Immortality: Begin by Manipulating Your Shadow

Chapter 210
South from the mountains.

Thousands of miles across, the mountains are majestic, with numerous mountains and steep peaks. In the depths of the mountains, monsters are everywhere, fierce birds block out the sun, and even many places are densely covered with poisonous miasma.

But for Tianjue Palace, it is also one of the treasures.

Due to the natural geographical environment and the territory of the Yaozu, strange medicines are everywhere in the Nanli Mountains.

Many elixir that cannot be grown in the spiritual fields still have to be produced in the Nanli Mountains.

Therefore, although the Nanli Mountain Range is the territory of the Yaozu, the disciples of Tianjue Palace still come and go occasionally.

Of course, in order not to disturb the monster races in the Nanli Mountains, the disciples of Tianjue Palace rarely went into the Nanli Mountains to search for these rare elixir.

but.

Near the Nanli Mountains, Tianjue Palace has built several strongholds and opened several shops to collect elixir and rare treasures.

This naturally attracted a lot of casual cultivators to come here to earn spirit crystals, pills, etc. needed for cultivation.

Many rogue cultivators make a living from this, and settle down around the stronghold as their home, forming various rogue cultivator towns, centered on the stronghold, scattered in all directions.

For these small towns, Tianjue Palace not only did not stop them, but also encouraged them, giving support during the early stage construction and post-arrangement arrangement.

These small towns where loose cultivators gather and settle down are different from ordinary small towns. They have their own autonomy and are basically managed by one or several loose cultivator families.

managers of these small towns.

As long as they accept the unified deployment of Tianjue Palace when the Yaozu invade the territory of Tianjue Palace, Tianjue Palace will naturally protect them.

...

South from the border of the mountains.

Although there was a period of chaos some time ago, it was calm for a while afterwards.

And recently, for unknown reasons, chaos began to appear frequently.

Many small towns around the stronghold began to appear frequent demon disasters, which made the disciples of Tianjue Palace a little overwhelmed. Miscellaneous Peak's tasks on Nanli Mountain's demon disasters also increased sharply.

obviously.

Something should have happened on the Nanli Mountain Range...

...

Lin Yue looked at the bustling town in front of him, feeling a little thoughtful in his heart.

He hadn't entered the small town yet, but Lin Yue could vaguely feel that the atmosphere in this small town was a bit weird.

But if Lin Yue were to say what's wrong with this small town, he couldn't tell for a while.

after all.

People come and go, it still looks quite lively, full of fireworks.

Take back your mind.

In a blink of an eye, Lin Yue had already arrived at the gate of the town.

For Lin Yue's arrival.

The monks who went in and out of the town didn't have any special reactions.

After all, Lin Yue was not wearing the clothes of a disciple of Tianjue Palace.

Walking on the bustling streets, Lin Yue's mood suddenly calmed down. Looking at these, most of them were casual cultivators in the foundation building period or even the Qi refining period.

Lin Yue suddenly realized.

In the past few years, my own growth has definitely far surpassed all monks in this world.

in the same amount of time.

His own achievements are actually terrifying enough.

As the master said, I am indeed a little too persistent about becoming stronger.

Of course, Lin Yue would not abandon this attachment, but Lin Yue began to realize that he could not be obsessed with becoming stronger quickly in a short period of time.

This was originally a rather contradictory idea.

Everything in the world needs time to accumulate, and I am already fast enough...

When you encounter a bottleneck at this time, you should really let nature take its course instead of continuing to bury your head and do it recklessly.

With the change of mentality.

Lin Yue became very interested and began to visit the market in this small town.

On both sides of the street, many shops sell various cultivation resources needed by monks.

of course.

These things, the current Lin Yue has completely despised them.

However, looking at those coming and going in the Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, there are still a few Golden Core Stage monks.

Lin Yue began to realize.

Even if it is Taixuan Jiutian, the low-level monks are actually not much different from the low-level monks in the Xiaoyuan realm.

A journey to immortality.

In addition to talent and spiritual roots, the cultivation environment and resources are also closely related.

With the same level of cultivation, it is considered fast for a casual cultivator to break through a small level in three to five years, but in a place with rich aura like Tianjue Palace.

