While the Saints on Kunlun Mountain secretly schemed and waited,
Lin Xuan had already begun refining Pangu's Marrow with all his heart and soul.
Because Lin Xuan had once used Pangu's Essence Blood to forge his foundation, and because he possessed a Fragment of Pangu's Primordial Spirit,
a refining process that would have been unbelievably difficult for anyone else was as simple and effortless for Lin Xuan as eating or drinking.
Wisps of chaotic-colored mist wafted from Pangu's Marrow, continuously merging into Lin Xuan's body.
It solidified Lin Xuan's foundation from the most fundamental source, transforming into the basis of his cultivation.
Before he knew it, time passed.
Lin Xuan clearly felt that his physical cultivation had reached a limit!
The peak of the Quasi-Saint realm!
Beyond that was an invisible threshold blocking his path.
As long as he broke through this threshold, Lin Xuan would be able to attain sainthood through his physical body!
In truth, to Lin Xuan, this invisible threshold was like a sheet of paper. He only needed to poke it lightly to break through.
But he did not choose to do so.
Because he knew very well that if he attained sainthood in the Primordial World, he would only become a Heavenly Dao Saint.
Lin Xuan had already achieved the true body of a Chaos Demon God.
He also possessed a supreme treasure like Pangu's Marrow.
Why not choose to become a Great Dao Saint, whose starting point was higher?
Moreover, Lin Xuan's primordial spirit cultivation had also reached the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm.
When the time came, if both his primordial spirit and physical body attained sainthood, his combat power would soar severalfold! Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Thus, Lin Xuan forcibly restrained his impulse to attain sainthood.
He planned to find an opportunity to venture deep into the Outer Chaos and have both his physical body and primordial spirit achieve the Great Dao Saint realm!
After making his decision, Lin Xuan withdrew the trace of Pangu's Marrow that had just been consumed back into his body.
Then he directly refined the Sword Dao Law Seed.
With Lin Xuan's profound foundation, he spent less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea before completely refining the Sword Dao Law Seed.
He smoothly grasped the foundation of the Primordial World's Sword Dao Law.
From then on, the Four Swords of Zhu Xian could once again display peerless sharpness in his hands!
Just as Lin Xuan was refining the Sword Dao Law Seed,
he sensed that someone had triggered the magical restriction he had placed at the entrance of Chang'er Dingguang Immortal's cave abode.
Lin Xuan separated a wisp of divine sense to investigate.
He discovered that
Chang'er Dingguang Immortal had finally lost patience. Taking advantage of the night and concealing his figure, he had furtively slipped out of his cave abode.
Upon noticing this, the corner of Lin Xuan's mouth curled up slightly.
This fickle, two-faced villain had finally run out of patience?
After weighing his options for some time, Chang'er Dingguang Immortal had finally made up his mind.
He would sell out the Interception Sect.
He would join the Western Sect under the command of the Saint Zhunti and obtain the position of a Buddha.
The Great Tribulation of Investiture of the Gods was currently underway. The Interception Sect's backer, Sect Master Tongtian, had also been imprisoned by the Dao Ancestor in Zixiao Palace beyond the Thirty-three Heavens for three entire kalpas.
The disciples of the Interception Sect, from top to bottom, were clearly destined to be used to fill the Investiture of the Gods.
By the time Sect Master Tongtian was released, his ashes might already have gone cold.
It would be better to submit to the Western Saints early and secure a way out for himself.
Besides, Sect Master Tongtian had been unjust to him first.
He had shown favoritism toward that Daoist Lin Xuan.
Then he could hardly blame Chang'er Dingguang Immortal for being unjust to the Interception Sect.
Hmph!
After finishing his self-justification, Chang'er Dingguang Immortal arrived at a secluded spot on Golden Ao Island.
With Chang'er Dingguang Immortal's shallow cultivation, he was completely unable to deduce any flaw in the two peerless arrays Lin Xuan had set up.
Thus, he subconsciously chose a place he believed to be relatively secluded.
He released the golden lotus Saint Zhunti had given him.
He intended to reveal the exact location of Golden Ao Island to Saint Zhunti.
People always said that no matter how carefully one guarded against outsiders, it was hardest to guard against a thief within the family.
They were talking about villains like Chang'er Dingguang Immortal.
However,
Chang'er Dingguang Immortal's supposedly secretive actions all fell into Lin Xuan's eyes.
Lin Xuan did not alert Chang'er Dingguang Immortal.
He merely waited in silence.
Only after Chang'er Dingguang Immortal finished setting up the golden lotus did Lin Xuan stroll out and say with a smile:
"Junior Brother Dingguang, the night is long. What are you doing here?"
At the same time, Lin Xuan activated the array and directly sealed the golden lotus Chang'er Dingguang Immortal had set up.
Chang'er Dingguang Immortal had just committed a guilty act. When he saw Lin Xuan suddenly appear, he immediately grew nervous and stammered:
"S, S, Senior Disciple Brother."
"Your junior brother has been feeling somewhat bored staying in his cave abode these days, so I came out for a little walk."
Lin Xuan looked at Chang'er Dingguang Immortal, who was trembling like a sieve before him. A trace of impatience rose in his heart, and he immediately waved his sleeve.
He directly swept Chang'er Dingguang Immortal into his sleeve.
Afterward, Lin Xuan returned to Biyou Palace and struck the Jade Chime that Sect Master Tongtian usually used to summon his disciples.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The clear chime immediately rang across the entirety of Golden Ao Island.
The Interception Sect disciples, who had been meditating in seclusion within their respective cave abodes, all grew suspicious and uneasy when they heard the chimes.
What had happened?
The Sect Leader Senior Disciple Brother had actually struck the summoning Jade Chime!
