Immortal Road.

Chapter 833: Turning danger into fortune, parting advice

Lin Shan's eyes narrowed.

He was familiar with this thing and had a very deep memory of it.

A replica of Tongtian Lingbao, the Soul-Grabbing Bell!
At that time, the Ghost Cave Inspector only relied on this thing, and without being present at the scene from a distance through the void passage, he was able to make the four people on his side, including the Lord of Jueyin Palace, suffer a fate worse than death.

Now that he is dead, the treasure is left behind for nothing.

The Xuli Insect King fiddled with it back and forth, trying to study its use. After all, he was not very familiar with the human race.

But unexpectedly, when it forcibly erased all traces of its original owner and prepared to refine it to find out the truth.

suddenly,

"Ding-ling-ling-ling~~~"

All the Zergs below were twitching wildly in pain, and the tentacles on their heads were shaking as if they were being electrocuted!
Even Lin Shan felt a black screen before his eyes, and his soul seemed to be leaving his body in an instant!
The small bell emitted a bronze light, and faintly overlapping with the void, there was a huge bell being activated somewhere far away, and the sound of the bell could be heard from such a distance.

It brightly illuminates the entire hall!

"How dare you! Who is making trouble?"

Xuli Insect King was furious. Looking at the insect souls flying around, a spiritual consciousness that far surpassed that of the entire venue surged, pressing all the souls that had left their bodies back to their places.

And from behind the bell, a surprised question came:

"Who disturbed my meditation by disturbing the Soul-Grabbing Bell?"

The eerie and devilish sound pierced one's ears. The overlapping noises made one feel extremely uncomfortable, as if there were pieces of iron rubbing against each other.

However, neither party could see the other. They only temporarily used the derivative projection of the Soul-Grabbing Bell to transmit messages across the void with the help of the ringing sound.

"Are you Lord Youzhu?"

The Xuli Insect King immediately guessed the identity of the opponent through the Ghost Inspector.

"Hmm? Which fellow Taoist killed my patrol officer?"

Lord Youzhu reacted quickly as well and guessed what had happened immediately. He did not get angry right away but instead asked about the whole story first.

Both sides fell silent for a moment.

Although the Void Zerg are not afraid of any force in this world, they do not want to cause trouble. After all, the other party is a powerful soul, and their subordinates can just kill him in secret without deliberately telling the other party.

Lord Youzhu over there was still asking again and again, but there was no response from this side. All the Zergs were silent and Lin Shan also held his breath.

A quarter of an hour later, the projection power of the Soul-Grabbing Bell was exhausted, and the other side had to cut off the connection.

"Click~"

The small bell broke apart on its own and shattered onto the table.

Xuli Insect King breathed a sigh of relief, then laughed to comfort Lin Shan:
"Okay, it's no big deal. My moves are always flawless. All traces will disappear in the turbulent flow of the void in an instant. That fellow, Lord Youzhu, won't be able to find out anything."

Lin Shan hurriedly expressed his gratitude, saying that the Xuli Insect King really helped him a lot this time!

"This insect nest base camp is protected by the remaining shadow left by the Queen Mother. The outside world cannot track the specific location. Don't worry!"

The Zergs below were eating and drinking as usual, and obviously did not take the matter seriously.

"The remaining shadow of the Queen Mother of Xuchao"

Lin Shan felt relieved. It seemed that the source of the problem had been cut off. His crisis had been resolved. Although it was a serious disaster, it could be turned into a blessing.

"If it weren't for the fact that my mother has been away from home in recent years, I would have relied on myself to guard the house. Even if the other party knew about it, it wouldn't matter. But now that the Wanhui Year is approaching, we still have to be a little more careful."

The Xuli Insect King did not treat Lin Shan as an outsider and explained to him that he was not afraid of him but just did not want to cause trouble.

Lin Shan naturally expressed his understanding.

“It’s just that this magic weapon seems to be a replica of the Tongtian Lingbao. It originally contained a projection of the Tongtian Lingbao and possessed some of its authority and power.”

"I just forcibly refined it and triggered the opponent's main body, causing the projection to be taken back and turned into useless waste."

"This treasure is not ordinary. It is specifically targeted at the soul. Even if I accidentally encounter it, I will be caught off guard."

The Xu Li Insect King sighed, then threw the fragments into the turbulence of the void to destroy the last evidence.

"Eh?"

Lin Shan stretched his hand in the air, wanting to ask for it, but he was a step too late.

He didn't intend to keep it for future use; he was just curious and wanted to use the enhanced panel to identify it to see if he could get any useful information.

It’s a pity that the Xuli Insect King moved too fast.

"Although the material of this thing is good, it has a sixth-level void material, but because of the long-term overload and excessive use of Tongtian Lingbao, it was scrapped as soon as the projection was withdrawn, and the spiritual pattern collapsed into a mess, making it useless."

Xuli Insect King thought Lin Shan wanted to turn waste into treasure and told him that there was no need.

