Above all spirits

Chapter 73 Behind-the-Scenes Crisis

"You mean the power of life and death that I currently possess is precisely what this person behind the scenes doesn't have?"

Hongxiu couldn't help but feel a little worried.

According to Ji Ning's description, this person seems to have started making plans decades ago, or even earlier, because no one knows when he began to inherit the Nine Revolutions Reversal Death Heart Sutra.

It is obvious that this person's cultivation level has probably already reached the Saint level.

Perhaps it's not as simple as becoming a saint.

It is highly likely that this is already the pinnacle of human achievement.

There was a terrifying person with extraordinary cultivation watching over him.

Anyone in that situation would be restless.

Ji Ning seemed to notice that Hongxiu was not in a good state, and after thinking for a moment based on Hongxiu's previous description, he comforted her.

"It's definitely true. Their judgment that they're determined to kill you is definitely correct. But you don't need to worry too much, although the other party doesn't know your identity information yet."

"Since the other party so wanted to do something in your visualized world, but ultimately failed to do so, it means that key information is definitely still missing."

"So what is the key information? It is undoubtedly your identity."

"Although the address should have been exposed by now, it shouldn't be that specific. It shouldn't be a problem to be able to read the coordinates of Canglan Star or the Canglan Empire."

Ji Ning's words of comfort did not ease Hongxiu's heavy mood.

After all, right at the start, someone who was already running the second or even third lap caught up with them.

It is extraordinary not to feel despair.

With a hint of apology.

He bowed slightly to Gu Yun.

"Young master, I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you earlier."

Gu Yun narrowed his eyes, seemingly pondering what Ji Ning had just said.

While there is some acceptance of Ji Ning's speculation, the probability of it being specifically about the Ji family in the Canglan Imperial Capital of the Canglan Empire is not high.

"It's okay, don't worry."

“I mean I won’t interfere with you, but when you encounter something that’s beyond your control, you don’t need to be so restrained.”

"If this causes difficulties, I will take action myself."

"I don't want to waste a contractor I've finally found so appealing so soon."

With Gu Yun's assurance, Hongxiu's previously anxious heart naturally settled down without any worries.

because.

As long as it's something Gu Yun says.

For her, that was already a success.

However, I still felt a little ashamed.

We actually need your help, young master.

She clearly intended to stand beside the young master on her own.

"Now this cultivation manual should be fine, right?"

"Don't worry, brother. The Blood Drawing Technique will disappear without a trace after it is triggered for a while."

Ji Ning took the manual and quickly flipped through it, seemingly testing her own claims.

"Is it?"

"Is Blood Guidance a cultivation technique or a soul technique?"

Gu Yun stretched out his hand, and Ji Ning immediately handed the cultivation manual to Gu Yun.

After thinking for a moment, he confirmed it.

"It should be a soul technique. Most detection techniques are soul techniques because the perception of the soul is more refined than that of qi."

"Methods that rely on qi to detect things generally cannot be maintained for this long."

The blood-red color in Gu Yun's eyes gradually deepened.

"Power: Soul Vision".

The white halo surrounding the two women instantly came into Gu Yun's view.

Ji Ning did not have any colored aura on his body. As his cultivation level was already at the sixth level of the Overlord Body, he had naturally learned to restrain himself.

In the dim, white light, a faint red line, seemingly tied to a page of the manual in the hand, appeared particularly glaring.

Gu Yun snorted coldly; as expected, there was still a backup plan.

Having planned this for so many years, how could it only involve these superficial methods?

The little black figure also shifted its shadowy body, cursing under its breath that it was too much of a jerk.

However, this probably doesn't have any detection function; it's likely just a small temporary marker made after triggering the Blood Draw technique.

There was a flash of golden light.

The pale pink thread quietly broke apart until it disappeared.

The red light in his eyes gradually faded.

Gu Yun handed the mental cultivation manual to Hongxiu.

"Young master, I could actually switch to a different cultivation method, that would avoid the trouble..."

Gu Yun interrupted Hongxiu's attempt to refuse, and said calmly.

"Change your cultivation method? Why would you want to change it?"

"The more you give, the more you receive."

"If this technique can truly condense the Emperor's will, it should be of great help to me in the future."

"At least you are qualified to fight the enemy I will face."

"The cultivation method is basically fine. Focus on practicing it and prepare for the entrance test for Wentian Academy in a couple of days. Don't let me down."

Hongxiu said no more, took the mental cultivation manual, and her eyes showed a strong determination.

"Yes."

Ji Ning was somewhat puzzled by this.

"Did you just realize something, brother?"

"Could it be that this old codger has a backup plan?"

Gu Yun turned around and looked coldly out the window.

"It's nothing, I'd like to see this person for myself."

"Let's take a look at the nascent form of the Emperor's Will."

...

A mansion somewhere.

A man with long black hair and a bare upper body slowly opened his eyes from meditation.

His gray-black pupils gradually became visible.

An uncontrollable chill emanated from his eyes.

The gray air currents gathered in his hand with the sound of grinding teeth.

With a sudden swing, he smashed the tables and chairs beside him.

"Damn it."

"This person actually has a powerful backer helping him."

"Just a little bit!"

"I can directly seize this wisp of life and death will."

To Gu Yun and Ji Ning's surprise.

Unexpectedly, the blood token left by this man not only allowed him to enter Hongxiu's visualization world and control the ghost hand.

It wasn't even to identify Hongxiu's face and identity; it was to directly plunder her life and death!

The man took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed his trembling anger.

murmured.

"it's okay no problem."

"It's fine as long as it exists, it's fine as long as it exists."

"call--!"

"I never imagined that the will to live and die that I lacked in the end would be like this. No wonder..."

"No wonder I have spent almost a hundred years and gone through countless life-and-death tribulations, yet I still cannot gather this wisp of life and death intent."

"A dead heart reborn, hahahaha!"

"My heart is dead!"

"How can you expect someone who has pursued the Emperor's will of life and death for a hundred years to lose heart!"

"Canglan Star?"

The man carefully sensed the location where the mark he had condensed finally dissipated.

Fortunately, he connected with his soul immediately.

He has been practicing this kind of soul connection for decades.

It was precisely because of this that he successfully seized a wisp of life and death that he had never grasped before.

The mental cultivation technique has advanced to the eighth level, reversing death.

Upon reaching the ninth level of the Sacred Body, one gains mastery of the power of life and death far exceeding that of the Emperor-level.

But he knew there was still one more layer to go.

There is no such final layer.

They will never reach the legendary imperial will.

He became the number one person below the innate level.

Moreover, even if he were born with innate talent, he might still be able to fight with the Emperor's Will.

Although he was not the founder of the Nine Revolutions Reversal Death Heart Sutra, he considered himself the strongest practitioner of the Nine Revolutions Reversal Death Heart Sutra in the world!

"Heh, so what if I have a master to help me?"

"I will slay gods if they stand in my way, and slaughter demons if they stand in my way!"

"I will find you."

"A little more time won't make a difference!"

"Please don't die."
