Chapter 209: The Heaven and Earth Diagram
Why was it that even the nine-headed worm who was extremely proficient in illusions couldn’t tell the difference?
Because they were in an illusory realm, a drawing.
What Lin Ming had never expected was that this place was actually a divine artifact!
Of course, it wasn’t surprising that a divine artifact had such large a space.
After all, the first space in Lin Ming’s Stupa, the secret realm, was extremely vast.
No ordinary person wouldn’t be able to reach the ends of the space in their entire life.
However, for a drawing to be the original body of a divine artifact was what made Lin Ming so surprised.
That being said, how could a divine artifact be understood through its appearance?
The drawing in front of him now could be said to contain unfathomable mysteries and rhymes.
“That’s right. This isn’t just any divine artifact. It’s the only one that hasn’t been damaged,” The figure nodded and said.
“This is also one of the Great Four Divine Artifacts, the Heaven and Earth Diagram,” The figure continued.
“The Heaven and Earth Diagram?” Lin Ming was quite surprised when he heard this.
He didn’t expect that one of the Great Four Divine Artifacts, the Heaven and Earth Diagram, to be here!
“During the war back then, the Heaven and Earth Diagram was also damaged. However, it has repaired itself since then,” The figure spoke again.
“A divine artifact that can self-repair?” Lin Ming lowered his head.
Gandulf had also been damaged back then and had now repaired one layer of himself.
The other layer could only be repaired after Lin Ming advanced to the God-tier.
“That’s right. Of course, all divine artifacts have the ability to repair themselves. However, there’s one thing about the Heaven and Earth Diagram. Even if there’s only one little corner of it left, it can still self-repair to its complete state,” The figure nodded and said.
“As for the Stupa and the Divine Tomb, they can only be repaired through external forces when they are damaged to a certain extent,” This figure knew of Lin Ming’s inheritance.
He also knew that the Stupa and the Divine Tomb were both damaged beyond repair.
“Divine Tomb?” Lin Ming frowned. He didn’t know that Black Tortoise had another name.
“Are you the Diagram Spirit?” Lin Ming lowered his head and bowed.
“That’s right, it’s me. After so many years, I can finally see the light of day again,” The figure nodded and sighed.
“Today, I’ll give you this inheritance. Are you willing to accept it?” The Diagram Spirit asked Lin Ming.
“Senior, since you have a new body, you should take back your things,” Lin Ming waved his hand and refused.
Now that the Diagram Spirit had awakened, even if Lin Ming begged for the diagram, the Diagram Spirit probably wouldn’t agree.
After all, the Heaven and Earth Diagram was something that belonged to the Diagram Spirit, to begin with.
In addition, the Diagram Spirit was different from the other Gods that Lin Ming had met.
The other God-tier experts, such as the Demon God and the God of Fire, were only left with remnant souls.
After they gave Lin Ming their inheritance, they had vanished into thin air.
It was also because they had no chance of awakening at all that they had given their inheritance to Lin Ming with 100% certainty.
With this, they could continue their lineage.
However, the Diagram Spirit was different. He had already used the bodies of those two fellows to be reborn.
The current Diagram Spirit completely had the ability to inherit his inheritance.
“Even if I obtain my inheritance now, I won’t have the ability to break through that barrier,” Unexpectedly, the Diagram Spirit shook his head.
“You were already at the God-tier in the past. Why do you not have the ability now?” Hearing this, Lin Ming didn’t quite understand.
“At that time, the path was still there, and the magic elements were dense. There were also many opportunities, which was why I could break through to the God-tier,” The Diagram Spirit sighed and said.
Of course, it was not easy as he put it.
Breaking through to the God-tier was no easy feat.
After all, Becoming a God would mean that one was the true pinnacle of the world, and it required one to sublimate from the limits of one’s physical body.
“Right now, there’s only one juncture in the entire world,” The Diagram Spirit’s gaze landed on Lin Ming.
“And that’s you.”
The things that the other God-tier experts could know, he, the Diagram Spirit, could also learn about.
“As long as you open up the path, it’s only a matter of time before I can break through to the God-tier with my current cultivation base. After all, I’ll just have to walk the path I walked on before,” The Diagram Spirit exploded with extreme confidence.
“Senior, won’t you be able to advance further if you take your inheritance?” Lin Ming asked.
No one was exempt from the urge to leave all good things for themselves.
Lin Ming didn’t believe that the Diagram Spirit would be so selfless to refuse to take the inheritance that was right in front of him when it was something that would allow him to advance further.
“Right now, my cultivation is only at the half-step God-tier. It would be a waste for me to accept the inheritance,” The Diagram Spirit still waved his hand.
“Hehe, you’re born from the illusory realm, right?” Lin Ming looked at the Diagram Spirit and chuckled.
“I’ve existed for so long. Now that I’ve regenerated my consciousness through their bodies, this can’t be considered as my true body,” The Diagram Spirit nodded.
“That’s not what I mean. I mean, you are an illusion,” Lin Ming interrupted him.
Was the Diagram Spirit trying to deceive him? Either way, Lin Ming didn’t believe him.
“Besides, you want me to accept the inheritance, but where is it? How can I accept it?” Lin Ming asked Hua Xian innocently.
“Wheels of Wrath!” Lin Ming shouted and used all his strength to ruthlessly slash at the Diagram Spirit.
“Kid, you’re quite good!” The Diagram Spirit looked at Lin Ming and smiled coldly.
The power of the Wheels of Wrath was blocked by the drawing.
“If you were able to activate all the power of the Wheels of Wrath, I wouldn’t have been able to block it. However, you’re only at tier 10 now, so you definitely won’t be able to do so,” The Diagram Spirit raised his hand, and the Wheels of Wrath returned to Lin Ming’s hand.
“I’m indeed an illusion. You’ve passed the first trial,” The Diagram Spirit said and grabbed Lin Ming once more.
“Go, the second trial is waiting,” The Diagram Spirit grabbed Lin Ming’s shield and threw him into the drawing.
With this, Lin Ming was now inside the Heaven and Earth Diagram.
“Here!”
If not for Lin Ming’s knowledge, he wouldn’t have been able to tell that this was a world within a drawing!
It was simply too real.
It was so real that one couldn’t distinguish real from fake at all!
This was the highest-tier of illusory realms!
The illusory realm that could trap a Sage to death was far inferior to the Heaven and Earth Diagram!
However, the problem Lin Ming faced was also apparent!
The illusory realm outside was far from the Heaven and Earth Diagram, yet it could trap even a Sage to death.
Now that they were inside the Heaven and Earth Diagram itself, the difficulty was needless to say!
“Gandulf, are you familiar with the Heaven and Earth Diagram?” Lin Ming asked.
“Yes, I know a little about it. At your current tier, Master, you will need to find the Heaven and Earth Brush to free yourself from the Heaven and Earth Diagram,” Gandulf appeared, nodded and said.
