NOVEL NEXT WORLD chapter 232
232. You Have the Potential to Become an Immortal
Lin Nuo was gazing into the distance, talking to himself, unaware that Ling Huangxian had suddenly come over to explain. He was startled.
The Valley of Resentment and Evil, a place where demons, ghosts, and evil spirits are imprisoned? You popped up like a ghost, I think that place suits you.
“There are too many demons and evil spirits among the people, their resentment and grievances are deep and hard to eradicate, and the Valley of Resentment and Evil is precisely the place to purify them.”
Ling Huangxian continued to smile.
In Lin Nuo’s knowledge, immortal valleys and mountains indeed had such places, probably similar to the Demon Locking Tower in “Chinese Paladin 3”.
Lin Nuo frowned, always feeling that such places would trigger some events.
Lin Nuo asked:
“The Valley of Resentment and Evil, there should be immortals guarding it, right? Or is it just a formation to imprison the demons and evil spirits inside?”
“Naturally, there are immortals guarding it. We have various ways to imprison them, using formations, cages, furnaces, and vessels.”
Ling Huangxian explained kindly to Lin Nuo, “You are a distinguished guest from Xuanyun Sect. If you are interested, I can take you inside for a tour, but the resentment is very heavy, and you might feel uncomfortable.”
“No, thank you. I’m worried that after a tour, I won’t be able to sleep at night.”
Lin Nuo declined Ling Huang Xian’s kind offer, not because he was afraid of encountering those evil spirits and ghosts. After all, he was a major villain and had seen plenty of such things.
It was just a feeling that now was not the right time to go to such a place.
This Ling Huang Xian appeared kind and was a high-ranking immortal, yet he was approachable and very enthusiastic.
However, Lin Nuo felt that Ling Huang Xian’s enthusiasm was against common sense. Even if he was curious and volunteered, it was unlikely that an immortal would be willing to take him into such an important place.
Besides, he hadn’t said anything like “I’m very curious, I want to go.”
“Well, I was just saying. If Young Master Lin doesn’t want to go, just pretend I never mentioned it. I just thought that if one has the world in their heart and aims to eliminate demons in the future, they will eventually have to face these evil spirits and demons.”
“Sorry, I don’t think I’m capable of facing so many evil spirits and demons yet.”
Seeing that Ling Huang Xian wanted to continue persuading Lin Nuo to enter the Valley of Evil Spirits, Lin Nuo continued to refuse.
Even if he wanted to go, he wouldn’t. The meaning of this person’s words was: those who have the world in their heart need to go in, as if he was insulting him, implying that whoever goes in is a fool.
Go to hell, I’m not going. I don’t care to see those evil spirits and demons.
“I heard that Young Master Lin came to Zifeng Valley with his maid, and several elders of Xuanyun Sect jointly recommended you. Do you have any thoughts of becoming an immortal?”
“I do, but I am self-aware. My immortal potential is insufficient, making it difficult to step onto the path of immortality.”
Lin Nuo perfunctorily followed the immortal’s words. After all, the other party was a high-ranking immortal, and he couldn’t just say “No, get lost.”
“Young Master Lin, has any immortal ever assessed your immortal potential?”
“No.”
“Then how do you know you lack immortal potential?”
“It’s simple. Those with immortal potential are recognized by immortals at a glance. I don’t have such luck, which means I don’t have the capital to become an immortal,” Lin Nuo said calmly.
“They are the ones who failed to recognize a great talent. In my opinion, Young Master Lin has the potential to become an immortal. If you are willing, I can conduct an assessment of your immortal potential.”
Ling Huang Xian smiled kindly, and Lin Nuo was once again shocked.
He hadn’t expected Ling Huang Xian to think he had the potential to become an immortal.
Thinking about it, you have cultivated for so many years in vain, and your eyes are blind. You say a future great villain has the potential to become an immortal?
Step down! Get out of Zifeng Valley, you don’t deserve to be an immortal!
However, on second thought, Ling Huang Xian definitely wouldn’t be blind enough to think he had immortal potential. Rather, the other party had another plan.
Oh, I see.
Sure enough, people who smile on the surface have deep schemes.
This should be an opportunity to probe his physique.
He had never been examined by an immortal, let alone a high-ranking one. If this guy really examined his physique, he might find out that he was suitable for cultivating demonic arts.
That would be the end, directly becoming cannon fodder. Trying to trick me, you old b*stard, you’re really bad.
Moreover, this person was very strange.
“No need to waste each other’s time. If the result comes out, it will most likely shatter my dream of becoming an immortal. It’s better to leave some room for imagination.”
Lin Nuo spoke earnestly, then turned back to Li Ruo’er behind him, “By the way, I should go have a meal with Li Ruo’er now, I shall take my leave.”
Lin Nuo bowed, then turned and left.
Ling Huangxian watched the boy’s departing figure, still smiling.
Well, mortals will never be stronger than immortals.
…
Five days ago.
In the lush forest, there was a deep path, the further one walked, the colder it became.
The graceful Ling Huangxian walked lightly along the deep forest path and stopped before a large purple-black door.
“Greetings, Ling Huangxian!”
Two guarding immortals greeted respectfully.
“Mm, you two have worked hard. How is the situation inside the Valley of Resentment and Evil recently?”
“Occasionally, there are still demons and evil spirits trying to resist, but overall, there is no major issue.”
“Very well, I will go in and inspect.”
“Please, Ling Huangxian.”
The two immortals politely stepped aside, and Ling Huangxian walked into the dark and sinful Valley of Resentment and Evil.
Everywhere were low moans and sharp howls, the imprisoned resentful spirits and demons were undergoing the purification of the immortals.
Resentful spirits and demons, they all had more or less filth on them, the immortals were there to remove their filth. If they could sincerely repent, one day they could see the light of day again. If not, they would be purified.
Which meant elimination.
“Immortals, you will die a horrible death!”
“Let me out, you will all die!”
…
Various curses and howls, Ling Huangxian was already used to them, his ears could completely filter out their voices.
He kept walking in one direction, finally entering a secret chamber.
Inside the chamber was a black celestial stone, surrounded by a mass of pitch-black gas.
“How do you feel?”
Ling Huangxian closed the chamber door and spoke to the gas mass.
“Great, this place is full of resentment and evil energy, I have absorbed enough nutrients. When can I go out?”
The black gas mass emitted a low voice.
Ling Huangxian calmly said:
“No need to rush, I will let you out soon. Next, it will be your time to massacre the immortals in this valley. But first, we need to conduct an experiment to ensure the success of the operation. You can start with the celestial beasts.”
“How is that?”
“Next, I will bring the immortal who trains the spirit beasts here. You can try to infiltrate his body. Try to see if you can interfere with his consciousness. If you can, stay in his body and observe. When he trains the spirit beasts, cast a curse on the beasts to plant the seeds of disaster.”
“What if I get discovered?”
“Don’t worry, you won’t. I will also assist you in concealing the curse. Those immortals won’t easily notice.”
Ling Huang Xian smiled and said.
