In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone

#441 - The proper yin lin

Superior?

Could this middle-aged scholar be the… leader of this Tianluo branch?

Wang Jixuan stepped forward for a closer look, a feeling suddenly arising in his heart.

This isn't a person.

Not that he was cursing this superior, but Wang Jixuan felt that the middle-aged scholar before him wasn't a living being, giving him a strange sense of déjà vu.

It seemed to have a similar quality to the spirit servants he created in his second life.

Intricate puppet?

An external avatar of the magic item type?

Wang Jixuan carefully sensed, even through the thick light barrier, he could still feel the vast and boundless magical power within the other party's body, his primordial spirit feeling a faint pressure.

To be able to make him, as he is now, feel pressure…

Immortal-level combat power!

Daoist Wang's eyes shone brightly, a series of possibilities popping up in his mind. He seriously suspected that this middle-aged scholar sitting at the bow of the ship and stopping it was a clone of a powerful figure from the Immortal Realm, or a puppet thrown down to the lower realm by some peerless expert!

However, now was not the time for him to show himself. The cloaked strongman who had appeared on the other side was clearly an enemy from the Dark Sect.

The two were communicating in a language that Wang Jixuan didn't quite understand.

Huizhi Sanren, noticing his seeming anxiety, slipped a delicate jade cicada into Wang Jixuan's palm. Daoist Wang immediately understood the conversation between these two experts.

Incidentally, he also understood the whispers of the others.

This jade cicada was also an item of the Tianluo, facilitating their missions in various realms, allowing them to communicate without hindrance. After using the jade cicada to translate for a period of time, they could master the language of this realm on their own.

This was also why the Tianluo people communicated smoothly with Wang Jixuan, while the Dark Sect people spoke haltingly.

Listen to the 'leaders' of both sides negotiating:

The cloaked strongman said in a deep voice: "Leave this Wang Zheng, this is my only bottom line."

"I'm afraid that won't do," the white-robed scholar said with a smile, "Your Dark Sect has suffered heavy losses this time, naturally because you are inferior in skill and lack wisdom. These words were given to this poor Daoist by you a hundred years ago, and I return them to you today."

"Don't think that I'm really afraid!"

"If you're not afraid, then attack."

The white-robed scholar clicked his tongue lightly:

"This poor Daoist is just sitting here, not fighting back when hit, not arguing when cursed. Fellow Daoist is a true Loose Immortal, and also possesses two Immortal artifacts, how can this poor Daoist be your opponent."

"That's right, Fellow Daoist, think clearly about the consequences."

"This poor Daoist is not threatening Fellow Daoist, even if Fellow Daoist's master came in person, I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to touch a single finger of this poor Daoist."

"You! Bastard!"

The cloaked strongman seemed to have been provoked, directly bursting into a torrent of abuse:

"Relying on the fact that you were enlightened by a senior to flaunt your power! Even if I kill you, it's impossible for that senior to descend to the lower realm for such a trivial matter!"

"Come, come, come forward."

The middle-aged scholar revealed his neck, his middle-aged serious face filled with mockery:

"This poor Daoist's neck is right here, this is top-quality skin, as smooth as a maiden, a handsome young man, hahahahaha!"

His tone changed, suddenly scolding:

"If you don't dare to attack, then get out of here for this poor Daoist!

"Your Dark Sect is acting recklessly, destroying the order of heaven and earth, you will definitely suffer retribution!"

The cloaked strongman narrowed his eyes slightly.

What made him wary was firstly the background of this middle-aged scholar, and secondly the strength of this middle-aged scholar.

Don't look at the fact that the other party doesn't seem to have the demeanor of an expert, directly cursing in the streets and being a bit narcissistic, in reality, the other party also possesses important treasures, and his strength is almost the same as a Red Dust Loose Immortal, making it difficult to achieve much against him.

"Hmph!"

The cloaked strongman said coldly:

"Very well, Yin Lin, remember this for me!

