Preparations Before Becoming an Immortal in a Single Thought

Neither side is in the right right at the moment.

The list of participants was determined by the heart; it was Li Lin who first had the idea to participate, and that's why his name appeared on the list.

At the same time, Doumu Yuanjun had just lost her [self] and [Dao Nature] nature to prevent her disciple from participating in the martial arts competition, and then forced the disciple to change her mind and participate, even though the disciple had just completed the Immortal Tribulation.

If Li Lin's path hadn't been so clearly connected to the Dao Fruit, the immortals wouldn't have shamelessly forced him to do so.

In the end, Li Lin agreed to participate. After quietly communicating with the [Time Immortal] and [Artifact Immortal], he gained two [Immortal Sutra] and one [Embryo of Creation Immortal Artifact] in his hands.

It's not that he can't ask for more; if it weren't for the pursuit of being different, immortals would want to spread the "Immortal Sutra" everywhere.

However, before that thing is completed, he still needs to play the inch-stop challenge, so this is all he can ask for.

"No, impossible! How could you possess the [Eight Phases Qi]!"

Wude looked at Li Lin, his mind reeling.

Dressed in a dark yellow robe and wearing a gilded crown, he resembled a youth manifesting from the vast starry sky, surrounded by the eight elements of heaven, earth, wind, mountain, thunder, water, marsh, and fire.

Li Lin is not Qi Refiners, but at this moment he fully displays the Eight Phases Qi, which is known as the King of Qi, and it just barely reaches the level of Wude.

Not only Wude, but also the inner disciples of the Four Symbols Sect who were watching the battle through gaps in the Cloud Top, and the martial arts contestants who had already left the arena, were all quite surprised.

The tribulation that Li Lin underwent was too mysterious and unpredictable. The immortals also kept their words to themselves and did not let them out. Therefore, in their eyes, Li Lin was just a newly minted cultivator of the [Nine Tribulations Stage] who had just passed one tribulation and whose realm was equivalent to the [Integration Stage].

Although few people in the "True Disciple" have reached this level, it is not unattainable.

His [One Tribulation - Profound Yellow Sacred Body], which was so powerful that it was impossible to bury him or destroy him, had its value diminished considerably in the [Mount Sumeru Illusionary Realm], where the [Dao] reigned supreme and no one among the participants could die.

As a newly initiated cultivator, even if he were to become a disciple of [Doumu Yuanjun], he should not have had time to cultivate any terrifying [supernatural powers].

However.

They were wrong.

Wude was Li Lin's seventh opponent.

Facing each opponent, he would stand with his hands behind his back, wielding an unknown supernatural power he called "Shift of Stars," a power that seemed to replicate the enemy's methods and reproduce them at an even higher level.

Neither the Void Assassination Technique, which is known as the king of executions at the level of supernatural powers, nor the Eight Phases King Qi, which is the focus of Qi Cultivator and is connected to their foundation and cultivation methods, can escape its constraints.

This is not merely an imitation of its form, but a complete capture of its essence.

This can only prove that his [Qi], [Body], [Spirit], [Mind], and [Dao] have all progressed in tandem and reached unfathomable levels, which is why he can unleash such vast and mysterious [Great Divine Ability].

"How is this possible?" Mengtai, one of the losers who had been completely eliminated and came from the [Profound Nether Abyss], also realized this.

Although he is only at the [Nether Molting Stage], having only initially killed the materiality of his physical body and reconstructed it with [True Blood], he is still far from the [Netherworld Transformation] stage, which kills the [Spiritual Essence] of his primordial spirit, and the [Profound Abyss] stage, which achieves the [Profound Abyss Body] through [Tribulation Binding and Gathering].

But he also recognized the aura of the [Dao Body].

Even though Li Lin mainly cultivates the Path of Stars, and his [One Tribulation Dao Body] does not show the color of Xuanhuang, its aura is still clearly that of a flawless figure of [sacrificing heart and soul], without deviating from the orthodox path.

