Immortal Road.

With the luck card in hand, I immediately felt more confident.

At this moment, the red mountain on Linshan Mountain still possesses the aura of the Spirit Master, with a huge black chimney towering into the sky behind it, and an armadillo covered in scales slowly rotating.

He has gradually come to realize that the Calamity Divine Power is a reward from Heaven, and the Luck Card is a very mysterious thing. The more you collect, the better, as it is equivalent to a life-extending artifact at critical moments.

No matter how bad your condition is, one card can transform your identity and revive you fully!

Elder Huang lost all his luck and finally experienced what it felt like to be a blank slate.

In the instant his luck ran out, the pressure on his domain instantly decreased by 30%, and the power of his supernatural abilities also weakened. The dragons even degenerated into mudfish, making the Red Candle Domain feel like a tickle.

"What's going on?"

He couldn't believe the changes in himself; his eyes almost popped out of their sockets!
I was clearly in a dominant position just now, how did I suddenly become weak and powerless? What kind of evil magic is this that can steal my luck?

Elder Huang was very knowledgeable and had the ability to observe qi, so he could see that his luck had run out, which made him even more incredulous.

Luck is a mysterious thing, an intangible entity, even more mysterious than a domain. It is basically impossible to grasp, and most cultivators' thinking is still limited to observation, divination, and predicting good and bad fortune. They don't even know how to use it.

But they've already progressed to the extraction stage!

What happens when you lose your luck?

He found out next.

Meteors fell from the sky once more, and Lin Shan's star magic suddenly surged in power, smashing the sand dunes in the yellow sand domain to pieces!

The annihilation clone drew its bow and nocked an arrow, even though blood was spurting from its two fingers, and fired a barrage of arrows at its main body.

The most direct example is the domain confrontation. The red and gray domains joined forces and were finally able to confront him head-on for the first time, expanding rapidly from the inside out.

A radius of hundreds of feet, thousands of feet, or tens of thousands of feet.
He was about to break through the blockade, and at that point, whether he stayed or left would be out of his hands!
"Don't even think about it!!!"

Elder Huang roared in panic, crossing his arms across his chest. The thick earthen barrier blocked the light arrow, and a black line shot out from his mouth, transforming into a phantom that rushed straight towards Lin Shan's main body.

If you want to behead me, I can behead you too!
Luck is related to one's own strength. Without luck, one's strength will greatly decline, but one can still rely on external things!
This thing was silent and invisible, only visible to the naked eye, yet no energy could be sensed. Just as Lin Shan deployed the Yuanjie Wind Corridor to defend against it, the Star Sword Immortal loudly warned him:

"No, that's a Xuan Tian secret treasure, you can't stop it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several portals of the Yuanjie Wind Corridor were pierced through. The black line rushed to his front as if it were nothing. His already damaged dark blue Yuan armor surfaced and was still pierced through on the spot!
嘣~
Only the timely appearance of Yu Xuhuanyun managed to barely block the attack.

The protective light shield was stretched to its limit, with an exaggerated protrusion that bulged inward. The tip of the protrusion was less than an inch away from Lin Shan's brow, and it was firmly blocked outside!
He focused his eyes on the space between his brows before he could see what it was.

A long, thin, black needle!
There are no fancy patterns, nor any highly toxic cold extracts; it is simply dark, ancient, and subtly sophisticated.

If you don't look closely, it's no different from an ordinary chopstick.

It was still slowly squeezing in, trying to penetrate his skull and crack open his skull, and the spiritual cloud shield made a creaking sound as it tightened.

In the next instant, Elder Huang changed his hand seal!
The Yu Xu Huan Yun collapsed into specks of white light on the spot, but it still couldn't stop the Xuan Tian Secret Treasure. Xing Jian Xian was so frightened that he almost screamed.

Clang~~~
A crisp, clear sound lingered in the vast expanse of yellow sand.

Lin Shan held something in his hand, and in a moment of quick thinking, he managed to block the fatal blow.

Xingqiao Ancestral Artifact!

Although this fragment was of little use after absorbing the ancient essence, as a companion item of the original Protoss, its hardness and strength were still undeniable.

If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, that blow would have killed him. He's still covered in cold sweat and trembling with fear!
huh~
A flash of light suddenly streaked past my ear, and the black needle was sent flying far away!

It turned out that the annihilation clone had turned around and shot an arrow to temporarily save him from the predicament. Then it continued to fire at the distance, using its skillful archery to kick the Xuan Tian Secret Treasure in the air like a ball.

"pity."

Elder Huang sighed deeply. It was so close to succeeding, but who knew that the boy had Lingyun protecting him? He could only regret it and feel heartbroken that he failed at the last minute.

He was frantically trying to control the remote, attempting to repeat his old tricks, but the Annihilation Avatar seized the opportunity and held on, its barrage of arrows firmly planted in the air, giving him no second chance.

"Old man, you like to ambush people?"

