Immortal Road.

"Let's stay together so that we won't be separated and hard to find later."

Under the watchful eyes of the remaining cultivators, the two stepped onto the mortal star sea with their backs to each other.

The first aperture on this route is bright silver and doesn't look very big, but that's because it's still quite far away.

Following the path pioneered by their predecessors, the two of them walked several dozen steps before stepping onto the Avenue of Stars!
It felt as if I was on a magnetic levitation track, each step I took was equivalent to hundreds of steps, as if the earth had shrunk to an inch, and I could easily and quickly approach the circle of light in front of me, which was accompanied by a powerful attraction.

Until they arrived, they could see the ripples in the halo as vast as smoke, and many tiny figures were trapped in the long path inside, some still moving, and some already lying on the ground.

He is a lagging disciple of the Vast Holy Land!

The two had no time to think about anything else, because they were immediately pushed into the aperture.

The glass before my eyes shifted, and I was suddenly transported to a brand new world!

Huh~huh~huh~
The strong, biting wind was biting.

Lin Shan opened his eyes and found himself surrounded by an endless glacier.

They stand tall and short, reflecting a dazzling light under the sun, a vast expanse that dazzles the eye.

The patriarch of the Kong family was also beside him, his expression showing a hint of curiosity as he looked around.

The two exchanged information.

Lin Shan then learned that what the Kong family patriarch saw before him was a primeval forest and a clear blue sky, completely different from what he had seen!
"The illusion should be built based on each person's different experiences and thoughts, taking it one step at a time."

The two reached an agreement and chatted as they walked.

During the journey, the patriarch of the Kong family told Lin Shan about the mysteries of the mortal world and the starry sea.

Based on the experience of those who came before, it turns out that there is a mix of truth and falsehood here; some things cannot be taken seriously, while others contain hidden secrets.

The Earth's magnetic field collects all the information in this world and combines it together.

If you happen to interact with the illusion, there is a one in ten thousand chance that the truth will be revealed!
Of course, most of the time it comes from the cultivator's own imagination.

At times, nine parts are false and one part is true, with clues to reality hidden in the absurd and bizarre, but most people find it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

This could very well cost them their lives!

As they were talking,

Linshan discovered that the landform had changed slightly, with a deep ravine and rift valley emerging in the glacier.

"Let's go down and have a look."

The patriarch of the Kong family didn't say much and followed him down.

The ground was covered in ice shards, and the wind blew the icy sand onto my legs with a soft, pattering sound, creating a slight mist.

There were still cracks underfoot, from which wisps of cold air rose.

He walked forward step by step, a sense of familiarity inexplicably rising in his heart.

Until a blurry figure appeared ahead, also moving forward step by step.

Da da da
The crisp sound of footsteps, accompanied by the sound of the wind, echoed through the icy valley. Upon closer inspection...

A tall, slender figure, flowing hair, and a long sword with moon patterns on her back!
It felt like something out of a dream, both hazy and real.

"Ice Moon!"

Lin Shan couldn't help but exclaim.

The person in front paused, then turned around, revealing a surprised expression.

"Brother Lin, what brings you here?"

Lin Shan shook his head. He knew this was an illusion, but for some reason, his mind suddenly became a little sluggish when he saw Shui Bingyue.

The cultivators who stayed at the exit of the Yin-Yang Mysterious Ladder in the Haoran Holy Land once said that only those with the power of the Primordial Spirit can be immune to the influence of the illusion and maintain their original mind. Those below the Primordial Spirit level cannot avoid it. It seems that I cannot escape it in the end. Has the Red Dust Star Sea begun to exert its power?
The patriarch of the Kong family, who was standing nearby, seemed to have seen someone as well. His lips moved slightly as if he were saying something, and his expression showed a hint of surprise.

Lin Shan's vision gradually blurred, then slowly cleared. Shui Bingyue had already come to his side, her face showing concern.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, it's alright, this is..."

"This is where the Ice Soul Inheritance is located. I have been training in the glacier for decades and am about to complete my mission. However, there is a very cunning ice python hiding in the ice valley, scurrying around. I will catch it sooner or later!"

"so."

Lin Shan felt a tightness in his chest, his head was spinning, and for some reason, his spirit felt swollen, with his temples throbbing!
Shui Bingyue frowned slightly.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? How dare you come all the way here by yourself? I really don't know what you were thinking?"

The patriarch of the Kong family standing next to him was completely ignored, as if he didn't exist.

Lin Shan suddenly looked up and instantly became clear-headed.

"The Ice Soul Inheritance?"

"What, you've come here and you still don't know why?"

Shui Bingyue realized that he was seriously ill, so she put her hand over to transfer her true energy into his body to check him, but Lin Shan broke free instantly!

"what are you doing?"

At this moment, his aura erupted like a torrent, startling even the patriarch of the Kong family who was standing nearby, who quickly stepped aside.

"Leader Lin, what's wrong with you? Why are you acting so impulsively?"

