"I will never betray you. Violators will be struck by lightning and will never be reincarnated."
"I, Zhang Shaochu, swear to the Heavenly Dao that if I betray you, I will die under the Divine Tribulation."
"I will always stand with the captain. If I betray you, I will be struck by the Divine Tribulation."
"…"
For a moment, the Third Prince, Lie Tenyu, Zhang Shaochu, and the others all swore on the Martial Dao and the Divine Tribulation that they would always stand by Lin Ye's side, even if they were doomed eternally.
Powerhouses were most afraid of inner demons and the Divine Tribulation.
Swearing on inner demons and the Divine Tribulation was enough to prove their wisdom.
They all understood that Lin Ye could take out his trump card to help them, which meant that he treated them as friends. Lin Ye had already gone to this step, what else could they say?
In this world.
The ones who accompanied them the most were not necessarily their parents and relatives.
It was their master and friends of the same level.
They were all peerless geniuses and were destined to walk a very, very long path. On the path of cultivation, they would have a long time.
The lifespan of their parents was not necessarily as long as theirs.
Lifespan was a natural chasm between powerhouses and mortals.
Mortals could live for a hundred years.
On the other hand, powerful Half-Saints and Saints could live for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Therefore, only powerful friends of the same level could support each other and go further. In a powerhouse's life, it was definitely a great blessing to have a true friend.
It was even more important than having a confidante.
Lin Ye was undoubtedly the best candidate in their hearts.
It could even be said that there was a huge gap between them and Lin Ye. To be friends with Lin Ye was to climb up the social ladder.
Lin Ye could give them a ladder and an opportunity. If they did not seize it, then they were not worthy of being called geniuses. They deserved to be left far behind by other geniuses and powerhouses of the same level.
"What do I not need you to do?"
"Because I treat you as friends and brothers."
"On the long path of cultivation, brothers will always be by my side."
Lin Ye looked at Zhang Shaochu and the others and said lightly.
In this life, if he was destined to go far, he was destined to face unimaginable pressure. The path was long and difficult. He needed someone to help him.
The person who helped him was not necessarily a peerless powerhouse or a peerless beauty.
What he needed was someone who could make him feel at ease.
"On the long road of cultivation, brothers will always accompany each other."
"On the long road of cultivation, brothers will always accompany each other."
"Take your time on the path of cultivation. Brothers will always be by your side."
Everyone said seriously.
For a moment, everyone's blood boiled, and their heroic spirit soared to the heavens.
At this moment, he felt that he had lived in vain.
Now, this was what he truly wanted.
A brother for a lifetime.
Between brothers, there was no need for a gentle breeze or a gentle rain. There was only the moment when they were on the verge of life and death, when they could see their brothers sharing their joys and sorrows, not hesitating to die a hundred deaths.
Lin Ye did not allow Zhang Shaochu and the others to return.
Instead, he pulled them all into the Ninefold Space.
He had already carved out an independent space in the Ninefold Space for Zhang Shaochu and the others to cultivate in. As for the Chaotic Divine Tree, he naturally wouldn't let them know.
At least not for the time being.
He still had to test them over a long period of time. Only through the test and the tempering of time could they receive better training.
After everything was done.
Lin Ye left the castle of the third prince and walked towards the Tower of Time.
He had a chance to cultivate on the third floor of the Tower of Time one day. Naturally, he would not waste this opportunity.
After greeting the guardian, he entered the third floor.
One day later.
Lin Ye entered the fourth floor.
This time, he entered the fourth floor and entered secluded cultivation.
The other powerhouses in Tiny Spirit City had already gone out to earn Heaven List points. Even Nangong Xiyue had left Tiny Spirit City. She naturally knew the benefits of honor points. If she wanted to obtain more honor points, she had to have Heaven List points.
Moreover, her goal was to rank first on the world Heaven List.
Only Lin Ye's team seemed to have evaporated collectively.
On the fourth floor of the Tower of Time.
Lin Ye also began his secluded cultivation.
What he cultivated was naturally still the Starry Sky Divine Formula to improve his cultivation realm, and the 3,000 Heavenly Dao to improve his divine thoughts.
He spent part of his time comprehending and cultivating the Heavenly Sword Twelve Styles, Asura Hell, and various sage level martial skills.
What he cultivated the most was the Domain of Metal and Domain of Sword.
Originally, he wanted to integrate the other eight drops of the Great Sage's blood and cultivate other domains. However, after thinking about it, he finally decided to cultivate the Domain of Metal and Domain of Sword to the peak of the first level.
Even if he could not reach the peak, he had to cultivate to the extent of using domains alone to fight.
One year passed.
Two years passed.
Three years passed.
Four years passed.
In the fifth year, Lin Ye's Domain of Metal finally reached 10000 dao, and his Domain of Sword also reached 10000 dao.
Now, even if he did not use martial skills, he could use the Domain of Metal and Domain of Sword to fight alone.
This was the most terrifying killing method of a powerhouse.
Only a Saint could possess 10000 dao domains.
A Ninth Tribulation half-Saint could only reach 9999 dao domains.
And Lin Ye had now surpassed the half-Saint limit and was comparable to a Saint's domain.
In other words, although his cultivation was only at the peak of the Five Qi Yang Realm, his methods were comparable to a Saint. Of course, if he encountered a real Saint, he still had no power to fight back.
In the sixth year, his cultivation broke through nine to one.
In the seventh year, his cultivation reached the Transcendence Golden Body.
In the eighth year, his Heavenly Emperor Fist reached the fifth stage.
In the ninth year, his divine sense reached the peak of the 52nd order.
In the tenth year, his Asura Purgatory reached the peak of the first stage.
In the eleventh year, his Frigid Heavens Aurora reached the fifth stage, and his Heavenly Extermination Finger reached the fourth stage.
In the twelfth year, his Heavenly Phoenix Divine Seal broke through and reached the Emperor Seal. Moreover, his Heavenly Phoenix Divine Seal was upgraded from a Heaven Rank martial skill to a Saint Rank martial skill. In the same year, Silent Soul's Domain of Darkness reached 10000 dao domains, and his Domain of Light was activated.
In the thirteenth year, the Azure Darkness Glaze advanced and reached the second stage of germination. There were eighteen green vines, and each vine's strength was comparable to a Second Tribulation half-Saint. When the eighteen green vines attacked together, even a Fourth Tribulation half-Saint would be defeated.
In the fourteenth year, Lin Ye came out of seclusion.
Zhang Shaochu and the others also came out of seclusion.
On this day, Lin Ye left the Tower of Time.
Fourteen years in the Nine Layer Space was only ten days in the outside world.
"Junior, if you have the chance, go take a look at the Nine Cauldrons God Suppression."
"Otherwise, you won't even be able to pass the half-Saint tribulation. Becoming a Saint is just a pipe dream."
Seeing Lin Ye.
The guardian took a deep look at Lin Ye and said to Lin Ye.
"Senior, thank you for your guidance."
"This junior will bear it in mind."
Lin Ye bowed deeply.
He wasn't a fool.
He knew that the guardian must know about the situation in the Tower of Time. He had already discovered Zhang Shaochu and the others last time. However, the guardian didn't punish him.
Instead, he kindly reminded him.
This made Lin Ye very grateful.