Lin Shanteng made his move and this time he found the opponent's true form. Let's see how you'll fight me now.
Void Star Bridge!

With the enhancement of the Star Bridge Ancestral Artifact, this supreme divine power was incredibly strong, descending from the sky and pressing down relentlessly.

Elder Huang's expression finally changed drastically!
He could feel the suppressive force; if he couldn't dodge it, he would become a complete fish on a chopping board, and be overwhelmed to death by the opponent's subsequent combos.

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, he disregarded everything else and suddenly jumped into the vortex of sand beneath his feet, disappearing into the sand.

Without his magical control, the Xuan Tian Secret Treasure Black Needle was destroyed on the spot by the three arrows of the Annihilation Avatar, exploding into a cloud of black mist in mid-air!
"You just wait, this isn't over."

After uttering those harsh words, the transparent ripples vanished in an instant, and the domain dissipated into a shower of light, illuminating the world.

The surrounding yellow sand gradually receded, and the desert degradation was gradually restored, revealing soft white clouds. The domain-level pressure disappeared, and the sense of urgency brought by the great battle was swept away!
shuh~
Lin Shan suddenly realized that he had returned to the celestial land.

All around was still the vast cloud valley, with layer upon layer of cloud mountains rising one after another. The wind blew the grassy sea at his feet swaying from side to side, and the emptiness made it even more silent.

Elder Huang has left.

After its luck turned to nothing, it realized it couldn't stop Lin Shan's main body and clone from joining forces. Breakthroughs in both domains were a foregone conclusion. Since the Xuan Tian Secret Treasure failed to achieve its goal through a sneak attack, it decisively withdrew.

It is evident that he has extensive experience in combat.

If one attack fails, flee a thousand miles away!

This is a true, native Void Realm expert from the Immortal Realm.

Lin Shan leaned down and parted the grass, discovering a thin layer of fine sand on the ground. The enemy had been lying in ambush for a long time and had already prepared an escape route, which could be taken by sand escaping at any time.

"sharp."

He exclaimed in admiration, recalling the battle just now, in which he had been in grave danger several times, and his sense of awe deepened.

The Immortal Realm is far superior to the Lower Realm. His past success in crushing weaklings in the Lower Realm had made him a bit arrogant. Now that he has come to his senses, he realizes how many ascendants there are in all the heavens and myriad realms.
Looking around, who isn't a peerless genius? But once they come to the Immortal Realm, don't they have to obediently bow their heads and behave like humans?
If you're a dragon, you have to coil up; if you're a tiger, you have to lie low!

The Ascension Platform of Cloud Edge City governs hundreds of lower realms. Elder Huang, as the ruler of the Immortal City, has seen countless ascendants, and in all these years, no one has been able to replace him.

Moreover, the other party comes from the Penglai Immortal Sect, and their cultivation and knowledge are far from ordinary. Furthermore, the South Sea Road is merely a remote corner of the Yunfeng Immortal Domain, which in the Immortal Realm can only be considered a poor, remote place!
The road ahead is still long.

"This time, they've revealed quite a few trump cards: the Annihilation Avatar, the Mysterious Heavenly Treasure, the Misfortune Siphon, and many other supreme divine abilities."

Lin Shan felt his own Red Mountain fortune begin to dissipate, his Spirit Master state gradually faded, and his aura plummeted. He knew he couldn't chase after it because the time limit of the fortune card was a fatal flaw.

If Elder Huang could see that if he had just held on a little longer and dragged things out until his luck card disappeared, the situation would have been reversed again.

However, the other party dared not gamble. After their luck was completely cut off, they felt that their weakened state could not prevent the two from breaking out of the domain, so they chose to retreat.

The advantage of this battle is that the Annihilation Avatar destroyed the opponent's Mysterious Heavenly Treasure!
This is a huge weakening, enough to make that old man heartbroken for a long time.

"Let's go, we shouldn't stay here any longer."

It's uncertain whether the other party will follow up; it depends on how long it takes for their luck to recover. Now's the time to slip away quickly.

He took out the Xuanwu Spirit Boat, and this time he didn't care about being flashy or not. He jumped on and accelerated at full speed, heading straight for the northwest!

Elder Huang traveled thousands of miles through the sand, and then retreated for another two hours before finding a secluded place to catch his breath and rest.

As soon as he sat down, he suddenly remembered something, looked up and used the Qi-gazing technique, and found that his luck had been restored without him noticing.

"!!!"

He stared blankly for a long time, looking at the armadillo lying there licking its paws, looking innocent and naive, and was a little confused for a moment.

Wait, wasn't my luck taken away? Is it just temporary?

He couldn't help but be puzzled, after all, he had never encountered such a thing before. His luck disappeared in an instant and was even plundered by the other party, so it was only natural that he was flustered at the time. Now, after thinking about it carefully, he came to his senses.

He quickly expanded his Yellow Sand Domain again and found that after the luck returned, the domain's strength had returned to its peak!
"Oh no, that kid has tricked me!"