"This time, so many of our good men have died, we will definitely make your Tianluo repay with blood!"

"Heh," the middle-aged scholar smiled coldly, "You have killed so many of our brothers, and I have never come to your door to say such harsh words. We Tianluo pursue order, while you pursue chaos, let each side rely on their own abilities."

The cloaked strongman flicked his sleeves, his figure directly tearing open the colorful light barrier on the side, disappearing in an instant.

The middle-aged scholar shook his head, muttering in his mouth: "All bark and no bite."

Then, without turning his head, his voice spread throughout the ship:

"Don't worry, the other party has retreated, this poor Daoist awaits you to come and report for duty."

The cultivators on the ship simultaneously cupped their hands and bowed in salute.

Wang Jixuan followed suit.

Afterward, Daoist Wang felt a pair of eyes fall on him, staring for about four or five seconds.

Then, these eyes moved away. Wang Jixuan looked up and saw that the front of the ship was empty, without the shadow of the middle-aged scholar.

Not far ahead, a vortex slowly rotated, constantly enlarging. This ship had also reached the end of its journey, immediately drilling towards the vortex.

That distorted colorful glow quickly faded away, Wang Jixuan seemed to have entered a black and white world, and then this black and white world gained a bit of color, and breathing also became smoother.

"Daoist friend, look, this is the Youbao Realm."

Wang Jixuan looked around, his primordial spirit actually cheering and jumping, an unprecedented feeling rising in his heart.

True Realm;

He had finally taken a step closer to the Immortal Realm.

… …

Youbao Realm.

This True Realm is naturally also round above and square below, originally a place rich in products and outstanding people, with many blessed lands and grotto-heavens, and many large sects established here.

It's just that a terrible thing happened in ancient times, and all the books are vague about it, only knowing that it was a disaster that affected the entire Youbao Realm, and then, a huge abyss appeared in the center of the Youbao Realm, almost dividing the entire realm into two.

This is the Youbao Abyss.

According to legend, the Youbao Abyss was split open by a sword of an immortal, and it was an extremely powerful immortal who killed hundreds of original sects here.

Therefore, some ancient ruins are constantly appearing in the Youbao Abyss.

The existence of the Youbao Abyss seems to have damaged the origin of this realm, making the laws of heaven and earth incomplete, and the concentration of spiritual energy has never been able to increase, becoming a secondary True Realm.

Over time, there are not many large sects in this realm, but small sects are everywhere.

Also, due to the existence of the Youbao Abyss, it has attracted many cultivators who want to ascend to the sky in one step to come and try their luck, so the loose cultivator towns built around the Youbao Abyss are as numerous as ox hair, and all kinds of demons and ghosts can be seen everywhere.

The area within three thousand miles east and west of the Youbao Abyss is a forbidden area for cultivators. Non-Yuanying cultivators cannot set foot there, otherwise, they will either go crazy or die.

There are also many cultivators from large sects who come here to explore opportunities and hone themselves.

The complexities of this place are too numerous to describe.

The ship where Wang Jixuan was located directly appeared in a valley less than five hundred miles west of the Youbao Abyss.

This valley occupies a large area and is covered by a large array. Outside, one can see a layer of miasma visible to the naked eye, which makes the sky here always very gloomy.

Where the ship drilled out, the huge vortex slowly subsided. In the buildings below, many figures looked towards here.

Wang Jixuan sensed the aura. There are about seven or eight hundred people here, of which only one-third are Combined Body Realm cultivators, and there are also many small cultivators of various realms.

On the way, Huizhi Sanren had already introduced them.

Cultivators are also human, and they also have seven emotions and six desires, so it is inevitable that there will be one or two children, descendants, relatives and friends.

Many Tianluo people who abandoned the realm of their original origin brought their children and descendants to live here for a long time.

