In the various caves, stone platforms and altars in the temple, there are rows of human figures.
These figures are either sitting or lying, with different shapes and postures, but the expressions on their faces all maintain a feeling of enjoyment and comfort.
Looking from a distance, it is as if you are seeing a hall full of statues of gods, which makes people feel solemn and dignified.
However, if you get a little closer, you can see that the skin and flesh of some of the human figures are slightly undulating. They are not statues of gods, but more like real living people.
When Lin Xing walked into the hall, he found that almost all the figures outside were breathing gently, just like living people taking a nap, and there was nothing unusual to see.
It's just that in front of the altars or stone platforms of these "living people", one can occasionally see some fruits, wine, meat, incense, candles and paper offerings, as if someone has come to "visit" them.
As Lin Xing continued to go deeper into the hall, he could see that the human figures looked less and less like living people.
A young girl was sitting cross-legged, silently contemplating something in front of the stone wall in front of her.

"There are restrictions in each of the heavenly gates, blocking the immortal energy and thoughts of the ancient immortal."
As Lin Xing and Bai Yiyi continued to go deeper, they could see that those Taoist human figures were losing more and more of the characteristics of humans and life, and each one looked like a statue made of gems.
Bai Yiyi said: "Both sides have their own reasons, so if I am on one side, I will support that side's approach."
However, if these ascended monks who have no background or foundation want to learn various skills and inheritance and get more elixirs, they have to find elders from different sects to ask for them.
The old Taoist tried hard to resist the overwhelming pressure and slowly released his mind: "Old... Ancestor... I can't watch Zheng Tianji destroy the foundation of the Hanhai Sect. If Master knows about this..."
The old Taoist was immediately delighted when he heard this. He was about to say something when the girl waved her hand and said, "Go away! Don't disturb me from practicing the ancient immortal way anymore."
However, the other party was unwilling to elaborate, so Miaoyin did not ask any further questions. After all, every cultivator has his own secrets.
"After these immortals become immortal, the amount of immortal energy they exhale far exceeds that of ordinary cultivators and immortals. Over time, they will even produce immortal stones outside their bodies. These immortal stones not only contain rich immortal energy, but also have magical properties if used in refining pills and tools."
But it is precisely because everyone has tried it personally that Miaoyin knows that it is something that you will regret more if you do it.
All the resources within the sect are distributed by the elders of each hall and the masters of each cultivator. Although everyone has their own opinions on how much to distribute, Miaoyin believes that there is no real standard, or rather, there is only one standard - closeness of relationship, nobility and social status.
"Besides, how can we cultivators, especially those of us who have ascended, be afraid of danger?"
“I wonder how many gates Lin Xing can pass.”
Suddenly, the girl frowned again and looked towards the Tianmen behind her: "Come again? Who is it again? Is this the end yet..."
Seeing this kind of control over the immortal energy, Miaoyin's eyes showed surprise: "What kind of immortal skill is this? How can one control the immortal energy so well?"
Miaoyin talked about the past in the sect and encouraged him, "We should seize this opportunity, work harder, accumulate more Dao merit, and exchange more Dao cultivation resources. Only then will we have a chance to break through to the fifth level and become a supreme immortal."
The incomparably strong immortal energy rushed towards her, hitting her armor like a tsunami. Although most of it was blocked, it still flowed into her sea of consciousness and flesh and blood.
Lin Xing knew Miaoyin was thinking about her, so she didn't get annoyed. She just smiled and said, "Since I'm here, I have to see it for myself."
"Let's stop this reform for a while and then proceed slowly."
Lin Xing sensed the slight fluctuation of immortal energy and could see a cultivator making Taoist gestures. A ball of white mist slowly condensed in front of him. The immortal energy became more and more condensed, and finally, with the movement of the cultivator's fingertips, it was collected into a jade bottle.
Just as Lin Xing and Miaoyin were communicating, the number of Taoist human figures in front of them was becoming fewer and fewer.
Lin Xing smiled slightly. When he was practicing "The Kunlun Immortal Moving Mountains Sutra" and "The Nine Tribulations Transform the Sky", the impact of immortal energy he encountered was much stronger than the wave of immortal energy in front of him. His control over immortal energy was not comparable to that of ordinary immortals or even immortals.
"I heard that the headmaster will collect the skills and inheritance of each lineage in the future, and all of them can be exchanged for Taoist skills in the future."
After learning the location of the other party's Taoist remains, it is natural for people to want to take a look and comprehend them.
Next, Miaoyin stayed in the Immortal Ruins to prepare for work. Before saying goodbye, she reminded Lin Xing not to force himself when visiting the ancient immortal's remains. Then she watched the figure slowly disappear into the depths of the Immortal Ruins.
Talking about Tianhai Zhenxian, the ancestor of the Hanhai Sect and the strongest person in Jixuandong Lingtian, Miaoyin's eyes were full of admiration. She didn't feel dissatisfied at all that the other party took away half of the immortal energy without doing anything.
Lin Xing smiled and said, "Master Bai, didn't you support Luo Huazi and the others yesterday?"
