Transitional Arc
They had drunk tea, sat for a while, and chatted for a while, and Lin Daiyu gradually became familiar with Richard and his group.
They were no longer as restrained as they had been at the beginning.
With Xiao Yao's witty banter, there's no female group member she can't handle.
"Would you like to come with me to meet that the Monk and the Daoist?" Richard asked Lin Daiyu.
"Brother Richard, have you found any trace of them? I also asked Father to send people to investigate, but there was absolutely no news of them," Lin Daiyu asked in surprise.
That bald-headed monk had come to the Lin Family when she was young, saying he wanted to ordain her as a nun.
Her parents naturally disagreed at the time.
The bald-headed monk left a prophecy. "Unless you never hear the sound of crying again, and never see any relatives or friends outside your parents, you can live a peaceful life."
But Lin Daiyu simply couldn't do it. She was born with a tendency to cry, which had already broken the prophecy. She had even visited her maternal family in the Capital City, who were not related to her by marriage.
Otherwise, if she had truly followed the Lame-Headed Monk's advice and never cried or met anyone outside her family, perhaps she could have avoided the tragedy that befell her and Jia Baoyu?
So what is the Lame-Headed Monk's stance?
If he were purely from Fairy Jinghuan's perspective, he shouldn't have come to the Lin Residence to say these things.
If the Lame-Headed Monk's stance wasn't pure, then what about the Limp-Footed Daoist was with him?
Daiyu had too many questions in her heart and needed the help of this the Monk and the Daoist to answer them.
Richard was also puzzled; what exactly was this so-called "predestined relationship between wood and stone"?
He had already seen it; there wasn't much Karma Law entanglement between Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu at the moment, and it didn't seem like they were deeply connected by Karma Law.
This is not right. Daiyu only had the opportunity to join the Chat Group; nothing else changed much. She herself hadn't cultivated to the point of defying fate.
If Fate and Karma Law were so easily changed, why would Yang Chan need to run away? Wouldn't it have been better to just sever her Karma Law with Liu Yanchang?
Isn't it precisely because they were afraid of not only failing to cut ties but also getting further entangled that they ran away?
Even Yang Chan, a deity who had cultivated for over a thousand years, couldn't handle it; it would be even more impossible for Lin Daiyu, a mere novice who had only cultivated for a few years.
Even though the worlds are different, things like Karma Law and effect and Fate are sophisticated concepts in any world, and they are not so easily severed.
So there's a big problem with the so-called "predestined relationship between wood and stone".
"Yes, they're near the Capital City. They've used a smokescreen; ordinary people can't see them unless they want to," Richard said.
"Brother Richard, take me there! I'm so curious about them," Lin Daiyu said.
As he spoke, he summoned a servant and instructed him that he was going out with a friend and that the return date was uncertain. He told his father to tell him when he returned.
Richard had been curious for a long time. These servants weren't even surprised that a few more people had appeared in their young mistress's courtyard. They continued to do their jobs as if they hadn't seen them at all.
He randomly collected the scattered Divine Power of these servants and extracted key information.
It turns out that as Lin Daiyu's cultivation level increased, her supernatural abilities gradually became apparent.
Fearing that the news would get out and cause trouble for his daughter, Lin Ruhai put a lot of effort into regulating the servants' behavior, getting rid of a group of unruly, undisciplined, and loose-lipped servants.
They'll either be sold off or sent out to manage the family business; they definitely won't stay at home.
Now, only three or five servants remain in Daiyu's courtyard. They are all the most discreet and efficient, and they don't interfere much with anything else.
Were the servants not curious about Richard and his companions? Of course they were!
But they would never ask a single question.
"Don't look, don't listen, don't ask." This is the rule for those working in the young lady's courtyard.
Don't be fooled by the strictest rules here; the pay is the best, several times higher than other places for the same position.
These people aren't stupid enough to make a mistake and get kicked out.
As for Lin Ruhai, he indulged Daiyu to the extreme. He knew that Daiyu would never marry like an ordinary young lady, so why restrict her?
