I cultivate the Purple Mansion Golden Elixir Dao on Earth

Lin Yu had no idea what Jiang Songjing was pondering before falling into a deep sleep.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Jiang Songjing was merely a casual pawn he'd casually placed there. He had far more pressing matters to attend to now.

Or rather, to verify.

Jiang Songjing had already fallen asleep.

Currently, Lin Yu is the only person still awake in Baiyang Temple.

He strolled around the courtyard and eventually reached one side of it.

Beside that pine tree.

This pine tree is over a hundred years old and more than ten meters tall. It was created when the Baiyang Temple was built.

Although the infighting within Xuanzhen Temple decades ago led to changes in the lineage of Baiyang Temple, alterations to its scriptures, and the fact that the Taoist priests within the temple had forgotten their lineage, Song remained unchanged.

For decades, the pavilion has stood here, majestic and silent.

However, at this very moment, this pine tree, which had survived war and calamity, was undergoing some strange changes.

For some reason, the once majestic pavilion seemed somewhat diminished.

Lin Yu stood quietly in front of the pine tree, tilting her head slightly upward and looking at it with her hands behind her back.

Although his mind had not yet transformed into spiritual awareness and could not see outwards, Lin Yu's status and cultivation as a Great Master allowed him to easily discern the clues from this pine tree.

"I told Jiang Songjing before that what he saw in his nightmare was 'Sheng Yu', and that's true."

"But I didn't tell it that although 'remains of life' are formed from the thoughts of the living and the remnants of the dead, the formation of 'remains of life' is not simply a matter of these two things existing..."

"For 'survival of the fittest' to succeed, two essential conditions must be met!"

"Firstly, it is the object upon which one relies."

"Secondly... it's spiritual energy!"

Lin Yu looked at the pine tree and felt the extremely subtle yin energy emanating from it.

His eyes flickered, revealing a rare unease within him.

"This pine tree has been rooted in Baiyang Temple for a hundred years, and is perfectly integrated with the atmosphere of the temple. Whether it is the old Taoist Yunfu or Jiang Songjing, their lives and destinies are secretly connected with it. Therefore, it is not surprising that it has become the place where this 'survival' is entrusted."

"But spiritual energy... the source of this 'surplus' spiritual energy is the most crucial thing!"

Lin Yu gazed intently at the pine tree, his heart surging with emotion, yet he did not question the spiritual energy that might exist within it.

In fact, when he woke up this morning, Lin Yu had already sensed a very subtle change.

However, such changes were subtle and indistinct, and even with his status and cultivation, he could not fully grasp their nature before his spiritual awareness was formed.

However, at that time, he already had a vague guess in his mind.

Later, seeing Jiang Songjing trapped by "Sheng Yu," and then coming to this pine tree, he sensed the dark energy within it. At this moment, Lin Yu's suspicions finally became reality, causing a storm of shock within him!

"really……"

"Last night's cultivation, after reaching the [Embryonic Breathing] realm, was captured by this world, allowing it to begin replenishing itself in the unseen realm... to the point that even in this world devoid of spiritual energy, signs of spiritual energy have begun to emerge!"

"I used the metal element to catalyze spiritual energy and circulate its essence, creating an unprecedented miracle for this world. This miracle has drawn the attention of the entire world, like a toddler imitating an adult's actions, thus learning to refine its imagery into spiritual energy... As a result, the pine trees in the White Sun Temple were the first to be affected, even becoming the vessel for 'Sheng Yu'!"

"In that case, my initial steps into cultivation last night, though merely 'embryonic breathing,' can still be considered 'expounding the Dao to Heaven,' and thus... Heaven and Earth naturally 'seek the Dao from me'!"

A sudden realization dawned on Lin Yu.

In an instant, he felt completely at ease, while his mind and spirit had risen to the highest point between heaven and earth, participating in the mysterious workings of the universe!

And in the vast universe, a magnificent sea of ​​stars appeared before his eyes!

In that instant, he seemed to become "He," witnessing infinite light being born and countless lights being extinguished...

...It was an unprecedented, magnificent, and mysterious sight!

Such a sublime and wondrous scene, the moment Lin Yu "saw" it, suddenly gave rise to an unprecedented sense of danger!

However, the [Sinking Wood Trampling Rotten Yin Edict Nature] in his sea of ​​consciousness moved without being urged, radiating an unprecedentedly wondrous dark light, as if it truly possessed a fruition level. It was like a Golden Core True Monarch who had cultivated the [Sinking Wood] fruition to its peak unleashing its full power, causing a sudden shock!

"……puff!"

Lin Yu instantly spat out a mouthful of scalding blood, but his consciousness broke free from that incomparably vast, supreme, and wondrous Dao scene of the universe's operation.

"This, this is..."

Lin Yu stood there in a daze, recalling what she had just seen and learned, her eyes flickering uncertainly.

At this moment, he felt a tearing pain in his mind and body, and fell into a state of weakness he had never experienced since entering this world.

But in his heart, there was an unprecedented joy!

Because in that instant, his enlightenment clearly resonated with this world.

As someone who pioneers the path of spiritual practice in this universe.

The first person to enter the realm of "fetal breathing".

The first person to make the world aware that there is such a thing as "spiritual energy".

When Lin Yu understood this matter, he received a call from heaven and earth.

This allowed his mind to ascend to the deepest part of heaven and earth, to feel the cycle of the entire universe, and to "see" that vast, supreme, and wondrous Dao landscape!

And this is the reward and recognition that this world has bestowed upon him!

However, that Daoist landscape was too vast. Not to mention his current mortal body that had just entered the [Fetal Breathing] stage, even a Great True Person who had reached the peak of the Purple Mansion realm in his previous life would be reduced to nothing but ashes the moment he faced it.

Fortunately, Lin Yu still possessed a trace of the pure and wondrous [Sinking Wood Trampling Rotten Yin Edict Nature] within his sea of ​​consciousness, which was able to protect Lin Yu's mind in that instant, preventing him from dying and helping him break free... In fact, it allowed Lin Yu to gain immense benefits from that Dao scene!

"I originally thought that I would need to reach the Foundation Establishment stage to fully recover 'Lin Yu's' memories... But now, all the cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities I acquired in my previous life have been fully restored."

This benefit is considerable, but compared to the next one, it's practically worthless.

"...More importantly, although I only 'saw' the workings of the universe for a fleeting moment, my cultivation and wisdom have been enhanced to an unprecedented degree, completely surpassing the Purple Mansion Realm...I'm probably already on par with a true Golden Core True Monarch!"

His cultivation level was embryonic breathing, and his rank was Purple Mansion... but his cultivation level had risen to the clear and bright Golden Core level!

This is the true source of the immense opportunity that Lin Yu obtained!

Re-examine that point of gold within your sea of ​​consciousness.

At this moment, in Lin Yu's perception, it had become a seamless part of him, their lives intertwined, no longer separate. Once Lin Yu's cultivation reached the Perfection of the Purple Mansion realm, and he unleashed the power of the Five Divine Abilities, he could almost unleash the full might of a True Monarch of the [Sinking Wood] realm without relying on any specific fruition level!

An overwhelming sense of emotion filled Lin Yu's chest, causing tears to well up in her eyes.

At that moment, Lin Yu felt a strong sense of confidence. If he were to use his current cultivation level and combine it with the supernatural powers he had gained in his previous life to go back to that cultivation world and attain the Golden Fruit, he would probably face no obstacles whatsoever and could achieve the status of a True Monarch in one fell swoop!

Upon thinking of this, Lin Yu couldn't help but marvel.

"That scene of the universe's operation... is an opportunity a million times more precious than a celestial artifact!"
