Immortal Road.

Lin Shan and Godmother Jinshen failed to reach an agreement.

Everything else can be negotiated, but when it comes to the incense and vows, the godmother will not change anything. After all, this is her spiritual nourishment!
But Lin Shan was unwilling to change his incense, and the two parted unhappily.

"Master, we have searched the entire Lingshu Sect, but we have not found any trace of Elder Heiku."

Lu Xiuming came to report that after searching the ancient sect for a whole night, there was indeed no trace of any clues, except for the thousands of mummies in the underground sand prison that seemed a little suspicious.

After Qin Kui's identification, these were all the lovers who had been killed by the Godmother during the long thousand years of dual cultivation. Their deaths were indeed miserable.

But think about it, the Black Skull Demon Lord is just a skeleton, he shouldn't be sucked dry to death by the Godmother, because there is nothing to suck in the first place.

Let's put this matter aside for the time being. Lin Shan didn't delve into it. Maybe he was imprisoned in some other headquarters, so he turned around and looked at Qin Kui.

Qin Kui looked ingratiating and carefully forced out a smile.

"grown ups?"

"Well, Brother Qin, don't be shy. I want to ask you a few questions."

"It's alright, if you have anything to ask, please feel free to ask. I will tell you everything I know and answer everything I know!"

Lin Shan was very satisfied with his attitude. He who knows the times is a hero.

"Okay, do you know where the godmother went after leaving Lingshu Sect?"

"Happy Sect!"

Qin Kui spoke briefly and to the point, fearing to say even a word of nonsense.

"She wanted to take advantage of the fact that the leader Gu Hun left the Happy Sect to steal the family and harvest the incense."

"Oh?"

Lin Shan suddenly heard another important piece of information!
Gu Hun is not at home either???

Wouldn't that
"By the way, where did all the incense and prayer power of your Lingshu Sect go? Why can't we find even a single cent?"

Qin Kui didn't hide anything.

"They have all been looted by the godmother. I heard from her that my cultivation has reached a bottleneck and I need a lot of incense and vows to break through. So she doesn't even want to let go of those from the Joyful Sect."

"Break the bottleneck?"

The godmother has lived for thousands of years and has long been a master at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage. How could she still encounter a bottleneck? What barrier does she need to break? !
Lin Shan felt an inexplicable sense of urgency.

This time he stole the house, he has completely offended his godmother. If the other party goes to the next level, his days will definitely be difficult!

Unfold the map.

The Lingshu Sect is located in the Virūpī Desert. Across the Virūpī Desert is the headquarters of the Huanxi Sect. Further east is the last headquarters of the Yulan Sect.

West, Middle and East, the three main temples of the Joy Sect are in a straight line.

The Yulan Sect is the territory of the witch Youmei Ji, the Huanxi Sect is controlled by the leader Gu Hun, and now that he is in the Lingshu Sect, the Huanxi Sect is the closest to him!
Godmother Shi Luoyu might be in the Joyful Sect right now!

The fact that the leader Gu Hun was away was a godsend opportunity for him!
Lin Shan closed his eyes and weighed the pros and cons.

What he feared most was that when he was on his way to the Happy Sect and was fighting with the godmother, the sect leader Gu Hun suddenly came back, and he was caught in a situation where he was attacked from both sides.

Not to mention there is also a Phantom Princess.

The four easiest sects of the Huanxi Sect have all collapsed, and the Lingshu Sect was also unexpectedly breached. The only ones left are the Huanxi Sect and the Magnolia Sect.

The three leaders of the Joy Cult each have their own backgrounds. They are the companion, disciple, and daughter of the Joy God, and none of them are easy to deal with.

"No matter what, while Gu Hun is away, we should first attack Huanxi Sect and get Gu Yun!"

As for the godmother
The golden statue of Yanshou was in his hand. He first cursed her to make her lose her skin, and then he killed her in front of him and directly destroyed her golden statue of Yanshou!

How much fighting power does she have left?
As for Qin Kui, he looked over after thinking about it.

The latter looked nervous, as if he realized that he was about to face the judgment of fate, and hurriedly knelt down again!

"Sir, I have been a poor man coerced by my godmother from the beginning to the end. I have a deep hatred for Lingshu Sect and even Huanxi Sect! Fortunately, you saved me. I am willing to follow you and be your dog. Please give me a chance."

He had finally reached the Nascent Soul stage and had been locked in the shadows the entire time. He had not yet been able to enjoy this world properly. How could he be willing to die so easily?
Seeing him kowtow repeatedly and trembling all over, Lin Shan was not moved by his strong will to survive.

There are so many suffering people in this world, and I am not a philanthropist. Unless you are of any use to me, who would be kind enough to help me?

Considering that this person has been cultivating believers for the godmother for many years and looking after the incense and golden statue, he knows a lot of secrets and may be of use in the future.

