The fusion itself wasn't very good!
All things considered, the drawings are probably less than 30% complete.
But they really did their best.
Everything will be alright as long as my husband intervenes...
Lin Ye's weapon-refining techniques encompass both ancient and modern times, spanning hundreds of generations. He combines theory and practice, making him the most knowledgeable weapon-refining master. He is the only one who could possibly complete this massive project.
Chu Lian'er has a very high level of theoretical knowledge, but her mastery of classical weapon-refining techniques is somewhat weak, and her practical skills are lacking.
Gongshu Yan was also a master of weapon crafting, but she was a researcher who delved deeply into only a few categories.
We can only rely on Lin Ye!
As Lin Ye flipped through the blueprints, he said quietly, "I'll do my best; consider it practice!"
The two women breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Whether they could repeat the process a hundred times in the end was not important; the key was that Lin Ye supported the plan!
This plan would require a full hundred sets of immortal artifact materials. If Lin Ye hadn't monopolized all the immortal artifact materials in the wealthy matriarchal era, he simply wouldn't have been able to afford it.
The two women were overjoyed that their husbands valued their plans so much.
Before long, Lin Ye was pushed into the bedroom by the two men.
Lin Ye exclaimed, "I'm here to refine weapons, what are you trying to do!"
......
Two days later.
The territory of the Vermilion Bird Clan.
Lin Ye stood to one side, his gaze fixed on the square in front of him.
The White Emperor is teaching the young Martial Emperor martial arts.
Although Bai Huang is a cultivator who plays with fire, her martial arts skills in this life are not bad, which is more than enough to help the young Martial Emperor get started.
Bai Huang has a tall and straight figure, with long white hair that falls like a waterfall to her waist, swaying gently in the wind and carrying a faint fragrance.
The young martial arts master, Xiao Wuhuang, was only three years old, yet he already displayed extraordinary talent and intelligence. His short, shiny black hair was casually tied up with a hairpin, and wisps of hair on his forehead danced lightly in the wind. His large eyes sparkled with curiosity, and his round, rosy cheeks were flushed with a healthy blush.
The little martial emperor learned the moves with great skill, mastering them after just one look and even applying them to other situations. His small body moved nimbly following the white emperor's guidance, his little face full of focus.
"A genius, a true genius!" Bai Huang couldn't help but look at Lin Ye repeatedly.
It wasn't the first day she had been teaching Little Martial Emperor martial arts, but the child's talent always exceeded her expectations.
Bai Huang almost doubted whether this little girl was Lin Ye's biological daughter.
Only in this way is it reasonable!
The White Emperor had previously sent people to investigate the Wu family and discovered that the female cultivators in their family were not skilled enough.
I'm afraid no one could withstand a super furnace like Lin Ye; it's simply impossible in physics... That's good!
However, with such a good disciple, no teacher could help but feel gratified to be teaching the young Martial Emperor martial arts.
Looking at Lin Ye, who was watching with satisfaction, Bai Huang suddenly felt that the three of them were truly a family connected by blood.
She suddenly had an idea: "Jun Jun, would you like to recognize me as your godmother?"
The young Emperor Wu paused, then answered crisply, "Junjun already has a godmother."
"Oh, alright then..." Bai Huang had no choice but to give up reluctantly.
"Why does Master's wife want to be my godmother?" Little Martial Emperor asked curiously.
"Who told Junjun to be so lovable!" Bai Huang smiled broadly and ruffled her hair.
Lin Ye interjected, "Junjun, a teacher for a day is a father for life. In that sense, your teacher's wife is like another mother to you!"
Upon hearing this, the White Emperor felt even more pleased and smiled broadly.
Little Martial Emperor hesitated for a moment, swallowing back the words, "Didn't Master forbid Junjun from calling Master 'Dad'?" Her intuition had always been terrifyingly strong...
After practicing for a while, the Lord of Changsheng Island, Emperor Xia, and the Heavenly Witch came to pay their respects to Lin Ye.
The three of them were Lin Ye's capable assistants. They were once cautious Mahayana cultivators who would never easily approach a Tribulation Transcending cultivator, but now they had been cultivated to be as composed as Yuan Ting, who would not change color when he was in front of him.
However, they each have their own duties, and their simultaneous appearance indicates that something big is about to happen.
The White Emperor also looked over curiously.
