Immortal Road.

The man was unable to defend himself and the axe in his hand fell to the ground, leaving a pile of scattered firewood. He was caught without any power to resist!

"Let me go. Do you know who I am? Be careful or you'll get into big trouble~"

"Who are you?"

Lin Shan grabbed the man and held him motionless no matter how he struggled.

"I am Wu Tianlin, the great elder of the Wu Clan Holy Land. I have been cultivating here for three thousand years and have been a peaceful tomb keeper! If you capture me, you will destroy the arrangement of the ancient witch. When the great catastrophe of the era comes, you and your descendants will be cursed by your bloodline!"

"Grand Elder of the Holy Land?"

The witch clan’s holy land had been destroyed long ago, so who was this great elder?
"I think you are still living in a dream. You can't even tell a lie. You are indeed a mentally handicapped bug."

"Who are you calling a bug?"

The man struggled so hard that he accidentally knocked the hat off his head.

A shiny forehead was revealed!
"Huh???"

Lin Shan was curious now. He hadn't noticed it before. Was there something different about the hat?
He used his other hand to suck the hat into his hand.

【Fairy weaving rattan】

Quality: Sixth-level spiritual material

Introduction: The soul-covering hat made by immortals with sixth-level plant spirit vines can effectively conceal one's own cultivation level at the Yuanshen stage and below, and block the prying of spiritual consciousness.

Enhancement required: 256 points

Fairy?

Lin Shan was stunned immediately!
I remembered the mortal immortal I met in the forbidden area on the cliff. Speaking of immortals, this big guy is probably the only one in this world.

He recalled carefully that the bamboo hat that the immortal wore at that time seemed to be 80% similar to the one in his hand now!

Could this be the hat on the immortal’s head?
"Where did you get this hat? When did you get it?"

"No, hat, hat, give me back my hat"

After revealing his bald head, this man suddenly felt insecure. He wanted to take the hat back to cover himself, and struggled to get it back. But how could Lin Shan let him do as he wished?
Just hit it with a stick!

"Ouch, what are you doing???"

Unable to bear Lin Shan's constant beating, the man finally told the truth.

"I picked this up in the Ancient Witch's Tomb more than three thousand years ago!"

"Picked it up?"

"Yes, I picked it up! It was because of this thing that I was able to escape the purge of the first chieftain!"

"The great elder of the holy land."

This person suddenly burst into tears, with snot and tears, and his crying was extremely contagious and penetrating.

"The elder returned to Guwu Village to retire, but was caught up by the first generation of the Chieftain. Knowing she was no match for him, she simply bought me some time to keep me alive. She faced the situation alone and became a dead soul at the hands of the Chieftain."

"and you."

"I will survive in place of the Great Elder, inherit her legacy, and guard the Tomb of the Ancient Witch until the end of time!"

"Pfft~~~"

The man suddenly became limp and shrunken like a deflated balloon, until he turned into a worm in his hand, twisting his body like a cricket pupa.

Lin Shan looked at this guy carefully, and found that he was exactly the same as the aura he saw in Powangxingmu. He was extremely ugly, but the key point was that he could actually talk to people!
And judging from his fluency, this guy is obviously quite intelligent, has his own opinions, and knows how to bluff. If it were someone else, they might have been fooled.

But unfortunately, the immortal's bamboo hat can conceal the spiritual power, making it impossible to see through the cultivation level, but the luck cannot be concealed.

Lin Shan was holding the insect in his hand at the moment, but he was thinking about something else.

Is there any purpose for leaving this hat of the banished immortal in the ancient witch's tomb? If I take it away, will it destroy the boss's arrangement?
The higher his realm and the better his cultivation, the more cautious Lin Shan becomes about such issues!

He discovered that the bigger the boss, the more he liked to make arrangements everywhere, making moves at leisure and making clever moves with the snap of a finger. If he disrupted the arrangements, how would he face the future?

Back then in the forbidden area on the cliff, the banished immortal from the mortal world had promised him that he would protect him when he was overcoming the tribulation of his soul!

The six-nine thunder tribulation is an advanced version of the three-nine thunder tribulation.

It is also called the calamity of the soul.

Because it involves the primordial spirit, there will be void dry thunder descending, which can be regarded as the ultimate weapon to deal with the primordial spirit!
Many cultivators who have advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and gone through numerous hardships have a 50% chance of failing here.

Not to mention that Lin Shan practiced the soul cultivation method "White Bone Visualization Diagram", and the strengthening panel clearly stated that at that time the Skeleton Clan's White Bone Lord would take advantage of the situation to rob!

Coupled with the combination of his Nascent Soul and Soul Infant, there might be a double thunder tribulation at that time, exactly the same as the tribulation in the Nascent Soul stage!
With this level of intensity, anyone would be terrified, so it is necessary to have the support of a big boss.

He is still far from that point now. Although he cannot call upon the banished immortal from the mortal world, he has to start preparing.

