Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 491 Ambush Sword Break
Winter has passed and spring has arrived, and all things are brimming with vitality.

【Lifespan: 424/2495】

[Realm Level: Early Nascent Soul Stage (81/100)]

After the sword servant stabilized his Nascent Soul realm, Lin Chang'an made some arrangements within the sect, instructing the disciples to send out the invitations.

Although most of the Nascent Soul cultivators are in Cloud City, it would be too unseemly for him to personally deliver them.

It would be best to send a disciple from within the sect.

In addition to notifying the major Nascent Soul factions, they also need to notify the various factions under their jurisdiction.

"At 424 years old, this age is considered young among Nascent Soul cultivators."

Of course, he couldn't compare to those geniuses who advanced to the Nascent Soul stage at around two hundred years old, and Lin Chang'an was well aware of this.

The cultivation world has never lacked geniuses; there have been those who advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage at over 500 years old.

"Although we can't compare to these geniuses, being faster in cultivation only has certain advantages. In the end, it all comes down to who goes further."

At this moment, atop Qingzhu Peak, Lin Chang'an gazed at the undulating clouds and mist among the mountains and couldn't help but smile.

"Owner."

Just then, the voice of the sword attendant came from behind, along with the honest moo of the Green Horned Ox in its true form.

"Let's go, it's time to return to Cloud City, otherwise this Alliance Leader Jin will get anxious."

Then Lin Chang'an smiled calmly. The Green Horned Ox stepped into the air with its four hooves, and its body transformed into a size of seven or eight zhang. Lin Chang'an stood on the ox's head, with his hands behind his back, gazing at the scenery between heaven and earth.

This time, the sword attendant stood behind him, his bright heterochromatic eyes equally captivating.

The fourth-tier great demon, the Azure Horned Ox, exuded a terrifying aura, majestic and extraordinary, braving the wind and waves as it traversed the sea of ​​clouds.

The figure in white robes on the bull's head was handsome, with a few strands of silver hair mixed in with the black hair tied up. Behind him was a female Nascent Soul cultivator dressed in dark blue.

Lin Chang'an's grand departure filled many disciples of the sect with longing and envy.

To roam freely between heaven and earth, such a consumption of energy is something only a Nascent Soul cultivator can achieve.

……

However, just as the Green Horned Ox was galloping towards Cloud City, Lin Chang'an suddenly felt a chill and narrowed his eyes.

"Owner!"

The sword attendant beside him clearly noticed as well. His face, which had been tense the whole way, suddenly furrowed slightly, and he slowly placed one hand on the hilt of the sword on his shoulder.

"Ling'er, it seems someone doesn't want us to reach Cloud City smoothly."

Lin Chang'an smiled calmly. The reason why the sword servant discovered it was because his soul merged with the red-clothed woman's, and he also inherited the Xuan Tian magic power.

Its perception was greatly enhanced, and it instantly sensed the surrounding aura closing in.

"Master, there are three people in total. Two of them have very strange auras; they are probably cultivators from the Spirit Beast Sect!"

The sword attendant frowned and calmly analyzed the situation. Although she had been asleep for most of the years, she could still see everything that the woman in red had seen.

Therefore, they are very knowledgeable about the outside world, especially about the war over the past forty years. This strange aura is usually only found among cultivators of the Spirit Beast Sect.

"They've come in all directions. It seems the demonic path isn't as prepared to end the war easily as it appears."

Lin Chang'an smiled nonchalantly, and the two transmission talismans between his fingers were already outstretched.

These two communication talismans were addressed to Senior Sister Bingdie and Jin Jianchuan, respectively.

After all, problems have arisen here, and the demonic path might be plotting something. It's only right to remind Fairy Ice Butterfly to be careful.

As for Jin Jianchuan, they are now all members of the Protectorate Alliance, and their interests are intertwined, sharing both glory and loss.

Similarly, by discovering clues about the demonic path in advance and issuing warnings, one can earn merit and receive a larger share of the benefits in the future.

