Immortal Road.

Chapter 647: Soul Enters the Netherworld, Breaks the Star Pupil

By the Xinghai Sea, Lin Shan helped his eldest brother up, and the two brothers sat cross-legged on the beach.

"Hua Hua Hua~~~"

Layer after layer of tides came and went, leaving behind blue star foam and unknown seaweed. The Yuxing portal space was slowly collapsing, and the cracks in the sky were getting bigger and bigger.

"A fallen leaf lives only to return to its roots. A human life is but a drop in the ocean."

The young master of Jiuyou muttered to himself, the illusions before his eyes were blurry and yet crystal clear.

He thought of his childhood and youth, growing up in darkness, climbing in desperate situations, fighting while raising poisonous insects, and step by step ascending to the position of young master of a major clan.

He also thought of his youth and middle age, when he was displaced and fled thousands of miles. He was given inheritance by the sect, given high hopes by his teachers, and placed his hopes in others by his subordinates.

The weight he bears is far beyond others' imagination!

It's a pity that despite all the calculations and cautions, he still fell into the hands of the person he trusted the most.

"I tried my best. Good timing is no match for wisdom, and wisdom is no match for supernatural powers. Zi Chengqian is more capable than me."

A heavy sigh echoed around for a long time.

Of course, he hadn't finished his words yet, supernatural powers were no match for fate. Zi Chengqian's cleverness backfired, and he got beaten by Lin Shan. One can only say that this kid was indeed quite evil.

"Second brother, I know you are very well hidden. You are able to surpass Zi Chengqian in terms of fate, so your background must be quite impressive."

"You also have a spiritual treasure that has been suppressing me all this time, and even shielding me from sensing. This means you also have a spiritual treasure in your hands."

"After Zi Chengqian obtained the Phantom Star Gate, he would definitely notice the lack of the matching Star Gate sub-device. Coupled with the informant from the guardian Wu, he would definitely not let you go after he learned the truth about the incident!"

"You should pay more attention to yourself. His power in Jin State is far beyond your imagination."

Lin Shan nodded silently.

Of course he knew how powerful Zi Chenggan was. After taking over the Lingbao Youxing Gate from the young master Jiuyou, this feud naturally fell to him.

There is no disappearance, just a change of person.

"Brother, I actually have another way to take you out temporarily. After all, your life span is not over yet, so it's still not too late for me to take over someone else's body in a short period of time."

"You are talking about the Seven Evil Soul Locking Technique, right? I know you can do it, but you don't have to."

Young Master Jiuyou let out a long sigh and looked towards the horizon.

Taking over someone else's body is an act of self-destruction. Your cultivation will regress and all your talents will be lost. What's the point of living like this?
Besides, where can one find a living person whose attributes and conditions completely match his own in such a short time?

If you take over the body of someone with higher cultivation, the other party's future has already been determined and the foundation has been set, so the new body can only be patched up and used as is.

Taking over the body of someone with lower cultivation is equivalent to starting over again. Needless to say, the resources consumed, and the upper limit of this life is also determined, and one can only recover to the previous level.

Skynet is restored, sparse but not leaking.

Once you become the one who possesses another's body, according to the rules, your ceiling will be the cultivation level of your predecessor in the late Jindan period, and you will be stuck there forever without any progress!

Otherwise, why would the old monsters in the big sects of the cultivation world devote their wholeheartedly to training talented disciples? They might as well just take over other people’s bodies and change their bodies!
Therefore, why in the biographical novels of the cultivation world.

Those protagonists all start out as "reincarnated and reborn".

Only true reincarnation can start over.

Only a body that suits you will have unlimited future possibilities!
Someone else's body is always just a parasite.

Parasitism cannot break through the realm or improve cultivation.

Young Master Jiuyou has his own pride, so how could he get caught in his own trap and linger on for the rest of his life without being able to hold his head up?
A miserable life is worse than a good death, and is the property of weaklings who have lost their fighting spirit and have no hope for the future.

How could he be willing to live in mediocrity, standing still, watching his arch-enemy Zi Chenggan making continuous progress and reaching the top, while he himself had no way to do anything and had to hide around like a sewer rat for the rest of his life?
If he chooses to take over another's body and live in shame, he will no longer be the Young Master of Jiuyou!
Lin Shan naturally understood his elder brother's thoughts. A strong man would not accept charity, so there was no need to say more.

"Second brother, when I am gone, just bury me here. You don't need to take me out. Remember to face northwest. That is the hometown of the Jiuyoumen of the Chu State."

"it is good!"

"After Zi Chengqian leaves, he will most likely let the traitor Wu Hufa return and use my death as an excuse to incite and confuse people, split the remaining branches of Jiuyou Sect, and recruit them under his command."

"So you have to be careful and distinguish which ones are reliable and which ones have betrayed you, so as not to expose yourself and be caught by Zi Chengqian!"

