Although most cultivators from outside the Eastern Divine Continent probably think it's fake.
But who cares? You may not believe it, but plenty of others will.
With such massive exposure, the stronger Lin Ye performed, the stronger the Dynasty Rules were fed back; because the Dynasty Rules became stronger, he performed even stronger...
This brings us closer and closer to achieving ascension to the heavens.
This cycle is perfect!
......
The Martial Emperor and Xiao Tun were dismissed, and Lin Ye met with the Nine Tribulations Sword alone.
The phantom of the Nine Tribulations Sword appeared today, transformed into a white-haired cultivator with a cool and aloof demeanor. Her white hair was long and fluffy, with a celestial halo rotating behind her head. Beneath her luxurious purple cross-collar dress, a layer of red rope knots was tied around her waist with silk.
This bow is very much like Zudan's aesthetic.
Lin Ye, who knew the three of them quite well, immediately judged that this must have been a gift from her best friend in the past.
However, the three are currently at odds... Lin Ye doesn't mention this matter.
The borrowed eight-section sword has been used, but there's no need to return it so quickly, since there's no rush even with the Nine Tribulations Sword.
Take it first, just in case Yuan Ting gets angry and sends three or four remnant souls to launch a surprise attack.
In addition, Lin Ye needs some time to check if there are any traces of his battle with Yuan Ting before returning the item.
"Lin Ye... there's something I'm not sure if I should say."
"Please give me some advice, senior."
"I think you should pay attention to Wu Xiangjun."
"Don't get too close to her."
After a long silence, the Nine Tribulations Sword said, "The female cultivators of her era were terrifying!"
Lin Ye felt a sense of familiarity.
I have a feeling that the Martial Emperor said the same thing...
Chapter 459 The Little Poison Immortal's Unexpected Turn of Events (7000 words)
Bosses generally dislike employees having office romances.
Knowing this, Lin Ye was worried that the Nine Tribulations Sword would put him and the Martial Emperor in different groups, and he was secretly anxious.
He decided to change his approach.
"In Wu Xiangjun's time, women were predominantly of the yang nature!"
The Nine Tribulations Sword taught Lin Ye some customs of the matriarchal world.
But not everyone is as easily swayed as she is. Lin Ye responded politely, but her expression didn't seem serious.
The Nine Tribulations Sword realized that although Lin Ye was very polite, he did not take it seriously, as if he was thinking about something more serious.
In this way, Nine Tribulations Sword shook her head slightly; if she said anything more, it would seem too deliberate.
She could only sigh inwardly: This man...
It seems so!
Upon first seeing Lin Ye beneath his armor, the Nine Tribulations Sword noticed that his aura was somewhat similar to a combination of his former good friends, Zu Dan and Di Yan!
There's nothing strange about this.
Lin Ye's body possesses both the properties of a tonic and the unique fire derived from Di Yan.
It was only a vague resemblance, but it still left the Nine Tribulations Sword feeling melancholy.
Moreover, what level of tonics are Ancestral Pill and Emperor Flame? How could Lin Ye, with his cultivation level, have such a similar attraction to them?
The Nine Tribulations Sword couldn't help but want to remind him.
Seeing that Lin Ye didn't care, Nine Tribulations Sword felt a little irritated and stood up, saying, "When you're done using it, put it back with your colleagues. Don't make me rush you."
"I have to go now."
"Congratulations, senior!"
After the Nine Tribulations Sword had gone far away, Lin Ye breathed a long sigh of relief.
All the other colleagues are freezing.
This means it doesn't need to be returned so quickly.
This Nine Tribulations Sword can remain intact for a very long time.
This greatly increased his sense of security.
Pushing open the door to the secret realm, Wu Xiangjun was waiting outside, extending her hand:
"Fellow Daoist Lin, let's go!"
Lin Ye could cross the Boundary Sea in his Immortal Ancient Divine Formation, but his movement speed was a bit slow without activating additional energy, so the Martial Emperor came to pick him up.
Lin Ye readily accepted, and was dragged by the Martial Emperor across the Boundary Sea, heading back towards the Little Immortal Court.
"How is Yuan Ting?"
"Killed."
The Martial Emperor's eyes lit up: "So fast!"
"I destroyed two of his souls," Lin Ye said calmly.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, you have truly done me a great favor!"
Wu Xiangjun was sweating a little.
The hardest debt to repay is that of a beautiful woman! Fellow Daoist Lin is too swift in killing; eliminating Yuan Ting was originally my responsibility.
Lin Ye said, "Let's talk somewhere else."
.......
The final cleanup work for the battle against Yuanting is not yet complete.
Inside the cave, Lin Ye held the little emperor and waited for a while before shaking his head and saying, "It seems Yuan Ting won't be coming."
The young emperor said, "It's a pity we couldn't kill him sooner."
Lin Ye said, "This is not something to regret for Master."
The Lord of the Great Wilderness revealed a calm smile.
She was willing to pay a heavy price for Lin Ye... perhaps more than she could have imagined.
