Spirit Flaw and Qiankun Demon Heavenly Ring

"The woman's words made Jun Lin Tian inexplicably nervous, especially when he noticed the venomous snake lurking nearby. His brows furrowed tightly.

'Clan Chief, it's normal to encounter people around here. Let's focus on finding what we need,' she said.

'What do you know? Kindness invites exploitation! If someone is secretly tracking us, our secrets will be exposed. They're all a bunch of useless people, especially Luo Ruofei. He couldn't even kill Su Zimo, who just entered the Holy Profound Realm. It forces the Clan Chief to personally come to the Witch Clan and find a way to deal with Su Zimo.'

'Clan Chief, Luo Ruofei doesn't appreciate your kindness. He failed the mission and now he's dead. Yet, you didn't take it out on his family. You've done everything you could,' the person said, with a touch of flattery.

Jun Lin Tian lowered his gaze, trying to get a clear view of the woman's face. However, she remained with her back turned to him, only revealing her silhouette. Did they have a grudge against Su Zimo?

Jun Lin Tian sneered inwardly. Wherever she went, she seemed to make enemies.

With his newfound confidence in life, he believed that with strength, he could pursue what he wanted, do what he wanted, and love whom he desired. Dreams might be temporarily unattainable, but having dreams would drive him to strive.

Just as Jun Lin Tian was lost in thought, the two women under the big tree had disappeared.

As Jun Lin Tian was about to proceed, a sinister black object suddenly attacked.

Jun Lin Tian's eyes narrowed, and he swiftly dodged the attack. The venomous snake's poison spurted out but landed precisely on the tree trunk where Jun Lin Tian had been moments ago.

Seeing the black creature launching another assault, Jun Lin Tian leaped into the air, channeling his profound energy into his hand, and fiercely struck the snake's vulnerable spot. It was as if he was sweeping away an army, all happening in an instant. A black light flashed, and the snake's head was sent flying.

The snake's body gradually loosened its grip on the tree trunk and fell to the ground.

Jun Lin Tian landed swiftly, disdainfully glancing at the struggling black creature.

Suddenly, Jun Lin Tian noticed the serpent's belly slowly swelling.

The more Jun Lin Tian looked, the more intrigued he became. Concentrating his energy, he lightly traced a line across the snake's abdomen. A black bead rolled out, devoid of any impurities, reflecting a crystalline luster.

"Master, this is the Black Shatter Barrier Bead. Master, you should consume it quickly. The venomous attack earlier was likely related to this Black Shatter Barrier Bead, which the snake accidentally swallowed."

Since entering into a contract with Ling Xia, Jun Lin Tian and Ling Xia shared the same thoughts and could communicate at any time.

"What is the Black Shatter Barrier Bead?" Jun Lin Tian asked, puzzled.

"Master, once you consume this Black Shatter Barrier Bead, you can set up barrier formations anywhere. It's difficult to break through these barriers. This bead is fated to be yours and corresponds to the cultivation system you practice."

Upon hearing this, Jun Lin Tian picked up the bead between two fingers, feeling a slight sting. A drop of blood fell into the Black Shatter Barrier Bead, and it immediately flew into Jun Lin Tian's body.

"Master, quickly stabilize yourself and merge with the Black Shatter Barrier Bead," Ling Xia exclaimed with excitement.

Jun Lin Tian settled into a cross-legged position, directing his profound energy into the bead with utmost concentration. He sensed a continuous flow of profound energy emanating from the bead, and his eyes lit up. The Black Shatter Barrier Bead could release profound energy and rapidly integrate it with the energy inside him, forming a more powerful force.

"Master, you can try setting up a barrier formation. With your intention, it will form quickly, instantly trapping enemies stronger than you," Ling Xia said, filled with excitement.

"We'll try it another day. For now, let's go and search for the Chaos Qi," Jun Lin Tian stood up. The Witch Mountain was fraught with danger, and he couldn't afford to be careless.

"That's fine! Master, once you combine with the Chaos Qi, your advancement to the Fifth Stage of the Holy Profound Realm will be within reach."

Jun Lin Tian smirked coldly. He desired more than just reaching the Fifth Stage of the Holy Profound Realm. He aimed to surpass Mu Yunxuan, the only person he currently wanted to surpass.

He was now in a different class from Mu Yunxuan, and executing his plans would be difficult.

Meanwhile, after Su Zimo and Mu Yunxuan finished their morning meal, they continued their research on how to reveal the words on the cinnabar paper.

"Yunxuan, it may require a specific opportunity or method. Why don't we visit Qianfeng Mountain tonight?" Su Zimo suggested.

"Meng'er, you're still injured..."

"Yunxuan, my injuries are only superficial. Don't worry, nothing will happen," Su Zimo reassured him softly, gazing at him with affectionate eyes. During this period, she witnessed his growth - from a cold and heartless person to someone who was gentle and able to let go of many things. He was now capable of seeing the world with kindness."

"You decide, Mo'er. Do whatever you feel is appropriate," Su Zimo said.

"Knock, knock!"

A knocking sound came from outside the door.

