Immortal Road.

Outside the main gate of the Xun Gu Sect's camp.

As Yanxi Divine Lord, Liang Mai Master, Qian Bu, and the army of the Ghost Valley Holy Land gradually disappeared into the distance, the members of the Xun Gu Sect slowly surrounded them.

"Master, the Supreme Elder of the Ghost Valley Holy Land seemed to be plotting to make a move just as you were slaying the Ice Python. This person may be as fickle as Qian Bu in the future!"

Lin Shan nodded slightly. If his subordinates could see it, how could he not?

The fact that Yanxi Shenjun was able to suppress Liang Maizhu and support Qianbu shows that he greatly admired and even agreed with Qianbu in some aspects. The two may have something in common in their way of dealing with people, which can be seen from just one interaction!
However, there is no major conflict between the Xun Gu Sect and the Gui Gu Holy Land at present. I was able to participate in Lei Bo Hai openly and legitimately because of favorable circumstances, so there is no need to break off relations.

"Lord Yanxi is a scheming man who lacks decisiveness, and though he is fierce in appearance, he is cowardly. If the Ice Python had still been alive, he would have acted decisively and ruined my grand plan! But unfortunately, he missed his chance."

This is related to the personality, age, and circumstances of some people. Yanxi Shenjun is old and has a large family in the Ghost Valley Holy Land behind him, so he hesitates and is indecisive, which allows Lin Shan to kill the Ice Python without external interference.

This kind of person will probably be replaced by Qian Bu in the future—no, it won't be long!
Given his eldest son's character of "not wanting to remain subservient to others for long," it's obvious that upon returning to the Ghost Valley Holy Land, he would launch a series of power-grabbing actions.

If they encounter difficulties inside, they might have to ask their godfather outside for help!
Thinking of this, a look of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

As for the journey of the Pure Lotus Hermit, it was temporarily put on hold, because the Ice Python said before it died that Water Ice Moon might really be in big trouble!

Therefore, he had no choice but to go there in person after the spiritual tide ended to see what the situation was like.

Next, the various holy sites in Leibo Sea gradually withdrew.

After the handover with the Ghost Valley Holy Land, the Xun Gu Sect escorted the compensated resources back to the surface and then marched in a grand procession to western Shandong.

Before their departure, the various factions in Lu met up with each other. After all, they had been in a standoff underground for more than a decade and had become somewhat familiar with each other.

The patriarch of the Kong family bowed from afar and exchanged a smile with Lin Shan.

No one else knows about the fact that the two joined forces in the Red Dust Star Sea. The only one who was aware of it, the Ice Python, has already been killed.

"Master Lin, after I return, I will also need to work on the matter of my primordial spirit. This seclusion may last for decades or even centuries. The future of the Lu Kingdom will depend on your Ancient Seeking Sect."

He had already heard the news that Lin Shan had become a Nascent Soul cultivator and was shocked by how fast it had happened. Just a few years ago, he was a great supernatural being like him, and in the blink of an eye, he had become a Nascent Soul cultivator!

Of course, he had witnessed Lin Shan snatching the Wuxiang Star Cocoon, so he could accept it.

The patriarch Yingrong of Jingyang Academy has had a very low profile over the years, and Lin Shan did not tell Shui Bingyue about her current situation, so as not to make her worry in vain. He only asked about the information related to the Ice Soul Inheritance, since he would go there himself in the future anyway.

As for the Starfall True Lord of the Starry Sky Society and the Green Ivy of the Ephemeral Flower Society, they also came to pay their respects, knowing that the State of Lu would definitely be under the control of the powerful Primordial Spirit Master of the Ancient Search Sect in the future, and that it was the right way to submit and become a subject as soon as possible.

As for the Tai Xuan Holy Land? Anyway, the spiritual tide is over, and their days of working for others are over. It's time to recognize a new big brother!

Amidst the adulation of many, the Ancient Seeking Sect rose to prominence, seemingly emerging as the ultimate victor in the spiritual tide.

After all of them left.

The Spring and Autumn Sword Sect team was the last to come out of preparation. Everyone's eyes were bloodshot with fatigue, and their expressions were low and listless.

"Holy Lord, are we just going to let them leave so easily?"

Lan Jian Venerable Ping Shuang questioned Minghuang Sword Master, his eyes flashing with murderous intent as he looked at the Xun Gu Sect's group.

"Otherwise, are we supposed to go up there and fight to the death? The Ancient Seeking Sect Master has already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and he just killed an Ice Python of the same level a few days ago. Who can handle him? Why don't you go?"

"I"

Orchid Sword Venerable fell silent. She wouldn't dare to go if she were really asked to; she just wanted Sword Master Minghuang to step forward.

"Alright, let's leave it at that. The spiritual tide has ended, and we've already made a huge profit by obtaining a Formless Star Cocoon. Let's call it a day. By the way, how's it going with your task of leading everyone to find Zhong Shenxiu's whereabouts?"

"Without any clues, we've searched every single one of the five levels of Leibo Sea, including returning to the Red Dust Star Sea, but we still haven't found a trace of him. I suspect he's no longer in Leibo Sea."

