Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 232 Return to Great Yan
Finally died.

Lin Le glanced at the increasing killing karma and breathed a sigh of relief.

I have to go.

Lin Le stretched out his hand, and the Yin-Yang Twin Swords transformed into a great array that completely confused the spiritual energy of this world.

After retrieving the Yin-Yang Twin Swords, Lin Le immediately transformed into a rainbow of light and flew away.

At the Xuan Tian Sect, Yun Xiao Zi suddenly opened his eyes and saw a boy running in, saying, "Reporting to the Sect Leader, the soul tablet of Sect Leader Tian Qing is broken!"

The soul tablet is broken?!

Yunxiaozi looked surprised. He remembered that Xulingzi should be in seclusion. How could he have suddenly died?

Going astray in cultivation? That shouldn't be the case; there should have been a warning.

Yunxiaozi's figure became illusory, and in the next instant, he appeared on Tianqing Peak.

Yunxiaozi frowned as he saw through the formation with his divine sense, because he did not find Xulingzi's body.

They actually went out secretly.

Yunxiaozi had a headache. He reached out and grabbed the soul tablet that was far away in the Dao Palace.

Using the remnant soul as a guide and the aura as a thread, Yunxiaozi performed divination, trying to unravel the mystery of Xulingzi's whereabouts and the murderer.

Hundreds of thousands of miles away, the Hun Tian Ling, which had already been upgraded to a low-grade magic weapon, absorbed Lin Le's magic power and used its Hun Tian characteristics to disrupt the divination.

Yunxiaozi stopped fiddling with his fingers and looked at Jiulingzi, who was following closely behind, and said, "Junior brother, go and see the Wanmu Mountains. Junior brother Xulingzi perished there."

"Where is the murderer?" Kureko asked.

"I can't predict that." Yunxiaozi shook his head slightly.

Kureko frowned: "It seems like this was premeditated."

“Then I’ll go take a look,” he said.

In less than an hour, Jiu Lingzi arrived at Wanmu Mountain.

Seeing that half of the mountain had been destroyed, Jiu Lingzi frowned, reached out and tried to extract the energy within.

Unfortunately, aside from the usual flashes of inspiration, he didn't absorb anything else.

Even after his divine sense swept across the area like scraping the ground, Jiu Lingzi still found nothing.

With a cold expression, Kureko turned and left.

On the other side, Lin Le hid inside the leopard skin pouch, refining top-grade spirit stones to restore his magical power.

After a long while, Lin Le let out a soft breath, and her previously pale face regained its rosy hue.

"He's dead?" Ling Muzhu finally asked.

"Yes, he's dead." Lin Le nodded.

Ling Muzhu's expression was somewhat complicated, after all, she had always regarded Xu Lingzi as her father before this.

Now that he is dead, I still feel a mix of emotions.

However, she quickly adjusted her mindset, after all, this was not someone worth remembering.

"Where do we go next?" Ling Muzhu asked.

"The Great Yan Kingdom," Lin Le said.

"The Great Yan Kingdom?" Ling Muzhu looked blank, as she had no recollection of this country. "Where is that?"

“My hometown,” Lin Le said.

"My hometown," Ling Muzhu said, "Are you going to visit relatives?"

"No." Lin Le shook his head. "I have no family left. I'm only going back to seize an opportunity."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance behind him, and Ba was still as quiet as ever.

"Oh." Ling Muzhu nodded.

After taking Ling Muzhu out of the leopard skin bag, Lin Le scanned the surroundings with his divine sense to make sure there were no ambushes. The two then flew towards the Great Yan Kingdom.

Five days later, at Dongbo Lake.

Lin Le scanned the terrain beside the bronze pillar with his divine sense, then waved his hand, and the Yin-Yang Twin Swords split into thousands, piercing into the surrounding terrain.

As their energies intertwined, Lin Le made a hand seal, causing his magical power to plummet by 50%.

