Chapter 130 Preparations for Opening the Second Sea of Consciousness
After giving the aura of war and slaughter to Hongfen, Lin Yue originally planned to choose another battlefield and collect the aura of war and slaughter for another year or two before heading to the Chaotic Star Sea.
Unexpectedly, Han Li was summoned by Li Huayuan from Jingu Plain to guard the Qin family in Yuejing.
This was also for Han Li's safety, and at the same time, it could better protect the Qin family, who were related to Li Huayuan.
Han Li had no choice but to return the War Gourd to Lin Yue and head to Yuejing to help Li Huayuan guard and take care of the Qin family.
Lin Yue was not angry about this matter, and continued to collect the killing energy of war in Jingu Plain with the War Gourd.
The time agreed upon with the wife of the Ghost Spirit Sect Master was repeatedly postponed, but Lin Yue knew that the delay would not last much longer.
After all, he was about to leave the Tiannan cultivation world for the Chaotic Star Sea, and there was also Wang Chan; he couldn't continue to have someone serve him.
It's time to send this old man away, and the ransom should be in our hands.
A person should be trustworthy!
So, after another year, having collected enough of the killing energy from war, and with the Buddhist statues and paintings containing the wishes of all living beings that he had collected over the years, Lin Yue decided to try to open up a second sea of consciousness.
This was an unprecedented event for the entire cultivation world. Even the later second Nascent Soul cultivators were far inferior to the second sea of consciousness opened by the "Panwu Great Strength Divine Power".
Lin Yue did not choose to open his sea of consciousness in the cave in the Taiyue Mountains of Huangfeng Valley.
Because he knew that the phenomena that would occur when the second sea of consciousness was opened were far superior to those that occurred when the golden elixir was condensed.
So, after much thought!
Lin Yue chose Xuanhuang Mountain in the Poison Cloud Mountains of Yuanwu Kingdom.
Therefore, he specially invited Xin Ruyin from the cave to help set up an array to conceal the strange phenomenon as much as possible.
Xin Ruyin naturally had no objection to this. After giving instructions and making arrangements for the three Mo Yuzhu sisters in the cave, she quietly left the Taiyue Mountains and headed straight for the Poison Cloud Mountains of Yuanwu Kingdom.
Inside the Flying Cloud Pavilion of the Yan Family Fortress, a voice asked, "Senior Brother Shattered Soul, what is this person doing? It's been so long, and he still hasn't kept his promise? Could it be that something has happened to Chan'er?"
The Ghost Spirit Sect Master's wife frowned, her beautiful face ashen, yet her eyes revealed worry as she spoke.
The person she was questioning was none other than the Soul Shattering True Man, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from the Ghost Spirit Sect, an old man dressed in a black robe with a cold and sinister face.
Who would have thought that a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from the Ghost Spirit Sect would appear at Yan Family Fortress together with the Ghost Spirit Sect Master's wife?
"Junior sister, don't worry. The young sect leader's primordial spirit lamp is unharmed, so there's obviously nothing wrong with him. However, I tried to track down the young sect leader using the sect's secret techniques, but there was no response. Clearly, that fellow Daoist Panwu has placed the young sect leader in a forbidden area."
The Soul Shatterer remained expressionless, speaking calmly and casually.
It seems that they don't care too much about the safety of Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect.
"However, the sect has never heard anything about this person's background. Not knowing his origins, and with Chan'er still in his hands, it really worries me."
The Ghost Spirit Sect Master's wife's face grew increasingly grim.
"There's no use in rushing this matter. We can only wait for them to bring their young sect leader before we can proceed to the next step. However, no one knows the extent of this person's strength or cultivation level, so killing him will probably not be easy."
The Soul Shatterer narrowed his eyes and spoke in a chilling tone.
"Don't worry, senior brother. With our combined efforts, along with the demonic treasure my husband gave me and the ancient killing formation we set up in advance, even if he really is a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, he will surely die."
The Ghost Spirit Sect Master's wife's beautiful face showed a hint of anger and resentment as she spoke coldly.
There was no emotion in her voice, which shows just how much she hated Lin Yue.
"I hope so! But I always feel it won't be that easy."
Seeing this, True Immortal Shattered Souls didn't say anything more.
After all, his entry into the Yue Kingdom this time was already a violation of the agreement with the Seven Sects, but in order to safely rescue Wang Chan, the young sect leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect.
At the same time, eliminating Lin Yue, this major threat, was also a necessary step.
In the Xuanhuang Mountain of the Poison Cloud Mountains in the Yuanwu Kingdom, swirling clouds of gray, war-torn aura emanated from the area. Countless auras, seemingly from the battlefield, were being transmitted, conveying the despair, pain, and excitement of millions of people. This emotion was enough to shatter the consciousness of most cultivators.
