Chapter 296 The Mysterious Golden Finger
Low growls echoed intermittently from the surrounding woods, as if ferocious beasts were lurking in the shadows; eerie lights flickered in the grass, perhaps from some deadly poison. But Lin Yu felt no fear whatsoever; instead, a strange excitement welled up within him, his eyes gleaming with a burning light, as if he were seeing a whole new world beckoning to him.
With the mysterious cheat ability he gained from his time travel—the Eye of Spiritual Sense—he could easily see through the essence of all things and the flaws in cultivation methods. This Eye of Spiritual Sense was like his third eye; when he used it, a faint golden light would emanate from it, and everything he saw would become transparent. In this valley, he found an ancient cultivation manual. The manual was placed in a hidden cave, surrounded by numerous traps and restrictions. But Lin Yu, with his Eye of Spiritual Sense, easily broke through these obstacles. The pages of the manual were yellowed, exuding an ancient aura, and the words on them seemed to possess a mysterious magic, attracting Lin Yu. With his exceptional comprehension and the assistance of his Eye of Spiritual Sense, he broke through to the first level of Qi Refining in just a few days. The moment he successfully broke through, he could feel a warm current flowing through his meridians; his strength was much greater than before, and his body became lighter and more agile.
As his cultivation level increased, Lin Yu decided to leave the valley and explore a wider world. He traveled along the valley path, carefully avoiding various dangers along the way. Finally, he arrived at a gathering place for cultivators called Qingyun City. This city was magnificent and spectacular, with towering walls reaching into the clouds and gates inlaid with various precious gems that shimmered dazzlingly in the sunlight. The city was bustling with people, and the cultivators wore all sorts of clothing, some in gorgeous robes, others in light and practical attire. Here, he encountered a group of arrogant and spoiled young masters who were surrounding a weak female cultivator, hurling vulgarities and grinning maliciously. The female cultivator was terrified, tears welling in her eyes, her body trembling. Without hesitation, Lin Yu stepped forward, his eyes filled with anger and a sense of justice. He circulated his spiritual energy, instantly raising his cultivation level to the fifth level of Qi Refining, and a powerful aura emanated from him. The spoiled young masters, sensing Lin Yu's imposing aura, were initially taken aback, then revealed disdain. However, they quickly paid the price for their underestimation. Lin Yu, like a tiger among sheep, easily defeated these spoiled brats, utterly thrashing them. The female cultivator was moved to tears, looking at Lin Yu with eyes full of reverence, repeatedly expressing her gratitude. Lin Yu thus became acquainted with her. It turned out the female cultivator's name was Su Yao, a disciple of a small family. She was beautiful with delicate features, and although dressed simply, she possessed a refined and ethereal气质 (qi zhi - a kind of refined elegance/aura).
To repay Lin Yu for saving her life, Su Yao invited him to visit her family. Within Su Yao's family, Lin Yu displayed astonishing talent and strength. He helped the family solve many problems, from doubts about their cultivation techniques to vulnerabilities in their defensive formations; he could easily resolve them using his spiritual eye and his knowledge. His arrival was like a spring breeze, bringing vitality and hope to the family. The elders praised him highly and bestowed upon him generous rewards, including precious cultivation resources and rare magical treasures. But Lin Yu's ambitions extended far beyond this. He knew his path to immortality was long and he couldn't be bound by his current small achievements. Therefore, he bid farewell to the Su family and continued his solitary journey.
During an adventure, he unexpectedly entered a mysterious ruin. The ruin was permeated with a mystical atmosphere; ancient buildings were scattered in a disorderly fashion, and the walls were covered with various mysterious runes and patterns. It was filled with traps and mechanisms; every step could be a life-or-death test. Lin Yu explored cautiously, using his spiritual eye to avoid danger time and time again. Deep within the ruin, after undergoing numerous trials, he finally obtained a peerless magical treasure—the Chaos Green Lotus. This Chaos Green Lotus emitted a soft light, and each of its petals seemed to be composed of the purest energy. This magical treasure possessed immense power, capable of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. After Lin Yu refined it, he could clearly feel the surrounding spiritual energy surging towards him like rivers flowing into the sea, greatly increasing his cultivation speed.
