Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

As he fell, the fiery clouds in the sky gradually dissipated.

"This? This is impossible, Master." Li Bai and the others watched as the charred man descended from the sky, and the fiery clouds dissipated, causing their expressions to change.

Li Bai and the others immediately flew towards the location where Tianyi Ancestor had fallen.

But just when they thought that Ancestor Tianyi had failed his tribulation, something unexpected happened. The dissipating fiery clouds were suddenly replaced by dark clouds, with thunder and lightning constantly attacking the charred body.

"Huh? It's not over yet." Li Bai and the others stopped in their tracks when they saw this.

After the lightning struck the charred body of the Heavenly Ancestor, each strike was like an iron hammer smashing against a rusty sword, gradually breaking through the outer layer of copper rust.

Cracks appeared continuously on the charred body of the Heavenly Ancestor, and a large amount of golden light emanated from the cracks.

Finally, a crack appeared in the dark clouds, and a beam of multicolored light struck the Heavenly Ancestor.

The body of the Heavenly Ancestor was charred and completely broken, and the dazzling golden light made it impossible for everyone to look directly at it, as if another sun had appeared in the sky.

A mature man's figure gradually appeared in the light. This should be the Heavenly Ancestor reshaping his physical body. Breaking through the Nirvana Secret Realm can result in a physical body reshaping.

It seems that Ancestor Tianyi has succeeded. Sure enough, his physical body has been completely condensed and formed. The white light also dissipated, and a handsome young man with black hair dressed in white walked out of the light.

"I've broken through! Ah! I never expected this. I, Tianyi, have finally broken through to a higher realm." The black-clad youth clenched his fist, feeling the breakthrough.

Not only did he break through his cultivation level, but he also turned back into a man.

"Haha, congratulations Master on your rebirth and breakthrough to the Saint realm!" Li Bai and the others hurriedly offered their congratulations.

Ancestor Tianyi laughed heartily, and just then, more cultivators from the Nirvana Secret Realm appeared, starting with the Southern King.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Tianyi," said the Southern King.

After the Southern King offered his congratulations, Dao Hua also offered his congratulations. Then, several cultivators of the same generation as Ancestor Tianyi who had broken through to the Five Elements Realm appeared to offer their congratulations.

Ancestor Tianyi was undoubtedly overjoyed at breaking through to a higher realm, and naturally kept returning the greetings.

The Taishang Ganying Sect suddenly became quite lively.

Soon, Ancestor Tianyi invited these Nirvana Realm cultivators to the main hall to entertain them. However, before he could enjoy his joy for long, Dao Hua said something that immediately silenced everyone in the Supreme Response Sect.

“Fellow Daoist Tianyi, now that you have broken through to the Nirvana Realm, I suggest you go to the Holy Land for further cultivation. There is no need for you to stay here in the Supreme Response Sect any longer,” Daohua said.

Dao Hua's words caused everyone's expressions to freeze.

The expressions of the Southern King and the others varied, and each of them revealed a strange look in their eyes. This was because they had all broken through their cultivation levels in the Nine Heavens Domain before returning to the Divine Continent. Since they were all under the control of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, it could be said that they all belonged to the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

But now, Ancestor Tianyi is relying on his own abilities and has not depended on the Nine Heavens Holy Land, so they think that Ancestor Tianyi probably has no intention of going to the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

As expected, after only a moment's hesitation, Ancestor Tianyi rejected Daohua's offer.

"Haha, the Holy Land doesn't need another mere Five Elements Realm cultivator like me. Besides, my Supreme Response Sect is currently fighting against the Five Poisons Sect, which has Nirvana Realm cultivators. I can't leave the sect at this critical moment. I hope the Holy Land can understand," said Ancestor Tianyi politely.

Dao Hua raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, clearly displeased. In the past, Tianyi Ancestor would never have refused; if you didn't go to the Nine Heavens Holy Land, you wouldn't have been given a chance to break through to the Nirvana Realm.

"Oh, I see. That makes sense, hahaha." Daohua chuckled.

He was a Nirvana cultivator directly under the Nine Heavens Holy Land, while the others could only be considered subordinates.

After quickly finishing entertaining these Nirvana Realm experts and seeing them off, Ancestor Tianyi spoke with Li Bai and the others.

"Master, since you refused the Holy Land's invitation, won't Dao Hua go around gossiping about it?" Li Bai asked with a frown after the outsiders left.

"Who knows? But now that the Nine Heavens Domain has returned to the Divine Continent, even if they are dissatisfied, they shouldn't be as domineering as before. We should just try to avoid offending them," Ancestor Tianyi replied.

Everyone nodded, but the atmosphere was still quite serious. Li Bai's next words almost made Tianyi furious.

"Oh dear, breaking through to a higher realm is a good thing, but Master, why did you turn back into a man? You were much more pleasing to the eye as that little loli."

As soon as he said that, Tianyi Ancestor, who had just finished drinking a sip of spiritual tea, immediately spat it out.

The elders and peak masters around them were also amused by Li Bai's words and burst into laughter.

