Chapter 70 The Ninefold Seal of Shangqing!
Jin'ao Island, deep within the Biyou Palace.
Purple mists swirled, and the chanting of Buddhist hymns echoed endlessly.
There was less than a day left until the "forced return" that was due in a year.
Inside the Jingxu Hall, starlight flowed, as if one were in the boundless primordial universe.
Lin Yuan wore a long black robe, and his dark hair was casually tied up with a simple wooden hairpin.
He concealed all his sharpness, showing no arrogance whatsoever as a great demon at the Dao Integration Realm. He sat quietly cross-legged below the Tongtian Sect Master, just like an ordinary scholar.
The higher Lin Yuan's cultivation level, the more composed and reserved his temperament became.
On this chessboard filled with gods and Buddhas, "survival of the fittest" and "steadiness" are the only truths to stay alive.
Those who become arrogant and conceited after a few strokes of luck will ultimately be reduced to ashes.
"Yuan'er."
On the Biyou bed, the Tongtian Sect Leader slowly opened his eyes, and a gentle light flashed in those eyes that could see through countless ages.
"Judging by the time, the 'parallel timeline' of your realm is about to intersect and overlap with this world. You should set off back."
Lin Yuan took a deep breath, clasped his hands together, and respectfully kowtowed.
"This disciple expresses his gratitude to Master for his teachings and guidance over the past six months. Without Master's protection, this disciple would likely have already turned into a handful of dust in this great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods."
The Tongtian Sect Leader smiled slightly, and with a gentle wave of his whisk, a soft, refreshing aura lifted Lin Yuan up.
"We are master and disciple, why should we need such empty formalities?"
"Your return to Blue Star this time carries the mantle of my Jie Sect. You will go to that uncivilized land to establish a sect. The task is arduous and the road is long."
The Master of Heaven paused, looking at Lin Yuan: "However, I see a hint of worry hidden between your brows? Is there still some hesitation about the road home?"
Lin Yuan nodded, revealing all the worries that had been weighing on his heart without any concealment.
"Master, you are wise to see that I have a very important matter weighing on my mind, like a fishbone stuck in my throat."
Lin Yuan's expression became extremely solemn, and his brows furrowed.
"When I first descended to this world, I was nothing more than a bird with no cultivation. But now, thanks to my master's great kindness, I have reached the late stage of the Dao Integration Realm, and have forged an unparalleled Dao Body that harmonizes water and fire, and condensed the Great Sun Golden Crow Dharma Image."
"Such vast magical power is naturally nothing in this primordial world. But..."
"My home planet, Blue Star, is nothing more than a spiritually barren, Dharma-ending world. The spatial barriers there are as fragile as a sheet of paper!"
"If I were to descend into this parallel timeline without any reservations, could that fragile blue planet truly withstand my Golden Crow true form?"
Upon hearing these words, a look of intense admiration flashed in the eyes of the Tongtian Sect Leader!
"Excellent, what foresight! What prudence and caution!"
The Master of the Heavenly Sect burst into laughter, stroking his beard repeatedly.
"If an ordinary cultivator were to gain power and enter the Dao Integration Realm, he would probably be thinking about how to return home in glory and how to lord it over and show off his power in the mortal world."
"And you, possessing unparalleled magical power, remain humble and unperturbed, never blinded by your power, always maintaining such modesty and humility. You can even foresee the potential disasters of higher dimensions descending upon lower dimensions."
"Yuan'er, with just this steadfast Dao heart, you are worthy of being the ninth direct disciple of my Jie Sect!"
The Master of Heaven spared no praise.
A true cultivator should be like Lin Yuan, gentle and refined, concealing his sharpness and keeping a low profile.
"Your concerns are not unfounded."
The Master of Heaven's smile vanished, his expression turning solemn. He slowly extended his right hand, palm facing upward.
"Buzz—"
A fragmented jade disc, imbued with the laws of the Three Thousand Great Daos and radiating a soft white light, appeared out of thin air in the starry sky above the main hall.