"Of course, when Zi Chengqian returns, he will be busy digesting the spiritual treasures and the legacy of my Jiuyou Sect. He will also be recovering from his injuries and will have no time to take care of other things. This will give you some buffer time."

"."

Lin Shan was speechless after hearing this. This secret technique of awakening the soul was really not easy to learn. Even sending a token would risk one's life.

We have to race against time!
"It's not as dangerous as you think. Zi Chengqian will also become a thorn in the eyes of others."

“When the people of the hundreds of clans in the Star Palace learn that he has obtained the Purple Star Ring, they will naturally turn their attention to him and share the pressure with you.”

"Remember, you must personally hand the token to my disciple, Hao Yun!"

Young Master Jiuyou had a serious look on his face and repeatedly reminded people about this matter.

Lin Shan nodded and agreed that he would do a better job of this matter and fulfill his last wish.

"Brother, go with peace of mind. Perhaps we will meet again in your next life if we are destined to do so."

"No, my soul will not go to the underworld after I die, let alone reincarnation."

He told Lin Shan that anyone in the Jiuyou Sect who had practiced the sect's magical power "One Hundred Ghosts Parade at Night" would sign a contract with different ghost kings in the Jiuyou land.

You can summon the army of Ghost Kings when you are alive, and after you die you must go to the Nine Netherworlds and fight for the Ghost King you have signed a contract with!
The Jiuyou Sect has been like this for generations. There is no reincarnation. If he goes there, he might meet his former elders, who have turned into ghosts and evil spirits and are fighting against them!
It is rumored in the world that the land of Jiuyou is located under the underworld, where those who were extremely vicious in their lifetime gather and it is a place of exile for all kinds of filth and evil.

"If you don't enter the underworld, you won't cross the Naihe Bridge; if you don't cross the Yellow Spring, you won't drink the water of the Forgetful River."

"The only thing that remains unchanged is that I have lost the chance of reincarnation, but have retained my memories of my past life. I will miss you and my third brother in the Netherworld."

"Don't be perfunctory with me. If you don't complete the mission, be careful that I will turn into a ghost and take your life in the future!"

It was a rare joke for Young Master Jiuyou. His open-mindedness before his death diluted the sadness of parting.

The two of them just sat there on the beach.

There is no rising or setting of the sun or the moon, only the ebb and flow of the tide.

At some point, a breeze blew by.

Lin Shan turned around and found that the Young Master Jiuyou was sitting beside him with his head lowered. He looked peaceful, his eyes closed, and a smile on his face. He had passed away suddenly.

His back figure is still so aloof, just like the elegant young man with a folding fan when we first met in Jiangning City.

Although the shoulders are narrow, they can carry a heavy burden.

Although he is in the devil's way, he still retains the purity of affection and friendship.

He carried the expectations of so many people alone, died on the way to fight for the spiritual treasure, died tragically, and his soul went to the underworld.

There were cracks in the sky with lightning and thunder, and the spirit in the cave was still roaring.

Lin Shan was filled with melancholy and desolation.

Life is like this. There are always people coming and going, and eventually become memories. They more or less carry missions, ideals, grudges, and love and hatred.

Aren't we just passers-by in other people's lives?

Until this moment, he once again deeply realized that life is like a chess game, black and white, inside and outside the game, passing clouds and smoke.

A person appeared behind me, and there was no sound of footsteps.

But he guessed who the other person was.

"Third brother, you are here."

The man did not answer, but walked quietly to the front of Young Master Jiuyou, stood there looking down at his elder brother for a long time, and smiled coldly.

"It's really ironic. He is obviously the young master of the Demonic Path, but he still talks about loyalty to others! He died because of the word loyalty."

"Hahahahaha, should I say you're stupid or naive?"

"Even if you don't die at Zi Chengqian's hands today, you will die from these two words someday, because you deserve it!"

Zhong Shenxiu was previously busy on the other side of the star road getting the 'life-extending spiritual object', but he had already seen the whole process.

Now it looks like success, he finally took the elixir and restored the 'Youthful Golden Pill' he had been longing for!
He turned his head and glanced at Lin Shan who was sitting next to him.

"Brother, to be honest, someone wanted to buy your life before you came in, and I also accepted the mission to kill you!"

"Oh, how much is my life worth in the eyes of my third brother?"

Lin Shan didn't move, just looked into the distance, cherishing the brief time he had to send his elder brother off. He seemed to see the free and easy figure walking on the Jiuyou Road.

There was a strange sound in Zhong Shenxiu's throat and his tone was gloomy. How could he look like a genius of Confucianism at all?

"Of course it's valuable. The Wuma tribe offered a sky-high price in order to subdue the Purple Star Ring spirit and destroy the old guy's hope of becoming a human!"

"But I have a new goal now, which is to avenge my stupid brother first!"

"Zi Chengqian, humph, just wait and see!"

"When I return and inherit the three great levels from the founder of the White Deer Academy, I will personally go and settle accounts with him!"

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Lin Shan ignored his willful third brother.

