Chapter 163: Lin Bai's Dao

"I wonder how the Righteousness Sect plans to develop in the future, Shopkeeper Lin?"

Jiang Yuru accompanied her words with a smile, looking at Lin Bai as she tentatively inquired.

At this moment, Lin Bai was no longer the unknown small fry he had been when he first entered Qian City.

He had single-handedly taken down Huilong Temple, offended the Evil Five Sects, and had a crowd of Heavenly Descended who obeyed his every word under his command, with the unfathomable Righteousness Sect backing him...

For such a person, any decision he made was enough to cause turmoil among the sects surrounding Qian City; no amount of importance attached to him would be an exaggeration.

Zhao Ang and the others pricked up their ears in unison, looking toward Lin Bai.

Lin Bai's actions were too fast; they were passive at every turn, unable to keep up with his pace no matter how hard they tried, if only they could understand his future deployments from his own mouth.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, your beauty is no less than Jiang Qingqin's. Now that even Huaxi Furen and Qing Yu Daozhang have come together, have you ever thought about finding a Dao companion or something?" Lin Bai asked expectantly.

"Laws are unique; once someone masters one, unless that person falls, no second god identical to them will be born." Lin Bai sighed, looking at the crowd with pity, and shook his head, "You really know nothing about Laws!"

"Right, you are practicing immortality, while I am practicing God Refining." Lin Bai gave him an approving look, "Currently, the order between heaven and earth follows its natural course, but once one masters a Law, one can act on behalf of Heaven."

The complexions of Daojing and the others changed instantly; they couldn't help but take a few steps back, looking at Lin Bai as if they were looking at a demon.

"But what does this have to do with the Love God?" Jiang Yuru looked at Lin Bai and asked.

With a living example like Lin Bai right here, and the things he had done laid out there, every single item could be matched to what he said.

"A type of Law; on the surface, it looks like a Charm Technique, but in essence, it touches upon the Law of Marriage. After practicing it, one can move thoughts to make others fall in love with oneself, and be unable to extricate themselves; it is very suitable for female cultivators." Lin Bai looked at Jiang Yuru and added, "It fits very well with the techniques of your Hundred Flowers Valley."

"The Righteousness Sect never practices Dao Methods; we only temper Laws." Lin Bai scanned the crowd, his face full of arrogance, "All of our cultivation methods are derived from the Laws."

Jiang Yuru swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

To complete system tasks, one must grasp subjective initiative; walking ahead of the system is the best strategy.

Jiang Yuru and the others shook their heads subconsciously.

Jiang Yuru shook her head.

"What is the Great Dao of Love?" Jiang Yuru was stunned for a moment and asked.

"You just said it yourself, because you destroyed Huilong Temple, the Heavenly Dao Sect might take action against you at any time; you wouldn't want to be the enemy of the whole world, would you!" Sun Lie said.

Does that mean I have no friends!

Lin Bai smiled and looked at Jiang Yuru and the others: "Fellow Daoists, all righteous sects under heaven are one family. If the evil sects invade, you will help me, right?"

"Beat them until they are afraid, and it will naturally be stable." Lin Bai laughed.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, Qingqin is my disciple, and she admires you wholeheartedly. If it were just me personally, I would naturally be duty-bound. But regarding sect matters, I cannot make the decision; I must go back and ask the Valley Master." Jiang Yuru looked at Lin Bai and said a very sophisticated line.

"Perhaps she forgot; don't blame her." Lin Bai smiled, "That day at the recruitment fair, you stopped her from saving me; she might have had some grievances toward you. Young girls, their temperaments are all like that; I have already persuaded her."

The Old Man Under the Moon kept asking him to form CP, so he would play a big one; let the people around him take the initiative to form CP, and then he could just wait to collect the rewards.

"That is truly a pity." Lin Bai shook his head, "Hundred Flowers Valley has many female cultivators; I thought you would be able to comprehend the Great Dao of Love!"

