### Chapter 2781 — The Gathering
Yang Lin calmly looked at the many cultivators who were gathering around the Transcendence forest.
Many cultivators had created temporary cultivation pavilions outside the forest.
Some were meditating.
Some were discussing cultivation.
Some were waiting for their disciples.
Some were waiting for their juniors to return from the Transcendence forest.
Yang Lin calmly watched everything.
Then—
his gaze fell upon two Immortal Emperor Realm Supreme Peak cultivators.
The two cultivators were sitting together.
In front of them—
two Immortal King Realm disciples were listening carefully.
One of the masters calmly explained,
"Time and space are not something you should simply understand."
"They are something you must eventually learn to remove."
The other master calmly continued,
"Once you remove their meaning from yourself, you can still move through them."
"You can go backward through eras."
"You can go forward through eras."
"With a single thought."
The two Immortal King Realm disciples listened carefully.
Their expressions were serious.
They were still far too early to understand such profound concepts.
Even their two masters knew this.
This level of understanding was far beyond what Immortal King Realm cultivators should normally comprehend.
Yet—
they still patiently taught them.
Suddenly—
the two Immortal Emperor Realm Supreme Peak cultivators froze.
Their expressions changed.
Both of them slowly looked toward Yang Lin.
Yang Lin was calmly looking at them.
His gaze was peaceful.
But the two masters immediately became nervous.
They quickly lowered their gazes.
Yang Lin calmly looked away.
Then—
his gaze moved toward another direction.
Nearby—
an Immortal Sovereign Realm Late Stage Peak genius was fighting several Immortal beasts.
The Immortal beasts had just rushed out of the Transcendence forest.
The genius calmly fought them.
Immortal light continuously flashed.
The battle was intense.
Yang Lin calmly watched.
Then—
more figures began appearing.
Many Quasar Immortal Emperor Realm Early Stage geniuses came out of the Transcendence forest.
Their faces were filled with victorious expressions.
They had clearly killed many Immortal beasts.
However—
there was no arrogance on their faces.
No pride.
No contempt.
Only the pure happiness of victory.
They had successfully completed their training.
Then—
one of them suddenly looked toward Yang Lin.
The others also noticed him.
Their expressions immediately changed.
They felt as if they could not move.
It was not because Yang Lin had restricted them.
Yang Lin had done nothing.
It was simply because—
they felt that Yang Lin's cultivation was far too profound.
They quickly looked away.
Yang Lin calmly continued watching them.
Then—
he continued lying on the Jade Transcendence rock.

### Chapter 2782 — The Jade Mountain
Many cultivators continued gathering around the Transcendence forest.
Temporary cultivation pavilions had appeared throughout the surrounding area.
Some were made from Immortal jade.
Some were created from rare Transcendence materials.
Some cultivators simply sat beneath ancient trees.
Yang Lin calmly remained on the Jade Transcendence rock.
Someone approached him.
But after walking several steps—
that cultivator hesitated.
He looked toward Yang Lin.
Then—
he chose not to approach.
He quietly turned around and left.
Yang Lin calmly looked toward the surrounding cultivators.
There were cultivators from many different Ancient Immortal forces.
Some were powerful.
Some were young geniuses.
Some were elders.
Some were rogue cultivators.
Yang Lin calmly looked toward the Transcendence forest.
Then—
he said,
"This Transcendence forest is an absurdly huge forest."
"It restricts anyone above the Immortal Emperor Realm Supreme Peak from entering."
Yang Lin calmly drank his tea.
His voice was not loud.
Yet several nearby cultivators heard him.
Their expressions became serious.
Some looked toward the Transcendence forest.
Others looked toward Yang Lin.
They had already heard his title.
**Lord of Nothingness.**
But—
they still knew very little about him.
Yang Lin calmly continued drinking tea.

