Furthermore, Li Lin was very curious whether this "Ping'an Ji" was also part of "Heaven's" scheme.
[Heaven] did not actually sense him.
It has long since lost itself.
His scheme was more like a rejection reaction to a foreign object inserted into a corpse.
The stronger he performed, the more targeted he became.
However, his main body, which was slowly refining the [Heaven]—the most special [component]—was finding it much easier.
If he achieves the Dao Fruit, he can refine it in an instant.
Therefore, he was very much looking forward to this so-called "Ping'an Ji".
The fantasy version of Cedric was surprised, "Your reaction... I'm not saying you're abnormal, it's just completely different from what I imagined."
"Should I ask why these rules were established?" Li Lin shrugged. "It's actually quite normal from another perspective. Every True Disciple is a precious asset of the sect, and only True Disciple, and even elders, can truly possess a [Cave Heaven]."
"Even immortals are only elders from the perspective of a sect."
"In other words, from the sect's perspective, the value of True Disciple and an immortal is to some extent the same."
"As a measure of this value, the [Cave Heaven] is naturally worthy of attention."
"Your Ping'an Ji should be a branch that prioritizes your own safety above all else, with enlightenment being secondary."
"No, if we die, we will just be dead geniuses. We are much more valuable to the sect if we become elders or even immortals," Li Ke retorted.
"Li Ke is right, your survival is the most important thing."
Within the brilliant sea of stars, [Doumu Yuanjun] looked at Li Lin earnestly and said.
Bu La to the side, nodded repeatedly.
This boundless sea of stars is Li Lin's [Cave Heaven].
[Doumu Yuanjun] is incredibly wealthy and generous, and she invested a massive star brimming with boundless Star Power, transforming the nascent [Cave Heaven], which barely reflected the light of a dozen or so stars, into its current form.
It is constantly expanding and improving.
It is itself a manifestation of the "Primal Star Scripture".
An hour has passed since then.
The distribution ceremony has ended, but Li Lin has not yet decided whether to join the Ping'an Ji.
He returned to the dormitory arranged for him in this fantasy version of Hogwarts— [Dongtian].
[Doumu Yuanjun], Buola soon came knocking on the door.
Li Lin did not refuse them entry according to the rules, but instead relayed the "Rules of the Lord of the Grotto-Heaven".
Both of them clearly agreed.
"Li Lin, I believe that even if you don't join the Ping'an Ji, every rule is worth following, especially the sixth one." Bu La glanced at Doumu Yuanjun. "If someone suddenly goes berserk, you won't be able to resist."
"Sixth, do not allow any cultivators to enter the cave heaven," [Doumu Yuanjun] said calmly, "You are also a cultivator."
"But this rule holds true because even the weakest cultivator can potentially cultivate a Dao that counters their own by learning from the Dao of the master within the Cave Heaven." Buola shook her head. "But I am already a Profound Abyss, and my Dao Body has already suffered a calamity. It is impossible for me to reverse the Origin of the Dao."
"Moreover, Li Lin's Way is all-encompassing and already possesses the characteristics of a source and stream of the Way."
"I also used this skill to develop magical abilities specifically targeting him."
"Given that I am weaker than Li Lin, I do not believe I would be a threat under the rules."
"But someone else is different."
After discovering that the old woman, Doumu Yuanjun, coveted Li Lin, Buola began to confront her head-on.
Will the Mother of Stars truly allow the Lord of Stars to be born?
"A silly girl is a silly girl," [Doumu Yuanjun] said with the composure of a first wife. "What Li Lin wants to achieve is not the title of [Lord of the Stars]. What he wants to prove is this universe and the unity of his body and the cosmos."
"Even if what you say is true, my targeting will only become resources for his growth."
"Truly remarkable, [using his body to manifest the starry sky, and his primordial spirit to transform into a star god], he actually used this to break the flaw of the [Profound Yellow Tribulation]."
Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and her feelings for Li Lin grew even stronger.
Even a top-tier True Immortal like her would find it difficult to deal with a cultivator who has reached the ultimate realm of the [Profound Yellow Tribulation] [Buzhou].
A cultivator at the [Buzhou Realm] who has no flaws, no imperishable physical body, inexhaustible Dao energy, and unlimited growth potential is essentially equivalent to an [Immortal].
Throughout history, no one has ever been able to break through to the next level and attain the Dao Fruit using this extreme state (Xuanhuang Immortal, one of the Four Founding Immortals, attained the Dao Fruit when the Profound Yellow Tribulation and Buzhou were not yet the extreme states. Immortals who reached the Buzhou Realm all abandoned the extreme states and attained immortality through the Beast Book or the Hundred Herbs Record).
However, Li Lin broke through the barrier of the [Profound Yellow Tribulation] Immortal Path without abandoning the Profound Yellow Dao.
Such merits are greater than becoming an immortal!
"What a pity. The Heavenly Spirit Root [Zhou Jie] that I prepared for you is no longer of use to you."
"My help to you as your master is too small. Even without me, you would definitely become an immortal."
Doumu Yuanjun sighed.
That celestial root, resembling a piece of glass coral, with branches flowing with star marrow and leaf veins concealing Star Track, its 129,600 fruits all being dazzling galaxies, seemed to contain a whole universe within it. It swayed its branches and leaves, as if sighing, regretting that it could not become Li Lin's external spiritual root.
"Without you, the Dark Magic Fairy wouldn't have given me time to grow," Li Lin said.
The "Rules of the Lord of the Grotto-Heavens" are indeed without any omissions.
But there are people who enforce this rule.
Li Lin, after all, did not achieve immortality or attain the Dao fruit.
Even if Li Lin only travels in an avatar, the [Dark Magic Fairy] could still hide among spiritual materials and enter Li Lin's [Cave Heaven].
Li Lin cannot die in this realm; his death would restore his true nature, causing this celestial realm to collapse, and the [Incomplete Component] to escape.
Its very nature makes it impossible for it to be manipulated or possessed.
This method is tantamount to killing his physical body, returning him to his essence.
"[Dark Magic Fairy]." [Doumu Yuanjun] frowned. "This guy is indeed a big problem."
"Immortals are immortal and indestructible. Even if their Dao Fruit is dismembered and their soul is divided into billions of pieces and Oblivion into nothingness, they can return in full glory in an instant."
"Although he can suppress it, the existence of the [Great Dark Magic Curse] and [Jade Exquisite] allows him to still transform into countless forms."
"It seems that I will have to follow you around at all times."
Her voice was low, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.
"Every single moment?" Buola exploded. "You're up to no good!"
"Oh?" [Doumu Yuanjun] teased, "Even if I really have ulterior motives, Li Lin's safety is the most important thing, and your selfishness can only come second."
"You can clearly stay and guard Junior Brother Li's cave, which will ensure his safety!" Buola said.
"You have not attained the [Dao Fruit], so you do not know the mysteries of this realm." [Doumu Yuanjun] blatantly lied.
"I agree with Senior Sister Bu," Li Lin said quickly.
He is about to reach the [Nine Tribulations Realm]. If [Doumu Yuanjun] were here, she would definitely be a 'loving mother' and would disagree with his way of undergoing tribulation, which is considered crazy by ordinary cultivators.
