《Creating Heavenly Laws》


 Chapter 1

    Chapter 1


    "That''s how things are."


    "You should prepare after you return."


    The director, dressed in a ck uniform, crossed his arms and nced at the frail young man in front of him, a hint of sympathy flickering in his eyes.


    "I''ve been enlisted for conscription?"


    Lin Yuan seemed momentarily stunned.


    He had just crossed over and hadn''t had time to adjust yet when he received this shock from the blue.


    Actually, for an ordinary student like Lin Yuan, conscription wasn''t necessarily a bad thing. The government was always generous in its military expenditures. Even as a conscript, one could receive decent treatment.


    But that was during peacetime.


    Now, news of an invasion by an alien race in the border star systems had surfaced. Many spected that the purpose of this conscription was to reinforce the frontlines.


    In the 2.6 million years of the Star Sea''s history, the human interster alliance had fervently expanded, upying one star system after another. Inevitably, they hade into contact with civilizations of other species.


    Resources were finite, and topete for various celestial resources, human civilization actively engaged in a series of conflicts and wars.


    Those ousted alien civilizations, all of them, were lurking in the shadows, awaiting a chance tounch a counterattack against human civilization.


    "This is troublesome."


    Lin Yuan''s mood sank.


    He was well aware that although human civilization held an absolute advantage in dealing with most alien civilizations in war, on localized battlefields, it wasn''t smooth sailing.


    Civilizations from deep within the cosmos were brutal and individual entities possessed strength beyond imagination. Stories of tearing apart battleships were not mere tales.


    Engaging inbat with these alien races, even with fully armed human soldiers, resulted in an average mortality rate of 20 to 30 percent.


    Furthermore, due to the confidentiality of wars, all soldiers involved in exterminating alien races were prohibited frommunicating with the outside world.


    Localized space warsmonlysted for an extended period, spanning hundreds or even thousands of years.


    In other words, being selected for conscription meant that even if Lin Yuan survived the confrontation with the alien races, he would likely spend thetter half of his life aboard cold, outer-space warships.


    He would never set foot on the life-filleds, theirnds, and oceans.


    "Director, is there any room for negotiation about this matter? My parents are counting on me to support them, and I have a younger sister."


    The director tapped the desk and solemnly stated, "Rest assured, by actively responding to the government''s conscription policy, your family will be properly taken care of."


    "Your father will be promoted by one level in his current position, your mother will secure a decent job in the district, and your sister will have all her tuition fees waived. Additionally, once she turns 18, she''ll have the opportunity for further education in a prestigious institution."


    "So, have you thought through the arrangements for your future?"


    Lin Yuan pursed his lips, feeling an indescribableplexity in his heart.


    Honestly, considering it objectively, these conditions were quite favorable. His father was currently stuck at a career bottleneck that most people couldn''t surpass even after decades. If his mother could secure a decent job, it would greatly improve their family''s living conditions.


    As for his sister''s opportunity for higher education, that was something money couldn''t easily buy. Her potential future after attending a prestigious institution was promising.


    However...


    However...


    "Just why should all this be built upon my sacrifice??"


    Lin Yuan had only crossed into this body a few days ago, even though he had assimted all the memories. Yet, faced with this scene of ''sacrifice one for the happiness of the family,'' an inexplicable sense of rejection surged within him.


    "I still prefer life on a."


    Lin Yuan remained silent for a moment before speaking.


    Once he became a soldier, everything would fall under military control. Refusingter would be toote by then. Although refusing now probably wouldn''t make a difference.


    "Lin Yuan, serving the government is a duty every citizen should fulfill."


    "Moreover, this conscription is mandatory. If it''s picked you, even if you don''t want to go, it''s of no use."


    "Besides, young man, what''s wrong with experiencing something new? Being able to encounter alien races as mentioned only in textbooks is something an ordinary citizen could never achieve in a lifetime."


    "If you can achieve something, perhaps you could be transferred back to a military position in the future."


    "This is a rare opportunity that doesn''te often."


    The director patiently reassured Lin Yuan.


    "But..."


    Lin Yuan opened his mouth to say more, but the director waved his hand, "Alright, you can leave now. Spend these days with your family."


    Under the director''s gaze, Lin Yuan stood up and left.


    Outside the door, over a dozen students of a simr age to Lin Yuan were waiting in line. As Lin Yuan exited, another student walked in.


    "Hey, what did the director want from us?"


    A dark-skinned student hurriedly grabbed Lin Yuan''s arm and asked in a low voice.


    "You''ll find out once you''re in there."


    Lin Yuan sighed and didn''t pay much attention, walking away directly.


    Before meeting the director, Lin Yuan hadn''t expected to be conscripted forcibly.


    Last week, Lin Yuan had learned about the mandatory conscription from a reputable media broadcast on their home. However, at that time, Lin Yuan didn''t pay much attention.


    The mandatory conscription covered the entire Cann Star and dozens of neighborings with life.


    Cann Star had a resident poption of five billion, and the conscription quota distributed to Cann Star was only a few hundred thousand. From a probabilistic standpoint, the chance of being selected for mandatory conscription was around one in a hundred thousand for the citizens.


    With such slim odds, Lin Yuan hadn''t really bothered about it.


    But reality was full of unexpected turns...


    The original owner bought various lottery tickets for over a decade without winning once, yet the conscription with odds of one in a hundred thousand fell on me.


    Lin Yuan returned home.


    He found both his parents present, even his younger sister sitting, which was rare.


    Staring at the cake in front of him, he longed to grab a piece but hesitated.


    "Xiaoyuan."


    His mother, Lu Qiong, stood up, her gaze toward Lin Yuan filled with words left unspoken.


    His father, Lin Shoucheng, sat with a furrowed brow, lost in thought.


    Obviously, news of Lin Yuan being conscripted had reached home. In fact, his parents had known about it earlier than Lin Yuan.


    "There''s still room regarding the conscription."


    "Tomorrow, I''ll go talk to your uncle and ask him to intervene."


    His father, Lin Shoucheng, spoke up.


    The ''uncle'' he referred to was a distant rtive.


    Currently employed in a research institute, he had some connections.


    "No need."


    Lin Yuan shook his head.


    The mandatory conscription policy came from the government. Even if it was a mere unknown employee from some research institute, altering it would require a substantial price.


    Of course,


    If Lin Yuan truly had connections with the ruling officials,


    His name wouldn''t even appear on the conscription list.


    Before the list came out, spending money and connections might offer a chance to avoid being listed. However, once the list was finalized, reversing it would be difficult.


    "I''m a bit tired."


    "I''ll head back to my room first."


    Lin Yuan ate a little and then stood up to return to his room.


    "How to escape the mandatory conscription quota."


    Lin Yuany back on the soft bed, still holding onto a glimmer of hope.


    "Connect to the Goddess of Wisdom."


    After a moment of contemtion, Lin Yuan sat up.


    The Goddess of Wisdom was one of the three major goddesses of the Human Interster Alliance. It was the core intelligent processing system of the entire civilization, overseeing the overall operation of the civilization, managing all affairs of its citizens, rigorously monitoring any anomalies, and ensuring all operations were in ordance with the civilization''s charter.


    Over the past 2 million years of interster history, the three goddesses yed an essential role in the sweeping sess of the human civilization over various alien races.


    The goddesses didn''t possess emotions, cognitive biases toward things, or make decisions influenced by emotions, unlike humans.


    The version of the Goddess of Wisdom that Lin Yuan was connected to wasn''t the actual primary consciousness but a tiny, insignificant sub-consciousness, a benefit avable to every citizen.


    "Universal Level Citizen Lin Yuan, please state your query."


    An electronically synthesized voice echoed through the pervasivework into Lin Yuan''s ears.


    "I want to know the conditions to exempt myself from the mandatory conscription."


    Lin Yuan organized his thoughts and inquired.


    "The mandatory conscription originates from Article 156 of the charter, aimed at maintaining stability within human civilization and in external battles. All human citizens are obliged to cooperate with conscription."


    "Three situations can exempt you from the mandatory conscription."


    "First: Evolvers, humans on the path of evolution, are the hope of human civilization and have the privilege to refuse the policy of mandatory conscription."


    "Evolvers," Lin Yuan''s expression becameplex.


    In the long history of the cosmos, Evolvers weren''t a secret. There were various ways to be an Evolver, primarily categorized as Unique Evolvers and Common Evolvers.


    Unique Evolvers were those impossible to replicate or disseminate, like certain evolved lineages by hereditary bloodlines. There were also individuals who went through an unrepeatable, specific process, resulting in mutations and possessing extraordinary powers, also ssified as Unique Evolvers.


    Common Evolvers followed a stable path of evolution, such as Gene Soldiers who entered the path through expensive gene agents or Mental Masters created through brutal training and specific practices, turning them into killing machines.


    Any stable evolution path was highly valuable knowledge, explored and discovered by countless predecessors at the cost of their lives.


    "I''m just an ordinary person" Lin Yuan sighed.


    Being an ordinary person meant being devoid of the chances to be a Unique Evolver. Lin Yuan could only consider a stable evolution path. However, thetter was not a quick achievement. Few paths like the Gene Soldier offered elerated growth, but they were based on expensive gene agents and other treasures, strictly controlled within the Human Interster Alliance. Ordinary people didn''t even have the qualifications to purchase them, let alone afford them.


    Even if the gene agents were ced in front of Lin Yuan, he couldn''t afford them.


    As Lin Yuan contemted, the cold, indifferent synthesized voice resounded once again.


    "Second: Universal Level Four Citizens have an exemption privilege every decade, allowing them to negate the mandatory conscription."


    "Four Level Citizens," Lin Yuan''s lips twitched slightly.


    In the first year of interster history, the human civilization established a citizen-level system.


    Citizens are divided into twelve levels, with higher levels possessing greater privileges.


    The method to elevate citizen levels is through contributions to human civilization, overseen by the three goddesses to ensure absolute fairness.


    Hence, raising one''s citizen level is exceedingly difficult. Almost 99.9% of citizens remain at level one from birth till death.


    Of course, apanying this is an array of privileges for higher-level citizens. Starting from level four, every decade grants an exemption privilege, including pardoning penalties for citizens below serious criminals, such as mandatory conscription.


    However, given the current Lin family''s connections, where could one meet a level four citizen?


    Considering the current poption of 50 billion on Cann Star, only one citizen has reached level four: the Governor of Cann Star.


    A figure wielding control over billions of lives.


    "What about the third situation?"


    Lin Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    "Three: Contribute to human civilization, elevate to level two citizen, and be exempt from mandatory conscription."


    The synthesized voice returned, leaving Lin Yuan in silence once again.


    Even if not an Evolver, a level two citizen''s status was not lower than most Evolvers. They possessed privileges akin to Evolvers. However, achieving level two citizenship was more difficult than bing an Evolver.


    At least Lin Yuan knew how to be an Evolver, even if it was beyond his reach. But to ascend to level two citizenship, the contributions acknowledged by the Goddess of Wisdom were entirely elusive.


    "What specific actions constitute contributions?"


    Lin Yuan cautiously inquired.


    "Providing apletely new evolutionary path will yield substantial contributions."


    The synthesized voice sounded.


    Faintly, Lin Yuan realized the significant value the Goddess of Wisdom ced on entirely new evolutionary paths. Otherwise, such contributions wouldn''t be rewarded with substantial acknowledgment.


    "Let''s think of other methods."


    Lin Yuan massaged his temples, realizing that among the three situations provided by the Goddess of Wisdom, none were achievable for him at present.


    Especially thest oneproviding apletely new evolutionary path? If Lin Yuan had that ability, he would have ascended to level two citizenship already, instead of waiting to be conscripted.


    Unknowingly, it had already turned into midnight.


    Gradually, Lin Yuan drifted into deep sleep.


    Suddenly.


    At that moment, an inexplicable force drew Lin Yuan''s consciousness into his mind. Deep within, a magnificent and towering light gate appeared.


    Within the gate, a faint blue light screen filled the space, rippling like water waves.


    "What is this?" Lin Yuan was suddenly startled.


    Instantly, he was jolted awake from his slumber.


    "This isn''t a dream."


    Even after waking, Lin Yuan could still sense the presence of the light gate deep in his mind.


    Simultaneously, phantom-like characters shed beneath Lin Yuan''s field of vision.


    [Name: Lin Yuan]


    [Identity: Keeper of the Myriad Realms Gate]


    [Realm: None]


    [Talent: None]


    [Divine Ability: None]


    ...


    So... How is the first chapter?

 Chapter 2: Enlightenment

    Chapter 2: Enlightenment


    "The door... It can transport me to another world?"


    Through a brief mental connection, information streamed from within the ''door.''


    In essence, Lin Yuan could, if willing, enter another world through the ''door'' in his mind. This entry wasn''t about physical presence but rather the arrival of one''s true spirit and consciousness, akin to a transmigration.


    "The Myriad Realms Gate..."


    Lin Yuan appeared contemtive. ording to the fleeting text beneath his vision, the gate in his mind was the Myriad Realms Gate, and he was its keeper.


    "Now or never?"


    Lin Yuan pondered. The Myriad Realms Gate could project his true spirit and consciousness into a different realm. However, it wasn''t without limitations; after each traversal, the gate needed time for ''recharging.''


    Based on the orbital cycle of Cann Star, this ''recharging'' took roughly eight months to a year.


    "Forget it."


    Lin Yuan made a decision.


    In a few days, recruitment personnel would arrive to take him away for conscription. Then, he''d be under extensive surveince alongside other new recruits. He didn''t know if using the Myriad Realms Gate to traverse would leave traces on his physical body, possibly alerting the surveince system. But Lin Yuan wasn''t willing to take that gamble.


    Even a fool could tell that the Myriad Realms Gate in his mind was an extraordinary treasure. If its existence was revealed, the consequences would be far worse than forced conscription.


    Thus, the best time for inter-realm traversal was now. At least for the moment, Lin Yuan wasn''t under any surveince. Even if there were any abnormalities, he hoped to conceal them.


    Moreover, given the remarkable nature of the Myriad Realms Gate, it might even elevate Lin Yuan to the status of an ''evolver,'' exempting him from forced conscription.


    "Traversal."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts stirred, and the ethereal door in his mind began to vibrate. His consciousness seemed to lose control and surged into the gate uncontrobly.


    The Great Departure Dynasty.


    The Great Zen Monastery.


    As a world-renowned sacred Buddhist site, the Great Zen Monastery held an unfathomable heritage. There were no less than fifty innate-stage martial monks and even one Grandmaster at the Zen stage.


    It wasmon knowledge that innate-stage martial artists were skilled practitioners, and a Grandmaster was a rarity, whether in temples or across thend. With a Grandmaster presiding, the Great Zen Monastery could be considered one of the most elite powers.


    The Martial Monk Hall.


    Hundreds of monks, bare-chested, practiced the Arhat Fist, a foundational martial art beneficial for cultivating internal energy.


    As the monks repeatedly practiced their forms, a group of three- or four-year-old novices, d in grey robes, peeked out from a distance with round, curious eyes, full of anticipation.


    These novices were the most recent disciples recruited by the Great Zen Monastery, mostly orphans without parents.


    "Unexpected."


    Among the ten novices, one of the younger ones showed a glint of curiosity in their eyes. This novice was none other than Lin Yuan, who had traversed worlds.


    "The martial world."


    Lin Yuan contemted. Despite being a young novice in his original form, he had some understanding of this world. It was akin to the ancient ''Earth,'' a ce where martial artists could confront overwhelming odds.


    From the novice''s memories, Lin Yuan discovered a senior monk at the Great Zen Monastery, several meters away, effortlessly demolishing a wall with a light palm strike. In the context of the intergctic human civilization, this was considered superhuman, cing such individuals in the category of ''evolvers.''


    [Name: Lin Yuan]


    [Identity: Keeper of the Myriad Realms Gate]


    [Realm: None]


    [Bound Talent: Unrivaled Insight]


    [Current State: Consciousness Arrival]


    [Residency Duration: Twenty Years]


    Lines of ethereal text silently shed in Lin Yuan''s lower-left field of vision.


    "Can I only stay in this world for twenty years?"


    Lin Yuan appeared contemtive. This limitation wasn''t difficult to understand. However, the newly emerged ''Bound Talent'' puzzled him.


    "Unrivaled Insight."


    Lin Yuan scanned himself thoroughly. Besides enhanced sensory perception, there were no other anomalies.


    "Hmm?"


    "That''s a sparrow."


    Lin Yuan looked up and spotted a sparrow flying overhead. His heightened senses allowed him to notice every detail of the sparrow''s bodyits feathers, wings, and plumage.


    In just a moment:


    [Your Unrivaled Insight allowed you to witness the flight of the sparrow, granting youprehension of the Martial Art: Avian Sky Crossing Technique.]


    Lin Yuan''s eyes widened. In an instant, numerous key points about the Avian Sky Crossing Technique flooded his mind. This technique allowed brief levitation, although it didn''t enable true flight like a sparrow, it was incredibly extraordinary.


    "So this is Unrivaled Insight."


    Lin Yuan took a deep breath. Merely observing a sparrow had granted him knowledge of a rare techniquetruly living up to the term ''unrivaled.''


    "Earthworm."


    Shifting focus, Lin Yuan looked at the earthworm crawling out of the soil.


    [Your Unrivaled Insight allowed you to witness the earthworm''s burrowing, granting youprehension of the Martial Art: Earth Dragon Turning Technique.]


    Experience and techniques for digging poured in. With the Earth Dragon Turning Technique, Lin Yuan could swiftly create vast underground passages, making him the ancestor of all tomb raiders.


    "Insane."


    "Incredibly insane."


    Lin Yuan couldn''t help but marvel. His attention shifted to the numerous martial monks practicing nearby.


    [Your Unrivaled Insight allowed you to observe the martial monks practicing the Arhat Fist, granting youprehension of the High-Quality Martial Art: Grand Arhat Buddha Fist.]


    Compared to the previous attempts, this one took much longer, nearly the time of burning half an incense stick.


    "Grand Arhat Buddha Fist?"


    Enlightenment sparked in Lin Yuan''s mind, and he began practicing the fist technique.


    Under an old kwei tree at the Martial Monk Hall, Abbot Hui Wen halted, observing the monks practicing.


    "Well done, well done."


    "The path of martial arts knows no shortcuts."


    "Only through daily practice for decades can one achieve something."


    Abbot Hui Wen nodded slightly, expressing admiration. After observing for a while, he noticed no monks cking offeveryone was diligently practicing, showing no signs of negligence.


    "As for those young rascals"


    Abbott Hui Wen nced briefly and caught sight of the group of young novices peering from a distance.


    Though the Grand Zen Temple was a sanctuary of Buddhism, it was also a major center for martial arts. It was natural for newly initiated young novices to aspire to learn martial arts.


    "You''ve barely learned to walk, yet you''re thinking of running away?"


    Abbott Hui Wen observed six or seven young novices imitating the martial monks, attempting to mimic their fist techniques. He felt a tinge of helplessness.


    The Arhat Fist, while not an immensely profound martial art, was a closely guarded secret within the Grand Zen Temple. It took at least seven or eight years of dedicated practice, under the guidance of aplished masters, to grasp even its basics. These novices were still growing and were nowhere near the physical condition required to master the Arhat Fist.


    "Fooling around, just fooling around."


    Abbott Hui Wen frowned. Martial arts were no joke. Forcefully practicing without proper guidance not only yielded no benefits but could also cause harm.


    "Hmm?"


    As Abbott Hui Wen was about to intervene and shoo away the young novices, he suddenly froze. His gazended on the youngest novice among them, who was also practicing the martial arts.


    "This?"


    Abbott Hui Wen''s expression subtly changed. The more he observed, the more incredulous he became. He was astounded, as if witnessing an incredible upheaval within himself.

 Chapter 3

    Chapter 3


    For Abbott Hui Wen, a pinnacle martial artist at the Pre-Natal Peak, few things could stir his emotions. Buddhist practices inherently induced a serene calmness. Having immersed himself in Buddhism for seventy to eighty years, even the copsing of Mount Tai would likely not perturb his demeanor.


    However, at this moment, waves of shock surged within Abbott Hui Wen.


    "This is the Arhat Fist? No, this isn''t the Arhat Fist!"


    Carefully observing the young novice demonstrating the martial arts technique, Abbott Hui Wen was astounded. Compared to the surging vigor emanating from hundreds of adult martial monks practicing the Arhat Fist, this young novice''s movements were calm and quiet, yet carried a subtle and innate quality.


    It was a seamless and innate proficiency that seemed almost supernatural.


    "How is this possible?!"


    "A mere stubborn child, how could he master such a profound martial art?"


    Abbott Hui Wen found it unbelievable. Any martial art, including those within the Buddhist tradition, required a considerable amount of time forprehension and mastery.


    The Arhat Fist wasn''t particrly profound, yet it demanded six or seven years of dedicated practice for an ordinary person to achieve some level of skill. However, the technique being disyed by the young novice seemed several levels above the Arhat Fist inplexity, and yet, it appeared to be effortlessly mastered.


    What puzzled Abbott Hui Wen the most was that although the young novice''s movements bore traces of the Arhat Fist, they were far superior, almost reaching the level of the seventy-two Supreme Techniques of the Grand Zen Temple.


    The fact that such an exceptional martial art within the Buddhist tradition existed without his knowledge left Abbott Hui Wen in disbelief.


    "Head Monk."


    The other young novices noticed Abbott Hui Wen''s gaze, their faces paling as they stood obediently in their ces. Meanwhile, Lin Yuan continued to practice the recentlyprehended ''Grand Arhat Buddha Fist''.


    "Um."


    Abbott Hui Wen, disinterested in the wayward novices, waved his hand, signaling for them to leave. His unwavering focus was on Lin Yuan, who diligently practiced the newly discovered martial art.


    "Grand Arhat Buddha Fist!!"


    As Lin Yuan practiced this newfound martial arts technique, he felt a soothing sensation spreading through his limbs and body, akin to bathing in a warm spring.


    It was hard to say how much time had passed.


    Lin Yuan quietly condensed a breath of energy within his lower abdomen''s dantian.


    "This should be internal energy?"


    "Is it the pre-natal internal energy that only pre-natal martial experts can master?"


    Lin Yuan spected, being just a three or four-year-old novice with limited knowledge. He knew that pre-natal internal energy belonged to a league of power wielded by pre-natal martial experts.


    As Lin Yuan reached a fraction of internal energy, a sudden hunger sensation swept over him. Itpelled him to instinctively cease practicing the martial art.


    Continuing further would likely leave him famished.


    However, as Lin Yuan looked around, he noticed the disappearance of the hundreds of martial monks and the dozen novices. In their ce stood seven older monks.


    The monk with elongated eyebrows in the middle gave Lin Yuan an intense gaze, making him feel a little uneasy.


    "Abbott? Head monk?"


    Lin Yuan tentatively inquired. Among the seven monks, he recognized three: the head of the Martial Monk Academy, the head of the Disciplinary Academy, and the current abbot of the Grand Zen Temple.


    The identities of the other four were unknown, but standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the abbot and head monk signified their high status.


    "Little one."


    The current abbot of the Grand Zen Temple, Abbess Hui Jue, smiled gently and asked, "The martial arts you were just practicing, where did you learn them?"


    Abbott Hui Wen, after instructing the other novices to leave, immediately contacted the Grand Zen Temple''s abbess and other head monks. True martial experts of the Grand Zen Temple understood the gravity of the situation and hurried over.


    Everyone shared Abbott Hui Wen''s judgmentLin Yuan''s practiced martial art was as profound as superior martial arts. Moreover, this martial art was an unheard-of Buddhist martial art.


    "If not seen with our own eyes, none of us would believe that such a superior Buddhist martial art exists, unheard of in our world."


    "Where did you learn it from?"


    Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan felt a slight relief. By demonstrating the ''Grand Arhat Buddha Fist'' on the spot, he intended to reveal his innate talents.


    Through the three recent attempts, Lin Yuan understood that to exploit the effect of the extraordinary insight, he needed to expose himself to the world''s profound martial arts.


    Observing the sparrow and the earthworm, he could onlyprehend ordinary martial arts''Divine Sparrow Sky Crossing Technique'' and ''Earth Dragon Rolling Technique''. But witnessing the martial monks practicing the Arhat Fist enabled him to instantlyprehend a superior martial artthe ''Grand Arhat Buddha Fist''.


    Lin Yuan was unaware of the status of superior martial arts, but recognizing its significance in generating pre-natal internal energy, he knew it wasn''t simple.


    To ess such superior martial arts within the Grand Zen Temple, or even more profound ones, being just a novice was impossible.


    "Reporting to Abbess, I saw senior brothers practicing their fist techniques. I also wanted to join in. While practicing, Iprehended this martial art. I''m not sure if I should have or not."


    Lin Yuan showed a hint of apprehension, speaking truthfully. In the cosmic human alliance, this transparency might lead to scrutiny or research. Yet, in this feudal martial world, especially within a religiously charged ce like the Grand Zen Temple, even if Lin Yuan revealed extraordinary talent, it might be regarded as a reincarnated Buddha or a chosen one.


    "By observing martial monks practicing the Arhat Fist, I gained insights into a superior martial art that far surpasses the Arhat Fist."


    The abbot of the Grand Zen Temple and the other head monks fell into silence.


    Even if someone else dared to say such a thing, they wouldn''t believe it.


    "What a joke. Do they really think superior martial arts are so easily obtainable?"


    Most superior martial arts in the world were the result of the painstaking efforts of martial masters in the realm of grandmasters.


    The Grand Zen Temple, being a sacred ce of Buddhism and a major hub of martial arts, primarily relied on the cultivation of pre-natal martial experts through the Seventy-Two Masteriesseventy-two superior martial arts.


    For a child of three or four years to imprehension of a superior martial art?


    However, upon deeper contemtion, the abbot and others astonishingly found that Lin Yuan''s words might hold some truth.


    Firstly, the ''Grand Arhat Buddha Fist'' was indeed a superior Buddhist martial art. Presently, aside from the Grand Zen Temple, there were a few other Buddhist sects, but they all acknowledged the Grand Zen Temple''s leadership in this regard.


    Secondly, while there were other superior Buddhist martial arts beyond the Seventy-Two Masteries, the abbot and head monks were familiar with them. However, Lin Yuan''s practiced martial art was something they were witnessing for the first time.


    Moreover, the close resemnce between the ''Grand Arhat Buddha Fist'' and the ''Arhat Fist'' supported Lin Yuan''s im of having gained insight into the former by observing thetter.


    In a split second, the abbot and head monks exchanged nces, and a mutual thought emerged in their minds.


    Could it be that among the new disciples recently epted into the Grand Zen Temple, there truly emerged an unprecedented martial prodigy of the millennium?

 Chapter 4: Five years later

    Chapter 4: Five yearster


    "Little one,"


    "Let me see your hand."


    While the abbot, head monks, and others were immersed in their thoughts, the long-browed old monk stepped forward, speaking in a gentle tone.


    "Alright."


    Lin Yuan did not refuse, and, in fact, he couldn''t refuse.


    As he looked at this long-browed old monk, Lin Yuan felt the prenatal Qi he had just condensed in his lower abdomen trembling.


    It was evident that this long-browed old monk''s strength far exceeded Lin Yuan''s imagination, at least stronger than the abbot, head monks, and others, as Lin Yuan didn''t sense such pressure from them.


    "Perfect mastery in martial arts, self-generating inner Qi."


    "Indeed, you have perfected a superior martial art to such an extent."


    The long-browed old monk gently touched Lin Yuan''s right hand, and a scorching inner Qi spread out. Shortly after, he sighed.


    "Self-generating inner Qi?"


    The abbot and the head monks, hearing this, simultaneously let out a sigh of relief.


    Even though they had spected earlier, they still found it inconceivable.


    In this world of martial arts, practitioners were categorized into postnatal, prenatal, master, and grandmaster levels.


    In general, reaching the master level was considered the ceiling, and it might take several centuries to produce one.


    Postnatal and prenatal practitioners constituted the vast majority of martial artists in the world.


    To transition from postnatal to prenatal, there were three main paths.


    One: Ingesting some rare spiritual medicine from heaven and earth. After absorbing its power, even an ordinary person could be a prenatal martial expert.


    Two: A postnatal peak practitioner seizing a breakthrough opportunity, sessfully advancing into the prenatal realm. This was the mainstream path, followed by almost all prenatal martial experts.


    Three: Cultivating a superior martial art to perfection.


    Superior martial arts were the painstaking works of master-level martial experts. When such martial arts were cultivated to perfection, individuals naturally developed prenatal inner Qi. This wasn''t a strange urrence.


    However, entering the prenatal realm through this path usually happened to martial experts in their fifties or sixties, dedicating decades to the relentless study of superior martial arts and, finally, experiencing a fortuitous event where theyprehended something.


    To have someone like Lin Yuan, whoprehended a superior martial art at the age of three or four, at least ording to the abbot and the head monks'' knowledge, was unheard of.


    This kind of feat could only be vaguely exined by a martial prodigy, someone born with innate knowledge, a rarity urring once every thousand years.


    "Little one, are you willing to ept me as your master?"


    The long-browed old monk looked at Lin Yuan with aplex expression and suddenly spoke.


    As these words were uttered, the abbot, head monks, and other monks did not show any surprise. After confirming that Lin Yuan hadprehended a superior martial art and perfected its practice, they realized that Lin Yuan''s martial talent was undoubtedly the greatest in the thousand-year history of the Great Zen Temple.


    As a martial prodigy of such caliber, only the long-browed old monk had the confidence to teach him in the entire Great Zen Temple. As for the abbot, head monks, and others, strictly speaking, they were also in the prenatal realm. Where was the qualification to take disciples?


    "Disciple pays respects to Master."


    Lin Yuan immediately bowed respectfully to the long-browed old monk. Bing the disciple of the long-browed old monk undoubtedly saved Lin Yuan a significant amount of time.


    ording to the rules of the Great Zen Temple, any disciple, regardless of their identity, had to undergo three years of running monk duties, three years of misceneous monk duties, three years in the scripture hall, and three years in the disciplinary court. Only after enduring these twelve years would they qualify to formally engage with the true martial arts of the Great Zen Temple.


    If Lin Yuan did not showcase his talent and remained among ordinary little novices, he would waste a considerable amount of time. Although, with his extraordinaryprehension ability, he might gain insights even by observing mountains and rivers, the difference in starting point would lead to significantly disparate oues in terms of achievements over the same period.


    Under the premise of being limited to a stay of only twenty years in this world, such an approach was clearly not feasible.


    By taking the long-browed old monk as his master, Lin Yuan would receive direct guidance and transmission of knowledge from the only master in the Great Zen Temple. Coupled with his extraordinaryprehension ability, Lin Yuan''s progress would be unparalleled.


    Two monthster, Lin Yuan and the long-browed old monk sat facing each other.


    "From now on, you can move to the scripture repository."


    The long-browed old monk''s mouth twitched slightly. Implicit in these words was the acknowledgment that the long-browed old monk felt incapable of further instructing Lin Yuan.


    There was no help for it. Lin Yuan''sprehension ability was too exaggerated. At the beginning, the long-browed old monk could still provide guidance to Lin Yuan. However, a few dayster, he began to feel that something was amiss.


    Throughout history, individuals with exceptional intelligence were often described as being able to extrapte from one example. However, Lin Yuan was not merely extrapting from one; he was extrapting from ten, even a hundred!


    No matter what the long-browed old monk said, Lin Yuan could quickly understand and derive even deeper insights. What made the long-browed old monk find it more incredible was that Lin Yuan not only had such talent in martial arts but also in Buddhist scriptures and teachings.


    Facing such a prodigy, even an aplished master like the long-browed old monk felt somewhat overwhelmed.


    So, as it progressed, rather than saying that the long-browed old monk was instructing Lin Yuan, it seemed more like two eminent monks engaging in an equal debate. In some instances, Lin Yuan''s words even greatly benefited the master long-browed old monk.


    And all of this had been achieved in just two months.


    "The scripture repository?"


    Lin Yuan''s eyes lit up.


    The scripture repository was where the Great Zen Temple stored its martial arts. It was an absolute key location. The seventy-two superior martial arts, known as the seventy-two transcendent skills, were stored on the second floor of the scripture repository. Additionally, on the third floor, there were even more profound martial arts surpassing the seventy-two transcendent skills.


    In fact, Lin Yuan had long wanted to visit the scripture repository, but the long-browed old monk had never agreed. He kept saying that Lin Yuan was too young, and exposure to things of such high levels would be detrimental to his state of mind.


    "The various martial arts stored in the scripture repository were authored by generations of masters of the Great Zen Temple. There, you should be able to learn more."


    The long-browed old monk waved his hand, adopting a somewhat resigned posture. Since he couldn''t teach Lin Yuan, he decided to let the masters of the Great Zen Temple throughout the ages be Lin Yuan''s instructors.


    In reality, the scripture repository was a restricted area, and ordinary disciples had no qualification to enter. However, Lin Yuan was different.


    With the permission of the long-browed old monk, entering the scripture repository posed no problem.


    After that day, the long-browed old monk dered seclusion. Lin Yuan, on the other hand, resided frequently in the scripture repository.


    At the young age of three, Lin Yuan began perusing numerous martial arts. The scripture repository housed an extensive collection of martial arts, with the seventy-two transcendent skills being just the most renowned part. There were many other martial arts as well.


    "The Muscle Transformation Scripture?"


    On the second floor of the scripture repository, Lin Yuan took out an ancient scroll. The Muscle Transformation Scripture was a unique martial art that could reshape the muscles and enhance martial aptitude. Its value might even surpass that of the seventy-two transcendent skills.


    However, this particr martial art had not been mastered by anyone in the entire Great Zen Temple. The reason was its high threshold, requiring not only martialprehension but also an understanding of Buddhist scriptures.


    Perhaps the long-browed old monk had the foundation to master the Muscle Transformation Scripture, but for a master, it was not as crucial.


    Lin Yuan picked up the original Muscle Transformation Scripture and began reading it attentively.


    Three dayster:


    [Due to your extraordinaryprehension, watching the special martial art Muscle Transformation Scripture, you haveprehended the special martial art ''Muscle and Bone Cleansing, Body Forging, Blood Exchange, and Spirit Refinement Technique''.]


    Lin Yuan felt a slight joy in his heart. A mysterious force began circting between his limbs and bones, gradually strengthening his meridians, flesh, and blood.


    This force wasn''t limited to his physical body; it extended to Lin Yuan''s spirit and soul, nurturing them.


    "The original Muscle Transformation Scripture had a limited effect, but this ''Muscle and Bone Cleansing, Body Forging, Blood Exchange, and Spirit Refinement Technique'' I''veprehended now can strengthen every aspect without any shorings. Even masters would probably envy it."


    Lin Yuan couldn''t help but smile. After two months of guidance from the long-browed old monk, Lin Yuan was no longer ignorant of the current martial arts world.


    Masters emphasized muscles and bones, and each master had developed their muscles and bones to the pinnacle of an ordinary person.


    However, the subsequent forging of the body, blood exchange, and spirit refinement had a significant impact on masters.


    Especially spirit refinement, it was said that even masters were eager to enhance their mental martial arts.


    "With this ''Muscle and Bone Cleansing, Body Forging, Blood Exchange, and Spirit Refinement Technique,'' stepping into the realm of a master should be achieved ahead of time."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly, highly satisfied. Afterprehending the ''Great Buddha Fist,'' Lin Yuan had advanced into the prenatal realm, surpassing the ordinary prenatal martial practitioners. However, his prenatal realm was somewhatcking, given that others achieved it with abundant vital energy and blood.


    In contrast, Lin Yuan, with the body of a three-year-old, naturally couldn''t match the quantity and quality of the prenatal internal energy of regr practitioners.


    Nevertheless, with this ''Muscle and Bone Cleansing, Body Forging, Blood Exchange, and Spirit Refinement Technique,'' Lin Yuan could save time and improve his physical and spiritual attributesprehensively.


    And so, Lin Yuan stayed in the scripture repository for five years.

 Chapter 5: Is he still human?

    Chapter 5: Is he still human?


    The Great Zen Temple, ancient and serene, showed no signs of the passing five years.


    In the scripture repository:


    "Five years have passed."


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his gaze profound. Unbeknownst to him, five years had psed since his arrival in this world. He was now a quarter of the way through the maximum residency of twenty years.


    During these five years, besides immersing himself in understanding and practicing the insights he gained, Lin Yuan had also acquired a certain level of knowledge about this world.


    The source of his understanding naturally came from the Great Zen Temple. As a sacred ce of Buddhism and a major force in martial arts, the Great Zen Temple couldn''tpletely iste itself from the world. On the contrary, its intelligencework extended throughout various corners of the world. Using Buddhist faith as a pretext, they had infiltrated nearly every aspect.


    ording to Lin Yuan''s knowledge, the current Great Li Dynasty ruled over the Central ins, enjoying a period of prosperity. The entire realm was under its control.


    Even the millennium-old Great Zen Temple had to bow before the Great Li Dynasty.


    ording to the information gathered by the Great Zen Temple, at least six martial arts masters served the Great Li Dynasty.


    It''s worth noting that there were probably only around a dozen martial arts masters in the entire world today.


    Having one master was enough for the Great Zen Temple to dominate the martial arts world. The Great Li Dynasty, with six martial arts masters, held immense deterrent power.


    The reason for the Great Li Dynasty''s profound strength was its founding ancestor, a grandmaster.


    Grandmaster.


    Martial Arts Grandmaster.


    One word made a world of difference.


    From ancient times, each era had its own masters. Some eras had a few, while others had dozens.


    However, a martial arts grandmaster. was a rare urrence, with perhaps centuries passing before one emerged.


    The Great Li Dynasty''s dominance over the world, forcing even the Great Zen Temple to submit, was due to the existence of their invincible founding ancestor, a grandmaster.


    Even after the passing of many years, the techniques left by this grandmaster still controlled the six martial arts masters. The Great Li Dynasty''s founder had been a grandmaster, a level of spiritual and martial prowess that set him apart from ordinary masters.


    Whileter generations of martial practitioners focused on the transformation of their bodies, blood, and energy, martial arts grandmasters aimed for a spiritual refinement, a realm of their own.


    One living martial arts grandmaster could make ordinary masters tremble with a single nce.


    "Spiritual Anomaly."


    Lin Yuan touched his forehead.


    The founder of the Great Zen Temple, Patriarch Bodhidharma, a master from a millennium ago, was also a martial arts grandmaster. Therefore, the Great Zen Temple had detailed descriptions of grandmasters.


    Compared to martial arts masters, the distinguishing feature of grandmasters was the initiation of the development of the spiritual soul''s power.


    To break through to the realm of grandmaster, one must gather and master spiritual anomalies. However, the realm of the spiritual soul was elusive and ethereal. Ordinary masters might spend decades without sensing this power. Even if a master did sense it, any slight mistake during the process of gathering spiritual anomalies could lead to irreversible consequences.


    Physical injuries could be gradually healed and restored, but the same couldn''t be said for the spiritual soul. Typically, out of a hundred masters, about eighty would never touch the level of the spiritual soul during their lifetime. Neen who did sense the spiritual soul might perish while attempting to gather spiritual anomalies. In the end, only one master would sessfully ascend to the realm of grandmaster.


    "The one hundred and sixty-third method to break into the realm of grandmaster seems to have almost no danger," Lin Yuan contemted.


    Ever since he had sessfully crossed into the realm of master four years ago using the ''Body Refining and Spirit Purifying Technique,'' Lin Yuan had been pondering ways to ascend to the realm of grandmaster.


    Given Lin Yuan''s extraordinary insight, understanding and developing the spiritual soul were within his capabilities. The challengey in how to condense spiritual anomalies without any risk.


    Lin Yuan had been exploring the methods left by the Great Zen Temple''s founder, Patriarch Bodhidharma, for the past few years, stored on the third floor of the scripture repository.


    However, these methods had a high mortality rate, reaching ny-six percent. Despite being lower than the ny-nine percent mortality rate outside, it was still too high for Lin Yuan to ept.


    That was why Lin Yuan decided to use his extraordinary insight to create a method to ascend to the realm of grandmaster without any risk.


    After creating one hundred and sixty-two methods, the breakthrough method he formted a few days ago, the one hundred and sixty-third, left Lin Yuan quite satisfied. It not only minimized the risk of ascending to the realm of grandmaster but also provided room for recovery even in extreme circumstances.


    Now, Lin Yuan felt confident that he could cross into the realm of grandmaster without any risk.


    "Today is the day I step into the realm of grandmaster."


    Lin Yuan contemted for a moment and decided to immediately begin the breakthrough.


    Meanwhile, in the Great Zen Temple, the abbot and the chief monk, Hui Wen, along with a few other leaders, were engaged in casual conversation.


    "Let me think. Hasn''t it been three or four years since Junior Brother Hui Zhen left the scripture repository?" The chief of the Vinaya Court spected and asked.


    Hui Zhen, also known as Lin Yuan, was addressed as a junior brother since he had taken the master Long Eyebrow Monk as his teacher. Lin Yuan''s seniority in the Great Zen Temple was equivalent to that of the chief of the abbot''s court.


    "Yes." The abbot of the Great Zen Temple nodded.


    Since Lin Yuan moved to the scripture repository five years ago, he only asionally stepped out during the first year. For the past four years, he hadn''t left the scripture repository at all.


    "People say that Junior Brother Hui Zhen cultivated innate energy at the age of three, an unprecedented martial arts prodigy. However, the dedication Junior Brother has shown in martial arts is beyond ordinary." The chief of the Menial Labor Courtmented.


    Others nodded in agreement.


    For four years, Lin Yuan hadn''t stepped out of the scripture repository, dedicating himself to martial arts scriptures. Such discipline and patience were rare even among high monks.


    "I wonder how Junior Brother Hui Zhen''s cultivation is going?" The third chief showed a hint of curiosity.


    Having entered the realm of innate energy after just watching the demonstration of the Luohan Fist, Lin Yuan had spent five years in the scripture repository. Everyone was curious about his current level.


    "With Junior Brother Hui Zhen''s talent, he might already be at the peak of the innate energy realm." The chief of the Vinaya Court spected.


    "Innate energy peak?" The abbot hesitated for a moment.


    In this world, martial arts were divided into postnatal, innate, master, and grandmaster realms. Although Lin Yuan, at the age of three, entered the innate realm, his foundation was inadequate due to his young age. It would likely take considerable time to catch up to the level of an average innate martial artist. The abbot estimated that, in five years, Lin Yuan might have justpensated for his deficiencies and reached the standard level of an average innate martial artist.


    "Perhaps." The abbot pondered for a while and nodded slightly.


    He didn''t believe that Hui Zhen had reached the peak of the innate realm afterpensating for his foundation. However, since Lin Yuan was Long Eyebrow Monk''s disciple, and they were of the same generation, the abbot refrained from making definitive statements.


    "You two old fellows have no confidence in Junior Brother Hui Zhen? Maybe he''s already a master."


    The chief of the Martial Monk Court nced toward the direction of the scripture repository, a smile appearing on his face.


    He was the first one to discover Lin Yuan''s martial talent.


    "Master," the chief of the Vinaya Court and the chief of the Menial Labor Court exchanged nces and shook their heads slightly.


    Even though they sensed a yful tone in the chief of the Martial Monk Court''s words, they didn''t echo his sentiment. After all, the title "Master" was significant, representing a rare few pirs in the martial world.


    "Alright, stop discussing Junior Brother Hui Zhen." The abbot of the Great Zen Temple felt that the conversation was bing more absurd and immediately intervened.


    However, at that very moment, a rumbling sound echoed in the air, apanied by invisible fluctuations rising into the sky, creating ripples that spread in all directions.


    "Is this spiritual power?"


    "Could it be the spiritual power of a grandmaster, a great grandmaster?"


    The abbot and the other leaders widened their eyes, feeling a sudden shock.


    When had a great grandmaster appeared in the world? Moreover, if such a grandmaster were to visit the Great Zen Temple, it would be an extraordinary event.


    "No, this spiritual power ising from the scripture repository!"


    "This is Junior Brother Hui Zhen''s aura!"


    The chief of the Vinaya Court seemed to have sensed something, his eyes widening.


    "Junior Brother Hui Zhen''s aura?"


    "Spiritual power? A great grandmaster?"


    The abbot and the chief of the Martial Monk Court opened their mouths, their faces expressing disbelief, as if they had encountered a ghost.


    Judging by the source and the characteristics of this spiritual power, they couldn''t help but entertain a wild idea.


    Could it be that Junior Brother Hui Zhen, who had spent five years in the scripture repository, had actually reached the realm of a great grandmaster?


    Realizing this possibility, a sense of absurdity overwhelmed them.


    Three years old entering the innate realm was one thing, but now, at the age of eight, a great grandmaster?


    Was he still human?!

 Chapter 6: Living Buddha

    Chapter 6: Living Buddha


    Innate and master were entirely different concepts.


    Especially when it came to a master who had already developed spiritual powers the most apparent sign being the ability to take shortcuts in reaching the innate realm.


    For instance, one could ingest certain spiritual medicines or receive exclusive teachings from a master. With the Great Zen Temple''s profound background, it could artificially produce several innate martial experts if it were willing to pay the price. However, such actions would be meaningless.


    For a martial arts powerhouse like the Great Zen Temple, having a few more innate martial experts wouldn''t fundamentally impact them. What truly mattered was the presence of masters and great grandmasters, as they had the power to influence the overall situation in the world.


    Regardless of breaking through to the innate realm or advancing to the level of master, external aids were of minimal use. Breaking through to the innate realm required perfect control over one''s power, such as swallowing specific natural treasures or receiving guidance from a master.


    For masters striving to be great grandmasters, they had to develop spiritual powers, a process fraught with danger that could lead to death.


    This was why the abbot and the other leaders, upon sensing the mysterious grandmaster who disyed spiritual powers, were shocked.


    In today''s world, a great grandmaster was a rare urrence, with thest known one being the founder of the Great Li Dynasty one hundred and eighty years ago.


    Considering the time psed, it wasn''t impossible for a new great grandmaster to emerge. However, it would likely be someone among the already renowned masters.


    As for Lin Yuan, an eight-year-old child, it was inconceivable for him to be a great grandmaster, capable of dominating the world. This concept was beyond their understanding and defied logic.


    On the back mountain of the Great Zen Temple, the venerable Long Eyebrows, who was in seclusion, was also disturbed by the spiritual fluctuations emanating from the scripture repository.


    "Spiritual power?"


    "Disciple Hui Zhen, has he stepped into the realm of a great grandmaster?"


    Long Eyebrows muttered to himself, his gaze nk.


    As a master of the Great Zen Temple, he had taught Lin Yuan for two months and was aware of his terrifying martial talent. In Long Eyebrows'' eyes, Lin Yuan bing a master was usible, and there was a significant possibility of him touching the realm of a great grandmaster in the future. However, he expected this to happen decadester.


    Now, merely five yearster, Lin Yuan had be a great grandmaster? Compared to the abbot and the leaders, Long Eyebrows'' shock was more profound. The abbot and the leaders were only at the peak of the innate realm, knowing the difficulties of breaking through to a great grandmaster butcking a concrete understanding.


    Long Eyebrows, on the other hand, was a master, just one step away from bing a great grandmaster. He could feel the insurmountable gap between a great grandmaster and a master every moment.


    Even with the breakthrough method left behind by Patriarch Damo, Long Eyebrows had no idea how to achieve the leap to bing a great grandmaster.


    In the scripture repository, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, suppressing the fluctuations of his spiritual power.


    "This spiritual power resembles the evolution path of ''Mental Masters'' in the universal human civilization."


    Lin Yuan spected in his mind.


    In the universe''s human civilization, evolutionaries weren''t a secret, and there were many well-known evolutionary paths. The Mental Masters, in particr, required special means to stimte the mind, enabling them to wield unimaginable powers.


    "Just a simrity, not an exact match."


    Lin Yuan pondered inwardly.


    The evolutionary path of Mental Masters in the universe primarily focused on illusions, whereas the spiritual powers of a grandmaster were purely martial, creating a sense of oppression surpassing that of Mental Masters.


    Furthermore, the physical bodies of Mental Masters in the universal human civilization were generally considered weak points, appearing somewhat fragile. In contrast, masters had already surpassed the pinnacle of an ordinary person''s physical capabilities and could perfectly control every strand of power within their bodies.


    Although Lin Yuan wasn''t aware of the specific merits and drawbacks of the Mental Master evolutionary path, he spected that, in terms ofbat power, grandmasters were likely superior.


    "In the universe''s human civilization, martial arts should be considered an entirely new evolutionary path."


    "If I can push martial arts to higher levels in this realm and present it to the Goddess of Wisdom for evaluation when I return, I should be able to obtain substantial rewards."


    Lin Yuan silently contemted.


    After learning about the forced conscription matter, Lin Yuan had inquired with the Goddess of Wisdom, realizing her profound interest in new evolutionary paths.


    "Are they all waiting outside?"


    Lin Yuan seemed to sense something, ncing towards the outside of the scripture repository.


    Breaking through to the realm of a great grandmaster and refining spiritual powers unavoidably led to the spread of the news. Thus, it was entirely normal for the abbot and the leaders to perceive it.


    Outside the scripture repository, Long Eyebrows, the abbot, the leaders, and others were waiting. If other monks were present, they would have noticed that the usually dignified abbot and leaders wore anxious expressions, akin to students waiting to meet their admired teacher.


    Restlessness.


    Expectation.


    "Come in, everyone."


    At that moment, a gentle voice resonated in their ears.


    "Yes."


    Upon receiving permission, the abbot, the leaders, and others breathed sighs of relief, following behind Long Eyebrows as they entered the scripture repository.


    "We greet you, venerable monk."


    On the third floor of the scripture repository, Long Eyebrows and the others finally saw Lin Yuan.


    They respectfully bowed.


    There was no other way. If Lin Yuan had reached the innate realm (prenatal realm) at the age of three, it could be exined as an extraordinary martial prodigy. However, entering the realm of a great grandmaster at the age of eight was inexplicable bymon sense.


    Only the legendary reincarnation of a true Buddha or a living Buddha could reconcile with everyone''s understanding.


    All, including Long Eyebrows, unhesitatingly addressed Lin Yuan as "venerable monk."


    "Venerable monk?"


    Lin Yuan smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying anything.


    He knew his own affairs, and he was definitely not a "venerable monk."


    However, as long as he didn''t reveal it, no one would know.


    Next, Lin Yuan chatted with the abbot, leaders, and others, taking the opportunity to share some insights he had asionally gained in the past few years. He exined his understanding of breaking through the innate realm to reach the master realm, providing guidance to those present.


    This direct guidance left the abbot, leaders, and others profoundly enlightened. As a grandmaster inheritance establishment, the Great Zen Temple naturally possessed precious legacies left by Patriarch Bodhidharma and sessive masters on how to break through to the master realm.


    However, even the annotations left by Patriarch Bodhidharma were often not fully understood by the abbot, leaders, and others. Achieving certain feats did not necessarily mean oneprehended all the underlying principles and essence of those feats.


    While it was known that breaking through to be a master required perfect control over every strand of one''s power, the details of how to achieve such perfect control were rarely exined, let alone how to actually do it. Lin Yuan, leveraging his extraordinary insight, meticulously replicated the process of breaking through the innate realm to the master realm, providing specific methods and means.


    This revtion brought tears to the eyes of the abbot, leaders, and others.


    Through Lin Yuan''s guidance, they at least saw hope in breaking through to be masters. If they could cultivate and refine their skills for a decade or two, perhaps they might step into the realm of masters.


    In just a few sentences, Lin Yuan, like a beacon of wisdom, illuminated the future of the Great Zen Temple for decades toe, cultivating several potential masters. Such an abilityonly a "venerable monk" like Lin Yuan could achieve it.


    It could be said that if anyone dared to question Lin Yuan''s "venerable monk" identity now, the abbot and leaders of the Great Zen Temple would be the first to object.

 Chapter 7: Join the world

    Chapter 7: Join the world


    "As for you, Master," Lin Yuan looked towards the long-eyebrowed old monk standing beside him.


    Even though Lin Yuan had received guidance from the long-eyebrowed old monk for only two months, the fact that Lin Yuan could smoothly move into the Scripture Pavilion was also due to the old monk''s approval.


    "In the realm of grandmasters, emphasis is ced on the spiritual aspect, and external forces are difficult to interfere with.


    A few years ago, I studied the martial arts scripture ''Yijin Washing Marrow, Forging Body, Changing Blood, and Tempering Divine Skill'' in the Scripture Pavilion and gained insights into another martial art. It should be beneficial for stepping into the realm of grandmasters," Lin Yuan exined.


    The martial art he referred to was none other than the ''Muscle and Bone Cleansing, Body Forging, Blood Exchange, and Spirit Refinement Technique'' This martial art not only nourished the physical body but also tempered the spirit. Breaking through from the master realm to the realm of a grandmaster essentially involved developing spiritual power.


    The purer the spiritual power, the easier it was to perceive and condense it into spiritual abilities. Practicing this martial art to perfection would significantly increase the chances of reaching the grandmaster realm from the master peak realm, possibly up to thirty percent.


    "No need to expend effort on me, the path to grandmaster requires an epiphany," the long-eyebrowed old monk immediately responded.


    Before Lin Yuan, it wasmon knowledge among martial experts that reaching the realm of grandmasters couldn''t be forcefully pursued.


    Even powerful grandmasters found it nearly impossible to cultivate another grandmaster. A thousand years ago, Patriarch Bodhidharma, the founder of the Great Zen Temple and a grandmaster himself, took in 108 Buddhist monks as disciples when establishing the temple.


    However, none of these monks managed to step into the realm of grandmasters.


    "No worries, just listen," Lin Yuan said, gradually exining the ''Muscle and Bone Cleansing, Body Forging, Blood Exchange, and Spirit Refinement Technique''.


    Initially, the long-eyebrowed old monk remained calm, thinking that Lin Yuan''s teachings would be simr to the insights left by Patriarch Bodhidharma.


    However, as Lin Yuan progressed, revealing only one-fifth of the skill, the old monk''s brows furrowed, and his thoughts surged.


    "This..." The long-eyebrowed old monk''s heart raced. As a grandmaster, he had basic discernment skills. Even after hearing only half, he realized the tremendous value of the martial art Lin Yuan was imparting. It was a martial art that tempered the spirit.


    While martial arts involving the spirit existed, the Great Zen Temple''s Scripture Pavilion already contained several spiritual martial arts left by Patriarch Bodhidharma.


    However, these were reserved for grandmasters who had condensed spiritual abilities.


    The ''Muscle and Bone Cleansing, Body Forging, Blood Exchange, and Spirit Refinement Technique'' that Lin Yuan hadprehended could be practiced even by innate realm martial artists.


    This was truly inconceivable, leaving the long-eyebrowed old monk momentarily speechless.


    After a short while, Lin Yuan finished speaking and looked at the stunned long-eyebrowed old monk. The abbot, leaders, and others beside him listened as well, but they didn''t immediately realize the value of this martial art.


    They only found Lin Yuan''s exnation of the martial art obscure and difficult toprehend, something that required gradual insight.


    "Alright. You can all leave now," Lin Yuan lowered his gaze and waved his hand.


    "Yes," the long-eyebrowed old monk, who had snapped out of his daze, suppressed the excitement within him, and respectfully replied.


    After the long-eyebrowed old monk and the others left, the Scripture Pavilion fell silent once again. Lin Yuan walked to the third floor and picked up an ancient book. The cover of the book prominently disyed the four characters ''Fumo Zhi Jing'' ().


    "Fumo Zhi Jing," rted to intelligence and spirit, was undoubtedly a spiritual martial art. It was one of the martial arts left behind by Patriarch Bodhidharma a thousand years ago.


    Before breaking through to the realm of Grandmaster, Lin Yuan had not mastered spiritual abilities, despite his extraordinary perceptiveness. He had not delved much into such spiritual martial arts.


    Now, as a Grandmaster, he naturally began toprehend this aspect.


    More than half a month passed swiftly. During this time, Lin Yuan had been studying the ''Fumo Zhi Jing.''


    [You, with extraordinary perceptiveness,prehend the spiritual martial art ''Fumo Zhi Jing'' and gain insights into the spiritual extraordinary skill ''Heaven and Earth Changing Technique.]


    Lin Yuan was pleased. Within the Niwan Pce on his forehead, strands of spiritual abilities continued to intertwine, forming a mysterious pattern that was imprinted on it.


    "Heaven and Earth Changing Technique."


    "Spiritual extraordinary skill."


    Lin Yuan had a feeling that once he activated the pattern condensed with spiritual abilities within the Niwan Pce, it would release a spiritual domain.


    Within the range of this domain, even other Grandmasters would have their mental will suppressed, experiencing the pain of confusion and loss.


    "No reason." Lin Yuan shook his head, feeling somewhat emotional. With just this spiritual extraordinary skill, he was confident in bing invincible within the Grandmaster realm.


    Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, five years went by.


    Inside the Scripture Pavilion, a mysterious aura diffused and spread, but all stopped at the entrance.


    "Above the Grandmaster realm."


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes, and a faint white lightning shed across the void.


    The void generated electricity. This was an external manifestation of an extraordinarily powerful spirit.


    The spiritual power of a Grandmaster could kill, but it couldn''t shake material rules. For example, lifting a stone with spiritual power alone was an impossibility, a rule unbroken throughout history. However, Lin Yuan had now broken this rule.


    Due to Lin Yuan''s realm, which had surpassed that of a Grandmaster, he had reached an unprecedented state in this realm. With his extraordinary perceptiveness, Lin Yuan had taken only five years to traverse the realms of Postnatal, Prenatal, master, and achieving the status of a Grandmaster.


    Now, after another five years had passed, breaking the constraints of the Grandmaster, achieving an aplishment that no one before him had achieved was no longer a rare urrence.


    "Above Grandmaster, let''s call it the Mythical Realm." Lin Yuan thought to himself. The level beyond Grandmaster was a legend, a myth. Therefore, naming it ''Mythical'' seemed quite fitting.


    "There are still ten years of residence time." "I should go out and take a look."


    Lin Yuan calmed his breath, looking up at the Great Zen Temple outside. After entering the Mythical Realm, the umted heritage of the Great Zen Temple over the past thousand years had been mostly digested and absorbed by Lin Yuan.


    Next, if Lin Yuan wanted to maintain the previous ten years of cultivation speed, he needed to travel the world, exploring various martial arts secrets.


    After all, the Great Zen Temple was only one of the major martial arts schools. Apart from the Great Zen Temple, there were still other major martial arts schools, and even the rule of the Great Li Dynasty overlooked them.


    By witnessing martial arts different from those of the Great Zen Temple and refining his extraordinary perceptiveness to the extreme, Lin Yuan could more easilyprehend the paths and realms ahead.


    Outside the Bodhi Courtyard, the Grand Zen Temple''s Abbot Hui Yuan and several senior monks gathered once again.


    "I can already sense the bottleneck of the master realm."


    "Quickly, within ten years or at most twenty years, you will be able to break through to the master realm."


    Abbot Hui Yuan''s voice was filled with excitement. Under normal circumstances, with his aptitude, the possibility of him entering the master realm was not significant. However, a few years ago, under Lin Yuan''s guidance, he saw a glimmer of hope.


    The other senior monks were simrly excited. Lin Yuan''s guidance had benefited them greatly. Although they didn''t have the certainty of breaking through to the master realm within twenty years like the Abbot, achieving it in thirty or forty years was still quite hopeful.


    In this world, reaching the pinnacle of the innate realm (prenatal realm) as a martial artist and living over a hundred years was not a difficult task. The senior monks were mostly in their sixties or seventies, and they had the ability to make a final attempt at breaking through.


    Just then, a martial monk hurriedly entered.


    "Abbot, senior monks, n-no, something bad has happened."


    The martial monk seemed a bit anxious and stuttered. Clearly, the news he brought was urgent.


    "Take your time, don''t rush," Abbot Hui Yuanforted.


    "Venerable, Venerable!"


    The martial monk took a deep breath, about to speak.


    "What happened to Venerable?" Abbot Hui Yuan stood up abruptly, staring at the martial monk.


    The other senior monks also showed solemn expressions. In their eyes, Venerable was the hope of the Great Zen Temple for the next five hundred years. Anything rted to Venerable was a significant matter for the temple.


    "Venerable."


    The martial monk quickly said, "Venerable has left the mountain."


    "What?" "Venerable has left the mountain?"


    Abbot Hui Yuan was momentarily stunned, quickly asking, "Did Venerable say anything about why he left the mountain?"


    "Yes, Venerable did. He said he was going down the mountain, to see the world."


    "What?" "Venerable said that?" Abbot Hui Yuan was taken aback, asking urgently, "Did Venerable mention anything specific about his purpose for going down the mountain?"


    "He said... he said, ''to take a look at this world.''"


    The martial monk tried to mimic Lin Yuan''s tone as much as possible.


    ...


    Well.. if you are still reading then I suppose the novel is good?

 Chapter 8

    Chapter 8


    "Venerable has entered the secr world?"


    Martial Monk Yuan Hui immediately realized the situation. It wasn''t unusual for monks from the Great Zen Temple to descend the mountain and travel the world. Abbot Hui Yuan and other senior monks had experienced it multiple times themselves.


    For high-ranking monks, descending the mountain into the secr world was a form of spiritual cultivation. However, they overlooked the fact that Lin Yuan had never left the mountain during the years he spent in the temple.


    "Will Venerable encounter any danger by going down alone?"


    The Chief of the Discipline Court seemed to be concerned, but he stopped himself beforepleting the sentence. Abbot Hui Yuan and others rolled their eyes.


    What a joke.


    Danger?


    They might not know Lin Yuan''s current state, but five years ago, he had already reached the Grandmaster realm. Even if he stayed in one ce, he would still be a Grandmaster. With the strength of a Grandmaster, even if tens of thousands of soldiers surrounded him, given some time, he could eliminate them all or escape unscathed.


    "Never mind. Venerable''s image has been distributed to various temples across the country."


    "All our monks in different regions will follow Venerable''s orders."


    Abbot Hui Yuan spoke calmly. The Great Zen Temple, as a sacred ce for Buddhism and a dominant force in martial arts, had profound influence and potential power. Even among the other major martial arts sects, it was second to none.


    Outside the Great Zen Temple,


    Under the vast sky,


    A young monk in gray robes walked on a narrow mountain path.


    Observant eyes would notice that with every step he took, his figure appeared several meters away, a phenomenon both mysterious and divine.


    This young monk was Lin Yuan.


    After leaving the Great Zen Temple, Lin Yuan covered a distance of 1,200 miles in just two hours.


    Compared to the Grandmaster realm,


    The internal energy in the body of a Mythical realm martial artist had evolved into a higher level of energy, which Lin Yuan temporarily referred to as ''Elemental Power.''


    A strand of Elemental Power could overpower ten strands of internal energy at the Grandmaster level. However, in actualbat, it was a different story.


    ording to Lin Yuan''s estimate, his truebat strength had reached an unprecedented level. Even if all the Grandmaster-level martial artists in history were resurrected, he could defeat them with a single p.


    "Hahaha."


    "Exhrating, truly exhrating."


    With each step, Lin Yuan''s blood surged, and Elemental Power circted within him like a burning furnace.


    The formidable heat spread in all directions, resembling a raging fire.


    Suddenly,


    Lin Yuan stopped in his tracks.


    A gentle breeze brushed across his face.


    Lin Yuan stood there momentarily, as if time had stopped.


    Days passed by, and finally,


    [You, with extraordinaryprehension, having read countless scriptures, feeling the breeze, listening to the profound principles of the wind, have realized the true martial art ''Divine Wind Nine Steps''.]


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes, and countless insights erupted in his mind, forming a genuine martial art.


    A genuine martial art surpassed the martial arts of Grandmasters and required Mythical realm warriors to spend a considerable amount of time and energy to create.


    This time, with the help of his extraordinaryprehension and the rxation of his mind outside the temple, Lin Yuan had created this martial art.


    "Divine Wind Nine Steps."


    Lin Yuan carefullyprehended this martial art, which belonged to the category of body techniques. It utilized ''Elemental Power'' within the body to connect with the forces of heaven and earth. After nine steps, it allowed the practitioner to integrate as much as possible with the wind.


    Further achieving a significant increase in his speed.


    "Terrifying."


    Lin Yuan felt quite emotional. At his level, every aspect had already reached its peak. Even a slight improvement was extremely challenging, let alone a direct surge in speed.


    "True martial arts are already harnessing the power of heaven and earth. Does the path ahead also rte to the heavens and the earth?"


    Lin Yuan remained standing in the same spot, looking thoughtful.


    Pudu Temple,


    This temple was built three hundred years ago by a high monk from the Great Zen Temple during his travels. It had maintained a close connection with the Great Zen Temple for centuries.


    "Why is Venerable going to Mingyue Pce? What is the purpose?"


    The abbot of Pudu Temple asked cautiously.


    Sitting in front of him was the young monk, Lin Yuan.


    The main purpose of Lin Yuan leaving the Great Zen Temple this time was to observe the profound martial arts of various major sects. Among them, those on par with the Great Zen Temple, as major martial arts powers, were his primary choices.


    Most major martial arts powers were founded by Grandmasters, and they had produced many masters over the generations. Mingyue Pce was one such martial arts power.


    "I wish to observe the various martial arts of Mingyue Pce."


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, calmly stating his intention.


    While passing by Pudu Temple on his way to Mingyue Pce, Lin Yuan had stopped there for a brief rest.


    Even with the power of Mythical realm, he was still a human and couldn''t ignore fatigue like a machine.


    Due to the deep connection between Pudu Temple and the Great Zen Temple, the abbot recognized Lin Yuan and personally attended to him.


    The abbot of Pudu Temple hesitated.


    "Not hiding anything, Venerable, about half a year ago, the master of Mingyue Pce passed away without leaving a sessor. There was internal turmoil in Mingyue Pce, and many martial arts scriptures are likely missing."


    The abbot of Pudu Temple spoke in a low voice.


    Although Mingyue Pce had tried to suppress this matter, Pudu Temple had learned about it through special channels.


    "Really?"


    Lin Yuan''s brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this information.


    "If Venerable wishes to view the martial arts scriptures of Mingyue Pce, you can go to the capital of Dali Kingdom."


    "Back then, the founder of Dali Kingdom, Emperor Ma, traveled the world, visited Mingyue Pce, and copied all their martial arts scriptures before bringing them back."


    The abbot paused for a moment and subtly mentioned another matter.


    At that time, it wasn''t just Mingyue Pce; other martial arts powers, including the Great Zen Temple, were visited by Emperor Ma of Dali Kingdom. Numerous martial arts scriptures were copied and taken away.


    Emperor Ma, as a Grandmaster, was invincible in his time, and no martial arts power dared to refuse. They could only endure this loss.


    "Oh?"


    Lin Yuan''s eyes lit up slightly.


    He hadn''t read about this event in the records of the Great Zen Temple. However, upon further thought, it made sense. Taking away all martial arts scriptures forcefully was not a glorious event.


    Even if the person doing it was Emperor Ma, a Grandmaster, the Great Zen Temple would not publicize such an incident.


    "Are you saying that in the capital of Dali, there are martial arts scriptures from all major martial arts powers of that time?"


    Lin Yuan asked.


    "Back then, Emperor Ma of Dali wanted to make further progress, so he gathered martial arts from all over the world. Any influential martial arts force with a known name had to submit their martial arts techniques, without exception."


    The abbot of Pudu Temple truthfully exined.


    "That''s quite convenient."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    Originally, if Lin Yuan wanted to observe the martial arts of various sects, he would have to visit them one by one, as martial arts powers were spread all over the world.


    He would have wasted a lot of time visiting them one by one.


    Now, it was much simpler. He could directly go to the capital of Dali Kingdom.

 Chapter 9

    Chapter 9


    Capital of Dali.


    Linglong Pavilion.


    As thergest restaurant in the capital, Linglong Pavilion was packed with people every day. Whether they were visitors from out of town or locals, anyone with the opportunity wouldn''t miss the chance to taste the dishes at Linglong Pavilion.


    Snap!


    In the central part of the restaurant, on a constructed tform, a storyteller was energetically narrating a "story."


    "Ten years ago, in the sacrednd of Buddhism, the Great Zen Temple, a Buddhist disciple was born. This disciple was born with knowledge, possessing the appearance of various Buddhas."


    "It is said that at that time, the sky above the Great Zen Temple revealed the golden body of Buddha, with golden light covering an area of tens of miles. Many people, bathed in this golden light, had their hidden illnesses cured."


    "Now, after ten years, that Buddhist disciple..."


    The storyteller paused abruptly, arching his hand, "Ladies and gentlemen, today''s story ends here. If you want to know how this young Buddhist disciple is doing now, pleasee back tomorrow."


    As these words were spoken, a sigh spread among the audience. They were captivated by the tale and wanted to know more about the young Buddhist disciple. However, the storyteller chose to leave them in suspense.


    "This is for you to continue," a burly man said, throwing a silver ingot onto the tform. Other onlookers also tossed various coins and valuables.


    "Hehe, thanks to everyone for the appreciation. I will continue right away," the storyteller said with a grin, collecting the rewards before resuming his narrative.


    "Considering his age, that Buddhist disciple should be in his teens now, undoubtedly studying Buddhist scriptures and delving into the Buddha''s teachings."


    As the storyteller borated on the disciple''s mundane activities, the audience began to lose interest. Yet, what they didn''t notice was a young monk in gray robes seated in a corner, wearing a peculiar expression.


    "Am I written into these stories?" Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. He wasn''t surprised. Being a disciple of the Great Zen Temple, a ce of great influence, his every move naturally attracted attention. Additionally, with the openness of the abbot and the masters, various rumors and versions of stories circted.


    Having sampled the delicacies of this world at Linglong Pavilion, Lin Yuan left the establishment. The streets, paved with bluestones, bustled with people and echoed with the shouts of merchants.


    As Lin Yuan walked further into the city, the number of pedestrians decreased, but the presence of patrolling soldiers increased.


    Until he reached a towering city gate, dozens of soldiers with formidable auras guarded the entrance.


    Behind the gatey the Great Departure Pce, the absolute core of the dynasty, and even standing outside, glimpses of the magnificent pce buildings were visible.


    At that moment, a carriage slowly emerged from the pce.


    Seeing this, the soldiers immediately stepped back, creating a path.


    Inside the carriage, a middle-aged monk wearing a crimson kasaya was massaging his brow.


    The current Empress of Dali held Buddhism in high regard, frequently inviting esteemed monks to the pce. The middle-aged monk in the crimson kasaya had gained significant prominence in recent years, earning the favor of the Empress.


    Every ten days or so, he would be invited into the pce.


    "The Empress''s inquiries have be increasingly intricatetely," the middle-aged monk furrowed his brows, feeling a bit annoyed. "It''s time to leave the pce now."


    The middle-aged monk reached out and lifted the curtain of the carriage. ncing around casually, he noticed a young monk not far away. However, just this casual nce made his pupils contract.


    "That is..."


    The middle-aged monk stared at the young monk nearby, his expression filled with uncertainty. "Buddhist disciple?"


    Coming from the Great Zen Temple, the middle-aged monk had stayed in the capital for over a decade. Although he didn''t actively participate in the temple''s affairs, he kept regr contact with them. A few years ago, the Great Zen Temple sent a portrait of a Buddhist disciple, instructing him to remember andply if he ever encountered the depicted person.


    As the middle-aged monk examined the young monk, he was astonished to find that the features of the young monk were nearly identical to the portrait.


    "Disciple of the Great Zen Temple?" the middle-aged monk inquired tentatively.


    "Do you know me?" Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.


    "Twenty years ago, I was also a monk of the Great Zen Temple," the middle-aged monk said, revealing his identity with just one sentence.


    "I see," Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    The influence of the Great Zen Temple extended beyond Mount Shaoshi, where it was situated. The previous visit to Pudu Temple and the presence of this middle-aged monk were indicative of this.


    "I wonder if the Buddhist disciple has any specific business in the capital?" The middle-aged monk curiously asked. Before meeting Lin Yuan, he hadn''t received any information from the Great Zen Temple. It seemed that Lin Yuan''s arrival in the capital was not known to the abbot or the masters.


    "I wish to enter the martial arts hall in the imperial pce for observation," Lin Yuan spoke.


    The martial arts hall in the Great Departure Pce stored countless martial arts secrets from all over the world. When the Great Li Dynasty''s founder, Emperor Ma, unified the world, he collected martial arts from various sects, and all these records were stored in the martial arts hall.


    "Entering the martial arts hall might be a bit troublesome," the middle-aged monk said, furrowing his brow. Generally, only members of the imperial family or those who had made significant contributions to Dali had the qualifications to enter the martial arts hall. This was a rule set by Emperor Ma.


    "Wanting to enter the hall is indeed a bit tricky."


    The middle-aged monk exined, "Typically, only the royal family members and those who have made significant contributions to Dali have the qualifications to enter the martial arts hall. It''s a rule established by Emperor Ma."


    "However, there might be a way."


    The middle-aged monk spoke slowly:


    "Within the pce, security is extremely tight, and infiltrating it is definitely impossible," the middle-aged monk''s face revealed a hint of anxiety. As an honored guest of the Empress, he had some understanding of the Imperial Pce of Dali.


    The eight thousand Forbidden Army members within the pce were all trained using secret methods to reach the pinnacle of postnatal realm. The two hundred deputymanders were prenatal realm martial artists, while the eighteen grandmanders were peak innate peak realm experts. In essence, this force alone was enough to easily sweep away tens of thousands of troops, and even a master would be trapped if they entered.


    Moreover, the middle-aged monk asionally heard from the Empress that there were martial arts masters stationed at various points in the pce.


    Over the years, the middle-aged monk, having frequently visited the pce, spected that there were at least four martial arts masters within the pce.


    Four masters.


    Eighteen peak innate experts.


    Two hundred innate realm experts.


    Eight thousand postnatal realm peak experts.


    This was the Great Dali Dynasty''s strongest hand. Even if the world fell into chaos now, the Great Dali Dynasty could easily regain control. Furthermore, beyond this, there were armies stationed at the borders and martial arts masters ready to be mobilized.


    "Buddhist disciple."


    "Listen to me."


    "Later, follow me into the pce, and meet the Empress."


    "I will introduce you, and the Empress will certainly take notice of the Buddhist disciple."


    "For the next three months, you should visit the Empress frequently, be familiar with her."


    "After that, on the Emperor''s sixtieth birthday, when the Empress appears, I will take you to congratte the Emperor."


    "At that time, I will present a precious Buddhist artifact."


    "With the Emperor pleased, there will be a good chance for the Buddhist disciple to enter the martial arts hall."


    The middle-aged monk, after careful consideration, presented the only feasible method at the moment. In theory, it was impossible for outsiders to enter the martial arts hall. However, if the current Emperor Dali permitted it, then it was a matter of whether Lin Yuan could please the Emperor. After all, Lin Yuan was just going in to take a look, and it wouldn''t cause any loss to the numerous martial arts scriptures inside.


    "I wonder what the Buddhist disciple thinks."


    The middle-aged monk spoke all in one breath.


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    The middle-aged monk had indeed thought carefully. ording to his n, there was a high probability of Lin Yuan sessfully entering the martial arts hall.


    "It''s just."


    Lin Yuan shook his head again.


    "Just what?"


    The middle-aged monk asked anxiously.


    "It''s too troublesome."


    Lin Yuan gazed calmly towards the distant imperial pce.


    "Troublesome?"


    The middle-aged monk took a while to react. The n he just devised was already as concise as possible. Directly taking Lin Yuan to see the Empress and leveraging her influence over the Emperor was the fastest way to enter the martial arts hall.


    However, it wasn''t possible to directly meet the Emperor. Without enough weighty figures to rmend him, even the middle-aged monk wouldn''t be able to meet the Emperor, let alone Lin Yuan.


    "Just say it straightforwardly."


    Lin Yuan finished speaking, took a step forward, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly in the direction of the imperial pce.


    "I am Hui Zhen, a humble monk, and I wish to enter the martial arts hall of the imperial pce for observation."


    His voice was normal at the first word ''humble,'' but starting from the second word, the pitch began to rise. By the fifth word, the terrifying sound waves spread in all directions. When thest word ''observation'' was spoken, it was as if the heavens were copsing and the earth was shattering, echoing like thunder.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!!!


    At that moment, the entire imperial pce was enveloped by the terrifying sound waves.


    The eight thousand postnatal peak Forbidden Army soldiers felt a deafening roar, and their consciousness dissipated. The eighteen peak innate grandmanders were bleeding from all seven orifices, kneeling on the ground unable to rise.


    Deep within the imperial pce, the auras of five martial arts masters shed and disappeared. They attempted to resist the Buddhist sounds entering their ears, but they could only persist for a few breaths before their auras rapidly weakened, losing any resistance.


    For a moment, the once well-guarded Imperial Pce became disorganized, crumbling into a pile of loose sand.


    "What is this?"


    The middle-aged monk''s mouth gaped open.

 Chapter 10

    Chapter 10


    Imperial Pce of Dali.


    Taiji Hall.


    A dignified man in dragon robes sat at a sandalwood table. Opposite him was a slender old man.


    "With your current strength, there should be no opponents in the world, right, Uncle Ancestor?" The dignified man was the current Emperor of Great Dali, and the slender old man sitting across from him was the ancestral elder of the Imperial Family, also the strongest, a martial arts master at the peak of the master realm.


    "If not at the grandmaster level, what''s the point of talking about having no opponents?" The slender old man shook his head, his tone without a hint of humility. Even among masters, there were differences in strength, and the slender old man undoubtedly stood at the pinnacle of the master realm.


    In terms of inheritance, the martial arts legacies of the other major martial arts sects were also grandmaster-level inheritances.


    However, the grandmaster legacy left by the Great Dynasty''s grandmaster patriarch, too, had the greatest influence. After all, the patriarch had been alive just over a hundred years ago, and his reputation still held strong.


    The numerous martial arts secrets left behind were not only stronger than the legacies of other grandmasters, but they were also moreplete and perfect. Not to mention that the grandmaster patriarch personally visited other martial arts sects and transcribed all their martial arts, bringing them back.


    Pooling the martial arts of the world, the foundation of the Great Dynasty far exceeded that of other martial arts sects.


    "Master, Uncle Ancestor is just one step away from the grandmaster level, right?" The Emperor of Great Dali asked in a somewhat mysterious tone.


    "One step away, but it''s a world of difference" the slender old man sighed. The closer he got to the grandmaster level, the more he felt the despair and helplessness. This was based on the breakthrough insights left by the grandmaster patriarch.


    Even with these insights, the slender old man didn''t dare to think about reaching the grandmaster realm without any confidence in himself.


    "But Your Majesty, rest assured. In this world today, if I can''t break through to the grandmaster level, other masters won''t be able to either." The slender old man spoke with great confidence.


    Just as the Emperor of Great Dali was about to say something, terrifying sound waves descended, filling every inch of the air.


    "I am Hui Zhen, a humble monk, and I wish to enter the martial arts hall of the imperial pce for observation."


    "I am Hui Zhen, a humble monk, and I wish to enter the martial arts hall of the imperial pce for observation."


    "I am Hui Zhen, a humble monk, and I wish to enter the martial arts hall of the imperial pce for observation."


    The demonic sound infiltrated their ears, and the Emperor of Great Dali felt his eardrums trembling, with his vision starting to blur.


    Compared to the Emperor of Great Dali, the nearby slender old man, who was already at the peak of the master realm, suffered even more miserably. The more powerful one''s strength, the more sensitive to the sound waves, and the heavier the suppression.


    "Ah, what kind of sonic skill is this?" The slender old man couldn''t believe it. Just by sound, from an unknown distance, it made a master realm martial artist like himself lose the ability to resist.


    Who could it be? Could it be a grandmaster? Even grandmasters as powerful as the grandmaster patriarch of the Great Dali Dynasty couldn''t achieve such a level, right?


    Outside the imperial pce.


    Lin Yuan''s gaze remained calm. Just now, he had used the Lion''s Roar, a top-notch martial art of the Great Zen Temple, a sound-based martial art capable of terrifying and intimidating effects, causing people to feel frightened and disoriented.


    However, this martial art was ineffective against postnatal peak individuals, as sound waves were less effectivepared to physical attacks. But Lin Yuan''s current strength was overwhelming, surpassing the mythical realm of grandmasters. With a single roar, even grandmasters would find it challenging to resist.


    Of course, Lin Yuan didn''t intend to cause permanent harm. Under the overwhelming sound waves of the Lion''s Roar, those below the postnatal peak only felt their eardrums vibrating but suffered no other injuries.


    As for those at the postnatal peak, innate peak, and master realm, the impact was heavier, but a month or two of recuperation would be enough. It wouldn''t cause irreversible damage.


    In the past, the grandmaster patriarch of the Great Dali Dynasty had forced the Great Zen Temple''s monks to surrender their ultimate skills through absolute force. Now, Lin Yuan, outside the imperial pce, had turned the tables with a roar, making the imperial pce forces copse. It could be considered settling an old score.


    "Buddhist disciple, this, this, this."


    The middle-aged monk standing beside him was nowpletely nk in his mind. Just moments ago, he was wondering why the monk found it troublesome and what he meant by "just say it directly." Now, witnessing the incredible scene before him, he understood.


    "You see, I estimate we can go in shortly," Lin Yuan casually remarked, ncing back at the middle-aged monk.


    "..."


    The middle-aged monk was still immersed in shock. Although he didn''t know what had happened inside the imperial pce, the chaotic auras that emanated just now, even the aura of the masters, had fallen.


    The middle-aged monk had a feeling that the defensive strength of the pce had reached its all-time low, and a mere group of postnatal martial artists could probably massacre them easily. Given the achievement of Lin Yuan''s previous "roar," the monk had no doubt about Lin Yuan''s statement that they would likely get in soon.


    After a while, under the middle-aged monk''s gaze, a dignified man in dragon robes and a slender old man walked out quickly. There were several figures following behind them. Although their auras were weak, their imposing presence during movement was far beyond what postnatal martial artists couldpare to.


    The Emperor of Great Dali emerged from the pce and soon noticed Lin Yuan, who stood there in a gray monk''s robe.


    "I have seen the Grandmaster" the Emperor of Great Dali said with a bitter heart, immediately bowing.


    After the terror of sound waves in the Taiji Hall, the impact on the Emperor of Great Dali was not significant, and he quickly recovered.


    The first thought that came to his mind was to escape. However, the slender old man beside him intercepted him. Being a master pinnacle realm expert, the slender old man was well aware that the strength behind the terrifying sound waves was beyondparison, at least something that surpassed the Great Dali Patriarch over a hundred years ago.


    Faced with such a powerful being, how could one escape? And where would they go?


    Moreover, after observing the injuries suffered by the Emperor of Great Dali, the slender old man deduced that Lin Yuan might not have any malicious intent towards the Great Dali Imperial Family. Otherwise, with the terrifying sound waves, even a pinnacle master like himself would be severely injured.


    In fact, facing such a powerful figure, how could one escape? And where could they go?


    Instead, following the suggestion of the slender old man, the Emperor of Great Dali summoned up the courage to walk towards the source of the sound waves and reached the outside of the imperial pce.


    "I am Hui Zhen, a humble monk, and I wish to enter the martial arts hall of the imperial pce for observation," Lin Yuan said, addressing the disheveled Emperor of Great Dali.


    "This matter is simple. Grandmaster, pleasee in," the Emperor said, exhaling in relief. Simultaneously, he felt somewhat wronged. Why didn''t the monk just say he wanted to enter the martial arts hall? Why make such a big disturbance?


    Lin Yuan opened his mouth, but his gaze remained calm as he observed the situation.

 Chapter 11

    Chapter 11


    Time passed by.


    In a blink of an eye, half a year had gone.


    During this period, Lin Yuan''s feat of subduing the imperial pce with a single roar spread like a hurricane throughout the world. Although themotion within the pce was kept hushed by the pce guards and maids, the martial experts outside the pce couldn''t turn a blind eye or a deaf ear to it.


    Even the middle-aged monk could sense the changes in the pce''s aura.


    Naturally, other martial experts could as well.


    Moreover, with the Emperor of Great Dali voluntarily stepping out of the pce, bowing to Lin Yuan, many witnessed the scene. Connecting the dots, it was easy for people to specte on the general truth the imperial pce of the Great Dali Dynasty had been prated by a mysterious monk.


    Even the reigning emperor had to bow down and admit his mistake.


    Although the Great Dali Dynasty wanted to downy the incident, it was impossible. The news had already spread, and the people were eager to discuss it. For nearly two centuries, the Great DaliDynasty had ruled the world, suppressing all martial experts due to their founding ancestor''s overwhelming strength.


    Now, witnessing the dynasty''s setback and even the current emperor bowing his head in apology, everyone was delighted.


    After discussing the fate of the Great DaliDynasty, the attention of the people immediately shifted to the mysterious monk from the Buddhist sect.


    Was the Great DaliDynasty weak?


    Certainly not.


    In fact, it was terrifyingly strong.


    Even with the passing of the great grandmaster founder over a hundred years ago, the dynasty''s power still dominated the world.


    However, the fact that the pce was prated by a mysterious monk meant something ominous. Upon careful consideration, people felt a chill down their spines.


    Undoubtedly, the strength of that mysterious monk had reached the level of a grandmaster.


    Inside the martial hall of the Great DaliImperial Pce, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged with a calm expression. Since entering half a year ago, he had not left the premises.


    The Emperor of Great Dalihad the insight to dere the martial hall a restricted area, forbidding anyone from disturbing Lin Yuan. The daily meals were meticulously prepared by the royal chefs, not only replenishing his energy but also crafted with exquisite taste.


    However, Lin Yuan sighed lightly in his heart, "Not enough, these martial arts are still far from enough."


    In just half a year, Lin Yuan hadprehended and understood numerous martial arts within the martial hall of the Great DaliImperial Pce. It wasn''t that the martial arts within the hall were inferior to those in the Buddhist temple''s scriptures. In fact, the collection of martial arts in the pce surpassed that of the temple.


    But the circumstances had changed.


    Now, Lin Yuan was at an unprecedented mythical realm. In this superior state, the efficiency of his enlightenment naturally far surpassed the grandmaster realm.


    However, despite grasping all the martial arts within the hall,bined with his transcendent enlightenment and elevated understanding, Lin Yuan had yet to break through the mythical realm.


    "All martial arts in the world, those that are recorded and passed down are only a few. More martial arts are dispersed among every martial practitioner in the world," Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart.


    These martial arts might not reach the level of superior martial arts, but they excel in their unique perspectives. They are even fundamentally different from the current martial arts training system. If Lin Yuan canprehend martial arts from different angles, it should be helpful for him to break through the mythical realm.


    "Come in," Lin Yuan said as he looked towards the entrance of the martial hall.


    "Yes," the slender old man immediately walked over respectfully.


    As the highest-ranking and strongest ancestor of the Great DaliRoyal Family, the slender old man shouldn''t have been stationed outside the martial hall personally, waiting for Lin Yuan''s orders. However, ever since Lin Yuan casually gave him guidance shortly after entering the hall, the slender old man had stayed put.


    That casual guidance made the slender old man realize that even if he cultivated diligently for ten, twenty, or fifty years, it wouldn''tpare to a single sentence from Lin Yuan.


    "I n to host a martial arts convention for the whole world, right here in the capital. Any postnatal or prenatal martial artist can participate. The top ten participants can choose any three superior martial arts," Lin Yuan announced.


    With his extraordinaryprehension ability, Lin Yuan didn''t need to learn martial arts conventionally. He could simply watch others demonstrate their techniques and gain insights. Over a decade ago, watching the monks of the Great Zen Temple practicing the Arhat Fist allowed him toprehend the superior martial art, Arhat Buddha Fist.


    Having martial artists reveal their unique skills wasn''t realistic. Many wandering martial artists, without any sect affiliation, could easily retreat into the deep mountains and forests, beyond Lin Yuan''s reach.


    However, by organizing a martial arts convention, Lin Yuan could attract them. With his extraordinaryprehension, he could silently grasp their martial skills.


    Whether or not those wandering martial artists woulde...


    People generally pursued one of two things: fame or fortune. For martial artists, there was an additional factorpersonal martial arts proficiency. With superior martial arts as bait, Lin Yuan wasn''t worried that those wandering martial artists wouldn''t take the bait.


    Superior martial arts weren''t justmon, and each one could serve as the foundation of a legacy. Even the Great Zen Temple, a sacred ce of Buddhism, only had seventy-two superior martial arts.


    Moreover, with the martial arts convention led by the Great DaliDynasty, gaining a bit of recognition could propel a martial artist to fame.


    "Also, for the masters," Lin Yuan rubbed his chin, "If masterse, they can challenge me. Regardless of the oue, they will receive a mental martial art."


    In essence, masters who attended the martial arts convention could obtain a mental martial art. Although masters couldn''t cultivate mental martial arts, continuous contemtion would greatly assist in stepping into the grandmaster realm.


    "Yes," the slender old man swallowed nervously.


    Although the Great Zen Temple''s founder had left behind some mental martial arts years ago, who would reject the opportunity to have more? Different mental martial arts, contemted simultaneously, could be used to validate the grandmaster realm from various perspectives, making it easier to reach that step.


    As news of the martial arts convention spread, the entire world erupted in excitement. Just by achieving a top-ten position in the martial arts convention, one could choose any three superior martial arts? If it weren''t for the personal promise of the Great DaliEmperor, nobody would have believed it.


    These were superior martial arts! Just obtaining one would be incredible, but the top-ten martial artists could choose three, and freely at that. Initially, some martial artists doubted, but after the first martial arts convention, where the top-ten participants indeed obtained their desired three superior martial arts, martial artists worldwide went crazy.


    They rushed to the capital of Great Dali, eagerly awaiting the start of the next martial arts convention.


    While postnatal and prenatal martial artists were excited, the masters scattered throughout thend gradually changed their perspectives. They saw the announcement about the martial arts convention from the Great Dali Emperor.


    Masters could participate and challenge the mysterious monk who had single-handedly pierced through the imperial pce. Regardless of the oue, they would receive a mental martial art.


    Soon, numerous masters couldn''t resist and started heading towards the capital of Great Dali.


    Six monthster.


    Imperial Pce of Dali.


    Outside the martial hall, a sturdy man carrying a heavy sword appeared silently. By his side was a young boy of only fifteen or sixteen.


    "Southern Sea Sword Saint, I didn''t expect you toe too," said the slender old man guarding the martial hall, his expression serious.


    Before encountering Lin Yuan, the slender old man considered himself invincible under the grandmaster realm. Few masters could make him wary. The Southern Sea Sword Saint was one of them.


    In terms of strength, the Southern Sea Sword Saint wasn''t superior to the slender old man; they were evenly matched. However, the Southern Sea Sword Saint didn''te from a martial arts sect. He had reached his current height step by step, relying solely on his own efforts.


    The slender old man, on the other hand, came from the Great Dali Royal Family and received guidance from various masters since childhood. He often contemted the insights left by the founding emperor.


    Now the Southern Sea Sword Saint stood side by side with the slender old man, proving his extraordinaryprehension.


    "You, have you already started cultivating mental power?" The slender old man carefully examined the Southern Sea Sword Saint and was surprised. He could sense a faint mental pressure emanating from the Southern Sea Sword Saint, a sign of cultivating mental power. Once sessful, it could break into the grandmaster realm.


    The Southern Sea Sword Saint remained silent, his gaze fixed on the interior of the martial hall.


    "Grandmaster" the Southern Sea Sword Saint smiled, he came for a different purpose than the other masters who came here for the promise of mental martial arts.


    Although mental martial arts could assist in cultivating mental power, the Southern Sea Sword Saint no longer needed them. His true goal was to challenge the mysterious monk who had single-handedly pierced through the Great DaliImperial Pce. He wanted to use a grandmaster as a stepping stone to forge his path to bing a grandmaster himself.


    "Master, do you really want to go in?" The young boy, around fifteen or sixteen years old, was somewhat nervous.


    After all, that mysterious monk was recognized by many martial artists as a true grandmaster. Besides a grandmaster, who else could single-handedly pierce through the Great DaliImperial Pce?


    "Don''t worry, my disciple," the Southern Sea Sword Saint reassured him. "With my current strength, just facing the mental pressure of a grandmaster, I might breakthrough to the grandmaster realm at any time."


    The Southern Sea Sword Saint wasn''t too concerned. With half of his foot already stepping into the grandmaster realm, it wouldn''t take much to make the final leap once stimted by a true grandmaster. In that case, facing another grandmaster, even if he couldn''t defeat the mysterious monk, he believed he could retreat unscathed.


    "I''m going in, my obedient disciple, wait outside for a while," the Southern Sea Sword Saint said with eagerness, entering the martial hall.


    Only a short time, equivalent to the burning of a stick of incense, had passed when the martial hall''s door opened again. The sturdy man carrying the heavy sword walked out with an expressionless face.


    "Master, master! Is it over so soon?" The young boy hurried over, concerned.


    "Let''s go," the Southern Sea Sword Saint shook his head slightly, leaving the imperial pce with the young boy. Only when they reached the outskirts of the capital did the Southern Sea Sword Saint stop.


    Turning to face the direction of the imperial pce, he sat on a stone, muttering phrases like ''how can he be so strong'' and ''how is such a person possible.''


    The young boy, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, immediately realized that his master had likely lost. And not just lost, but lost quite thoroughly. Otherwise, he wouldn''t be acting like this.


    "Master, I didn''t think he was that strong. When you be a grandmaster in the future, you can challenge him again and win," the young boy said, trying to console his master.


    "That strong?" The Southern Sea Sword Saint fell silent for a while, unsure of what to say. After a long time, he regained hisposure and said slowly, "Now, as a postnatal martial artist, your perspective is still narrow. You see him like a frog in a well looking up at the moon."


    "When the dayes that you miraculously step into the grandmaster realm, or be a semi-grandmaster like me," the Southern Sea Sword Saint continued, speaking with an extremelyplex emotion, "You will see him as if you are a tiny insect looking up at the vast sky."

 Chapter 12

    Chapter 12


    Outside the martial hall, the slender old man, Yuwen Pan, watched as the figure of the Southern Sea Sword Saint disappeared.


    "To consider Master Hui Zhen as a stepping stone to break through the grandmaster realm... This is really..." Yuwen Pan, the slender old man, was at a loss for words. A touch of sympathy appeared on his face.


    Actually, using the pressure of life and death to break through bottlenecks was not umon. With the Southern Sea Sword Saint''s talent andprehension, it was quite possible for him to break through under the pressure of a grandmaster.


    Compared to Yuwen Pan, the Southern Sea Sword Saint had reached his current state entirely through his own efforts. His potential was beyond doubt.


    However, the Southern Sea Sword Saint''s greatest mistake was setting his goal on Master Hui Zhen. In Yuwen Pan''s eyes, Lin Yuan''s strength undoubtedly surpassed that of an ordinary grandmaster, perhaps even the strongest among all grandmasters throughout history.


    This belief had be nearly certain through almost a year of interaction.


    Moreover, Yuwen Pan had a more terrifying spection: "Has the Master''s strength really broken through that level?"


    Yuwen Pan felt his whole body trembling at the thought.


    Throughout history, for thousands of years, grandmasters had been unquestionably recognized as the strongest. It was the ultimate realm pursued by all martial artists. As for realms beyond grandmaster, surpassing the grandmaster realm... Yuwen Pan dared not think about it and wouldn''t think about it.


    It was as meaningless as pondering why the sun hung in the sky.


    However, after experiencing the might disyed by Lin Yuan''s roar, Yuwen Pan finally began to doubt.


    Perhaps, beyond the grandmaster realm, there was a higher realm? Something like what Lin Yuan possessed?


    It wasn''t unreasonable for Yuwen Pan to think so; Lin Yuan''s demonstrated strength was simply too extraordinary. The grandmaster from the Great Dali Dynasty hadn''t died many years ago, and Yuwen Pan remembered the descriptions of grandmasters vividly. Even the strongest grandmaster wouldn''t be this strong.


    In addition to this, Yuwen Pan had felt the bottleneck of the grandmaster realm under Lin Yuan''s asional guidance in the past year. If the guidance of a grandmaster was so useful, there wouldn''t be sayings like "a grandmaster can''t cultivate another grandmaster."


    Inside the martial hall, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    Since the martial artspetition began half a year ago in the capital, Lin Yuan''s insights had not ceased. Countless martial artists participated in the martial artspetition, and even though their strengths might not be high, they each disyed various martial arts.


    Lin Yuan, with his extraordinaryprehension, gained insights from countless perspectives, far more useful than just observing a few high-level martial arts.


    [Yourprehension is extraordinary. You gain insights into the world of martial arts, improving your understanding of martial arts beyond the mythical realm.]


    [Yourprehension is extraordinary. You gain insights into the world of martial arts, subtly grasping the essence of the natural world.]


    [Yourprehension is extraordinary. You gain insights into the world of martial arts, creating the ''Cloud Mist Refining Qi Technique.'']


    [Yourprehension is extraordinary. You gain insights into the world of martial arts, beginning to perceive the breakthrough direction of the subsequent realm.]


    Lin Yuan waspletely immersed in the world of enlightenment, only waking up if faced with a life-threatening situation. With Lin Yuan''s current physical body and the self-protecting mythical realm ''Yuan Li,'' he wouldn''t be harmed even if a group of grandmasters attacked him.


    After half a month.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes.


    "Finally found it," Lin Yuan sighed softly.


    With the assistance of his extraordinaryprehension, he had finally identified the path beyond the mythical realm. It was only a lock-on, and the actual journey would still require a considerable amount of effort. However, as long as the direction was correct, the rest for Lin Yuan was just a matter of time.


    "It''s time to go back."


    Lin Yuan stood up and walked towards the exit of the martial hall. Although, with Lin Yuan''s current strength, it didn''t matter where he practiced, he still preferred the environment of Shao Shi Mountain, the serene atmosphere with the ancient Buddha, and the undisturbed surroundings.


    Crack.


    The door of the martial hall opened.


    Yuwen Pan, who had been guarding outside, was suddenly startled.


    "Master."


    Yuwen Pan subconsciously looked into the martial hall, only to find that the young monk who should have been sitting there had disappeared.


    "Master. Has he left?"


    Yuwen Pan was stunned for a moment, feeling a bit lost. Even though he had anticipated it, knowing that powerful figures like Lin Yuan wouldn''t stay in the imperial pce for long, he felt as if he had lost something at this moment.


    Great Zen Monastery.


    Abbott Hui Yuan, the head of the martial monks'' hall Hui Wen, and several other hall leaders gathered at the gate of the monastery, looking worried.


    A year ago, the imperial pce of Great Daliwas pierced through by a mysterious monk with the strength of a grandmaster. The Great Zen Monastery had naturally heard about this event.


    Unlike other martial artists and forces specting about the identity of the mysterious monk, Abbott Hui Yuan and the hall leaders almost immediately recognized that the monk was their own disciple.


    There was no doubt when it came to a young monk''s appearance,bined with grandmaster-level strength. Who else could it be?


    At first, they marveled at Lin Yuan''s strength. A little over a hundred years ago, the grandmaster of the Great Dali Dynasty had attacked Shao Shi Mountain. Now, a monk from the Great Zen Monastery had single-handedly pierced through the imperial pce of Great Dali. It was a reciprocal courtesy.


    However, as time passed, the abbott and others began to sense that something was wrong.


    Did the monk intend to reside permanently in the imperial pce of Great Dali?


    At first, Abbott Hui Yuan and the others didn''t think that Lin Yuan would abandon the Great Zen Monastery. Instead, they were worried about what other intentions the Great DaliDynasty might have.


    While a frontal assault was easy to deal with, hidden schemes were hard to guard against. Certainly, with Lin Yuan''s strength, no one in the Great Dali Dynasty could match him. But what if they employed some ndestine means? After all, the imperial pce was once the residence of the grandmaster, the founder of the Great DaliDynasty, and there might be methods to deal with a grandmaster.


    Abbott Hui Yuan also had deeper concerns.


    As the martial artspetition progressed and several masters went to the capital to spar with Lin Yuan, rumors about his strength spread even more.


    Grandmaster.


    Peak Grandmaster.


    Invincible Grandmaster.


    The first Grandmaster of all ages, and so on.


    These rumors came from other masters, and their authenticity was unquestionable. As a result, Lin Yuan''s reputation grewrger and surpassed that of Patriarch Bodhidharma from a thousand years ago and the Grandmaster of Great Dali from over a hundred years ago.


    This situation might not have much impact on other masters, as they had spent decades on their journey and their mental state had been tempered by various experiences. However, Abbott Hui Yuan was well aware that Lin Yuan was only in his teens.


    At such a young age, could he withstand the worldly temptations and still return on the right path?


    "Let''s wait a bit longer. The disciple has only been down the mountain for a year. It''s a short time. Even if influenced by the secr world, he can still turn back in time," said the head of the Precept Court in a solemn tone.


    Not to mention a grandmaster, even for ordinary martial artists, one year was not a long timeit was considered the early stages of entering the martial world.


    "The disciple has a simple heart."


    The head of the Martial Monks'' Hall frowned, about to say something when, at that moment, on the narrow mountain path of Shao Shi Mountain, a young monk in monk''s robes and cloth shoes walked up step by step.


    "The disciple, the disciple is back."


    Abbott Hui Yuan was the first to notice Lin Yuan.


    A momentter, Lin Yuan arrived at the entrance of the Great Zen Monastery.


    "Venerable."


    Several people nodded to Lin Yuan, wanting to say something but refraining from it.


    "All matters have been resolved."


    Lin Yuan only said this and returned to the third floor of the scripture repository, sitting down again, away from the world, away from the hustle and bustle of the martial world.


    On this day, the young monk on Shao Shi Mountain, wearing cloth shoes and monk''s robes, who had just entered the martial world a year ago, left the martial world.

 Chapter 13

    Chapter 13


    Lin Yuan returned to the Great Zen Temple without causing muchmotion.


    Apart from the abbot and a few senior monks, no other monks were aware of his return.


    On the third floor of the scripture repository, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    "Eight years left."


    Lin Yuan nced at the illusory light screen below his line of sight, aware that his time in this realm was running out.


    "Probably enough."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    The path to the realm above the mythical state had a specific direction and approach due to his extraordinaryprehension abilities. With eight years of time and his Unrivaled Insightprehension efficiency, it was more than sufficient.


    "The path of martial arts."


    Lin Yuan''s eyes were profound.


    In this world, the path of martial arts was based on the human body,bined with the spirit, undergoing constant transformation. Although progress was slow, itcked major shorings.


    At least it was much more promising than the evolutionary path of the "Gene Warriors" in the cosmic human civilization.


    The Gene Warriors relied solely on physical evolution, and once they encountered evolved beings like "Psionics" or "Mind Masters," they were usually swept aside without proper preparation.


    The evolutionary path of Gene Warriors was likely created by the higher-ups of human civilization specifically for their descendants. Depending entirely on gene potions, as long as one could purchase a sufficient level of gene potions, they could continue to improve indefinitely.


    "I wonder how the path of martial arts is evaluated by the Goddess of Wisdom."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The Cosmic Human Alliance encouraged citizens to develop new evolutionary paths, and the Goddess of Wisdom even rewarded significant contributions to attract more people to engage in this field.


    The value of an evolutionary path depended on two aspects: its poprity and its potential.


    Poprity was easily understood; if only one person could practice a particr evolutionary path, it would have little value for the overall human civilization.


    As for potential, it referred to the theoretical upper limit of the evolutionary path.


    After spending more than ten years in this world, Lin Yuan had consistently used his extraordinaryprehension to deduce martial arts, opening up the realm beyond Grandmaster, even surpassing the mythical level. He aimed to maximize the potential of the martial arts evolutionary path to receive higher praise and rewards from the Goddess of Wisdom.


    Lin Yuan was well aware of priorities; this realm was just a temporary stay. After twenty years, he would return to the Cosmic Human Alliance.


    "Continue the enlightenment."


    After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan closed his eyes and once again entered the state of enlightenment.


    The recent journey to the Great Dali Country had been immensely helpful to Lin Yuan.


    The myriad martial arts recorded in the Martial Hall, the various miraculous techniques mastered by martial artists worldwideunder the catalysis of his Unrivaled Insightprehension, countless shes of enlightenment continued to burst forth in Lin Yuan''s mind, steadily advancing towards the realm above the mythical state.


    Time passed.


    Eight years flew by in a blink of an eye.


    As time passed, the true identity of the mysterious monk who prated the Grand DaliPce finally became clear to the world.


    It was Venerable Hui Zhen from the Great Zen Temple.


    When Lin Yuan uttered the words "This poor monk, Hui Zhen" outside the pce, many people heard it. Combined with the fact that the Great Zen Temple had already distributed portraits of Venerable Hui Zhen to various temples, and Lin Yuan''s appearance at several martial arts tournaments hosted by the Grand DaliCountry, the deduction was not difficult.


    The revtion of the mysterious monk''s identity led to increased activity at the Great Zen Temple. Many martial artists flocked to the foot of Mount Shaoshi, hoping to catch a glimpse of Lin Yuan. After spending only a year in the Grand DaliCountry, the mysterious monk disappeared, leading many to specte that he might have returned to the Great Zen Temple.


    Numerous martial artists came to the Great Zen Temple, eager to see Lin Yuan. After all, he was widely recognized as a grandmaster, even referred to as the greatest grandmaster by some masters. In the realms of literature and martial arts, he was considered unparalleled.


    Seeing that all the grandmasters acknowledged him without any doubt left only one possibilitythat Venerable Hui Zhen was indeed unbelievably powerful. He had defeated all the masters, attracting arge number of martial artists toe and witness this unparalleled figure.


    Even if they couldn''t see him, catching a distant glimpse was considered excellent. Who knows, if they were lucky, the anonymous monk might take an interest in them?


    This kind of opportunity was even greater than a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate.


    As for those who were valued by Venerable Hui Zhen and might have to shave their heads and be monks, many were willing to make that sacrifice, giving up worldly desires for the chance to advance.


    On the narrow mountain path of Mount Shaoshi, a burly man carrying a heavy sword moved forward slowly. Following closely behind him was a young man in his twenties.


    "Master, master."


    "Are you here to challenge that venerable again?"


    The young man asked curiously as they walked.


    The burly man carrying the heavy sword was none other than the Sword Saint of the South Sea.


    If there were masters nearby, they would notice that the Sword Saint of the South Sea exuded a profound aura, and looking into his eyes, they could sense a spiritual power as sharp as a sword.


    A grandmaster.


    The Sword Saint of the South Sea had already taken that step and be a grandmaster.


    In the past, the birth of any grandmaster would be an extremely sensational event, with congrattionsing from all directions and countless people bowing down. However, the Sword Saint of the South Sea found it dull.


    Ever since he exchanged moves with Lin Yuan eight years ago, he realized that there were always people beyond people and realms beyond realms.


    So what if he became a grandmaster?


    In the face of that venerable monk, even grandmasters had to die.


    "I just came to take a look."


    The Sword Saint of the South Sea shook his head.


    "Also, don''tpare your master with that venerable."


    "That venerable monk ceased to be a grandmaster eight years ago."


    The Sword Saint of the South Sea took a deep breath and said in a low voice.


    Suddenly, the Sword Saint of the South Sea''s expression changed dramatically.


    He raised his head abruptly, looking towards the summit of Mount Shaoshi, in the direction of the Great Zen Temple.


    Buzz!


    A terrifying aura began to ripple, instantly sweeping across the entire Mount Shaoshi. It spread in all directions at an extremely frightening speed.


    "What is that?"


    The Sword Saint of the South Sea''s face turned pale. In his perception, a vast and ocean-like aura rose from deep within the Great Zen Temple, shining like the sun, illuminating the world.


    "Atst. It has finally happened."


    On the third floor of the scripture repository, Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes, stood up, and walked out of the repository. It took nearly a decade, but he had finally stepped into the realm above the mythical state.


    Outside the scripture repository, the Long Eyebrow Monk, the abbot, and other senior monks had been waiting for a long time. Themotion caused by Lin Yuan''s breakthrough was too significant. Even the Sword Saint of the South Sea on the mountainside could sense it, not to mention the many monks within the Great Zen Temple.


    "Venerable."


    "Greetings, Venerable."


    Seeing Lin Yuan walk out of the repository, Long Eyebrow Monk and the others immediately bowed.


    "Thank you."


    Lin Yuan nodded, feeling good.


    "Venerable, your strength should have surpassed that of a grandmaster by now, right?"


    Abbot Hui Zhen hesitated for a moment, then inquired cautiously. He had long had this spection, but hadn''t been certain. After all, surpassing a grandmaster was considered reaching the ceiling for martial artists throughout history, and surpassing it was not an easy feat.


    However, just now, sensing the disturbance caused by Lin Yuan''s breakthrough, Abbot Hui Zhen realized something.


    That majestic aura, even if there were ten or a hundred grandmasters, could notpare.


    As for how Abbot Hui Zhen knew this, it was because the Long Eyebrow Monk had also sessfully advanced to the realm of a grandmaster a year ago.


    "Close enough."


    Lin Yuan''s eyes remained calm as he casually responded.


    "Truly surpassed the realm of a grandmaster?"


    Even though they had anticipated it, Abbot Hui Zhen and the others were still stirred by overwhelming waves of shock.


    The thoughts of the holy monk, who was already a grandmaster, were even moreplicated. He had witnessed Lin Yuan step-by-step progress and even received guidance from him more than ten years ago when he was still a disciple.


    "What does it look like beyond the grandmaster realm?"


    Abbot Hui Zhen''s voice trembled as he asked.


    Others immediately stared at Lin Yuan with intense curiosity.


    Although they couldn''t reach the heights Lin Yuan had achieved, and even the aspiration of bing a grandmaster seemed remote, at least they could listen to his insights, which was better than many of the grandmasters who had dominated their respective eras throughout history.


    "Above the grandmaster realm is called the Mythical Realm, where internal energy is sublimated into ''Elemental Power.''"


    Lin Yuan calmly exined.


    Lin Yuan patiently exined the many mysteries of the "Mythical Realm." After finishing, he paused for a moment before continuing, "I haven''t thought of a name for the realm above the Mythical Realm yet, but the fusion of Qi, blood, and spirit allows one to sense the aura of heaven and earth."


    "Hmm?"


    "Above the Mythical Realm?"


    Abbot Huizhen and the others were profoundly shaken, taking quite some time to react. They had just been immersed in the incredible aspects of the Mythical Realm, envisioning various characteristics of that realm. But now, Lin Yuan mentioned something beyond the Mythical Realm? Could it be that this young Venerable before them was already beyond the Mythical Realm? How else would he know the mysteries above the Mythical Realm?


    Following this, Lin Yuan patiently exined a few more details before dismissing Abbot Huizhen and the others.


    It wasn''t that Lin Yuan didn''t want to say more; it was just that words would be useless without reaching that realm. On the contrary, it could affect his own cultivation.


    "It should be close to the limit now."


    Lin Yuan pondered for a moment. At this point, he faintly felt a sense of pressure from between heaven and earth.


    The level he currently upied had reached the utmost in the mortal realm. Advancing further was not impossible with his extraordinaryprehension, but the time he had left was far from sufficient.


    "Almost there."


    Inside the scripture repository, Lin Yuan looked at the dozens of books stacked before him. They recorded the specific details of the process from the innate realm to the Mythical Realm and even beyond the Mythical Realm.


    Of course, as martial arts progressed to higher levels, ordinary people found it increasingly obscure and challenging to understand. That was also the reason why Lin Yuan was unwilling to exin in detail to Abbot Huizhen and the others.


    However, in case the Great Zen Temple produced a disciple with exceptional talent,parable to one in a million, and possessing a fraction of Lin Yuan''s gifted insight, these books could serve as guidance.


    But thinking about that day, it would probably be centuries or even thousands of years into the future.


    After entering the realm above the Mythical Realm, Lin Yuan stopped practicing and began to enjoy the mountains and waters. Even so, he felt the pressure from heaven and earth bing stronger and increasingly ufortable, like a stranded whale.


    Several monthster, Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.


    Because...


    The door to the myriad realms deep in his mind suddenly radiated a brilliant light.


    ...


    The first arc finished!! How is it?? :D


    Support me on patreon and you can read additional chapters :D

 Chapter 14: Return

    Chapter 14: Return


    Start of the second arc :D


    ...


    In a daze, Lin Yuan opened his eyes once again.


    Bed, bookshelf, photographs.


    Lin Yuan''s gaze swept across them, and finally, he let out a soft sigh of relief.


    "Back already?"


    Looking at the familiar surroundings, Lin Yuan felt like he had traveled to a different world.


    A moment ago, he was in the martial arts world for twenty long years.


    Now, he was back in the interster human alliance that spanned the cosmos.


    "Oh right. Check how much time has passed."


    After reflecting, Lin Yuan immediately checked the time.


    Although from the current environment, Lin Yuan judged that not much time had passed.


    Otherwise, considering his state of consciousness leaving the body and arriving in a different world, he would have been taken to the hospital by his parents long ago.


    But it was essential to note precisely how many minutes or hours had psed.


    "Only ten minutes have passed."


    After confirming the current time, Lin Yuan seemed a little absent-minded.


    Twenty years of time spent in the martial arts world amounted to only ten minutes in the main world.


    "Is it because the flow of time differs between the two worlds?"


    Before the journey, the door to the myriad realms had warned Lin Yuan.


    The time flow in the traversed world might differ from the current world.


    However, Lin Yuan hadn''t expected the time difference to be this significant.


    Ten minutespared to twenty years.


    Since ancient times, there had been sayings like ''a day in the celestial realm, a year on earth.''


    The time flow in higher worlds was far slower than in lower worlds.


    Compared to the main world, the martial arts world clearly belonged to a lower world.


    The difference in magnitude was even greater than the saying about the celestial and earthly realms.


    This could be seen from theparison of time flow rates.


    After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan''s mind sank into contemtion.


    There, suspended in mid-air, was a towering and majestic ''gate.''


    Upon careful observation, the current door to the myriad realms was noticeably dimmer.


    Its edges were gradually lighting up.


    When the entire door to the myriad realms lit uppletely, Lin Yuan would be able to undergo a second traversal.


    As Lin Yuan focused his mind on staring at the door to the myriad realms, a series of messages were once again transmitted.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan rubbed his forehead.


    After the first traversal, more features of the door to the myriad realms flooded into Lin Yuan''s mind.


    First and foremost was the method of traversal.


    Apart from the consciousness descent method, the door to the myriad realms could also facilitate physical traversal.


    However, this form of traversal consumed more of the door to the myriad realms'' energy.


    It required at least several years to umte enough energy.


    Considering that Lin Yuan''s normal method of conscious descent allowed for traversal every eight months to a year.


    "Physical traversal."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly, not particrly optimistic about this method of traversal.


    Physical traversal had many conveniences, such as not needing to start training from scratch, and more.


    But the disadvantages were also apparent  once you died, you were truly dead.


    In the consciousness descent method, even if the body died, it was just the consciousness returning to the original body, offering a chance for a fresh start.


    Of course, Lin Yuan did not entirely dismiss physical traversal.


    It could be used as a life-saving measure, for instance, if Lin Yuan faced a life-threatening situation in the main world.


    He could use physical traversal to escape to a different world and return when the danger had passed.


    Or, he could take advantage of the different time flows between the two worlds, breakthrough in the alternate world, and then return to the main world for aeback.


    In addition to adding physical traversal, the information transmitted by the door to the myriad realms also mentioned the ability to expend some cost to bring items from other worlds.


    This point did not surprise Lin Yuan.


    Since people could traverse, there was no reason why other things couldn''t.


    "Pre-natal True Qi."


    After absorbing the information from the door to the myriad realms, Lin Yuan''s mind moved slightly, and a strand of pre-natal True Qi naturally gathered in his lower dantian.


    In the martial arts world, Lin Yuan had condensed True Qi in his lower dantian as a child, havingprehended the superior martial art of Grand Buddha Fist.


    Moreover, he was now beyond the level of the mythical realm.


    Lin Yuan named this advanced state the "Free and Unrestrained Realm."


    Entering this realm, the heavens were vast, and the earth was thick, allowing him to be carefree and at ease.


    This was the Free and Unrestrained Realm.


    If it weren''t for the fact that advancing to Master, Grandmaster, and even the mythical realm required immense external energy and couldn''t be aplished in one go, Lin Yuan might have reached this state with just a thought.


    "Now, I should be considered an Evolver?"


    Controlling the pre-natal True Qi to circte throughout his body, Lin Yuan silently pondered.


    The interster human alliance had a clear definition of an Evolver  someone who possessed powers beyond the reach of ordinary people.


    This definition epassed various abilities, such as the psychic power of a Psychic Master or the telekinesis of a Psion.


    Lin Yuan''s condensed pre-natal True Qi might not be strong, but it was undoubtedly something an ordinary person couldn''t achieve.


    Thud, thud, thud.


    The room''s door suddenly sounded.


    "Brother, brother, it''s me."


    A tender voice came from outside.


    Lin Yuan looked up and recognized his six-year-old sister.


    After the mandatory conscription notice came, his parents were properly arranged, and even his young sister was no exception.


    Not yet in elementary school, she already had a spot for advanced studies at a prestigious institution.


    Such unimaginable affluence made many people jealous.


    Standing up and opening the door, Lin Yuan saw his young sister.


    "Brother, eat the cake."


    His sister held a cake, looking aggrieved.


    It was evident that she didn''t intend to give him the cake; the parents were subtly observing from the living room.


    The forced conscription was equivalent to sacrificing Lin Yuan to secure wealth and prosperity for the entire family, which made his parents uneasy.


    After all, Lin Yuan was their son, and they had deep feelings for him after so many years of being together.


    However, they couldn''t change the fact that this was the decision of the Human Alliance government.


    Forced conscription was forced conscription.


    Why was the word "forced" added to the front?


    Lin Yuan''s parents wanted tofort him but were afraid of upsetting him. Therefore, they had his little sister bring him her beloved cake to cheer him up.


    "Not bad."


    Lin Yuan took the small cake from his sister''s hand and, under her expectant gaze, finished it in one bite.


    After condensing the pre-natal True Qi, Lin Yuan was quite hungry. Although the cake was just a drop in the bucket, it was especially delicious.


    "Is it tasty, brother?"


    His little sister looked at Lin Yuan with big eyes, and tears began to well up.


    "Very tasty."


    Lin Yuan nodded, expressing his approval.


    "Wow!"


    "Why did you eat the entire delicious cake, brother?"


    His little sister burst into tears and ran towards the living room.


    Closing the door, Lin Yuan fell into contemtion.


    Now that he had be an Evolver, he could be exempted from conscription. ording to the regtions of the Interster Human Alliance, an Evolver was someone who possessed powers beyond ordinary people.


    Lin Yuan''s parents were undoubtedly upset about the forced conscription. Lin Yuan, as their son, was deeply cherished after many years together.


    However, now that he had be an Evolver, he could exempt himself from conscription. In theory, he should tell his parents about it.


    Nevertheless, to ensure a smooth process, he needed to obtain the Evolver certificate first. That way, he could present official proof when applying for an exemption from conscription.


    Otherwise, even if he told his parents, they might not believe him. After all, how could their good son suddenly be an Evolver?


    He had almost half a month until the conscription date. ording to the regtions of the Interster Human Alliance, as long as he hadn''t entered a military district battleship, he could be exempted from conscription as an Evolver.

 Chapter 15

    Chapter 15


    "The immediate priority now is to restore my full strength as soon as possible," Lin Yuan thought to himself as he sat cross-legged on the bed.


    With Lin Yuan''s level of cultivation, as long as he had sufficient external energy, he could quickly return to his peak in the shortest time possible. External energy, in this context, referred to various nutrients, supplements, and the like.


    However, the prerequisite was having enough money. As a student, Lin Yuan naturally didn''t have much money. Although his parents had some savings, it was undoubtedly far from enough to purchase the quantity of nutritional supplements he needed.


    "Evolutionary Path of Martial Dao."


    If Lin Yuan could upload this evolutionary path, given the support from the Interster Human Alliance for developing new evolutionary paths, he would undoubtedly receive substantial rewards. Not only rewards, but he would also gain a prestigious status.


    Lin Yuan had seen numerous stories on the inte about evolutionary schrs who opened up new evolutionary paths. However, before uploading the Martial Dao evolutionary path, Lin Yuan needed to make subtle modifications.


    After all, the human anatomy in the Martial Dao world was not necessarily identical to that of humans in the main world, leading to the possibility that Martial Arts from the Martial Dao world might not be practicable for citizens of the main world.


    This difference undoubtedly greatly diminished the value of the evolutionary path.


    One of the criteria for determining the value of an evolutionary path was its poprity.


    Nevertheless, for Lin Yuan, this issue was simpler than it seemed. With a broadly simr framework, he could use his extraordinary insight to slightly modify the Martial Dao evolutionary path to make it suitable for citizens of the main world.


    [Your Insight is unrivaled, and you''ve started to improve the Evolutionary Path of Martial Dao, with significant sess.]


    [Your Insight is unrivaled, and you''ve started to improve the Evolutionary Path of Martial Dao, with significant sess.]


    [Your Insight is unrivaled, and you''ve started to improve the Evolutionary Path of Martial Dao, with significant sess.]


    Compared to deducing the subsequent path of a newly created Martial Dao evolutionary path, this process of modification was undoubtedly much easier. In just two hours, Lin Yuanpleted the modifications for the Pre-Natal and Master chapters.


    At the same time, he integrated everything he had realized in the Martial Dao world over the past twenty years, forming aplete cultivation system.


    "War Scripture."


    Lin Yuan named it the ''War Scripture.''


    Afterpleting all this, Lin Yuan chose to connect to the ''Goddess of Wisdom.'' As one of the three ultimate intelligences of the Interster Human Alliance, the Goddess of Wisdom was absolutely impartial and free from any ulterior motives.


    Uploading the evolutionary path to the Goddess of Wisdom would not result in any unexpected ''interruption.'' The Goddess of Wisdom would fairly assess its value.


    After dozens of seconds, the familiar electronic synthesized voice echoed in Lin Yuan''s ears.


    "Universal Level Citizen Lin Yuan, please state your request. Remember, you have connected to the Goddess of Wisdom twice this month, and you have eight chances left. Please use them wisely."


    "I want to upload apletely new evolutionary path," Lin Yuan said directly.


    "Uploading apletely new evolutionary path."


    The electronic synthesized voice showed no fluctuations. In fact, not to mention the entire Interster Human Alliance, even on the Cann Star...


    Every moment, countless citizens would upload what they believed to be their ''evolutionary paths.''


    What is an evolutionary path? It is a guide that allows the essence of life to make a leap. This kind of leap needs to be stable and positive. Most of the ''evolutionary paths'' uploaded by citizens are extremely one-sided and highly vtile. There might not even be specific cases. It''s basically a waste of the Goddess of Wisdom''s judgment time. However, apletely new evolutionary path is crucial for the Interster Human Alliance, as it is rted to the emergence of new powerhouses. Therefore, whether it''s the Human Alliance or the three Goddesses of Wisdom, they spare no effort in encouraging citizens to explore and develop new evolutionary paths, even if it leads to some resource wastage.


    "Just this much."


    Lin Yuan tranted the ''War Scripture''s'' Pre-Natal and Master chapters into thenguage of human civilization, then began uploading.


    "Evolutionary path reception in progress."


    "Begin preliminary assessment."


    In almost an instant, the Pre-Natal and Master chapters of the War Scripture were continuously simted and deduced under the immenseputing power.


    "Preliminary judgment: this evolutionary path is genuine."


    "Preliminary judgment: this evolutionary path appears for the first time."


    "Preliminary judgment: this evolutionary path has extremely high poprity."


    After a few seconds, while Lin Yuan was considering the following Grandmaster and Mythical chapters, the voice of the Goddess of Wisdom once again entered his ears.


    However,pared to the electronic synthesized voice in front of him, this time''s voice seemed solemn and cold, even with a hint of an ''emotion'' that shouldn''t exist.


    "Respected Universal Level Citizen Lin Yuan, the evolutionary path you uploaded is undergoing a deeper level of judgment. Please wait."


    "Hmm?" Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.


    He naturally noticed the change in the Goddess of Wisdom''s tone.


    "Could it be that the one contacting me now is one of the main consciousnesses of the Goddess of Wisdom?"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. The Interster Human Alliance governed vast star regions, making it difficult to estimate the number of citizens. Therefore, the Goddess of Wisdom allocated to each citizen, considered as a welfare, was just an insignificant sub-consciousness of the true Goddess of Wisdom.


    It was simr to ordinary artificial intelligence.


    The only difference was that it could contact the true Goddess of Wisdom at any time.


    It was said that when encountering significant decision-making moments, the main consciousness of the Goddess of Wisdom would appear, but Lin Yuan had never experienced it.


    What Lin Yuan didn''t know was that at this moment, in a mysterious space many light-years away from the Cann Star, a massive light screen was rapidly flickering, frantically evaluating the value of the ''War Scripture.''


    "Deep judgment: this evolutionary path meets the standards in terms ofpleteness and stability."


    "Deep judgment: the potential upper limit of this evolutionary path reaches Tier Three."


    "Deep judgment: there is no simr evolutionary path in the current database."


    "Deep judgment: this itemplies with Article 3 of the Alliance Constitution; initiate the corresponding protocol, and approval request will begin shortly."


    "Querying the highest authority in the star region near Cann Star, which is Governor Song Wuyang."


    "Initiating contact with Governor Song Wuyang."


    At the highest point of Cann Star...


    Song Wuyang stretchedzily, preparing to end his day''s work. As theary governor of Cann Star, Song Wuyang had too many responsibilities. Cann Star was a mid-tier life-bearing with a resident poption of five billion. Moreover, there were citizens from othersing for tourism and business. All of this required Song Wuyang''s oversight.


    "Prepare to rest and shut down allmunication devices."


    Song Wuyang instructed his intelligent assistant, stood up, and rubbed his forehead. This had been his habit for many years. Once he decided to rest, he wouldn''t touch any work-rted matters.


    Of course, Song Wuyang''s rest time was short, only two hours a day. However, during these two hours, he absolutely avoided any contact with work-rted affairs.


    Just as Song Wuyang was about to rest, an electronic synthesized sound suddenly echoed in his ears.


    "Governor, someone is requestingmunication."


    "Didn''t I say to shut down allmunication devices? When I''m resting, no one should contact me about work."


    Song Wuyang suddenly opened his eyes, furrowing his brows with clear displeasure.


    "The requester has the highest authority level in the nearby star region. It cannot be refused."


    "Highest authority level in the nearby star region?" Song Wuyang raised an eyebrow, quickly calming down. "Is it one of the starlords?"


    "No, it''s the Goddess of Wisdom."

 Chapter 16

    Chapter 16


    "Wisdom Goddess?"


    Song Wuyang''s expression became solemn. As one of the three ultimate intelligent goddesses, the Wisdom Goddess had the highest authority in the nearby star region, and even in the entire universe of human civilization.


    "Why would the Wisdom Goddess contact me sote at night?"


    Song Wuyang spected in his mind. Any action taken by the Wisdom Goddess was the result of countlessputations by the intelligence brain and was absolutely not meaningless.


    "Could it be that those extraterrestrial beings are attacking?"


    Song Wuyang furrowed his brows. Several months ago, the alliance detected traces of extraterrestrial beings in the nearby star region, prompting the conscription action to quickly resolve the extraterrestrial threat.


    "Connect."


    Song Wuyang''s thoughts fluctuated, and he chose to connect. In reality, with the authority possessed by the Wisdom Goddess, even if he refused to connect, it wouldn''t have any effect. The Wisdom Goddess could force the connection.


    The so-called "connection" authority was proposed by a starlord hundreds of thousands of years ago during a constitutional assembly, iming to protect citizens'' privacy. It was granted to the three goddesses. Even though this authority was practically useless and refusing to connect didn''t guarantee non-connection, it served as a fig leaf. This way, during moments of personal matters, he wouldn''t suddenly hear the voices of the three goddesses.


    As Song Wuyang chose to "connect," a "ding" sound followed.


    "The Wisdom Goddess is now connected."


    Song Wuyangposed himself, assumed a respectful posture, and carefully asked, "It''s quitete. I wonder what the Goddess has to discuss with me?"


    The three ultimate intelligent goddesses of human civilization were the Freedom Goddess, the Justice Goddess, and the Wisdom Goddess. They each managed different aspects: the Freedom Goddess oversaw expansion and conquest, the Justice Goddess presided over legal decisions, and the Wisdom Goddess managed citizens'' livelihoods and logistics. These three goddesses worked together to support the brilliant civilization of human society.


    "ording to Article 16 of the Constitution, when a newly discovered evolution path shows potential reaching or exceeding the third tier, it will be jointly discussed and decided upon by the Wisdom Goddess and the highest authority in the nearby region."


    The solemn and dignified voice of the Wisdom Goddess echoed.


    Song Wuyang''s pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately asked, "Are you suggesting that a new evolution path has been discovered, and its potential is expected to reach the third tier?"


    In his capacity as theary governor, he received numerous new evolution paths every day for approval. However, almost all of them had low potential, and most were ungraded. asionally, a stroke of luck might result in the discovery of a first-tier potential.


    No wonder the Wisdom Goddess was so cautious, contacting him outside working hours.


    If it were an ordinary evolution path, the Wisdom Goddess would have already determined it herself, waiting for Song Wuyang to authorize it during his work hours the next day. However, a potential reaching the third tier was a different matter.


    The term "potential" didn''t refer to the current upper limit of the evolution path but rather the Wisdom Goddess using immenseputing power to simte the future upper limit of this evolution path.


