Immortal Road.

Chapter 834: Dharma Cave Heaven, Flying Ancient Treasure

Cross the vast Gobi Desert and leave the Queen's Territory of Xuchao.

Lin Shan breathed a sigh of relief and used the secret technique of the Flying Book to summon the rhinoceros beetle in the insect nest. He rebuilt a golden insect boat, jumped on it and embarked on the return journey.

This trip to the West Coast was beyond our expectations and full of twists and turns!
Fortunately, Shui Bingyue's expectation has been achieved. She is now hiding in the Star Mansion in seclusion. It should not take long for her to completely integrate the Bingpo inheritance and come out of seclusion in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

Shui Bingyue gave herself a brief account of that inheritance. It was one of the famous inheritances in this world. It was said to have originated from the immortals in the upper realm. It had been passed down several times over the past tens of thousands of years and had had hundreds of owners in total!

Among all the successors, there are only less than three who can reach the Nascent Soul stage, and only one who can reach the Soul Formation stage!
The appearance of Cai Yubing and Shui Bingyue of this generation once again gave the spirit of this inheritance hope.

And his Nirvana clone also obtained the Nascent Soul, the Earth Blood Embryo and the Nirvana Black Pool from Taoist Yuan Jin, which was a huge gain!

The first time he killed a late Nascent Soul, the huge energy contained in it made the cultivation level of the Silence Clone soar by a large margin, even more than the total of all the Nascent Souls absorbed before!
Next, he devoured the Blood Fetus of the Earth, which was also the second Nascent Soul, causing his cultivation to skyrocket again!
He directly reached the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage!

Lin Shan was a little bit unbelievable. He was just in the early stage of Nascent Soul. From the early stage to the middle stage, it would take a long time of practicing water grinding skills to fill the pool.

For many people, this process may be a hurdle that they will never be able to overcome in their lifetime.

But the clone of Nirvana had devoured so many Nascent Souls, especially a late-stage cultivator among them, and had unknowingly completed the entire process of the early Nascent Soul stage and reached the bottleneck leading to the middle Nascent Soul stage!

"This is too fast!"

Lin Shan felt a chill in his heart. Anyone who saw this despairing speed would be unable to help but sigh in their heart.

Nothing comes faster than plunder!
Others have been practicing hard for hundreds of years, but you only need to kill people to seize their skills to become stronger and stronger. Who wouldn’t be jealous?
If everyone in the entire cultivation world can be like this, then who would still practice well? Wouldn't it be fighting every day?

"A strange Dharma image. Too powerful!"

He knew that the strength of the Nirvana clone did not lie in itself, nor in the Yin-Yang Nirvana Sutra, but in its strange appearance!
This kind of thing is so incredible that it is the most incomprehensible thing he has ever seen, except for the enhanced panel.

If you don't control it, you may suffer the consequences in the future!
Especially after obtaining the Black Pool of Nirvana, it might even help the Nirvana clone to overcome the bottleneck from the early to middle stage of Nascent Soul and surpass the original body's cultivation in one fell swoop!
"Huh~ It's just right that I'll follow the advice of the Xuli Insect King. I'll go back and practice in seclusion for a few decades to avoid the limelight. By the way, I'll let the Jiemie clone settle down for a while, and find a way to let the main body catch up with the clone. I can't let it get out of control."

Lin Shan forced himself to suppress his inner uneasiness. He knew that power must be restrained and one must not become addicted to plundering, otherwise people would become slaves to power and would not be able to control themselves!
After making up his mind, he began to organize his gains.

The biggest gain definitely came from Taoist Yuan Jin. Apart from the Zhenyuan Seal and Zhenyuan Spear, the most valuable thing was the nest of toads.

According to Kong Kai's introduction, this spiritual beast should be called Mo Ye Ling Chan, and it comes from an underground world on the west coast.

That underground world is said to be a paradise for underground creatures, with thousands of amphibious species living in it, making it a rare treasure trove of monsters.

He had seen it in Kong's "Miscellaneous Stories of Strange Stories on the Continent", worthy of being a scholar from a Confucian family.

As for how Taoist Yuan Jin captured and tamed the old toad, which was able to speak human language, the answer given was this.

"Gua~ My people have lived underground for countless years, but we still feel like we are sitting in a well and looking at the sky from afar. We have long yearned for the outside world, so we have been tirelessly seeking a way to move upward."

"Quack! After I become a fifth-level demon king, I will bid farewell to the elders of my clan and ascend with many elites, looking forward to opening up a new territory!"

"Quack~ Who knew that ascension was a trap? The upper realm preyed on the genius of our race."

At this point, tears rolled down the old toad's eyes. He leaned against the courtyard wall and cried with his cheeks puffed out, recalling that painful night.

He was caught just after ascending, and no matter how hard he tried to resist, it was useless.

