“Of course, no matter what your identity is, it doesn’t matter. Little Pine friend, do you want to return to the Tian Yuan World?”

“Although tracing back to your Origin, you are not a creature of the Tian Yuan World, because you are tainted with its aura,”

“as long as your cultivation reaches the Void Profound realm and you master stronger spatial power, you still have a chance to cross the boundary wall and return to the Tian Yuan World—”

“However, in these chaotic Void Ruins, it won’t be easy to raise your Soul Transformation cultivation to Void Profound. As for me,”

“I have wandered here for who knows how many years and know this place inside out. With my help, you might be able to reach the Kong Xuan Realm in a short time!”

Divine Pine sneered and said, “I don’t care about my identity either, but shouldn’t you first state your own identity and your purpose?”

The remnant soul sighed, “Just a poor soul who failed Ascension from another Immortal Cultivation World. I could only preserve a wisp of a remnant soul that fell into the void, unable to find the way home or enter other Immortal Cultivation Worlds—”

“Therefore, I need to attach myself to you and enter the Tian Yuan World together. With your identity as a reincarnated Cultivator of the Heavenly Devil Sect, you should be able to smuggle me in as well.”

“I want you to help me reincarnate into this Immortal Cultivation World, so that like you, I can become half a creature of the Tian Yuan World. This is currently my only way out. You should understand that I am only doing this for survival.”

“I can make a Heavenly Dao oath. After you help me, no matter what you do in the Tian Yuan World in the future—whether you want to rule this world or reopen the path to Ascension—I can lend you a hand.”

“In return, if you agree to this deal, you also need to make a Heavenly Dao oath. After I help you find the Opportunity to step into the Void Profound realm, you must fulfill your promise.” The remnant soul’s tone returned to being flat.

“You are of the Yao Race! Not human!” After a moment, Divine Pine suddenly saw through the essence of this remnant soul; it was actually a Yao Beast in human form.

“Interesting. It’s been so many years since the Yao Race appeared in the Tian Yuan World. I wonder how long that pair of master and Disciple from the Beast Taming Sect’s Sect Master lineage has been coveting the method of Yao transformation—”

“Fine, I agree. Speak quickly, how can this old man step into the Void Profound realm in this godforsaken place?”

“Is there hope within ten years?”

Divine Pine asked. If it were to Cultivate on its own, it would be difficult to step into the Void Profound realm without several thousand years.

“By then, it would be too late; the Longevity Physique would be dead—not from old age, but likely harvested by others.”

Having nurtured the Longevity Physique for so long, Divine Pine’s goal was the Longevity Blood promised by Lin Jing once his Longevity Physique reached Major Achievement. It could not tolerate returning to the Tian Yuan Continent only to find that Lin Jing had already been completely consumed by someone else.

As for whether this remnant soul of the Yao Race, who claimed to have failed Ascension, would bring any danger to the Tian Yuan Continent, it didn’t care. A few days later…

Perhaps because Lin Jing’s Illusion Dao talent had been opened by the Golden Bodhi Tree, or perhaps because his Illusion Dao foundation was profound,

he easily mastered the basics of the three major illusion techniques he had received, without any difficulty at all.

Cultivating illusion techniques was even easier than cultivating Buddhist dharma.

In comparison, the Heavenly Demon Body was truly a hard nut to crack.

“Just mastering the basics isn’t enough. Next, I need to continue improving these three major illusion techniques—”

“When the time is right, I will simulate Thousand Illusion True Essence, show stronger strength and Aptitude, and strive for the position of a True Disciple of Thousand Illusion Mountain.”

Inside the Immortal Cave, the cross-legged Lin Jing’s eyes flickered. These three major illusion techniques were not actually his ultimate goal in coming to Thousand Illusion Mountain.

His ultimate goal was one of the secret True Disciple techniques of Thousand Illusion Mountain, the Reverse Illusion Art!

A secret technique that contained the Dao of Reality and Illusion, capable of temporarily transforming illusions into real scenes!

This secret technique could only be learned by becoming a True Disciple. As an inner Disciple, he currently could not access it.

