My skills have mutated again!

Chapter 298 Building Momentum and Leveraging Opportunities, Xia Lin Seizes Fortune, All Ready!

The practical value of possessing the Six Armor Heavenly Soldiers is actually not high.

This skill isn't at the level of racial foundation; it would be perfectly fine to use it on a weak person—like Wang Xiaorou, who is at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

But it wouldn't be effective against stronger opponents.

—Unless a strong individual actively seeks to benefit from the skill's effects.

Therefore, when Xia Lin acquired the skill, he ruled out using it as a means of fighting enemies.

In Xia Lin's hands, this skill became used for:

First, he disgusts Lin Fan and disrupts the plot.

Second, leverage your own strengths.

Even before NO.259 and Xu Haonan arrived at the Watchtower, Wang Dao and Ping Cai'er had already made their decision.

"We still hope to have a child."

Ping Cai'er looked shy and bashful, like a young woman who was tens of thousands of years old.

Wang Dao seemed to have also resolved his inner conflict, and nodded to Xia Lin with a normal expression.

Xia Lin then smiled.

"It's just a little effort."

As he spoke, Xia Lin tossed a pregnant celestial soldier onto Ping Cai'er.

Ping Cai'er offered no resistance and accepted it calmly.

Just as the skill took effect, the two Golden Immortals sensed it.

They looked curiously at Ping Cai'er's lower abdomen and could clearly sense a newborn soul being born in her womb.

"His spirit is extraordinary; he's a genius!"

These two are far more knowledgeable than Master Baiyun.

Even setting aside his potential to become an emperor, he is still a genius, a once-in-a-century talent.

Suddenly, a surge of divine power appeared. It was Ping Cai'er using her divine power to nourish the fetus in her womb. This not only provided a layer of safety but also promoted a rapid increase in the fetus's potential.

Xia Lin smiled and said, "This child must have been born with a heavenly spiritual root, enough to inherit the mantle of the two."

Offspring are not only the continuation of bloodlines, but also the most important aspect of inheritance.

Ping Cai'er was overjoyed to become a mother for the first time, but Wang Dao sighed.

He thought of Black Star.

I wonder if Black Star will provide a safe environment for the unborn child to grow up in.

Just as Wang Dao was worrying about this unfounded worry, Xia Lin suddenly cupped his hands and said again.

"But there are still two requests I cannot make."

Once Xia Lin, the Goddess of Fertility, spoke, it became clear that Wang Dao and Ping Cai'er were by no means heartless scumbags.

The two cupped their hands in unison and said, "Fellow Daoist, please speak freely."

Instead of calling someone their junior disciple, call them fellow Daoist...

Having six Heavenly Soldiers within its ranks, it must be used to build relationships!

Xia Lin decisively made a cut.

"Firstly, I have a wish. This wish is to fulfill the wish of all those who want to be parents but cannot have children. I would like to implore you two to quietly spread this ability of mine to those who are interested."

Wang Dao patted his chest.

"That's easy!"

As a member of the army of people seeking children, Wang Dao knows many spiritual practitioners who have this request.

Xia Lin's current move is to expand his network and leverage existing influence!

"And secondly..."

When asked about the second point, Xia Lin's face showed a troubled expression.

It wasn't until Wang Dao and Ping Cai'er took the initiative to ask that Xia Lin hesitated before speaking.

"I have some enemies, who are powerful extraterrestrial demons. They will probably come looking for me soon."

Wang Dao raised an eyebrow: "How strong?"

Xia Lin smiled wryly, "I'm not much different from the two of you..."

NO.259 can't defeat an eleventh-level celestial being, but defeating a tenth-level golden immortal should be no problem.

This made Wang Dao frown even more.

"Fellow Daoist is a esteemed disciple of the Xuantian Sect. If you have such a formidable enemy, why not hide within the Xuantian Sect to ensure your safety?"

Xia Lin didn't need to make up an excuse; Ping Cai'er, who was standing to the side, had already covered for him.

"We can't just hide inside the sect forever and never come out, can we?"

Xia Lin nodded in agreement, then cupped his hands and said, "Actually, the reason I approached you two this time was because of my own little scheme. I wanted to use your help to get rid of this major threat."

Golden Immortals live as long as Heaven and Earth, and each one is an exceptionally intelligent being.

Lying to them is pointless and will only backfire.

At this moment, Xia Lin was open and honest, and with the favorability bonus provided by the Five Elements Wheel, as well as the grace of giving a child, he gave Wang Dao and Ping Cai'er the feeling of being a gentleman.

