Proving Immortality Starting with Hextech Runes

The enormous black shadow formed from the sound of annihilation, nourished by pure energy, began to churn less and less.

It no longer roared, but silently absorbed the dark energy surging from the altar.

Qingling took a slight breath, and the small sonic shields flying around her slowly disappeared.

The pressure from the two despairing spears wielded by the Voice of Annihilation, imbued with the essence of existence, still lingered in her mind.

She looked at Chen Xu's illusory figure, her eyes filled with both lingering fear and a hint of admiration.

"Thank you for your timely help, senior brother."

Chen Xu's illusory figure nodded slightly, but his gaze never left the shadowy figure in the dark domain:

"Your [Suppressing Heavenly Sound] was able to withstand its primal impact even in its early stages, its potential far exceeds expectations."

"But remember, it is only temporarily bound by rules and power; its chaotic and tyrannical nature remains unchanged."

"You need time to process what you just learned from the battle and transform that pressure into insights."

"Yes, Senior Brother!" Qingling replied respectfully, then sat cross-legged in mid-air and closed her eyes to regulate her breathing.

A bluish-gray wind swirled around her, occasionally condensing into tiny, illusory sonic shields.

Sometimes it transforms into invisible rhythmic ripples, clearly trying its best to comprehend the experience gained from colliding with the sound of annihilation.

Especially the deeper integration of the spatial stability law and the soul-suppressing ghostly sound.

Chen Xu withdrew most of his attention from the Beast Taming Space and refocused on the depths of the Myriad Sounds Cave.

The musical symbols on the stone table still exude an ancient and obscure resonance.

He gently brushed his fingertips over the symbols again, feeling the Daoist essence of [Soul-Suppressing Sound] and [Spatial Stability] contained within them.

He felt even more admiration for the methods of that ancient master of the Illusionary Sound Sect.

Just then, the symbols on the stone table suddenly emitted a faint light, as if in response to Chen Xu's touch.

Chen Xu's heart stirred, and he quickly immersed his divine sense into them, trying to establish a deeper connection with these symbols.

As Chen Xu's consciousness deepened, he gradually sensed the powerful force contained within these symbols.

They seem to be a huge energy source, containing endless energy.

Chen Xu tried to guide these energies, allowing them to circulate within his body.

However, these energies were far more violent than he had imagined.

As soon as it entered the meridian, Chen Xu felt an indescribable, intense pain.

It felt as if countless fine needles were piercing through his veins, each pulse accompanied by a tearing pain.

His face turned pale instantly, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Pfft!" Chen Xu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered backward.

His meridians have already developed tiny cracks; if this continues, he will likely explode and die.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, how are you?" Lin Miaoyin's voice sounded behind him, tinged with worry.

Chen Xu shook his head, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said with a wry smile, "This energy is too violent; I can't withstand it for the time being."

Lin Miaoyin walked to Chen Xu's side, carefully observed the symbols on the stone table, and said thoughtfully:

"Fellow Daoist Xu, the energy contained in these symbols is indeed powerful, but it is not uncontrollable."

"My Huanyin Sect's 'Nine Melodies of Heavenly Sound' records a special method that can transform these energies into one's own spiritual power."

Chen Xu quickly asked, "Manager Lin, what exactly is this method?"

Lin Miaoyin smiled slightly and explained, "This technique is called the 'Sound Wave Spirit Transformation Technique,' and it is one of the core techniques of my Illusionary Sound Sect."

"It can convert external sound wave energy into its own spiritual power, and at the same time enhance its own musical perception."

"However, this technique requires a certain foundation in music; otherwise, it is difficult to cultivate successfully."

Chen Xu's heart stirred. Although he did not understand music, Qing Ling in the Beast Taming Space was a music cultivator.

Perhaps Qingling could cultivate the "Sound Wave Spirit Transformation Technique" and then transfer the energy to him through a contract.

Thinking of this, Chen Xu said to Lin Miaoyin:

"Manager Lin, I wonder if you could teach me the 'Sound Wave Spirit Transformation Technique'? I have a friend who might be able to cultivate this technique."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Lin Miaoyin's eyes, but she still nodded:

"Since Fellow Daoist Xu is the benefactor of my Illusory Sound Sect, there is naturally no problem with him imparting his cultivation techniques to me."

"However, this 'Sound Wave Spirit Transformation Technique' requires the use of my Illusionary Sound Sect's special mental cultivation method to be practiced. I need to explain the key points of the mental cultivation method to you first."

Chen Xu quickly thanked her and then listened attentively to Lin Miaoyin's explanation of the key points of the "Sound Wave Spirit Transformation Technique".

Lin Miaoyin explained it in great detail, from the circulation path of the mental cultivation method to the precautions, she explained them all one by one.