I thought about it.

Although this bamboo hat is a good thing, it was left here by an immortal, so it probably has some deep meaning. It is better to believe it than not.

Anyway, he had the Zodiac Spirit Cloud to cover himself, so this thing would just be the icing on the cake. So he simply walked out of the Guwu Village and handed it directly to the chief priest of the Wu clan, Wu Qiongyan.

The two people at the entrance of the village waited for a while, and when they saw Lin Shan coming out, they threw his hat at him and asked hesitantly:
"Senior, have you found a substitute Gu?"

"found it."

Lin Shan nodded and spread out his palms. An ugly insect was glaring and cursing at the two people!
"You youngsters, you brought outsiders to arrest me. You are such ungrateful cowards who have forgotten your roots!!!"

The chief priest of the Wu tribe and the chief of the Wu bone tribe lowered their heads in shame.

If it wasn't for being really powerless, who would betray their ancestors? For the bright future of the people in Zhongli, they can only make a temporary choice.

"Don't worry, Sheng Gu. This senior probably needs your help. I guess he will let him go after you help him. It won't be long before we can be reunited."

"Yeah!"

The two tried to persuade him kindly, but the substitute Gu kept cursing and was never idle in Lin Shan's hands.

Later, I found it too annoying, so I just threw it into an insect nest to shut it up temporarily.

Something happened here.

Lin Shan briefly said goodbye to the two of them, and especially asked the Wu clan's high priest to assist the Mingzhu Sect in governing Jiuli and not to have any evil thoughts, and to quickly wipe out the remnants of the barbarians and search for totem poles for him.

Another thing that puzzled him was.

Originally, when he was entering and leaving Jiuli, he had clearly heard the whereabouts of his subordinate Ke Jiezi, but because the news was delayed for more than ten years, after he broke into Cangluan King City, there was still no trace of this person.

He couldn't help but wonder whether Ke Jizi had fled with the remnants of the barbarians, or if he had disappeared to an unknown place in the past ten years since he left Jiuli?

Pass the information down and let the witch tribe search for it on you.

Then it jumped up and turned into a flying rainbow and disappeared into the sky.

After he leaves.

The Chief Priest of the Witch Tribe and the Chief of the Witch Bone Tribe dared to raise their heads and relax the stiff muscles on their faces. As leaders of the tribes for a long time, when had they ever smiled so apologetically to others for so long?
"What do you think of this person?"

"Unfathomable!"

The two of them looked at the horizon, the atmosphere was extremely solemn. "Fortunately, he left this hat behind. When the witch clan's holy land was destroyed, the great elder specially passed down the instructions. When our clan's holy seed is born in the future, we need this item to avoid the secrets of heaven, awaken the ancient witch, and make key allies."

"Perhaps this is God's will. We are old now. This time we have accomplished our mission of annihilating the barbarians. It is time for us to lie low and survive in a low profile."

"Perhaps one day will come, in the not too distant future."

Lin Shan went all the way south.

The trip to Jiuli was full of twists and turns. Initially, I thought there would be no obstacles and it would take a long time to search like looking for a needle in a haystack. Later, I found that it involved the Black Lotus Sect, the Barbarians, the Witch Tribe, the Human Race and other complicated forces. Only then did I realize that the water here was muddy.

Fortunately, the final confrontation with three powerful masters allowed him to learn some experience.

Especially in battles of the same level, it is very important to take the initiative!

The second point is that the more means you have, the more invincible you will be.

Youmei Ji only has one set of magical powers of illusion and one set of secret magic of incense and magic spells, but she is trapped in the soul prison and has no way to use her skills!
Controlled to death.

Overall, the witch tribe's high priest and the barbarian chieftain are not very strong, especially since they inherited the legacy of their tribe and did not rely on their own efforts. There is a lot of water in their strength and they should be at a very ordinary level among those with great supernatural powers.

The most regrettable thing was that the all-powerful wizard's treasure, the Dingman Plate, was damaged, causing him to lose the opportunity to repair this treasure!

Fortunately, there is gain in loss. A large amount of ancient rhyme was an unexpected surprise. The fragments of the Yellow Turban Warrior, a treasure from the fairyland, were collected. The three sacred Gu of the witch clan were all obtained, and the goal of this trip was completed.

In the spirit beast ring, the six Xu Ling brothers, because they had eaten and drunk enough on the night of Jingnan, had reached a bottleneck by sucking flesh and blood, thus bringing about an opportunity for evolution.

They found a deserted place on the road, and under Lin Shan's care, they all evolved and broke through to the fifth-level Nascent Soul stage one by one.

Ten days later.

He crossed from the southwest inland to the southeast coast.

The territory of the Song Dynasty is already in sight.

I pulled out my interstellar pager and dialed several times before I got through, and a muffled voice came from the other end.

"Fellow Daoist Lin? Did you get the Substitute Gu?"

"Well, I'm almost at the Song Kingdom's cultivation world. How are you doing over there?"

