Chapter 119: Shocked

  Lei Dong remained still, floating in mid-air with his eyes closed and his mind focused. Suddenly, a ripple appeared in his mind, causing his Benming artifact to tremble slightly. Lei Dong had been cultivating for 15 years and had used the Heart Blood Sacrifice technique to refine two of his Benming artifacts. One was the Jiemie Fa Lun, passed down by his master, which was an extreme-grade artifact that surpassed ordinary extreme-grade artifacts in power. Lei Dong had refined it into one of his Benming artifacts using the Heart Blood Sacrifice technique. So far, the Jiemie Fa Lun had helped him achieve many victories, including beheading Bai Li and destroying Chang'an.

  The second is the mysterious Soul Devouring Tower, which is the most important thing for Lei Dong. The reason why Lei Dong went to great lengths to refine the Blood Sacrifice Technique to sacrifice the Soul Devouring Tower is that he values a special function of his destined artifact that is different from other artifacts. That is, the destined artifact can be stored in the body's divine soul using a mysterious technique, so that it can be nourished and tempered by one's own divine soul at all times, gradually increasing its power and harmony with one's own mind.

  Lei Dong didn't expect the Soul Devouring Tower to have its power increased, because it originally didn't have much power. However, being able to store it within his body could greatly increase the tower's safety. This was also something he thought of after being forced to search through his storage bag by Gui Jie. At that time, he had made preparations beforehand and hid the Soul Devouring Tower away. Of course, this didn't mean that just because someone searched through his storage bag, they would be able to discover the tower's uses. Nor did it mean that anyone could casually come and search through Lei Dong's storage ring and such.

  Only Lei Dong does things, and he is careful to avoid exposing his greatest secrets. Any factors that could potentially reveal them are suppressed as much as possible. Especially when one's status is higher, if a "Nurturing Soul Tower" that is broken and unremarkable is placed in the storage ring, it becomes even more eye-catching.

  Thus, the Soul-Devouring Tower became Lei Dong's destined magic weapon. Although he never went out of his way to cultivate and refine it, this destined magic weapon was still hidden within his divine soul.

  Lei Dong only noticed slightly, and found that it was the Soul-Devouring Tower that was trembling slightly. However, Lei Dong had never experienced this before, and felt a bit strange. But as his mind turned rapidly, he thought of a certain possibility. Could it be that something related to the broken Soul-Devouring Tower had appeared?

  In an instant, Lei Dong's eyes narrowed as he gazed downward like a hawk, trying to see who it was that had something on them that interested the Soul Devouring Tower. Moreover, Lei Dong paid extra attention to whether or not anyone else could sense the existence of the Soul Devouring Tower.

  Lei Dong counted and found that there were thirty-two onlookers in the field. Among them, eight were at the Foundation Building stage, and the rest were at the Qi Refining stage. After a brief observation, he didn't find anyone looking around. However, among those eight Foundation Building cultivators, the youngest one also showed some signs of aging, unlike the young Foundation Building cultivators often seen in the Yin Sect.

  Two groups of people, one with three and the other with four, were engaged in a heated argument. The first two individuals, both with white hair and beards, looked like they had some elegance and refinement, reminiscent of legendary old immortals. Unfortunately, at this moment, they seemed more like two commoners shouting insults at each other, their dignity nowhere to be seen. Their followers, who appeared to be their children or disciples, also stood facing each other, glaring at the opposing side with hostile eyes.

  Lei Dong also vaguely understood why they wanted to quarrel, because when the Yin Xiao Sect entertained various sects and factions, they should not put enemies in the same range. Otherwise, that would be purely looking for trouble. On the contrary, they would arrange forces with relatively good relationships in the same area.

  Judging from the content of their argument, these two quarreling old men are from neighboring immortal families in the same country. Because they didn't know that their ancestors were fellow disciples in the Yin Xie Sect many generations ago and had a very good relationship, almost to the point of being inseparable. As a result, the two families have been on good terms for generations, supporting each other. However, recently it seems that during a joint exploration of an ancient immortal ruin, they fell out with each other due to uneven distribution of benefits.

