The Tai Sheng Art. Lin Yi instantly recognized the scope of the cultivation scripture. It was a terrifying, all-encompassing system that allowed a practitioner to cultivate three avenues simultaneously: Soul, Physique, and Energy. It guaranteed that the soul would remain unstained by the cycle of reincarnation and cause and effect, the body would break the fundamental limitations of time and space, and the Dantian energy would allow the creation of Great Thousand Worlds, granting the power of fate and destiny. The art was divided into three grand stages, each subdivided into three thousand minute levels… a path fundamentally and completely different from his current method.
The Chaos Spirit Lotus Platform immediately integrated itself into his spiritual memory. It was an ultimate soul treasure, a platform woven from the primordial energy of chaos and the purest spiritual essence, designed to anchor and protect the soul against any force, a treasure that is equal to his Yin and Yang Chaos Qinglian in comparison.
Finally, the Reincarnation Heart. Lin Yi's internal voice was frigid with realization. This was the ultimate, primordial source of power. It allowed a practitioner to ascend to the Reincarnation Realm, and even the formidable Half-Ancestor Realm, without encountering any bottleneck. However, the description accompanying the million-fold return came with a chilling caveat: this heart must be absorbed at the stage of life and death to accelerate the process of reincarnation and life essence rebirth.
'The Nirvana Heart she grasped is merely a remnant of the Nirvana Stage, only capable of facilitating the first Nirvana Tribulation after Manifestation Realm,' Lin Yi mused, his internal analysis cold and absolute. 'The Reincarnation Heart is a treasure of a completely different order, far above the Nirvana level.'
He reopened his red eyes, the profound, subtle light within them now containing the terrifying knowledge of true supreme power. The three returns had not immediately changed his current cultivation… His focus was still firmly on the returns from Lin Dong… but they had given him the complete blueprint for his eventual path to true, boundless supremacy.
His gaze returned to Ling Qingzhu, who had already consumed the nirvana heart and absorbed the nirvana qi inside it.
Next moment, Ling Qingzhu's crystal-clear pupils snapped open, radiating a disoriented intensity. A terrifying, berserk, and utterly unbalanced Yin and Yang energy immediately coursed through her meridians. The sheer magnitude of the clashing energies sent a visible tremor through her glacial blue robes.
Simultaneously, a faint, flickering soul projection rose from the colossal, stone-carved coffin resting behind Lin Yi. It was the spectral image of the Nirvana Expert, a kindly-looking, elderly man whose expression was one of profound, mischief.
The soul glanced at Lin Yi, then turned toward the visibly distressed Ling Qingzhu. "Welcome, little girl, and welcome, young man," the soul spoke, his voice playful. His gaze settled on Qingzhu, who was frantically suppressing the wildly destructive energy within her.
"I have been using the law of Yin and Yang all my life," the Nirvana Expert continued, a faint, rueful smile touching his spectral lips. "After my death, I left the final essence of that law within the Nirvana Heart. Little girl, you made a grave mistake. You should not have absorbed this Nirvana Heart without a partner to balance the Yin and Yang."
He then glanced meaningfully at Lin Yi, his playful smile broadening with a distinct, unsettling implication. "However, you are lucky, little girl. A perfectly balanced partner is already present for you."
"Shameless scoundrel!" Ling Qingzhu cursed, a rare, furious venom coloring her melodious voice as she instantly grasped the full import of his words. The berserk Yin and Yang energy, now fully active, began to surge past her defenses, subtly clouding her supreme mental clarity. Despite her efforts, her mind was being affected. Her crystal eyes, now tinged with a volatile red, darted hesitantly toward Lin Yi's figure.
Lin Yi merely sighed, a sound of profound speechlessness at the sheer predictability of the situation. "It seems, you want my help." he spoke looking at her, then his red eyes fixed on the floating soul projection above the coffin. "Before that, let me deal with this peeper."
He raised his hand and waved it toward the soul,
With a speed that defied the laws of physics, a tiny, exquisite blue-gray lotus petal… the first petal of the Chaos Spirit Lotus… shot from his fingertip.
"Young man, what are you do… Arghhhh"
It pierced the Nirvana Expert's soul projection before he could finish his sentence, which erupted with a final, agonizing, silent roar before dissolving entirely into motes of light. The ancient pervert was eradicated instantly.
The sudden, brutal display of power instantly extinguished the volatile idea that had just flashed through Ling Qingzhu's mind… the desperate, primal thought of forcibly attacking Lin Yi and extracting his vital Yang energy to survive. The sight of a Nirvana Expert's soul being destroyed so casually by him was a chilling, absolute deterrent.
Lin Yi rose smoothly from his cross-legged position and then walked toward her. "No one can calculate me, I plan everything myself" he stated, his voice flat and cold, his red eyes unwavering. "And I certainly do not want an old pervert watching what is about to happen."
Ling Qingzhu's face flushed a deep, violent crimson beneath the translucent veil, and her breath caught in her throat. The berserk energy was now making her body tremble, and her composure was rapidly dissolving as she watched his slow, inexorable steps toward her.
"Y-your excellency, please help me… i will compensate." Qingzhu whispered while releasing a warm breath of air.
Lin Yi stopped directly in front of her. He raised his hand, his touch cool against her heated skin, and gently cupped her chin, raising her head until her eyes were forced to meet his blazing red gaze.
"Didn't I warn you just now? Also, why are you talking about compensation again and again." he whispered, his voice dangerously low.
Ling Qingzhu's entire figure trembled violently, her crystal pupils blurring with a mix of shock, raging energy, and a dawning sense of inevitability.
Lin Yi smiled, removing his mask with his other hand, revealing the curve of his lips hidden beneath the mask. He leaned closer and whispered, "Don't worry. Although this is unexpected for you, I will be fully responsible."
The next moment, he sealed her lips, preventing the wave of chaotic Yuan Power that threatened to spill from her throat. At the same instant, Ling Qingzhu's final shred of reason was completely lost to the storm of unbalanced energy.
A massive, ethereal blue-gray lotus materialized around them, instantly enclosing their figures. Slowly with a rustling sound, the clothes receded from their bodies. Ling Qingzhu, lost to her primal instincts, immediately fell into a frenzy looking at perfect muscles, Lin Yi also appreciated the perfectly sculpted naked figure of the epic beauty. After a brief, calculated caress, as he saw the berserk energy in her body almost on the verge of a fatal explosion, their figures combined.
A sound of blissful, restrained ecstasy spread through the colossal hall. The lotus petals enclosed their figures one by one, sealing the intimate moment.
At the same time, a heavy, purified surge of Nirvana Qi spread toward the surrounding area, along with the mix tribulation fluctuation spread outside the tomb ready to aiming the lotus platform, the destructive energy shaking the entire stone hall or even the whole tomb structure, but next moment, the whole dangerous fluctuation disappeared, the breakthrough was concealed by the chaos spirit lotus, while keeping the blissful activity within its bounds.
