Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 209 - The Second Transformation Forces Its Way Through the Teleportation

Lin Le seemed to have anticipated this attack, and the Qiankun Ring had already flown out on its own, locking the black light in place.

The black light revealed its true form, a strange creature resembling both a snake and a centipede.

'The bloodline of the Hooked Serpent?'

Lin Le took a look and knew what the centipede had dug out from its bloodline.

The higher one's cultivation level, the less reproductive barriers become a problem for those with great supernatural powers.

Therefore, it is not surprising that a bull spirit could find bloodlines belonging to fish, birds, or the like within its body after generations of reproduction.

"Human, I will kill you!" the centipede cried out angrily, its voice clear and crisp, suggesting it was female.

But so what? It's a demon just like its ancestor.

Judging from its menacing aura, it has probably already devoured quite a few people.

With a clenched fist, the centipede was severed in two. With a breath of boundless qi, its corpse was completely separated.

Lin Le carefully collected his spoils and turned to charge back into the mountains. He needed to wipe out all the descendants of the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Trees.

As he threw the embroidered ball, over a thousand Dao soldiers and spirit generals flew down into the mountains, and Lin Le's voice rang out: "Except for spirit beasts and wild beasts, leave no other demons alive!"

He then bestowed upon them the Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon), the Huo Jian Qiang (a fire-tipped spear), and the Qian Kun Quan (a magical ring).

"Yes!" the spirit generals nodded.

Lin Le threw out the Yin-Yang Twin Swords, creating a net to prevent any demons from escaping.

"A-Zhu, why don't you go and fight too? Consider it training," Lin Le said, turning his head.

Ling Muzhu, who had appeared next to Lin Le without him noticing, nodded: "Okay."

After saying that, she charged towards a centipede demon at the Nascent Soul stage.

Lin Le arrived at the mountain peak, on the mountain pillar where the True Lord of Ten Thousand Trees resided.

Feeling the abundant spiritual energy beneath his feet, the boundless qi flew out from his body, spreading into the mountain and plundering the treasures of the Myriad Tree Demon Lord.

Before long, Lin Le was playing with a piece of warm and smooth jade in his hand. This was Xuan Jade, a Spirit Realm level jade.

The amount of innate spiritual energy it contains is nearly a hundred times that of a top-grade spirit stone. Based on this value, one Spirit Realm Jade should be able to be exchanged for one hundred top-grade spirit stones.

In reality, this one can be exchanged for a thousand top-grade spirit stones, increasing its value tenfold.

This is because the Mysterious Jade of the Spirit Realm is helpful for enlightenment.

According to normal standards, an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator is qualified to break through to the Out-of-Body Realm once they have fully comprehended one True Meaning, while someone in the Out-of-Body Realm must comprehend three True Meanings and enter the Great Dao before they are qualified to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm.

However, not everyone has Lin Le's lotus supernatural power to assist them, nor does everyone have Qing Li's innate amazing comprehension, and not everyone is like Ling Muzhu, who was born with a Dao body.

Therefore, spiritual objects like Xuanyu, which are produced stably and have good effects on enlightenment, have become extremely sought after.

Lin Le put his things away, glanced at the battle below the mountain, and couldn't help but frown.

Ling Muzhu is alright, after all, she has a Dao Body, so even if she is not good at fighting, she can still crush others with her basic skills.

However, the other spirit generals were not so good. After all, the bodies that the embroidered ball gave them were only average among those of the same realm. In addition, they could be said to have come from the bottom and had no means that matched their realm, which resulted in their combat strength being somewhat weak.

The reason they didn't completely fail is simply because they have decent talent, and their immortality makes them appear exceptionally fierce.

'I'll teach them some magic later,' Lin Le thought to himself, toying with the embroidered ball.

After confirming that the battle would proceed without incident, Lin Le took out the blood and poison sac of the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Woods. He refined the blood with Hunyuan Fire, then drank it down. Afterward, he punctured the poison sac and used his Qi to apply the venom inside to his body little by little.

A burning pain shot through his skin, followed by a strange, icy chill that seemed to be seeping into his entire body.

Experiences of extreme heat and cold; stimulated by this, Lin Le activated the Dragon Sparrow Fighting Heaven Technique to hone his physical body.

This refining process lasted for five days and five nights. During this time, not only the essence of the Myriad Wood Demon Lord but also that of its descendants were transformed into nourishment for Lin Le's physical body.

With red veins covering his muscles to about 50%, Lin Le also felt his strength increase to the power of ten barbarian dragons.

Lin Le stretched his body and felt a little surprised, because he felt that he could continue practicing.

Based on past patterns, ten times is roughly the limit, but it seems that this is not the case for the Nascent Soul realm.

'Is it because the Nascent Soul and the Out-of-Body Realm were once considered the same realm?' Lin Le wondered.

In the early days of cultivation, there were no separate realms of Nascent Soul and Out-of-Body; instead, they were all unified under the Refining Spirit Realm.

Later, a powerful being sensed that the Refining Spirit Realm was extremely dangerous, and that the slightest carelessness could lead to the death of one's soul and the dissipation of one's cultivation.

After careful study, the Refining Spirit Realm was divided into the Nascent Soul Realm and the Out-of-Body Realm.

He shook his head, not thinking too much about it. After all, being able to continue cultivating was a good thing, and there was no need to be trapped by the realm.

Lin Le chose to break through the three secret realms he had explored internally.

Now that we've achieved the small goal of defying an entire major realm, there's no need to stubbornly remain at the Nascent Soul stage.

