He cultivated himself into a Dao Ancestor starting from Qi Refining.

This was exactly the result Lin Shaoyu wanted, and it went even more smoothly than he had anticipated. Under Lin Shaoyu's persuasion and their own imagination, Ling Qingxiao and Ye Shuanghua were truly captivated by him and even wanted to become his subordinates and work for him.

Ultimately, whether it's Ling Qingxiao or Ye Shuanghua, they just want an opportunity, a hope, even if that opportunity and hope are incredibly slim, they still want to give it a try.

"Ling Qingxiao, what you just said does make some sense. I have not yet fully recovered my cultivation in this reincarnation, and I do need manpower."

Lin Shaoyu's expression was calm, and his tone was indifferent, "If this were my prime in my previous life, none of you would be qualified to serve me."

"but……"

Lin Shaoyu was silent for a moment, then said, "I am still willing to give you a chance."

"Thank you... thank you, sir!"

"..."

Ling Qingxiao and Ye Shuanghua showed excitement on their faces, and bowed to Lin Shaoyu again, their tone becoming excited.

"This is the 'Precious Life Heavenly Vast True Skill'."

Lin Shaoyu waved his right hand and took out two jade slips containing true skills. He continued, "As long as you master this true skill, I will personally refine you into my 'substitute puppets'. Then you will be able to join my ranks and have the qualifications to serve me."

"this……"

Ling Qingxiao's eyes widened, and his gaze fell on the True Skill Jade Slip in Lin Shaoyu's hand. He hadn't expected Lin Shaoyu to suddenly pull out such a trick.

"Sir...sir..."

Ling Qingxiao quickly replied, "I am now at the twelfth level of Qi Refining and have mastered four minor supernatural abilities. I can no longer cultivate true skills."

"It's alright."

Lin Shaoyu waved his hand, "I will pass on the 'Self-Severing Technique' to you. Then you can use the Self-Severing Divine Power and cultivate the 'Precious Life Heavenly Vast True Skill'."

"But...but..."

Ling Qingxiao's face turned pale.

If someone were truly transformed into a "substitute puppet," then everything would be manipulated by Lin Shaoyu, and they would become his pawn without any chance to resist, losing their freedom.

Ling Qingxiao was definitely resisting from the bottom of her heart.

Moreover, since there is only the self-severing method and no refining spirit method or reincarnation method, the supernatural power will be gone immediately after self-severing, which will cause Ling Qingxiao's strength to decline.

"grown ups!"

Ye Shuanghua raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with determination, and said in a sweet voice, "Please pass on the 'Precious Life Heavenly Vast True Skill' to me. I am only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and I do not have as many troubles as Senior Brother Ling. Moreover, I will definitely master this true skill in the shortest time, and I am willing to become your 'substitute puppet'."

"You...are very good."

Lin Shaoyu nodded slightly, revealing a satisfied smile, and then gave one of the True Skill Jade Slips to Ye Shuanghua. After receiving it, Ye Shuanghua immediately memorized the True Skill.

"Senior Brother Ling."

Ye Shuanghua turned to look at Ling Qingxiao and slowly said, "You don't really think you can join the lord's ranks and become his person just by saying a few words, do you?"

"!!!"

Ling Qingxiao's pupils contracted.

He realized at that moment that his junior sister, Ye Shuanghua, had completely convinced herself of the extraordinary senior in front of her, and he actually had no choice at all.

If he had chosen to refuse, he would already know the senior's secret and would certainly not allow himself to leave alive. Faced with this mysterious and unpredictable demon, and with his junior sister Ye Shuanghua who had already chosen to submit, he was no match for him. The only way out was to submit.

Moreover, if this senior truly succeeds in attaining enlightenment in the future, he might have a sliver of hope to change his own destiny and strive for even the slightest possibility.

"Please, sir, impart to me your true skills!"

Ling Qingxiao finally stopped hesitating and dispelled all his concerns. Since he had chosen to take this path, he could not and would not regret it.

"Take it."

Lin Shaoyu waved his hand and threw out two jade slips. One of them was naturally the "Precious Life Heavenly Vast True Technique", while the other recorded the self-severing method.

"Thank you, sir!"

Ling Qingxiao accepted the jade slip, his heart filled with excitement. He never expected that the self-severing method he had been longing for day and night would be so easily obtained. As expected of the reincarnation of a supreme divine being, he didn't take these things to heart at all and just gave them away like that. "Your subordinate will definitely master the 'Precious Life Heavenly Vast True Art' in the shortest possible time."

"Um."

Lin Shaoyu nodded slightly and continued, "Cultivating the 'Precious Life Heavenly Vast True Technique' requires the Three Talents Precious Qi. I suppose you can obtain this, so I don't need to worry about it."

"Next, you will return to the Royal City with me and keep yourselves out of sight. I will give you three days to master the 'Precious Life Heavenly Vast True Technique' within three days."

"yes!"

"Yes, sir!"

Ling Qingxiao and Ye Shuanghua nodded respectfully.

"My lord, how should this battle to protect the royal city be concluded?"

Ling Qingxiao suddenly asked.

"Destroy the city."

Lin Shaoyu spoke calmly.

"..."

Ling Qingxiao and Ye Shuanghua's pupils contracted, then they nodded. "Understood."

"It's time to end the war to protect the royal city."

Lin Shaoyu's gaze drifted toward the direction of the Protectorate City.

brush!

He took a step forward, his figure breaking through the air and transforming into a streak of light. Ling Qingxiao and Ye Shuanghua exchanged a glance and quickly followed, casting a disguise spell to completely conceal their whereabouts.

In a very short time, Lin Shaoyu had already flown back to the Protectorate City, where he looked down over the entire city from his high vantage point.

What came into view were the towering city walls, the battle between the two armies, the tragic plight of the city's inhabitants, and the fierce fighting among numerous cultivators.

"A thousand people, a thousand faces!"

Lin Shaoyu formed hand seals and unleashed his divine power. In an instant, he had already created a thousand clones that appeared in all directions around the Royal City, surrounding the entire city and the armies of both sides.

"It's...it's senior! Senior has returned!"

"Hahaha……"

"We won! It really was a victory for you, senior!"

"..."

Inside the Royal City, numerous cultivators and generals saw Lin Shaoyu's figure and were immediately excited and incredulous, never expecting that Lin Shaoyu could actually kill an outer disciple of the Primordial Immortal Sect.

too strong!

That's incredibly powerful!

"How is that possible?!"

Hua Tianqi stared wide-eyed, his face filled with horror and terror. He couldn't believe what he was seeing, he couldn't believe that the Immortal Master of the Primordial Immortal Sect would actually lose, that he would actually lose. This was something he had never imagined.

"This...this..."

"The Immortal Master has lost! The Immortal Master actually lost!"

"No!!!"

The Yue army and numerous cultivators were terrified.

"The Buddha's karma is ablaze!"

With another thought, Lin Shaoyu formed hand seals again and unleashed the "Minor Divine Power: Floating Pagoda Karmic Fire". This time, he focused his gaze on the entire Guardian City and cast the spell on all living beings within it.

This time, the "Floating Pagoda Karmic Fire" targeted not only the Yue Kingdom's army, but also the army and cultivators protecting the royal city, and even the people in the city.

It covers the entire city!!!

"rise!"

Lin Shaoyu let out a soft shout, and his true qi was greatly depleted. In a very short time, the supernatural power fluctuations of the Floating Pagoda Karmic Fire had spread throughout the entire city. By the time everyone reacted, it was completely too late.
