Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 399 Raiding the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

After an unknown amount of time, the two people looked at each other in the misty, secret room.

【Lifespan: 281/872】

[Realm Level: Late Golden Core (55/100)]

Lin Chang'an felt the surge in magical power after the fusion within his body, and he couldn't help but be amazed that Yun Yao's Gui Water Demon Art was indeed a top-tier demonic technique.

It increased his cultivation level by about 10 points, directly saving him the effort of ten years of hard work.

You should know that once your cultivation reaches his level, it's extremely difficult to improve even a little.

Moreover, the primordial yin energy of the Gui Water Demon Art is still largely cleansing and purifying his golden core within his body.

The quality of the Golden Elixir, which had been solidified, seemed to be subtly improving once again.

"Brother Lin, the Sunflower Water Demon Art has another secret: the primordial yin it condenses has the effect of cleansing the golden core."

Yun Yao's face was flushed as she leaned against the only person who could make her feel safe enough to close her eyes and whispered softly.

This time, the two were driven by mutual interests, which naturally led to their relationship developing into a bond between them.

If it's from an emotional perspective, increasing the chances of achieving Nascent Soul is also Yun Yao's true feeling.

"I see."

Lin Chang'an was also amazed. No wonder the legendary Kui Shui Demon Art was said to be the supreme technique of the demonic path, but because of its great difficulty in cultivation, it had always been little known.

For example, the Xuan Yin Divine Fire, a top-tier demonic power, requires cultivation by a cultivator of the Kui Shui Demonic Art. It is conceivable that such a technique cannot be a simple furnace-type technique.

At this moment, he had a feeling that after digesting the power in his body, his golden core might be able to be upgraded to the immortal realm.

"However, Brother Lin, the cultivation technique you practice actually has the effect of cleansing the spiritual body."

Yun Yao's beautiful eyes shone with amazement, because the old demon needed him to condense the Xuan Yin Divine Fire with the Kui Shui Demon Art, and had given her a lot of cultivation materials over the years.

Her cultivation had long since reached the late stage of Core Formation, and her magical power could hardly advance any further.

However, this time she could feel that the magical power within her body was slowly solidifying, which was a qualitative change.

"I don't know the specifics of this technique either."

Lin Chang'an was also helpless. No matter what kind of cultivation method others practiced, at least they had the experience of predecessors.

He had to figure things out on his own, and if it weren't for his exceptional talent, who knows what might have happened.

He wasn't exaggerating when he said that the higher the level of a cultivation technique, the more difficult it is to master. Therefore, in the cultivation world, many techniques require prior experience.

However, he vaguely suspected that this effect was not due to the cultivation technique, but rather to the influence of the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine.

The two embraced, enjoying the brief tranquility before their parting.

Yun Yao, who usually presents herself as strong and heroic, let down all her guard this time and opened her heart to reveal her true feelings.

“Brother Lin, the Xuan Yin Divine Fire is more than enough for my Gui Water Demon Art. Moreover, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would need a hundred years to refine this Cold Flame.”

I simply don't have the time, but it would be of great help to you, Brother Lin.

Their lips touched, and the cool bead slid in. Lin Chang'an took a deep breath and absorbed the chilling flame into his abdomen.

"Ah."

The bond between the two was unspoken. Feeling the cold flames sealed within the lotus seed in his abdomen, Lin Chang'an took a deep breath.

The two gained tremendous treasures this time, treasures that would tempt even Nascent Soul cultivators to kill.

However, the two of them haven't managed to obtain any of the spiritual items needed for Nascent Soul formation.

"I didn't expect you to have such a great harvest this time, Brother Lin."

After the two poured out their hearts to each other, Yun Yao's beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration. The two of them were now incredibly wealthy.

"By the way, Brother Lin, we originally planned to flee to another country, but no matter where we went, the journey was extremely long. Fortunately, when we were retrieving the treasure in the inner hall, we also found a map of an ancient teleportation array."

Lin Chang'an also took out the ancient map he had obtained in this secret room.

