Although the martial arts competition prioritizes 'class participation score' over 'final exam score', the two who left last also had good 'class participation scores' and fought each other to the death multiple times.
Most importantly, Li Lin, a strong contender, is no longer considered a player.
He has been promoted to the organizer before the martial arts competition begins.
"Your two little lovers look quite surprised," [Three Caverns True Immortal] teased.
While she was making fun of Li Lin, she was also secretly criticized by Li Lin.
Although she shares the same face as [Doumu Yuanjun], she looks younger and has an ethereal, Sage Aura.
Standing next to Doumu Yuanjun, who possesses both maternal qualities and loving eyes and brows, she, as the aunt, looks more like the daughter.
"What filthy thoughts are you having? I won't end up like my niece, all barren and unfulfilled." [Three Caverns True Immortal] narrowed his eyes, looking somewhat fierce but actually weak.
"Real?"
Li Lin countered with a question.
"Really." [Three Caverns True Immortal] changed the subject, "For the sake of your master, I'll allow you to know my name. Nie Yun."
—Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun?
For a fleeting moment, Li Lin's thoughts wandered, "My master's name is Bu Ting?"
"Of course, my niece thinks she can hide her true intentions by not exchanging names." Nie Yun, the Three Caverns True Immortal, sneered.
"Should I make a move against you now?" Doumu Yuanjun, who had been expressionless and robotic at the same time, frowned.
Although she has lost her self, and her physical body is governed by her Dao Nature, her memories and thought patterns remain. If she wanted to imitate her past self, she could still do so flawlessly.
She is now simply disdainful, trying to examine the past from the perspective of the "Tao".
After a long silence, she finally came to a conclusion.
She looked at Li Lin and said, word by word, "I want to be with you."
"You mean this is the one who made the move? Not me?" [Three Caves True Man] Three Corpse Gods jumped wildly, "What a disgrace to our family!"
Doumu Yuanjun ignored her aunt and continued to say to Li Lin, "I am the master, and disciples cannot disobey their masters. If you like, Bu La Phoebe, Luna Hugo, Cassandra, Robin, Ivy, Winifred, and even my aunt can come along."
She seemed to have abandoned all shame and integrity, acting purely out of self-interest.
"This will greatly benefit our cultivation."
"Don't worry that my aunt won't agree; I can tell she's interested."
"You're talking nonsense!" Nie Yun couldn't sit still any longer, overwhelmed by her niece's way of speaking, which sounded like reciting a menu.
—This kind of disgraceful niece must be dealt with severely!
The cycle repeated, and the [Primordial Void], which could permanently suppress ordinary immortals, condensed again in his palm and appeared in front of [Doumu Yuanjun] in an instant.
"Stop."
Li Lin seemed to have the imperial decree in his mouth.
The moment the sound faded, everything froze.
Nie Yun and her niece seemed to be encased in invisible amber.
Three breaths later, the restraints on [Doumu Yuanjun] disappeared, and she retreated behind Li Lin.
Four breaths later, Nie Yun broke free of her restraints.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with shock. "How... how could you..."
It should be noted that she and Doumu Yuanjun, giants among immortals, have both attained the Wuji (limitless) achievement in the realms of mind, body, qi, spirit, and Dao.
Li Lin's actual cultivation level was only at the [Buzhou Realm]. If he hadn't run out of tribulations to draw upon and hadn't generated [Dao Qi], he would have been at the [Nine Tribulations Stage], which is the [Integration Stage].
[Qi Refining] [Golden Nascent Soul] [Nascent Soul] [Primordial Spirit] [Body Integration] [Tribulation Transcending] [Dao Fruit]
Don't be fooled by the fact that the [Combination] and [Dao Fruit] are only one major realm apart.
However, the distance between [Tribulation Crossing] and [Dao Fruit] is greater than the distance between [Qi Refining] and [Tribulation Crossing].
Ordinary immortals who have only attained the "Dao of Boundlessness" are still far from becoming true immortal giants, lacking the four "Limitless" achievements of "Mind," "Body," "Qi," and "Spirit."
"Perhaps Ting'er is right."
Those who can become immortals are all people who are single-mindedly devoted to the Great Dao.
Dual cultivation is the best way to communicate.
Moreover, she already had feelings for Li Lin.
Both pairs of beautiful eyes turned to look at Li Lin.
Now the pressure is on him.
If it were before the calamity, he certainly wouldn't refuse; that would be a good thing.
However, for Li Lin, who can only enjoy the Inch Stop Challenge through the [Jade of Creation], this is a disaster.
In the end, the small head will be happy, but the big head will be lost.
"Why not?" Li Lin chose to do the opposite.
"This... see you later." [Three Caverns True Immortal] chickened out, as if he could see his future as being truly trapped in the Three Caves, and vanished from the spot in an instant.
All that remained was Doumu Yuanjun, who was staring intently at Li Lin, waiting for his command to undress.
Li Lin naturally didn't lay a hand on [Doumu Yuanjun]; it would be immoral to sleep with an idiot.
Instead, they left her in the cave as a delaying tactic.
"Ting'er, you have not yet returned to your true self. As long as you only possess the Dao Nature, you cannot maximize your benefits."
This statement persuaded the more pragmatic Doumu Yuanjun to back down.
In addition to receiving guests in the increasingly bustling cave, Li Lin was also slowly integrating the Dao Mark in the Jade of Creation.
With the help of the Immortal Sutra of the immortals, the Doumu Yuanjun in the cave, and the Three Caverns True Immortal who often visit, the accumulation of [Dao Mark] is already sufficient.
All that's left is to work slowly and patiently.
There is only one year left until one ascends to immortality.
A year is a fleeting time for a practitioner.
The aftershocks of Li Lin's promotion to elder, which overshadowed his failure to achieve the top spot in the martial arts competition, have already subsided.
In the eyes of others, Li Lin spent the year consolidating his foundation and making many friends.
They are just friends, mostly female cultivators.
Among them, the most famous are Phoebe, Hugo, Luna, and Luo Wen, the "Bewitching Corpse".
No one could see the illusory [Dao Fruit] that was taking shape, hidden in the shadow of Li Lin's past.
With just a thought, it can materialize and land on Li Lin's spiritual platform, enabling him to ascend to immortality.
"It's time."
Within the cave, which was almost equivalent to a complete universe, Li Lin looked up.
My gaze pierced through the obstacles and met a pair of huge, deep blue eyes.
It was a colossal god, who was carefully cradling a universe that was smaller than a speck of dust to Him.
A tremendous change occurred within Li Lin's body. Star gods lit up the stars, seemingly following a mysterious trajectory, containing the secrets of Immortal Sutra such as the [Profound Yellow Tribulation], [Crimson Heart Record], [Nether Blood Collection], and [The Wisdom Scripture of the Root of All Laws].
In an instant, the extreme realms described in several Immortal Sutra, such as [Buzhou], [Sea of Consciousness], [Origin], and [Nether Prison], were all achieved.
The shadow behind it twisted into the shape of a candle dragon, as if it could swallow the entire starry sky. From the mouth of the candle dragon, a multifaceted object appeared, as if it were the manifestation of the Great Dao and reflected all things in heaven and earth.
Li Lin fell backward and into the shadow of the Candle Dragon.
All the immortals looked toward the location of Li Lin's cave, sensing that the Great Dao was trembling because of someone or something being born within it!
That must be above the Great Dao!