The time will be shortened by [-] to [-]%, and with the help of high-grade elixir, the guidance of the master, etc., it is not uncommon to break through a small realm in more than a year.

The world is so unfair.

Low-level cultivators are not only slow in their cultivation speed, but also have a high trial and error cost for any risky action, which also makes many casual cultivators act cautiously for fear of making mistakes.

As such.

Although it is not easy to make big mistakes, it also allows many opportunities to pass by.

This is like a vicious circle, even in the Taixuan Nine Heavens where resources are countless times richer than those in the Little Origin Realm, it is still unavoidable.

Therefore, inside Tianjue Palace, and outside Tianjue Palace.

The strength of monks also varies greatly.

It is rare to see a Nascent Soul cultivator among casual cultivators, and he is only a core disciple in Tianjue Palace.

Although the status is not low, but as a disciple, there is a monthly assessment of the amount of tasks.

Compared with deacon-level cultivators in the transformation stage, there is no assessment of the amount of tasks, so there is naturally an essential difference.

In casual cultivators, there is no such thing as the God Transformation Stage, but compared to the Golden Core Stage and the Nascent Soul Stage, the ratio of the number is even more pitiful...

...

It's just a small town after all.

The street is not particularly long.

In just a quarter of an hour or two, Lin Yue went from beginning to end.

During this period, Lin Yue only met two casual cultivators of the Nascent Soul stage, and they were both at the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage.

Looking at the pomp when they passed by, it was obvious that their status in the town was not low.

It seems that Taixuan Nine Heavens and Nascent Soul Stage are not uncommon in casual cultivators, but the number is indeed not many.

Along with thoughts.

Lin Yue randomly found a teahouse, ordered a cup of spiritual tea, and began to wait calmly.

The team of the three core disciples.

Lin Yue got their summoning talisman from the Miscellaneous Peak, and before entering the town, Lin Yue had already issued the summoning talisman.

but.

Up to now, no one has replied to me. It seems that things are indeed a little tricky?
Thoughts flashed through my heart.

However, Lin Yue was still brewing spiritual tea in a leisurely manner. Naturally, the quality of spiritual tea in this small town is not much better.

Compared with the spirit tea in the teahouses in Yongxing City in Xiaoyuanjing, it is even worse.

However, Lin Yue didn't care.

For spirit tea, he is not particularly particular about it, and what he tastes is nothing more than the taste that is slightly higher than that of boiled water.

While drinking spirit tea, while looking at the bustling teahouse, Lin Yue's eyes moved slightly.

this small town.

It's really lively...

After drinking the two cups of spirit tea, Lin Yue still didn't get the message amulet he was waiting for.

This made the smile on Lin Yue's face even brighter.

He raised his hand and beckoned.

The waiter in the teahouse greeted him immediately with a smile on his face:
"Sir, do you need anything else?"

"Bill, please."

Lin Yue smiled and handed out a few spirit crystals.

"Okay~! Guest officer, go slowly~!"

Xiao Er took Lingjing with a smile on his face.

Feeling the touch in his hand, Lin Yue squinted his eyes, with a smile on his face.

Nodding his head, without saying anything, Lin Yue got up and left the teahouse.

After leaving the teahouse, Lin Yue wandered around the town again.

Especially the mansion of the person in charge of the town, Lin Yue also made a special detour.

Looking at the mansion whose walls were covered with vines, Lin Yue didn't do anything, as if he was just strolling by.

Over time.

Lin Yue also began to notice the vague sights all around.

Sensing the vague sights all around, Lin Yue smiled slightly, and left the town without continuing to wander in the town.

...

Fall from the sky.

Lin Yue frowned slightly.

Here is a small forest more than ten miles away from the town.

Turning around and looking behind him, Lin Yue was also a little surprised.

gone back?
This was somewhat unexpected to him.

By now.

The communication talismans of the three core disciple teams hadn't replied to him yet, so Lin Yue didn't need to think about it anymore, something must have happened to these three teams.

As for whether they're still alive or not, too.

Lin Yue couldn't tell.

But now Lin Yue can be very sure.

