God King Tang San stood anxiously within his divine hall.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiao, who had begun cultivating, and Poison Unkillable had already done everything they could to flee the Icefire Yin Yang Well's confines.
At this moment, aside from that lake, the Icefire Yin Yang Well seemed to contain nothing else.
Lao Yao made a move, taking away nearly everything that could be taken from the Icefire Yin Yang Well.
The two returned to the Haotian Sect and could not help but burst into laughter, each wearing a smug grin.
A faint black aura seemed to emerge from the ring on Lin Xiao's finger, wrapping around Poison Unkillable.
It seemed to be cleansing away the aura on him.
"Xiao Xiao, what is this black aura?"
"It appeared after we left Sunset Forest."
Poison Unkillable looked at the situation in surprise. He sensed that the black aura did not seem harmful, so he did not interfere.
Lin Xiao looked himself over. He had it on him as well.
"Master, this is another method of my old master. He used his own abilities to help us cleanse away our auras."
"It was also because he was worried someone might find us."
Lin Xiao explained briefly. While they were fleeing, Igor had contacted Lin Xiao.
The two had been tainted by the Icefire Yin Yang Well's aura. To prevent anyone from tracking them, Igor had acted to purify the auras around them.
Poison Unkillable nodded. As expected of an expert, he handled matters without leaving a single flaw.
Now, Poison Unkillable no longer worried that the Haotian Sect's god would find him.
"Master, there is no need to worry about being tracked anymore. From now on, you and I can stay peacefully in the Haotian Sect."
Lin Xiao considered it. Perhaps someone under Tang San had already begun searching outside.
Revealing themselves rashly would only cause unnecessary trouble.
Poison Unkillable nodded. "Naturally. Your master and I are not foolish enough to that extent."
"Besides, when it is time to be reasonable, we must still be reasonable."
To Poison Unkillable, reasoning was naturally an ordinary thing.
"Xiao Xiao, does your old master need me to do anything? Since he is fighting that Divine Sense, I imagine it will not be easy."
"If there is anything he needs, just tell me."
Poison Unkillable was also worried about Lao Yao. He wanted to have a good exchange with the other party; with strength as powerful as his, he would surely be able to help him.
Lin Xiao did not stand on ceremony. "Master, there is something in the sect that I need."
"A forging platform!"
Hearing this, Poison Unkillable hesitated. "A forging platform? Xiao Xiao, aren't you a Soul Guidance Device master? Let me tell you, our Haotian Sect has no need for Soul Guidance Devices."
"Only one's own strength is true strength!"
Poison Unkillable spoke proudly. He looked down on Soul Guidance Devices, and that was also the source of his pride.
Lin Xiao shook his head. "Master, it is not that. The forging platform is somewhat special and will be useful to my old master."
After a moment, Poison Unkillable nodded. "Fine. What kind of forging platform is it? I'll have Golden Crocodile bring one over."
"The one ranked ninety-ninth: Silent!"
The moment the words Silent were spoken, Poison Unkillable's expression changed. But when he thought of how strong the other party was, he felt relieved.
Ordinary people might not be able to use it, but that person was an exception.
"Fine. Once it is brought here, I will help you send it over," Poison Unkillable said.
"Master, I'll go into seclusion for a while first. When I emerge, it will be time for you to break through Rank 99."
At those words, Poison Unkillable's expression froze. Rank 99... he had been looking forward to it for a very long time.
Mi En, hehe, when the time came, I would show you the strength of my Rank 99!
Poison Unkillable was already somewhat impatient.
"Fine, go quickly. No one will disturb you in your room."
After Poison Unkillable finished speaking, Lin Xiao left and headed straight for his room.
The instant he returned to his room, a figure appeared beside Lin Xiao. In his arms was a little girl.
This was no outsider. It was Igor, and the little girl in his arms was the Ice Emperor.
"Igor, how is Master?"
Seeing Igor, Lin Xiao asked worriedly.
After Lao Yao entered the ring, there had been no further news from him, leaving Lin Xiao deeply concerned.
"Don't worry. Brother is asleep. There is nothing to worry about."
Igor spoke calmly, telling him not to worry.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao relaxed. It was good as long as nothing had happened.
Thinking of how Igor had just called Lao Yao Brother, Lin Xiao found it rather unexpected. He had not expected Lao Yao to have already won Igor over.
"Lin Xiao, accept me as your master!"
"Just acknowledge me with a bow. There is no need for all that tedious ceremony."
Seeing Lin Xiao relax, Igor's voice rang out.
Igor floated before Lin Xiao, standing upright and dignified. A noble aura radiated from him, and every gesture carried the bearing of a true aristocrat.
Although Lin Xiao had already called him Master, they had not formally performed the master-disciple ceremony, and that was still somewhat lacking.
But now, the time had come.
Lin Xiao nodded slightly, then immediately cleared the ashes before him and knelt down respectfully. "Master, please accept this disciple's bow!"
Seeing Lin Xiao act this way, Igor smiled. He had been waiting for Lao Yao to see this moment.
"Xiao Xiao, that is enough. Come, I'll take you somewhere good!"
With a wave of Igor's hand, a massive spatial gate opened. He led Lin Xiao through it and entered the space beyond.
The moment the three stepped inside, a chilling, sinister aura rushed toward them. Lin Xiao shuddered and instinctively summoned his Bone Dragon Flame Martial Soul with his right hand.
The moment the Martial Soul appeared, Lin Xiao felt much better.
"This is an undead demiplane, Black Tiger."
"It is a world I created, though it has not yet been perfected."
"Only undead exist here. If ordinary people enter, they will be unable to escape and will eventually be assimilated and disappear."
"I do not even know how long it has been since this place was created, nor do I know how many creatures are within it."
"Xiao Xiao, what do you think of this place?"
A faint golden light shone from Igor's body. Wherever that golden light passed, the darkness scattered. The two moved like shooting stars through the lonely black night, flying slowly onward.
Lin Xiao swallowed. "Master, this... I do not even know how to thank you!"
Lao Yao gave Lin Xiao cultivation methods, Igor gave Lin Xiao a place to cultivate, and Poison Unkillable gave Lin Xiao a powerful backer in the current world.
Every master had their own strengths.
"Hehe, Xiao Xiao, this place will need you to manage from now on."
"Whether it can become a new world will depend on you to perfect it."
"I will teach you undead magic. Tia and I will also help you perfect this place."
Igor spoke as they walked, and soon the three arrived before an insect king's throne.
Listening to Igor, Lin Xiao's heart grew more and more excited. He had unexpectedly obtained a demiplane; as long as he did not provoke the divine realm in the future, everything would be fine, would it not?
The fastest way to expand was to devour other worlds.
"Master, can I bring the soul beasts whose spirit rings I stripped away, along with their souls, into this place?"
Lin Xiao asked with excitement.
"You can, as long as you are strong enough."
Igor gave a definite answer.
Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately thought of a good idea—an excellent idea for dealing with Tang San.
"Master, can you take out that Divine Sense?"
Lin Xiao asked. Lao Yao had already removed Tang San's Divine Sense; he just did not know where it was now.
