Immortal Road.

Lin Shan's face darkened.

What's going on? You want me to go there in person?

"I only know that the specific location is in the land of Jiuli, and Brother Kejizi didn't give me any details."

Li Yuanjie reported it reluctantly. He also sent spies to investigate afterwards, but the area was so large that the situation was unknown.

"No time, let him do what he wants first, I have other things to do."

The previous Black Skull Demon Lord said the same thing. He didn't even see a single person when he went there. He didn't have the leisure to wander around!
However, the name Jiuli Land seems a little familiar.
According to his understanding of the geography of this world, it seems that there is a relatively famous force in the southwest inland, surrounded by mountains.

Wu Dao Sect!
Let’s put Lin Shan aside for now. The most urgent task is to return to Song Dynasty first, and let my subordinates handle these small matters themselves.

I stayed in Jiuyao Peak for half a month.

He mainly helped Li Yuanjie, Xiyin Cave Master, Taoist Zhiyu and other old members of the Demon Sect who followed him to the Nascent Soul stage. He could feel that his wallet was a little insufficient.

As for the spiritual objects that can help you break through the Nascent Soul stage, they are extremely rare core strategic materials no matter which sect you belong to. Even though he had collected quite a few of them before, they could not withstand continuous use. His subordinates would have to make their own way in the future.

After bidding farewell to Luanchun who was reluctant to leave, he stood up and left Chudongnan.

On the way, he simply went into the Star-Swallowing Mountains and visited the human-faced fox tribe among the demon clan. The Mo Ye Ling Chan had not returned yet, and he didn't know what had happened.

After arriving here, I found that there were very few people in the tribe’s residence!
The remaining demons told him that Demon King Qinghe led most of his people, under the order of Venerable Zuowu, to go to the northern part of Swallowing Star to participate in the battle for the Spirit Tide!
Fox Butju, the little fox girl, and the old toad also followed.

Above the demon king in the demon clan is the one who is crowned as the Venerable, and that is the real big demon that can transform his whole body into different shapes.

Venerable Zuowu is an old monster who is said to have lived for eight thousand years and is one of the pillars of support for the demon race in this world!

After hearing this, Lin Shan realized that they had no choice, so he simply asked the old toad to protect the little fox girl. He left a letter and left.

Then head on for the final journey.

The forbidden area on the cliff!

It has been a hundred years since I left, and I don't know if the Demon King Kuihu can hold on. Since I'm passing by the door, I might as well go in and take a look.

The aurora sea is colorful and bizarre.

Countless prisms refracted each other, still beautiful yet deadly dangerous, and the eruption of the spiritual tide caused the aurora to be very active, making it more difficult to enter and exit than before.

Fortunately, Lin Shan is no longer the same person he used to be. He can use the virtual star map to determine the direction, and if he is careful, he will be fine.

But after passing a certain place, his pupils shrank!
This is an old land. Under the brilliant aurora sky, black color permeates the area of ​​100 feet, giving off a strange and ominous aura.

The Hei Xun, who was once transformed by a ghost, has disappeared without a trace!
And a rotten severed palm was left at its original place.

Lin Shan watched quietly without going any closer. According to his memory, Heixun's hands did not look like this.

The owner of this broken palm is not Heixun!
Looking at the smooth and flat surface of its wrist, it seemed as if it had been cut off cleanly and neatly, and the victim survived by suffering the contamination of the severed hand.

He had no idea what had happened here in the past hundred years.

Take a deep breath, cheer yourself up, and avoid this place.

After successfully crossing the Aurora Sea, we arrived at the southwest corner of the Cliff Forbidden Area, where many races gathered together at Leiliangzhu.

The ancestral land of Thunder Bear, once the home of General Bear.

Today, it is the Demon King Territory under the rule of the Thunder Bear Demon King, guarding the southwestern gate of the Aurora Sea and forming an independent entity.

But now the noise is so loud that it can be heard from far away.

Lin Shan activated his pupil technique and looked far away, and discovered that in the magnificent palace, the once mighty and majestic General Bear was now immersed in wine and women, drinking with the monsters, and watching the wrestling, singing and dancing on the stage with his eyes fascinated.

Looking at this bloke with a big belly and drooling mouth, he originally thought of knocking him over as he passed by, but suddenly he felt a little bored.

Forget it, after becoming a demon king, he has become so decadent.

The spiritual tide of the outside world is gushing out, and in the era of great strife, the Star Devouring Demon Clan is fighting with hundreds of meridians, killing people and causing blood to flow like a river! You, on the other hand, are hiding in the forbidden area of ​​the cliff, enjoying music and dancing, and having a decadent and secret love affair. It seems that you have no ambition.

Shaking his head, he simply flew away from here and came to Kuisang Territory.

As the royal court of the overlord of the south, this place is still heavily guarded, deep and quiet.

Fortunately, Lin Shan had the token in his hand and was able to enter easily.

Most of the monsters recognized this human military advisor, and were surprised to see him return. However, as they had not seen him for a long time, they were a little afraid to come up and talk to him, and no monster dared to stop them.

After a while, the demon king Kuihu came upon hearing the news.

