58: Chapter 58 The Holy Lord's Favor, the Path to Emperorship is Within Reach!

Lin Yi cupped his hands in greeting.

"Disciple greets the Holy Lord and Revered Master."

"Enough with the formalities!"

Zhou Qing smiled, his face full of wrinkles, as he pointed a large hand at the stone chair opposite him.

"Sit down and talk!"

Lin Yi walked over and sat down across from Luo Qinghan.

Luo Qinghan glanced at him but did not speak.

However, that nearly imperceptible curve at the corner of her mouth appeared again.

Zhou Qing cleared his throat, his expression gradually shifting from playful to solemn.

"Lin Yi, I called you here today to tell you a few things."

"First."

He held up one finger.

"You reached the top of the three thousand extreme dao list and killed the Yaoguang Holy Land Prodigy Ye Chen in the Taichu Ancient Mine."

"Furthermore, the news of you triggering the Hongmeng Creation Vision has already spread through more than half of the Three Thousand Dao Domains."

"Do you know what this means?"

Lin Yi thought for a moment and said, "A tall tree attracts the wind?"

Zhou Qing was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily.

"You're quite clear-headed, kid!"

"But a tall tree attracting the wind is only one side of it."

"The other side is..."

He stopped smiling, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"You are now the benchmark for the younger generation in the entire Huang Domain, and even the Three Thousand Dao Domains!"

"In these few days alone, seventeen top-tier orthodoxies from various Dao Domains have sent envoys, hoping to form an alliance with our Heavenly Profound Holy Land."

"Three Imperial Clans have also secretly sent marriage proposals."

"All of them are here for you!"

Hearing this, Lin Yi's eyebrows twitched.

"Marriage alliance?"

Marriage alliances are good!

This is a good thing!

But in the next moment, Zhou Qing continued, "I have already fended these people off for you."

"Alliances can be discussed, but marriage is off the table!"

He glanced toward Luo Qinghan and continued:

"Your Revered Master said that her Disciple's marriage is not for outsiders to meddle in."

Luo Qinghan's expression remained as usual, and she spoke calmly, "I was merely stating a fact."

Hearing this, the corner of Lin Yi's mouth twitched.

His Revered Master's level of protectiveness was simply too much.

It had reached the point where she even controlled his marriage!

"Second thing."

Zhou Qing held up two fingers, his expression becoming even more solemn.

"Starting today, Heavenly Profound Holy Land has placed you in the Core Legacy Sequence."

"What does that mean?"

"It means you have priority in using all the resources of our Heavenly Profound Holy Land."

"Including..."

He paused, his tone becoming heavier.

"The top floor of the Daoist Archive Pavilion!"

Lin Yi's eyes narrowed slightly.

The top floor of the Daoist Archive Pavilion.

That was where the most core collections accumulated by Heavenly Profound Holy Land since its founding were stored.

It was said to contain the notes and insights on Dao Laws left by dozens of Quasi-Emperor Realm powerhouses.

Saints of previous generations could only enter the first three floors of the Daoist Archive Pavilion.

The top floor had never been opened to any Saint.

"Isn't the Holy Lord's move a bit too much?"

Lin Yi asked directly.

He wasn't being pretentious.

Giving too many resources could easily lead to dissatisfaction within the Holy Land.

Especially from the Peak Revered Masters and Disciples of other peaks.

It would inevitably invite unnecessary trouble.

Zhou Qing waved his hand.

"Whoever dares to be dissatisfied, let them come to me!"

"Lin Yi, you must understand one thing."

He stood up and walked to the ancient bronze light screen.

On the screen, Lin Yi's name sat high at the top of the list, the golden characters shining brightly at the very peak.

"Your current status is no longer that of an ordinary Disciple!"

"You are the Saint of our Heavenly Profound Holy Land, and even more, you are the undisputed face of the entire Huang Domain!"

"The foundation of our Heavenly Profound Holy Land is among the top even within the Three Thousand Dao Domains.

We just lacked an opportunity and weren't enough to overawe the entire Dao Domain."

"But now, because of your talent, those top-tier forces that dominate regions and ancient orthodoxies with long legacies..."

"All of them are competing to line up and take the initiative to send invitations to befriend us!"

