Chapter 153
Yao Yue: "Uh, is Lin Bai really planning to use that sword to break into the secret realm?"
Lian Xing: "That can't be right. Any normal person wouldn't do that. If the secret realm were that easy to break into, why wouldn't the people from the No Beginning Sacred Ground go themselves?"
Yan Yan Lingji: "Don't worry, this kid definitely isn't that stupid. If he actually believed such an unreliable suggestion, then something would truly be wrong!"
Zhang Zhang Sanfeng: "Right, this kid is very sharp. If he were really that stupid, how could he have survived until now?"
Tang San: "I hope he doesn't actually shout something like 'thirty years'... otherwise, he'd definitely be able to dig out a three-bedroom apartment on the spot!"
This is the fourth chapter today. The author is continuing to release chapters in bursts, absolutely working hard to do so, quality guaranteed!

Please give the author a little bit of support, I beg you all!!
Tang San: "It's just too funny. I have to ask, Ye Ye Gucheng, what were you thinking? You actually gave Lin Bai a sword from a martial arts world."
"That's a fantasy world over there; it's a completely different concept from your world."
"The sword you gave him, even if you bragged it up to the heavens, at most it's only good for dealing with mortals. If he really goes to the secret realm with it, isn't that just sending Lin Bai to his death?"
Even Shi Hao, who had been in seclusion, couldn't help but pop up and say: "Brother Ye Gucheng, aren't you leading Lin Bai astray?"
"If he relied on his own abilities, he might have been able to enter the secret realm. I won't say he'd slaughter everyone, but at least self-preservation wouldn't be a problem. You, on the other hand, just handed him a sword. What if Lin Bai takes it seriously?"
"Using a mortal sword to slay demons nearing the immortal realm—wouldn't that be like a sheep entering a tiger's den?"
Zhang Zhang Sanfeng: "It's over. If this kid takes it seriously, he won't actually take that piece of mortal junk and hack his way from the north to the south, will he?"
"A sin, a sin indeed. It is I who have harmed young friend Lin!"
At this moment, Ye Ye Gucheng, who was cultivating in his room, saw the messages in the chat group and was completely stunned.
With a face full of regret, he kept hitting his head with his hand.
"I am truly stupid. Not only did I fail to help, but I actually harmed him instead. How can I live with my conscience?"
It was supposed to be an act of helping others, but who would have thought it would evolve into such a situation.
If Lin Bai really took the sword he sent to break into the secret realm, one could guess the outcome even with their knees.
An unprecedented sense of annoyance surged into his heart!
He had actually harmed someone invisibly, and a heaven-gifted genius at that!
"How could I have come up with such a terrible idea???"
"Heavens, Brother Lin, please don't take it seriously!!!"
In his remorse, he immediately began to make amends, frantically @-ing Lin Bai in the group and sending message after message.
"Brother Lin, actually I was just joking with you. That sword is already covered in rust and can't be used at all. You should just return it to me!"
"Brother Lin, to tell you the truth, this sword has been with me for decades. Giving it to you like this really leaves me with no memento at all!"
"Brother Lin? Brother Lin???"
Yao Yue: "Stop sending messages. He's probably already walked into the secret realm with the sword you gave him, full of confidence."
Lian Xing: "Sigh, for Lin Bai to be such a genius and yet encounter such a disaster, it's truly unexpected!"
"Sister, can we help him?"
Yao Yue: "Do you think I don't want to help? He's already logged off. How can we help at a time like this? Even if we used the group channel to go over, we'd need his consent. He's not even online, so how can we help?"
"Furthermore, with the cultivation level of us two sisters, I'm afraid that if we went, we wouldn't be helping him but rather becoming a burden!"
Yan Yan Lingji: "But we can't just watch Lin Bai go to his death like this!"
Ying Zheng: "You say he's such a heaven-gifted genius, how could he not even think of this? Without Brother Lin, chatting in the group won't be interesting anymore!"
At this moment, the entire chat group fell into an atmosphere of pity and compassion.
They were now terrified that Lin Bai would really take that broken sword to break into the so-called secret realm.
Isn't this just a literal death-seeking path?
However, even if they were worried to death, there was nothing they could do, because Lin Bai had already logged off. Unless he could log back on, not even the Great Luo Immortals could save him!
Meanwhile, Lin Bai was sitting on a cloud, getting closer and closer to the location of the Great Desolate Mountain.
Looking at the surging sea below, he couldn't help but weigh the sword in his hand.
Clearly, there wasn't the slightest bit of spiritual energy to speak of, not even the most basic sword Qi or sword intent.
It was obviously just an ordinary, plain sword.
He drew the sword, shook it, and said: "Relying on this kind of sword to go to the secret realm, I'm afraid nine lives wouldn't be enough."
He wanted to throw it away directly, but thinking that this was Ye Ye Gucheng's good intention, it would be a bit unreasonable to waste it like this.
But he couldn't possibly really take this sword to the secret realm, could he?
After some thought, he began to re-forge the sword!
The reason he didn't choose to forcibly raise the sword's grade directly was because that would be a bit of a waste.
And he had previously obtained quite a few materials for sword forging; if not now, when?
The process of forging the sword was extremely mysterious and solemn.
Lin Bai prepared a large amount of precious materials, placed them on the forging table, and began the ritual.
First, he ignited a phoenix feather, which turned into flames dancing on the forging table.
The flames burned fiercely, emitting waves of scorching heat.
This flame represented the power of the mortal world and was the beginning of the sword-forging process.
Next, Lin Bai took out a Moon Essence Stone and heated it in the flames; the stone gradually emitted a ghostly blue light.
This stone represented the aura of the immortal world and was the key to transforming a mortal object into an immortal one.
With the addition of the Moon Essence Stone, the energy on the forging table began to churn, as if it wanted to fuse the mortal and immortal worlds together.
He focused his mind and began to guide this energy, using extremely exquisite techniques to place the other precious materials into the forging table one by one.
There were dragon scales, phoenix feathers, lion teeth, and qilin horns; these precious items intertwined, emitting powerful spiritual energy.
As Lin Bai's hands danced, the energy gradually condensed, forming unique runic patterns.
These runes shone with a dazzling light, leaping as if they had a life of their own.
And just at this moment, the entire world began to undergo a massive change.
The sky became overcast with dark clouds, thunder and lightning flashed, the distant mountains shook incessantly, and the ground trembled.
This was the world's response to the birth of an immortal sword, an acknowledgment of the power of a sword with unparalleled might.
Lin Bai could also feel this powerful might and was deeply shocked.
He witnessed the celestial phenomena, his heart filled with awe and solemnity.
He knew deep down just how terrifying the power of the sword in his hand would be now!
As time passed, the energy on the forging table became more and more solid, and the runic patterns became more and more complete.
Finally, when the last rune was completed, an immortal sword with heaven-defying power was born.
This immortal sword emitted an incomparably dazzling light, the blinding glare illuminating the entire sky above the sea.
It was already broad daylight, but now it was like a land of pure light, stinging people's eyes so they couldn't open them!
Lin Bai gently lifted the immortal sword, feeling the powerful aura it emitted, his heart filled with heroism and solemnity.
Although the sword was still the same sword as before, and from the surface there were no changes, it would only undergo a massive change when used!
At this moment, his confidence was through the roof. After all, he knew nothing about sword forging and only knew the basics; he hadn't expected to directly forge an immortal sword with incomparable power.
Although its power remained to be verified, at least its grade had increased several times over!
