Xian Ni: The God of Killing Returns, Marries Li Muwan at the Beginning

"Noisy."

Lin Che suddenly exerted force with his right hand, and in an instant, Xu Ting's body exploded, along with the nascent soul within him, which was also destroyed in the explosion.

Only a storage bag remained lying on the ground.

Wang Lin, panting heavily, stared at the spot where Xu Ting had vanished, his hand gripping the sword trembling slightly.

This battle seemed easy, but in reality, all the trump cards had been used. If it weren't for the final fusion of sword intent and the concept of reincarnation, the outcome would have been uncertain.

Fortunately, Senior Brother Lin Che came; otherwise, even if he had managed to kill Xu Ting, his own strength would have been damaged, and if other cultivators had come, he might have died here.

Wang Lin bent down and picked up the storage bag. He scanned it with his divine sense and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. There were quite a few rare refining materials inside, which were obviously what Xu Ting was preparing to use to break through to the Shattered Nirvana Realm.

"Donglin Star's foundation isn't too bad."

Wang Lin smiled faintly, put the storage bag into his pocket, turned around and looked at his senior brother Lin Che in front of him, and said with a smile, "Senior brother, I'm afraid that only a few of us are left on the entire battlefield."

"Ah."

Lin Che put one hand behind his back and said calmly, "There's still half an incense stick's time before you're sealed as an immortal. Stay here and meditate to prepare your immortal power while you wait to be teleported out. I will protect you."

If it were anyone else protecting him, Wang Lin would naturally not believe it, but Senior Brother Lin Che was completely different, after all, the two were old acquaintances.

Nearly a thousand years have passed since they met on Vermilion Bird Star, so naturally they understand Lin Che's personality.

.........

About half a day.

All cultivators outside the battlefield were teleported to the outside world.

On the thousand-foot-tall blue stone, one hundred and nine figures opened their eyes simultaneously.

"Thunder Immortal Palace, bestow titles upon a hundred immortals!"

The moment Yan Leizi stood up, the entire Thunder Immortal Palace suddenly trembled.

A melodious, ethereal sound, like the cry of a phoenix or the long roar of a jade dragon, came from the highest heavens, causing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to surge.

Auspicious clouds surged in from all directions, transforming into a churning sea of ​​clouds atop the palace. A misty, ethereal aura drifted over the white jade railings, clinging to the robes of the cultivators and condensing into tiny, crystalline dewdrops.

Three white cranes emerged from the clouds, their wingtips casting golden light onto the glazed tiles of the palace, refracting countless rays of light, truly like a celestial realm descending from the legends.

Outside the Thunder Immortal Palace, millions of cultivators stood up in unison.

From the white-haired family patriarch to the young disciples, all stood with their heads bowed, the dark crowd rising and falling like waves beneath the sea of ​​clouds.

The old monsters on the prayer mats put away their arrogance and stood upright one by one. In the sky, the envoys of the Thunder Immortal Palace were arranged in a square formation, the lightning on their armor reflecting the auspicious clouds, solemn as if divine soldiers had descended to earth.

At this moment, hundreds of millions of cultivators in the Luo Tian Star Region looked up through the sound transmission stone.

From the volcanic secret realm of the Eastern Region to the frozen star belt of the Northern Region, the magnificent scene of the Thunder Immortal Palace appears on the sky of every cultivation star.

Children cheered as they pointed at the cranes in the clouds, elders stroked their beards and sighed, and many cultivators gripped their weapons tightly. They knew that this conferment of immortality was not only an honor, but also a battle cry.

"Wow—"

A red-crowned crane flew over, carrying a yellow silk ribbon in its beak, circled three times above Yan Leizi's head, and then released its beak.

The moment the yellow silk fell, it suddenly burst forth with boundless golden light, and intricate celestial patterns appeared on it, seemingly woven from stardust.

"After passing through three trials and six paths, and the narrow pass, a total of one hundred and nine people have emerged victorious."

Yan Leizi grasped the yellow silk, his voice carrying across the heavens through the celestial music, and said indifferently: "The Heavenly Dao is flawed, so let us leave a glimmer of hope. Today, I will confer the title of one principal and one deputy Thunder Immortal, along with the thirty-six Heavenly Generals and the seventy-two Earthly Fiends, who will be known as the Hundred Immortals!"

