A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

haha~

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Even if he used a special method to lower his cultivation level to slow the loss of his life force, he shouldn't have been surpassed by a junior in the Sendai realm.

The only reasonable explanation is...

[The Great Accomplished Sacred Body.]

[A Great Accomplishment Holy Body has conducted related deductions and left the results to future generations.]

[Coincidentally, his imperial weapon shares the same divine aura as the Great Perfection Saint Body that appeared a few years ago.]

The Great Perfection Holy Body... has a worthy successor!

Gai Jiuyou felt that the education of the Holy Body lineage was too cruel.

Lin Xiu was only at what level, yet he was already told that the path to immortality would be marked by the greatest dark upheaval in history.

From this perspective, the Great Accomplishment Holy Body is simply a monster of pressure!

The fact that the junior named Lin Xiu broke through so quickly is definitely related to the education of the Holy Body lineage!

......

[Hiss~ Could it be... that this is the reason why the Holy Body lineage keeps producing Great Perfection Holy Bodies?] Gai Jiuyou felt that he had discovered a blind spot.

In educating younger generations, he was far inferior to the Great Accomplished Holy Body.

Look at Lin Xiu, he has already reached the Sendai realm at such a young age and has the spirit of being invincible.

As for Xia Jiuyou........

Yes, she is very filial, and her smile is beautiful.

Although their strength is still insufficient, it is estimated that it will take a long time to accumulate enough experience before they can enter the forbidden realm.

But for an old supreme being who longed for family and successors, that was more than enough.

In his eyes, it would be best if Xia Jiuyou could become an emperor, but it wouldn't matter if she couldn't, as long as she could live well and pass on his Dao.

......

Gai Jiuyou sighed, while Xia Jiuyou looked dejected.

More than a dozen supreme beings have emerged! Even true immortals will perish!

After remaining silent for more than ten seconds, Xia Jiuyou finally mustered up the courage to ask:

"Master, are you really going to fight those supreme beings from the forbidden zones?"

Gai Jiuyou felt a moment of heaviness as he looked at the wavering in his disciple's eyes.

However, it was only for a moment. The next second, Gai Jiuyou unleashed boundless heroic spirit.

"Haha~ a bloodbath? My disciple, do you have so little faith in your master?"

"With my intervention, I will surely be able to suppress the dark chaos!"

"At that time, my disciple, you only need to cheer me on from the sidelines."

Xia Jiuyou: "......."

Xia Jiuyou remained silent, only bowing her head repeatedly.

Because... she was afraid that Gai Jiuyou would see the tears welling up in her eyes!

A few seconds later, Xia Jiuyou looked up and barely managed to stop crying.

Then, Xia Jiuyou slightly curled the corners of her mouth, revealing what she believed to be the most radiant smile she could muster.

"Ok!"

"With Master's intervention, the chaos in the darkness will surely be quelled!"

"No matter what kind of Dark Sovereign he is, he is no match for Master!"

Xia Jiuyou believed that Gai Jiuyou would definitely win.

Because he is the invincible Gai Jiuyou.

Because that's the only thought she could hold onto.

She could neither fight alongside Gai Jiuyou nor stop him. Therefore, she could only hold onto the hope that Gai Jiuyou would return victorious.

The only consolation was that, thanks to Lin Xiu's help, she found the complete elixir of immortality.

With the help of the elixir of immortality, Gai Jiuyou can recover to his peak condition, and may even go further and successfully attain enlightenment!

If Gai Jiuyou could participate in the battle as the current emperor, he might actually survive! At least, it wouldn't be a situation where there was no chance of survival!

All of this is thanks to Brother Lin's dedication!

Thinking of this, Xia Jiuyou couldn't help but cast her gaze toward the distant central courtyard.

Brother Lin has been kind to her, and this kindness is as deep as the ocean; she must repay it.

She could never utter such shameless words as "in my next life I will repay your great kindness by repaying your kindness in kind," which clearly shows she has no intention of repaying the debt of gratitude!

She must recover her health as soon as possible before Brother Lin passes away, so that she can leave him with a bloodline descendant!

Only in this way can she live up to Brother Lin's great righteousness and her own Daoist heart.