At this point, he couldn't help but turn around and glance at his niece.

The Sunflower Fairy stood on the lake, gazing intently at the water below, seemingly still waiting for her lover's return.

Her pitiful appearance evoked pity in many male disciples of the Spring and Autumn Sword Sect, who all hated Zhong Shenxiu, that heartless man!
"Zhong Lang, why haven't you come back yet? I'll never call you Xiu'er again. Please come back. How can I live without you?"

Well, I never expected him to be such a love-struck fool!

The Venerable Lan Jian, Ping Shuang, standing nearby, couldn't stand this and was furious.

"Holy Lord, the leader of the Xun Gu Cult drove Zhong Shenxiu mad, causing him to run away from home and disappear without a trace. Are we really going to swallow this insult?"

The Sword Master of Minghuang remained calm and composed, his expression as still as a deep well.

"Maybe he's not crazy, maybe it's all part of a plan, who can say for sure?"

As he watched the sunset over Leibo Sea, its reflection shimmering on the water, casting a golden veil over the world, he thought of something.

"By the way, what about the Nascent Soul stage cultivation technique 'White Hair and Bright Spirit Scripture' that was transferred from the Holy Land a few days ago? Did you distribute it to the two of them?"

"Already given."

"What about the Star Power Technique, the Star Marrow Nirvana Sutra?"

"They gave it to me too."

"Oh, that's not surprising."

The Holy Lord Minghuang nodded, a slight smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, though it was unclear whether it was a mocking smile or a bitter one.

"Good lad"

Above the stars beyond the realm.

Here, the cold wind howls, the glaciers stretch endlessly, and in the extreme cold, not a single blade of grass grows; the desolate and icy landscape is utterly silent.

Beneath a statue of a female immortal with a sword on her back, standing on a snow leopard, a huge crack opened up, revealing a bottomless chasm!
Inside, a giant python, stretching for hundreds of miles, suddenly awakens.

The entire star began to tremble, with ice shards bouncing and tumbling down, and the wind and snow howling and roaring.

"Damn it! My primordial spirit avatar, which I've been building up for so long, has suddenly perished! Who did this?! They're asking for death!!!"

This strange phenomenon lasted for a long time before gradually weakening.

A deep female voice rang out.

"Hehe, it seems your idea of ​​using the ice-melting stone to escape will have to be postponed for who knows how long."

The ice python thrashed about, stirring the glacier with a crackling sound that was utterly terrifying. "Water Ice Moon, the restrictions left by the Ice Soul Fairy can protect you for a time, but not forever! Just wait, I am about to be born, and the first thing I'll do is devour you!"

Inside the Ice Soul Statue, Water Ice Moon was hidden inside the Snow Leopard's belly. This place contained the Ice Soul Fairy's restrictions and was where she received her inheritance.

However, in order to receive the inheritance, she was trapped here and could not escape. Once she went out, she would be captured by the ice python. The area within a hundred miles was the territory of this demon, where she could basically exert 100% of her strength. It was a true primordial spirit demon!

"It's alright, I'll wait for you to get out of trouble. Then we'll see who wins and who loses."

"Oh?"

The ice python hissed, flicking its tongue, and blinked its enormous eyes beneath the glacier, revealing a mocking smile.

"You don't actually think you're a match for me, do you? Or are you waiting for that kid to come and rescue you? Putting aside whether he dares to come, even if he did, how would he find this place?"

Shui Bingyue opened her eyes. Her entire body was frozen solid, as if she had been frozen for hundreds or thousands of years.

"Do you know that your biggest mistake was taking the Moon Pattern Silver Sword with you?"

"Huh? What happened to that sword?"

The ice python suddenly sensed something was wrong; it seemed it had really done something stupid.

Is it
Luxi Tianfu Mountain.

Inside the Xun Gu Sect, in a secret chamber.

Lin Shan looked at the moon-patterned silver sword in his hand, permeating it with his divine essence, and finally deciphered a hidden trick within it.

shuh~~
A shimmering, phantom light projected, revealing an ice mirror in the secret chamber.

The world in the mirror contains glaciers, stars, and void. The route is hidden and bizarre, and you will travel through various dangerous secret realms. Every wrong step will lead to complete loss of your way!
"Is this... the roadmap for the Ice Soul Inheritance?"

He looked surprised; Sailor Moon had indeed left a backup plan!

As the scene shifts, an altar appears on the mirror, where Sailor Moon is receiving her inheritance inside the Ice Fairy statue, while an ice python struggles and threatens below, creating a lifelike scene as if it were actually happening!

Lin Shan breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing this.

It seems that Sailor Moon is not in mortal danger yet. Things haven't gotten to the worst point, so there's still time to salvage the situation.

After some thought, since the main body is currently focused on advancing the primordial spirit in Zabagong's area, this primordial spirit avatar does not need to be stationed in Xun Gu Sect for the time being.

After all, he had become famous in the battle of Lei Bohai, and it wouldn't be long before he would come into the sights of the major holy lands. No one should dare to make a move against the Xun Gu Sect.

Taking this opportunity, rescuing Sailor Moon is the most important thing.

