The Peerless Daoist asked Lin Yu in a serious tone where his master came from, leaving Lin Yu somewhat puzzled.
This peerless Daoist, with his otherworldly demeanor, had met me twice before, yet he had never thought to ask my name, always addressing me as "young friend" or "fellow Daoist." This shows that it was a "bad habit" from thousands of years ago.
This habit often occurs among powerful individuals.
Because of their overwhelming strength, others appear as insignificant as ants and are naturally not taken seriously by them.
In fact, strong spiritual power will also lead to strong mental power. The most fundamental manifestation of strong mental power is improved memory.
Logically speaking, powerful cultivators would never forget those they have met, even if they only met once.
However, people like Wushuang Daoren have an innate habit of completely disregarding others. After all, who cares about the name of an ant at their feet?
The cultivators whose names they could remember were either of equal strength or related to them by blood or marriage.
"Young friend Lin Yu, since you already have a master, I can't force you to become his disciple. But it's alright, my power has been wasted over thousands of years and is almost gone; I'll just give it to you for free."
"Remember this well, you must complete the task I entrusted to you!" Wushuang Daoren said meaningfully, and then gently patted Lin Yu's body with his withered palm.
That palm strike seemed as light as a willow catkin, but Lin Yu only felt a powerful force rushing towards him, as if he had been blasted back more than ten meters.
However, Lin Yu soon realized that this was just his illusion; his body was actually standing still without moving an inch.
Upon hearing the first part of what Wushuang Daoist said, Lin Yu was somewhat uneasy. To put it bluntly, he really looked down on Wushuang Daoist's skills.
Back then, Lin Yu didn't even care about the internal cultivation techniques of the world's top cultivators, insisting on following his own Great Dao, which is enough to show that he had no intention of taking others as his teachers.
In Lin Yu's view, nowadays only others are the ones who should become his disciples; he would never become someone else's disciple himself.
Even if the person who wanted him to become his disciple was the Peerless Daoist, Lin Yu would never abandon his principles just because the old cultivator was about to pass away.
However, Lin Yu did not expect that the Peerless Daoist, who appeared carefree, was actually also carefree in nature.
He gave away his centuries of cultivation so easily, and seeing that Lin Yu already had a master, he even skipped the step of Lin Yu becoming a disciple.
The vast, ethereal spiritual energy poured directly into Lin Yu's body, and a halo of light swirled around Lin Yu, causing the surrounding space to distort.
"Buzz... buzz... buzz..."
Lin Yu heard a sound of the surrounding space shattering and understood.
Having been a cultivator in the Three Thousand Immortal Realms era, now that I have arrived in the Dao Qi era, my strength will naturally be limited by this era.
Although Lin Yu was at a slight disadvantage in the fight, only Lin Yu himself knew that he was feeling extremely frustrated.
The Peerless Daoist's original intention was to infuse his power into Lin Yu's body, but he didn't expect that Lin Yu's body itself contained a large amount of power, which was just sealed.
Fortunately, the Peerless Daoist's spiritual power was not wasted; it was all used to bombard the restrictions around Lin Yu caused by spacetime.
Lin Yu immediately felt that the air around him had become much lighter, which was a sign that part of the restriction had been lifted.
"Thank you very much, Senior Daoist Wushuang," Lin Yu said politely, and this was truly from the bottom of his heart.
By sheer coincidence, the Peerless Daoist actually helped him.
The Peerless Daoist did not respond, but simply nodded slightly, causing his robes to flutter even without wind.
If Lin Yu can complete the reinforcement of the barrier within these two days, then the Twelve True Palaces will completely disappear, and the twelve shackles corresponding to the twelve cultivators, including Wushuang Daoren, will also disappear.
Perhaps that's why Wushuang Daoren chose to transfer all his remaining power to Lin Yu in his final moments.
The Peerless Daoist's original intention was to help Lin Yu improve his strength, but he did not expect that Lin Yu's comprehension would be so high.
He simply infused Lin Yu's body with some spiritual energy, and Lin Yu's power immediately increased exponentially.
The knowledgeable and experienced Daoist Wushuang could not possibly believe that this was all his doing. After all, he was already an old tree, and the little spiritual power he had left might be able to help a young man like Lin Yu, but it was absolutely impossible for him to improve by so much.
The only possibility is that Lin Yu himself had some kind of restriction on him, and he broke the restriction!
The young man in front of him, though he looked very young, had already reached a terrifying level of strength. This was definitely not a simple matter. However, at this point, Daoist Wushuang had no time to figure out what was going on with Lin Yu.
As the saying goes, once the arrow is released, there's no turning back. Even if Wushuang Daoist regrets it, now that he's exhausted his spiritual energy, he can only trust Lin Yu's character.
Of course, those thoughts only lingered in Wushuang Daoren's mind for a very short time.
He knew very well that Lin Yu was the chosen one, the person he had been waiting for for so long, so his trust in Lin Yu was self-evident.
This is their third meeting, but it will also be their last.
In the end, neither Lin Yu nor Wushuang Daoren said anything.
After leaving the Twelve True Palaces, Lin Yu felt a slight melancholy. Thinking of the Peerless Daoist gazing at the sky alone, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.
However, Lin Yu also knew that once he succeeded, Wushuang Daoren would have fulfilled a wish, so he didn't blame himself too much.
However, aside from that, the Peerless Daoist left Lin Yu with a pleasant surprise.
When Lin Yu used his spiritual power to compose his spiritual sea, he suddenly discovered that there were some things in his spiritual sea. These were creatures that resembled water butterflies in a well, and they had been lingering inside Lin Yu's spiritual sea.
It must have been transmitted along with the spiritual energy when Wushuang Daoren transferred it. Lin Yu had long been curious about the water butterfly, and now it seemed that the water butterfly must have originated from a special technique created by Wushuang Daoren himself.
Lin Yu would never forget that it was this water butterfly that had repaired his previously damaged body.
Now that I possess this ability myself, it's like having wings on a tiger.
