You Didn't Expect This, Did You? I Have Someone Backing Me!

I promised her I would take this flowerbed out of the country.

"From now on, I will guard the flowerbed and be its protector," said the Old Daoist Bailou.

"The protector of flowers..." Lin Yunji's expression was somewhat strange.

But he nodded nonetheless.

In fact, Lin Yunji, with his sharp eyes, could see clearly that Old Daoist Bailou's cultivation had actually broken through to the twelfth level of the Hunyuan Great Dao Sage!

It seems that the lingering thoughts of that Flower Venerable were indeed of great help to him.

"This is also your good fortune." Lin Yunji nodded.

"Sigh, actually, when I met her this time, I was thinking, was I too attached to spiritual practice before?"

"So much so that we overlook many beautiful things in this world," sighed the Old Daoist Bailou.

In this world, spiritual practice is not necessarily everything.

Taking a break from spiritual practice to appreciate the beauty of the world is not necessarily a bad thing.

"Just like the Patriarch Cansha," said the Daoist Bailou.

"That makes sense." Lin Yunji.

So I've come to terms with it.

After returning this time, I plan to establish a Daoist temple in my Ancestral Land, live in seclusion, cultivate myself, and tend to the flower garden.

"As for whether I can attain the Supreme in the future, I've already let it go," said Daoist Bailou with a smile.

In response to Old Daoist Bailou's words, Lin Yunji nodded once more, then looked deeply at Old Daoist Bailou and said...

"It's commendable that you have such thoughts. You might even reap unexpected rewards."

The Old Daoist Bailou was able to let go of his attachment to cultivation.

I'm afraid that in this way, his cultivation will improve without him even realizing it, and he might even break through to the Supreme Primordial Unity!

In terms of the time spent in cultivation, Old Daoist Bailou is no less experienced than Shi Mang.

He, too, had already attained sainthood before the destruction of the Ancient Realm.

However, his aptitude and fortuitous opportunity were not as good as Shi Mang's, which is why Shi Mang had already become Supreme Primordial Unity, after countless billions of years.

He was only at the Tenth-Stage Hunyuan Great Dao Sage.

Even the Ancestor Wujie looked down on him, treating him merely as a lowly errand boy.

But in Lin Yunji's view, the Old Daoist Bailou might not be so incompetent.

The Old Daoist Bailou is like a stubborn rock, yet to be enlightened.

Once the Chaos is dispelled, even the stubborn rock can be enlightened.

With his accumulated experience over countless years, he might just be able to achieve great success in one fell swoop!

However, Lin Yunji did not explain this point.

He was worried that if he said too much, he might rekindle Old Daoist Bailou's obsession and harm his cultivation.

Just like the previous Heavenly Venerable Fanti.

He was also worried that if he said too much, it would ruin Lin Yunji and the others' cultivation.

"By the way, I've checked the time, it's about time. Has everyone returned?"

The Old Daoist Bailou asked Lin Yunji.

"Those who could come back have almost all come back; those who couldn't come back, some unfortunately perished."

"There are still a few people; I reckon they're probably trapped," Lin Yunji said.

What made him somewhat worried was that his master, his senior uncle, and the sisters Houtu and Changxi were among them!

To this day, none of the six of them have returned!

However, Lin Yunji could sense that they had not perished.

They were all Lin Yunji's closest relatives. Lin Yunji had left a mark on each of them, and at crucial moments, the mark would be activated and transform into a Supreme dharma body!

Below the Supreme, even a powerful being at the Twelfth Stage of Hunyuan Great Dao Sage would be no match for this Supreme Dharma Body.

Even if they encountered an ordinary Supreme, this Supreme Body could withstand them for a time.

"What a pity!"

The Old Daoist Bailou was slightly startled and couldn't help but sigh.

There was no other way; the Ancient Realm was fraught with danger, and even Supreme could perish, let alone Sage.

They were only in the vicinity of the Great Fault, and these areas had basically been explored by all those who had entered before.

If we delve even deeper, into those places that even the Supreme of the Source Realm haven't yet explored, there are countless dangers lurking within.

"Let's wait a little longer, if they still haven't returned..."

Lin Yunji spoke.

However, he abruptly stopped mid-sentence!

At the same time, his expression changed drastically, "The mark has been triggered?!"

The next moment, Lin Yunji flew into a rage, "How dare you, you brat!!"

After saying this, Lin Yunji didn't say anything more to the Old Daoist Bailou. He transformed into a streak of light and disappeared in a flash!

At this moment, Lin Yunji moving at an extreme speed; he was traveling at full speed!

Before the light he transformed into, space and time were completely torn apart!

Somewhere in the Ancient Realm Ruins.

On a vast, majestic Wangyang.

The seawater here glistens, its surface stretching for countless billions of miles.

Within the Wangyang realm, a Supreme temple stands. This place is filled with magnificent palaces and extraordinary grandeur.

Unfortunately, the former Supreme has fallen, and all his disciples and followers have perished in the calamity, leaving behind only numerous corpses.

This place is a world unto itself, and is completely covered and hidden by a large outer formation, so it has never been discovered by anyone until now.

This time, however, Houtu accidentally stumbled into the great formation and ended up trapped here.

She had been trapped inside the great formation for tens of thousands of years. Unable to escape, she had no choice but to try to send out a distress signal.

This attracted the attention of the Changxi sisters.

With the help of the Changxi sisters, the three of them spent over 20,000 years breaking the formation together and finally arriving at this Supreme temple.

Unfortunately, before they could explore, the hidden array on the outer perimeter was broken, and the aura of the dojo leaked out, immediately attracting other people nearby!

The people they attracted were the same group that came in later.

Among them were also many Sage, Heavenly Dao Sage, and Great Dao Sage.

They are all disciples and followers of the Supreme One who has entered the palace!

After they arrived, they naturally got into a dispute with Houtu and the Houtu two.

At the crucial moment, drawn by the aura of the dojo, the three members of the Cult Master Tongtian, who were originally preparing to return to the Great Fault, were also attracted.

Neither side would willingly relinquish a Supreme treasure that had yet to be discovered.

Thus, conflict naturally ensued.

Houtu and Changxi are only at the level of Heavenly Dao Sage.

Although the three Tongtian were Great Dao Sage, their cultivation levels were not high.

Although they both possessed Primordial Expanse Spirit Treasure, they were no match for each other in the fight. The situation was almost entirely one-sided.

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, the Supreme Mark left by Lin Yunji was activated!

The Supreme Mark was activated, and the Supreme power immediately emanated, followed by boundless majesty that swept across the land.

A phantom suddenly rose from Houtu's body, transforming into the Lin Yunji.

As this illusory figure rose, it coldly looked down at those Great Dao Sage, "You're courting death?!"

"It is the Supreme Dharmakaya!!"

These Great Dao Sage who were fighting against Houtu and the Houtu were also taken aback.

Their expressions as they gazed at the phantom were filled with awe and fear.