"Come in," Su Zimo called out.

Qingfeng entered with quick strides, appearing somewhat unstable. He said, "Holy Lord, Madam, we have found Jun Lin Tian's whereabouts. He is currently in the Weiku City. One of our undercover guards spotted him leaving his residence today, but he disappeared halfway, and it seems that Yu Wang is with him."

After listening, Mu Yunxuan furrowed his brows. What could Jun Lin Tian be doing here all of a sudden? According to reason, he should still be mourning for Yao Guifei.

"Ever since Jun Lin Tian returned from the Nonguishan, he has become extremely strange. Puda mentioned that he often cultivates at night, practicing throughout the entire night. Judging from Jun Lin Tian's solo expedition to the Yun City, his cultivation has been rapidly advancing. Puda discovered that Jun Lin Tian seems to have obtained a bead and a ring. Jun Lin Tian keeps silent about these two treasures, and Puda hasn't found any more useful information," Qingfeng explained.

Su Zimo frowned. She strongly felt that Jun Lin Tian had changed, and he was about to get married soon. How could he find time to come to Weiku City? There must be something he wanted in this city.

"Keep a close eye on him, and also, accelerate the search for information about the missing men and women," Su Zimo instructed.

"Yes, Holy Lord," Qingfeng replied and left the room.

Mu Yunxuan lowered his gaze, thinking about the bead and the ring. When he fought against Jun Lin Tian last time, there was a chilling aura emanating from him, and his moves were treacherous. If he were to judge based on the aura, could it be the Ling Xia and Qiankun Demon Heaven Ring?

"Mo'er, judging from Jun Lin Tian's aura, the two treasures he accidentally obtained could possibly be the Ling Xia and Qiankun Demon Heaven Ring," Mu Yunxuan voiced his doubts.

"I've heard you say that Ling Xia and Qiankun Demon Heaven Ring are extremely wicked artifacts," Su Zimo expressed her disbelief. How could that scumbag Jun Lin Tian have such good luck?

"That's right, they are the most evil artifacts in the world. They complement each other, and after forming a contract with Ling Xia, the contract holder can establish a deep connection with it. The Qiankun Demon Heaven Ring can devour the cultivation of the opponent in battle and continuously provide the contract holder with a steady stream of profound energy, assisting in rapid advancement. Although the contract holder can achieve rapid progress in a short time, their killing power is not particularly strong. Judging from Jun Lin Tian's behavior, he might be here for the Chaos Qi in the Witch Mountain," Mu Yunxuan explained, feeling increasingly worried. If the bead and the ring in Jun Lin Tian's hands were indeed Ling Xia and Qiankun Demon Heaven Ring, it would cause great chaos in the world.

"What does the Chaos Qi in the Witch Mountain mean?" Su Zimo asked, confused. She had heard of the Witch Mountain before, but what did it have to do with Jun Lin Tian's cultivation?

"Mother, it's significant!," Su Li entered the room at this moment, his steps steady and composed.

"Li'er, do you know about the Witch Mountain?" Su Zimo asked in astonishment. She knew about the Eight Great Profound Artifacts, but she had never seriously delved into the knowledge of those wicked artifacts.

"Mother, Father, my master once told us about the Ling Xia and Qiankun Demon Heaven Ring," Su Li explained.

"If he told you, why didn't I know?" Su Zimo looked at her son with a strange expression. Was she someone who turned a deaf ear to the outside world? Why did Bai Qingjun, that old monster, leave her out?

"Mother, during our time in the Mingyue Valley, whenever Master couldn't sleep while taking care of Li'er and Qier, he would tell us these stories. Li'er and Qier listened to them repeatedly, so naturally, they remember," Su Li replied.

"That's right. You cried the most when you were young, but as you grew up, you became the most well-behaved," Su Zimo said with a hint of guilt flashing across her face. She didn't know why her son wasn't well-behaved. She couldn't remember anymore.

"In that case, Li'er, why don't you tell your mother the story of Ling Xia and Qiankun Demon Heaven Ring?" Mu Yunxuan stood up, carrying Su Li and settling him on his lap.

Su Li nodded and began, "Mother, the Ling Xia and Qiankun Demon Heaven Ring were not originally evil artifacts. They were even more powerful than the Eight Great Profound Artifacts. The person who possessed these two artifacts was Long Ling, the clan leader of the Mutazu. In the Mutazu tribe, the original Ling Xia and Qiankun Demon Heaven Ring were sacred treasures. However, a traitor appeared in the Mutazu tribe, taking away the sacred treasures and fleeing. During the pursuit by the Mutazu tribe, the person who took the treasures fell into the mountain range of the Evil Spirit Demons. Ling Xia and Qiankun Demon Heaven Ring absorbed all the malevolent aura of the Evil Spirit Demons, overshadowing their original benevolent nature and becoming even more powerful. The first person to obtain Ling Xia and Qiankun Demon Heaven Ring was a man named Qiu Tianba. He was an unscrupulous person who accidentally came into possession of the artifacts. Ling Xia and Qiankun Demon Heaven Ring chose him as their master."
