Li Lin's current fatigue is just a facade.
Even though Bula comes from the Four Symbols Sect and can borrow the power of immortals Bu La is not an ordinary "fusion" user.
However, even without the power from outside the universe, the information he has gathered since his birth is enough to unlock some of Li Lin's abilities, and Infinite Spiritual Power is just a basic characteristic.
Moreover, the manifestation of the [Great Dark Magic Curse] between Bu La's eyebrows—the [Thoughts], [Dao Fruit], and [Wisdom Light] of the Dark Magic Fairy]—contained far too much information in Li Lin's eyes.
This might be nothing more than a spell, an insignificant mark of power, in the Sage Eyes.
But in Li Lin's eyes, this was equivalent to the Dark Magic Fairy patiently teaching and revealing all that she had learned.
As a result, Li Lin achieved the [Primordial Spirit].
He also used the seventeen stars of the Xuanyuan Constellation to cultivate the Star Track, achieving the Yellow Dragon Incarnation, and breaking free from the Dark Star Witch's ability to restrain Xuanyuan Fourteen.
He did not defeat the Combined Body with the Nascent Soul, but with the Primordial Spirit.
"Very good, Bu La, you are finally yourself."
The police are always late.
Deng Si, the Phoenix Immortal, is also surrounded by the Five Virtues Qi and stands on a phoenix.
He had a head of red hair, a fair complexion, and no beard; he looked to be only 28 years old.
"Sect Master, why are you only arriving now? We almost—" Ron complained as he stood up, his legs trembling.
"I'm sorry, Ron." Deng Si his head, his eyes filled with sorrow. "I didn't expect Gellert to be on their side as well."
Grindelwald has betrayed us again?
That's right. Grindelwald only betrayed their relationship once, and in the end, he insisted on defending Dumbledore even to the death.
In this world, Grindelwald, who belongs to the same sect as Dumbledore, has never betrayed anyone.
This is the first time.
Deng Si seemed to hear the cricket chirping in Li Lin's heart, "You are Li Lin, right? I never expected that you also have the [Star Spirit Physique], and even cultivated the [Primordial Spirit]."
"An eighteen-year-old [primordial spirit], truly remarkable."
"The Dark Magic Fairy was born at the Integration Stage, while I only broke through in the heat of battle; before that, I was just at the Nascent Soul," Li Lin said.
"That's even more remarkable," Deng Si exclaimed. "Would you be willing to become my disciple?"
"You? You'd better not use your benevolent fire to pollute other people's path to immortality. [Great Love Immortal], without the [Phoenix], you are nothing."
"Furthermore, his [Star Spirit Physique] was cultivated later in life; it was simply a reversal of his innate constitution."
A majestic voice echoed from within the purple mist that filled the entire sky.
It was a huge star.
Even an airship the size of ten football fields would be nothing more than the Spot in its presence.
"[Doumu Yuanjun]!" Cassandra exclaimed, recognizing the immortal as her.
The same applies to Li Lin.
In this world, choosing a school is not based on an individual's thoughts or personality, but rather on which school the Fundamental Law that suits them best comes from.
Therefore, the Neville cultivation version was adapted into the corresponding version of Hufflepuff.
Almost the entire Black family, who Slytherin, ended up in Ravenclaw, also known as Azure Nether Fortress, in this world.
Doumu Yuanjun is an immortal of the Bu clan. Her Natal Star is Yaoguang, which symbolizes change and development. However, through her cultivation, she created the Primal Star Scripture, which encompasses the movement of all the stars in the world and [uses her body as the starry sky to nurture the universe].
It is too profound. The basic chapter of Azure Nether Fortress, "Collection of Stars", is so difficult that even the most Spiritual Wisdom cultivators in the fortress can only sigh in despair. Only those who have reached the "Unity" stage can get a glimpse of it.
Those cultivators who specialize in the study of stars can only settle for the second choice: the Star Derivation Diagram and the Star Destiny Art.
"He should be my disciple."
Within the enormous celestial body that seemed to have conceived the stars of the heavens, a female Star Chart Robe appeared.
Her skin was as white as snow, and her hair was as black as ink.
Its powerful aura is both as cold as the vast and desolate universe, and as a concrete manifestation of the vibrant life force at the beginning of the universe, full of maternal warmth.
If it weren't Li Lin who had mastered this Star Power, someone else would probably have transformed into a yellow dragon and started calling for their mother.
Bu La is a good example.
She had only minored in the Path of Stars, and her cultivation level was at the [Integration Stage]. Her eyes were full of affection as she said, "Mother."
The Star Power surrounding him seemed to come alive, worshipping him.
It is important to understand that the so-called fusion in the [Integration Stage] is the complete unification of consciousness and one's own power.
As long as Mental Power is inexhaustible, one's Mana will never cease.
Not to mention that Bu La, who came from the Profound Nether Abyss and mainly cultivated the Nether Blood Collection, had already achieved the fusion of consciousness and power and transformed into a Dao Body at the Nether Molting Stage, which is equivalent to the Golden Core stage.