Wang Dao remained silent, only stroking his beard and nodding: "Then why don't you stay here with me for a while? If your enemies come knocking, I will certainly take action!"

Xia Lin added, "We still need to spread the news that I am carrying a Heavenly Soldier with six pregnancies first."

"To deal with my biggest threat, the more helpers the better."

……

Just as Xia Lin was talking to Wang Daoping and Cai'er, Xu Haonan and NO.259 had already arrived in front of the Watchtower with their men.

Amidst the clouds, pavilions stand tall, their ethereal light creating a truly otherworldly atmosphere.

Xu Haonan stopped in the distance from the Watchtower.

The Soul-Chasing Eye clearly pinpointed Xia Lin's location—within the Watchtower.

However, the aura of those two Golden Immortals was so overwhelming that it made people hesitate to approach.

"This is troublesome."

I turned to look at NO.259.

It remains strong and powerful, but whether it can overwhelm two Golden Immortals is highly unlikely.

Moreover, Xu Haonan also had to consider this problem: what if they fought with the Watchtower and Xiao Feng, Bao Bowen and others stole peaches from the rear again?
That's where the trouble lies.

To deal with Xia Lin's problem, he also had to consider Bao Bowen and Xiao Feng's issues.

Let's ignore Xia Lin; she's got a knack for creating drama.

Xu Haonan was caught in a dilemma.

He quickly exhaled a deep breath.

"We'll just have to wait for now."

"Xia Lin has no relation to the Watchtower, I refuse to believe he can hide there forever!"

Xu Haonan was unaware of the effects of possessing the Six Heavenly Soldiers.

Naturally, no one could imagine the immense advantage this skill would bring to Xia Lin.

……

Xu Haonan's decision was not unexpected by Xia Lin.

Given the current situation, he has no choice but to leave, wait, or fight.

Let's go, consider him to have escaped a disaster.

Xia Lin wasn't afraid of being hit.

The Guardian Pavilion was there to guard against this – with the combined strength of two Golden Immortals, Xia Lin was not afraid of the combination of NO.259 and Xu Haonan.

Waiting is also reasonable.

After all, Xu Haonan still had to consider Bao Bowen's situation.

"But if you wait like this, you might miss your chance..."

The king's actions were extremely swift.

That very night, five immortals, who were trapped without offspring or successors, quietly came to our door.

They came discreetly, because it wouldn't sound good if word got out.

Among them are one Golden Immortal, three Immortal Lords, and one True Immortal.

It wasn't just women; there was also an old Taoist priest with a white beard who wanted to have a child...

This left Xia Lin completely bewildered, thinking to himself, "The atmosphere in your cultivation world is truly quite open."

But the old Taoist priest also had something to say about this.

I've already become an immortal, why should I care about the difference between men and women?

Xia Lin: Bro, you're absolutely right.

Five heavenly soldiers carrying six pregnancies descended, and the reinforcements increased by five more.

With the current lineup, Xia Lin is fully capable of turning the tables on Xu Haonan and his group.

But Xia Lin said there was no rush.

The advantage lies with him, and so does the timing.

If used properly, this ability to possess six heavenly soldiers will provide advantages that far exceed anyone's imagination!

That very night, the goddess appeared in his dream.

Xia Lin finally met the person he had been waiting for the most.

Qu Yiyi, the sect leader of the Charming Demon Sect, one of the eight native level eleven cultivators, and a level eleven Celestial Immortal.

She is also one of the female protagonists in the later part of the Legend of the Immortals!

……

The scenes in dreams are illusory and ethereal, dreamlike and hazy, and one can easily distinguish between illusion and reality.

In this dream, Xia Lin found herself in a room that had been artificially transformed into a boudoir. There, she saw the female protagonist of the story, Qu Yiyi.

Despite being tens of thousands of years old, she dressed like a young girl... Of course, her appearance and temperament were impeccable. Her eyes and brows possessed both the liveliness of a young girl and the dignity of a woman. In short, she was quite charming.

Upon meeting her in his dream, Xia Lin immediately cupped his hands in greeting: "Greetings, Miss Qu."

She's clearly a celestial being, yet she always prefers to be called "Miss"...

This is one of the female lead's little quirks.

Qu Yiyi covered her mouth and smiled, looking Xia Lin up and down, her eyes lighting up.

The Five Elements Wheel's favorability bonus applies regardless of whether the element is good or evil.

Xia Lin also has a handsome appearance.

"It seems that you are not surprised by my visit, young master?"

Xia Lin nodded: "Of course it's not surprising. After all, Miss Qu is incredibly powerful, and I also possess the ability that the Demonic Maiden Sect desires most."

