Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 235 - The Sacred Heart and the Divine Musician
Lin Le led Ling Muzhu leisurely into a small shop. The waiter was about to come over to greet them when his expression suddenly froze, his mind completely captivated.

Not only him, but everyone in the shop looked blank after Lin Le came in.

Lin Le went through their memories and quickly found the clues he was looking for.

With a snap of his fingers, several people collapsed to the ground; these were all members of the Sacred Heart Sect.

"Ah Zhu, want to choose one?" Lin Le gestured with her chin toward the rouge box beside her.

Ling Muzhu shook her head: "No need, we don't need it."

“That’s true. You’re naturally beautiful, so you don’t need any makeup to adorn yourself.” Lin Le nodded slightly.

"How annoying." Ling Muzhu smiled, but lightly punched Lin Le's chest with her fist.

Lin Le laughed and left with Ling Muzhu. After they left, the people in the shop returned to normal.

But soon someone screamed, "Someone's dead!"

By the time the officers and soldiers arrived, the perpetrator had already fled far away in a flying boat.

Lanxin Sect is a secluded sect composed entirely of women, who rarely interact with the outside world.

However, Lin Le knew that this Lanxin Sect was no longer the Lanxin Sect. Now it had become the Daoist temple of the Ling Sheng lineage of the Shengxin Sect.

Looking at the protective array in front of him, Lin Le scanned it with his divine sense and deconstructed it.

After a while, Lin Le made his move. The Yin-Yang Twin Swords transformed into thousands of stars and flew out, piercing into various nodes within the mountain.

Lin Le made some hand seals and began to modify the contents of the array. The changes were minor, but enough to gain some control over the array.

He then led Ling Muzhu inside.

Once inside, you're greeted by the sounds of traditional Chinese string and wind instruments, creating a very peaceful atmosphere.

But when one scanned with divine sense, most of the scenes looked extremely disgusting: young boys and girls being used to make human medicine, demonesses crossing the line between yin and yang, and raising little ghosts between earthenware jars...

Upon seeing this, Ling Muzhu's fair face couldn't help but show a murderous aura.

Those members of the Demonic Sect deserve to die!

Lin Le also made his move, throwing the Qiankun Ring to the mountain peak.

The next moment, the Qiankun Ring shone with dazzling golden light, just like the sun in the sky.

The golden light was extremely righteous and strong, carrying the power to restrain all evil. It penetrated through layers of soil and dyed the entire mountain a golden color.

The little demon in the earthenware urn was converted, the evil energy in the yin and malevolent land was purified, and the cultivator who was practicing evil arts went mad...

The entire Lanxin Sect was thrown into chaos.

"Who is it!" a woman's voice rang out, filled with frustration.

The only response she received was a long spear that fell from the sky.

Abyss of Purgatory!

boom!
A towering pillar of fire erupted, incinerating the sixth-stage Nascent Soul Demon Lord.

"Ah!" The demon lord let out a miserable cry, unable to understand why a powerful figure had silently entered her dojo.

Has a traitor emerged from within?

The Demon Lord couldn't understand it, so he took out the array seal, wanting to activate the mountain-protecting array to try and save her life.

Lin Le had anticipated this; the Yin-Yang twin swords buried in the mountain activated, blocking the formation.

Upon not seeing the protective array around the mountain, the demon lord's heart sank, and without a second thought, he fled towards the outside of the mountain.

But Lin Le wouldn't let her escape. With a single step, he shrank the distance between them and blocked her path.

Then he threw a punch.

The Martial Intent, carrying the Primordial True Intent, was unleashed. Even though the Demon Lord used a thousand wonderful techniques, he could not stop the fist from landing on her beautiful face.

Bang! His skull shattered, and the boundless qi surged forth, sweeping away his nascent soul.

She is the one with the highest cultivation level here.

If she was no match for Lin Le, then no one could stop Lin Le.

After annihilating the remaining Out-of-Body Demon Lords, Lin Le spun the embroidered ball, and the spirit generals, leading the Dao soldiers, charged out like wolves to clear out the remaining demonic cultivators. On the mountaintop, after clearing away some obstructions, Lin Le swallowed a pill.

