31: Ninth-grade Yuanyang Yuanying, Medicine Immortal awakens

Dao Heaven Sect's core mountain range, Dao Tian Mountain.

"That Jiang Lin… that kid is so late, he's kept the Sect Master waiting for nearly an hour! How outrageous!"

"Exactly! The entire Jiang Family is insane. That madwoman came yesterday, so anxious she directly ruined hundreds of Preserving Yuan Pills! Hundreds! And now, the next day, the ceremony is about to begin, and that brat is still late and nowhere to be seen!"

"Enough, enough. We've already had three Preserving Yuan Pills deducted this month. If this gets back to that madwoman, aren't you afraid she'll destroy the entire batch? What will we old bones do next month?"

Upon hearing this, the dozen or so powerful Elders in the main hall, all of whom had illustrious reputations, exchanged glances.

The Sect Master sat in the main seat, looking at the colorful Medicinal Pill in his spatial ring, feeling incredibly comfortable.

A top-grade Heaven-Protecting Spirit-Extinguishing Pill!

It's fine. It's fine for him to wait here for a whole day.

Jiang Lin was originally going to become a Dao Child, just eight days earlier, so there was no loss at all.

He had gained a Divine Pill for Undergoing Tribulation and preserving his life for free, which was a huge profit!

He feigned a joyful expression: "I bear some responsibility for this matter too. I'm preparing to go into seclusion tomorrow to attempt a Breakthrough to the Mahayana Stage, so I had to move it up. That kid Jiang Lin probably only found out at the last minute!"

At these words, everyone exchanged glances and said nothing more.

At this moment, Jiang Lin, accompanied by the stunning Xia Shirou, entered the main hall and immediately bowed, saying:

"Disciple Jiang Lin suddenly had a Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage Perfection this morning, so I delayed the Sect Master, Revered Master, and all the Elders. Please punish me!"

That's right, Jiang Lin had successfully Broken Through to the Nascent Soul Stage Perfection thanks to his insights this morning.

He had also formed the Ancient Poisonous Nascent Soul, Myriad Poison Nascent Soul, ranked forty-seventh!

He didn't wait for Shangguan Yaoyao's promised Ancient Nine Nether Python Poison Nascent Soul, which was ranked third.

The Materials for that would take too long to prepare, and Jiang Lin couldn't afford to wait!

He had to keep up with Xiao Dong's pace, otherwise, as a villain, he would be mercilessly abandoned by the Dao of Luck!

Moreover, he still didn't trust the Shangguan Family's things...

In the main hall of Dao Tian Mountain, the Elders' gazes focused on Jiang Lin.

Faced with Jiang Lin's plea for punishment, everyone exchanged glances.

Who would dare punish him?

If they punished him, their Medicinal Pill quota for this month would probably be completely gone!

Jiang Lin also knew that Jiang Zhiyi must have paved the way for him, so he wasn't worried at all.

Just then, someone in the crowd suddenly realized something.

"What did Jiang Lin just say? He advanced to Nascent Soul Perfection?"

"How is that possible? Didn't he just advance to the Nascent Soul Stage last month?"

"The Aura is right, it's Nascent Soul Perfection, he just Broke Through today!"

"He didn't take Medicinal Pills, did he? That's easy to damage one's Foundation."

"No Medicinal Pills were taken. The Aura is very profound, and his True Qi has already risen to Emperor Rank. The Nascent Soul he formed is an Ancient Myriad Poison Nascent Soul of Emperor Rank quality!"

"Speaking of which, if it's already Emperor Rank, why would he still need Nine Twists Intestine Severing Poison?"

"Is Jiang Zhiyi's thought process the same as a normal person's?"

The Elders whispered among themselves, while the Sect Master's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end.

All of this was trivial.

What did Jiang Lin's Breakthrough have to do with him? He only cared about his own cultivation.

Even if it was imperial power, the Dao Heaven Sect would only listen to commands, not declarations!

In this world where strength was revered, only by being strong enough could no one restrict him!