However, while this Yuan Nian avatar can suppress the Ice Python avatar, whether it can fight against the Ice Python's true form remains to be seen!
After all, she was a powerful demon spirit who had lived for countless years, a venerable figure from the era of the Ice Soul Fairy, while I had only just broken through, and there was a significant gap between us in terms of realm.

To increase your win rate, you'll need to make additional preparations.

With that in mind, he immediately set off south, breaking through the void to travel and leaving the State of Lu.

Seven days later, it descended upon the Song Dynasty.

The Luosong Mountains, with their sea of ​​red maple forests, have now become the front line of resistance against the East China Sea. They were personally established by the Red Lotus Ancestor and have gathered all the demon races and the cultivation world of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zixiao Sect, Qianyun Pavilion, and Beast Taming Valley all joined in, but they were basically in a supporting role. The real main force was the Luosong Demon Clan.

After arriving here, Lin Shan first paid his respects to the Red Lotus Ancestor.

The Crimson Lotus Ancestor was overjoyed to see him and laughed heartily.
"The spiritual tide has just passed, and you've already transformed into a primordial spirit and even gained the ability to walk with your primordial thought avatar. Not bad, not bad. It seems you'll be able to roam freely across the continent in the future."

"It's all thanks to your blessing, Ancestor, the pills left by Yunxi, and the help of the great demon Qu Gong, otherwise it wouldn't have been so fast."

"Ha ha ha ha."

When the Red Lotus Ancestor thought of Zhang Yunxi, he couldn't help but sigh repeatedly. He really didn't know how this girl was doing now, after all, she was his successor.

Lin Shan also sometimes wondered if she had already followed the extraterrestrial demons' void fleet back to her homeland from her previous life.

I saw the planet I had been away from for so long, the city where I was born, and the streets and alleys of my childhood memories.
These were things I had longed for day and night in the years after I traveled through time, but as time went by, I gradually came to terms with reality and gave up my unrealistic fantasies.

The laughter of the Red Lotus Ancestor brought him back to reality.

"It seems your true form hasn't undergone the Six-Nine Tribulation yet, has it? Do you need my help to protect you?"

Lin Shan frankly admitted that his main body was currently very safe and he didn't need to worry about protecting him. However, the Red Lotus Ancestor's place was right next to the Penglai Holy Land, and it would be bad if Penglai came to cause trouble.

"That's true. It's not safe for me here. Although the spiritual tide has ended, the new round of power division among the major holy lands is still ongoing."

The Red Lotus Ancestor explained the current situation to him.

The Wanhui year is crucial for the survival of all holy lands. If they can obtain enough peerless spiritual treasures in the spiritual tide and cultivate powerful beings or successors at the Nascent Soul stage, they can seize more resources and squeeze the living space of other holy lands.

If you suffer repeated defeats in the spiritual tide and lose your own pillar, you may be taken over by other holy sites!

"I heard about your recent slaying of a primordial spirit demon in Leibo Sea, even though I was far away in the Song Dynasty. However, there have been several similar incidents in other places besides you, the most serious of which was in the Dan Ding Holy Land!"

"Huh? What happened to the Pill Refining Sacred Ground?"

"The Supreme Elder of this Holy Land was sitting at home when disaster struck from the sky. It is said that his true body, which was hidden deep in the void, was suddenly approached and killed on the spot! At the same time, his other three Yuan Nian avatars, which were fighting in different spiritual tides, also perished, leading to the complete defeat of the third round of spiritual tide battles and the annihilation of all three battlefields!"

"What???"

Lin Shan was shocked. The Dan Ding Holy Land was the leading force in alchemy in this world. Even if the Supreme Elder of the Holy Land was not known for his combat skills, he was unparalleled in alchemy and had countless connections in the cultivation world.

His true form was found and killed at the source, causing all his incarnations outside to perish instantly. This was the greatest tragedy of the Wan Hui era!
"Three primordial avatars, a full three of them!"

The Crimson Lotus Ancestor also sighed with regret. Back then, because of Zhang Yunxi, the Supreme Elder of the Pill Cauldron Holy Land had specially sought it out, wanting to make friends with it. The two had a very pleasant conversation.

"Therefore, no matter what, we must ensure the absolute safety and concealment of our main body, and never expose it. This is the foundation of our existence. For us Nascent Soul cultivators, no matter how many avatars we have, they are all rootless duckweed after the main body perishes, and will dissipate with the wind. They are meaningless. The Supreme Elder of the Pill Cauldron Holy Land is a living example."

Do you know who did it?

Lin Shan was deeply moved. No matter what, the Supreme Elder of the Dan Ding Holy Land was definitely a true Nascent Soul powerhouse in his true form, and his combat strength was not to be underestimated. He was definitely stronger than the Nascent Soul incarnation.

The fact that the person who killed him could kill his true form means they could also kill his avatar!
The Crimson Lotus Ancestor had indeed heard about it and slowly uttered a name.

"The Dan Ding Holy Land has publicly announced that this person claims to be the Sword Saint of Southern Xinjiang, named Ma Yuanjue." (End of Chapter)