"Get up, take your godmother and the followers with you, and stay in my Lingbao Cave Heaven first."

From one cage to another, this man had no dissatisfaction and hurriedly expressed gratitude after escaping death.

Next, he was led to the three captured Nascent Soul cultivators.

"This old man is Shi Luofeng, the nephew of Godmother Shi Luoyu, who usually controls the power of Lingshu Sect."

"This is Qiu Yimo, who is in charge of the Lingshu Sect's sacrifices, and the arrangement and collection of incense and worship."

"This one seems to be the ancestor of Kaihe Sect. I met him once a hundred years ago."

Lin Shan nodded, left Shi Luofeng behind, and handed the remaining two to the Jiemie clone in the Xing Mansion.

"Qin Kui? Why are you here?"

After waking up, Shi Luofeng quickly realized the current situation and realized Qin Kui's betrayal, but as a high-ranking member of the sect for many years, he had his own composure.

He actually started negotiating with Lin Shan.

"My fellow Taoist, I am the current leader of Lingshu Sect and the nephew of my godmother Shi Luoyu. If you have any conditions or requests, you can discuss them with my aunt."

"We talked about it, but it fell apart."

Lin Shan didn't continue talking nonsense with him, but went straight to the point and asked if he had seen the Black Skull Demon Lord.

Shi Luofeng shook his head, indicating that he had no idea.

Next, I asked about the godmother herself. This guy was surprisingly loyal and his answers were ambiguous, or he just didn't know!
It seems that he is a die-hard fan of the godmother, no wonder he was left behind to guard the house.

Lin Shan saw that he couldn't pry anything out. A cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul posed great dangers and was not easy to control, so he threw the same thing to the Avatar of Extinction.

This time in the Vimalo Desert, he devoured the Nascent Souls of a total of twelve Nascent Soul cultivators, including five in the middle Nascent Soul stage and seven in the early Nascent Soul stage, which made the cultivation level of the Silence Clone increase greatly again!

Lin Shan was secretly shocked. He always felt that at such a growth rate, his original body would be hard to keep up, and sooner or later he would be completely left behind. The strange Dharma image was really too abnormal!

However, his current goal is to quickly improve his strength.

The strength of the clone is also a kind of one's own strength. If one wants to get a share of the next Wanhui Year spiritual tide and compete with the major holy places, one must seize the opportunity to grow at every moment.

Ignoring everyone, he came to the golden statue of his godmother.

"Why, have you figured it out, fellow Taoist?"

The Godmother opened her eyes, thinking he wanted to come back for another deal.

"you misunderstood."

Lin Shan smiled and pointed a finger at her forehead, setting up a restriction to imprison her remaining soul, pressing it deep into the void so that she could not emerge and could no longer sense the outside world.

He took out the straw man with the Seven Arrows Book, two soul lamps, and held the Mysterious Bow of Nirvana. The cursed spirit that had not been seen for a long time floated out.

"Owner!"

Lin Shan took a look at this guy and found that after decades, his spiritual body had actually improved slightly.

Huh?
Can the cursed spirit also cultivate itself?

"I'm finally dying of suffocation. You haven't cursed anyone in these years, which made me very depressed. Are you going to do something big again this time?"

Looking at Xing Lingjin's wretched appearance, he is the same as the one who cursed Heixun back then.

"Well, this time the one to be cursed is a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. I estimate that he has almost completed the journey to that realm, and is only one step away from the Primordial Spirit stage!"

"Oh?"

The cursed spirit was overjoyed, cheering and dancing.

"Great! If I can succeed in this curse and absorb the spiritual power of the peak Nascent Soul, I'm afraid I can make another step forward!"

Inspiration is an innate talent of all living things. The cursed spirit feeds on it, but this kind of thing is usually difficult to stimulate.

Every time a curse is successful, there is a chance to emerge and absorb, raising the level of the curse spirit.

"Well, be prepared. This time it's a tough one. Don't get upset."

Lin Shan didn't expect it to be successful, but wanted to use it to spy on the strength of his godmother Shi Luoyu.

The wind, thunder and light arrow was firmly on the bowstring, and the arrow hit the straw man right on target!
The wind suddenly blew up, and a vortex in the void was formed in the blink of an eye, revealing the dim light inside, as if it was in a deep corner.

His consciousness instantly traveled through time, and he saw an old woman wrapped in a black robe, talking to the young woman opposite.

Two people?
The one on the left is godmother Shi Luoyu, who is the one on the right?
At this moment, they were in an empty hall with only a brazier crackling. Before they could hear what was being said over there, the godmother's face suddenly changed.

"what happened?"

The young woman opposite couldn't help but ask with concern when she saw this.

"nothing."

