Chapter 46 They Came to Our Door
Chapter 46 They Came to Our Door
Deep within the earth's veins.
Lin Yuan transformed into a wisp of quicksand, escaping tens of thousands of miles away.
Only when the blood that had been pressing against his chest could no longer be held back, and he gushed out with a "whoosh," did he forcefully break through the soil and fall out into a hidden, nameless, blessed land.
"Whoosh—hiss—"
Lin Yuan was panting heavily.
His long black robe was now completely soaked in blood.
That's too much of a stretch!
Forcibly activating the fragment of the Eastern Emperor Bell, which involves the fundamental laws of spacetime and time, with a cultivation level at the early stage of the Dao Integration Realm, is practically gambling with one's life.
In that brief moment, frozen in time and space, Nezha's true spirit was snatched from the world-destroying divine lightning.
Lin Yuan's internal organs felt as if they were being torn apart by a thousand knives, and his supreme Dao body almost collapsed on the spot.
He endured the excruciating pain and sat cross-legged on a blue stone.
He slowly unfolded his right hand, which was covered in blood.
In the palm of his hand, a ball of crimson-gold light floated silently.
That was Nezha's last remaining undying true spirit.
Lin Yuan took a deep breath, ignoring the depleted magical power within his body.
He immediately mobilized the essence of "Water and Fire in Harmony," transforming it into wisps of creative energy, which he then channeled into that point of true spirit.
"Buzz—"
Nourished by this energy of creation, the dim crimson-gold light finally stabilized and stopped dissipating.
After an unknown amount of time, a wave of divine thought emanated from the depths of the true spirit.
Nezha's consciousness finally awoke from the darkness.
I felt light and airy all over, as if I were no longer bound by my physical body.
Memories flooded back like a tide.
Blood raining down on the city walls, the Dragon King's sinister grin, and that crimson divine lightning...
He thought he had vanished into thin air.

But the true spirit's perspective slowly becomes clear.
What he saw was a face bleeding from all seven orifices.
"Yuan... Uncle Yuan?"
Nezha's true spirit trembled slightly.
He saw Lin Yuan's Taoist robe, which was stained red with blood.
He saw Lin Yuan's hands, which were still protecting him even though he was frowning.
boom!
Although Nezha was young and unruly by nature, he was not a fool.
In the final moment before the world-destroying divine lightning struck.
That kind of supreme power that even freezes time and space is something that ordinary immortals cannot wield.
"Uncle Shi Yuan... he risked annihilation, body and soul, to snatch my soul back from the wrath of heaven?"
Nezha's true spiritual light began to flicker violently.
His life lasted only seven years.
But he was regarded as a monster, his own father drew his sword against him, and even his mother fainted from crying on the city wall.
He returned his bones to his father and his flesh to his mother, severing all ties of blood and karma, thinking that there was no one left in this world worth his lingering affection.
But it was this chance encounter with "Uncle Yuan," who only took him to Jiuwan River once.
For a wandering ghost like him, they were willing to risk their lives!
"Uncle Yuan..."
Nezha's true spirit nestled gently in Lin Yuan's palm.
"You gave me this life."
"From this day forward, I, Li Nezha, owe nothing to Heaven, nothing to Earth, nothing to Li Jing... I only owe you!"
"As long as I survive, I'll search the heavens and the underworld for you; my life is yours to command!"
In the world of immortals and heroes, loyalty and righteousness are paramount; a promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold!
Lin Yuan kept his eyes closed and focused on regulating his breathing.
But upon hearing this divine message in his mind, a warm current surged through his heart.
"Little one, I haven't spoiled you for nothing."
"Sleep peacefully, leave the rest to me."
Lin Yuan sent a wisp of his divine sense to soothe Nezha, and then completely severed all external perception.
He was fully activating the "Great Heavenly Demon Technique," absorbing the spiritual energy within this blessed land to repair his collapsing Dao body.
……
at the same time.
Qianyuan Mountain, Jinguang Cave.
"Bang!"
Taiyi Zhenren's face was ashen.
Above the bill, there was an ancient incense burner and an apricot-yellow banner covered with talismans for summoning souls.
He had already set up an altar and performed rituals inside the cave, waving the soul-summoning banner for three days and three nights!
According to the secret methods of the Chan Sect, Lingzhuzi was his destined disciple, and the two had a very deep karmic connection.
As long as Nezha's true spirit remains in the world.
Even if it is shattered into pieces, this Soul-Summoning Banner can forcibly gather it together and pull it back to the Golden Light Cave.
but.
Three days have passed, and the summoning banner hasn't shown the slightest movement!
"Who is it?!"
Master Taiyi suddenly stood up, a flash of shock and anger in his eyes.
"To forcibly freeze time and space and intercept the true spirit in such a hopeless situation."
"Moreover, in the past few days, I have been divining the secrets of heaven, yet I haven't even been able to foresee the slightest detail of their clothing!"
Taiyi Zhenren was drenched in cold sweat.
That feeling.
