7: Chapter 7 The Undying and Indestructible Technique

Ling Yuan's Soul Power sank through his Sea of Consciousness all the way down, reaching deep underground.

However, just as that force touched an invisible barrier, it was blocked.

Ling Yun immediately stepped forward: "Young Clan Leader, to be safe, you should step back a bit. I will go down first to scout the way."

He had also tried to investigate just now and vaguely captured a faint trace of Soul fluctuation, but it was extremely indistinct and flickering.

This point alone was enough to show that the place below was by no means ordinary.

The unknown often meant a deadly killing intent.

As a guard, Ling Yun's duty was to protect Ling Yuan's safety.

Ling Yuan was the Genius with the densest Dou Di Bloodline in the Ling Clan for nearly a thousand years, the hope for the Ling Clan's revival. If an accident happened to him here, Ling Yun would not be able to redeem himself even with ten thousand deaths.

"Alright, be careful."

Ling Yuan did not refuse, reaching out to pull Zi Yan beside him and retreating a long distance.

Behind unknown Opportunities, danger often followed.

He did not think there was anything wrong with letting Ling Yun scout the way first; this was simply the other party's duty.

Of course, if Ling Yun really died here, Ling Yuan would not mistreat his family.

Ling Yun's figure flickered, sweeping into the invisible barrier like a ghost and disappearing into the darkness.

Before long, his figure reappeared, quickly returning to Ling Yuan with a somewhat strange expression on his face.

"Young Clan Leader, there is no danger below, only a remnant Soul talking nonsense." Ling Yun paused and continued, "That remnant Soul claims that only by slaying a Void Ancient Dragon can one obtain his Legacy."

As soon as Ling Yun went down, he saw a shriveled old man floating in mid-air, shouting incessantly with spittle flying everywhere, repeating those same few sentences over and over.

It annoyed Ling Yun so much that he almost struck out directly to disperse that vulnerable remnant Soul.

Ling Yuan: ??

He was very curious about exactly what kind of Legacy it was.

And he wanted to kill a Void Ancient Dragon—could it be that he really was beaten to death by Zhu Kun? Had he actually guessed correctly?

Since Ling Yun confirmed there was no danger, Ling Yuan no longer hesitated, taking Zi Yan's hand and stepping through that layer of invisible Soul barrier.

The scene before them was somewhat simple, just a naturally formed giant cave with rough rocks on all four walls, lacking any order.

Judging by common sense, a truly top-tier Legacy would never be hidden in such a crude place.

Ling Yuan's gaze quickly swept around and soon discovered the remnant Soul Ling Yun had mentioned.

It was a withered old man, so thin that only a bag of bones remained, yet his eyes still held a sharp light.

"Junior, I am Saint Undying. Your Soul is quite good and can accept my Legacy, but my condition is that after you master it, you must exterminate the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan!"

As the old man spoke, his gaze swept over Zi Yan beside Ling Yuan.

He was first slightly stunned, then his eyes were full of surprise, and finally, that surprise was quickly replaced by a thick killing intent.

"Void Ancient Dragon! This aura, it is that person's child!"

The old man's remnant Soul suddenly erupted with a terrifying Soul fluctuation, lunging straight for Zi Yan, clearly intending to kill her directly.

Ling Yun was not just for show; he gave a cold snort and instantly blocked the way, striking out with a palm.

The invisible Qi collided with that Soul fluctuation, instantly shattering it.

The old man saw that the one in charge here was Ling Yuan. He pointed his finger at Zi Yan again and hissed at Ling Yuan: "Kill her! This supreme Legacy of mine will all be yours!"

Ling Yuan: "Old man, you've been talking until now and I still don't know what your Legacy is..."

"My Myriad Body Origin-Returning Art is a supreme immortal and indestructible Clone Cultivation Technique! Cultivating this art allows one to condense several Clones. As long as the main body and any one Clone are not killed at the same time, one can achieve immortality."

"These Clones have no independent consciousness and will only Cultivate day and night without stopping. When the time is ripe, all Clones can return the results of their Cultivation to the source, passing it all to the main body. Through this, the main body's strength can soar rapidly, and this process has no negative side effects!"

Ling Yuan was shocked upon hearing this.

Hiss—

This Cultivation Technique was simply too Heaven-Defying!

In other words, for every Soul Realm he advanced, he would have one more Clone helping him Cultivate, which was equivalent to directly doubling his Cultivation speed!

By the time he reached the Emperor Realm, that would be ten times the efficiency!

Moreover, the survival ability was ridiculously strong. As long as the main body and all Clones were not slain simultaneously, he would never die, which was equivalent to having several lives!

This Cultivation Technique both accounted for a terrifying Cultivation speed and possessed unparalleled survival capabilities; it was truly a rare Heaven-Defying Cultivation Technique in the world!

The old man took in Ling Yuan's shocked expression.

He was extremely confident in his Cultivation Technique, believing that no one could resist the temptation of such a supreme Cultivation Technique.

"Not only that, the Cultivation speed of the Clones is exactly the same as the main body. After the Spirit Realm, every time the Soul Realm is raised, one can condense a Clone. At the Spirit Realm Great Perfection, one can condense four; at the Heaven Realm Great Perfection, eight; as for the Emperor Realm, it is even more powerful, reaching a maximum of ten!"

After a brief introduction, the old man had a proud look on his face.

"How about it?" The old man urged again, his eyes flashing with expectant light, "Kill her, and this Myriad Body Origin-Returning Art will be yours!"

However, right at this moment, the shock in Ling Yuan's eyes gradually faded, replaced by deep suspicion.

He suddenly thought of a question: if this Cultivation Technique was so strong, how did this old man die?

Ling Yuan's eyes were full of doubt: "Since this art is so immortal and indestructible, then how did you die?"

The smile on the old man's face froze, and his expression instantly became somewhat awkward. He stammered for a long time before saying through gritted teeth:

"Back then, I accidentally discovered the Legacy of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode. In my haste to quickly increase my strength, I recalled all my Clones.

Who would have thought that I would be secretly schemed against by Zhu Kun, that old dragon, and both my main body and all Clones were slain by him! Otherwise, how could I have ended up in this state of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!"

Ling Yuan understood in his heart; now everything was clear.

This Saint Undying probably never dreamed that he would run into Zhu Kun in such a remote and barren place like the Northwest Continent.

It could only be said that his luck was too poor and his actions were not cautious enough to end up like this.

Beside him, Ling Yun's focus was completely different from Ling Yuan's. Hearing the words 'Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode', his eyes instantly lit up.

He stepped forward to question: "You discovered the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode? Where exactly is it?"

The old man's remnant Soul aura flickered, and he immediately held onto his conditions: "Kill her, and I will tell you both the Cultivation Technique and the location of the Immortal Cave!"

His remnant Soul had persisted for tens of thousands of years, and its energy was already exhausted, which was why Ling Yun had judged him to be no threat earlier.

He didn't want anything now except to kill as many Void Ancient Dragons as he could.

Zi Yan hid behind Ling Yuan somewhat fearfully, unsure of what Ling Yuan would choose.

She was uncertain of her own weight in Ling Yuan's heart.

Even she felt that this Cultivation Technique was very powerful after hearing about it.

She was thinking: would Ling Yuan strike and kill her for the sake of that powerful Cultivation Technique?

Zi Yan tightly grasped Ling Yuan's hand, looking up with misty eyes and shaking her head frantically: "Ling Yuan..."