Ye Liuyun, who was sitting with Lin Aoxue, couldn't help but laugh out loud in his heart.

"Sect Leader Li, as expected of you, you still dare to say such things? Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up?"

Tianyi Patriarch glared at Li Bai.

"You'd better shut your mouth, or I won't be able to resist giving you a lesson in respecting your teacher," threatened Ancestor Tianyi.

Li Bai chuckled.

The breakthrough of the Supreme Response Sect's Ancestor Tianyi into the Nirvana Realm is arguably the biggest event that has occurred in the Nine Heavens Domain recently.

The major powers in the other regions were filled with envy and resentment, because this meant that the Supreme Response Sect was no longer on the same level as them.

As for the Nine Heavens Holy Land, they didn't cause any trouble. After all, it wasn't the right time, and they didn't have the ability to cause trouble. They had a lot of things to do on their own and didn't have time to deal with the Supreme Response Sect.

That evening, Lin Aoxue came to Tianyi Ancestor's place alone.

"Grandmaster," Lin Aoxue greeted.

Ancestor Tianyi nodded.

"What's wrong? Is there something you need from me?"

After thinking for a moment, Lin Aoxue decided to explain her background.

"Grandmaster, I would like to ask if there is anything in this Demon Suppression Prison that I am unaware of?" Lin Aoxue asked.

Ancestor Tianyi's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing this.

"Who told you that there are things you don't know about in the Demon Suppression Prison?" Ancestor Tianyi asked.

Lin Aoxue thought for a moment, and then decided to keep it a secret.

"Grandmaster, just tell me, is it true or not? Someone did tell me to go to the Demon Suppression Prison to take a look," Lin Aoxue said.

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Tianyi stared at Lin Aoxue's face for a while, but in the end she let out a heavy sigh.

"Alright! You'll find out about this sooner or later anyway. Come on, I'll take you to the Demon Suppression Prison to see what you want to see." Ancestor Tianyi actually wanted to personally take Lin Aoxue to the Demon Suppression Prison.

A moment later, the Demon-Suppressing Prison, where the Taishang Ganying Sect imprisons heretical and evil people, was established.

This Demon Suppression Prison is a mountain surrounded by multiple formations. The mountain looks like a pagoda and contains many caves, but these caves are all sealed by powerful seals.

As soon as Ancestor Tianyi and Lin Aoxue arrived at the Demon Suppression Prison, a series of mocking voices immediately emanated from inside.

"Isn't this Old Ghost Tianyi? I never expected that you would break through to the Nirvana Realm. Old Ancestor Tianyi, did you come here to show off your breakthrough?"

Tianyi Patriarch ignored these guys and instead led Lin Aoxue to the deepest part of the Demon Suppression Prison.

Deep inside lies a large door, which is sealed by an even more powerful seal.

After the two arrived, Elder Tianyi raised his hand and touched the seal on the door. The seal on the door was completely broken in the next moment.

After the seal was broken, the gate gradually opened, and a somewhat eerie aura seeped out from inside.

But that's not all. The moment the door opened, a pair of scarlet eyes opened in the darkness.

"Senior Brother Tianyu, I've come to see you," Ancestor Tianyi said to the person inside.

Soon, an extremely old voice came from inside.

"Oh, it's Junior Brother Tianyi. I'm certainly happy to see you, but why did you bring an outsider?" The aged voice asked with a hint of weariness.

"This little girl is no outsider. You'd better suppress your demonic thoughts. If you hurt her later, you'll regret it," Ancestor Tianyi joked.

The person inside, named Tianyu, was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath. Suddenly, the darkness inside the gate gradually receded, revealing that the darkness was a force.

As the power was withdrawn, the area inside the gate immediately became bright.

Only then did Ancestor Tianyi look at Lin Aoxue.

“Let’s go, you should meet him,” Ancestor Tianyi suggested.

Lin Aoxue followed Tianyi Ancestor inside with a curious gaze, and the door closed again after they entered.

As for the scene inside, it's actually a fairly spacious and bright stone chamber. However, there is an extremely old man in the stone chamber, who is bound to an array by golden chains.

Judging from this person's cultivation level, he actually possesses the cultivation of the ninth level of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

"I didn't expect you to break through to the Nirvana Realm. Not bad, not bad. I thought you couldn't get rid of your obsession. It seems you've overcome this hurdle." The old man, whose appearance was unclear, said with a smile.

Ancestor Tianyi smiled slightly.

"It's all thanks to this child's appearance that the hurdle in my heart has become easier to overcome," said Ancestor Tianyi.

"Oh, this little girl, could she be your grand-disciple whom you praised so highly?" The old man named Tianyu asked Lin Aoxue curiously.

Ancestor Tianyi nodded, then smiled mysteriously.

“Senior Brother Tianyu, this little girl is no ordinary person. She possesses rare and unparalleled cultivation talent, and is destined to become an immortal in the future. You and I certainly can’t compare to her,” Ancestor Tianyi joked.

It seems that this isn't the first time Ancestor Tianyi has been here.

Having said that, Ancestor Tianyi stopped keeping everyone in suspense.

