Vol 3 Chapter 7: The Illusionary Assassination Hall


    Divine Pine sneered.


    The remnant soul sighed.


    The remnant soul''s tone became neutral once again.


    After a brief silence, Divine Pine suddenly realized the true nature of the remnant soul—it was actually the transformed soul of a demon beast.


    Divine Pine asked. If it had to rely on its own cultivation, it would take at least a few thousand years to reach the Void Mystical Stage. By then, the opportunity would be long gone.


    By that time, the Longevity Body would have been claimed by someone else—not from old age, but simply because someone would have harvested it already. S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Divine Pine had been nurturing the Longevity Body for so long precisely for the Longevity Blood that Lin Jing had promised him upon reaching perfection.


    He could not tolerate returning to the Tianyuan Continent only to find out that Lin Jing had already been by someone else.


    As for whether this so-called failed ascender''s remnant soul would cause trouble in the Tianyuan Continent… Divine Pine couldn''t care less.


    A Few Days Later


    Perhaps due to the Golden Bodhi Tree unlocking his talent, or maybe due to his solid foundation in illusion arts, Lin Jing easily mastered the three illusion techniques he had claimed.


    There wasn’t the slightest difficulty.


    Cultivating illusion techniques felt even easier than practicing Buddhist teachings.


    In comparison, cultivating the Heavenly Demon Physique was like gnawing on a piece of rock-hard bone.


    "When the time is right, I''ll simulate the aura of True Illusion Essence and display even greater strength and talent to compete for the position of Core Disciple at Thousand Illusions Mountain." Rà??????ês


    Sitting cross-legged in his cave, Lin Jing’s eyes flickered with determination.


    These three illusion techniques were never his true goal in coming to Thousand Illusions Mountain.


    His real goal was one of the Core Disciple secret techniques—the Inverse Void Art!


    It contained the principles of real and illusionary transformation, a secret technique capable of temporarily turning illusions into reality!


    However, only Core Disciples could access this secret art. As an Inner Sect disciple, he had no chance of learning it yet.


    Moreover, it was said that Inverse Void Art could only be cultivated in a special Illusory Paradise within Thousand Illusions Mountain—a place just like the Divine Beast Hall, serving as the sect''s hidden foundation. Only Core Disciples could enter.


    As for the other Core Disciple secret technique, , which allowed illusionists to perfectly replicate the presence of powerful demon beasts, Lin Jing didn’t need it as much.


    Just as You Wanli predicted, within a few days, someone from the sect sought him out.


    The visitor was Zheng, a steward of the Illusionary Assassination Hall.


    His purpose, of course, was to recruit Lin Jing into the Illusionary Assassination Hall.


    To avoid unnecessary trouble, Lin Jing accepted the offer.


    Originally, he had wanted to join the Demon-Illusion Hall.


    That hall’s disciples were basically "battlefield reporters"—their tasks mainly involved secretly recording footage of powerful demon beasts, granting them much more freedom.


    But the Illusionary Assassination Hall… it was practically a battlefield unit, constantly fighting against disciples from the Myriad Beast Sect, Flower Sect, and other sects over resources and territories. It was far too high-profile for his liking.


    Steward Zheng chuckled, patting Lin Jing on the shoulder.


    He had high hopes for Lin Jing’s potential.


    After all, even Elder Qin had acknowledged his talent.


    Lin Jing had no other choice. However, being part of the Illusionary Assassination Hall did bring him some advantages—it meant fewer disturbances.


    Clearly, the hall leaders had already discussed among themselves before deciding to recruit him…


    This was exactly why Senior Brother You had advised him to join whichever hall reached out first.


    Now, with no more distractions, Lin Jing could focus on his cultivation at Thousand Illusions Mountain.


    The sect’s core area was hidden within a massive illusionary formation, offering a degree of fate concealment, making it an excellent hiding place.


    This was precisely why Lin Jing had chosen Thousand Illusions Mountain as his temporary refuge...


    Time flew by—one year passed in the blink of an eye.


    Despite constantly feeling on edge, nothing unexpected happened.


    For an entire year, Lin Jing had poured all his energy into cultivating illusion arts.


    Soul Infusion Art, Spirit-Piercing Method, and Layered Illusion Technique—he had mastered them all to perfection.


    His ability to simulate illusions had improved drastically.


    When he first arrived at Thousand Illusions Mountain, he could only maintain his own disguise while manifesting one powerful demon beast illusion.


    But now, after a year of rigorous training, he could simultaneously conjure illusions of ten Demon Kings!


    With these illusions, paired with Spirit-Piercing attacks, even Core Formation cultivators who failed to see through his deception could suffer severe mental trauma.


    However, this method was still unstable.


    Until he mastered "Inverse Void Art", he couldn’t truly fight Core Formation cultivators head-on.


    Wearing the golden disciple robes of Thousand Illusions Mountain, Lin Jing stepped out of his cave and flew toward the Illusionary Assassination Hall.


    With his improved illusionary mastery, his disguise was stronger than ever.


    Since that was the case…


    It was time to take the next step.