The Jade Disc of Creation!
The Master of Heaven pointed his fingers like a sword, and a drop of crystal-clear sage essence dripped into the jade dish.
"Splash..."
The Jade Disc of Creation burst forth with dazzling divine light, and the starry sky within the hall began to rotate and recombine rapidly.
In a short while, a blue star field projection appeared in front of Lin Yuan.
That was the hometown that Lin Yuan longed for—Blue Star!
"Yuan'er, look carefully."
The Master of Heaven pointed to the blue planet.
"The 'parallel timeline' of your world is currently rubbing against the void currents in the chaos. Although a wave of spiritual energy revival has begun, it is only in its primitive, early stages."
"As you said, the spatial barriers there are incredibly fragile."
The Master of Heaven waved his sleeve, zooming in on the image.
"Let me give you an analogy. The Earth today is like an ordinary glass cup, with a very small capacity and extremely fragile."
"And your current cultivation level at the late stage of the Dao Integration Realm, along with your supreme Dao Body that harmonizes water and fire, once you cross the boundary..."
"You are a pot of boiling molten iron!"
boom!
Lin Yuan felt a boom in his mind and instantly understood what the Tongtian Sect Master meant.
The glass theory!
"If boiling molten iron is poured directly into a fragile glass without any restraint, there is only one outcome..."
Lin Yuan's face turned deathly pale instantly, and his voice trembled slightly.
"The cup will shatter?!"
"good!"
The Tongtian Sect Leader nodded solemnly.
"It's more than just an explosion."
"If your true form were to descend, the vast Dao Integration Realm power and high-dimensional Dao principles within you would instantly shatter the existing spiritual energy balance of Blue Star."
"The already sparse spiritual energy of Earth will instantly become chaotic due to the pressure from this high dimension. It might even be drawn by the water-fire yin-yang diagram within your body, forming a world-destroying spiritual energy storm that will forcibly converge on your location!"
The Tongtian Sect Leader pointed to the Chinese land projected on the screen.
"At that time, you won't even need to lift a finger. The extraordinary celestial phenomena caused by your arrival alone will cause the entire Chinese landmass to tear apart, triggering an unprecedented magnitude 10 earthquake."
"The waters of the East Sea will also flow backward due to the pull of the Dragon Pearl's origin, unleashing a colossal tsunami that will engulf everything!"
"The catastrophe brought about by this kind of dimensional reduction attack is enough to wipe out hundreds of millions of lives in an instant!"
Cold sweat instantly soaked Lin Yuan's back.
He clenched his fists tightly, a flicker of fear crossing his eyes.
so close!
Fortunately, I acted prudently and was not blinded by the joy of my impending return. Instead, I was cautious and consulted my master about the matter.
Otherwise, his joyful "return home in glory" would instantly turn into a "catastrophic disaster" that he would personally destroy his homeland.
He went back to preach and teach, and to establish a branch of the Jie Sect, not to become a world-destroying demon god!
"Master!"
Lin Yuan knelt down in the starry sky with a thud, his gaze earnest.
"The land of China is the homeland to which disciples are connected by blood, and it is also the foundation upon which our Jie Sect will spread its teachings and impart knowledge on Earth in the future. We must not allow it to be lost."
"I beg my master to have mercy and grant me a way to break this curse. I would rather give up all my cultivation than become a sinner who brings disaster to my homeland!"
Seeing Lin Yuan's sincere gaze, the Tongtian Sect Leader was greatly comforted and quickly reached out to help him up.
"Foolish child, you are a direct disciple of my Jie Sect. How could I, your master, allow you to squander the cultivation you have painstakingly cultivated?"
The Master of Heaven smiled arrogantly.
"The issue of mere spatial barriers is insignificant before a sage!"
"Blue Star is one of the future missionary sites of my Jie Sect, and therefore the foundation of my Shangqing lineage. Today, I will personally forge a seal for you!"
