77: A strong man will be invincible while he is alive!
Lower Realm, Qingyun Continent.
Qingyun Sect, the residence of the Inner Disciples.
By now, the sun was high in the sky, its scorching rays illuminating this tranquil area.
Most of the Inner Disciples had already risen and begun their day of cultivation.
However, inside one of the pavilions, a rather handsome young man had just finished his game with the Duke of Zhou (referring to sleep).
"Ah, a beautiful day, starting with sleeping until I naturally wake up!"
After getting out of bed, the young man stretched comfortably, his movements lazy and content.
Immediately after, a surprising scene unfolded!
Suddenly, an dazzling light erupted from the young man's body, brilliant and eye-catching, like a scorching sun exploding in an instant.
Then, his cultivation aura surged dramatically, breaking through in an instant.
Finally, when the young man finished stretching and lowered his hands...
His cultivation realm had already advanced from the Eighth Level of Immortal King Realm to the Ninth Level of Immortal King Realm!!
"It's great to be able to add points to my cultivation just by sleeping. As long as I can keep laying low, I will eventually become invincible if I stay alive."
As soon as he finished speaking, with a thought from the young man...
The cultivation realm aura emanating from his body instantly reverted to the Golden Core Stage.
The young man's name was Lin Xun, and he was one of the Transmigrators.
Unlike other Transmigrators, he didn't have a system; his biggest cheat was that he could grow stronger just by sleeping.
As a seasoned web novel reader, he had thoroughly read various trope-filled novels in the past and deeply understood the dangers prevalent in the cultivation world.
Therefore, for the past few hundred years since his transmigration, Lin Xun had adhered to his self-established principle of laying low:
Absolutely no showing off or face-slapping;
Absolutely no getting close to beautiful women;
Absolutely no revealing his true strength in front of others;
Absolutely no making a move easily; when he did, he must turn them to ash;
Absolutely, the heavens and earth are vast, but the path of laying low is the greatest!
Thus, even though he had been a member of the Qingyun Sect for several hundred years, he had only managed to become an Inner Disciple's Senior Brother.
As for his former Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters...
Now, they had either become Sect Elders, founding ancestors of various factions, or wandering Immortals.
Of course, some had also died or become crippled.
For Lin Xun, as long as it didn't concern him, he stayed out of it. After all, only by staying alive could he embrace a better tomorrow.
"Senior Brother, have you woken up?"
At this moment, a young boy's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
The voice was clear and loud, with a hint of urgency.
Hearing this, Lin Xun opened the door, "Junior Brother Jiang, is something the matter?"
His face carried a trace of grogginess from just waking up.
"Senior Brother, it's like this: recently, there have been Demonic Beasts rampaging in Youyun Valley. Seventh Elder requests that you lead us to exterminate them."
As the young boy's aura surged, he was actually a Nascent Soul cultivator, yet even so, he still showed great respect to Lin Xun.
This was because when they had first entered the Inner Sect, they had all received help from Lin Xun.
"Let me lead you guys! What kind of international joke is this? I, your Senior Brother, am just a mere Golden Core cultivator!"
As Lin Xun spoke, his eyes widened, his expression filled with disbelief.
The young boy, hearing this, couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "But this was personally designated by the Seventh Elder!"
"Oh, really! Back then, you followed me around, calling me Senior Brother this and Senior Brother that. Now that you've become an Elder, you're capable, huh! You're actually sending me to my death!"
Lin Xun's face was filled with indignation, as if he had suffered a tremendous grievance.
The young boy quickly consoled him: "Senior Brother, don't be afraid. With me, a Nascent Soul cultivator, protecting you, nothing will happen!"
"Alright, then it's settled. Junior Brother, you absolutely cannot let your Senior Brother fall into danger!" Lin Xun's tone carried a hint of helplessness.
"Of course, after all, I, your Junior Brother, am a Nascent Soul expert!" The young boy patted his chest, guaranteeing.
"Got it, got it, you're the capable one, kid. Let's go!" Lin Xun rolled his eyes at him.
"Huh? Senior Brother, aren't you going to prepare, like equipping a magic tool for self-defense?" the young boy asked, puzzled.
Lin Xun spread his hands and said calmly: "You already said you'd protect me, so why would I need a magic tool?"
"Senior Brother is right, hehe."
The young boy scratched his head and smiled... After a rapid flight through the air, it wasn't long before Lin Xun, accompanied by a group of Inner Disciples, arrived at Youyun Valley.
At this moment, everyone stood in the air, looking down, only to see dense Demonic Qi pervading Youyun Valley.
The Demonic Qi was like a thick, heavy dark cloud, obscuring the sky and sun, causing a sense of oppression.
Unbeknownst to the others, two golden lights flickered in Lin Xun's eyes.
In just an instant, they pierced through layers of Demonic Qi, reaching deep into Youyun Valley.
After a thorough investigation, Lin Xun's eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly: there were actually three Great Demonic Beasts of Nascent Soul Transformation Stage and one Great Demonic Beast of the Integration Stage here!
Lin Xun didn't hesitate at all and quickly gestured to the people beside him: "Fellow Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, my eyelids suddenly twitched wildly, which is a very bad omen. Let's please go back!"
What kind of international joke was this, letting a bunch of Nascent Soul cultivators directly confront Great Demonic Beasts of Nascent Soul Transformation Stage and Integration Stage Great Demonic Beasts? Wasn't this purely seeking death?
"Senior Brother, don't be afraid. We just probed with our Nascent Soul aura and found only five Nascent Soul Great Demonic Beasts here; the rest are nothing to fear!" one disciple said confidently.
"That's right, Senior Brother. You just stand by and watch; we'll be back in no time!" another disciple said, eager to try.
"My great saber is already parched with thirst; it's time to test its power on the Demonic Beasts here!" a disciple holding a great saber shouted loudly... Before Lin Xun could speak again, everyone had already charged into Youyun Valley with the might of their Nascent Soul cultivation.
"Fellow Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, come back quickly!!" Lin Xun hastily exclaimed from behind.
With their current Nascent Soul cultivation, merely angering one Great Demonic Beast of Nascent Soul Transformation Stage would be enough to let them "try and die."
However, at this moment, bursts of battle had already erupted within Youyun Valley.
Clearly, none of the Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters had taken his words to heart.
"What to do, what to do? The Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters are going to be annihilated here!"
At this moment, Lin Xun also couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
After all, he had been laying low for several hundred years and didn't want to expose his cultivation strength here.
Besides strictly adhering to his self-established path of laying low...
There was another important reason.
That was, all along, he had always had a strange, vague feeling.
If he accidentally exposed his strength, he would face a catastrophe.
For him, who desired eternal life, this was something he absolutely did not want to see.
Even though he was now a peerless expert at the Ninth Level of Immortal King Realm, looking down upon the entire Qingyun Continent.
After all, there was still the legendary High Heavens; there, his current self would probably just be a nobody.
"No, I must quickly send a message to the Sect Master!"
With that, Lin Xun prepared to send a message to the Qingyun Sect Master, asking him to come and rescue his group of Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters.
However, three deafening, sky-shattering beast roars interrupted him.
"Roar..."
"Damn it, the Great Demonic Beasts of Nascent Soul Transformation Stage have awakened!" Lin Xun looked into the depths of Youyun Valley and shouted loudly: "Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, retreat quickly, there are Great Demonic Beasts of Nascent Soul Transformation Stage!"
In just an instant, his voice echoed throughout the entire valley.
