Immortal Road.

Chapter 344: Immortal and Demon Cultivation, Bowing to Qingyang

A blue and green rainbow flashed across the sky.

In order to avoid the encirclement and suppression of the tribal alliance, Lin Shan no longer used his soul power to fly, but instead used his new wind and thunder magic power to travel.

When he broke through the Jindan stage, he had no magic power yet, but his soul power was directly rendered from gray to colorful, and the Rainbow Transformation Technique also turned into a colorful rainbow light. Now basically all the barbarians can recognize it.

It's almost become his trademark.

I flew across the sky, leaving behind a rainbow, which was really ostentatious.

Even though these barbarian tribes had been robbed by me once, they were afraid and dared not provoke me, but it did not affect their secret transmission of messages to the big tribe.

In order to save trouble, Lin Shan switched to the magic power turning into rainbow technique provided by the "Wind and Thunder Art", which is fast and not easy to be recognized. It is much more useful than the soul power turning into rainbow technique provided by the previous "Yellow Bamboo Divine Method".

"I feel like I can play different roles in front of strangers in the future. After all, I can use both soul power and magic power. As long as I change my aura and appearance, I will be completely different."

While Lin Shan was on his way, he was thinking about how to build his dual personality.

Do you want to create a substitute character?
Is it hidden specifically to take the blame for the public character?

After all, there is only one person who can take the scapegoat now, the man from Xiongshan, and it seems not enough!
Moreover, in some of the places I have been to, the nickname "Bear Mountain Man" has been ruined by me and is no longer suitable to be used.

It's time to put a new vest on the agenda.

During the time he was thinking, he crossed over Xiaoyizhou for thousands of miles and saw that the land below gradually changed from prairie to mountains, lakes, rivers and hills.

As for the tribal alliances that were besieging him, they were left far behind by him before they could catch up with him.

With the current escape speed of "Wind and Thunder Art", as well as the magic power, it is far superior to those of the same level, and is not much inferior to the late Jindan stage.

By the time they reacted, Lin Shan had already arrived in the southern part of Xiaoyizhou.

He heard from the natives that the south had been occupied by outsiders, which made him a little wary.

Unlike the indigenous tribes, the human monks from the outside world are definitely not ordinary people. Each of them is experienced and knowledgeable, so you still have to be careful.

Especially now that he is alone, how to sneak in and find out the information has become a problem he needs to consider.

And the appearance of Sailor Moon also sounded a wake-up call for him.

If Zhong Shenxiu and Young Master Jiuyou had not been trapped in the space turbulence, they would have most likely come here. The key is that with their intelligence, during the past few months of their breakthroughs and plundering, they might have already penetrated into the interior of the foreign forces.

If you barge in foolishly, you will most likely fall into a trap.

"I remember when I was in the Moya tribe, Motie seemed to have said that there was an internal conflict in the southern part of Xiaoyizhou. I think there should be many forces competing. I can find out a little bit."

He then hid his whereabouts and traveled around.

A few days later, a human city was discovered in a forest.

This city is hidden deep in the mountains and is surrounded by more than a dozen small villages. It also has abundant resources thanks to the nearby forests and lakes.

There are about 50,000 to 60,000 ordinary people, and they are dressed decently, not like the local barbarians.

He sensed from afar and found that there were only a few cultivators in the city, and they were only in the Qi training stage.

Reassured, he walked into the city with a little cover, and in less than a moment he got the information he wanted.

It turned out that these mortals were originally descendants of foreign monks. They could not cultivate immortality without spiritual roots, so they were given a place to live. Later, over a long period of time, they gradually integrated with the local indigenous people, multiplied to a certain size, and formed a secular society.

It is said that there are many such cities, distributed in various places in the southern part of Xiaoyizhou.

Over the years, it has occasionally served as a source of replenishment of immortal seedlings for various families, so there would be some Qi training monks stationed here to screen disciples and resist insect plagues.

The insect plague is still the same two kinds of insects, rhinoceros beetles and black beetles.

This kind of insect is not driven by humans. If it were just wild, it would probably not be able to grow into a powerful force. A cultivator in the Qi training stage is enough.

Lin Shan had almost found out everything among the mortals, and then he came to interrogate the group of Qi training monks who were in charge of the city.

With his current means, he took out the magic weapon, the Phantom Gold Lock, and waved it casually.

These Qi training monks only felt a golden light in front of them, as if there were hazy figures. Their minds also began to become confused and they were dragged into the environment and unable to extricate themselves.

"I am Master Jin Guang, and I have a few questions for you. Answer them well and you will be rewarded!"

Lin Shan looked like a charlatan, thinking that with his Jindan stage cultivation level, it would be a piece of cake to fool a few Qi training stage juniors.
But he didn't expect that just by making up a story, these people's faces changed drastically and they shouted loudly in the illusion.

"Old Demon Jin Guang! Why don't you stay in the Demonic Alliance and come here?"

"You actually came here alone. Don't you know that this city has fallen into the sphere of influence of Qingyang Peak thirty years ago?"

"The evil thief, everyone has the right to kill him, don't try to force us to submit!"

