Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 230 Lin Le's Out-of-Body Experience
"But what about my master?" Lin Le asked. "How does the sect leader intend to handle this?"

He was still nominally a disciple of Xu Lingzi, but he should have informed others before joining another sect.

“If my nephew is unwilling to come forward, I can personally persuade him,” Yunxiaozi said.

Lin Le cupped his hands and said, "Then I will trouble the sect leader."

“It’s no trouble at all; it was my fault.” Yunxiaozi shook his head and said, then with a flick of his hand, two jade tablets floated in front of Lin Le.

He said, "On the left is a token. If you go to the Evil Suppression Division, it can help you obtain a fifth-rank official position. On the right is a Dao Jade that sealed away my full-force attack. Consider it extra compensation to you."

Lin Le's eyes flickered as he accepted the two jade tokens after unleashing a full-force attack from the Nascent Soul stage, saying, "Thank you, Sect Leader."

"No need to thank me, it's Xuantian Sect that owes you something," Yunxiaozi said. "What other conditions do you have? You can mention them now."

"No, these two jade tokens are enough," Lin Le said, shaking his head.

Yunxiaozi nodded slightly: "When shall we depart?"

Lin Le said, "Let's do it in the next few days."

Yunxiaozi was surprised: "So fast?"

“Just like you said before, the sect can’t afford to support me,” Lin Le said. “It’s better for me to leave as soon as possible.”

"Then I won't see you off," Yunxiaozi said. "There are many people in the sect watching you. If you leave quietly, I will also keep an eye on them for you."

"Thank you, Master." Lin Le bowed again.

"Of course." Yunxiaozi nodded.

……

After returning from the Xuantian Palace and redeeming his resources, Lin Le said, "Azhu, let's go."

"Alright." Ling Muzhu changed into a blue robe and left the cave with Lin Le, leaving Tianqing Mountain and Xuantian Sect.

They didn't disturb anyone along the way.

The Wanmu Mountains, once the abode of the Wanmu Demon Lord, were shattered into a bloody mist by Lin Le's punch, and then he inhaled.

The blood mist surged into his stomach and intestines, where it was absorbed as essence. Without hesitation, Lin Le began his breakthrough.

The three Nascent Soul cultivators attacked simultaneously, shattering their respective secret realms with the spiritual pearls in their hands.

The secret realm shattered, and the fragments scattered into 1,080 pieces, which merged into the 360 ​​human apertures, 360 earth apertures, and 360 heaven apertures.

Chaos returned, but the three Nascent Soul cultivators paid no heed, blasting the spirit pearls in their hands outwards once more, sending them crashing into the chaos.

The three Nascent Soul cultivators formed hand seals, using the fragments of the secret realm as nodes and the Dao intent as threads, to refine this chaos into the 1080 acupoints.

The interconnected points formed a vast network, thus stabilizing the physical body once again.

He focused his mind into his nascent soul, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw that the 1,080 apertures of heaven, earth, and man actually formed a staircase extending outwards.

There are a total of 81 steps, with nine small steps forming one large step.

With one burst of energy, the three Nascent Soul cultivators stepped directly onto the first step.

As if they had bumped into an ordinary spider web, the three Nascent Soul cultivators stood steadily on the first step.

Achieve the Out-of-Body Realm!
The three Nascent Soul cultivators took two steps in unison, but had to stop after only two.

What was once just a regular spider web has now become as thick as a finger-sized rope, making it impossible to move forward.

Lin Le felt the progress of the nascent soul digesting the network of energy entwined around his body, and couldn't help but sigh. One year.

It takes one year to reach the third level, three years to reach the ninth level, and it actually took him three years to reach the first level of Nascent Soul perfection.

It's true that the further you go in your spiritual practice, the more difficult it becomes.

After spending three days stabilizing his realm, Lin Le consumed 100,000 human merits and entered a state of enlightenment.

Because the true meaning was already perfect, Lin Le easily pushed the Hunyuan True Meaning into the realm of the Hunyuan Great Dao.

Lin Le watched as a gray line gradually appeared on his palm. It looked strange, like a straight line, an arc, or an irregular curve.

This is a Dao pattern. Comprehending the Great Dao is divided into three levels: Dao patterns, Dao symbols, and Dao mysteries.