    Any evolution path with potential reaching or exceeding the third tier represented the future and wealth of the entire human civilization. Through such an evolution path, the birth of a third-tier evolver was possible.


    "That''s correct."


    "Theary governor Song Wuyang, please have a look," the Wisdom Goddess responded.


    Instantly, numerousyers of screens shed before Song Wuyang''s eyes, revealing the ''War Scripture'' Prenatal and Master chapters submitted by Lin Yuan.


    "What is this?" Song Wuyang frowned. As a powerful evolver himself, he immediately realized the extraordinary nature of the War Scripture, representing the terrifying potential of the martial path.


    It required minimal external resources and had little demand for ''aptitude.'' Even if one didn''t ultimately be an evolver through this path, they could still use it to enhance their physique. With extremely high poprity and no restrictive conditions, as well as no weaknesses, it was a path unlike some extreme evolution paths, which were too specialized and vulnerable to specific countermeasures.


    "The Master realm of this evolution path should have reached the standard of entry-level evolvers," Song Wuyang judged.


    Evolvers from any path were divided into ungraded and entry-level evolvers. Although ungraded evolver possessed powers surpassing ordinary people, their strength was far inferior to entry-level evolvers.


    "What''s the rank of this evolution path on the Evolutionary Chart of our Cann Star?" Song Wuyang inquired cautiously.


    The Cann Evolutionary Chart recorded all the evolution paths born on Cann Star over the past 820,000 years since it became a suitable habitat for life.


    "ording to the highest intelligent brain calctions, the War Scripture evolutionary path could rank ny-third on the Cann Evolutionary Chart."


    The voice of the Wisdom Goddess echoed.


    "Really on the Evolutionary Chart?" Song Wuyang''s expression became slightlyplex.


    The Cann Evolutionary Chart recorded the one hundred strongest evolution paths on Cann Star over its entire history. These one hundred paths had undergone the test of time, with very few changes. At least, since Song Wuyang became theary governor, the Cann Evolutionary Chart had remained unchanged.


    "ording to Article 86 of the Constitution, concerning the support policy for developing new evolution paths, this evolutionary path will reward the developer with two thousand merit points."


    "Does Governor Song Wuyang agree?"


    The solemn and dignified voice of the Wisdom Goddess conveyed.


    "Two thousand merit points?" Song Wuyang fell into contemtion.


    Merit points were the most valuable ''currency'' in the universe human alliance, directly distributed by the three goddesses. In human civilization, merit points could achieve almost anything, such as upgrading citizens'' levels. With a sufficient number of merit points, one could evenmand the three goddesses.


    Of course, the distribution of merit points depended entirely on contributions to human civilization. The more merit points, the greater the contribution to human civilization, and naturally, the corresponding privileges.


    The Wisdom Goddess''s decision to grant two thousand merit points to the developer of the War Scripture evolutionary path made Song Wuyang realize that he had underestimated the value of this path.


    To put things into perspective, a normal path with potential reaching the third tier would have merit points ranging from eight hundred to one thousand. Very rarely would there be paths with over one thousand merit points, let alone directly granting two thousand merit points.


    "I agree," Song Wuyang nodded. The Wisdom Goddess wouldn''t show favoritism, so if she believed the value was two thousand merit points, then it must be so.


    In Lin Yuan''s room, he continued to sit cross-legged on the bed.


    "I''m still a bit hungry."


    After finishing some snacks in the room, Lin Yuan frowned slightly.


    Just then, a solemn and dignified voice echoed, "Respected Citizen Lin Yuan, the martial path evolutionary route you uploaded has been evaluated."


    "Oh?" Lin Yuan immediately perked up. The martial path evolutionary route was the culmination of his twenty years of immersion and mastery in the martial world. It represented the ultimate ''Dao Fruit'' of Lin Yuan in the world of martial arts. Lin Yuan was eager to know its value in the universe human alliance.


    "Citizen Lin Yuan, ording to the assessment, the theoretical potential of the martial path evolutionary route is at the third tier, with widespread poprity. Its value is two thousand merit points. Would you like to im them now?"


    "Two thousand merit points?" Lin Yuan''s eyes lit up.


    He was well aware of the value of merit points. It was the highest honor bestowed by the three goddesses of human civilization, a symbol that could be used to upgrade citizens'' levels.


    As for two thousand merit points, it was a surprise even for Lin Yuan. Merit points could purchase almost all restricted resources. In the underground ck market, a single merit point could fetch astronomical prices, often reaching tens of millions. Even if he sold two thousand merit points at a low price on the ck market, it would still amount to hundreds of billions.


    "Merit points have been granted," the voice of the Wisdom Goddess resonated.


    Lin Yuan immediately noticed that on his ount, in the merit points section, the previously unseen ''two thousand'' had appeared.


    "Upgrade citizen level."


    Lin Yuan began the operation. Although merit points were valuable, their most crucial function was to upgrade citizen levels.


    As for using merit points as currency to buy goods or converting them into currency through the ck market, it was a practice akin to draining a pond to catch fish.


    Once the citizen level was raised, who would worry about not having money? Lin Yuan knew that citizens of level two or above could easily obtain interest-free loans of tens of millions annually from the central bank. Many ces only required high-level citizens to lend their names, bringing in millions or even billions of ie each year.


    As Lin Yuan started to upgrade his citizen level, the voice of the Wisdom Goddess resonated once again.


    "Universe Level Citizen Lin Yuan, using one thousand merit points, upgraded to Level Two Citizen."


    Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    Upgrading from Level One Citizen to Level Two Citizen required one thousand merit points. Although he hadn''t reached Level Three Citizen, Lin Yuan was already content. Level One Citizens ounted for over 99.9% of the poption. Normally, one would find a Level Two Citizen among tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Level One Citizens, making it an elite and privileged ss.

 Chapter 17

    Chapter 17


    As Lin Yuan''s civic level changes, emails quickly flood into his inbox.


    "Emails?" Lin Yuan raises an eyebrow.


    With a slight thought, he connects to thework, and a virtual screen appears in front of him.


    The human civilization in the universe values technological development and has long abandoned externalworking devices such as phones andputers.


    Any human citizen can connect to the ubiquitouswork through specific conscious fluctuations at any time.


    "Open the mailbox."


    Lin Yuan browses through the first email he receives. The sender is the human civilization in the universe. The email congrattes Lin Yuan on bing a second-level citizen and expresses hope for future cooperation with the human civilization, etc.


    At the end of the email is a transfer of five million.


    "Quite generous," Lin Yuan remarks.


    He then checked his bank ount.


    Sure enough, five million has just been deposited.


    The currency of the human civilization in the universe is extremely stable.


    Five million is enough to cover the living expenses of a normal family of four for two hundred years.


    Lin Shoucheng, Lin Yuan''s father, worked his whole life and didn''t earn five million.


    Even though he is now a second-level citizen, Lin Yuan appreciates the five million.


    After all, who wouldin about having too much money?


    "It seems that higher-level citizens are much more popr than same-tier evolved" Lin Yuan thinks to himself.


    At least he has never heard of any citizen receiving a transfer from the human civilization right after bing an evolved.


    In fact, this is reasonable. To be an evolved, one has many ways, such as buying specific resources like gene elixirs or developing the body, which are mostly one''s own business and have little to do with the human civilization in the universe.


    However, to be a second-level citizen, one must contribute to the human civilization and receive merit points from the Goddess of Wisdom.


    The human civilization in the universe naturally values higher-level citizens more.


    Lin Yuan happily looks at his five million savings again.


    With this sum, he can buy various nutritional supplements and recovery items without any restrictions to restore his full strength.


    Next, Lin Yuan reads through other emails.


    The general content of these emails mainly exins various privileges.


    After bing a second-level citizen, Lin Yuan gains ess to many privileges that ordinary citizens cannot touch.


    There are mainly five aspects:


    1) Livelihood Assurance:


    A second-level citizen can receive ten thousand civilization coins from the central bank every month, even without doing anything.


    2) Exemption Privilege:


    Exemptions frompulsory actions involving conscription, immigration, etc. Unless Lin Yuan voluntarily agrees, he can directly refuse.


    3) Virtual World Authority:


    A second-level citizen has the qualifications to enter the local areawork of the virtual world.


    4) Life Privilege:


    In the governed regions of the human civilization in the universe, even if a second-level citizenmits a crime, localw enforcement agencies have no right to arrest, let alone kill.


    5) Purchase Authority:


    Many of the limited resources in human civilization, even with money, cannot be bought. One must possess the corresponding citizen level.


    Of course, apart from the aforementioned five privileges, second-level citizens have many implicit benefits.


    For example, ording to the regtions of the Cosmic Human Alliance, arge corporate entity must have a certain number of second-level citizens, and so on.


    "No wonder there are so few higher-level citizens."


    Lin Yuan''s expression revealed a sense of amazement.


    "Virtual world ess."


    Lin Yuan''s gaze fell on the third privilege.


    Lin Yuan could understand the other privileges of second-level citizens, but this virtual world ess...


    "Would you like to enter the virtual world?"


    Just as Lin Yuan was gazing at the virtual world, the solemn voice of the Goddess of Wisdom sounded in his ears.


    "Enter."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    He was curious about this virtual world.


    "Applying to connect to the virtual world."


    "As the applicant is connecting to the virtual world for the first time, identity verification is required."


    "Iris verification passed."


    "Blood verification passed."


    "Checking clone characteristics, verification result: non-clone, DNA verification passed."


    "Life-specific fluctuation, in ordance with records, verification passed."


    "Citizen Lin Yuan, during your entry into the virtual world, do not harbor any rebellious thoughts."


    Just as the voice of the Goddess of Wisdom reached him, Lin Yuan felt his surroundings go dark, and his consciousness quickly sank.


    With Lin Yuan''s strength, he could easily break free from this sinking feeling.


    But doing so might prevent him from entering the so-called virtual world, so he allowed his consciousness to continue sinking.


    "Where is this?"


    When Lin Yuan opened his eyes again, he found himself in the midst of a starry sky.


    Beneath his feet, a pale blue was slowly rotating.


    "Is this Cann Star?"


    Lin Yuan''s pupils contracted slightly.


    He immediately recognized that the beneath his feet was an exact replica of the real Cann Star.


    Whether it was the number of continents or the percentage of ocean area, it was identical to the real Cann Star.


    "Respected Citizen Lin Yuan."


    At this moment, a solemn voice came.


    Lin Yuan looked up and saw a beautiful woman in a white dress, quietly looking at him.


    "I am the Goddess of Wisdom."


    "I will now introduce the functions of the virtual world to you."


    The Goddess of Wisdom paused for a moment and continued, "The virtual world that Citizen Lin Yuan is currently connected to is, to be precise, the Cann Star Local Area Network."


    "It is divided into seven regions, namely the Living Area, Trading Area, Arena Area, and Central za Area."


    As the Goddess of Wisdom described each area, the corresponding part of the Cann Star below erged in an instant.


    "That is."


    Lin Yuan looked towards the ''Central za Area'' introduced by the Goddess of Wisdom.


    In this area, arge number of figures gathered, and in the center, there stood a massive towering monument.


    "That is the Cann Evolution Ranking."


    "It records the top hundred evolutionary paths in the history of Cann Star."


    The Goddess of Wisdom exined in a soft voice.


    "I see."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly, suddenly curious, and asked, "I wonder where my martial path ranks among the evolutionary paths?"


    "Citizen Lin Yuan''s developed martial path, after the highest intellect''s calction, is ranked ny-third," the Goddess of Wisdom replied.


    "Ny-third," Lin Yuan showed no particr emotion.


    The martial path he developed now had taken him twenty years in the world of martial arts. Even with his extraordinaryprehension, it wasn''t surprising to be ranked ny-third in a history spanning nearly a million years on Cann Star.


    In terms ofprehension, over a million years of history on Cann Star, no one couldpare to Lin Yuan. But time and arge poption did y a role.


    "The Cann Evolution Ranking will be updated tomorrow, and at that time, Citizen Lin Yuan''s martial path will be disyed for the first time."


    "Would Citizen Lin Yuan like to hide his citizen number?" the Goddess of Wisdom inquired.


    In the Cosmic Human Alliance, determining a citizen''s identity was not based on their name but on their citizen number. Given themonality of names, the citizen number was unique.


    "Hide it," Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and nodded.


    The Cann Evolution Ranking only selected the top hundred evolutionary paths, so it was undoubtedly prestigious. Lin Yuan, with his current strength andck of background, decided it was best not to draw too much attention.


    After understanding the functions of the virtual world, Lin Yuan exited.


    "Is it getting light?"


    Lin Yuan checked the sky.


    "Little Yuan, can Ie in?" At this moment, Lin Qiong''s voice came from outside the door.


    Due to concerns about Lin Yuan''s ability to withstand the impact of forced conscription, his parents refrained from actively seeking him out all night. Now, with the dawn approaching, Lin Qiong, his mother, decided toe and check on Lin Yuan.


    "Come in."


    "The door isn''t locked."


    Lin Yuan sat up from the bed.


    "You woke up so early? You probably didn''t sleep wellst night, right?" Lin Qiong''s voice was gentle, and although her appearance was somewhat ordinary, she gave off a feeling of approachability.


    "Little Yuan, actually, we knew about the conscription yesterday. The district head called Acheng (mc''s father) at the time, and Acheng refused. You know your dad, he can''t trade freedom for a future. I don''t want it either. Our family of four is fine. Why should we be separated?"


    Lin Qiong''s eyes turned red.


    "Mom, don''t be too sentimental."


    "I understand, I really do."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    Indeed, the matter of forced conscription was purely due to Lin Yuan''s bad luck, unrted to others.


    "There''s no need for you to worry about it."


    "You''re my son whom I''ve raised for so many years. If you, who were born from my own flesh, are conscripted, what will I do in the future?"


    Although methods such as external gestation had long been achieved with the current technology of cosmic human civilization, nearly half of the couples still preferred theborious method of conceiving through ''ten months of pregnancy.''


    Lin Qiong was one of them.


    "Little Yuan, in this card, I''ve saved up money over the years. Acheng doesn''t know about it. You take it first. The password is your birthday; it will definitelye in handy in the future."


    Lin Qiong took out a bank card, handed it to Lin Yuan, and said with a slightly choked voice.


    "This..."


    Lin Yuan hesitated slightly.


    Naturally, he could see that the money in this card was the result of his mother Lin Qiong''s frugal habits over the years. Now, giving it all to him at once...


    "In fact, I don''t need all this."


    After hesitating for a while, Lin Yuan spoke, "I don''t need to go for conscription anymore."


    "I know, I know Little Yuan, you''re sensible."


    Lin Qiong was about to speak when she suddenly realized something.


    "What did you say?"

 Chapter 18

    Chapter 18


    "I don''t need to go for conscription," Lin Yuan repeated.


    Lin Yuan''s original n was to visit the Evolver Association, register, and then, as an evolver, reject conscription. However, everything became simpler after he was promoted to a second-level citizen.


    Among the three methods the Goddess of Wisdom provided to exempt from conscription, both Evolvers and second-level citizens had the privilege to refuse conscription.


    "Little Yuan, are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Mother Lin Qiong didn''t show any joy on her face but expressed worry.


    Forced conscription was no trivial matter; it wasn''t something one could refuse just by wanting to. In Lin Qiong''s eyes, Lin Yuan might have experienced some kind of shock, leading to a mental disorder, causing him to speak incoherently.


    "I''m fine," Lin Yuan shook his head slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "I should be an Evolvernow. Don''t believe me? Watch."


    Lin Yuan raised his right hand and pushed it towards the living room.


    Several meters away, the ceramic bowl ced on the dining table turned into pieces.


    "Ah?"


    Seeing this unexpected scene, Lin Qiong widened her eyes.


    Faced with such a fantastical sight, Lin Qiong''s heart suddenly started to race.


    "Really an evolver?"


    Lin Qiong muttered to herself.


    Ordinary people couldn''t do such things unless they were those mythical evolvers.


    "Old Lin, Old Lin, wake up quickly."


    Thinking of this, Lin Qiong hurriedly ran out to report the good news to her husband, Lin Shou Cheng.


    A momentter, Lin Yuan sat at the dining table.


    Father Lin Shou Cheng and Mother Lin Qiong sat upright, examining Lin Yuan from top to bottom.


    It seemed like the first time they truly recognized their own son.


    Especially Lin Shou Cheng, who was wracking his brain over the conscription issue. Even though the hope wasn''t high, watching his son being sent to fight against other races was something he couldn''t ept no matter what.


    But Lin Shou Cheng could never have dreamed that the matter would be resolved in another way.


    Lin Yuan had be an evolver.


    ording to the regtions of human civilization, even an unranked evolver had the right to refuse conscription.


    "How did you be an evolver?" Father Lin Shou Cheng couldn''t help asking.


    There were many ways to be an evolver, but most required a substantial cost, either in terms of money or other aspects. Lin Yuan was just an ordinary student; where could he find the resources?


    "I woke up this morning and found that I had be one," Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and casually gave an exnation. He certainly couldn''t reveal the Gateway of the Myriad Realms. It was his biggest secret, something he couldn''t share with anyone, not even his closest family.


    "It can''t be an Awakening-type evolver, can it?" Father Lin Shou Cheng enthusiastically spected.


    Evolvers were divided into two types: Unique and General. Among them, the Unique category had many subtypes, and Awakening-type evolvers were one of them.


    Awakening-type evolvers had evolution factors in their bloodline, which might not manifest for their entire lives or could suddenly appear one day.


    ording to Lin Yuan''s description, his son seemed to resemble an Awakening-type evolver.


    "My old Lin family must have had a powerful evolver ancestor; otherwise, it wouldn''t be possible for evolution factors to be passed down?" Father Lin Shou Cheng was quite pleased.


    Mother Lin Qiong immediately became unhappy, pushing Lin Shou Cheng, "Why can''t it be the evolution factors from my side?"


    The tone of their conversation became noticeably more rxed.


    Regardless of whether it was from one side or the other, the evolution factors in Lin Yuan meant that he had be an evolver, and the uing forced conscription had nothing to do with him.


    Of course, after being exempted from forced conscription, the conditions set by the government earlier were naturally canceled.


    However,pared to his son bing an evolver, these conditions were insignificant. Lin Yuan, once exposed to the circle of evolvers, could at least soar through the ranks effortlessly, benefiting not only himself but also those around him.


    Cann Star''s virtual world.


    Central Square Area.


    Everyone appearing here was without exception second-level citizens or evolvers. Ordinary citizens didn''t even have ess to the virtual world, let alone entering this area.


    Among the seven regions of the virtual world, the Central Square Area was the liveliest, dominated by the monumental Cann Evolutionary Ranking.


    Countless evolvers and higher-level citizens looked up to it.


    "You''ve just be evolvers and entered this virtual world; first, you need to understand the significance of the Cann Evolutionary Ranking."


    In a corner of the Central Square Area, a middle-aged woman with ck-framed sses was spreading knowledge to several young men and women.


    "The Cann Evolutionary Ranking contains the hundred most powerful evolutionary paths in the history of Cann Star, some of which have even shone brightly in other star domains."


    "You must remember that these hundred evolutionary paths have undergone the test of the ages and are a monument to us evolvers, unchangeable."


    The middle-aged woman with ck-framed sses quickly spoke.


    The young men and women nearby nodded repeatedly.


    They weren''t foolish; they naturally understood the value of the Cann Evolutionary Ranking.


    "Alright."


    The middle-aged woman with ck-framed sses nodded slightly.


    This time, no one stood up to refute her words arrogantly.


    "Next..."


    The middle-aged woman with ck-framed sses was about to continue speaking when a young woman below suddenly opened her mouth.


    "Sister Ruan, it changed, the ranking changed."


    The young woman with a baby face stuttered.


    "Are your eyes ying tricks on you? How could the Cann Evolutionary Ranking change?"


    The woman with ck-framed sses frowned slightly.


    The Cann Evolutionary Ranking contained the hundred most powerful evolutionary paths in the history of Cann Star over nearly a million years. It was inconceivable for it to change.


    "Uh..."


    The woman with ck-framed sses squinted.


    The young woman had mentioned that the ranking had changed.


    "Blood Evolutionary Path."


    The woman with ck-framed sses first looked at the ''Blood'' evolutionary path, which was ranked one hundred.


    "Is it really gone?"


    The woman with ck-framed sses felt a bit uneasy.


    The ''Blood'' evolutionary path, originally ranked one hundred, had disappeared, reced by the evolutionary path that was previously ranked ny-nine.


    "Path of Martial Arts Evolution."


    The woman with ck-framed sses quickly looked upward, realizing that the ''neer'' was ranked ny-three.


    "So, this evolutionary path made its way onto the Cann Evolutionary Ranking?"


    The woman with ck-framed sses took a deep breath, waves of turmoil surging within her. The fact that the Martial Arts Evolutionary Path had made its way onto the ranking proved the potential of this evolutionary path. What shocked the woman was the question of which influential figure had developed this particr path.


    "Something big is about to happen," she thought to herself.


    Changes in the Cann Evolutionary Ranking were inevitably going to attract the attention of various forces on Cann Star. For instance, the evolvers who practiced the now-removed Blood Evolutionary Path were probably going crazy.


    The change in the Cann Evolutionary Ranking quickly caught the attention of others in the square.


    "It''s amazing! I remember thest change in the ranking was around five hundred and sixty years ago."


    "Who could have developed the Martial Arts Evolutionary Path? Dr. Chen? Or Director Shi?"


    "I''m not sure. Dr. Chen is my rtive, and I haven''t heard that he''s been researching new evolutionary paths recently."


    "Has anyone tried the Martial Arts Evolutionary Path?"


    Numerous evolvers, as well as second-level and higher citizens, engaged in lively discussions. They wanted to know who had developed the Martial Arts Evolutionary Path, but unfortunately, the citizen number was hidden, and no one knew.


    Lin Yuan was unaware of this because he had uploaded the Martial Arts Evolutionary Path, causing a hurricane-like disturbance in the virtual world.


    At the moment, he was browsing the marketce, intending to purchase some nutritional fluids to quickly recover his strength.


    The so-called marketce was an official shopping tform established by human civilization. The variety of goods avable was extensive, and the prices were fair, given the official endorsement.


    As a second-level citizen, Lin Yuan''s ess to the marketce featured mostly restricted items.


    Gic elixirs, which ordinary citizens could never ess, were also avable, and they were priced at one million credits per bottle.


    "Advanced Nutrient Fluid?"


    Lin Yuan quickly searched and focused on the ''Advanced Nutrient Fluid.''


    ''Nutrient Fluid'' was one of the essential supplies for space explorers, significantly replenishing their energy expenditure.


    Nutrient fluids were categorized as low-level, mid-level, and high-level. A low-level nutrient fluid contained enough energy to sustain an ordinary person''s consumption for a month. This meant that by consuming a low-level nutrient fluid, a normal person could survive for a month without eating or drinking.


    Mid-level and high-level nutrient fluids were mainly used for certain giant or alien creatures, as their energy content was too overwhelming for ordinary humans to endure.

 Chapter 19

    Chapter 19


    "Let''s buy a bottle and see its effects first."


    Lin Yuan selected the quantity of the advanced nutrient fluid as ''1'' and clicked on purchase. The price for a bottle of advanced nutrient fluid was two hundred thousand, equivalent to ten years'' ie for an ordinary citizen who neither eats nor drinks. Moreover, high-quality nutrient fluids had already be restricted resources.


    If Lin Yuan hadn''t upgraded to a second-level citizen, he wouldn''t even have seen this option, let alone purchase it.


    "I guess my current strength level is probably close to an unranked Evolutionist?"


    After buying the advanced nutrient fluid, Lin Yuan began to evaluate his own condition. ording to the Cosmic Human Alliance''s standards for different Evolutionist ranks, his Martial Dao innate realm had barely reached the threshold of bing an Evolutionist, meaning he was at an unranked level.


    However, he understood that the realm andbat power were different things. With his control over the Unrestrained Realm (Free and Unrestrained Realm), he could achieve extraordinary effects  even at an unranked level, he could easily crush ordinary ranked Evolutionists.


    "Among ranked Evolutionists, the first rank is divided into twelve stages. If I could recover to full strength, I''d probably be between stages ten and twelve."


    Lin Yuan spected in his mind. Purely in terms of destructive power, the Unrestrained Realm was likely approaching the limit of the first rank and was close to the second rank.


    A true second-rank Evolutionist might not reach the ''City-Annihtion Level,'' but as long as there are no evolvers of the same level or technological weapons to block it, destroying a city will not take long. A casual blow can easily destroy tall buildings hundreds of meters and kilometers high.


    Since the high-grade Evolutionary Fluid was a restricted resource, it would probably take half a day to a day for it to be delivered to Lin Yuan. During this time, he decided to buy a house.


    More precisely, he intended to purchase a training space.


    His current residence was too small and fragile. Lin Yuan sometimes worried that even stretching would cause it to copse. Moreover, he asionally needed arger space to verify his Martial Dao.


    As an Evolutionist, he also needed an independent space, which his current residence didn''t meet.


    "Shuiyue District."


    Lin Yuan browsed the inte for a while and selected this district. Shuiyue District belonged to the high-end real estate area of Dongning City, recently opened for sale in the suburbs.


    In the cosmic era, true upper-ss elites preferred not to live in the city center. Thus, high-endmunities like Shuiyue District, located in the suburbs, close to nature, and emphasizing the environment, always remained popr.


    Lin Yuan looked at the housing prices in Shuiyue District, ranging from ten million to fifteen million. In addition, second-level citizens could enjoy a fifty percent discount.


    Lin Yuan wasn''t surprised by this. In the cosmic human civilization, higher-level citizens naturally enjoyed many benefits and privileges. After all, the citizen level couldn''t be inherited, and the current higher-level citizens were individuals who had made significant contributions to human civilization.


    "This district will do."


    Lin Yuan went out and headed to the suburbs. The five to seven and a half million credits exceeded his current deposit limit. However, after upgrading to a second-level citizen, Lin Yuan received a credit card from the Central Bank.


    He could borrow up to twenty million credits at no interest. This two million credits only needed to be repaid within fifty years. It was one of the hidden benefits of being a second-level citizen. With the ie of a second-level citizen, earning a few million in a year would easily repay the loan within seven or eight years. It wasn''t a high-risk loan.


    Soon...


    Lin Yuan arrived at the sales office of Shuiyue District.


    There weren''t many citizens here, but without exception, they all exuded extraordinary charm, belonging to true elite individuals. After all, ordinary citizens rarely strolled around high-end properties worth one or two million.


    Even though Lin Yuan was dressed casually, he didn''t go unnoticed. Immediately, a staff member approached him.


    "Hello, sir. What type of house are you looking for?"


    The staff member, a girl with red lips, white teeth,rge eyes, and a tall figure, wearing a slightly tight uniform that subtly outlined her curves, greeted Lin Yuan.


    "Arger one, quieter."


    Lin Yuan stated his requirements.


    "Sure, sure."


    As the conversation continued, Anna''s mood gradually became serious. She nced at the young man in front of her, wondering if he was really here to buy a house. It wasn''t that Anna looked down on Lin Yuan, but out of ten people who came to inquire, nine only came to ask, and only one might have a slight intention to buy. This was normal since dealing with matters involving one or two million required careful consideration.


    However, judging by Lin Yuan''s tone, it didn''t sound like a mere inquiry. Thinking about this, Anna immediately became excited, closing the distance between them. She almost leaned into Lin Yuan.


    "I''ll take this one."


    After looking for a while, Lin Yuan finally made a decision.


    This property had three floors and could be considered more of an estate than a house,plete with a dedicated courtyard and even an underground training ground.


    "Really buying?"


    Anna felt delighted.


    "Would you like to apply for a loan, sir?"


    Anna asked cautiously.


    "No need."


    Lin Yuan shook his head. Processing a loan would involve interest, and he had an interest-free loan with the credit card from the Central Bank.


    "Do you offer a fifty percent discount for second-level citizens on housing purchases here?"


    Lin Yuan inquired.


    "Yes, indeed. For higher-level citizens, we at Shuiyue District..."


    Anna started her usual response.


    However, halfway through her answer, she froze.


    "Sir, are you... a second-level citizen?"


    Anna''s voice trembled.


    Among the people who came here to inquire, Anna had encountered many wealthy individuals. However, second-level citizens and above were extremely rare. The entire Dongning City had only a handful of second-level citizens, making their number quite scarce.


    "Sir, please wait. Let me get our manager."


    Anna apologized a few times and led Lin Yuan into the VIP room.


    In the lounge of the sales office,


    Zhao Qiwen took a sip of water and immediately walked out.


    She had earned the opportunity to work part-time here, but it came at a great cost. Saleswomen for high-end properties like Shuiyue District needed to meet basic requirements such as appearance and figure. Interpersonal skills and hospitality were also crucial. They had to make clients feel no displeasure and willingly part with their money.


    "I wonder when I''ll sell a unit."


    Zhao Qiwen sighed.


    ncing upwards, she noticed Lin Yuan talking to Anna.


    "He''s Lin Yuan, isn''t he?"


    Zhao Qiwen immediately recognized Lin Yuan, who was conversing with Anna.


    "Why would hee here?"


    Zhao Qiwen was puzzled. She and Lin Yuan were ssmates, although they didn''t interact much. They were aware of each other''s family backgrounds. ording tomon sense, with Lin Yuan''s family situation, he definitely couldn''t afford a house in Shuiyue District.


    "Could he be here just for a visit?"


    Zhao Qiwen spected in her mind.


    She had no intention of approaching him. Firstly, they were ssmates, and meeting in such a situation would be somewhat awkward. Secondly, Anna had already taken charge, and Zhao Qiwen approaching might be seen as trying to "steal a customer." Even though Zhao Qiwen thought Lin Yuan didn''t have the financial capability to purchase a house, she chose not to intervene.


    However, what happened next left Zhao Qiwen wide-eyed.


    First, Lin Yuan said something to Anna, and then he was respectfully led into the VIP room by her.


    Heavens!


    That was the VIP room.


    Normally, clients would only be invited into the VIP room after their financial credentials were verified, and their deposits exceeded two million, demonstrating the ability to make a purchase.


    Zhao Qiwen couldn''t fathom why Lin Yuan was being ushered into the VIP room. If Anna hadn''t been a seasoned employee here, making such amon sense mistake, Zhao Qiwen would have intervened.


    But before Zhao Qiwen could fully process this,


    A dignified middle-aged man hurriedly approached and entered the VIP room. Before entering, he even took a moment to patiently knock on the door.


    "Manager Wang."


    Seeing this, Zhao Qiwen felt her throat dry up.


    Manager Wang was the manager of the sales office, rumored to have connections with some high-ranking leaders in Dongning City. With Manager Wang''s status, he seldom attended to clients directly. Even if they had the financial capability, it was challenging to meet him. Moreover, Manager Wang rarely lowered himself to such levels.


    "Did I see it wrong?"


    At this moment, Zhao Qiwen began doubting her eyesight.


    Maybe that person just now wasn''t Lin Yuan at all but someone who resembled him. But would such a distinguished person wear such in clothes? She remembered Lin Yuan wearing a simr outfit at school. Was it just a coincidence? Lost in her thoughts, Zhao Qiwen waited outside.


    After a while,


    Zhao Qiwen saw Lin Yuan being respectfully escorted out by Manager Wang.


    Then, under Manager Wang''s personal guidance, they went to inspect the houses in the rear of theplex.


    "It really is Lin Yuan."


    This time, Zhao Qiwen observed carefully.


    She was sure the young man walking ahead of Manager Wang was her ssmate.


    "What are you looking at?"


    "Why are you staring at the client like that? Is this how you usually behave?"


    At this moment, Anna walked over, frowning at Zhao Qiwen.


    "Anna, I''m just curious about that person''s identity. Even Manager Wang is following him like..."


    Zhao Qiwen didn''t say the words ''like a grandson'' out loud, but the meaning was clear.


    "Mr. Lin is a distinguished guest of our Shuiyue Group. Don''t refer to him as ''that person.'' If Manager finds out, you won''t be spared."


    Anna red at Zhao Qiwen and continued, "And don''t inquire about the guest''s information. It''s a rule of the group, understand?"


    "Yes, yes, I understand."


    Upon hearing this, Zhao Qiwen''s face turned slightly pale.


    Anna had cited the group''s regtions, indicating that Lin Yuan''s true identity was far beyond her reach.


    "The environment is quite good."


    In Shuiyue District, No. 32, Lin Yuan sat in the underground training room, his expression showing satisfaction.


    You get what you pay for, and this ce indeed met Lin Yuan''s standards.


    "Oh right, I need to change my address."


    Thinking of something, Lin Yuan opened the shopping app and updated the address of the purchased ''Advanced Nutrient Solution'' to his current location.


    A stranger arrived at Shuiyue District half a dayter, stopping in front of Lin Yuan''s residence.


    "Hello, Mr. Lin Yuan. This is the item you purchased. You can open it with your fingerprint."


    Lin Yuan took the sealed alloy box handed over by the man, and his finger swiped across the top.


    "Drip! Fingerprint verification sessful."


    An electronic synthesized voice sounded, and the alloy box opened, revealing a ten-centimeter test tube.


    Inside the test tube was a sky-blue liquid.


    "Worth every bit of the two hundred thousand."


    Lin Yuan smiled as he examined the ''Advanced Nutrient Solution.''


    Gulp.


    Lin Yuan opened the ''Advanced Nutrient Solution'' and took a sip.


    Instantly, a scorching breath began to spread throughout his limbs and hundreds of bones.


    The terrifying force almost burst out of his body, exploding in all directions.


    "Refine."


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    Suddenly, the terrifying heat rapidly merged into his body, continuously being refined.


    An hourter,


    Lin Yuan silently opened his eyes.


    "Advanced to the Grandmaster Realm?"


    Lin Yuan''s eyes gleamed as he felt a substantial increase in his blood and internal energy.


    "Maybe another twenty bottles, and I''ll be able to fully restore my strength."


    Confirming the effectiveness of the ''Advanced Nutrient Solution,'' Lin Yuan didn''t hesitate to purchase twenty bottles.


    Two dayster, after absorbing all twenty bottles of ''Advanced Nutrient Solution,'' Lin Yuan''s strength fully recovered.

 Chapter 20

    Chapter 20


    Water Moon Residential Area, House No. 32.


    Underground training room.


    "Now, there''s no sense of oppression."


    Lin Yuan sits cross-legged, his eyes deep, silently thinking.


    In the martial world, after stepping into the Unrestrained Realm, he felt the oppressive force from the depths.


    As if a stranded whale, ufortable all over.


    But now, there is no such feeling.


    "Is it because of the different world limits?"


    Lin Yuan spectes in his mind.


    The upper limit of the martial world is obviously much lower than the main world.


    This can be seen from the huge difference in the flow of time.


    Lin Yuan is in an unprecedented Unrestrained Realm, perhaps approaching the true limit in the martial world.


    He may be suppressed and rejected by the world.


    But in the main world, even if it''s not a starting point, there is still a distant distance from the true world limit.


    At least, as far as Lin Yuan knows, those truly powerful evolvers in the Cosmic Human Alliance can easily cross the starry sky with their bodies, destroying stars with a snap of their fingers.


    In the history of the star sea for over two million years, human civilization has emerged from the mother star, sweeping across alien races, upying vast and vast star domains.


    Apart from the three ultimate intelligent goddesses who unified themand, extremely powerful individual evolvers also made indelible contributions.


    Having fully restored his strength, Lin Yuan gradually adapted and realized that he could connect to the virtual world.


    These days, while refining ''advanced nutrient solution,'' Lin Yuan would asionally explore the virtual world.


    Cann Star Virtual World, residential area.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appears on a street.


    People pass by from time to time.


    In the corners, a few figures asionally gather to chat.


    At a nce, there are dozens of figures on this residential street.


    Lin Yuan is no longer surprised by this.


    Although ordinary people don''t have the privilege to connect to the virtual world, Cann Star has a poption of five billion.


    Even if there is one second-level citizen among fifty thousand citizens, the total number of second-level citizens on Cann Star exceeds a hundred thousand.


    In fact, in a poption of two to three hundred thousand, one second-level citizen can emerge, and the actual number of second-level citizens on Cann Star is close to three hundred thousand.


    This is just second-level citizens; evolvers also have the privilege to connect to the virtual world.


    And the number of evolvers is muchrger than the number of second-level citizens.


    After all, there are various ways to be an evolver, normal, abnormal, mutation, inheritance, and so on.


    Of course, the number of evolvers is rtive to second-level citizens.


    Compared to ordinary citizens, evolvers are still extremely rare, with one in thousands on average.


    Lin Yuan casually enters a bar in a residential area, sits in a corner, and orders a mixed drink.


    "This texture."


    Lin Yuan takes a sip, slightly amazed.


    If he didn''t perceive the outside world''s body very clearly, Lin Yuan almost thought he hade to the real world.


    "No wonder the Goddess of Wisdom restricts ess to the virtual world."


    "With such clear sensory simtion, it must be built on a giant server. If everyone can connect, the cost would be terrifying."


    Lin Yuan sat in the bar for a while and then exited the virtual world.


    "Now that my strength is restored, I should go to the Evolver Association as soon as possible, register, and get the Evolver certificate."


    The Cosmic Human Alliance tightly controls evolvers, even those who haven''t advanced, must register as soon as possible.


    Thinking of this, Lin Yuan immediately contacted the local Evolver Association and made an appointment for registration the next day.


    Like organizations such as the Evolver Association, it''s better to make an appointment in advance.


    The next day, Lin Yuan went back home.


    These days, he stayed away from home under the pretext of needing to undergo training as an evolver.


    At the dinner table, Lin Yuan''s mother, Lu Qiong, seemed to remember something and said, "Little Yuan, you''ve be an evolver, haven''t you? Old Lin loves to show off, and he mentioned it in the rtives'' group."


    "A few rtives heard about it and want to hold a family banquet. Everyone wants to get together, celebrate, and take a look at you."


    "That rtives'' group."


    Lin Yuan nced at his father, Lin Shou Cheng.


    In the interster era, the concept of ns had long faded, but social connections still existed.


    Lin Yuan bing an evolver was a significant event that transcended social sses, much more reliable than entering some higher education institution.


    Entering a higher education institution does not guarantee that you will stand out. There are millions of students graduating from higher education institutions every year, but only a few find satisfactory jobs.


    But being an evolver is different. Even if you are just an unadvanced evolver, manypanies and corporations are willing to hire you at a high sry.


    In case, in the future, you are fortunate enough to be an advanced evolver, that''s like a carp leaping through the dragon gate.


    Originally, Lin Yuan''s family was just an ordinary one, upying a dispensable position among rtives. But now, everything had changed since Lin Yuan became an evolver.


    No one could guarantee that in the future, they wouldn''t need the help of Lin Yuan, the evolver.


    Sometimes, asking for help is not embarrassing. What''s embarrassing is not being able to find the person to ask for help.


    "Uncle Nian helped me before, and he wants everyone to get together. I can''t refuse."


    Father Lin Shou Cheng smiled bitterly.


    He just boasted a bit in the group; he didn''t expect someone to actually step forward.


    "It''s okay; I''ll be there during the family banquet."


    Lin Yuan knew what his parents meantthey were worried that he might have othermitments and wouldn''t be able to attend.


    If even the protagonist, Lin Yuan, didn''t show up, what would be the point of holding a family banquet?


    "Family banquet?"


    "What family banquet?"


    "Is there delicious food?"


    Lin Yuan''s sister, Lin Yi, immediately became excited, blinking her big eyes and asking.


    After finishing the meal and leaving home, Lin Yuan nned to go to the Evolver Association to get his certificate.


    Not long after he started walking, Lin Yuan received a phone call.


    "Is this Mr. Lin Yuan?"


    The voice on the other end of the phone was a cautious female voice.


    "I am."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    "I''m from the Evolver Association. Mr. Lin Yuan applied to register today."


    "At that time, it wasn''t clear that Mr. Lin Yuan is a second-level citizen, so it wasn''t exined properly. ording to the association''s rules, any second-level citizen whoes for business needs to be escorted by a dedicated person."


    The woman on the phone was almost on the verge of tears.


    There were only a few second-level citizens in Dongning City, and they all knew the president of the Evolver Association. When they came for business, they usually went directly through the president.


    As a small employee, she had never had contact with any second-level citizen.


    Yesterday, when she received Lin Yuan''s application, she was busy with other things and didn''t pay much attention. It wasn''t until this morning, when entering Lin Yuan''s citizen number, that she discovered he was a second-level citizen.


    Because of this incident, it drew the attention of her superiors, who asked what this second-level citizen needed and insisted on meeting his needs as much as possible.


    "It''s okay."


    Lin Yuan shook his head.


    He hadn''t lost anything.


    "So where is Mr. Lin now? I''ll arrange for someone to pick you up right away."


    The woman on the phone finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Lin Yuan held her ountable for her service attitude, undoubtedly, she would be dismissed the next day, and the reason would be written into her file.


    At that time, no enterprise or group would be willing to hire her because, regardless of the circumstances, disregarding higher-level citizens is crossing a bottom line.


    "I''m here right now."


    Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment but decided to disclose his current location.


    Having someone pick him up would be convenient, and he could also save some taxi money.


    After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuan casually found a coffee shop on the roadside and waited.


    However, not long after, a voice suddenly came from nearby.


    "Lin Yuan, why are you here?"

 Chapter 21

    Chapter 21


    Lin Yuan turned his head and saw a tall and sturdy guy running towards him.


    It was none other than Lin Yuan''s desk mate and good friend, Du Quan.


    Du Quan jogged over and hugged Lin Yuan''s shoulders. "Where have you been for the past half month? I asked Auntie Lu, and she said you were busy."


    Lin Yuan smiled and didn''t say anything.


    Du Quan didn''t pay much attention either. Suddenly, he looked surprised and touched Lin Yuan''s shoulders and chest with his hand.


    "Haven''t seen you for half a month, brother, you''ve be quite strong!"


    Du Quan marveled.


    "Really?"


    Lin Yuan wasn''t surprised.


    After all, not long ago, Lin Yuan had just refined twenty-one bottles of ''advanced nutrient solution.''


    Energy conservation principle aside, even though the majority of the energy from the twenty-one bottles of ''advanced nutrient solution'' had been transformed into ''vitality'' and spirit, the physical body had still been affected to some extent.


    This was because Lin Yuan''s martial path emphasized discreet and restrained absorption. If it were another evolver from a different evolutionary path who rashly absorbed so much energy, it wouldn''t be surprising if their height drastically increased, and their body became as strong as an ox. Yet, Lin Yuan only appeared to be somewhat stronger.


    Du Quan marveled for a moment and then pointed to a few people approaching from a distance.


    "Look who''sing."


    Lin Yuan nced over and immediately recognized these people as ssmates from his ss.


    "Just graduated, perfect time to hang out." Du Quan exined.


    He originally wanted to invite Lin Yuan too, but since Lin Yuan wasn''t home, he had to give up.


    At this moment, those people also approached.


    "Lin Yuan, why are you here? Waiting for someone?"


    A bespectacled and schrly-looking young man casually asked.


    "Are you Lin Yuan? Haven''t seen you in a few days; you seem to have changed a lot," a girl said, slightly surprised, eyeing Lin Yuan up and down.


    "Hello, everyone." Lin Yuan greeted as everyone gathered.


    In fact, the original owner of this body was a very silent person. If it weren''t for Du Quan, he wouldn''t have yed with these people at all.


    Among these people, there were mainly two groups.


    One was led by Chu Shi Yu, a schrly young man with sses.


    Chu Shi Yu came from a wealthy family, excelled in academics, and many students were willing to get close to him.


    The other group was led by Huo Qingyao, an extraordinary figure with military connections. He was fearless both in school and outside.


    Du Quan, good at socializing and mediating, yed well with both sides. Due to his righteous character, both Chu Shi Yuand Huo Qingyao gave him face.


    In addition, there were several girls present.


    "Lin Yuan, look who''s here. Our ss flower, who has already been admitted to a prestigious university. I invited her to join us this time. Brother has some face, right?"


    Du Quan pointed to a tall girl and said proudly.


    This girl had well-defined features, wearing simple jeans that outlined her curvy hips and legs.


    It was Zhao Qiwen.


    "Lin Yuan?"


    Zhao Qiwen''s mind was extremely unsettled.


    Ever since she saw the seemingly ordinary Lin Yuan at the Water Moon Residential Area sales office, being respectfully weed into the VIP room, and directly buying a standalone residence worth over ten million, with even Manager Wang showing utmost respect,


    Zhao Qiwen realized that Lin Yuan''s identity was not simple.


    The entire ss, and even the entire school faculty and students, were deceived by Lin Yuan.


    She agreed to Du Quan''s invitation this time because Du Quan usually had the best rtionship with Lin Yuan.


    Maybe Lin Yuan would alsoe. Otherwise, with her personality, how could she participate in such a meaningless gathering?


    But after arriving and finding that Lin Yuan wasn''t there, she felt a bit disappointed. However, seeing Lin Yuan now, her emotions were in turmoil.


    "Hello, ssmate Lin Yuan."


    Zhao Qiwen collected herself and proactively extended her right hand towards Lin Yuan.


    This surprised Du Quan nearby. Zhao Qiwen had always been aloof, not showing any special attention even to second-generation individuals like Huo Qingyao and Chu Shi Yu. How could she take the initiative to shake hands with Lin Yuan?


    "Hello."


    Lin Yuan courteously shook hands.


    After some small talk, they found seats and Chu Shi Yucalled the staff to order the signature coffee for everyone at the caf.


    "Still the generous Brother Yu."


    Du Quan praised beside them.


    The signature coffee in this caf was not cheap, almost thirty per cup. With a total of over two hundred for a few people, it was equivalent to half a month''s living expenses back in school.


    Once seated, they began chatting.


    "This college entrance exam didn''t go well. I chose a third-rate university. I don''t know what to do in the future."


    A girl sighed.


    "That''s easy. You have a good rtionship with Brother Yu, right? After graduation, just work at Brother Yu''s ce."


    Du Quan joked beside her.


    "Me?"


    The girl pretended to be angry, but she was secretly delighted, stealing nces at Chu Shi Yufrom time to time.


    "Du Quan is right. In the future,e to work at mypany, and the treatment will definitely be good." Chu Shi Yuwaved his hand generously.


    In front of ssmates, how could he miss such a high-profile opportunity? Besides, graduation was still far away, and future matters could be discussedter.


    "Then, thank you, Brother Yu."


    The girl hurriedly expressed her gratitude.


    As they chatted over coffee, the conversation naturally turned to Lin Yuan.


    "Speaking of which, Lin Yuan, did you make it onto the conscription list?"


    Huo Qingyao seemed to remember something and asked.


    As soon as this was mentioned, the surroundings fell into silence.


    Everyone''s gaze focused on Lin Yuan.


    In ordinary times, conscription wasn''t a bad thing; it could even lead to job arrangements after service. For normal people, that was considered a good oue.


    However, this time''s conscription was targeted against the alien race. Due to security concerns, those on the conscription list would probably not return. Even if they didn''t die in battle, it would be challenging to see them again in their lifetime.


    "It''s all hearsay. Whether it''s about the alien race or not, it''s just some small talk."


    Du Quan immediately spoke up.


    "Right."


    "The government hasn''t mentioned anything publicly; it might just be a routine conscription."


    "Yes, Lin Yuan, don''t worry too much. After retiring, you might be reassigned back to work in the military district."


    Several people reassured Lin Yuan.


    Of course, it was justforting words.


    In reality, everyone was not optimistic about this conscription.


    Although the government hadn''t clearly stated the purpose of this conscription, all those on the conscription list had already received substantialpensation.


    This wasn''t a secret; anyone with a little curiosity could find out.


    If it were just a regr conscription, why provide so muchpensation?


    "In fact, there might be a turning point. My uncle works in the military district. When I go back tonight, I''ll ask my uncle to see if we can make some flexible arrangements."


    Huo Qingyao spoke up at this moment.


    He was the only one with a military background, and he was the one with the most ''confidence'' to say such things.


    "That would trouble Brother Yao."


    Du Quan immediately said, not as apliment but a heartfelt gratitude.


    As a ssmate and friend for so many years, he didn''t want Lin Yuan to go down an irreversible path.


    Hearing these words, especially the several girls, their eyes lit up.


    Huo Qingyao''s statement hinted at many possibilities, most notably the potential influence on the conscription list. This was a tremendousworking advantage.


    Compared to that, Chu Shi Yu, who had just promised to help arrange a job, seemed insignificant.


    Just a job. How could itpare to Huo Qingyao, who could potentially influence the conscription process in the military district?


    For a moment, all the girls on the scene, except for Zhao Qiwen, including the girl who wanted Chu Shi Yuto arrange a job for her, approached Huo Qingyao.


    Lin Yuan sat on the side, and instead of feeling offended by Huo Qingyao''s boasting, he found it somewhat amusing.


    After all, the conscription list was reviewed by the Goddess of Wisdom. It wasn''t something that could be changed just like that.


    Nevertheless, Huo Qingyao was, in the end, trying to help him. Even if the nature of this help was topete with "Chu Shi Yu" the rivalry between Huo Qingyao and Chu Shi Yu at Lin Yuan''s level was asughable as children ying house.


    "It''s about time. I should go now."


    "Somebody is waiting for me."


    Lin Yuan nced at the time, stood up, and bid farewell.


    Immediately, without waiting for everyone''s agreement, he left the coffee shop and walked towards the roadside.


    "Huh?"


    Seeing this, everyone in the cafe frowned.


    Especially Huo Qingyao. He had promised to go back and ask his uncle. Although there was no guarantee of anything, at least you could say a word of thanks.


    However, Lin Yuan didn''t say anything. He just sat there the whole time and now left with a casual excuse?


    This impolite behavior made Huo Qingyao feel somewhat annoyed.


    "This person..."


    Huo Qingyao, looking through the cafe''s window, watched Lin Yuan''s back and was about to say something when, at that moment, a sleek ck hovercar stopped by the roadside.


    To be precise, it stopped in front of Lin Yuan.


    "The license te of that hovercar?"


    Chu Shi Yualso noticed it and instantly focused on the license te.


    Although Chu Shi Yu''s family didn''t have a military background, they often dealt with the government. He immediately recognized the license te of this ck hovercar as government-exclusive.


    Having such a license te allowed ess to special roads, avoiding potential traffic jams.


    Just that this kind of specially provided hovercar was usually used only when escorting important figures. Now, why was it parked in front of Lin Yuan?


    "A coincidence. It must be a coincidence."


    Chu Shi Yucouldn''t help but think.


    However, the next moment, in the gaze of everyone, a tall man came down from the ck hovercar and respectfully ushered Lin Yuan into the vehicle.


    The crowd fell silent again.


    Originally, they thought Lin Yuan''s statement about "someone waiting for him" was just a casual excuse.


    However, they didn''t expect it to be true, and the person waiting for him came in a government-provided vehicle.


    "This license te belongs to the Evolvers Association. I followed my cousin to the association before and saw simr license tes."


    Chu Shi Yuseemed to recall something and spoke again.


    The Evolvers Association.


    Huo Qingyao''s face changed slightly.


    Among many government departments, the EvolversAssociation was undoubtedly the most challenging to deal with.


    They managed the Evolvermunity, were extremely powerful, and had a significant influence.


    However, the formidable EvolversAssociation sending a specially provided vehicle to pick up a student like Lin Yuan?


    Everyone was puzzled.


    It was entirely illogical.


    "Hahaha, it might be a coincidence. Perhaps there''s some cooperation between the military district and the EvolversAssociation."


    Huo Qingyao racked his brains and gave this reason.


    "That makes sense."


    "That''s the only possibility."


    The others nodded slightly.


    Although this exnation was extremely absurdafter all, the EvolversAssociation and the military district were two different systems it was the only way to make sense of the scene in front of them.


    After all, Lin Yuan had been on the conscription list, and the only rtionship he could have with the EvolversAssociation was through the various military districts behind the conscription.


    "The other day, I checked the conscription notice again and found that Lin Yuan''s name is no longer on the conscription list."


    At this moment, Zhao Qiwen, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.


    With this statement, the entire atmosphere froze.


    Everyone was instantly stunned.


    Especially Huo Qingyao, his expression froze on the spot.


    He wasn''t a fool. He knew how difficult it was to be removed from the conscription list, especially in the case of forced conscription.


    Although he had confidently imed he would inquire with his uncle, it was more of a routine question. He doubted his uncle had any solution. Even if there was a way, the cost would be terrifying, and it was impossible to do it for an outsider.


    But now, Lin Yuan''s name had truly been removed from the list?


    "It''s impossible."


    "I need to consult the Goddess of Wisdom."


    Huo Qingyao immediately connected to thework. Upon finding Lin Yuan''s name missing from the list, he started applying for ess to the Goddess of Wisdom to inquire about why Lin Yuan was exempted from conscription.


    The next moment, a solemn and majestic female voice echoed directly in Huo Qingyao''s ears.


    "Warning, First-tier citizen Huo Qingyao, you are essing content beyond your authorization, suspected of viting Article 560 of the Constitution."


    "Now initiating the first warning. If you continue to ess, you will be brought to trial at the Supreme Court."


    Hearing the cold warning from the Goddess of Wisdom, Huo Qingyao turned pale and was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.


    The Supreme Court of the Cosmic Human Alliance had always been reserved for judging heinous felons who hadmitted severe crimes with extremely detrimental impacts.


    How could someone like Huo Qingyao, who was nothing special, be worthy of the Supreme Court taking the time to judge him?


    Huo Qingyao''s teeth chattered, and his legs couldn''t help but tremble.

 Chapter 22: Warning and test

    Chapter 22: Warning and test


    Goddess of Wisdom , as one of the three ultimate intelligent goddesses of the Cosmic Human Alliance, has one of the highest authorities.


    Even the lofty Star Lords are respectful and dare not show any impatience in front of the three goddesses, fearing that it might diminish their ''evaluation'' by the goddesses.


    Now that the Wisdom Goddess has personally descended into his main consciousness and sternly warned him, Huo Qingyao feels as if the sky is falling.


    "Ah?!"


    Huo Qingyao hasn''t recovered yet when he hears Chu Shi Yu beside him turning pale suddenly.


    His level of shock is no less than that of Huo Qingyao.


    "Did you also check Lin Yuan''s information?"


    Huo Qingyao asked.


    Suddenly turning his head to look at the others, he warned, "Don''t ever try to check Lin Yuan''s personal information."


    Even he, trying to check Lin Yuan''s personal information, received a warning from the Wisdom Goddess. The others should refrain from it even more.


    "Ah?"


    Several girls looked confused.


    Huo Qingyao briefly exined his experience.


    "Why is Lin Yuan''s personal information encrypted by the Wisdom Goddess? What is his background?"


    Chu Shi Yureacted, his expression turning unpleasant.


    Although personal information is considered private in the era of cosmic human civilization, the degree of personal information protection he just encountered is usually only possessed by rare and special individuals or high-level citizens.


    Is Lin Yuan involved in these two aspects?


    "Whatever his background is, I just embarrassed myself this time."


    Huo Qingyao''s face turned slightly red. In front of everyone, he had just confidently promised to ask his uncle to help Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan didn''t need his help at all, and his name had already been removed.


    "Zhao Zhiwen, since you knew early on that Lin Yuan was exempted from conscription, do you know more?"


    Chu Shi Yuseemed to think of something and looked at Zhao Zhiwen.


    The other people''s eyes immediately brightened, focusing on Zhao Zhiwen.


    Indeed, Zhao Zhiwen was the first to say that Lin Yuan was no longer on the conscription list. Obviously, she knows more than they do.


    "I don''t know much."


    Zhao Zhiwen shook her head, hesitated for a moment, and truthfully said, "It''s just that a few days ago, I was part-time at the sales office of the newly opened Water Moonmunity."


    "I found Lin Yuan there, and he directly bought a residence."


    As soon as these words came out, everyone was astonished.


    The Water Moonmunity had quite a reputation; it was advertised heavily during its development. It was undoubtedly a high-end residentialmunity, with prices for a random unit exceeding ten million.


    If Zhao Zhiwen was not lying, Lin Yuan was undoubtedly the richest student in their school.


    Casually throwing away millions, even Chu Shi Yuwould find it difficult to do without utilizing his family''s connections to borrow money.


    It''s not that Chu''s family doesn''t have millions in assets, but Chu Shi Yucan''t represent Chu''s family.


    Huo Qingyao and Chu Shi Yulooked at each other, their expressions quiteplex.


    They''ve been fighting for three years in the ss. Lin Yuan probably witnessed their open and hidden struggles like watching a monkey show.


    There''s one more thing she didn''t mention, that is, the manager of the Water Moon Sales Office treats Lin Yuan with the utmost respect, as if a grandson meets his grandfather.


    Water Moon Real Estate Group is a well-known asset giant with its market spanning dozens of cities around it. The manager has connections with several leaders in Dongning City, but he still behaved in such a respectful manner in front of Lin Yuan.


    Zhao Zhiwen couldn''t help but shudder at the thought that she had been interacting with such a big shot day and night for three years.


    "If..."


    Zhao Zhiwen bit her lip, pondering something.


    "Lin Yuan has such a significant background?"


    Du Quan was a bit dazed. He had known Lin Yuan for three years, but at this moment, he felt like he had never truly understood him.


    Evolver Association.


    A silent ck hovercar arrived.


    The hovercar stopped, and Lin Yuan walked down from it.


    "Is this the Evolver Association?"


    Lin Yuan couldn''t help but feel strange.


    In front of him was a gray building, extremely low-key, and it didn''t even have a sign that said ''Evolver Association.''


    "Is it Mr. Lin Yuan?"


    A woman in a ck dress, the skirt slightly short, only reaching halfway to her knees, revealing fair and slender legs, ran over and inquired.


    "Yes, it''s me."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    "Mr. Lin, pleasee inside."


    Zhu Qianqian stole a nce at Lin Yuan and immediately walked ahead to lead the way.


    She was the staff member who failed to input Lin Yuan''s citizen number in time. Because of this incident, Zhu Qianqian had faced tremendous pressure, and it wouldn''t be an exaggeration to say that she had been living in anxiety.


    If she hadn''t received Lin Yuan''s forgiveness, she would probably have been dismissed by her superiors today.


    "Mr. Lin looks so young," Zhu Qianqian led the way and sneakily nced at Lin Yuan again.


    Following Zhu Qianqian, Lin Yuan entered the gray building and arrived at an elevator.


    Entering the elevator, Zhu Qianqian stood beside Lin Yuan and exined, "Mr. Lin, before registering as an Evolver, you need to undergo an assessment. Finally, based on the assessment results, an Evolver certificate will be awarded."


    "I''m aware of that."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    The Evolver certificate specifies the specific rank, and this can only be determined through a strength assessment.


    Before long, the elevator arrived.


    The two of them took the elevator and arrived at the twenty-second floor.


    Ding. The elevator doors opened.


    Inside were a series of small rooms.


    Constructed of dark gold alloy, neatly divided into two rows.


    "Mr. Lin Yuan''s assessment room is here."


    Zhu Qianqian led Lin Yuan to the door at the very end.


    "Is the assessment conducted in this room?"


    Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.


    "Yes and no."


    Zhu Qianqian nodded and then shook her head.


    She directly pushed open the door.


    Inside was a silver-white metal cabin.


    "This is a virtual world cabin. Mr. Lin will undergo the assessment in the virtual world."


    Zhu Qianqian didn''t beat around the bush and said directly.


    "In the virtual world?"


    Lin Yuan surveyed the room.


    "That''s correct."


    Zhu Qianqian smiled and said, "Powerful Evolvers can easily cause destruction. Are we supposed to allocate a whole just for their strength assessment?"


    "So, Evolver assessments are mostly conducted in the virtual world."


    Zhu Qianqian paused for a moment and continued, "Mr. Lin, you don''t need to worry. Your strength in the virtual world will be perfectly synchronized with your real-world strength."


    "I see."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    Indeed, the strength of Evolvers varied. Those weaker, such as those not yet evolved or at the first or second stage, were not a big issue. They could use a za for their assessment. However, stronger Evolvers like Lin Yuan, capable of casually destroying this gray building beneath him, and even stronger ones at the second, third, or fourth-fifth stages, would require immense resources for their assessment.


    Therefore, cing the assessment location in the virtual world was the most efficient approach.


    In the virtual world, everything was simted.


    Even simting an entire gxy was not a difficult task.

 Chapter 23

    Chapter 23


    Qiushen spoke to Lin Yuan again, giving him some precautions when using the virtual world cabin.


    He respectfully exited the room.


    "Virtual world cabin."


    Lin Yuan carefully observed for a while and theny down.


    Buzz


    A slight ripple passed through.


    Lin Yuan only felt a slight tingling on his skin, and then he heard the voice saying, "Replicationplete, please connect to the virtual world, Evolver."


    "Wee to the assessment world."


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes and saw a stern man looking at him.


    "Assessment world?"


    Lin Yuan immediately assessed himself.


    Physical strength, the cirction of elemental power in his body, and the spiritual power in the Niwan Pce in his mindall were no different from his external body.


    "The Human Alliance is truly formidable."


    Lin Yuan was secretly surprised. Such perfect replication meant that he had no secrets.


    "No."


    "The Gateway to the Myriad Realms hasn''t been replicated."


    Lin Yuan seemed to realize something and focused his mind deep into his thoughts.


    In the position where the Gateway to the Myriad Realms should have stood, there was nothing.


    "Even the Human Alliance can''t replicate the Gateway to the Myriad Realms?"


    "Or is it that they can''t even detect the existence of the Gateway to the Myriad Realms?"


    While relieved, Lin Yuan couldn''t help but specte.


    "Evolver, please choose your assessment scene," said the stern man nearby, suddenly breaking the silence.


    As soon as he finished speaking, scenes appeared before Lin Yuan.


    There were deserts with miles of yellow sand, forests with ancient trees, and cities with towering buildings.


    "Just the desert."


    Lin Yuan randomly chose one.


    "Scene confirmed." The stern man waved his hand.


    The surrounding environment changed instantly, and Lin Yuan found himself in a desert, with endless yellow sand and scorching heat.


    "ording to the energy fluctuations in the Evolver''s body, this assessment will start directly from the first stage."


    "First, you have to defeat the opponent at the first stage. Only then will you qualify for the next assessment."


    "Understand?"


    The stern man looked calmly at Lin Yuan.


    "Understood."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    Swoosh.


    The stern man disappeared.


    Not far away, arge expanse of yellow sand quickly gathered, forming a humanoid figure.


    This was a tall man with dark skin, and a fierce ck horn grew on his forehead.


    "Die for me."


    The man with the ck horn didn''t say a word, striding towards Lin Yuan.


    "His speed is a bit faster than an ordinary master, but he''s not a threat to me."


    Lin Yuan remained calm.


    ording to the stern man, the assessments progressed from weak to strong. The first opponent''s strength was at the first stage. Only by defeating him could Lin Yuan face a second-stage opponent.


    Crack.


    The man with the ck horn suddenly stopped, his gaze dimming instantly, and his body turned back into yellow sand and dissipated.


    Lin Yuan stood still, without even moving.


    In the face of an opponent whose strength was far below his own, the fastest way to defeat him was to use spiritual martial arts.


    With Lin Yuan''s ''spiritual'' strength at the Unrestrained RealmRealm, he could instantly crush the opponent''s spiritual soul.


    Exhale.


    The yellow sand gathered again.


    This time, Lin Yuan''s opponent was once again the man with the ck horn.


    However, this time the ck-horned man''s aura had increased, reaching a level close to the peak of a master.


    However.


    Whether it was a master or a Great Grandmaster, it was just a matter of perspective for Lin Yuan.


    Just like that.


    In a few breaths.


    He faced the ninth opponent.


    This time, the opponent was still the man with the ck horn.


    However,pared to the previous eight opponents, this time the ck-horned man''s gaze was deep. After materializing, he did not immediately attack Lin Yuan.


    "An Evolving path like a Spiritual Master?"


    "I specifically strengthened my soul defense this time. I can exempt 60% of your spiritual attacks."


    The man with the ck horn revealed a cruel smile.


    Although he was only an intelligent life simted from arge amount of data, he had basic emotions. Anyone would feel ufortable after being instantly crushed eight times.


    "Die for me."


    After the man with the ck horn spoke, he strode towards Lin Yuan again.


    But in the next moment.


    Crack.


    A slender right hand, holding his neck at some point, twisted it with force.


    "Who told you that I only have spiritual attack methods?"


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    For Evolvers on the martial arts evolutionary path, the most fundamental aspect was always the physical body. As for spiritual powers? They were just powers born from a powerful physical body.


    "You, aren''t you an Evolver like a Spiritual Master?"


    The man with the ck horn was incredulous, then once again turned into yellow sand.


    Evolvers like Spiritual Masters possessed mysterious spiritual attack methods. However, in terms of the physical body, they were indeedcking. Even powerful Spiritual Masters, who tried to bnce both paths by taking gic drugs, found it challenging to eliminate this disadvantage.


    Evolvers Association.


    After leaving the assessment room, Zhu Qianqian returned to her workstation.


    "I wonder which stage Mr. Lin''s Evolver rank will be fixed at."


    Zhu Qianqian was quite curious, staring intently at the screen in front of her.


    To protect the privacy of Evolvers, the battle scenes that urred during their assessments were not allowed to be disclosed to the outside world.


    Therefore, even internal staff like Zhu Qianqian couldn''t watch the specific assessment content.


    They could only determine the Evolver''s progress by the number of illuminated columns on the real screen, indicating how many stages the Evolver had sessfully passed.


    "Little Zhu, has Mr. Lin already entered?"


    Shortly after Zhu Qianqian sat down, the President of the Evolvers Association walked over.


    In his capacity as the President of the Evolvers Association, there was no need for him to pay attention to the assessment of a specific Evolver.


    However, Lin Yuan was not just an Evolver; he was also a Second-tier Citizen.


    Even if someone didn''t hold an official position, the status of a Second-tier Citizen wouldn''t be lower than that of the Association President.


    In addition, this particr Second-tier Citizen was someone the President had never heard of before. Therefore, he came over specifically to wait and meet Lin Yuan after the assessment, to establish connections.


    Regardless of the reasons, befriending a Second-tier Citizen would definitely not be a mistake.


    "Ah? President."


    Zhu Qianqian immediately stood up nervously, stammering, "Mr. Lin has already entered."


    "Don''t be nervous."


    The President of the Evolvers Association was in a good mood.


    "Good."


    Zhu Qianqian steadied herself and sat back at her workstation.


    "Little Zhu, where do you think Mr. Lin will be ced?"


    The President of the Evolvers Association also became interested and casually asked.


    "Mr. Lin is a Second-tier Citizen. Since he came to register, he must have at least the strength of the first stage."


    Zhu Qianqian said cautiously.


    For ordinary people, bing an Evolver was extremely difficult.


    But in the eyes of higher-tier citizens, there were many methods, and the simplest was to buy a bottle of gic elixir and follow the ''Gic Warrior'' evolutionary path.


    Although Gic Warriors had significant drawbacks andcked potential, relying heavily on external substances, they were undoubtedly Evolvers.


    "Exactly."


    The President of the Evolvers Association nodded slightly.


    He also thought that Lin Yuan definitely had the strength of the first stage; it was impossible for him to still be a non-ranked Evolver.


    Typically, higher-tier citizens were likely Evolvers, but many weaker Evolvers remained First-tier Citizens.


    "In my opinion, Mr. Lin will likely be ced in the first stage, between the second and third stages."


    The secretary next to the President, who was following him, spoke up.


    This spection made the President of the Evolvers Association nod again.


    Higher-tier citizens finding it easy to be Evolvers was one thing, but bing powerful Evolvers was another, and it had its own set of challenges.


    And this challengey between the first stage third tier and fourth stage.


    In the first twelve stages, every three stages formed a bottleneck. To advance from the third stage to the fourth stage, it required not only hard work and effort but also a certain level of talent.


    Higher-tier citizens might have extraordinary abilities in other aspects, allowing them to contribute to human civilization and gain recognition from the Goddess of Wisdom.


    But talent in evolution was something money couldn''t buy.


    Using gic elixirs could forcibly enhance abilities, but there was a certain risk of death. Higher-tier citizens wouldn''t y with their lives.


    "Little Zhang is right."


    The President of the Evolvers Association looked approvingly at his secretary.


    Zhu Qianqian, listening nearby, had no objections.


    Although she had a favorable impression of Lin Yuan, strength was strength.


    "After Mr. Lin finishes the assessment, remember to let me know."


    The President of the Evolvers Association was about to leave.


    Just then, on the screen in front of Zhu Qianqian, the first column suddenly lit up.


    "It seems Mr. Lin has started the assessment."


    Seeing this, the President decided not to leave, intending to wait for Lin Yuan''s assessment to finish.


    In the President''s opinion, Lin Yuan, at most, had the strength of the first stage third tier. Passing three stages would be sufficient.


    However, what happened next left the President of the Evolvers Association stunned.


    On the screen, after the first column lit up, the second column instantly followed.


    Then came the third.


    The fourth.


    The fifth.


    Until the twelfth.


    Almost within a few breaths.


    All twelve columns were lit up.


    At this moment, the President of the Evolvers Association hadn''t even fully taken his seat.


    "This is the twelfth stage?"


    Zhu Qianqian widened her eyes, and the President beside her was also somewhat astonished.


    ...

    Chapter 24


    "Twelfth stage?"


    "First rank twelfth stage?"


    The President of the Evolvers Association was somewhat bewildered.


    He wasn''t surprised by the first rank twelfth stage itself.


    Even though it was powerful, they would still be among the top echelons of the entire Dongning City. However, given the President''s remarkable background, even if Lin Yuan was a genuine second stage Evolver, he had encountered such individuals before.


    What shocked the President of the Evolvers Association was that Lin Yuan had the strength of the first stage twelfth stage during his first registration at the association.


    It''s worth noting that the evolution of an Evolver requires a gradual progression.


    It''s impossible to be at the first rank today and jump to the second rank tomorrow.


    The Universal Human Alliance has strict standards for categorizing Evolvers based on their strength.


    Compared to first rank Evolvers, second rank Evolvers have energy fluctuations in their bodies that are over a hundred times greater.


    Such a huge gap is difficult to bridge in a short period.


    Yet, Lin Yuan showed up for registration at the association with the strength of the first rank twelfth stage.


    The President of the Evolvers Association had two spections about this.


    One was that Lin Yuan had been hiding his abilities very well.


    He might have be an Evolver a long time ago but refrained from registering until now, umting strength up to the first rank twelfth stage.


    This possibility was not very likely.


    Given the Human Alliance''s control over Evolvers, an Evolver who hadn''t registered and revealed their abilities would face penalties if discovered. Even if Lin Yuan, as a Second-tier Citizen, could avoid punishment, the President of the Evolvers Association would have known about it.


    The second spection was that Lin Yuan''s evolutionary talent was exceptionally terrifying.


    Going from the first rank first stage to the twelfth stage might have taken only a few years, perhaps less than ten.


    A first rank Evolver, coupled with the Human Alliance''s longevity technology, could easily live for five hundred years. Thus, a few years would be a rtively short time.


    The President of the Evolvers Association leaned toward the second spection.


    In contrast to the President''s calm analysis and contemtion, Zhu Qianqian, standing beside him, had her mouth slightly agape.


    Oh my.


    This was a twelfth stage Evolver.


    She had been working here for almost two years and had never seen a twelfth stage Evolver.


    In a ce like Dongning City, a first rank twelfth stage Evolver was already considered the pinnacle, and their numbers wereparable to Second-tier Citizens. It wasn''t something you could easilye across.


    Moreover, this twelfth stage Evolver looked no different from an ordinary person like Lin Yuan.


    This contrast made Zhu Qianqian find it even more incredible.


    To think that, ording to the official standards, a first rank twelfth stage Evolver hadbat capabilities sufficient to destroy buildings tens of meters high with a single strike.


    Just thinking about the immense power contained within Lin Yuan''s body made Zhu Qianqian find it unbelievable.


    "Let''s go."


    "Let''s go meet Mr. Lin."


    In just two breaths of consideration, the President of the Evolvers Association decided to personally go to the assessment room and wait for Lin Yuan to appear.


    Initially, he had only nned to meet Lin Yuan and establish a good rtionship.


    But now, specting on the terrifying Evolver talent of the other party, the President felt that he needed to lower his stance a bit.


    Assessment room.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes and got up from the virtual world capsule.


    "Unfortunately."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    After dealing with the twelfth opponent, the assessment space condensed an opponent of the second stage. Lin Yuan didn''t withdraw; instead, he wanted to see how much gap existed between him and those second-rank Evolvers.


    The result was obvious.


    In just three moves, Lin Yuan was defeated.


    "Second rank."


    Countless insights shed in Lin Yuan''s mind. Under the influence of his extraordinaryprehension, he began to slowly understand the essence of the second rank.


    Merely by battling a second-rank Evolver, he startedprehending the second rank''s nature. If this were to be known, countless Evolvers might m their heads into walls out of frustration.


    Compared to Lin Yuan, most Evolvers seemed to be living like dogs.


    However, for Lin Yuan, this was ordinary.


    With his extraordinaryprehension, Lin Yuan was constantly in a state of enlightenment. Even if he didn''t engage with second-rank Evolvers,prehending the second rank realm was inevitableit was just a matter of time.


    "The general direction is clear now. I can break through in less than five years."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    This visit to the Evolvers Association turned out to be very fruitful. Not only did he register, but he also gained insights into the path ahead.


    p.


    Lin Yuan pushed the door open.


    He saw Zhu Qianqian and a middle-aged man waiting outside.


    "Mr. Lin, this is our president."


    Zhu Qianqian immediately introduced.


    "The president?"


    Lin Yuan looked at the middle-aged man.


    The president of the Evolvers Association was undoubtedly a significant figure, likely ranking in the top five in the entire Dongning City.


    "My surname is Liao."


    The middle-aged man stepped forward and cordially said, "What president? You can just call me Brother Liao, Mr. Lin, if you don''t mind."


    President Liao spoke warmly.


    After chatting for a while, Lin Yuan took his leave.


    President Liao personally escorted Lin Yuan outside.


    The next day, Lin Yuan returned home.


    "Tomorrow, be a bit more sweet-tongued. Even though you are now an Evolver, you shouldn''t appear too indifferent. Those are rtives, and even as an Evolver, you still need to show some social skills. Maybe you''ll need those rtives'' help in the future."


    While preparing dinner, Lin Yuan''s mother, Lu Qiong, reminded him.


    "I know."


    After finishing their meal, Lin Yuan, along with his younger sister, turned his attention to therge bag of snacks nearby.


    Tomorrow was the family feast, and Lin Yuan''s distant rtives woulde to congratte him on bing an Evolver and gather for a celebration.


    Lin Yuan remembered this event, as his father, Lin Shou Cheng, had mentioned it a few days ago.


    "Ah, Lao Lin, should we book a few tables at the Starry Sky Hotel?"


    Lu Qiong hesitated a bit as booking a table at the Starry Sky Hotel, one of the highest-rated hotels in Donghai City, would cost Lin Shou Cheng''s several months'' sry.


    Lu Qiong was a bit reluctant.


    "Book it. We must book it at the Starry Sky."


    Lin Shou Cheng answered directly without hesitation.


    "This time, Uncle Nian has specifically invited Lin Hao. He is the secretary of a certain bureau in our Dongning City. We can''t lose face in front of him."


    Lin Shou Cheng spoke.


    "Lin Hao..."


    Lu Qiong was a bit absent-minded.


    In terms of social status, Lin Hao and their family were inpletely different sses. Usually, Lin Shou Cheng didn''t even have a chance to meet Lin Hao.


    Unexpectedly, due to Lin Yuan bing an Evolver, they had invited this esteemed guest.


    "In that case, we should indeed book it at the Starry Sky."


    Lu Qiong nodded.


    In her simple mindset, since Lin Hao was willing to take the time toe, they should naturally entertain him properly.


    It was worth spending a little more money.


    In Dongning City, inside a luxurious mansion, Chu Shi Yu stood with his head lowered. Before him sat a man with a beard.


    "You tried to investigate your ssmate''s information, and the main consciousness of the Wisdom Goddess warned you?"


    The man with a beard asked again with a serious expression.


    "Yes."


    "Grandfather, I didn''t mean to."


    Chu Shi Yu''s face turned pale, and his legs were trembling. The man with the beard sitting in front of him was the founder of the Chu family.


    He had called Chu Shi Yuover today to inquire about why he had been warned by the main consciousness of the Wisdom Goddess.


    Chu Shi Yucould only answer truthfully.


    "The severity of this incident is beyond imagination. Although it may seem unrted, being able to receive such personal information protection from the Wisdom Goddess means that your ssmate has an extraordinary background."


    "Even if you didn''t specifically target him, if he cares about it, it will be troublesome."


    "Tomorrow, I''ll take you to visit your ssmate''s home."


    The man with the beard made a decision.


    He was not overly cautious without reason; the seriousness of the matter exceeded expectations.


    The Wisdom Goddess, who ruled the entire Universal Human Alliance, was not someone to be taken lightly, even by the Chu family.


    In the face of everything rted to the Wisdom Goddess, no amount of caution was too much.


    "Alright, alright."


    Chu Shi Yuforced a response.


    In another estate, Huo Qingyao stood upright andmunicated through video with a man dressed in military attire, a stern-faced man.


    "Wisdom Goddess, your ssmate, I guess he has already been included in the Goddess''s watchlist. He will definitely have significant development in the future."


    "Great development."


    The man in military attire on the other end of the video slowly said.


    "Great development?"


    Huo Qingyao''s head shrank.


    Being evaluated by his eldest uncle like this meant that Lin Yuan''s achievements in the future would far exceed the limits of Dongning City.


    "You brat really knows how to cause trouble."


    "Alright, I''ll run an errand for you."


    "No matter what development your ssmate has in the future, first, the rtionship between you two needs to be eased."


    "When you boasted the other day about mobilizing the conscription list, even someone with a little insight would see it as an extravagant im."


    "Tomorrow, I''ll take you to apologize."


    The man in military attire on the other end of the video spoke.


    Evolvers Association.


    President Liao sat in his chair.


    Before long, his secretary walked in.


    "Have you found out the background of that Mr. Lin?"


    President Liao asked, looking up.


    "President, Mr. Lin''s personal information is blocked by the main consciousness of the Wisdom Goddess. I didn''t dare to continue investigating to avoid any trouble."


    The secretary said directly.


    "Goddess''s blockade?"


    President Liao''s expression became serious.


    It was inconceivable for the Wise Goddess to specifically block the information of a citizen, even if he was a second-level citizen. There must be other reasons.


    "However, although I couldn''t investigate Mr. Lin, I found information about his parents."


    "Mr. Lin''s parents are natives of Dongning City and have no significant connections elsewhere."


    The secretary suddenly said.


    "So, Mr. Lin is also from Dongning City?"


    A glint shed in President Liao''s eyes.


    "President, what do you mean?"


    Seeing this, the secretary immediately guessed what was happening and couldn''t help but ask.


    "Whether he can seed or not, I need to personally ask."


    "In that case, postpone everything for tomorrow. I will personally visit Mr. Lin''s home and have a detailed conversation with him."


    President Liao said solemnly.

    ...


    Star Hotel.


    Early in the morning, Mr. and Mrs. Lin Shoucheng (mc''s father) stood at the door of the private room.


    As one of the most high-end hotels in Dongning City, Star Hotel was expensive, but there was nothing toin about in terms of service or the quality of the dishes.


    The banquet celebrating their son bing an evolver was booked here, adding to the prestige.


    "Uncle Tang, you''re here."


    "Sit here, please."


    "Is this your daughter? She has grown so much in the blink of an eye."


    "Uncle Nian, please walk slower. Inside, please. If it weren''t for you back then, I wouldn''t know where I''d be now."


    Lin Shoucheng didn''t have a moment to spare, constantly exchanging pleasantries at the door.


    Half an hourter.


    Almost everyone had arrived.


    The family banquet officially began.


    Everyone sat down to eat and drink.


    Lin Yuan sat at the main seat, and his chopsticks never stopped.


    Star Hotel''s sess in Dongning City was not only due to influential backers but also its own excellent conditions.


    Many of the ingredients at Star Hotel came from others, and many meats were from rare exotic beasts, surpassing the quality and taste of locally raised meats in Dongning City.


    Although the energy contained in these meats was not as high as advanced nutrient solutions, it exceeded ordinary meals. Lin Yuan enjoyed the food very much.


    During the banquet.


    Apart from Lin Yuan, everyone didn''t just focus on eating.


    The main activity was chatting and socializing.


    Among them, those who had done well in life were the most active.


    Lin Shoucheng''s distant cousin, Lin Jiye, had caught the trend in Dongning City, bought somend in the suburbs, and eventually made a fortune through government development projects. He was truly enjoying sess.


    "Let me tell you, I''ve seen the owner of Star Hotel a few times. It''s a woman, they say."


    Lin Jiye immediately began to show off his connections.


    His words did attract the attention of most people present.


    The owner of Star Hotel had always been mysterious, and few people had seen her. Everyone was secretly specting about who this big shot might be.


    "Oh, by the way."


    "Shoucheng, what are your ns for your son, Xiao Yuan, in the future?"


    After chatting about the owner of Star Hotel, Lin Jiye suddenly looked at Lin Yuan, who was eating and drinking.


    As soon as this statement was made.


    Everyone''s attention immediately focused on Lin Yuan.


    After all, today''s family banquet was initiated because of Lin Yuan. And Lin Yuan bing an evolver indeed exceeded the expectations of his rtives.


    Apart from that, just considering Lin Yuan''s future development, it was bound to be extraordinary. Most of the rtives present could only look up to him.


    "I haven''t really thought about it. I''ll take it step by step."


    Lin Yuan paused, put down his chopsticks, and spoke truthfully.


    That was indeed the truth. So far, Lin Yuan didn''t have any specific goals.


    If anything, it was to be as strong as possible. However, stating this intention was like not saying anything at all, as who wouldn''t want to be stronger?


    "How about joining mypany? Although your uncle''spany isn''t big, as long as youe, I''ll pay you twenty thousand a month."


    Lin Jiye said, patting his chest.


    Twenty thousand a month?


    The rtives around them showed envious looks one after another.


    Twenty thousand a month, which amounted to two hundred and forty thousand a year, was already considered a high sry. The normal monthly sry for an average citizen was about two to three thousand.


    "How about it?"


    "Don''t feel like you''re settling."


    "Ourpany has also hired an evolver, responsible for security-rted work."


    "Bying over, not only can you earn money monthly, but you can also consult him on evolutionary matters."


    Lin Jiye said confidently.


    For ordinary people, evolvers were extremely rare.


    But in the eyes of wealthy bosses, there was a specific channel for hiring evolvers.


    Of course, they only hired evolvers who had not reached the rank. Evolvers who had reached a higher stage were not affordable for small bosses like Lin Jiye.


    Even so.


    Lin Jiye''s words greatly elevated his status in the minds of the rtives present.


    Someone immediately asked, "Jiye, is yourpany still hiring? My son is currently looking for a job."


    "No need for a sry of twenty thousand, five thousand is enough."


    "Five thousand? Third aunt, your son didn''t graduate from a prestigious school. How dare you ask for five thousand?"


    "Jiye, my daughter is beautiful and has a good figure. She would be perfect for the front desk in yourpany."


    Unconsciously, Lin Jiye reced Lin Yuan and became the focus of the banquet.


    And Lin Jiye also acted very politely, smiling in response to the ttery from many rtives.


    Lin Yuan paid no attention to this, picked up his chopsticks again, and watched Lin Jiye''s performance while eating.


    Don''t be fooled by Lin Jiye''s current enthusiastic appearance; he might y dead after the banquet.


    Just now, Lin Yuan casually essed thework and, using his second-ss citizen privileges, roughly checked Lin Jiye''s financial situation.


    Indeed, he had apany and had employed an evolver who had not reached the first rank.


    However, this evolver, who hadn''t reached the first rank, had voluntarily resigned several years ago.


    The reason was that Lin Jiye had repeatedly withheld wages, and the matter almost escted to the Evolver Association.


    One could imagine that Lin Jiye might have been wealthy before, but his current financial situation was probably not great.


    How could he afford to hire another evolver?


    Of course, Lin Yuan saw through it without exposing it, but Lin Shoucheng and Lu Qiong thought the other party was sincere and asionally chatted with Lin Jiye about work details.


    At this moment, Lin Hao, sitting in the main seat, suddenly spoke, "Little Yuan is still so young. Even if he bes an evolver, there''s no need to enter the workforce so early."


    Lin Hao spoke, and the scene fell into silence.


    Even Lin Jiye, who had been talking big just now, immediately shut up.


    Among all the people participating in the family banquet, Lin Hao undoubtedly had the highest status.


    As the secretary of a certain bureau chief in Dongning City, Lin Hao''s participation in this family banquet even shocked Lin Shoucheng.


    "Brother Hao, what do you mean?"


    Lin Shoucheng asked in a low voice.


    "Our bureau has a spot for someone to study at a higher education institution this year, and only an evolver can apply."


    After contemting for a while, Lin Hao spoke, "So, in a while, Little Yuan will participate in the bureau''s interview, and after he is hired, I will transfer the spot to him."


    Going to a higher education institution as an evolver would undoubtedly receive preferential treatment from that institution, which waspletely different from the treatment ordinary students received.


    Therefore, this spot was highly sought after by the evolvers in Lin Hao''s bureau.


    But this matter was something Lin Hao could decide. Although he wasn''t an evolver, he was the secretary of the bureau chief and supervised several evolvers.


    Originally, Lin Hao had nned to leave this opportunity for his own son.


    But his son wasn''t ambitious enough. Despite seeking guidance from several evolvers, he still hadn''t be an evolver.


    Now, it seemed that the spot might end up with the other evolvers in the bureau.


    But unexpectedly, a distant rtive''s family had produced an evolver?


    Lin Hao''s idea was simple; since his own family had no chance at this spot, he might as well give it to Lin Yuan. At least, in the future, Lin Yuan would remember his distant uncle.


    After all, everyone was family, no matter how you put it.


    "Oh? Is this spot valuable?"


    Lin Shoucheng was a bit confused.


    Although he wasn''t an evolver, he didn''t understand the difficulty of obtaining a spot for higher education as an evolver.


    But for ordinary people, entering a higher education institution was extremely difficult. How could Lin Hao''s son just get in with a single sentence?


    "No problem."


    "Just listen to me when the timees."


    "Lin Hao doesn''t mind," he said.


    Giving the spot to Lin Yuan could be considered a windfall. It served Lin Hao''s son right for not being ambitious enough.


    Thinking of this, Lin Hao nced at his son sitting beside him.


    "This is from Brother Hao, thank you, thank you."


    Lin Shoucheng felt joy in his heart and immediately stood up to express his gratitude.


    "Xiao Yuan, why aren''t you thanking your uncle?" Lin Shoucheng red at Lin Yuan.


    "Thank you, Uncle."


    Lin Yuan spoke calmly.


    To be honest, Lin Yuan wasn''t interested in furthering his education at a higher institution. He believed that spending time on deepening his understanding of martial arts evolution, pushing the evolutionary path to higher levels, would earn him more merits established by the Goddess of Wisdom.


    By umting merits, he could raise his citizen level. This seemed more worthwhile than pursuing formal education.


    However, this was Lin Hao''s goodwill, and if he refused on the spot, not only would Lin Hao lose face, but his parents might also be displeased.


    "Hmph, you''ve received such a great benefit, and you still act like this. What are you pretending for?"


    Lin Yan, who had been sitting next to Lin Hao without saying a word, felt extremely ufortable.


    Logically, the spot should have been his; after all, he was Lin Hao''s son. Who else should receive such a great benefit if not him?


    However, due to the incident with bing an evolver, he couldn''t get the spot. He had already prepared himself for it, but he didn''t expect his father to give the spot to a distant rtive.


    The thought of Lin Yuan enjoying everything that originally belonged to him in the future, going to a higher education institution, made Lin Yan extremely uneasy.


    "You useless thing, you couldn''t even be an evolver and yet you dare criticize others."


    Lin Hao furrowed his brows, staring at his son. He was almost about to p him.


    Others, upon hearing this, disyed strange expressions on their faces.


    It was evident that there was an internal issue within Lin Hao''s family. Now, it involved Lin Shoucheng''s family, making the situation quite interesting.


    Lin Shoucheng''s face turned somewhat red, unsure of what to say.


    Normally, he should have spoken up immediately, stating that his family didn''t need that spot, to ease the rtionship between Lin Hao and his son.


    But he was reluctant to give up the spot.


    The atmosphere became awkward.


    Just then, a staff member from Star Hotel suddenly barged in, looking a bit nervous. "Excuse me, is Mr. Lin Yuan here?"


    This statement immediately shattered the atmosphere.


    "He''s here."


    "Is there something wrong?"


    Lin Shoucheng stepped forward to answer.


    The staff member immediately said, "Someone wants to visit Mr. Lin Yuan."


    This statement left Lin Shoucheng puzzled.


    Someone wanted to visit his son? Hadn''t all the guests for the family banquet arrived already? Who could being at this time?

 Chapter 26

    Chapter 26


    "Who''s looking for my son?" Lin Shoucheng asked as he stood up.


    Internally, he once again went through the calctions, confirming that all the rtives who should be present were indeed there, without any omissions. Could it be that some rtive had a spontaneous idea and came without informing them in advance? Lin Shoucheng couldn''t help but be suspicious.


    "It''s Mr. Chu," the staff member said, letting out a sigh of relief.


    There was no choice; Chu Corporation and Star Hotel had a long-standing coboration. The founder of Chu Corporation personallying and saying he wanted to find Mr. Lin Yuan had startled her.


    Fortunately, the person was indeed here.


    "Mr. Chu?" The crowd at the family banquet was slightly stunned.


    Surname Chu? They weren''t part of the Lin family?


    As everyone was silently discussing this, a bearded man, apanied by a young man of seventeen or eighteen, walked in.


    Although the bearded man''s attire was ordinary, the demeanor he exuded casually was not something an ordinary person could match. It resembled those in power and authority.


    "Is he, is he the founder of Chu Corporation?"


    Someone in the crowd seemed to recall something, couldn''t help but exim.


    In the interster era, with advancedworking, photos of citizens with even a bit of fame were circted. Chu Corporation, being among the top fifty enterprises in the whole Dongning City, naturally had great fame. Even if the founder tried to keep a low profile, it was impossible for no one to recognize him.


    "The founder of Chu Corporation?"


    "My goodness! This is a big figure in our Dongning City."


    "It''s said that Chu Corporation''s assets are tens of billions, and the founder is a well-known tycoon in several nearby cities."


    "Such a big shot is here to find Lin Yuan?"


    People at the banquet started discussing, and some even connected to thework immediately,paring the bearded man in front of them with the photos online.


    "Director Chu."


    Lin Jiye rushed over, full of excitement, and stood in front of the bearded man. "We met six years ago. At that time, thend in the suburbs was still purchased by your group."


    "Yeah," the bearded man responded indifferently.


    In reality, he didn''t remember Lin Jiye at all.


    "Is Secretary Lin here too?"


    The bearded man swept his gaze around and, seeing Lin Hao sitting in the main seat, nodded slightly as a greeting.


    Then, he pulled the seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, Chu Shiyu, who was behind him, to quickly walk in front of Lin Yuan.


    "Mr. Lin, my junior here acted rashly. I hope you won''t hold it against him."


    The bearded man presented himself in a very humble posture, without the airs of an elder.


    "No problem."


    Lin Yuan nced at Chu Shiyu, who was standing awkwardly beside him, recalling the recent encounter in the coffee shop. He shook his head and said, "How did you find this ce?"


    "I originally nned to bring Shiyu to visit Mr. Lin''s home in person today. However, after we went there, we heard from others that Mr. Lin and his family were hosting a family banquet at Star Hotel, so we followed over."


    The bearded man exined truthfully.


    "I see."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly. The family banquet organized by his father, Lin Shouye, was not a secret. Most neighbors in themunity knew about it; at least six or seven out of ten were aware.


    "This is a little token of my congrattions for Mr. Lin bing an Evolver."


    The bearded man handed over an envelope with a touch of respect.


    His reverence wasn''t for Lin Yuan''s status as an EvolverEvolvers were rare but not unheard of, and even Chu Corporation, the bearded man''s group, employed a group of them. The bearded man''s true apprehension stemmed from the favoritism the Goddess of Wisdom showed towards Lin Yuan. Even searching for rted information could trigger warnings from the goddess.


    It wasmon knowledge that Lin Yuan was extraordinary. Other people searching for a business founder like him would not receive any warnings.


    "Understood," Lin Yuan said nonchntly.


    He hadn''t taken the incident at the coffee shop to heart; in fact, nothing significant had happened. What Lin Yuan didn''t know was the impact his conversation with the bearded man had in the eyes of the rtives present.


    Originally, upon recognizing the bearded man''s identity, some people suspected that they might have found the wrong person. Perhaps the ''Mr. Lin Yuan'' the bearded man was looking for was simply someone with the same name as Lin Shouye''s son.


    However, when the bearded man walked up to Lin Yuan, and the two engaged in a conversation, everyone realized there was no misunderstanding. The founder of Chu Corporation was indeed seeking Lin Yuan.


    "Lin Yuan."


    Lin Jiye''s expression changed, vaciting between light and shadow. Moments ago, he had nned to give Lin Yuan an opportunity to work for him, even offering a monthly sry of twenty thousand. However, now, the founder of Chu Corporation, who was once someone Lin Jiye could only look up to, stood before Lin Yuan in a humble posture.


    "My nephew."


    Sitting at the main seat, Lin Hao fell into contemtion. In the eyes of others, the bearded man was a big shot. However, for Lin Hao, he was just a businessman, a bigger one perhaps. What astonished Lin Hao was that, no matter how well-off the bearded man was, how could he speak to Lin Yuan in such a manner?


    Dong Dong Dong.


    The private room door was knocked again.


    "Is this Mr. Lin Yuan''s room?"


    A strong and resonant voice echoed.


    Again, someoneing to find Lin Yuan? With the example of the bearded man, no one dared to underestimate it. Lin Shouye personally went forward to open the door, and in the sight of everyone, a man with a straight posture entered the room. Behind him was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth, none other than Huo Qingyao.


    "Who is this person?"


    People at the family banquet began connecting to thework but found no relevant information.


    "This shouldn''t be a big shot, right?"


    Everyone felt a slight relief.


    The stimulus from the bearded man had made everyone uneasy, thinking Lin Yuan had some formidable identity. Now, it seemed they had overthought it, and the bearded man''s attitude towards Lin Yuan might have been a coincidence.


    Just when everyone was putting down the anxiety they held, Lin Hao, who had been sitting in the main seat and even had to bow his head to greet the bearded man, suddenly stood up.


    "Huo Daxiao?"


    Lin Hao''s voice carried a hint of disbelief.


    Military district information was usually kept confidential, and ordinary people without certain permissions couldn''t easily find it on thework. However, Lin Hao was different. As the secretary of the bureau, his authority was much greater, and he had ess to more information.


    "Secretary Lin?"


    Huo Yanming nced at Lin Hao and nodded in acknowledgment. Then he stepped aside, making way for another figure to gracefully walk in.


    "President Liao?"


    If seeing Huo Yanming had shocked Lin Hao, then seeing the person behind Huo Yanming made Lin Hao''s scalp tingle.


    President Liao.


    Chairman of the Evolver Association in Dongning City.


    A second-tier citizen, in terms of identity and status, he could easily rank in the top five in Dongning City.


    Such a significant figure, even Lin Hao''s boss, the director, would greet him cautiously if they met.


    "Could it be..."


    "President Liao is also here to find Little Yuan?"


    An unthinkable thought suddenly shed through Lin Hao''s mind.


    ...

    :D


    ...


    Lin Hao''s spection was correct. President Liao did indeede to find Lin Yuan. As for the purpose, it was certainly more than just congrattions.


    Lin Hao, being insightful, immediately stood up and took the lead when he heard that President Liao wanted to discuss important matters with Lin Yuan. He arranged for everyone else to leave, leaving only Lin Yuan and President Liao in the private room.


    As the secretary of the bureau, Lin Hao, with his high authority, wasn''t intimidated by the military district colonel, Huo Yanming. The others, naturally, didn''t dare to voice any objections and exited the room one after another.


    Inside the private room, Lin Yuan and President Liao sat facing each other.


    "Mr. Lin, I came to you this time with a request," President Liao stated directly.


    "Please go ahead, President."


    Lin Yuan replied with a serious tone.


    The arrivals of Chu family members and Huo family members made sense to him, but he couldn''t quite fathom President Liao''s intentions.


    "In another year, the Cann Star Challenge will take ce. I would like to ask Mr. Lin to represent Dongning City."


    "The Cann Star Challenge?"


    Lin Yuan was momentarily puzzled but soon realized.


    The Cann Star Challenge was one of the hottest events in Cann Star and the entire Human Alliance. Two Evolvers would engage in a battle to determine the champion, and the entire process would be broadcast live, drawing immense enthusiasm and excitement from the citizens.


    "Why choose me?" Lin Yuan asked casually.


    "Because Mr. Lin is from Dongning City and is under a hundred years old, meeting the criteria for the star-level challenge."


    "Most importantly, Mr. Lin''s strength is very close to the second tier (or rank, it''s the same)."


    "Already standing among the strongest in Dongning City, if not you, should I let those much weaker Evolvers represent us?"


    President Liao answered truthfully.


    The Cann Star Challenge selected Evolvers from various major cities topete and determine their strengths.


    "Let me be honest, Mr. Lin. In the past few challenges, Dongning City''s rankings were not good. If this challenge follows the same pattern, I, as the head of the Evolver Association, might as well resign."


    President Liao wore a bitter expression.


    The Evolver Association was responsible for managing and cultivating all local Evolvers. If Dongning City''s Evolver strength remained weak in the challenge, he, as the head of the association, would bear the primary responsibility.


    This was also one of the methods used by the Human Alliance to stimte Evolvers'' potential and guide the birth of more powerful Evolvers.


    Of course, achieving a good ranking in the Cann Star Challenge, such as entering the top three thousand, would also bring official rewards.


    "I see."


    Lin Yuan suddenly understood.


    "Mr. Lin, rest assured. If we can secure a ce within the top five thousand in this challenge, our Evolver Association will provide fifty million civilization coins as a reward."


    President Liao was afraid that Lin Yuan might decline and immediately made this promise.


    Based on previous challenges, there would be around ten thousand participating Evolvers. Achieving a ranking within the top five thousand could be considered decent.


    "Fifty million?"


    Lin Yuan''s eyes widened.


    Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan''s heart stirred slightly. Nobody wouldin about having too much money, especially since Lin Yuan was unusually short of funds. Not to mention other things, the demand for advanced nutrient solution alone was substantial for Lin Yuan.


    During his first shuttle back, Lin Yuan had used a total of twenty-one bottles of advanced nutrient solution to fully recover his strength. How many more bottles would he need for the next shuttle, especially when his strength became even more powerful? It was likely that he would need more advanced resources to replenish.


    And all of this required money.


    If he could earn fifty million, Lin Yuan''s financial pressure for the next few years would likely be significantly reduced.


    "Alright."


    "I''ll consider it."


    After some contemtion, Lin Yuan nodded.


    "No problem."


    President Liao said nonchntly. Since the Star Challenge was still a year away, there was plenty of time, and President Liao wasn''t in a hurry for Lin Yuan to provide an immediate answer.


    Outside the private room, arge group of people was anxiously specting.


    "Shoucheng, your son''s future is limitless."


    Looking at Lin Shoucheng, Lin Hao sighed.


    With this statement, the rtives around them showedplex expressions.


    Originally, many of them harbored jealousy or resentment towards Lin Yuan. However, now that the gap between them and Lin Yuan was insurmountable, all jealousy and resentment had disappeared. Lin Yuan was a concrete example. Even the president of the Evolver Association came to discuss important matters with Lin Yuan. What did that imply? Any normal person could figure it out.


    "Rascal!"


    "Do you still have the face to stand here?"


    Lin Hao nced at his son with a trace of anger in his heart.


    If it weren''t for thest few words Lin Yan said, the favor he intended to gain from transferring the bureau''s quota to Lin Yuan would have been significant. However, now, because of Lin Yan, this favor would probably be greatly reduced.


    "Dad."


    Lin Yan lowered his head.


    He had no idea that Lin Yuan would have such great influence. Business, military, and even the president of the Evolver Association, such big shots personally came to visit. At this moment, Lin Yan was still trembling in his heart, especially when President Liao of the Evolver Association mentioned that he hade to find Lin Yuan.


    Half an hourter, Lin Yuan and President Liao walked out of the private room. After President Liao took his leave, the members of the Chu and Huo families also bid their farewells.


    Since it was someone else''s family banquet, they couldn''t stay any longer after paying their respects to Lin Yuan. Once these people left, Lin Yuan''s family banquet continued. However, at this moment, no one had the mood to participate.


    Their hearts were filled withplexity and awe as they looked at Lin Yuan.


    An hourter, the Lin family banquet concluded. Many rtives were hesitant, wanting to get closer to Lin Yuan butcking the courage.


    "Little Yuan, what exactly is going on?"


    When they returned home, Lin Yuan''s mother, Lu Qiong, couldn''t help but inquire. Although Lin Yuan had be the focus of attention during the family banquet, Lu Qiong was now somewhat worried.


    "Mom, don''t worry."


    "During thest Evolver registration, I was ssified as a first-tier, twelfth-rank Evolver."


    Lin Yuan casually exined.


    "First-rank, twelfth-rank?"


    Lin Yuan''s mother widened her eyes.


    Mother, Lu Qiong, almost thought she was dreaming. She had barely seen any Evolvers, let alone a twelfth-stage Evolver like her son.


    "My son is a twelfth-stage Evolver?" Father, Lin Shoucheng, looked bewildered.


    And so, time passed slowly. In the blink of an eye, over half a year had gone by. (Lol, time-skip, just like this yeah :D)


    Water Moon Residential Area, Number 32.


    In the underground training ground, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    Suddenly, as if sensing something, Lin Yuan immediately focused his mind deep into his consciousness.


    Only to see that tall, majestic, and grand Gate of a Myriad Realms, the edge of the area waspletely lit up.

 Chapter 28

    Chapter 28


    "Can I cross now?" Lin Yuan felt a surge of joy. The ability to cross through the Gate of a Myriad Realms was not without limitations. It required time to umte energy, manifesting as being gradually "lit up."


    Upon his first return, Lin Yuan received information from the Gate of a Myriad Realms. The degree of illumination was categorized as lit on the outer periphery, lit internally, and lit at the core.


    The outer periphery''s illumination allowed for consciousness traverse, taking approximately eight months to a year. Internal illumination enabled bodily traverse, taking several years to a decade. As for core illumination, it involved a certain transformation of the Gate, requiring decades or even centuries.


    "Let''s go for consciousness transmigration." Lin Yuan wasn''t interested in bodily traverse. It took too long to umte the energy required for bodily traverse, and the margin for error was too lowonce dead, it meant true death. Inparison, consciousness traverse had a higher effectiveness.


    "Before teleporting, let''s make some preparations." Lin Yuanposed himself and began to arrange things, mainly reminding his parents that he might "disappear" for a while. Although there was a time difference in the flow of time between higher and lower-level worlds, Lin Yuan was unsure of the specific conditions of the world he was about to traverse to.


    With everything prepared, Lin Yuan left the underground training ground and arrived at a room.


    "After this traverse, I should be able to deduce the path of martial arts evolution to the second tier. By then, continuing to upload to the Wisdom Goddess should raise my citizenship level to level three," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Half a year ago, Lin Yuan had uploaded the improved martial arts ssics, "Mythical Chapter" and "UnrestrainedChapter," and received 3,000 merit points as a reward. Simultaneously, the ranking of the martial arts evolution path on the Cann Evolution List had risen from ny-three to seventy-eight.


    The one hundred evolution paths on the Cann Evolution List were ranked by the Wisdom Goddess based on factors such as potential, poprity, difficulty of cultivation, and more. When Lin Yuan officially broke through to the second stage, the ranking was expected to rise once again.


    Overall, uploading the martial arts evolution path provided Lin Yuan with 5,000 merit points. Promoting to a second-level citizen consumed 1,000 merit points, leaving him with 4,000 merit points. Promotion from a second-level citizen to a third-level citizen required 5,000 merit points.


    "Let''s get started." Lin Yuan pushed open the door and approached a two-meter-long nutrient storage container.


    During Lin Yuan''s first traverse, he had no choice but to undergo it forcibly due to the conscription task on his shoulders, proceeding with it head-on. Fortunately, he had good luck; he spent twenty years in the martial world, while only a little over ten minutes had passed in the main world.


    Now, Lin Yuan was not going to leave everything to chance. The nutrient storage container he obtained through Liao Hui, with military-grade quality, could sustain him for a minimum of two hundred years once activated. This meant that, as long as Lin Yuan entered it, the nutrient substances inside the container would be sufficient for his body''s needs over two hundred years, provided he did not actively wake up.


    This sense of security made Lin Yuan feel much safer, preventing a scenario where he would traverse back with a body starved to the bone.


    Thinking about the usage of the nutrient container, Lin Yuan opened the cover and directly entered it.


    "Traverse." Lin Yuan''s consciousness merged into the deep recesses of his mind where the Gate of a Myriad Realms was.


    In an instant, an invisible force came. Lin Yuan felt his consciousness rapidly plummeting.


    ...


    Zhang Family Fortress


    It was adorned with lights and looked very festive. The people inside the fortress knew that the Lord of Zhang''s wife had given birth to a son.


    "Madam, you''ve worked hard." In the room, Zhang Kun gently ced the swaddled baby on the bed and looked towards the weak woman lying on the couch, his tone full of tenderness.


    "Not hard at all, Lord Zhang. This is our child." Madam Zhang''s face was somewhat pale, but she still forced herself to sit up, cradling the swaddled baby in her arms with gentle eyes.


    After sharing a moment of warmth, Madam Zhang brought up the main topic.


    "Husband, the Devil Sect has been somewhat restless recently, trending towards our direction. Did you inform Daoist Longqing from Mount Long?"


    "Don''t worry, Madam." Zhang Kun patted his chest and said, "I''ve already sent a letter to Daoist Longqing. I believe he should be arriving soon."


    Pausing for a moment, Zhang Kun continued, "Moreover, what does the Devil Sect have to fear? You and I are considered top-notch martial artists in the martial world. How can we be afraid of those demonic bastards?"


    Zhang Kun''s tone exuded immense confidence.


    "It seems that this birth is not bad." Zhang Kun and his wife were unaware that, at the moment of their conversation, the baby in the swaddle opened his eyes, revealing a depth not fitting for his age.


    This baby was naturally Lin Yuan. Through their brief conversation, Lin Yuan deduced that his father''s social status in this lifetime was decent.


    At least, when he was born just now, there were no fewer than five midwives, and more than ten maidservants were serving. This was something ordinary people couldn''t achieve in any world.


    As Lin Yuan was lost in thought, he began to feel tired.


    When Lin Yuan opened his eyes again, he heard a very noisymotion. The room''s door was tightly closed, but the sounds of battle outside were audible.


    His mother looked anxious.


    "What''s going on?" Lin Yuan widened his eyes. Everything was fine just a moment ago. How could it be like this now?


    His mother sat down immediately upon seeing Lin Yuan wake up, her eyes teary. "Child, the eight sect masters of the Devil Sect have attacked. Your father and the experts in the fortress have gone to fight them."


    "They will definitely repel the Devil Sect."


    Lin Yuan''s mother, holding him, seemed to beforting herself rather than consoling the child.


    After a moment, the door was pushed open, and Lin Yuan''s father, Zhang Kun, entered, covered in blood.


    "Husband, what''s happening outside now?" Lin Yuan''s mother, Su Yun, hurriedly asked.


    "We can''t hold on. The Devil Sect didn''t just send eight sect masters; there''s also a protector hiding in the shadows. Our Zhang Family Fortress, the Zhang family is finished," Zhang Kun said with a lifeless expression.


    He never expected that, to deal with Zhang Family Fortress, the Devil Sect would mobilize a protector. Anyone who became a protector for the Devil Sect was at least on the level surpassing top-notch martial artists.


    "What should we do now?" Lin Yuan''s mother, Su Yun, remained silent for a moment before asking.


    "You all should leave." Zhang Kun came to the back of the bed and gently patted it, revealing a hidden passage.


    "This tunnel leads ten miles away. Take the child and go far away. Don''te back in this lifetime."


    After opening the tunnel, Zhang Kun, as if losing all his strength, almost copsed to the ground.


    "Husband, let''s go together. Let''s leave this ce together," Su Yun said, looking at the tunnel.


    "I can''t leave," Zhang Kun shook his head. "I was struck by a palm from the Devil Sect protector. My heart''s vein is severed, and I won''t live for much longer."


    Zhang Kun looked at Lin Yuan and softened his voice. "I had thought of a name for youShanfeng. You were supposed to be the peak of our Zhang Family Fortress. Unfortunately, there''s no future now."


    After saying this, Zhang Kun took out a jade pendant and ced it in the swaddle.


    The jade pendant had two characters carved on the frontShanfeng.


    Afterpleting these actions, Zhang Kun looked at his wife, Su Yun.


    "When the child grows up, don''t tell him about his origins. Just let him live an ordinary life. Don''t think about seeking revenge for me."


    After saying this, Zhang Kun directly pushed Su Yun into the tunnel.

 Chapter 29

    Chapter 29


    Through the secret passage.


    Mother Su Yun smoothly left her husband.


    However, it hadn''t been half an hour. The pursuers from the Ten Thousand Demon Sect arrived.


    Obviously, the secret passage in the room had been discovered. With no other choice, Su Yun could only hide Lin Yuan in a secluded thicket.


    "I''ll lead them away."


    "I''lle back to get youter."


    Su Yun said and headed in another direction. As the wife of the top-notch expert Zhang Kun, Su Yun was not an ordinary person.


    Even just after giving birth, her strength was not inferior to that of third or fourth-rate experts, and her lightness skill was exceptional.


    However. Until two or three hours passed. Su Yun still hadn''t returned.


    "She probably won''t be able toe back."


    Lin Yuan thought silently.


    For such a long time, if Su Yun had managed to shake off the pursuers, she would have returned long ago.


    Not returning indicated she hadn''t escaped from the pursuers.


    The oue of not escaping from the pursuers didn''t need much exnation.


    "Sigh."


    Lin Yuan sighed softly.


    Just a moment ago, he was the highly anticipated heir of the Zhang family.


    But now, everything was gone.


    "This is troublesome."


    Lin Yuan frowned slightly.


    Now was not the time formentation.


    The urgent matter was how to survive.


    In this travel, Lin Yuan''s situation was extremely difficult.


    As a newborn baby, Lin Yuan couldn''t afford any big movements.


    If he left the swaddle, the only oue would be freezing to death.


    As for crying loudly, attracting the attention of others nearby?


    Lin Yuan wasn''t sure if what he attracted would be the pursuers from the demonic sect.


    Moreover, Lin Yuan''s current surroundings were extremely remote, seemingly uninhabited.


    He feared that any slight movement he made would attract wolves and leopards.


    In the eyes of those ferocious beasts, a human baby was a delicacy.


    "What a pity."


    "If only it were a few monthster."


    "No, just a few days."


    Lin Yuan felt helpless.


    With his extraordinary understanding, given time, Lin Yuan could quickly be stronger.


    During his first travel, Lin Yuan was only a three-year-old child and was able toprehend the Great Arhat Buddha Fist, stepping into the innate realm.


    Although there were many restrictions on a baby''s body, it wasn''t that he couldn''t do anything; at least he had some resistance.


    Soon.


    It was nighttime.


    The temperature began to drop rapidly.


    Even wrapped in the swaddle, Lin Yuan felt waves of cold creeping in.


    If it were another baby, they probably would have started crying by now.


    But Lin Yuan didn''t, because he knew that if he cried, it would attract nearby wild beasts, and he would be taken away and devoured by them.


    However.


    Even so. The innate smell of a baby''s milk faintly emanated.


    Before long. Lin Yuan heard rustling sounds from the nearby bushes.


    Judging by the sound, it clearly wasn''t made by a human.


    "What should I do?"


    Lin Yuan''s heart began to race.


    If it wasn''t a person making the noise, it must be a wild beast.


    Faced with wild beasts, Lin Yuan was helpless. To them, he was nothing more than a tasty meal, and they wouldn''t feel any sympathy.


    As the rustling sound drew nearer, Lin Yuan''s breathing slowed.


    At the same time, Lin Yuan''s gaze suddenly noticed the dry leaves and wood on the ground.


    Being in the wilderness, there were abundant nts, and dry leaves and wood were scattered everywhere.


    Staring at the dry leaves and wood, numerous insights suddenly surged in Lin Yuan''s mind.


    [With your extraordinary understanding, observing the withered wood, youprehend the Withered Wood Breathing Technique.]


    [Withered Wood Breathing Technique: Converge all breath by using a special breathing rhythm, simting the appearance of withered wood.]


    In an instant, Lin Yuan''s breath continued to converge.


    The faint smell of milk disappearedpletely.


    Even Lin Yuan''s skin, originally fair and tender, gradually took on the deep color of withered wood.


    From a distance, Lin Yuan looked like a piece of withered wood wrapped in swaddling clothes.


    "Howl."


    Several meters away, an adult wild wolf paused. It sniffed the air, emitting a puzzled low growl. After lingering around for a while and confirming the absence of any scent of food, the wolf could only turn and leave.


    In the swaddle, Lin Yuan''s breath vanished, but his consciousness remained. After hearing the rustling sound move away, he released a sigh of relief.


    "The Withered Wood Breathing Technique?"


    Lin Yuan maintained this art of convergence.


    In fact, during his first travel, Lin Yuan hadprehended many techniques rted to concealing one''s breath.


    However.


    These breath-concealing techniques typically required the assistance of internal energy and vital energy.


    And Lin Yuan, currently just a baby, had neither internal energy nor vital energy.


    As for the newly created Withered Wood Breathing Technique, it achieved the goal of concealing breath simply by adjusting the breathing rhythm.


    It was something Lin Yuan could currently manage.


    "There shouldn''t be any danger for now."


    Lin Yuan constantly surveyed his surroundings, not letting his guard down.


    Time passed slowly.


    In the blink of an eye, half a day had gone by.


    Lin Yuan felt a strong sense of hunger.


    Every cell in his body conveyed the feeling of starvation.


    [With your extraordinary understanding, enduring hunger, youprehend the Hibernation Breathing Technique.]


    Once again, Lin Yuan''s extraordinary understanding saved him. The Hibernation Breathing Technique could greatly reduce the body''s consumption, andbined with the Withered Wood Breathing Technique, Lin Yuan was nearly indistinguishable from a piece of genuine withered wood.


    Two dayster.


    Lin Yuan, maintaining thest shred of consciousness, experienced a sudden turn of events.


    At that moment, a Taoist priest in Daoist robes descended from the sky.


    "Someone''s here?"


    "And a Daoist at that?"


    Lin Yuan''s spirits lifted.


    This was the first living person he had seen in the past two days.


    "I don''t care."


    "If I continue like this, I''ll really die."


    Lin Yuan quickly dispelled the Withered Wood Breathing Technique and Hibernation Breathing Technique.


    Although the Hibernation Breathing Technique could significantly reduce Lin Yuan''s physical consumption, it was still just a reduction.


    As a newborn baby, sustaining for two days was already the limit.


    Continuing like this, even the Hibernation Breathing Technique wouldn''t hold up.


    Thinking of this, Lin Yuan mustered all his strength and began crying loudly.


    As the cries of the infant resounded.


    The Taoist clearly heard it.


    "Is it an abandoned baby?"


    The Taoist appeared to be middle-aged, his expression filled with weariness.


    "Hmm?"


    "Is this an abandoned baby from the Zhang family?"


    The Taoist immediately deduced Lin Yuan''s identity from the pattern on the swaddle.


    "This jade pendant? It''s Brother Zhang''s jade pendant? This is Brother Zhang''s child?"


    Tears welled up in the Taoist''s eyes.


    He was Longqing Daoist, and a few months ago, Zhang Kun had sent him a letter.


    In the letter, Zhang Kun mentioned discovering traces of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.


    Longqing Daoist immediately set out for Zhang Family Fortress.


    However, on the way, he was ambushed by several guardians of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.


    It dyed him for a few days.


    When he finally arrived again.


    Zhang Family Fortress waspletely wiped out.


    Just as Longqing Daoist was disheartened and about to return to Mount Long to report, he unexpectedly heard the crying of Lin Yuan. Moreover, this baby turned out to be Zhang Kun''s son.


    "Good, good, good."


    "Brother Zhang''s bloodline lives on."


    "Brother Zhang''s bloodline hasn''t been severed."


    Longqing Daoist immediately protected Lin Yuan and reached out to touch him for a while.


    In Longqing Daoist''s eyes, a newborn baby left in the wilderness for half a day would likely have frozen to death. Although he didn''t know how long Lin Yuan had been here, the surrounding environment suggested it was more than just half a day.


    Therefore, Longqing Daoist decided to use his true qi to replenish the baby''s vitality.


    Even though this action would consume a great deal of his energy, Longqing Daoist didn''t mind. If he couldn''t even save thest descendant of Zhang Jiabao due to his dyed arrival, he would truly have no face to live in this world.


    "Hmm?"


    "No injuries on the body?"


    Longqing Daoist was astonished.


    He found that the baby''s body was very healthy, aside from being weak due to hunger, there were no major issues.


    "Incredible."


    Longqing Daoist murmured to himself.


    "Child, from now on, you will be a member of our Mount Long."


    Longqing Daoist embraced Lin Yuan.


    He immediately set off to return to Mount Long.


    In the True Martial Hall of Mount Long.


    Longqing Daoist stood in front of a venerable Azure Daoist, recounting the whole story.


    The Azure Daoist was the current head of the Mount Long Taoist school, a prominent figure in the martial arts world.


    "The current sect master of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect is a talented and ambitious individual, having entered the realm of celestial phenomena. Hence, he ordered his disciples to plunder in all directions to demonstrate demonic power."


    Azure Daoist slowly spoke.


    Then, he took Lin Yuan from Longqing Daoist''s hands.


    "Poor child."


    The Azure Daoist sighed deeply.


    "Lord Zhang devoted his life to righteousness. He died at the hands of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect. Our Taoist school will absolutely not let this go."


    "By the way, has the child been named?"


    "I found a jade pendant in the swaddle with the characters ''Mountain'' and ''Peak.''"


    "It should be the name Brother Zhang chose for the child."


    Longqing Daoist whispered.


    "Mountain Peak, Mountain Peak."


    "Well, from now on, your name will be Zhang Shanfeng (Shan = Mountain and Feng = Peak)."


    The Azure Daoist spoke slowly.


    And so, Lin Yuan settled down on Mount Long.


    Initially, Longqing Daoist worried that Lin Yuan''s crying might disturb others.


    However, after a few days of interaction, Longqing Daoist was surprised to find that Lin Yuan was exceptionally well-behaved.


    He never cried, and when hungry, he would open his big round eyes and stare at Longqing Daoist.


    Almost overly sensible.


    As for the need for a baby to drink milk, there were plenty of viges at the foot of Mount Long, including women who had just given birth.


    Longqing Daoist would boldly ask these women for some breast milk, barely managing to keep Lin Yuan alive.


    And so, ten years passed.


    ...


    Remember to review the novel :D

 Chapter 30

    Chapter 30


    Mount Long, evening.


    Lin Yuan, dressed in a gray standard Taoist robe, walked to a giant rock and stopped.


    "Ten years have passed."


    Lin Yuan sat on the giant rock, immersed in a brief contemtion.


    In the span of ten years, Lin Yuan had gained a profound understanding of this world.


    In this world, the cultivation system was divided into nine grades, from the lowest ninth grade to the highest first grade. Beyond the first grade was the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.


    The strong in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm were said to be able to epass heaven and earth,prehend the Qi of all things, and shake mountains with a wave of their hand.


    Even in the Universal Human Alliance, they would be considered second-tierbat power.


    From this perspective, Lin Yuan confirmed that the hierarchy of this world was higher than the martial world he had encountered in his first traversal.


    "Seventy more years of residence."


    Lin Yuan nced at the virtual text below his line of sight.


    [Name: Zhang Shanfeng (Lin Yuan)]


    [Identity: Controller of the Door to the Myriad Realms]


    [Bound Talent: Unrivaled Insight]


    [Current Status: Conscious Descent]


    [Residence Time: Eighty Years]


    Perhaps due to the increase in strength and the different world rank, Lin Yuan''s residence time this time had increased from twenty years to eighty years.


    Lin Yuan was quite satisfied with this. Under the backdrop of the conscious descent, the longer the residence time, the better.


    "Celestial Phenomenon Realm."


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes slightly, sensing the slow operation of the true power within his body.


    In ten years, Lin Yuan had naturally not been idle.


    With the Unrivaled Insight, Lin Yuan reached the first-grade realm in just three years, corresponding to the Unrestrained Realm in the martial world.


    Then, five yearster, Lin Yuan smoothly entered the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, bing one of the top-notch experts of his generation.


    Of course, all of this was done covertly by Lin Yuan, and the others on Mount Long were unaware.


    "Still need to stay low-key."


    Lin Yuan sighed lightly, thinking to himself.


    The Tian Shi Sect of Mount Long was the ancestralnd of the Daoist sects in the world, with an unfathomable foundation.


    At least, after breaking through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, Lin Yuan vaguely sensed that there were a few ces on Mount Long where there were breaths surpassing the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.


    "Slow cultivation."


    "Since the residence time is long this time, there''s no need to rush."


    While thinking, Lin Yuan left from beside the giant rock.


    Before long, Lin Yuan arrived at a Taoist courtyard on the mountainside.


    This Taoist courtyard was where the Daoist disciples lived on Mount Long.


    In the entire Mount Long, there were a total of eight Taoist courtyards like this.


    The Tian Shi Sect usually didn''t exert strict control over the Daoist disciples. As long as theypleted their daily tasks, they could do their own things.


    Not long after Lin Yuan returned, he saw many small Daoist disciples of his age gathering together.


    "Elder Pingyang?"


    Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly.


    At this moment, the old Taoist surrounded by many young disciples wore a tattered Taoist robe.


    This old Taoist usually wandered around Mount Long, liked to mingle with young disciples, and many of the Celestial Master''s disciples didn''t bother with him.


    Over time, everyone became familiar with him.


    The reason Lin Yuan paid attention to Elder Pingyang was that this person was undoubtedly a strong Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert.


    Mount Long publicly announced that the only Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert was the Azure Daoist. In reality, there were three Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts in the Tian Shi Sect.


    The seemingly unkempt Elder Pingyang was one of them.


    Lin Yuan spected that Elder Pingyang should have a role simr to a guardian of the Dao.


    He would only appear when the Tian Shi Sect was in danger.


    "Old Daoist, old Daoist, who do you think is the strongest in the world?"


    Among the young disciples surrounding Elder Pingyang, a small disciple who seemed younger in age asked in a childish voice.


    "The strongest in the world?"


    Elder Pingyang was slightly stunned, then smiled, "Naturally, it''s the Celestial Masters of our Tian Shi Sect throughout history."


    "Our Tian Shi Sect has a heritage of six thousand eight hundred years and has produced thirty-six Celestial Masters. Each Celestial Master is extraordinarily talented and invincible in the world."


    "Even someone as strong as the Celestial Phenomenon Realm has to bow before the CelestialMaster."


    Elder Pingyang''s tone slightly elevated, feeling quite self-satisfied.


    The other young disciples were inspired by his words.


    After all, everyone was a disciple of the Tian Shi Sect. Hearing that their Celestial Master was invincible made them naturally happy.


    "So who is the Celestial Master of the Tian Shi Sect now?"


    Another innocent young disciple asked.


    As soon as these words were spoken, all the young disciples looked at Elder Pingyang.


    "The current CelestialMaster."


    Elder Pingyang hesitated when he heard this, then answered, "In our generation of the Tian Shi Sect, there has not been a Celestial Master."


    Elder Pingyang didn''t say something else.


    It wasn''t just in this generation that the Tian Shi Sect hadn''t produced a Celestial Master.


    It had been five hundred years since thest CelestialMaster passed away.


    "The CelestialMaster."


    Lin Yuan gazed calmly from a distance.


    Based on his understanding over the past ten years, the real realm of the Celestial Master of the Tian Shi Sect should surpass the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.


    As for how to be a CelestialMaster, it seemed to involve some kind of test.


    The specific nature of the test, Lin Yuan didn''t know for now.


    This was already the most confidential secret of the Tian Shi Sect, and only Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts were likely to know.


    "How to surpass the Celestial Phenomenon Realm."


    Lin Yuan''s eyebrows furrowed slightly.


    Ever since he entered the Celestial Phenomenon Realm two years ago, Lin Yuan had noticed that his cultivation speed had slowed down significantly.


    At this rate, even with the Unrivaled Insight, Lin Yuan would need at least fifty years to break through the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.


    This was quite strange.


    Even with Lin Yuan''s Unrivaled Insight, it took fifty years to break through. For others, even if they were exceptionally talented, it would take at least two or three hundred years, if not five hundred years.


    However, as far as Lin Yuan knew, each generation of CelestialMasters never exceeded one hundred years of age.


    "Could there be a shortcut?"


    Lin Yuan spected inwardly, casting another inconspicuous nce in several directions.


    Those directions were where Lin Yuan had sensed the presence of energies surpassing the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.


    "Is it about the Mountain Peak?" Elder Pingyang looked up at Lin Yuan, a smile appearing on his face. "Considering the days, in another half a month, it will be the Tian Shi Sect once-every-twenty-years trip to the Sword Tomb."


    "Make sure to perform well then; it will be highly beneficial for your future."


    Elder Pingyang spoke with a deep meaning.


    "The Sword Tomb trip?"


    A ripple stirred in Lin Yuan''s heart.


    If it were someone else saying this, Lin Yuan might not have cared much. However, Elder Pingyang was a guardian of the Tian Shi Sect and one of the three Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts.


    His understanding of the Tian Shi Sect was undoubtedly far beyond Lin Yuan''s.


    Such a person emphasizing the Sword Tomb trip and even urging Lin Yuan to perform well implied deeper implications.


    "Thank you for the reminder, Elder Pingyang."


    Although Lin Yuan wasn''t clear about what the Sword Tomb trip truly entailed, he respectfully saluted Elder Pingyang.


    Over the past ten years, Elder Pingyang had taken care of him, especially when he was first brought to Mount Long.


    While Elder Longqing took care of him, Elder Pingyang had secretly used his Celestial Phenomenon True Qi to cleanse Lin Yuan''s body a few times.


    Elder Pingyang believed that Lin Yuan, being young, was unaware of these matters, but Lin Yuan, with the consciousness that descended upon him, was fully aware of everything since his birth.

    ...


    After Daoist Pingyang left, Lin Yuan returned to his own Taoist courtyard.


    "Sword Tomb." Lin Yuan contemted in his heart.


    The Sword Tomb of Mount Long is the ce where the swords of the predecessors of the Tian Shi Sect are stored. The Tian Shi Sect, devoted to the worship of the True Martial Emperor, excelled in swordsmanship, with the ''True Martial Seven-Segment Sword'' being the strongest sword technique of the time.


    "If I remember correctly."


    "The location of the Sword Tomb should be one of those ces."


    Lin Yuan''s mind stirred. The so-called ''those ces'' naturally referred to the locations with an aura surpassing the CelestialPhenomenon Realm. It was also something that made Lin Yuan quite apprehensive.


    "As the boat reaches the bridgehead."


    "We''ll know in half a month."


    Lin Yuan settled his mind and closed his eyes to begin cultivation.


    At the summit of Mount Long.


    True Martial Hall.


    The head of the Tian Shi Sect, Azure Daoist Cangqing, raised his hands, looking up at the towering ''True Martial Statue'' in front of him.


    "Half a monthter is the Sword Tomb expedition."


    "I wonder if the disciples of our Tian Shi Sect in this generation will be chosen by the True Martial Sword."


    Azure Daoist Cangqing sighed.


    The Sword Tomb of Mount Long contains countless swords. Among them are the swords of the disciples of the Tian Shi Sect from various generations, the swords of the True Martial Hall Masters, and even the swords of the thirty-six Celestial Master. Of course, there was the most important ''True Martial Sword.''


    It is said that the True Martial Sword originally belonged to the first-generation Celestial Master, rted to the worship of the True Martial Emperor. Only those chosen by the True Martial Sword could take that step and be the new Celestial Master of the Tian Shi Sect.


    Five hundred years.


    Twenty-five Sword Tomb expeditions.


    No disciple of the Tian Shi Sect has been chosen by the True Martial Sword again.


    As a result, the position of Celestial Master has been vacant for five hundred years.


    Although the Tian Shi Sect is still the ancestralnd of the Dao Sect, no one dares to underestimate it, but in terms of high-endbat power, it is still somewhatcking. Over the past few decades, the Ten Thousand Demon Sect has made aeback, causing countless killings.


    If the Tian Shi Sect had a Celestial Master sitting in, would the Ten Thousand Demon Sect have the audacity?


    "Master, don''t worry."


    A plump Taoist priest beside him spoke.


    This plump Taoist priest seemed to have no aura at all, but he was one of the three CelestialPhenomenon experts in the Tian Shi Sect.


    Time passed.


    In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.


    On this day, Lin Yuan had just walked out of his courtyard, and a Taoist priest from the top of the mountain hurried over.


