Chapter 28: The Book of Lin's Cultivation is Complete, A New Choice

  "Hmph...” A wave of corrosive sounds came from Meng Leng's ears, and in her heart, she didn't think much of it either. She knew that this move could only delay her illusory enemy for a moment, and the reason she did so was entirely to prepare for her next killing move.

  "Although I've been here many times, I have to say that everything here is really simulated." Meng Leng couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the scenery around him.

  "But I'm already tired of this kind of training, this time I want to fight with someone even stronger. Let's just end this farce quickly." Meng Ling muttered, and from her hands to her entire body, she turned a pale green color.

  "Body of Fire - Firefly." Meng Ling looked around, hummed softly, and suddenly the green light on her body became more eye-catching. Moreover, it continued to separate into tiny green dots that flew around her like countless fireflies dancing in the sky.

  "Clang, clang......" Two metallic sounds came from behind Meng Leng's body. Turning back to look, Meng Leng found that her entire illusion had become very reflective at this time, and she immediately knew the reason.

  "The physique of steel - Stellar Cloud Armor." Huanxiang Mengying slowly said a sentence, no mistake just as Mengying released the deadly poisonous fog, Huanxiang Mengying had already fully steelized her body, which made the toxic gas useless against her. After all, from head to toe, every cell and tissue in her body was made of steel, so the bacteria in the poisonous fog couldn't possibly penetrate the steel, making it impossible for Huanxiang Mengying to be poisoned.

  "Yah, you really did use the Steel Physique, huh? Just as I thought. Take this - Fire Dharma!" Along with Meng Leng's tender shout, all of the 'Fireflies' surrounding her suddenly exploded, instantly engulfing both Meng Leng and her own illusion.

  "Heh heh...... Heh heh." After the flames disappeared, Meng Ling immediately used a teleportation technique to appear in front of her own illusion and once again used her most skilled ultimate move.

  "Icy physique - Ice Age." Meng Ling murmured, and in an instant, the illusory Meng Ling's entire body turned into a statue of ice.

  "Thank you so much for accompanying me in my cultivation all this time, now my strength has really increased a lot. However, my success was destined from the beginning, so..." Meng Ling lightly tapped the already frozen illusion of Meng Ling, and suddenly her entire body began to shatter inch by inch. In an instant, she disappeared without a trace on the ground.

  "Clang..." Just as the illusion disappeared, the large gate of the first floor of the Supply Tower slowly opened. Meng looked at the gate in front of him and stepped out calmly.

  "Wow, Xiao Mengling, I didn't expect you to succeed with just one trial. It seems your actual combat experience is not bad at all." Just as he came out of the Offering Tower, Mengling heard Sally's voice.

  "I'm saying, Sally Ye sister, this time my trial is already complete, so what should I cultivate next? Looking at your calm appearance, it seems like you've known all along that I would succeed this time." Although Dreaming Ling still hasn't seen Sally's true form, in her own heart she treats Sally as if she were her own benevolent mentor.

  "Huh? It seems you've not only improved your combat abilities, but also learned to think about problems from multiple angles. Hmm, that's really great. Oh, right, earlier that Fire Body technique of yours had an incredibly strong destructive power, which shouldn't be possible at all." Sally asked.

  "You mean the 'Fire Dharma' I just released in the worship tower? Hehe, actually, I've made some arrangements." Meng Ling said with a smile.

  "What's going on? What is this?" Sally was very curious, to say the least. The 'Fire Dharma' skill should only cause illusions and burns, but it wasn't just that. In the first layer of the Offering Tower, Ling had actually managed to make a fully steel-ized illusion of himself be burned so badly that he couldn't move at all. Even if fire could overcome metal, Ling's technique was still too unusual, which made Sally very curious.

  "Alright, alright, I knew you'd ask me about this. So, let me explain it to you properly now. When I used the Death Fog earlier, I mixed in a lot of sulfuric acid with it. At that time, my illusionary self made a wrong decision and chose to use a steel body that was extremely prone to corrosion instead of a diamond body. Although there was a high concentration of sulfuric acid in the air at that time, it didn't cause much harm to my illusionary self initially. However, after I used the two Fire Damos, it was like adding a catalyst to the sulfuric acid in the air. As a result, my illusionary self's body, which had already been steelized, naturally began to corrode and disintegrate. And finally, the absolute zero temperature of the Ice Age spell completely destroyed my illusionary self's body. To be honest, I was just taking a gamble at that time because my illusionary self could also use the Shadow Clone technique." Dreaming Wind explained with a smile.