  Actually, Lei Dong didn't bother to care about their trivial matters. What's most important was that he wanted to know who had something on them that could pique the interest of the Soul Devouring Tower. After all, Lei Dong's own Soul Devouring Tower was a heaven-defying object. Anything that could resonate with it, even if it didn't have anything to do with the Soul Devouring Tower, would absolutely not be something simple.

  Isn't it what they excavated from the ruins?

  In the midst of their heated argument, the two old men became more and more agitated, each pulling out an extraordinary mid-grade spiritual artifact. It seemed as though they were about to come to blows on the spot. Who knows whether these mid-grade spiritual artifacts had been passed down from their ancestors or were something they had managed to scrape together themselves?

  No matter whether it was the current responsibility or the object that triggered the Soul Tower's fluctuation, Lei Dong didn't want things to get out of control. Seeing them activating their spiritual devices, Lei Dong, who was floating in mid-air, let out a cold hum with a gloomy expression.

  A sense of desolation fills the air.

  The Dharma Wheel of Extinction, carrying a hint of desolate blue, rapidly rotated and flew, growing larger with each transformation. In the blink of an eye, it had formed into a several-meter-diameter fiercely rotating wheel, wailing incessantly with wave after wave of sorrowful and mournful cries that moved people to tears.

  Hiss... Boom...

  Those two old foundation-building cultivators, who were also experienced and had quick reflexes. Relying on their intuition, they sensed the sudden appearance of that green wheel's fierce killing intent and didn't dare to harden it. Their feet rapidly tapped the ground as they explosively retreated backwards, and at the same time, a faint yellow light shield burst forth from their bodies. Apparently, neither their movement techniques nor their defensive light shields were techniques of the Yin Sect.

  This is also the rule of the Yin Family, whoever returns to establish a Xian family can use the Yin Family's spells for themselves, but they must never pass on the Yin Family's spells. However, they can teach the skills and techniques that they have collected or created by themselves, which do not belong to the Yin Family. Once violated, the consequences of the Yin Family's punishment are imaginable.

  It is precisely because of this that the immortal families, whether they are cultivating heart methods or other techniques, are far inferior to the formal practitioners of the Yin Xie Sect.

  Lei Dong had thought about creating his own magic in these years, but he quickly gave up. The Yin Evil Sect has such a long history and has been passed down to this day. I don't know how many shocking talents have emerged, one generation after another of strong and powerful people who have continuously improved and polished the cultivation methods and techniques of the Yin Evil Sect. The magic that can be passed down to this day without being eliminated must be tested and proven.

  It's possible that some of the greats might have created their own techniques, but newly created techniques, without having gone through a long period of refinement and revision, and being tempered by generations of people, are absolutely impossible to surpass the current systems. Lei Dong only felt that if he were to try to create his own technique now, it would be utterly foolish.

  The wheel of extinction fell, whistling, and heavily struck the bluestone ground.

  As if cutting tofu, it easily slipped into the bluestone and left a ditch several meters wide and of unknown depth.

  Everyone looked up at the mysterious figure shrouded in dark mist with their eyes wide open. Especially the two old Jiedi tribe leaders, whose faces were uncertain and somewhat frightened as they gazed at the thunder in the sky. Through the black mist, it could be vaguely seen that he should be a Xinyue Sect cultivator or a Jiedi cultivator. However, was that wheel-shaped spiritual artifact just now of high quality? Its power was truly chilling.

  With a flick of his wrist, the Wheel of Silence slipped into the ground and then emerged again, returning to the center of his palm.

  "Are you here to congratulate Lord Tianmo or cause trouble?" If it were those Foundation Building cultivators from below, Lei Dong would have no choice but to accept his fate. But this was his own territory, and these people were all minor characters from the Yin Xie Sect's affiliated factions - how could he show weakness? His voice was cold and overbearing: "Whoever dares to make another move, don't blame me for adding another ghostly soul under my Dharmachakra."
