I thought it was a deep bond between master and disciple, but it's actually an old man dating a young woman!
No wonder the Lord of the Great Wilderness insisted on protecting Lin Ye; now I understand...
I actually thought I could sow discord between them... I should have given up sooner!
The master craftsman thought to himself: The old demon emperor's seniority has suddenly increased by one...
"Senior, shouldn't you thank me...?" The Human Pillar God beamed and stepped forward to nudge the Lord of the Great Wilderness.
The Sword Pavilion Master, whose reaction time was extremely slow, was stunned for so long before he began to sigh.
I go!
Lin Ye is really something else! He's the strongest cultivator in the mortal realm!
The Pavilion Master of Wanbaolou wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.
A terrifying thought suddenly occurred to him.
The reason why the Lord of the Great Wilderness has not yet transcended the tribulation and ascended to immortality... seems to have another explanation!
Could it be because she couldn't bear to leave her pretty boy... cough, young friend Lin... that's why she didn't undergo the tribulation?
If that's the case, she can't possibly stay in the mortal realm until Lin Ye ascends to immortality!
With the power of the Lord of the Great Wilderness, wouldn't he be able to reign supreme in the lower realms for thousands upon thousands of years...?
The master of Wanbaolou Pavilion suddenly felt a pang of fear.
If this goes on for too long, will the other Mahayana cultivators ever see the light of day again...?
Young friend Lin, you should hurry up and start cultivating!
Otherwise, if your master had reigned supreme in the lower realm for so long, wouldn't he have unified the four continents and gone from being the Lord of the Great Wilderness to the Lord of the Mortal Realm?
But thankfully... it's better than the prevailing belief.
And I'm from here!
The Pavilion Master of Wanbaolou quickly figured it out, and even felt somewhat pleased after careful consideration.
Other quick-thinking cultivators also unanimously realized why the Lord of the Great Wilderness had not ascended to immortality—a question that had been debated by cultivators in the mortal realm for many years.
The strongest cultivator in the mortal realm was now gently gazing in the direction Lin Ye had left, patiently waiting for his return.
But he also seemed anxious, as if he was worried about Lin Ye refusing to let him accompany him.
The whispers among the students of Qiankun Academy gradually escalated into a sensation.
"Holy crap, I have to tell my friend Huangzhou!"
"Let's go to the Realm of the Gods to discuss this!"
There's no way around it; gossip is always a hot topic in any era.
Moreover, this matter concerns the survival of the cultivation world. If this is the truth, the current rumors circulating in the world will be completely disproven!
This new explanation for why the Lord of the Great Wilderness did not ascend is much more reassuring than the old one.
Although this claim still has some flaws, such as the fact that the Lord of the Great Wilderness hasn't known Lin Ye for that long... once it spreads, it will likely continue to coexist with older viewpoints.
But it's still incredibly impressive!
Despite the illogical nature of this expression of gratitude, a small group of monks began to sincerely express their thanks.
Awesome!
You saved the cultivation world!
"Ahem..." The Master coughed lightly, silencing everyone.
......
the other side.
Inside the great formation.
After Lin Ye entered, he felt the aura of the Blood Calamity surging. The power of the Great Demon within him made him feel very familiar with these auras, but they were also somewhat different, as if those Blood Calamity cultivators were not his subjects, but belonged to other Great Demons.
A strange and evil power surged underground, as if it were taunting them!
Lin Ye felt that his great demonic power was almost activated, but he suppressed it with a backhand, and he raised an eyebrow in surprise.
The power underground is somewhat similar to that of a great demon!
But Lin Ye quickly realized that this was not the case.
'It does resemble the aura of a great demon's severed limbs. I wonder if it's bait created by the Master using the barrier, or if he actually managed to obtain a great demon's severed limbs.'
'It doesn't matter. The Great Demon's remains aren't as useful to me as fragments of a fallen god. Keeping such things will only make him suffer.'
"But to fight and devour the severed limbs, I need to transform into my Great Demon form. Master wants to confirm whether I possess the power of the Great Demon..."
"Heh... I'll just ignore it."
at the same time.
The Master also kept a close eye on Lin Ye.
Without a doubt, his claim of losing control of the barrier is a lie!
He needs this to help Qiankun Academy transform, and the Master will always find a way to do this favor.
After owing Lin Ye a favor, Qiankun Academy can naturally transition to the direction that the general trend is following, under the premise of being as smooth as possible.
But the greedy Master did not stop there.
Because of Lin Ye's seclusion after defeating the Great Demon, coupled with various signs that his flames have become stronger since then, the outside world has always had doubts about whether he has absorbed the Great Demon's power.
If this is confirmed, it will be very detrimental to Lin Ye.
The bait that Master set up in the barrier was the bloodline aura of the Great Demon that he had obtained from various sources, and it was a bait to lure Lin Ye into using the power of the Great Demon!
The Master only needs to leave behind evidence, which means he should have switched sides and also has leverage over him as a way out.