The battle with Yuan Ting is worth reviewing for both master and disciple.
It seems that the Nine Tribulations Sword had already been wary of the mysterious Wu Xiangjun and had even revealed some information to Lin Ye.
But she wasn't vigilant enough.
After all, the Martial Emperor had some "underhanded tricks"!
At her peak, the Martial Emperor was even stronger than the Nine Tribulations Sword. She was able to secretly refine the nine sections of the sword while the Martial Emperor was seriously injured.
Yuan Ting's underhanded tactics were even more cheating.
The power of the Dao is very mysterious, not to mention the combination of the Dao of Time and Space. There is too little information in the battle, so it is actually very difficult to see Yuan Ting's true trump card.
'But I've already witnessed some manifestations of the laws of space and time within the static space of the immortal artifact...'
'I think he could raise his bet at any time.'
'What initially resided in the immortal artifact space was perhaps merely a remnant soul.'
'But by utilizing the spacetime principle, one can instantly increase one's chips to two!' Even now, when Lin Siye recalls it, her heart still races.
The three souls and seven spirits are Yuan Ting's irreplaceable bargaining chips.
If Yuan Ting's flesh and blood could utilize the power of the Dao, that piece of rotten flesh wouldn't have been able to hold out against the old demon emperor for so long.
It is evident that the renewable flesh and blood of the Abyss has limited power in certain aspects.
The three souls and seven spirits, which cannot be regenerated, are aptly described as the ten chips of Yuan Ting.
Before the battle even began, Yuan Ting had already lost a bargaining chip due to insufficient preparation for the Nine Tribulations Sword.
In the frozen space-time of the immortal artifact, the "two souls" that Yuan Ting mentioned during his conversation with Lin Ye had already revealed Yuan Ting's psychological bottom line.
This stalemate with Lin Ye will at most result in gambling with two more souls!
Yuan Ting had just been threatened by Lin Ye with the Quasi-Emperor Nine Tribulations Sword, so how could he dare to put all his eggs in one basket in front of Lin Ye?
But what if, what if?
The risk aversion that Yuan Ting revealed when confronting Lin Ye was all false information!
The probability is too low for a million-year-old immortal, but it has to be taken into consideration.
During his battle with Yuan Ting, Lin Ye primarily showcased the power of the Nine Tribulations Sword, and Yuan Ting's focus on Lin Ye himself didn't increase further—but what if, even so, Yuan Ting were to increase his stakes...?
He's too dangerous!
However, given Yuan Ting's audacity, he would be playing right into Lin Ye's hands.
If it were three chips, Lin Ye could still escape.
If it were four chips, the Nine Tribulations Sword hilt might even be damaged, but it would still give Lin Ye the opportunity to switch timelines.
If it's five chips, or even more, Yuan Ting has gone mad... If that happens, the only thing we can do is ask the Lord of the Great Wilderness to abandon the entire world!
The master of the material path has fully returned to this world.
Even Yuan Ting's remnant soul was powerless to resist.
Faced with the gap between the Dao and the Great Dao, space will be reduced to the sum of material connections, and time will be nothing more than a description of the movement of matter.
In situations where the Great Wilderness Lord needs to intervene, Yuan Ting has already staked five souls, or even more. Since Lin Ye had previously severed one of his souls, he now has at most four of his three souls and seven spirits remaining.
The fourth path has reached the critical point where Lin Ye can guarantee safety.
This number is extremely important!
So, what's the cost?
The Lord of the Great Wilderness has no way of leaving the four continents, the Great Wilderness, and the place where the two meet.
In other words, she is a bound goddess and cannot travel to the universe in a magical artifact like others.
We must involve the whole world!
To propel the four continents forward is a feat far beyond what ordinary cultivators in the mortal realm could achieve.
There are two necessary prerequisites.
One is the most suitable path for driving the world [the Material Path], and the other is to use the power of the Great Wilderness as a source of power.
If the Dharma body of the Lord of the Great Wilderness returns to the Four Continents, the connection between the Great Wilderness and the Four Continents will be instantly severed.
The Great Wilderness will soon be gone!
Having lost his homeland and unable to exert his full power, the emperor never again had the chance to reach the entire world...
However, the Lord of the Great Wilderness did not hesitate.
After hearing Lin Ye relay information about Yuan Ting through divine sense, she decided that she could give up her future for him at any time.
Fortunately, in the end, Yuan Ting only dared to put up two chips.
For Lin Ye, this was a safe and good outcome.
"If anything happens to Master, I will send you to the ends of the earth."
Lin Ye said in a deep voice, "Definitely!"
The young emperor leaned against him, his heart filled with turmoil, and said, "Yes, I believe you."
If Master is truly no longer able to move the world, Lin Ye will find a way.
But he also found it very difficult.
In the Star Alliance timeline, the [Child of Two Realms] lies quietly asleep within the legacy of the Tianbao World.
Lin Ye immediately thought that this might be a breakthrough.
