Chapter 1212 Join forces
Urged on by the four of them, all the experts quickly headed south.

The imperial city is to the west, and another evil lord is coming from the west; they must avoid him.

Chu Zhiyuan headed west.

He stopped abruptly halfway through his journey as memories of the Evil Lord flooded his mind.

Chu Liezhao had already extracted it from the Haoyang Demon-Subduing Mirror.

Chu Zhiyuan, Leng Tieya, and Zhu Lingyun were naturally aware of this as well.

The Evil Lord comes from another layer of heaven, the Dream Heaven, which is even higher.

The path of cultivation in the Dream Realm differs from that in this world, placing greater emphasis on spiritual cultivation.

By concentrating one's spiritual strength and becoming more resolute step by step, it is like forging a sword, forging a sword of the spirit.

The path of cultivation can be righteous or wicked. The righteous path is to cultivate step by step, becoming purer and purer, until quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

The crooked path, however, draws upon faith power, using it to alter one's spiritual power, making it easier and purer, saving effort and time, and at an astonishingly fast pace.

This evil lord walks an evil path, drawing upon the faith and power of the disciples of the Giant Spirit Sect.

The purpose of lowering the power is to further solidify their belief and worship.

The reason for descending to the mortal realm is to steal a rare treasure, a treasure that fell from the Dreamland in ancient times.

This treasure can directly transform one's spiritual power to the highest level, completely converting one's spirit into a deity.

From then on, they entered the Spirit Realm, also known as the Divine Realm, where they were immortal and indestructible.

When Chu Zhiyuan thought of this, he was surprised, never expecting to find such a rare treasure.

What's strange is that such a rare treasure has been preserved until now, instead of being stolen long ago.

Then it was seen that Biyuan Heaven and Youmeng Heaven were isolated from each other, and only the spirit could reach each other.

There is only one thing that can cross the two realms and reach each other, and that is the indestructible golden essence.

The Undying Golden Essence exists in the void, and only the Undying Evil Lord has the opportunity to obtain it, making it extremely rare.

The master of this soul, the Giant Spirit Evil Lord, had long planned to descend upon this world.

However, the conditions for its arrival are stringent and it is not easy.

This time, it finally came to pass, and I thought it was good luck, but I didn't expect it to be a disaster.

As Chu Zhiyuan's thoughts began to stir, his attention was focused on Zhu Lingyun.

Zhu Lingyun has now regained his freedom, and also possesses the power and memories of the Evil Lord.

He now resembles the Evil Lord, seemingly no different from before.

Chu Zhiyuan found it strange.

The current situation is beyond his expectations and imagination, and beyond his goals.

Zhu Lingyun floated forward, and as she passed over a mountain peak, she met a handsome middle-aged man on the summit.

The two stopped abruptly and looked each other over.

They each sensed the aura of spiritual magic and knew they were of the same kind.

"May the Giant Spirit Peak bring you good fortune!"

"Feiling Cliff Helingchuan!"

"As expected, they are experts from Giant Spirit Peak." The handsome middle-aged man, He Lingchuan, chuckled and said, "I didn't expect such a coincidence."

"Someone from Flying Spirit Cliff actually descended as well?" Zhu Lingyun frowned, scrutinizing him before shaking his head. "Did they use some kind of secret technique to force their way down?"

He Lingchuan asked, "Did you descend using an ordinary method?"

Zhu Lingyun said calmly, "This body is the son of a god."

He Lingchuan looked Zhu Lingyun over again, shook his head, and sighed, "He really has good luck!"

The requirements for a divine child are too stringent, making it virtually impossible to find one.

Even if you can find them, you can't painstakingly cultivate them; they often fail halfway and never truly grow up.

It might be what is known as divine jealousy.

But once the divine child is truly accomplished, it becomes the best vessel, able to descend smoothly and bear all power.

All the cultivation he had in Youmeng Heaven could be transferred to this body.

Those who cannot descend upon the divine child can only possess half of the cultivation.

There is always a conflict between the mind and the body, and they cannot be in harmony.

It's a bit awkward and uncomfortable, but I have to accept it.

But the divine child was completely different, worlds apart, making him extremely envious and jealous.

Zhu Lingyun asked, "Mr. He, what brings you here to see me?"

He Lingchuan smiled and said, "Mr. Zhu, how about we go into the imperial city together?"

