Chapter 560: Chapter 423: Infusion and Interception of Celestial Energy

Kunlun Mountain, as a vital channel that connected two realms and activated spiritual mechanisms, was constantly flooded with intense spiritual energy flowing into the Mirror World.

Amidst this intense spiritual energy, there was a mixture of evil energies and immortal energies which, while shaping a sacred cultivation ground, also made the interior of Kunlun exceedingly dangerous.

Six years ago, Lin Xing sought a breakthrough to a higher realm and had endured the relentless assault of evil energies here, completing his consciousness reorganization on the Moon before he could suppress the negative effects brought by the evil energies.

At this moment, the environment within Kunlun should have undergone earth-shattering changes after six years of tumultuous spiritual energy, becoming more perilous and more bizarre, increasingly unsuitable for human habitation.

However, Lin Xing sensed that the interior of Kunlun now seemed even safer than outside in Moon Kill Country.

Bai Yiyi said perplexedly, "Lin Xing, on our way here from east to west, as we approached closer to the west, closer to where Kunlun is, the spiritual energy and evil energy grew denser."

"How come inside Kunlun, the situation has changed instead? Tian Jizi even arranged for so many people from Moon Kill Country to move in?"

Lin Xing was also curious; he sat cross-legged in a stone chamber, breathing in and out the spiritual energy while sensing the various changes in spiritual energy, evil energy, and immortal energy in the environment.

He soon discovered the unusual reason.

In Lin Xing’s senses, the surging spiritual energy mixed with evil energy and immortal energy was quickly churning deep beneath the mountain under his feet and traveling along the ley lines toward the distant horizon.

"Kunlun is channeling the spiritual energy, diverting all those things from the Immortal Court elsewhere..."

At this moment, Lin Xing felt as if he were standing above a pipeline that originally could have overwhelmed this place with spiritual energy but was now diverting it elsewhere, while his position intercepted a part of the flowing spiritual energy.

"You’ve noticed it, haven’t you? This is the work of the Ming Mountain Sect. They can control the discharge of spiritual energy in Kunlun without having to reach this place."

Lin Xing turned his head to look at the Immortal Palace Leader, Bai Hai Liu.

Feeling the coldness in Lin Xing’s gaze, Bai Hai Liu just grinned and then said, "Do you know that recently the Tian Xuzi of the Immortal Court has issued a new decree, and they will continue to expand the scale of spiritual energy transmission to the lower realm?"

"If left uncontrolled, soon both this world and the Mirror World will turn into dead zones where no living being can survive."

"Ming Mountain Sect’s plan is to prioritize discharging the spiritual energy mixed with evil energy into this world first, and to transform Ming Mountain into the only pure land in the impending apocalypse."

"In three months, their plan will officially commence, and a massive amount of evil energy mixed with spiritual energy will be released into various places of this world."

"The Taihe Sect has decided to join in, and they’ve also contacted us, willing to reserve a spot for us within Ming Mountain."

"So the current environment of Kunlun, consider it a perk of the cooperation."

Listening to Bai Hai Liu’s words, Lin Xing frowned and said, "Cooperation? Do you agree with Ming Mountain Sect’s plan?"

Bai Hai Liu looked at Lin Xing and responded indifferently, "Why not agree? What Xingxiao and I intend to do, has no conflict with the plan devised by Ming Mountain Sect."

"If we fail, Ming Mountain Sect will at least have left a lifeline for these two worlds."

"Their actions not only won’t affect our pursuit of ascension but might even improve our cultivation environment..."

Saying this, an inscrutable smile appeared on the aged face of Bai Hai Liu: "If we fail, then those living in this world in the future will ultimately become nothing but dogs of the Immortal Court anyway—does it matter who they are?"

"Do you think it’s important whether the people ruling in desperate survival after the apocalypse are from this world or the Mirror World, or whether they are pleasing to the eye or not?"

Lin Xing responded indifferently, "Isn’t that enough?"

Bai Hai Liu was slightly startled, then burst into hearty laughter, "Well said, if the powerful have enough strength, they should blast everything displeasing to smithereens."

"But you only have three months."

"To build up enough power to shatter the Ming Mountain Sect, which currently controls Kunlun, within three months... Lin Xing, I am truly looking forward to seeing what interesting things you will do to achieve this."

As he spoke, Bai Hai Liu placed a stack of documents on the table in front of Lin Xing.

"This is information about the Complete Heaven Star Battle Formation; you might be interested to take a look, or not—it doesn’t matter."

"Regardless of whether you are involved or not, we will still proceed with some plans."

After leaving the documents, Bai Hai Liu had already disappeared in the blink of an eye, while Lin Xing glanced at the books on the ground but did not bother to flip through them.