According to the rules of Tianluo, if a Tianluo member dies in battle, his children and descendants can also preferentially enjoy certain cultivation resources and be cultivated by Tianluo. If they are really the kind of stubborn elm bumps that cannot be cultivated, then they will be sent to a Need Realm, so that the retired Tianluo members can take good care of them.

Yes, Tianluo members can retire.

The threshold for joining Tianluo is very high. It not only requires ability, but also has to pass the Three Heavenly Dao Examinations. Morality and character must be superior.

It is not difficult to withdraw from Tianluo. You only need to complete a sufficient number of tasks according to the number of years, accumulate enough contribution, and then leave freely.

Therefore, many cultivators who know the existence of Tianluo also regard this place as their training station before becoming immortals.

"Fellow Daoists," Huizhi Sanren reminded, "This poor Daoist is taking the ship away."

The cultivators each drove their clouds.

The immortal rope on Wang Jixuan's wrist flickered slightly.

Huizhi Sanren lightly stroked with her plain hand, and this treasure ship turned into a ray of light and returned to her palm, becoming three inches long, and was sent back to her storage magic item.

Wang Jixuan's eyes lit up.

This treasure ship's ability to freely change size is a restriction that he has not mastered. This kind of restriction should not appear in the lower realm.

Can these restrictions be exchanged for contribution here?

A bit of eagerness was added to his heart.

The cultivators said goodbye to each other, and then landed at their respective residences.

Huizhi Sanren's team gathered again, and the other three had already revealed their true appearances.

One woman had the face of a girl, delicate and lovely, but her actual age should be over a thousand years old; an old Daoist was old and decrepit, and his actual age should be four or five hundred years old, not as old as this girl.

However, cultivators do not look at age, mainly at seniority and cultivation.

"Fellow Daoist, please," Huizhi Sanren said softly, "The superior is waiting for us in the Linyuan Pavilion."

Wang Jixuan nodded with a smile, and was led by Huizhi Sanren with the immortal rope, walking towards the largest wooden building here.

The three members of Huizhi Sanren's team were already fantasizing about how much reward they could get this time, and what kind of immortal pills they would exchange for with this large sum of contribution that was about to be obtained.

Those whose cultivation was trapped naturally wanted to break through the realm with immortal pills;

Those who needed other treasures would also carefully pick and choose later.

Inside the Linyuan Pavilion, it was unremarkable.

The first floor was like an office, with scrolls and jade slips piled up like hills everywhere. More than a dozen white-haired old men were sitting behind desks writing furiously.

These old men were all puppets.

Wang Jixuan looked to the left and right, seeing that the most numerous things here were bookshelves.

Six huge bookshelves surrounded a quiet room. Wang Jixuan followed Huizhi Sanren, turning seven times and eight times to reach this place, and saw that cross-legged figure again.

The head of the Tianluo branch, Yin Lin.

Hui Zhi Sanren and the other three bowed simultaneously, saying, "Hall Master, Wang Zheng has been brought."

"Good," Yin Lin said with a smile, discarding the jade talisman in his hand. "Go and collect your rewards. You've done well this time. Your contribution will be doubled on top of the original mission reward. Don't forget to exchange the noses of those Dark Church followers as well."

The four were overjoyed.

The reward for this mission was already exceptionally high, and with the added bonus for assassinating the Dark Church followers, they could potentially not take on any missions for decades, and they would have enough resources!

The four bowed and departed.

As Hui Zhi left, she specifically untied the immortal rope on Wang Jixuan's wrist and said softly, "Fellow Daoist, please don't be impolite. I will wait for you outside the pavilion later."

"Okay, thank you," Wang Daochang cupped his hands.

After Hui Zhi left.

Yin Lin leaned back, resting against the bamboo basket filled with files, his gaze towards Wang Jixuan filled with surprise:

"This… you've already hooked up with her?"

"Huh?"

"Hui Zhi," Yin Lin seemed a bit displeased, "She's considered one of the top ten beauties here. Many people are after her, but she's never been so close to anyone, and she even speaks so softly…"

As he spoke, he deliberately pinched his throat and shouted, "Fellow Daoist~".

