"[Only the one who takes all as mentor can truly become the teacher of the world; Reward: Heart of the Teacher]" The Teacher's Path System released a new mission. However, Lin Bai only gave it a quick glance before he gave up. This mission was impossible to complete at first glance. The concept of acknowledging everyone as mentors is too vast. With my current abilities and prestige, I don't need to regard everyone as my mentor; I could force everyone to become my disciple. Why bother wasting an extra step? Moreover, the mission reward is the Heart of the Teacher. It might be just like the Heart of Sky Demon, a beating heart, something of little value! Suddenly, Lin Bai froze. Heart of the Teacher? One Heart of Sky Demon, one Body of the War God—neither made much of an impression on me. However, when the Teacher's Path System produced a Heart of the Teacher, it made me a bit apprehensive. An idea struck me: could the System be planning to resurrect through me? If most of my current powers were given by the System, what would happen if I resurrected the System? Who would control whom? I have to be vigilant. My current abilities are enough. This is good. There's no need to accept a task if it's not necessary… Because there were too many people who wanted to ascend, and the Supporting Group with tens of thousands of people singing and dancing was still on their way, the Guiding Light did not dissipate for a while. Only a few of his puppets and a few reluctant Players, who were still muttering to change Lin Bai's mind, were left by Lin Bai's side, as well as the cultivators from the seven righteous sects and the five demonic sects. Lin Bai's own strength was still at the peak of the world. The ascension of Qing Yun had not cut off their shared connection, which made him more confident that Magpie Bridge could connect the Mortal World and the Fairy World. "Greetings, Alliance Hierarch Lin." The cultivators of the seven righteous sects and the five demonic sects hesitated for a moment before they came over to pay respects to Lin Bai. "No need for such formalities." Lin Bai's gaze swept over them, his eyes gentle. "You all know the current situation. Now, I am truly the foremost person in the world, and I'm about to ascend to the Fairy World, but this doesn't mean I will lose control over the Mortal World. My junior brother Lin Si Bai is here. You should each return to your own sect, inform your Sect Leaders, and have them join the Justice League! Let's work together to figure out a way to stabilize the world's situation and minimize the devastating catastrophe. How does that sound?" The cultivators looked at each other in consternation. The Mahayana Realm cultivator from Heavenly Dao Sect gave Lin Bai a glance and said reluctantly, "We shall obey the Alliance Hierarch's command." The situation was stronger than their will. Even if Lin Bai couldn't take action, Phoenix Seeks Phoenix alone was enough to intimidate everyone. If he could actually connect the Magpie Bridge from the heavens, it would be even more terrifying. "Tell them, if they join the Justice League, we will let bygones be bygones. If they don't join the Justice League, we will settle new grievances and old ones together. Although I've passed the Heavenly Tribulation, when I think about how you schemed against me and trapped me in the Heavenly Tribulation for more than eighty days, my thoughts become somewhat unsettled. This affects my comprehension of the Heavenly Dao!" Lin Bai looked up at the Guiding Light and shook his head. Now that Lin Bai had absolute strength to control the world, of course, he would use his power to oppress people openly. Those who did not comply would be extinguished. There was no need for any more plots and tricks. As for previous grudges, they really weren't a big deal to me. I'm not that petty! "Yes," everyone answered tremulously. They didn't know what their sects thought, but facing Lin Bai now, they didn't dare harbor any will to fight deep in their hearts. "Four White, I'm going up to see what the situation is. If I can't come back temporarily due to unexpected circumstances, you will be in charge of everything. Bring together the high-level members of various countries and the high-level Players to the Holy Extreme Sect, and consolidate all the forces that can be consolidated." With the world at peace, Lin Bai no longer bothered to conceal his identity using terms like 'descended one'; he directly referred to people from the real world as 'Players'. After saying this, Lin Bai took out Qing Yu's Card and handed it to Four White, while he kept Flower Stream's Card with him. Without waiting for the members of the Justice League in the Phoenix Seeking Phoenix Group, he took the first step into the Guiding Light. If the Heavenly Tribulation used the Tribulation of Demon Extermination to trick me, they might close the Guiding Light and trap me in the Mortal World. Since he had already opened a passage between the Fairy and Mortal Worlds, Lin Bai naturally wouldn't allow such a thing to happen. He was going to ascend; he didn't want to go through another Heavenly Tribulation. