Immortal Road.

Lin Shan actually instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Because if the Black Lotus Cult did it, according to their past behavior, they should have done it secretly, not giving anyone else any handle, or even manipulated public opinion to frame others!
How did it become known to everyone?
The Black Lotus Cult has been fully proven to be a professional behind-the-scenes mastermind in the last siege of Ms. Jinglian!

This time, when the Joy Sect was destroyed, he single-handedly took down four sects, and another mastermind took down two sects. The last headquarters of the Joy Sect was taken down by everyone's joint efforts.

Based on this alone, I feel that if it was the Black Lotus Sect, it would definitely not be possible for them to capture less than what I have captured. After all, the other party's power is much larger than mine!

"Perhaps someone else is secretly putting the blame on the Black Lotus Cult."

The Black Lotus Cult has offended so many forces that it is no exaggeration to call it a rat crossing the street that everyone wants to kill it. Especially since Mr. Jinglian has an identity from the upper realm, it is not impossible for him to use some means to put this evil cult in a bad light.

"Master, we have searched, but we still cannot find the whereabouts of Elder Hei Ku."

The disciples of Xun Gu Sect turned the sand prison of Huan Xi Sect upside down. There were indeed many ruthless people imprisoned inside, but there was no trace of the Black Skull Demon Lord.

Lin Shan frowned and waved his sleeves casually to indicate that he understood.

The entire Joy Church has been searched for this skeleton, but it still hasn't been found. Where could it be imprisoned?
"Master Lin, is there anything I can help you with?"

Many Nascent Soul cultivators were curious and asked him if he needed to look for someone. Anyway, they had more people than him and knew how to use their power, so they didn't mind doing him a favor.

Lin Shan sighed and didn't bother anyone.

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness. I came to the Virūpī Desert this time mainly to rescue my sect's elder Heiku. According to the letter, he is trapped here, but now it seems that he is no longer in the Huanxi Sect."

Everyone was amazed.

"Master Lin came from hundreds of thousands of miles away and personally led his disciples to rescue us. He even defeated several sects of the Joyful Sect. He is truly a man of loyalty and righteousness. We admire him."

Xiangren Zhenjun of the God-Slaying Mansion stroked his beard, thinking:
"The Viruo Desert is very vast, and it is one of the largest desert belts in the world. It is divided into five deserts: east, west, south, north, and center, but the largest one is the northern desert!"

"If your elders are missing here, and we can't find the Joy Sect's location, then we can only look for them in the Northern Desert."

"It just so happens that several of our forces have recently set up camp there, waiting for the opportunity of the sky crack. If Sect Leader Lin has finished his work here, why not go there together and look for it while waiting!"

"what do you think?"

Leader Tailong of the Western Region Alliance also extended a warm invitation, saying that he was willing to make room for the Xun Gu Sect in his own camp.

The rest of the people did not respond because they were not powerful enough and most of them were pushed to the margins and had no core competitiveness.

He knew he was not worthy enough to compete with the two top powers, so he kept silent.

Lin Shan's eyes narrowed and his heart moved slightly!

From hearsay, the crack in the sky is probably similar to the Yulong River in the south of Lu State. They should be the spiritual tides that were missed by the holy land during the Wanhui period.

After all, there is a precedent. It is said that the sky crack is similar to the one on the Disi Plateau, but the scale is smaller.

He had previously declined the invitation from the ancestor of the Kong family of Lu State and gave up going to Yulong River with many Confucian forces, mainly to take the opportunity to come to Huanxi Sect to harvest the ancient charm.

Now that the Joyful Sect has been completely destroyed, and the Vimalakirti Desert is so close, it wouldn't hurt to take a trip there.

This is a good opportunity to take a look at what kind of strange phenomenon in the world can attract so many people!
As soon as the thought came to his mind, he answered casually:

"Haha, since you two have invited me, I am sorry to bother you."

"Hahaha, no way~"

"Then we can form an alliance, help each other, and work together to increase our chances of winning!"

Lord Xiangren and Alliance Leader Tailong laughed heartily, and the three of them were having a great time.

Many Nascent Soul cultivators knew they couldn't squeeze through this threshold, so they could only gather in a circle and smile awkwardly.

The Joyful Sect had completed its retreat, and many other forces withdrew their troops and left.

Although this place is a rare treasure, no one wants to occupy it and voluntarily gives it up with reluctance.

Because the God of Joy has resurrected, this is great news!
When his son is born in the future, he will most likely come back to his old nest to re-establish his religion and recruit disciples.

Staying here is tantamount to seeking death, and no one dares to offend that big shot in the Yuanshen period.

