The sound of footsteps echoed from afar, and a giant approached, holding a jade slip.
Lin Yu flew over, and the giant handed him the jade slip. Lin Yu took it and placed it on his forehead.
Boom!
A massive influx of information flooded his mind, leaving him momentarily dazed.
After a long while, he came back to himself, put down the jade slip, and sighed, "Though small, this jade slip contains cultivation knowledge and techniques from two worlds."
Indeed, this jade slip held the cultivation knowledge from the Demon Lord's world, as well as cultivation knowledge gathered from this world.
The cultivation systems of these two worlds were not vastly different; even the names of the cultivation realms were the same. Lin Yu strongly suspected that these two worlds had been connected in the distant past.
After reading the information, Lin Yu smiled.
This was because it contained not only a vast amount of cultivation knowledge but also numerous techniques.
He even discovered a technique that could cultivate him to the Immortal realm.
"The Void Longevity Technique!"
"This technique cultivates the power of the void. It excels in gentleness and stability, progressing steadily and peacefully. Its combat ability is average, but its lifespan is incredibly long, offering twice the lifespan of ordinary immortals."
"For me, this technique is somewhat redundant. However, cultivating it to its peak allows for step-by-step comprehension of the void power. In terms of the Divine Path, this means comprehending the laws of the void and achieving divinity."
"Although the two systems appear different, they share fundamental commonalities."
"However, the Divine Path system has a drawback: the process of breaking through to the Divine realm is too dependent on luck."
"Unlike the Immortal Path system, as long as one's talent is not poor, one can cultivate to the Immortal realm step by step. Of course, this is contingent on the world being able to accommodate immortals. The current world cannot accommodate immortals; one can never become an immortal here, even until death."
He understood several breakthrough methods within the Divine Path system, but none of them could make one a god. The breakthrough methods were often crude, relying heavily on talent and luck.
The methods of the Divine Path system were exceedingly simple, often involving a single meditation technique used for a lifetime. They seemed to have never considered the idea of creating techniques.
"I'll give this technique to Lin Wu to comprehend. I hope he gains something from it, allowing me to gain more insights into cultivation," Lin Yu mused.
This was a longevity technique, not very powerful in offense, which he disliked. Furthermore, he was still searching for a suitable path to break through and become a god. While the Immortal Path was good, he wanted to explore further.
"With this matter settled, it's time to leave!"
He put away the jade slip, and the giant grew to a height of ten thousand meters. Lin Yu stepped onto the giant's shoulder.
"You all come up too!"
"Thank you, Lord Lin Yu!" the researchers exclaimed excitedly.
This was a giant comparable to a god. The fact that they could stand on a god's shoulder was a tremendous honor.
Once they were on board, Lin Yu silently recited, "Go!"
Boom!
The giant stomped on the ground, shaking it as if an earthquake of magnitude ten had struck.
Lin Yu then murmured, "As I wish, as I wish, according to my heart's desire! Speed!"
Boom!
The As-I-Wish rule transformed into a white light and entered the giant's body. Soon, a pair of white wings sprouted from the giant's back.
Boom!
The giant flapped its wings and soared into the sky, heading towards the spatial passage.
The journey was swift and incredibly fast.
As they passed a small hill, Lin Yu gave a slight exclamation and called out, "Stop!"
Everyone looked puzzled, wondering why Lin Yu had ordered a halt.
He smiled and said, "Descend."
The giant nodded and began to descend.
At this moment.
On this small hill stood a rather exquisite Taoist temple.
Inside the temple, in the courtyard, a young man lay on a reclining chair, basking in the sun.
In the eastern part of the courtyard, a young boy was meditating and cultivating. In the western part of the courtyard, a dust-covered girl was persistently refining pills.
The boy was silent, speaking very little, spending his days in cultivation, even during sleep.
The girl, however, was very talkative, chattering incessantly.
Bang!
The pill furnace was opened again. She glanced at the pills inside and her face fell in dejection.
"Failed again. Master, are you lying to me? I just can't refine any pills."
A tiny figure, no larger than her palm, sitting beside her, covered its mouth and chuckled, "Don't rush. Effort always pays off. Don't close the furnace yet, let me have a whiff!"
"Hmph, you're making me furious!" The girl stood with her hands on her hips, growing increasingly angry.
Seeing that her senior brother had broken through another realm, reaching the Nascent Soul stage, while she had made no progress in alchemy, she felt a wave of discouragement.
