Immortal Road.

Chapter 597: Finding a new way to sneak into Chencang

On the road.

Lin Shan was not idle and began to interrogate Zhi Lian Zhenren in the Soul-Locking Pot.

"Besides waiting for the right time to open automatically and activating the star power to enter in advance, is there any other way to enter Yuxing Cave Mansion?"

He felt a great sense of urgency.

The spirit of the Zichen Star Ring has already gone in. After his good brother Young Master Jiuyou has sent him away, it will probably not take long for him to go in as well.

No reason, just certainty and affirmation!
Based on his understanding of the Young Master of Jiuyou, Lin Shan believed that he was a man with a determined goal and decisive actions.

Yu Xing has been secretly planning for sixty years and there is no way he would hesitate at the critical moment. Once he finds a shortcut, he will definitely seize the opportunity without hesitation!
He knew that his second brother was also coveting it, so he would not leave the opportunity for later.

Lin Shan didn't know how much star power he had reserved and how many people he could bring in.

But that didn't stop him from wanting to go in earlier.

Once the Zichen Star Ring Spirit and Young Master Jiuyou are given enough time to explore, by the time I go in, I’m afraid it will be too late!
The soul of Zhi Lian Zhenren had been locked in the Soul-Locking Pot these days, feeling suffocated and anxious. He begged Lin Shan again and again to release him. Now, when he heard that someone wanted a favor from him, he immediately spared no effort to demonstrate his value.

"Sir, the secret treasure of Yuxing is hidden deep in Yuxing Cave Mansion. It is opened under the projection cycle of Zichen Star. Generally speaking, it is a cycle of sixty years. If a large amount of star power is activated, it can indeed be entered in advance, but there are other ways."

"."

Lin Shan waited quietly for him to speak. Zhi Lian Zhenren could only peek at the calm face outside through the mouth of the pot.

He swallowed his saliva and found that he failed to whet the other party's appetite. Fearing that he might upset this evil star, he did not dare to keep the suspense any longer and quickly continued his sermon.

"In addition to activating star power, there are also soul sacrifice, blood sacrifice, corpse evil activation, magnetic field disruption, void shuttle and other methods."

"Wait a minute!"

Lin Shan was able to remain calm just now, but now he immediately felt a little confused.

"so much?"

He originally thought that it would be very difficult. He was afraid that he would lag behind the Purple Star Ring Spirit and his good brother Young Master Jiuyou for a long time. He was so anxious that he felt like an ant on a hot pan!
As a result, this is it?
"Ahem, wait for me to finish."

Zhenren Zhi Lian was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he told him that Yuxing Cave was not that simple and had three layers of barriers.

"The first layer is a hidden zone. The entrance is hidden in various places in the Star Devouring Mountains. It is extremely difficult to find. It requires a large number of professional prospectors to conduct archaeological excavations and spend a lot of time to explore in a targeted manner before it is possible to find it."

"There are no more than six or seven sects around here that have this ability and know about Yuxing's secret treasure. I don't know about those farther away."

"The thousands of disciples we trained in the Star Swallowing Sect were all experts in this field, but unfortunately they were all destroyed by the Purple Star Ring Spirit."

Speaking of this, he felt extremely heartbroken. He had cultivated those disciples for a whole sixty years, poured a lot of effort into them, and it was not worthy of telling outsiders.

Lin Shan nodded. It seemed that the place where the Zichen Star Ring Spirit entered just now was an entrance.

"How many entrances did you find?"

"Five!"

Zhi Lian Zhenren said with certainty that this was the result of decades of hard work by him and Hongdong Patriarch, and it was also to be prepared in case of any eventuality.

Some entrances may not open as scheduled, some may be too dangerous, some may have too fierce competition, and some may be occupied by others first.

Each entrance has a carrying capacity limit. When the number of people passing through reaches a certain level, it will collapse, so there must always be multiple options and multiple paths.

Lin Shan was thoughtful.
It seems that it would be best if I don't go down the path that the Zichen Star Ring Spirit took to enter.

Firstly, he was afraid that the old guy had left some backup plans or traps. Given his attainments in formation, it was probably no joke. Secondly, he would not leave any benefits for himself.

"Choose the entrance on the first level, then the teleportation altar on the second level."

Speaking of this, Zhi Lian Zhenren corresponds to the previous methods.

"The teleportation altar has a unique space belt. The cave it connects to is deep in the starry sky. The middle is similar to a teleportation channel, so it requires a huge amount of energy support."

"Because of the repulsion between the vital energy and the channel, in order to prevent external forces from breaking the operating rules of the cave's opening time, True Lord Yuxing set up a spiritual energy weakening formation. Therefore, if you want to break through the second level, you can only use the several unorthodox methods I mentioned above."

In short, Yuxing Cave opens once every sixty years.

In order to prevent outsiders from breaking the rules and forcing their way in to disrupt the smooth operation of the cave, Master Yuxing has set up many protective measures and will not allow teleportation unless the time comes.

