Immortal Road.

King Yanxi died.

His spoils also fell into Lin Shan's pocket, including two Nascent Soul stage cultivation techniques and a sixth-order secret technique comparable to a great divine power.

It's called the "Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation"!
The military formations in the cultivation world are a famous military formation method that requires training a large army to coordinate, but unfortunately, it doesn't suit Lin Shan.

Besides these, there are five spiritual treasures, and countless ancient treasures and magical artifacts.

However, once you reach this level, your divine essence will generally not be depleted, and powerful supernatural abilities and spells become a more suitable choice for combat.

The spiritual treasures are already falling behind, unless it's a celestial spiritual treasure!

But when it came to the Tongtian Lingbao (a magical treasure), Lin Shan couldn't help but have some doubts.

Guigu Holy Land is an old holy land with a history of so many years. Surely it can't be that it doesn't have a single heaven-reaching spiritual treasure?

He searched through all of the old man's belongings himself, but found nothing.

"Could it be that the Heaven-Reaching Treasure is hidden within the Holy Land? But why doesn't he carry it with him in his physical form? Or perhaps, the Ghost Valley Holy Land truly doesn't possess the Heaven-Reaching Treasure?"

He had some doubts about this matter, so he directly asked Qianbu, who was far away in the Ghost Valley Holy Land, through Xingwo.

"Godfather, you succeeded?"

"Um, I want to ask you something. Does the Ghost Valley Holy Land have any Heavenly Treasures?"

"Yes, of course!"

Upon hearing this, Qianbu immediately became excited and quickly explained the history of the sacred site to him.

"The Ghost Valley Holy Land was founded by the military strategist Guigu Shenjun, and 120,000 years ago it was the main force against extraterrestrial demons!"

"Later, Guiguzi perished, and part of his legacy remained in the forbidden area of ​​the cliff. However, the Tongtian Lingbao was inherited by the Guigu Holy Land and passed down from generation to generation and controlled by successive holy masters."

"However, in this generation, the previous Holy Lord passed away before the Spirit Tide, and the position of the Supreme Elder has been vacant for a long time. The Supreme Elder alone maintains the Holy Land, leads his disciples to compete for supremacy in the Spirit Tide, and has cultivated several great supernatural beings, but none of them have successfully broken through to the Nascent Soul stage."

"Only when a new primordial spirit emerges can the Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure of the Ghost Valley Holy Land be inherited!"

This was the first time Lin Shan had ever heard that a Holy Lord had to be at the Nascent Soul stage.

The Holy Lord of Tai Xuan Holy Land is a great supernatural being. Even when Ling Chao scared the ancestor of the Confucian family, he was only at the late Nascent Soul stage!
From this perspective, the standards and specifications of different sacred sites are different. Tai Xuan, which has only been established for ten thousand years, is simpler, while Gui Gu, which has a long history, is more stringent.

However, now that the Supreme Elder has been killed and the Ghost Valley Holy Land has lost its primordial spirit, will their position as Holy Lord continue to remain vacant?

A group without a leader is most prone to internal strife; they surely understand this principle.

"Godfather, I just secretly went to the Ancestral Master's Altar to take a look, and the Supreme Elder's soul fire has indeed been extinguished. You are truly amazing!"

Qianbu also knew to go and see if Yanxi Shenjun was really dead or not, whether he was truly dead or not.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shan felt reassured.

I initially thought the old man was killed rather easily. He used the Seven Arrows of Nailhead incantation twice and the Formless Star Flame burned him to death without any power to resist. I wondered if he had faked his death.
Now it seems that I was just too strong.

"If we don't choose the Holy Lord, is there no way to inherit the Heavenly Treasure?"

He thought he should just take it himself, why wait for someone from the Ghost Valley Holy Land to inherit it? How could he give something like this to someone else? It was definitely going to be his, Lin's, possession!
Lord Yanxi has been running around for so long, shouldn't he compensate me with something?
"Uh this"

Qianbu wasn't quite sure either, because he wasn't the old man from the holy land.

