My Daoist partner helps me cultivate immortality

But if we really can't persuade them, we might as well take a gamble!

Emperor Yan was confident that at the very least, he could retreat to the Great World of the Universe, but he would have to give up a lot of things.

She and Lin Ye have been getting along better lately, and during a tea party, she revealed that she stayed in the four continents to collect the extraordinary fire of this era.

That makes perfect sense. Lin Ye discovered that the strange fire of the matriarchal era had one more type than that of later generations!

Although there is only one more type, there are still differences. This additional type of strange fire can enhance the strength of Emperor Yan's origin. According to Emperor Yan's idea, it would be best to search the entire Strange Fire Ranking!

That would be equivalent to her devouring another ball of imperial flame.

Although the improvement to Emperor Yan may not be as significant as that on the Dao Son Ranking, it is still quite close.

As for why she didn't make it onto the list of Daoist prodigies, Di Yan said it wasn't that she didn't want to, but that she unexpectedly lost the opportunity.

When she was still a flame, she was already equivalent to a Tribulation Transcending cultivator. After transforming into human form, she has exceeded the highest limit for being listed on the Daoist Ranking—the first level of Tribulation Transcending.

When Di Yan first took human form, she originally planned to suppress her cultivation to the Mahayana stage so that she could have the opportunity to be listed on the Dao Child Ranking. However, she encountered a very strange Zhulong Clan cultivator who wanted to refine her, which prevented her from successfully suppressing her cultivation and caused her to miss the Dao Child Ranking.

Lin Ye had a bad feeling when he heard this, but Di Yan didn't know the details of the Candle Dragon Clan...

Despite a poor start, Di Yan's mental state is actually quite stable now.

Lin Ye quietly gathered information. Di Yan said that the reason she focused her attention on the universe was for revenge—yes, the ancient emperor who killed her had long been lurking in the forbidden zone of living beings even in this era.

Di Yan also explained to Lin Ye the importance of the position of Universal Emperor, and said that he had no interest in becoming Universal Emperor, and would ascend to heaven after taking revenge!

At least that's what Emperor Yan himself said.

Lin Ye thought that Di Yan had always been quite straightforward. She could pretend in front of Lin Ye, but Zu Dan's understanding of her could not be fake.

This shows that her personality is indeed like that. It seems that Emperor Yan is probably not very interested in the Emperor's position this time.

Lin Ye recalled Di Yan's tireless efforts to deceive the leader, the White Emperor, and him into going to the Universal World...

No wonder she was so eager to take people to the Great World of the Universe; it was simply to have more allies when it came to revenge!

Generally speaking, although they are slightly different in cultivation level, they are still considered peers. Cultivators who are interested in competing for a higher position would not want to create a strong competitor for themselves.

Just as Lin Ye began his weapon-refining work for the day, Di Yan noticed the unusually large amount of materials he had taken out and couldn't help but ask, "You're using so many materials today, what kind of immortal artifact are you making?"

Recently, Di Yan also witnessed Lin Ye's unusually large appetite...

He actually took so many kickbacks, and he's quite the glutton! I also saw his exquisite yet powerful weapon-forging process. His spiritual energy was inexhaustible, which was not only beyond the imagination of ordinary cultivators, but also very fast in Di Yan's eyes.

Anyone who understands Lin Ye's level will look at him with higher regard. Di Yan noticed that the number of immortal artifact fragments Lin Ye took out this time was even more than when he reforged the Furnace of All Things, which was quite an exaggerated amount.

Lin Ye said with a smile, "This is a crystal armor specially made for you. It's similar to the immortal artifact that I wear. It's the most difficult type to make."

"Afterwards, we will make an exact replica for the White Emperor, so that you can act as substitutes for each other and confuse the enemy."

After a moment's thought, Di Yan generously agreed, "Then give her a flame, so she can impersonate me when needed!"

"I will give you and Bai Huang each a Di Yan Zi Huo, but I have to wait until I have collected all the other rare flames, otherwise it will cause too much damage to my origin," Di Yan added.

"My sister is so generous!"

Emperor Yan had been struggling with the question of who should receive his sub-fire.

