After Wanhe left, Ge Ling'er and the others arrived at the mountain forest and saw that Zhuge Qingmu's body had been possessed, while his primordial spirit had vanished into thin air.

But at the same time, Lin Jinglong gained an ally.

Ge Ling'er frowned and said, "Let him go like this. Wan He is not simple. Cooperating with him is like asking a tiger for its skin."

Lin Jinglong laughed heartily.

"Rest assured, this person has already made a solemn vow."

"But isn't that still not enough to be safe?"

Ge Ling'er looked at Lin Jinglong with some suspicion.

Given this guy's personality, how could he let Wanhe off so easily?

At this moment, Lin Jinglong transmitted his voice, "I planted a soul seed in him when he swore the oath, and I am monitoring his every move."

"I see."

Ge Ling'er was immediately awestruck by her beauty.

She knew exactly how powerful Wan He was.

In ancient times, he could be considered a powerful figure.

To let him go like that was certainly not Lin Jinglong's style, but she could also see that it wouldn't be so easy for Lin Jinglong and Wan He to determine a winner.

This person's methods are far too cunning.

So Lin Jinglong decided to take another approach.

By leaving a soul seed in Wanhe's body, as long as he doesn't notice, this person will be under his control for a short period of time.

As for whether that vow of faith will have any effect.

Lin Jinglong didn't have much hope.

After all, the situation in this sacred realm is complex and multifaceted.

Countless ancient cultivators hid among the people by possessing other people's bodies.

Who knows what might happen next?

Dealing with Lin Ruchu is key, but one cannot trust others too much; self-preservation is still essential.

Not long after.

Lin Jinglong returned to the secret treasure he had visited before.

Upon arriving at the Ascension Platform, Situ Zhentian and the Qian family were still conducting their research, but they had yet to reach a conclusion.

"What exactly is the purpose of this ascension platform?"

Looking at the golden ascension platform.

Everyone fell into deep thought.

Lin Jinglong stepped forward and said in a low voice, "According to the information you provided, Lin Ruchu is currently attempting to refine this item, but we probably don't have the same refining method as him."

"Moreover, even if the Ascension Platform is refined, it probably won't have much to do with the Immortal Realm; it's just another conspiracy."

"We still know too little about the Holy Realm."

According to what Wanhe said before, a great being from thousands of years ago had already made a prophecy that a great change would occur in the world within a month.

This is the issue we need to face right now.

The so-called immortal realm is clearly too far in the future.

"Leave this here for now. You all stay here and guard it. I'm going to Yingzhou Immortal Island."

The others naturally had no objections.

Several forces, including the Dark Star Auction House led by Situ Zhentian, the White Lotus Society, and Wanlong City, remained here to guard the Ascension Platform and conduct research.

Lin Jinglong, on the other hand, headed to Yingzhou Immortal Island.

Meanwhile, Wan He, who had already transformed into Zhuge Qingmu, rushed toward the secret treasure where the third ascension platform was located with a gloomy expression. After devouring and refining the remnant soul of Zhuge Qingmu, he obtained a lot of related memories.

"There are also 500 members of the Hidden World Alliance in that place. It seems we still need to be more careful. I can no longer afford to expend too much energy."

Wanhe sighed.

He also found Lin Jinglong to be a challenge.

"Fortunately, we've already established a cooperative relationship with this person. It seems he's quite wary of me, but..."

A cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"I remember there's a dangerous person inside the third Ascension Platform. Once we get past the Zhuge family, we can take Lin Jinglong with us, and he'll be dead for sure!"

"What will vows of the heart mean then?"

His oath was to fight Lin Ruchu and the Hidden World Alliance alongside Lin Jinglong, but once Lin Jinglong died, the oath would naturally be null and void.

However, what he didn't expect was...

Lin Jinglong also took precautions against him.

A seed of soul was left inside him.

He will pay the price for any unusual move he makes.

Subsequently, Wanhe, who descended upon Yingzhou Immortal Island, was surrounded by a large number of martial artists, all of whom were members of the Hidden World Alliance.

They saw Zhuge Qingmu return.

A middle-aged man named Zhuge Jing arrived at the head of the group.

"Congratulations, Ancestor! You must have achieved a resounding victory and dealt with that bastard named Lin Jinglong, right?"

"No need for further words, has the secret treasure already been opened?"

Wanhe uttered an arrogant question.

He dealt with these people in the same manner as Zhuge Qingmu.

The group looked at each other, and they all showed some shame.

"Ancestor, we still need some time."

"You bunch of useless trash!"

Wanhe spat out a curse.

However, he still headed towards the entrance to the secret treasure.

"Fine, I will personally open this secret treasure to save you from wasting my time."

"Um?"

Everyone else was dumbfounded.

Zhuge Qingmu was not good at breaking ancient restrictions.

Why did he suddenly understand after just one trip out?

"Ancestor, are you really capable?"

"nonsense!"

Wanhe was too lazy to say anything more to them.

He went straight to the secret location and activated the restriction.

The others exchanged bewildered glances, wondering why, when they saw Zhuge Qingmu again this time, he seemed different from when he left.

This made them begin to have some doubts.

However, as the secret treasure was gradually opened, their attention was drawn to it.
