Lin Ye observed the young Martial Emperor repeatedly on the road and felt confident, his heart filled with warmth.
Empress Wu might be the most powerful chosen one in modern times...
He could create a golden finger for her himself and directly receive a kickback from the Heavenly Dao; he'd make an unimaginable amount of money that way.
Let her start cultivating immortality from infancy!
Chapter 503 The Martial Emperor and His Stepmother's Medicinal Bath, Assaulting the Hehuan Sect (6k)
"Young man, what is your name?"
As Lin Ye spoke, he activated a stream of qi and blood, giving the two girls, one big and one small, a pink casual outfit. It was a matching outfit for mother and daughter, and they looked very cute.
Empress Wu's stepmother isn't very old either; she probably wouldn't even be able to fit into the largest size 1.6m children's clothes without needing to go for a smaller size.
"Senior, my name is Wu Jinping."
She answered softly.
Lin Ye nodded, quite satisfied. Like her adopted daughter Wu Xiangjun, it was a rather gentle name.
The female patriarch of the Wu family just now was actually named Wu Batian!
The scariest thing is that it's somewhat like the person's name.
Lin Ye was already numb and couldn't wait to leave the Wu family.
The girl touched her clothes in surprise, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, her expression one of unspoken nervousness. A
"Senior, may I ask... why did you specifically say you wanted to take us away?"
"I've come to repay a debt of karma!" Liu
Lin Ye gave the perfect answer directly. He lightly stepped into the void, his robes fluttering, and as he rode his qi, the mother and daughter also took flight!
Although Wu Jinping's heart was in turmoil, she tried her best to remain calm, holding her daughter Wu Xiangjun's hand tightly.
Her gaze occasionally swept over Lin Ye's leisurely figure, seemingly one with the heavens and earth, and she secretly marveled: Is this what a high-level cultivator is like? Riding the wind, so carefree and unrestrained, beyond the imagination of ordinary people!
This senior said he came to repay a karmic debt, which must be related to immortal cultivation—five.
This sudden turn of events left her deeply disturbed.
The young Empress Wu stared wide-eyed, looking around as if trying to etch this incredible scene into her heart forever. A gentle breeze brushed against her hair, bringing a touch of coolness and a feeling of unprecedented exhilaration. (6)
She couldn't help but whisper, "Mommy~ Flying so high, it's so amazing!" (vi)
Upon hearing this, Wu Jinping's lips curved into a gentle smile. She replied softly, "Yes, Xiangjun, we are indeed flying. You must remember this senior's kindness! Don't call him 'Dad' anymore..." (III)
Upon hearing this, Lin Ye slightly turned his head, his gaze falling on the mother and daughter, and said, "Flying is merely a basic technique; you will soon be able to do it too."
Wu Jinping's eyes lit up: "Xiangjun, after... after the apprenticeship ceremony, you can call her 'Senior Master'!"
The little martial emperor sweetly replied, "Master~~"
"You have to become an apprentice first!" Wu Jinping said, slightly sweating.
Lin Ye patted their heads and smiled, "Don't be shy."
Wu Jinping nodded in response and took a deep breath of the crisp air.
This senior, no, immortal master!
They actually want to teach us cultivation? Good heavens!
Wu Xiangjun blinked blankly, feeling only happy to be flying in the sky.
With the two of them in tow, the next step is to find a place to stay.
Lin Ye flew along, lost in thought.
He had already chosen a location, but now the circumstances have changed. Should he go and investigate those forces that never existed in history?
After careful consideration, Lin Ye decided to proceed according to the original plan, and the first place he would choose should be more stable.
He arrived at the Wanxian Alliance, the largest power in the southern part of the Yaoguang Continent.
Despite its large size, the Myriad Immortals Alliance is a loosely organized mutual aid group with a peaceful and uncontested style.
The leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was also an extremely easygoing person.
Lin Ye met with the leader and said he wanted to "borrow this precious land for a while".
Given the topic of Lin Ye and the inherent danger of what he was talking about, the leader simply nodded casually, merely drinking tea and chatting, hardly expressing any opinion.
After drinking Lin Ye's tea, the leader accepted Lin Ye's stay, raised his cup to take his leave, and did not give him any proof or status as a guest.
