Chapter 633: Searching for the Ascension Path

"He is already dead."

"He really is dead..."

"Senior... you, didn't you leave?" Hu Yousong asked after being startled.

After he woke up, he actually contacted the Lushan Hermit, but unfortunately, the Lushan Hermit said she didn't know anything and everything would wait until Lin Jing came back.

That ancient Immortal was slapped to death by Lin Jing, so Hu Yousong naturally didn't dare to ask more.

"If I leave, can't I come back?" Lin Jing smiled: "In the future, your Junior Brother might also come back."

If ascending to Earth could also make one an Immortal, then Lin Jing believed that the Daoist would definitely choose Earth, rather than the current Immortal World.

"Oh, oh." Hu Yousong bowed hurriedly: "Thank you, Senior, for taking action. Otherwise, I don't know what the cultivation world would have been disrupted into by that old man..."

"I dare to ask Senior, can you see what is wrong with the 'Immortal Travel Technique' passed down by that person?"

The problem that Hu Yousong was most troubled by now was the turmoil caused by the half of the Foundation Establishment cultivators who had switched to the "Immortal Travel Technique."

If it weren't for the sudden decline in spiritual energy some time ago, he suspected that these people's cultivation would soon break through to the Golden Core and Nascent Soul realms, becoming increasingly uncontrollable and unmanageable. Fortunately, he himself had switched to it, and he had the treasures left by his Junior Brother, so he wouldn't be surpassed by others. Otherwise, he would really be worried that he couldn't suppress the cultivation world.

Once this cultivation technique started to roll, he didn't dare to give up this technique himself. He hadn't switched to it for a long time just because he was afraid that his realm would fall behind others.

This "Immortal Travel Technique" cultivation speed was truly outrageous, just like a demonic technique!

"The cultivators of this 'Immortal Travel Technique' are sacrifices for something. Once they cultivate to the great completion, they are all to be harvested," Lin Jing said.

Hu Yousong's eyes went dark.

"However, that Immortal has already been beheaded by me, so there is no need to worry about anyone forcing you to become a sacrifice. Taking advantage of the fact that your cultivation is still low, wasting a little time, there is still a way back. You can switch back to the original technique."

"Of course, if you are willing to continue cultivating the 'Immortal Travel Technique,' there won't be any major consequences. It's just that in this life, at most, you can only cultivate to the Empty Profound stage."

"If it were the Earth before, this realm would indeed be good. But in the future... Earth's changes will only get bigger and bigger. It may be difficult for everyone to become an Immortal, but for cultivators with certain aptitude, Empty Profound will definitely not be the end. So, consider your future clearly."

"Junior... understands." Hu Yousong nodded immediately upon hearing this. Regarding the pros and cons, Lin Jing had already explained it very clearly.

"Since that's the case, if a similar situation occurs, you can crush this talisman stone. If I can sense it, I will help solve it." Regarding other matters, Lin Jing didn't say much. Given the realm of other cultivators on Earth now, even if they knew about the Demon race, they wouldn't be able to help at all.

"Respectfully send off Senior—"

Lin Jing left. He felt that Earth's spiritual energy was still increasing at a terrifying speed, so he had to cultivate as soon as possible. What if Earth was enough to bear the arrival of an Immortal Monarch, but he hadn't cultivated to the Immortal Monarch realm? Then... he was afraid he wouldn't be able to protect himself.

"What method is the Demon race using to accelerate the recovery of the Ancient Immortal World's spiritual energy..."

"This spiritual energy recovery speed doesn't conform to convention. The Imperial Concubines also said that this spiritual energy must come from outside the world... The current Immortal World? Even if the Demon Lord possesses the Heavenly Dao supreme treasure, he cannot be the enemy of the entire Immortal World at the same time. Of course, no Immortal Emperor orthodoxy is willing to really fight the Demon race to the death."