Zhao Ang and the others widened their eyes, looking at Lin Bai, envious to the point of tears. Indeed, comparing people makes one want to die, and comparing goods makes one want to throw them away!

"What topic?" Jiang Yuru asked subconsciously.

"The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Derivation is forty-nine, and people escape one. Within the Flaw, one can comprehend the method of peeking into the secrets of Heaven." Lin Bai said.

Jiang Yuru's expression sank immediately: "No need to trouble Fellow Daoist Lin. At present, I have no plans to find a Dao companion."

They were unwilling to believe it, yet they dared not not believe it.

"Yes, we are all small figures in our sects and cannot make decisions." Zhao Ang and the others echoed one after another, secretly giving Jiang Yuru an approving look.

Jiang Yuru and the others were stunned at the same time.

"First find a Dao companion and experience true love; if you haven't even experienced love, how can you comprehend the Marriage Dao?" Lin Bai said.

"To be precise, I am not practicing, I am comprehending the Dao." Lin Bai smiled and continued, "I possess many ways of practicing Laws; every time I have a new understanding of a Law, my cultivation base surges by a large margin. Once I completely comprehend the power of a certain Law, I am the deity in charge of that Law. Under that Law, all rules must be set by me; no one can defy them."

"When 'Words Follow the Law' is practiced to great success, one can define the Great Dao Laws." Lin Bai said, "I see that the Heavenly Descended are all practicing 'Words Follow the Law'; presumably, this technique has already been spread. I told Jiang Qingqin before that the practice method of 'Words Follow the Law' is too strange, and I fear you wouldn't believe it, so I used the Heavenly Descended to force the people of the Cultivation World to practice it. In the end, if even one person in our world succeeds, it can resolve the crisis of this chaos caused by the Heavenly Descended."

"Seek stability, and then carry forward the Righteousness Sect." Lin Bai looked at them and smiled.

Jiang Yuru's mouth twitched, and she almost slapped Lin Bai in the face.

"'Words Follow the Law' is the King of Gods, and the Love God is one of its rules." Lin Bai smiled, "I also told Jiang Qingqin about the Incomplete Dao; presumably, she didn't tell you either!"

"Just comprehending the Dao." Lin Bai laughed.

Jiang Yuru's expression changed slightly, and she shook her head subconsciously.

This demon is actually lustful!

It's too hard!

Living in this world, who can reveal their inner heart to another without reservation? Just as Lin Bai said, there are too many entanglements of interests between them...

"Fellow Daoist Lin, please don't joke; it wouldn't be good if my disciple Qingqin heard it." Jiang Yuru was embarrassed to the extreme and defended herself with a blushing face, but stealing a glance at Lin Bai, there was a trace of secret joy in her heart; sure enough, her charm was still greater than that stupid disciple of hers.

Whether it was true or false, there would at least be an explanation after returning to the sect.

"You still haven't said what is going on with the Love God??" Jiang Yuru asked tentatively.

No one was better at doing system tasks than him.

"..." Zhao Ang, Peng Ze, Sun Lie, Daojing, and the others all cast strange looks at Lin Bai.

"If it really doesn't work, I'll just run!" Lin Bai shrugged indifferently, "My master said I am a peerless genius encountered once in ten thousand years; if I fall, it is a loss for the whole world, and they won't ignore me. If I am really at a dead end, I will hide back in the Righteousness Sect, practice for ten or eight years, and then come out of the mountains to seek revenge on my enemies."

"No, what you said is wrong! If you spread the practice method of the Great Dao Laws, wouldn't you be creating a bunch of Marriage Gods in the world?" His long-standing cultivation was subverted; Peng Ze's Dao Heart fluctuated, his mood somewhat collapsing, and he roared hysterically, "You are lying!"

"You don't know?" Lin Bai looked at the crowd strangely.

"Please enlighten us, Fellow Daoist Lin." Jiang Yuru said.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, don't overthink it; I have no feelings for you, I just purely want to play matchmaker for you." Lin Bai shook his head, "To tell you the truth, the marriage between Qing Yu Daozhang and Huaxi Furen was facilitated by me."

