Nirvana Bond

Bai Ling stepped out of the stone door, her mood slightly lightened!

A surge of heroic ambition, like a fish leaping in the vast sea and a bird soaring in the high sky, began to grow within her.

Suddenly, her expression froze!

In front of the stone door, a white figure stood silently on the ground.

He wore a white robe, his long hair dancing in the wind.

His figure was tall and slender, his demeanor handsome and refined!

His eyes were as bright as the stars.

His chiseled face carried an air of gentle elegance.

Sunlight filtered through the dappled branches, casting faint golden fragments upon him, making him appear even more sacred and transcendent.

Standing there, he was a beautiful sight in the world.

He slowly overlapped with the figure she had thought of day and night.

Gentle and refined, detached from the world.

Like an immortal descended to earth.

“Sir~!”

She couldn't believe it.

She wondered if she was hallucinating.

This person was none other than Zhong Qing, who had been waiting outside the stone door.

Seeing Bai Ling, a smile emerged from the depths of Zhong Qing’s heart.

“Long time no see!”

This smile was like a clear spring, flowing into Bai Ling’s heart.

“Sir, it’s really you!”

Only then did she truly believe.

This was not a hallucination.

Nor was it a dream.

It was Zhong Qing, truly standing across from her.

To Bai Ling, Zhong Qing was a ray of light in her heart.

When she was deeply mired in darkness, he rescued her from suffering and pulled her out of the mire.

He was one of the few people in this world she would think of and miss day and night.

As for Zhong Qing.

Bai Ling was his Disciple, an important existence that helped them achieve success on his cultivation path.

In his heart, she held a pivotal position.

Their eyes met.

Bai Ling appeared very excited.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her large eyes seemed to well up with tears, filled with tenderness.

A thousand words eventually condensed into a single question.

“Sir, why have you come?”

In Bai Ling’s mind.

Zhong Qing was still the Mufu Peak Master of the Immortal River Sect in the Eastern Domain.

He shouldn't have appeared here at all.

Zhong Qing smiled and replied, “I knew you were here, so I came over!”

A simple sentence, yet it instantly brought tears to Bai Ling’s eyes.

Since the tragic death of her family and friends, she had forgotten what it felt like to be cared for!

Moreover, in her opinion, Zhong Qing coming here must have involved immense risk.

After all, the Northern Domain was not like the Eastern Domain.

Its overall strength was far superior to that of the Eastern Domain.

For him to travel across thousands of mountains and rivers to find her, how could she not be moved?

Zhong Qing naturally didn't know that his single sentence had sparked infinite imagination in Bai Ling.

After pondering for a moment, he directly stated his intention.

“Bai Ling, I intend to take you as my Disciple.”

“Are you willing to become my Disciple?!”

Upon hearing this, Bai Ling’s fair face froze.

Then a hint of strangeness appeared.

Sir, it seems, isn’t as strong as me yet!

Moreover, she had now obtained the Immortal Body.

Soaring to great heights was just around the corner.

Why would he suddenly want to take her as his Disciple?

However, in Bai Ling’s view, she could refuse anyone in the world, but not Sir.

Not only because Sir had saved her life.

But also because Sir held a unique place in her heart.

Thinking of this, she didn't even hesitate much.

“Alright!”

If he wanted to take a Disciple, she would agree.

Without any reason.

As Bai Ling agreed.

The system’s voice rang in Zhong Qing’s mind.

“Congratulations, Host, for successfully taking Bai Ling as your Disciple and activating the Nirvana Bond!”

“Nirvana Bond: Each time the Disciple dies, they will gain a massive amount of cultivation! Additionally, the Disciple's cultivation can be returned to the Host at ten thousand times the rate.”

“Congratulations, Host, for simultaneously acquiring the Nirvana Physique! (Nirvana Physique: Possesses an Immortal Body. After death, one can revive on the spot. After revival, cultivation will surge by a certain amount, with higher cultivation leading to a greater surge. The number of deaths is unlimited!)”

“This bond can be activated or deactivated at the Host’s will!”

“When the Nirvana Bond is active, the cultivation gained by the Disciple upon death will be doubled.”

“Also, congratulations, Host, for activating the Nirvana Bond for the first time, gaining a cultivation boost. The Host’s cultivation has reached the Three Yang Second Realm.”