"Let's go into the capital together?" Zhu Lingyun revealed a strange smile: "There's no need for that!" He knew immediately that these words concealed ulterior motives.

He was trying to use his own strength to explore the way; otherwise, he wouldn't dare to enter the imperial city on his own.

With only half the cultivation level, one simply cannot crush all the masters in this world.

Under such circumstances, storming the imperial city would be tantamount to suicide.

They wanted to enter the imperial city to search for rare treasures, but lacked the ability to do so. Finding someone to clear the way ahead was naturally the only option.

He Lingchuan said, "Our Feiling Cliff has spies within the imperial city."

Zhu Lingyun chuckled and said, "You really dare to say that!"

He shook his head and said, "It's impossible for the outer disciples of Flying Spirit Cliff and Giant Spirit Cliff to break into the Imperial City. There are divine artifacts guarding it, and city guards to identify them."

He Lingchuan smiled proudly: "The imperial city has its own methods, but we have our own."

"You really have disciples in the city?" Zhu Lingyun sneered. "Then do you know where the treasure is?"

He Lingchuan said, "It seems you still don't believe it... Just because your Giant Spirit Cliff can't do it, does that mean no one can?"

"Where is the treasure?" Zhu Lingyun asked.

“...It should be at the Imperial Ancestral Temple,” He Lingchuan said.

“The Imperial Ancestral Temple? There’s no way we could break in.” Zhu Lingyun shook his head and said, “There must be guardians inside, keeping it strictly guarded.”

“They wouldn’t expect anyone to dare trespass into the Imperial Ancestral Temple; this is our opportunity,” He Lingchuan said. “Don’t you dare, Mr. Zhu?”

Zhu Lingyun pondered.

He Lingchuan chuckled and said, "It's because I'm reluctant to part with this divine child. Compared to that treasure, a divine child is nothing."

Zhu Lingyun snorted: "If you're not afraid, why don't you just barge in? You can just return to your original form if you die anyway."

Once they die, their souls return to their original bodies, but they suffer mental trauma and need a period of recuperation.

These evil lords never expected to have such a wondrous object as the Haoyang Demon-Subduing Mirror, or someone like Chu Zhiyuan who could master the first level of the Heavenly Origin Technique. The combination of the two could absorb and refine souls.

This is equivalent to their nemesis.

He Lingchuan laughed and said, "I'm not afraid, but I don't want to die in vain. Returning to my body would be a torment."

Zhu Lingyun said, "Goodbye, I won't see you off."

He turned to leave as he spoke.

"Wait!" He Lingchuan said hurriedly.

Zhu Lingyun looked at him.

He Lingchuan said, "Another guy from Wanxiang Cliff has also descended. How about the three of us join forces?"

Zhu Lingyun glanced at him sideways.

He Lingchuan said, "If the three of us join forces, we can force our way into the imperial city!"

Zhu Lingyun scoffed, "That guy at Wanxiang Cliff doesn't have a divine son either, does he?"

He Lingchuan said, "He wasn't that lucky either, not even as lucky as you, Mr. Zhu."

Zhu Lingyun glanced at him sideways and sneered, "So you two are both trying to take advantage of me!"

He Lingchuan said, "If it weren't for my information, Mr. Zhu, do you know where to look?"

Zhu Lingyun said calmly, "I'll find out eventually by asking around."

“Who knows when that will be?” He Lingchuan said. “Moreover, there are still many Undying Gods who want to get involved. Things could get complicated if we wait too long.”

Zhu Lingyun said, "Then tell me, what other secret methods do you have? Tell me everything so I can consider it."

He Lingchuan looked at him, then looked into the distance.

Zhu Lingyun snorted, "It seems you've joined forces. Let him come out too!"

"Alright." He Lingchuan pursed his lips and let out a long whistle.

The roaring sound rolled like thunder, spreading outwards.

A moment later, a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance drifted over from a distance.

He approached and clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "Zhong Lingyun of Wanxiang Cliff."

Zhu Lingyun said, "Mr. Zhong, what brilliant ideas do you two have? Tell us about them."

"Mr. Zhu doesn't want to join forces with us because he's afraid that once we get the treasure, we won't be able to divide it among ourselves, right?"

Zhu Lingyun snorted, "Do you mean we'll have to fight over it again then?"

He's not afraid of competition; even the two of them combined might not be his match.

They must have understood this, yet they still dared to join forces with him.

It is obvious that they must have something to rely on.
