Chapter 128: The Might of the Immortal Realm's Origin
Page (1/3)
“Senior Brother, what should we do now?” It was still the fair-faced man from earlier who spoke.
He looked extremely anxious, panic flickering across his face.
The situation was dire. Only a handful of cultivators remained alive, while the spirit beasts had suffered virtually no casualties.
“First, we need to find a way out. If we stay here, we can only wait for death,” the man addressed as Senior Brother said through clenched teeth.
He was already gravely wounded and clearly nearing the end of his strength.
His body was covered in claw marks.
“Senior Brother, you have to hold on. We’ll go that way—the spirit beasts are fewer over there. We can definitely make it out.”
There was no time to worry about anyone else. After saying this, the man hoisted his Senior Brother onto his back and charged toward the nearby exit.
……
By then, Lin Yanghao had already left the Thousand Saints Marsh with Bone Stone and arrived atop an unknown mountain.
“I’ll heal your injuries first.”
As he spoke, Lin Yanghao took out a large heap of spirit herbs, most of whose names he did not even know.
His true purpose, of course, was to use the Origin of the Immortal Realm to heal Bone Stone. But how could he possibly reveal such a thing to anyone?
He was merely putting on an act so that Bone Stone would believe the spirit herbs were responsible for everything.
Judging from Bone Stone’s condition, he likely would not last much longer, so Lin Yanghao had to treat him as quickly as possible.
How the spirit herbs were handled was unimportant. As long as he could mix the Origin of the Immortal Realm into them without anyone noticing, that would be enough.
Thus, Lin Yanghao casually mashed the many spirit herbs into a single lump, then drew a strand of the Origin of the Immortal Realm from within the Chaos Ring and added it to the mixture.
“Eat this.”
“Can this really be eaten?”
Bone Stone’s expression stiffened when he saw it. Though he was a zombie, even he felt nauseated at the sight of the lump in Lin Yanghao’s hand.
It was practically an assault on the eyes.
Could it be poisonous? Bone Stone could not summon the courage to swallow it.
What if he did not die from his serious injuries, only to be killed by this thing instead?
“Don’t worry. This is my Lin family’s secret formula. It cures every illness. I guarantee that after eating one, you’ll want another.”
Lin Yanghao gave an awkward laugh. He thought that perhaps he had made the lump look too crude. Next time, he could make it a little more presentable.
Then again, what did appearances matter? A cat that caught mice was still a good cat.
Something pretty could not fill one’s stomach. As the saying went, good medicine was often ugly but effective.

“Then let me die. Whether I eat it or not, I’m probably going to die anyway. But if I eat it, there might at least be a glimmer of hope.”
With that, Bone Stone shoved the lump of spirit herbs in Lin Yanghao’s hand into his mouth in one bite.
The lump melted the moment it entered his mouth. A powerful vitality instantly spread throughout his entire body, filling Bone Stone with incomparable comfort.
He had not experienced such bliss in several thousand years. Even when he had broken through back then, it had barely felt this good.
Could this truly heal his injuries? How could something so miraculous exist in the world? The world was indeed full of wonders.
Naturally, Bone Stone did not notice the presence of the Origin of the Immortal Realm. He had never considered any other possibility and attributed all the credit to Lin Yanghao’s lump of spirit herbs.
……
“Hm? The aura of the Origin of the Immortal Realm has appeared again!”
In the Immortal Realm, the same silver-haired man as before had sensed the Origin of the Immortal Realm once more. How could he not be excited?
The last time it had appeared, it had vanished too quickly. Although he had searched throughout the Immortal Realm for a long time, he had found nothing.
He had never expected the Origin of the Immortal Realm to be in the Spirit Realm. No wonder he had been unable to find it in the Immortal Realm.
Because his strength had already reached the Ultimate Realm, he was bound by the laws of Heaven and Earth and could not travel to the Spirit Realm. He could only send others in his place.
“Someone come.”
“Master, what are your orders?”
Two figures instantly appeared beside the silver-haired man.
“Go to the Spirit Realm at once and search for the Origin of the Immortal Realm. You must obtain it before anyone else!”
“Yes, Master.”
With that, they withdrew.
At the same time, similar scenes were unfolding in several other places.
Lin Yanghao, of course, knew nothing about what was happening. Danger was quietly drawing nearer.
……
“Hahaha! Thank you, young man. If it weren’t for you, this old life of mine would have ended here today.”
Bone Stone’s excitement was impossible to conceal.
After consuming the lump of spirit herbs Lin Yanghao had given him, not only had all his injuries completely healed, but his cultivation had also successfully stabilized at the Drought Demon Realm.
Everything he had now was thanks to the young man before him.
“There’s no need to be so polite. It was only right. If not for me, you wouldn’t have ended up in that state in the first place.”
“Lin Yanghao, you can no longer extract the Origin of the Immortal Realm from the Chaos Ring,” Ling’er said, feeling deeply that Lin Yanghao was being treated unfairly.
“What? Why not?”
Lin Yanghao nearly stumbled backward. He widened his eyes in disbelief.

The Origin of the Immortal Realm within his Chaos Ring was practically inexhaustible. Why was Ling’er now saying that he could no longer extract any more? What was the reason?
Lin Yanghao felt as though his mind had stopped working.
“What did you think it was, cabbages? Did you think you could use as much as you wanted?”
“What? Then what exactly is going on?”
“Just like the number of times you can enter the Chaos Ring, extracting the Origin of the Immortal Realm is also subject to a limit. You can only extract it once each time you advance by an entire major cultivation realm.”
Ling’er explained it to Lin Yanghao.
Lin Yanghao frowned after hearing this. He had not expected such a restriction.
He had originally been making a very satisfactory plan. Now it seemed that plan was about to fall through.
Whenever he was injured, he could simply use the Origin of the Immortal Realm to heal himself. That would practically be a cheat.
If he could truly do that, he would be an indestructible cockroach in human form.
Reality, however, was often cruel and merciless.
Then again, it made sense. If he really could do that, how would anyone else be able to fight him?
“It seems that from now on, I can’t waste any more opportunities to use the Origin of the Immortal Realm. It will be a lifesaving weapon at critical moments,” Lin Yanghao thought to himself.
By his calculations, he had only seven opportunities left before ascending to the Immortal Realm. Unless absolutely necessary, he could not afford to waste another one.
Still, Lin Yanghao did not regret using the Origin of the Immortal Realm to save Old Master Lin and Bone Stone. If he had another chance, he would make the same choice.
“Hmph. I’ve recovered completely. Now it’s time to settle accounts with them. Do they truly think I’m someone they can bully?”
Bone Stone spoke coldly, killing intent already surging from him.
Even Lin Yanghao found the sight frightening.
“Whatever you do, don’t act rashly. Their strength is not to be underestimated. It will be very difficult for you to contend with them alone.”
Lin Yanghao was filled with helplessness.
He really wanted to tell Bone Stone, “Do you know what you look like right now? You look like an old madman.”
At best, your strength is only at the Tribulation Transcendence stage. They belong to the three great sects of the cultivation world, each with countless experts. How can you possibly fight them alone? You’re practically volunteering to be killed!
“I know all that, of course. You needn’t worry. I have a brilliant plan.”
Bone Stone spoke mysteriously.
