Immortal Road.

"Don't touch me! So this is the truth of what happened back then. I'm going to kill this traitor today!"

The patriarch of the Kong family had bloodshot eyes, clearly having been reminded of painful memories. Regardless of whether it was true or not, he insisted on making a forceful move to indulge himself in the illusion.

After three breaths, he calmed down and let out a long sigh.

"happy!"

Under Lin Shan's watchful gaze, although the old man's cultivation level hadn't changed, he could sense that his realm had improved!

"The regrets of the past are now history, and I can make up for them in this illusion. It is a wish fulfilled. It is truly worthy of the mortal world and the starry sea."

Unexpectedly, the patriarch of the Kong family seemed to have benefited from this aerial battle, feeling clear-headed and relaxed.

Legend has it that the mortal world and starry sea are both hardships and trials, and if one can pass through them, it will greatly improve one's mental cultivation.

"Is there such a good thing?"

Lin Shan's eyes widened, a hint of resentment rising in his heart for the Ice Python's meddling, which had ruined his experience in the illusion.

The two continued on their way and emerged from this illusion.

After the eyelids shifted, a bright silver halo hung behind me, and ahead lay a smooth road, with the maglev highway stretching into the distance.

Along the way, you can see many disciples of the Vast Holy Land sitting cross-legged on the tracks taking a nap.

They had all just emerged from that bright silver halo, experienced different illusions, and gained something in varying degrees, and were now making the most of their time to process it.

Although the Earth's mantle is vast and boundless, and the fifth layer of the Red Dust Star Sea is even more endless, the magnetic levitation rail beneath the seat still carries the person on it forward at high speed, even if the person is not moving.

In other words, once you get here, there's no turning back; you'll just be pushed forward indefinitely!

Lin Shan and the Kong family patriarch watched quietly. The first and second halos were far apart. Although there were disciples in twos and threes along the way, the total number was not small. In fact, the second halo was still continuously spitting out people.

Looking at other paths, and even further afield, one can imagine that other holy sites are also making difficult progress.

According to the virtual star compass, the ice python had already left this path and gone to other places.

For a powerful being of the primordial spirit level

Most illusions cannot affect them, so they can move freely back and forth and easily return to the starting point to choose a new route.

This guy is probably the real troublemaker. I wonder what his purpose is in coming to Leibo Sea. Could it be that he also has his eye on the Wuxiang Star Cocoon?

"The location of the hidden Star Cocoon is not fixed, but since the Vast Holy Land has determined that the final rendezvous point is that blue circle, it should be inside without a doubt."

The patriarch of the Kong family carefully transmitted his voice, fearing that others might overhear him.

"This thing is formless and intangible, making it difficult to discover and capture. It will only unconsciously attract those who are destined to be with it. That is why the major holy lands send so many disciples in on a large scale."

"Given the large population base, there will always be a few destined individuals who, through a combination of luck, attributes, timing, and karma, happen to attract the Cocoon of the Formless Star, greatly increasing their chances!"

"But it's essentially a gamble, and it's said that the major holy sites have secretly cultivated some bait."

"Bait?"

Lin Shan felt a sense of crisis upon hearing this word, and his heart grew heavy.

"What kind of bait method?"

The patriarch of the Kong family had an inscrutable expression, which flickered under the illumination of the various halos above his head and in the distance.

"Based on the characteristics of the Formless Star Cocoon, they specially created a group of disciples who matched its attributes and made them the focus of their training."

"Then, based on the blueprint of True Monarch Yuxing from ten thousand years ago, the best candidate was found!"

"No one can explain why True Monarch Yuxing was able to gain the favor of the Formless Star Cocoon, which is why all the holy lands are vying to imitate him."

"Their goal is to lure the Formless Star Cocoon out, so that a powerful being of the Primordial Spirit or a great supernatural being can capture it personally."

"In contrast, there are only two of us. Statistically, in a sea of ​​people, it's like finding a needle in a haystack."

"."

Lin Shan was not discouraged by Fei Fan's words; instead, he felt a faint sense of anticipation.

Yu Xing Zhenjun?

No matter what, I'm still a pseudo-celestial body, right?
The Eyes of the Stars that Break Through Illusions were obtained from the Jade Star's Secret Treasury.

The Crimson Falling Meteor Technique was passed down in the Jade Star Secret Treasury.

Does the star-shaped destiny count as a harbinger of misfortune?
So, it seems I actually meet the requirements for True Lord Yuxing!

The person who might be more suitable than him is Zi Chengqian, but he was eliminated by him in the last spiritual tide.

Who else can compare to themselves?

However, this is just wishful thinking. I know that the five holy lands are full of talented people, and among so many people, there may actually be many who are more suitable than me in terms of qualifications.

Putting aside everything else, Xing Jinshu, the concubine of True Lord Yuxing and the behind-the-scenes ancestor of the Star Palace of the Alien Race, might be stronger than herself!

