Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 259 The Tragedy of Ling Mountain
[Eyeless] spent many years honing his skills on the [Clock of Time] before finally winning the great battle against [Wuzhen] and completely incorporating it into his own magical power accumulation.

From then on, he gathered all the resources of nine generations of Ling Shanzi and was able to advance to the Shixu rank, becoming the second Zheng Yi rank being in the Yanfu Dao.

For him, the hardships and dangers involved were beyond the comprehension of outsiders.

In terms of sheer excitement, it's in no way inferior to the war between the two worlds!

After this ordeal, [No Eyes] has officially taken his seat at the table of [The Struggle of Time], ready to pick up his pen and make his moves!

Unfortunately, the being he was plotting against possessed far greater strength and resources than himself. He couldn't possibly defeat them on his own, so he had to seek help from others.

Among his closest associates, Yan Fuzi, he directly approached Gui Mao. The others had fallen behind in cultivation and could not participate in his next plan.

When he handed over his plan to Ghost Hair, he quickly gained the other party's approval.

However, it was unexpected for [Guimao] to bring in Meiqian.

He had personally witnessed the rise of these promising young talents, and he himself had even acted as an angel investor, repeatedly investing in and increasing his stake, reaping substantial returns.

[Blind] Admits to being poor but exceptionally talented, possessing an incredibly promising future, even stronger than himself.

However, what he is about to do is a high-level game that can only be entered by those who are "of time", "of the past", or even "transcendence".

Even with the highest talent, without money, one's cultivation level is only at the upper third rank, making one nothing more than a small roadside stall.

He didn't understand why [Ghost Hair] insisted on bringing in someone who had no money.

However, he did not question Gui Mao's judgment, and he maintained considerable respect for the current number one person in Yanfu Dao.

Meanwhile, [Ghost Hair] sent a message directly to his largest trading partner, stating that [Eyeless] had already left the border and had important matters to discuss.

Jing Qian, who was honing his cultivation in the [Sumeru] dimension, immediately left his seclusion upon hearing this and headed straight for the [Yamfu Nursery].

He loved working with the "Blind" boss the most; the two were very compatible, and all their business deals were extremely profitable, with no losses ever occurring.

[No Eyes] When something happens, he assumes that he has another stroke of good fortune, that the top player is about to launch a big rocket again, or that a main NPC has released a new DLC, so he runs faster than a rabbit!

After many years, the two powerful [Yanfuzi], the Lord of Corn Spirits, met again. The one-eyed man faced off against the three-eyed man, and almost broke through his defenses!
[No Eyes] Staring at his only large eyeball, his gaze flickered, his emotions running high.

He couldn't help but take out his eyeglass case, unsure whether to open it or close it.

Immediately, he roared angrily:
"You penniless thief!"

"Where did you get the Eye of the Dao Ancestor?"

But then they saw a huge, diamond-like eye between Jing Qian's brows, flashing with violent magical light!
If [No Eye] is not mistaken, this is clearly the eye of the [Dao Ancestor] that he has been dreaming of!
It is a top-tier spiritual mechanism of the "Transcendent" level, which can be called the prototype of "Divine Mechanism".

[No Eyes] He has spent his whole life refining his eyeballs. Since he entered the Dao, the eyeballs of the enemies he has killed have been treated separately.

In the field you care about most and are most skilled at, being easily surpassed by your juniors as if it were child's play, who wouldn't be devastated?
Opposite him, Jing Qian, with the fully integrated [All-Knowing Eye (Holy)] and finally transformed [Growth Ring Eye], smiled at [Eyeless].

[Divine Machine: Eye of the Age Rings (Fragment)]

Of the nine [Sword Dao Spiritual Insights], two have already advanced to the [Transcendence] rank!
This brings us one step closer to breaking through the barrier of [Pure Yang] and ascending to [Time Sequence].

The newly promoted [Eye of the Age Rings] had an exaggeratedly large increase in power, which Jing Qian was unable to suppress for a time, resulting in the chaotic flow of magical energy.

At this moment, he was fully activating the bloodline power of the [Pangu Body], attempting to fuse with and suppress the power of the [Eye of the Age Rings].

After this period of exploration, he has found that the [Pangu Bloodline] is of sufficient caliber. As long as he continues to infuse it with mana, he will eventually be able to perfectly fuse with this [Transcendence] Eye.

The numerous improvements brought about by the advancement of the Divine Eye are still slowly manifesting, and he is eagerly awaiting them.

