Chapter 274 Controlling the Source Clan's Power

Having received a definite answer, Little Golden Tiger got up, shook off the snow, and then shrunk in size to fly toward the carriage.

Upon seeing this, Ye Qingshuang also returned to the carriage.

"Little Golden Tiger." When Bai Jiu saw Little Golden Tiger return, she immediately opened her arms. Little Golden Tiger had been held by Bai Jiu during the time he was injured. Now that Xin Ze and Ling Yi were not around, Bai Jiu's embrace was the best choice for Little Golden Tiger.

The little golden tiger flew over, found a spot in Baijiu's arms, and lay down without moving.

Seeing that it wasn't in high spirits, Baijiu didn't disturb it, and instead looked at Ye Qingshuang and Bai Qingjue: "Where do we go next?"

Ye Qingshuang looked at the two of them: "Jin Zhou said before that she would be asleep for half a year. If Ling Yi waits for her to wake up and come out together, it is still too early. The wind and snow in the North District are too heavy and it is not suitable to stay for a long time. I want to leave the North District first."

After Ye Qingshuang finished speaking, she looked at Ji Changrong and Baijiu, waiting for their reply.

Baijiu had no opinion on where to go, saying, "You guys can decide, I'm fine with anything."

Bai Qingjue didn't answer immediately. He wanted to find a place with fewer troubles, since he still had to work at night and didn't want to work while he was at it.

“Go to the central region,” Bai Qingjue said. “There are fewer people there. Apart from the descendants of the gods and the Heavenly Family, there’s no one else around. It’s less trouble.”

"Where is there less trouble?" Ye Qingshuang disagreed with Ji Changrong's words: "The descendants of the gods are the biggest problem."

"What's there to be afraid of?" Bai Qingjue said indifferently. "If they had any clues, they would have come here long ago. Even if they don't have any clues, there's no need to worry about being exposed. Besides, being close to them means we can quickly find out their movements, isn't that better?"

That makes some sense. Ye Qingshuang looked at Lin Chengtian and asked, "What do you think?"

Lin Chengtian said, "Either is fine."

He just wants to find a place to cultivate right now; he has no other thoughts.

Either way is fine. One suggested going to the central region, but after careful consideration, Ye Qingshuang decided to go to the place Ji Changrong suggested.

The carriage left Snow Lake in the North District and headed towards the Central District.

...

Five months later, at the Mermaid's Tomb.

Jin Zhou awoke from the Destiny Stone and keenly sensed that its power was flowing outwards.

Upon realizing this, Jin Zhou was immediately filled with questions.

Are you kidding me? This is her destiny stone, how could its power be leaking out?

Jin Zhou didn't believe it, but upon sensing it again, he realized that the power was indeed flowing out, and very close at that...

Jin Zhou turned his head and looked in the direction of the outward flow of power. He saw a figure sitting with his back to the Destiny Stone. Although he couldn't see the face, Jin Zhou recognized the figure at a glance.

Ling Yi.

Upon learning that Ling Yi was absorbing the power of the Destiny Stone, Jin Zhou was no longer shocked. He slowly got up, emerged from the Destiny Stone, and sat on the rock, quietly watching Ling Yi.

Having slept in the Destiny Stone for half a year, Jin Zhou is in excellent condition now, it's just a pity...

She was about to deal with those shadows. Once she dealt with them, the power she had absorbed would be completely used up, and she would return to her original form as a little broken fish.

However, with Ling Yi's blood and the Heavenly Fate Stone, he will recover in no time.

She can recover, but what about Ling Yi?

Looking at Ling Yi, Jin Zhou couldn't help but think of Ji Yanzhi.

The man brought her out of despair. Apart from knowing that he was Ji Yanyue's child, she knew nothing else. She didn't know his purpose, but she was grateful to him for bringing her to Ling Yi's side. She just didn't expect that he would appear next to Ling Yi!

Why did Ji Yanzhi appear next to Ling Yi?

Jin Zhou had many questions she wanted to ask Ji Yanzhi, but Ji Yanzhi wasn't there, so she could only wait until she went out. However, before that, she had to wait for Ling Yi to go out with her.

Jin Zhou swung his feet, eagerly awaiting what was to come, but just then, the Mermaid Tomb began to tremble.

Jin Zhou's expression changed. He looked up and saw that the stone statues were beginning to crack, and the black mist trapped inside them suddenly burst out and flew into the sky.

"Rumble"

The stone statue continued to shatter, and countless wisps of black mist flew out from it, as if summoned by some force, and gathered towards the sky.

Jin Zhou looked at the black mist and a bad feeling rose in her heart. She wanted to chase after them to see what was going on, but as soon as she set off, she saw that Ling Yi had not stopped yet, and she was afraid that something would happen to Ling Yi if she left.

Just as Jin Zhou was caught in a dilemma, Ling Yi stopped cultivating.

The commotion at the Mermaid Tomb was so great that Ling Yi couldn't possibly miss it.

Ling Yi stopped cultivating and before he could even check the situation, he heard a joyful voice: "Ling Yi!"

Ling looked up and saw that Jin Zhou was already awake, so she asked, "What happened?"

Jin Zhou shook his head: "I don't know either. It's just that the stone statues suddenly shattered, and the black mist that was suppressed inside them went to one place."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yi looked towards the stone statues. As far as he could see, all the stone statues were shattered, and the black mist flying out of the stone statues, just as Jin Zhou had said, was converging in one direction.

Jin Zhou said, "Ling Yi, I need to go check on the situation. You..."

“I’ll go with you,” Ling Yi interrupted Jin Zhou.

Jin Zhou originally planned to take Ling Yi out with him, but now... Jin Zhou glanced at the black mist again. Those who could control the power of the Origin Clan were definitely not ordinary people.

And... weren't they all sealed away? Why did they still appear?

Jin Zhou suppressed his thoughts, waved his hand toward the Destiny Stone, and the stone, which was originally the size of a bed, quickly shrank into a crystal-clear little stone.

The stone is beautiful, translucent and pure white, but upon closer inspection, you can see a faint hint of black within its flowing energy.

Looking at that dark spot, Ling Yi thought of her conversation with Jin Zhou in the first realm.

In the first realm, Jin Zhou asked her, "What is that black?"

She answered Jin Zhou: "Soul Lock."

Jin Zhou asked what the Soul Lock was, but Ling Yi, who was in the first level of the realm, did not answer. As a result, Ling Yi does not know what the Soul Lock is now, but one thing is certain.

When Jin Zhou gave the Destiny Stone to her at the first level of the cultivation realm, there was no black inside the Destiny Stone. The black that appeared later was put in by her at the first level of the cultivation realm. Soul Lock... does it mean to lock the soul?

Just as Ling Yi was pondering, Jin Zhou moved his hand in front of Ling Yi: "We're going out, but you have to accept it."

"Why?" Ling glanced at the stone, then looked at Jin Zhou: "It must be very important to you."

“Indeed.” After recovering, Jin Zhou originally wanted to have a good talk with Ling Yi, but now it seems there is no chance: “Precisely because it is important, I wanted to leave it with you.”

Before Ling Yi could say anything, Jin Zhou continued, "Ling Yi, I can only feel at ease if I keep it with you."

Ling Yi stared at Jin Zhou for a long time before finally accepting the stone.

Ling Yi held the stone and looked at Jin Zhou, saying, "I will keep it safe."

Jin Zhou smiled upon hearing this: "It won't do to carry it on your person."
