C2581 Guiqi Is Hard to Find

The way things went on was almost the same as what Lin Bai predicted.

After he was sure that Ge Tian, Meng Bai, and Qiu Yun had died, the disciples of the Hollow Jade Sect, regardless of Jin Bao's cultivation level, had all painstakingly pushed him into the position of sect master without any hesitation.

At the beginning, Jin Baohong still refused everyone's suggestion, not because he was unmoved by this position, but because he knew very well that his cultivation was only at the middle level of the Brightsun realm, and it was difficult for him to convince the masses; and secondly, because, no matter what happened, Ge Tian would follow him and his disciples, and Ge Tian's death also had something to do with him.

Once Ge Tian died, he took over the position of sect head with great force. If this matter were to fall into the eyes of those who did not know of the internal affairs, they would inevitably call for him to be born because of the sect head, committing treason and exterminating the ancestors.

But as Lin Bai had previously said, the more Jin Baohong refused, the more anxious the disciples of the Hollow Jade Sect became for him to take this seat. Especially people like Kong Zang, who used to ridicule Jin Bao Hong. Now, he was jumping up and down, claiming that the brilliant Jade Void Sect, other than the highly respected Jin Bao Hong, had no one else capable of holding such a position.

Under the urging of these people, there was simply no possibility of Jin Baohong being able to refuse them. Just like that, confused and without any reason, he was promoted to the position of sect head, becoming the new head of the Hollow Jade Sect.

As he sat down, Jin Baohong suddenly felt as if he were in a dream. Once upon a time, even recovering his cultivation was an unattainable dream for him. The him of that time had never imagined that one day, he would actually be able to become the Sect Leader of the Hollow Jade Sect. He was very clear that the only reason he had such an extraordinary fortuitous encounter was because of Lin Bai.

The more it was like this, the more Jin Baohong lamented the fact that fate played tricks on him. Especially when he thought about how his encounter with Lin Bai was based on the fact that he robbed him, Jin Baohong was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and he felt even more grateful towards Lin Bai.

He knew that if it was a normal person with Lin Bai's cultivation level, they would have easily taken his life and sent him into the Netherworld, not to mention helping him out. This would have cleansed his resentment and made him stand out.

However, as long as he sighed and let the Hollow Jade Sect rest, the situation was just as chaotic as it was. Even though Jin Baohong was being chased out of the sect, he had no choice but to shoulder his responsibilities. His busy feet were not allowed to touch the ground.

While Jin Baohong was busy with his work, Lin Bai stole a rare opportunity to live a few days of leisure. Everyone in the entire Hollow Jade Sect was clear that the reason why Jin Bao Hong was able to meet him today was all because of Lin Bai. Ordinary disciples would not even have the time to see him hide and leave, much less dare to harass him.

However, this was exactly Lin Bai's habit of settling down. Taking advantage of this rare moment of peace, he carefully organized everything that had happened in the past few days in his heart, so as to increase his understanding of the Immortal World and his own situation.

The first thing Lin Bai thought of was when he was fighting against Ge Tian, and when Ge Tian's body shattered, the Nascent Soul flew out. After Jin Baohong's explanation and Lin Bai's calculation, he found out that the so-called Spirit Soul was another manifestation of the so-called Spirit Rest in the Dantian. With the help of the Heavenly Dao in the Dantian, the meridians were formed, perfectly unifying the Dharmic powers and the soul.

Heaven's meridians, mana, and divine soul all seemed incompatible, but when combined together, they produced an extremely miraculous chemical reaction. The originally formless soul would experience a qualitative change, giving it a new life. Even if its body was destroyed, the Nascent Soul could still be revived.

However, according to what Jin Baohong said, reaching the Nascent Soul stage was the only way to reach the Sky Origin Stage. It was precisely because of this that people at the Sky Origin Stage were called half-step True Immortals. However, a God Soul at the Sky Origin Stage was not complete. Only when the God Soul was at the Non-Phase Realm would the illusion become solid. When it turned from formless to corporeal, its power and vitality would be enhanced significantly.

Although he had figured out the principle and function of the Soul Formation, Lin Bai realized that even though he could compete with those at the upper level of the Heaven stage, or even those at the Non-Phase realm, there was no way for him to form a Nascent Soul.

The reason was because Lin Bai was a person who went against the dao, unlike the other cultivators in the Celestial Realm, who gathered all of their comprehension of the heavens into their dantian and formed their meridians. In order to reach the Divine Soul realm, the Heavenly Meridians, Fa Li, and the Divine Soul were all indispensable, especially the Heavenly Meridians. Lin Bai did not have any Heavenly Meridians, so there was no way for him to condense a Divine Soul.

However, if Lin Bai was able to condense enough Heaven Meridians within his dantian to satisfy his needs, then it wasn't impossible for him to condense a Divine Soul. However, Lin Bai had a faint feeling that the matter regarding the Heaven Meridians was not as simple as just involving the comprehension of the Heavenly Dao. There seemed to be other secrets hidden within.

