Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Chapter 239 Cowardly Nature

The dim, round moon exuded desolation.

It was so enormous that it was awe-inspiring, filling every corner of the field of vision.

This made it impossible for anything else to fit into this deductive picture.

The Moon-Eating Wolf, where is the wolf?

Lin Shu looked bewildered. He had already poured in a million silver coins, and now he had added another five million. Based on his experience in deduce inner techniques, this was more than enough to bring a single immortal technique to the late Nascent Soul stage.

Now all we get in return is a dim, gloomy moon?

He strained his eyes, hoping to glean some clues from it, while Daowen's heart pounded violently, trying to clear his master's thoughts.

Just then, Lin Shu felt a vast suction force that pulled all his consciousness into it.

boom!

With a deafening roar in his ears, Lin Shu finally saw the interior of the moon.

That was an endless horizon.

It was like the world at its very beginning, a desolate wasteland.

"I am Sirius, and this is the Great Moon within me!"

Lin Shu gradually understood what was going on, and then a notification popped up in front of him.

The writing on it was twisted and contorted wildly, as if it were alive.

The influx of vast amounts of evil silver seemed to give them inexhaustible power.

Finally, they came to a standstill, transforming into two dazzling, brilliant characters.

Mountains and seas!!

This seems to be the most difficult hurdle to overcome when deducing the cultivation method.

The moment the characters for "mountain and sea" appeared, the rest of the characters unfolded naturally.

[Mountain and Sea Nascent Soul Technique, Reversing Calamity and Stealing the Secret Chapter, Yellow Springs Nine Netherworlds Spirit-Capturing Technique: Introduction]

The remaining evil silver transformed into black light, surging like a tidal wave, constantly completing this Mountain and Sea Immortal Technique and impacting layer upon layer of barriers.

Beginner, minor mastery — mastery!

The hazy, round moon became increasingly stable, though it remained empty, while the horizon rose high, transforming into a colossal peak supporting the sky.

"Ho! Ho!"

Lin Shu was in a daze, trying to process the new information in her mind.

Sirius devours the moon, and the moon transforms into the Yellow Springs.

This is his own world of consciousness.

"This isn't just the Reverse Hijacking Arc—this shouldn't just be the Reverse Hijacking Arc!"

Lin Shu suddenly began to mutter to herself.

His unfocused pupils began to refocus on the words "Yellow Springs," sensing an aura similar to that of "Golden Peak."

Jin Feng is the title of a certain master, and the body tempering technique that Lin Shu practices originated from them.

If immortal techniques are a path to enlightenment, then the so-called "reversing calamities and stealing opportunities" method is nothing more than finding loopholes and flaws in the techniques passed down by these masters.

It's like looking for a side road on the main road and then using it as an opportunity to hide.

But this style of mountain and sea immortal technique is different.

It created the title "Yellow Springs," which is equivalent to trying to open up a completely new path.

This means that if Lin Shu can completely perfect this method, he can even bestow binding Dao patterns upon others and become a master like Jin Feng.

"Is this the path required to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

"Unfortunately, it's not an internal technique."

Lin Shu made wild guesses in her mind, feeling both overjoyed and regretful.

If this is an internal method, he can follow this path to deduce until he knocks on the threshold of the Nascent Soul realm.

Well, at least this method has given us a glimpse of the direction.

The path of carefree living is not the end; stealing a sliver of hope and eking out a living is by no means the best outcome for demon cultivators.

There is indeed something even more domineering than the Reverse Heist arc!

"call."

Lin Shu suppressed her thoughts and refocused her attention on the Mountain and Sea Immortal Technique itself.

The Secret of Capturing the Spirit in the Nine Netherworlds of the Underworld.

As the name suggests, it still follows the old path of the Qi family, specializing in techniques that focus on the soul.

Creating a large moon in the sea of ​​consciousness can capture a person's soul and imprison them in the Yellow Springs. If one successfully subdues the person, one can not only use them as a vassal ghost, but also explore parts of their memories by tearing at their soul.

Even if this person cannot endure the torment and their three souls and seven spirits perish, they will not be able to return to heaven and earth and enter the cycle of reincarnation. Instead, they will become food for their own soul.

It can not only nourish the soul and spirit, but also make the Yellow Springs world more stable.

"Take it all and leave nothing behind."

Lin Shu sighed softly.

As expected, it's the usual style of evil silver, so vicious it's chilling.

As the saying goes, killing someone is nothing more than a beheading.