When he adopted his goddaughter, he had already planned to give her to Bai Huang, but later he discovered that Lin Ye was also very skilled with fire.

Upon hearing Lin Ye's words, Di Yan was deeply moved. Having her and Bai Huang act as substitutes for each other? Indeed, it was a good idea. This method might not be necessary, but it was a precaution.

But at least Bai Huang needs to have at least one Di Yan Zi Huo to make it seem real. Di Yan believes that Lin Ye already knew he was thinking about who to give the Zi Huo to, and today he took the initiative to back down.

That won't do. Let's do it this way, one for each of us!

Once we've gathered all the rare flames of this era, it'll be equivalent to having two imperial flames. So, splitting them into two smaller flames won't be a problem!

However, Di Yan needs to gather all the materials first, allowing her origin to evolve, and then split into two balls of fire in one go. This way, her period of weakness will be the shortest.

However, this seemed like he was stalling, as if he wanted to get the immortal artifact first... Di Yan explained this to Lin Ye in detail.

"Sister, I understand!"

Di Yan chuckled and said admiringly, "By the way, you actually made that immortal armor yourself! I thought it was some kind of ancient immortal king artifact that had been covered in dust and turned into this..."

"To be precise, I was one of the people who reforged it, and many great weapon refiners participated in the forging," Lin Ye said.

"you are too humble!"

"It's not modesty, it's just the truth." Lin Ye shook his head slightly. The Immortal Ancient Structure had undergone a reconstruction led by him, but its foundation did not deviate too far from Chu Lian'er's blueprint.

Including the crystal armor [Burning Heaven] that Jiu Linye is currently refining for Di Yan, which is also the blueprint that he urgently created with Chu Lian'er and Gongshu Yan after obtaining the body data of Di Yan.

Then the three were surprised to find that Bai Huang and Di Yan had subtle similarities in their physical data, and even their physiques were similarly thin.

They could use the same type of crystal armor, with only minor adjustments, even so.

The drawings are dozens of pages long, so Lin Ye will be in charge of overseeing the practical part.

Chu Lian'er contributed the most to the drawing of the blueprints, after all, she was a great expert in weapon forging theory!

However, having just given birth and worked overtime to finish the blueprints, Chu Lian'er was finally able to rest, but she immediately went into seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

She possessed a physique that allowed her to cultivate only when she was in dual cultivation with Lin Ye, making cultivation extremely difficult. Finally, she reached the point of breaking through.

Chu Lian'er is still a virgin, so she has to find other ways to cultivate together; it's quite pitiful...

Lin Ye thought that after Chu Lian'er completed her breakthrough, he would spend some time with her and then take her to work in charge of the high-end weapon refining industry in the matriarchal era.

During the Dark Ages, Lin Ye recruited many disciples with talent in weapon crafting through the reorganized Meteor Fire Sect.

His disciples are now gradually beginning to shine, becoming leaders in the weapon-refining industry of the entire Dark Age, as well as part of the dynasty's principles and a jewel in Lin Ye's crown.

This is very profitable. This strategy can be replicated in a matriarchal society. First, bring in top-notch players with excellent weapon-refining skills to build a research institute, and then gradually absorb talented natives.

Chu Lian'er can serve as the director of the research institute, responsible for some top-level design, and gradually expand to a scale as large as the Star Alliance's highest research institute.

According to the twenty-tier official system currently used by Lin Ye (the higher the number, the higher the official rank), the highest research institute director can reach the thirteenth tier, in charge of weapon forging affairs for an entire era, which is a very high position.

Di Yan liked Lin Ye's humility in not taking credit, and the flames she had transformed into leaped and throbbed with joy: "Is that so! Then, can the immortal artifact you forged this time approach the level of that immortal artifact?"

Lin Ye shook his head and said, "It is irreplaceable, so I can't guarantee it, but I can guarantee that your gift is stronger than any immortal artifact you've ever used."

Di Yan was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Then I'll look forward to it without being polite!"

While they were refining the weapon, the two talked about the White Emperor again.

Lin Ye asked curiously, "Does your sister know how long she'll be in seclusion? It's hard to guess how long a special cultivator like her will take to break through using ordinary breakthrough times!"

