Immortal Road.

The forging of this calamity star's golden image took a full six months!
One aspect is studying the path of star cultivation in "Star Forging Techniques," and the other is mobilizing all materials to enhance it and stabilizing it with star patterns, so that it has a tough texture while also ensuring its long-lasting performance.

A cultivator's natal star is closely related to their physical body, carrying the vast majority of what they have learned in their lifetime. It is more precious than their natal magic weapon and needs to be constantly refined and nurtured during the cultivation process.

Many of its functions are tailored to one's own cultivation techniques, talents, and supernatural abilities.

The most important aspect of a jinx is its polluted fortune!

To put it bluntly, the worst thing about this thing is that it gets exposed. It can't be shown to the outside and needs to be well hidden. If someone recognizes it, that would be a huge problem.

The lower realm is alright, but the upper realm is a different story.

Lin Shan, anticipating a potential problem, followed the experience of refining the golden image of the Dharma body last time, and applied a thick layer of gold paint to the outside, making it look like a shining relic at first glance.

He looks like a highly accomplished monk!
But recalling the past scenes of glittering gold and glitter, and how the shoddy interior was repeatedly exposed to outsiders, he made a painful decision and resolved to use only the best materials.

We resolutely oppose shoddy construction projects!
To forge this Dharma Body, he emptied out half of his entire fortune, according to the highest specifications of his natal star in the "Star Forging Technique"!

He piled up countless rare and precious materials to disguise the fact that he was a jinx.

"Now I am Venus. In the future, I will declare myself to be the reincarnation of Venus. Let's see who dares to object?"

He spoke with such conviction, muttering to himself, that he almost believed it himself!
But the Black Skull Demon Lord, who had been busy helping him for the past six months, showcasing his weapon-forging skills, looked up and asked blankly:

"Whose Venus is golden? Isn't Venus white?"

"."

Lin Shan felt as if his throat was blocked, and then he glared at it fiercely!
"Who told you I'm Venus? I'm Venus, Venus, understand?"

"Uh, I understand, I understand."

The Black Skull Demon Lord shrank back. Its rebellious nature had been smoothed out, and it dared not disobey Lin Shan at all. It was still wondering in its heart which Venus was in the sky besides Venus.
Or perhaps it's just the literal meaning of Venus?

Small workshops are known for their aggressive production methods; their operations are as fierce as a tiger's. Lin Shan looked at his 'perfect masterpiece' and kept smiling and nodding, but the aura of Buddha was a bit too intense, and he was afraid that those who were illuminated by it would be unable to withstand it and would directly convert to Buddhism.

"Amitabha Buddha~"

He raised his hand and chanted a Buddhist prayer; you have to admit, he actually looked quite respectable!
Master Zhan Kong was exhausted from carving star patterns on him. He was dizzy and felt like he was going to vomit. He could only see stars in front of his eyes.

"Master, how many layers of these solid star patterns do you intend to build? According to the 'Star Forging Technique,' about twenty layers should be sufficient. The remaining layers should include gravity star patterns, cloud star patterns, refraction star patterns, and light-gathering star patterns. If you aspire to become an immortal in the future and want your natal star to be habitable, you should inscribe life-giving star patterns in advance."

Live?

Haha, what kind of person could live on a jinx?

Lin Shan ignored everything and simply waved his hand dismissively!
"As long as the star pattern is solid, carve another two hundred layers for me."

Puff~~~
Master Zhan Kong and Black Skull Demon Lord were almost exhausted to the point of vomiting blood, while Grandmaster Man Di was even more dizzy from old age. He had never done such a low-skilled job before. It was just a matter of piling up massive amounts of materials to make it solid, without considering anything else. Was this really a Star Cultivator?
Lin Shan was unconvinced and even secretly curled his lip.

With your mediocre skills in weapon crafting and formations, it took you so long to learn just a solid star pattern. How can you possibly learn anything else?
There's nothing we can do. In this world, the only people who are truly knowledgeable about star patterns are probably Lord Yuxing and Xing Jinshu. Everyone else is a self-taught individual, so we can't expect too much from them.

After the image of the calamity star was almost completely adorned, the situation on the mainland became turbulent!

First, there have been six months of work.
After recovering from its wounds, Penglai Holy Land took the lead in retaliating against the Great Song Luosong Alliance in response to the attack that day. It personally led a large army to launch a fierce attack, determined to eradicate the scourge on its doorstep!

The Red Lotus Ancestor struggled to hold on, but no reinforcements came.

Penglai directly used a new, mysterious, all-powerful spiritual treasure to seal off the red maple forest in the middle of the Luosong Mountains, completely blocking this secret realm from the world. News could not get out, and there was a mountain blocking the space layer.

In that battle, many members of the Luosong Demon Clan died, and it is said that the entire secret realm was stained red!
Finally, at the critical moment, Lin Fan stepped forward and forcibly took on the tribulation on the spot, pulling both sides into the water and buying time for the battle.

