第三千六百零九章 小蝶

Thinking through this, even Lin Xuan's composure couldn't help but show a hint of satisfaction on his face. It was not an exaggeration to say he felt invigorated.

After much hardship, he had finally achieved what he desired—his wife had become the mother. From now on, even if the Three Realms were treacherous, he could freely navigate them as he pleased.

Of course, he wasn't completely without reservations. After all, even a true immortal could fall.

But at least, there weren't many threats to his existence anymore. As long as he didn’t suffer an excessively unlucky fate, he should be safe from falling.

Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead, showing a look of contentment on his face.

But soon, the smile faded.

While his achievements were significant, it was still too early to say he had fulfilled his lifelong aspirations and goals. He wasn't just any cultivator; there were too many secrets intertwined with his journey.

Aside from the Blue Star Sea, Mo'er's previous life was that of an Arhat. As the ruler of the Netherworld, why would she massacre the Spirit Realm so mercilessly?

And what was the true purpose behind the arrival of a true immortal? What was the truth of their battle at the Polar Yuan Guang Hall?

Mo'er had her own unspoken sorrows.

Then there were the域外天魔...

What urgent desires and entanglements did Qin Yan have with him?

All these secrets awaited his revelation. The path ahead was long, but he now had enough strength to pursue them.

The only thing that troubled Lin Xuan was that he could match a top-tier powerhouse in battle, but it was just an estimate. Without direct confrontation, some things were hard to say.

For instance, even the likes of Daoist Nai Long and Fairy Hundred Flowers possessed domains. Cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage could command heaven and earth's laws. Domain masters could create their own laws. He had his own domain, but he still felt a bit apprehensive facing such beings despite having several先天 treasures.

Although the Five-Phoenix Seal had successfully advanced, it shattered after transforming into the Hundred Birds Seal. Although it was slowly being repaired, it would take too long to use against an opponent in the short term.

Lin Xuan sighed.

Suddenly, he felt his previous optimism might have been a bit overestimating. Even against the Treasure Snake Ice Soul, he still had more chances of losing, but as long as it wasn't due to extremely bad luck, escaping should be fine.

Enough talk; contentment is what matters.

Regardless, this time's收获 far exceeded expectations. To truly match a domain master was no easy feat.

These top-tier powerhouses were all beings that lived for millions of years. Even if they had countless opportunities, their cultivation base still outstripped his in many ways.

If two元婴 could advance to the Tribulation Transcending后期 stage, he might have some fighting chance, but it wasn't so simple.

Although晋级妖丹 made cultivating an元婴 easier by removing the bottleneck and avoiding heavenly tribulations, accumulating enough法力 was a long process. At their level, pills had little effect.

Even after Lin Xuan's Blue Star Sea purification, the difference remained significant.

Of course, there were exceptions, such as the treasures of the Immortal Mansion still having great utility.

But these treasures were hard to come by. The Three Realms might be vast, but resources and environments couldn't compare to those in the Immortal Realm. The odds of cultivating a treasure from the Immortal Mansion were abysmally low—such opportunities were rare indeed.

To rely on arduous cultivation for two元婴 to advance would take at least hundreds of thousands of years.

Forget it, let's not dwell on this headache-inducing problem. When the time comes, everything will be clear.

Contentment is what matters. After spending three thousand years advancing to the Tribulation Transcending后期 stage, he was the first and last in history, even surpassing his former Arhat self—there was no need for more.

"How so? Daoist friend, what are you thinking about?"

The melodious voice entered his ears as Lin Xuan turned around. Before him stood a beautiful face—none other than the Moth of Illusions. Her expression was full of curiosity.

"Nothing." Lin Xuan shook his head. "By the way, I haven't asked your name."

"Haha, there's no need for formalities; just call me Xiao Die from now on."

"A nice name, Xiao Die. Please look after me in the future."

"You're too polite. Regardless, you are my spirit beast, so we can treat each other as equals and you shouldn't be so formal."

With their soul vows signed, they were now one荣俱荣,一损俱损, making their relationship harmonious.

"By the way, Lady Mo'er's abilities aren't ordinary; she must have a significant background."

The conversation shifted to Mo'er. Lin Xuan's abilities had left an impression on her, but this young lady was no pushover either. He had struggled greatly during his ambush and she was even lower in cultivation level—something that would be impossible for an ordinary cultivator.

"Your Highness Fairy has excellent eyesight; Mo'er is indeed of great importance. She is the reincarnation of the Arhat King."

Lin Xuan's calm voice echoed, making this secret less significant given their soul vows.

"What?!"

Moth of Illusions was shocked, almost disbelieving her ears: "Daoist friend, are you joking? The Arhat..."

She had lived for millions of years and heard many tales about the Arhat King. This young lady... an Arhat?

What a joke!

"Brother Lin is quite humorous."

"Haha, I have no intention of deceiving your Highness Fairy; over time, you will understand."

Lin Xuan didn't elaborate further. As the saying goes, distance reveals true strength and time shows character—there was no need for excessive explanation.

Seeing his expression, she couldn't help but be a bit doubtful despite her surprise.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore; we should leave here first."

"Brother Lin is in no rush. I still need to retrieve an item of treasure."

"What?!"

Lin Xuan was surprised.

"Now isn't the time to explain; when we reach our destination, Brother Lin will understand."

Xiao Die smiled and started teasing him with a hint of mystery.

Lin Xuan and Mo'er exchanged glances, slightly surprised but not worried about any harm. They followed her in silence as she led them through the valley.

With Xiao Die leading the way, they navigated without any hindrance. After a day or two, they arrived at a valley.

"Here..."

Lin Xuan looked around, his face showing great surprise.
