Chapter 775: Chapter 387 Immortal Visitor
For about a hundred years, Lin Yi had been imparting the Dao to the outstanding disciples of various clans, planting seeds of the Dao deep within their hearts. If the demon race were to launch a large-scale assault in the future, these individuals would become the backbone in resisting the onslaught.
During this period, he also contemplated whether to reveal his true identity to Xu Yu Rou, Master Golden Sword, and others.
But after some thought, he decided to keep it hidden for the time being. Knowing his identity now would not benefit Xu Yu Rou and the others; moreover, the complex nature of the human race meant that knowing too much could actually be harmful.
In the century of imparting the Dao, some of the sixty outstanding disciples from various clans who faced bottlenecks all achieved breakthroughs, making their clans eagerly await his next session of teaching.
Lin Yi had no immediate plans to continue with the teachings. After completing this round, he entered a state of seclusion to meditate on his own Grand Path of Creation.
Before his retreat, the Serpent Demon Ancestor requested a meeting, and he did not refuse. He visited Big Monster City and met with it.
Over a hundred years had passed since their last meeting, and the decay on the Serpent Demon Ancestor’s body had intensified. Based on this, he could infer that within three hundred years, it would reach the end of its life and its Dao would dissipate.
After the meeting, the Serpent Demon Ancestor laughed and greeted with a fist salute, “Dragon friend, it has been a century since we’ve met, and you seem somewhat different now.”
“Pang friend flatters me. If there’s anything you wish to discuss, please do not hesitate to speak. There’s no need for courtesy,” Lin Yi responded with a fist salute, having gained some insights himself in the process of imparting the Dao and blessings to the various clans’ offsprings.
The Serpent Demon Ancestor wasted no further politeness, speaking directly, “My lifespan is not much longer, so I’ll be straightforward. I wonder if you, friend Dao, would still conduct the teachings given my current condition.”
Lin Yi smiled; such is human nature. If one could live longer, nobody would choose death. “Friend Pang, you once taught me, so I will certainly reciprocate this karmic debt. You have two choices: one is that I help you increase your lifespan by several hundred years; the second is, I repay the karmic debt to the outstanding disciples of the Serpent Clan.”
If the Serpent Demon Ancestor had done any humane deeds in the past, such as preventing the Fox Clan from tormenting White Painting, he would have considered paying a price to grant it the enlightenment of the Dao; perhaps it would even have a chance to Cross Tribulation and ascend to the Immortal Realm.
Regrettably, as the Monster Ancestor of its kind, it cared only for the interests of its own Serpent lineage, and the Serpent Region within Big Monster City became a haven for filth and corruption.
Its actions did not deserve him to pay a cost or waste the precious Golden Qi of Creation on it; at most, he would settle this karmic debt with a few hundred years of added lifespan.
However, to the Serpent Demon Ancestor, these few hundred years were equivalent to nothing; it would not be able to succeed in Crossing Tribulation on its own strength. It was now up to the Serpent Demon Ancestor to choose whether it wanted to live a bit longer or leave some blessings for the Serpent Clan.
The Serpent Demon Ancestor showed difficulty on its face, and after pondering, it said with a fist salute, “Those clansmen with kind hearts have already joined the Holy Sect. The rest, who are incorrigible and perpetually wicked, need not be looked after by you. I choose to settle this karmic debt myself.”
Hearing these words, Lin Yi was not surprised in the slightest, knowing from the start that the Serpent Demon Ancestor was an extremely selfish being. “Very well, then I shall increase your lifespan by several hundred years.”
He nodded, placed his hand on the Serpent Demon Ancestor’s shoulder, and the Golden Qi of Creation, along with the Primordial Chaos Energy, entered its body, transforming into pure life energy. This instantly filled it with vitality, significantly reducing the decay.
A glimmer of joy appeared on the Serpent Demon Ancestor’s face, feeling powerful energy coursing through its entire being, wondering whether this added life energy might help to successfully overcome the Heavenly Tribulation in the future.
After completing the increase, Lin Yi withdrew his palm and slowly stated, “I have added four hundred years to your lifespan, and with the two hundred years you have left, you now have six hundred years remaining.”
“Thank you, Dragon friend, for your immense grace and virtue, unforgettable as long as I live,” the Serpent Demon Ancestor gave a deep fist salute, its heart filled with awe. Unbeknownst to it, Long Ao, who once addressed it as a senior, now possessed the formidable capability to extend another’s lifespan.
It felt that Long Ao’s identity was surely not as simple as that of a True Dragon Descendant; perhaps he was an Immortal True Dragon.
“No need for thanks. This is repayment for the guidance you once offered me. I take my leave,” Lin Yi waved his hand. After all, he had benefited quite a bit from the Serpent Demon Ancestor, and today he had settled their karmic debt.
Now, he could see that the karmic thread between him and the Serpent Demon Ancestor had turned into an ordinary white color.
After speaking, his figure disappeared within Big Monster City, returning to the Holy Sect to begin his seclusion and the contemplation of his Grand Path of Creation.
As for the Serpent Demon Ancestor, feeling the powerful strength in its body, it started preparing for one last struggle; if it could transcend the Heavenly Tribulation, it would ascend to the Immortal Realm. If not, there would be no regrets.
Those outstanding disciples from various clans who had received Lin Yi’s teachings also entered the state of seclusion upon their return, to contemplate the teachings they had received from him.
In his teachings, Lin Yi gave Xu Yu Rou, Master Golden Sword, and Chen Huanyu the most special guidance, imparting the Dao to them separately and bestowing them with some creation.
Especially for Xu Yu Rou, who, while at the Liu Yun Sect in the Lower Realm, had received his teachings and had her insightfulness increased, but her Spiritual Root had not changed. Now, he had transformed Xu Yu Rou’s Lower-grade Spiritual Roots into something even superior to the finest.
