Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 319 The Truth! Plotting to Seize the Yin Soul Sect's Legacy [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

"Five early-stage Tier 3 Yin Spirit Beast Kings, and one early-stage Tier 3 Ghost Cultivator, everyone be careful!"

The moment Lin Chang'an rushed onto the island, he noticed that there were two Tier 3 Yin Spirit Beast Kings on the surface, but there were others hiding in the shadows.

There were a total of six powerful third-tier auras.

With Lin Chang'an's cold shout as a reminder, everyone discovered the Yin Spirit Beast King, which was hiding in the shadows and preparing to launch a sneak attack.

Lu exclaimed in surprise, "That was close!"

"Fortunately, my previous worries were that it was a trap set by the ghost cultivators in the Ghost Realm, otherwise we would have been in trouble today."

Initially, some ghost cultivators used this method to fish, and it actually harmed quite a few cultivators.

Therefore, Lu Yushu had this concern when the merchant ship was stranded on the island, which is why he went to Xuan Yin Pavilion to ask for help, since everyone had a share in the business.

Even though Lin Chang'an didn't leave seclusion, he was still prepared to spend some spirit stones to invite one or two more Core Formation cultivators to help him.

It just so happened that Lin Chang'an came out of seclusion.

I never imagined that my caution would actually come in handy.

"Everyone be careful."

Especially this ghost cultivator, when Lin Chang'an discovered that the other party was only at the early stage of the third rank, whether it was perception or divine sense, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

The enemy is not strong.

However, Lin Chang'an's cold shout made the ghost cultivators hiding in the shadows' eyes widen in fury.

"Early stage of Rank 3! Early stage of Rank 3!"

This term is used to describe both external cultivation and demonic beasts.

The term "body refinement" is used metaphorically to describe possessing physical strength as powerful as that of a demonic beast.

This phrase can be used to describe a ghost cultivator; it completely tramples on the dignity of a cultivator.

"Why should you be superior to me?!"

As several sword beams shot out, they directly exposed the locations of the hidden third-tier Yin Spirit Beast Kings and even the ghost cultivators.

The ghost cultivator then appeared before everyone in a sinister manner.

In fact, Lin Chang'an's actions were unintentional and he did not intend to discriminate against ghost cultivators in the slightest.

Since this ghost cultivator is mixed up with the Yin Spirit Beast King, he will naturally be included in the discussion.

"Six Yin Spirits at the early stage of the third rank!"

Although the Foundation Establishment cultivators were extremely nervous, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lin Chang'an behind them.

Including the Green Horned Ox, their side also has four Golden Core cultivators.

One of them was even at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, and was a sword cultivator known for his offensive prowess.

Although they had spent years cultivating diligently in their caves, earning spirit stones through formations, and had not engaged in much combat, most cultivators were not too worried.

Although evil spirits are troublesome, their elemental advantage is also extremely powerful.

"Reinforcements are coming!"

The cultivators on the spirit ship were all exhausted, but when they saw reinforcements, they all showed excitement.

In the midst of the chaotic battle in the sky, the moment they made contact, the cultivators pulled out talismans or magical artifacts and spirit weapons with opposing attributes.

Some directly exert restraint on the occurrence of certain types.

Fire and lightning spells flashed across the sky, and yang-attribute spiritual artifacts moved swiftly through the air.

Xu Lingfeng let out a cold shout, and with a flickering flame, he brandished a magical sword and engaged two of the Yin Spirit Beast Kings in battle.

Lu Yushu, this fake Core Formation cultivator, also held one end back.

The remaining two Yin Spirit Beast Kings and the ghost cultivator attacked Lin Chang'an and the Green Horned Ox.

"Moo!"

The Green Horned Ox let out a deep, angry roar, but Lin Chang'an stopped it from using its petrification ability, so it could only tread on air, creating ripples.

As the Green Horned Bull roared with its head raised, a pale golden magical shield emanated from its body.

