Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 237 - Third Stage of Nascent Soul Awakening
Seeing Lin Le catch up, the Medical Saint turned around and struck again with his palm, instantly repairing the collapsed sternum.

Facing a palm strike that was clearly poisonous, Lin Le was not afraid at all. He unleashed six punches, each carrying the heat of the sun and a sacred golden light.

Sunset, six consecutive shots!
Boom!

A dull, rumbling sound, like muffled thunder, echoed throughout the green hills.

Whether they were in seclusion or not, all the Nascent Soul Demon Lords were awakened.

With a sweep of his divine sense, he saw a three-headed, six-armed deity who had already captured the Sage of Medicine.

The medical sage's physical body has been transformed into the appearance of a mandrill.

Upon seeing the other Nascent Soul Demon Lords, Lin Le didn't hesitate, opening his three mouths wide: "Zha!"

Innate Divine Power: The Sound of Subduing Gods and Conquering Demons!

The medical sage, who was at close range, was stunned by the roar and was momentarily dazed.

However, even a single breath might be too much for a Daoist to handle, let alone Lin Le, who has been quick-witted since his mortal days.

Rumble!
Lin Le's every punch was imbued with lightning, each punch landing squarely on the Medical Saint's body.

Lightning-attracting pool!
In the blink of an eye, Lin Le blasted the Medical Saint into black ash.

Strangely, Lin Le didn't discover his nascent soul.

His nascent soul was destroyed by him?
Lin Le had such a thought, but he immediately dismissed it. It was impossible; he had been focused on the body of the Medical Saint and could not possibly miss his nascent soul.

These demonic cultivators are truly cunning!

Lin Le cursed inwardly, completely unaware that he had also used a trick.

Lin Le scanned the entire Green Mountain with his divine sense through his spiritual eye and sensed something unusual within the mountain.

But after glancing at the otherworldly demon lords around him, who were neither human nor ghost, magical artifacts appeared in his hands.

With a flick of the spear, the Dao patterns of death struck the Out-of-Body Demon Lord like meteors, instantly extinguishing his vibrant life force.

With a sweep of the Hun Tian Ling, the Hun Yuan Dao patterns attached themselves, directly blasting the two Dao Lords apart in mid-air, leaving not even their Nascent Souls behind.

The Qiankun Ring was thrown out, and the Qiantian Kundi Dao patterns attached to it transformed into a golden light, which smashed the Nascent Soul Dao Lord with a majestic and righteous momentum.

The Yin-Yang Twin Swords, imbued with the Dao patterns of the Taiyin and Taiyang, swept across the area, their sword energy like a torrent, completely obliterating the two Nascent Soul Demon Lords, leaving not even a trace of bone dust behind.

In just one round, six Nascent Soul Demon Lords died.

Such a terrifying record immediately chilled the surrounding demon lords, and some of them immediately distanced themselves, seemingly wanting to escape.

But Lin Le wouldn't let them escape. He threw out the embroidered ball, and eight spirit generals led their soldiers out to fight their way out.

Their auras were intertwined, and their strength was no weaker than that of a first-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Without Lin Le needing to say anything more, those who were already familiar with Lin Le's style charged towards the disciples of the Sacred Heart Sect in the mountains.

Lin Le threw out the embroidered ball and caught up with the Out-of-Body Demon Lords.

Within his inner realm of supernatural powers, the elixir and spiritual essence on the lotus leaves were rapidly consumed to allow Lin Le to recover his magical power and quickly pursue the Out-of-Body Demon Lords.

Boom!

After defeating the last Out-of-Body Demon Lord, Lin Le took a few deep breaths, and his internal magic power quickly recovered.

He turned to look at Qingshan: "Aren't you coming out yet, Xuanjing!"

Xuanjing is the name of the Sage of Medicine.

Rumble!
The rocks split open, and a giant ape, hundreds of feet tall, stood up from it. Its fur was dark green and seemed to be covered with sticky mucus, making it look extremely disgusting.

"You're actually a demon?" Lin Le asked, his eyes widening in surprise as he sensed the murderous and demonic aura emanating from the giant ape.

