Immortal Road.

Where they don't know.

At the Ghost Valley Holy Land, the Liang Clan Master was panting heavily, his hands trembling, and his chest heaving violently. He watched as "Lin Shan" in the illusion displayed his supernatural powers, acting arrogantly and domineeringly, and actually slaughtered the Ghost Valley army, causing rivers of blood to flow!
Even though he knew it was an illusion, Master Liang still felt short of breath.

He knew that the leader of the Seeking Ancient Sect had hidden strength, but he had no idea that he had hidden so much!

"Leader Lin, you've kept this from me for quite a while! With such strength, why have you been so patient all this time?"

Lin Shan laughed heartily as he walked over step by step, exuding an air of superior disdain.

"Of course, it's for the final fruits of the spiritual tide; what else could it be for?"

"Then what about our previous agreement?"

"Promise?"

A mocking laugh came from above, so grating it was almost unbearable.

"It's one thing for your Ghost Valley Holy Land to cheat and shirk responsibility in the Jade Shattered Cold Pool, but have you ever told me anything about the earth vein essence of the third layer, the Yin-Yang Profound Core of the fourth layer, or the Red Dust Star Sea of ​​the fifth layer?"

"."

Master Liang was speechless for a moment.

In reality, he might be able to offer some excuses.

But this was within his illusion; "Lin Shan" knew everything, which was precisely what their Ghost Valley Holy Land was concealing.

The 20/80 split was a joke back then!

Two percent?

There are no doors!

We'll let you have a taste of the first two levels, but how could you possibly get your hands on the last three?
You think you're worthy of seeking ancient religions?

Even if Master Liang agrees, the entire Ghost Valley Holy Land will not agree; he alone has no say in the matter.

"So, you're not actually planning to rebel in real life, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shan sneered.

"What do you mean by reality? What nonsense are you spouting? Haven't I already rebelled? I'll kill you first today, and the next one will be Grandmaster Duan Tong!"

As he spoke, the suction force of the huge wind tunnel above his head increased exponentially, and the power of his great supernatural abilities surged forth, which Liang, the sect leader, simply could not resist.

This is a person with great supernatural powers!
Enough to completely annihilate him!

He fell in the illusion and he will also sink in reality. Who made him meet "Lin Shan"?
Left with no other choice, he activated the military talisman in his hand, and a pale white light enveloped him, instantly transporting him out of the illusion!

sigh~
A halo appeared behind him, and he was drenched in sweat.

"Brother!"

"Pulse head!"

"what happened to you?"

Outside were many disciples of the Ghost Valley Holy Land. Upon seeing him, they all gathered around, wondering what had happened to him inside.

His junior brother, Huiming, with his sharp eyes, noticed the white military token in his senior brother's hand.

"Senior brother, why did you use the protective talisman that the Grand Elder gave you before he left? What kind of danger forced you to use your primordial spirit power to escape?"

Master Liang sighed.

Recalling the terrifying scene just now, he realized that this was exactly the worry that had been in his heart all along, which was amplified infinitely when he entered the illusion.

He wanted to share his experiences, but he was afraid it would affect morale and cause panic and instability among his disciples.

The key question is, what if everyone becomes fearful because of what I said, and ends up encountering the Ancient Seeker in the illusion?
As the saying goes, what you fear most is what happens!
Illusions are presented based on people's joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness. The fewer worries you have in your heart, the better. You should not say this out loud.

He didn't know if it was true or not that the leader of the Xun Gu Sect was a great supernatural being, but his disciples wouldn't be able to withstand him.

After all, they didn't have the power of their primordial spirit to protect them.
The fourth level: the Inhumans.

"According to the rules, the Bear Clan is not allowed to take the Yin-Yang Mysterious Ladder to the mortal world and the starry sea."

The alien guarding the fifth-level gate stopped Xiong Shan directly, sniffed with disdain, and fanned himself with his hand in disgust.

"Look at you! You're as slovenly as a bastard raised by a stepmother. You dare to come here to visit? Get out, get out!"

Xiong Shan was pushed so hard that he stumbled and almost tumbled down the Yin-Yang Mysterious Ladder.

A flash of rage crossed his eyes.

I never imagined that the Inhumans were so barbaric, even exhibiting racial discrimination!
Does wearing a bearskin mean I'm no longer one of our own?
"Calm down, don't get into a conflict with them. Let's go downstairs and think of a solution."

Within the Star Palace, the Silent Avatar secretly transmitted a message, leaving Xiong Shan no choice but to climb the ladder down again without uttering a word.

The guards of various tribes at the gate laughed heartily, mocking his overestimation of his abilities.

Without any background or strength, you still want to join the fun on the fifth floor?

