C1332 It Turns out to be You

Growing up in the wilderness, although he had suffered a lot, he had also trained Lin Bai in his ability to run by hand.

Although Mount Zhong was bumpy, it was as flat as a flat plain beneath Lin Bai's feet. The steep, rocky terrain was simply no obstacle to his advance. Especially now that his martial arts had advanced to the Nascent Realm, the speed of his blood qi had increased by more than twofold. His feet moved like a rabbit, and he looked like a falcon, creating a series of shadows.

As Lin Bai ran, the colorful cocoon formed by the Qi of the five elements continued to thin at a speed visible to the naked eye. Lin Bai's originally blurry face became clearer and clearer because of the colorful glow.

The World Tree was extraordinary. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been the only path that connected him to the Immortal World. The cultivation base of a true master was also extremely high. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to place so many bets behind Lin Bai's back without him noticing.

The combination of the mystical Jianmu and the profound and profound true master, how could the engulfing aura radiate from them be so easily broken? Even though the five elements were the foundation of heaven and earth, to completely seal off this devouring aura with an aura that was comparable to the five elements was undoubtedly a pipe dream.

Thus, in reality, Lin Bai was very clear that in this first clash, although on the surface, it seemed that he had seized the initiative and gained the upper hand, in reality, the initiative was still in the hands of the true master. Whether he could take the initiative out of his hands would depend on whether he could reach the true master before the cocoon formed by the five elements shattered!

As long as he could get there, he would be able to obstruct the true master from controlling the energy devouring machine, devouring life force, feeding himself, and delaying the opening of the gate of immortality. If he couldn't, he would have to get entangled with the energy devouring machine and fall into a passive situation.

The closer he got to the deep pool above the Black Hell, the fiercer the devouring energy became. Even with the protection of the light cocoon, Lin Bai still felt the life force in his body being torn apart as it tried to escape.

Furthermore, the aura grew increasingly intense, causing the colorful light emitted by the cocoon to continuously dim. In the end, there was only a thin layer left to defend against the invasion of the devouring aura. The guardian, Lin Bai, was unable to control his vitality.

As the cocoon melted, only a thin layer remained. It was like a multicolored soap bubble that would burst open if the wind blew lightly.

This was the central area of the mountain, and also the location where the World Tree had taken root. Especially under the cover of the bloody Qi emitted by the World Tree, the surroundings were like a demon realm, filled with a scarlet mist that gave off a creepy feeling, as if there was an unparalleled attraction within the mist. As long as one touched it lightly, they would devour the God of Life.

Under the reflection of the bloody aura, the water in the deep pool became increasingly thick and profound. Above the pool, there were even more bloody mist floating about. This deep pool looked like it was connected to the endless abyss of hell.

The place that was completely covered by the engulfed aura became a land of death. There was no light, no sound, and the wind and snow were unreachable. It was as if all signs of life had disappeared from here.

Ka-cha! * At this moment, Lin Bai heard a sound like a bubble popping outside of his body. Under this endless pressure of devouring energy, even though the cocoon formed by the five elements was mystical, it was still unable to resist the pressure.

Fortunately, before the light cocoon shattered, Lin Bai finally stepped into the core area and saw the true master.

Without any hesitation, Lin Bai held the book in his hand and released waves of light, sealing off his own Qi and isolating the power of his Qi Devouring. He then quickly walked towards the figure sitting cross-legged beside the pond.

In this land of death, nothing existed. Apart from a true master, who else could sit cross-legged here?

Although Lin Bai had interacted with the true master countless times in his heart, through his mental tribulation and illusions, from start to finish, he had never seen this person's face clearly, nor did he know who he really was.

The smoke cage from the past, all sorts of conjectures from the past, were finally going to come to fruition at this moment. This made Lin Bai a bit excited.

The closer he got to the True Master, the more Lin Bai felt an immense pressure pressing down on him. This was not the pressure from heaven and earth, nor was it the pressure from devouring energy.

But for some reason, the closer he got to the Master, the more familiar the spiritual pressure felt. It was as if he had met it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember exactly where it was.

"So it's you!" After taking a few steps forward, the figure of a true master was finally revealed to Lin Bai. As he stared at that figure, Lin Bai's pupils involuntarily shrunk. After a long while, a bitter smile appeared on his face as he slowly spoke.

