Immortal Road.

"Now, the Feathered Royal Family has sent three branches to pass through the Dixi Plateau on a large scale and station troops at the northwest border of Luxilu. Although the Kongsanghai aliens stood aside and watched, they secretly acquiesced and provided convenience."

At this point, the whole audience fell silent, and everyone's face looked a little ugly.

Because this is pure slander and an unprovoked disaster!

Everyone knows whether the Xun Gu Sect has raised the Feathered People to exploit them. Of course, the answer is no, but the rumors are definitely not groundless, which means that someone is secretly targeting them.

People had different guesses. Some thought it was a trap set by the great enemy in the south, the Jade Mansion of Langhuan. Some thought it was the remnants of the Shang family and the Shangyang Academy. Some thought it was the aliens who deliberately made excuses to make trouble. Some even thought it was Zhong Shenxiu from the White Deer Academy.
All kinds of conspiracy theories came out of their mouths, and they all made some sense anyway!

Lin Shan was a little depressed now. It was obvious that those flying magic weapons were the inventory of the Feathered Clan. He created the Yulin Army to enhance the strength of the disciples of the Xun Gu Sect. However, in the eyes of some people, it became an opportunity for attack and he actually brought himself a powerful enemy!
However, there was no way to compromise on this, because he did not raise any winged people in the first place, and his family, from top to bottom, were all using flying magic tools and magic treasures, and he had also spent ancient rhyme to strengthen them into spiritual treasures.

How is it possible to destroy it on the spot?
"What is the strength of the Feather Clan's royal family?"

He asked Lu Xiuming, believing that he should have found out the origins long ago.

Lu Xiuming did not disappoint him:

"In the Far North, the Ice and Snow Alliance, one of the three major gathering places for alien races in this world."

"There are seven royal families in the Ice and Snow Alliance, and the Feather Clan is one of them. They have a lot of say in the alliance."

"It is known that there are seven or eight branches under his command, distributed in various corners of this world, and no one knows how many are hidden."

"This time, three groups came from the Disi Plateau to borrow the passage. It is said that each group has more than ten thousand people, and there are more than a handful of Yuanying stage cultivators!"

Lin Shan sat on the armrest of the throne, tapping his fingers slightly, thinking about the interests involved.

The people below were also waiting quietly, looking at him in unison.

After thinking for a while, the tricky part of this matter is that the other party is now only deploying troops on the border and has been putting pressure on the Xun Gu Sect, demanding the release of the Feathered People captives and the destruction of flying magic tools and artifacts. Obviously, the other party does not want to easily provoke a racial war.

But he knew he was wronged, but he couldn't prove himself.

If he simply charged into the Disi Plateau and wiped out these three branches of the Feathered People, it would not be difficult for him, but he was afraid that the hundreds of tribes of the Star Palace in Kongsanghai would regard it as a provocation!
The Xingdian clans have been passed down for thousands of years, with many races, and are truly huge. Even if Yuxing Zhenjun was resurrected, I'm afraid he might not be able to suppress it now. With the current size of the Xungu Cult, it really can't be offended casually!
"Well, since they are testing the edge of the human kingdom, we can use the Yunchuan Academy on Yunqi Cliff in western Shandong and the Lujiang Academy in Dingshang City in northern Shandong as links and station troops at each location for defense."

"We will not take the initiative to attack, we will just be responsible for defense, so as not to cause a stress reaction from Kongsanghai."

"If these three feathered tribes dare to extend their hands into Lu, we will cut them off. There shouldn't be any problem in the short term."

Everyone nodded. This was the only option available now.

"And then, let's continue."

After Lu Xiuming finished talking about the two important things, a hint of tension was added, and the atmosphere in the hall became slightly depressing.

And then came the third thing, the second outbreak of the Wanhuinian spiritual tide!

There was only one location of the outbreak close to the State of Lu, and that was in the Demonic Realm in the northeastern part of Lu.

The cultivation world of Jin State!
"The specific location is in the Fallen Demon Valley in Jin State. This place is a famous demon cave in Jin State. It is said that it has some infiltration with the dark side of the demon world and has been listed as a forbidden area for many years."

"Twelve years ago, after the spiritual tide was discovered here, outside forces flocked in and supported agents to fight for it. The huge monsters involved are currently unknown."

"I only know that the agents are divided into two camps and four factions!"

"The two major camps are the Jin State's native camp and the external intervention camp. The Jin State's native camp is the Yuan Mo Sect and the Huang Quan Sect, and the external intervention camp is the Xu Shen Mountain in the neighboring Chu State and the Qing League in Jiaozhou to the north!"

"The Yuan Mo Sect and Huang Quan Sect are each supported by a holy land. Xu Shen Mountain and Qing Meng are also taken over by super powers. The four major factions have formed alliances with each other. It is said that they are still in the stage of fierce fighting."

Everyone just thought they were listening to a story. After all, the State of Jin was still far away from western Lu and had nothing to do with them. In the magic world, people were just biting each other, and it didn't matter to them.