Lin Shan communicated in advance so that he could be mentally prepared.

In order to rescue the Red Lotus Patriarch this time, they would have to confront the Penglai Holy Land, and even completely break off relations with it, which made his heart pound.

"Not good. Penglai has recently moved into Luosong Mountain Range on a large scale. It looks like a prelude to a major move. The major demon kings have not shown any signs of moving and seem to be waiting and watching."

"The Red Maple Forest has been completely taken over by the Penglai Holy Land. There are their people everywhere. I don't know what plans they are brewing. Be careful if you want to come here!"

"Tell me when you reach the entrance to the secret realm. I will show you a path in. Avoid all sentries along the way so as not to be discovered."

Zhang Yunxi spoke very softly, but one could imagine how serious the situation over there was.

Lin Shan didn't expect that after only practicing for a month or so, Penglai would actually take action against the Red Lotus Ancestor!
It seems that the time when he released his ancestor's clone to fight with the Holy Lord of Penglai in the Fallen Demon Valley had attracted the other party's attention.

After ten thousand years, I don’t know what method I will use to punish the ancestor, so I plan to start doing it.

"Can't you use the void battleship to pick me up?"

"No, the Penglai Saint is watching from the void nearby. If I am exposed, all my efforts will be wasted. You can only come in by yourself."

Okay.

I came here from afar and I have to find a way to get through it myself. You as an insider are of no use!
He couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency for no reason.

Hang up the pager and continue on your way.

Entering the country from the northwest of the Song Dynasty, according to the division of power, this is the territory of Qianyun Pavilion. Speaking of the grievances in the past, he and Qianyun Pavilion still have quite a grudge.

Especially the Qingyang Peak lineage, because his entire army was wiped out!
However, given the current altitude, since they had never suffered any loss, they were too lazy to bother with them and simply ignored them and flew directly over their heads.

Later, they arrived at the Qinling Mountains west of the Luosong Mountains, which is the territory of the Zixiao Sect.

When I revisited the old place, I couldn’t help but think of my old friends.

Lin Shan thought that he could use this little time to go and see how his good brother Lin Fan was doing. Otherwise, after the rescue of Red Lotus Patriarch began, he probably wouldn't have the time to reminisce about the past.

This was his first time coming to Zixiao Sect, so in order not to alert the enemy, he simply waited outside.

Qinling Mountains, with 72 peaks like a blue dragon lying on its ridge.

It is surrounded by clouds and mist all year round, with only one peak breaking through the clouds and reaching the sky, which is called Zixiao Peak.

There are dark clouds and thunders at the top of the peak all year round. The disciples below can only see lightning like dragons and snakes moving around, and there are faint black shadows swaying in the depths of the thunderstorm. There are all kinds of speculations.

Then a messenger partridge fluttered over.

The door of a cave on the cliff at the top of the mountain opened wide, and a mechanical puppet flew onto an arm and spit out a letter.

"Hahahaha, I was just wondering why I suddenly woke up from seclusion today on a whim. It turned out to be my clan brother who came to visit. It really is a happy event!"

"Oh oh oh, let me have a look"

The sound of a rooster crowing could be faintly heard in the cave, followed by the laughter of a man and a chicken.

Not long after, a rainbow light shot out from the cave, without any cover, and went straight out of the mountain gate.

In the main hall on Zixiao Peak, many Nascent Soul and Golden Core stage cultivators were holding a meeting. Someone looked down and saw this action, and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Where is Elder Lin Fan planning to go?"

"I don't know. It looks like he's out of quarantine?"

"Humph, that brat just disappeared for more than 20 years during the second round of spiritual tide. He hasn't been back for long, but he's already gone out and acted wild again. He really doesn't take us old guys seriously at all!"

"Haha, why are you so angry, Great Elder? Elder Lin Fan received a magic from the founder of the Shenxiao Sect in the upper realm a while ago. He has a bright future. In addition, his current strength is unpredictable. No one in this world can control him. Just let him go~"

"Who said no one can cure him? There are so many holy places, and there are also powerful Yuanshen stage masters, and even Qinglian Fairy and Jinglian Layman, the reincarnation of immortals! I'm afraid he will cause a big mess, which will not make me worry at all."

"Haha, this world is extremely vast, and the chance of encountering those powerful beings is extremely small. You are worrying too much."

A corner outside the mountain gate.

The two brothers finally met again.

"Brother of the clan!"

"Brother of the clan!"

"Oh oh oh~"

The chicken flapped its wings and flew up, pecking at his hair with its iron beak. Lin Shan smiled and said, "Stop it."

They came to an area with a wide view.

They sat on the ground, facing the mountains, reminiscing about the past and talking about their respective experiences during this period.

If I think about it carefully, it has been nearly two decades since we last saw the forbidden area on the cliff.

The key is the strength of these two guys, which makes Lin Shan dumbfounded at this moment!