After all, they themselves can only guard the gate, so naturally they won't let anyone else through casually.

after come back.

Xiong Shan was filled with resentment.

"Brother Jiemie, these alien races are truly despicable. They have the Yin-Yang Mystic Ladder perfectly fine, yet they won't let the Bear Clan use it. What should we do next?"

"Don't rush. Even if they guard against thieves for a thousand days, there will always be a loophole to exploit."

The Annihilation Avatar emerged from the Star Palace.

"If there are no vulnerabilities, we'll create them! Won't that just cause more trouble?"

Just then, shouts of battle erupted from all directions.

The various holy lands on the fourth level are locked in a fierce battle, each trying to create trouble for their opponent. And look what happened! Speak of the devil, and he appears!
The Annihilation Avatar began to destroy from the inside, taking out the Bone Banner and shaking it wildly, sending out hordes of bone armies to fight.

In a dramatic transformation, the White Bone Demon Lord reappears!

A tall, skeletal king rose shakily, holding a curved scythe, and pierced a large hole in the earth's veins.

Gurgle gurgle gurgle~~

The surging black mud from the mantle poured in, revealing just the tip of the iceberg of this great battle.

The mortal world and the starry sea.

After the first two waves of illusions, Lin Shan and the Kong family patriarch were exhausted.

They first focused on restoring their cultivation and condition before continuing along the route of the Vast Sacred Land.

The third halo in front of us is orange and even larger than the first two!
The patriarch of the Kong family was extremely cautious.

"The larger the aperture, is it possible that the illusion inside will become more dangerous? Leader Lin, we need to think of a way to help each other in critical moments."

Lin Shan's heart tightened as well.

To be honest, encountering the true form of the Holy Lord of Penglai on only the second hurdle was truly an eye-opening experience for him!
I doubt there could be a more terrifying crisis in this world.

This aperture is even larger than that one; he really can't imagine how dangerous it could be.
So many people have to pass through here, how do they get through it? Is this mortal world and starry sea specifically targeting me?
"How can we help each other? Apart from being able to see each other, we don't know what the other is going through, let alone affect anything in the other's illusion."

That's true, but the patriarch of the Confucius family really had some ideas.

"We can't affect anything within each other's illusions, but we can directly affect each other's physical bodies!" "Oh? You mean..."

Lin Shan stroked his chin, somewhat understanding his thoughts.

"For example, in the last illusion, I was trapped in the Earth's core, being melted and roasted. Luckily, I managed to get out on my own. If I hadn't, wouldn't I have turned to ashes? If Master Lin had been willing to lend a hand then, he could have taken me out of the illusion."

The patriarch of the Kong family gave an embarrassed dry laugh.

You know what, this idea is actually theoretically feasible!

"In order to protect the bait cultivated by the luring Star Cocoon and prevent them from dying prematurely in the illusion ahead, the major holy lands will definitely have powerful beings of the Primordial Spirit level personally guarding them. The simplest and most direct method is to lead them through the trials!"

This method has its advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that it loses such a good training ground as the Red Dust Star Sea.

Where else can you find such a realistic, immersive training ground where you can feel the threat of life and death?
Among them, the wonders of heaven and earth formed by the interaction and convergence of world consciousness, the earth's magnetic field and meteor energy, each level is a great tempering of one's state of mind!
Putting everything else aside, the fact that Lin Shan was able to successfully escape from the clutches of the Holy Lord of Penglai in the second illusion is a remarkable achievement!

Where in reality can you find such a good simulation opportunity?
If you encounter this situation again, there's no need to panic, because you've already rehearsed it once.

Although the Holy Lord of Penglai spent 128 points of Ancient Charm on movement techniques in advance, it was as if he had been given a sparring partner, personally testing the escape ability of this great divine power, as well as the combination of various skills in life-or-death situations.

The patriarch of the Kong family also understood this principle. His original intention in coming to the Red Dust Star Sea was to improve himself, but wouldn't it be better to insure himself at an earlier level?

Lin Shan nodded in agreement. The two of them were now in the same boat and should indeed help each other.

"We'll see. Just let us know if you need anything, if we have the capacity."

Honestly, in the last illusion, I didn't have the extra energy to take care of the Kong family patriarch. I was almost being chased to the point of having nowhere to go by the Penglai Holy Lord. How could I possibly take you with me?

Now that they were about to enter the illusion again, they were filled with anxiety, feeling that their lives were in danger, but after thinking about it, they still gritted their teeth and went in.

Passing through the ripples, the world spins.

The scene before me changed in an instant!
sigh~
"you're awake."

Lin Shan felt a splitting headache and something uncomfortable under his body, as if he were lying on something.