Faced with the question mark from "No Eyes," he laughed and said:
“Master, I obtained a divine eye of the [Transcendence] level. I used it as material to reforge my [Pure Yang Golden Eye], which allowed me to advance.”

"I was just lucky, I can't compare to you, Master."

There's no way to break through their defenses without them having eyes.

His ninth incarnation as [Ling Shan Zi] was a cheat code, and his ability to successfully join the [Kong Xiang Hui] and come into contact with the [Totem] was incomparable to Jing Qian's power, to the point that no amount of hard work could bridge this gap.

Jing Qian didn't hide anything and continued:
"This disciple obtained this [Transcendence] Divine Eye entirely through the exchange of [Immortal Remains Jade]. If Ancestor could provide me with enough [Immortal Remains Jade], I should be able to exchange it for an [Transcendence] Eye for you as well."

Upon hearing this, [No Eyes]'s eyes lit up, and he nodded.

A divine eye of the [Transcendent] level is far too important to his system! It's completely different from not having money; he absolutely must try to get one.

However, he had more important things to say at the moment, so he put that aside for now.

He then spoke:
"You may not have money, but since you have this [Transcendence] Divine Eye, you can participate in my next plan. I'll explain it to you in detail."

"As you probably already know, I am the reincarnation of the ninth incarnation of Ling Shanzi."

"Right now, I have also integrated the magical power origin of [Ling Shanzi] Wuzhen, so it is not an exaggeration to say that I am the contemporary [Ling Shanzi]."

"The lineage of the Lingshan Temple is different. The so-called successor of Lingshanzi is essentially a human stake prepared by the original Lingshan Tathagata for himself."

"The 'Lingshan Great Master's Destiny Sutra' transmitted by the 'Lingshan Tathagata' has long been implanted in a secret door by the 'Lingshan Tathagata'."

"By simply advancing to the [Time Sequence] level through this inheritance, a connection in time and cause and effect will naturally be established with [Lingshan Tathagata]."

“Using this as an anchor point, we can pull the [Lingshan Tathagata] out of the realm of time and space, and help him achieve true reincarnation.”

"I have struggled for nine lifetimes before I finally broke free from the cage of [Lingshan] and escaped the fate of being used as a tool for reincarnation."

"Since that's the case, it would be impolite not to reciprocate!"

“I intend to continue to promote the reincarnation of [Lingshan Tathagata], but I will set up a cage to bring the reincarnated [Lingshan Tathagata] under my control.”

“But the Tathagata of Mount Ling is, after all, a true Buddha who has transcended the mundane world. I cannot bear this alone, and I need the help of two fellow Daoists.”

"According to the sect records of [Lingshan Temple], [Lingshan Tathagata] advanced to [Transcendence] with the power of ninety-two [Time Sequences]."

"If I could actually capture it and refine it, I could obtain at least a third of the [Time Sequence]!"

"At that time, I'm willing to offer twenty [Time Sequence] items to share the profits with you two!" [No Eyes] is truly generous!
He planned to sever his karmic ties with [Lingshan Tathagata] once and for all, and directly try every means to kill that [Transcendent Buddha]!
This is the most important thing for him after being promoted to [Chronology]!

It was even something that [the blind] had been scheming, plotting, and pushing forward throughout his ten lifetimes of cultivation.

He continued:

"There's one more thing. I don't have the money. If you can get me an Eye of Transcendence, I'm willing to give you extra Time Sequence as compensation."

"The Divine Eye of Transcendence is extremely important to me!"

"Originally, I only had a 50% chance of winning. But if I can obtain the [Transcendence] Divine Eye before the plan officially starts, I'm confident I can increase my chances to over 80%!"

“I only have less than four hundred pieces of Immortal Jade. I don’t know how much I need to exchange for a Divine Eye. You can name your price.”

Jing Qian was overjoyed upon hearing this, regardless of how many [Immortal Jade] there were!
As long as he can make a deal with Lao Qi using the [Immortal Remains Jade], he'll be making a killing.

Earning a measly 1,800 yuan would leave me bewildered; I wouldn't dare dream of it.

Even three or five yuan can significantly boost your [Sumeru] dimension, making it worthwhile to try.

He just opened his mouth and said:
“Since the patriarch has said so, I will do my best to get you another eyeball.”

"Please give me some time. I promise I will finish this before the plan begins."

For Jing Qian, exchanging several hundred Immortal Jade fragments for one Holy Eye is merely a matter of how much profit he makes.

Given his relationship with "Eyeless," there was no need for him to ask the other party to pay more.

