#342 - Chasing the rhyme
Finally, Xiaotianming Zhuiyun put aside the grudges in her heart and said to the Fallen Child, "Back then, as one of the Golden Boys and Jade Maidens, I followed my master and once dominated the world.
However, a sudden change turned everything into nothing.
Ancient demons and ancient devils joined forces to attack the Ancient Immortal Realm, causing the Immortal Sword Sect to fall apart, and my master was seriously injured and disappeared, his life or death unknown.
You and I, the Two Treasures, also suffered heavy damage in that chaotic battle. As for the specific details, I can't remember due to my severe injuries.
Time has passed, and we all have different destinies. How can we expect to restore our old friendship and return to the past?"
The Fallen Child responded sincerely, "I am saving you. If you continue to be stubborn, I can't help you.
After all, my new master is not a kind person. He kills people like flies, and his reputation is far and wide. You must have heard of Li Chengfeng's methods."
Xiaotianming Zhuiyun was shocked when she heard this, and she realized that what the Fallen Child said was true.
Although she had always looked down on Li Chengfeng, thinking that his reputation was mostly exaggerated, today's events made her suffer a big setback, as if the sacrifice of a middle-grade Fate Master was as vulnerable as a native dog in his eyes.
She shook her head and pleaded, "Can you let me think about it carefully?"
Li Chengfeng sneered, "What do you think this place is? Allowing you to do whatever you want?
Fallen Child, since he is so ungrateful, erase his intelligence and plunge his origin into the Book of Sins, so that the book can regain its former glory.
I have my own secret methods to allow him to regain his intelligence, and the effect will be the same.
I am already familiar with this kind of method."
After saying that, he cast a spell, and countless lightning tribulations instantly surged towards Xiaotianming Zhuiyun's soul.
In that dark and deep sea of consciousness, Xiaotianming Zhuiyun's heart was filled with stormy waves. She had never expected that Li Chengfeng would be so decisive, not giving her any chance to breathe.
As a wisp of spiritual body that has experienced vicissitudes, she knows that only by integrating into a magic weapon can she borrow its body and regain her former glory.
However, the person in front of her is like a lone pine standing tall in the cold wind, indifferent and resolute, allowing no hesitation.
"Wait!" Xiaotianming Zhuiyun's voice carried a hint of urgency and unwillingness. She tried to grasp the last glimmer of hope,
"I agree, I agree to be the spirit of that... Book of Sins? No, no, I mean, I am willing to become your assistant.
But the Book of Sins is no longer what it used to be. Its damaged state is even more tragic than the Fallen Copper Coin.
Back then, I sought the soul of the ancient demon, wanting to borrow its power, but unexpectedly, I was devoured by it, and my vitality was greatly damaged.
Now, even if I merge into the Book of Sins, it will be difficult to restore its former power, and the tracking technique is even more incomplete. This book is just an empty shell to me."
Speaking of this, Xiaotianming Zhuiyun's expression dimmed, but then a flash of determination flashed in her eyes, "However, I am now using a new identity as a Fate Master.
I am willing to serve my master, and use the wisdom of a Fate Master to expand the territory for my master, slay demons and eliminate evil, and jointly plan great things!"
When Li Chengfeng heard this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The smile contained both contempt for the Fate Master clan and a transcendent understanding of all things in the world.
"Fate Master? Heh, I have already seen through their essence.
They are just ants attached to the grace of evil gods, lingering on the illusory power of feedback,
They will never be able to break free from their shackles and become true powerhouses. Only by transcending this path can one freely roam between heaven and earth."
After saying that, Li Chengfeng's eyes suddenly became sharp, and an invisible murderous aura spread like cold ice, shrouding the entire sea of consciousness space.
Xiaotianming Zhuiyun couldn't help but shudder. She knew that the man in front of her had an unusually firm Dao heart, and no words could easily shake him.
"If you are willing, enter the Book of Sins. I have my own means to restore its former glory." Li Chengfeng's tone was unquestionable, revealing a kind of irresistible power.
Xiaotianming Zhuiyun's heart was filled with mixed feelings, both fear of the unknown and a desire for rebirth.
She gritted her teeth fiercely and turned her gaze to the Fallen Child beside her, only to see that the child also had a look of anxiety on his face.
He quickly persuaded, "Don't hesitate any longer. My master always keeps his word. If you don't obey, the consequences will be unimaginable."
At this moment of life and death, Xiaotianming Zhuiyun finally made up her mind.
She slowly closed her eyes, silently chanting an ancient incantation in her heart, and her figure gradually turned into a wisp of green smoke and merged into the seemingly ordinary Book of Sins.
And Li Chengfeng, quietly watching all of this, a faint look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, as if everything was under control.
As the special artistic conception inside the Book of Sins erupted, an aura mixed with sin, evil, and violent emotions suddenly overflowed.
It was as if some kind of powerful protective force was eager to move.
However, facing this sudden change, Li Chengfeng still maintained his composure and calmness. His fingers quickly pinched the magic seal, and a large formation called "Tracking Incubation Period" gradually formed in his hands.
This large formation, for Li Chengfeng, is not only a weapon in battle, but also an extension of his emotions and will.
Whenever he encounters an enemy or someone in need of help, he only needs to imprint the mark of the Tracking Incubation Period on the other party, and he can accurately sense the other party's location within the range of his divine sense.
At this moment, he did not hesitate to inject this power into the Book of Sins, causing the originally quiet book to instantly transform into a complex array of runes, shining with a mysterious light.
With the appearance of the array runes, Xiaotianming - Zhuiyun, slowly poked her head out of the Book of Sins.
She was surprised to find that she could freely shuttle through the world in the form of a spiritual body, just like the Fallen Child, and even participate in battles by integrating into magic weapons.
Looking at Li Chengfeng's appearance of skillfully manipulating the Tracking Incubation Period secret technique.
Zhuiyun's heart was filled with shock and incomprehension: "Master, you... you are actually proficient in such profound formation techniques! This Tracking Incubation Period.
It was originally the unique Ten Thousand Mile Tracking secret technique on the Book of Sins. Although its power is reduced after leaving the book, it is still an extremely precious existence.
How did you master it? This is simply God's will! With this formation, I may be able to restore more functions of the Book of Sins. Thank you, Master!"
However, Li Chengfeng did not stop because of Zhuiyun's gratitude.
He continued to cast spells, and restrictions fell on Zhuiyun's soul like drizzle.
The Rune Sealing Formation, like an invisible net, tightly bound Zhuiyun's soul.
Li Chengfeng's voice was cold and firm: "Remember, loyalty and obedience are my only requirements of you.
If you dare to have the slightest intention of betrayal, once this formation is activated, your soul will instantly be wiped out."
Zhuiyun was shocked when she heard this. She felt the unquestionable power and ruthlessness of Li Chengfeng.
She knew that she had no way out and could only wholeheartedly be loyal to this master.
After completing all this, Li Chengfeng gently beckoned, and the Book of Sins returned to his hand again.
The surface of the book seemed ordinary, but the inside had already established a close connection with Li Chengfeng's mind.
Various wonderful formations slowly operated between the pages, although most of them were broken and incomplete, Li Chengfeng had already made up his mind to gradually repair them, so that the Book of Sins would once again shine with the most dazzling light and the strongest power.