The moment the two transmission talismans transformed into streaks of light, the three Nascent Soul cultivators who had surrounded them immediately noticed it.

"It's bad, we've been found out."

"Do it!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the three Nascent Soul cultivators unleashed a terrifying aura in an instant, no longer bothering to conceal their power.

At the same time, the three of them each summoned several blood-red array flags, and in an instant, a huge barrier began to slowly rise.

"Moo!"

Now that he had discovered it, how could Lin Chang'an sit idly by and wait for his death? The first thing he did was to let out a roar and transform his body into the size of a hundred-zhang mountain.

The giant axe in his hand had already begun to be swung with all his might.

"Take this from the old ox!"

Amidst the resounding boom, the formation strangely began to shrink.

"Could this be the Spirit Beast Sect's Beast Suppression Formation?!"

The large array, which initially covered an area of ​​dozens of miles, began to shrink in an instant. This familiar feeling of suppression reminded Lin Chang'an of the intelligence from the Spirit Beast Sect.

"Indeed, this is the Beast Suppression Formation of my Spirit Beast Sect. Although your strength is formidable as a fourth-tier Great Demon, how much of your combat power can you unleash under this formation?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Now that we've held this transformed demon back, it's time for us to make our move."

The three Nascent Soul cultivators of the demonic path moved strangely, yet their hands never paused.

Within the blood-red beast-suppressing formation, suddenly, blood-red magical chains rattled and emerged from the barrier and the ground.

The Green Horned Bull, which used to be ferocious with its huge size, was extremely frustrated at this moment.

"Moo!"

As the Green Horned Bull roared, a white beam of light shot out from its mouth and nose, instantly petrifying any magical chains that touched it.

"go with!"

At the same time, Lin Chang'an let out a cold shout, and a great sword light shone in front of him. Ten thousand sword beams transformed into long dragons and roared towards the barrier.

Both sides were decisive and efficient, and neither of them dragged things out.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, now is not the time for you to leave!"

The moment the barrier was shattered, an inexplicable force swept through, causing the world to spin, and Lin Chang'an's pupils shrank instantly.

"A fourth-order Yin-Yang Reversal Formation!"

Lin Chang'an couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. At the same time, the scenery around him changed. In an instant, all he could see was a red earth, and several earth dragons, each a hundred feet long, swept over.

"Haha, as expected of Lin, the array master, you can recognize this array at a glance. The three of us have not thought about what we can do with this array, but trapping Fellow Daoist Lin for a while should not be a problem."

As the earth dragon roared and swept across, Lin Chang'an smiled calmly. The Four Symbols Dragon Scale Armor emitted a faint spiritual light, and in an instant, the terrifying earth dragon ten feet in front of him disappeared.

The moment they came into contact with his protective aura, they seemed to lose their strength and began to disintegrate in a strange way, turning into quicksand that slid past on both sides.

"Dust-repelling bead!"

This scene caused the demonic cultivators' pupils to shrink, and the two from the Spirit Beast Sect couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Although they knew that the White Crane Fairy had given Lin Chang'an this wondrous pearl, when they actually encountered it, it somehow managed to neutralize their attacks, so it would be a lie to say they weren't annoyed.

"Owner!"

At this moment, a great sword light flashed in the distance. It was the sword attendant standing on the head of the green-horned bull. Her eyes were flashing with spiritual light, and sword beams were flashing in front of her.

"Sword Dao Divine Power!"

The three demonic cultivators' pupils constricted upon seeing this scene, even though they knew that the newly formed Nascent Soul cultivator was a sword cultivator.

But for someone who has just formed his Nascent Soul to be able to wield sword techniques so skillfully is something that not everyone can do.

"wrong!"

Suddenly, Lin Chang'an's expression changed, as if he had realized something.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Lin, now that we know of your supernatural abilities, do you really think we were unprepared?"

These demonic cultivators weren't fools; one of them even revealed a smug smile of triumph.

All that could be seen was earthen dragons roaring across the sky, stirring up a storm of dust, with howling winds and earthen dragons roaring like thunder.

