My Daoist partner helps me cultivate immortality

Stealing the Heavenly Dao, he read the route the bright moon had taken, and the Thunder Spear flew straight towards the place where the Old Demon Emperor was in seclusion.

"One, two, three, four..."

Lin Ye did not return to the secluded cultivation room. Instead, he activated the [Ancient Immortal Secret Technique - Spatial Coordinates] to teleport back to a quiet room in the wilderness, silently counting down the seconds.

The bright moon had arrived. With a thought, Lin Ye shifted his perspective to where the bright moon was.

......

Xihe Prefecture.

Azure Dragon Sect.

The mountain gate was breached by mysterious lightning magic, the elders were extremely busy and the disciples were screaming and shouting.

Underground, the old demon king was so shocked that his heart nearly jumped out of his chest.

He instantly transformed into his true form, an aged azure dragon with flowing whiskers. Some of his scales had rotted away, revealing jagged gaps, and his lifespan seemed to have reached its limit.

But it still exudes majesty, and a haze begins to fall over the entire cave, as if the mountain is about to collapse.

Instantly, the noisy Canglong Sect cultivators above the cave fell silent as if they had sensed something, staring at the trembling earth with fearful eyes.

The very foundation of the sect, which even Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't shake, was now trembling...

It's even settling!

"What on earth happened!?"

The old dragon roared, "Fifteenth Brother! Have you finally shown your fangs?"

A wisp of smoke drifted from the bright moon, quickly condensing in the air into the shape of forest leaves.

Lin Ye shrugged: "It's urgent. I couldn't reach you even after burning incense, so this is the only way."

The old dragon was taken aback. The terrifying aura it had released slowly receded. It looked up at the dome of the cave and awkwardly tossed out an inscription to support the mountain.

The old demon emperor sighed, "My successor, what brings you to frighten this old man like this?"

Lin Ye nodded and began to tell the old demon emperor about a ghost that had existed in the world for millions of years.

.......

After sharing the information, Lin Ye reminded him, "The period of tribulation is when you are most vulnerable."

"Yuan Ting is most likely to make his move at that time."

The old demon emperor said blankly, "I don't have much lifespan left, so I'm of no use to the person you're talking about."

“A cultivator’s soul cannot ascend in part; he cannot possess the body of an ascended being.”

Lin Ye nodded: "Yes, so they might force you to sign some kind of contract that can still be maintained in the Upper Realm—"

"If it doesn't work, I'll just kill you."

The old demon emperor's gaze was complex.

He looked at the rotting flesh on his dragon body and said, "Fifteenth Prince, do you know how old I am this year?"

"According to the records in the book, it's less than a thousand years old."

The old demon emperor's lifespan is almost over.

But he's not even a thousand years old!

Only cultivators from the post-Evil Immortal era would abuse the Blood Burning Secret Technique like he did.

However, what Lin Ye was more curious about was something else: "You have always been cautious in your actions and have not fought with many people. Where did your lifespan go?"

"Could it be..." Lin Ye frowned, "...related to Yuan Ting?"

"Indeed sharp!"

The old demon emperor said, "I don't know what you mean by Yuan Ting... but the rotting flesh on my body that I can't suppress has been bothering me for decades."

"Only the Blood Burning Secret Technique can be used to restrain it."

Lin Ye said, "If I'm not mistaken, this rotting flesh appeared after you obtained the seed of the elixir of immortality, right?"

"Yes..."

The old demon emperor gritted his teeth and said, "Although some time has passed, it was indeed after that."

"My successor... The existence of an ancient monster who has lived for over a million years is incredible, but I believe in you."

Old Dragon's eyes were filled with lingering fear: "I thought it was some kind of curse left behind by the ancient immortals, which could be resolved once I reached the upper realm. I never imagined it would be so terrifying!"

Lin Ye said, "It seems you can't remove this lesion."

"Yes...Teaching Stream Group ∠: ㈧#℃㈤。〕㈦㈥㈥¤!㈢<¤㈣☆㈣㈡"

Old Dragon said sincerely, "Thank you for informing me!"

"Does fellow Daoist have a solution to this matter?"

Call me fellow Daoist...

It seems he already knows that I am not the Demon Prince at all—

Lin Ye said, "Don't forget, just like you said, Yuan Ting couldn't possibly possess an ascendant."

Cultivators cannot ascend by splitting their souls.

This is cheating!

If one ascends by splitting their soul, their soul will be completely severed—for example, if one of Yuan Ting's souls possessed the old demon emperor and ascended.

He would lose his connection with this remnant soul forever, which would be of no help to his plans and would instead weaken his power.

Yuan Ting wouldn't do that.

If, after possessing Yuan Ting's body, he were to force the old demon emperor to fail his tribulation, the old demon emperor's lifespan would soon be exhausted, and possessing his body would be of no use to Yuan Ting!

