Chapter 987: Chapter 611: Seven Nights Aurora Sword, Imprisoned Immortal Secret Skill, Seventh Senior Brother

As the water level of the lake continues to drop, Lu Lin becomes increasingly certain of his suspicions.

The sword handle and blade have both been partially exposed.

Just the sword handle alone is ten meters long, and Lu Lin can’t imagine what kind of person would use such a weapon.

After all, at General Mountain, he had seen many cultivators from the Giant Tribe, and even among them, few exceeded ten meters in height.

Just the handle is this long, so it’s conceivable that the blade is at least five times longer than the handle.

Which means the entire sword is sixty meters long.

Lu Lin continues to draw out the ice water from the lake.

Then, he hears Li Xuanjin’s voice ring out again.

"Lu Lin, stop, stop it."

"If you continue to draw water from the lake, you’ll eventually be discovered by Hao Datong."

"Once he realizes something is wrong, he will rush over and kill both of us."

"Oh?"

"Why?"

Lu Lin asked.

The terrain here is complex, and it took him a long time to come in. Even though Hao Datong is a trainee Prison Warden at Imprisoned Immortal Mountain, he merely possesses great ability; it’s impossible for him to have any contingency in a place like this, right?

Could it be... a teleportation array?

But the energy consumed by a teleportation array to transmit small items is already enormous. If it were to transport a person... the cost would be unimaginable.

"No reason, because, he, has already arrived."

Just as Li Xuanjin’s voice sounded, Lu Lin felt a wave of space distortion.

But when he glanced around, he saw no one’s figure.

No, there’s a small crystal stone.

Just when Lu Lin realized it, Hao Datong’s figure emerged from the crystal stone.

"Lu Lin, I didn’t expect you to actually find this place; truly impressive."

Hao Datong still had that classic look, appearing just like a Sword Immortal.

His demeanor was as gentle as jade, and when he spoke, it was soft and gentle, as if nothing could wrinkle his brows.

"Hao Datong?"

"Did you separate your soul and transmit it here?"

Lu Lin had once studied similar cultivation methods.

This kind of soul separation is different from conventional Soul Power casting avatars.

He split his soul directly into two parts, each existing independently.

It could be considered... an avatar.

A genuine avatar with independent thought and consciousness.

He just hadn’t thought that someone could place an avatar within such an ordinary-looking crystal stone.

"Haha, Lu Lin is indeed well-informed, truly worthy of being the prized disciple of General Mountain."

Hao Datong laughed and praised him; without waiting for Lu Lin to reply, he continued, "I heard that Lu Lin is highly regarded at General Mountain, and Lv Potian is even preparing to cultivate you as the future Holy Land Master. If I had met you earlier, I wouldn’t have chosen my Master."

"In a hundred years, it will be Lv Potian’s Hundred Thousand Years Birthday. With such a short time, I can’t continue my arrangements."

"Fortunately, my Master is Lv Potian’s favorite disciple. Having him wish Lv Potian a happy birthday is also a good choice."

"Don’t you think so?"

Hao Datong spoke, his eyes flickering, as if genuinely seeking Lu Lin’s opinion.

"Sigh."

Lu Lin suddenly sighed deeply.

"Hao Datong, as humans, we cannot lightly say impossible. We must have the spirit to go towards danger understanding the risks. If you lack even this pursuit, how could you dare attempt to seize a Holy Land?"

"To be cautious in grand endeavors but forget integrity over small benefits, a person like you, even if you manage to approach the Saint Lord by using Senior Li’s body and spirit, you will ultimately achieve nothing."

"Because, from the beginning, you chose the most feeble and unlikely path to success..."

"Shut up!"

Hearing this, Hao Datong was furious beyond restraint.

Back then, when he became a disciple under Li Xuanjin, he received a similar evaluation.

Li Xuanjin said he was indecisive; even when determined to do something, he would always hesitate during execution, lacking the spirit of a Martial Artist who charges forward fearlessly.

If a cultivator does not even believe in oneself, their future achievements will be absolutely limited.

Later, by a twist of fate, he encountered Imprisoned Immortal Mountain and joined it. Although he ascended all the way to the Star Emperor Peak due to his abilities, this character was innate and unchangeable.

Regarding his chances of successfully seizing General Mountain, there were many doubters even within Imprisoned Immortal Mountain.

But the more this was the case, the more unwilling Hao Datong was; he believed he could succeed. He began preparations early, including making Li Xuanjin take pills that blocked breakthroughs, luring Li Chenggong and Li Chengwu brothers to this place to become slaves to the Sect of Seven Poisons, and during his daily life and cultivation, constantly using his handsome appearance to openly and secretly entice Cao Hui and Ye Xiaorou.

Aside from Li Chengwu and Li Chenggong being young and naive, or other reasons being schemed by him, Cao Hui merely amplified her ambitions, but as for Ye Xiaorou, she was entirely unmoved.

Having no other choice left, he played the dangerous move of imprisoning Li Xuanjin here, intending to use this eternal cold pool to erase Li Xuanjin’s Spirit and Soul mark, to control it with his avatar.

His hope was that at Lv Potian’s Hundred Thousand Years Birthday a hundred years later, he could launch a surprise attack and get the key.
