Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 219 Returning to the Xuan Tian Sect
The giant, who was a thousand feet tall, could cover hundreds of feet in a single stride, and his speed was no different from that of an ordinary person.

Carrying mountains and chasing the sun, controlling the sea and capturing dragons—this is what it means to be an immortal.

Watching this scene, Lin Le felt a surge of emotion, thinking to himself, 'Take it slow, take it slow; it'll only take a few decades.'

It's just the Nascent Soul Realm; I'll reach it eventually.

A month later, the giant arrived at the Xuanming Mountains and put down the Nine Treasures Mountain he was carrying.

Then another giant, a thousand feet tall, made a move, pressing down with his hand. Yin and Yang and the Five Elements converged in his palm, sorting out the energy of the mountains and rivers and connecting it with the Xuanming Mountain Range.

In the Xuantian Palace, Lin Le met with Yunxiaozi again.

"Nephew Lingzhu, you've had quite a few adventures this time you came down the mountain." Yunxiaozi looked Lin Le up and down, his eyes showing surprise. "Your cultivation has progressed rapidly."

"Mm," Lin Le replied calmly, his expression serene.

Yunxiaozi dropped the subject: "You've offered up this precious land, a great service. What reward do you desire?"

"Does the sect possess Phoenix Essence Blood?" Lin Le asked.

Jiu Lingzi and Yun Xiaozi, who were standing to the side, were both stunned. They did not expect Lin Le to dare to make such an outrageous demand.

The phoenix essence blood that Lin Le mentioned must be from a pure-blooded phoenix, and even their sect might not have such precious blood, let alone them.

"No." Yunxiaozi remained silent.

"Do you have the True Dragon Bone?" Lin Le asked.

The special ability of "adding the finishing touch to a dragon" can also be enhanced, but it requires parts from a purebred true dragon.

"No." Yunxiaozi shook his head.

True dragons are beings on par with phoenixes. Since phoenixes don't possess their essence blood, similarly, they don't possess the treasure bones of true dragons.

Lin Le looked disappointed: "Why is there nothing here?"

Yunxiaozi said irritably, "Nephew Lingzhu, let's talk about something practical."

"Alright then," Lin Le said. "I want to borrow the Seventy-Two Peaks Classic."

Finally, the expected reply arrived. Yunxiaozi nodded: "Alright, apart from the sect leader's lineage which is fundamentally orthodox, you may freely view the other cultivation methods."

"Thank you, Sect Leader." Lin Le bowed.

The reason he didn't break through to the Out-of-Body Realm was because the Burning World Scripture didn't yet have the Out-of-Body Chapter.

"Go back and rest," Yunxiaozi waved his hand.

"Yes." Lin Le left.

After Lin Le left, Jiu Lingzi asked, "Senior brother, did you see it clearly?"

“I see clearly.” Yunxiaozi nodded. “Not even twenty years old, and already at the Nascent Soul stage. With such talent, he would be considered a celestial being even in a top sect. Since he wasn’t nurtured from a young age, there’s no chance he could stay.”

A small temple cannot house a true immortal. Cultivators can survive without food or water, but without sufficient spiritual energy, progress becomes extremely difficult.

It's possible for the Xuantian Sect to cultivate a Nascent Soul cultivator even with the full power of the sect, but there's absolutely no hope for a Celestial Being.

Moreover, since Lin Le wasn't raised from a young age, it's still unknown how much sense of belonging he has to the sect.

Under these circumstances, Xuantian Sect could not possibly abandon a clear benefit in exchange for supporting an unknown risk.

Therefore, it is now a foregone conclusion that Lin Le and the Xuantian Sect will part ways amicably.

"But where should it be sent?" Kureko asked.

The Xuantian Sect already has a Dao Child, and since the Dao Child is of upright character and outstanding talent, it is impossible to discard him. Therefore, Lingzhuzi will be established as the new Dao Child.

However, given Lingzhuzi's current cultivation progress, he will inevitably compete with Daozi for resources.