This was also what Lin Bai had discovered through his analysis. He was the greatest difference between him and an ordinary person at the Qianyuan Realm. If he were to expose this point when fighting an enemy, it would likely cause others to realize his identity.

The Divine Soul was related to cultivation, not to his position in the underworld. As long as he hid himself carefully, he would not make any big mistakes. Therefore, what Lin Bai was more worried about was that before Ge Tian's death, he had mentioned something about the Sword Pavilion and the Supreme Mystery Sect searching for him.

The Supreme Mystery Gate was one thing, but Lin Bai had too many questions regarding the Sword Pavilion. This was because this so-called swordsman school was almost exactly the same as the sword pavilion in the hidden world. Not only was the name the same, the structure was also the same. Lin Bai couldn't help but wonder if the sword pavilion in the Immortal World and the secular Sword Pavilion were related from the start to the end.

Although he was one with the sword pavilion in the mortal world, Lin Bai still didn't want to have anything to do with the sword pavilion in the Immortal World before he understood how people dealt with things. It wasn't that Jin Baohong was evasive, it was just that his status was too low, and the Hollow Jade Sect was also a low level sect in the Immortal World, so it was simply impossible for them to understand the core matter of the Immortal World. Naturally, they were unable to answer Lin Bai's questions.

However, according to the information that Jin Baohong had received from the other disciples of the Hollow Jade Sect, on the same day that Lin Bai entered the Hollow Jade Sect, the Sword Pavilion and the Supreme Mystery Sect entered the Mystic Moon Cave which was more than a hundred miles away from the Hollow Jade Sect. After the two sects had entered, the Mystic Moon Sect had opened and closed, and aside from Master Xuan Yue, who was already at the Non-Phase Realm and had used his Spirit Soul to escape, no one else had escaped.

This incident had further strengthened Lin Bai's resolve to conceal his identity and origins, and for the time being, he wanted to avoid having any ties with the Sword Pavilion. He always felt that, regardless of whether he put the Sword Pavilion aside or not, he was definitely not a friend or foe.

What shocked Lin Bai even more was the strength displayed by the top sects in the Immortal World, such as the Sword Pavilion and the Supreme Mystery Sect. According to Jin Baohong, the two sects had only sent out a few disciples, but even so, they had directly annihilated a middle-level sect, and even destroyed a Non-Phase Realm expert's fleshly body, then used their Nascent Soul to escape.

Even though Lin Bai was clear that even if they were all Non-Phase Realm experts, there were still strong ones and weak ones among them. As for that esteemed Lao Zi, Xuan Yue, naturally couldn't be compared with that old man Tian Liang. But even so, this still reflected the strength of the disciples of the two sects. At the very least, from Lin Bai's point of view, if he were to confront these two sects, if there was any hostility between the two sects, he would definitely die without a burial.

The more he understood the difficulties he was facing, the more Lin Bai longed for the increase of his cultivation level and strength. He desperately hoped that he would be able to take a step forward on the opposite path, to have the strength to compete with these supreme experts and also be able to save Sophia and Li Qingnan from the hands of the Old Man of Heaven.

After understanding all of this, Lin Bai wanted to find out what sort of difference he would have after he became Jin Baohong's benefactor and had completed everything that Jin Baohong had said.

However, after Lin Bai investigated, he found out that everything was still the same as after he defeated Ge Tian. No matter if it was his own Fa Li, or anything else, nothing seemed to have changed.

However, even though his investigations were fruitless, Lin Bai was still able to clearly see a strange aura that was completely different from before. This aura originated from his body. This discovery made Lin Bai even more curious about everything that had happened. He wanted to find out just what had happened to the person who had created such a noble family, and where the transformation that had been brought about would come from.

After a careful examination, he finally found out where this noble person's' exorbitant 'transformation came from. This transformation happened in a place that Lin Bai had never imagined possible before. And this place, was the Life Marking!

However, it was precisely the Life Marks! If he had not been completely lost and truly could not find out the reason for this abnormality, Lin Bai would not have released his Life Marks to investigate the changes in them. The moment he released the Life Marks, he immediately discovered that his Life Marks had undergone a transformation from the previous Life Marks.

As far as Lin Bai could see, his Lifeline had long since been refined to look like the golden essence of a Thousand Refinements Thousand Hammer. Every time it was released, it would shine brightly, but on top of that brilliant gold, there was a purple aura that was almost impossible to detect. That aura was extremely ethereal and noble, and the more he comprehended it, the more he felt that it was extraordinary.

Unfortunately, even though he had found the exact location of the transformation, Lin Bai was unable to fully analyze how this transformation would change him. It was not because of anything else, but because fate was the most difficult thing to capture in the world. It was extremely unpredictable.
