My All-Heavens Chat Group

"Lin Dong!"

"So, it's Young Master Lin!"

Ling Qingzhu's voice was light and melodious, like a gently flowing stream, as she softly asked, "May I know what relationship Young Master Lin has with Lin Langtian?"

"Enemies!"

Lin Dong didn't hide anything. Ling Qingzhu had no connection to Lin Langtian, and besides, he wasn't afraid of Lin Langtian finding out.

He was now half a step into the Form Creation Realm, and even though he was still somewhat lacking compared to Lin Langtian, he was not afraid of him.

"Your righteous assistance will be forever etched in my heart, Young Master Lin. Should you ever need it, I, Qing Zhu, am willing to help with all my strength!"

A prodigy of the Lin Clan from the Great Yan Dynasty was nothing in her eyes. Befriending Lin Dong was worth it, even if it meant destroying the Lin family.

Although Lin Dong himself seemed insignificant, he was very likely connected to that great Immortal God.

"Thank you, Miss Qing Zhu."

Lin Dong smiled faintly and said confidently, "Lin Langtian is not to be feared, so there's no need to trouble you, Miss Qing Zhu!"

"However, I have a heaven-defying opportunity here that could allow you, Miss Qing Zhu, to ascend to the heavens in a single step and become a Divine Spirit surpassing the Symbol Ancestor. I just wonder if Miss Qing Zhu can seize it!"

"Ascend to the heavens in a single step and become a Divine Spirit surpassing the Symbol Ancestor?"

Ling Qingzhu's breathing grew slightly ragged, her ample chest heaving. The more one knew about the Symbol Ancestor, the more one understood his strength and terrifying power.

In her heart, the Symbol Ancestor was like a god.

And now she had the chance to surpass him...

The thought alone was thrilling.

But she knew there was no such thing as a free lunch. Lin Dong couldn't possibly be offering such a heaven-defying opportunity to her without a reason.

There had to be a trick.

"May I ask what Young Master Lin requires of me?"

Ling Qingzhu was on guard. Does Lin Dong have designs on me?

"Actually, not much is required from you, Miss Qing Zhu."

Hearing this, Ling Qingzhu's suspicion deepened. She clearly didn't believe him.

Lin Dong continued, "Miss Qing Zhu, you must have felt the greatness and terrifying power of my god just now. The great opportunity I spoke of is for you to become a sacrifice!"

Ling Qingzhu's expression changed slightly, and a hint of coldness flickered in her eyes.

Lin Dong was not surprised by her reaction and, as if he hadn't seen it, explained further, "I have witnessed the sacrifices made by Divine Envoys from other worlds. The Sacred Girls offered as sacrifices all experienced a surge in their Cultivation Level and metamorphosed into Divine Spirits under the power of my god, then ascended to God's kingdom to serve my god."

"You've witnessed the sacrifices of Divine Envoys from other worlds?"

Ling Qingzhu's eyes filled with astonishment. While she knew other worlds existed beyond her own, traveling to them was not easy; it was fraught with immense difficulties.

"Naturally. My god's methods are beyond our imagination."

Lin Dong didn't reveal the existence of the chat group and said, "I know you might be worried that I'm deceiving you, Miss Qing Zhu, but I can swear in the name of my god that everything I've said is the absolute truth!"

"Given the greatness of my god, I would never dare deceive you, Miss Qing Zhu."

Ling Qingzhu found herself believing him somewhat, yet she still had doubts. "If being sacrificed allows for ascension to godhood, why did you choose me?"

"Do you think just anyone is qualified to ascend and serve my god, Miss Qing Zhu?" Lin Dong retorted.

Ling Qingzhu nodded slightly, her belief in his words growing. She asked, "By offering me as a sacrifice, you will also reap great benefits, won't you?"

"Indeed!"

Lin Dong didn't deny it; even a fool could guess that.

"One can be rewarded for spreading the teachings and making sacrifices for my god. With enough merit, becoming an Immortal or a Divine Spirit is not an issue."

"Your qualification to be a sacrifice for my god, Miss Qing Zhu, is not just because of your beauty and status, but also because you possess great destiny. That is why I sought you out!"

This statement once again dispelled much of Ling Qingzhu's doubt. No wonder Lin Dong had sought her out—it was because of this.

"Can I return after I ascend to God's kingdom?" Ling Qingzhu asked.

"I'm not sure about that myself. I have only witnessed sacrificed Sacred Girls become Divine Spirits and then descend to other worlds to serve my god."

Lin Dong spoke truthfully. Although he was bluffing, he wasn't actually lying.

Ling Qingzhu was silent for a moment. Now I somewhat understand.

The price for ascending to the heavens in a single step and becoming a Divine Spirit surpassing the Symbol Ancestor was essentially to pledge allegiance to the God of Hongmeng.

This was reasonable. She could understand it.

No matter how great the God of Hongmeng was, he would not help her become a god for no reason. The idea of pledging loyalty did not repel her.

After all, this was a great Divine Spirit who could tread upon Chaos, wear the starry river as a garment, and create countless universes with each breath.