Having said that, Yan Leizi's gaze swept across the bluestone platform like lightning: "Lin Che, step forward!"

Lin Che stepped forward, his blood-red robes fluttering in the immortal wind: "Here!"

"You have won first place in the three trials of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and your killing prowess in the One Line Sky is unparalleled. You are hereby appointed as a genuine Thunder Immortal! You shall command three thousand vanguards, wield the Heavenly Tiger Banner, and may establish your own academy and sect!" Yan Leizi flicked his finger, and the golden immortal brush wrote swiftly on the yellow silk.

"The Authentic Thunder Immortal: Lin Che!"

As soon as the six characters were formed, they transformed into a ten-zhang-long thunder tiger, roaring as it pounced on Lin Che.

Lei Hu suddenly shrank to a size of three inches in front of him, forming a small flag about ten feet in front of him.

The flag has a flowing, dark pattern that vaguely depicts a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, and when touched, it seems to have a thunderous power coursing through the fingertips.

"Thank you, Lord Palace Master!"

The moment Lin Che received the flag, the words on the yellow silk suddenly flew into the sky, transforming into large golden characters that hung in the heavens. All the cultivators in the entire Luo Tian Star Region could see the name clearly.

"Xu Mu, step forward!"

Wang Lin, dressed in white with white hair, appeared even more refined in the golden light as he strode towards this direction.

"His killing prowess is second only to the Heavenly Sword, but his Dao heart is unwavering. He has been granted the title of Second-Rank Thunder Immortal! He commands two thousand vanguard soldiers and wields the Xuan Snake Banner!"

As soon as Yan Leizi finished speaking, a new name was added to the yellow silk.

This time, a dark black serpent flew out, circled Wang Lin three times, and then transformed into a small flag that landed in his palm.

"As you command."

Wang Lin's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable power.

Next, thirty-six golden rays shot into the sky in succession!

"Celestial Immortal: Shen Gonghu!"

"Celestial Immortal: Battle of Sky Fierce!"

Each name that appeared drew cheers from somewhere in the star field.

Seventy-two streaks of silver light followed closely behind, and the names of the Earthly Fiends were also engraved on the yellow silk.

"Thunder Immortals, Heavenly Gang Immortals, enter the Ascension Pool!"

With a wave of his sleeve, Yan Leizi caused the sea of ​​clouds to surge and transform into a jade pool about ten feet square, which slowly descended.

The blue water in the pool shimmered with a glassy light, and one could vaguely see the star sand spread on the bottom of the pool, its spiritual energy so rich that it was almost solidified.

"Enter the pool to cleanse your marrow, merge with the heavenly essence, and transform your artistic conception. From this moment on, shed your mortal body and take a step towards becoming a true immortal!"

Lin Che and Wang Lin exchanged a glance and stepped into the pool first.

The moment the blue water reached their waists, the two of them groaned simultaneously. The pool water seemed like countless fine needles, drilling into their bodies through their pores, tearing at their old foundations. Yet, a gentle immortal power followed closely behind, reshaping their foundations to be even stronger.

At the edge of the pool, Blood God Child stared at the backs of the two figures in the water and suddenly clenched his fists.

The sound transmission stone spread this scene throughout Luo Tian, ​​and hundreds of millions of cultivators knew about it. Thus, a new era began in the Luo Tian Star Region.

Lin Che thought to himself, "System, preserve my artistic conception so that it won't be completely destroyed by the Ascension Pool."

[Ding: Artistic Conception Protection Activated. This evolution of the Ascension Pool will not harm any of the host's artistic concepts.]

In ancient times, Qi cultivators pursued longevity and immortality. Entering the Immortal Realm and ascending to the Immortal Pool was a great honor, which altered the Yuan Power within their bodies, transforming it into Immortal Yuan Power, and thus making them true immortals!
This is the ultimate pursuit of Qi cultivators in ancient times!
Without cultivating one's artistic conception and gaining insights, the improvement of one's cultivation level depends entirely on rare and precious materials and elixirs imbued with immortal energy.

After the collapse of the Immortal Realm, the reborn cultivators no longer sought immortality, for the Immortal Realm no longer existed; they cultivated the Dao!
Because cultivation is the Way, enlightenment is attained.

Insight, sudden realization, and enlightenment all depend on the word "enlightenment."

The key to spiritual cultivation lies in this enlightenment!
