Chapter 884 Request
Lin Zhao took a step forward and, in a few breaths, was already opposite the old man.

"Senior Taiyi, I have come here for Yunfei, and also to ask you some questions."

Taiyi Immortal Emperor raised one hand, and a rattan chair appeared behind Lin Zhao, while he sat on a somewhat worn-out futon.

"Please sit down. I know what you want to ask, young friend. These things have been troubling me for a long time."

Lin Zhao sat down in the chair, and the Taiyi Immortal Emperor said, "Since you came here, you should be able to sense that this old man won't last much longer."

Lin Zhao was silent.

Indeed, although the old man was surrounded by the breath of life, his own face showed signs of exhaustion and death.

This is not because the Taiyi Immortal Emperor was seriously injured or exhausted his power, but simply because the Immortal Emperor's lifespan has come to an end, unless the Taiyi Immortal Emperor can break through to the Immortal Venerable level.

However, it is clear that the aptitude of the Taiyi Immortal Emperor has reached this level.

"In my youth, I obtained the Thousand Autumn Flower by chance, and was fortunate enough to reach the level of Immortal Emperor. It can be considered a blessing from Heaven. I will give back my cultivation and abilities to the cultivation world." Immortal Emperor Taiyi sighed, "Did you see that point?"

Following the guidance of the Taiyi Immortal Emperor, Lin Zhao managed to spot a dark dot in the far distance. Upon closer inspection, he discovered it was actually a well. Just as he was about to look further, a disturbance suddenly arose within his soul, as if he had witnessed something extremely terrifying. This caused Lin Zhao to subconsciously withdraw his soul probe.

"That is the place where the gods are sealed."

Because of the sharp stimulation to her soul, Lin Zhao had to close her eyes to ease the dull pain in her mind. She covered her eyes, and physiological tears flowed down her cheeks.

"That looks like... a well?"

Taiyi Immortal Emperor looked at Lin Zhao in surprise: "You can actually see the courtyard?"

Even a peak-level Immortal King can only see that one spot at most. To see the exact location where the Heavenly God is sealed, one would need to be at least an Immortal Emperor.

Lin Zhao took a while to calm down before slowly nodding: "I didn't see very clearly, and I'm ashamed. I even suffered a backlash, and my soul is still a bit uncomfortable."

Upon hearing this, the Taiyi Immortal Emperor sighed, "With the body of an Immortal King, to look directly at the shadow of a Heavenly God, you are truly the first in the cultivation world to do so."

He raised his hand and fanned himself in front of Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao felt a gentle force slowly enter her sea of ​​consciousness, radiating a rich and abundant life force, which quickly restored her discomfort. In just a few breaths, she returned to normal.

This power is not aggressive at all; it is purely healing.

Lin Zhao lowered his hand, his gaze towards the Taiyi Immortal Emperor filled with shock.

She finally understood that the title of Taiyi Immortal Emperor as the number one alchemist might not be an exaggeration.

Although the pills refined by a Celestial Venerable-level alchemist are of a higher grade than those of a Celestial Emperor like Taiyi, when it comes to healing techniques, especially those that have an immediate effect on the soul, if Taiyi Celestial Emperor says he is second, who dares to say he is first?

The Taiyi Immortal Emperor said, "This place is ten thousand miles away from the Heavenly Well. The Heavenly Well is ten thousand miles in circumference, but not a blade of grass grows here; it is utterly devoid of life."

Lin Zhao subconsciously glanced at the flowers, plants, and trees around him, then looked at the Taiyi Immortal Emperor.

"It was I who sealed off the influence of the gods on the area ten thousand meters away, but I am about to ascend to immortality. Once I die, at least tens of millions of lives will be lost. Therefore, I have no choice but to send someone to fetch my granddaughter so that I can pass on my cultivation to her."

Therefore, it is not a sacrifice in the full sense.

But having a young girl guard this place from now on, only to have her be the first one killed when the gods awaken, is no different from a sacrifice.

Lin Zhao recalled what Yun Fei had said to her, and a chill ran down her spine.