'This leader is indeed as serene as the legends say.'
The leader of the Myriad Immortals Alliance had tacitly agreed to let Lin Ye "borrow this precious land for a while." Although he was not a cultivator of the Supreme Forgetfulness Path, he was quite quiet and inactive.
The leader was shrouded in mist; not only was his face obscured, but even his gender was unclear.
Lin Ye discovered that, since the old civilization had only been destroyed for a little over ten thousand years, many cultivators during this period seemed to be of this calm type, in other words, they possessed "immortal qualities".
This is indeed different from the evil forces commonly found in the later stages of the involutionary cultivation civilization. Lin Ye also felt relaxed when interacting with such people.
The leader, already a cultivator who had transcended tribulation and could ascend at any moment, became even more detached from worldly affairs.
According to Lin Ye's prior knowledge, the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance ascended to heaven when the Martial Emperor was five years old.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance also quickly disbanded due to the departure of its biggest backer!
Lin Ye can take over everything!
And regarding the leader's opinion—leader: I have no opinion.
This leak is too big; we have to pick it up!
Lin Ye smiled with satisfaction.
He carried the mother and daughter, flying over the territory of the Myriad Immortals Alliance. He chose a beautiful mountain peak and blew out a wisp of immortal energy.
As the immortal energy surged, the ground trembled slightly, as if life was awakening. Then, countless runes, invisible to the naked eye, appeared and disappeared in the void. When those runes intertwined, an exquisite cave dwelling appeared before the Wu family mother and daughter!
Wu Jinping and his daughter held their breath, watching this scene with disbelief on their faces. They then cautiously glanced at Lin Ye, their hearts filled with indescribable shock.
This is simply divine intervention!
The cave is made of white jade, crystal clear and radiating a soft light. The cave entrance is carved with auspicious dragon and phoenix patterns, lifelike and showing an extraordinary style. The cave is surrounded by lush trees and clear springs.
Wu Jinping stared at this sudden miracle, speechless with shock. Little Wu Huang also stared wide-eyed. They had never seen such a magical secret technique before. To build such a magnificent cave with just a wisp of spiritual energy was beyond their wildest imagination.
Lin Ye smiled gently and said, "This cave was formed by me using spiritual energy. It is enough to shelter from the wind and rain and provide a quiet place for cultivators to cultivate. You can stay here in peace, and I will teach you and your daughter how to cultivate."
Upon hearing this, Wu Jinping quickly led her daughter forward, bowed deeply, and said with tears of gratitude, "Thank you so much, Immortal Master! My daughter and I are eternally grateful!"
"I will cherish this blessing, cultivate diligently, and live up to the expectations of my immortal master!"
The young Martial Emperor also tried with difficulty to repeat: "My mother and I are extremely grateful... We have lived up to the Immortal Master's expectations!"
Lin Ye smiled slightly and gestured for the mother and daughter to follow.
At this moment, in a period of rebirth after the destruction of civilization, with everything in need of rebuilding, even Lin Ye's aesthetic sense of architecture was ahead of its time.
Wu Jinping was full of praise, sometimes gazing carefully at the well-arranged architectural layout, and sometimes gently stroking the exquisite patterns carved on the pillars.
Lin Ye glanced back and said, "You like it here? Then you and your daughter can stay in one room."
Wu Jin quickly replied, "Thank you, Immortal Master!"
Only after Lin Ye had walked away did she realize how spacious the palace Lin Ye had promised to give her and her daughter was—far larger than their previous little house.
The young Emperor Wu pounced on the bed and started rolling around.
Meanwhile, just as Lin Ye had settled the mother and daughter into the side hall, the cultivation technique he left behind had already caused a huge uproar in the Wu family.
The patriarch of the Wu family slowly unfurled a yellowed ancient book. Although the cover of the book had no ornate decorations, it faintly exuded an ancient and mysterious aura. Wu Batian said tremblingly, "This technique is an incredible skill bestowed upon me by Senior Lin. Its quality is at least at the Heavenly Rank!"
An elder exclaimed in astonishment, "A Heaven-rank cultivation technique? It was actually bestowed upon us directly?"
"This is a secret technique unique to powerful factions..."
"This senior is so generous!"
