The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

Lin Du calmly finished her last meal, put down her chopsticks, and then realized that no one had eaten much and had been staring at her.

Dark clouds gradually rolled in from the blue sky above, like waves.

"The meal is over, and all good things must come to an end." Lin Du stood up and smiled. "But we'll meet again someday. Goodbye."

She waved her hand and flew towards the summit without looking back.

Sheng Yan looked down and realized that Lin Du had signed his name on his iron plate with his spiritual power, without using paper or pen at all.

She smiled helplessly and turned to think about how to cut off the sheet metal and turn it into a plaque.

There's always a way.

Sheng Yan laughed and stroked the iron plate.

Yuan Ye grabbed Xi Qin and chased after them, shouting, "Hey, no, play music! Play music!"

Ni Jinxuan followed, saying, "The thunder is so loud! What kind of music are you playing!"

Xia Tianwu watched Lin Du's retreating figure and blinked hard.

She seemed to smell the scent of spring water thawing, a scent that had been there for a long time.

Mo Lin stood silently behind her and patted her on the shoulder.

"I don't know, I just feel like I should... thank her." Xia Tianwu thought for a moment, "In any case, I should thank her."

Lin Du was so much younger than them, yet he always seemed to be leading them.

"Junior Aunt doesn't like to say thank you, but she... would definitely prefer you to save more people and refine better pills."

Mo Lin paused for a moment, then said, "You also want me to be upright and have some sense of right and wrong."

Yan Qing was so excited that he almost dropped his pen. "This is... this is the first person to ascend to heaven at the age of five hundred!"

As Feng Chao looked at that figure from behind, she suddenly remembered the child's appearance when she first met him.

She was thin and frail, so thin that it was impossible to tell her age or gender. Her face was devoid of any flesh. Later, when she was taking on apprentices, she had to write down their clean backgrounds. She went to Lin Du's birthplace to check. It was an ordinary little town called Linshui Town, with a river ferry crossing, and it was quite wealthy.

Lin Du has been sleeping in an abandoned, dilapidated tile-roofed house for many years. She is an orphan of unknown origin. When she was young, she was raised by her neighbors on porridge and animal milk, but no one dared to adopt her. They always felt that the child would not survive the winter and that adopting her would only add to their sorrow.

That child was like a stray cat that everyone pitied, someone they might feed a few times as they passed by, but no one would take home.

She had heard many stories about Lin Du's childhood. She was perceptive and alert, and from a very young age, she was able to read people's expressions and help them speak and act to earn a living.

A human trafficker saw that the child was clever and wanted to sell her cheaply into a pleasure boat as a maid. He planned to throw her off the boat if she died. However, the people of the town chased her to the ferry and rescued her.

Feng Chao thought that it was around that time that Lin Du gave himself a name.

From then on, Lin Du wore the large robe given to him by a kind old lady, and tried his best to tie his hair up, dressing like all the waiters in the small shops in town.

After listening to the people in Linshui Town, Feng Chao pieced together a story about Lin Du when he was young.

The world has always been full of malice, but also many hands that will pull people back from the fire and the abyss.

The people of Linshui Town never knew that Lin Du of the Supreme Sect was an orphan raised by the entire town. Perhaps some people might have made that connection.

Those who made that connection have probably already entered the cycle of reincarnation over such a long period of time.

No one knows that five hundred years ago, in Lindu, a frail little baby, as weak as a kitten, was gently picked up by the townspeople from a pile of withered grass by the roadside on a winter night.

Five hundred years later, Lin Du had become an unprecedented genius immortal.

She has always been mature, determined, and quick-witted, and never caused anyone any trouble.

Feng Chao thought, "That's wonderful. She has finally grown up completely."

Thunder rumbled down from the heavens, and this time the tribulation clouds seemed even wider than usual.

Lin Du glanced at the silver dragon circling in the clouds not far away. That was the final step to truly becoming a dragon. If he couldn't pass the tribulation of lightning, all his previous efforts would be in vain. If he could pass the tribulation of lightning, then Wei Zhi would undoubtedly become a true dragon.

She stood atop the precipice, raising her hand to repeatedly ward off the lightning tribulations, and casually refilled the two lightning pools on the back mountain.

The massive bolt of lightning crashed down with destructive force, but it was contained by the array that Lin Du had designed in advance, preventing any leakage.

Even through the transparent protective barrier, the crowd was so overwhelmed by the power of the heavenly lightning that they couldn't lift their heads.

Everyone was silently counting the number of lightning bolts that would strike.

19, 29, 39... 59... 79...

Until the final nine heavenly tribulations.

Lin Du was struck by lightning, and in an instant, she felt as if the entire seawater of the Dongming Realm had been poured over her body, leaving her numb from the top of her head to her heels.

She swayed slightly, and immediately looked at her body. Fortunately, her heart was filled with the power of lightning, and it looked as bright and sparkling as a lightning crystal, with the shapes of the lightning growing inside clearly visible.

Fortunately, this fragile heart, though it looks brittle, has bravely withstood the impact of this massive destructive force.

The last eight, then seven... then three...

Lin Du was still standing on the summit, his entire body constantly enveloped by the power of lightning.

"Even immortals stand while undergoing tribulation!" Qiu Si exclaimed, tilting her head back. "My dad would love to turn into a turtle and crawl into a defensive artifact."

