60: Conversion of the Skeleton Saint

Ancestor Taixuan was stunned after hearing this, unsure of what to say for a moment.

"Alright, it's up to you, kid. Take care of yourself," Ancestor Taixuan said.

He looked at Lin Xiao's location with fear, quickly burrowing back into the ring, which made Xiao Yan on the side a bit puzzled.

"Teacher, what's going on? Why is he always so scared when he encounters Lin Xiao? Could it be that they had some past grievances?"

"But didn't Teacher say he had been sleeping in the ring for a thousand years before waking up? Lin Xiao seems to be only in his twenties now. Could Teacher be lying to me?" Xiao Yan muttered to himself.

He couldn't figure out why for a moment, so he simply stopped thinking about it and walked into the distance.

Meanwhile, the Skeleton Saint, under Lin Xiao's fierce assault,

had been steadily retreating and was now sitting paralyzed on the ground.

"You, you brat, what do you want from me to let me go?" the Skeleton Saint said, looking at Lin Xiao.

"Let you go? For what good..." Lin Xiao heard the Skeleton Saint's words, but before he could finish speaking,

the System's crisp notification sound, which he hadn't heard for a long time, suddenly rang in his mind.

【Ding! Detecting the situation the Host is currently facing, you are now given three choices!】

【Choice One: Let the Skeleton Saint go, and receive a top Saint-Grade reward: the Author's kiss!】

【Choice Two: Use the Great Act of Universal Salvation Technique to convert the Skeleton Saint, and receive the Great Dao Treasure Arts: Great Disintegration Art!】

【Choice Three: Kill the Skeleton Saint, and receive a low-tier Sacred Artifact: Wind-Patterned Sacred Spear!】

"Great Disintegration Art?! What is that?" Lin Xiao couldn't help but be stunned as he looked at the rewards given by the System.

He had originally intended to kill the Skeleton Saint, but he hesitated, looking at the Skeleton Saint beside him.

"Consider yourself lucky, old man!" Lin Xiao said.

"I choose Two!"

As his voice fell, a warm white divine light bloomed from Lin Xiao's entire body, tightly enveloping the Skeleton Old Ancestor.

"What?! The Western Buddhist Sect's truepass Treasure Art, Great Act of Universal..." the Skeleton Saint said with a face full of fear.

Before he could finish speaking, his eyes suddenly changed.

Immediately, his gaze towards Lin Xiao became extremely fervent.

"The sea of suffering is boundless; turn back, and the shore is there."

"Thank you, Young Master, for guiding me and leading me back to the Righteous Path," the Skeleton Saint said very devoutly.

【Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully making a choice. You have received the Great Dao Treasure Arts: Great Disintegration Art!】

And as the Skeleton Saint was converted,

a brand new Great Dao Treasure Arts instantly appeared on the chaos tree leaves within Lin Xiao's body.

After familiarizing himself with the functions of this Great Dao Treasure Arts, Lin Xiao couldn't help but gasp.

"What?! This so-called Great Disintegration Art is actually so powerful?!" Lin Xiao exclaimed.

The Great Disintegration Art is an supreme treasure art evolved from the Great Law of Disintegration among the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws, said to be able to disintegrate all things.

Whether it's an artifact or a person, under this Great Disintegration Art, they will all turn into dust.

If Lin Xiao's strength were formidable, he could even directly disintegrate a world without effort.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Lin Xiao looked at the Skeleton Old Ancestor beside him, as if he had suddenly thought of something.

"What's the deal with the Jue Tian Palace you mentioned earlier? Can you tell me about it in general?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Of course, Young Master, I'd be happy to," the Skeleton Saint replied.

On the other side, Yu Liuli and Lin Wuyuan, among others, rushed over after seeing Lin Xiao achieve victory.

However, upon seeing the Skeleton Saint's devout expression at that moment, they were all stunned and looked at Lin Xiao with puzzled faces.

"I used a small trick to confuse his mind," Lin Xiao fabricated a reason to explain.

Although somewhat unconvinced, Yu Liuli and the others still nodded suspiciously.

Then, they all looked at the Skeleton Saint, listening to him recount stories from millions of years ago.

The general idea was that millions of years ago, the Jue Tian Palace, an overlord-level force from outside the domain, had always harbored ambitions to rule the entire Ancient Desolate Dao Domain.

It wanted to bring all the forces within the Ancient Desolate Dao Domain under the Jue Tian Palace's command.

They would become affiliated Sects or Families of the Jue Tian Palace, continuously providing it with Luck and Heaven-Defying Aptitude Disciples.

Naturally, all the forces, big and small, within the Ancient Desolate Dao Domain were the first to refuse this.

An irreconcilable conflict thus arose between the two sides, and later the conflict intensified.

All the forces within the Ancient Desolate Dao Domain eventually united and engaged in an unprecedented epic Saint War with the Jue Tian Palace.

Although they ultimately won a tragic victory against the Jue Tian Palace, the Ancient Desolate Dao Domain also lost over a hundred Saint Realm Experts as a result, and its ranking among the Three Thousand Dao Domains plummeted.

Finally, the remaining Saint Realm Experts within the Ancient Desolate Dao Domain had no choice but to activate supreme power to conceal the Ancient Desolate Dao Domain, thereby recuperating.

After hearing the Skeleton Saint's words, Lin Xiao and the others' hearts were turbulent for a long time.

"So, there was such a secret millions of years ago? Just how strong was this Jue Tian Palace? All the forces in our Ancient Desolate Dao Domain united, and it was only a tragic victory," Lin Haotian said with an incredulous look.

"Wasn't this place removed from the Ancient Desolate Dao Domain after that Saint War? So how do you know what happened afterward?" Lin Xiao asked, raising his question.

"Young Master, you wouldn't know this, but actually, before you came here, quite a few people from the Ancient Desolate Dao Domain have visited this Blood Spirit Realm over the past millions of years," the Skeleton Saint said with a smile.

"Others have been here? What does that mean? Didn't the gate to the Blood Spirit Realm only open recently?" Lin Haotian asked.

"Nothing is absolute. The spatial structure of the Blood Spirit Realm is unstable, and spatial rifts often appear. It's normal for such things to happen," the Skeleton Saint said with a smile.

Lin Xiao and the others nodded upon hearing this.

Indeed, it was possible that someone accidentally fell into a spatial rift and didn't die.

Then they entered another world; such incidents were not unheard of in the history of the Ancient Desolate Dao Domain.

"Lin Xiao, where are we going next?" Just then, Yu Liuli, who was beside him, suddenly asked.

"What, you're coming with me?" Lin Xiao said.

After the battle they just experienced, his favorable impression of Yu Liuli had increased quite a bit, and the previous antagonistic atmosphere had dissipated.

"You are my Junior Brother. As your Senior Sister, I have an obligation to protect you," Yu Liuli said stubbornly, looking at Lin Xiao.

After speaking, she turned her face away, a hint of pink appearing.

It was as if an iceberg had melted and spring had arrived.

However, she quickly returned to normal, regaining her cold demeanor.

"What a strange woman," Lin Xiao muttered to himself, looking at Yu Liuli.

He took out the map given to him by the Blood Spirit Saint and slowly spoke to Yu Liuli.

"The place we are currently in is Skull City, which is under the jurisdiction of Flowing Cloud Prefecture."

"Next, we will pass through Tianyun City and then head towards Blood Spirit City."

"Our Lin Clan's fallen Old Ancestor and your Sacred Emperor Sect's Old Ancestor should both be in Blood Spirit City at this moment."
