Sword Elder's wild imagination! Could the Great Xia be an ancient divine race favored by the Great Dao?

"This... this is really, really too ridiculous!"

"Sister Yue, according to what you're saying..."

"As long as someone with a cultivation base appears in some random corner of Great Xia, that power will ignore everything and be directly bestowed upon Brother Mo?"

"Even their Physique can be synchronously copied?"

Gu Zhiyun still found it somewhat hard to accept, feeling her head buzzing.

She pointed at Lin Xiyue, then at the still-sleeping Shen Qingyi, the expression on her face a kaleidoscope of emotions, unable to put her shock into words.

"Exactly."

"It's quite unreasonable, isn't it?"

"It can't be helped."

"That's just how a cheater is!"

Facing Gu Zhiyun's look of existential doubt, Lin Xiyue could only shrug.

She understood that for a native of the Cangxuan Great Realm like Gu Zhiyun, this was far too impactful.

"It's more than just unreasonable!"

"It's simply... simply... uh..."

She thought for a long time, only to find herself at a loss for words!

Ransacking her brain, she couldn't find a single suitable word to describe Lin Mo's freakish ability!

"Doesn't that mean..."

At this moment, Li Fan, who had been in a daze, swallowed hard and couldn't help but speak:

"As long as Brother Mo is given enough time..."

"Then in the future, Brother Mo... will definitely become an Emperor?!"

"Heh, become an Emperor?"

Hearing those words, Old Jian, floating in mid-air, suddenly let out a sneer.

But this sneer wasn't directed at Lin Mo.

It was a look of contempt for Li Fan's narrow-mindedness!

"Kid, your perspective is too small!"

"Becoming an Emperor is nothing!"

Old Jian's emotions were exceptionally stirred, to the point of using profanity.

"You don't understand at all what this 'Dao Ancestor Status' means!"

"It means he can gather thousands of great powers into one body and fuse the fortune of billions of living beings!"

"As long as Great Xia is not destroyed and the Legacy continues, his upper limit is infinite!"

"A mere Great Emperor isn't even worthy of carrying his shoes!"

"In my opinion, with such Heaven-Defying authority, the kid Lin's future achievements will at least be that of a supreme existence beyond the Great Emperor!"

"By then, forget about Holy Lands or Demon Palaces; even if all the ancient taboos of the Cangxuan Great Realm joined forces, they probably couldn't withstand a single punch from him!"

As a former Saint-Grade expert, no one knew the terror of this ability better than Old Jian.

It meant that in the future, Lin Mo would be cloaked in ten thousand Daos, immune to all Laws!

He was very likely to become the legendary one who created heaven and earth and established the rules—the true Dao Ancestor!

Old Jian's excited voice made everyone's eardrums ache.

But no one refuted him, because everyone was completely terrified by these remarks.

Beyond the Great Emperor!

What a desirable yet despair-inducing height that was!

"Dao Ancestor of Great Xia..."

"What a 'Dao Ancestor of Great Xia'!"

Old Jian's eyes became incredibly profound, and he began to spiral into a frenzy of wild speculation.

"I felt before that there was an indescribable aura about the kid Lin."

"Now it seems..."

"Could he really be the Reincarnation of some Ancestor of the Great Dao?"

"Otherwise, how could he possess such Heaven-Defying methods?"

"And if he is the Reincarnation of a Dao Ancestor..."

Old Jian's gaze swept over Lin Guohui and finally landed on Lin Xiyue.

"Then what is the origin of this Great Xia?"

"Could it be... that this Great Xia was once an ancient God Race favored by the Great Dao? The Dao-Protecting Vassal Race of the Dao Ancestor in this era?!"

The more Old Jian thought about it, the more alarmed he became, and the more likely this possibility seemed!

This also explained why this place was sealed by such terrifying means!

So... the true roots of the Great Dao were hidden here!

Listening to Old Jian muttering to himself, Gu Zhiyun's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Beyond Great Emperor... Favored by the Great Dao... Dao-Protecting Race... These terms collided frantically in her mind, eventually forming a wonderful fantasy.

"If... Brother Mo is destined to transcend the Great Emperor in the future..."

"Then as one of the first people to follow him..."

"Even if my own talent is limited in this life and I can't attain the Dao to become an Emperor."

"As long as I can shamelessly... ptooey, tightly cling to Brother Mo's thick thighs and not let go!"

"Then when he attains the Dao and everyone associated with him rises to the heavens..."

"As a 'Founding Follower' and loyal little sidekick, surely I can be forcibly promoted to the Great Emperor Realm, right?"

"Doesn't this mean..."

