Journey to the head

It turns out that when the True Man Chiyu passed on his teachings, Lin Le learned the "Golden Crow Great Evolution True Technique". Later, he also witnessed Zhao Kongque's supernatural powers and had already used the "Supernatural Power - Myriad Laws Profound Truth" to deduce and reproduce the Golden Crow Dharma Image.

Wang Yu shouted and swung his crescent-shaped longsword in a desperate chase, but he was sent flying behind and couldn't catch up. A sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.

The gap is too big! The inner demon Lin Le, fighting against many, suppressed all the renowned Golden Core elites of Yunshan Sect with his Nascent Soul level formation and endless secret techniques and supernatural powers!
"Hahahaha." Lin Le's face was also full of smugness.

Within, I cultivate the "Supreme Primordial Spirit Sea-Suppressing Divine Skill," making my dantian as vast as the sea and my spiritual power boundless; I cultivate the "Qian Yuan Meridian-Expanding and Spirit-Building True Technique," making my meridians incomparably resilient, and my spiritual power surging like a great river; I cultivate the "Divine Illumination Ascension Technique" and the "Clear Mirror Dust-Free Technique," forging my soul into something as strong as steel; I cultivate the "Dong You Kui Zhen Miao Zhi," mastering my spiritual power with meticulous precision, and every bit of power I use is accurate to the extreme.
Outside, I also mastered various schools and sects of wondrous and mysterious techniques, all of which were unparalleled and divine skills. From these, I derived all sorts of supernatural powers, which could be used at will and changed endlessly.

The profound skill is naturally achieved, and all methods are as desired!
The golden crow soared into the sky, its wings flapping to create billowing clouds of fire, and in the blink of an eye, it was about to break free of the encirclement.

But a streak of light flashed by! Dongfang Hui, who had just flown back, happened to block his way, swinging her double hammers to intercept him.

"Dongfang Hui! How dare you rebel against your superiors!"

Within the Golden Crow Dharma Image, Lin Le roared angrily, his eyes bloodshot as he glared fiercely. Dongfang Hui, already weak and timid, longed to stay away from martial arts combat. Hearing this roar, tears streamed down her face as she cried out in a sob, "Sect Leader Lin, I dare not, I dare not!"

She trembled and was about to retreat, her eyes darting around, when she suddenly saw Cui Linglong lying quietly in An Fanghe's arms in the distance.

Sister Linglong.
She and Cui Linglong have a close relationship; they are best friends and even address each other as sisters in private, disregarding seniority.

Now, Linglong, who was always cheerful and generous, who had always taken care of and encouraged her, was bleeding from all seven orifices, her clothes completely stained red.

In that instant, boundless grief filled her chest, and Dongfang Hui let out a scream she had never heard before. The golden core within her dantian trembled violently, and without thinking, she immediately activated her supernatural powers.

From the depths of the darkness came a terrifying and ferocious roar!

A gigantic phantom leaped out from behind Dongfang Hui, placing its sharp claws on her thin shoulders and injecting boundless, monstrous strength into them.

With a body resembling a lion, wearing the armor of a unicorn, a wide mouth and huge eyes, a flowing golden mane, front paws like an eagle, and hind paws like a tiger, it is none other than the divine beast Golden-haired Hou!
The Golden-haired Hou was insatiable with its appetite and immense strength. It especially loved the flesh of dragons and was extremely skilled at capturing them. In ancient times, three dragons and two jiaos fought against one Hou, but the Hou turned the tables and killed one dragon and two jiaos, devouring their flesh and bones.

This is the Golden Elixir Divine Power that Dongfang Hui achieved by integrating the "Eight-Armed Heavenly God Dragon-Capturing Technique" with her own miraculous talent.

Supernatural Power: Hou Devours Dragon!

The golden-haired beast roared angrily, its monstrous strength shaking the heavens and the earth.

With her graceful and delicate figure, like a lady from a noble family, Dongfang Hui gripped two giant hammers as big as small mountains. Behind her, four arms formed from condensed qi suddenly opened, each holding a silver mace, a steel whip, a giant axe, and a spiked club. With a thunderous roar, they swung them down on the Golden Crow Dharma Image.

Such immense force caused even the space around it to tremble slightly!
A burst of blue fire exploded, and the Golden Crow Dharma Image crashed down like a meteor.

