Chapter 1273
[Immortal Realm Chapter] Kongtong Shattered, Killing Intent Approaches Suddenly
Luck is an ethereal and intangible thing; it is merely a superficial manifestation of one's destiny.
It's difficult to discern a person's destiny, but it's quite easy to observe their luck. Many masters in the cultivation world who have studied the I Ching and divination can guess a person's destiny with a high degree of accuracy just by looking at their luck!
Lin Shan thought to himself that in the past, he had been swaggering around with the aura of a jinx, which caused trouble from time to time and was always exposed by the divination. Although he had the virtual star chart to cover up his misfortune, it was only a temporary measure.
After all, the Void Star Compass is just a Heavenly Treasure. It can deceive those below the Nascent Soul stage, but it cannot deceive those above the Void Transformation stage. If the other party has even a slightly better Qi Observation ability, this unlucky guy will be exposed!
Now, with the accompanying spiritual cloud providing cover, there's no need to worry about leaking one's luck. It can even be used to disguise oneself and deceive others, greatly enhancing one's sense of security.
He's especially good at changing identities and taking the blame. Even though he's currently in the Microcosm, he's already figured out how to use this trick to swindle people after he gets to the Immortal Realm!
"Even a jinx is still a star. With my character, it's not too much for me to pretend to be a child of the stars, is it?"
While he was indulging in fantasies, he quickly changed his mind and spat.
No, what does "impersonation" mean?
I am the chosen one of the stars!
If it weren't for that old cowardly jinx, would I, a dignified jinx with one of only two top-tier destinies in the world, have to rely on others all the time?
"With the identity of the Child of the Stars, coupled with the Star Collision ability, others will only think that I am a powerful second-generation Star Prince from the heavens. Even if I knock someone into an idiot, it will be believable."
He excitedly put away the Illusionary Cloud and then looked at another ball of spiritual fire.
【Myriad Star Flames】(Already bound)
Quality: Seventh-tier Spirit Fire (Upgradable)
Introduction: Companion Spiritual Flame, a gift from Heaven, can grow as its master's cultivation level increases. Its current functions are as follows:
① Undying Star Flame: As long as there is a continuous supply of star power, it can regenerate infinitely and automatically, lasting for eternity.
② Starfire Burn: It adheres to a person or object and burns continuously. It can be rekindled infinitely with the help of starlight, permanently weakening the opponent.
③ All-encompassing Mimicry: Any item whose form and aura have been recorded by this fire can be completely replicated, indistinguishable from the real thing. (Note: The simulated item cannot exceed the current rank.)
④ Spark Cleansing: Can cleanse external marks on the body or items, removing all parasites and impurities. (Note: May not work on targets exceeding the current rank)
⑤ Astral Insight: By refracting the light of stars in the sky to the lower realm, it can detect the real-time situation in a designated area from thousands of miles away and feed the scene back to itself.
⑥ Star Refining Empowerment: This fire possesses the characteristics of star refining, which can increase the success rate of refining any pill by 30%. With the help of the all-round transmission and analysis of the stars in the sky, there is a chance that the quality of the pill will be improved after it is made.
Enhancement required: 512 points
(Note: If you upgrade to the next quality level ahead of time, it will not automatically advance after subsequent breakthroughs.)
Myriad Manifestations Star Flame is still the same name. Compared to the companion spirit cloud, which was tailor-made for him, this flame has appeared in the long river of history.
The man in the straw hat once mentioned that the progenitor of the Protoss race once possessed this fire.
It clearly has many uses, and you will need to break through your own cultivation level to unlock them.
This upgrade unlocked a passive effect called "Star Refinement Empowerment," which seems to be designed to complement the newly acquired Spirit Orb of Breath of Earth, allowing him to embark on the path of alchemy in the future.
Now that you have the alchemical fire and the herb garden, it wouldn't be right for you not to learn alchemy, would it?
Lin Shan nodded; this was just the right opportunity, a perfect solution for someone who was about to fall asleep!
To be honest, when my cultivation level was low, those pills that could improve my cultivation weren't that precious. I could always find a way to buy or exchange them in the cultivation market, or find a low-level pill to strengthen myself.
But once you reach the level of Primordial Spirit or Void Realm, there's basically nowhere to trade!
Even if people have cultivation pills, they will keep them to themselves. Who would be stupid enough to take them out and trade them with you?
The only option is to prepare enough medicinal herbs yourself and then find a renowned alchemy master to refine them.
As for when they will refine it for you, how many people are ahead of you in line and how long they have to wait, how much they charge per session, what the success rate is, whether you bear the risks, and whether they have cut corners, etc.
You have to beg people as much as you can, being as humble as you can be.
The reason he was able to have such a smooth journey in the Nascent Soul stage was thanks to the once-in-ten-thousand-years True Immortal War in the lower realm. The Pure Lotus Hermit used the cultivation resources passed down from the Immortal Realm to form cliques and factions, and in the end, he got to buy most of the Earth Spirit Pills!