With the help of the Chaos Green Lotus and his own hard work, Lin Yu's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, quickly reaching the Golden Core Realm. At a grand gathering in the cultivation world, experts from all walks of life gathered, eager to showcase their skills and compete for honor and precious prizes. Lin Yu also arrived, dressed in white robes, his elegant demeanor making him stand out in the crowd. Once the competition began, he swept aside all the experts with unparalleled skill. His spells were exquisite, each move imbued with immense power. His figure moved across the arena like lightning, defeating his opponents wherever he went. His name quickly spread throughout the cultivation world after the event, making him an object of universal admiration.
Various sects extended olive branches to him, their envoys arriving with generous gifts and tempting offers. Some sects promised him the best cultivation resources, while others were willing to make him a core disciple, granting him unparalleled glory. However, Lin Yu remained unmoved; he had his own ideals and ambitions. He decided to establish his own sect—the Star Pavilion—where he would recruit disciples, impart his cultivation methods, and cultivate a group of like-minded cultivators. He carefully selected a location rich in spiritual energy and with a treacherous terrain as the sect's headquarters and began recruiting disciples. His reputation attracted countless young cultivators to apply, from whom he selected those with talent and virtue. Under his meticulous guidance, the disciples of the Star Pavilion made rapid progress in their cultivation, and the sect gradually rose to prominence under Lin Yu's leadership, becoming a powerful force in the cultivation world. The sect's architecture was magnificent, featuring halls for cultivation, pavilions for storing scriptures, and arenas for competitions. Lin Yu also broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm and the Divine Transformation Realm through continuous cultivation and battles. With each breakthrough, he could feel his connection with heaven and earth becoming closer and his power becoming stronger.
Ultimately, Lin Yu successfully ascended to the Immortal Realm, his ascension triggering extraordinary celestial phenomena. Auspicious, multicolored clouds appeared in the sky, celestial music filled the air, as if the entire world was celebrating for him. Standing amidst the light of his ascension, he resembled a god descending to earth. In the Immortal Realm, through his strength and wisdom, he became an invincible Celestial Venerable, revered by all. His deeds spread throughout the cultivation world and the Immortal Realm, becoming an immortal legend of cultivation, inspiring countless cultivators to pursue even higher realms.
Li Yunfei, an ordinary college student, led a life as monotonous and repetitive as most of his peers. He spent his days engrossed in online novels and games, passing countless boring days in the virtual world. His dormitory room was piled high with game merchandise and novels, and his computer screen was always flashing with game images. He sat in his chair, his eyes glued to the screen, as if it were his entire world. However, an unexpected electric shock, like a sudden alarm bell tolled by the god of fate, dramatically changed his destiny.
When Li Yunfei opened his eyes again, he found himself in a strange world. He was surrounded by verdant mountains and clear waters. The mountains soared into the clouds, stretching endlessly, their trees lush and verdant, each leaf like a meticulously carved piece of jade, shimmering with a vibrant green light under the sunlight. Below the mountains lay a crystal-clear lake, its waters like a giant mirror, reflecting the sky and the peaks. A rich spiritual energy permeated the air, seemingly alive, surrounding him and gently caressing his skin, giving him a tingling sensation. He realized he had transmigrated, and into a world of cultivation! This discovery thrilled him; a flame burned within him. He knew his opportunity had arrived; a brand new, fantastical life was beckoning him.
Li Yunfei began exploring this world, following a winding path with eyes full of curiosity. Soon, he encountered a kind cultivator. This cultivator wore a green robe, had a kind face, and exuded a gentle aura. Seeing Li Yunfei's exceptional talent, he took pity on him and decided to teach him some basic cultivation methods. He led Li Yunfei to a secluded valley, where he began patiently instructing him.