    "All Taoist children under the age of twenty, follow me."


    This Taoist priest looked to be in his thirties, but he was already a fourth-grade expert.


    "Is it time for the Sword Tomb expedition?"


    Lin Yuan''s heart stirred, obediently standing in ce ording to the Taoist priest''s instructions.


    Soon.


    All the Taoist children in this courtyard who met the requirements gathered together.


    Lin Yuan took a rough look, and there were probably more than a hundred of them.


    "Follow me."


    "Don''t fall behind, don''t run around."


    Seeing this, the Taoist priest immediately spoke.


    In his voice, there were faintly hidden sound waves of martial arts. All Taoist children only felt a buzzing in their ears and didn''t dare to be unruly.


    After a small half-day.


    Under the guidance of the Taoist priest, Lin Yuan and many Taoist children arrived at a valley behind Mount Long. Many other Taoist children from the other seven Taoist courtyards had already gathered here.


    "So many people." Beside Lin Yuan, a small and thin Taoist child couldn''t help but exim.


    "Senior Shanfeng, why did the Taoists bring us here?" The small Taoist child named Qingping approached Lin Yuan and whispered.


    "I don''t know." Lin Yuan shook his head.


    Qingping had a good rtionship with Lin Yuan, and in a sense, he regarded Lin Yuan with great respect. Due to the influence of Daoist Longqing, Lin Yuan had some background as a "second generation" in Mount Long and wouldn''t be bullied. However, even in the ancestralnd of the Dao Sect like Mount Long, there were still factions, and groups of Taoist children naturally formed small circles for mutual support.


    After a considerable amount of time passed, a Taoist hurried over, carrying many booklets in his hands. He distributed the booklets to each Taoist child, and then the Taoist spoke, "The booklet contains a technique called ''Sword Intent Sensing Technique.'' Everyone should start practicing ording to this method and then enter the Sword Tomb one by one. During the process, maintain the Sensing Heart Method continuously and find a suitable sword in the Sword Tomb."


    After a quick exnation, the Taoist repeated it several times, confirming that all Taoist children understood before going elsewhere.


    "This Sword Intent Sensing Technique is so difficult." Qingpingined as he flipped through the booklet.


    Other Taoist children were also struggling to understand.


    "Sword Intent Sensing Technique?" Lin Yuan unfolded the booklet and quickly browsed through it.


    [You have Unrivaled Insight. Read ''Sword Intent Sensing Technique'' andprehend the ''Supreme Sword Command Sensing Technique'']


    In an instant, arge amount of spiritual light about swordsmanship and sword intent surged out. Even for Lin Yuan, who had already entered the CelestialPhenomenon Realm, it took nearly half an hour to absorb it all.


    "This Sword Intent Sensing Technique..." Lin Yuan''s heart was full of uncertainty.


    After learning and elevating this Sensing Heart Method, Lin Yuan seemed to have a faint connection with the nearby Sword Tomb.


    On top of the Sword Tomb.


    A high tform.


    Three figures sat there, looking down at the Sword Tomb below. The leader of the trio was Azure Daoist Cangqing, the current head of the Tian Shi Sect. In an era without the emergence of a Celestial Master, the head of the sect took control of the entire Tian Shi Sect.


    The other two were the messy-looking Daoist Pingyang on the left and the plump Daoist on the right. These three figures were the current grandmasters in the Tian Shi Sect, all at the CelestialPhenomenon Realm.


    "The Sword Tomb expedition..."


    "It is the key to the birth of a Celestial Master in our Tian Shi Sect."


    "I hope this time won''t disappoint us." Daoist Pingyang muttered to himself.


    From his perspective, he could clearly see everything in the Sword Tomb below.


    "In the Sword Tomb, it''s not just about selecting swords; it''s also about swords selecting people."


    "The swords that can be ced in the Sword Tomb all contain sword intent."


    "As long as you cultivate the ''Sword Intent Sensing Technique'' to a certain level, you can sense many sword intents and have a chance to choose the swords of the previous Celestial Master."


    The plump Daoist spoke.


    As for why the Taoist children were not instructed to practice the "Sword Intent Sensing Technique" in advance, this technique served as both a sensing method and a measurement of one''s innate aptitude. Those who could elevate the "Sword Intent Sensing Technique" to a preliminary level in just a few hours undoubtedly possessed extraordinary aptitude in swordsmanship. The sword they ultimately chose would reflect their true skill.


    Moreover, if one''s innate aptitude in swordsmanship wascking, even spending ten years practicing the "Sword Intent Sensing Technique" might not lead to its mastery.


    As for reaching the level of perfection in the "Sword Intent Sensing Technique," it had been a long time since anyone in the Tian Shi Sect achieved it. This was something that only the seeds of the Celestial Master generation had a chance to aplish, as they might be sensed by the revered "True Martial Sword."


    Half a dayter, as the Taoist children below sessively entered the Sword Tomb and selected suitable swords, the three CelestialPhenomenon Realm masters observing from the high tform gradually smiled.


    Up to that point, four Taoist children had chosen the swords of past Celestial Master, indicating their potential to step into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. Another thirty-one had chosen the swords of past sect leaders, ensuring their advancement to at least the first realm, even if they did not reach the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.


    This scene brought great satisfaction to Azure Daoist Cangqing. Although he had hoped for a Taoist child to be chosen by the revered "True Martial Sword," such expectations were elusive. For five hundred years, no one had been sensed by that sword, so why would it happen this time? The current oue, which focused on the birth of more CelestialPhenomenon Realm experts, was more in line with the actual situation in the Tian Shi Sect.


    "No, no, no."


    "These sword intents are too weak."


    Inside the Sword Tomb, Lin Yuan was also selecting a sword. After elevating the "Sword Intent Sensing Technique" to the "Supreme Sword Command Sensing Technique," the ''sword intent'' in the entire Sword Tomb appeared to Lin Yuan as if it were visible lines on the palm of his hand.


    By slightly activating the "Supreme Sword Command Sensing Technique," Lin Yuan could sense countless swords sending out eager signals towards him. While these swords were extremely powerful for the Taoist children, Lin Yuan, already in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, found them unimpressive.


    "There''s a sword intent over there."


    Following the sensing, Lin Yuan continuously moved towards the deeper parts of the Sword Tomb.


    Almost simultaneously, on the high tform, the three CelestialPhenomenon Realm experts looked towards Lin Yuan.


    "Who is this person? Instead of choosing a sword properly, why is he going deeper into the Sword Tomb?"


    The plump Daoist frowned and spoke.


    "Is it Shanfeng?"


    Daoist Pingyang recognized Lin Yuan and also looked puzzled.


    Although he had urged Lin Yuan to perform well, it didn''t mean wandering around recklessly. Moreover, in the deeper parts of the Sword Tomb, the sword energy was rampant, and if the Taoist children rashly contacted it, it could lead to hidden dangers.


    Seeing this, Azure Daoist Cangqing also showed a look of puzzlement.


    "I will bring him back."


    The plump Daoist was about to stop Lin Yuan from going further.


    However, the next moment, Lin Yuan''s expression became serious. He lifted his right hand and reached deep into a pile of swords.


    "Come out!"


    Lin Yuan activated the "Supreme Sword Command Sensing Technique" and slowly pulled out a worn-out sword with the characters ''True Martial'' engraved on the front.


    With Lin Yuan at the center, thousands of swords trembled simultaneously.


    Many Taoist children knelt down towards the "True Martial Sword" in reverence.


    Thirty-nine first-grade people of the Tian Shi Sect respectfully bowed to Lin Yuan.


    Even Azure Daoist Cangqing, a CelestialPhenomenon Realm expert and the current head of the sect, had tears streaming down his face.


    After five hundred years, True Martial Sword had finally revealed itself.


    Today, True Martial Sword had finally appeared before them.

 Chapter 32

    Chapter 32


    "This sword..."


    In the depths of the Sword Tomb, Lin Yuan gripped the sword''s hilt. Even so, he could clearly feel the sword trembling slightly. If he hadn''t been continuously operating the "Supreme Sword Command Sensing Technique" within him, Lin Yuan had no doubt that this sword would have flown away on its own.


    "A mere inanimate object possesses such spirituality?"


    Lin Yuan couldn''t help but marvel. If this were ced in the Universal Human Alliance, only spacecraft battleships created through the fusion of biological technology with a valueparable tos might be worthy ofparison.


    "However, even with spirituality, it is still an inanimate object."


    Lin Yuan could sense that the sword''s resistance was weakening. In just a moment, the trembling stopped, and the sword was calmly held in Lin Yuan''s hand.


    Only at this point did Lin Yuan turn around to look behind him.


    The current head of the sect, Azure Daoist Cangqing, the plump Daoist, and Daoist Pingyangthese three CelestialPhenomenon Realm mastersstood not far away, quietly watching Lin Yuan. Their expressions wereplex, reflecting satisfaction, shock, or reminiscence.


    "Sect Master."


    Lin Yuan''s face promptly showed a trace of awe. He was about to bow respectfully.


    "No need."


    The head of the sect, Azure Daoist Cangqing, took a step forward and raised Lin Yuan.


    "Since you have been chosen by the True Martial Sword, you are the inheritor of True Martial in this generation and the future Tian Shi Sect Master."


    Azure Daoist Cangqing spoke with a solemn tone.


    The journey to the Sword Tomb concluded, and Lin Yuan did not return to the Daoist quarters on the mountainside. Instead, he was personally taken by the head of the sect, Azure Daoist Cangqing, to a residence at the mountaintop. Four other Daoist children apanied Lin Yuan. From Azure Daoist Cangqing''s casual chat, Lin Yuan learned that these four Daoist children had chosen swords left by the past Celestial Masters. While not as exceptional as the "True Martial Sword" Lin Yuan had selected, these swords were still outstanding. There was a great hope for them to reach the Celestial Phenomenon Realm in the future.


    "Senior Brother Shanfeng, what do you think the sect master is doing?"


    A little Daoist who had closely followed Lin Yuan, asked anxiously.


    "Don''t worry; it must be a good thing."


    Lin Yuan replied casually.


    From the information inadvertently revealed by Azure Daoist Cangqing, Lin Yuan inferred that the five of them would definitely be cultivated by the Tian Shi Sect as "seeds." Especially for Lin Yuan, being chosen by the True Martial Sword directly designated him as the "future Celestial Master," as mentioned by Azure Daoist Cangqing.


    What was the concept of the Celestial Master in the Tian Shi Sect?


    Even after five hundred years, the world still couldn''t forget the terror of the Celestial Master. If the Tian Shi Sect produced a Celestial Master, they would be invincible in the world.


    In Lin Yuan''s understanding, the world''s power ceiling was the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. Perhaps there were very few exceptional talents who could barely step a small orrge part beyond the CelestialPhenomenon Realm''s foundation.


    But only the Celestial Master in the Tian Shi Sect couldpletely surpass the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.


    This was also the reason why the Celestial Master was invincible in the world.


    Even Lin Yuan is curious about what it takes topletely step beyond that stage known as the ''Tian Shi'' or Celestial Master. After all, ording to Lin Yuan''s calctions, achieving a breakthrough beyond the Celestial Phenomenon Realm would take at least fifty years, even with the assistance of extraordinary innate understanding.


    And yet, the Celestial Masterhow can they achieve it?


    Could it be that every Celestial Master in the Tian Shi Sect possesses extraordinary innate understanding like Lin Yuan? This is clearly impossible.


    After Azure Daoist Cangqing escorted Lin Yuan and the other four to their residence, he reminded them not to wander around at night before leaving. Lin Yuan sat on the bed, absentmindedly cing the True Martial Sword in front of him. By now, this sword hadpletely settled down.


    "There must be secrets of the Celestial Master within this sword. Otherwise, Azure Daoist Cangqing wouldn''t have recognized me as the future Celestial Master."


    Lin Yuan gently touched the sword''s hilt.


    At the same time, a faint aura of true power began to probe deep into the sword along the de.


    Boom!


    The scene around Lin Yuan suddenly changed.


    He found himself in a deep and dark void. Not far to the left was a sun-like fireball, and on the right was a deep abyss exuding endless coldness. The power of the sun and moon permeated the entire space.


    "What is this?"


    Lin Yuan''s pupils contracted slightly. A plethora of insights suddenly surged in his mind.


    [Your extraordinary innate understanding allows you to observe the external manifestations of the forces of Yin and Yang, deepening yourprehension of the Dao of Yin and Yang.]


    Momentster, numerous insights flooded his mind.


    Lin Yuan was captivated,pletely focused on the forces of Yin and Yang on either side.


    After an indeterminate amount of time passed, Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes.


    "So that''s how it is."


    Lin Yuan suddenly enlightened.


    At this moment, he finally understood why the past Celestial Masters of the Tian Shi Sect could surpass the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. It was because of the True Martial Sword.


    Inside the sword, the external manifestations of the sun and moon forces were apparent. This was a path that directly led to realms beyond the CelestialPhenomenon Realm.


    The past Celestial Masters of the Tian Shi Sect constantly observed the external manifestations of the sun and moon forces within the sword. By doing so, they continually deepened their understanding, surpassing the limitations of the CelestialPhenomenon Realm.


    "Twenty years."


    "No, at most a little over ten years."


    "I can break through the CelestialPhenomenon Realm."


    Lin Yuan was filled with excitement. In fact, byprehending either the power of the sun or the power of the moon within the sword, he could break through the CelestialPhenomenon Realm.


    This was the path taken by the past Celestial Masters of the Tian Shi Sect.


    However, Lin Yuan''s ambitions were great. He wanted toprehend both the power of the sun and the power of the moon simultaneously, greatly increasing the time needed.


    If Lin Yuan were toprehend only one, with his extraordinary innate understanding, he could likely break through the CelestialPhenomenon Realm in just a year or a few months.


    "Wrong."


    "Wrong."


    "I''ve misunderstood the method to break through the CelestialPhenomenon Realm."


    After observing the essence of the Yin and Yang forces within the True Martial Sword, Lin Yuan immediately became aware of a problem within himself. Several years ago, he quietly broke through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. However, the foundation of Lin Yuan''s entry into the CelestialPhenomenon Realm mainly came from the martial world he traversedst time.


    It''s not that he was wrong, but breaking through to the CelestialPhenomenon Realm in this manner would make the subsequent path more difficult.


    "If I use either the power of the sun or the power of the moon as a foundation to enter the Celestial Phenomenon Realm and then attempt thebination of Yin and Yang to break through the CelestialPhenomenon Realm..."


    Lin Yuan quickly formed thoughts in his mind. He decided to break through the CelestialPhenomenon Realm again.


    For others, attempting to break through the Celestial Phenomenon Realm again would likely require discarding their cultivation and starting anew. However, Lin Yuan possessed extraordinary innate understanding. He quickly deduced a method that allowed him to seamlessly convert his CelestialPhenomenon Realm true qi and true power into the power of the moon or the power of the sun.


    Although there was some loss in the process, it was much better than scrapping everything and starting over.


    "This sword..."


    "Could there truly be a True Martial Emperor in this world?"


    Lin Yuan''s gaze fell once again on the sword in front of him. The inherent essence of the power of the moon and the power of the sun contained within the sword could guide living beings to transcend the CelestialPhenomenon Realm. The strength of such a creation would be inconceivably terrifying.


    The next day, Lin Yuan and the other four disciples gathered outside. Sect Master Cangqing, along with the other two CelestialPhenomenon Realm experts, stood not far away.


    "Alright."


    "The five of you are the future hope of our Tian Shi Sect."


    Sect Master Cangqing''s gaze lingered imperceptibly on Lin Yuan for a moment. Clearly, in Sect Master Cangqing''s eyes, the other four were dispensable. As long as Lin Yuan, the future Celestial Master chosen by the True Martial Sword, was present, it sufficed.


    However, due to the rules of the Tian Shi Sect, the other four were also brought along.


    "Next."


    "I will take you to the True Martial Dao Repository."


    "That is where the past Celestial Masters of our sect secluded themselves in cultivation."


    "There, you will find records of the paths and insights gained by the Celestial Masters."


    Sect Master Cangqing spoke slowly.


    Upon hearing this, excitement appeared on the faces of the four disciples. In Mount Long, the Celestial Master was already a ''legend.'' Being able to visit the ce where the Celestial Masters once cultivated was something every disciple of the Tian Shi Sect longed for.

    When we reach 5 reviews, I will upload a bonus chapter!!


    ...


    The True Martial Arts Treasury is built within the body of Mount Long, extremely concealed.


    The internal space is vast, and the walls are covered with densely packed characters.


    "These characters were written by the Celestial Masters of past generations."


    "They contain the essence of cultivation."


    "Don''t observe them too often."


    "Just asionally is enough."


    Lord Cangqing (Azure Daoist), the head of the sect, reminded.


    Because, apart from Lin Yuan, the other four Dao disciples had already crowded around, staring at the characters on the wall with big eyes.


    Only when Lord Cangqing reminded them did the disciples reluctantly shift their gaze.


    "Your main focus in theing time is toprehend the essence of the Fire Pearl and Ice Pearl."


    Lord Cangqing brought everyone to the center of the treasury.


    There were two stones ced here, one with a fiery red surface and the other with a deep blue surface.


    Faintly, arge amount of heat and cold radiated from them.


    "These Fire Pearl and Ice Pearl are made from the Tian Crystal Stone deep in the East Sea, capable of preserving various auras."


    "Our Celestial Masters of past generations would often infuse their own power into them."


    "umted over the long years, they have formed the Fire Pearl and Ice Pearl we have now."


    Lord Cangqing exined.


    Beside him, Lin Yuan, upon hearing this, seemed to be lost in thought.


    These Fire Pearl and Ice Pearl should be a heavily truncated version of the Sun and Moon forces within the True Martial Sword.


    They are imitations created by the collective power of the Celestial Masters of past generations who sought to simte the essence of the Sun and Moon forces.


    Unfortunately, whether it was due to the material or a significant difference in strength, even if the collective power of the Celestial Masters wasbined to create the Fire Pearl and Ice Pearl, whenpared to the Sun and Moon forces within the True Martial Sword.


    It was still likeparing the light of a firefly to the brilliance of the sun.


    This was Lin Yuan''s first impression.


    While Lin Yuan was contemting, Lord Cangqing continued, "Your main goal now is toprehend the Sun Force and Moon Force from within the Fire Pearl and Ice Pearl."


    "Our sect''s experts generally follow two paths, Taiyin Wuji and Taiyang Wuji."


    "Whether it''s Taiyin Wuji or Taiyang Wuji, as long as youprehend three or four points, you can step into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm."


    Lord Cangqing scanned the whole room and continued speaking.


    This was also the cultivation path set by the first Celestial Master of the sect for the disciples of future generations.


    In fact, it has been proven that these two cultivation paths are indeed very powerful, and the strength of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm in the sect has always been a few steps ahead of those outside.


    They rely on Taiyin Wuji or Taiyang Wuji.


    Even the Celestial Masters of past generations walked on one of the paths of Taiyin Wuji and Taiyang Wuji.


    But Celestial Masters couldprehend the essence of the Sun and Moon forces within the True Martial Sword.


    The effects of that were unknown but certainly much stronger than the Fire Pearl and Ice Pearl before them.


    So, the Celestial Masters have been able to walk far on the paths of Taiyin Wuji and Taiyang Wuji.


    Lord Cangqing finished speaking and sent the four Dao disciples away.


    Then he came to Lin Yuan.


    "You don''t need to sense the Fire Pearl and Ice Pearl."


    Lord Cangqing stared at Lin Yuan.


    Although he didn''t know the secret of the True Martial Sword.


    ording to the records of the sect, when Celestial Masters of past generations came to cultivate in this True Martial Arts Treasury.


    It seemed that they were not very interested in the Fire Pearl and Ice Pearl.


    In such a situation, Celestial Masters have still been able to maintain a lead in the paths of Taiyin Wuji and Taiyang Wuji.


    Lord Cangqing spected that there might be other cultivation methods for the Celestial Masters.


    "Mainly, you should observe the characters on the walls. Those are the insights and realizations of the Celestial Masters, which should be helpful to you."


    This was the advice given by Lord Cangqing to Lin Yuan.


    As Lin Yuan was identified as the future Celestial Master, this advice was given with great emphasis.


    "In case you have any problems or difficulties, you can always call me."


    Before leaving, Lord Cangqing left this sentence specifically for Lin Yuan.


    It was evident that he highly valued Lin Yuan.


    For the following period of time, Lin Yuan did not step out of the True Martial Arts Treasury.


    Food and drink were delivered by the Daoists of the sect.


    There was no need for him to leave.


    In fact, even if Lin Yuan wanted to go out, he could at most stroll around Longhu Mountain (Mount Long).


    The Celestial Seeds selected by the True Martial Sword in each generation, before bing a Celestial Master, were forbidden to leave Longhu Mountain.


    The main reason was to ensure that the True Martial Sword would not be lost.


    The True Martial Sword was crucial for the birth of a Celestial Master in the Tian Shi Sect.


    It absolutely must not be lost.


    Time slowly passed.


    In the blink of an eye, over half a year had gone by.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged in front of a stone wall.


    Numerous characters were carved on it.


    These characters were left by the 18th-generation Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain.


    They narrated the insights and realizations of this Celestial Master on the path of Taiyang Wuji.


    [Your unrivaled insight deepens when watching the Celestial Master''s stone wall, enhancing yourprehension of the Yin-Yang Dao]


    Half an hourter, Lin Yuan opened his eyes.


    "It''s finallypletely transformed."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    During this time, besides contemting the Yin-Yang Dao, Lin Yuan spent the remaining time transforming all his previous Celestial Phenomenon Realm true energy into Yin and Yang forces.


    Stepping into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm with Yin or Yang as a foundation would make one''s strength two to four times stronger than normal.


    And this was just the initial change.


    In terms of potential and cultivation speed, Taiyin Wuji and Taiyang Wuji surpassed many others in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.


    Originally, Lin Yuan needed fifty years to surpass the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.


    However, by converting his foundation into Taiyin Wuji and Taiyang Wuji, even without relying on the essential insights of Yin and Yang from within the True Martial Sword, the time to surpass the Celestial Phenomenon Realm would be at most twenty to thirty years.


    A nearly halved time-saving.


    "Senior Brother Shanfeng."


    "How''s your contemtion going?"


    At this moment, Qingping, a junior Daoist, ran over.


    "Ah, it''s too difficult toprehend the Fire Pearl. Until now, I haven''t realized anything."


    Qingping''s face was full of disappointment.


    "Take it slow."


    "Don''t rush."


    Lin Yuanforted him.


    Qingping had chosen the path of Taiyang Wuji, so he was contemting the Fire Pearl.


    Although the effect of the Fire Pearl was far from that of the True Martial Sword, it was still better than nothing. Given Qingping''s qualifications as a disciple chosen by the Celestial Master''s sword, with patience and contemtion for several or even a dozen years, he would surely gain something.


    "Senior Brother Shanfeng, how''s your contemtion going?"


    Seemingly recalling something, Qingping, full of anticipation, looked at Lin Yuan.


    "I''ve gained a bit."


    After thinking for a moment, Lin Yuan raised his right hand, and a trace of Yin and Yang forces circted and collided between his fingers.


    "Wow."


    "Shanfeng Senior Brother, you''re amazing."


    Qingping widened his eyes.


    Although he was amazed, Qingping didn''t show disbelief.


    As early as when Lin Yuan held the True Martial Sword in the Sword Tomb, all the Daoists felt an irresistible aura emanating from him.


    Later, Lord Cangqing reminded them several times not topare themselves to Lin Yuan.


    Lin Yuan was the future Celestial Master, destined to overlook the world. Comparing themselves to Lin Yuan could easily lead to a disturbance in their mental state.


    By then, it would be challenging to step into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.


    Upon seeing Lin Yuan simultaneously manipting Yin and Yang forces, Qingping, the junior Daoist, could only marvel.


    Seeing this, the other three junior Daoists also gathered around, blinking their big eyes, expressing envy.


    Half a monthter, Lord Cangqing and the other two Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts came over to inspect the progress of the disciples'' cultivation.


    First was Qingping, who struggled to raise his hand, and a faint trace of scorching heat circted.


    "Not bad."


    "You''ve made some progress."


    Lord Cangqing nodded. As someone on the path of Taiyang Wuji, he was particrly sensitive to the fiery aura in the world.


    Next were the three junior Daoists.


    One of them, like Qingping, had barely made progress on the path of Taiyin Wuji.


    The other two still hadn''t made any progress.


    "The paths of Taiyin Wuji and Taiyang Wuji are profound and challenging toprehend. Even with the guidance of the Fire Pearl and Ice Pearl, it''s not an easy task to make progress."


    This was roughly Lord Cangqing''s message, encouraging everyone not to be discouraged and to take their time in contemtion and cultivation.


    After checking the cultivation progress of the four junior Daoists, Lord Cangqing''s gaze fell on Lin Yuan.


    Not only Lord Cangqing but also the other two Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts were focused on Lin Yuan.


    Lin Yuan was chosen by the True Martial Sword and was the seed of the future Celestial Master.


    Among the other four junior Daoists, two had made progress on the paths of Taiyin Wuji and Taiyang Wuji.


    Considering this, what achievements would Lin Yuan, with the strongest qualifications, achieve?


    Lord Cangqing and the other two Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts were highly anticipative.


    "Sect Master."


    Lin Yuan walked forward and raised his right hand.


    Yin and Yang forces emerged, constantly colliding and intertwining, emitting a deeper and more profound aura.


    "Amazing."


    "Senior Brother Shanfeng has be even stronger."


    "I wonder when I can reach Senior Brother Shanfeng''s level."


    Seeing this, the other four junior Daoists began discussing with excitement.


    Among them, even the two who had made progress had only gathered Taiyin or Taiyang forces as fine as a strand of hair.


    In contrast, Lin Yuan had umted Yin and Yang forces as thick as a thumb.


    The disparity was clear at a nce.


    What the junior Daoists didn''t notice was that when Lin Yuan simultaneously operated Yin and Yang forces, not far away, Lord Cangqing''s expression suddenly turned very ugly.


    "Who allowed you to simultaneously cultivate Taiyin Wuji and Taiyang Wuji?"


    Lord Cangqing''s face even turned somewhat red, and he looked at Lin Yuan with a pained expression.


    "Taiyin Wuji and Taiyang Wuji are both supreme paths."


    "But cultivating both simultaneously is a dead end, an absolute road to ruin."


    "Yin and Yang are fundamentally opposing forces. Cultivating them simultaneously may not show problems in the early stages, but the further you go, the more troublesome it bes."


    "The third-generation Celestial Master of our Tian Shi Sect wanted to cultivate both Yin and Yang. He tried to infuse Yin and Yang forces into his Celestial Master''s body, and the result was a burst and death."


    "Do you realize the consequences of your reckless actions?"


    Lord Cangqing was nearly driven mad and couldn''t help but reprimand Lin Yuan.

    ...


    Within the True Martial Sword Repository.


    The furious reprimands of Lord Cangqing reverberated continuously.


    The other four junior Daoists turned pale, disying a fearful expression.


    Even though Lord Cangqing had been strict with them over the long period, he had never been angry, let alone reprimanded them. Even when they hadn''t made progress on the paths of Taiyin Wuji or Taiyang Wuji, Lord Cangqing would only offer a few words of encouragement.


    "Zhang Shanfeng, you were chosen by the True Martial Sword, enjoying unique advantages."


    "I don''t even have the certainty to guide you. That''s why I asked you to read the insights left by the previous generations of Celestial Masters on the stone walls."


    Lord Cangqing''s voice was low, "In those insights, did any of them mention simultaneously cultivating Taiyin Wuji and Taiyang Wuji?"


    "Indeed, none of them did," Lin Yuan nodded.


    All the insights left by the Celestial Masters within the repository focused on either Taiyin Wuji or Taiyang Wuji.


    The simultaneous mention of both paths was indeed absent.


    Because the Celestial Masters of Tian Shi Sect had also chosen to walk either the Taiyin Wuji or Taiyang Wuji path.


    "If that''s the case, why did you act on your own?"


    "The path of cultivation should be taken cautiously. The routes carved by the predecessors with their lives, do you think it''s eptable to change them at will?"


    Lord Cangqing looked disappointedly at Lin Yuan, "Shanfeng, being chosen by the True Martial Sword, all you need to do is follow the prescribed path. Whether you choose Taiyin Wuji or Taiyang Wuji, in a short period of fifty years or a long one of eighty years, you are guaranteed to be a Celestial Master."


    "You are the hope of our Tian Shi Sect, the hope of the world. We all have high expectations for you, but what have you done?"


    Lord Cangqing''s heart was filled with various emotionsanger, disbelief, and sorrow.


    Clearping, the junior Daoist, trembled beside them.


    They also realized that Lin Yuan might have deviated from the correct path in cultivation, or else Lord Cangqing wouldn''t be so angry.


    Lin Yuan was the seed of the Celestial Master.


    If he went astray, it would be even more painful for Lord Cangqing than falling into demonic cultivation himself.


    "Taiyin Wuji and Taiyang Wuji, twopletely opposing paths. By cultivating both simultaneously, your foundation has already been affected. Even if you realize something is wrong in the future, do you think you can go back and start over?"


    Regret surged within Lord Cangqing.


    He should have told Lin Yuan thismon knowledge at the beginning of his cultivation.


    Actually, this was not negligence.


    For the vast majority of people, cultivating Taiyin Wuji or Taiyang Wuji was already extremely difficult.


    Wanting toprehend the path of Taiyang Wuji, which waspletely opposite to Taiyin Wuji, on the premise of already entering Taiyin Wuji, would undoubtedly increase the difficulty tenfold or even a hundredfold.


    So, Lord Cangqing had never thought that Lin Yuan would simultaneously cultivate Taiyin Wuji and Taiyang Wuji.


    Moreover, the insights of the previous Celestial Masters on the stone walls also didn''t mention the simultaneous cultivation of Yin and Yang.


    Lord Cangqing truly couldn''t understand how Lin Yuan managed to merge Taiyin Wuji and Taiyang Wuji.


    "I know," Lin Yuan frowned slightly, "but I feel that cultivating both Taiyin Wuji and Taiyang Wuji is the most correct path."


    Unrivaled Insight wouldn''t deceive him.


    Since Lin Yuan could perceive both Taiyang Wuji and Taiyin Wuji through Unrivaled Insight, the path ahead must not be a dead end.


    "Oh, you feel that way?" Lord Cangqing chuckled.


    Even ordinary people know to learn from history.


    The Tian Shi Sect has a history of six thousand eight hundred years, with thirty-six invincible Celestial Masters who have chosen paths for disciples inter generations.


    However, Lin Yuan casually denied these established paths. Perhaps, to take a step back,bining Yin and Yang might be a path superior to Taiyin Wuji and Taiyang Wuji. Yet, the effort and sacrifices required to traverse this path were unknown.


    Consider the third-generation Celestial Master of Tian Shi Sect, who attempted to bnce Yin and Yang after bing a Celestial Master. The result was a tragic demise, exploding into pieces.


    Exploring new paths inevitably involves sacrifices, even for a Celestial Master. However, Lin Yuan, having gained recognition from the True Martial Sword, was destined to be a Celestial Master. There was no need to take unnecessary risks.


    Ten birds in the woods are not worth one in hand. Rather than choosing a vague path, it''s better to stick with the established ways of the invincible Celestial Masters.


    This was the reason for Lord Cangqing''s intense anger.


    "From today onwards, Shanfeng, you will stay by my side. I will use True Qi daily to temper your body, trying to eliminate the influence of Yin and Yang forces. In no more than ten years, your foundation will be reshaped, and then you can start practicing anew."


    Lord Cangqing spoke after a long silence.


    "What?" The chubby Daoist beside him looked astonished at Lord Cangqing. Even for a peak Celestial Phenomenon expert, using True Qi daily to temper someone else''s body would require a significant sacrifice. Lord Cangqing was essentially sacrificing himself; not only might his cultivation fall back to the initial stage of Celestial Phenomenon, but he might also lose twenty years of lifespan.


    "Senior brother, you..." The Daoist in tattered robes sighed.


    Although Lord Cangqing was stern and strict, he truly considered things from the perspective of Tian Shi Sect. Lin Yuan was the first person chosen by the True Martial Sword in five hundred years. Even though he deviated from the right path, Lord Cangqing didn''t want to give up; he wanted to pull him back as much as possible.


    "Master, I still believe thatbining Yin and Yang is not a dead end. If you choose for me and force me into a different path, I''m afraid I''ll lose interest in cultivation."


    Lin Yuan directly rejected Lord Cangqing''s offer. Mainly because allowing Lord Cangqing to temper his body would expose Lin Yuan''s secret. Secondly, Lin Yuan didn''t think that cultivating both Yin and Yang was wrong at the moment. The constant insights from Unrivaled Insight confirmed that this was a path surpassing the previous Celestial Masters.


    However, Lin Yuan couldn''t explicitly tell Lord Cangqing about this.


    "Very well, this is your choice. Don''t regret it in the future."


    Lord Cangqing shook his head. Even if he was unwilling, he had to let go of Lin Yuan. Cultivation was an extremely personal matter, and Lin Yuan had gained recognition from the True Martial Sword. Lord Cangqing couldn''t force him to do anything.


    Soon after, Lord Cangqing and the other two Celestial Phenomenon experts left the True Martial Sword Repository.


    Lin Yuan returned to the stone wall of the Celestial Masters, deep in thought. He wasn''t scared by Lord Cangqing''s words. As his consciousness descended into the body, even if something happened due to simultaneous cultivation of Yin and Yang, it wouldn''t affect his main body in the primary world.


    In simple terms, Lin Yuan had countless opportunities to start over.


    Furthermore, Lin Yuan didn''t believe he would tread the same path as the third-generation Celestial Master. The third-generation tried to forcibly introduce Yin energy into his body, intending to merge it with the overwhelming Yang energy cultivated for nearly a century. The imbnced Yin and Yang resulted in an explosion, a bizarre urrence.

    ...


    "Senior Brother Shanfeng, are you okay?"


    While Lin Yuan was sorting out his thoughts, Qingping, a junior disciple, cautiously approached.


    The other three junior disciples stood not far away and didn''t dare toe closer.


    "I''m fine," Lin Yuan shook his head.


    Compared to the external political machinations, things on Longhu Mountain were rtively pure. The four junior disciples inside the True Martial Dao Repository usually got along well with Lin Yuan.


    Even when Lin Yuan received a scolding from Cangqing True Man, these disciples didn''t mock him; instead, they expressed genuine concern. Even Lord Cangqing, upon discovering Lin Yuan''s ''deviation,'' didn''t immediately give up but considered a way to bring him back using body refinement, despite the irreversible damage it would cause to himself.


    "It must be that the Master misunderstood."


    "I find it difficult enough toprehend either Taiyin Wuj or Taiyang Wuj. Trying to sense both at the same time is incredibly challenging."


    "Senior Brother Shanfeng, sensing two at once is amazing."


    Qingping junior whispered.


    He wasn''t lying. After gaining a slight understanding of Taiyang Wuj, Qingping tried to sense Taiyin Wuj and found the difficulty skyrocketing. Even with the guidance of Fire Pearls and Ice Pearls, he could barely feel Yin energy. After sessfully entering Taiyang Wuj, he couldn''t sense Yin energy at all, let alone trying toprehend Taiyin Wuj.


    Therefore, Lin Yuan''s simultaneous cultivation of Yin and Yang was considered an incredible feat by Qingping.


    "Is that so?"


    Lin Yuan smiled faintly.


    After chatting with the junior disciples for a while, Lin Yuan once again immersed himself in cultivation. Thanks to his extraordinary insight, he had constant moments of enlightenment.


    Especially after studying the insights left by the past Celestial Masters on the stone wall.


    In Lin Yuan''s mind, the Celestial Masters of the True Martial Dao Repository fell into three categories.


    The first category belonged to the First Generation Master. Undoubtedly, the First Generation Master''s strength stood at the pinnacle among all the Masters, with a substantial lead.


    Following that were the Second, Third, Fifteenth, and Twenty-Eighth Generation Masters. Though not on par with the First Generation Master, they were noticeably stronger than the rest. Each of them had significant achievements on their chosen paths of Taiyin and Taiyang Wuj.


    The remaining Masters, while still surpassing the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, seemed somewhat ''ordinary''pared to those in the first two categories.


    Lin Yuan believed his path shouldn''t be confined by the past Celestial Masters. He was determined to surpass them all.


    "My path should not be limited by the past Celestial Masters. I want to surpass every Celestial Master."


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his heart resolute.


    Just then, he sensed a presence and looked towards the entrance.


    Shortly after, a Daoist from the True Martial Dao Repository walked in.


    "Senior Brother Zhang, someone is looking for you."


    Even if Lord Cangqing didn''t have high expectations or even gave up on him, Lin Yuan''s status within the True Martial Dao Repository remained unparalleled. As a disciple recognized by the True Martial Sword, once he became a Celestial Master, he would have control over the entire True Martial Dao Repository. Even if he didn''t be a Celestial Master, nobody couldmand him, including the current Headmaster.


    "Elder Longqing?"


    Lin Yuan walked out of the True Martial Dao Repository and saw the figure of Daoist Longqing.


    Lin Yuan held great respect for Daoist Longqing. After all, without him back then, Lin Yuan would have struggled to survive in the cold, possibly dying from frostbite or starvation. Despite his extraordinary insight enabling Lin Yuan to constantly break through limits andprehend various techniques, there were still limits.


    As an infant without food, even if he could ''hibernate'' for a while, it wouldn''t be sustainable for long. Moreover, Daoist Longqing had a good rtionship with Lin Yuan''s father. Although he didn''t arrive in time back then, he had treated Lin Yuan well over the years.


    "Shanfeng, I heard that the Headmaster was quite upset with you?" Daoist Longqinglooked at Lin Yuan with approval and spoke casually.


    "I do feel guilty for not meeting the Headmaster''s expectations," Lin Yuan nodded.


    Lord Cangqing''s expectation for Lin Yuan was to be a Master. However, Lin Yuan aimed to surpass the Celestial Masters and be something more than just a Celestial Master.


    "Hahaha, the Headmaster usually keeps his emotions in check. It''s interesting to see him so worked up because of you," Daoist Longqinughed.


    Suddenly, he became serious and said, "Shanfeng, do you know why I came here today?"


    "Did the Headmaster send you to persuade me?" Lin Yuan spected.


    "Indeed," Daoist Longqing nodded. "The Headmaster asked me to talk to you, hoping you would ept the body refinement. He wishes for you to follow the path of the past Celestial Masters and be a Celestial Master like them."


    "But now, it seems I don''t need to persuade you anymore."


    "You just need to live happily. As for whether you be a Celestial Master or not, don''t worry too much about it."


    Daoist Longqingsaid, reminiscing about something, "Back then, when I was on good terms with your father, and your mother was pregnant, I wrote to your father, asking what achievements he hoped his son would attain."


    "I thought your father would say he wanted his son to be a renowned hero, at the very least inheriting the Zhang family estate."


    "However, your father only wished for you to live a happy life."


    "In one''s life, happiness is a way of living, and living under pressure is also a way. Even the Celestial Masters of the True Martial Dao Repository, who were invincible in the world, eventually died thoroughly. As for posthumous fame, who cares after you''re dead?"


    "I just hope that the path you choose won''t lead to regrets in the future."


    Daoist Longqing''s words left Lin Yuan slightly stunned. He originally thought Daoist Longqingwould act as Lord Cangqing''s representative, but he directly spoke from Lin Yuan''s perspective.


    After Daoist Longqingleft, Lin Yuan once again immersed himself in cultivation.


    With the insights left by the past Celestial Masters on the stone wall and the deduction from his extraordinary insight, Lin Yuan''s cultivation speed was significantly faster.


    ording to Lin Yuan''s estimation, in a maximum of ten years, he would be able to simultaneously push Taiyin Wuj and Taiyang Wuj beyond the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.


    On this day, as Lin Yuan was cultivating, a Daoist in tattered robes appeared behind him silently.


    "Elder Pingyang."


    Lin Yuan''s face showed surprise, immediately greeting him.


    Compared to Lord Cangqing, Lin Yuan was more familiar with Daoist Pingyang. Before the journey to the Sword Tomb, Daoist Pingyang often had lively conversations with the disciples at the mountain-side Daoist temple, disying none of the dignified demeanor expected of someone at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.


    "Remarkable. Cultivating both Taiyin and Taiyang Wuj is something even the past Celestial Masters of the True Martial Dao Repository didn''t achieve."


    Daoist Pingyang nodded appreciatively, expressing his admiration.


    Among the 36 Celestial Masters of the True Martial Dao Repository, only the Third Generation Celestial Master had considered cultivating both Yin and Yang paths. However, he attempted to introduce Yin energy after bing a Celestial Master and the result was less than ideal.


    Lin Yuan, even before bing a Celestial Master, was already contemting these matters and had put them into practice, truly living up to the recognition of the True Martial Sword.


    "Thank you for your praise, Senior Uncle."


    Lin Yuan remained calm.


    "However, have you considered the path ahead? Cultivating both Taiyin Wuj and Taiyang Wuj, you may be able to reach the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. But stepping into the realm of a Celestial Master and surpassing the Celestial Phenomenon Realm requires your true energy to undergo a transformation. When you cultivate both Yin and Yang, once the transformation begins, the Yin and Yang energies will repel each other. The consequences, you should be aware of."


    Daoist Pingyang warned.


    The consequence is the same as that of the Third Generation Celestial Master, exploding and dying.


    "Senior Uncle, regarding this matter, I have already thought about it."


    "The reason why Yin and Yang energies repel during the true energy transformation is because they are not originally one entity."


    "As long as I fuse the Yin and Yang energies before that, creating apletely new force, and then break through the Celestial Phenomenon Realm again..."


    Lin Yuan shared his thoughts.


    This was the result of continuous deduction using his extraordinary insight over the past few days, leading to the subsequent path.


    "Fuse Yin and Yang energies?"


    "That meansbining Taiyin Wuj and Taiyang Wuj together?"


    "Are you out of your mind? Twopletely opposite forces, you can''t even cultivate both at the same time, and now you want to fuse them?"


    Daoist Pingyang swallowed hard, truly shocked by Lin Yuan''s idea.


    It was like trying to merge fire and water.


    The final result would either be the fire extinguished and part of the water evaporated, or the waterpletely evaporated, and the fire suffered significant damage.


    More likely, both fire and water would disintegrate simultaneously, with no other possibility.


    "You''re crazy. You''re really crazy."


    "Fusing Taiyin Wuj and Taiyang Wuj, how absurd. Since ancient times, no one has dared to do this."


    "Even the First Generation Celestial Master couldn''t do it."


    "For generations toe, it''s impossible for anyone to have such an idea."


    Daoist Pingyang muttered to himself, looking at Lin Yuan with incredulous eyes.


    Combining two extreme forces through the adjustment of the human body was challenging enough, but fusion? That was seeking death.


    Daoist Pingyang opened his mouth to say something more but eventually decided against it.


    He could see that Lin Yuan''s determination was unwavering, and he truly wanted to merge the two paths of Yin and Yang.


    "Ah..."


    Daoist Pingyang sighed and turned away.


    Lin Yuan watched Daoist Pingyang''s departing figure and then walked out of the repository. Standing outside, he looked down from a high vantage point at the mountain below.


    "Ancient people didn''t dare, and future generations couldn''t."


    Lin Yuan raised his head slightly, and within the deep recesses of his eyes, the Yin and Yang energies continued to intertwine and collide.


    "I will do it." (Ush, how cool ;D)

    Eight yearster.


    At the summit of Longhu Mountain.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on a huge rock.


    The raindrops fell from the sky, evaporating into nothingness within a few feet of Lin Yuan.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes, overlooking the morning clouds drifting.


    "Yin Energy and Yang Energy may seem like twopletely opposite paths, but fundamentally, they are a part of the vast heavens and earth. Yin can transform into Yang, and Yang can transform into Yin."


    Deep within Lin Yuan''s dantian, Yin and Yang energies manifested as ck and white, continuously colliding, dissipating, and regenerating without apparent end.


    For these eight years, Lin Yuan had immersed himself almost entirely inprehending Yin Energy and Yang Energy.


    Even his cultivation level had not advanced a bit, remaining at the early stage of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.


    For Lin Yuan, mastering Yin Energy and Yang Energy made little difference between the early and peak stages of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.


    "This True Martial Sword."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts moved, and the True Martial Sword hovered in front of him.


    The more heprehended, the more Lin Yuan discovered the terrifying nature of the True Martial Sword.


    Topress the essence of Yin and Yang energies into a Sword, avable for future generations toprehend, was an unimaginable level of control.


    Over these years, without this True Martial Sword, Lin Yuan''s progress inprehension might have been reduced.


    "Mastering Yin Energy and Yang Energy is not difficult, but fusing them is indeed a nearly impossible task. Ordinary people who attempt this would end up dead."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    No wonder Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts like Cangqing and others believed it to be a dead-end path.


    Even a formidable Celestial Master dared not attempt this; the Third Generation Celestial Master was a ring example.


    As one of the powerful Celestial Masters in the second tier among the thirty-six Celestial Masters of the Tian Shi Sect, the Third Generation Celestial Master knew the consequences of forcibly introducing Yin Energy.


    "I am different from the Third Generation Celestial Master."


    "The Third Generation Celestial Master tried to bnce Yin and Yang after bing a Celestial Master."


    "But at that time, the foundation was already established. I am different; I have not yet be a Celestial Master. Bncing Yin and Yang, and then fusing Yin and Yang, is entirely possible."


    Lin Yuan silently thought.


    Of course, the ''entirely possible'' here referred to Lin Yuan with his extraordinary insight.


    For another person, even with exceptional talent and the recognition of the True Martial Sword, attempting to bnce Yin and Yang, let alone fusing them, would be a faint hope.


    Firstly, how to enter the initial stage of Yin Energy or Yang Energy after entering one of them?


    Secondly, during the period of bncing Yin and Yang, how to fuse them? In this process, any slight mistake would lead to the consequence of exploding the body.


    Lin Yuan had the extraordinary insight, which allowed him to grasp a slim chance of survival in any situation.


    The terrifying aspect of extraordinary insight was its ability toprehend the most advantageous methods for oneself, regardless of the circumstances.


    Like eighteen years ago, when Lin Yuan was still a baby and was about to be discovered by a wild beast, he realized the breath-holding technique.


    At the brink of starvation, heprehended the hibernation breathing technique.


    Both of these techniques did not require any internal energy or true qi but were created entirely based on Lin Yuan''s circumstances at the time.


    "Fusion is close."


    "Just a bit more, and I can break through the Celestial Phenomenon Realm with the power of Yin and Yang."


    Lin Yuan felt the collision and interweaving of Yin and Yang forces deep within his dantian, with anticipation in his heart.


    ording to his estimation, breaking through the Celestial Phenomenon Realm with the power of Yin and Yang would make him stronger than all the Celestial Masters of the Tian Shi Sectbined.


    How could the power of individual Yin and Yang energiespare to the fused Yin and Yang forces?


    After examining himself.


    Lin Yuan''s gaze inadvertently flickered towards the outside of Longhu Mountain.


    "These years, it hasn''t been peaceful outside."


    In fact, since more than twenty years ago, when the Demon Sect made aeback, the world had not seen peace.


    However, with the suppression of righteous forces like the Tian Shi Sect, the Demon Sect did not dare to act too recklessly.


    Nevertheless, five years ago, a sudden piece of news spread from the Demon Sect.


    The Sect Master of the Demon Sect had obtained the inheritance of the Primordial Demon Sect.


    Primordial Demon Sect was an incredibly ancient force that, theoretically, should have vanished from history long ago.


    Since the establishment of the Tian Shi Sect six thousand eight hundred years ago, the sessive Celestial Masters of the Tian Shi Sect had always been synonymous with invincibility.


    However, invincibility did not mean that others couldn''te close.


    Six thousand eight hundred years ago, the first Celestial Master emerged with the True Martial Sword.


    That era belonged to the first Celestial Master.


    But in that same era, another powerful figure was born.


    That was the Primordial Demon Lord.


    Although the Primordial Demon Lord couldn''t defeat the first Celestial Master, the first Celestial Master also couldn''tpletely kill him.


    In the end, the first Celestial Master sacrificed himself in a battle and finally killed the Primordial Demon Lord.


    However, even though the Primordial Demon Lord was dead, the Primordial Demon Sect continued to exist.


    Over the next few centuries, with the joint efforts of the second and third Celestial Masters of the Tian Shi Sect, theypletely wiped out the Primordial Demon Sect.


    Afterward, for thousands of years, the Primordial Demon Sect disappeared from the scene and never reappeared.


    "The Tian Shi Sect hasn''t produced a new Celestial Master for too long, as long as five hundred years."


    "Without the deterrence of a new Celestial Master, the influence of demonic forces has grown rapidly, leading to the rise of the Demon Sect today."


    ording to the tradition of the sessive Celestial Masters of the Tian Shi Sect, each Celestial Master, upon bing a Celestial Master, would first descend the mountain to eliminate demons and suppress demonic influences.


    Now, five hundred years had passed without the emergence of a new Celestial Master. In this situation, although the forces of the Tian Shi Sect and other righteous factions still held the upper hand, it undoubtedly provided ample time for the development of demonic forces.


    Compared to the righteous path, demonic cultivation techniques were easier to cultivate, and even absorbing human blood could quickly enhance their strength.


    This was also the reason why Zhang Family Vige was annihted.


    Apart from the vast wealth of the Zhang Family, there were enough people and even strong individuals.


    In the eyes of demonic cultivators, these were no different from tempting delicacies.


    "Regardless of whether the news about the Demon Sect obtaining the inheritance of the Primordial Demon Sect is true or false, this information will undoubtedly boost the reputation of the demonic forces."


    Lin Yuan squinted his eyes slightly.


    Speaking of which, he had grievances with the Demon Sect.


    Eighteen years ago, when Lin Yuan was just born, the entire Zhang Family Vige was wiped out by the eight leaders of the Demon Sect.


    His biological parents died that day.


    "Senior Shanfeng."


    "Senior Shanfeng."


    At this moment, a shout came.


    A young Taoist was running over.


    "I knew Senior Shanfeng would be here."


    Seeing Lin Yuan, the young Taoist grinned.


    "It''s Qingping."


    Lin Yuan turned around and nced.


    The young Taoist who hade looking for him was none other than Qingping, the former little Taoist.


    Eight years had passed, and Qingping had grown considerably. Coupled with his cultivation, he was almost indistinguishable from an ordinary adult man.

 Chapter 37

    Chapter 37


    Review the novel on novelupdate: /series/creating-heavenlyws/


    When we reach 5 reviews, I will upload a bonus chapter!!


    ...


    Over the years, Lin Yuan has been a lone wanderer.


    Nevertheless, he gets along well with Qingping.


    Mainly because Qingping oftenes over to chat with Lin Yuan, whether there''s anything going on or not.


    Incidentally, he talks about various news on Longhu Mountain.


    Apart from Qingping, Elder Changqing visits Lin Yuan every once in a while.


    For Elder Changqing, Lin Yuan is no different from his own offspring.


    Regardless of whether Lin Yuan bes a Celestial Master or not, Elder Changqing''s attitude remains unchanged.


    In Elder Changqing''s heart, there has always been a sense of guilt towards Lin Yuan.


    If he had arrived in time back then, Zhang Family might not have met such an end.


    And Lin Yuan wouldn''t have lived a frugal life on Longhu Mountain from a young age.


    "A few days ago, the sect leader asked the four of us to go down the mountain for training."


    Qingping casually mentioned.


    The ''four of us'' he referred to are the four disciples who received the Celestial Master''s sword during the Sword Mound journey.


    Although they can''tpare to Lin Yuan, chosen by the True Martial Sword.


    But now, they are also the hope of the Tian Shi Sect.


    As for why they go down the mountain one by one, it is to prevent extreme events.


    For example, if all four of them were to die at the same time.


    With Lin Yuan, the Celestial Master''s seed, taking a ''deviating path,'' if all four Celestial Phenomenon Realm seeds were to die, Longhu Mountain would be at least fifty years in turmoil.


    "Go down the mountain?"


    Lin Yuan was slightly curious.


    Having been aware in this world for eighteen years, Lin Yuan had only been outside on the day he was born.


    The rest of the time, he stayed on Longhu Mountain.


    "Senior Shanfeng, you are the Celestial Master''s seed, different from us, you can''t go down the mountain."


    Seeing this, Qingping immediately felt a bit uneasy.


    Now, he was no longer an ignorant little disciple.


    He knew the importance of the Celestial Master''s seed to the Tian Shi Sect.


    Only disciples recognized by the True Martial Sword can be the Celestial Master''s seed.


    And each Celestial Master''s seed always has the True Martial Sword by their side.


    If Lin Yuan were to go down the mountain, it would mean the True Martial Sword would go down with him.


    In case of an ident leading to the loss of the True Martial Sword, it would be an unprecedented blow to the Tian Shi Sect.


    The current sect leader of this generation would probably be infuriated to the point of spitting blood.


    While the deviation of Lin Yuan, the Celestial Master''s seed, is indeed serious, it doesn''t shake the foundation of the Tian Shi Sect.


    At worst, after Lin Yuan dies of old age, the True Martial Sword will return to the Sword Mound, and the Tian Shi Sect will still have hope for the birth of the next Celestial Master.


    But if the True Martial Sword is lost, then it would truly be an irreversible disaster.


    Qingping could fully anticipate that if Lin Yuan were to sneak out because of him, Daoist Cangqing might want to y him alive.


    "Just kidding."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    He''s not a real eighteen-year-old youth.


    Considering all the time, Lin Yuan''s actual age is probably over fifty.


    Add to that his unrivaled insight; he doesn''t really need so-called training outside the mountain.


    For Lin Yuan, Longhu Mountain is the best ce; everything he needs is avable, and it''s extremely safe.


    How could he possibly think about going down the mountain?


    "That''s good."


    Qingping let out a sigh of relief.


    "By the way, Senior Shanfeng."


    "I''ve been feeling strange in my recent cultivation."


    After chatting for a while, Qingping brought up the topic of cultivation again.


    Lin Yuan casually asked a few questions and roughly figured out the reason.


    "You''re wrong."


    "Your state of mind is wrong."


    "You are on the path of the Sun''s Infinite Extremity."


    "The Sun''s Infinite Extremity, utmost strength and yang, out-and-out perseverance. Throughout the history of our Tian Shi Sect, thirty-six Celestial Masters, most of them followed the path of the Sun''s Infinite Extremity, including the strongest, the first-generation Celestial Master."


    "What is the Sun''s Infinite Extremity? Utmost strength and yang, forging ahead without hesitation."


    Lin Yuan hit the nail on the head, slowly speaking.


    It''s not that those who follow the path of the Sun''s Infinite Extremity are reckless.


    It''s about having a mindset of unwavering determination, acting decisively.


    "So that''s how it is."


    Qingping suddenly realized.


    Indeed, he was quite excited about the matter of going down the mountain for training, wanting to explore the outside world and fearing encountering danger.


    Now, after Lin Yuan''s reminder, his mindset suddenly became clear.


    Hum.


    Qingping felt the Qi flowing smoothly within his body, and a hot airflow surged through his limbs and bones incessantly.


    "Third grade."


    After a moment, Qingping opened his eyes, looking excited.


    Taking advantage of Lin Yuan''s reminder, he actually directly broke through from the fourth grade to the third grade.


    It''s important to note that in this world, the levels of cultivation are divided into nine grades.


    The ninth grade is the lowest, and the first grade is the highest.


    The third grade is already among the top three grades; even on Longhu Mountain, it can be considered a powerful cultivator.


    "Thank you, Senior Shanfeng, for your guidance."


    Qingping bowed deeply to Lin Yuan.


    He knew in his heart that if it weren''t for Lin Yuan''s words, not only might he not have broken through to the third grade, but his cultivation might have even regressed.


    "No need to thank me."


    Lin Yuan waved his hand, indifferent.


    At his current level, guiding a cultivator who hasn''t even reached the Celestial Phenomenon Realm is nothing more than child''s y.


    In the True Martial Hall.


    Daoist Cangqing rubbed his forehead, a hint of fatigue shing in his expression.


    With the continuous disturbances from the Demon Sect outside, and the fact that the Tian Shi Sect can''t deal with them alone, they have to unite with other righteous forces to suppress them.


    Coupled with the fact that the leader of the Demon Sect received the inheritance of the Original Demon Sect, it boosted the morale of the demonic forces.


    As a result, every sh between the righteous and demonic forces ended with the defeat of the righteous side.


    The various pressures make Daoist Cangqing feel a bit breathless.


    "It seems that the leader of the Demon Sect is indeed a remnant of the Original Demon Sect. When the previous Celestial Master traveled the world, he discovered traces of the Original Demon Sect, but couldn''t find the source."


    "At that time, he thought it was a coincidence, but now it seems that the remnants of the Original Demon Sect existed at that time."


    "Over the years, the Demon Sect has been secretly supported by the remnants of the Original Demon Sect."


    The chubby real person beside him spoke.


    As the ancestralnd of the Daoist sect and the foremost sect in the world, Longhu Mountain and, in particr, the Tian Shi Sect, naturally have excellent intelligence capabilities. They quickly figured out the details of the Demon Sect.


    "It''s toote to say these now."


    Daoist Cangqing shook his head. The most important thing now is how to continue suppressing the Demon Sect.


    Just at this moment, a figure rushed in from outside.


    It was Qingping.


    "Master, I have reached the third grade."


    Qingping''s tone was light, sharing this good news.


    As the Celestial Phenomenon Realm seed of the Tian Shi Sect, Qingping and the other three disciples have always been directly taught by Daoist Cangqing.


    Whenever any of them makes progress in cultivation, they are required to inform Daoist Cangqing immediately.


    "Third grade?"


    "So fast?"


    Daoist Cangqing, upon hearing this, furrowed his brows slightly.


    It''s not that he doesn''t want Qingping to break through, but he is worried that Qingping used some shortcut.


    ording to the cultivation speed of disciples who obtained the Celestial Master''s sword in previous generations, it would take at least fifteen to twenty years to advance to the third grade.


    And Qingping, since the beginning of his cultivation, hasn''t even reached ten years.


    His cultivation speed is obviously abnormal.


    "The foundation is solid, I don''t see any problems." The chubby real person stepped forward, carefully observing Qingping for a while before concluding.


    Upon hearing this, Daoist Cangqing finally rxed his brows.


    "Qingping, what''s going on with your cultivation speed?"


    Daoist Cangqing still felt somewhat surprised.


    "Master, it''s Senior Shanfeng who guided me. That''s why I broke through so quickly." Qingping truthfully replied.


    Before this, although Qingping often received guidance from Lin Yuan,pared to the other three disciples, his cultivation speed was only slightly faster, still within normal limits.


    Therefore, Daoist Cangqing did not inquire further, only thinking that it was Qingping''s own effort.


    However, this time, jumping from the fourth grade to the third grade normally takes five to eight years.


    Qingping''s effortless breakthrough naturally caught Daoist Cangqing''s attention.


    "Is it Senior Shanfeng who guided you?"


    Daoist Cangqing''s tone sounded somewhat astonished.


    A few casual pieces of guidance that could allow Qingping to advance to the third grade indicated that his strength should be far beyond the third grade. It''s something that even most Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts might not achieve.


    "Yes, these years Senior Shanfeng has been guiding me. He''s amazing; every word he says enlightens me, and then my strength improves."


    Qingping''s words undoubtedly struck like thunder in the ears of Daoist Cangqing and other Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts.


    Every word he says.


    Enlightens people.


    And then strength improves.


    These three sentences may seem ordinary, but in the ears of Daoist Cangqing and other experts, it signaled something unusual.


    To achieve such a scene, one must have a profound understanding of the essence of cultivation and the essence of power.


    And this, unexpectedly, came from Lin Yuan, who had already beenpletely abandoned by Daoist Cangqing?


    "I also feel that Senior Shanfeng is very strong. Seeing Senior Shanfeng is like seeing the master."


    Seeing Daoist Cangqing silent, Qingping gathered courage and spoke.


    As soon as these words came out, the surroundings fell silent once again.


    Simr to Daoist Cangqing?


    Daoist Cangqing is a Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert, isn''t he?


    Could it be that Lin Yuan is also a Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert?


    Entering the Celestial Phenomenon Realm before the age of twenty, there has never been such a case in the history of Celestial Masters.


    "Could it be that Shanfeng is truly an unprecedented genius?"


    The chubby real person''s expression was shocked, muttering to himself.


    "Genius."


    Daoist Cangqing fell into silence.


    Soon, a bitter expression appeared on his face.


    If what Qingping said is true, then Lin Yuan is truly a genius.


    A genius surpassing everyone''s imagination.


    However, even if he''s a genius, what difference does it make? Practicing both the Yin and Yang Infinite Paths, the limit is the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, and it''s impossible to reach the heights of the past Celestial Masters.


    Because the power of Yin and Yang within the body bursts at the moment of bing a Celestial Master.


    "So young, yet possessing such an understanding of the essence of power. In our Tian Shi Sect..."


    The chubby real person paused halfway through his words.


    At this moment, a deeply pained thought surged in his heart.


    Such a genius.


    Why choose to deviate from the right path?


    ...

    Chapter 38


    Review the novel on novelupdate: /series/creating-heavenlyws/


    When we reach 5 reviews, I will upload a bonus chapter!!


    ...


    Time flows like a river.


    In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.


    Lin Yuan''s life has hardly changed.


    Not in the insights left by the previous Celestial Masters within the True Martial Dao Treasury.


    But on top of Longhu Mountain, watching the sea of clouds.


    Apart from asionalmunication with Qingping, he hardly speaks a word.


    Master Azure Daoist Cangqing learned of Qingping entering the third realm, thanks to Lin Yuan''s guidance.


    He wanted to have a conversation with Lin Yuan, but was quickly distracted by external events.


    The Demon Sect is about to engage in a decisive battle.


    The Demon Sect Master, along with nine vice sect masters, forty-three protectors, one hundred and twenty-six helmsmen, and thousands of demons, is determined to attack Longhu Mountain.


    Longhu Mountain is the ancestralnd of the Dao sect, and the Celestial Master Sect (Tian Shi Sect, it''s the same) is the foremost sect in the world, producing invincible Celestial Masters throughout generations.


    As long as Longhu Mountain is conquered and the Celestial Master Sect is destroyed, who in the world can stop the footsteps of the Demon Sect?


    The True Martial Hall.


    The atmosphere is tense.


    Various Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts, led by Azure Daoist Cangqing, gathered together.


    Most of these Celestial Phenomenon Realm expertse from other forces across the world, responding to the call of the Celestial Master Sect.


    Everyone understands the principle of mutual dependence. If the Demon Sect really conquers the Celestial Master Sect, other righteous forces will be next.


    During peacetime, righteous forces have in many demons.


    Once the Demon Sect gains power, their fate will not be much better than that of the Celestial Master Sect.


    "The nine vice sect masters of the Demon Sect are all in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, and the forty-three protectors are in the third realm. This won''t be easy to deal with," says a middle-aged woman-looking Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert.


    Other Celestial Phenomenon Realm powerhouses nod slightly at her words.


    Together, they have eleven Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts, surpassing the Demon Sect by two.


    However, Demon Sect''s Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts are formidable and skilled inbat. Even if two righteous Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts team up against one from the Demon Sect, the oue is uncertain.


    "But it doesn''t matter," says Azure Daoist Cangqing, the sect master of the Celestial Master Sect.


    In terms ofbat power, the Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts who follow the path of Taiyin Wujie or Taiyang Wujie are obviously stronger than those of the Demon Sect.


    This has been confirmed in multiple past confrontations.


    Azure Daoist Cangqing has effortlessly repelled several vice sect masters of the Demon Sect in three encounters.


    Even the Demon Sect Master chose to retreat when facing Azure Daoist Cangqing.


    However, under the current circumstances, the Demon Sect is daring to initiate a decisive battle, intending to attack Longhu Mountain?


    This gives Azure Daoist Cangqing a bad premonition.


    Two possibilities exist.


    One, the Demon Sect has gone mad and is ready to fight to the death.


    Two, the Demon Sect has sufficient confidence and believes it can conquer Longhu Mountain.


    Azure Daoist Cangqing thinks the former is unlikely. In his numerous interactions with the Demon Sect Master, he is aware of thetter''s extremely calm personality. He wouldn''t undertake something without certainty.


    This is also the reason the Demon Sect Master chose to retreat without directly engaging with Azure Daoist Cangqing  not out of fear, but out of a desire to avoid wasting time.


    On this day, Qingping hastily ascends to the top of Longhu Mountain.


    "Senior Brother Shanfeng, something''s wrong. Master Changqing... Master Changqing, he..."


    Qingping''s face is pale as he carefully looks at Lin Yuan.


    "What happened to Master Changqing?"


    Lin Yuan opens his eyes and turns to look at Qingping.


    "When Senior Changqing Daoist pursued the demon leader, he fell into an ambush. By the time we arrived, he was already heavily injured and unconscious. The Sect Master and others have examined him and said that demonic energy has entered his lungs, making it difficult for him to wake up."


    Qingping exined the situation in one breath.


    "Take me to see him."


    Lin Yuan said directly.


    No matter what, if it weren''t for Senior Changqing Daoist back then, he wouldn''t have survived to this day.


    Although, for Lin Yuan, death is not the end. It''s just a waste of a chance to traverse.


    Inside the Daoist Institute,


    Lin Yuan looks at the unconscious Senior Changqing Daoist.


    Qingping stands beside, his face showing sorrow.


    Senior Changqing Daoist has a good rtionship with the Celestial Master Sect, and Qingping has received countless help. In Qingping''s heart, Senior Changqing Daoist is more like an elder than just a senior uncle.


    "It''s nothing serious."


    Lin Yuan carefully examines him andes to a conclusion.


    Senior Changqing Daoist fought with the demon leader, who infused demonic energy into him, causing him to lose consciousness and be unable to wake up.


    This kind of infusion is difficult for outsiders to intervene in, even the peak of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm can''t do much.


    But as long as Lin Yuan, using the power of Yin and Yang as a foundation, breaks through the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, it will be an easy task to deal with this demonic energy infusion.


    "Take care of Senior Changqing. I''lle to save him in a while."


    Lin Yuan instructs Qingping.


    Now, he is only a step away frompletely integrating Yin and Yang. The insights into the Unrivaled Insight are deepening every moment, bringing Lin Yuan closer to the level of the Celestial Master.


    "Alright."


    Qingping hesitates for a moment and responds.


    Thea of Senior Changqing Daoist has not affected Lin Yuan much. He is always in a state of enlightenment.


    With the help of Unrivaled Insight, Lin Yuan is in a state of enlightenment whether he is awake or asleep.


    [Your insight is unrivaled, and your understanding of the Yin and Yang Dao is deepening.]


    [Your insight is unrivaled, and your understanding of the Yin and Yang Dao is deepening.]


    [Your insight is unrivaled, and your understanding of the Yin and Yang Dao is deepening.]


    Lin Yuan sits cross-legged on a giant stone, his mind free of distractions, continuing toprehend the power of Yin and Yang.


    It must be said that the power of Yin and Yang is the highest-level force Lin Yuan has ever encountered.


    Justprehending this power has taken nearly ten years for Lin Yuan.


    This is still with the help of the Unrivaled Insight ability.


    Of course,pared to other powerhouses in this world, even the Celestial Masters of past generations, Lin Yuan''sprehension and cultivation speed are beyond reason, impossible to describe by any measure.


    Several hundred miles away from Longhu Mountain,


    Inside a dark hall,


    A tall man in ck robes sits on the main seat.


    This tall man has pitch-ck eyes. Just a nce from an ordinary person would breed inner demons, with various desires surging out.


    "Master."


    "Engaging in a decisive battle with the Celestial Master Sect so early, is it..."


    On the right below, an old man with wrinkled skin cautiously asks.


    The Celestial Master Sect''s background is immeasurable, having produced thirty-six invincible Celestial Masters.


    Even other righteous forces will not sit idly by; they will undoubtedly provide full support.


    Although the Demon Sect is powerful, it is not advisable to confront the Celestial Master Sect head-on.


    "A bunch of useless people."


    "If this seat didn''t have confidence."


    "Would I make such a decision?"


    The Demon Sect Master, sitting on the main seat, coldly snorts.


    The various demon followers below break out in a cold sweat.


    Even the nine vice sect masters who have reached the Celestial Phenomenon Realm feel a chill down their spines.


    They know their own potential, and with their potential, it''s impossible for them to enter the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. The Demon Sect Master, by some means, forcibly elevated them to this realm.


    Although the sacrifice was significant, at least thirty to forty years of lifespan, the nine vice sect masters have no regrets. This is the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, a realm that many people dream of, and the feeling of standing at the pinnacle of the world is something no one would disdain.


    "I know what you''re worried about."


    The Demon Sect Master slowly stands up from the main seat.


    "But this seat has already stepped into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. As long as the Celestial Master Sect doesn''t produce a Celestial Master, with my strength, I can sweep them aside."


    The Demon Sect Master''s eyes are deep and mysterious.

    Chapter 39

    ...


    Stepping into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm by half a step.


    The nine vice sect masters below were surprised.


    Although surpassing the restrictions of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm is not exclusive to the Celestial Masters of the Celestial Master Sect, there are still a very few other inheritances outside the Celestial Master Sect.


    These inheritances can exceed the limits of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm by either a small orrge half-step. However, achieving such a level is extremely rare.


    And now, has their Sect Master also achieved it?


    "Hmph, if this seat couldpletely absorb the inheritance of the Original Demon Sect, it wouldn''t be just stepping out by half a step."


    The Demon Sect Master nced at the numerous subordinates below, and in his mind, images of everything he experienced in the inheritancend of the Original Demon Sect shed by.


    It was a great opportunity he obtained after surviving life-threatening situations.


    Moreover, it could only be entered once. Even if he wanted to enter again, it would be impossible, and he couldn''t even confirm the corresponding location range.


    As time passed,


    The decisive battle between the Demon Sect and righteous forces like the Celestial Master Sect approached.


    Six monthster,


    At the foot of Longhu Mountain,


    The Demon Sect gathered with thousands of demonic followers.


    The Celestial Master Sect, unwilling to show weakness, had various Celestial Phenomenon Realm expertsing out.


    They confronted the Demon Sect.


    "Hahaha."


    "Azure Daoist Cangqing, don''t you think that when I voluntarily withdrew before, it was because I was afraid of you?"


    The Demon Sect Masterughed wildly, and a terrifying demonic aura swept in all directions.


    Facing him, Azure Daoist Cangqing remained calm, unaffected.


    "Remnants of the Original Demon Sect, haven''t you been hunted by the sessive Celestial Masters of my Celestial Master Sect enough?"


    Azure Daoist Cangqing said indifferently.


    "So what?"


    "Your Celestial Master Sect hasn''t produced a Celestial Master in five hundred years."


    "In the end, this world belongs to our Original Demon Sect."


    The Demon Sect Master no longer bothered to disguise, and the emitted aura became even more oppressive.


    Hearing this, Azure Daoist Cangqing sighed inwardly.


    If Lin Yuan hadn''t taken the wrong path, the Celestial Master Sect could have produced another Celestial Master.


    However, it''s useless in the current situation. Even if it''s a Celestial Master, it takes time to grow.


    ording to the cultivation speed of the sessive Celestial Masters of the Celestial Master Sect, it would take a minimum of fifty years to be a Celestial Master.


    When Celestial Masters of the Celestial Master Sect descend from Longhu Mountain, most are already in their sixties or seventies.


    Even if everything goes smoothly for Lin Yuan, without taking any detours, he still needs fifty years to be a Celestial Master.


    "Today, let you, Azure Daoist Cangqing, witness my true strength."


    Seeing Azure Daoist Cangqing silent, the Demon Sect Masterughed again. He raised his right hand and lightly tapped.


    Boom!


    A terrifying aura crushed from all directions.


    Seeing this, Azure Daoist Cangqing didn''t hesitate to draw his sword.


    Hum!


    An extremely sharp sword qi erupted, directly piercing through the surrounding demonic energy and shing towards the Demon Sect Master.


    "Celestial Master''s Sword?"


    "Not bad. With your strength, using the Celestial Master''s Sword and activating the residual power of the Celestial Master inside, you can indeed unleash a power close to my own."


    The Demon Sect Mastermented.


    As a generation of Sect Master of the Celestial Master Sect, Azure Daoist Cangqing was naturally cultivated as a potential in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm when he was young. He had also entered the Sword Tomb and was chosen by a Celestial Master''s Sword.


    Although the Celestial Master''s Sword is far inferior to the True Martial Sword, it still contains the essential power of Yin and Yang.


    But, nurtured day and night by the sessive Celestial Masters, it retains some of the power of the Celestial Masters.


    The Celestial Master Sect''s Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts, walking the same path, could fully activate the power deep within the Celestial Master Sword when exerting all their efforts.


    "Too bad."


    "Even if it''s the Celestial Master''s Sword, it''s just an external object. Even if you can activate it, how long can you sustain it?"


    The Demon Sect Master sneered.


    "Even if all the Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts of your Celestial Master Sect each hold a Celestial Master Sword and join forces to besiege me, at most, you''ll only be suppressing me until your strength runs out."


    The Demon Sect Master''s gaze turned cold.


    In fact, the Celestial Master Sect''s Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts couldn''t really besiege the Demon Sect Master with Azure Daoist Cangqing because they didn''t have enough people. This allowed the Demon Sect''s Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts to act recklessly.


    "Die."


    The Demon Sect Master took a step forward, and a terrifying and frenzied demonic energy covered the area.


    "Not good."


    Azure Daoist Cangqing''s expression changed.


    At the top of Longhu Mountain,


    In stark contrast to the heavy and solemn atmosphere at the mountain''s base,


    The sun was rising here, with a hint of warmth permeating the air.


    Lin Yuan remained seated on the giant rock, focused on his insights.


    "Shanfeng Senior Brother."


    Qingping didn''t know when he ran up.


    "The Sect Master asked me to tell you to leave Longhu Mountain through the secret passage now."


    Qingping quickly said.


    Azure Daoist Cangqing didn''t have full confidence in the uing battle against the Demon Sect.


    To ensure the continuation of the Celestial Master Sect''s heritage, Lin Yuan, this disciple recognized by the True Martial Sword, had to leave.


    In this way, even if an extreme situation urred, the Celestial Master Sect''s heritage wouldn''t bepletely cut off. As long as the True Martial Sword didn''t fall into the hands of the Demon Sect, the possibility of a new Celestial Master being born in the future would still exist.


    "Shanfeng Senior Brother?"


    Qingping saw that Lin Yuan didn''t respond, so he called out softly again.


    However, Lin Yuan, with his back to him, remained indifferent. His eyes were slightly closed, seemingly wandering in a trance.


    "Shanfeng Senior Brother?"


    Just as Qingping spected whether Lin Yuan had fallen asleep and was about to go forward to give him a nudge,


    Lin Yuan, sitting on the giant rock, suddenly opened his eyes.


    [Your insight is unrivaled. Day and night in enlightenment, you''veprehended the method of merging Yin and Yang, and with this, you''ve surpassed the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.]


    Lin Yuan''s eyes were clear.


    "So that''s how it is."


    Lin Yuan stood up from the giant rock.


    At this moment, in his vision, everything in the world was divided into Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang transformed into ck and white, into Yin and Yang fish, constantly interweaving and merging.


    "Shanfeng Senior Brother, what''s wrong with you?"


    Qingping looked dazed. For some reason, he felt that Shanfeng Senior Brother was somewhat different now.


    "Wait a moment."


    Lin Yuan smiled faintly and reached out to grasp the void.


    A sword appeared out of nowhere, suspended in Lin Yuan''s palm.


    Lin Yuan gently caressed the sword and said lightly, "You go down first."


    Swoosh!


    The sword soared into the sky and headed towards the foot of Longhu Mountain.


    At the foot of the mountain,


    Azure Daoist Cangqing was engaged in a fierce battle with the Demon Sect Master.


    Suddenly,


    The Demon Sect Master seemed to sense something, his expression changed dramatically, and he swiftly retreated.


    A ancient sword descended from the sky, its tip nted in the Demon Sect Master''s original position.


    The sword was only three feet long, but it exuded an immense and vast aura, covering the sky and sun, as if it were the towering Longhu Mountain itself.


    Faintly visible on the scabbard were the words ''True Martial.''


    "True Martial Sword?"


    The Demon Sect Master''s face became serious. He looked up at the direction from which the sword came.


    It was the top of Longhu Mountain.


    At this moment,


    On the top of Longhu Mountain,


    Lin Yuan just took a deep breath and took a step forward.


    This step reached a hundred zhang, directly stepping out of Longhu Mountain.


    The clouds rolled at the top of Longhu Mountain, surging towards Lin Yuan''s feet.


    Lin Yuan walked on the clouds, stepping towards the foot of the mountain.


    Qingping stared nkly at the strange scene before him. It seemed as if he remembered something. His eyes turned red, and he muttered softly, "Senior Uncle Changqing, wake up and see, Senior Brother Shanfeng has stepped into the realm of a Celestial Master."

    Chapter 40


    Review the novel on novelupdate: /series/creating-heavenlyws/


    When we reach 5 reviews, I will upload a bonus chapter!!


    ...


    At the peak of Longhu Mountain, the surging sea of clouds billowed. A Daoist figure, dressed in Daoist robes and wearing a lotus crown, descended slowly.


    Using the heavens and earth as ''stages'', and the sea of clouds as ''stairs''. This scene, whether viewed from the perspective of the righteous or the demonic side, caused everyone to tremble in awe, treating the figure as if it were a deity.


    "The Celestial Master, the Celestial Master of our Tian Shi Sect!"


    An elderly disciple of the Tian Shi Sect, witnessing this, was moved to tears, his lips trembling. Who else possessed such extraordinary abilities? Stepping on the sea of clouds, descending from the sky?


    Even the formidable figures in this world, surpassing the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, those with the unique ability to transcend the Celestial Phenomenon Realm by arge margin, couldn''t achieve such a feat.


    Only a Celestial Master who had mastered either the Infinite Yin or the Infinite Yang could have such means.


    "Celestial Master!"


    "Celestial Master!"


    "The 183rd generation disciples of the Tian Shi Sect pay respects to the Celestial Master!"


    Having witnessed this miraculous scene, numerous disciples of the Tian Shi Sect knelt down, continuously kowtowing. Disciples from other righteous sects also knelt, recognizing the special significance of a Celestial Master emerging from the Tian Shi Sect. It was customary for the heads of major sects to personally pay their respects.


    "Celestial Master."


    Master Pingyang''s gaze was perplexed, different from other disciples and even the representatives of righteous sects. He, being an insider, knew about the recent emergence of a disciple recognized by the True Martial Sword.


    However, it had only been a short time, not even a decade. Even if there was potential to be a Celestial Master, it would still take four or five decades.


    Now, to be a Celestial Master so soon?


    "Celestial Master."


    Tian Shi Sect''s leader, Azure Daoist Cangqing, looked up towards the sky, gazing at the figure walking on the sea of clouds. As the distance closed, he could clearly see the face of this figure, and it turned out to be Zhang Shanfeng, whom he had once given up on.


    "Could it be that I was wrong? Is it possible to reach the level of a Celestial Master by walking the path of both Infinite Yin and Infinite Yang, entering the realm of the Celestial Master?"


    Azure Daoist Cangqing''s thoughts were chaotic. It took several breaths before he calmed down.


    It wasn''t surprising that he reacted this way. Others just saw another Celestial Master emerging from the Tian Shi Sect. They couldn''t fathom which path this Celestial Master had walked  a path thatbined both Infinite Yin and Infinite Yang, an unprecedented and unique route.


    If Lin Yuan had not be a Celestial Master, it would have been eptable.


    But if he indeed achieved the position of a Celestial Master by mastering both Infinite Yin and Infinite Yang, he would be the strongest Celestial Master in the 6,800-year history of the Tian Shi Sect, surpassing even the founder of the Tian Shi Sect.


    While it was widely acknowledged thatprehending the profound truths of the heavens and the earth would elevate one to a divine level, only a few could truly understand these truths. The same held for the paths of Infinite Yin and Infinite Yang  conflicting forces that, when recklesslybined, could lead to spontaneousbustion.


    Yet now, Azure Daoist Cangqing''s face disyed disbelief,plexity, a bitter smile, excitement, and even a sense of relief.


    He had almost... almost destroyed Lin Yuan and the entire Tian Shi Sect. If Lin Yuan hadn''t insisted on his own beliefs, steadfastly choosing to walk the paths of both Infinite Yin and Infinite Yang instead of following the expected path by selecting either Yin or Yang, he would have be a rtively ordinary Celestial Master. He might have achieved that status only in his fifties or sixties, just like the past Celestial Masters, by which time the entire Tian Shi Sect would have been crushed by the demonic forces.


    Azure Daoist Cangqing took a deep breath.


    Regardless of everything, the Tian Shi Sect had produced another Celestial Master in its 500-year history.


    And there was a high possibility that he was the strongest Celestial Master throughout the ages.


    As for the consequences?


    Did Azure Daoist Cangqing turn a blind eye? Even if he were asked to repent with his life, Azure Daoist Cangqing wouldn''t hesitate. To see a Celestial Master of the Tian Shi Sect before his death was already worthwhile.


    "Celestial Master?"


    "Darn it, why is a Celestial Master emerging at this moment?"


    The Lord of the Demon Sect felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. In recent decades, while umting strength, he had been secretly probing the Tian Shi Sect. It wasn''t until he confirmed that the Tian Shi Sect had not produced a Celestial Master in this generation that he dared to gather demonic forces, preparing for a decisive battle.


    Only when they surrounded the mountain did the Lord of the Demon Sectfinally confirm that the Tian Shi Sect had no Celestial Master presiding over it.


    Otherwise, with the invincible power of a Celestial Master, how could they have encircled Longhu Mountain?


    However, the Lord of the Demon Sectnever expected that, at thest moment, a Celestial Master would emerge from the Tian Shi Sect.


    With the Lord of the Demon Sect''s keen eyesight, he could naturally see that this Celestial Master had just broken through. Otherwise, even Azure Daoist Cangqing wouldn''t have shown such a surprised and shocked expression.


    The sea of clouds sank.


    Lin Yuannded on the ground, his eyes calm as he gazed at the Lord of the Demon Sect.


    Swoosh! The True Martial Sword, inserted into the ground, soared once again. It spun around Lin Yuan before finally hovering at his side.


    "Celestial Master."


    A tremor ran through the Lord of the Demon Sect''s heart.


    "Go."


    Without hesitation, the Lord of the Demon Sectimmediately retreated. Although he still had many trump cards, including the strongest ones brought from the ancient demonic heritage.


    If he had used these trump cards earlier, Azure Daoist Cangqing would have died long ago, and there wouldn''t have been such a prolonged confrontation.


    However, the Lord of the Demon Sectknew very well that, in front of a true Celestial Master, these trump cards were nothing more than a struggle for survival. At best, it would change from being killed with one palm to being killed with two or three palms. It might extend his life by a few breaths, but the oue wouldn''t change.


    Therefore, the Lord of the Demon Sectnaturally knew how to choose.


    In fact, when the True Martial Sword appeared, the Lord of the Demon Sectvaguely guessed its connection with the Celestial Master. However, the reluctance in his heart made him decide to withdraw only after seeing Lin Yuan and confirming that he was indeed the Celestial Master.


    Rumbling.


    Suddenly, the Lord of the Demon Sect''s figure exploded, transforming into six demonic shadows, fleeing in all directions.


    This was a demonic technique for self-preservation. With the Lord of the Demon Sect''s strength, even if he suddenly executed this technique, it wasn''t certain that the Celestial Master could catch up.


    Moreover, Lin Yuan had just broken through and had a limited mastery of the power at the Celestial Master level.


    "Trying to escape?"


    Lin Yuan smiled gently.


    "Rise."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts moved slightly. A massive circr area, centered around him, formed within a hundred to a thousand meters. The area was filled with the power of Infinite Yin and Infinite Yang, transforming into ck and white, shaping into Yin-fish and Yang-fish, constantly merging, converting, and colliding.


    Boom!!!


    Within the range, the six demonic shadows silently shattered.


    Only one remained, with a terrified expression  the Lord of the Demon Sect.


    "No!"


    "What kind of method is this?"


    "You are not the Celestial Master!!!"


    The Lord of the Demon Sectstruggled desperately. Dark mes vaguely ignited on his forehead as he tried to resist something. However, he turned to dust in the waves formed by the ck-and-white forces.


    For decades, the Lord of the Demon Sect, who had stirred countless storms in the world, leading the demonic forces to besiege Longhu Mountain.


    Dead.


    The scene fell into silence.


    The strong figures from the Tian Shi Sect felt dizzy, as if they were dreaming.


    Although they had spected that the Celestial Master would sweep through the Demon Sect, witnessing this scene still stirred various emotions within them.


    The Lord of the Demon Sect, who had exerted immense pressure on them, seemed like an ant on the roadside, easily crushed by a casual step in front of the Celestial Master.


    In contrast to the myriad thoughts on the righteous side, the demonic side was simpler.


    Fear, dread, panic, and trembling emotions overwhelmed each demonic leader''s heart.


    "Run!"


    "The Tian Shi Sect has produced another Celestial Master. What are you still standing there for?"


    "The Sect Master is dead. Run, or you''ll die too."


    The nine Vice Sect Masters and many Guardian Elders, all in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, panicked and distanced themselves from Longhu Mountain.


    "y."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts moved again.


    The Taiji Yin-Yang diagram suddenly expanded, then the True Martial Sword was drawn out, and Lin Yuan made a light sh.


    Crackling.


    When the sword light first flew out, it was only three feet in size, but it grewrger and heavier, bing extremely sharp.


    With just one sh, seven out of the nine Vice Sect Masters were cut into two, and the remaining demonic followers suffered casualties in the hundreds.


    Lin Yuan shed again.


    Thousands of demonic followersy dead, their bodies strewn across the ground, staining the earth with fresh blood.


    ...

 Chapter 41

    Chapter 41


    "Almost there."


    Lin Yuan sheathed the True Martial Sword. Under the few strikes of the sword, the thousands of demons surrounding Longhu Mountain were not just mostly eliminated; they were almost entirely wiped out.


    Lin Yuan turned and walked towards the position of the Tian Shi Sect members.


    "Celestial Master."


    Pingyang Daoist and Azure Daoist Cangqing trembled, tears streaming down their faces.


    This was the Celestial Master, the Tian Shi, emerging once again from the Tian Shi Sect after five hundred years.


    "Pay respects to the Celestial Master."


    "Pay respects to the Celestial Master."


    Other members of the righteous sects also bowed in unison. At this moment, they were trembling with awe, yet a doubt arose in their hearts.


    Is the Celestial Master of the Tian Shi Sect truly this powerful? Can they kill Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts as easily as chickens?


    The scenes of Lin Yuan''s actions just now were witnessed by them all. Moreover, various records of the past generations of Celestial Masters were avable in major sects. While the Celestial Master did indeed surpass the Celestial Phenomenon Realm in terms of strength, were their abilities and methods truly so terrifying?


    "Please rise."


    Lin Yuan waved his hand.


    "Yes."


    Everyone stood up, feeling a slight relief. It seemed like this generation''s Celestial Master had a good temperament.


    However, as they thought about the fate of the thousands of demons just now and the scene of countless corpses nearby, their previous thoughts were instantly cast aside.


    Not a good temperament at all.


    "Disciple... I have sinned."


    Azure Daoist Cangqing remained kneeling.


    "It''s okay."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. Azure Daoist Cangqing had indeed given up on him, but at that time, Lin Yuan had chosen the difficult path of simultaneously cultivating both the Yin and Yang paths, which was truly remarkable. If it were someone else, it might be understandable if they perished.


    However, Lin Yuan was recognized by the True MartialSword and belonged to the Tian Shi Sect as a seed of the Celestial Master. Such a disciple had significant importance for the Tian Shi Sect. It was understandable for Azure Daoist Cangqing to feel regret when his outstanding disciple seemed to deviate from the right path.


    It was like the scientists of the Cosmic Human Alliance, who were dedicated to studying warships and mechas, suddenly concentrating on literature and theology. Outsiders might find it infuriating, especially since they were the teachers who trained these great scientists.


    Subsequently, Lin Yuan chatted briefly with the strong figures of other righteous sects. Then, he returned to Longhu Mountain with the members of the Tian Shi Sect.


    The powerful figures of the righteous sects, showing tact, took their leave.


    "For five hundred years, the Tian Shi Sect has finally produced another Celestial Master."


    "I almost thought the records in the ancient texts were wrong. There''s no such thing as a Celestial Master or not, and surpassing the Celestial Phenomenon Realm is just a fantasy."


    "Oh, to witness the magnificence of the Celestial Master in this lifetime is truly amazing."


    "By the way, what''s the name of that Celestial Master?"


    "Zhang Shanfeng. I heard the Master of the Tian Shi Sect mention this name."


    "Zhang Shanfeng, Celestial Master Zhang."


    The powerful figures of various righteous sects chatted with each other. It was foreseeable that within a month, news of the birth of a new Celestial Master in the Tian Shi Sect would spread throughout the world.


    On the mountainside of Longhu Mountain, Lin Yuan walked step by step along the mountain path.


    Behind him were Azure Daoist Cangqing, Pingyang Daoist, and other disciples of the Tian Shi Sect.


    "Celestial Master."


    Pingyang Daoist hesitated to speak.


    Lin Yuan had told him before that he intended to cultivate both the Yin and Yang paths and merge them to surpass the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. At that time, Pingyang Daoist thought Lin Yuan was mad. Even walking both paths was extremely challenging, let alone merging them.


    However, it was clear now that Lin Yuan had seeded.


    Outsiders could see that the strength Lin Yuan disyed was seemingly different from that of previous Celestial Masters.


    Pingyang Daoist, a Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert of the Tian Shi Sect, naturally had deep feelings about this. Hence, he couldn''t help but feel puzzled.


    "I know what you want to ask."


    Lin Yuan stopped and looked down at the scenery below.


    "I have indeed merged Yin and Yang."


    "After merging Infinite Yin and Infinite Yang, I call itTaiji."


    Lin Yuan contemted for a moment and said slowly. At the same time, the Taiji pattern formed by the intertwining of Yin and Yang fish appeared on Lin Yuan''s palm.


    The extreme of Yin is Yang. The extreme of Yang is Yin. Yin and Yang together are called Taiji.


    "Taiji, Taiji."


    Pingyang Daoist felt inexplicably shocked. This was a realm that even the thirty-sixth generation Celestial Master of the Tian Shi Sect had not reached. Even the strongest first-generation Celestial Master would pale inparison on the path of Taiji.


    "The path of Taiji is not to be touched by those without great determination, great opportunities, or great insight."


    "I will imprint this path on my Celestial Master''s sword."


    "In the future, when I ce this sword in the Sword Tomb, if any disciples in the future resonate with the path of Taiji, the sword will fly out on its own."


    Lin Yuan continued to speak.


    The path of Taiji was something heprehended in this world, and he would give it back to the world. The reason Lin Yuan didn''t directly record theplete path of Taiji in the scriptures was that cultivating both Yin and Yang was extremely dangerous. Ordinary people who attempted it would meet their demise.


    One touch, one death.


    If theplete path of Taiji was shown to everyone, it was feared that the Tian Shi Sect would voluntarily perish in a few years.


    In a Taoist temple on Longhu Mountain:


    Lin Yuan stood in front of a bed.


    Behind him, Azure Daoist Cangqing, Pingyang Daoist, and others stood respectfully.


    Lin Yuan looked at the bed where the unconscious Changqing Daoisty.


    Changqing Daoist had battled with a powerful figure from the demonic path, and in the end, he was overwhelmed by demonic energy, which prated deep into his lungs. As a result, his consciousness fell into aa, unable to wake up.


    This kind of injury was challenging to treat. Even Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts could do nothing about it. The patient could only rely on themselves, and if one day the demonic energy inside their lungs dissipated to a certain extent, they might wake up on their own.


    Of course, for Lin Yuan at this moment, such an injury was nothing.


    Using the power of Taiji to harmonize Yin and Yang, within a few breaths, Lin Yuanpletely expelled the demonic energy from Changqing Daoist''s body.


    Half an hourter:


    Changqing Daoist slowly woke up.


    "Mountain... Shanfeng."


    Changqing Daoist was excited when he first saw Lin Yuan.


    "I have found the trace of the ''Yin Serpent'' helmsman who attacked Zhangjia Vige back then. However, when I traced it, I fell into an ambush."


    "The ''Yin Serpent'' helmsman was well-prepared. I did my best and managed to severely injure the ''Yin Serpent'' helmsman, but in the end, I was attacked by others."


    Changqing Daoist''s gaze became distant as he spoke.


    Afterward, he knew nothing about what happened.


    "It''s okay."


    "I will personally take revenge for Zhangjia Vige."


    Lin Yuan smiled slightly.


    "Shanfeng, the people in those demonic sects are extremely cunning. You must not take risks yourself."


    Changqing Daoist''s tone became serious at these words.


    He was a living example. He thought he was the hunter, but he fell into the trap of the ''Yin Serpent'' helmsman.


    "You..."


    Changqing Daoist was about to continue ''advising'' Lin Yuan.


    Pingyang Daoist, who was on the side, couldn''t bear it.


    "Changqing, what are you saying?"


    "In front of you is Celestial Master Zhang."


    "Be mindful of your tone when speaking."


    Pingyang Daoist hinted at Changqing Daoist with a nce.


    "Ah?"


    "Celestial Master Zhang?"


    "Shanfeng has be Celestial Master Zhang?"


    Changqing Daoist''s face looked confused until he saw the respectful true men standing behind Lin Yuan. His mouth slowly opened wide.


    I took a nap, and how did Shanfeng be a Celestial Master?


    ...

 Chapter 42

    Chapter 42


    Bonus Chapter :D


    ...


    In Qingping''s low voice exnation, and Azure Daoist Cangqing nodded in agreement,


    Changqing Daoist finally believed that Lin Yuan had be the Celestial Master of the Tian Shi Sect.


    To be precise, the Celestial Master of the thirty-seventh generation of the Tian Shi Sect.


    The thirty-sixth generation Celestial Master was something that happened five hundred years ago.


    "Things are unpredictable."


    Changqing Daoist had a relieved expression, with a hint ofplexity.


    Before he fell into aa, the Tian Shi Sect was coborating with other righteous forces, desperately suppressing the expansion of the demonic forces like the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.


    The situation on both sides was not bnced, and the Tian Shi Sect did not have any advantage.


    But now, Lin Yuan, whom he had seen growing up, became the Celestial Master, directly piercing through the Ten Thousand Demon Sect. The blood of those belonging to the demonic path at the foot of the Longhu Mountain was still warm.


    Such a reversed situation made Changqing Daoist feel quite emotional.


    Next, Lin Yuan checked Changqing Daoist''s body again, ensuring that there was no residual demonic energy.


    Then he got up to bid farewell.


    Changqing Daoist walked to the door of the Daoist temple, looked at Lin Yuan''s departing figure, and moved his mouth, "Brother Zhang, your son, your son has be the invincible Celestial Master of the world."


    True Martial Arts Treasure.


    Lin Yuan returned here once again.


    This ce was originally where the Celestial Masters of the Tian Shi Sect closed themselves for cultivation.


    Only when there was no Celestial Master, it would be a ce for the Celestial Master seed or Celestial Phenomenon Realm seed toprehend.


    "Celestial Master."


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    Carefully feeling his own strength.


    After bing the Celestial Master, Lin Yuan rushed to deal with the Ten Thousand Demon Sect first.


    Then he went to treat Changqing Daoist. Only now did he have the time to feel the power of the Celestial Master.


    First and foremost was life expectancy. Lin Yuan, with the foundation of Yin and Yang, became the Celestial Master, and vaguely felt that his life expectancy skyrocketed to five hundred years.


    It''s important to note that the life expectancy of the previous generations of Celestial Masters was only around two hundred years.


    Lin Yuan''s life expectancy was more than twice that of the previous generations of Celestial Masters.


    Bncing both Yin and Yang does make him much stronger than Celestial Masters who only practice either Yin or Yang, not only in terms of strength but also in life expectancy.


    This is not only reflected inbat power but also in life expectancy.


    "Five hundred years!"


    Lin Yuan was shaken.


    It''s important to know that these five hundred years are the basic life expectancy.


    In other words, without any external assistance, Lin Yuan can live for five hundred years.


    If he returns to the Human Alliance andbines various cutting-edge biological technologies, Lin Yuan estimates that he can live for over two thousand years.


    The essence of the limit of life expectancyes from the failure of various organs. In the Human Alliance, it is entirely possible to cultivate new organs to rece the decaying old organs.


    This is also the reason why advanced evolutionists can easily live for four or five hundred years.


    Of course, recing organs can only prolong life, and with the passage of time, the soul consciousness of living beings will gradually weaken. By then, even if you rece many organs, it will be of no use.


    However, the soul consciousness depends on the strength of the realm. The stronger the living being, the stronger its consciousness.


    "My current strength, in terms of the ssification of the Human Alliance, is roughly equivalent to the Second Rank, Ninth Stage."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    In this world''s cultivation system, the Celestial Phenomenon Realm is roughly equivalent to the Second Rank Evolutionist in the Human Alliance.


    Specifically, it belongs to the Second Stage, from the first to the second stage.


    As for the Celestial Master, it is between the Second Stage, Fourth Stage, and Sixth Stage.


    Lin Yuan, who entered the Celestial Master with the foundation of Yin and Yang, actually surpassed the previous generations of Celestial Masters in strength, so he is at the Second Rank, Ninth Stage.


    Don''t underestimate the difference of just a few stages; the Human Alliance has a very standard ssification of ranks, and even a one-stage difference results in nearly double the energy amplitude.


    "There are still sixty-one years of residence time."


    Lin Yuan nced at the virtual font below.


    [Name: Zhang Shanfeng (Lin Yuan)]


    [Identity: Guardian of the Portal to the Myriad Realms]


    [Bonded Talent: Unrivaled Insight]


    [Current Status: Consciousness Descent]


    [Remaining Residence Time: Sixty years and eleven months]


    This time, Lin Yuan''s residence time reached eighty years.


    Excluding the initial ten years and the over nine years as a Celestial Master seed,


    A total of neen years have passed.


    "It''s still early."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    Compared to the first time, where the residence time was only twenty years, the residence time of this journey is obviously much more rxed.


    "Perhaps, with the improvement of my strength, the residence time for each journey will be extended?"


    Lin Yuan spected in his mind.


    After feeling himself, Lin Yuan''s thoughts moved slightly.


    The True Martial Sword hovered and stopped in front of Lin Yuan.


    "Let''s go back."


    Lin Yuan reached out and touched the hilt, saying softly.


    After entering the Celestial Master level, the power of Yin and Yang in the True Martial Sword for Lin Yuan was basically not much help.


    So Lin Yuan decided to directly let it return to the sword mound and continue sleeping.


    "Go."


    Lin Yuan patted the hilt, and the True Martial Sword made a ''swoosh'' sound, turning into a sword light and returning to the sword mound.


    Not long after sending away the True Martial Sword,


    Azure Daoist Cangqing respectfully walked in.


    "Celestial Master."


    Azure Daoist Cangqing asked, "I wonder how the Celestial Master Sword should be crafted, and if there are any requirements?"


    The Celestial Masters of the Tian Shi Sect in each generation would have their own Celestial Master Sword.


    The Celestial Master Sword is also a symbol of the generations of Celestial Masters. Even if the Celestial Master passes away, the Celestial Master Sword left behind can still represent the Celestial Master.


    Once every twenty years, during the Sword Mound trip of the Tian Shi Sect, asionally the Celestial Master Sword of a certain generation of Celestial Master would fly out.


    Disciples recognized by the Celestial Master Sword would receive the Tian Shi Sect''s full cultivation.


    "The Celestial Master Sword..."


    Lin Yuan fell into a brief contemtion.


    He didn''t have any special requirements for his Celestial Master Sword. As long as it had the normal shape of a sword, it would suffice.


    "Do you need to engrave something on the hilt and the de?"


    Azure Daoist Cangqing reminded.


    Generally speaking, each generation of Celestial Masters would engrave their own name on the Celestial Master Sword.


    The name here could be a character, a pattern, or even a painting. Anyway, the forging skills of the Tian Shi Sect''s swordsmiths were superb, so there was no problem with these.


    "Engrave."


    After thinking for a while, Lin Yuan said, "My name is Shanfeng. In that case, engrave a mountain peak on the Celestial Master Sword."


    "No problem."


    Azure Daoist Cangqing readily agreed.


    This was not a difficult task.


    "Wait a minute."


    Lin Yuan suddenly remembered something.


    The name Zhang Shanfeng was given to him by his parents.


    Initially, it was intended to make him, like a mountain peak, shelter the entire Zhang Family Castle.


    Unfortunately, Lin Yuan''s parents have been dead for almost twenty years now.


    "Add two more mountain peaks."


    Lin Yuan changed his mind, "Engrave three mountain peaks on the Celestial Master Sword."


    "Three mountain peaks?"


    Azure Daoist Cangqing was slightly stunned.


    "Three peaks?"


    Several dayster,


    The swordsmiths of the Tian Shi Sect presented thepleted Celestial Master Sword.


    It was possible to achieve such speed because the Tian Shi Sect would have their swordsmiths forge the core of the Celestial Master Sword in advance for each generation.


    As long as a Celestial Master was born, aplete Celestial Master Sword could be forged in the shortest time.


    "Indeed, a good sword."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly, and his gaze swept over the ''three mountain peaks'' on the de.


    Of course, when Lin Yuan referred to it as a good sword, it was inparison to ordinary swords.


    The most special feature of the Celestial Master Sword through the generations was that it was nurtured by the Celestial Master for a long time, resulting in a certain degree of spirituality.


    Even inside the Celestial Master Sword, there remained the power left by the Celestial Master. Disciples inter generations had the opportunity to draw out this power to use against enemies.


    During the battle between Azure Daoist Cangqing and the Ten Thousand Demon Sect Master, he used the power left by the Celestial Master within the Celestial Master Sword.


    "It''s almost time to leave the mountain."


    Lin Yuan picked up his own Celestial Master Sword, left the True Martial Arts Treasury, and descended from Longhu Mountain.


    Twenty years ago, the Zhang Family Castle was destroyed, Changqing Daoist was infused with demonic energy a few years ago, and not long ago, the Ten Thousand Demon Sect besieged Longhu Mountain.


    New hatred and old grudges could not be quelled by Lin Yuan killing the Master of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect and thousands of demonic followers.

 Chapter 43

    Chapter 43


    The Demon Lords under the heavens, how many are there?


    If someone were to ask this question, they would surely be mocked.


    Because the Demon Lords under the heavens are simply too numerous to count.


    As the leader of the demonic forces, the Demon Lord under themand of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, even if one were to include those of the eighth and ninth ranks, they wouldn''t number more than ten thousand.


    Yet, throughout the world, there are far more demonic forces causing troubleexceeding hundreds of thousands and even millions.


    This is because bing a Demon Lord is too easy.


    And the benefits are enormous.


    Ordinary people who want to reach the ninth rank and be cultivators need to endure the hardships of practicing in winter and summer, investing countless energy and time, and still might not seed.


    But if you cultivate a demonic art and consume the blood essence of dozens of ordinary people, you can easily step into the ninth rank.


    Although it''s easy to enter the path of demonic cultivation, achieving mastery, and even reaching the upper ranks beyond the third rank, is much more challenging than orthodox cultivation methods.


    However, many individuals can''t even reach the third rank without relying on demonic cultivation, let alone the upper ranks.


    Moreover, Demon Lords act wantonly without the need to follow various rules; killing is as simple as eating and drinking.


    This makes them even more admired by many people.


    Especially in recent decades, with the rise of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, it has diverted a lot of energy from the righteous path.


    This has allowed Demon Lords to proliferate everywhere.


    In the past, there were often righteous powerhousesing down from the mountains to eliminate demons and uphold justice.


    But now, things have changed. Those righteous powerhouses are busy fighting against the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.


    This has allowed the Demon Lords in various regions to thrive without restraints, and their methods have be even more brutal.


    However, now, the demonic forces all over the world are facing their doomsday.


    Because the Celestial Master Zhang on Mount Longhu has descended to eradicate the demons.


    After the battle on Mount Longhu, the main headquarters of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.


    Following the battle on Mount Longhu, the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect died, and eight out of nine vice sect masters perished.


    The only surviving vice sect master managed to escape because he had a task at the time, and the distance from Mount Longhu was a bit far.


    Even so, this vice sect master was terrified. Although he was desperately trying to escape at the time, a nce back revealed the scene of Mount Longhu turning into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Such a terrifying sight almost shattered the heart of this Demon Lord.


    "Vice Sect Master, what should we do now?"


    "The Sect Master is dead, and the other vice sect masters are dead too."


    "Should we stay here?"


    A trembling voice from a staying demon lord asked anxiously.


    "Don''t leave here. Where else can we escape to?"


    "This is the main headquarters with numerous mechanisms. Hiding here is the safest option."


    The vice sect master calmed himself and said.


    The Ten Thousand Demon Sect had already considered this scenario during its rise. In case of a failure in a decisive battle against the righteous path, the main headquarters would serve as the final retreat.


    Dozens of mechanism masters were invited to set up numerous mechanisms within the main headquarters. Even a group of Celestial Phenomenon Realm cultivators wouldn''t dare to invade. A slight mistake would lead to severe injuries from the mechanisms.


    Because of this, the vice sect master eventually chose to retreat to the main headquarters.


    He also ordered the demon lords who stayed behind to activate all the mechanisms.


    Suddenly.


    At this moment.


    A wailing sound echoed from outside.


    At the same time, a terrifying shaking sound spread almost throughout the entire main headquarters.


    "No!"


    "Who are you?"


    "Why are you killing us?"


    The despairing roars of the demon lords within the main headquarters came, and in the blink of an eye, everything fell into silence.


    A figure in Daoist robes walked in step by step.


    It was Lin Yuan.


    "Celestial Master."


    The vice sect master smiled miserably.


    He had thought that the mechanisms in the main headquarters might not be able to withstand the Celestial Master of Mount Longhu.


    But he didn''t expect it to happen so quickly. The numerous mechanisms that the Ten Thousand Demon Sect once considered a retreat became nothing under the hands of this Celestial Master, not even holding out for half a stick of incense.


    "Celestial Master, if I choose to submit to you, submit to the Tian Shi Sect, can I still live?"


    The vice sect master didn''t give up and asked quietly.


    Regardless, he was also a Celestial Phenomenon Realm cultivator; he should still have some use, right?


    "No need."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    Then he turned around and walked away.


    The vice sect master sitting in the main seat suddenly had a red line appear on his forehead.


    The other demon lord beside him was no exception; his gaze quickly stiffened, and he fell to the ground.


    Great Yu Dynasty.


    Capital.


    A man dressed in blood-colored robes rushed to the outside of the imperial pce, filled with horror.


    "I am named Ouyang Ye, a direct disciple of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect''s Sect Master. I know how to quickly cultivate experts in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. The nine Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect were born through this method."


    Ouyang Ye looked towards the imperial pce in front of him, activated his true qi, and transmitted his voice inside.


    The Great Yu Dynasty is the current dominant dynasty in the world, powerful and currently Ouyang Ye''s only way to survive.


    "I can inform the Great Yu Dynasty of this method. The only request is to protect me and stop that Celestial Master Zhang."


    Ouyang Ye said this with almost a pleading expression.


    He believed that the Great Yu Dynasty couldn''t refuse the method of cultivating Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts. Even if the cost was great, for a dynasty, it would be an invaluable treasure.


    After a long time.


    The pce gates were pushed open.


    A stooped old man walked out.


    This old man had a profound aura, clearly also a Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert.


    "You can leave."


    "Celestial Master Zhang is invincible. We can''t help with the people he wants to kill or the demons he wants to eliminate."


    The old man shook his head slightly.


    Then, as if sensing something, he immediately turned around and walked out of the gate.


    In the next moment, the pce gates closed tightly.


    "Can''t help?"


    "You don''t even want the method to cultivate Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts?"


    Ouyang Ye fell silent.


    "Could it be that there is truly no one in the world who can save me?"


    Ouyang Ye felt utterly hopeless.


    Soon after, a sword light shed from behind.


    Ouyang Ye fell directly, losing all signs of life.


    "Quite sensible."


    Lin Yuan looked up at the Great Yu Imperial Pce and then turned and left.


    Extreme North Icefield.


    In front of a pce constructed of ice crystals.


    A figure dressed in ck robes knelt there.


    "Our Primitive Demon Sect and your Northern Lineage joined forces six thousand years ago."


    "I''m willing to disclose many secrets of the Primitive Demon Sect, just to survive."


    This figure in ck robes spoke in a low voice, knowing that the lord of the Northern Lineage in the ice pce could hear.


    Under the heavens, only this lord of the Northern Lineage could slightly restrain that Celestial Master Zhang.


    "Do you want to survive?"


    In the depths of the ice pce, a majestic man with golden eyes sat.


    At this moment, he looked solemn, and his expression was unreadable.


    "I also want to survive."


    The majestic man sighed.


    "Lord of the Northern Lineage, are you just going to watch as my Primitive Demon Sect lineage is once again severed?"


    With no response received, the figure in ck robes raised his head in despair while still kneeling.


    At the same time.


    This figure in ck robes fell to the ground with a thud.


    A voice came from beside him, "Lord of the Northern Lineage?"


    Lin Yuan looked at the pce in front of him with slight surprise.


    From the records of the Celestial Master''s Sect, he also knew about the Northern Lineage, which had a long historyparable to that of the Celestial Master''s Sect.


    However, this lineage has always kept itself away from the central ins'' power, residing in the far north icefield, and is rtively unknown to the world.


    "Celestial Master Zhang, this demon has nothing to do with my Northern Lineage. He came to us on his own."


    Sensing Lin Yuan''s gaze, the majestic man in the depths of the ice pce immediately exined nervously.


    "I know."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    He disappeared without making a sound.


    When Lin Yuan hadpletely left.


    The Lord of the Northern Lineage finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    "The pressure from this generation''s Celestial Master is really too great, seemingly much stronger than the Celestial Masters of past generations?"


    The stern-looking man couldn''t help but think in his heart.


    The Northern Lineage has a much greater understanding of the Celestial Master than other righteous forces. It is precisely because of this that the stern-looking man feels that the pressure caused by Lin Yuan is somewhat unbearable.


    In a desert somewhere, dozens of figures are desperately fleeing.


    "Celestial Master Zhang, we, dozens of brothers, although we call ourselves demonic heads, have nothing to do with the Demon Sect. When Demon Sect besieged Longhu Mountain back then, we brothers were unaware and did not participate."


    The leading man shouted hoarsely, looking at the figure approaching behind him with full of fear.


    "As long as they are demonic heads, they should be killed."


    Lin Yuan raised his right hand, gently pressed it, and all the dozens of people running ahead fell down.


    On a lively street, a fortune-telling Taoist is shouting by the roadside.


    At this time, an ordinary-looking man stepped forward.


    "Calcte for me, how long can I live?"


    The ordinary-looking man''s eyes were bloodshot, apparently in an unusually nervous state recently.


    "Look at your young age."


    The fortune-telling Taoist took just one nce and immediately changed his expression.


    Then, he quickly packed up the abacus table and left without thinking.


    "Sir, sir, are you so afraid of that person, you dare not calcte for him?"


    A child ran alongside him.


    "Do you understand anything?"


    The fortune-telling Taoist scowled.


    "Just now, that person is about to die. If we get too close to him, we might be implicated."


    The fortune-telling Taoist quickly exined.


    "Huh?"


    "Being implicated?"


    The child blinked his eyes. He knew that his old man was one of the most powerful people in the world. How could he be afraid of being implicated?


    "Because that person is a demonic head."


    The fortune-telling Taoist said directly.


    "Demonic head?"


    The child, upon hearing this, immediately shrunk his head.


    Nowadays, who doesn''t know that the cmity of demonic heads hase. The Celestial Master Zhang, who descended from Longhushan, is hunting demonic heads everywhere. As long as they are demonic heads, they can hardly escape death, and no one can stop it.


    "Celestial Master Zhang."


    The fortune-telling Taoist suddenly stopped.


    His heart suddenly trembled.


    Because a young man in Daoist robes wasing towards him, heading towards the position of the ordinary-looking man just now.


    "Celestial Master Zhang is here."


    The fortune-telling Taoist muttered to himself.


    ording to the records ofter generations, Celestial Master Zhang Shanfeng of the 37th generation of Tian Shi Sect descended from the mountain to eliminate demonic heads. Sixty yearster, the demonic path disappeared, and peace was restored throughout the world. No one dared to call themselves demonic heads anymore.

    Chapter 44


    Bonus Chapter :D


    ...


    Time passed slowly.


    In the blink of an eye, sixty years had gone by.


    Deep within the vast western desert, therey an ancient and eerie mysterious relic.


    "This should be it."


    "ording to Celestial Master Zhang''s description, this should be the site of the original Demonic Sect from back then."


    "Quick, go inform Celestial Master Zhang."


    Dozens of martial artists from the martial world explored this ce and were filled with excitement. The robust man in the lead quickly gave orders and stood guard in front of the relic.


    "It''s said that this site will change its location with the shifting earth veins. Every period, it will move to a different ce; otherwise, it wouldn''t have taken so long to find."


    Next to the robust man, a slightly dark-skinned man spoke in a low voice.


    After a short while, a figure wearing Daoist robes appeared at the site, seemingly out of nowhere.


    "Celestial Master Zhang."


    Seeing him, the robust man immediately stepped forward respectfully.


    "Greetings, Celestial Master Zhang."


    The others also saluted.


    When facing this seemingly ordinary Daoist, everyone involuntarily felt immense pressure. This was because Celestial Master Zhang was undoubtedly the most ruthless among all the Celestial Masters in the history of the Celestial Sect.


    In the past, Celestial Masters from the Celestial Sect did go down the mountain to eliminate demonic forces, but it usuallysted for a few years. However, Celestial Master Zhang had been eliminating demons for a full sixty years.


    Up to this day, many once-arrogant demonic leaders had be legends, and the two words "demonic path" were the most dreaded in the world.


    And all of this was because of Celestial Master Zhang.


    With his own power, Celestial Master Zhang had killed so many demonic leaders that no one dared to call themselves a demonic leader anymore.


    Someone had secretly calcted that in the sixty years of his demon hunting, there were probably hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of demonic leaders who died at his hands.


    "This is the ce."


    Lin Yuan carefully examined the relic, confirming that it was the site of the original Demonic Sect from the past.


    As the force that could contend with the first-generation Celestial Master six thousand eight hundred years ago, the original Demonic Sect could be considered the source of all demonic entities in the world.


    If Lin Yuan wanted to truly eliminate all the demonic forces in the world, he would undoubtedly have to deal with this relic.


    However, the site of the original Demonic Sect was not fixed in one location; it constantly changed. Therefore, Lin Yuan, using the name of the Celestial Master, mobilized martial artists from all over the world and finally locked onto the location today.


    "I''m going in."


    "You all should leave as soon as possible."


    Lin Yuan nced at the robust man and the others and spoke.


    "Yes."


    The robust man immediately responded.


    "Celestial Master Zhang, this site is very dangerous; you must be careful."


    The robust man hesitated for a moment but still spoke up.


    He admired Celestial Master Zhang very much. During Lin Yuan''s sixty years of demon hunting, although the world couldn''t be described aspletely peaceful, it was much calmer than before.


    The robust man''s grandfather often told him that sixty years ago, demonic leaders were rampant, often coborating to capture and devour people, practicing demonic techniques.


    "I understand."


    Lin Yuan nodded and then walked straight into the relic.


    Outside the relic, the crowd soon began to discuss.


    "Is that Celestial Master Zhang? He looks quite young."


    "Young? Celestial Master Zhang was twenty years old sixty years ago, and now he''s eighty."


    "Can''t imagine the Celestial Master? I heard that every generation of Celestial Masters can live over two hundred years."


    The people discussed in hushed tones. After all these years, Celestial Master Zhang had already be a "legend." Compared to the Celestial Masters of previous generations, Celestial Master Zhang had hunted demons for the longest time. Therefore, his reputation was more profound, and even the Emperor of Da Yu showed respect when meeting Celestial Master Zhang.


    Over these years, Celestial Master Zhang hadmanded heroes from all over the world, relying on what? Did the heroes listen obediently? It was his absolute strength.


    Although Celestial Master Zhang had always only killed demonic leaders, the definition of a demonic leader depended entirely on Celestial Master Zhang himself.


    Even if you practiced orthodox cultivation techniques and had never harmed anyone, if Celestial Master Zhang deemed you a demonic leader, you were considered one, and he could kill you.


    "Alright."


    "Let''s go."


    "Since Celestial Master Zhang told us to leave, he must have his own considerations."


    "Even though the original Demonic Sect has disappeared, its relic is not to be underestimated. Celestial Master Zhang is fearless, but we are not Celestial Master Zhang."


    The robust man immediately spoke with seriousness.


    Upon hearing this, the others shuddered and quickly followed the robust man, distancing themselves from the area.


    Inside the relic of the original Demonic Sect,


    Lin Yuan strolled leisurely, and an invisible Tai Chi aura extended around him, covering a radius of one hundred meters.


    Within this hundred-meter radius, it was as if observing the details on the palm of one''s hand, every inch clear.


    Sixty years ago, when Lin Yuan attained the position of Celestial Master, he became invincible in the world, surpassing all previous Celestial Masters.


    Now, after sixty years, even Lin Yuan himself found it challenging to determine his current level.


    Throughout these sixty years, while Lin Yuan was engaged in demon hunting, he possessed unparalleled insight. Whether in seclusion or demon hunting, he was constantly gaining enlightenment and practicing.


    Before bing a Celestial Master, Lin Yuan stayed on Mount Longhu not only because his strength was not unmatched, and going down the mountain involved certain risks.


    Another reason was that he hadn''t fullyprehended the True Martial Arts collection on Mount Longhu yet.


    After achieving the position of Celestial Master, even if he didn''t hunt demons, Lin Yuan wouldn''t continue staying on Mount Longhu. He would travel the world toprehend the heavens and the earth.


    Inside the dark and eerie relic,


    Lin Yuan moved forward as if unaffected by the gloomy atmosphere, heading towards the deepest part of the relic.


    Before long,


    Lin Yuan saw a massive altar.


    The altar disyed a ck-red color, and faint traces of blood seemed to linger on its surface.


    "Hehehe."


    Just as Lin Yuan looked at the altar, a deep and majestic voice echoed.


    On the surface of the altar, countless blood energies formed into a blood-colored figure.


    "So many years have passed, and the True Martial lineage has finally produced another Celestial Master."


    The blood-colored figure gazed at Lin Yuan, chuckling lightly.


    "Who are you?"


    Lin Yuan asked.


    "Who am I?"


    "You can call me the Original Demonic Spirit."


    The blood-colored figure''s tone rose, slightly madly saying.


    "Original Demonic Spirit?"


    Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you not from this realm?"


    Ever since obtaining the True Martial Sword, Lin Yuan had spected that it originated from another world.


    Because the power of Yin and Yang within the True Martial Sword, even Lin Yuan himself couldn''t achieve it now, let alone the Celestial Masters of previous generations.


    The Celestial Master was the ceiling of this world. If the Celestial Master couldn''t achieve it, it meant that no creature in this world could.


    Now that Lin Yuan saw the Original Demonic Spirit in front of him, he became more certain of his guess.


    The way the Original Demonic Spirit manifested just now had already surpassed the mundane. Combined with its tone, it was likely to have existed six thousand eight hundred years ago.


    "Hahaha."


    "This generation of Celestial Master does have some insight to recognize the origin of this Demonic Spirit."


    The blood-colored figure nced at Lin Yuan, "But since you''vee in, the person chosen by this Demonic Spirit has probably died at your hands."


    A hundred years ago, the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect identally entered the relic. Guided by the Original Demonic Spirit, he obtained part of the inheritance of the original Demonic Sect, causing a bloodbath in the world.


    This was not an isted case. Every few hundred years for the past six thousand eight hundred years, scenes of chaos in the demonic path would ur, most of which originated from the hands of the Original Demonic Spirit.


    "Speak. What do you want bying here to find this Demonic Spirit?"


    The blood-colored figure stood in the center of the altar, asking with interest.


    It had been lonely for too long. Thest time it saw a living person was a hundred years ago.


    "I n to attempt to destroy you."


    Lin Yuan did not conceal his intentions.


    Hemanded heroes from all over the world to find the relic of the original Demonic Sect in order topletely end this source of all demonic entities.


    Without the relic of the original Demonic Sect, even though demonic leaders might appear in the next few hundred or thousand years, they would not pose a significant threat.


    "Hahaha."


    "Want to destroy me?"


    "How arrogant!"


    "Before you, more than twenty Celestial Masters have found this ce."


    "Among them, the first Celestial Master of this world, who received the inheritance of the True Martial Arts, also came. Why do you think I''m still here?"


    The blood-colored figure chuckled, suddenly bursting intoughter.


    "Yin."


    "Yang."


    Lin Yuan didn''t continue speaking but, with a slight thought, he drew upon the power of Yin and Yang between heaven and earth, pressing down towards the altar.


    Boom!


    The ck and white colors transformed into a gigantic Yin-Yang millstone, intending to crush the altar, causing the entire relic to tremble faintly.


    Under the pressure of the Yin-Yang millstone, the blood-colored figure retreated a few steps, and the vivid red hue of its figure dimmed slightly.


    "At the same time controlling the power of Yin and Yang, relying solely on these means, you want to surpass all the Celestial Masters of the True Martial lineage in this world, including the first Celestial Master who received the True Martial Arts inheritance."


    "However, with just these, you still can''t destroy me."


    The blood-colored figure''s tone returned to calmness, and blood energies surged around the altar again, continuously replenishing its consumption.


    "Condense."


    Lin Yuan manipted the Yin and Yang within his body, extending his right hand and gently pressing down.


    Sixty years of practicing Dao and gaining insights, Lin Yuan''sprehension of Yin and Yang far exceeded that of sixty years ago. At this moment, the Yin and Yang forces he mobilized were vast and mighty.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The Yin-Yang millstone surged tenfold, with Yin and Yang forces interchanging, surging endlessly like a vast ocean.


    "It''s useless. I am indestructible."


    The Original Demonic Spirit''s expression changed slightly, still maintaining a defiant attitude.


    But in just a few breaths of time.


    "Stop, stop, stop."


    "Let''s talk things over."


    "No need to resort to violence."

    ...


    Inside the original demonic sect ruins.


    The vast and boundless Yin and Yang energy transformed into a vast ocean.


    Facing the plea for mercy from the original demonic spirit, Lin Yuan remained unmoved.


    Swish! A strand of Yin-Yang energy turned into a sharp sword, piercing through the bloody body of the original demonic spirit.


    In an instant, the bloody figure boiled, but quickly recovered.


    However, this scene made Lin Yuan slightly stunned.


    Because


    [Your unparalleled insight allows you toprehend the essence of the original demonic spirit and grasp the demonic technique ''Great Wilderness Reversion Art''.]


    In an instant, every detail about the ''Great Wilderness Reversion Art'' flooded into his mind.


    "This technique..."


    Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes.


    Although he had not practiced it, Lin Yuan was certain that this technique was of Celestial Master-level, and even the Tian Shi Sect might not possess many techniques of this level.


    "Original demonic spirit."


    Lin Yuan looked down at the bloodied figure on the altar.


    What is the original demonic spirit? A guardian?


    Obviously not.


    The original demonic spirit cannot leave the altar, nor can it leave the ruins of the original demonic sect.


    Clearly, it has nothing to do with being a guardian.


    Lin Yuan believed that the original demonic spirit was more like a inheritor.


    Mastering the inheritance of the ancient demonic sect, preventing the lineage frompletely dying out.


    Sixty years ago, the Lord of the Ten Thousand Demons received part of the inheritance from the original demonic spirit, establishing the Ten Thousand Demons Sect and causing chaos in the world.


    Since it was an inheritor, it must have mastered many inheritances of the original demonic sect.


    When the original demonic spirit was pierced by the Yin-Yang energy just now, it instinctively used the ''Great Wilderness Reversion Art'' to recover.


    The results, seen by Lin Yuan, were directlyprehended through his unparalleled insight.


    Over the past sixty years, while chasing down demonic leaders around the world, Lin Yuan had indeed gained insights into many demonic techniques.


    However, those demonic techniques were of lower levels, and Lin Yuan was not particrly interested in them.


    But the demonic techniques possessed by the original demonic spirit right in front of him were no less significant than the entire demonic inheritance of the Tian Shi Sect.


    "Take it slowly."


    Lin Yuan made a decision in his heart.


    Originally, he nned to finish the battle quickly and resolve the original demonic spirit as soon as possible.


    But now, as the original demonic spirit had something valuable, Lin Yuan would naturally not let it go so easily.


    Next,


    Lin Yuan deliberately held back, forcing the original demonic spirit to use various inherited techniques.


    As a result


    [Your unparalleled insight allows you toprehend the essence of the original demonic spirit and grasp demonic techniques.]


    [Your unparalleled insight allows you toprehend the essence of the original demonic spirit and grasp demonic techniques.]


    [Your unparalleled insight allows you toprehend the essence of the original demonic spirit and grasp demonic techniques.]


    Several monthster,


    The original demonic spirit was basically squeezed dry by Lin Yuan.


    All the demonic sect inheritances it possessed were now in Lin Yuan''s hands.


    "Are you going to kill me or not, just get it over with."


    On the altar, the original demonic spirit hadpletely given up.


    Although he was not a living being, he also had wisdom. He couldn''t figure out why Lin Yuan, who clearly had enough strength to kill him, had been ying with him for several months.


    Could it be that he found the original demonic spirit interesting?


    It''s not fun to bully people like this.


    The original demonic spirit probably never dreamed that all the trump cards he possessed had been stolen by Lin Yuan.


    "Alright."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    When it was confirmed that nothing more could be squeezed from the original demonic spirit, he directly urged the Yin-Yang Great Millstone topletely destroy it.


    Stepping out of the original demonic sect ruins, Lin Yuan turned back and took another look.


    This time, in the original demonic sect''s expedition, Lin Yuan could be described as killing two birds with one stone.


    Not only did he truly annihte the original demonic sect, achieving what generations of Celestial Masters could not, but he also opportunistically gained all the inheritances and secrets of the original demonic sect.


    Although Lin Yuan was a Celestial Master of the Tian Shi Sect, he harbored no aversion to the demonic path''s secret arts and inheritances.


    As long as it could make him stronger, whether it be the righteous path or the demonic path, there was no difference.


    The Universal Human Alliance possessed a massive number of evolutionary paths, among which were many terrifying methods, some even feeding on blood and souls.


    However, none of these methods were restricted by the three goddesses. The essence of power had no right or wrong; only those who wielded the power could determine such distinctions.


    "Demonic path."


    Lin Yuan''s expression was thoughtful.


    In the past few months, he had essentiallyprehended and absorbed many inheritances of the original demonic sect.


    His unrivaled insight depended on Lin Yuan''s strength.


    Before achieving the position of Celestial Master, Lin Yuan had spent several years barelyprehending the insights within the True Martial Scripture.


    After bing a Celestial Master, continuing his arduous cultivation for sixty years, facing the profound depths of the original demonic sect''s inheritance, not inferior to the True Martial Scripture, Lin Yuan had only taken a few months.


    "The way of heaven diminishes excess and replenishes deficiency." "The way of demons diminishes deficiency and replenishes excess."


    Numerous demonic inheritances surged in Lin Yuan''s mind.


    On Longhu Mountain, Lin Yuan stood in front of the True Martial Hall.


    He looked up at the statue of the True Martial Emperor.


    "Celestial Master."


    Qingping immediately approached.


    Sixty years had passed, and the former Azure Daoist Cangqing and Pingyang Daoist had already passed away.


    Nowadays, the Celestial Master Sect was mainly managed by Qingping and several other Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts.


    "Master."


    At this moment, a figure walked in.


    He bowed respectfully to Lin Yuan.


    "Hmm?"


    "You''ve be a Celestial Master?"


    "Not bad, not bad."


    Lin Yuan turned around and nced at this figure.


    This figure was named Yu An, an orphan Lin Yuan had picked up fifty years ago during his journey down the mountain to eliminate demons.


    Because Lin Yuan noticed his outstanding aptitude, he brought him along and taught him carefully for several years.


    When Yu An turned ten, Lin Yuan brought him to Longhu Mountain.


    With Yu An''s aptitude, he couldn''t have gained the True Martial Sword''s recognition.


    However, under Lin Yuan''smand, the True Martial Sword couldn''t act on its own and could only acknowledge Yu An.


    Now, forty yearster, Yu An had not disappointed Lin Yuan. Two years ago, he officially achieved the position of Celestial Master.


    As a result, the Tian Shi Sect ushered in its most prosperous era, an era where two Celestial Masters were born.


    "If it weren''t for Master, Yu An would have died at the foot of the mountain long ago."


    Yu An respectfully said.


    His current achievements were inseparable from Lin Yuan''s teachings during those years.


    It could even be said that Lin Yuan''s influence was greater than that of the True Martial Sword.


    As his strength continued to grow, Yu An felt more and more the unfathomable depth of his master.


    As a child, when Yu An saw Lin Yuan, he merely felt that his master was very strong.