Yes, the skill of possessing the Six Heavenly Soldiers is most suitable for the Charming Maiden Demon Sect, one of the two great demonic sects!
This sect has few disciples, but each generation has had celestial immortals or even celestial kings presiding over it!

One of the key reasons is that the sect's most powerful technique, the "Charming Maiden Yin Yang Scripture," is extremely strong, and there is even a slight possibility that it can reach the level of a twelfth-level Immortal Venerable!
However, there is a prerequisite for practicing the Yin-Yang Sutra of the Maiden – one must be a child without roots.

What is a rootless child?

It refers to children who are born without a father or mother, or who are born through normal human relationships.

Then some people ask: How can you have a baby if you don't use this method?

You know what, cultivating immortality is really awesome, and there really are ways to do it.

Have you ever heard of the Zimu River?
Drinking one ladle of this will guarantee pregnancy, drinking two ladles will result in twins (a boy and a girl).

In ancient times, the Zimu River never ceased to flow, which was also the time when the Charming Demon Sect was at its most powerful!
However, with the Zimu River drying up and the channel gone, the Charming Demon Sect barely managed to maintain its dignity by relying on the Zimu River water stored by the sect, but its decline was already evident.

—Apart from Qu Yiyi, there is no other person in the Charming Maiden Demon Sect who can cultivate the Charming Maiden Yin Yang Scripture!
After acquiring the skill of "Possessing Six Heavenly Soldiers," Xia Lin almost burst out laughing not because the skill could cause trouble, but because it perfectly matched the Charming Demon Sect and the female protagonist of the story!
At that time, Xia Lin had already joined the Xuan Tian Sect, and as a righteous person, it was not appropriate for him to take the initiative to seek out the Charming Maiden Demon Sect. But now that the Charming Maiden Demon Sect had heard the news and taken the initiative to contact Xia Lin, there's more to this story.

Qu Yiyi is a smart person.

Without Xia Lin saying anything more, she realized that Xia Lin had guessed her intentions and did not resist them.

As the number one female demon of the world, Qu Yiyi was decisive and resolute.

She smiled sweetly: "Then you'll be the father of my child..."

Xia Lin: "???"

"I wouldn't dare... My skill is indeed suitable for Miss Qu's Yin-Yang Sutra, thus proving that I am not the child's biological father..."

However, before Xia Lin could finish his argument, Qu Yiyi had already appeared in front of Xia Lin and placed her slender finger on Xia Lin's lips.

"Shh~~Shh~~"

Her smile was radiant and captivating.

Xia Lin admitted that his heart skipped a beat at that moment. The Yin-Yang Sutra of the Charming Maiden had an extremely strong alluring effect, and Xia Lin admitted that he truly couldn't withstand the attack of an eleventh-level Celestial Immortal.

Fortunately, Qu Yiyi is a decent person.

He used a few tricks, but didn't do anything more outrageous.

The two stopped discussing the topic of biological parents. Xia Lin took a deep breath to calm herself down and spoke again.

"I have another matter I would like to ask Miss Qu."

Qu Yiyi rested her chin on her hand and nodded with a smile.

"You said."

"I would like to borrow the Kuntian Mirror."

The Kuntian Mirror is Qu Yiyi's natal magic weapon!

This made Qu Yiyi frown, and then Xia Lin said again, "There is no need to lend me your power. Just ask Miss Qu to use the power of the Kuntian Mirror when I need it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qu Yiyi covered her mouth and laughed.

"So I'll have to keep a close eye on you all the time? Look, you said you didn't want to be the father of my child... but you're clearly craving it like crazy..."

A fragrant breeze wafts through the air, and the pink hues are enchanting.

Xia Lin was completely stunned, as if she had lost her sense of time and self.

I am in a daze, unaware of the moon.

When Xia Lin opened her eyes again, the dream had collapsed, and only Qu Yiyi's voice faintly lingered in her ears.

"I agree to the matter of the Kuntian Mirror."

“Child, I’ve taken it too.”

The sound drifted away, and Xia Lin sniffed his collar, then sighed wistfully.

It has no fragrance.

Big loss.

……

Gains and losses.

Spring dreams leave no trace, perhaps nothing ever happened at all.

But his connection with Qu Yiyi was clearly established.

The most obvious benefit of this is the progress of the mission: Deceiving the Heavens and Crossing the Sea!

It has increased from the original 11.2% to 18.4%!

That's right.

The "Deceive the Heavens to Cross the Sea" mission can be understood as a kind of luck-stealing spree.

Steal the protagonist Lin Fan's fate!
Xia Lin approached the issue from two aspects.

