“Lin Yun didn’t die, and now that he’s stepped into immortality, do you know how hard it will be to eliminate him?” the Demon Marshal roared angrily at Dijiang.
All along, what the Demon Marshal feared most was Lin Yun’s connection to the dragon race, not Lin Yun himself.
“I… I understand, my lord… What do we do now? I’m willing to atone for my mistake,” Dijiang hurriedly stood up, pledging earnestly.
“What’s done is done. What else can we do? From now on, our plans must account for the dragon race’s threat and prepare for the worst. Fortunately, our demon race isn’t without means or backing!” the Demon Marshal’s terrifying eyes glinted with cold intent.
…
The news of Lin Yun stepping into immortality quickly spread to the Heavenly Sword Sect.
“What? Lin Yun has become an immortal? Great Elder, is this true?” The sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect stood up abruptly, utterly shocked.
“Sect Leader, it’s absolutely true! Lin Yun has stepped into immortality, and he’s overcome the Soul-Breaking Toxin. It’s double good news!” The Great Elder’s aged face was wreathed in smiles.
“Haha, great! Great! Great! I knew Lin Yun wouldn’t fall so easily! This guy has created another miracle!” The sect leader cheered repeatedly, barely able to contain his excitement.
“Sect Leader, from now on, our Heavenly Sword Sect is a sect with an immortal!” the Great Elder said excitedly.
Though Lin Yun hadn’t stayed at the Heavenly Sword Sect, he was still part of it and held the position of vice sect leader.
Having an immortal vice sect leader would completely elevate the Heavenly Sword Sect’s status in the martial world.
The news of Lin Yun’s immortality soon spread throughout the entire Heavenly Sword Sect, and the area at the foot of the sect’s mountain erupted in celebration.
In a corner of the Heavenly Sword Sect’s plaza, Lin Yun’s old friends—Daniel, Zhijin, and Dali Yuantai—gathered together.
“Senior Brother Lin Yun is always so incredible! Not only did he cure the Soul-Breaking Toxin, but he also became an immortal. Haha, our Heavenly Sword Sect now has an immortal!” Zhijin grinned foolishly.
Though Lin Yun was now the vice sect leader, Zhijin and the others still habitually called him Senior Brother.
“It’s unbelievable. Senior Brother Lin Yun has become a supreme immortal. Back then, I entered the Heavenly Sword Sect with him. This guy’s growth is just too astonishing. Even the demon race’s Soul-Breaking Toxin couldn’t dim his brilliance,” Dali Yuantai sighed.
“Back then, I could still spar with him. Now, I don’t even have the qualifications to look up to him. Geniuses like us are simply nothing compared to him,” Daniel said with a sigh.
At that moment, a crowd of new disciples gathered around.
“Senior Brother Daniel, Senior Brother Zhijin, can you tell us about Vice Sect Leader Lin Yun’s stories from back then?” the new disciples asked, brimming with curiosity.
“This guy’s legendary stories are countless. Since we’re so happy today, let me tell you a couple!” Zhijin cleared his throat and stood up.
…
The news of Lin Yun stepping into immortality also reached the Beiliang Kingdom. Beiliang Yan, upon hearing that Lin Yun had become an immortal, was naturally thrilled. He often boasted to his close aides about having such an incredible friend.
The Wanderer and Du Yuanzi also soon learned of Lin Yun’s ascension to immortality.
During the time Lin Yun was poisoned with the Soul-Breaking Toxin and staying in the Huoyun Empire, the Wanderer and Du Yuanzi had been by his side, so they knew how dire his situation had been. For the past twenty years, they had completely lost hope, believing Lin Yun’s brilliant life might end in tragedy.
After all, there was no known cure for the Soul-Breaking Toxin.
So, when they received the news, they were shocked and incredulous. After confirming its authenticity, both were overcome with ecstatic joy.
Especially the Wanderer, who felt immense pride in having such a prodigious disciple.
Having a disciple who became an immortal was enough for the Wanderer to boast about for a lifetime.
With this alone, no one in the Star Martial Empire would dare provoke the Wanderer, for he had an immortal disciple!
…
Dragon Race.
“What? That rascal Lin Yun not only cured the poison but also became an immortal? Is the news confirmed?” Little Green Dragon was stunned upon hearing this.
“Young Master, the news is absolutely certain!” Five-Clawed Golden Dragon said.
“Haha, that guy’s incredible! I said I’d discuss transferring the Soul-Breaking Toxin with him in a few years, but he actually resolved it himself and stepped into immortality!” Little Green Dragon burst into laughter.
This was undoubtedly fantastic news for Little Green Dragon.
“Young Master, according to the news, Lin Yun faced his tribulation outside the Divine Capital City of the Huoyun Empire, witnessed by countless citizens. It’s said he triggered the Supreme Golden Thunder Tribulation but still succeeded,” Five-Clawed Golden Dragon said.
“The Supreme Golden Thunder Tribulation?”
Little Green Dragon was startled, then laughed, “No wonder he’s the guy I had my eye on. To trigger the Supreme Golden Thunder Tribulation and still succeed! This guy is truly prodigious enough!”
Learning that Lin Yun had become an immortal, Little Green Dragon was not only delighted but also finally able to stop worrying about him.
Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, standing nearby, silently marveled at Lin Yun’s prowess.
When Lin Yun had fallen to ruin, it had deemed him hopeless and even spoken with him privately, hoping he wouldn’t drag Little Green Dragon down. It never expected Lin Yun to rise from the ashes and become an immortal.
…
Huoyun Empire.
The news of Lin Yun’s immortality spread rapidly throughout the entire Huoyun Empire, reaching Dongyuan Prefecture.
Dongyuan Prefecture erupted in celebration, especially the sects and families that had fought alongside Lin Yun, who were overjoyed at his resurgence.
Divine Capital City.
Inside the imperial palace.
After Lin Yun stepped into immortality, the palace celebration continued, now with an added focus: celebrating Lin Yun’s ascension to immortality.
The banquet lasted another two days and nights before concluding.
After the banquet, Emperor Huoyun told Lin Yun to return home to reunite with his family and await further notice.
Lin Mansion.
“Dad!”
As soon as Lin Yun returned, his daughter Lin Kexin rushed to him with a radiant smile.
“Dad, you’re amazing! You’re now a supreme immortal with an infinite lifespan. Kexin no longer has to worry about you dying!” Lin Kexin said joyfully.
When Lin Yun was poisoned with the Soul-Breaking Toxin, with only decades to live, everyone had feared the day he would pass away.
