Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 1: Lotus Divine Power

In the summer of 13497 in the Tai Xuan calendar, a sudden flood occurred in Dongbo Lake in Yizhou, Great Yan Kingdom. Frequent calamities and demonic disturbances ravaged several prefectures, causing hundreds of thousands of people to be displaced.

As the sun gradually set in the west, Lin Le walked alone on an uneven dirt road. A sharp pain shot through the soles of his feet; the long walk had already worn through the flesh beneath his feet.

But soon, Lin Le's spirits lifted, because he saw a city in the distance.

Looking at the city gate, although the flow of people was sparse, it was unhurried and seemed to be maintaining a certain level of stability.

We've finally arrived at a safe place.

A surge of joy rose in Lin Le's heart. These past few days in the wild had been anything but peaceful. He was surrounded by poisonous insects and wild beasts, and wolves and tigers lurked behind him. The slightest disturbance could startle him awake.

With a goal in mind, Lin Le walked with even more energy, completely forgetting the pain in his feet.

However, halfway there, Lin Le soon discovered a major problem: the city gate was about to close.

Seeing the soldiers preparing to close the gate, Lin Le started jogging, trying to rush in before the last minute.

However, he overestimated his speed.

With a bang, the city gate slammed shut, slamming Lin Le's heart back down.

"Damn it!" This made Lin Le unable to help but swear.

This feeling is even worse than in my past life when I was at a crossroads, and the streetlight turned red the moment I arrived, and I was just a fraction of a second away from making perfect attendance!

Even the best mindset can't withstand the moment when hope falls into despair.

Looking up at the plaque that read "Baishan County" and then at the guards on the city wall, Lin Le gritted his teeth and swallowed his pent-up frustration.

He can't afford it!

Judging from the hard bows carried by those guards, if he dared to shout a few times, an arrow might be shot down.

Looking at the occasional bloodstains on the ground, Lin Le knew that someone had definitely set an example with their life.

This is not the modern society of his previous life, but a feudal society where cannibalism is out in the open, and it's an extraordinary kind of feudal society.

Don't be angry! Don't be angry!
Lin Le's chest heaved violently as he tried to calm himself down.

At least we've arrived at a stable place, and even though it's outside the city, it's somewhat safer now.

Lin Le looked around and saw a gathering place that was beginning to take shape. The people inside looked like he had fled here after the disaster.

Lin Le approached the gathering place, and as soon as he got close, he felt many eyes on him, filled with doubt, numbness, malice, and so on.

Many people glanced at him briefly and then looked away, but only a few kept their eyes on Lin Le.

Got caught!

A person's gaze carries weight, and Lin Le, whose spiritual awareness has greatly increased since awakening to the mystery of the womb a few days ago, can clearly recognize this.

Because I look small?

Having developed an adult mindset, Lin Le became much more cautious in his actions. When fleeing, he changed his brocade clothes into the hemp clothes of a dead person, and his fair skin was smeared with yellow soil, making him look sallow.

The only thing hard to hide is his slightly overweight figure. It's only been seven days since he fled, so it's difficult for him to lose weight to a certain extent.

You'd better not mess with me!

Lin Le pressed his cuffs tight, revealing a sharp blade.

That was a dagger, specifically used for self-defense.

As soon as the dagger was drawn, Lin Le felt those gazes shift away from him.

Having weapons makes a big difference compared to not having them. Even if the people in the shadows see benefits in Lin Le, they have to consider whether it's worth it. After all, there are other targets similar to Lin Le, and they are easier to target.

After circling around the gathering place, Lin Le found a dead tree and sat down under it.

Enduring the pain, Lin Le pulled his feet, which were stuck to the insoles, out of the shoes, letting them scab over in the air. As for treatment, he didn't have any herbs around.

Letting it scab over naturally was the best solution Lin Le could think of.

With his legs straight, Lin Le took out some fried rice from the lining of his clothes and fed it to his mouth little by little, eating very discreetly.

The disaster struck suddenly, and the refugees probably didn't bring much food with them. After so many days, their food should have run out.

Lin Le didn't want to be targeted because of this.

Feeling his mouth was very dry, Lin Le took out a piece of plant root, bit into it, sucked out all the juice, and then spat it out.

"Water is running low." Lin Le patted his pocket; there were only two of these plant roots left. Fortunately, they had reached a populated area, so finding a clean water source wouldn't be a big problem.

Curled up, Lin Le fell into a deep sleep; he was too exhausted.

The rustling sounds startled Lin Le awake. He didn't make a sound or move, but simply opened his eyes slightly, peeking out a crack to observe his surroundings.

The sky was dark and nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but Lin Le keenly noticed two figures using the bushes for cover as they flanked him.

They were still being watched.

Although he didn't know where he was acting strangely, Lin Le's muscles began to tense up.

Inside the bushes, two men stared greedily at Lin Le.

When they saw the dagger in Lin Le's arms, they really didn't want to confront him. But upon closer reflection, they noticed that Lin Le's hands were unusually fair and had no calluses.

After a quick discussion, the two realized that Lin Le was probably a rich kid from one of the families that had been robbed.

Such children might have the resources to turn their lives around.

Although he had weapons, he was short and probably didn't have much strength.

Money can be tempting, and after some thought, they decided to do it.

Even if I fail, I'll only get hurt a little, but if I succeed, I might get a lot of money!
The two got closer and closer to Lin Le, and Lin Le finally got a clear view of them.

Because the bushes are distributed differently, the distance between the two people varies.

This also gave Lin Le the opportunity to defeat them one by one.

Three, two, one!

Whoosh! Taking a deep breath, Lin Le suddenly sprang up from the ground and headed straight for the nearest one. He couldn't give the two of them a chance to surround him.

So fast was Lin Le that the nearest man barely had time to react before he was already within three feet of him.

what!
In a panic, the man grabbed the stone in his hand and threw it down.

so slow.

As Lin Le watched the man's actions, the thought involuntarily crossed his mind, but it did not hinder his actions.

With a slip of his foot, Lin Le dodged to the side, and then cleanly and swiftly plunged the dagger in his hand into the man's neck.

With a swift and decisive strike, Lin Le quickly retreated, creating distance between himself and the enemy.

Because it was dark, the other man couldn't see the situation clearly. He only saw Lin Le bump into another person, and he couldn't help but ask, "Brother, are you alright?"

But the man, clutching his neck in terror, could no longer utter a sound.

The other person also sensed something was wrong. He glanced around and saw Lin Le rushing towards him.

The man was also fierce, and immediately swung the wooden stick in his hand at Lin Le.

That's really slow.

Lin Le remained silent, but suddenly took a step to the right, easily dodging the attack, and then thrust back with his hand.

puff!

The dagger was firmly embedded in the man's neck.

If asked what it felt like to kill someone, Lin Le felt it was normal. To be honest, it was like slaughtering a pig for the New Year, just stabbing it to prevent it from hurting itself while struggling.

The air was thick with the smell of blood. Lin Le pulled out a dagger, and the man beneath her was completely lifeless. She turned to look at the other man, who had also bled to death.

A mysterious and profound feeling suddenly arose, and Lin Le couldn't help but immerse himself in it.

Following his mysterious intuition, he suddenly saw a red lotus seed.

Then he saw a golden drop of water and two red drops of water fall out of thin air and pour onto the red lotus seed.

Nourished by the water droplets, the red lotus seeds took root and sprouted at an extremely fast speed, growing into a red lotus flower, three lotus leaves, and a lotus whip.

Supernatural Power: Lotus Incarnation

The name automatically appeared in Lin Le's mind.
