Chapter 169
Lin Shu and Ling Baiyu lived in an era when spiritual Qi was rapidly dissipating, and Lin Zhengyang and the rest\'s cultivation base had fallen from the peak of the Saint Realm to the middle stage.
More specifically, Lin Shu, the reincarnation of Taichu Lin Tian, was becoming weaker as time passed while on the other hand, Ling Baiyu emerged as an exceptionally gifted individual.
It took Ling Baiyu less than a decade to reach the Sage realm.
Due to the lack of spiritual Qi in these times, Ling Baiyu was considered the number one powerhouse on the Lingxuan Continent.
...
(Within the Light Beam of Resurrection)
Lin Shu walked out of the library hall.
He had grown into a handsome young man by now, however, his body was still frail, and his skin was abnormally pale-white.
He was pampered even more by Qin Xiaowan and Lin Zhengyang, as a result of his fragile state.
Because he liked reading books, they intentionally collected many books and built a library for him at home.
Lin Shu himself possessed exceptional talents in this field.
Although he had no talent for cultivation, he excelled at reading, painting, chess, piano, and many other things.
In fact, he had reached his zenith in almost all aspects despite only being a teenager.
Seeing this, Lin Zhengyang and Qin Xiaowan sighed countless times.
If Lin Shu had not been injured in his mother\'s womb, perhaps today he would be a peerless genius, the same as Ling Baiyu.
"The flowers on the mountain should be blooming soon. I\'ll have to take a look and make a painting."
Lin Shu left the library hall muttering in his heart, and headed toward a mountain nearby.
…
Likewise, Ling Baiyu, who had reached adulthood, had a flawless face and her hair was tied in a ponytail.
At the moment, she was cultivating in a cave enveloped by a formation filled with numerous treasures from Heaven and Earth.
These Heaven and Earth treasures constantly released spiritual Qi, which assisted Ling Baiyu\'s cultivation.
In terms of spiritual Qi concentration, this cave contained a much stronger concentration than outside.
In fact, this cave was specially created for Ling Baiyu by Immortal powerhouses like Lin Zhengyang.
In order to avoid wasting spiritual Qi and interfering with Ling Baiyu\'s cultivation, Lin Zhengyang and the other experts rarely entered this cave.
The seven stars hung above Ling Baiyu\'s body continuously absorbed spiritual Qi from the cave, which was then converted into a light beam and channeled into her body.
As a result of absorbing these light beams, Ling Baiyu\'s figure became more vivid.
Soon, an aura of the Immortal Realm emanated from her body.
"Is this the Immortal Realm?" Upon opening her eyes, Ling Baiyu revealed a delighted expression on her face.
She had almost reached the Immortal Realm.
She was confident that she would be able to make a breakthrough into the immortal realm in just a few days.
However, it didn\'t take long before her expression returned to her previous tranquility.
With age, her cultivation realm grew.
In addition to her current situation, Ling Baiyu knew that stepping into the Immortal realm was an immense joy for many cultivators. But for her, who carried everyone\'s hopes, making a breakthrough into the immortal realm was just the beginning.
After all, the fifth-generation Heavenly Emperor stood at the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm.
He had led a hundred immortal realm experts to activate that supreme treasure, the Bronze Gate, together, and had failed to seal the Traces of Heaven.
In the end, he was crushed into nothingness by those ancient cultivators.
As a result, she had to surpass all others, even the Fifth Heavenly Emperor, and become the Eternal Realm cultivator.
This would be her only way to seal the Traces of Heaven.
The burden Ling Baiyu carried made her heart heavy.
Her eyes flickered with a bit of confusion.
"White Bird, what are you upset about?" Just as Ling Baiyu was sitting dazed, a clear voice suddenly rang in her ears.
Hearing this voice, Ling Baiyu\'s exquisite face lit up and she responded with a smile, "Nerd, you should care about yourself first."
