Chapter 561: Chapter 424: Burden and Approaching the Immortal Court

Inside Kunlun Mountain.

Atop the highest peak, on a stone platform.

A young girl sat there, her index finger lightly touching, releasing delicate beams of sword light sweeping outward—it was Lin Xing’s Heavenly River Time Shadow Sword.

As the sword light flickered, strands of light formed a human figure in mid-air, brandishing a longsword, practicing various sword techniques.

At that moment, Bai Yiyi, who was wielding the Heavenly River Time Shadow Sword, looked proudly at the astonished maid beside her and said, "How is my swordsmanship?"

The maid, full of admiration, replied, "To transform sword light into form—it’s truly a miraculous sword technique! Ancestor, you must have spent a long time mastering this technique."

"It was okay," Bai Yiyi said enigmatically. "All in all, it took me a bit more than seven years."

"But it was only tough at the beginning. My cultivation method values natural law; I treat cultivation as a lifestyle. Once started, I let it evolve naturally and develop on its own..."

Since Lin Xing had entered closed-door cultivation a few days ago, fully dedicating himself to it, he had lent Bai Yiyi the Heavenly River Time Shadow Sword and the Red Gang Star River to protect him during this session.

This was why Lin Xing had delegated commonplace responsibilities to Bai Yiyi, and should the Heavenly River Time Shadow Sword or the Red Gang Star River unleash their formidable powers, Lin Xing would immediately sense it.

With time on her hands, Bai Yiyi would occasionally practice her swordsmanship, showing off her cultivation progress in front of some maids from Moon Kill Country.

Just then, she noticed Bai Hai Liu standing nearby, unknown since when, and with a frown, she asked, "Old man, what do you want?"

Bai Hai Liu approached with a smile and presented a shortsword to Bai Yiyi: "Do you know how much about the memories you lost?"

"Inside this shortsword are some memories that once belonged to you."

Bai Yiyi snorted coldly and said, "Old fool, does this contain memories of that fake Swordmaiden? You give me this? I don’t want to turn into a lunatic like the Swordmaiden."

Bai Hai Liu shook his head. "These are all the experiences from your past lives’ cultivation. If you absorb them all, you should have no problem advancing to the fourth legacy."

He then placed the shortsword on the ground: "Of course, whether or not you want to take in this power is entirely up to you..."

But in the next moment, streaks of sword light flashed, directly slashing towards the shortsword Bai Hai Liu had placed down.

Staring at the shattered shortsword, Bai Hai Liu looked at Bai Yiyi in surprise, as if seeing her for the first time: "You actually have such resolve and courage?"

Based on his investigation and understanding of Bai Yiyi, she should have been the type to covet vanity, loathe hard work, and exploit any loopholes until everything broke down.

Seeing Bai Hai Liu shocked by her display, Bai Yiyi smiled proudly and said, "Old ghost, do you think I’m stupid?"

With thousands of sword lights flickering at her fingertips, a dazzling stream of red stars swept out from her body, forming a pair of vast wings.

Bolstered by the two great protectorial weapons, Bai Yiyi’s presence surged mightily.

And from her high position, she looked down at Bai Hai Liu with a wise expression and said, "See? This is the power I possess now."

"I have transcended the cultivation of those past lives you speak of, far stronger than the ’me’ of these past few centuries combined."

"Do you know why?" Bai Yiyi said with a proud smile. "Because in this life, I am not burdened by you and Xingxiao. I have truly been able to use my talents, becoming invincible in just a mere seven years."

"And you still think to hold me back?"

As Bai Yiyi flicked her fingertips, the collisions of sword lights generated a sound that swept the skies, causing thousands within Kunlun Mountain to tremble in fear and confusion.

Moments later, Xingxiao, looking down the mountain at Bai Hai Liu, asked softly, "Her... what choice did she make?"

Bai Hai Liu shook his head: "Give it up; she’s no longer the true Bai Yiyi."

