Lord Emperor Immortal?!

The evening approached, and Yun Ling quietly returned to her family.

Her departure had been with the mindset of mutual destruction, with no intention of returning, so she hadn’t told anyone.

Her residence was nestled deep within a bamboo forest, offering several advantages: first, tranquility and nature facilitated the absorption of spiritual energy; second, it was typically deserted, allowing her to conceal the fact that she had fallen from grace.

The entire Cangzhou Yun family was unaware that their esteemed daughter had become a cripple.

Each time she thought of this, Yun Ling felt she had disgraced her entire family.

She didn’t deserve such expectations.

Yet, Lin Huaian, knowing she had become a cripple, had shown such a different attitude than before and claimed he was doing it all for her sake…No, she couldn’t think about it anymore!

Yun Ling hurriedly shook her head, dispelling her thoughts, because she was supposed to turn Lin Huaian into her male s*ave or kill him directly.

How could she harbor any affection for him?

A gentle breeze stirred as she pushed open the door to her house.

The sky was dusky, and the parting clouds cast the world into a state of twilight.

Yun Ling thought that Lin Huaian had said she would understand his meaning only at night, and it should be night now.

She entered her boudoir and gently opened the cabinet, revealing a hidden compartment.

From it, she retrieved a seemingly crude black iron ring.

As Lin Huaian had said, this was the last thing Yun Ling’s mother had given her before leaving the family.

Yun Ling had also asked her father where her mother had gone, but all she received was a deep sigh.

Her father often stood silently on the cliff at midnight, occasionally sighing into the night sky with a pipe in his mouth: “Shuang’er ah, our little Ling, she has grown up…”

In short, he always looked like he was carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders.

But how did Lin Huaian know all this?

The more Yun Ling thought about it, the more confused she became.

Moreover, the night gradually enveloped the entire sky.

She sat on the bed, holding the ring.

The surface of the black iron showed no reflection, looking somewhat strange, yet Yun Ling couldn’t detect even a trace of spiritual energy on it.

Gradually, night deepened, and the moonlight filtered into the heart of the sea of clouds.

Yun Ling had been holding the ring since her return, but she hadn’t found anything unusual.

She bit her lip, wondering if Lin Huaian was really deceiving her.

Had she really fallen for a man’s trick?

Although Lin Huaian had never lied before, could she be sure he wouldn’t learn to do so?!

Thinking this, Yun Ling couldn’t help but lower her eyes in frustration, her right hand clenching into a fist.

She was angry and regretful because after being deceived by Lin Huaian this time, it would probably be impossible to approach him as easily as she had now.

Yet, mixed in with this immense anger was a sense of loss that even she hadn’t noticed.

“Lin Huaian, you liar!” Yun Ling gritted her teeth.

“You actually, actually bullied me again!”

Yun Ling clutched the ring, feeling indignant.

A myriad of thoughts flooded her mind: the arrogance she had when she was a genius, the pain of losing her cultivation, the sorrow of being rejected by a suitor, and…the despair of being deceived by Lin Huaian.

She closed her eyes, thinking that her life had been too tragic and that she might as well kill herself and have some dignity.

However, just as she thought this, a ray of light burst forth from the black iron ring.

Yun Ling noticed something and opened her teary eyes.

She saw the light from the ring transform into a stunningly charming woman in a thin red dress and nothing else.

Her smooth, fair feet stepped on nothingness, and her red eyes seemed full of affection at first glance, but upon closer inspection, they resembled a deep abyss.

Yun Ling couldn’t help but stare in amazement, because there was such a beautiful woman in the world.

She knew she was pretty, at least more so than most girls her age in Cangzhou, especially after becoming a cultivator and gradually expelling toxins from her body during the Qi Refining stage.

Her originally pretty face had gained a hint of immortal aura.

But the woman in front of her was both妩媚 and holy, and radiant in her holiness.

Not to mention the powerful aura around her.

If Yun Ling had a hint of immortal aura, then this red-skirted woman was the immortal herself!

The red-skirted woman swept her eyes over Yun Ling, her voice as pleasant as silk and bamboo strings, and as delightful as flute: “The Yun family.”

Upon hearing this voice, Yun Ling immediately realized that it belonged to the woman who had been calling to her every morning.

“I am the Blood Robe Honored One, one of the myriad immortals who served the Supreme Sovereign in ancient times,” the red-skirted woman said softly.

“Now, I am here on the orders of the Supreme Sovereign to impart the As cultivation method to you, and to reignite your As bloodline, inherited from ancient times.”

“Wait, wait!” Yun Ling quickly asked.

“Who is the Supreme Sovereign?”

“Is the sky, is the earth, is this world, is the myriad realms. You may call him Lord Emperor Immortal,” the woman shook her head.

“I have already tested your comprehension. As expected of someone favored by Lord Emperor Immortal. As a citizen of the Lower Realm, you have done almost as well as possible.”

Yun Ling wanted to say something else, because what did it mean to be favored by Lord Emperor Immortal?

If her true cultivation were exposed, the entire Cangzhou cultivator community would probably despise her!

Just as Yun Ling thought this, a handsome, unrestrained, and extraordinary face naturally appeared in her mind.

The only person who still firmly chose her when she was despised by the whole world.

“Emperor Immortal…Supreme Sovereign Emperor Immortal…Lord?”

Impossible. Lin Huaian was clearly just…

Yun Ling had no time to think because a ray of light had already enveloped her.

