Chapter 3 The Rise of the Two Supreme Beings of Lingxiao Against the World

After destroying the Qingfeng Sect, Li Xiao and Lin Yao became famous. However, they did not indulge in the thrill of revenge. Instead, they knew that the path of cultivation was like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind. After a short rest at the Tianji Pavilion, the two decided to leave to explore a wider world and pursue the supreme truth of the Great Dao.

They traveled south, having heard that deep within the endless sea lay a mysterious "Lingxiao Immortal Island," said to hold boundless treasures and long-lost cultivation techniques, attracting countless cultivators. However, the endless sea was fraught with danger, with raging waves, harsh weather, and various powerful sea beasts, making it rare for anyone to successfully reach the island.

Li Xiao and Lin Yao resolutely set sail towards the Endless Sea. They arrived at a small town by the sea, intending to purchase supplies for their voyage and a sturdy boat. In the town, they met an experienced old fisherman named Hai Bo. Upon hearing that they were heading to Lingxiao Immortal Island, Hai Bo kindly warned them of the dangers involved and shared his experience and tips for navigating the seas.

Li Xiao and Lin Yao were extremely grateful, and they invited Haibo to join them on their sea voyage as their guide. Haibo hesitated for a moment, but was ultimately moved by their sincerity and agreed to their request.

On a bright and sunny morning, they steered their boat slowly towards the vast ocean. At first, the sea was calm, the sea breeze gently caressed the sails, and everything seemed so peaceful. But as they ventured deeper into the sea, the waves began to surge, the wind howled, and the boat rocked violently in the surf.

Lin Yao gripped the ship's railing tightly, her face pale, but her eyes remained resolute. Li Xiao, meanwhile, used his spiritual power to stabilize the vessel while vigilantly observing their surroundings. Suddenly, a gigantic octopus-like sea monster leaped from the seabed, its tentacles coiling towards the ship like giant pythons.

Li Xiao's eyes sharpened. Holding the Lingxiao Sword, he unleashed a sword technique from the "Lingxiao True Scripture," a fierce sword aura slashing towards the octopus sea beast's tentacles. The octopus sea beast, in pain, roared and launched an even more frenzied attack. Lin Yao, enduring her discomfort, also cast a water-attribute spell, shooting ice shards at the octopus sea beast in an attempt to freeze its movements.

With their close cooperation, the octopus-like sea monster was gradually driven back. But before they could even catch their breath, another group of shark-like sea monsters swarmed towards the ship. These shark-like sea monsters were extremely fast, with teeth as sharp as knives. They kept ramming the ship, making it teeter on the brink of capsizing.

Undeterred, Li Xiao and Lin Yao continued their desperate battle against the sea monsters. Li Xiao unleashed his full power, his swordsmanship growing increasingly fierce, each swing of the Lingxiao Sword drawing forth a spray of blood. Lin Yao provided full support from the side, her magic becoming ever more proficient, her water-attribute spiritual energy creating waves on the sea surface, sweeping some sharks and sea monsters into the depths.

After a fierce battle, they finally escaped the siege of the sharks and sea monsters. However, the ship was now badly damaged, and they had to dock on a deserted island for repairs.

On the deserted island, they repaired their boat while searching for spiritual fruits and herbs to replenish their spiritual and physical strength. The island appeared peaceful, but in reality, it concealed many dangers. Once, while searching for timber, Li Xiao accidentally triggered a hidden array trap. Instantly, a swarm of enormous poisonous bees appeared, their stingers gleaming coldly.

Li Xiao quickly dodged, simultaneously using his spiritual power to defend against the poisonous bees' attacks. Hearing the commotion, Lin Yao rushed to their aid. She cast a spell, creating a mist to obscure the bees' vision, and then, together with Li Xiao, carefully retreated from the trap area.

After several days of hard work, they finally repaired the ship and set off again for Lingxiao Immortal Island. As they drew closer to the island, the dangers of the sea grew increasingly severe. One day, they encountered a sudden sea storm; the raging winds, torrential rain, and lightning turned the entire sea into a scene of hell.

