Lin Xiao spent half a day mastering the final stage.
It had to be said, this was too miraculous.
He wasn't without experience seeing precious cultivation techniques, nor had he seen only one or two supreme martial arts.
But the cultivation technique passed down from the Lin family that he held in his hands now, he truly couldn't understand it.
Since he had questions, he decided to be direct and seek out the Old Heavenly Master to clarify everything.
By the time he arrived, a pot of tea had already been prepared in the Old Heavenly Master's room. The tea was at the perfect temperature, as if he had calculated Lin Xiao's arrival time in advance.
"Sit."
The Old Heavenly Master tapped his finger on the table, and the teapot floated into the air, pouring a cup of tea for Lin Xiao.
"Lin Xiao, I know you have many questions now. Ask away."
The Old Heavenly Master waited until both cups were filled before picking up his tea, raising his eyelids to glance at Lin Xiao.
At this moment, the Old Heavenly Master seemed different from before.
"Old Heavenly Master, why did those cultivators go to such lengths just to destroy my Lin family? Was it for my Lin family's legacy?"
"Your Lin family's legacy is only one part of it; the other part is for you yourself."
"For me?" Lin Xiao frowned.
"Lin Xiao, do you think it's a common thing for a person to leap from being an ordinary second-generation heir to the Zi Zai realm, comprehending the Heavenly Dao, in just six years?" the Old Heavenly Master retorted.
Of course, it wasn't common; it was a terrifying matter.
Lin Xiao recalled his cultivation speed, which had reached a point of completely breaking conventions and surpassing normal human imagination.
"Because you, Lin Xiao, are not just Lin Xiao. You are an immortal reincarnation."
As the Old Heavenly Master spoke, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
In that instant, above Longhu Mountain, clouds surged, and thunder rolled.
"?!"
Lin Xiao felt pressure, but it wasn't directed at him; it was on the Old Heavenly Master?!
"No..."
This time, the Old Heavenly Master stared at Lin Xiao in horror: "You... are not an immortal reincarnation. You are even more terrifying. The entire Heavenly Dao is obstructing me... This is not the first time."
As he spoke, he spat out another mouthful of blood.
The next second, a golden light appeared on the Old Heavenly Master's body!
With the appearance of the golden light, he raised his head, and a beam of golden light pierced through the roof and the firmament.
A vertical eye seemed to appear between the Old Heavenly Master's eyebrows.
It was at this moment that the Old Heavenly Master's weakening aura was restored.
A horsetail whisk appeared in his hand.
Lin Xiao's eyes blurred, and the Old Heavenly Master vanished.
Lin Xiao rushed out of the room. At this moment, the Old Heavenly Master was floating in mid-air. He waved his horsetail whisk again, and a cryptic aura, accompanied by his golden light, pierced through the sky.
What was that?
Lin Xiao looked up at the spot where the golden light was.
There, it was as if a massive gate, like the mountain gate of sects such as Misty Immortal Palace or Heavenly Master Dao, appeared in the sky.
He felt that behind this gate, there was something.
Something very dangerous and very powerful.
As the Old Heavenly Master flicked his horsetail whisk, the mountain gate in the sky... no, the Heavenly Gate, began to slowly close.
"This world has nothing to do with you."
The Old Heavenly Master's voice was faint, so faint that only Lin Xiao could hear it.
Yet, it was also loud enough for whatever was beyond the Heavenly Gate in the sky to hear.