That's the Nascent Soul Heavenly Spirit Pill, a reward from the inner sect competition, and it's an extremely rare type of fifth-grade pill.

After taking it for a while, this is the last one.

The medicinal power dissolved and merged into the three nascent souls, and the feeling of being bound by thin ropes gradually diminished until it disappeared completely.

The three Nascent Soul cultivators opened their eyes, looked at the steps in front of them, and took another step without hesitation.

Tenth minor stage, second stage of body separation, accomplished!
After taking a step, feeling that the resistance on their bodies was not very strong, the three Nascent Soul cultivators took another step forward.

The thin ropes that were originally on his body immediately bound him like steel ropes.

Lin Le sensed the time it took for the three Nascent Souls to dissolve on their own and couldn't help but frown. Two years.

Two levels take two years, so wouldn't nine levels take nine years?

The downside of having an overly strong foundation is that even though you have a precious body, your progress is still not satisfactory.

Lin Le sighed, but this was just a happy kind of trouble.

Lin Le used his inner vision to observe the growth of his killing karma and merit until both became relatively stable.

The amount of killing karma surged to 6.75 million. After all, there were nine Nascent Soul Dao Lords, nearly two hundred Nascent Soul cultivators, and tens of thousands of Golden Core cultivators in this area, so it was normal to have so much killing karma.

The corresponding human merit also soared to 47.12 million, and the earthly merit also increased back to 100,000.

'It really feels good to kill members of the Demonic Sect; you accumulate so much killing karma and merit all at once.'

Looking at the densely packed lotus roots, Lin Le suddenly felt that the two billion killing karmas required for advancing to the Dao Body weren't so difficult to accumulate.

Although most of the Hundred Meridians of the Sacred Heart only have one or two Nascent Soul Dao Lords in charge, there are still at least a dozen or so relatively strong meridians.

The weak ones are worth one million, the strong ones are worth ten million, so together they should be worth at least two or three hundred million.

It would only take the destruction of six or seven Sacred Heart Demon Sects.

Lin Le optimistically thought.

With his mind focused on the embroidered ball, Lin Le's divine sense invaded the controlled nascent soul, violently prying open her memories to search for the information he needed.

However, the restrictions she remembered were even more bizarre than any restrictions Lin Le had encountered before.

Just as I was trying to find out where the other Daoist lineages and dojos were, my nascent soul silently disintegrated.

'trouble.'

Lin Le frowned, not expecting that as a Nascent Soul Dao Lord, the restrictions she was subject to were so severe.

'Well, at least we've figured out one more.'

Lin Le looked at the information in his mind and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

The Sage of Medicine? They dare to issue a warrant for his arrest? They're practically courting death!

After completely eradicating the Ling Sheng lineage, Lin Le glanced at the embroidered ball, which had become a perfect, top-grade spiritual artifact.

However, the spiritual energy it absorbed was too mixed, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, it would definitely not be able to cross the threshold of becoming a magical artifact.

Unfortunately, Lin Le was the biggest surprise.

With the depletion of nearly a million acts of killing, the chaotic spiritual energy within the embroidered ball was sorted out and woven together, eventually forming the first precious restriction.

As Lin Le spun the embroidered ball, he sensed the changes. The number of Dao soldiers doubled again, bringing the total number of Dao soldiers he could summon to 2,048.

Yes, it should be 2,420. There was an anomaly on the Yaksha side, so we can exchange it for 500 Yaksha soldiers.

He summoned a Taoist soldier to examine him and found that the soldier's intelligence had increased. If he previously had the intelligence of a three-year-old, he now had the intelligence of a seven- or eight-year-old.

"In that case, we can barely form a military formation." Lin Le nodded slightly.

These Taoist soldiers certainly can't remember military formations that are too difficult, but they can be forced to memorize some simple ones.

After putting the spoils into the leopard skin pouch, Lin Le left with Ling Muzhu.
