Immortal Road.

After closing his eyes for a long time, Lin Shan thought for a while and then replied.

"I'll think about it again."

He did not reject Zhang Yunxi immediately, but under the current circumstances, what he needed first was to become a person with great supernatural powers, or even a cultivator in the Yuanshen stage.

At least you have to have the ability to break the void!

The fact that the technological universe can invade the immortal world shows that its high-end combat power is comparable to that of the immortal world. If I, a mere Nascent Soul stage person, go there, I might as well be killed by a single shot. Going back so early would be tantamount to seeking my own death.

And as far as he knew, even a cultivator at the Yuanshen stage did not have the ability to cross the void and could only wander around this world.

If one wants to travel through the stars and roam in the physical body, then one must probably reach the level of the star gods in the immortal world. He is still far from that.

What Zhang Yunxi said about time waiting for no one, in his opinion, it was impossible to keep up!

This round of spiritual tide has ended, and the next round will be the last one. The evil demons from outer space are about to make their return, and he will not be able to make it in such a short time.

It is too risky to embark on a road with no clear future just to catch a ride.

"It's okay. I won't force you to do this. I'm just telling you in advance."

There were many thoughts hidden in Zhang Yunxi's eyes, and it seemed that she had to go back.

"If I need your help then"

"Just ask me. I will do my best to help you!"

Lin Shan gave her a reassurance directly. Although he had not made up his mind to go back, he was willing to help. Not to mention that they were both time travelers and their relationship was completely different now. The most rare thing when going out was to encounter local accents in the desert.

"If I can really go back, I will also help you find out about your family."

"Thank you very much."

The void battleship leaped out of the world, came to the void outside the sky and sailed along the main world.

The two sat side by side on the bridge, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window and chatting for a long time. Since they were from the same hometown, they had endless topics to talk about.

From school to work, into society, all kinds of home cooking, delicious food, traveling, in every aspect they are just like an ordinary couple.

Talking about the first time they met in Yinchuan Market, Zhang Yunxi tilted her head and expressed her curiosity as to why they used "odd changes, even remains unchanged" as the connection code.

"Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to answer you?"

Lin Shan straightened his back with a serious look on his face.

"Anyone who has been to school should know this. Is there anyone who hasn't taken high school math these days?"

"Who are you implying?"

"By the way, how many points did you get in the college entrance examination?"

"I won't tell you!"

"Your Thai massage technique is pretty good. Are you sure you learned it from Mr. Zhang?"

"Can you talk to girls?"

When he was about to arrive at the State of Chu, he was driven off the void battleship by Zhang Yunxi.

Before leaving, he was spat at:
"No wonder you're still single after traveling through time for more than two hundred years, without a Taoist partner. You're so tongue-tied, you deserve it!"

Lin Shan touched his nose, these words were a bit hurtful. Why did they get so serious about chatting?

The two agreed to meet again in the next spiritual tide.

At this moment, they have arrived in the central part of Chu State, and the great demonic sect Xushen Mountain is not far away.

The Void Battleship travels very fast, and the journey that originally took at least a day was shortened to half an hour.

Lin Shan took out the Star Mansion and shook it slightly, and everyone on Luwu Peak was shaken out dizzy.

Xu Jizi shook his head, and after he regained his vision, he found that he had left the Demon Valley and regained his freedom.

"master!"

"master!"

"Are we... back?"

Ji Wangzi, Ji Yuanzi, Ji Kangzi and others just came to their senses and gathered around Xu Jizi.

After the battle in the Fallen Demon Valley, they regained their awe of their master, and everyone on Luwu Peak completely revolved around him.

Xu Jizi subconsciously wanted to ask Lin Shan what to do, but suddenly he touched him!
Xingfu is no longer on him.

Lin Shan had already gone away, leaving behind a few words that echoed in his ears.

"Don't rush back to Xushen Mountain. Hide outside for half a year first. Wait until the battle in the Fallen Demon Valley is over and everything between the holy lands is settled. When the lucky surviving cannon fodders have returned to Chu State one after another, you can blend in with them and return to Luwu Peak in a low profile."

Xu Jizi understood the mystery and quickly replied yes.

"Almost all of Xushen Mountain's troops were wiped out in this expedition. When you return, find a way to recruit them. I will contact you when I need them in the future."

He was delighted after hearing this. If most of the top leaders of Xushen Mountain were dead, it would not be a bad idea for him to go back and seize power. It would be even better to have Lin Shan's support behind him!

"Master, Master? What are you thinking about?"

"nothing!"

Facing the eager gazes of everyone on Luwu Peak, he calmed himself down and turned away with his three disciples and followers.

Lin Shan went south to Jiuyao Peak and met with Master Huang, Yan Yuanchun, Luanchun and others. He told them that after half a year, when the spiritual tide of the Fallen Demon Valley came to an end and the holy land withdrew from the surrounding sphere of influence, they could try to expand their territory.

