The Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace is shrouded in celestial mists year-round, with spiritual fog floating and drifting, and a pervasive Daoist aura covering the entire immortal mountain, exuding a mysterious and otherworldly divine grace.

Deep within the palace, in a secluded chamber isolated from the outside world, the spiritual light of the barrier flows, blocking out all the impurities and chaos of the world.

In the center of the secret room, a man and a woman sat cross-legged facing each other; they were Xiao Ling and Ling Qingzhu.

The two men's four palms met from a distance, their fingertips subtly merging with each other's energy. A layer of faint, shimmering light enveloped their bodies, with wisps of profound Dao patterns appearing and disappearing, swirling and flowing endlessly.

A profound and mysterious aura rose from the two of them, faintly resonating with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, as if their souls had transcended the shackles of the mortal world and reached the void, able to draw upon the laws of Heaven and Earth.

To help Ling Qingzhu further improve her cultivation of the Supreme Induction Technique and break through its limitations, Xiao Ling has been taking time out of his spare time to practice with her these days.

Xiao Ling's cultivation is unfathomable, and his foundation is as vast as the sea. His unique strength and foundation are enough to allow him to directly understand the origin of the Great Dao and the true meaning of the laws of heaven and earth. He can guide Ling Qingzhu and help her break through the illusions of cultivation.

Ling Qingzhu, on the other hand, carries the inheritance of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace and has an innate affinity with the power of the Supreme Being. She is deeply favored by the Supreme Being's Daoist charm and has an innate talent for comprehending the origin of the Supreme Being's Sensing Technique that is difficult for others to match.

The two, one guiding and the other understanding, one assisting and the other enlightening, practiced together and complemented each other.

At this moment, their palm prints touched, and their minds and spirits completely merged and became one.

With the help of Xiao Ling's cultivation foundation, the two consciousnesses broke free from the shackles of their physical bodies, rose slowly, and merged into the vast天地 (heaven and earth).

Ling Qingzhu felt that her thoughts moved at will, and her mind looked down on the entire Tianxuan Continent. Thousands of mountains and valleys, rivers and plains, and vast wilderness all rushed through her sea of ​​consciousness. All things rose and fell, and all were contained within a single thought.

As the various scenes gradually faded and all things returned to silence, it seemed as if they had transformed into a vast and empty void.

As time passed, the merging consciousness of the two continued to rise slowly, transcending the boundaries of the mortal world and ascending towards the higher realm of the Great Dao.

When consciousness returned to clarity, the surrounding scenery had completely changed.

The surrounding area was a primordial chaos, as if it were the primordial origin before the creation of heaven and earth and before the determination of the universe.

There is no distinction between up and down, east and west, north and south. The flow of time and space seems to be frozen and slowed down, and the rise and fall of time becomes ethereal and indistinguishable. Only the ancient and boundless Daoist rhythm echoes leisurely in the chaos.

Standing in this primordial chaos, surrounded by nothing but emptiness and timelessness—no sun, moon, stars, mountains, or rivers—Ling Qingzhu's consciousness was filled with surprise and doubt, a wisp of confusion quietly lingering in her sea of ​​consciousness.

Where exactly is this place?

This ethereal and otherworldly realm had never been seen in any of my previous cultivation experiences.

Just as she was filled with doubt and confusion, Xiao Ling's gentle and steady voice suddenly echoed deep within her consciousness.

"There is no need to be alarmed. I believe this is the true abode of the Supreme Being."

He paused, his tone tinged with a hint of melancholy, and continued to transmit his thoughts telepathically:
"After all this effort, we've finally managed to bring you into this place thanks to this mysterious and unpredictable force."

Since comprehending the Supreme Induction Technique, Xiao Ling has often focused his mind on cultivating and comprehending this chaotic Supreme Secret Realm.

He knew perfectly well that the embryo of the plane was hidden within this primordial space, but no matter how much he devoted his soul power to exploring and sensing everywhere, he could not detect even the slightest trace of the embryo's aura.

It was obvious without much thought that the spirit of that plane was cunning and quick-witted, and was deliberately concealing its tracks, intentionally avoiding showing itself and meeting with it.

Xiao Ling had already made up his mind that only by borrowing Ling Qingzhu's unique Supreme Affinity could he have a chance to break the deadlock and find the hidden dimensional spirit.

However, given Ling Qingzhu's current cultivation level and the fact that the Supreme Sensing Technique is not yet perfect, she simply cannot enter this Supreme Origin Space on her own.

Xiao Ling naturally did not want to waste time on this matter, so he simply used his own foundation as a guide, and together with Ling Qingzhu's merging consciousness, they comprehended and resonated. After several dedicated attempts and hundreds of times of adjustment and guidance, and after spending a lot of mental effort, they finally got their wish today and stepped into this primordial chaos space.

