Even at one point, Tianxiao, who had mastered the complete power of the Heavenly Dao Core fragment, had a feeling that he could escape this place with the Heavenly Dao Core.

To control this power on one's own.

Once he has fully refined it, he will surely be able to raise his third-order realm to the level of a high-order True Monarch!

At that time, even those who serve as his dogs will have to be mindful of his feelings. Within the Heavenly Dragon Sect, only high-ranking elders and the sect leader will be qualified to speak with him.

That feeling of looking down on everyone made his mind wander.

However, he was also aware that this power was lent to him by Lin Jinglong, and Lin Jinglong could take it back at any time if he wanted to.

After all, he was the one who truly refined this core.

Just thinking about how Lin Jinglong had easily refined the Heavenly Dao Core right in front of him not long ago...

And the one who got this core ahead of time.

However, it has never been easy to refine.

This made him sigh.

"Is the difference in cultivation level really that great?"

While Tianxiao was still wallowing in self-pity.

Chen Mingde, sitting opposite him, suddenly exclaimed in shock, "Where did that power within you come from? You've already broken through to the intermediate level?"

Even if Tianxiao breaks through to the middle level, he is only a fourth-level True Monarch. How can he be compared with him?

Who has the right to confront him head-on?

Chen Mingde couldn't understand it.

Seeing this scene, Chen Qi not only didn't panic, but he also became excited, feeling that his face had been restored.

Tianxiao's strength is surprisingly high.

This indicates that he had quite a few adventures in the mortal realm.

So, even if I was defeated and looked rather pathetic before, it wasn't too much of a loss, was it?

After all, Tianxiao is just too strong.

This does not mean that he is weak.

Although the price was that her father was somewhat embarrassed.

He stepped forward and said with a sneer, "Tianxiao, you said you came down to the mortal realm to find opportunities. So, you have indeed found some good things."

"Hand over the items. You have offended my father and violated the sect's rules. Now you have a chance to live."

"Hand over your opportunity!"

He licked his lips, his greed palpable.

Tianxiao, on the other hand, looked at him coldly.

Even if he wanted to hand it over, he couldn't. It belonged to Lin Jinglong. When he faced Chen Qi, he secretly glanced at Lin Jinglong beside him.

The Chen father and son also noticed Lin Jinglong's presence. He seemed to be only at the Immortal Realm, but during the previous battle, he stood aside unmoved and showed no surprise at what was happening before his eyes.

That already speaks volumes.

"Now I understand why you cooperated with these lowly people from the lower realms. You must have obtained your opportunity through them. So, if I just capture them, I can find out what happened, right?"

Chen Mingde muttered to himself.

He sneered at Lin Jinglong and said, "Boy, which faction in the lower realm are you from? What is your relationship with Tianxiao? Tell me honestly, and I can give you a Tianlong Sect identity."

Even Tianxiao was shocked.

He immediately mentioned his identity as a member of the Heavenly Dragon Sect?

You should know that the identities of the five major sects are so prestigious that even members of the smaller sects in the vicinity could experience a qualitative leap in their lives, let alone cultivators in the lower realms!

Some people even looked at Lin Jinglong with envy.

If he betrays Tianxiao, then he'll make a fortune.

Chen Qi slowly said, "Although I can only give you an outer sect identity for now, if you can break through to the True Monarch realm one day, you can become a formal disciple. I think your aptitude is not bad, and you may even have a chance to become a true disciple."

"You can tell I have good potential?"

Lin Jinglong said to Chen Qi with a smile.

Chen Qi naturally couldn't tell. Apart from being able to tell that Lin Jinglong was a celestial being, he could only guess at most other things.

"Of course I can see it. You don't need to waste your breath. What did you find for Tianxiao?"

"The core of the Heavenly Dao."

Lin Jinglong suddenly revealed the truth.

"What?"

Chen Mingde's expression was visibly shocked.

The others present were also utterly shocked, for Tianxiao had actually found a Heavenly Dao Core!

Even if it's just the weakest one.

If he can completely devour and refine it, then he can also reach the level of a high-level True Monarch.

A complete core of the lower realm's Heavenly Dao can surpass a ninth-order True Monarch; this is their latest assessment.

After all, this is what Lin Wudi did to the Upper Realm.

They were fully aware of this as well.

Tianxiao suddenly panicked and said telepathically, "Lin Jinglong, why are you telling them this? If things are exposed, they will hunt us down."

"You're wrong. Your pursuit of me is none of my business."

"What?"

Tianxiao was dumbfounded.

Lin Jinglong explained to him, "The people of the Heavenly Dragon Sect are very particular about rules. They dare not go too far. If you were just an ordinary true disciple today and offended Chen Mingde, he might just kill you and no one would care."

"But if you possess the Heavenly Dao Core, then it will be inconvenient for Chen Mingde to kill you. After all, the opportunity is already in your hands. If he kills you, wouldn't it be to seize the opportunity?"

"If word gets out, the Heavenly Dragon Sect's reputation will be ruined. Who, including its disciples, will dare to work for them in the future?"

Lin Jinglong's words made Tianxiao thoughtful.

"Therefore, it's better to just make it clear that you have the Heavenly Dao Core. You'll actually get their protection, and some elders might even try to win you over. This way, your status can be elevated."

Tianxiao smiled wryly upon hearing this.

"But doesn't that also mean someone will secretly take action?"

"After all, you are a true disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Sect. Are you just going to stand by and watch you be murdered and have your Heavenly Dao Core stolen?"

Lin Jinglong's words dispelled his concerns.

Although things had become much more complicated than he had imagined, it was clear that Lin Jinglong was willing to lend him the power of his Heavenly Dao Core in the hope that he could improve his status within the Heavenly Dragon Sect.

Was all of this part of Lin Jinglong's plan?

Chen Mingde's eyes flickered, and he said in a low voice, "Where is the thing? How did you find the core?"

“The dragon vein in Kyoto is one of the core fragments of the Heavenly Dao in the lower realm. We cooperated with Immortal Master Tianxiao and found that fragment, which is why he has combat power comparable to a mid-level cultivator.”

After Lin Jinglong finished speaking, he extended his hand.

"I've told you everything I know. Give me a Heavenly Dragon Sect identity certificate. Didn't you say you wanted me to become an outer disciple?"

"this……"

Chen Mingde felt somewhat helpless.

The young man was quite straightforward; without them having to continue coercing him, he told them everything he needed to say.

Chen Qi looked at Lin Jinglong with disdain.

"People from the lower realms are indeed despicable; they betray their companions without the slightest hesitation."