"That's right, we will never betray our master. Don't even think about getting any information from us!"

……

The reaction of these Qi training practitioners was extremely intense, and they seemed to be very familiar with this name.

Lin Shan was stunned. He didn't expect that in such a small Yizhou, there really was such a person as Master Jin Guang!

He just said it casually.

Judging from their tone, they seem to be some high-ranking officials of the Demonic Alliance?
Since there is a Demonic Alliance in Xiaoyizhou, I think there must be an opposing Righteous Alliance!
But, what is this Qingyang Peak that you guys are talking about?

Why does it sound a little familiar?
Lin Shan had never seen a Qi training cultivator who was so fearless and so tough that he dared to speak wildly and confront a Golden Core cultivator of the Demonic Path directly.

He has such a strong sense of belonging to his own faction that he won't even give me any information!
This is probably the loyalty that can only be cultivated by being born in a top-level sect and being influenced by the environment, right?
Ok?
Thirty years ago?

Qingyang Peak?
Top sect?

Could it be
Lin Shan had a bad feeling in his heart and vaguely connected something.

More than thirty years ago, he seemed to be still in the distant Song Dynasty, taking part in the great battle between good and evil and taking advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters, and inadvertently caused a huge mess!

As a result, he missed the opportunity to clear his name within the Song Dynasty during the subsequent retreat.

To be honest, at that time, he was almost accepted as a disciple of Master Pei, the outer sect elder of the Beast Taming Valley, but ultimately failed.

It's such a pity that we are just one step away!

With only a few words, he was still a little unsure and decided to ask more.

"Shh!"

In the illusion, the golden light suddenly transformed into a graceful young man in black robe, waving a folding fan in his hand, looking very elegant and dashing!

"Don't be alarmed, everyone. I am not actually Master Jin Guang. I just tested you on purpose. I didn't expect you to be so loyal and righteous. I really admire you!"

"Allow me to reintroduce myself. I am Wei Wuya, a casual cultivator from the Mekong River in southern Shandong. I am honored to meet you."

Lin Shan activated his magic weapon, manipulated the illusion, and decided to pass the blame to his good brother.

Unexpectedly, this group of people started shouting again!
"Wei Wuya! A rising star of the righteous path!"

"Four months ago, a young genius was suddenly swept into this place by the turbulence of space!"

"It is said that this person is a disciple of the Jingudong lineage of the Longmen sect of Quanzhen Taoism. His Xuanyin body has achieved the harmony of both yin and yang. He can convert spiritual energy and demonic energy at will. He is extremely mysterious!"

"Because he has killed many Golden Core Masters of the Demonic Path recently, he has climbed to the position of the Hall Master of the Righteous Alliance and has become the vanguard of the battle on the front line!"

"So what if they are from the Righteous Alliance? They are also eyeing our Qingyang Peak covetously. The battle on the front line is in full swing. They are enemies, not friends!"

……

Lin Shan was dumbfounded!

He just tried it casually, but he didn't expect that he could actually cheat it out!

His good elder brother, Young Master Jiuyou, had actually infiltrated the Righteous Alliance of Xiaoyizhou and climbed to the position of hall master in just a few months!
This is too fast!
Ok?
No, he is a young master of the Demonic Path, but he did not join the Demonic Path Alliance, but became a rising star of the Righteous Path. Was he trying to get ahead and cut off the path of another person?

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Shan was afraid that these people would be too resistant to him, so he quickly changed his words.

In the illusion, the young man in black robe changed again and became a handsome young man, polite and gentle.

"You all misunderstood. Just now, that cough was just a deliberate test. I didn't expect you to be so loyal and brave. I am really ashamed of myself!"

"I won't pretend this time. In fact, I really just fell into the space turbulence from the outside world recently. I have no grudges against you. Don't blame a good person!"

"Allow me to introduce myself to you. I am Zhong Shenxiu from Bailu Academy. Nice to meet you all, fellow Taoists!"

……

When these Qi training monks heard this, they were so angry that their lungs exploded and they roared and yelled in anger.

"Zhong Shenxiu! A rising star in the magic world!"

"Three months ago, a ruthless man was suddenly swept into this place by the space turbulence. He is a young man with a natural talent for golden elixir and a true genius of the magic way!"

"He injured our Qingyang Peak's Jindan Zhenren a few days ago, and now he is said to have climbed to the position of guardian of the Demon Alliance and become the vanguard of the front-line battle!"

"The evil thief must be killed by everyone!"

……

Everyone in Linshan was dumbfounded!

Zhong Shenxiu, a rising star in the magic world?
Where is this going?
How could a cultivator from a Confucian background like him join the devil's sect?

Lin Shan couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. He had to accept that the Young Master of Jiuyou was good at both good and evil things, after all, he had a Xuanyin body.

But why did Zhong Shenxiu do that?
Could it be that he also knows the magic skills? Cultivating both immortality and magic? Is he hiding it so deeply?

The dual cultivation of immortals and demons is different from Lin Shan’s dual cultivation.

It's just practicing two kinds of skills at the same time, not two branching paths. The golden elixir is still the same, just with an extra identity and means.