"Alright, Jiang Lin, I won't blame you. Your talent is sufficient, your character has been recommended by the Elders, and your cultivation is now outstanding among your peers. I ask you, are you willing to become the Dao Child of the Dao Heaven Sect, to promote the Sect's strength, and defend the prestige of Great Xia!"

"I ask, are you willing?"

This question seemed to come from the Nine Heavens, resounding like thunder in Jiang Lin's Soul.

The Dao Heaven Sect, established for ten thousand years, had gone through the Human Race's survival war, the Hundred Dynasties' struggle, and the current Myriad Realms War.

As the core force of this world, it had always been at the apex of the pyramid.

Every one of its Dao Children, no matter when, was an outstanding member of the Human Race.

"I am willing!"

Although Jiang Lin knew in his heart that this Dao Child position would soon be taken by Xiao Dong, he still answered loudly.

This was a painstaking effort from Jiang Zhiyi, and he didn't want to waste that woman's intentions.

The heavy bell rang, and the oppressive Qi of the Human Race spread. The Dao Heaven Secret Realm began to emit a brilliant radiance.

"The 1,200th generation Dao Child Investiture Ceremony begins!"

With the grand ceremonial music, the complex ceremony officially began.

The former Jiang Lin, though a dissolute young Revered Master, was not a good-for-nothing.

A prominent Family could not raise a good-for-nothing, let alone someone who was the designated Young Lord!

Jiang Lin performed all the ceremonial etiquette with grace and dignity, neither humble nor arrogant.

Everyone who witnessed it couldn't help but acknowledge the Jiang Family's upbringing and profound heritage.

At this moment, the young man before them showed no trace of frivolity, no hint of a dissolute young Revered Master's shadow.

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim inwardly: "What a magnificent young man!"

In the furthest corner of the main hall, Xia Shirou gazed foolishly at Jiang Lin in the center, murmuring:

"Is this my husband, the person I will spend my life with? I'm so happy..."

In the distance, through the Sky-Peering Mirror.

Jiang Zhiyi also stared blankly at Jiang Lin's figure.

He, she had painstakingly nurtured step by step.

Every piece of etiquette, every expression, he performed perfectly.

My Lin, has truly grown up.

...

Xiao Family, back mountain.

A vigorous Aura shot straight into the sky.

Xiao Dong had Broken Through!

Nascent Soul Perfection!

What he condensed was the Nine-Rank Yuanyang Nascent Soul, recognized by Heaven and Earth as the most top-tier Nascent Soul.

From this moment on, Xiao Dong truly embarked on his Dao path!

As the saying goes, a Nascent Soul born in the belly, from then on, my fate is in my hands, not in Heaven's!

Furthermore, the Nine-Rank Yuanyang Nascent Soul that Xiao Dong condensed was recognized as the strongest type of Nascent Soul.

The strongest True Dragon Bloodline, coupled with this strongest Nascent Soul, the protagonist's radiance had already begun to fully reveal itself!

The only regrettable thing was that when his Nascent Soul took shape, his True Qi had not yet reached the top-tier Divine-Grade.

It doesn't matter, the Heavenly Dao's replenishment has arrived!

Heaven and Earth changed color, and anomalies appeared.

"Nine Ranks descend, Heavenly Dao bestows blessings, Profound Yuan congratulates!"

Waves of Heaven and Earth's power washed over his body.

His Medium Grade Emperor Rank True Qi directly elevated to Top Grade Emperor Rank!

As the auspicious clouds dispersed, a familiar voice echoed in the depths of his Soul.

"Kid, you were too reckless! Why didn't you wait for your True Qi to rise to Divine-Grade before letting your Nascent Soul take shape?"

"Otherwise, your True Qi would already be Top Grade Divine-Grade now!"

With the Heavenly Dao's replenishment, Duan Tianya awoke from his coma.

Xiao Dong exclaimed joyfully: "Old man, you're awake!"

"Tell me about your situation, what happened?"

"Your True Qi quality wasn't perfect when your Nascent Soul took shape, you're wasting natural resources and ruining your future!"

"And why is your essence overdrawn so severely?"
