Chapter 107 The Emperor Cannot Be Humiliated! (Fifth Update)

"Whoo~"

Xiaolin Xiu let out a long breath, his face regained some color, and his breathing became completely stable.

"You've come at the right time. Do you know why I called you here?"

"This junior is unaware, please speak frankly, young ancestor." Yan Ruyu gently shook her head.

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point. I wonder if you've heard any rumors circulating outside lately?" Lin Xiu asked.

"The rumors outside?"

Yan Ruyu's expression hardened, and she quickly filled in the blank in her mind.

"Could it be that someone has spread rumors about me and Xiao Zu outside?! Xiao Zu, please forgive me! I will go and investigate personally right away!" Yan Ruyu's tone was firm and urgent, and her attitude was also very resolute, but her fair cheeks uncontrollably flushed with a faint blush.

Yan Ruyu felt that she really needed to be disciplined.

It was bad enough that someone had already leaked Lin Xiu's information to Wan Nian, but now they're even spreading rumors outside? That's just too much!

Lin Xiu: "......"

After a few seconds of silence, Lin Xiu said somewhat helplessly, "Well, I wasn't talking about the two of us. I was talking about the matter between you and Ji Haoyue."

"Have you forgotten? Didn't he say he wanted to challenge you to a duel after he left the pass?"

"That's why I summoned you here."

Yan Ruyu: "......."

Yan Ruyu's expression froze instantly. The two blushes that had just faded spread across her face again in a more intense way, making her blush from her cheeks all the way to the tips of her ears.

Even with Yan Ruyu's aloof and self-possessed nature, she wished there was a crack in the ground she could crawl into at this moment.

Yes, if you think about it carefully, wasn't what Lin Xiu said at the beginning just "rumors from outside"?

It's all her fault; she overthinks things.

......

Lin Xiu had no intention of continuing to admire Yan Ruyu's appearance, and waved his hand, saying:

"Alright, let's not talk about anything else. If no one interferes, are you confident you can defeat him?"

Lin Xiu is an honest man; once he takes the money, he is obligated to do the job.

Although Lao Qing was imprisoned and had an unconventional way of thinking, his crimes did not warrant such a destitute fate for his descendants.

Now that he is Lao Qing's partner and has also benefited from Lao Qing's connection with the Chaos Green Lotus, he naturally cannot stand idly by and watch the Green Lotus lineage's plight.

Although the Qinglian lineage is not a true bloodline descendant of the Qing Emperor, in the eyes of outsiders, the Qinglian lineage represents the Qing Emperor's face.

The thought that in the original story, the Qinglian lineage was not only attacked by Ji Haoyue who threatened to seize the imperial weapon, but also had to wander around and eventually find some demon kings to protect them made Lin Xiu unable to hold back.

This is an imperial clan! How can an imperial clan fall into such a wretched state after only ten thousand years?

Although the prison guards were often humiliated.

But the emperor must not be humiliated!

Lin Xiu could tolerate the humiliation he inflicted on Lao Qing, since they were all buddies.

But, besides him, did other people also want to insult Qing?

Then we'll have to ask his Azure Lotus Imperial Weapon if it agrees.

What? This is the imperial weapon of the Azure Lotus lineage, not his imperial weapon?

He says it's his, so it's his! Even the entire Qinglian lineage belongs to him!

.......

Faced with Lin Xiu's question about whether he could defeat Ji Haoyue, Yan Ruyu pondered for a few seconds before speaking softly.

"If it's a battle between people of the same realm, there shouldn't be any problem."

Lin Xiu shook his head, feeling that Yan Ruyu's answer lacked any spirit.

"What I want is not 'should,' but a definite answer."

"Yes or no!"

Yan Ruyu: ".......Okay!"

In the end, Yan Ruyu gave Lin Xiu a positive answer.

However, Lin Xiu did not agree with Yan Ruyu's answer: "Alright, I know you are not confident about this, which is why I specifically called you over."

"Look... what is this?"

Lin Xiu raised his hand, and a point of azure light appeared in his palm, growing rapidly from small to large and spreading outwards.

Within the azure light, chaotic energy permeated the air, wisps and strands rising and falling uncertainly. In the center of that chaotic energy, the faint silhouette of a blue lotus could be seen, its leaves unfurled and its stem upright. Though a silhouette, it exuded an ancient Daoist aura as if the world had been created.

Yan Ruyu's pupils contracted.

She stared intently at the illusory image of the blue lotus, feeling a tremor resonating deep within her blood.

Although the Azure Lotus lineage is not the true bloodline of the Azure Emperor, but rather the result of the Azure Emperor's blood that he casually spilled in the Immortal Pool, combined with the Azure Lotus and other plants in the pool, strictly speaking, they do possess imperial blood!

Even if the Emperor's blood is diluted, under suitable conditions, the descendants of the Azure Lotus lineage can still recall the scene of the chaotic Azure Lotus opening the heavens by relying on the faint memories in the Emperor's blood.

.......

“Princess Yan, I want you to use this true meaning to cultivate the extraordinary Azure Lotus Opening Heaven Diagram.”