Then the music continued and the dancing continued.

The Zerg musicians' playing and singing were horrible, and the sound of their performances was like noise, but to the Zerg's ears it was like heavenly music, and they were very intoxicated.

Lin Shan was forced to drink the [Insect Breeding Solution] again.

He didn't want to drink, but the Xu Li Insect King's two compound eyes were staring at him, and the densely packed small blocks were flashing with faint light. If he didn't drink, he would be disrespecting him!
The other person had just helped him get rid of a powerful enemy, so he couldn't refuse the kindness and had to hold his nose and drink one cup after another.

I prayed silently that nothing went wrong.

"Come on, fill up, fill up. We haven't had any guests here for a long time. We must give Brother Lin a Mutation drink today!"

Which pot does not open which pot.

When I visit someone else's house, I will make you drink until you fall down. When I visit your house, I will make you drink until you become drunk!

If this isn’t fatal, what is?
Lin Shan looked bad, he felt that his body seemed to be really showing signs of mutation. [Insect Breeding Liquid] was indeed the exclusive secret recipe of the Zerg. He felt his scalp itchy, as if he was about to grow horns!
It would be fine if it had hard horns, as it would be a sign of prominence and have extraordinary implications.

But if I grow tentacles, wouldn’t I become an insect-man?

He quickly gathered all the [Insect Breeding Liquid] that he had drunk, secretly transported it into the Spirit Beast Ring, and asked Xiaodie to help him digest it.

But I didn’t expect that the little ancestor was so picky about food and wouldn’t drink what others left!
He had no choice but to pour these things into the nest of the Xirong insect to see if they could have any effect on the insects he raised.

I don’t know if it was because the [Insect Breeding Liquid] was too overbearing, or because the insects were too unbearable, but a large number of them died in an instant!

The swarm of insects in the Xirong insect nest are the species that Lin Shan has collected while running around everywhere over the years. There are more than a hundred species in total.

But when they encountered the precious liquid of the Void Zerg, they all lay prone and died.

[Insect Breeding Solution] is a tonic suitable for the physique of Void Zerg. It has a strong effect and complex ingredients. Ordinary Zerg are too weak to be nourished and will die on the spot!

Only three kinds of insects survived, namely the Purgatory Melting Worm, the Golden Armored Rhinoceros Beetle, and a flea-like poisonous insect. The last kind of poisonous insect was obtained from Xuan Yong Zhenjun of Wu Dao Sect. Its effect is unknown and no records have been found. He still does not know its purpose.

As more and more [Insect Breeding Fluid] was poured in, the three types of insects inside began to grow. Especially the Purgatory Molten Worms that had been focused on cultivating recently, had begun to show signs of growth after being fed by the volcanic spirit rock.

After a while, one of them began to develop red spots on its body and began to undergo a comprehensive transformation, leaping from stage three to stage four, until suddenly it began to spew fire from its mouth!

Purgatory fire!

Lin Shan was excited. His crappy Netherworld Ghost Fire could finally be replaced. However, the newly born Infernal Devil Fire was still relatively fragile. It would be better to cultivate the Infernal Molten Worm for a while.

Having tasted the sweetness, he no longer resisted the Xuli Insect King's urging to drink, and even slowly took the initiative to welcome it.

This made the Xu Li Insect King even happier. He told him that he had everything of this kind at home, so he could drink as much as he wanted. If it was not enough, he could always add more!

We drank and chatted, and half a day passed in a flash.

Lin Shan suddenly came to his senses and found himself as light as a swallow. He suddenly had some sense of his surroundings. The power was ethereal, yet turbid and heavy, as if it was too heavy to lift, but he could control it slightly.
"Power of the void!"

He was so shocked that he stood up suddenly.

The Xu Li Insect King next to him laughed, and the Zerg below celebrated together.

"Brother Lin, congratulations on your mutation. You have now touched upon some of the mysteries of the Yuan Shen Stage in advance. Although you are still very far from the Void Body, it is still very good!"

Lin Shan suddenly realized that the [Insect Breeding Liquid] of the Void Zerg was so terrifying. He had been drinking it like water for a long time, causing his body to absorb a lot of it unknowingly. Through internal vision, he discovered that his blood, which was originally light blue, now had a hint of blue.

Being able to sense the power of the void is also a talent. Although I can't do anything at the moment, it's better than nothing.

His scalp started to itch, and he realized that he couldn't drink any more, or his tentacles would really grow.

The Xu Li Insect King did not continue to feed him. Apparently, the [Insect Breeding Liquid] was not as much as he had said before. Seeing that he had indeed mutated and developed a talent, he did not continue to provide it. The Zergs in the audience enjoyed a feast, but it finally ended there.

This banquet was a great success for both the guests and the hosts, and it was enough to demonstrate the magnanimity of the Void Zerg.