### Chapter 2783 — Two Young Geniuses
Two young men soon arrived.
They came from two different Ancient Immortal sects.
One belonged to the Dao Supreme Sect.
His name was **Dao Chen**.
The other also belonged to the Dao Supreme Sect's allied Ancient Immortal force.
His name was **Mo Tianyu**.
Both young men carried no arrogance.
There was no prestige around them.
There was no hostile intent.
They simply walked forward.
As they passed through the countless cultivators—
many people glanced toward them.
The two young men were both geniuses at the Quasar Immortal Emperor Realm Mid Stage Peak.
Their cultivation was extremely powerful among the younger generation.
They did not stop.
They calmly walked toward the entrance of the Transcendence forest.
Then—
both entered.
The surrounding cultivators watched them.
Some quietly discussed them.
Others continued waiting.
Time slowly passed.
Eventually—
two figures emerged from the Transcendence forest.
It was Dao Chen and Mo Tianyu.
Both were heavily wounded.
Their clothes were damaged.
Their bodies were covered with injuries.
Yet—
both of them were smiling.
Dao Chen looked toward Mo Tianyu.
"We finally took that beast."
Mo Tianyu smiled.
"Yes."
"We finally did it."
The two young men looked extremely happy.
They had succeeded.
Then—
they suddenly noticed something.
Both slowly turned their heads.
Yang Lin was looking at them.
His expression was completely calm.
The two young geniuses froze.

### Chapter 2784 — Senior Nonsense
Dao Chen and Mo Tianyu looked toward Yang Lin.
Their expressions became serious.
They had heard about the mysterious cultivator outside the Transcendence forest.
They also knew his title.
**Lord of Nothingness.**
However—
they had never spoken to him.
Dao Chen quietly looked at Yang Lin.
Mo Tianyu also looked toward him.
Yang Lin calmly said,
"Well."
"These two are indeed..."
He did not finish his sentence.
Dao Chen and Mo Tianyu exchanged a glance.
Then—
both walked toward Yang Lin.
The surrounding cultivators immediately became interested.
Many of them looked toward the two young geniuses.
Several Immortal Emperor Realm Late Stage Peak cultivators nearby quietly sighed.
They seemed to understand that Dao Chen and Mo Tianyu were about to interact with the mysterious Lord of Nothingness.
The two young men reached Yang Lin.
They respectfully cupped their hands.
"Senior."
Yang Lin calmly sat up.
Then—
he looked toward them.
"Senior nonsense."
The surrounding cultivators became speechless.
Their expressions became strange.
Dao Chen was also stunned.
Mo Tianyu became speechless.
The nearby cultivators looked at Yang Lin.
Then—
they looked at the two geniuses.
Nobody knew what to say.
Dao Chen quickly cupped his hands again.
"Sorry for disturbing your rest, Senior."
Yang Lin calmly replied,
"No bad."
The two young men became slightly confused.
Then—
Dao Chen and Mo Tianyu respectfully cupped their hands.
"Thank you, Senior."
"Sorry."
They immediately turned around.
Then—
they quickly left.
The surrounding cultivators watched them leave.
Yang Lin calmly looked toward their backs.
"Well."
"Interesting."

### Chapter 2785 — The Ice Pillar
Yang Lin calmly looked toward the Transcendence forest.
Deep inside the forest—
there was something unusual.
A massive ice pillar stood there.
It was so high that its top could not be seen.
It seemed to reach directly into the Heavens.
The ice pillar had **10,000 floors**.
Every single floor was enormous.
Each floor was almost like an entire Lower Realm.
The scale was completely unimaginable.
Even hidden Dao Severing Realm cultivators could not sense the existence of the ice pillar.
Even Transcendence Realm Late Stage cultivators could not detect it.
It was as though the entire structure had been hidden from the perception of the Lower Realm.
Yang Lin calmly looked toward it.
His gaze passed through the vast distance.
He clearly saw the 10,000 floors.
"Interesting."
He paused.
"But whatever."
Yang Lin calmly drank his tea.
Around the ice pillar tower—
there were many similar towers.
However—
almost all of them had already collapsed.
Some were broken.
Some were shattered.
Some had become ruins.
Only this ice pillar tower remained standing.
Yang Lin calmly observed everything.
The ancient Transcendence forest remained silent around it.

### Chapter 2786 — The Tenthousandth Floor
Yang Lin's gaze slowly moved upward.
At the very top of the ice pillar tower—
the roof of the 10,000th floor—
a woman was standing there.
She quietly stood in the sky.
Her appearance was calm and cold.
In her hand—
she held an ice sword.
The sword was extremely unusual.
Its blade was completely crystalline.
It seemed to be forged from the deepest ice of the Heavens from the Immortal Realm.
But what made it terrifying—
was the Qi contained within it.
It possessed a type of pure Qi that was even more profound than Transcendence Qi.
The surrounding Transcendence Qi seemed insignificant before it.
Even the purest Transcendence Qi appeared like nothing.
The woman quietly held the sword.
Her expression was cold.
She stood at the top of the massive ice pillar tower.
Yang Lin calmly looked toward her sword.
Then—
he said to himself,
"Not a bad sword."
"It's just an Immortal Realm treasure."
"Nothing much."
Yang Lin calmly drank his tea.
The woman was also from the Immortal Realm.
She had descended on to the Lower Realm.
However—
her cultivation wasn't restricted within the ice pillar tower.
If she left the tower—
her power would immediately be suppressed by the Immortal Realm's Heavenly Law.
Yang Lin calmly looked at the enormous tower.
Yang Lin calmly watched.

