Swallowing the Stars: Heart of the Martial God

Chapter 66 An Invitation from the Temple of Immortality

Returning to his cave, Ling Xuan resumed his secluded cultivation.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye, and Ling Xuan has successfully fused with the fourth Blood Crystal.

"Looks like I'll have to spend a lot of time fusing ten Blood Crystals." Ling Xuan got up and stretched.

"Master, Puff has detected a group of World Lord-level experts approaching." Puff suddenly reported, showing Ling Xuan a radar-like image of the approaching group.

The Crimson Flame Dragon King is a top-tier F9-class spaceship provided to Ling Xuan by the Candle Dragon Clan. All its configurations are top-of-the-line, designed to ensure that Ling Xuan would not suffer from information disadvantages when exploring various secret realms.

It can even meet his needs in battlefields outside the region.

Ling Xuan was a great treasure that the Candle Dragon Clan had waited for for trillions of eons. The entire clan was extremely nervous, fearing that he might perish at any moment.

However, the path to becoming a strong person cannot be solely about seclusion and arduous training; therefore, we can only provide him with as many life-saving items as possible.

Seven red dots appeared on the virtual screen, rapidly moving around a location several hundred miles away from his cave. One of the red dots was exceptionally large, a whole size larger than the others.

"What is this?" Ling Xuan asked curiously.

"The one in the lead is at the peak of the Realm Lord level, while the rest are all around the early stage (first three levels) of the Realm Lord level," Puff explained.

"Yes, keep a close watch on their movements, especially around Li Shuang and the others. If there are any unusual movements or they get too close, be sure to notify me immediately," Ling Xuan instructed.

"Don't worry, Master, Puff is keeping an eye on things for you. The Crimson Flame Dragon King has the most advanced detectors humans have ever used, far more advanced than these natives' detectors." Puff tilted her little face up and confidently patted her full breasts.

A month later, Puff woke Ling Xuan from his cultivation.

"Master, these people are gradually approaching this area, and they are only 300,000 kilometers away. Should we evacuate?" Puff reported.

"It's been a month, and we're still here?" Ling Xuan wondered. "Could there be something good around here?"

"No, it's possible they're looking for me. What kind of temple envoy was that thunderstorm? Could it be that he's carrying out some important mission and suddenly disappeared in the ancient god ruins for a whole year, so he's started searching for me in this area?"

Otherwise, no one would care if a realm lord were to go missing for ten thousand years, let alone a year.

While speculating, Ling Xuan observed the movements of the Realm Lord team. "Puff has compiled all their movements over the past month."

Puff immediately compiled the movements of this Realm Lord team over the past month into a map as requested.

"Master, these people are indeed looking for something in the vicinity." Puff's analysis of their movements shows that this Realm Lord's team has been circling around the area for the past month, looking like they'd dig three feet into the ground to find something.

Just as Ling Xuan was pondering a countermeasure, the detector detected that the Realm Lord's team had arrived at the place where they had previously fought for the Immortal Divine Armor.

The team consisted of seven people, with the leader's figure obscured by a red robe, making it impossible to discern his face.

A red-robed realm lord looked at the traces of battle around him and said, "What an idiot! He dared to fight with others while carrying out such an important mission."

"Our opponents are a world-class expert in the laws of fire and a world-class expert in the laws of light," several men in black robes analyzed the traces of battle around them.

"Can you confirm the killer's whereabouts?" the red-robed realm lord asked.

"It will take a little more time, but it can be roughly determined that the Thunderstorm Envoy first fought with a world-class being of the Law of Light, and finally succeeded in killing the opponent. However, he was then ambushed by that world-class being of the Law of Fire and was chased all the way to a place three thousand kilometers away where he was killed."

"In a place like the Ruins of the Ancient Gods, fighting to the death without even noticing nearby opponents, it's one thing to die, such a fool doesn't deserve to die, but causing the mission to fail is a crime deserving of death."

"Send out and search the surroundings carefully. Maintain constant contact. The opponent is very likely a world-class peak expert who has been living in seclusion nearby and was suddenly attacked after being disturbed by the battle between the Thunderstorm and the Light Realm Lord."