Dongfang Hui was also thrown away, her body covered in black soot and flames, severely burned, and she completely fainted.

The next moment, the thunderous sound of cannon fire resounded through the sky, and Biluo Peak trembled.

That was An Fanghe directing the Weiyuan and Zhengyuan spacecraft to open fire!

Hundreds of blue and red meteors, interspersed with countless lightning balls, relentlessly bombarded the place where the golden crow had fallen.

A series of deafening explosions erupted, and massive waves swept outwards, shaking the heavens and the earth. Rocks on Biluo Peak crumbled, and waves crashed against Baolian Lake, destroying most of the lotus flowers that filled the lake.

"Senior Brother Lin!"

Wang Ruoyu's worried shouts escaped her lips.

However, amidst the billowing smoke and devastation, a dazzling white-gold light rose up, and Lin Le coughed up a mouthful of blood, struggling to fly up again!
At the last moment, he dispersed the Golden Crow Dharma Form and activated the Indestructible Golden Body once again.

Wang Yu gritted his teeth, gripped his crescent-shaped longsword, and charged forward.

His roar was like thunder: "Unless I die today, you will not leave!"

Looking at Wang Yu, who had raised six arms and whose corpse was filled with spiritual energy that rose into clouds, and the floating ship that had begun to form an array in mid-air and sprinkle starlight, Lin Le, whose spiritual energy had been depleted by more than half again, finally panicked.

We can't delay any longer; Yanmei might return at any moment!

The Shenzhou once again unleashed a barrage of lightning and fire, which Lin Le once again dodged with his Mirror Flower Water Moon technique. Then, the Vast Sea Star Array condensed into streaks of starlight, some resembling javelins, others moon blades, and still others giant nets.

Lin Le lost the array diagram and frequently used Mirror Flower Water Moon to dodge and evade, but eventually paused slightly amidst a series of explosions. His long sword swept through the snow and slashed at him in the blink of an eye!

In that instant, Lin Le subconsciously unleashed his mental power, and the spell burst forth.

The sky and earth were completely dark!

A cold white light blasted into Wang Yu's mind, knocking him into a daze. He fell to the ground, his sword light scattering.

But before Lin Le could even rejoice, his inner demons surged. Deep within his sea of ​​consciousness, Lin Le's true self, who had been relentlessly suppressed and imprisoned within the cracked mirror palace, sensed a violent fluctuation in his mental power. A barely perceptible gap appeared in the core power that had been maintaining the mirror palace!

It's now!

Lin Le roared hysterically, no longer holding back or having any reservations. He transformed all the anger, worry, regret, and obsession he had felt since being imprisoned and witnessing his fellow disciples being harmed into a pure, all-consuming torrent of will!

"Open it!!!"

Boom! ! !

A deafening roar, seemingly capable of splitting the heavens and earth, that only the inner demon Lin Le could hear, exploded violently in the deepest part of his consciousness!

The prism palace that imprisoned the true self, forcibly constructed using the "sudden method" of the Mirror Palace Binding Ape Technique, shattered with a deafening roar!

"what!"

Having finally defeated Wang Yu, Lin Le, the inner demon who was about to flee again, suddenly stiffened and let out a shriek filled with extreme chaos and madness.

A phantom image appeared on his face, a twisted, intertwined, and overlapping manifestation of his inner demons and his true self. At times, it was as ferocious as a demon, at others as painful as suffering, and at still others as bewildered as a child.

At this moment, within this body, the inner demon Lin Le and the original Lin Le broke the strange balance and merged together once again, falling into chaos.

He finally returned to the state of a cultivator going astray, his chaotic mind making a final struggle, but if he could not discern his true nature and clear his mind, he would die from the soul devoured by his inner demons!

Lin Le clutched his head and struggled painfully in mid-air, a chaotic aura emanating from his pores.

"The sect leader is always right, and everything the sect leader says is the truth!"

"I am the most perfect successor to the sect leader. He passed everything on to me, including his true heart. That is my true heart!"

"No, no! The sect leader is wrong. He is empty and hypocritical. He can't keep going on with his vague ideals."

"Everyone has value, and individuals should be measured by their value! That's the reality!"