Ren Zhen crossed his arms and shook his head. "When my master was undergoing his tribulation, he could only sit still. I always said that Immortal Venerable Lin Du was the most ethereal and awe-inspiring, and he said I had no taste!"

The 101st generation of disciples tilted their heads back and exclaimed in unison, "Wow!"

It wasn't that Lin Du didn't want to sit down, but Lei had made him stiff and unable to sit.

The moment the last bolt of lightning struck, she suddenly saw the white jade steps in her consciousness.

She had already reached the end, but then another path appeared before her—the supreme path.

Just one step is her path to immortality, the path of Dongzhen Dao.

Heaven asks, "Have you regretted your actions all this time?"

Lin Du turned around, and on the white jade steps she had climbed step by step, there were marks of her perfect merit.

From the very first day she returned home, every step she took was correct, and she has no regrets about anything she did or any choice she made.

The Dao values ​​life and offers boundless salvation to all beings.

Lin Du looked up and said, "I will become an immortal, and I will have no regrets in this life."

The power of lightning, carrying both annihilation and rebirth, flowed harmoniously within his body, ultimately returning to nothingness.

A torrential downpour of divine rain fell, and the calamity clouds finally turned into auspicious clouds.

After another dragon roar, the silver dragon, charred black from the attack, shed its outer skin, revealing a dazzling silver light. It possessed the power of a true dragon, summoning clouds and rain, and riding the clouds and mist.

For those who have achieved perfect enlightenment and have a clear conscience, the tribulation is never a calamity.

It is a complete end, but also a brand new beginning.

The silver dragon swooped down and circled around the Azure-Clad Immortal.

At that moment, beneath the auspicious clouds, towering peaks stood alone, and a silver dragon pierced through the clouds. Its head was slightly lowered, but its body was majestic and awe-inspiring. Clearly, the dragon was like an ice peak or a sword blade, and the surrounding spiritual light would shatter like a jade mountain upon touching it. It carried a divine might that could not be looked at directly, yet it was willing to bow down.

As the silver dragon coiled around him, the white-haired immortal calmly raised his eyes. In that instant, it was as if he heard the sound of ice shattering.

It is in the coldest season that the sturdy green bamboo grows. It may be out of season, but it opens up the world and stands proudly against the snow and wind.

Ni Jinxuan suddenly raised her hand, as she suddenly remembered the first time she saw Lin Du.

At that time, her intuition told her that this person was very important.

She always thought it was because she naturally liked beautiful things.

From a young age, she loved pearls and jade, and she also loved unadorned jade wrapped in coarse linen.

There are countless good-looking people in the world, and Lin Du is just one of them, but she liked him at first sight.

Now she knows that she was born with great fortune and has a premonition about many things she will experience, and her premonitions are always accurate.

Now, this important person has gone to a distant place that she can no longer catch up with.

Ni Jinxuan shouted loudly, "Junior Uncle! Wait for me in the heavens!!! We will definitely ascend to find you!!!"

Lin Du turned around, smiled at her, and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you upstairs."

As the celestial ladder descended with divine light, Chu Guanmeng whispered through the contract, "You're not going to cause a scene as soon as you go up, are you?"

Lin Du looked up. "How could that be? Am I that stupid?"

"Don't forget who I am."

From then on, Dongming, a peerless genius, ascended to the Thirty-Three Heavens.

On that day, the entire Dongming Realm could hear that dragon's roar, followed by a white rainbow in the sky that pierced through the entire world. It was visible as soon as you looked up, as if the heavens of the Dongming Realm also felt that Lin Du was a magnificent chapter in the Dongming Realm.

Lin Du, the 99th generation disciple of the Supreme Sect, is the current leader of the array formation path. He was the first person to uncover the secret of the decline of the Heavenly Dao in the Dongming Realm. He killed the fallen god, slew the demon lord, mended the Heavenly Dao, swept away the demon realm, and saved all living beings.

She left behind countless riches and spiritual treasures for the Supreme Sect, resolved the misunderstandings among many within the sect, and personally mentored the next generation of pillars of the sect. Her contributions to the sect and to all cultivators in the Dongming Realm were immense.

After receiving the inheritance of the ancient god, she set up the Heavenly Crafting Pavilion, which anyone with the ability could learn from, and became one of the most respected people among the current talisman masters. She also left behind the simplest and most easy-to-understand books on array formations for countless people to learn from.

Compared to her achievements, her talent in cultivation seems rather insignificant.

Each stage has created almost unprecedented history, even surpassing the achievements of its predecessors.

Besides these, there are many other legends.

Legend has it that... Immortal Venerable Lin Du often advanced in cultivation after finishing his meals, making food cultivation extremely popular. Legend has it that on the day Immortal Venerable Lin Du ascended to immortality, a true dragon appeared in this Dongming Realm for the first time and bowed down in submission.

Legend has it that... Immortal Venerable Lin Du was born with knowledge and was exceptionally intelligent. He could see into people's hearts at a glance, and evil cultivators would flee in fear.

In the heart of the oasis of the new land, in the canyon, lies a Buddha's bone that suppresses and seals the Eye of Sin. The canyon itself was specially sealed by a powerful spirit, and a monument was erected there, inscribed with the handwriting and mark of Immortal Venerable Lin Du, to commemorate the Immortal Venerable's great feat of opening up the new land.

Even though Lin Du is no longer in the Dongming Realm, her name still lives on.
