"Still haven't found it?"

Lin Xin sat in a luxurious mansion within Hanzhong City, looking at the five disciples standing before him.

"We disciples have explored dozens of areas separately, and although we found quite a few zombies, after eliminating them, we haven't found any trace of what Master described."

A beautiful female disciple reported helplessly.

"What about Lu Li?"

Lin Xin frowned.

"Eldest Senior Sister has already gone to the Western Ocean. It is said that there is a region there where all living beings enter but never leave, and she has not yet returned."

Another male disciple quickly replied.

"We shouldn't delay here for too long. Continue your search, and focus on Corpse King Ji Du. As the oldest living being in this world, resurrect him first, and perhaps we can interrogate him to find out where what we want is located."

Lin Xin instructed calmly.

"Yes, Master."

"Master, what should we do with the three thousand zombies discovered in the north?" The beautiful disciple continued to ask.

"Capture them to do hard labor. Zombies have good strength and strong recovery abilities. Catch some large fish from the sea for them to suck blood and keep them alive, and assign them tasks such as mining and forging."

Lin Xin's eyes drooped.

"If there are any who resist, kill them and send them to the Research Institute as fertilizer."

"Yes!"

After the five disciples left, Lin Xin slowly stood up.

"After searching for so long, I still haven't found the origin of the world, and the World Stabilizing Stone is nowhere to be found... It seems I can only resurrect Jidu and interrogate him about the situation, perhaps I can find some clues."

Recently, he had a faint feeling that something was not right. A great calamity was approaching, and with his Evasion attribute, to have such intuition, something bad was likely to happen soon.

"I have to speed things up..."

He thought to himself.

At this point, attribute points were no longer very useful, but they still provided him with extremely strong evasion and the ability to hide his aura. This kind of prediction of danger was also an excellent ability to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

However, he faintly felt that attribute points were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.

He had absorbed the Affinity Demon Resentful Qi from the Demon God King in several places, how could it only have this little effect?

He faintly felt that attribute points seemed to be lurking, waiting for the day to suddenly explode.

Thinking of this, he looked at his attribute panel again.

Not looking at the large number of various skills, but only at the attributes.

"Could it be that I still don't have enough attribute points?" This thought flashed through his mind.

His current attribute points seemed like a lot, but in reality, they were only a few times that of an ordinary body refining Human Immortal.

The spiritual light emerging from the back of his head was merely a qualitative change that naturally occurred when breaking through the Human Immortal level of body refinement.

But it didn't mean his physical body was truly powerful.

"Perhaps I can try converting attribute points. My attribute points are mainly composed of essence, Qi, and spirit. I can also simply convert soul power. If I absorb souls and wronged souls in this world, it's also feasible..."

"Report! Master!!"

Suddenly, a figure rushed in hastily.

"Traces of the origin have been discovered!"

"What! Where?"

Lin Xin was overjoyed and stood up.

The person who came was Wang Kongyan. Her face was flushed, and her eyes were filled with joy.

"Junior Sister Jade Fox organized many Daoist Priests to search for information on Corpse King Jidu. They found many pieces of evidence proving that Jidu himself is the world origin we are looking for!"

"Jidu himself?"

Lin Xin was stunned.

"Where's the compiled information?"

"Here!"

Wang Kongyan quickly handed over a Jade Talisman.

Lin Xin took it, closed his eyes slightly, and a large amount of information flooded into his mind.

When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were shining, and his face smiled.

"Indeed! Darling of the Earth! The world origin is him! No wonder he's immortal, so that's how it is... Immediately find the Seal Land, I want to personally unseal the other two Corpse King Qi!"

"One place has already been found, and the last one will be soon!" Wang Kongyan said quickly.

"Then let's go!"

Lin Xin crushed the Jade Talisman and walked directly out of the room.

Wang Kongyan followed closely behind.

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

Void, Third Heaven Realm.

In the pure white and boundless Heaven Realm, there are no boundaries, no matter, except for endless white light, there is nothing else.

This is the white world.

All living beings, life, whether evil or good, ordinary or strange, are equivalent to blind people here, unable to see anything.

They can only rely on touch and smell to move.

In the pure white void, several figures suddenly appeared.

One of them wore a Copper Mask, and the rest were covered in black cloth, making it impossible to see their faces.

"Fellow Daoists, this time the Heavenly Demon Warlord will cooperate with us and send out a large army for a surprise attack. If this fails, we must return to the battlefield within a day, otherwise, if the front line discovers our strength has been diverted, I fear it will cause the battle situation to fall into a disadvantage."

The Copper Masked Man said in a low voice.

"We old folks have lost our families, and our cultivation prospects have been cut off. What else is there to be pessimistic about? Just give the order, Venerable. We old fogeys are all going all out."

One of the figures said in a low voice, his voice old and decaying, trembling, as if he might breathe his last at any moment.

"Then everything depends on you all." The Copper Masked Man cupped his fist and said, "We belong to the twenty-ninth team, and there are companions from the twenty-eighth team around. If you see them, please help them if you can."

"Understood!"

Everyone responded one after another.

"Alright, let's set off!"

The Copper Masked Man said lightly, turned around, and gently swiped his hand in the void in front of him.

Instantly, the space of the Third Heaven Realm was directly torn open, revealing the blackness of the First Heaven Void below.