"It's obvious that he can't possess you. This lump of rotting flesh and the remnant soul hiding within it will definitely separate from you on their own when you undergo your tribulation."

Lin Ye said, "He will devour you and use you as nourishment, so there will be no hidden dangers."

The old demon emperor pondered, "There is some truth to that."

"Once Yuanting cuts this piece of rotten flesh apart, since you can't do anything to it now, you can use it when it's weakened—"

Lin Ye said in a deep voice, "They'll be completely at our mercy!"

The old demon emperor sighed, "It is extremely..."

Lin Ye said, "I'll help you kill him, but on one condition."

The old demon emperor said solemnly, "My successor, I owe you a tremendous debt of karma for this matter!"

Lin Ye said, "The time for the tribulation will be postponed, at least to twenty years from now. I need time."

Can you hold on?

You can't learn by being taught by people, but you can understand it immediately by being taught by experience.

Having spent a thousand years navigating the world, Lin Ye knew perfectly well that the next point in Yuan Ting's scheme against him lay with the old demon emperor who had handled the Tree of Cause and Effect!

If Lin Ye does nothing.

It is inevitable that when the old demon emperor ascends to immortality, Yuan Ting will somehow trick him.

At the very least, there's no way I'll get the inheritance.

If Lin Ye accepts the challenge, Yuan Ting will definitely set a trap.

Therefore, the game has already begun!

Yuan Ting already knew the power of the Nine Tribulations Sword tip.

The next time it appears, it will certainly exert even more force than the last time.

Furthermore, it's uncertain whether Yuan Ting will use the power of his soul or flesh and blood as his primary means of dealing with Lin Ye.

Lin Ye needs time to prepare and improve herself in all aspects.

If the old demon emperor is willing to cooperate, Lin Ye will definitely be able to enter the Lesser Nascent Soul stage when he undergoes tribulation again in twenty years, and he will be much more confident.

At that time, while Sha Yuanting is at rest, we can lend a hand to the old Demon Emperor and thus repay the karmic debt with Demon Emperor Mountain.

"this..."

The old demon emperor took a deep breath: "Nine hundred and fifteen years, this is all the lifespan I have left."

"However, now every day I spend in the mortal realm, I have to consume a lot of my lifespan to resist the erosion of my flesh."

"Fifteen years—my lifespan cannot last any longer; I must ascend to heaven in fifteen years!"

The old demon king asked nervously, "Can you still help me?"

Lin Ye fell silent.

In the original history, the time when the old demon king fished was later than now.

Sixteen years from now, it will be the time when the old demon emperor ascended to heaven in history.

That almost matches the fifteen years he mentioned.

It seems that in the original history, the old demon emperor was actually trying to solve the problem of rotting flesh, and persisted until the very last moment before undergoing tribulation and ascending to immortality.

But that's not enough time!

Lin Ye fell into deep thought.

Fifteen years is still too short!

Lin Ye's Giant God Golden Core is very large, which means that cultivating the Nascent Soul formed from the Giant God Golden Core to perfection is almost as difficult as a normal Nascent Soul cultivator upgrading from the first level to the ninth level.

Furthermore, with the need to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, twenty years is already a critical point.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Ye said, "It depends on the situation. I can't guarantee anything."

The old demon emperor was dazed for a moment, then said, "It should be so, it's alright..."

"Thank you for telling me the truth."

Lin Ye clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "Take care."

"Take care of yourself too."

"Lin Ye, many of the members of the Azure Dragon Sect on this mountain are my descendants. If you have the means, please help me protect them!"

Lin Ye nodded.

The old demon king transformed into a young man, picked up the bright moon, and threw it back to the straight tunnel it had come through from the array and mountains.

A realization flashed in the old demon king's eyes: "Dragons will never become extinct, never!"

......

The Celestial Court, a small world.

"Lin Ye, let's get acquainted, this is Xiao Tun!"

The Martial Emperor's true form brought Little Swallow from the Boundary Sea.

"Hello." Lin Ye looked up and gazed at the smooth, dark valley beneath her chest, as if he could completely penetrate it.

Her body was as tall as a pavilion in the celestial realm.

It's huge!

It was said to be in human form...

But it wasn't said that it's actually only the size of an average person!

A glint of light flashed in Lin Ye's eyes.

The perfection of his tenth Nascent Soul depends on Little Swallow.

Although Little Swallow is as tall as a building, her size is already extremely small among the Devouring Giants.

"Xiao Wu, where is this...who is he...?"

Xiao Tun yawned.

She seemed to have just woken up.

But just as she was yawning, she inhaled a breath of abundant spiritual energy from the Celestial Court's small world, suddenly smacked her lips, and opened her sleepy eyes.