They come in sparse numbers and leave in large numbers.

Lin Shan was surrounded by the crowd all the way, heading north together. Everyone envied him for owning the Lingbao Cave, which could accommodate his disciples. This way, he would be free of burden and his subordinates could be deployed at any time!

Unlike them, they have to arrange themselves in formation, with flying magic weapons arranged in groups, which is bloated, complicated, and troublesome.

Enter the depths of the Northern Desert.

After returning overnight, I finally saw the severe scar on the sky from a distance!

Like a tree branch in an ink painting, with all kinds of hooks and crosses, as well as ink-colored stains and black spots, you can faintly see the folds of the sky.

Crack in the sky!

And directly below, with this as the center, densely packed cities and camps have been built.

Many forces gathered in the northwest of the continent, all eager to make a comeback through this opportunity, and the ticket to entry is the Nascent Soul stage cultivation!
Even so, the closer we got, the fewer people there were around us, and most of them had withdrawn and could only stay in the peripheral areas.

When he arrived at the center, only Master Xiangren and Alliance Leader Tailong were left by his side.

As for Patriarch Qingmang, he had said goodbye to everyone halfway through the journey. He was a free cultivator, free to move around without any restrictions, and did not follow the same path as them.

Watching it up close, Lin Shan looked up at the huge scar on his head and could feel a strong pressure coming towards him!

This scar was too hideous, and inside the black crack was a void storm visible to the naked eye! Countless white lines were rolling in waves, and the powerful particle flow drove the wind pressure on the main world side, destroying the Nine Heavens Gale Belt, making people feel uncomfortable.

"Brother Xiangren, Brother Tailong, have you two returned triumphantly from the Joy Cult? Did you bring back any goodies?"

"Hey, why did you bring a young man in the middle stage of Yuanying? Did you find a helper from outside?"

"You two didn't even bother introducing yourselves to us. We've been neighbors for days, but you didn't even say hello!"

"It is said that the God of Joy has revived. Is this true?"

Loud voices of inquiry came from all the camps. It must be the Nascent Soul ancestors of the top forces who were watching the show, making jokes, or trying to get information. "Ignore them, let's go."

The two of them took Lin Shan directly to a city. The city was clearly divided into two parts, half green and half red. It was jointly built by the Lushen Mansion and the Western Region Alliance, and it was a temporary joint base for the two.

There are many green-robed disciples and red-robed disciples walking around in the city, and there are various houses for rent along the streets. There are all kinds of shops selling various cultivation resources and the sounds of hawking are endless. They have turned it into a small cultivation market!

The two twin towers in the center are the caves built by the senior executives of their two families.

There is a connecting corridor between the seven floors of the two towers. In the center is a pavilion, where many Nascent Soul cultivators are waving at them.

"Master Lin, please!"

As the two landed here, more than ten Nascent Soul cultivators surrounded them.

Master Xiangren and Patriarch Tailong pressed their hands together:

"Don't worry, everyone. Let me introduce you to this person, Sect Leader Lin of the Xun Ancient Sect in Luxi. It was thanks to his power that we were able to break through the formation during the siege of the Joy Sect's headquarters. He is truly a living master of formations!"

These people were all Nascent Soul cultivators from the God-Slaying Mansion and the Western Region Alliance, who stayed here as allies to guard the base camp. After hearing the news, they all greeted him and repeatedly praised Lin Shan for his youth and potential.

“Not only that, the Joy Cult’s mother Shi Luoyu also died at the hands of Cult Master Lin. Even when the incarnation of Joy God appeared at the end, it was also destroyed by Cult Master Lin’s great magical power.”

Everyone was amazed and their scalps tingled. Look at this young man, who originally looked very approachable, but suddenly became as terrifying as a tiger!

Master Xiangren and Alliance Leader Tailong smiled as if they had expected this, guessing that these allies would be stunned, and quickly invited Lin Shan to take a seat.

Seeing this, everyone dared not to be negligent. They offered good tea and fruits and asked about the experience of the Happy Sect.

After the two ancestors flattered him, Lin Shan could not help himself and coughed awkwardly to indicate that it was enough before he finally stopped.

But there was only awe in everyone's eyes.

After all, no matter whether it is the godmother Shi Luoyu who has lived for a thousand years, or the incarnation of the divine consciousness of the God of Joy, the people who can destroy such existence are all powerful people standing at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, which is naturally out of their reach!

The further you advance in the realm of immortality, the bigger the gap becomes. Naturally, everyone knows clearly what kind of ruthless person the two ancestors brought back.

After reminiscing about the past, they became familiar with each other and became more friendly.

