Immortal Road.

Only now is the truth slowly coming to light.

When an ancient epochal inheritance appeared in the lower realm, the first thought of the Pure Lotus Hermit and the Azure Lotus Fairy was not to seize it, but to eliminate each other!
That's why the war between the lower realm factions started so hastily.

If the two immortals were to fight each other first to seize the inheritance, it would likely alarm outsiders and even the upper realm. Even if they succeeded and ascended back, the fruit might still be taken away!

So eliminate the opponent first, and then slowly gather the rest under your control.

It's even possible that Jinglian Jushi (a Buddhist practitioner) planned to cultivate a spokesperson to test the waters and then act as a behind-the-scenes fisherman to clean up the mess.

"It seems the fairy has already discovered it. To be able to track down such a well-hidden sect as the Upper Night Sword Sect, this informant is no ordinary person."

The Azure Lotus Fairy was initially shocked, but then she came to her senses.

Why did Layman Jinglian suddenly reveal this? It turns out that he thought the person who caused trouble for the Shangxiao Sword Sect was an informant he had sent.

She couldn't help but wonder, "When did I send someone?"
Who exactly is that person, that could make Layman Jinglian mistakenly believe he is one of my people!

This wasn't hard to guess. After a moment's thought, Fairy Qinglian filtered through all the subordinates in her own camp. The only ones who could escape unscathed from the Tongtian Lingjian of the Shangxiao Sword Sect, besides the Scattered Demon Old Ghost and the Qinghe Water Demon, were the Xun Gu Sect Master!

"Great, very good."

She gritted her teeth inwardly, a shadow falling over her heart.

Not long ago, he confronted the leader of the Xun Gu sect, and now the Pure Lotus Hermit is confronting himself.

No one expected that Lin Shan would actually use the clues to investigate the power struggle between the two of them!

I did nothing, but I took the blame for this kid.

However, given Qinglian Fairy's status, she naturally couldn't explain anything to Jinglian Jushi, and silently accepted it without fully understanding what was going on.

The forests and mountains stretched for tens of thousands of miles, gradually eroding the sword-shaped waterfall.

Then, at a certain spatial node, he met with Yuan Nian's avatar, took the ancient charm obtained from the Black Lotus Sect, and leisurely returned to the Seeking Ancient Sect.

This tracking trip was very fruitful. We tracked down the Shangxiao Sword Sect's lair in the outer heavens, and in particular, we found traces of Ma Yuanjue!
This cheap master was making a big splash in the cultivation world not long ago, causing the Dan Ding Holy Land to fall apart, and now he has been caught by the Shangxiao Sword Sect.

However, considering the size of the opponent, two old monsters in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, with so many main bodies, clones, and avatars, plus two Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasures, if I were outside and not paying attention, I might have fallen into their trap!

Anyway, Ma Yuanjue is incredibly resilient and should be able to hold on for a while longer. There's no need to rush; we can save him later when we've improved our strength.

As for making threats before leaving, saying he would announce it to the entire cultivation world, that was just to disturb the other party's mind.

After this incident, the Shangxiao Sword Sect will definitely relocate!
The Holy Lord and the Supreme Elder are not fools. To prevent Lin Shan from causing trouble again, they may have already begun to relocate.

As for finding them later, it's very simple. Ma Yuanjue's little apprentice, Jian Guhan, is still working with Lin Shan's Yuan Nian avatar in the Black Lotus Sect!
Just ask for any personal item when the time comes.

Given that the two major camps are about to clash, and spurred on by Fairy Qinglian, he must now concentrate on digesting the ancient charm and comprehensively strengthen his spiritual treasures and supernatural powers in order to prepare for the final showdown!

The Fairy of Green Lotus guessed that he might use incense to enhance his supernatural powers and spiritual treasures, so she made things difficult for him in the past, using incense as bait to keep him hanging, and would not give it to him unless absolutely necessary. This contradictory mentality is now easy to understand.

It's not stinginess, it's wariness!

Therefore, Youmei Ji is just a shield for Qinglian Fairy, and going against her is exactly what her master wants!

"You two can't escape."

Lin Shan returned to his cave and sent Yu Xing Shenjun and Xing Jinshu away from the Star Palace, temporarily entrusting them to the care of two Yuan Nian avatars.

After the incident with the Black Skull Demon Lord, he became more vigilant and made sure that no outsiders would notice anything when using the enhancement panel.

Now that I think back to those days, I was strengthening my magical treasures and pills inside the house, while the Black Skull Demon Lord was just waiting outside, staring blankly at me. As soon as I stepped outside, the house was filled with the fragrance of medicine and spiritual energy. Who wouldn't have some doubts about that?
Everything has its roots and traces, and you should never let your guard down, especially with those closest to you!
Human nature cannot withstand the test of great interests; the words of our predecessors are still fresh in our minds, and we should learn from them in the future.

This time, he's ready to unleash his full potential and is determined to strengthen himself in every aspect!

Because the opponent is the Azure Lotus Fairy, to deal with such a reincarnated immortal, one must go to face the original body in person. No matter what, one cannot hold back in any way. If one makes a mistake, one will be doomed and there will be no chance of starting over.

