But Lin Shu slowly dispelled his Wind-Riding Mountain Patrol Divine Technique and came to a stop at the foot of the mountain.
He lifted his gaze toward the majestic peak, which was shrouded in a web of countless clear lights. His breath grew hot.
But that was only if someone acknowledged and remembered his contributions, preventing them from being stolen or forgotten.
The Golden Core Realm Mountain God had actually revealed his Immortal Body, completely ignoring the other two combatants to hunt down the Cloud Dragon Demon Monarch single-mindedly.

’Even Magical Treasures have a spiritual nature,’ he thought, ’let alone an artifact that is clearly a tier above them.’
VMMMM—
With thousands of soul-splits, one could control Magical Artifacts and seize the bodies of others.
Lin Shu didn’t trust the Demons of the Great Shun Dynasty, which was why nothing could be allowed to happen to the Cloud Dragon Demon Monarch.
Time slowly passed.
To Lin Shu’s eyes, the beams of light were no longer menacingly sharp, no longer daring anyone to approach. Instead, they felt almost friendly, as if they were protecting him.
The scattered remnants of their souls flew back and merged between his eyebrows.
He cast a resigned glance toward the sky.
The Mountain God Mirror suddenly trembled, and the blast of Golden Light it had just unleashed veered off its original course.
Lin Shu gradually quickened his pace, his expression composed, without a hint of apprehension.
Lin Shu’s steps faltered. Even holding the Mountain God’s Token, he still felt a pressure so tangible it felt solid when he was still dozens of feet from the mirror.
It was another signature Divine Technique of a Half-Life Immortal Family. The Yu Family’s Wind-Riding Mountain Patrol had already proven its incredible worth, allowing Lin Shu to move through the mountains as if he were a fish in water.
Under the silent night sky, the countless strands of Clear Light Sword Qi parted to clear a path for him.
But how could the technique of the Silver-eyed White Wolf Immortal, a being who held sway over half of Yongzhou, be so mundane?
The Cloud Dragon Demon Monarch had clearly provoked Yu Qiheng’s fury.
Their sharp tips converged like a closing claw. In the gap between these "talons," a simple, ancient Bronze Treasure Mirror floated silently, its surface reflecting the vast landscape of mountains and rivers.
Without a master to control it, the Mountain God Mirror clearly didn’t understand what was happening.
His eyes narrowed, and beads of sweat began to form on his forehead.
He needed to secure a way out for himself.
He opened his palm, presenting the Small Seal to the majestic peak.
He seemed determined to slay the Demon Monarch, even at the cost of suffering grievous injuries himself.
"Hah!"
’Why is he fighting so hard...’
And perhaps even influence the tide of battle!
The next moment, the strands of clear light forming the web all trembled in unison.
From the very first day he’d arrived at Yongzhou Pass, the moment he landed, he had looked up and seen this Mountain God Mirror.
Besides the important goal of earning Merit and Sin Coins, he had another reason for choosing to stay and get involved.
In an instant, three of the five split souls he had just sent out were annihilated.
The blurry figures, invisible to the naked eye, drifted silently toward the ancient Treasure Mirror before suddenly darting inside!
In comparison, the Qi Family Divine Technique, which only served as a method of reconnaissance, seemed far more ordinary and was even countered by the Demon-slaying Bureau’s Profound Armor Immortal Talisman.
A soft, clear ray of light then broke away and descended upon the young man, draping over him like a misty veil.
Another beam of Golden Light veered away from its intended target.
He strode forward, following the mountain path up the slope.
By personally slaying so many Immortal Descendants, Lin Shu had already earned enough merit to secure a firm foothold on this Demon Mountain.
Soul-Splitting Thousand Threads Guide!
Lin Shu kept his Wind-Riding Mountain Patrol Divine Technique at the ready, prepared to dodge a counterattack from the Golden Light at a moment’s notice.
But only by mastering this artifact could he earn the right to even participate in the Magical Combat being waged by the Golden Core Powerhouses in the sky.
Sure enough, the Mountain God Mirror soon returned its attention to the mountains below. Gathering its Golden Light, it locked onto a ferocious Demon General in the far distance.
It trembled as it resisted the gnawing of the split souls, all while struggling to gather its Golden Light to sweep across the forests once more.
What Lin Shu was doing at this very moment was the true application of this Divine Technique!
Lin Shu licked his dry lips.
Golden Light still pulsed from its hazy surface.
Lin Shu’s face filled with surprise as he looked at the sixty Jade Glow Silver Ingots that had appeared beside him.
"This many?"
One by one, split souls began to peel away from his body.
As his face grew paler, three more split souls tore free in the span of a breath and pounced viciously upon the Mountain God Mirror.
"What’s happening?"
To find a sanctuary that would dare to shelter him, even if he incurred the Qi Family’s enmity or was targeted by Young Master Qi.
Now, nearly three months later, he was finally this close to the Treasure Mirror, and a strange excitement stirred within him.
Lin Shu wasn’t the sort to lose his composure at the sight of a treasure.
He held the Mountain God’s Token, possessed Cyan Simurgh Essence Blood, and had mastered Wind-Riding Mountain Patrol.
’Could such a profound Spirit Treasure really miss its mark by that much?’
Bai Hong was fighting with increasing frenzy, which inadvertently gave the Zhao Family’s old master a chance to catch his breath.
"Stubborn little thing, aren’t you?"
Lin Shu looked away and took out the Mountain God’s Token.
The Perfection Core Formation Great Demon, having narrowly escaped death, stared with a bloodless face toward the mountain summit.
He had just felt the Mountain God Mirror lock onto his aura. His heart had stopped, and he had braced himself for annihilation.
On the desolate mountain peak stood five towering pillars of White Jade shaped like ivory tusks.
But he quickly tore his gaze away and looked back at the Bronze Treasure Mirror.
’So what more was there to say? This Mountain God Mirror was as good as his.’
"Don’t be so stingy. I’m just going to look, I won’t touch you."
He stopped walking, sat down cross-legged, and held out his open hands to display the Small Seal in his palm, showing that he meant no harm.
