New and dark light years

Chapter 351 The Secret to Cultivation

"You didn't know?" Li Lin found it absurd: "Aren't you a god?"

“I’m a mystery too.” The man seemed unconcerned about Li Lin’s attitude. He said gently, “Don’t even mention me, even those nature gods who are more in tune with heaven and earth don’t know what’s going on.”

Li Lin asked, "When did it start?"

"It started to deteriorate about ten years ago," Siluo Tuo laughed. "The first to die were us priests, followed by many nature gods. Only the powerful nature gods could survive. But strangely, it seems that heaven and earth are only targeting us Southern Barbarians, while showing leniency to your Great Qi."

Li Lin said, "No... the Northern Barbarians also suffered."

“Northern Di…” Siluo Tuo thought for a moment, then realized, “Oh, you are people from even further north. I didn’t realize it at first, after all, in our eyes, you are the northerners.”

That's right, the Great Qi was to the north of the Southern Barbarians.

The Southern Barbarians and the Northern Di had almost no contact, after all, there was the formidable Qi state between them.

Li Lin looked at the other person: "Did you deliberately drag me into this?"

“Yes.” Siluo Tuo looked at Li Lin and said, “I just want to see who has bound me.”

"What are your plans?" Li Lin asked. "Do you want to go out?"

“No, it’s fine here.” Siluo looked around. “Here, I can still have thoughts and feel alive. Outside… there’s only the pain of being targeted by heaven and earth, so I’m very grateful to you.”

Li Lin raised an eyebrow, pondered for a few moments, and then asked, "What are your thoughts on the Great Qi?"

"Are you testing me?" Siluo Tuo laughed.

Li Lin didn't say anything.

Siluotuo thought for a moment and said, "I can sense many wronged souls of us 'Bucheng' people in you. It seems you have a deep-seated prejudice against us Bucheng people."

The Nanman people are divided into several groups, and Bucheng is one of them.

Li Lin stated frankly, "I've calculated it, and the number of Southern Barbarians who have died directly or indirectly at my hands has exceeded ten thousand."

At this point, Li Lin became wary, sensing that Siluotuo might become angry.

But to my surprise, Siluo Tuo was very peaceful.

Instead, he laughed and said, "That's still too few. When I was alive, I killed no less than 50,000 people from Daqi. After I became a sacrificial god, over the years... probably almost a thousand years, no less than a million people from Daqi died directly at my hands. You still haven't killed enough."

Li Lin didn't react much to these words.

His dislike for the southern barbarians was a matter of political stance.

Because he is now on the side of the Qi people.

However, it's not necessarily true that he has deep feelings for the people of Daqi, considering that he has only been in this world for two years.

Seeing that Li Lin did not react much, Siluotuo said, "We each have our own stance. Neither of us needs to feel too guilty about killing. But now that we are forced to join forces because of fate, we must put aside our prejudices."

Li Lin asked, "Why should we join forces?"

"I want to be reborn into this world, and I need your help."

Li Lin snorted and asked, "But what can you do to help me?"

"I can see that you are cultivating. I have met the only true immortal in your Great Qi. If you want to follow the path he has taken, I can offer you some assistance!"

Upon hearing this, Li Lin took a deep breath: "The only true immortal? Doesn't our Great Qi have any gods?"

"There have been."

When Li Lin heard these words, he thought of something.

"It seems you are really smart; you've already vaguely guessed the truth."

Siluotuo floated over, but the countless lightsabers around him were faintly vibrating.

He dared not move forward any further, fearing he would be attacked by the lightsaber. After thinking for a while, he said, "Talking will take a long time. So, see for yourself."

After saying that, he pointed at Li Lin from afar.

A tiny bead of light drifted over slowly and stopped in front of Li Lin.

Li Lin looked at the other person with a questioning gaze.

“This is what I have seen in the past. You can place it on your forehead and you will see what I have seen and understand what I have thought.”

Li Lin took the light bead with his right hand, probed it with his spiritual sense, and found that it was not aggressive, so he pressed it on his forehead.

Then, his consciousness was once again pulled into a 'point'.

Then, he opened his eyes and felt the whole world shaking.

He then discovered that it wasn't the world that was shaking, but the body he was 'possessed' in that was shaking.

He was trembling with fear.

Looking up and down, Li Lin found himself above the white clouds, with an endless black abyss in the sky above. Visible energy mixed with green energy flowed through the air above.

The wind was so fast... it seemed to have become countless blades.

This is... the Nine Heavens Gale.

The thought flashed through Li Lin's mind, though he wasn't sure how he knew it.

Then, he looked to his left and right and found that he was surrounded by strange-looking insects... very huge insects.

Various white, red, and purple insects floated in the air, mixed with some humanoid creatures, though their clothing clearly indicated an uncivilized appearance.

Suddenly, Li Lin felt a pang of heart palpitation. He subconsciously looked ahead and saw countless 'sword lights' raging in the distant horizon.

After he 'looked' at it, the distant distance suddenly seemed to shrink, as if the screen had been enlarged.