Daojing and the others pricked up their ears, Listening to this heaven-shaking secret; following the Heavenly Descended, Lin Bai seemed to have opened a door to a new world for them.

"..."

Jiang Yuru and the others looked at each other; encountering someone as shameless as Lin Bai, they didn't know how to respond at all!

"Right, just like me and Jiang Qingqin, we can give everything for each other; I can risk my life, and she can also give her life for me. There is nothing else mixed in between us; I can tell her all my secrets without reservation, including 'Words Follow the Law', including the Incomplete Dao, and even 'Love for House and Crow'; I treat her master as a relative too, thinking of finding her a Dao companion so she can experience the Dao of Love."

"Forget it, let's not talk about that. When soldiers come, block them; when water comes, earth covers it. There will always be a way to survive the crisis." Lin Bai smiled indifferently and looked at Jiang Yuru, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, shall we talk about something more relaxed?"

"So, that is why you are causing destruction everywhere," Zhao Ang said.

Daojing and the others fell into silence.

Where is your righteousness?

"Shopkeeper Lin, the Evil Five Sects stop at nothing to achieve their ends. You have offended them and caused them to lose face. Even if they have accepted you for the moment, once our restraint is gone, they will likely still move against you later. By then, you might not even have a single ally left," Jiang Yuru said, biting the bullet.

"Once you are all alone, even if you are made of iron, how many nails can you strike?" Peng Ze said, "You have seen it too; the Heavenly Descended have not yet grown up. A few Nascent Soul cultivators acting casually were enough to wipe them out. Even if they have an Undying Body, I fear they cannot help you much!"

Why is there such a shameless person in this world?

Aren't you from the Righteous Sect?

"Love God? Return to the throne?" Jiang Yuru frowned, her face full of confusion.

"First, they don't know the Marriage Dao exists!" Lin Bai said, "Second, love in this world is not pure; it is mixed with too many conflicts of interest and infidelity. If such worldly people could also comprehend the Love Dao, then mastering the law would be too easy."

What is wrong with him?

Is he not only arrogant but also lecherous?

But she clearly just said that her disciple already admires you; how could you set your sights on her again?

Does he eat both the old and the young?

Daojing secretly glanced at his senior brother Daoxu, who was standing next to Lin Bai, and quietly swallowed his saliva. I fear it's not just the old and young he eats; he doesn't even discriminate between meat and vegetables!

However.

Gulp!

"Qingqin has never told me about this," Jiang Yuru said with a frown.

Is this a threat?

It must be a threat!

"First, the Heavenly Descended are causing chaos in the world, and the world needs someone to master these laws to oppose the Heavenly Descended; second, my goal has always been to become the supreme god, which is to cultivate 'Words Manifesting into Law' to perfection. As for other laws, I just practice them casually; I never took them seriously at all," Lin Bai glanced at him and said contemptuously.

……

"A deity?" Zhao Ang muttered.

Another fact has been verified!

Everyone's heads were buzzing; they were all stunned.

This guy doesn't even know what right, wrong, or integrity are, does he!

"No matter," Lin Bai smiled, "When I was young, my master told me that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. If I truly cannot win, I will simply lead the Heavenly Descended to join them. I have enough bargaining chips in my hands; I presume the Evil Sects won't mind what I did at the recruitment fair."

"Pure?" Jiang Yuru murmured.

Perhaps this could be used as a breakthrough point...

"Why are you so selfless as to make the matter of laws public?" Peng Ze said, "I don't believe there is such a selfless person in the world."

【Resentment from Jiang Yuru, Daojing...; +1+1+1】

In order to increase his Internal Energy, he has already stopped at nothing. Relying on the Beggar Sect alone is not enough. If he can promote the theory of the Incomplete Dao and have the whole world causing destruction, he might even become a saint on the spot.

Talking to him is too exhausting!

Are you really sure the Righteous Sect didn't kick you out because they couldn't stand you?