The [Netherworld Transformation] and [Mysterious Abyss], which are equivalent to the [Primordial Spirit] and [Combined Profound Abyss], have even preemptively triggered tribulations and possess the [Nine Tribulations Dao Body], which is almost equivalent to the [Tribulation Crossing] realm of near-immortals.
The only thing missing from achieving the [Dao Fruit] is the accumulation of power and the Dao.
Doumu Yuanjun seemed to see through Li Lin's question, "If she had focused on cultivating the [Collection of Stars] or the [Wisdom Scripture of the Root of All Laws] like the other members of the Tongbu Clan, she wouldn't be in this situation."
"The call from the Dao is something that a cultivator like her, who has not yet forged a Dao Heart, cannot resist."
"My Five Virtues Book can resist the call of the Dao at the Golden Core stage," Deng Si interjected. "The Path of Stars has already produced a source of the Dao like Doumu Yuanjun, making it very difficult for you to break through its barriers."
"Your Five Virtues?" Doumu Yuanjun said, "Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness are merely constraints. Even if you attain immortality by relying on them, you will not be free."
"The Dao is the foundation upon which cultivators stand."
"Freedom? The greatest freedom is to practice one's own ideas," Deng Si retorted.
Azure Nether Fortress and Crimson Firmament Pavilion are actually practicing the Dao and prioritizing the Dao.
One is more inclined to explore outwards, while the other is more inclined to dig inwards.
Therefore, one emphasizes [intelligence], and the other emphasizes [heart].
Just like how both [Profound Nether Abyss] and [Kun Yuan Valley] pursued [a flawless Dao body] and prematurely triggered tribulations.
One emphasizes the "Dao" within the "Dao Body," pursuing "union with the Dao"; the other emphasizes the "Body" within, pursuing "Indestructible Through Ten Thousand Tribulations, Tribulation Fire True Gold through the fires of calamity."
The only difference is the walking sticks; the destination is the same.
This kind of debate, even if it goes on for a hundred years, will never reach a conclusion.
Furthermore, Li Lin had already formed a bias in his mind.
He pretended to be deep in thought, but he was just trying to imitate the "Immortal Dao Aura". Unfortunately, after the appearance of "Doumu Yuanjun", all the other faint "Immortal Dao Aura" disappeared.
This also confirms one of his ideas.
Perhaps, choosing either option, or not choosing at all, is like the way Bellatrix in the cultivation version restrained him—it's all a form of targeting from [Heaven].
He didn't become an apprentice, but the fact is he was already exposed to the Dark Magic Sect.
Perhaps he has already caught the eye of Voldemort -like figure, becoming a thorn in the side like Harry Potter.
If one were to seek a master, a relatively neutral yet powerful lineage would be far better than the Five Virtues Sect, which is at odds with the Dark Magic Sect.
The lineage is based on the Dharma, and practitioners who cultivate the same Dharma are naturally mutually beneficial.
Branch lineages, on the other hand, prioritize shared ideals and beliefs, and may not necessarily practice the same techniques.
If one wishes to quickly achieve the Dao Fruit and embed oneself into the Dao in order to refine the components, then choosing Doumu Yuanjun would be more appropriate.
However, this also has the drawback of having too many paths, making it difficult to break free from the constraints of the path and attain enlightenment.
However, this was not a flaw for Li Lin, but rather an advantage.
Just as the immortal version of Bellatrix restrained him from every dimension, she also revealed the mysteries of the Dao Fruit to him at the same time.
The heaven that he was refining was indeed targeting him, but this targeting was based on the native Li Lin, who was the transmigrator Li Lin.
While the outside world was only a second away from his thoughts, Li Lin already had his answer.
"Is it difficult to break through the barriers? Is it as difficult as the Four Sect-Guarding Scriptures?" he said.
The Four Sect-Guarding Scriptures are the Collection of Mysterious Darkness, the Profound Yellow Tribulation, the Crimson Heart Record, and the Wisdom Scripture of the Root of All Laws, whose name is completely different from the style of other paintings.
All disciples of the Four Symbols Sect School either primarily or secondarily cultivate one of these four schools.
Even the so-called 'traitors' of the Dark Magic Sect are no exception.
Even now, the Four Founding Immortals could not fully comprehend the principles contained within these Four Classics.
In the last ten thousand years, no one has been able to break through its barriers and become an immortal.
They can create a "tribulation" equivalent to a "Tao Fruit," but no one can complete the final, ultimate leap.
Countless immortals believe that as long as one can become an immortal through one of the Four Classics, one will surely be able to glimpse the realm beyond the Dao Fruit.
"Of course not." Doumu Yuanjun and Phoenix Immortal Deng Si said the same thing, but their tones were completely different, one was joyful and the other was disappointed.
They all understood Li Lin's answer.
The benefits that a genius disciple like Li Lin brings to them during their cultivation are far greater for immortals than those of trillions of mortals.