"I've actually already reserved a seat as a Great Emperor in advance?"

As soon as this thought surfaced, Gu Zhiyun felt like she was about to float away.

How was this signing a deed of sale?

This was clearly buying a direct ticket to the Emperor's throne!

I've won!

This is a massive win!

"Hehe... hehehe..."

Thinking of the wonderful possibilities, Gu Zhiyun even let out a silly giggle, her drool nearly leaking out!

Seeing this group of people suddenly fall into some strange, feverish fantasy one by one.

Lin Xiyue helplessly massaged her forehead.

"Cough cough..."

She cleared her throat, forced to interrupt everyone's daydreaming.

"Everyone, I know you're very excited right now."

"But... please don't get excited yet."

"Because My Brother is currently... still in a life-and-death crisis!"

"If he doesn't make it through this, forget about transcending the Great Emperor; we'll all be gone, so what future is there to talk about?"

Though Lin Xiyue's tone was calm, it was like a bucket of cold water, instantly dousing the fervor in everyone's hearts.

"Oh right, right, right!"

"I almost forgot the main business!"

Gu Zhiyun shuddered and immediately snapped out of it.

She hurriedly shook her head, tossing out those unrealistic fantasies.

No joke!

Her guaranteed seat as a Great Emperor was entirely dependent on Lin Mo.

If Lin Mo were to be turned to ash in the Cangxuan Great Realm right now, wouldn't her dream shatter on the spot?

This absolutely cannot happen!

"Sigh..."

Sikong Yang also took a deep breath, forcing himself to regain his reason from the shock.

He looked at Lin Xiyue and said with a solemn expression:

"Xiyue, I understand what you mean."

"Since my disciple can synchronously obtain Physiques, the urgent priority now is to let this Miss Shen Qingyi completely and fully awaken her Physique, right?"

"Only then can my disciple possess this Saint Physique power at the first opportunity."

"Thereby causing his strength to skyrocket and resolving the crisis!"

Sikong Yang, having been a Sect Master after all, quickly sorted out the key logic.

"Exactly, that's it!" Lin Xiyue nodded in confirmation.

"However..."

Sikong Yang's brow furrowed slightly as he looked at the massive Ice Crystal, a hint of concern in his eyes.

"Awakening a special Physique is something that should happen naturally."

"Do we really have the ability to artificially intervene or even accelerate this process?"

"What if improper handling leads to her Awakening failing?"

As soon as Sikong Yang said this, everyone fell into contemplation again.

It was true.

Although it seemed that Shen Qingyi was only one step away from Awakening.

But no one knew how much longer that 'step' would take.

It could be a few hours, a few days, or even several months!

And in the cultivation world, forcibly inducing a Physique is often a major taboo, as it easily leads to an unstable Foundation.

But the situation was urgent; if they didn't speed up, Lin Mo's side could collapse at any moment.

This was simply a dead end!

"Don't worry, let me take a look."

Just as everyone was at their wits' end, at the critical moment, it had to be Old Jian, the 'encyclopedia,' who could be relied upon.

His figure floated directly in front of the massive Ice Crystal.

With his eyes slightly closed, his vast Divine Thought extended like threads, penetrating the thick layer of ice to carefully sense Shen Qingyi's current physical condition.

"Hmm..."

"The aura of the Laws is becoming increasingly dense, constantly remodeling her body."

"But... it's indeed still quite a bit away from a full Awakening."

Old Jian muttered to himself while sensing.

His gaze pierced through the ice, staring intently at Shen Qingyi's smooth forehead.

There, an extremely dim mysterious rune was slowly coalescing, but the speed was agonizingly slow.

"If we let her awaken on her own..."

Old Jian performed a silent deduction in his mind, and then his brow furrowed deeply.

"At the very least... it will take another three or four days!"

"Three or four days?!"

Hearing this timeframe, Lin Xiyue was so anxious she almost jumped.

"That won't work!"

"There's no time at all!"

"Old Grandfather, is there any way to speed up her Awakening?"

Never mind three or four days; according to her brother's tone for help just now, even a delay of one more day, or even a few hours...

...and her brother's ashes might very well be scattered by someone!

"A way..."

Old Jian pondered for a moment, his gaze fixed on Shen Qingyi for a long time.

Finally, he nodded slowly, but his tone remained heavy.

"It's not that there isn't a way."

"In this young girl's current state, she's like a parched pool waiting to be filled with water."

"As long as we help her break through that final barrier, we can naturally accelerate the Awakening."

At this point, Old Jian sighed, a trace of helplessness in his eyes.

"But right now..."

"We are still missing some key conditions..."
