Xia Ming nodded solemnly, his tone filled with unquestionable certainty: "Of course it's true. Not only that, if you can subdue those ancient sacred runes in the array diagram stele and use the power of the sacred runes to drive the attack, you will be able to easily kill the likes of Wang Jing and Wang Tuo without needing any external force."
"That terrifying?!"
Ling Xiao was deeply shocked.
He clearly remembered that when he defeated Wang Jing and Wang Tuo, it was entirely thanks to the zither music left by Yue Nu that he managed to win, which took a lot of effort.
Now Xia Ming says that the sacred runes in this array can do just that, and their power far exceeds his expectations.
Xia Ming's expression grew increasingly serious, and his tone became solemn: "This Sumeru Array Diagram is extraordinary to begin with, and the Sacred Runes are its core power, which is naturally terrifying. But there is one thing you must remember: the prerequisite is that you must have the ability to subdue those Sacred Runes."
Ling Xiao quickly asked, "How do I subdue it? Please enlighten me, Miss Xia Ming."
Xia Ming said no more, turned around and said, "Come with me, I'll take you to see those holy runes."
With that, she moved swiftly, stepping into the Sumeru Array Diagram first. Ling Xiao followed closely behind, his figure flashing as he entered this mysterious little world.
Upon entering the Sumeru World, Ling Xiao couldn't help but look around curiously.
Here, the mountains are majestic, the rivers are rushing, the vegetation is lush, and the sun, moon, and stars hang high in the sky, just like the real world.
What is most astonishing is that, whether it is the mountain ranges, the rushing rivers, or the growing vegetation, there are all faintly obscure and incomprehensible ancient sacred runes. Each sacred rune exudes a majestic aura and contains terrifying power.
Xia Ming stopped and turned to give instructions:
"Concentrate your mind and sense those sacred runes. Remember, be polite and do not be negligent. These sacred runes have all developed their own spirituality, are unruly, and are extremely difficult to subdue."
"You have to lower your stance and treat them sincerely. Don't act like a superior. Otherwise, they will only become more hostile towards you and may even turn against you."
Before he finished speaking, an ancient, dark red holy rune suddenly floated out from the distant mountains, as if it had come to life, and flew straight to Ling Xiao.
It showed no hostility whatsoever. Instead, it gently landed in Ling Xiao's palm and lightly rubbed its lines against his fingertips, as docile as a tamed cat. The lines shimmered with a hint of ingratiation.
Xia Ming stood to the side, instantly frozen, and fell silent.
She originally thought that Ling Xiao would have to put in a lot of effort to subdue the sacred runes, and might even encounter a backlash from them. However, she never expected that the first sacred rune would be so docile and cooperative, which was completely beyond her expectations.
Ling Xiao sat cross-legged, calmed his mind, and focused all his thoughts into his body, gazing intently at the mysterious, nameless holy mark in his palm.
This sacred rune was dark red, with intricate and profound patterns, as if it contained the great Dao of Heaven and Earth. At this moment, it was trembling slightly, and through the connection of mind and spirit, it was vaguely conveying a sense of closeness and flattery to him.
Ling Xiao's doubts grew stronger. Saint runes of this rank could not be condensed by ordinary experts. Only top experts at the True Return level or above could leave behind such saint runes containing the power of the Great Dao.
Given his current cultivation level as a lower-level master, it would be impossible for him to make such a holy rune submit willingly. Why would it so obediently acknowledge him as its master?
"Miss Xia Ming," Ling Xiao asked, a thought flashing through his mind, "what exactly is going on? Why is this sacred rune taking the initiative to approach me?"
Xia Ming stared at the dark red holy rune, remaining silent for a long time before slowly speaking, his tone tinged with solemnity and contemplation:
"Anyone capable of condensing a Saint Rune of such a rank must be at least a powerful being at the Returning to Truth Realm or above. With your current strength, let alone subduing it, you would find it difficult to even get close to such a Saint Rune, let alone make it submit willingly."
"Then why is this happening?" Ling Xiao pressed, his doubts deepening.
“There are only two possibilities,” Xia Ming said in a deep voice, his tone firm. “One is Senior Hong Qi, and the other is Lady Yue Nu.”
Ling Xiao was startled, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes, before he fell into deep thought.
"The Lord of the Silent Court must have gone to see them before."
Xia Ming continued, "You can probably guess the result. He was defeated by Senior Hong Qi or Lady Yue Nu. This holy rune was snatched from the Lord of the Silent Court and then given to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a warm feeling welled up in Ling Xiao's heart. Then, the warmth transformed into deep guilt and gratitude, spreading throughout his heart.
Grandpa Hong Qi has protected him since he was young. No matter how great the danger or how powerful the enemy, Grandpa will always stand up for him and shield him from the wind and rain. Several times, Grandpa risked his life to save him.
He was also given the powerful assistance of the four sisters, Chunxiao, Xiaming, and others.
As for Yue Nu, she is his wife, who has saved him several times. Not only that, but now, for his sake, she is willing to offend a top expert from beyond the realm, such as the Lord of the Silent Court, to help him seize the sacred runes and pave the way for him.
"Whether it's what my grandfather did for me or what Senior Moon Maiden sacrificed for me, I will repay her in this life and the next!"
Ling Xiao slowly clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, and a look of unwavering determination flashed in his eyes, a determination that concealed gratitude.
He also harbors a determination to protect; he will never let their sacrifices down, he will become stronger, protect those around him, and safeguard the Realm of Annihilation.
Xia Ming was silent for a moment. Seeing that Ling Xiao's emotions were gradually calming down, he changed the subject and said, "Don't think about these things for now. Let's try out the power of this holy rune so that you can understand just how much help it can bring you."
Ling Xiao nodded slowly, composed himself, suppressed his emotions, and with a thought, the nameless holy mark in his palm suddenly burst out from his body and hovered in front of him!
boom!!!
A dark red light exploded instantly, like a volcanic eruption, and the space within a radius of tens of thousands of feet around Lingxiao collapsed with a roar!
The void shattered, and chaotic energy surged forth, unleashing a terrifying energy storm that swept in all directions. Wherever it passed, even the mountains and rivers of the Sumeru World were torn apart and devoured, its power overwhelming!
Ling Xiao's pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes filled with shock. The power of this attack far exceeded his strongest attack to date, and was even several times stronger than his full-force attack after advancing to the lower-level Lord realm. It was simply terrifyingly absurd!
The dark red holy rune circled in the air once, as if showing off its power, before slowly flying back and disappearing back into Ling Xiao's body. The obsequious intent it conveyed through his mind grew stronger, as if it were asking for credit.
"Good stuff." Xia Ming rarely praised it, his tone carrying a hint of approval. "Try incorporating it into your attacks and see if you can unleash even greater power."
Ling Xiao pondered for a moment, then, without further hesitation, drew the Bloodthirsty Blade.
The blade was entirely blood red, exuding a menacing aura. It was his most reliable weapon, having accompanied him in battle for many years and slain countless powerful enemies.