“Godfather, I know that the Heavenly Treasure is hidden in the Ancestral Master’s Altar. If you come to retrieve it, I can guide you.”

Lin Shan thought for a moment and decided that, for safety's sake, he could send an avatar to try it out, but his main body shouldn't go, since it was inside the holy land and he didn't want any accidents to happen.

"Sure, do you know what that treasure is called and what its effects are?"

"I've never seen it, but I've heard of it. It's called the Burial Kun Territory. It can calculate all mountains and terrains, assisting the army in forming battle formations on the spot, and annihilating any enemies besieging within the formations!"

Qian Bu's voice trembled as he spoke, clearly indicating that this treasure was an unparalleled divine object in the eyes of cultivators who practiced military formations.

"During the last Wanhui year, the Holy Master of Guigu led his disciples to use this item to lay a net of heaven and earth, and in a certain spiritual tide, they killed the primordial spirit incarnations of four primordial spirit masters in one fell swoop, thus winning the spiritual tide competition!"

"Four Nascent Souls?"

Lin Shan's heart stirred slightly upon hearing this. This was an extraordinary achievement. Although it consisted of four Yuan Nian avatars, the Yuan Shen stage cultivators all hid so deeply that it was impossible to find their true bodies. It wasn't just the avatars that went out to travel.

It is indeed an extraordinary treasure, worthy of the title "Heaven-Reaching Treasure".

However, the Tongtian Lingbao, which is specifically designed to assist military formations, doesn't seem to be of much use to me.
Qianbu is still introducing:

"This Heaven-Reaching Treasure can control the earth's veins. It's a mobile weapon to break formations. No matter how powerful your mountain-protecting formation is, as long as the earth's veins are disturbed and the formation's foundation buried underground is shattered, it will collapse on its own!"

"And that's not all. This Heavenly Treasure can also be used to analyze feng shui and find the Eight Trigrams. It is a supreme artifact for feng shui masters. In addition to being used to set up formations, it can also break illusions."

"Most importantly, it can be used to divine the future, but it is said to cause irreversible damage to the spiritual treasure. Tens of thousands of years ago, when the Ghost Valley Holy Land was in a critical moment, it used this treasure to divine the future twice. Now there is only one last chance left."

Lin Shan finally nodded upon hearing this. Could he really get a free prediction of the future?
So magical.

Of course, the deduction is just an assumption, like playing chess, and it is not guaranteed to be 100% successful.

"There's another rumor: the Cangkun territory also possesses a derivative innate treasure, a heaven-reaching spiritual artifact, called the Yangqian Heavenly Plate!"

"Back then, these two were a pair, but they were later acquired by different forces. It is generally believed that the Yangqian Heavenly Plate should be in the hands of the renowned divination master Bu Suanzi!"

"However, that magical treasure is good at observing celestial phenomena and the trajectory of stars, and can also be used to divine and predict heavenly secrets, but it requires consuming one's lifespan."

Lin Shan was stunned when he heard this!
The combined functions of the Hidden Earth Plate and the Yang Qian Heaven Plate are essentially equivalent to one's own virtual star plate, aren't they?

One stirs up the earth's veins, the other explores celestial phenomena; their division of labor is clear, but it's better to have your own virtual star chart that has all of these functions!

However, they lack the functions of the virtual star chart, and their functions are different from those of the virtual star chart.

Especially the deduction.

The virtual star chart is for divination of formations, while these two are for divination of divination.

Fortune telling, in essence, deals with the past and future, and the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed; the price to pay for such divination is always extremely high.

One can only be used three times, while the other requires consuming lifespan.

Lin Shan estimated that the targets that these two Heavenly Treasures could be deduced to be limited to those at the Nascent Soul stage and below.

If the cultivation level goes any higher, the Heavenly Treasure will not be able to withstand it and will collapse directly!