"Yun Yao, if you stay in the secret realm, you must be careful. These are tips on breaking through traps and mechanisms, and you already used two Fire Spirit Orbs when you escaped..."

Lin Chang'an was naturally happy for Yun Yao, who was able to stay in the secret realm to cultivate—a great opportunity for her.

However, this doesn't mean there's no danger at all. It just means that without external factors, there's still plenty of time for Yun Yao to slowly explore.

Seeing Lin Chang'an's caring attitude, and the protective treasures and Nascent Soul cultivation techniques he gave her, Yun Yao couldn't help but smile and nod.
"Brother Lin, don't worry, I'm not stupid. After the secret realm closes, I'll first look for a few spiritual items that will help me form a Nascent Soul. I'll continue searching after I break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

"However, Brother Lin, you should go now. I can use my spiritual awakening to trigger the restriction ahead of time and teleport you out. The secret realm is not closed yet at this time..."

As she said this, a chill suddenly rose in Yun Yao's beautiful eyes, followed by a gloating smile.

"I was originally thinking of finding an opportunity to go with Brother Lin, but now it seems I can only ask Brother Lin to help me collect some interest first."

Then Yun Yao explained the array formations and various mechanisms on the sacred island of the Xuan Yin Divine Sect, and even gave him a jade token.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'an was also tempted; this was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

With the Old Demon Xuan Yin gone, if we could loot Xuan Yin Island clean, we could definitely become incredibly wealthy. Even though he fled to another country, he still has a substantial fortune.

All you need to do is focus on cultivation and then find the spiritual object for Nascent Soul formation.

After a while.

After the magic spells in the inner chamber were cleared, the two emerged.

"Master, Mistress!"

Upon seeing Lin Chang'an and Yun Yao emerge together, the sword attendant who had been protecting them respectfully rose and bowed.

Looking at the sword attendant this time, Yun Yao smiled generously, a glint of light flashing in her beautiful eyes. The Heavenly Spirit Sword Body was truly an enviable spiritual body.

However, since Brother Lin has Ling'er, she can find a few more spiritual items to help him successfully form his nascent soul.

"By the way, Brother Lin, before entering the secret realm this time, I made a deal with Fellow Daoist Ni Chang and I owe her a big favor."

If you have the chance, Brother Lin, please convey my gratitude to me after you leave. I will certainly repay this kindness in the future.

Just then, a hurried sound came from outside the secret chamber. The three of them immediately tensed up, as they could clearly see outside through the illusory image of the powerful hall.

"Run! These Nascent Soul stage demons have gone mad!"

"Cough cough, let's go!"

The two Core Formation cultivators stumbled through, completely unaware that behind this ordinary wall lay a secret chamber.

Upon seeing this, Yun Yao's expression turned even more serious.

"Brother Lin, let's hurry, there are only three days left before the secret realm closes."

Both of them were cultivators who had cultivated for hundreds of years, and they were not indecisive people. Moreover, this was also Yun Yao's opportunity.

However, just before leaving, Lin Chang'an saw the Buddhist script on the wall. Although he couldn't understand it, his instinct told him that anything left in the place where the Nascent Soul monk had passed away must be a good thing.

Therefore, he memorized everything and planned to copy it onto a jade slip and keep it for future use.

The reason they didn't remove the Buddhist texts was to avoid breaking the protective seal of the secret chamber.

"Mother!"

The sword attendant also looked solemn after learning the news.

"When we meet again, Brother Lin, I will have become a Nascent Soul cultivator. At that time, no one will be able to control our lives."

Under Yun Yao's unwavering gaze, the three of them raised their hands and intertwined their fingers.

The next moment, a spatial fluctuation triggered the restrictions within the secret realm, and Lin Chang'an and the sword attendant were instantly teleported away in a blur.

In the secret room illuminated by the Buddha's light, only Yun Yao remained.

Alone, Yun Yao took a deep breath and her eyes gradually hardened as she looked at herself once again.