"In short, the Demon Lord wants to move the foundation of the current Immortal World to fulfill another Ancient Immortal World, which is difficult to do. Then, could this spiritual energy be absorbed from the lower realm by him through the Heavenly Dao supreme treasure..."

The avatar looked at the firmament. If this was the case, there might be trouble in the Tianyuan World.

…………

Lower realm, Tianyuan.

In order to welcome the Heavenly Demon Sect, Tianyuan used the Golden Bell brought back by Old Demon Pine, allowing the Tianyuan World to open a Golden Great Age, at the cost of squeezing the potential of the entire world, opening a ten-thousand-year spiritual energy eruption.

During this period, the Tianyuan World would become the most suitable place for cultivation, with extraordinary luck. And the price was that after ten thousand years, Tianyuan would enter the end-of-law era and would no longer be suitable for cultivation.

And from this deadline, logically speaking, there were still several thousand years left. However, at this stage, some people had already sensed that the Golden Great Age... seemed to be declining.

Not only the Tianyuan World, but many cultivation worlds had signs of spiritual energy decline. Although it wasn't obvious yet, it was indeed happening. If it were just one world, perhaps it wouldn't be anything, but many cultivation worlds had this situation, which immediately made the Cultivation Alliance attach great importance to it. Some Immortals who took turns guarding the lower realm also quickly reported this information to the Immortal World.

"So that's it. The Demon Lord is using the Heavenly Dao supreme treasure to transfer the spiritual energy of the lower realm and transport it to the Ancient Immortal World to accelerate the recovery of the Ancient Immortal World... For an Ancient Immortal World that hasn't recovered, it's too difficult for the core combat power of the Demon race to step in. Sending those who are too weak is meaningless. At most, it's just investigating information."

"After all, even if cultivators who are too weak go over, it is absolutely impossible to easily take away the Demon ancestor's bones and the town-clan demonic artifact."

"However, in this way, the decline of the lower realm might not have much impact on low-realm cultivators, but for a 'longevity species' like me who exists in the lower realm, the impact is great."

Lin Jing browsed the secret letter from the Donghuang Immortal Emperor and shook his head. The Donghuang Immortal Emperor said he would find a way to check and balance the Demon Lord, but he didn't know how long it would take.

He definitely didn't care. No matter how the lower realm changed, he was the one who lived the longest. It was just that other Asking Dao cultivators might be more sensitive to this change.

If it continued and wasn't stopped as soon as possible, the cultivation and lifespan of these cultivators might be affected.

"It seems that in order to avoid this situation, Tianyuan... no, the entire lower realm, is going to have a second ascension wave."

A few days later, many old friends came to visit Lin Jing, expressing their intention to ascend. Many people, even if they had cultivated to the Asking Dao perfection, still delayed their ascension. Many of them thought that their foundation was still insufficient, so instead of ascending rashly, it was better to stay in the lower realm and polish themselves more while their lifespan allowed, so as to be able to withstand stronger immortal power baptism.

But now, if the lower realm became less suitable for cultivation, it was better to ascend early.

"However, the regression of the lower realm also shows that the Ancient Immortal World Earth has already recovered to a certain level. Maybe it can already be ascended to normally."

"Will this lead to some Asking Dao cultivators... directly ascending to the wrong Immortal World, not ascending to the place they wanted to go, but instead ascending to this newly recovered Earth? Although the lower-realm ascension channel has long been changed, accidents are inevitable."

"In addition, the Demon Lord's actions must mean he has a big plan for Earth next. I must find a stable ascension channel to the Ancient Immortal World so that some powerhouses can choose to ascend to the Ancient Immortal World and go help the avatar."

Lin Jing left the Tianyuan World to look for a guinea pig that could try to ascend to Earth. If nothing went wrong, he felt that Hu Yousong's Junior Brother was the most suitable candidate. After all, they were both fellow countrymen.

It was just that after Lin Jing arrived at the cultivation world where the other party was in his memory, he was immediately dumbfounded.

When did the other party... die?