Dao patterns form Dao symbols, which interpret the mysteries of the Great Dao. Only after interpreting all the mysteries of the Dao can one fully comprehend this Great Dao and thus step into the realm of Dao Integration.

Lin Le struck out with his palm, and a rock not far away vanished into nothingness, as if its very existence had been completely erased.

Nodding slightly, Lin Le was satisfied with its power. He continued to consume human merit to comprehend the Great Dao, pushing Yin and Yang, Heaven and Earth, Life and Death, and Creation into the Dao Pattern level.

Then he focused on the Dao patterns manifested on the Dragon-Swallowing-Phoenix Treasure Body.

The Dao patterns are very complex, seemingly because Lin Le infused them with true meaning at the time. There are elements of life and death, yin and yang, as well as extensions of the Crimson Sun Spirit Body and Dragon Sparrow Martial Body, which also give it a small amount of wind and fire Dao patterns.

However, the main theme is still primordial chaos and creation.

One million merits were reserved as reserves, while the remaining two million merits were consumed in this enlightenment.

After a month of enlightenment, Lin Le looked at the Dao talisman that had appeared in his palm and let out a sigh of relief.

Ultimately, it's still too messy; otherwise, there would have been a chance to manifest a whole Dao talisman.

But that's enough. As far as he knew, that old turtle hadn't yet reached the Dao pattern level.

Lin Le shattered the Azure Nascent Soul hidden within the Universe Ring.

The Azure Nascent Soul transformed into pure innate energy and surged into the other three Nascent Souls, halving the feeling of being bound by the net.

It's time to find out!

Lin Le exhaled, and the Yin-Yang Twin Swords transformed into 365 swords scattered among the mountains.

Tian Qingfeng suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise in them. He hadn't expected Lin Le to break free of the restraints so soon.

He frowned as he scanned the area with his divine sense. He hadn't expected that so many major events would have occurred in just over a year of seclusion.

After carefully learning what had happened, his brows furrowed even more, because Lin Le's progress far exceeded his expectations. In just over a year, he had actually jumped from the Golden Core stage to the point where he could fight against a Nascent Soul Dao Lord.

They can't keep them!

A strong killing intent rose in his heart. With Lin Le's current progress in strength, he might be able to contend with him in half a year.

Who knows, maybe he'll be able to turn the tables on him a year from now.

At this point, the risks outweigh the rewards.

He left quietly, after all, this was a demonic act, and if Yunxiaozi found out, he would most likely not fare well.

Three days later, a figure appeared in front of a high mountain.

As if sensing something, Lin Le, who was meditating with his eyes closed, opened them and looked at the handsome young man in the sky, saying, "Master, you have arrived."

"It seems you've been waiting for me here on purpose," Xu Lingzi said calmly.

"Yes." Lin Le stood up, his red ribbon fluttering as he struck the ground with a fire-tipped spear, cracking the rocks beneath. "It's time we settled our score."

"What grudge do we have?" Xu Lingzi said. "If we're talking about grudges, it's me who has done you a favor, otherwise how could you have achieved your current level of cultivation?"

Lin Le scoffed, "My current level of cultivation is all due to my own actions and insights. What does it have to do with you?"

"Without the convenience of my true teachings, how could you advance so quickly?" A sword appeared in Xu Lingzi's hand.

"That was with the Xuan Tian Sect. Besides, the resources I received were rightfully mine." Lin Le waved his hand, and a golden ring floated behind him.

"What about the bond between master and disciple?" A heavy aura rose from Xu Lingzi's body. "Are you going to betray your master and destroy your ancestors?"

"Master and apprentice?" Lin Le sighed, "You call this act of raising human pills a master and apprentice relationship?"

Upon hearing the words "human pill," Xu Lingzi frowned: "You actually knew about it?"

"If you don't want anyone to know, then don't do it in the first place," Lin Le said calmly.
Xu Lingzi drew his sword: "It seems I can't let you live."

"Heh, it's still uncertain who will emerge victorious." Lin Le formed a hand seal with his left hand, and the spiritual energy in the world instantly surged, sealing off this area.

Lin Le raised his spear, pointing it directly at Xu Lingzi, and said in a chilling tone:
"Today, it is either you or me, and neither of us can exist!"
