The stolen magic is a bit magical

"Possession of a primordial spirit?" Lin Xiaosu's heart skipped a beat.

“Yes, the primordial spirit!” the lone serpent said. “In this world, in the Dharma-ending Age, if a Kun Cang Enlightenment Realm cultivator were to emerge, they could roam the world freely. However, none of the Kun Cang Enlightenment Realm cultivators have ever comprehended the primordial spirit.”

Lan Yao's heart pounded.

The primordial spirit exists only in one state: above the realm of enlightenment!
There are three kinds of enlightenment: enlightenment of the body, enlightenment of the spirit, and enlightenment of the rules.

All the enlightenment states in Kuncang are merely enlightenment of the body.

No one has ever stepped into the second level of enlightenment: the God of Enlightenment.

This Hydra Lord possesses a primordial spirit.

No one knows the upper limit of his cultivation, but the lower limit is already the Enlightened God.

This lower limit is two levels higher than the upper limit of this Dharma-ending Age!

"With a primordial spirit, one cannot be killed?" Lan Yao took a deep breath and murmured.

The Lone Serpent said, "Even if the Hidden Dragon were to launch a nuclear bomb and level the Holy Mountain, he still wouldn't be able to be killed, because the primordial spirit cannot be eliminated by physical means. Therefore, even if I cooperate with you, we still cannot kill him, and neither of us can bear his revenge."

Lin Xiaosu laughed: "Lone Serpent, you don't really understand the path of cultivation."

"what for?"

"There is nothing in this world that cannot be eliminated, and the primordial spirit is not unattainable," Lin Xiaosu said. "As long as the right method is used, the primordial spirit can also be destroyed!"

Blue Demon was shocked once again.

The lone snake's eyes were fixed firmly on him: "Use the right method? What method?"

"Bring me to him, and I'll show you with his head!"

The lone snake hesitated slightly...

Lin Xiaosu smiled faintly: "There's no need to figure out how to take me there; the Lord has already given us the best method!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his face changed in a bizarre way.

The next instant, a young man appeared in front of the lone snake.

The lone serpent's pupils dilated noticeably as it stared at the person before it, revealing a shock rarely seen in its life...

Because the person in front of me was none other than Wuguang!
The envoy is without light!

He followed Wu Guang all the way from Xijiang Province; it was the one who launched the fatal attack from the jungle last night.

Wu Guang, the implanted gene is extraordinary, it is not the gene of the species in this world, and it can realize the transformation between the virtual and the real. Therefore, he is almost invisible in the outside world. Only a few people around the Lord know his true appearance.

Even if Lin Xiaosu had been observing from the shadows in the jungle yesterday, she could only have caught a fleeting glimpse of him.

However, at this moment, his transformation spell directly transformed him into his true form, devoid of light.

How incredibly skillful is this transformation technique?

What's even more chilling is that Lin Xiaosu said the next sentence: "Oh, right, I also need to change into his clothes!"

He and Lan Yao went straight out of the cave.

Lin Xiaosu leaped up and landed in a valley below. With a wave of her hand, her palm pierced through the soil, and a corpse rose from her grasp—it was the corpse buried by the Lone Serpent.

The clothes and shoes on the corpse were taken off, washed in the nearby stream, and then shaken to dry without any wind.

Lin Xiaosu changed into it on the spot.

This whole process takes about three minutes.

The entire event was unfolding in front of the Blue Demon and the Lone Serpent.

Their eyes flickered, but they remained silent.

However, everyone understands what it means.

Lin Xiaosu is not usually this arrogant. Today, he is showing off his amazing abilities one by one. His real purpose is to strengthen the confidence of the lone snake!
Lin Xiaosu returned to the lone snake once again.

The lone serpent's gaze fell on the face that was indistinguishable from Wu Guang's, and he let out a long sigh: "Let's go!"

Lin Xiaosu smiled, her gaze falling on Lan Yao...