But Lin Shan is different!
The State of Jin sank into the Demonic Valley, and he once went in there!
At that time, when he was in the Jindan stage and was being hunted by Xuanyong Zhenjun of the Wudao Sect and Heixun of the Wumazu, in order to help the Demon Dog Lord recover his Nascent Soul strength, he went to the Sunken Demon Valley to look for the source of energy from the demon world.

Although I can't say that I am familiar with the place, I at least have a general understanding of it and remember some of the terrain.

Unexpectedly, the second round of spiritual tide would erupt there!

Judging from the current situation, a total of four holy-land-level forces have gotten involved, relying on the two top local sects, as well as the forces of the neighboring Chu State and Jiaozhou, and have begun competing openly and covertly!
Lin Shan thought about it and clenched his hands slightly, regretting that he did not have the strength at the moment. If he intervened rashly, he would be in great danger.

Take note of this for now, close your eyes and let Lu Xiuming continue.

"These are basically the major events in the surrounding areas. There are also some wars in other places such as northern and eastern Shandong, but they are just minor fights in the domestic cultivation world."

"There is also our Lin's Chamber of Commerce. Currently, we have opened branches in the Western Region and around the West Coast, and are slowly growing and developing in this world."

"The Central Region's Jingyang Academy, Kong Family, and others all sent messengers to deliver messages to the leader a few years ago, but you didn't disturb them during your retreat."

After the report is completed.

Lin Shan got a general understanding of the situation, took a pile of letters and read them.

"Write back to Jingyang Academy and the Kong family. I will personally visit them in the near future and say hello in advance."

"Yes!"

After taking care of the trivial matters, everyone sat down at the banquet and chatted while eating.

It has been a while since we had such a big gathering. Everyone was staying in different places, and we finally had the chance to get together, so naturally it was bound to be a lively occasion.

After reminiscing about the past, everyone went their separate ways.

Lin Shan left behind Lu Xiuming, Master Zhankong, Wu Hanqiao and Ruyu. Currently, these four are the only ones who have cultivated to the peak of the Golden Core.

He checked the conditions of these people's bodies one by one, as well as any hidden dangers and defects. He simply took action himself, using the powerful true essence of the late Nascent Soul stage to enter their bodies and set things right!
As for bestowing upon them the Nascent Soul stage techniques that were suitable for their own attributes, he had already studied them thoroughly over the past fifty years, and then took out various props to assist in breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, helping them to break through right under his nose.

The first person to come up was Wu Hanqiao, whose talent was second only to Mu Yan. In his opinion, he had the deepest foundation and was sure to break through, so he let the other three watch the whole process to gain experience.

"Boom~~~"

Thunder flashed in the sky and plasma burst out.

Wu Hanqiao really lived up to expectations. He was calm and confident. After going through the thirty-nine thunder tribulations, under Lin Shan's hands-on instruction, he was able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage in just less than two days!

The second one is Ruyu. This girl is also talented. She once followed the White Bone Demon Lord and has been immersed in the Golden Core Stage for a long time. She has a solid foundation. With Lin Shan backing her up, she naturally has nothing to be afraid of.

With Wu Hanqiao's proof, she already had an idea in mind.

After experiencing twenty-seven thunder tribulations, his aura rose and fell, and he finally got what he wanted and entered the Nascent Soul stage!

The third one is Lu Xiuming. As an old man who has followed him and has always been the most important assistant in the sect, Lin Shan must help him pass the Nascent Soul stage no matter what.

However, things like transcending tribulation are scary at first, but after seeing it many times, it becomes just like that, especially after witnessing it with his own eyes and watching the first two people handle it with ease, he was mentally prepared.

In addition, he had been the chief steward for so many years, so what kind of natural treasures could he not find? His own foundation was even stronger than jade!
With the resources of the forest and mountains piled up, and several ancient treasures for self-defense, he finally survived the thunderstorm without any danger. When the nectar of heaven and earth appeared, he couldn't help but lie on the ground with wet eyes. Feeling the change in the aptitude of his spiritual roots, the improvement of his understanding brought about the transformation of his spirit, recalling the past at this moment, it was a pity.

Back then, he was still a mediocre freshman at the bottom of the class at the Jingyang Academy. He failed the Four Treasures of the Study exam and only had a second-level certificate in formation arithmetic and a first-class certificate in silver tadpole script language.
Because of an accidental opportunity, I joined the Lin Chamber of Commerce and have come to where I am today step by step.

Who would have thought that the young man back then could actually see the scenery above the Nascent Soul stage?

Just as he was secretly sentimentalizing, he heard someone asking in a trembling voice.

"Master, can I do this?"

"Hurry up!"

Lin Shan waved his hand impatiently, and looking at Master Zhan Kong shrinking there, he felt a toothache for no reason.

You're almost buried, why are you still so afraid of death?

Although Ruyu, who was standing next to her, had just made a breakthrough and was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed to regulate her breathing, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"Why are you so fierce, Master? Can you be gentler to the old man?"