"Only innate treasures can be so magical. The ability to predict the future is indeed a powerful weapon that can save a force from dire straits. No wonder the Ghost Valley Holy Land has been able to last for so long."

Lin Shan couldn't help but sigh, there was a reason why each holy site had survived to this day.

Qianbu also chimed in:

"Yes, it won't be long before the others in the Holy Land know about the Supreme Elder's fall. In their panic, they might discuss using the Hidden Kun territory to conduct a divination in a desperate situation."

"."

Lin Shan paused abruptly upon hearing this. What?
These people have the audacity to waste the number of uses of my Heavenly Treasure?
"You wait, I will immediately send a Yuan Nian avatar to the Ghost Valley Holy Land to provide support! If you can help me obtain the Heavenly Treasure this time, then the Ghost Valley Holy Land's Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation will not be out of the question!"

Qianbu was overjoyed upon hearing this.

This is a golden opportunity. Even though the Supreme Elder is gone, he alone cannot deal with the other conservative forces in the Holy Land. He might even be driven out by their combined forces!

Because the Supreme Elder, to some extent, keeps those below from acting rashly, which is also his protective shield.

Now that he has no one in power and things fall into chaos below, he will inevitably become the target of everyone's criticism!

The Liang family head would be the first to not let him go.

Now that Lin Shan has come in with external support, it's the perfect time for him to seize power in the Holy Land!
Not to mention, the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation is the signature technique of the Ghost Valley Holy Land. Once you learn it, it will be a powerful weapon!
"Yes, Your Majesty! I will go and prepare immediately!"

Lin Shan cut off communication with the other side and immediately assigned Yuan Nian's avatar from the Xun Gu Sect to rush to the Ghost Valley Holy Land to find the Tongtian Spiritual Treasure.

This matter must be handled quickly, and as soon as possible!

Because other holy places may also have spies in the Ghost Valley Holy Land. Once they learn of the fall of Lord Yanxi, they will also come in to support their forces and participate in the power struggle, coveting the Heavenly Treasure.

However, Lin Shan was cautious because even a weakened Ghost Valley Holy Land was still bigger than a horse, so he couldn't let his guard down and sent the weaker of the two Yuan Nian avatars.

With 60% of his original strength, he should be enough to keep things under control. Even if he suffers losses due to unforeseen circumstances, it won't be a big deal.

Another avatar with 90% of its power is to oversee the Ancient Seeking Sect as the protector of the Extinction Avatar and the Cursed Spirit as they break through to the Primordial Spirit stage. This is the most important thing and cannot be taken lightly.

Mu Yan is also breaking through to become a Great Divine Power Master. Only after he completely emerges from seclusion will I be truly free.

After giving instructions on the matter, he re-examined the legacy of Lord Yanxi.

The reserves of various ancient books and materials are extremely abundant, far richer than those of the Joyful God and the Ice Spirit Illusion Python that we killed before. This is what makes it worthy of the status of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!
Unfortunately, none of the primordial spirit cultivation techniques or even sixth-order secret arts suited him. The most valuable items were the eight primordial spirit crystals he left behind after his death.

The reason there are so few is probably due to the previous curse and the trouble caused by the White Bone Lord and the Illusionary Conch Demon Lord.

"It seems that after the curse, some gains will be greatly reduced."

He didn't plan to use the Yuan Nian crystals left behind by others after their deaths, fearing they might cause hidden dangers to his future cultivation. So he simply gave them to his Nirvana clone to enhance his Yuan Shen after returning home.

After everything was handled properly.

He then looked back at this extraterrestrial battlefield, following the route he remembered from his past.

Arriving at Yuzi Creek, the place where Qianyun Pavilion Qingyang Peak assigned me to carry out this mission.

We went deep into the abandoned military base that was once buried underground.

"Beep—Beep—Enemy invasion detected."

Bang!
Lin Shan casually blasted open the infrared door outside, removing the twin-mounted cannons from it as well, and then stuffed them into his pocket after a quick glance.