So all Lin Daiyu needed to do was give a heads-up before she could go out and have some fun with Richard and the others.
After the servants left, Richard waved his hand and released a flying saucer-shaped Metal Lifeform. There was no rush, so he let it fly over slowly.
After everyone boarded the Metal Lifeform, Richard concealed its presence. Then, the Metal Lifeform slowly took off and flew towards the Capital City.
Inside the flying saucer, Lin Daiyu looked curiously at the hall decorated like a futuristic sci-fi scene. This sci-fi style, so different from the traditional Eastern fantasy style, was indeed very novel to her.
However, I only glanced at it a few times before losing interest.
They then turned their attention to the footage of Richard's battle between Hell warriors.
These were acquired by the Wind Element Divine Clone in Hell; some were spoils of war, and the rest were purchased specifically from the Bauhinia Castle.
He has tens of thousands of video clips, featuring powerful figures from all walks of life, not just High-level God. He would also buy videos featuring Mid-level God whose techniques catch his eye.
Richard would collect some books to read in his spare time.
Perhaps the moves of some powerful individuals could inspire him, leading him to create some impressive moves, or even advance his comprehension and integration of certain Law Profound Mysteries.
At this moment, Richard was probably witnessing a clash between two Seven-Star Fiend- level powerhouses.
As the two powerful figures clashed, the surrounding environment, spanning hundreds or even thousands of kilometers, was reduced to a desolate wasteland.
This is because the environment of Hell is far more robust than that of the Material Plane; otherwise, if they were to fight on the Material Plane, they would have to destroy a continent right from the start.
Even this destructive power shocked Lin Daiyu; she couldn't imagine when she could cultivate to such a level.
Will she possess this level of destructive power once she cultivates to become an immortal?
Lin Daiyu harbored these dreams in her heart.
Seeing her interest in these battles between powerful individuals, Richard gave her many replicas of photographic stones.
Of course, there are anti-piracy measures in the Coiling Dragon World Coiling Dragon World, but Richard isn't limited to those methods; he easily cracked them.
If he wanted, he could even make money selling pirated videos in the Divine Plane, but now that he has Wind Element Divine Clone picking up money in the Bauhinia Mountain Range, he no longer cares about such a small business.
"Are you currently practicing the cultivation method uploaded by Fellow Yang Chan?" Richard asked Lin Daiyu curiously.
Nowadays, there are all sorts of cultivation methods in Chat Group. It's impossible to cultivate them all, so everyone chooses one main path and then selects other traditions as supplementary practices.
Just like Richard, whose main body now cultivates the laws of the Origin World, while his various Clone naturally still cultivate the laws of the Coiling Dragon World.
After God Level in the Coiling Dragon World, there are no specific cultivation methods. Everything revolves around comprehending the profound Law Profound Mysteries. Once the comprehending of the laws is sufficient, one can ascend to the Mid-level God, High-level God, and Paragon High-God.
But only he can walk this path; no one else can. Without the environment of the Coiling Dragon World, no one else can even become a god by taking this path.
So at first, some people still studied the Warrior and Mage paths he uploaded, but after the appearance of Daoist Master Daoxuan and the Third Holy Mother from the Spirit Emperor World and the Eastern Mythology World, no one even studied them anymore.
"Yes, at the beginning, Sister Xia Mi helped me exchange for the Taiji Xuanqing Dao from Daoist Master Daoxuan's world as my main cultivation method, and also gave me a flying sword."
Sister Bao passed on her body essence to me as a supplementary subject to accelerate the accumulation process.
Later, Sister Yang Chan uploaded some cultivation techniques, and Sister Xia Mi selected a celestial technique for me.
"Now I mainly cultivate this immortal technique, while the Origin of Qi is still a secondary cultivation method," Daiyu answered his question.
Given her Eastern worldview, she would naturally choose the path to immortality if given the choice.