An unbearable pain suddenly erupted from the depths of her bloodline.

She almost couldn’t help but scream out in pain, but the annoying face of Lin Huaian suddenly flashed before her eyes—

His attitude after becoming the eldest brother, never looking at her directly, his indifferent attitude towards her, and his arrogant contempt when he came to call off the engagement.

“Damn it!” Yun Ling desperately suppressed her impulse.

How could she lose to Lin Huaian?

Could Lin Huaian do whatever he wanted just because he was a Desolate Ancient Holy Body?

Could Lin Huaian treat her as a plaything and discard her at will just because he was a cultivation genius?

She refused to accept it.

She absolutely, absolutely had to turn Lin Huaian into a furnace, making him wish he were dead!

A soft sound suddenly rang in her ears.

Yun Ling’s eyes lit up, and the red-skirted woman smiled slightly.

The pain vanished completely in an instant, replaced by incomparable pleasure!

Her empty body was filled with spiritual energy.

Yun Ling hadn’t experienced this feeling of spiritual energy existing in her body for a full three years, so much so that she couldn’t help but want to cry now.

Qi Refining First Layer, Qi Refining Second Layer, Qi Refining Third Layer…

The realm that had stagnated for three years constantly broke through.

Qi Refining Tenth Layer, advancing to Foundation Establishment!

But after advancing to Foundation Establishment, her realm not only didn’t stagnate, but instead climbed rapidly at an even faster speed!

Far away, the Yun family members all sensed the enormous spiritual energy in the air that was almost overflowing.

The elders and young members ran out of their houses, only to find that this constantly breaking heavenly phenomenon was actually happening in the bamboo forest where Yun Ling lived.

Yun Ling had been silent for three years.

They once thought that Yun Ling’s talent had reached its limit, and recently they had even been discussing how to impeach the patriarch.

But now Yun Ling’s movements had severely slapped them in the face.

They felt their faces hurt, so they all looked at the patriarch, Yun Ling’s father, a middle-aged man, who was looking at the bamboo forest without saying a word.

Foundation Establishment Breakthrough!

Entering Life First Order! Entering Life Second Order! Entering Life Third Order! Half-Step to Reaching Life!

Yun Ling felt it.

Her three years of continuous exhale and inhale hadn’t been in vain.

They had returned and become even purer!

More terrifying than her realm was actually her spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy of cultivators were generally divided into lower, middle, and upper grades.

The spiritual energy that Yun Ling had initially tested was only middle and lower grade.

But now, she felt that her spiritual energy should be created and given a new grade—Divine Grade!

When she was about to break through to Reaching Life and advance to Nascent Soul, Yun Ling chose to stop and tried her best to suppress her realm, because she knew that her realm couldn’t leap too exaggeratedly, otherwise her foundation would be unstable and there would be future troubles.

The red-skirted woman’s phantom next to her showed a satisfied look.

But after barely suppressing it and finally reaching the Half-Step Nascent Soul Realm, Yun Ling couldn’t help but laugh.

What power.

She could feel the throbbing of her Divine Grade spiritual energy. 

It was pure and fiery.

Yun Ling felt that she was only a thin piece of paper away from the Nascent Soul stage.

As long as she wanted to, she could pierce it with a finger.

But Lin Huaian was trapped before the Nascent Soul stage, and he might never be able to move forward half a step in this life.

In other words, she was now ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times stronger than Lin Huaian!

Yun Ling lowered her head, looking at herself as if she had been reborn.

The image of Lin Huaian being forced by her to kneel at her feet and beg for mercy, licking her toes like a servant, had already appeared in her mind.

And this time, it was no longer a fantasy.

She could really do it!

At this moment, Yun Ling had just been infused with the As- spiritual Secret Technique.

Thirty million secret technique fragments had washed away the impurities originally stained by the mortal world on this genius’s spiritual energy.

For three years, her spiritual energy had been constantly showing signs of awakening and recovery, which was why the strange change of cultivation regression had occurred.

Yun Ling gradually understood everything.

She also learned that her family had actually produced an As-spiritual Honored One who had ascended to immortality in ancient times.

Now, with the blessing of the As-spiritual Secret Technique and the immortal spiritual bloodline, not to mention the Desolate Ancient Holy Body Lin Huaian, even the Desolate Ancient Holy Body Lin Huaian in his prime would probably be easily defeated!

To put it simply, as a nouveau riche who was originally so poor that she lived in fear every day but suddenly had a pie fall from the sky one day, she had become inflated.

And she had become extremely inflated.

Just as she was excited, a vibration suddenly came from the sky.

Immediately afterward, the spiritual aura of countless saints swirled around Yun Ling like dragon.

When Yun Ling saw this scene, she immediately understood that she was about to enter.

 It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity bestowed upon cultivators by heaven.

Not every cultivator would receive it.

Only those who were extremely lucky or whose qualifications were so good that they alarmed the great path of destiny would barely have a chance to enter定.

Those who entered定 could glimpse a corner of heaven’s secrets.

If they were lucky, they might even be able to glimpse the essence of the long road to immortality!

Throughout the ages, those who could enter were all banished immortals who would be remembered in history.

She excitedly closed her eyes, unable to stop looking forward to what she would see when she opened her eyes later.

But when Yun Ling opened her eyes, she couldn’t help but be stunned by the scene in front of her.
