Chapter 772: Chapter 385: Giving the Opportunity for Enlightenment_2
“Because the bloodline you have awakened this time will greatly enhance you, you’ll fall into a deep sleep after the awakening. However, Zhi Ling and the others will take care of you until you wake up.”
All the Spirit Beasts agreed and left with light steps; Yuan Ba and Tiger Gate even walked out arm in arm, taking steps as if they recognized no relatives.
Several days later, Lin Yi conducted separate awakenings for White Painting and the others. White Painting had already become a Jiao Dragon, so this time he awakened some True Dragon bloodline. Although he couldn’t transform into a Dragon directly yet, he was not far from it.
Green Qin also transformed from a Green Python into a Jiao Dragon, awakening some True Dragon bloodline as well. As for the other Spirit Beasts like Yuan Ba, they awakened bloodlines corresponding to their species.
However, he didn’t forget about Golden Treasure. After returning to the Big Monster City and revealing his identity, Golden Treasure didn’t hesitate to bid farewell to the Rat Clan Demon Ancestor and head to the Holy Sect to undergo awakening.
After the awakening of the Spirit Beasts at the Spirit Beast Dojo, he also conducted awakenings for a few of the Holy Sect’s Holy Envoys. These were from the Demon Tribe that made significant contributions to the Holy Sect and had become kind-hearted after undergoing purification.
Of course, purification aside, the consequences of their past misdeeds would still linger with them until they faced retribution someday in the future.
In many worlds, good people don’t necessarily receive good rewards, and bad people don’t necessarily face retribution. Perhaps this is due to the absence of the Grand Path of Creation; this might be the origin of the Creation Method, progressing from receiving creation to perceiving and bestowing it, gradually forming one’s Grand Path of Creation, until eventually gaining control.
After the awakenings, Lin Yi’s Primordial Spirit enveloped the territories of both the Demon Clan and the Human race of the Spirit Profound Realm, announcing something. To express his gratitude for the help he received in this realm and to prepare for the impending major assault from the Demon race, he would select some exceptional disciples from both the Human race and Demon Tribe for training in the Holy Sect. This was to enhance their understanding of the Dao.
In the future, he would travel between the Demon and Human Tribes to determine the list of outstanding disciples eligible for training. There were no limits on the number of participants; as long as they were excellent and harbored kind thoughts, they all had the chance to listen.
Every being within the territories of the Human and Demon Tribes heard this statement and were immensely shocked. Had Senior Long Ao’s strength reached such a degree? His Primordial Spirit could easily cover the entire Spirit Profound Realm.
At the same time, many outstanding disciples from both the Human race and Demon Tribe were filled with anticipation. With the advent of the Immortal Realm and the True Dragon Descendant, even a sliver of knowledge could prove immensely beneficial to them.
What was even more exciting was that Senior Long Ao would personally travel between the two tribes to choose, not accepting any recommendations, which indicated fairness. Otherwise, disciples from major families would certainly spend a great deal to secure a spot on the recommendation list.
Consequently, countless Cultivators and members of the Demon Tribe began to cultivate diligently. Senior Long Ao’s understanding of the Grand Path of Creation meant he could travel freely through the Demon world; there was no need to worry that he wouldn’t notice them while cultivating in their Cave Mansions.
Within the Tai Xuan Dao Palace, Xu Yu Rou, Chen Huanyu, and others who had been saved by Lin Yi in the guise of Long Ao felt that this opportunity was rare. They hadn’t been able to express their gratitude before, but if they could listen to their benefactor’s teachings now, it would allow them to properly convey their appreciation.
Thus, they asked Invincible East and received a reply, affirming that Long Ao’s teachings would indeed help them, but they shouldn’t try too hard to stand out and should maintain a normal state of mind.
Not just low-level Cultivators, even Fusion Cultivators and Great Tribulation Experts wanted Lin Yi’s guidance, and the same was true for the Demon Ancestors within the Demon Tribe.
After making the announcement, Lin Yi began his travels. Although he had issued this command to help enlighten people like Xu Yu Rou, he was also going to pick out worthy disciples from the Human and Demon Tribes along the way.
He started in the Demon Tribe territory, moving unpredictably, with none being able to detect him. In fact, he didn’t need to travel to choose, as his Primordial Spirit could cover the entire Spirit Profound Realm, naturally sensing some exceptional disciples.
Still, he decided to personally embark on the journey because, after all this time in the Spirit Profound Realm, there were many places in both Human and Demon territories he hadn’t yet visited.