Di Yan smiled and said, "She said within two years, I estimate within one year. However, during this seclusion, Bai Huang will also undergo a 'rebirth'."

Lin Ye nodded.

He learned during a casual conversation with Bai Huang that Nirvana is a power of the phoenix, which consumes 500 years of lifespan to allow its body to undergo a transformation.

The White Emperor is an immortal being on earth, possessing theoretically limitless life force, but the lifespan that his cultivators were supposed to gain when they broke through still remains.

That is a completely independent life force from the Immortal Source. For example, Lin Ye can still use the Endless Qi Refining Technique when breaking through.

However, without a particularly suitable method of utilization, it can at most be used as a one-time means of increasing combat power. Moreover, not everyone has a huge life bar like Lin Ye, so it is not very meaningful for most ascendants.

However, Lin Ye has the Endless Qi Refining Method, and Bai Huang also has the unique "Nirvana" of the Phoenix bloodline, which can be used to consume her extra 60,000 to 70,000 years of lifespan.

Lin Ye compared the Endless Qi Refining Method with her Nirvana and found that Nirvana was quite efficient. However, if one had a massive lifespan like Lin Ye, the Endless Qi Refining Method would still have a greater advantage. The number of Qi Refining levels would also lead to a qualitative change from a quantitative change.

For example, right now, Lin Ye is just one step away from the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage. After breaking through, his Qi Refining level can be raised to 100,000 levels... Just hearing that makes you realize how terrifying that is!

Bai Huang will need to remain in seclusion for less than a year. When she emerges, the external environment around Lin Ye will become more dangerous... Lin Ye, however, feels that this will be beneficial for his relationship with the child.

Di Yan and Lin Ye discussed his concerns about Yuan Ting: "He's very strong..."

Lin Ye nodded: "The current external environment is not very good for us! Only by fighting fiercely can we have more room for development."

"As a result, the human, witch, and demon races all chickened out!"

“Yes, the Witch Clan even tacitly allows Yuan Ting to openly steal the orthodox sect and establish a puppet force. What kind of behavior is this? Lin Ye, please let me help you!” Di Yan said helplessly.

Lin Ye said seriously, "Focus on helping me refine weapons first."

Now, due to the immense pressure brought by Yuan Ting, a hot potato, the outside world has shifted from encircling and suppressing Yuan Ting's avatars to retreating.

Could the strong at this stage defeat Yuan Ting? Yes! If all parties unite and Yuan Ting doesn't increase his bargaining chips, Lin Ye can make an optimistic assessment.

Unfortunately, unity is not so easy. With the Tribulation Transcending experts shrinking back like this, the three races will immediately shift the pressure onto Lin Ye, wanting him to bleed as well!

However, Lin Ye is in a special position, and the three clans cannot do anything to him directly for the time being.

The demon and witch races were wary of his identity, and the human race's power was scattered...

Moreover, the human race's high-ranking officials actually treated Lin Ye quite kindly.

Shortly after Lin Ye announced his succession to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, several major human powers sent envoys to offer congratulatory gifts, showing a very positive attitude.

After the Wu Clan and the Demon Clan made peace, if their attention hadn't been drawn to Yuan Ting, the two clans would probably be giving the human race a good beating right now!

Now the conflict has shifted to Yuan Ting, which is quite fortunate...

Lin Ye's original plan was to wait until the Little Martial Emperor was six years old before dealing with Yuan Ting, but now, not to mention the pressure from the three clans, the key issue is that Yuan Ting will also make moves, trying to force Lin Ye to come out and make contact with him!

It's unlikely that this will last until the bad luck period is over.

Since that's the case, Lin Ye will wait for Yuan Ting to make his move.

I'll give him a ruthless blow then, and then return to the Myriad Immortals Alliance under the pretext of being injured to lie low. When I make contact with Yuan Ting, it's better to be ruthless than frequent. I should inflict a severe blow on him as soon as we meet. This strategy is the best.

Now that the strangulation between the three races has eased, Yuanting has openly announced the occupation of several major powers!

The puppet forces he established had a decent number of people and were of good quality, which made Lin Ye a little envious. Eliminating Yuan Ting would be a perfect reason to annex them.

