"Young friend, have you come to see me for something?"

"boom!"

Lin Jinglong didn't even turn around.

His aura vibrated.

A violent bombardment from pure spiritual energy.

Even if a supreme being stood behind him intending to launch a sneak attack, he would be blasted away by this blow!

But the owner of that hand remained unmoved.

Lin Jinglong turned around and took a few steps back, frowning as he looked at the hidden figure who had appeared behind him.

It was an old man dressed in simple, ancient robes.

He was tall and thin, with two eyebrows hanging down on either side and a mustache, making him look somewhat comical.

This person is not actually alive.

It was just a ghost spirit.

But to Lin Jinglong's surprise, the spiritual energy shock he had just released should have been able to be blocked by both the living and the dead.

The old man stood with his hands behind his back, smiling as he looked at him.

"So young, yet possessing such strong foundation and such a profound level of cultivation, truly remarkable."

“A young man like you would be considered a top-tier prodigy even in ancient times.”

"Only those major sects can cultivate them."

Lin Jinglong cupped his hands and said, "This junior, Lin Jinglong, has come to seek the opportunities of the Heavenly Dao. May I ask who you are, senior?"

"My name is Shen Ping. I was just an ordinary cultivator in ancient times. I was fortunate enough to reach the Dao Integration Supreme Realm in my previous life, but now I am nothing but a skeleton in a tomb."

Lin Jinglong subconsciously glanced at the grave mounds beside him.

So this old man in white was the person from the grave?

Moreover, he was actually a Dao Integration Supreme in his previous life. Even in today's world, with the changes that have occurred, he would still be considered one of the top experts.

He looked at the other party with some suspicion. Although it was just a Yin spirit and looked very weak, it was immune to his attack just now.

He had to be wary of this person.

The old man, who called himself Shen Ping, went to the grave on his own. He looked at the invisible Heavenly Dao opportunity and showed a sense of remembrance.

"It seems that after five thousand years, the Heavenly Dao has been revived, but I never expected to see this thing in my lifetime."

"Senior is referring to the opportunity of Heaven?"

"Before the connection between heaven and earth was severed, this thing was called the Heavenly Secret."

Lin Jinglong shrugged, indicating that there was no difference.

Then, the old man continued, “The secrets of heaven are intricately intertwined, with ten intertwined strands forming a single strand. Years ago, I had a fight with an old friend over a single strand of the secrets of heaven.”

"After my defeat, although my Yin spirit still exists, I no longer have the will to contend with the Great Dao. So my old friend buried me in this secret realm, where I have been sleeping for thousands of years. Now that the severance of the connection between heaven and earth has ended, I have been awakened."

"I just don't know if my friend is doing well now..."

Shen Ping stood alone in front of his own grave, like an old man, talking about things from back then.

Lin Jinglong listened to the narration.

I now understand what happened to him.

Back then, this person was considered an unparalleled genius, and he had a friend of the same level. The two of them competed for a wisp of heavenly opportunity, also known as the secret of heaven.

Shen Ping was later killed by his friend.

The other party buried him here.

However, what puzzled Lin Jinglong was...

"Since this secret is so complex, and it seems that you and that old friend have a good relationship, why insist on fighting to the death?"

"Um?"

Shen Ping was stunned for a moment.

He turned to look at Lin Jinglong and said in surprise, "You didn't know about that?"

"What's up?"

Lin Jinglong finally became interested.

The old man chuckled and said with a playful tone, "Interesting. Since you are also a contender for the Heavenly Secrets, how come you don't even know such an important matter? We are destined to meet, so why don't I tell you?"

Then he began to explain.

Although there are countless secrets in this world.

It can be obtained by tens of thousands of cultivators, but for the vast majority of cultivators, every battle may cause the loss of Heavenly Secrets.

"The lost secrets of heaven will feed back into the heavenly Dao until they are regenerated elsewhere. Cultivators can either continue to collect the opportunities of heavenly Dao or seize them from others."

Why do you have to rob it?

Lin Jinglong was still puzzled.

Although this secret is very powerful, mastering it would greatly enhance even him.

But is it necessary to work so hard?

"This is the key point I want to make. There has always been an ancient legend that if you want to achieve the body of a true immortal, you must gather all the mysteries of heaven into one person. Only in this way can you have the opportunity to become an immortal!"

"But legends are just legends. As for true immortals, none of us have ever seen one, but many people have witnessed the existence of the opportunity to attain immortality, which is called the so-called opportunity to attain immortality."

Lin Jinglong nodded.

He had already witnessed both celestial and divine secrets.

Furthermore, given the same quantity, the quality of the Heavenly Secrets is superior to that of the Immortal Secrets.

At the same time, he also realized something.

"So, by collecting ten thousand strands of heavenly secrets, one can become a true immortal?"

In that case, it's no wonder that the senior Shen Ping and his close friend, who were both peerless experts and had been friends for so many years, insisted on fighting to the death.

According to this legend.

The only chance in the world to become an immortal.

There's only one!

To become an immortal, you must become unique!

Shen Ping continued, "I've already said, legends are just legends, but back then we were all blinded by our own involvement. Once we embarked on this path, none of us could back down. It was either becoming an immortal or dying!"