By filling the power vacuum of the Chu State, perhaps it could become a top power.

By the way, he also kept behind the magic resources he obtained in the Fallen Demon Valley, including the Demonic Source Energy, Green Firefly Magic Diamond, etc.

Then he hurriedly continued south and returned to the State of Lu.

In Jiangning City, he happened to meet True Lord Xingyun, who now dominates northern and northeastern Shandong and has established a force called the Xingchen Society!
The four major families in the Central Region had not taken care of it because they had closed their doors during the spiritual tide and now it has become a problem that is too big to be controlled.

"You are the Messenger!"

When they met again, Lin Shan still pretended to be the envoy of Taixuan Holy Land and asked him about his current situation as usual.

True Lord Xingyun had no doubts and reported everything in detail.

When I heard that he had established diplomatic relations with the Epiphyllum Society founded by Luoluo and secretly infiltrated nearly one-third of the Central Region, I was still a little surprised!

This kid is quite something, he seems to be a talented person!
At the beginning, he let this person continue to develop in the Central Region according to the model of the envoy of Taixuan Holy Land. He didn't have much hope at first, but he turned out to be serious and worked hard.

"Well, not bad." He gave a few symbolic compliments, which made True Lord Xingyun so happy that he began to ask for benefits from the holy land again.

"Ahem, well, I asked you to make me a legacy of astrology magic, how is it going now?"

"It has been completed, please have a look, messenger!"

This guy is really awesome. He originally said it would take five years of hard work, but he accomplished it in less than five years.

Lin Shan took a jade slip and the information appeared before his eyes.

【Nine Abyss Star Vortex】

Quality: Magical Spells

Introduction: To use the magical power of pattern-bearing astrology, one needs to condense nine star vortices in advance, and then establish a connection with the nine stars in the sky to borrow star power to perform.

① Swallowing Starlight: Passively absorb the power of stars and store it in the star vortex. Once it is full and overflowing, the excess will be used to strengthen the host's body.

② Star vortex protection: When attacked, it passively absorbs damage, and the nine-layer star vortex unloads the force layer by layer and transmits it to each other.

③Nine Stars in a Row: Activate the nine star vortices to materialize, set up the Nine Abyss Killing Formation, refract the starlight of the nine heavens, and penetrate all enemies.

Enhancement required: 128 points

Lin Shan had seen the power of this type of astrology before. True Lord Xingyun used this trick to kill True Lord Chihuan of the same level. Now it seems that he did not do anything tricky. It is undoubtedly the original version with a powerful effect. It is a rare treasure!
"Not bad, not bad, thank you for your trouble."

"What about my reward?"

In view of the fact that this person was very reliable, Lin Shan was generous in rewarding him. Not only did he pay off the balance of the exchange for the astrological power, he also gave him some benefits in the name of Taixuan Holy Land.

Having tasted the sweetness, this person immediately asked him if there was any other task for him!
"."

It was the first time that Lin Shan saw such proactive and enthusiastic cows and horses, and he actually didn’t know how to arrange them!
Considering that the other party mistakenly believed that he was an envoy from the holy land, he pretended to let him continue to collect all the information about the cultivation world of Lu from the perspective of the holy land's layout, and continue to infiltrate the Central Region.

After meeting with True Lord Xingyun, he went to Ludong to meet Luluo.

Without revealing his true identity, he continued to assign her tasks and give her rewards in the name of the envoy of Taixuan Holy Land. Luoluo did not suspect anything and accepted all the rewards.

After the fall of Baihua Valley, this woman came to Lu State and established the Epiphyllum Society. Now she controls the two regions of Ludong and Ludongnan, and takes orders from the envoy of Taixuan Holy Land.

After Lin Shan collected the information, he quickly picked and sorted it out and summarized it, then took out the Taixuan messenger token. He had not reported to that side for a long time, and no one had contacted him specifically, so he didn't know what the situation was now.

He opened the mechanism, reported the intelligence message of Lu State to the Holy Land, and checked whether the contribution points in his token named Qin Shen had increased.

Sure enough, as time goes by, it has been rising!
At the beginning, I consumed three bottles of Nine-Aperture Divine Pills, and had 100,000 contribution points left. Now, I haven’t done anything, but the contribution points have risen to 800,000 without me noticing!

It seems that Taixuan Holy Land has not yet discovered that its disciple Qin Shen is dead. It is possible that they are busy with the spiritual tide of the continent and cannot care about these details.

Lin Shan found that he could fleece the sheep again. It was not bad to be a parasite. It could be considered a small benefit!

He found the teleportation camp of Taixuan Holy Land according to the map and exchanged the newly acquired 800,000 contribution points for a bottle of Jiuqiao Tongshen Pill.

Now that we have lost our soul source, we can only seek resources for cultivation from other places. It is better to be prepared!
Then we came to the Central Region.