But there are always loopholes in everything, it's not that there are no solutions at all.

Zhi Lian Zhenren began to explain the methods he listed one by one. They were all verified after the cave was opened last time, in order to be put into practice next time.

"First of all, there is no need to explain much about the star power stimulation. As long as there is a continuous supply of star power, a one-way entrance channel can be opened at the teleportation altar. This is also in line with the screening mechanism of Yuxing inheritance."

"The second soul sacrifice, burning a large number of spirits and souls as driving resources, can also force the transmission channel to be activated."

"The third is the blood sacrifice of living beings. Offering a large number of living people to the altar can also open a blood channel."

"The fourth is to stimulate corpse evil spirits. This requires a large number of corpses that have been dead for no more than two months to be refined into corpse evil spirits to attack and forcefully break through the channel. The drawback is that the transmission process is extremely unstable and can easily fall into spatial turbulence."

"The fifth is magnetic field disruption. Using the power of the magnetic field to distort the transmission channel is equivalent to shortening and folding the original transmission distance, allowing it to pass quickly in a very short time."

"The sixth is void travel. There is no need to explain this. Unless you have a void-related magic weapon or the strength of a great master, you can only think about it."

"According to the Purple Star Ring Spirit, there are some more ancient methods, but the conditions are very harsh, otherwise it would not choose to consume star power to break through."

The spirit of the Zichen Star Ring is isolated and helpless, and can only use star power, but the cultivators outside have more options.

Lin Shan suddenly understood.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have star power, it’s okay to take other shortcuts!

Good brother, let him show off for a while!

however,
After Zhi Lian and he analyzed it carefully, they found that other methods were not that simple either.

With so many souls needed for soul sacrifice, we either have to find some ghosts to capture them, or we have to carry out a large-scale killing!
There are not many ghost dens in this world, and there are usually ghost kings. If you go and capture a large number of them, you are simply seeking death.

Killing people on a large scale and collecting souls will definitely not work in the human world, and will make you the public enemy of the cultivation world. The same goes for hunting demons.

If you hunt the souls of monsters, you will have to use more of them if you don't have enough spiritual power. I'm afraid you will have to search everywhere and it will take a lot of time.

The same is true for blood sacrifices. Abducting so many humans would make too much noise and easily attract other people's attention.

As for the activation of corpse evil, it is similar to the previous two. They are both demonic methods and will inevitably lead to killing.

It is normal for the magnetic field to be disturbed, the key is that he won’t do it!

Traveling through the void, this feeling the Void Butterfly might have the chance to take me on a journey.

He glanced into the spirit beast ring and found that Xiaodie was still transforming. At this moment, she was still in a cocoon, waiting to break out of the cocoon and be reborn.

"Sir, in my opinion, the most convenient method is the blood sacrifice of living beings!"

Zhi Lian Zhenren expressed his thoughts.

"We will go to the mortal world and capture hundreds of thousands of mortals and use them all as blood sacrifices. This will be enough to break through the second layer and destroy the star array on the third layer as well!"

The third layer of the star array is the final protective umbrella for Yuxing Cave.

But it can be destroyed by violence.

Using the power of the second-level altar to open up the channel, as long as it is strong enough, you can use the transmission channel to forcefully break through! This is a common point between the second and third levels.

If the energy accumulated previously is not enough, and then you break through the second layer, but almost fail to break through the third layer, it is equivalent to failing at the last moment, and you have to return empty-handed!

“Does it require the blood sacrifice of so many people?”

"necessary!"

Zhi Lian Zhenren told him that this was a conservative estimate, and in reality the more the better, just in case of emergency.

"What was your plan before the Star Swallowing Gate? Was it just to wait for the natural cycle to enter?"

Lin Shan was in a dilemma, because kidnapping hundreds of thousands of mortals for blood sacrifice was an act that carried too much karma, and he was afraid that he could not handle it.

The more karma one has, the harder it will be to break through the realm of cultivation. This is something that must be noticed.

Besides, if you make such a big fuss, aren't you obviously telling the entire cultivation world that there is something wrong with you? And when that happens, it will attract everyone's attention. How can you proceed in secret?

"Sir, we had a plan before we set up the Star Swallowing Gate. That was to move all the people of the entire country of Guo here for a blood sacrifice!"

Why did the Star-Swallowing Sect occupy the State of Guo? Why did Li Yuanjie become the prince of a fallen country? It turns out the truth is like this!
"We have actually secretly relocated nearly hundreds of thousands of people over the years and hid in a valley somewhere in the Star Devouring Mountains."

"Because it is carried out gradually in batches, it will not attract the attention of the surrounding cultivation world. When the time comes, no one will know, which will make it convenient for us to sneak in early."

"As long as you give the order now, we can bring them all here for blood sacrifice!"

