Mortal: Copying the entry, reborn as Linghu Patriarch

a year ago.

This Shadow Clan cultivator was one of the participants in the struggle for the Spirit Sword back then.

Having failed in the struggle, he secretly fled into human territory, where he possessed the body of a human cultivator and hid to survive.

"Ancestor, what exactly is it?"

Zen Master Jin Yue looked solemn and asked the question with his hands clasped in respect.

Mo Jianli pointed his finger, and a warm, luminous light of memory rose into the air, directly entering the sea of ​​consciousness of Linghu Qing and Zen Master Jin Yue.

Scenes appeared clearly.

First, it was by the Blackwater.

An unidentified floating corpse was discovered by chance by a Shadow Clan Nascent Soul cultivator on duty.

The cultivator examined the corpse and found a gleaming spirit sword deep within its dantian.

Five large characters are clearly engraved on the sword: Xuan Tian Zhan Ling Sword.

Upon seeing this, Linghu Qing couldn't hold back any longer.

That's so fake!

The Xuan Tian Zhan Ling Sword within his body was completely unadorned, clean and spotless, without a single inscription!

Does simply writing a name make it "Mysterious Heaven Spirit-Slaying Sword"?

The Shadow Clan Nascent Soul cultivator was overjoyed to obtain this treasure and harbored the intention to keep it for himself.

But the truth will eventually come out.

During a battle between clans, the spirit sword's whereabouts were exposed.

The scenes in my memory flashed by rapidly.

The battle was fierce, the underground river was stained with blood, and the strong arrived.

A peak Purple Shadow, equivalent to a late-stage Human Integration cultivator, successfully obtained the Xuan Tian Zhan Ling Sword and used it to search the soul of a Nascent Soul Shadow Clan member.

However, the matter caused too much of a stir and ultimately could not be kept from the Shadow Clan's Mahayana Ancestor.

Another great war broke out.

Knowing that the pressure from the Mahayana cultivator was insurmountable, the purple figure decisively abandoned the spiritual sword in its hand and took advantage of the chaos to escape, thus preserving a wisp of its soul.

among them.

The scene where Zi Ying injured a Shadow Clan Mahayana cultivator with her spirit sword was truly memorable.

Linghu Qing remained calm after reviewing all the memories.

However, it must be said that this fake sword is indeed well made.

Those unaware of the facts would surely assume that this is the genuine Xuan Tian Zhan Ling Sword.

"This sword possesses immense divine power, capable of injuring a Mahayana cultivator even at a higher level. It truly deserves to be called a top-tier Xuan Tian treasure in the Spirit Realm."

"Third on the Chaos Myriad Spirits Ranking, truly terrifying."

Zen Master Jin Yue was shaken and still felt lingering fear, so he slowly spoke.

He was merely a Nascent Soul cultivator and had never seen the treasures on the Chaos Myriad Spirits Ranking, so he assumed that this was already the power of a Xuan Tian treasure.

"Ancestor, this sword has now fallen into the hands of a Great Ascension cultivator of the Shadow Clan. If he were to use this treasure to invade the territories of both the human and demon races, we would be in grave danger!"

Zen Master Jin Yue raised his eyes to look at Mo Jianli, his expression solemn.

Mo Jianli's eyes were deep and his expression was somber. He shook his head.

"That shouldn't be possible."

"What if they run away?"

Unlike humans, other races are not as united.

Faced with the temptation of the Xuan Tian Treasure, even a Mahayana practitioner might very well abscond with it.

"The major super clans have been searching for the Xuan Tian Zhan Ling Sword for many years. Although blood sacrifice is now prohibited, there are no clues."

"If the Shadow Clan doesn't discover the Mysterious Heavenly Treasure, they'll probably have to sacrifice the surrounding minor clans to obtain the location of the Spirit Sword!"

"this!"

Zen Master Jin Yue felt a sudden tightness in his chest.

The atmosphere in the entire Elders' Hall was extremely oppressive.

Only a deep sense of unease remained in everyone's hearts.

Linghu Qing stood to one side, his thoughts racing, his mind filled with doubts.