The deeper one went into the hall, the more the crystal-like luster covered the human figures' bodies. Some of the human figures even had their entire faces glowing, as if they had transformed from flesh and blood into some kind of gem.
Then, as Miaoyin felt surprised, Lin Xing's mind moved slightly, and the immortal energy around him became like the ministers meeting the king, from thin to thick... and surrounded them one by one.
"Ten?"
Like them, the ascended monks under Qi Yunzi's tutelage, each of them came here to try to comprehend it.
"So, Junior Brother, isn't it a blessing that you were able to ascend to the Hanhai Sect after the reform?"
Miaoyin still remembers that in order to acquire an immortal skill, she spent ten years tending to herbs in an elder's medicine garden.
However, before she could finish her words, Miaoyin's body suddenly froze in place.
"If you feel something is wrong, you should leave quickly and never force your way in."
Lin Xing recognized the other party's identity; it was Miaoyin, a descendant of Qi Yunzi.
The girl stretched out her hand slightly, and a terrifying pressure stopped the old Taoist from continuing speaking.
"After I find a job and have some foundation in the sect, I can take some time to visit the forbidden area and comprehend the ancient immortal's remains."
On the door is engraved the warning from the ancestors of the Hanhai Sect.
Hearing Lin Xing's answer, Miaoyin nodded to show her understanding.
"Xiao Liu, you've talked enough today, go back."
There are many people like this cultivator who are collecting immortal energy here. They all have serious and cautious looks, as if they are afraid that they will touch the immortal energy in the process.
"Every time I go deeper into the gate of heaven, I am more influenced by that ancient immortal."
She was glad that she lived in such a post-reform era, where she could move forward towards a goal every minute and every second, instead of feeling her old age in a daze amidst all kinds of vague tests and cumbersome interactions as in the past.
And the process of seeking various resources is interspersed with so-called tests.
at the same time.
Feeling the other party's intention, Lin Xing naturally replied: "I am here to see the remains of the ancient immortal, are you here to move the immortal energy?"
"Reform is a ladder, especially for the middle and lower level monks, it is an unprecedented ladder to climb upwards."
There were no merit tests at that time, and there were no Taoist merits that could be exchanged for skills, elixirs, and other spiritual resources.
"The sect should arrange people to collect these immortal stones from time to time."
Feeling the excitement and yearning in Miaoyin's mind, Bai Yiyi sighed: "Damn it, if I were her, I would also support the reform. With the Hanhai Sect's original state, it might as well do some magic."
The next moment, the immortal retreated violently without any resistance, his body seemed to break through the space and disappeared directly in front of the girl.
But the next moment, her eyes moved slightly: "Hmm? Is there another disciple in the sect who has broken through to the fifth level?"
"If it's the same as before, I'm afraid we'll exhaust our lifespans in the Hanhai Sect and won't have a chance to see the realm of the Supreme Immortal."
Miaoyin came here this time to undertake the task of building a fairy vein here.
The two of them continued to go deeper into the forbidden area, feeling the increasingly strong fairy air. Lin Xing glanced at Miaoyin who was fully armed beside him, and asked her why she wanted to do such a dangerous job deep in the forbidden area.
"It's not like now, as long as you accumulate Dao merit, you can exchange it for various resources and prolong your life."
Miaoyin believed that any cultivator who knew about this ancient immortal would surely feel reverence for him, as long as he knew about it. He opened up the heavenly stems and earthly branches with his own strength, broke the barrier between the upper and lower worlds with his magical powers, and created this extremely mysterious and spiritual heaven.
The girl sighed when she heard this, and thought of her disciple. Finally, she waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright, I got it."
In fact, she only hoped that after having enough food supplies, this old ancestor would stay in the Taoist Palace and not come out, otherwise the reforms in the sect would inevitably add new variables.
Lin Xing nodded slightly, looking at the figures in the hall before him who were immersed in the Dao, and said, "After these cultivators were immersed in the Dao, they kept breathing in the immortal energy here day and night, and gradually turned this forbidden area into an immortal vein that slowly generated immortal energy."
The old man had a face full of white beard and was wearing a Taoist robe. He was Luo Huazi's master.
On the other side, when Lin Xing came to the deepest part of the Immortal Ruins, what he saw was a wide-open white jade door.
…
She said to several monks who were drawing formations and transforming the square, "Since Sect Leader Zheng started to reform, he decided to rebuild the Immortal Ruins and build an immortal vein here to connect the immortal energy here directly to the Hanhai City above."
Hearing Lin Xing's answer, Miaoyin sighed slightly in her heart. Although she knew that the other party was unlikely to succeed and this trip would be harmful rather than beneficial, she also knew that it was useless to continue persuading him, so she said, "Then let's go together. I just happened to find a job that requires me to work deep in the forbidden area."
Feeling this, she was even more shocked: "This kind of control over the immortal energy... Could it be that his realm has surpassed the ninth level of immortality and is close to the fifth level?"
She still remembered the past months and years, when she had nothing to do except playing chess, drinking, tasting tea and discussing philosophy, and could only watch her life slip away.