Chen Xu memorized these key points, then focused his mind on the Beast Taming Space, imparting the essentials of the cultivation method to Qing Ling.

Upon hearing this, a hint of excitement flashed in Qingling's eyes.

She is a music engineer by profession and has a natural sensitivity to music.

This "Sound Wave Spirit Transformation Technique" was practically a tailor-made technique for her.

"Senior brother, I'll start cultivating now!" Qingling's voice rang out in Chen Xu's mind.

Chen Xu nodded, then focused most of his attention on Qing Ling, observing her cultivation progress.

Qingling sat cross-legged in the Beast Taming Space, and began to guide the energy on the stone table according to the key points of the "Sound Wave Spirit Transformation Technique".

A bluish-gray wind swirled around her fingertips as she gently touched the projection of symbols on the stone table.

In an instant, a massive surge of sonic energy erupted from the symbol and flowed into Qingling's body.

Qingling's body trembled slightly, and then she began to circulate her inner energy, converting it into her own spiritual power.

Unlike Chen Xu, Qing Ling has an extremely strong affinity for sound wave energy.

These violent energies seemed to find a home within her body, becoming docile.

They circulated through Qingling's meridians according to the operating route of the cultivation method, constantly strengthening her spiritual power.

The bluish-gray yin wind surrounding Qingling gradually intensified, intertwining with sonic energy to form a unique energy field.

Her aura grew stronger and stronger, and the nascent soul of the Ghost Path in her sea of ​​consciousness became more solid.

"This 'Sound Wave Spirit Transformation Technique' is truly exquisite!" Qingling's voice, tinged with excitement, echoed in Chen Xu's mind.

"I feel my spiritual power is growing at an astonishing rate, and my understanding of the laws of sound waves is also becoming more profound."

Chen Xu smiled slightly, feeling gratified by Qingling's progress.

Just then, the symbols on the stone table suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light.

Countless sonic energies surged from the symbol, flowing into Qingling's body like a tide.

Qingling's body trembled slightly, and then she began to fully activate the "Sound Wave Spirit Transformation Technique" to convert this energy into her own spiritual power.

As energy continued to pour in, Qingling's aura grew stronger, and the bluish-gray yin wind around her became even more violent.

Within her sea of ​​consciousness, the outline of the Ghost Dao Nascent Soul gradually became clear, radiating a powerful pressure.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Qingling's body erupted with a powerful energy wave, causing the surrounding space to tremble slightly.

Her spiritual power broke through the bottleneck and reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"It's a success!" Qingling's voice, tinged with excitement, rang in Chen Xu's mind.

"I've broken through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage!"

Chen Xu was overjoyed and quickly said to Qing Ling, "Congratulations, Qing Ling! Your strength has improved significantly again."

Qingling smiled slightly and said, "I have to thank you for your help, Senior Brother. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to break through so quickly."

Chen Xu waved his hand and said, "This is the result of your own hard work. I only provided some help."

Just then, the symbols on the stone table emitted a burst of light once more.

A sound wave containing an ancient rhythm shot out from the symbol and merged into Qingling's sea of ​​consciousness.

Qingling's body trembled slightly, and then she fell into deep thought.

This sound wave is not pure energy, but a complete imprint of a law.

It contains the ultimate understanding of "the fusion of space and soul suppression" by ancient musical masters.

In Qingling's sea of ​​consciousness, the originally scattered insights were as if connected by invisible threads, instantly forming a complete system.

She seemed to see that powerful being plucking the strings of a zither in the void, each tremor triggering the laws of space.

"So that's how it is..." Qingling's voice rang in Chen Xu's mind, carrying an unprecedented understanding.

"Spatial stability is not simply about defense, but about achieving control of the domain by adjusting the frequency to resonate with heaven and earth."

"The Soul-Suppressing Sound is not merely an attack; it also guides the soul through a specific rhythm..."

"By combining the two, an independent realm of order can be constructed."

"Within the domain, our power will be amplified, while the enemy's power will be suppressed."

Chen Xu's heart stirred; Qingling's words deepened his understanding of [Zhenyu Tianyin].

He could sense that Qingling's aura was undergoing a qualitative change.

The originally cold and gloomy aura of the ghost path now has a touch of calm and profound spatial rhythm.

It is like an invisible mountain, both indestructible and capable of suppressing everything.

Just as Qingling was immersed in her enlightenment, the Silent Voice within the Beast Taming Space suddenly let out a low roar.

It seemed to sense the change in Qingling, and an instinctive sense of threat made it restless.

The runes on the dark altar flickered, attempting to suppress its agitation.

But the black shadow formed by the sound of annihilation still churned in the dark domain, and the pitch-black sound waves continued to impact the spatial barrier.