There was definitely something wrong with that town just now!
The disappearance of my younger brothers and sisters probably has something to do with this small town.

However, who is behind this?
To actually dare to do such petty tricks in the territory of Tianjue Palace is quite courageous.

Burning Heaven Sect?
The monster race in the Nanli Mountains?
Lin Yue's heart moved slightly.

Looking up at the sun in the sky, Lin Yue's figure slowly disappeared into the shadow of the forest.

...

Two hours later.

As the sun sets, night begins to descend on the land.

In the darkness, Lin Yue, who was sitting cross-legged on a branch, slowly opened his eyes.

...

at the same time.

In Tianjue Palace and Tianlei Valley, the four figures submerged in the thunder and lightning gradually dispersed.

...

in the woods.

Beside Lin Yue, a pitch-black figure almost simultaneously began to condense, and then turned into a pool of pitch black, blending into the shadows.

After a while.

Lin Yue's eyes moved slightly, and his figure also turned into pitch black, blending into the shadows...

...

outside the town.

A jet of darkness, blending into the shadows, arrived here silently.

The small town in the distance is still brightly lit, and it is a bit strangely lively...

A pitch-black shadow slowly rose from the ground, and then turned into Lin Yue's figure.

Looking at the small town in front of him, Lin Yue walked in with a blank expression.

...

Brightly lit and crowded.

The bustle of the town did not cool down because of the nightfall, but even warmed up even more.

only…

These monks, no longer rushing to and fro, but with dull eyes, headed towards the center of the town, the Sanxiu family mansion in charge of the town.

In the crowd, a clone of Lin Yue turned into a shadow, expressionlessly followed the crowd and squeezed forward.

...

When Lin Yue followed the crowd and stopped, he had already arrived outside the mansion in the center of the town.

at this time.

Outside the mansion, nearly [-] monks from the town gathered.

There is a special aura in the air, and these auras also come from this mansion, and these special auras continue to radiate to the surroundings.

These monks with dull eyes were obviously affected by this special breath.

At this time, these monks gathered here, all of them standing with dull eyes.

His eyes were full of emptiness, staring at the mansion, as if waiting for something.

...

in the shadows.

Lin Yue looked at this scene, thinking a little in his heart.

It seemed that his previous feeling was not wrong, the problem was indeed here.

As time went by, more and more monks from the small town gathered here.The eyes of these monks are dull and empty, and it is obvious that the state is not very right.

Lin Yue was not in a hurry to make a move, but just waited quietly.

After another half an hour, finally no more monks came over, and all the monks in the small town had gathered here.

Just then.

A strange picture was reflected in Lin Yue's eyes.

The walls of the mansion and the vines outside the walls began to squirm strangely.

Afterwards, these vines spread down from the wall, crawled quickly on the ground, and quickly entangled those around them.

The next scene is somewhat familiar.

These vines actually pried open the mouths of those monks, and got in from their mouths.

Whether it is a male monk or a female monk, whether they are old or young, they are treated the same at this moment.

Even Lin Yue's clone was the same, Lin Yue didn't resist, and let the vine get into the mouth of the clone.

After a while.

The whole venue began to be filled with a strong smell of blood, and I saw that the vines began to draw blood from the monks, and the blood was drawn.

The color of these vines also changed from dark brown to scarlet red, not only that, but new shoots began to emerge from the vines, piercing into the skins of those monks.

In just a moment, the bodies of those monks began to twitch involuntarily.

Obviously, they're not feeling very well right now...

Among these vines, only the vine that drilled into Lin Yue's shadow clone remained unchanged, which also began to attract the attention of these vines.

Three vines quickly climbed towards Lin Yue's clone again from the wall.

quickly.

Lin Yue's shadow clone was tightly entangled by four vines. Looking at this scene, Lin Yue realized something in his heart.

Until now, Lin Yue didn't wait and see.

Move with your mind.

That part of the shadow immediately exploded with lightning in his body, and the thunder roared, and the silver light immediately blasted the vines on his body into pieces.

Several monks around him were also shaken away by Lin Yue's thunder, accompanied by the sound of those monks falling to the ground.

