In Douluo Continent, his martial soul mutated into Blue Silver Grass.

"This unfamiliar powerful figure is neither from our Magic Temple nor from the other five temples."

"He's not even affiliated with our Holy Temple Alliance! What an incredible person he is! He's cultivated to this level all by himself! It's unbelievable!!" Tan Wan exclaimed in surprise. She had always thought this powerful figure was a friend of her teacher!

"Yes, it's a pity that such a powerful figure has no affiliation. He doesn't seem willing to join our Magic Temple."

"Could he join another temple?"

"He won't!" Li Zhengzhi said the most undeniable words in the calmest tone.

"What, you don't believe your master?"

"No!" Tan Wan suppressed her curiosity.

Lin Hai left without a trace of regret. Well, we weren't close to begin with.

Having obtained what he wanted, Lin Hai did not return to Dream Paradise. Instead, he found a quiet place that was not within human territory.

"Magic belonging to this world!" Lin Hai's eyes showed a hint of emotion. Although Lin Hai could unleash attacks that resembled magic in this world, he knew that they were merely skills derived from another world.

"Magic!" Lin Hai opened the scroll and began to learn.

The foundation of magic is also sensing elemental power, and Lin Hai is now clearly at a level that is not only sufficient but also exceeds that level.

Lin Hai also had the necromancy left by Electrolux as a foundation, so he picked it up quickly.

It wasn't that Lin Hai didn't want to learn or use necromancy, but rather that he genuinely needed some more positive skills.

"~ ...

"Thor's divine punishment!!"

Whoosh! As Lin Hai finished chanting the last line, the lightning element energy in the air remained at its peak.

In the void, a phantom figure made entirely of lightning appeared, wielding a lightning spear, looking extremely imposing.

Even the Magic Temple, far away at Jialing Pass, felt this oppressive aura from afar.

"This feeling... is a forbidden spell!!!"

"Which divine being cast a forbidden spell outside the pass?!"

"Forbidden magic should not be used at this time."

Just as the various holy archmages and mages were puzzled, Li Zhengzhi, who was in the magic temple, also sensed the energy fluctuations of this forbidden magic.

"No way, it really is that kid? How long has it been? He can already use forbidden-level magic?!"

Li Zhengzhi did not hesitate for long; the next moment, he disappeared from the spot.

……

"It's the Palace Master!"

Not only Li Zhengzhi, but also the other eighth-tier Saint Magisters of the Magic Temple, and the remaining ninth-tier Archmages, all rushed out of Jialing Pass. Those below the eighth tier were forbidden from leaving the pass.

After all, compared to an eighth-tier holy mage or a ninth-tier magic god, a seventh-tier mage is relatively weak.

Just considering these eighth-tier holy magic masters and ninth-tier magic gods who broke through Jialing Pass, they are already an extremely powerful force.

Unless it's one of the top-ranking demon gods attacking, their power is already enough to dominate the battlefield.

"Hmm!" Li Zhengzhi nodded to these people.

Then Li Zhengzhi turned his gaze to Lin Hai, who was under that forbidden spell...

"It really is that kid!!" Li Zhengzhi was secretly shocked.

The other holy mages and magic gods who followed also noticed Lin Hai's figure.

The violent energy crashed down, obliterating all the trees and soil on the ground, leaving behind a huge crater.

"This kid has talent, but he's a bit careless about the environment!"

"Who is this person? I've never seen him before!"

"This figure seems to be the one that the Palace Master greeted a while ago."

"Truly worthy of being the Palace Master!"

"..."

The residual power of the forbidden magic was still present, and Li Zhengzhi flew directly to Lin Hai's side.

"How has Lord Li been lately?"

"Things haven't been going well lately. Someone just casually casts forbidden spells in front of my house. Anyone would feel uneasy about that!"

"Really? I'm just helping you intimidate the enemy!" Lin Haiyun said casually.

"..." Fine, you always have a twisted logic.

"Young friend, you have such talent in magic. Would you be willing to visit my Magic Temple again and exchange ideas?" Li Zhengzhi extended an olive branch once more.

"Oh? Are you sure?" Lin Hai looked at Li Zhengzhi with a half-smile.