Lin Chang'an stood atop the bull's head, wielding the Blood Fiend Sword, and with a wave of his hand, six sword beams swept out.

"mean!"

The ghost cultivator, hidden within the swirling yin energy, couldn't help but roar in fury.

Although this demonic beast is not good at dealing with evil spirits, its defense is truly outrageous.

The two early-stage Tier 3 Yin Spirit Beast Kings roared ferociously, their howls echoing through the air, yet they were unable to break through the magic shield.

They could only watch helplessly as Lin Chang'an unleashed beams of sword light that soared into the sky from a distance.

Although there were few human cultivators, they all used methods that countered the elemental advantage. In an instant, countless low-level Yin spirits let out miserable screams and turned into ashes.

"A spirit! A ghost cultivator!"

In the midst of the chaotic battle, Lin Chang'an, standing atop the Green Horned Bull, watched as the two third-tier Yin Spirit Beast Kings fought back and forth, and as ghost cultivators occasionally attacked from behind.

This surprised him slightly. He had hunted quite a few Yin Spirit Beast Kings before, but those commanded by ghost cultivators were completely different from those without.

"Unfortunately, the gap in strength can never be bridged."

Lin Chang'an smiled calmly, raised his hand and made a hand seal. Instantly, two fire dragons soared into the sky, illuminating the gloomy sky.

"Is this the spell cast by a Core Formation cultivator?!"

The Foundation Establishment cultivators fighting in the distance were also shocked by the fire spell that illuminated the sky with a mere wave of its hand.

Xu Lingfeng, being a Core Formation cultivator, saw things more clearly, but still couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment:

"Elder Lin is so proficient in fire magic!"

Under the blazing firelight, the lower-level Yin spirits instinctively showed fear, while some higher-level Yin spirits also became somewhat restless.

The two closest early-stage Tier 3 Yin Spirit Beast Kings roared furiously.

"Moo!"

A deep, resonant moo echoed through the firelight, instantly bursting out of the sea of ​​flames and crashing directly into a third-tier Yin Spirit Beast King.

The terrifying force, still powerful, crashed directly into the cliff below, instantly causing rocks to crumble and the ground to shake violently.

"not good!"

All of this happened in an instant. However, the moment the Green Horned Bull unleashed its power, the ghost cultivator in the distance shrank his pupils because he had not noticed the cultivator from before.

"Go to hell!"

As the large-scale fire spell was being cast, Lin Chang'an transformed into a beam of light and disappeared underground, then instantly descended from below.

Lin Chang'an used the Five Elements Escape Technique perfectly at this moment.

"Mid stage of pill formation!"

The moment Lin Chang'an appeared, a terrifying sword light swept upwards, causing the ghost cultivator to change his expression and become shocked.

From the very beginning, Lin Chang'an concealed his cultivation level, revealing an aura that was only at the early stage of Core Formation.

If he had known from the beginning that there was a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator among this group of cultivators, he would never have fought them.

"You want me dead? No way!"

Faced with Lin Chang'an's attack, the ghost cultivator revealed a ferocious expression and then let out a deafening ghostly howl.

"Psychic attack!"

Although his spiritual sense had reached the peak of the mid-stage of Core Formation, Lin Chang'an still couldn't help but feel somewhat dazed when faced with a rare spiritual attack.

The terrifying sword light he himself unleashed began to become illusory and unstable under this powerful divine sense attack.

"Roar!"

The moment he launched his divine sense attack, the ghost cultivator did not hesitate and immediately transformed into a streak of light to escape. At the same time, he did not forget to command other Yin Spirit Beast Kings to attack Lin Chang'an.

"This is no ordinary ghost cultivator!"

The fact that this ghost cultivator could make him, who possessed the peak of the mid-stage Core Formation realm, feel disoriented suggests that although his strength was only at the early stage of the third rank, his spiritual sense was not at the late stage of Core Formation, making him nearly equal to him.