Here, their conversations can be heard by each other, but matters of privacy concerning their interactions with the outside world are kept silent—this is the rule of the illusion.

The patriarch of the Kong family, unaware of what had triggered his anger, quickly reassured him to calm down.

Sailor Moon was also baffled.

"I was just checking things out for you, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Shan then realized that he had overreacted. He mainly didn't want others to easily transfer their true energy into his body, as that would put his life in someone else's hands.

"I'm fine. Oh, by the way, you just said you were chasing an ice python?"

"Yes, Brother Lin, have you seen it?"

Sailor Moon didn't hold a grudge about what had just happened. Thinking of this, she felt a surge of pride and her spirits soared!

"If we can catch it, we can obtain the complete Ice Soul Inheritance. Let me tell you, when the Ice Soul Fairy ascended to heaven, the inheritance she left behind was secretly hidden by it."

Seeing that Lin Shan seemed absent-minded, she couldn't help but wave her hand in front of his eyes.

"Hey, are you even listening to me?"

"Look. What's that?"

Lin Shan pointed ahead.

An ice python was moving through the ice valley, its scales reflecting a dazzling light just like the ice surface.

The patriarch of the Confucius family also suddenly noticed it.

"Hey, isn't that the ice python that appeared on the fourth floor?"

The two of them immediately understood each other perfectly!

The illusions that each person sees are invisible to the other.

But if both of them can see it, then it's highly likely that this isn't an illusion, but reality! "Chase!!!"

The two of them rushed forward and, taking advantage of the ice python being alone, defeated the demon in a two-on-one fight. The Yin-Yang Core was in their hands; they had searched high and low for it, and now that it was right in front of them, they might as well take it.

"Hiss, hiss~"

As the ice python was passing through the valley, it suddenly sensed something was wrong behind it. Especially when it saw Lin Shan and the Kong family patriarch, its snake eyes showed a moment of panic, and it quickly and gracefully spun an S-shaped curve to avoid them.

This time, Lin Shan didn't hold back; he went straight for the real deal.

"Wind tunnel space!"

Splash splash splash splash~

The entire ice valley was howling, and countless ice fragments gathered and rolled together, forming a huge wind tunnel hundreds of feet high!
The ice python's body was instantly frozen in place!
It tried to run away but found that it couldn't escape no matter what it did, so it struggled frantically, shaking its head and wagging its tail.

The patriarch of the Kong family surged forward with the surging river water, and the violent water dragon coiled around the snake's body, binding it completely.

Sailor Moon also exclaimed in surprise:
"Great! This beast actually dared to show his face. Brother Lin, help me trap him!"

With that, she waved her hand, and the moon-patterned silver sword was drawn with a clang, slicing through the sky from behind.

The ice python was terrified when it saw Shui Bingyue and struggled even harder to escape. However, in the next moment, a hint of mockery was clearly revealed in its snake eyes.

Ok?
Lin Shan instinctively sensed something was wrong, and suddenly the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end as a life-threatening crisis erupted!
not good!

The Moon-Patterned Silver Sword was the first to strike, aiming directly for his back. His natal spirit treasure, the Wind and Waves Pavilion, rose up in response, but it was easily pierced through the light barrier.

Tear ~

Immediately afterwards, Huang Daolingyun sprang out and blocked the fatal blow for him!
Following behind were two thin, transparent ice snakes that shot towards them at extremely high speeds.

Two bangs.

It directly pierced through the two small holes in Huangdao Lingyun and drilled into his sea of ​​consciousness from the level of his soul!

In an instant, the toxin began to spread and parasitize, parasitizing his consciousness. Two became four, four became eight, and in the blink of an eye, it spread into hundreds, infiltrating in all directions.
"Humph!"

A muffled groan echoed in his sea of ​​consciousness. An ordinary person would be helpless in such a situation, as the divine sense is the weapon that protects the sea of ​​consciousness and even the soul!

Once paralyzed or rendered useless, the sea of ​​consciousness is essentially completely undefended!

You can only let others slaughter you.

However, Lin Shan is a soul cultivator; even without divine consciousness, he still possesses soul essence.

Even the soul infant has a divine light wheel above its head, a soul essence creation produced by the Nascent Soul stage cultivation technique, which directly expands to the entire sea of ​​consciousness, rotating like a millstone.

With a series of crackling sounds, countless small snakes were crushed and smashed.

Occasionally, a few escape the net, but they cannot escape death under the precise elimination of the God-Slaying Flying Knife.

They were quickly wiped out!
Outside, the wind tunnel howls.

Lin Shan turned around without saying a word and looked at Shui Bingyue, whose face was filled with astonishment.

"You're not her. You're in cahoots with the Ice Python. Who are you really???"

"cluck"

This woman smiled charmingly; where was the aloof and cold demeanor she had before, like Sailor Moon?
"Brother Lin, I am Bingyue! How can you doubt me like that?"

The Kong family patriarch next to him shouted, and he was also fighting against the transparent void, seemingly at a disadvantage.

