Chapter 270: Re-visiting Thousand Illusion Mountain

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Lin Jing's expression suddenly change drastically and looking in a certain direction, the Senior Sister Xu Qingyao couldn't help but ask.

She looked in the direction of Lin Jing's gaze and found nothing.

However, she could perceive that in other directions, powerhouses of unknown origin were secretly observing this place.

This was not a strange thing. The arrival of so many Demon Emperors with such great fanfare in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect would definitely attract the caution of local powerhouses.

"I have a feeling that my phantom body has been seen through." Lin Jing transmitted his voice to the Senior Sister.

"What kind of person can see through your illusion technique..." Xu Qingyao paused. She knew Lin Jing's illusion attainments, and besides, there was the Avoiding Demon Core she gave him. Even Ancestor Kong Xuan couldn't see through it!

"Wait... Thousand Illusion Mountain." The Senior Sister suddenly realized something.

Lin Jing also made this judgment: "In this Senluo Dao, the only one capable of seeing through my illusion technique is probably the ancestor of the Thousand Illusion Mountain. I thought that after I condensed the 'prototype of the spell spirit', I could hide it from her, but it seems that her illusion attainments have absolutely reached the step of 'prototype of the spell spirit', or even cultivated a real 'illusion spell spirit'."

Xu Qingyao recalled: "Before coming to merge the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, I conducted an investigation on the situation of Senluo Dao. This ancestor of the Thousand Illusion Mountain is indeed a genius of illusion. She has a natural illusion body, and her magic power naturally has illusion properties. She has a natural illusion pupil, and her eyes had the ability to confuse people when she was a mortal. After she achieved success in cultivation, no one dared to offend her, because even powerhouses one or two realms higher than her could not find her trace at all."

"It is also for this reason that the Thousand Illusion Mountain has stood for a thousand years without falling. Even if it is a Ancestor Kong Xuan force, it does not dare to underestimate this Thousand Illusion Mountain. After all, facing an illusion master, even if the Ancestor Kong Xuan great cultivator himself is not afraid, but without countermeasures, if offended to death, it will be a nightmare for the low-level cultivators in his own force."

"Senior Sister, please go to the Thousand Illusion Mountain with me again!" Lin Jing planned to find out.

The spiritual sense communication between the two was extremely fast. After handing over the Ten Thousand Beast Sect to Elder Li to manage, and letting the Demon Emperor guardians wait here to guard the Ten Thousand Beast Sect that had lost its sect-protecting magic treasure, they turned and rushed to the Thousand Illusion Mountain.

This move directly scared the Flower Sect Master. This Demon Court, wouldn't it continue to merge the Thousand Illusion Mountain after merging the Ten Thousand Beast Sect?

Could it be that they want to merge the entire Senluo Dao?

…………

Thousand Illusion Mountain, after the ancestor Huan Li returned to the sect, she secretly hated why she was so curious to take another look. Before she could think of a solution, two familiar auras had already descended on the Thousand Illusion Mountain.

Thousand Illusion Mountain Sect Master Huan Gongming was shocked and just wanted to go out to explore, when the voice of the ancestor Huan Li came to his ears.

"Gongming, you step back, leave it to me to solve."

"Yes, Old Ancestor." Huan Gongming retreated, and at the same time entered the core area of the sect-protecting array, waiting for the result of the negotiations between the two sides.

Outside the illusion mountain, Huan Li flew up into the sky with a smile, looking at the descending Xu Qingyao and Lin Jing.

"I don't know what the dignified Demon Court Third Saintess Highness is doing here at the Thousand Illusion Mountain?"

"Senior Sister, it's her." Lin Jing was sure: "Although she is more than a thousand years old, her appearance is still that of a little girl. The most important thing is that I can perceive that she is a phantom, but I can't see through the true body under her phantom. Her illusion attainments are definitely above mine."

"Thousand Illusion Venerable, you know too much. It seems that today... wait, what is a little girl?" The Senior Sister Xu Qingyao stared at this Thousand Illusion Mountain ancestor unkindly, and then asked Lin Jing.

"Uh, it probably means a little girl. It's our hometown dialect."

"So that's how it is." The Senior Sister nodded.

