Immortality begins with inheriting the myriad arts of cultivation.

The sky was overcast, shrouded in a perpetual fog.

A majestic mountain range stretching for tens of thousands of miles lies beneath the sky, its strange shape resembling countless piled-up graves.

What's even more bizarre is that the mountain is covered with jagged, grayish-white rocks, with not a trace of green. Even when a few trees occasionally sprout from the cracks in the rocks, their twisting branches look rather eerie and terrifying.

This eerie mountain range is none other than the renowned Beiman Mountain.

In mortal legends, this mountain is the gateway between the underworld and the mortal world, and countless evil spirits that escape from the underworld are bound within this mountain.

Any living creature that dares to step inside will be devoured by the evil spirits and demons that fill the mountain in an instant.

The cultivators, however, knew that the truth was not as the legends described.

The reason why the environment of Beiman Mountain is so harsh is mainly because there is a high-level Yin Sha attribute spiritual vein at the foot of the mountain. The Yin Sha energy produced in the spiritual vein is a highly poisonous substance to human cultivators, but it is the favorite of ghosts, zombies and other evil spirits.

Therefore, almost all the demons and evil spirits of the Great Zhou Dynasty gathered in this mountain, including many fourth-order beings.

The demons of Beiman Mountain are led by a powerful mid-stage fourth-tier "Blood Wheel Corpse," which relies on the ghost array in the core area of ​​Beiman Mountain and the special Yin Sha environment.

Even if a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator were to arrive in person, they could only force the corpse back, but could not kill it!

Of course, this is mainly because the Corpse King himself is quite sensible, rarely venturing out of Beiman Mountain, and never provoking the Immortal Alliance.

Otherwise, even if he retreated to the Northern Mang Mountains, a powerful cultivator from the Immortal Alliance would still be able to annihilate him with his spiritual treasures.

However, the cost of using spiritual treasures was too high, and as long as the Corpse King behaved himself, the Immortal Alliance turned a blind eye to his existence.

……

The core area of ​​the Yin Sha spiritual vein in Beiman Mountain.

The figure clad in a black dragon robe suddenly looked up, its blood-red eyes gazing at the sky. It sensed a familiar and powerful aura rapidly approaching.

brush!

An illusion suddenly appeared in the hall, gradually solidifying into a towering figure.

He was simply dressed in a plain white robe. He was tall and slender with broad shoulders. Standing there, he exuded an air of composure, as if looking up at a majestic mountain, inspiring awe in all who beheld him.

His face appeared extremely dignified, like that of the Heavenly Court. He commands respect without anger.

A pair of gentle eyes that seemed to see through all the illusions of the world.

Seeing him gives one the feeling that in his presence, all things in heaven and earth should bow down.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, we meet again." The man looked at the Corpse King dressed in a dragon robe, his expression indifferent.

A barely perceptible glint of apprehension flashed in the Corpse King's blood-red eyes: "Fellow Daoist Yu, your cultivation of the 'Qian Tian Fei Ling Jing' has become increasingly powerful. Just now, even I was unable to detect the trajectory of your escape technique."

The man named Yu Daoyou frowned slightly but didn't say anything more.

The cultivation technique he practiced was indeed powerful, even among all the high-level techniques in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was one of the top-tier ones, and the accompanying escape technique could directly shield a cultivator's divine sense.

But he didn't use this escape technique just now.

The reason why the Corpse King said this was mainly because, as a zombie, his strength lay in his physical power, while his spiritual sense was weak, and his ability to detect things was far inferior to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator of the same level.

Fellow Daoist Yu said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Ye, I've thought of a time when our deal can be executed. I hope you have no problem with it."

'

Upon hearing this, the Corpse King chuckled sinisterly: "Heh heh, so you're finally going to make your move? Of course, I have no problem with that. You can use that hidden spiritual place in Beiman Mountain anytime, Fellow Daoist Yu. As for what happens next... as long as you find me the 'Three Yin God-Slaying Sword,' I can use its special properties to delay one of those three for you. However, you'll have to deal with the other two yourself, Fellow Daoist Yu."

Fellow Daoist Yu nodded: "Fellow Daoist Ye, please rest assured, I have already made progress on the Three Yin God-Slaying Sword, and I will be able to find it for you soon."

"Since Fellow Daoist Yu says so, then there's no problem." The Corpse King said in a sinister tone, "However, I still have some concerns about Fellow Daoist Yu's promise. If I really anger those three old guys, won't my use of the Immortal Alliance's teleportation array cause unexpected problems?"

"After all, as far as I know, that teleportation array leading to the Nine Provinces Continent is jointly controlled by those three old guys. Using it once is extremely costly, and those three old guys probably won't be too happy about what we've done."

Fellow Daoist Yu looked at the Corpse King, as he was well aware of the Corpse King's purpose in using the teleportation array.

This corpse was a Nascent Soul cultivator in life who spent his entire life researching the art of refining corpses by "reversing Yin and Yang," attempting to resurrect his loved ones.

However, this kind of "reversal of yin and yang" is a violation of the rules of heaven and earth. Therefore, after a long period of research, this corpse has not gained anything at all.

So he deliberately told the corpse: The Nine Provinces Continent is the most prosperous place in this world, where even Nascent Soul cultivators can be found, and high-level secret techniques and arts are emerging one after another. If you go to the Nine Provinces Continent, you may be able to get what you want.

After the Corpse King was tempted, he finally agreed to use the teleportation array to the Nine Provinces in exchange for the other party's help.

Thinking of this, Fellow Daoist Yu said calmly, "Of course I promised, and I will allow Fellow Daoist Ye to use the teleportation array."

"Then I can rest assured."

……

In a cave by the river.

Li Ping met Wei Yiling and Feng Xishuang, who had come to visit him.

Needless to say, Wei Yiling came to ask Li Ping to remove the Soul-Devouring Restriction from her.

As for Feng Xishuang, she came to ask Li Ping about the art of puppet making.

After removing the Soul-Devouring Restriction from Wei Yiling's soul, Li Ping looked at the cyan puppet that Feng Xishuang had taken out.

It must be said that Feng Xishuang's talent in the art of puppetry is truly astonishing.

Especially after receiving guidance from Li Ping multiple times, she successfully advanced her puppetry skills to the second tier in just about twenty years and created her first second-tier low-grade puppet.

Although in Li Ping's view, the puppet in front of him still had many shortcomings and could not play a significant role in actual combat, it was undoubtedly a second-tier low-grade puppet.

Li Ping scanned the puppet with his divine sense and instantly understood its shortcomings. Then he patiently explained them to Feng Xishuang one by one.

With his mastery of puppetry, his guidance on the problems Feng Xishuang encountered was naturally insightful and comprehensive.

Feng Xishuang nodded repeatedly as she listened, occasionally revealing a look of sudden realization.

After a long silence, Li Ping finished speaking.

Feng Xishuang stood up and bowed respectfully: "Thank you for your guidance, Master Li. I have benefited greatly from it."

Li Ping smiled without saying a word, accepting her bow with composure.

As the saying goes, "Teach your apprentice, and you'll starve."

Advanced cultivation skills represent high status and immense benefits.

Therefore, cultivators usually cherish their skills and only pass them on to their direct disciples and descendants.

Given Li Ping's patient guidance to Feng Xishuang, it was only natural for her to address him as "Teacher Li".