Who forged the Xuan Tian Zhan Ling Sword?

Who threw it into the Shadow Clan's territory?

What is he trying to do now?

There must be a mastermind behind this.

Instantly, a guess popped into his mind.

Now everyone knows that the sword is in the Fengyuan Continent. If the Shadow Clan's affairs are exposed, it means that the sword will not appear anywhere else.

This is a good thing for other places.

It would be difficult to draw this conclusion if one did not know that the sword was fake.

But if you know it, it's easy to analyze.

Could it be that those people on the other side of Fengyuan Continent couldn't stand the search by the major powers and deliberately created this message to divert their attention?

Linghu Qing thought to himself, "That's very possible."

This event did not occur in the original work.

Because the information about the Xuan Tian Zhan Ling Sword was very clear from the beginning, and there were no gaps in the clues.

Han Li was chased and fled all over the Spirit Realm.

But they can't find it now, and a thorough search could very well break some people's spirits.

Linghu Qing composed himself, suppressing his shock and doubt.

What can he do even if he thinks about it?

But I can't say it out loud.

Mo Jianli pondered for a moment, then his expression returned to solemnity.

"This matter is of great importance, and I need to personally handle it."

He turned to look at Linghu Qing, his eyes softening and replaced by a hint of approval.

"Linghu Qing, you have uncovered the alien spy and made a great contribution. What kind of reward do you want from the Holy Island? Just name it."

"The ancestor can make the decision."

Linghu Qing bowed slightly, his posture humble.

"No need to be so formal."

"Your merits are sufficient; you may choose your reward as you see fit."

Linghu Qing was only being polite; upon hearing this, he quickly weighed his options.

My own skills are sufficient for the time being, and I have no shortage of other methods.

There are also ways to save one's life.

If it's a treasure that can withstand a Mahayana attack, I wonder if you'll give it to me?

Lingbao has a Taiji diagram with him.

What he lacks most right now is cultivation resources.

"I wonder if the seniors on Holy Island could sponsor some resources to help me break through to the next level of the Devouring Spirit Gluttony Technique?"

"this……"

Mo Jianli's composed expression froze instantly, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

He sighed helplessly, his tone full of resignation and admonition.

"Why!"

"Linghu Qing, you should no longer practice this technique."

"Do you know that the resources you need to break through from the early stage of Void Refinement are more than the total resources I accumulated from Qi Refining all the way to Mahayana cultivation!"

Linghu Qing opened his eyes slightly, his face full of surprise.

So many!

He had long heard that the Devouring Spirit Gluttony Technique was incredibly costly in the long run, but he never imagined it would be this extreme.

No wonder almost no one practices this technique.

For humans, it's almost like a chicken rib (meaning something useless).

Ordinary cultivators simply cannot afford to support this bottomless pit of resource consumption!

Seeing his shocked expression, Mo Jianli gently comforted him.

"You need not regret it. Once you have mastered the basics of this skill, you will be endowed with the Gluttonous Body, which can enhance your physical body, talent, and comprehension in all aspects."

"It's not a loss to exchange those resources for a better physique."

"However, the later stages are extremely cost-effective and not worth the effort, so don't be attached to them."

Linghu Qing remained silent for a moment, then slowly nodded: "This junior will consider it carefully."

"Um!"

"I have other important matters to attend to. Once you have decided on your reward, you can send me a message at any time."

Mo Jianli stopped trying to persuade her and spoke calmly.

He knew the nature of this skill well; any practitioner would not easily give up without personally experiencing that vast sense of despair.

He finished speaking.

He flashed away and disappeared into the air.

Linghu Qing and Zen Master Jin Yue bowed respectfully as they saw them off.

"Zen Master, when did True Man Lei Luo depart for the desolate wilderness? And where exactly did he go?"

Linghu Qing turned to look at Zen Master Jin Yue and asked seriously.

"Depart five days from now."

Zen Master Jin Yue replied, "At that time, Fellow Daoist Lei said he was going to the desolate Dark Water Marsh area."

Linghu Qing's brows furrowed suddenly, his worry growing stronger.