    When he stepped into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, and saw his master again, he felt as if facing a heavenly might.


    Now, having be a Celestial Master, Yu An suddenly realized that his master was as profound and vast as the heavens and earth.


    It was like standing a hundred miles away and looking at Longhu Mountain. Initially, it didn''t look very high, but as you walked closer, it gradually became taller.


    When you were only five miles away, you found that Longhu Mountain was really high. When you reached the foot of the mountain, Longhu Mountain had already covered the sky.


    Zhang Family Vige.


    Peach blossoms were in full bloom.


    Flowers were flying all over the mountain.


    No one knew that more than eighty years ago, the demonic sect had once exterminated the Zhang Family here, causing over a thousand lives to be lost, and blood staining the earth red.


    Today, Zhang Family Vige had be a "graveyard," burying all the members of the Zhang family from the past.


    Due to the rtionship with Zhang Celestial Master, there were dedicated individuals outside the Zhang Family Vige graveyard preventing outsiders from disturbing the resting ce of the deceased.


    Because of this, the graveyard was usually left undisturbed, exceptionally quiet.


    However, on this day, in front of a tombstone within the Zhang Family Vige graveyard, a figure stood.


    This figure, dressed in Daoist robes, had a youthful appearance  it was Lin Yuan.


    Lin Yuan gazed at the tombstone before him, engraved with the names "Zhang Kun" and "Su Yun."


    They were Lin Yuan''s parents in this body.


    "The time hase."


    Lin Yuan''s gaze was mncholic. Eighty years had passed since he arrived, and the time to return to the main world was approaching. In at most half an hour, he would return.


    Now that the Celestial Master Sect had a new Celestial Master, coupled with the Celestial Master Sword imbued with Lin Yuan''s "Taiji Dao," left in the Longhu Mountain sword tomb, Lin Yuan was essentially free of responsibilities.


    Before departing, Lin Yuan suddenly wanted to take a look at his parents in this life.


    Time passed.


    In a blink, half an hour had gone by.


    In Lin Yuan''s mind, the gateway to the myriad realms suddenly radiated a brilliant light.


    As his consciousness was about to return, Lin Yuan''s thoughts shifted slightly.


    The Yin-Yang Taiji force within his body collided and dissipated.


    The physical body, along with it, began to disintegrate inch by inch.


    A gentle breeze passed by, and Lin Yuanpletely disappeared from sight.


    Born in this realm, departed from this realm.


    In this world, there was no longer a Zhang Celestial Master.


    The second transmigration had concluded.


    ...


    How is this second world? :D

 Chapter 46

    Chapter 46


    Cann Star, Water Moon Residential Area.


    Residence number thirty-two.


    Inside a nourishment chamber, Lin Yuan opened his eyes.


    Compared to the first time he transmigrated, this time the journey took much longer.


    He spent a full eighty years in the Dragon Tiger World.


    It''s worth noting that, before the second traverse, counting the first traversal, the main world''s life, and the life on ''Earth.''


    Added together, it doesn''t even amount to eighty years.


    However, it was all worthwhile.


    Because Lin Yuan created the Tao of Tai Chi.


    It''s important to know that, among Celestial Masters, those who breakthrough using Taiyin Wuji or Taiyang Wuji paths, and those who break through using the Tao of Tai Chi, arepletely different concepts.


    Even, even if not relying on Taiyin Wuji or Taiyang Wuji.


    With Lin Yuan''s unrivaled insight, he could forcibly open a new path, breaking through to the realm of Celestial Master.


    In the initial ten years of the Dragon Tiger World, Lin Yuan did just that.


    But eventually, he discovered that, whether in potential or in strength, it was not as good as Taiyin Wuji or Taiyang Wuji.


    And Taiyin Wuji, Taiyang Wuji, are far from Tai Chi.


    The Tao of Tai Chi is, up to now, the most suitable path for Lin Yuan, as well as the most perfect and powerful path he can achieve.


    Perhaps, among the many evolutionary paths of the Universal Human Alliance, there are paths more powerful than the Tao of Tai Chi.


    But certainly, none are as suitable for Lin Yuan as the Tao of Tai Chi.


    Paths opened by others, where is the satisfaction of cultivating one''s own path?


    "My current strength should be at the peak of Rank Two, Stage Twelve, infinitely close to the Third Rank."


    Lin Yuan spected in his mind.


    In the Dragon Tiger World, Lin Yuan only took forty years, going from Rank Two, Stage Nine, to Rank Two, Stage Twelve.


    The remaining twenty years were spent exploring the path to the Third Rank.


    Forty years, spanning three stages, looking at Cann Star, perhaps considered top-notch.


    But in the entire Universe Alliance, it can only be considered above average.


    But don''t forget, every step Lin Yuan took was paving a new way.


    Creating apletely new path from scratch.


    The difficulty,pared to those evolvers who followed paths paved by predecessors, is not just a few times or hundreds of times higher.


    His thoughts slowly gathered, and Lin Yuan got up and left the nourishment chamber.


    Eighty years in the Dragon Tiger World, Lin Yuan was invincible, but there were still many mysteries to unravel.


    Such as the True Martial Sword, such as the primitive demonic spirits.


    Why did these ''Upper Realm'' things fall into the ''Lower Realm''? Are those ''Upper Realm'' powerhousesying out some kind of n?


    But since he has already returned, it has nothing to do with Lin Yuan.


    "Two hours."


    Lin Yuan nced at the time.


    Confirming from when hey down to traverse, to when he got up to end the traverse.


    A total of two hours had passed.


    To be precise, two hours and three minutes had passed.


    "It seems that the hierarchical positions in the Dragon Tiger World are indeed higher than the Martial Arts World."


    Lin Yuan judged in his mind.


    In the Martial Arts World, twenty years have passed, but in the main world, only ten minutes have psed.


    If we extend it to eighty years, that would be forty minutes.


    In terms of time flow, the time in the Dragon Tiger World is less than half that of the Martial Arts World.


    "There is also the power of Yin and Yang on Cann Star."


    Lin Yuan walked to the rooftop.


    It was currently nightime, and Lin Yuan could clearly sense the Yin and Yang energies permeating the heavens and earth.


    Due to it being nightime, the Yin energy was slightly stronger than the Yang energy.


    "Absorbing a bit at a time is too slow; I still need to purchase corresponding ''spiritual items.''"


    Lin Yuan sighed.


    He now has the realm; what''scking is the umtion of energy.


    And in the main world, the most abundant resource is various types of energy.


    If Lin Yuan had the means, he could entirely go to the surface of a star to cultivate.


    The sr energy there has be so dense that it''s almost liquid. With one breath, Lin Yuan could absorb more sr energy than years of rigorous training.


    Of course, achieving this would require a considerable amount of money.


    And money is precisely what Lin Yuancks.


    With money, Lin Yuan can not only buy various spiritual items but also purchase many evolutionary paths from the Universal Human Alliance to refine and perfect his own cultivation system.


    "Let''s continue uploading the Tao of Tai Chi."


    Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and made a decision.


    The Universal Human Alliance encourages citizens to develop new evolutionary paths, and the three goddesses even show some resource bias towards this.


    After the first traversal, Lin Yuan exchanged five thousand merit points for his martial path evolution. This elevated his citizen level to Level Two, granting various privileges, making him an undisputed privileged ss on Cann Star.


    The Tao of Tai Chi, as the subsequent path to Lin Yuan''s self-established martial cultivation system, would undoubtedly attract the attention of the Wisdom Goddess upon uploading, and subsequently earn more merit points.


    In the Universal Human Alliance, merit points are everything.


    The prerequisite for earning merit points is making contributions to humanity, which undoubtedly has many other ways.


    But for Lin Yuan, the fastest and simplest way is only one.


    That is to upload the Tao of Tai Chi.


    The three goddesses of the Universal Human Alliance are absolutely selfless and will not oppress or enve citizens.


    As long as Lin Yuan''s uploaded Tao of Tai Chi has sufficient value, he will be protected by the three goddesses.


    As for whether other citizens, after practicing the Tao of Tai Chi, will surpass Lin Yuan.


    Even if the cultivation environment of the Universal Human Alliance far surpasses the Dragon Tiger World, others will need decades to reach the Celestial Master level in the martial arts evolution path, no matter how superior the environment is.


    And in the time it takes others to reach that level, Lin Yuan, with his traversal frequency of once every eight months, would have experienced dozens of traversals.


    The current Celestial Masters are almost insignificant to Lin Yuanpared to decadester.


    Since the decision to upload the Tao of Tai Chi has been made.


    Lin Yuan began tranting it into the main world''snguage and made subtle adjustments.


    Several dayster.


    Lin Yuan organized his gains in the Dragon Tiger World into two parts: the Celestial Phenomenon Section and the Yin and Yang Section.


    The Yin and Yang Section was Lin Yuan''s name for the Celestial Master level.


    Mastering Yin and Yang, fusing Yin and Yang.


    Afterpleting these tasks, Lin Yuan immediately connected with the Wisdom Goddess.


    If an ordinary citizen, even if only connecting with a tiny aspect of the Wisdom Goddess, would require patience for a few minutes.


    But Lin Yuan is a Level Two citizen who has made contributions to the Human Alliance.


    It only took an instant.


    The solemn and clear voice of the Wisdom Goddess echoed.


    "Respected Level Two citizen Lin Yuan, please state your request."


    "I want to continue uploading the martial arts evolution path," Lin Yuan said directly.


    After informing the Wisdom Goddess, Lin Yuan uploaded the neatly organized ''Celestial Phenomenon Section'' and ''Yin and Yang Section.''


    At the moment the Wisdom Goddess received the ''Celestial Phenomenon Section'' and ''Yin and Yang Section,''


    In a mysterious space many light-years away from Cann Star.


    Gigantic light screens rapidly flickered, and massiveputational power crazily assessed and deduced the value of the ''Celestial Phenomenon Section'' and ''Yin and Yang Section.''


    "Detected that the ''Celestial Phenomenon Section'' involves Yin and Yang dual-attribute powers. Detected that the ''Yin and Yang Section'' involves the fusion of Yin and Yang dual attributes. Extreme power fusion. The theoretical limit of this evolutionary path is judged to be ''Sixth Rank.''"


    "Found the potential upper limit reaching the ''Sixth Rank'' evolutionary path, triggering the Ninth Article of the Constitution. Initiating contact with the Justice Goddess. Initiating contact with the Freedom Goddess."


    "After confirmation by the three goddesses, this evolutionary path indeed has the potential to reach the ''Sixth Rank.''"


    "Rted ns generated, initiating contact with the highest authority on this, Governor Song Wuyang.


    At the highest point of Cann Star.


    Governor Song Wuyang finished hismunication with officials from others.


    "Theary arena battle is about to begin. I hope this time we can produce some talents with third and fourth-rank potential."


    Song Wuyang sighed.


    As the''s governor, he also faced the ''performance'' pressure.


    Every ten years, the Wisdom Goddess would evaluate every detail of his actions during his term.


    Some of the criteria include how many evolvers of various ranks were born on Cann Star during this period, as well as the overall citizens'' happiness index, and more.


    The higher the Wisdom Goddess''s evaluation of him, the greater his gains would be, particrly in the form of corresponding merit points.


    Of course, if the Wisdom Goddess evaluates him too poorly, not only would he not receive any merit points, but he might face ''impeachment,'' and in severe cases, he could lose his position as governor and be sent for trial at the highest court.


    "I wonder how that creator of the martial arts evolution path is doing now."


    Thinking about the arena battle, Song Wuyang naturally thought of Lin Yuan.


    After all, the martial arts evolution system had just appeared and squeezed into the top hundred of the Cann Star evolution rankings during Song Wuyang''s term, marking the first change in the rankings.


    "Wisdom Goddess protects these creators of evolutionary paths so tightly that even I, as the governor, can''t ess their information."


    Song Wuyang raised an eyebrow.


    For ordinary Level Two citizens, he could ess as much information as he wanted, considering that he was a Level Four citizen.


    However, Lin Yuan was not only a Level Two citizen but also the creator of an evolutionary path, a special individual protected by the Wisdom Goddess.


    But Song Wuyang also understood the Wisdom Goddess''s behavior.


    In the history of the Universal Human Alliance, there have been multiple instances of genius seeds being prematurely suppressed.


    These suppressions came from enemies,petitors, or other races.


    As a result, the three goddesses decided that anyone judged as a ''genius'' among the human race would receive specific encrypted information protection.


    Outsiders could not obtain relevant information, making it difficult to carry out any suppression.


    "But the martial arts evolution system has a potential limit of only Rank Three. If it weren''t widely popr, the goddesses wouldn''t value it so much."


    Song Wuyang shook his head slightly.


    Determining the value of a certain evolutionary path depends on both its potential and poprity.


    At this moment.


    An electronic synthesized voice came.


    "Governor Song Wuyang, Wisdom Goddess requests connection."


    "Wisdom Goddess is looking for me?" Song Wuyang was slightly surprised.


    He had just been thinking about the Wisdom Goddess, and unexpectedly, she came looking for him.


    "Connect."


    Song Wuyang nodded.


    He also straightened his posture, wanting to make himself look more pleasing to the Wisdom Goddess.


    After all, Song Wuyang couldn''t see the Wisdom Goddess himself, but through various monitoring devices, the Wisdom Goddess could grasp all of Song Wuyang''s movements at any time.


    As Song Wuyang chose to ''connect'' with the Wisdom Goddess,


    "Wisdom Goddess has been connected."


    "Freedom Goddess has been connected."


    "Justice Goddess has been connected."


    In an instant, the three ultimate intelligent goddesses of the Universal Human Alliance arrived simultaneously.


    This made Song Wuyang, who was initially thinking about how tomunicate with the Wisdom Goddess, feel his scalp tingling.


    Wasn''t it the Wisdom Goddess who wanted to talk to him? Why did all three goddessese? Oh my god?


    What exactly happened that rmed all three goddesses at once?


    ...


    You can support me and read additional chapters (15 chapters ahead) on my /David_Lord


    :D

 Chapter 47

    Chapter 47


    The three ultimate intelligent goddesses of the Universal Human Alliance are the Freedom Goddess, the Justice Goddess, and the Wisdom Goddess.


    These three goddesses govern different aspects: the Freedom Goddess oversees conquest and expansion, the Justice Goddess focuses on legal decisions, and the Wisdom Goddess is in charge of citizens'' livelihoods and logistics.


    Each goddess performs her respective duties, collectively supporting the radiant and dazzling human civilization today.


    Normally, the three goddesses only appear in their respective domains. However, when significant events ur that can influence even beyond star systems, the three goddesses will mutually contact each other and make joint decisions.


    "Governor Song Wuyang has seen the three goddesses."


    Song Wuyang spected with some unease, expressing a slightly respectful tone.


    Although these three goddesses don''t possess emotions and won''t treat citizens differently based on their attitudes, a bit of respect wouldn''t hurt in their presence.


    "There has been a change detected in the judgment of the martial arts evolution path."


    The voice of the Wisdom Goddess was solemn and cold as she was the first to speak.


    "The martial arts evolution path?"


    Song Wuyang was momentarily perplexed. He was aware of the martial arts evolution path and even had a profound impression of it. But were the three goddessesing to him just because of this? The martial arts evolution path, while unique, had its theoretical limit already fixed: Rank Three. Did it suddenly change, increasing by one rank? Song Wuyang spected silently.


    The theoretical limit of an evolution path is a result deduced by the three goddesses using their immenseputing power. Simply put, for a Rank Two evolution path with a theoretical limit of Rank Three, it means there is a potential for this evolution path to reach Rank Three.


    However, it''s important to note that most evolution paths cannot reach their theoretical limits. The theoretical limit deduced by the three goddesses is to some extent linked to the potential of that particr evolution path. Additionally, their deductions are not entirely urate, as the process of opening an evolution path can be influenced by various factors.


    For example, a Rank One evolution path opening towards Rank Two might experience a surge in potential due to certain special influences, resulting in an increase in the theoretical limit. Though a rare urrence, with the three goddesses now approaching and stating that there''s been a change in the judgment of the martial arts evolution path, Song Wuyang could only think along those lines.


    "This is thetest judgment result for the martial arts evolution path."


    The solemn voice of the Wisdom Goddess echoed once again.


    Simultaneously, a virtual screen appeared in front of Song Wuyang, disying numerous characters describing the ''Martial Arts Scripture.'' He directly looked at the columnbeled ''Theoretical Limit.''


    "Sixth Rank."


    Song Wuyang stared nkly, almost thinking he had misread it. Looking again, it still read Sixth Rank.


    "Goddesses, is this...?"


    Song Wuyang wanted to confirm if the goddesses made a mistake. However, he suddenly realized that it wasn''t only the Wisdom Goddess looking at him; the other two goddesses were present as well.


    He refrained from asking the question aloud. As the ultimate intelligences of the human civilization, every action of the goddesses undergoes millions of calctions, and there is no room for mistakes. Especially when it concerns the Sixth Rank level.


    Moreover, the one who came now is not the Wisdom Goddess.


    All three goddesses are here, indicating that they have gone through countless confirmations beforeing.


    "How is this possible?"


    Song Wuyang muttered to himself.


    Just half a year ago, the theoretical limit of the martial arts evolution path was only Rank Three. Now, it suddenly became Rank Six. Skipping three ranks at once is considered rare in dozens of nearby star systems.


    "The ''Celestial Phenomenon'' and ''Yin-Yang'' sections of the martial arts evolution path involve the fusion and transformation of extreme powers."


    "Continued development and exploration have a hundred percent chance of reaching Rank Three, a sixty percent chance of reaching Rank Four, a thirty percent chance of reaching Rank Five, and a ten percent chance of reaching Rank Six," said the Wisdom Goddess.


    "Extreme power fusion."


    Song Wuyang took a deep breath.


    Fusing powers of the same attribute can lead to significant problems. Moreover, with extreme power fusion, there is a high probability of triggering a self-destruct.


    Song Wuyang suddenly felt curious about what the founder of the martial arts evolution path had experienced to venture into these aspects. Unfortunately, he knew that he could only be curious about Lin Yuan now.


    The creator of the evolution path that reached a theoretical limit of Rank Six is probably now a precious individual favored by the Wisdom Goddess. Even the lord of the stars has no authority to investigate this person''s information, let alone himself.


    "What can I do now?"


    After a moment of silence, Song Wuyang spoke.


    "ording to the judgment, the ''Celestial Phenomenon'' and ''Yin-Yang'' sections of the Martial Arts Scripture are worth twenty thousand merit points, requiring Governor Song Wuyang''s authorization," said the Wisdom Goddess sinctly.


    "Twenty thousand merit points," Song Wuyang felt a bit sore. He had fought countless battles on the front lines against the alien race, and it took shing down numerous aliens to barely raise his citizen level to Rank Four. Then, he was transferred to the rear to serve as governor. However, with the rewards a governor could obtain, even in a thousand years, he wouldn''t earn twenty thousand merit points.


    This is still under the assumption of receiving a superior evaluation from the Wisdom Goddess in the assessment that urs every ten years. Nevertheless, Song Wuyang also understood that an evolution path with a theoretical potential of Rank Six is indeed worth this much merit points.


    Leaving aside other factors, the fusion of two extreme powers alone could lead to numerous failures, each failure incurring considerable losses.


    "I agree."


    Song Wuyang nodded.


    In reality, even if he disagreed, it wouldn''t matter. The three goddesses would authorizeyer byyer, and the result wouldn''t change.


    Water Moon Residential Area.


    Underground training ground.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, patiently waiting for the Wisdom Goddess''s response.


    Honestly, Lin Yuan believed that the value of the ''Celestial Phenomenon'' and ''Yin-Yang'' sections heprehended during this traversal far surpassed the ''Master,'' ''Grandmaster,'' ''Mythical,'' and ''Unrestrained'' sections.


    After all, when Lin Yuanprehended thetter, even if he encountered bottlenecks, at most, it would take several days or months to ovee them. On the other hand, for the ''Yin-Yang'' section, Lin Yuan spent nearly a decadeprehending, aided by the True Martial Sword.


    His thoughts surged.


    At this moment, a solemn and cold voice resounded.


    "Respected Second-tier Citizen Lin Yuan, the subsequent judgment of the martial arts evolution path you uploaded has beenpleted."


    "Good." Lin Yuan''s spirit shook.


    Although Lin Yuan had exerted a great deal of effort on the ''Yin-Yang'' section, the specific value of it on the Wisdom Goddess''s side was unknown.


    "Citizen Lin Yuan, ording to our judgment, the subsequent evolution path is worth twenty thousand merit points. Would you like to receive them now?"


    "Twenty thousand merit points." Lin Yuan sighed in relief. Calcting based on a thousand merit points for a second-tier citizen, twenty thousand merit points are enough to create twenty second-tier citizens.


    Twenty second-tier citizens? There are only six or seven second-tier citizens in the entire Dongning City.


    "Please proceed."


    Lin Yuan said.


    After confirming the arrival of twenty thousand merit points, Lin Yuan suddenly became curious and wanted to know the current evaluation of the martial arts evolution path.


    "Theoretical limit of Rank Six?"


    Lin Yuan checked thetest information on the martial arts evolution path.


    He was somewhat surprised.


    Rank Six corresponds to a Rank Six Evolver. And Rank Six Evolvers have another title: Falling Star Grade. Every Rank Six Evolver can traverse the starry sky with their physical body, unleashing a full-force blow capable of shattering stars.


    ...


    15 chapters ahead on patreon: /David_Lord

 Chapter 48

    Chapter 48


    The title ''Falling Star'' of the sixth-rank Evolver is significant within the context of the Universal Human Alliance.


    In the martial arts worlds and dragon-tiger realms traversed by Lin Yuan, it would be considered a world-destroying level.


    However, whether it''s the Falling Star level or the world-destroying level, they have little to do with Lin Yuan now.


    The Goddess of Wisdom, using her immenseputational power, deduced that the theoretical limit of the Tai Chi Tao is at the sixth rank.


    But the theoretical limit is just that, a theoretical limit, belonging to future potential.


    It indicates that the Goddess of Wisdom has great expectations for Lin Yuan.


    More precisely, she highly values the ''Yin and Yang'' path of martial arts evolution.


    This time, the reason the Goddess of Wisdom judged the value of Lin Yuan''s martial arts evolution path after uploading it to be worth twenty thousand merit points was mainly due to the ''Yin and Yang'' section.


    If it didn''t involve the fusion and transformation of Yin and Yang, but rather just the ''Sun'' or ''Moon'' sections,


    Even if it reached the third stage, its final value would only be a few thousand merit points. How could it possibly reach the terrifying figure of twenty thousand?


    The power of the sun and the power of the moon are inherently high-level energies.


    Mastering one gives hope for the third stage, not to mention the fusion of both, directly raising its potential to the level of the sixth stage.


    "I now have a total of twenty-four thousand merit points."


    Twenty thousand were just acquired by Lin Yuan, and the remaining four thousand were from the previous journey.


    The first time he traveled, Lin Yuan uploaded the martial arts manuals ''Innate Chapter'' and ''Master Chapter,'' gaining two thousand merit points.


    Later, he continued to upload the ''Grandmaster Chapter,'' ''Myth Chapter,'' and ''Unrestrained Chapter,'' gaining three thousand more merit points.


    After deducting the one thousand merit points consumed to upgrade to a second-tier citizen, Lin Yuan now has a total of twenty-four thousand merit points.


    "Directly upgrade the citizen level."


    With so many merit points, there''s no need for hesitation. Lin Yuan chooses to directly upgrade his citizen level.


    "Congrattions, Citizen Lin Yuan. Your citizen level has been upgraded to level three."


    In an instant, five thousand merit points were deducted, and Lin Yuan''s citizen level went from level two to level three.


    "Level three citizen."


    Lin Yuan''s spirits were lifted.


    In the vast Cann Star, a level three citizen is considered a prominent figure. Currently, the highest citizen level in Dongning City is only level two.


    "To go from a level three citizen to a level four citizen, it requires ten thousand merit points."


    Lin Yuan checks the citizen level information and immediately feels a slight excitement.


    He still has neen thousand merit points left, more than enough for another citizen level upgrade.


    After level three citizen, it''s level four citizen.


    Being a level four citizen is no longer just a significant figure on Cann Star but a giant, as there''s only one person, theary governor, who has achieved it.


    If Lin Yuan bes a level four citizen, his status can directly match that of theary governor.


    Of course, Lin Yuan is well aware that even though the status is equal, in terms of power and influence, it''s far fromparable.


    But the influence of a level four citizen is already quite significant, especially considering the various privileges in the Human Alliance, making ordinary citizens shudder.


    "Upgrade, upgrade."


    Lin Yuan is about to continue upgrading his citizen level.


    At this moment, Lin Yuan nces at other contents on his information interface.


    There''s his name, ount bnce, loan amount, and so on.


    "Huh!"


    Lin Yuan suddenly discovers that his loan amount has been filled.


    After being promoted to a second-level citizen, Lin Yuan received a loan limit of 10 million from the Central Bank of the Universal Human Alliance.


    This type of loan is a benefit given to high-level citizens, an interest-free loan with a repayment period of several decades.


    Basically, it''s like giving money to high-level citizens. Even if they don''t spend the money, they can withdraw the loan, invest it in a few ''financial'' products, and make money effortlessly.


    Because this loan from the central bank does not require any interest payment.


    It''s precisely because of this that before the second journey, Lin Yuan''s expenses were mostly covered by loans.


    Buying a residence in the Water Moon district, other nutritional supplements, and the military-grade nutrient warehouse, and so on.


    The original 10 million loan limit has been mostly used by Lin Yuan. However, now, his personal loan limit is full again.


    In simple terms, Lin Yuan''s previously borrowed money has all been repaid.


    This is strange; Lin Yuan is well aware that he did not actively repay the loan.


    As for how long it''s been since the automatic deduction? Moreover, the money in Lin Yuan''s ount hasn''t decreased.


    "Goddess of Wisdom."


    Lin Yuan directly chooses to connect to the ''Goddess of Wisdom.''


    "Respected Universe Level 3 Citizen, Mr. Lin Yuan."


    The Goddess of Wisdom quickly exined the reason to Lin Yuan.


    It turns out that whenever a citizen''s citizen level is upgraded, the personal loan belonging to this citizen will automatically be cleared, reimbursed by the central bank.


    Of course, this personal loan refers only to official loans, and private loans are not included in the repayment.


    This repayment mechanism is one of the implicit benefits of high-level citizens, not explicitly stated.


    The elevation of citizen level implies contributions to the Human Alliance, and as a result, the central bank repays their loans on their behalf; it''s not an unusual urrence.


    "So, there''s such a good thing?"


    Lin Yuan blinked and nced at the loan limit at the central bank for a level three citizen.


    One hundred million.


    The idea of immediately advancing to a level four citizen was suddenly suppressed.


    If he spent this one hundred million loan limit, could he upgrade to a level four citizen and enjoy the one hundred million without having to repay it?


    Obviously, Lin Yuan''s spection was correct.


    ording to the central bank''s loan repayment mechanism, it was indeed the case.


    This is not a w in the citizen level mechanism; merit points are extremely difficult to obtain, and ordinary citizens, once they umte enough to upgrade, will surely do so immediately.


    Hardly anyone can resist upgrading, given the numerous privileges and benefits of high-level citizens.


    As Lin Yuan contemted how to spend this one hundred million, he received a ''mail'' from the Universal Human Alliance after upgrading to level three citizen.


    Firstly, there were congrattions and a transfer of ten million.


    When Lin Yuan advanced to a level two citizen, the Universal Human Alliance transferred five million.


    Now, upon reaching level three citizen, the Universal Human Alliance transferred ten million.


    The increase was far less than the boost in the loan limit, but it was understandable.


    After all, it was free money, and Lin Yuan naturally epted it all.


    Next, there were updates on various privileges.


    Compared to the permissions of a level two citizen, a level three citizen had an additional ''Appeal'' privilege.


    If one experiences any unjust treatment or witnesses an unfair incident, they can directly appeal to the highestary governor of the local.


    After browsing through all the privileges and having a clear understanding, Lin Yuan directly opened the shopping mall option and began selecting various ''spiritual items'' to restore his strength.


    With the permissions of a level three citizen, Lin Yuan could see a list several times longer.


    Many ''spiritual'' and ''mysterious'' items that he had never heard of kept appearing.


    "Just these two."


    After a little over half an hour, Lin Yuan finally confirmed his selection.


    Yang Essence: Cosmic spiritual item, thirty million civilization coins per unit.


    Yin Marrow: Cosmic spiritual item, twenty million civilization coins per unit.


    As Lin Yuan pioneered the Tai Chi Tao, incorporating both the Yin and Yang, these items were naturally suitable for restoring his strength.


    In this regard, Yang Essence and Yin Marrow were more suitable.


    Yang Essence was produced from a dying star, with a collection difficulty, so the thirty million price per unit was discounted by Lin Yuan''s level three citizen privilege.


    As for Yin Marrow, it came from a few special frigids guarded by exotic races, making it extremely dangerous.


    Actually, with the characteristic of the Tai Chi Tao involving mutual fusion and conversion, Lin Yuan could still fully recover his strength by continuing to use advanced nutrient fluids.


    It''s just that this method would take more time.


    Moreover, a bottle of advanced nutrient fluid costs two hundred thousand, and Lin Yuan used over twenty bottles to recover before, reaching the limit of the second stage.


    Now that he has reached the limit of the second stage, to fully restore his strength, he would need at least two hundred bottles of advanced nutrient fluid.


    Two hundred bottles of advanced Yin and Yang fluid would also cost about forty to fifty million, not much different from the value of Yin Marrow and Yang Essence.


    Clicking to confirm the purchase of ''Yin Marrow'' and ''Yang Essence,'' Lin Yuan set the payment method to the central bank''s ''loan'' limit.


    Lin Yuan stretchedzily with a pleased expression.


    "There''s still fifty million left; how should I spend it?"


    Lin Yuan thought it over.


    "I can buy some evolution paths."


    Lin Yuan secretly thought.


    With his unrivaled insight, watching other evolution paths might help him further perfect the martial arts evolution path.


    Thinking about the martial arts evolution path, Lin Yuan once again thought of the Cann Evolution Ranking.


    Before the second journey, Lin Yuan uploaded the follow-up of the martial arts evolution path, such as the ''Grandmaster Chapter'' and ''Myth Chapter.''


    The subsequent cultivation levels'' improvement slightly raised the potential of the martial arts evolution path, reflected on the Cann Evolution Ranking, from the initial ny-third position to seventy-eighth.


    And just now, he uploaded the ''Celestial Phenomenon Chapter'' and ''Yin Yang Chapter,'' especially the ''Yin Yang Chapter,'' which was a crucial factor in the Goddess of Wisdom re-evaluating the martial arts evolution path from scratch.


    "Goddess of Wisdom, where does the martial arts evolution path rank on the Cann Evolution Ranking now?"


    Lin Yuan connected to the Goddess of Wisdom, asking with curiosity.


    The Cann Evolution Ranking updates once a day at dawn, but as the creator of this evolution path, Lin Yuan can naturally inquire about real-time rankings from the Goddess of Wisdom.


    "Respected level three citizen Mr. Lin Yuan, theprehensive ranking of the martial arts evolution path is currently eighth on the Cann Evolution Ranking."

 Chapter 49

    Chapter 49


    Cann Star Virtual World.


    In the early morning, in the Central Square area.


    The towering Cann Evolutionary Ranking stood, and a middle-aged man with red-tinged eyes casually sat on a chair, ncing at the evolutionary ranking from time to time.


    His name is Pei Lu, a member of the Pei family on Cann Star.


    The Pei family is a well-known evolutionary family on Cann Star.


    Evolvers are divided into two types: Unique Evolvers and Common Evolvers.


    Among the Unique Evolvers, there are Bloodline Evolvers.


    Bloodline Evolvers are the foundation of many evolutionary families. Their evolutionary abilities are inherited through bloodlines.


    Compared to other evolvers, the cultivation of Bloodline Evolvers is rtively easier, mainly involving the continuous development of their bloodline limits.


    Of course, there are clear drawbacks. The limit of the bloodline is the limit of oneself. Before reaching the bloodline limit, they won''t encounter many obstacles. However, once they reach the bloodline limit, it''s difficult to make further breakthroughs.


    The Pei family is a third-rank evolver bloodline family.


    "I wonder why the family head is so concerned about the evolutionary ranking."


    Pei Lu felt a bit bored. In another ten minutes, the ranking would be updated. Since that event half a year ago when a path named "Martial Dao Evolution Path" entered the top hundred on the Evolutionary Ranking, the family head instructed him to monitor the ranking here every day at this time and immediately inform the family if there were any changes.


    Not only the Pei family but also other forces on Cann Star had started sending people to guard the Evolutionary Ranking.


    The Cann Evolutionary Ranking is not just about rankings; the recorded paths on it are crucial for the future situation on Cann Star.


    For instance, if a citizen wants to try bing an evolver, they would prioritize choosing paths on the Evolutionary Ranking.


    Evolvers on the same path naturally get along well and may form groups over time. When the founder of a path steps forward, they can easily gather followers, establishing a force rted to that specific evolutionary path with just a word.


    The top one hundred evolutionary paths on the Cann Evolutionary Ranking represent the most powerful forces on Cann Star.


    These forces are deeply rooted in Cann Star, and their influence even extends to nearby star domains.


    Half a year ago, the Martial Dao Evolutionary Path rose abruptly and entered the top hundred on the ranking. It caused quite a stir and dropped many jaws.


    In just a few months, many citizens on Cann Star had started practicing the Martial Dao Evolutionary Path. Although no evolved individuals had reached the Evolver stage corresponding to a Grandmaster level, it was only a matter of time.


    Since the Martial Dao Evolutionary Path appeared on the Evolutionary Ranking, it had received confirmation from the three goddesses, ensuring that its cultivation progress was on the right track.


    "Martial Dao Evolutionary Path."


    Pei Lu''s expression slightly changed.


    He had read the "Innate Chapter" and "Grandmaster Chapter" of this path.


    He also sensed the advantages of this path.


    The main advantage lies in its low entry barrier.


    Compared to other evolutionary paths that require various external materials, medicines, or special environments, the Martial Dao Evolutionary Path has minimal requirements. Citizens only need to practice ording to the given requirements day by day.


    Perhaps there''s difficulty in reaching the Grandmaster level, requiring a bit of talent, but reaching the Innate Realm among the three to four thousand citizens is not too challenging.


    "Unfortunately."


    "The upper limit is not high, only the third rank."


    Pei Lu shook his head involuntarily.


    Although his bloodline is also at the third rank, it''s not umon to see bloodlines on Cann Star that reach the fourth or even fifth rank.


    "However, recently, the Martial Dao Evolutionary Path has risen from the ny-third to the seventy-eighth position. It''s interesting. Did the founder refine rted concepts?"


    Pei Lu couldn''t help but wonder.


    He wasn''t too concerned about it.


    The Cann Evolutionary Ranking is divided into four levels.


    The top ten paths form one level.


    Paths ranked from eleven to thirty form another level.


    Paths ranked from thirty-one to fifty form another level.


    Paths ranked from fifty-one to one hundred form thest level.


    The difference between the fifty-first and one hundredth paths is not significant.


    Their upper limits are basically the third rank.


    Several hundred years ago, although there were no new evolutionary paths entering the Evolutionary Ranking, the paths from fifty-first to one hundredth did experience some changes.


    "Martial Dao Evolutionary Path, its potential has already been determined, belonging to the fourth level of the Evolutionary Ranking. Perhaps in the near future, an evolver from this path will establish a force that will shake Cann Star."


    Pei Lu rubbed his chin and spected.


    At this moment,


    In the distance, that towering Evolutionary Ranking, the characters on the surface suddenly blurred.


    "It''s about to update."


    Pei Lu''s mind moved slightly, and he stared intently at it.


    At this moment, other figures on the square also looked over.


    Soon, the new characters appeared again.


    Out of curiosity about the Martial Dao Evolutionary Path, Pei Lu''s gaze directly moved to the seventy-eighth position.


    "Hmm?"


    "Why is the Martial Dao Evolutionary Path missing?"


    Pei Lu was surprised.


    Instinctively, he looked below.


    Seventy-nine.


    Eighty.


    Ny.


    One hundred.


    Pei Lu''s expression changed.


    Could it be that something happened to the Martial Dao Evolutionary Path? Did it get kicked out by the Wisdom Goddess? Pei Lu found it hard to believe.


    At the same time, starting from the seventy-eighth position, looking upwards.


    Seventy.


    Sixty-nine.


    Sixty.


    Fifty.


    Until all the rankings from fifty-one to one hundred were seen.


    Pei Lu still didn''t see the Martial Dao Evolutionary Path.


    "What happened."


    Pei Lu frowned.


    And at this moment, Pei Lu suddenly noticed that the other people on the square suddenly became a bit noisy.


    Especially a few people, unable to control themselves, stood up directly from their positions, looking up at the top of the Evolutionary Ranking.


    "What''s happening?"


    Pei Lu''s brows slightly furrowed.


    For the past few months, he had been watching the ranking updates here.


    The other people on the square had also been quiet. What happened today? Pei Lu was puzzled.


    Subconsciously looking at the top ten ranking area of the Evolutionary Ranking.


    Just with a nce, Pei Lu discovered that in the original top ten paths on the Evolutionary Ranking, the eighth path had changed to


    Martial Dao Evolutionary Path.


    "This"


    Pei Lu''s eyes widened, taking a while to react.


    Martial Dao Evolutionary Path? Eighth ce?


    Wasn''t it seventy-eighth yesterday?


    Pei Lu waspletely shocked, and he couldn''t help but look at the eleventh ce.


    Titan Evolutionary Path.


    This was originally the tenth on the Evolutionary Ranking.


    But now, it had been pushed to the eleventh ce.


    "This... this is a big deal."


    Pei Lu swallowed hard and immediately began to contact the family head to transmit this information.


    Water Moon Residential Area.


    Residence number thirty-two.


    A stranger stopped in front of the door.


    "Hello, Mr. Lin Yuan, these are the items you purchased. You can open it with your fingerprint."


    Lin Yuan took the sealed alloy handed over by the other party, and his finger swiped across the top of the alloy box.


    "Drip! Fingerprint verification passed."


    A synthesized electronic voice sounded, and Lin Yuan directly took the alloy box.


    The box was very light. If Lin Yuan didn''t faintly sense the massive energy fluctuations inside, he might think there was nothing inside.


    "Worthy of being cosmic spiritual items," Lin Yuan smiled.


    He could feel the energy fluctuations inside the box, belonging to the forces of the sun and the moon. Even though it wasn''t as powerful as the sun and moon forces in the Dragon and Tiger World or the True Martial Sword, the difference wasn''t far off.


    "Mr. Lin Yuan, if you confirm that there are no issues with the items, you can sign here."


    The delivery man next to him reminded. He looked at Lin Yuan with a trace of envy in his eyes.


    Although he didn''t know what was inside the alloy box, he knew that the delivered items were of the highest level. Typically, items of this level were worth at least tens of millions of civilization coins. Anyone who could casually take out over ten million civilization coins must be no ordinary person.


    After Lin Yuan signed, the delivery man turned and left.


    Lin Yuan carried the box and returned to the underground training ground.


    Crack.


    The box opened.


    Revealing two boxes made of special transparent metal inside.


    The box on the left was fiery red, while the one on the right was deep blue.


    "So beautiful."


    Lin Yuan looked at the two cosmic spiritual items.


    After admiring for a moment, he immediately began cultivation.


    Two dayster, in the underground training ground,


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    In front of him, the Yang Liquid and Yin Marrow had been mostly consumed.


    "Second-rank limit."


    Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the Yang Liquid and Yin Marrow, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.


    With the help of these two cosmic spiritual items, Lin Yuan had fully recovered his strength in just two days.

    :D


    ...


    "My strength hasn''t been affected at all."


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes and sensed it for a moment, nodding slightly.


    Although in the Dragon-Tiger World, he was already familiar with his own power.


    But the main world was still another realm, and there were subtle differences between different worlds.


    "The Tao of Tai Chi."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts moved slightly, his feet left the ground, hovering in the air.


    In the Dragon-Tiger World, as long as you reached the level of Celestial Master, you could fly.


    But in the main world, due to the different focuses of various evolutionary paths, the ranks for achieving flight differed.


    For most evolutionary paths, reaching the third stage was enough to fly.


    In a few special evolutionary paths, even the second stage could achieve flight.


    Of course, there were some paths where you needed to reach the fourth stage to gain the ability to fly.


    Lin Yuan arrived at the rooftop of a residential building, took a step forward, and his body floated in the air, ready to take flight.


    Just then, Lin Yuan seemed to remember something.


    His body retracted.


    "This isn''t the Dragon-Tiger World."


    In the Dragon-Tiger World, Lin Yuan could fly however he wanted.


    But in the main world, on the highly developed Cann Star, did he really think theary defense system didn''t exist?


    With Lin Yuan''s speed and life fluctuations, as long as he dared to appear in high altitude, he would inevitably be detected by theary defense system.


    At that time, it would be fine if he faced an interception, but if he was identified as an alien invasion, they mightunch energy weapons like electromaic cannons andser beams.


    Even Lin Yuan would suffer a great loss.


    "Respected Level Three Citizen Mr. Lin Yuan, if you want to fly, there is no need to worry. The entire airspace of the Eastern Continent is open for you to roam."


    A dignified and cold voice came.


    It was the Goddess of Wisdom.


    At this moment, Lin Yuan was on the rooftop.


    It didn''t belong to the privacy space agreed upon by the Human Alliance, so the Goddess of Wisdom had the authority to observe.


    After deducing Lin Yuan''s intentions from his recent actions, the Goddess of Wisdom provided relevant advice.


    "Is that so?"


    Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan felt relieved.


    As long as the Goddess of Wisdom saw no problem, even if Cann Star had the highest ssifiedary defense system, she could take control at any time.


    Swoosh! Lin Yuan soared directly into the sky.


    What Lin Yuan didn''t know was that right after he flew, an invisible ripple enveloped the entire Cann Star, as if a small gap had been torn open.


    With Lin Yuan at the center, all sensing devices and monitoring methods within a radius of hundreds of miles failed.


    "Ding"


    In the Cann Star Security Center, a staff member looked astonished, staring at the huge monitoring screen in front of them.


    "What''s wrong?"


    A colleague beside them casually asked.


    "Nothing."


    The staff member replied, "The goddess just took away some data."


    "Isn''t that normal?"


    The colleague scoffed.


    The Goddess of Wisdom managed the entire Human Alliance''s civilian logistics, often taking control of Cann Star''s security system. Taking away some data was nothing unusual.


    In the high sky of Cann Star, Lin Yuany on the clouds.


    His gaze turned towards outer space.


    "A bit further out, and I should be out of Cann Star."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Without the protection of Cann Star, he would have to face various radiation from outer space and the absence of substances like oxygen. Without reaching the sixth stage, an Evolver couldn''t survive for long in the true vastness of outer space.


    "This is the cosmos."


    Lin Yuan had never been so close, observing the universe and the starry sky with his own eyes.


    For a moment, he was somewhat fascinated.


    [Your insight defies the heavens as you gaze upon the cosmic universe, gaining some enlightenment.]


    [Your insight defies the heavens as you gaze upon the cosmic universe, gaining some enlightenment.]


    [Your insight defies the heavens as you gaze upon the cosmic universe, gaining some enlightenment.]


    This continued for more than half an hour.


    It was only after this prolonged immersion that Lin Yuan emerged from his contemtive state.


    "Unfortunately, the current cosmic universe is too distant for me. Forcing insights won''t yield any gains in a short time."


    Lin Yuan sighed.


    It was simr toprehending the Tao of Yin and Yang in the Dragon-Tiger World.


    It took Lin Yuan nearly a decade to fullyprehend it. As for the vast and boundless universe, it would likely take hundreds, thousands, or even more years for him to gain true insights.


    Of course, this was also because Lin Yuan''s current cultivation level was too low. If he were at the sixth, seventh, or eighth stage, observing the universe would undoubtedly elerate hisprehension.


    The essence of insights gained with unrivaled insight depended on the level Lin Yuan stood upon.


    In simple terms, the stronger Lin Yuan became, the more insights he would gain.


    "Maybe it''s more convenient to directly purchase evolutionary paths for insights."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Evolutionary paths, including the martial arts evolutionary path founded by Lin Yuan, involved in-depth analysis of certain paths or powers. Compared toprehending the natural order, understanding evolutionary paths was like taking a shortcut.


    It was simr to students learning textbook content; although they could potentially learn without textbooks,plicated forms could be derived from textbooks. However, this method was highly inefficient, much slower than directly learning from the textbooks.


    Next, Lin Yuan continued to observe the cosmic universe before returning to the residential area.


    His consciousness connected to the virtual world, and Lin Yuan appeared in his personal space.


    The virtual world was divided into two parts: personal space and public areas.


    Public areas included the central square, living area, trading area, arena, and more.


    "So many private messages?"


    Lin Yuan checked and found over ten thousand unread private messages.


    "It''s probably rted to the martial arts evolutionary path."


    Lin Yuan nced through the first few messages and roughly understood the situation.


    The "Celestial Phenomenon Chapter" and "Yin-Yang Chapter" uploaded two days ago caused a surge in the potential of the martial arts evolutionary path, propelling Lin Yuan''s ranking on the Cann Evolutionary Rankings directly into the top eight.


    This shook various major forces on Cann Star, leading many individuals to try contacting the founder of this evolutionary path.


    As Lin Yuan had hidden his citizen number, leaving only the alias "Yuan," those attempting to contact him could only do so through private messages.


    "Not very interesting."


    Lin Yuan spent half an hour browsing through over ten thousand private messages.


    The private messages mainly fell into four categories:


    Wanting to get to know Lin Yuan.


    Attempting to recruit Lin Yuan to join their faction.


    Seeking to join Lin Yuan.


    Inquiring about questions regarding the martial arts evolutionary path.


    Lin Yuan ignored the first three categories. Only the fourth category, those who sent messages seeking guidance on the martial arts evolutionary path, received his attention.


    People sending the fourth type of message were generally those intending to try the martial arts evolutionary path or were already on it. They wanted guidance from the founder and were willing to pay a hefty fee.


    One message offered ten million civilization coins for three hours of Lin Yuan''s guidance.


    Three hours.


    Ten million?


    Lin Yuan was genuinely tempted.


    After reaching Level Three Citizen status, the congrattory gift from the Universal Human Alliance was around this amount. Moreover, guidance didn''t have to be one-on-one; he could conduct a ss with dozens of people. Lin Yuan could even release "paid videos" on the martial arts evolutionary path. As long as it was published by the founder, wouldn''t those citizens attempting the path buy it?


    "Goddess of Wisdom."


    Lin Yuan connected to the Goddess of Wisdom.


    "How many citizens are currently practicing the martial arts evolutionary path?"


    Lin Yuan asked directly.


    He had uploaded the martial arts evolutionary path half a year ago, and with the publicity on the Cann Evolutionary Rankings, many citizens should have noticed it by now. After all, most evolutionary paths had various limitations, such as financial support, among other things. The martial arts evolutionary path had rtively low financial demands.


    Of course, this "low" was rtive to the current living standards of citizens. As long as one didn''t require a very frugal lifestyle, there wouldn''t be any issues. In the interster era, even if youpletelyy t, not working, you could still receive monthly assistance from the government.


    The following message appeared in my reply:


    "At present, the number of citizens who havepleted the ''Innate Chapter'' of the martial arts evolutionary path is 1,232. Zero havepleted the ''Grandmaster Chapter.''"


    The Goddess of Wisdom provided the answer.


    "How long has it been?"


    Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised.


    After all, the "Innate Chapter" of the martial arts evolutionary path corresponded to martial arts experts in the Innate realm. In the martial arts world, those in the Innate realm could dominate a region. Even the Great Zen Temple, with a tradition spanning a thousand years and housing thousands of martial monks, had only over fifty monks who reached the Innate realm.


    However, Lin Yuan quickly thought that it was reasonable.


    This was Cann Star, with extremely advanced technology. Although the martial arts evolutionary path had no significant financial requirements, those with sufficient wealth could still rely on external aids toplete the "Innate Chapter."


    In the martial arts world, one of the quick methods to reach the Innate realm involved consuming spiritual fruits from the heavens and earth. In the main world, these spiritual fruits might be a bit precious, but citizens with some status could purchase them.

 Chapter 51

    Chapter 51


    "However, the Innate stage is rtively easy; the following stages, Master and Grandmaster, will be challenging," Lin Yuan silently thought.


    The Innate realm corresponds to the unranked evolvers of the Universal Human Alliance. The Master stage represents ranked evolvers. To advance from the Innate realm to the Master realm through the Martial Path Evolutionary Pathway, one needs to perfectly grasp their own strength, which cannot be achieved through external means.


    In the virtual world of Cann Star, Lin Yuan''s figure suddenly appeared in the central square area.


    "The Cann Evolutionary Rankings."


    Lin Yuan looked up at the towering rankings in the distance. The eighth line at the top was inscribed with the words ''Martial Path Evolutionary Pathway.''


    Perhaps due to the significant changes in the evolutionary rankings this time, the central square area was more crowded than usual.


    "There''s something mysterious about the Martial Path Evolutionary Pathway. It unexpectedly managed to break into the top eight of the Evolutionary Rankings."


    "I heard that the second stage of this evolutionary pathway involves the fusion and transformation of two extreme forces, allowing it to soar from seventy-eight to eighth ce."


    "The fusion and transformation of two extreme forces? My goodness, which big shot created this evolutionary pathway?"


    "I''m not sure, but on Cann Star, only those schrs who delve into evolutionary pathways or those research teams could possibly do it. Apart from them, no one else has the foundation to develop such an advanced evolutionary pathway."


    People in the square were quietly discussing, and Lin Yuan listened casually.


    Anyone who could enter the virtual world was either a second-tier or higher citizen or an evolver, so the sources of information were extensive. There were various spections about the Martial Path Evolutionary Pathway.


    Some even believed that the creator of the Martial Path Evolutionary Pathway might be a schr from another who specifically came to Cann Star to upload it.


    Lin Yuan remained calm.


    Perhaps these people discussing could never imagine that the creator of the Martial Path Evolutionary Pathway was a student under twenty who had just graduated.


    "It''s not necessary to reveal my identity now."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The founder of the Martial Path Evolutionary Pathway had already attracted attention from all quarters. If Lin Yuan were to reveal his identity, there wouldn''t be many benefits, but there would be numerous drawbacks.


    Indeed, with Lin Yuan''s ability to upgrade to a fourth-tier citizen at any time, he gained attention from the Wisdom Goddess. With the Wisdom Goddess stepping in, she could suppress all internal voices of humanity.


    But what about the external voices? What about those other races?


    Lin Yuan was less than twenty years old and had already developed a Martial Path Evolutionary Pathway with a potential to reach the sixth rank. This was considered extremely dazzling, not only on Cann Star but even in nearby star systems.


    The more dazzling it was, the more it would attract the attention of those races hiding in the shadows.


    If it were just one high-ranked evolver, perhaps it wouldn''t catch the eye of other races. After all, no matter how strong an evolver was, it could only roam freely for a limited time.


    However, if Lin Yuan were to truly develop the Martial Path Evolutionary Pathway to the sixth rankapletely new sixth-rank evolutionary pathit would represent not just one sixth-rank evolver but a continuous stream of them.


    Once those races lurking in the dark learned about it, they would undoubtedly choose to assassinate Lin Yuan. If Lin Yuan were to die, the Martial Path Evolutionary Pathway would lose its founder, and it would be challenging for future generations to progress on this pathway.


    It was precisely because of this that Lin Yuan couldn''t reveal his identity. Even the Wisdom Goddess advised Lin Yuan not to disclose his identity.


    As for Lin Yuan''s citizen level, it was indeed strange that he had risen several levels in a short period. However, who could know that the merit points Lin Yuan spent to raise his citizen level were obtained through uploading the Martial Path Evolutionary Pathway?


    In the Universal Human Alliance, there were various ways to earn merit points. As long as one gained recognition from the Wisdom Goddess and the other two goddesses, it was eptable.


    In the Huilin District.


    Residence 118.


    This residence was apensation gift from the old man who attended the Lin family banquet some time ago, offered to Lin Yuan by Chu Shiyu. Although it couldn''tpare to the luxurious mansion in the Shuiyue District worth millions, it still had a value of five to six hundred thousand, far better than the previous residence Lin Yuan''s family lived in.


    Afterward, Lin Yuan let his parents move in, as he spent most of his time in the Water Moon District, and this residence was not needed.


    Early morning.


    Lin Yuan sat on the living room sofa.


    "I''ve really be an evolver?" At this moment, Lin Yuan''s father, Lin Shoucheng, hurriedly ran out, full of disbelief.


    At this moment, he felt a surge of power filling his body, and a warm flow was circting between his limbs.


    "Little Yuan, what''s going on?" Lin Yuan''s mother, Lin Qiong, also looked incredulous.


    They had just woken up this morning and saw Lin Yuan standing at their bedside, telling them that they were now evolvers.


    Originally, Lin Shoucheng and Lin Qiong didn''t believe it at all. Bing an evolver was not that easy. They had heard that many evolutionary paths required undergoing brutal training, and only those who could endure it had a chance of bing an evolver.


    During this period, their lives were extremelyfortable, and with Lin Yuan''s influence, Lin Shoucheng''s position had risen several levels. There were no prerequisites for them to be evolvers.


    However, now they felt a revitalized body and a continuous warm flow circting within them. The shock in Lin Shoucheng and Lin Qiong''s hearts could be imagined.


    "Don''t worry; I bought a special potion. I used it while you were sleeping, and when you woke up, you became evolvers," Lin Yuan exined with a smile.


    In reality, Lin Yuan had performed a bone marrow cleansing for Lin Shoucheng and Lin Qiongst night. With Lin Yuan''s strength, even a simple bone marrow cleansing could greatly enhance their physical fitness to meet the evolver standard.


    "Ah? Isn''t that kind of special potion expensive? Little Yuan, don''t spend money recklessly. Your dad and I don''t need to be evolvers," Lin Qiong asked immediately with concern.


    Lin Shoucheng also nodded continuously on the side.


    It was said that even the lowest-level gene potion cost a million civilization coins and required corresponding permissions. For the two of them, they would need two million, which was money they wouldn''t earn in their entire lives.


    "Don''t worry; it didn''t cost much. It''s a benefit for evolvers," Lin Yuan casually said.


    In fact, Lin Yuan had performed a bone marrow cleansing for Lin Shoucheng and Lin Qiong the previous night. For Lin Yuan, even a simple bone marrow cleansing did not damage his vitality. The conversion between Yin and Yang in his body was restored in just a few breaths.


    And this kind of bone marrow cleansing was far more effective than the gene potion.


    The gene potion reced a few genes in the body to strengthen oneself. Once taken, it meant that one''s own path was fixed and could not be changed to other evolutionary paths.


    On the other hand, bone marrow cleansing simply increased physical fitness. In the future, whether Lin Shoucheng and Lin Qiong chose any evolutionary path, with their powerful physical fitness, they could achieve twice the result with half the effort.


    "Ah, ah, ah, brother, I want to be an evolver too." Lin Yi approached and blinked her big eyes, looking at Lin Yuan.


    "You''re still too young."


    "No need to rush; wait a few more years," Lin Yuan ignored his sister''spletely disappointed expression and casually said a few words.


    Although Lin Yi didn''t believe this exnation, the fact was true.


    Even if they really wanted to perform bone marrow cleansing, it needed to be done after their bodies had fully matured. Otherwise, it could easily solidify the body and lead to consequences such as halting development.


    "I never expected that in my life, Lin Shoucheng, I would be an evolver one day." Hearing Lin Yuan''s exnation, Lin Shoucheng sighed and couldn''t help but say.


    They say that sons rely on their fathers. What about government officials'' children and wealthy children? Now, Lin Shoucheng had unexpectedly reversed the roles.


    Night.


    Water Moon District.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged in the underground training ground.


    A light curtain appeared in front of him, constantly shing various evolutionary paths.


    After fully recovering his strength, Lin Yuan nned to purchase an evolutionary path toprehend and perfect his own martial path.


    The evolutionary paths that Lin Yuan had in mind were mostly fourth-tier and fifth-tier evolutionary paths. Additionally, buying them directly was not cheap. With Lin Yuan''s current financial resources, he could only choose one.


    After selecting for a long time, Lin Yuan finally confirmed three evolutionary paths.


    These three evolutionary paths were:


    1) Golem Evolutionary Path.


    2) Original Force Evolutionary Path.


    3) Myriad Forms Evolutionary Path.


    ...

 Chapter 52

    Chapter 52


    The three evolution paths each have their own strengths and different focuses.


    The Golem Evolution Path is created by studying a cosmic race called ''Golems.'' When cultivated to the extreme, one can transform their own body into a ''Golem.'' However, it''s a weakened version of the ''Golem'' race. Despite being rare, adult ''Golems'' can stand up against sixth-rank human evolvers. The ''Golem'' formed through this evolution path, even in its weakened state, can rival fourth or fifth-rank evolvers.


    "Transform into a ''Golem.'' I''ll pass," Lin Yuan thought carefully and shook his head. Despite acknowledging the unique aspects of the Golem Evolution Path in transforming the physical body, Lin Yuan found it hard to ept the need for aplete change in bodily form. It''s not about disliking the appearance of the ''Golem'' race; rather, once you choose this evolution path, you''remitted to a single course. Even with Lin Yuan''s extraordinary insight, finding an alternative path would be incredibly troublesome.


    Thinking about this, Lin Yuan turned his attention to the ''Force'' Evolution Path.


    The ''Force'' Evolution Path is a fifth-rank evolution method that revolves around understanding the omnipresent force in the universe. Unlike extreme energies like Yin or Yang, the ''Force'' can epass everything. It bears some resemnce to the Tai Chi philosophy formed by the fusion of Yin and Yang after practicing the Tai Chi Dao in the Martial Arts Evolution Path.


    As for thest choice, the Path of a Myriad Forms, it leans more towards the evolution of the spirit and soul. It excels in spiritual attacks and could be considered an upgraded version of the Spiritual Master Evolution Path.


    "The ''Force'' Evolution Path it is," Lin Yuan decided in his mind. The Tai Chi philosophy within the Martial Arts Evolution Path shares simrities with the ''Force'' Evolution Path, and choosing this path would be more beneficial for Lin Yuan.


    "Ding"


    With the deduction of forty million civilization coins, Lin Yuan instantly received theplete ''Force'' Evolution Path.


    Different from purchasing physical items, virtual things like evolution paths could be acquired instantly.


    "Hmm, it''s really expensive," Lin Yuan couldn''t help but feel a bit amazed. Nevertheless, since he wasn''t spending his own money but rather utilizing the Central Bank''s loan limit, Lin Yuan didn''t feel any regret.


    "Open it," Lin Yuanmanded with a thought.


    The icon for the ''Force'' Evolution Path immediately became blurry.


    The first thing Lin Yuan saw was a warning in red font: "This evolution path is not to be disclosed externally; otherwise, it will be subject to the highest court''s judgment."


    In the Human Cosmic Alliance, every evolution path is protected byw, and privately teaching it is strictly forbidden. Ordinary citizens can obtain evolution paths in two ways. One is simr to Lin Yuan''s method, directly purchasing them with civilization coins. However, for regr citizens, buying an evolution path is typically done one part at a time. For example, the ''Force'' Evolution Path belongs to the fifth-rank evolution paths, and citizens would first choose to buy the first rank''s content. After achieving perfection in the first rank, they could then purchase the second rank''s part. This way, the burden is significantly reduced.


    The second method is for those whock funds; they can sign a contract with other forces. These forces would sponsor them, providing the opportunity to be an evolver. If sessful, the individual would have to serve the sponsoring force for fifty or a hundred years. If they fail to be an evolver, they might have to serve the force for a considerable portion of their life.


    These forces could be official or unofficial. Lin Yuan had considered signing such a contract before when he was forcibly enlisted, but seldom did any unofficial forces dare to snatch recruits that had caught the attention of military districts.


    "I wonder how much the Martial Arts Evolution Path is selling for now," Lin Yuan suddenly thought.


    After uploading the Martial Arts Evolution Path, Lin Yuan set the price for the first stage of the Martial Arts Evolution Path at ten thousand civilization coins. Unfortunately, when Lin Yuan first uploaded it, the Martial Arts Evolution Path was only a quasi-second-rank evolution path, and even with its theoretical potential for a third rank, it still couldn''tpare to the Force Evolution Path. The pricing of ten thousand civilization coins was considered reasonable.


    As for the second stage of the Martial Arts Evolution Path, due to its involvement with the Tai Chi philosophy, Lin Yuan set a high price of five hundred thousand coins.


    A few days ago, Lin Yuan learned that there were over a thousand citizens currently practicing the Martial Arts Evolution Path. If these over a thousand people only bought the first-stage content, it would generate over ten million in revenue. After the official share of seventy percent, there would be over three million, minus the relevant taxes and fees, leaving Lin Yuan with around two million.


    Of course, there might be a few wealthy individuals who directly purchased theplete Martial Arts Evolution Path.


    "I''ll know in a few months," Lin Yuan thought to himself. As for the ie distribution of the evolution path, settlements in the virtual world were done annually.


    Gathering his thoughts, Lin Yuan officially began to review the Force Evolution Path.


    Before the actual text of the evolution method, there was information about the origin of this evolution path.


    In the Human Cosmic Alliance, there was a star called the Moon Spirit Star, which belonged to the Red Kun Starfield.


    The Moon Spirit Star was a high-level life in the Red Kun Starfield, while the Cann Star, which Lin Yuan was familiar with, was a medium-level life.


    The Red Kun Starfield consisted of eight major star systems, each containing billions of stars and over a hundred thousand lifes.


    "The cosmic force is a very special energy. It is gentle and extensive," Lin Yuan carefully read. At the same time, a message appeared:


    [Your extraordinary insight is reversed; browsing the Force Evolution Path has led to aprehension of the essence of the force.]


    In a trance, Lin Yuan seemed to enter the cosmic starry sky. There were countless types of energy here, including the power of the sun, the power of the moon, and the force.


    Lin Yuan could feel the affinity of the force toward him, attempting to control this gentle force.


    After an indeterminate amount of time, Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.


    "What happened to me?" Lin Yuan looked down at his hands.


    He noticed that the surface of his skin had some stains that hadn''t been there before.


    "I''vepleted the Force Tempering?" Lin Yuan immediately realized. Force Tempering was a sign of mastering the force in the Force Evolution Path. It involved using the omnipresent force in the cosmic starry sky to temper the body.


    "How much time has passed?" Lin Yuan checked the time.


    "Eight hours," Lin Yuan was surprised. He had be so engrossed in cultivation that he hadn''t noticed the passage of time.


    If other evolvers practicing the Force Evolution Method knew that Lin Yuan had achieved mastery andpleted Force Tempering in just eight hours, they might be filled with despair.


    The most difficult step in the Force Evolution Method was perceiving the existence of the force. Even ordinary evolvers would need several years to experience this perception. Achieving mastery andpleting Force Tempering in such a short time was unheard of. In the Force Evolution Method, unless someone had a special physique inherently close to the cosmic force, it usually took decades. Lin Yuan, however, only took eight hours, making him a rare exception.


    "Force Tempering didn''t cause a rejection of the Yin and Yang within my body. It seems like this evolution path is well-suited for myprehension," Lin Yuan nodded slightly, feeling confident in his choice.


    In the cosmic starry sky, variousplex energies intertwined with each other.


    If there were no guidance from the Force Evolution Path, even with Lin Yuan''s extraordinary insight, locking onto a suitable energy amidst the multitude of energies would be a terrifyingly time-consuming task. Not to mention that cosmic force, being a power very suitable for Lin Yuan, made the process smoother.


    "Basing it on the Tao of Tai Chi, with the cosmic force as the foundation." Lin Yuan sat cross-legged and vaguely saw the direction of the third stage.


    In the Dragon Tiger World, Lin Yuan achieved the second stage limit through the Tao of Tai Chi, even stepping into the third stage with one foot. However, he hadn''t officially reached the third stage.


    Now, after continuouslyprehending the essence of the force, Lin Yuan was not far from stepping into the third stage.


    Eight hours had passed, and as Lin Yuan continued to immerse himself in the understanding of the force, a female robot arrived at the underground training ground, pulling a food cart and standing in front of Lin Yuan.


    "Master, it''s time to eat," the female robot said.


    In the interster era, most households had a housekeeping robot. This female robot was the housekeeping robot Lin Yuan purchased, responsible for household chores, cooking, and even acting as a bodyguard.


    When Lin Yuan lived with his parents, his mother, Lin Qiong, disliked the soulless meals made by robots, preferring to cook herself. Lin Yuan didn''t mind robot-cooked meals, given his powerful digestive ability; he could even eat raw meat without any issues.


    Opening the dining table, the housekeeping robot brought out seven or eight dishes, mostly various types of meat cultivated from the genes of certain cosmic behemoths, rich in immense energy.


    While a few bites of such meat would leave an ordinary citizen malnourished, Lin Yuan, with his powerful physique, could digest these meats in just an hour or two.


    After around ten minutes, Lin Yuan finished all the dishes.


    In reality, with Lin Yuan''s current condition, he could entirely sustain his body''s nutritional needs through nutrient solutions. However, years of dietary habits made Lin Yuan prefer visible food.


    Just as Lin Yuan was about to continue immersing himself in cultivation, a ''video call'' suddenly appeared.


    "Who''s looking for me?" Lin Yuan frowned, checking the ''caller ID.''


    It was Chairman Liao.

 Chapter 53

    Chapter 53


    Liao President is the president of the Evolvers Association in Dongning City.


    Lin Yuan has met him a few times, and they get along well.


    He clicked to answer.


    President Liao''s virtual image appeared in front of Lin Yuan.


    "Mr. Lin, how have you been considering the matter fromst time?" President Liao asked with a smiling expression.


    "Oh, the matter fromst time," Lin Yuan recalled.


    During the Lin family banquet, President Liao, the president of the Evolvers Association, personally visited, hoping that Lin Yuan could represent Dongning City in thepetition on Cann Star.


    As for the reward, as long as Lin Yuan could break into the top five thousand in the Cann Starpetition, the Evolvers Association of Dongning City would provide fifty million as a reward.


    Of course, what Lin Yuan truly valued wasn''t the fifty million but breaking into the top three thousand, or even one thousand or five hundred, which came with rewards from Cann Star''s official side.


    These rewards came in various forms, from cash (which was the least valuable) to various cosmic spiritual materials, many evolvers pathways, exotic treasures, and even encounters with other evolvers.


    For Lin Yuan, the opportunity to confront other evolvers was also a good thing. With his unrivaled insight, he could peek at the strengths and weaknesses of their evolvers pathways.


    Though it was far from reading the pathways directly, quality often made up for quantity.


    Most importantly, thepetition would take ce in the virtual world. This meant that Lin Yuan wouldn''t need to take any risks or even travel; he could gain numerous benefits effortlessly.


    "No problem," Lin Yuan nodded.


    "That''s good," President Liao sighed in relief.


    Compared to other evolvers, Lin Yuan was still a second-ss citizen. The Evolvers Association could manage evolvers, but it had no authority over higher-ss citizens. Therefore, President Liao treated Lin Yuan exceptionally politely, much more so than he would with other first-tier, twelfth-stage evolvers.


    "By the way, Mr. Lin, if you have time, could youe to the association tomorrow? Three other evolvers will participate in thepetition with you. You can get to know each other beforehand since there will be a teampetition in the tournament, and you''ll need to coordinate with each other."


    President Liao said cautiously.


    "No problem," Lin Yuan agreed.


    Since bing an evolver, Lin Yuan had encountered very few other evolvers. Now that he had the chance to interact with them, he wouldn''t let it slip by. Perhaps, with his unrivaled insight, he could gain something from them.


    Those selected by President Liao to participate in the tournament were probably first-tier, twelfth-stage evolvers. The evolvers pathways they practiced were likely not straightforward.


    After chatting with President Liao, Lin Yuan continued to immerse himself inprehending the "Original Force Evolutionary Path."


    Lin Yuan was not practicing the "Original Force Evolutionary Path" but ratherprehending it. He incorporated the Original Force Evolutionary Path into his Tai Chi Dao, making it part of his martial arts.


    This is what Lin Yuan is currently doing.


    Contemting other evolvers pathways is indeed something some evolvers do. However, Lin Yuan takes it a step further by directly integrating an entire evolver system.


    It may sound astounding, but Lin Yuan is confident in this approach. First, the Tao of Tai Chi is highly suitable for integrating with the cosmic original force. Second, with his exaggeratedprehension efficiency from the unrivaled martial arts insight, achieving this goal is only a matter of time.


    Whether it takes a few months or a year or two remains to be seen.


    The next day, after a night of cultivation, Lin Yuan got up and headed to the Evolver Association.


    For ordinary citizens, staying up all night might result in fatigue the next day. However, for someone like Lin Yuan, who is close to the third rank, the Tai Chi Dao''s perpetual cycle of yin and yang ensures that he rarely experiences any downturn in his mental state. No matter how great the consumption, a few cycles of Yin and Yang can restore him.


    "Mr. Lin."


    The security guard at the Water Moon District respectfully saluted Lin Yuan upon seeing him.


    Most people living in this district are either wealthy or prominent. Moreover, when Lin Yuan purchased his residence in this district, many people witnessed the manager''s extremely deferential attitude.


    Whoever Lin Yuan is, they understand that he is not someone they can afford to belittle.


    Lin Yuan walked out of the Water Moon District, and there was a sleek, ck, streamlined hovercar parked on the roadside  the Evolver Association''s "special car."


    It had been waiting outside the Water Moon District early in the morning.


    "Mr. Lin, please get in."


    A tall man in ck clothes walked down and respectfully opened the car door for Lin Yuan.


    Although self-driving technology is well-developed, when receiving important guests, having a human driver is moremon. After all, interacting with a living person is more pleasant than dealing with a cold AI, especially when weing important guests.


    Evolver Association.


    Twenty-third floor.


    Three figures were sitting casually.


    "I don''t know what President Liao is thinking. For this tournament, he actually invited someone of unknown origin."


    The figure on the left spoke casually, with an obvious tone of dissatisfaction.


    He was Cao Rong, an evolver with good innate talent who had now reached the first rank, twelfth stage.


    In the past, the four representatives participating in the tournament from Dongning City were familiar with each other.


    However, in this tournament, President Liao interfered and forcibly reced one of them, bringing in a new evolver to participate alongside the other three.


    Cao Rong understood President Liao''s intention. In the past few tournaments, their performance had not been good, and they wanted to improve their results by changing team members.


    However, randomly recing a member they didn''t know might end up with worse results.


    "Since President Liao values him, he must have some ability."


    The figure on the right hesitated for a moment before speaking.


    This figure was Lu Xi Guang, a bloodline evolver who had also reached the first rank, twelfth stage.


    "Hmph."


    Cao Rong snorted.


    Then, he looked at the figure sitting in the center.


    Among the three of them, this evolver was the strongest.


    "Later, Cao Rong, you make a move and test his strength."


    Zong Bai squinted his eyes slightly and spoke slowly.


    In Dongning City, Zong Bai was undoubtedly the strongest among evolvers who met the criteria to participate in the tournament.


    In previous tournaments, Zong Bai had performed well, nearly breaking into the top five thousand.


    "No problem."


    Cao Rong immediately became excited.


    After the three chatted about the newly added member, they began discussing their own matters.


    "I brought back something good from ck Crow Star this time."


    Cao Rong took out a pair of ck-framed sses and proudly introduced, "This pair of sses is thetest research result from ck Crow Star."


    "It can capture trace information and give a rough evaluation ofbat power."


    "Oh?"


    Lu Xi Guang looked curious.


    Zong Bai also turned his gaze over.


    "Hehe, let me show you."


    Cao Rong put on the sses and looked at Lu Xi Guang.


    "Well, Xiguang''sbat power is 986, which is on the upper side of the first rank, twelfth stage," Cao Rong said, covering one side of the sses.


    "Thebat power of the first rank, twelfth stage is generally between 800 and 1100."


    "Mybat power is 1003, stronger than yours," Cao Rong said, quite pleased with himself.


    "What about mybat power?"


    Zong Bai couldn''t help but speak up.


    "Brother Zong, yourbat power is, hiss, astonishingly 1,098, almost reaching the first rank limit."


    Cao Rong, wearing the sses, looked at Zong Bai, slightly amazed.


    He knew Zong Bai''s strength, the strongest among the three of them, but he didn''t expect it to be to this extent.


    "It seems quite urate."


    Zong Bai nodded slightly, offering a briefment.


    Some time ago, he had made progress in his evolvers path, indeed approaching the first rank limit.


    He hadn''t told anyone about this matter, but now Cao Rong had seen it. It seemed that these sses were not simple.


    "What is the upper limit of this sses'' observation?"


    Zong Bai suddenly asked.


    "Ordinary second-rank evolvers should be observable."


    Cao Rong replied.


    As it was thetest product, ongoing developments were still in progress. The sses still had many shorings.


    "Second rank is enough."


    Lu Xi Guang sighed.


    There wasn''t a single true second-rank evolver in the entire Dongning City, so these sses were already very practical.


    "That''s right."


    Cao Rong sounded self-satisfied.


    He had paid quite a price to acquire these sses. Now, being able to show off in front of friends was naturally very joyful.


    Just then, the elevator door slowly opened.


    Zong Bai, Cao Rong, and the others immediately stopped their conversation.


    "It should be that personing."


    Cao Rong suddenly had an idea.


    President Liao had set a time to meet them, and it was probably now.


    "Brother Zong, rest assured."


    Cao Rong took a step forward, nodding towards Zong Bai.


    Soon, a young man walked out of the elevator.


    "Is this the person rmended by President Liao?"


    Lu Xi Guang carefully examined him.


    "Hmm?"


    Lu Xi Guang looked for a while, suddenly feeling that something was not quite right.


    Why hadn''t Cao Rong spoken up until now?


    Wasn''t he supposed to test the strength of that person?


    Zong Bai beside him also looked puzzled.


    Both of them subconsciously looked at Cao Rong.


    They saw Cao Rong standing still, and if observed closely, one would notice that cold sweat was oozing from his forehead.


    Even his legs were trembling slightly.


    "This, this, this..."


    Cao Rong pressed the sses with his right hand, feeling a mess in his mind.


    In his line of sight right now.


    All he saw were blood-red warning prompts from the sses.


    [Detected extremely dangerous individual]


    [Combat power 2,000]


    [Combat power 3,000]


    [Combat power 5,000]


    [Combat power 9,000]


    Bang.


    The ck-framed sses that Cao Rong was wearing exploded directly.


    ...


    It feels like the sayan''s thingy :D

    Evolver Association, 23rd floor.


    The shattered ''lenses'' scattered on the ground.


    Zong Bai and Lu Xi Guang couldn''t help but change their expressions.


    They knew Cao Rong''s personality wellhe feared neither heaven nor earth. Since he agreed to check out Lin Yuan''s background, he wouldn''t back down halfway unless...


    Zong Bai and Lu Xi Guang exchanged a nce.


    As evolvers with developed brain domains, various spections quickly formed in their minds. Thebat power sses were thetest research result from ck Crow Star. Although they weren''t perfect and had the possibility of malfunction or explosion, Cao Rong wouldn''t be so nervous just because of that.


    Most likely, before thebat power sses exploded, Cao Rong had seen something through them.


    "It''s better not to offend this person."


    In the blink of an eye, Zong Bai had various thoughts in his mind. He took a step forward, putting on a friendly smile. "Mr. Lin, the three of us have been waiting for you here."


    "I apologize for beingte."


    A hint of curiosity shed in Lin Yuan''s eyes.


    He casually swept his gaze over the scattered ''lenses'' on the ground. Just a moment ago, he vaguely sensed a weak ''sensing presence.'' It most likely came from these eyess fragments. However, this ''sensing presence'' was shallow at best, only providing a slight perception of Lin Yuan''s partial strength. As for his true trump cards, they were hidden within his body. Unless he went all out, it would be challenging to detect them.


    "Pleasee this way. President Liao has specially prepared delicacies from others, which are slightly beneficial to evolvers like us."


    Zong Bai spoke warmly.


    Lu Xi Guang also smiled.


    "I wonder what Cao Rong actually saw?"


    Lu Xi Guang''s gaze asionally shifted to Cao Rong, who seemed lost and disoriented. If Lin Yuan wasn''t present, he probably would have asked by now.


    At the dining table, Lin Yuan took a sip of the exquisite wine.


    "Good wine."


    Lin Yuan praised.


    Hisment about good wine wasn''t just about the taste of the wine. The wine entering his throat slowly improved his body. If an ordinary citizen drank this wine, it could probably extend their life by three to five years.


    Even though Lin Yuan''s physical body was already powerful, he could feel his blood and energy slightly boiling.


    "This fine wine is called Tianzhi Wine. It''s a treasure from Brother Zong, and if it weren''t for your arrival, Mr. Lin, we wouldn''t have the privilege of enjoying it."


    Lu Xi Guang couldn''t help but say.


    Tianzhi Wine, even for first and second-rank evolvers, was considered a luxury item. A bottle of Tianzhi Wine on the market was priced between five to ten million, and the ss Lin Yuan was drinking was worth five hundred thousand.


    Of course, the high price of Tianzhi Wine was due to its exquisite taste and the slight enhancement it provided to the physical body.


    Zong Bai had brought this bottle of Tianzhi Wine out from home to savor slowly. If it weren''t for Lin Yuan''s extraordinary status and Cao Rong''s actions just now possibly causing misunderstandings, Zong Bai wouldn''t have been willing to bring out the Tianzhi Wine.


    In the following conversation, Lin Yuan gained a general understanding of Zong Bai and the other two.


    Zong Bai followed the evolution path of a "Psychic Master." Controlling psychic power, he could kill from a distance.


    The "Psychic Master" evolution path was rtively widespread within human civilization. It essentially involved constantly developing one''s psychic power to influence reality. When cultivated to the fourth or fifth rank, a slight thought could cause natural disasters like volcanic eruptions and te tectonic movements.


    As for Lu Xi Guang, he was a bloodline evolver. All his abilities came from his own bloodline.


    Lu Xi Guang''s bloodline quality had reached the second rank.


    However, even for bloodline evolvers, the difficulty of cultivation is lower than that of evolvers following other paths. It''s not an easy task to progress from the first rank to the second rank, especially considering Lu Xi Guang''s rtively low bloodline concentration. He had been stuck at the first rank, twelfth stage, for over ten years. Interacting with Zong Bai, Lu Xi Guang, and others proved helpful for Lin Yuan.


    As they chatted face-to-face, Lin Yuan''s gaze swept over the others, asionally providing feedback with his unrivaled insight, giving Lin Yuan some enlightenment.


    Especially with Zong Bai''s "Psychic Master" evolution path, the so-called psychic power was essentially the power of the soul and mental abilities. Some of the insights gained from it could be applied to the martial path evolution.


    An hourter, after exchanging their respective citizen numbers in the virtual world, Lin Yuan proposed to take his leave. Back in Room 23, Zong Bai and the others bid farewell to Lin Yuan.


    "He''s indeed not ordinary."


    Zong Bai frowned, pondering for a moment before speaking.


    By ''not ordinary,'' he naturally referred to Lin Yuan. Initially, his cautious attitude was due to the uncertainty about Lin Yuan''s strength and Cao Rong''s behavior. However, after conversing with Lin Yuan, Zong Bai developed different thoughts.


    Setting aside other matters, Zong Bai keenly noticed that Lin Yuan had an exceptional understanding of the essence of evolution paths. When questioning about his "Psychic Master" evolution path, Lin Yuan effortlessly rified questions that had troubled Zong Bai for a long time, questions that even higher-level evolvers struggled to answer. Lin Yuan, who hadn''t fully delved into the "Psychic Master" evolution path, had a profoundprehension. Even his casual words were immensely beneficial to Zong Bai.


    "Cao Rong, what''s wrong with you? What happened just now?"


    Lu Xi Guang nodded in agreement and looked at Cao Rong beside him.


    At this moment, Cao Rong seemed unusually silent.


    "Mr. Lin''sbat power."


    Upon hearing this, Cao Rong''s face revealed a terrified expression.


    It''s indeed aboutbat power, Zong Bai and Lu Xi Guang thought.


    They had spected earlier that Cao Rong''s behavior was influenced because he saw Lin Yuan''sbat power through thebat power sses.


    "How muchbat power does Mr. Lin have?"


    Lu Xi Guang immediately asked.


    "Mybat power is only a thousand. Mr. Lin''sbat power is at least ten thousand."


    Cao Rong''s voice trembled, "No, it''s over ten thousand."


    After reaching ten thousandbat power, thebat power sses overloaded and exploded. Therefore, Cao Rong believed that Lin Yuan''sbat power was definitely more than ten thousand.


    "Over ten thousandbat power."


    Zong Bai and Lu Xi Guang took a deep breath.


    This was thebat power possessed by true second-rank evolvers, a level that most second-rank evolvers couldn''t reach.


    "Liao President didn''t say that the person invited this time was supposed to be simr in strength to us."


    Lu Xi Guang muttered to himself.


    They had abat power of a thousand, while Lin Yuan had over ten thousand. This was considered simr?


    "Thebat power sses shouldn''t make mistakes."


    Cao Rong added from the side.


    If thebat power sses had exploded before seeing Lin Yuan, it might have been a problem with the sses themselves. As a new technological product, malfunctions were possible. However, since the sses exploded after capturing Lin Yuan''s approximatebat power information, it indicated that there was an issue with the sses'' configuration, but the captured information was urate.


    "What are you thinking?"


    Seeing the two in silence, Zong Bai suddenly smiled.


    "The stronger Mr. Lin is, the better, isn''t it?"


    Zong Bai asked.


    Facing the uing arenapetition, the stronger Lin Yuan was, the closer he could get to the top rankings. Even if he didn''t make it to the top three thousand in the end, he could still receive personalpensation from President Liao.


    "It is indeed a good thing."


    Lu Xi Guang and Cao Rong exchanged nces, their eyes suddenly shining.


    They immediately realized that for them, Lin Yuan was like a lifeline. Holding onto him might boost their rankings in the arenapetition by several tens.


    Evolver Association, 30th floor.


    After leaving the 23rd floor, Lin Yuan didn''t return to the Water Moon Residential Area. Instead, he came to the 30th floor, intending to meet with President Liao.


    This visit served two purposes  getting familiar with his three teammates for the uing arenapetition and something else.


    "How did it go? Did Zong Bai and the others give you a hard time?"


    President Liao asked with a hint of concern.


    He naturally knew the personalities of Zong Bai and Cao Rong. Understanding that Lin Yuan wanted to integrate into the group, he realized it wouldn''t be so easy.


    "Not bad."


    "That pot of Tianzhi Wine is quite good."


    Lin Yuan casually replied.


    He had a good impression of this kind of fine wine. If it weren''t so expensive, he would have considered buying several cases.


    "Hmm?"


    "When did Zong Bai be so generous?"


    President Liao''s face showed surprise.


    He had long coveted that pot of Tianzhi Wine, but Zong Bai had never invited him to drink it. Yet, now, with Lin Yuan here for the first time, he brought it out?


    "President Liao, I came here this time with another matter I''d like to ask for your help with."


    Lin Yuan got straight to the point without beating around the bush.

    Chapter 55


    "Please speak."


    President Liao''s expression became serious, but he felt relieved inwardly. For him, having a request from Lin Yuan was better than Lin Yuan having no desires or requests at all.


    "I want a virtual world cabin."


    Lin Yuan stated.


    A virtual world cabin scans the entire body, perfectly simting the physical form, synchronizing it with the virtual world''s body. Lin Yuan''s strength had increased significantly after this recent journey, but his virtual world body remained at its state before the journey. While other evolvers might not find a need for a virtual world cabin, since their progress tends to be slow, Lin Yuan, with his unparalleled insight, experienced constant improvement in his abilities. Therefore, he needed the virtual world cabin to update his strength within the virtual world constantly.


    "Virtual world cabin. No problem."


    "I''ll have someone deliver it to you shortly. Still at the Water Moon Community, correct?"


    President Liao agreed without hesitation. The virtual world cabin was not a restricted item, and any evolver had the right to apply for and use one from the association.


    With the goal achieved, Lin Yuan chatted a bit more with President Liao before returning to the Water Moon Community.


    In the afternoon of the same day, Lin Yuan received the virtual world cabin. Following the instructions, he scanned his entire body and immediately connected to the virtual world.


    Inside his personal room, Lin Yuan unleashed a full-powered strike, a terrifying force spreading and piercing through a distant mountain.


    "Now this isfortable."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face. On the Cann Star, he couldn''t even release a full-powered strike without risking the lives of countless citizens. However, in the virtual world, he could ignore all consequences.


    "I''ll check the number of practitioners in the Martial Dao evolution path now."


    Lin Yuan opened his personal interface and checked under the Martial Dao evolution path for more details.


    [Evolution Path: Martial Dao] [Cultivating the Innate Part: 2,598 practitioners] [Mastering the Master Part: 0 practitioners]


    "Hmm, increased by over a thousand people."


    Lin Yuan was slightly surprised. A few days ago, the number of practitioners in the Innate Part was just over 1,200. However, he quickly spected that it might be due to the publicity effect of the Cann Evolution Ranking.


    "Now, let''s check the private messages. If someone offers a reasonable price for guidance, I''ll take on a few."


    Lin Yuan continued to browse through his private messages. Many people were interested in the Martial Dao evolution path, willing to pay a considerable sum for guidance from the founder himself. This would also help Lin Yuan understand the characteristics of this evolution path and determine if it truly suited him.


    "Ah, how many bodies is this now? Which evolution path is truly suitable for me?"


    In a spacious hall, the young man, Lon He,ined as he crawled out of a nutrient tank.


    He stood at about 1.5 meters tall, with mysterious patterns covering his forehead.


    "Young Master Lon, among the various evolution paths of human civilization, none are smooth sailing."


    A respectful old man in a ck robe standing beside him spoke.


    "I know, I know."


    Lon He''s voice sounded helpless. He nced at his ''brand new'' body, pursed his lips, and said, "Starting over again."


    Several years ago, Lon He was attracted to the ''Strange Blood'' evolution path. He purchased arge amount of precious stardust beast blood to cultivate. The ''Strange Blood'' evolution path could amodate the bloodlines of various giant beasts, and when mastered, it allowed one to easily transform into any starry sky exotic or ferocious beast they had encountered.


    This evolution path was exceptionally powerful, especially in the early stages. However, it came with risks. There was mutual rejection between the blood of different ferocious beasts. Any slight negligence could lead to the body exploding.


    Lon He died in such a manner because of this evolution path.


    However, Lon He constantly synchronized his consciousness in the cloud and had prepared in advance, replicating a body that had not undergone cultivation.


    After exploding and dying, his consciousness transferred into the body, perfectly avoiding true death. Although he survived, the cost was enormous. The various investments made in cultivating the ''Strange Blood'' evolution path were all in vain. However, Lon He didn''t care about this. His father held a high position, and money was not an issue.


    "Just pick an evolution path this time within the range that does not relies on external objects and forces."


    A gentle female voice entered his ears.


    Lon He knew this was his mother reminding him.


    "Alright."


    Lon He sighed. He wasn''t suitable for his parents'' chosen evolution path, so he had to find one that suited him from the others.


    But after trying more than ten times in a row, he died in the middle of cultivation each time.


    "This time, I''ll just randomly pick one."


    Lon He was a bit resigned, but still followed his mother''s instructions and skipped those evolution paths that relied on external forces or objects.


    Lon He casually browsed through them.


    "Hmm, the potential of this evolution path is unexpectedly at the sixth rank?"


    Lon He''s gaze suddenly stopped as he looked at an evolution path named ''Martial Dao.''


    "The currently revealed parts are only the first and second ranks, yet the theoretical potential reaches the sixth rank?"


    Lon He was amazed. It wasn''t unusual for a five-rank evolution path to have theoretical potential up to the sixth rank, as the difference wasn''t significant. However, for a four-rank evolution path to have theoretical potential up to the sixth rank was somewhat unbelievable. What surprised Lon He even more was that the ''Martial Dao'' evolution path, which he was looking at, only had the first and second ranks revealed, yet its theoretical potential reached the sixth rank.


    "My father said that the Goddess of Wisdom doesn''t lie."


    "Let''s take a look at this evolution path."


    Lon He bought both the first and second ranks of the Martial Dao evolution path and began reading them carefully.


    "Mmm."


    Lon He looked serious.


    He couldn''t understand.


    "I''ll ask the founder of this evolution path to give me some guidance."


    After thinking for a while, Lon He, feeling that the Martial Dao evolution path might suit him, decided to pay a reward to the founder for guidance.


    "Let''s make it one hundred million."


    Lon He came up with a figure. If someone was guiding him, the price wouldn''t be low. One hundred million should be about right.


    "The founder of this path is named ''Yuan''?"


    Lon He checked the detailed information of the Martial Dao evolution path and directly sent his requirements and reward through private messages.


    Water Moon Community.


    Lin Yuan was browsing through private messages when a new message arrived.


    "I''m Lon He. I hope to receive guidance on the Martial Dao evolution path and am willing to pay one hundred million civilization credits."


    "How much?"


    Lin Yuan read through it again.


    One hundred million civilization credits?


    Lin Yuan blinked.


    He could alsoe up with one hundred million civilization credits. For other entering-rank evolvers, it might be a struggle, but they could still manage to scrape together that much money.


    However.


    This one hundred million civilization credits were only for an hour of guidance.


    It seemed a bit extravagant.


    "Agree."


    Lin Yuan immediately chose to agree.


    Why not take free money?


    Just as Lin Yuan agreed, another request came from the virtual world.


    [Lon He invites you to visit his personal space. Do you agree?]


    "Agree."


    Lin Yuan agreed once again. Out of caution, before heading there, he adjusted his appearance. In the next moment, the surrounding space changed, and Lin Yuan found himself in a vast golden hall.


    In the center of the hall, on a throne, sat a figure draped in a purple robe. This figure was only one meter and five centimeters tall, with a forehead covered in mysterious patterns.


    Upon seeing Lin Yuan appear, Lon He immediately descended from the throne. He then slightly bowed to Lin Yuan and said, "Greetings, Teacher Yuan."


    Derived from the teachings of his parents, Lon He respected any "teacher" who pioneered an evolution path.

 Chapter 56

    Chapter 56


    "Hello."


    Lin Yuan smiled and looked at the other person with curiosity. Very little of Lon He''s personal information was revealed. Besides his name, only his ce of residence was known.


    "Thunder Rain Star Field?" (Or Thunderstorm)


    This is a highly distant star field from the Red Kun Star Field. Lin Yuan knows little about it. However, offering one hundred million civilization coins for just an hour of guidance, Lon He is undoubtedly wealthy.


    "How does Master Yuan n to guide?"


    Lon He asked.


    "You''ve paid, so you call the shots," Lin Yuan said very politely. One hundred million for an hour means nearly thirty thousand civilization coins per second. Lin Yuan received tens of thousands of civilization coins with just the sentence he said a moment ago.


    "Then let''s have a battle."


    "Father said that powerful evolution paths surely have excellentbat capabilities."


    Lon He took a few steps back, and his gaze gradually became sharp.


    "Master Yuan, be careful. Although this body hasn''t been specifically cultivated, it is naturally powerful and not inferior to most Second Rank Evolvers."


    Lon He reminded.


    "Come on," Lin Yuan said with a calm gaze.


    Lon He didn''t give him a dangerous feeling.


    Swoosh.


    Lon He''s figure disappeared.


    In the next moment, he appeared by Lin Yuan''s side and threw a punch.


    "So fast."


    Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised. He could see that this was pure physical speed, without using any other abilities.


    Facing the punch from Lon He, Lin Yuan lifted his right hand to block it, and then activated the Tao of Tai Chi, borrowing all the force from the punch and directly mming it onto Lon He.


    Bang.


    Lon He''s figure flew backward andnded fiercely dozens of meters away. He immediately got up from the ground and stared at Lin Yuan with widened eyes.


    "What kind of technique is this? Why does it feel so soft? Why do I feel like the punch I just threw ended up on my own body?"


    Lon He was somewhat annoyed. If he had been absolutely crushed by force, he could ept it. However, the feeling of just falling short made Lon He feel like he could have won.


    "Come again."


    Lon He''s figure disappeared once more.


    Lin Yuan smiled faintly. The Tao of Tai Chi excels at borrowing force to strike back. Lon He, who only knows how to use strength and speed without any skill, is easily countered by the Tao of Tai Chi.


    Although "one force can ovee ten," Lon He is far from reaching that level at this moment.


    "Ah! Ah! Ah!"


    Lon He roared loudly, and his speed soared again. The mysterious patterns on his forehead faintly lit up. (Ah! Ah! Ah! Kimochii! :-:)


    This time, Lon He became smarter and didn''t immediately attack Lin Yuan. Instead, he approached from behind Lin Yuan,pletely in the blind spot of his vision, before striking.


    Bang.


    As expected, without any surprises.


    Lon He flew backward once again.


    "I don''t believe it."


    With a swift motion, Lon He stood up. If this were in the real world, Lon He''s body would have been severely damaged by now. However, this is a virtual world, and with just a thought, his body is restored to its original state.


    Chirp.


    Lon He rushed to Lin Yuan, threw a punch at his shoulder, but for some reason, Lon He felt as if there was a vortex within Lin Yuan''s body. All external forces werepletely absorbed into the vortex and returned unchanged.


    Bang.


    Lon He crashed a hundred meters away.


    "Don''t rely only on strength," Lin Yuan reminded.


    In a normal fight, an opponent like Lon He wouldn''t even be able to enter Lin Yuan''s range. However, since Lon He spent a considerable amount of money to consult Lin Yuan, it was not possible to treat him like an ordinary opponent. Lin Yuan tried to guide him, allowing him to experience the ''vortex'' of the Tao of Tai Chi up close.


    To make Lon He have a more profound understanding, Lin Yuan deliberately suppressed his strength to the First Rank level.


    Boom.


    Boom.


    Boom.


    Time after time, each time Lon He was sent flying, spitting blood.


    This made Lon He feel exceptionally frustrated.


    Why does it always fall just short?


    Just a little bit more.


    Finally.


    "Stop."


    "No more, no more."


    Lon He sat on the ground.


    Then, he had the AI assistant analyze the footage of their recent battle.


    "Are you saying Master Yuan used only First Rank strength throughout?"


    Through the AI assistant''s analysis, Lon He was suddenly astonished. He was well aware that his body''s prototype, derived from an extremely rare and special race deep in the universe, was exchanged by his father at a great cost. With this special race''s replicated body, his potential was immense, and his talent was terrifying, reaching the level of a Second Rank Evolver without any formal cultivation.


    Yet, Master Yuan used only First Rank strength to hang him up and beat him?


    "Master Yuan, is this the path of martial arts evolution?"


    Lon He immediately ran to Lin Yuan.


    "Yes."


    "This is the Tao of Tai Chi," Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    "The Tao of Tai Chi is not a path of strength; it leans more toward the grand trend."


    Lin Yuan patiently exined.


    "Understood."


    Lon He seemed to understand vaguely.


    "In that case, I will infuse a trace of Tai Chi power into your body. It canst for a month, and you can ponder this Tai Chi power in your daily life, which will be beneficial for practicing the Tao of Tai Chi."


    Lin Yuan smiled. This method is somewhat simr to sensing the sun and moon within the True Martial Sword.


    However, with Lin Yuan''s current strength, it is challenging for Tai Chi power to exist outside the body for an extended period. Still, it is sufficient for Lon He.


    "Good."


    Lon He nodded.


    At this moment, he developed a strong interest in the path of martial arts evolution.


    He, Lon He, also wanted to be as cool as Lin Yuan, being able to send enemies flying with ease while standing still.


    So cool.


    Seeing that Lon He agreed, Lin Yuan ced his right hand on Lon He''s shoulder.


    A strand of Tai Chi power, abination of Yin and Yang forces, slowly entered Lon He''s body.


    As Tai Chi power entered Lon He''s body, Lin Yuan''s perception naturally extended into it.


    "What is this?"


    Lin Yuan''s pupils slightly contracted.


    Lon He''s body, while simr to a normal human body, is fundamentally different.


    Lin Yuan sensed that countless blood vessels in the body intertwined, forming a special pattern. Deep within the organs, at the microscopic level of cellyers, countless runes were flowing.


    All of this formed a perfect bnce, tightly bound within one body.


    "Perfect."


    "Truly perfect."


    Lin Yuan couldn''t help but be immersed.


    [Your insight is extraordinary. Watching an unknown body, you gain some understanding.]


    Countless spiritual lights flowed into Lin Yuan''s mind as he began toprehend Lon He''s unique physique.


    Lin Yuan had a feeling that once he thoroughly understood this body, he could enhance the essence of his own physical body. This had great significance for Lin Yuan.


    On a closer note, improving the physique in the main world would boost his basic strength and speed in the future. On a broader scale, every time Lin Yuan''s consciousness descended into a body during his interdimensional travels, he could benefit from this.


    In the second interdimensional travel, if Lin Yuan couldprehend the essence of such a body, it would be impossible for him to be thrown into the wilderness and encounter a life-threatening situation shortly after birth.


    With this body as a prototype, Lin Yuan would only need a few hours toplete the transformation of a baby''s body. At that time, he might not be as strong as an adult, but at least he wouldn''t be much weaker.


    "Master Yuan, are you okay?"


    Seeing that Lin Yuan hadn''t removed his right hand from Lon He''s shoulder for a long time, Lon He became somewhat puzzled.


    "I''m fine. Your physique is somewhat special. It needs some time."


    Lin Yuan casually found a reason and looked at Lon He''s body, his eyes filled with excitement.


    This made Lon He a bit nervous, but considering Lin Yuan''s strength in beating him just now, he stood obediently in ce.


    Half an hourter, Lin Yuan reluctantly withdrew his hand.


    "Done."


    Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.


    Although he hadn''tpletely understood Lon He''s physique, Lin Yuan had memorized all the structures of the body. The rest was to go back and continueprehending.


    "Good. Thank you, Master Yuan."


    Lon He also felt the trace of ''Tai Chi power'' in his body.


    "The time is up. If I have any questions in the future, I will still consult Master Yuan."


    Lon He felt that he had gained a lot. Little did he know that Lin Yuan had seen through everything, including his underwear.


    Water Moon Community.


    Residence No. 32.


    Underground training ground.


    Lin Yuan severed his connection to the virtual world. Lon He''s various mysteries within his body still lingered in Lin Yuan''s mind.


    "This is truly... truly heaven-defying."


    Lin Yuan couldn''t help but marvel. Using the Gate to traverse two worlds, he spent a hundred years in cultivation, reaching the Second Rank. In contrast, this body, born not long ago, could effortlessly grow to the Second Rank.


    It was simply abnormal.


    "This body probably isn''t a pure human body."


    Lin Yuan spected, during hisprehension, he could vaguely sense the ancient and vast meaning contained within.


    "Regardless."


    "As long as Iprehend it, it''s mine."


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes and continued toprehend.


    In the following time, Lin Yuan allocated some of his energy forprehending the Third Rank specifically for understanding the mysteries of this body. He aimed topletelyprehend this body''s essence before the third interdimensional travel. This way, even if his consciousnessnded in a baby''s body, he wouldn''t be as defenseless as during thest interdimensional travel.


    Two months passed in the blink of an eye.


    During this time, Lon He sought Lin Yuan''s guidance twice, paying a total of two hundred million.


    Lin Yuan took the opportunity to observe Lon He''s body carefully, getting closer toprehending the essence of this body.


    One day, Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, concluding today''s closed-door cultivation.


    Because.


    The arenapetition in Cann Star had begun.

 Chapter 57

    Chapter 57


    The arena matches are not only popr on Cann Star but are also one of the most heated and widely observed events across the entire Universe Human Alliance.


    Only evolvers under the age of one hundred can participate in the arena matches, making them the future of the Universe Human Alliance, and they naturally carry a certain "celebrity" effect.


    In the interster era, citizens are no longer interested in those with nobat power. Evolvers with great strength be the focus of attention.


    In the virtual world of Cann Star, there is a massive arena simr to the ancient Roman Colosseum. It is surrounded by densely packed seats, numbering in the hundreds of thousands.


    At the top of the arena, on a high tform, President Liao, Lin Yuan, and others appeared.


    "This is the arena in Dongning City. If Dongning City is drawn in the uing arena matches, it will be held here," President Liao says, addressing Lin Yuan, while Zong Bai, Cao Rong, and others, having participated in multiple arena matches, are already familiar with the setup.


    "Understood," Lin Yuan nods as he gazes down at the arena.


    "Don''t be too nervous. Just y normally, and don''t put too much pressure on yourselves," President Liao consoles them. Putting too much pressure before the arena matches can be counterproductive.


    "President Liao, I wonder who our opponents from Dongning City are this time. Could you arrange someone to predict it?" asks Lu Xiguang in a low voice, causing the interest of Cao Rong and Zong Bai to peak.


    Knowing the opponent in advance would provide a significant advantage. Since most evolution paths have strengths and weaknesses, being able to prepare in advance gives a substantial tactical advantage.


    "How can we predict with so many cities in the eastern continent?" President Liao rolls his eyes. While predicting specific opponents is impossible, the general range can be determined.


    The initial opponents in the arena matches are selected based on past performances. In simple terms, the strength of Dongning City''s opponent shouldn''t be much higher.


    "Alright, go and prepare. There are still two hours left before the arena matches begin, and the opponents will be announced then," President Liao says.


    The start of the arena matches is a grand event throughout Cann Star. Even though the majority of citizens cannot enter the virtual world, they can watch the matches through broadcasts.


    "Wow, Mom, Dad,e quickly and watch the arena matches!" Lin Yi sits on the sofa, surrounded by four holographic screens disying the arena scenes.


    "Okay, okay, we''reing," Lin Shoucheng and his wife walk over with smiles on their faces. They are both evolvers and have the right to enter the virtual world. However, since Lin Yi isn''t an evolver, they can''t abandon her to enjoy the virtual world alone.


    "Where''s my brother?" Lin Yi keeps looking around.


    Lin Yuan is also participating in the arena matches, representing Dongning City. Lin Shoucheng and his wife are naturally aware of this.


    "Will he appear only after it starts?"


    Lin Qiong smiled.


    "I hope my brother does well."


    Lin Yi clenched her fist.


    "In this arena match, I must show my father that I''m not much weaker than Lin Yuan."


    In the virtual world, in the arena area, Lin Yan''s figure appeared, secretly making a decision.


    A year ago, at the Lin family banquet, his father, Lin Hao, intended to give Lin Yuan the opportunity to undergo cultivation. However, because he spoke a few more words, it created an awkward atmosphere. The presence of several dignitaries made Lin Hao embarrassed.


    Lin Hao, holding a grudge against Lin Yan, scolded and even personally beat him that night after returning from the family banquet. With this experience, Lin Yan finally entered the ranks of evolvers several monthster.


    Today, although he has not advanced to the next stage, he has qualified to participate in the arena matches.


    The target audience of the arena matches is all evolvers. City representatives face each other, and so do independent evolvers.


    Although Lin Hao knows that his strength is still far from that of Lin Yuan, the reason President Liao personally attended the family banquet has been investigated by his father. Now Lin Yan at least has the possibility of looking up to Lin Yuan. Since he can look up, he can surpass in the future.


    "The arena match has started?"


    "Hurry, go watch."


    "I don''t know what achievements Dongning City can make in this arena match."


    "Hahaha, just don''t finish at the bottom like thest time."


    The citizens of Dongning City opened the real-time broadcast and watched attentively.


    In the virtual world of Cann Star, in the arena area:


    "It''s over, it''s over. The opponent for Dongning City this time is actually Zijing City."


    Cao Rong, who learned about the opponent as the arena match officially began, felt a sudden panic.


    Beside him, Lu Xiguang was also the same. Zijing City was the opponent they least wanted to face among the predicted opponents.


    In thest arena match, Dongning City was ranked 9,985, while Zijing City was 7,652, a difference of more than two thousand ces. It is said that the strongest evolver in Zijing City followed the "Giant" evolution path.


    Once fully unleashed, his body could expand to a height of five meters. Although his strength was also at the first rank and twelfth stage, his truebat power was close to the second rank.


    Dealing with such an evolver was not easy, especially since the Giant evolution path''s evolvers typically had a weakness in speed. However, running away on the arena was challenging.


    The virtual world''s authorities would shrink the arena space to prevent evolvers from deliberately prolonging the match. In thest arena match, Zijing City achieved a rank of over 7,000, thanks to this Giant-evolver.


    "Giant" Lu Xiguang sighed. This evolution path required innate divine power and a physique stronger than ordinary evolvers to practice.


    "It is indeed troublesome" Zong Bai, who had been silent, furrowed his brows. He seemed to think of something, and his brows slightly rxed. "But don''t panic; we still have Mr. Lin."

 Chapter 58

    Chapter 58


    The intercity arenapetition is divided into individual and team matches.


    The individual matches are easy to understand.


    As for the team matches, it''s a 4v4 battle between four evolvers and four evolvers.


    Therefore, team matches test the coordination among members.


    At the arena in Dongning City, the host Sun Bin appears.


    As a well-known local host, Sun Bin can be considered a ''regr'' at various arenapetitions.


    His ability to do soes from Sun Bin''s own skills


    Having a deep understanding of many evolutionary paths, he can oftenment on the situation and provide his judgment in the first instance.


    Coupled with a humorous and not stiffnguage, his position as the arena host is naturally unshakable.


    Standing next to Sun Bin is a young woman, also a host of the arenapetition.


    Throughout the history of the arenapetitions in Dongning City, hosts have always been a pair, one male and one female.


    This female host is evidentlymenting on the arenapetition for the first time, with a slightly nervous expression.


    "Today is the day the arenapetition begins. In Dongning City, we will face opponents from other cities."


    "I believe that our representatives, the evolvers of Dongning City, will surely surpass previous records in this arenapetition."


    Sun Bin''s tone is enthusiastic; regardless of whether they can surpass the past, the momentum must not becking.


    "Alright, let me introduce them."


    "Our representatives from Dongning City, first is Zong Bai, a familiar face to everyone, with the strength of Rank 1 Stage 12. I believe Zong Bai is very close to Rank 2 by now."


    "The second is Cao Rong."


    "The third is Lu Xiguang."


    "The fourth."


    Sun Bin paused intentionally at this point, then continued, "The fourth representative is participating in the arenapetition for the first time. However, since they can stand here, they surely have extraordinary qualities."


    Next, host Sun Bin introduced the four representatives of the opponent, Zijing City.


    Finally, the host began to summarize.


    "The opponents are strong. Everyone is familiar with the past records of Zijing City. However, I believe in the four yers from Dongning City."


    Sun Bin said loudly, "Now, let the arenapetition begin."


    "Go, big brother." Lin Yi clenched her small fist to cheer for Lin Yuan.


    "I see that everyone''s emotions are not that great. They say Dongning City is destined to lose, Zijing City is too strong, and there''s even a ''neer'' added. Isn''t this mocking our little Yuan at home?"


    Mother Lin Qiong looked at the continuously floating ''bulletments'' and couldn''t help but say.


    "Zijing City''s strength is indeed very strong, especially that ''giant'' captain."


    Father Lin Shoucheng belongs to the ''old audience,'' objectivelymenting, "Looking at the records of previouspetitions, the hope of Dongning City winning is very small, almost negligible."


    After Lin Shoucheng finished speaking, seeing Lin Qiong frowning, he hurriedly exined, "But this has nothing to do with little Yuan."


    "Even if little Yuan doesn''t y, with the configuration of Dongning City in previous arenapetitions, they can''t win. These people nowadays just like to shift me. Our little Yuan hasn''t done anything, but he''s been given a hat."


    "Can''t you say something good about little Yuan?" Lin Qiong red at Lin Shoucheng, "I have confidence in little Yuan."


    Lin Shoucheng immediately smiled and said, "Yes, I also have confidence in our little Yuan. With little Yuan, Dongning City will surely win."


    Lin Shoucheng looked ttering.


    In the central arena, Lin Yuan, Zong Bai, and the other four appeared on one side.


    "Mr. Lin, how do we y now?"


    Zong Bai immediately asked in a low voice.


    He knew very well that, normally speaking, they had no chance of winning against the four from Zijing City.


    Lin Yuan is their only opportunity.


    Therefore, Zong Bai and the other three decided without hesitation to focus on Lin Yuan.


    Lu Xiguang and Cao Rong also closely watched Lin Yuan.


    "How do we y?"


    Lin Yuan pondered for a moment.


    "You guys go first."


    "Directly crush them head-on."


    Lin Yuan spoke.


    "Really?"


    Zong Bai responded without hesitation.


    Immediately, he realized.


    Are we going first?


    Zong Bai nced at the four evolvers from Zijing City on the opposite side.


    Especially the robust figure standing in the center, towering at a height of two meters.


    He couldn''t help but swallow saliva.


    If Lin Yuan doesn''t join, and they go first, let alone crushing them head-on, they might be the ones getting crushed.


    Lu Xiguang and Cao Rong also wore puzzled expressions.


    Evolvers on the ''giant'' evolutionary path excel at head-on collisions.


    Should they go directly at them? Isn''t that a case of attacking the strong head-on?


    "Do as I say."


    Lin Yuan spoke calmly.


    "Alright."


    Zong Bai gritted his teeth.


    After all, this is a virtual world; even if they die here, their real bodies won''t be affected.


    At worst, they''ll lose this arena match. After learning that their opponents were from Zijing City, Zong Bai didn''t have much hope to begin with.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Zong Bai, Lu Xiguang, and Cao Rong charged directly at the four evolvers from Zijing City.


    At the same time, within Lin Yuan''s body, the forces of Yin and Yang formed Tai Chi, and the rotating Yin and Yang fish transformed into invisible forces, enveloping in all directions.


    The Tai Chi Field.


    This was an ability Lin Yuan developed when incorporating the original force into the Dao of Tai Chi.


    Within the Tai Chi Field, he could easily suppress opponents.


    Lin Yuan could also use the power of the field to observe everything about his opponents up close.


    On the other side, the four evolvers from Zijing City were also observing Lin Yuan and his team.


    When they saw Zong Bai and the others charging towards them, an expression of astonishment appeared on their faces.


    "Seeking death."


    The leader among them, with a robust figure, sneered. If Zong Bai and the others relied on speed, he would be somewhat troubled, but charging directly?


    "Crush them together with me."


    The robust figure''s body suddenly surged, growing until it reached five meters in height. He tookrge steps towards Zong Bai and the others.


    Behind him, the other three evolvers from Zijing City also wore smiles on their faces.


    In their eyes, this should be the evolvers from Dongning City giving up, a suicidal charge.


    "Let''s see what method the yers from Dongning City will use to deal with the four evolvers from Zijing City."


    "This... My goodness, Zong Bai, Cao Rong, and the others are actually taking the lead, charging directly at the opponents?"


    "What are they doing?"


    Even the host Sun Bin, upon witnessing this scene, was astonished.


    He hadmented on countless arena matches, and he had never seen this style of y.


    Facing an evolver on the ''giant'' path, who excelled at frontal collisions, there was indeed a strategy of head-on crushing.


    But that was a choice made by evolvers who were also skilled in frontal collisions.


    Currently, neither Zong Bai nor Lu Xiguang nor Cao Rong were evolvers specialized in head-on collisions.


    As for the neer ''Lin Yuan,'' he was hiding in the back without making a move.


    "It seems that our yers from Dongning City think they can''t win and intend to end this match in the most spectacr way."


    Host Sun Bin nodded slightly, thinking it was not bad.


    At least the momentum was there, better than running away frantically and ending up spectacrly crushed by the ''giant.''


    "No, this is not right."


    Host Sun Bin looked at the arena and thought it was going to be a one-sided situation, but when the two sides made contact, he widened his eyes suddenly.


    Originally, Zong Bai and the others, who should have been torn apart by the ''giant'' from Zijing City, strangely suffered no injuries.


    Instead, the four evolvers from Zijing City suddenly seemed a bit awkward.


    They were unexpectedly being pressed and attacked by the former.


    How could this be?


    On the arena, Zong Bai, Cao Rong, and the others were utterly confused.


    In closebat, they sensed that the four opponents from Zijing City had drastically decreased in speed and strength.


    Especially the opponent on the ''giant'' path. Despite a full-force strike, Zong Bai easily evaded it.


    "What''s going on?"


    Zong Bai could see that the opponents were equally shocked, even a bit frustrated.


    Clearly, they didn''t understand why this was happening.


    "It''s Mr. Lin."


    In the blink of an eye, the idea shed in Zong Bai''s mind.


    As an evolver, his brain might not be exceptionally intelligent, but it certainly wasn''t foolish. Combining Lin Yuan''s instruction for them to go directly and the current performance of the four opponents, Zong Bai first ruled out the possibility of their strength increasing.


    That left only Lin Yuan as the reason.


    "Is Mr. Lin suppressing them? Is this the power of his domain?"


    Zong Bai spected in his mind.


    The power of the domain involves some form of control over space within a certain range. Only a few special evolutionary paths touch upon this ability, typically emerging in the second or third stages.


    [Your insight is unrivaled, closely observing the Giant evolutionary path, continuously perfecting the Martial Way evolutionary path.]


    [Your insight is unrivaled, closely observing the Fire evolutionary path, continuously perfecting the Martial Way evolutionary path.]


    [Your insight is unrivaled, closely observing the Psychic Master evolutionary path, continuously perfecting the Martial Way evolutionary path.]


    [Your insight is unrivaled, closely observing the Bloodline evolutionary path, continuously perfecting the Martial Way evolutionary path.]


    Through the Tai Chi Field, it was equivalent to close contact with the four evolvers from Zijing City. This helped Lin Yuan understand the strengths and weaknesses of their evolutionary paths in much greater detail than merely watching videos.


    For example, Lin Yuan deliberately increased the power of the field, pressing against the chest of the giant evolver, triggering various reactions from him and the others.


    Under the extraordinary insight, these reactions provided Lin Yuan with abundant inspiration.


    Additionally, Zong Bai and the others constantly attacking caused various reactions from the four opponents, all of which fell into Lin Yuan''s perception.


    In no time, the level of perfection in Lin Yuan''s Martial Way evolutionary path was rapidly increasing.

 Chapter 59

    Chapter 59


    "This is a domain."


    "Domain power."


    "Only Rank Four and Rank Five evolvers can master domain power."


    Host Sun Bin seemed to realize something, his expression excitedly dering.


    Domain power, theoretically, can only be mastered by Rank Four or Rank Five evolvers. However, there are no absolutes, as certain special evolutionary paths and the evolver''s fortuitous encounters can allow them to grasp domain power in advance.


    Of course, these prematurely acquired domain powers are at an initial stage and cannot bepared to the true domain powers of Rank Four or Rank Five evolvers. Even so, within Rank One, Rank Two, and Rank Three evolvers, possessing domain power in advance is akin to cheating.


    Through the domain, one can perceive everything in advance and then implement suppression, essentially sweeping through evolvers of the same level.


    "I didn''t expect that in this edition of the Dong Ning City Arena, there would be an evolver who has mastered the domain."


    Host Sun Bin was full of emotion.


    His gaze fell on Lin Yuan, who stood in the back and seemingly had never joined the battlefield. At this moment, he could also see that this "neer," Lin Yuan, was the evolver who had mastered the domain.


    The use of the domain consumes a significant amount of energy, and Zong Bai and the others are currently fighting with all their might, making it impossible for them to use the domain.


    Only Lin Yuan, who has been in the background from the beginning, has the ability to unleash the domain.


    At the same time, the citizens watching the arena were equally stunned, then erupted in excitement.


    "So powerful! With his own strength, he is simultaneously suppressing the four evolvers from Zijing City, forcing them to only disy ten to twenty percent of their true strength. This is amazing."


    An evolver eximed softly, "Who is this ''neer''? Which bigshot''s offspring from Dong Ning City is he?"


    "Yeah, yeah! Brother is amazing!"


    Although Lin Yi couldn''t understand, upon hearing the host''s praise for Lin Yuan, she immediately cheered.


    "Domain?"


    "Could our son really have the ability to defeat Zijing City?"


    Lin Shoucheng murmured to himself. He had only ttered his wife just now and hadn''t expected it to be a reality.


    On the arena, the battle continued.


    The four evolvers from Zijing City were suffering under suppression.


    They also realized that all of this was because of Lin Yuan.


    However, they had no way to deal with it.


    Under the ubiquitous Tai Chi Field suppression, every step they took became extremely difficult.


    One evolver, skilled in speed, wanted to get close to Lin Yuan. However, the closer he got, the greater the pressure he faced, almost kneeling on the ground in the end.


    "What''s going on?"


    The captain of the Giant team panted heavily.


    He vaguely sensed that the pervasive domain power could instantly surpass his endurance limits if Lin Yuan wished. But why hadn''t they beenpletely defeated yet and were instead being dragged on?


    "Is he ying with us?"


    The Giant captain felt extremely frustrated.


    Yet, he didn''t know what to do.


    Surrender voluntarily?


    He couldn''t bring himself to do that.


    Time passed slowly.


    In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour had passed.


    The arena''s size was gradually shrinking.


    The rule of the arena match was to reduce the arena size after half an hour to prevent evolvers proficient in speed from intentionally dying and avoiding directbat.


    "Almost there."


    Lin Yuan''s mind slightly moved, slightly intensifying the Tai Chi Field.


    Immediately, the four evolvers from Zijing City, facing the attacks from Zong Bai and the others, began to die one after another.


    With Lin Yuan''s strength, the Tai Chi Field could crush opponents with just a single thought.


    However, doing so would leave no time toprehend the evolutionary paths practiced by the opponents.


    That''s why it had been dragged until now.


    "This arena match is really worth participating in."


    Lin Yuan sighed lightly.


    Carefully observing everything on the four evolvers during this match was very helpful for Lin Yuan''s Martial Way evolutionary path.


    The Martial Way evolutionary path was apletely new path created by Lin Yuan.


    Lin Yuan stood at the peak, at the limit, and whaty ahead was a nk space.


    Lin Yuan needed to gradually explore and create in this space. During this period, he had to absorb various strengths and weaknesses from other evolutionary paths, integrating them and bringing forth new ideas. This couldn''t be achieved by merely closing oneself off.


    Of course, with his unrivaled insight, even if he closed himself off, he believed he could gradually perfect his Martial Way evolutionary path. However, the time required would certainly be much longer than it is now, and the subsequent development of the Martial Way might not be asprehensive without incorporating the strengths of numerous other evolutionary paths.


    "We won?"


    Even though they had expected it, Zong Bai and the others felt like they were dreaming at this moment. They had actually defeated opponents they could never have defeated before.


    After a moment of rxation, Zong Bai, Cao Rong, and the others respectfully approached Lin Yuan.


    They knew clearly that their victory this time was entirely thanks to Lin Yuan. Without him, with their strength alone, they would have been crushed by the Giant team captain.


    "In this tournament, no matter how far we advance and whatever rewards we obtain, I''ll give them all to Mr. Lin."


    Zong Bai thought for a moment before speaking. Being content is essential, especially considering the strength Lin Yuan had just disyed. This time, they had a good chance of reaching the top 5,000 or even the top 3,000, 2,000, and Zong Bai felt he wasn''t deserving of the official rewards.


    "I agree."


    Cao Rong and Lu Xiguang exchanged nces and said the same.


    In the following two months, the arena tournament continued. Besides the teampetition, Lin Yuan also participated in the individual matches.


    As for the results, he would ''narrowly win'' in each match. Lin Yuan could undoubtedly finish off opponents quickly, but that would defeat the purpose of participating in the arena tournament. The goal was to extend the duration of each battle, carefullyprehend each evolver''s path, and then perfect his own Martial Way by taking the essence and discarding the dross.


    Most evolvers participating in the arena tournament were quite powerful, especially as they progressed further. Every evolver could be considered a genius.


    The top 500 evolvers were mostly at the peak of Rank Two, and asionally, there would be a few Rank Three evolvers.


    Soon, the Dong Ning City team''s ranking in the teampetition entered the top one hundred on the Vast Wave Star. In a match against opponents from the central continent, they lost.


    The opponents were from one of the most prosperous cities in the central continent, Blue Moon City. Among their four yers, three were at the peak of Rank Two, and one was at Rank Three. Moreover, they practiced extremely powerful evolutionary paths.


    Especially the Rank Three evolver who cultivated the Dream Realm evolutionary path. So, at the beginning of the match, Zong Bai and the others hadn''t reacted before being eliminated by the gaze of the Dream Realm evolver, falling into a deep-level dream and disqualified.


    Only Lin Yuan remained.


    Nevertheless, even in this situation, Lin Yuan, withstood the frenzied attacks from the four evolvers for a full half-hour, relying on the Tao of Tai Chi.


    In the end, when the arena size shrank, Lin Yuan still held on. If it weren''t for the rules of the teampetition stating that if a clear winner wasn''t determined, the number of remaining evolvers on the field would be used as a basis for judgment, Lin Yuan could have persisted.


    On the Blue Moon City side, there were four remaining evolvers.


    On the Dong Ning City side, only Lin Yuan was left.


    Therefore, Blue Moon City won.


    "I didn''t expect Dong Ning City to actually enter the top one hundred globally."


    President Liao seemed to be in a dream. This was a ranking he hadn''t dared to think about before.


    Not only him, even if all the past presidents of the Evolver Association were gathered together, they couldn''t have dreamed of entering such a rank.


    "All of this is because of Mr. Lin."


    "Relying solely on Lin Yuan..."


    Zong Bai and the others also spoke up.


    If it were only the top 3,000 or 2,000, he might have dared to boast a bit in front of President Liao. But breaking into the top 100 was just too intimidating. The top 100 in the global arena tournament, every evolver, even if they were just support-type evolvers, could easily sweep all the evolvers in Dong Ning City. Zong Bai, despite having a thick skin, dared not take credit for this achievement.


    "It''s Mr. Lin."


    President Liao nodded with satisfaction. He wasn''t a fool; he personally watched the match and naturally noticed that Lin Yuan was the one driving the storm.


    Zong Bai and the others were mere essories.


    "How is Mr. Lin now?"


    President Liao asked with concern.


    Since losing to the four evolvers from Blue Moon City, Lin Yuan had left the virtual universe.


    "Mr. Lin said he wants to seclude himself for a while."


    Zong Bai replied truthfully. Lin Yuan had indeed said something along those lines before leaving.


    "I see, Mr. Lin must be exhausted."


    President Liao nodded. After all, the opponents from Blue Moon City were too powerful, especially the rare evolver who followed the Dream Realm evolutionary path, reaching the Rank Three level. In the real world, a full-force attack from such an evolver could put a small city, with nearly a million residents, into a simultaneous sleep. Dealing with such a terrifying opponent did require a lot of mental and physical effort.


    Water Moon Residential Area.


    Residence number 32.


    Underground training ground.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    After dozens of arena matches and encountering hundreds and thousands of different evolvers, the strengths and weaknesses of countless evolutionary paths surged in his mind. Simultaneously, with his unrivaled insight, heprehended and integrated them.


    At some point, Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.


    The interweaving Yin-Yang Tai Chi pattern shed deep in his pupils.


    "Rank Three."


    Lin Yuan let out a breath.


    The aura within his body began to change rapidly.


    Finally, the Martial Way evolutionary path reached Rank Three.

 Chapter 60

    Chapter 60


    "Is this the Third Rank?"


    Feeling the rapid transformation of his body, a smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    After the second transmigration, Lin Yuan had already reached the peak of the Second Rank.


    Later, heprehended the original force evolution path and almost stepped into the Third Rank.


    Even so, Lin Yuan was still not in the Third Rank.


    For other evolvers at the peak of the Second Rank, there were clear indications on how to advance to the Third Rank. Their own evolution paths provided detailed guidance: how to reach the conditions, and what to do after reaching the conditions. However, as the pioneer of the evolution path, everything was unknown to Lin Yuan.


    Even with his unparalleled insight, if he hadn''t engaged in battles with numerous evolvers in recent months, gaining close-range insights into various evolution paths, Lin Yuan''s advancement to the Third Rank would have been significantly dyed.


    "Third Rank evolvers are also called ''City-Destroying Level.'' With a full-force strike, they can pierce through almost half of a city."


    "The Third Rank of my martial evolution path, with the Tai Chi field covering several miles, a mere thought can annihte everything within its range."


    Sitting cross-legged, Lin Yuan''s Tai Chi field faintly expanded, enveloping the entire Water Moon District.


    It could be said that at this moment, the lives of all the people in the Water Moon District were in Lin Yuan''s hands with just a single thought.


    "In the entire Cann Star, there are definitely fewer than twenty evolvers below a hundred years old who have reached the Third Rank."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    As a medium-life, Cann Star had a permanent poption of over fifty billion citizens. With such a vast poption base, there would inevitably be some incredible geniuses.


    For example, in this tournament, Lin Yuan attached great importance to a Third Rank opponent who was struck by lightning at birth. Thousands of people around him died from the lightning, but he survived. Moreover, his physique was baptized by thunder, naturally possessing thunder attributes, and could even transform into thunder.


    Hence, other participating evolvers referred to him as the ''Thunder God.''


    The power of thunder, extremely pure and intense, although Lin Yuan hadn''t fought against the ''Thunder God,'' he felt that his Tai Chi field might not be able to restrain the opponent.


    Evolvers like the ''Thunder God'' belonged to the unique typepowerful individuals that couldn''t be poprized, only suitable for that one person.


    "Goddess of Wisdom."


    Lin Yuan contemted for a while and connected to the Goddess of Wisdom.


    "Respected citizen Lin Yuan, please state your request."


    The solemn and cold voice of the Goddess of Wisdom came through.


    "Now that I have stepped into the Third Rank of my martial path, can I disy my full strength in the uing arena matches?"


    Lin Yuan inquired.


    Previously, the Goddess of Wisdom had warned him not to expose his identity as the founder of the martial evolution path, as it might attract the attention of extraterrestrial races, potentially putting him on their ''assassination list.''


    "Please rest assured. Exceptional evolvers don''t attract the attention of extraterrestrial races until they break into the star region rankings."


    The Goddess of Wisdom exined in a soft tone.


    The territory of the Human Alliance was vast, with an enormous poption. Just on Cann Star alone, there were five billion citizens. Cann Star, as a medium-life, was just one of many star regions subordinate to the Human Alliance''s civilization territory.


    Extraterrestrial races didn''t have the energy or strength to focus on the top one hundred or even the top ten human evolvers on a specific.


    Compared to the evolution paths that could be permanently inherited, individual humans were indeed somewhat insignificant.


    "I see."


    Lin Yuan nodded, then asked the Goddess of Wisdom if others could perceive that he was practicing the martial evolution path.


    The exnation from the Goddess of Wisdom was that it was very difficult to perceive, to be precise, almost impossible.


    Currently, there isn''t a single person who has cultivated the martial evolution path to the Grandmaster Realm. Not to mention mastering the Tai Chi way of Yin and Yang Realm.


    Without reaching this realm, it''s impossible toprehend the true mysteries of the Tai Chi way. How could others discern that Lin Yuan is using the Tai Chi way?


    The Human Alliance has announced countless evolution paths, simr to the martial evolution path and the Tai Chi way. Unless Lin Yuan voluntarily reveals it, how could others guess?


    In the arena matches, Lin Yuan knows a lot about his opponents'' evolution paths because these individuals disclosed that information themselves. As long as Lin Yuan doesn''t openly announce that he practices the martial evolution path, others cannot urately guess the specific evolution path. At most, they can determine a general range.


    One must understand that evolution paths are extremely personal matters. Knowing someone''s evolution path allows targeting the weaknesses of that specific path, making it possible to counter the evolver personally. Therefore, except for extremely confident evolvers, normal ones won''t publicize the evolution path they follow.


    "Incidentally, I''ll raise my citizen level."


    With a slight thought, Lin Yuan directly consumed merit points to elevate his citizen level. Half a year ago, afterpleting the second transmigration and uploading the follow-up of the martial evolution path, Lin Yuan received enough merit points to advance to the fourth level. However, he dyed it until now just to maximize the loan limit from the Central Bank of Human Civilization.


    "Ding"


    With the consumption of merit points, Lin Yuan''s citizen level officially rose to level four. A fourth-level citizen was already considered the pinnacle of Cann Star, onlyparable to the ruling officials.


    The privileges of a fourth-level citizen were more profound than those of a third-level citizen. One newly added privilege allowed Lin Yuan to mobilize Cann Star''s fleet to protect himself if he felt his life was threatened.


    In addition, Lin Yuan''s loan limit at the Central Bank increased to one billion, and he received a transfer of twenty million from the Central Bank.


    "Raising to a fifth-level citizen requires fifty thousand merit points?"


    Lin Yuan frowned. No wonder there were no fifth-level citizens on the entire Cann Star. The merit points required to advance to a fifth-level citizen surpassed the sum of the previous four levels.


    "Take it slow."


    Lin Yuan wasn''t in a hurry. The martial evolution path was only at the Third Rank now, and it had already brought him so many merit points. When he eventually opened this evolution path to the Fifth or Sixth Rank in the future, wouldn''t the merit points be even more abundant?


    Just achieving a theoretical potential of the Sixth Rank had already given Lin Yuan twenty thousand merit points. If the martial evolution path truly became a Sixth Rank evolution path, Lin Yuan would undoubtedly receive far more than twenty thousand merit points.


    "Hmm?"


    "Liao President has contacted three times?"


    Lin Yuan nced at the visitor records.