First, to disrupt the storyline; second, to seize Lin Fan's opportunities and connections.

The female lead is of utmost importance!

As for Zhong Ling, Xia Lin has only just begun his campaign, and it's not yet reflected in the progress of the Luck-Seizing event.

But this Qu Yiyi is very direct.

She directly asked Xia Lin to "borrow" her seed, and perhaps because of some connection to the Five Elements Reincarnation, she played a joke on Xia Lin—whether it was true or not—saying that Xia Lin was the father of her child…

Looking at the growth rate of the progress in seizing the fortune, Xia Lin suddenly raised an eyebrow.

"You can't really expect me to take it out, can you?"

Maybe...

But Xia Lin stopped daydreaming.

Recalling the effects of the Kuntian Mirror in the original story.

The huge weight on Xia Lin's heart was finally lifted.

The entire plan has now been completed.

"And what will happen next... I don't even know myself..."

In the bedroom at night, Xia Lin murmured softly, a slight smile playing on her lips.

It was the strange laugh of someone who was there to watch the spectacle.

……

everything's ready.

Xia Lin was even afraid that Xu Haonan would run away, so she went to find Wang Dao and the others early the next morning.

“My enemy has already appeared outside the Watchtower. This time, I intend to take the initiative and eliminate the threat forever. I hope that you elders will lend me a hand.”

Xia Lin was very humble and spoke sincerely.

With the bonus to favorability and the blessing of a child in hand, the immortals, led by Wang Daoping, Cai'er, and another Golden Immortal, responded one after another.

Furthermore, righteous individuals loudly proclaimed: "The extraterrestrial demons deserve to be slain by all!"

Luckily, I managed to get the "Deceive the Heavens" reward item beforehand...

Otherwise, Xia Lin really wouldn't know how to deal with Qu Yiyi, this level eleven female demon—but considering her strange temperament, she probably wouldn't care too much about Xia Lin's identity as an extraterrestrial demon.

Of course, the current situation is undoubtedly better.

Xia Lin also knew the locations of Xu Haonan and the others.

Xing Fanwu and the Clown were responsible for gathering intelligence outside the Watchtower.

Due to their limited strength, the two were unable to pinpoint the exact location of NO.259 and Xu Haonan, but they could still determine their approximate location.

Streaks of light flew out from the Watchtower and in the blink of an eye, they arrived above a desolate wilderness hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.

In the sky, Wang Dao unleashed his Golden Immortal consciousness, followed by a cold snort.

Amidst the fluctuations of immortal power, a massive seal descended from the sky.

The surge of immortal power crushed space, breaking the spatial array that Xu Haonan had set up here!

……

Even before Wang Dao made his move, Xu Haonan realized that something was wrong.

He was unaware of the effects of possessing the Six Heavenly Soldiers, underestimated the desire of the Wang couple for offspring, and therefore underestimated the power that Xia Lin could leverage!

Think about it, it's already quite strange that a demon from beyond the realm could join the Xuan Tian Sect, but now you can even mobilize Golden Immortals to fight enemies... Where can Xu Haonan go to reason with this?

However, since things had come to this point, Lao Xu was a smart man. He temporarily disregarded Xia Lin's actions and immediately found a solution to the situation.

A solution that appears to be optimal.

—Let NO.259 deal with the enemy, while we and the others hide and leave.

On the surface, NO.259 is an extraterrestrial demon, while Xu Haonan and other immortal cultivators from the Ash Zone have joined the Seeking Dao Sect and are disciples of the Seeking Dao Sect.

Disciples of the immortal sects are forbidden from openly having relations with extraterrestrial demons; if discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable.

NO.259's strength also ensures that it will not die even when facing multiple Golden Immortals.

Not only will he not die... he might even win the battle!

There's no way around it, this person's strength is truly heaven-defying.

Just as Wang Dao made his move.

A powerful figure, exuding a violent aura, has broken free from the spatial interlayer!

Bend over, pull back your arm, and deliver a powerful punch!
A powerful punch compressed the space, forming a solidified fist imprint, which slammed down on the seal-shaped celestial treasure.

There was a "boom".

The fist imprint clashed with the Golden Immortal's treasure, causing the heavens and earth to collapse and split.

Amidst the swirling dust, Xu Haonan and his entourage had already slipped away and disappeared.

……

Just after Xu Haonan had flown far away from the battlefield, he suddenly stopped.

The surrounding area was shrouded in mist, making everything seem unreal.

This made Xu Haonan take a deep breath, and then let out a cold snort.

"Divide and conquer is a trivial tactic."

This fog is the fog of war, the work of Xing Fanwu.