"Otherwise, tell me who we should save? Just say it! What's the use of just talking nice words!"

He rolled around, screaming in pain, letting out frantic shouts. The Yunshan disciples were terrified and helpless, not knowing what to do.

Wang Yu was in a daze and staggered. Wang Ruoyu and Zhao Kongque were exhausted and seriously injured. They struggled several times but could not stand up. Dongfang Hui was unconscious and motionless. An Fanghe held Cui Linglong in pain, unable to say a word.
Why did things turn out this way?

Stumbling and staggering, Lin Le continued to rush outwards. The Yunshan disciples, witnessing this scene, were filled with fear and despair; their spirit cannons were no longer able to fire.

Although Lin Le went mad and did these wrong things, he is still our beloved and supported Sect Leader Lin!

"Who can save Sect Leader Lin!" a disciple suddenly cried out.

More and more disciples shouted and called out, their voices shaking the mountains and fields.

"Please save Sect Leader Lin! He can't be harmed!"

"Sect Leader Lin, wake up quickly! Don't be fooled by your inner demons!"

"Sect Leader Lin, you are the smartest person, how could you have gotten yourself into a dead end?"

"My God, is it only the sect leader's return that can save everything?"

"Sect Leader Lin"

But Lin Le ignored him, and his roar gradually turned into a murmur.

The black aura on his face grew thicker and thicker, and drops of blood began to fall from his seven orifices.

"What is right? What is wrong?" "Who is right, Sect Leader?"

A whistling sound!
A magical spear fell from the sky, creating a rolling wave of air in front of Lin Le.

Even amidst the utter chaos, Lin Le was instinctively startled and looked up.

With its entire body golden and wings shimmering with gold, the young roc with golden wings soars through the air.

Just then, a flying boat emerged from the Weiyuan Divine Ship. A tall, thin, pale-skinned young man stood inside the boat, holding a flying sword in his hand. His leaden gray eyes, like cold, tempered iron, looked at Lin Le.

Lee Seung!

Everyone was shocked. They stared blankly at the sect leader's disciple, who was only at the Qi Refining stage, yet dared to throw a magic weapon at Lin Le.

"Senior Brother Lin, you really disappoint me."

Li Sheng spoke calmly, stating the facts in his mind.

Stimulated by such a gaze, Lin Le covered his head again, but Li Sheng's next words suddenly exploded in his mind.

"Sect Leader, my master was indeed wrong!"

Lin Le stared blankly at Li Sheng. He heard the laughter of his inner demons deep within him. After being recognized, his power seemed to surge even higher. Moreover, the evaluation from Li Sheng, his personal disciple, was unparalleled in its persuasiveness.

"Why."

Li Sheng spoke coldly, his voice not loud, but it echoed in the clouds.

"His mistake was letting a fool like you inherit his mantle!"

Lin Le's eyes widened, a tightness gripped his chest, and more blood gushed from his lips.

Li Sheng's tone was unusually calm, yet it struck his very soul like a heavy hammer.

"Master described the ultimate goal and dream of the Yunshan Sect—that everyone should achieve their ambitions and fully utilize their talents. But you have taken this goal as a method! You have put the cart before the horse, how ridiculous!"

"Goals are meant to be achieved, and there are many paths to achieve them! Master has chosen the 'Way of Harmony and Benevolence' based on 'benevolence, righteousness, and trustworthiness,' and he has his own method of 'balance and dialectics'! If you don't understand it or feel it's wrong, then just walk your own path!"

"Can't you walk? Trying to force yourself to fit others' walks, like the man from Handan who tried to imitate the walk of the man from Handan—are you senile?"

"Your master asked you to inherit his mantle. That's inheritance, not copying. Do you even recognize those two words?"

"To insist on being exactly like your master, even to the point of going against your own heart, is truly a huge joke! You dare to call yourself the sect's top strategist? Do you even have a brain of your own?"

Lin Le suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, overwhelmed with shame and indignation. His confidence, pride, self-esteem, and perseverance were shattered!
I...I was wrong? The path of the sect leader isn't mine?

The inner demon let out an arrogant laugh; he could sense that Lin Le's resistance was rapidly weakening.

Li Sheng's eyes flashed with a cold, sharp light.