As for strange and unusual magic, Alchemy, and Taijutsu, she felt they didn't fit her worldview.
She was already very satisfied. Such a cultivation technique, which directly led to the Celestial Immortal realm in the world of the Lotus Lantern, was a rare opportunity even in Heavens and Myriad Worlds. She obtained it without paying any price, so what more could she ask for?
"Cultivate diligently; the cultivation methods in Fellow Yang Chan's world are quite good."
You must be practicing a water-based cultivation method, right?
"You can keep this bead," Richard said, handing over a light blue bead.
"Richard, Brother Richard. What is this?" Lin Daiyu asked curiously as she took the beads.
After she got her hands on the bead, she felt the moisture in the world condensing towards her. After a while, the bead began to emit water-attribute spiritual energy continuously.
It seems possible to transform ordinary water vapor into spiritual energy that can be utilized by cultivators?
This must be an extraordinary treasure.
Lin Daiyu suddenly felt that the beads in her hand were a little hot. Just now, Richard's casual manner made her think it was just some small trinket.
"It's nothing precious, just a little trinket I casually conjured up."
If you like, you can call it the Primordial Water Pearl. Besides being able to transform ordinary water vapor in the world into spiritual energy for your cultivation, it also contains some of my insights into the Laws of Water. You can keep it to yourself and comprehend it slowly.
This world doesn't seem to be very suitable for cultivators who practice the Deva Path.
The primordial energy of heaven and earth is extremely inert; your ability to cultivate to this level in such an environment is already a testament to your exceptional talent.
I might as well lend you a hand. This bead will at least relieve you of your worries about spiritual energy.
Richard explained it to her in detail.
Cultivation methods also depend on the environment. The spiritual energy in Yang Chan's world is far more abundant and active than that in this world.
It can be said that Daiyu's current cultivation level is mostly due to the rare and precious herbs that her fellow group members have provided.
These rare and precious materials ensured that she never lacked spiritual energy for her daily cultivation; otherwise, relying solely on herself to cultivate in this world would have been quite frustrating.
Why do the immortals in that celestial realm rely on the seven emotions and six desires and the luck of mortals to cultivate? It's because the human way in this world suppresses the Deva Path, and even the primordial energy of heaven and earth is full of inertia.
Relying on spiritual energy to cultivate, one might cultivate until death and still not achieve anything.
"Conjure it at will?" Lin Daiyu's mind went blank for a moment. At this moment, she had a more concrete understanding of Richard's strength.
If this is about deities, then what kind of person can be called a deity?
"Me too! Me too!" Xiao Yao stretched out her little hand, and a small emerald green ball quickly condensed in her palm.
She also gave the small ball to Lin Daiyu.
"How about it? Isn't Xiao Yao amazing?" Xiao Yao raised her little face, waiting for Daiyu's praise.
"Yes, Xiao Yao is very clever. Can you tell me what the purpose of this little ball is?" Daiyu rubbed Xiao Yao's head and asked, holding the emerald green ball.
"This can also gather spiritual energy, specifically the spiritual energy of plants. It can also make nearby plants grow faster."
That way, my sister can grow some spiritual plants herself.
"It can also condense spiritual liquid containing life force, which can prolong life, cure diseases, and heal injuries," Xiao Yao said.
"That's amazing! What's its name? We can't just keep calling it Little Green Ball, can we?" Daiyu asked.
"Then let's call it Primordial Jade Orb. Of course, the ball I made should be named after me," Xiao Yao said matter-of-factly.
"Alright, let's call it Primordial Jade Orb. From now on, whenever I take out this ball, I'll think of Xiao Yao. Thank you so much, Xiao Yao. Now I won't lack cultivation resources until I become an immortal." Daiyu rubbed Xiao Yao's head again.
Perhaps these two small balls are insignificant to Richard and the others, but to her, they are invaluable treasures to aid her cultivation.
It's enough for her to become an immortal, and even her father, who only works sporadically, can be helped to cultivate immortality as well.