……

A hint of sweetness appeared on Lin Bai's face as he asked, "Can you all do what I said for the sake of the person you love?"

"You can still seek stability in your current situation?" Jiang Yuru blurted out.

Everything Lin Bai said completely overturned their understanding of cultivation.

The little white fox jolted violently, looked up at Lin Bai, and a look of contemplation appeared on its small face.

But what does "joining the other side" mean at the slightest disagreement?

Joining the other side and then turning around to attack them would make it the Evil Six Sects against their Righteous Four Sects; the balance would be completely broken!

Cultivating the Dao, cultivating the Dao—has everyone been cultivating it wrong for tens of thousands of years?

"How can one become the Love God?" Jiang Yuru asked blankly.

After all.

When I was in Jiamu City, my strength was only equal to Daoist Qingfeng; when I arrived at Qian City, it was at most comparable to Daoist Zhao Ang; but when I left Qian City, I could already fight a hundred alone and oppose Golden Core True Persons. Upon arriving at Huilong Temple, my strength had already reached the Nascent Soul Realm. Everyone, you have cultivated for many years; have you ever seen any cultivator with a growth speed like mine..."

"There are so many couples in the world, why has no one ever comprehended the Love Dao?" Peng Ze, who had been silent, asked with red eyes.

Zhao Ang and the others were also speechless. Those were the five great evil sects that had been in a stalemate with them for thousands of years; who gave you this confidence?

"Sect Leader Lin, if you are only at the Nascent Soul Realm, even with us, I fear you are no match for the five great evil sects." Daojing swept his eyelids over Lin Bai and quietly revealed his cultivation realm to Jiang Yuru and the others. To prevent Lin Bai from becoming suspicious, he continued, "All along, we have watched over and helped the Righteous Five Sects, only then barely maintaining a balanced situation..."

He looked at Daoxu standing to the side and shook his head, saying, "I don't fear being laughed at by you fellow Daoists, but this cultivation method played a huge role in successfully taking down Huilong Temple this time. Unfortunately, Qingqin and I only just developed a little bit of affection and did not comprehend the true meaning of love, so the method was practiced slightly off-course. Otherwise, I fear the people of Huilong Temple would not have harbored hostility toward me."

"……" Jiang Yuru.

No wonder Shopkeeper Lin is so arrogant. If they had this speed of cultivation, they might be even more arrogant than Lin Bai!

The Yuelao System played a very big help in this battle. He had to consider creating a pair of CP for the world again to grind out Cupid's Resistance Arrow.

He took down Huilong Temple and became enemies with the Evil Five Sects. Jiang Yuru had still been thinking that if Lin Bai wanted to survive, he would at least have to lower his posture and cooperate with them to get through the current crisis...

"The Love God is the God of Marriage, mastering the marriages of all living things between heaven and earth," Lin Bai said. "Once you master the Law of Love, you can make men and women in the world fall in love at will, or you can cut off the feelings between them at will. You can even make men fall in love with men, and women with women. If you are willing, you can even make humans and demons fall in love; no one can resist..."

"Do not be afraid. Like 'Words Manifesting into Law', this is a type of Great Dao law; it has nothing to do with good or evil," Lin Bai glanced at them and explained. "I have only slightly touched the edge of marriage; it does not count as truly mastering it. If one can truly master this law, one is the veritable Love God of this world, capable of controlling the marriages of the world. Once the Love God returns to the throne, marriage can be controlled at will."

"……"

Are you kidding me? You call this seeking stability?

"But your actions are not those of a righteous person at all; you have done too many evil things," Peng Ze said. "You even wanted to join the Evil Sect just now."

"Therefore, you conclude that I am an evil person?" Lin Bai smiled at him, shook his head, and said, "Old Peng, perhaps there is a distinction between good and evil in the eyes of the world? But there is none in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao. Black and white, good and evil, all exist normally. Without either, the world cannot function normally. I am just following my inner choices. You are all too bound. To comprehend the Dao, you must first make yourself a pure person and dare to face the true thoughts in your heart..."