Although the Sacred Heart Sect is a demonic sect, it is still a human sect. It is quite surprising that the leader of one of its lineages is a demonic beast.

"Who are you, and why have you provoked my Sacred Heart Sect?" The Medical Sage avoided answering and instead questioned Lin Ledao.

"You put a bounty on me, so I'm not allowed to kill you?" Lin Le said indifferently. "A bounty?" The Medical Saint was puzzled, then his huge pupils shrank to the size of a fist, showing his surprise. "Lingzhuzi, how is this possible!"

"Nothing is impossible!" Flames erupted beneath Lin Le's feet, propelling him forward to the Medical Saint.

The Medical Sage had been on guard against Lin Le, and when he saw him rushing over, he slapped him across the face.

"upbraid!"

The sounds of conquering gods and demons reappear.

But having learned his lesson once, how could the Sage of Medicine be unprepared? His eyes turned dark green, completely unaffected by the demonic chants.

Lin Le had anticipated this, and a jade tablet appeared in his hand, containing a wisp of the divine soul of the Medical Saint.

Having read so many books and learned so many spells, Lin Le naturally knew some insidious spells.

For example, the Soul-Chasing Nail Technique!

The spell was cast, and the connection between the divine soul and the spirit was transmitted to the spirit of the Healer.

"Roar!" The Sage of Medicine suddenly raised his head and roared angrily. He was in so much pain that he had no mind to look at Lin Le.

Lin Le dodged the undiminished force of the giant palm and arrived above the Medical Saint. Then, all six hands, carrying magical artifacts, slammed down simultaneously.

The sun and moon revolve, cleansing the universe!
A pillar of light reached the heavens, piercing through the giant ape's hundred-foot-tall body.

During this time, the Nascent Soul cultivator who tried to escape was caught by Lin Le.

"Spare my life..."

Before he could beg for mercy, Lin Le stuffed it into the embroidered ball.

Get it!

Lin Le breathed a sigh of relief, retracted his three heads and six arms, and then flicked his finger, causing the Yin-Yang Twin Swords to split into countless forms, helping the Dao soldiers to slaughter.

After a long while, the shouts of killing gradually subsided. Lin Le glanced at the inner vision of his supernatural power and saw that his killing karma had surged to 18.26 million, his human merit had soared to 131.12 million, and his earthly merit had increased to 450,000.

How comforting! I no longer need to worry about the merits of the Out-of-Body Realm.

Lin Le whistled.

While the Dao soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, Lin Le used his divine sense to penetrate the embroidered ball and search the soul of the Medical Saint's nascent soul.

He remembered that the Sacred Heart Sect had two lineages: Invoking Gods and Driving Corpses, both of which belonged to the category of ghost cultivation. It would be even more satisfying if he could find traces of these two lineages.

The merit he gains at that time will probably allow him to directly advance to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Unfortunately, he was still helpless against the strange restriction and couldn't find any other Daoist lineages or dojos. Instead, he did find out some places where they frequented.

'What is the background of the Sacred Heart Sect Master, that he has set up such a bizarre restriction?'

Lin Le frowned. He could at least see traces of the other restrictions, and he could eventually find a way to break them by using human merit.

The problem is that he can't see a trace of it at all. Whenever he tries to access these memories, they inexplicably disappear, as if they've been eaten away.

Shaking his head, Lin Le stopped thinking. Perhaps he could get some clues by going to the Evil Suppression Division, since the Sacred Heart Sect was a registered demonic sect in the Northern Cao Dynasty.

Coincidentally, in the Medical Sage's memory, the Divine Invocation lineage of the Sacred Heart Sect was active in the region Lin Le was going to.

After taking stock of his spoils, Lin Le picked out five bottles of pills, all of which, like the Nascent Soul Heavenly Spirit Pill, could accelerate the cultivation of the spirit.

Even without the merit of the Daoist path, these five bottles of precious pills are barely enough for him to cultivate to the third stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

After cleaning up a certain sacred site, Lin Le and Ling Muzhu chose to go into seclusion there.

A month later, the three Nascent Soul cultivators took another step forward and landed steadily on the nineteenth step.

The third stage of the Out-of-Body technique has been completed.