A hazy mist flew out from the spirit pearl, enveloping the baby and forming an oocyte.

Before long, one arm smashed through the embryo, followed by another arm.

With both hands working together, they tore the oocyte apart.

A toddler who looked to be three years old walked out from among them.

Nascent Soul Second Transformation Successful!

After consolidating his cultivation, Lin Le pulled Ling Muzhu back to the Bi Gui Dan Fang. Charcoal fire heated the glistening white meat through an iron mesh, and Lin Le used chopsticks to pick up a piece of roasted meat and put it in his mouth.

Yes, it's still raw.

After all, it was the flesh of a Nascent Soul Demon Lord, and ordinary flames could no longer cook it.

But Lin Le was too lazy to use his own magical fire to grill it. He ate barbecue to find a sense of freedom, not to make himself feel uncomfortable.

Lin Le chewed a few times and swallowed it. Although it was raw, it tasted pretty good, with a faint sweetness.

Lin Le took out some seasonings from the leopard skin pouch, finely shredded the centipede meat, mixed it, and then slurped it up like noodles.

Sour, spicy, and sweet—hmm, the flavor is actually better!

While eating, Lin Le sorted through the memories of the clay doll's clone.

After sorting through the information, Lin Le frowned. A bronze door—there was one even here!

Keep in mind that this place is at least hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Great Yan Kingdom. If even this place has a bronze gate, you can imagine how powerful that sealing formation is.

Could it be that a true immortal has been suppressed?
Lin Le thought for a moment, then shook his head, feeling that he might be overthinking it. After all, in ancient times, the human race was a unified force, so it was normal for some standardized things to look exactly the same.

"I'll go take a look tomorrow." Lin Le slurped up all the noodles.

According to intelligence, forces such as the Nine Treasures Sect are still busy discussing the quota for entry. According to prior intelligence, the innate spiritual energy inside is extremely abundant, at least equivalent to the total of a thousand top-grade spirit stones.

Such an opportunity, comparable to the wealth of a Nascent Soul cultivator, would naturally attract those powerful factions who would want to take as much as possible for their own people.

Jielan Mountain was originally just an obscure wild mountain, where the strongest demon was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

However, it is now unknown which cultivator's stomach or magical artifact it has ended up in.

The original location of Jielan Mountain has been completely destroyed, with only a dusty bronze gate standing there.

Three figures stood in the sky in three directions, and the crowd was divided into three camps around them.

These three camps are the Nine Treasures Sect, the Wei Lu Kingdom, and the neighboring Zhang Zhu Kingdom.

Lin Le quietly appeared in the Nine Treasures Sect's camp, examining the bronze door.

Soon, he frowned slightly, sensing the same aura emanating from the bronze door as he had from the previous ones.

Could they really be together?
Lin Le thought for a moment and then approached the bronze door.

As for the three Nascent Soul Dao Lords in the sky, Lin Le naturally ignored them.

The three Nascent Soul cultivators never expected that someone would dare to ignore them and try to enter the Bronze Gate directly.

Standing three zhang away from the bronze gate, Lin Le examined the formation and exhaled a breath.

The Yin-Yang swords shot out, piercing through the defensive formation in front of them.

The violent fluctuations in magical power startled the three Nascent Soul Dao Lords in the sky, followed by a burst of anger, because they realized that the array set up on the bronze gate had been destroyed.

who!
Three powerful divine senses swept towards the bronze gate, but it was too late.

While they were still in a daze, Lin Le strode in, taking three zhang at a time.

Although no one was detected, there was no doubt that someone had already entered the bronze gate.

The three Nascent Soul Dao Lords all looked extremely grim. They truly hadn't expected that someone would actually dare to force their way into the ancient ruins right under their noses and even succeed!
"Alright, that's enough. Ten spots for each of the three families. If we're any later, the soup will be gone." The Nascent Soul Daoist from the Nine Treasures Sect said, suppressing his anger.

Some were directed at Lin Le, and others at the other two Dao Lords. If they hadn't been arguing, they wouldn't have been able to exploit the loophole.

What could the other two Dao Lords do but agree?

They then immediately began to select their generals.

Meanwhile, after Lin Le entered the bronze gate, he felt the rich innate spiritual energy in the air.

Lin Le opened the Hundred Flowers Gourd and said, "Come on!"

Then, the innate spiritual energy in the air surged towards the Hundred Flowers Gourd.

As he collected the innate spiritual energy, Lin Le walked towards the central altar.

Standing beside the altar, Lin Le glanced at it with his spiritual eye, his brows furrowing slightly, because it turned out to be a teleportation array.

Where will this teleport me? Next to that sealed "person"?
A sense of curiosity arose in Lin Le's heart. He was genuinely curious about what kind of terrifying figure was sealed away by this array that stretched for hundreds of thousands of miles.

I feel that even the worst level would be the Dao Integration Realm.

However, Lin Le was naturally unwilling to go there in person. Who knew whether the teleportation array was good or bad, or whether there were any traps on the other side?

Lin Le slowly formed a hand seal, as he wasn't very proficient at this spell.

Minor Supernatural Power: Fractal Scattering

Another "Lin Le" slowly emerged from Lin Le's shadow, and as this other "Lin Le" emerged, the shadow of Lin Le's original body also became lighter.

"Let's go." Lin Le's clone said "Let's go" and walked onto the altar.

Lin Le's main body, on the other hand, was infused with magical power.

After nearly exhausting Lin Le's magical power, the teleportation array set up on the altar was finally activated.

Without making a sound, Lin Le's clone disappeared.
