Chapter 4: The Appearance of Lin Bai
With the departure of the seven Pseudo-Saints, the Yaochi Residence finally enjoyed a moment of peace. Everyone knew that this tranquility would not last long, as even more powerful individuals were bound to appear soon.
Lin Feng looked at Master Da before him and felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity. There is an ancient saying that an elder brother is like a father. In Lin Feng's eyes, in this strange world, he regarded Master Da as a father figure.
"Senior Brother, this is Lin Miaomiao, and this is Wind Spirit; they are both my friends," Lin Feng introduced.
"Just friends?" Lin Miaomiao and Wind Spirit asked in unison, glaring at Lin Feng with mock anger.
Lin Feng chuckled, "They are also my wives."
"Now that's more like it," Lin Miaomiao said with a satisfied smile.
Master Da looked at Lin Miaomiao and then at Wind Spirit, nodding in approval. "Not bad."
"Senior Brother, what do you find commendable?" Lin Miaomiao pressed for clarification.
"Good-hearted, high cultivation, and both are divine bodies," Master Da replied.
Wind Spirit couldn't help but ask, "What about me?"
"Good-hearted, high cultivation, and also a divine body," Master Da answered.
"Ah, so we're the same?" Wind Spirit said with dissatisfaction.
"Miaomiao is a good girl; do you think you are any different from her?" Master Da countered.
"Same, heh heh," Wind Spirit replied.
A few people were joking and chatting casually. Lin Feng asked, "I don't quite understand. Why are the Ghost Sect and Demon Sect mobilizing their resources to attend the Peach Banquet, clearly looking for trouble with us?"
"They want to force out the essence of our human race. They want to know our true strength," Master Da replied.
An hour later, before anyone arrived, a terrifying aura surged forth, suffocating everyone.
"Haha, has a remarkable junior emerged from the human race?"
The unrestrained laughter echoed, shaking the air and traveling thousands of miles. Across the land of the Nine Provinces, most places heard this transcendent voice.
Two powerful figures descended. Their cultivation was profound, with Great Dao Rules resembling an unfathomable ocean, vast and boundless. After their arrival, they looked down upon everyone as if they were gods.
One of them continued to laugh heartily, his voice booming like thunder, causing pain to the eardrums. Without even glancing at the crowd, he coldly remarked, "Is this all the human race has to offer in terms of noteworthy juniors?"
All three were clad in Holy Armor, striding with an imposing presence.
"I've heard that Yunlu Xian Sect has experienced several apocalyptic events and is extremely mysterious," one said.
"Indeed, Yunlu Xian Sect is the only sect in the world associated with immortals," another added.
"This Imperial Artifact above is quite impressive; why not take a closer look?" the third suggested.
As the three entered, they walked around casually, conversing as if they were the true masters of Yunlu Xian Sect. After strolling around, they returned to Yaochi Residence and chose a larger stone table to sit down.
One said, "I think we should drive those fish and crabs away. Their presence lowers our status."
Another replied, "Are there actually weaklings from the Cave Profound Realm here in this scenic area?"
He walked straight up to Master Da, who was an Ancient Spirit Beast. A true perfected Sacred Body Foundation. He coldly looked at Master Da and asked, "Did you single-handedly defeat the Eight Pseudo-Saints?"
Master Da did not raise his head and replied, "Why ask if you already know? Are you bored?"
"Only you barely qualify to sit here. Get rid of the people beside you. They will never be worthy to stand on equal footing with us in their lifetimes," the Ancient Spirit Beast said indifferently.
"Oh? What would count as qualifying?" Master Da inquired.
"You humans will never have that qualification. Our foundation has awakened entirely in this lifetime, solely to become the rulers of this star and achieve great accomplishments," the Ancient Spirit Beast replied coldly.
Master Da calmly stated, "Is it because of a Tao Tie that hasn't even recovered yet that you are so confident?"
"You are too weak; leave early. I don't want to kill anyone just yet," the Ancient Spirit Beast said.
"But I want to. What should I do?"
Before Master Da finished speaking, he suddenly made his move, catching everyone off guard. The Sage Realm Ancient Spirit Beast immediately waved countless Great Dao Rules to defend.
Bang...
Master Da's strike was decisive. His momentum was unprecedentedly intense, suffocating. His fists transformed into the Desolate Tower once more, merging together to directly strike the head of the Ancient Spirit Beast.
Blood flew everywhere. A Sage fell just like that. Everyone was shocked into silence, unable to comprehend what had just happened.
Whoosh...
A red light suddenly rose, as the Blood Devouring Cauldron automatically revived. It absorbed the rain of blood and even took in the body of the Sage-level Ancient Spirit Beast.
He also rushed over, grinning and shouting at the Blood Devouring Cauldron, eager to obtain the body of the Ancient Spirit Beast.
Master Da sat down gently, hands clasped behind his back, and said, "Is there anyone who still thinks our position in the Divine Ruins is low?"
The two remaining Sages looked at Master Da in astonishment. The Sage from the Ghost Sect murmured, "He is not a Pseudo-Saint; he is a true Great Sage. Moreover, his path is different from the one we cultivate."
Thunderous Roar...