And on that distant horizon, there stands a majestic heavenly city.

It sits atop an endless sea of ​​white clouds, its glazed tile roof gleaming with golden light.

The sheer size of this heavenly city... Li Lin simply couldn't describe it.

It was a vast expanse that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see. And above the Heavenly City, there were countless lightsabers... one after another, densely packed, covering the entire Heavenly City.

From Tiancheng, countless golden-armored deities flew out, like a swarm of insects.

But there were more lightsabers, and they were more densely packed.

The light and dust bombarded down, like countless meteors falling from the sky.

The golden-armored deity was stabbed, killed, and fell from the sky.

The city was constantly struck by lightsabers, its glazed tile roof shattered, its roof riddled with holes, and the pillars of the main hall collapsed.

And lightsabers are endless; as soon as one is gone, another appears.

At this moment, Li Lin felt the body he was possessing tremble even more violently.

It is unknown how much time passed, but the golden-armored divine soldiers of Tiancheng were gone, and Tiancheng itself became ruins and desolate.

Above the endless swords of light, a man with flowing sleeves stood in the void.

Even from a great distance, I could hear his voice.

He laughed wildly: "Hahaha, so-called gods are nothing but this! I do as I please, who dares to stop me, who can stop me!"

Then, the screen disappeared.

Li Lin's consciousness returned to the world of the lightsaber once again.

He covered his forehead and hissed.

It seems that seeing other people's memories had a certain impact on his mental state.

"So, what are your thoughts after seeing the magnificence of the One True Immortal?"

"Very arrogant."

"Hahaha." Siluotuo laughed, "This is the madman who emerged from your Great Qi people... no, the Mad Immortal. He is also the only true immortal. Since then, your Great Qi has had no more immortals or gods. But none of the gods we call ourselves have dared to cause trouble on your Great Qi territory, do you understand?"

"How many years ago was this?"

"Let me think, it was probably three hundred years ago."

Li Lin narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and asked, "You just said you could help me cultivate?"

"Correct."

"Since you can help me, you can cultivate on your own. Why haven't you become a true immortal?"

Siluotuo nodded: "Good question, because I am a priest. Under normal circumstances, priests cannot cultivate on their own. The strength of us priests is directly proportional to the amount of faith... the incense offerings you mentioned."

Li Lin understood.

"So even if you know the cultivation method, you still can't cultivate?"

"That's theoretically true."

"So there was an unexpected incident?"

Siluotuo nodded and said, "Yes... Nature gods can enjoy incense offerings and also cultivate themselves."

"Then why don't you southern barbarians...whose so-called nature gods cultivate this method?"

“The nature gods here are almost all insects, not humans. How are they supposed to cultivate?” Siluo Tuo laughed heartily.

Li Lin raised an eyebrow helplessly: "How about you teach me some tricks first, so I can confirm that you really understand, and then we'll talk about what to do next."

"no problem."

Siluotuo laughed and said, "You should practice the 'obscurity' technique."

Li Lin nodded.

"So, have you found your own 'Shuo'?"

Li Lin shook his head: "I still don't know what Shuo is."

“I don’t know what your ‘Shuo’ is either,” Siluo Tuo said with a smile.

"Then why are you asking about this?"

“But I know its essence,” Siluo Tuo explained. “Shuo could be your inner demon, or it could be your obsession; anything is possible. But when you cultivate the Hidden Word Technique to the point where you can store things in your spiritual palace, you may find your own Shuo.”

“What you’re saying is practically the same as not saying anything at all,” Li Lin said. “I’ve been practicing the Obscurity Technique, and I’ll know what my own Shuo is sooner or later. I don’t need your reminder.”

Siluotuo waved his hand: "I have another meaning to this. Once you sense your own demise, you will face a great calamity, at least three times, each more severe than the last. The battle of the gods you just witnessed was the Mad Immortal's final calamity."

Li Lin asked, "Where did the Mad Immortal go after that?"

“I don’t know. He disappeared after that,” Siluo Tuo said. “Some say he was seriously injured and went into hiding. Others say he ascended to the true heavens.”

skyline!

Li Lin knew that parallel worlds existed, since he himself came from another world.

Then he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Do you know about the sky falling down?"

"The sky collapsed?" Siluo Tuo shook his head: "I don't know. At least when I was 'alive,' this didn't happen. Either this happened before I was born, or this is just a hoax."

Li Linjue didn't think it was fake.

Although Liu Shen appears to be childlike, she doesn't seem like the type to lie.

Moreover, one is a cunning strategist from within the Great Qi... and the other is a cunning strategist from the Southern Barbarians, so he naturally believed that he had more people.

So he stopped asking about it and said, "Then tell me some tips that will be useful to my cultivation."

“The cultivation of the Obscurity Technique is extremely difficult. One can make rapid progress with the presence of dragon energy, but it is not always necessary. Dragon energy is too difficult to collect,” Siluo Tuo said. “Demon energy can also be used to improve the Obscurity Technique.”