The godmother suppressed the palpitation that flashed through her heart and realized that something was wrong. The monks' spiritual perception was very sharp and it was impossible for them to shoot without a target. It seemed that she was being targeted by something.

The next moment, she suddenly saw the strange look in the eyes of the woman opposite her and suddenly wanted to move away.

A vortex of void suddenly exploded above her head, and a ball of gray mist jumped out and drilled into her head!

"what???"

The godmother screamed, a yellow halo appeared behind her head, her face suddenly turned blue, and she stood stiffly in place as if possessed by a ghost.

The woman opposite was also stunned. She looked up at the passage above with some surprise, wondering what was going on.

"Hehehe, old woman, don't resist. Let me see what's in your head."

"what!!!"

Suddenly, a scream came from inside. It seemed to be the spirit of curse. It seemed to have seen something it shouldn't have seen, and suddenly jumped out from the top of the godmother's head.

I saw it covered in gray mist, but its body was covered in yellow flames, and its butt was burning as it swayed in the air like a donkey rolling around.

The godmother snorted and looked up with murderous intent!
"What kind of evil creature dares to invade my sea of ​​consciousness? Who is the one cursing me behind my back? Get out!"

The cursed spirit tried to put out the fire but failed, and Lin Shan wailed in pain. His consciousness was shaken as he reached the entrance of the passage.

Although the godmother was domineering, the woman opposite her keenly noticed that there were faint signs of flesh buds opening in the wrinkles on her face.

She clenched her hands slightly and was about to take action.

"Shu~"

The void channel disappeared.

The halo behind godmother Shi Luoyu's head was removed. She took a long breath and looked over.

"Youmeiji, what do you want to do?"

The woman loosened her clenched hands, pursed her lips and smiled, as if nothing had happened.

"I'm not thinking about anything, Godmother, don't worry, do you want to sit down and recover from your injuries?"

The vortex closed and the curse ended.

"Owner."

The cursed spirit popped out from the ground with a bang, looking terrified and panic-stricken.

Lin Shan sat there without moving: "What happened just now?"

"Just now, I unexpectedly rushed into the old woman's sea of ​​consciousness, intending to destroy it, but who knew that there were countless faces of living beings inside!"

Recalling the situation at that time, it couldn't help but tremble all over.

"Those things seemed to be living ideologies. It was like poking a hornet's nest. They all rushed over to share my spirit body. They were like hungry ghosts in hell. They hadn't eaten for many years and I couldn't get rid of them!"

"I don't know how many of these things are in there. It seems that they can transform at will, switching between entity and nothingness, specifically targeting spirits, and can even pollute my mind."

"If it weren't for the deep connection between the Seven Arrows Book and my spirit body, I might not be able to come back from that moment!"

Lin Shan listened thoughtfully.

There are a large number of ideological aggregates hidden in the godmother's sea of ​​consciousness, as if it is the sequelae of absorbing too much incense and vows. In this case, wouldn't she be mentally ill?
There is also a yellow flame burning towards the cursed spirit, like a maggot attached to the bone that cannot be shaken off. It looks like the incense in the temple. Could it be the fire of vows?

As for his own curse, it seemed to be easily extinguished without causing much trouble.

The Seven Arrows Book is the sect's magical power.
Before the Jindan stage, cursing others can still cause considerable harm, and many creatures of Hell can also descend upon you on orders. However, when you reach the Yuanying stage, especially those at the peak of the Yuanying stage, the power of the curse is not enough.

The creatures from Hell didn't dare to accept orders randomly, because most of their real bodies couldn't beat the Godmother, let alone their projections or clones?
Fortunately, Lin Shan did not expect that a curse could seriously injure this thousand-year-old monster. He could find out the truth, observe the situation, and disgust the opponent from time to time. Small injuries accumulated too much can become big injuries!
The important thing is, what if it attracts strange creatures to take orders?

This is a question of probability.

So he is not in a hurry, not in a hurry at all.

However, another situation that emerged at the scene made him vaguely worried. That young and beautiful woman could actually be on par with the godmother!

He guessed that in the Joy Cult in the Virūpī Desert, there would probably be no other person except the witch Youmeiji.

"The Godmother should be at the headquarters of the Joy Sect right now. How could Princess Youmei be there at the same time?"

He was not sure about the relationship between the two people, but according to rumors, the godmother had secretly done something to the previous witch, so the two might not get along.

If I curse my godmother, I will give Youmeiji the opportunity to take action.

If we are attacked by surprise then, wouldn't we be making things difficult for others in vain?
Anyway, there is no need to stay in Lingshu Sect for a long time. It is a waste of time to stay here. It is better to go to the headquarters of Huanxi Sect to find an opportunity first.

Sit quietly and think about it.

Lin Shan picked up the bow and started his second curse of the day.