"Go to hell!"

With a wave of his hand, Lin Chang'an unleashed six solid sword beams, the sword shadows following his will.

The six sword beams, with power comparable to a strike from a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, swept past with a whoosh.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and the situation on the battlefield changed.

The ghost cultivator tried to escape, but the evil spirits frantically tried to stop him.

Quite decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

"Roar! I won't let you get away with this!"

From the fleeing ghostly mist in the distance came a shrill roar, clearly indicating that Lin Chang'an's six sword beams had caused great damage.

"magic weapon!"

Lin Chang'an, who was closest, saw clearly through the ghostly mist using his spiritual eye.

His own six sword beams were extremely powerful, but his opponent had a magical treasure to protect him, so his fatal blow missed.

"Roar!"

A Yin Spirit Beast King attacked, but Lin Chang'an did not pursue the ghost cultivator. Instead, the Blood Fiend Sword magic weapon in his palm suddenly blazed with bloody light.

Greatsword Technique.

With the enhancement of the Greatsword Technique, the magical artifact transformed into a giant sword ten zhang in size, which pierced directly towards the abdomen of the Yin Spirit Beast King that was blocking its way.

As the mournful roar echoed, the spirit beast king's body, unwilling to accept its fate, gradually turned into ashes.

"Moo!"

Meanwhile, in the distance, rocks tumbled down from the cliffs, and the Green Horned Ox strode out with an air of arrogance.

Although he couldn't suppress the Yin Spirit's attributes without using petrification, the Yin Spirit Beast King was still killed by his overwhelming power. The battle ended quickly, and countless Foundation Establishment cultivators wiped away their sweat of tension, while also looking at Lin Chang'an with envy.

With a wave of his hand, he obtained two early-stage third-tier Yin Spirit Demon Cores. One was from the one he had killed, and the other was spat out by the Green Horned Ox.

At the same time, the frugal Lin Chang'an did not forget to take out the jade box to collect the Yin spirit ashes from the two fallen third-tier Yin spirit beast kings.

"Quickly, everyone be on alert and prepare to retreat at any time."

After the remaining spirits scattered, Lu Yushu, panting heavily, flew directly to the spirit ship and began directing the departure from there.

The ghost cultivator fled, and two of the five Yin Spirit Beast Kings were killed by Lin Chang'an and the Green Horned Ox; the rest escaped.

"Damn it, if we had waited another quarter of an hour, this Yin Spirit Beast King would not have been able to escape."

Xu Lingfeng sighed somewhat unwillingly, but still did not pursue.

If they pursue now, they are indeed very confident of killing a third-tier Yin Spirit Beast King, and they can also obtain a third-tier Yin Spirit Demon Core.

But pursuing them means facing unknown dangers.

The person present wasn't a shrewd individual who had lived for hundreds of years; they naturally understood the priorities.

"Fellow Daoist Lin!"

This time, Lin Chang'an's cultivation at the mid-stage of Core Formation drew admiration from countless people, and Lu Yushu even bowed respectfully.

His pseudo-core cultivation level is completely different from Lin Chang'an's.

I can only say that, with my nascent elixir cultivation level, I am barely qualified to be called a fellow Daoist.

"The evil spirit has escaped; let's leave this place quickly."

Lin Chang'an had no intention of giving chase, and naturally the others wouldn't either.

Immediately afterwards, everyone landed on the spirit ship and began to leave the island, heading towards the outside of the Ghost Realm.

Lin Chang'an, who was standing at the bow of the ship, looked somewhat solemn, but then for some reason, he suddenly revealed a smile.

"Got you!"

Upon entering the battlefield, Lin Chang'an activated his avatar.

Each avatar possesses 30% of the original's strength. With Lin Chang'an's current strength at the mid-stage of Core Formation, the avatars already possess the strength of the early-stage Core Formation.

He intended to keep it just in case, since he naturally didn't want to reveal his supernatural ability unless absolutely necessary.

