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

Chapter 324 The Old Stories of Yanfu: The Dao Ancestor Appears
The female cultivator dared not linger, for the characteristics of her two [spiritual treasures] were extremely distinct.

In the first wave of the attack, it is easiest to catch the enemy off guard and take them down in one fell swoop.

If this drags on, and Jing Qian develops some unique method, unexpected changes may occur.

No one dared to underestimate a single pillar; this might be the female cultivator's only chance to win.

She frantically drained her own Dao power, and the Mirror of Fate suddenly reflected a divine light that illuminated the entire battlefield.

Under the divine light, reality and illusion reversed, and even things in the mortal world began to become ethereal.

Even Jing Qian's physical body began to gradually become ethereal under the power of the [Spiritual Treasure].

The female cultivator intends to lure the enemy into her most familiar territory and defeat them using her extensive experience.

Jing Qian, however, remained engrossed in the divine light emanating from the Mirror, experiencing the interplay of reality and illusion.

He even summoned the black cat, Qili, with a wave of his hand, so that it could experience the power of the divine light with him.

The female cultivator was trying to pull the man and the cat towards the world in the mirror, but Jing Qian and his servant remained motionless.

Jing Qian then spoke:
"Mountain Lord, how is it? Can your [Flaming Mountain] be adapted from that?"

【Qili】is experiencing her own ethereal transformation with great seriousness, trying to comprehend the true meaning of the Great Dao within.

At this moment, it has completed the [Time Sequence] advancement, and its cultivation level has finally caught up with [Good Corn].

It used the perspective of a first-rank official to try and understand the other party's extraordinary abilities, and then spoke:
"Master, if you want to refine the Flaming Mountain to have the ability to switch between reality and illusion and continue to expand the scale of logistics and trade, you will probably need a core that can support the Flaming Mountain at the level of a Spirit Treasure."

"The mirror on the other side should be enough, but it's probably not easy to snatch it in this illusion."

Jing Qian nodded and continued:

"The Jade Dream Ruins are unique in nature, existing between the real and the illusory, making them the best place to produce such spiritual treasures."

"Let's make a mark first. I have a feeling we'll have a chance to go sometime!"

Currently, [Flaming Mountain] has undergone rapid development due to the nurturing of two universes, [Million Palace] and [Nine Dragon Cauldron].

It has become increasingly important to Jing Qian's system.

It is an important supplement to the [Sumeru] dimension and an excellent medium for connecting other realms.

As more and more realms use the [Life Stove] system to enter [Flaming Mountain].

It can bring a massive amount of matter and magic power to the [Sumeru] dimension.

Especially after the [Flame Mountain] was combined with the [Time Graveyard], it became even more attractive.

In the long run, the benefits brought by [Flaming Mountain] will increase exponentially.

In Jing Qian's view, building such a platform would be more effective than robbing people with his own hands.

Maintaining the long-term appeal and material carrying capacity of [Flaming Mountain] is a long-term goal for him and [Qili].

After witnessing the [Mirror's Edge], his first reaction was to incorporate this ability to switch between reality and illusion into the [Flaming Mountain].

If he can do it, then by virtue of the [Sumeru] dimension, he can, to some extent, achieve cross-[Great Ruins] trade, similar to that of the [Imaginary Ruins].

Even though the losses in between will be higher, the barrier to entry will undoubtedly be much lower compared to the [Daydreaming Club].

This is very important for his subsequent spiritual practice.

Therefore, he developed a great interest in the female cultivator in front of him and the precious mirror in her hand.

The other party was so enthusiastic, insisting on inviting him into the treasure mirror. If he refused, it would be too cold of him.

Thus, Jing Qian stood up, without being dragged by divine light, and drove the [Pangu Body] straight into the [Mirror's Edge].

But the next second, an enormous force erupted from the mirror world.

The female cultivator was overjoyed, thinking she had finally captured the enemy in the "Mirror's Edge."

However, when Jing Qian's true form tried to break in, she felt as if an entire enormous world was trying to squeeze in.

The world in the mirror is a mixture of reality and illusion, without sky or earth, and is extremely vast.

However, Jing Qian's true form is not a normal person at all.

Rather, it is an existence deeply bound to the [Sumeru] dimension.

He not only wants to break into the mirror world himself, but also drag the [Sumeru] dimension into it as well.

This was an unexpected turn of events that the female nun had never anticipated!
Even though her [Mirror of Fate] is an [Acquired Spiritual Treasure], it is absolutely impossible for it to support a [Great Ruins Seed].

If the other person insists on squeezing in, she'll burst from the pressure!

