This sudden change caused Lingyun, who had always been on guard, to be shocked and he instantly wanted to retract his Mental Energy.

However, he couldn't retract the devouring force at all. He couldn't help it.

In fact, that devouring force seemed to have found the source of his consciousness and locked onto his spiritual space, frantically absorbing his spiritual force.

Lingyun's expression was extremely ugly. He had always been the one devouring the spiritual energy of others. When had it ever been his turn to be devoured? Especially since it was a spiritual item.

However, he wasn't worried about the spiritual force being sucked dry of his mind space, because once it was sucked dry, it would mean his death.

He believed that the Old Master's Supreme Pagoda and the chaos stone would not allow this to happen.

Sure enough, as his thoughts traveled down, the chaos stone in his mental space remained motionless as usual, with an unchanging expression on its face, as if it was under the pressure of Mt. Tai.

However, the Martial Saint Tower within his Qi Sea did not just sit there and do nothing. The Exquisite Pagoda's body slightly shook and immediately cut off the devouring power. A majestic pressure was released from the pagoda and enveloped Dark Asura Hall.

Lingyun's face was pale and he felt dizzy. Just now, two-thirds of his spiritual sea had been drained.

However, an unconcealable look of joy appeared on his face. He had made the right gamble, this old man was indeed not going to sit by and watch him die.

Ding!

With a slight tremble of the pagoda, a resentful thought appeared in his mind, annoying him.

"F * ck, it turns out that wanting to brand a spiritual imprint requires at least the fifth stage of spiritual energy." A message came, and Ling Yun could not help but curse in his heart, speechless.

So it turned out that Dark Asura Hall had long since been prepared to acknowledge him as their master.

However, Dark Asura Hall did not know that his spirit energy was only at the peak of the third step and far from the requirements.

If it wasn't for the existence of the Supreme Pagoda, his spiritual energy would have already been sucked dry. In the end, even if he didn't die, his origin energy would have been injured.

The purple gas that was spat out by the pagoda was used to brand a mental imprint for him. It even helped Ling Yun refine a portion of it, which was around one twentieth. Although it was not insufficient to display the power of a saint artifact, it was enough to enlarge it.

Ling Yun took a deep breath, and with a thought, he stretched out his hand. That strange black Dark Asura Hall was shrouded in a dim light, and there was a vague mournful wailing sound. It turned into a black palm-sized palace, which flew into his palm.

The information that Dark Asura Hall had sent over was too little. It only introduced its name, part of its origin, its functions, and the matters regarding the nine halls. There wasn't much difference compared to what Ziluo had said.

Lingyun was very dissatisfied with this result, but he had no choice but to accept it.

He had received news that the nine branch palaces were originally one and were split into nine. The Dark Asura Hall could be promoted and the method to be promoted was to devour the other eight palaces.

Lingyun speculated that if he could make this Dark Asura Hall swallow the other eight halls, Dark Asura Hall would become a stage eight and a half divine artifact.

In addition, a spirit artifact that was divided into nine parts would also recover.

Right now, that part of the broken artifact spirit was in a semi-dormant state. It knew what had happened, but it couldn't send out any messages. It must have suffered a severe injury and had no choice but to exist in this state to slowly recover.