Li Zhengzhi felt a chill run down his spine under Lin Hai's gaze.

Lin Hai didn't try to provoke Li Zhengzhi any further. He said directly, "There's no need for me to sit anymore. I have other things to do."

"If Palace Master Li needs to exchange anything more with me, I would be quite happy to."

"If not, then I will not keep you company for now." Lin Hai's decision not to stray too far from Jialing Pass was also intentional.

There are personal reasons behind this to some extent. As for what they are? Hmph.

In the end, Li Zhengzhi couldn't bring himself to say anything to persuade Lin Hai to stay. The story of Li Zhengzhi's three visits to Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage wasn't enough to make him do that; his status and position dictated his actions.

Lin Hai and Li Zhengzhi said their goodbyes and then left.

After Lin Hai left, the Holy Archmages and Divine Mages approached Li Zhengzhi. "Palace Master, is that your friend?"

"Not entirely!" Li Zhengzhi said with a chuckle.

"However, I believe he will become our friend in the future." Li Zhengzhi analyzed and judged that if a lone powerhouse like Lin Hai wanted to approach human society, he had too many options, including the six great temples. Whether it was the most powerful Knight Temple or the other temples, Lin Hai could go there.

But Lin Hai's first stop was their Magic Temple, which must mean that some of them had a favorable impression of their Magic Temple.

Li Zhengzhi's guess was not wrong. If Lin Hai were to use necromancy in the future, the Magic Temple would probably be the most accepting of him.

……

The Cave of Fear and Howl is located on the north side of the Demon Realm's central area. It requires venturing 2,300 miles into the Demon Realm and traversing four of its provinces.

This is where Lin Hai is headed. His strength is now sufficient, perhaps not enough to help Electrox, but enough to overcome Electrox's methods and reach the top of the Eternal Tower.

Lin Hai traversed the four provinces of the Demon Realm with ease. Naturally, some demons discovered him, given the sheer size of the demon race; it would have been difficult for Lin Hai to remain undetected while moving through their territory.

The low-level demons reproduce too quickly, which is also because the demon population is too large. That's why there have been countless demon attacks on human checkpoints in order to consume the excessive demon population. After all, demons don't engage in production and can't support so many demons.

"Great Demon Cavalry!" Lin Hai looked at the Great Demon Cavalry and Nightmare Horses that filled the area around the Cave of Fear and Howl!

The Great Demon Cavalry belong to the Demon race, which is the race of the necromancer god Samigina.

Samigina, the Necromancer, ranks fourth. His demon race is the second most powerful race among demons.

The fact that the demon army is stationed and patrolling here proves that the necromancer Samigina has already noticed the anomaly in the Cave of Fear and Howl.

Samigina, the necromancer, is the fourth-ranked demon among demons and possesses extraordinary power.

Despite being second only to the Dual-wielding Demons in overall numbers, the Demon race is not just a bunch of lowly demons who can only serve as cannon fodder.

It's important to know that beings ranging from minor demons to demon lords are numerous, and the ruler of the demon race is Samigina, the fourth-ranked necromancer among the seventy-two demon gods. Therefore, although the demon race is vast, it encompasses beings of all ranks, from lowly minor demons to the top-ranking fourth demon god.

The Demon race is incredibly powerful, second only to the Demon Emperor's Heaven-Defying Dragon race. Even the two Demon Gods, when compared in overall strength, are weaker than the Demon race.

The necromancer Samigina is known as the Demon Lord within his own race, and all demons obey his commands.

The reason why the demon race is powerful is that they are very good at evolution.

The Nightmare Horse is a unique Nightmare Horse of the Demon race.

The Nightmare Horse is entirely black with dark red stripes, and like other demons, it has two horns on its head and four hooves treading on fire. It is said that the most powerful Nightmares can advance to the ninth rank, and the mount of the necromancer god Samigina was a Nightmare King with the strength of a ninth rank.

"Such a patrol density." It seems the Necromancer Samigina takes this place very seriously!

"Whoosh—" Just then, a sharp whistle suddenly rang out without warning.