Who knew how many powerful beings longed to be at his beck and call but could not?

To be able to serve the God of Hongmeng would be her honor.

Yet... she found it hard to decide at that moment.

"I want to ask my Master. May I tell my Master about the God of Hongmeng?"

Ling Qingzhu raised her head, somewhat expectant, somewhat nervous. The person she was closest to in this world was her Master.

"There's no problem. Our God is great and benevolent. The 'Meditation Method' I shared just now is meant for all believers. It's not just for your Master; there's no issue at all even if it's passed on to others!"

"I see!"

Ling Qingzhu nodded slightly, then, as if a thought struck her, said, "If my Master is willing, can she be offered as a sacrifice?"

"Your Master?"

Lin Dong's heart stirred. Is this a buy-one-get-one-free deal? Can such good fortune be true?

However, he had said before that not everyone was qualified to be offered as a sacrifice. If they lacked great destiny, the sacrifice might fail. And if the sacrifice failed, they would die.

But as Ling Qingzhu's Master, a woman of destiny herself, and the Palace Lord of the supreme sect, the Nine Heavens Clear Palace, she should count as a woman blessed with great destiny. Besides, he had seen from the sacrifices made by others in the chat group that teacher-disciple or sister pairs seemed to receive a special blessing.

"To offer a sacrifice to the Upper God, two conditions must be met: one is to possess great destiny, and the other is to be of pure body."

Lin Dong looked at Ling Qingzhu. "The former, your Master should have no problem. The latter..."

"My Master has always been virtuous and is also of pure body," Ling Qingzhu said, her voice tinged with a hint of shyness.

This was a private matter, especially concerning her Master. Ordinarily, she would never discuss it with another man.

"Then there's no problem."

Lin Dong nodded, a sense of anticipation rising within him.

The Nine Heavens Clear Palace was a supreme sect, with many dynasties and powers under its jurisdiction. Getting the Nine Heavens Clear Palace on his side would mean getting these dynasties on his side as well.

"I shall return to my sect now!"

Ling Qingzhu, having received her answers, could hardly wait to share the news she had received today with her Master, Huang Yueqing.

As for being offered as a sacrifice, although she was somewhat moved, she still wanted to hear her Master's opinion.

"Okay."

Lin Dong nodded readily.

He wasn't worried that Ling Qingzhu wouldn't return. Whether it was Ling Qingzhu or the Nine Heavens Clear Palace, now that they knew of the majestic God of Hongmeng's existence, they would surely seek him out again, regardless of whether Ling Qingzhu was willing to be sacrificed.

The two of them left Mu Mansion together. Meanwhile, Lin Langtian and the others were still trapped within the illusion in Mu Mansion. Lin Dong hadn't dealt with Lin Langtian yet.

His current strength was still a bit lacking.

Once some time had passed, he would use absolute power to make Lin Langtian understand what true despair felt like.

After parting with Ling Qingzhu, Lin Dong went to the Ten Thousand Gold Chamber of Commerce.

The reason he didn't accompany Ling Qingzhu to the Nine Heavens Clear Palace was precisely that he wanted to deceive a few more women blessed with great destiny.

「Jade Dynasty's World.」

While Lin Dong was busy luring women blessed with great destiny and spreading the teachings and organizing sacrifices for the God of Hongmeng, Lin Jingyu, who had joined the group with him, was also not idle.

After reading the files sent by Dog Son, Lin Jingyu knew that his Master, Daoist Cang Song, was the indirect culprit behind the deaths of the several hundred villagers from Caomiao Village.

Therefore, he didn't seek out Cang Song. Instead, he quietly went to Tongtian Peak to request an audience with the Sect Leader of Qingyun Gate, Immortal Daoxuan.

He was currently just a disciple of Dragon Head Peak, lacking both strength and influence. If he wanted to spread the teachings and offer sacrifices, he would need the support of Immortal Daoxuan.

As long as he could get Immortal Daoxuan on board, the rest would be easy.

"Junior Brother, follow me!"

Xiao Yicai gestured invitingly and then led Lin Jingyu into the grand hall, saying respectfully, "Master, Lin Jingyu is here!"

"Mm."

Atop the grand hall, Daoxuan nodded slightly. He was dressed in a dark green Daoist robe, with an elegant and transcendent bearing, his eyes gentle yet bright as he scrutinized Lin Jingyu.

"Lin Jingyu, you said you had important news concerning the prosperity and decline of Qingyun. You may speak now."

Daoxuan didn't really believe Lin Jingyu had any truly significant news about Qingyun's fate. But since Lin Jingyu had sought a secret audience, he must have something important to discuss. Daoxuan was curious about what Lin Jingyu wanted to say.

His prior impression of Lin Jingyu was quite good: talented, intelligent, with a promising future.

Lin Jingyu stepped forward. Despite his confidence, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous facing the Sect Leader of Qingyun Gate, the most prestigious sect of the righteous path.

"Reporting to the Sect Leader," he took a deep breath and cupped his hands, saying, "This disciple... has encountered a true Immortal, one who is genuinely ageless and undying!"