With Xing Fanwu appearing, Xia Lin and the Clown were naturally not far behind.

With Lao Xu's clever mind, he quickly figured out the cause and effect of the whole situation.

"I don't know what method you used to get a Golden Immortal to deal with NO.259."

"And my reaction was indeed quite predictable... I couldn't openly team up with NO.259. Therefore, in this round, I could only leave NO.259 behind and get out as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Xu Haonan and his men took out various magical treasures from their personal storage space.

The banners were laid out, and a mystical light shimmered around them.

Xu Haonan continued, "Then you use your Golden Immortal power to block NO.259, and then combine the power of the three of you to try to find a breakthrough from me."

"But your strategy of dividing and attacking is meaningless in front of me."

"The key lies in strength... The three of you are outnumbered and outmatched, and Bao Bowen and Xiao Feng are even further away... What can the three of you do to me?"

Looking at Xu Haonan's side, the human race sequence is 43, the spirit race sequence is 82, the five elements race sequence is 49, and the demon race sequence is 76...

And Xu Haonan himself, human race sequence 87!

Even disregarding NO.259, this lineup far surpasses Xia Lin and his two companions!
It's no wonder that Lin Fan and Xu Haonan looked down on Xia Lin and his trio before.

Three near-sequences were really too weak in this game.

"Besides, I bet you, Xia Lin, wouldn't dare to assemble the natives of the Ash District to attack us."

The Xundao Sect is renowned, and with Xu Haonan as a disciple of the Xundao Sect, who would dare to offend him?
The clown and Xingfanwu are two.

Just as Xu Haonan couldn't fight alongside NO.259, Xia Lin, as a disciple of the Xuantian Sect, couldn't openly join forces with the two extraterrestrial demons, Xiaochou and Xing Fanwu.

In an instant, his mind cleared, and Xu Haonan let out a cold laugh.

"That's it?! I think you're hopeless!"

"No... I have plenty of work to do. And this is specially prepared for you..."

Xia Lin's voice suddenly rang out.

Along with it, there was also a constantly shifting light of skill energy!
Random combination!

The randomly combined beams of light pierced through the defenses and instantly entered Xu Haonan's body.

As a human sequence number 87, Xu Haonan is only a low-order sequence and has not triggered the third law weighting.

Therefore, random combinations work perfectly!
However, Xu Haonan, who was hit with a random combination, was not flustered at all.

"Change it, change whatever you want!"

"You can take any of these skills I have if you want."

Old Xu said, "I make a living with my brain. My skill set is not weak, and I feel bad if I lose it, but it's not fatal."

As long as I help Lin Xiantian resolve this situation, and also take Xia Lin's bounty, I can make up for any losses tenfold or a hundredfold!
Besides, my teammates are all around me. Even if my skills are wiped out, I still have the ability to protect myself.

Xia Lin, are you out of your mind to use random combinations against me?
However, in the next second, Xu Haonan's mind went blank, and his brain momentarily went offline...

Shrimp Bro, get going!
……

Xia Lin's random pairing was aimed at Xu Haonan and Er Ying.

At the same time, Xia Lin did not activate the "Deceitful Fate" technique.

The ability to defy fate has only two uses left, so it's best to keep this trump card in reserve.

Not to mention using E'ying as the target to exchange skills, Xia Lin doesn't seek to obtain Xu Haonan's core skills, but only to exchange the skills on E'ying's body.

The probability of 3 players exchanging for 9 is not small!
[You lost your skill: King of the Squid, makes a grand entrance, and then...]

The five signs of decay in the celestial beings have not been replaced.

But it's not a big problem.

[You have acquired the skills: One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones (Racial Foundation Level), Soul-Chasing Heavenly Eye (Racial Foundation Level).]

【Soul-Chasing Heavenly Eye (Racial Foundation Level): Omitted...】

【One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones (Racial Foundation Level): Active skill, exclusive to cultivators. Consumes the Qi of the Three Pure Ones and eighteen other rare and precious materials to refine three pure avatars…】

Xia Lin glanced at it briefly and then stopped looking!
The skills exclusive to the Immortal Path are powerful, but they are completely useless to Xia Lin—because they involve rare and precious materials from the Immortal Path, which are time-consuming and laborious for Xia Lin to collect.

[Unstable mutation activated!]

Another scan revealed no positive mutations.

Admittedly, without defying fate, the current unstable mutations are not something to look forward to...

I simply sold both skills and got a total of 9 evolution points.

Xia Lin, hidden deep within the fog of war, unleashes another burst of skill light!
Randomize the release stream, start!