He suddenly stood up, furious, his beard bristling and eyes bulging.

Only then did he realize that he had missed a good opportunity. There was no need to run at all. He could have just followed far behind and waited for his luck and domain to recover before he could fight again!

But then I thought, given the other person's speed, it probably wouldn't be easy for me to catch up.

Now that the two sides are so far apart, it's probably impossible to stop the other side from reaching Qiyun Ridge. And once they get there, there will be a True Immortal in charge, so it's not very realistic for me to make a move.

"Ugh"

Elder Huang sighed deeply, looking inexplicably dejected.

He risked completely offending a fellow cultivator at the Void Transformation stage by setting up an ambush on the only route through Cloud Valley. He was determined to achieve victory in one strike, but unexpectedly, he still failed at the last minute!
More importantly, even the Xuan Tian Secret Treasure was destroyed!

Thinking about this makes my heart ache. That was a trump card that I had treasured for thousands of years and never dared to use, but it was gone the first time I used it, and I didn't even earn the value I deserved.

It's like trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead – you've lost everything!
The methods Lin Shan displayed this time surprised him even more and left him even more confused.

This kid looks like he just broke through to a higher realm. He hasn't even consolidated his cultivation yet, but he dares to wander around like this. Moreover, his combat experience is very naive. He's obviously a novice.

However, he had a clone at the Void Transformation stage, equipped with a Mysterious Heavenly Treasure, and possessed even more powerful supreme divine abilities. He used at least three of them when facing him!
It's important to know that techniques of this level that perfectly suit one's own abilities are extremely rare to find in the cultivation world, unless one has a powerful force backing them up.

If Lin Shan is a rogue cultivator, that's fine, but if he really comes from a prestigious sect, then things won't be easy for me in the future!

He recalled what had just happened. Not only were the opponent's two star-based divine abilities powerful, but the ability to extract luck was also extremely cunning and definitely not an ordinary inheritance. This made him suspicious.

However, considering his combat experience, it doesn't seem like he has received systematic training from a sect. He seems to fall somewhere between being a formally trained professional and a rogue cultivator, making it unclear what his background is.

That's enough.

Elder Huang thought for a while but couldn't figure it out. Since the enmity was already formed and there was no way to undo it, he decided to think about how to handle the situation first.

The other party will definitely take this opportunity to enter Qiyun Ridge of Luoxia Mountain. It is a trade hub between the South China Sea and the outside world, with an unprecedented scale and a large flow of people. It has countless cultivation resources and is an excellent place for recovery and recuperation.

I can't just stand around waiting outside, so I might as well follow him and keep a close eye on his next move.

Thinking about his life's work, he still had some influence in Nankaido, and even some connections in Qiyunling. Perhaps this time it would come in handy.

Having made up his mind, he immediately flew back and transformed into a rainbow, heading north once more.

As the sun was about to set.

After a long and arduous journey, Lin Shan finally arrived at the location marked on the map: the northwest corner of the South China Sea, where it connects with the inland areas of the Cloud Wind Immortal Realm.

Luoxia Mountain.

At this moment, the sun is setting, and the horizon is covered with a crimson sunset. In the center of the huge semicircle, a series of continuous mountain ranges are reflected, like a lifelike painting unfolding.

Streaks of black lines and dots flew across the sky from time to time, and the number of cultivators coming and going gradually increased. Below, the cloud continent opened up many roads, and some people rode spirit beasts or traveled on them in carriages and sedan chairs.

Until one day, the sun had set halfway down the mountainside.

Lights began to appear on the back of the mountain, and then, as if by unspoken agreement, the entire mountainside, from the summit to the foot, lit up!
If you look closely, you can see that it is divided into several areas, each with its own bustling and quiet places, forming a circle around its respective center.

This should be the market area inside.

Looking at the map, Lin Shan saw that there were as many as thirty-three cultivation markets in Qiyun Ridge of Luoxia Mountain. It seemed that the back of the mountain was not the only one; there were more on the front and in other places.

He had already put away the Xuanwu Spirit Boat. After all, it's better to keep a low profile and not flaunt your wealth.

Flying all the way to the foot of the mountain, we found a protective array there, stacked in hundreds or thousands of layers, whose mere presence sent chills down our spines.

He landed on the ground and joined the queue with the crowd, amidst a constant cacophony of noise.

This long line stretched for several miles, with more than a dozen other lines beside it, all trying to get into the city before dark.

I waited for about half an hour!
It wasn't until it was completely dark that we finally arrived at the mountain gate.

Two rows of monks in blue robes stood on duty, with a fence in the middle. Two old men sat behind a table, taking care of the left and right rows respectively, and registering the identity information of people entering the city.

When it was Lin Shan's turn to come forward, the old man on the left didn't even raise his head, and immediately followed the previous person with a formulaic question.

"Name, cultivation level, age, Dharma name, purpose of entering the city, and when you will leave." (End of this chapter)
