Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Chapter 644: Chapter 321: The Two-Headed Tiger Inherits the Legacy

"Cloud Mist Mountain Range, it seems to be hiding a great secret related to this demonic energy, perhaps even another Yin attribute Fusang Divine Tree."

Lin Chang’an’s eyes flickered, and although countless speculations crossed his mind, he ultimately sighed lightly and shook his head.

These secrets were too far away for him.

Currently, he was just a mere Core Formation Cultivator; even Nascent Souls had perished here, so what was he?

"No need to think too much for now, steadily improving my strength is the key."

Then he sat cross-legged on the stone meditation mat for cultivation, slowly closing his eyes to begin his practice.

...

Spirit Island of the Yin Soul Sect.

"Roar!"

A low, deep tiger roar echoed as a twin-headed Yin Spirit Beast King, who had just broken through to Tier Three, instinctively lowered its head and slowly set foot on this Spirit Island.

The island was eerie, filled everywhere with white, ghostly Yin Qi and ghostly energy.

Occasionally, sharp howls of Yin Spirits echoed from the ghostly mist, and within the island, waves of wailing resounded.

Upon hearing these sounds, a trace of Divine Sense within one of the tiger heads involuntarily shuddered.

This must be the ghost cultivators of the Yin Soul Sect, tormented for over six hundred years; truly pitiful.

After stepping onto the Spirit Island, the massive tiger body walked steadily on the ground, shaking its head, and slowly proceeded to the place rich in spiritual energy.

Unlike Demon Beasts, Yin Spirits do have a sense of territory, but often when the powerful Yin Spirits leave, other weaker Yin Spirits seize the opportunity to greedily absorb the Yin energy here.

When the powerful Yin Spirit Beast King returns, they instinctively stay away,

To put it simply, the intelligence of ordinary Yin Spirits is even lower than that of wild beasts.

Only by cultivating to Tier Three Late Stage can they gradually awaken intelligence, and at Tier Four transformation, can they possess intelligence no different from humans.

Similarly, Yin Spirits also have the innate advantage of long lifespans.

"That’s the valley, the dilapidated pavilion is still there, and the scattered jade scrolls around are such a waste..."

Finally catching the departure of other powerful Yin Spirit Beast Kings, Lin Chang’an drove this Yin Spirit Beast King to this valley.

From a great distance, he saw the once majestic and solemn pavilion recalled in the ghost cultivator’s memory, now a place of broken eaves and walls.

Everywhere were the incomplete remains of cultivators.

As well as jade scrolls scattered over the ground over six hundred years, now covered with a layer of dust.

"Roar!"

With a low roar, the twin-headed tiger beast king shook its head and slowly advanced, its chaotic thoughts gradually adapting to being controlled by another consciousness.

It was as if amidst chaotic and violent thoughts, a sudden awakening of intelligence within continuously instructed it on what to do.

Especially under several danger warnings, it began to instinctively believe, ’this is my own thought.’

It was also because of the low intelligence of this Yin Spirit, replacing it with an ordinary Demon Beast, such a method would be impossible.

This made Lin Chang’an secretly marvel, the predecessors in the Immortal Cultivation Realm were indeed extraordinary.

To think up a method like this, allowing a Yin Spirit to merge with a Magical Treasure, with the Artifact Spirit’s Divine Sense controlling the Yin Spirit Beast King.

Passing by a heap of incomplete jade scrolls, Lin Chang’an restrained himself from giving in to greed and continued moving forward.

The distant floating Yin Spirits, some even powerful Tier Three-level, upon seeing the twin-headed tiger emitting a Tier Three Early Stage aura, merely issued warning hisses.

This was to warn it.

And the twin-headed tiger shook its head, lowering it even more, then began to detour around to find the right place for ingesting Yin Qi.

Previously, this place had a Tier Three Late Stage Yin Spirit Beast King. Since it wasn’t here today, many Tier Three Yin Spirits hurried up.

"There are numerous jade scrolls under the eaves ahead, along with damaged forbidden array flags!"

Lin Chang’an’s shred of Divine Sense remained tense, and upon seeing the damaged forbidden array flags in the distance, his heart couldn’t help but beat harder.

These were not ordinary Tier Three forbidden materials!

Finally found it!

According to the ghost cultivator’s memory, this pavilion was the library pavilion of the Yin Soul Sect.

Of course, he also knew that the core secrets of a Nascent Soul Sect would surely be within the cave of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

But the problem was, the cave of a Nascent Soul cultivator was the place with the densest spiritual energy on the island, now inhabited by a Tier Four Transformed Yin Spirit Beast King.

"Let’s make do; even just these on the outside, if brought back, are enough for me to digest for a hundred years."

