Hearing Ye Ling's words, Zhang Xiao Ling was stunned for a long time before he reacted, then burst into laughter, "Hahaha! As expected of the person my father and Uncle Xie praise so highly, to have such ambition. My perspective was too narrow!"
"My game of chess was lost deservedly!"
Zhang Xiao Ling had initially thought that Ye Ling seeking breakthroughs in the Origin Upper Realm was already a display of immense courage!
After all, Ye Ling's current strength was only second to Shan E. Even if he didn't go to the Origin Upper Realm, he could roam freely across countless time and space, unbound by the suffering of reincarnation.
However, Zhang Xiao Ling hadn't expected that Ye Ling would not only agree to go to the Origin Upper Realm without hesitation but also attempt to seize the Seed of Origin there!
This was something even the supreme powerhouses of the Origin Upper Realm dared not attempt!
More importantly, Zhang Xiao Ling knew Ye Ling very well, knowing that Ye Ling was not someone who just talked the talk and never walked the walk.
If Ye Ling said it, he would surely do it!
After laughing heartily, Zhang Xiao Ling smiled at Ye Ling and said, "Ye Ling, although you are already outstanding, arguably the most powerful cultivated in our endless reincarnation, to be honest... I didn't believe you could survive in the Origin Upper Realm before. But now... I have a sudden premonition."
"When you arrive in the Origin Upper Realm, you will shock those old fellows!"
The World Extinguishing Spirit Fire, however, snorted, "Hmph! Ye Ling is the person I have my eyes on, do you think I'm joking? Don't worry, when we go to the Origin Upper Realm, I'll take down supreme powerhouses with a single punch!"
Zhang Xiao Ling smiled at the World Extinguishing Spirit Fire and said, "Then I look forward to your performance."
Seeing Zhang Xiao Ling suddenly speak to him, the World Extinguishing Spirit Fire was taken aback and asked in surprise, "You, you can hear me speak?"
Zhang Xiao Ling narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I've been able to hear you from the very beginning."
Upon hearing Zhang Xiao Ling's reply, the World Extinguishing Spirit Fire's face turned green, wishing it could find a hole to crawl into!
Seeing the World Extinguishing Spirit Fire's embarrassed demeanor, Ye Ling merely shook his head and smiled, then asked Zhang Xiao Ling, "Do you know the method to reach the Origin Upper Realm?"
Zhang Xiao Ling smiled and said, "I do, but I don't want to tell you."
The World Extinguishing Spirit Fire angrily retorted, "Are you crazy? You know and you won't tell us, isn't this a waste of time?"
Zhang Xiao Ling said, "The Origin Upper Realm is far more dangerous than the Chaos Battlefield, and what you intend to do there, Ye Ling, is the pinnacle of danger. Compared to your ambitions, finding the method to reach the Origin Upper Realm within the Chaos Battlefield is simpler than a beginner's tutorial."
"If you can't even pass this hurdle, then there's no need to continue."
Ye Ling covered the World Extinguishing Spirit Fire, which was about to speak again, and said to Zhang Xiao Ling, "Yes, regarding the method to reach the Origin Upper Realm, I will explore it myself. If there's nothing else, I will depart for the Chaos Battlefield now."
Zhang Xiao Ling said, "Wait, before you depart for the Chaos Battlefield, go to the Chaos God Clan. My father left you a small gift there. I wanted to give it to you last time you were here, but it was disrupted by the Seven Star Pillars sent by the Lord of the Upper Realm. Go there now, that gift is perfect for you."
"Oh?" Ye Ling smiled slightly, "Hearing you say that, I'm quite looking forward to it."
Zhang Xiao Ling smiled and said, "Good luck, Ye Ling... I also need to continue cultivating new chosen ones. I hope that when we meet again, your strength will far surpass mine!"
As his voice faded, a gust of wind blew, and Zhang Xiao Ling, along with Taohua, vanished into the heavens and earth.
After watching Zhang Xiao Ling depart, Ye Ling released Bu Zhi Shi and the others, saying to them, "This is the main timeline I reside in. You are free to roam within and outside its domain. There are countless creation inheritances here; find your own opportunities."
Bu Zhi Shi and the others also realized that it was time to part ways. They no longer insisted on following Ye Ling and bowed to him, saying, "Thank you, sir, for bringing us to this treasure land. We bid you farewell."
Ye Ling waved his hand, "Go on!"
As Bu Zhi Shi and the others departed like a gentle breeze, Ye Ling patted the World Extinguishing Spirit Fire and said, "Let's go, World Extinguishing Spirit Fire. First, let's see what gift Shan E left us at the Chaos God Clan, and then we'll ask Can Xie to get the entrance coordinates for the Chaos Battlefield."
The World Extinguishing Spirit Fire was also filled with excitement and declared loudly, "Let's go!"
...
Outside the domain, on the continent of the Chaos God Clan, in the forbidden area.
Ye Ling landed before the forbidden area and looked at the stone gate, which was sealed by layers of enchantments, with deep emotion.
It was precisely because he had come here with Tai Yuan and Yue Qing Ning that he was entangled by the Seven Star Pillars, nearly died, and was then sent to the Nine Heavens Realm.
Ye Ling surveyed the stone gate ahead and chuckled, "Honestly, if we hadn't encountered the Seven Star Pillars and been pushed to the brink, we wouldn't have gone to the Nine Heavens Realm, nor would we have found a way to escape the attention of the Lord of the Upper Realm."
The World Extinguishing Spirit Fire grumbled, "I'm being honest too. If possible, kid, try not to get into desperate situations. You're already so strong, yet you're always facing near-death situations. If our luck were any worse, we would have died in some gutter long ago."
Ye Ling shook his head and smiled, "What could I do? With a supreme powerhouse like the Lord of the Upper Realm watching me, I had no other option but to escape."
The World Extinguishing Spirit Fire said, "That's true... But we won't have to worry about the Lord of the Upper Realm's pursuit anymore. Let's go in first and see what treasures Shan E left us! A supreme powerhouse's gift shouldn't be stingy, right?"
"Mm."
Ye Ling nodded slightly, no longer wasting time. He ignored the seals around the stone gate and passed directly through.
Inside the stone gate, there was a set of pitch-black armor, emanating a dark aura.
Soon, a ghastly face emerged from the black armor and smiled at Ye Ling, "Hehehe! I didn't expect anyone to break in here. Since you've arrived, become my food!"
The ghastly face laughed heartily, opening its gaping maw and lunging towards Ye Ling.
However, before the ghastly face could bite Ye Ling, Ye Ling casually swatted it away, scattering it. The dark aura within the entire stone cave was instantly purified, returning to complete tranquility.
The World Extinguishing Spirit Fire, watching the ghastly face dissipate, couldn't help but say, "Kid, you should have left that thing to me. After we go to the Origin Upper Realm, there will be fewer and fewer people I can bully. You don't even let me have some fun."
Ye Ling walked up to the armor and smiled, "I'll be more mindful next time."
Saying that, Ye Ling picked up the armor, and the entire set of armor turned to ash and vanished.
The place where the armor was stored cracked open, and then a heart radiating a dazzling light flew out.
Ye Ling looked at the heart suspended before him and was instantly stunned, murmuring, "So this little gift... is the Heart of the Great Dao."
