Chapter 163: Impacting the Pass

Seeing the giant python, Huo Shui Xian screamed in terror.

"Mr. Lin, run quickly!"

Lin Yang smiled, paid no heed, and continued walking toward the sacrificial altar.

He glanced at the coffin, gave a cold laugh, and said.

"The Azure Dragon Embracing the Spot should be responsible for the descendants."

"But your Yin-Yang Restriction is specially designed to absorb the bloodline power of descendants."

"You don't want to bless the descendants; you want to use one person's essence blood and soul of descendants to become a Ghost Immortal."

"Too bad, you have failed."

He continued walking toward the altar, when the giant python suddenly opened its bloody maw and lunged at Lin Yang.

Lin Yang smiled, raised his hand, formed a sword finger, and pointed.

The giant python that had been approaching Lin Yang, as if struck heavily, flew backward, smashed into the stone wall, fell into the pool, and sent up a hundred-meter splash.

This sight left the four representing Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang gaping in astonishment.

A beast over twenty meters long was actually injured by a casual finger flick?

While they were still shocked, Lin Yang had already stood before the altar.

Seeing him standing there, one of the Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang group shouted.

"Mr. Lin, there is a restriction here; many of our brothers have already turned into blood water before!"

Lin Yang smiled, spread his five fingers, and kept forming hand seals.

Then, a bloody red light curtain appeared over the entire altar.

"Such a strong smell of blood—just how many people have died here?"

He gave a low shout: "Release!"

In an instant, the light curtain vanished.

Lin Yang formally stepped onto the altar, walked up to the jade coffin, and looked at the person inside.

"Failing to become a Ghost Immortal ultimately harms others and oneself."

He left the Jade Hall without launching any attack.

Only a person wearing a Daoist robe lay silently inside the jade coffin.

When the Jade Hall was opened, he instantly turned to ashes.

This is what happens when one fails to become a Ghost Immortal—one can only become a handful of earth.

At that moment, Huo Shui Xian and the others also came running over.

They didn't care whether that person had turned to ashes; instead, they fixed their gaze on the Longevity Pill.

Lin Yang glanced at them and spoke softly.

"If you don't want to die, you'd better not move."

Upon hearing that, the four immediately became wary and looked at Lin Yang, saying.

"Mr. Lin, are you trying to go back on your word?"

Lin Yang looked at them, shook his head, and said.

"The things here, under the influence of the Yin-Yang Restriction, have all been tainted with much bloody evil power."

"Ordinary people who touch it might very well go mad in an instant."

The bodyguard, hearing this, snorted coldly and reached for the Longevity Pill.

"You're just trying to jack up the price, aren't you?"

"If it's really as you say, why are you unharmed after touching the jade coffin?"

Hearing his words, Huo Shui Xian also felt they made sense.

She looked at Lin Yang and said: "Mr. Lin, 150 million—I will give you every cent."

She said, telling the earth: "Take the Longevity Pill away!"

The earth, upon hearing, immediately seized the Longevity Pill and proudly said to Lin Yang.

"You said I would go mad, but look, I'm fine now, aren't I?"

Lin Yang glanced at him and shook his head.

"There's no saving him."

As soon as he finished speaking, his skin began to disappear, revealing flesh and blood, looking extremely terrifying.

He himself screamed in agony.

Then he fell from the sacrificial altar.

The giant python that had been in the lake suddenly opened its bloody maw and swallowed him whole.

"He didn't go mad, but he was corroded by the bloody evil aura, and there's no saving him."

The remaining three, seeing this, were also frightened and immediately pulled their hands back.

They originally wanted to take the remaining three treasures, but now they dare not touch them.

Huo Shui Xian looked at the Longevity Pill lying on the ground and said despairingly.

"Are we to see a Longevity Pill within reach yet unable to take it away?"

Lin Yang smiled, walked up to the Longevity Pill, and picked it up.

"This thing, I can take it out for you."

Having said that, he flicked his sleeve, and the other three items were collected together.

If it had been before, Huo Shui Xian and the others would surely have rebuked Lin Yang.

But having witnessed that scene just now, they had no further objections.

Lin Yang said to them, "We've got the things, let's go."

As they crossed the bridge, the giant python lurking in the lake suddenly became agitated.

It slammed into the bridge in its excitement, causing the whole bridge and the altar to shake.

The three Heavenly Mystery Yellow members on the bridge instantly lost two, who fell and were swallowed whole by the giant python.

Huo Shui Xian was frightened pale.

"Mr. Lin, save me!"

Just as she was about to fall, Huo Shui Xian cried out in despair.

Suddenly she felt her body lighten, and she was lifted up.

Lin Yang held her and went to the entrance.

"You go out first, I'll handle this here."

Among the four, the only survivor, Tian, came running over in a sorry state.

After hearing Lin Yang's words, he no longer cared about master-servant distinctions and ran outside first.

After all, he could still tell which was more important, money or his life.

At this moment, Lin Yang stood on the bridge, looking down at the giant python.

The giant python in the water also looked up at Lin Yang.

"You beast, if you obediently follow me, I'll let you say that within ten years you'll become a jiao dragon."

After Lin Yang said that, the lake surface remained still.

Lin Yang snorted coldly, holding the sword he had just obtained.

"If you won't drink the toast, you'll drink the penalty."

"I once cut down a giant python with a single sword!"

He swung his sword, and a powerful sword qi split the lake surface, heading straight for the giant python.

The giant python let out a long roar to the sky, choosing to meet the attack head-on with its body.

Boom

Then a piercing howl appeared.

The lake surface was dyed red with blood.

"I'll give you one more chance—come to me obediently, or the next sword will surely kill you!"

After Lin Yang remained silent for a moment, the water surface was split open.

A giant python appeared, coming before Lin Yang and locking eyes with him.

Man and beast stared at each other, Lin Yang raised his hand.

"Become my spirit beast."

He formed hand seals and pointed a finger at the giant python's head.

The giant python gave a low growl, acknowledging its identity.

Lin Yang leapt onto its head and said to it.

"Take me to your cultivation ground!"

Ordinary pythons could never grow this large, let alone possess spiritual intelligence.

This python can grow so large here, indicating the area is rich in spiritual energy.

After hearing Lin Yang's words, it slowly carried him toward the lake surface, then arrived at a cave entrance.

The cave is only big enough for one person, yet abundant spiritual energy flows from within.

Lin Yang's eyes shone with light—this is the spiritual energy he needs for his breakthrough.

He arrived at the cave and began sitting cross-legged to cultivate.

Meanwhile, outside, Huo Shui Xian, who had finally come to her senses, watched the cave where Lin Yang had not emerged for a long time.

She began to hesitate, wondering whether she should go in to look for him.

"Miss, he hasn't come out after so long—he must be dead; don't go in."

"Let's hurry back to Xianggang!"

Upon hearing Tian's words, Huo Shui Xian's face darkened.