Speaking of this, Lin Shan was suddenly shocked!
Good guy!
This group of people actually have this kind of shady operation!
He found that he had underestimated these people. After decades of planning, how could they not have some backup plans?

Well, since Zhi Lian Zhenren knew it, there was no reason why Hong Dong Patriarch, who lived with him day and night, didn’t know it!
Even Taoist An Chun, who was far away in the Star-Swallowing Gate providing logistical support for the two of them, might know!
He suddenly turned around to look at the old quail and asked in a sinister tone.

"Is there anything else you're hiding from me?"

Taoist An Chun had been secretly observing Lin Shan. Seeing him speaking in secret to the magic pot, he guessed that he was torturing Zhi Lian Zhenren.

Now that I was suddenly asked this question, I felt a little uncomfortable. I didn't know what this evil star was referring to, so I could only grit my teeth and say no.

"Really?"

"Not really."

Lin Shan did not ask too many questions, but looked into the distance, lost in thought.

the other side.

"What? You said you have relocated hundreds of thousands of people and hid them in the Star Devouring Mountains?"

Young Master Jiuyou was overjoyed!

The Hongdong Patriarch had no choice but to report this news.

Because the second-generation demon in front of him has decided to use star power to break in.

He also planned to bring the guardian Wu in with him!
By then, his layout of the Star-Swallowing Gate would no longer be of any use. Instead of doing that, it would be better to make use of the waste. Maybe he could even please the Young Master of Jiuyou.

As it turned out, this trick really worked.

"If this is true, and you really saved me this amount of star power, then after the trip to Yuxing's secret treasure is over, I can promise to set you free!"

Young Master Jiuyou was very generous and swore seriously on his soul!
It is just to make the Hongdong ancestor assist him wholeheartedly.

When the Hongdong ancestor saw the future, he immediately knelt down on the ground, trembling all over. He was so excited!

"Thanks to the young master's generosity, I will definitely help you. I have been into Yuxing Cave Mansion once. Although I was not able to go deep, I was able to provide some information from inside."

"Master Zhi Lian doesn't necessarily know more than me. Other sects and forces definitely don't know as much as I do!"

Young Master Jiuyou was very satisfied and helped him up with both hands:

"I used my magic to torture you many times before. I was reckless. I apologize to you here."

"No, no, it's not like that. I was the one who had the evil thoughts first. I have brought this upon myself. I can't blame anyone else."

"This time the Yuxing secret collection is over, if you don't mind, I can invite you to my Jiuyou Sect to be a guardian. Now that we have the support of the Demon Lord Kurong, the restoration of the sect is just around the corner!"

"The Demon Lord Ku Rong is the one from Shenyuan Oze."

"Exactly!"

The Hongdong Patriarch quickly agreed.

Demon Lord Kuruo is very famous in Jin State, how could he not know about it?
I originally thought that after I finished the Yuxing Secret Treasure, the Star Swallowing Sect would be gone. After sacrificing hundreds of thousands of lives, I simply didn't stay in Jin State anymore, and went to another country's cultivation world to hide my identity and start over.

However, his ambush on the Zhoutian star body failed, the Zichen Star Ring spirit was defeated and fled, and he was captured. All his hard work was destroyed in an instant, and he almost thought that his life was over!

Now, the sky is bright and the dead trees are coming back to life, which gives him hope again.

Following Young Master Jiuyou seems to be a good choice.

Compared to the other two people, Taoist Zhi Lian and Taoist An Chun, one had his soul detained and the other was forced to tell fortunes, which was really miserable.

What still makes him heartbroken is that all the disciples and team members he had trained for so many years were drained away by the Purple Star Ring Spirit.

Well, right?

Something suddenly occurred to him.

"Young Master, there is one more thing I forgot to remind you."

"Whatever it is, you can tell me."

Young Master Jiuyou's attitude towards Old Ancestor Hongdong is now extremely good, which is completely different from before.

"The hundreds of thousands of humans hiding in the Swallowing Star Mountains are not only known to me, but also to Zhilian Zhenren and Anchun Taoist of the Swallowing Star Sect! They are both under the command of the Xungu Sect Master, so maybe they know it too."

"Oops! I almost forgot!"

Young Master Jiuyou slapped his head and immediately could not sit still anymore.

He could imagine that his second brother thought he could use the star power to break through the Yuxing Cave and get in first, so he must be very anxious and try every possible way to find a chance to get in.

If one of Zhilian Zhenren and Anchun Taoist fails to keep the secret, the chance of leakage will increase greatly!
He immediately ordered the guardian Wu beside him.

"Hurry, set off now. We must capture those mortals who are offering blood sacrifices before my second brother does!"

I don't know.

In a valley somewhere in the Star Devouring Mountains.

A mysterious man stood in mid-air, looking at the huge and hidden cellars below, with the occasional wisp of smoke rising from them, and the scattered terraces around them.

Everything seems extremely natural, yet subtly discordant.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

“Finally found it, it’s here”