  "What's sulfuric acid? Corrosion? And catalysts? What are those things?" Although Meng Leng explained it clearly, to Sally who had never studied chemistry before, it was a bunch of incomprehensible words that left her completely bewildered.

  "Alas, I forgot that you don't understand chemistry, so it's pointless to say. Ah, Sally sister, what's my next training anyway?" After a brief moment of helplessness, Meng Ling returned to her main topic.

  "Hmm? Oh, your actual combat experience is already quite good now, so your next training will still be conducted inside the Offering Tower." Sally's transmitted voice was very flat.

  "Am I fighting with my own illusion again? No way. Don't be like this, it's so annoying." Meng Ling said with some resentment.

  "Who said that going to the Offering Tower means you have to fight your own illusions? There are other ways to cultivate, idiot." Sally said somewhat irritably.

  "What other cultivation? What exactly is it?" Meng Ling asked in a low voice.

  "It's not like fighting your own illusions, but it's almost the same. However, you'd better be mentally prepared, this isn't a joke. If things go wrong, you might end up suffering a huge mental blow." Sally said with a somewhat solemn tone.

  "Huh? What is it, exactly? Spit it out. I'll take a look at myself first and then make a decision." Meng Ling had never heard Sally use such a tone before, so her own heart skipped a beat as she realized that this training was definitely not going to be easy.

  "Hmm, that's good too. By the way, when you were just fighting with your own illusion, did you notice if there was anything different inside the Offering Tower?" Sally asked.

  "No, I was just fighting with my own illusion and didn't have the mind to notice these things. By the way, why ask this? Could it be..." Meng Ling asked with some speculation.

  "It's just as you thought, you should know that the 'Lin Zhishu' you're holding is actually one of the legendary supreme secret scriptures for cultivation - one of the 'Nine Volumes'. In fact, this cultivation method isn't called 'Nine Volumes', its real name is actually 'Tian Dao Jiu Jue', and the 'Lin Zhishu' in your hand is only one-ninth of it." Xiang Ye explained.

  "What's 'Tian Dao Jiu Jue'? What does it have to do with my next cultivation?" Meng Ling asked, somewhat perplexed.

  "Hehe, of course it's related, because you're about to cultivate this technique next." Sally said with a light smile.

  "Really?" As soon as she heard this, Meng Ling's eyes lit up instantly. She knew that if Sally praised "Tian Dao Jiu Jue" so much, it must be something extraordinary. If she could really master this technique, then even with just one finger, she would be able to dominate the world of Naruto.

  "Don't be too excited, do you think it's that easy to cultivate the 'Tian Dao Jiu Jue'? Let me tell you, actually, a part of the 'Tian Dao Jiu Jue' recorded in the 'Lin Zhong Shu' was already imprinted on the wall of the first floor of the worship tower after you put the 'Lin Zhong Shu' into it. You just haven't noticed it yourself." Sally said calmly.

  "What did you say? How could... Then wouldn't I have destroyed the entire secret recipe?" Meng Ling was somewhat surprised, she still remembered that the skill she had just used was extremely damaging, if she were to destroy the secret recipe of "Tian Dao Jiu Jue" like this, then she would truly be at a loss.

  "Destroyed? Don't be ridiculous, if you had the ability to destroy what's inside the Offering Tower, then you wouldn't need to cultivate the Heavenly Dao Nine Decisions. With your current strength, it's absolutely impossible for you to leave even a hint of evidence inside the Offering Tower." Sally said with a light smile.

  "That's good." Upon hearing this, Meng Ling let out a long sigh of relief.

  "Now you also know the location of 'Tian Dao Jiu Jue', but seeing 'Tian Dao Jiu Jue' is not an easy thing, after all, it's not something that anyone can see." Sally said calmly.

  "What do you mean?" Meng Ling heard the implication in Sally's words.

  "It's not that simple, reading the 'Tian Dao Jiu Jue' method is not like reading an ordinary book, so you need to hide from your own illusions in the pagoda while cultivating the 'Tian Dao Jiu Jue', this is not a simple thing. Do you have this awareness?" Xiang Ye asked with a smile.

  "What did you say?" Upon hearing this, Meng Leng couldn't help but widen her mouth in surprise.

  "Alright, now you've completed the first stage of training. Today, it's best to rest well and consider whether or not to continue practicing 'Tian Dao Jiu Jue'. " Sally said lightly, then fell silent, while Meng's spirit returned to the world of Huo Ying with Sally's words."