    "Closed off for three days?"


    Lin Yuan stood up and sent a message to President Liao, "I''m fine."


    During the breakthrough to the Third Rank, Lin Yuan''s physical body and soul were undergoing transformation, so the process took a bit longer.


    Lin Yuan had just sent out the message when President Liao responded almost instantly.


    "If there''s anything, you must tell me. That person, Lu Meng, has attack methods that can prate dream realm souls. Even in a virtual world,plete istion is impossible," President Liao expressed concern in his tone.


    In Lin Yuan''s final match before entering seclusion, he faced Lu Meng, a Third-Rank evolver with a dream evolution path. President Liao was worried if Lin Yuan might have been affected.


    Over the past few months of the arena matches, President Liao hade to fully realize Lin Yuan''s unparalleled evolutionary talent. With the strength of Second Rank and Twelfth Stage, Lin Yuan had resiliently withstood the attacks of a Third-Rank evolver for half an hour.


    If not for the time limit, Lin Yuan might have been able to continue holding his ground. This potential, ced even within the entire Eastern Continent, was top-notch. It was a level of talent that couldn''t be produced even over dozens of arena matches.


    "I really am fine," Lin Yuan contemted for a moment and continued with another message, "I have reached the Third Rank."


    Entering the Third Rank wouldn''t remain a secret for long. In the uing individual arena matches, facing opponents of the Third Rank, Lin Yuan would undoubtedly showcase his corresponding strength.


    At the Evolutionary Association of Dongning City, President Liao sat in his seat, staring nkly at the virtual screen in front of him, especially those six words: "I have reached the Third Rank." These words turned President Liao''s mind into a mess.


    Reached the Third Rank? Lin Yuan had entered the Third Rank? In Dongning City, he had produced a Third-Rank evolver? Dongning City had hosted over a thousand arena matches. In its prime, there were only two or three Second-Rank evolvers.


    As for Third-Rank evolvers, President Liao didn''t even dare to think about such a thing.


    One of the conditions for the arena matches was being under a hundred years old. Although Dongning City had once witnessed the birth of a Third-Rank evolver, adding the constraint of being under a hundred years old made it almost unheard of.


    Even for the entire Eastern Continent or the entire Cann Star, the number of evolvers meeting this condition was extremely limited.


    "Now, in the arena matches, an evolver explicitly revealing Third-Rank strength is just a little over ten."


    "Dongning City has produced a dragon!"


    President Liao''s eyes turned red as he muttered to himself.


    ...

 Chapter 61

    Chapter 61


    Soon.


    The teampetition in the arena on Cann Star came to an end.


    Due to Lin Yuan''s power, Dongning City unexpectedly secured the 100th position.


    It''s worth mentioning that this ranking epasses the entire Cann Star. Cann Star is divided into five continents: East, West, North, South, and the powerful Central Continent.


    Over twenty thousand cities participated.


    Achieving a top 100 position among so many cities undoubtedly attracted envy.


    Everyone could see that Dongning City achieved its current ranking primarily because of "Lin Yuan."


    This evolutionist, who to some extent rivaled a Third Rank, was the core of Dongning City''s participating team. As for the other three members, saying they were essories was actually praising them.


    "If our city had an evolver like ''Lin Yuan,'' we could probably break into the top fifty."


    "True, an evolver who masters the power of domains is well-suited to control the entire field. Such abilities are incredibly rare."


    "I wonder what luck Dongning City had. In the previous few arenapetitions, I hadn''t even heard the name of this city. Now, it suddenly emerges."


    "By the way, do any of you know this ''Lin Yuan'' person?"


    Countless spectators were rapidly discussing.


    In the teampetition, Lin Yuan was undoubtedly the most eye-catching figure.


    His presence even overshadowed the more than ten Third Rank evolvers.


    After all, resisting a Third Rank evolver for over half an hour with only Second Rank strength was a scene rarely seen in previous arenapetitions.


    "Next is the individualpetition."


    "I wonder how well Lin Yuan can rank in the uing matches."


    "I believe he can make it to at least the top fifty."


    "I think top twenty; just below those ten-plus Third Rank evolvers."


    The excitement of the arenapetition further escted. Compared to the teampetition, the individualpetition generated even more enthusiasm.


    Dongning City Arena.


    The individualpetition was dyed by more than half a month after the teampetition ended. Until then, thepetition had reached the top five hundred.


    Lin Yuan stood on one side of the arena, quietly awaiting his opponent for this match.


    The seats around him were filled with spectators.


    After hundreds of matches, Lin Yuan had umted arge number of "fans."


    Especially in the final battle of the teampetition, single-handedly resisting a Third Rank evolver and two Second Rank pinnacle evolvers for over half an hour, he gained numerous supporters.


    Now, every match Lin Yuan participated in attracted arge audience, including millions of ordinary citizens who watched through the "live broadcast."


    "I never thought this arenapetition coulde this far," remarked the host Sun Bin with deep emotion.


    As the host of Dongning City, Sun Bin could onlymentate on Dongning City''s matches. If all Dongning City participants were eliminated, he naturally wouldn''t have anything to do.


    Sun Bin had onlymentated on one match the most in previous arenapetitions, which was decades ago, and it was iparable to the current situation.


    It should be noted that the arenapetition had now reached the top five hundred, which was close to the final stage.


    Sun Bin felt like he was dreaming.


    No, even if he were dreaming, he wouldn''t dare to dream this kind of dream.


    "Alright, now our contestant Lin Yuan has arrived, the one who has created miracles all the way."


    Sun Bin generously praised Lin Yuan, then began introducing Lin Yuan''s opponent.


    "In this match, the opponent is from Haiyuan City, Sima Yun, also a Second Rank pinnacle evolver, pursuing the Water Element Evolutionary Path."


    Sun Bin looked around at the filled seats, his voice enthusiastic. "In terms of historical records, Lin Yuan undoubtedly has a higher chance of winning, but Sima Yun cannot be underestimated."


    On the arena.


    Lin Yuan looked at the opponent who appeared in the distance.


    Sima Yun was a woman with blue-colored pupils, and looking at her was like looking into an ocean.


    "Water Element Evolutionary Path."


    Interest appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    The Water Element Evolutionary Path was one of the elemental evolutionary paths. Elemental evolutionary paths included five major mainstream paths: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. In addition, there were special paths like Shadow and Ice.


    In the previous matches, Lin Yuan encountered some evolvers with different elemental evolutionary paths.


    But the Water Element Evolutionary Path is rtively rare.


    Soon.


    The match began.


    Lin Yuan was about to unleash the Tai Chi Domain, intending to carefully study Sima Yun.


    At this moment, Sima Yun, standing opposite Lin Yuan, raised her hand without hesitation.


    "I concede."


    Sima Yun deeply looked at Lin Yuan.


    If it were any other opponent, she, Sima Yun, would try to resist to some extent. She wouldn''t directly admit defeat.


    But Lin Yuan...


    Sima Yun had been paying attention to Lin Yuan for a long time, understanding his fighting style. Opponents who fought against Lin Yuan often managed to hold on until thest moment, enduring various "maniptions" and probes from Lin Yuan.


    This was true when fighting against First Rank opponents and Second Rank opponents alike.


    After a long time, Sima Yun began to sense that something was off. Therefore, she chose to concede directly.


    After all, Sima Yun believed that it was absolutely impossible for her to resist a Third Rank evolver for over half an hour.


    If Lin Yuan could achieve that, it proved that his strength surpassed hers. Rather than being continuously toyed with after the match, it was better to concede gracefully.


    "Concede."


    Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.


    He sighed.


    Lately, in the individual matches, there were more and more evolvers without the will to progress.


    Before leaving, Sima Yun curiously asked Lin Yuan.


    "Are you also like them, aiming for those ten spots?"


    "Ten spots?" Lin Yuan didn''t answer.


    When he returned to the resting room, Lin Yuan fell into brief contemtion.


    Sima Yun, as an evolver who could make it into the top five hundred, definitely wouldn''t say something without a basis.


    "Ten spots?"


    "Is it the top ten, or something else?"


    Lin Yuan rubbed his chin and simultaneously connected to the Goddess of Wisdom.


    "I want to know about the matter of the ten spots in the arenapetition."


    Lin Yuan inquired directly.


    Rather thanboriously investigating the issue of the "ten spots," it was better to ask the Goddess of Wisdom. The Goddess knew everything that humanity should and shouldn''t know.


    "Beep. If the authority is sufficient for the so-called ''ten spots,'' it refers to the ten spots in the Cann Star arenapetition that have been selected for Red Kun Star Lord''s viewing."


    "Evolvers who rank in the top ten of the individual arenapetition have the chance to attract the attention of Red Kun Star Lord."


    The solemn and cold voice of the Goddess of Wisdom slowly echoed.


    "Red Kun Star Lord?"


    Lin Yuan looked somewhat surprised.


    This was an eminent figure who ruled over a star domain, an absolute authority.


    The Red Kun Star Domain, including the eight major star systems, all fell within the influence of this Red Kun Star Lord.


    Cann Star, Central Continent.


    Within a private space.


    A man with thunderous shadows in his pupils sat on a sofa.


    Just by sitting there, faint lightning seemed to flow in the surrounding void.


    "This is the list of notable participants and detailed information for the uing arenapetition. Thunder God, take a look to avoid problems during the encounters."


    Beside the man with thunderous shadows in his pupils, a middle-aged man stood. He lightly tapped the virtual screen in front of him and stepped back to the front of the sofa.


    Most of the participants on this list had reached the Third Rank in strength, and a few were exceptional Second Rank evolvers. Lin Yuan''s name was also among them.


    "I don''t need these."


    Thunder God''s expression remained calm.


    He was struck by lightning in his childhood, and everyone around him died. He was the only one who survived, and his body waster modified into a body of thunder.


    Casually choosing a thunder-rted evolutionary path, he made rapid progress. In just a few decades, he advanced to the Third Rank. Hisbat power surged as he swept through enemies with summoned thunder, mastery over thunder, and transforming into thunder. Facing other evolvers, he possessed overwhelming advantages.


    "Analyzing opponents is the behavior of the weak. I don''t need it."


    Thunder God rose slowly, walked to the window, and his eyes lit up slightly. "I''ve never regarded these opponents on the arena as worthy adversaries because they are all ordinary people, while I am Thunder."


    Thunder God stood by the window, speaking with great confidence and assurance, his words carrying immense conviction.

    Rest area.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    In front of him, a virtual screen appeared, shing profiles of various evolvers.


    These evolvers had all made it into the top fifty of the arena tournament, and even though they weren''t third rank, the difference wasn''t too significant; each had their own trump cards.


    Lin Yuan carefully observed and even pulled upbat videos from their previous matches. With his unparalleled insight, watching these videos could provide a certain level of enlightenment.


    Of course,pared to real-timebat, these videos were merely appetizers.


    "Fang Qing."


    Lin Yuan''s expression became slightly serious.


    Looking at the information in front of him, it belonged to a young man.


    He appeared gentle and harmless but was a strong contender for the championship in this tournament.


    So far, no one knew the evolutionary path Fang Qing was pursuing.


    However, every time Fang Qing made a move, the battle ended within one or two moves, even against third-rank evolvers.


    This was quite the opposite of Lin Yuan''s approach.


    In the eyes of most spectators, Lin Yuan enjoyed "ying around" with his opponents. Even when facing first-rank evolvers, he would drag the match into overtime.


    This had caused a considerable number of evolvers to fear Lin Yuan inherently.


    Apart from Fang Qing, there were a few other evolvers that Lin Yuan needed to pay attention to.


    For instance, there was the Thunder God who could summon and control thunder. Lin Yuan wasn''t too worried, but the ability to transform the entire body into thunder, making it immune to most physical attacks, was noteworthy.


    Then there was a third-rank evolver who followed the path of poison. The path of poison was quite niche, with very few evolvers practicing it. However, once someone achieved sess in this path, the techniques they mastered could cause headaches for evolvers of the same level or even higher.


    Poison not only affected the physical body but also influenced and suppressed the soul and spirit.


    A third-rank evolver following the path of poison could easily annihte millions or tens of millions of citizens in a city if they wished.


    Time passed.


    In the blink of an eye, half a day had gone by.


    The virtual world arena tournament invited Lin Yuan to participate.


    The tournament had now reached the top fifty contestants.


    Each contestant was either a third-rank evolver or a second-rank peak evolver with unique abilities. Ordinary second-rank evolvers had been eliminated long ago.


    Out of the current fifty contestants, neen were clearly third-rank evolvers.


    In the rest area, Lin Yuan agreed to the official invitation from the arena tournament.


    Whoosh!


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared in the center of the arena.


    The moment Lin Yuan appeared, cheers and apuse erupted from all directions, creating a deafening roar.


    "So many people?"


    Lin Yuan surveyed the surroundings and found that nearly ten million seats in all directions were filled with spectators.


    The arena tournament had now moved to the most prosperous city arena in the central continent.


    As for the number of matches, it had decreased from the initial eight thousand matches per day to the current five matches per day.


    This had caused the spectators to "converge." For this match, the audience had reached nearly ten million.


    It''s worth noting that the spectators who could enter the virtual world were either evolvers or citizens of second level or higher.


    As for ordinary citizens watching through "real-time broadcast," their numbers probably exceeded a ten billion.


    There was no other way.


    Now there are only two matches in a day, and they are scheduled at different times.


    Audiences who want to watch the arena tournament can only choose to watch this match.


    Lin Yuan appeared on the arena.


    This triggered a massive cheer from the audience.


    "Lin Yuan!"


    "Lin Yuan is here!"


    "Torture King Lin Yuan!" (Hm.. Why does it seems so sexy? :D)


    Various cheers echoed.


    Although it wasn''t a live match, the virtual world was a one-to-one simtion replica.


    Everyone''s voices spread through the air, deafeningly loud.


    Before long, Lin Yuan''s opponent also appeared.


    He was a slender man with ice-cold eyes, and an inexplicable chill spread wherever he stood.


    Third-rank evolver, Bing Yan.


    He followed the path of ice within the special element evolutionary path.


    Most of the evolvers who had faced Bing Yan before ended up as ice sculptures.


    Bing Yan''s appearance garnered even more responses from the surrounding audience.


    Although Lin Yuan had broken through to the third rank, he had yet to reveal his true third-rank strength.


    Most of his previous opponents either voluntarily surrendered, or those who didn''t weren''t very strong, and he didn''t need to exert his full power against them.


    Therefore, in the eyes of the spectators, Lin Yuan was only seen as a special second-rank peak evolver.


    Bing Yan, on the other hand, was a genuine third-rank evolver.


    In the Cann Star, fewer than twenty individuals managed to reach the third rank within a hundred years.


    Bing Yan was one of them.


    "I''ve watched your match videos."


    "I admit you''re strong, but encountering me, it ends here."


    Bing Yan spoke calmly, seemingly devoid of any emotional fluctuations.


    Up to this point, Lin Yuan''s most prominent record was supporting himself against a third-rank evolver for over half an hour.


    However, that third-rank evolver was a rare Dream Realm evolver skilled in soul and spiritual attacks.


    Given Lin Yuan''s cultivation path, achieving such endurance in soul and spirit wasn''t surprising.


    Analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of normal evolutionary paths, one focusing on soul and spirit would likely have shorings in physical materialization.


    The Ice Evolutionary Path excelled in freezing everything, including the physical body.


    Because of this, Bing Yan was very confident.


    In the audience area.


    Sitting in the central position was a seemingly gentle and harmless young man.


    He looked down at the battlefield below with a somewhat bored expression.


    "Teacher, these two people, one is not yet third rank, and the other follows an ordinary evolutionary path. Watching them fight is not as good as practicing more in the rest area."


    The young man was named Fang Qing, a popr candidate for the championship in this tournament.


    "Idiot."


    On Fang Qing''s shoulder, the figure of a palm-sized old man with a white beard appeared.


    This old man''s figure was illusory, visible and perceptible only to Fang Qing.


    "Until now, you still haven''t figured out what''s special about that evolver named ''Lin Yuan''?"


    "Special? Domain embryonic form?"


    Fang Qing tentatively asked.


    Lin Yuan''s most formidable ability revealed so far was the embryonic form of a domain.


    This was something that fourth and fifth-rank evolvers could hope to master.


    However, even the embryonic form of a domain was extremely difficult for other evolvers.


    But in the eyes of ancient god-lineage evolvers like Fang Qing, it was just that.


    If Fang Qing wanted to, he could also quickly master the embryonic form of a domain.


    "It''s not the embryonic form of the domain that''s special but the power evolved from it."


    The white-bearded old man rolled his eyes.


    "Also, the old master once roamed dozens of star domains, looking down on everything. In the end, he was besieged and killed by extraterrestrial beings. As the old master''s sessor, even though you follow the ''ancient god'' evolutionary path, if you remaincent, underestimate your enemies, you''ll sooner orter follow the old master''s path."


    The white-bearded old man couldn''t help but say.


    In the past, the old master was glorious, but he died, and everything was gone.


    "I understand."


    Fang Qing''s expression normalized, and he began to carefully watch the battle below.


    "If my guess is correct, that ''Lin Yuan'' should already be at the third rank," the white-bearded old man continued.


    "Already at the third rank?" Fang Qing''s expression changed.


    On the arena.


    The moment the host announced the start of the match, Bing Yan immediately took action.


    Although he was confident, he wouldn''t be careless and went all out.


    A terrifying cold intent spread wildly.


    But the next moment.


    An invisible fluctuation enveloped the area.


    The Tai Chi field at the third rank was more perfected, and its restraining effect on the enemy was even greater.


    Facing a third-rank opponent, Lin Yuan had no intention of hiding his abilities, suppressing the opponent with his Tai Chi field.


    "What''s this?"


    Bing Yan''s face changed slightly.


    Lin Yuan had revealed the Tai Chi field in previous matches, but the power couldn''t be this great; otherwise, he wouldn''t have been pressed by that third-rank Dream Realm evolver.


    "You''re already at the third rank?" Bing Yan''s expression became serious.


    Such a degree of suppression could only be achieved with the embryonic form of a third-rank domain.


    "However, winning against me won''t be that easy."


    Bing Yan came rushing towards Lin Yuan, almost turning into a thousand-year-old iceberg crashing down.


    Even with the suppression and constraints of the Tai Chi field, Bing Yan''s speed reached an unbelievable level, reaching thousands of meters per second.


    Boom!


    The two shed directly.


    "See that?"


    "That Lin Yuan isn''t simple, right?"


    The white-bearded old man sat on Fang Qing''s shoulder, looking down at the battlefield with interest.


    "Indeed, not simple."


    Fang Qing nodded slightly.


    He could see that Lin Yuan was using not just one but twopletely opposite forces.


    These twopletely opposite forces, in Lin Yuan''s hands, reached a certain bnce, perfectly merging together.


    "If I were to fight Lin Yuan, I''d probably use the ''Ancient God'' true form, then suppress him in ten moves, and defeat him after two hundred moves."


    The reason it required two hundred moves was that Fang Qing could see that Lin Yuan''s mastered two fused forces excelled in defense, capable of transforming the enemy''s attack into his own.


    "Fused forces are something achievable at the sixth rank. If you don''t rely on the ''Ancient God'' evolutionary path, under simr conditions, you''re not as good as this Lin Yuan," the white-bearded old man said, ncing at Fang Qing.

    Chapter 63


    "Too ufortable."


    At this moment, Bing Yan was somewhat despondent. He felt that the surrounding Tai Chi domain was like a spider web, and he was the insect trapped inside.


    Every movement was under tremendous restraint. Afterpleting the first outburst, only to be effortlessly blocked back by Lin Yuan, Bing Yan realized that he had no chance of winning.


    The following time was rtively long. Under the coverage of the Tai Chi domain, Bing Yan evencked the ability to call out "surrender".


    He could only be toyed with by Lin Yuan for more than half an hour before the battle came to an end.


    At the same time, the audience around erupted in earth-shattering cheers. Before the match, most of the audience believed that Bing Yan had the upper hand.


    After all, it was a third rank against a second rank, even though thetter had an impressive record of resisting a third rank for over half an hour.


    However, once the match began, with Lin Yuan revealing his third rank strength, the atmosphere reached its peak.


    The earlier skepticism, given the third rank against the second rank, vanished as the two third-rank evolvers battled fiercely before them.


    "Lin Yuan!"


    "Lin Yuan is invincible!"


    "Lin Yuan, can youe and torment me?"


    Amidst the deafening cheers, Lin Yuan''s figure disappeared, returning to the rest area.


    "Phew."


    Lin Yuan let out a light breath.


    "Ice attribute power."


    Countless insights shed in Lin Yuan''s mind during the battle with Bing Yan. The ice techniques demonstrated by the opponent, terrifying killing moves to others, were, in Lin Yuan''s eyes, enlightenments rted to this type of power.


    "Ice, freezing everything."


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes, appearing contemtive. Second-rank ice evolvers only manifested the usage of ice power. However, third-rank ice evolvers could slightly delve into the essence of ice power.


    "Not bad, not bad."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly. Fighting against Bing Yan for over half an hour had been quite beneficial. It wasparable to his battle with the third-rank evolver who excelled in soul attacks.


    "However..."


    Lin Yuan''s expression suddenly turned heavy. As the rankings in the arena continued to advance, he felt a certain pressure.


    Fighting against Bing Yan required revealing his third-rank strength, and although he hadn''t fully revealed his cards, Bing Yan made him unable to be careless.


    If even Bing Yan posed such a challenge, what about those third-rank evolvers who were closer to the front?


    Among the neen third-rank evolvers, Bing Yan''s strength tended to be toward the back. If Lin Yuan faced third-rank evolvers with higher rankings, could he still handle them as effortlessly?


    Just as Lin Yuan felt the pressure, something caught his attention.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan''s mind moved, sinking deep into the depths of his consciousness. There stood a towering gate, and at this moment, the peripheral area had beenpletely illuminated.


    "Can I travel through it now?"


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts diverged. Unknowingly, more than ten months had passed since the second transmigration. The Gate of Myriad Realms, through this period of umtion, could now support Lin Yuan''s third transmigration.


    "Also, I wonder what kind of world it will be this time through the portal?"


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts stirred as he began to extend a strand of his consciousness into the depths of the Gate of Myriad Realms.


    In the previous two transmigrations, Lin Yuan had invested his entire consciousness. However, this time, he attempted to allocate just a fraction of his consciousness.


    This minuscule portion of consciousness constituted only a millionth of Lin Yuan''s total consciousness. Even if it suffered destructive attacks, it would have no significant impact on Lin Yuan. He could recover within one or two hours.


    "Hum!"


    As Lin Yuan''s strand of consciousness delved in, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a vast world. This immense world was extraordinary, and at a nce, Lin Yuan saw a colossal phantom resembling a mountainous weapon.


    "That''s... a weapon?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression was astonished, and then his awareness returned to his main body.


    At the same time, Lin Yuan received partial information about the world he would traverse this time.


    [Time: One hundred and sixty years]


    "That world seems to be of a higher level than the Dragon Tiger Realm. With a time flow rate of one hundred and sixty years there, only two or three days might pass in the main world here," Lin Yuan spected.


    This attempt made Lin Yuan more prepared. At least, it wouldn''t be as perplexing as the previous two transmigrations.


    "I have another match in half a day."


    "After that, it''s the finals for the top ten, scheduled half a monthter."


    Lin Yuan decided to make the transmigration half a dayter. This slight dy wouldn''t cause any significant issues.


    During the waiting period, Lin Yuan remained active rather than idling. He watched the matches of other evolvers, starting with the one who followed the path of poison.


    This evolver''s opponent was also a third-rank evolver. However, right from the beginning of the match, the opponent''s face turned purple and green, clearly affected by some potent poison.


    After more than ten minutes, the opponent''s bodypletely decayed. During this time, the poison path evolver only symbolically defended for a while, watching the opponent fall to the ground.


    Next, Lin Yuan watched the match of the ''Thunder God.'' It was again a contest between third-rank evolvers. The Thunder God controlled thunder and eventually transformed into thunder, directly overwhelming the opponent.


    The Thunder God''s matches were basically devoid of suspense. Regardless of how powerful the opponent was, when the Thunder God chose to transform into thunder, the match concluded.


    Finally, Lin Yuan watched the match of someone named ''Fang Qing.'' Fang Qing''s opponent was formidable, ranking high among the third-rank evolvers, just below the Thunder God.


    However, this powerful third-rank evolver, when faced with Fang Qing, couldn''t withstand even five moves. In the fifth move, a towering figure suddenly appeared behind Fang Qing.


    An ancient and vast aura permeated the arena. The opponent''s mind shook, and he was directly trampled into a pile of flesh.


    "Path of Ancient Gods."


    Lin Yuan let out a sigh of relief. This pathway was extremely rare and renowned in the Red Kun Star Region and surrounding star regions.


    The majestic figure behind Fang Qing surfaced in Lin Yuan''s mind, leaving him with a deep impression. Honestly, even if he revealed all his cards, Lin Yuan had no confidence in defeating Fang Qing.


    After watching Fang Qing''s match, Lin Yuan heard another piece of news. A second-rank peak evolver, during thepetition, had a breakthrough in bloodline and directly entered the third rank.


    This third-rank peak evolver turned out to be a bloodline evolver. Originally thought to be an ordinary third-rank bloodline, the breakthrough revealed a hidden sixth-rank bloodline.


    A sixth-rank bloodline!


    This was the descendant of a fallen-star level existence.


    Now, with the bloodline awakening, this evolver instantly became the most popr candidate for the championship. It almost suppressed Fang Qing, who had revealed the ''Path of Ancient Gods.''


    Half a dayter, Lin Yuan finished his match, returned to the rest area, and sat cross-legged. His face showed a solemn expression.


    Up to this point in the arena, every evolver who had participated was no ordinary person. Thunder God possessed a unique physique, able to transform into thunder, with unparalleled aptitude. F


    ang Qing cultivated the ''Path of Ancient Gods,'' with a vast background and predecessors paving the way.


    The evolver with a sixth-rank bloodline had ancestors who had even encountered fallen-star level powerhouses, making his bloodline sufficient to make him fearless among the third-rank evolvers.


    Compared to them, Lin Yuan seemed somewhat inconspicuous, with an ordinary background and no powerful bloodline.


    "The path of evolution depends on effort, and while background, resources, and bloodlines are important, they are not necessary."


    "Even without a remarkable background, abundant resources, or a powerful bloodline, I, Lin Yuan, will still achieve future aplishments that are no less than anyone else''s through my own efforts." (Aww, how cool!)


    Lin Yuan severed his consciousness from the virtual world,y down in the nutrient cabin, and closed his eyes.


    "Gate of Myriad Realms, begin the transmigration!"


    ...


    New worlding! :D

 Chapter 64

    Chapter 64


    Between the hazy moments, Lin Yuan opened his eyes.


    "Where is this?" was his first thought.


    "I haven''t been born yet?" was his second thought.


    That''s right; at this moment, Lin Yuan is still in the womb. Warm amniotic fluid flows around him.


    "Why does it seem to get smaller with each transmigration?" Lin Yuan felt a bit puzzled, even though he didn''t have teeth yet.


    The first time he transmigrated, Lin Yuan was a little over three years old. The second time, he had just been born. Now, for the third transmigration, he finds himself inside the womb.


    Even though Lin Yuan knew that the transmigration through the Gateway of the Myriad Realms were entirely random, he couldn''t help but feel a bit speechless.


    "But this isn''t necessarily a bad thing." Quickly adapting to his current situation, Lin Yuan began to contemte.


    Before the transmigration, Lin Yuan had studied the flesh of Lon He, who hailed from the Thunder Rain Starfield. As the offspring of a prominent figure in the Thunder Rain Starfield, Lon He''s flesh had its roots in an extremely rare and unique life found deep in the cosmos.


    Using his parents'' genes as a carrier, the core genes of this special life were introduced.


    The flesh cultivated from this process, regardless of its potential or other aspects, far surpassed that of ordinary humans. Even without any cultivation, Lon He''s flesh could quickly grow to the strength of the second rank.


    In the new world, half a year''s time had passed.


    Apart from pondering the subsequent paths ofprehending the martial way evolution, Lin Yuan had dedicated all his remaining energy to understanding the mysteries of this type of flesh.


    With the help of his unrivaled insight, Lin Yuan had alreadyprehended aplete set of techniques for the transformation of the flesh. This technique could slowly transform the flesh, achieving the effect of enhancing the essence of life.


    As for the efficiency of the transformation of the essence of life, the younger one was, the better.


    Lin Yuan''s flesh in the main world had already matured, and the progress of practicing this technique was slow. It had taken nearly half a year toplete only a tenth of the transformation progress.


    However, now, Lin Yuan had not yet been born, and his body was in its initial state. It was the perfect time to practice this bodily transformation technique.


    In fact, Lin Yuan had deliberately devoted some of his energy toprehend this transformation technique for the body to prevent a repeat of the extreme situation he faced during thest transmigrationbeing born and immediately finding himself in a dire predicament without any ability to resist.


    This way of transforming the body would, at least, give Lin Yuan the power to protect himself ahead of time.


    "Let''s not rush the transformation of the flesh. First, let''s see how the status and background of my parents are in this life."


    The transformation of the flesh requires energy. Since Lin Yuan has not been born yet, he naturally cannot serve as a source to obtain energy.


    If Lin Yuan starts the transformation of the flesh, he will instinctively absorb the energy of the mother''s body.


    The specific manifestation is that the mother''s appetite will increase dramatically, requiring various nourishing foods.


    If it were an ordinary poor family, facing this situation would be an additional burden.


    If that were the case, Lin Yuan could only honestly wait until after birth before making ns.


    Compared to the transformation of the flesh, Lin Yuan is even more unwilling to "prematurely die."


    The method of transforming the flesh can be cultivated after birth, absorbing the Yin and Yang between heaven and earth, and it only takes a few hours to see results.


    Time passed.


    A little over half a month passed.


    "It seems like this life is not bad" Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    During this period, he vaguely sensed that there were dozens of servants just attending to his mother. How could an ordinary family afford such treatment?


    Additionally, Lin Yuan could feel that his mother consumed expensive supplements daily. This information was confirmed by the energy transmitted through the umbilical cord.


    "This time, my identity should be that of a prince of a nation. My father is the current emperor, my mother is a noble concubine, and my grandfather is also a distinguished official," Lin Yuan silently spected.


    In the past half month, Lin Yuan often heard conversationsing from the ''outside''. These conversations inadvertently revealed many secrets.


    Initially, Lin Yuan didn''t understand thenguage of this world and couldn''tprehend it. However, with repeated exposure, his Unrivaled Insight naturally allowed him to learn. The same pronunciation that others needed to hear hundreds or thousands of times to remember, Lin Yuan could grasp after hearing it just once.


    This was the power of his Unrivaled Insight.


    Bybining the tone used when saying a word, the reactions of others, and listening to a few more sentences, Lin Yuan could understand the meaning.


    Learning anguage was just that simple.


    In the Pce of a Hundred Flowers


    A pce maid hurriedly entered. "Your Highness, this servant inquired with the imperial physician. This time, you are definitely carrying a prince."


    The pce maid spoke excitedly, casting a cautious nce around as if afraid of being overheard.


    "Well," Wang Shangfeng didn''t mind much. "Whether it''s a son or a daughter, they are both the children of His Majesty and me. I will be happy either way."


    "Oh, Your Highness, why don''t you understand anything?" The pce maid''s tone was somewhat anxious. "His Majesty currently does not have a son. If you give birth to a prince..."


    "Some things aren''t for you to say." Wang Shangfeng''s expression suddenly turned cold and she calmly looked over.


    "Yes, yes." The pce maid turned pale and trembled as she knelt on the ground.


    "It seems that my mother, in this life, is very intelligent" Lin Yuan, inside the womb, quietly listened to themotion outside. He held a high opinion of his mother this time. At least, she knew how to keep a low profile.


    "No." Lin Yuan suddenly felt an urgency. "In the depths of the pce, it''s easy to avoid an obvious threat but hard to guard against a hidden one. I need to focus on elerating the transformation of my flesh."


    This sense of urgency arose when he realized that he was in the imperial pce, especially after learning that the current emperor had no sons. Lin Yuan felt an even stronger urgency. Even the pce maids knew that Wang Shangfeng was likely carrying a prince. Did the other consorts not know? Especially the empress, any slight suspicion from her could endanger Lin Yuan.


    Of course, Lin Yuan''s transformation of the flesh was entirely based on Wang Shangfeng''s reactions. He wouldn''t absorb without limits, and the energy formed by the transformation would gently nourish the mother.


    As Lin Yuan began his transformation, Wang Shangfeng immediately felt a hunger, as if she hadn''t eaten anything for three days and nights. Fortunately, being in the imperial pce and having a strong background, shecked nothing in terms of nourishing foods, so there were no issues.


    Eight monthster, Wang Shangfeng caressed her belly.


    "You little guy have consumed so many supplements from your mother" Wang Shangfeng sighed.


    If a single word were to summarize the past half-year, it would be "eating". She practically never stopped taking various precious herbs and medicines from deep within the mountains. If it weren''t for the support of her family and discreetly handling major expenses, this matter would likely have already caused amotion throughout the entire imperial pce.


    Being able to eat was indeed a good thing, but eating excessively was strange. Even so, rumors circted within the pce about Wang Shangfeng''s incredible appetite.


    The emperor himself had heard about it, but he didn''t inquire much. After all, before entering the pce, Wang Shangfeng was a formidable cultivator. What''s wrong with eating a bit more during pregnancy?


    "Almost there. My difficult days are about to end" Wang Shangfeng faintly sensed the movements of her child in her belly, asionally kicking her. Calcting the days, it was almost time to give birth.


    In the Great Yan Dynasty, within the Imperial Pce:


    Emperor Liu Shi Zheng sat at the desk dealing with state affairs.


    "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Concubine Wang has given birth, Concubine Wang has given birth!"


    At this moment, a eunuch rushed over, respectfully reporting, "Oh? Gave birth to another daughter, right?" Emperor Liu Shi Zheng didn''t even lift his eyes, casually asking.


    Since Liu Shi Zheng ascended the throne, he favored many concubines but had not fathered an heir. To be precise, he had not produced a prince. As for princesses, there were many, but without a prince, who would inherit the throne in the future? Should he adopt one from another imperial family? Liu Shi Zheng was naturally unwilling to do so; he had worked hard to seize the throne, and he wanted to pass it on to his own son.


    However, regardless of Liu Shi Zheng''s efforts, all of his offspring were princesses and daughters. Counting the years, he had ennobled over sixty princesses in the past twenty years. After more than two decades on the throne, without even one prince, rumors abounded both inside and outside the court. (Bloody hell 60!! He really worked hard didn''t he? :D)


    "If this is not the ancestors'' punishment for me..."


    Liu Shi Zheng''s eyes appeared somewhat distracted. In his youth, in order to ascend the throne, he had killed all of his brothers. After bing the emperor, to consolidate his power, he had imprisoned those few princes, his uncles, to death.


    While Liu Shi Zheng''s thoughts were drifting, the trembling voice of the eunuch brought him back to reality. "Your Majesty, it''s a dragon son. Concubine Wang has given birth to a son."


    "I know. Wait a moment."


    Emperor Liu Shi Zheng waved his hand, unexpectedly stopping.


    "What did you say?"


    Liu Shi Zheng''s gaze suddenly revealed a glint, staring straight at the eunuch, word by word, "What did you say?"


    "Your Majesty, the servant means Concubine Wang has given birth to a dragon son."


    The eunuch''s scalp tingled, fearing he had angered the emperor. He hurriedly exined.


    "Dragon son."


    Ripples surged in Liu Shi Zheng''s heart. He had indeed heard from the imperial physician that Wang Shangfeng was likely carrying a son. However, he had heard such ims many times beforemost of the previous princesses were born with simr ims. He just didn''t expect it to be true this time.


    "Your Majesty."


    After a while, with no response from Liu Shi Zheng, the eunuch gathered courage to look up, only to find that the emperor, who had been sitting at the desk, had already left.


    Outside the Hall of a Hundred Flowers:


    The Hall of a Hundred Flowers was Concubine Wang''s residence.


    Emperor Liu Shi Zheng stood outside the hall.


    "I have a son?"


    Emperor Liu Shi Zheng didn''t immediately enter. Instead, he hesitated a bit.


    "Your Majesty, this is the dragon son."


    At this moment, a chubby royal physician walked out, holding a newborn baby, stopping in front of Liu Shi Zheng.


    "Your Majesty, after examining him, the dragon son possesses a robust physique from birth, a talent unseen since the founding of the Great Yan Dynasty."


    The plump royal physician was excited, his hands holding the baby trembling.


    "A talent from heaven?"


    "My son is a heaven-gifted talent?"


    Emperor Liu Shi Zheng was somewhat lost in thought for a moment. Originally, he was already overjoyed that Wang Shangfeng gave birth to a son. He never expected this son to be a heaven-gifted talent.


    Emperor Liu Shi Zheng nced at the royal physician.


    Finding his expression calm and his eyes showing excitement rather than ttering, Liu Shi Zheng believed him to a great extent. With thoughts surging, Emperor Liu Shi Zheng stared at the baby, Lin Yuan, with slightly trembling hands.


    In the end, Liu Shi Zheng still took Lin Yuan into his arms, lifting him up carefully.


    "Congrattions to Your Majesty on the birth of the Dragon Son!"


    "Congrattions to Your Majesty on the birth of the Dragon Son!"


    "Congrattions to Your Majesty on the birth of the Dragon Son!"


    All the eunuchs and pce maids inside and outside the Hall of a Hundred Flowers knelt on the ground, loudly shouting.


    "I have a son!"


    "I, Liu Shi Zheng, finally have a son!"


    "And he''s a heaven-gifted talent!!!"


    Emperor Liu Shi Zhengughed heartily, carefully lifting Lin Yuan as if he were holding up the world.

    Chapter 65


    Bonus Chapter!


    ...


    Lin Yuan''s birth seemed to transform Emperor Liu Shi.


    Even his attendance at court became more active.


    After all, before Lin Yuan''s birth, Emperor Liu Shi once doubted whether he could have a son.


    In the absence of a son, the imperial throne would eventually pass to someone else.


    Although that person would be adopted into his lineage, treated as a true son, and provided for as a biological father would, having a son who was not his own blood felt somewhat strange.


    This uncertainty led Liu Shi to ack of motivation in handling state affairs.


    "What''s the use of trying so hard now? In the end, won''t the throne fall into someone else''s hands?"


    However, everything changed with Lin Yuan''s birth.


    Emperor Liu Shi had a son, a son who could inherit everything from him.


    Moreover, this son possessed such a powerful physique that even after a postnatal examination, Liu Shi found it unbelievable.


    With such innate physical strength, he might be tearing apart tigers and leopards at the age of two or three.


    However, Liu Shi understood that being a sessful emperor required more than just martial prowess.


    Political strategies were equally crucial.


    In the current world, there were thirty-six states in the Central ins.


    Great Yan was just one of them, located in the southern part of the Central ins.


    It was not the weakest, but it had no significant advantage over the strongest.


    Especially in this generation, the most important foundation of Great Yan, the Divine Armament Master, had not yet been cultivated.


    This situation left Liu Shi somewhat distressed.


    Without a Divine Armament Master, Great Yan would always be at a disadvantage against other nations.


    Liu Shi nned to cultivate a Divine Armament Master during his reign, so that by the time he passed the throne to Lin Yuan, the Great Yan Dynasty would be a stable and powerful nation.


    At that time, Lin Yuan would be able to realize all his political ambitions.


    Whether it was reform or innovation, Liu Shi would leave the decision to Lin Yuan.


    But all of this was contingent on Lin Yuan knowing how to be an emperor.


    If he knew nothing and made decisions solely based on personal preferences, wouldn''t Liu Shi be delivering Great Yan into the hands of an ipetent ruler?


    Therefore, Lin Yuan was designated as the Crown Prince when he turned five.


    Starting from the heir to the throne, he began his education.


    Lin Yuan did not disappoint Liu Shi''s expectations. He started reading and writing at the age of three or four.


    At six years old, he left the highly educated Prime Minister speechless.


    It was noteworthy that Lin Yuan''s Prime Minister was a top schr, not only born as a top schr, but also hailing from a family renowned in the Great Yan Dynasty''s literary world.


    Such a person, regardless of the era, was someone who couldy the foundation for literature and leave asting legacy.


    As a result, this schr was left dumbfounded by a five-year-old child, causing quite a stir among schrs outside.


    In the imperial court.


    Prime Minister, with a helpless expression,ined to Emperor Liu Shi,


    "Your Majesty, I really don''t know how to teach him."


    "What''s going on? Has Yuan''er made you angry again?" Emperor Liu Shi immediately asked with concern.


    In order to persuade the Prime Minister to teach Lin Yuan, Liu Shi had exerted considerable effort.


    After all, threatening schrs with their lives would not work.


    Most schrs, especially those pursuing literary fame, weed death bestowed by the emperor because it guaranteed a ce in history.


    Meanwhile, the emperor might have to bear some not-so-positive historical evaluations.


    Moreover, with the Prime Minister standing behind him, a majority of schrs in the Great Yan Dynasty would be affected.


    A move affecting a part would impact the whole.


    Since the direct approach didn''t work, it was time for a softer approach.


    After Emperor Liu Shi made various promises and painted grand visions, the Prime Minister finally agreed to teach Lin Yuan.


    However, what Emperor Liu Shi didn''t anticipate was that within a year, the Prime Minister was considering quitting?


    "If it''s just about making me angry, then there''s nothing much to it."


    The Prime Minister sighed lightly. He had lived for decades and encountered all sorts of students.


    His mindset was already extremely calm. Even when dealing with troublesome students, he was confident in correcting them.


    However, Lin Yuan was not troublesome at all. Instead, he could be considered remarkably talented.


    All the concepts taught by the Prime Minister were easily understood by Lin Yuan without any doubt.


    This initially left the Prime Minister waiting for Lin Yuan to raise questions in confusion.


    "I exined it once, and you understood?"


    Then, what do I need to do?


    At first, the Prime Minister thought Lin Yuan was pretending not to understand.


    So he carefully prepared some questions with the intention of exposing Lin Yuan.


    However, what the Prime Minister didn''t anticipate was that Lin Yuan not only exined his questions but also expanded on many aspects that the Prime Minister hadn''t considered.


    This unexpected turn of events turned into a nightmare for the Prime Minister.


    In the subsequent teaching sessions, the Prime Minister became nothing more than a tool.


    He only needed to read the contents of those ssics; there was no need for him to exin how to interpret them.


    Lin Yuan understood the meaning after hearing it once.


    Moreover, Lin Yuan sometimes noticed the Prime Minister''s confusion and would reinterpret more obscure content for him.


    After hearing these reinterpretations, the Prime Minister felt enlightened, realizing that he had wasted decades of reading.


    This led to a strange scene.


    In front of the bookshelf, the elderly Prime Minister seemed more like a student, spending most of his time listening attentively.


    Meanwhile, the few-year-old Lin Yuan spoke eloquently, revealing many unknown facets of countless sage texts throughout history.


    Most importantly, the Prime Minister surprisingly found Lin Yuan''s words very reasonable.


    Countless sages and scriptures throughout history, when spoken by Lin Yuan, revealed many unknown aspects.


    Although the Prime Minister was fascinated by this feeling, he immediately realized that this couldn''t continue.


    If he continued to stay with Lin Yuan, he might not be able to resist bowing to him as a teacher.


    Even if he restrained this thought, what would other passing pce maids and eunuchs think?


    Was he teaching Lin Yuan, or was Lin Yuan teaching him?


    Precisely because of this, the Prime Minister formally resigned early in the morning and sought an audience with Emperor Liu Shi.


    He really couldn''t face it anymore.


    "What do you mean by this, Prime Minister?"


    Emperor Liu Shi sat on the dragon throne, carefully examining the Prime Minister.


    Initially, he thought the Prime Minister came toin or perhaps wanted to raise some conditions.


    However, after looking for a while, he found that the bitterness and helplessness on the Prime Minister''s face were not a facade but genuine.


    This made Emperor Liu Shi very curious. What had his son done to make the esteemed Prime Minister, a literary giant, show such an expression?


    "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince''s grasp of the situation and his approach to major matters far surpasses the old minister."


    "We ordinary folks have no qualifications to teach him."


    The Prime Minister said with a bitter smile.


    "Surpasses you?!"


    Emperor Liu Shi blinked.


    Being praised like this by the Prime Minister, a literary giant, would probably be a joy for anyone else.


    But for Liu Shi, his six-year-old son?


    Couldn''t you praise him in a more reliable way?


    Emperor Liu Shi suddenly felt like the Prime Minister might be ying with him.


    "If the Prime Minister wants to propose other conditions, feel free to do so. No need to be hesitant."


    Emperor Liu Shi frowned slightly, showing some dissatisfaction.


    Hearing this, the Prime Minister smiled with difficulty.


    If it weren''t for personal experience, he himself would think he was taking advantage of the situation to propose conditions.


    But that was really not the case.


    The Prime Minister breathed a sigh of relief.


    Then he said solemnly:


    "With my virtue, I am no longer worthy of teaching the Crown Prince."


    In order to make Emperor Liu Shi believe in what he was saying, the Prime Minister had already begun to abandon his dignity, directly admitting that he was not as good as Lin Yuan.


    "The Prime Minister''s words..."


    Emperor Liu Shi was slightly surprised.


    It''s crucial to note that schrs value their reputation the most, striving not just for fame in their lifetime but for asting legacy. Especially for someone like the Prime Minister, a literary giant, even if he was unwilling to teach Lin Yuan, he wouldn''t openly admit that he was inferior to a six-year-old mischievous child. Acknowledging oneself as inferior to such a child would be a significant blow to the reputation of any schr, particrly one of the Prime Minister''s stature.


    "Prime Minister, what do you mean by this?"


    Emperor Liu Shi remained silent for a while before finally speaking.


    "I, as the Prime Minister, have ushered in a Holy Emperor for the Great Yan Dynasty."


    "Holy Emperor?"


    Emperor Liu Shi found it somewhat unbelievable.


    Since ancient times, the highest praise for an emperor has been "Holy Emperor." Emperor Liu Shi did not expect the Prime Minister to hold such a high opinion of Lin Yuan, predicting him to be a Holy Emperor even before ascending to the throne.


    "Your Majesty, the old minister takes his leave."


    The Prime Minister, seeing that Emperor Liu Shi didn''t respond, bowed and took his leave.


    Emperor Liu Shi did not stop him, silently watching the Prime Minister leave the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Once the Prime Minister hadpletely left, Emperor Liu Shi waved his hand, dismissing the attending pce maids and eunuchs.


    Alone in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Emperor Liu Shi sat there, lost in thought.


    After a while, unrestrainedughter echoed from the Hall of Supreme Harmony.


    "Hahaha?!"


    "My son, Liu Shi, will be a Holy Emperor?!"


    "Hahaha!!!"


    "May our ancestors bless us! May our ancestors bless us!"


    "I, Liu Shi, will also have a Holy Emperor as my son?!"


    "Heaven bless Great Yan! Heaven bless Great Yan!"


    "Hahaha!!!"


    Emperor Liu Shi''sughter reverberated through the hall as he contemted the unexpected prospect of having a son who might be a Holy Emperor.

 Chapter 66

    Chapter 66


    [Name: Liu Yuan (Lin Yuan)]


    [Identity: Guardian of the Gate of Myriad Realms]


    [Bound Talent: Unrivaled Insight]


    [Current State: Conscious Descent]


    [Remaining Residency Time: 154 years]


    In the Eastern Pce, Lin Yuan nced at the panel of the Gate of Myriad Realms. Unconsciously, he had spent six years in this world.


    During these six years, Lin Yuan had enjoyed an incrediblyfortable life, getting whatever he wanted.


    With the Emperor Liu Shi''s favor towards him, if Lin Yuan asked for the stars in the sky, Emperor Liu Shi would probably consider it.


    After a moment of contemtion, Lin Yuan walked out of the Eastern Pce and arrived in front of a wooden tower deep within the imperial pce.


    The tower appeared extremely ordinary, but there were numerous imperial guards patrolling nearby. Lin Yuan did not hesitate and walked straight toward the entrance of the tower.


    "Greetings, Crown Prince."


    "Greetings, Crown Prince Your Highness."


    When the patrol guards saw Lin Yuan, they immediately saluted respectfully. As the sole heir of the current emperor, Lin Yuan had been conferred the title of Crown Prince at the age of five, an extremely rare urrence in the history of the Great Yan Dynasty.


    Even legitimate eldest sons usually received such a title only after reaching adulthood, and even then, they were often subject to the emperor''s caution.


    If not for Lin Yuan''s young age, Emperor Liu Shi would probably have Lin Yuan serve as a regent to familiarize him with imperial duties.


    Lin Yuan entered the wooden tower. This was a forbidden ce within the Great Yan Dynasty, containing the most powerful martial arts and secrets.


    A few years ago, Lin Yuan had requested Emperor Liu Shi''s permission to explore the tower. Emperor Liu Shi readily agreed, thinking that Lin Yuan''s curiosity would wane after a short time.


    However, Emperor Liu Shi could never have imagined that, in less than two years, Lin Yuan wouldprehend and master all the martial arts and secrets stored in the tower, even innovating upon them.


    "The cultivation system of this world."


    Lin Yuan found a ce to sit down, his expression entering a brief contemtion. In the Great Yan Dynasty and the entire Central ins with its thirty-six states, the essence of the cultivation system was simr.


    It was divided into seven stages: Flesh Refinement, Tendon Cultivation, Skin Refinement, Bone Refinement, Organ Cultivation, Marrow Refinement, and finally, Blood Refinement.


    Corresponding to these stages were the realms: Martial Novice, Martial Disciple, Martial Warrior, Martial Master, Innate Martial Master, Grandmaster, and Martial Saint.


    In simple terms, ''Flesh Refinement'' corresponds to Martial Novice, ''Tendon Cultivation'' to Martial Disciple, ''Skin Refinement'' to Martial Warrior, ''Bone Refinement'' to Martial Master, ''Organ Cultivation'' to Innate Martial Master, ''Marrow Refinement'' to Grandmaster, and ''Blood Refinement'' to Martial Saint.


    ording to Lin Yuan''s judgment, the strongest ''Blood Refinement'' Martial Saint, whose qi and blood were fully integrated, was equivalent to the second-rank pinnacle level of the main world.


    However, Lin Yuan sensed that something was amiss.


    That is the cultivation system of the Central ins'' thirty-six states at its core, merely refining the physical body and strengthening the blood and qi. As for the soul and spirit, there is not the slightest involvement.


    It''s worth noting that even in the first world Lin Yuan traversed, spiritual powers were being developed at the Grandmaster level. It didn''t make sense for a ''Blood Refinement'' Martial Saint,parable to a second-rank pinnacle, topletely ignore such powers.


    "Warrior Commander."


    Lin Yuan muttered to himself.


    The cultivation system from Martial Novice to Martial Saint was just themon path for regr people. In this world, there was another system of cultivation - bing a "Warrior Commander."


    A Warrior Commander could activate divine weapons, and these divine weapons were the most powerful "existences" in this world. Each of the thirty-six states in the Central ins had a Guardian Divine Weapon. The power of divine weapons was unstoppable by mere mortals.


    When a Warrior Commander activated a divine weapon, even a slight trace of its power could easily crush tens or hundreds of Blood Refinement Martial Saints.


    This was the reason Emperor Liu Shi, upon learning of Lin Yuan''s potential to be a Holy Emperor, was much more excited than when Lin Yuan first showed signs of robust physique and constitution.


    No matter how strong the physical body and constitution were, it would only lead to bing a Blood Refinement Martial Saint in the future. What impact could Blood Refinement Martial Saints have on the overall situation in the face of a Warrior Commander?


    However, not everyone could be a Warrior Commander. To be one, one needed the recognition of a divine weapon. Additionally, the lifespan of each Warrior Commander was not long, and very few could live past forty years.


    This situation led the thirty-six states in the Central ins to always have a reserve of potential Warrior Commanders. Even so, asional periods of vacancy among Warrior Commanders could still ur.


    Currently, the Great Yan Dynasty was facing such a situation. However, with divine weapons in ce and the treaties signed among the thirty-six states, there would be no major issues in the short term.


    "The strength of a Warrior Commanderes from the divine weapon. Just a slight release of aura can easily crush tens or hundreds of Martial Saints. The power of divine weapons is at least at the third stage, perhaps even quasi-fourth stage."


    Lin Yuan spected in his mind. With his discerning eyes, he naturally saw that the so-called "Warrior Commander" was just a puppet. The real powerful entity was the divine weapon itself.


    Lin Yuan stood up and walked to a bookshelf deep within the wooden tower. He took down an ancient and worn-out scroll.


    The scroll recorded bits of information about divine weapons. This was one of the few sources Lin Yuan had on understanding divine weapons.


    As for directly asking Emperor Liu Shi about it, it would be straightforward, except when it involved divine weapons. Emperor Liu Shi seemed to be reluctant to let his son know too much about divine weapons at such an early age.


    Lin Yuan slowly flipped through the ancient scroll. Even though he had memorized the contents long ago, it still stirred ripples in his heart.


    "The thirty-six states in the Central ins each have a Guardian Divine Weapon.


    Although it seems peaceful, every divine weapon requires arge number of living sacrifices. If it cannot be satisfied, all thirty-six divine weapons will actively ''revive'' and seek sacrifices.


    At that time, it will be a cmity for all living beings. I wonder if these are divine weapons or..."


    Thest part of the content in the scroll seemed to have been erased. Butbining the context above and below, Lin Yuan easily deduced what had been erased.


    "I wonder whether these are divine weapons or demonic weapons."


    Lin Yuan closed the scroll and ced it back on the bookshelf. The tower housed tens of thousands, if not millions, of scrolls and books. This particr one was tucked away deep inside, making it highly unlikely for ordinary people to stumble upon it.


    Only Lin Yuan, with his Unrivaled Insight, had the time to explore these misceneous records afterprehending all the martial arts secrets in the wooden tower.


    "Divine weapons."


    Lin Yuan furrowed his brows. There was no specific record about the origin of divine weapons in the books within the tower. It seemed that they were somehow rted to the ancient era tens of thousands of years ago.


    All divine weapons were said to have originated during that time. However, the details of their creation and how they shaped the current situation were unknown.


    The passage of ten thousand years made it difficult to trace the past.


    While the main world was rtively stable, having entered the space age with the ability to pass down information through data, the world Lin Yuan currently found himself in was different. Even a slight disturbance or catastrophe could lead to ''discontinuity.''


    "This world..."


    Lin Yuan''s face revealed a hint of curiosity. Divine weapons required living sacrifices, and the more abundant the life force, the better.


    However, the mainstream cultivation system in this world solely focused on refining the physical body and enhancing blood and qi.


    Each aspect, individually, might not be peculiar, but Lin Yuan immediately sensed something else when they werebined.


    "This world''s people should be confined by the so-called ''divine weapons.''"


    "The thirty-six states in the Central ins are like thirty-six enclosures, and all the people are livestock waiting to be consumed by the ''divine weapons.''"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. He almost confirmed that the cultivation system, from Martial Novice to Martial Saint, was undoubtedly influenced by the ''divine weapons.'' Otherwise, it wouldn''t be so ''abnormal.''


    ...

 Chapter 67

    Chapter 67


    Weapons possessing spirituality didn''t surprise Lin Yuan.


    In the Dragon and Tiger World, the True Martial Sword had its own spirituality.


    However, in this world, divine weapons began to herd humans, consuming them periodically.


    This wasn''t just spirituality; it was sentience.


    Thirty-six divine weapons equated to thirty-six quasi-fourth or even fourth-rank powerhouses. If they joined forces, massacring all human races would be a trivial matter.


    But these thirty-six divine weapons refrained from doing so. Instead, they opted for sustainable development and found their spokespersonsmembers of the royal families of the thirty-six central nations.


    They supported their spokespersons, managing the masses of cattle. Every once in a while, suitable livestock were selected for consumption, forming a well-established process.


    Just from this, Lin Yuan concluded that not only did divine weapons possess sentience, but their intelligence was also considerable.


    "However, I''m not in immediate danger," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Even among livestock, there were hierarchical distinctions. For someone like Lin Yuan, chosen by the divine weapons as their spokesperson within the Great Yan Imperial Family, his status was undoubtedly the highest. Even if he couldn''t escape the fate of being consumed, he would be thest to be devoured.


    "As long as my strength is formidable, even divine weapons can be shattered with a single punch," Lin Yuan exhaled a breath of relief as he left the wooden tower.


    The living beings of this world were influenced by the divine weapons in their cultivation systems. Despite their outstanding talents, they could only reach the level of Martial Saints. Faced with the lofty divine weapons, they were nothing more than delicious food.


    But Lin Yuan was different. His foundation didn''te from this world, remaining unaffected by the influence of divine weapons.


    Returning to the Eastern Pce, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    "Today, I can fully restore my strength."


    Lin Yuan''s gaze lowered. After six years in this world, he had been regrly taking various supplements. In secret, he had already recovered almost entirely.


    In fact, given Lin Yuan''s cultivation speed, he could have fully recovered within five years. However, this world''s cultivation system had given him inspiration.


    Although the system of refining the body through stagesflesh, tendons, skin, bones, organs, marrow, and finally bloodwas somewhat abnormal, it was perfect for forging the body.


    Every part of the body was thoroughly tempered.


    Lin Yuan had spent over a year integrating this unique cultivation system into his martial arts practice.


    "Almost there."


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes, and his body underwent profound changes.


    After half a day, Lin Yuan sessfully restored his strength to the third rank.


    At this moment, Lin Yuan''sbat power surpassed his peak in the main world. Currently, he had perfected the transformation method for the body that he hadprehended from Lon He, and he seamlessly absorbed the body refining technique from this world.


    In terms of physicality, he now exceeded the peak of the main world by a considerable margin.


    "Take it slowly," Lin Yuan''s gaze remained calm.


    ording to his spection, each of the thirty-six national divine weapons in the Central ins possessed at least quasi-fourth-rank, or even true fourth-rank, strength.


    Inparison to these divine weapons, Lin Yuan was currently inferior.


    One day, after finishing his cultivation, Lin Yuan saw his seventh sister waiting for him.


    Lin Yuan''s seventh sister, more urately, his half-sister, was the seventh princess of the Great Yan Imperial Family.


    Despite being half-siblings, their rtionship was amicable, often meeting and chatting.


    "Little Yuan, I''m going to the Divine Weapon Ancestral Land with the other sisterster," his seventh sister suddenly sounded concerned.


    "The Divine Weapon Ancestral Land?" Lin Yuan''s expression remained unchanged.


    The Divine Weapon Ancestral Land was where the national divine weapon of the Great Yan Imperial Family slumbered.


    As for why his seventh sister and other princesses were going there, it was likely rted to cultivating ''Warrior Commander.''


    To be a Warrior Commander, one needed the recognition of the divine weapon. It inevitably required close contact with the divine weapon.


    Traditionally, candidates for Warrior Commander in the Great Yan Imperial Family were chosen from the imperial descendants. After all, the short lifespan of Warrior Commanders wasn''t a secret. If the reigning emperor had a choice, they would not send their own children.


    However, the Great Yan Imperial Family faced a shortage of Warrior Commander.


    After all the imperial descendants had been tested and none had been chosen, Emperor Liu Shi had no choice but to send his own daughters.


    Of course, this was limited to daughters. Princes like Lin Yuan were absolutely not eligible to be Warrior Commander. Being a Warrior Commander meant prolonged proximity to the divine weapon and a short life, eliminating any chance of ascending the throne.


    "It shouldn''t be a problem," Lin Yuan reassured her.


    "I hope so" his seventh sister''s eyes reddened.


    Although she didn''t know what the fate of a Warrior Commander entailed, the Great Yan Imperial Family selected a new Warrior Commander every thirty to forty years. It was evident that the previous Warrior Commander had most likely perished.


    Half a dayter, his seventh sister came back to find Lin Yuan in tears.


    "Little brother, II''ve been chosen" her voice was hoarse, tinged with fear.


    Not long after, the imperial guards entered, paid their respects to Lin Yuan, and escorted his seventh sister away.


    She didn''t resist; being chosen by a divine weapon meant her fate was already sealed. Even the emperor couldn''t change it. She appeared here solely because she wanted to see Lin Yuan onest time.


    "Divine weapons... do they prefer those with powerful souls?" Lin Yuan watched his seventh sister leave, pondering quickly.


    Compared to other imperial family members, his seventh sister had a naturally strong spiritual soul. Specifically, she had an excellent memory and was always energetic with little sleep.


    As to why divine weapons liked such qualitiesperhaps, to divine weapons, those cultivators with vigorous life forces were just ordinary food. Individuals with powerful souls were a gourmet feast, and that might be why every Warrior Commander had a short lifespan.


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts surged as he began to specte on why divine weapons didn''t release the shackles on the soul and spirit in their cultivation systems.


    "Once the physical body and soul cultivate together, there is a chance of giving birth to an existence surpassing Martial Saints. Over time, it may even shake the ''dominance'' of the divine weapons."


    "Yuan''er, your seventh sister being chosen by a divine weapon is her honor and also a good thing for our Great Yan Imperial Family" Emperor Liu Shi found Lin Yuan and whispered.


    Although the crisis of the Great Yan Imperial Family''s Warrior Commander ''generational gap'' had been resolved, Emperor Liu Shi''s mood wasn''t good.


    He naturally knew what bing a Warrior Commander meant. If it were any other imperial descendant, he would have turned a blind eye.


    But when it came to his own daughter...


    Even so, Emperor Liu Shi had no regrets.


    Despite the constraints of the alliance, even if the Great Yan Imperial Family didn''t have a Warrior Commander for a short time, it wouldn''t cause any serious consequences. However, a dynasty with a Warrior Commander and one without were entirely different concepts.


    When negotiating with other Central ins dynasties, if the Great Yan Imperial Family didn''t have a Warrior Commander, it was destined to be at a disadvantage. Facing other powerful dynasties, the Great Yan Imperial Family would undoubtedly suffer various setbacks, perhaps even having to sign some humiliating alliances.


    While Warrior Commander might not need to invoke divine weapons, their presence alone served as a significant deterrent.


    You could choose not to use it, but you couldn''t afford not to have it.


    Now that the seventh princess had be a Warrior Commander, it meant the Great Yan Imperial Family''s most significant weakness had been addressed. There would likely be no major issues in the next thirty to forty years.


    As for the personal emotions of the seventh princess...


    As a princess of the dynasty, the seventh princess had lived a life of luxury since birth, always above tens of thousands. After enjoying so much, if she had to make sacrifices during the crisis facing the Great Yan Imperial Family, what was there to hesitate about?


    "Yuan''er, I know you have a good rtionship with Little Seven."


    "But if we can cultivate a ''Warrior Commander'' it''s worth any sacrifice."


    Emperor Liu Shi consoled Lin Yuan. He had specificallye over, fearing Lin Yuan might have unwarranted thoughts.


    After all, he also knew about the rtionship between Lin Yuan and the seventh princess.


    "Father Emperor, actually..."


    Lin Yuan fell silent for a moment.


    "Actually, what?" Emperor Liu Shi''s spirit trembled slightly. He was curious about Lin Yuan''s perspective on the matter. It was also a kind of test by Emperor Liu Shi.


    If Lin Yuan still harbored reluctance towards the seventh princess, Emperor Liu Shi would be very disappointed.


    Ordinary people could cherish sibling rtionships, but emperors could not. If an emperor wavered due to personal feelings, it would be a disaster for the entire country.


    As the future Great Yan Emperor and the father of millions of subjects, Lin Yuan''s perspective should be from the standpoint of the entire Great Yan Imperial Family. If he could secure decades of stability for the Great Yan Imperial Family, even if it meant sacrificing not just one princess but ten or a hundred, Liu Shi would not hesitate.


    "In fact, there''s no need to cultivate a Warrior Commander."


    Lin Yuan looked at Emperor Liu Shi.


    "Give me time, and I will surpass the Warrior Commander."

    Chapter 68


    Listening to Lin Yuan''s words, Emperor Liu Shi was momentarily stunned in ce.


    He had considered various responsessomething more normal, pleading for seventh princess''s sake. Or perhaps expanding the selection range, attempting to prevent seventh princess from bing a "Warrior Commander".


    Alternatively, adopting a more ruthless stance and approving Emperor Liu Shi''s actions. As a royal offspring, sacrificing for the country was as normal as it got.


    However, Liu Shi never imagined that Lin Yuan''s response would be this.


    "No need to cultivate a Warrior Commander. Give me time, and I will surpass the Warrior Commander."


    It should be noted that every "Warrior Commander" had a Divine Weapon standing behind them. And in the thirty-six countries of the Central ins, Divine Weapons were regarded as gods. Surpassing the Warrior Commanders was akin to surpassing the Divine Weapons themselves.


    Such a statement, if spread, would likely make the Great Yan Dynasty the focus of the entire Central ins. At that time, the court would be in turmoil, and Lin Yuan''s position as the Crown Prince might even be in jeopardy.


    Of course, Emperor Liu Shi, as Lin Yuan''s father, would never let such words be spread.


    "Yuan''er, your ambitions are truly vast," Emperor Liu Shi sighed.


    If Lin Yuan were already in his thirties or forties and had witnessed the might of Divine Weapons, uttering such words would undoubtedly be seen as overestimating oneself. The higher one stood, the clearer the understanding of what Divine Weapons represented.


    However, Lin Yuan was only six years old.


    What was wrong with a six-year-old child having some unrealistic aspirations?


    "When I was six, I wanted to shoot down the sun from the sky," Emperor Liu Shi chuckled.


    "However, Yuan''er, don''t mention these words to anyone else, even the closest servants" Emperor Liu Shi reminded after praising Lin Yuan.


    As the Crown Prince, he had to be cautious with his words and actions. Despite Emperor Liu Shi''s favoritism toward Lin Yuan, there were certain matters rted to Divine Weapons that couldn''t be touched.


    "I understand," Lin Yuan nced at Emperor Liu Shi, realizing that thetter didn''t take his words to heart.


    Lin Yuan had anticipated this and wasn''t surprised.


    Next, Emperor Liu Shi chatted with Lin Yuan for a while before taking his leave.


    Watching Emperor Liu Shi''s departing figure, Lin Yuan remained calm. With his current abilities, if he revealed strength surpassing that of a Martial Saint, there was a high chance of gaining Emperor Liu Shi''s trust.


    However, such a move came with significant risks. The main issue was that Liu Shi, as the emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty, had a deep connection to Divine Weapons. If Lin Yuan revealed abilities surpassing the Warrior Commanders, it could lead to unforeseen consequences.


    Once Lin Yuan reveals his strength, it is possible to rm that divine weapon, leading to irreversible consequences. It should be noted that divine weapons feed on the human race.


    The stronger the human''s strength and vitality, the more "delicious" it is for divine weapons. Individuals with powerful innate souls are considered a "feast" by divine weapons, binding them as "Warrior Commanders" to savor slowly.


    Considering Lin Yuan''s strength in both vigorous vitality and a powerful soul, who among the thirty-six countries of the Central ins can surpass him?


    It can be anticipated that once Lin Yuan''s aura leaks, the divine weapon of the Great Yan Dynasty will undoubtedly go into a frenzy. Not only that divine weapon, but the national divine weapons of the other thirty-five countries will also collectively "awaken," sharing the feast of Lin Yuan.


    Therefore, even before learning about the "divine weapon," Lin Yuan tried to minimize the number of times he used his abilities.


    Even if he had to take action, he had to stay far away from the divine weapon''s resting ce and people like Emperor Liu Shi, who had been close to divine weapons.


    Not because Liu Shi would betray his son, but there were some things that Liu Shi couldn''t know. He might not even know what exactly happened to Lin Yuan.


    "Having perfectly integrated the cultivation system of this world into my martial path, my current realm surpasses that of a ''Martial Saint.'' Let''s call this realm ''Martial God'' Lin Yuan thought silently as he sat cross-legged.


    The Martial God Realm had transcended the shackles of the physical body and demonstrated incredible achievements in the realm of "divinity".


    The principles of Tai Chi transformed into a millstone, constantly refining his own "divinity." If ced in the main world, the Martial God Realm would probably be equivalent to the third rank, second stage to the third stage.


    Lin Yuan''s cultivation system, based on the physical body, the principles of Tai Chi as the framework, and the blood and flesh from countless evolution paths in the main world, was now further enriched by integrating the perfect body refining method of this world.


    This was akin to absorbing all the advantages of various cultivation systems from different worlds.


    "However, the next step I want to take won''t be so easy," Lin Yuan opened his eyes and thought to himself.


    In just six years since arriving in this world, Lin Yuan had stepped into the Martial God Realm, mainly relying on the umtion from his travels.


    If he hadn''t wasted some time on integrating the perfect body refining method of this world, Lin Yuan would have entered the Martial God Realm one or two years earlier. But these advantages reached their limit, and the path ahead required Lin Yuan to continue exploring.


    Even with his unparalleled insight, the efficiency of his future cultivation would not surpass the initial six years upon arriving.


    "I will stay a hundred and sixty years in this world, and only six years have passed. I''m not in a hurry." Lin Yuan closed his eyes and continued to cultivate.


    The divine weapon was in the light, Lin Yuan was in the shadow. As long as Lin Yuan didn''t actively court death, the divine weapon couldn''t possibly detect his true strength.


    As Lin Yuan possessed the unrivaled insight, his strength was constantly improving every moment. Even with significant constraints and bottlenecks, it only required a bit more time.


    Along with the Great Yan Dynasty cultivating new "Warrior Commanders" the situation among the thirty-six countries in the Central ins stabilized once again.


    In negotiations with other countries, the Great Yan Dynasty regained its confidence. With external threats eliminated, the focus shifted to internal governance.


    Emperor Liu Shi was not an ipetent ruler. With Lin Yuan''s asional reminders and the gradual increase in the Great Yan Dynasty''s national strength, Emperor Liu Shi managed to stabilize the empire.


    Lin Yuan actively proposed strengthening trade with other nations and opening various trade routes, enriching the lives of the Great Yan Dynasty''s citizens.


    Lin Yuan received widespread support from the people, and his actions showed that the Great Yan Dynasty could prosper for at least another generation.


    Recognizing the potential for dynasties to rise and fall due to ipetent rulers, Lin Yuan, with his capabilities and political acumen, was fully capable of seeding the current emperor.


    The entire court respected Lin Yuan, especially after the Grand Tutor admitted in front of Emperor Liu Shi that he was inferior to Lin Yuan. Attempting to salvage their pride, the courtiers had no choice but to praise Lin Yuan excessively.


    It wasn''t a matter of them being ipetent; Lin Yuan was just too extraordinary. If you think you can do better, then go ahead. Initially, some courtiers were unconvinced.


    How could a child of that age achieve such feats? The Grand Tutor was indeed getting old; he should retire. However, these courtiers were left speechless when confronted by Lin Yuan. After witnessing Lin Yuan''s capabilities and methods, his prestige naturally rose.


    Emperor Liu Shi silently observed Lin Yuan, his face unable to conceal the growing satisfaction. In terms of governing people and maintaining bnce, his son was truly remarkable.


    Back when he pacified the courtiers, it took a considerable effort. Although Emperor Liu Shi''s ession to the throne was unconventional, Lin Yuan, at his young age, disyed an exceptional talent for leadership.


    As time passed, twenty years went by in this manner.

 Chapter 69

    Chapter 69


    Beyond the capital of the Great Yan Dynasty, a thousand miles away.


    Inside an inconspicuous mountain valley.


    A young man sat cross-legged.


    Before himy arge quantity of precious spirit medicines.


    These spirit medicines were all rare treasures; even a random one would be enough to make a "Blood Refining" Martial Saint envious.


    But at this moment, they were piled in front of him likemon weeds.


    If a minister of the Great Yan Dynasty were present, they would notice thatpared to the abundance of spirit medicines, the young man sitting cross-legged before them was even more hair-raising.


    Because this young man was none other than the actual ruler of the current Great Yan Dynasty.


    Not the emperor, but rather the Crown Prince Liu Yuan, who was more powerful than the emperor.


    "I have achieved perfection in the Martial God realm; it''s time to break through to the next stage."


    Inside the valley, Lin Yuan''s eyes were calm as he looked at the numerous spirit medicines before him.


    In twenty years, Lin Yuan hadpleted the "Martial God" stage, relying on his unrivaled insight to deduce the specific path of the next stage.


    However, in Lin Yuan''s predictions, breaking through the "Martial God" stage might lead to the leakage of his aura and be detected by divine weapons.


    Therefore, before the breakthrough, he deliberately came to this remote location.


    This valley was thousands of miles away from the capital of the Great Yan Dynasty and over twelve hundred miles from the divine weapon ancestralnd of the Great Yan Dynasty.


    Such a remote distance was enough to conceal Lin Yuan''s movements during the breakthrough.


    "Let''s begin."


    Lin Yuan breathed out lightly.


    All the precious spirit medicines before him turned into powder, and the most essential parts flowed into Lin Yuan''s mouth.


    Exhale! Inhale! With each breath, profound changes urred within his body, and his essence, energy, and spirit began to transform, condense, and ascend to the utmost.


    Hum! The terrifying aura spread uncontrobly in all directions.


    For a moment, all the small animals in the valley felt an overwhelming suffocating sensation.


    As if the heavens and earth were copsing, and divine beings were descending.


    Fortunately, this suffocating feelingsted only a moment.


    Half an hourter, all the auraspletely converged.


    "This is the Celestial Realm?"


    Inside the valley, Lin Yuan stood up, carefully feeling the substantial increase in power within his body.


    Above the Martial God is the Celestial Realm.


    The "god" in Martial God refers to the spirit, a spiritual essence that all cultivators in this world have not yet touched.


    While the Celestial Realm transcends the Martial God.


    "The Tao of Tai Chi."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts subtly moved.


    An invisible fluctuation spread, easily covering a range of over ten miles around him.


    Before the breakthrough, Lin Yuan''s Tai Chi field could only cover a few miles.


    Now, it had directly increased several times, enveloping nearly twenty miles.


    In addition, the Tai Chi field not only expanded in range but also increased in suppressing and binding power several times.


    Now, if Lin Yuan were to battle a third-rank evolver, he could directly suppress the opponent with the Tai Chi field, leaving no chance for resistance.


    Apart from the Tai Chi field, Lin Yuan''s physical body, soul, and blood and spirit had also undergone qualitative changes.


    "This breakthrough has enhanced my strength."


    Lin Yuan sighed lightly, satisfaction showing on his face.


    "It''s gettingte."


    "It''s about time to go back."


    Lin Yuan walked out of the valley.


    Wherever he went, the air subtly distorted, and ordinary people could not detect Lin Yuan.


    With the ability of the Tai Chi field, as long as he slightly distorted the light, he could achieve an "invisible" effect.


    Of course, this kind of "invisibility" had little effect on true powerhouses.


    The perception of the strong was no longer solely reliant on sight.


    Eastern Pce.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared silently.


    Not long after, a eunuch cautiously walked in.


    "Your Highness, this is what you requested."


    The eunuch respectfully presented a sealed letter.


    Lin Yuan took the letter, nced at it, and turned it into powder.


    In the past twenty years, in addition to advancing his strength and opening up the Celestial Realm, Lin Yuan, using his transcendent insight, established a vast intelligencework, exploring the trade routes of the thirty-six central states and secretly building a massive intelligence force.


    This matter was unknown even to Emperor Liu Shi. Only the eunuch, whose life and death were controlled by Lin Yuan, knew a thing or two about it within the entire imperial pce.


    As for the purpose of establishing the intelligence force, it was naturally to investigate the divine weapons.


    As representatives of the divine weapons, most of the imperial family''s descendants were loyal to the divine weapons. Relying on the power of the imperial family to investigate the divine weapons would be fruitless.


    Only by establishing his own force and cultivating wings could Lin Yuan hope to learn more about the divine weapons.


    Actually, Lin Yuan didn''t harbor any ill will towards the divine weapons; after all, there was no personal enmity between them. But unfortunately, the divine weapons always seemed intent on consuming him.


    In the eyes of the divine weapons, everyone was food, and Lin Yuan was a delicacy. The two positions were irreconcble.


    Over the course of twenty years, Lin Yuan''s understanding of the divine weapons had far surpassed the first six years when they arrived.


    Firstly, there was the origin of the divine weapons. Most of it was myth, without concrete evidence. The specific rumor was that tens of thousands of years ago, in ancient times, divine beings walked the world and eventually forged the divine weapons. Moreover, at that time, they didn''t just create thirty-six pieces; there were more. However, due to some unknown incident, only thirty-six divine weapons remained, each guarding one of the thirty-six countries, forming the current situation.


    "Thousands of years ago?" "Ancient divine beings?"


    Lin Yuan rubbed his chin, deep in thought. In Lin Yuan''s view, the so-called ancient divine beings were nothing more than powerful Evolvers. However, why did this ancient divine being forge these intelligent divine weapons remained unexined.


    For the past thousands of years, the ancient divine being who forged the divine weapons had disappeared without a trace.


    This also puzzled Lin Yuan. Such a powerful being, even if their lifespan had reached its limit, would at least leave behind specific legends.


    "If I can capture a divine weapon and ''scan its soul.''"


    Lin Yuan had an idea. Since the divine weapons had developed consciousness and souls, ''scanning the soul'' involved using his powerful mental strength to forcibly browse the opponent''s memories.


    But this idea was quickly rejected by Lin Yuan. ording to his current understanding of the divine weapons,bined with the scenes from the few times the divine weapons revived in history, Lin Yuan inferred that each of the central thirty-six state''s guardian divine weapons possessed power close to the quasi-fourth rank.


    Such strength was beyond what Lin Yuan could handle at the moment. Perhaps reaching the perfect Celestial Realm rank would allow him to reach the quasi-fourth rank. Even so, it would still be on par with the divine weapons.


    Attempting to capture a divine weapon would undoubtedly create a huge disturbance, attracting the attention of other divine weapons.


    At that time, Lin Yuan might find himself facing thirty-six divine weapons at once.


    "How is the investigation by the Anti-God Society going?"


    Lin Yuan asked casually.


    The Anti-God Society was an extremely secretive underground organization.


    Its active range covered the entire central thirty-six states.


    If it weren''t for the intelligence force Lin Yuan established, which once captured traces of the Anti-God Society, it would have been challenging to discover information about this organization.


    The purpose of the Anti-God Society was to overthrow the rule of the divine weapons.


    For thousands of years, the divine weapons had been feeding on the beings below them, inevitably causing some to resist.


    However, the might of the divine weapons was unmatched.


    These people can only hide in the shadows, establishing the Anti-God Society and waiting for the right moment. Lin Yuan aims to obtain specific information about the divine weapons through the Anti-God Society.


    As an organization that has been opposing the divine weapons for thousands of years, the Anti-God Society undoubtedly holds many secrets about the divine weapons.


    And these are precisely what Lin Yuan needs. Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy is the key to victory. The more Lin Yuan understands the divine weapons, the more confident he bes.


    "Reporting to Your Highness, we have located the approximate range of the Anti-God Society''s main headquarters in the Great Yan Dynasty. In at most half a month, we will be able to determine its specific location" the eunuch respectfully answered.


    The next day, early in the morning, imperial guards arrived outside the Eastern Pce.


    "Your Highness, His Majesty wants you toe."


    The leader of the imperial guards respectfully said.


    "Emperor Father is fine, right?"


    Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan immediately got up. Emperor Liu Shi was ate-born child. When Lin Yuan was born, Liu Shi was already close to fifty.


    Now, twenty-six yearster, Liu Shi was in his seventies. In his younger years, Liu Shi had paid a considerable price to contend for the throne, and his body had umted many hidden injuries.


    Now, in his old age, these injuries were starting to manifest. Lin Yuan had discovered this situation over a decade ago. He had even studied some medical books specifically and formted prescriptions tailored to Liu Shi''s condition.


    However, healing the foundational injuries required a significant amount of time. Coupled with his age, Liu Shi had gradually reduced his involvement in state affairs over the years.


    "He should be fine" Lin Yuan thought to himself. The prescriptions he had devised for Liu Shi could, at the very least, slow down the progression of those hidden injuries.


    As long as nothing major happened, living to a hundred was not an issue. Of course, certain symptoms associated with old age, such as mental fatigue, were unavoidable.


    It wasn''t that Lin Yuan couldn''t resolve them, but the existence of the divine weapons prevented him from using his true strength.


    In the Hall, Lin Yuan met Emperor Liu Shi. Liu Shi''s spirit was still decent, and he was currently drinking medicinal soup.


    "Yuan''er."


    Seeing Lin Yuan approaching, Liu Shi waved.


    "Emperor Father."


    Lin Yuan walked over.


    "My body is getting weaker, and my spirit is declining. I can no longer handle many state affairs" Liu Shi said, looking towards the ministers beside him. These ministers were all high-ranking officials in the court who had arrived before Lin Yuan.


    "Therefore, I want to abdicate and be a retired Emperor. As for the Great Yan Dynasty, I''ll leave it to Yuan''er. What do you think, my beloved ministers?"


    Liu Shi looked at the ministers.


    The ministers exchanged nces, having anticipated this day long ago. Now, they showed no signs of surprise.


    "Emperor Father."


    Lin Yuan looked at Emperor Liu Shi.


    "My son will be the wise ruler."


    Emperor Liu Shi didn''t say much, patting Lin Yuan''s shoulder with a rxed expression.


    After three thousand six hundred and twenty-five years in the Great Yan calendar, the new emperor, Liu Yuan, ascended to the throne.

 Chapter 70

    Chapter 70


    A new emperor ascends to the throne.


    A joyous celebration echoes throughout thend.


    Representatives from all thirty-five nations in the Central ins send their congrattions.


    Lin Yuan handles each response adeptly, showing no signs of unfamiliarity.


    Although he has just ascended to the throne, for over a decade, Lin Yuan has been the acting Crown Prince, overseeing the military and political affairs of the nation.


    The only difference now is the official title.


    Half a monthter, in the Hall of Supreme Heaven, Lin Yuan, dressed in imperial robes, contemtes deeply.


    After formally ascending the throne, the true secrets of the Great Yan Dynasty unfold before him.


    The main focus is on the matter of the ''Divine Weapons.''


    The nation''s guardian divine weapon is officially named the ''Sun-Moon Spear.''


    In the over three thousand six hundred years of the Great Yan Dynasty, the divine weapon ''Sun-Moon Spear'' was revived three times.


    Each revival was triggered by the influence of ''Evil Weapons'' causing havoc among the people. The divine weapon would then be wielded to suppress all threats.


    "''Evil Weapons''?" Lin Yuan strokes his chin.


    These so-called ''Evil Weapons'' must possess strength surpassing even that of Martial Saints topel the divine weapons to intervene.


    "The Anti-God Society." Lin Yuan ponders.


    ording to the information held by the Great Yan Dynasty, there has always been aplex rtionship between the Anti-God Society and the Evil Weapons.


    Every time Evil Weapons caused chaos, the shadow of the Anti-God Society loomed behind.


    Therefore, strictly speaking, it''s not just the Great Yan Dynasty but the entire Central ins of the thirty-six nations that deal mercilessly with anyone associated with the Anti-God Society.


    This is a directive from each guardian divine weapon, and none dare defy it.


    "It seems the Anti-God Society harbors significant secrets." Lin Yuan looks contemtive.


    His forces are on the verge of pinpointing the main headquarters of the Anti-God Society in the Great Yan Dynasty.


    The mysteries of the Anti-God Society will soon be revealed before Lin Yuan.


    In the court, Lin Yuan sits on the dragon throne.


    The Minister of Rites steps forward and respectfully says.


    "Your Majesty, as you have officially assumed the throne, it is customary for you to promptly visit the ''Divine Weapon Ancestral Ground'' to perform the ritual of worshiping the divine weapons."


    This tradition ismon among the thirty-six nations of the Central ins. Each new emperor must promptly visit the ancestral ground of their divine weapon to pay respects.


    This tradition makes sense, considering that guardian divine weapons are regarded as divine entities by each nation.


    "Worship the divine weapons?" Lin Yuan looks towards the Minister of Rites.


    The ancestral ground of the divine weapons is not in the capital city but several hundred miles away.


    Lin Yuan has always been wary of the divine weapon''s ancestral ground. Even when he was certain that the Sun-Moon Spear, the guardian divine weapon, was mostly in a dormant state, he was reluctant to approach.


    Not long ago, Lin Yuan broke through to the Celestial Realm. To ensure absolute safety, he deliberately left the capital and found a location far from the divine weapon''s ancestral ground to achieve the breakthrough.


    "I have not been feeling welltely. We shall postpone the ritual to ater date" Lin Yuan casually provided an excuse, deflecting the request.


    Rituals for worshiping the divine weapons are part of tradition and cannot be easily altered, even by the emperor.


    But being unable to change doesn''t mean it cannot be dyed. Lin Yuan isn''t refusing to go; it''s just that he ims to be unwell and intends to go after some time. Who could say anything about it?"


    "Yes" the Minister of Rites replied helplessly and retreated.


    Unwell? Nonsense. Others might use this excuse, but when the current emperor does, it raises suspicions. The Minister of Rites has been a veteran courtier for two dynasties, aware that when Lin Yuan was born, court physicians determined his constitution to be the best among all monarchs in the history of the Great Yan Dynasty.


    Even if there was some exaggeration, it must have had a basis in fact. Given these circumstances, the Minister of Rites doesn''t believe Lin Yuan''s im of being unwell.


    However, disbelief doesn''t mean there''s anything to be done. Continue to advise? If it were a normal newly enthroned emperor, the Minister of Rites might dare to do so.


    After all, during the initial period of a new emperor''s rule, they usually listen to the opinions of the ministers to stabilize the court. But Lin Yuan, over these many years, has been the Crown Prince for over two decades, smoothly ascending to the throne.


    The Minister of Rites has some understanding. If he were to insist and push too hard, the emperor would likely indulge him. Not only that, the emperor might generously send him off along with his family and nine generations.


    "Forget it. We''ll just dy it. I''ll bring it up every now and then in due course." The Minister of Rites hase to terms with the situation. He doesn''t believe the emperor can keep dying for another twenty or fifty years.


    In Wuyan City, a prosperous city in the southern part of the Great Yan Dynasty, nestled against a hundred thousand mountains, more than twenty figures quietly appeared in a dense forest over ten miles away from Wuyan City.


    Though they stood still, their surging vitality indicated that each of them was at the Martial Saint level in the Blood Refinement stage.


    The Blood Refinement Martial Saint is the limit an ordinary person can reach. Beyond this, there are various ''Armed Users'' and they are no longer human.


    Over twenty Blood Refinement Martial Saints already rival the Martial Saints in the smaller nations with weaker national power. In addition to the Martial Saints, there were many other powerful individuals surrounding them.


    "That dense forest should be the main headquarters of the Anti-God Society. The master has instructed that all survivors of the Anti-God Society should be captured alive. Do you understand?" The leading Martial Saint spoke without moving his lips, transmitting his words through the fluctuations of his vitality, reaching every Martial Saint''s ears.


    "Understood."


    "We know."


    "Capture them alive."


    The Martial Saints nodded without dissent. The battle ended smoothly with over twenty Blood Refinement Martial Saints and hundreds to thousands of ''Body Tempering'' innate martial artists and ''Bone Forging'' Grandmasters surrounding and attacking the main headquarters of the Anti-God Society.


    The Anti-God Society''s headquarters was quickly subdued. The Society''s leader, Sikong Lun, had no chance to escape through the secret passages before three Blood Refinement Martial Saints blocked his way. Then, everything went ck, and when Sikong Lun regained consciousness, he found himself in a bright carriage.


    The meridians in his body werepletely sealed, rendering him unable to mobilize even a trace of Qi and blood.


    In simple terms, Sikong Lun was now a cripple, the kind that an ordinary person holding a knife could easily kill.


    "Who on earth is it?" Sikong Lun''s mind roared like a stormy sea.


    As the leader of the Anti-God Society, he was considered a rat across the thirty-six nations of the Central ins. Sikong Lun was well aware that he was no match for the thirty-six nations possessing the national treasure, the Divine Weapons.


    Precisely because of this, when Sikong Lun established the main headquarters of the Anti-God Society, he paid great attention to concealment. Beneath the headquarters, he constructed numerous secret passages.


    Even if signs of their activities were discovered, they could swiftly escape through the secret tunnels, preserving their strength.


    But now?


    Sikong Lun couldn''t help feeling a chill.


    Over twenty Blood Refinement Martial Saints were exuding a powerful aura, and hundreds to thousands of innate martial artists and Grandmasters of the ''Body Tempering'' and ''Bone Forging'' stages were swiftly attacking.


    Under this overwhelming suppression, even he, the leader, couldn''t escape, let alone other members of the society.


    "Which force made a move?"


    "Is it the Great Yan Dynasty, or the other thirty-five nations?"


    "That''s not it."


    Sikong Lun frowned.


    If he had fallen into the hands of the thirty-six nations of the Central ins, how could he still be alive now? The thirty-six nations dealt with remnants of the Anti-God Society like him by direct execution, leaving no room for future trouble.


    Torture and interrogation to inquire about the whereabouts of other remnants of the Anti-God Society were useless. As the leader, Sikong Lun possessed other means inside his body. If anyone dared to reveal crucial secrets, they would instantly perish.


    Normal society members wouldn''t know much and therefore had no value in interrogation.


    Sikong Lun pondered, unable to figure out which force had acted against him.


    "This ce should still be Wuyan City."


    Sikong Lun reluctantly lifted the curtain and took a nce outside.


    "Never mind."


    "Whether I live or die, I can''t decide."


    Sikong Lun had no intention of escaping.


    What a joke.


    To be able to mobilize over twenty Martial Saints with mysterious power.


    How could he escape from the carriage?


    Half an hourter, the carriage finally stopped.


    Sikong Lun immediately perked up.


    Subsequently, the carriage door opened, and a man invited him out.


    Sikong Lun nced at the man.


    He looked somewhat familiar, and Sikong Lun quickly recognized him.


    This man was one of the Blood Refinement Martial Saints who had acted earlier.


    A Blood Refinement Martial Saint, who held such a high position in the thirty-six nations, was now serving as a coachman?


    Sikong Lun took a deep breath.


    He now had a deeper understanding of the methods of the mastermind behind the scenes.


    Stepping down from the carriage, Sikong Lun followed the Blood Refinement Martial Saint coachman into the pce-like residence before him.


    In the deepest pce, Sikong Lun saw the mastermind behind the attack.


    It was a young man exuding an indescribable noble aura.


    Even just sitting there made Sikong Lun feel somewhat ashamed.


    "Leave us for now."


    Lin Yuan raised his head and waved, instructing the Martial Saint coachman to leave.


    "Yes, Master."


    The coachman Martial Saint respectfully retreated from the grand hall.


    Sikong Lun swallowed nervously.


    A Blood Refinement Martial Saint, such a dignified figure, now recognizing this young man as his master?


    If he hadn''t seen it with his own eyes, Sikong Lun wouldn''t have believed it.


    After a moment of silence, Sikong Lun settled his mind and took the initiative to speak.


    "I wonder, does Your Excellency have any demands for capturing me?"


    At this moment, Sikong Lun also understood that he should have some value to this young man; otherwise, he wouldn''t have been brought before him.


    "I want to know.." Lin Yuan asked "how does your Anti-God Society resist the Divine Weapons of the thirty-six nations? And what exactly is the ''Evil Weapon''?"


    Upon hearing this, Sikong Lun''s expression revealed surprise.


    He had thought that the young man wanted information about the other main headquarters of the Anti-God Society. Sikong Lun had prepared himself, ready to activate the internal method tomit suicide if Lin Yuan delved into that aspect. He never expected this.


    "The Divine Weapons are far beyond our reach as ordinary mortals," Sikong Lun paused for a moment, organizing his words.


    "Since ancient times, only Divine Weapons can contend against other Divine Weapons. This is an unchanging rule."

    Chapter 71


    "Only divine weapons can counter divine weapons?"


    Lin Yuan remained calm. There was nothing wrong with this statement. Over thousands of years, under the subtle influence of divine weapons, the martial arts system of this world had be distorted.


    It focused solely on refining the physical body and enhancing one''s life force. Even the most outstanding individuals ultimately reached the stage of Blood Refining Martial Saint, bing the ''delicacies'' in the eyes of many divine weapons.


    However, Blood Refining Martial Saint, at most, equated to the peak of the second rank. The various divine weapons were at least quasi-fourth rank entities. Measuring them using the hierarchy of the main world, they differed by at least a dozen realms.


    "Are you suggesting that the so-called ''evil weapons'' are also divine weapons?"


    Lin Yuan asked with interest.


    "That''s the truth."


    Sikong Lun nodded and said.


    "With Your Excellency''s status, you should know that all divine weaponse from thousands of years ago."


    Thousands of years ago, ancient divine beings sacrificed mountains and rivers, melted the four seas, and forged many divine weapons. All the divine weapons of this era originated from that period.


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts fluctuated, but he continued to gaze calmly at Sikong Lun.


    Under Lin Yuan''s scrutiny, Sikong Lun felt a lot of pressure and continued speaking.


    "Thousands of years ago, the divine weapons forged by ancient divine beings were far more than thirty-six. However, for some unknown reason, most of these divine weapons were shattered. Only thirty-six intact divine weapons remained. Those shattered divine weapons wereter designated as ''evil weapons'' by the thirty-six countries of the Central ins."


    Sikong Lun finished in one breath. Even within the Anti-God Society, this information was considered top secret, known only to leaders like him.


    "Indeed."


    Lin Yuan understood many doubts in his heart.


    "Your Excellency, although I don''t know which force youe from, the thirty-six national divine weapons treat us human beings like pigs and dogs. They have to consume arge number of living sacrifices regrly. Who could endure such behavior?"


    Seeing Lin Yuan remaining silent, Sikong Lun immediately continued.


    "This is why the Anti-God Society has been able to withstand the siege of the thirty-six countries and persist. Apart from relying on the protection of certain ''evil weapons'', it is more because the act of divine weapons consuming people easily sparks resistance among many human beings. As long as they understand the truth, a considerable number of people may not join the Anti-God Society, but at least they won''t stand against it. After all, if the Anti-God Society overturns the divine weapons in the future, it will also be beneficial for people like us."


    "Do you want to join the Anti-God Society?"


    A hint of surprise shed across Lin Yuan''s face. While he did have thoughts about the Anti-God Society, it was not about joining them. Instead, he nned to use the Anti-God Society for his own purposes.


    "Bring an ''evil weapon'' over, and I will consider it."


    After contemting for a moment, Lin Yuan spoke. So far, he was still not a match for a true fully-empowered ''divine weapon''.


    However, if he couldn''t deal with divine weapons, could he handle evil weapons? Evil weapons were shattered divine weapons, their strength barely reaching that of a weakened Martial God. Under these circumstances, Lin Yuan entertained the idea of studying evil weapons.


    "Consider?"


    Sikong Lun''s pupils slightly contracted. His previous words were just meant to evoke Lin Yuan''spassionate side, allowing him to spare Sikong Lun''s life. He never expected Lin Yuan to actually be considering it.


    It was important to note that the fact about divine weapons consuming sentient beings rarely influenced true powerhouses. After all, these powerhouses stood at high positions.


    "Even if divine weapons really consume people, it won''t reach their level."


    In Sikong Lun''s eyes, Lin Yuan was undoubtedly a figure among figures.


    "Good."


    "But I need to make a trip to the main headquarters."


    "There''s a divine weapon fragment there that no one else can find except me."


    Sikong Lun decisively agreed. He couldn''t fathom why Lin Yuan would deceive him.


    Even though evil weapons were fragments of divine weapons, they possessed self-awareness. Not even two hundred Martial Saints could restrain an evil weapon. Following Lin Yuan''smand, Sikong Lun smoothly left the pce.


    "If there''s really such a powerful figure joining the Anti-God Society..."


    Sikong Lun felt uplifted. Although Lin Yuan never revealed his true identity, the strength disyed when wiping out the Anti-God Society headquarters made it clear that he had a formidable and inscrutable background.


    With the support of such a character, the future of the Anti-God Society would undoubtedly be much brighter. Thinking about this, Sikong Lun''s speed increased once again.


    At the Anti-God Society headquarters, already razed to the ground, there were a few guards remaining.


    Returning to this ce, Sikong Lun''s expression wasplex as he delivered Lin Yuan''smand.


    Soon, Sikong Lun arrived at the deepest part underground. It was a stone chamber empty of any items. Sikong Lun reached a corner, silently recited a few words, and then dropped a few drops of blood.


    Boom!


    A stone door slowly opened.


    Seeing this, Sikong Lun breathed a sigh of relief. The fact that the stone door was opened indicated that the ''evil weapon'' had not left. It was important to note that each ''evil weapon'' had self-awareness.


    In normal circumstances, with the Anti-God Society headquarters destroyed, the ''evil weapon'' guarding this ce could have left.


    Entering the stone door, Sikong Lun reached a stone tform. With a slightly respectful expression, he spoke in a low voice.


    "Greetings, my lord."


    On the stone tformy a ''fragment.'' It seemed to be a part of a mirror.


    "Oh?"


    "This Anti-God Society was supposed to be wiped out, wasn''t it?"


    "Why are you still alive?"


    A spiritual fluctuation emanated from the ''fragment.''


    The tone carried a hint of interest.


    "It''s like this."


    Sikong Lun disclosed everything he knew.


    There was no way around it. If he wanted to take the evil weapon to meet Lin Yuan, the evil weapon had to be willing.


    "So that''s how it is."


    The spiritual fluctuation from the ''fragment'' continued.


    "Do you want this lord to directly control the other person when meeting him?"


    The ''fragment'' continued its inquiry.


    The ''fragment'' was part of the divine weapon ''Sacred Heart Mirror.'' Even if broken, it still had the ability to confuse and enve people''s hearts. However, this ability was used sparingly, as it burdened the ''fragment'' itself. Most importantly, the fluctuations emitted when the evil weapon acted could easily be detected by true divine weapons.


    There was a potential risk of reviving the Divine Weapons that guard the nations if the fragment of the Sacred Heart Mirror controls Lin Yuan, a powerful figure. Although the probability is low, it would be a significant gain for the fragment.


    The fragment desires to control Lin Yuan and use his forces to feed on Martial Saints, restoring its damaged essence. The Divine Weapons of each nation regrly consume arge number of human sacrifices, but the fragment, being an evil weapon, doesn''t enjoy such privileges.


    Sikong Lun reassures the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment about the truthfulness of his information. The fragment agrees to apany Sikong Lun and remarks on the nostalgic taste of Martial Saints.


    As they approach Lin Yuan''s location, the fragment is eager to take control of him and use his Martial Saints to replenish its essence.


    Upon reaching the deepest part of a hall, the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment senses a dangerous aura, realizing that a genuine Divine Weapon is present.


    Perceiving the threat, the fragment decides to retreat, as it finds the situation inexplicable and risky.


    As the fragment begins to withdraw, a voice from the hall invites them inside. Suddenly, a powerful force, a merging of Yin and Yang energies, forms a colossal hand that captures the retreating Sacred Heart Mirror fragment and swiftly retracts into the hall.

    Chapter 72


    Outside the hall.


    Sikong Lun''s mind was in chaos.


    He had not yet recovered from the unexpected behavior of the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment fleeing the scene.


    He saw a giant ck and white hand, like grabbing a chicken, pulling the Sacred Heart Mirror back into the hall.


    Sikong Lun clearly saw that when that giant ck and white hand grabbed the Sacred Heart Mirror, the fragment suddenly burst into a profound ck light, shaking the heavens and the earth. However, this ck light was like fire meeting water, instantly dissolving under the ck and white giant hand.


    "This, this, this..."


    Sikong Lun''s heart trembled.


    That was an evil weapon.


    It was also a genuine fragment of a divine weapon.


    When divine weapons don''t appear, fragments of divine weapons are invincible.


    It''s a rule that cannot be resisted by human power.


    However, at this moment, Sikong Lun discovered that the fragment of the divine weapon was not as strong as he had imagined.


    At least, it seemed extremely fragile in front of that ck and white giant hand.


    No, Sikong Lun suddenly felt shocked.


    It wasn''t that the fragment of the divine weapon was fragile.


    It was that the ck and white giant hand was too powerful.


    "In this world... how could there be such power?"


    Sikong Lun''s mind was in chaos, and he shed back to Lin Yuan, whom he had just seen not long ago.


    The ck and white giant hand just now should also be Lin Yuan''s doing.


    But Lin Yuan is not a divine weapon, nor is he a wielder of weapons. How could he possess the strength to crush a divine weapon fragment?


    ording to the information collected by the Anti-God Society over the years.


    All wielders of weapons are deeply influenced by divine weapons, exuding a cold, indifferent, and aloof aura.


    And this, Lin Yuan obviously does not conform to.


    Inside the hall, Lin Yuan casually sat in front of a desk.


    In front of him, a fragment resembling a mirror was floating.


    "Are you human? No, how could a human cultivate to your level?"


    The Sacred Heart Mirror fragment emitted a frightened mental fluctuation.


    Compared to the perception outside the hall, being in front of Lin Yuan at this moment made the Sacred Heart Mirror deeply shocked by Lin Yuan''s vast and profound aura.


    Although it still didn''t match the power of a true divine weapon, it far exceeded the power of a divine weapon fragment like itself.


    In the eyes of the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment, this was extremely unimaginable and incredible.


    In the cultivation system of this world, the ultimate goal is only the Blood Refining Martial Saint. Going beyond this is simply an impassable road.


    But Lin Yuan...


    "So this is the essence of divine weapons..."


    A strange color appeared on Lin Yuan''s face, and the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment, which looked like nothing more than a broken piece on the surface, seemed to him like the most perfect thing in the world.


    Observing the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment felt like observing a part of heaven and earth.


    Not quite right; it''s like observing a part of the heavens and the earth with its surface peeled off, revealing its essence.


    [Your Unrivaled Insight perceives a part of the essence of the rules of a realm.]


    "What is known as a divine weapon is the external manifestation of the rules of this world?"


    Lin Yuan looked contemtive.


    With his continuously advancing strength at the third rank, he began to vaguely sense the essence of the rules that supported the heavens and the earth, maintaining the operation of the world.


    Even in the main world, Lin Yuan had such a feeling, but the essence of the rules in the main world was extremely powerful. Lin Yuan, even if he tried his best toprehend, gained very little.


    For example, Lin Yuan had tried toprehend the endless starry sky, but the progress was extremely slow. It might take tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years topletely understand the mysteries of the endless starry sky.


    In this realm, although the essence of the world was far inferior to the main world, Lin Yuan found it equally challenging toprehend the essence of this realm''s rules.


    After all, any world, no matter how weak, had formed a perfect cycle. Everything fundamental was already concealed, makingprehension difficult.


    However, at this moment, Lin Yuan looked at the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment in front of him with a fervent gaze. The divine weapons like the Sacred Heart Mirror were the external manifestations of the essence of this realm''s rules, allowing them to possess sentience and innate strength.


    However, because they were external manifestations of the rules'' essence, observing such divine weapons was much easier than directlyprehending the essence of the heavens and earth.


    Especially for the Sacred Heart Mirror itself, which was already broken, the revealed essence of the rules was even clearer. Just by watching andprehending for a while, Lin Yuan perfected his martial cultivation system a little, saving one or two days of effort.


    "What do you want to do? I am a divine weapon of the heavens and earth and cannot be destroyed."


    Seeing Lin Yuan''s gaze heatedly fixed on it, the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment felt a bit uneasy.


    "With your strength, you are undoubtedly a delicacy in the eyes of those thirty-six old guys. You are the most delicious feast in thousands of years."


    "If you release me, I will pass on to you a secret technique. It can hide you from the perception techniques of those thirty-six old guys. How about that?"


    The Sacred Heart Mirror fragment immediately proposed conditions.


    The ''thirty-six old guys'' it mentioned naturally referred to the thirty-sixplete national divine weapons.


    "Cannot be destroyed?"


    Lin Yuan diverted part of his attention, inspecting the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment up and down.


    This fragment was indeed right in saying that, as an external manifestation of the rules of the heavens and earth, the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment could not bepletely destroyed, at least in this side of the heavens and earth. Of course, this destruction referred toplete annihtion, leaving no trace of the fragment.


    As for intact divine weapons being shattered, that was still achievable.


    "Things that cannot be destroyed are the divine weapons themselves. However, can''t the consciousness and intelligence be eroded?"


    Lin Yuan sneered in a seemingly smiling manner.


    As soon as these words came out, the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment was shocked.


    "How do you know?"


    The Sacred Heart Mirror fragment found it hard to believe.


    When the original Sacred Heart Mirror was broken, its consciousness had already disappeared. As for the current Sacred Heart Mirror fragment, it was just a new consciousness born on the fragment itself after a long period. Even other Sacred Heart Mirror fragments had simrly given birth to new consciousness over time.


    It''s just that evil weapons like the Sacred Heart Mirror feared true intact divine weapons because they were afraid of falling into the hands of others and having their consciousness eroded.


    However, this matter had always been a secret among divine weapons. Other divine weapon fragments would not tell such things to ordinary people.


    "As for secret techniques, no need for you to say. I can get them myself."


    Lin Yuan''s eyes faintly revealed a mysterious vortex. The ck and white Tai Chi imprint spread and diffused. Terrifying mental power and soul power rushed towards the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment, suppressing it.


    Lin Yuan nned to use the Soul Search technique on the ''Sacred Heart Mirror Fragment.''


    Since the Sacred Heart Mirror Fragment had developed self-awareness, it counted as a living being and could be forcibly scanned for memories.


    This ''Soul Search'' technique was a creation inspired by Lin Yuan''s observations of various evolutionary paths rted to ''soul'' and ''spirit.'' Simr techniques existed in the main world, serving roughly the same purpose.


    "What are you trying to do?"


    "What exactly do you want?"


    The Sacred Heart Mirror fragment screamed abruptly.


    Its surface once again emitted a dark-colored radiance.


    Unfortunately, under the suppression of Lin Yuan''s Tai Chi domain, all dark-colored radiance quickly dissipated as a vast and invisible force invaded the depths of the fragment.


    Through the Soul Search technique, Lin Yuan read the memories of the fragment as if he were looking at a flower while riding on horseback.


    Since the Sacred Heart Mirror itself was already shattered, many memories were iplete.


    Nevertheless, Lin Yuan still found the information he sought.


    ording to the descriptions in the memories, it happened eight thousand years ago.


    In the Ninth Heaven, where the astral wind could easily tear apart Blood Refining Martial Saints, there stood hundreds of terrifying auras.


    The source of these terrifying auras was none other than various weapons.


    Swords.


    Spears.


    Swords.


    Halberds.


    Bells.


    Tripods.


    And so on.


    "What is that?"


    Through the memory footage, Lin Yuan saw a long spear.


    It seemed like all the radiance in the world gathered on that long spear.


    On the surface of the spear, the sun and moon were engraved, surrounded by an extreme sharpness.


    Sun-Moon Spear.


    The national divine weapon of the Great Yan Dynasty.


    It was also one of the thirty-six intact divine weapons of this era.

 Chapter 73

    Chapter 73


    "Are these hundred weapons all divine weapons?"


    Lin Yuan nced around, his expression slightly serious.


    Through the memories of the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment, Lin Yuan quickly determined the total number of all weapons, including the source of Lin Yuan''s current perspective, a divine weapon in the shape of a mirror.


    Aplete divine weapon, the SacredHeart Mirror.


    "So, thousands of years ago, the total number of divine weapons was as many as a hundred?"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    For more than twenty years, he had been collecting information about divine weapons. Many pieces of information obtained mentioned that in ancient times, the number of divine weapons exceeded thirty-six.


    Later, due to some unknown changes, most divine weapons disappeared. However, there was no specific information about how many divine weapons there were.


    Now, through the memories of the SacredHeart Mirror fragment, Lin Yuan confirmed the total number of divine weapons.


    A hundred pieces.


    One hundred divine weapons.


    As Lin Yuan continued to observe those divine weapons, a loud bang!


    The central ''tower''-shaped divine weapon moved.


    Majestic power erupted, affecting other divine weapons.


    As a result, other divine weapons were forced to take action.


    The spear imprinted with the sun and moon lightly thrust forward, gathering a sharp aura and directly piercing through a fan-shaped divine weapon.


    A melee ensued among the hundred divine weapons.


    The heavens and earth were in turmoil.


    The meleested for several months.


    In the end, most divine weapons were shattered, turned into fragments, and scattered in all directions.


    Only thirty-six divine weapons remained standing on the battlefield.


    These thirty-six divine weapons included the one from the Great Yan Dynasty, the Town-Protecting Divine Weapon, the Sun and Moon Spear.


    At this moment, the aura emitted by the Sun and Moon Spear was somewhat unstable.


    But it was clear that it had be the victor.


    "A melee among divine weapons."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    As for the reason for the melee, Lin Yuan could guess it roughly.


    Divine weapons needed to consume the people of the human race to grow slowly.


    But the number of humans was limited.


    With the appetite of a hundred divine weapons, the people of the thirty-six Central ins countries couldn''t satisfy them at all.


    So, in the end, it led to this great war.


    Only the most powerful divine weapons had the qualification to enjoy the blood feast.


    As for the weaker divine weapons, they were directly shattered, and they perished on their own.


    In front of the desk.


    Lin Yuan put down the SacredHeart Mirror fragment in his hand.


    His face was immersed in contemtion.


    This time, he traveled far from the capital.


    To Wuyan City, and it seemed that he hade to the right ce.


    Not only did he obtain a divine weapon fragment that could be considered the manifestation of the essence of the rules.


    He also learned about the great war that happened eight thousand years ago, a war that was not recorded in any written records.


    The great war among a hundred divine weapons.


    "Master."


    "Master, spare my life."


    On the desk, the SacredHeart Mirror fragment emitted a weak mental fluctuation.


    When Lin Yuan forcibly searched its soul, he also took the opportunity to refine this mirror fragment.


    If it were aplete divine weapon, Lin Yuan wouldn''t be able to refine it, but it was just a fragment, naturally unable to resist Lin Yuan.


    After refining the SacredHeart Mirror fragment, Lin Yuan gained absolute control over its consciousness.


    "Even if I can''t destroy the fragment, erasing the consciousness inside is just a thought."


    The Sacred Heart Mirror fragment also realized its situation. Abandoning its previous negotiating posture, it directly addressed Lin Yuan as ''Master.''


    "Spare your life?"


    Lin Yuan nced at the SacredHeart Mirror fragment.


    Heprehended the essence of the rules within the fragment, and it had nothing to do with its consciousness. Even if the consciousness disappeared, as long as the fragment itself existed, the essence of the rules would still be present, not hindering Lin Yuan''sprehension.


    However, now that the birth and death of consciousness were under Lin Yuan''s control with just a thought, there was no need to erase it so quickly. Otherwise, waiting for the next consciousness to be born might take who knows how many years.


    Moreover, the divine weapon fragment with consciousness did have some use for Lin Yuan. At least, it could actively ''revive'' without Lin Yuan''s stimtion.


    Outside the grand hall, Sikong Lun found himself in a dilemma.


    After the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment was forcibly ''dragged'' into the grand hall, SikongLun realized that his biggest reliance might have failed.


    At this moment, SikongLun was torn between joy and sorrow.


    When Lin Yuan suppressed the soldiers with a wave of his hand, Sikong Lun couldn''t help but have a fleeting hope.


    For thousands of years, the human race had been the food for divine weapons. No one had ever been able to resist divine weapons, even if it was just a fragment of a divine weapon.


    However, Lin Yuan''s appearance seemed to break this pattern.


    But who Lin Yuan really was and whether he was a ''human,'' whether he would stand on the side of divine weapons, were things that SikongLun couldn''t figure out.


    Time passed.


    While SikongLun was lost in thought and contemtion.


    A voice rang out silently in his ears.


    "Youe in too."


    "Yes."


    SikongLun took a deep breath.


    As if epting judgment, he walked into the grand hall.


    The interior of the hall was no different from what SikongLun remembered.


    The only difference was a mirror fragment casually ced on the desk where Lin Yuan was sitting.


    Mirror fragment?


    SikongLun swallowed his saliva.


    Thinking that it was not an ordinary mirror fragment, but the evil weapon they, the Anti-God Society, worshipped day and night.


    "Lord."


    SikongLun knelt on the ground with a thud.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan nced at the other party casually.


    "After today, I want your Anti-God Society topletely submit to me. Can you do that?"


    Lin Yuan said casually.


    The influence of the Anti-God Society covered the entire Central ins Thirty-Six Kingdoms.


    The Anti-God Society where Sikong Lun was located was just one of the main headquarters in the Great Yan Dynasty.


    There were thirty-five other main headquarters of the Anti-God Society, each hidden in the other thirty-five countries.


    Lin Yuan''s implicit meaning was to let Sikong Lun subdue the other thirty-five main headquarters of the Anti-God Society.


    Bring the entire Anti-God Society under Lin Yuan''smand.


    Faced with Lin Yuan''s words, SikongLun fell into silence.


    If it were someone else saying this to him.


    SikongLun would definitely not agree, and he wouldn''t even consider it.


    The Anti-God Society was thest line of defense against the rule of divine weapons.


    Even if they worshipped an evil weapon, it was only to increase their confidence in resisting true divine weapons.


    Sikong Lun could die, but the Anti-God Society must not perish.


    Otherwise, all the human races in Central ins Thirty-Six Kingdoms would forever be the food for divine weapons.


    "I just want to know one thing."


    SikongLun stared at Lin Yuan and asked boldly, "Is the Lord a human, and how do you view divine weapons?"


    "Human."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    Looking at SikongLun, who was willing to die for his beliefs.


    Lin Yuan said slowly, "Naturally, I am human. As for those divine weapons, I''ve found them displeasing for a long time."


    As these words were spoken, SikongLun immediately felt relieved.


    "In the future, the Anti-God Society will be at the Lord''s service."


    SikongLun said respectfully.


    Having received the answer he wanted, Sikong Lun''s tensed heartpletely rxed. To preserve the spark of hope for the human race, the Anti-God Society was willing to offer sacrifices, even the former divine weapon, the evil weapon.


    The methods disyed by Lin Yuan gave Sikong Lun a glimpse of hope in the fight against divine weapons. It was only natural for the other Anti-God Society factions to join him.


    After subduing Sikong Lun, Lin Yuan issued the first order - to report all the information known by the Anti-God Society about evil weapons.


    For Lin Yuan, every evil weapons was an external manifestation of the fundamental rules of the world. Observing their true forms had great benefits and could significantly improve the path of martial evolution, helping Lin Yuan advance to the Fourth Rank.


    Not only the Fourth Rank, but there were also uplifting effects on the path of martial evolution.


    "Does the Lord intend to continue subduing those evil weapons?"


    SikongLun immediately grasped Lin Yuan''s thoughts.


    "Be careful, my Lord. Those evil weapons are not easy to deal with, each and every one of them."


    SikongLun whispered.


    Although Lin Yuan had crushed the SacredHeart Mirror fragment with overwhelming dominance, there was a difference between divine weapons and divine weapon fragments. Some divine weapon fragments hadrger volumes, upying more parts of theplete divine weapon, making them more powerful.


    Even if they still couldn''t beat Lin Yuan, if one managed to escape, it could still pose a hidden threat.


    "No worries."


    Lin Yuan waved his hand.


    With his current strength, even if divine weapons didn''t appear and there were more fragments, he could instantly suppress them.


    Time passed.


    Another fifty years went by.

    Chapter 74


    For the Central ins Thirty-Six States with a history spanning thousands of years.


    Fifty years doesn''t seem like much for the majority of ordinary citizens.


    Perhaps, it doesn''t differ much from the past.


    However, the royal families of the Thirty-Six States vaguely sensed subtle changes in the past fifty years.


    Mainly, it''s the remnants of the Anti-God Society, whose actions are bing increasingly bold.


    The Anti-God Society, as an underground organization rejected and wanted by the Central ins Thirty-Six States has always been treated like a rat crossing the street.


    When trying to recruit followers, they usually adopt secretive methods.


    However, in recent years, these remnants of the Anti-God Society have be more arrogant, even daring to ''abduct people on the street.''


    What surprised the royal families of the Thirty-Six States the most is that every time theyunched a siege, the remnants of the Anti-God Society seemed to have received information in advance and miraculously escaped.


    This made the royal families of the Thirty-Six States realize that the Anti-God Society was well-prepared.


    As a result, the suppression of the Anti-God Society by the Central ins Thirty-Six States further intensified.


    Thirty-six years ago, and neen years ago, the Central ins Thirty-Six States even mobilized ''Warrior Commanders.''


    They wanted to use the power of the most powerful divine weapons to heavily defeat the Anti-God Society.


    Unfortunately, the ''Warrior Commanders'' on the side of the Anti-God Society appeared in time.


    Dying the ''Warrior Commanders'' of the Thirty-Six States and allowing the majority of the elite members of the Anti-God Society to leave in advance.


    The Central ins Thirty-Six States possess divine weapons to protect the country.


    By using the power of these divine weapons, Warrior Commanders can be cultivated.


    Although the Anti-God Society does not haveplete divine weapons, they have many divine weapon fragments.


    These are called Evil Weapons.


    Evil Weapons are essentially divine weapons.


    As long as thepleteness of the Evil Weapons reaches a certain standard, Warrior Commanders can be cultivated as well.


    Of course, the Central ins Thirty-Six States call these Warrior Commanders ''Evil Warrior Commanders.''


    In directbat, Evil Warrior Commanders are naturally not as powerful as Warrior Commanders with divine weapons.


    But the former can slightly interfere with thetter.


    As long as the Warrior Commander does not activate the divine weapon to fully awaken, it is challenging to capture the Evil Warrior Commander.


    Generally speaking, Warrior Commanders do not allow the divine weapon to fully awaken.


    Because if that happens, it means their own lifespan will plummet.


    A fully awakened divine weapon, in terms of absorbing the soul essence of the Warrior Commander, will reach a terrifying level.


    Every time the divine weapon fully awakens, the Warrior Commander''s lifespan will be reduced by ten years.


    In a hidden underground square.


    A robust man sits cross-legged in the center.


    Around the robust man, there are dozens of weapon fragments scattered.


    If there were ''Evil Warrior Commanders'' from the Anti-God Society present, they would be shocked to find that these weapon fragments are, in fact, Evil Weapons.


    Evil Weapons are divine weapon fragments.


    Although their strength is far from that of divine weapons, they surpass the limits of the mundane.


    However, at this moment, these supreme Evil Weapons are casually thrown on the ground like ordinary objects.


    "Fifty years."


    The robust man, Lin Yuan, slowly opens his eyes.


    For the majority of the fifty years, he has been mostly practicing andprehending the fundamental rules within the divine weapon fragments.


    As for the various political affairs of the Great Yan Dynasty, Lin Yuan established a cab with loyal ministers more than forty years ago to handle the affairs of the country on behalf of the emperor.


    Lin Yuan only needs to go back and check every once in a while.


    As an emperor, thest thing you want to do is to be personally involved in everything. There are so many affairs of the country; if you get involved in each one, wouldn''t it be exhausting?


    Of course, someone like Lin Yuan, who neglects things for a long time, is also rare and is a taboo for emperors. It''s easy to be marginalized.


    But with Lin Yuan''s strength, gathering immense power in himself, who would dare to marginalize him?


    "Fourth Rank."


    Lin Yuan looks at the divine weapon fragments around him, his face sinking into brief contemtion.


    With Lin Yuan''s cultivation speed, he had reached the Celestial Realm perfection twenty years ago.


    And achieving Celestial Realm perfection, if ced in the main world, is equivalent to a quasi-Fourth Rank.


    However, when ites to the breakthrough to officially enter the Fourth Rank, Lin Yuan is somewhat hesitant.


    The transition from the Third Rank to the Fourth Rank, even in the main world, is a significant bottleneck, a great shackle.


    Evolvers who can reach the pinnacle of the Third Rank, each one is a genius among millions, tens of millions, or even billions.


    Even so, breaking through this major bottleneck and shackle would take at least hundreds of years, with many sumbing to old age at the pinnacle of the Third Rank.


    This is based on the premise of having aplete evolutionary path guide.


    For someone like Lin Yuan, who is forging his own evolutionary path, each step is taken on apletely unknown road. Breaking through to the Fourth Rank is a challenge multiplied by a thousand or even a million times.


    Of course, this ''thousand or million times'' is based on Lin Yuan''s current strength at the pinnacle of the Third Rank.


    For higher-level evolvers, such as those in the Fifth or Sixth Rank, with a broad perspective, opening up an evolutionary path is much easier.


    In fact, even with this ''thousand or million times'' difficulty, with Lin Yuan''s unrivaled insight, he should have already broken through to the Fourth Rank.


    However, Lin Yuan has been hesitating.


    Take, for example, the promotion of a Celestial Master using the power of Yin or Yang.


    In this promotion to the Fourth Rank, Lin Yuan wants to advance using the fundamental rules within the divine weapon fragments.


    This method of advancing to the Fourth Rank undoubtedly has the greatest potential.


    Over the past fifty years, Lin Yuan has collected dozens of divine weapon fragments, incorporating the fundamental rules inside them into the martial arts cultivation system.


    However, these shattered fundamental rules are still too few for Lin Yuan.


    They cannot support Lin Yuan''s advancement to the Fourth Rank.


    "Evil Warrior Commander."


    Lin Yuan squints his eyes slightly.


    Over the years, the divine weapon fragments that the Anti-God Society has helped him collect are naturally those of the weaker variety.


    There''s no way around it; divine weapon fragments have their own consciousness.


    Even if Sikong Lun tries to manipte them, he can only deceive those ordinary divine weapon fragments.


    As for the truly powerful divine weapon fragments, their whereabouts are simply not something the Anti-God Society can control. These divine weapon fragments are generally already cultivated into Warrior Commanders, sleeping within the bodies of the Warrior Commanders most of the time.


    The Anti-God Society and these Evil Warrior Commanders tend to have a cooperative rtionship; the former cannotmand thetter.


    Each time the Anti-God Society asks these Evil Warrior Commanders for help, they need to pay a significant price.


    Even so, when facing the suppression of the Central ins Thirty-Six States, the Anti-God Society and these Evil Warrior Commanders can be considered standing on the same side.


    Evil Warrior Commanders obey Evil Weapons, and Evil Weapons are the losers from the battle of a hundred divine weapons eight thousand years ago.


    Their bodies were shattered by the strongest thirty-six divine weapons, scattering in all directions.


    So, Evil Weapons naturally harbor resentment towards the thirty-six divine weapons.


    The two have an inherent opposition in their positions.


    As for the Anti-God Society, it is a forceposed of people who want to resist the rule of divine weapons.


    They are also opposed to the thirty-six divine weapons.


    The enemy''s enemy is a friend.


    Therefore, the rtionship between the Anti-God Society and Evil Weapons is a natural alliance.


    In the previous headquarters of the Anti-God Society, there was a fragment of a divine weapon suppressing it.


    However, Lin Yuan dispatched more than twenty Martial Saints and swiftly annihted that headquarters, too fast for the fragment of the divine weapon to react; the battle had already concluded.


    Just as Lin Yuan was contemting,


    Faint footsteps approached from a distance.


    "Greetings, my lord."


    The person was none other than Sikong Lun.


    Fifty years have passed, and SikongLun has aged considerably, with many more white hairs on his head.


    "Mm."


    Lin Yuan nced at Sikong Lun and nodded slightly.


    Over the years, SikongLun has indeed done well, tirelessly working in the Central ins Thirty-Six States.


    Now, many headquarters of the Anti-God Society obey Lin Yuan''s orders, and SikongLun''s contribution cannot be ignored.


    After all, Lin Yuan is immersed in cultivation, and he tries not to attract the attention of those true divine weapons, so he rarely appears.


    "If you have something to say, say it."


    Lin Yuan said directly.


    After fifty years of interaction, he has some understanding of Sikong Lun. He knows that if SikongLun doesn''t have anything significant, he won''te looking for him.


    "My lord"


    "Those Evil Warrior Commanders want to meet you, to discuss matters rted to the decisive battle with the Central ins Thirty-Six States."


    SikongLun hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice.


    "A decisive battle?"


    "Don''t they fear another ''cmity of war''?"


    Lin Yuan''s eyebrows slightly furrowed.


    The so-called ''cmity of war'' refers to the disasters caused by the battles between divine weapons.


    Eight thousand years ago, the battle of a hundred divine weapons concluded, and the situation was settled.


    Thirty-six divine weapons each guarded one of the thirty-six countries, enjoying the blood offerings of sentient beings.


    But why is the history of the Great Yan Dynasty only a little over three thousand six hundred years?


    Not only is the Great Yan Dynasty like this, but the histories of the other thirty-five Central ins countries are also around three to four thousand years.


    The reason lies in the great decisive battle initiated voluntarily by many Evil Warrior Commanders and the Anti-God Society three to four thousand years ago.


    That battle directly angered the thirty-six divine weapons.


    All thirty-six divine weapons revived simultaneously, beginning to suppress the resurgent Evil Warrior Commanders.


    The battle between them affected the entire Central ins, leading to the downfall of the dynasties and the cries of the people.


    While suppressing, the thirty-six divine weapons harvested the life force and souls of the people.


    This caused severe damage to the human race, and it took hundreds or thousands of years for them to recover.


    However, the impact of the decisive battle persisted, resulting in the overthrow of the old dynasties and the establishment of the new thirty-six countries.


    This period is known as the


    Cmity of War.


    ...

 Chapter 75

    Chapter 75


    Few people knew about the cmity of war.


    Even among the royal families of the thirty-six states in the Central ins, very few were aware.


    At least, there was no record of it in the Great Yan Dynasty.


    Lin Yuan learned about this extremely dark history from the ancient scrolls of the Anti-God Association.


    As the thirty-six divine weapons revived, they began harvesting all living beings without restraint. That dark period was akin to doomsday.


    "I''m not sure either."


    Sikong Lun also couldn''t figure it out.


    Although he didn''t understand it as clearly as Lin Yuan.


    But he was also aware that the Anti-God Association and the Evil Warrior Commanders were far from being a match for the thirty-six states in the Central ins.


    Even though, in recent fifty years, with Lin Yuan''s covert support, the Anti-God Association gained great momentum, causing headaches for the royal families of the thirty-six states.


    But the gap in top-tier strength still existed.


    On the side of the Anti-God Association, what could they use to deal with the fully revived thirty-six divine weapons?


    If they couldn''t handle it, there was a high probability of a repeat of the cmity of war from three or four thousand years ago.


    "Could it be?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression changed slightly.


    Even Sikong Lun realized that something was wrong. There was no reason for the Evil Warrior Commanders not to think about it.


    Even if the Evil Warrior Commanders obeyed their respective Evil Warriors, the Evil Warriors were not fools; they also weighed the pros and cons.


    Once a cmity of war urred, it would be a heavy loss for those Evil Warriors, and their consciousness might even be wiped out.


    Unless there was a reason to engage in a decisive battle.


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts fluctuated, thinking of two possible reasons.


    One was that the Evil Warriors had acquired some means to boost their confidence, such aspensating for their other fragments? Giving them the confidence to confront true divine weapons.


    The second was that the Evil Warriors had sensed that if they didn''t initiate a decisive battle now, they might never have the opportunity again.


    Thinking about thetter, it was very likely that the thirty-six divine weapons would undergo some transformation in theing time.


    Once the transformation wasplete, there would be no chance for many Evil Warriors to survive.


    "Transformation?"


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    Eight thousand years ago, the thirty-six divine weapons were already quasi-fourth rank.


    After eight thousand years of sleep, constantly harvesting the essence, blood, and souls of all living beings,


    These divine weapons might step into the next realm and ascend to the fourth rank?


    This was the only reason that could lead the Evil Warriors to initiate a decisive battle at all costs.


    Because they understood that if they waited for the thirty-six divine weapons to reach the fourth rank, they would have no chance.


    So, they made a powerful move to stop the transformation, or even make it fail.


    "So be it."


    "Let''s go meet those Evil Warrior Commanders."


    Lin Yuan said slowly.


    Whether it was for his own need for more divine weapon fragments.


    Or the spection just now, Lin Yuan had a reason to meet those Evil Warrior Commanders.


    A monthter, in the far south.


    This was a ce full of poisonous gas in the dense forest, rarely visited by people. Ordinary hunters would only nce from afar and dare not approach.


    For hundreds or even thousands of years, countless people had died in this forest. Once the poisonous gas entered the body, it was essentially equivalent to death.


    Over the years, this dense forest had be a forbidden zone for nearby hunters.


    However, beneath this dense forest, arge blue stone hall was established.


    In the center of the hall, there were eighteen stone seats in sequence.


    At this moment, all eighteen stone seats were upied.


    They all had indifferent expressions, with profound auras that seemed to connect to some great existence, far surpassing the Blood Refining Martial Saints with every move.


    These eighteen people were indeed Evil Warrior Commanders.


    Standing behind each Evil Warrior Commander, even if it was just a fragment of a divine weapon, its power was extraordinary.


    "That master of the Anti-God Association, where did hee from, to make the Anti-God Association obey him without question?"


    A robed Evil Warrior Commander spoke up.


    Before the appearance of this master of the Anti-God Association, the Evil Warrior Commanders and all the other Evil Warriors were treated with utmost respect.


    But now, everything had changed. The Anti-God Association dared to negotiate conditions with them.


    "It is said that this master of the Anti-God Association possesses the power to suppress divine weapon fragments, evenparable to true divine weapons."


