Jian Kong had been observing Li Qinglian.
Seeing him immediately cultivating, he was a little confused.
This was the Sword Tomb Secret Realm, which only opened once every hundred years. If they were trapped inside, they could only leave after another hundred years.
Was he not worried?
Jian Kong wore a bewildered expression, and the other three felt similarly.
"This person's talent is exceptionally strong. I'll go ask," Jian Kong said.
Lin Yu watched as an old man walked over and blocked his path.
"Old man, what do you want?"
Jian Kong stopped and looked at Lin Yu's fused avatar.
He was stunned at first glance.
He hadn't noticed Lin Yu at all until now, and only then did he realize there was a Divine-level powerhouse hidden from his perception.
This was mainly because Lin Yu had concealed his presence, causing the other party to overlook him.
However, it wasn't that he couldn't be seen, but rather he was subconsciously ignored.
Now, up close, Jian Kong realized he had overlooked Lin Yu.
Unbelievable!
What kind of existence was this person?
Someone who could make him overlook them was likely stronger than a god.
He had already reached the peak of a High God.
What kind of existence was the person before him?
Various questions surfaced in his mind, making him a little agitated.
He cupped his fists and said, "Fellow Daoist, where do you come from?"
Lin Yu smiled and said, "I come from the outside world!"
The outside world?
The other party fell into thought.
The outside world referred to other worlds, and the other party clearly understood.
"Strange, the space in our world is very stable. How did you open a spatial gate?"
"That's none of your concern."
"This person has outstanding Sword Dao talent. I wish to take him as my disciple. Is that possible?"
He looked at Lin Yu expectantly.
Lin Yu's face darkened. You want to take my teacher as your disciple? How could that be?
Wouldn't that make me two generations younger for no reason?
He immediately shook his head and said, "He is my teacher. This is a case of accumulating strength for a future breakthrough. He just needs a chance. Let him cultivate here for a while, and he will break through to the Divine Realm. You don't need to worry about it."
The old man nodded upon hearing this.
He understood the principle.
However, he was truly covetous of the person before him.
If he could take Jian Shen in, he would have a successor. Moreover, if he poured all his resources into nurturing him, he was confident of breaking through to the Divine Realm within a few years.
This was far more reliable than waiting for the other party.
Unfortunately, someone was blocking him.
And it was an outsider whose depths he couldn't fathom.
The other three frowned and looked at each other, then flew over.
Soon, they also looked stunned and said, "What's going on? How did someone else appear here?"
They had also overlooked Lin Yu. Only now, up close, did they realize they had ignored someone.
This was chilling to contemplate.
Could the man before them be even stronger than them?
Was he that Lord God-level existence?
Impossible!
Their world couldn't support a Lord God.
Lord Gods were far stronger than Divine Gods.
If High Gods were a hundred thousand times stronger than demigods, then a low-level Lord God would be a hundred thousand times stronger than a High God.
That was the gap, a despairing gap.
If the other party was a Lord God, there was no need to fight; they might as well surrender.
Lin Yu smiled and offered no explanation, letting them guess wildly.
However, he looked at the old man, then at Jian Shen, and an idea struck him.
He teleported next to the old man and asked with a smile, "What is your name?"
Jian Kong was startled. The teleportation skill was too powerful; he hadn't even sensed any spatial fluctuations.
Jian Kong took a deep breath and said, "My name is Jian Kong!"
"You seem to want to take my teacher as your disciple?"
"His Sword Dao talent is extraordinary, and my lifespan is nearly exhausted. I wish to take a disciple to inherit my legacy."
"I understand, but that's impossible. How about this: let you accept a disciple on behalf of your teacher?"
"Ah?" Jian Kong was bewildered but quickly reacted, "This... this is acceptable!"
Lin Yu smiled, "This way, my teacher would be your junior disciple. No! This way, I would still be a generation younger than you. That won't do, that won't do. You should accept a disciple on behalf of your grand-teacher."
Accept a disciple on behalf of his grand-teacher?
How could he think of such a thing?
Although Jian Kong was nearing the end of his lifespan, he wasn't without his temper.
He was about to get angry but was stopped by a large hand on his shoulder. He found himself unable to move and was greatly alarmed.
Could he really be a Lord God?
Lin Yu was certainly not a Lord God, but his strength was dozens of times greater than that of a High God.
Dozens of times might not seem like much, but it was enough to achieve complete dominance.
Especially his physical strength, which was the most terrifying. It might not compare to a Lord God's physical body, but it was hundreds of times stronger than a High God's.
Lin Yu calmly said, "You don't need to be nervous. We come with peaceful intentions."
Peaceful?
Is this how you bring peace?
I think you've come bearing nightmares.
The four of them grumbled inwardly but didn't dare to say anything, as the person before them was too powerful.
"You don't seem to agree? Coincidentally, I killed some Divine Gods a few days ago and refined some Divine-grade Blood and Flesh Pills. I'll give you a few as a trade, how about it?"
As Lin Yu spoke, he took out a porcelain bottle and poured out a blood-red pill.
The moment the pill appeared, divine power fluctuations caused the void to tremble slightly.
The four were shocked.
"This is truly a Divine-grade pill!"
"How can it be a Divine-grade pill? I wonder what type it is?"
"Is he going to give it to us?"
"This bottle of Divine Pills is worth at least an artifact."
Then, they became completely excited.
Because Lin Yu took out another bottle of pills.
"Jian Kong, this bottle of pills is for you. There are four Divine-grade Blood and Flesh Pills inside. However, this type of pill is only effective the first time it's taken. The other bottle has three, for your three friends."
Saying this, he handed the pill bottles to them.
They were overjoyed upon receiving the pills.
"Don't worry, I will only accept a disciple on behalf of my grand-teacher!"
Then, after a series of maneuvers, Jian Shen became Jian Kong's junior grand-disciple, and Lin Yu became the junior grand-uncle.
Lin Yu was very happy. Before leaving, he signed contracts with the four of them and then departed with satisfaction.
However, before leaving, he destroyed the spatial gate and then opened another spatial gate in a hidden secret chamber within the inner court.
This made things much safer.
After doing all this, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily.
"Next, it's time to start my new life!"
Lin Yu left the inner court and, with Lin Wu, headed to another location.
On the way.
He used his mysterious skill "Bai Xiaosheng" to summon that big rooster.
"I want to know how long it will take for Blue Star to complete its transformation?"
"Price: one Godhead!"
"Holy crap, you're too greedy!"
"This price is already very cheap."
"Here!" Lin Yu didn't hesitate, as he had plenty of Godheads anyway.
The big rooster took the Godhead, its eyes lit up, and it disappeared from its spot.
Before long, it returned.
"I've inquired. It will take another three months. During this period, there will be several major changes: the initial transformation in three days, a deep transformation in a month and a half, and a complete transformation in three months."
"Each transformation will increase Blue Star's volume, allowing it to accommodate a higher limit, and eventually, it will grow into a powerful world capable of accommodating Lord Gods."
"Please be prepared. In all the myriad worlds, the birth of every Lord God world will inevitably attract countless covetous eyes."