Lin Chang’an comforted himself, driving the twin-headed tiger to slowly come to this place under the eaves. Its huge body, with a paw placed down, emitted only a creaking sound.

One could imagine the hardness of this building. Subsequently, the twin-headed tiger lay directly down.

The surrounding Yin Spirit Beast Kings, seeing it lie down, also shifted their gaze away.

Now, within this spiritual energy-rich land, there are five Tier Three Yin Spirit Beast Kings, each with varying strength, all secretly absorbing the spiritual energy while the master is away.

The dual-headed tiger, not fully understanding, instinctively opens its mouth and licks downward.

As a result, where it licks, jade scrolls vanish as the scarlet long tongue sweeps them into its belly.

Half a month later.

Suddenly, a roar erupts, instantly awakening the six Yin Spirit Beast Kings in this spirit land; originally five, but another arrived midway.

Out of instinct, they began to flee, for the Tier Three Late Stage Yin Spirit Beast King, the master of this place, has returned.

As the massive body of the dual-headed tiger rises, it suddenly pounces backward.

Previously, a Tier Three Middle Stage Yin Spirit Beast King occupied the best spot here, an incomplete cave abode.

Clearly, the massive beast paw smashed a large part of the cave abode, with remnants and decorations from six hundred years ago still vaguely visible.

There was even a crystalline skeleton, possibly the former master of this abode, with a storage bag hanging at its waist.

"Roar!"

The dual-headed tiger suddenly pounces, and in the next moment, it opens its two massive mouths, sucking in the jade scrolls scattered in and around the cave, then swiftly escapes.

"Howl..."

However, just as the dual-headed tiger hurriedly escapes, it is met with a whip-like tail strike, sending its gigantic body flying, crashing into the cliff, scattering rocks.

The dual-headed tiger instinctively cries out in pain, only to see a humanoid Yin Spirit Beast King with a fierce, ghost-like face and a tail covered in bone spurs.

It is evident that this Yin Spirit Beast King is the owner of this place, and the dual-headed tiger was the slowest to leave.

"Howl howl..."

Under the powerful presence of the Yin Spirit Beast King, the dual-headed tiger instinctively howls, tucking its tail and fleeing in panic.

The other, with a cold and cruel smile, does not notice anything amiss.

"Disgrace! A monumental disgrace!"

Inside the dual-headed tiger, Lin Chang’an’s consciousness glares with wide eyes full of frustration.

This dual-headed tiger’s instinctive embarrassing behavior was tolerable, but tucking its tail was so shameful it made him blush.

He also memorized the appearance and aura of this Yin Spirit Beast King, intending to kill it and extract the Yin Spirit Demon Pill for revenge if he ever finds it on the outskirts of the Ghostly Abyss.

At this moment, the dual-headed tiger, with its tail tucked, fled in panic, even escaping from the Yin Soul Sect’s Spirit Island, urged by Lin Chang’an to meet him at the outskirts.

...

Days later, on a desolate island on the outskirts of the Ghostly Abyss.

Lin Chang’an, who was cultivating in a cave abode, suddenly opened his eyes, displaying an uncontrollable joy on his face.

The divided divine sense finally sensed something, proving it was not far away.

"Finally, it’s here!"

He had expended much effort, plotting for a year, not for spiritual fruits, spirit grass, or lost treasures on the island.

Instead, he focused on the inheritance in the scripture library, all for this moment.

Spiritual fruits and spirit grass can be bought with spirit stones, and even these lost treasures have value.

But the Nascent Soul Sect’s inheritance is priceless.

Even if he joined any Nascent Soul Sect now, he could not gain true trust.

After all, how could a foreign Golden Core Cultivator compare with those nurtured from a young age?

Half an incense stick later, a Tier Three dual-headed tiger Yin Spirit Beast King appeared on this desolate island.

Once inside the formation, the massive figure vanished.

"Roar!"

However, just entering the Five Elements Maze Formation, it is greeted by a Tier Three Early Stage Cyan-Horned Bull, a Tier Three Middle Stage Phoenix Cry Bird, and Lin Chang’an with Core Formation Middle Stage cultivation.

The Yin Spirit Beast King instantly roars in terror, despite being manipulated by Lin Chang’an’s divine sense, its spiritual wisdom remains, reacting with instinctive fear.

"Alright!"

At that moment, facing this fierce Yin Spirit Beast King, a rare satisfied smile appeared on Lin Chang’an’s face, as the Profound Celestial Mana soothed it.

The violent and chaotic Yin Spirit Beast King gradually began to calm down.

But just as Lin Chang’an prepared to control the dual-headed tiger to expel the jade scrolls from its belly, an inexplicable feeling of dread washed over him.

This flutter of the heart, the chill up his spine, though brief.

Nonetheless, it made him quickly vigilant.
