"Xu Shilin! Where do you think you're going! You'd better obediently accept your death!"
In the blink of an eye, Yun Teng had closed the gap to a few more points.
Xu Shilin inwardly cried out in alarm and continued to flee forward in silence.
However, he didn't get very far before he was caught up with and blocked in front of a mountain.
The escape technique he used was a direct descendant of the Jie Sect, and it was originally very exquisite. However, his own cultivation level was very low, so even with its exquisite aspects, he could not use it.
Seeing Yun Teng lunge forward without a word, Xu Shilin had no choice but to draw his sword and deflect the attack aside.
The two instantly engaged in combat.
With a series of clanging sounds, Xu Shilin, caught off guard, had his longsword knocked from his hand by Yun Teng.
Yun Teng swung his spear, piercing directly into his chest and through his heart.
As soon as the spear was drawn, Xu Shilin fell to the ground.
Yun Teng stepped forward to check and found that Xu Shilin was indeed dead. He sneered and immediately flew away back to Xianxia Pass.
After Yun Teng left, Xu Shilin's body lay alone on the ground, blood flowing everywhere.
The next moment, a lucky cloud suddenly descended from the sky and landed beside Xu Shilin.
A woman descended from the clouds; she was none other than the Golden Spirit Mother of the Jie Sect.
"Alas! My junior brother has truly suffered. However, our master once foresaw that he would face three death calamities in this massacre. His death here this time can be considered as fulfilling the will of Heaven..."
As she spoke, she bent down to examine it for a moment, then took out a yellow gourd from her sleeve, poured out a golden pill, and stuffed it directly into Xu Shilin's mouth.
The golden elixir melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and Xu Shilin was immediately enveloped in a pure light. His shattered heart was restored to its original state, and the flesh and blood on his wounds rapidly grew and healed.
After his wounds healed, Xu Shilin suddenly groaned and woke up.
"Alas! I am going to die!"
Then, he opened his eyes, his gaze somewhat unfocused. But when he saw the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit, his eyes immediately cleared, and he quickly got up from the ground.
"Thank you so much, senior sister, for saving my life."
Xu Shilin stepped forward, bowed, and greeted him.
Golden Spirit Mother smiled and helped Xu Shilin up, saying heartily, "Hahaha... We are all fellow disciples, junior brother, you are too kind. Besides, I am here on the orders of our teacher."
Upon hearing this, Xu Shilin bowed again in the direction of Jin'ao Island.
After standing up, he bowed to the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit and said, "Senior Sister, I am now under the command of the King of Qin to lead a large army to attack the King of Liang. After arriving at Xianxia Pass, I encountered a garrison general named Yun Teng."
Unexpectedly, he was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also a Taoist practitioner.
My junior brother's cultivation was too low; he was no match for him at all. He was chased here and killed with a single spear thrust..."
As he said this, a sense of lingering fear welled up in his heart.
"...I have long heard of your great abilities, Senior Sister. I beg you to lend me a hand and help me subdue this person."
"Hahaha... Don't worry, junior brother, I'll handle that guy!"
The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit patted Xu Shilin on the shoulder and continued, "However, before that, you should come with me for a trip to the outer heavens."
Xu Shilin asked in surprise, "Could it be that you're going to Yu Yutian to pay respects to your teacher?"
"Hasn't he already moved back to Jin'ao Island in the East China Sea?"
"It's not to pay respects to the teacher," said the Golden Spirit Mother, shaking her head and smiling.
Xu Shilin asked, "Which sage are you visiting?"
"You'll see when you come with me."
With a smile, the Holy Mother Jinling summoned another auspicious cloud and led Xu Shilin up.
The next instant, auspicious clouds rose into the sky, transforming into a streak of light that flew towards the heavens.
Before long, they passed through the primordial starry sky beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens and arrived at Chaos. The Golden Spirit Mother raised the Spirit Treasure Four Symbols Pagoda to protect her and Xu Shilin as they walked into the depths of Chaos.
After traveling for an unknown amount of time, a glimmer of color suddenly appeared ahead. Xu Shilin looked around and saw a world shrouded in celestial light appear at the edge of his vision.
The two soon arrived at this world.
"Senior sister, where is this place?" Xu Shilin asked.
"This is Fuli Heaven, the sacred site of Taoist saints," the Golden Spirit Mother explained to Xu Shilin with a smile.
"So this is the Daoist temple of the Sage Xuanxiang. Senior Sister, are you here to introduce me to this sect leader?"
"Indeed, I am here on my teacher's orders to bring you here to meet Master Xuanxiang. When you arrive before him, do not be impolite."
As she gave him instructions, the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit led him into the Floating Heaven.
Soon after, the two arrived in front of the Heavenly Dao Palace.
The Red Jade Boy was already waiting outside. After exchanging greetings with the Golden Spirit Mother and Xu Shilin, he led them into the palace.
Upon arriving at the main hall, Xu Shilin saw a cloud platform standing inside.
A young Taoist priest sat cross-legged on the cloud platform. He wore a purple Taoist robe, had his hair tied up with a golden crown, had a fair complexion, empty eyes, and was surrounded by Taoist energy.
Xu Shilin only glanced at her, memorized her appearance, and dared not look at her any longer. He quickly lowered his head and followed the Golden Spirit Mother to the bottom of the cloud platform, where they knelt down together.
After kowtowing, the Holy Mother Jinling respectfully said, "Disciple Jinling greets her senior master."
Xu Shilin did the same, bowing three times.
"You need not stand on ceremony, rise."
A cold voice rang in their ears.
They then got up from the ground.
Hu Le glanced at Xu Shilin and shook his head slightly. This person destined to be a god was indeed lacking in cultivation! He was far inferior to Jiang Shang in the past.
His later misfortunes were not solely due to the unfolding of his destiny...
He looked at the Golden Spirit Mother and asked, "Is Fellow Daoist Tongtian still well?"
"Thank you for your inquiry, Master. My teacher is currently in good health," replied the Holy Mother Jinling.
"Very good! What brings you here today with Xu Shilin?" Hu Le asked again.
The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit replied, "This disciple brought my junior brother here for two reasons: first, to have him pay his respects to our senior master; and second, to come on my master's orders to pray for a karmic connection for him."
"Fate?"
"Indeed, my junior brother is destined to be a god. In the future, he will lead a large army to conquer all directions, which will inevitably bring many calamities. He entered the sect very late and his cultivation is somewhat insufficient. I'm afraid he will have a hard time getting through those calamities."
Therefore, she wanted to borrow one or two spiritual treasures from her senior brother for protection. "Golden Spirit Mother explained her true purpose.
When Xu Shilin heard the Golden Spirit Mother say that his cultivation was low, he felt a little embarrassed and lowered his head, not daring to argue.
"Hehe... So you've come here to seek spiritual treasures. Your Jie Sect is a large and powerful family, and Fellow Daoist Tongtian even possesses supreme treasures. Why have you come to me for help?" Hu Le laughed.
Upon hearing Hu Le mention this, Jinling Shengmu's expression darkened.
The Tongtian Sect Leader did indeed possess many innate spiritual treasures, but he had already bestowed them upon his disciples.
In the past, the innate spiritual treasures possessed by the disciples of the Jie Sect were largely responsible for the sect's great reputation in the prehistoric world.
Unfortunately, during the later Investiture of the Gods battle, the Jie Sect was scattered, and most of its disciples took their spiritual treasures and converted to Buddhism, ultimately benefiting Buddhism in vain...
