The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 623: Chapter 623: A Complete Set of Sky Wings

Jing Yan’s words triggered a visibly intense fluctuation in the energy of Ling Luo’s residual soul.

Clearly, his emotions were greatly agitated.

Who would want to see their descendants slaughtered to the brink of extinction? Who wouldn’t wish for their family to endure forever? He had thought the family lineage was no more, but now he had heard from Jing Yan that he had come across a female martial artist named Ling Qi.

Hope was rekindled in Ling Luo’s heart. Perhaps he still had descendants alive in the world.

”Young friend, I have a request,” Ling Luo said earnestly to Jing Yan.

”Senior, please speak. If it is within my power, I will do my utmost,” Jing Yan replied, bowing respectfully to Ling Luo.

”I would like to ask you, young friend, to find my descendants and help them rebuild the family to a certain extent so that they can take their revenge!” Ling Luo’s voice became filled with passion.

Jing Yan, however, frowned slightly.

Finding Ling Luo’s descendants wasn’t too much of an issue, he thought. If he didn’t die, he could always search for them. As long as Ling Luo’s descendants were still on the Continent, they could eventually be found.

But helping them rebuild their family and take revenge was a much more daunting task.

The enemies of the Ling family were not ordinary forces. According to Tianshui, those families were among the Seven Major Families of the current Continent.

Even if he were to become a Dao Emperor, Jing Yan did not feel confident about facing those families, let alone with his current Peak Daoist Master Realm cultivation.

Another concern was how to face the retaliation from the Gai Family once he left this cave dwelling.

Although nobody knew he had killed Gu Xinghe and Elder Yin in the short term, it was inevitable that the Gai Family would uncover the truth sooner or later with their means.

”Ah, it indeed seems to be asking too much of you,” Ling Luo sighed noticeably seeing Jing Yan’s hesitation and shook his head.

”Senior, it’s not that I’m unwilling, but you must also know my strength. I can promise to do my best, but I cannot guarantee that I will succeed,” Jing Yan said with a wry smile.

After all, he owed a debt of gratitude to Ling Luo.

His Sky Wings were Ling Luo’s creation, and he had acquired a chest of Divine Crystals in this cave dwelling.

”To hear you say that is enough,” Ling Luo’s eyes brightened, and he smiled. ”Your current strength is indeed weak, but in my eyes, you will surely possess the cultivation to dominate the Continent in the future. Hehe, didn’t that peak Dao King Realm martial artist also die by your hand?”

Jing Yan’s expression became slightly more serious.

Indeed, Ling Luo knew about his act of killing Gu Xinghe and Elder Yin.

”You needn’t worry, young friend. I was the one who fashioned this cave dwelling. I am fully aware of everything that happens here. For instance, I also know about that chest of Divine Crystals that you found.”

”That chest of Divine Crystals is not something that just anyone can acquire. Without my permission, no matter the cultivation, even a Saint Realm martial artist wouldn’t find it easy,” Ling Luo continued to speak with a smile.

”How could that be?”

”That puppet guardian...” Jing Yan stated instinctively.

He had clashed with the guardian puppet of the Divine Crystals and knew the strength of the puppet. Forget about the Saint Realm, even a Dao Emperor approaching it could probably destroy it with ease, couldn’t they?

As for Ling Luo’s residual soul, even if it knew everything that happened within the cave dwelling, it would still be difficult to strike against a martial artist, right?

”Do you doubt it?” Ling Luo continued, ”The guardian puppet of the Divine Crystals is not so simple, you see. What you encountered was only the first combat form of the puppet. This puppet, also refined by my hand, has a total of three combat forms. The first form indeed possesses the combat power of a Dao King Realm warrior. The second form, however, is comparable to that of a first-rate Dao Emperor Realm practitioner. As for the ultimate form, even a Saint Realm martial artist would be in danger in front of it.”

”Hehe, if it were not for you deploying the Sky Wings, acquiring the Divine Crystals would have been unlikely,” Ling Luo chuckled again.

At that moment, Jing Yan completely understood.

It wasn’t that the puppet had run out of energy and stopped attacking him; it was because he had used the Sky Wings.

Of course, what shocked Jing Yan even more were the three combat forms of the puppet. The ultimate form could even threaten a Saint Realm martial artist—how formidable was that?

And on the current Heavenly Origin Continent, there were no Saint Realm martial artists. This meant that even if the Gai Family exerted all their power, they probably could not acquire that chest of Divine Crystals.

”Young friend, when you used the Sky Wings, it seemed you only reached the Second Level?” Ling Luo spoke again just as Jing Yan was recovering from his surprise.

”That’s true. I’ve only found two pieces of the Sky Wings Martial Arts Stele,” Jing Yan nodded.

Jing Yan would also like to obtain more pieces of the Sky Wings Martial Arts Stele, but such things could not be found by simply wishing for them. It boiled down to fate whether they could be acquired or not.

”Alright, I will pass on the entire Sky Wings cultivation method to you. As for what level you can reach, that will depend on your own understanding,” Ling Luo seemed to consider for a moment before he spoke.

”What?” Jing Yan was taken aback.

”The complete set of Sky Wings?” Even Tianshui’s expression changed.

Compared to Jing Yan, Tianshui was more aware of how formidable the Sky Wings were.

It was rumored that the fall of the Ling family was due to the Sky Wings martial art. Those families coveted the Sky Wings of the Ling family, and when the Ling family refused to compromise and hand it over, they banded together to attack the Ling family.

”Young friend, would you like to learn it?” Ling Luo smiled.

”Yes, of course I would,” Jing Yan replied, nodding repeatedly.

The Sky Wings at just the second level were already so powerful. If he could learn the complete set, what would be the limit?

”The Sky Wings encompass seven levels. Back in the interspecies wars against the Divine, I hunted down dozens of the Divine Race, all thanks to the Sky Wings. As I deployed the Sky Wings, not even the Divine could catch up to me,” Ling Luo recollected.

”What? Hunted down dozens of the Divine Race?” Tianshui was taken aback again.

He had thought that Ling Luo had killed around ten Divine beings, but the actual number was much higher than he knew.

”Yes, precisely forty-four Divine beings. However, I sustained grave injuries in that battle.”

”Perhaps you don’t realize, I built this cave dwelling with a purpose. Before the interspecies wars concluded, no one knew the outcome. Therefore, to ensure the continuation of my family, I built this cave dwelling, planning to move the entire Ling family here in case of desperation.”

”But, human plans pale in comparison to fate. During one of my hunts for the Divine Race, I walked into an ambush where over ten Divine beings attacked me, including two High-level Divine Beings. I was gravely wounded, and my Divine Soul suffered considerable damage. With my last breath and using the Sky Wings, I barely managed to escape back to this cave dwelling, but I could no longer venture out.” Ling Luo sighed deeply.