Master Zhankong's legs were shaking, his beard was twitching, and his eyes widened when he heard the words!
"That's right, be gentle to me!"

"Okay, okay, don't be afraid, you won't die."

Lin Shan waved his hand and threw all kinds of things like [Ghost King Skeleton], [Wu Du Heart Core], and [Thunder Dragon Treasures] to him.

This old guy was so scared that he set up more than ten large formations for himself!

All the life-long learning was put into use.

This was not enough. He took out more than a dozen defensive magic weapons, fearing that he would be struck to death by lightning. He hesitated for a long time before starting quickly under Lin Shan's urging.

Three days later.

The news that Xun Gu Sect had added four more Nascent Soul cultivators spread throughout the mountain. All the disciples in the sect cheered, and four Nascent Soul ceremonies were held in succession, with the banquet lasting for ten days and ten nights.

This time, a lot of resources were spent in guiding the four people to break through, but it was worth it all in all.

As for the rest of the people, they will have to rely on these people to lead them.

When Lin Shan felt that it was about time, he thought that if he went out, he wouldn't have to worry about thieves robbing the sect, so he left the Lingbao Cave Heaven in Tianfu Mountain.

He left here with Ruyu and Juejuezi, a charlatan who had reached the Jindan stage.

Zhongyu.

Jingyang Academy.

Lin Shan didn't expect that they closed the mountain and shut the doors during the Wanhui period so tightly!

There really is no one coming in or out, it seems completely isolated from the world!
After waiting for a long time, someone finally came out of the formation and invited him in for a chat.

After entering, it suddenly became much more lively inside, with tens of thousands of students coming and going, attending classes and practicing in various parts of the academy, with bright minds shining.

He passed through one building after another and walked into the inner hall, where he found that Patriarch Yingrong was already waiting for him.

"Master Lin, I have received your letter. Please take a seat."

Lin Shan sat down next to her. The man who had led the way bowed and walked out, leaving only the two of them in the hall.

After a brief greeting, the two were already familiar with each other and there was no need to be polite.

"Bingyue has been away for a hundred years and has not returned. Qianjizi has been practicing in seclusion. Only my old bones are supporting the entire Jingyang Academy, so we have no choice but to close the mountain and shut the doors."

Ancestor Yingrong is old, and without any new help, he can only hold on alone.

Lin Shan also felt that it was not easy for her. Jingyang Academy had been able to maintain its status in the State of Lu only by keeping a low profile until now.

However, after a quick calculation with my fingers, it turns out that Sailor Moon has been gone for quite some time.

It's been a hundred years?

"Didn't she send you any information during this time?"

"No."

Patriarch Yingrong shook his head, unable to suppress the worry on his face.

"The only thing that is certain is that she is still alive."

"That's good."

Lin Shan nodded. If Sailor Moon was really in trouble, she would probably try every possible way to seek help from the outside world. It was impossible that Jingyang Academy had no news at all.

"A few years ago, someone came to Jingyang Academy and asked me for Bingyue. I couldn't stop him. Fortunately, Bingyue had already left."

Patriarch Yingrong didn't say who this person was, but Lin Shan could guess that it must be the Lord of Jueyin Palace of the Chanu Palace!

"She comes to my place every once in a while, and is much more diligent than you in asking about Bingyue's news."

What he meant was, Patriarch Yingrong is in Dianlin Mountain, and no outsider cares about you?
"She didn't do anything out of the ordinary."

Lin Shan shook his head. He was really busy. It was already good enough that he could come here out of isolation. He also expected him to come here every day to ask about his well-being. How could he have the time?

The old woman who is the master of Jueyin Palace is still haunting me, but I don’t have the time to take care of her.

"Where is Brother Qianjizi? I remember that fifty years ago, he went to Yulong River to fight against the flood with the ancestors of various major forces. What did they gain?"

"Well, it's okay. I think after he comes out of confinement, he may be able to reach a higher level."

Patriarch Yingrong couldn't help sighing. Although Qianjizi returned safely, the other two Nascent Soul cultivators trained by the Jingyang Academy, Empress Chunmei of the Plum Blossom House and Master Chengqing of the Yangzhi Hall, all died in that battle.
As a result, all the foreign aid of Jingyang Academy was cut off, which was a serious blow to the Academy!
The Confucius and Mencius families, as well as the Bailu Academy, also suffered losses to varying degrees, which shows how fierce the battle was during the Yulong River flood fifty years ago.

As a result, they were unable to take care of the chaos in various parts of Lu State, and they had no power to care about it. In addition, with the arrival of the second wave of spiritual tide, they simply closed the mountain and closed their doors completely!
"You don't need to go to the Kong family. It is said that the Kong family ancestor wants to break through to the realm of the soul after returning. The area within a radius of 300 miles is an absolute restricted area, and no outsiders are allowed to disturb!"

"It seems that the old guy is ready to go all out. I don't know what inspired him or what he got back then."

"It would be best if he could break through to the Yuanshen stage. Our Lu State Confucian School has a great man who is far superior to any other holy place."
