Chapter 57: Fake?

Night, Lingyin Temple.

Guest room.

Yu Lin was not sleeping; he sat cross‑legged on the bed, cultivating.

The "Qi" at this time is no less than in the Han era; it can be said to be exactly the same.

Then something must have happened in later ages that caused the "Qi" to drop dramatically.

It might also be that some ancient monster of modern times has taken all the "Qi" for its own cultivation.

Yu Lin thinks—most likely the Tai Xu Existence intervened!

Because the original name of Tai Xu is: Tai Xu Unity Dao.

In detail: "Tai Xu is formless, the Qi Zhi Bentti," which is the Lian Shen Huan Xu.

Anyone who has seen that Qi Zhi Bentti should understand.

They can use Qi to perform numerous divine powers.

Each of them is comparable to a Heavenly Authority Human World embodiment, or rather, a conglomerate of several weakened versions of the Heavenly Authority.

Because they have already grasped some rules.

For example, with a mere gesture they can summon thunder by employing Thunder Qi, though the power is far below that of a person who has entered Tai Xu and awakened the Thunder Authority.

Yet they are still more than a match for Awakeners of the He Zhen Realm.

Moreover, while calling forth thunder, they can also wield water, fire, and so on.

Yu Lin has studied the development history of Qi Refiners.

When Xu Fu first opened the path of Qi Refiner cultivation, even the strongest Qi Refiner was just that, and there was not even the great realm of Becoming Celestial Person.

Later, one by one, Heaven's Proud Sons paired with the Heavenly Authority forced their way up.

For example, the ring Yu Lin obtained—Human Defeats Heaven Ring.

It was a Qi Refiner who awakened this authority; when faced with a desperate situation, he forced a breakthrough in cultivation during battle, creating the Five Qi Realm!

As for the birth of the Tai Xu Realm, there are many rumors, and no definitive answer yet—better not to speak of it.

In short, this is the highest, most mysterious level of Qi Refiner.

Therefore Yu Lin reasonably suspects that some old Tai Xu monster has stored the "Qi" somewhere, perhaps in its body.

Maybe it wants to use the "Qi" to extend lifespan?

Who knows.

When Yu Lin's body became saturated, he stopped cultivating, stretched, and was about to return to the dormitory to check the time flow rate.

A slender figure flew in through the window:

"Yu kid, Yu kid, there really is a snake pressed under that tower!"

"Your cultivation isn't lacking; you've reached the Sun Wandering Realm."

Dragon Lord appeared before Yu Lin, gesturing with his claws.

"Dragon Lord, you've already come to see this today?" Yu Lin raised an eyebrow.

"Didn't do anything else?"

Dragon Lord waved his claws: "Of course I did."

"I went to the place where we met, and indeed it was blocked; there's no river there!"

"But that's nothing; guess what I discovered?"

"Hm?" Yu Lin showed a hint of interest:

"Discovered what? Not another Cauldron, I hope?"

"No, no, no." Dragon Lord placed both claws on his hips, lifted his head:

"I, Dragon Lord, am the only one of my kind!"

"I saw a fake taking my original spot, just staying there."

"It's like the fake you saw last time at the Antique Market, except after years of being nourished by 'Qi', it actually developed some abilities."

"If I were to use my full power, I'd probably need........."

It raised a claw:

"Just a flick of a finger would solve it, that's pretty impressive."

Yu Lin saw it seemingly praising the fake's strength while actually bragging about itself, and nodded:

"Yes, yes, Dragon Lord is the best, Dragon Lord is awesome."

"But can you tell who placed it there?"

"Or is it a historical correction?"

Dragon Lord spread his paws: "Can't tell."

"Just to state, it's not that I can't, it's that it's too weak; after a round of torture, it can't spit out any useful information."

"All it knows is that it should stay here for me."

"You think maybe an Awakened one with Time Authority is cleaning up for you?"

"Or perhaps… the hand of the master protecting you?"

"After all, if history makes some mistake… the blow to future generations would be catastrophic!"

"He doesn't love all beings, does he? He shouldn't want to see this happen."

"......... \" Yu Lin pondered for a moment, then shook his head:

"I don't know, maybe it was Jesus bro who made a move; after all, for him, creating the world is just asking the Holy Father, this Person, to act—something that can be finished in seven days."

"I don't know, maybe Brother Jesus intervened, after all for him, creation is just asking the Holy Father, a being who can finish it in seven days."

"But he smiled and said, 'Who knows, maybe future me will act?'"

【61】 "I went to the Antique Market, bought a random item and tossed it over there."

Don't think about these random things; first, just live well in the present.

That's right, first live well in the present, you kid see things quite clearly. Old Dragon nodded, then it directly flew into the Ding Pattern.

Quick, quick, quick—go check the time flow speed; who knows, maybe I can still squeeze in two games!

Alright.

Yu Lin nodded, and in the next moment he vanished.

He returned to the dormitory.

This time the time flow speed is a bit slower than it was back in Liu Bang's era.

Roughly equivalent to one modern day, three mythological months—time is quite plentiful, so take it slow.

Yu Lin was satisfied.

But Old Dragon looked displeased.

"Ah? Then I guess I won't be able to play games for a long time.........."

"Old Dragon, you can stay here; last time when I took leave, didn't I bring you to register? Now they're scrambling to treat you as a treasure, so you can play without worry!"

"I don't feel at ease about you."

Old Dragon looked at him: "What if your brother Jesus does something and doesn't have time to look after you—what then?"

"Since I'm going to follow you, then Old Dragon I'll just follow you properly!"

"Alright, alright, go back."

It didn't wait for Yu Lin to say anything else, and burrowed back into the Ding Pattern.

Seeing this, Yu Lin's lips curled up slightly:

"Old Dragon, your dragon is still pretty good."

"That's only natural; among the nine, my virtue ranks first—back then Old Yu even had me educate his people!"

"Impressive!"

After Yu Lin praised him again, his figure flashed and he returned to the mythic realm.