"Do you truly understand what this means?"

Zhou Qing pointed at the light screen and looked back at Lin Yi.

"So, don't be polite with me. Tell me directly what you want."

"As long as the Holy Land has it, we can provide it for you!"

Lin Yi understood the implication in Zhou Qing's words. After a two-second silence, he nodded solemnly.

"Thank you, Holy Lord."

"I will go to the top floor of the Daoist Archive Pavilion."

"Additionally, I need a batch of Saint-grade Spirit Medicines and Divine Sources."

"To help Su Yuxi, Chu Wanqing, and Shen Qingyue improve their cultivation."

Zhou Qing raised an eyebrow.

Good kid.

The first thing he asked for wasn't for himself.

But for the three girls.

He secretly glanced at Luo Qinghan.

Luo Qinghan's expression didn't change.

But Zhou Qing felt that the curve of her mouth had tilted up a bit more.

"No problem!"

Zhou Qing slapped the stone table.

"I will have the treasury allocate a batch. As for the specifications, they will be matched according to the Elder level!"

"Thank you, Holy Lord."

Lin Yi cupped his hands again.

Only then did Luo Qinghan speak.

"Yi'er."

"Revered Master."

"I heard that Wang Teng, the Imperial Son of the Northern Domain's Imperial Clan Wang Family, has emerged."

Lin Yi nodded.

Luo Qinghan's tone was still calm, but every word carried a sharp edge.

"That person's Innate Emperor-Bearing Dao Body is indeed strange."

"He can inherit the Dao Law imprints of Ancient Great Emperors, allowing him to control parts of the Emperor's Legacy without having to comprehend the Dao from scratch."

"It sounds very strong!"

Saying this, she paused.

"But it's only 'sounds like it'."

"I have indeed heard of it!" Lin Yi looked at Luo Qinghan and replied.

Luo Qinghan continued to explain: "The Emperor-Bearing Dao Body has a fatal flaw."

"He can only inherit the Dao of others."

"He will never be able to walk his own path."

"His upper limit is replicating the Dao of predecessors; he can never surpass them."

"This kind of Physique can be seen through at a glance."

Saying this, Luo Qinghan turned her head, her gaze falling on Lin Yi.

"But you are different."

"Your Hongmeng Chaos Body forms its own Dao."

"The path you walk is unprecedented!"

"Where it will lead and how far it will go, no one knows!"

Lin Yi felt a warmth in his heart.

His Revered Master's words were intended to encourage him!

Zhou Qing nodded repeatedly as he listened from the side.

"Your Revered Master is right! To put it bluntly, the Emperor-Bearing Dao Body is a shadow Physique."

"No matter how well he practices, he's just someone else's shadow."

"It can't compare to your own Dao!"

Zhou Qing walked back to the main seat, sat down, and took a sip from his teacup.

"But then again, Wang Teng is not to be underestimated."

"His strength is only one aspect."

"What's more troublesome is the Northern Domain's Imperial Clan Wang Family behind him."

"The Wang Family's foundation is similar to our Heavenly Profound Holy Land's."

"His father, Wang Shuo, is also a powerhouse in the Quasi-Emperor Realm. You must be careful!"

Facing Zhou Qing's warning, Lin Yi spoke in a deep voice: "Thank you for the reminder, Holy Lord!"

Zhou Qing put down his teacup and said solemnly: "The Ancient Great Emperor Secret Realm is about to appear."

"At that time, the prodigies of the Three Thousand Dao Domains will gather, a struggle between dragons and tigers."

"What are your plans?"

Lin Yi stood up and walked to the window.

The window of the Tianji Hall faced south.

Toward the Central Province.

"Seize!"

He said only one word.

Zhou Qing smiled.

"Good! Then the Holy Land will fully support you!"

Luo Qinghan also stood up and took out an ancient Jade Talisman from her sleeve.

The Jade Talisman was milky white throughout, with fine Dao Law patterns flowing on its surface.

It emitted a palpitation-inducing aura.

"Take it."

Lin Yi took the Jade Talisman and probed it with his Divine Sense.

In an instant, a terrifying pressure at the Quasi-Emperor level surged back from the Jade Talisman.

It immediately gave his mind a massive shock!