The three quickly bowed, and the Lord of Changsheng Island said, "Immortal Lin, the representatives of the Witch, Demon, and Human races have arrived!"
The three clan representatives personally selected by Lin Ye—Clan Chief Dijiang, Clan Chief Qilin, and Sect Master of the Myriad Paths Sect—would meet with Lin Ye from time to time, mostly to discuss the export matters of the Myriad Immortals Alliance.
However, the intentions of the three races are quite clear: they all want to win over Lin Ye.
The united Lich and Demon races are now eyeing the human race with great interest, and all that's left is for Lin Ye to agree.
The human race openly "invited Immortal Lin to succeed as Human Emperor," sending the position of Human Emperor to Lin Ye, a demon!
The world believes that the temporary stability is just the prelude to war, and the three races have been fighting each other openly and secretly lately, which has become very serious.
Lin Ye knew perfectly well that the representatives of the three clans had come to see him together, all hoping to get a clear statement from him.
Chapter 554 Winning Over the Three Clans
"Please come quickly!"
After saying that, Lin Ye sat down to the side and continued to watch the mother and daughter practice martial arts, without avoiding talking to people in the room.
Not long after.
Representatives from the three ethnic groups arrived together.
The sect leader of Wandao was clearly being sidelined by the two people beside him. Seeing this, he simply took the lead, broke through their restraints, and was the first to come to Lin Ye's side to pay his respects.
Lin Ye noticed that the three had engaged in a brief magical duel and turned to look.
"Exalted Immortal."
"Immortal Lin".
The representatives of the three tribes quickly bowed, pretending that nothing had happened.
Lin Ye nodded: "What brings the three of you here together?"
Both the Lich and Demon races now want to attack the human race, and the human race is in a very dangerous situation.
Lin Ye played a crucial role in enabling the demon and witch races to unite, but unfortunately, Lin Ye had a strained relationship with both the demon and witch races.
However, he and his lover, Bai Huang, were both demons.
Lin Ye's ambiguous attitude in the conflict between the three races makes him difficult for outsiders to understand—his position is inherently suitable for playing both sides, making him almost invincible.
The Qilin clan chief and the Dijiang clan chief exchanged a glance.
The former bowed and said, "Not long ago, some strange people and events appeared in the outside world, and there were some strange rumors about the Immortal."
Seeing Lin Ye staring at her quietly, she got straight to the point: "Some strange people who are suspected to be remnants of the Abyss are spreading rumors that the mechanical servants sold by the Myriad Immortals Alliance have internal mechanisms that may go out of control and explode."
Lin Ye was taken aback. Yuan Ting's avatars were originally just the remnants hidden in the seven immortal medicine seeds.
Given the current situation, Yuan Ting wouldn't resort to using the elixir of immortality.
Lin Ye and his group were searching everywhere for the elixir of immortality; jumping out now would be like walking into a trap.
Having hurt him badly last time, Yuan Ting probably won't waste his strength needlessly again.
So, spreading rumors and causing harassment? 7
Lin Ye feigned doubt and asked, "The remnants of Yuanting you mentioned, do they bear any Heavenly Dao mark?"
The Qilin clan chief hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yes, but it might be a forgery; we wouldn't be able to tell the difference."
"Therefore, according to Chief Dijiang's intention, we still need Immortal Lailin to step in and make the determination..."
The Qilin clan chief paused mid-sentence.
Whether Yuan Ting is real or not is not important; the key is to give Lin Ye the power to deny it. ③
Lin Ye understood; Yuan Ting hadn't just been criticizing the Wanxian Alliance's goods this time, but had probably also revealed his deeper purpose.
Representatives from the three clans came to pay their respects to Lin Ye immediately. It is estimated that after a while, the news will spread like wildfire.
Lin Ye chuckled and said, "Did he also say that I want to rule the world? Did he also say that the products of the Myriad Immortals Alliance are a means for me to coerce the world?"
Yuan Ting is just causing trouble!
With a genius like Lin Ye, no one would think he could possibly be content with a quiet life.
Almost everyone believes that Lin Ye will have to eliminate at least one of the three races—the Witch Clan, the Demon Clan, and the Human Clan—in the coming years.
But what if we go even further...?
He waved his hand: "It's just nonsense. We just need to ignore it, and it will gradually subside."