Lin Yue was condensing them into war relics in his sea of consciousness according to the method in "Panwu Great Strength Divine Power".
According to the "Panwu Great Strength Divine Power", one needs 108 war relics to open up the second sea of consciousness.
Among them, there are 36 large war-related gourds and 72 small ones, which correspond to the number of the 36 Heavenly Spirits and 72 Earthly Fiends. However, as the war-related energy in each gourd is completely absorbed, the war-related energy in the gourds is gradually depleted.
Lin Yue discovered that the war-related aura he had collected over several years was far from sufficient.
He only condensed thirty-six small war-making elements in his sea of consciousness, which meant that the opening of the second sea of consciousness was already over before it even began.
Although he had anticipated and prepared for it, Lin Yue still felt a headache when it actually happened.
Fortunately, Han Li had already completed the task assigned by Li Huayuan and returned to the battlefield to recollect the killing energy of war with Zhang Tie.
The battlefield is currently in a stalemate, with small skirmishes every day and large skirmishes every three days, and there is no shortage of the atmosphere of war and bloodshed.
Therefore, as long as one has enough patience, it is not difficult to collect enough war and killing energy.
Even if the Seven Factions are defeated and the Yue Kingdom falls, there are other countries, and at worst, there is the Mulan clan, which is about to invade the Nine Kingdoms Alliance.
In short, the atmosphere of war and slaughter will certainly not be lacking; it just needs to be collected by people.
Moreover, although they failed, they did not gain nothing.
On the contrary, despite the emotional turmoil, Lin Yue successfully cultivated the Great Evolution Technique, and his spiritual sense increased significantly once again.
At the same time, his understanding and comprehension of the Great Dao of "Panwu Mighty Divine Power" have taken another step forward, and his strength has improved considerably.
This is extremely important for what he needs to do right now.
After condensing all the killing intent of war into a war relic, Lin Yue emerged from seclusion.
"My lord, did it succeed?"
As soon as Xin Ruyin saw Lin Yue, she asked him a question.
But I already had a guess in my mind, I just needed to confirm it.
"No, but it's not a failure either. It's just that the amount of war and killing energy we've collected is far from enough. We need to collect more."
Lin Yue shook his head and sighed softly, without hiding anything.
"Would you like my assistance?"
Seeing the disappointment on Lin Yue's face, Xin Ruyin hesitated for a moment, then parted her lips slightly to ask.
"No need, just leave this to your two junior brothers."
Lin Yue shook his head and refused.
"Alright, I will go to the Chaotic Star Sea in a while to seek opportunities and improve my cultivation level. The rest is up to you."
"But before that, I have to go to Yan Family Fortress to complete the deal with the Ghost Spirit Sect Master's wife. I hope I won't disappoint him."
Lin Yue narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke in a chilling tone.
"Alright, then my husband, please be very careful."
After hearing Lin Yue's words, Xin Ruyin was worried, but she did not stop Zhen from nodding slightly and reminding him.
"That's natural, Ruyin, don't worry."
Lin Yue chuckled and agreed.
The place where Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, was located was none other than the Yue Kingdom's capital: the Yuejing Imperial Palace.
That is, the place where the original leader of the Black Fiend Cult was located.
"Young Master Wang Chan, it's been a long time."
Upon entering the palace's underground chamber, Lin Yue looked at Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, who was sealed off from everything, and said with a smile.
Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, looked extremely haggard, his face pale and bloodless, and his aura was weak, as if he had no strength at all.
However, the look in her eyes as she gazed at Lin Yue was filled with undisguised resentment and malice.
Clearly, he harbored extreme resentment towards Lin Yue.
After all, he had been in this dark and sunless basement for more than two years. If he hadn't been a Foundation Establishment cultivator who could abstain from grains, he probably would have starved to death long ago.
Even so, Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, was extremely weak.
Naturally, Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, harbored extreme resentment towards Lin Yue, but unfortunately, he was powerless to do anything about it.
"Hehe! Young Master, don't be angry. You'll be able to go back soon."
Looking at Wang Chan, who was extremely weak and showed no intention of replying, Lin Yue's smile remained unchanged.
"However, Young Master had better hope that nothing unexpected happens, otherwise, hehe!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Chan, the young sect leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect, who was already weak, felt a pang of anxiety and fear.
He was well aware of his parents' character, especially his father, the leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect, who hated being threatened by others because of his cultivation method.
Lin Yue's actions were undoubtedly a threat.
