Lin Qi was eager to act, but the repair of the Heavenly Tribulation Immortal Spring was halfway done. She couldn't abandon it midway.

Even if we were to go to the North and South Mountains, we would still need to resolve most of the Heavenly Bridge Immortal Spring matter first.

When Lin Qi wrote back to Tan Yueqing, she couldn't help but let out a sigh.

At the beginning, when Dan Yueqing was in the Xiaocheng Tianmi secret realm and watched helplessly as she missed many opportunities, how did she feel? She had a bit of an understanding.

Some things are indeed about fate.

When she finishes dealing with the matter of Tiandi Dushengquan, she will head to the Nanbe Mountain Range. If the treasure hasn't appeared by then, it means she still has some fate with it.

If the battle for treasures has ended, Lin Qi can only sigh a few words.

The group from Zhe Yuan left very quickly, probably all wanting to go to the Nanbei Mountains to test the waters and admire the vastness of the Daoist Sea.

In the blink of an eye, only Lin Qi and six Mahayana venerables remained in the entire world of Dùxiān Quán.

After fleeing, Crane Yuan Elder was replaced by another Mahayana Elder sent by the Bihai Pavilion.

This great Mahayana master is very low-key, only showing his face once since arriving at Tiandi Dushi Xianquan.

It also means to avoid suspicion.

In this vast world of the Immortal Spring, only Lin Qi was truly active.

But now that her identity is exposed, she no longer needs to hide and can act much more freely.

Today, the surface of the Heavenly Earth Immortal Spring has recovered a lot, and the difference from before the collapse is not very big.

But only those who have been to the Heavenly Crossing Immortal Spring know how vast the real difference is.

The biggest difference lies in the energy.

Before, under the Immortal Spring, countless spiritual veins converged. Irrigated by the Heavenly River's water for countless years, its spiritual energy was among the most concentrated in Nan Zhou.

But at this moment, it's even inferior to the dense spiritual Qi of Zhonghuai Peak in Tianyizong.

On that day, thunder roared and crashed down, destroying not only rivers and mountains but also the spirit veins and spirit eyes buried beneath the earth.

It's unrealistic for Lin Qi to restore Tiandi Dushian to its original state by himself.

She can only do her best to repair the spirit veins and springs first, guiding the celestial river water back to its normal irrigation route.

As for that rich spiritual energy, it also takes time and patience to cultivate over the years.

Unbothered, Lin Qi cultivated by the Heavenly and Earth Immortal Spring while simultaneously completing her restoration tasks. Time flew by.

Two years passed in the blink of an eye, and the springs of Tiandi Dushxianquan had all recovered. The spiritual veins were also repaired to nine out of ten.

The current spiritual energy density has reached half of what it was originally.

It's going to take another ten or eight years, I think, to get back to the way things were before.

However, this is no longer something Lin Qi can handle.

She did everything she could last night.

While repairing the Heaven and Earth Transcendent Immortal Spring, Lin Qi discovered something interesting.

The initial purpose of the Demonic Celestial Staff and the Heavenly Spirit Staff drawing in celestial river water was to use the celestial river's energy to maintain the operation of several major secret realms within the Demonic Heaven Palace.

So, the rich and potent spiritual energy of the Tianhe Water used to cascade down, but most of it was ultimately devoured by the Heavenly Demon Palace.

This was something that no one had ever discovered before.

Today, the Devil's Palace is shifting, and the water from the Milky Way is being poured into the Heaven-Earth Immortal Waterfall, nourishing a land of spiritual energy at an increasingly dense rate.

If given enough time, it might even be twice as potent as before.

Lin Qi could only sigh with emotion, this is considered another kind of misfortune turned into blessing?

Over the past two years, she also successfully broke through a small level within the Tiandi Dushengquan.

Since entering the middle stage of the Golden Core from the early stage, other types of spells have also made significant progress.

What truly surprised Lin Qi was the appearance of the third level of the Ice Phoenix Sutra on the scroll.

The third layer has two moves: one is swordsmanship - Phoenix's Cry - Sword Sealing, and the other is a spell - Return of the Phoenix Soul.

