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

Gai Jiuyou stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"I have decided to accept Lin Xiaoyou as my disciple. From now on, he will be your senior brother."

"You are all outstanding young people. You should support each other and make progress together in the future."

Xia Jiuyou: "......"

Lin Xiu: "..."

The two looked at each other, both seeing surprise and bewilderment in each other's eyes.

Something's not right with how this plot is going.

Xia Jiuyou opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found that she had no idea what to say.

She was still angry with Lin Xiu and planned to ignore that jerk forever. But now Gai Jiuyou is telling her that this jerk has become her senior brother?

What a joke!

Xia Jiuyou glared at Lin Xiu angrily, her little face flushed red.

Lin Xiu looked completely innocent; he was totally bewildered too.

He inexplicably became Gai Jiuyou's disciple and even gained a junior sister.

He finally made up his mind, and this is what he gets?

.......

"Elder Wei...can you tell me what's going on?"

Lin Xiu immediately grasped the key point. He knew that since Gai Jiuyou dared to talk about this matter in front of everyone, it meant that he had at least gained Wei Yi's approval.

"Holy Lord, how about you explain this to the Supreme Holy Lord?"

Wei Yi looked at Weiwei. He had originally wanted to explain himself, but after witnessing Xia Jiuyou's subtle reaction, he felt he should give the opportunity to Weiwei.

Vivi: "........"

"Alright, I'll answer your question, Senior Brother Lin."

Next, Weiwei concisely told Lin Xiu what they had discussed with Gai Jiuyou while he was away.

For example: the special nature of the Nine Nether Tribulation Body and Lin Xiu's personal physique; Gai Jiuyou's plan to take Lin Xiu as a disciple, and Wei Yi's agreement; after the Dark Turmoil, Gai Jiuyou planned to take action and at the same time planned to entrust Xia Jiuyou to Lin Xiu; Weiwei asked Gai Jiuyou to take care of Lin Xiu, and Gai Jiuyou agreed and brought Tianxuan Holy Land with him, etc.

The more Lin Xiu listened, the more subtle his expression became.

because

"Um... Elder Wei, Weiwei, there's something I forgot to tell you," Lin Xiu said somewhat awkwardly.

"What's the matter?"

"Actually, when the Dark Turmoil came... I was planning to join the war..." Lin Xiu said with an embarrassed smile.

"Um?!"

Chapter 231 Gai Jiuyou: Directly Sealed into the Divine Source

"Um?!"

Upon hearing Lin Xiu's words, Weiwei, Wei Yi, Xia Jiuyou, Gai Jiuyou, and even An Miaoyi all widened their eyes.

Weiwei was the first to react. Suppressing her surprise, she asked in a deep voice:

"Senior brother, do you know how many years from now the path to immortality will open?"

"Two hundred years later."

“Starting from now, the path to immortality will open in 218 years and seven months,” Lin Xiu replied calmly.

Everyone fell silent.

They only learned a rough time from Gai Jiuyou, but they didn't expect Lin Xiu to have the time so precise!

A hint of relief flashed in Weiwei's eyes as she continued to ask:

"Very well, then does Senior Brother know what kind of supreme being caused the chaos in the darkness?"

"know."

"They are all emperors who have committed suicide, or other emperor-level beings."

"They were once incredibly powerful, believing themselves to be invincible throughout history."

"But... time changes everything. As time flows and years pass, everything they knew disappears. Their hearts grow cold, and they no longer see the universe as a place they should protect, but as their own pasture."

"In order to survive, they reached out to all living beings in the universe, absorbing their life essence to prolong their own existence."

"However... the life forms of Emperor-level beings are simply too advanced, so they choose to compensate for quality with quantity."

"The success of a Dark Sovereign means that countless ancient stars and great domains will perish as a result."

"If several or even a dozen Dark Sovereigns launch a Dark Turmoil together, and it is not controlled, all life in the universe is at risk of being wiped out."

"This... is the truth behind my decision to take action."

Lin Xiu originally did not intend to tell Weiwei about these things too early, but there was no way around it. It seemed that Gai Jiuyou had already revealed everything that needed to be revealed, so there was no harm in him saying a little more.

