Chapter 849 Falling short of success

They faced the oppressive force of a Daoist level that had never appeared before in this boundless sea of ​​Dao.

Almost in the blink of an eye.

The intense Taoist aura suddenly subsided.

Yue Hanzhang quickly opened his eyes.

At this moment, he activated the Myriad Manifestations Eye to its fullest extent, and the Daoist aura of the external avatar with the Myriad Manifestations Eye as its sole true seal also merged into his pupils.

He was forcing himself to look at the scene before him.

Lin Laogui also demonstrated extremely strong control during the refining process.

The fourth round of True Yang Great Sun fell into the world of form and spirit. In a few short breaths, his Daoist pressure surged into the fourth level of the inner realm and then almost out of control, venturing out in all directions.

But soon.

At the same moment Yue Hanzhang reopened his eyes, Old Ghost Lin regained perfect control over all his Taoist arts.

He himself restrained and contained that blazing radiance, which was like the sun.

Similarly, the inner world, which suddenly expanded again after this Daoist world merged into the inner world of form and spirit, was also able to be restrained and contained!

Suddenly expanding wildly, the inner world almost completely filled the entire physical and spiritual world again. That newly born corner of heaven and earth, under the control of the wildly rising inner world primordial spirit, began to compress and begin to condense the natural scenery to its extreme.

then.

A brand new Yu Yu was born from Lin Laogui's physical and spiritual world, and was open to welcoming new things.

Within a realm that combines the real and the illusory.

Yue Hanzhang watched intently as the fifth round of true yang sun slid down toward the world of form and spirit.

boom--!
The radiant light of the true yang sun once again erupted as this new Daoist landscape merged with the inner landscape of form and spirit.

However, before Yue Hanzhang could fully utilize the combined Daoist principles of his dual pupil techniques to counter the incandescent light, he was caught off guard.

Suddenly, a clear, blood-red radiance burst forth from the core of Lin Laogui's inner world, illuminating all the phenomena of heaven and earth within his inner world of form and spirit.

moment.

The burst of incandescent light was thus suppressed by the crimson glow.

The moment the two merged, Old Ghost Lin demonstrated an overwhelming power of control.

There is no true yang sun before this controlling force.

Or rather, the inner primordial spirit after fusing with that clear source of extraordinary power is the only true yang sun in the entire internal cultivation process!
The Five Heavens of the Inner Realm!
boom--!
The Sixth Heaven of the Inner Realm!
At this moment, Lin Laogui's Taoist aura was undergoing a crazy surge in an extremely stable manner!
It was as if the years and time lost over the past hundreds of millions of years were being made up for in just a few breaths.

Within a realm that combines the real and the illusory.

The seventh round of True Yang Great Sun began to slide down into Lin Laogui's inner world of form and spirit, just like before.

boom--

The explosive sound, which had been shown several times before, as the aura of Daoist cultivation surged, resounded throughout.

Lin Laogui's cultivation level thus leaped from "mid-stage inner realm" to "late-stage inner realm" in an instant.

It was clear that after breaking free from the constraints, only the final stage remained for advancing in one's realm.

Even if it didn't happen to me.

But this moment.

Perhaps even Yue Hanzhang himself did not realize it.

Gazing at everything before him, a joyful smile, as if he had heard the truth, appeared on his face.

But then...

The smile froze on Yue Hanzhang's face.

In a process of progress that is no different from before.

Suddenly, Yue Hanzhang heard a faint, buzzing sound.

Immediately afterwards, the noise continued to emerge.

Click——click——click——

It sounded like some kind of fragmented, broken sound.

And with these sounds...

Visible to the naked eye.

Within the inner world, the inner spirit enveloped in crimson light suddenly began to flicker violently at an almost out-of-control, disordered frequency.

That's not all.

The crimson glow could no longer stop the piercing light of the incandescent beam.

Lin Laogui's control seemed to have lost its effectiveness at this moment.

then.

As the dense, fragmented sounds rang out one after another, suddenly, beams of light broke free from Lin Laogui's form and spirit, dissipating into the world.

Lin Laogui's originally soaring Taoist aura suddenly waned in an instant.

Like a deflated balloon, it plummeted downwards.

However, this vicious cycle could not continue.

The next moment.

The comprehensive and harmonious Daoist foundation that Lin Laogui originally possessed suddenly transformed into a vast array of seal patterns, weaving layer upon layer of complete nets on his physical and spiritual barriers.

The fall of breath came to an abrupt end at this moment.

However, Lin Laogui's leap in realm, which was originally a process that could be accomplished in one fell swoop, also came to an abrupt end at this moment.

Failed.

Yue Hanzhang clearly realized this tragic outcome at that moment.

Old Ghost Lin exhaled a breath of stale air with difficulty.

His body was constantly trembling and spasming in a way that was almost uncontrollable.

When Yue Hanzhang looked over.

Crimson tears of blood were already streaming down his face.

not only that.

Soon, more blood began to seep from his orifices.

That slightly trembling voice was already filled with the air of old age.

“Earlier, I had a strong premonition that my attempt might not succeed.” “Although it’s not right to think like this before the secret method has been verified, I just had this premonition and it has been lingering in my mind.”

"I understand that this premonition is most likely true."

