After becoming a Taoist partner with my senior sister, my master changed

"Does the world species have other characteristics?"

Lin Chuan frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on You Huan.

"Um……"

You Huan pondered for a moment and said, "My husband said that when the World Seed sprouted, in order to ensure that the cultivator's body could accommodate it, a mist would be created to temper the cultivator's body."

"..."

Lin Chuan looked into You Huan's eyes, remained silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Does Daoist You Huan love your husband very much?"

You Huan was slightly stunned, then sighed softly, turned his gaze to Lin Chuan, and said meaningfully: "I don't love you very much. On the long journey of immortality, I just want to find a companion for the great way."

"If what Fellow Daoist Youhuan said is true, I think the tree in my body should be the World Tree." Lin Chuan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly.

"..."

You Huan was stunned again, and then seemed to react, with a greedy look on his face: "Fellow Daoist, can you give it to me? I am willing to pay any price!"

"Fellow Daoist Youhuan, you didn't seem to mention that this World Tree can be transferred, right?" Lin Chuan said meaningfully.

"..."

You Huan was silent for a moment, then explained, "What I mean is, if this World Tree is truly transferable, could you please transfer it to me?"

"This tree is now closely connected to my imperial base. If I forcibly remove it from my body, it will probably damage the foundation of my cultivation." Lin Chuan said helplessly with an apologetic look on his face.

"This……"

Youhuan opened his mouth, with obvious hesitation on his face.

"I see that it's not easy for Fellow Daoist Youhuan to seek the Tao. How about this, let's have a fight. If you win, this tree will belong to you. How about it?" Lin Chuan was filled with fighting spirit.

"I cultivate the way of imprisonment, and I am not good at fighting..."

Youhuan was about to refuse, but saw Lin Chuan had already stood up and punched her directly.

"bundle!"

Youhuan's dark brows suddenly furrowed, and he quickly uttered a great truth.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chuan's figure was instantly frozen in place, but in just a short moment, Youhuan's figure had retreated hundreds of miles away, avoiding the edge of the punch.

"Fellow……"

You Huan wanted to say something more, but she saw Lin Chuan coming at her again, holding a black and white sword. However, before the sword reached her, a fine bloodstain appeared on her neck.

"town!"

Youhuan quickly raised his hand and pressed it lightly, shouting softly, and Lin Chuan's forward figure suddenly stopped again.

"Fellow Daoist, I don't want that World Tree! Please show mercy!"

You Huan spoke hurriedly, his tone filled with panic and pleading.

"Fellow Daoist Youhuan is too modest. Although the killing power of your Dao of Confinement is slightly weaker, but with this Dao, I really have no way to deal with you." Lin Chuan moved and attacked Youhuan again.

"Fellow Daoist, your Yin-Yang Dao is both offensive and defensive. Furthermore, you hold that imperial-grade longsword inhabited by two sword spirits. If this stalemate continues, I'm afraid I'll die here sooner or later."

"You and I have no grudges against each other. If you are worried that I will leak the news of the World Tree, I am willing to swear a solemn oath on my own great way that I will never tell anyone!" Youhuan said anxiously while retreating quickly.

However, Lin Chuan seemed not to hear her words. Instead of slowing down his attack, his moves became more fierce and fiercer.

In the independent space created by Lin Chuan using the Yin and Yang method, a relentless chase began.

After an unknown amount of time, You Huan finally stopped. Blood was oozing from the corner of her mouth, and her breathing had become extremely disordered. She raised her eyes and looked coldly at Lin Chuan, who was holding a sword against her vitals. The previous panic in her eyes was gone, leaving only a coldness.

Her original intention was to tell Lin Chuan the secrets concerning the Immortal Emperor and then leave. However, she had never expected that during the conversation, Lin Chuan would repeatedly take the initiative in the conversation, disrupting her rhythm step by step and completely derailing her original plan.

"In that case..."

Youhuan's figure suddenly became illusory and eventually disappeared completely.

Seeing this, Lin Chuan immediately looked around, but suddenly discovered that the space originally created by the Yin and Yang had disappeared, and he found himself in a vast and unfamiliar starry sky, surrounded by endless stars and darkness.

"Since you keep forcing me, fellow Daoist, let's die together!"

Youhuan's icy words echoed in the vast starry sky. There was no source, but the entire starry sky was filled with a bit of dead coldness.

"What exactly is your purpose?" Lin Chuan asked softly, looking at the empty starry sky.

