Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 92: Dao Divine Body

Looking at the confusion on all the elders’ faces, Lin Ling’s expression was indifferent: "The situation in the Qingyang Realm is not as simple as it appears on the surface. You all know very well the reason for the stability over the past thirty years."

Upon hearing this.

The others were all taken aback.

Xiao Li seemed to have thought of something, and his face couldn’t help but change in surprise: "The Sect Master’s meaning... could it be referring to the Immortal Extinction Realm?"

Immortal Extinction Realm!

These three words caused the elders present to change their expressions dramatically.

After all, those who could be elders of the Upper Qing Sect were all fourth-level Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses. Such powerful cultivators had not short cultivation periods, and they also participated in the war thirty years ago.

Precisely because of this.

They understood the true implications of the words "Immortal Extinction Realm."

It represented the entire Otherworld.

No one knows how vast the Immortal Extinction Realm is, but the appearance of sixth-level powerhouses and quite a few fifth-level powerhouses during the war thirty years ago is enough to illustrate the unfathomable depth of the Immortal Extinction Realm.

That war.

Could be said to be the most tragic battle for humanity since the appearance of the Divine Kingdom chat group, and also the one with the greatest losses.

Even after experiencing the third Beast Tide, the losses couldn’t compare to that war.

Indeed.

In the Northern Continent’s battle, although the number of fallen may not compare to the third Beast Tide, the number of fallen powerhouses is unmatched.

Even alone, many fourth-level cultivators were lost.

No need to mention those below the fourth level.

Lin Ling said: "Thirty years ago, the Otherworld Gate appeared, and the Immortal Extinction Realm launched an attack on us, intending to seize the entire Qingyang Realm.

Although this war ended with the intervention of the Divine Emperor, causing the Immortal Extinction Realm to suffer a great defeat and lose many powerhouses as they fled hastily.

But the Otherworld Gate has never disappeared, which means the two worlds are destined for another battle in the future.

This battle will either result in the defeat of the Immortal Extinction Realm or the capture of the Qingyang Realm by the Immortal Extinction Realm. There will be no third possibility."

At this point.

Lin Ling paused slightly, and his expression gradually turned serious.

"The peace of the past thirty years has made many people forget the threat of the Otherworld, but in fact, as long as the Otherworld Gate does not disappear, the threat always exists, it just hasn’t reached the day of eruption yet.

Now, with the Cyan Yang Divine Court intending to hold the Divine Kingdom’s grand contest, it indicates that the situation is about to change. Either the Immortal Extinction Realm is about to launch a new offensive, or the counterattack is about to begin..."

The other elders, upon hearing this, fell into silence.

They could become sect elders, and having cultivated to the fourth level, they were naturally not fools. They understood how likely Lin Ling’s words were.

For the past thirty years, the Divine Emperor has remained inactive, and now, with the sudden convening of the Divine Kingdom’s grand contest and extremely generous rewards, it is clearly a way to indirectly enhance the overall power of the Cyan Yang Divine Court.

The purpose of enhancing the power is self-evident.

Xiao Li sighed: "If this war breaks out, who knows how many more people will die!"

"In war, no one remains unscathed. The same holds true for wars between countries, and the wars between two worlds are destined to be even more tragic.

We have no retreat, either defeat the Immortal Extinction Realm or be enslaved by them!"

Lin Ling shook his head, his expression returning to indifference.

He wasn’t naïve enough to think that after the Immortal Extinction Realm invades the Qingyang Realm, they would treat the people of Qingyang with any kindness.

Enslavement.

This would already be the best outcome.

If the Immortal Extinction Realm goes insane, they might even massacre the entire Qingyang Realm.

Subsequently.

Lin Ling looked at the people present and said in a deep voice: "The Divine Kingdom’s grand contest a year from now is an opportunity. If you can seize it, you might break through to the fifth level all at once.

The most powerful in the current Cyan Yang Divine Court is Gu Fang, who has been at the fourth-level upper grade for years, with unfathomable combat power.

So from today on, I have decided to go into seclusion for cultivation. Unless it’s a matter concerning the life and death of the sect, do not disturb me!"

Fifteen years ago, Gu Fang reached the fourth-level upper grade, and a year ago, a fourth-level perfect Fierce Beast caused chaos in the deep sea, but was slain by him.

That battle also shocked the Divine Court, and many powerhouses witnessed it.

If anyone in the entire Cyan Yang Divine Court Lin Ling feared the most, it would undoubtedly be Gu Fang.

Upon hearing this.

An elder frowned slightly: "Gu Fang has been at the fourth-level upper grade for fifteen years, and it is rumored he possesses the Overlord Divine Body. He might have already advanced to the fourth-level perfect.

If the Sect Master wants to defeat Gu Fang, I’m afraid it won’t be that easy."

As his words fell, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from Lin Ling, filling the entire sect hall, making all the elders feel immense pressure on their shoulders.

"Fourth-level upper grade, just that... I reached this realm five years ago!"

Lin Ling smiled confidently. This was the main reason he was confident in contending with Gu Fang.

Although the other broke through ten years earlier, the cultivation of the fourth level isn’t something that breaking through a few years earlier can truly lead. This realm requires enlightenment.

If one relies solely on time to hone, it may take decades to break a small grade.

Furthermore.

Lin Ling didn’t say out loud.

Although Gu Fang possesses the Overlord Divine Body, Lin Ling bears the Dao Divine Body.

Dao Divine Body.

Unparalleled insight.

Those with the Dao Divine Body are more prone to enlightenment, allowing them to break through their original realm.

This is why, despite Gu Fang’s previous lead over everyone, and even obtaining first place with rich rewards during the Otherworld invasion thirty years ago, Lin Ling could catch up within ten years to also reach the fourth-level upper grade.

With the Dao Divine Body, Lin Ling believes his cultivation speed can surpass all others in the world.

At least for now, Lin Ling hasn’t found anyone who can cultivate faster than he does.

Therefore.

Lin Ling is confident that he can advance to the fourth-level perfect within a year.

If he can reach the fourth-level perfect, he’s confident he won’t be any weaker than Gu Fang, and becoming first on the fourth-level Divine List might not be out of reach.

However, the fact that he possesses the Dao Divine Body is a secret Lin Ling will not easily disclose.

Some people act ostentatiously, making the fact that they possess a Divine Body widely known, but some act low-key, keeping their Divine Body a secret even when possessed.

Among the two, Lin Ling belongs to the latter.

On the other side.

The other elders, although unaware of Lin Ling’s secret, were shocked to learn that he had reached the fourth-level upper grade as well, and their faces showed joy.

"Currently, in the entire Cyan Yang Divine Court, the only one known to have reached the fourth-level upper grade is Gu Fang, but to think that the Sect Master has surpassed this for years.

It seems that in the Divine Kingdom’s grand contest a year from now, our Upper Qing Sect will definitely make an impressive mark and become the number one sect in the world!"

Throughout all the sects in the world, there’s not a single sect with a fourth-level upper grade powerhouse to guard.

Of course.

No matter the situation, nothing is absolute. Perhaps some sects act low-key as well.

But no matter what, Lin Ling revealing his fourth-level upper-grade cultivation is undoubtedly a morale booster for all the elders, filling them with confidence for the Divine Kingdom’s grand contest a year from now.