Lin Shan suddenly had an idea.

If the imposter Sailor Moon in front of us is the real Sailor Moon, why can't the patriarch of the Kong family see her?

Could it be that I was under an illusion on the fourth floor from the very beginning, and that this person never existed?
He suddenly understood this crucial point, and when he turned to deal with the ice python, he discovered that the Wind Tunnel Divine Power had only involved a wisp of energy, and the true culprit had already withdrawn and disappeared.

"That ice python."

He vaguely sensed an aura that did not belong to a great supernatural being, as if it were superior, similar to the incarnation of Yuan Nian!

Otherwise, a person with great supernatural powers would not have the ability to calmly withdraw from their own subordinates.

Could it be a powerful primordial spirit who infiltrated from outside the five holy lands?

Only the primordial spirit can be unaffected by the environment and freely enter and exit.

But how did he know about his relationship with Sailor Moon?
Behind him, the beautiful figure, having lost its support, gradually faded from reality to illusion, eventually turning into specks of light and dissipating into the world.

To his surprise, the silver sword with the moon pattern was left behind!
"This is... Bingyue's natal spirit treasure?"

He reached out and grabbed it, immediately assessing the enhancement panel.

【Moon Pattern Silver Sword】(Already bound)
Quality: Innate Spiritual Treasure

Description: Crafted primarily from Moon-patterned Cold Iron and Ice Soul Star Sand, it absorbs moonlight every night, causing the blade to spontaneously condense Yin Ice Crystals, granting it a 200% enhancement to ice-type magical abilities.

Extreme Cold Illusionary Realm: Activating Extreme Cold Illusionary Realm under the full moon state can pull everyone within a ten-mile radius into an illusion woven by the user.

The Cold Moon Shines Together: When a crescent moon appears between the sword master's brows, nine phases of the moon simultaneously manifest on the sword:

① (Crescent Moon Phase): The sword energy splits into nine paths, automatically targeting the enemy;

② (Full Moon Phase): Summons the illusory image of the Moon Palace to suppress all living beings within a hundred miles;
Bond Reciprocation: When the sword is damaged, the sword master takes 80% of the damage.

(Current Sword Master Affiliation: Water Ice Moon 70%, Ice Spirit Illusion Python 30%)
Enhancement requirement: Cannot be enhanced
It really is Sailor Moon's natal spirit treasure!
Looking at the description on the enhancement panel, Lin Shan was greatly shocked.

Sailor Moon's magical treasure was obtained by someone else, and control was even taken over by a shareholder who shared profits, with nearly 30% of it being swallowed up!
It turns out that the full name of that ice python was the Ice Spirit Illusion Python.

He couldn't understand why this demon had deliberately left behind the moon-patterned silver sword.

Could it be that it knows you won't be willing to throw it away and will definitely pick it up and keep it, so it wants to use the sword fight to sense your location?
Thinking about it carefully, it seems reasonable.

Under normal circumstances, if he obtained Sailor Moon's belongings, he would definitely keep them safe and use them to find her in the future. He would never just leave them in the mortal world and ignore them.

They only thought it was Sailor Moon's natal magic weapon, but little did they know that it actually contained a portion of the control of the Ice Spirit Illusion Python!

However, with his enhanced panel appraisal, the intricacies of this matter were immediately apparent.

"Fine, very well. You want to use this blatant move to monitor me at all times? Well, can't I monitor you in return?"

A cold smile appeared on his lips.

He took out the Heavenly Treasure Void Star Disc and sensed it. Two dotted lines, one thick and one thin, hung towards the distant horizon.

The Moon-Patterned Silver Sword has two masters, so both can be sensed from a hazy location.

The thicker line represents Sailor Moon, but it's not within the Raibo Sea's range, so we can only roughly mark its direction.

The thinner one is the Ice Spirit Illusion Python. As long as it is within ten thousand miles, it can be easily located by me at any time!
He didn't act impulsively. This demon's strength was unknown, mysterious and powerful. The key was that its illusionary abilities were further enhanced deep within the mantle, and it could even utilize the mortal star sea. This was simply cheating!
It's not hard to imagine that the other side will definitely stir up trouble everywhere, using its own advantages to create chaos and cause trouble for the five holy lands. It will only make things more muddy, so there's no need for us to deal with it for the time being.

He tried to summon the spirit of the Moon Pattern Silver Sword. Logically speaking, the spirits of spiritual treasures all possess rudimentary intelligence, and might be able to reveal to him what exactly happened to Shui Bingyue.

But no matter what methods he tried, he could not summon the spirit of the artifact, which must have been the work of the Ice Spirit Illusion Python.

Put away the Moon Pattern Silver Sword for now.

Looking up, I saw that the patriarch of the Kong family seemed to be agitated. Just a moment ago, he was fighting the ice python with me. Now, I don’t know what happened in the illusion. He started fighting with thin air again without saying a word!

"Hey, wait a minute, Brother Kong, don't be impulsive."

This time, it was his turn to offer kind words of advice.