The ship was nearly capsized in the storm. Li Xiao and Lin Yao clung tightly to the mast, struggling to maintain the vessel's balance. Hai Bo shouted commands from the sidelines, and they tried various methods to weather the crisis. At the height of the storm, a bolt of lightning struck the ship. Li Xiao reacted quickly, conjuring a spiritual shield to block the lightning's attack, but he suffered internal injuries in the process, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, Lin Yao was extremely anxious. She quickly channeled her spiritual energy to heal Li Xiao while simultaneously using magic to stabilize the ship. With their combined efforts, they finally weathered the storm, and at this moment, they could faintly see the outline of Lingxiao Immortal Island in the distance.

As they approached the immortal island, they discovered it was surrounded by a powerful barrier, preventing their ships from getting close. Li Xiao and Lin Yao decided to abandon ship and use their spiritual power to fly towards the island. During their journey through the barrier, they felt an immense pressure, as if it would crush their bodies. But they gritted their teeth, and with unwavering willpower and powerful spiritual energy, they successfully broke through the barrier and set foot on the land of Lingxiao Immortal Island.

The spiritual energy within the immortal island was so dense it was almost tangible, with various rare spiritual herbs and trees scattered everywhere, radiating a dazzling array of colors. Li Xiao and Lin Yao were awestruck by the beautiful scenery before them, but they also knew that many dangers must be lurking here.

They proceeded cautiously, avoiding hidden traps and guardian beasts along the way. Deep within the immortal island, they discovered an ancient palace. The palace gates were tightly shut, covered with mysterious runes. Li Xiao carefully studied these runes and discovered that they seemed to conceal a mechanism to open the gates.

Relying on his understanding of runes and keen insight, he began to try to decipher the mechanism. After some effort, the door slowly opened, and an ancient and mysterious aura rushed out. The palace was empty, except for a book that emitted a golden light, placed on a stone platform in the center—the "Spiritual Firmament Divine Scripture".

Li Xiao and Lin Yao approached the stone platform, about to pick up the books, when suddenly the surrounding space distorted, and an illusion of an old man dressed in white appeared. The old man had a kind face, but his eyes revealed an air of majesty. He claimed to be the guardian of Lingxiao Immortal Island and also the guardian of the "Lingxiao Divine Scripture," and that only by passing his test could one obtain the scripture's inheritance.

Li Xiao and Lin Yao accepted the test without hesitation. The first test was the "Lingxiao Illusion," where they were transported to a virtual world where they had to face various temptations and inner struggles. Li Xiao saw himself as the overlord of the cultivation world, possessing endless wealth and beautiful women—all of which would be his if he abandoned his pursuit of the Great Dao. But thinking of his past with Lin Yao and his unwavering dedication to cultivation, he resolutely rejected the temptation.

Lin Yao witnessed Li Xiao's tragic death in battle, and she was devastated, almost falling into despair. But she knew it was just an illusion, and she was determined to persevere and achieve their dream together with Li Xiao. Ultimately, they both successfully passed the illusion's test.

Next came the second test – the "Lingxiao Sword Formation." They needed to endure for the duration of an incense stick's burning within a sword formation formed from condensed spiritual energy. Within the formation, sword energy crisscrossed, each strike possessing immense destructive power. Li Xiao and Lin Yao supported each other, using all their skills to defend against the sword attacks. Li Xiao utilized the agile movement techniques of the *Lingxiao True Scripture* to weave through the formation, skillfully avoiding fatal attacks while simultaneously shattering sword energy that approached Lin Yao with the Lingxiao Sword. Under Li Xiao's protection, Lin Yao used magic to provide him with spiritual energy support and defensive enhancements.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they successfully passed the sword formation test. The guardian of Lingxiao was very satisfied with their performance. He handed the "Lingxiao Divine Scripture" to Li Xiao and Lin Yao, telling them that this divine scripture was an unparalleled cultivation technique created by the Lingxiao Emperor. It contained the Emperor's profound understanding and insights into the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. He hoped that they could cultivate it well and inherit the Emperor's mantle.