### Chapter 2787 — The Descended Woman
The woman remained standing on the 10,000th floor.
Her ice sword remained in her hand.
She did not move.
The pure Qi surrounding the sword continued spreading.
Yet—
it did not leave the ice pillar tower.
The entire tower seemed to suppress her existence.
Yang Lin calmly looked at her.
He could clearly see that she was from the Immortal Realm.
He could also clearly see the restrictions placed upon her.
The Immortal Realm's Heavenly Law was suppressing her.
As long as she remained inside the ice pillar tower—
she could maintain her current power.
But if she left—
her power would be suppressed.
Yang Lin calmly rested on the Jade Transcendence rock.
He continued drinking tea.
He did not care much.
The woman also did not notice Yang Lin.
Yang Lin calmly looked toward the tower again.
The surrounding cultivators continued moving around the Transcendence forest.
Nobody knew what was hidden deep inside.
Nobody knew about the 10,000 floors.
Nobody knew about the woman standing at the top.
Yang Lin calmly watched.

### Chapter 2788 — Five Billion Light Years
The ice pillar tower remained motionless.
Five billion light years wide at the top.
Its center gradually narrowed upward.
The highest point disappeared into the distant Heavens.
Around it—
the ancient towers had already become ruins.
Only the ice pillar remained.
Yang Lin calmly observed it.
His expression remained unchanged.
For other cultivators—
such a structure would be impossible to comprehend.
Even powerful Transcendence Realm cultivators could not sense it.
Yet—
to Yang Lin—
it was simply there.
He could see every floor.
He could see the woman.
He could see the sword.
He could see the restrictions placed upon her.
Nothing about it was new to Yang Lin.
Yang Lin calmly drank his tea.
Then—
he looked toward the top of the tower.
The woman remained standing there.
Yang Lin calmly said,
"Well."
"She is not going to come out."
He paused.
"That's better."
---
### Chapter 2789 — If She Is an Enemy
Yang Lin calmly looked toward the woman.
She remained inside the ice pillar tower.
Her ice sword was still in her hand.
The pure Qi surrounding the sword continued quietly flowing.
Yang Lin calmly looked at her.
"If she is an enemy..."
He paused.
His expression remained calm.
"Then I'll..."
Yang Lin did not finish the sentence.
He simply drank his tea.
If she was not an enemy—
then there was nothing to worry about.
Yang Lin calmly looked toward the Transcendence forest.
The countless cultivators outside continued doing their own things.
Some were training.
Some were waiting.
Some were searching for treasures.
Some were teaching their disciples.
Nobody knew that a massive ice pillar tower existed deep inside the forest.
Nobody knew that a woman from the Immortal Realm was standing at its highest floor.
And nobody knew that Yang Lin had already seen everything.
Yang Lin calmly smiled.
"Never mind."
---
### Chapter 2790 — Nothing Much
Yang Lin calmly continued lying on the Jade Transcendence rock.
The Transcendence forest remained peaceful.
Countless cultivators continued entering and leaving.
Temporary cultivation pavilions stood outside.
Immortal lights illuminated the surrounding mountains.
Yang Lin calmly drank his tea.
His gaze occasionally moved toward the depths of the forest.
The massive ice pillar tower remained there.
The woman remained on the 10,000th floor.
The ice sword remained on her hand.
Everything was peaceful for now.
Yang Lin calmly looked toward the distant Heavens.
Then—
he calmly said,
"Interesting."
He took another sip of tea.
"But it's nothing much."
The surrounding cultivators continued cultivating.
Nobody noticed anything unusual.
Yang Lin calmly closed his eyes then slept
The Lord of Nothingness remained quietly resting beside the Transcendence forest.
Meanwhile—
deep inside the forest—
the woman continued standing on the roof of the 10,000th floor.
Her ice sword quietly reflected the light of the Heavens.
The ancient ice pillar tower remained completely silent.
And Yang Lin—
Slept for awhile.
