154: A change of fate

"Hey! Master! What are you talking about! You can live even longer! Quickly, quickly eat that Rebirth Pill!" Lin Zifeng hurriedly said to White Crane Taoist.

He was a little afraid of White Crane Taoist's current state, as if after that breath left him, he would pass away the next moment.

"Master! Don't think that this is the end! You should live well! Witness my growth with your own eyes! Carry on your legacy and make it flourish!" Lin Zifeng said to White Crane Taoist.

"Hmm! Yes! Yes! That's right! Hahahaha! I didn't expect it! I, Li He, would actually have such a day, when my time is almost up!" White Crane Taoist laughed heartily, tears streaming down his face as he nodded. He no longer hesitated and ate the Rebirth Pill.

White Crane Taoist closed his eyes immediately after consuming the Rebirth Pill. He could feel the pill melting upon entry, transforming into a hot current of air that entered his stomach and then spread from his stomach to all his limbs and bones.

His body seemed to transform into a furnace, constantly changing, with impurities continuously dissolving.

After years of accumulation, White Crane Taoist had resolved his inner turmoil and fulfilled his "last wish." Now, he was undergoing this "rebirth" process.

His "heart" seemed to be connected, his mind communicating with Heaven and Earth, and his own Small Heavenly Cycle circulation connecting with the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, forming a Grand Heavenly Cycle circulation.

At this moment, White Crane Taoist broke through Foundation Establishment! He reached the Tianqiao Realm.

His lifespan also leaped from 300-500 years in the Foundation Establishment Realm to over a thousand years.

White Crane Taoist's complexion visibly improved, becoming rosy and radiant, full of vigor and spirit, embodying the immortal-like appearance of white hair and youthful face.

"Congratulations, Master, on breaking through to the Tianqiao Realm!!!" Lin Zifeng was overjoyed, happy for his Master.

"This is all thanks to you!" White Crane Taoist said with a smile, looking at Lin Zifeng.

"Not at all! Master saved my life, took me in, accepted me as a disciple, and taught me cultivation wholeheartedly and without reservation! Before, this disciple was powerless! Now! This disciple is very happy to be able to help Master!" Lin Zifeng said to White Crane Taoist.

"Hahahaha!" White Crane Taoist laughed happily.

Their relationship, though master and disciple, was more like grandfather and grandson.

"Master! I'll write down the Spirit Crane Skill and give it to you now!" Lin Zifeng said to White Crane Taoist, then raised an eyebrow: "Master, shouldn't you change your title to Spiritual Crane Taoist now?"

"Hahahaha! That's true!" White Crane Taoist laughed heartily upon hearing Lin Zifeng's words. Today was more than just a double blessing!

The now enlightened White Crane Taoist, oh no, Spiritual Crane Taoist, now had a clear Dao heart, possessing a realm of natural Dao.

Coupled with the improvements from the Rebirth Pill, Spiritual Crane Taoist had gained a new life.

Spiritual Crane Taoist caught some wild game, and that evening, the grandfather and grandson enjoyed a good meal.

Although Spiritual Crane Taoist could abstain from grains and did not need to eat, or even sleep, after entering the Tianqiao Realm.

However, he maintained his long-standing habit, and given the special day, he naturally enjoyed a meal with Lin Zifeng.

Now, Spiritual Crane Taoist held infinite hope for the future.

Spiritual Crane Taoist, who had extremely poor cultivation talent, was actually quite insightful, as the White Crane Skill and White Crane Fist were both created by him!

Now with the Rebirth Pill, his cultivation aptitude had been greatly enhanced and elevated. Spiritual Crane Taoist, who had been accustomed to "hard times," now found himself extremely "wealthy"; his cultivation speed, in comparison, was like heaven and earth!

I, Li He, shall surely make the cultivation world know of me in this life!

After dinner, Spiritual Crane Taoist went to cultivate.

Lin Zifeng, on the other hand, returned to his room to rest.

Lying on his bed, Lin Zifeng suddenly received a prompt from the system:

"The Cross-Realm Platform invites you to join."

"— — — — — —"

"Oh? Someone joined!" Clarissa sensed it immediately and her consciousness entered the Cross-Realm Platform.

She saw the fourth slot appear, with: "Lin Zifeng - Ling Jue Realm (level 4 world) - Combat Power: level 1" written on it.

Yi Xin: "A new person has arrived!"

Bai Mo: "Welcome, newcomer!"

Lin Zifeng: "You... hello!"

Lin Zifeng looked at this form of "communication" and found it very novel, and he could feel that he could "enter" it.

However, he chose not to enter.

Bai Mo: "Holy crap! A level 4 world!"

Yi Xin: "His foundation must be very strong! Hey! Brother, tell us about your world?"

Lin Zifeng: "Uh..."

At this moment, Lin Zifeng realized that including him, there were only four people in the entire "group."

For the others, their names were followed by the world's name, world level, and then combat power.

Level 5, Level 2, level 3... and he was... Level 1 combat power!

However, his world level... seemed to be the highest.

But the lowest world level was... Administrator Clarissa? Combat Power Level 5... Lin Zifeng didn't know the difference in combat power levels, but seeing that the Administrator was such a unique existence, her strength should be the strongest, so a higher combat power level meant stronger...

And world level... The Administrator of a Level 1 world is the strongest, so does that mean the lower the world level, the higher it is?

Lin Zifeng didn't understand.

"I don't know much about my own world..." Lin Zifeng said, then recounted what he had heard from his Master and some of his experiences over the years.

Yi Xin: "Your world is quite interesting!"

Bai Mo: "I wonder if there will be a function to 'travel' to each other's worlds later!"

Clarissa: "Hard to say... But welcome to the new member! I'll tell you the rules of this place."

So Clarissa explained some of the rules and functions of the platform to Lin Zifeng.

"Okay! I've remembered it! Thank you! But I need to rest now! Goodbye!" Lin Zifeng remembered what Clarissa said, then his consciousness withdrew.

Lin Zifeng felt as if everything that happened today was a dream.

It was all too good!

He was afraid that when he woke up... it would all be a dream...

Lin Zifeng slowly drifted into sleep.

As dawn broke, Lin Zifeng woke up. As a cultivator, sleep requirements were naturally not very high.

Lin Zifeng got up, walked out, simply washed his face, and went to greet his Master.

"Master, good morning!" Lin Zifeng said, bowing slightly when he saw Spiritual Crane Taoist slowly practicing his fist techniques in the courtyard.

"Hmm! Good morning! Oh, right... Disciple, you said... how about we establish a sect?" Spiritual Crane Taoist said to Lin Zifeng while practicing his fist techniques.

"Good!" Lin Zifeng's eyes lit up, and he nodded heavily: "I fully support Master's decision!"

"Hahahaha!" Spiritual Crane Taoist laughed heartily: "However, this matter might require many years of accumulation... But starting today! The Immortal Crane Sect is officially established! I am the Sect Master, and you are the Sect Master's direct disciple! The Immortal Crane Sect's Senior Disciple!"

"Yes!" Lin Zifeng's face lit up with joy, and he accepted.

"Let's start building the sect here! But I'll handle this matter! We'll do it slowly, as for you, disciple, you might need to go out into the world!" Spiritual Crane Taoist said with a smile to Lin Zifeng.

"Master means... to let this disciple go out and make a name for our Immortal Crane Sect?" Lin Zifeng asked, looking at Spiritual Crane Taoist.

"Hahahaha! Silly child, it's time for you to gain experience! Originally, it should have been after my time was up... but now... it might not come to that! You naturally need to go out and gain experience!" Spiritual Crane Taoist said with a hearty laugh.
