Chapter 166 Yellow Maple Valley! The Nascent Soul Ancestor Returns!
Lin Chuan walked up to the corpse of the corpse demon and examined it carefully.
The body of this corpse demon is the best material for corpse refining.
If refined using secret methods, it can be transformed into a powerful corpse, far surpassing the strength of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.
The silver chains on its body are also rare refining materials, the Heavenly Fire Divine Chains.
In the future, it can be used to refine puppets or to create magical artifacts to trap enemies.
"nice one."
Lin Chuan took out the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword and began to cut the silver chains.
These chains were indeed incredibly sturdy; ordinary magical artifacts couldn't damage them in the slightest.
However, Lin Chuan's flying sword was infused with Geng essence, making it incomparably sharp.
One sword, two swords, three swords...
The clanging of metal echoed through the cave.
Half an hour later, the first chain was cut.
Then came the second, the third...
Another half hour passed.
All the chains were cut.
Lin Chuan put the chains and the corpse of the corpse demon into his storage bag and stood up.
……
Just then, a strange movement came from the storage bag at his waist.
Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow and gestured—
An ancient treasure flew out of the storage bag.
It was a jade ruyi with a wolf's head.
This item was obtained by him in the Void Heaven Palace of the Chaotic Star Sea years ago. At this moment, the wolf head on the jade ruyi has actually come to life!
The wolf head opened its eyes, and two beams of silver light shot out from them.
The next moment, a silver ball of light shot out from the Ruyi!
The ball of light transformed into the phantom of a giant silver wolf, howling towards the sky!
The silver wolf phantom circled once in the stone chamber, its gaze landing on the snow cloud fox huddled in the corner, trembling.
Without hesitation, it transformed into a streak of silver light and rushed into the Snow Cloud Fox's body!
Snow Cloud Fox trembled, and then its body emitted a dazzling silver light.
The silver light grew brighter and brighter, until finally—
The white fox flipped over and transformed back into human form!
She was still in that naked form—her skin was as white as snow, her figure graceful, every inch of her perfect as a work of art sculpted by God.
But now, her eyes were pure black pupils, no longer possessing the eerie quality they once had.
Her temperament has also become much more refined, as if she were a completely different person.
She looked down at her own body, then at Lin Chuan, a complex look flashing in her eyes.
"Put them on."
Lin Chuan casually took out a light blue dress from his storage bag and tossed it over.
She gently raised her jade-like hand and draped the dress over her body. The wide dress concealed the glimpse of her delicate figure, revealing only a section of her snow-white neck.
She walked up to Lin Chuan and gracefully bowed.
"Thank you, Master."
Her voice was clear and melodious, and her demeanor was elegant.
Every move she made was full of indescribable charm, making her even more refined and elegant than the average lady from a prominent family.
Lin Chuan looked at the woman in front of him but didn't ask any further questions.
He knew all her secrets.
Silver Moon, a demon queen from the spirit world.
"Let's go."
He turned and walked out of the cave.
Yinyue got up and silently followed behind him.
……
An hour later, Lin Chuan returned to the inn in the mortal city he had visited before.
Pushing open the door, I saw Zi Ling sitting by the window, staring blankly at the street scene outside.
Hearing the noise, she turned her head, saw Lin Chuan, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.
But then, she saw the silver moon behind Lin Chuan. (Remember our domain name: [domain name omitted], you can read the exciting content anytime.)
She was an absolutely beautiful woman, with an elegant demeanor and gentle manners; just standing there, she was captivating.
A complex emotion flashed in Zi Ling's eyes.
But she didn't ask anything; she simply stood up and said softly:
"The senior is back."
Lin Chuan nodded and sat down at the table.
"What are your plans next, senior?" Zi Ling asked.
Lin Chuan pondered for a moment.
"I have no interest in starting my own school of thought."
He speaks his mind.
With his current strength, he could indeed establish his own sect and become a mountain king.
But that means dealing with countless trivial matters, guarding against the covetousness of various forces, training disciples, managing territory... It's too troublesome.
He only wanted to cultivate in peace, seek opportunities, and pursue the Great Dao.
Since they couldn't establish their own sect, they had no choice but to join another sect.
Lin Chuan thought of Yellow Maple Valley.
Back then, he was a disciple of Huangfeng Valley.
Li Huayuan's apprentice.
Although he had been gone for over a hundred years, he never betrayed his master.
If you want to stay in a sect, then go to Yellow Maple Valley.
That was the starting point of his path to immortality, where he had familiar faces and memories of the past.
"Let's go back to Maple Valley."
……
After two months of travel, Lin Chuan, with Zi Ling, crossed several countries and finally arrived in the southern part of Tiannan—the territory of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance.
Along the way, they witnessed the vastly different customs and cultures of various places in southern China.
Sometimes they camp out in the wilderness, sometimes they rest in ordinary cities, and sometimes they fly over the sky to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Although Zi Ling was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, her magical power had not yet recovered, and she relied entirely on Lin Chuan's care along the way.
The Nine Kingdoms Alliance is a massive alliance composed of nine cultivation nations in the southern part of the world.
With formidable strength, they are capable of contending with the six major demonic sects of the north.
Its original purpose was to defend against the foreign enemy to the south—the Mulan people.
The Mulan people are a powerful group of cultivators located south of Tiannan.
They live on the vast grasslands, making a living as nomads, and are proficient in all kinds of strange and wonderful magic, making them extremely powerful in combat.
However, the grassland area is extremely barren, and its reserves of spirit stones and cultivation resources such as spiritual herbs are far inferior to those in Tiannan.
Therefore, every few years, the Mulan people would invade from the north and wage war against the Nine Kingdoms Alliance.
The two sides fought back and forth for over a century, and their hatred had long since seeped into their very bones.
Upon entering the territory of the Nine Nations Alliance, Lin Chuan clearly sensed the tense atmosphere in the air.
Most of the cultivators along the way were in a hurry and looked wary.
Occasionally, they would encounter patrolling groups of cultivators, all fully armed, their auras surging, looking ready to fight at any moment.
Lin Chuan didn't cause any trouble. He took Zi Ling and Yin Yue straight north to their destination—the Northern Liang Kingdom.
The Northern Liang Kingdom, a member of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, is not large in area, and its spiritual energy is not particularly abundant.
However, for sects like Huangfeng Valley who fled from the Yue Kingdom, this place is a rare haven.
When the six demonic sects invaded, the seven factions of Yue Kingdom suffered a great defeat, and each faction scattered and fled.
Led by Patriarch Linghu, Huangfeng Valley retreated south and finally settled in the Northern Liang Kingdom, where they re-established their sect.
Lin Chuan stood on a barren mountain, gazing at the distant mountain range shrouded in clouds and mist.
That is the new mountain gate of Yellow Maple Valley.
He didn't rush in.
Instead, he found a secluded spot outside the mountains, sat cross-legged, and waited quietly.
Zi Ling and Yin Yue stayed by his side without asking any questions.
The next morning, a golden light appeared before their eyes.
[Today’s hexagram: Zhongji]
[The divination reads: Today, you return to Yellow Maple Valley as a Nascent Soul cultivator, and will be highly valued by Ancestor Linghu. Ancestor Linghu is currently worried about the sect's lack of successors, and your return is seen by him as the sect's hope. This journey will be smooth and without obstacles.]
"Well."
Lin Chuan looked at the divination results, a slight smile appearing on his lips.