"Damn, are you guys unreasonable." The Thousand Illusion Mountain ancestor suddenly broke into a curse and said: "I didn't just take a few more looks, could it be that you guys still want to merge my Thousand Illusion Mountain like merging the Ten Thousand Beast Sect?"

"I tell you, my Thousand Illusion Mountain is not as easy to provoke as the Ten Thousand Beast Sect..."

"And, this kid sneaked into my Thousand Illusion Mountain to steal secrets, and I haven't said anything yet."

Just as Xu Qingyao said, the Thousand Illusion Mountain ancestor indeed had more confidence than the Ten Thousand Beast Sect Master. 【

Just as Xu Qingyao had said, the Thousand Illusions Mountain's Ancestor indeed had more confidence than the Master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate.

When facing the strong, the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate could only obediently accept their fate; they couldn't even put up a fight.

But the Thousand Illusions Mountain was different. Its Ancestor's illusion techniques had reached the pinnacle. If she were determined to hide and flee, unless a supreme expert took action, few people could keep her there.

"Ancestor, no need to be nervous. I have indeed learned the Thousand Illusions Mountain's techniques, but how can that be considered stealing? To this day, I am still a disciple of the Thousand Illusions Mountain. Could it be that the Ancestor no longer recognizes me as a disciple?" Lin Jing chuckled.

The Thousand Illusions Mountain's Ancestor's mouth twitched; she didn't dare to acknowledge this disciple.

If people found out that Lin Jing had joined the Thousand Illusions Mountain, would the Thousand Illusions Mountain ever have a day of peace?

The Yinshi Sect, the Gushen Sect, the Heavenly Lion Clan—which of these forces could the Thousand Illusions Mountain afford to offend?

Of course, the Demon Court... the Thousand Illusions Mountain couldn't afford to offend them either, because she seemed to remember that there was a clan within the Demon Court called the Chameleon Clan, which was also extremely proficient in illusion techniques. Although she was extremely confident in her own illusions, she didn't dare to underestimate these masters of illusion among the demon beasts.

The most important thing was that Lin Jing was young, yet his attainments in illusion techniques were already close to hers. In the future, she truly dared not imagine what level his illusionary achievements could reach.

"You all should leave quickly. I saw nothing, and I know nothing. From now on, the Thousand Illusions Mountain intends to seal the mountain for five hundred years and will not ask about worldly affairs." The Thousand Illusions Ancestor waved her hand to dismiss the guests.

"That won't do." After pondering, Xu Qingyao said, "Venerable Thousand Illusions, I see that your Thousand Illusions Mountain is also suffering from a lack of successors. In a thousand years, no disciple with the potential for Soul Transformation like you has appeared. Why don't you continue to acknowledge him as a disciple? In the future, this Thousand Illusions Mountain will be passed down to him. With his talent in the Dao of Illusions, he certainly..."

"... will not disgrace the reputation of your Thousand Illusions Mountain."

"You are getting on in years; you should give up worldly affairs and focus on pursuing that Ancestor Kong Xuan Realm. You shouldn't put your mind on the sect anymore. With your current realm, the sect is no longer of much help to you. How about this: he will take over the Thousand Illusions Mountain, and you accompany me to the Demon Court. Doesn't your Thousand Illusions Mountain specialize in the Dao of Illusionary Beasts? When the time comes, I will introduce you to the various Demon Ancestors to discuss the Dao together. What do you think?"

"Uh..." The Thousand Illusions Mountain's Ancestor, Huan Li, was stunned.

She looked at Lin Jing; she had indeed never seen anyone with such heaven-defying attainments in illusion techniques. If the inheritance of the Thousand Illusions Mountain fell into Lin Jing's hands, it would indeed be a sign of great prosperity.

What she was most worried about was the sect. If the sect's inheritance was guaranteed, she could indeed pursue the Ancestor Kong Xuan Dao with peace of mind.

Xu Qingyao had truly moved her with those words.

"I believe the Venerable one is a smart person. You won't regret this choice. Hanging out with us will definitely be better than your Thousand Illusions Mountain developing on its own!" Xu Qingyao laughed carelessly.

The Thousand Illusions Mountain's Ancestor's face turned dark. Damn, you junior... did you say the same thing to the Master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate just now?