Listening to Xiao Ling's somewhat obscure explanation, Ling Qingzhu was still confused and unable to fully grasp the reasons for her current situation.

But she was naturally calm and insightful, so she didn't delve too deeply into it. Her mind and spirit peacefully and obediently attached themselves to Xiao Ling's consciousness, quiet and at ease.

A thought quietly emerged in her mind, asking softly, "What should I do next? You told me before that this place contains something of vital importance to you, and that you need my help to make progress. Is that true?"

Xiao Ling's mental voice slowly echoed in the chaos: "Not bad. Next, I will spread your senses along with your consciousness, and with your innate affinity with the Supreme Origin, I will try to lure out that hidden fellow."

He paused slightly, his tone carrying a faint sigh and expectation:
"I only hope that this time you can gain something. If there is still no progress, we can only wait for you to cultivate the Supreme Induction Technique to a higher level in the future and explore again by relying on your own original resonance."

"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements. I hope it will be as you say, and that we can achieve something this time. I will do my best to help you."

Ling Qingzhu silently agreed, and then there was no further turmoil in her heart. She allowed her consciousness to quietly attach itself to Xiao Ling's consciousness, without any resistance, and silently awaited Xiao Ling's next move.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling said no more and, taking advantage of the merging of their divine senses, slowly spread his perception outwards to the surrounding chaos.

The power of the divine soul spread and rippled inch by inch, cautiously exploring this primordial secret realm, determined to find the plane spirit hidden here.

At first, no matter how intently he tried to sense it, the surroundings remained completely silent, without any response.

It was as if this chaotic world had already foreseen his intentions, concealing its tracks and setting up defenses everywhere, unwilling to reveal even the slightest hint of its presence.

However, just as Xiao Ling was guiding Ling Qingzhu's innate affinity with the Supreme Origin to slowly spread outwards, strange ripples finally appeared in the deathly silence of chaos.

Xiao Ling's mind was incredibly sharp, and he instantly detected the strange fluctuation coming from the depths of the chaos.

The moment he sensed the unusual movement, his consciousness immediately followed the aura and rushed towards it.

Then, from the depths of chaos, countless rays of light suddenly surged and rippled, blooming in layers, like a vast and boundless sea of ​​light undulating and rippling in the primordial chaos.

Within this chaotic spiritual light lies a boundless and limitless source of life force, so vast and expansive that even Xiao Ling couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in his heart upon seeing it.

That power was so pure and natural, it seemed to be the very essence that had been born since the beginning of the universe.

Even with his vast experience and familiarity with wonders of nature and ancient mysteries, Xiao Ling was still deeply moved upon standing before this primordial chaos. As for Ling Qingzhu, needless to say, witnessing such a magnificent and awe-inspiring spectacle deeply touched her soul.

His usually calm and detached consciousness was suddenly stirred by waves of emotion, his heart filled with disbelief and shock, and he was completely immersed in this magnificent and boundless chaotic wonder.

Seeing that his plan had been successfully completed, Xiao Ling gazed at the chaotic spiritual light surging and rising like a vast ocean before him, and couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

He focused his mind and carefully sensed the vast and strange fluctuations deep within this sea of ​​light. He was now certain that this aura was undoubtedly the spirit of the plane that belonged exclusively to the Tianxuan Continent.

"You really are a master of deception. It took me so much effort and trouble to finally see you in person. It was truly no easy feat."

Xiao Ling's thoughts echoed softly in the chaos, carrying a sigh that was both helpless and playful.

slam-la-

Just as Xiao Ling was gazing intently, the entire chaotic sea of ​​light suddenly surged and undulated, and a clear, melodious sound, like flowing water, could be faintly heard.

In the center of the Chaos Sea, a colossal void vortex suddenly swirled, its core swirling with violent air currents. Then, a massive sphere of chaotic light, a thousand feet in size, slowly rose from the depths of the vortex.

The sphere of light was perfectly round and heavy, resembling a heart formed from the very essence of heaven and earth, pulsating gently and steadily. With each beat, the entire Tianxuan Continent trembled slightly, the earth's veins and the energy of heaven and earth resonating in unison.

It seems to breathe, and with each breath, it stirs up the gathering of clouds and the rising and falling of tides, and the sun, moon and stars follow its rhythm.

"So this is the embryo of a plane..."

Xiao Ling stared intently at the chaotic sphere of light, inwardly marveling. "Truly worthy of being a supreme treasure born from a different plane, its aura is profound and unfathomable; it lives up to its reputation."

He carefully sensed it, and although he could not detect any clear thoughts or ideas from the sphere of light, he could clearly sense the endless spirituality and vast origin contained within it.

No wonder even the Ancestor of Symbols was so attached to it back then, and in the end, he was even willing to burn himself out and sacrifice himself for reincarnation.