It was as if an unseen hand had covered all the secrets of Nezha's true spirit with a black cloth.
In this great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, even he, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, could not deduce what kind of terrifying and sacred being he must be.
"Could it be that Uncle Tongtian secretly made a move?"
"Or... are those two from the Western Sect taking advantage of the situation?"
Taiyi Zhenren was in a state of utter confusion.
Nezha was the vanguard general who struck lightning during King Wu's conquest of King Zhou, and he was a crucial link in the fight against the Shang dynasty by the immortal Taiyi Zhenren!
If the true spirit is lost, not only will Taiyi Zhenren's millennia-long plan be in vain, but he will also have to go on the Investiture of the Gods list himself.
"No, even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we have to find my apprentice."
Taiyi Zhenren forced himself to calm down.
"Since we can't deduce who made the move, let's do the opposite!"
"Lingzhuzi and I have a master-disciple relationship; the karmic connection remains unbroken."
"This humble Taoist will not deduce the great power, but only the true cause and effect of the Spirit Pearl's spirit. Following this thread of cause and effect, we will surely find our way there!"
Just do it.
Immediately, Taiyi Zhenren bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence onto the Bagua plate.
The secret methods of the Chan Sect were put into operation with a roar.
Countless golden runes arranged and combined in mid-air, transforming into a red line pointing straight to the east!
"Found it."
The eyes of the True Man Taiyi shone brightly.
Disregarding any air of otherworldly elegance, he waved his sleeves, transforming into a streak of golden light that shot through the air with murderous intent, following the causal lines.
……
Time stands still in the mountains, and half a month passes in the blink of an eye.
Inside the secluded paradise, on a blue stone covered with cobwebs, Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
"Click—"
As he awoke, his bones cracked and popped.
The magical power of the Dao Integration Realm has finally been completely stabilized.
The hidden injuries to his internal organs were also fully restored under the nourishment of his centuries of refined cultivation.
"call."
Lin Yuan exhaled a breath of stale air, looking at the Nezha spirit still being nurtured in his palm, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Just now.
"Boom!"
A loud bang suddenly came from the sky outside the cave.
Immediately afterwards, a vast expanse of pure immortal energy enveloped the entire nameless immortal mountain.
"Fellow Daoist inside, I am Taiyi Zhenren from Jinguang Cave on Qianyuan Mountain!"
"Lingzhuzi and I are master and disciple. I implore you, fellow Daoist, to open the door of convenience and return my unworthy disciple's true spirit."
"They came so fast."
Lin Yuan was not surprised.
If even a Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect doesn't have this much tracking ability, then they don't deserve to live in the prehistoric world.
Lin Yuan slowly stood up and brushed the dust off his black robe.
"Now that the main character has arrived, let's have a proper discussion."
With a thought, Lin Yuan instantly concealed the "Great Grade Heavenly Demon Technique" within his body.
What followed was the celestial light of the "Shangqing Yinqi Pian" that had been "borrowed" for free from the Blue Star military think tank!
Not only that.
Lin Yuan even drew out a trace of the aura from the fragment of the Eastern Emperor Bell in his sea of consciousness, perfectly merging it with the Shangqing Immortal Light on his body.
Having done all this, Lin Yuan strode out of the cave.
"Whoosh!"
A figure in black broke through the air and stood with his hands behind his back on the cloud, facing Taiyi Zhenren from afar.
Master Taiyi held his whisk, ready to take action at any moment.
However, when he saw the aura flowing around Lin Yuan.
The Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect suddenly narrowed his eyes, and the whisk in his hand trembled violently.
"This...this is?!"
A tremendous wave of shock surged through Taiyi Zhenren's heart.
The young man in the black robe in front of me, although his cultivation level seems to be only at the Dao Integration Realm, the aura emanating from his very bones is terrifying.
That was a divine light from the Shangqing realm that "seized a sliver of hope"!
Even in the deepest part of this celestial light, Taiyi Zhenren sensed an ancient and desolate aura that made his soul tremble.
That was the lingering sound of an ancient bell that could suppress time and space and reverse yin and yang!
"The Shangqing Daoist arts, coupled with this ancient pressure that even I cannot fathom..."
The murderous aura on Taiyi Zhenren's face vanished instantly, replaced by surprise and uncertainty.
"This person is definitely not some ordinary rogue cultivator!"
"Could he be a top-secret pawn secretly planted by my Uncle Tongtian?"
"Or perhaps... some ancient demon race resurrected and rebuilt their power in another's body?!"
Master Taiyi was hesitant to act rashly.
The Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods was a time of utter chaos and uncertainty in the heavenly secrets.
The three religions jointly signed the Investiture of the Gods. On the surface, the Chan and Jie religions were harmonious, but in reality, there were undercurrents of turmoil.
No one wants to be accused of starting a full-scale war between the two religions at this critical juncture.
If the person in front of me is indeed a spy of the Tongtian Sect Master, then making a rash move will surely provoke the furious retaliation of the ten thousand immortals of the Jie Sect.