Surrounded by corpses of its tribesmen, it leaned against the wall alone, watching Taoist Yuan Jin slaughter them wantonly in front of it. In the end, he threatened it with seven little frogs with the most outstanding talents and bloodlines and forced it to sign the spirit beast contract.

"Sitting beside the beheading platform in silence, I am alone and worried among the corpses."

When Kong Kai in Xing Mansion heard this, he couldn't help but compose a poem!

Green radish next to her rolled her eyes. Ruyu and the little fox girl were holding seven little toads, watching the old toad being sentimental. It was hard for them to empathize with him.

Especially when I heard the old toad howling there, saying that ascension has been a trap since ancient times, and its underground tribe is still looking forward to the "Frog Emperor" returning home, it just felt very absurd.

Kong Kai carefully explained to the women that in the eyes of many underground races, due to their limited vision and limitations, it is understandable that they mistake the land for the upper realm.

Just like the cultivators in this world of cultivation, their ultimate goal is to ascend to the fairyland and become immortals!

Of course, the title of Frog Emperor is indeed an exaggeration. Don't think that no one will care if you call yourself the Emperor in some corner. This title only applies to the orthodox heaven in the fairy world.

There is a big cause and effect in the universe, and shouting without thinking will definitely cause problems!

Lin Shan shook his head. He could only blame them for being too naive. They dared to take things lightly in such an unfamiliar environment. Did they really think that the so-called upper realm was heaven?

It's just like moving from one cage to another!
Ok?
He was suddenly startled and thought of the fairyland that everyone in the cultivation world yearned for.

Judging from the people and things in the fairy world that I had come into contact with in the past, it seemed that there was more chaos and unrest there. If I went there rashly, I might end up like this old toad.

But the distance is still quite far, so there is no need to worry too much.

He directly renewed the spirit beast contract with the old toad and suddenly brought this guy under his command!
"Don't worry, I won't touch your juniors. You can keep them by my side and train them. If I don't need you anymore in the future, I will terminate the contract with you and set you free."

The old toad had no choice but to obey Lin Shan.

As to why he lived in the Dharma image of Taoist Yuan Jin, he found a secret book from his storage magic weapon.

"Dharma Cave Heaven".

This is a genuine fifth-level secret technique that explains how to construct the Dharma image and develop it into a complete theory of the cave heaven. It can be said to be a real rare book!

Lin Shan used the reinforced panel to identify that there were no hidden dangers. He opened it and read it carefully. After careful consideration, he was overjoyed!
Because according to the concept of this secret technique, it is applicable to any non-living thing with storage characteristics.

One's own Lei Chi Dharma Image has the innate function of storing things!

Just like the Golden Palace Thunder Pool beyond the nine clouds, it stores some liquid thunder power, so if one wants to develop the 'Dharma Cave Heaven'.

First of all, the first step of the idea is completely tenable!
The next step is to construct the void and then pile up the foundation stones. This may stump most Nascent Soul cultivators.

Because it involves the level of void, this function can usually be developed after the Yuanshen stage, and the Yuanying stage is still working on the power of heaven and earth.

The reason why Taoist Yuan Jin was able to open it up was simply because he relied on the gifts left by ancient powerful people when he received the inheritance. This kind of opportunity is hard to come by.

The Black Pool of Annihilation, the Blood Embryo of the Earth, the Ink Wild Spirit Toad, etc. that were obtained later were all moved into it.

But for Lin Shan, this is not a problem.

He is unable to create the void.

But don’t forget, there is also a Void Butterfly in the Spirit Beast Ring!

For Xiaodie, this is just a piece of cake. What's so difficult about it?
As for how to stabilize it later, it would require a large amount of 'Void Divine Stones', which he was not unfamiliar with, because his previous summoning flag had this kind of thing embedded in it. And including but not limited to storage magic weapons, there are more or less Void Stones in them, but the sizes are different, and the corresponding sizes of the spaces inside are also different.

Generally, these kinds of things are strategic materials. In top sects, teleportation arrays are established at critical moments to protect stronghold resources, deploy troops, support the front lines, stabilize the rear, etc.

In times of peace, the teleportation array would be dismantled and the Void Divine Stone would be protected for future use.

Lin Shan does have a batch of them in his hands, which he obtained from the Feathered People, a group of aliens.

The Feathered People were also a large tribe, with fairly rich stores of strategic materials. He had seized some Void Stones from them, and it was calculated that they were almost enough to build a small cave for his own Dharma image.

It is filled with thunder power and stored for future use.

On ordinary days, the Dharma Cave is hidden in the void.

When fighting with others during war, you can summon the Dharma image to appear, and the thunder in the thunder pool will also appear. You can use supernatural powers instantly without relying on the power of heaven and earth!
Suitable for certain extreme situations, used to make a comeback.

The rest of the legacy is just a bunch of miscellaneous things, including magic weapons, classics, materials, medicines, etc.

The wealth of the other two, Lord Lang and the pockmarked old man, was approximately one-fifth of that of Taoist Yuan Jin.

