My Daoist partner helps me cultivate immortality

"During her time, there were rumors in the Crimson Empire that the emperor of that generation dared not meet her!"

"Indeed, if we can win, why not try to steal the immortal energy?"

"It seems...very likely that the Martial Emperor is indeed that powerful, able to overshadow the Emperor of that generation while being a quasi-Emperor."

"So, looking at the entire universe, including the shattered Pangu World, no one can kill her."

This is a terrifying force.

Lin Ye was slightly sweating.

"Who is it?"

"The vast universe seems to hold many secrets..."

When I think of this place.

Guided by the Great Demon Clan, Lin Ye arrived in front of the second bronze coffin.

Lin Ye stepped forward to observe.

Huang Zhou exclaimed in amazement, "It's exactly the same as the bronze coffin outside!"

Lin Ye glanced at Huang Zhou with some surprise.

The second layer of the coffin is distinctly different from the outermost layer, with more complex patterns! Just one glance is enough to make you feel as if you can hear countless sacrificial chants.

Even with the help of the Great Demon Clan's perspective, the Desolate Curse could not discern the difference between the two bronze coffins.

"I reckon I can open it!"

A glint of light flashed in Lin Ye's eyes. With the support of the Emperor's Blood and the Jade Butterfly, he was not flustered.

He will point his finger across the coffin lid.

'Is it not possible...' Huang Zhou remained silent, feeling somewhat regretful.

Suddenly, the coffin lid began to shake violently!

The lid of the bronze coffin gradually opened!

At the same time, an earthquake struck the entire secret realm, and snow-white ash, seemingly from nowhere, fell from the sky, hollowing out the spiritual energy within a fist's radius as it landed on the ground.

Huang Zhou was both surprised and delighted. "Master, let's go quickly!"

"it is good!"

Soon, Lin Ye, along with the Great Demon Clan and the Desolate Curse, evaded the ashes of the calamity and arrived inside the second layer of the bronze coffin.

It was still a dimly lit space, like a tomb, but a subtle change had occurred...

It's estimated that Huang Zhou still won't see this change.

Lin Ye could not only see, but also feel a strange attraction drawing him in from a corner of the tunnel.

Huang Zhou said loudly, "Congratulations, Master, you've advanced another level! The second secret realm is at least as complex as the outer secret realm. Let the clan stay and explore, while we wait outside for good news."

"No need, I've already found my destination." Lin Ye's expression remained unchanged as he strode towards it.

"Master is so amazing!" Huang Zhou was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed.

The space around him kept twisting and deforming, but Lin Ye remained unmoved and headed straight for his target.

"Master...that is..."

Huang Zhou followed behind Lin Ye and soon reached the end. She stared blankly at the end of the corridor.

The surroundings were vast and dark, as if one were in outer space. There were no walls to be found; only two rows of candles illuminated the dim tomb chamber.

At the end of the candlelight was a heavy bronze coffin.

"We...we really found it..." Huang Zhou's voice was a little hoarse.

Lin Ye nodded, his gaze sweeping over the ancient bronze coffin, where a girl in red lay quietly.

Her long red skirt resembled flowing blood.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the girl was not wearing a red dress, but rather a long white dress almost entirely stained with blood. Her face was serene, and she remained completely still.

"The Martial Emperor is dead."

Lin Ye stepped forward, lifted her eyelids, confirmed that her pupils were dilated, and whispered the death sentence.

"Master...come back soon..."

Huang Zhou trembled to the side.

Having learned about emotions, she now only felt that Lin Ye was incredibly bold!

"It doesn't matter."

'Now that we're here, how can we not try the third coffin...' Lin Ye's eyes flickered slightly as he stood up from in front of the Martial Emperor's corpse and extended his fingertips toward the third ancient coffin.

Immediately, the coffin lid began to shake violently.

At the same time that the leaves touched the coffin lid.

It was as if a grand idea was sweeping in.

"Who is disturbing my peaceful sleep?"

.......

the other side.

Bai Yue stared in astonishment at the pitch-black interior of the third ancient coffin.

how...

Nothing?

"If there was nothing there, why did the ancient coffin open by itself?"

Bai Yue's face turned pale; she couldn't believe it.

"Let me divine the secrets of heaven...!"

She sat down cross-legged and began to pinch at lightning speed.

.......