Penglai was caught off guard and implicated many people. Hesitant to act for fear of harming the innocent, he had to slow down. Even though he used various means to cause trouble, he still could not stop this boy from forcibly breaking through the realm and leaping to the primordial spirit stage!
It is said that on that day, extraordinary phenomena appeared, the sky and earth were in harmony, and all things in the red maple forest burst forth with vitality. The heavens bestowed upon it a 'Thunder Pattern Golden Lotus' as a reward!
Lin Fan, possessing the Golden Lotus, guarded the Luosong Demon Clan for several days, holding firm against the siege of the Penglai army. He held out until the Beihai Sea Clan in the Lu Kingdom noticed something was wrong. Lin Shan and Venerable Yu She joined forces, breaking through the void to arrive and repel the Penglai Holy Land.

After this battle, Lin Fan's fame soared, causing a great stir in the cultivation world.

In the past, these were small-scale operations, only gaining fame in certain areas.

Now, the battles between Nascent Soul stage cultivators and between holy lands can easily spread throughout the continent and attract the attention of most people in this world.

In the cultivation world, whether at the top or the bottom, everyone likes to pay attention to the world situation. In the immortal cities, markets, sects and families of various countries, there are rumors about the dazzling new stars who will rise after the Wanhui year.

Especially those who come from humble backgrounds and manage to rise above their circumstances through hard work are truly inspiring and encouraging!
On the very day Lin Fan defeated Penglai, he held a grand ceremony in the Song Kingdom to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, inviting forces of all sizes from the surrounding area to participate. He carried the glory of his great victory with him and gained a great deal of prestige.

It is said that afterwards, various holy sites sent envoys to establish diplomatic relations, and even the two great immortals sent messengers to express their congratulations.

At the banquet, Lin Fan couldn't help but reminisce with Lin Shan about the past. When the two brothers were in the Qi Refining stage, they attended the birthday banquet of the East Sea Turtle Immortal and envied the guests from all directions who presented treasures one after another. They fantasized that one day they could do the same. Now that they have reached the top of the realm, they realize that the scenery is infinitely magnificent and they can see all the mountains below.

Since then, the Luosong Mountains have been temporarily safe. Penglai has retreated and is brewing some conspiracy, probably planning the next offensive. But a shocking tragedy has occurred at the Dan Ding Holy Land!
Since the death of the Supreme Elder of the Dan Ding Holy Land, the Holy Land has been in a state of leaderlessness, with several Grandmasters of Alchemy vying for the chief position and engaging in open and covert struggles to gain complete control of the Holy Land.

Unbeknownst to them, each of them had unknowingly cultivated a large network of connections, which included the shadow of external forces.

In the midst of repeated fierce conflicts, neither side could swallow the other, and in the end, they split into three and separated on the spot!

This sacred land of alchemy, which had stood for tens of thousands of years, collapsed overnight with the departure of several grandmasters of alchemy, becoming nothing more than a fleeting memory. The three leaders of their respective lineages left to establish their own new powers, no longer wanting to be bound by any constraints. The masterminds behind this split, instigating and instigating it, were thus revealed: Penglai Sacred Land, Haoran Sacred Land, and Shangxiao Sword Sect!

As the most powerful holy land in this world, they jointly divided up the power vacuum left by the Dan Ding Holy Land, and each supported a proxy, all without making a sound.

The cultivation world was in an uproar, lamenting the decline of alchemy. Meanwhile, in the Ghost Valley Holy Land, the news of the death of Lord Yanxi had been circulating among the high-ranking officials of various forces for a long time and was no secret.

However, due to the presence of the guardian beasts, these forces dare not be too blatant, so they still stand, but internal undercurrents are surging and they are not far from disintegration.

Although Qian Bu became the Holy Lord with Lin Shan's help, he only controlled the Killing Intent lineage. The leaders of the other lineages did not respect him and even joined forces to outwardly comply but inwardly defy him, making it impossible for his orders to be transmitted beyond the Ghost Valley Holy Land!
In particular, the Liang clan leader hated this ungrateful fellow to the core and joined forces with other powerful individuals to isolate him, making it difficult for him to make progress within the clan.

Initially, with the external assistance of the Linshan Xun Gu Sect, Qianbu was in a relatively better situation.

But later he discovered that the other side's bastards had also invited outside help, and other holy lands had also intervened. Among them, the Spring and Autumn Sword Sect had already joined forces with the God of Yanxi before his death, which was already an open secret. Who knows what other monsters and demons were secretly involved.

Left with no other choice, he had to ask Lin Shan for help.

After receiving the message, Lin Shan thought for a moment and decided to send Mu Yan, who had just become a great supernatural being in his Xun Gu Sect, to help Qian Bu stabilize the situation.

Mu Yan gladly accepted the order. He had just succeeded in mastering the Star Aperture Locking Meridian technique and entered a new world. He wanted to compete with other powerful cultivators of the same level. The Ghost Valley Holy Land was comparable to a dragon's den and a tiger's lair, and it was the perfect place for him to test his skills!