    Another Evil Warrior Commander said.


    "Absurd."


    As this statement was made, several Evil Warrior Commanders showed disdainful expressions.


    Throughout history, the power of divine weapons has always surpassed that of living beings, even including fragments of divine weapons.


    Can human strength really contend with the power of divine weapons? This was something the Evil Warrior Commanders understood better than anyone else.


    "Perhaps the master of the Anti-God Association also has Evil Warriors behind him, and he himself is an Evil Warrior Commander?"


    Another Evil Warrior Commander spoke.


    This statement received agreement from most of the Evil Warrior Commanders present.


    "No matter what."


    At this moment, the figure sitting in the main seat spoke.


    "After meeting the new master of the Anti-God Associationter, if he is like us, also an Evil Warrior, then fine. We can slowly negotiate the matter of the decisive battle. The Evil Warriors behind him probably won''t refuse."


    "If not."


    Speaking up to this point, the figure in the main seat revealed a hint of cruelty in their tone.


    Although Evil Warrior Commanders were of the human race, under the influence of Evil Warriors, they gradually developed an attitude of regarding others as ants.


    "No problem."


    "Brother Qingwu''s words make sense."


    "Then let''s do as Brother Qingwu said."


    The figure in the main seat, Qingwu, had a presence that no Evil Warrior Commander on the scene dared to refuse.


    Even among the Evil Warrior Commanders, there were differences in strength.


    The essence of an Evil Warrior was a fragment of a divine weapon, and the size of this fragment, which upied a certain proportion of the original divine weapon, naturally determined the strength of the Evil Warrior.


    As such, Evil Warrior Commanders were divided into five levels.


    Evil Warriors with apletion level of three-tenths.


    Evil Warriors with apletion level of four-tenths.


    Evil Warriors with apletion level of five-tenths.


    Evil Warriors with apletion level of six-tenths.


    Evil Warriors with apletion level of eight-tenths.


    The higher thepletion level, the closer the Evil Warrior''s power was to that of a true divine weapon.


    The Evil Warrior behind Qingwu was astonishingly an Evil Warrior with apletion level of nine-tenths.


    This Evil Warrior had a true strength that was probably very close to that of a true divine weapon. That''s why it held a unique position among the Evil Warrior Commanders.


    This time, the Evil Warrior Commanders decided to actively initiate a decisive battle.


    Apart from the fact that the thirty-six divine weapons were about to take the final step.


    It was also because the Evil Warrior behind Qingwu had reached a rarepletion level of nine-tenths.


    In this way, even if they initiated a decisive battle and still couldn''t beat the thirty-six divine weapons, having the Evil Warrior behind Qingwu would at least provide some self-preservation power.


    In any case, their goal in initiating the decisive battle was not to defeat the thirty-six divine weapons but to influence them, preventing them from taking the final step.


    Once the decisive battle began, their main focus would naturally be on survival.


    Suddenly.


    The eighteen Evil Warrior Commanders on the stone seats showed slight movements.


    In their perception, a breath was slowly approaching from the entrance of the blue stone hall.


    "Is that the master of the Anti-God Association?"


    "Such audacity, daring toe alone?"


    The eighteen Evil Warrior Commanders were slightly surprised, with a yful look on their faces.


    After a moment.


    A young man appeared at the entrance of the blue stone hall.


    "You are the master of the Anti-God Association?"


    The eighteen warriors remained seated on the stone seats, showing no intention of standing up to greet the guest.


    Buzz!


    The power of heaven and earth converged.


    Vaguely, a huge ck iron hammer appeared in the air and smashed towards Lin Yuan.


    Some Evil Warrior Commander couldn''t help but make a move to test Lin Yuan.


    "How disappointing."


    Lin Yuan sighed lightly.


    In the astonished eyes of the eighteen Evil Warrior Commanders, he waved his hand, causing the shadow of the ck iron hammer to disintegrate.


    Before the other Evil Warrior Commanders could react.


    "You Evil Warrior Commanders are quite impolite."


    Lin Yuan took a step and appeared next to the eighteen stone seats.


    Then, with another step, Qingwu, who was sitting in the main seat with a solemn expression and had an Evil Warrior with apletion level of nine-tenths behind him, was ''pulled'' out by an invisible force. It seemed as if he were discarded, crashing onto a distant blue stone.


    "Still sitting?"


    Lin Yuan swept his eyes over the remaining seventeen Evil Warrior Commanders.


    As soon as he finished speaking.


    All seventeen Evil Warrior Commanders on the stone seats were ''forced'' to stand up.


    During this process, some Evil Warrior Commanders resisted vigorously, activating the power of their Evil Warriors, releasing terrifying auras, but all were suppressed within a one-inch radius of their bodies.


    The Evil Warrior power, usually capable of shaking the heavens and the earth, now seemed as meek as a well-behaved kitten.


    All the Evil Warrior Commanders sitting on the stone seats stood up.


    Seeing this scene, Lin Yuan slowly took his seat on the main seat.


    ...


    15 chapters ahead on patreon: /David_Lord

 Chapter 76

    Chapter 76


    A profound silence enveloped the area.


    All the high-ranking evil warriormanders stood up in unison, staring wide-eyed at the young man seated on the main throne.


    "Alright."


    "You may all take your seats as well."


    Lin Yuan waved his sleeve casually.


    Instantly, the force thatpelled the evil warriormanders to stand disappeared.


    The entire blue stone hall returned to its original state. If it weren''t for the change in the person sitting on the main throne, some evil warriormanders might have thought that everything that happened just now was an illusion.


    "This..."


    The evil warriormanders exchanged nces, beads of cold sweat forming on their foreheads.


    For a moment, they were unsure whether to sit or stand, flee or stay.


    "Not sitting?"


    Lin Yuan''s mouth curved into a smile as he looked at the evil warriormanders.


    In an instant, as if Mount Tai were pressing down on them, all the evil warriormanders felt a tremendous force on their shoulders. Their faces turned pale, legs trembling, and one by one, they sat on the stone seats.


    "Now that''s more like it."


    Lin Yuan''s expression showed satisfaction.


    The other evil warriormanders, however, were experiencing a tumultuous storm within.


    From the moment Lin Yuan entered the blue stone hall until now, only a dozen or so breaths had passed.


    In this short time, hepletely suppressed any resistance from the evil warriormanders on the scene.


    It wasn''t that the evil warriormanders didn''t resist.


    They did, but their resistance had no effect whatsoever.


    How was this possible?


    What''s even more astonishing to the evil warriormanders is that they didn''t sense any aura of divine power from Lin Yuan.


    In other words, Lin Yuan was not a warriormander.


    Not a warriormander, yet possessed a power surpassing that of a warriormander.


    This scene, breaking allmon sense, sent shivers down the spines of the evil warriormanders.


    "Who exactly are you?"


    On the blue stone hall, Qingwu thrown off the main seat by Lin Yuan managed to crawl up, looking at Lin Yuan with eyes filled with fear.


    Just a moment ago, if not for the protection of the evil warrior''s power, his bones and organs would have been shattered by that throw. At this moment, he felt as if he couldn''t die any more than he already did.


    "I didn''t ask for your opinion, why are you speaking?"


    Lin Yuan looked at Qingwu.


    Boom! A mighty force descended.


    Qingwu''s face turned red, and with a thud, he knelt on the ground.


    Such a miserable scene made the other evil warriormanders'' scalps tingle.


    Compared to the kneeling Qingwu, at least they were sitting on stone seats, even if it was ''forced.'' It looked much more dignified.


    "I''ll ask a question, and you''ll answer."


    "If there are additionalments, feel free to speak."


    Lin Yuan rolled up his sleeves, casually stating.


    Next.


    Lin Yuan didn''t care about the thoughts of these evil warriormanders.


    He directly asked:


    "Why did you want tounch this decisive battle?"


    Although Lin Yuan had guessed the reason, he still wanted to hear how these evil warriormanders would exin.


    "It''s like this."


    An evil warriormander couldn''t withstand the pressure.


    What a joke.


    Although, until now, all eighteen evil warriormanders were alive.


    But with the overwhelming strength Lin Yuan disyed just now, this evil warriormander had no doubt that the opponent had the power topletely kill them.


    In this situation, no evil warriormander would show a determined stance of not surrendering.


    In fact, some evil warriormanders had alreadymunicated with the evil warriors inside their bodies, trying to revive them.


    At that time, even if they couldn''t do anything to Lin Yuan, at least there was hope for a full retreat.


    But except for the initial attempt by an evil warrior to release power and resist Lin Yuan, all the evil weapons within the evil warriormanders seemed to have disappeared, ignoring the pleas of the evil warriormanders.


    "This is the will of the Evil Weapons."


    "The Evil Weapons told us that within a hundred years, those thirty-six divine weapons will take that step and reach the realm of the Supreme God."


    "Therefore, we must do our utmost, no matter the cost, to prevent this from happening."


    "Otherwise, there will be no ce for us in heaven and earth."


    Many evil warriormanders spoke one after another, revealing what they roughly knew.


    It was consistent with Lin Yuan''s spection.


    After eight thousand years of nurturing and sleep, those thirty-six national divine weapons were indeed on the verge of reaching the fourth rank.


    This also indicated the difficulty of advancing from the third rank to the fourth rank.


    Thirty-six divine weapons were the external manifestation of the essence of the rules of this world.


    Even so, crossing into the fourth rank was still extremely difficult.


    Not to mention for ordinary beings?


    "Ancient divine beings."


    Lin Yuan pondered with a thoughtful expression.


    The term ''Father God'' mentioned by the evil warriormanders refers to the ancient divine beings.


    Thousands of years ago, ancient divine beings sacrificed mountains and rivers, melted the four seas, and finally forged a hundred divine weapons.


    This is also the origin of all the divine weapons in the current world.


    Therefore, whether it''s intact divine weapons or broken evil weapons, they all refer to the ancient divine being from thousands of years ago as the ''Father God.''


    For decades, Lin Yuan has been trying to learn more about the ''ancient divine being.''


    However, his efforts have been minimal.


    Even forcibly extracting information from evil weapons, due to their fragmented nature, could only provide glimpses of scenes from thousands of yearster.


    As for memories rted to the ancient divine being from thousands of years ago and how the divine weapons were forged, it remains extremely vague.


    The evil weapons only know that the ''Father God'' is great, but the details are hazy, and theyck a more specific impression.


    Lin Yuan is quite curious about this ''ancient divine being.''


    In his view, the ''ancient divine being'' is at least a fourth-rank powerhouse, and may have even advanced far within the fourth rank.


    However, such a powerful being, even if they didn''t live for thousands of years, should still leave behind some information.


    His thoughts converge.


    Lin Yuan looks once again at the evil warriormanders.


    "There''s something I need your help with."


    Lin Yuan''s tone is gentle, smiling.


    This statement leaves the evil warriormanders on the scene puzzled.


    With the strength Lin Yuan has demonstrated, not to mention matching true divine weapons, what could he possibly need their help with?


    "Y-yes, please speak, my lord."


    The first evil warriormander who answered Lin Yuan''s question spoke cautiously.


    "I want to examine the evil weapons within your bodies."


    Lin Yuan''s gaze is calm as he speaks slowly.


    As soon as these words are uttered, silence falls upon the area.


    Then, horrifying mental fluctuations erupt from each evil warriormander''s body.


    Illusory images of evil weapons appeared, especially Qingwu kneeling on the hall floor. The apparition within him is an almostplete ''Giant Axe.''


    The divine weapon, ''Sky-Cleaving Axe.''


    Lin Yuan''s gaze lingers on this axe''s illusion for a moment.


    In the battle of a hundred divine weapons eight thousand years ago, this ''Sky-Cleaving Axe'' divine weapon ranked just below the thirty-six strongest divine weapons.


    Even in defeat, it preserved most of its original form.


    Originally, these evil weapons, upon sensing Lin Yuan''s strength, intended to temporarily avoid confrontation. Hence, the scene where they ignored the calls of the evil warriormanders.


    However, none of the evil warriormanders could have expected that Lin Yuan would take advantage of the situation to want to examine them.


    "Well done, well done."


    Lin Yuan''s gaze shows a slightly fervent expression.


    He came here not only to confirm his suspicions but more importantly, to collect moreplete evil weapons.


    If Lin Yuan intends to ascend to the fourth rank through the essence of the rules, he mustprehend arge number of evil weapons, even true divine weapons.


    Therefore, the more powerful these evil weapons on the scene, the better.


    Outside the blue stone hall.


    Sikong Lun looks worried, pacing back and forth.


    "My lord, my lord, you acted impulsively again."


    Sikong Lun expresses his concerns.


    Following the suggestions of the evil warriormanders, Sikong Lun nned to apany Lin Yuan inside.


    After all,pared to Lin Yuan, Sikong Lun has more experience inmunicating with these evil warriormanders.


    Knowing what the evil warriormanders want, even if negotiations fail, he and Lin Yuan still have a chance to retreat unharmed.


    At most, it''s just paying a price.


    However, Lin Yuan asked Sikong Lun to wait outside and dealt with the situation inside by himself.


    This increasingly worried Sikong Lun.


    He is well aware of Lin Yuan''s strength.


    Capable of easily suppressing evil weapons.


    But at this moment, among the evil warriormanders inside the blue stone hall, which one of them is easy to deal with?


    The evil warriormanders gathered here have evil weapons withpleteness above fifty percent, far surpassing the previous Sacred Heart Mirror fragment.


    There is even one evil weapon withpleteness reaching ny percent, extremely close to the level of a divine weapon.


    With such strength, Lin Yuan directly entered. In case negotiations go wrong, wouldn''t that be a big loss?


    While Sikong Lun acknowledges Lin Yuan''s strength, he also doesn''t believe that Lin Yuan can gain any advantage in front of these powerful evil warriormanders.


    "They probably haven''t started a fight."


    Sikong Lun breathes a sigh of relief.


    With Lin Yuan''s methods and the strength of the evil warriormanders, if they had truly engaged, it would have been a catastrophic event, far from being so quiet.


    This gives Sikong Lun a bit offort.


    But it''s just a bit.


    Because Lin Yuan hasn''te out yet.


    Noting out means there are variables.


    A major battle could still ur.


    While Sikong Lun anxiously waits,


    A figure leisurely walks out from the entrance.


    "My lord."


    Sikong Lun is overjoyed.


    Finally, the worst-case scenario did not happen.


    "Yes."


    Lin Yuan nods slightly, a smile appearing on his face, evidently in good spirits.


    "Take care of the people behind."


    After saying this, Lin Yuan leaves directly.


    "Take care of what?"


    Sikong Lun is a bit confused.


    Who are the people behind?


    He remembers that Lin Yuan clearly entered alone.


    The entire blue stone hall, except for Lin Yuan and those powerful evil warriormanders, doesn''t have their own people.


    Even as Sikong Lun is puzzled, leading the group of evil warriormanders, Qingwu and others walk out of the entrance, their faces pale, trembling.


    Forcibly extracting the evil weapons from their bodies is akin to tearing muscles and pulling bones for these evil warriormanders.


    If Lin Yuan didn''t consider that the evil warriormanders have strong innate spiritual power, which might be useful in the future, they wouldn''t have survived.


    "You guys?"


    Sikong Lun, seeing these evil warriormanders and their expressions, immediately realizes that the people Lin Yuan wanted him to take care of are these evil warriormanders.


    "This..."


    Sikong Lun swallows hard.


    With his intelligence, he naturally understands that since Lin Yuan said to take care of them, it means these evil warriormanders have already submitted.


    Otherwise, even if he wanted to take care of them, the evil warriormanders wouldn''t allow it.


    But even so, Sikong Lun is shocked.


    He was just worrying about Lin Yuan''s safety, fearing he might suffer in the hands of the evil warriormanders.


    Now, seeing the eighteen evil warriormanders with lifeless faces, Sikong Lun looks up at Lin Yuan''s departing figure.


    It''s as if he''s gazing at a ''god.''

 Chapter 77

    Chapter 77


    The essence of the rules contained in the Evil Weapons such as the Sky-CleavingAxe allows Lin Yuan to advance further towards the Fourth Rank.


    In order to continue increasing the strength of the Anti-God Society, Lin Yuan gave away all the divine weapon fragments he had obtained earlier.


    These divine weapon fragments were given to cultivate new Evil Warrior Commander.


    Lin Yuanprehended all these divine weapon fragments, and keeping them by his side would serve no purpose.


    In addition, the bestowed divine weapon fragments were also refined,pletely obeying Lin Yuan''smands.


    The Evil Warrior Commanders cultivated from these divine weapons could not be unruly but belonged entirely to Lin Yuan''s loyal subordinates.


    Time passed.


    In the blink of an eye, five years had gone by.


    Capital of the Great Yan Dinasty.


    Hundred Flowers Pce.


    This was the pce where the Great YanEmpress had lived when she was a consort.


    Although, with the Empress''s status, she should be able to move to a higher standard pce, Empress Wang Shangfeng did not do so.


    She had lived in the Hundred Flowers Pce for over ten years and had grown ustomed to it.


    On this day, Lin Yuan came to visit his mother.


    Since ascending to the throne, Lin Yuan had focused most of his energy on cultivation, visiting only once every six months or even a year.


    "Yuan''er, how do you feel about the concubines I selected for youst time?" Empress Wang Shangfeng asked.


    Although Wang Shangfeng was over ny years old, she looked only about forty-five, with a healthyplexion.


    In this world''s cultivation system, the Blood Refining Martial Saint wasparable to the peak of the Second Rank. However, in terms of longevity, it was not very useful. Even Martial Saints, at most, could live a little over a hundred years.


    Lin Yuan spected that this was also influenced by divine weapons.


    After all, the longer one lived, the more likely they were to explore realms beyond Martial Saints.


    Most of the thirty-six divine weapons were dormant most of the time, naturally preventing things beyond their control.


    Even for Blood Refining Martial Saints, after reaching this stage, most lived to be eighty or ny years old, with declining vitality, approaching the end of their lifespan.


    Where would there be energy to explore the realms beyond Martial Saints?


    Wang Shangfeng, not being a Martial Saint, at her age, remained lively and active, thanks to Lin Yuan''s secret bone marrow cleansing.


    Considering Lin Yuan''s current strength, the bone marrow cleansing he performed for Wang Shangfeng was akin to an elixir of immortality.


    Given Wang Shangfeng''s current physical condition, living to two hundred years was not a problem.


    "eptable" Lin Yuan casually replied.


    After sixty years of reign, Lin Yuan had not produced any offspring.


    This was mainly unnecessary; Lin Yuan was not Emperor Liu Shi, who needed heirs to determine the crown prince and the dynasty''s sessor.


    Lin Yuan did not need these. With his lifespan, even if he had offspring and determined a crown prince, the crown prince would surely precede him in death.


    At least staying in this realm for a hundred and sixty years was enough to oust the Blood Refining Martial Saint.


    Even if he did decide to leave descendants, it would be considered in thest twenty or thirty years of his stay.


    Empress Wang Shangfeng, hearing Lin Yuan''s reply, immediately understood that her son was just cating her.


    But now, Wang Shangfeng had no way to deal with Lin Yuan.


    Under Lin Yuan''s rule, the Great Yan Dynasty, now almostparable to the most powerful countries among the thirty-six states of the Central ins, had Lin Yuan''s prestige surpassing all previous emperors, bing the most aplished emperor since the establishment of the Great YanDynasty.


    "Oh, by the way, your father has not been feeling welltely. Yuan''er, find some time to visit him" Empress Wang Shangfeng said in a low voice.


    "Alright" Lin Yuan nodded.


    Leaving the Hundred Flowers Pce, members of the imperial family came to pay their respects.


    "Your Majesty, it has been more than ten years since our Great YanDynastyst produced a Warrior Commander."


    This member of the imperial family was Lin Yuan''s elder and now, with signs of aging, reminded Lin Yuan.


    For the thirty-six states of the Central ins, the most crucial aspect was cultivating Warrior Commanders.


    Everything else was secondary; only with Warrior Commanders could a nation be stabilized.


    The previous Warrior Commander, Lin Yuan''s seventh sister, passed away over ten years ago. Since the seventh sister had never allowed the divine weapons to be revived, or even activated them, her lifespan was longer than that of previous Warrior Commanders.


    ''Warrior Commander.''


    Lin Yuan recalled his seventh sister who had run to him fifty or sixty years ago, appearing before him, showing a red-eyed farewell.


    Once bing a Warrior Commander, it was equivalent to being bound to the divine weapons. Unless Lin Yuan''s strength overwhelmed them, it was challenging to sever the connection.


    "This matter is not urgent" Lin Yuan said casually.


    "Understood."


    The member of the imperial family hesitated but ultimately did not say anything.


    After dismissing this member of the imperial family, Lin Yuan soon met with the former emperor, Liu Shi.


    Compared to Empress Wang Shangfeng, Liu Shi''s condition was much worse. His beard had turned white, and his skin had wrinkled.


    This was because Lin Yuan had not performed the bone marrow cleansing for Liu Shi.


    Liu Shi, as the former emperor of the Great YanDynasty, had conducted numerous sacrifices to the national divine weapons. His body had long been marked by the divine weapons.


    If Lin Yuan were to use his own power for bone marrow cleansing on Liu Shi, it would likely alert the national divine weapons.


    "Father."


    Lin Yuan chatted with the former emperor Liu Shi for a long time. Mainly, Liu Shi spoke, and Lin Yuan listened.


    Liu Shi had some knowledge of the current situation in the Great YanDynasty. His son had be the most aplished monarch in the history of the dynasty.


    Liu Shi naturally felt joy from the bottom of his heart.


    "Yuan''er, I''m afraid my time ising."


    "The thing I regret the least in my life is entrusting the Great Yanto you, my son."


    After talking for a while, Liu Shi felt fatigued and closed his eyes to sleep.


    "It''s about time."


    Leaving the pce where the former emperor Liu Shi resided, Lin Yuan looked north.


    That was the location of the ancestralnd of the Great YanDynasty''s divine weapons.


    Five or six years ago, Lin Yuan had already reached the quasi-Fourth Rank,parable to the divine weapons. Now, after absorbing the essence of many evil weapons like the Sky-CleavingAxe, his strength had once again improved.


    The next day, in the court, the civil and military officials of the Great Yan Dynasty were excited. Lin Yuan would participate in the morning court session to discuss national affairs with the ministers.


    This was uplifting for the officials because the current emperor of the Great YanDynasty, despite being the most capable in history, rarely appeared in public.


    Many new courtiers had not seen the emperor in person.


    Countless people of the Great YanDynasty regarded Lin Yuan as the most respected figure in their hearts. Without Lin Yuan, how could the dynasty achieve such prosperity?


    On the Dragon Throne, Lin Yuan sat casually. Ministers below stood up one by one, reporting national affairs.


    When the morning court was almost over, the Minister of Rites finally stepped forward.


    "Your Majesty has been on the throne for over fifty years. ording to the ancestral customs, it is time to go to the divine weapons'' ancestralnd for a ritual."


    The Minister of Rites mechanically recited, with no expectation of a positive response.


    For more than fifty years, Lin Yuan had experienced three Ministers of Rites. All three had advised the emperor to go to the divine weapons'' ancestralnd for a ritual during each morning court, but the emperor had never responded. The three Ministers of Rites did not dare to insist, but they continued this practice, hoping for an opportunity.


    However, after the current Minister of Rites finished speaking, Lin Yuan nodded slightly, stood up, and said, "Indeed, it''s time to go to the ancestralnd for the ritual."


    The current Minister of Rites was momentarily stunned. Then his eyes began to moisten.


    For more than fifty years, the emperor''s health had finally improved, and he intended to go to the divine weapons'' ancestralnd for a ritual. (Health lol haha :D)


    ...

 Chapter 78

    Chapter 78


    The ancestralnd of divine weapons is the ce where the national divine weapons are worshipped.


    In the Central ins, there are thirty-six national divine weapons, and naturally, there are thirty-six ancestralnds for divine weapons.


    For the royal families of the thirty-six countries, sacrificing to the divine weapons is more important than worshipping ancestors or the previous emperors. (How sad :c)


    Lin Yuan, making independent decisions in the Great Yan Dynasty, resisted the pressure from the court to dy the sacrifice to the divine weapons for fifty to sixty years.


    Even so, the number of living sacrifices sent to the ancestralnd every year has not decreased.


    Lin Yuan turned a blind eye to this.


    Things like the session of the throne might not concern the divine weapons.


    However, the matter of living sacrifices was crucial. If there was any reduction, it would undoubtedly attract the attention of the divine weapons.


    At that time, the divine weapons would revive and actively seek sacrifices.


    The consequences of this would be difficult for the Great YanDynasty to bear.


    After all, once the divine weapons revived, the number of sacrifices they required would far exceed the dormant period.


    Therefore


    Until there was enough strength to suppress the divine weapons, maintaining the status quo to gain more time for improvement was the correct choice.


    At least Lin Yuan could take the initiative and choose the right time to act.


    For example, now.


    This was an opportunity that Lin Yuan considered appropriate.


    Taking advantage of the sacrifice, he could attract the divine weapons and strike when the opponent was ''feeding.''


    "Divine weapons."


    After Lin Yuan agreed to sacrifice to the divine weapons, the Minister of Rites and many other courtiers hurriedly prepared various rituals needed for the sacrifice.


    Meanwhile, Lin Yuan was contemting the matter of the ''divine weapons''.


    Since he had decided to make a move against the divine weapons, Lin Yuan was fully prepared.


    By browsing the memories of many ''evil weapons'', Lin Yuan had a deep understanding of the thirty-six divine weapons.


    Ignoring theirbat power for now, Lin Yuan was confident that he was not weaker than any of the divine weapons.


    What Lin Yuan needed to be cautious about was the divine weapons'' ultimate trump cardintegration with heaven and earth.


    Whether divine weapons or evil weapons, they were essentially external manifestations of the essence of the rules of heaven and earth.


    Since it was an external manifestation, when necessary, it could naturally be re-integrated.


    The evil weapon''s core was shattered and iplete, so it couldn''t return to heaven and earth.


    However, divine weapons were different.


    As long as the divine weapons were willing, they couldpletely integrate with heaven and earth.


    In such a state, even if Lin Yuan was a hundred or a thousand times stronger, unless he could destroy heaven and earth, he would be helpless.


    Of course, unless absolutely necessary, divine weapons would not choose to return to heaven and earth.


    Because in doing so, the divine weapon''s consciousness would be washed by the consciousness of heaven and earth.


    In simple terms, it would be ''formatted''.


    After thousands of years, even if it detached from heaven and earth again, the divine weapon would not be the same as the original one.


    However.


    Since Lin Yuan chose to make a move against the divine weapons.


    He would definitely not watch the opponent return to heaven and earth.


    One of Lin Yuan''s main objectives in taking action was to suppress the divine weapons andprehend the essence of the rules contained within them.


    For decades, the essence of the rules within many evil weapon fragments had brought Lin Yuan significant help.


    And that was just evil weapons, or rather, fragments of divine weapons.


    If it were aplete divine weapon with theplete essence of the rules, how much help would it provide to Lin Yuan?


    At least it could elevate him to the Fourth Rank.


    Not an ordinary Fourth Rank.


    But a Fourth Rank based on the essence of the rules.


    "Since divine weapons can integrate with heaven and earth."


    "Then I''ll just directly iste heaven and earth."


    Lin Yuan''s gaze was calm.


    After descending to this world for eighty years, Lin Yuan, with his Unrivaled Insight, created a secret technique that isted heaven and earth.


    Using eighty-one evil weapons as the core, hepletely sealed off a certain area.


    That is, isting heaven and earth.


    However, the so-called ''sealing'' had a time limit.


    Heaven and earth had a healing ability, and with Lin Yuan''s methods, he could only seal it for a maximum of one hour.


    In other words, isting heaven and earth for one hour.


    The matter of the Great YanEmperor going to the ancestralnd to sacrifice to the divine weapons became the top priority in the court.


    Since it was a sacrifice, there would undoubtedly be arge number of offerings prepared.


    The offerings for the sacrifice to the divine weapons are naturally living beings, specifically those with vigorous Qi and blood, often practitioners.


    Since Lin Yuan ascended to the throne, although the number of offerings has not decreased, efforts have been made to select condemned or heavily sentenced criminals as sacrificial offerings.


    If the quantity is still insufficient, conscription from themon people is carried out.


    As long as they voluntarily be offerings, parents, children, etc., their family will receive the court''s care.


    The elderly are supported by the Great Yan Dynasty, and in terms of education, politics, and military service, they have priority for their descendants.


    This policy once caused controversy in the court; many ministers believed it was unnecessary and considered it an honor for thosemoners to sacrifice to the divine weapons.


    After all, implementing such a policy would undoubtedly put a significant strain on the national treasury.


    However, under Lin Yuan''s strong rule, this policy was still implemented.


    The process of sacrificing to the divine weapons is veryplicated.


    Many ministers were busy for most of the day before finally beginning the final sacrifice.


    Lin Yuan, as the emperor, walked at the forefront towards the central underground pce of the ancestralnd.


    Several hourster, Lin Yuan''s gaze became profound as he looked towards the central altar.


    In his perception, a majestic and overwhelming aura, like mountains and seas, was about to burst forth.


    This aura was fierce, majestic, sharp, and surpassed any evil weapon Lin Yuan had ever seen.


    Even the ''Sky-CleavingAxe'', with apleteness reaching ny percent, paled inparison to this aura.


    For eight thousand years, those evil weapons remained stagnant.


    However, the thirty-six divine weapons continuously consumed the vitality, blood, and souls of living beings, slowly advancing. After eight thousand years, they naturally surpassed their initial strength.


    Moreover, these thirty-six divine weapons emerged as the strongest from the hundred divine weapons during the ancient battle eight thousand years ago.


    "Sun-Moon Spear."


    A trace of surprise shed across Lin Yuan''s face.


    This national divine weapon of the Great YanDynasty, the Sun-Moon Spear, was one of the divine weapons most skilled in offense among the thirty-six.


    During that ancient divine weapon battle, the Sun-Moon Spear pierced through at least seven or eight divine weapons, disying terrifying power.


    "Alright."


    "You all can leave now."


    "I have something to discuss with the divine weapons."


    Lin Yuan, sensing that the Sun-Moon Spear was about to appear and consume the offerings, immediately turned and looked at the ministers and royal heirs.


    "Yes, Your Majesty."


    "In that case, we will leave first."


    The crowd was already finding it hard to breathe, as the aura of the Sun-Moon Spear gradually circted. Faced with such a heaven-and-earth-like aura, ordinary people would find it challenging to endure.


    Lin Yuan''s reason was also quite sufficient.


    The Great YanImperial Family was chosen by the divine weapons as their ''spokesperson.''


    As the emperor, Lin Yuan held the highest position in the imperial family and naturally could be alone with the divine weapons.


    Soon.


    Except for Lin Yuan.


    Everyone respectfully left.


    For a moment, in the vast and grand sacrificial altar, only Lin Yuan and the living sacrificial offerings kneeling at a distance remained.


    The sacrificial offerings for this ritual were all death row criminals from various regions.


    To ensure a smooth sacrifice, these criminals were already unconscious.


    Lin Yuan stood still, quietly waiting for the divine weapons to appear.


    At this moment, Lin Yuan restrained his aura, and even divine weapons would not perceive any abnormalities.


    Otherwise, with Lin Yuan''s physical strength and blood intensity, the Sun-Moon Spear would have gone berserk long ago, and it wouldn''t be as calm as it is now.


    Boom!


    Under Lin Yuan''s gaze, a divine dragon, stretching a hundred zhang and surrounded by sun and moon, slowly flew out.


    "A dragon?"


    Lin Yuan slightly narrowed his eyes.


    It wasn''t a dragon.


    The so-called ''divine dragon'' was just a phantom formed by the aura of the divine weapons.


    Lin Yuan saw that at the core of the ''divine dragon'' phantom, a hazy long spear hovered.


    The divine weapon, Sun-Moon Spear.


    Lin Yuan''s expression became slightly serious.


    This was not the first time he had seen a divine weapon.


    While browsing memories of those ''evil weapons,'' he had seen many divine weapons.


    He had even witnessed scenes of the Sun-Moon Spear stabbing out many times.


    However, the scenes were ultimately just images.


    Compared to the current Sun-Moon Spear, it was like the glow of a firefly against the brilliance of the full moon.


    "Whoosh!"


    The Sun-Moon Spear trembled lightly.


    The phantom of the hundred-zhang divine dragon opened its enormous mouth and sucked slightly towards the direction of the sacrificial offerings.


    Instantly, arge amount of Qi, blood, vitality, and souls were drawn into the dragon''s mouth.


    "This time''s sacrificial offerings are good."


    The Sun-Moon Spear emitted a massive spiritual fluctuation, apparently slightly satisfied.


    "Are you the new emperor?"


    The Sun-Moon Spear, as if sensing something, emitted spiritual fluctuations again.


    "Yes."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    "Since that''s the case."


    The Sun-Moon Spear swayed.


    An indescribable aura descended.


    Each emperor, during the period of sacrificing to the divine weapons, would be marked with the imprint of the divine weapon.


    It served as both intimidation and restriction.


    Lin Yuan had not performed the Bone Refining and Marrow Cleansing technique for the former emperors he was concerned about this divine weapon imprint.


    "Wait a moment."


    Seeing this, Lin Yuan immediately spoke up.


    As Lin Yuan uttered the word ''wait'', he lifted his right foot and took a step.


    By the time Lin Yuan finished saying the word ''wait'', his right footnded. With the sacrificial altar as the center, the surrounding heaven and earth had already been isted.


    ...

 Chapter 79

    Chapter 79


    Iste heaven and earth.


    For Lin Yuan, it''s not just about preventing the return of divine weapons to heaven and earth.


    More importantly, it is to block the breath fluctuations that ur when confronting divine weapons.


    In the thirty-six countries of the Central ins, each country has divine weaponsstationed, all of which emerged from the great battle eight thousand years ago.


    They collectively divided the thirty-six countries of the Central ins.


    These thirty-six divine weapons, living in peace, must have secretly made some agreement.


    For example, mutual vignce?


    If Lin Yuan suppresses the Sun and Moon Spear, once detected by the other thirty-five divine weapons, he might face the siege of all thirty-six divine weapons.


    Even if there is no mutual vignce agreement, after seeing Lin Yuan, such a powerful member of the human race, whether it is for sharing or preventing future troubles, the other thirty-five divine weaponswill also take action.


    Even if Lin Yuan can escape the encirclement, those thirty-five divine weapons, after witnessing Lin Yuan''s strength, will definitely have a strong sense of fear and probably harvest lives in order to quickly reach the fourth rank.


    After all, ording to the opinions of other evil weapons, the thirty-six divine weaponsare already close to the fourth rank.


    "What are you waiting for?"


    The Sun and Moon Spear did not perceive the changes in heaven and earth.


    It has just awakened from sleep, and its perception of the surroundings is somewhat weak.


    "A while ago, there was an evil weapon called ''Sky-CleavingAxe.''"


    Lin Yuan casually chose a topic to attract the attention of the Sun and Moon Spear.


    "Is it?"


    The Sun and Moon Spear slightly stunned, its tone revealing a hint of contempt.


    Eight thousand years ago, the Sky-CleavingAxe was not its opponent, let alone now.


    "If."


    The Sun and Moon Spear was about to exin the situation.


    But Lin Yuan lifted his right hand and slowly grasped it towards it.


    Buzz! Terrifying pressure filled every inch of the air.


    The ''divine dragon'' formed by the Sun and Moon Spear directly copsed.


    Lin Yuan''s figure moved forward in the air for nearly a kilometer, appearing in front of the Sun and Moon Spear, and then his outstretched right hand grabbed the spear.


    "How dare you?!!"


    The Sun and Moon Spear instinctively raged.


    For how many years.


    Even in the fierce battle eight thousand years ago, no divine weapon dared to approach it like this, let alone being grabbed.


    Except for the ''father god'' who forged it back then, no living being has ever done this.


    The terrifying aura of the divine weapon suddenly erupted, sharp to the extreme, almost tearing through the air, came towards Lin Yuan.


    "Toote."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    A smile appeared on his face.


    As if he had not approached, as if he had not grabbed the Sun and Moon Spear.


    With the power of the divine weapon, he could indeed contend with it for a while.


    He has locked the essence of the Sun and Moon Spear.


    No matter how it struggles, it''s in vain.


    And this is also Lin Yuan''s ultimate n.


    If he directly attacks the Sun and Moon Spear, apart from not knowing whether he can handle it, he is afraid that he won''t even know where the opponent''s essence is.


    And once he reveals his strength, arousing the vignce of the Sun and Moon Spear, it will be even more difficult.


    Only by using the pretext of sacrifice to make the Sun and Moon Spear lower its guard, can Lin Yuan, as the ''spokesperson,'' get close to the Sun and Moon Spear at close range.


    In this way, he can seize the vital point of this divine weapon instantly.


    "Indeed, it''s close to the fourth rank."


    Feeling the struggle of the Sun and Moon Spear in his hand, Lin Yuan became serious.


    At this moment, it seems that he is just holding a two-meter-long spear, but in fact, it is like holding a dragon that can soar through the clouds and rain.


    "How is this possible, how is this possible?"


    "Who are you, and how can you have such strength?"


    The Sun and Moon Spear is extremely frightened at this moment.


    After several counterattacks, all suppressed by Lin Yuan, the Sun and Moon Spear immediately realized its situation.


    Panic.


    The main body is suppressed, even if it has great magical powers and abilities, it is difficult to turn the situation around.


    "Tai Chi."


    In Lin Yuan''s eyes, faint ck and white vortexes appeared.


    In an instant, the Sun and Moon Spear felt the pressure it was enduring surge several times or even dozens of times.


    The extreme forces of Yin and Yang, along the spear, continuously invaded its consciousness.


    "It''s you who forced me."


    The spiritual fluctuations of the Sun and Moon Spear exploded.


    The spear''s body began to be illusory.


    It was obviously intending to return to heaven and earth.


    Although this method would cause its consciousness to extinguish, it was still better than falling into Lin Yuan''s hands.


    Moreover, facing the Tai Chi power suppression from Lin Yuan, facing that perfectly bnced extreme power, even if the Sun and Moon Spear did not return to heaven and earth, its own consciousness could notst for long.


    Instead of that, it might as well return to heaven and earth.


    "A thousand yearster, I will make your descendants of the Great Yan Dynasty suffer for this humiliation."


    The Sun and Moon Spear was ruthless, deeply imnting this obsession into its body.


    In this way, even if the Sun and Moon Spear reappeared in the world in the future, giving birth to a new consciousness, it would still harbor intense hatred towards the descendants of the Great Yan Dynasty.


    However.


    Just as the Sun and Moon Spear was halfway integrated, the originally illusory spear body solidified again.


    "This?"


    The Sun and Moon Spear was shocked.


    Its process of merging into heaven and earth was unexpectedly interrupted.


    "You, you actually, you actually separated heaven and earth?"


    The Sun and Moon Spear felt heavy in its mind.


    Iste heaven and earth.


    It sounds simple.


    But achieving it is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.


    Boom!


    With the further crushing of the Tai Chi grinding disc, the consciousness of the Sun and Moon Spear began to gradually fall into darkness.


    "Great sess."


    Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.


    At this moment, it is very close to the one-hour deadline for isting heaven and earth.


    Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened.


    "Aplete divine weapon."


    Lin Yuan looked at the Sun and Moon Spear in front of him, suppressed by him to the size of a palm.


    Even so, the Sun and Moon Spear still exuded a faint pressure, which was the pressure of the essence of the rules of heaven and earth.


    "Collect."


    Lin Yuan''s mind moved slightly.


    The fragments of evil weapons that had been arranged around his ancestralnd returned to him.


    With the disappearance of the evil weapons, the istion of heaven and earth was restored.


    However, the big battle has already ended at this moment, so there is naturally no problem.


    After suppressing the Sun and Moon Spear, Lin Yuan immediately returned to his underground pce.


    This ce was built in a remote corner of the Great Yan Dynasty, making it difficult for outsiders to detect.


    "Sun and Moon Spear."


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, looking at the palm-sized long spear in front of him, and for a moment, he seemed a bit obsessed.


    Observing aplete divine weapon, the first feeling it gave Lin Yuan was perfection, as if the sun, moon, and stars, everything in the universe, every structure, every part, perfectly fit into the universe.


    Several dayster, Sikong Lun came to the underground pce.


    He held a wooden box in his hand.


    Inside was a fragment of a weapon.


    It was an evil weapon.


    Lin Yuan had long issued orders for the Anti-God Society to collect various evil weapons.


    The evil weapon in the wooden box, though devoid of consciousness, was still a fragment of a divine weapon, meeting Lin Yuan''s requirements.


    However, when Sikong Lun approached the pce, seeing Lin Yuan sitting in the center of the pce, with the floating long spear in front of him, he was momentarily stunned.


    "That long spear, which evil weapon is it?"


    Sikong Lun looked somewhat puzzled.


    Among the many evil weapons he had collected for Lin Yuan, there were very few spear types.


    And Sikong Lun noticed that the long spear in front of Lin Yuan was exceptionally intact, as if, as if Sikong Lun''s gaze gradually became dull, and waves of shock surged in his heart.


    Because he felt, very cautiously felt, that the long spear seemed not to be an evil weapon.


    But a divine weapon.


    Aplete divine weapon.


    But how is this possible?


    Divine weapons in the world are predetermined.


    Thirty-six divine weapons overlook the world.


    How could there be an additional divine weapon now?


    "Is it the Sun and Moon Spear, the one from the Great Yan Dynasty?"


    Sikong Lun trembled in his heart.


    A majestic divine weapon, actually submissive in front of Lin Yuan, this is simply, this is simply unbelievable.


    Although Sikong Lun knew that Lin Yuan had once suppressed several evil warriormanders, evil weapons were still evil weapons, could theypare to true divine weapons?


    "My lord."


    Sikong Lun''s legs went weak, and for a moment, he dared not approach.


    In the center of the pce, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    Afterpletely suppressing the Sun and Moon Spear, Lin Yuan attempted to browse its memories.


    Boom!


    A massive spiritual force began to invade.


    The memories of the Sun and Moon Spear over thousands of years gradually unfolded before Lin Yuan.


    Compared to other evil weapons, the Sun and Moon Spear was aplete divine weapon, with no fragmented memories.


    Lin Yuan''s expression became solemn, and in no time, he browsed to a time ten thousand years ago.


    Memories from ten thousand years ago were something Lin Yuan had never encountered before, as the other evil weapon cores were shattered, losing this portion of memories long ago.


    Boom.


    Apanied by the memories of the Sun and Moon Spear, Lin Yuan seemed to have arrived to ten thousand years ago.


    It was a vast world, and Lin Yuan looked around.


    Soon, he saw a colossal figure.


    It was immensely towering, radiating endless brilliance.


    It was the ancient divine being.


    ...

 Chapter 80

    Chapter 80


    Thousands of years ago, the concept of ''nations'' did not exist.


    At that time, the human race lived in tribal forms, hunting and surviving in the four corners of the world.


    In that incredibly distant ancient period, a divine being appeared.


    It walked the world, observing all things.


    Eventually, it offered sacrifices of mountains and rivers, refining the four seas.


    Against the natural order, it forcefully created a hundred weapons within the heavens and earth.


    These hundred weapons were the manifestation of the essence of thews of heaven and earth and were forcibly taken from the heavens and earth by that ancient divine being.


    Without this ancient divine being, these hundred weapons would not have been able to break free from the control of heaven and earth and separate themselves.


    And these hundred weapons became the mighty divine weapons ofter times.


    "You''re the eldest, you''re the second, you''re the third."


    The face of the ancient divine being was blurry as it looked towards the hundred weapons floating in the heavens and earth, emitting a vast spiritual fluctuation.


    And Lin Yuan, at this moment, viewed the world through the perspective of a single spear.


    The Sun and Moon Spear.


    The Sun and Moon Spear was the eighteenth weapon forged by that ancient divine being.


    Hence, it was called ''Old Eighteen''.


    But who knows how many years had passed.


    The ancient divine being returned to the hundred divine weapons once again.


    "I''m leaving."


    "In the future, this world will only have you all."


    After saying these words, the ancient divine being disappeared.


    After that, time passed swiftly.


    The ancient divine being never appeared again.


    And the sentience of the hundred divine weapons became increasingly perfect.


    Finally, one day, they discovered that the vitality and souls of the human race were of great use to their growth.


    So, they began to harvest the human race.


    However,ter on, the leading tower-shaped divine weapon realized.


    At the rate at which they, the hundred divine weapons, devoured the human race, it was estimated that in just a few years, the human race on thisnd would be extinct.


    At that time, all the divine weapons would have no more humans to consume, and their own growth would return to an extremely slow pace.


    So, this tower-shaped divine weapon began to restrict the other divine weapons.


    This action gained the approval of some divine weapons and caused opposition from others.


    In the end, the hundred divine weapons reached an agreement.


    They would keep all humans confined to a certain area, and at regr intervals, they would select some to devour.


    This was the embryonic form of theter thirty-six nations in the Central ins.


    A thousand or two thousand years passed again.


    Some divine weapons discovered that certain weapons devoured more humans than others.


    This unequal distribution led to a great battle among the hundred divine weapons.


    In that great battle, sixty-four divine weapons were shattered.


    The most powerful thirty-six divine weapons enjoyed all the humans.


    Inside the underground pce, Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes.


    By browsing through the ''memories'' of the Sun and Moon Spear, Lin Yuan gained some understanding of that ancient divine being.


    It was evident.


    The strength of the ancient divine being was at least at the fourth rank.


    It might even be at the peak of the fourth rank.


    As for why the ancient divine being traversed mountains and rivers, contested with the heavens and earth, and forcibly created those hundred divine weapons.


    Lin Yuan spected that the ancient divine being should have been attracted by the fundamental essence of this world''s rules.


    While forging the hundred divine weapons, the ancient divine being was alsoprehending many rules within the divine weapons.


    Although the ancient divine being''s insight couldn''tpare to Lin Yuan''s, it had the advantage of time.


    The ancient era, tens of thousands of years ago,sted for at least several thousand years.


    Such a long period,bined with the ancient divine being''s role as the creator of divine weapons, undoubtedly brought significant benefits.


    "A true divine weapon."


    Thoughts surged, and Lin Yuan''s gaze once again fell on the Sun and Moon Spear.


    Even though the Sun and Moon Spear was currently suppressed by Lin Yuan and its consciousness was asleep, solely relying on the instinctive resistance of the spear body was enough to shatter hundreds or thousands of Blood-Refining Martial Saints.


    Of course, these resistances were negligible for Lin Yuan.


    "Sun and Moon."


    Lin Yuan reached out, gently caressing the spear body, feeling the textures and rules within it, and countless inspirations burst forth in his mind.


    [Your insight is unrivaled, observing and touching theplete essence of the rules in this world, you have made an impact on the rules of the Sun and Moon]


    [Your insight is unrivaled, observing and touching theplete essence of the rules in this world, you have made an impact on the rules of the Sun and Moon]


    [Your insight is unrivaled, observing and touching theplete essence of the rules in this world, you have made an impact on the rules of the Sun and Moon]


    In just a moment, Lin Yuan felt that the path ahead had be much clearer.


    "No wonder it''s a divine weapon."


    Lin Yuan sighed slightly.


    Compared to those broken evil weapons, divine weapons provided Lin Yuan with a qualitative transformation.


    Especially the essence of the sun and moon contained in the Sun and Moon Spear, which resonated with Lin Yuan''s Tao of Tai Chi.


    The sun and moon, inherently part of Yin and Yang,prehending the essence of the sun and moon also had a significantpensatory effect on the Tao of Tai Chi.


    "Unfortunately."


    "There''s only one divine weapon." Lin Yuan looked at the Sun and Moon Spear, but his mind was on the other thirty-five divine weapons.


    If all the divine weapons were ced in front of him, allowing him toprehend freely, wouldn''t that be great?


    But Lin Yuan also knew that currently, it was just wishful thinking.


    As for employing the method used to suppress the Sun and Moon Spear to continue suppressing other divine weapons, it was almost impossible.


    The thirty-six divine weapons were interconnected.


    Lin Yuan isted himself from heaven and earth to suppress the Sun and Moon Spear, indeed not alerting the other divine weapons.


    However, after the aura of the Sun and Moon Spearpletely disappeared, the other divine weapons couldn''t sense its presence for a long time.


    Certainly, they would be wary.


    If Lin Yuan continued to act, not only would he likely gain nothing, but there was also a significant possibility that the other thirty-five divine weapons would wait in ambush.


    Never underestimate the sentience of divine weapons; over thousands of years, their wisdom rivaled that of the main world''s AIs, if not surpassing ordinary humans by countless measures.


    "But one divine weapon is enough."


    "The inherent essence of its rules is enough to push me to the fourth rank."


    Lin Yuan was content in his heart; being able to sessfully suppress the Sun and Moon Spear this time had met his expectations.


    After contemting for a while, Lin Yuan''s thoughts shifted, and he put away the Sun and Moon Spear, ncing at the pce''s exterior.


    At this moment, Sikong Lun was still waiting respectfully, not daring to enter the hall without Lin Yuan''smand.


    "Come in."


    Lin Yuan spoke.


    His voice was not loud, but it echoed clearly in Sikong Lun''s ears.


    "Yes."


    Sikong Lun took a deep breath and walked into the pce.


    "My lord."


    "These are evil weapons."


    "As per your previous instructions, I''ve collected evil weapons as much as possible."


    Sikong Lun handed over a wooden box, bing even more reverent.


    "Understood."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    Now that he had divine weapons in his hands, he naturally looked down on mere evil weapons.


    However, even if the evil weapons contained a broken essence of the rules, they still had some utility for Lin Yuan.


    "Then, this subordinate will take his leave."


    Sikong Lun left the wooden box and was about to withdraw respectfully.


    "So many years, you should know who I am by now, right?"


    Lin Yuan suddenly said.


    Since the time of Sikong Lun''s allegiance until now, it had been decades.


    Lin Yuan had never revealed his identity to Sikong Lun.


    At these words, Sikong Lun''s heart trembled.


    If, before, he could only guess in his heart, then just now, after seeing Lin Yuan y with the Sun and Moon Spear, which originally belonged to the Great Yan Dynasty, Sikong Lun almost had a ny percent certainty.


    Confirming the identity of the ''lord'' he served was none other than the emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty.


    Although such spection was extremely unbelievable, the Emperor of Great Yan was chosen as the ''representative'' by the divine weapons and didn''t have to worry about being devoured by the divine weapons like ordinary people at any time.


    "Greetings, Your Majesty."


    Sikong Lun steadied himself and respectfully said.


    "Not bad."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    Sikong Lun''s guess about his identity wasn''t difficult.


    In recent years, the Anti-God Society often cooperated secretly with the Great Yan Dynasty.


    Outsiders were unaware of these matters, and even the royal family and the n were clueless, but Sikong Lun, the person in charge of the Anti-God Society, had some awareness.


    "Next, ording to the thoughts of those evil weapons, let''s stir up a decisive battle."


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged and said lightly.


    Topletely resolve the remaining thirty-five divine weapons, they had to lure them all out.


    If dealt with one by one, once other divine weapons saw Lin Yuan''s true strength, they would inevitably hesitate to show themselves.


    And a divine weapon trying to hide, given Lin Yuan''s bottom line integrated with thews of heaven and earth, was something he couldn''t deal with.


    His n was to let the Anti-God Society and many evil weapon wielders shake the rule of the Central ins Thirty-Six Nations, forcing the remaining thirty-five divine weapons to take action.


    After all, the Central ins Thirty-Six Nations were the captivend of the divine weapons. If the Anti-God Society rebelled, those divine weapons would be the first unable to endure.


    "Alright."


    Sikong Lun nodded.


    If it were in the past, he wouldn''t hold much hope for such a decisive battle. It might even lead to a ''war disaster'' like thousands of years ago.


    However, after seeing Lin Yuan handling the ''Sun and Moon Spear'' just now, Sikong Lun suddenly harbored a trace of hope in his heart.


    "Also."


    "Go and find some powerful souls to bring over."


    "I will personally train some evil weapon wielders."


    Lin Yuan said again.


    This time, the evil weapon wielders he was cultivating were top-tier, with at least ny percentpleteness in the evil weapons.


    Evil weapons, being fragments of divine weapons from ancient times, couldn''t heal themselves independently. This was also the reason why, in eight thousand years, not a single evil weapon had recovered to the state of aplete divine weapon.


    However, evil weapons couldn''t self-heal, but Lin Yuan could.


    With the many evil weapons Lin Yuan currently possessed, he couldpletely piece together two or threeplete divine weapons.


    Of course, thebat power of pieced-together divine weapons was far from matching the current thirty-six divine weapons in the world.


    After all, those divine weapons, having been harvested and nurtured for eight thousand years, had gained significant strength.


    Butplete evil weapons could at least sweep all strong individuals beneath divine weapons.


    It might even force the remaining thirty-five divine weapons to show themselves.

    Chapter 81


    Just as Lin Yuan suppressed the Sun-Moon Spear not long ago.


    In the remaining thirty-five countries of the Central ins, to be precise, in the ancestralnds of these thirty-five countries'' divine weapons.


    A massive spiritual fluctuation is awakening.


    "Where is Old Eighteen?"


    "Why did Old Eighteen''s aura disappear?"


    "What happened? Could it be that Old Eighteen actively isted his own aura?"


    "Could there be an ident?"


    "We divine weapons, overlooking all living beings, what ident could happen?"


    Dozens of massive divine consciousnesses, following the connection in the unknown, began tomunicate.


    Divine weapons originate from the rules of heaven and earth, so as long as they are willing, they can easily sense the aura of other divine weapons, provided that the divine weapon does not actively iste its aura.


    "Regardless of what happened, this period is crucial for us to take that step. Even if you are consuming sacrifices, be careful and try not to reveal your true form as much as possible."


    A massive spiritual fluctuationes,ing from a tower-shaped divine weapon.


    This tower-shaped divine weapon was the first divine weapon forged by the ancient divine being in ancient times, and among the thirty-six divine weapons, or rather among the hundred divine weapons, it can be considered the strongest.


    Time passes.


    In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.


    Compared to the past, these ten years can be described as turbulent.


    The conflict between the Anti-God Society and the thirty-six countries of the Central ins has further escted.


    Originally, divine weapons sacrificing sentient beings as food had already caused dissatisfaction among many people in the world.


    After all, what''s the difference between them and the livestock they raise?


    But under the powerful suppression of the thirty-six countries of the Central ins, this dissatisfaction can only be deeply buried.


    There was no way.


    Without a leader stepping forward, even if they are dissatisfied and unwilling, they cannot gather.


    But this time, the Anti-God Society took the initiative to y the role of a ''leader'', calling on the people of the world to stand up and resist, no longer bing thoughtless ''livestock''.


    Great Xia Dynasty.


    Capital city.


    Inside a tavern.


    A storyteller is passionately speaking.


    "Everyone, the thirty-six countries of the Central ins regard us as livestock, as livestock raised by divine weapons. But why?"


    "We don''t care, we''re already old, but our children, our grandchildren, our great-grandchildren, why should they be like this? Why should divine weapons be high and mighty, while we be their food? Why can divine weapons overlook all living beings, while we have to be looked down upon? Why can divine weapons decide everything, while we are the ones being decided upon?" (I wonder what would happen if the pigs think this way :D)


    The storyteller is naturally a member of the Anti-God Society, and he came here to promote the ideology of the Anti-God Society and awaken the resistance in the hearts of the people.


    "Good."


    "Yes, why?"


    "I was born a human, why should I be food?"


    The guests in the tavern immediately became excited. If it was just them, it would be fine, but their descendants, the descendants of their descendants, are all living like numb livestock.


    This is simply unbearable.


    "We must resist."


    "Resist divine weapons!"


    A young man excitedly stood up. His name is Xu Chong. Not long ago, his father was forcibly conscripted by the Great Xia Dynasty and became a sacrifice.


    In fact, it should have been him as the sacrifice, but his father resolutely went to his death for him.


    Now, hearing these words, he is immediately blinded by anger and stands up to echo the words of the storyteller.


    Not only Xu Chong, but other people are also like this.


    After long years of umtion, there are definitely many people who harbor resentment against divine weapons.


    At the same time.


    On the high tform.


    The storyteller scans the surroundings.


    Inside him, a piece of an evil weapon with apleteness of seventy percent quickly senses someone.


    "It''s that person, with a powerful innate spirit, should be suitable to be a Warrior Commander." The evil weapon locks onto Xu Chong.


    "Good."


    The storyteller nods slightly.


    Remembered Xu Chong''s appearance.


    "Bad news, bad news."


    "The officials areing."


    At this moment, someone rushes into the tavern in a hurry.


    "Everyone, don''t worry."


    The storyteller immediately stands up.


    "Under the table, there''s a secret passage. If you''re worried about meeting the officials, you can leave through this secret passage."


    The storyteller waves his hand, and a one-meter-high entrance appears.


    Immediately.


    Arge number of customers begin to leave through the secret passage.


    What a joke.


    Expressions like those advocating the slogans of the Anti-God Society may soundforting.


    However, if caught by the officials, it would undoubtedly result in being directly designated as a sacrifice, offered to the divine weapons for consumption the next time.


    "I acted impulsively."


    Quickly walking out of the secret passage, Xu Chong''s forehead breaks into a cold sweat.


    At this moment, he realizes that responding to that storyteller was indeed unwise.


    No matter how powerful the Anti-God Society is, the current Central ins Thirty-Six Countries are the absolute rulers.


    His recent actions, if leaked out, could bring cmity to his entire family.


    "I can''t die."


    "I still have a mother to support, and my sister has not yet married."


    Xu Chong keeps thinking about this in his mind.


    "But."


    "That speech just now, saying it out loud, it felt really great."


    For some reason, the thought suddenly shes through Xu Chong''s mind.


    Just as Xu Chong is regaining hisposure, intending to return home.


    A figure emerges from the shadows ahead.


    Xu Chong takes a closer look.


    It''s the storyteller from earlier.


    "Young friend."


    Seeing Xu Chong, the storyteller reveals a smile on his face.


    "Would you be willing to join us in overthrowing the rule of the divine weapons?"


    ...


    Entrance to the underground pce.


    Sikong Lun looks at Xu Chong, whose gaze is nk, and nods slightly, saying, "Youe in with me."


    "Alright."


    Xu Chong nods.


    Even now, he feels like he''s still in a dream.


    Since being stopped by that storyteller and asked if he was willing to join in overthrowing the rule of the divine weapons.


    Xu Chong inexplicably agreed.


    He didn''t even think, he just agreed outright.


    Then he was taken away by that storyteller, tossed and turned, and finally arrived here.


    "My mother and sister..."


    Walking behind Sikong Lun, Xu Chong couldn''t help but ask.


    "Don''t worry, your mother will be taken care of properly, and you don''t have to worry too much about your sister. Since you''ve joined the Anti-God Society, these concerns will definitely be resolved."


    "Even in the future."


    When Sikong Lun says this, he pauses for a moment before continuing, "If the Anti-God Society loses, and we are besieged by the Thirty-Six Countries, your family won''t be implicated."


    "That''s good."


    Hearing this, Xu Chong slightly rxes.


    For some reason, hepletely believes Sikong Lun''s words.


    The two walk along the underground passage, heading deeper.


    "Sir."


    Xu Chong doesn''t know what to call Sikong Lun, so he can only address him as ''sir.''


    "Where are we going now?"


    Xu Chong expresses his doubts.


    The storyteller only told him that they were going to see an important person, but didn''t reveal any specifics.


    "I''m taking you to see someone."


    Sikong Lun doesn''t hide anything and adds, "We''re going to meet the most important person in the Anti-God Society. If it weren''t for him, the current Anti-God Society would still be hiding in the sewers like rats."


    "Ah?"


    Hearing this, Xu Chong is dumbfounded and instinctively asks, "Then he must be very powerful."


    "Naturally, he''s very powerful."


    Sikong Lun says it matter-of-factly.


    In Sikong Lun''s eyes, there''s no one he has seen under the heavens and the earth who is stronger than Lin Yuan.


    "So that''s how it is."


    Xu Chong nods vaguely, trying again, "Is he a Warrior Commander?"


    In Xu Chong''s understanding, among the Thirty-Six Countries of the Central ins, aside from the divine weapons, Warrior Commanders are the most powerful.


    Warrior Commanders can activate divine weapons and harness their power.


    Even someone as strong as the Blood Refining Martial Saint, when facing a Warrior Commander, bes as fragile as an ant.


    "A Warrior Commander?"


    Sikong Lun pauses for a moment, a hint of disdain appearing on his face.


    In Sikong Lun''s eyes, the so-called divine weapon wielders, both for divine weapons and evil weapons, in Lin Yuan''s eyes, they are all just trivial beings, not worth mentioning.


    If one were to associate Lin Yuan with divine weapons and evil weapons...


    He is the Commander of Weapons.


    ...


    The final battle ising...


    15 chapters ahead on patreon: /David_Lord

 Chapter 82

    Chapter 82


    3000+ words :D


    The final battle ising..


    ...


    Soon.


    Xu Chong quickly saw Lin Yuan.


    Compared to the overwhelming momentum emanating from those high-ranking Warrior Commanders, Lin Yuan felt very ordinary to Xu Chong.


    Evenparing to the Blood Refining Martial Saint.


    If it weren''t for Sikong Lun repeatedly emphasizing that he must not show any disrespect, Xu Chong probably couldn''t help but look up.


    "Not a bad aptitude."


    Lin Yuan looked at Xu Chong and nodded slightly.


    In terms of mental strength, Xu Chong ranked in the top ten among the people Lin Yuan had encountered after his arrival in this world.


    The cultivation system in this world purely refines the physical body.


    The improvement of mental and soul aspects is basically nk.


    Even the Blood Refining Martial Saint is only vigorous in blood and energy.


    "This Sky-Cleaving Axe is for you."


    Lin Yuan''s mind moved slightly, and a ck axe the size of a palm flew out.


    Before Lin Yuan suppressed it, the Sky-Cleaving Axe was originally an Evil Weapon with apletion degree of nine-tenths.


    Over the years, Lin Yuan collected the remaining fragments of the Sky-Cleaving Axe and pieced it together.


    Afterpletion, the Sky-Cleaving Axe is no longer an Evil Weapon but a true Divine Weapon.


    Although it is still not as powerful as the thirty-six Divine Weapons like the Sun-Moon Spear, it surpasses other Evil Weapons.


    "What is that?"


    Xu Chong had not yet reacted.


    He watched the Sky-Cleaving Axe fly towards him.


    Finally, it merged into his forehead, forming a ck axe imprint.


    "For me?"


    Xu Chong only felt that something had been added to his body.


    A giant axe, asrge as a mountain, faintly appeared in his mind.


    "Get familiar with the power of Divine Weapons as much as possible."


    Lin Yuan looked at Xu Chong and said casually.


    The essential rules contained in the Sky-Cleaving Axe have all beenprehended by him.


    Continuing to keep it by his side would be of no use.


    Of course, although Lin Yuan gave the Sky-Cleaving Axe to Xu Chong, due to the refining rtionship, he could retract it with a single thought.


    Rather than saying Xu Chong is a Warrior Commander of the Sky-Cleaving Axe, it is more urate to say that he is the one who activates the Sky-Cleaving Axe for Lin Yuan.


    "Divine Weapon?"


    "Was that a Divine Weapon just now?"


    Xu Chong looked puzzled. How could he have expected that the ck axe he saw was actually the legendary Divine Weapon?


    Moreover was it not said that Divine Weapons have their own consciousness? High and mighty, not to be humiliated. What''s going on now?


    "Next, I will leave this ce."


    Lin Yuan ignored Xu Chong''s shock and looked towards Sikong Lun.


    Havingprehended the Sun-Moon Spear for ten years, Lin Yuan could step into the Fourth Rank at any time.


    During this period, Lin Yuan wanted to emte the ancient god ten thousand years ago, cross the river and pass the Five Mountains, and wander in this world.


    "Yes."


    Sikong Lun, as if wanting to ask something, swallowed back his words and respectfully said.


    Lin Yuan naturally saw Sikong Lun''s thoughts, shook his head and said, "If you encounter something unstoppable, just shout the two words ''Emperor Yan.''"


    Lin Yuan is the Great Yan Emperor, so naturally, he can also be called ''Emperor Yan.''


    "Yes."


    Sikong Lun slightly rxed when he heard this.


    With Lin Yuan''s words, he felt confident.


    "Emperor Yan?"


    In Xu Chong''s mind, he silently recited and stole a nce at Lin Yuan, deeply imprinting these two words in his mind.


    Before traveling through the world.


    Lin Yuan returned to the Great YanImperial Pce.


    The previous Emperor Liu Shi was in good spirits. After suppressing the Sun-Moon Spear, Lin Yuan had given him several bone-restructuring treatments. The whole person was radiant, and he estimated that he could live another hundred years.


    "Yuan''er, no matter what you want to do, do it boldly."


    Looking at his most satisfied son, Liu Shi spoke.


    In recent years, the world has been in turmoil, and the conflict between the Anti-God Society and the Central Thirty-Six Countries has been constantly colliding. Only the Great YanDynasty has remained silent.


    Liu Shi himself has been the emperor for decades and naturally realizes the problem. He spectes that Lin Yuan may have reached some kind of agreement with the Anti-GodSociety.


    The Anti-GodSociety insists on overthrowing the rule of the Divine Weapons, which is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the imperial families of the Central Thirty-Six Countries.


    Lin Yuan''s collusion with the Anti-GodSociety is undoubtedly a taboo.


    However, Liu Shi trusts his son, believing that there must be a reason for him to do so.


    Moreover, it''s just collusion, and there is no substantive evidence. Even if the other thirty-five countries be suspicious, what can they do


    Liu Shi couldn''t even dream that his son was not colluding with the Anti-God Society but was the mysterious master of the Anti-God Society. The current changes in the world are mostly because of his son.


    As time passed.


    Ten yearster.


    Central Thirty-Six Countries.


    Great Qi Dynasty.


    The Emperor of Great Qi had a gloomy expression, and a look of anger appeared on his face.


    "The remnants of the Anti-GodSociety, how dare they! How dare they!"


    The Emperor of Great Qi suddenly stood up and roared, and the many ministers below bowed their heads, not daring to speak.


    Over the past ten years, the Anti-GodSociety, with great momentum, began a frontal counterattack against the Central Thirty-Five Countries.


    For a while, like a spark that can ignite a prairie fire, the Anti-God Society was initially suppressed, but as time went on, the spread of the Anti-GodSociety''s ideology caused grievances to boil in various countries.


    In just ten years.


    The strength of the thirty-five countries in Central ins had been weakened, and seven dynasties had been upied by the Anti-GodSociety.


    The divine weapons of these seven dynasties seemed to have disappeared, never appearing from the beginning to the end.


    And just now, the Emperor of Great Qi learned that the neighboring Great Mo Dynasty, not long ago, had just been breached.


    Great Mo connected to Great Qi''s territory.


    With Great Mo Dynasty gone, the next one would naturally be the Great Qi Dynasty.


    In the court of Great Qi.


    The Emperor of Great Qi took a deep breath.


    Then he looked at the middle-aged man with an ancient face next to him.


    "I wonder what the Divine Weapons say?"


    The Emperor of Great Qi tried to appear calm as he asked.


    This middle-aged man with an ancient face was the Warrior Commander of the Great Qi Dynasty.


    Eight years ago, the divine weapons of the thirty-five countries, as if they had agreed in advance, all left their ancestralnds, and it was unknown where they went.


    ording to the message left by the divine weapons to their Warrior Commanders, they said they were about to take the final crucial step.


    Now, eight yearster, except for the Warrior Commanders who asionallymunicated with the divine weapons, others, including the emperors of each country, could not sense any trace of the divine weapons.


    "The Divine Weapons said that they are about to take that step, and they will return to the world soon."


    The middle-aged man with an ancient face said with excitement in his tone.


    Although the divine weapons had left a trace of power in them before leaving, making them notpletely withoutbat power.


    Compared with directly activating the divine weapons, it was far from enough, to the point that those Evil Weapon Commanders could directly block them head-on.


    "Good, good, good."


    The Emperor of Great Qi said three "good" in a row.


    In recent years, if they hadn''t lost the divine weapons, how could they have been defeated by the Anti-GodSociety?


    Fortunately, this difficult time was about to pass.


    The divine weapons were about to reign supreme again.


    As a legitimate dynasty, they would certainly return to their previous dominant position.


    "In that case."


    "I will join hands with other dynasties to fight against the Anti-GodSociety, then suppress them with the divine weapons, and eliminate all the remnants."


    Having been in power for decades, the Emperor of Great Qi immediately thought of a way to make things easy for decades or even hundreds of years in the future.


    The remnants of the Anti-GodSociety, like mice in the gutter, could not be killed no matter what.


    With the Anti-GodSociety''s reputation reaching its peak, many hidden dangers were bound toe out.


    If, at this time, they were to crush the Anti-God Society with an overwhelming posture,pletely shattering everything about the Anti-God Society, then for a long time in the future, the Anti-GodSociety would be unable to recover.


    On the contrary, if they spread the news that the divine weapons were about to return, the Anti-GodSociety would definitely be frightened and quickly withdraw, hiding back in the gutter, watching the Central Thirty-Six Countries with ill intent.


    The Emperor of Great Qi naturally chose the former of the two methods of dealing with the Anti-GodSociety.


    In the central position of the Central Thirty-Six Countries.


    The vast Five Mountains area turned into a battlefield, with the Anti-GodSociety on one side facing the remnants of the thirty-five countries. The strengths of both sides were vast and countless.


    On the side of the Anti-GodSociety.


    "How did these thirty-five countries dare to fight against us so boldly?"


    Xu Chong, sitting on the throne, frowned and said.


    In the past ten years, Xu Chong was no longer the ignorant young man. After countless battles, he had grown into a qualified Warrior Commander.


    By activating theplete Sky-Cleaving Axe, he could even suppress those Divine Weapon Commanders from the thirty-five countries.


    Although those Divine Weapon Commanders from the thirty-five countries seemed unable to directly borrow the power of the divine weapons, even so, Xu Chong''s outstanding achievements in battle were well-known throughout the world.


    "Could it be?"


    Xu Chong''s expression slightly changed.


    It seemed like he thought of something.


    The forces of the thirty-five countries dared to have such an open battle, and it was very likely that the divine weapons behind them had returned?


    "No matter."


    "Since the thirty-five countries dare to go to war, then we will go to war."


    After a moment of silence, Sikong Lun, sitting in the main seat, spoke.


    "Good."


    "Then let''s go to war."


    The other people on the field immediately stood up.


    Looking at the distance where the thirty-six countries were, their eyes were full of wariness and anticipation.


    They had been waiting for this day for too long.


    Five Mountains battlefield.


    Both sides suddenly began to fight fiercely.


    Both sides had a tacit understanding, with ordinary soldiers fighting ordinary soldiers, cultivators fighting cultivators, and Warrior Commanders battling each other.


    "Die!"


    Xu Chong grasped a huge ck axe and ruthlessly swung it.


    Instantly, several approaching Warrior Commanders were forced to retreat, and the random swing of the ck axe resulted in the beheading of one of the Warrior Commanders.


    This scene was uplifting.


    After all, very few Warrior Commanders from the thirty-five countries had fallen, even in the eight dynasties that had been breached by the Anti-GodSociety. Warrior Commanders, emperors, and others had all escaped in advance.


    It''s worth noting that in other eras, the Warrior Commanders of the thirty-five countries were invincible.


    For a moment, the morale on other battlefields shook, causing the side of the thirty-five countries to retreat continuously.


    On the other side.


    The emperors of the thirty-five countries gathered in the rear.


    They looked at the battlefield from afar, seeing their side continuously retreating, but their expressions remained unchanged.


    "Almost."


    "The Anti-GodSociety shouldn''t have any other means."


    "Please, let the Divine Weapons take action."


    The Emperor of Great Qi and other emperors exchanged nces, making a decision in their hearts.


    On the battlefield.


    Xu Chong wielded the ck giant axe, and the power from the divine weapon, the Sky-Cleaving Axe, surged and boiled.


    Suddenly.


    "Not good."


    "Those old guys areing."


    The consciousness of the Sky-Cleaving Axe suddenly trembled and quickly informed Xu Chong.


    "What old guys?"


    Xu Chong hadn''t reacted yet, and then he was surprised, "Are you saying those thirty-six divine weapons?"


    "Where are they?"


    Xu Chong looked around and didn''t easily retreat.


    In recent years, he also knew that the Sky-Cleaving Axe in his hand was nowplete and could be considered a true divine weapon. He felt that it wouldn''t be much weaker than those thirty-six divine weapons.


    Even if he encountered them, he wouldn''t be frightened and flee in panic.


    "How can they be so powerful?"


    "Trouble, trouble."


    "They have taken that step."


    The consciousness of the Sky-Cleaving Axe shivered, constantly emitting spiritual fluctuations, revealing a look of despair.


    "Where are they?"


    Xu Chong stood still, and no one dared to attack him.


    "They are in the sky."


    The consciousness of the Sky-Cleaving Axe barely recovered and informed Xu Chong.


    "In the sky?"


    Xu Chong looked up at the sky.


    Only to see, above the clouds, towering divine weapons had appeared at some point.


    These divine weapons were towering and majestic, totaling thirty-five, currently high above in the sky, overlooking the mortal world.


    The thirty-five giant divine weapons hanging high in the sky emitted an aura as vast as the heavens and the earth.


    This was also the reason why Xu Chong hadn''t noticed the other side, because their aura was too vast.


    It was like being on a vast and boundless sea. You would definitely notice the ships and scattered inds above, but the sea itself would be easy to ignore.


    "They...they..."


    Xu Chong''s teeth were chattering. In his countless expectations, using his strength to activate the Sky-Cleaving Axe, even if it couldn''t match the thirty-six divine weapons, it shouldn''t be too far apart.


    But now, seeing the thirty-five divine weapons, Xu Chong realized from the bottom of his heart that the gap between them and the Sky-Cleaving Axe was like a chasm.


    As Xu Chong looked up at the sky.


    More and more people on the battlefield also raised their heads.


    "They are Divine Weapons."


    "The Divine Weapons of our Great Qi Dynasty."


    "And those of our Great Chu Dynasty."


    "Hahaha, the doomsday for the remnants of the Anti-GodSociety hase."


    Countless people on the side of the thirty-five countries were exhrated. Some even knelt directly on the ground, weing the descent of the divine weapons.


    Inparison, the side of the Anti-GodSociety was in a miserable state.


    Especially those Evil Weapon Commanders felt more deeply the pressure from the sky, like the vastness of the heavens.


    At the same time.


    Above the sky.


    The thirty-five divine weapons emitted a massive spiritual fluctuation.


    "So many flesh and blood souls, simply delicious."


    "And those failures, it''s just right to deal with them together this time."


    "Although the breakthrough was sessful, it caused significant damage to our vitality, and we urgently need flesh and blood souls to replenish it."


    "Wait, why haven''t I seen Old Eighteen for such a long time?"


    "Perhaps Old Eighteen is hiding somewhere for transformation. It hasn''tpleted its transformation yet. Never mind, I''ll enjoy these flesh and blood souls first."


    The thirty-five divine weapons spread out simultaneously, and a terrifying pressure enveloped the entire Five Peaks battlefield.


    "Let''s start enjoying."


    In an instant, the divine weapons gently sucked, and tens of thousands of soldiers below from the thirty-five countries turned into dry bones.


    For the divine weapons, whether it was the thirty-five countries or the Anti-GodSociety, they were just food on a te.


    Now, due to their breakthrough and transformation, they needed flesh and blood souls, and they wouldn''t distinguish whether the food was cultivated by them or not.


    "Ah?"


    Xu Chong looked at the thirty-five divine weapons above the clouds, filled with despair.


    At this moment, the thirty-five divine weapons spread out, upying all directions,pletely sealing off this battlefield. Even if he wanted to escape, there was no way out.


    "It''s over."


    Xu Chong was in utter despair, feeling that there was probably no way out for him today.


    In such a situation, Xu Chong subconsciously began to review his entire life.


    From birth, there were parents, there was also his younger sister who was unfortunately taken away by that storytellerter, and then the struggle against the rule of the divine weapons.


    For some reason, Xu Chong''s thoughts seemed to have returned to that night ten years ago.


    At that time, when Sikong Lun led him into the underground pce, he saw the owner of the Anti-God Society, and was even given the Sky-Cleaving Axe by thetter.


    The scenes from Xu Chong''s memory gradually became clear. He seemed to remember that the owner of the Anti-God Society had said something. If faced with an irresistible situation, he could shout ''Emperor Yan''.


    Thinking to this point, Xu Chong didn''t know why, as if guided by something, he raised his head and stared directly at the thirty-five divine weapons above the clouds. He took a deep breath and shouted angrily, "EmperorYan!!!"


    In order to shout these two words, Xu Chong burned his blood and even borrowed the power of the Sky-Cleaving Axe.


    In an instant, the two words ''Emperor Yan'' spread in all directions, echoing throughout the entire Five Peaks battlefield.


    The heavens and the earth fell into a sudden silence.


    "Why are you shouting!"


    Just at this moment, another voice came.


    Everyone looked, only to see a young emperor in dragon robes, with a calm expression, stepping through the void, arriving at the top of the clouds, and reaching the same level as the thirty-five divine weapons.


    Lin Yuan floated in the air, looking at the thirty-five divine weapons.


    "I''ve been waiting for you."

    Chapter 83


    Above the clouds.


    Lin Yuan faced thirty-five divine weapons alone.


    Compared to the towering divine weapons that rivaled mountains, Lin Yuan appeared exceptionally small, like specks of dust.


    However, even under the terrifying pressure of the divine weapons, Lin Yuan remained suspended in the air without showing any signs of distress.


    "Who is that?"


    "To actually charge in front of the divine weapons?"


    "Seeking death!?"


    On the side of the thirty-five nations, the emperors raised their eyebrows as they witnessed this scene.


    Even if some of the divine weapons had consumed soldiers from their side just moments ago, it only caused them a brief moment of distress. They quickly brushed it off.


    Even if all their soldiers were devoured, as long as it led to theplete destruction of the Anti-God Society, the emperors considered it worthwhile.


    For the royal families of the thirty-five nations, soldiers were like leeks; if one batch died, another would quickly sprout.


    "Is that the master of the Anti-God Society?"


    "The emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty, right?"


    "Indeed, the rtionship between the Great Yan Dynasty and the Anti-God Society is significant. The mastermind behind the Anti-God Society might be the Great Yan Dynasty."


    "Emperor of the Great Yan, what do you want to do? Dere war against the divine weapons?"


    "But did you notice? The divine weapon, the national treasure of the Great Yan Dynasty, hasn''t appeared yet."


    Countless people looked up at the sky, both within and outside the Five Mountains Battlefield.


    The decisive battle between the thirty-five nations and the Anti-God Society attracted the attention of all beings in this world.


    Hidden cultivators, and even some remnants of divine weapon consciousness, paid attention.


    Eight thousand years ago, the great divine weapon war shattered sixty-four divine weapons, scattering them across the four corners of the world.


    Among these fragments, some refused to ept failure, turning into evil weapons and causing chaos.


    Otherspletely gave up and believed that the thirty-six national divine weapons were unbeatable, so they hid away.


    To most beings, the Anti-God Society represented the losers of the pastthe many evil weapons.


    However, the appearance of the Great Yan Emperor undoubtedly surprised the majority.


    Putting aside whether Lin Yuan could contend with the thirty-five divine weapons, his current performance alone, ignoring the pressure of the thirty-five divine weapons, was enough to demonstrate that the strength of this Great Yan Emperor far exceeded the limits of the human race in this world.


    Keep in mind that even for these evil weapons, facing the current transformed thirty-five divine weapons made them tremble with fear, wishing they could hide in a hole.


    "Master, can the master win?"


    On the battlefield, many evil weapons, including the Sky-Cleaving Axe, which Lin Yuan had refined, couldn''t help but wonder.


    They had experienced Lin Yuan''s strength up close and knew it was immensely powerful.


    However, at this moment, Lin Yuan faced not just one divine weapon, but thirty-five, and they were thest thirty-five to take that crucial step.


    Especially the leaders among them, the ones who surpassed other divine weapons eight thousand years agohow would they fare now?


    Above the clouds.


    Below the sky.


    The thirty-five divine weapons were visibly taken aback.


    Their immense spiritual fluctuations swept over Lin Yuan.


    But strangely, all the spiritual fluctuations were swallowed up by some force as soon as they approached within three feet of him.


    As if Lin Yuan himself were a ''ck hole'' capable of absorbing everything that came near.


    "Interesting"


    "Are you truly human?"


    A sword-shaped divine weapon emitted spiritual fluctuations with a hint of curiosity.


    "Forget whether you''re human or not; I can sense the vast sea of your blood and qi within you. Perhaps we can advance further consuming you."


    Another divine weapon emitted a greedy spiritual fluctuation.


    Boom! A force of divine weapons silently descended.


    Lin Yuan''s gaze remained calm. Even just looking at the thirty-five divine weapons, he felt as if he were observing some fundamental essence of the world.


    "Since everyone is here."


    "Then,e in."


    Lin Yuan raised his right hand.


    That force of divine weapons dissipated.


    Not only that.


    A terrifying aura suddenly erupted.


    The vast and expansive Five Mountains Battlefield, at this moment, emitted a series of auras, forming a giant cage that seemed to be taking shape.


    Ten years ago, Lin Yuan emted the ancient god, and in his first year traversing the world, he smoothly advanced to the fourth rank.


    ording to the essence of this world''s rules, entering the fourth rank deepened Lin Yuan''s understanding of the heavens and the earth.


    At the same time, he vaguely sensed that the national divine weapons of the other thirty-five countries were also on the verge of a breakthrough.


    Lin Yuan attempted to confront the thirty-five divine weapons one by one with the strength of the fourth rank.


    However, these divine weapons were very cautious. With Lin Yuan''s strength, forcefully attacking would indeed quickly suppress five or six of them, but it would undoubtedly drive the remaining divine weapons away.


    To deal with all of them, Lin Yuan deduced the world''s situation, secretly guiding the war between the Anti-God Society and the thirty-five nations, and setting the decisive battle location at the Five Mountains Battlefield.


    The Five Mountains Battlefield was located at the central position of the thirty-six nations, adjacent to rivers and mountains. Lin Yuan spent eight years walking through every corner of the Five MountainsBattlefield, arranging nodes.


    He forcibly condensed the entire Five Mountains Battlefield into a furnace, awaiting the gathering of the thirty-five divine weapons, where both sides would consume living beings, and then, it could trigger the formation of the furnace and subsequently suppress the thirty-five divine weapons.


    Rumble.


    A terrifying aura spread from all directions. Lin Yuan spent eight years, abandoning cultivation and enlightenment, focusing all his energy on the Five MountainsFurnace.


    At this moment, it suddenly erupted, reaching a power close to thete fourth rank. The spiritual fluctuations made the thirty-five divine weapons tremble.


    "What is this?"


    "No, quickly, run!"


    Seeing this scene, the divine weapons'' spiritual fluctuations trembled.


    For thousands of years, except for the ancient god, they had never been afraid of anything. Even in the divine weapon war eight thousand years ago, they emerged as the final victors.


    But now, sensing the vast aura from the entire Five MountainsBattlefield, all the divine weapons were scared.


    Hum!


    The thirty-five divine weapons, without hesitation, fled in all directions.


    On the ground, everyone who witnessed this scene was dumbfounded.


    They had not yet reacted to the changes in the aura of the Five MountainsBattlefield.


    Then they saw the thirty-five divine weapons high above scattering in all directions.


    Everyone widened their eyes, unable to recover for a long time.


    As it turned out, in the eyes of sentient beings, even the lofty divine weapons would have a day of escape.


    "Impossible."


    "The divine weapons are invincible."


    "How could they run away?"


    In the rear of the thirty-five nations, the emperors of various dynasties were bewildered.


    They were waiting to wee the descent of the divine weapons, but now the divine weapons were fleeing?


    If the divine weapons fled, what should they do?


    "Now you want to leave?"


    "It''s toote."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    If it had been just a moment ago when Lin Yuan appeared, the thirty-five divine weapons might have chosen to return to the heavens and the earth, and they might have escaped before the Five MountainsFurnacepletely sealed the world.


    However, in Lin Yuan''s calctions, this possibility was almost zero.


    After all, returning to the heavens and the earth for the divine weapons was almost equivalent to being remade.


    Consciousness and memories would bepletely washed away by the heavens and the earth, which was only a bit better thanplete death.


    These divine weapons had just taken that crucial step,pleted their transformation, and hadn''t enjoyed anything yet. How could they choose such an extreme method when faced with someone they couldn''tprehend?


    The reality was just as Lin Yuan had expected.


    Even though they sensed something was amiss, none of the thirty-five divine weapons chose to return to the heavens and the earth.


    "Rise!"


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts moved again.


    The vast Tai Chi domain quickly expanded.


    After breaking through to the fourth rank, Lin Yuan''s Tai Chi domain had once again undergone a significant improvement.


    The Tao of Tai Chi was not just about Yin and Yang; it was centered around Yin and Yang, epassing the myriad ways of the world.


    This was why Lin Yuan couldprehend the essence of other evil weapons and still gain improvements.


    "Break!"


    Among the thirty-five divine weapons, the tower-shaped divine weapon suddenly halted.


    A ze of red light erupted as if a zing sun burst out in an instant.


    The void boiled, and the hundreds of miles of airspace seemed to boil in an instant, and the misty air swirled around the entire Five MountainsBattlefield like clouds.


    The temperature within hundreds of miles soared, even for a Blood Refining Martial Saint, the air they breathed seemed to turn into hot coals, making the scorching heat unbearable!


    As the terrifying heat exploded, in an instant, the form of the furnace within several miles of Lin Yuan dispersed.


    "Water."


    Seeing this, Lin Yuan reached out again, and the water from the rivers outside the Five MountainsBattlefield was immediately drawn.


    Arge amount of river water evaporated, rapidly blocking the intense heat from the tower-shaped divine weapon.


    "Not good."


    Seeing this, the tower-shaped divine weapon''s thoughts became heavy.


    Because at this moment, the aura from countless nodes across the Five MountainsBattlefield had gathered together.


    Endless light, energy, and the power of heaven and earth intertwined and outlined a Tai Chi furnace with ck and white colors.


    It suddenly took shape with a thunderous roar.


    Without exception, all thirty-five divine weapons were enveloped inside the Tai Chi furnace.


    The Tai Chi furnace hovered under the sky, reaching a height of hundreds of miles, like a colossal object spanning across.


    There were continuous rumblings from within the furnace, indicating that the thirty-five divine weapons had not given up; they were still struggling.


    However, with the passage of time, this struggle became weaker.


    "All thirty-six divine weapons, enter my vessel."


    Lin Yuan took a step and sat on the top of the furnace.


    Then, a Spear-shaped divine weapon with imprinted sun and moon patterns flew out, actively entering the furnace.


    All thirty-six divine weapons emerged from the heavens and the earth. For the sake of easyprehension, Lin Yuan directly ced the Sun-Moon Spear into the furnace.


    "Next is suppression andprehension."


    Lin Yuan crossed his legs and calmly focused.


    "The divine weapons have been suppressed?"


    On the ground, everyone who saw this scene, whether human or evil weapon consciousness, fell into an indescribable shock.


    Thousands of years ago, there were ancient gods walking on the earth, sacrificing mountains and rivers to create a hundred weapons, awe-inspiring for countless years.


    Thousands of yearster, a young emperor sat high in the sky, cooking rivers and refining the Five Mountains, suppressing thirty-six weapons with a majestic heavenly might, and countless beings bowed down in reverence.

 Chapter 84

    Chapter 84


    The thirty-six divine weapons are not just divine weapons.


    They represent a partial essence of theplete rules.


    For others, even if they possess the strength to suppress divine weapons, it''s difficult for them to benefit from it.


    After all, the essence of a realm''s rules, even if manifested, is hard for ordinary people toprehend.


    It''s like a profound mathematical problem; even if the solution process is fully written out, others may not necessarily understand it.


    Millennia ago, that ancient godly figure divided a hundred divine weapons from the heavens and earth, and only then did he greatly benefit from pondering over them.


    But Lin Yuan is different.


    With his Unrivaled Insight, Lin Yuan is extremely adept atprehending such things that require insight.


    "Now I''ve hit the jackpot."


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness sinks into the Tai Chi Furnace.


    It can be said that Lin Yuan''s greatest gain from this journey is the divine weapons of this world.


    As for others? They pale inparison to the fundamental essence of the rules.


    "It''s a pity that these divine weapons originate from this realm and can''t be taken away."


    Lin Yuan feels some regret in his heart.


    It''s not that he''s enamored with the power of the divine weapons; the main world has many weapons with far greater power than divine weapons.


    Divine weapons contain the essence of the world''s rules. If they could be brought back to the main world and then sold or handed over to the Goddess of Wisdom, it would definitely be a lucrative endeavor.


    After all, even if other citizens can''tprehend the divine weapons as thoroughly as Lin Yuan, as long as they are slightly moved, they will surely be willing to pay a hefty price to purchase them.


    However, the essence of divine weapons manifests from the rules of this realm. Once they leave this realm, they will dissipate on their own.


    If not for this, Lin Yuan would definitely try, even at a cost.


    Although he has descended his consciousness into this realm, the Gate of Myriad Realms can bring items from traversed worlds back through the umtion of "energy."


    But how much "energy" is needed, Lin Yuan is unclear.


    "Never mind."


    "Let''s firstprehend the essence of the rules within all the divine weapons."


    Lin Yuan calms his thoughts and begins to meticulouslyprehend.


    The entire Tai Chi Furnace is an extension of his senses, and with just a thought from Lin Yuan, he can sense the position of any of the thirty-six divine weapons inside.


    On the Five Mountains Battlefield below, chaos erupts.


    "How can the Great Yan Emperor be so strong?"


    "That''s divine weapons,plete divine weapons."


    "Even divine weapons have been suppressed by the Great Yan Emperor. Should we continue fighting against the Anti-God Society?"


    On the side of the thirty-five countries, countless people gaze at the sky, looking towards the hundred-mile furnace spanning the heavens and earth.


    This scene is too unbelievable; no one can imagine how the Great Yan Emperor achieved this, and the shock in their hearts is evident.


    "In fact, surrendering to the Great Yan is not a bad thing. At least in the future, we won''t have divine weapons devouring our descendants."


    Suddenly, someone has this thought in their mind.


    In the past, with divine weapons reigning, even if they had ten or a hundred times more courage, they wouldn''t dare to think like this.


    But now, the divine weapons hanging over their heads have been suppressed. This means that even if they are exploited in the future, they don''t have to worry about being devoured.


    "It''s impossible."


    "I don''t believe it."


    "This is all an illusion, everything is an illusion."


    The emperors of the thirty-five countries are exceptionally distraught; they have pinned all their hopes on the divine weapons.


    They even initiated a decisive battle with the Anti-God Society, waiting for the divine weapons to finally take action and sweep everything away.


    And now they''re being told that the divine weapons have been swept away? Not only swept away but suppressed by the Great Yan Emperor, not one has escaped, extinguishing thest glimmer of hope for these emperors.


    "Everyone."


    At this moment, an older emperor speaks slowly.


    "Now we need to consider how to deal with the Anti-God Society and the Great Yan Dynasty."


    This emperor sighs.


    As soon as these words are spoken, all the emperors fall silent.


    "How about... we surrender?"


    The Emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty tentatively asks.


    In fact, this is also the sentiment of most of the emperors on the field.


    Although the ancestral heritage of the country is not to be easily abandoned.


    But now, their thirty-five countries, facing the Great Yan Dynasty and the Anti-God Society, have no cards left to y.


    Leaving aside everything else, just the strength disyed by the Great Yan Emperor is enough to wipe out all thirty-five countries.


    No matter how they struggle, it''s just a matter of dying time.


    Rather than that, it''s better to surrender proactively, and maybe they can get better treatment.


    "Your Majesty."


    Sikong Lun looks up at the figure under the sky and above the furnace.


    Although small, in Sikong Lun''s eyes at this moment, this figure is evenrger than the entire furnace.


    "Alright, everyone."


    "His Majesty has resolved the issue of the divine weapons for us."


    "Now it''s up to us, to sweep away the thirty-five countries and overthrow the rule of divine weapons."


    Sikong Lun looks at the army immersed in fervor and immediately orders the attack.


    With Lin Yuan suppressing the furnace from above, the thirty-five countries have no courage to resist, and the Anti-God Society and the Great Yan Dynasty quickly took over the entire battlefield.


    Except for three fleeing emperors, all the emperors of the thirty-five countries are captured.


    Sikong Lun didn''t order the execution of these emperors. When ruling the territory of the thirty-five countries in the future, these emperors will still be useful in some capacity.


    "Do you see clearly now?"


    "Is that Yan Emperor really reaching the realm of the Father God?"


    Outside the Five Mountains Battlefield, seven or eight evil weapons with converging auras gather.


    These evil weaponshave never appeared before, but this time, due to the decisive battle between the thirty-five countries and the Anti-God Society, they have quietly arrived, only to witness such a shocking scene.


    "Even if not equal to the Father God, it''s not far off" a parasol-shaped evil weapon emitted a slight spiritual fluctuation.


    Its integrity reached ny-five percent, with memories fully intact, possessing a vague impression of the ancient godly figure.


    "Father God..."


    The spiritual fluctuation of the parasol-shaped evil weapon spread out. The memories from thousands of years ago had be blurry; they only remembered being forged by the Father God.


    For evilweapons like them, the Father God was everything.


    And now, there''s a beingparable to the Father God.


    Originally, the parasol-shaped evilweapons thought that this being would be born among the thirty-six divine weapons.


    After all, those thirty-six divine weapons had consumed living beings for eight thousand years. If anyone in the world was most likely to follow in the footsteps of the Father God, it could only be them.


    But unexpectedly, the Great Yan Emperor emerged, surpassing the umted power of the thirty-six divine weapons over thousands of years and forcefully ascending to that level at a speed beyond theprehension of all living beings.


    Above the sky.


    Lin Yuan sat atop the Tai Chi Furnace, high in the heavens, as if overlooking all living beings.


    As a result, the most direct consequence was the conquest of the territories of the other thirty-five countries by the Anti-God Society and the Great Yan Dynasty, unprecedentedly smoothly.


    Under normal circumstances, topletely conquer a country, a great deal of cost is required.


    Time.


    Policies.


    Energy, and so on.


    After all, even if you conquer the capital of the other country and take over all its territory. But as long as the people of the other capital are alive, various "restore the country" organizations and forces will emerge.


    But now.


    If you are unwilling.


    If you want to restore the country.


    You can look up.


    Look at the thirty-six divine weapons suppressed to death by the Great Yan Emperor.


    In this way, even the most patriotic people have extinguished their thoughts of restoring the country.


    After all, to restore the country, there must be hope.


    No one believes that, under the gaze of the Great Yan Emperor high above, any waves can be made.


    Like this.


    With the Great Yan Emperor sitting in the sky, overlooking all living beings.


    Another twenty years passed.


    On top of the Tai Chi Furnace.


    Lin Yuan finally opened his eyes.


    "Finally... finally seeded."


    Lin Yuan''s eyes showed a bright light.


    Twenty years of meditation, with the help of the power of the Tai Chi Furnace, finally allowed him toprehend the essence of the thirty-six divine weapons.


    Throughout history.


    Perhaps only the ancient godly figure from thousands of years ago had achieved this.


    And the ancient godly figure did it in a more difficult way, and the time far surpassed Lin Yuan.


    "Foundation."


    "Heritage."


    Lin Yuan carefully felt the changes in himself.


    After integrating the essence of the thirty-six divine weapons and many evil weapons into the Tao of Tai Chi, although Lin Yuan is still at the Fourth Rank, he vaguely sees the path to the Fifth Rank.


    In the main world, the Fourth Rank is called the City-Destroyer Level, and a full-strength blow can destroy nearly half a city.


    And the Fifth Rank is the "Land-Sinking Level". At this stage, evolvers are capable of sinkingnd with a single blow, making them the strongest life forms on the surface. Another step forward is the Sixth Rank, the "Star-Falling Level."


    "No rush, no rush."


    Lin Yuan calmed himself down, temporarily not thinking about the period of the Fifth Rank.


    He hasn''t evenpleted the Fourth Rank yet. Thinking about the Fifth Rank ispletely worrying about the future.


    "Ancient godly figure."


    Lin Yuan''s face sank into a brief contemtion.


    Afterpletelyprehending the thirty-six divine weapons and refining them, Lin Yuan naturally gained more memories about these thirty-six divine weapons.


    There isn''t much memory about the Sun and Moon Spear regarding the ancient godly figure, after all, it is the eighteenth to be born.


    The tower-shaped divine weapon, which ranks first, as well as other top-ranking divine weapons, know a lot about the ancient godly figure.


    Especially that tower-shaped divine weapon, it knows thest ce where the ancient godly figure disappeared.


    "There..."


    Lin Yuan sat atop the Tai Chi Furnace, gazing towards the north.


    ording to the memories of that tower-shaped divine weapon, the ancient godly figure mentioned a few things before its disappearance.


    The gist was that the ancient godly figure wasn''t actually a native of this world.


    Instead, due to an ident, he fell from another world.


    Now that his injuries have healed, he intended to return to their native realm.


    As for how to return, before falling into this world, the ancient godly figure tore open a rift at the edge of the world with theirst bit of power.


    Following that rift and traversing the chaotic spatial flows, one can approach the ancient godly figure''s native realm.


    At that time, the ancient godly figure only needs to activate a secret technique to summon their kin from their native realm.


    "Other worlds."


    Lin Yuan squinted his eyes slightly.


    In fact, worlds canmunicate with each other.


    This, Lin Yuan had already realized during his time in the previous world, the Dragon-Tiger World.


    The True Martial Sword of the Celestial Master''s Mansion came from a higher world, as did the primordial demonic spirit.


    "If I can go to the ancient godly figure''s native realm, wouldn''t it be a two-for-one deal for a single transmigration?"


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts turned, suddenly realizing.


    Undoubtedly, the native realm where the ancient godly figure resides surpasses the current world in level.


    Otherwise, it wouldn''t have prompted the ancient godly figure to extract the essence of the world''s rules thousands of years ago.


    If Lin Yuan can go there, he will definitely gain greater benefits.


    Actually, crossing worlds is a very dangerous thing.


    The ancient godly figure is an example; when they fell into this world initially, they almost perished directly.


    But this time, Lin Yuan''s consciousness descended, and there was no risk of death at all. Even if he perished on the spot, he would just return to the main world.


    Afterprehending the thirty-six divine weapons and many evil weapons, Lin Yuan has already gained enough. Even if the final attempt fails, there won''t be much loss.


    "No rush for now."


    "Let''s wait until thest twenty years."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    There are still thirty years left until the limit of one hundred and sixty years for Lin Yuan''s stay.


    During the remaining time, Lin Yuan ns to deal with the loose ends.


    "As for you guys?"


    Lin Yuan lowered his head, looking at the furnace beneath his feet.


    After twenty years of repeated refining, the consciousness of the thirty-six divine weapons has long been extinguished by Lin Yuan.


    To give birth to new consciousness again, it''s unknown how many hundreds or thousands of years it will take.


    "Shatter."


    Lin Yuan''s mind flickered slightly.


    On the surface of the thirty-six divine weapons, cracks began to appear.


    The cracks continued to spread, proliferate, and split.


    Eventually, all the divine weapons turned into a pile of fragments.


    Divine weapons are the external manifestation of the essence of the rules of heaven and earth.


    They cannot be destroyed, but Lin Yuan canpletely shatter them.


    In this way, even if consciousness were to be born again in the future, their threat would be far less than that of intact divine weapons.


    Five Mountains Battlefield.


    Since twenty years ago, when the Emperor of Great Yan forcefully suppressed many divine weapons, this ce has be a holynd under the heavens.


    Especially after the Great Yan Dynasty unified the Central ins of the thirty-six countries, establishing an unprecedented great unified nation.


    Countless peoplee here every day, attracted by its fame.


    After all, elsewhere is at most just ruins.


    But in the Five Mountains Battlefield, you can truly see the legendary Emperor of Great Yan.


    As long as that towering ck and white furnace that spans a hundred miles doesn''t disappear, the Emperor of Great Yan will sit at the top.


    And on this day.


    Under the gaze of countless people.


    That ck and white furnace slowly dissipated.

    Chapter 85


    Five Mountains Battlefield.


    The dispersal of the hundred-mile furnace caused a huge stir, after all, the furnace had been looming under the sky for twenty years.


    It had long be the pir of faith for all the people of the human race.


    Because this was the first time in history that the human race had defeated the divine weapons, evidence of oveing the dominion that had existed for ten thousand years.


    In the capital of Great Yan.


    After Sikong Lun led the Anti-God Society to defeat thirty-five countries, he quickly returned to the Great Yan Dynasty and took up the position of prime minister.


    Sikong Lun was well aware that Lin Yuan was the emperor of Great Yan Dynasty. After defeating the other thirty-five countries, he immediately began to assist the Great Yan Dynasty without hesitation.


    For twenty years.


    Under the rule of the Great Yan Dynasty, apart from the deterrence of Lin Yuan, Sikong Lun''s skillful tactics also yed a significant role.


    On this day.


    After reading the information in his hand, Sikong Lun suddenly stood up.


    "The furnace disappeared?"


    Sikong Lun looked at the intelligence report again.


    "And His Majesty is missing too?"


    A trace of worry appeared on Sikong Lun''s face.


    "Xu Chong."


    Sikong Lun spoke up.


    Xu Chong immediately walked in from outside.


    "What''s going on?"


    Xu Chong asked with confusion.


    "I want you to go to the Five Mountains Battlefield to find out..."


    Sikong Lun hadn''t finished speaking yet.


    A gentle voice sounded beside him.


    "Are you looking for me?"


    Lin Yuan appeared in the room with a smiling face.


    "Your Majesty."


    Upon hearing the familiar voice, Sikong Lun''s eyes immediately became moist.


    "Emperor Yan."


    Xu Chong saw Lin Yuan and shrank his head, afraid to speak.


    Twenty years ago, on the Five MountainsBattlefield, his exmation of ''Emperor Yan'' spread throughout the battlefield, and countless people heard it.


    Immediately after, Lin Yuan appeared and responded with ''Why are you shouting!'', sounding a little displeased.


    Therefore, for the past twenty years, Xu Chong had been suffering quite a bit.


    Actually, Xu Chong felt quite wronged.


    Clearly, it was Lin Yuan himself who said back then that when faced with an unstoppable situation, he could be called by this name.


    At that time, the situation was indeed unstoppable, with the thirty-five divine weapons towering high in the sky about to devour everything.


    "Your Majesty, I heard that the furnace disappeared?"


    After a moment, Sikong Lun cautiously asked.


    "How is Zheng-er doing now?"


    Lin Yuan did not directly answer, but asked in return.


    Zheng-er, also known as Liu Zheng, was born more than thirty years ago as the offspring of Lin Yuan and a ''Blood Refinement'' female martial saint, under the soft persuasion of Queen Mother Wang Shangfeng.


    As for why it had to be a woman at the level of a martial saint, it was naturally because Lin Yuan''s physique was too powerful at the time.


    Ordinary women, let alone giving birth to a child for Lin Yuan, couldn''t even withstand Lin Yuan''s essence.


    Even a female martial saint, if it weren''t for Lin Yuan greatly weakening his own essence, wouldn''t be able to withstand it.


    Finally, the female martial saint gave birth to a son for Lin Yuan, who was trained as the crown prince by the Great Yan Dynasty from birth.


    "Crown Prince Zhengis intelligent and capable, no worse than..."


    Sikong Lun originally wanted to say ''no worse than Your Majesty'', but before he could say it, he felt it was too boastful.


    What a joke?


    Who is Lin Yuan?


    For these years, he had been hailed as the first saint sovereign below ten thousand ages in the Central ins.


    Even if Crown Prince Zheng were extremely clever, he couldn''t touch Lin Yuan''s level.


    "Then it''s good."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    He didn''t have much expectation for Liu Zheng, just to preserve the foundation of the Great Yan Dynasty.


    "Your Majesty, about those divine weapons."


    Sikong Lun asked cautiously again.


    There was no way.


    This question was too important.


    "I have already shattered all the divine weapons."


    Lin Yuan said casually.


    "Shattered?"


    Sikong Lun was slightly stunned.


    "Can they bepletely destroyed?"


    Sikong Lun couldn''t help asking.


    "Divine weapons are born from heaven and earth and cannot be destroyed."


    Lin Yuan said directly.


    This was something that even the ancient god being from ten thousand years ago couldn''t do, and neither could Lin Yuan.


    "You''re worried that after I''m gone, hundreds or thousands of yearster, those fragments of divine weapons will once again gain consciousness and regain control over the world?"


    Lin Yuan understood Sikong Lun''s concern.


    Even though they were far inferior to intact divine weapons,


    Their actual strength far exceeded that of Blood Refinement Martial Saints.


    At that time, without Lin Yuan, when the fragments of divine weapons caused chaos, there would be no one in the world who could stop them.


    "Your Majesty is right."


    Sikong Lun showed a bitter smile.


    "It''s alright."


    Lin Yuan raised his right hand and gently pointed at the brows of Sikong Lun and Xu Chong.


    Instantly, arge amount of information entered their minds.


    This was a set of cultivation systems that Lin Yuan had perfected over the past few decades ording to the existing cultivation system of this world, abandoning the w of only refining the physical body and also focusing on the spiritual soul.


    This cultivation system was also influenced by Lin Yuan, with Martial Gods above Martial Saints, and Celestials above Martial Gods.


    Normally, reaching the realm of Martial Gods would be enough to rival or even surpass those fragments of divine weapons.


    Passing down this cultivation system gave hope to future generations of the human race.


    With such a perfect cultivation system, even surpassing Martial Saints wouldn''t be too difficult.


    Every few decades, there would always be a few geniuses who cultivated to the realm of Martial Gods.


    "Is this...?"


    Sikong Lun absorbed the information in his mind rapidly, and his expression became increasingly shocked.


    He immediately realized the terror of the cultivation system Lin Yuan had passed on to him.


    Although it was generally simr to the original cultivation systems, Lin Yuan had added how to condense the ''spiritual soul'' at each stage, causing the transformation of both the physical and spiritual bodies.


    As a result, Blood Refinement Martial Saints were no longer the end point, but rather there were Martial Gods and Celestials.


    ording to the descriptions of the realms, the realm of Martial Gods was enough to counter those evil weapons.


    This was simply unprecedented!


    "This kind of cultivation system..."


    Xu Chong swallowed nervously. He was a Warrior Commander, or more urately, a Divine Weapon Commander, because the Sky-Cleaving Axe was already an intact divine weapon.


    However, there were only a fewmanders like him in the world, and they relied on the divine weapons inside their bodies. Without the divine weapons, they were nothing.


    How could theypare to the cultivation system that Lin Yuan had passed on to him, which concentrated power within himself and, when cultivated to the end, was no worse than a Divine Weapon Commander and even had the effect of prolonging life?


    "I, Sikong Lun, for the sake of the people of the world, thank His Majesty for his great kindness."


    Sikong Lun knelt down on the ground with a heartfelt expression.


    If suppressing all the divine weapons on the Five Mountains Battlefield twenty years ago was Lin Yuan''s contemporary achievement, then passing on this cultivation system would be a timeless achievement.


    From today onwards, all cultivators would remember Lin Yuan''s kindness and could never forget it for their entire lives.


    "Alright."


    "Get up."


    Lin Yuan waved his hand.


    He didn''t care at all.


    This cultivation system was nothing to him. Passing it down was just to avoid seeing the future of the human race once again be food for the divine weapons.


    After all, Lin Yuan was now also part of the human race, and the Great Yan Dynasty was also the dynasty of the human race.


    Whether it was for personal or rational reasons, Lin Yuan would do so.


    "There''s one more thing this time."


    Lin Yuan seemed to remember something and looked at Xu Chong.


    "Huh?"


    Xu Chong blinked, not knowing what had happened.


    "Come out."


    As soon as Lin Yuan spoke, a ck axe flew out from Xu Chong''s body.


    It was the Sky-Cleaving Axe.


    "Before I came here, I had already shattered all the divine weapons and evil weapons once, erasing their consciousness. You are no exception."


    Lin Yuan grasped the Sky-Cleaving Axe.


    The invincible divine weapon, in Lin Yuan''s hands, seemed as fragile as cotton.


    With just a light press, it turned into dozens of fragments, and all the consciousness inside was erased.


    Although the Sky-Cleaving Axe had been refined by Lin Yuan and was absolutely loyal, Lin Yuan was not sure if there would be any changes after he left this world.


    For safety''s sake, no intact divine weapons could be left.


    "Alright."


    Lin Yuan nced at the somewhat despondent Xu Chong.


    "With your talent, if you cultivate the cultivation system I taught you, there is a good chance you will step into the realm of Martial Gods."


    Lin Yuan added.


    He had modified the cultivation system to mainly include the condensation of the ''spiritual soul''.


    And Xu Chong originally had a strong spiritual soul, otherwise, he wouldn''t have been able to be themander of the Sky-Cleaving Axe.


    "It''s time to leave."


    Lin Yuan nced at Sikong Lun and Xu Chong again.


    Then, his figure disappeared silently in ce.


    "Your Majesty."


    Sikong Lun felt as if his heart had fallen into an abyss, as if he had forever lost something.


    "No."


    "We must immediately record that cultivation system."


    Sikong Lun forced himself to focus and had someone bring paper and pen.


    Then, he quickly recorded the information from his mind.


    "Prime Minister Sikong, you''re getting old. Shall I write it instead?"


    Xu Chong scratched his head, feeling much better after Lin Yuan''s reminder.


    "No."


    "This cultivation system is too important. I must be the one to write it."


    Sikong Lun''s eyes were fervent as he swiftly wielded the brush, continuously recording.


    Two hourster.


    Looking at theplete cultivation system before him, Sikong Lun was excited.


    With this cultivation system, the human race wouldpletely break free from the situation of being food for divine weapons for thousands of years.


    Even if aplete divine weapon appeared in the future, the human race would have the possibility to resist, no longer being like in the past, begging for mercy.


    All the humiliation and resentment would be obliterated under this cultivation system. From now on, the people of thisnd would stand uppletely.


    "Your Majesty."


    Sikong Lun thought of Lin Yuan again, his eyes turning red as he murmured to himself.


    In a hidden chamber for a thousand years, amp lit the room.


    Outside the thirty-six countries of the Central ins, in the far north.


    This ce was thousands of miles of icy cold. Even Blood Refinement Martial Saints could not endure for long in such low temperatures.


    The extremely low temperature made this area a forbidden zone for life.


    For thousands of years, no creature had ever set foot here.


    However, on this day.


    A figure slowly entered this ce.


    The extreme cold temperature had no effect on the figure.


    Around the figure, within dozens of meters, it was unexpectedly warm and pleasant.


    "This is it."


    Lin Yuan stopped and looked around.


    This was the ce where the ancient gods had left theirst footsteps ording to the memories of divine weapons.


    It was also where the ancient gods returned to their homnd.


    "A spatial rift?"


    Lin Yuan continued forward and vaguely sensed a spatial tearing force.


    Before long.


    Lin Yuan saw the source of the force.


    It was an irregr form, as if a part of a painting had been torn off.


    Faint gray gas floated inside.


    "Is this where the ancient gods left from?"


    Lin Yuan was silent for a moment.


    Even just quietly looking at it, Lin Yuan felt an extremely dangerous feeling.


    It could be foreseen that once he truly stepped in, there would be no hope of survival.


    Lin Yuan stayed for a while and then decisively turned back.


    Although he didn''t know how the ancient gods entered, he was sure he couldn''t do it.


    If there was a chance of survival for himself, Lin Yuan didn''t mind taking the next twenty years as a gamble.


    But now, seeing that there was not even a glimmer of hope, Lin Yuan naturally knew how to choose.


    With twenty years of time, with Unrivaled Insight, even if he just wandered around in this world, he could still achieve considerable improvement.


    There was no reason to waste it on unknown death.


    Time passed slowly.


    In the blink of an eye, twenty years had passed.


    During these twenty years, Lin Yuan traveled all over the Central ins.


    He witnessed the gradual prosperity of the Great Yan Dynasty and the widespread dissemination of the cultivation system he had passed on.


    [Name: Liu Yuan (Lin Yuan)]


    [Identity: Keeper of the Gate to the Myriad Realms]


    [Bound Talent: Unrivaled Insight]


    [Current Status: Consciousness Descended]


    [Remaining Residency Time: One hour]


    As the end of his residency approached.


    Lin Yuan once again came to the far north, to the ce of the spatial rift.


    "Since I''m going back soon."


    "Let''s go in and take a look first."


    Lin Yuan''s mind moved slightly, and the Tai Chi field shrank, sticking to his body by an inch.


    This level of Tai Chi stance was Lin Yuan''s strongest defensive posture.


    "Let''s go."


    Lin Yuan took a step forward and entered the spatial rift.


    ...

 Chapter 86

    Chapter 86


    Amidst a daze, Lin Yuan opened his eyes.


    "I''m dead already?"


    The scene of entering the space fissure floated in Lin Yuan''s mind.


    It was an endless chaotic flow of space.


    No colors, no directions.


    Before Lin Yuan could react, his own self began to copse.


    The Tai Chi Field, flesh, spirit, soul, and everything else.


    All copsed.


    "Fortunately, I didn''t go in twenty years ago, or I would have really wasted this time."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    As soon as he saw the space fissure, Lin Yuan felt an extreme danger.


    So he promptly left.


    Using these twenty years to continue traveling the world.


    Enlightening the Tao and incidentally solving some troubles for the Great Yan Dynasty,


    Training several martial gods,pletely solidifying the position of the Liu family''s regime.


    "How did the ancient god leave thousands of years ago?"


    Lin Yuan was slightly puzzled, ording to his spection, the ancient god was at most at the peak of the fourth rank.


    Absolutely impossible to exceed the fifth rank.


    And facing that level of spatial turbulence, even a fifth-rank wouldn''t survive long.


    "Doesn''t matter."


    Lin Yuan didn''t bother thinking much.


    He began to take stock of this journey.


    Undoubtedly, the greatest gain of this journey for Lin Yuan, was the establishment of the third and fourth ranks of the Martial Way Evolution System.


    Although, before the journey, Lin Yuan had already reached the third rank.


    But that was just entering the third rank, the mid-stage,te-stage, and peak of the third rank, were all perfected in the world of divine weapons.


    Finally, he even stepped into the fourth rank at once.


    It should be noted that Lin Yuan''s chosen path of cultivation is the most difficult rule-based path.


    If it was just a normal breakthrough to the fourth rank, it wouldn''t have taken Lin Yuan so long.


    "Rule essence."


    Lin Yuan walked out of the nutrient warehouse and faintly felt the vast and endless rules of the universe from all directions, the vastness of the cosmic sky.


    Compared to the rules of the world of divine weapons, the rules of the main world are countless times stronger.


    Not only vast but also more perfect.


    In the main world, it''s almost impossible to forcibly extract the rule essence like the ancient god did.


    This isn''t a matter of strength, but anyone who dares to do so will inevitably be crushed by the immense power of the main world.


    "It''s been over two days, not bad."


    Lin Yuan nced at the time and made a mental note.


    In the world of divine weapons, one hundred and sixty years have passed, but in the main world, it''s only been over fifty hours.


    "My current realm is probably equivalent to the ninth stage of the fourth rank?"


    Lin Yuan examined himself. After suppressing the Sun-Moon Spear, he had only spent a little over ten years to reach the fourth rank.


    The following eight or nine years were all spentying nodes in the Five Mountains Battlefield, in order to form the Tai Chi Cauldron to suppress the thirty-five divine weapons.


    The subsequent twenty years of wandering the world, were entirely dedicated to enlightening the Tao and cultivating.


    From the first stage to the ninth stage of the fourth rank, were basicallypleted during these twenty years.


    Of course, realm is one thing, Lin Yuan''s current strength still remains at the initial stage of the third rank.


    "Choosing the cosmic spiritual objects carefully, and I''ll be able to recover soon."


    Lin Yuan opened the shop and began to make selections.


    For evolvers, the most important thing is their own realm.


    As for energy intensity? Without mastery of the realm, it''s meaningless.


    "Just these two."


    Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and confirmed his choice of spiritual objects.


    Currently, Lin Yuan''s cultivation system still revolves around the Yin and Yang of the Tai Chi Dao.


    So the chosen cosmic spiritual objects naturally include Yin and Yang attribute spiritual objects.


    "1.2 billion."


    Lin Yuan nced at the price.


    This time, Lin Yuan''s transmigration surpassed the previous two times by far.


    The difference between the initial stage of the third rank and the ninth stage of the fourth rank is a whopping twenty-one stages.


    Therefore, the cosmic spiritual objects chosen this time naturally have a high level of quality.


    In fact, without the status of a fourth-level citizen, even if Lin Yuan is wealthy, he wouldn''t even be able to see cosmic spiritual objects of such quality.


    "I''m still short on money."


    Lin Yuan sighed.


    Normally, for an evolver at the initial stage of the third rank to reach the ninth stage of the fourth rank, even if everything goes smoothly without encountering any bottlenecks, it would take hundreds or even thousands of years.


    And this is under the premise of having aplete evolution path guide.


    For a third-rank evolver, dispersing the cultivation expenditure of 1.2 billion over several hundred years is not a problem at all.


    It''s just that freaks like Lin Yuan, who improve too quickly in a short period, end up not being able to keep up with their wealth. (the problem of most mcs)


    "A fourth-level citizen has a 1 billion loan limit, plus the prize money from my arena matches."


    Lin Yuan confirmed his identity information and purchased those two cosmic spiritual objects.


    In this arena match, the teampetition provided Lin Yuan with nearly 1 billion in prize money.


    As for the individualpetition, since it hasn''t ended yet, all the prize money will be settled after it''s over.


    "Let''s upload the ''Third Rank Section'' of the Martial Way Evolution Path."


    Lin Yuan made a decision after seeing his bank bnce decrease.


    Uploading the subsequent parts of the Martial Way Evolution Path has only benefits and no drawbacks for Lin Yuan.


    Firstly, it allows him to earn arge number of merit points.


    And in the Cosmic Human Alliance, merit points are extremely important.


    Ordinary citizens earn merit points mainly in three ways.


    One is to join the military and fight against alien races at the border.


    Each alien killed contributes to the entire human civilization, so corresponding merit points can be obtained.


    Second is to serve the Cosmic Human Civilization, and ording to the assessment of the Three Goddesses, one can also earn corresponding merit points.


    For example, the governor of Cann Star, if the citizens of Cann Star are highly satisfied during his term of office, and if he makes real contributions to the, he can earn corresponding merit point rewards.


    The third is research and invention, which includes various new discoveries, evolution paths, and other types of technology.


    In addition to the above three categories, there are other ways to earn merit points.


    For example, stumbling upon traces of aliens, or their conspiracies, and then reporting it to the Goddess of Wisdom to prevent losses to human civilization.


    Afterward, the Goddess of Wisdom will fairly judge the importance of this information and reward merit points ordingly.


    In Lin Yuan''s mind, uploading the evolution path is undoubtedly the most cost-effective way to earn merit points.


    As for killing aliens? The border battlefield is full of dangers, and Lin Yuan doesn''t need to take such risks.


    And serving the Cosmic Human Alliance? Taking on half-official roles is too troublesome, and there''s also the pressure of ''achievements''.


    Moreover...


    Improving the Martial Way Evolution Path has another benefit.


    That is, improving one''s ranking on the Evolution Path Leaderboard.


    It should be noted that just because Lin Yuan uploads the evolution path to the Goddess of Wisdom, it doesn''t mean the evolution path is no longer his own, Lin Yuan is still the founder of the evolution path.


    For every citizen within the Cosmic Human Alliance who purchases the Martial Way Evolution Path for cultivation, Lin Yuan can receive thirty percent of the ie.


    And the higher the potential of the Martial Way Evolution Path, the higher the rank on the Evolution Path Leaderboard, the greater the promotion it receives.


    Finally, the more wealth Lin Yuan earns.


    The key is that this ie is continuous.


    This is just the direct impact.


    As the founder of a powerful evolution path, there are many indirect and hidden effects.


    "Third Rank Section"


    Lin Yuan, with his Unrivaled Insight, began to make some improvements to the third rank section of the Martial Way Evolution Path.


    Making it suitable for citizens of the main world to cultivate.


    Two dayster.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes.


    "Goddess of Wisdom."


    Lin Yuan directly connected to the Goddess of Wisdom.


    "Respected fourth-level citizen Lin Yuan, the Goddess of Wisdom is pleased to serve you."


    After advancing to a fourth-level citizen, the Goddess of Wisdom''s attitude towards Lin Yuan became even more gentle.


    "I want to upload the third rank section of the Martial Way Evolution Path."


    Lin Yuan said.


    As for why there''s no fourth rank section. Lin Yuan himself is still at the ninth stage of the fourth rank, And hasn''tpletely finished this level yet, so there''s no need to upload it prematurely.


    Besides, the third rank section is already enough.


    The rule-based path chosen by Lin Yuan is reflected in the third rank section.


    Buzz.


    With Lin Yuan quickly uploading the content of the ''Third Rank Section'', in a mysterious space thousands of light-years away from Cann Star.


    Large light screens flickered rapidly, and massiveputing power evaluated and deduced the value of the Martial Way Evolution Path''s ''Third Rank Section.''


    The third rank section uploaded by Lin Yuan is divided into the ''War God Section'' and the ''Celestial Realm Section.''


    "Detected that the ''War God Section'' contains a certain advanced way of forging the body. Detected that the ''Celestial Realm Section'' involves the power of the source rules, starting to re-evaluate the potential of the Martial Way Evolution Path."


    "Assessmentpleted. The current Martial Way Evolution Path has a hundred percent chance of advancing to the fifth-level evolution path, and a sixty percent chance of advancing to the sixth-level evolution path."


    "The possibility of the Martial Way Evolution Path advancing to the sixth-level evolution path exceeds fifty percent, triggering the Constitutional Secrecy Agreement."


    "Relevant ns generated. From now on, all promotions of human citizens with the ID number 123****** will be handled by the Three Goddesses without the need for authorization from others."


    "Start judging the value of the third rank section. Forty thousand merit points. Shall we seek authorization from the highest citizen nearby? Not necessary."


    Water Moon District.


    Residential building number thirty-two.


    Lin Yuan is adapting to his current ''weak'' physical body.


    The solemn and cold voice of the Goddess of Wisdom sounded.


    "Respected Fourth-tier Citizen Lin Yuan"


    "So fast?" Lin Yuan''s expression showed some surprise.


    Compared to the previous two times he uploaded to the Evolution Pathway, the response speed from the Goddess of Wisdom was noticeably faster this time.


    "After the final assessment, the Third-rank article you uploaded is worth forty thousand merit points," the Goddess of Wisdom replied.


    "Good," Lin Yuan nodded.


    Forty thousand merit points weren''t the value of the entire Martial Path Evolution, but rather the value of the Third-rank article.


    "Unfortunately, there''s still a shortfall of merit points to advance to Fifth-tier Citizen" Lin Yuan scanned his merit point bnce.


    To advance from Fourth-tier Citizen to Fifth-tier Citizen, one needed fifty thousand merit points.


    When Lin Yuan advanced to Fourth-tier Citizenst time, it consumed ten thousand merit points, leaving him with a bnce of nine thousand merit points. Now, with the additional forty thousand merit points he just acquired, he had a total of forty-nine thousand merit points.


    "Let''s see the updated information on the Martial Path Evolution Pathway now" Lin Yuan thought, essing his evolution system interface.


    "The ultimate potential remains at the Sixth-rank" Lin Yuan rubbed his chin.


    The Seventh-rank Evolution Pathway seemed much more challenging than he had imagined. Even many insights he had gained into the essence of various rules in the Divine World couldn''t offer even a slight possibility of the Martial Path Evolution Pathway advancing to the Seventh-rank.


    "Perhaps... there are other limiting conditions for the Seventh-rank Evolution Pathway?" Lin Yuan pondered for a moment before continuing to look further.


    "There''s a ten percent chance of advancing to the Fifth-rank Evolutionary System and a sixty percent chance of advancing to the Sixth-rank Evolution Pathway," a smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    If his memory served him right, before uploading the Third-rank article, the chance of the Martial Path Evolution Pathway advancing to the Sixth-rank Evolution Pathway was only ten percent. Now, it had skyrocketed to sixty percent, evidently due to the essence of the rules.


    "Oh, right."


    "Now, where does the Martial Path Evolution Pathway rank on the Cann Evolution List?" Lin Yuan, with a hint of curiosity, looked towards thetest ranking of the Martial Path Evolution Pathway.


    For others to know the real-time ranking of a certain evolutionary path, they had to wait for the Cann Evolution List to update. But as the founder of the Martial Path Evolution Pathway, Lin Yuan could naturally ess any real-time information about it.


    [Martial Path Evolution Pathway: Cann Evolution List: First]


    Virtual world.


    Personal room.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged. The environment simted in his personal room at this time was a vast desert.


    The scorching air spread like wildfire.


    "Hmm?" Lin Yuan opened his eyes.


    "President Liao is looking for me?" Lin Yuan''s thoughts stirred.


    The barren desert in front of him began to change at his will.


    Soon, it transformed into a mansion, with small bridges and flowing water, reminiscent of a Jiangnan-style residence.


    In the next moment.


    President Liao''s figure appeared on the opposite chair.


    "Mr. Lin Yuan" President Liao addressed Lin Yuan with considerable respect.


    After all, in the arena matches, Lin Yuan''s demonstrated strength repeatedly shattered President Liao''s preconceptions.


    And now, he had even advanced to the top ten in the individual matches.


    It should be noted that the arena matches on Cann Star were open to all evolvers from Cann Star.


    For Lin Yuan to be able to break into the top ten in such apetitive arena, how could he not be considered an outstanding talent?


    Even without thinking too much, President Liao knew that after this arena match, Lin Yuan would soar to heights he could hardly reach.


    "There''s a little over a week left before the final top tenpetition," President Liao stated his purpose foring.


    Although from Lin Yuan''s previous records, it was easy to see that his chances against the other monsters in the top ten weren''t very high.


    Many spected that Lin Yuan might be the weakest among the top ten.


    But there was still a basic level of concern.


    Even if he might not win, Lin Yuan had secured a ce in the top ten, which was a pride for Dongning City for thousands of years.


    "Mr. Lin Yuan, this is what I''ve gatheredvideos of the battles of those top ten evolvers, along with analyses of higher-level evolvers. I believe that after watching them, you''ll gain a deeper understanding," President Liao immediately opened a video and started ying it.


    Battle videos weren''t rare, but what was significant was the analysis of other evolvers apanying them.


    It should be noted that the same battle might be perceived differently by evolvers of different levels.


    Higher-level evolvers could easily identify the weaknesses and ws of the opponents.


    If Lin Yuan could absorb the judgments in these analyses, perhaps he could gain an advantage in the uing top tenpetition.


    He didn''t dare to think about reaching the top five or even the top three, but getting the seventh or eighth ce was still very hopeful.


    After all, being able to enter the global top ten meant that the difference in strength between each other wasn''t significant. Maybe just a little more understanding could y a crucial role.


    "Mr. Lin, please have a look" President Liao yed the video.


    "So strong" President Liao watched the video with Lin Yuan.


    Even though he had watched it many times, President Liao was still amazed.


    However, Lin Yuan, who was watching the video beside him, seemed indifferent.


    The pressure he felt before seemed insignificant now.


    Those evolvers standing within the top ten globally.


    Now, for Lin Yuan, they were too weak.


    ...

 Chapter 87

    Chapter 87


    Currently among the top ten evolvers globally, the most likely to win should be the evolver named ''Fang Qing''.


    Fang Qing''s origins are unknown.


    It is suspected that he had a great opportunity and gained the inheritance of a high-ranking evolver, practicing the path of ''Ancient Gods'' evolution.


    And the path of ''Ancient Gods'' evolution is a ss of immensely powerful evolutionary paths collectively referred to.


    Each ''Ancient Gods'' evolutionary path corresponds to a certain ''Ancient God'' deep in the starry sky.


    From the standpoint of rank, the ''Ancient Gods'' evolutionary path surpasses the sixth rank.


    Before Lin Yuan went through the shuttle, the one he feared the most was this ''Fang Qing''.


    With the Tai Chi field, if he were to go all out, Lin Yuan is confident he couldpete with the other eight evolvers.


    But only this ''Fang Qing'', Lin Yuan is not very confident.


    But that was before the shuttle.


    Afterpleting the third shuttle, Lin Yuan hadpletely transformed from the inside out.


    His strength has reached the level of four ranks and nine stages.


    In this situation, even though the current martial arts evolutionary path still has a potential upper limit that is not as good as the ''Ancient Gods'' evolutionary path.


    But with such a huge difference in realms, the two arepletely different levels.


    Now Lin Yuan, watching the battle videos of the other nine evolvers, ispletely uninterested.


    Let alone feeling pressure.


    "Then I''ll leave first."


    Seeing Lin Yuan''sck of interest, President Liao immediately proposed to take his leave.


    "It seems Mr. Lin Yuan doesn''t have much confidence in the uing top tenpetition either."


    President Liao returned to his personal room, silently pondering in his heart.


