Chapter 1182 - 1181: Passing Away
Chapter 1182 - 1181: Passing Away
Tang Rao's innocence didn't seem fake at all, but no matter how you looked at it, Tang Rao didn't act like he usually did."No problem, I'll give you some questions to solve first, and we'll see the results after you finish."
Elder Lin admired Tang Rao's intelligence, but that was not enough to judge Tang Rao's true strength.
Tang Rao was not worried at all about whether he could pass; did his intelligence even need to worry?
Sure enough, he aced the test, achieving full marks.
Elder Lin was quite honest, and didn't include questions that Tang Rao had already raised before.
"Elder Lin, is everything okay this time?"
When dealing with peculiar elder figures like Elder Lin, Tang Rao must be meticulous and patient, not allowing Elder Lin to pick on any small issue. But this time, Tang Rao was lucky as Elder Lin's face showed no dissatisfaction.
"Young man, you're lucky. Here's your prize, take it back and study it thoroughly. If you don't understand, come back and ask me."
Tang Rao accepted the gift from the elder, thinking it was valuable, perhaps a treasure. When he opened it, there was nothing but a small note.
"What is this?"
The note was folded several times, and Tang Rao spent some time opening it, only to find Elder Lin's neat handwriting on it.
"Take a good look at what's written here, carefully and thoroughly."
How could Tang Rao not understand? This note was a collection of Elder Lin's insights and reflections for Tang Rao. Was this the beginning of sharing teachings and solving doubts?
"Master, thank you so much."
Tang Rao expressed his gratitude to Elder Lin.
"You brat, as long as you don't scare me at random times, it doesn't matter if you thank me or not."
Being a master doesn't necessarily require the disciple to succeed or repay him, but he hopes someone will inherit his teachings, preventing his skills from disappearing.
With great delight, Tang Rao took the note to study the questions, not entering his slow personal palace but instead sitting by the wooden platform to spread the paper and read.
"The so-called path of stars is not the Great Dao..."
The path of stars was one of the cultivation paths Tang Rao and the others needed to pursue. After finishing the book, Elder Lin explained the path of stars to Tang Rao in a concise manner. The three thousand daos expanded to eight thousand, and those walking the star path were rare.
Understanding the path of stars requires opportunity, and Tang Rao happened to encounter it. There's no way around this fate.
In Elder Lin's view, understanding the path of stars would take at least half a year, but Tang Rao managed it in half a day, at most a day.
After spending half a day extra inside, Tang Rao emerged completely transformed.
"Tang Rao, have you figured it all out?"
Elder Lin asked with trembling hands.
In the Divine Realm, such situations would never occur.
"Yes, no problem. If I had more time, I could delve deeper into those derived paths, they seem quite interesting."
"No, no, having such a disciple as you is the pride of my life, Lin Yongsheng."
Elder Lin held Tang Rao's hand, looking at him with tears streaming down his face.
"No need to be so polite. I didn't put in much effort, it's all thanks to master's diligence."
Tang Rao was not only knowledgeable and intelligent but also highly respectful towards Elder Lin.
Moved, Elder Lin pulled Tang Rao straight into his room.
"Take off your clothes!"
Elder Lin commanded Tang Rao.
"Ah? Master, are we playing this big?"
Tang Rao couldn't believe this was his master's intention.
"Who's playing? Take off your clothes."
Making Tang Rao take off his clothes again didn't feel right.
But since Elder Lin was the one speaking, even if Elder Lin had some inappropriate desires, to repay his master's kindness, Tang Rao dared not resist excessively.
Alas, my reputation is ruined by my master.
Just as Tang Rao was about to wipe his tears, he felt a heat on his back, followed by an intense heat throughout his body, as if he was about to explode.
"Master, did you drug me?"
Tang Rao was confused about what Elder Lin intended to do next.
"Don't speak, just feel this pure energy."
Elder Lin transferred the pure energy to Tang Rao.
His consciousness suddenly became much clearer; even with his eyes closed, he could see things clearly in front of him.
"Master, you gave me this energy, but what about you? I can slowly refine these, but without this energy, wouldn't something serious happen to you?"
Tang Rao began to reject the influx of energy, but Elder Lin, being more powerful than Tang Rao, had already anticipated the refusal and forced the energy transfer.
"My things, I can give to whoever I want."
Elder Lin's domineering presence was displayed fully.
If Tang Rao were a woman, he would have fallen for Elder Lin's domineering aura.
After Tang Rao absorbed all of Elder Lin's pure energy, he felt much more enlightened.
As Tang Rao turned around with satisfaction, ready to thank Elder Lin, Elder Lin suddenly fell to the ground.
He looked pale, his eyes losing their sparkle when gazing at Tang Rao.
"Master, Master, are you okay?"
Tang Rao was somewhat frightened; he knew something was going to happen but didn't expect it to be this severe.
"It's nothing. Master's time has come. You're a talent when it comes to comprehension. Everything I know, I've given to you. If you succeed, bless the Divine Realm greatly; if not, don't mention I'm your master."
After saying this, Elder Lin ceased breathing.
"Master! Master!"
Tang Rao didn't even have time to think about how to save Elder Lin before Elder Lin passed away, leaving Tang Rao stunned.
No matter what, Tang Rao couldn't save Elder Lin.
Elder Lin was gone, without leaving a single important word behind.
"Tang Rao, this is Master's last words. After hearing it, scatter Master's ashes in the Divine River."
Elder Lin continued: "The comprehension of the star path is endless, never stop progressing."
With this last statement, Elder Lin's Divine Sense completely disappeared.
Following Elder Lin's wishes, Tang Rao scattered Elder Lin's ashes into the Divine Realm's largest river.
In just five days, Tang Rao's progress was visibly extraordinary.
When Tang Rao finished handling Elder Lin's affairs and returned to the Kao Shan Sect, everyone looked at Tang Rao as if he was a deity.
"Boss, did you go abroad to refine yourself?"
Lao Zhang watched Tang Rao surprise them continuously, and after not seeing him for a few days, Tang Rao seemed even more advanced.
"You figured that out? Am I really that amazing?"
Tang Rao joked casually, but inside, he felt quite pleased.
"Boss, don't be modest. You're our leader, and even though we're surprised, seeing you excel gives us pride as your followers, making us happy."
Lao Zhang was good with words, making Tang Rao feel even more content.
"Lao Zhang, you're pleasing my heart greatly with your words."
Tang Rao patted Lao Zhang's shoulder, chatting warmly with everyone.
"Brothers, our Kao Shan Sect has been established for quite a while now. In this period, don't you have any thoughts?"
