Chapter 628: Secret Path

"Travel Universe Sect? I don't know it."

"I seem to have heard of it. At its peak, it had an Immortal King sitting in charge. It was an Immortal King-level orthodoxy."

"It seems... it was a sect that specialized in doing business?"

"But it didn't stay glorious for long. Later, it declined, with only a few kittens and puppies left."

"How did the cultivators of that sect... manage to survive until now?"

Lin Jing didn't get any useful information from the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb either.

As the absolute hegemon-level force of the Ancient Immortal World... the Heavenly Court.

A sect that only had an Immortal King at its most glorious period and was mainly focused on business didn't seem to need these Heavenly Emperor's concubines to pay too much attention to it.

However, these Imperial Concubines didn't take it seriously, but Lin Jing couldn't afford not to.

That old man who called himself "this Monarch" and "Sect Master of the Travel Universe Sect" might have been an Immortal Monarch at his peak.

Lin Jing intended to meet this Travel Universe Sect Master to see what medicine he was selling in his gourd.

……

A few days later.

Half of the Foundation Establishment cultivators in China had all switched to the "Immortal Travel Technique." Although the cultivators who switched to the "Immortal Travel Technique" didn't show any side effects, half of the cultivators still firmly refused to switch techniques.

They didn't believe that anyone would really go on a killing spree just because they didn't cultivate the so-called new technique.

"Cultivators of later generations... their bones are quite hard."

"There are actually so many people who don't take my words seriously."

The Travel Universe Sect Master saw the list handed over by Hu Yousong and spoke in an unkind tone.

"It seems that if I don't kill the chicken to warn the monkey, these people won't understand what rules are."

"Lushan Hermit... among those who refused to cultivate, her cultivation is the highest, right?"

Facing the inquiry of the Travel Universe Sect Master, sweat dripped from Hu Yousong's forehead.

"Reporting to Senior, yes, but..."

"But what?"

"But this Lushan Hermit once received guidance from a high-level expert, and her background is deep..."

"High-level expert? What high-level expert? Why have I never heard you mention it?" The Travel Universe Sect Master looked at him.

"That high-level expert should have already left China, and might not even be in this world anymore, so..."

"What is the other party's cultivation?"

"Empty Profound, the Empty Profound realm."

"Empty Profound... To be able to cultivate to the Empty Profound realm in this era, the aptitude is considered good. Did they discover some cave heaven and blessed land?" The Travel Universe Sect Master muttered to himself.

Hu Yousong wasn't lying. He learned from his Junior Brother that neither the other party nor Lin Jing would stay on Earth for long.

Plus, he hadn't seen Lin Jing for a long time, so he had already concluded that both Lin Jing and his Junior Brother had returned to the Cultivation World.

However, even if they were both here, they definitely couldn't be the opponent of this "Immortal."

"Hehe, no matter what her identity is, since her cultivation is the highest, I'll use her to let these people know what the consequences of not listening are."

The Travel Universe Sect Master sneered and said, "Where is the other party now?"

Oh no...

Hu Yousong said hurriedly, "Senior, why not let me go and persuade them again? I guarantee you, I will definitely convince these..."

Bang!

Hu Yousong was directly slapped away by the other party, his spirit forcibly controlled by magic power to speak out the Lushan Hermit's cultivation location.

"It's not your turn to point fingers."

…………

Porcelain Capital.

It had now become a major cultivation metropolis. The concentration of spiritual energy here could be ranked in the top five in all of China, and Lin Jing's contribution was indispensable for this.

Inside and outside this city, there was also a group of cultivators who had obtained the "Immortal Travel Technique" but had not cultivated it. Seeing the deadline approaching, it would be impossible to say they weren't nervous.

However, at least half of the Foundation Establishment cultivators in China hadn't switched techniques. So many people made them still harbor a fluke mentality.

Boom!!!

However, a clap of thunder directly destroyed all these fluke mentalities. A huge silver vortex appeared like an immortal trace descending to the world. Although spiritual energy had been recovering for some time, most people still didn't understand the power of high-level cultivators, let alone... a True Immortal descending to the world.

In the silver vortex, an immortal-like phantom slowly appeared, majestically watching this city of millions of people. Even the creatures in the surrounding cities, whether mortals or cultivators, humans or beasts, all felt the approach of death.

Some people were even scared into fainting directly.

"Lushan Hermit, Nascent Soul cultivation, resisting the Immortal Decree, should die..."

On a spiritual mountain in the suburbs, the Lushan Hermit trembled as she looked at the huge phantom in the sky, her scalp tingling. She had finally cultivated to the Nascent Soul realm, but she felt she was still so small.

"Senior..."

Facing the huge palm slowly raised by the phantom, a palm print that seemed to want to wipe out the entire city, she could only ask Lin Jing for help.

Because Lin Jing had smiled and told them at the time:

Don't cultivate.

If the other party dared to come, he would take action.

Although she didn't know why Lin Jing was so confident in confronting an ancient Immortal, but...

There was no one else she could trust.

The entire city, millions of people, felt at this moment that they were very close to death. However, at this moment, a soft voice came out.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

An immortal mirror was sacrificed into mid-air. The next moment, in the immortal mirror, dozens or hundreds of overlapping finger shadows, like divine objects that could support heaven and earth, directly crushed toward the phantom above the firmament.

The other party had an extraordinary background, so Lin Jing didn't act rashly. Instead, he used the immortal mirror and a large amount of immortal power resources to store countless "Immortal King Heavenly Demon Fingers" to welcome the other party.

The Heavenly Demon Finger, with its monstrous demonic energy, pierced through the firmament with one finger, tearing the huge phantom in the sky to shreds, making those cultivators who regretted not cultivating the "Immortal Travel Technique" show expressions of disbelief.

Pfft.

The Primordial Spirit Dharma Body was killed in seconds. The old man far away in the Dao Alliance also spat out a mouthful of blood with horror in his eyes, clutching his chest and wailing in pain. This scene made Hu Yousong next to him also show an expression of incomprehension.

"Impossible, mid-grade immortal artifact, Immortal King divine ability, how is this possible..."

Hum.

The next moment, Lin Jing's Heavenly Demon crossed ten thousand miles and descended directly to the Dao Alliance, appearing before this Ancient Immortal.

"Disturbing my quiet cultivation, give me a reason not to kill you."

"What is the 'Immortal Travel Technique,' and how did you... live until now?"

The killing intent that slaughtered the entire Heavenly Demon World flowed out from the Killing Immortal Body. The shadow of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood made the old man's pupils shrink. He didn't understand how such a person could exist in this Ancient Immortal World.

It made no sense, it made absolutely no sense. When he awakened, he had already investigated; it was impossible for such a powerhouse to exist in this Ancient Immortal World.

"Fellow Daoist, spare my life..."

"I am the contemporary Sect Master of the Travel Universe Sect. Countless years ago, the Immortal King ancestor of my Travel Universe Sect discovered a secret path that could smuggle from this world to another Immortal World. My Travel Universe Sect once used this channel to resell resources between the two worlds, and the money was constant. The 'Immortal Travel Technique' cultivators were the sacrifices to open the secret path formation."

"Back then, spiritual energy declined. I didn't think my strength could guarantee a smooth crossing, so I wanted to leave through the secret path. Who knew that chaos also appeared in the secret path? I was trapped in it and have been sleeping until now. I... am willing to develop the secret path together with you, Fellow Daoist. Please spare my life."