To obtain ten [Time Sequence] items is already an incredible stroke of luck!

The power of time in each cycle of the Clock of Time is finite, and ultimately all of this power will converge on the body of the transcendent being.

Under the influence of the Great Abyss Tide, it is almost impossible for a Transcendent being to break through the bottleneck and advance to the Other Shore.

Therefore, the power of [time sequence] will be taken back after it has cycled through the present world, completing a closed loop.

If, under impossible circumstances, a cultivator specializing in [Time Order] manages to overthrow a [Transcendent] being, they can also extract the [Time Order] power that maintains the [Transcendent] status from that being.

This method is the most difficult, but also yields the most dramatic results, far more efficient than extracting "time sequence" from peers or the "past".

However, those who can accomplish such a feat are extremely rare!

If the three members of [Yanfu Dao] can successfully outwit [Lingshan Tathagata], then in this cycle, [Yanfu] will have gained a significant advantage.

After the three finished their discussion, they went their separate ways to prepare, as agreed.

Among them, Jing Qian re-counted the [Immortal Jade] he had on hand. Including the ones given away for free by the three big shots [Ren Chong], and the ones newly contributed by [Gui Mao] and [Wu Yan], he produced more than three thousand more.

When he relayed this news to the seventh brother, the "Shared Holy Son" was nearly grinning from ear to ear!
The seventh brother reaped huge benefits in the last transaction, and his strength and status have all seen a tremendous and visible improvement.

He was worried that if he turned the [Immortal Remains Jade] into a one-off deal, he would never be able to supply it again.

Unexpectedly, Lao Ba was so powerful that he amassed a large amount of [Immortal Remains Jade] in a very short time.

It should be known that the gods, both great and small, in the Kingdom of the Lord have virtually no limit to their demand for Immortal Jade!
The first batch of seven thousand [Immortal Jade] he traded were completely absorbed within a small core circle of the [Wealth God System] and never reached the market.

The second wave of supplies from Lao Ba was quite timely and played an unshakable role in helping Lao Qi continue to establish his position!
The seventh brother, carrying the information about this transaction, headed straight for the [Wisdom Pantheon]. Since the eighth brother specifically requested the [Eye of Omniscience], and three thousand of them were a transaction size that the [Wisdom Pantheon] could handle.

This second transaction can serve as his stepping stone to unlock the [Wisdom Pantheon]!
And so, Lao Qi, who had gained experience in cross-border trade, got busy with something.

……

Within the core of the Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle's domain, Hun Yuan is in seclusion, cultivating in solitude.

Shenxiao perfectly took over the position of Xingchen, rising from a mere thug to a navigator, which is quite a challenge for Hunyuan.

He has devoted himself almost entirely to the study of the Way of the Stars.

Whenever he gained some insights, he would try to use the power of the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle] to verify them!

On this day, following the secret teachings of the Stars, he finally succeeded in activating the divine power of the Dao Abyss Shuttle, which brought him great rewards.

This wondrous sight is the detection radar of the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle], which helps the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle] scan a considerable area to detect the figures of all [Dao Nie] even within the [Great Abyss].

Now that it is in the present world, this radar is even more effective without the obscuring power of the [Great Abyss]!

[Hun Yuan] easily scanned the figures of the three [Old Days].

These three big shots are hiding in the airspace surrounding the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle], secretly spying on it!
Although he couldn't tell who it was, he was still quite excited.

He succeeded on his first time operating the radar; he's practically a chosen one!
He then diligently fulfilled his duties as navigator, marking the figures of the three [Old Ones] and announcing it throughout the world!

In an instant, all the cultivators of the [Time Sequence] realm became aware of this moment.

The Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle, which had just calmed down, is now in turmoil again.

In the last battle against [Pulling Silk Eight Difficulties], all the monsters were stolen by those bandits from [Pure Yang Heaven], it's simply inhuman!

This time, [Pure Yang Heaven] was directly banned and could not participate in the battle. Everyone could only watch as [White Lord], [Hun Yuan], and [E Gao Shangdi] led their teams out of the realm and split up to attack the three [Old Ones].

It's really a wave of unrest, a wave of rises!
……

After separating from his two fellow disciples, [Eyeless] transformed into a streak of light and fell into the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe].

He flew all the way back to the Southern Ink Rhyme Tathagata Heaven, the former site of the Lingshan Temple.

This is the place where he cultivated for ten lifetimes, and it is also the most suitable place to bury the Buddha of Mount Ling.

He will weave a cage here that Lingshan cannot escape!