She herself is an ancient star spirit, and a powerful primordial spirit at that. The formless star cocoon can be a bit mischievous when it runs to other people, but if it runs to her, it's like throwing a meat bun to a dog—it's gone forever!
Moreover, Xing Jinshu knows Yu Xing Zhenjun very well. Not to mention how to play and imitate him, it would be a piece of cake to train a few juniors who look very similar to Yu Xing Zhenjun.

The patriarch of the Kong family was right. There were only two of them, and no powerful forces behind them. The probability of finding the Formless Star Cocoon in the mortal world on their own was indeed not high.

So, the ice python was all alone. What were its plans and intentions?

"Let's take it one step at a time. The Star Cocoon of No Form is most likely not meant for us."

The patriarch of the Kong family sighed. In fact, he had no hope to begin with. He had failed to obtain the Yin-Yang Profound Core. Coming to the Red Dust Star Sea was merely to fulfill his promise to Lin Shan and to take this opportunity to temper his mind.

Lin Shan doesn't think so!
He came here specifically to lay the foundation for his primordial spirit; how could he be content to just be a bystander?

"Is there really no special way to encounter the Cocoon of the Formless Star?"

Seeing his persistence, the patriarch of the Kong family could only smile and comfort him.

"Man proposes, God disposes; perhaps such an opportunity will just fall into your lap!"

The two floated on the magnetic levitation track for half a day before finally arriving at the second aperture.

The halo was blood red, illuminating the nearby road and everyone else with a sickly flushed appearance. Except for their eyes, their noses and mouths were blurred and hidden by the strong light.

And its size is more than twice that of the first aperture.

Upon entering, Lin Shan's vision changed; two figures appeared simultaneously!

"Brother, you've arrived."

"Cock-a-doodle-doo~" Lin Fan and Chicken Bro!
He was slightly taken aback. This mortal world was so simple and brutal, assigning him his closest people right away.

This illusion was incredibly realistic, surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, with birds singing and cicadas chirping. There was a gravel path nearby, and a large mound with three ancient demonic characters written on it.

Lin Shan recognized him; he had seen him before.

Peacock Valley.

This is the residence of the Peacock Royal Family in the Luosong Mountains, and Chicken Brother's base camp.

His two good brothers pulled him into the valley, chatting and laughing, their arms around each other's shoulders.

"It's rare for you to come back alone, brother. We must treat you well. We'll drink until we drop tonight!"

Lin Shan nodded repeatedly.

If the illusion were filled with scenes like this, then honestly, that wouldn't be bad, since I've been missing them too.

The Kong family patriarch was with him, but he couldn't see Lin Fan and Brother Chicken. Instead, he was talking to himself in the air, and no one could hear him clearly.

We walked all the way into the valley.

Brother Chicken instructed the little demons to prepare food and drink, and a table was filled with food. The three brothers drank heartily.

The patriarch of the Kong family was also sitting nearby, but he was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, as if he had suddenly started cultivating for some unknown reason.

Chicken Brother flapped his wings and asked Lin Shan what he had been doing lately.

He was just about to answer truthfully when he suddenly realized that this was an illusion after all, and what if he accidentally revealed it?
So I'll just give a brief overview of how I led the Xun Gu Sect to fight alongside the Ghost Valley Holy Land in the Lingchao Campaign.

When Lin Fan heard that the Ghost Valley Holy Land was withholding its share, he slammed his fist on the table and stood up angrily, cursing as if he himself had been wronged!
"Brother, how can you still associate with such a treacherous force? If it were me, I would have rebelled long ago!"

Chicken Bro was so angry that he roared to the sky and even slapped a passing dog twice!
Lin Shan looked closely and recognized the spotted puppy. It seemed to be a primordial spirit embryo that he had found in Ludong years ago. It was later hatched at Jiuyue Peak in Chu Kingdom and then brought back to the demon race by Brother Chicken.

After all these years, he still looks like a pushover, getting beaten up by Brother Chicken at the drop of a hat, creating a chaotic and unbearable scene.

"Alas, this is a helpless move. After all, the Ghost Valley Holy Land is too powerful for me to resist."

He didn't want to talk too much about himself, so he turned to ask the two of them how they had been doing lately.

Lin Fan and Brother Chicken were beaming as they said that with the help of the Red Lotus Ancestor, they had made rapid progress and had become the two unparalleled talents of the Falling Pine Mountains!
Since escaping his predicament, the Red Lotus Ancestor has established a front in the Song Dynasty to block the westward expansion of the Penglai Holy Land, effectively choking off its exit and leaving Penglai with a thorn in its side.

Over the years, the two sides have fought each other with varying degrees of victory and defeat. For a time, the Red Lotus Ancestor became famous, attracting greetings from many Venerables of the Demon Clan.

Speaking of recent setbacks in Penglai, the three of them were in high spirits and drank heartily!