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝕟𝕖𝕥 In the blink of an eye, the scenery in front of Lin Bai had changed. Before him was a vast expanse of white fog. The richness of the Spiritual Energy was nearly a hundred times that of the Mortal World. Each breath seemed to enhance his cultivation. "...You bunch of under-cultivated fellows managed to ascend, and so many of you at once! Clearly, there's a glitch in the Guiding Light. It's a great mercy that we didn't send you back to the Mortal World to reincarnate. Yet you're here, being picky and obstructing me from shutting off the Guiding Light. You truly have no manners! Make way immediately, or if I kill you despicable lot, you'll have died for nothing..." A mocking voice reached Lin Bai's ears. He turned his head to look. Qing Yun and the others had gathered together, protectively in front of him. A young man in a silver helmet and armor led a troop, holding a Silver Spear, glaring and reprimanding them. "General, we have one important person who hasn't come up yet. Could you please wait for him before closing the Guiding Light..." Qing Yun was mid-sentence when he suddenly sensed movement behind him. He whipped around, his face alight with pleasant surprise, "Master, you're here?" Seeing Lin Bai, who had ascended, Tuohai and the others breathed a sigh of relief and paid their respects to him one by one. Lin Bai nodded at them and asked, "What happened?" As he spoke, he looked at the young man opposite him. The young general seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, making it impossible for Lin Bai to discern his cultivation level. Lin Bai sighed inwardly, As expected, after changing the Map, everything has to start over. How unlucky! "Immortals are superior to mortals. Dominating the Mortal World doesn't demonstrate your true kingly aura. If you want to be supreme, aim for the highest. The Big Immortal Supreme System will help you ascend to the throne of the Three Realms and grasp the ultimate authority." [Initial Mission: Immortal Supreme's Battle of Renown. Defeat the person before you and establish your own territory. Reward: Marking (You can mark any target)] Lin Bai was stunned. Good heavens! The System, as expected, just loves to sow chaos. I've just arrived in the Fairy World, haven't even found my footing, and it's already defined the Fairy World as my enemy! Indeed, is the System's purpose to make me conquer worlds? "You're their Master?" The young general looked at Lin Bai coldly. "Your cultivation is indeed sufficient to ascend. Since you're up, step aside and let me close the Guiding Light. Then, you will all follow me to the Inspection Bureau to explain to General Nan how you smuggled yourselves into the Fairy World..." Smuggled? Explain? Lin Bai frowned. Those aren't good words. This fellow is clearly treating us as criminals! But the Heavenly Tribulation struck us for a full eighty-one days, and even sneak-attacked me at the end. Don't these guys know? Something's wrong! Lin Bai looked around. Besides the young general and the ten men he led, the area was empty. He smiled faintly. The Red String shot out, appearing suddenly on the young general, and in a few wraps, bound him in a humiliating Quadriga Binding, suspending him in the air. Afterward, ten more refined ropes flew out, tying up the Heavenly Soldiers behind him. In the blink of an eye, they were disarmed. I'll take this mission. Suddenly bound, the young general seemed not to have expected Lin Bai to attack him so abruptly. He was completely stunned and even forgot to struggle. "Qing Yun, leave this silver-robed one; restrain the rest," Lin Bai transmitted to Qing Yun. Qing Yun sighed, his figure Flashed, and he had already immobilized the Heavenly Soldiers. Seeing Lin Bai and Qing Yun suddenly attack, Tuohai and the others had dark lines on their foreheads. As expected, our Master is used to being lawless; he has no idea what low-profile means, nor what reverence is... We're at the Crossing Tribulation Realm, and we can't even see through the cultivation of that Silver-robed Young General. We were thinking of lying low and figuring out the situation first, but Lin Bai? One disagreement and he ties the other party up... Does the Righteous Door really have this much confidence? Only then did the Silver-robed General realize something was amiss. A white light erupted from his body as he attempted to break the Red String. But after struggling several times, he failed to snap the red cord. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes. He stopped struggling, glared at Lin Bai, and two beams of light, like sharp swords, shot from his eyes towards Lin Bai. Lin Bai used Flash to evade. He Flashed again, appearing next to the Silver-robed Young General, and struck out with his palm towards the general's chest. A loud crash echoed. A layer of silver glow emerged from his armor, blocking Lin Bai's palm strike. The young general sneered, "A mere Mortal World cultivator, how could you understand the mysteries of an Immortal Magic Treasure? Even if you hit me all day, you wouldn't break the defense of this Silver Light Armor. Be smart and release me quickly. I can still plead your case to General Nan, perhaps leave you an intact corpse..." His words were cut short. Ye Song and the others were already looking at him with sympathy. The young general still hadn't understood what was happening when a hammer appeared in Lin Bai's hand. Lin Bai looked at the young general under him and shook his head, "This is the downside of being too powerful; one only thinks of solving problems with Martial Power! Indeed, at all times, one must be cautious. As the saying goes, 'even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit'!" As he spoke, he raised the hammer and brought it down on the Silver-robed Young General's helmet. With one strike, the silver light on the helmet vanished, and it cracked in two. The young general struggled again. "What kind of hammer is that?" "General White, this hammer is called the Crushing Immortal Hammer. It's specially designed to break these so-called Immortal Magic Treasures of yours." Lin Bai smiled faintly, raised the hammer, and rapidly smashed it against the general's Protecting Neck, battle robe, armguards, Heart Protecting Mirror, and other pieces of equipment. Wherever the hammer fell, the Magic Treasures shattered with a sound. [Resentment from White Maple; +1+1+1...] "You..." White Maple involuntarily smiled, but as he felt the Magic Treasures on his body lose their connection one by one, his smile filled with horror. With