"Master, don't sleep anymore. Teach me how to refine pills!" The girl ran to the young man and tugged on his arm, acting spoiled.
The young man woke up and said helplessly, "Stop shaking me. I've told you, the time isn't right yet. Wait a little longer."
He was also quite speechless. He had initially thought his second disciple's alchemy talent was just a bit peculiar, but he hadn't expected it to be so bizarre.
Even he couldn't understand why this second disciple always failed at refining pills, and why the failed pills were so potent, causing discomfort with just a whiff.
He couldn't fathom the girl's talent and planned to take her away from here and return to Blue Star for Lin Wu to research.
With Lin Wu's incredible comprehension, he should be able to figure out the reason, right?
He sighed inwardly, "Alas, I inherited my original body's comprehension. If I had Lin Wu's comprehension, wouldn't I be incredibly perceptive now..."
He grumbled silently to himself, unaware that high above, someone's mouth twitched.
"Make a bigger commotion. Remember to conceal your aura, don't let that brat see through it. Scare him a little!"
The giant nodded, put away his axe, and transformed into the appearance of the demon embryo. Six heads emanated monstrous demonic flames, but this demon embryo was ten thousand meters tall, far surpassing the three-meter demon embryo.
"Very good! Descend!" Lin Yu said with a smile.
The giant descended!
Instantly, the clouds dissipated, replaced by demonic clouds, and the entire sky was enveloped in black clouds.
The sun was obscured, and a powerful demonic aura permeated the heavens and earth, greatly alarming the young man below.
The girl looked solemn and asked, "Master, what's happening?"
The young man was terrified. This aura was too powerful, comparable to a god. But how could such a being exist in this world?
He swallowed and, thinking that he wouldn't die, shouted, "Li Qin, wake up quickly!"
Li Qin had already woken up and quickly came to Lin Fan's side.
"Master!"
"You two go first!"
"Master, you..."
"Go quickly!"
The two looked reluctant, but Lin Fan waved his sleeve and drove them away.
However, the next moment, Lin Fan's face turned grim, as he realized the surrounding space had been sealed off and he couldn't escape.
"Open!" He exerted all his strength, but it was in vain.
"Damn it, no way? Is this world trying to mess with me?" Lin Fan was speechless, his expression blank.
He could be resurrected if he died, but if his two disciples died, they would truly be gone.
"Break for me!"
The power Lin Fan gathered was at the peak of a pseudo-god, yet it still couldn't shake the surrounding blockade.
He despaired, his face filled with anger. "I'm truly unlucky, to encounter such a low-probability event. Big Brother, if I die, you must avenge me, my poor disciples!"
Hearing his words, his two disciples were moved to tears. Their master was so kind. But they were about to die, and in their next life, they would still be his disciples!
Suddenly.
The black clouds in the sky dispersed, the demon embryo vanished, and the giant appeared.
On the giant's shoulder stood a person identical to Lin Fan. He smiled and said, "Still talking badly about me?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Fan was immediately overcome with joy and tears.
He thought for a moment and understood what was happening. He touched his head and chuckled, "I won't say it, I won't say it, I definitely won't say it again. Don't scare me like this anymore!"
"Hmph, if I hear it again, I'll lock you up for a hundred years!" Lin Yu said deliberately to frighten him.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare!" Lin Fan apologized repeatedly.
Lin Yu's anger subsided, and he said, "Let's go, back to Blue Star."
Lin Fan didn't ask why. With a wave of his hand, he brought his two disciples and flew towards the giant.
Along the way, whether it was Dan Xi or his two disciples, they were all astonished.
They looked at the ten-thousand-meter-tall giant, then at the person on the giant's shoulder who was identical to Lin Fan, and instantly understood.
This was the "Big Brother" Lin Fan had spoken of.
But wasn't this Big Brother too powerful?
The closer they got, the more they could feel the giant's power, pressing down on them until they could barely breathe.
However, once they reached the giant's shoulder, the pressure instantly vanished.
"A few little fellows, your talent is quite good!"
Lin Fan quickly said, "Why aren't you greeting your martial uncle?"
"Greetings, Martial Uncle!"
"En, this is a meeting gift for you!"
Lin Yu waved his hand, and two damaged immortal artifacts appeared before the two of them.
The two looked at the damaged immortal artifacts in a daze. They pinched themselves fiercely, and when they realized it wasn't a dream, they were overcome with ecstasy.
"Thank you, Martial Uncle!"