This kind of magic is clearly against the natural order, making it more like a ghost messenger than a ghost official. It's as if it's creating a small underworld outside of the main underworld, and secretly becoming the King of Hell himself.

However, in extraordinary times, extraordinary measures are sometimes necessary.

Lin Shu's understanding of Hengshui was extremely limited. With this immortal technique at his disposal, he could finally have more ways to understand the other side.

Moreover, as long as the moon over the Yellow Springs never sets, the soul of this deity will never perish.

If someone else were to use similar underhanded tactics, I would need to have a way to defend myself.

Lin Shu's true form slowly opened her eyes.

While the evil silver was being poured into the Moon-Eating Wolf, the benevolent silver was also nurturing the Calamity-Crossing Phoenix.

His cultivation level has long been improved. Even without revealing the second aspect of the demon infant, his current state is no longer that of a cultivator who had just entered the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm and whose foundation was not yet stable.

In terms of spiritual power cultivation alone, Lin Shu is now definitely at the top level among those in the same realm.

The Phoenix Changing the Sun Divine Skill is also constantly evolving.

Presumably, once this donation is fully processed, there will be new developments.

I was originally thinking about whether I should plan how to use the gold essence.

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Shu turned her gaze downstairs.

Inside the inn that had already closed.

The group looked at each other, all somewhat unable to believe their ears.

Even Yuan Yuan, who was used to being arrogant, was no exception.

He simply disdained living alone and had never learned how to please others, which is why he declined the Ning family's invitation to "interview" for a son-in-law position.

But that doesn’t mean he lacks basic judgment.

In terms of appearance, the woman before him was absolutely stunning; in terms of family background, it would be difficult to find a better choice than the eldest daughter of the Ning family, even across both countries.

It's not that she's above everyone else.

Instead, those with even higher status than her belong to the Hengshui Immortal's side. In the eyes of the immortal descendants, demon cultivators are nothing more than pigs and dogs. Who would have any close relationship with pigs and dogs?

Even if we take a step back and look at individual cultivation level alone...

The Ning family girl simply lacked experience; even without using the treasures she brought from home, her cultivation level was the highest among everyone present.

After all, this woman is comparable to Luo Fengming, the one who can make Hengshui Wangsun unable to raise his head.

They probably don't even have the right to meet the prince.

The difference between them cannot be clearly described in just a few words.

Such a woman actually used the phrase "please come to see me" when addressing a carefree demon king!

Even though Yuan Yuan thought highly of Lin Shu and even intended to match her with his daughter, he still felt there was definitely something wrong with the matter.

"Is there something you need?" Old He asked tentatively.

He was just mocking everyone.

But when Miss Ning actually arrived, the old man worried that the idle demon kings might not know the rules and cause unnecessary trouble, so he stepped forward to protect them.

Ning Qingzhi sensed the strange yet wary gazes from the crowd.

She pursed her lips, then suddenly stood up and calmly took things out of her storage ring.

There was a map depicting a dragon girl offering a treasure, a spirit jade tablet recording the scene of a great demon from Cold Mountain wreaking havoc on the human world, and a total of five items, all neatly placed on the table.

Every time Ning Qingzhi put down an item, Lao He's eyelids would twitch violently.

Until the very end.

The old man dared not breathe, and lowered his head with a guilty look in his eyes.

"I didn't think much about it before; I was just indignant about the injustices in the world," Ning Qingzhi said, looking down.

"Perhaps because I was just frightened, my mind is actually much clearer now."

She said seriously, "I don't think it's such a coincidence. You obviously knew where I was."

Under Ning Qingzhi's sweeping gaze.

Yuan Yuan suddenly sighed softly.

He had previously thought that since he was already on the verge of success, he could just let fate decide.

It seems I still have to push myself.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have much confidence in front of a young girl.

"How do you plan to resolve this?" Yuan Yuan looked up and saw that while Lin Shu was adjusting her breathing, he naturally took over as the main person in charge.

Something was definitely wrong; the overly polite tone was actually a sign that the visitor had ill intentions.

"I want an explanation."

Ning Qingzhi reached out her fair hands and pressed them firmly against the scroll on the table.

At the very least, she has the right to know why these people are treating her this way, and what their purpose is.

"They don't know? Are you getting senile too? Don't you know the consequences of plotting against the eldest daughter of the Heavenly Demon Palace?" Dongling gritted her teeth and looked at Old He with hatred.