Despite her stern tone, Ling Baiyu still got up and walked toward the cave\'s entrance.
Since Ling Baiyu dedicated her life to cultivation, she found it difficult to make friends.
The only friend she had was Lin Shu.
Nowadays, Ling Baiyu wasn\'t allowed to leave the cave at will.
After all, once she left, her body would be drained of spiritual Qi, and her realm would fall dramatically.
As a consequence, she was left with no choice but to walk to the cave\'s entrance and look at Lin Shu standing outside.
He handed the basket to Ling Baiyu and sat down on his knees before saying, "This is the dessert I brought you. How about you taste it?”
After Ling Baiyu casually accepted the basket, she asked, "Where are Uncle Lin and Aunt Qin? Why haven\'t I seen them recently?"
Lin Shu shook his head and replied, "I haven\'t seen them either. I think they are out of town."
Hearing his words, Ling Baiyu fell silent.
To be honest, she had already guessed that Lin Zhengyang and Qin Xiaowan had left the city, probably to search for treasures of Heaven and Earth.
Since Ling Baiyu\'s cultivation realm was advancing, Lin Zhengyang and the others were unable to support her cultivation with the current Heavenly treasures that they possessed.
Thus, Lin Zhengyang and the others have been traveling all these years collecting treasures from all over the world to provide Ling Baiyu with enough treasures for her cultivation.
Due to this, many of them died at the hands of these extra-terrestrial devils.
Two years ago, even Immortal Bi Hua, the one to first encounter Ling Baiyu, sustained severe injuries on her journey to collect treasures.
When Lin Shu noticed Ling Baiyu\'s gloomy expression, he immediately changed the subject with a smile, "My painting skills have grown a lot recently. Take a look at what I have painted."
After saying that, Lin Shu took out a pile of his paintings and handed them to Ling Baiyu.
Ling Baiyu held the paintings and after looking at them for a few moments, a smile spread across her face.
It was because the paintings Lin Shu had drawn clearly depicted a variety of stories.
Each of the stories was captivating, and Ling Baiyu couldn\'t help but be impressed by them.
"Nerd, for the sake of you giving me a painting of yours, I will also give you a present."
With a smile, Ling Baiyu reached out her hand and took out a tiny brush as she smiled.
There was no doubt that this tiny brush was the same tiny brush suspended within the light beam of resurrection.
…
Looking at herself giving the tiny brush within the light beam of resurrection, Ling Baiyu, who emanated the aura of the Goddess of war, looked a bit depressed at this moment.
"I only had one friend back then, Xiao Shu, and it was because of him that I kept pushing myself... However, he did not have any talent for cultivation, and eventually weakened his body and passed away."
Ling Baiyu actually showed up this time because she was considering asking God Taichu\'s help to resurrect Lin Shu after he had been resurrected.
But now, after knowing that Lin Shu was also Taichu\'s reincarnation, she wasn\'t only speechless, but also filled with anticipation.
Lin Shu was the reincarnation of Taichu Lin Tian.
Therefore, if Taichu Lin Tian were to be resurrected, wouldn\'t that mean Lin Shu would also be resurrected?
As she thought to herself, Ling Baiyu\'s eyes gleamed with excitement as she looked at the light beam of resurrection in front of her.
…
(Within the Light Beam of Resurrection)
After Lin Shu and Ling Baiyu spoke for more than an hour, they separated.
Ling Baiyu returned to the cave to resume her cultivation.
On the other hand, Lin Shu carried a pile of papers in a basket on his back and climbed to the top of a small mountain.
He then took out the tiny brush that Ling Baiyu had just given him, and then took out a few pieces of drawing paper.
Lin Shu\'s expression gradually changed to a solemn one.
He looked up at the scenery in front of him, quickly dabbed on various colors of paint, and began to draw.
As his painting skills had reached their peak, a picture of a majestic and dreamlike landscape appeared with his brush strokes.
Nevertheless, the next scene left everyone stunned.