Furthermore, it was said that the Reverse Illusion Art could only be successfully cultivated within a blessed land inside Thousand Illusion Mountain. This Illusionary Blessed Land, like the Divine Beast Hall, was part of Thousand Illusion Mountain’s foundation, accessible only to True Disciple-level Disciples.

As for the other secret True Disciple technique, the Beast Concept, which allowed illusion Cultivators to more perfectly manifest the charm of powerful Yao Beasts, Lin Jing didn’t really need it.

“Is Yellow Universe here?”

Next, just as You Fangli had predicted, within a few days, someone from the Sect indeed came looking for him.

The visitor was a deacon of the Huan Sha Hall, surnamed Zheng.

The purpose of the visit was naturally to have Lin Jing join the Huan Sha Hall.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Lin Jing had no choice but to accept.

According to Lin Jing’s original plan, he had wanted to join the Demon Observation Hall.

Demon Observation Hall Disciples were like “war correspondents”; their missions were basically to secretly film powerful Yao Beasts, offering much higher freedom.

However, this Huan Sha Hall was basically about fighting with Disciples from the Fang Beast Sect, Flower Sect, and other Sects to compete for territory and opportunities, which was a bit too conspicuous.

“Our Huan Sha Hall lacks talent like you. You can Cultivate with peace of mind for now and slowly switch your Cultivation Technique. In the short term,”

“the Huan Sha Hall will not assign you any missions.”

“However, if you want to be promoted to a True Disciple, besides having solid personal strength, merit is also essential. Our Huan Sha Hall is the fastest place to earn merit!”

“Once you’ve switched your Cultivation Technique, come find me again.” Deacon Zheng chuckled and patted Lin Jing’s shoulder.

He was very optimistic about Lin Jing’s potential.

After all, this was an Aptitude recognized even by Elder Qin.

“Yes, Lord Deacon.” Lin Jing had no other choice. However, after joining the Huan Sha Hall, Lin Jing had a much quieter time. The Huan Sha Hall must have reached an agreement with the other halls before coming to recruit him.

This was likely the reason why Senior Brother You told him to agree immediately to whoever came to recruit him first.

With no more interruptions, Lin Jing began to Cultivate cautiously in Thousand Illusion Mountain. The core gate of Thousand Illusion Mountain was hidden within an illusion array, which also had a certain degree of obscuring heavenly secrets, making it a very good hiding place. This was also one of the main reasons why Lin Jing chose Thousand Illusion Mountain as a temporary foothold.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

Although he was on edge every day, fortunately, no accidents occurred.

Over the course of a year, Lin Jing devoted all his energy to the cultivation of the Illusion Dao. He had become incomparably proficient in the Soul Endowment Technique, Divine Law, and Layered Illusion Art.

Regarding the simulation of illusions, he had also made a huge Breakthrough in quantity. When he first entered Thousand Illusion Mountain, while maintaining his own transformation, he could at most manifest one more illusion of a powerful Yao Beast.

But now, after intensive training, manifesting ten illusions of Yao Kings simultaneously was no problem at all.

It could be said that these Yao King illusions, combined with the Divine Law that could cause spiritual damage, could even trick Golden Core Stage Cultivators if they weren’t careful and failed to see through the illusions, resulting in spiritual trauma.

However, such a fighting style was ultimately unstable. Before obtaining the Reverse Illusion Art, which could “turn illusion into reality,” it was still difficult for Lin Jing to engage in direct and intense confrontation with the Golden Core Stage based solely on his Illusion Dao attainments; he could only rely on the element of surprise.

“It’s time to consider the matter of promotion to True Disciple.” Lin Jing, now wearing the yellow Disciple robes of Thousand Illusion Mountain, spoke slowly as he walked out of his Immortal Cave and flew toward the Huan Sha Hall.

The improvement in his Illusion Dao attainments also meant he could better hide himself from being seen through by the experts of Thousand Illusion Mountain. In that case, he could now advance his mission in Thousand Illusion Mountain.