The next moment, a fine, grating sound of metal scraping against metal rang out.

Suddenly, amidst the swirling yellow sand and wind, countless fine threads appeared, covering the entire space. The piercing friction sound came from the protective magic shield in front of Lin Chang'an, which is when he noticed it.

They were actually fine, dense threads, imperceptible to divine sense, and concealed by the swirling sand, making them virtually invisible.

Heavenly silkworm silk is as soft and resilient as silk, yet it can cut through iron like mud. The silk blade leaves no visible marks where it passes, and it can easily damage or cut even ordinary magical artifacts.

Its sharpness is no less than that of the sword energy transforming into silk in swordsmanship.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, come down!"

As a roar echoed, the earth suddenly rumbled, and a hideous, yellowish-brown spider, about seven or eight feet long, appeared.

Its tail was also dragged by thousands of silkworm threads, which pulled him down like a net.

With a thud, Lin Chang'an landed on the ground; all of this happened in the blink of an eye.

"Owner!"

The sword attendant in the distance let out a cold shout. She wasn't worried about her master, after all, she had enough confidence in her master's strength.

However, Lin Chang'an remained calm and coldly ordered, "You and the Green Horned Ox, attack the Qian position in the north!"

"As expected of the renowned fourth-tier array master of the Guardian Alliance, he found the location of the array core in just a short time."

Lin Chang'an's quick understanding of this made the three members of the demonic path somewhat wary.

……

The Yin-Yang Reversal Formation was unpredictable, and amidst the swirling yellow sand, no one could be seen in an instant.

However, at this moment, Lin Chang'an looked solemn as he was bound to the ground by countless silk threads.

"Divine sense cannot detect it, and even the spiritual eye cannot see through it."

As Lin Chang'an held his breath and concentrated, the voices of two Nascent Soul cultivators came from all around.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, this Heavenly Silkworm Silk is a treasure of our Spirit Beast Sect. It is said that our ancestors were from the Spirit Control lineage, and it was only later that it fell into our hands."

The sounds seemed to come from all directions, and the near-fourth-tier demonic spider dragging the silkworm silk was merely a temporary measure.

"The Spirit Beast Sect is truly wealthy. They've already lost three Nascent Soul cultivators. I wonder if they can hold on if two more fall this time!"

Lin Chang'an sneered, but what responded to him was the binding of threads coming from all directions.

In an instant, the magical shield three feet away from him emitted a crackling sound, and visible threads began to cut into the magical shield.

"rise!"

A cold glint flashed in Lin Chang'an's eyes, and suddenly his body emitted bursts of terrifying solar essence fire. However, each of these threads suddenly exuded a chilling aura.

His solar fire was unable to melt these celestial silkworm threads.

"Well, it seems you really came prepared."

Lin Chang'an laughed in exasperation, but also felt somewhat helpless inside.

This is the downside of intelligence leaks. Even for powerful Nascent Soul cultivators, once their supernatural abilities and combat methods are revealed, the enemy will prepare countermeasures.

Of course, this situation only applies to powerful forces; ordinary independent cultivators do not have the resources and time for it.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Lin, it's best not to act rashly!"

Strands of silkworm silk bound Lin Chang'an like a net, leaving him standing on the ground with two deep pits where his feet had sunk, seemingly leaving him helplessly trapped.

"Yeah!"

However, Lin Chang'an sneered. Even his Solar Essence Fire was restrained; the preparations were truly thorough.

The two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Spirit Beast Sect, who were hidden within the formation, also had extremely solemn expressions. They had each transformed into a demonic creature with a human head and a spider's body.

"This Lin's magical power is terrifying. Even with the Ice Pearl providing energy, I'm afraid the Heavenly Silkworm Silk won't last long."

The two men looked wary. At the tail of their spider bodies, a spinning ice bead provided ice-attribute energy, which barely prevented the silkworm silk from melting.

"Damn it, let's use our trump card!"

"Severely injure this person!"

After exchanging a glance, the two men both showed solemn expressions. The next moment, they took out a black talisman and carefully offered a drop of their essence blood from between their brows onto the talisman.