Lin Shan knew that the other party was taking such good care of him because of the Demon King of the Insect, otherwise he would never have helped him clean up the mess and entertained him.

This time, I owe a favor to both the Xuli Insect King and the Qi Insect Demon King in the Star-Swallowing Mountains. I must repay them when I get the chance.

The matter here is over, and it is inconvenient for him to stay for long. This is enough. Only when he knows the limits can he know when to advance and retreat.

Before leaving, Xuli Insect King gave him a reminder.

"Little Brother Lin, as the Wanhui Year approaches, all the major sacred places will come out one after another. I have a piece of advice for you to keep in mind."

"please say."

"Before you become a great master, never conflict with any holy land! Remember, you must be careful in everything you do."

Lin Shan's heart moved, as if the Lord of Jueyin Palace of the Ca Nu Palace had also said something similar, that only those with great supernatural powers could barely obtain an admission ticket and have the qualification to sit at the chess table.

Now that the Xuli Insect King also said so, they must have their reasons.

It just so happens that I have no idea about Wan Huinian's specific past, so I might as well ask someone who knows the inside story for some information.

"Patriarch Xu, I wonder what the Wanhuinian Holy Land is fighting for?"

The Xuli Insect King looked at him twice and did not answer the question directly. Instead, he advised him not to think about it for the time being.

"You are currently not strong enough to get involved in this mess. The most important thing is to improve your own strength first."

"After a period of preparation, the boiling point of this world has awakened, and the concentration of spiritual energy in heaven and earth is almost reaching its peak. According to calculations, in another thirty years, the first round of spiritual tide will truly erupt!"

"You must remember my words. You cannot participate in this first round. It is best to withdraw your forces and ignore what is happening outside the window. Wait until the spiritual tide passes before escaping."

"You don't have to worry about not getting any benefits, because there will be more than one spiritual tide in the entire Wanhui year, which is enough time for you to catch up."

"If it doesn't work this time, wait until next time. If it doesn't work next time, wait until the next time! You only have one life, but you have many opportunities."

“Don’t let others take advantage of you. Stick to your heart, resist temptation, and endure loneliness. The one who laughs last is the real winner!”

The Xu Li Insect King has obviously witnessed history and knows a lot of inside information. The Void Zerg have never personally taken part in the battle, but have maintained a neutral attitude and watched the fight from the sidelines.

The major superpowers in this world will not take the initiative to provoke them, and they have always been at peace with each other, so they see many things and just treat them as passing clouds.

Lin Shan nodded silently, and when he thought about the attitude of the Lord of Jueyin Palace before, he immediately had a rough estimate of Wan Huinian's cruelty.

I still have a long way to go, so I'd better listen to people's advice and eat my fill. There's no need to be competitive.

"As long as you don't provoke the Holy Land, you can still walk sideways in this world in the Nascent Soul Stage. There is no need to be too restrained. Just know your limits."

The Xuli Insect King packed a few jars of [Insect Breeding Liquid] and gave it to him to drink on his way back. It was obvious that he could see that tentacles were about to grow on his head, so he wanted to be a good insect and send the insect to the west.

Lin Shan expressed his gratitude profusely and marveled at the magnanimity of the Void Zerg.

Then he followed the passage specially opened for him, descended layer by layer along the insect nest from top to bottom, and returned to the main world from the void outside the sky.

Coming out of the exit, there is a vast Gobi desert with raging sandstorms.

Turning around to look again, I saw a sky-high insect nest that reached the sky with no end in sight. I wonder how much effort the Zerg put into this great project.

This is the core area of ​​the Xuchao Queen's Territory. No one has been here for who knows how long.

A rainbow of light appeared in the forest and mountains, and we determined the direction and headed north.

In the void beyond the sky, somewhere in a gloomy and spooky place.

"The envoy who was patrolling the western part of the continent has died. Send someone to secretly investigate what major events have occurred there recently."

"I will obey your orders!"

A man in black robe lowered his head and stood still, deeply shocked.

The one in charge of patrolling the western part of the continent is one of the confidants of Lord Youzhu, and possesses a specially granted replica of the Tongtian Lingbao. How could he be killed like this?

Could it be that the murderer is some great soul master?
Who did that guy offend to have him suffer such an early defeat at the beginning of the Wanhui Year? It seems that he must be more careful in his future actions.

"Okay, if nothing happens, you can go down first."

Lord Youzhu waved his hand, feeling annoyed for no reason and was very confused about this matter.

Who is the other party, why did he kill his subordinates, and even tried to refine the replica of the Soul-Grabbing Bell?

He raised his hand and a bunch of sound transmission notes flew over.

They were all letters sent from various places, some of which invited him to participate in the Holy Lord Conference, organized by the Lord of the East Penglai Holy Land, to discuss arrangements for the early stage of the Wanhui Year.

He had no interest in looking at it, but burned it directly, then closed his eyes and continued his meditation.

"Thirty years later, the first round of spiritual tide will erupt soon."
