Chapter 761: 756

Just as the entire Shadow Realm was busy and rapidly rebuilding.

In the void outside the Shadow Realm.

Two bright white figures in Taoist Robes shot through the air and descended swiftly towards the Shadow Realm.

"Is this the Land for God Worship of the Red Leaf Taoist?"

One of the Taoists asked directly through a Jade Talisman transmission.

Lin Xin looked up and saw that both of the figures had the cultivation of Human Immortals, but there seemed to be an extremely intense fluctuation about them that did not seem dangerous in nature.

Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the hems of their Taoist Robes bore a ring of fine golden serrations, a symbol of one of the six parts of the Jiuqu Domain.

Both Taoists were hovering mid-air, not landing directly, as a sign of courtesy.

"Which brothers may you be?"

Lin Xin hovered into the air to meet them.

Both Taoists had the appearance of stern middle-aged men. Seeing Lin Xin hover,

"Please verify the serial number on the Jade Talisman."

Lin Xin quickly presented his serial number.

"This is an urgent war reconstruction Talisman, which can help you quickly rebuild everything you’ve lost," said one of them, carefully drawing a small purple box from his sleeve.

"Reconstruction Talisman?"

Lin Xin was instantly surprised.

The function of the Jiuqu Domain tended to be more logistical and involved in breeding; shouldn’t the task of reconstruction be handled by the Smithing Hall?

"The Head of the Smithing Hall was ambushed, and with two Heavenly Demon Army Masters visiting in person, he is spread too thin to assist. We have to distribute these in his stead for the time being," the other Taoist explained briefly.

"Thank you!"

Lin Xin accepted the box, and since the numbers matched, it should indeed be genuine.

The two Taoists wasted no further words, bid farewell, turned, and disappeared into the void in just a few moments.

Lin Xin signaled for all the Taoist soldiers to halt their actions and gently opened the box in his hand.

Click!

In an instant, an invisible clear light emanated from the box—a colorless light spreading down like misty gauze, drifting and covering the entire Shadow Realm.

Rumbling sounds continued to erupt as each of the destroyed Taoist buildings rose from the ground as if time were flowing backward.

All of the fragments came together, coalesced, and returned to their original, identical shapes.

The formation patterns of the various Formations also started to heal and recover, slowly lighting up and circulating with Spiritual Light.

The numerous layered Formations above the Shadow Realm slowly grew back as well, gradually closing off the aperture of the entire Shadow Realm and protecting the space within.

Gardens and demolished Wooden Soldiers, too, slowly emerged and grew back.

Disciples watched slack-jawed as the mangled Wooden Soldiers near them slowly healed their wounds, stood up from the ground, and re-rooted themselves, restoring their robust dark green foliage.

Wei Qing and others’ injuries also quickly healed, and aside from the exhaustion of their Cultivation, everything else seemed as if nothing had ever happened.

Lin Xin watched from high above as everything below returned to normal.

He also inwardly marveled at the Talisman—it was certainly the work of a Heavenly Venerable.

This was accomplished by harnessing the Star Force that illuminated the Myriad Realms, reshaping the original form of objects, allowing them to regain their Elemental Energy in a short time.

However, the expense of restoring so many Lands for God Worship at once was terrifying.

"Indeed, above the Sixth Rank, the more one accumulates, the stronger one becomes....!" he reflected.

By this time, the numerous Formations above had also been fully restored.

Only then did he have the time to examine the Earthfire Nine Spirit Beads in his hands closely.

The Spiritual Pearl had turned blood red, with a dark golden flame burning inside. Around the firelight, faint wisps of white light swirled.

With another flip of his hand, two more beads emerged. They were the Righteous Soul Pearl and the Evil Soul Orb—the latter of which Lin Xin had found in the remnants of the Evil God.

Upon closer inspection, it was actually a Realm Artifact!

And it was of the same level as the Earthfire Nine Spirit Beads!

"Truly... the gift from the Red Leaf Sword Master is extraordinary!" Lin Xin realized just then that the gift Red Leaf had given him was overwhelmingly generous!

A Realm Artifact, a coveted top-tier treasure desired by all in the Earth Immortal Realm, had been given to him by Red Leaf in such a casual manner.

Gripping the Evil Soul Orb tightly, Lin Xin felt a surge of turbulent emotions.

The Righteous Soul Pearl, on the other hand, was an unremarkable concentration of divine souls and did not count as a Realm Artifact. Rather, it was Zhao Ke’s sacrifice in the name of righteousness that had once valiantly saved Lin Xin.

The events of that day remained fresh in his memory.

"To think I have obtained another Realm Artifact." He took the Evil Soul Orb into his Soul Body, preparing to refine it thoroughly.

As expected, his prior refinement was only superficial, and the real parts within were still tightly sealed without the slightest erosion.

Now, with a thorough refinement, he estimated that he could clearly discern the true details within the Evil Soul Orb.

"And the other one, I remember a Heavenly Venerable mentioning that the Earthfire Nine Spirit Beads is an Abyssal Realm Artifact?"

Lin Xin had heard of this term before; the Green Lake Mountain Canon covered almost everything; it was rare for it not to contain certain information.

"Abyssal Realm Artifact—I remember that to date, there have been only four or so discovered. Each carries a terrifying power capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, sought after by all," he recalled.

"But the Earthfire Nine Spirit Beads were genuinely ordinary Realm Artifacts before, nurtured within the Dragon Serpent Realm.