The sound is transmitted into the secret!

A voice from the blue demon echoed back: "If there's something wrong with Lone Serpent, then you going with him into the dragon's den and tiger's lair will be his best chance!"

"Don't worry!" Lin Xiaosu replied.

Lan Yao gave him a deep look, and then vanished from the spot.

Lin Xiaosu and the Lone Snake moved swiftly and left the forest.

The next moment, the two boarded the high-speed train...

The high-speed rail line extends from the southwest into the central region.

Lin Xiaosu leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes slightly.

The lone snake told him the destination of his journey, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply: there's nothing new under the sun.

The location where the Hydra Lord was situated was, surprisingly, another temple.

This temple is located in the central province of Jiangnan.

Doufang Temple on Doufang Mountain.

Doufang Mountain is a famous scenic mountain.

Doufang Temple is an ancient temple with a history of over a thousand years.

The fact that a scenic area, as the core headquarters of Hydra, a peaceful and secluded place, has become a global criminal organization that commits numerous evils is incredibly incongruous.

However, you have to look at things from two perspectives.

This is a modern society.

Starting an organization is not that easy.

With so many people around, and a bunch of people hanging out together without a proper business, passersby would likely become suspicious, and the police would file a report.

However, there is one temple that is different.

Even if the monks in the temple don't have a proper job, they don't have to worry about food, right?

No matter what monks do in the temple, there is always Buddhist teaching as a reference, so you can't say they are doing nothing.

Understanding and exploring the Dharma are the most important and righteous things to do.

This eliminates the sensitivity surrounding the idea that "a large number of people are gathering together and not doing anything productive."

Scenic areas are crowded and noisy.

Originally, a large number of people and a distraction were considered taboo and sinful. However, from another perspective, can anyone come to this mountain and enter this temple with a legitimate reason?
It's for tourism!
In this way, information transmission and personnel movement are all properly supported.

No wonder Hydra and Utopia both like to use temples as their base, because temples are the best place to hide.

The Hydra Lord was no exception.

He chose Doufang Mountain.

Doufang Mountain, that's quite a charming name.

"A small space can contain Mount Sumeru"—doesn't that perfectly match his style?

Before Lan Yao left, he warned him to be careful of the Lone Serpent!

Yes, this is a responsible reminder. The lone serpent is one who has attained Nirvana.

With his injuries, he was powerless to resist Lin Xiaosu and Lan Yao. But was he really determined to join them?
We can have expectations, but we must not be blindly confident.

If the lone snake harbors ulterior motives, Lin Xiaosu's choice this time is tantamount to offering herself up as a lamb to the slaughter.

Facing a sovereign with a primordial spirit, facing a super expert by the sovereign's side, and entering territory completely controlled by the sovereign, if the Lone Serpent harbors ulterior motives and betrays the Holy Mountain, even if Lin Xiaosu has extraordinary abilities, he can forget about being safe.

Lin Xiaosu had thought about this question before, but after Gu She revealed a secret, he felt at ease.

This secret is the location where the Lord is hiding.

The Venerable One did not become a monk.

He became a hermit.

Hidden behind the Water Curtain Cave in the back mountain...

Jiangnan Province is not far away; it only takes two hours by high-speed rail.

After exiting the high-speed rail station, I took a taxi directly to Doufang Mountain.

There were many vehicles passing by, including tour buses and cars, with people of all ages, from the city to the countryside, and even a group of children on a study tour.

This made it very convenient for them to reach the top of the mountain.

After climbing the mountain, you enter the Buddhist temple, walk through the crowds, and through the Buddha hall. The noise of the crowds gradually decreases, and when you enter the backyard, there are only a few meditation rooms left.

There is a sign here that says "No Entry for Tourists".

Because it is a place where masters meditate.

The lone snake did not stop, nor did Lin Xiaosu.

In the meditation rooms on both sides, several monks looked at them with kind eyes, then bowed their heads and chanted Buddhist prayers.

