In an inn, Lin Xun was bidding farewell to Mi Wuya and Yan Yurou. From Wen Shaoheng's valuables, Lin Xun had found a solution to the Total Destruction Invocation and used it to remove the shackles on Mi Wuya’s and Yan Yurou’s souls. They were now free. The two were so grateful that they insisted on accompanying Lin Xun on his next journey as his subordinates, looking like they wanted to go through fire and water for him. However, Lin Xun refused. He didn't want them to be implicated because of their relationship with him. Moreover, he didn’t dare to guarantee that he would be able to shelter them from the dangers on the journey ahead. In the end, he left by himself. The City Lord’s Residence was cold, empty, and a complete mess. The soldiers stationed in it had all fled after the fall of Heng Tianshuo. In the central area of the City Lord’s Residence, there was a huge, ancient training ground. Following the green sparrow's guidance, Lin Xun arrived here. In this ancient training ground, there was a teleportation array. By embedding ten star sources into it, one would be transported from Origin City to an ancient ruin called ‘Thousand Star Shoal.’ After passing Thousand Star Shoal and over ten different battlefields, one would arrive at the next Immortal Heavenly Pass. For Lin Xun, it was most urgent to leave as soon as possible. After all, the death of Heng Tianshuo was bound to cause an unpredictable upheaval, likely having alerted the Heng Clan. Similarly, word of Wen Shaoheng's death would inevitably get out. This meant that the longer Lin Xun stayed in Origin City, the more dangerous his situation would be! Lin Xun had just entered the ancient training ground when a clear and pleasant voice rang out. He looked over and saw Xiang Xiaoyuan and Yue Duqiu walking toward him together. “You two are inviting me to travel with you?” Lin Xun was taken aback after hearing what they had to say. “Precisely.” Xiang Xiaoyuan nodded and gazed at Lin Xun with a strange light in her eyes. “I just killed Heng Tianshuo and Wen Shaoheng, which is equal to offending both the Wen and Heng Clans. Aren't you guys worried that you’d draw fire to yourselves?” Lin Xun was amused. “If one constantly looks around in fear, then it's simply impossible for them to kill their way out of the Great Thousand Battle Domain and enter the Eternal True Realm alive.” Xiang Xiaoyuan's eyes twinkled as she smiled faintly. Yue Duqiu also nodded. Lin Xun thought about it before taking the offer, “Alright, if we can meet again at the ninth Immortal Heavenly Pass, then I will not turn down your gracious invitation.” After saying that, he waved his sleeve. Ten star sources flew out and embedded themselves in different spots of the ancient training ground. An obscure spatial fluctuation tumbled and wrapped around Lin Xun. He disappeared the next second. “Let us leave as well,” said Yue Duqiu. Experts who arrived in this city before Lin Xun had left to embark on their journey after collecting ten star sources. Meanwhile, those who had not collected enough could only remain in the city and wait for the next test. Xiang Xiaoyuan nodded and hit the road with Yue Duqiu. On the journey of cultivation, Emperor daos constantly clashed, and the strong were always on the road! After the departure of another batch of Great Emperors, Origin City looked visibly cheerless. However, Lin Xun was still the hottest topic of discussions on the streets and alleys. Perhaps in the countless moons to come, the events of today would continue to circulate. Cultivators who would arrive at the first Immortal Heavenly Pass were also destined to hear about the legendary name of Ling Xuanzi. Thousand Star Shoal was a relic world that resembled a sandy beach, except that it was full of huge, barren star remains. Lin Xun arrived at this place about an hour later. He found a huge, random piece of a broken star to sit down on and began to sort out the spoils of war. His killing spree had started since leaving the Trial World. He had first exterminated Heng Zhan and his guards, then entered Origin City where he had crushed nearly a hundred guards around the City Lord’s Residence, and following that he had executed the Seven Sinners one by one. Next, he had killed his way to the City Lord’s Residence, then executed Heng Tianshuo and Wen Shaoheng one after another. The process was bloody, but the harvest was bountiful. Over fifty Yellow Spring Beads had been collected! In addition to this, there was also a spectacular number of first-grade cosmic origin crystals that boosted the total amount in his collection to twenty-eight million. Heng Tianshuo's belongings made the biggest contributions. During his reign as the lord of Origin City, this old timer had embezzled an untold amount of wealth. He possessed over eleven million first-grade cosmic origin crystals alone! Putting aside the Yellow Spring Beads and cosmic origin crystals, the loot of other treasures such as Emperor-grade tools, divine materials, resources, pills, books of cultivation arts, etc. could be piled up into a small mountain. Of note, all of these had belonged to Emperor experts, so none of them were ordinary. Even Lin Xun himself would have trouble calculating their specific value. No matter what, the current him wouldn’t be strapped for wealth anytime soon! After checking the spoils of war, he summoned the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron and refined the Yellow Spring Beads he had collected one by one. Three more among the nine netherworld runes had coalesced out complete grand daos, all of them belonging to the netherworld in the last epoch. They were the Dao of Judgement, Dao of Incarceration, and Dao of Incinerating Evil. The Dao of Judgement was the most terrifying among the three. Once performed, it would be like a punishment that came from Heaven and decided the beings’ life and death. This dao was categorized as a dao of killing of the netherworld. The Dao of Incarceration was a power that could detain any calamity while also being capable of resolving and confining one’s spirit cultivation. The Dao of Incinerating Evil, on the other hand, was the most mysterious of them. When cultivated to perfection, it would coalesce a Spirit Incinerating Flame that specialized in exterminating all evil and sins! 