To him at the moment, the priorities were naturally the expulsion of the immortal energy and the repair of the White Bone God Slaying Saber.

Lin Xing silently operated his spiritual thoughts, continuing to breathe in the spiritual energy, as rolling immortal energy emerged from deep within the earth’s veins of the mountain and poured into his sea of consciousness.

As the immortal energy filled his sea of consciousness, it also largely remained within his current physical body.

The body he now controlled was transformed from the White Bone God Slaying Saber that had been refined in the East Sea Prefecture City; the infusion of malice and evil energy during its making had caused it to go berserk.

— White Bone God Slaying Saber (Repair??%) → White Bone God Slaying Saber (Repair 5%)

...

Present World.

East Sea City’s underground railway.

A fully armed squad of soldiers wearing night vision devices moved at high speed through the darkness, accompanied by the sound of rushing air.

"How much further to the Spirit Cave?"

"Continue for another 1.5 kilometers, break through two walls, then move forward about 320 meters, and we should be able to enter underneath the perimeter of the Spirit Cave..."

The leading soldier was a young man in his twenties, raised during the era after the emergence of spiritual machines, whose eyes held not the naivety of the youth of the past, but a hint of ferocity.

Yet, having fought countless battles over the past six years, he felt an unprecedented tension in his heart.

All because their target was Lin Xing!

"Lin Xing has been misled..."

This was the mission’s intelligence provided by his superior.

Lin Xing, the strongest being of the present world and humanity’s guardian from Xia Country, was cut off from news of the modern world during his seclusion.

Their mission was to break through the enemy’s defenses and inform Lin Xing of the disasters that the contemporary world was currently facing.

It was then that he saw a shadow hidden in the darkness ahead through his night-vision goggles.

"Stop!"

At his command, everyone immediately took cover and aimed their guns at the figure in front.

The shadow in the darkness seemed to sense their presence and slowly drifted towards them.

A chilly intention swept towards them as the figure approached.

"This road is closed, turn back."

The young leader looked through his scope at the woman and gritted his teeth, "It’s Jing Shiyu... How does she know we’re here?"

A teammate quietly asked, "Captain? What do we do?"

Facing a powerful individual with the fourth heritage, they had no possibility of victory, despite putting forth all their effort.

The young man took a deep breath and his gaze turned cold, "Fire!"

In an instant, gunfires twinkled through the darkness, and a metal storm completely engulfed Jing Shiyu’s figure.

Sensing this scene, Jing Shiyu slowly closed her eyes, suppressing the killing intent in her heart.

"Lin Xing probably wouldn’t want me to kill them, right?"

The next moment, bullets had collided with her spiritual thoughts and paused in mid-air amidst the torrential force.

The shooters, one by one, were knocked unconscious from a distance.

Watching the final young man who kept fleeing and shooting, still struggling persistently, Jing Shiyu said calmly, "Who sent you here?"

"What is your purpose?"

"Apart from your team, how many people were dispatched for this operation?"

Looking at the young man who remained silent and continued to fight determinedly in response to any question, Jing Shiyu sighed, "Do you really wish to die?"

The young man looked up at Jing Shiyu and said coldly, "Why are you stopping us? Do you know how bad the situation is in the Southwest Region? Only Lin Xing can change all of this."

Jing Shiyu’s perception swept over the young man’s equipment, as if seeing the people behind him through his communication device.

She merely said faintly, "The time isn’t right yet."

"Not the right time?" the young man said angrily, "Do you know how lightly you say that, not realizing how many people die there every night, how great the losses are?"

At that moment, Zhao Wanxi’s voice came through Jing Shiyu’s earpiece, "Found it."

The next moment, a force struck the back of the young man’s head, gradually dragging his consciousness into unconsciousness.

But before passing out, he thought to himself, "I hope this delay has bought enough time for the other teams..."

In front of Jing Shiyu, a mobile phone floated up, showing the identities of each soldier on its screen.

"It’s all people from the Southwest Region?"

Jing Shiyu frowned slightly, asking, "How is the evacuation in the Southwest proceeding?"

Zhao Wanxi replied, "Not very smoothly. There are too many people, and efficiency inevitably drops. You know, even if everyone is moved, so much can’t be taken with them, and massive losses are inevitable."

"In such circumstances, there will inevitably be a continuous stream of people from the Southwest seeking to contact Lin Xing, urging him to act against Ming Mountain Sect."

"As time goes on, if this evil continues to spread and we get closer to the three-month deadline set by Ming Mountain Sect, the number of people wanting Lin Xing to intervene will only increase."
