Do you know what happened here?
In Lin Jinglong's view, this old man was not the true master of these mists; he was merely a newcomer who had been suppressed here.
After being trapped for thousands of years, although he retained a powerful Yin spirit after his physical body disintegrated, thanks to the opponent's cultivation level, he was still able to do so.
But he may not be very familiar with what's going on here.
If they truly understood, why would they be trapped here?
In the end, the old man had no choice but to reveal the truth.
"This place is called the Immortal Burial Site, or rather, not just Wanhua Mountain, but the entire Southeast Asia is a place of Immortal Burial Sites!"
What is the burial of immortals?
"As the name suggests, this place is a burial ground for immortals. Before the ancient world was separated from the heavens, immortals descended to earth in this area of the South Seas. Later, something happened, and the immortals perished at the bottom of the South Seas..."
As he said this, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes, as if even he didn't know why such a powerful True Immortal would perish in the South Seas.
But this legend was prevalent in ancient times.
Are you sure this is true?
Lin Jinglong had already connected the dots to the five secret treasures, including this strange Wanhua Mountain Heavenly Secret Treasure. The sudden appearance of the source of the mist here was also puzzling to him. It seemed that someone had set up an extremely mysterious magic array in various places in the South China Sea, including Wanhua Island.
The scale was so enormous that even Lin Jinglong could not have imagined it.
"After severing the connection between heaven and earth, I felt that I was about to perish, so I went to Southeast Asia to search for the relics of immortals. Here I did improve my cultivation level and reached the realm of banished immortals. But I had a premonition that the only way to survive the great calamity of severing the connection between heaven and earth was to advance to the true immortal realm."
"So I found this place, but I was trapped in the mist of this cave. I lost all my power and survived for thousands of years in the form of a Yin spirit."
"But I can be certain that there are indeed true immortals here!"
How can you be sure?
Lin Jinglong questioned the old man in gray robes.
The other party pondered and said, "There are tens of thousands of islands in the South Seas, and these islands seem to have no connection. But when I first arrived, I realized that a large formation had been set up here."
"Beneath this great formation lie the buried true immortals!"
"And the secret treasures in the various Southeast Asian locations contain countless heavenly secrets, numbering in the thousands, which serve to suppress them!"
Lin Jinglong's eyes flashed.
"So, including Wanhua Mountain where we are now, all the secrets of heaven are for the purpose of suppressing that so-called true immortal?"
"That's right, there were legends about this in ancient times, but it became a top secret. No one knows what really happened. Some people even say that the reason why the connection between heaven and earth was severed was related to this matter!"
In fact, the gray-robed old man did not know the truth of the matter. However, as a powerful figure from ancient times, the information he obtained was ultimately better than that of others, not to mention Lin Jinglong and others who had been separated by thousands of years.
He added, "Now that the severing of the connection between heaven and earth has ended, the secrets of heaven have become active again. The seal on the Misty Cave where I am is gradually shaking, and the earth-shattering array covering this South Sea will naturally begin to shake as well!"
"Perhaps one day, we will both witness the return of the true immortals!"
His expression quickly turned mysterious.
"Why don't we cooperate and open all the secret treasures before the True Immortal naturally revives? Perhaps we can seize the True Immortal's inheritance ahead of time?"
He came here to obtain the true immortal's inheritance, but his basis was only some rumors circulating in ancient times, and he did not understand the real world situation.
But he seems to be very close to the truth.
However, some details are still missing.
This led to him being trapped in the misty Shandong.
Lin Jinglong glanced at him, then suddenly struck him with his palm.
"The old man is still playing mind games with me."
His Golden Eyes of Multitalentedness revealed that the old man's attempt to discuss cooperation was not out of kindness; he seemed to have prepared some traps to deal with him.
After all, he had been active in Southeast Asia thousands of years ago, so he knew the place better and might have already made arrangements elsewhere.
Lin Jinglong's palm strike nearly destroyed his Yin Spirit.
The old man, whose name was still unknown, suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "I have already told you everything I know, why are you still attacking me?"
"Naturally, it's because you're not qualified to negotiate with me. You said all that willingly, so what does it have to do with me?"
Lin Jinglong never intended to let him go.
He slapped it again with his palm.
The already extremely weak old man suddenly began to tremble.
"If you kill me, I will not let you go, even if I live through another lifetime!"
Enraged, he hurled a vicious curse at Lin Jinglong.
At that moment, a figure inexplicably appeared beside the Spirit Master, having traversed an unknown distance.
He appeared quietly beside Xuanling.
He raised his hand and blocked Lin Jinglong's fatal blow.
“Xingchen, your luck is still as bad as it was back then. Just when the heavenly secrets were about to be shaken and you were about to be freed, you encountered Lin Jinglong, that killing star.”
The person who made the move blocked Lin Jinglong's attack with a blank expression, and then spoke to the gray-robed old man he was protecting in a mocking tone.
The old man, known as the Minister of Justice, suddenly turned his head.
"How do you know my name? You..."
"Have I forgotten even myself?"
The old man who suddenly appeared was dressed in a black monk's robe, and he also had a third eye between his eyebrows. He looked like an elderly version of the spirit medium.
However, he exuded an eerie and sinister aura.
A pair of jet-black eyes that looked captivating.
Moreover, judging from the strength he displayed by easily blocking Lin Jinglong's attack, he had clearly reached the Immortal Realm.
The gray-robed old man, whose real name was Xingchen, suddenly became agitated.
"You are Li Junshou, you are still alive! You are the one who tricked me into coming to Southeast Asia back then!"
"Master! You've finally arrived!"
The Spirit Master also stood up.
Lin Jinglong and the other members of the ten Heavenly Dao clans gathered together, their expressions becoming solemn.
The people from the Superpower Federation looked around and also sided with Lin Jinglong. However, the old man named Li Junshou still put immense pressure on them.
Their foreheads were already covered in sweat.
Shen Xiong Hua appeared behind Lin Jing Long and whispered, "Do you know this old man?"
"I don't know him."
However, Huangfu An suddenly spoke up at this moment.
"The Grand Elder once said that there was a powerful figure behind Xuanling Temple, who was their master. However, the person was extremely mysterious, and even the Grand Elder had never come into contact with him. It turned out that he was an ancient evil cultivator."
Li Junshou and Lin Jinglong exchanged glances.
"The method of blood transformation is indeed well-deserved of its reputation. It was my oversight. Otherwise, once you entered the Misty Cave, you would never have had a chance to come out again."