Unexpectedly, after seeing this ghost cultivator on the island, he changed his mind.

……

In the gloomy sky, a golden light flashed, filling countless evil spirits with instinctive fear.

"Damn it! I'm not reconciled!"

The fleeing ghost cultivator, now in a sorry state, stared in shock and anger at the three masked early-stage Core Formation cultivators, each wielding the Sun-Piercing Divine Sword.

Meanwhile, the group of spirits he was leading was being devoured by the phoenix bird in the distance.

"Go to hell!"

The terrifying Sun-Piercing Divine Sword, radiating the flames of death, caused the ghost cultivator to let out a resentful roar.

He's lived for almost a thousand years, and he still doesn't want to die!
In particular, ghost cultivators have no chance of reincarnation; once they die, they disappear from the world forever.

However, just as the Sun-Piercing Divine Sword pierced through his body, several golden lights suddenly flashed, and the ghost cultivator's eyes widened instantly, his pupils revealing a look of terror.

Several golden talismans were affixed to his body and head.

Third-tier, mid-grade, mind-stabilizing talisman

"Old ghost, stop struggling. Even if you have the divine sense of the late stage of Core Formation, you can't break free from five mid-grade third-level spirit-stabilizing talismans."

Lin Chang'an's clone sneered. He had gone to such great lengths, even risking exposing the Phoenix Cry Bird, not for these few Yin Spirit Demon Cores.

Lin Chang'an's three avatars raised their palms and placed them on the ghost cultivator's head.

The ghost cultivator's eyes were filled with ferocity, resentment, and venom. He knew that this human cultivator was after his ghost cultivation techniques and even the secrets of Yin Soul Island.

However, he was immobilized by the mind-stabilizing talisman, his soul imprisoned, rendering him speechless. His powerful late-stage Core Formation divine sense had met its nemesis at this moment.

The truth is, although this mind-stabilizing talisman is useless, it is particularly effective against yin spirits and ghost cultivators.

"Heh heh, juniors, don't even dream about it. My soul is bound by a restriction set by the transformed Yin Spirit Beast King. You can forget about it..."

Although he could not speak, the ghost cultivator still let out a wild, unwilling laugh the moment Lin Chang'an invaded his consciousness.

It's impossible for the other party to do it, unless...

However, the ghost cultivator's soul became dazed the next moment, and the avatar of Xuan Tian Xian Ye also possessed the ability to detect.

At the same time, the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine completely ignored these so-called divine soul restrictions.

A torrent of terrifying memories appeared intermittently.

In the dark, sunless underground world, the cruel and tyrannical roars of the transformed Yin Spirit Beast King tormented them daily with revenge, causing them unbearable pain.

Six hundred years of torment, unable to live and unable to die.

The external avatar is connected to the main body's divine consciousness, and this memory appears simultaneously in Lin Chang'an's main body's sea of ​​consciousness.

After a while, the ghost cultivator slowly turned into ashes, and the phoenix bird, having eaten its fill, let out a long, satisfied cry.

The three clones' divine senses were clearly somewhat weakened, and they then transformed into streaks of light and headed back towards their main body.

The clone and the original body cannot be too far apart.

……

On the spirit boat.

"So that's how it is. No wonder the powerful Yin Soul Sect disappeared so suddenly."

At this moment, Lin Chang'an rubbed his temples wearily. As expected, reading the divine sense of a cultivator with strong spiritual power was quite difficult.

The reason he was able to read Blood Fiend True Man's memories was because the other party had been dead for a long time, and what he obtained were only fragmented memories.

"So this was originally a late-stage fourth-tier transformed Yin Spirit Beast King. No wonder it attracted so much attention from the Yin Soul Sect!"

Through the ghost cultivator's memories, he also gained a general understanding of the causes and consequences of the Yin Soul Sect's demise.