If it weren't for that incident, he really wouldn't have had any way to obtain the cultivation pills needed for the Nascent Soul stage.
Now that we've reached the Void Refinement stage, we absolutely must get our alchemy skills up and running. It's better to rely on ourselves than on others. We can use enhancement to cover the key thresholds of major and minor realms, but if we want to meet our daily cultivation needs, we still have to rely on ourselves.
Lin Shan couldn't help but sigh, thinking of Zhang Yunxi, that little girl who used to make a name for herself with her alchemy skills. Now that he had a medicinal garden and spiritual fire bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, he would have to find time to explore them even after going to the Immortal Realm!
After the two treasures were upgraded, the Heavenly Dao of the Microcosm retreated, disappearing without a trace. Although there was no interaction between them, their presence could be faintly sensed.
Now that we've survived the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulations, all that's left is to strike while the iron is hot and condense the rudimentary form of our domain!
He glanced around casually and saw the apocalyptic scene in the Kongtong Realm, the helpless old face of Ancestor Yanling below, and the dejected and desperate expressions of the members of the Yixian Alliance. He felt a little guilty, but there was nothing he could do.
As soon as the Thunder Pool Dharma Image was summoned and was about to form a domain, the entire Kongtong Realm suddenly trembled violently three times!
It seemed as if a giant object was crashing into something, and then a large number of small dots appeared in the distance.
"Hmm? This is bad."
Ancestor Yanling quickly turned around and saw the scene. He was immediately shocked. Everyone in the Yixian Alliance looked over and were all dumbfounded!
The skyline is like a shell.
Below the horizon, mountains rise and fall, their outlines tinged with the orange hues of dusk. Suddenly, a ball of light appears, like a water-like sphere spreading out, twitching irregularly and linearly like an electric current, then extending infinitely to both sides, finally looping around and connecting smoothly from front to back.
The entire Kongtong Realm was as dazzling and shimmering as a water curtain!
Then there's the light pollution, with patches of light of varying sizes drifting overhead and around, their colors ranging from deep green and purple to ghostly blue and crimson—a diverse and unpredictable spectacle!
The horizon began to sway incessantly, eventually tilting and even forming an obtuse angle, signifying that the entire Kongtong Realm had lost its anchor point in the luminous universe and was beginning to overturn and flip.
Beams of laser light pierced the sky and the earth, constantly intersecting and shooting in the distance. After bombarding the ground along the way, bottomless holes appeared in the ground tectonic plates, and within two breaths, columns of magma shot high into the sky!
Powerful amplification filled the entire spiritual realm:
"Listen up, members of the Immortal Legacy Alliance! This is the advance battalion of the Cosmic Alliance's joint fleet. You have been discovered. You have fifteen minutes to consider surrendering. Your safety will be temporarily guaranteed during that time. You will then be subject to a vote by the entire universe, nations, and regions. Please lay down your arms and accept the advance battalion's persuasion to surrender. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."
The sound was mechanical, extremely harsh and unpleasant, and everyone who heard it showed expressions of utter terror.
How did the Cosmic Alliance find this place? The Kongtong Realm has not completely collapsed yet. They have been hiding for a full twenty years. How could they be discovered suddenly?
Master Yanling turned his head and roared angrily:
"Who was it? They promised me they wouldn't go out. Who sneaked out, revealed their whereabouts, and lured the enemy in?"
Everyone pushed it away with both hands, like frightened birds.
"not me!"
"It wasn't me." "I've never been out of the country all these years."
"There's no spiritual energy outside, what's the point of going out?"
But if no one went out, how did the Cosmic Alliance track down the Kongtong Realm? This is completely illogical. Could there be an inside traitor?
A fierce glint appeared in the eyes of Ancestor Yanling, but it quickly faded away.
At this point, there's no time to find the traitor. It's too late to do anything now. It's time to think about what to do next.
The entire spiritual realm was enveloped, a mysterious power sealing off the heavens and earth. The opponent was clearly trying to trap them like turtles in a jar and wipe them out!
Just then, someone noticed something was wrong and pointed ahead, screaming:
"Look, right in front of the enemy fleet, isn't there someone in the center of that laser cannon barrage?"
people?
Everyone immediately looked in that direction, and they all stared in disbelief with their mouths agape.
"This person looks so familiar."
"Impossible, how could he still be alive? Wasn't he long ago?"
"I'm going crazy! Could I be having delusional episodes? Is this really happening?!"
"Could it be..."
Upon hearing this, Ancestor Yanling looked over again, and his pupils suddenly contracted!
"The Patriarch of Spirit Control?"
More than half of the members of the Yixian Alliance shouted in disbelief, rubbing their eyes and doubting whether they were seeing things. They had clearly lost contact twenty years ago, so why did they suddenly appear before them today?