She said that she was clearly just collecting information perfunctorily, so why did so much information seem to have wings and fly towards them on its own?

So someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes!

"I, I—" Old He lowered his head in shame. Given his current status, how could he possibly offer any explanation?

Those who were qualified have already perished within that curtain of water.

"Speak!" Ning Qingzhi suddenly raised her voice, her fingers on the scroll tightening slightly with nervousness. She wanted to join the group, follow the young man, and find out what he was doing.

But her pride as a daughter of the Ning family wouldn't allow her to knowingly be manipulated and continue to be used.

That's why she resorted to this desperate measure to seize the initiative first.

Even if everyone ends up participating, there's still a difference in who ultimately takes the lead and who has the final say.

Old He's face turned red, and he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

If he were to say even half a wrong word, he would not only lose his own life, but he would also likely implicate these demon kings.

But if we honestly say that this was all the young master's idea and shift the blame onto a dead person, would the other party really believe it?

After all, this group of people is continuing to do what the young master failed to accomplish.

"Miss Ning————"

For some reason, Su Xin could never sense any genuine malice from the two women.

She inexplicably felt that the other party wasn't there to settle scores.

Therefore, while the others were unsure how to respond, she spoke softly, intending to apologize first and then explain in detail.

Just then, a nonchalant voice came from the stairwell.

"Luo Fengming wants you to die in Hengshui."

'

Ning Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned around to look. After seeing the handsome young man strolling towards her and the calm and composed expression on his face, her aura inexplicably dissipated by half.

"Then, what's your relationship with him?" she swallowed and asked softly.

The contrast between the two states of this esteemed being was so great that it not only left the onlookers stunned once again, but even Dongling couldn't help but stomp her foot.

It's true what they say: once bitten by a snake, twice shy.

Why did the young lady immediately cower like a mouse seeing a cat the moment she saw the robber?

Fortunately, although the robber still appeared lazy, he at least offered an explanation and didn't seem inclined to escalate the situation.

"It's alright."

Lin Shu approached and shook her head.

"Oh, oh—then—" Ning Qingzhi forced a smile, trying to save face.

"But I think he did a good job, so I plan to continue."

Lin Shu's casual remark almost made Yuan Yuan choke on his tea, and Su Xin Cang Li and Lao He also looked up in astonishment.

He just openly and frankly admitted it to the other person.

Could it be that the Demon King Lin is trying to provoke the Ning family's daughter so much that he'll keep this noble being alive by having her hunted down?

间？

as predicted.

Dongling opened her mouth slightly and widened her eyes.

Ning Qingzhi's smile froze instantly, and a blush rose visibly to her fair, jade-like face.

She swore that she had no intention of getting angry at anyone before hearing those words.

And they were very grateful to the demon kings for saving their lives.

Even if the hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scenario is a bit—well—just like the men they're paired with, a bit too old.

She just found it interesting.

But now, Ning Qingzhi was truly puzzled: "I grew up at home since I was a child and have never traveled far from home. I have never offended anyone and have nothing to do with these things."

Her voice grew increasingly rapid.

Under these circumstances, why does the other party feel no shame whatsoever for wanting to kill him, but instead act as if it's perfectly justified?!

He faced the questioning gaze of the Ning family woman.

Lin Shu's expression gradually became serious. He stopped at the table, seemingly pondering the other person's words.

"The immortal sects need to curb their incense offerings, so they constantly force cultivators to fall into the path of demons."

A look of reminiscence appeared in the young man's eyes, as if he were recalling the time he spent at the border.

He then looked at the leopard on the table and said calmly, "The Heavenly Demon Palace needs to maintain its power and prestige, so it uses the Carefree Technique to attract all the demons in the world to work for it and fight against Hengshui."

"It is because of these events that the two kingdoms of Hengshui have suffered so many so-called demonic calamities."

"These things have nothing to do with us, and we haven't provoked anyone."

At this point, Lin Shu sighed, "In the end, when the immortals went on their inspection, it was only us who needed to be cleaned up."

He placed both palms on the table, making him half a head taller than Ning Qingzhi: "So, there's no point in arguing. If you're not convinced, then accept it."

The last half of the sentence is unclear; it's unclear whether it's self-deprecation or mockery of the other person.

And once again, their eyes met at such close range.

Ning Qingzhi had been reviewing the situation in her mind ever since the last time, and she knew she would perform even better if a similar situation occurred.

But at this moment, she bit her lip, remained silent for a long time, and then timidly sat back down.

"Just accept it!"
