Immortal Road.

The main body follows the path of Yang God, absorbing Yang energy, while the Nirvana clone follows the path of Ghost Immortal, moving towards Yin energy.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if there were yin and yang in the future?

He started to make plans for the future, but at the same time, he also had some worries.

Actually, when he first created the Annihilation Avatar, he was just playing around with it. It was only after the strange entity possessed him that he began to take it seriously.

From then on, he always took precautions against his clones, preventing them from surpassing his original self and thus avoiding backlash.

But the more he invested in his clone, the stronger his unease became!

While I am blessed by a jinx, my clone is also backed by something sinister. We must continue to work together like this in the future, or we will be in trouble if something really happens that I can't handle!
"Brother, brother? What are you thinking about?"

Qu Gong called out to him from the side, only to find that the man in the straw hat had already left.

Now only the two of them remained in the vast void, because the commotion from their recent tribulation breakthrough was quite significant, and they feared that other void creatures from afar might also arrive.

Without the presence of the immortal, if they were to provoke a monster like the Void Shark, Void Kun, or Void Yin Pu, the two of them would truly be unable to handle it!
"Oh, it's nothing, let's go back first."

The two quickly returned the way they came, and thankfully they had the Void Star Guiding Pill to guide their coordinates, allowing them to successfully return to the outer edge of the main world.

When asked about his plans for the future.

Qu Gong kindly reminded him, pointing to the illusory silver scale armor he was wearing.

"Brother, you'd better get your Nirvana Avatar into the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible. Venerable Yushe lent us the Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, we can't wait for several years. We should make plans for Penglai as soon as possible."

"I saved it."

Lin Shan naturally understood that if he put himself in the shoes of Venerable Yu She, he would be restless every day if he lent the Tongtian Lingbao to someone else. This matter could not be delayed.

"I will immediately begin working on the breakthrough of my clone after I get back. With the main body's help, it shouldn't be long. You can rest assured."

The two returned to Zabagong, and Lin Shan returned to his physical body.

Gongqu had been guarding the well, and as soon as the two returned, he couldn't wait to ask:
"Did you see your master? What did he say? Did he call us good-for-nothings?"

"."

Well, it seems this man in the straw hat has been scolding them since they were little.

After briefly explaining the process of breaking through the outer void to Gong Qu, Lin Shan got up to take his leave, as he was going back to the State of Lu to begin preparations.

Qu Gong and Gong Qu did not try to stop them. They had just escaped from the seal and had their own things to do, so they parted ways for the time being.

Before leaving, they exchanged tokens of affection to facilitate communication later.

And on the other side.

Deep within the outer void of the meteorite belt, Lin Fan and Brother Chicken were looking around furtively, glancing back every few steps, exuding a strong sense of thievery.

"No, we've been searching for months, how come we still haven't found the right place? Is the Ice Soul Inheritance hidden this deep?"

"Oh! If it weren't for the magic of immortals, how could you, with your meager skills, have found it so easily!"

Behind them, Lin Shan's Yuan Nian avatar fiddled with the Moon Pattern Silver Sword, trying to find its exact location by following the star map left on it.

They wandered around for months, navigating the labyrinthine asteroid belt, encountering countless dangers, including many forbidden areas—the lairs of void creatures.

They encountered setbacks along the way and were left feeling utterly defeated.

"That's strange. The finish line is right here, but there's nothing here. Why is that?"

The large star beneath their feet was a full six thousand miles in circumference, and its size was not small. However, with the search of one Nascent Soul cultivator and two powerful cultivators, they quickly figured out most of it.

It was just an ordinary meteor from outer space, captured by the main world, and remained dormant in the asteroid belt for countless years.

Once here, the map left by Sailor Moon is no longer useful; we can only rely on the Heavenly Treasure, the Void Star Disc, to find our way.

The compass needle bounced back and forth, pointing around, sometimes left and sometimes right.

"It can block the detection of the Heavenly Treasure. It seems that the legend that the Ice Soul Fairy personally set up the restriction is true."

Lin Shan sighed. Fortunately, he had made preparations for this trip and had one last safeguard.

Void Butterfly!
"Xiaodie, come out."

The Void Butterfly and Sailor Moon share a deep bond, and this little guy can basically ignore most dangerous places and travel directly through them using his talent, which comes in handy now.

Little Butterfly flapped her wings and flew out, her eyes still heavy with sleep. But the next moment, she seemed to sense something, sniffed around, and immediately perked up!
It circled Linshan twice, and then carried him in a certain direction.

"Follow!"

Lin Fan and Chicken Bro exchanged a glance and quickly chased after them.

Soon, in the void ahead, they discovered ripples, and Little Butterfly was struggling inside them, as if she were stuck in a spider web. No matter how much she thrashed about, she couldn't get out, and she cried out for the first time in her distress.

"Meow meow meow~"

"???"

Lin Fan and Chicken Brother both doubted that they had misheard. Was that how butterflies called?

