Now that Lin Ze has found the right path, he must break through to the Soul Realm in the shortest possible time.
To break through to such a great realm, you must find a safe place, practice in seclusion, and then break through.
After thinking about it, there is no place more suitable for Lin Ze to break through in retreat than the Dao Palace.
As a result, a problem arises. If Lin Ze leaves Hangu Pass, he has to consider: What to do with Mo Daofu? What to do with Hangu Pass? What to do with Qin?
Let’s talk about Mo Daofu first. Lin Ze injected the power of the Grandmaster into his body and controlled his vital points before he could control him.
Fortunately, with this method, Mo Daofu was within the range of Lin Ze's spiritual thoughts, and Lin Ze could control his life and death with a single thought.
The shortcomings are also very obvious. Once the distance between the two parties is too far, Lin Ze will lose control of Modolf.
The trip to the Dao Palace was thousands of miles away, and it was impossible for Lin Ze to bring Mo Daofu with him, so it was inevitable that Mo Daofu would lose control this time.
Once Modolf loses control, who can guarantee that he will not be resentful of the time he was held captive and take revenge?
Logically speaking, it would be safer for Lin Ze to kill him directly, but he had to worry about the gains and losses of Hangu Pass.
Today, Hangu Pass is defended by less than 50,000 troops.
If Lin Ze and Mo Daofu were not there, Hangu Pass would most likely fall, whether Xiang Ji took action himself or another large army attacked.
Hangu Pass has been broken, and the middle of the pass is flat. All the way to Chang'an, there will be no danger to defend.
Without Lin Ze's suppression and the defeat of Hangu Pass, Qin would have been almost destroyed.
After thinking over and over, Lin Ze came up with such a strategy, using freedom as bait to induce Mo Daofu to willingly guard Hangu Pass.
This strategy is actually not complicated. The core lies in whether Modolf is really afraid of death.
As long as he is afraid of death enough, Lin Ze is not worried that he will escape early, or even after a month.
If you escape, you may be free, or the result may be worse. If you don't escape, although you may not be free, the situation will not become worse.
If Modolf was afraid of death, he simply couldn't afford the risk of escaping.
Just like some people in later generations, even though they are being squeezed by the company and living a hard life, they still dare not resign easily.
Resigning means there is no way out, and they cannot afford the risk.
…
This time when he came to the Taoist Palace, Lin Ze looked much more low-key. His large black robe and bamboo hat covered his figure and most of his face.
Lin Ze met Xuan Ming under the transmission from Dao Palace disciples.
Xuan Ming's condition didn't look very good, and his face showed fatigue.
However, when he saw Lin Ze, Xuan Ming still smiled happily and welcomed him in.
The two walked side by side for a while, and Xuan Ming suddenly said with emotion: "Thanks to the sages' previous analysis and inferences, the Taoist Palace avoided a big trouble."
Lin Ze thought for a moment and understood what Xuan Ming was referring to, and couldn't help but ask: "Oh, the murderer of Taoist Priest Qingyuan has been found?"
Xuan Ming shook his head and said: "How can it be so easy? I just blocked the mouths of those Taoist branches overseas."
Facing Lin Ze, Xuan Ming didn't want to hide anything at all, and recounted what happened during this period.
A few months ago, Xuan Ming, who got the rosary from Lin Ze, did not immediately contact Biyou Palace to inform the other party of the matter, but planned to continue investigating for a while.
From Xuan Ming's point of view, after all, Lin Ze was just guessing without substantial evidence, so it seemed a little unreasonable to directly focus the suspicion on Buddhism.
This hesitation brought great trouble to the Taoist palace. Biyougong gathered 128 overseas Taoist branches and set foot on land under the pretext of investigating the truth of the matter.
Taoist palaces keep in mind the ancestral precepts, so naturally they are not willing to let overseas Taoist sects stay attached to them.
Xuanming hurriedly took out the rosary and handed it to the contemporary master of Biyou Palace as evidence of suspicion.