Clearly, it does not pursue "perfection in appearance", but rather aims for the ultimate state of "perfection in every way".

As a legitimate cultivator of the Profound Yellow Tribulation, Li Lin should only have nine layers of Li Lin Profound Yellow Chi remaining. He should not, and could not, possess Dao Heart and Primordial Spirit.

But beneath the gaps in the clouds, Li Lin, who had erased the Shadow of Dao Wude and sought out another opponent, revealed his purest and sharpest Dao Heart before him.

Its name is "One Heart Sword", which uses the heart as a sword and has only one heart.

Rejecting other paths, breaking all laws, restoring the flow of chaotic time, calming the folded space, and bringing all things back to their origin, this sword now appeared in the hand of that dark yellow figure.

Opposite him stood a black-haired youth dressed in a crimson robe, also wielding a similar sword.

Goodbye, Harry.

Li Lin brandished his sword.

"Harry Potter's dead! Harry Potter's dead!" Ron, who had left early, shouted.

"No, Harry Potter isn't dead," Barrett said speechlessly, pointing to a figure not far away. "Look, he's back. He's just leaving, just like us."

"What a pity, I would rather die at Li Lin's hands. I want to see my stronger version of [Ten Suns Sky Patrol]."

--it's a pity.

Li Lin, standing beneath the Cloud Top, pondered to himself.

He also regrets not meeting the fantasy version of Ron and Neville, namely Ron and Barrett.

He had already noticed the disappearance of their energy.

The only place that could currently obscure their senses was above the Cloud Top —the area where the immortals, the audience, and the contestants who had withdrawn from the competition were located.

Even the immortals were filled with regret and remorse.

Because Li Lin's reappearance of supernatural powers is not only a combination of physical and spiritual qualities, but the Dao that underpins it is also slightly superior on the basis of being identical.

For them, trying to understand Li Lin's way was like trying to see flowers through the fog—it was elusive and hard to grasp.

There was some gain, but not much.

It was only slightly more than what Li Lin had gained from his opponent.

However.

There are two different immortals: the [Artifact Immortal] and the [Time Immortal].

— [Jade Butterfly of Creation]?

—Using the [Innate Divine Prohibition] in battle? Using a [Celestial Artifact] as a mirror to inscribe [Dao Mark]? Wouldn't the name [Divine Mirror of Creation] be better?

Although it was only for a moment, the [Artifact Immortal] had already sensed that the [Immortal Artifact Embryo] he had given it had taken shape, and the name that Li Lin had given it was now covered with dense but weak [Innate Divine Prohibition].

—Why entrust your own path to the past, and remain in the world in a phantom form?

—However, it's no wonder that only I could perceive it, since I just obtained my "Time Sutra" and can apply it in this way.

The point that [Time Immortal] sensed was completely different. He stared at the [Zhulong] behind Li Lin, a creature from the past that blotted out the sky, and was filled with utter horror.

In short, neither of the immortals knew the reason, but they could only make out what Li Lin had probably done.

Only Li Lin knew the answer.

He was preparing to attain immortality in a single thought—a realm he called the "Dao Ancestor."

It became the origin of the Great Way.

In this way, we can seize that [Incomplete Component] in one fell swoop, and prepare the necessary resources for it.

The Jade Butterfly of Creation is [that thing], which is like a computer that is physically disconnected from the internet, while the Dao Mark are the information that has been entered.

[Shift of Stars] is the keyboard. Li Lin can sense the degeneration of others' abilities through Qi perception and manually input it—preventing the [Incomplete Component] from further compromising with Hakimi's stress.

As for storing information in the past, it's to digest and organize the information on the computer in advance, compile it into tables, and put them in different folders.

This is also for safety, so that one can become an immortal in the past.

As for insisting on "returning the favor in kind," it's because this is essentially a ritual of concealment, "Using the methods of others to hide oneself."

This technique was learned from the "Dark Magic Fairy".
