Chapter 327 Return to Tianlu Mountains
In Xiao Lin's opinion, the Qingyang Jian in his hand is at least an ownerless magic weapon, and it looks very spiritual, so it might be a spiritual treasure.
However, he still cannot distinguish between magic weapons and spiritual treasures at his current level, unless he enters the Jindan stage and uses the method of refining to finally distinguish.
But whether it is a magic weapon or a spiritual treasure, it is a great opportunity for Xiao Lin. As long as he can enter the Jindan stage, this Qingyang Jian can be used directly. For him, it is a timely help.
Xiao Lin turned the Qingyang Jian over and saw that there were many ancient seal patterns engraved on it. I think it is the mantra and mental method that drives it, which needs to be carefully comprehended in the future.
This is naturally not a problem for him. Xiao Lin happily put the Qingyang Jian into the storage bag, and then after a little thought, he took out the Tianlu token from the storage bag.
He began to chant the spell, and a ball of white light enveloped him. Xiao Lin felt his eyes darken, and in a breath, when his eyes brightened, he was already halfway up a mountain.
The teleportation array on the Tianlu token was random, which meant that he was already a thousand miles away from the Tiandu Mountains, but he didn't know the exact location.
Xiao Lin drove the Bingluan Sword and flew to the top of the mountain. Looking around, he saw an endless primeval forest in front of him, and he didn't know where this place was.
This made Xiao Lin a little depressed, but after thinking about it, Xiao Lin's face showed a hesitant expression again.
He simply sat on a rock and began to think carefully.
Xiao Lin wondered if he should go back now. When they came out, a large number of cultivators from the Ancient Xuan Sect had already attacked the Snow Prison Pass, and the five major sects had already begun to organize inner and outer disciples to go to the Snow Prison Pass to meet the enemy.
The fighting at the Snow Prison Pass must be extremely brutal. Although the five of them completed the mission and killed the purple-haired youth, as long as the purple-haired youth died, the Black Demon Sect’s Grand Elder Jiumo Luo would definitely know it immediately.
But whether he would break through the pass and lead the Black Demon Sect disciples to kill into the Ancient Xuan Mountain is still unknown. Even if Jiumo Luo really led a large number of Black Demon Sect cultivators to kill into the Ancient Xuan Mountain, there would be a time difference.
Whether the five major sects in the Tianlu Mountains can hold out until then is a matter of debate.
If I go back now, I might just catch up with the most brutal battle. Although I have completed the mission and have the right to be exempted from this war, if the Ancient Xuan Sect really invades Tianlu Mountain, they will not care whether I am exempted or not. As long as they meet, they will definitely not let me go.
"Fly away?" Xiao Lin wondered whether to leave Dancao Mountain and travel around. After all, in addition to the Ancient Xuan Sect, the Black Demon Sect, the Beilan Sect and the Hanhai Palace, there are three other sects in the Southern Territory, and they are all in the north of the Southern Territory. Are there other sects outside the north of the Southern Territory?
Xiao Lin was full of curiosity about all this, but after thinking for half an hour, Xiao Lin decided to return to Dancao Mountain. After all, the key related to the Langhuan Secret Realm was still in his own cave in Dancao Mountain.
Guxuan Sect would not attack Dancao Mountain. If they really did, it would basically indicate that the five major sects in the Tianlu Mountain Range had failed in this war.
If it really came to this, even if he didn't want to leave, he had to leave.
.....
Early the next morning, Xiao Lin woke up from his meditation, and then drove the Bingluan Sword. Through the rising sun, he roughly identified the direction, flew to the southeast, and disappeared in the sky in the blink of an eye.
A few months later, after passing through the Wanli Snow Plain, Xiao Lin arrived in front of the Snow Prison Pass. The entire Snow Prison Pass had almost become a ruin.
Xiao Lin observed from a distance for half a day outside the Snow Prison Pass. After confirming that no cultivators from the Ancient Xuan Sect were staying, he carefully entered the pass.
Looking at the broken walls in front of him, the lively scene in the past in the Snow Prison Pass disappeared. Those shops were obviously robbed and bombarded with magic. Most of them had collapsed.
The number of cultivators was also reduced by more than 90%. On the street, there were a few cultivators coming and going in a hurry. It seemed that they were just passing by and had no intention of staying in the Snow Prison Pass.
After half a day, Xiao Lin finally found out about the war.
It turned out that more than a month ago, a large number of cultivators from the Ancient Xuan Sect and a large number of independent cultivators attacked the Snow Prison Pass. The Snow Prison Pass was only defended for three days before it was exhausted. When it was in danger, many cultivators from the five major sects of the Tianlu Mountains finally arrived.
A fierce battle began. The five major sects sent out 30,000 foundation-building disciples and Qi-refining disciples. After the battle, the five major sects suffered heavy losses, and at least half of the cultivators who came to reinforce them died.
The Guxuan Sect was not much better. At least nearly 10,000 disciples died in the battle, and thousands of the scattered cultivators they brought with them also died in the battle.