But now, the Master's expression was not good.
'They didn't provoke you, they're quite composed...or was it a misjudgment?'
'There are still Blood Plague Infected individuals on the field; encountering them will be Lin Ye's next opportunity.'
Even within the Star of Discipline, I can still...
next second.
Within the range of the Star of Discipline, Lin Ye unleashed his own [Phenomenon]—the Thirsty Tree!
This is the second stage of Lin Ye's strange phenomenon after he has accumulated 10000 experience points and evolved once. It looks like a majestic wooden dragon. The wooden dragon is lifeless and looks like a war puppet with a ferocious appearance.
The lower half is ethereal, while the solid part is rooted a few feet above the leaves.
The power of the barrier is already weakened within the range of the Discipline Star.
As soon as Lin Ye's extraordinary phenomenon unfolded, it created a safe space. Coupled with the cover of a spirit-suppressing array, all methods of observing Lin Ye became ineffective.
The Master closed his eyes helplessly, his long beard trembling slightly with anger.
This kid is acting strangely! There was no such information before!
The plan has completely failed...
.......
The fastest-forming bird in the forest, the Roc, dropped Spirit-Slaying Array Supply Packs throughout the competition area and instructed the contestants to apply the array to themselves before heading to the edge of the array to wait for their departure.
However, within the range of the Discipline Star, and given that Lin Ye is a miniature Golden Core cultivator, the things he transforms into are inherently smaller.
He transformed into a giant roc...
Very small.
It's only about the size of a helicopter.
So when Lin Ye flew up to greet the contestants from the Great Wilderness, the contestants were all stunned.
Is that a roc?
Lin Ye glared and said, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a handsome bird before!"
A junior member of the Golden Crow Clan recognized him and said anxiously, "Your Highness Lin, please see our captain out first. She is not well!"
"I see."
Lin Ye glanced at the girl called the captain and saw that her face was as pale as paper and her body was full of spiritual energy without any wounds. He immediately suspected that she might have been infected with the Blood Disaster!
Otherwise, an uninjured Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn't be this weak...
Princess Huang rode on Lin Ye's back and touched his fine feathers in disbelief.
We're saved...
How can there be such an adorable roc in the world!
This is His Highness Lin.
This is the first time I've seen this; I wonder what the human form looks like...
The girl nestled comfortably against Lin Ye's neck and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Chapter 162 Leaving the Spirit Path, Taking the Blood Calamity With Him
Lin Ye, carrying Princess Huang on his back, thought to himself, 'Whose child is this?'
At first glance, it's impossible to tell what bloodline they have.
'However, I didn't sense any bloodlust within this girl. Is this some kind of incubation period?'
Upon discovering that Princess Huang had fallen asleep on his back, Lin Ye carefully examined her.
'There really is no blood infection...' Lin Ye was stunned.
I'm a little nervous, sis!
As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was perfectly fine, yet he looked so weak that he was about to faint at any moment. Lin Ye had only ever seen this kind of situation in books.
Is her body weaker than that of a healthy mortal?
Lin Ye was very curious. If he hadn't transformed into a roc, he would have wanted to pinch it to see how soft it was.
Unfortunately, the precision of Lin Ye's divine sense within the Star of Discipline was too low, and he couldn't immediately determine the situation: 'It's probably a pathological constitution...'
Lin Ye found him using the coordinates sent by Nangong Chong, picked him up, and smuggled the person with connections out first.
Outside the formation.
Lin Ye led the two out through the small opening created by the Divine Sword Pavilion Master.
"Lin'er! You're out! How did it go?"
"Master, I'm fine."
Both the perception of the strange phenomenon and the gaze cast from above by the barrier were blocked.
The Master had no choice but to abandon the plan.
Moreover, since the formation has been breached, he now has to share the damage, so he can only pretend that nothing has happened.
Not only did the plan fail, but he also had to give away a favor... The Master never expected that he would feel fear towards this junior!
Lin Ye ignored him.
He had no intention of getting entangled with the Master any longer. After these people were rescued, the subsequent matches on the Spirit Road would probably have to be suspended due to the bloodshed.
The favor owed by the Master on behalf of the entire Qiankun Academy proved useful, allowing him to accumulate enough to withstand the Great Calamity in the Outer Realms, which is when he ultimately perished in history.
Upon seeing the Sun King, Princess Huang appeared somewhat dazed and felt extremely weak: "Father... thanks to His Highness Lin, I'm back."
The Sun King was overjoyed and looked at Lin Ye: "Lin boy, thank you so much!"
Lin Ye blinked.
She's actually the daughter of the Golden Crow King...
These two pairs of wings, which have turned white due to their constitution... should be the symbiotic bloodline of the Three-Legged Golden Crow and another fire-type spirit bird!
The young emperor was also somewhat surprised: "Golden Crow, why didn't you bring her to meet me? Why didn't you say your daughter was at the competition? Why did you keep this a secret!"