The former is two sword techniques with extremely strong killing power, the first being Phoenix Cry and the second Sword Seal. One must fully master Phoenix Cry before learning Sword Seal.

Lin Qi pondered the difficulty of this sword technique, feeling that she might not be able to fully master Huang Ti within ten years.

As for the magic — Phoenix Soul

Attribute it.

This is a very special summoning spell.

When casting a spell, it draws on vast amounts of spiritual energy and celestial energy, summoning the ancestral clan of the ancient Ice Phoenix from the void.

Lin Qicai can summon an ice phoenix soul at random with her own power.

Lin Qi took advantage of her free time to focus on her cultivation, reaching the threshold of entry.

When Huang Hun Gui first succeeded, as the door creaked open a sliver, Lin Qi's dantian was instantly emptied.

Finally, a palm-sized baby ice phoenix with incomplete feathers flew out.

Lin Qi's mood at the time was quite complicated.

There's always a feeling of being cheated.

Thanks to the immense lethality of the Binghuang Sword Technique and the Taiji Sword Technique taught by the ancestor Taiji, Lin Qi can now fight across levels at will.

At the same time, her cultivation of the Five-Heavens Water Swallowing Thunder Art reached its first stage of body refinement, which was nearing perfection. She only needed to find another heaven's water for body refinement to enter the second layer.

Later replacement

Oh! It hurts so much!

Lin Qi felt as if her abdomen was being torn apart, the pain spreading throughout her body, even her breath hurt.

She lowered her head and saw a bright red stain on her abdomen, blood meandering down and soaking into the ground.

Her golden core was ripped out!

Jin Wu Daochang saw the blood-stained golden elixir, his pupils jolted, excitedly reaching out from the Taoist boy's hand to grab it.

"Nine Turns Demon Pill... Hahaha, I've gathered the phoenix bone, phoenix sinew, and phoenix blood. All that's left is this one, and I'll have the Nine Turns Demon Pill!"

Lin Qi collapsed to the ground, blankly asking, "Who are you?"

"Who am I?" asked Jin Wu Chang, his face twisted with madness, his eyes glowing red. "Your sister Lin Yun's enemy!"

"Lin Yun killed my whole family. I can't kill Lin Yun, I can only watch her ascend to immortality with my own eyes. So on the day she ascends, I will use the blood of her last remaining relative as a sacrifice to the heavens!"

"Once I refine you into a Nine Turns Realm-Breaking Pill, I will be able to shatter the void and go to the Upper Realm to seek revenge on Lin Yun!"

He had just finished speaking when a deafening clap of thunder shook the heavens above his head.

A deafening roar of thunder shook the heavens, followed by a tremor that rattled the earth.

Jinwu Daochang looked up at the top of the cave, angrily shouting: "Damn it, she's about to ascend!"

He raised his hand, and everything that happened on Wudao Peak was projected into the air.

Lin Qi's missing younger sister, Lin Yun, who had vanished a hundred years ago, possessed an extraordinary and ethereal air. She wielded a long sword, charging into the slashing lightning with unwavering courage.

The celestial thunder that terrified the cultivators was as easily destroyed as a trifle in her eyes.

After eighty-one heavenly thunders struck, a vortex of dark clouds appeared in the void. A path connecting heaven and earth emerged, landing at the peak of Wu Dao Feng.

Lin Yun is about to shatter the void!

Jin Wu Daochang's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets when he saw this.

He was helpless against Lin Yun, so he could only vent his anger on the powerless Lin Qi.

With a huge hand gripping Lin Qi's neck, the man sneered cruelly: "When you die, remember to find Lin Yun for revenge. She's the one who really killed you!"

After finishing his words, he grabbed Lin Qi's body and directly threw it into the pill furnace.

Jin Wu Daochang swiftly pinched out several seals with his ten fingers, and the flames in the cauldron suddenly surged towards Lin Qi.

Both flesh and soul were scorched by the spiritual fire. Lin Qi's eyes turned crimson with pain, filled only with bloodshot redness.

A little bit of life was being taken away.

On top of his head, Lin Yun raised his foot to step into the boundary path.