"In this way, we can be absolutely certain of victory in our battle against Ji Haoyue." Xiao Linxiu's voice pulled Yan Ruyu back from her shock.

Yan Ruyu took a deep breath to suppress the pounding in her heart.

She looked at Kobayashi Osamu with a complex expression, a mixture of emotion, shock, and a hint of defiance.

Because, in a sense, Lin Xiu deliberately helped her precisely because he felt she couldn't win.

Although Yan Ruyu wasn't particularly competitive, she did possess a proud and ambitious heart.

Furthermore, her inability to meet Lin Xiu's expectations only complicated her feelings.

"Young Master's kindness is deeply appreciated. However..."

"This junior may be able to cultivate the 'Chaos Seed Green Lotus' with the help of the young ancestor, but as for the Green Lotus Heaven Opening Diagram... this junior really has no confidence."

"The Azure Lotus Heaven-Opening Diagram requires a very high concentration of bloodline. Although I inherit the bloodline of the Demon Emperor, I am afraid that I will not be able to truly comprehend it unless I cultivate to a high level."

In the original novel, when Yan Ruyu faced off against Ji Haoyue, the phenomenon she used was "Golden Lotus Planted in the Bitter Sea," a top-tier phenomenon comparable to "Bright Moon Rising from the Sea."

Of course, it still falls short of the strongest sequence phenomena such as "Chaos Seed Green Lotus", "Green Lotus Opening Heaven Diagram", and "Immortal King Descending to the Nine Heavens".

If everyone has the strongest sequence of anomalies, who would still need the top-tier series of anomalies?

The reason why Yan Ruyu's extraordinary phenomenon was "a golden lotus growing in a sea of ​​suffering" is because she did not cultivate "a blue lotus growing in chaos".

.......

Now, with Lin Xiu's help, Yan Ruyu is confident that she can cultivate the "Chaotic Lotus".

As for the Azure Lotus Opening Heaven Diagram?

Yan Ruyu was very self-aware. She was not the Azure Emperor himself, so how could she have cultivated the "Azure Lotus Opening Heaven Diagram" at such a low level?

Yan Ruyu's concerns were not unfounded.

In fact, if Lin Xiu didn't have the Daoist space, which allowed him to use the Daoist space to evolve the scene of the Chaos Green Lotus opening the heavens, even if Lin Xiu had eaten the "Chaos Green Lotus root," it would have been difficult for him to cultivate the Green Lotus opening the heavens diagram.

"Since I have summoned you, I have a solution."

"Such heaven-defying methods can only be used at will by the Venerable One."

Osamu Kobayashi looked confident and assured of his success.

He's already called Yan Ruyu over, surely there must be a solution.

Kobayashi Shu, who had returned to his Dao Fruit state, had no idea what humility was.

The next second, Lin Xiu raised his hand.

A cyan Daoist aura emerged, shaped like a section of lotus root, crystal clear throughout, containing chaos within, with ancient Daoist patterns flowing on its surface, each pattern seemingly expounding the ultimate truth of the beginning of heaven and earth.

Chaos Green Lotus Root!

To be precise... it's the Daoist essence of the Chaos Green Lotus root!

Yan Ruyu's breath hitched.

With a light tap of his fingertip, Xiao Lin Xiu solidified the Daoist aura, which floated in mid-air, radiating boundless life essence and primordial Dao power.

"Not long ago, the Azure Emperor bestowed upon me the root of the Chaos Azure Lotus. Eating it can forge a portion of the Chaos Azure Lotus Dao Foundation."

"Now, I have replicated its Daoist essence using heaven-defying methods. Although it is not as good as the original version, it is enough to help the Qinglian lineage reach a higher level."

Chapter 108 Fairy, I Will Help You Cultivate (First Update)

Even before heading to Beidou, Lin Xiu had already planned to replicate the sacred fruit from the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

In fact, Lin Xiu did indeed attempt to replicate the sacred fruit he obtained from the Forbidden Land of Desolation.

Lin Xiu discovered that although the Daoist essence of the Sacred Fruit he replicated was still some distance from the real Sacred Fruit, it was absolutely miraculous, possessing two or three tenths of the effects of the real thing.

However, perhaps because Lin Xiu's own cultivation level was not very high, he discovered that the effects of his copies on low-level cultivators were much stronger than those on high-level cultivators.

Yan Ruyu's pupils trembled slightly as she looked at the Daoist essence in Lin Xiu's hand.

Suddenly, Yan Ruyu lifted her skirt and bowed deeply.

"My great kindness to my ancestor is as precious as jade... I will never forget it."

Yan Ruyu could sense that the Chaos Green Lotus root in Lin Xiu's hand was the most important thing in the Green Lotus lineage!

If she can consume the roots and stems of the Chaos Green Lotus, she will surely be able to forge an unparalleled foundation for the Dao!

"Well, it's just a few divine objects, you don't need to worry about it too much."

"I am the kind of person who enjoys helping others to understand the Tao."

Lin Xiu truly loved helping people attain enlightenment.

Furthermore, since the Qinglian lineage has become part of his power, he should provide some support.