Yuan Ting always liked to assume he was in control of the situation. He should have prepared an escape route, meaning that if he were defeated by Lin Ye, he could hide among these forces and infiltrate Lin Ye's territory...

With the Heavenly Dao Law in hand, Yuan Ting's conspiracy is clearly doomed to fail!

Lin Ye reiterated his confidence to Di Yan, who appeared worried.

Lin Ye had clearly planned ahead. When the situation became more serious and Di Yan thought he was playing hard to get and wanted her to make a move, he would personally take action against Yuan Ting!

While Lin Ye and Di Yan were refining their weapons, the leaders of the major human powers gathered together through illusion magic for a meeting that could determine the fate of humanity.

"We are in danger."

The emperor of the Jiuli Immortal Dynasty said in a deep voice, "Not only is the power loose and weak, but the key is that both the Wu and Yao races have human blood mixed in. In a sense, only our human race is most likely to unify the continent."

"If the Lich and Demon races have a spare moment, they may strike us hard, even after Yuanting is destroyed!"

"We only have one option: to take advantage of the chaos caused by Yuan Ting to deplete the strength of the Lich and Demon races as much as possible."

The sect leader of the Hehuan Sect was stunned. He stood up and said, "No, there is another option! Killing Lin Ye will break the alliance between the Witch and Demon races!"

Several powerful figures present laughed upon hearing this. The Emperor of Jiuli looked at the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect with a leisurely air and said, "How do you plan to break through the protection of the demon race? How do you plan to deal with the wrath of the witch and demon races? This is simply unrealistic!"

Emperor Xia laughed and said, "The Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals welcomes any ally."

The sect leader of the Hehuan Sect couldn't help but say indignantly, "Don't push your luck!"

The sect leader of the Hehuan Sect was furious! Lin Ye was clearly so ambitious, yet everyone else was just laughing at them!

Emperor Xia even openly plundered the Hehuan Sect on his behalf! The Hehuan Sect Master stared at Emperor Xia with eyes full of anger.

The Xia Emperor sneered.

Clearly, all sides of the human race are aware of Lin Ye's special status, and it is probably difficult for him to be truly defeated. At worst, he is the husband and successor of some great demon or great witch. There is no need to antagonize him for the sake of the Hehuan Sect!

The fate of the Hehuan Sect was sealed. No matter what stance they took, no one explicitly expressed their support, and the sect leader's expression grew increasingly grim.

"Alright, don't forget we're meeting because of the threat to Yuan Ting."

The sect leader of the Nine Sects, the Myriad Paths Sect, a short male cultivator with an upright appearance, said loudly: "Since we must fight against external enemies together, but cannot abandon our core territory, we need a long-distance teleportation technology!"

Emperor Xia nodded and said, "After Immortal Lin took charge of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, he quickly established a long-range teleportation array in the Xia Kingdom."

"We should jointly send representatives to the Myriad Immortals Alliance to curry favor and seek to acquire this technology..."

The sect leader of the Hehuan Sect, having reached his limit, said, "If you dare to do this, I will unfreeze the killing weapon left to us by our ancestors and completely wipe the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance from the Yao Guang Continent!"

Chapter 524 The Demon Race Also Wants to Become Human Emperors (Part 2)

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xia immediately demanded that the Hehuan Sect publicly reveal the details of their so-called "ultimate weapons" to all the human powerhouses attending the conference, and use them under supervision to deal with Yuan Ting! Or to contribute to the rise of the human race, rather than to fight Lin Ye to the death!

"If you can do that, Immortal Lin will naturally not make things difficult for the Joyful Union Sect."

Emperor Xia spoke firmly and forcefully. When the Hehuan Sect Master refuted him, Emperor Xia criticized the Hehuan Sect Master's selfishness, and the Hehuan Sect Master's face became even more gloomy.

Upon hearing this, the sect leader of Wandao Sect thoughtfully examined Emperor Xia.

The fact that the Hehuan Sect Master could utter such arrogant words shocked everyone. Did the Hehuan Sect really possess a powerful weapon capable of destroying the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?