Many of the original members of the Spirit Realm broke down in tears upon seeing this, their emotions ranging from heartache and joy to anticipation and despair. Clearly, this scene had severely shattered the psychological defenses of many.
Recalling that tragic breakout in the past, it is now being staged once again.
What we see are still the figures who fought bloody battles back then!
"Brother Yanling~~~"
The deep voice came from afar, which made Ancestor Yanling's eyes moisten. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he reached out his hand, trembling, to reply.
Brother Yu Ling
The figure tumbled and rolled in the laser beams, its movements slow and stiff, but each step was precisely timed to be between all the intersecting firepower. Occasionally, it was covered by every angle and could only endure the attacks, finally stumbling and falling to the front of the group.
All eyes were drawn to this place, and they discovered that it was indeed the Spirit Master, exactly the same as he had been twenty years ago. He looked middle-aged but had seen many vicissitudes of life, his face full of stories, with a stubble beard and drooping eye bags, clearly showing that he had been traveling all the way and was exhausted, and more importantly, he was seriously injured.
At this moment of reunion after a long separation, a thousand words are not enough to express my feelings!
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm back."
"Are you injured?"
Master Yanling held his hands, shocked by the severity of his injuries, which were so severe that he was nearly at the end of his life. He wondered why he had become like this and how he had managed to live alone all these years.
"Let's not talk about this anymore!"
The Spirit Master looked heartbroken. It turned out that when he was surrounded and attacked by the army of the Microcosm, he stayed behind to hold off the mysterious void creatures. He was in great danger and struggled to finally shake them off.
But in the blink of an eye, they found that the main force had disappeared without a trace!
As a forbidden zone in the universe, it was difficult to find one's way without clear coordinates. Without a treasure ship like the Xuanwu Spirit Ship, one would wander aimlessly like someone in a maze. It took a long time before one finally escaped and returned to the normal universe.
But that was six months later!
The Spirit Master was exhausted and severely depleted, but there was no spiritual energy to replenish him. He could only grit his teeth and rely on the coordinates of the Kongtong Realm in his memory to embark on the search alone.
Unfortunately, when he arrived at that space, he found it completely empty.
The coordinates of the Kongtong Realm have been drifting and floating in the void. It took a lot of effort from astronomers and equipment from the entire universe to calculate the coordinates. Now that the time limit has passed, how can he manage it all by himself?
Fortunately, cultivators at the Void Transformation stage are not easily defeated; even in adversity, they can grit their teeth and persevere, wandering in the void for three years searching everywhere.
In the end, we had no choice but to give up.
A feeling of being abandoned by the entire civilization hung in his heart. The immortals went to the Kongtong Realm to live a secluded life, leaving him alone to wander the starry sky!
The Spirit Master later returned to the Faint Light Human World, wanting to replicate the old path of the Forgotten Immortal Alliance, but how could he manage it all by himself?
In addition, the local forces of the Microcosm were already prepared, and some Star Martial Emperors were secretly watching. As soon as there was any disturbance, they would immediately discover the thief who stole the chicken and catch him on the spot and beat him up!
That battle was extremely tragic. Facing the relentless encirclement alone, anyone would have despaired, but the Spirit Master managed to escape in the end.
He was seriously injured and had no choice but to find a place to recuperate for three years.
During his recovery, he used up all the consumables he carried, almost completely emptying his pockets. All that awaited him was to pass away peacefully in the era of the ultimate laws of the cosmic luminosity.
But then, he made a decision that no one expected.
That's like waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump!
He knew that Lin Shan would definitely try to break through to the Void Realm in the Kongtong Realm, so he would have to go through the 'Void Inscription Dao' in the middle steps. At that time, he would have to travel to a specific location to contact the dark side of the laws of this universe!
Therefore, after several detours, they left behind contingency plans at the places where the three great spiritual realms were once inherited, just to wait for Lin Shan to descend.
"As it turns out, my gamble paid off. Young friend Lin did indeed go, and to the very place where I used to oversee the inheritance of the Spirit Control Realm. But by the time I got there, he had barely left. I followed him, only to encounter this scene."
Seeing the Kongtong Realm turned upside down, its spiritual energy completely drained, and on the verge of collapse, he was utterly dumbfounded.
After going through all that trouble to finally reunite with the group, only to find out that their new home is going to be gone too?
"Sigh, this..."
Speaking of this, Ancestor Yanling looked back at the sky. Lin Shan was still busy breaking through to the final step of the Void Realm and condensing the Dharma Aspect Domain. He couldn't care about anything else for the time being and could only sigh repeatedly, "It's all about timing and fate."
However, with a formidable enemy at hand, internal strife is unacceptable; it's better to remain silent than to speak out.
When the topic of a formidable enemy came up, I suddenly realized what it was!
"Wait, that Space Alliance fleet, you didn't lure it here too, did you???" (End of Chapter)
