From their conversation, Lin Jin learned that this ancient immortal's name was' Du Li 'and he used to be a real immortal. However, ever since the fall of immortality, his physical body was destroyed. The only reason he was able to leave behind this remnant of his soul was because of the Unending Nature Landscape. Otherwise, this remnant of his soul wouldn't have survived.
This monster, General Lion, was actually a lion beast who accidentally stumbled into this Nature Landscape a long time ago. After receiving Du Li's telepathic guidance, he gained some skills.
As for the people in the plaza, they were actually just Du Li's selfish motives.
"I'm the only one left from my lineage of immortality so I was hoping to find some people to help me comprehend the sect's introductory cultivation method. It's a pity that no one has succeeded in all these years." Du Li's voice carried a hint of disappointment.
Lin Jin said nothing.
Inwardly, he mused, 'It's not like no one has succeeded. I've succeeded. However, Du Li clearly didn't think so because the other party had already placed him on the same level as him.
Did immortals of the same level still need to comprehend introductory cultivation methods?
Just one look and you'll know. '
Du Li was sighing while Lin Jin felt his heart palpitate as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
He was now putting his acting skills on the line.
However, when it came to introductory cultivation methods, they were referring to the Beastmaster Fourth Scroll. Lin Jin took this opportunity to ask around and found out that Du Li's lineage was a beast cultivator.
It was fitting for the current situation.
However, the fact that the powerful Beastmaster Fourth Scroll was only an introductory cultivation method was quite a blow to Lin Jin. Fortunately, Lin Jin wasn't foolish enough to compare the current situation to the era before the fall of immortality. After all, times had changed.
Lin Jin also told Du Li about the situation outside. Du Li listened in silence.
"Indeed, times have changed and the cycle of eras has passed. Forget it, I've already profited from knowing this." Having said that, Du Li saluted Lin Jin. "Brother Lin, I've actually shown myself today because I have a favor to ask."
Lin Jin replied, "Senior Du, feel free to speak your mind. As long as it's within my power, Lin Jin will do his best."
Du Li said, "This remnant of my soul doesn't have much time left and will dissipate soon. When that time comes, I hope that Fellow Daoist Lin can take care of my [Supreme Mountain River Painting]. This painting is the ultimate treasure of my sect and was personally passed down to me by the Sect Leader. I can't let it be without an owner, so I hope that Fellow Daoist Lin can take care of it for me. This painting contains the cultivation manuals of my sect and Fellow Daoist Lin can take a look at them. I only hope that Fellow Daoist Lin can find someone with a decent character to inherit the sect's magical treasure and not let this lineage end in my hands."
It was obvious that Du Li had no other choice but to entrust this task to Lin Jin.
As for the others, they either didn't trust him or didn't have the ability to do so.
Perhaps Du Li was feeling a little displeased. Lin Jin could tell that too.
However, just as Du Li had said, his remnant soul was about to completely dissipate, so he could only resort to desperate measures.
Lin Jin had no choice but to nod and promise that he would find a successor to pass down this immortal sect.
"If that's the case, I'm counting on you." Du Li was overjoyed at this. He got up and bowed to Lin Jin solemnly, prompting Lin Jin to return the gesture.
Just then, Lin Jin vaguely heard a commotion in the Museum of Deadly Beasts. He used his psychic power to investigate and found that it was coming from the newly constructed Demon Slaying Hall.
At that moment, a black ray of light appeared in the Demon Slaying Hall. Then, that black ray of light turned into a small black jade demonic image that floated in the air. At the same time, the image of a sword appeared in the Demon Slaying Hall.
The shadow of the sword was faintly discernible, exuding a sharp aura.
Lin Jin was surprised to see this. With a turn of his mind, he entered the Demon Slaying Hall. The first thing he saw was the shadow of the sword and Lin Jin immediately knew what it was.
The Demon Slaying Sword.
Born upon encountering demons, slaying demons upon sight. Slaying demons and turning them into jade. Jade Suspended in the Demon Slaying Hall.
When Lin Jin saw this sword, he felt a sense of connection with it. He knew that this must be one of the Museum of Deadly Beasts' remarkable supernatural powers.
Then, Lin Jin turned to look at the black jade. What he saw shocked him even more.
The demonic jade looked exactly like Du Li.
It was as if a skilled craftsman had carved it according to Du Li's likeness.
That was odd.
Lin Jin used his psychic power to look at Du Li again and realized that his remnant soul was beginning to dissipate.
At that moment, Lin Jin understood.
The fall of immortals was something that happened a thousand years ago, maybe even several millennia ago. Logically speaking, it was impossible for Du Li's remnant soul to exist for so long. Countless immortals had perished and no matter how powerful his remnant soul was, it couldn't withstand the corrosion of time. Of course, his sect's Unending Nature Landscape was the main reason. But there was another reason that Lin Jin only just realized.
Because Du Li's remnant soul was so obsessed that it had been many years since he became a demon.
Du Li's situation was similar to Du Li's.
Now that Du Li had met Lin Jin and was entrusted with a task, Du Li's calamity was resolved. In the Demon Slaying Hall, this was considered a demon slaying. Hence, the demonic jade was born. With the demonic jade, the Demon Slaying Sword could be formed.
This was the value of the Demon Slaying Hall.
The demonic jade could nurture the sword.
Only when there were enough demonic jades could this sword truly be born.
Lin Jin was obviously looking forward to it. None of the items in the museum were ordinary. Once this sword was fully nurtured, Lin Jin had a feeling that his strength would improve tremendously.
This wasn't written down in black and white. It was an epiphany.
Du Li's remnant soul had dissipated. It was truly gone. Lin Jin knew this very well. Du Li was already at the end of his rope. Now that his obsession had crumbled, it was only natural for him to dissipate.
This definitely wasn't a spell or a concealment technique. Lin Jin could tell from the demonic jade in the Demon Slaying Hall that Du Li was truly gone.
But the problem was, there were still many things Lin Jin hadn't asked.
Lin Jin had agreed to help Du Li look after the Unending Nature Landscape and that was his plan. But how was he supposed to store this thing?
Lin Jin didn't have a clue.
Of course, there was a possibility that Du Li didn't forget to tell Lin Jin. Instead, he purposely didn't mention it. Because to Du Li, since their cultivation levels were equal, Lin Jin must have a way to store this treasure.
But the problem was, Lin Jin didn't have the ability to do so.
Also, Lin Jin didn't mention what other treasures there were inside the Unending Nature Landscape. He didn't even mention how to explore it.
Helpless, Lin Jin could only sigh. He would have to take things slowly. Right now, it was better for him to reap whatever benefits he could.
For example, he could learn the Cloud Treading skill first and worry about the rest later.
Throughout the entire process, Hu Yuzhen had been standing nearby with her back bowed. She didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Now that the terrifying immortal was nowhere to be seen, Hu Yuzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know what to say when Lin Jin came over. Lin Jin, on the other hand, remained polite.
"Wait for me a little longer."
"Uh, yes, yes!" Hu Yuzhen was even more respectful now.
Lin Jin noticed it too but he didn't say anything. His mind was currently preoccupied with the Cloud Treading skill.