He took the lead and flew out first, followed by the others.

As soon as everyone entered the First Heaven Void, the surrounding space quickly twisted and tore apart, as if a huge force was constantly shaking the surrounding void.

This invisible wave spread rapidly and would soon be discovered by those who were paying attention.

"Quick! We can't stay here for long!"

The Copper Masked Man said sternly.

Immediately, everyone suddenly dispersed, turning into black lines and flying towards the Void Spirit Defense Line on the rear side of Azure Lake Mountain.

In the dark void directly in front of them, a Black Gold behemoth slowly awakened.

This black dragon-like behemoth's wings on its back were not flesh wings, but countless huge human hands, woven together side by side.

The white human hands were arranged in two rows, constantly struggling on its back, trying to break free, but to no avail.

"Those who trespass on Azure Lake Mountain shall die!!"

The behemoth opened its giant eyes, its body, which was dozens of li in size, opened its huge mouth fiercely, and bit towards the Copper Masked Man and the others who were flying towards it.

"World Artifact, Soul Fix."

The Copper Masked Man pointed his finger, and the behemoth instantly stiffened for a moment.

The few of them instantly shot past the side of the behemoth and disappeared into the void in a few flashes.

"Damn it!!"

The behemoth roared.

"We must notify the Main Sect immediately!"

The other party was actually able to make him pause for a moment, their cultivation was at least Celestial Venerable!

But the front line is in confrontation, and there are only so many Celestial Venerables in total, and there are only a dozen or so in Shadow City. Where did these six Celestial Venerable experts come from?

The behemoth reacted in an instant.

"Not good! It's a feint!"

It stretched out its claws, and immediately invisible, faint lights shot out like lightning, tearing through space and disappearing into other Heaven Realms, flying towards the Main Sect.

And the Copper Masked Man and the others, after flying for a distance, suddenly dispersed.

"After each of you has finished your task, gather at the designated location for teleportation. Please, Venerable Ones, do not delay!"

The Copper Masked Man said rapidly.

"Rest assured!"

"If I am held back, don't wait for me. It's just death!"

Several people responded one after another.

The Copper Masked Man was also filled with emotion at this time. Shadow City was making a desperate gamble this time.

More than a dozen Celestial Venerables were mobilized, nearly half of them, to launch a surprise attack on the Main Sect from the rear, in order to gain a glimmer of survival in the great calamity.

If they failed, then the entire Shadow City would completely shrink its battle lines, suffer a great loss of vitality, and it would probably take tens of thousands of years to recover.

The several people scattered and flew away, disappearing into the void in a few moments.

Among them, a slightly shorter old man, with wind and sand surging around him, flew in the direction of Lin Xin's Sacrifice to the Gods Land.

Behind that place was one of the fifteen most critical nodes in the Void Spirit Defense Line.

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

Netherworld Realm

Lin Wai and Lin Yi were constantly commanding a large number of Dao Soldiers, continuously attracting the surrounding debris and gravel in the void, absorbing them into the edge of the Netherworld Realm, and constantly expanding the size of the Netherworld Realm.

Tens of thousands of Soul Harvesters, thousands of Snow Monsters, and dozens of Star Demons were distributed around the entire Netherworld Realm, guarding all possible channels and entrances.

Above the Netherworld Realm, layers of thick formation halos were stacked upon each other. No one knew how many layers there were. Compared to Lin Xin's formations at the fifth rank, the current great formation superposition had been replaced with nineteen layers of sixth-rank great formations. Its power was far beyond that of the past.

Groups of Dao Soldiers were constantly maintaining and building things in the Netherworld Realm. Countless Magic Item blanks were being forged, and then a large number of cultivators were responsible for engraving runes and formations on them.

Over the years, the Netherworld Realm had cultivated a large number of Qi Refining cultivators who knew formations and runes, the worst of whom were at the Golden Core level.

This was the effect brought about by the terrifying concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

There was also the advantage of Lin Xin's massive collection of disciples with the best aptitude.

Lake Mountain Sect now had its fourth generation of disciples. The fourth-generation disciples could only travel in the small world, and then go to the Netherworld Realm to study and retreat to advance. They did not know what the outside world covered by the formation was like.

This generation after generation of power constantly increased the massive foundation and thickness of Lin Xin's Sacrifice to the Gods Land.

Lin Yi leaned on his Purple Jade Cane, looking with satisfaction at the orderly Netherworld Realm city in front of him.

A huge city based on Dao Soldier Buildings had already formed here.

Dao Soldiers and cultivators were mixed together, living in harmony, with their residences only a little distance apart.

"These are all the Master's power!"

He exclaimed.

"Even a regular medium-sized Sect wouldn't be much more than this. I just wonder what Master is planning, hiding such a large force?"

Lin Wai suddenly appeared behind him, the two of them standing on top of a tall building, overlooking the entire Netherworld Realm.

"Master's will is not something we can casually speculate about. By the way, I've had some bad premonitions lately, I don't know if you've felt it..."

As a Star Demon, and one that has been strengthened many times over, Lin Wai's attributes are extremely powerful, and his premonition of danger is also very sharp.

"You better be ready to fight at any time, the great calamity that Master mentioned has arrived, even if we have a spatial maze, we won't be safe." (To be continued ~^~)
