Chapter 562: Chapter 425: Balance Between Immortals and Demons, and the Path to Ascension

"Continuing on, I fear it would be the source of Kunlun in the Mirror World."

"But not upwards, rather... downwards?"

In the ancient myths passed down, the Immortal Court is linked with the heavens, the celestial world, and the sky, and ascending to the Immortal Court is also known as ascension, just as the legends of becoming an immortal in Kunlun describe climbing from the base to the summit of the mountain.

And back when Lin Xing first explored Kunlun, it was at the highest peak that he felt the immortal qi of the Immortal Court.

But now, as Lin Xing descended into the Kunlun Mountain, he could feel that the direction he was following along the Spirit Vein was downwards.

Inside the Kunlun Spiritual Vein, Lin Xing’s Primordial Spirit sank continuously.

When he initially used his Primordial Spirit to enter the belly of the Kunlun Mountain, he could still sense the existence of various components of the mountain, feeling as though his Primordial Spirit was moving through rocks and sand.

However, as his Primordial Spirit continued to descend, upon truly entering the Kunlun Spiritual Vein, the concentration of spiritual energy, immortal qi, and evil qi soared around him, chaotically surging everywhere.

At this moment, it was like boiling magma- wave upon wave striking against Lin Xing’s Pure Yang Primordial Spirit.

If Lin Xing’s previous cultivation in the stone chamber was like standing on an active volcano, drawing in some geothermal energy from time to time to cultivate,

Then at this moment, he felt like he had jumped into an erupting volcano, diving into the underground magma formed by waves of spiritual energy, immortal qi, and evil qi.

The colossal force of energy transfer that operates on a worldly scale kept surging upwards, as if intent on blasting every bit of the intruder’s Primordial Spirit and consciousness to smithereens.

Especially after the immortal qi reached such a high concentration, it became a fatal threat.

The amount of immortal qi, far exceeding what most of the world’s strongest could contain and control, would cause it to run wild and lose control the instant it entered the body, bursting one’s body to demise.

But Lin Xing could endure it.

His Pure Yang Primordial Spirit’s capacity to withstand immortal qi far surpassed any other being in the world, allowing him to survive for a duration under the assault of immortal qi.

If it had been just that, it wouldn’t be enough to sustain him in that place, absorbing immortal qi for a lengthy period.

But at this moment, as vast amounts of immortal qi poured into Lin Xing’s Primordial Spirit, it seemed as though an invisible force was extracting and devouring this energy.

Immortal Qi: -99.2

Immortal Qi: -99.1

Immortal Qi: -99

With each breath and each impact of immortal qi, Lin Xing could feel the negative value of his immortal qi rising at an unprecedented pace, like a black hole frantically absorbing the massive amounts of immortal qi entering his Primordial Spirit.

"This place may be a life-threatening situation for anyone else, but for me at the moment, it’s nothing short of a sanctuary for cultivation."

The White Bone God Slaying Saber that had just leapt out was now trembling violently within Lin Xing’s Primordial Spirit, attracted by the dense evil qi in the Kunlun Spiritual Vein.

Although the vast immortal qi currently posed no threat to Lin Xing, the waves of extremely dense evil qi were continuously wearing down his mind.

Under the stimulation of the evil qi, various memories, sensations, and emotions kept rising in Lin Xing’s heart.

Memories of the battle on the Moon, the anger from being crippled, the unwillingness after being saved by Xingxiao’s Illusion, the thrill of recklessly slaughtering foes, the joy of directly contending with boundary constraints, the satisfaction from refining the protective artifacts, and the anticipation of changing one’s fate...

Images of Jing Shiyu, Bai Yiyi, and Zhao Wanxi also emerged, one after another...

Under the stimulation of the evil qi, his soul became hundreds or thousands of times more sensitive, magnifying emotions and sensations, making it easy to sink within them and gradually, bit by bit, descend into madness.

Fortunately, Lin Xing, through numerous time-reversing battles and fights, after the reformation of his Primordial Spirit and rebirth cultivation, and having spent a considerable amount of time over the past six years on the Moon, had hammered out a will far stronger than any of his past selves.

This allowed him to remain calm like a rock being continuously forged and burnt, not instantly shattered into madness by the evil qi.

Time kept passing by, Lin Xing had no idea how long it had been, only feeling the immortal qi becoming more and more tumultuous while being drawn into his Primordial Spirit.

Immortal Qi: -85.5

Immortal Qi: -85.4

Immortal Qi: -85.3

Feeling the skyrocketing immortal qi, Lin Xing experienced a sense of extreme pleasure, feeling an invigorating sensation all over, and an urge to immerse himself in it, to completely erase the shackles that the negative immortal qi brought with one breath.

At this moment, Lin Xing understood that it was time to return and regroup.

He forcefully suppressed the desire in his heart, his Primordial Spirit twitched slightly, and he shot upwards violently, swiftly exiting the Spirit Vein and returning to his physical body in the stone chamber.

"Regroup, then return..."

Just as this thought surfaced in his mind, Lin Xing’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed: "Is this strong desire a result of the stimulation from the evil qi... or is it my genuine inner longing?"

The hardest thing for one to control is their own heart, even for powerful beings of the past, it’s difficult to distinguish whether every flicker of desire in their heart arises naturally or under the stimulation of evil qi, because in the end, all emotions and desires come from within the powerful being themselves.

Lin Xing at this moment did not have the luxury of expecting himself to be cleansed of desires, to slowly counteract the influence of the evil qi through the control of his own emotions and desires.

Instead, he chose a simpler, more brutal, and faster approach.

"Master Bai."
