Chapter 953
Breaking Through Multiple Realms
For the next few days, Lin Xiao stayed at the Duan family's residence.
This can be considered a stroke of luck for Lin Xiao. The Duan family is one of the four great families in the Xuanming Immortal Realm, possessing countless opportunities.
Duan Yeming could easily take out enough from the Duan family for Lin Xiao's cultivation.
In just a few days, Lin Xiao's cultivation level naturally broke through to the Second Tribulation Earth Immortal Realm.
"Damn it, it's true that comparisons are the thief of joy. Your cultivation speed is nothing short of monstrous, hundreds of times faster than mine back then. If you continue at this rate, you'll probably catch up to my level within a hundred years."
Duan Yeming looked at Lin Xiao with surprise in his eyes.
No wonder a cultivator at the Profound Immortal Realm could cure the Hell Lotus Poison, which even a peak Immortal Emperor couldn't cure.
Lin Xiao's lips curled up slightly. This feeling was indeed extremely good. The Earth Immortal Realm and the Profound Immortal Realm were two different realms. Back then, when Lin Xiao fought against that guy from the Soul-Binding Hall, if it weren't for the Eight Immortal Towers protecting his soul, it would have been hard to say who would have won.
"Lin Xiao, I have something I need to discuss with you."
Duan Yeming looked at Lin Xiao and suddenly spoke.
"Brother Duan, what's wrong? Tell me."
Lin Xiao did not agree immediately, but asked questions first rather cautiously.
"Hehe, I really need your help with this."
Duan Yeming chuckled as he poured Lin Xiao a full glass of wine, then poured himself a full glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Here's the thing. I've learned the whole story in the past few days. Wu Xue doesn't like that Wu Tianxi at all. It's all Wu Tianxi's wishful thinking. But Wu Tianxi used his background to force her, which led to this situation. I made a scene, and Wu Tianxi is extremely arrogant. He wants to fight me. Whoever wins will marry Wu Xue."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao immediately fell silent. Last time they encountered Wu Tianxi, Lin Xuan had immediately discovered Wu Tianxi's realm: Eight Tribulation Immortal King Realm, the same as Duan Yeming at his peak. If it were Duan Yeming at his peak, the outcome would be uncertain. However, Duan Yeming was only at the Five Tribulation Immortal King Realm now, making it virtually impossible for him to defeat Wu Tianxi.
"So, you want to fight him?"
"I can't beat him now."
Duan Yeming is proud but not arrogant. If he can't beat someone, he can't beat them, and there's nothing he can't admit.
"If you can't beat them, why do you want to fight?"
Lin Xiao was somewhat impressed by Duan Yeming's thought process.
"No, no, no, it's like this. In the end, we did it like this: five matches in total, from the Profound Immortal Realm to the Earth Immortal Realm, the Heavenly Immortal Realm, the Golden Immortal Realm, and the Immortal King Realm. It's best of three out of five. I hope you can help me with the battle in the Earth Immortal Realm."
Duan Yeming stared intently at Lin Xiao, his words filled with pleading.
Lin Xiao pointed to himself, somewhat bewildered.
"Are you sure you want me to go? To have someone who just broke through to the Earth Immortal Realm help you fight in an Earth Immortal Realm battle? Are you crazy?"
Lin Xiao was speechless. Without Elder Xuan's help, he could at most advance one or two levels in combat, but this leap in a major realm was a bit too exaggerated.
"This battle will take place in three years. During these three years, I will provide you with sufficient resources. Just tell me what you need, and I will try my best to get it for you. I trust you, Lin Xiao. You are a guy that even I can't see through."
Duan Yeming looked at Lin Xiao with a smile. Although Lin Xiao had shown that he was at the second tribulation of the Earth Immortal realm, his actual combat strength was somewhat lacking.
Representing Duan Yeming's Earthly Immortal Realm in the competition felt like a strange experience.
Before Lin Xuan could respond to Duan Yeming, Duan Yeming immediately stepped forward and patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder.
"Just because you, a Xuanxian Realm cultivator, were able to help me remove the Hell Lotus Poison from my body, I trust you completely." What could Lin Xiao say in response? He could only smile and nod.
"I'll think about it."
"Alright, think it over, Lin Xiao. I will have the servants deliver the resources to your courtyard every month. Of course, if you need anything, you can call me anytime."
After saying this, Duan Yeming disappeared from the spot. Lin Xiao guessed that he had probably gone to see his old flame or to call for help.
"Kid, it doesn't matter. Didn't you hear what he said? He'll take care of all your resources for the next three years. Use the methods I gave you, and have Duan Yeming help you find the materials you need. If you gather all the materials, it will be a huge boost to your performance."
Lin Xiao found Li Xuan's words very reasonable. His first priority was to find enough resources and improve himself as soon as possible.
“Alright, Elder Xuan, I’ll listen to you. However, I think this matter is a bit risky, especially with Wu Tianxi. Since he dares to do this, I guess Wu Tianxi probably has some backup plan.”
"Haha, it's alright. As the saying goes, when soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it. Even if we lose in the end, it's none of your business."
Lin Xuan laughed heartily at Lin Xiao's concern, his eyes filled with a cunning and calculating look.
"Alright, since Elder Xuan has said so, then I'll do it!"
Lin Xiao took a deep breath and accepted this extremely pleasant task.
Since Duan Yeming trusts me so much, I will do my best. If I really can't do it in the end, then I can't blame myself.
Duan Yeming kept his word and was extremely straightforward. The next day, he immediately sent over a large amount of resources. These resources were a huge sum for a Celestial Immortal, but this was only the first month's worth of cultivation resources that Duan Yeming gave to Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao began his seclusion. With the Four Symbols Sacred Body and the resources sent by Duan Yeming, his cultivation level increased by leaps and bounds.
Duan Yeming spared no expense, even finding the essence blood of exotic beasts for Lin Xiao. These were exotic beasts with the bloodlines of the four divine beasts, which was exactly what Lin Xiao needed right now.
Three years later.
Three years is only enough time for Lin Xiao to go into seclusion, but in those three years, Lin Xiao broke through from the Second Tribulation Earth Immortal Realm to the Sixth Tribulation Earth Immortal Realm.
Three years and four realms—that's an astonishing speed.
Duan Yeming was shocked. How could Lin Xiao have such a fast cultivation speed?
It took him a full thousand years to break through four realms; otherwise, he wouldn't have reached the Immortal King realm at the age of 100,000.
"Lin Xiao, I wonder if you could reach the Immortal Venerable realm if you continued cultivating like this?!"
Duan Yeming looked at Lin Xiao and suddenly smiled.
"Hehe, I don't know."
Lin Xiao didn't answer directly. Well, he felt that even the Immortal Venerable wasn't necessarily the limit.
"Oh, by the way, Brother Duan, does it start tomorrow?"
"Yes, it's tomorrow. If we win, I'll take Wuxue with me. If we lose, I might have to break my promise to you."
Duan Yeming took a sip of wine.
Lin Xiao fell silent for a moment. What a romantic! (End of Chapter)
