The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 168 Death and End

"You have practiced enough. After obtaining the lightning-struck wood, you were able to refine it in an instant. You have also entrusted the earth soul before. In fact, the biggest bottleneck between the second and third steps of the soul is the spiritual object. With the experience of entrusting the earth soul, it will only take a month at most before you can entrust the sky soul. With two innate spiritual objects to entrust the soul of the soul, after you achieve success, your combat power will definitely far exceed that of your peers. Even if your Taoism has not yet reached perfection, it is incomparable to the soul. At that time, I am afraid that you can fight with immortals with your own cultivation alone." Zhao Sheng said.

"Even if it's as you said, I can only hold on for a moment. There's a huge difference between immortals and mortals. I'll eventually be defeated." Ding Lin said.

"Although he is a star god, his title 'Taurus' is not among the 365 main stars. His cultivation is only at the fairyland. The rules of heaven are strict and the star gods are not allowed to go out without the emperor's order. It is impossible for him to go down to the mortal world in person. At most, he can only send one or two incarnations." Zhao Sheng said.

Ding Lin did not refute. He saw it with his own eyes and naturally knew that what Zhao Sheng said was true.

"This incarnation, refined with the power of a true immortal, is mostly only at the soul level. If this is the case, you can even deal with it on your own." Zhao Sheng continued.

Ding Lin listened quietly. He had not lost his patience yet and was able to continue listening.

“What if the incarnation of our sect also reaches the fairyland…” Zhao Sheng paused, as if taking a breath, “Do you remember the other treasure I mentioned? The Divine Thunderbolt? This item was specially left by my master before he ascended to heaven. It is the foundation of our sect. It is a talisman imprinted with the thunder talisman of my natal star. You only need to know the formula and use the power of your soul to drive it. Once it is used, it will be as fast as lightning and can rival the immortals!”

"Then how did you end up in this situation?"

Ding Lin said that since he had already asked Quexian, he naturally knew what happened - Zhao Sheng's physical body was destroyed by his own thunder talisman.

"How can Wang Chang be compared to an ordinary fairyland? In his hands, I can only do this recklessly. Otherwise, even if I have the thunder talisman in my hand, it will be difficult for my soul to escape."

Zhao Sheng was silent for a moment.

Ding Lin recalled the feeling he had when he saw Wang Chang before. He was not one of those ignorant wild monsters. He had seen many fairylands. The oppressive aura faintly emanating from Wang Chang was not much different from that of the Nine-headed Insect.

"If you don't believe me, I can recite the formula of the thunder talisman to you," Zhao Sheng said again, and then he recited a passage of scriptures. Ding Lin listened attentively. The scripture was not complicated, it was just a method of application. He could even practice the Black Water Sutra, so he could naturally understand it and distinguish the effects. However, if he wanted to comprehend it, it would not be enough to read it in one go. The more he listened, the more familiar he felt. This scripture was actually somewhat similar to the treasure refining formula he got from the sheep demon before, but it was much simpler.

"How?" Zhao Sheng stopped reciting halfway and his voice suddenly stopped. Since Ding Lin did not promise, he naturally would not recite the whole article silently.

It is just as Zhao Sheng said, this thunder talisman will not harm the body if used normally.

"You are right." Ding Lin said.

"So, it seems you have accepted the deal." Zhao Sheng said. Perhaps he himself did not even realize that there was a hint of expectation in his voice. After all, his life was about to come to an end, his soul was unstable, and his emotions were somewhat out of control.

Ding Lin was silent for a while, as if thinking. "Okay, I promise you." Ding Lin said.

"Well, I was able to accomplish this before I died. I have lived up to my master's kindness in teaching me."

Zhao Sheng seemed to be completely relaxed.

"I took these two treasures from the mountain gate, but I was not able to use them myself. I used them for the mountain gate. As for whether you will do it or not, and what happens after your death, I really can't take care of it. I have done my best to hear your promise, and I have nothing to regret."

Zhao Sheng was still saying this. At this point, all his goals had been achieved. His spirit was drained, and his spirit, which had been held up with great effort, could no longer be maintained. The only remaining magic power was swaying.

Without Ding Lin taking any action, Zhao Sheng's soul began to dissipate. Until the last moment of his life, he did not let go and was still trying to cover up the truth.

As the head of Zhengyi Sect, even if Zhao Sheng had never seen Ding Lin, how could he be unaware of the new big monster in Qingcheng Mountain? Not only was he aware of the situation, he even knew how Ding Lin had saved the five fairies before. Based on this, he made arrangements. He first disrupted the mountain gate and drove away the five fairies, and then followed them. He strengthened Ding Lin with the sect's treasure so that he would have the ability to settle the matter and prevent the five fairies from going to the Zhengyi mountain gate again. He also sacrificed himself to preserve the sect and avoid being bullied. Everything was planned and well-structured.

As for Ding Lin not going, or breaking his promise after making it, or taking the treasure but not doing anything, there was nothing he could do about it as he said. However, nothing is perfect, and in such a hurry, this is the best solution he can think of.

And in Zhao Sheng's opinion, the probability of Ding Lin breaking the contract is actually very small. As a great demon, why would he go to save a fairy? How could it be possible that he didn't have any other thoughts? For the demon, this thought was nothing more than making good use of a rare commodity and hoping to use it to seek promotion.

In the previous conversation, the monster did not hide it, and even the Taurus Star Lord knew it. Obviously, the granddaughter had told the monster first, but monsters are cold-hearted and only come for profit. They are not strong enough, so of course they would refuse such an obvious act of seeking death. But now the situation is naturally completely different. After receiving his gift, the monster has the ability, so of course he will not give up the opportunity.

Zhao Sheng knew these monsters among the wild too well. As long as the opportunity arose, they would grab it and never let go.

As for the key points in this, it is expected that the demon from the world would not know. Perhaps he guessed it was wrong, but unlike the Zhengyi sect, the Zhengyi sect has already reached the shore and has a great foundation, so it wants to protect itself. However, he is still in the mud. Although he has some opportunities and a solid foundation, he has exhausted his accumulation to reach this step and cannot last long. If he wants to go further, he must change. In fact, because of his previous accumulation, he is far more fierce than the huge demon. Who would be willing to be mediocre? And the demon in the mountains has nothing to begin with, so why would he care about losing?

Zhao Sheng thought that even if Ding Lin knew the whole story, he would still do it. After all, it was just a matter of taking sides. If he wanted to gain something, he would inevitably lose something.

Wisps of spiritual energy rise from the deep imprint.

The illusory face of Zhao Sheng's soul suddenly turned into a puff of smoke. After working diligently and hard all his life, he finally didn't have to worry about it anymore.
