If I had known I wouldn't have saved you!

Listen to the wind and snow morning and night, watch the flowers and plants during the spring and autumn, search for the great way in heaven and earth but cannot find it, only the years never stop.

There is no day or night in the practice, and I don’t know how many years I have. In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.

The valley, which was originally bustling with birds singing and insects chirping, was now extremely quiet. There was no sound at all in the whole mountain, showing the desolation. In the valley, a hidden cave entrance was covered by messy vines. Not only that, there were two major formations in the mountain, which completely covered the cave entrance, making it undetectable.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared, and all the vines were pushed aside, and a handsome man walked out.

He had an extraordinary temperament and was clearly not an ordinary person. When he saw this situation, his handsome eyebrows wrinkled slightly and he couldn't help feeling confused.

"I didn't expect to be in seclusion for three years. It seems that a lot of things have happened in these three years..."

The man was naturally Lin Shiyi.

After his retreat, it took him about a year to form his Nascent Soul. Just when he was about to come out, he found that he had many inexplicable veins on his body. These veins were connected to dozens of red lights, and a steady stream of immortal power was transmitted, gathering on his body.

Although Lin Shiyi was surprised, there was no reason for him to refuse the immortal power given for free. He immediately absorbed all of the immortal power and used it to improve his cultivation.

With the nourishment of these pure immortal powers, his cultivation level rose steadily. Within a year, he had rapidly reached the late Nascent Soul stage from the early stage. After that, these immortal powers continued to gather and almost burst him. He immediately used these excess immortal powers to practice the Falling Star Sword Technique.

After his cultivation reached the late Nascent Soul stage, he successfully cultivated the third level of the Falling Star Sword Art. Not only that, he was only one step away from the fourth level.

Lin Shiyi is confident that if he reaches the Spirit Transformation Realm, he will be able to unleash even greater power from the Falling Star Sword Technique.

Three years later, the supply of this immortal power was completely cut off, and he was surprised to find that the red lights connected to his body were getting dimmer and dimmer, and the light became much lighter, as if it was getting farther and farther away.

Judging from the constantly moving positions of the red light, he could feel that the red light must be coming from the monks. After finding them, Lin Shiyi must figure out what is going on.

With a wave of his hand, he dispersed the huge formation inside. Lin Shiyi looked at the other huge formation outside and couldn't help but frowning in thought.

The large formation outside was obviously set up by someone later. This formation is called Thousand Illusions Formation, which can create an illusion and confuse others.

Judging from the completeness of this formation, it was clearly set up by several great monks working together. These people set up the Thousand Illusion Formation for their own safety. Needless to say, it must be Ouyang Xuan and his group.

Lin Shiyi lightly tapped his feet, flew into the sky, and looked at the things around him.

After leaving the Thousand Illusions Formation, the retreat cave could no longer be seen. The entire environment merged with the surrounding barren valley, making it impossible to detect anything unusual. Not only that, even spiritual energy could not be sensed.

But Lin Shiyi is now more curious about why this place has become like this? You know, this is Yuqiong Fairy Mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist all day long, and the air is full of fairy air.

But now it is a scene of ruin. How can he not be suspicious?

With a flash of light, he quickly arrived at the Yuntian Sword Sect with the cultivation base of the late Nascent Soul stage. However, he saw that the houses in the sword sect had collapsed and it was in ruins. There was no trace of the past scene.

Lin Shiyi was anxious and searched the entire fairy mountain, but still couldn't find anyone.

What on earth happened in these three years that everything turned out like this?

Although Lin Shiyi is now a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, the disappearance of his loved ones has greatly distracted his mind. He forced himself to calm down, spread out his spiritual sense, and carefully sense the aura of the entire Yuqiong Fairy Mountain.

Although it had been a long time, after careful searching, he still found some traces of fighting between monks.

The traces of these battles varied in size, ranging from the Qi Refining Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage. However, those Nascent Soul cultivators seemed to have deliberately avoided Yuqiong Mountain, otherwise, with their magical powers, the entire fairy mountain would have ceased to exist.

It seems that no matter which side the cultivators are from, they are reluctant to destroy this fairy mountain. After the battle, this fairy mountain will be the spoils of the victor, although it later became like this.

Lin Shiyi withdrew his spiritual sense and gradually gained a vague understanding of the current situation.

It seems that during the time he was in seclusion, the Yuntian Sword Sect must have been attacked by unknown forces. After a fierce battle, in order to avoid these forces, everyone in the sect left the sect and hid in other places.

As for the red lines on his body, they should be some special secret method that allows him to determine their location.

After thinking this through, Lin Shiyi no longer hesitated and flew into the sky in the blink of an eye.

The red lines were clearly connected to him, but the other end was in the distant north. When Lin Shiyi thought about it, the red lines disappeared, and as long as he wanted to see them, they would appear before his eyes again.

Although it was strange, Lin Shiyi had no idea what was going on and could only give up.

Under the escape light of the late Nascent Soul stage, he could travel dozens of miles in the blink of an eye, which was faster than the escape light of Chen Yijun's ninth-level monster. Of course, this was also because Lin Shiyi mastered many god-level skills. If he were an ordinary late Nascent Soul stage cultivator, he would definitely be slower.

From the Southern Immortal Gate to the capital of the Great Jin Kingdom, the entire road was filled with fleeing refugees. Countless civilians were killed and wounded, and there were smoke and fire everywhere. However, those soldiers, who did not know their affiliations, were not killing each other. Instead, they set up their own camps, as if they were guarding against some more powerful existence.

Lin Shiyi stood in the clouds, overlooking the entire capital city. At this moment, the city had lost its prosperity and was now in ruins with corpses all over the ground.

The strong demonic energy rushed straight into the sky, which reminded him of the disciples of the immortal sect who went down to deal with the demonic energy on their way back.

Now that the evil spirit still exists, won’t those disciples be in great danger?

Thinking of this, he immediately flew towards the place where the evil energy was gathered.

A moment later, he arrived at an extremely prosperous palace.

The palace was surrounded by evil spirits and there were ruined buildings all around it, but the palace itself was intact.

After taking a peek with his spiritual sense, Lin Shiyi frowned slightly.

He slowly landed at the palace gate and walked forward step by step. At this time, two armored soldiers came towards him.

The two soldiers had sunken eye sockets with black blood flowing out of them, making them unrecognizable. Black demonic energy was wrapped around their bodies, and they let out hoarse roars from their throats as they staggered towards Lin Shiyi.

"Demon corpse?"

Lin Shiyi frowned and looked at them. The two soldiers had already died. Their movements were controlled by the evil spirit. This kind of situation was recorded in the classics of the sect. It was a monster called a demon corpse.

This kind of monster was not born naturally, but was created by an extremely vicious martial art that had disappeared from the Xuantian Continent for many years.
