"What's the matter?"

The senior sister Xu Qingyao saw Lin Jing's expression suddenly change dramatically as he looked in a certain direction, and couldn't help but ask.

She followed Lin Jing's gaze but found nothing.

However, she could sense that in another direction, there were unknown powerful individuals secretly observing this place.

This wasn't surprising; with so many Demon Emperors descending upon the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect so flamboyantly, it would surely attract the cautious attention of local strong cultivators.

"It feels like my Illusion Technique has been seen through." Lin Jing transmitted this thought to his senior sister.

"Who can see through even your illusion techniques..." Xu Qingyao paused. She was aware of Lin Jing's prowess in illusion techniques, and besides, with the stealth demon pill she provided, even the Void Profound couldn't see through him!

"Wait... Thousand Illusions Mountain." The senior sister suddenly realized something.

Lin Jing also had this conclusion: "In this Senluo Dao, the only one capable of seeing through my illusion is probably the ancestor of Thousand Illusions Mountain. I thought that after forming the 'Technique Elemental Spirit Embryo', I could fool her, but it seems her mastery in illusion is indeed at the level of forming a 'Technique Elemental Spirit Embryo', or she may have even cultivated a true 'Illusion Technique Elemental Spirit'."

Xu Qingyao recalled: "Before planning to annex the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, I had investigated the situation of Senluo Dao. The ancestor of Thousand Illusions Mountain is indeed a genius in illusion, born with an illusory body, mana originally possessing illusion traits, and even had mesmerizing eyes during her mortal years. Once she achieved mastery, no one dared to offend her, because even those one or two realms above couldn't find her whereabouts."

"This is precisely the reason Thousand Illusions Mountain has stood tall for a thousand years. Even the Void Profound powers dare not underestimate it. After all, facing an illusion master, even if a Void Profound Great Cultivator isn't afraid, lacking a countermeasure would be a nightmare for the low-level cultivators within their power."

"I kindly request my senior sister to go to Thousand Illusions Mountain with me once more!" Lin Jing intended to investigate further.

Their spiritual exchange was swift. After delegating the management of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect to Elder Li and having the Demon Emperor's guardians standby to protect the sect, now devoid of its sect-defending treasure, they turned towards Thousand Illusions Mountain.

This move directly startled the Sect Leader of the Flower Sect, wondering if the Demon Court intended to annex Thousand Illusions Mountain after the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

Could they be planning to annex the entire Senluo Dao?

......

At Thousand Illusions Mountain, the old ancestor Huanli, after returning to the sect, regretted her curiosity in glancing over, and before she could think of a countermeasure, two familiar auras had already descended upon Thousand Illusions Mountain.

Thousand Illusions Mountain's Sect Leader Huan Gongming was shocked, and just as he intended to go out and investigate, the voice of the ancestor Huanli reached his ears.

"Gongming, stand back; I'll handle this."

"Yes, Ancestor." Huan Gongming retreated and entered the core area of the Sect Protection Array, awaiting the outcome of the negotiation.

Outside the mountain, Huanli smilingly flew into the air and looked at the arriving Xu Qingyao and Lin Jing.

"I wonder what brings Her Highness the Third Saintess of the Demon Court to Thousand Illusions Mountain?"

"Senior sister, it's her." Lin Jing confirmed: "Clearly over a thousand years old, yet still looks like a little girl. The main point is that I can sense she's in an illusion form, yet can't see through her true form beneath the illusion. Her mastery of illusion is definitely above mine."

"Thousand Illusions Venerable, you know too much. It seems today... wait, what's a little girl?" The senior sister Xu Qingyao glanced sharply at the old ancestor of Thousand Illusions Mountain, then asked Lin Jing.

"Uh, it's about the same as a small girl; it's a saying from our hometown."

"I see." The senior sister nodded.

"Damn, do you even have any principles?" The old ancestor of Thousand Illusions Mountain suddenly cursed and said, "I just looked a few more times. Do you really plan to annex Thousand Illusions Mountain, just like the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect?"

"I'm telling you, Thousand Illusions Mountain isn't as easy to bully as the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect...."

"Moreover, this kid sneaked into Thousand Illusions Mountain to learn Secret Techniques, and I haven't even said anything."

As Xu Qingyao said, the ancestor of Thousand Illusions Mountain indeed had more confidence than the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, facing the strong, could only accept its fate and couldn't resist.

But Thousand Illusions Mountain is different. The ancestor's illusion techniques are unparalleled, and if she truly wishes to hide or escape, few could catch her unless the strongest intervened.

"Ancestress, no need to be nervous. I indeed studied the spells of Thousand Illusions Mountain, but how can that count as learning in secret when I'm still a disciple of Thousand Illusions Mountain to this day. Are you not acknowledging me as a disciple?" Lin Jing chuckled.

The old ancestor of Thousand Illusions Mountain twitched, not daring to acknowledge this disciple.

If it became known that Lin Jing had apprenticed at Thousand Illusions Mountain, would there still be peace for Thousand Illusions Mountain?

The Yin Corpse Sect, Gu God Sect, Celestial Lion Race—none were forces that Thousand Illusions Mountain could afford to offend.

Indeed, the Demon Court... was also not something Thousand Illusions Mountain dared to offend, because she vaguely recalled, within the Demon Court there was a race named Bi Yi, which also excelled in illusion techniques. Although she was very confident in her illusion techniques, she dared not underestimate these illusion masters among the demon beasts.

The main point was, at Lin Jing's young age, his proficiency in illusions was close to hers, and she couldn't predict to what level his illusion prowess might reach in the future.

"You better leave; I saw nothing, know nothing. Hereafter, Thousand Illusions Mountain plans to seal the mountain for five hundred years and will not concern itself with worldly matters." The old ancestor Huanli waved her hand to dismiss them.

"That won't do." Xu Qingyao pondered for a moment, then said: "Thousand Illusions Venerable, I see Thousand Illusions Mountain is lacking successors. In a thousand years, you haven't had a disciple with the potential for Divinity Transformation like yourself. Why not continue to acknowledge him as a disciple of Thousand Illusions Mountain and let him inherit the mountain in the future? With his talent in the Illusion Beast Dao, he surely won't disgrace the name of Thousand Illusions Mountain."

"At your age, you should give up mundane affairs and focus on pursuing the Path of Void Profound. You shouldn't be burdened with sect affairs; with your current level, the sect offers little benefit. So, let him take over Thousand Illusions Mountain, and you can follow me to the Demon Court. How about I introduce you to various Demon Ancestors for discussions on the Dao? What do you think?"

"Um..." The old ancestor of Thousand Illusions Mountain, Huanli, was stunned.

She looked at Lin Jing, indeed never having seen someone with such extraordinary illusion skills, and with the legacy of Thousand Illusions Mountain in Lin Jing's hands, it indeed seemed like a sign of prosperity.

Her greatest concern was the sect, and if the sect's legacy could be guaranteed, she could indeed pursue her quest for the Path of Void Profound with peace of mind.

Xu Qingyao indeed managed to move her heart.

"I trust the Venerable is a wise person and won't regret this choice. Following us will certainly be better than Thousand Illusions Mountain developing on its own!" Xu Qingyao laughed heartily.

The old ancestor of Thousand Illusions Mountain's face darkened, thinking, Damn, this junior... Were you just saying the same thing to the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect?