"It's not just a matter of generosity; there's probably a deeper cause and effect, a major issue at play!"
Wu Batian and the clan elders were having a heated discussion, feeling excited but also chilled to the bone.
About ten thousand years ago, the great calamity that caused the reversal of yin and yang in the universe was so terrifying that most ancient historical records disappeared without a trace.
In an era when cultivation techniques were nearly extinct and their inheritance was as fragile as a candle flickering in the wind, many cultivators could initially only absorb the essence of heaven and earth, cultivating like strange beasts.
Ten thousand years have passed since then, and a new cultivation civilization has gradually developed. Every cultivation method is like a rare treasure, carefully guarded and unknown to outsiders.
This Heavenly Rank cultivation technique is extremely precious. If the news were to leak out, the entire clan would likely be wiped out!
An elder complained, "Chief, you really shouldn't have told us! You've made us live in fear!"
Wu Batian smiled bitterly. What could she say? In fact, she had already secretly kept the two strongest books hidden away. It seemed she was still not cautious enough... not greedy enough?
Lin Ye knew the historical context, which is why he specifically passed down these martial arts techniques to the Wu family.
As a mid-level power, the Wu family's clan records are still incomplete, and the younger generation of cultivators can only rely on scattered techniques to stumble forward on the path of cultivation.
Wu Batian took a deep breath and said resolutely, "This is a very serious matter, and it must not be spread!"
"Fortunately, Senior Lin bestowed more than one cultivation technique. Selecting one Earth-rank technique to pass on to his direct descendants is enough."
An elder's eyes reddened, and his voice choked with emotion: "This technique will surely become the foundation for the revival of our Wu family, passed down through generations, and never forgotten!"
From that day on, the entire Wu family immersed themselves in studying the complete cultivation technique, and the whole family radiated unprecedented vitality.
In Lin Ye's memory, although the Martial Empress in the original history took revenge on the Wu family, she only killed a few people who were related to the deaths of her biological parents and her adoptive mother.
She was quite sweet when she was little.
If it were someone with greater fortune and easier to kill, wouldn't that have wiped out the entire clan?
Once the young Emperor Wu is under Lin Ye's command, he will inevitably become stronger than in the original history.
The Chosen One has many enemies, but the Wu family is a special case. Lin Ye thinks it's possible to slightly strengthen a few of her enemies.
The enhancement of a Martial Emperor by Lin Ye's personal training is naturally greater than the enhancement of a Martial Family by a technique that is casually passed down.
In any case, he will handle this matter.
......
"Um..."
Lin Ye held the little martial emperor's wrist, lost in thought.
Wu Jinping was extremely nervous. After holding back for a while, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Immortal Master... how is it?"
"Hmph, very good, at least your potential is good."
Lin Ye suppressed his surprise and was very satisfied with the young Martial Emperor.
She is only two years old, but you can already sense her extraordinary potential; she deserves the best nurturing.
Although talent is not the only factor that determines one's future, personal effort is also necessary. However, if she didn't have the Heavenly Spiritual Root of the Martial Emperor and the best physical constitution in the world, she wouldn't have gone so far.
Actually, it's not yet fully clear that Empress Wu's innate talent is the best in the world for millions of years!
At this time, the Martial Emperor's Heavenly Spiritual Root had not yet awakened, and no one else knew how talented she was.
Human children have difficulty cultivating because their spiritual roots only awaken around the age of six, which is their disadvantage compared to Lin Ye's clan.
However, it's okay, we can lay a good foundation early on!
Lin Ye then tested Wu Jinping's physical constitution and spiritual roots.
A mid-grade spiritual root with the three attributes of water, earth, and wood—it's quite ordinary, but still much better than Lin Ye's initial state...
Lin Ye felt a pang of emotion.
But her physical constitution was actually quite good, even unusually so.
It's perfect for body cultivation!
However, physical cultivation is extremely expensive.
Especially in the early days of this matriarchal era, there were only rudimentary body-tempering techniques. To forge one's body, one had to rely on rare and precious materials, which was something Wu Jinping couldn't support in the past.
Lin Ye clapped her hands: "Take the child and get ready to take a bath. It might hurt a little."
Wu Jinping was taken aback.