a sudden jerk, he vanished from under Lin Bai's hand, reappearing a kilometer away. He paused, glaring hatefully at Lin Bai, and roared, "Kid, you just wait! You're finished..." Damn it! The Fairy World is indeed different; even a random person can Flash! How troublesome! Lin Bai frowned slightly, glanced at Qing Yun, and brazenly activated Phoenix Seeks Phoenix. However, White Maple not only didn't return to perform, but he also Flashed again, fleeing even farther. A woman? Doesn't look like it! Lin Bai was taken aback. He used Provoke and shouted, "Come back!" The next moment, White Maple, who had Flashed more than several li away, returned to Lin Bai's side in a few Flashes, his eyes bloodshot. Light shot from his eyes again. "Die!" Lin Bai Flashed again to dodge. White Maple froze, seemingly unable to understand why he had inexplicably returned. He frowned and once again used Flash to escape. "You are not allowed to leave!" Lin Bai shouted again. White Maple Flashed back angrily, attacked Lin Bai, came to his senses, and tried to leave again... After this happened several times, White Maple finally stopped trying to flee. He glared at Lin Bai, incensed. "Who on earth are you? Someone who ascended from the Lower Realm absolutely wouldn't possess such bizarre Divine Skills..." "Careful!" Qing Yun's voice suddenly rang out. Lin Bai spun around and swung the hammer behind him. The Silver Spear, lunging at his back, clattered askew to the ground, losing its connection with White Maple. Tuohai and the others exchanged glances, their hearts still pounding with fear. Immortals are truly formidable. If Lin Bai hadn't been here, this Silver-robed Young General could probably have wiped all of us out by himself! A trickle of blood escaped the corner of White Maple's mouth. He stared in horror at the hammer in Lin Bai's hand. "What exactly is that hammer? It can even destroy Spiritual Treasures?" "I told you, it's the Crushing Immortal Hammer. Naturally, all Magic Artifacts in the Fairy World fall under its purview." Lin Bai sized up White Maple, still unable to see anything feminine about him. The image of the genderless Body of the War God flashed through his mind. He unconsciously glanced towards White Maple's... sensitive area, and said, "General White, since you can't escape anyway, why don't we have a proper talk?" "You're not worthy!" White Maple once again smiled involuntarily. Suddenly, his smile froze. "Who exactly are you, and how do you know my surname is White?" "Not only do I know your surname is White, I also know your name is White Maple." Lin Bai suddenly Flashed and, taking advantage of White Maple's distraction, struck him in the chest with another palm. A large mouthful of blood sprayed from White Maple's mouth. He snapped his head up, his eyes red. "Despicable! A sneak attack!" "Weren't you also sneak-attacking me with your Silver Spear just now?" Lin Bai looked at White Maple, who was still able to jump about, and struck out with another palm. I've decided to seal White Maple. For a random guy to be this strong... it gives me a profound sense of frustration. It's that feeling of finally becoming number one in the world, only to change environments and find you can't even beat a common soldier. It's really bullshit... Ever since I transmigrated, I haven't had a single day to properly enjoy throwing my weight around! His palm strike missed. White Maple had Flashed away again. Thus, Lin Bai grew even more dejected. After pondering the Skills he possessed, he shouted once more, calling White Maple back. This time, Lin Bai didn't hit him. Instead, he pressed one palm on White Maple's head, and with the other hand, took out his ever-present kitchen knife. He scraped it against White Maple a few times, patted him here and there, and began to shave him... First his eyebrows, then his hair. Lin Bai worked with methodical slowness. Absolute Suppression: You possess absolute control over food ingredients. That's right. White Maple was slippery and elusive. I couldn't be bothered to wrangle with him any longer. I steeled my heart and decided to treat him as an ingredient to be processed... Fortunately, the System is reliable. When it says Absolute Suppression, it means Absolute Suppression. "..." Ye Song and the others were collectively astounded. At this point, more people began to ascend from below. Before they could even experience the Spiritual Energy of the Fairy World, they were all stunned by the scene before their eyes. What's going on? When did Alliance Hierarch Lin become a barber? And who's that guy getting shaved? Unable to teleport despite repeatedly channeling his Spiritual Power, and feeling the chilling sensation of the kitchen knife scraping against his skin, White Maple was genuinely terrified this time. "You... what are you going to do?" "I told you before, I want to talk." Lin Bai didn't undo the Red String. The kitchen knife deftly bypassed the now spiritless armor on White Maple's body. In a short while, a completely smooth, 'plucked white pig' was revealed. After stripping off the armor, Lin Bai's first glance went to White Maple's crucial area. As expected. Just like my newly acquired Body of the War God, this fellow has no gender distinction. Seeing Lin Bai stripping someone's armor, Xu Longyun and the others made sounds of disgust, averting their gaze in shame and anger, not daring to look. But Tuohai and the others stared without any such qualms. When they saw White Maple's body, everyone was stunned. Nan Rong asked in astonishment, "Isn't the Fairy World supposed to be formed by the ascended seniors from our sects? What's the deal with this person who's neither male nor female?" Someone had already gone over and stripped the armor from the Heavenly Soldiers immobilized by Qing Yun. Sure enough, all of them were like White Maple: bare and genderless.