Even though he was already familiar with the original plot, he still went to great lengths and laid many groundworks this time. He also relied on the power of Ling Qingzhu's Supreme Origin to finally find this place and cause the embryo of the plane to reveal its form.

“Dimensional Embryo, I know you can understand my thoughts, so I will not feign understanding with you.”

"My purpose in setting foot on the Tianxuan Continent and seeking you here is to borrow your original power."

Xiao Ling locked his gaze on the Plane Embryo floating in the chaotic sea of ​​light. Without holding back, he directly transmitted his thoughts to it through his consciousness, frankly stating what was in his heart without any beating around the bush or formalities.

His words were frank and open, revealing no trace of his ambition.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ling changed his tone and made a solemn promise:

"In exchange, I can wipe out all the demons in the world, kill all the powerful enemies from outside the realm who dare to invade the Tianxuan Continent, and eradicate all the external threats that plague the planes."

"In the years to come, I will rely on my own cultivation to eternally protect the Tianxuan Continent, safeguard the peace and stability of this world, and ensure that the beings of this plane will no longer be disturbed by war, and enjoy lasting peace and tranquility."

The Dimensional Embryo sensed the consciousness message transmitted by Xiao Ling, and its inner spiritual essence was initially dazed and confused.

It had sensed Ling Qingzhu's mental fluctuations, which were incredibly compatible with the Supreme Origin, and thus couldn't help but stir up ripples and reveal its presence. Little did it expect that Xiao Ling, whom it had been deliberately avoiding, would seize the opportunity to capture its aura and follow the clues all the way here.

The spirits of the planes have no clear intelligence; they judge the world based solely on their innate instincts. In the face of this sudden change, they were momentarily unable to react.

But its dimensional instincts told it that there was no way to avoid it and it had to negotiate with the person in front of it.

After a moment of silence, layers of soft light slowly rippled across the surface of the chaotic light sphere, conveying a response to Xiao Ling with the most primal fluctuations of intention.

Xiao Ling focused his mind to receive this stream of consciousness information and instantly understood the intention of the Plane Embryo.

The other party's meaning was simple: if they wanted to negotiate a deal and borrow the power of origin, they would first have to pledge allegiance and completely eliminate all the evil demons lurking in the world of Tianxuan Continent.

After clearing his mind, Xiao Ling understood the situation perfectly.

He was not a native being of the Tianxuan Continent, and the Plane Embryo harbored a natural aversion to him. His previous deliberate concealment and avoidance were the best evidence of this.

This kind of talk is clearly imitating what they did to Fu Zu back then, pretending to be diplomatic and evasive, and making empty promises to deceive themselves.

However, this is also reasonable. If a few promises could easily sway the embryo of a plane, it would have fallen into the hands of the Symbol Ancestor long ago, and there would be no need for me to come here to explore and negotiate.
However, Xiao Ling is insightful and shrewd, unlike the ancestor Fu who was righteous and easily swayed back then. Naturally, he would not follow the whims of the plane's embryo and allow himself to be manipulated.

Xiao Ling's mind stirred slightly, and his thoughts transformed into a wisp of primordial sound transmission, which was sent directly into the depths of the embryonic spirit's consciousness in the plane.

“Alright. Since you want me to purge all the alien demons on the Tianxuan Continent as a pledge of loyalty, then I will agree, to show my sincerity and determination.”

"However, I will also tell you the truth: I can wipe out ordinary demons, but the Demon Emperor has an immense foundation. With my current cultivation, I am still unable to contend with him alone. When it comes time to settle accounts with the Demon Emperor, I will need to borrow the power of your plane's origin to be able to match him."

"I hope you will keep your promise and lend your full support. If you deliberately shirk your responsibility and go back on your word afterward, refusing to help, then I will know what I'm doing. Even if I am no match for the Demon Emperor in a direct confrontation, I am more than capable of protecting myself and escaping."

“I am not a native of Tianxuan Continent. At worst, I can simply withdraw and leave. If the Demon Emperor wreaks havoc on this land and slaughters living beings, I will no longer interfere and will let Tianxuan Continent fend for itself.”

Back then, the talisman ancestor was fooled by the plane embryo and fought to the death with the alien demon emperor all the way, ultimately sacrificing himself to seal the alien demon emperor.

Having learned from the example of the talisman ancestor, Xiao Ling would not be so foolish.

Although the embryos of a plane lack independent consciousness, they are born with spirituality and can instinctively judge the safety of a plane and then take corresponding actions.

Then we'll see if the Heavenly Profound Continent can remain indifferent when it truly faces the threat of the Demon Emperor.

Although Xiao Ling's idea had an element of gambling, he always firmly believed in his judgment.

If the Plane Embryo is truly so foolish as to stand idly by while the Demon Emperor wreaks havoc on the world, refusing to contribute its power, then Xiao Ling will have no choice but to consider using some forceful measures. (End of Chapter)