Hearing that Lin Shan came to the Vimalo Desert mainly to look for the missing and trapped Elder Hei Ku, these Nascent Soul cultivators all smiled and patted their chests, saying that they would immediately delegate the task of finding the person to the alliance and mobilize all forces to help him look for him in the desert!

Lin Shan clasped his fists and thanked him. After all, there is strength in numbers. If he could really find the Black Skull Demon Lord in this way, it would actually save him a lot of trouble.

Next, let’s get back to the topic.

About the crack in the sky.

In the past few days, various major forces have sent people to monitor the original Nine Heavens Gale Belt day and night, and even used their homemade magic weapons and instruments and threw them into the void storm to take samples and make inferences.

After comparing from many angles, it was found that the flow of the void storm outside was about one third smaller than before the beginning!

When it came to the key points, he even lowered his voice for fear that it would be heard outside.

"Based on the conclusions we have drawn during this period of time, there is an anchor in the void that can remain stationary and as stable as a mountain in the void storm. It is a large floating island!"

"If the spiritual tide on the Disi Plateau twenty years ago was really the arrival of something from the immortal world, as public opinion suggests, then this floating island should be the anchor point of the immortal world for this world."

"It's not that we, the Nascent Soul cultivators, don't have the ability to survive in the void, but we don't have the strength to break through the space barrier! Now that the crack in the sky has opened, the distance from the exit to the floating island is only two or three thousand miles. If we don't count the consumption of true essence and burst out with all our strength, it will only take an hour to walk there!"

It seems that it is not impossible for a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage to cross the void in one hour.

Although no one present had ever tried it, nor had the opportunity to experience it, they all had some confidence in themselves and could be seen to be eager to give it a try.

"Wait until the void storm slows down a bit and the flow rate drops to 30% of its original level, then we can take the risk and give it a try!"

The reason why we didn’t wait until the void storm completely subsided before going was mainly because the competitive pressure was too great.

If only one force is keeping the secret, then there is nothing wrong in pursuing safety and stability, but with so many forces watching, there will always be people who take risks!
If other forces get there first, then the latecomers will have no choice but to follow behind and eat dust.

Moreover, it is unknown whether the void storm will eventually subside and how long it will take for this crack in the sky to disappear as the world repairs it.

Gu Hun, the leader of the Joyful Sect, had underestimated his own strength due to his eagerness and plunged into the void storm to try it out early. As a result, he fell in and disappeared. After such a long time, he still couldn't come out. Everyone speculated that he was dead!

Without the strength of the Yuanshen period, you cannot break the space barrier, so you can only enter and exit from the same place!

Gu Hun was unable to come out, most likely because he was swept away by the void storm and drifted in the desolate void for a long time away from the main world. He lost his way and ran out of supplies. Even a cultivator in the Yuanshen stage had to suffer!
"We will continue to monitor and when the time is right, we will notify you in advance so that you can prepare early."

"Next, rest and recuperate as much as possible to prepare for the war in the near future!"

"And the construction of the Void Sailing Flying Boat Magical Weapon, how is the progress now?"

The Nascent Soul cultivator in charge of shipbuilding did not say anything, but judging from his eyes and expression, he should be secretly conveying a message to Master Xiangren and Alliance Leader Tailong, and no one took it seriously.

This is a secret, which concerns how many disciples can be brought there at that time. The more people there are, the greater the chances are. The probability of obtaining treasures by searching the Void Floating Island will also be greater. Otherwise, why would they bring so many people?
Lin Shan didn't care. Anyway, he had the Lingbao Cave Heaven, so he didn't need to create any void magic weapon.

Zhenjun Xiangren and Alliance Leader Tailong also greeted each other in advance, thinking that if there were not enough Void Magical Weapons, could they send some men and horses into his Lingbao Cave?

Lin Shan agreed with a smile. Since they were only forming a short-term alliance and he still needed the help of others for information, it would be just a matter of giving them a ride back home. It would be a piece of cake.

Next, the discussion is over.

The two ancestors allowed him to choose a courtyard in the city to use as his cave, and said they would notify him immediately if anything happened.

The disciples of Xun Gu Sect were also released and were temporarily allowed to move around in and outside the city. Lin Shan did not restrict the freedom of his subordinates.

However, the members of the Demonic Kun Sect and the captured members of the Joy Sect still remained in the cave.

After settling in.

Lin Shan set up restrictions around his residence and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I have some free time to sort out and summarize all the gains from the destruction of the Joy Sect in the Virūpī Desert.

Try to improve yourself in all aspects again before crossing the void storm of the sky crack! (End of this chapter)