He got up and took a look.

Is this a cabin?
He looked up abruptly, the sound of rapid typing on keyboards filling the air, the huge control display screen, the panoramic skylight overhead, the rings of blue spotlights, and the densely packed control consoles.
Every now and then, people in military uniforms would walk around carrying folders.

Void Battleship!

Zhang Yunxi stood right beside him, smiling sweetly at him.

Unlike her previous classic goose-patterned outfits, this time she wore a clean and refreshing look, with a loose casual jacket and long trousers, bringing back a feeling of returning to her past life.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, perhaps we don't need to address you as such anymore. Since we're no longer in the world of immortals, I'll just call you Little Lin!"

"??!"

Not in the world of immortals?

What's the meaning!
Lin Shan didn't have time to argue with the girl about how to address her. He suddenly got up and ran to the nearby glass observation window. Looking at the vast starry universe outside, a blue star slowly rotated, and memories of his past life swept over him!
This is me.
Back on Earth?!

The sound of footsteps approached from behind. Zhang Yunxi walked up behind him and joined him in admiring the beautiful scenery.

"What a beautiful planet! This is our home, don't you think, Xiaolinzi?"

Lin Shan was completely shocked.

His mind was blank at this moment, and he didn't have the time to think about whether this was an illusion. All sorts of past moments flooded his mind, as if he had returned to his previous life and had never traveled through time.

I stared at it blankly for a long time.

Looking back at Zhang Yunxi now, it feels like just yesterday that we parted ways.

I thought we would never see each other again, or even ever again in this lifetime, but I never expected to meet again so quickly in this illusion.

“So fast”

"What so fast?"

Zhang Yunxi reached out her hand and waved it in front of him to try and bring him back to his senses.

"When I found you, you were unconscious in a crater on the far side of the moon. This place is so far away from the immortal world, and there is an extraterrestrial battlefield in between. Tell me how you got here."

"I"

Lin Shan couldn't explain how he got there; it was arranged by the illusion, so he just considered it a time travel.

"My head hurts so much, I don't remember what happened, ah!"

"."

Zhang Yunxi watched him pretend to have amnesia quietly, and could only smile helplessly.

"Fine, whatever you want. It's okay if you don't want to talk about it, it's not important."

The words had barely left his mouth when, just as he was about to introduce something, the outside world suddenly changed drastically. Inside the void warship, red alarm lights began to flash, and a piercing siren instantly shattered the order.

The hundreds of people at the control panel suddenly became agitated, looking around frantically.

Rumble!
A loud bang came from the outside, followed by the void warship shaking violently. Everyone inside lost their footing and began to slip, grabbing whatever they could get their hands on. Some people crawled under the platform to hide.

Lin Shan had a "I knew it" look on his face.

You definitely won't learn too much detail in the illusion, especially what happened when Zhang Yunxi came back here. If you start talking about it, something will definitely happen and you'll be interrupted!
"Don't panic! Everyone to your positions, take control of the warships. What have I been teaching you?"

Zhang Yunxi shouted, ignoring Lin Shan, and went to the center console, pressing buttons haphazardly.

Upon investigation, no enemies were found in the surrounding area.

But deep in the distant starry sky, the truth gradually emerged. Suddenly, a blue wave shot out from the darkness, piercing through the entire Milky Way in the blink of an eye, and hitting the void warship again without missing a beat!
Click click click.
The defense module was destroyed, and the energy pool emptied instantly, but they couldn't even see who the enemy was.

"Captain, the warship is 81% damaged. Another attack will cause it to explode!"

"Abandon ship!"

Zhang Yunxi gave the order without hesitation.

The people inside returned to their seats, and then the floor beneath them cracked open, revealing the universe outside. A spacesuit instantly enveloped their bodies, and then their seats, like a landing capsule, ejected them and began to crash-land on the blue star in front of them!

Lin Shan was also pressed into a seat, and Zhang Yunxi immediately fastened his seatbelt. Then she slammed the backrest button, and a huge thrust came from behind, causing the footwell to open.

The whole thing started like a space crash landing!

"Yunxi? Yunxi?"

He had just seen Zhang Yunxi and hadn't even had a chance to say anything when he was about to say goodbye in this way.

next moment!
Another laser beam shot out from the dark universe, completely dissolving the void warship into dust.

He wanted to do something but was powerless to do so, because that energy was far too powerful for him to contend with.

They could only watch helplessly as Zhang Yunxi was submerged.

But that wasn't the end of it; in the next instant...

His mind was racing, a deep, surging energy locking onto him, filling his entire body with a chilling aura.

A mysterious blue light shone once again from the depths of the starry sky!
