Zhan Wushuang was stunned when he heard this.

"To jointly comprehend immortal techniques?"

Lin Jinglong is being incredibly generous.

You must know that immortal techniques are closely guarded secrets in any power. Not to mention outsiders, even one's own imperial son wouldn't easily obtain them.

You must accumulate enough merits.

Or perhaps they were protected by the legacy of their ancestors.

Only then are they qualified to learn immortal techniques.

Most of them are Earth-rank or Heaven-rank martial arts techniques.

Even suitable cultivation techniques are hard to come by!

Zhan Wushuang subconsciously suspected that Lin Jinglong was up to something. Could he have set up some kind of trap inside, waiting for the Zhan family to unknowingly step into it?

However, when he looked at Lin Jinglong's kind and amiable face, and heard his explanation that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, he was deeply moved.

Zhan Wushuang relaxed his guard slightly.

"That's wonderful! Just as Young Master Lin said, our Zhan family has been irreconcilably opposed to the Hidden World Alliance since we withdrew from it. Young Master Lin also has a blood feud with them. If there's a chance, I'd really like to help you deal with the Lin family!"

"That's good. It'll be a pleasure working with you!"

Lin Jinglong immediately shook hands with him.

Afterwards, Zhan Wushuang and his group followed Lin Jinglong into the depths of the tunnel, and under Qian Duolu's leadership, they headed to the lowest level of the secret treasure.

On the way, Qian Duolu felt confused.

"Master Lin, why share the immortal techniques with them?"

Lin Jinglong had a faint, cold smile on his lips.

He followed behind Qian Duolu.

"No need to ask any more questions, just do as I say!"

"Understood!"

Qian Duolu knew Lin Jinglong's personality well; he either didn't do anything, or he did it thoroughly, and he never wanted to be taken advantage of.

He was someone who had suffered at the hands of Lin Jinglong before.

He led the way, guiding the direction ahead.

Behind them, Lin Jinglong, along with Ge Ling'er and Luo Tianhe, had already ventured deep into the innermost part of the tunnel.

Meanwhile, the Zhan family members were further back.

They became slightly more cautious.

Li Xuanwei whispered a reminder: "Young Master, I find this person's behavior a bit strange. He actually said he wanted to share the immortal techniques with us equally. Is that reasonable?"

"Whether it's reasonable or not, there should really be a constitution inside. It's said that dozens of secret treasures in Fangzhang Mountain have been opened in the past half day, and I wonder how many people have benefited from them!"

Zhan Wushuang's eyes also burned with passion.

If they could obtain an ancient, inherited immortal technique, their trip would have been worthwhile.

Li Xuanwei took a deep look at Lin Jinglong's back.

He knew that his young master's perception had been clouded by the magic, but he still remained vigilant.

"Hmph! I don't believe anyone would be so generous, because it's impossible for someone who is an enemy of the Hidden World Alliance to value us so much!"

Li Xuanwei and the others followed Lin Jinglong deeper into the area.

Soon after, they appeared in front of an altar, on which was placed a jade slip.

The restrictions around this altar have all been lifted by the Qian clan.

Qian Rushan stood before the jade slip, his gaze burning with fervor.

Afterwards, Lin Jinglong appeared in front of the altar. Although he intended to use the Sitting Mountain Technique to harm the Zhan family, he was not in a hurry to make a move.

We need to find out at least what kind of cultivation technique is inside this jade slip.

"Young Master Zhan, would you like to take a look first?"

Lin Jinglong turned around and said very politely.

Zhan Wushuang waved his hand repeatedly.

He said very sincerely, "How could we accept that? We are guests after all, and it was you who gave us the immortal technique. Young Master Lin, please take a look first."

Lin Jinglong chuckled.

Knowing that Zhan Wushuang, that big oaf, would respond in this way, he simply took the jade slip.

The Qian family members were whispering amongst themselves in the back.

"What is Master Lin up to? What's going on with the Zhan family?"

“Ancestor, Young Master Lin has his own plans, we don’t need to ask any more questions.”

Qian Duolu whispered a reminder.

Qian Rushan glanced at Lin Jinglong and also showed a strange expression. He naturally knew Lin Jinglong's personality.

How could the Zhan family take advantage of him?

Li Xuanwei, standing to the side, watched Lin Jinglong pick up the jade slip and felt inexplicably suspicious.

"Could there be something wrong with this jade slip? After all, there are many mysterious things in these ancient treasures, and I've also heard that in some of these treasures, the divine souls left behind by ancient powerhouses are hidden in those jade slips."

"The jade slip seems to contain inherited immortal techniques, but it also hides the souls of ancient powerhouses who are attempting to seize control of it."

"This is extremely dangerous for ordinary cultivators!"

After hearing Li Xuanwei's telepathic message, Zhan Wushuang became even more convinced that it was the right decision to let Lin Jinglong take the jade slip first.

"If there is indeed an ancient powerful being's soul hidden in that jade slip, attempting to possess someone's body, then Lin Jinglong will be in big trouble. After all, those ancient powerhouses were extremely powerful."

Zhan Wushuang's expression had become serious.

At this moment, Lin Jinglong examined the contents of the jade slip and discovered that it was a unique sword technique.

"Soul-Severing Strike?"

"Infuse your divine soul power into the blade to nurture its energy. The stronger the divine soul power, the more terrifying the power of the strike!"

"What's most terrifying is that this blade doesn't sever the physical body, but rather the soul; that's why it's impossible to defend against!"

Lin Jinglong's eyes lit up.

This soul-severing strike was surprisingly well-suited to him.

After all, his spiritual power was already incredibly strong.

He could even rival the Celestial Martial Emperor!

"Moreover, this Soul-Severing Strike is almost impossible to defend against. It may seem like an ordinary slash of sword energy, but in reality, it won't cause any damage to his physical body. It only injures his soul!"

Lin Jinglong memorized all the mental techniques and incantations of the immortal arts within the jade slip, intending to study them carefully upon returning home.

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened.

A sinister laugh reached my ears.

When he turned around, he found that the area around the altar where he had been standing was now pitch black, and apart from the underground palace, the surrounding area had turned into endless void.

"No way? It's happening again?"

Lin Jinglong had experienced something similar before; he had once gone through something similar while at the Tianji Martial Academy.

A jade slip containing the legacy of an ancient evil cultivator is hidden within.

That evil cultivator was quite powerful and attempted to possess the bodies of the geniuses who participated in the jade slip, and Lin Jinglong became his target.

The problem is that Lin Jinglong's spiritual strength far surpasses that of ordinary martial artists, let alone these ordinary evil cultivators who have been hiding for thousands of years.

Even someone as well-known as Mo Dongchen couldn't outmaneuver him and try to possess Lin Jinglong.

It's like walking into the line of fire!

A figure in a gray robe appeared in the underground palace.

It was a hunched old man with gray, disheveled hair that draped over his shoulders, and he was carrying an ancient sword that was almost as tall as him.

At this moment, he was staring at Lin Jinglong with his scarlet eyes.

"Young man, how many years have passed in the outside world? Now that the Holy Realm has reopened, its spiritual energy must have recovered, right?"