Lin Ye's imperial blood reacted, and the jade disc shone brightly, a rare occurrence.

At this moment, the coffin lid finally opened a crack amidst the tremors.

Beneath the darkness inside the coffin, something indescribable seemed to writhe.

An immense and overwhelming consciousness surged forth: "Who has disturbed my peaceful slumber?"

"Yuanshi/Hao, how could it be you?" That thunderous thought suddenly turned into one of utter terror.

"I'm leaving now!"

Lin Ye discovered that within the other party's thoughts that transcended time and erupted simultaneously, there was a concept that contained different meanings at the same time.

'Yuanshi/Hao...'

"Is the other party a transcendent being?"

'I once thought that, from the perspective of an being transcending the river of time, my journey to great distances was a certainty; it seems this is calling to me.'

'But was I insane back then...? It wasn't "me" who was insane! To avoid that tragic end, I had to take action...'

Everything happened at the same moment, a very peculiar feeling. At the same time, it was as if one was sensing infinite information, but the Emperor's Blood steadily absorbed it, revealing only the core ideas that could be understood.

That grand vision turned into despair.

"I've only crossed the long river, yet I've already been captured by you!"

"Okay, then let me help you."

An unknown, great being has calmed down, seemingly accepting the status quo. (The rest of the text appears to be random characters and symbols, possibly a corrupted or incomplete message.)

There is no difference between those who have reached the end of the road.

"However, you are different from others, exceptional, and the gap between you is infinite."

"The only one among us who might be able to transcend the end, Yuanshi/Hao, you probably can't believe it, but whether I'm devoured by you or merge with you, it's something I resist... I hope you can find a third path!"

The grand idea grew weaker and weaker, and Lin Ye realized that its consciousness was gradually fading away, seemingly accompanied by the process of being devoured.

An anonymous detached individual said, "If you want to take the third path, find a balance between radicalism and stability, and never completely lean towards one side."

"One day, when you see the Dao Fruit of the Epoch, do not destroy it / become one with it!"

"It seems you can remember? Then you must remember what I said!"

"Yuanshi/Hao, I can't call you that anymore! What's your name?"

Lin Ye gave an answer.

The grand vision is growing weaker and weaker.

"Okay... Lin Ye, I wish you success in surpassing us."

"Also, my name is..."

Its intentions have become almost imperceptible.

It has finally been completely eliminated.

All the anomalies subsided into calm in the cross-section of time.

"Master, there is nothing in the third ancient coffin."

Huang Zhou just stared blankly as he spoke.

"Phew...yes, there's nothing there."

Lin Ye took a deep breath to calm herself down.

I feel that I have received some indescribable benefits.

The so-called third way.

It should be a special possibility beyond the two inevitable ones.

If such a transcendent being truly exists, then that transcendent being could be considered to have been his own master before his death.

And Master is about to be...!

'Wait, the so-called transcendent beings might have existed even before time and matter existed. Is that really possible?' / Lu 8 IX Wu 8. Cage is / Ming (5)

'Don't think about it anymore! Just remember what it said.'

'At the same time, we must remember that its words may not be reliable...'

According to it, the gap is infinitely large, so I must have captured more than one transcendent being; I will encounter more in the future.

'Then let's wait to hear information from other angles, and then make a comprehensive judgment on whose words are more credible...'

'For now, let's just say Lin?, Meng, and Wuyi abandoned the shrimp.' Hearing this, I can't help but think of it.

Lin Ye's gaze calmed down.

Just like when the Emperor's Blood appeared.

Although it was quite shocking, it didn't really affect his current life.

Learning of the possibility of a "third path" beyond the two paths sealed by the Emperor's Bloodline felt quite good to Lin Ye.

At least, there's one more path to take without going crazy.

After leaving the bronze coffin and returning to the Lin residence, Lin Ye was still somewhat disoriented.

Suddenly, it crashed into the railing with a bang.

"Cough! The temporary side effects of high-level spiritual energy are really hard to control. It's almost like I've turned back into a mortal."

"He's just an ordinary person with exceptionally high stats."

"How should one cultivate under these circumstances...?"

Thinking of dual cultivation, Lin Ye came back to his senses and pinched his chin.

"Brother!"

With a clear and melodious call, the princess approached gracefully, her slender, white fingertips resting on Lin Ye's shoulder.