Lin Shan had never heard of this before and was completely stunned!
However, they quickly realized that Xiaodie was trapped.

There were special restrictions and traps in this void. Xiaodie was so eager to save her master that she fell into the trap.

This was the first time Lin Shan had ever seen a Void Butterfly trapped, which meant that the restriction was quite powerful. He didn't dare to act rashly and began to use the Void Star Compass to calculate the entry point.

After struggling for more than half an hour, the three of them finally managed to rescue Xiaodie.

"Meow meow meow~"

Little Butterfly was furious. She let out a ghostly howl from who-knows-where, flapped her wings, overturned the table, and created several void storms, which she then began to bombard this area!
Surprisingly, several swirling silver storms could be seen relentlessly encircling and attacking the area, tearing everything around it into fragments of the void, but the void within a few feet in the center remained completely still!

"Is this a door?"

Lin Fan and Brother Chicken also noticed something was wrong and stepped in to help.

They planned to use violence to destroy the property, saying they would smash the door to pieces first!

Lin Shan was about to suggest taking a look, but he couldn't resist the two impatient people, so he decided to ignore them and act together.

The gate was very sturdy, and they tried all sorts of methods to break it, but to no avail. Just when they were about to give up, they suddenly realized that their previous efforts were not in vain, because they had indeed worn down a lot of its durability.

After a whole night, the door began to sway. Finally, Lin Shan couldn't take it anymore and summoned the Yellow Turban Warrior, a big guy, who smashed the door down with a single punch!

"Bang! Crash!"

A piercing cracking sound came, and thick white mist billowed from the other side of the door. The intense cold made them shiver, as they were caught off guard.

Xiaodie was so eager to be at the forefront that her two wings were instantly frozen into ice sculptures, and she fell straight down!

Just as Lin Shan was about to rescue her, a force field suddenly appeared inside, instantly engulfing the incapacitated Xiao Die and causing her to disappear right before his eyes.

"No, chase!"

Lin Shan disregarded everything else and rushed in after him.

Not to be outdone, Lin Fan and Brother Chicken followed closely behind.

Upon entering, they discovered that the portal led to a vast glacial world. The dazzling white light reflected off the ice, but it didn't hinder their pursuit of the captured butterfly. All they saw along the way were millennia-old glaciers, their deep blue sheen carrying a chilling aura. Based on their deductions, this must be an ancient, hidden void realm.

The Ice Soul Fairy chose this place as the site for her inheritance; it is indeed well-hidden, easy to defend, and difficult to attack.

I just wonder what role the ice python plays here?
When Lin Shan finally caught up, he discovered that Xiao Die had been encased in an ice sculpture.

The statue depicts a woman with fair skin and a sword on her back, standing on a snow leopard.

The ice python's cheerful voice came through:

"Oh, it's you, kid. You've got a way to heaven but no way to hell. Looks like you're tired of living and came here to die on purpose."

"Yes."

Lin Shan, recognizing the location of the sound, immediately took action, calling Lin Fan and Brother Chicken to join him in bombarding the ice python inside the statue.

As it turned out, the statue was just as sturdy as the outer door, especially since it was the statue of the Ice Fairy, which was ridiculously hard.

"Brother Lin, stop! You've hit the wrong person. I'm inside the statue."

Shui Bingyue's voice suddenly came out, startling Lin Shan, who wondered what was going on this time.

The ice python chuckled, its laughter particularly grating, especially as it mocked the three of them.

"Two people and a chicken, one Yuan Nian transformed into two powerful beings—is this the confidence you have to come and rescue her?"

"Should I say you're stupid or too arrogant? Coming here with this lineup is tantamount to suicide, let alone rescuing your confidante."

"I've been sealed here for so long, and I'm completely in charge inside this secret realm. Once we're out, there's really nothing I can do to you. But once you're in, don't even think about leaving!"

The three of them suddenly realized that the gap they had created earlier had indeed disappeared.

Below, the earth shook violently, and a blinding white light burst forth from beneath the great rift valley, as a gigantic ice python, stretching for hundreds of miles, struggled to emerge!
"Brother Lin, I rescued Xiaodie. Now you can help me get out."

Sailor Moon's voice came intermittently from the ice sculpture again.

At this moment, Ke Linshan was already unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood, unsure whether it was the real Sailor Moon or an Ice Python in disguise trying to lure him into a trap.

I decided to have Lin Fan and Brother Chicken stop fighting and join me in dealing with the exposed ice python beneath the glacier!
"Hmph, brat, you have guts. You're just a newbie who recently broke through to the Nascent Soul stage. Judging from your avatar, your strength is only so-so. You must have taken advantage of the void spiritual energy as a reward, right? No wonder you only have 60% of your strength. How can you possibly stop me!"

The ice python had clearly misunderstood. Based on the strength of this primordial spirit avatar, it deduced that Lin Shan's true body was a "fake primordial spirit"!
This made them even more unscrupulous.