"Hahahaha, Military Advisor Lin, you're finally back. I've been waiting anxiously for you!"

Lin Shan responded with a smile, and the two sat down.

After a brief greeting, he asked about the latest situation in the forbidden area on the cliff. It turned out that the Demon King Kuihu had been feeling much more relaxed recently because his mortal enemy, the Demon King Yuanlu, had not caused any trouble for a long time and had been concentrating on seclusion and not caring about worldly affairs.

"The cultivation of the demon race is much slower than that of the human race. It will probably take a long time for Yuanlu to catch up with me. It's not like Military Advisor Lin, who has only been here for a hundred years."

There was a lot of emotion in the tone of the Kuihu Demon King. He felt that Lin Shan was extraordinary back then, even though he was only a junior in the Jindan stage. But he didn't expect that in the present moment, he has already reached the late Yuanying stage and can be on par with himself!
I couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, which must be the mentality of the older generation.

Lin Shan can now clearly see the cultivation level of the Kuihu Demon King, who is at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage. Like the ancestor of the Kong family in Lu State, he is stuck in the Yuanshen stage and cannot make any progress.

This is a ruler. If you cross it, you can fly on the wind and travel into the sky. But this door has stopped countless heroes.

Both of them sighed with emotion, it really seemed like yesterday.

After a while, an old man walked in from outside, with a head full of trembling white hair.

"Reverend Kuisang?"

"Master."

The Kuihu Demon King hurried over to help the old man in. He was clearly a spirit, but he was panting, which made Lin Shan feel strange.

After all these years, the old man finally came back to life after the Demon King Kuihu and he searched the house for sacred soul objects.

"Thank you very much, my friend. If it weren't for you, it would be difficult for this old man to recover his soul."

Venerable Kuisang looked at him with a smile, coughing constantly, as if his soul was insufficient and would dissipate at the slightest disturbance.

Lin Shanlian said he was not worthy of the title.

To be honest, this person was the first Yuanshen stage master he had seen die in this world. Although he was a remnant soul, his strength in crushing the Yuanlu Demon King was still fresh in his memory!
It is worthwhile to learn from this older generation.

Venerable Kuisang had a sharp vision and saw through his current level of cultivation at a glance, and could not help but admire him.

"My young friend, you have two Nascent Souls. Your true essence is unmatched in the Nascent Soul stage. I think you are already good enough to dominate the same level. This is cause for celebration."

"My cultivation level is not good enough to be on the stage." "I can't be wrong in judging people. There are traces of the power of the void in your body, and your soul also has a history of comprehending the void. I think it's a good opportunity. You can be exposed to it in advance in the Nascent Soul stage, which will be of great benefit to your breakthrough to the Soul Stage in the future."

"Senior has a keen eye!"

Lin Shan marveled at the sharp vision of the older generation, and as they chatted, since he was not an outsider, he mentioned that he had drunk the 'insect breeding fluid' of the Void Zerg, as well as the crystallization of the mind of a cultivator in the Yuanshen period.

It is reasonable that the body and the soul have some forward-looking legacy.

However, when talking about the general situation in the outside world, the two people living deep in the forbidden area on the cliff were also very curious and listened to him talk.

Speaking of his inability to participate, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Now that the outside world is experiencing a spiritual tide, holy places of various races are emerging one after another. With my humble cultivation, I am not even a great master. If I really want to participate, I am afraid my life will be in danger."

"Haha, great master, I have seen him in the demon tribe before. At that time, the Zou Wu Master of the Swallowing Star Mountains had already dominated the world before he even had his primordial spirit."

"Oh?"

When Lin Shan and the Kuihu Demon King heard Venerable Kuisang taking over the topic and talking about the past with a smile, they couldn't help but prick up their ears.

"To be a great master, one must have a mature innate spiritual body among humans, and awaken one's true spiritual bloodline among demons. Different paths lead to the same destination. There are such amazing talents in every era."

"The original form of the Venerable Zou Wu is a brown-shoe colt, but he is born with the blood of the True Spirit Zou Yu, so he is advancing all the way with great strides and without any obstacles!"

"When he was in the late Nascent Soul stage, he could command all the tribes in the Star-Swallowing Mountains. No monster dared to provoke him, and no monster would disobey him."

"At a demon race convention, he completely established his reputation and was hailed as one of the most prominent demon race prodigies in this world."

"Later, his soul was further transformed, and his combat power increased dramatically. Even the gods of the human race at the soul stage would have a headache when they saw him!"

"Alas, the youngsters of the past are now powerful and influential, but I am only a remnant of my soul, with only a few years left in my life."

Venerable Kuisang sighed constantly, saying that everything he said was old news.

Judging from his level of seniority, he can really be considered as the elder of Lord Zouwu. After all, the lifespan of plant and wood spirits is not exaggerated.

The true spirit 'Zou Yu' is also very famous in the world of cultivation. According to legend, it has the body of a tiger and the tail of a lion. It does not harm any living thing and is benevolent and auspicious. It is a rare auspicious beast.

Venerable Zuo Wu has the blood of a true spirit, and he also started out as a person with great supernatural powers and progressed step by step to become a primordial spirit. His journey is comparable to that of a legend!

