245: Becoming an immortal is a scam!?

Lin Yuan, suspended mid-air, sneered, "Second Strength Hermit! There are plenty more things that will shock you!"

"Today, I'll send you scum straight to heaven! Then I'll blow up your dog dens so you lonely ghosts won't even have a home to return to!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, large dark clouds above Lin Yuan began brewing massive amounts of lightning.

Under the control of Lin Yuan's Divine Sense, the lightning bolts rapidly descended, striking precisely wherever directed, like guided missiles.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!

Under the dense lightning bombardment, the Tang Clan Disciples couldn't help but close their eyes because the flashes were simply too bright.

It was like someone was continuously arc welding right in front of them.

"Ah!! My eyes!!"

"I can't see! I can't see! Daoist Lin! Please withdraw your Divine Ability!"

"It's so hot! So hot!!"

The surrounding Tang Clan Disciples wailed continuously, but the lower-ranking Hie Ninja around them were even worse off, instantly being electrocuted into charred corpses.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the Hie Ninja were completely wiped out. Tang Bingwen stood frozen in place, watching Lin Yuan slowly descend.

Lin Yuan said nothing, waving his hand toward Tang Yuan. Tang Yuan summoned a host of Yin Soldiers and charged outside to clear out the Kwantung Army.

"Cough, cough, cough... Daoist Lin... this..."

Lin Yuan, looking apologetic, bowed to Tang Bingwen.

"My apologies... Sect Leader Tang, this Junior deceived you..."

Tang Bingwen immediately waved his hand dismissively.

"Tang Yuan and you... are..."

Lin Yuan immediately displayed Pill Devour in his hand.

"Tang Yuan is my Clone. Because I mastered Pill Devour, he also mastered Pill Devour..."

"What kind of Cultivation Technique is this? How have I never seen or heard of it?"

"This is a Cultivation Technique from later generations..."

Upon hearing this, Tang Bingwen was stunned.

"Later generations... you... you..."

"That's right, this Junior indeed came here from dozens of years in the future."

"Then are you a Tang Clan Disciple from the future?"

Lin Yuan lightly shook his head.

"This Junior is a Mount Longhu Disciple. I merely deduced Pill Devour myself after seeing the Pill Devour Diagram in the Tang Tomb."

"Deducing Pill Devour yourself... What incredible Comprehension Ability! No wonder you know Mount Longhu's Thunder Technique! The Luck of Mount Longhu is truly enviable!!"

Lin Yuan smiled slightly.

"That is all borne upon the residual glory of the Seniors..."

"Kid... Is the Tang Clan doing well in the future?"

When Tang Bingwen asked this question, Lin Yuan was momentarily speechless.

After thinking for a long time, he finally told Tang Bingwen the truth.

"Sect Leader Tang, the future Tang Clan has declined..."

"Declined!?"

"How could it have declined!?"

Lin Yuan immediately reassured him, "Because, in the future, we all live in a country full of peace and rule of law, where everyone is equal, and problems are protected by law, so there is no longer a need to hire assassins for revenge."

"As the leader in the assassin industry, the Tang Clan was the first to be affected. But don't worry, Xu Xin and the others are still presiding over the general situation, and the Tang Clan's Legacy will not be severed."

Tang Bingwen nodded.

"Declined? Ah... that's fine too... I really wish I could see what your peaceful new country looks like..."

"Kid... thank you very much for your help this time... I thank you on behalf of the Tang Clan."

"This is what this Junior ought to do!"

...Half an hour later, Lin Yuan's Clone had completely cleared out the surrounding Kwantung Army, and his next step was the Sakura Country, separated only by the sea.

Lin Yuan didn't care if he was in his own past timeline or where he was! The Sakura Country must vanish!! This race does not deserve to exist!!

With this plan set, Lin Yuan immediately soared up, reverting to his original form, and headed toward the Sakura Country mainland.

He officially arrived an hour later. Looking down from the sky above the Sakura Country, he could already see the snow-capped Mount Fuji.

Lin Yuan hovered high in the sky, looking down below.

"Feel the pain!!!"

Boom!!!!

A terrifying bolt of lightning instantly struck the summit of Mount Fuji.

Boom!!

Mount Fuji, dormant for many years, instantly erupted. The violent explosion caused by the Fusion of lightning and magma directly altered the Sakura Country's geological structure... One day later, all the Japanese Goblins fighting in China received an unbelievable piece of news!

Their dog dens... had sunk due to a volcanic eruption... Five days later, Lin Yuan had purged all Japanese Goblins within China's borders and then headed straight for the Twenty-Four Tongti Valley.

Just as he arrived at the valley entrance, he saw a figure appear inside. Although Lin Yuan had never met Rootless Life, his intuition told him this person was Rootless Life.

"Immortal Master Lin Yuan... you finally arrived."

"How much time has passed outside?"

Rootless Life stood where he was and asked:

"It should be seventy years."

Lin Yuan looked at Rootless Life and replied calmly, "Time passed so quickly? Seventy years already? I only arrived seven days earlier than you..."

Lin Yuan immediately looked at Rootless Life in shock.

"Arrived seven days earlier... doesn't that mean..."

Lin Yuan calculated that he had spent exactly seven days in this world. Didn't that mean seventy years had passed in the outside world!?

"Don't you plan on leaving? Are you really not going to care about Feng Baobao anymore?"

Lin Yuan pressed him.

When Rootless Life heard the three words "Feng Baobao," a trace of excitement flashed across his face.

"I know Baobao will be fine. Even if I'm not by her side, she will be fine."

"You should be able to guess that Feng Baobao's body was derived from the Eight Wonders! That's why I'm not worried about her safety."

Rootless Life suddenly pointed at Lin Yuan.

"Back then, Great Abundance Immortal Zuo Ruotong comprehended Reverse Life Threefold to the extreme! It was truly the Peak of perfection!"

"But even so, he still didn't step onto the Path to Heaven. If one wants Immortal Ascension, the Eight Wonders alone cannot achieve it, but the Fusion of the Eight Wonders is the beginning of Immortal Ascension!"

"I believe you must have also glimpsed the threshold of the Path to Heaven, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have come looking for me."

"I erased the True Immortal Ascension Inscription inside the Nine Bending Cave because I discovered a shocking secret while saving Baobao!"

"That is, the Path to Immortal Ascension was personally severed by the ancestors of Huaxia!"

Lin Yuan immediately frowned slightly.

"What do you mean!?"

"What the world considers Ascension might be achieving Immortal Ascension... But among the evidence I collected, true Ascension! Is a massive scam! A scam originating from High-Dimensional Beings!!"

"When I discovered this secret, I hid inside here to avoid being hunted down by those people!"

Hearing this, cold sweat instantly streamed down Lin Yuan's back.

What exactly was it that could force Rootless Life to flee here and hide?