But what responded to him was not Youhuan's voice, but three majestic imperial powers.

Three powerful Immortal Emperors of the ninth level with unfathomable auras suddenly appeared beside him and surrounded him.

"It's not too late to turn back." The leader held the golden scroll in his hand, his tone solemn, and every word was full of admonition.

"Put down your butcher knife." Another person held the Buddhist beads in his palm, twisting them lightly with his fingertips, his voice full of compassion.

"The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao." The last man carried a long sword on his back, his eyes were indifferent, and his words were filled with the mysterious Tao rhyme.

"You know, I'm not afraid of these three Immortal Emperors even if they are not projections." Lin Chuan shook his head slowly.

There is a huge difference between the Immortal Emperor who is appointed by heaven and the Immortal Emperor who breaks through the shackles by relying on his own great way.

The nine minor realms mentioned by the former do not exist at all for the latter. In the eyes of those who truly become emperors through the Tao, the Immortal Emperor is just the Immortal Emperor.

"So what? If you want to kill me, I will use my own avenue to trap you here and kill you! If you want to leave, you must completely destroy my avenue. Even if you really have the ability to do so, with your current realm, it may take ten thousand years to achieve it!"

Youhuan's cold voice echoed in the empty starry sky, and every word was filled with determination.

"realm……"

Lin Chuan frowned slightly, and a flash of inspiration seemed to come to his mind. Just as he was about to concentrate on thinking about the key that flashed by, the three ninth-level Immortal Emperors beside him had already taken action.

The golden scroll unfolded with flowing light, the Buddhist beads emitted Sanskrit sounds, and the long sword was unsheathed with a gust of wind. Three attacks came towards him almost at the same time.

……

Qingluan Continent, the holy land of all living beings.

A whole year has passed since the gray mist dissipated.

The girls still waited for Lin Chuan's return day after day, but their beloved never showed up.

At first, they could comfort each other by saying that "the journey to the fairyland is long and they might be delayed along the way" and suppress their worries in their hearts.

But as time went by, that self-comfort gradually couldn't hold up, and an indescribable uneasiness quietly spread in the hearts of the girls and could not be shaken off.

Fortunately, although they did not wait for Lin Chuan, they waited for an unexpected good thing.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth suddenly surged overnight. Judging from the perception of Qing Shu and others, the concentration of spiritual energy at this moment has reached the level of the fairyland.

So, the girls gathered together and discussed it carefully, and finally made a decision that when all of them had cultivated to the immortal realm, they would set out together to the immortal world to find Lin Chuan's whereabouts.

……

After an unknown amount of time, the starry sky where Lin Chuan was located finally could not withstand the aftermath of the continuous battle.

The formerly twinkling stars all shattered, the dazzling starry sky vanished into nothingness, leaving only a dead and silent ruin with no grass growing, without even a glimmer of light to be found.

He won the battle after all, and the figures of the three ninth-level Immortal Emperors had disappeared without a trace, but he himself was still trapped in this dead and silent starry sky ruins, unable to find a way out.

"I've always been curious about why Daoist Youhuan, who has no connection to me, shared so many secrets with me. It wasn't until Daoist Youhuan mentioned the word 'realm' that I was inadvertently enlightened.

"You want to lead me to a breakthrough to a realm above the Immortal Emperor, right?"

Lin Chuan looked at the endless thick darkness in front of him, holding the Emperor Sword tightly in his hand.

There was no response in the thick darkness, only the silent spread of deathly silence.

"But why did you guide me to break through to a realm above the Immortal Emperor? And why did you deliberately reveal the matter of the World Tree to me?"

Lin Chuan's voice was particularly clear in the dead silence, "Fellow Daoist Youhuan, you want me to use the power of the World Tree to reach a realm above the Immortal Emperor, right?"

In this dead and silent starry sky that has turned into ruins, there is still no response.

"But why do you insist on leading me to a realm higher than the Immortal Emperor? Aren't you afraid that once I truly reach that realm, all your schemes will be completely ineffective? This can only mean that you have a way to control me, right? Is it that World Tree?"

Lin Chuan paused, his gaze growing sharper in the darkness. "I still remember that when you first spoke of your husband, the sincerity in your eyes didn't seem fake, but when I asked if you loved him very much, you deliberately lied. It seems you didn't want me to think about your husband. In other words, that tree is related to your husband, right?

Even though he never got any response, Lin Chuan's guess became clearer and clearer. The previous doubts were connected one by one at this moment, gradually outlining the outline of the answer.