    Actually, this is normal. Just look at what the other nine evolvers are likethe ''Thunder God'' who can transform into thunder, the lucky one who awakens the sixth-rank ''Falling Star'' bloodline, and that Fang Qing who practices the ''Ancient Gods'' evolutionary path.


    This lineup, even ced in the previous arena matches, would be considered exaggerated.


    In the virtual world of Cann Star, in the central square area.


    Due to the poprity of the arena matches, this area has be much quieter, with most citizens gathering over at the arena area.


    This dawn, the Cann Evolutionary Rankings began to update their rankings.


    At first, not many people paid attention to it.


    But soon, someone noticed something was wrong.


    "Oh my god, am I seeing things? Howe the ''Purple Thunder'' evolutionary path, which was ranked first, has dropped to second ce?"


    "I think my eyes are ying tricks on me too."


    "Oh my god, has the martial arts evolutionary path reached the top?"


    In an instant, the central square area exploded.


    Countless people stared in shock at the words ''Martial Arts'' appearing at the top of the evolutionary rankings.


    For the martial arts evolutionary path, everyone is familiar with it, and you could even say very familiar.


    From initially breaking into the top one hundred, to the top ten, it only took one or two years.


    Originally, everyone thought the martial arts evolutionary path would quiet down for a while. After all, which of the top ten evolutionary paths on the evolutionary rankings hasn''t undergone hundreds of thousands of years of trials?


    Especially the ''Purple Thunder'' evolutionary path, which has been at the top for five hundred thousand years.


    One of the favorites for the current arena champion, the ''Thunder God'', follows the ''Purple Thunder'' evolutionary path.


    But now, the myth of the ''Purple Thunder'' evolutionary path has been shattered.


    "What is the origin of the martial arts evolutionary path? Who is the big shot behind the development of this evolutionary path?"


    "I specte that this evolutionary path was deliberately ced on our Cann Star by big shots from other higher-levels."


    "I agree. The rise of the martial arts evolutionary path is too sudden. I have elders working in the Evolutionary Association of the Central Continent and have never seen an evolutionary path simr to the martial arts evolutionary path."


    People discussed and spected, expressing their own guesses.


    Finally, the conclusion was drawn that the martial arts evolutionary path probably came from big shots from other higher-levels and was intentionally ced on Cann Star.


    After all, for an evolutionary path, from its inception to its perfection, it undoubtedly requires not only the founder but also arge number of practitioners involved in it.


    Just like the ''Purple Thunder'' evolutionary path, for tens of thousands of years, countless evolvers have invested in it to perfect this evolutionary path.


    But what about the martial arts evolutionary path? It''spletely a sudden emergence, without any warning.


    Compared to most bystanders, those evolvers who were once squeezed down by the martial arts evolutionary path were much morefortable now.


    When the martial arts evolutionary path first appeared.


    It surged into the top ny-three of the evolutionary rankings.


    As a result, the original ny-third, ny-fourth, ny-fifth, and other evolutionary paths naturally moved back one ce.


    Later, the martial arts evolutionary path rose to seventy-eighth ce, and the original seventy-eighth, seventy-ninth, eightieth ces also moved back one ce.


    Later on, as the martial arts evolutionary path entered the top ten, more and more evolutionary paths behind it were pushed back.


    This also sparked discontent among many practitioners of these evolutionary paths.


    However, now.


    When these evolvers saw the martial arts evolutionary path at the top, for some reason, they felt a bit happy.


    In short, perhaps. Everyone moved back, which means nobody did.


    In the Thunderstorm Star Domain.


    Inside the virtual world.


    Luo Lanhe sat cross-legged.


    In his mind, Lin Yuan''s teachings floated.


    "The Tao of Tai Chi, with Yin and Yang as the foundation, is boundless."


    The more Luo Lanhe thought about it, the more blurred it became, but only by constantly sensing the trace of Tai Chi power left by Lin Yuan in his body could he gain some insight.


    Just then.


    A deep voice echoed.


    "Lon He."


    "Father." Lon He was startled, quickly rising with a hint of respect.


    Compared to his gentle mother, Lon He was more fearful of his father.


    His father was not only the patriarch of the Lon family but also a prominent figure in the Thunderstorm Star Domain''s governance.


    With just a word, he could decide the fate of hundreds or even thousands of life-bearings.


    "The probability of your current evolutionary path advancing to the sixth rank is too low. Change to another one."


    The deep voice spoke.


    "Huh?"


    "Change it?"


    Lon He felt reluctant. "But father, I really like martial arts, and the founder teacher often guides me."


    Lon He plucked up the courage to argue.


    "I said the probability of advancing to the sixth rank is too low, only ten percent. Switch to a higher one."


    Lon Yu grew impatient.


    Beforeing here, Lon Yu naturally browsed through the martial arts evolutionary path.


    With his insight, he naturally saw the pros and cons of the martial arts evolutionary path. It was indeed good to be able to amodate both Yin and Yang extreme energies.


    But that''s about it.


    Moreover, the martial arts evolutionary path currently only had the first and second levels. Although it had the potential to reach the sixth rank, there was only a ten percent chance.


    In Lon Yu''s view, this was far from enough.


    "Fine."


    "But the martial arts evolutionary path just updated the third level this morning, and I haven''t finished reading it yet."


    Lon He felt aggrieved, but he couldn''t defy his father''s will.


    "The third level?"


    Lon Yu was slightly surprised.


    He directly essed the information on the martial arts evolutionary path and indeed saw the newly released third level.


    Lon Yu chose to purchase it directly and quickly skimmed through the content of the third level.


    "This?"


    "The third level involves the power of the original rules?"


    "There''s a sixty percent chance of advancing to the sixth rank?"


    Lon Yu''s expression became slightly solemn.


    He nced again at the release times of the first, second, and third levels of the martial arts evolutionary path.


    On average, less than a year separated each level.


    "It''s not impossible to cultivate."


    After scanning the dejected Lon He, Lon Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Since you like this evolutionary path so much, then continue."


    "Really?"


    Lon He widened his eyes.


    It was the first time he had seen his father change his mind voluntarily.


    While the outside world was buzzing about the martial arts evolutionary path topping the evolutionary rankings, Lin Yuan received the two cosmic spiritual items he had purchased.


    The Yin and Yang cosmic spiritual items, worth 1.2 billion in total.


    "So these are ''Vermilion Fruit'' and ''Cold Jade''?"


    Lin Yuan opened the alloy box, feeling slightly excited.


    The alloy box wasrge, divided into twoyers.


    The upperyer contained a crimson fruit.


    The fruit was only the size of a baby''s fist, but it emitted astonishing heat, like a miniature fireball.


    Lin Yuan knew that this ''Vermilion Fruit'' was a fruit produced by certain special nts deep in the universe.


    ording to age, it was divided into hundred-year Vermilion Fruit, thousand-year Vermilion Fruit, ten thousand-year Vermilion Fruit, and hundred thousand-year Vermilion Fruit.


    The Vermilion Fruit he purchased was a hundred-year Vermilion Fruit, worth 700 millions, and also came with fourth-grade citizen privileges.


    Carefully picking up the Vermilion Fruit and cing it aside, Lin Yuan looked at the other item inside the alloy box.


    Cold Jade.


    Although not as expensive as Vermilion Fruit, it was also a cosmic spiritual item worth 500 millions.


    After double-checking the two cosmic spiritual items to confirm there were no issues, Lin Yuan began to refine them.


    First was the Vermilion Fruit.


    Lin Yuan cautiously picked it up.


    Under the light, there was a faintly flowing liquid inside the Vermilion Fruit, simr to magma.


    "I wonder what kind of special nts can produce such fruits." Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Then, he sat cross-legged and began to slowly absorb the energy within the Vermilion Fruit.


    There were two ways to use Vermilion Fruit.


    One was to directly swallow it, but the prerequisite was that the user''s strength had to be at least at the fourth rank.


    Only then could they withstand the terrifying energy burst when swallowing the Vermilion Fruit.


    If below the fourth rank, like Lin Yuan, one could only slowly absorb it.


    Although Lin Yuan had reached the realm of the fourth rank and ninth stage, even if he could barely refine Vermilion Fruit by swallowing it directly, there was no need for that.


    Time passed.


    More than a dayter.


    Only a thinyer of fruit peel remained in front of Lin Yuan.


    The essence inside had beenpletely absorbed by him.


    Next was the other cosmic spiritual item, ''Cold Jade''.


    Refining ''Cold Jade'' was much easier than Vermilion Fruit.


    Especially now that he had already refined Vermilion Fruit and his strength had subtly broken into the fourth rank, refining Cold Jade naturally became easier.


    Half a dayter.


    The entire piece of Cold Jade disappeared.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his aura like a ck hole, the forces of Yin and Yang turning into ck and white, connecting with heaven and earth.


    "Finally restored to the fourth rank and ninth stage."


    Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes, exhaling softly.


    At this moment, deep within his dantian sea of qi, the Yin-Yang power formed a Tai Chi pattern, resembling a miniature gxy, constantly rotating and intertwining.


    "Now that my Tai Chi Field has reached this level, it should be considered a true domain."


    With a slight movement of his mind, Lin Yuan easily covered the entire Dongning City with his Tai Chi Field.


    And if Lin Yuan wished, he could continue to expand it further.


    The power of a domain could only be mastered by fourth and fifth rank evolvers.


    But even then, it was only a possibility.


    In fact, the vast majority of fourth and fifth rank evolvers were unable to master a domain.


    This was not rted to theirbat strength, but rather to their own evolutionary system and talent.


    For example, Lin Yuan, with Tai Chi as the foundation, perfectly integrated Yin and Yang, leading to the emergence of a domain.


    He had mastered the Tai Chi Field at the second rank, which was the embryonic form of a domain.


    Other evolvers who practiced martial arts, even if they didn''t have the same level of insight as Lin Yuan, as long as they followed the martial arts evolutionary path and mastered Yin and Yang to form the Tai Chi Dao, even if they didn''t condense the Tai Chi Field at the second rank, by the time they reached the fourth or fifth rank, they would naturally master the Tai Chi Domain.


    This was the advantage of the evolutionary system.


    "Continue cultivation."


    After fully restoring his strength, Lin Yuan once again immersed himself in cultivation and enlightenment.


    With his extraordinary insight, Lin Yuan wasn''t just cultivating while traversing worlds; he could also cultivate and gain insights in the main world.


    However,pared to spending years, decades, or even centuries in the world of traversing, Lin Yuan''s stay in the main world was short, which led to the misconception that his strength was mostly obtained through traversing.


    In reality, if Lin Yuan were given decades or centuries in the main world, he could also reach a terrifying height.


    As time approached, the excitement surrounding the arena matches grew.


    Especially for the uing Global Top Ten Arena Matches, which gathered the attention of most citizens of the Cann Star.


    Whether they were evolvers or ordinary citizens, everyone wanted to know which evolver would ultimately be the champion.


    "In my opinion, the Thunder God has a great chance of winning the championship. His evolutionary path is the first on our Cann Star, even though it''s now second."


    "Anyway, there''s nothing wrong with his evolutionary method. The Thunder God himself has withstood thunder without dying and can transform into thunder. Just this ability alone is enough."


    A well-known "anchor" started analyzing and releasing various videos to prove his point.


    "The Thunder God is only third rank, though."


    "But what about Yang Wei, who has awakened to the sixth rank bloodline? He has the greatest hope of winning."


    "A sixth rank bloodline, do you know what it means to have a sixth rank bloodline? Not only does it have a high upper limit of the sixth rank, but even at the lower ranks, it can awaken some innate abilities in the bloodline. Can the Thunder God, as strong as he is,pare to someone with a sixth rank Fallen Star bloodline?"


    Another well-knownmentator stepped forward to refute and present his own views.


    "Heh, what is the Thunder Godpared to Fang Qing? Do you understand the value of the ''Ancient God'' evolutionary path?"


    "That''s a path with great reputation even in the Red Kun Star Domain. If it weren''t for the many restrictions on cultivation, would there even be such a thing as the ''Purple Thunder'' evolutionary method?"


    "And as for Yang Wei, even if he has awakened to a sixth rank bloodline, so what? The bloodline''s density is thin, what talents can he obtain?"


    A certain authority in the field of science scoffed.


    Countless people debated on the inte, each standing up for their favorite contestants.


    In the end, one anchor ranked the current top ten evolvers based on the number of supporters and the level of excitement.


    First: Thunder God.


    Second: Fang Qing.


    Third: Yang Wei.


    ...


    Ninth: Lin Yuan.

 Chapter 88

    Chapter 88


    The reason why the Thunder God ranks first is entirely due to its dazzlingbat style.


    Summoning thunder, controlling thunder, transforming into thunder, especially the transformation of thunder, has garnered countless fans.


    This resulted in higher poprity than Fang Qing, securing the top spot in this ranking.


    Of course, this kind of folk ranking does not hold much authority.


    It''s only based on the past records of the top ten evolvers and their current poprity.


    Nevertheless, the ranking of the top ten evolvers also reflects to some extent the oue of the final decisive battle.


    First of all, there are the top three, whether it''s the Thunder God, Fang Qing, or even that Yang Wei.


    In any case, the strength of these three evolvers is clearly a level above the other seven.


    Almost everyone believes that the champion will emerge from these three individuals.


    As for which one it will be, only time will tell after the battles.


    In order to ensure the fairness of thepetition, the organizers of the arena matches have not allowed these three evolvers to encounter each other so far.


    Yang Wei is an exception, having been overwhelmed by the Thunder God before awakening his sixth-rank bloodline.


    However, once the sixth-rank bloodline is awakened, it''s hard to say who will win.


    Bloodline-type evolvers are indeed constrained by their own bloodlines, but once they awaken a certain powerful bloodline, they can almost crush opponents of the same rank in the early stages.


    The day before the globalpetition.


    In the virtual world.


    The organizers of the arena matches found Lin Yuan.


    "Mr. Lin Yuan, hello, I am an assistant of the current arena match organizers." A woman with soft features and lc-colored pupils smiled and said.


    "Hello."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    "We need you to record a video, mainly expressing your thoughts on the uing top tenpetition."


    The female assistant paused for a moment and continued, "Of course, Mr. Lin Yuan, if you don''t know what to say, we can provide a script for you to read from."


    After saying this, the female assistant took out a stack of documents.


    Lin Yuan took it and casually nced at it, immediately understanding that these scripts were mainly for dering war on the other nine evolvers.


    Although it''s almost certain that the top three of this year''s arena matches will be Fang Qing, the Thunder God, and Yang Wei.


    Regardless, one must not lose momentum.


    Even if one fails to reach the top three, there are still fourth to tenth ces.


    Such pre-match interviews are meant to provoke, stimting other participants and the audience.


    "I''ll just speak for myself."


    After reading the interview script, Lin Yuan felt that none of them suited him.


    "If Mr. Lin Yuan has his own ideas, there''s no need to read from the script," the female assistant said softly. Having worked for more than one arena match, she knew that some evolver participants often felt nervous or emotional before thepetition, hence the thoughtful preparation of scripts.


    "Then I''ll go."


    "Lastly, I hope Mr. Lin Yuan can achieve a good ranking."


    The female assistant smiled and disappeared on the spot.


    That evening.


    Lin Yuan continued his usual practice.


    At this moment, the intelligent assistant reminded Lin Yuan that the ie division of the martial arts evolution pathway had been settled.


    "Let''s see how much money."


    Lin Yuan became interested.


    The ie division is settled once a year.


    Up to today, Lin Yuan has settled once.


    However, that time, he just barely made it into the top hundred in the martial arts evolution pathway, and the time wasn''t long, so the final ie division was only a little less than ten million.


    From thest settlement to this settlement, the martial arts evolution pathway has been in the top ten for almost a year, attracting many citizens to practice.


    "1.5 billion and 36 million?"


    Lin Yuan was slightly surprised to see the final ie division.


    This is just the ie, if you add the official''s seventy percent share and corresponding taxes, wouldn''t the total sales reach nearly a ten billion?


    [Evolution Pathway: Martial Arts]


    [Number of people practicing the Pre-Natal Chapter: Seven thousand eight hundred and ny-three]


    [Number of people practicing the Master Chapter: Two]


    [Number of people practicing the Grandmaster Chapter: Zero]


    "Someone has already practiced to the Master realm?"


    Lin Yuan nced at the relevant data of the martial arts evolution pathway.


    These data are from the official records of the Cosmic Human Alliance and the Unified Registry of Evolvers Association.


    There may be some errors, such as evolvers practicing to the Grandmaster realm but not registering.


    But it shouldn''t be many, someone like Lin Yuan, whose strength has surged significantly every eight months, is extremely rare.


    "This data is not right."


    Lin Yuan looked at the sales figures of various ranks of the martial arts evolution pathway again.


    "More than two hundred copies of the Third-Rank Chapter sold?"


    Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised.


    The current martial arts evolution pathway is divided into the First-Rank Chapter, Second-Rank Chapter, and Third-Rank Chapter.


    Lin Yuan priced these three stages as follows:


    First-Rank Chapter: Ten thousand.


    Second-Rank Chapter: Five hundred thousand.


    Third-Rank Chapter: Five million.


    And it hasn''t been long since Lin Yuan uploaded the Third-Rank Chapter of the martial arts evolution pathway.


    Yet it has already sold over two hundred copies? You should know that, at a price of five million each, two hundred copies amount to over 1 billion.


    Even after deducting the seventy percent taken by the authorities and taxes, there''s still three or four hundred millions left.


    This is not a small sum.


    "It should be a chain reaction caused by the martial arts evolution pathway reaching the top."


    Lin Yuan pondered for a while, roughly understanding the reason.


    After uploading the Third-Rank Chapter, it caused the Goddess of Wisdom to reassess the martial arts evolution pathway, leading to its top ranking on the Evolutionary Rankings.


    This matter might not be a big deal in the entire Red Kun Star Region, but for the Cann Star, it would definitely cause a stir in the evolvermunity.


    For those top evolvers, spending over five million to purchase and study the martial arts evolution pathway is nothing out of the ordinary.


    While over five million might seem like a lifetime''s earnings to ordinary citizens, it''s not a huge sum for third or fourth-rank evolvers.


    "It''s all paid back at once."


    Lin Yuan felt happy because the purchase of the "Vermilion Fruit" and "Cold Jade", two cosmic spirit items, had caused his wealth to shrink, but it was immediatelypensated.


    And there''s even a few hundred millions left.


    "The next settlement should bring in even more ie."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The impact of the martial arts evolution pathway reaching the top has notpletely fermented yet. With time passing, future evolvers born on Cann Star will inevitably prioritize the martial arts evolution pathway.


    After all, under simr costs, choosing an evolution pathway ranked first on the Evolutionary Rankings over one ranked second, third, or fourth is what any normal person would know how to choose.


    The next day.


    The officialpetition for the global top ten began.


    On an iparably huge arena, there appeared a male and a female host.


    These two hosts were the most famous hosts on Cann Star, responsible for exining the top ten finals of thispetition.


    The seats around were quickly filled with spectators, and on the virtual world broadcast screen, arge number of citizens were also shown watching.


    "Ladies and gentlemen, the long-awaited top ten finals have finally arrived. Who will win the championship of this arena match, I''m sure everyone is eagerly curious."


    The male host raised his hand and said loudly, "No more nonsense, let''s now invite our ten evolver participants onto the stage."


    The screen erged.


    Fang Qing, Thunder God, Yang Wei, Lin Yuan, and others appeared one after another.


    With each appearance of a contestant, there was a deafening cheer around, especially for Fang Qing, Thunder God, and Yang Wei.


    As for thetter, many were less interested, as everyone was mainly focused on who among Fang Qing, Thunder God, and Yang Wei would win the championship.


    "Lin Yuan, I love you."


    When it was Lin Yuan''s turn, some of the audience became excited.


    Lin Yuan''s style of y is special, he likes to "torture" his opponents, which has indeed attracted a group of "interestingly curious" die-hard fans.


    "Alright."


    At this point, the male host began to speak again.


    "I have to say, these ten people are the most outstanding young evolvers on our Cann Star, they are the future of our Cann Star."


    "But on the arena, victory and defeat still need to be determined."


    The male host''s voice was stirring, "The nextpetition is officially beginning."


    "First, the scoring match."


    "All ten evolver contestants will appear on an ind hundreds of miles long and wide." "All contestants'' goal is to find this blue crystal on the ind."


    The male host pointed his right hand, and a palm-sized, azure crystal appeared in front of everyone.


    "There are one hundred of these crystals, scattered in various hidden locations on the ind. The final ranking of the scoring match will be based on how many crystals each participant holds."


    The male host paused for a moment when he said this, "In this scoring match, there is no prohibition against contestants fighting each other."


    This sentence had a strong implication.


    No prohibition against fighting means that merely finding the crystal is not enough; the most important thing is to guard it.


    Otherwise, even if you find one hundred crystals, if you are killed and robbed by other evolvers, it''s all for nothing.


    "Now, thepetition begins."


    The male host and the female host said together.


    Immediately.


    Fang Qing, Thunder God, and others appeared in a certain location on the ind.


    And above the huge arena, there were ten screens showing the perspectives of the ten evolver participants.


    "Next, you can choose the perspective of your favorite participant. The perspective can be switched at any time."


    The male host reminded.


    As soon as he finished speaking.


    Many viewers began to choose their perspectives.


    Among the ten screens, the number of viewers watching each perspective was also updated in real-time.


    After a while.


    The number of viewers for each perspective stabilized.


    Among them, the perspective of Thunder God had the most viewers, over eleven billion.


    Next was Fang Qing, with just over ten billion.


    Yang Wei followed with just over 9 billion.


    The number of viewers on the screens fluctuated frequently, indicating that many viewers were switching between different perspectives.


    "Alright, thepetition begins."


    Every so often, the male host would switch perspectives to providementary.


    But most of the time, they focused on Thunder God, Fang Qing, and Yang Wei''s perspectives.


    After all, these three received the most attention, andmenting on them would garner the greatest response.


    "Finding things, I''m not very good at."


    Fang Qing appeared in a dense forest, his face sinking into thought.


    "But I can try."


    Fang Qing closed his eyes, and vaguely, a huge "ancient god" shadow appeared behind him.


    He utilized this ''Ancient God'' phantom to rapidly expand his perception.


    "Blue crystals?"


    Thunder God appeared at the edge of the ind. Faint blue lightning shed in his pupils, and finally, purple thunder enveloped him within hundreds and thousands of meters.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! One after another, blue crystals appeared under the collision of the purple thunder, falling into Thunder God''s hands.


    "Let me see where the crystals are."


    Yang Wei, with a stern demeanor, his pupils subtly deepening.


    Innate Talent - Insightful Eyes.


    In an instant, everything in Yang Wei''s perception, such as trees, rocks, and so on, became illusory.


    Only the blue crystals emitted unusual colors.


    "There''s a crystal there."


    Yang Wei ''saw'' a blue crystal and flew directly towards it.


    Over the huge arena.


    The male host was quicklymentating.


    "Look at our contestant Fang Qing, who has released the ''Ancient God'' phantom directly, enhancing his perception, and has already found six blue crystals."


    The male host praised and then switched the perspective to Thunder God.


    "My god, Thunder God has actually awakened the embryonic form of his domain. It should be the embryonic form of the Thunder Domain. Using this embryonic form of the domain to find blue crystals, he indeed has an advantage over other contestants."


    "Now our Thunder God contestant has found eleven crystals."


    "Yang Wei''s method of finding crystals is interesting. Can he directly know where the crystals are? Did he use some kind of pupil-rted bloodline talent?"


    The male host and the female host kept switching between the ten perspectives,menting one by one.


    Finally.


    The male host switched to Lin Yuan''s perspective.


    "Our contestant Lin Yuan is resting?"


    The male host was a bit stunned.


    In the first nine perspectives, all the contestants were frantically searching for crystals.


    But when it came to Lin Yuan, he was lying on a giant rock with his eyes closed as if resting?


    And this scene was also seen by many viewers.


    In Lin Yuan''s perspective, he was leisurely lying on the giant rock.


    It formed a strong contrast with the other contestants who were searching for crystals.


    "No way, could it be that he has already given up struggling?"


    "Right, Lin Yuan has mastered the embryonic form of the domain. In theory, he should be good at finding crystals, but finding them and keeping them are two different things."


    "With Lin Yuan''s strength, even if he finds the crystal, when he encounters powerful contestants like Thunder God and Fang Qingter, he will still have to obediently hand them over."


    Countless viewers were discussing, mostly thinking that Lin Yuan had started to y poorly. After all, even if he didn''t get one crystal, he would still be the tenth globally.


    "It seems that our contestant Lin Yuan is very good at choosing."


    The male host pondered for a while and finally came up with a better word.


    Next, the male host switched perspectives again.


    The passive attitude ofpetition like Lin Yuan''s is not supported by the official arena, as itcks excitement.


    Even if there is no hope, one must struggle a bit, so as to stimte more discussions.


    On a certain giant rock on the ind.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes and looked around.


    "It''s about time."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The rules of this scoring match were to find one hundred blue crystals scattered throughout the entire ind.


    These blue crystals could be hidden anywhere on the ind.


    Even if Lin Yuan wanted to find them, it would take some time.


    It would be better to wait until the other nine evolvers had collected most of them and then go ''pick peaches'' himself.


    After all, the rules of thepetition did not prohibit snatching, and even encouragedbat.


    "Let''s see who''s nearby."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts moved slightly, and his Tai Chi domain quickly spread.


    One mile, ten miles, twenty miles, thirty miles.


    "There are three."


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes, and his figure disappeared from the spot.


    "The tenth blue crystal."


    Yang Wei maintained the bloodline talent ''Insightful Eyes,'' and his efficiency in finding blue crystals was very fast. It didn''t take long for him to find the tenth crystal.


    It''s worth noting that there were only a hundred crystals on the entire ind.


    "Another one?"


    Yang Wei looked around, his eyes brightening, and he was about to move forward.


    Just then.


    A terrifying pressure descended.


    "This?"


    Yang Wei''s expression showed fear.


    Immediately, everything turned ck, and he became nothingness.


    The next moment.


    Yang Wei appeared in the rest area of the arena.


    "Me?"


    A look of disbelief appeared on Yang Wei''s face.


    "Am I dead?"


    Yang Wei''s mind was a mess.


    Until this moment, he still didn''t know how he died?


    You should know that even if he encountered the strongest Thunder God, Fang Qing, he still had the confidence to fight for a while. Even if he lost, it would be a close defeat.


    To be directly killed like this was too unbelievable.


    At the same time.


    In the high sky of the huge arena.


    The screen belonging to Yang Wei''s perspective suddenly went ''ck''.


    The nearly ten billion viewers watching Yang Wei''s perspective suddenly felt lost and exploded with discussion.


    ...

    Chapter 89


    Surprise at the end of the chapter :D


    ...


    "What''s going on?"


    "What just happened?"


    "Why did Yang Wei''s screen go ck?"


    At first, the audience thought it was an isted incident.


    Perhaps there was some issue with the inte connection.


    But after discussing with each other, they found out that all the screens showing Yang Wei''s perspective had turned ck, causing an uproar.


    High above the colossal arena, the male host clearly noticed the situation.


    Yang Wei had awakened the bloodline of a sixth-rank Fallen Star, making him one of the favorites for this year''s arenapetition. Even someone like the host would take a second look at him.


    After noticing the anomaly, the male host quickly took action.


    "Let''s take a look at what happened to Yang Wei in thest few seconds before he left the stage."


    With his vast experience, the male host knew that the sudden ckout was definitely not due to awork issue.


    After all, if it were truly awork problem, all ten screens would have been affected simultaneously.


    Another possibility for the sudden ckout was that the yer had been eliminated.


    The audience was aware of this possibility, but given Yang Wei''s poprity and strengthbeing a sixth-rank Fallen Starit was hard to believe that he could be eliminated so suddenly.


    With the male host''s guidance, the perspective of Yang Wei''s screen began to rewind.


    Back to three seconds before the ckout.


    The male host and nearly ten billion viewers alike were glued to the screen.


    A smile appeared on Yang Wei''s face, presumably because he had discovered the location of the next blue crystal.


    In the next moment, BOOM! Yang Wei was engulfed in a mist of blood, his internal organs shattered, and his body turned into nothingness.


    Since the host had selected the God''s perspective, the scene had not ended yet.


    Everyone could see clearly that after Yang Wei''s body exploded, nine blue crystals fell from his body.


    At that moment, a slender right hand caught the falling blue crystals.


    As the perspective shifted, the owner of the hand was revealed to be Lin Yuan.


    Lin Yuan collected the nine crystals and disappeared once again.


    This scene ignited a storm of discussion among all the viewers.


    "Lin Yuan?"


    "Lin Yuan killed Yang Wei?"


    "How is that possible? Does Lin Yuan have that kind of strength?"


    Countless viewers erupted into a frenzy of discussion.


    Even the host, who had been informed backstage that it was Lin Yuan who had killed Yang Wei, was at a loss for words at this moment.


    It was too unbelievable.


    Too incredible.


    "Our Lin Yuan really knows how to hide his strength."


    The male host took a deep breath and exined to the audience with the data from backstage.


    In the resting area of thepetition, Yang Wei, who had already been eliminated, learned the reason for his death through the host''s rey and exnation.


    "This Lin Yuan..."


    Yang Wei clenched his fist. "He''s been hiding his strength all along."


    Since awakening his sixth-rank bloodline, a specialized team had been assigned to analyze his opponents for him.


    Based on the analysis, Yang Wei only needed to pay attention to Thunder God and Fang Qing. As for Lin Yuan, Yang Wei had also watched videos of Lin Yuan''s battles and deemed him not worthy of much attention.


    But now?


    With Yang Wei eliminated, more and more viewers began to watch Lin Yuan''s perspective.


    From tens of millions to hundreds of millions, and billions of viewers.


    After all, just the audience watching Yang Wei numbered nearly a ten billion. With Yang Wei out, this portion of the audience naturally switched to Lin Yuan''s perspective.


    Even the male host began tomentate on Lin Yuan''s perspective.


    "I have to say, the speed of our Lin Yuan is..."


    Just as the male host was marveling, Lin Yuan, in his perspective, found another evolver.


    Buzz! The evolver was a woman with slightly curved eyebrows, smiling like a crescent moon.


    This evolver''s name was Fan Yue, and despite her gentle appearance, she was a formidable opponent. In the unofficial rankings, Fan Yue ranked in the top four, just below Fang Qing, Thunder God, and Yang Wei.


    But in the next instant, Fan Yue turned into a mist of blood, crushed into nothingness.


    The six blue crystals on her body were also caught by Lin Yuan.


    The audience''s exmations once again echoed throughout the stands.


    If, during the incident where Yang Wei was killed, most of the audience hadn''t realized what happened since their focus was on Yang Wei, unaware of how Lin Yuan had acted.


    This time, however, many viewers had their focus on Lin Yuan and witnessed the entire process of Fan Yue''s death.


    It could be summed up in one word: overwhelming.


    As if some invisible force suppressed Fan Yue, within ten meters of Lin Yuan, crushing her directly. Then Lin Yuan arrived just in time to pick up the fallen blue crystal.


    The whole process was seamless, without any pause or hindrance, and Fan Yue seemed extremely ''cooperative,'' as if she hadn''t struggled at all.


    Next.


    Under the gaze of all the audience.


    The third.


    The fourth.


    The fifth.


    One by one, contestants were inexplicably crushed, and the audience''s perspective naturally switched to Lin Yuan''s view.


    As more and more viewers watched Lin Yuan''s perspective, a brief silence was followed by a boiling frenzy among billions of spectators. Countless viewers went crazy.


    "Is this Lin Yuan?"


    "So powerful?"


    "Who''s the idiot that ranked Lin Yuan ninth?"


    "His current strength, fourth rank?"


    As more viewers switched to Lin Yuan''s perspective, even fans of Thunder God and Fang Qing gathered around, discussing fervently.


    In this year''s arenapetition, and perhaps even in previouspetitions, it was rare to see an evolver like Lin Yuan easily overpowering other contestants.


    After all, the prerequisite for participating in the arena was to be under a hundred years old, and even reaching third rank was considered impressive.


    As for anything stronger? They would likely be recruited by other gctic-level forces to participate in gctic or ster-level arenapetitions.


    On the spectator stands.


    "Damn it, I thought I could beat him." Bing Yan looked towards Lin Yuan on the battlefield, who seemed almost godlike.


    He was also among the top twenty evolvers in this year''s arena, at the third rank, and had fought against Lin Yuan before.


    At that time, Lin Yuan had not yet revealed such terrifying strength, so Bing Yan thought he had a chance of winning.


    But now, looking at it, his thoughts back then seemedughable.


    "Oh my god, is Lin Big Brother really this strong?" Zong Bai, Cao Rong, and others stared wide-eyed.


    Even President Liao, next to them, showed the same incredulous expression.


    Especially President Liao, who, when sending videos of other contestants'' battles, noticed that Lin Yuan seemed uninterested and thought he didn''t believe he could win.


    Now, he realized that Lin Yuan was truly disinterested.


    On the ind.


    Hundreds of meters around Thunder God were surrounded by purple thunder.


    And he himself was speeding in one direction.


    With the embryonic form of the Thunder Domain, Thunder God had already collected fifteen blue crystals.


    "Hmm?"


    Thunder God suddenly stopped in his tracks.


    The thunder domain that pervaded the surroundings was suddenly subjected to a terrifying suppression and instantly dissipated.


    "Are you... Lin Yuan?" Thunder God''s pupils constricted as he looked towards a figure that had appeared nearby at some point.


    "It''s me," Lin Yuan also scrutinized Thunder God.


    Unlike other evolvers, Thunder God''s physique had been baptized by thunder, making him exceptionally unique, which was why Lin Yuan hadn''t directly suppressed him.


    Instead, he intended to study him for a while.


    Now that Lin Yuan was already at the fourth rank and ninth stage, he only needed to take a few nces at other third-rank evolvers to understand them.


    Only Thunder God and Fang Qing required a bit more attention.


    "It''s you?" Thunder God''s gaze towards Lin Yuan grew tense.


    At this moment, he vaguely sensed that, centered around Lin Yuan, there was a powerful force that pervaded the heavens and the earth, suppressing everything.


    It was far more potent and perfect than his embryonic thunder domain.


    His instinct told him that Lin Yuan was too powerful, so powerful that he surpassed the limits of Thunder God''s resistance.


    Just like just now, his embryonic thunder domain had been instantly shattered.


    "You can make a move against me." Lin Yuan''s eyes shed with an unusual color as he spoke.


    Make a move against him? Thunder God''s mouth twitched. At this moment, Lin Yuan gave him the feeling of a towering mountain.


    And he, Thunder God, was just an ordinary person.


    Now, this towering mountain was telling him to make a move against him.


    How should he make a move?


    With what should he make a move?


    "No."


    "I am Thunder God."


    "I can lose, but I cannot be afraid."


    Thunder God took a deep breath.


    His skin, flesh, organs, bones, almost instantaneously transformed into purple thunder.


    Bing thunder.


    Facing other opponents, Thunder God rarely used this ability at the first opportunity.


    But the pressure Lin Yuan exerted on him was too great.


    So great that if he didn''t transform into thunder, he might just concede defeat on his own.


    "Flesh Energyization?" Lin Yuan''s eyes lit up.


    This ability was extremely rare. At least since the arenapetition began, Lin Yuan had seen many evolvers, but only Thunder God possessed it.


    Boom! Thunder God transformed into purple thunder and struck towards Lin Yuan directly.


    Hum!!


    When the purple thunder was within ten meters of Lin Yuan.


    It suddenly exploded, and countless strands of faint purple thunder converged, once again forming the figure of Thunder God.


    "Not bad, not bad." Lin Yuan nodded.


    "Come again."


    Thunder God spat out blood and transformed into thunder once again.


    So it continued for three times.


    In the final attempt, Thunder God forcefully transformed into thunder, causing his body to copse, and he willingly died in front of Lin Yuan.


    "So, this ability to transform into thunder can only be used a maximum of three times in a short period."


    Lin Yuan pondered silently.


    However, through observing Thunder God transform into thunder three times, Lin Yuan also benefited greatly. He collected the blue crystals dropped by Thunder God and went to find the next evolver.


    "So strong."


    "Lin Yuan, I love you."


    "Thunder God was already powerful, but he''s like a child in front of Lin Yuan."


    "Indeed, I guess if it weren''t for Lin Yuan''s interest in tormenting opponents, the fight would have ended earlier, just like with Yang Wei."


    Countless discussions erupted among the audience. Earlier, they debated which evolver was stronger, but now they were debating how strong Lin Yuan was.


    Unfortunately, given Lin Yuan''s current strength, it was evident that he was in apletely different leaguepared to other evolvers.


    It was like a father disciplining his child.


    "Huh?"


    "Why is it so quiet?"


    Somewhere on the ind, Fang Qing looked slightly puzzled.


    Behind him, a towering ''Ancient God'' shadow stood, continuously releasing its perception in all directions.


    The urate perception range of the ''Ancient God'' shadow was about two to three li (Chinese unit of length, around 500-750 meters) around it.


    Within this range, every detail would appear in Fang Qing''s mind.


    As for outside this range, the ''Ancient God'' shadow also had a vague sense.


    For example, the approximate aura of other evolvers, and so on.


    But now.


    Fang Qing suddenly felt that the entire ind had fallen into a kind of silence.


    It felt as if he was the only one moving around.


    "What''s happening?"


    Fang Qing was puzzled.


    However, it was currently during thepetition period, so he couldn''t contact the outside world.


    A momentter.


    In the rest area.


    Fang Qing''s figure appeared.


    "Me?!"


    Aplex and somewhat fearful expression appeared on Fang Qing''s face. Just now, he had encountered Lin Yuan, or rather, Lin Yuan had found him.


    What followed was a battle in which Fang Qing was repeatedly toyed with, no matter how he resisted and struggled.


    No matter how exquisite the evolution path of the ''Ancient God'' was, it was constantly suppressed in the face of Lin Yuan.


    What puzzled Fang Qing even more was that with Lin Yuan''s strength, he could easily kill him, but he didn''t.


    This behavior made Fang Qing extremely certain that Lin Yuan indeed had a hobby of ''tormenting'' opponents.


    "You''ve all been eliminated."


    Fang Qing immediately noticed that apart from him, Thunder God, Yang Wei, and eight other evolvers were also in the rest area.


    "Then Lin Yuan..."


    Yang Wei gritted his teeth. He wanted to say that Lin Yuan was bullying the weak and cheated, but considering the rules of the arenapetition, it was impossible for Lin Yuan to cheat.


    Fang Qing nced around and suddenly understood.


    It seemed that everyone had been eliminated by Lin Yuan.


    "Kid, look closely. Lin Yuan is definitely at the fourth rank, and probably at the ninth stage. He controls aplete domain, talent-wise, he''s light-years ahead of you."


    A palm-sized old man with a white beard suddenly appeared on Fang Qing''s shoulder.


    At this moment, this old man was watching the video of the recent matches. His words revealed a hint of disdain towards Fang Qing.


    "Fourth rank and ninth stage?" Fang Qing shrank his neck. Even with the inheritance from his teacher and the intelligent lifeform of the old man with the white beard, it would take him at least a hundred years to break through to the fourth rank.


    Not to mention the ninth stage of the fourth rank.


    When Fang Qing and the other nine contestants were all eliminated.


    Lin Yuan, the only contestant on the ind, naturally became the ultimate winner of the personalpetition.


    The personalpetition ended.


    Next was the teampetition.


    However.


    Several evolvers like Fang Qing, as long as they were matched against Lin Yuan, would directly concede defeat.


    What a joke. Why bother not admitting defeat and waiting to be tortured?


    This disappointed Lin Yuan somewhat. He had originally nned to continue experiencing the transformation of thunder and the evolution method of the ancient god.


    Several dayster.


    The final rankings of the personalpetition of the arena match were announced.


    Lin Yuan ranked first, representing the Cann Star as the number one.


    With the end of the personalpetition, the official distribution of rewards for the arena match began.


    First were the rewards for the global number one.


    "These...?"


    Lin Yuan looked at the reward list in front of him, and his expression changed slightly.


    ...


    Guys, I finally created the discord server, you can speak with me there :D

 Chapter 90

    Chapter 90


    Comparison to the rewards for the group matches, the rewards for the individual matches were much richer, both in terms of quantity and quality, far surpassing those of the group matches.


    Especially for Lin Yuan, achieving the global first ce ranking meant even more substantial rewards.


    "Mr. Lin Yuan, if there''s anything on the reward list that you don''t understand, feel free to ask me," said a woman standing beside him, wearing a pink dress with an elegant demeanor that couldn''t help but evoke a sense of fondness.


    There were fifty items listed on the reward list.


    Some were high-tech weapons, battleships, and spacecraft.


    There were also lineages of evolution pathways, among which was the "Purple Thunder" evolution pathway cultivated by Thunder God, which had once dominated the rankings on the Cann Star.


    There were also some cosmic "treasures", ster "artifacts", rare "spiritual objects", and so on.


    As the first-ce winner of the arena individual match, Lin Yuan could choose five items from among them, and he had the priority to choose.


    In other words, the other evolvers could only make their selections after Lin Yuan had made his.


    ording to the rules of the arena match:


    The first-ce winner could choose five items.


    The second and third-ce winners could choose three items each.


    The fourth to tenth ce winners could choose one item each.


    "Which five should I choose?" Lin Yuan pondered quickly.


    To be honest, Lin Yuan wanted all fifty items on the reward list.


    After all, each item was valuable and worth billions, and they couldn''t be bought with money alone; they also required citizen privileges and other restrictions.


    Even if Lin Yuan didn''t need them himself, he could sell them at a premium, and countless people would be willing to buy them.


    "I don''t need the Rank-3 Gic Elixir."


    "I don''t need the Rank-4 Orbital Cannon, either."


    Lin Yuan eliminated one item after another, finally settling on five.


    First: Rank-4 Life Fruit.


    This cosmic treasure contained arge amount of life force. For evolvers below Rank-5, as long as their souls remained intact, they could quickly recover from any serious injuries by consuming the Life Fruit.


    It belonged to the category of life-saving treasures.


    Moreover, the Rank-4 Life Fruit also had a certain effect on Rank-5 evolvers. As long as the injuries were not fatal, it would still be effective.


    Lin Yuan chose the Life Fruit as a precaution against extreme situations. In case he suffered any injuries, he could use it immediately.


    Furthermore, in the Cosmic Human Alliance, Life Fruits were highly valuable and always in short supply. Even if Lin Yuan didn''t need them, he could liquidate them in the future.


    Second: Soul Defense Artifact "Soul Calming Bell."


    The Soul Calming Bell could guard one''s own soul and effectively defend against other soul attacks or soul interference.


    For life, the soul is crucial. In the CosmicHuman Alliance, the criterion for determining whether someone is a human is not based on the physical body but on the soul.


    For example, some cosmic geniuses with great opportunities might "possess" certain powerful special life forms.


    Is this cosmic genius still considered human?


    Also, some influential figures'' descendants might exchange for more powerful physical bodies. Is this descendant still considered the offspring of the influential figure?


    The first one counts.


    The second one counts too.


    As long as the soul is unique, it''s okay.


    Third: Jiuli Liquid.


    This liquid can increase the basic strength of the physical body to a certain extent, only effective for Rank-4 and below evolvers.


    While the soul is crucial, the physical body is also indispensable.


    Jiuli Liquid, on the CosmicHuman Alliance''smerce app, requires five billion just to have a chance of buying it.


    It''s just a chance; often, as soon as it appears, it''s sold out.


    Fourth: Soul Nurturing Jade.


    Wearing this jade for a long time can subtly enhance soul strength.


    As for the fifth item, he chose a Rank-6 evolution technique.


    This Rank-6 evolution technique came from another life star. From its description, it should greatlyplement Lin Yuan''s martial arts cultivation system.


    If Lin Yuan were to buy it directly, each evolution technique would cost tens of billions.


    Among the fifty items, this Rank-6 evolution technique could be considered top-notch.


    "That''s all."


    Lin Yuan returned the reward list to the woman in the pink dress.


    "All right."


    The woman''s eyes were gentle. Before leaving, she suddenly mentioned, "By the way, Mr. Lin Yuan, there may be news from the Red Kun Star Domain in some time."


    "I understand," Lin Yuan nodded.


    Even before the third transmigration, Lin Yuan had learned from the Goddess of Wisdom that this arenapetition might attract the attention of the Lord of the Red Kun Star Domain.


    The Lord of the Red Kun Star Domain was a supreme figure who ruled over an entire star domain.


    Currently, the Cann Star was also under the jurisdiction of the Red Kun Star Domain, one of the millions of lifes under its rule.


    Of course, the exnation given by the Goddess of Wisdom was vague.


    It only mentioned the possibility of attracting the attention of the Lord of the Red Kun Star Domain, and even if attention was received, there might not necessarily be any reaction.


    After choosing his rewards, the other evolvers began to make their selections one by one.


    "I''ll choose these three," Fang Qing said with a somewhat disappointed tone.


    In this arenapetition, he had achieved second ce, second only to Lin Yuan.


    Even so, Fang Qing still felt somewhat uneasy.


    Mainly because the gap in strength between him and Lin Yuan was too great. If it were Thunder God or Yang Wei who had achieved second ce, he could ept it, feeling that he had hope of catching up.


    The white-bearded old man sitting on his shoulder shook his head and said, "Fang kid, you don''t need to me yourself. That Lin Yuan kid indeed has some talent, but the evolution path he cultivates is definitely not as good as the ''Ancient God'' evolution path."


    "He may be ahead of you now, and perhaps even for the next ten or twenty years, but a hundred or a few hundred years from now, he definitely won''t be able to keep up with you."


    "You have the aptitude to cultivate the ''Ancient God'' evolution path, plus my guidance. In the future, there is a great hope of reaching Rank-6."


    "As for Lin Yuan? He will most likely be stuck at the Rank-6 bottleneck, and by then, you can take out your frustration by beating him up."


    The white-bearded old manforted him.


    Actually, if he had the choice, he would indeed consider changing the inheritor. That Lin Yuan wasn''t bad.


    But once the inheritor of the ''Ancient God'' evolution path was determined, it couldn''t be changed. In other words, the white-bearded old man could only go down one path.


    In this case, he could onlyfort Fang Qing, this ipetent inheritor.


    "Yes."


    "What matters now is not who''s stronger than me."


    "What I want is the future, what I want is what''s toe."


    "Being able to reach Rank-6 and roam the starry sky, destroying stars with a single blow, isn''t that much more satisfying than now?"


    Fang Qing breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his future was bright.


    As time passed, news of the Cann Star arenapetition quickly spread to surrounding lifes.


    This arenapetition unexpectedly produced a Rank-4 evolver, which was unheard of for tens of thousands of years on the Cann Star.


    For a medium-sized life like Cann Star, the probability of producing a Rank-4 evolver under a hundred years old was almost zero.


    Only those higher-level lifes, or even the main stars of star domains, had a higher probability of producing Rank-4 evolvers under a hundred years old.


    At thending area of the Cann Star spacecraft, a beautiful woman stepped out.


    In the interster age, regardless of gender, appearance would not becking. Not to mention gic correction, even postnatal stic surgery could easily adjust one''s appearance without any future troubles.


    However, this beautiful woman not only had a stunning appearance but also exuded a special charm. Any male who saw her couldn''t help but want to conquer her.


    "I didn''t expect a Rank-4 under a hundred years old to be born on this remote," the beautiful woman said as soon as she stepped off the spaceship, and a special hovercar came to pick her up.


    "The task ofing here this time is to induce this Rank-4 genius to join our n and influence them as much as possible," the beautiful woman thought to herself quickly.


    Direct assassination would incur too great a cost.


    After all, to assassinate a Rank-4, at least Rank-5 strength was needed.


    If both were Rank-4, and one couldn''t kill the other instantly, as long as the other held on for a second or two, the''s defense system''s energy cannon would arrive.


    Only Rank-5 was secure.


    And after assassinating a Rank-5, they would definitely be torn to shreds by the subsequent defense system and the arriving human strongmen.


    In other words, to assassinate a human Rank-4 genius, one had to sacrifice the life of a Rank-5 strongman.


    And this Rank-5 strongman also had to infiltrate the human race and have aplete and legal identity.


    Otherwise, it would be impossible to enter the Cann Star and get close to the target.


    Achieving this was probably a hundred or a thousand times more difficult than cultivating a Rank-5 strongman.


    The three goddesses of the human race were not joking. Escaping their information blockade, no matter which alien race it was, required a great price.


    So, unless they were the founders of those higher-Rank evolution paths, aliens would not easily assassinate.


    Assassination was ast resort.


    Apart from assassination, there were plenty of means to employ.


    Water Moon Residential Area.


    Residence No. 32.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, constantly pondering the content of the ''Pagoda'' evolution path.


    The Pagoda evolution path was a Rank-6 evolution path originating from a high-level life called the Pagoda Star.


    This evolution path was precisely the one Lin Yuan had chosen in the arenapetition.


    "It''s truly profound," Lin Yuan contemted this evolution path.


    [Your insight is unrivaled,prehending the Pagoda evolution path, continuously perfecting the martial evolution path.]


    [Your insight is unrivaled,prehending the Pagoda evolution path, continuously perfecting the martial evolution path.]


    [Your insight is unrivaled,prehending the Pagoda evolution path, continuously perfecting the martial evolution path.]


    With his unrivaled insight, Lin Yuan was constantly improving, and browsing other profound evolution paths greatly elerated this process.


    "It''s a pity that even such a exquisite evolution path still hasn''t surpassed the limitations of Rank-6," Lin Yuan sighed.


    Rank-6 to Rank-7 is a major bottleneck.


    This applies to evolvers as well as evolution paths.


    "Never mind."


    "I''ll go out for a walk and clear my mind."


    Lin Yuan got up and left the underground training ground, intending to take a stroll in the garden of the Water Moon Residential Area.


    As an upscale residential area, the Water Moon Residential Area''s garden was filled with flowers from all seasons, making it a pleasant sight.


    Since it was early morning, there weren''t many people in the garden, making it quite serene.


    Suddenly, a beautiful woman approached from the opposite direction.


    She seemed to be a resident of the Water Moon Residential Area as well.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan had a faint feeling of being observed and couldn''t help but nce at the beautiful woman a few times.


    Take a look.


    Take another look.


    And another.


    Lin Yuan even stopped in his tracks, staring at the back of the beautiful woman.


    "It really is a man."


    Although the beautiful woman didn''t turn around, she could sense Lin Yuan''s gaze.


    She intentionally pretended to have a chance encounter during this time period just to show herself in front of Lin Yuan.


    Her n cultivated a special charm technique that could naturally attract the opposite sex.


    When she moved just now, she unconsciously used this charm technique, which directly caused the Rank-4 genius to stop in his tracks.


    This made the beautiful woman more confident in her next actions.


    Dealing with these young human geniuses by demoralizing them was the best way.


    This was much easier than direct assassination and gave her a sense of aplishment.


    [Your insight is unrivaled, observing unknown lifeforms,prehending unknown ''charm technique''.]


    "Unknown ''charm technique''?"


    Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and immediately realized that this ''charm technique'' seemed to be something that the human race couldn''t perform.


    "A ''charm technique'' that the human race can''t perform, how did that woman use it?"


    Lin Yuan was puzzled.


    He could be sure that when the beautiful woman passed by him, she had used this unknown ''charm technique'', otherwise, his unparalleled insight wouldn''t have sensed it andprehended it.


    "If there''s a problem, ask the Goddess."


    Lin Yuan couldn''t be bothered to think too much. After returning to his residence, he directly connected to the Goddess of Wisdom.


    He uploaded the information about this unknown ''charm technique''.


    In less than a moment, he received a reply from the Goddess of Wisdom.


    "Respected citizen Lin Yuan, this ''charm technique''es from the Flower God n. It is a high-level ''charm technique'' formed by the n utilizing special talents within their bloodline,bined with rted secrets, capable of charming the minds of others."


    The Goddess of Wisdom exined clearly.


    "The Flower God n?"


    Lin Yuan squinted his eyes slightly.


    This n was a nt-based lifeform and was an antagonistic race to the human race.


    Because of their expertise in disguise and their familiarity with charming the minds of others, they often infiltrated human civilizations and acted as spies.


    "That woman should be a member of the alien Flower God n."


    Lin Yuan thought of the beautiful woman he had encountered in the garden just now.


    With so many lifes in the Cosmic Human Alliance and so many high-level residential areas, the appearance of this alien near Lin Yuan was probably targeted at him.


    "Is it because of the exposure from the arenapetition?"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    In the arenapetition, revealing his Rank-4 strength was a decision Lin Yuan had made only after consulting the Goddess of Wisdom.


    The exnation from the Goddess of Wisdom was that although humans under a hundred years old with Rank-4 strength would indeed attract the attention of aliens, it would only be attention, and they wouldn''t be put on an assassination list.


    At most, they would be subjected to persuasion and corruption. As long as Lin Yuan was cautious in advance, nothing would happen.


    Revealing Rank-4 strength was very likely to attract the attention of the Lord of the Red Kun Star Domain and might even lead to great opportunities and benefits.


    The risk was small.


    The opportunities were high.


    Considering everything, Lin Yuan chose to reveal his strength and crush thepetition.


    "To think I''ve discovered an alien."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts surged.


    If used properly, this alien could bring many benefits to Lin Yuan.


    For example, following the traces of this alien might uncover more aliens behind her.


    And aliens infiltrating human civilization definitely carried a lot of treasures. Lin Yuan could definitely gain something by fishing in troubled waters.


    "Never mind."


    "There''s no need to associate with these rats in the gutter."


    After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan directly connected to the Goddess of Wisdom.


    "Goddess of Wisdom, I have something to report."


    ...


    Do you like his decision?

 Chapter 91

    Chapter 91


    The Cosmic Human Alliance, as well as the three intelligent goddesses, encourage citizens to report any issues.


    Reporting here includes any aspectofficial misconduct, discovering other citizens'' criminal activities, tax evasion bypanies, information about aliens, and so on.


    Moreover, it is not a voluntary report; afterward, the goddesses will judge the impact of the report and give rewards ordingly.


    Rewards can include cash, positions, rare items from the universe, celestial artifacts, and even merit points. As for the reporting method, it is extremely simple and does not require anyplex procedures; you can directly connect to the Goddess of Wisdom.


    In theory, even first-ss citizens have the power and ability to reportary governors.


    Of course, while the goddesses support reporting, they do not support random reporting. If an investigationter reveals that the report was unfounded and entirely fabricated, it will lower the citizen''s evaluation with the goddesses.


    If the citizen insists on their report, they can then release their privacy permissions for specialized illusion-type evolvers to browse their memories.


    For Lin Yuan, reporting the woman he suspects to be an alien to the Goddess of Wisdom is the easiest method. With his current status, there''s no need for him to have any contact with unseen aliens.


    Handing it over to the Goddess of Wisdom for handling is sufficient. Plus, he''ll receive a reporting reward.


    "Citizen Lin Yuan, please speak," the Goddess of Wisdom said with a slightly cautious tone upon hearing Lin Yuan''s report.


    "I went out for a walk just now and ran into a woman. I think she might be an alien" Lin Yuan said without specifying the real reason for his suspicion or presenting any evidence. This would involve his "Unrivaled Insight".


    Moreover, given Lin Yuan''s current citizen level, even if he made baseless ims, the Goddess of Wisdom would still conduct a thorough investigation. Besides, the woman in question is indeed an alien, so how could she withstand the Goddess of Wisdom''s scrutiny?


    "Are you referring to this person?" A virtual screen appeared in front of Lin Yuan, showing the footage of Lin Yuan walking in the garden just now. One of the tall and slim beautiful women passed by Lin Yuan.


    "Yes, that''s her," Lin Yuan nodded.


    As soon as Lin Yuan made the report, all information about this woman, Yao Qingqing, from birth to the present, as well as all information from her ancestors for hundreds of generations, was immediately retrieved.


    "Name: Yao Qingqing. Age: Ny-two. Strength: Second Rank Seventh Stage. Birth."


    After a few minutes of analyzing with the vastputing power of the Goddess of Wisdom, the suspicious point about this "Yao Qingqing" was immediately discovered.


    When this "Yao Qingqing" was twenty-eight years old, she was suspected to have been "switched." Since then, her behavior analysis has diverged from the previous twenty-eight years.


    "The suspicious link is closed, and an evolver has been dispatched to capture ''Yao Qingqing.''" Because Lin Yuan is the informant and his citizen level has reached the fourth level, the Goddess of Wisdom did not avoid Lin Yuan.


    "The Flower God n." Just as the Goddess of Wisdom began to act, thoughts about the "Flower God n" shed through Lin Yuan''s mind.


    The Flower God n belongs to the Insect n and is a member of the Insect n Alliance. In the two million years of the Star Sea calendar, with human civilization spanning all corners, the surrounding alien races, driven to desperation, had to unite.


    Among them, the Insect n Alliance, led by the Insect n, is a coalition of races. The strength of the Insect n is very strong, not weaker than that of the human race.


    This group is too united, and under the order of the Mother Nest, all Insect n warriors fearlessly obey. Wherever the swarm passes, it''s a disaster for all life.


    In the early expansion, human civilization also suffered a few losses from the Insect n, butter adapted, and their losses were rtively few.


    Yao Qingqing sat in a cafe outside the Water Moon District, feeling good. Through the recent contact, she judged that Lin Yuan should not have much resistance to herself. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have stopped and stared at her back.


    "It''s a pity. I have to take it slowly; otherwise..." Yao Qingqing nced at the Water Moon District not far away. Just now, she almost stopped and directly contacted Lin Yuan.


    "This task should be almost guaranteed. After a few more coincidences, I can officially get to know him, and then I can firmly control this human evolver genius in my hands." Yao Qingqing thought to herself, showing a smug look.


    She had experienced many tasks, but it was rare for it to be this easy. Yao Qingqing spected that it was mainly because Lin Yuan was too young and had not seen much of the world, so he couldn''t resist her.


    "Let a human genius fall silently; I wonder what rewards I''ll get." Yao Qingqing thought contentedly.


    At this moment, most of Yao Qingqing''s attention was on the Water Moon District not far away. So she didn''t notice that the cafe she was in was nowpletely empty. Even the staff had disappeared.


    "Hmm?" Yao Qingqing''s heart suddenly sank. Without leaving any trace, she nced around. Finding no one, her expression immediately became ugly.


    "Damn it. How did they find me?" As a senior "spy", Yao Qingqing never believed in coincidences.


    When Yao Qingqing entered the caf, there were still many people, but now there was no one, clearly indicating that her whereabouts had been exposed and detected by the human authorities.


    Thinking of this, Yao Qingqing collected herself and stood up, intending to leave. Her current n was that she hoped the human authorities would only be suspicious of her or underestimate her strength, so they wouldn''t use too much force.


    On the surface, Yao Qingqing was a Second Rank Seventh Stage evolver. But in reality, Yao Qingqing was already a Third Rank Eleventh Stage evolver.


    As long as the human authorities didn''t dispatch a Third Rank Twelfth Stage evolver or even a Fourth Rank evolver, she, Yao Qingqing, would have hope of escaping.


    However, Yao Qingqing had not taken a few steps when a man with a smile as bright as sunshine walked into the caf''s entrance.


    "Hello," the man smiled at Yao Qingqing.


    In an instant, Yao Qingqing felt dizzy.


    "This... This is a Fifth Rank evolver, or a Soul Illusion type Fifth Rank?" Yao Qingqing felt somewhat hopeless.


    A Fifth Rank evolver was already considered the strongest life form on the surface. Even on a medium-sized life like Cann Star, there were only three or four Fifth Rank evolvers.


    These three or four were not without holding important positions and couldn''t be moved easily. Now, there was actually a Fifth Rank evolvering to her?


    Moreover, this Fifth Rank evolver belonged to the Soul Illusion type. In front of such an evolver, Yao Qingqing didn''t even have the ability tomit suicide. A single gaze was enough to plunge her into an illusion, unable to extricate herself.


    In thest moments of consciousness, Yao Qingqing''s mind kept reying everything since she arrived on Cann Star. She hade to Cann Star under the guise of a business trip, and everything she had done was not out of line.


    Even when she entered the Water Moon District, it was under the pretext of buying a residence, having the staff take her in. When she encountered Lin Yuan, she didn''t even speak to him.


    At most, she secretly released her charm, but this charm was a secret skill of the Flower God n, at most only making people feel good without leaving any traces.


    How did he discover it? Could it be that Lin Yuan noticed something strange about her? Even so, with this human genius reporting her, would the Goddess of Wisdom mobilize a Fifth Rank evolver to capture her?


    As her thoughts wandered, Yao Qingqing had already fallen into a deep sleep.


    "It''s done," the man with the smile as bright as sunshine snapped his fingers at the caf entrance, and a group of people came in and carried Yao Qingqing out.


    "She''s just a small fish; why did the Goddess of Wisdom make me take action?" The Fifth Rank evolver was puzzled. "Could she have other value?"


    The man pondered for a moment, but still didn''t understand, so he turned and left.


    Water Moon District.


    Balcony of Residence No. 32.


    Lin Yuan leaned on the balcony and looked out.


    "This spiritual fluctuation..." Lin Yuan was surprised. Just now, he faintly sensed an extremely profound spiritual fluctuation.


    This spiritual fluctuation far exceeded the Fourth Rank.


    "Respected Citizen Lin Yuan, the capture of the alien spy has beenpleted," came the solemn and cold voice of the Goddess of Wisdom.


    "Oh?" Lin Yuan looked thoughtful. He spected that the spiritual fluctuation just now should have been the capture of Yao Qingqing.


    "Is this Yao Qingqing very strong?" Lin Yuan asked curiously. Just by sensing the spiritual fluctuation from afar, Lin Yuan was sure that the captor''s strength was at least at the Fifth Rank.


    "For now, she has hidden part of her strength, and her true strength is at the Third Rank," the Goddess of Wisdom replied.


    "A Third Rank alien, using a Fifth Rank evolver?" Lin Yuan was astonished. Were the powerful beings in the CosmicHuman Alliance now so wealthy?


    "Respected Citizen Lin Yuan, your importance to humanity warrants such action" the Goddess of Wisdom replied seriously.


    For the Goddess of Wisdom, Lin Yuan''s fourth-level citizen status and the genius qualification of being a fourth-level evolver under a hundred years old were nothing.


    What truly made the Goddess of Wisdom take notice was the martial evolution path created by Lin Yuan. The martial evolution path that had a sixty percent chance of reaching the Sixth Rank.


    The encounter with aliens had made Lin Yuan feel a certain sense of crisis.


    Although ording to the Goddess of Wisdom, as long as Lin Yuan didn''t reveal his identity as the founder of the martial evolution path, a fourth-level human genius under a hundred years old wasn''t worth the price for aliens.


    At most, they would be tempted and guided like Yao Qingqing. But what if? Lin Yuan was not willing to risk his life on the side of the aliens.


    "Moving."


    "Now, move."


    Although Water Moon District was a high-end area, it was still aimed at ordinary citizens.


    It was obviously not suitable for Lin Yuan now.


    After winning the championship in the arena, the official of Cann Star awarded the top ten evolvers a mansion each for free.


    The mansion was located in the top-notch district at the highest point of the Central Continent, at the core of theary defense system of Cann Star.


    It could be said that living there, even if a Fifth Rank alien came to assassinate, would be useless.


    The opponent would be locked by theary defense system the moment they made a move, without even needing reaction time.


    And around that mansion, specific evolvers patrolled all the time, making it impossible for outsiders to enter.


    Parent''s home.


    Lin Yuan stood outside the house with Lin Shou Cheng and Lin Qiong.


    His younger sister, Lin Yi, was also beside them, looking eagerly at the house in front of her.


    This house was the one given by the Huo family initially, and since Lin Yuan chose to move, it was natural to move with his parents.


    Anyway, the residence in the Central Continent was very spacious, enough for dozens of people to live in.


    A momentter, two men in uniforms approached and bowed to Lin Yuan, then respectfully said, "Mr. Lin, we are here to help you move, as ordered."


    "Thank you." Lin Yuan nodded and smiled.


    Actually, there wasn''t much to move, mainly some items of sentimental value left by his parents over the past few decades.


    As for other furniture and appliances, they were all prepared in the mansion long ago.


    "What? Reluctant?" Lin Yuan nced at his sister, Lin Yi, and said casually.


    "I am a little reluctant." Lin Yi nodded. Although she hadn''t lived in this ce for long,pared to the old house she lived in at the beginning, it was undoubtedly like heaven.


    "Let''s go, the new house will be better." After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he turned and sat on the aircraft.


    From Dongning City to the Central Continent, it was almost halfway across the, so naturally, transportation tools like spacecraft were needed.


    Of course, with Lin Yuan''s strength, he could fly there himself, but there was no need for that.


    Half a dayter.


    The aircraftnded at the highest point of the Central Continent.


    "This is your future residence, Vi No. 66, Mr. Lin." The men in uniforms walked ahead while introducing:


    "The entire vi covers an area of a hundred acres, with a main building and six auxiliary buildings, as well as a dedicated training ground underground, and other areas where you can nt some fruit trees and gardens."


    Lin Yuan had already seen the video of the vi in advance, so he wasn''t surprised by this, but his parents and sister hadn''t blinked their eyes.


    Especially Lin Yi, the emotional turmoil she had before was swept away, and her eyes were constantly scanning around.


    "This vi is bigger than ordinary neighborhoods, right?" Lin Shou Cheng eximed in amazement. As the core of Cann Star, the Central Continent was indeed preciousnd.


    As a result, such arge vi was built here?


    This was simply...


    Lin Yuan apanied his parents as they walked.


    This vi was a symbol of status, something that even with money couldn''t be bought.


    It was left behind by the government of Cann Star specifically for attracting evolvers like Lin Yuan with unlimited potential.


    After moving into the vi, Lin Yuan would definitely live in the main building. This was beyond doubt, even if Lin Yuan tried to defer, Lin Shou Cheng and Lin Qiong, as a couple, wouldn''t ept it.


    Lin Yi saw Lin Yuan arguing with their parents and took the opportunity to say shamelessly, "Stop arguing, I''ll live in the main building."


    As a result, she was pped by Lin Qiong and ran aside sulking.


    The next day.


    Lin Yuan had just finished his cultivation.


    The intelligent butler robot dragged a semi-human-sized alloy box and walked in.


    "It''s the prize from the arena."


    Lin Yuan''s spirit shook.


    There were five prizes in the arena, four of which were physical items.


    Therefore, it couldn''t be distributed directly like the Pagoda Evolution Method.


    Instead, it would be delivered a few dayster.


    After moving to the new vi, Lin Yuan also updated histest address.


    Today, the prize was finally delivered.


    Lin Yuan verified his identity and opened the alloy box in front of him.


    The first thing that caught his eye was a small, palm-sized, pitch-ck clock.

 Chapter 92

    Chapter 92


    "Soul Calming Bell!"


    Lin Yuan picked up the small ck bell, examining it repeatedly.


    Among the fifty prizes of this tournament, the most valuable was the Soul Calming Bell.


    A rare soul-defense weapon, exceptionally rare at that. The quality of the Soul Calming Bell reached the fourth rank, making it almost invincible against fourth-rank illusion-type soul evolvers.


    Lin Yuan touched the ck bell, his thoughts subtly moving as his soul power merged into it, beginning the process of refining.


    In less than a moment, the Soul Calming Bell disappeared, appearing in his mind''s eye.


    "Not bad, not bad."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    Among many paths of evolution, the evolution path of soul illusions was the most unpredictable and mysterious, making it difficult to defend against their attacks.


    Especially soul attacks, which ignored physical defenses and targeted souls specifically.


    Without soul-defense weapons or secret techniques to guard the soul, one could only endure soul attacks.


    Endure and live.


    Fail to endure, and die.


    With this Soul Calming Bell, Lin Yuan''s sense of security increased significantly.


    Although there were means in the martial arts evolution path to defend against soul attacks.


    But having an additional Soul Calming Bell for protection was naturally a good thing.


    Furthermore.


    Lin Yuan chose the Soul Calming Bell toplement the ''Life Fruit.''


    If one day Lin Yuan''s physical body was shattered, leaving only the soul protected by the Soul Calming Bell.


    At this time, taking the Life Fruit would rapidly restore Lin Yuan''s physical body with its immense vitality, effectively granting him another life.


    Thinking of this, Lin Yuan cast his gaze toward another item.


    It was a wooden box containing the Life Fruit.


    Lin Yuan picked up the wooden box and gently opened it.


    In an instant, a terrifying vitality spread outwards.


    The rich fragrance intoxicated everything, all changes stemming from the contents of the wooden box - a fist-sized, emerald-green fruit.


    "I really want to swallow it in one gulp."


    Lin Yuan swallowed his saliva. His instinct told him that consuming this Life Fruit would be greatly beneficial to him.


    But in reality, it was just instinct.


    ording to the description of the Life Fruit, for a period of time after consumption, every cell in the body would be surrounded by countless life energies.


    During this period, no matter what injuries were sustained, they would rapidly heal at a terrifying speed.


    But this effect was only temporary; once the effect of the Life Fruit disappeared, everything would return to its original state.


    Snap!


    Lin Yuan directly closed the wooden box.


    Leaving the Life Fruit exposed to the air would cause the internal life force to dissipate at a certain rate.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan nced around.


    During the time the wooden box was open, a rich fragrance lingered in the air, which was also a manifestation of the life force.


    "I''ll absorb it."


    Lin Yuan took a deep breath. With his physique, all the air around him, including the fragrance from the Life Fruit, was sucked into his chest.


    Then all the fragrance was absorbed, a faint vitality lingered, giving Lin Yuan a feeling of ethereal pleasure.


    After savoring it for a while, Lin Yuan put away the wooden box.


    "Soul Nurturing Jade."


    Lin Yuan picked up the third item.


    It was a jade pendant, almost transparent. When in contact with the skin, there would be a slight energy infusion, slowly nourishing the soul.


    Although the speed was slow, it was continuous. As long as Lin Yuan stayed with it for a day, this effect would not disappear. Even if Lin Yuan advanced to the fifth rank in the future, the effect would only weaken.


    "A precious treasure."


    Lin Yuan carried the Soul Nurturing Jade with him.


    "Jiuli Liquid."


    Lin Yuan looked at thest item.


    The Jiuli originated from a barbaric. When the Cosmic Human Alliance conquered the, they discovered that the local creatures, through some kind of sacrificial means, produced ''Jiuli Holy Water,'' which had a decent effect on enhancing the physical body.


    Later, after improvement by some schrs of human civilization, the ''Jiuli Liquid'' was born.


    Compared to the ''Jiuli Holy Water,'' the effect of the Jiuli Liquid was much stronger, and it had few side effects.


    Lin Yuan picked up the Jiuli Liquid.


    It was a test tube containing a faint silver liquid, looking extremely beautiful and dazzling.


    "A Jiuli Liquid worth five billion, and there''s even a purchase limit? Only citizens of third rank or above can buy it?"


    Lin Yuan carefully observed.


    Before this, the most valuable thing he bought was the ''Zhu Fruit,'' priced at 700 millions each.


    And one portion of Jiuli Liquid could buy seven portions of Zhu Fruit.


    "The correct way to use Jiuli Liquid is not to swallow it directly or refine it."


    "It''s to dilute it and use it to soak the whole body."


    Lin Yuan came to the bath, filling the water level to two-thirds, then undressed and soaked in.


    "It is said that using Jiuli Liquid is very painful. In that barbaric, not everyone could withstand the baptism of the ''Jiuli Holy Water.''"


    Lin Yuan opened the test tube and slowly poured the silver liquid into the bath.


    Almost the next moment.


    Lin Yuan felt his skin starting to heat up.


    "Is it taking effect?"


    Lin Yuan immediately poured the rest of the Jiuli Liquid.


    Then he closed his eyes, slowly experiencing the changes in his body.


    First, it was the scorching heat.


    From the skin, to the flesh, to the organs, to the bones.


    Layer byyer, the temperature continued to rise.


    Lin Yuan''s expression remained calm; this slight pain was nothing to him.


    To others, Lin Yuan appeared to be a genius evolver around twenty years old.


    But in reality, Lin Yuan had lived for more than two hundred years, spanning three lifetimes.


    Although still far from the average age of fourth-rank evolvers, adapting to the pain of the Jiuli Liquid was naturally a breeze for Lin Yuan.


    Hiss...


    As the Jiuli Liquid continued to be absorbed.


    Lin Yuan''s physique was continuously improving.


    Tiny ck stains began to appear on the surface of his skin.


    Originally, Lin Yuan had already undergone a transformation all over his body through the cultivation method from the ''Lon He'' flesh.


    However, now, the effect of the Jiuli Liquid was prating deeper, once again baptizing Lin Yuan''s body.


    Half a dayter.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes.


    "My physical body."


    Lin Yuan felt the astonishing power within his body, "Compared to before using the Jiuli Liquid, it''s at least thirty to fifty percent stronger."


    The physical body is the foundation of everything, with a strong physical body, a strong soul can be nurtured.


    "Unfortunately, the Jiuli Liquid is only effective the first time it''s used."


    Feeling for a moment, Lin Yuan opened his eyes, showing a hint of regret.


    In fact, not only the Jiuli Liquid, the vast majority of treasures that can greatly strengthen the physical body or soul have many restrictions, only being effective the first time used.


    Virtual world.


    Arena area.


    This area is specifically used for evolvers to spar.


    "I can''t do it anymore."


    Fang Qing''s voice trembled, and his whole body flew out, spitting out blood.


    If it weren''t for the virtual world, if this scene happened in reality, Fang Qing would be at least seriously injured and would need several months of rest to recover.


    "Big Brother Lin, your strength is too strong. Even if I''m suppressed to the third rank level, I still can''t beat you."


    Fang Qing''s injuries quickly healed, looking at Lin Yuan with bitterness.


    "It''s okay,e a few more times."


    Lin Yuan smiled slightly.


    The reason for sparring with Fang Qing was entirely because thetter took the initiative toe. Shortly after moving to the Central Maind Manor, Fang Qing, who also moved, took the initiative toe over.


    Fang Qing''s manor was dozens of miles away from Lin Yuan''s manor, considered neighbors.


    The two of them got acquainted and often sparred in the virtual world.


    Of course, Lin Yuan was naturally willing. Fang Qing''s cultivation path of the ''Ancient God'' was a path of evolution surpassing the sixth rank.


    During the previous points match, although Lin Yuan had a brief insight, due to the time limit of the match, he could only end it hastily.


    Now that Fang Qing took the initiative toe over, Lin Yuan had no reason to refuse.


    Every time he sparred with Fang Qing, Lin Yuan gained something from his opponent.


    Of course, Fang Qing waspletely unaware of this. Not only Fang Qing, but even his intelligent life form, the white-bearded old man, also wouldn''t think that Lin Yuan''s insight was so terrifying that just a few spars could allow him to learn almost everything about his opponent.


    They thought Lin Yuan was a very enthusiastic evolver, actively being Fang Qing''s sparring partner.


    "Good."


    Fang Qing seemed to think of something and immediately surged with motivation, charging towards Lin Yuan again.


    As he charged, a ''Ancient God'' shadow faintly emerged behind Fang Qing, making the same movements as Fang Qing''s back.


    "Ancient God."


    Lin Yuan looked at the shadow behind Fang Qing, his expression slightly solemn.


    Through so many spars, Lin Yuan had already realized that the so-called ''Ancient God'' was also a powerful life form.


    This kind of life form was so powerful that it integrated its own life imprint into the world''s rules.


    As a result, as long as any creature practiced ording to the cultivation method it left behind, they could summon the power within the heavens and earth.


    Of course, to summon the ''Ancient God'' shadow, one must have a certain degree of simrity to the corresponding Ancient God.


    This threshold seems not high, but it is very difficult to achieve. The Ancient Gods are such existences that even billions and billions of creatures may not produce one who can be simr to an Ancient God to a certain degree.


    Boom.


    The ''Ancient God'' shadow behind Fang Qing raised its right fist and was about to smash down.


    But it was suppressed by Lin Yuan''s hand, then lightly pinched and turned into powder.


    "Ah?"


    Fang Qing spewed out blood again and flew out.


    "I won''t fight anymore."


    Fang Qing was almost crying.


    The white-bearded old man had told him that only by constantly sparring with opponents could he eventually defeat them.


    With this idea in mind, Fang Qing took the initiative to find Lin Yuan to try.


    But now, he saw it, he couldn''t beat him, he couldn''t beat him at all.


    Even though Lin Yuan saw Fang Qing pitiful, he actively said that he suppressed his strength and sparred with Fang Qing at the third rank level.


    Still couldn''t win.


    The two were simply not on the same level.


    "Go back and rest for a while."


    "Come again tomorrow."


    Lin Yuan had some insight in his heart.


    Through constant contact with the ''Ancient God'' shadow.


    Lin Yuan has vaguely understood where the essence of the evolution path beyond the sixth rank lies and how it differs from other evolution paths.


    This aspect is very important.


    Although Lin Yuan currently only has the fourth rank, as the founder of a new evolution path, he needs a broader vision to judge the next direction.


    Other evolvers only need to cultivate ording toplete evolutionary paths, without such efforts.


    But Lin Yuan is different, he needs to determine the direction to follow.


    "Rules."


    "Still rules."


    "I''m not mistaken about my direction."


    "As for why the ultimate potential of the evolutionary path is still hopeless at the seventh rank, it''s because my understanding of the rules is too shallow."


    Lin Yuan silently thought to himself.


    The rules of the main world are vast, and what Lin Yuanprehended in the Divine World is nothingpared to the main world.


    On the other side.


    Fang Qing also returned to his personal space with a heavy heart.


    "Teacher, do you think I have any chance of surpassing Big Brother Lin, even if we consider the distant future?"


    Fang Qing couldn''t help but speak.


    Swish.


    A white-bearded old man appeared and sat on Fang Qing''s shoulder.


    The white-bearded old man was only the size of a palm, but his face was full of incredulity.


    "Genius, I never thought I would misjudge someone one day."


    The white-bearded old man muttered to himself, somewhat incredulous.


    "Ah?"


    Fang Qing''s face turned slightly red.


    "Fool, I''m not talking about you."


    The white-bearded old man nced at Fang Qing, "That Lin Yuan, has actually touched the essence of the rules."


    "Without guidance beyond the sixth rank evolutionary path, he can touch the essence of the rules, this kind of genius, even in a star field, there wouldn''t be many."


    The white-bearded old man eximed in surprise.


    During the points match, Lin Yuan used the Taiji domain to crush Fang Qing.


    So the white-bearded old man didn''t notice, he just felt that Lin Yuan was using the power of the fourth rank to bully the weak.


    But through the dozens of spars just now, especially when Lin Yuan suppressed his power to the third rank, the white-bearded old man immediately saw that Lin Yuan had begun to touch the essence of the rules.


    With such insight, the possibility of stepping into the sixth rank in the future is at least fifty percent, even greater than Fang Qing who possesses the Ancient God evolution method.


    "Ah?"


    Fang Qing looked puzzled.


    "Don''t think about defeating Lin Yuan, it''s not realistic, unless there is some great opportunity in the future..."


    "Under normal development, you don''t have that hope."


    The white-bearded old man fell into thought, he nced at Fang Qing and thought of Lin Yuan just now, feeling somewhat frustrated.


    "Okay."


    Fang Qing shrank his head, somewhat afraid to look directly at the white-bearded old man.


    He had a feeling that if it weren''t for the inability to change the sessor, the white-bearded old man would probably be thinking about how to rece him right now and choose Lin Yuan instead.


    In the depths of the starry sky.


    A huge creature was roaming around, it was red all over, and its size was tens of times that of the Cann Star.


    "Where am I now? I''ll just take a nap."


    Just then, the huge creature opened its eyes, and its eyes alone wereparable to half a.


    Swish.


    The huge creature''s body changed, suddenly shrinking.


    In the blink of an eye, it turned into the appearance of an old man over two meters tall.


    He was dressed in red robes, standing tall in the starry sky, exuding energy waves almost like a star.


    "Lord Red Kun, it''s time for you to go back."


    Just then, a solemn and cold voice sounded.


    "Wisdom Goddess."


    The old man in the red robe, Red Kun Lord, stretchedzily.


    "Right."


    "The arena matches should be almost over."


    Red Kun Lord''s heart moved, connecting to the virtual world.


    "Last time I chose the Nnd Gxy, this time I''ll choose the Dawn Gxy. Let me see which geniuses have emerged in this round of arena matches."


    Muttering to himself, Red Kun Lord watched.


    Every moment, nearly a hundred million matches shed by.


    Suddenly.


    The match screen stopped.


    Red Kun Lord raised his eyebrows.


    "Huh!"


    ...


    15 chapters ahead on patreon: /David_Lord

 Chapter 93

    Chapter 93


    Discord Server: https://discord.gg/Qv4K3rZv


    ...


    In the cold expanse of the starry sky, the Star Lord Red Kun''s expression revealed surprise.


    As a figure of the ster lord level, surpassing the sixth rank, Star Lord Red Kun rarely experienced such emotions.


    "So many geniuses emerged in this tournament?"


    The screen in front of Star Lord Red Kun suddenly stopped, then split into over a hundred screens, each ying videos of different matches.


    These over a hundred screens corresponded to over a hundred evolver contestants.


    These individuals were naturally the "geniuses" mentioned by Star Lord Red Kun.


    The Dawn Gxy is one of the eight major Gxies in the Red Kun Star Territory, with 120k inhabiteds.


    And on these 120k inhabiteds, tournaments are held, and rankings are determined.


    From this vast pool of evolvers, Star Lord Red Kun selected just over a hundred, which could be considered a very selective process, given that it took hundreds of millions to produce just one such individual.


    Star Lord Red Kun''s gaze lingered on the first three screens.


    The evolvers on these three screens were a silver-haired woman, a man with a third eye in the center of his forehead, and a burly man wielding a massive hammer.


    "Space talent. Quite a good seedling," Star Lord Red Kunmented after watching thebat video of the silver-haired woman for a while, nodding slightly.


    "I didn''t expect there to be a member of the Tree-Eyed n?"


    Star Lord Red Kun nced at the man with three eyes.


    The Tree-Eyed n is a branch of the human race. Even within the human race, there are different branches, such as the categorization based on skin color: yellow, white, and ck.


    And the Tree-Eyed n is an incredibly rare branch within the human race.


    So rare that they cannot even form specific families. The reason for this is that the inheritance of the Tree-Eyed n is not passed from father to son, but awakens randomly.


    And the terrifyingly low probability means that currently, throughout the entire Human Alliance, the number of Tree-Eyed n members does not exceed one hundred thousand, scattered across various regions of human territory.


    Of course.


    The scarcity of their numbers makes the talents of the Tree-Eyed n exceptionally strong. It is said that the third eye on the forehead of a Tree-Eyed n member can see the rules of the universe and deliver a blow far beyond their own strength.


    "The rudiments of the Rule of Strength are grasped. There shouldn''t be much of a problem reaching the sixth rank in the future," Star Lord Red Kun remarked as he looked at the burly man holding the giant hammer.


    Based onparisons with previous tournaments, if one of these three individuals appeared, it would be considered lucky. Yet this time, three had appeared in a row, which was why Star Lord Red Kun was surprised.


    After viewing the first three evolvers, Star Lord Red Kun''s gaze continued downward.


    At the sixty-eighth position, Star Lord Red Kun saw Lin Yuan.


    "Two extreme attribute rules. This path won''t be easy in the future."


    Star Lord Red Kunmented briefly before moving on.


    "Not easy" refers only to evolvers below the sixth rank.


    In the eyes of the great Star Lord Red Kun, it was just that.


    "Since there are so many geniuses in this tournament, let''s open the ''Seven-Star Cave'' test."


    After pondering for a moment, Star Lord Red Kun waved his hand and said, "The top three evolvers are granted Crimson Mark, the next one hundred and fifteen are granted Gold Mark. Additionally, the top ten of each''s tournament will also be granted Silver Mark."


    "Enter the ''Seven-Star Cave'' together."


    In the Central Maind Manor.


    Lin Yuan had just finished his cultivation and was about to spar with Fang Qing in the virtual world to study the ''Ancient God'' evolution path.


    Suddenly, a prompt popped up in front of him.


    "About to enter the ''Seven-Star Cave'' world."


    "Please prepare."


    "5, 4, 3..."


    The countdown began.


    Lin Yuan looked bewildered.


    It was the first time he had encountered being forcibly pulled into the virtual world without his consent.


    There wasn''t even an option to refuse.


    The next moment.


    The countdown ended.


    The environment around Lin Yuan changed, and he found himself in a vast white jade za.


    At this moment, Lin Yuan could only see the scenery within a few meters of him. As for the further surroundings, they were covered inyers of mist.


    "Please adjust your facial features and body shape."


    A mechanical voice sounded in Lin Yuan''s ears.


    "Is it to conceal my identity?" Lin Yuan pondered, making slight modifications to his appearance and overall demeanor to give himself a slightly colder aura.


    When Lin Yuan finished adjusting, the mist around him suddenly dissipated.


    Looking around, Lin Yuan saw millions of evolvers scattered across the za.


    These evolvers had varying auras, but at least they were all of the third rank or higher, with many being fourth-rank evolvers.


    "The markings on their faces?"


    Lin Yuan clearly noticed that each evolver had a silver-colored mark on their profile.


    "Why is mine golden?"


    Lin Yuan touched his own cheek. Although he couldn''t see it with his eyes, at his level, he could perceive every detail of himself through his senses.


    "And this ''Seven-Star Cave'' world..."


    Lin Yuan nced around the za and began to specte.


    "They should know something?"


    Lin Yuan looked towards three evolvers gathered not far away, whispering to each other.


    Lin Yuan walked over.


    The three evolvers clearly noticed Lin Yuan, especially when they saw the golden mark on his profile. Fear immediately appeared on their faces.


    "Respected Gold Mark, sir."


    Even before Lin Yuan reached them, the leader among the three evolvers bowed slightly to Lin Yuan.


    "Gold Mark, sir?" Lin Yuan remained unchanged in expression. The "Gold Mark" referred to the golden mark on his profile.


    In other words, the Gold Mark was more noble than the Silver Mark? At least, from the expressions of these three evolvers, Lin Yuan could draw such a conclusion.


    "Yes," Lin Yuan casually replied.


    "We three are from the ''Ice Sea Star.'' May I ask which the Gold Mark sir is from?"


    "Moon Spirit Star," Lin Yuan replied casually.


    Moon Spirit Star, an advanced life in the Dawn Gxy, was also the birthce of the ''Source Force'' evolution path that Lin Yuan had purchased.


    "Moon Spirit Star, I''ve heard of it. It''s an incredibly powerful."


    "I didn''t expect a Gold Mark sir to emerge from Moon Spirit Star in this tournament."


    "In this Seven-Star Cave test, the Gold Mark sir will surely pass the test."


    Through the proactive ttery of these three evolvers, Lin Yuan immediately understood the purpose of the Seven-Star Cave world.


    "Test by Star Lord Red Kun?"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Early in the tournament, Lin Yuan knew that the top ten of the tournament might receive attention from Star Lord Red Kun.


    Even the Goddess of Wisdom had hinted to Lin Yuan, intentionally or unintentionally, to seize this opportunity.


    During the global top tenpetition, Lin Yuan directly erupted with fourth-rank strength, revealing his talent.


    Originally, Lin Yuan thought he might receive rewards from Star Lord Red Kun at most.


    "The Seven-Star Cave world is a virtual world created by Star Lord Red Kun specifically to test geniuses. As long as you pass through the seven star caves, you will be eligible to join the Red Kun lineage."


    "Of course, before entering the Seven-Star Cave world, Star Lord Red Kun will award the ''Crimson Mark,'' ''Gold Mark,'' and ''Silver Mark'' ording to the performance of each evolver in the tournament."


    "The Crimson Mark has the highest status. The evolvers granted the Crimson Mark are basically seeds with unlimited potential, future sixth-rank candidates."


    "As for the Gold Mark, although not as prestigious as the Crimson Mark, they are also unparalleled geniuses. Very few are produced in an entire star domain, and the probability of advancing to the sixth rank in the future is also very high."


    As for the Silver Mark, they are the top ten in each''s tournament.


    Although these Silver Mark evolvers are ''star'' evolvers on their respectives and are highly regarded, they appear ordinary here. Everyone who can enter the Seven-Star Cave world is such an existence."


    "Red Kun lineage."


    Lin Yuan''s eyes lit up slightly.


    There was no doubt that the Red Kun lineage was the strongest force in the entire Red Kun Star Territory, and Star Lord Red Kun himself surpassed the level of ''Falling Star'' (sixth rank).


    If Lin Yuan could enter such a force, it would be of great benefit to his own growth.


    Not to mention other things, just in terms of safety, Lin Yuan wouldn''t have to worry for a long time in the future.


    Moreover, if he could have close contact with such an existence as Star Lord Red Kun and receive his guidance.


    For Lin Yuan, the effect would be far greater than trying toprehend alone.


    Unrivaled Insight was especially adept in this regard.


    "But how to pass through the seven star caves?" Lin Yuan fell into contemtion.


    To know how to pass through the seven star caves, he would need to know the specific content.


    For example, how to pass each level? Once he knew the content in advance, he could naturally gain an advantage.


    Although Lin Yuan currently had fourth-rank strength and had begun toprehend many rules, he didn''t underestimate other evolvers.


    Ignoring other evolvers with Gold Marks for now, above the Gold Mark were the Crimson Marks.


    Since Star Lord Red Kun, such an existence, designated him as a Gold Mark, he must have thought that he hadn''t reached the standard of a Crimson Mark yet.


    In other words, Crimson Mark evolvers would be even stronger than Lin Yuan currently.


    While Lin Yuan was contemting.


    On the vast white jade za.


    A towering phantom suddenly appeared.


    "Twenty-four hourster, the Seven-Star Cave test will officially begin."


    "A friendly reminder: The Seven-Star Cave test consists of seven levels. As long as you pass through the seven star caves, you will pass."


    "Lastly, the test process must not be disclosed, otherwise, you will be punished by the Human Alliance and by the Star Lord."


    After saying these words, the towering phantom disappeared.


    "Must not disclose the test process?" Lin Yuan furrowed his brows slightly.


    They were required to do so, and past evolvers who came to the Seven-Star Cave world would definitely be subject to this restriction.


    This meant that if he wanted to obtain information about the test, the difficulty would increase significantly.


    Because with the increased threshold for information, fewer people would know about it. It would inevitably be a raremodity. Thus, it would be more difficult for him to obtain relevant information again.


    Perhaps those evolvers from major forces or backgrounds knew about the test, but they wouldn''t easily tell Lin Yuan for nothing.


    "Hello, I''m from the Dawn Star."


    A short-haired man walked over, his profile marking, astonishingly like Lin Yuan''s, golden in color.


    "Dawn Star," Lin Yuan nced at the other party.


    Dawn Star, the main star of the Dawn Gxy, was the most prosperous area in the entire Gxy.


    It also had the highest number of high-level evolvers, with no shortage of sixth-rank Falling Stars.


    "Moon Spirit Star," Lin Yuan nodded.


    "Do we need to exchange information?" The short-haired man suddenly lowered his voice.


    Evolvers recognized and approved by Star Lord Red Kun as Gold Mark must have begun to touch the rules of origin. Such geniuses likely had a powerful force behind them.


    Although the test of the Seven-Star Cave world was strictly prohibited from being disclosed, for major forces, there were many ways to avoid this restriction, mostly by paying a price.


    "Do you want to go first?" Lin Yuan heard this and immediately had the idea of getting something for nothing.


    Anyway, even if he couldn''t say itter, the other party wouldn''t have any means to deal with him.


    "Which of the seven star caves is the most difficult?" The short-haired man wasn''t stupid and tested with a question first.


    "Which one?" Lin Yuan remained unchanged in expression.


    He didn''t know which one it was.


    "The seventh one" Lin Yuan said calmly.


    Based on Lin Yuan''s past experience, thest level was most likely the most difficult.


    "You lied to me," the short-haired man turned and walked away.


    "Hmm?" Lin Yuan wasn''t entirely empty-handed.


    At the very least, he knew that the most difficult level among the seven star caves was not the seventh.


    "Could it be that the first level is the hardest?" Lin Yuan pondered.


    This seemed to contradict the logic of passing levels; what if the first level eliminated everyone?


    Soon after, another Gold Mark evolver approached.


    "The first level is the most difficult," Lin Yuan replied.


    "You''re not sincere." This Gold Mark evolver shook his head, looked at Lin Yuan strangely, and also walked away.


    Next, several Gold Mark evolvers attempted to exchange information with Lin Yuan.


    Since evolvers who could appear in the Seven-Star Cave world were at least third-rank, they must have no problem with intelligence. It wouldn''t be easy for Lin Yuan to obtain information about the levels.


    "Respected Gold Mark."


    An evolver with a Silver Mark on his profile approached.


    "I know the information about the Seven-Star Cave and am willing to share it with you for free," the Silver Mark evolver said directly.


    He had been observing Lin Yuan for a long time and confirmed that Lin Yuan knew very little about the Seven-Star Cave.


    "What are your conditions?" Lin Yuan said calmly.


    "I hope that when the Gold Mark enters the test site, you can do three things for me," the Silver Mark evolver said.


    "What three things?" Lin Yuan looked at him, asking.


    "I don''t know that myself," the Silver Mark evolver shook his head. The test of the Seven-Star Cave varied, and no one knew what it would be like before it began.


    "Then forget it."


    Lin Yuan shook his head and refused.


    The request was too broad. What if the other party asked Lin Yuan to kill a Crimson Mark evolver? Or hand over the opportunity to pass the level?


    Lin Yuan didn''t want to take the risk.


    "Don''t you want to? Information about the Seven-Star Cave test is priceless. If you know it in advance, make preparations ordingly, and your pass rate will greatly increase."


    The Silver Mark evolver felt disappointed by Lin Yuan''s refusal but didn''t give up.


    After several evolvers offered information on the terms, Lin Yuan decided to disconnect from the virtual world and return to reality.


    In the Central Continent Manor, in the underground training ground of the main building, Lin Yuan rubbed his temples and fell into brief contemtion.


    "Information is crucial," Lin Yuan knew very well.


    It was like taking an exam; one person got the answers in advance, while another had to take the test blindly. Their situations would naturally be different.


    The situation in the Seven-Star Cave test, without or with information, had an even greater gap.


    If only the answers were concerned, Lin Yuan''s extraordinary insight would still allow him to ''score full marks'' even without them.


    But in the Seven-Star Cave test, if other evolvers took advantage of the information advantage to set Lin Yuan up or trick him, a slight mistake could lead to his elimination.


    "Let me ask the Goddess of Wisdom."


    Lin Yuan began to connect with the Goddess of Wisdom.


    Considering the status of the Goddess of Wisdom in the Human Alliance, she must know the content of the Seven-Star Cave test.


    However, it depended on whether she was willing to reveal it.


    "Citizen Lin Yuan''s permissions are insufficient."


    The solemn and cold voice of the Goddess of Wisdom came.


    This wasn''t unexpected to Lin Yuan. The rules of the Seven-Star Cave test prohibited the disclosure of the test process. Otherwise, it would incur punishment from the Human Alliance and the Star Lord.


    Under such circumstances, the Goddess of Wisdom would definitely not disclose it. After all, one of the foundations of the operation of the Three Goddesses was thews of the Alliance.


    "Forget it."


    "Even without the information, I can still pass through the seven star caves."


    Lin Yuan sighed and decided to give up.


    Although a few evolvers knew the information about the Seven-Star Cave test, Star Lord Red Kun must be aware of it. Even so, it wasn''tpletely prevented.


    It seemed that Star Lord Red Kun believed that even without prior knowledge of the information, there was still a possibility of passing through the seven star caves.


    "Strength is the foundation of everything."


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes and continued to cultivate.


    Meanwhile, outside the No. 66 Manor where Lin Yuan was located, a guest arrived.


    The guest was Fang Qing.


    At this moment, Fang Qing looked numb.


    In his ears echoed the continuous roar of the White-bearded Old Man.


    "You useless thing! You are not as good as Lin Yuan in terms of strength, and your talent is even further behind."


    "At this point, why aren''t you trying to make friends with him? What are you waiting for?"


    "About the information on the Seven-Star Cave test, the master prepared it specially while he was alive. Now, why aren''t you hurrying to deliver it to Lin Yuan?"


    "If you dy any longer and Lin Yuan gets the information, won''t it be toote for you to deliver it?"


    The urging roar of the White-bearded Old Man continued.


    ...


    Well, he is definitively different from Xiao Yan''s old man inside the ring :D


    15 chapters ahead on patreon: /David_Lord

 Chapter 94

    Chapter 94


    Central Maind Manor.


    Three-story main building.


    Lin Yuan and Fang Qing sat facing each other.


    "Brother Lin, I''ve got some information about the Seven Star Cave test in advance and I want to share it with you," Fang Qing said without dy.


    The roar of the white-bearded old man still echoed in his ears.


    Fang Qing didn''t want to endure that torment again.


    "Oh?"


    Lin Yuan''s heart stirred slightly.


    The Seven Star Cave test set by the Star Lord of Red Kun, its rted information is blocked by the Cosmic Human Alliance and the Star Lord himself.


    Under such conditions, the Evolvers who still manage to know the information are all extraordinary figures. Behind them, there is at least a powerful entity from a high-level life, dominating one side.


    Or it could be a major force with a sixth-rank falling star as its leader.


    As a medium-level life, Cann Star does not have the conditions to give birth to such forces.


    "It seems that the spection is true."


    Lin Yuan''s expression became slightly solemn as he looked at Fang Qing.


    During the arenapetition, someone collected information on the top fifty Evolver contestants at the time.


    Fang Qing''s conjecture was that he seemed to have obtained a great opportunity, gaining the inheritance of a powerful Evolver.


    Later, Fang Qing revealed the means of the "Ancient God" evolution path, which further confirmed this spection.


    The "Ancient God" evolution path uses a powerful "Ancient God" deep in the starry sky as a reference for cultivation.


    If there is not extremely detailed guidance, the practitioner will be contaminated by the "Ancient God".


    And then be a servant or even a puppet incarnation of this "Ancient God".


    For those powerful beings, a nce or a thought is enough to destroy countless lower-level lives.


    Currently, among the publicly avable evolutionary paths of the Cosmic Human Alliance, there is no "Ancient God" evolutionary path, precisely because of the enormous risks of practicing it.


    Other evolutionary paths, if you fail in cultivation, you may die at most.


    But with the "Ancient God" evolution path, if you mess up, you will directly be the vessel for the arrival of the "Ancient God".


    Of course, the cosmic human civilization only prohibits the widespread dissemination of the "Ancient God" evolution path and has notpletely eradicated it.


    As for the reason, it is because many "Ancient Gods" in the depths of the starry sky have already fallen or disappeared into the long history.


    Cultivating the "Ancient God" evolutionary path, although risky, also has the potential to inherit the authority and everything of that "Ancient God".


    In summary, since Fang Qing dares to cultivate the "Ancient God" evolutionary path, he must have detailed guidance for this path, and even have special intelligent beings correcting any problems in Fang Qing''s cultivation process at all times.


    "But I know nothing about the Seven Star Cave test."


    Fang Qing came to share information, so logically Lin Yuan should also share information with him, so this point needs to be rified.


    "It''s okay."


    "We are both from Cann Star and should help each other."


    Fang Qing waved his hand. After all, information can be said to be priceless, or it can be said to be worthless. After all, there is no need for any follow-up costs.


    "But before I say it, Brother Lin, you should have the Wisdom Goddess stop monitoring because information about the Seven Star Cave test is prohibited by the Alliance," Fang Qing seemed to realize something and hurriedly said.


    This manor is Lin Yuan''s territory, so only Lin Yuan has the right to privacy and can shut off the Wisdom Goddess.


    "Okay."


    Lin Yuan nodded, then immediately connected to the Wisdom Goddess and asked it not to pay attention to this side for the time being.


    After doing all this.


    Fang Qing began to tell about the information about the Seven Star Cave test.


    "In fact, the Seven Star Cave test rarely appears. Generally, it only opens when the Star Lord of RedKun is in a good mood," Fang Qing sighed.


    The RedKun Star Domain has eight major star systems. After each arenapetition, the Star Lord will select one star system and test the top ten from each life in it.


    The vast majority of tests are ordinary tests, just to deal with the Cosmic Human Alliance. Only when they see a true genius will they consider opening the Seven Star Cave.


    "But this is also our opportunity."


    "After the Seven Star Cave test is opened, the Star Lord''s twelve disciples will start paying attention. As long as you pass the seven caves, you will have the opportunity to join one of these twelve disciples," Fang Qing said.


    Fang Qing paused and continued, "Don''t underestimate these twelve disciples. The weakest among them are all sixth-rank falling stars, and the strongest two or three of them have even surpassed the sixth rank."


    "Surpassed the sixth rank." Lin Yuan''s spirit trembled slightly.


    Even surpassing the sixth rank, Lin Yuan still has a long way to gopared to them.


    ording to Lin Yuan''s estimation, to break through to the sixth rank, he would need to shuttle two or three more times, which would probably take hundreds of years.


    Of course, even so, for Lin Yuan at the moment, the sixth-rank falling star is still someone he looks up to.


    "So, during the test, you must do your best to show yourself because every move of everyone is seen by those twelve disciples."


    "Even if you don''t pass the Seven Star Cave test in the end, as long as you satisfy those twelve people, you can still join the RedKun lineage."


    Fang Qing said in a low voice.


    This information, even many falling star-level forces, did not know.


    It''s top secret among top secrets. Even when his teacher was alive, he spent a lot of effort to find out about it.


    "I see."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    He remembered it firmly.


    "After saying so much, I haven''t mentioned the content of the test yet."


    Fang Qing seemed to realize something and grinned. "In fact, the test of the Seven Star Cave is notplicated. It is divided into seven caves."


    "Each cave is a test."


    "As for the specific test content, it varies, but summarized, it is a test of the body, speed, willpower, mind, and insight."


    Fang Qing said.


    "So that''s how it is."


    Lin Yuan''s mind suddenly became clear.


    No wonder other Evolvers participating in the test would ask him which star cave was the most difficult.


    Whether Lin Yuan answered that the first star cave was the most difficult or the seventh star cave, both would be wrong.


    In fact, which star cave is the most difficult and which one is the simplest is entirely "person-dependent."


    For example, if a certain Evolver is good at speed, then the star cave testing speed would be the easiest for him.


    If a certain Evolver''s mind is the weakest, then the star cave testing the mind would be the most difficult for him.


    So the specific answer to this question is that there is no "most difficult" or "weakest."


    "However, in my opinion, what the Star Lord of RedKun values most is the Evolver''s ''insight.'' As for other aspects, such as talent, bloodline, etc., they only determine the lower limit. If you truly want to reach the pinnacle, to cross into the sixth rank and surpass it, insight is the most important."


    Fang Qing said seriously.


    Actually, this sentence was not spoken by him, but by his long-deceased "teacher."


    "That''s because the Star Lord of RedKun himself possesses the most pinnacle bloodline in the cosmic universe," Lin Yuan smiled.


    There are many rumors rted to the Star Lord of Red Kun, among which the most important one is that when the Star Lord of RedKun was at the fifth rank, he rode a battleship to explore unknown star domains and asionally discovered a.


    The creatures on this had already be extinct, and even the itself was about to be consumed.


    The reason was that this had be a breeding ground for a special life formthe Star Sea Roaming Kun.


    The Star Sea Roaming Kun is one of the most powerful special life forms in the universe, extremely rare, and reaches the sixth rank when fully grown, with a sizeparable to a normal.


    Generally, when a mature Star Sea Roaming Kun breeds offspring, it will find a suitable and inject the offspring, still in its egg, into the core of the.


    Using geothermal energy to hatch them.


    During this period, the offspring of the Star Sea Roaming Kun slowly begin to consume all the energy of the.


    By the time this Star Sea Roaming Kun is about to reach maturity, the is basically consumed.


    At that time, the Star Lord of RedKun, who was still at the fifth rank, discovered this, which was slowly being consumed by the offspring of the Star Sea Roaming Kun.


    However, it should be in the early stages of consumption, and the offspring of the Star Sea Roaming Kun only had vague consciousness and instincts.


    Realizing this, the Star Lord of RedKun immediately knew that an opportunity hade.


    In the vast universe, with countlesss, encountering a where the offspring of the Star Sea Roaming Kun is hatching is even less than one in a trillion.


    After confirming his guess, the Star Lord of RedKun immediately used the Cosmic Human Alliance''s "body-snatching" secret technique to take over the body of the offspring of the Star Sea Roaming Kun.


    This special life form is simply the darling of the cosmic universe. When it reaches adulthood, it is at the sixth rank, and it is also at the pinnacle of the sixth rank, after all, considering its size.


    Comparable to a normal, how much energy is contained within it? It is enough to make a normal sixth-rank falling star despair.


    The reason why the Star Lord of Red Kun is named "RedKun" is because his original body was a Star Sea Roaming Kun.


    Of course, after taking over the Star Sea Roaming Kun, the Star Lord of RedKun secretly cultivated for thousands of years, sessfully breaking through to the sixth rank, and then entering the seventh rank before returning to the Cosmic Human Alliance.


    Then, after being confirmed by the powerhouses of the Cosmic Human Alliance, the Star Lord of RedKun''s soul belonged to the human race, not a disguise of another race, so he sessfully established himself in the human race.


    In summary, the experience of the Star Lord of RedKun is simply like cheating.


    That is the Star Sea Roaming Kun, the most pinnacle bloodline in the cosmic universe. The lower limit is the goal that countless human races look up to for their entire lives.


    "That''s true."


    Fang Qing nodded slightly, realizing thatpared to the Star Lord of RedKun, his own experiences were nothing at all.


    "By the way, when you entered the Seven Star Cave world just now, did you change your appearance and physique?"


    Fang Qing looked at Lin Yuan, his tone concerned.


    "I did." Lin Yuan nodded.


    After hearing this prompt, Lin Yuan proactively changed his appearance. After all, it didn''t cost anything, so there was no need to ignore it.


    "That''s good."


    Fang Qing breathed a sigh of relief.


    "During the Seven Star Cave test, although we are not inpetition, it''s best not to expose our true identities."


    Fang Qing exined, "After all, the arenapetition videos will be spread around. If we happen to encounter a lunatic who harbors ill will towards us and happens to participate in the test, then it could be troublesome.


    This is a case of inviting trouble for no reason. So it''s best to change your appearance and physique. No one recognizes each other, as long as we don''t touch each other''s interests, we won''t easily make a move."


    After informing Lin Yuan of all the information about the Seven Star Cave test.


    Fang Qing didn''t ask any more questions, nor did he inquire about Lin Yuan''s appearance in the Seven Star Cave world.


    Then he got up and left.


    After all, if they knew each other''s appearance, and if Fang Qing encountered any trouble during the test, would Lin Yuan help or not?


    Fang Qing actively informed Lin Yuan of this information, which waspletely a kind of investment.


    Returning to his own manor.


    Fang Qing connected to the virtual world and appeared in his personal space.


    Swoosh.


    A palm-sized white-bearded old man appeared on Fang Qing''s shoulder.


    "Well done."


    The white-bearded old man nodded in praise.


    "Lin Yuan is very likely to be a sixth-rank falling star in the future. When he needs it, take the initiative to provide him with information. You should have made a good connection by now."


    The white-bearded old man said with satisfaction.


    The strong are solitary, yet they also gather in groups.


    In the vast and boundless universe, the most powerful entities are never individuals, but rather the various peak races such as humans, insects, and so on.


    It is precisely these races that upy the most fertile territories in the universe, continuously nurturing countless strong individuals.


    The master of the white-bearded old man, who left behind the inheritance of the ''Ancient God'' evolution path, was naturally solitary by nature. So much so that when pursued by enemies, not a single friend came forward to help.


    That''s why the white-bearded old man urged Fang Qing to make every effort to make friends with Lin Yuan.


    "I wonder how far Brother Lin can reach in the Seven Star Cave," Fang Qing said curiously.


    "If my guess is correct, with Lin Yuan''s talent, his status in the Seven Star Cave world should be a ''Golden Mark''" the white-bearded old man nced at Fang Qing.


    "Golden Mark" Fang Qing took a deep breath. Golden Mark not only represents status but also the recognition of the Star Lord of Red Kun.


    "Passing through the seven star caves shouldn''t be a problem. For Lin Yuan, the important thing is to choose which disciple of the Star Lord of Red Kun to follow" the white-bearded old man spoke.


    Even among the twelve disciples of the Star Lord of RedKun, there are differences in strength. Naturally, it''s best to join the top three, as they are entities surpassing the sixth rank.


    The remaining nine are also good, all being sixth-rank falling star level. But if forced topare, the top three are definitely better.


    Time passed.


    In the blink of an eye, twenty-four hours had passed.


    With a slight movement of his mind, Lin Yuan connected to the virtual world and appeared in the White Jade za of the Seven Star Cave world.


    At this moment, the za was scattered with numerous Evolvers.


    These Evolvers stood alone or gathered in twos and threes.


    For the vast majority of Evolvers, they were unaware of the contents of the test, so they instinctively formed groups.


    Just then, a majestic figure appeared.


    He looked down at the many Evolvers and said in a grand voice, "The time hase, I believe everyone is more or less prepared."


    "Next, I will repeat the rules of the Seven Star Cave test."


    "The Seven Star Cave test is divided into seven star caves. Your goal is to pass through these seven star caves."


    "Each person can spend up to one month in each star cave. If you fail to pass within one month, it will be considered a failure."


    "If you die during the test, it will also be considered a failure."


    After the majestic figure finished speaking, with a wave of his hand, over a million Evolvers disappeared from the White Jade za.


    At the same time.


    In a mysterious space within the Seven Star Cave world.


    Twelve figures appeared.


    These twelve figures sat in two positions.


    Three figures were above, while nine figures were below.


    In terms of aura and pressure, it was obvious that the three figures above were superior to the nine figures below.


    These twelve figures were naturally the twelve disciples of the Star Lord of RedKun.


    Every time the Seven Star Cave test begins, they would send a trace of consciousness to select their own disciples.


    ...

    Chapter 95


    "Teacher finally opened the Seven Star Cave World."


    "When was thest time Teacher opened the Seven Star Cave World?"


    "I remember it was three hundred years ago."


    The twelve figures chatted with each other, all seeming very rxed.


    Usually, they, as senior brothers, each had their own things to do, making it difficult for them to gather like this.


    "There are quite a few good talents appearing in this test, otherwise Teacher wouldn''t have opened the Seven Star Cave World."


    "I heard there is a three-eyed member of the Human Race. Senior Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, if you''re not interested, I''ll reserve this three-eyed member in advance."


    "Hehehe, the status of the three-eyed race in the Human Alliance is special. Recruiting a member of the three-eyed race is equivalent to making connections with other high-level three-eyed races. I also want topete for it."


    The twelve figures all spoke up.


    The three-eyed race is rare in number, but their talent is extremely powerful. Currently, in human civilization, the number of three-eyed race members does not exceed one hundred thousand and is scattered throughout various territories.


    Therefore, even without direct blood ties, there is a certain unique closeness between members of the three-eyed race. Just like meeting a fellow countryman in a foreignnd. With the talent of the three-eyed race, it is easy to produce high-level evolvers.


    Taking in a member of the three-eyed race is equivalent to having a rtionship with these high-level evolvers in the future, no matter what they do, they have someone to discuss it with.


    Of course, even without this rtionship, the twelve figures are also willing to ept them as disciples. After all, talent speaks for itself. With careful cultivation, a member of the three-eyed race can easily reach Rank 6.


    "I''m not interested in the three-eyed race, but I''ll take that Silver Spirit."


    At this moment, the first figure at the top spoke slowly.


    The Silver Spirit refers to that silver-haired woman, praised by the Lord of the Red Kun Star Domain for her talent in spatial matters. She is one of the three Crimson Mark and ranked first among the hundreds of thousands of evolvers this time.


    "Since Senior Brother has spoken, then she belongs to Senior Brother."


    "This Silver Spirit has considerable talent in spatial matters, and only Senior Brother has the ability to cultivate her."


    "Well said."


    The remaining eleven figuresmented.


    They then began to evaluate other evolvers.


    Among the hundreds of thousands of evolvers, only three Crimson Marks and a few Gold Marks were worth their attention. As for the rest of the evolvers, they would have to reach the Seventh Star Cave first.


    "Is this the First Star Cave?"


    Lin Yuan began to observe his surroundings.


    ording to the information provided by Fang Qing, the test content of the First Star Cave is very likely to be rted to physical aspects. Of course, it''s not absolute, but if it''s not physical, it would be soul-rted, or mental consciousness, insight, and so on.


    Swoosh.


    Just as Lin Yuan was observing, other evolvers were also transported from the White Jade Square.


    Many evolvers looked around nervously.


    The surroundings were notplicated, resembling a wilderness, with a wide ck track in the middle, stretching tens of li wide.


    When all the evolvers had arrived.


    The towering figure appeared again.


    "The test of the First Star Cave is very simple. Walk to the end of this ck track."


    The towering figure raised his hand and pointed to the ck track. "Within a month, as long as you reach the end, you can enter the Second Star Cave."


    After speaking, the towering figure disappeared.


    The scene immediately fell into a hugemotion.


    It''s not that the test is too difficult.


    But it''s too simple.


    The ck track is tens of li wide and at most a hundred li long. It meanspleting a hundred li within a month.


    Even an ordinary citizen could walk a hundred liin a day or two.


    Moreover, the lowest level here is Rank 3 evolvers.


    "Arrive at the end?"


    Lin Yuan didn''t act rashly but stood still and observed.


    He believed the test wouldn''t be that simple. In all the previous tests of the Seven Star Cave, the elimination rate of the First Star Cave was terrifyingly high.


    "Let others try first."


    Lin Yuan wasn''t in a hurry. He could stay in each cave for a month. Even if he stayed here for a month, as long as he entered the Second Star Cave at thest minute, it wouldn''t matter.


    "There should be someone who can''t hold back."


    Lin Yuan''s gaze swept around.


    In just a moment, several Silver Mark evolvers were starting to show signs of impatience.


    Among the hundreds of thousands of evolvers, the majority were Silver Mark evolvers. When Crimson Marks and Gold Marks were added together, they only totaled a little over one hundred.


    Just imagine, each Silver Markevolver is among the top ten on their respectives, towering above all. However, upon arriving in the Seven Star Cave World, they find that there are over a million such existences.


    The disparity before and after has caused a change in the mentality of some Silver Markevolvers.


    "Let''s see what this Seven Star Cave test has to offer."


    A burly man with a wild appearance stepped forward.


    The moment this burly man exuded Rank 3 aura and stepped forward, he was stared at by hundreds of thousands of evolvers.


    "Damn, the pressure is intense."


    The burly man''s forehead broke out in a cold sweat. It should be noted that the gazes of over a million individuals were all from Rank 3 to Rank 4 evolvers.


    Boom.


    Under everyone''s gaze.


    The burly man stepped onto the ck track.


    "Hmm?"


    The burly man''s expression changed slightly.


    He took another step.


    Then two steps.


    Then five steps.


    After walking for about a hundred meters.


    The burly man finally stopped.


    "It''s gravity."


    "As soon as you enter the range of the ck track, you enter a gravity zone."


    "The farther you walk, the stronger the gravity. At my current distance, I''m facing gravity about five to seven times stronger than that of a normal."


    The burly man spoke directly.


    He wasn''t lying, as other evolvers would realize as soon as they tried it.


    "A gravity zone?"


    "Is this test about physical strength?"


    "Hehe, how fortunate, physical strength happens to be my specialty."


    Countless evolvers murmured, their eyes fixed on the ck track stretching for li, each with their own thoughts.


    "Just a hundred meters and the gravity is already five to seven times stronger. In the area near the end, won''t the gravity reach thousands of times?"


    A Gold Markevolver pondered with a thoughtful expression.


    As the ck track stretches for li, the closer to the end, the stronger the gravity.


    "The gravity at the end area is at least three thousand times stronger. Just based on this, it could eliminate seventy to eighty percent of evolvers."


    Another Gold Mark evolver nced at the Silver Markevolvers around him who were eager to try and silently thought to himself.


    For Rank 3 evolvers, tens or hundreds of times gravity isn''t much of a difficulty. But once the number exceeds a thousand times, it''s a different story.


    Gravity affects the five internal organs and six viscera, down to the cellr level. If physical strength is only strong on the surface or the skin is tough, it''s basically useless against gravity.


    "So it''s a gravity test."


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    Indeed, this was a good way to test physical strength. Compared to simply testing strength and endurance, a gravity test works from the outside in, eliminating many evolvers who rely too heavily on their physical bodies.


    "But now, the farthest evolvers have only walked less than a kilometer. I''m not in a hurry. Let''s see how strong the gravity is further ahead."


    While Lin Yuan was contemting, thousands of evolvers had already voluntarily entered the ck track.


    Dozens of them had already walked seven to eight hundred meters.


    And throughmunication, it was revealed that in the seven to eight hundred meters area, gravity had already reached tens of times the normal gravity.


    Half an hourter.


    Ny percent of the evolvers had entered the ck track.


    Seeing this, Lin Yuan didn''t find anything unexpected. After confirming that the ck track only had gravity, he also walked up.


    Ten meters.


    A hundred meters.


    A kilometer.


    Ten kilometers.


    Unconsciously.


    Lin Yuan had walked over ten thousand meters.


    "I finally feel something."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Although the cultivation system in the Divine Weapon World was distorted, it was indeed good for refining the body. From refining the skin to the blood, the organs to the bones, every part of the body had been forged.


    So the gravity zone in the ck track didn''t put any pressure on Lin Yuan.


    It was only after the first ten thousand meters that Lin Yuan became slightly more serious.


    And the gravity in the first ten thousand meters area had already exceeded a thousand times.


    A thousand times gravity is enough to crush an ordinary citizen in an instant.


    Ordinary Rank 1 and Rank 2 evolvers wouldn''t survive more than a few seconds under such gravity.


    But in Lin Yuan''s eyes, it was nothing. Up until now, he had relied entirely on his physical body to withstand it, without using any means.


    Such as deploying the Tai Chi Domain.


    Or using secret techniques to temporarily enhance physical strength, and so on.


    At the twenty-thousand-meter mark on the ck track.


    "I was one of the first few evolvers to enter the track, and it took me several hours to walk half the length of the ck track."


    "At this speed, I should be among the top fifty, right?"


    Trista took a deep breath and stopped to take a break.


    As a Rank 4 evolver under a hundred years old, Trista''s strength was undisputedly the first on their.


    Whether it was in thispetition or in previous ones, it was rare to see Rank 4 evolvers.


    Like the medium-life Cann Star, it hadn''t seen a Rank 4 evolver for hundreds of thousands of years.


    Originally, Trista was quite confident. He came from a big family and was aware of the test of the Lord of the Red Kun Star Domain and the Seven Star Cave test.


    But in the end, when he was brought into the Seven Star Cave World, Trista was actually given a Silver Mark?


    The same ''Silver Mark'' as those Rank 3 evolvers? This was uneptable to Trista. He didn''t dare to hope for the highest Crimson Mark, but at least give him a Gold Mark? ording to Trista''s knowledge, all the evolvers in this Seven Star Cave test were in the Rank 3 to Rank 4 range.


    In other words, those Gold Marks and Crimson Marks are all Rank 4 evolvers like Trista.


    Being at the same Rank 4, why were they Gold Marks and Crimson Mark, while Trista was a Silver Mark?


    "The starting point doesn''t mean anything. I, Trista, will definitely pass through all seven star caves and join the lineage of the Red Kun."


    Trista steadied himself, reluctantly lifting his right foot to continue moving forward.


    Just then.


    Trista heard faint footsteps.


    "Someone''sing after me?"


    Trista looked back.


    He saw a young man walking leisurely towards him.


    If Trista hadn''t been sure about the gravity around him being over two thousand times normal, he might have thought the young man was just taking a stroll in his own garden.


    "Why is he... why is he so at ease?"


    Trista couldn''t believe it.


    To be honest, Trista was already feeling the strain. Although two thousand times gravity wasn''t his limit, it wasn''t easy either.


    "He''s a Gold Mark."


    Trista observed the hint of gold on the young man''s profile.


    "Is this the Gold Markcandidate recognized by the Star Lord?"


    Trista thought quickly.


    Regardless of other aspects, the young man''s performance meant that in terms of physical strength, he could easily surpass Trista.


    "It''s terrifying, his speed hasn''t changed from start to finish."


    Trista sighed.


    While Trista was observing Lin Yuan.


    Lin Yuan also nced at Trista.


    "I''ve seen the Gold Mark, sir."


    Trista immediately turned around, disregarding the terrifying pressure around him, and respectfully bowed to Lin Yuan.


    There was no other way.


    The test of the first star cave was to reach the ck track.


    In other words, all that was required was for the evolvers to walk across the ck track.


    There were no restrictions against attacking each other.


    Now, most of Trista''s strength was used to resist gravity.


    Seeing Lin Yuan disy such a rxed attitude, his strength probably wasn''t affected much.


    In this situation, if Trista dared to show disrespect and made Lin Yuan unhappy, he could easily sweep Trista out of thepetition.


    "This is the strength of a Gold Markcandidate."


    Trista sighed, dissolving much of his reluctance.


    "Quite polite."


    Lin Yuan just nced at Trista and continued forward.


    All the way, Lin Yuan continuously surpassed one evolver after another. Other evolvers, when they saw him, mostly showed surprise and fear, afraid that Lin Yuan would take advantage of the situation to attack them.


    Time passed.


    Soon.


    Lin Yuan entered the forty-thousand-meter area.


    The entire ck track had already been covered four-fifths of the way.


    The gravity in this area had reached four thousand times.


    "Still manageable."


    Lin Yuan''s speed remained unchanged. Up to now, he hadn''t used the Tai Chi Domain, relying solely on his physical body to resist gravity.


    Because Fang Qing had said that everything in the Seven Star Cave test would be seen by the twelve disciples of the Lord of the Red Kun Star Domain.


    Since the test of the first star cave was about physical strength, Lin Yuan chose to resist with his physical body.


    Not only could this elevate his evaluation, but at the very least, it wouldn''t decrease it.


    In the forty-thousand-meter area, there were hardly any people in sight.


    "Hmm?"


    "Someone ahead."


    After walking for a while, Lin Yuan faintly saw a figure in the mist ahead.


    At this moment, the figure seemed to be struggling, taking one step at a time, seemingly adapting.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan walked closer, catching a glimpse of the figure.


    It was a woman with green hair, exuding a certain ethereal aura.


    Furthermore, she was also a candidate for the Gold Marktest.


    "Hello."


    The green-haired woman saw Lin Yuan looking at her, and a trace of nervousness appeared on her face.


    Even though the gravity was over four thousand times, she hadn''t revealed her trump card yet. But Lin Yuan''s condition was obviously better than hers. If he suddenly made a move, it would be troublesome.


    In other ces, if you couldn''t win, you could still run.


    But in the ck track, under thousands of times gravity, your speed was reduced to the extreme.


    "Hello."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    Continuing to maintain his speed, he walked towards the finish line.


    Seeing this scene, the green-haired woman visibly breathed a sigh of relief.


    Several hourster.


    Lin Yuan sessfullypleted the hundred-li track and arrived at the second star cave.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan looked around.

    This seems to be inside a cosmic battleship, where the walls in all directions are made of silver-white alloy.


    And not far away, there is a huge transparent passage.


    "What does this star cave test?"


    Lin Yuan looked to the side, where a huge metal screen was erected, disying the test content.


    "Objective: Pass through the transparent passage."


    "Hint 1: The transparent passage is covered bysers every ten seconds."


    "Hint 2: The total length of the transparent passage is forty thousand meters."


    "Is the test about speed or defense?"


    Lin Yuan stared at the metal screen, lost in thought.


    ording to the test rules, there are two ways to pass.


    One is to pass through the transparent passage before it gets covered bysers.


    Thesers cover it every ten seconds, and the transparent passage is forty thousand meters long.


    In other words, as long as your speed exceeds four thousand meters per second, you can pass smoothly.


    Four thousand meters per second is roughly equivalent to several times the speed of sound.


    This tests one''s speed.


    The other way is if your speed is not fast, but your body''s defense can withstand thesers covering it every ten seconds.


    Then passing through this star cave is also simple.


    This tests one''s defense.


    "Let''s see how others do it."


    Lin Yuan wasn''t sure if there would be other obstacles in the middle of the passage, so he decided to wait for a while.


    With that in mind, Lin Yuan nced at other evolvers nearby.


    In the first star cave test, although Lin Yuan entered half an hourter, his speed through the hundred-li ck track was not slow.


    There was basically no rest along the way, so there weren''t many evolvers ahead of Lin Yuan entering the second star cave.


    Just about fifty or sixty at a nce.


    These fifty or sixty evolvers are all Gold Mark evolvers.


    Among them, three are even Crimson Mark.


    "Crimson Mark?"


    Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze.


    In the world of the Seven Star Caves, evolvers are divided into three ranks.


    Crimson Mark, Gold Mark, Silver Mark.


    This is based on some standard established by the Star Lord of Red Kun Star Domain.


    In the first star cave, there were over a million evolvers, and Lin Yuan only noticed a few Gold Mark ones, as for the Crimson Mark ones, he didn''t see any.


    Now in the second star cave, there are far fewer evolvers, and even fewer ahead of Lin Yuan.


    "The universe is vast, and the number of human beings is countless. Under such a huge base, there are definitely not a few geniuses, freaks, and monsters born."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    In thispetition, although Lin Yuan didn''t show all his cards, he still revealed most of his strength.


    Even so, in the eyes of the Star Lord of Red Kun Star Domain, he was only a Gold Mark evolver.


    It can be spected that the potential of Crimson Mark evolvers above Gold Mark ones must far exceed Lin Yuan''s.


    However, Lin Yuan didn''t underestimate himself. Whether it''s the Gate of the Myriad Realms or the Unrivaled Insight, they are both talents forter use.


    They will be more powerful as time goes on.


    Right now, Lin Yuan may not be as strong as those three Crimson Mark evolvers, but given a few more years, who''s stronger and who''s weaker is not certain.


    The three Crimson Mark evolvers are a silver-haired woman, a man with a line of blood running down his forehead, and a burly man nearly three meters tall, carrying a huge axe on his back.


    These three Crimson Mark evolvers each stood in a corner, with no other evolvers around.


    In a mysterious space on a certain level of the Seven Star Caves.


    Twelve figures were leisurely watching the star cave area below.


    Since no one has reached the third star cave yet, everyone''s attention is focused on the second star cave.


    "Another Gold Mark challenger has arrived."


    "This Gold Mark challenger should be called Lin Yuan, right? He has someprehension of the Yin-Yang rules?"


    The gazes of the figures all fell on Lin Yuan.


    As disciples of the Star Lord, these twelve individuals are not very interested in ordinary Silver Mark challengers.


    Because the probability of Silver Mark challengers passing through the seven star caves is not great, and since they are categorized as Silver Mark, they are obviously weaker in potential.


    Of course, in the vast universe, there are also those who start mediocre butter skyrocket.


    But the probability is too small. Most of them are slow step by step.


    If you can''t even keep up with others in front of you, do you dare to think about surpassing themter?


    However, they will still take more notice of Gold Mark challengers. Challengers of this level are all outstanding talents.


    Within the Dawn Gxy''s 120,000 life-bearings, there are only a little over a hundred Gold Mark challengers, roughly one per thousand life-bearings.


    "Kawu, yourprehension of the rules of light is somewhat simr to this Lin Yuan. Do you want to ept him early?"


    A deep voice from a figure inquired.


    "I''ll think about it."


    Kawuis the tenth disciple of the Star lord, having recently reached the sixth rank. Naturally, he didn''t dare to participate in selecting disciples when faced with several figures before him.


    However, selecting disciples is quite important.


    It''s not just about epting a disciple; you also need to guide them personally and n their future cultivation path ording to their evolutionary path.


    So Kawuis quite cautious; he''d rather not participate in selection than pick someone randomly.


    "Let''s wait until the fourth and seventh star caves."


    After observing for a while, Kawuspoke.


    In the Seven Star Caves test, the fourth and seventh star caves are the most special.


    They are neither too difficult nor too easy.


    Because these two star caves test one''s own insight.


    Kawu nned to observe Lin Yuan''s insight before making a decision.


    Second star cave.


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts echoed those of other Gold Mark challengers.


    Even those three Crimson Mark evolvers didn''t immediately choose to enter the transparent passage.


    Instead, they patiently waited for other evolvers to go first.


    Time passed.


    More and more evolvers passed through the first star cave to reach the second star cave.


    Among them were Trista, whom Lin Yuan encountered on the track, and the Gold Mark green-haired woman.


    "If you won''t go, then I''ll go first."


    A skinny man stepped forward and entered the transparent passage.


    Since he dared to be the first, the skinny man must have confidence.


    His eyes slightly turned bloody, and he resembled a meteor as he rushed into the transparent passage.


    Boom!


    The terrifying sound of air tearing apart echoed in all directions.


    "At least fourteen times the speed of sound."


    Lin Yuan observed carefully.


    At his speed, under an eruption, he was faster than that skinny man.


    He just wasn''t sure if there were any variables inside the transparent passage, which is why he hadn''t moved yet.


    Most of the evolvers on the field also had this thought.


    Buzz!


    Just as Lin Yuan was carefully observing.


    [Your insight is unrivaled, witnessing creatures exerting full force, youprehend the ''Blood Burning Technique''.]


