Planning

Seeing his martial soul change form once again.

Lu Lin's face showed no surprise.

After obtaining his first spirit ring, the Pure Fire Green Lotus had transformed into a Blazing Fire Red Lotus when he used his first spirit ability.

It was then that Lu Lin discovered his martial soul had the characteristic of changing its external form.

After obtaining the spirit ring for the Jade Mantis, Lu Lin's face showed no expression of joy.

Instead, he stood in place, his face looking thoughtful.

It wasn't that the thousand-year spirit ability [Green Lotus Instant Body]'s power was weak; on the contrary, Lu Lin was very satisfied with its effect.

But Lu Lin's worry wasn't about this problem.

At this moment, Ji Ming, standing beside him, spoke unhurriedly:

"Twin Martial Souls cannot be used simultaneously, and similarly, spirit abilities cannot be used simultaneously."

"Although Green Lotus Instant Body is good, it still cannot compensate for the weakness of lacking offensive capabilities."

"Buddha Fury Red Lotus relies on the Fire Lotus form of the first spirit ability, essentially compressing fire elements and spirit power into the Fire Lotus to create an explosive effect."

"The longer the charge time, the greater the power."

"But this also means that when using the second spirit ability, Buddha Fury Red Lotus cannot be used."

"Now, you can either shorten the time to switch spirit abilities, and immediately switch to the first spirit ability after using Green Lotus Instant Body to charge Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus."

"Or, like developing Buddha Fury Red Lotus, compress spirit power into the Glazed White Jade Lotus form of the second spirit ability to develop the derivative battle skill Buddha's Fury Glazed Lotus."

"But Glazed White Jade Lotus lacks the fire element enhancement, so it can be imagined that its power will definitely not be as great as Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus."

Lu Lin nodded expressionlessly.

What Ji Ming said was naturally what he had been thinking, merely spoken through the mouth of his avatar.

In fact, there was another method to resolve this, which was the Divided Mind Control technique of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect.

This secret technique allowed spirit masters to use multiple spirit abilities simultaneously.

But Lu Lin currently only knew from Qin He that the contemporary successor of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect, Ning Shuang, was studying in the third year of the Shrek Outer Court.

He hadn't even met her.

Moreover, this method was a secret of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect that was not passed down.

Unless he managed to win over Ning Shuang, forget about learning this secret technique; there wouldn't even be a window of opportunity, let alone a door.

However, if his plan went smoothly...

Lu Lin suppressed his thoughts.

Now that his main body had obtained the second soul ring, it was time to proceed with the next step of his plan.

Not long after, somewhere in the central region of Sunset Forest.

While soul beasts were scarce in the outer areas of Sunset Forest, they weren't entirely absent.

This place, however, was different. Forget soul beasts; as far as the eye could see, even vegetation was extremely sparse.

The culprit behind all this was naturally Lu Lin and his clone, who were standing before the miasma that enveloped this large area, almost omnipresent like a thin fog.

Just standing at the edge, Lu Lin felt his soul power circulation become sluggish, and he even felt a sense of being corroded.

This poisonous miasma truly lived up to its reputation.

If one were careless, even a powerful Soul Fighting Douluo might perish here.

This was also one of the reasons why the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes had been isolated from the world in Sunset Forest for nine thousand years.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes were one of the three great treasure troves of the Douluo Plane. If it weren't for the miasma, it would have been stripped bare long ago.

Only Lu Lin knew that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes were prepared by Tang Shenwang for Huo Yuhao a thousand years later.

For the grand plan spanning ten thousand years, how could Tang Shenwang not have left some contingency?

When Huo Yuhao came here, he was already a five-ringed soul master. And not just an ordinary five-ringed soul master.

Coupled with his Extreme Ice attribute martial soul, which naturally countered this miasma, and with the assistance of Emperor Beast King Qiu'er, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and the soul spirit Snow Empress, among others.

Even so, for him and Wang Qiu'er to enter this "dungeon" was fraught with peril.

