Zhong Qiu said, "That should be the case, but there are no absolutes in this world. Being unable to breakthrough in the Eternal True Realm doesn't necessarily mean that you can't breakthrough elsewhere.

"For example, First Senior Brother headed to the Kunlun Dominion for his breakthrough. You can do the same in the future, Junior Brother."

Lin Xun nodded. He was currently one step away from certifying the Eternal Stage. However, the precipitation of his cultivation was still far from sufficient. Only after completely refining the Nirvana law would he begin to consider finding an opportunity to certify eternity.

Zhong Qiu hurriedly departed that same day.

Now alone, Lin Xun fell into deep thought. If the epochal calamity descended, this epoch was certain to face its destruction. At that time, the most dreaded Five Dao Decays would also descend, and no one would be able to escape regardless of their cultivation level.

Before the epochal calamity, the biggest fear for all Eternal Stage existences was undoubtedly the Great Silence Unlife Calamity, which could strike at any moment! Due to this, the Eternal Divine Clans of the Ninth Heaven Domain couldn’t afford to be worried about anything else. They already had their hands full preparing for these calamities.

On a related note, the Kunlun Dominion had become a place where the clouds and wind were converging. It was because only in the Kunlun Dominion could one vie for the opportunity to cross over to the All-Wonder Dominion, thus avoiding the threat of the Great Silence Unlife Calamity.

At present, the Will Dharma Forms of the Master of Fangchun Mountain, the Golden Cicada, Kong Jue, and the Origin Sect's Taixuan, Yan Ji, and You Beihai had all left for the Kunlun Dominion. It wouldn't be long before the Fangchun Mountain disciples would arrive there as well.

If Lin Xun's guess was correct, the Shaman Sect and the Zen Sect were likely making similar preparations. I can’t delay any longer...

After a long time, he took a deep breath and made a decision.

......

In the subsequent period, Lin Xun became extremely busy. He was so busy that he brought out all five dao bodies to assist him, allowing him to focus on his own cultivation while dealing with several other matters.

The Red Flame Dao Body quietly left for the Sixth Heaven Domain with the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron. The Green Wood Dao Body guided Tang Jiang in her cultivation. The White Metal Dao Body went to the Origin Emptiness Pavilion's Scripture Mountain, where many ancient texts with records related to the epochal calamity could be found. The Black Water Dao Body traveled to visit Fang Daoping.

After trampling the Ten Immortal Giants, he had emptied out all of the cultivation resources and wealth they had accumulated over countless years. Lin Xun gathered the cultivation resources that weren’t useful to him and decided to leave them to Fang Daoping. In this way, the entire Origin Sect could benefit.

After all, the wealth accumulated by any one of the Immortal Giants was enough to drive any faction crazy, let alone the wealth of all Ten Immortal Giants.

The Yellow Earth Dao Body together with the true body began to refine the collected law power! Among the Ten Immortal Giants, five possessed rare ninth grade Heaven Rank laws, while the other five possessed normal ninth grade Heaven Rank laws.

Of course, that didn’t mean Immortal Giants like the Wang Clan and the Fu Clan only had rare ninth grade Heaven Rank laws. They naturally also possessed numerous normal ninth grade Heaven Rank laws as well.

Likewise, Immortal Giants like the Zhong Clan and the Jing Clan without rare ninth grade Heaven Rank laws also owned an extremely high number of other Heaven Rank laws.

Apart from the five rare ninth grade Heaven Rank laws, Lin Xun had collected as many as eighty-nine ninth grade Heaven Rank laws from the Ten Immortal Giants! This meant that each Immortal Giant possessed nearly a dozen ninth grade Heaven Rank laws on average! These numbers alone showed how strong the Ten Immortal Giants had been.

For instance, while there were quite a number of Immortal Imperial Clans in the Seventh Heaven Domain which possessed ninth grade Heaven Rank laws, their foundations couldn’t be compared to Immortal Giants like the Jing Clan and the Zhong Clan.

It wasn’t just due to the overwhelming difference in ninth grade Heaven Rank laws, but ultimately because each of them was backed by an Eternal Divine Clan! This was the sole reason which allowed them to stand proudly in the Eighth Heaven Domain and look down on the rest of the world.

Of the eighty-nine ninth grade Heaven Rank laws, Lin Xun kept twenty and passed the rest to the Black Water Dao Body to be handed over to Fang Daoping. As for the five rare ninth grade Heaven Rank laws, he intended to completely refine them!

They were the Wang Clan's Tree of Dao Judgment, the Fu Clan's Four Spirits Divine Lake, the Donghuang Clan's Nine Changing Spaces, the Zhongli Clan's Samadhi Pure Fire, and the Qi Clan's Silencing True Water. These five rare Heaven Rank laws naturally possessed law spirits.

In the past, Lin Xun would have been reluctant to refine such top-tier treasures, but couldn’t afford to have such concerns at the moment.

The truth was that the Nirvana law had only twenty percent of its power left, which was essentially the core of its power. It was extremely laborious to refine, and any progress was exceedingly slow.

From his estimate, if his true body and five dao bodies refined it together at maximum output, they likely won’t be able to finish even after fifty years. Therefore, he intended to first refine the five rare law powers. In this way, the power of his own Immortal law would greatly increase, allowing him to more effectively refine the Nirvana law later on.