The corner of Wang Jixuan's mouth twitched slightly.

He decided to steer the conversation back on track, cupping his hands and bowing to Yin Lin: "Junior Wang Zheng greets Hall Master Yin!"

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Yin Lin let out a strange laugh:

"You're quite handsome. Come and sit down. I've studied your files. You're a talented individual. Would you like to work for Tianluo in the future?"

Wang Jixuan didn't expect this guy to be so direct.

"Senior is straightforward, so Junior won't decline."

Wang Daochang raised his head and puffed out his chest:

"Junior is willing to join Tianluo to uphold justice and eliminate demons!"

"Want to get rewards, just want to get rewards, and still uphold justice."

Yin Lin chuckled:

"Your obsession is to become an immortal. Isn't that obvious? Stop pretending here. What's wrong with admitting what you desire in your heart?"

Wang Jixuan chuckled awkwardly and simply sat down on the futon.

He looked at Yin Lin and said seriously: "Senior has the power of an immortal and is the ruler here, so naturally, he can speak freely. Junior is like a fish on a chopping board. Since I'm already here, I have no room to resist and can only listen to Senior's orders. How can I not be cautious?"

"Well, what you said makes sense. It's my fault."

Yin Lin's eyes showed a bit more appreciation, and he tossed over a file.

Wang Jixuan opened it and took a look.

He sighed softly in his heart.

Good heavens, the major events he did in his first and second lives were almost all recorded on it. Even the number of female companions in his second life was counted, including fleeting affairs, approximately sixteen thousand…

Ahem!

This Third Realm Playboy really deserves heavenly punishment!

This name is not an exaggeration or a metaphor; it's a statement of fact!

Yin Lin continued: "Before you officially join, let's discuss three things."

"Senior, please speak."

"First, I'm very interested in your core circuit. Give me the method to create it, and I'll use my authority to waive your guilt and give you a sum of contribution points so you can exchange for what you need here. How about it?"

"Acceptable," Wang Jixuan nodded lightly. "Junior was previously thinking of giving this production method to Senior in three or four installments, but this time, I can directly take it out."

After speaking, Wang Jixuan took out two finished core circuits, which were the size of a disc and shimmered with various colors.

Yin Lin was a bit shocked at first glance, and then his eyeballs almost popped out.

"How did you inscribe this? So many restrictions!"

Wang Jixuan chuckled: "This uses the technology of the Immortal Forbidden Land… This is the production method."

The Daoist took out four jade talismans and handed them to Yin Lin.

Yin Lin was speechless for a long time after receiving them. He looked up at Wang Jixuan, his eyes flashing with a bit of light, and then with a wave of his sleeve, three jade talismans landed in front of Wang Jixuan.

One jade talisman recorded Wang Jixuan's so-called 'evil deeds'.

—Evil deeds intolerable to the Heavenly Dao.

This jade talisman shattered directly.

One jade talisman had the word 'Outstanding' written on it, which seemed to be some kind of identity marker.

Another jade talisman had twinkling starlight on it, and inside was a number formed by the starlight, which was 'Forty Thousand Sharp', which seemed to be the contribution points.

Yin Lin said: "This matter is settled. I will study it carefully later, and I will have to ask you for guidance if there is anything I don't understand."

"You're too kind," Wang Jixuan held the jade talisman, cupping his hands and saying, "What are the other matters?"

"Second, it's about the feud you've formed with the Dark Church. I need to explain it to you here."

Yin Lin pursed his lips slightly, his expression a bit melancholy:

"I shouldn't be telling you this, but I don't know why, after receiving such benefits from you, I feel a bit sentimental."

"We Tianluo are currently not the Dark Church's opponents… Not only in our area, but in all areas. If you investigate further, it's probably…"

"This Three Realms is about to be finished. Becoming an immortal is actually useless."