The child seemed to have long been prepared to sacrifice herself to do something; this was clearly not an innate awareness, but something cultivated later in life.

In other words, Yunfei's elders had long planned for her to be sent here at the prime of her life to guard against the corruption of the gods' evil thoughts? It's hard to say whether this is right or wrong, because even Yunfei herself has accepted her fate under this logic, but…

Lin Zhao asked, "Isn't there any other way? Yunfei isn't much older than me."

The Taiyi Immortal Emperor's gaze fell on the distant courtyard: "Unless, this old man can obtain another Thousand Autumn Flowers."

Lin Zhao's pupils contracted, and her scalp tingled instantly.

Where in the cultivation world can one still find the Thousand Autumn Flowers? There will never be another.

But I have a genuine Qianqiuhua bloodline by my side!

If the Taiyi Immortal Emperor were to capture him now and force Fan Chen to appear, Lin Zhao would find that he really wouldn't have much power to resist.

Was this all part of their plan?

Now that the Taiyi Immortal Emperor had said all this, he no longer concealed his second purpose. "Before this, I had completely despaired of the appearance of the Thousand Autumn Flower, but if possible, it is always the best choice for me to guard this place myself. Young friend, please do me this favor and give me a jade bottle containing the blood of the Thousand Autumn Flower."

Lin Zhao's breathing became a little rapid.

"I need to ask him about this. And... does the senior only want blood?"

Weighing the pros and cons, if what the Taiyi Immortal Emperor said is true, this is indeed the best choice.

Taiyi Immortal Emperor nodded.

"The effects of the Thousand Autumn Flower bloodline I have cultivated are no different from those of the Thousand Autumn Flower itself. I am no longer the naive newcomer to the immortal ranks."

Lin Zhao contacted Fan Chen through the contract.

Upon hearing Lin Zhao's request, Fan Chen first returned to the Blue Duck Secret Realm and then appeared beside Lin Zhao.

Together with Ziyue.

Fan Chen's gaze fell on Taiyi Immortal Emperor: "If I give you my blood, will you be able to advance and stay here to guard this place forever?"

Taiyi Immortal Emperor shook his head: "Whether you give me blood or not, I will guard this place until I ascend to immortality. Obtaining the blood of the Thousand Autumn Flower will only give me a chance to break through, not necessarily advance me to the Immortal Venerable level."

Taiyi Immortal Emperor is already the pinnacle of plant-type divine beast cultivation in the cultivation world. Its existence also shows that the upper limit of plant-type divine beasts is just here. Without the Thousand Autumn Flower, it wouldn't even have reached the level of Immortal Emperor.

Fan Chen has half the bloodline of a plant-type divine beast. He can accept blood donation, but seeing the current state of the Taiyi Immortal Emperor and thinking of his own father, he can't help but feel a sense of sorrow for his own kind.

In the cultivation world, does one's birth truly determine the upper limit of everything?
Taiyi Immortal Emperor was already the pinnacle of plant-type divine beasts. Despite reaching this point and contributing so much to the cultivation world, he still did not receive the protection of the Heavenly Dao.

“I am willing to give you my blood,” Fan Chen said. “However, if you advance in your cultivation, would you be willing to accept Zi Yue and me as your disciples?”

Taiyi Immortal Emperor and Lin Zhao were both taken aback by his words.

Taiyi Immortal Emperor first looked at Lin Zhao, and seeing that she did not object, he smiled and said, "Of course, if you are willing."

Lin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, while also thinking to himself that he had to help Taiyi Immortal Emperor advance in rank no matter what.

She hadn't guided Fan Chen and Zi Yue in their cultivation journey, and unlike Jin Ya, they didn't have such a powerful lineage. However, among all the people Lin Zhao had met, there really wasn't a suitable master for the two of them. Now that Fan Chen had brought it up himself, Lin Zhao was surprised to find that Taiyi Immortal Emperor was a very suitable one.

If the other party advances to the Immortal Venerable realm...

Then Fan Chen and Zi Yue would have gained a master at the level of a Celestial Venerable.
