"Immovable One!"
"who?"
Lin Jinglong had never heard of this name before.
He had read through countless ancient books, but had never heard of it before.
Some even doubted whether this was a name Nie Yidao made up.
After all, this guy is crazy and anything he does is not surprising.
Ge Ling'er, however, revealed a thoughtful expression.
"It was him?"
"You actually know him?"
Lin Jinglong looked at Ge Ling'er in surprise.
She nodded and said, "The title of that powerful cultivator is Immovable Venerable. He was a powerful figure who roamed the world in ancient times. Even I, this old ancestor, am ashamed of myself."
She looked at Nie Yidao.
"If it was the Immovable One who did it, then these divine souls should only be a part that remains here, right?"
Lin Jinglong was even more surprised.
This place contains the souls of tens of thousands of ancient cultivators.
This is only a part?
Nie Yidao nodded and said, "That's right, at least 100,000 cultivators died, and at least 100,000 died at each ascension platform!"
Why did they die?
"Refine it!"
Nie Yidao gave Lin Jinglong a deep look.
Ge Ling'er explained, "Legend has it that the Immovable Venerable's cultivation method is to refine and devour the souls of others to replenish his own cultivation strength."
“A single ascension platform once housed 100,000 cultivators, but now only 10,000 remain. The rest must have been devoured and refined by him.”
Lin Jinglong twitched the corner of his mouth.
The three ascension platforms together housed hundreds of thousands of ancient cultivators. It should be noted that those who could enter this sacred realm were not ordinary cultivators; their strength was by no means weak.
They are far stronger than the martial artists of today!
But hundreds of thousands of them were devoured and refined!
"Could it be that the Immovable One has already become an immortal through this method?"
Lin Jinglong looked at the wisp of immortal energy on the ascension platform.
Could this be the aura left behind by the other party?
“Nobody knows.” Nie Yidao’s expression was very painful. He gritted his teeth and said, “Back then, I was also one of the cultivators in front of the Ascension Platform. It’s just that I was far away and managed to escape by chance.”
"After escaping, I followed the original plan, stripped away my physical body, left this jade slip, and waited for the day this sacred realm opened, so that I might have the opportunity to possess the body of a successor and live a second life."
After listening to what he said, Lin Jinglong became even more aware that this sacred realm was a conspiracy, but how did these ancient cultivators determine that?
Will this sacred realm be opened up by someone in the future?
“That’s right. The existence of the Sacred Realm is not difficult to find. Over the thousands of years, countless people have gone in to explore its secrets, but no one has ever been able to unlock the secrets of the Sacred Realm like Lin Ruchu.”
Lin Jinglong had some doubts.
According to the original plan, the sacred realm might automatically open when spiritual energy revives, and those who enter to explore it later will be possessed and their bodies taken over.
Let these ancient cultivators live a second life.
"If this conjecture is correct, then Lin Ruchu's forced activation of the Saint Realm actually disrupted their plans. I doubt those people could have imagined that the martial arts world would later give rise to such a strange cultivation method as the Lin Clan Secret Technique."
As for the matter of sacrificing five million people...
For those ancient cultivators...
It shouldn't be considered a big deal.
Lin Jinglong strode towards the ascension platform.
Nie Yidao's expression was extremely horrified. He said in a trembling voice, "What are you going to do? If you get close to the Ascension Platform, what if you alert the Immovable Venerable?"
"Not to mention, these cultivators left behind boundless resentment before they died, so it's hard to say whether they still have any reason left!"
Lin Jinglong remained calm upon hearing his warning.
"Don't be afraid. If that Immovable Venerable really ascended to immortality through the Ascension Platform, there's no reason for him to come back. As for the remaining unlucky ones, they can't do anything to me."
Lin Jinglong has absolute confidence in his abilities.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Lin Jinglong, Nie Yidao simply hid back in the jade slip and returned to Lin Jinglong's inner world, ignoring what was happening outside.
The others present also looked wary and alert, and even Ge Ling'er became much more cautious than usual.
"Are you sure you want to break the seal on this ascension platform?"
"If we don't open it, someone else will."
Lin Jinglong also gave her an explanation.
What seals this Ascension Platform is that immortal aura. Even if they don't open it, do you think others would miss it?
Lin Jinglong approached the mysterious celestial aura.
As if finding its master, this aura instantly entered Lin Jinglong's body, becoming a powerful tonic that nourished his limbs and bones.
This surpasses all spiritual power in the world!
The pure aura even gave Lin Jinglong a feeling of being reborn, causing his cultivation level to rise rapidly.
It didn't take much effort.
He had already reached the peak of the Vajra Realm.
Breakthrough in an instant!
"Earth Profound Realm!"
Lin Jinglong's eyes flashed.
However, a considerable amount of immortal energy remained within him, which he had not yet had time to refine and absorb.
At that moment, countless roars echoed in the hall, and an extremely ferocious ghost face suddenly appeared in front of Lin Jinglong.
"Fudo-sama! You've caused us so much suffering!"
This vengeful ghost is the remnant soul left behind by an ancient cultivator.
He had completely lost his mind, mistaking Lin Jinglong for the Immovable Lord, and affecting everyone else present as well.
In the first wave, hundreds or even thousands of vengeful ghosts rushed out.
"Heh heh, all of you shut up!"
Lin Jinglong let out a low shout.
An almost frenzied surge of divine soul power pressed down upon them.
Thousands of vengeful spirits were instantly suppressed!
"Binding spirits and dispatching generals!"
Lin Jinglong raised his hand and made a gesture.
A large number of vengeful ghosts suddenly and involuntarily changed direction, blocking Lin Jinglong and the others to resist the continued attacks from behind by the mindless remnant souls.
Like a wall, it blocked everything for them.
Lin Jinglong's powerful divine soul began to capture some of the vengeful spirits and bring them into the Life Banner. These were still relatively intact divine souls, each one incredibly powerful.
This was true at least in ancient times.
However, they have all perished.
Even their mental state was not fully preserved.
The banners of life were greatly replenished.
It quickly reached a scale of three thousand, causing the ghostly aura around Lin Jinglong to surge, making him resemble a ghost messenger walking among humans.
Ge Ling'er, Situ Zhentian, and the others standing to the side all showed expressions of utter horror, for they had never seen anything like this before.
"Could it be that Mo Dongchen's purpose in coming here was these ascension platforms, but he encountered misfortune while searching for the Mirage Dragon's origin?"
Lin Jinglong couldn't help but have a guess.
Even he couldn't match Mo Dongchen's skill in using the Spirit Banner. If he could capture these vengeful ghosts, his strength would increase by several levels.
Even the Celestial Martial Emperor is no match for him!
Just as he was silently speculating, suddenly, among the group of vengeful ghosts, a divine soul that still possessed reason was intently watching Lin Jinglong.
"Young man, we are all your ancestors. Isn't it a bit unfair of you to do this?"