For a moment, she found herself in an awkward situation once again.

……

The Infinite Hell has 999 levels, each of which is at least one powerful cosmic realm.

It is inhabited by countless terrifying demons, whose power is unprecedented.

Since Littlefinger's ordeal, there have been noticeable changes throughout Infinite Hell.

There are seven hells in total, and an arms race has suddenly begun.

The core combat forces were gradually drawn out and assembled into an army, about to embark on an expedition to the Great Abyss.

Excitement and anticipation filled the seven realms.

For the beings cultivating in the [Infinite Hell], competing for resources is an instinct ingrained in their very bones.

An undeveloped virgin land is a great opportunity that can satisfy the needs of many people for spiritual practice.

Among the seven [Other Shore] Great Demons, one [Other Shore] has a rather special origin.

He resides in the 857th level of the Great Hell, where he raises hundreds of millions of beasts within his territory, from jackals and tigers to lions, lions, dragons, and elephants, encompassing almost all rare divine beast bloodlines.

On this day, he emerged from his cave, rode a giant lion, and fled into the depths of the Eight-Five-Seven Great Hell.

This place is a forbidden area set up by this [Other Shore], occupying one-fifth of the entire Great Hell.

Apart from the demonic beasts under his strict control who are allowed to enter and exit, outsiders are never allowed to set foot here.

【The Other Shore】Leisurely arrived at the core of the forbidden area, tied the Suanni to a huge stone pillar, and stepped further in.

This Suanni can serve as a mount for the Other Shore, so its cultivation level is naturally not low, and it has already reached the Transcendental rank.

In the outside world, he would also be an extremely powerful Great Demon Saint.

But when placed before this "Other Shore," it is merely a means of transportation.

It didn't take this big shot long before he arrived at the outside of a rather old-fashioned courtyard.

Looking up, above the courtyard hung an even more ancient-looking plaque made of animal bones, inscribed with four large characters:
【Jambudvipa Garden】!
This [Other Shore] is actually from [Great Abyss]?
The [Yanfu Beast Garden] was where he made his fortune, so he was naturally very familiar with it.

He stepped into the deepest part and sat on a rather peculiar, enormous beast saddle.

Then, he closed his eyes and sensed, casting his thoughts towards the infinite distance. ...

Deep within the Great Abyss, where the Dao Abyss lies, lies another unique realm, existing within a hidden spatial interlayer.

This place is a paradise where countless tree spirits and grass spirits grow, and it is called the [Yanfu Nursery].

Within the lineage of the [Yamfu Path], the Nursery and the Beast Garden correspond to each other and are the highest-level precious realms, whose value even far exceeds that of the [Ten Palaces of Jamfu] once all are collected.

With the nursery and animal park as its foundation, it is sufficient to support an extremely large army of creature tamers, and can perfectly give full play to the cultivation advantages of the Yanfu [Exorcism] lineage.

These two strange structures were lost as early as 100,000 years ago.

Among them, the [Yanfu Nursery] fell into the hands of [Gui Mao], becoming the foundation for his enlightenment, and he quietly took the lead in advancing to [Old Days].

Despite the rapid progress of [Eyeless] and [Poor] in their cultivation, the elder [Ghost Hair]'s progress was solid, unwavering, and flawless.

If we're talking about advancing to the "Transcendence" level, "Ghost Hair" isn't entirely certain, but he's certainly very confident.

He is just waiting for the right time, for the Great Abyss to change, so that he can break free of his shackles and complete his advancement.

On this day, just as [Ghost Hair] was peacefully cultivating in the nursery, a small seedling suddenly sprouted from the depths of the nursery.

This sapling is lush and green, seemingly delicate, yet it exudes the same aura as the entire [Yanfu Nursery].

It sways gently, as if breathing, each breath stirring the essence of the plants in the nursery.

[Ghost Hair] felt a jolt in his heart and immediately sensed this unusual place.

He maintains extremely strict control over the [Yanfu Nursery], and even the slightest change can quickly attract his attention.

He focused his senses and was astonished to discover that the seedling's roots had ignored the spatial barriers and deeply penetrated the fundamental laws of the [Yanfu Nursery]. They were drawing power and growing upwards in a gentle yet irresistible way.

In this world, there is only one cultivator who can bypass the authority of [Ghost Hair] and mobilize the origin of [Yanfu Nursery]!
[Ghost Hair] looked extremely serious; this was a major event that had exceeded his expectations!

At the same time, far away in the 857th level of the Infinite Hell, the [Other Shore] sitting on the beast saddle in the [Yanfu Beast Garden] suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of amusement flashing in them.