As the system prompts kept coming, Zhong Qing was moved, and at the same time, he felt a surge of power directly entering his body.

His long-stagnant cultivation directly broke through to the Three Yang Second Realm.

At the same time, he also realized that this Immortal Body was truly heaven-defying.

No wonder the system said he could only take Bai Ling as a Disciple after she obtained a special physique.

With this unlimited number of deaths, it meant that no matter what situation he encountered in the future, he could always remain in an inherently undefeated position.

No matter how powerful the enemy was, they could kill him.

But each time he was killed, he could not only revive on the spot, but his cultivation could even increase by a certain amount.

He would get stronger with each fight!

This was simply a blatant cheat!

It had to be said, Bai Ling’s opportunity was truly heaven-defying, and he had benefited from being with her.

Of course, the benefits for Bai Ling were also enormous. The activation of the bond allowed Bai Ling to gain double the cultivation each time she died.

Don't underestimate a mere double.

In a situation of 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2… Bai Ling could avoid many detours in this life.

Currently, Zhong Qing had already activated three bonds.

One was the Waste Bond, where the Disciple could increase their cultivation speed by a hundredfold.

One was the strengthened Overlord Body Bond, where the Disciple could gain a thousandfold injury recovery.

One was the Nirvana Bond, where the Disciple’s cultivation gain upon each death could be doubled.

And no matter which bond it was, as long as the Disciple’s cultivation increased, that cultivation would be returned to him at ten thousand times the rate.

With three bonds working in tandem.

Zhong Qing felt like he was about to truly take off!

Moreover, the Waste Bond and Nirvana Bond were just ordinary versions.

If they were strengthened like the Overlord Body Bond, his takeoff speed might surge even further, and he might even gain two additional divine skills.

At this rate of development, Zhong Qing felt that his future path seemed to have a clear end in sight.

That was invincibility!

“Whew!”

Zhong Qing took a deep breath, suppressing the restlessness in his heart.

He opened his personal attribute panel.

“Host: Zhong Qing!”

“Cultivation: Three Yang Second Realm!”

“Disciple: Lin Feng, early Mystic Realm, hundredfold amplification active, cultivation returned to Host at ten thousand times the rate!”

“Disciple: Su Ye, Star Profound Realm Great Perfection, hundredfold amplification active, cultivation returned to Host at ten thousand times the rate!”

“Disciple: Du Hao, mid Tianxuan Realm, thousandfold recovery active, cultivation returned to Host at ten thousand times the rate!”

“Disciple: Bai Ling, mid Tianxuan Realm, death cultivation × 2 active, cultivation returned to Host at ten thousand times the rate!”

“Activated Bonds: Waste Bond 2/2! (Ordinary Version)”

“Activated Bonds: Overlord Body Bond! (Strengthened Version!)”

“Activated Bonds: Nirvana Bond. (Ordinary Version)”

“More bonds to be developed!”

“Acquired Physiques: Overlord Body, Immortal Body!”

“Acquired Special Skills: Old Six Halo, Heavenly Eye, Same-Level Crushing, Formation Immunity, Own Small World.”

“Acquired Special Weapon: Zero Seal.”

“Acquired Mount: Holy Blood Qilin.”

At this moment, the attribute panel had once again become significantly richer.

Although Bai Ling, Su Ye, and even Lin Feng had also activated the hundredfold amplification.

The effects were not the same.

The former was a cultivation amplification obtained after death, while the latter two were cultivation amplifications during normal cultivation.

However, compared to the two newly accepted Disciples, Su Ye and Lin Feng, the two earliest Disciples, had the lowest cultivation.

Of course, this did not mean they were not diligent.

In fact, Su Ye and Lin Feng had been under Zhong Qing’s tutelage for almost exactly one year.

To be able to rise from ordinary people to their current cultivation in one year, their progress would definitely make ninety-nine percent of the world’s prodigies feel ashamed.

But no matter what, relatively speaking, they were somewhat holding back.

This made Zhong Qing ponder that when he returned next time, he must find a way to improve their strength as much as possible.

Of course, that was a matter for later.

His current focus should be on Bai Ling.

The Disciple had been taken, and the next step was to deal with Bai Ling’s immediate affairs.
