239: Chapter 239 Su Lianxue VS Lin Ming

"What on earth is this thing?"

Lin Ming frowned.

For some reason, he felt an inexplicable aversion to this power.

Yet, even his Nine Heavens Sword Intent could not extinguish this power, which showed just how peculiar this malevolent force was.

Moreover, ordinary cultivators would likely be unable to resist this power; if it were any other cultivator, they would have probably been devoured by this malevolent force long ago.

Lin Ming did not dare to rashly make contact with this malevolent power. Lin Ming dared not touch such an unknown and extremely dangerous thing lightly.

However, he could also perceive that this malevolent power was dissipating rapidly; it would likely disappear completely before long.

Lin Ming did not want this malevolent power to just dissipate like this.

Since this malevolent power had originated from those demonic cultivators, it meant they must still possess this kind of malevolent force.

And it might be used against them in the future.

Therefore, Lin Ming still wanted to figure out what exactly this thing was.

Spirit Severing Seal.

A great Seal was cast from Lin Ming's hands.

He wanted to completely Seal this power to prevent it from continuing to dissipate.

But the Spirit Severing Seal seemed to be ineffective against it.

Or rather, this thing had absolutely nothing to do with Origin Qi. Under the Spirit Severing Seal, this malevolent power dissipated completely.

It was as if it did not exist in this world at all.

This only further piqued Lin Ming's curiosity, but since this power had already dissipated, if he wanted to find it again, he would likely have to start with the Demonic Sect.

And this malevolent power was likely the reliance of these Demonic Sects.

The upcoming confrontation between the two sides would likely be quite interesting.

This also made Lin Ming think of Wanqi Mountain.

Could this malevolent power have originated from Wanqi Mountain?

Perhaps that was truly possible.

However, Lin Ming did not dwell on it; these matters had nothing to do with him for the time being.

He still had his own things to do.

Lin Ming stood up and left the Immortal Cave.

Upon leaving the Immortal Cave, the aura on Lin Ming's body had undergone a slight change, and his Realm had also improved to the Seventh Heaven of the Spirit Platform Realm.

He really should improve his cultivation.

...

The next day.

"Senior Brother, these are all invitation cards for challenging you."

Yan Nian brought out a large pile of invitation cards; although they were called invitation cards, they were actually challenge letters.

These were challenge letters from those who wanted to challenge Lin Ming, and without exception, they were all Disciples between the Eighth Heaven and the Lingtai Ninth Heaven.

"It seems to be because a Disciple challenged Senior Brother previously and had an Epiphany, achieving a Breakthrough, so they want to try it too."

Yan Nian said uncertainly. This was what she had heard from the challengers themselves.

After all, Yan Nian had not been in the Sect for very long, and she did not know much about what had happened before.

"Epiphany, Breakthrough—how could such things be so simple?" Lin Ming shook his head.

Ouyang Ming's Epiphany and Breakthrough were because he had the Aptitude, the foundation, and on top of that, he had given him a push.

Timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony—he had it all.

Trying to replicate another Ouyang Ming could be said to be a very difficult thing.

At the very least, as for these people challenging Lin Ming, although Lin Ming had not met them, he still felt that they could not do it.

It was just a waste of time.

As for what these people mentioned on the cards about using Origin Stones as challenge fees and the like, Lin Ming did not want to earn those Origin Stones for the time being.

"Oh, right, there are also invitation cards for you, Senior Sister Su." Yan Nian took out a few more invitation cards, or one could call them invitations, and handed them to Su Lianxue.

"My invitation cards?" Su Lianxue took the invitation cards with a trace of confusion.

However, after taking one look, these invitation cards were casually discarded by Su Lianxue.

"Junior Sister, they are inviting you directly." Lin Ming casually picked up one of Su Lianxue's invitations.

It was filled with mushy words, and the summary was simply inviting Su Lianxue to a banquet. The next few invitations probably meant the same thing.

"I am not interested in these." Su Lianxue said coldly.

Su Lianxue had no interest in such things at all. Her goal now was to improve her strength, to rapidly improve her strength.

And after cultivating the Cultivation Technique passed down from the Immortal Legacy, it had indeed allowed her to see a different world.

If one had to mention something other than cultivation, it would be Lin Ming.

Su Lianxue had always been very interested in this mysterious Senior Brother of hers, but she had never been able to see through her mysterious Senior Brother.

Sooner or later, she would tear away the mysterious veil of her Senior Brother.

If possible, she would not mind letting her Senior Brother become her assistant, becoming one of her subordinates.

It was just that her current cultivation was too low; she was only in the third Realm of cultivation, and she still needed to improve her cultivation as soon as possible.

"Not interested now, but that might not be the case in the future." Lin Ming said with a slightly playful tone.

"Senior Brother, I want to challenge you." Su Lianxue said suddenly. Her gaze was fixed directly on Lin Ming.

"Challenge me?" Lin Ming was stunned for a moment. This change of subject was a bit fast, wasn't it? Just a moment ago they were talking about invitations, and now they were talking about challenging him.

"That's right, Senior Brother." Su Lianxue said. This could be considered a spur-of-the-moment decision. She had suddenly decided to challenge her Senior Brother.

"Junior Sister, are you sure?" Lin Ming asked with a smile. If his Junior Sister insisted on challenging him, he wouldn't mind having a proper exchange with her. After all, having been in the Sect for so long, he, as her Senior Brother, had not yet guided his Junior Sister.

"Senior Brother, I hope you can fight me with the cultivation of the First Heaven of the Sea-Opening Realm." Su Lianxue said.

Even though her cultivation had broken through to the Fourth Heaven of the Sea-Opening Realm, what she displayed to the outside world was still the cultivation of the First Heaven of the Sea-Opening Realm. Little did she know, the cultivation she deliberately hid was completely transparent before her Senior Brother; she had hidden it for nothing.

"No problem." Lin Ming nodded. Lin Ming also quickly suppressed his cultivation to the First Heaven of the Sea-Opening Realm. The two of them suppressed their cultivation to the First Heaven of the Sea-Opening Realm together.

The two came to an open space, while Yan Nian watched this scene with a curious look on her face.

"Senior Brother, be careful." Su Lianxue said to Lin Ming.

"Junior Sister, come on." Lin Ming nodded. He wanted to see how his mysterious Junior Sister would perform.

Su Lianxue made the first move. Her elegant figure rushed towards Lin Ming, and she pointed a finger at him.

Lin Ming did not move a step; he also extended a finger and collided with Su Lianxue's finger.

Under that one finger, invisible ripples spread out from Su Lianxue's finger, causing the surrounding Origin Qi to become chaotic.

Lin Ming immediately reacted; wisps of lightning emerged from his finger and rushed towards Su Lianxue.

The two forces collided rapidly at this moment. Su Lianxue, however, retreated.