“Senior brother, you passed on your skills and taught me the ways of formations and incantations. I had great respect for you. But I never expected you to be so muddle-headed and incompetent, far inferior to me.”

Not as good as you.
Lin Le asked softly, "If you were in charge of Yunshan, what would you do?"

Li Sheng crossed his arms, while the golden-winged eagle circled overhead, letting out a cry that shook all the beasts.

"If I were to take control of Yunshan, I would act with absolute power!"

"No second voice is allowed in Yunshan. My will is the will of Yunshan."

"Yunshan exists only because of me. Where my sword points, Yunshan will follow."

"Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish!"

Lin Le was stunned for a moment, then said urgently, "Violence leads to chaos, and war leads to destruction. If we act in this way, Yunshan will likely not have a good end, and it will surely be overthrown one day!"

Li Sheng laughed and said nonchalantly, "So what? I am Yunshan, and Yunshan is me. If Yunshan perishes, I will die."

His gaze was sharper than that of the golden-winged eagle: "But I will not die, nor will I let Yunshan perish. I can bear this karmic burden, can you?!"

In that instant, the question "And you?" resounded like a great bell in Lin Le's heart.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Sheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and the spiritual root within his dantian began to tremble slightly.

it's time.

He took a deep breath and unhesitatingly unleashed his spiritual root, its spirit core swaying gently.

Sensing the surge of spiritual energy and the change in atmosphere, everyone was stunned.

Li Sheng will establish his foundation here!
He clearly lacked the opportunity and was not in an auspicious location!
But Li Sheng simply closed his eyes gently, and a moment later, he opened them, a dazzling light flashing by.

By drawing in the essence of the Dao, one can carve unique Dao patterns onto the spiritual core.

In an instant, spiritual energy surged like a tide over Bichao Mountain and Baolian Lake, and a hundred-foot vortex descended from the sky, pouring into his dantian and into the spiritual flower!

In an instant, his dantian was filled, the spiritual flowers swayed gently, and the Dao patterns shone brightly.

Li Sheng, cleansing his mind, establishes his foundation in a single breath!
Everyone's attention was drawn to Li Sheng at that moment, and no one saw that Lin Le suddenly stopped and lowered his head.

His resistance vanished quietly, and the inner demon took over his body, laughing wildly as it tried to drag his soul into an endless abyss!

However, the moment the inner demon took control of this body, it suddenly stood face to face with Lin Le again, as if looking in a mirror.

Lin Le looked at him with a bright smile.

"I was wrong, you were right, we should go our own way."

He grabbed the hand of his inner demon: "You're right, you are my true self. It's me who has been rejecting you all along."

The inner demon sighed deeply. The moment Lin Le acknowledged him and the conflict ceased to exist, his power began to dissipate, and his entire body crumbled.

All the demonic energy vanished; chaos, madness, and evil disappeared, leaving only a radiant and sincere heart.

I searched for him everywhere, and when I turned around, he was there, standing in the dim light.

Lin Le once abandoned, buried, and rejected his true self, which became a demon in his heart. Now, he accepts his true self, and the demon in his heart is his true self.

“Now, I have finally found you, my true self, my Way of Gathering the Masses.”

The inner demon smiled, gave Lin Le a final hug, and then vanished completely.

Discern your true nature, recognize your true self, and find your true self!

A dazzling array of radiant light surged forth from Lin Le's body!

Everyone turned their heads sharply and heard a loud cry of a newborn baby!

Lin Le radiated a crystal-clear light, and the tiny dust particles floating in the air were repelled by an invisible force, all retreating from his side.

A surge of nascent soul spiritual pressure soared into the sky. Lin Le broke through the tribulation of inner demons, achieving perfect harmony of body and soul, and instantly became a Nascent Soul!
The eighth Nascent Soul Spirit Lord of the Yunshan Sect is born today.

Wang Yu had regained consciousness and breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Le, a newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator, and Li Sheng, a newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Lin Le's mind finally cleared up. Before he could even comprehend the mysteries of becoming a Nascent Soul, he suddenly remembered something. In a flash, he was already beside An Fanghe, and his expression changed drastically.

An Fanghe trembled as she cradled the cold body in her hands; her soul had vanished into thin air.

"Sect Leader Lin, Martial Uncle Cui is dead!" (End of Chapter)