Suddenly, a violent rumble echoed through the air, slicing it into pieces. Countless vines flew in from the edges, almost enveloping the entire Yaochi Residence. They seemed to coalesce into a nest. A powerful aura emanated from within the vines.
"Azure Vine Saint Ancestor, you have finally awakened?" the Sage from the Ghost Sect spoke ominously.
One Sage fell, but instantly another Sage took their place. How could the Divine Ruins withstand this? While everyone was astonished by Master Da's strength, they also felt concern for the Divine Ruins.
Clang...
Suddenly, a sharp cry pierced the air, like a Sharp Sword being drawn. A massive sword flew in from the side and ultimately landed within the Yaochi Residence.
The giant sword's brilliance faded, transforming into a person clad in white, resembling an immortal descended from heaven.
"Master," Lin Feng exclaimed in surprise as he stood up.
"The Sword Saint? What is he doing here?"
"Great Sage Realm? When did Lin Bai's Foundation become so powerful that he became a true Sage?"
"Why is he with people from the Demon Sect, Ghost Sect, and Ancient Beast Clan? And now even the Azure Vine Ancestor from the Ancient Demon Clan has appeared."
“……”
The appearance of Lin Bai caused a stir. To protect the Tang Dynasty, Lin Bai had killed the Fire Master and another Battle Demon Lord. It was rumored that his physical body was destroyed and his Primordial Spirit captured. How could he be alive again now?
Lin Bai's aura clearly marked him as the strongest among the four Sages. Could Master Da defeat four Sages alone? No one knew the answer; everyone felt a sense of impending doom.
Dugu Po was also shocked. He lamented Lin Bai's death with great sorrow. Now seeing Lin Bai resurrected, he could hardly believe it. Even more unimaginable was that Lin Bai's Foundation had reached the perfected Sage Realm, far surpassing his own.
Master Da spoke up, “This person is no longer Lin Bai. The Ghost Sect has collected too many souls and used their clan's forbidden techniques to create a Sage.”
“Now I understand,” Dugu Po said, enlightened.
Lin Feng quietly clenched his fists, his eyes filled with murderous intent and anger. Lin Bai had shown him kindness, holding a revered place in his heart. Now he had been turned into a puppet.
“I swear that as long as the Ghost Sect exists, I, Lin Feng, will not live as a human,” Lin Feng vowed silently.
Wind Spirit looked at Lin Feng and quickly grasped his hand, saying, “Lin Feng, are you alright? Please don’t act impulsively.”
Lin Miaomiao stared at Lin Bai, also dazed and confused.
Lin Feng gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t worry about me, Ling’er. I will endure, until I become strong enough.”
The Azure Vine Holy Clan coldly remarked, “What are we discussing? Just kill them to see the true strength of humanity. Is this charade really necessary?”
“Indeed. There’s no need to delay any longer; we have already wasted too much time,” the Demon Sect Saint said.
With that, the four Sages soared into the ancient battlefield.
"Azure Vine Saint Ancestor said, 'Child, are you not coming in to die? It has been a long time since this old man has tasted such tender human blood from a Sage.'"
Master Da's expression was resolute as he stepped slowly into the ancient battlefield.
"Master of the Divine Ruins, going in alone is facing four opponents."
"The Four Great Perfected Saints are all on high alert, how can one possibly contend with them?"
"I support Master Da; he is capable of anything."
"How did the Sword Saint end up on their side?"
The four Sages stood at the four corners, surrounding Master Da in the center. Their cultivation energies spread out, casting a terrifying aura over the entire ancient battlefield.
In ancient times, it was rumored that a fully realized Sage had the qualifications to ascend. They could become immortal or cultivate into an emperor. A Sage was indeed a being of great stature.
Now, thousands of years had passed. These long-sealed Sages, each from different eras, had chosen to awaken in this lifetime with grand ambitions.
"Master Da, you can do it," Wind Spirit said nervously.
Lin Miaomiao asked, "Should I go in to help?"
Among the four, only Lin Miaomiao could truly provide assistance.
Dugu Po shook his head. "You three are the trump cards that can turn the tide; until you have fully grown, you cannot take risks. My senior brother is always confident in his actions."
Lin Feng's thoughts were still entangled with Lin Bai. He said, "Is it possible to save our master in this current state?"
"No," a melodious voice came from behind, as Mo Pinglan approached with Mo Xue.
Mo Pinglan said, "Lin Bai has now become a puppet. His spirit and soul have long been extinguished. His physical body and the Primordial Spirit he possesses are not his own."
"The puppets of the Sage Realm are incredibly powerful, to an unimaginable extent. They have no perception, no emotions," Mo Xue added.
Dugu Po looked resolute. "I believe my senior brother knows what to do."
"What should we do?" Mo Pinglan asked with interest.
Dugu Po replied, "Naturally, we must truly liberate Lin Bai."
"I see."
Mo Pinglan understood. They all turned their gaze toward the ancient battlefield, where the battle had already begun. The Four Great Perfected Saints were unleashing their full power to besiege Master Da.
Streams of rule power surged from the back mountain of Yunlu Xian Sect, merging into the ancient battlefield to prevent its collapse. (To be continued)