However, practicing dual cultivation is prone to going astray, so who among the average person would dare to try it?

Spiritual energy and demonic energy are inherently incompatible. If it weren't for the mysterious Yin body of Young Master Jiuyou, it would be easy for his meridians to become disordered, his magic power to run wild, and not only would his elixir explode, but it is also possible that his body would explode and he would die.

One wrong move and your temperament will become unpredictable and moody, and being invaded by inner demons will make things even worse.

Moreover, the life span of a Jindan stage is 400 years, which is not enough time to focus on one technique. How can one practice both immortal and devil cultivation? He is simply bored!

However, Lin Shan knew that Zhong Shenxiu was not only blessed with great luck, but was also a true genius in the way of immortality.

After ambushing the Dai family's Jindan Zhenren in Wangyue City, the skeleton had said this when he and the Black Skull Demon Lord were discussing the future path of cultivation and finalizing the method of dual cultivation of Jindan and Soul Dan.

Dual cultivation must be a level that only the geniuses of the immortal path can achieve.

Every genius in the immortal way must have something that ordinary people cannot reach.

Zhong Shenxiu is younger than Lin Shan. He does not have the soul source to provide him with nourishment continuously. Naturally, he does not have the capital to practice soul pills, but it is very possible for him to practice both immortal and demonic skills at the same time.

Of course, it is not ruled out that he has eaten some rare treasures, or has some special treasures, or even a special physique that can assist him in dual cultivation, but these are unknown to outsiders.

When Lin Shan heard that this kid was doing very well in the Xiaoyizhou Magic Alliance, he knew that things were going to be difficult.

In just four months, one of these two people became the hall master of the Righteous Alliance, and the other became a high-ranking guardian of the Demonic Alliance. Where was there any place for them to stay?

Just because he broke through to the Jindan stage and plundered the tribe in the north, he missed the best opportunity.

He was one step slow, and every step was slow. He was overtaken by these two.

This makes me extremely passive now.

No wonder Sailor Moon didn’t come to the south, but went to the big tribe of Yulian in the north.

I guess he knew he couldn't win against the two of them here, so he had to go far away and find another way out.

Lin Shan frowned, knowing full well how difficult it was for his two sworn brothers to deal with.

One has a Xuanyin body, the other practices dual cultivation of immortal and devil, he is good at both good and evil, and he can switch between the two identities at will, and he is so good at playing with all kinds of tricks!

It seems I have to keep up with the times!
But fortunately, I have now entered the real Jindan stage. At least my combat power is enough to protect myself, and I don’t have to be too timid about many things.

Now that the naturally divided camps of righteousness and evil have been taken away by his two brothers, he definitely cannot go.

But isn’t Qingyang Peak, which suddenly fell here thirty years ago, just a choice?
An idea quickly flashed through Lin Shan's mind, and he pondered it over and over again, weighing its feasibility.

He activated the Phantom Golden Lock again, forcibly stimulating the environment and firmly controlling these Qi training monks.

"Everyone, I'm really going to show my cards this time. I won't pretend anymore!"

"In fact, Master Jin Guang, Wei Wuya, and Zhong Shenxiu are all made up by me. I am testing you on purpose!"

"I am from the Song Dynasty."

……

"Fuck you, who are you kidding?"

"Things never happen more than three times. Do you really think we are three-year-old children?"

"You evil thief, stop pretending. We have seen through your identity long ago!"

"When you leave here, we will immediately report to Qingyang Peak and make sure you never come back!"

"Hahaha, our Qianyun Pavilion is a top-level sect, and Qingyang Peak is ranked in the top five. The peak master, Qingyang Zhenren, has been immersed in the late Jindan peak for hundreds of years. The entire sect is made up of elites. It is better to have nothing than to have something less than perfect. Sooner or later, they will be able to lead us out of Xiaoyizhou!"

"You kid, are you our enemy and want to get information?"

……

"Oh!"

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Lin Shan had a blank expression on his face. He clenched his hands downwards. These people had no power to resist at all. They all exploded to death after he searched their souls.

"Yes, I am indeed an enemy of your Qianyun Pavilion. I never expected to meet you here. It can be considered a kind of fate."

Seeing that he couldn't fool them, he simply didn't bother to waste time with these minions.

He closed his eyes and reviewed the fragments he had searched in his mind, then took the storage bags from these people and looked through them.

Without hesitation, he walked away.

Seven days later.

Somewhere in the southern part of Xiaoyizhou.

There is a majestic and magnificent sacred mountain with a variety of landscapes. Palaces are scattered around in an orderly manner, and various layouts are in line with Feng Shui. Outside the mountain, there are layers of formations and pavilions and towers with obvious restrictions.

A young man in white clothes walked slowly over, knocked on the door and paid his respects.

"This is the Qingyang Peak base, who is coming?"

The Taoist priest Shoushan appeared, wearing a blue and white Taoist robe, with the demeanor of a great sect, and spoke to question.

The young man smiled and bowed slightly.

"My surname is Lin, my Taoist name is Lei Fengzi. I have no relatives here and I came here to seek refuge after hearing about your clan. Please inform me, fellow Taoist!"