If they could be guided to immortality, they could take another big step forward in the seemingly endless Dao Fruit Realm.
However, Deng Si was not disappointed by this. His disappointment stemmed from the realization that Li Lin was not interested in his righteous cause and only wanted to mind his own business.
Doumu Yuanjun was not pleased by this.
She valued Li Lin more; his appearance stirred her heart, which had been desolate for millennia since birth.
Li Lin was not pleased by Doumu Yuanjun's favoritism.
In fact, this is a constraint.
If it is something to be cherished, then one will be careful and consider all aspects to find the 'perfect' teaching method for him.
However, this 'perfection' is only from the perspective of [Doumu Yuanjun].
Just like a mother who spoils her child doesn't realize she's spoiling him.
However, Li Lin was not discouraged by this.
Choosing the cultivation-themed version of Dumbledore also limits one's freedom to grow.
He would actively use various methods to restrict what he considered to be 'unjust' practices.
For example, it includes traps such as the idea that one's power will be greatly reduced once one enters the so-called "demonic path," and the Dao Art techniques that one must learn and abide by because of one's own vows.
This would be tantamount to wasting the precious information that Li Lin obtained from the cultivation version of Voldemort.
This isn't because he's suffering from victim syndrome. For example, if the cultivation version of Ron loses his "righteousness," even his "Chess Sword" (a martial arts style based on chess) will lose its luster.
When Doumu Yuanjun said that "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness are merely constraints," she wasn't trying to put anyone down, but rather stating the truth.
If you don't choose to become an apprentice, you are free.
But all there is is freedom.
Voldemort was shameless enough to lay a hand on a baby.
A cultivation version of Voldemort wouldn't be much worse; this infant might not even have a chance to grow up.
"Can we go now?" the baby asked urgently.
The most important thing is to quickly enter the sect and obtain one of the Four Classics.
This will determine the path he takes afterward.
This will definitely be the next target of [Heaven].
"Of course." [Doumu Yuanjun]'s gaze towards Li Lin revealed her undisguised affection for the man, until she glanced at her good-for-nothing clansman, Bula, before she Bu La herself somewhat.
The moment the words fell, the entire [Star Mist Sea] seemed to open up with boundless purple mist, and countless Starlight descended towards the direction where Li Lin and the others were.
"Have we arrived?" Cassandra asked in a dreamlike voice from the crowd.
She didn't feel anything unusual, but after the Starlight on her, the scene before her changed.
It was as if the Jade Black Stone Platform they were standing on, the endless white clouds and the blue sky beneath it, had all been hidden under the [Star Mist Sea] from the very beginning.
The Starlight merely lifted the curtain.
"Yes, you've arrived." Deng Si appeared from the firelight atop the Phoenix. "The Azure Nether Fortress is in the blue sky above us."
"Under the white clouds are, in order: [Crimson Firmament Pavilion], [Kun Yuan Valley], and [Profound Nether Abyss]."
"You will be divided here."
"It will determine which branch you belong to."
"Where am I?" On the Four Symbols Platform, which is used for diversion, Buola finally woke up. The fist-sized gash between her eyebrows had Heal Like New. "Uh, the initiation ceremony? No, I should have entered the Profound Nether Abyss a hundred years ago."
"Yuanjun, Sect Master, what's wrong?"
As they spoke, the water vapor condensed into a mirror in front of them.
"Why am I dressed like this? It's just too much!"
Her messy hair and plain black clothes displeased her, and she immediately shifted her attention away from them.
Star Power surged, and moonlight appeared out of nowhere above its head and fell down.
Silver-Inlaid Azure Jade Hairpin, Moon White Gauze Shawl, Azure Jade Anklet, Pearl-Adorned Necklace, and a Moon Pendant all appeared and were automatically put on her body.
Her messy hair became orderly, spontaneously tied into Morning Cloud Fragrant Bun, with two strands of Flowing Cloud Bun hanging down by her temples.
The monotonous black ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) began to feature lotus patterns embroidered with gold and silver threads.
"That's right."
Bura's voice regained its girlish clarity.
The strange expressions on the faces of the people on stage were understandable; it was as if the bald, snake-faced man had regained his handsome appearance with a full head of hair.
But Barrett was the most aggressive among them.
His parents' Dao Foundation were corrupted by his Dark Star, forcing them to Disperse and Rebirth and rebirth.
He hoped that the Dark Star Witch Buola was acting out of her own malice, rather than due to the influence of the Great Dark Magic Curse.
But reality is not like that.
Li Lin was surprised.
This cultivation-themed version of Bellatrix didn't actively follow Voldemort.
That makes sense, after all, the Bu Clan produced an immortal, and their own immortal is enough to be worshipped and used as a source of spiritual sustenance.
Moreover, their ancestors are still alive (the Nascent Soul stage allows one to escape the Longevity Pill and achieve immortality).
In this situation, it's quite difficult to go astray.