.......

Another silence followed.

Because Lin Xiu's understanding of the Dark Turmoil was extremely detailed.

Did Lin Xiu embark on the path of cultivation knowing all this all along?

[Damn! The Great Accomplishment Holy Body lineage is simply demonic! How can they put so much pressure on their descendants?!]

Lin Xiu's situation made Gai Jiuyou once again inwardly criticize the inhumanity of the Holy Body lineage.

After all, in his and everyone else's eyes, the reason Lin Xiu knew these things must be because the Holy Body lineage had a legacy left behind, right?

However........

Just as everyone was shocked and shaken by Lin Xiu's profound understanding of the Dark Turmoil, a mocking voice came from the side.

"Hmph! How arrogant!"

"The Holy Body will only begin to have combat power after it has reached its peak; otherwise, it will only be used as food by the Dark Sovereign."

"I think... you should just find a place to hide and not cause trouble for your master."

The speaker was Xia Jiuyou.

Xia Jiuyou clasped his hands in a fist salute. He wasn't very tall, but he spoke with an air of superiority.

However, when Lin Xiu saw the tears welling up in Xia Jiuyou's eyes as she spoke, he couldn't help but laugh.

Is this girl trying to persuade others not to join the war by attacking them in this way?

That's such a clumsy technique.

"Hmph!"

Xia Jiuyou noticed Lin Xiu's smile and immediately turned her head away, no longer looking at him.

Are you kidding me? What if she actually cries if we look at each other again? ...That would be incredibly embarrassing!

To avoid this situation, Xia Jiuyou hurriedly adopted a haughty and arrogant demeanor, raising his head and turning his face to the side.

Of course... in Lin Xiu's eyes, even so, she couldn't hold back the tears in the corners of her eyes.

.......

Lin Xiuzheng's attention was drawn to Xia Jiuyou.

Suddenly, Weiwei stepped forward and stood before Lin Xiu, gazing at him with her incredibly bright and intelligent eyes:

"Senior Brother Lin."

“Junior Sister Xia’s words make sense. Even if Senior Brother’s combat strength is heaven-defying, you cannot face the Supreme Being until you have achieved the Great Perfection of the Holy Body.”

"More than two hundred years... is still too short."

Weiwei wanted to try to persuade him again, but Lin Xiu had something else on his mind:

"Junior Sister Xia? Weiwei, you're accepting the situation way too quickly, aren't you?"

Lin Xiu was surprised that Weiwei had called him "Junior Sister" before he had even called her. Weiwei was too quick to understand.

Vivi's smile remained unchanged, with no hint of embarrassment in her eyes.

"Senior brother is joking. Although we are not from the same sect, your junior sister is Weiwei's junior sister."

"Mr. Gai, you agree, right?"

Gai Jiuyou: "......."

Gai Jiuyou couldn't help but chuckle.

Just a few minutes ago, Weiwei said that Xia Jiuyou was a cursed lone star and shouldn't affect others.

And now, he's even calling her "junior sister"? His attitude has changed way too quickly.

Gai Jiuyou understood why Weiwei did this.

First she called Xia Jiuyou her junior sister, then she asked him questions. Wasn't she just trying to get him to persuade Lin Xiu again?

Just then, Gai Jiuyou also felt that Lin Xiu shouldn't participate in the battle, so he coughed tactically and said in a deep voice:

"Ahem~ Weiwei is right. Although she and You'er are not from the same sect, since they both have the same senior brother, their seniority should still be clearly defined."

"You'er, why don't you come over and greet Senior Sister Weiwei?"

"what?"

Xia Jiuyou's face, which was holding back tears, froze, and her whole body went numb.

No... calling her Senior Brother Lin Xiu is one thing, but why does Gai Jiuyou also make her call her Senior Sister Weiwei?! They're not even from the same sect.

what? !

"You'er? Why don't you come and greet your senior sister?" Gai Jiuyou gently reminded her.

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

Since Gai Jiuyou had spoken, Xia Jiuyou had no choice but to walk up to Weiwei and reluctantly bow.