At the same time, the connection between this ley line and the bronze pillar was temporarily severed by the great formation. Lin Le reached out and grabbed, his body adorned with dragon and phoenix patterns, and shouted, "Rise!"

The bronze pillar, weighing an unknown number of tons, was forcibly uprooted.

Ling Muzhu also made her move at the right time, her silvery-frost-like magic power washing into the deep pit under the bronze pillar like a white cloth.

Then she took out a dragon head that had turned into bones, from which a faint thumping sound could be heard.

After withdrawing the Yin-Yang Twin Swords, Lin Le watched as the earth veins beneath him re-converged. If anything went wrong, he would replant the bronze pillar in his hand.

The earth's veins surged and gathered, yet it remained unchanged from before.

Looking again at the inner landscape of the supernatural power, the merit of the earthly path had increased by 100,000.

It is clear that this seal also damages the earth's veins.

Lin Le's eyes gleamed; this was indeed a genuine way to gain merit.

Without the protection of the earth's veins, the bronze pillar was no longer anything special. Lin Le simply activated the Primordial Fire to melt the bronze pillar.

He felt that there must be something inside this bronze pillar, serving as a seal.

The bronze pillar melted away little by little, eventually revealing a skeleton.

Lin Le couldn't help but curl his lip after reading it. Tsk, another human sacrifice method.

Lin Le's hopes of making a little more money were dashed, and he took the dragon bone handed to him by Ling Muzhu.

Looking at the bead swaying inside the skull, Lin Le couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

The joy of accident!

His original purpose was this real dragon skull, but he didn't expect that there would be a dragon pearl inside the skull.

Although time has eroded its power and many of its mysteries have been lost, it is still comparable to, or even surpasses, the essence of a savage dragon.

What I did was worthwhile!
Lin Le melted it on the spot, extracted its essence, and then refined it into his supernatural power.

As the dragon pattern appeared, a new dragon pattern slowly grew on Lin Le's right arm, dancing together with the original dragon pattern.

With a flick of his finger, Lin Le unleashed a ripple that shattered a distant boulder into dust.

This refining process didn't yield any special properties; it only slightly enhanced the vibration properties. The main essence was used to improve the physical body.

"Let's go." Lin Le led Ling Muzhu away.

At Prince Yi's residence, two women are playing the zither and singing a duet.

It was Wen Jinhe and Ling Shan who wanted to temporarily avoid Lin Le's sharp edge that day.

With Lin Le nowhere to be seen and the Zhao family no longer obstructing them, they successfully occupied the Prince Yi's residence.

Suddenly, a powerful divine sense swept across their bodies.

They were immediately jolted awake and wanted to retaliate, but they froze in place.

Then a handsome young man appeared before them with a beautiful young woman.

Lin Le glanced at them, raising an eyebrow slightly: "Sacred Heart Sect, you're really stretching your reach quite far."

Before they could finish speaking, their souls had already been annihilated.

Upon arriving at the Scripture Pavilion of Prince Yi's Mansion, Lin Le used his divine sense to peruse ancient books, compiling information about bronze and ancient times.

With a wave of his hand, he used his magic to create a geomantic map of the earth's veins and water veins, and then marked the locations of the bronze gate and ancient relics that were unearthed.

'It's still a bit lacking.'

Lin Le looked at the map but couldn't discern any useful information.

Taking out the embroidered ball, Lin Le summoned the spirit general and instructed, "You few, go to the nearby countries and gather information about the bronze gate and ancient ruins."

"Yes." Guan Wenzhong and the others accepted the order and left.

Ling Muzhu asked in confusion, "What are you trying to do?"

"Looking for an opportunity," Lin Le said.

As for what the opportunity was, Lin Le didn't say much, and Ling Muzhu didn't ask any further questions. Anyway, if there was any benefit, Lin Le wouldn't forget her.

After looting the Prince Yi's mansion of all its wealth, Lin Le flew towards the capital of the Great Yan Kingdom. After all, the Prince Yi was just a leisurely prince, and how could the books in his mansion compare to the collection of a nation?