Their transformation into Abyssal Realm Artifacts must be related to the enhancement of my Attributes and the absorption of the world’s origin."

Lin Xin speculated in his heart.

But he dared not be certain it was so.

"If that’s true, and if I can transform the second Evil Soul Orb in the same way, it would prove that I really can create an Abyssal Realm Artifact!"

Lin Xin made a plan in his mind.

"However, since a person can only fuse with one Realm Artifact, I wonder if the Evil Soul Orb can be refined successfully..."

Having cultivated to such a realm, advancing further seemed within reach.

Earth Immortals are considered powerful beings in the Myriad Realms. Above them, there are only the two great realms of Heavenly Immortals and Taoist Ancestors.

Lin Xin held the Earthfire Nine Spirit Beads in his hand with an unusually calm heart, not knowing why.

His long period of cultivation had perhaps rendered him somewhat numb.

He faintly understood why those Heavenly Venerables all seemed cold and lofty.

It wasn’t that they were devoid of feelings, but rather they’d seen too much, experienced too much, and nothing could easily stir their emotions anymore.

"After I finish absorbing the world’s origin source, I’ll go find my sister..."

Lin Xin suddenly missed Lin Yaoyang.

Xiao Lingling, An Ying, it seemed for a moment they all merged with Lin Yaoyang.

Recalling the dream he had one day for no apparent reason, he had yet to find the reincarnations of Xiao Lingling and An Ying.

The more Lin Xin thought about it, the more he believed that Lin Yaoyang was the reincarnation of their souls.

"Well-prepared tools are prerequisite to the successful execution of a job. Once I’ve absorbed the origin source of the second minor world, I’ll go find her. The Demon God King, Song Danhao, is in a deep slumber, and there is no time to lose now."

With the Abyssal Realm Artifact on hand, capable of repelling powerful Heavenly Venerables, Lin Xin felt confident.

Heavenly Venerables, across the countless worlds of Green Lake Mountain, there are only twenty-one.

All known Heavenly Venerables, when all their forces are combined, do not exceed three figures.

These are the pinnacle beings nurtured by countless worlds, each connected to numerous extraordinary creatures.

Having the Abyssal Realm Artifact gave him a trump card.

Being able to approach, even stand shoulder to shoulder with such beings, Lin Xin understood at this moment that he had the means to make his stand in this void universe.

He finally looked up, peering out through the Formation.

He saw countless dark Void Demon Spirits swarming toward the Nether Realm like a black tide.

The Nether Realm had been exposed, finally drawing the massive armies of Heavenly Demon Army Masters.

Pop pop pop...

Countless Demon Spirits hit the outer layers of the Formation, instantly repelled by the core-powered grand Formation and exploded into fireballs.

Thousands of specks of light lit up outside the Protective Shield Formation. For a moment, they illuminated the entire Nether Realm with countless fireworks like faint red stars.

The people below, busy checking the situation, also looked up, watching the pale red fireworks fill the sky, feeling an indescribable sense of poignancy.

’I take the sky as my tomb... I take the tomb as my home... Oh, the pain... the sorrow... Who can hear the eternal wailing...’

A soft song, filled with lament and complaint, spread from the depths of the void.

It was as if a female singer, with tears in her eyes, danced slowly, singing for the spirits of warriors fallen in battle.

"It’s the Heavenly Demon Army Master again..."

Lin Xin stared at the Void Demon Spirits going mad in the song, among them large groups of elephant-headed and dragon-headed beings. These intelligent Demon Spirits were also recklessly fighting to the death.

"Kill!"

He waved his hand lightly.

The repaired Beam Towers below shot up into the sky, furiously eliminating the countless Demon Spirits.

Some still intact Taoist weapons also took to the air, joining with the giant branches of the treefolk to fly out of the Formation and fight against the Demon Spirits.

Lin Xin no longer watched but turned and flew toward the Gate of Mysteries.

There were many disciples here, so there shouldn’t be a problem.

But the major calamity was upon them, and he must hasten his steps. Otherwise, he wasn’t sure how much longer his foolish sister could hold on.

********************

Void Spirit defense line.

Inside Command Tower Nine.

All the regional representatives of the six divisions had arrived.

There were also several of the strongest Earth Immortals from the Land for God Worship in the area.

Dozens of people sat around a giant black round table made of jade stone.

Chen Zhao, the regional head of the Golden Crown of Winter, stood with his hands behind his back, looking at a piece of projected light and shadow floating above the table.

The display showed the wartime situation for the entire area.

The originally green halo map now had three giant red bands of light.

"The three avatars of the Heavenly Venerables from Shadow City caused significant damage in a short time. These three traces are the areas they passed through and destroyed casually. Although we have now distributed Returning Light Talismans from the main temple to supplement some of our strength,

it has still resulted in at least tens of millions of points in severe losses! There are not a few Realm Masters who have fallen in battle!"

Chen Zhao spoke seriously, explaining the situation to the representatives.

"Fortunately, the three avatars of the Heavenly Venerables from Shadow City were dealt with by the Senior Jiuqu who hurried back, Senior Dragon Serpent, and Senior Ganjiao.

Otherwise, in our area, where the highest war strength is only Sixth Rank, those three Heavenly Venerables would have wreaked havoc. If they had broken through the Void Spirit defense line, it would definitely have affected the overall war situation.

Brother Huang, how much war power of the Golden Crown of Winter can we still mobilize?"