"It seems it also sensed the threat." Chen Xu's thoughts entered Qingling's sea of ​​consciousness.

"The more perfect your [Suppressing Heavenly Sound] is, the stronger its suppression will be. Its current agitation proves that you are on the right track."

Qingling slowly opened her eyes, her pupils gleaming with confidence:

"Don't worry, senior brother, I already understand how to further improve [Zhenyu Tianyin]."

"The sound of annihilation... will be my best whetstone."

As soon as she finished speaking, the rhythm of [Zhenyu Tianyin] once again gathered around her.

This time, the sound waves were no longer a simple defensive shield, but formed a semi-transparent field that enveloped her.

Within the domain, spatial patterns and aura of soul-suppressing light intertwined, exuding a sense of order that brought peace of mind.

A moment later, Chen Xu withdrew his attention from the Beast Taming Space and refocused on the depths of the Myriad Sounds Cave.

The symbols on the stone table still exude an ancient and obscure aura.

But he could sense that most of the energy in these symbols had been absorbed by Qingling.

"Fellow Daoist Xu." Lin Miaoyin's voice came from the palace gate.

She had been waiting outside, keenly sensing the drastic changes in the energy fluctuations within the hall, and spoke:

"Are you... alright? The atmosphere inside the hall fluctuated wildly just now."

Chen Xu turned around and nodded slightly: "It's alright, I gained some insights, but it took a lot of energy."

"Manager Lin, the symbols here are profound. I have grasped their essence and there is no need for me to stay any longer."

"Please lead the way to the next remnant."

Upon hearing this, Lin Miaoyin could not hide her surprise.

She knew all too well that the symbols of the Tianyin Ancient Temple were obscure and difficult to understand, and that successive generations of disciples had spent a hundred years only to grasp the basics.

This fellow Daoist Xu dares to say that he has grasped its essence?

She suppressed the turmoil in her mind and respectfully replied:

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Xu. Please follow me. The next place is called the Wall of Echoes of Myriad Laws."

The two once again embarked on the path paved with sound patterns, venturing deeper into the cave.

The space grew ever larger, and the lingering ancient atmosphere became ever stronger, as if every step was treading on the echoes of history.

The rhythm permeating the air was no longer merely harmonious; it also carried a sense of vastness and antiquity, and even a hint of subtle sorrow.

"The Echo Wall of Ten Thousand Laws," Lin Miaoyin explained as she walked, her voice echoing strangely in the vast cave.

"It is said that it was not created by human hands, but a natural wonder formed when the laws of heaven and earth collided with the chaotic energy at the beginning of the formation of the cave heaven."

"Its walls are as smooth as a mirror, reflecting all things."

"What's even stranger is that it can record and replay any energy fluctuations that act on it."

Whether it's magical spells or pure laws and principles.

If one can evoke a resonance within it, one might even glimpse the imprints of laws left behind by ancient powerful beings.

Chen Xu's heart stirred. This "Wall of Echoes of Myriad Laws" sounded like a natural arena for practicing and passing on the laws of martial arts.

If used properly, it will greatly benefit Qingling in consolidating [Zhenyu Tianyin].

Perhaps it will inspire me to comprehend the Dao patterns in the fragments of the Nine Abyss Soul-Suppressing Disc, and even to understand some of the secrets of the Blood Sacrifice Demon-Sealing Platform.

"It sounds incredibly mysterious."

Chen Xu responded calmly, but his divine sense had already quietly spread out, carefully sensing a strange fluctuation that was becoming clearer and clearer ahead.

Before long, the view suddenly opened up before me.

A vast, flat space appeared before us.

At the end of the space stood a "wall" whose size could not be described in words.

That is the Echo Wall of All Laws.

Chen Xu stood before the wall, as insignificant as a speck of dust.

Simply by gazing at it, one can feel that one's own aura, spiritual power, and even the fluctuations of one's divine sense are being silently captured and analyzed by this giant wall.

It's as if it will be "replayed" exactly as it was in the next moment.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, this is the Echo Wall of Myriad Laws." Lin Miaoyin's voice was filled with awe.

"To evoke its resonance, one must touch the wall with one's own Daoist principles or powerful energy fluctuations."

"But remember, the power of the replay may far exceed that of the caster and contains the impact of laws, so be very careful."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xu's gaze sharpened slightly.

He did not make a move immediately, but instead sent a wisp of his spiritual sense to probe the smooth, mirror-like wall.

hum...

The wall suddenly lit up, and a divine sense impact several times stronger than when he extended it, like a materialized sound wave, instantly swept back!

Chen Xu groaned, his mind reeling violently, and he involuntarily took half a step back, a solemn look appearing in his eyes.

This Echo Wall of Ten Thousand Laws truly lives up to its name...
