I attained immortality in the real world.

"puff!"

Chen Jing had this idea before the ban was imposed.

His body inexplicably shifted a step to the left, and the grass sword aimed at his head grazed past his ear, piercing through the chest of the bearded man behind him.

Without blood, the grass leaves that touched the flesh and blood instantly took root, and the roots grew exponentially, wrapping the bearded man into a human-shaped dumpling in the blink of an eye.

Lin Ling looked at Chen Jing with surprise, frowning and asking in confusion, "It actually missed!"

"Under the suppression of the domain's spiritual energy, you can't even generate a single thought, yet you're still able to make a dodging motion?"

"Forget it! Forget it! It's normal for an old relic from hundreds of years ago to be out of touch with the times. Since we're living under someone else's roof, I won't care about the order of death! Killing him first is the same."

"Woo!"

The bearded man moved his lips twice and found that his body was being filled with grass roots, and his flesh and blood were being replaced, turning him into a straw man woven from weeds.

The first herb in the world possesses an innate divine status, and Lin Ling has the authority to control all herbs. Without permission, she cannot even utter a word of begging for mercy.

"........."

Lin Ling didn't wait for Chen Jing's reply, and slightly curled her finger: "Autumn Kill!"

Having said that, a wisp of spiritual energy was activated within the grass leaf, and the resulting roots glowed brightly. Instead of absorbing flesh and blood to nourish the grass, they transmitted ultimate perception.

Without the limitations of a physical body, even a celestial being that has completely broken through barriers can only penetrate the sea of ​​consciousness of others with extremely weak power.

But power never needs to be great. Humans are like a precision instrument; they are extremely difficult to build from scratch, but extremely easy to destroy.

Sending a wrong signal is like toppling the first domino, mobilizing the enemy's own mental energy and causing damage to one's own consciousness, like committing suicide with a sword.

This is not a difference in the amount of power, but a difference in the level of understanding and application.

"........."

The bearded man's body declined from its prime, like the cold autumn wind blowing through withered grass and trees.

What he saw and felt was completely distorted; his body trembled and curled up in a ball, his consciousness sinking into a state of delusion.

Pain, cold, despair—torture far exceeding the capacity of consciousness—are negative influences that can cause the consciousness to collapse and disintegrate.

Lin Ling's eyes were fixed on the straw man's reaction, listening to the painful groans of the plant, like a mother's apologetic murmur to her child: "This is the first time I have killed someone since I came back to life, please forgive me."

Some say that achieving immortality is actually quite simple: just keep breathing and don't stop breathing.

"But when the end of life comes, every second will be filled with pain far exceeding the body's limits. With each additional second, the pain will double, and life will be nothing but eternal suffering."

"When pain surpasses the will, one will no longer cherish life, and that is when death arrives."

"Conversely, as long as a person suffers pain beyond life, even if they are physically healthy, they can achieve death of consciousness."

"I think cultivators should be no exception; they just need to increase the dosage."

When the body endures pain beyond its limits, it will shield itself, triggering a protective mechanism.

The pain of consciousness has no upper limit, so killing directly at the level of consciousness is far more cruel than any punishment in the real world.

The intense fluctuations in mental energy directly affected the data in the virtual reality world, causing the character's body to twist and contort, like a candle in a raging fire deforming and melting, leaving only a wisp of ashes in an instant.

"........."

Dead?
The collapse of consciousness led to the physical brain death of the dimensional pod's body?

If one is still alive, the will to live may be intensely stimulated before death, and one may break free of the cage by shedding one's tail like a gecko, abandoning the obsessive thoughts and regaining consciousness.

It will only result in uncontrollable consequences such as damage to divine essence, complete loss of cultivation, drop in realm, and decline in intelligence, with a probability of about 50% or 50% compared to death.

Different people. Different methods.

The probability may deviate to some extent.

[Domain bans, assimilation of connections, and sensory-based killing.]

Lin Ling fully revealed the killing techniques in the virtual world, but she made more use of her fairy spirit advantages.

Chen Jing initiated the Virtual World Killing Law project, and others did the same, not so much to kill others, but more to prevent others from using it.

The direct killing method is different from the Seven Arrows of Nailhead; it cannot be avoided.

"........."

The embers on Qin's position knew that the bearded man was likely in grave danger.

Looking at Lin Ling with some confusion, he thought that the death of a data character could sever the connection between a person and the heavens, and that killing the descending consciousness had nothing to do with breaking the Azure Emperor's aura.

There is absolutely no benefit in killing people in the mortal world by using the forbidden consciousness of the dojo.
Puzzled, he said, "If you want to destroy the Azure Emperor's aura, you can just kill the data characters. If you are angry that we assisted the Azure Emperor in creating the heavens, a small punishment will suffice."

"Even immortals rely on the living for sustenance and depend on their clans for longevity. Why resort to such deadly methods?"

Lin Ling slightly raised her hand, and another ordinary blade of grass condensed at her fingertips.

He turned his head and aimed at Qin Zhen, who was speaking out for justice: "Does killing need a reason? Immortals are also human, and unfortunately, I happen to be a bad person."

"........."

Chen Jing looked up at Lin Ling, a freak combining immortality and divinity, whose mental and data aspects completely overwhelmed everyone else.

Although he is currently in the process of losing his Dao, he will be a true immortal in the cultivation world before he completely transforms into the Dao.

Unable to break through the limitations of the dojo's domain, they cannot resist at all, not even by manifesting the Dharma; they can only try to escape.

【Grass Sword!】

【Om! 】

Lin Ling waved her hand, and the blade of grass at her fingertips transformed into a sharp sword once more.

Chen Jing's Golden Cicada in his sea of ​​consciousness flapped its wings again. Although Lin Ling's target was Qin Zhen, the grass sword once again attacked Chen Jing.

Based on the warning from the cicada's sense of wonder, I rolled away in advance, and the grass sword once again brushed past me. This time, however, there was no unlucky soul behind me.

[The Dharma of Yuanshen! 】

The remaining eight people did the same thing without any discussion.

Taking advantage of the moment when Lin Ling used the energy of the Daoist field to suppress Chen Jing's thoughts and the sealing power became weak, he fully activated his divine essence and injected it into his primordial spirit. A phantom-like Dharma image was activated, attempting to break through the Daoist field's seal and allow his consciousness to return to his physical body.

Lin Ling's suppression of the Daoist field lasted only a moment; in the blink of an eye, he stopped the attack and withdrew the suppression from the Daoist field.

Before they could break through the restrictions of the dojo's territory, the closure turned the dojo into an impregnable fortress.

Lin Ling's first attack lasted only a moment; otherwise, Chen Jing would not have been able to dodge the second attack. She had already calculated the best time to strike and had no need to worry about the domain seal being broken.

His gaze fell on Chen Jing's back, and he suddenly realized: "So it turns out that a fellow immortal was helping you. Using immortals and gods is a form of supernatural power. No wonder you were able to dodge in advance."

"It's truly pathetic that the immortals who once enjoyed high status and veneration have been reduced to mere tools."

Chen Jing's mind raced. He had narrowly escaped death twice, but his thoughts became increasingly clear.

If Lin Ling hadn't considered him her primary target, escaping wouldn't have been too difficult, but now she needed to create an opportunity.

He replied bluntly, "Heaven and earth take humanity as their foundation; everything else is merely a tool. Whether it's offerings or supernatural powers, their uses are simply different." (End of Chapter)
