Cultivation: Being Immortal-Chapter 420:

Qing State, northwest region

The Shenmu Sect’s two powerful Tao Achieving leaders obeyed the orders of their ancestor and led their elite troops to block off the area. But when they arrived, the Green Emperor had already sealed the space, making it impossible for them to find the entrance. They could only wait there for the time being.

Before long, on a mountain top, a powerful spiritual energy wave appeared, causing both Tao Achieving leaders to tremble in fear. This kind of energy was beyond their understanding.

Soon after, they saw several Nascent Soul cultivators and injured people flying out.

"Where are the Tao Achieving?"

The two people instinctively thought about how there were at least six or seven other Tao Achieving fighting in the Qing State. Where were the Tao Achieving now?

Before they could think further, the space in front of them began to collapse. The immense energy made them decide to retreat without hesitation, sensing the danger.

As they retreated, they saw a black light sweeping over everything, as if it was going to devour even the space itself.

Yang Luo, who was desperate to survive despite losing her arm, saw the Tao Achieving cultivators from the Shenmu Sect and felt a sense of dread. Without the final blow from the Green Emperor, she would not fear these two. But now, she felt things were looking grim.

"Cursed Green Emperor!"

Yang Luo was really angry in her heart. If she didn’t get a chance to come back, she would have the strength to be born again with a new body and life in a maximum of one thousand years, and another talented Yang Luo would appear.

But now, things were different. He was severely damaged in spirit and no longer had the ability to be born again, or if he did, he couldn’t guarantee that he would retain his memories. Without memories, would Yang Luo still be Yang Luo?

"Possessing someone’s body"

Almost instinctively, Yang Luo thought of possessing a body. She used to despise this practice because it would come with many restrictions, such as affecting the quality of the body’s Spiritual Roots, and after possessing a body, she wouldn’t be able to be born again, but would have to do everything possible to ascend to immortality using this body.

"It’s up to you now"

Despite her reservations, Yang Luo made a quick decision. It was too dangerous now. If other Tao Achievers discovered her, she would almost be defenseless. Instead of dying here, she might as well take a chance.

Yang Luo chose Lin Jiang as her target. She coveted Lin Jiang’s body because it had a lifespan of tens of thousands of years. With such a long lifespan, even if she became a pig, she was confident she could reach the level of Tao Achieving perfection.

Then she would have enough time to plan and complete her plan to mend the Heavenly Dao and bring about the end of the world. By then, she could truly become an immortal.

"Boom"

While flying, Lin Jiang felt a headache and noticed a figure appearing in his mind.

"Yang Luo"

Lin Jiang was shocked, realizing that Yang Luo was planning to take over his body.

"Haha, Li Changsheng, you can’t escape from me. Don’t worry, I will use your body for cultivation, to ensure the Lin family’s legacy continues forever. Yun State is mine, and so is Qing State."

Yang Luo laughed, admiring Li Changsheng’s body as a member of the Four Great Families and the Yun State Five Elements Sect, believing it would make their plans easier.

"Dream on. Even if I die, I won’t give myself to you."

Lin Jiang roared in anger, then threw away Lin Ying, fearing that he couldn’t defeat Yang Luo’s spirit and might harm Lin Ying if possessed.

"Brother…"

Lin Ying cried out in shock when she saw Lin Batian dead. Lin Ying was terrified and had been escaping with Lin Jiang all the way. She didn’t know why Lin Jiang suddenly threw her out.

"Go back to Yun State, protect Yun State cultivator."

Lin Jiang shouted loudly, then used a secret method to escape far away. If someone can take care of Yun State and the Dutian Formation when they go back, Yun State can be saved. Otherwise, with such severe damage, Yun State might not survive.

Lin Jiang was extremely fast, disappearing in an instant into the sky. Meanwhile, within his spiritual mind, Yang Luo was relentlessly attacking Lin Jiang’s soul, making it difficult for Lin Jiang to maintain his flying posture, stumbling as if drunk.

Lin Jiang decided to ignore it and landed directly in a desolate area, his soul starting to fight back.

However, Lin Jiang was no match at all. He had just undergone Soul Changing and had not even started learning the secrets of it, let alone special soul techniques. On the other hand, Yang Luo, being able to perform magic with her soul, demonstrated the huge gap between an ordinary person and a cultivator.

"The level of cultivation in this realm is really poor."