Saying this, he transferred the memories of his mountaintop encounter into Xingxiao’s mind.

"Now, she’s merely a plaything of Lin Xing, never to return to what she was."

"The only way you might salvage anything at all," he said.

"Ascension, and then..."

"Slay the Immortals of the Immortal Court."

Feeling everything that had just happened, Xingxiao hugged himself and muttered while looking in the direction of the mountain peak, "Fang Fei, our daughter is finally gone..."

---

In another stone chamber.

Lin Xing was entering a critical moment of seclusion.

The Immortal Court had released a mix of spiritual mechanisms, immortal qi, and demonic qi. No one in this world could sort and separate them one by one, not even the immortals of the Immortal Court who were reluctant to touch even a bit of it.

Lin Xing’s cultivation these days involved inhaling, absorbing, and integrating all three.

That was precisely why, in order to resist the negative effects of the demonic qi, Lin Xing had sent Bai Yiyi away and concentrated on his closed-door cultivation.

As time passed, Lin Xing could feel twenty-four sharp auras growing more restless within his body, which were the true powers of the twenty-four White Bone God Slaying Sabers.

However, six imbued with immortal qi were already under his control, completely subdued by him.

The remaining eighteen were sinister and demonic, the demonic qi within them far surpassed the immortal qi, and they desperately resisted Lin Xing’s control, only to be forcibly suppressed by the other six.

But just then, one of the sabers, heavy with demonic qi, suddenly emitted a sharp screech. It seemed that its days in the environment of Kunlun had allowed it to absorb both immortal and demonic qi, eventually undergoing some sort of transformation, emitting a twisted halo of light.

The next moment, the saber lightly slashed, the space around it twisted, and it leaped out of Lin Xing’s body.

"Trying to escape?"

Lin Xing’s gaze sharpened, and with a swoop of his hand, he attempted to scoop up the fleeing blade of light as if catching a fish.

But as soon as he grasped the blade light in his palm, it lightly jumped again and directly shot through space toward the mountains below Kunlun.

"Fine saber."

Lin Xing’s mind moved, and a vast power rose from his body. His Pure Yang Primordial Spirit immediately left his body and chased after the blade light.

Normally, with the divine oddities of Kunlun Mountain, it would not have been easy for Lin Xing’s Pure Yang Primordial Spirit to enter.

But at this moment, he felt a force within his Primordial Spirit resonate slightly with the Spiritual Vein of Kunlun, allowing him to enter effortlessly.

"Is it the power of the Dragon Vein?"

The Great Zhou Dragon Vein had already been thoroughly absorbed and refined by him during his cultivation of the Six Secret Immortal Refining technique long ago.

However, following the battle on the Moon, his cultivation had been weakened by the Immortal Court, causing him to seldom use the ultimate art of Six Secret Immortal Refining.

"During my last visit, the Dragon Vein’s power didn’t have such divine aspects, could it be related to the recent changes in Kunlun?"

With a slight thought, Lin Xing momentarily set the matter aside, focusing his attention once again on the escaped White Bone God Slaying Saber.

Although the saber had the mystery of traversing space, the moment it entered Kunlun, it was brutally suppressed and now lay immobile within the Spiritual Vein.

Yet Lin Xing, possessing the power of the Dragon Vein, found that his Primordial Spirit could move freely within the Kunlun Spiritual Vein, and with a light flash, he grasped the blade light in his hand.

Having re-subdued the White Bone God Slaying Saber, Lin Xing then turned his attention to the present situation, feeling the surge of power within the Kunlun Spiritual Vein, a curious look appearing on his face.

He could feel streams of spiritual mechanisms, demonic qi, and immortal qi continuously emerging from not far ahead.

"Does that lead to the Immortal Court?"

His thoughts moved slightly, and his Primordial Spirit approached.

At this moment, Lin Xing felt as if he had never been so close to the Immortal Court before.