To avoid a conflict between the two and to ensure an amicable parting, it would be best to send him away as soon as possible. Yunxiaozi frowned and pondered for a moment: "This boy is bloodthirsty by nature and is not suitable for cultivation on the mountain. He is more suited to fighting on the battlefield."

“In that case, how about we send him to the Zhenxie Division of the Northern Cao Dynasty?” Jiu Lingzi suggested.

“The Evil Suppression Division is feasible,” Yunxiaozi nodded.

Although the Northern Cao Dynasty was in its final days, it was still a force to be reckoned with, with a celestial being in charge, and it still had a thousand or even ten thousand years of national fortune ahead of it.

Lin Le is bloodthirsty, but he doesn't kill indiscriminately. Sending him to the Evil Suppression Division is actually a good thing.

In the final years of the dynasty, the people's hearts were broken, the effects of the imperial aura weakened, and demons became more numerous. The presence of a highly skilled swordsman could save many ordinary people from suffering.

"What excuse should we use to send him there?" Kureshiko asked.

He's a true disciple, after all; he needs a legitimate reason to send his disciples out.

“Isn’t the inner sect competition in two months? We should entrust him with an important task based on his outstanding reputation among all the disciples,” Yunxiaozi said.

“Good,” Kureshiko nodded.

After leaving the Xuantian Palace, Lin Le returned to his cave first, since it would be some time before the rewards arrived.

Back at the cave, Ling Muzhu brought over several visiting cards: "Junior brother, someone is looking for you."

"Same as before, ignore it." Lin Le waved his hand.

He estimated that he would leave the Xuantian Sect in a few months. The interpersonal relationships here were of no use to him, so there was no need to engage in any social interactions.

As for their purpose in inviting him to the banquet, Lin Le knew perfectly well that they just hoped to take advantage of him because he had made the greatest contribution, so that they could make more money on Jiubao Mountain.

"Okay." Ling Muzhu turned around and replied to refuse.

Lin Le told him not to pay attention, and given his personality, he would definitely ignore it.

However, as her wife, she naturally couldn't let Lin Le offend people so directly; she had to be more tactful to avoid losing face.

Two or three days later, an elder delivered a pile of jade slips to Lin Le's cave: "Nephew Lingzhu, this is the reward you requested."

"Thank you, no need to see me out." Lin Le put away the jade slip and turned to go inside.

This surprised the elder who was about to say a few more words. He hadn't expected Lin Le to be so aloof and unwilling to say another word to outsiders.

The elder was extremely frustrated. He had gone to great lengths to secure this mission, all so that he could get closer to Lin Le.

Lin Le, however, was too lazy to get close to them and didn't say a word.

"Sigh." The elder sighed and turned to leave.

Lin Le didn't respond. What could he do? He couldn't force Lin Le to speak.

Back in the room, Lin Le patted the bottom of the person lazing on the bed: "Get up, get ready to read."

"Mmm~" Ling Muzhu drew out a nasal sound, lazily getting up from the bed, her black hair cascading down, covering the exposed spring scenery of her chest.

The Dragon-Swallowing-Phoenix Body was originally formed by the combination and evolution of the Yang Spiritual Root and the Dragon-Sparrow Martial Body. Both are Yang-type physiques, and now that they have been combined and evolved into a treasure body, they are even more extremely Yang.

In addition, Lin Le is now six minor realms higher than her, and his physical body has reached the even more profound Throwing Elephant Realm. Even Ling Muzhu's Dao Body is no match for him and has fallen into a disadvantageous position.

A silver veil enveloped her body as she and Lin Le sat cross-legged, their consciousnesses skillfully merging into one and piercing into the jade slip.

This was a clever trick Lin Le came up with during an experiment, which could make a jade slip that could only be used by one person at a time usable by two people, allowing him to get one more free time.

One jade slip after another broke, and Lin Le and Ling Muzhu memorized all the cultivation techniques contained within them.

Then a silver moon rose behind Ling Muzhu, casting its clear light and causing the two to enter a state of enlightenment.

Their consciousnesses connected, and the two worked together to understand these techniques, verifying each other's understanding and absorbing the knowledge into their own cultivation methods.