The Kuihu demon king could not help but feel worried:

"Master, Yuanlu also has the blood of the True Spirit and the Regretful Hu. When he reaches the late stage of the Nascent Soul, he will become a person with great magical powers."

"Hard to say."

Venerable Kuisang shook his head, indicating that it was not that easy.

“To fully awaken the True Spirit Bloodline in the Nascent Soul Stage is far more complicated than you can imagine, otherwise there wouldn’t be so few people with great magical powers.”

"The blood of the True Spirit in the lower realm is still very thin, and it is hard to dig out because it is hidden deep inside the body. It needs to be deeply refined and stimulated by treasures with the aura of the True Spirit. Repeated high-intensity physical training is required until a drop of True Spirit blood is forged. Only with the innate magical powers that one has comprehended, can it be fully awakened!"

"The great masters of the demon race have tempered their demon bodies to the strength of great demons in the Yuanshen stage, so that they can crush demon kings in the Yuanying stage!"

"The great masters of the human race can only do this by transforming their innate true essence through the perfection of their innate spiritual bodies, gaining absolute affinity with the vital energy in a certain area, or by upgrading their innate magical powers into great magical powers that can be used in daily life!"

"You can imagine how difficult this is. I also tried for a long time but couldn't figure it out. It's so difficult."

Venerable Kuisang sighed repeatedly and told his disciple not to worry.

Even if the Yuanlu Demon King breaks through to the late Nascent Soul stage, the trend of strength may be reversed, but if he wants to break through the level of Venerable Kuisang and possess the power of a great supernatural being, he still has a long way to go.

It would have been better if he didn't say it, because after he did, the Kuihu Demon King became even more anxious.

Because at least the other person has the blood of a true spirit, and maybe he can become a person with great supernatural powers in the future. But I don’t have such good talents, so I can only wait and watch the other person climb higher step by step.

Until they become pigs and sheep to be slaughtered?
"So, you have to take a long-term view. The path of a great master is suitable for geniuses to overtake others. You just need to prepare to seek the soul."

Venerable Kuisang told them not to aim too high, that ordinary people don't need to walk the path of geniuses, and that walking the path of the soul in an orderly manner is better than anything else.

Demon King Kuihu and Lin Shan looked at each other and smiled bitterly. If it was so easy to break through to the Yuanshen stage, would they still think of taking shortcuts?

"The Wanhui Year is indeed an opportunity, especially this Wanhui Year, which coincides with the last invasion of the alien evil demons. It is the first year of the reincarnation cycle of 128,000 years!"

"The chances of breaking through to the Yuan Shen stage are more than you think, provided you strive for it."

"If you feel that you don't have the ability to get involved and really have no other options, I can write a letter to recommend you to go and train under the Venerable Zou Wu. Perhaps you can get a chance in the spiritual tide."

"After all, I once gave it some pointers."

Venerable Kuisang is indeed an old antique. He has lived long enough and has a wide demon vein. Venerable Zouwu had received his guidance in the past. Logically speaking, with the letter of recommendation, he should definitely receive preferential treatment.

Seeing that the Kuihu Demon King was still hesitating, Lin Shan knew that he was worried about the rapid progress of the Yuanlu Demon King, so he was considering whether to give it a try.

However, he already had some clues and decided to go to the Red Lotus Ancestor to ask the powerful people for methods first, so he politely declined for the time being and thanked Venerable Kuisang for his kindness.

"It doesn't matter. Now the second wave of the spiritual tide has reached the critical period of competition. I guess Venerable Zuo Wu has no time to take care of other things. When he figures it out, I will make arrangements for you after this wave of spiritual tide is over."

Venerable Kuisang coughed twice, and his soul body shook.

Upon seeing this, Lin Shan hurriedly took out the last bit of his soul source and tactfully presented it to Venerable Kuisang.

"Senior, are you okay? I still have a little soul source, you can use it to stabilize your soul first."

"This old man has already received so much help from you, how can you still be so embarrassed?"

Venerable Kuisang declined quickly, thinking that it was not easy for a young man like him, and he couldn't bear to take advantage of him too much.

"Hey~ We're family, don't be polite to me!"

Lin Shan forced it into the hands of the demon king Kuihu, and it was time to put this last bit of energy to use.

If Patriarch Honglian really can't help him become a person with great supernatural powers, then he might have to come back to find Venerable Kuisang. That would at least be a way out, right?

You have to know that in the battle for the spiritual tide during the Wanhui years, all the major holy places have personally stepped out to back up the fight. If you can't be a chess player, then you must step down as a chess piece and compete with others for a chance to reach the Yuanshen period!
But there is a world of difference between being a pawn with a backer and without a backer.

Venerable Kuisang had connections to send himself and the Demon King Kuihu to the service of Venerable Zouwu, which was equivalent to opening a back door for his own people. Venerable Zouwu would more or less take care of them for the sake of being on the same level.

As a human being, you have to leave yourself a way out.

"My friend, you are thoughtful."

The more Venerable Kuisang looked at him, the more he liked him. In comparison, he was much more filial than the useless and traitorous disciple Kuihu Demon King!