“Aoxue, he is the person you want to meet, the father of your Lin family ancestor Lin Junxian, Tianyu,” the Tianyi Ancestor introduced solemnly.

Lin Aoxue was stunned when she heard this, and an incredulous expression appeared on her face. She did not expect that the Divine Child of Tianfeng from back then was still alive.

Chapter 548: Cause and Effect (5000 words)

Of course, the most important issue is not whether the Divine Child of Tianren Peak is still alive, but that the person in front of us is Lin Junxian's father, one of Lin Aoxue's ancestors, and the most senior ancestor currently alive.

It is probably very close to 4000 years old, or even more than 4000 years old. The exact age of the person in front of us is still unknown.

Tianyu instantly understood what Tianyi Ancestor said. He looked at Lin Aoxue with disbelief and then asked with a shocked expression.

"This... Junior Brother Tianyi, is this child a descendant of Jun Xian?"

Ancestor Tianyi smiled slightly and then nodded.

When did Tianyi Patriarch find out that Lin Aoxue was a descendant of Lin Junxian? To be honest, it's hard to say whether Lin Aoxue was incredibly bold or not. She told Li Bai first, and then Li Bai told Tianyi Patriarch.

Li Bai was from the same hometown as them, from Earth. In addition, Li Bai was a man of strong character, worthy of Lin Aoxue's trust.

Furthermore, Lin Aoxue had no desire to bear the grudges from a thousand years ago, but she needed to understand the cause and effect of this matter.

However, to her surprise, after learning of her identity, the Heavenly Ancestor did not show any hostility, but instead treated Lin Aoxue with the same favor as an elder.

Ancestor Tianyi has always felt guilty towards Lin Tianya for not protecting his son. Now that a top genius has emerged among his descendants, she naturally wants to do everything in her power to protect him.

Lin Aoxue also glanced at Tianyi Ancestor first, and Tianyi Ancestor nodded to her in return.

After confirming the other party's identity, Lin Aoxue stepped forward and knelt down in front of the person.

"Lin Aoxue, a junior member of the Lin family, pays respects to our ancestors." Lin Aoxue solemnly performed a deep bow.

Not everyone is qualified to make Lin Aoxue kneel, but the person in front of her, as the earliest known ancestor of the Lin family, deserves Lin Aoxue's bow.

The Heavenly Decree was equally shocked. After a moment of stunned silence, he burst into laughter.

"Haha... I never expected that I, Lin Tianya, would have descendants still alive, and such an outstanding one at that! Hahaha... Heaven has not forsaken me, Lin Tianya!" Tianyu laughed wildly.

Tianyu was Lin Tianya's Taoist name in the Taishang Ganying Sect.

After he finished speaking, he immediately gestured for Lin Aoxue to get up.

"Child, get up quickly. Tell me, how many descendants of the Lin family are still alive? How many generations have passed since my son's generation?" Lin Tianya had thought that his lineage would end after his son's death, but he never expected that there would still be descendants alive.

For someone who is in despair, this is certainly an unexpected surprise and a glimmer of hope.

Lin Tianya's condition was clearly problematic. Through his messy hair, one could see a pair of scarlet eyes. Coupled with the eerie atmosphere that had permeated the prison earlier and the words of the Heavenly Ancestor that he would suppress his demonic thoughts, this was a clear indication of his condition.

This suggests that Lin Tianya may have other problems.

Lin Aoxue quickly explained the situation of the Lin family. When Lin Tianya heard that their family's lineage was still intact, he was completely relieved.

"That's good, that's good. But I'm very curious, how did you know that your Lin family is my descendant?" Lin Tianya asked curiously.

Lin Aoxue immediately told Lin Tianya about her meeting with Lin Junxian.

After listening, Lin Tianya was stunned. He knew that his son had died, and he had been grieving for a long time back then.

"Is that so? Then it can only be said to be fate. Alas! That child told us back then to live a good life, but alas!" Lin Tianya sighed repeatedly.

Lin Aoxue quickly looked at Ancestor Tianyi. Although she didn't ask, her eyes clearly asked what was going on.

Without saying a word, Ancestor Tianyi recounted what happened back then.

"Back then, your ancestor, Senior Brother Tianyu, fought against the elders of the sect to save his wife. As you can guess, he was no match for the entire sect. To protect her child and Senior Brother Tianyu, his wife chose to commit suicide."

"At that time, the sect had no choice. In those days, the Holy Land would exterminate all cultivators from other paths. The Holy Land sent supervisors, and my sister-in-law had no way out. After she committed suicide, Senior Brother Tianyu suddenly went into a state of exposure. He did not hesitate to use forbidden techniques to enhance his power, but at the same time, he also went into a state of madness and was controlled by his inner demons."

"Even so, Senior Brother Tianyu was still suppressed by the elders of the sect and imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Prison. Then the sect expelled all the cultivators of Tianren Peak and forced them to leave the Supreme Response Sect with Senior Brother Tianyu's child and go to the Southern Region to establish the Heavenly Sect. This is what happened."