After giving an explanation to Biyou Palace, Taoist Palace began to actively drive away Taoist branches other than Biyou Palace. The reason was that Buddhism was not weak and so many Taoist branches investigating Buddhism would easily lead to a war between Buddhism and Taoism.
As for the Biyou Palace, it is the master of suffering, and it is not easy for the Dao Palace to drive people away directly.
In the past few months, Xuanming has been running out with the Taoist elders every day, finding the location of overseas Taoist branches and "escorting" them away.
There will inevitably be some friction during this period, and at the same time, Dao Sect and Xuan Ming are too embarrassed to kill, which is why they are so exhausted.
I heard that Lin Ze came here to practice in seclusion and wanted to get Shuzheng's permission.
Xuan Ming directly waved his hand and said: "As for the palace master, the sage will not be able to see him in a short time. In the past few days, he has followed the master of Biyou Palace to find the place where Qingyuan died. He said that he performed the hexagram there.
It will be easier to find the real murderer. As for the retreat place, what did the sage think of it last time?"
"Plantation?" Lin Ze thought of his breakthrough to the Grand Master, which seemed to be there.
Xuan Ming nodded and said: "Yes, if it is there, I don't have to wait for the palace master to come back. I can make the decision to let the sages pass."
Lin Ze smiled brightly and said, "In that case, I'll trouble the elders."
"Then I won't waste the time of the sages. Please come, sages."
Following Xuan Ming, Lin Ze once again came to the cave containing the divine spring.
Last time, Lin Ze even tried a sip of the divine spring, which was indeed sweet.
After sending Lin Ze to him, Xuan Ming said "sorry" and left in a hurry, driving the 128 branches back overseas, which was enough to make him miserable.
Lin Ze first inspected the cave carefully, and then changed the formation to cover the cave layer by layer.
No matter what, safety comes first.
If it wasn't for safety, why would Lin Ze go to all the trouble to come to the Dao Palace?
The soul-nourishing grass, the exquisite stone with seven orifices, and the relics of powerful Buddhists were placed in front of Lin Ze one after another.
What he has to do now is to choose one of the three treasures to break through to the pinnacle of the Grandmaster realm.
After thinking about it, Lin Ze finally chose the Buddhist relic that contained the most energy among the three treasures.
Buddhist skills are extremely special. When most Buddhist warriors die, they will leave behind a relic related to their own cultivation.
What's even more special is that the Buddhist relics generated by warriors below the Grandmaster level and those above the Grandmaster level are different.
The relics below the Grandmaster level only contain about 10% of the warrior's previous cultivation, while those above the Grandmaster level only contain 10%.
In other words, as long as someone can perfectly refine the relic in front of Lin Ze, he can advance all the way to the Soul Realm without any barriers.
It's just that this rarely happens, because those below the master level simply cannot bear this energy.
If you are above the master level, you will be concerned that the energy in the relics will not fit with you. If you really want to absorb it all, it is almost equivalent to cutting off the way forward.
So regardless of whether the relic has the most energy, to Lin Ze, it is the most useless.
Before Lin Ze could absorb this relic, he had to, with the assistance of Xiao Jin, expel the mottled power and consciousness inside, leaving only the purest energy.
An hour later, Lin Ze, who had exhausted more than half of his master's power, successfully completed the "purification" of the relics.
At this time, less than 20% of the energy stored in the relic is left.
Lin Ze did not rush to absorb it, but instead sat in meditation, running the exercises to restore himself to his best condition.
To break through the realm, the most fearful thing is to be impatient.
Half an hour later, Lin Ze returned to normal. Without any hesitation, he grabbed the relic and absorbed all the energy inside.
To break through the realm, break when you must, without hesitation.
With the help of this pure energy, it only took Lin Ze a quarter of an hour to fuse the last two divine thoughts and break through to the pinnacle of the Grandmaster realm.
