Worthy of being my apprentice!

Time passed, and Lin Huaian didn’t see any more darkening plot alerts.

He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he’d finally managed to fool this girl.

It was then he realized that primordial aura was emanating from him again, but this was normal.

Even if he, Lin Huaian, was now useless, he was once an Archaic Sacred Body after all.

The Archaic aura surrounding him was a passive trait of the Archaic Sacred Body.

Now that the Sacred Body was gone, the passive remained.

This setting was quite logical.

However, this passive trait was quite depressing, because Lin Huaian could feel that his meridians were completely broken, and he no longer had the slightest possibility of cultivation.

This made the Archaic aura around him very awkward.

Very awkward indeed.

Because besides telling others “I’m an Archaic Sacred Body,” the Archaic aura had no other use.

Other Sacred Bodies at least had protective Gangqi or offensive Shaqi.

Archaic aura… seemed only to be pretty?

While he was feeling depressed, a huge wave was surging in Yun Ling’s heart.

The news of Lin Huaian being crippled was indeed a lie.

Not to mention the Archaic aura, the fact that she, a Half-Step Nascent Soul cultivator, couldn’t see through Lin Huaian’s realm already said a lot.

She closed her eyes and bowed to Lin Huaian, thanking him, “Thank you for your guidance, Senior. Hearing your words is truly better than ten years of hard cultivation.”

“No need to be so polite,” Lin Huaian waved his hand. He was already extremely relieved to have escaped the darkening plot. He wouldn’t dare let Yun Ling be so respectful. He straightened his back and continued to say to Yun Ling,

“After you return, carefully comprehend what you’ve learned.

The benefits that Empress will bring you will be immeasurable. Listen to her obediently, and your path to immortality will be boundless.”

As he spoke, Lin Huaian started to feel envious, but there was nothing he could do.

That was the difference between the protagonist’s fate and the cannon fodder’s.

Other Children of Destiny had things like Yin-Yang Sacred Bodies, naturally causing evil to fear and retreat, or Heavenly gang Sacred Bodies, born with righteous aura protecting them and innate divine strength capable of shattering boulders with a single palm.

Only the Archaic Sacred Body was useless!

Yun Ling nodded repeatedly. Having experienced the skyrocketing realm and the opening of her spiritual veins last night, she naturally understood the importance of the Blood-Robed Immortal. Lin Huaian’s tone clearly showed that he had already admitted that the Blood-Robed Immortal was someone he had placed by her side, right?

“Alright, you may leave if you have nothing else,” Lin Huaian said solemnly.

“From today onwards, you will be reborn. In the future, among the three thousand Great Dao Immortals, there will surely be a place for you.”

Yun Ling was shocked. Did Lin Huaian’s words mean that as long as she cultivated diligently according to the path he had arranged, she would definitely become one of the Great Dao Immortals?

What confidence!

As expected of the Supreme Being who controls the fate of the human realm!

Was this the secret that allowed all those in seclusion to become Immortal Exiles?

Lin Huaian truly controlled everything in the mortal world!

“Then Senior, this junior will take her leave for now,” Yun Ling said, bowing.

Lin Huaian was so happy he almost cried.

“Grandma, you’re finally willing to leave. If you didn’t, I really couldn’t keep up the act.

Educating a future Immortal Emperor like you as a mortal is so embarrassing!”

Yun Ling stood up. Just as she was about to step out, the girl’s ears turned red.

She turned her back to Lin Huaian and said in a low voice,

“Senior, when I become a strong person in the future… I hope that you will accept me as your wife.”

Lin Huaian kicked the door shut, locking Yun Ling outside, and said in a resounding voice, “That’s extra!”

The girl stood愣at the door for a long time before leaving.

After Yun Ling left, Lin Huaian breathed a sigh of relief. He patted his chest and lay on the bed, thinking,

“Today was truly a rollercoaster again. Every day is like dancing on the edge of a knife.

Who can handle this?”