If she doesn't repay such a great kindness and lets her benefactor pass away, she will be uneasy for the rest of her life!

......

Gai Jiuyou noticed Xia Jiuyou's gaze and also looked towards the central courtyard.

With just one glance, Gai Jiuyou sensed that something was wrong.

"Ok?"

"Disciple, you just told me that the young friend Lin who was willing to give up the sacred fruit doesn't have much time left?"

Xia Jiuyou nodded and told him the truth:

"Yes, Brother Lin suffered severe Dao injuries during his tribulation at the Immortal Platform and his days are numbered."

"But... out of respect for his master and the greater cause of saving all living beings, Brother Lin decided to leave the only set of sacred fruits that could heal his Dao injury to his master."

"Brother Lin, you truly deserve to be a descendant of the Holy Body lineage!"

After expressing her admiration for Lin Xiu, a resolute glint flashed in Xia Jiuyou's eyes.

"Master, I believe that Brother Lin feels he won't have enough time to achieve great success before the path to immortality opens, so he's placing his hopes on you. What do you think?"

Gai Jiuyou: "........Yes, I think so too."

Gai Jiuyou's old face twitched uncontrollably.

He didn't know why Lin Xiu wouldn't tell Xia Jiuyou his true physical condition, but given that Lin Xiu was already planning to give him the elixir of immortality, he couldn't very well undermine him, could he?

However, the next second, Xia Jiuyou walked up to him, knelt down respectfully on both knees, and performed a deep bow.

"Thump!~"

Xia Jiuyou's smooth, fair forehead struck the bluestone brick, producing a crisp echo.

"Disciple, what are you doing...?"

Gai Jiuyou's brows furrowed even deeper.

What is Xia Jiuyou up to? Why did she suddenly kneel down to him?

Under Gai Jiuyou's questioning gaze, Xia Jiuyou, while maintaining her kneeling posture, respectfully said:

“I’m sorry, Master, I made a major decision while you were not present.”

"Your disciple has decided to bear a child for Brother Lin, whose days are numbered, in order to continue his bloodline and lineage!"

"Logically, my disciple's marriage should be arranged by his master."

"But the matter of bearing a child for Brother Lin is related to my principles of conduct and my Daoist heart. It is a decision I have made after careful consideration."

"Please, Master... do not stop your disciple from repaying this debt of gratitude!"

Xia Jiuyou's voice wasn't loud, but it was deafening.

Gai Jiuyou was greatly shocked and for a moment did not know what to say.

Could it be that Xia Jiuyou obtained his elixir of immortality from Lin Xiu in exchange for Lin Xiu bearing him a child?

But... how could that be? The elixir of immortality is so precious that a female prodigy surrogate mother is not even qualified to obtain it!

Is it Lin Xiu who's acting strangely, or my disciple?

Gai Jiuyou was puzzled...

The next second, the Chaos Lotus in the distance opened automatically, and the figures of Lin Xiu, the Purple Mansion Saintess, the Jade Pool Saintess, and the Queen Mother of the West appeared one after another.

Xia Jiuyou was first delighted, then stunned.

Well, judging from this, after she left, Lin Xiu brought three more female cultivators into the Chaos Green Lotus for a meeting.

Although she was somewhat concerned, Xia Jiuyou didn't take it too seriously.

It's not like they only pulled one person in. Lin Xiu isn't going to have a party with three female cultivators inside at the same time.

.......

"Master! Brother Lin has just appeared. I'll take you to see him right away!"

After a brief moment of doubt, Xia Jiuyou did not hesitate and grabbed Gai Jiuyou's sleeve, rushing towards Lin Xiu's direction.

The reason she acted so decisively was entirely because Gai Jiuyou did not refuse immediately.

No refusal means agreement!

No problem!

Gai Jiuyou was pulled along by Xia Jiuyou's sleeve as they ran, his old face scrunched up in a frown.

Xia Jiuyou was initially very excited as she ran, but as she closed the distance with Lin Xiu, she finally realized something was wrong.

The Chaos Lotus has already opened, so why hasn't that Purple Mansion Saintess left yet? Why is she still there talking to Lin Xiu?

While Xia Jiuyou was wondering, the Purple Mansion Saintess directly unleashed her ultimate skill.