Gurgle~

Amidst a surge of dazzling law power fluctuations, the Wang Clan's Tree of Dao Judgement was brought out and handed over to the Yellow Earth Dao Body to be refined. Meanwhile, the main body took out the Fu Clan’s Four Spirits Divine Lake and began to refine it.

......

Three days later.

The Red Flame Dao Body returned to the Origin Sect with Luo Qingxun, Lin Wenjing, Lu Boya and the rest of the Luo clansmen. Of course, Peng Tianxiang and the Peng clansmen were also included.

That day, Lin Xun’s true body specially came out to have a gathering with his parents, Mister Lu, and other relatives. It was a joyous event where everyone happily chatted and drank. From that day onwards, the two great clans, the Luo Clan and the Peng Clan, settled in the Origin Sect, allowing him to resolve one of his worries.

After returning, the Red Flame Dao Body joined the Yellow Earth Dao Body in aiding the main body to refine law power. Aside from the Green Wood Dao Body, who was guiding Tang Jiang on a daily basis, other trivial matters were left to the Black Water and White Metal Dao Bodies.

Time quickly flew by and half a year passed. Over these six months, many changes occurred within the Origin Sect.

From among the disciples of the Nine Peaks, many new immortal path experts sprung up like springtime bamboo shoots after the rain, while the Heavenly Longevity Stage cultivators swiftly progressed toward the Nirvana Spirit Stage...

It was especially pleasing that several of the older perfect Nirvana Spirit Stage experts managed to achieve breakthroughs and step into the Transcendence Stage.

Such rapid cultivation progress was possible because Fang Daoping had distributed the spoils Lin Xun had collected from the Ten Immortal Giants. Now that they had abundant cultivation resources, the Origin Sect cultivators were easily able to achieve breakthroughs.

Naturally, Xuan Feiling, Dugu Yong, and Fang Daoping were overwhelmed with joy. Of course, they also understood that such growth within half a year was only possible because of Lin Xun!

Meanwhile, in the cave haven, Lin Xun's aura rumbled loudly as his Immortal Halo rose and sank behind him, forming a mysterious lotus-flower-like pattern. The pattern slowly revolved, mirroring the mysterious wheel of samsara.

It was as if the lotus flower pattern was a world of reincarnation, in which life and death alternated along with destruction and nirvana, producing a cryptic and mysterious aura. As he withdrew his aura, these scenes immediately dissipated without a trace.

"Next, it's time to refine the remaining twenty percent of the Nirvana law!" Lin Xun deeply exhaled a breath of turbid air.

It had taken half a year for him to completely refine the five rare ninth grade Heaven Rank law powers and integrate them into his Immortal law, allowing it to become more powerful than ever before.

If it wasn't for the lack of the Nirvana law core power, his Immortal law would already be indistinguishable from the Nirvana law!

"The Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron should be further refined next as well." Lin Xun pondered.

The current Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron was already unrivaled, and far surpassed any ordinary Immortal dao weapon. However, he felt that there was still a great deal of room for improvement.

In fact, the countless divine materials he had scavenged from the Ten Immortal Giants alone would already be able to raise the power of the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron by a large margin.

"Master!" A spirited voice rang out from outside the cave, followed almost immediately by the figure of his disciple, Tang Jiang. She joyfully exclaimed, "Your disciple has reached the Supreme Emperor Stage!"

Lin Xun chuckled. "Not bad, not bad at all."

After half a year of instruction, the perfect Quasi-Emperor Stage Tang Jiang had finally ascended to the Supreme Emperor Stage today.

Unsurprised, Lin Xun said, "After reaching this realm, you’ll have to seek out your future path for yourself. All I can do now is share some cultivation insights of the Emperor Stage, which you may draw from but must never copy completely. Otherwise, you’ll only be delaying your own cultivation journey."

Tang Jiang nodded vigorously.

"Go then, since you’ve just ascended, you should first properly consolidate your cultivation. From now on, you will go to the Origin Sky Pavilion to train. Only through trials and tribulations will you be able to learn where you’re lacking and work to fill those deficiencies."

"Master..." Waves of reluctance surged in Tang Jiang's heart. She had stayed at his side for the past half a year, and received guidance from the Green Wood Dao Body round the clock. In her leisure time, she would even get to enjoy the delicious food he cooked. In her heart, she had long regarded Lin Xun as a father, and naturally did not want to leave.

"It's not like you won't see me again, why the long face?"

Lin Xun smiled. "A young eagle will eventually spread its wings and roam the nine heavens. Although your cultivation has reached the Supreme Emperor Stage, your flaws are also very obvious. That is, you lack experience, especially in regards to the world outside. In the future, you should take on more missions from the sect to gain more experiences. It will be nothing but beneficial to you."

Tang Jiang took a deep breath and earnestly said, "Yes, I'll still visit Master from time to time in the future."

At the sight of her departing figure, Lin Xun can't help but think of his disciple, Su Bai, who he had taken in when he was in the Ancient Wasteland Domain. He wondered what level this disciple of his had reached now...

"Once the Nirvana law is fully refined, I will set off for the Ancient Nebula Road." Lin Xun made a decision.

From that day onwards, he once again went into seclusion, oblivious to the passage of time as he focused all of his efforts into refining the Nirvana law.

Xia Zhi continued to accompany him. Despite having not exchanged a single word, and always staying in the cave dwelling, she didn’t feel the least bit bored. Over the years, that was how she had always been. After all, the world of her heart only had space for Lin Xun alone.
