Chapter 48: Xiao Bai Is Dead
The cultivation realms of the Lingxuan Continent from the lowest were the Qi Refinement, the Dao Entry, the Dao Attainment, the Sage, the Immortal, the Eternal Life…
The Qi Refinement was the first step for the mortals to breakthrough their physique.
In the Dao Entry, they would be able to condense the Dharma forms and master them.
When they enter the Dao Attainment Realm, they would gradually manifest the power of the Dharma forms, evolving them into the force of the law.
And, at the Sage Realm, they could break space and master the power of space laws.
But the most peculiar was the Immortal Realm.
The Immortal Realm was known to be the strongest. They would be able to fuse both heaven and earth and immerse themselves with heaven and earth.
In this way, not only would the Immortals sense all the laws of heaven and earth, it would allow them to resist the power of all kinds of laws below the Immortal realm.
From the Sage to the Immortal, the cultivation path must be taken to sense heaven and earth and thus fuse heaven and earth.
….
At this moment, watching Lin Yan's actions, a thought immediately popped up in the minds of these immortals, "He is sensing heaven and earth and wants to achieve Divine Fusion."
If Lin Yan succeeded, it would allow him to make a rapid breakthrough. He would practically skip over the Dao Entry, the Dao Attainment, and even the Sage Realms and instantly become immortal.
"It's impossible. Even for the Saints, it's difficult to fuse heaven and earth because their power wouldn't be strong enough to assimilate heaven and earth and become a part of this world." An immortal whispered.
Indeed, after an immortal's divine fusion with heaven and earth, they would gain a status equal to that of the entire world.
Therefore, the world's will would undoubtedly be repulsive to this kind of divine fusion of heaven and earth.
Even if the Sage realm powerhouse wanted to fuse heaven and earth, they would be eroded and attacked by heaven and earth's fury.
With one careless move, the will of heaven and earth would assimilate the world, and it would be their fall. The world's will would also consume their years of cultivation.
In the end, almost ninety percent of the Saints in the Lingxuan Continent had all died trying to fuse heaven and earth, and only a few lucky ones could break through to become immortals.
The current Lin Yan was an innate cultivator who hadn't even entered the Dao Entry Realm.
If he truly wanted to fuse heaven and earth, then what was left for him was only a dead end.
…

Lin Yan seemed to have wholly immersed himself in this sense of cultivation.
But just at the moment, he was about to be assimilated entirely by heaven and earth, a soft voice woke him up.
"Big Stone."
Lin Yan, who woke up abruptly, looked in the direction where the voice came from with a somewhat bewildered expression.
Only to see a young girl with a smile on the corner of her mouth and scenic eyebrows standing not far away, looking at him with a smile.
"Xiao Bai." A joyful look suddenly appeared on Lin Yan's face.
…
(Outside the Linglong Treasure Mirror)
The crowd looked at Xiao Bai's sudden appearance, interrupting Lin Yan's cultivation.
This made them heave a sigh in their hearts. However, their eyes turned gloomy immediately.
At a glance, they could see that Xiao Bai, which appeared now, was just a soul fragment.
Only after death would one become a soul fragment.
That was to say.
At this moment, Xiao Bai had …died.
…
(Inside the Linglong Treasure Mirror)
Lin Yan also immediately perceived the abnormality of Xiao Bai, and the smile on his face disappeared.
Lin Yan came to Xiao Bai in a few steps, and suppressing his emotion inside, he spoke, "What happened? Who did this to you?"
Xiao Bai didn't answer Lin Yan.
Instead, her face was a bit gloomy, and she replied, "Big Stone, I still haven't succeeded in transforming."
"Don't say anything; I'll immediately take you back to the desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. If you fuse with the phoenix flame, you can be reborn into a Phoenix."
Lin Yan reached out his hand and pulled Xiao Bai towards him.
The Phoenix Flame was the only way to save Xiao Bai now.
However, Xiao Bai slowly shook her head, "It's useless. Fusing the phoenix flame requires a physical body. My body is already gone. Even if I return to the Ancient Forbidden Land, there is no way I can absorb the phoenix flame."
Hearing her words, Lin Yan was suddenly a little disheartened.
Xiao Bai was right.
At this moment, she was only a soul fragment. Even if there was a phoenix flame, she couldn't absorb it.
Moreover, it would take several years to rush from here to the desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.
The current Xiao Bai couldn't last that long.
"Who the hell did this to you?" Lin Yan's eyes leaked endless anger.
…
(Outside the Linglong Treasure Mirror)
"This is why he began slaughtering the demon race, right?" Someone let out a soft sigh.
Even those Demon Saints didn't say much at this moment because it was clear to everyone that Xiao Bai went to the Seven Great Demon Empires.
And now, she had become a soul fragment.
This matter was straightforward, and surely it was connected with the Seven Great Demon Empires.
Lin Yan later went to seek revenge, which also seemed reasonable.
At this moment, no one noticed that the Demon Queen, who was sitting on the flame throne, suddenly felt a shiver in her heart as she looked at the picture in the Linglong Treasure Mirror.
Her face also turned a little pale, and a vague shadow suddenly appeared in the depths of her mind, causing her thinking to become confused.
…
Xiao Bai didn't say why she became like this because she worried Lin Yan would take revenge for her.
She had already seen with her own eyes how powerful the Seven Great Demon Empires were, and it was simply not an existence that one could fight against.
She had already become this way, so she didn't want Lin Yan to follow in her footsteps.
"Big Stone, you are the first person I have ever met. I was afraid that you would underestimate me, so that's why I lied to you in the first place, saying that I had seen and met several people…."
Smilingly, she looked at Lin Yan.
Xiao Bai's voice, however, became weaker and weaker.
This was a sign that her soul fragment was about to dissipate.
When the soul fragment dissipated, there would be no more Xiao Bai.
"Don't say anything. I'll take you to… "Lin Yan's voice stopped abruptly.
At this moment, he didn't know where to take Xiao Bai to save her.
Xiao Bai smiled and shook her head, "Big Stone, I'm going to die, but I'm not afraid of death. I feel that I have not been able to transform. You have not seen me transform. If there is another life, …can you still recognize me?"
"Yes, definitely." Lin Yan looked up at Xiao Bai, and his expression turned gentle.
At this moment, it was also evident that could no longer stop Xiao Bai from leaving.
Staying with Xiao Bai and letting her end the last bit of obsession in her heart was the only thing he could do now.
"Then let's pinky promise."
Lin Yan's reply made Xiao Bai smile happily: "If I can have another life, I will also not forget you, and I'll look for you to grill a fish for me."
"Good." Lin Yan reached out and hooked his fingers with Xiao Bai's.
Xiao Bai's body, however, suddenly darkened at this moment.
"Big Stone, goodbye."
Accompanied by a low voice, Xiao Bai's body gradually faded and finally disappeared.
A black round bead from the place where she disappeared snapped down.
It was the Soul Soothing Pearl.
It seemed like Xiao Bai was relying on this to be able to walk back in her soul body.
Lin Yan stood in place, perplexed.
It made him, who had always been calm and collected, disoriented.
"Xiao Bai is dead?"
"No, that's an illusion. It's fake."
"Give it up. Xiao Bai is dead."
…
A flurry of disturbing thoughts appeared in Lin Yan's mind, making his headache split.
Until the day finally passed and gradually dawned.
Only then gradually did Lin Yan recover.
As he raised his head to look around, his eyes revealed anguish.
Xiao Bai… wasn't going to come back.