I went to Jingyang Academy to ask if Shui Bingyue had returned, but learned from Patriarch Yingrong that there was still no news, so I had to go down the mountain in disappointment.

The continent was in turmoil with wars going on every day, but the state of Lu was very peaceful. All major forces were keeping a low profile and lurking, as if they were not affected by the outside world.

Until he finished all the journeys and arrived at the final stop.

Tianfu Mountain in western Shandong, a remote and secluded place for ancient religious activities.

Returning to my old nest, my soul seemed to have docked in the harbor. I felt tired and couldn't help wanting to have a good rest.

"Leader, are you back?"

"The leader is back!"

"Quick, notify everyone to welcome the leader!"

"No need."

Lin Shan waved his hand and met with the remaining senior leaders of Xun Gu Sect. Not only Lu Xiuming was there, but also the little fox girl and the old toad who were already in the Nascent Soul stage had returned without anyone knowing when!

He released Ruyu from the Xing Mansion, and everyone gathered together happily.

Only then did they learn that the little fox girl returned to the human-faced fox clan in the Star-Swallowing Mountains, accepted inheritance in her ancestral land and broke through to the fifth level. The Qinghe Demon King was then summoned by the demon clan's Zuo Wu Venerable and went to the north to participate in the battle for the spiritual tide!
The battle over there was also extremely brutal. It was said that the Star-Devouring Demon Clan and several major holy places of the human race fought each other, and finally they used all their strength to come out on top.

Now that the situation over there has been settled and many of the monsters have been repatriated, she left the monster tribe and came back.

The Qinghe Demon King probably also lamented that the power was too great. He felt that it was not safe to force the little fox girl to stay in the tribe. It would be better to let her seek refuge with the human race. He also wrote a letter to Lin Shan.

After reading it, Lin Shan shook his head and smiled bitterly. Is this treating his Xun Gu Sect as a shelter?
Forget it, it would be a waste to use the free young man.

I just happened to learn from Lu Xiuming that there is war in western Shandong and northwestern Shandong. After years of brewing conflicts, the Feathered People have led troops to provoke attacks many times. It would be better to send them to the front line for training.

It just so happened that there was a shortage of Nascent Soul cultivators on his side.

"Mu Yan, Patriarch Lu Que, Geng Buzheng, and Yu Qinghan are guarding the northwest of Shandong at Lujiang Academy, while Master Zhan Kong, Wu Hanqiao, and Grandmaster Man Xi are guarding the western border of Shandong at Yunchuan Academy. Let the three of them go to Yunchuan Academy."

The little fox girl pouted and glared at Lu Xiuming fiercely. She had just returned not long ago and was sent to the front line to fight for her life. How could you treat guests like this?
Lin Shan nodded and approved, and roughly understood the situation.

At present, the Feathered People are becoming more and more powerful. They have gathered five tribes and seen the cowardly look of the Lu Kingdom's cultivation world who are staying indoors. Relying on the Disi Plateau behind them and having a way to retreat, they have begun to attack in semi-darkness.

It is not known whether they acted on their own initiative or were driven by the aliens to follow the example of the Taixuan Holy Land and come to Lu State to take the opportunity to expand their sphere of influence.

No matter what, the Xun Gu Sect cannot let them succeed. They gather the strength of the two regions and unite all the local sects and families to resist the outside world together.

"Over the years, the Langhuanyu Mansion in the south has also followed the footsteps of the Feathered People and attacked us from the south. The Lujiang League has been responsible for resisting them."

"Deputy Alliance Leader Fan Jingchen has not been idle in the past two years. He recruited two Yuanying-stage casual cultivators and many Jindan-stage immortals from the outside world, which has enabled the southern front to maintain a long-term stalemate and prevent the enemy from breaking through."

"Now we are facing enemies on two fronts, the situation is not optimistic. In addition, the world is in chaos, the grassroots are rising, and more and more independent cultivators are growing up. The Langhuan Jade Mansion is also actively recruiting troops and horses, which is gradually shaking the original pattern of the cultivation world."

Speaking of the southern front, Fan Jingchen is really worry-free. He can actually resist the Langhuan Yu Mansion, which controls the southern and southwestern regions of Shandong, on his own, without any mistakes for all these years. It is truly admirable.

Lin Shan nodded after hearing this. He had no grudge against this person for taking the opportunity to place two Nascent Soul stage cultivators into the seat of elders of the Lujiang League. The most urgent task was to first digest what he had gained from the Fallen Demon Valley. If he could hold on here, he would let his men do the job.

There is really not much time left for him, and each thing he needs to do is more important than the last.

After figuring out what was going on, he dismissed his subordinates and returned to the secret room to practice alone.

He took out the secret body-building technique of "Star Acupoint Locking Veins" and the fragments of the Dark Star containing star power, and began to condense star acupoints at key nodes in the body, build star veins, and weave a large network for the Zhoutian star body network.

"Great master, whether you can succeed or not depends on this desperate gamble!"