The piercing whistling echoed through the mountains, the howling of ghosts and wolves accompanied by a series of echoes, giving those who heard it a chilling feeling that made the hairs on their bodies stand on end.

This wasn't the only sharp, piercing whistle; one after another echoed through the mountains, growing increasingly intense. As the sound amplified, it seemed as if the mountains themselves trembled with each cry. The powerful sound waves even shook some loose rocks, producing an even more terrifying crashing sound.

The shriek lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour before gradually disappearing. Although it had no direct killing power, it was as terrifying as the might of heaven in these mountains.

"This shrill howl came from this cave of fear and lamentation. Such a howl is quite effective against those of low-level strength."

"Elder Yi's backup plan! As expected of Elder Yi!"

After that, Lin Hai took advantage of a gap in the demon cavalry patrol and entered the Cave of Fear and Howl. With his ninth-level strength, it was not difficult for Lin Hai to evade a group of fourth-level demons.

Lin Hai heard the second sharp whistle and flew towards the cave of fear and lamentation, facing the sound.

The cave was very dark, but this was not a big problem for Lin Hai. He spread his mental energy out, and the scene inside the cave was fully reflected in Lin Hai's mind.

Just as he had gone about two hundred meters ahead, the road ahead... ended.

A huge crack appeared before him, vertically downwards, with an unfathomable bottom below.

Lin Hai didn't stop; he leaped directly into the massive crevice. He knew that the even more powerful demons were within it.

Electrolux's power was sensed by the necromancer Samigina, who reported it to the Demon Emperor. The Demon Emperor also took notice of the situation and entrusted the entire responsibility to the necromancer Samigina.

Lin Hai flew through the air despite the shrill roar, and the sharp terrain had no effect on him whatsoever.

There are indeed demons inside the rift, but they are not as densely packed as outside.

Upon seeing them, Lin Hai immediately used his mental power to crush these demon soldiers.

The further inward one went, the stronger the shriek became, with its frequency fluctuations being much greater than those outside.

……

Just a few hundred meters in front of where Lin Hai was standing, there was an extremely open space, where a huge, cone-shaped cave was completely presented. The cave walls were as smooth as a mirror, reflecting a faint gray light, giving people a sense of unreality, as if in a dream, though it was deathly still.

The entire cave is over 150 meters high. Compared to this towering cave, the forest at the entrance of the crevice looks like a tiny ant.

Lin Hai calmly gazed at what was directly below him, and three thousand meters below him, there stood a tall tower.

It was a tall tower radiating a pale purple light and a dense gray aura. It was a seven-story tower, with a total height of over a hundred meters. It was ancient in style, with seven stories, four sides, and eight directions. It was a gray-white tower filled with deathly silence and terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations.

Around the tower, countless gray-white lights and shadows swirled, rushing towards it like moths to a flame, densely clinging to the gray-white energy emanating from the tower.

"A near-god-level artifact, the Tower of Eternity!!!" Lin Hai's eyes shifted.

"That familiar aura of death, Elder Yi~"

"I am coming!!"

Here, sharp whistling sounds filled with intense soul fluctuations, but they posed no threat to Lin Hai, who had already learned necromancy.

Without further hesitation, Lin Hai arrived at a large door of the Eternal Tower. The door was grayish-white, without any elaborate carvings or patterns, which alone was inconsistent with the relics of the High Elves. Moreover, above the door, there was a thick stone slab.

There are five ancient characters on it: "Eternal Sleep"!

Lin Hai took a closer look, then stepped into the ancient gate without hesitation.

The gate opened, and a dense, dark gray aura swept out from inside the tower. It was an extremely pure aura of necromancy, which had already materialized, and the rich necromancy aura rushed towards Lin Hai.

Lin Hai ignored the aura and continued walking forward, directly entering the Tower of Eternity.

"Welcome to the Eternal Slumber." After Lin Hai had fully entered the Tower of Eternity, an old voice suddenly rang out without warning.

"Old Master Yi!"

The voices came from all directions: "Being able to enter the Eternal Tower where I slumber proves you are an excellent necromancer, with a strength of at least the sixth rank. Child, you are fortunate to have come to our world of necromancers."