The white flowers on the blue base, the clothes with the lettering of numerous bundles of words of life, other than the dead who had been buried in the grave, no one else would wear them on their bodies. From his debut until now, there was only one person that Lin Bai had ever seen wearing such clothes.

He was the mysterious old man who had met him in a taxi when they were on their way to save Xiao Wei. He had also told him about the secrets of the Dharma Idol and had analyzed the three stages of Soul Formation, Human, Heaven Surveying, and Soul Formation for him!

Lin Bai had never thought that the true master he had been looking for would actually be this mysterious old man! Although he had doubts in his heart regarding this old man's identity, every time he recalled the scene of the mysterious old man giving him a hand to resolve his doubts, it made him dispel that thought, thinking that the mysterious old man was just a hidden expert.

A person who had once taught him how to clear the greatest doubt in his heart and pointed fingers at him was actually his greatest enemy in the end. This was a variable that Lin Bai had never thought of!

But when he thought about it carefully, it seemed like Dan Zhen and Zhao Jing Ting had both told him that the true master only treated him as a pig. The reason he did not do anything to him was because he wanted to be fatter, and when his entire body was covered with fat, he would kill him. It was just that at that time, he had been deeply infuriated, so he had not thought about these words in detail.

Now that he thought about it, he was still too young and naive. In terms of scheming and scheming, he was way too young compared to those old people. If he had gotten the information earlier, he wouldn't have been so passive now. He would have been led astray by the nose by his true master.

However, it was too late for regret. He could only sigh in his heart.

"I didn't expect it to be me, did I?" Perhaps he had seen through Lin Bai's thoughts, a mocking smile appeared on the True Master's face as he said in an indifferent manner, "The original benefactor, to become the greatest enemy is indeed a little ironic."

"In the end, I still have to bear your kindness. If it wasn't for your guidance, I wouldn't have been able to figure out the secrets of the Spirit Transformation realm so quickly and stabilize my cultivation." Initially, Lin Bai thought that he would definitely be infuriated when he saw a true master. He had never thought that he would become so calm and peaceful when the true master stood in front of him.

In fact, the reason for Lin Bai's current state of mind was very simple, it was because what had happened had already happened. Moreover, there was no longer any room for negotiation. If one hated it but could not, then it would cause one to feel calm.

"You don't need to talk about favors with me, you don't owe me anything. First, I'll guide you so that you can pay me back; secondly, I want you to do some things for me. Those things are very profound, and even if you don't have enough strength, you still won't be able to accomplish them." The True Master waved his hand and looked at Lin Bai for a long time before sighing, "However, your talent still surprises me a little. I didn't expect that you would be able to improve so quickly in an era where the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was depleted and your meridians were destroyed."

"Regret helping me back then?" Lin Bai shook his head with a bitter smile.

"What are you regretting? "This old man has done far too many things in his life. If I'm going to regret everything, why would I still be alive?" When the True Master heard this, he chuckled. He tapped the back of his left hand and said lightly, "And even with your current cultivation level, you are still unable to enter my eyes. I have no regrets."

Lin Bai was silent upon hearing this, as per what his true teacher had said. From the moment he met his true master, although he appeared to be light and relaxed, in reality, he was constantly enduring an incomparable spiritual pressure. When he faced Wu Qi back in the Land of Buried Gods, he had never felt such a feeling. The power of a true master far exceeded his imagination.

"You said you wanted to repay me with a peach, but what peach did I throw for you to tell me about the third level of the art, as well as the secrets to my Dharma Idol?" Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Lin Bai cleared his mind and asked slowly.

He believed in the second reason the True Master had told him, but the first sentence had said something in return that confused him. He had never interacted with a true master before, nor had he seen this person before, much less done anything to him. Why did he say that he was going to teach him, and that he was actually trying to repay him with a favor? Lin Bai couldn't understand.

"Do you still remember the loud sound that came from Jinling City when you were fighting Old Daoist Zhuge?" Upon hearing Lin Bai's words, a strange smile appeared on the True Master's face as he slowly said to Lin Bai.

A loud sound? How could he not remember that explosive sound in Jinling? Especially after the explosion, Lin Bai still felt that a powerful and fleeting Qi had appeared within the city, but at that time, he had treated that Qi as the perception of heaven and earth.