They then broke through three gates in succession and finally broke into the base.

What I saw next was a scene of utter devastation.

A thick layer of ash covered the area, and the original remains had been reduced to dust.

Lin Shan stepped forward and pulled out a lathe drill bit made of super alloy from the thick layer of dust. There were still crackling electric currents moving back and forth on it, like little snakes.

"Thunder Beast."

He could sense a terrifying power within it. The Thunder Otter was a born child of thunder, a rare and precious spirit beast in the lower realm, which was very compatible with him.

I didn't have the time or the ability before, but I can't let it go now.

Arriving at a corner, I opened a dusty, gray door.

Sure enough, the base's power distribution room was still there!

However, the electrical energy here seemed considerable at the time, but from today's perspective, it is completely insufficient to support the development of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, so it is normal for Lei Otter to abandon it.

He stepped forward and pulled out a chewed-up wire, which carried the scent of a thunder otter.

After all, it has been held in the mouth for hundreds or thousands of years, and the saliva has coated it, so its aura is very strong, making it perfectly suitable for tracking.

He decisively took out the Void Star Compass, roughly sensed it, and found that the beast was still in this small world!
That's true. As long as one hasn't reached the Nascent Soul stage and can't break through the void, one cannot leave Xiaoyizhou.

Unless there are special means such as Void Battleships or Void Butterflies, Thunder Otter cannot escape in this world!
Lin Shan was confident and once again summoned the Myriad Manifestations Star Flame, gathering the starlight of the heavens to help him test the waters.

Astral Insight!

Swish swish swish~
Starlight shone down, creating a screen in front of him.

In the scene, Thunder Otter is lying lazily on a jade couch, while several barbarian cultivators massage its shoulders and legs, serving it comfortably.

However, as if sensing something, the beast groggily opened its eyes and was so frightened that it almost jumped up!

Several barbarians nearby tumbled off the bed, panicked and bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

Look up!
Only then did they realize that beams of starlight were descending, like spotlights framing this ancestor, as if a celestial being had specially sent down its attention!
Lei Otter looked around, wondering who was watching him, and grinned defiantly.

But instead of diminishing, those streaks of starlight became even more intense!
Just look at it, with so many big light bulbs above your head wherever you go, you'll definitely get tons of attention on the street, the coolest kid on the block!
"Yay~"

Lei Otter bared its teeth and roared a few times, but after its protests were ineffective, it had no choice but to give up and squatted on the bed, scratching its ears and cheeks in a huff.

Just then, several high-ranking members of the barbarian tribes entered from the outside; they all appeared to be Golden Core cultivators.

Lin Shan, though thousands of miles away, couldn't hear the opening and closing of the mouth, but he could read it by lip reading.

"Lord Lei, something terrible has happened! The outside is now teeming with skeletons, numbering in the millions for some unknown reason! Among them are several Nascent Soul stage demon lords, wreaking havoc on the barbarian people. After discussion, our three tribes have decided that only your intervention can save this land."

"Dumb~ Dumb~"

The Thunder Beast said something, and the barbarian Golden Core cultivators opposite obediently offered a plate of Thunder Pearls.

"These are thunder beads that our three tribes recently picked up at Thunder God Cliff. Hundreds of people have died in the process. Please accept them."

Thunder Otter then extended its claws and put all the thunder orbs into its storage bag, before disappearing into the lightning with a "whoosh".

After watching the screen, Lin Shan suddenly remembered something.

Isn't this the Youlian clan, one of the three major tribes of the Xiaoyizhou barbarian tribes?

When Sailor Moon returned to the main world from this place, she took a group of people with her, but she didn't take the main totem poles with her!

Now that he has returned, he recalls the scene when he first broke through to the Golden Core stage and swept through the small barbarian tribes. The three major tribes missed out because they were not strong enough.

Now's the perfect time to go and see if there's anything with a traditional charm to be found!
