Xian Ni: The God of Killing Returns, Marries Li Muwan at the Beginning

After several months, Lin Che and Fan Shanmeng arrived at the Immortal Clan's Imperial City, a paradise for cultivators, where even the weakest cultivators had reached the Ascending Realm.

Once the strongest being in the Ascension stage on Vermilion Bird Star, now that he's here, he doesn't even have the ability to become a guard.

Lin Che looked at Fan Shanmeng beside him and said softly, "Let's go, let's go to a nearby inn to rest, and take this opportunity to find out where the Immortal Ancestor is."

The Immortal Ancestor possesses unimaginable status and strength, making it no easy task to meet him. Moreover, given his current abilities, he can only be considered an ordinary Great Venerable in the Immortal Continent.

To become such a being, one's own strength needs to reach the level of a Heavenly Venerable, or even a half-step Heavenly Realm.

The Immortal Ancestor's strength was already at the half-step Heaven-Treading Realm, so only by reaching this level could one truly break through the shackles.

"Senior, and you?"

Fan Shanmeng asked with a face full of curiosity.

"I need to go into seclusion to break through my cultivation level. It may take ten years, a hundred years, or even several hundred years. If I do not return, you will stay here and not leave. Do you understand?"

Lin Che glanced at Fan Shanmeng and calmly reminded her that since his immortal abode was located here, someone had to live here and guard it.

"I understand……"

...

Upon arriving at the inn, Lin Che entrusted the matter to Fan Shanmeng, while he himself entered the immortal abode that Mo Zhi had given him.

Lin Che knew in his heart that he didn't have much time left and needed to seize the opportunity to improve his strength quickly, otherwise it would be extremely difficult to defeat those guys in the future.

The energy within the Immortal Abode is extremely abundant, very similar to this place. However, due to the special nature of the Immortal Abode, cultivating here is twice as effective with half the effort.

Within the third level, three days here are equivalent to only one hour outside. Therefore, cultivating here requires only sufficient comprehension, and breaking through the barriers is an easy matter.

As the gates of the immortal palace slowly closed, completely isolating the outside world from the hustle and bustle of the imperial city, a surge of spiritual energy far more refined and powerful than that of the immortal imperial city rushed in, transforming into a visible white spiritual mist that swirled and entwined in the corridors.

Lin Che took a deep breath, and the immortal energy in his dantian instantly boiled. All the pores on his body opened up, greedily absorbing the almost liquefied spiritual energy.

"As expected of the immortal abode bestowed by Senior Mo Zhi, the spiritual energy concentration of the first layer alone is comparable to the top spiritual veins of the Immortal Gang Continent."

Lin Che's eyes lit up, and he began to move with incredible speed, his figure darting through the corridors like a streak of light, heading straight for the third floor.

The stone walls on both sides of the road are covered with ancient runes, which occasionally flash with a faint golden light and exude an aura of majesty that suppresses heaven and earth. They are obviously a spirit-gathering and defensive array set up by ancient cultivators.

Upon reaching the entrance to the third level, a stone door engraved with the trajectory of stars stands before you. Above the door, the three ancient seal characters "Hall of Time" are powerful and vigorous, faintly revealing the mystery of the laws of time.

Lin Che raised his hand and placed it on the stone door. The moment his immortal energy was injected into the door, it slowly opened. A completely different spatial and temporal force swept over him, causing the flow of his immortal energy to slow down abruptly.

Stepping into the hall, the view suddenly opened up. This was a large hall, about a thousand feet square, with the floor paved with a single piece of obsidian, covered with dense array patterns.

A crystal-clear jade platform floats in the center, and above it, three fist-sized crystals emit a soft glow, which are the core elements that maintain the acceleration of time.

Time Crystal. "One hour outside is equivalent to three days here... Such an extraordinary cultivation environment, if word gets out, would drive all cultivators on the Immortal Continent mad."

Lin Che walked to the jade platform, feeling the subtle changes in his immortal essence under the influence of the power of time, and a determined smile appeared on his lips.

He sat cross-legged on the jade platform, his hands quickly forming hand seals, and a layer of pale golden light instantly rose around him, isolating him from the outside world.

Lin Che's goal for this seclusion was extremely clear: to break through the Great Venerable realm and enter the ranks of Leaping Heavenly Venerables.

In the cultivation system of the Immortal Continent, above the Great Venerable is the Golden Venerable, above the Golden Venerable is the Heavenly Venerable, and above the Heavenly Venerable is the Leaping Heavenly Venerable.

This step may seem like just an improvement in one's realm, but in reality it is a complete reshaping of one's own Dao.

Although a Great Venerable expert can control a portion of the rules of heaven and earth, if they wish to advance further, they must break the shackles of their own Dao foundation, transform the immortal essence within their body into a more refined Heavenly Venerable power, and at the same time comprehend their own Dao Domain, only then can they truly leap over that insurmountable chasm.

Lin Che had been stuck at the Great Venerable realm for several years, and his accumulated knowledge had reached its peak, which was why he had not been able to break through.

Firstly, there was a lack of sufficiently rich spiritual energy to support him, and secondly, his comprehension of the Dao Domain was always just one step short.

The accelerated time and abundant spiritual energy on the third level of the Immortal Abode now perfectly compensate for these two major shortcomings.

Lin Che slowly closed his eyes and focused his mind on his dantian.

Within his dantian, a vortex of immortal energy, roughly ten feet in size, slowly rotated. At the center of the vortex, a dazzling nascent soul radiated brilliant light; this was the core of his Great Venerable realm.

Around the Nascent Soul, wisps of gray energy swirled, which was the unique Daoist aura he had condensed after merging various concepts such as slaughter, reincarnation, and cause and effect on his journey from Vermilion Bird Star.

"To break through to the Celestial Venerable level, the first step is to thoroughly integrate these Daoist principles into the Nascent Soul, allowing the Immortal Essence to undergo a qualitative transformation."

With a thought, Lin Che manipulated the spiritual energy around him to continuously flow into his dantian, traveling along the meridians and constantly cleansing the connection between his nascent soul and the Daoist essence.

The spiritual energy surged like a mighty river, continuously strengthening the immortal vortex. The light on the nascent soul grew brighter and brighter, and the surrounding gray Dao aura was enveloped by the spiritual energy, gradually approaching the nascent soul.

But just as the Daoist essence was about to touch the Nascent Soul, a strong repulsive force suddenly erupted!
"Ok?"

Lin Che frowned slightly, feeling a sharp pain in his dantian. His nascent soul trembled violently, as if it would shatter at any moment.

The gray Daoist aura seemed to be blocked by an invisible force, and was forcibly repelled. Some of the Daoist aura even dissipated directly, turning into pure energy that dissipated into the dantian.

"It's a conflict between the Dao principles... The Dao of Slaughter is too fierce, the Dao of Reincarnation is too gentle, and the Dao of Cause and Effect is too elusive and unpredictable. Forcibly fusing the three together only leads to mutual conflict."

Lin Che instantly understood the key point: the mixed Daoist aura, while allowing him to far surpass his peers in combat power within the same realm, also sowed the seeds of hidden dangers for his breakthrough to the Celestial Venerable realm.

"It seems that we cannot force a fusion; we must find a main thread that can connect the three."

Lin Che took a deep breath, suppressing the discomfort in his dantian, and immersed his mind in comprehending his own Dao. (End of Chapter)