"Yes." The seven realm lords immediately scattered.

With the spread of the World Lord's power, its detection capabilities were extremely strong, and it searched extensively around the area following the traces of the battle.

"Master, one of them is getting closer." A red dot on the virtual screen was approaching Ling Xuan's cave at an extremely fast speed.

"Looks like they've discovered my trail." But Ling Xuan wasn't worried at all. Putting aside the fact that they might not be after him, even if they were, he wasn't afraid.

I simply sat comfortably in the cave and let Puff remove her signal shield.

The black-robed realm lord's search quickly reached the vicinity of Lingxuan's cave.

"Cloud-level?" The black-robed world lord noticed Ling Xuan, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "For a Cloud-level being to be able to come here, what kind of powerful willpower must he have if he were conscious? He might even become a legendary Black Warrior."

“Go and see. If he is a practitioner of asceticism, guiding him back to the temple for further training would be a great achievement.”

The black-robed realm lord landed in front of Ling Xuan's cave and gently knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Ling Xuan was also puzzled. This Realm Lord was so polite. If it were that bastard Cao Benqi, he would have kicked the door open long ago.

"I am an inspector of the Immortal Temple, little fellow, open the door and let me know." The black-robed world lord, hearing Ling Xuan's cold voice, showed no sign of madness and introduced himself with a smile.

Ling Xuan collected some items with cosmic human characteristics into his own Sea of ​​Bitterness and hid them away, then opened the door.

"I've met my lord."

"Hmm, little guy, you're quite good. You're only at the peak of the Cloud Realm, yet you've managed to come here to cultivate. How many Blood Crystals have you fused with so far?"

Ling Xuan was taken aback, then realized that it was another case of investing in and cultivating geniuses.

This realm lord was unaware that he was a human from the universe. Seeing that his talent was quite good, he was very enthusiastic and polite.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, I have fused four Blood Crystals," Ling Xuan said.

Upon hearing this, the black-robed world lord's smile widened. To become a Blood Warrior at the Cloud Realm level was truly exceptional. With proper nurturing, he could definitely become a legendary Black Warrior, a genius that appears only once every billion years on the Blood Luo Continent. "Quickly demonstrate your Blood Luo Power."

Ling Xuan activated the power of Blood Luo as instructed, and some blood-colored secret patterns condensed on his chest.

"As expected, you've fused four." The black-robed realm lord chuckled. "Do you have a master or a powerful faction?"

"I have wandered for half my life, yet I have never joined any faction," Ling Xuan replied.

"Then would you be willing to return to the Immortal Temple with me? With your talent, you will definitely receive personal training from the Temple Master," said the black-robed Realm Lord.

"This junior is willing." A hint of joy appeared on Ling Xuan's face. Who knows what good things are in that Immortal Temple?
If you're lucky, you might be able to bring back a few Beast God statues. You can give them to someone who needs them if you don't need them yourself, or you can exchange them for points, which is also a good idea.

Ling Xuan knew that the Beast God statue in the Blood Luo World possessed the essence of a Beast God, and at an extremely high level. If there were any powerful individuals who followed the Golden Void Beast God Path, they would definitely be willing to spend a large sum of money to buy it.

"Good, good, good." The black-robed world lord could hardly hide his joy. Bringing a genius like Ling Xuan into the Immortal Temple would earn him contribution points no less than completing the mission before the thunderstorm.

Thunderstorms can kill people, while I can complete the task simply by talking.

"By the way, you've been cultivating in this area. Have you noticed the battle that took place here a year ago?" The black-robed realm master thought that since Ling Xuan was nearby, he might have some clues.

"Your Excellency, a tremendous battle did indeed take place a year ago, but I am too weak to approach."

Upon hearing this, the black-robed realm lord nodded. It was normal for a Cloud-level expert not to dare to approach a battle at the pinnacle of world-class level.

"You continue cultivating here. I have a mission to complete. I'll come back to take you with me when I return to the temple," said the black-robed world lord.

"Yes, sir," Ling Xuan replied respectfully.

"By the way, what's your name?"

“Oh, I am Cao Benqi,” Ling Xuan replied without hesitation.