再加上之前被林寻所凝聚出的拘魂道、十方阎罗道、炼狱道，至此，九条幽冥道纹中，林寻已凝聚其六。 Together with the Soul Capturing Dao, Ten Yama Dao, and 炼狱道(2442), six of the nine netherworld runes had fully consolidated. There were only three left that hadn't been restored of their dao yet. In Lin Xun's estimation, he still needed around forty more Yellow Spring Beads to make that happen. By that time, these nine netherworld runes would most likely undergo a brand new transformation! A long time later, Lin Xun stood up. “Next, I must tread with caution...” The green sparrow had said that killing a city lord would be tantamount to trampling on the rules of the Great Thousand Battle Domain. Meaning, on his next journey, he would be considered a wanted criminal by every organization presiding over the Immortal Heavenly Passes! This consequence was definitely serious and something that had never happened before. No Immortal Imperial power could tolerate a menace, a rule violator like Lin Xun living. However, Lin Xun wasn't worried. If he was wanted, then he could just change his identity. Moreover, he doubted that all the forces in the major Immortal Heavenly Passes would really make a concerted effort to deal with him. All in all, Lin Xun had confidence, and it was impossible for him to back away because of fear. Without further delay, he continued on his way with the guidance of the green sparrow, trekking through different battlefields, going through various trials and battles. He overcame all obstacles. He traveled through the night, wearing the moon and stars on his head. On the road, Lin Xun also worked on stabilizing his cultivation, thoroughly solidifying his seventh realm foundation. It was the conquests and experiences along the way that allowed him to have a clear and profound perception of his own cultivation. If he unleashed it to the fullest alongside the aid of the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron, then in a head-on fight, he could suppress an Ancestor of a Path like Heng Tianshuo. However, it would still be difficult to kill the other party without using the extinguishing law fire. In other words, it was easy to defeat but difficult to kill. Does this still count as breaking the heavenly rift of the realm of the Dao Ancestor? Lin Xun pondered for a long time and concluded that this should only be regarded as shaking it, as he still wasn’t truly able to kill the other party. Yes, in the eyes of outsiders, him subduing an Ancestor of a Path like Heng Tianshuo was the same as breaking a record since the beginning of time, and it could be called an unparalleled feat. However, since it hadn’t been a smooth and steady subjugation, Lin Xun himself thought that it was by no means considered ‘breaking the heavenly rift.’ Of course, this was just his personal opinion. He had no idea that defeating Heng Tianshuo the way he had done was a grand event in the Eternal True Realm that would shake the world for eternity! Treading through rivers of stars and charging through one treacherous battlefield after another, Lin Xun was solo on his constant conquests. With his current cultivation, normal dangers could barely threaten him. Even so, the perils and killings on this path were innumerable. There was a den of evil drifting among the stars that resemled a beehive. Barging into it was the same as falling into a world of countless broken purgatories. In there, one would be invaded by horrible demonic qi. There was a mountain made of a one-hundred-thousand feet tall bone rooted in a sea of blood. Readily, it could reap the life of an Emperor expert without a sound. Only later did Lin Xun realize that it was most likely a beast's tooth, belonging to some divine, powerful beast in the last epoch. There was a berserk forest. When the tree branches swayed, it was like a crazy dance of a hundred thousand swords, gorgeous and splendid and also enough to make Ninth Realm Ancestors tremble with fear. There were many risky areas like those, and there were also even more horrid zones that Lin Xun also had to avoid from afar, not daring to recklessly wade in. However, despite the dangers, this journey had broadened Lin Xun's experience. Everything he had seen, felt, and realized had become a part of his own dao. Finally, three months later. Lin Xun crashed his way through a collapsed battlefield world and entered a boundless heaven and earth. An ancient city stood in this world, bathed in a holy glow and a majestic air. From afar, this city looked like a crouching tiger! The second Immortal Heavenly Pass – Tiger’s Den City! Among the forty-nine Immortal Heavenly Passes in the Great Thousand Battle Domain, Tiger’s Den City was a very ordinary one. It was not a major pass and was far from being able to compare to Origin City. However, its scale was still unmatched by normal cities outside the domain. It was towering and emanated an aura of time. Lin Xun spread his spirit sense and immediately noticed that in front of the city gate, which was ten thousand feet tall, there was a group of Emperor soldiers with a stern aura. Black talismans were pinned above the gate. They diffused overwhelming killing intent, and even from a long distance away, their palpitating blood-red glow was still piercing. On each of those black talismans was a different announcement written in scarlet handwriting. Upon closer inspection, they were all bounties and wanted notices! Lin Xun narrowed his eyes. He had not once seen such a sight in Origin City.