The Hundred Clans of the Kongsang Sea Star Palace in the northwest also underwent another major purge.

The cause was that the Old Demon Jiyou was extremely dissatisfied with Xing Jinshu's introduction of Lin Shan and the Kong family patriarch. The two had many disagreements. Xing Jinshu, because she had someone backing her up, became more confident and no longer regarded the Old Demon Jiyou as a lifeline, greedily demanding everything from him.

This caused the Old Demon of Extreme Darkness to become enraged after failing to achieve his goal. One night, he joined forces with the external Jade Star True Monarch to launch a sneak attack on the Star Palace's hundred races!

This caught Xing Jinshu completely off guard!
The Demon Lord of Extreme Darkness and the Divine Lord Yuxing joined forces and taught her a harsh lesson from within. That night, an arched bridge spanning the sky descended, and the Void Star Bridge, which could only be summoned by burning one's lifespan, became a magnificent spectacle.

Even though the State of Lu was so close, they could see that Lin Shan and the Kong family patriarch had arrived to save the day as promised. Each of them sent Yuan Nian avatars. Although they stopped the other side from taking further action, due to the betrayal of the Extreme Nether Demon, half of the Star Palace's hundred races were taken away by the Jade Star God that night!

It turns out that all these days, Lord Yuxing had been hiding in some unknown corner, in order to refine a new Star Palace Cave Heaven. Taking advantage of this night's sneak attack and using the Spirit Treasure Cave Heaven, he managed to escape with half of the alien race!

Xing Jinshu was on the verge of collapse that night. She could only watch helplessly as the other party divided up the foundation she had protected for thousands of years. Lin Shan and the Kong family patriarch beside her were deeply shocked.

Master of Weapon Forging!

Yu Xing Shenjun's weapon crafting skills and star pattern abilities were among the best on the continent ten thousand years ago. He single-handedly built the Star Palace and nine Star Mansions, as can be seen in the Yu Xing Secret Treasury.

Now, after returning after ten thousand years, through a series of calculations, inducements, defections, and preparations, he has finally succeeded in regaining half of his original team and thus gained his own power.

All of this is of course thanks to Xing Jinshu for forcing the old demon Jiyou to rebel. The degree of control involved was inherently difficult to manage. She brought in Lin Shan and the Kong family patriarch to try to create a balance of power, but it was a mistake that she had to make the mistake.

What Lin Shan found unbelievable was that the cursed spirit had not reported to him at all about Yu Xing Shen Jun secretly refining the spiritual treasure cave!

When they met again, he even discovered that the other party had escaped his control and had completely reverted to Xing Lingjin.

That chief steward who followed True Lord Yuxing ten thousand years ago!

"Owner."

Kneeling before him was the primordial avatar of the cursed spirit. This avatar had now become the true cursed spirit, and could no longer perceive the slightest movement of the original body.

Lin Shan's expression turned solemn; he had indeed underestimated the heroes of the world!

The fact that Lord Yuxing dared to forcibly capture the cursed spirit right under the nose of the Penglai Holy Land shows that he was confident he could return to his original state and rescue Xinglingjin from her predicament.

It now appears that the opponent succeeded, and the original avatar in my hand was directly abandoned and severed, instead becoming the new cursed spirit's true form.

Xing Jinshu sat there for a whole night before recovering. She had to face reality and her situation, and thanked Lin Shan and the Kong family patriarch for their timely help.

Those races that were taken away by Lord Yuxing had already been secretly turned and left voluntarily; their hearts were no longer here, and they would leave sooner or later.

Another group followed the Old Demon of Extreme Darkness, such as the alien tribes led by the Mist Horse Clan.

After this battle, the woman completely broke with the Old Demon of Extreme Darkness, strengthened her support for the Xun Gu Sect and the Kong family, and decided to band together for mutual support and gradually integrate into the Lu Kingdom alliance.

Lin Shan understood that this was not her own choice, but rather forced by external circumstances, but in the end, she had become one of his own, which was a good thing.

The world is in turmoil, and various conflicts are unfolding in different places.

In particular, the conflict between the Black Lotus Sect and the Pure Lotus Laymen, which had been preparing for a long time, finally ignited at a certain point in time!

Initiated by Layman Jinglian, a notice was sent to all allies in the participating camp, agreeing to secretly meet on the banks of the Kucha River in the northwest of the continent.

The Black Lotus Sect, with its equally keen sense of smell, subsequently summoned all its members and secretly gathered them at Blackwater Cliff on the southwest coast of the continent.

Both sides are making final preparations for the battle. Even before it begins, they are already filled with killing intent. Everyone can foresee that a catastrophe far more devastating than the Wan Hui Nian spiritual tide will be unleashed in this realm!
After receiving the news, Lin Shan decided to send his Yuan Nian incarnation to the Black Lotus Sect, while leaving the Pure Lotus Hermit's side to the Nirvana clone.

This time, he's going to eat his fill on both ends, aiming to eat his fill before ascending to immortality!
What if you can't finish it?
Then we'll take it in! (End of Chapter)