He knew that Zhong Shenxiu was very keen on collecting spiritual objects that could prolong life, as could be seen from the incident in the forbidden area on the cliff. He even had the crazy idea of ​​becoming a "virgin golden elixir"!
This time, they did not take the harvest home but instead took it on the spot. There must be a deeper reason.

But these are not what he needs to consider.

He stood up and found a secluded place nearby and buried his elder brother there according to his last wishes.

Facing northwest, towards the State of Chu.

There is no tombstone or grave mound, it is just buried deep in the ground flatly. I hope that even if later generations come to visit, they will not disturb the deceased's rest.

After doing all this, he turned and headed straight for the fork in the road to the astrology and magical powers!

The entire Yuxing portal stopped shaking at this moment, and the scar in the sky began to heal slowly. This portal should have a repair mechanism, or perhaps the spirits of the cave heaven from the outside world were filling it.

We walked along the way and came to a forest.

After walking through the forest quickly, he found that there were only two sect-protecting magical powers, one of which had been taken away. It was obviously Zi Chengqian's "Star Grid Collision".

He had no choice but to step forward and use the last Yuxing token.

A roll of silver seals popped out from inside, and the enhanced panel was instantly identified.

【Breaking Delusion Star Pupil】

Quality: Magical Spells

Introduction: Gather the power of the Zhoutian stars, borrow the Yi-shu counting sticks, open the eye of wisdom to break through delusion, establish astrological vision, observe the qi and destiny of living beings, and understand the mysterious truth and falsehood.

Enhancement required: 128 points

"!!!"

Lin Shan was excited and felt awe-inspiring. He couldn't wait to open the silver chapter.

After reading the whole article, I roughly understood the usefulness of this magical power.

There are mainly two points:
The point is to see through falsehood and illusion. All hidden things, visible and invisible, are clearly visible in his eyes!
The phantom liquid that I used to apply gradually failed to keep up as my cultivation level improved. Now I finally have a real pupil technique to protect myself.

The second function is more metaphysical.

To put it simply, it is to use the Yi-shu counting sticks, rely on astronomical phenomena and astrology, and then reflect it to the lower world to observe the good or bad fortune of all living beings.

Luck is itself a comprehensive display of a person.

It is fluid, changeable, abstract, adjustable at any time, and reversible.

For example, there was a scholar in the mortal world.

This person may not be well-known at the beginning, but he is destined to have a successful career in the future. From the top of his head, you can see that his luck is burning like oil in a raging fire.

Later, after he becomes an official, he is promoted all the way because of his outstanding political achievements. His luck will become more and more prosperous, and there are signs that he will become very famous.

Later, when this person reaches a high position and has the intention of usurping the throne, his fortune will show signs of a black dragon rising into the clouds and transforming into a dragon.

In the end, the rebellion failed, and all nine clans were implicated, and their destiny turned into the bitter waters of the Black River of resentment.

Everyone's luck will change differently over time and take on a fluid form.

Maybe when you were not doing well in the past, everyone said you had no future, but when you became successful later, everyone would say they were wrong about you.

Or a monk may pick up some important treasure at a certain point in his life, and his fate will change from then on, and his luck will also change accordingly.

This is the magic of fate!

It is even said that every time the ancient holy emperors ascended the throne, they would awaken the "Emperor's Qi-gazing Technique" on their own, and use it to distinguish between good and evil, loyalty and treachery, and talented people.

As the saying goes, all the heroes in the world can be caught in one fell swoop!
Of course, this "Star Pupil that Breaks Delusion" is not that powerful, and it cannot be subdivided into the level of good and evil, loyalty and treachery. It is just a simple observation of the fortune of people with lower cultivation than oneself.

Not only can those with high cultivation levels not be able to detect it, but rash attempts to spy on it may also cause backlash.

The main function is to see through illusions, illusions, concealment, etc.

A pupil technique that is a sect-defining supernatural power, which may not even be possessed by the top sects!

Lin Shan was very satisfied with this. He felt that he had made up for one of his shortcomings. He was improving himself in all aspects and was developing towards becoming a hexagonal warrior.

If you want to take the inheritance away, the rules are similar to the previous ones, which is to comprehend and practice the basics.

The worst standard is to develop the mark of supernatural power.

Otherwise, why did Zi Chenggan spend so much time here?

Obviously, he cultivated the mark of the magical power in order to take it away, and then he was able to fully use this move in the subsequent battle with Lin Shan.

While he was still fresh in his grasp of what he had just learned, he used his star destiny to crush Lin Shan without saying a word. As a result, the Purple Star Lord in the sky suffered a great misfortune and he stood up and ran away!
Lin Shan did not hesitate. He sat down cross-legged and began to comprehend this magical power.

Because it took a lot of time to accompany Young Master Jiuyou on his last journey, he didn't know what the situation in the outside world was like now, and there were more unknowns waiting for him.

Only by mastering the inheritance as soon as possible and taking what you have obtained out safely can this trip be considered complete!
