Since his first Heavenly Tribulation Breakthrough, Li Xingtian has avoided outsiders with each breakthrough, seizing the Heavenly Tribulation Immortal Qi each time and then sending it to Su Lin from afar.

As Li Xingtian's cultivation level increased, so did the amount of Heavenly Tribulation Immortal Qi he seized, leaving Su Lin feeling very full each time.

These heaven-defying opportunities were so numerous that he couldn't digest them all, and he could almost waste them on other experiments, including the tempering of his physical body after the Heavenly Tribulation Immortal Qi was integrated into his body.

So far, the effect is great; at least cultivators a whole realm higher than Gao Sulin can fight using only their physical bodies.

From the perspective of cultivation, although Su Lin is still in the Golden Core stage, he has already mastered both the path of magic cultivation and the path of body cultivation, and he has developed both paths very solidly and profoundly, possessing the formidable combat strength to fight beyond his current level.

"I'll consider it."

Su Lin nodded indifferently, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with Chu Mo's complaint. Chu Mo sighed deeply, "I'm not saying anything, but brother... how exactly do you cultivate immortality? It feels different from everyone else's."

"You're so strong, yet your cultivation level is so low... I'm not trying to find out any secrets, I just genuinely don't understand."

Chu Mo truly couldn't understand how there could be such freaks and oddities in the world.

"My practice emphasizes slowness over speed."

Su Lin frankly admitted that this was not a secret, but rather the main principle of cultivation he promoted within Xiaoyun Temple, which all disciples and survivors followed in their cultivation.

However, their pace was not particularly slow, just a little slower than that of the other cultivators.

"So, how slow exactly are you referring to by 'slow'? Do you have a clear example?"

Chu Mo dared to ask, and Su Lin did not hold back, calmly saying, "When I entered the game, I was only at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. It was due to some fortuitous events and uncontrollable factors that I entered the Golden Core Realm."

"After entering the Golden Core stage, I suppressed my cultivation level every day and spent ten years constantly honing my foundation before finally reaching the mid-stage of the Golden Core stage."

“I know that.”

Chu Mo nodded, and couldn't help but say, "But now it's almost been ten years, the third Immortal Sect Grand Prize is coming soon, Xiao Linlin has grown up for a long time, and Li Xingtian has been killing like a madman outside... but how come you're still only in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm?"

Even if it's slow, it should at least be the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, right? Or at the very least, the late stage of the Golden Core stage!

Another ten years have passed, and you haven't even shown any intention of making a small breakthrough?

If it were any other genius, even a slightly less talented immortal cultivator, they would probably already be firmly in the Nascent Soul stage by now!

No rush.

Su Lin shook his head, and Chu Mo pressed, "Isn't there a rush? How long do you plan to take to get into the later stages?"

"Within a hundred years."

"A hundred...a hundred years?!"

Chu Mo almost thought he had misheard, but seeing Su Lin's serious expression, the top-ranked guy really wasn't lying!

Damn it, just how solid a foundation do you want?!

Chu Mo opened his mouth, speechless, and shook his head helplessly, saying, "This method of cultivating immortality is really slow... At your rate, why don't you just keep enduring until your lifespan is exhausted before seeking a breakthrough?"

"That's a good idea."

Su Lin nodded seriously: "I have thought about that, but my cultivation speed is still too fast, and I cannot make perfect use of my lifespan. There will eventually be a limit to the foundation I can build. When I have no other way to go, I will naturally break through."

Chu Mo rolled his eyes upon hearing this. He finally understood that his older brother's path was truly different from others.

Other cultivators also pay attention to their foundation, but no one is like Su Lin, who insists on pushing each minor realm to the point of no further progress before considering the next realm.

For Su Lin, breaking through to a higher level is not the problem; the problem is whether he has fully grasped the current level.

Su Lin would never break through his limits until he had mastered the skills thoroughly and completely, preferring to remain at this level.

"Alright, let's get down to business."

Chu Mo didn't want to discuss cultivation matters anymore. It was like asking an ordinary person to discuss physics and mechanics with Master Qian—it was just asking for trouble!

"Brother, I'm here mainly for the Third Immortal Sect Grand Prize."

Chu Mo brought up the matter seriously, and Su Lin nodded: "Lu Zhouming has already made preparations. The new disciples will be sent to Tianya Mountain and Changshen Palace, and some will also be sent to Changsheng Pavilion."

In the third grand prize, Xiao Linlin will begin sending undercover agents to various other immortal sects, with the Longevity Pavilion being a key target, in order to help Chu Mo gain greater influence and actual power within the sect.

"It's not just this matter; Linlin is also implementing a new plan."

Chu Mo shook his head and said in a low voice, "Big brother, she should have told you, right? I came here this time because of this matter."

"She even told you about this?"

Su Lin was somewhat surprised, not expecting Chu Mo to have some tricks up his sleeve, managing to gain Xiao Linlin's trust so quickly.

This girl is much more difficult to deal with than he is. If he wants Xiao Linlin to agree with him, Chu Mo will have to pay a huge price and put in a lot of effort, and hand over real benefits and leverage.

Otherwise, Xiao Linlin would never allow any survivor other than Su Lin to learn too much about her plans.

"They said it, but they didn't explain it very clearly."

Chu Mo narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "But I can roughly guess what she's planning to do... Her new plan is the [Great Contest Plan]."

"I think the 'great struggle' here doesn't refer to the large-scale conflict between the two immortal sects, Tianya Mountain and Changsheng Pavilion, over the years, right?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Linlin must have been planning this all along. Everything she's done over the years has been for the [Great Conquest Plan]."

Chu Mo rested his chin on his hand, his analysis hitting the nail on the head.

Su Lin stared at him for a moment, then, remembering that the plan involved Chu Mo, she didn't hold back and nodded slightly: "Not bad."

"Brother, what exactly does this 'Great Struggle' refer to?"

"The Heavenly Pivot was lost, the Nine Sects fought, and the world was in great strife."