“God is truly inhumane.”

He sighed. Since he had nothing to do, he simply began to observe his current situation.

First, his meridians.

The foundation of a cultivator’s cultivation lies in the spiritual veins within their body.

These spiritual veins are also divided into three levels from low to high: low, middle, and high.

Occasionally, there would be peerless spiritual veins, but these had nothing to do with Lin Huaian.

Even if his spiritual veins were of the highest level, it didn’t change the fact that they were broken.

Without spiritual veins, a cultivator couldn’t draw spiritual energy into their body.

This was the root cause of Lin Huaian’s crippled state.

Second, his Sacred Body.

As an essential setting in every cultivation world, the buffs provided by the Sacred Body on the cultivation path were dazzlingly high.

The secret of the Archaic Sacred Body was to convert all spiritual energy drawn into the body into pure Archaic energy, assisting the Archaic Sacred Body in cultivation.

That was why Lin Huaian’s cultivation speed was so fast.

Eight years old for Qi Refining, ten years old for Foundation Establishment, fifteen years old for Life Manifestation, seventeen years old for peak Life Manifestation.

This cultivation speed was beyond fast compared to more than ninety percent of cultivators.

It could only be described as unattainable, not even worthy of looking up to.

Unfortunately, that remaining ten percent was the Children of Destiny!

Lin Huaian sighed, feeling that his fate was ill-fated and his luck was poor.

After comparing himself with Yun Ling, he realized that he was worlds apart from a true Child of Destiny.

Even if he didn’t become crippled, according to the original plot, he would probably be easily defeated by the Children of Destiny.

“This is really a headache…”

Lin Huaian sighed and began to think about how to move forward.

He definitely had to continue using this ability.

As long as he helped those Children of Destiny rise up in advance, they would definitely be willing to become his sugar mommies.

Then he would live his days holding onto their sugar mommies’ legs, and see who would dare to kill him!

But where could he find existing Children of Destiny?

Lin Huaian fell into deep thought. As he pondered, strands of Archaic aura emanated from his body again, like immortal intent crisscrossing, setting him off like a true immortal from heaven.

“Ahem,” at this moment, a voice came from outside the door, “Huaian, are you still there?”

Lin Huaian was taken aback.

A bad premonition surged up in his heart, because he remembered that this voice belonged to his master.

And the eldest disciple of the Heavenly Inscription Sect of course only had one master—the Heavenly Inscription Sect Master, Ji Xin.

“If you’re there, could you open the door for Master? Master doesn’t want to break it down,”

Ji Xin’s voice sounded somewhat helpless. “Don’t worry, Master won’t harm you.”

Lin Huaian wanted to say, “You’re full of it! You’re definitely here to take away my Heavenly Inscription Sect eldest disciple identity, because the Heavenly Inscription Sect Master won’t let a cripple occupy this position!”

But in the end, he still responded and opened the door, looking at the immortal aura middle-aged man who appeared before him.

He was filled with spiritual energy from head to toe, and his white daoist robe was full of immortal intent.

What touched people more was a kind of confidence between his eyebrows, which was different from Lin Huaian’s cold arrogance.

This middle-aged man’s temperament was kind, the kind of kindness a senior has towards a junior, as if everyone in front of him could only be considered a junior in the immortal world.

Looking at this temperament, Lin Huaian couldn’t help but sigh,

“Wow, this person is even more deserving of a beating than me and can still live to this day. As expected, he’s a really capable person!”

Ji Xin originally had a peaceful look. He had indeed come today to take away Lin Huaian’s Heavenly Inscription Sect identity jade pendant. As for the other things, consider it a gift from master and disciple.

Don’t hold a grudge against me.

From now on, we’ll each go our own way.

I’ll be my sect master, and you’ll be your young master.

But at the moment the door opened, Ji Xin noticed something was wrong.

Lin Huaian’s aura was actually no different from before?

Two days ago, when Ji Xin arrived at Lin Huaian’s cave, he saw Lin Huaian passed out.