There are a total of five sets of Yuanying stage exercises.

"The True Scripture of Hun Tu", "The Totem of Wolf Spirit", "The Secret Book of Massage", "The True Explanation of Kan Yuan", and "The Secret of Returning to Zang".

There are four parts that involve attributes, and only the "Wolf Spirit Totem" is a method of taming beasts. He temporarily gave it to the Silence clone, and he can study it when he has time to learn from it.

The other attributes are incompatible, so even if you learn them, they will not be very powerful and will be meaningless.

The only thing left was a set of ancient treasures from the old man with the pockmarked face, which barely caught his eye.

【Light Shuttle】

Quality: Magical weapon

Introduction: A flying magic weapon with thirty-six levels of forbidden magic. It is made of fifth-rank spiritual material, meteorite iron from outer space. It has four major functions: illusion paralysis, spectral silhouette, transformation between reality and illusion, and shuttle through formations.

Enhancement required: 64 points

"A flying magic weapon?"

Lin Shan was playing with the small shuttle in his hand. He originally thought it was an offensive magic weapon, but he didn't expect it could also be used to travel.

In comparison, although the insect boat can have a certain degree of defense capability based on the strength of the insect swarm, its speed is far inferior to that of the streamer shuttle.

Now that the pockmarked old man has passed away, this thing has become ownerless. After he spent time refining it, it simply replaced the insect boat under his feet and became his new means of transportation.

A streak of light streaked across the sky, more than three times faster than before!
The journey from the west coast to Lu State was also shortened by nearly ten days.

Central Region, Jingyang Academy.

Ancestor Ying Rong was in the yard. When he saw Lin Shan and Shui Bingyue coming back together, he was stunned at first, but then he was very relieved!

Originally she was very worried, but due to Sailor Moon's own inherited characteristics, the fateful duel could not be delayed, so she had to let her go.

I need to stay in the academy and cannot be free, so I cannot accompany you.

Now that the two of them have returned safely, she can finally put down her worries.

"Quick, tell me, what did you gain from this trip?"

Shui Bingyue stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and began to narrate her experiences, especially the series of twists and turns. Elder Ying Rong's emotions also fluctuated as he listened.

Fortunately, in the end, she learned that Cai Yubing was killed and the Bingpo inheritance was returned to her. After their two Dharma bodies merged and they completely accepted each other's cultivation, she nodded and said "OK" three times.

"If it were someone more mature, Taoist Yuan Jin would have noticed it long ago. You are still too young. You should learn a lesson this time and not trust others too much."

Shui Bingyue listened to the teachings of Ancestor Ying Rong and naturally nodded in agreement. She reflected deeply without any argument.

As for Kong Kai and Luoluo, they had already said goodbye and returned to their own forces.

Lin Shan sent Shui Bingyue back, and there was no need for him to stay long. He probably chatted with Ancestor Ying Rong and then set off for neighboring Luxi.

Before leaving, Sailor Moon asked to meet Xiaodie.

He originally thought that now that she had reached the Nascent Soul stage, the other party would no longer be afraid that Void Butterfly would be unsafe following her, but he didn't expect that Sailor Moon would only be affectionate with Xiaodie for a while and then continue to entrust him to take care of her.

"Brother Lin, I'm going to a place that might be dangerous. Xiaodie is here with you. If anything happens, you can still use your intuition to save me."

"Danger? Where?"

Sailor Moon shook her head and didn't explain it to him in detail.

Just tell him that it is about the inheritance of Bingpo. Bingling told her about the trial place. It is in a restricted area. Only the inheritor can enter. It is useless to bring others.

She wanted to become a great master as soon as possible during the Wanhui Year, so she had to race against time and not waste even a moment.

Xiaodie and Linshan are her external support, so if something happens, they will be there to take care of her.

And during the time when he is exploring the inheritance, if Lin Shan encounters a threat like the Ghost Patrol again, Xiaodie will be able to protect him.

Seeing how hard she was fighting, Lin Shan felt a sense of urgency in his heart even though she was already in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul and yet she was still rushing to the restricted area without stopping.

Then he thought of her Dharmakāya, and that the white moon might also have the attribute of carrying space, so he passed the technique of "Dharmakāya Cave Heaven" to her.

Shui Bingyue gladly accepted it and left without looking back.

"Brother Lin, see you next time. I hope your cultivation can catch up with mine. Take care!"

Looking at the free and easy figure in the sky, a smile appeared on the face of Patriarch Yingrong.

She seemed to see the shadow of herself when she was young in an instant, so free and unrestrained, moving forward courageously, doing whatever she thought of without any constraints!

It’s not possible now. I’m old and I have things to worry about. He sighed.

"Master Lin, you should go back as well. Take advantage of this stage to quickly consolidate your sphere of influence. Things are about to change soon."

Lin Shan nodded without saying anything, bowed, then turned into a stream of light and went westward.