As his expression changed, the newborn seedling far away in the Great Abyss also made a human-like expression.

Then, [The Other Shore] spoke, and his voice, reflected by the seedlings, entered [Yanfu Nursery].

This is actually an extremely rare method for cross-realm remote communication.

Just listen to him say:
"Boy, which generation of [Yanfuzi] are you?"

"As far as I remember, during the time of [Tide's Roar], the last two to join were [Demon Suppressor] and [Evil Wind]. Are they still around?"

Even now, [Ghost Hair] was completely clueless!
The founder of our own sect, the former "Ancestor of the Jambudvipa," is actually still alive!

Not only that, if he is not mistaken, the true form of the [Yanfu Dao Ancestor] is already in another realm outside the [Great Abyss].

The patriarch has clearly advanced to the [Other Shore] cultivation level!

After all this time, it turns out that within the Dao Yuan, there is more than just the Xuanyuan faction of the Other Shore.

Even the seemingly most destitute and on the verge of collapse, [Yanfu Dao], actually has such a powerful foundation!
Faced with the patriarch's question, [Guimao] spoke up:
"Reporting to the Ancestor, the two Ancestors, [Demon Suppressor] and [Evil Wind], were devoured by the [Celestial Body] you left in the realm."

“I am a descendant of the Evil Wind, and my Buddhist name is Ghost Hair.”

"Squeamish?"

"【Evil Wind】That bastard deserves to die."

"How could you give me such a Buddhist name as 'Yanfuzi'!"

"How many people are left in the lineage now?"

[Ghost Hair] thought to himself, the reason why I was given such an unlucky Buddhist name and have been unlucky for tens of thousands of years is all because of this guy in front of me.

He continued in his reply:

“Master, since the [Tide Cry], all the major lineages in the world have suffered severe damage.”

"My [Yanfu Dao] is no exception!"

"In particular, your six realms of reincarnation are eyeing us, the disciples of Jambudvipa, for food."

"Therefore, the transmission of the Dharma lineage is quite difficult."

"At this point, in this realm, besides me, there are five other 'Yanfuzi': [Seeing Ghosts], [Cheap Life], [Blind], [Sick], and [Poor]."

"However, the younger disciples have been quite diligent in their cultivation, and their cultivation levels are now considered outstanding in the Great Abyss."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was met with a moment of silence from [Yanfu].

He was already a highly accomplished cultivator at the "Other Shore" level, and considered himself to be knowledgeable and experienced. However, these six rather novel Dharma names still caused his evil aura to surge for a moment, leaving him unsure of how to react.

To put it bluntly, when the younger generation chose their Dharma names, the only criterion was that "Yanfu Daozu" was annoying enough.

These six Dharma names are quite classic and would definitely make the Daoist patriarch bow down upon hearing them.

He almost couldn't help but complain out loud!

However, these trivial matters were not the main point. [Yanfu Daozu] then focused on the important matter and spoke:
"Let's put those aside for now."

"The reason I went to such lengths to contact you is because the beacon of the [Great Abyss] has been leaked, and a great demon of the [Other Shore] level is about to invade."

"I've taken a liking to all these great demons. I'm going to bury them in the [Yanfu Beast Garden] and raise a few powerful demon beasts from them."

"I need your cooperation to gather the disciples of [Yanfu] and set a trap in [Dayuan] to help me kill those great demons."

"You'll definitely get a share of the profits from this!"

Upon hearing this, Gui Mao's eyes lit up, and his interest immediately surged.

The Great Demon of the Other Shore is an immeasurable treasure. If one can participate in the hunt, even just to get a share of the scraps, it would be enough to further his cultivation and even greatly help him break through to the Transcendence realm.

If a powerful demon from another realm were to visit, and we were not prepared in advance, it would be a cataclysmic disaster that would result in countless losses.

However, if prepared, they could work together from the inside and outside to ambush him.

That would be an incredible stroke of luck!
As for the arrangement mentioned by [Yanfu Daozu], it was actually a method passed down from the Yanfu family.

He's the most cunning and scheming person in this field, and his favorite kind of shady dealings.

[Ghost Hair] believes that from seeing ghosts to being broke, absolutely no one would refuse.

"How does the Patriarch require our cooperation?"

Mao suppressed the turmoil in his heart and asked respectfully.

The emerald green seedling swayed slightly, and the voice of [Yanfu Daozu] carried a hint of calculation as he continued:

"Call all the younger generation here first. I need to test your abilities before I can make any arrangements."

[Ghost Hair] nodded and said:

“Master, please wait a moment, I will summon their souls now.”