In its eyes, Lin Fan and Chicken Brother were nothing but tiny specks, mere supernatural beings like dogs. They were no match for its true form. The fact that these three had come here was clearly just to make a fool of themselves.

The entire secret realm began to crackle and freeze, and a chill filled the air. The three brothers felt their movements were restricted, so they immediately stood back to back.

The Ice Python Baili Zhen body leaped up, its long tail whip stretching as far as the eye could see, and lashed out directly at them!

"Yellow Turban Warrior!"

Lin Shan roared, and the Immortal Puppet rushed forward, withstanding the attack with its body. However, the Ice Python's body was incredibly strong, causing the puppet to stagger.

The energy of the Star Element Module inside was instantly depleted by one-third!

This is the true form of the veteran primordial spirit, far stronger than the primordial spirit avatar that was killed by Lin Shan in Leibo Sea not long ago.

"Wind Tunnel Thunder Elephant, go!"

This primordial avatar carries this great divine power, which is also its only means. The giant wind tunnel instantly envelops the ice python, and the thunder elephant inside moves at the sound of the wind.

But only one breath.

"Ugh~~~"

A mournful cry of thunder came from within, and then the wind tunnel was shattered, from which the ice python emerged, shaking its head and wagging its tail, a hint of mockery appearing in its enormous snake eyes.

"What are you thinking? You dare to attack my main body with just a mere Yuan Nian clone? Do you really think that the one who died in the Thunder Wave Sea is my true strength?"

Lin Fan and Brother Chicken also kept making moves, but their actions were like light-hearted scuffing and tickling, and they couldn't achieve much effect at all.

The ice python circled the three of them, seemingly toying with them, but in reality stirring up trouble.

The outer ring of cold mist, from milky white to transparent, had completely locked the three of them in place, and a layer of frost had covered their brows and hair.

As the Yellow Turban warriors suffered repeated defeats, the three of them gradually shrank their living space, their lips turned purple from the cold, and even raising their arms became slow.

"Brother, this is bad, this is troublesome, should we run away!"

Lin Fan was under immense pressure and felt utterly powerless. He had thought he could come and help Lin Shan, to cheer him on, but instead, he was pulled aside!

"Oh, I think so too. As long as the green hills remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood; when the wind blows strong, we're out of there!"

Chicken Bro is a young and inexperienced guy, unreliable in his work. As soon as he saw things were going wrong, he quickly retreated!

Lin Shan was truly impressed. If he hadn't had no other choice, why would he have asked this guy for help?

Sailor Moon hasn't been rescued yet, and now he's about to get himself killed!
However, he also felt somewhat guilty, because he knew that his Yuan Nian avatar was limited in its methods and lacked sufficient strength, yet he still dragged his two good brothers along.

It doesn't matter that he died, after all, he was just an avatar, while Lin Fan and Brother Chicken were their real bodies!
"Brother Lin, please release me! I'll lend you a hand!"

Sailor Moon's voice echoed from inside the sculpture again, her tone filled with anxiety.

Desperate, Lin Shan unveiled another precious treasure from the celestial realm.

Beijing Normal University crossbow!

With the Yellow Turban Warrior, a behemoth, personally drawing the bowstring, an extreme beam of light flashed, and someone from the ice sculpture, working from within, instantly blasted it into countless fragments!
A white figure suddenly flew out and joined Lin Shan's group.

It's Sailor Moon!
Without saying a word, she grabbed Lin Shan and started to leave.

"Quickly, this is the Ice Python's home ground. No matter how many of us there are, we have no advantage. The best course of action is to run."

Well, the first thing she did after escaping was to run.

"Run? Where can you run to?"

The ice python blocked the exit, its tongue flicking back and forth, and then it suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, by releasing this little girl from her seal, you're essentially releasing mine too!"

"Now that I'm completely free of constraints, I can do whatever I want with you."

"Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything!"

Lin Shan suddenly realized what was happening and turned to look at Shui Bingyue, who only urged him to run.

"Run? Where do you think you're going?"

The Ice Python has now sealed off the entire secret realm, intending to trap and annihilate it. How could we possibly let them leave?

"I deliberately left the Moon-Patterned Silver Sword as bait, and you took the bait! How could I not know the little girl's backup plan inside?"

The situation was extremely dire, and they all felt a profound sense of powerlessness. Hearing the continuous sound of water below, they suddenly realized that they had been transported back to the Ice Age!
"Prepare to die, you bunch of juniors! After I ascend to the Immortal Realm, all your inheritances will belong to me! Ahahahaha~"

Lin Shan took a deep breath. He knew he was now backed into a corner. To survive and safely rescue Shui Bingyue, he had no choice but to summon his true form.

As an avatar, it can completely locate itself and summon its main body to travel along the void to arrive; this process will not take long.

Then, let's see who comes out on top when the real body faces off!