She immediately sensed over and saw Lin Xing on the side opening his mouth and inhaling, as if bringing up a gust of wind, swallowing a large amount of immortal energy into his stomach, which instantly suppressed the concentration of immortal energy around the two of them.
"Let's go, Master Bai." Lin Xing looked into the depths of the gate with anticipation: "Let's see what this ancient immortal left behind."
Speaking of this, Miaoyin recalled the life of the leader of the Hanhai Sect before he carried out the reform.
When Miaoyin mentioned the word "immortal", infinite anticipation welled up in her eyes.
Bai Yiyi watched this scene from within Lin Xing's body and said, "These are the lower- and middle-level cultivators who come to work in the forbidden area, right? They work in an environment with a high concentration of immortal energy, and carry the scattered immortal energy away for cultivation above, as well as for use in refining pills, medicines, and equipment."
In particular, wisps of crystal luster gradually began to appear on their bodies, as if they were covered with a layer of wax.
From here on, the immortal energy in the space became more and more dense, and there were many more cultivators who were absorbing the immortal energy.
The end of the Twelve Gates of Heaven.
Bai Yiyi analyzed: "These twelve heavenly gates were probably set up by the ancestors of the Hanhai Sect to protect the later generations of disciples, so that they would not be defeated when approaching the ancient immortal's remains."
Bai Yiyi quickly scanned it and said, "It turns out that there are twelve gates from the Immortal Ruins to the ancient immortal's remains."
A familiar thought came out of it: "Why are you here?"
"Look, this is to create two immortal veins, one leading to the workshop, and one leading to the Taoist palace of Tianhai Zhenxian, with 50% of the immortal energy on each side..."
Although she felt that the other party had stopped, the girl's face was still full of surprise: "Since the establishment of my Hanhai Sect, has anyone ever broken through ten gates in one go for the first time?"
Each of these huge rocks was crystal clear, like precious jade, and a human figure could be vaguely seen inside. Miaoyin introduced: "This is the Immortal Ruins in the forbidden area, and it is the place where the immortals of the Hanhai Sect for generations have been transformed."
The number of cultivators who continued to go deeper to absorb the immortal energy not only decreased, but they also became more cautious. Almost every one of them was covered with layers of halo, and they protected themselves with the power of various magic weapons to avoid contact with the immortal energy.
She chuckled, "As soon as you broke through to the fifth level, you couldn't wait to comprehend the ancient immortal way. You are really devoted to the way... Hmm? You broke through three gates so quickly?"
Lin Xing's bold and deep appearance, standing alone, attracted many people's attention.
At this moment, a man covered in armor stood in front of Lin Xing.
"Tianji is indeed a bit rash and has pushed you too far."
Behind the girl, an old man was standing with his back bowed.
"Although the work deep in the forbidden area is a bit dangerous, the income is also quite good. The daily Dao Gong paid is almost ten times that of the outside world. It is quite profitable to come here a few times a year."
"Just some small tricks cultivated in the lower realm."
Miaoyin sighed, "We are not afraid of danger, but we are afraid of going through danger and gaining nothing, and of working hard but losing everything in the blink of an eye, and never being able to make a breakthrough..."
Finally they came to a huge square and saw more than thirty huge stones standing in the square.
Her expression changed slightly: "Seven Gates... No..."
Just as she was thinking this, her gaze suddenly changed again and she looked up abruptly.
"You have just ascended. There is no need to rush to comprehend the ancient immortal's remains. It is better to take advantage of this opportunity to enter the forbidden area to accumulate some Taoist merit."
"Those old guys in the sect won't give us a chance at all."
But at this moment, the immortal did not show any arrogance, and said respectfully: "Ancestor..."
Among them, life-extending pills were far from being mass-produced like they are now. Each pill was priceless and only the elders of the sect and the most favored disciples could obtain them.
As Miaoyin followed him forward, she found that the concentration of the immortal energy around her was slowly increasing, as if it was adapting to her adaptability, allowing her to gradually adapt to the environment of the immortal ruins without realizing it.
Miaoyin knew that this was a process of adaptation that she had to go through every time she came to the Immortal Ruins. She did not panic at the moment, but calmed her mind, focused on her Original Yuan and tried hard to adapt her soul to this environment.
I also remember that time passed like flowing water. Any gathering within the sect would take months or even years of waiting, and familiar monks would be wasted in the rapidly passing time.
Looking at Lin Xing who was walking slowly in front of her, the girl smiled and said, "Good boy, you had already stopped at the tenth gate, but you are still not satisfied? You insist on forcing your way through the last two gates? Do you really want to see the ancient immortal?"
Lin Xing asked Bai Yiyi in his body, "Master Bai, are you really okay? If not, let's retreat to the tenth gate first."
"Ugh..." Bai Yiyi said with effort: "I...it's not that I couldn't hold on after hiding in your body, it's that you walked too fast and I felt a little dizzy."
Lin Xing said helplessly: "I'm not afraid that you can't hold it, I'm worried that you will really vomit something."
