第两千五百七十七章 路遇渡劫期

Time passed like a white horse passing through a crevice, and two days later, Lin Xuan transformed into a streak of shocking light, leaving the Ethereal Immortal Palace without anyone knowing.

In just this short period, for cultivators, it was merely a blink of an eye. However, what Lin Xuan gained was truly remarkable.

The twenty-some split spirit elders needed no mention; even those daoist disciples at the Profound Void stage were all creatures that had lived for tens of thousands of years. Each one's wealth was indeed beyond measure.

Of course, Lin Xuan’s horizons were even more spectacular. Nevertheless, with so much wealth combined, it was enough to make him take notice.

Since Lin Xuan embarked on his path of cultivation, the opportunities he encountered could be counted by the countless. Many times, he had gained significant rewards.

If not for this, he would never have advanced from a mere cultivator to a great cultivator at the Split Spirit stage in just over two thousand years.

Cultivation was all about resources, after all.

However, each adventure, though richly rewarding, could not compare to what he obtained this time.

The Ethereal Nine Immortals Pills originally intended for his plot had fully entered his possession. Moreover, there were more than a dozen types of them, each with unique effects that delighted cultivators. Some could bring the dead back to life and restore bones... Well, such descriptions might be slightly exaggerated, but they were sufficient to help Yuanke emerge from the chaotic Primordial Yin energy unscathed.

From this perspective, his goals had been achieved.

However, the actual dangers he faced went beyond that.

By sheer chance, Lin Xuan also obtained a Transcendation Pill, a divine treasure. This could significantly increase the chances of advancing to the Transcendence stage for Split Spirit cultivators by over ten percent. To call it heaven-defying was not an exaggeration. If he could use the Azure Star Sea to purify the impurities in this Transcendation Pill...

Thinking about this, Lin Xuan's lips curled into a smile. Although he was still far from the Transcendence stage, being able to make some preparations was certainly welcome. Better safe than sorry.

The Ethereal Nine Immortals Pills were indeed treasures of the heavens and earth; one even had already attained sentience. Lin Xuan witnessed this firsthand and could use it to refine an inner body for himself.

In short, the Ethereal Nine Immortals Pills lived up to their reputation as a treasure of the palace, with effects far beyond imagination.

As for the benefits he gained from infiltrating the sect later on, they were countless. Although Lin Xuan had not yet thoroughly counted them, the value was already making him grin uncontrollably.

However, as the saying goes, when good fortune comes, misfortune follows. The benefits obtained this time were indeed significant, but they also brought about a grievous offense that earned him the enmity of the Ethereal Immortal Palace.

But Lin Xuan had always been careful to conceal his movements; it was unlikely that the other party would discover who he was.

However, as the saying goes, one need not fear a million possibilities, only the one. There is no such thing as absolute wisdom; even if something seemed flawless, there could still be flaws.

Lin Xuan's confidence was not complete, so his best choice was to leave quickly and depart without delay.

Thus, leaving the main headquarters of the Ethereal Immortal Palace, Lin Xuan traveled directly back in the same manner he had come. After several days of flight, Lin Xuan left the boundless sea region behind.

He then arrived at a nearby city where cultivators gathered, spending a large sum of crystal stones to activate the teleportation array...

Of course, due to the long distance, it was impossible for him to return directly to the Frost Soul Ice Plain. Moreover, even if he could go back, Lin Xuan would not do so; continuous teleportation lowered risks.

Following the principle that caution is always better, Lin Xuan planned to take a large detour before returning to the Frost Soul Ice Plain.

Half a month later, Lin Xuan transformed into a faintly gray streak of light, soaring over an expansive wilderness. This wilderness was uninhabited and extremely remote; not even ordinary birds or beasts could be seen after several hours of flight. As night fell, Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment before landing on a desolate hill.

Although cultivators were much stronger than ordinary people, their bodies were still not indestructible. After days of non-stop travel, he felt the need to rest tonight.

With this in mind, Lin Xuan waved his sleeves, and a dazzling sword light emerged like a fish swimming through water, quickly creating a simple cave dwelling.

Though it was called a cave dwelling, it was merely a stone cavern carved into the mountain for shelter. As a cultivator, he did not indulge in luxury.

Next, Lin Xuan reached out and tapped his waist; a flash of divine light appeared, revealing a cold jade bed before him.

This item had certain effects on cultivators practicing寒属性 cultivation methods or those who wished to strengthen their bodies. If ordinary people were to stand several dozen feet away from it, they would freeze, but Lin Xuan ignored it and lay down directly.

Since he was resting, Lin Xuan did not activate his qi; soon, he fell into a deep sleep.

不知不觉,就到了下半夜。

Suddenly, Lin Xuan's expression changed as he opened his eyes. Although he was asleep, cultivators of his level naturally extended their divine sense outward. He sat up with a serious look on his face.

He sensed two massive balls of qi flying towards this place at an incredible speed... No, not exactly; their target wasn't here. They were merely chasing and fleeing in opposite directions, coincidentally heading this way.

Normally, such trivial matters wouldn't concern Lin Xuan, as the cultivation world was always filled with peril.

However, Lin Xuan's expression showed extreme tension, even muttering to himself: "How is that possible..."

Sweat dripped from his forehead. His unusual reaction wasn't baseless; these two balls of qi were indeed enormous. If he hadn't misjudged, they were both at the Transcendence stage.

This was impossible. In the Ice Sea World, the cultivation level of the divine realm was only average, and the main race was the妖族. According to legend, there was only one old monster at the Transcendence stage: the legendary Xuan Bing Old Ancestor.

However, this old ancestor hadn't been seen for countless years; no one knew if he was alive or dead. The sudden appearance of two Transcendence-stage existences left Lin Xuan in shock.

He even wondered if his sense might be wrong?

But such thoughts flashed through his mind before the divine sense confirmed that the two balls of qi were indeed getting closer, now within less than ten thousand miles.

Lin Xuan was startled. Without a word, he began to practice the technique for concealing his qi. Regardless of the identities of these two great cultivators, Lin Xuan had no intention of getting involved in their affairs.

Although he was confident in his own strength, facing Transcendence-stage beings would surely be fatal.

Hopefully, they were just passing by and wouldn't notice him.