"Brother Lin, this secret realm is related to our chance to attain enlightenment. Wait for me!"

……

Under a clear and sunny sky, the sea roared with waves.

Just then, a streak of light flashed, and Lin Chang'an swayed as he appeared on a reef. "Finally out!"

Upon seeing the light of day again, Lin Chang'an felt the familiar sea breeze and couldn't help but smile.

The gains from this expedition within the secret territory were undoubtedly enormous.

The Buddha's Light Relic and the Vajra Pestle are two Nascent Soul level treasures, as well as the Yin Spirit Fruit that can help him break through the bottleneck of his divine consciousness.

But these are not the most precious things.

The Ice Lotus Frost Flame, a frost flame sealed within a lotus seed that blooms in the shape of a lotus flower, is a treasure that even Nascent Soul cultivators would fight tooth and nail for.

"Such a rare and precious treasure is truly beyond comprehension."

Not to mention that they also plundered a lot of resources in the secret realm. However, when Lin Chang'an raised his head, he squinted in the bright sunlight.

"The secret realm is not closed yet, and these old demons are still inside. Just as Yun Yao said, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

However, the priority should be to reunite with the sword attendant first.

After the secret realm ends, all creatures not belonging to the secret realm will be automatically teleported out.

The teleportation range is random, covering a distance of thousands of miles outside the secret realm.

For example, he and the sword servant teleported at the same time but were not together.

Of course, every time a secret realm opens, there will always be some people who want to try their luck, secretly hiding in the sea area thousands of miles away, waiting for their prey to come to them.

"The sword servant is only two hundred miles away from me."

Looking at the compass in his palm, and seeing the location of the sword servant, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but smile. The next moment, he transformed into a streak of light and headed towards the sword servant.

……

Two days later, at the Holy Island of the Xuan Yin Divine Cult.

After disguising themselves, Lin Chang'an and his sword attendant appeared on the infamous Demonic Cult Holy Island in the Demonic Beast Sea Abyss, wearing black cloaks and carrying the identity jade token given to him by Yun Yao.

“Master, there are only three Core Formation cultivators on the island, and their cultivation levels are not high.”

The island of this demonic sect was not gloomy at all; on the contrary, it was filled with spiritual energy, like a fairyland.

Spirit ships were docked at the port, and many disciples of the Xuan Yin Divine Sect were engaged in trade, but the goods they traded were bloody cultivators and various demon beast resources.

"The Xuan Yin Divine Sect has an extremely wide influence in the outer seas, mainly engaged in the trafficking of cultivators and the trade of demon beast resources."

Lin Chang'an, with a calm expression, strode towards the center of the Divine Sect with his sword attendant. His strong confidence stemmed from the fact that the Nascent Soul old monster was still in the secret realm.

Moreover, after today, he thought that the Xuan Yin Old Demon would probably have to hide for a while.

"Fortunately, the island of the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect is not far from the place where this secret realm is opened, only two days' journey away."

As for the fact that the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect's main island only has three Core Formation cultivators, this is mainly thanks to the Xuan Yin Old Demon.

For the past three hundred years, in order to plot the Ice Lotus Frost Flame, the old demon has devoted a great deal of resources to cultivating cultivators who practice the Gui Water Demon Art.

Naturally, other people will have fewer cultivation resources.

"However, there is one more thing, which is that the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect has spread its operations quite far. Some of them are out there robbing people, while others are in charge of other businesses."

However, the better the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect was managed, the brighter the smile on Lin Chang'an's face became.

This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, especially with the jade token of the Holy Maiden Yun Yao, which allows direct access to many forbidden areas within the Demonic Sect.

While the outer perimeter of the island is thriving, the interior remains shrouded in gloom.

Lin Chang'an, accompanied by his sword attendant, arrived at the cave where the Xuan Yin Old Demon was cultivating.

This is a cave dwelling built on the island's yin veins, half of which is submerged in water rich in yin energy, while the other half is exposed to the outside.