In fact, if Lin Yue hadn't taken so long, the Ghost Spirit Sect Master wouldn't have known that Wang Chan had been captured.
Now that they definitely know, they must have prepared everything to try and kill Lin Yue.
If Lin Yue is killed, his fate will probably not be much better.
Upon thinking of this, Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, was filled with worry, but he was powerless to stop anything and could only let nature take its course and leave it to fate.
Meanwhile, Lin Yue, seeing that Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, had no intention of speaking, stopped wasting words and simply waved his sleeve to take him away from the basement, past the Imperial Palace of Yuejing, and then headed straight for Yan Family Fortress.
Two days later, Lin Yue, along with Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, successfully arrived at a mountain peak a hundred miles away from Yan Family Fortress. They did not enter the mountain, but instead took out a communication talisman to inform the Ghost Spirit Sect Master's wife.
Upon receiving Lin Yue's message, the Ghost Spirit Sect Master's wife's expression changed slightly. She turned her head slightly to look at the Ghost Spirit Sect's Soul Shattering True Person who was resting with his eyes closed, and spoke in a much gentler tone.
"Senior Brother Shattered Soul, he is currently a hundred miles away from Yan Family Fortress. Why would he send me alone to see him? Does he already know that you are also in Yan Family Fortress?"
"Then I will secretly follow you and see who this Fellow Daoist Panwu is. I have never heard of him before, and when I asked many friends in the Nine Kingdoms Alliance and the Righteous Path Alliance, none of them knew of him."
Upon hearing this, True Immortal Shattered Soul opened his eyes, a look of curiosity and doubt appearing in them, and spoke.
"Alright, then I'll leave it to Senior Brother Shattered Soul."
Hearing this, the Ghost Spirit Sect Master's wife finally felt a little relieved.
She felt increasingly uneasy about Lin Yue, this unknown Nascent Soul cultivator whose origins were unknown and who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. She felt that provoking him was not a good thing.
But since things have come to this, thinking about it too much is useless.
"Um!"
Shattered Soul Master nodded and said calmly.
Subsequently, the wife of the Ghost Spirit Sect Master left Yan Family Fort and headed to the place Lin Yue had mentioned.
As for the Soul Shattering Master, he naturally used his concealment technique to follow closely behind.
At the same time, Lin Yue and Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, were on the same mountain peak, just like last time, waiting for the arrival of the Ghost Spirit Sect's mistress.
"Young Sect Master, don't worry, you'll be back soon. As long as your mother and the cultivators of your sect don't resort to any underhanded tactics."
Lin Yue glanced at Wang Chan, whose face was filled with worry, anticipation, and anxiety, and chuckled to comfort her, as he wasn't in a very good mood.
"What is your background, senior?"
Only now did Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, speak to Lin Yue.
"It's best not to inquire about this young sect leader. The more you know, the faster you'll die."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yue warned in a slightly cold tone.
Upon hearing this, Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, whose face was already pale and weak to the point of being transparent, became gloomy and uncertain, his eyes filled with resentment and venom.
However, facing a mysterious Nascent Soul cultivator, he dared not reveal the slightest secret, and could only hope that his mother and the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Ghost Spirit Sect would join forces to kill Lin Yue and extract his soul.
As soon as the words were spoken, a beautiful figure with a thousand charms appeared a hundred feet away from the mountain where the two were, accompanied by inappropriate demonic energy.
"I didn't expect Madam to arrive so quickly. I was truly worried about Young Master Wang Chan!"
Seeing this, Lin Yue smiled and said.
"These are the materials and medicinal herbs that you need, fellow Daoist. I have brought them all. Shouldn't you release Chan'er now?"
Upon hearing this, the Ghost Spirit Sect Master's wife took out a bulging storage bag from her slender waist and handed it to Lin Yue, her voice cold and clear.
"No rush, Madam, don't be anxious. Fellow Daoist Shattered Soul of the Ghost Spirit Sect, shouldn't you come out and meet him?"
Seeing this, Lin Yue's smile grew even wider, but his gaze shifted from the Ghost Spirit Sect Master's wife to a patch of empty space more than ten feet away.
Upon hearing this, the Ghost Spirit Sect Master's wife's expression changed slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
She knew all about the Soul Shattering True Person's concealment techniques; even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would find it extremely difficult to detect.
Now, Lin Yue has seen through it all with a single sentence, and it's clear that Lin Yue wasn't testing him, but rather genuinely discovered the existence of the Soul Shatterer.
This does not mean that Lin Yue is already a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, but rather that he must possess perception abilities that are no less than those of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
This will have a significant impact on their subsequent plans.
It's even impossible to succeed—
Therefore, it would be virtually impossible to kill Lin Yue again.
