Chapter 561: Immortal Remnant Soul

On the other side, in Cicheng.

Hu Yousong, the leader of the Dao Alliance, arrived in person. Lin Jing had returned, and Hu Yousong judged that he would certainly return home.

This Cicheng was undoubtedly Lin Jing's current residence.

However, before he could even begin to search for Lin Jing according to the temporary address of Lin Jing's parents that the Dao Alliance had investigated, Hu Yousong, this False Core cultivator, suddenly felt a chill down his back.

His entire body froze in mid-air, shivering, and before he knew it, his whole body was bound by pure white spider silk, unable to move.

"This, this..."

Hu Yousong was greatly alarmed and struggled with all his might, but he still could not move. Even the precious armor that his Junior Brother had given him—which was said to be able to defend against attacks from the Deity Transformation stage—as well as the talisman that could transform into a talisman clone, showed no reaction at all under this spider silk.

Focusing his senses, he realized they had all been frozen by frost...

"Senior, I do not know which Senior this is. I am Hu Yousong of the Dao Alliance; I have no intention of offending you."

"It's you." A moment later, everything before Hu Yousong's eyes changed. Before him was pitch black, and he felt as if he were trapped inside a giant white birdcage.

A spider-like creature dropped from the sky along a white thread and appeared before Hu Yousong.

Hu Yousong was incomparably shocked, not understanding what this thing was. Wasn't his Junior Brother very powerful? How could the things he gave him... all lose their effect in front of this spider monster?

"Sen, Senior, do you know me?"

The Ice Soul Gu nodded; after all, it was inheriting the memories of the Mother Gu in real-time.

It naturally knew Hu Yousong.

However, seeing that it was Hu Yousong, the Ice Soul Gu was also very disappointed!

Why wasn't it an enemy!

After one failed mission, the Ice Soul Gu had become even stricter with the requirements for the Child Gu, fearing that the protection mission Lin Jing had assigned to it would also encounter accidents.

Facing the death penalty from the Mother Gu, the Child Gu naturally executed the security mission even more strictly.

Just like here in Cicheng, the Ice Soul Gu directly used spider silk to surround the entire Cicheng in the form of a birdcage. It could perceive every cultivator entering or leaving Cicheng at the first moment.

As for cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage, it even made sure to intercept every single one it encountered, directly stopping them to investigate their intentions. If there was no malice, it would erase their memories and let them pass.

Although doing this was very tiring, in order not to disappoint the Mother Gu, the Child Gu could only work this hard.

"You are looking for Master, what for?" the Child Gu asked.

This sentence of its made Hu Yousong wake up, and he immediately knew the spider's identity: "Master? Yes, I have something to find Senior Lin for. I want to present this to Senior Lin; there is absolutely no malice!"

A token appeared in Hu Yousong's hand.

The Ice Soul Gu pulled it over to observe it for a moment.

"This is the Dao Alliance's Highest Executive Decree. The Dao Alliance stipulates that anyone who sees this decree, no cultivator may resist or fail to cooperate with the requirements of the decree holder. Those who violate it are enemies of the entire Dao Alliance."

"I think Senior Lin is low-key and will inevitably encounter some blind fellows. With this decree..."

"Unnecessary." The Ice Soul Gu curled its lips and threw the token back to Hu Yousong. At this time, the Child Gu also received a remote instruction from the Mother Gu and said: "If you want to send it, just send it directly to Zijin Mountain. Master and the others are over there."

Zijin Mountain? The Jiangnan Cultivator Grand Gathering... Senior Lin went there!

"Alright, this junior will go right away." After Hu Yousong was untied, he hurriedly turned around, not daring to approach Cicheng by even half a step.

At the same time.

Zijin Mountain Cultivator Town.

Lin Jing and the Ice Soul Gu were walking down the street while communicating.

On both sides of the street here were shops selling antiques, elixirs, and magic treasures. By the roadside, there were also cultivators who just took a piece of tattered cloth and set up a stall.

Although this Earth had many treasures, it also had a lot of trash. Lin Jing did not understand why some people would take pills that had just come off an assembly line last week, coated with a bit of fluorescent material, and pretend they were spirit elixirs to sell here. Would they really not be beaten to death?

"This Hu Yousong actually found his way to Cicheng. The Highest Executive Decree..." Lin Jing shook his head. What would he need that thing for?

If he encountered someone blind, he would just slap them to death. Waiting for the Dao Alliance to mediate—where would he have that much time?

However, after he left, his relatives still had to live on Earth. Lin Jing decided to give the Dao Alliance this face and planned to accept this token. He was already an enemy of the myriad worlds; he naturally understood the pressure involved and did not want his relatives to also become public enemies of the world.

"This is currently the most precious item here."

After walking for a while, Lin Jing arrived in front of a ring. On the ring, a large table was placed, and on the table, three prizes were divided into three different levels.

Champion prize: a quasi-low-grade magic treasure.

Runner-up prize: a non-graded spirit elixir.

Third-place prize: a piece of spirit jade inhabited by an immortal's remnant soul.

Lin Jing looked at the sky. You organizing committee members are quite good at arranging rewards.

But it was also normal. How could the cultivators holding this ring competition judge that this jade pendant possessed an immortal's remnant soul? They probably just regarded this jade pendant as an ordinary precious jade containing spiritual energy, with a value equivalent to a few spirit stones, which could allow cultivators to absorb the spiritual energy within.

Now, Lin Jing had two choices: disguise himself as a Qi Condensation cultivator, participate in this ring battle, win third place, and take away the jade pendant.

The second choice... Lin Jing hooked his finger, and the jade pendant was in his hand.

On the other side, the prize on the table turned into a piece of spirit jade materialized after being transformed by a Spell Origin Mushroom.

The spiritual energy contained and the appearance were no different from the previous jade pendant, only the immortal's remnant soul inside had turned into a soul of Zhu Yan.

Having snatched the original third-place opportunity, Lin Jing left another opportunity for the other party, which was more suitable for them to use. The Zhu Yan soul could transform into a phantom pet, grow by devouring spiritual energy, and protect the jade holder.

After obtaining the jade of the remnant soul, Lin Jing slowly walked into the void. The immortal soul inside seemed to still be sleeping and was already on its last breath, with a power level insufficient to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

After Lin Jing stimulated the spirit jade, the consciousness inside immediately woke up in a daze.

But the next moment, a shocking power of possession erupted from inside the spirit jade. Lin Jing sneered; so it wasn't an opportunity, but a deadly fate.

The broken immortal soul inside the jade pendant, relying on its unclear consciousness and survival instinct, directly wanted to possess the jade holder, but was slapped back by Lin Jing with a palm condensed from immortal power.

Slap.

This remnant soul instantly woke up, holding its face not far away, looking at the surroundings and Lin Jing in shock.

"Void? How is it possible? How could there still be a Void Refining cultivator in the Age of Dharma Decline."

"No, even a Void Profound cultivator, why could they hurt me... Immortal power, you actually mastered immortal power?!!"

"Who are you."

"Are you awake? Looking at your state, you won't last long either. Before your soul scatters, if you have any inheritance, hand it all over, and I will let you go more comfortably." Lin Jing took out a spider silk handkerchief and wiped his hands. ===== CHAPTER 562 =====