Yang Luo felt that she had teased Lin Jiang enough, sighed, and decided to finish him off. She had already figured out the strength of Lin Jiang’s soul.

Yang Luo truly looked down upon the level of this cultivation world. The highest level achieved here was only Tao Achieving, and various techniques were quite basic, except for a few created by the Green Emperor.

"Die"

Yang Luo unleashed a soul light attack, and Lin Jiang tried to resist but couldn’t, his soul shattered.

"Devour"

Yang Luo immediately began devouring Lin Jiang’s soul. This was Lin Jiang’s mind realm, where he drew his power from. Without feeling the devouring, Lin Jiang would recover.

Lin Jiang had completely lost hope. The gap between their strengths was too large. Yang Luo’s soul was not simply Tao Achieving, but at least Disaster Crossing Period level, while he was only at Soul Changing level. Even if he was relatively strong within Soul Changing, he was just a slightly stronger bug.

"Beep, beep, beep, system detects foreign enemy invasion…"

"The host faced a threat of death, and the system protection rules were activated."

"Ding dong, the system detected that a creature is trying to change the connection between the host and the system. According to the protection rules, the host can choose to give up the contract or keep the contract."

"Keep your promise."

"Ding dong, as per system protection rules, hosts can choose to drive away or kill invading creatures, please make a choice"

"Kill"

"Ding dong, system protection program initiated, starting to kill intruders, countdown, three, two…"

·········

The world was shocked by the battle of the Qing State.

Since the Green Emperor led the humans and demons to battle, the world of cultivation has not seen such a heavy loss of advanced cultivators, with nine Tao Achieving, several dozen Void Achieving, and over three-digit Soul Changing casualties, the damage from this battle was too terrible.

A large group of independent cultivators and small powers were still discussing eagerly, while the major sects had already begun to take action. The Holy Heavenly Sect was the first to be divided, the territory of Zhong State was extremely valuable – every inch was considered precious. The Holy Heavenly Sect lost ninety percent of its experts, now having only one Void Achieving cultivator and a few Soul Changing cultivators. How could they withstand enemy attacks?

Including the Shenmu Sect, several major sects joined forces to divide the Holy Heavenly Sect. A battle even broke out at the Holy Heavenly Sect’s gate, as there were many precious treasures left by Yang Luo.

Next was the Qing State, which originally had four major families guarding it, with several Tao Achieving experts, enough to fend off attacks from other sects. Now, with all Tao Achieving experts killed, the Qing State’s vassals turned against them, attacking the four major families, seizing territory, and causing heavy losses. The four major families were once again on the brink of extinction.

Next was the Yun State, where only Lin Ying and Cao Ying returned unharmed from the Void Achieving. The rest who attempted the Void Achieving only managed to retreat to the Nascent Soul stage, with their physical bodies perishing. Additionally, with a loss of seventy to eighty percent in numbers, they were extremely weakened.

However, Yun State had the Dutian Formation to protect it. Other sects attempted but gave up, as Qing State was far more prosperous. Why bother tackling the tough challenge of Yun State when there was a big piece of meat in Qing State waiting to be devoured?

"Tenth Ancestor, the three sects responded. They are willing to provide shelter for the four major families of Qing State, even willing to cede territory in Yun State for the four major families to recuperate. But there must be a price to pay."

Returning to Anhua City from Qing State, Lin Ying no longer had time to grieve. The battle with Qing State left Yun State and the Lin family with a mess. Currently, Lin Ying is the highest in cultivation level and seniority in the Lin family of Yun State, and she must step up to take charge.

"What do they want?"

"The heritage of the four major families."

"This is taking advantage of our vulnerability."

"Tenth Ancestor, it’s already generous of us to take over the people and horses of Qing State. Even our Lin family cannot assist them without compensation. There must be benefits. We lost too many in this battle. If we don’t quickly reinforce, when other forces devour Qing State, we will be next."

"I understand. Promise them."

Lin Ying let out a sigh and agreed to help when Lin Hanlin’s descendants from Qing State came asking for assistance. She could not help the other people from Qing State as she could not accommodate so many of them in Lin family. Also, other clans were not happy to see Lin family taking in so many people.

"I hate this world."

Lin Ying had a thought in her mind – her father had passed away, her brother was missing, and she had very few relatives left. This world had made her feel no warmth at all.