Anyone else would have met their end here long ago.

Lu Lin only knew the location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes within Sunset Forest, but without a map, he and his clone could only search the forest aimlessly like headless flies.

Fortunately, persistence paid off, and they finally found it. After all, Sunset Forest was only so large.

Lu Lin and his clone stood at the edge of the miasma, one behind the other, lost in thought.

Normally, he definitely couldn't enter.

But his clone, backed by the Body Sect and utilizing Si Yuan Ye's abilities, could naturally enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes without hindrance.

And this was Lu Lin's "gift" to the Body Sect—after all, he couldn't use so many Immortal Herbs by himself.

Ji Ming, or rather Lu Lin, had joined the Body Sect at the age of six.

To possess three rings at that age, the Body Sect's cultivation of him could be imagined.

Lu Lin's feelings for the Body Sect were undeniably deep.

Unfortunately, Lu Lin knew very clearly that during the Absolute Tang Dynasty period, under the alliance of the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Sect, the Body Sect suffered heavy losses and was severely weakened.

Before Poison Undying's death, although he entrusted the Body Sect to Huo Yuhao, Huo Gua had already ascended to the God Realm afterward, so how could he still manage the Body Sect?

After this battle, the Body Sect inevitably moved towards decline.

In a certain aspect, the Body Sect's experience was quite similar to that of the Tang Sect.

The difference was that after the Tang Sect's decline, they still had Huo Yuhao, the Son of Destiny, as their revitalizing lord, and they stood tall on the Douluo Continent for tens of thousands of years afterward.

The Body Sect, however, continued to decline.

By the Dragon King Legend period, it had become extremely weak, no longer possessing its former glory.

Lu Lin believed that with the Body Sect in possession of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, it would no longer repeat the same mistakes as in the original work.

As for Shrek, sorry, Shrek without the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes was still doing just fine.

Moreover, Lu Lin's feelings for Shrek were not deep for the time being.

Finding the location of the poisonous miasma, as per the plan, "Ji Ming" turned back to the sect to invite Si Yuan Ye over.

Lu Lin, on the other hand, remained in place, awaiting the arrival of the Body Sect's sect master.

The Sunset Forest was located in the southeastern part of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Body Sect was also within the Heaven Dou Empire's sphere of influence.

It naturally wouldn't take long for Ji Ming to make the round trip.

Just a few days later, the Sunset Forest, rarely trodden by anyone, welcomed three more guests.

They were Si Yuan Ye, Ji Ming, and Nan Yunheng.

And this was the first time Lu Lin, in his own body, met Si Yuan Ye and Nan Yunheng.

"Junior Lu Lin greets the Sect Master."

Lu Lin suppressed the emotions in his heart and bowed slightly.

Si Yuan Ye, dressed in grey and with a refined demeanor, looked at Lu Lin, nodded gently, and said with a smile:

"No need for formalities, I've already heard the details from Ji Ming."

"...Huh?"

Si Yuan Ye had already reached the edge of the poisonous miasma, his gaze fixed on it, a look of surprise on his face, not even finishing his sentence.

With his knowledge, he could naturally tell this place was far from ordinary.

Lu Lin had been paying attention to Si Yuan Ye's expression and saw nothing unusual.

The Incarnation Game panel, his golden finger, showed no abnormal activity.

This also meant that even someone as formidable as Si Yuan Ye couldn't see the connection between him and Ji Ming.

Reliable!

What Lu Lin had worried about didn't happen, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Beside Si Yuan Ye, Ji Ming, clad in black, and Nan Yunheng stood quietly to the side.

The girl still had black hair cut short at her ears, her skin as fair as jade, ethereal and refined.

Her eyes flickered, her clear gaze glancing at Lu Lin before shifting away.

"This miasma is indeed extraordinary. Fortunately, neither of you rushed in."

"Heh, you three be careful. Follow behind me."

Si Yuan Ye said, his tone calm, yet exuding an air of unparalleled, powerful confidence!