In an instant, the black talisman emitted a terrifying aura.

At this moment, Lin Chang'an, who was bound by the Heavenly Silkworm Silk, suddenly sensed the danger, his expression changed, and his internal magic power surged.

boom!
One by one, the silkworm threads began to break, but the dust and sand still lingered in mid-air, and a sharp shriek suddenly tore through the deathly silence.

Under Lin Chang'an's astonished gaze, the sword energy, wrapped in a chilling sharpness, tore through the fabric with a sharp whistling sound, and converged into a long dragon of ten thousand swords that was attacking him.

"A sword cultivator's talisman treasure in the late Nascent Soul stage!"

At this moment, Lin Chang'an's pupils contracted. Only top sects that have been passed down for tens of thousands of years possess such profound knowledge and experience.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Lin, you have great insight. This is a talisman treasure condensed by a great cultivator who passed away a thousand years ago from one of the six sects of the Demonic Path."

Amidst the sandstorm, the two members of the Spirit Beast Sect also looked pained, as this treasure was extremely rare, even among the six major sects of the Demonic Path.

If it weren't for a surprise attack, the sect wouldn't have been able to produce such a treasure.

The myriad swords rang out in unison, arriving before Lin Chang'an in an instant. However, Lin Chang'an roared, and a powerful light suddenly erupted from his body.

"If a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator were to arrive in person, I might need to give way, but this is merely a talisman!"

Lin Chang'an let out a deep roar, and the sword light in front of him poured down like a storm, while the hard and thick magic shield made a dense cracking sound.

However, under such a dense barrage of attacks, even his terrifying magical shield began to crack.

It was as if a mirror was beginning to shatter, but what was shocking was that while an ordinary magical shield was only one layer, his was incredibly thick.

Although it shattered, the sword's edge pierced through it, but seemed to get stuck.

The sword energy almost covered half of the sky, like dazzling waves, with an astonishing momentum.

With so many sword lights rolling in at once, an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator simply couldn't withstand it.

"How can it be!"

However, Lin Chang'an withstood the attack, which shocked the two Nascent Soul demon cultivators hidden within the formation.

"Dual cultivation of Dharma and body! This Lin fellow is practicing dual cultivation of Dharma and body!"

The magic shield is so tough that only cultivators who cultivate both magic and body can achieve such a level.

"continue!"

Under the two men's wary gazes and angry shouts, the black talisman turned into ashes, but it also condensed into a black flying sword.

This sword is simple and unadorned, without any dazzling or eye-catching features; it blends directly into the torrent of sword energy.

"Got you!"

However, Lin Chang'an, who was blocking the sword energy, revealed a cold smile of triumph.

If these two don't unleash their powerful magic, it will be quite difficult to find their presence within this formation.

boom!
As the dense array of sword beams shattered, a simple, ancient black sword suddenly pierced through, unleashing a tremendous roar. The magical shield in front of Lin Chang'an was even pierced three-tenths of the way in.

Instead, the next moment, Lin Chang'an let out a deep roar, and the Four Symbols Dragon Scale Armor and his own magic shield burst into light.

The flying sword penetrated another three-tenths of an inch, but Lin Chang'an let out a cold laugh.

boom!
Amidst the terrified gazes of the two, Lin Chang'an roared, and suddenly his body erupted with golden light, revealing the terrifying golden body dharma form of a fourth-order body cultivator.

The sword light in front of him was shattered instantly.

However, Lin Chang'an's power remained undiminished, and at some point, countless sword lights appeared above his head.

"Fellow Daoists, it's my turn now!"

The two Nascent Soul cultivators from the demonic path, who were caught in the sandstorm, immediately showed expressions of shock and anger. It turned out that the sword energy released by Lin Chang'an had also been hidden in the light and shadow of the shattered sword light.

Using their own methods against them, the sword energy transformed into threads and enveloped the two of them without their noticing.

Above his head were countless sword beams, and the towering Lin Chang'an unleashed a soaring aura.
