Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 355 The mysterious visitor
Yuechan was greatly alarmed. Where did this old monster come from, and what was his purpose?
Just as she was speculating, the old man in gray glanced at a tightly closed palace, as if he had passed through the external barriers and looked directly into the interior.

"Oh no, could he be after my junior brother?"

Yuechan sensed something was wrong and turned pale with tension. A blue moon rose, and she mustered her courage to stand in front of the unfamiliar powerful figure.

"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm," the gray-robed old man smiled.

Yuechan remained silent. Who would silently barge in, claiming no ill intent while secretly spying? No one would believe that.

At the same moment, she silently took out the Reincarnation Disc, which Lin Fan had placed with her before he went into seclusion.

The old man naturally noticed her little actions, but he didn't care. Instead, he said with interest, "Little girl, would you like to become my apprentice?"

Yuechan was stunned and didn't react for a moment. She couldn't help but wonder what this old monster was up to now.
She thought for a moment and asked, "What are the benefits of becoming your disciple?"

"Haha, you can learn any immortal scriptures and techniques you want, and I'll even provide you with the best environment and resources for cultivation in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

The old man laughed loudly, and a flash of light appeared in his large, rough palm, revealing a jade scroll that exuded an aura of immortality.

"Hey!"

The next moment, the jade book unfolded, exuding a unique Daoist aura, accompanied by chanting. Hundreds of rays of light shone forth, creating an extraordinary scene.

This is no longer a simple jade book, but a celestial scripture, as if pulling people into the previous era and plunging them into a state of enlightenment.

"This……"

Yuechan blinked her beautiful eyes, and a flash of blue moonlight appeared. For some reason, she had a feeling that she was particularly familiar with the ancient text above.

"Do you know or have studied the ancient scripts of immortals?" the old man asked.

Yuechan shook her head and nodded at the same time, saying, "I haven't learned it, but I think I recognize it."

Upon hearing this, the old man's eyes widened, and he exclaimed excitedly as if he had found a treasure: "A natural talent suited for cultivating ancient immortal techniques..."

"Well then, shall we become your disciples?" he said again.

Yuechan's pupils shifted, and after hesitating for a moment, she said, "Hmm... Senior asked me to think about it some more..."

As she spoke, she glanced at the young man who was in seclusion from time to time.

"Alright, since he's in seclusion, I'll come back in a few days."

The old man in gray nodded without forcing the issue. It seemed that his main target was Lin Fan, and Yuechan was just an unexpected bonus.

……

Several days later, a wisp of immortal energy condensed into a flower of the Great Dao outside Lin Fan's body, blooming above his head, exuding an indescribable sacredness.

The Dao flower is pure white and flawless, profound and mysterious, yet full of powerful energy, creating ripples that inspire awe.

"boom!"

The petals of the Great Dao bloomed, and the celestial mist flowed down in wisps, enveloping Lin Fan and nourishing his physical body and primordial spirit, making him even more unpredictable.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, the petals split open again. Lin Fan trembled, but it wasn't because he had failed; it was intentional.

This is a process of honing one's skills!
Sure enough, the immortal energy condensed once again into petals of the Great Dao, blooming and dispersing continuously, becoming increasingly stable and astonishing.

Finally, the Dao Flower stabilized completely, hanging above his head, shining brightly, as if he had achieved the Great Perfection of Dao.

"It's done!"

Lin Fan opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and unfathomable, while a look of triumphant joy appeared on his face.

In the realm of sacred rituals, the first blossom of the Dao is absolutely rare in the world, and it can even be polished to perfection in one go.

Now, not only has his strength increased significantly, his magical power become abundant, but his physical body and primordial spirit have also been enhanced. As a result, his holy sacrifice has almost stabilized, no longer fluctuating wildly, making him comparable to a celestial being.

"It's a pity that all that money was spent only helped me form a single Flower of the Great Dao." Lin Fan looked at the dried-up Immortal Cauldron, feeling a pang of regret.

Such a huge consumption of energy from just one cultivation session is something most people simply cannot withstand.

If all three streams of immortal energy were condensed into Dao flowers, under the same conditions, it would be enough to nurture several celestial gods.

It's safe to say this is a bottomless pit, incredibly extravagant. Few major sects in the Upper Realm could afford to support a young supreme being with three strands of immortal energy.

Of course, it is also related to Lin Fan's own physique. He is naturally able to consume more resources, several times that of ordinary cultivators.

This is like two buckets of the same height, but different in length and width; one is thick and the other is thin and small, so the amount of water they can hold will naturally be different.

However, this is also a good thing, because consumption and output are directly proportional. At the same level, Lin Fan is invincible!

"I remember that the condensation of immortal energy into petals of the Great Dao is not the ultimate goal; it can also give birth to tiny figures, representing the past, present, and future," Lin Fan pondered.

This is well exemplified in Shi Hao, but it is not absolute; some go even further and form trees.

But in Lin Fan's view, his younger brother's approach was correct. The three lifetimes contained a great secret in this world, which was related to the final transcendence.

For example, the significance of the bronze coffin representing three generations can also be explained in this way.

By burying the past, present, and future, and making oneself cease to exist in this world, one can ultimately achieve the path of sacrifice.

This was also a hint given to later generations by the three masters of the bronze coffin, but unfortunately, no one could understand it, and no one dared to do it.

In the end, Lin Fan emerged from seclusion. He was not in a hurry to achieve success, nor was it that he lacked immortal resources. He still had immortal blood, which he could use for purification.

However, spiritual practice requires a gradual approach; taking too big a step at once is not good, as it can easily lead to missing out on insights along the way.

……

"Junior brother, you've finally emerged from seclusion. I have something important to tell you."

As soon as Lin Fan came out, Yue Chan hurriedly found him, her expression subtle.

In fact, the two were already living together, so it wasn't really a search; they could be greeted as soon as they stepped out of the room.

Therefore, the disciples of the Heaven-Mending Sect were not surprised at all. Besides, Lin Fan did not have an independent spiritual mountain to cultivate on.

Normally, he was either at Qingyao's place or at Yuechan's Saintess Peak, and rarely visited other places.

Previously, he chose to keep a low profile because he was an undercover agent, but as his strength increased, he felt it was unnecessary.

Now, his relationship with Yuechan is even more obvious, and Saintess Peak can be said to be his.

Whenever he thought of this, Lin Fan couldn't help but praise himself: As expected of someone as clever as me, I truly had foresight!

"Yueyue, the big thing you mentioned, could it be that you're pregnant?" Lin Fan teased, staring at Yuechan's belly and touching it.

"Be serious!" Yuechan rolled her eyes at him, her gaze sparkling with a unique charm.

She is still young and doesn't want to become a mother so early. After each act, she will immediately refine her "essence".

It wasn't that she was unwilling, but it was impossible before the gods. She was currently in her prime, a period of explosive growth in her cultivation, and didn't want to delay her cultivation.

"Ahem, then tell me, what's the matter that's so urgent?" Lin Fan straightened up for a moment, but his claws didn't stop, gliding over the soft areas.

Yuechan blushed slightly, clapped the large hand that was wandering around symbolically, and replied, "Someone from above is coming to take us to the Nine Heavens for further study!"

"Um?!"