After a moment of silence, the Qilin Clan Chief shook his head and said, "Immortal Lin, Yuan Ting also spread a rumor... saying that Immortal Lin's true purpose is to wipe out the powerful figures of the three clans in one fell swoop, killing them before his ascension..."
Lin Ye's expression changed drastically, and he flicked his sleeve, saying, "You scoundrel!"
To rule the world, or to seek what many Transcending Tribulation cultivators possess—these are the two things that outsiders believe Lin Ye’s greatest pursuit in this era!
Therefore, Lin Ye first put forward the former.
'As expected of the master, using a falsehood to conceal the truth, seizing the initiative...' Huang Zhou thought to himself.
As expected, upon hearing what Lin Ye said, both Di Jiang and Qilin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Judging from his subconscious reaction, it seems that his real purpose is more like to sweep across the continent, rather than to ambush and kill cultivators undergoing tribulation as Yuan Ting claimed.
The leader of the Wandao Sect also said coldly, "What that traitor Yuan Ting said is utter nonsense!"
He clasped his hands and said, "I respectfully request that the Immortal ascend to the position of Human Emperor, and the rumors will be dispelled on their own."
Seeing his unreasonable behavior, the Qilin clan chief angrily rebuked him, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, Immortal Lin is a cultivator of my demon race. What does it have to do with your human race?"
The Master of the Myriad Paths Sect did not refute him, but said calmly, "That's precisely why Immortal Lin has already become friendly with your two clans. Now that he has become the Human Emperor, won't the rumors simply disappear on their own?"
The Sect Master of Ten Thousand Paths pressed his advantage: "Immortal, this humble Daoist supports you in becoming the common leader of the three races!"
Lin Ye seemed quite interested upon hearing this: "Oh?"
Both the Qilin clan chief and the Dijiang clan chief suddenly changed color.
Now it's a four-way power struggle, and Lin Ye is also a player on one side, perhaps even the most important one.
The Master of the Myriad Paths Sect has also come to stir things up!
These rumors circulating outside are actually beneficial to both the Lich and Demon races.
Even if Lin Ye really intended to harm the cultivators undergoing tribulation, now was clearly not the time to act. Due to political factors, he had to clarify any unfavorable statements.
Those who offended Lin Ye were the demon clan who betrayed him and the witch clan who already had a grudge against him.
Humans and Lin Ye have no enmity whatsoever!
Therefore, when Lin Ye needs to appease the cultivators undergoing tribulation, he will actually act friendly towards the witch and demon races for a period of time.
The three races' tribulation-crossing powerhouses have different attitudes towards staying in the mortal realm. Staying in the mortal realm allows them to make more preparations for ascending to the upper realm, and tribulation-crossing cultivators generally prefer to stay for a longer period before leaving.
The Witch Clan and the Demon Clan have a powerful combined attack technique, forming an unbreakable alliance. Besides, they are still waiting for Lin Ye's immortal artifact to arrive, so it's difficult to scare them away.
The human race is different. Having experienced the Abyss Crisis and the covetous eyes of the Lich and Demon races, their pressure has reached its limit: they don't have any powerful combined attack skills!
Once Lin Ye begins to befriend both the witch and demon races, human cultivators undergoing tribulation will be so frightened that they will ascend and flee one after another!
The Lich and Demon races could then divide it up without bloodshed; this is the principle of subduing the enemy without fighting.
However, the leader of the Wandao Sect insisted that Lin Ye succeed to the throne of the Human Emperor.
If Lin Ye agrees, then the human cultivators undergoing tribulation will be reassured and won't run away.
Lin Ye seems quite interested in becoming the leader of the three races. Will he just agree to it?
The move to make Lin Ye the Human Emperor was truly vicious!
Lin Ye was looking at the representatives of the Lich and Demon races with a mocking gaze, essentially forcing them to choose between "I will become the Human Emperor" and "Support me to become the common ruler of the three races".
A thousand thoughts flashed through the Qilin clan chief's mind, and he immediately declared loudly: "The demon race will never accept Lin Shangxian becoming the human emperor, and we are not afraid to use force against the human race!"
"Please grant Immortal Lin the title of Demon Emperor."
"I swear to the Heavenly Dao that all races and tribes of the demon race will be loyal to you, and we should support you as the common leader of the three races!"
