My Daoist partner helps me cultivate immortality

They possess the means to communicate with the Lin family in the upper realm, although the last time definite information about the upper realm was leaked was thousands of years ago.

However, the Lin family's status remains special in the eyes of high-level cultivators who are aware of their existence.

'The Lin family... I once used the identity of a cultivator from that family.'

Legend has it that the Lin family possesses an artifact that allows them to connect with the previous Lin family. Occasionally, after hundreds or even tens of thousands of years, they can receive messages, long or short, passed down from the upper realm.

"News from the upper realm is extremely important to the entire cultivation world."

"Once the Lin family bloodline in the lower realm is severed, the Lin family in the upper realm will probably never send information to the lower realm again!"

"Therefore, as long as the direct descendants remain hidden, their positions are very secure..."

Lin Ye held the scrolls sent by the Lin family, lost in thought.

With its large and powerful family and business, Wanbaolou naturally had many sources of information!

Lin Ye pinned his hopes of finding out about the Martial Emperor era on Wanbaolou, but he didn't expect that the Lin family would contact him so quickly.

They sent over information about 10 years ago, which also included their speculations.

Lin Ye flipped to the end and found that this handwritten letter was written by the patriarch of the Lin family, and the wording was very sophisticated.

'That counts as paying homage to me.'

'I once used the Lin family's identity; it seems we have a connection.'

Lin Ye looked at the messenger from the Lin family and smiled, "Please thank the clan leader for me."

Now that the Lin family's position is so secure—if only a way could be found to take control of it...

Furthermore, if one were to tie their own life to the lives of all members of the Lin family...

Because of the need to obtain information from the upper realm, no human cultivator in the cultivation world dared to attack the Lin family unless they wanted to become the target of public criticism.

Lin Ye's eyes flickered slightly. No wonder the Lin family was a reclusive family, with its direct descendants usually remaining hidden.

There are probably quite a few people eyeing their family's unique background.

If you can master it, it's a great talisman, a powerful card!

Wanbaolou regards intelligence as a source of wealth and attaches great importance to the Lin family, so it is willing to cooperate with them. In essence, the head of Wanbaolou is protecting the Lin family.

Lin Ye's thumb and forefinger tips were almost touching, and he unconsciously made a "subtle" gesture with his hand.

Come to think of it, I do have a tiny bit of a weak claim to the Lin family... just a tiny bit!

The messenger bowed and said, "Your Highness, this junior will take his leave now."

Lin Ye raised his hand and said, "Hey, don't rush off. The Demon Subduing Pavilion is holding a competition, with activities every day. It's very lively."

"You can stay here for a while before going back."

"Coming from a reclusive family, you probably don't spend much time outside," Lin Ye said with a smile.

He was halfway through his sentence when he saw the other person hesitate, and he knew that this must be a direct descendant of the Lin family who had been hiding his identity for many years.

The Lin family really values ​​him; fate has it.

The other person's eyes still held a hint of hesitation as they clasped their hands in a fist and said, "We dare not disappoint Your Highness's kindness. The palace is indeed bustling with activity, but... we don't usually stay outside for long..."

Lin Ye waved his sleeve and laughed heartily, "Rules are rigid, but people are flexible!"

"Don't be afraid. If your teachers have any objections, tell them to come to me."

"Are you afraid that your master and I can't protect you?"

"Don't dare!"

The envoy finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

Lin Ye couldn't help but chuckle to himself, realizing all along that she really wanted to stay!

It's like a strict kid finally getting a chance to play on their phone at a relative's house with whom they have a good relationship...

"Thank you, Prince Lin!" the envoy quickly said, clasping his hands in greeting. "Regarding my father, please explain why I haven't returned home in your reply..."

"it is good."

Lin Ye remained calm, though somewhat surprised.

It turns out this girl is the daughter of the Lin family patriarch!

Sending her as an envoy clearly shows the goodwill the Lin family is showing.

Lin Ye was unaware that the other side had sent out a message about further cooperation at some point, but he wasn't in a hurry to take the initiative to contact them; he was waiting for them to get impatient.

Judging from the current situation, it will probably be some years before the Lin family seeks deeper cooperation with Lin Ye.

After all, if Lin Ye truly needed access to the Upper Realm, or even to impersonate a cultivator from the Lin family, it would be something only a Mahayana stage cultivator would consider.

Lin Ye beckoned to a servant: "This is my younger sister. She's here to tour the market. Make sure she's settled in."

The Kunpeng clan's subordinates clasped their hands and said, "Yes, Your Highness!"

"Thank you... thank you, senior!" The envoy was slightly surprised to hear Lin Ye suddenly call her "little sister".

She took her leave, her two crescent-shaped hair buns swaying by her ears, her semi-transparent blue Taoist robe fluttering. Lin Ye stared at her back for a while.

"Hmm...you really do look a bit like me. Could we really have been from the same family five hundred years ago?"

Lin Ye thought to himself, "If we cultivate together, I wonder if it will feel strange."

Speaking of which... if one wants to infiltrate the Lin family in the Upper Realm, obtaining the Lin family's legitimate bloodline is essential.

