Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 126 - Shrinking the Earth into an Inch
Nine years later, Lin Le opened his eyes. Song Shiyin had indeed not given him a fake method, but she also hadn't mentioned any side effects.

As one progresses through the later stages of the Soul-Slaying Cultivation Technique, the urge to kill enters the mind, and the seven emotions and six desires surge, while one must also worry about external demonic interference.

All I can say is that this is truly a demonic cultivation method—easy to learn and master, but the side effects are terrifyingly severe.

But how should I put it, side effects don't seem to have anything to do with him.

Lin Le looked at the golden light mantra within the Yellow Court Secret Realm, and during his cultivation, it effectively suppressed the side effects of the Soul-Slaying Temple.

In that case, it's not that you can't practice.

Lin Le entered a meditative state, visualizing the image of ten thousand souls wailing. In a single breath, hundreds of soul strings were condensed, and after nearly a hundred breaths, when the number of soul strings approached ten thousand, the process stopped.

That's the peak for now.

Lin Le opened his eyes, and the fiery wheels beneath his feet rose up, helping him fly to the city wall.

Looking at the distant hills, within his inner vision, a two-patterned lotus seed of the Human Path emitted energy, signifying sudden enlightenment.

In the previous nine years, he cultivated the Soul Slaughtering Sect to near perfection in just one year, but he could not make any further progress after that because he had not killed enough people.

So Lin Le spent the rest of his time figuring out spells, and his battle with Song Shiyin gave him a lot of inspiration.

His mind soared, connecting with the heavens, and that final kick was delivered.

Coming to his senses, Lin Le picked up his gun and began practicing martial arts.

Sunset, breaking through the sky, twinkling stars, flawless, dragon and tiger fight
The fire never dies out; the power of the flame combines with the power of new life, and the spear dances like falling leaves, endlessly regenerating.

The Crimson Lotus's Fury combines the power of a raging fire with the power of slaughter; with a flick of the spear, it erupts like a burst of earth fire, like a crimson lotus in full bloom.

Between life and death, the forces of new life and the forces of destruction combine, and the sweeping of the spear is like defining the boundary between life and death; those outside the boundary live, and those inside die.

Stopping his martial arts practice, Lin Le let out a soft breath: "My accumulation of lightning techniques is still a bit lacking."

Although there was some potential for combining the Lightning Bolt technique with the remaining two techniques, his own foundation was still somewhat insufficient.

As the sun set and the moon rose, Bai Piao and the soldiers arrived with piles of boxes.

"Sir, everything is here," Bai Piao said. "And this is the ledger of the smuggled accounts."

As he spoke, Bai Piao waved his hand, and a box floated over.

"Thank you for your hard work." Lin Le nodded slightly, then turned to look at the man whose face looked a bit like a bitter gourd. "You and your men go and settle the outstanding accounts, and make compensation for those that should be compensated. One tael of silver per account is your hard work fee."

"Yes." The man nodded and left with the box.

Bai Piao also led the Dao soldiers back into the embroidered ball.

Lin Le waved his hand, and all the boxes opened. He scanned them with his divine sense and gained a general understanding of what was inside.

The Hun Tian Ling emerged and picked out the spiritual materials needed for the embroidered ball, piling them next to it.

The hydrangea released its suction, draining all the essence of the spiritual materials, and two more pages were being repaired.

'Only four leaves are left.' Lin Le said, playing with the hydrangea.

"Have you solved it yet?" Lin Le turned to ask Qing Li, who had been focusing on the star map for some time.

“It’s not getting harder yet.” Qingli shook her head. The solutions became increasingly difficult as they progressed. “We’re currently on the thirteenth one. I estimate it will take more than a month to complete the remaining three.”

Lin Le thought for a moment, then a golden lotus seed appeared on her finger, without any patterns on it: "Want to try this one? It's the lightest one."

Qingli looked at the lotus seeds and immediately knew that they involved Lin Le's secret.

"Give it a try." Qingli reached out to take it without hesitation. Since they were already going to be together, why should she hesitate?

Her fingertips touched the lotus seed, and her eyes momentarily glazed over. It took her a breath to come back to her senses. She looked at Lin Le and said, "No wonder you were able to comprehend it so quickly. It turns out this thing helped you." "Hmm." Lin Le nodded slightly, a strange light appearing in his eyes, because he sensed an inexplicable connection between him and Qing Li.

"Anything else? Something stronger?" Qingli licked her lips. "I have a spell I need to learn."

"Yes." Lin Le glanced at the more than 10,000 human merits that were still increasing, and nodded happily.

The two-patterned lotus seeds were condensed and then used by Qingli.

This time, it took Qingli even longer to come to her senses, and Lin Le noticed this as well.

'This could potentially be used as a trump card.'

Lin Le seemed to be deep in thought. After all, the merit lotus seed was a benefit, and there was probably nothing in this world that could protect one from it.

Therefore, once the enemy is hit, they will be momentarily distracted, and this momentary distraction provides Lin Le, who has a quick reflex, with plenty of room to maneuver.

Moreover, after using it, a connection will be established between him and the enemy, so he no longer has to worry about the enemy running away and hiding in some unknown backwater.

After Qingli came to her senses, she reached out her hand to Lin Le.

Lin Le did not dodge, letting Qing Li reach out and pinch his nose, and then he felt his ears being pinched as well.

Using his divine sense, Lin Le scanned left and right, but surprisingly found no magical power or real objects.

"Spatial magic?" Lin Le's interest was piqued. "Can you teach me?"

“No, that requires the power of bloodline.” Qingli shook her head, but then changed the subject, “However, if you want, I do have a human spell that I can teach you.”

"What is it?" Lin Le, who was initially somewhat disappointed, regained his interest.

"Shrinking the earth to an inch," Qingli said.

Lin Le's face immediately showed astonishment. Each realm has its own suitable spells, but there are always some spells that transcend common sense and can be used in all realms.

These extraordinary abilities are called supernatural powers, and based on their universality and power, they are also known as minor supernatural powers, major supernatural powers, and supreme supernatural powers.

Shrinking the earth to an inch is one of the most widely circulated supernatural powers among minor supernatural powers.

Lin Le immediately sat up straight and said respectfully, "Please teach me, teacher!"

"No, you have to call her 'Mother'." Qingli sat up straight, but it seemed that a big tail was wagging behind her.

#！

Veins bulged on his forehead as Lin Le said with a forced smile, "Don't go too far, A-Li!"

"Hehe, tell me if you want to learn or not?" Qingli smiled, a purely mischievous smile.

###!

His veins bulged even more. Lin Le gritted his teeth, but in the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of this supernatural power and called out in humiliation, "Godmother!"

He deliberately emphasized the word "gan" (干).

Although there was an extra word, Qingli knew that too much of a good thing could be bad, and that it was best to stop while one was ahead.

"Ahem." She cleared her throat and said, "Listen carefully, step on the Seven Stars, let your Qi flow to the Yongquan point; be as light as a feather, yet as heavy as a mountain..."

Lin Le listened attentively. Qing Li did not directly teach him the Shrinking Earth to an Inch technique, but first taught him three spells: the Divine Speed ​​Technique, the Eight Trigrams Step, and the Earth Escape Technique.

These three spells are prerequisites for Shrinking the Earth to an Inch. After mastering them, practicing Shrinking the Earth to an Inch will be much more efficient and easier to learn.

After listening, Lin Le closed his eyes, and a two-patterned human lotus seed was consumed in his inner vision.