However, the cultivators of the Guxuan Sect were more united, and there were still a large number of cultivators coming from behind. The five major sects immediately began to lose their strength. The city defense formation of the Snow Prison Pass was breached several times. Seeing that the Snow Prison Pass was about to be lost, the Guxuan Sect was about to break through the Snow Prison Pass and enter the Tianlu Mountains.
But ten days ago, the Guxuan Sect suddenly stopped the attack, and after hastily cleaning up the battlefield, they left the Snow Prison Pass and returned to the Wanli Snow Plain.
The war ended here. After both sides paid a heavy price of tens of thousands of people, it ended hastily. Even many cultivators in the Snow Prison Pass were confused. They didn't understand why the Ancient Xuan Sect retreated in a hurry when they had the upper hand.
After hearing this, Xiao Lin's heart was finally put down. It seemed that the task of the five of them to kill the purple-haired young man had achieved the expected effect.
If the Black Demon Sect had not attacked the Ancient Xuan Sect, they would definitely not retreat when they had the upper hand. It seemed that the Ancient Xuan Sect should be in a state of panic at this moment. They were inexplicably killed by a large number of cultivators led by the Black Demon Sect.
The Black Demon Sect was not comparable to the five major sects. Under the massive invasion, the Ancient Xuan Sect had to do its best to fight. This was also the fundamental reason why they chose to retreat when they were about to conquer the Snow Prison Pass.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin no longer hesitated. After passing through the Snow Prison Pass, he drove the escape light towards the Tianlu Mountains.
A few days later, Xiao Lin entered Dancao Mountain in a dusty state. After circling for a while, he flew straight to his cave.
After entering the cave, Xiao Lin first searched carefully and confirmed that it was exactly the same as before he left. Then he walked into the lounge, climbed onto the stone bed, covered himself with a quilt, and fell asleep.
It was not until the third day that Xiao Lin woke up. The fatigue on his face was swept away, and his spirit and energy had recovered to the best state.
After washing up, Xiao Lin first went to the spirit beast room. He walked into the side room inside and found that the snow-white insect eggs were still in a dormant state. At this time, Xiao Lin's mind moved, and two blood-red spirit insects the size of fingernails flew out from the corner of the side room.
They flew to Xiao Lin's side, circling around him non-stop, with an intimate look. Xiao Lin gently stretched out his right hand, spread out his five fingers, and the two blood-red spirit insects fell obediently on his palm.
Xiao Lin couldn't help but get close to them and carefully observed the two true-level Soul Devouring Fire Gu. The two little guys were flying without making any sound, unlike those ordinary Soul Devouring Fire Gu, which were accompanied by a harsh "buzzing" sound during flight.
Moreover, the wings and backs of these two true-level Soul Devouring Fire Gu were flashing with tiny red spiritual patterns, which kept flashing.
In contrast, their heads accounted for two-thirds of the entire body, and their long red faces were covered with tiny scales. Compared with the exposed fangs of ordinary-level ones, these two true-level Soul Devouring Fire Gu did not look ferocious.
But as Xiao Lin's mind moved, the two true-level Soul Devouring Fire Gu suddenly became angry, and their faces suddenly split apart, revealing a jagged mouth full of fangs. At first glance, it seemed that the head had only one mouth.
At the same time, a strange breath that captured people's hearts emanated. After sensing this breath, Xiao Lin was also surprised and thought, "Could this be the demonic energy of a true-level demon beast?"
Although there are demonic energy in the bodies of ordinary-level demon beasts, the amount is very small. True-level demon beasts are different. They can passively devour spiritual energy to refine it into demonic power in their bodies. Once it erupts, it can not only enhance their own defense, but also increase their own speed.
Thereby making their own attacks more sharp and powerful.
After observing the two little guys for a long time, Xiao Lin took out a few five-element spiritual herbs from the storage bag, put them in the side room, and then left the spirit beast room.
The advancement of the Soul Devouring Fire Gu is a long process. Xiao Lin returned to the training room, sat down, and began to think in his heart. After he entered the late stage of foundation building, the effect of the ordinary Soul Devouring Fire Gu on him was very limited.
After all, if he encountered an ordinary foundation-building cultivator, he didn't need to cast these Soul Devouring Fire Gu at all. He could deal with it with his own combat power. Xiao Lin was thinking whether to stimulate the devouring instinct of the ordinary Soul Devouring Fire Gu through spiritual herbs, and then advance to the true level.
Through experiments, he has been convinced that this method can allow the Soul Devouring Fire Gu to complete the advancement.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Lin finally made up his mind. In addition to leaving about a thousand Soul Devouring Fire Gu for breeding, the rest of the Soul Devouring Fire Gu began to be used for advancement.
Xiao Lin put all the 30,000 or so Soul Devouring Fire Gu into a spirit beast bag, and then put in a large amount of Spirit Mist Grass and Rejuvenation Flower. After seeing these little guys excitedly pounce on these two spiritual herbs, Xiao Lin withdrew from the spiritual consciousness.
For the Soul Devouring Fire Gu, the rest can only be waited. The advancement of spiritual insects is not achieved overnight, and it is time-consuming and laborious. This is also the fundamental reason why Xiao Lin decided to use all the ordinary Soul Devouring Fire Gu for advancement.
After doing all this, Xiao Lin began to think about his cultivation plan for the next period of time.