"Before entering the secret realm, this old demon personally bestowed this token upon Yun Yao in order to appease her, and even said that he would bring the possessed cultivator into the cave."

Under Lin Chang'an's strange gaze, he entered the gloomy cave with the jade token in his hand.

The cave was filled with dense Yin energy and various precious Yin-attribute spiritual plants and objects. Without hesitation, Lin Chang'an led his sword servant to loot everything in sight, heading straight for the old demon's treasure chamber.

However, they encountered a restriction before entering the secret room.

However, in assisting the Sixth Elder, Lin Chang'an used his escape technique within the secret realm, employing his external avatar ability to create his main body plus three clones.

The restriction was broken in less than two hours.

It's likely that the Xuan Yin Old Demon never imagined that while the island's protective formation remained intact and the array restrictions outside his own cave remained unbroken, the restrictions on his own treasure cave would be broken.

As a result, thanks to the array and restrictions of the cave, the destruction that occurred inside did not cause any disturbance outside.

……

Inside the secret room.

"As expected of a long-established and deeply rooted demonic sect!"

The secret chamber contained a multitude of treasures, but Lin Chang'an was mentally prepared for the fact that there were no Nascent Soul level spiritual objects or treasures at the Yuan Ying level.

After all, for a Nascent Soul cultivator, what could be safer than keeping their precious treasures on their own person?

Even if some Nascent Soul stage demons might set up some backup plans, they would do so in secret places, and would never place them in their well-known lairs.

"High-grade spirit stones, various materials for crafting treasures, as well as spirit fruits and plants..."

Lin Chang'an's eyes shone as he gazed at the rows of jade slips in the secret room; these were the most precious inheritances.

The next moment he quickly put it away, especially in the secret chamber where the old demon was in seclusion. On a sacred altar was a skull, and engraved on it were the techniques and supernatural powers passed down through generations of the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect.

Subsequently, the cave where the Xuan Yin Old Demon cultivated was subjected to an unprecedented sweep.

As for the so-called spirit body prepared for Yun Yao's possession, Lin Chang'an never saw it from beginning to end.

It's easy to imagine what would happen to someone in the Demonic Cult once they were no longer of any use.

……

On this day, as countless demonic cultivators were still on the sacred island of the Xuan Yin Divine Sect as usual, a sudden tremor came from the island.

"what happened!?"

"Oh no, something's happened at the altar."

"Our island protection formation has been destroyed..."

"Senior Brother Huang, have you gone mad? You're the Ancestor's personal disciple, how could you plunder the entire treasure vault..."

Amidst the chaos and turmoil, countless disciples of the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect witnessed firsthand the betrayal of their patriarch's personally taught disciple.

"Mysterious Yin Old Demon, today I, Huang, will collect some interest on behalf of the Li Huo Palace. When I reach the Nascent Soul stage, I will definitely refine you into a Yin Sha Corpse Puppet!"

Huang Tianxiao let out a long, unrestrained roar, then transformed into a streak of light and fled.

Of course, all of this was done by Lin Chang'an, who actually meant well.

“Fellow Daoist Huang, if the news of your insect demon is leaked without your knowledge, it would be bad if you were to return to this lair. No need to thank me.”

As Lin Chang'an transformed into a streak of light and sped across the outer sea, a gratified smile appeared on his face as he thought of this.

At this moment, he had forgotten the good deeds he had done, and appeared to be a person of noble character who did good deeds without seeking recognition.

He then looked down at the teleportation array map that Yun Yao had given him.

"The distance is manageable, but if this teleportation array becomes unusable, then we'll have to prepare for a long-distance escape."

Although Yun Yao would prepare a Nascent Soul Spiritual Object for him after breaking through in the secret realm, Lin Chang'an pondered for a moment and still felt that he couldn't let Yun Yao miss this opportunity.

Ideally, we should loot all the treasures within the secret realm.

Therefore, he decided that he also had to work hard. As long as he could form a Nascent Soul, the Soul Lamp he left for Yun Yao would also be able to manifest.