Within the territories of the Demon Tribe, he set foot in many places, and even where he did not go, he had thoroughly inspected with his Primordial Spirit.
Once it was confirmed that a person could receive a slot for enlightenment, Lin Yi would not show up directly to inform them. Instead, he would announce the list collectively after his travels ended.
As a result, many Cultivators and members of the Demon Tribe were extremely nervous, reacting to every little disturbance as if it were the approach of the venerable Long Ao, and such individuals would be directly eliminated.
During his travels to select disciples, the Sea Tribe, which bordered both the Human race and the Demon Tribe, also made a request. They stated that they too were part of the Spirit Profound Realm and had maintained good relations with both the Human race and the Demon Tribe for a long time.
They expressed their willingness to unite with the Human race and the Demon Tribe in the future to oppose the Demon race, and to welcome the venerable Long Ao to visit for Cultivation at any time. They also requested a chance to be considered for enlightenment.
Upon learning of this request, Lin Yi also indicated that he would include the Sea Tribe in his travel itinerary. Whether they could be granted the opportunity for enlightenment would depend on the ability of the Sea Tribe’s individuals themselves.
His travel speed was very fast; in some places, just a brief sweep with his Primordial Spirit was enough to select a few individuals worth considering. He would then visit them personally to determine whether they were qualified.
When he visited the Big Monster City, Lin Yi saw many members of the Demon Tribe diligently engaged in Cultivation, and some were doing good deeds. Even several Demon Ancestors showed some weight to the matter, some Cultivating, while others aided those in need they encountered near the Big Monster City.
He generally did not consider those in the Fusion and Tribulation Transcendence Realms, usually only assisting disciples below the Fusion Realm.
Thus, after more than a year’s time, Lin Yi had explored all the territories of the Demon Tribe with his Primordial Spirit. He had personally set foot in many places and eventually confirmed a list of twenty for Demon Tribe enlightenment. They were mostly benevolent members of the Demon Tribe, who diligently Cultivated and possessed kind intentions. Some had achieved Transformation, while others had not, and the majority were nearing the end of their lifespans.
Afterward, Lin Yi went to travel among the Human race. Any city’s Formation posed no obstacle to him. He first visited the three Demon Tribe Spirit Cities. As the war between the Human race and the Demon Tribe had officially ceased, the cities no longer held the tense atmosphere of the past, and even trade markets formed outside the cities, bustling with activity between the Human race and the Demon Tribe.
Following his visits to the three Demon Tribe Spirit Cities, he arrived at the Demon race’s three Spirit Cities. With the threat of the Demon race gone, these three Spirit Cities also became lively with many Cultivators passing through them to journey into what was once Demon Clan Territory, seeking treasures.
Demonfall City too was rebuilt by the Human Cultivators, including the Flying Spirit Platform, which once again connected to the six Cultivation Worlds from before, gradually regaining its prosperity.
As for the members of the organizations hostile to the Creation Method, he also received the handling results from the Tai Xuan Dao Palace.
When he returned from the Demon Clan Territory with those innocent Cultivators who were nearly used for the blood sacrifice, allowing the Human race to deal with them, the Tai Xuan Dao Palace began an investigation.
Eventually, the investigation revealed the organization led by the Great Tribulation Expert Ji Tianxing, which betrayed the Human race by colluding with the Demon race, using special means in violation of rules to intercept ascending Cultivators at the Demonfall City Flying Spirit Platform and sacrifice them to the Demon race.
The verdict was that any member who participated in the organization’s activities and performed blood sacrifices on Human Cultivators would be executed and utterly destroyed, both body and spirit.
As for the Great Tribulation Expert Ji Tianxing, his Cultivation levels were sealed, and he was imprisoned in the Prison of Sins of the Tai Xuan Dao Palace. When the Demon race returned, he would be dispatched to Demonfall City to resist the Demon race.
Lin Yi did not make any statement regarding this outcome. The matter of the Creation Method was of great importance, and naturally, the Tai Xuan Dao Palace would not disclose it. A Great Tribulation Expert was not something that could be simply executed, but this was their way of showing attitude.
The root of the Creation Method’s opposition lay in the Immortal Realm, not the Spirit Profound Realm. Of course, Ji Tianxing’s hands were stained with the blood of many innocent Cultivators, and one could say he deserved death.
Although Lin Yi could easily slay this man, doing so would also invite trouble from the Immortal Realm. It was better to keep him alive for now and address it later.