The two walked through the long bluestone alley until they reached a waterfall.

Beside the waterfall, there are several stone houses.

Inside the stone house, there were also monks practicing meditation.

Upon seeing them, the monk rose and watched them quietly.

Lin Xiaosu spoke up: "Uncle Huita, could you please open the back door?"

His voice was very soft, even extremely soft, as soft as a light mist; this was Wu Guang's standard voice.

“Okay!” Huita stood up and gently tapped the wall with her finger.

The seemingly intact wall trembled slightly, revealing a hidden door.

They entered the hidden door, and the wall behind them trembled slightly before closing again.

All around was completely silent.

Only the sound of dripping water, seemingly coming from nowhere, could be heard.

Their eyes gleamed faintly in the darkness, as they activated their night vision.

The lone snake was in front, and Lin Xiaosu was behind.

His Heavenly Dao Primordial Spirit silently activated, and he saw the end of this passage.

At the end of this passage is behind the waterfall!

The waterfall acts as a curtain, isolating the outside world. However, while inside the waterfall, one can feel the sunlight from outside the cave and also peek into the outside world through the waterfall.

Soon, they passed through the passage in the mountain and found themselves on a platform.

The platform is very rough and undeveloped.

Outside, a waterfall cascades down, while inside the cave it is dark and damp.

The two continued on their way, and the sound of the waterfall gradually faded into the distance as they found themselves deep inside the mountain.

At the end of the passage, there was another door.

It is a wooden door.

The lone snake stretched out its hand and gently pushed.

The scene inside the door appeared before Lin Xiaosu.

This is a dark room, and it's not particularly large.

There was light, coming from a deep crack in the cave wall.

Through the crack, sunlight slanted in, and an old man sat in a grand chair, his back to the cave entrance, the beam of sunlight appearing directly behind his head.

His hair appeared grayish-white in the sunlight.

Behind him was a small pond with several lotus flowers in it. The light and shadow shifted, and the lotus flowers swayed. It must be said that because of this small pond, the dark cave seemed to have a bit more dynamism and the feel of the wilderness.

"Your Excellency!" the lone serpent bowed.

The armchair turned gently, revealing a face.

This is an elderly man who is about sixty years old.

His face was unremarkable, he was dressed in Tang suit, and he had a leisurely demeanor.

His gaze fell on Lin Xiaosu's face, and he smiled slightly: "Lin Xiaosu, welcome to walk into our trap!"

Lin Xiaosu's face was devoid of light at this moment.

It is no different from the darkness of the past.

During the long journey from Doufang Temple to the top-secret Venerable Master Cave, he was subjected to at least dozens of glances, yet no one noticed anything amiss.

However, upon first meeting the Venerable One, the Venerable One smiled faintly at him and uttered these breathtaking words: "Lin Xiaosu, welcome to walk into the trap!"

As soon as those words were spoken, Lin Xiaosu's entire consciousness seemed to be captured in an instant!

He entered a bizarre space, completely detached from his original body.

His hand was raised halfway up, then stopped, and he seemed to become a sculpture.

The lone snake was suddenly jolted.

His gaze suddenly lifted, fixed on Lin Xiaosu beside him.

Lin Xiaosu still had a look of horror on her face.

His eyes were empty.

The muscles in his face seemed stiff, maintaining a dull, almost lifeless facial appearance, reminiscent of Lin Xiaosu.

His heart sank to the bottom.

The Lone Serpent had actually witnessed this bizarre situation before.

This is the Lord's method of capturing the spirit, directly capturing a person's consciousness and separating it from their body, thus turning the person into a living dead.

Under such methods, no matter if you are the Hidden Dragon King, the Hydra King, or a Nirvana Being, your skills are all for naught because you cannot control your consciousness.

"Lone Serpent!" the Lord said calmly, "You killed Wuguang, didn't you?"

The lone snake was ice-cold all over. (End of Chapter)
