The Legend of the Netherworld

During his breakthrough, Lin Xiao absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy and transformed it into his own strength. His blood boiled, and his skin became tougher, as if the power of heaven and earth were injecting energy into his breakthrough. Meanwhile, the sky above the Feng Shui Academy was filled with lightning and thunder, as if nature itself was shaken by this unusual phenomenon.

At this moment, a man suddenly flew into a minefield where thunder and lightning intertwined, and endured the tempering of thunder and lightning.

After a night of practice, Lin Xiao successfully broke through to the fifth level of Jiazi. He felt his own strength surge again, and he seemed to be reborn.

When they opened their eyes, the dark clouds and lightning in the sky dissipated, replaced by a colorful glow, as if adding a touch of auspiciousness to Lin Xiao's breakthrough. However, everyone only then discovered that the person who flew into the minefield yesterday was Elder Sanyuan.

Elder Sanyuan slowly descended from the sky, landing on the roof of Sanyuan Palace. The disciples within the palace cheered and congratulated Elder Sanyuan on his successful breakthrough into the Jiachen realm. Elder Sanyuan had clearly received a tremendous opportunity, breaking through a realm he had been stuck in for years.

However, the Feng Shui Academy's Zen Hall was completely silent. In the main hall, the Zen Elder's face was livid, displeased. Like the Three Yuan Elders, he had been stuck in the Jiayin Ninth Realm for years. Now, his sworn enemy had broken through first, leaving him with an insatiable sense of resentment.

Meanwhile, in the back mountains, Lin Xiao, after successfully breaking through to the Jiazi Fifth Realm, excitedly ran to the cave to find the Dirty Taoist Priest. On the one hand, he wanted to share his joy of breaking through, and on the other hand, he wanted to inquire about the situation in the Desolate Ancient Forest. When the Dirty Taoist Priest heard Lin Xiao mention the Desolate Ancient Forest, his expression suddenly changed. Thinking of his dead disciples, he asked in a serious tone, "Do you want to go to the Desolate Ancient Forest?"

Lin Xiao nodded firmly and said, "Yes, entering the ancient forest can not only consolidate my realm, but also help me find opportunities and treasures. Why not go?"

The dirty Taoist sighed and said coldly, "How many people have died in the ancient forest because they believed your idea. It's not the treasure land you imagined, but a burial place."

Lin Xiao still insisted: "I just want to know the situation, it doesn't matter if you don't want to tell me." He turned and prepared to leave, intending to go to the Feng Shui Academy to learn more. Lin Xiao didn't know what happened to the dirty Taoist priest in the ancient forest.

Just as Lin Xiao was about to leave the cave, the dirty Taoist suddenly spoke, "If you really want to go to the Ancient Forest, defeat me today. I will personally escort you to the forest entrance. Otherwise, going there will be your own death. Don't think that your physical body is invincible now. What's in the forest is far beyond your imagination."

Lin Xiao knew that his path of cultivation couldn't stay at the Feng Shui Academy forever. Facing the filthy Taoist's obstruction, he knew in his heart that the Desolate Ancient Forest was a place he had to go, no matter how dangerous it was. So, Lin Xiao firmly told the filthy Taoist, "I must go to this Desolate Ancient Forest. You can't stop me."

After saying that, Lin Xiao displayed the "Dragon Traveling Across the Seas" body movement technique and quickly rushed out of the cave. Lin Xiao thought that the dirty Taoist priest was behaving in a paternalistic manner, and that he would never let his children go to any dangerous place. However, Lin Xiao was not a child, so he had to go to this ancient forest.

However, he didn't expect the Dirty Taoist to be waiting at the cave entrance, blocking his path. The Dirty Taoist approached him in an instant, his speed exceeding Lin Xiao's expectations and shocking him. Clearly, the Dirty Taoist had never before displayed his true strength.

Before he could react, the dirty Taoist priest shoved Lin Xiao with his shoulder, sending him flying several meters and landing heavily on the ground. The dirty Taoist priest said coldly, "With your strength, you still want to enter the Ancient Forest? Even a grasshopper in there can kill you."

Lin Xiao scrambled to his feet, gritting his teeth and saying, "If others can go, I, Lin Xiao, can go too!" He immediately launched a counterattack, attacking the dirty Taoist priest with a "Dragon Shadow Fist." However, the dirty Taoist priest dodged easily, his figure like a ghost, making Lin Xiao's attack completely miss.

Taking advantage of the moment when the dirty Taoist priest dodged, Lin Xiao immediately rushed out of the cave, intending to escape. However, the dirty Taoist priest reacted extremely quickly and quickly caught up and intercepted Lin Xiao.

He sneered, "You're not going anywhere unless you defeat me." Then, the dirty Taoist attacked, sending a "Dragon Shadow Fist" straight into Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao tried to dodge, but the dirty Taoist was too fast, and he was effectively hit by a powerful punch, sending him flying into the air.

Before Lin Xiao could even begin to fall, the dirty Taoist followed closely behind him, delivering a whirlwind kick to the abdomen. Lin Xiao plummeted toward the ground at an even faster speed, sending dust flying. Despite this, Lin Xiao managed to stand up, gritting his teeth and saying, "We both know that none of your moves can harm my flesh."

The dirty Taoist sneered: "Really?" Before he finished speaking, he appeared in front of Lin Xiao in an instant, grabbed Lin Xiao's arm with an incredible speed, and performed the "Soul-Locking Grabbing Hand" to lock Lin Xiao's left arm to Lin Xiao's right arm, and his left foot to his right foot, and then locked Lin Xiao's limbs together. As usual, Lin Xiao was still like a lamb to be slaughtered, with his limbs locked on his back and his body pressed to the ground. Lin Xiao was manipulated by the dirty Taoist like a toy, and was stuck to the ground and unable to move.

The dirty Taoist priest looked down at Lin Xiao, who was chained to the ground, and said calmly: "The moves are still somewhat useful. So what if your physical body is invincible? You don't even have a chance to resist."

This time, Lin Xiao didn't beg for mercy, nor did he curse. Then the dirty Taoist said, "I don't ask you to defeat me. As long as you can touch me once, I will let you go."