"But I was still determined to embark on this path."

Even... even just looking at the scenery ahead is good...

For the first time, upon hearing someone else's voice, Yue Hanzhang was overcome with grief.

It seemed to be just a minor discord, and even the process of his realm falling was suppressed by Lin Laogui himself using his profound Daoist knowledge.

But this is merely a case of drinking poison to quench thirst.

The collapse of the Daoist arts was already unstoppable. Old Ghost Lin was merely "borrowing lifespan" from his past hundreds or thousands of years, using the foundation of the Daoist arts to artificially delay the process of the collapse of his physical form, spirit, and Daoist arts.

This is the first time.

Yue Hanzhang hoped that someone could have the miracle of being brought back from the dead.

"Senior Lin, the various Lotus Palaces and the Holy Sects all have similar secret techniques. You can temporarily remove your physical body with a strand of your divine soul."

"If we use the secret method of resurrection to guide him, he might be able to live another life!"

When asked about classical Chinese, Old Ghost Lin simply shook his head calmly.

"If the boundary between life and death is so easy to cross, then exploring the path ahead becomes a costless endeavor."

"There's no hope..."

"The Inner Realm of Dao Lord is unlike any other realm in the past. The origins of form, spirit, and Daoist methods merge with each other in this realm, forming the Inner Realm World and the Dao Lord's Domain."

"Therefore, the collapse of merit and achievement is the collapse of both body and spirit."

"There is no longer any concept of a soul or spirit; it has long been integrated into the origin of form, spirit, and Daoist practices."

“Apart from the miracles that one has mastered through one’s own path.”

"There is no external secret technique that can change my life and reverse the boundary between life and death."

"You should understand this principle."

"There's no need to do anything pointless."

talking.

Old Ghost Lin looked up, staring blankly into the void, as if recalling something, or as if he were looking into the eyes of someone who did not exist.

next moment.

The aged expression on Lin Laogui's face faded slightly, and his eyes gradually regained some of their sparkle.

"You and I have made today's situation possible together."

"I have already said that."

"If we fail today, I will be the one to lead the king's vanguard!"

"I don't have much time left, and there are some insights I need to share with you at crucial moments."

Upon hearing this, Yue Hanzhang nodded, deeply moved.

"I will certainly remember this!"

Old Ghost Lin shakily raised his hand and wiped the blood from his face.

"Although I failed, the theory of ballast is on the right track!"

"My ability to break through all the way to the seventh level of the Inner Realm is proof enough!"

"It's just that there were problems with many details."

"Relying solely on pure extraordinary power sources to strengthen the inner spiritual realm is not enough!"

"It's not that the source of the extraordinary power is bad."

"Instead, when that clear energy merges into the inner vision of the primordial spirit, it exists in the form of perfect blood and qi, and the origin of form and spirit."

"Even if I have hundreds of thousands of years of Taoist cultivation, I am still no match for the source of extraordinary power..."

"There is ultimately an imbalance between the physical form and the Daoist principles within the inner vision and primordial spirit!"

"I managed to maintain a semblance of balance for a while, but under the shock of breaking through to the late stage of the inner realm, the imbalance finally broke out, completely causing me to lose control of the inner realm world."

"If you are preparing for the road ahead, you must start working on this matter early!"

"Or, accumulate a more profound foundation in Taoist magic."

"Or, we could try to sever the source of the extraordinary power! This isn't impossible; it was originally a single entity that was shattered into a shower of blood!"

"Moreover, ideally, a pivotal element that can dynamically adjust the balance between the two should be integrated. This pivotal element should ideally have a close connection with one's own physical form, spirit, and Daoist methods, and possess the qualities of comprehensiveness and harmony!"

At this point...

Old Ghost Lin even tore apart the inscription pattern net he had constructed, allowing Yue Hanzhang to take another close look at his current inner world.

Amidst the storm of collapse.

At this moment, the inner primordial spirit was like a blood jade sculpture, suspended in the storm vortex. It was a manifestation of blood and qi almost solidifying into a substance, but the blood jade had almost no luster, and no spiritual light emerged at all.

This is a manifestation of the Daoist aura being suppressed to its limit.

The imbalance has reached a point where it is out of control.

When Lin Laogui repaired the seal pattern net again...

His face was so pale that it was completely bloodless.

Along with that, his voice, from that moment on, truly became filled with a sense of decay, old and hoarse.

"Furthermore, the form of the breakthrough is also of paramount importance!"

"Don't rush into a breakthrough. Wait until you've reached the third level of the Inner Realm before seeking a breakthrough to a higher level!"

"This path must be taken swiftly and decisively after thorough preparation!"

"I have stayed in the third level of the inner realm for hundreds of thousands of years. With each additional moment I stay, the origin and foundation of that inner realm world are being rapidly enhanced under my cultivation and the nurturing of time."

"It and the subsequent six Dao Realm Worlds are no longer as harmonious and identical in importance as they were in the past!"

"The passage of time has created the greatest discord between them!"

"With each additional Dao Realm world refined, this disharmony accumulates one more point..."

"I was so caught up in the exhilaration of the breakthrough that I forgot all about these things."

"Otherwise, the mere transformation of my inner spiritual essence into jade wouldn't be enough to kill me..."
