Chapter 825: The Invincible Returns!
Earth, the Ancient Land Gate.
A halo flashed by, and silhouettes emerged from the light portal.
Leading them was none other than Lin Mu.
Returning from the Ancient Land, Lin Mu’s aura had reached its peak, his divine presence repressed, reverting to a natural state.
His steps were leisurely, as if strolling in his garden, playing in the mundane world.
Following him was the disciple in name, Langya, and then the maiden Shangguan Shiming.
Behind them was an elder with white hair and beard, his aura mighty and grand.
This was Lord Zhe Mei, the Supreme Venerable of the Carefree Pavilion.
At this moment, he stood obediently behind Lin Mu as a servant.
Further behind were the former Carefree Pavilion’s Old Ancestor Xunxiang and eight newly promoted Golden Core Great Ancestors.
Finally, there were a thousand Foundation Building Immortals in great numbers!
The pinnacle of the Ancient Land’s combat power had almost fully mobilized.
Upon just stepping out of the Ancient Land Minor World, thirty percent of the Ancient Land’s cultivators sensed the terrifying restraining power of the world’s suppression.
Conversely, those who established their foundation during Lin Mu’s seven-day preaching were refreshed and didn’t feel any discomfort.
During Lin Mu’s preaching, the Ancient Land Minor World and Earth were linked, becoming one, so at that time the established Foundation was accepted by the secular world’s nature and naturally wouldn’t face suppression!
"Is this the secular world? It’s truly prosperous."
Lord Zhe Mei sighed as he looked at the neatly aligned skyscrapers before him.
Compared to the sparsely populated Ancient Land Minor World, the secular world was much denser with people.
The Ancient Land Minor World was vast and sparsely populated, with large cities even connected by teleportation arrays.
"Zhe Mei, Xunxiang, those who reached Foundation Establishment before the connection, come before me!"
Lin Mu, with a step that felt like ascending to heaven, faced the crowd.
"We obey your decree!"
Hundreds of people stood at Lin Mu’s feet.
"Decree!"
Lin Mu pointed a finger, and talismans condensed from void, transforming into runes, shooting at these people.
Boom!
These individuals felt a tremble in their bodies, and the world’s suppression that had made them very uncomfortable vanished!
Even those who already revered Lin Mu as a god-like figure after the seven-day teaching were now awed by his methods!
A single talisman resolved the world’s suppression, a secret technique not recorded in the Ancient Land sects.
They couldn’t even imagine what kind of Dao arts could use a single talisman to remove the world’s suppression!
Lord Zhe Mei took a deep breath, feeling the vastness of heaven and earth at his command, naturally arising with a feeling of high spirits.
Ninety-nine percent of them had never left the Ancient Land Minor World, never seen the world beyond!
In the past, they thought the Ancient Land was the Holy Lands, while Earth was the secular domain!
But now, being on the scene, they found Earth’s spatial barrier more solid than the Ancient Land Minor World!
Not even the strongest, like Lord Zhe Mei, could shatter the void!
Earth as the Upper Realm, Ancient Land as the Lower Realm!
This thought arose naturally in the hearts of Zhe Mei and others.
Thousands of years of deeply ingrained thoughts shattered in an instant!
The shock in their hearts was beyond imaginable!
"The talisman needs a day to fully stabilize. Stay here and seek me at the Qin Family once it’s stable!"
Arranging everything, Lin Mu didn’t linger and flew towards the Qin Family Ancestral House.
Following closely were Shangguan Shiming, Langya, Juling Yin, Li Duanjian, Li Kunlun, Mo Jiuchan, and Huang Ming’er, a group of exiled immortals!
Only these people were qualified to follow Lin Mu at this time!
"Zhe Mei, for thousands of years, our Ancient Land Sects really have been blinded by a single leaf."
Old Ancestor Xunxiang approached Lord Zhe Mei, looking complex.
They were once both Golden Core Great Ancestors of the Carefree Pavilion, and Xunxiang’s status was even higher than Zhe Mei’s.