Six hundred years ago, two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Yin Soul Sect joined forces to capture this wounded late-stage fourth-order transformed Yin Spirit Beast King.

It is equivalent to the strength of the late Nascent Soul stage, which is why the Yin Soul Sect spared no effort to refine this Yin Spirit Beast King into a sect-protecting spirit.

While the entire sect activated its protective array to refine the essence, no one expected that a traitor within the sect would secretly feed the Yin Spirit Beast King a Azure Fruit.

"It's actually a Azure Fruit!"

This is a legendary spiritual fruit; whether it's a demon beast or a cultivator, consuming it will cause them to enter a state of frenzy.

Even the azure flower is extremely rare, let alone the fruit.

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed.

From clues such as the Yin Spirit Beast King being trapped in the darkness and occasionally cursing the two palace masters of the Azure Sea Palace, it is not difficult to deduce the truth.

The shadow of the Bihai Palace is behind this.

After consuming the Azure Fruit, the late-stage fourth-tier transformed Yin Spirit Beast King went berserk, and the once incomparably powerful Yin Soul Sect perished.

"Whether it's the Azure Flower or the Azure Fruit, both have extremely strong side effects. Even if you survive, your essence will be severely damaged, and your cultivation level will inevitably drop."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but mutter to himself, no wonder those ghost cultivators in the secret realm were living such miserable lives.

It's understandable, really. The beast king, who had transformed into a Yin spirit, was tricked by human cultivators and was trapped on this island connected to the Yin veins.

Even his very essence was damaged, and his strength plummeted to the mid-stage of the fourth rank. How could he not hate him?

"These things are not important; what matters is the legacy of the Yin Soul Sect!"

On the spirit ship, Lin Chang'an sighed inwardly. It seemed that obtaining the Yin Soul Sect's inheritance wouldn't be so easy.

When the Yin Soul Sect was wiped out, all the cultivators died, and only a few ghost cultivators survived by chance.

But there aren't many left; they're still suffering on the island. This one is just lucky.

"It seems that my idea of ​​obtaining the Yin Soul Sect's inheritance through ghost cultivation has fallen through."

Lin Chang'an sighed softly; in fact, he had been prepared for this for some time.

This transformed Yin Spirit Beast King possesses intelligence no different from that of a cultivator. Although it has a soul restriction to control ghost cultivators, it is not impossible for it to be targeted by other Nascent Soul cultivators.

How could they possibly release those ghost cultivators from the Yin Soul Sect? It would be better to imprison them on the island so they could vent their frustrations from time to time.

"The core treasures of the Yin Soul Sect, and the inheritances of those two Nascent Soul cultivators, are gone for good, but the Yin Soul Sect did have several direct disciples back then..."

With a flicker in his eyes, Lin Chang'an gained a detailed understanding of the Yin Soul Island from the ghost cultivator's memories.

Although the cave dwellings of these direct disciples who have reached the Core Formation stage are occupied by various Yin Spirit Beast Kings for cultivation, there may still be some of their inheritance left behind.

The reason why the ghost cultivator didn't take it seriously was because ghost cultivators are different from ordinary cultivators; they can no longer cultivate some of the supernatural abilities they had in life.

"The Yin Soul Sect is a top-tier Nascent Soul sect. Even obtaining a portion of its inheritance would be extraordinary."

What Lin Chang'an coveted was the profound foundation of this Nascent Soul sect.

After all, he will be going to that secret realm in less than a hundred years, so he must do his best to improve his strength.

Of course, with the Ghost Realm guarded by the Transformed Yin Spirit Beast King, let alone him, even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn't dare to go there.

"Recently, there have been many methods of controlling ghosts on the island. If that's the case, does it prove that the Azure Sea Palace has even more advanced methods?"

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but smile.

Baoguang Pavilion has granted him so many privileges, so he might as well take advantage of them.

And it's also a good opportunity to buy some Yin Spirit Jade to refine bottles and store demonic energy.