Li Xiao and Lin Yao were extremely grateful. They accepted the divine scripture and began to study it diligently. During the cultivation of the *Lingxiao Divine Scripture*, their bodies underwent miraculous changes. Their spiritual power became more abundant and pure, and their perception of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became more acute. Their cultivation level also continuously improved, gradually breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, achieving a qualitative leap in strength.

However, just as they were preparing to leave Lingxiao Immortal Island, they were attacked by a group of mysterious figures. These figures were shrouded in black robes, obscuring their faces, and possessed immense strength and remarkable teamwork.

Li Xiao and Lin Yao immediately became alert, unleashing their full power to fight the mysterious figure. Li Xiao's Lingxiao Sword Technique was incredibly powerful, each strike slicing through the air with a whistling sound. Lin Yao's water-attribute magic also proved highly effective; she created patches of icy mist that enveloped the mysterious figure, restricting their movements.

But the mysterious figures seemed to have anticipated their attack, constantly changing formations and launching fierce counterattacks. During the battle, Li Xiao noticed that the mysterious figures' fighting styles were somewhat familiar, seemingly related to the Blood Fiend Sect he had encountered before.

After a fierce exchange, Li Xiao and Lin Yao gradually gained the upper hand. Seizing their opportunity, they launched a fatal attack. Li Xiao unleashed the ultimate move "Lingxiao Annihilation Break" from the "Lingxiao Divine Scripture," a sword aura containing destructive power slashing towards the mysterious figure. Lin Yao, meanwhile, used "Water Spirit Chaos Calamity" from the side, fusing water-attribute spiritual power with chaotic power to form a powerful destructive force, complementing Li Xiao's attack.

Under the combined attack of the two, the mysterious figures finally succumbed and fled. Although Li Xiao and Lin Yao successfully repelled the enemy, they also realized that many unknown forces in this cultivation world were secretly watching them. They had to work even harder to improve their strength in order to meet the challenges ahead.

After leaving Lingxiao Immortal Island, Li Xiao and Lin Yao returned to Tianji Pavilion and shared their experiences with Qingxuan Danzun and the others. Their increased strength and the inheritance they had received once again shocked and delighted everyone in Tianji Pavilion. The pavilion's higher-ups decided to allow them to cultivate in seclusion for a period to consolidate their cultivation, while also providing them with more cultivation resources and guidance.

During their seclusion, Li Xiao and Lin Yao devoted themselves entirely to cultivating the "Lingxiao Divine Scripture," constantly exploring its mysteries and improving their strength. After a period of secluded cultivation, their cultivation became more stable, and their understanding of the "Lingxiao Divine Scripture" deepened.

However, the situation in the cultivation world is becoming increasingly tense. Although the Blood Fiend Sect was severely damaged by the allied forces, it was not completely wiped out. They are secretly gathering strength, attempting to make a comeback. At the same time, some other evil forces are also beginning to stir, committing atrocities and harming innocent people in various places.

Upon learning this news, Li Xiao and Lin Yao decided to step forward once again. In order to maintain peace and tranquility in the cultivation world, they led the disciples of Tianji Pavilion and, together with experts from other righteous sects, formed a powerful coalition to begin the encirclement and suppression of evil forces in various places.

In a series of fierce battles, Li Xiao and Lin Yao repeatedly distinguished themselves with their formidable strength and seamless teamwork. Their names once again became symbols of justice and power in the cultivation world, striking fear into the hearts of evil forces.

But they also knew that these evil forces were only temporarily suppressed, and that much more effort was needed to truly achieve peace and tranquility in the cultivation world. They continued their journey, constantly exploring unknown territories, improving their strength, and engaging in thrilling battles against the evil forces. Their legendary stories were sung throughout the cultivation world, inspiring countless cultivators to fight tirelessly for justice and their dreams.