Unexpectedly, after seven days of preaching, Zhe Mei broke through the middle stage of Core Formation, but Xunxiang did not.
Now, Lord Zhe Mei’s status was above Old Ancestor Xunxiang’s.
"This connection between the Ancient Land and the secular world... and Earth is also an opportunity for us! As long as we concentrate on what the Invincible Venerable arranged, we’ll be fine."
"Indeed so!"
The two former Old Ancestors of the Carefree Pavilion smiled at each other, feeling quite emotional.
A few days ago, they absolutely did not anticipate this outcome.
...
In the sky, Lin Mu flew with his sword at a speed of a hundred miles per breath.
Boom!
A loud noise, spiritual energy erupted.
The sounds of battle caught Lin Mu’s attention.
Lin Mu frowned slightly; this was the interior of Huaxia, and to have God-Communicating Martial Artists fighting recklessly—it had only been a month, and had Huaxia fallen into such chaos?
That day, Lin Mu used the Nine Tripods and Three Legs to pierce the Ancient Land Minor World.
The spiritual energy in the Ancient Land Minor World was continuously pouring into Earth, causing a spiritual awakening.
Lin Mu anticipated that with the spiritual awakening, more powerful beings would appear on Earth.
Had the old Heavenly Master Zhang Daoyun and others previously suffered from a dearth of spiritual energy, unable to break through?
With the resurgence of spiritual energy, this group could now soar to the heavens.
Even with Zhang Daoyun’s understanding of cultivation, achieving Foundation Establishment in one day and Core Formation in ten would not be surprising to Lin Mu!
Given Zhang Daoyun’s realm, living in a spiritually rich environment for a few years, he should surely form a Golden Core, becoming a Land Immortal!
Lin Mu had not expected that with Zhang Daoyun, Shen Lang, and many of his disciples overseeing, Huaxia would still be in such chaos!
"Kill!"
Below, cries of battle erupted.
With a thought, Lin Mu descended with his sword, overlooking the scene below.
In a dilapidated coastal village, a dozen elite soldiers in camouflage were battling a zombie!
"Eh? These soldiers are actually martial artists in the Inner Strength Realm! Not much inferior to the Divine Machine Camp!"
Surprised, Lin Mu wondered when the military developed such a special unit.
Then, the zombie was finally slain by the dozen soldiers!
After the zombie’s death, a dense black aura scattered and entered the bodies of those dozen soldiers.
The bodies of these soldiers began to swell, their muscles bulging, with their strength visibly increasing.
"Master, that black aura seems peculiar!"
Langya frowned, noticing something wrong with the black smoke.
The soldiers’ strength increased too rapidly.
If enhancing strength were this simple, why practice Dao?
Lin Mu, this Invincible Venerable, even with his Great Divine Power, only achieved so much after seven days of preaching!
If the secular world were truly this powerful, then Earth really was the Upper Realm!
"That is Triple-realm Black Evil Qi! A particularly venomous kind of special Evil Qi!"
While the Ancient Land cultivators couldn’t identify the source of the black aura, Lin Mu, the Emperor Zun in his previous life, recognized it at a glance.
"Triple-realm Black Evil Qi..."
Langya, Shangguan Shiming, and others pondered on this name, growing cautious.
For Lin Wudi to call it venomous, this black aura was certainly extraordinary!
"Let’s go down and see!"
Lin Mu felt an ominous premonition and descended with his sword.
"Who goes there!"
"Who!"
The dozen soldiers below were extremely alert.
As Lin Mu’s group descended, they were immediately noticed.
These dozen soldiers, eight wielded cold weapons—knives, spears, military bayonets—while the other four carried automatic rifles and other modern weapons.
The combination of cold and modern weapons seemed quite unconventional.
"Eh? So it’s Teacher Lin from the Divine Machine Camp! And he didn’t die this time?"
Among the soldiers, the leading captain recognized Lin Mu.
Only, his arrogant expression made Shangguan Shiming and the others’ anger difficult to suppress.