To do a good job, one must first have the right tools!
Although he currently possesses two Heavenly Treasures, both the Void Star Plate and the Hidden Earth Plate are auxiliary tools. They are helpful in breaking formations and in obtaining favorable timing and location, but they are lacking in other functions.

The opponent is an immortal, who may possess some powerful weapons and life-saving skills. I need to be prepared in this regard, so I must at least enhance one offensive Heavenly Treasure and one defensive Heavenly Treasure!

He had a general idea of ​​what to do in this regard.

Currently, I have more than two spiritual treasures on hand, but the ones I am most comfortable using are my natal soul treasure, the God-Splitting Blade Plate, and my natal spiritual treasure, the Lanfeng Pavilion!

The original intention of these two magical treasures was to design one for offense and one for defense. Strengthening these two is more cost-effective than strengthening other items.

The primordial spirit formed by the reincarnation of an immortal must contain a great deal of yang energy. Even with the current innate spiritual treasure-level God-Splitting Blade Disc, it might not be able to cut it!
Not to mention Lan Fengting, he didn't even dare to use it on several occasions, especially when the fragment of the outer world just faced the Holy Master of the Shangxiao Sword Sect. Under the threat of the Tongtian Spirit Sword, he only dared to use the Calamity Star to withstand it.

If it gets destroyed by the Shangxiao Sword after being thrown out of Lanfeng Pavilion, I won't even have time to feel the pain!
"It's time. Hopefully, it won't let me down."

Lin Shan breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that he doubted the enhancement panel's effectiveness; he was mainly worried that this guy might go crazy and randomly mis-select the spirit treasure skill tree, which would leave him with nothing but tears.

With a buzzing in his head, the God-Splitting Blade Disc, which contained twelve God-Slaying Flying Knives, was taken out.

I gently covered it with my hand, caressing its delicate texture and feel, silently reciting that command that I hadn't given in a long time.

"God-Splitting Blade Disc - Enhanced!"

Ding~ Ding ding ding ding ding——

The cries of blades instantly merged into one, the blade disc in his hand was shaking violently, and the God-Slaying Flying Knives hanging on it all began to jump involuntarily, one by one uncontrollably breaking away from the hub and starting to wander and dance around the blade disc!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
The wind whistled past his ears, sharp and cutting his skin; the force of the passing air stung his face!

As it spun repeatedly, the magical artifacts in his hands, whether blades or throwing knives, were all collectively reshaped in a hazy white light.

At the last moment, the light dimmed, leaving only a mysterious, bright silver in the dark chamber, shimmering and reflecting on his face.

[Primordial Realm God-Slaying Disc] Quality: Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure
Introduction: The twelve God-Slaying Flying Knives have shed their original forms, absorbing the primordial energy of all things in this world to transform into 'Primordial Blades,' world-class derivative spiritual treasures. The blades flow with primordial spiritual light, nurturing and shaping the primordial spirit at the center of the blade's core. They can draw upon the essence of heaven and earth and yin energy to refine themselves for their own use, with a chance to one day embark on the path to immortality!
When used independently, each throwing knife comes with its own 'Primordial Realm Slash', which can sever the connection between the enemy's consciousness and their physical body.

When used together, they can be combined into a dimensional blade array, which has two forms:
① Primordial Spirit Purgatory: A fictional, bewitching illusionary realm with eighteen random purgatory scenarios. After locking the target, the blade array transforms into thousands of blade shadows, losing its fixed form. Each strike directly targets the soul threads and deprives the opponent of some of their ability to perceive the world.

② Primordial Spirit Protection: The blade plate unfolds a 'Primordial Realm Barrier', which not only resists attacks on the soul, but also binds the user's primordial spirit to the blade plate, forming a 'natal soul armor' to reduce damage to the primordial spirit.

Enhancement required: 256 points

Lin Shan felt as if the blade in his hand weighed more than ten thousand pounds!
The key reason lies in the recent transformation, which absorbed the primordial energy of all things in this world and transformed into a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure derived from this world.

The term "metaworld" does not refer to any specific world; it represents the first parent world experienced.

The 'Primordial Realm God-Slaying Disc' is a God-Slaying Blade Disc that has been nurtured and transformed by the primordial energy of this world!
Generally, once you reach the level of a spiritual treasure, it is divided into innate spiritual treasures and acquired spiritual treasures. However, there is also a world-class derivative spiritual treasure, which is equivalent to the chosen one among innate spiritual treasures.

A true gem among gems!

The enhancement panel somehow took a shortcut, borrowing the primordial energy of all things in this world to cleanse the God-Splitting Blade Disc, ultimately transforming it into a world-class derivative Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure.

The spirit of the weapon also rose in status, because the God-Slaying Flying Knife was endowed with the radiant glow of a primordial spirit. It sat upright in the center of the blade plate, enjoying the nourishment of the twelve primordial blades day and night.

There is a chance that they will embark on the path to immortality in the future, which means they may become an independent and complete life form!

This kind of life form is renowned throughout the myriad realms and is known as the 'Weapon Clan'.