A circular open space, centered on Lin Yue's shadow clone, was swept out in an instant.

at the same time.

Under the feet of Lin Yue's shadow clone, countless shadow threads spread rapidly towards the surroundings.

"Hiss~~~!"

At this moment, there was a strange roar from the mansion, and the vines outside the walls of the mansion suddenly rioted.

The ground began to shake violently, and the monks couldn't stand still at this time, falling around.

Also at this time.

The shadows were divided into those shadow threads, and the formation pattern was completed, and the fifth-order restraint formation [Golden Lock Prisoner Dragon Formation] was completed in an instant, and the powerful restraint suppressed the force, and instantly suppressed the mansion.

"Hiss~~~!!!"

The sky-shattering roar exploded from the mansion again, unfortunately, in front of the suppressing force of the powerful fifth-order formation.

The vines outside the walls of the entire mansion stopped moving, and even the shaking of the ground in the town stopped.

At this moment, several messenger symbols suddenly shot out from the mansion, hovering over Lin Yue's shadow, but did not land, as if headless flies.

In the shadow at the end of the street, Lin Yue looked at this scene, feeling a little thoughtful.

With a thought, the figure stepped out of the shadows and instantly rose up from the sky.

And those communication symbols seemed to have found their target at this time, and they came to Lin Yue in the blink of an eye.

Reach out.

Lin Yue held the three communication talismans in his hand, and the contents of the communication talismans immediately entered his mind.

There was a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.

Lin Yue no longer had any hesitation in his heart.

There was a flash of light in his hand, and the long sword, a ninth-order magic weapon, was held in his hand. When his figure reappeared in a blur, he was already in the sky above the mansion.

The long sword, a ninth-order magic weapon in his hand, stabbed repeatedly towards the mansion, and the sword energy formed by the true essence poured down immediately.

to now.

Lin Yue has already figured out what's wrong with this small town, and what happened to those vines outside the mansion?

"Little vine demon, dare to cause trouble in the territory of our Tianjue Palace?!"

Spit lightly in the mouth, Lin Yue's hands did not stop.

Daoist sword qi, cut those vines, and exploded the sky full of debris, but what flowed out of the vines was not juice, but blood full of blood.

As the sword energy cut through the vines and walls outside the mansion, the situation inside the mansion room was revealed to Lin Yue.

Where is there room for anything?
There are dense clusters of vines, and figures are wrapped in these vines.

Among them are the core disciples of Tianjue Palace. The strength of these core disciples of Tianjue Palace is also good, and they can barely support it until now.

It's just that the body is tightly entangled by the vine, and it is impossible to break free.

Judging from the weakness of their external defenses, if Lin Yue came a little later, these core disciples might not be able to hold on.

At this time, those core disciples of Tianjue Palace naturally also saw Lin Yue in the air.

Smiles suddenly appeared on each of their faces, and the true energy in each individual surged violently for a while, and they began to struggle desperately.

In order to last longer before.

Therefore, these core disciples are barely able to maintain themselves without being touched by these vines, and try to prolong the time of persistence.

But seeing Lin Yue now, they naturally don't need to keep their true energy.

And Lin Yue watched the movements of these juniors and juniors, and his hands were not idle. Sword energy poured down one after another, helping them break through the vines that trapped them outside their bodies.

After a dozen breaths.

The nine core disciples all managed to get up from the air, came to Lin Yue, and thanked Lin Yue gratefully:
"Thank you brother for saving my life!"

With a smile on his face, Lin Yue nodded towards them and said:
"Okay, there's no need to say more polite words. One family doesn't talk about two families. Now let's deal with this vine demon first."

"Yes! Senior Brother!"

Hearing that Lin Yue shifted the topic to Teng Yao, the nine core disciples naturally responded quickly.

Looking down at the mansion, the anger on his face suddenly rose.

If Brother Lin hadn't come this time, they might have been sucked dry and swallowed up by the vine demon without a sound.

Thinking of this.

They couldn't help the chill in their hearts, and after a while they were terrified.

　Thanks: I love my family 520 Xiaoguai, July_Qi, Shan Meigui, Shuyou 8723, and Shuyou 9210 for their monthly support!