And when Lin Huaian woke up, Ji Xin came to tell him that his constitution was ruined, his cultivation was completely lost, and his meridians were broken.

At that time, Lin Huaian suddenly fell into the abyss. The confidence and composure of the past were gone.

His expression was dim and desperate, which made Ji Xin couldn’t bear to mention the eldest disciple’s identity and had to leave for the time being.

But today’s Lin Huaian not only showed no trace of loss on his face, but his temperament was even more profound and calm than before, which made Ji Xin couldn’t help but be surprised.

He had spent a whole decade and hadn’t been able to make Lin Huaian a little bit mature, but now, after two days, Lin Huaian had become calm on his own?

In addition, with the lingering Archaic aura around Lin Huaian, Ji Xin stroked his chin and gradually became interested in Lin Huaian again.

Moreover, from the perspective of his Divine Eye of a Refinement Void Realm cultivator, Lin Huaian’s realm initially looked like a void, but upon closer inspection, it was actually a fog, a fog composed of Archaic aura.

This fact was too small.

It could be said that cultivators below the Refinement Void Realm could not have the ability to see this fog!

Looking at Lin Huaian, a guess suddenly came to Ji Xin’s mind: Could it be that Lin Huaian not only didn’t become a cripple, but instead had broken through and risen to the Nascent Soul?

But he still couldn’t see the existence of any spiritual energy on him, and he hadn’t seen him perform spiritual energy absorb like before.

There was only seemingly endless Archaic aura, and this Archaic aura seemed to be much weaker than before.

“How strange…”

“In short, it’s okay to take Lin Huaian back to the sect for observation before letting him come back, right?”

“Okay, pack up your things,” Ji Xin ordered Lin Huaian after making a decision, “and return to the sect with me.”

“…Huh?”

Lin Huaian was dumbfounded.

Ji Xin actually wanted to take him back to the sect?

One of the Sect Leader and him must have gone crazy today, but it definitely wasn’t him who went crazy, so roughly speaking, Ji Xin’s brain probably had some problems.

“Hey, what are you zoning out for,” Ji Xin sighed, “Master knows that your recent state is not very good and may be a little rebellious, but wait until you go back to the sect to continue being rebellious, okay? Or are you afraid to go back?”

If it was really the last one, then Lin Huaian would lose the value of returning to the sect.

“Are you coaxing a child here?”

Lin Huaian revealed a look as if he was looking at an idiot.

However, he really needed an opportunity, an opportunity to come into contact with the Children of Destiny. Generally speaking, Children of Destiny are rarely mortals, so it is better to go directly to the sect to find some beautiful and talented junior sisters to see.

It’s just that it may be a little dangerous.

Wouldn’t he, a cripple, a little white rabbit, be sending himself into the wolf’s mouth when he returned to the world of cultivators where the weak are the prey of the strong?

“Oh…”

“The older one gets, the stronger one should be, and one should not change one’s original aspiration even when one’s hair turns white? The poorer one is, the firmer one should be, and one should not abandon one’s ambition to soar to the sky,”

Lin Huaian sighed casually,

“We cultivators should not fear enemies, fear demons, or fear ourselves, so what is there to be afraid of? I, Lin Huaian, have nothing to take away, so let’s just leave.”

Hearing this sentence, Ji Xin’s eyes suddenly widened.

“The older one gets, the stronger one should be, and one should not change one’s original aspiration even when one’s hair turns white?

The poorer one is, the firmer one should be, and one should not abandon one’s ambition to soar to the sky.”

“Even if one is old, one should not change oneself when one’s hair turns white, but should become stronger; even if one is poor, one should not give up one’s ambition to soar to the sky, but should become more determined!”

After living at home for two days, Lin Huaian actually had this kind of cultural-level insight?! 

“Good, good, very good!”

“As expected of my Lin Huaian!”

“As expected of me, the eldest disciple of the Heavenly Inscription Sect!”