Of course, there are thousands of subcategories within the Weapon Clan. For example, there is a Demon Soldier Clan in the Hell World. Lin Shan once cursed and summoned a Purgatory Demon Bell, which is a scene of a demonic creature becoming sentient.

It now appears that the aura of the artifact spirit dagger is extremely weak; if one were to make a rough estimate, it would be roughly equivalent to a Qi Refining stage cultivator among humans.

However, with the blessing of the world's halo, he might one day become a patriarch and set a precedent for the spirit weapon race.

Lin Shan looked at the brand-new blade disc, which emitted a hazy gray glow, and absorbed the new energy that was flooding into his mind. He communicated with the weapon spirit, the little knife, while testing the new functions he had acquired.

He drew a God-Slaying Throwing Knife, tried switching to indiscriminate attack mode, and slashed it in front of himself!
"Humph"

A slight pain shot through his head as a wisp of his consciousness was severed, instantly severing his connection with his original spirit.

As expected, the new God-Slaying Flying Knife has been enhanced, and a single blade can damage the primordial spirit!

Then, all twelve throwing knives were thrown into the air and arranged into a 'Primordial Blade Array' according to the instructions of the weapon spirit, Little Knife. The blades formed a circle with their blades facing inward, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into a misty cloud.

The entire secret chamber transformed into a nebula universe, where one could sense countless sword shadows, evoking a feeling akin to facing the Azure Wave Sword Formation of the Shangxiao Sword Sect.

This is equivalent to carrying a sixth-order killing array with you at will, opening and closing it whenever you want!

Moreover, it comes with the function of depriving the senses, creating eighteen kinds of purgatory-like illusions, which have unknowingly evolved into the level of illusion.

Lin Shan discovered that all supernatural powers or magical treasures, even those that specialize in a particular field and reach the pinnacle in a certain area, will still tend towards illusion.

This is a required question; you can choose not to use it, but you cannot do without it.

Because the six senses are the tentacles that life extends outward to its self-awareness of the world, the essence of fighting with others is nothing more than severing these tentacles, rendering the opponent unable to resist.

At this stage, it is difficult to cut off the senses directly from the source, so the aid of illusion is needed. This is a common method in countless killing fields, and it is particularly prominent in various formations.

The 'Soul-Slaying Silk' is more geared towards targeting the primordial spirit's organizational structure. It's a demonstration of how a skilled butcher can dissect an ox, proving that the God-Slaying Flying Knife has evolved into the Primordial Realm Blade, and has become a powerful weapon against the primordial spirit after dealing with Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators!
Lin Shan was itching to try it out, wishing he could find a primordial spirit to test the waters first.

But besides his own primordial avatar, whom he couldn't bring himself to harm, the only others left were Yu Xing Shen Jun and Xing Jin Shu.

After thinking about it, since the two of them were still working hard to create the inheritance of their star magic abilities, it was not convenient to disturb them, so he had no choice but to give up for the time being.

In addition to the Primordial Spirit Purgatory, the Primordial Realm Blade Array also includes a Primordial Spirit Protection!
This change shows that the skill tree in the enhancement panel is a bit skewed, shifting from extreme killing to vertical development.

This actually made Lin Shan somewhat dissatisfied.

Because once defensive capabilities are added, offensive capabilities will inevitably be reduced, and being all-encompassing means being mediocre!

As for why this was the case, he guessed that after he lost his identity as a soul cultivator, the panel system, after comprehensive consideration, felt that his primordial spirit might become a breakthrough point, so it was necessary to add a barrier.

But thinking about it carefully, who exactly are Fairy Qinglian and Layman Jinglian?

The other party is a reincarnated true immortal, whose cultivation level is two stages higher than his, and whose primordial spirit is definitely stronger than his!

Therefore, before understanding the opponent's methods, using the primordial spirit for defense is indeed a safe option, and it is beneficial and harmless to him.

After briefly testing the functions of the blade array, such as the 'Primordial Barrier' and 'Natal Armor,' which covered his entire primordial spirit like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, Lin Shan breathed a sigh of relief.

Take out the Lanfeng Pavilion again.

Compared to spiritual defense, physical defense is even more important!
He was walking the path of a pure Yang True Immortal. If his physical body perished, his primordial spirit would not go far. The essence of his physical body would continuously supply his primordial spirit, protecting him on his future path of cultivation. This was something he absolutely could not be careless about.

This magical artifact is more of a support item; we'll see how it changes after being upgraded.

"Lanfeng Pavilion, strengthen!"

bang bang bang-

A burst of clouds exploded in the secret chamber, instantly turning everything white before his eyes. He felt as if he were flying in the clouds, with wisps of wind swirling around his ears.

Suddenly, his wind spirit root was activated, and the small tree continued to climb and grow, leading him to a vast and desolate space in a hazy state!
Here, all sorts of lights flickered, and the red, orange, yellow, and blue winds crisscrossed in opposite directions, presenting different kinds of lines. He swayed left and right in them, feeling dizzy and unable to see the mystery at all.

But a word I had inadvertently come across in a certain book on cultivation came to mind.

"Wind patterns, these are the legendary wind patterns!" (End of Chapter)
