“Naturally...”
“I wouldn't dream of asking for your assistance without offering something in return. I’ve brought a gift for you.”
As he spoke, Lin Jing produced a jade box shimmering with multiple colors and presented it to Huang Qingling.
“This is what I have prepared for you,” he said.
Before she could open it, Lin Jing cautioned her, “Do not peek yet. Wait until I have successfully crossed into the Immortal Dao Realm before you open it.”
Clutching the multicolored jade box, Huang Qingling’s curiosity was piqued.
“What sort of gift could it be? Why all the mystery?”
Lin Jing’s smile turned enigmatic. “Rest assured, it is something you will truly cherish.”
Huang Qingling shot him a doubtful look. “Are you certain about that?”
Lin Jing gave a firm nod. “Absolutely!”
“Very well, I shall accept it for now.”
... ...
Upon reaching the terminus of the Void Sky River, the pair combined their strength to once again shatter the boundaries of the Immortal Dao Realm, forcing an opening.
Before his departure, Lin Jing gave Huang Qingling his final instructions.
“I have set aside an Ascension Pill for Qing Qing. She should consume it the moment she reaches the peak of the Mahayana stage.”
“Until that time comes, I trust you to look after her.”
Huang Qingling nodded in agreement before asking, “As you enter the Immortal Dao Realm this time, are you certain you will be safe?”
Lin Jing nodded. “There may be some risks, but they should be manageable.”
Huang Qingling sighed softly. “Well... considering how many secrets you keep, you likely have plenty of tricks hidden away. If you say the danger is minor, I suppose everything will be fine.”
Then, Lin Jing looked directly at her and said, “It is time to go...”
With those words, Lin Jing stepped through the breach and entered the Immortal Dao Realm.
The moment he crossed over, Lin Jing withdrew the immortal power that was holding the rift open, causing the barrier to begin its slow process of mending.
Just then, Huang Qingling called out to Lin Jing, who had already transitioned toward the System Space,
“Now that you are leaving, when will our paths cross again?”
Lin Jing turned back to face her one last time. “Perhaps on the day you feel the true power of ascension, we shall meet again...”
As his voice faded, the rift in the barrier sealed shut completely.
Lin Jing stood alone within the Immortal Dao Realm.
... ...
Inside the Immortal Dao Realm, a mere flick of Lin Jing’s thought summoned a cluster of nine-colored light.
Then, Lin Jing extended his Divine Sense into that radiant glow.
In an instant, he felt as though the entirety of the Immortal Dao Realm was being mapped within his mind.
Lin Jing’s own Divine Sense had not naturally reached such an incredible level; rather, it was because the nine-colored light he held was the very will of the Immortal Dao.
Through this expanded perception, Lin Jing observed the heart of the realm. There stood a fractured Nine-Colored Jade Pillar with two figures seated upon it in meditation. Between them floated a heart-shaped piece of white jade that pulsed with nine-colored brilliance.
One of the figures was channeling a constant stream of nine-colored light into the white jade heart.
The jade was transforming, its color shifting until only the very tip of the heart remained before it would turn entirely crimson.
Though Lin Jing was seeing this man in person for the first time, he recognized the face instantly from many previous encounters.
This was the Primordial Immortal Emperor Venerate.
The second figure on the pillar was shrouded in nine-colored energy, his physical form barely discernible.
Lin Jing knew this had to be the imprisoned Five Elements Ancestor.
Witnessing this, Lin Jing let out a breath of relief.
“It appears I have arrived just in time!”
With a single thought, Lin Jing vanished and reappeared atop the shattered Nine-Colored Jade Pillar.
Despite his sudden arrival, neither of the two seated figures reacted.
The Primordial Immortal Emperor Venerate was currently pouring his entire being into the Refinement of the Immortal Dao Heart; he could not afford to wake until the process was finished.
Ignoring the Emperor Venerate for the moment, Lin Jing walked toward the figure trapped in the nine-colored light.
He reached out, bringing the will of the Immortal Dao toward the figure.
Immediately, the restraining lights vanished, revealing the man within.
It was indeed the Five Elements Ancestor.
Though weakened from his long imprisonment, the Five Elements Ancestor immediately fixed his gaze on the Immortal Dao Heart.
“Fortunately, there is still time...”
The Five Elements Ancestor then turned to Lin Jing and remarked, “By now, you must understand the gravity of the situation.”
Lin Jing nodded and bowed with deep respect. “I do, senior...”
The Five Elements Ancestor nodded solemnly. “The only remaining path is for me to transfer my cultivation to you, propelling you to the Emperor Venerate Realm. Then, by combining the three Great Dao seeds with the will of the Immortal Dao, you must break through to the Unique Sovereign Realm.”
“However, there is a catch: this state will only persist for the duration of nine breaths.”
“I am prepared for this,” Lin Jing replied with a nod.
But a look of worry crossed Lin Jing’s face as he looked at the old master. “Senior... if you surrender your cultivation, I fear for your life...”
The Five Elements Ancestor stared at the Primordial Immortal Emperor Venerate with unwavering resolve. “This is the only method to thwart him.”
“For the survival of the Immortal Dao Realm and the myriad souls in the Lower Realm’s Cultivation World, a sacrifice is required.”
“We must restore the path of Cultivation that has been broken for them...”
With those words, the Five Elements Ancestor reached out and pulled Lin Jing toward him.
In the next heartbeat, Lin Jing felt a staggering torrent of immortal power and Immortal Yuan surging into his meridians.
His cultivation level began to skyrocket at a speed that defied logic.
As he channeled his strength into Lin Jing, the Five Elements Ancestor began to speak:
