"It's so unfair!"
To think that I, a dignified cultivator in the Integration stage, would be reduced to stealing a fifth-grade spiritual herb just because I infiltrated the White Tiger clan's cave two or three thousand years ago.
However, just as I was about to steal the fifth-grade spiritual herb, I was discovered and captured by the leader of the White Tiger Clan, who then trapped me here and used these four magical chains to absorb my cultivation.
If this continues, I will inevitably die.
Then, the old man couldn't help but start talking.
Lin Xiaofei listened quietly to the old man's story, feeling a surge of sympathy for him, as well as some curiosity.
A Nascent Soul stage cultivator?
Upon hearing the words "fusion period," Lin Xiaofei was shocked and also somewhat puzzled.
He never imagined that the old man before him had been trapped here 30,000 years ago, and that he had been trapped by the White Tiger Clan.
He realized that the old man was a very powerful cultivator, because he had never heard of a "Cultivation Stage cultivator".
Right now, the other party is just trapped here and unable to escape.
At the same time, he remembered that as a Nascent Soul cultivator, his lifespan was only a little over five thousand years, while the other party could live for thirty thousand years, which shocked him even more.
Lin Xiaofei's eyes darted around, he took a deep breath to calm his excited emotions, and then respectfully asked the old man:
Senior, could you please explain what the Fusion Period is?
The old man sighed softly, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
He looked Lin Xiaofei up and down and slowly said:
"You, a cultivator at such a young age, have already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. You must be a true disciple of some super-powerful cultivation sect. How could you not know what the Integration stage is?"
A hint of shame appeared on Lin Xiaofei's face, but he still looked firmly at the old man and said sincerely:
"This junior is not a disciple of any sect, but merely a rogue cultivator, and has no way of knowing what the Integration Stage is."
The old man was shocked when he heard that Lin Xiaofei was a rogue cultivator.
He murmured:
"For someone so young to have cultivated to the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, it seems we've encountered a young genius."
The old man composed himself and praised Lin Xiaofei:
You are so young, and you are a rogue cultivator, yet you have been able to cultivate to the peak of the Nascent Soul realm. This shows that you have great talent and comprehension.
If you can obtain the top-tier immortal techniques from a super-powerful immortal cultivation sect, you will surely achieve extraordinary success on your path to immortality.
As for what the Integration Stage is, it is the realm after breaking through from the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
Once a cultivator breaks through to the Integration Stage, they can practically roam the cultivation world freely; very few can harm them.
After listening to the old man's description of the Integration Stage, Lin Xiaofei's face was full of excitement and longing.
He finally realized that after the Nascent Soul stage, there was the Body Integration stage. At the same time, he set a new goal for himself: not only to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, but also to move towards the Body Integration stage.
He secretly resolved to cultivate diligently and reach that transcendent state.
Thinking to himself, Lin Xiaofei paused for a moment, then asked again:
"Senior, what realm lies beyond the Integration Stage?"
The old man glanced at Lin Xiaofei indifferently, shook his head, and said softly:
As a Nascent Soul Peak cultivator, what you need to do right now is to cultivate diligently and break through to the Deity Transformation stage as soon as possible.
As for higher realms, those are extremely rare and not something you should be considering right now.
Lin Xiaofei nodded, knowing that the other party was right and that he still had a long way to go, but he was already prepared.
The old man looked at Lin Xiaofei and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
He saw longing and determination in Lin Xiaofei's eyes, and realized that he had once had the same aspirations.
So the old man earnestly advised:
Kid, your talent and potential are truly amazing.
However, the path to immortality is not something that can be achieved overnight; it requires diligent cultivation, taking one step at a time.
Don't let overly ambitious goals cloud your judgment; stay calm and focused.
Listening to the old man's teachings, Lin Xiaofei understood that the old man meant well. He took a deep breath, then cupped his hands in thanks to the old man.
The old man spoke again:
"Young cultivator, leave this White Tiger cave immediately! If the White Tiger leader's men discover someone has trespassed, you will have no chance of survival."
Lin Xiaofei said with a smile:
Senior, don't worry.
The White Tiger clan is currently engaged in battle with the demon army, and no one is patrolling this area, so they won't discover me.
By the way, senior, you just told me that the next stage after the Nascent Soul stage is the Body Integration stage. This has shown me the path ahead.
"Thank you for informing me, senior. I also intend to remove the chains binding you so you can leave this place."
The old man sighed and said:
I appreciate your kindness, but you should leave now!
Even if the White Tiger Clan and the Demon Clan are engaged in a great war, someone might arrive at any time.
Moreover, the four magical chains on my body are not something a Nascent Soul Peak cultivator like you can pull out.
Unless your strength reaches the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, you simply cannot remove the four magic weapon chains from my body.
Young man, you'd better leave now!
Lin Xiaofei then said:
"Senior, I really can help you remove the four magical chains binding you."
The old man hesitated for a moment, thought for a moment, and then exclaimed in surprise:
"Young man, if you can truly remove the four magical chains binding me and free me, I will then teach you immortal techniques and spells for the Integration Stage."
"A celestial technique at the Integration Stage?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei was slightly shocked, but also excited and filled with anticipation.
He knew this was a rare opportunity; not only could he rescue the old man, but he could also obtain cultivation methods for a higher level.
Lin Xiaofei said happily:
"Senior, it's a deal."
As he spoke, he activated the spiritual energy within his body, causing his aura to surge.
Then, he lightly leaped into the air, approached the old man, and came to the four magical chains that bound the old man.
Lin Xiaofei looked at the four magical chains in front of him, took a deep breath, stretched out his hands, grasped one of the chains, and his spiritual power surged wildly from his body.
In an instant, his aura surged, unleashing his power to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and then he pulled forcefully.
Instantly, a surge of spiritual energy rose from the magic weapon chain, as if thousands of fine threads were wrapped around it and being pulled forcefully.
Immediately afterwards, the magical chain began to emerge from the old man's back, bit by bit.
Before long, the first magic weapon chain was pulled out.
The old man, suspended in mid-air, watched all this with astonishment and exclaimed:
At such a young age, you've reached the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, yet you've demonstrated the strength of a peak Deity Transformation cultivator. This is something most people can't do, and even the most talented cultivators would find it difficult.
Based on the strength you're displaying right now, this is the first time in 30,000 years that I've seen such a young cultivator possess such astonishing power.
It seems your talent surpasses even that of geniuses; you may very well be a peerless genius!
In that case, as long as you don't perish along the way, you will definitely be able to cultivate to the same level as I once was, becoming a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
Lin Xiaofei didn't say anything and continued to pull out the second magic weapon chain, then the third, and the fourth.
Half an hour later, he finally managed to pull the chains off the old man one by one.
After Lin Xiaofei pulled out all four magic weapon chains, the old man's cultivation level dropped from the peak of the Nascent Soul stage to the early Nascent Soul stage.
During the pulling process, the chain absorbed a significant amount of the old man's cultivation, leaving him weakened and causing him to fall from the sky, panting heavily.
Seeing how weak the old man was, Lin Xiaofei took out a Nascent Soul Pill and gave it to him.
The old man then regained some of his strength.
