Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Chapter 789: Chapter 375: The Sixth Elder and the Venomous Jiao’s Scheme

Just like the Yin Spirit Beast King of the Ghostly Abyss.

"Alright, every time this Secret Realm opens, there’s always someone who acts recklessly. If used properly, this Poisonous Jiao can make them realize the consequences.

Dare to act out again, beware of repeating history, the outsiders from the Outer Sea show no mercy. Remember how the Twenty-four Sects became the Sixteen Sects!"

As the light curtain vanished, the Sixth Elder secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

How did it happen? Second Palace Master, you dare to speak as if you weren’t responsible for designing the revelation of the Outer Sea’s Secret Treasures, leading the twenty-four sects of the Outer Sea to besiege the Outer Sea demon beasts.

In the end, it triggered colossal beasts from the deep sea, causing severe losses to the twenty-four sects of the Outer Sea, indirectly weakening the demon race in the Outer Sea.

Turning internal strife into utter chaos.

"With this life-bound Soul Lamp, it seems this Poisonous Jiao will be manipulated by the Second Palace Master for a lifetime."

The Sixth Elder stood up and looked at the Soul Lamp in his palm, a smile of schadenfreude appeared on his face, since it didn’t concern his own people.

...

Outside the great hall.

Just as Lin Chang’an and Master Tan were walking in, a tall, thin figure wearing a bamboo hat appeared, and Lin Chang’an seemed to sense something, a chill rising in his heart.

Nas... Nascent Soul Cultivator!

Having a cultivator of the same stage visit inside the great hall of the Sixth Elder wasn’t surprising, but the problem was that after Lin Chang’an felt this aura, there was a sense of familiarity.

Why is there a familiar and similar aura to that Thunderous Jiao!

Nascent Soul? And this eerie aura that doesn’t belong to a human cultivator, could it be!

At this moment, Lin Chang’an turned pale, recalling the memories of searching for the Thunderous Jiao in his mind.

This Thunderous Jiao had a considerable number of siblings, and one of them was in the Transformation stage.

That means the one here is a transformed relative of that Thunderous Jiao.

"Two little things!"

At this time, the Poisonous Jiao had a belly full of grievances, and upon emerging, it saw two Core Formation human cultivators, showing greedy resentment for revenge.

Under the cover of this Nascent Soul aura, Lin Chang’an and Master Tan turned pale.

"Greetings, senior."

Facing a Transformed Great Demon, Lin Chang’an and Master Tan hurriedly bowed in respect. However, at this moment, a cold snort echoed around them, causing the Poisonous Jiao’s expression to become extremely ugly.

"I’m heading to your mentioned Ghostly Abyss now!"

Suffocated, the Poisonous Jiao found coming to the land of human cultivators too stifling, unable even to have a bite.

He swore never to cooperate with these cunning human cultivators again.

"Nascent Soul Cultivator!"

Watching the mysterious figure leave with a cold snort, Master Tan broke out in a cold sweat.

While Lin Chang’an looked at the disappearing figure with lingering fear, his back was already soaked.

"After returning this time, all the resources related to the Thunderous Jiao must be fully utilized. If it doesn’t work, let the Cyan-Horned Bull and Phoenix Cry Bird devour them as well."

Lin Chang’an was secretly shocked, wondering how the vast Demon Beast Abyss led him to such an encounter by coincidence.

He’s not willing to bet on a next time.

After the small incident with the Poisonous Jiao, Master Tan led Lin Chang’an inside the great hall.

...

In the dimly lit great hall, the most striking feature was the dizzying height of the ceiling.

Just a glance at it with residual vision made Lin Chang’an’s Divine Sense dizzy, causing him to hastily restrain his Divine Sense.

The ceiling was a deep blackness inlaid with countless twinkling stars, these stars weren’t stationary, but slowly moving along some infinitely mysterious trajectory.

Sheding down a cool, hazy starlight, it enveloped the entire hall in a mysterious, unfathomable glow.

"This is at least a Tier Four restriction!"

As an Array Master, Lin Chang’an instantly judged that this decoration resembling a starry sky clearly surpassed his knowledge as a Tier Four array restriction.

On high platforms on both sides of the hall, hovering starfires never extinguished, their flames flickering as if imprisoned, steadily emitting gentle and cool radiance.

However, Lin Chang’an’s pupils shrank; this wasn’t some starfire, it was clearly Nascent Soul cultivators’ Divine Souls imprisoned here, then ignited in agony.

Beside him, Master Tan seemed to know what had shocked Lin Chang’an, as he had felt the same when he first came here.

"Mr. Lin, these two lit Soul Lamps are the Divine Souls imprisoned here from the Nascent Soul old devils who once killed elders of my Bihai Palace, captured alive by the Second Palace Master."

Hearing Master Tan’s introduction, Lin Chang’an took a deep breath, gaining further insight into the power of Bihai Palace.

The two then entered the hall, seeing the Sixth Elder standing on the second step of the high platform, hands behind his back, wearing a white robe with gold thread patterns of the Bihai Palace elders.

"Lin Chang’an greets the Sixth Elder."

Lin Chang’an and Master Tan respectfully cupped their hands in salute.

"Hmm, not bad, I didn’t expect you’d so quickly reach the level of a Tier Three Upper Grade Array Master. This talent is rare, even within Bihai Palace."

On the high platform, the Sixth Elder looked down at the two with a calm expression, feeling relieved after taking out his frustrations on a Transformed Great Demon.

Unexpectedly, good things just keep happening.

"It’s all thanks to the array inheritance granted by the Sixth Elder; otherwise, I wouldn’t have reached this level today."

Facing the Nascent Soul cultivator, who could take his life anytime, Lin Chang’an bowed his head respectfully, not daring to cross any boundaries.

However, the Sixth Elder smiled faintly upon hearing this and waved his hand:

"Alright, you loose cultivators are always so cautious. I promised you before, and naturally I won’t go back on my word.

Even if you have the opportunity to obtain treasures for Nascent Soul Formation in the Secret Realm, that is due to your own capability. My Bihai Palace would never wrong a friend."

Seeing Lin Chang’an’s cautiousness, the Sixth Elder chuckled; these loose cultivators were all exceedingly cautious, just like the elusive turtle back then.