This matter can be planned for early on.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Ye continued to focus his gaze on the intelligence from 10 years ago.

........

Around 100,000 years ago, it was the era of the Martial Emperor and many powerful cultivators!

Lin Yeyuan called it "the last golden age".

Although the specific cause is unknown, seeing the description of abundant spiritual energy in the world and the flourishing of all things, Lin Ye felt that it was similar to the Golden Age.

It is likely because a great upheaval, similar to the Dark Ages, had occurred before this golden age.

What's even more remarkable is that the last golden age 100,000 years ago lacked cultivation techniques!

The Lin family's secret letter only briefly mentioned that cultivators of that era lacked mature methods for cultivation and combat.

But the underlying concept is terrifying.

But one can already imagine how devastating the catastrophe that preceded this golden age must have been.

Although it doesn't seem to have reached the level of the cataclysm that caused the reopening of civilization 40,000 years ago.

However, most of the cultivation methods, supernatural powers, and secret techniques in the world have been lost and are in severe shortage, which is why cultivators generally lack the means to cultivate.

'I'm afraid many cultivators are like wild spirits, completely ignorant of the methods...'

'If an ancient method were to emerge, the competition for it would be fierce!'

'Isn't this a huge boon for me?'

Lin Ye's eyes lit up as he glanced at his storage ring.

With the Star Alliance's database and the information gathered during the Dark Ages, Lin Ye possessed an incredibly rich collection of cultivation methods.

If we could obtain something from 100,000 years ago, who knows how much wealth we could exchange for, or how much of a stir it would cause...

Lin Ye could hardly imagine it before seeing it with his own eyes.

There was another bombshell from the Lin family... Lin Ye's gaze remained fixed on the book.

One hundred thousand years ago.

A small amount of immortal energy still lingers in the world!

This sparse immortal energy is enough to allow cultivators in the early stages of tribulation to remain in the world.

Although they hardly intervened, they seemed to be somewhat hampered.

The Lin family was unclear about the specifics of this hindrance; in short, there was no record of a Transcending Tribulation cultivator intervening in the information that has been passed down to this day.

But Lin Ye guessed that there must still be a way, and he should take action at least once!

'The existence of cultivators undergoing tribulation was primarily a deterrent to that era.'

'But it also shows that the principle of "the older, the stronger" still applies. Perhaps, even without cultivation methods, the last golden age was still more prosperous than the one I experienced!'

The text also mentions that all things flourished and that this era was close to the rise of the Martial Emperor!

'Many rare materials for breaking through the Martial Emperor's Treasure Mirror will certainly be much easier to find back then than they are now.'

'For example, I can't find a single material for breaking through to the fourth rank.'

Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

Turn to the last page of the book.

"2..Back then, there was a divine artifact called the Daozi Ranking, and countless geniuses pursued leaving their names on it, though the specific method was unknown."

"It is speculated that even many Tribulation Transcending stage cultivators are unable to ascend to the Dao Child Ranking."

"The Martial Emperor had his name engraved on the Dao Child Ranking while he was still in the Nascent Soul stage."

"It is rumored that the biggest benefit of having one's name on the list is that it allows the body's energy to be purified into celestial energy in advance—"

"So mournful!"

Lin Ye's eyes widened, and he gripped the handrail tightly with one hand.

That's all the information about the Lin family. Then came the letter from the clan leader trying to establish connections... But this information was already quite sufficient.

Lin Ye greatly admires this era.

If only my name could be engraved on the Daoist Ranking...

Replacing one's spiritual energy with celestial energy is definitely a huge advantage!

Not to mention, in the past 40,000 years, apart from those that are fixed in the immortal artifacts and cannot be extracted, there is no immortal energy left at all.

In their current cultivation civilization, and even within the entire universe... if they obtain immortal energy, they are all unique beings!

The only problem is that even a figure like Emperor Wu only had his name engraved when he reached the Nascent Soul stage.

Lin Ye didn't have any specific information about the rules, so he was still a little unsure.

'Since even cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage struggle to make the list, yet Martial Emperors can, the requirements are likely related to aptitude and potential.'

'I'm not afraid of that... the Evolution Cube should be of some help to me too!'

.......

Lin Ye opened the panel.

The small, golden characters quickly appeared.

[Immortal Emperor's Blood: 261899/100]

There's still a long way to go before we reach the next door!

Recently, Lin Ye has been deeply involved in dual cultivation, and his growth rate has been very fast, but after all, the cooldown period is too long.

Lin Ye decided to make preparing to invade the past 100,000 years ago a long-term goal.

In terms of timing, it has to come after dealing with the effects of the blood mist.

As for the short-term goal, it is of course to break through the third level of the Nascent Soul stage.

However, Lin Ye moved the panel and found an attribute that was not far from being broken through.

【Mythical Beast Bloodline - Geng Metal Rat: 46105/50000】

"Hmm... so the first bloodline purification was my first beast bloodline!"

"Thanks to Yingying, if I want to break through this year, I will probably need to cultivate with Yingying about five times a day."

"Good, let's achieve a breakthrough this year!"

Lin Ye's eyes narrowed.

He flashed toward the metal-elemental array eye.