Before they knew it, the moon was high in the sky, and their shadows stretched out long. The little demons beside them were still carrying wine jars and fruit baskets on their heads, all of them drowsy.

Suddenly, a large number of streaks of light flew down from the sky!

A loud laugh shook the heavens.

Lin Fan and Brother Chicken instantly sobered up and looked up to find themselves flying into the sky.

"Who dares to act so presumptuously in my Fallen Pine Alliance?"

Before he could finish speaking, the leader flicked his fingers twice, knocking him to the ground!
Lin Shan looked closely and realized, "Isn't this the Holy Lord of Penglai?"

"Hahahaha, the Red Lotus Demon has been slain! You demons, why don't you surrender now!"

The Holy Lord of Penglai launched a surprise attack in the dead of night, leading his disciples to launch a massive invasion, catching the area completely off guard.

Lin Fan got up, wiped his mouth, and told those around him not to panic.

The Crimson Lotus Ancestor is stationed in the Grass and Wood Territory of the Reed Demon King. It won't be long since he arrived here. As long as he can hold on, he will be able to wait for rescue!

However, the Holy Lord of Penglai in the heavens seemed to know what they were waiting for, and directly revealed his head!
It was none other than the head of the Red Lotus Ancestor!
Before Lin Shan could even ponder whether the Red Lotus Ancestor, as a lotus spirit, truly possessed a head, Lin Fan and Brother Chicken beside him were already weeping bitterly with red eyes!
"Ancestor, you died such a tragic death!"

"Waaaaah, oh dear!"

They were crying so hard that when they saw Lin Shan standing there unmoved, they jumped up and questioned him.

"Why don't you cry when our ancestor has been killed?"

Lin Shan knew this was an illusion, so there was nothing to cry about. However, in order to fit in, he had no choice but to pretend to cry as well.

"Ancestor, you died a terrible death."

He pretended to wipe away his tears, feeling as if he were cursing the Red Lotus Ancestor. He didn't believe that the Holy Lord of Penglai could kill the Red Lotus Ancestor in reality, but for some reason, a sense of worry welled up in his heart.

They even began to have slight doubts: could the situation in the Song Dynasty outside really be on the verge of collapse?
Lin Fan and Brother Chicken may cry, but they're truly ready to help when needed!
The disciples of Penglai, swarming like locusts, rained down on the Peacock Royal Family, sparking a series of bloody battles between humans and demons, before flying straight up to the sky and pouncing on the Holy Lord of Penglai.

"You two juniors have quite the nerve! Today I'll send you both to your deaths, to join Honglian in the afterlife!"

Lin Shan listened to the booming sounds from below. The night was extremely noisy, with shouts of battle all around, making him feel as if he were actually there.

He didn't understand the meaning of this illusion, or the mechanism and principle of the mortal world and star sea, but when he suddenly saw the Holy Lord of Penglai displaying great power in a fight against two opponents, he was also looking at him intentionally or unintentionally.

Just as he realized something was wrong, the other party suddenly abandoned Lin Fan and Brother Chicken and swooped down to attack him!
"It was you and that girl who plotted that conspiracy and ruined my Penglai's plans. Today, I, the Holy Lord, will hold you accountable!"

"!!!"

Lin Shan was dumbfounded, and a pressure even greater than when he faced the ice python last time rushed towards him!

He had a premonition that even in the illusion, if he was injured, he would be injured in reality, and if he died, he would die in reality!

But we don't know what other people's illusions are like, so why does his illusion immediately present a formidable enemy to the primordial spirit?!

Is this going to kill me?
There was no time to dodge, and he was forced to take the attack. He threw out the Yellow Turban Warrior and activated the precious Star Element Module to fight the Holy Lord of Penglai.

The patriarch of the Kong family, standing nearby, remained oblivious, sitting there in deep meditation. The divine powers of the Penglai Saint Lord swept over him like a gentle breeze, posing no threat whatsoever.

Even with the help of the Yellow Turban Warriors, Lin Shan was still no match for a top power in this world like the Holy Lord of Penglai!

Fortunately, Lin Fan and Brother Chicken were there. The three brothers worked together and, being powerful cultivators, managed to hold them off. Even so, if it weren't for the Yellow Turban Warriors at the front, none of them could withstand their attack.

"This isn't a manifestation of Yuan Nian, this is the true form of the Holy Lord of Penglai?"

Lin Shan grew increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed. The Penglai Saint Lord in the illusion had actually appeared in his true form, and his combat power was simply beyond the heavens!
I'm afraid that even if other Nascent Soul stage cultivators came, they would all perish on the spot.

"This mortal world is targeting me! Why arrange such an opponent right from the start? This doesn't make sense. Who could survive in this situation?"

Despite the immense pressure, he exerted all his strength, even using his two Dharma forms, Thunder Pool and Calamity Star, and still felt overwhelmed.

Until one moment a guess welled up in my mind:
"If I can kill the Holy Lord of Penglai in the illusion, what benefit will I gain?"