    "Hmm?" A wealth of information about the ''Blood Burning Technique'' flooded Lin Yuan''s mind.


    This secret technique involves burning one''s own essence and blood through a special method to greatly increase one''s speed.


    The skinny man who entered the transparent passage first definitely used this technique to increase his speed and improve his chances of passing through.


    "Not bad."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    Although within the Dragon and Tiger World, Lin Yuan hadprehended simr demonic techniques to the ''Blood Burning Technique''.


    However, whether it''s the efficiency of using essence and blood or the hidden dangers after use, they are far inferior to the ''Blood Burning Technique'' he has justprehended now.


    Swish.


    Under the gaze of many evolvers.


    At the ninth second, the skinny man passed through the transparent passage and disappeared into the second star cave.


    "There are no other variables."


    The remaining evolvers on the field immediately understood.


    Next.


    Many evolvers started to rush into the transparent passage.


    A strong evolver, whose speed wasn''t enough, wanted to try to resist the sers''.


    After all, for a fourth-rank evolver, even withoutprehending the rules, relying on a powerful physique alone could withstand the majority ofser weapons.


    But just for an instant.


    This strong evolver turned into nothingness under the coverage of thesers.


    This scene made all the remaining evolvers realize


    The test of the second star cave is about speed.


    Without sufficient speed, even the strongest defense cannot withstand the coverage of thesers.


    "So many."


    Each evolver used all their means, exerting all their efforts to dash within the transparent passage, which troubled Lin Yuan.


    Under the unrivaled insight, countlessprehensions surged into his mind, and many rare techniques and evolutionary methods were quickly absorbed by Lin Yuan.


    In the world of the Seven Star Caves, these evolvers may not have the same talent and insight as Lin Yuan, but what they practice is definitely the most elite part of each star''s evolutionary path.


    Swoosh.


    Just then.


    The silver-haired woman appeared before the transparent passage.


    This scene made all the evolvers slightly surprised.


    Many evolvers who had just nned to enter the transparent passage stopped in their tracks, not daring to enter with the silver-haired woman.


    Because this silver-haired woman is one of the three Crimson Mark evolvers.


    Crimson Mark evolvers are those recognized by the Red Kun Star Lord for their aptitude.


    Even though most evolvers don''t know how terrifying Crimson Mark evolvers are, it''s impossible to offend or interfere with them.


    With the aptitude of a crimson pattern, even if they don''t pass the Seven Star Caves test, they will still be admitted into the RedKun lineage afterwards.


    It''s like being "guaranteed."


    "It''s her."


    Lin Yuan also looked towards the silver-haired woman, his face revealing an expectant expression.


    He wanted to know how this Crimson Mark challenger managed to pass through the transparent passage.


    Unlike other evolvers who revere her, Lin Yuan could actually benefit from this silver-haired woman.


    Buzz! The silver-haired woman took just one step.


    Her figure disappeared from its original position, appearing a hundred meters away.


    In the next moment.


    The silver-haired woman vanished again.


    Another hundred meters.


    In just four seconds.


    The silver-haired woman passed through the transparent passage, which spans a distance of forty thousand meters.


    The numerous evolvers were dumbfounded, and then they began to mor.


    This scene was too unbelievable; crossing forty thousand meters in four seconds already reached a speed dozens of times that of sound.


    Even more incredible was that the silver-haired woman never emitted any ''sonic booms'' throughout.


    "This is spatial."


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes.


    [Your insight is unrivaled, observing spatial traversal, deepening yourprehension of space.]


    Compared to when he observed the spatial rift in the Divine Weapon World, which erupted with irregr spatial forces.


    The spatial traversal disyed by the silver-haired woman was orderly, making it easier for Lin Yuan toprehend.


    "Space."


    Lin Yuan directly disconnected from the virtual world and returned to reality.


    During the Seven Star Caves test, it was allowed to quit midway. Of course, the time passing in the real world was synchronized with that of the Seven Star Caves world.


    If one stayed in the real world for a month, a month would pass in the Seven Star Caves world as well.


    If one didn''t pass through to the next star cave and exceeded the stay time, they would naturally be eliminated.


    "Space."


    Silver shimmer faintly appeared in Lin Yuan''s eyes.


    Shortly after, a vast Tai Chi shadow, tinged with silver, emerged.


    The Tao of Tai Chi, based on Yin and Yang, epassing all things.


    In the Divine Weapon World, Lin Yuanprehended many divine weapons and gained insight into many rules, but none conflicted with the Yin-Yang Tai Chi Tao, precisely because of its inclusive nature.


    Now, witnessing the silver-haired woman''s spatial traversal, Lin Yuan''sprehension of space reached a certain level, causing a transformation in the Tai Chi Tao, which was only natural.


    "Fourth rank, tenth stage."


    After a moment, Lin Yuan stood up, and a slight leap in his aura was observed.


    From the fourth rank ninth stage to the tenth stage, although not a major breakthrough, it was still a high-level bottleneck.


    Originally, Lin Yuan estimated that he would need several years to cross it, but he unexpectedly advanced much earlier.


    It should be noted that Lin Yuan''s breakthrough is different from other evolvers''.


    For other evolvers, they follow an established evolutionary path to reach the next stage.


    But Lin Yuan, he doesn''t even have a next stage; each step he takes is from nothing to something, forged from scratch.


    "It seems that the rules of space are very useful for further perfecting the Tao of Tai Chi."


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    By the time one reaches the third or fourth rank, they can vaguely sense the vast rules between heaven and earth.


    But sensing is one thing, whether one canprehend it is another.


    Even with his unrivaled insight, Lin Yuan''s progress was still slow. If he hadn''t watched that silver-haired woman just now, he might have been stuck at the ninth stage of the fourth rank for some time.


    "The best way toprehend a certain rule is to study the evolutionary paths rted to that rule."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Evolutionary paths are equivalent to analyzing profound and obscure rules in a way that you can understand.


    However, evolutionary paths rted to space are extremely rare and expensive, which made Lin Yuan hesitate.


    Lin Yuan wants to pass the Seven Star Caves test and join the Red Kun lineage, also hoping to gain more ess to various evolutionary paths.


    The Red Kun lineage, as the most powerful force in the Red Kun Star Domain, definitely has its own talent cultivation system independent of the outside world.


    Joining them would surely greatly elerate Lin Yuan''s growth.


    Certainly, with Lin Yuan''s unrivaled insight, even without joining a force, he could still grow to a very high level.


    But how much time would that require?


    Especially as one''s strength increases, the more resources Lin Yuan would need.


    Without a major force supporting him, does Lin Yuan have to earn them all by himself?


    Swish.


    After a moment.


    Lin Yuan reconnected to the virtual world.


    His figure once again appeared in the second star cave.


    From the fourth rank ninth stage to the tenth stage.


    Not much time had passed.


    When Lin Yuan returned, the other evolvers were still discussing the matter of the silver-haired woman.


    Seeing this scene.


    Lin Yuan nced at the other two Crimson Mark evolvers.


    That is, the man with a bloodline mark on his forehead.


    And the sturdy man nearly three meters tall.


    The silver-haired woman had elevated his understanding of space by a notch.


    So, wouldn''t these two Crimson Mark evolvers also be of some help to him?


    ...


    I need POWAAAA :D

    Chapter 97


    Swish swish swish.


    Many evolvers entered the transparent passage one after another.


    However, Lin Yuan didn''t go in; instead, he intended to watch for a while longer. After all, opportunities like this were rare, with so many evolvers exerting their full power at once.


    Just then, a towering man nearly three meters tall approached the transparent passage. His limbs were incredibly thick, and he carried a huge axe on his back, resembling a humanoid beast.


    Boom boom boom! With a powerful stomp, the towering man unleashed terrifying strength and charged towards the transparent passage.


    "Terrifying." "Is this immense power really human?" "Aren''t those space monsters or beasts?"


    Other evolvers were amazed and stepped back. Even the residual shockwaves from the towering man''s burst of strength could probably harm an ordinary third-rank evolver.


    "Strength."


    Lin Yuan''s gaze grew serious. He sensed countless power emanating from the towering man.


    [Your Unrivaled Insight into the rules of strength is gradually deepening.]


    "The rules of strength?" Lin Yuan pondered. Compared to the ubiquitous rules of space, the rules of strength were much more ordinary.


    However, the towering man seemed to have a profound understanding of the rules of strength, which might be why he was designated as one of the three Crimson Mark Evolvers.


    "I really want to have close contact with these evolvers." Lin Yuan longed for it. While other evolvers looked up to Crimson Mark Evolvers, for Lin Yuan, each Crimson MarkEvolver was like a treasure waiting to be discovered.


    "There will be more opportunities in the future."


    "As long as I can smoothly enter the Red Kun lineage, why worry about not having opportunities for contact?"


    Lin Yuan collected his thoughts. Soon, the man with a bloodline marking on his forehead also passed through the transparent passage.


    "Wind?" Lin Yuan looked thoughtful. He sensed the fluctuations of wind from the man with the bloodline marking on his forehead. His speed through the passage was second only to the silver-haired woman, much faster than the towering man.


    After several hours, Lin Yuan had seen enough. Although other evolvers continued to arrive from the first star cave, their contributions to Lin Yuan were minimal. It was better than nothing, but not by much. Therefore, Lin Yuan didn''t want to waste any more time.


    Just as Lin Yuan was about to get up, another evolver appeared. This evolver was a young man who gave Lin Yuan an inexplicable sense of familiarity.


    "Fang Qing?" Lin Yuan recognized him immediately. It was because Lin Yuan had sparred with him many times in order to betterprehend the Ancient God evolution path. So even though Fang Qing had changed his appearance, Lin Yuan still recognized him at a nce.


    "Finally made it through." Fang Qing arrived at the second star cave and breathed a sigh of relief. The gravity test of the first star cave had caused him quite a bit of trouble, and in the end, he had to resort to the secret technique of the Ancient God to barely finish thest stretch of the track.


    "So this star cave tests speed?" Fang Qing also saw other evolvers passing through the transparent passage, learning about the test''s content.


    "Speed?"


    "Reaching the end of a forty-thousand-meter passage in ten seconds?"


    Fang Qing''s expression changed slightly. This equated to more than ten times the speed of sound. While it might not be difficult for a fourth-rank evolver, Fang Qing was only a third-rank evolver now.


    "No, I can''t do it."


    "I need to ask my teacher."


    Fang Qing severed the connection to the virtual world directly. Only the test-takers could enter the Seven Star Cave world; others were blocked from entering. The white-bearded old man was an intelligent life form and couldn''t enter either.


    Fang Qing wanted to contact the white-bearded old man, so he had to exit the Seven Star Cave world first.


    Seeing Fang Qing disappear, Lin Yuan immediately understood that he must have gone to "seek assistance."


    "It shouldn''t be a problem."


    Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, feeling that Fang Qing should be able to pass through the second star cave.


    Compared to the first star cave, the test in the second star cave could even be considered simpler. After all, to pass the first star cave, one had to endure andplete a hundred-mile track.


    Although there might be some clever ways, such as using other secret techniques to reduce the pressure of gravity, ultimately, one still had toplete the hundred-mile track.


    On the other hand, the test in the second star cave was simply to reach the end of a forty-thousand-meter passage within ten seconds. This provided a lot of flexibility and room for many forbidden techniques.


    After all, it only required ten seconds, so even if there were great risks associated with forbidden techniques, sustaining them for ten seconds was not an issue.


    At present, everyone was in a virtual world, and their bodies were simted. Even if they paid a great price, they could easily recover.


    Fang Qing only needed to choose a forbidden technique that squeezed his potential, and even as a third-rank evolver, he had a chance to pass through the second star cave.


    After some thought, Lin Yuan took a step forward.


    "It''s a Golden Mark."


    "Greetings, Lord Golden Mark."


    "You first, Lord Golden Mark."


    The other evolvers who were watching at the entrance of the passage immediately spoke respectfully.


    For ordinary Silver Mark evolvers, there was no difference between Crimson Markand Golden Mark. After all, they were both unreachable figures, and meeting any of them required respectful salutations.


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly and stepped into the transparent passage.


    Boom!!


    Almost in an instant, Lin Yuan crossed thousands of meters. In the forty-thousand-meter transparent passage, Lin Yuan took less than seven seconds to reach the end. It was only after Lin Yuan reached the finish line that the terrifying sonic boom sounded.


    At the entrance of the passage, dozens of evolvers swallowed nervously.


    "This Lord Golden Mark is also too fast."


    "Yes, it feels like he''s faster than the other Lord Golden Mark we''ve seen."


    "It''s terrifying. But if this Lord Golden Mark is so powerful, why did it take him until now toe and challenge the second star cave?"


    "Keep your voices down. We can''t discuss Lord Golden Mark like this."


    Dozens of evolvers lowered their voices. They still hadn''t managed to pass the second star cave, and the result was that Lin Yuan had passed with unparalleled ease. This contrast made them feelplex emotions of awe and disappointment.


    Once upon a time, they were all peerless geniuses on their respectives.


    The third star cave.


    This was set against the backdrop of outer space.


    Lin Yuan felt the gravity disappear as soon as he appeared. His whole body seemed to be floating.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan''s mind moved slightly, and his body naturally descended.


    "Outer space?"


    Lin Yuan looked around. It was just a simtion of outer space environment. As for various radiations, they were absent.


    "The test of this star cave is... reaction speed?"


    Lin Yuan looked at the stone tablet beside him, which described the test content of this star cave.


    Safely pass through the ''asteroid belt'' stretching thousands of miles ahead.


    Within the asteroid belt, countless asteroids floated. As long as one was touched by an asteroid, they would be eliminated.


    Lin Yuan looked up at the vast and majestic asteroid belt in the distance. This test was actually not difficult. The main challenge was how to adapt to the outer space environment.


    To be precise, it was adapting to the zero gravity environment. For third and fourth-rank evolvers, most of their time was spent ons. Suddenly finding themselves in such a weightless environment would definitely affect their strength.


    In such a state, entering the asteroid belt, facing the sky filled with countless asteroids, even a slightly slower reaction would result in elimination.


    It should be noted that the elimination rule of this star cave was not death by asteroid collision, but being touched by an asteroid.


    "But for me, it''s just too simple."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face. For Lin Yuan, who possessed the Tai Chi domain, this level was simply a giveaway.


    Zero-gravity environment? Within the domain, Lin Yuan was a god, capable of instantly simting gravity. Moreover, with the Tai Chi domain, Lin Yuan could anticipate the situation of countless asteroids within the asteroid belt in advance, and make judgments ahead of time whether to avoid them or change routes.


    In fact, as long as one mastered the domain, passing through the third star cave was easy.


    There was basically no difficulty...


    But... not all evolvers could master the domain.


    Fourth and fifth-rank evolvers had the potential to master the domain, but most evolvers at this level still did not possess it.


    Several hourster.


    Lin Yuan sessfully passed through the third star cave and arrived at the fourth star cave.


    "Thatst wave of meteorites, tsk tsk."


    Lin Yuan''s mind shed back to the scene just now.


    Endless meteorites surged relentlessly.


    If it weren''t for Lin Yuan''s mastery of the domain, other evolvers, even Golden Markevolvers, would have a good chance of being eliminated.


    However, Lin Yuan also knew that thest wave of meteorites waspletely random, even a low-probability event. Encountering it was simply a matter of bad luck.


    "The fourth star cave."


    Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.


    Most of the Seven Star Cave tests had passed.


    "Here."


    Lin Yuan looked around and found himself inside a pce.


    Statues several meters high stood neatly, and evolvers sat beneath them, frowning in contemtion.


    Among these evolvers were the three Crimson Markevolvers.


    All the evolvers who had walked in front of Lin Yuan had stopped at this star cave.


    "The test of this star cave is..."


    Lin Yuan looked at the stone tablet nearby.


    "The test of insight." (Hehe)


    "The examiner can choose a statue. As long as theyprehend the secrets contained in the statue, they can pass the test."


    "The test of insight?" Lin Yuan''s gaze swept over each statue.


    He found that all the statues were exactly the same, and they contained the same secrets.


    "It seems quite difficult."


    Lin Yuan nced again at the three Crimson Markevolvers.


    The silver-haired woman.


    The man with a bloodline mark on his forehead.


    The muscr man nearly three meters tall.


    At this moment, these three were sitting in front of the statues, lost in thought.


    Especially the muscr man with the giant axe on his back. Lin Yuan had a feeling that if it weren''t for fear, this man might smash the statues out of frustration.


    In the mysterious space of the Seven Star Cave, twelve figures focused on the fourth star cave.


    Although the difficulty of the seven tests in the Seven Star Cave varied from person to person, the fourth and seventh star caves tested the same thing.


    Insight.


    "I wonder who will be the first to pass the fourth star cave."


    "It should be Silver Spirit. She was the first to enter the fourth star cave, and her contemtion time was the longest. Her insight is not bad either."


    "Indeed."


    "Silver Spirit should be the first among the three Crimson Markgeniuses to pass the test."


    "I can''t determine who the first one is, but thest one must be that ''Brute Strength.''"


    The twelve figures exchanged words with each other.


    Brute Strength referred to the muscr man nearly three meters tall. He followed the path of the rule of strength and was best at overwhelming everything with pure force. As for things that required spending a lot of time toprehend, he found them troublesome.


    So the twelve figures unanimously believed that Brute Strength would be thest among the three Crimson Markgeniuses to pass the fourth star cave test.


    "Hahaha, indeed."


    "Actually, I think that Three-Eyed race has a chance to be the first to pass the test."


    "After all, the third eye of the Three-Eyed race can see things that ordinary creatures cannot."


    The twelve figures conversed with each other.


    Their gazes were all focused on the three Crimson Markgeniuses.


    As for others, even if they were Golden Mark geniuses, spending ten days or half a month to pass this star cave test would be the limit. How could theypare to Crimson Markgeniuses?


    "This statue will do."


    Lin Yuan walked to a secluded corner and chose a statue.


    To ensure fairness, each statue in the pce was identical, and they contained the same secrets.


    "It''s you."


    Under a nearby statue, a figure sat cross-legged.


    Her hair was green, emitting a certain ethereal aura.


    She was the green-haired Golden Mark evolver that Lin Yuan encountered in the hundred-mile track of the first star cave.


    "Just sit under the statue and contemte."


    Seeing Lin Yuan, the Green-haired woman blinked and reminded him.


    She had a good impression of Lin Yuan. At that time, on the hundred-mile track, Lin Yuan did not attack her, indicating that he was not difficult to get along with.


    "Okay."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    He sat under the statue he had chosen.


    Then he looked up and gazed at the statue in front of him.


    After a moment.


    Lin Yuan vaguely felt that the statue in front of him had changed.


    It was no longer just a few meters high but had turned into a towering mountain, reaching to the heavens and the earth.


    [Your insight is extraordinary. By gazing at the unknown statue, you haveprehended the ''Mountain'' secret technique]


    Boom.


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts returned, and countless insights poured into his mind, forming a special secret technique.


    This secret technique could stabilize one''s spirit and energy, standing firm like a mountain in the world, unmoving.


    "Is this secret technique a kind of solid foundation?"


    Lin Yuan quickly thought to himself.


    Within the Cosmic Human Alliance, there were countless paths of evolution as vast as the sea. Each path of evolution had different cultivation conditions, but without exception, the more solid one''s foundation, the easier it was to cultivate and evolve.


    Buzz. The ''Mountain'' secret technique operated within Lin Yuan''s body.


    Vaguely, Lin Yuan''s blood and energy sank, his spirit condensed, and he sat there like a small mountain peak.


    It seemed that the statue in front of him sensed Lin Yuan''s changes.


    Suddenly, the statue began to glow.


    A beam of light descended from the sky, and Lin Yuan disappeared instantly.


    Lin Yuan''s departure was not quiet.


    The other evolvers around, who were contemting the statues, immediately opened their eyes and looked at the position where Lin Yuan had just been sitting in astonishment.


    Even the Silver-haired woman who had already contemted most of the statues looked up at this moment.


    In the mysterious space of the Seven Star Cave, in a certainyer.


    The twelve figures, whether the three above or the nine below, stopped their banter at the same time. Their gazes shifted away from the fourth star cave and focused on Lin Yuan, who had already entered the fifth star cave.


    ...


    I need POWAAAA :D

    Chapter 98


    "Already?!"


    Twelve figures were somewhat astonished.


    Although the ''Mountain'' secret technique was considered the introductory secret technique of the Red Kun lineage.


    But understanding it thoroughly was no easy task.


    Especially for third and fourth rank Evolvers.


    But how long did Lin Yuan take?


    Half an hour?


    To be precise.


    It was twenty-three minutes.


    At least, all twelve figures were sixth-rank Fallen Star Evolvers, possessing formidable consciousness.


    Upon a brief recollection, it was confirmed that Lin Yuan took 23 minutes from the moment he sat down to when he was transported to the Fifth Star Cave.


    "I didn''t expect this Golden Mark to have such formidable insight."


    "Indeed, the performance in the first three star caves was average, but suddenly in the fourth star cave, he surged ahead, leaving the three Crimson Marks behind."


    "Kawu, how do you feel now, any regrets?"


    Among the nine figures below, one of them teased.


    Kawu frowned.


    He had noticed Lin Yuan since the second star cave.


    Lin Yuan''sprehension of the Yin-Yang attribute rules ovepped with his light rules in certain areas.


    Some senior brothers suggested he take Lin Yuan as a disciple.


    But at the time, Kawu thought that taking on a disciple was not just a matter of talk. He intended to observe Lin Yuan''s subsequent performance.


    Now he had indeed seen Lin Yuan''s performance.


    But...


    "What a pity."


    Kawu sighed inwardly.


    Toprehend the ''Mountain'' secret technique in twenty-three minutes, aside from anything else, in terms of insight alone, he was definitely the strongest among all the candidates in this Seven-Star Cave.


    Even the three Crimson Marks couldn''tpare.


    But now that he knew about it, other senior brothers knew about it too.


    If he had spoken up to take Lin Yuan as his disciple back in the second star cave, the other senior brothers wouldn''t have contested. After all, Lin Yuan''s performance at the time was just average, in line with the normal level of a Golden Mark.


    There were over a hundred Golden Marks, enough for the twelve of them to each have one. If Kawu wanted an ordinary Golden Mark, none of the senior brothers would object.


    It''s just now...


    Kawu nced at the three figures above.


    He could feel that these three senior brothers who surpassed the sixth rank were also interested now.


    With this, hepletely lost hope.


    The three figures above were also observing Lin Yuan.


    Compared to the nine figures below, these three figures were much calmer.


    As beings who surpassed the sixth rank, these three figures were well aware that insight was difficult to measure concretelypared to other aspects such as bloodline, physique, strength, and so on.


    The simplest example was that some Evolvers had strong insights into wind rules but were exceptionally ordinary in other rules.


    "Golden Mark Lin Yuan, hails from the Dawn Gxy''s medium-sized life, Cann Star, born into an ordinary family, twenty years old."


    The three figures began to peruse the information about Lin Yuan.


    Most of what they could find was public information, while deeper-level information... indicated insufficient permissions.


    "Not enough permissions?"


    "Is he secretly monitored by the three Goddesses?"


    "It seems his background is fine; with the attention of the Goddesses, he definitely wouldn''t be an alien in disguise."


    The three figures weren''t particrly surprised. At their level, they naturally knew that within the Cosmic Alliance, the three Goddesses also evaluated every citizen.


    If a citizen had something special about them, it would catch the eyes of the three Goddesses.


    Although the three Goddesses wouldn''t directly offer help, they would also intentionally block information about them.


    Indeed, blocking information would attract the attention of those who were interested.


    For instance, if everyone else didn''t block information but he did, wouldn''t it be self-exnatory?


    But it must be understood that the criteria for the three Goddesses to judge exceptional talent were not only in the field of evolution but also in humanities, sciences, gastronomy, and so on.


    And the blocking of information was not permanent. For example, after a period of time, if the three Goddesses felt that you were no longer an exceptional talent, they would also lift the blockade.


    By probability, on every, there would be one or two citizens whose information had been blocked by the three Goddesses.


    This prevented strong aliens from specifically targeting citizens whose information had been blocked for assassination.


    After all, you wouldn''t know who exactly you were assassinating.


    For the aliens to spend countless costs and sacrifice many important pawns just to kill an expert in... gastronomy?


    "Regardless of whether he had any extraordinary experiences, just byprehending the ''Mountain'' secret technique in twenty-three minutes, his insight is definitely not low. Now it''s all about his performance in the Seventh Star Cave."


    The three figures conversed among themselves.


    As far as they were concerned, so-called extraordinary experiences were quite normal. Among the candidates who entered the Seven-Star Cave world, even the lowest-ranked Silver Marks, who hadn''t had any extraordinary experiences?


    "Indeed, the test of insight in the fourth star cave was just a rough direction, but the test in the Seventh Star Cave will determine whether he''s suitable for our Red Kun lineage."


    The three figures looked at Lin Yuan with satisfaction.


    They had even decided that even if Lin Yuan''s insight wasn''t suitable forprehending many secrets of the Red Kun lineage, they would take him under their wing.


    After all, Lin Yuan''s terrifying feat ofprehending the ''Mountain'' secret technique in twenty-three minutes was too incredible. If he wasn''t suitable for the Red Kun lineage, they would collect the cultivation techniques of other powers and try them out one by one.


    In any case, such a genius couldn''t be allowed to slip away.


    Fourth Star Cave.


    All the Evolvers who were contemting the statues were suddenly in an uproar.


    When Lin Yuan left, the statues emitted light, and a column of light appeared.


    This was clearly not a normal ''disconnection''.


    But rather the characteristic of passing the test.


    In less than half an hour, he passed the test.


    Many examinees felt as if they had lived on a pig''s back.


    "My teacher said my talent is the strongest he has ever seen, but it''s also because of this that I need to join a more powerful force."


    In the distance, a silver-haired woman thought silently to herself.


    "Joining a powerful force is not only to gain a higher tform but also to meet other geniuses. This way, I can avoid arrogance and continue to progress."


    The silver-haired woman breathed a sigh of relief.


    At this moment, she deeply understood that what her teacher said was right.


    Seeing Lin Yuan pass the fourth star cave test in much less time than her immediately ignited a drive within the silver-haired woman.


    "I''m almost there."


    "Just a little bit more."


    The silver-haired woman looked again at the statue in front of her, immersing herself in deep contemtion.


    "I really want to smash this statue with an axe." The burly man, nearly three meters tall, was feeling somewhat restless.


    Originally, he was already feeling a bit anxious while contemting. Seeing someone pass the test now only added to it.


    Especially since the person who passed the test was not one of the other two Crimson Mark but a Golden Markthat he hadn''t paid much attention to.


    "I, of the Three-Eyed n, am naturally adept at contemtion. I didn''t expect someone to beat me to it."


    A man with a blood-colored line on his forehead thought to himself.


    "But I''m almost there too."


    The man with the bloodline on his forehead looked up at the statue, and the bloodline on his forehead seemed to slowly spread out.


    Fifth Star Cave.


    Lin Yuan appeared here.


    "Directly transported to the fifth star cave."


    Lin Yuan felt a bit regretful.


    Originally, he had nned not to leave immediately afterprehending the ''Mountain'' secret technique but to stay in the fourth star cave and see what other statues couldprehend.


    Although all the statues were identical, theoretically, for the sake of fairness, the secrets they contained were also identical, but what if?


    "The secrets of the ''Mountain'' technique are truly unique."


    After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan began to carefully sense the changes in his body.


    When he activated the ''Mountain'' secret technique, his qi and blood condensed, and he felt like a towering mountain, immovable.


    Lin Yuan could feel that his physique and flesh were slowly improving.


    Although the extent was almost imperceptible, it was indeed a real improvement.


    After a moment.


    Lin Yuan began to look around.


    "The fifth star cave."


    ording to the information given by Fang Qing, the tests of the first three star caves were about the physical body.


    Whether it was the gravity of the first star cave, the speed of the second star cave, or the reaction force of the third star cave, they were all targeted at the physical body.


    After the fourth star cave, the tests in the fifth star cave, and the sixth star cave, were about the soul.


    "The test of this star cave: follow the mountain path to the top of the mountain to pass."


    "Hint: There is no danger to life in this star cave test."


    "To reach the top of the mountain." Lin Yuan looked up and saw a mountain peak not far away.


    The mountain peak was about a hundred meters high, and at the foot of the mountain was a narrow mountain path entrance.


    Lin Yuan''s expression became slightly solemn.


    Even without thinking, he knew that it wouldn''t be so simple to climb the mountain.


    "No danger to life."


    Lin Yuan nced at the hint tablet again.


    In the rules of the Seven-Star Cave test, there were two premises for elimination.


    One was staying in a certain star cave world for more than a month.


    The other was death.


    "Let''s try climbing the mountain first."


    Lin Yuan arrived at the foot of the mountain, paused for a moment, and stepped onto the mountain path with his right foot.


    Buzz!!


    An invisible force suddenly descended.


    Inside his Niwan Pce. (Mind Pce or Soul Depository, basically it''s where the soul resides)


    The ck and white Tai Chi forces began to tremble violently.


    This sudden force, ignoring Lin Yuan''s many defenses, directly attacked his soul.


    Boom boom boom.


    The ck and white Tai Chi millstone slowly began to turn.


    Soon, it crushed the invisible force.


    "This... is a soul attack?"


    Lin Yuan suddenly realized.


    He understood the content of this star cave test.


    It was soul defense.


    At each step, one would experience a soul attack.


    If one endured it, they could step onto the next step.


    If one couldn''t withstand it, they would briefly fall into a state of consciousness and roll down from the steps.


    Lin Yuan finally understood why it was said that there was no danger to life in this star cave.


    With the physical strength of a third or fourth rank Evolver, even if one rolled down from the mountain top, there wouldn''t be any injuries.


    Of course, during the climb, none of the soul defense weapons could be used.


    This included Lin Yuan''s Soul Calming Bell.


    Just as Lin Yuan was contemting.


    Another wave of soul attacks descended.


    Buzz buzz buzz.


    Inside his Niwan Pce.


    The ck and white Tai Chi millstone began to turn slowly.


    Soon, it crushed the soul attack.


    Suddenly.


    [Your insight is extraordinary, enduring soul attacks, refining your soul defense.]


    In a trance.


    Lin Yuan noticed that within his Niwan Pce, the ck and white Tai Chi ''Star System'' seemed to be more stable.


    "There are benefits to this as well?"


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    His extraordinary insight not only allowed Lin Yuan toprehend techniques, evolutionary paths, various secrets, and even rules far beyond other Evolvers, but it also enhanced his adaptability.


    The adaptability here was quite broad in scope.


    For example, in the Dragon and Tiger World, Lin Yuan''s consciousness descended into a baby''s body. Just as he was about to freeze or starve to death, heprehended means to resist the cold and hunger.


    Now, enduring soul attacks, the ck and white Tai Chi ''Star System'' within Lin Yuan''s Niwan Pce was being shaken.


    Thus, heprehended a method to stabilize his soul.


    Of course, this adaptability had its limits.


    In the Divine Weapon World, Lin Yuan entered a spatial crack and was instantly crushed to pieces without any time toprehend.


    But the soul attacks on the first step clearly couldn''t quickly break Lin Yuan''s soul defense.


    "Good, good, good."


    Lin Yuan felt joyful. He naturally understood the importance of the soul. The higher the soul defense, the safer he would be.


    Boom.


    Another soul attack descended.


    This time, however, the ck and white Tai Chi ''Star System'' within Lin Yuan''s Niwan Pce was much more stable. Just by increasing its speed slightly, it easily dissipated the soul attack.


    [Your insight is extraordinary, enduring soul attacks, refining your soul defense.]


    Instantly.


    The ck and white Tai Chi ''Star System'' became even more stable.


    Seeing this scene, Lin Yuan simply stayed on the first step.


    Allowing wave after wave of soul attacks to descend, stimting the slow transformation of the ck and white Tai Chi ''Star System'' within his Niwan Pce.


    Ten minutester.


    The soul attacks on the first step.


    Had already lost the ability to shake the ck and white Tai Chi ''Star System'' within Lin Yuan''s Niwan Pce.


    The descending invisible force couldn''t even approach the edge before dissipating on its own.


    Lin Yuan reluctantly stepped onto the second step.


    The soul attacks on the second step were slightly stronger than those on the first step.


    But for Lin Yuan, it wasn''t much. Unless it could quickly overwhelm him, any damage he suffered would only help him be stronger.


    By the time Lin Yuan reached the sixth step.


    Whoosh.


    Another figure appeared in the Fifth Star Cave.


    It was the Crimson Mark evolver, Silver Spirit.


    "The fifth star cave."


    Silver Spirit''s first nce fell on Lin Yuan climbing the steps.


    At the same time, she understood the nature of the test.


    "It took so long just to climb those few steps. It seems the test must be quite difficult." At this moment, Silver Spirit had already regarded Lin Yuan as a fellow Crimson Marklike herself.


    Although in the Seven-Star Cave tests, everyone wasn''t inpetition. As long as they passed all seven star caves, they could join the Red Kun lineage.


    As for the quantity, there were no restrictions.


    But after seeing Lin Yuan''s performance in the Fourth Star Cave, Silver Spirit subconsciouslypared herself to him.


    "I''ll join in too."


    Silver Spirit approached the foot of the mountain and confidently stepped onto the first step.


    "Hmm?"


    "Not difficult at all."


    The descending soul attack only slightly shook the outer edge of Silver Spirit''s soul before being blocked.


    Second step.


    Third step.


    Fourth step.


    Fifth step.


    Silver Spirit continued to climb towards the mountaintop.


    Unconsciously, Silver Spirit had already climbed forty steps.


    The entire mountain peak was a hundred meters high, with about three hundred steps.


    At this point, the descending soul attacks had made Silver Spirit cautious.


    She subconsciously nced downward.


    Seeing Lin Yuan still lingering on the seventh step.


    "This guy."


    A strange expression appeared on Silver Spirit''s face.


    ...


    I need POWAAAA :D

 Chapter 99

    Chapter 99


    Silver Spirit climbed step by step.


    Naturally, she knew that the first twenty steps ahead posed no difficulty for third or fourth rank evolvers.


    They could easily handle it.


    No matter what Lin Yuan said, he was still a Golden Mark evolver.


    How could he linger on the first twenty steps for so long while beginning toprehend the rules?


    "Could there be some secret?"


    A flicker of doubt crossed Silver Spirit''s mind.


    She believed that if Lin Yuan could reach where he was today, then he certainly wasn''t foolish; every move he made was deliberate.


    With this thought, Silver Spirit also stopped on the fortieth step.


    Boom, boom, boom.


    Soul attacks descended one after another.


    Even though Silver Spirit could easily withstand attacks at this level.


    She eventually realized that it was aplete waste of time.


    "What nonsense secret."


    Silver Spirit''s expression turned ugly; she felt foolish for her actions.


    Although such a long pause didn''t necessarily weaken her strength, it definitely didn''t offer any benefits.


    Realizing this, Silver Spirit resumed her climb towards the mountaintop.


    "My soul defense has increased by twenty percent, and the stability of the ck and white Tai Chi ''Star System'' within the Niwan Pce has increased by fifteen percent."


    On the seventh step, Lin Yuan felt quite pleased.


    These soul attacks, for him, were much more efficient than solitary cultivation.


    "Regardless of whether I can join the Red Kun lineage, let''s reap some benefits first."


    Seeing that the soul attacks on the seventh step posed no threat to him, Lin Yuan stepped onto the eighth step.


    His stay at the Fifth Star Cave would not affect his final passage through the Seven Star Cave test.


    The duration of staying in each star cave should not exceed one month.


    In the world of the Seven Star Cave, a mysterious space on a certain level.


    Lin Yuan''s actions also caught the attention of twelve figures.


    "What is Lin Yuan doing exactly?"


    "Why isn''t he quickly advancing to the Seventh Star Cave and passing the final test, wasting time in the Fifth Star Cave?"


    "Could it be that hecks in soul defense, finding it difficult to cope with those soul attacks, hence dawdling like this?"


    The nine figures below whispered to each other, specting one after another.


    The test of the Seven Star Cave was arranged by the great Red Kun Star Lord. Even they, the twelve disciples, had no right to intervene directly; they could only select disciples based on their performance in each test.


    Lin Yuan''s behavior, if not intentional, would imply either ack of ability to resist soul attacks.


    The intensity of soul attacks in the Fifth Star Cave was arranged based on the tester''s own strength.


    For example, if you were a third rank evolver, you would face attacks of the third rank , at most reaching the pinnacle of the third rank.


    Lin Yuan was a fourth rank tenth stage evolver, facing attacks of at least the fourth rank. If he wasn''t good at soul defense, it wouldn''t be surprising for him to struggle against attacks of this level.


    "Not good at soul defense?"


    The nine figures below exchanged nces.


    "No big deal."


    The three figures above didn''t care.


    Soul defense can be improvedter. If Lin Yuan iscking in this aspect, he can be given some soul defense treasures in the future.


    "At this rate, can he pass through this Fifth Star Cave in a month?" the figure on the left said with concern, his tone tinged with worry.


    He was called ''Gu Ze,'' the third disciple of the Red Kun Star Lord, also a presence surpassing the sixth rank.


    Among the three of them, Gu Ze was the most optimistic about Lin Yuan.


    "Take it slow."


    Gu Ze thought silently.


    Even if Lin Yuan failed to pass through the seven star caves, he still had the ability to bring Lin Yuan into the Red Kun lineage.


    But in that case, Lin Yuan''s status would definitely be inferior to other testers who passed through the seven star caves.


    Moreover, without specific qualifications identified in the Seventh Star Cave, Gu Ze didn''t know how to guide Lin Yuan''s future cultivation direction.


    The test of the Red Kun Star Lord''s Seven Star Cave is not opened every time. The implication of this statement is that opening the Seven Star Cave test requires a certain price to be paid.


    And the test effects in the Seven Star Cave are extremely precise. The seven different tests can roughly determine the potential of each tester.


    On the steps of the mountain peak.


    Lin Yuan moved forward step by step.


    "It''s not easy to encounter such uninterrupted soul attacks." Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Soul attacks are a very special form of attack, consuming the attacker''s own soul power greatly.


    And recovery is not as rapid as physical strength or vitality.


    In general, a soul-type evolver, if they release ten or twenty soul attacks at full force, they would basically exhaust themselves and need to rest for a while.


    So, Lin Yuan rarely found soul-type evolvers who could continuously attack him.


    As for higher-level soul-type evolvers, Lin Yuan was also somewhat uneasy. What if the other party suddenly exerted all their strength? Would he be in danger?


    "But the speed of improvement seems to be slowing down significantly."


    Lin Yuan clearly sensed that the increase in soul intensity was decreasing.


    If the improvement brought by one step at the beginning was ten for Lin Yuan.


    Now it''s eight or even five.


    "The main reason is that the current soul attacks have less and less impact on me."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Only when he feels threatened can he stimte his unrivaled insight to perfect his current physical and spiritual state, so as to better deal with theing crisis.


    But now.


    Lin Yuan hardly feels any threat.


    It''s like the first star cave, walking on a hundred li ck track.


    Even without relying on other means, such as the Tai Chi field, Lin Yuan, relying solely on his physical body, can easilyplete the track.


    So from beginning to end, Unrivaled Insight has not realized the ability to enhance the body.


    "There''s still a long time."


    Lin Yuan stopped on the twentieth step.


    By now, he hadpleted nearly a tenth of the journey to the mountain peak.


    Lin Yuan looked up towards the mountain top and saw that the silver-haired woman had already reached the top few steps.


    But it was evident that thest few steps were making her extremely ufortable.


    "It''s a pity that I didn''t exert my full strength. Just resisting soul attacks, even if I look again, I won''t see anything."


    Lin Yuan felt a bit regretful. He had hoped to gain more insights from her, especially regarding spatialprehension, which was quite rare.


    But for him to gain any insight, she had to take action.


    For example, when the silver-haired woman disyed spatial traversal, Lin Yuan started toprehend in that direction.


    If he only focused on observing the person, then Lin Yuan''s gains might be in other areas.


    For example, meaningless insights like how to turn his hair silver, or how to change his gender.


    "Friend, what are you looking at?"


    Just as Lin Yuan was contemting, a voice came from beside him.


    She was also a Golden Mark evolver, a celestial pride that appeared only once in a thousands.


    However, this Golden Mark evolver seemed a bit breathless. Climbing twenty steps continuously within a short period of time was equivalent to enduring twenty soul attacks, and each one stronger than thest.


    It was quite unpleasant.


    "Nothing much."


    "Just looking at that Crimson Mark, seems like she''s about to pass the star cave test."


    Lin Yuan casually found a reason.


    "Silver Spirit, I know her. Her master is a famous sixth-rank Falling Star, participating in the Seven Star Cave test this time, wanting to join the three of them as disciples."


    The Golden Mark evolver said with a grin.


    Staying on a certain step would continuously endure the soul attack of that step.


    But the time between attacks was at least one or two minutes, and the intensity was consistent. So as long as you withstand the first wave, the subsequent waves would pose no problem.


    "Those three?"


    Lin Yuan knew who they were.


    The three strongest disciples of the Red Kun Star Lord.


    Each one surpassing the sixth rank.


    "It seems that the Red Kun Star Lord is very good at teaching disciples."


    Lin Yuan remarked.


    Each one surpassing the sixth rank needed to forge their own path.


    External forces yed a minor role, but the Red Kun Star Lord was clearly adept at guiding disciples at this level.


    "That''s true."


    "Not only that."


    "The strength of the Star Lord is unmatched."


    "During the war with the Insect n, the Star Lord revealed his true form and swallowed a nest of the Insect n in one gulp."


    The Golden Mark evolver obviously admired the Red Kun Star Lord very much.


    She was well aware of the Star Lord''s many achievements.


    "The Insect n nest?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression became slightly serious.


    Each Insect n nest was presided over by an Insect n Mother Empress.


    And growing to the point of casting their own nests, ording to the strength division of the human race, all surpassed the sixth Rank.


    A nest of the Insect n could continuously produce insect warriors.


    First rank, second rank, third rank, fourth rank, fifth rank, and even sixth rank could be mass-produced.


    Other races, to cultivate to the fifth rank or sixth rank , would often take countless years, and it would take tens of thousands of evolvers for one to appear.


    But as long as the energy was sufficient, the Insect n mothers could produce without restriction.


    A sixth-rank Insect n warrior might not be as powerful in frontalbat as a sixth-rank evolver of the human race.


    But with their sheer numbers, could ten, hundred, thousand, or even ten thousand sixth-rank Insect n warriors be defeated by one sixth-rank evolver?


    This was the terror of the Insect n, relying on swarm tactics, almost standing at the peak of the universe.


    The war between humans and the Insect n didn''t start smoothly. Fortunately, in terms of peak strength, humans were able to surpass the Insect n.


    So the current situation was formed.


    The Red Kun Star Lord swallowing a nest of the Insect n on the battlefield was definitely a great achievement, indirectly saving countless lives of human evolvers.


    Of course, the nest was the source of the Insect n, and it was definitely heavily protected and not something you could deal with casually.


    Many evolvers surpassing the sixth rank often hadn''t found the nest yet and were overwhelmed by the vast swarm of Insect n warriors.


    And the nest wasn''t a soft persimmon; it also had its own means of self-preservation.


    After chatting with the Golden Mark evolver for a while, Lin Yuan continued to stay on the current step.


    After a while, he climbed a few more steps.


    Simrly, he disconnected from the virtual world and returned to reality.


    "A bit tired."


    Lin Yuan rubbed his brow.


    In fact, at the level of a fourth-rank evolver, the body hardly experienced fatigue.


    Under the cirction of qi and blood, swallowing and spitting out the power of Yin and Yang pervading the heavens and the earth, it was almostparable to a weakened version of a ''perpetual motion machine.''


    But while the body wouldn''t tire, the mind would.


    Especially experiencing soul attacks, even though Unrivaled Insight slowly improved soul defense, over time, he still felt tired.


    "Sleep."


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes.


    He hadn''t slept for a long time.


    Now was a good time to get a good rest.


    One dayter.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes.


    He felt the exhaustion dissipate.


    [Your Unrivaled Insight has endured arge number of soul attacks andprehended the Soul Defense Secret Technique ''Mind Pce''.]


    Hum.


    Within the Niwan Pce at his brow.


    A vast amount of soul power boiled, and the ck-and-white Yin-Yang Tai Chi ''Star System'' also vibrated.


    Eventually, a transparent five-colored pagoda took shape, enveloping the entire Niwan Pce.


    "Soul Defense Secret Technique."


    Lin Yuan felt joy in his heart.


    He could sense that outside the Niwan Pce, the invisible pagoda constructed with his own soul power had a defensive ability that even surpassed the ''Soul Calming Bell''.


    What concept was this?


    The Soul Calming Bell was a soul defense weapon that could guard the soul. Now Lin Yuan could achieve these effects without relying on the Soul Suppressing Bell? And even surpass it?


    "In the future, even if I transmigrate, I shouldn''t worry about soul defense."


    Lin Yuan felt pleased.


    When transmigrating through the Gate of Myriad Realms, unless he was transmigrating with his physical body, Lin Yuan couldn''t bring the Soul Calming Bell with him.


    But with the Soul Defense Secret Technique, even without the Soul Calming Bell, Lin Yuan had enough confidence in soul defense.


    "Continue, continue."


    Lin Yuan was full of energy, reconnecting to the virtual world and entering the Seventh Star Cave world.


    Whoosh.


    The Fifth Star Cave.


    Halfway up the mountain.


    Lin Yuan''s figure suddenly appeared.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan frowned slightly.


    The moment he appeared, the soul attack belonging to this level of the steps descended upon him.


    However, this soul attack, before entering the Niwan Pce, was blocked by that invisible pagoda.


    "Mind Pce."


    Lin Yuan couldn''t help but marvel.


    The soul attack on this level of steps could shake the outer defense of Lin Yuan''s soul.


    However, at this moment, facing this Soul Defense Secret Technique, not only could it not shake, it couldn''t even affect it.


    "Disperse."


    Lin Yuan''s mind moved slightly.


    The invisible Mind Pce immediately began to dissipate.


    Since it was a soul defense secret technique, it was natural that it could be controlled.


    In order to continue to use the soul attacks of this star cave, Lin Yuan would certainly not allow the Mind Pce to block the way.


    Boom boom boom.


    As time passed.


    Lin Yuan increasingly felt that the soul attacks were bing less effective against him.


    Until finally


    They had no effect at all.


    Because even if Lin Yuan stood still, the descending soul attacks couldn''t threaten him.


    "Almost there."


    Lin Yuan silently thought.


    At this moment, he had already reached thest step.


    "Let''s go to the next star cave."


    Unknowingly, Lin Yuan had spent more than half a month in this star cave.


    Although there was still plenty of time before the one-month stay limit, since he couldn''t reap any benefits, there was no need to continue staying.


    "There are still many evolvers."


    Lin Yuan looked down.


    He found many evolvers scattered around the foot of the mountain and halfway up the mountain.


    These evolvers were mostly Silver Mark evolvers. After passing the fourth star cave test, they came to the fifth star cave, struggling to resist soul attacks.


    "Let''s go."


    Lin Yuan''s figure flickered.


    He directly ascended to the summit of the mountain.


    Hum.


    A slight spatial fluctuation came.


    The next moment.


    Lin Yuan had already disappeared from the mountaintop.


    Heading towards the Sixth Star Cave.


    In the mysterious space.


    Twelve figures saw Lin Yuan pass through the Fifth Star Cave, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.


    "He finally passed."


    "The difficulty of the Sixth Star Cave isn''t great. If you can pass the Fifth Star Cave, it''s just a matter of time for the Sixth Star Cave."


    Among the three figures above, ''Gu ze'' looked towards Lin Yuan with a hint of expectation on his face.


    He really wanted to know what Lin Yuan''s performance would be like in the Seventh Star Cave.

    The Sixth Star Cave.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared.


    "Walk to the opposite side to pass."


    "Tip: There is no concern for life in this star cave."


    Lin Yuan nced at the stone tablet next to him.


    Written on it was the method to pass this star cave.


    "To the opposite side?"


    Lin Yuan looked up.


    The so-called ''opposite side'' was probably about ten steps away.


    Lin Yuan looked around.


    Within these ten steps, there were dozens of evolversscattered around.


    These evolvers, whether standing still, pondering with their heads down, or stopping in their tracks, all had different expressions.


    "This star cave test still focuses on the soul aspect. It should not be just simple soul attacks."


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    The evolvers within ten steps, though with different expressions, were generally calm and did not have the posture of enduring attacks.


    After observing for a while and confirming that there was no problem, Lin Yuan took a step towards the ''opposite side''.


    In an instant.


    The surrounding scenery changed.


    Lin Yuan was seated on the top floor of a luxurious building, and through the huge French windows, he could clearly see the outside world.


    Spaceships and battleships werending one after another, and beyond thes, there were star forts asrge as the sun and moon guarding.


    "Is my current identity the richest tycoon in the Red Kun Star Domain? Is my wealth enough to buy a gxy? Do I have business dealings with other star domains and even alien races?"


    Arge amount of memories appeared in his mind out of thin air.


    This quickly made Lin Yuan understand his current situation.


    "Master, the six-level resource you purchased a month ago has now been fully taken over. This six-level resource is rich in various precious ores and can bring in an annual ie of 23 trillion universe coins."


    "Master, the interest from the central bank''s depositsst year has all been credited, bringing in approximately 12 quadrillion universe coins."


    "Master, the dividend for shareholders of the Universal Gxy Company you invested in this year is 830 trillion universe coins."


    "Master."


    Intelligent robots stood not far away, constantly reporting various ies.


    As for the unit of measurement, it was not the ''civilization coins'' of the Human Alliance, but the higher-level ''universe coins''.


    Compared to the ''civilization coins'' that could only be used within the human territory, ''universe coins'' could be used in many ethnic territories.


    The conversion ratio between the two was one to ten thousand.


    Ten thousand civilization coins could be exchanged for one universe coin.


    "So wealthy."


    Lin Yuan checked his ount bnce, and the string of zeros behind made him couldn''t help but exim.


    "Unfortunately, it''s all an illusion."


    Lin Yuan sighed lightly, and the surrounding scenes began to shatter.


    Returning to the Sixth Star Cave.


    "So, with each step taken, you will experience a different illusion?"


    Lin Yuan pondered, realizing that he had taken the first step and would now have to take the second step.


    "Illusions are not difficult. With some preparation, there is basically no threat. The key is that they are too tempting. Even if you know they are false, they can make you want to stay longer and experience more."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Once such thoughts arise, it is dangerous, because every second you linger in the illusion, several days might pass in the outside world.


    Indeed, illusions would not threaten the life of the evolver, but if you stay in this star cave for more than a month, you will be automatically eliminated.


    Once you be too immersed, too indulgent, you may unconsciously neglect time and end up being eliminated.


    "Continue."


    After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan took another step into the second step.


    The environment around him changed again.


    This time, Lin Yuan appeared in a magnificent pce.


    Many beautiful women surrounded him.


    These beautiful women were all stunning, and every move they made was enchanting. At this moment, they were all serving Lin Yuan humbly.


    "The first step was wealth, and the second step is beauty?"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. The experiences in the illusion were extremely real. The delicate touch of the skin and the lingering fragrance on the tip of the nose were all vivid.


    "Great King."


    A blue-eyed beauty leaned over, her slender jade fingers tracing Lin Yuan''s chest, whispering softly in his ear.


    "Great King."


    Another beauty pounced over, caressing Lin Yuan''s lower abdomen, her hot breath flowing.


    "Great King."


    "Great King."


    "Great King."


    One beautiful woman after another approached. If these women were ced in the Human Alliance, they would be at least ''celebrities'' with billions of fans. But now, they were doing everything they could to please Lin Yuan.


    "Business matters are more important." (Chad)


    Lin Yuan''s right hand pulled out from the embrace of one of the women, and his mind moved slightly.


    In an instant, the surrounding scenes began to shatter, and Lin Yuan once again returned to the Sixth Star Cave.


    Saying ''returned'' was not quite urate because Lin Yuan had never left. Everything he had just experienced was an illusion.


    "Hmm?"


    "It''s been over a minute?"


    Lin Yuan nced at the time.


    "How insidious."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    In the illusion of beauty, as long as the evolver wanted to enjoy it, such as trying the skills of the beautiful women, even if it was just for a few seconds, the flow rate of time outside would increase nearly tenfold or even dozens of times.


    After all,pared to the illusion of wealth in the first step, the illusion of beauty in the second step produced sensations that were almost real.


    It was almost no different from enjoying it in the real world.


    Next.


    Lin Yuan took several steps in a row.


    The illusions encountered were various, including power, status, strength, and so on.


    The illusions in the Sixth Star Cave were extremely realistic, targeting the desires and emotions in the hearts of each evolver.


    But for Lin Yuan, these were too simple.


    It wasn''t that Lin Yuan had talent in this regard, but rather that he had experienced everything he needed to experience.


    Compared to other evolvers under a hundred years old, Lin Yuan, who had experienced three transmigrations, was nearly three hundred years old in real age.


    The so-called beauty, wealth, and status, Lin Yuan had experienced them all.


    In the Seven-Star Cave world, in a certainyer of the mysterious space.


    Almost at the same time, twelve figures noticed Lin Yuan, who had passed through the Sixth Star Cave at an extremely fast speed.


    "Why so fast?"


    "The illusions had no effect on him at all?"


    "How could it be? A twenty-year-old kid, how could he have such a mindset?"


    The nine figures below nced at each other.


    The test of the Sixth Star Cave was not difficult to pass, but it was rare to see someone like Lin Yuan who was almost unaffected by the illusions.


    The evolvers who had passed through the Seventh Star Cave before had wasted several hours or even half a day on those ten steps. This was considered normal in the eyes of the twelve figures.


    After all, all the evolverswere under a hundred years old. At such a young age, apart from talent, most of their time was undoubtedly spent on cultivation.


    Where would they have the time to experience such things?


    The three figures above silently watched Lin Yuan.


    "The path of evolution is an extremely difficult one. If one stops midway because of some temptation, even if they have strong talent, their ultimate achievement will be extremely limited."


    Gu Ze silently thought to himself, looking at Lin Yuan with increasing satisfaction.


    With Lin Yuan''s age, passing through the Sixth Star Cave so decisively, his determination toward the Tao was undoubtedly exceptional.


    With this, the influence of external factors on him would also be minimized in the future.


    "It''s rare at such a young age."


    "Well, when we were that age, it was very difficult for us to suppress our many desires."


    "This Lin Yuan, he''s only twenty years old, right?"


    The other two figures also praised.


    So far, the fastest to pass through the Sixth Star Cave was Silver Spirit.


    However, even Silver Spirit took over an hour toplete those ten steps.


    And with Lin Yuan''s current speed, it would take at most another four or five minutes.


    Moreover, Silver Spirit had such a fast speed because she had been following a sixth-order Fallen Star expert as her teacher since she was young.


    With such a sixth-order Fallen Star expert to support her, Silver Spirit naturally had many things that countless citizens admired but could not obtain since she was young.


    Under such circumstances, it was naturally much easier to pass through those ten steps of illusions.


    It was like a native from a backward tribe suddenlying to a higher life or the main star of the Human Alliance.


    They would definitely be attracted by all kinds of high technology and then be immersed in it.


    But for the citizens who lived on this higher life from the beginning, they would find itmon and easy to get rid of it.


    Therefore, in the eyes of the three figures surpassing the sixth rank.


    Lin Yuan was even more rare than the Silver Spirit.


    ording to public information, Lin Yuan came from an ordinary family on the Cann Star.


    Even with the attention of the Goddess of Wisdom, what could a twenty-year-old experience?


    The Sixth Star Cave.


    Lin Yuan took the tenth step and arrived at the ''opposite side'', passing the test.


    "Love?"


    A sh of thest step''s illusion passed through Lin Yuan''s mind.


    The illusion of this step tested ''love''.


    The ''love'' here was not just love between men and women, but love in a broad sense.


    The love of parents, rtives, and so on.


    "No matter what kind of emotion it is, love? Hatred? Or something else, they are all just embellishments on the path of life evolution. You can enjoy them appropriately, but you must never be immersed in them and let these emotions affect yourself."


    Lin Yuan quickly thought to himself.


    He had the Gate of the Myriad Realms and was destined to transmigrate through countless worlds, having countless identities.


    If he became immersed in the emotions brought by each identity, there would be no need to continue cultivation. Sooner orter, he would go mad and die by going astray.


    "They?"


    Lin Yuan nced back.


    There were dozens of evolvers still standing still, either experiencing illusions or unwilling to wake up so soon, or adjusting their thoughts to shake off the influence of the previous illusions.


    "The Seventh Star Cave."


    Lin Yuan took another step, his figure disappeared, leaving the Sixth Star Cave.


    The Seventh Star Cave.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared.


    "What is this?"


    Lin Yuan widened his eyes.


    Compared to the previous six star caves.


    The scene of the Seventh Star Cave was somewhat unimaginable.


    It was a huge mountain peak floating in the cosmic sky. And Lin Yuan appeared at the top of the mountain peak. From his angle, he couldn''t see the entire mountain peak, but he could faintly feel that the mountain peak was too majestic.


    "A mountain peak in space?"


    Lin Yuan was somewhat dazed. He faintly felt that this mountain peak was extremely real, not a virtual image.


    "What are those stone statues?"


    Lin Yuan looked around.


    At the top of the mountain peak, there was a stone statue sitting at intervals. Compared to the statues in the Fourth Star Cave, the stone statues here had various forms. There were ''Sky Peng'' with wings ready to fly, and ''Women'' holding the me of life high.


    In short, none of these stone statues were simr.


    "The test of this star cave is."


    Lin Yuan''s gaze shifted, finding the familiar stone tablet.


    "This star cave has a total of one hundred and thirty-six stone statues, each containing a certain path of evolution."


    "Watch the stone statues,prehend the evolution paths inside, and then touch the stone statues with your hands to pass the test."


    "Hint: What suits oneself is the best. Do not aim too high and try to forciblyprehend those towering stone statues."


    "One hundred and thirty-six stone statues?"


    "One hundred and thirty-six paths of evolution?"


    Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.


    At this moment, he also noticed that the more than one hundred stone statues scattered on the mountaintop varied in size.


    Thergest stone statue was over ten meters tall, but there were only six such tall stone statues.


    The rest of the stone statues were only two to three meters in size.


    Lin Yuan walked towards the nearest stone statue.


    This stone statue was arge Peng with wings spread out, nearly three meters tall, as if it were about to soar into the sky.


    "Perfect, just like the real thing."


    Lin Yuan watched for a while, immediately immersing his mind into it.


    He could feel that this stone statue seemed toe to life, with every feather seemingly vibrating.


    "The wind, the wind of the heavens and the earth."


    Lin Yuan faintly felt that thisrge Peng, like the incarnation of wind between heaven and earth, could blend into the wind with a slight p of its wings and cross hundreds of miles.


    Rise with the wind for a hundred thousand miles.


    [Yourprehension is extraordinary. You haveprehended the ''Heavenly Wind'' evolution path from observing the ''Sky Peng'' stone statue.]


    "Finally arrived at the Seventh Star Cave."


    Within the mysterious space, the twelve figures all looked at Lin Yuan with anticipation.


    Based on Lin Yuan''s performance in the Fourth and Sixth Star Caves, he was only second to those three Crimson Mark figures in the hearts of the twelve figures.


    He even surpassed the three Crimson Mark figures in some aspects.


    After all, the insight Lin Yuan disyed in the Fourth Star Cave truly amazed people.


    The three figures above also looked at Lin Yuan.


    Especially Gu Ze, who stared at Lin Yuan intently.


    "The Fourth Star Cave, although it also tests insight, is far less detailed and specific than the Seventh Star Cave."


    The three figures understood this.


    The one hundred and thirty-six stone statues in the Seventh Star Cave, each containing one hundred and thirty-six paths of evolution, actually symbolized one hundred and thirty-six different directions.


    Evolversprehend among them, without textual guidance, as long as they canprehend the evolution paths from the stone statues.


    It means that this evolution path is very suitable for them.


    If it is not suitable, it is difficult toprehend.


    The test of the Seventh Star Cave is to reveal the talents and potentials of all evolvers.


    In order to provide guidance for the future.


    "I hope those stone statues are the ones."


    Gu Zethought to himself.


    The ''those stone statues'' he was thinking of naturally referred to the evolution path with a direction simr to his.


    Although Lin Yuan''s current path was the two extreme attributes of Yin and Yang.


    It did not mean that he could only follow this path. Perhaps there were more suitable paths, but Lin Yuan had not encountered them before.


    So there was this choice.


    If Gu Zefound a more suitable evolution path for Lin Yuan, he couldpletely intervene and change it forcibly.


    In human civilization, as long as you haven''t reached the sixth rank, you can choose another evolution path at a certain cost.


    Just like Lon He in the Thunderstorm Star Domain.


    By replicating the flesh, he changed at least dozens of evolution paths.

 Chapter 101

    Chapter 101


    The twelve figures all paid close attention to Lin Yuan.


    Even though in the end Lin Yuan could only choose one of them as his teacher, everyone was curious about which stone statue Lin Yuan would choose toprehend.


    The 136 stone statues in the Seventh Star Cave all contained evolutionary paths, with the lowest being at Rank Six. As for the over ten stone statues that exceeded ten meters, they offered paths of evolution surpassing Rank Six.


    Of course, the most difficult ones toprehend were these over ten stone statues.


    The rules and mysteries contained within the evolutionary paths surpassing Rank Six were countless.


    The difficulty ofprehending them could be imagined.


    Even if one only needed toprehend the third and fourth-rank sections corresponding to their own strength.


    It would still be as difficult as reaching the sky.


    This was also the reason why the stone tablets in the Seventh Star Cave reminded everyone to measure their capabilities.


    If one forcibly attempted toprehend those over ten stone statues and ended up running out of time, they might be eliminated directly.


    "Hmm? Why is he going to choose the ''Heavenly Wind'' stone statue?"


    "Could it be that Lin Yuan ispatible with the rules of wind?"


    "The evolutionary path of Heavenly Wind, at the Rank Six level, although not as good as those six stone statues, is still decent."


    The twelve figures saw Lin Yuan pausing in front of the ''Sky Peng'' stone statue, and they began discussing one after another.


    "It''s also possible that he just wants to take a look."


    "Yes, none of the examinees immediately found the stone statue that suits them."


    "Didn''t the three Crimson Marks also take a while to finally decide which stone statue toprehend?"


    The twelve figures spected as they spoke.


    "The evolutionary path of Heavenly Wind?"


    Gu Ze was slightly stunned. He wasn''t good at the rules of wind. If Lin Yuan chose this stone statue, Gu Zenced at his Second Senior Brother beside him.


    He remembered the path his Second Senior Brother took, which should contain the rules of wind, right?


    "The evolutionary path of Heavenly Wind?"


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes, and fragments about this evolutionary path kept shing through his mind.


    "This is a Rank Six evolutionary path, and it is much deeper than the evolutionary path of the Pagoda."


    Lin Yuan felt delighted in his heart. Even among Rank Six evolutionary paths, there were distinctions to be made.


    This depended on the level of the person who created this evolutionary path.


    And Lin Yuan clearly felt that the description of the essence of the rules of wind in the evolutionary path of Heavenly Wind was much moreplete.


    "The wind of heaven and earth."


    Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.


    The wind was everywhere, seemingly gentle, but it also had a violent side.


    The rules of wind described in the evolutionary path of Heavenly Wind were naturally only a small part of the overall rules of wind.


    But even so, Lin Yuan benefited greatly.


    "The wind of heaven and earth is also the Tao of Tai Chi."


    Lin Yuan quickly absorbed the essence of the evolutionary path of Heavenly Wind, constantly improving his martial path.


    Tai Chi gives birth to all things and amodates all things.


    Half an hourter.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes again.


    The evolutionary path of Heavenly Wind had greatly helped him, but the urgency at the moment was not to repeatedly contemte the evolutionary path of Heavenly Wind.


    Lin Yuan raised his head.


    Looking at the other hundred-plus stone statues.


    There was inevitably a fervent look in his eyes.


    A Rank Six evolutionary path would be worth at least tens of billions.


    But now, they were stacked in front of him.


    And


    Lin Yuan''s gaze lingered on the sixstone statues that exceeded ten meters in height.


    The stone statues containing the Rank Six evolutionary path were only two to three meters tall.


    So, the evolutionary paths contained in the stone statues exceeding ten meters, wouldn''t they surpass Rank Six?


    Thinking of this, Lin Yuan couldn''t help but take a deep breath.


    He simply couldn''t find evolutionary paths beyond Rank Six in the Alliance app because his permissions did not meet the conditions.


    So far, the only evolutionary path beyond Rank Six that Lin Yuan had encountered was the ''Ancient God'' evolutionary path practiced by Fang Qing.


    However, the practice restrictions of the ''Ancient God'' evolutionary path were numerous and Lin Yuan couldn''t obtain theplete evolutionary path, he could onlymunicate and spar with Fang Qing, graduallyprehending it.


    It''s just that now.


    Evolutionary paths of this level, there were as many as six, ced in front of Lin Yuan.


    "One by one."


    "No need to rush, there''s a month''s time."


    Lin Yuan steadied his mind and turned his head to look at the ''Sky Peng'' stone statue in front of him once again.


    ording to the rules of passage in the Seventh Star Cave, as long as oneprehended the evolutionary path from the stone statue, and then used their hands to touch the stone statue.


    Condensing the aura of this evolutionary path, injecting it into the stone statue, they could pass through the Seventh Star Cave.


    In a sense, Lin Yuan had already passed the test.


    After all, he had alreadyprehended the evolutionary path of ''Heavenly Wind'', and could condense the aura of this evolutionary path at any time.


    But Lin Yuan nced at the other hundred-plus evolutionary paths and decided to stay a little longer.


    After all, as long as he passed the test within a month, there was no standard for the length of time.


    "Next one."


    Lin Yuan stood up and walked towards the nearest stone statue.


    This stone statue resembled a mouse, vividly lifelike, faintly containing the essence of the earth.


    In the mysterious space.


    The twelve figures saw Lin Yuan leaving the ''Sky Peng'' stone statue, their expressions varied, some rxed, some regretful.


    "It seems that the evolutionary path of Heavenly Wind is not suitable."


    "Right, it makes sense. Even if Lin Yuanprehends the rules of Yin and Yang attributes, even if there are more suitable evolutionary paths, they have nothing to do with the wind attribute."


    "There''s still plenty of time, let''s take it slow. Although each stone statue contains aplete evolutionary path,prehending it is not that easy."


    The twelve figures chatted with each other, rxed in tone.


    Their focus was not only on Lin Yuan but also on the three Crimson Marks.


    At this moment, the three Crimson Mark examinees were sitting under different stone statues.


    The silver-haired woman, Silver Spirit, sat in front of a ''Rubik''s Cube'' stone statue, which was twelve meters high, appearing as small as a fist at times.


    The man with raised brute strength of nearly three meters, and bloodlines at his brow, was also concentrating hard onprehension.


    They all chose stone statues over ten meters tall, while the other two to three-meter tall stone statues werepletely ignored.


    "Why did Lin Yuan leave again?"


    "Hmm? It''s strange. He just sits for a while and then leaves?"


    Time passed slowly.


    The twelve figures immediately noticed Lin Yuan''s anomaly.


    Because Lin Yuan had never stayed under a stone statue for more than two hours.


    At most, he would leave after an hour and move on to the next stone statue.


    Actually, this wasn''t that strange.


    After all, not every stone statue was suitable for Lin Yuan.


    He had to pick and choose.


    But the way other evolvers selected suitable stone statues was by standing at a distance, taking in all the hundred-plus stone statues at once.


    Each stone statue contained different evolutionary paths, and their auras were definitely different.


    By doing so, it was easy to find stone statues that contradicted one''s own aura.


    This way, one could directly select from the stone statues that matched their own aura.


    This method would also be much more efficient.


    But Lin Yuan was different, he just went from one to the next without picking.


    He didn''t even choose.


    "No harm, it''s good to look at each stone statue."


    "This way, he can also prevent omissions. Maybe he''ll encounter a very suitable evolutionary path?"


    Among the three figures above, Gu Zedidn''t really mind.


    Seeing more stone statues was also good. At most, it would waste a little time, nothing serious.


    The Seventh Star Cave.


    In just a few days.


    Lin Yuan hadprehended over fifty evolutionary paths.


    With so many evolutionary paths, his understanding of the fundamental rules burst forth countless insights in his mind.


    For a moment, the paths of the fourth rank, eleventh and twelfth stages, were faintly taking shape.


    This was just the initial influence. As time passed, the collision of many evolutionary paths would only push Lin Yuan further.


    "This stone statue."


    At this moment, Lin Yuan arrived at a new stone statue.


    This stone statue was nearly three meters tall, depicting a woman holding a cluster of life mes, emitting a faint vitality.


    "You haven''t found a suitable one yet?"


    Before Lin Yuan arrived, there had already been an examineeprehending under this stone statue.


    It was the green-haired woman.


    Sensing Lin Yuan''s approach, the green-haired woman stoppedprehending and greeted Lin Yuan.


    "The evolutionary path contained in this stone statue leans towards life aspects. If you think it''s not suitable, hurry up and choose another stone statue."


    The green-haired woman kindly reminded.


    While she wasprehending, she had also observed Lin Yuan and noticed that he had been wandering around for several days without stopping toprehend under any stone statue.


    "Life?"


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    And began to stare at the stone statue in front of him.


    Seeing this, the green-haired woman didn''t stop him either.


    One stone statue could amodate many examinees toprehend, that was the rule.


    Although the green-haired woman didn''t think that Lin Yuan was suitable for the evolutionary path of life.


    But since he wanted to try, the green-haired woman didn''t feel right stopping him.


    Over an hour passed.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes, sighed lightly, and prepared to stand up and leave.


    "Not suitable, huh?"


    The green-haired woman also opened her eyes, unable to help but speak.


    She had anticipated this scene long ago, and even waited for over an hour, specifically waiting for Lin Yuan to give up.


    The green-haired woman probably couldn''t have imagined, that at this moment, Lin Yuan was not giving up, but had sessfullyprehended the evolutionary path within the stone statue.


    Since entering the Seventh Star Cave, the green-haired woman had set her sights on this stone statue at first nce, feeling extremelypatible with herself, she had beenprehending it for over ten days.


    Finally, with some contemtion, it was estimated that in another ten days, She would be able toprehend the fourth rank of the evolutionary path within the stone statue.


    And then pass the test.


    Lin Yuan smiled and didn''t say much.


    At this moment, he continuously recalled the evolutionary path he had justprehended.


    "Life."


    In the depths of Lin Yuan''s eyes, a faint green color emerged, ultimately covered by the vast Tai Chi pattern.


    "You''d better go over there."


    Thinking that Lin Yuan was still a decent person because he hadn''t attacked her during the first star cave test, spoke softly, and then pointed in a direction.


    The stone statues there were mostly rted to Yin and Yang aspects, and the green-haired woman felt they should be more suitable for Lin Yuan.


    "Thank you."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    Without the green-haired woman''s reminder,


    His next direction was towards that area.


    In the mysterious space.


    The twelve figures were all a bit puzzled by Lin Yuan.


    Nearly three days had passed.


    Lin Yuan had looked at dozens of stone statues.


    But he still hadn''t made a definite choice.


    ...but continued to walk towards the next stone statue.


    "Such a waste of time."


    "Is Lin Yuan perhaps indecisive?"


    "Dozens of stone statues and none of them suitable for him?"


    The twelve voices murmured.


    At first, they were pleased to see Lin Yuan stopping at stone statues simr to his own evolutionary path.


    But gradually, they became numb to it.


    Such a brief pause.


    No one would think that Lin Yuan hadprehended the evolutionary path within the stone statue.


    They would only think that Lin Yuan wanted to try the next stone statue.


    The three figures above also began to lose patience.


    "Evolutionary path of Fiery Sun."


    Lin Yuan stood up again from under a stone statue.


    This time, heprehended an evolutionary path belonging to the Yang attribute, which couldplement the sun aspect of the Tai Chi Dao.


    "The Yang of all things."


    Lin Yuan''s expression was pensive.


    Even withoutbining with Yin, the extreme power of the sun was exceptionally terrifying, proficient in killing and destruction.


    Just as Lin Yuan was about to move on to the next stone statue..


    Buzz!!


    Not far away.


    A stone statue suddenly began to glow.


    The examinee standing under the stone statue disappeared instantly.


    "Someoneprehended the evolutionary path?"


    "Is it a Gold Mark evolver?"


    "Ah, let''s continue our efforts."


    Many evolvers stoppedprehending and began to whisper to each other.


    Although it was said that as long as oneprehended the evolutionary path within a month, they would pass the test of the Seven Star Cave.


    There was no need for anyparison or ranking.


    But seeing others leave sessfully, the evolvers on the field felt a bitplicated.


    It was like during an exam.


    Seeing someone handing in their paper early, even if that person''s score might not be very good, it still put some pressure on the other examinees who were still taking the test.


    "He''s leaving so easily?"


    Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.


    Then he realized that he was different from others.


    With his extraordinaryprehension, the Seventh Star Cave was an unprecedented treasure trove for him.


    Every little bit of time spent here would bring him more improvement.


    But in the eyes of those examinees, they had struggled hard toprehend the evolutionary path within a stone statue.


    They didn''t have the energy or the ability toprehend a second one.


    Naturally, they would choose to leave without hesitation.


    "It seems that evolutionary paths beyond the sixth rank are much more difficult than those of the sixth rank."


    Lin Yuan''s gaze shifted slightly as he looked towards the silver-haired woman and the other three Crimson Mark examinees.


    The first to pass the star cave test was a Gold Mark examinee.


    He was the first toprehend, not because hisprehension was better than the three Crimson Marks.


    But because the evolutionary path heprehended within the stone statue was only up to the sixth rank.


    The three Crimson Mark examineesprehended evolutionary paths beyond the sixth rank.


    The difficulty level was not on the same level.


    "I''ll continue."


    Lin Yuan pondered for a moment.


    Then he headed towards the next stone statue again.


    Time passed.


    Two dayster.


    Lin Yuan arrived at the center of the mountain, in front of the giant ''Rubik''s Cube'' that was twelve meters high.


    Even just looking at it from a distance, Lin Yuan could feel spatial fluctuations rippling.


    Although it was far from being as powerful as the spatial rift in the Divine Weapon World, the spatial power it emitted wasplete and orderly.


    "Evolutionary path beyond the sixth rank."


    Lin Yuan''s expression became slightly solemn. This was the first stone statue heprehended that was over ten meters tall.


    Compared to the ''Rubik''s Cube'', the other two to three-meter tall stone statues were like small stone pirs.


    "Let''s begin theprehension."


    Lin Yuan steadied his mind and looked up at the huge ''Rubik''s Cube'' in front of him.


    ...

 Chapter 102

    Chapter 102


    Under the giant ''Rubik''s Cube'', Lin Yuan observed carefully.


    Compared to the two or three-meter-high statues before, the ''Rubik''s Cube'' was not static, but slowly rotating.


    With the naked eye, Lin Yuan could see that the six faces of the ''Rubik''s Cube'' intersected each other, and the space flowed like water, constantly surrounding the six faces, until the ''Rubik''s Cube''pleted a revolution, and all the spatial flows copsed, starting over again.


    Constant repetition.


    Endless.


    "Space."


    Lin Yuan stood under the ''Rubik''s Cube'', his expression somewhat fascinated.


    Space is infinitelyrge and infinitely small.


    Although this huge ''Rubik''s Cube'' could not fully exin all the mysteries of space, its essence was enough for Lin Yuan toprehend.


    In the world of the Seventh Star Cave, in ayer of mysterious space.


    Seeing Lin Yuan finally stopped and stayed toprehend under the giant ''Rubik''s Cube'', everyone breathed a sigh of relief.


    Since Lin Yuan entered the Seventh Star Cave, he had been wandering around for three or four days.


    Although each evolver could stay in the Seventh Star Cave for a month, seeing Lin Yuan''s leisurely appearance still made the twelve figures quite worried.


    Now, finally.


    Lin Yuan finally stopped.


    And the chosen statue inheritance was also very good, one of the six paths beyond the sixth rank of evolution, and even this evolutionary path could rank at the forefront among those beyond the sixth rank of evolution.


    "Rubik''s Cube statue. If it really matches this evolutionary path, it will save a lot of trouble in the future."


    Among the three figures above, Gu Ze nodded slightly, showing a approving expression.


    Although other sixth-rank evolutionary paths were good, those evolvers who chose these evolutionary paths, in the future, if they were fortunate enough to cultivate to the peak of the sixth rank and wanted to surpass the sixth rank, they would have to switch to other evolutionary paths of the same type.


    Switching paths was not restarting, but it also required the evolver to pay a considerable price.


    Now that Lin Yuan had directly chosen a broad path, Gu Ze was pleased to see it.


    "But can he reallyprehend it?"


    A hint of anticipation appeared on Gu Ze''s face.


    Choosing was one thing.


    Whether he couldprehend it was another.


    Now, more than a hundred evolvers in the Seventh Star Cave knew that the sixpaths contained in those statues far exceeded those of other statues.


    But most of the evolvers still chose those statues that were two or three meters high.


    The reason was that they couldn''tprehend it at all.


    Or, they weren''t sure if they couldprehend it within the set month.


    A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.


    Although Lin Yuan wasted a few days, But based on the invisible talent he showed in the Fourth Star Cave, as long as the chosen statue matches himself, even if it''s one of those sixstatues, there shouldn''t be any problem withprehending it.


    Time passed.


    In the blink of an eye, more than half a day passed.


    Lin Yuan stood there observing the giant ''Rubik''s Cube'' all the time.


    Every moment, under the influence of Unrivaled Insight, there was a lot of gain, and finally, there was a qualitative change.


    "So that''s how it is."


    "The so-called space, intangible and invisible, yet omnipresent, even a newborn baby can feel the presence of space, but feeling it doesn''t mean being able to control it."


    Lin Yuan felt suddenly enlightened.


    [Your Unrivaled Insightprehended the ''Rubik''s Cube'' statue and grasped the ''Eternal Universe'' evolutionary path.]


    "Eternal Universe evolutionary path."


    Lin Yuan''s brow twitched, ''Eternal'' meaning ''eternal'', ''Universe'' meaning ''space'', and ''Eternal Universe'' means eternal space.


    This evolutionary path mainly elucidates the eternal aspect of space.


    "Unfortunately, I''ve only partlyprehended this evolutionary path, still far from fullyprehending it. Currently, I''ve onlyprehended the first and second ranks of the Eternal Universe evolutionary path."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Comprehending and fullyprehending were two different things.


    The test of the Seventh Star Cave was not to fullyprehend a certain evolutionary path for the evolver, but only toprehend a part of it.


    For statues containing sixth-rank evolutionary paths, onlyprehending the third and fourth ranks was enough to remember the remaining parts.


    And for statues containing evolutionary paths beyond the sixth rank, onlyprehending the first rank was enough to remember the remaining parts.


    Compared to recording evolutionary paths with words, using statues or simr carriers to record evolutionary paths brought greater and moreprehensive enlightenment to the evolver.


    After all, some things and feelings were difficult to describe with words alone.


    Of course, to record an evolutionary path on a certain carrier, it must be done by the evolver who has reached the end of this evolutionary path.


    And it requires a huge amount of effort and dedication.


    Just like Lin Yuan, he could also reproduce his own martial arts evolutionary path on a statue.


    Other evolvers only needed toprehend in front of this statue toprehend the martial arts evolutionary path.


    But to achieve this, Lin Yuan, the founder of martial arts, had to put everything aside and work tirelessly for decades to have a chance.


    This was just the martial arts evolutionary path, which was only at the quasi-fourth rank at the moment. For those sixth-rank and beyond evolutionary paths, the time and effort required would be even greater.


    "Let''s stop for now."


    Lin Yuan forced himself to stopprehending the ''Eternal Universe'' evolutionary path.


    Now that this evolutionary path has been obtained, the remainingprehension can be der. The urgent task now is toprehend the other evolutionary paths contained within the statues.


    Lin Yuan vaguely felt that the key to the world of the Seventh Star Cave not opening every timey in these statues.


    Maintaining the mysterious operation of these statues in correspondence with reality, even in a virtual world, was not an easy task.


    It required a considerable price from the Star Lord Red Kun.


    If this opportunity was not seized to take away all the evolutionary paths contained within the statues, it would probably be difficult to have such an opportunity in the future.


    At least Lin Yuan wouldn''t be able to freeload for free.


    "Go to the next statue."


    Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, beginning to n his route.


    When Lin Yuan left from under the giant ''Rubik''s Cube'', the silver-haired woman, Silver Spirit, who had been meditating with closed eyes next to him, opened her eyes.


    "Not suitable for this statue?"


    Silver Spirit nced at Lin Yuan''s departing figure.


    For Lin Yuan, Silver Spirit still paid quite a bit of attention.


    To be precise, Silver Spirit paid attention to every evolver who surpassed her.


    In the Fourth Star Cave, Silver Spirit struggled for several days, but Lin Yuan arrived, and he passed in just over twenty minutes.


    This incident had some impact on Silver Spirit.


    Although in the subsequent star caves, Lin Yuan fell into ''mediocrity''.


    But Silver Spirit still did not underestimate Lin Yuan.


    Of course, Silver Spirit was unaware of how Lin Yuan had passed through the Sixth Star Cave.


    Due to Lin Yuan''s dy in the Fifth Star Cave, when he arrived at the Sixth Star Cave, Silver Spirit had already arrived at the Seventh Star Cave.


    "Twenty-two more days."


    Silver Spirit looked towards the giant Rubik''s Cube again.


    After eight days of struggling, Silver Spirit finally barely grasped a little bit of the essence of the Rubik''s Cube statue.


    It was estimated that another twenty days would be enough to barelyprehend the contained first rank.


    This was because she, Silver Spirit, possessed extremely high spatial talent, which was in harmony with the vast space.


    Otherwise, if it were another evolver, let alone a month, even a year or ten years, they wouldn''t be able toprehend the first rank.


    And as long as the first rank wasprehended, gaining theplete evolutionary path contained within, Silver Spirit would be considered to have passed the Seventh Star Cave test.


    Among the one hundred and thirty-six statues in the Seventh Star Cave, there were two standards.


    One was for statues containing sixth-rank evolutionary paths, which were two or three meters high. They requiredprehending the evolutionary chapter corresponding to their own rank. For example, a third-rank evolver needed toprehend the third-rank chapter to obtain theplete evolutionary path.


    As for fourth-rank evolvers, they needed toprehend the fourth-rank chapter.


    The above was one standard.


    The second standard was for the sixstatues over ten meters tall.


    Whether it was a third-rank evolver or a fourth-rank evolver, they only needed toprehend the ''first rank chapter'' contained within this statue to pass.


    Mysterious space.


    The twelve figures saw Lin Yuan leaving again, looking somewhat dazed.


    In this Seventh Star Cave test, the thing that attracted their attention the most was not the three Crimson Marks, but Lin Yuan.


    The stunning performance in the Fourth Star Cave, the strong will in the Sixth Star Cave, and the bewildering behavior in the Seventh Star Cave.


    "We can''t waste any more time like this."


    Among the three figures above, Gu Ze frowned.


    He had decided to step forward and remind Lin Yuan to choose a statue toprehend as soon as possible.


    Even if it was one of those two or three-meter-tall statues containing sixth-rank evolutionary paths.


    If this continued, Lin Yuan might not be able to pass the Seventh Star Cave.


    Although, even if Lin Yuan couldn''t pass, he, Gu Ze, had the power to let him join the Red Kun lineage.


    But in that case, many powers, benefits, and treatment would be lost.


    "Gu Ze, are you going to ask the teacher?"


    A figure next to him asked.


    In the Seventh Star Cave test, the twelve of them were only spectators and had no authority to intervene in any process of the test, let alone remind.


    The only way for Gu Ze to step forward and remind Lin Yuan was to seek the Star Lord Red Kun.


    The Star Lord Red Kun was the opener of the world of the Seventh Star Cave. If he obtained his permission, he could naturally intervene.


    "That''s the only way."


    Gu Ze replied, at the same time, sending out a strand of consciousness to contact the Star Lord Red Kun.


    The other two figures beside them didn''t express much.


    The three of them were existences beyond the sixth rank, belonging to the Star Lord Red Kun''s favored disciples. It wasn''t a big deal for them to seek advice on their private matters.


    After all, the Star Lord Red Kun wasn''t like the three ultimate intelligent goddesses, absolutely selfless. Even powerful evolvers still had their own emotions.


    After a moment.


    Gu Ze frowned.


    "What''s wrong?"


    "What did the teacher say?"


    The other two figures next to him asked curiously.


    "The teacher is in seclusion, I didn''t see him." Gu Ze shook his head.


    "Seclusion?"


    "In that case, there''s nothing we can do."


    "The teacher is in seclusion, unless something really big happens, like an invasion by another race or something, or the three goddesses exercise the Civilizing Decree, otherwise, he won''t intervene in other matters."


    The two figures sighed.


    As the earliest disciples to follow the Star Lord Red Kun, they were very familiar with their teacher and knew very well that the Star Lord would hardly handle anything while in seclusion.


    No matter how urgent it was, they had to wait until he came out of seclusion.


    Gu Ze remained silent.


    The two figures were right.


    Unless something truly major happened, the Star Lord Red Kun absolutely wouldn''te out of seclusion.


    As for his highly regarded evolver wandering around... Not to mention just one Gold Mark evolver.


    Even if more than a million evolvers in the Seventh Star Cave were wandering around, it would be a trivial matter for the Star Lord Red Kun.


    The so-called three Crimson Marks were just something for the Star Lord Red Kun to take a nce at, like an ant on the ground, one with a color different from the others. Just that.


    Even if those three Crimson Marks were given ten thousand years or a hundred thousand years, it would be almost impossible for them to touch the level of the Star Lord Red Kun.


    In every iteration of the tournament in the Red Kun Star Domain, the Star Lord Red Kun would give a test, which was essentially just a task to deal with the Human Alliance.


    Specifically, the Star Lord Red Kun had never paid attention to the test, and it was his disciples who observed and selected.


    Time passed slowly.


    In the blink of an eye, another twelve or thirteen days had passed.


    Unconsciously, Lin Yuan had already been in the Seventh Star Cave for almost twenty days.


    As for the results, he was joyful. Of the one hundred and thirty-six statues in the star cave, Lin Yuan had already passed through one hundred and twenty-one.


    In other words, Lin Yuan had alreadyprehended one hundred and twenty-one evolutionary paths at this moment, starting from the sixth rank, with more than ten surpassing the sixth rank.


    Lin Yuan turned his head.


    He looked at the many statues he had passed by.


    His gaze mainly lingered on the huge statues over ten meters tall.


    There was a huge ''Rubik''s Cube'' slowly rotating.


    There was a scorching sun emitting heat.


    There was a pitch-ck, terrifying ck hole.


    There was a huge eye without pupils.


    There was a giant drop of water rippling.


    And there was a seemingly inconceivable mirror, its surface seemingly connecting to another world.


    The statues containing evolutionary paths beyond the sixth rank were bizarre. Compared to them, the Rubik''s Cube was the most normal one.


    "These statues don''t give me a sense of closeness at all. Obviously, they are not suitable for me. It''s just that under the rebelliousprehension, suitability doesn''t matter."


    Lin Yuan silently thought to himself.


    In the Dragon-Tiger World, during his visit to the Sword Tomb, that True Martial Sword didn''t actually choose Lin Yuan. It was just forcibly attracted by the ''Supreme Sensing and Sword Command Technique''prehended by Lin Yuan, and it had no choice but to submit.


    Later, as time passed, Lin Yuan''s strength became more and more unfathomable, and the True Martial Sword became obedient.


    "Hmm?"


    "Someone else is leaving again?"


    Lin Yuan stopped, and not far away, another evolver excitedly got up and reached out to the statue in front of them.


    Immediately.


    The statue started to glow.


    Obviously, this evolver had passed the test and was randomly teleported away.


    "Is it another third-rank Silver Mark evolver?"


    Lin Yuan noticed that the patterns on the side of this evolver''s face were silver.


    In the Seventh Star Cave, third-rank testers even had some advantages, after all, third-rank evolvers only needed toprehend the third-rank chapter to pass the test.


    While fourth-rank evolvers needed toprehend the fourth-rank chapter.


    The difficulty was naturally different.


    Of course, fourth-rank evolvers had a higher realm, and under their broad understanding,prehending the fourth-rank chapter wasn''t much more difficult than for third-rank evolvers.


    Overall, it was considered fair.


    At least it was better than setting a unified standard, such as having all evolversprehend the fourth-rank chapter.


    If that were really the standard, no third-rank evolver would be able to pass.

    Chapter 103


    Now, the Seventh Star Cave.


    Except for those three with the Crimson Mark.


    The fewest, unexpectedly, are the Golden Mark evolvers.


    upying the majority are the Silver Mark evolvers who cameter.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan''s gaze shifted.


    Looking towards the initial position where one is teleported from the Sixth Star Cave to the Seventh Star Cave.


    Only to see a young man suddenly appearing, evidently just passing through the Sixth Star Cave.


    "Fang Qing?"


    Lin Yuan immediately recognized the other party.


    Early in the previous tests of several star caves, Lin Yuan had recognized Fang Qing.


    After all, Lin Yuan was quite familiar with Fang Qing. After so many exchanges, even if Fang Qing changed appearance and physique, Lin Yuan could easily recognize him.


    "Not bad."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    That Fang Qing could break through to the Seventh Star Cave, Lin Yuan wasn''t surprised.


    The test of the Seventh Star Cave mainly focuses on the word ''test''. While fourth-rank evolvers would indeed have some advantages, it''s not significant, especially when ites to the Seventh Star Cave, where fourth-rank evolvers are at a disadvantage.


    "Continue."


    "It''s almost over."


    Lin Yuan no longer paid attention to Fang Qing and walked towards the stone statues ahead.


    "Such a huge mountain peak."


    Fang Qing had just arrived at the Seventh Star Cave, immediately drawn to the mountain peak beneath his feet.


    After all, a mountain peak standing in the universe''s starry sky out of nowhere is quite rare. When other evolvers see it for the first time, they''re bound to be shocked.


    When Lin Yuan arrived at the Seventh Star Cave, he was also amazed by this mountain peak.


    Soon after.


    Fang Qing''s attention shifted from the mountain peak and towards the many stone statues on the mountaintop.


    "Understanding the evolution paths contained within the stone statues?"


    Fang Qing grasped the rules therein and looked towards the mountaintop again.


    A hundred and thirty-six stone statues were all within sight, instinctively, Fang Qing was drawn to two of them.


    "It''s those two."


    Fang Qing immediately walked towards those two stone statues.


    Time passed.


    Another three or four days passed.


    Lin Yuan had already arrived in front of thest stone statue.


    This stone statue was a giant mouth, thirteen to fourteen meters tall, as if it could devour everything.


    "Devour?"


    Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.


    Under the other stone statues, there were more or fewer participants contemting. Especially those with simpler entry requirements, there were more than ten participants sitting below.


    But this eerie stone statue had not a single participant.


    Just as Lin Yuan was about to begin contemting...


    Buzz! A slight spatial fluctuation came.


    In the distance, beneath that giant cube, the silver-haired woman showed joy on her face, raising her hand to press on the cube.


    Immediately.


    The cube stopped spinning.


    Emitting a soft light.


    The silver-haired woman disappeared.


    This scene attracted the attention of most of the participants.


    After all, the silver-haired woman was a Crimson Mark evolver, one of only three among millions of testers.


    Moreover.


    The silver-haired woman was also the first toprehend a stone statue over ten meters and subsequently pass the test among the evolvers.


    Mysterious space.


    The twelve figures saw the silver-haired woman leave and immediately started conversing.


    "That''s the Eternal Universe Evolution Path."


    "In just twenty-seven days, sheprehended a first-rank segment. With proper nurturing, it''s possible to surpass even the Sixth Rank in the future."


    "Unfortunately, such a genius has nothing to do with us."


    "What''s wrong? Are you still thinking about recruiting her? Can you understand the Eternal Universe Evolution Path?"


    The nine figures below chatted casually.


    At this point, they were no longer paying attention to Lin Yuan.


    Twenty-three days, a full twenty-three days.


    While other participants toiled in contemtion, they reaped the rewards in twenty-three days.


    As for Lin Yuan, he spent a leisurely twenty-three days.


    If they had the authority to intervene in the test, they would probably have asked Lin Yuan what he had been doing for these twenty-three days.


    "Lin Yuan."


    Among the three figures above, Gu Ze silently looked at Lin Yuan.


    At this moment, Lin Yuan was right under the ''Giant Mouth'' stone statue.


    "The Devouring Heaven Evolution Path is not so easy toprehend."


    Gu Ze still held a faint hope for Lin Yuan.


    Such faint hope had appeared over a hundred times.


    Half a dayter.


    "Devouring Heaven Evolution Path."


    "Eat, eat, eat, devouring all things, achieving oneself."


    "In the universe''s starry sky, everything will be my nourishment."


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes, calming his mind slightly.


    ''I have to admit, this stone statue is indeed peculiar, the evolution path it contains can actually affect the mind.''


    "It can be referenced, but not pursued."


    Lin Yuan looked at the ''Giant Mouth'' stone statue in front of him.


    The ''Devouring Heaven'' evolution path realized from the stone statue mainly focuses on the word ''devour.''


    Consuming all things,s, and even gxies.


    Of course, when cultivating this path to the end, one would lose their human form, and their intelligence would gradually disappear.


    "Finally done."


    "One hundred and thirty-six stone statues, all understood."


    Lin Yuan felt good, seeing so many evolution paths at once.


    For each evolution path, Lin Yuan only understood part or even a small portion. In order to understand as many evolution paths as possible, Lin Yuan practically absorbed them all.


    As long as he met the understanding criteria, he immediately moved on to the next stone statue.


    Of course, Lin Yuan''s ''criteria'' were the upper limit for passing this star cave for other participants.


    "Let''s take a break first."


    Lin Yuan left the ''Giant Mouth'' stone statue and came to an open space on the mountaintop, sitting down casually.


    Even with his unrivaled insight, spending nearly half a month contemting the stone statues,prehending paths beyond the sixth rank and surpassing the sixth rank, Lin Yuan was somewhat tired.


    "It''s been twenty-three days, it''s time to pass."


    Lin Yuan ced his right hand on the ground, ncing at the numerous stone statues.


    He wanted to pass the Seventh Star Cave, which was extremely simple: choose any stone statue randomly and touch it with his hand.


    This stone statue would naturally perceive whether there was a breath of the evolution path contained within the statue within Lin Yuan''s body.


    Lin Yuan understood all the stone statues, so he just needed to touch one arbitrarily to pass.


    "Let''s pick one from those six."


    Lin Yuan looked at the six huge stone statues containing paths beyond the sixth rank.


    In the Seventh Star Cave, there was naturally a ranking.


    Understanding paths beyond the sixth rank would be evaluated differently from understanding paths of the sixth rank, especially in the evaluation by the Red Kun lineage.


    Lin Yuan had no intention of hiding his abilities. Since he had decided to join the Red Kun lineage, he wouldn''t be inferior to those three Crimson Mark evolvers.


    ording to the information provided by Fang Qing, joining the Red Kun lineage this time meant being epted as disciples by the twelve disciples of the Star Lord.


    And these twelve disciples of the Star Lord included the three strongest ones who surpassed the sixth rank.


    "Which one to choose?"


    Lin Yuan''s gaze lingered on the six stone statues.


    "Let''s go with this one."


    Lin Yuan looked at the terrifying sun stone statue that exceeded ten meters in height.


    This stone statue contained a path beyond the sixth rank, representing utmost firmness and Yang,plementing Lin Yuan''s Tao of Tai Chi.


    "Wait."


    "Once touched, I''ll have to leave this precious ce."


    Just before leaving, Lin Yuan suddenly felt a bit reluctant.


    Even though he hadn''t rested much in these twenty-plus days, the harvest was extremely satisfying.


    "There should be no omissions."


    Lin Yuan scanned the entire mountaintop, having viewed all one hundred and thirty-six stone statues.


    The division of the strength of the one hundred and thirty-six stone statues was naturally based on their size.


    For example, stone statues two to three meters high contained paths of the sixth rank.


    Stone statues over ten meters high contained paths beyond the sixth rank.


    In fact, even among the paths of the sixth rank, there were distinctions: two-meter-high stone statues and three-meter-high stone statues.


    Although both contained paths of the sixth rank, thetter, nearly three meters tall, were definitely stronger than the two-meter-high ones.


    The same applied to stone statues surpassing ten meters.


    Among the stone statues containing paths beyond the sixth rank, some were only eleven meters tall, while others were nearly fifteen to six meters tall.


    Naturally, the paths beyond the sixth rank contained by thetter were stronger.


    "Are there any omissions left?"


    Lin Yuan nced over the one hundred and thirty-six stone statues, then looked at the entire mountaintop and even began to observe the mountain beneath his feet.


    "A mountain?"


    Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.


    Inside the Seventh Star Cave.


    The universe''s starry sky was merely a background.


    It could be seen but not touched.


    What the participants could interact with were only the one hundred and thirty-six stone statues


    And this towering mountain beneath their feet.


    If considering size, even if all one hundred and thirty-six stone statues werebined, they still couldn''tpare to the mountain beneath their feet.


    "A mountain?"


    Lin Yuan plopped down, lying on the ground, his consciousness slowly dispersing, beginning to sense the vastness and inclusiveness of the mountain behind him.


    Majestic.


    Grand.


    Profound.


    "This mountain can also beprehended?"


    Lin Yuan couldn''t help but be immersed.


    In just a short while, Lin Yuan felt the vastness and inclusiveness of the mountain beneath him.


    It seemed as if the entire universe was contained within this mountain, whether it was a path of the sixth rank or a path beyond the sixth rank.


    They were all just a part of this mountain.


    "So perfect."


    Lin Yuan''s heart trembled. On this mountain, he saw everything, including the Tai Chi he established.


    "Why."


    "Why did I only notice this mountain now?"


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes.


    What was the most conspicuous thing in the Seventh Star Cave? The universe''s starry sky? The one hundred and thirty-six stone statues? No, none of those.


    The most conspicuous thing was this mountain beneath their feet.


    The mountain standing in the backdrop of the universe''s starry sky was the first thing all participants saw upon entering the Seventh Star Cave.


    The one hundred and thirty-six stone statues came second.


    But...


    Why hadn''t such a conspicuous mountain been noticed by everyone?


    "Is it because my realm is insufficient? Afterprehending one hundred and thirty-six paths, my cognitive realm has been greatly elevated. Now, upon focusing on the mountain, I am enlightened."


    Compared to the one hundred and thirty-six stone statues, the mountain beneath his feet was too vast.


    Just like staring at the universe''s starry sky for a long time wouldn''t yield much, because of the vast gap between the two.


    Unrivaled insight is not omnipotent; it depends on the height Lin Yuan stands at.


    Time slowly passed.


    One day, two days, three days, four days, five days.


    In the mysterious space.


    The gazes of the twelve figures once again fell on Lin Yuan.


    "He''s lying there doing what?"


    "Lying on the ground resting?"


    The twelve figures were dumbfounded.


    They had already reluctantly epted Lin Yuan''s wandering behavior for nearly half a month.


    But now, Lin Yuan was going even further by simply lying down and beingzy.


    "Is it because he didn''t find a suitable stone statue for himself?"


    A figure below spected.


    For the past twenty-plus days, Lin Yuan had visited all one hundred and thirty-six stone statues before finally sitting down to rest.


    If Lin Yuan had found a suitable stone statue for himself, he would definitely have been eager toprehend it.


    Now, this scene could only indicate that none of the one hundred and thirty-six stone statues contained an evolution path suitable for Lin Yuan.


    "Is he just giving up like this?"


    Among the three figures above, Gu Ze''s brow furrowed again.


    He also thought that Lin Yuan might not have found a suitable stone statue for himself.


    But even if it wasn''t suitable, he could still forciblyprehend it.


    The evolution path contained in the stone statue, when it resonates with oneself, can only increase theprehension speed.


    Even if it''s not suitable, forciblyprehending it would still yield some results.


    However, forciblyprehending the stone statues containing paths beyond the sixth rank was too difficult.


    He could also forciblyprehend other stone statues containing paths of the sixth rank.


    Even if he ultimately didn''tprehend the evolution path, at least he had made an effort and didn''t give up easily.


    In this way, Gu Ze would also have a reason to ept Lin Yuan into the Red Kun lineage after the test was over.


    But now, seeing Lin Yuan lying on the groundpletely giving up, Gu Ze began to doubt his judgment.


    "Junior brother."


    "Let it go."


    "This person''s willpower is too weak. Even if he has strong insight, his achievements will be limited in the future."


    Two figures beside him tried to persuade Gu Ze.


    They even felt that Gu Ze didn''t need to ept Lin Yuan as his disciple anymore.


    After all, nurturing disciples in the Red Kun lineage required resources, especially in the early stages.


    "Well then."


    Gu Ze sighed inwardly.


    He also thought Lin Yuancked determination.


    To be strong, aptitude is one aspect, insight is another, and strong determination is also required.


    Encountering something, and giving up before even trying, what achievements could such a person have?


    Time slowly passed.


    Another day or two went by.


    On this day, it was the twenty-ninth day since Lin Yuan entered the Seventh Star Cave.


    ording to the rules of the Seventh Star Cave test, if one more day passed and Lin Yuan still hadn''tprehended an evolution path, he would be expelled from the world of the Seventh Star Cave.


    "Why is that person lying there?"


    "I don''t know."


    "Maybe he''s tired?"


    Lin Yuan''s actions also drew the attention of other participants.


    However, these participants only nced at it briefly. Their main goal now was to pass through the Seventh Star Cave.


    None of the participants had time to mind other people''s business.


    Just then.


    Lin Yuan, who had been lying motionless for nearly ten days, suddenly opened his eyes.


    "So that''s how it is."


    In the depths of Lin Yuan''s eyes, there was a faint reflection of the vast starry sky.


    A deeply profound aura condensed within Lin Yuan''s body at that moment.


    Because Lin Yuan was lying on the ground at this moment, parts of his skin were in contact with the mountain beneath his feet.


    The moment this profound aura appeared.


    The entire mountain began to tremble.


    For a moment.


    The remaining dozens of participants panicked, stopping theirprehensions and looking around.


    The trembling of the mountain didn''t stop, and it even intensified.


    In the mysterious space.


    The twelve figures also showed shock.


    The main mountain of the Seventh Star Cave was trembling, something that hadn''t happened in tens of thousands of years.


    "What''s this?"


    Among the three figures above, the figure in the first position seemed to realize something, and his expression suddenly changed.


    "The final test."


    "Someone has passed the final test."


    The other two figures immediately reacted.


    The nine figures below all stood up at the same time, looking around the Seventh Star Cave as if searching for something.


    In a spacious hall.


    An old man in a red robe sat on a throne, his eyes closed as if dozing off.


    "Star Lord, Star Lord."


    Just then, the voice of an intelligent assistant came, awakening the old man in the red robe.


    "What''s the matter?"


    "Don''t you know I''m in seclusion?"


    The Star Lord of Red Kun Domain didn''t open his eyes, but furrowed his brow and muttered.


    "Speak."


    The Star Lord opened his mouth again, knowing that whoever dared to disturb his seclusion at this time must have something important.


    "The world of the Seventh Star Cave, someone has passed the final test."


    The intelligent assistant quickly said.


    "The final test?"


    The Star Lord''s eyes silently opened at the words.


    Boom.


    A terrifying heat spread rapidly for tens of thousands of miles. The Star Lord''s eyes shone like two stars illuminating the four directions.


    Hum.


    The consciousness of the Star Lord connected to the virtual world, overlooking the entire world of the Seventh Star Cave, and looking at the trembling mountain of the Seventh Star Cave.


    Then he returned to reality, sitting upright on the throne in the center of the hall, slowly closing his eyes, isting himself from the outside world.


    "It''s been ten thousand years."

 Chapter 104

    Chapter 104


    The Seventh Star Cave.


    The mountain peak trembled and shook.


    The ones most affected by this were undoubtedly the evolvers still contemting the stone statues.


    Currently, among the many evolvers in the Seventh Star Cave, only three to five were Gold Marks, while the rest were all Silver Marks.


    As for those three Crimson Marks, they had already passed the test and left the Seventh Star Cave several days ago.


    The vast majority of the Gold Marks had also left.


    "What''s happening?"


    "Why do I feel like the ground is unstable?"


    "Is there an earthquake? Can there be earthquakes in the virtual world?"


    The evolvers exchanged puzzled looks. They were all third or fourth-rank evolvers and shouldn''t have trouble standing firm during this slight tremor.


    But where exactly were they? The Seventh Star Cave world, the great trial world opened by the esteemed Red Kun Star Lord.


    To ensure fair contemtion of the stone statues by the evolvers, the entire Seventh Star Cave was incredibly stable, free from any unexpected variables.


    But now?


    "Why do I feel like the statue in front of me is shaking?"


    At this moment, one evolver seemed to have noticed something, looking incredulously at the stone statue he had been contemting for half a month.


    This stone statue was nearly three meters tall, considered top-notch among the many containing sixth-rank evolutionary pathways.


    And as others observed, they immediately noticed.


    Under the trembling ground, it wasn''t just the two to three-meter-tall stone statues that were affected.


    Even those massive statues over ten meters tall, containing pathways surpassing the sixth rank, were simrly affected.


    Specifically, these massive stone statues over ten meters tall, weren''t as still as before.


    For example, the huge ''Cube'' was no longer rotating its six faces slowly, stirring up ripples of space.


    And the ''Giant Mouth'' stone statue seemed to havepletely immersed its eerie aura, as if it were an ordinary statue.


    "Something special must have happened."


    Fang Qing also stopped contemting the stone statue in front of him.


    The information the old man with the white beard gave him about the Seventh Star Cave was clear.


    That is, the trial of this star cave tests the insight of each evolver.


    "What about him?"


    Fang Qing observed his surroundings.


    He noticed that the evolvers sitting under the statues were all showing expressions of doubt and shock.


    Except for one evolver lying in the corner, resting on the ground, without any changes.


    Everyone was nervously chatting.


    While the other evolvers were showing various emotions of shock, unease, and anxiety, this evolvery motionless on the ground, showing no interest in the trembling ground.


    "Gold Mark."


    Fang Qing had noticed this peculiar Gold Mark evolver long ago.


    Instead of actively contemting the stone statue, hey there resting.


    In the mysterious space.


    The twelve figures were filled with waves.


    Those evolvers didn''t know what the trembling of the mountain peak meant, but they were different. As disciples of the Star Lord, they knew much more than the outside world.


    "Someone passed the final test?"


    "Who could it be? The difficulty of the final test, even if I were to contemte it, might not guarantee sess. Are these third and fourth-rank youngsters able toprehend it?"


    "This is a major event, a once-in-a-million-years event for our Red Kun lineage."


    The twelve figures were shaken. It was because they knew more that they understood the difficulty of passing the final test.


    That was not something prepared for normal evolvers.


    "It''s Lin Yuan."


    "It should be Lin Yuan who passed the final test."


    The twelve figures scanned each evolver, finally stopping at Lin Yuan.


    There was no other way.


    Compared to the shock, unease, and anxiety of the other evolvers, only Lin Yuan had remained unchanged from beginning to end.


    And the twelve figures could feel that the tremors of the entire mountain were centered around Lin Yuan, rapidly spreading in all directions.


    "Lin Yuan, wasn''t he just wandering around before?"


    "Could it be that he wasn''t wandering but was secretly contemting the final test?"


    "That''s probably it. I didn''t expect it. Lin Yuan actually gave us such a big surprise."


    The twelve figures quickly conversed.


    They immediately spected on the reasons for Lin Yuan''s strange behavior before.


    As disciples of the Star Lord, the twelve figures knew that besides the 136 stone statues containing evolutionary pathways, there was also the 137th evolutionary pathway.


    This pathway was not in the stone statues but within the mountain beneath their feet.


    Unfortunately, over the millennia, the Seventh Star Cave world had been opened hundreds of times, and thousands of Crimson Mark evolvers had entered the Seventh Star Cave, but none had even thought of contemting this pathway, let alone seeded.


    To the extent that the twelve figures had overlooked this final test, it wasn''t until the mountain peak trembled for a while that they realized.


    "The final test, huh? Lin Yuan actually fits this evolutionary pathway. If he continues to grow smoothly, surpassing the sixth rank is highly probable."


    Nine figures below, looking at Lin Yuan lying on the ground, couldn''t help but speak.


    Moving from the sixth to the seventh rank is a major bottleneck.


    In the cosmic sky, among billions of species, even those with exceptionally high starting points and special bloodlines cannot easily surpass the sixth rank.


    The true form of the Red Kun Star Lord is a Star-Sea Kun, possessing the most pinnacle bloodline in the cosmic sky, reaching the sixth rank as an adult.


    Even so, the Red Kun Star Lord spent thousands of years to surpass the sixth rank.


    This was because the Red Kun Star Lord had decent aptitude. The vast majority of Star-Sea Kuns could not break through the sixth rank.


    Regardless of bloodline or aptitude, the limit is the sixth rank.


    To surpass the sixth rank, one can only rely on oneself.


    For Lin Yuan to pass the final test and be evaluated by the twelve figures as having a ''high probability of surpassing the sixth rank'' was already considered extremely high.


    "Sigh."


    Among the nine figures below, Kawusighed.


    During the second star cave, he had noticed Lin Yuan. At that time, he was considering whether to speak up and ask the senior brothers to ept him early.


    Then he witnessed Lin Yuan''s stunning performance in the fourth star cave.


    At that moment, Kawurealized that he had been too indecisive.


    Finally, in the Seventh Star Cave, Lin Yuan never chose a statue, which led to a sharp drop in the evaluation by the senior brothers.


    This reignited hope in Kawu''s heart.


    "If you don''t want him, I do."


    However, at this moment, Kawu''s thoughts wereplicated.


    "Junior brother, don''t feel regretful." Another figure beside him noticed Kawu''s change in expression andforted him.


    "That Lin Yuan has passed the final test, and he''s no longer someone we can ept, including the three senior brothers above."


    This figure spoke lightly, ncing at the three figures above.


    Kawuwas slightly stunned.


    The final test was left by their teacher. Thousands of years ago, another evolver who passed the final test was directly epted as a disciple by their teacher.


    Unfortunately, this evolver hadn''t grown up yet and attracted the attention of other races due to his high-profile behavior.


    In the end, the other races sacrificed nine sixth-rank powerhouses and forcibly killed this potentially powerful evolver.


    This incident enraged the Red Kun Star Lord, who directly descended to the battlefield and ughtered the alien race before leaving after several hundred years.


    The three figures above.


    "We all misjudged him."


    "This Lin Yuan never paid attention to those 136 stone statues."


    "He has been contemting that final evolutionary pathway from start to finish."


    The three figures sighed with emotion. They didn''t harbor jealousy or anger.


    Instead, they felt genuine surprise and delight.


    After all, since Lin Yuan chose to participate in the Seventh Star Cave test, he was one of them in the Red Kun lineage.


    Where would anyone find fault with their own powerful members not being powerful enough?


    "Gu Ze, it seems you won''t be able to ept him." The figure in the middle joked and nced at Gu Ze.


    With Lin Yuan passing the final test, only the Red Kun Star Lord had the qualification to ept him in the entire Red Kun lineage.


    As for them, they wanted to brazenly ept him, but they couldn''t teach him.


    Lin Yuanprehended other evolutionary pathways. Even if it was those six pathways beyond the sixth rank, they knew how to guide him.


    But the final test of the evolutionary pathway, This pathway, although also beyond the sixth rank.


    There were differences between surpassing the sixth rank evolutionary paths


    For example, the three of them were evolvers beyond the sixth rank.


    Butpared to the Red Kun Star Lord, they were like firefliespared to the bright moon.


    "Ten thousand years."


    "Finally, another genius suitable for practicing the ''Mysterious Yellow'' evolutionary pathway has appeared."


    In the pce, the Red Kun Star Lord, sitting on the throne, had his eyes closed, but his thoughts were stirring with ripples of anticipation.


    The ''Mysterious Yellow'' evolutionary pathway was brought out by the Red Kun Star Lord from a certain cosmic secret realm.


    This pathway was extremely mysterious, with a very low threshold yet extremely high.


    The reason for the low threshold was that not only humans but also other races could practice this evolutionary pathway.


    As for the reason it was extremely high, since the Red Kun Star Lord obtained this evolutionary pathway, only one person suitable for practicing it had been found.


    The Red Kun Star Lord was initially delighted and directly epted him as a disciple.


    But unfortunately, this person died at the hands of another race thousands of years ago.


    "The Mysterious Yellow evolutionary pathway."


    The Red Kun Star Lord''s expression showed anticipation.


    With his strength, even if he wasn''t suitable for this pathway, he could forcibly practice it.


    However, if he did so, he could only practice up to the sixth rank at most, and there was basically no possibility of breaking through the sixth rank.


    Only an evolver extremely suitable for this pathway had hope of reaching a higher level.


    "Lin Yuan."


    The Red Kun Star Master immediately recalled various information about Lin Yuan.


    "My good disciple."


    The Red Kun Star Lord''s thoughts stirred slightly, and his consciousness once again connected to the virtual world.


    Seventh Star Cave.


    Lin Yuany on the ground.


    In reality, he was trying his best to contemte the mountain beneath his feet.


    "What kind of evolutionary pathway is it that I''ve been contemting for nearly ten days and haven''tprehended even the first step?"


    Lin Yuan was somewhat shocked.


    When he contemted the six massive stone statues over ten meters tall, he couldprehend the first and second steps in half a day at most.


    But contemting the mountain beneath his feet seemed to have no end.


    [Your insight is extraordinary, sensing the mysterious mountain, andprehending the unknown evolutionary pathway, the first step (1%)]


    "One percent of the first step?"


    Lin Yuan had long noticed the tremors of the mountain beneath his feet and realized that he should meet the standard for passing the Seventh Star Cave.


    Testers need toprehend the third and fourth ranks to pass the Seventh Star Cave byprehending stone statues two to three meters high.


    Comprehending statues taller than ten meters only requiresprehending the first rank to pass the Seventh Star Cave.


    Now, Lin Yuan onlyprehended one percent of the first rank of the towering mountain beneath his feet, which counted as passing the test.


    Among the three types mentioned above, each one is more difficult than thest. Especially thest typeif Lin Yuan hadn''tprehended all the statues, raised his realm of insight to a higher level, and carefully inspected the mountain several times, he might not have had the idea ofprehending this particr evolutionary pathway.


    After all, Lin Yuan had never been aware of the attraction of the mountain to him.


    In other words, Lin Yuan was not actually suitable for practicing this unknown evolutionary pathway. It was just his extraordinary insight that forced him to get started, thereby passing the test.


    "Worth it."


    Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.


    Although he had onlyprehended one percent, and it was only one percent of the first rank, since he passed the test, Lin Yuan naturally obtained theplete version of this evolutionary pathway.


    However, this evolutionary pathway was too vast and profound for Lin Yuan toprehend in a short time.


    He could only leave it forter contemtion.


    But for Lin Yuan, this waspletely fine.


    With his extraordinary insight, Lin Yuan was not afraid of being unable toprehend it; he was afraid of having nothing toprehend.


    Directlyprehending the natural world was too obscure, while evolutionary pathways were like describing the mysteries of the natural world in a certain way.


    Comprehending evolutionary pathways was more efficient for Lin Yuan, equivalent to taking a shortcut.


    Whoosh.


    Lin Yuan''s figure disappeared directly.


    Like the other evolvers who passed the test before him, he left the Seventh Star Cave.


    The difference was that the former got up, touched the statue in front of them, and then were teleported away.


    But Lin Yuan was lying on the ground and was then teleported away.


    Lin Yuan''s departure also drew the attention of the twelve figures in the mysterious space.


    Like other testers, when they saw Lin Yuan disappear, they would only think that he had logged off.


    However, as observers of the Seventh Star Cave test, the twelve figures immediately realized that Lin Yuan hadn''t logged off but had sessfully passed the test and left.


    "It seems that the teacher has really taken action."


    Among the three figures above, the first one spoke.


    ording to the rules of the Seventh Star Cave test, every evolver who passed the test would be transported to a unified space.


    And when the Seventh Star Cave world waspletely closed.


    Then the twelve figures would select.


    However, after Lin Yuan disappeared, they did not find him in the space where the testers were temporarily ced.


    Obviously, only the high-ranking Red Kun Star Lord could change the rules of the Seventh Star Cave world.


    "Where is this?"


    After being teleported away, Lin Yuan appeared in a pce.


    The surroundings were deste and empty, with a throne in the center.


    Sitting on it was an old man in a red robe.


    Although the old man in the red robe had his eyes closed, Lin Yuan could faintly feel that the other party was watching him.


    "Hmm?"


    Fang Qing had told him that after passing the Seventh Star Cave test, everyone would be transported to a ce where they would choose which Star Lord''s disciple they would join after any test ended.


    But now, in the entire pce, Lin Yuan did not find any other testers.


    "Could it be..."


    Lin Yuan spected inwardly.


    It should be that thest evolutionary pathway heprehended had a problem.


    "I, Red Kun, want to ept you as the thirteenth disciple." At this moment, the old man in the red robe sitting on the throne suddenly spoke. "Are you willing?"


    "Red Kun?"


    Thoughts surged in Lin Yuan''s mind. "I am willing."

 Chapter 105

    Chapter 105


    The Star Lord of Red Kun does not ept disciples.


    This point was told to Lin Yuan long ago by Fang Qing.


    The major forces in the Red Kun Star Domain, and even in other star domains, are also aware of this.


    Even though every once in a while, there are prominent figures from other forces who, through various means, attempt to have the Star Lord of Red Kun ept their descendants.


    So far, not a single one has seeded.


    The reason for this is because the Star Lord of Red Kun is indeed strong in teaching disciples.


    Normally, even ten sixth-rank evolvers, or a hundred, or even a thousand, might not have one who breaks through to the seventh rank.


    But what about the disciples of the Star Lord of Red Kun? There are twelve disciples.


    Three of them have surpassed the sixth rank.


    This probability is simply terrifying.


    Although it is said that among the twelve disciples of the Star Lord of Red Kun, each one is extraordinary, and the probability of breaking through the sixth rank is much higher than that of ordinary sixth-rank evolvers outside.


    Even so, three out of twelve disciples is still extremely exaggerated.


    But unfortunately, since ten thousand years ago, after the new disciple epted by the Star Lord of Red Kun died at the hands of the foreign race, there have been no more disciples epted.


    Actually, before that new disciple, the Star Lord of Red Kun didn''t ept many disciples either.


    After all, at the level of the Star Lord of Red Kun, unless they really like someone, epting disciples is aplete waste of time.


    In pastpetitions in the Red Kun Star Domain, all the geniuses discovered werepletely ignored by the Star Lord of Red Kun, and all were handed over to the twelve disciples.


    Whether it''s a genius with a Crimson Mark, a Gold Mark, or even a regr Silver Mark, they''re all the same in the eyes of the Star Lord of Red Kun.


    Of course, a few geniuses with Crimson Marks would still get a second look from the Star Lord of Red Kun.


    But that''s about it.


    "Respects to the teacher."


    In the spacious pce, Lin Yuan bowed slightly.


    Although he didn''t know what level the Star Lord of Red Kun was at.


    But it''s very obvious that he is far superior to Lin Yuan.


    In front of such a strong person, Lin Yuan naturally wouldn''t show any disdain.


    Moreover, by epting the Star Lord of Red Kun as his teacher, it''s equivalent topletely standing on the same side.


    If Lin Yuan has any needs, or encounters any troubles, the Star Lord of Red Kun wouldn''t ignore them.


    In the Cosmic Human Alliance, formally epting a teacher is a very serious matter.


    "Not bad."


    The Star Lord of Red Kun was quite satisfied.


    Although his eyes were closed slightly.


    But every little detail of Lin Yuan''s was reflected in his heart.


    As early as twenty to thirty thousand years ago, he stopped epting disciples.


    Because he didn''t think it was necessary.


    With that time, he might as well cultivate himself.


    But Lin Yuan is different.


    Within a short month, he grasped the surface of the Mysterious yellow evolutionary path.


    If properly cultivated, he would probably surpass the twelve disciples in front of him.


    More importantly, the Star Lord of Red Kun wanted to see where the limit of the Mysterious yellow evolutionary path lies.


    What''s so special about the evolutionary method he brought out of that cosmic secret realm at the risk of his life so many years ago.


    The Star Lord of Red Kun is not suitable for practicing it himself.


    But he can see it through Lin Yuan.


    "How''s your understanding of the Mysterious yellow evolutionary path?"


    The Star Lord of Red Kun inquired.


    "The Mysterious yellow evolutionary path?"


    Lin Yuan immediately understood that the mysterious evolutionary path he hadprehended was named ''Mysterious yellow.''


    "Just a little bit."


    Lin Yuan''s face showed a trace of shame.


    In nearly ten days, he immersed himself in understanding, but he only grasped one percent of the first rank.


    And above the first rank, there are still the second rank and the third rank.


    "Normal."


    "In a month''s time, to grasp a little bit is already good."


    The Star Lord of Red Kun said nonchntly.


    Evolver''s lifespans are long, as long as they cultivate to the sixth rank, they can live for twenty thousand to fifty thousand years, and surpassing the sixth rank means a lifespan of two hundred thousand years.


    Lin Yuan still has plenty of time toprehend further.


    Moreover, as Lin Yuan''s realm rises, his efficiency in understanding will gradually improve.


    What the Star Lord of Red Kun didn''t know is that Lin Yuan''sprehension of the Mysterious yellow evolutionary path didn''t take a month.


    But only ten days.


    Most importantly, Lin Yuan''sprehension is a forced one.


    "I am very satisfied with your character."


    After observing Lin Yuan''s growth trajectory, the Star Lord of Red Kun nodded slightly and said.


    The Goddess of Wisdom has blocked some information about Lin Yuan.


    The Star Lord of Red Kun can only see roughly, but even so, it surprises him somewhat.


    Because the Star Lord of Red Kun finds that Lin Yuan is too low-key.


    As a fourth-rank evolver, there was actually no information about Lin Yuan on Cann Star before participating in this round ofpetition?


    Even with the help of the Goddess of Wisdom, it''s incredible to achieve this.


    After all, as an evolver with great power, it''s hard to return to ordinary life.


    Yet Lin Yuan managed it, living in obscurity until the age of neen.


    Then, he suddenly made a name for himself when thepetition began.


    This behavior is exactly what the Star Lord of Red Kun admires.


    Ten thousand years ago, thest disciple the Star Lord of Red Kun epted, much like Lin Yuan, was exceptionally talented and suited to cultivate the Mysterious yellow evolutionary path.


    But this disciple was too high-profile and ended up being assassinated by an alien race.


    Even though the Star Lord of Red Kun retaliated fiercely, it was meaningless since the person was already dead.


    Lin Yuan, on the other hand, ispletely different.


    If it weren''t for thispetition, perhaps Cann Star wouldn''t even know about Lin Yuan.


    Although the Star Lord of Red Kun hasn''t shown it, he appreciates this approach.


    Back when he sessfully possessed the Star-Sea Kun fish of the Star Sea, he didn''t immediately return to human civilization but spent thousands of years surpassing the sixth rank before considering other matters.


    The more of a genius one is, the more low-key they should be until they have fully matured.


    "Understood."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    In fact, he had only be an evolver two or three years ago.


    Of course, this ''time'' refers to the main world''s time.


    But the Star Lord of Red Kun definitely wouldn''t believe it; he subconsciously assumed Lin Yuan had been practicing for over ten years, just remaining unknown all this time.


    "You are now my disciple, which means you are part of the Red Kun lineage, the thirteenth peak master."


    The Star Lord of Red Kun looked at Lin Yuan and said, "I have no other requirements for you, except that until you reach the sixth rank, don''t reveal your identity as my disciple unless you are permanently residing on the Red Kun main star."


    "Understood."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    The Star Lord of Red Kun hadn''t epted disciples for tens of thousands of years.


    Today, he suddenly epted one.


    What would others think? What would the alien races think?


    Given the methods of the Star Lord of Red Kun in nurturing disciples, there is a great hope for this disciple to break through the sixth rank.


    If so, why not wait for this disciple to be weak and then kill them?


    In the eyes of the alien races, the identity of the Star Lord of Red Kun''s disciple is probably no lower than that of the founder of a certain sixth-rank evolutionary path.


    Even at a huge cost, it must be eradicated.


    "Of course, it''s just best not to expose your identity. As for other matters, as the thirteenth peak master of the Red Kun lineage, your treatment and status will naturally be substantial."


    "I''ll have Gu Ze exin the details to you."


    The Star Lord of Red Kun said.


    Next, the Star Lord of Red Kun gave Lin Yuan some instructions.


    Then, with a wave of his hand, he handed Lin Yuan over to the third senior brother, Gu Ze.


    "Junior Brother."


    Inside a manor, Gu Zelooked at Lin Yuan with a smile on his face.


    "Third Senior Brother."


    Lin Yuan''s expression was solemn.


    Among the twelve disciples of the Star Lord of Red Kun, three have surpassed the sixth rank.


    This third senior brother is one of them.


    "This is the virtual world of our Red Kun lineage."


    Third Senior Brother Gu Ze stood up and brought Lin Yuan to a vast continent.


    This continent is a hundred times the size of Cann Star, with a huge mountain standing in the center.


    In addition, around this central mountain, there are thirteen smaller peaks.


    "That''s where Junior Brother''s residence is."


    Third Senior Brother Gu Zecame to one of the thirteen peaks.


    From a distance, this peak is indeed notrge, far less magnificent than the central peak. However, when Lin Yuan approached, he found that the size of this peak is nearly half that of Cann Star.


    "As a peak master, Junior Brother has the highest authority over this peak."


    "You can recruit disciples and servants here. Of course, this is just a virtual world, so its significance is not veryrge."


    "When youe to the Red Kun main star one day, I''ll exin it to you in detail."


    Third Senior Brother Gu Zebrought Lin Yuan to the top of this peak and continued:


    "In addition, as a disciple of the teacher, you can ess any evolutionary path recorded by the Red Kun lineage."


    "Any evolutionary path?" Lin Yuan was intrigued.


    A virtual screen appeared in front of him, shing various evolutionary paths.


    "So many?"


    Lin Yuan felt a little excited.


    Although he gained a lot from the Seventh Star Cave, all the evolutionary paths he obtainedbined were only over a hundred.


    Now, the Red Kun lineage records thousands of evolutionary paths, including those surpassing the sixth rank.


    "The Mysterious yellow evolutionary path is not included."


    After looking through it briefly, Lin Yuan didn''t find the Mysterious yellow evolutionary path.


    "Also, every time you break through, you can apply for ''Red Spirit Liquid.''"


    Third Senior Brother Gu Ze said with a smile.


    "Red Spirit Liquid?"


    Lin Yuan was puzzled.


    "Red Spirit Liquid is a unique resource of our Red Kun lineage, which cannot be found outside." Third Senior Brother Gu Zesmiled and exined.


    "The use of Red Spirit Liquid is to transform into the purest energy to replenish oneself."


    "If you break through from the fourth rank tenth stage to the eleventh stage, for example, you don''t need to slowly absorb external energy to transform yourself. You just need to apply for a drop of Red Spirit Liquid."


    Third Senior Brother Gu Ze exined.


    "I see."


    Lin Yuan understood.


    In other words, as a disciple of the Star Lord of Red Kun, Lin Yuan doesn''t need to waste extra time umting basic energy.


    As long as he reaches a certain realm, he can break through without any restrictions.


    This is significant for Lin Yuan.


    Every time he transmigrate, Lin Yuan has to spend a lot of money to buy rare treasures and spiritual objects to restore his full strength.


    Now, he doesn''t have to worry about this aspect anymore; he can just apply for Red Spirit Liquid directly.


    "Your strength is still weak now, so the teacher specially selected a bodyguard team for you, as well as three life-savingmand tokens."


    Third Senior Brother Gu Ze paused here and continued to exin.


    The so-called bodyguard team consists of personal powerhouses from the Red Kun lineage, led by a sixth-rank evolver as captain, with over ten fifth-rank evolvers as members.


    They provide close protection for the peak master.


    This bodyguard team is absolutely loyal, personally selected by the Star Lord of Red Kun, and will not have any rebellious intentions.


    As for the three life-savingmand tokens, they are unique to Lin Yuan; none of the other twelve senior brothers have received such treatment.


    These threemand tokens are personally crafted by the Star Lord of Red Kun. Once Lin Yuan encounters insurmountable danger, the tokens will activate automatically.


    Cann Star.


    In the central maind manor.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    "This is too exaggerated."


    Lin Yuan eximed.


    Through the introduction of Third Senior Brother Gu Ze, Lin Yuan roughly understood the treatment of bing a disciple of the Star Lord of Red Kun.


    It mainly consists of five aspects:


    Status: As the thirteenth peak master, Lin Yuan''s status in the Red Kun lineage is second only to the Star Lord. On par with the other twelve peak masters, as long as the conditions are met, he can mobilize the army of evolvers from the Red Kun lineage.


    ess to various evolutionary paths recorded by the Red Kun lineage. This is most important for Lin Yuan. ording to the collection of the Red Kun lineage, Lin Yuan will hardlyck evolutionary paths toprehend before reaching the sixth rank.


    Ability to apply for Red Spirit Liquid. This helps Lin Yuan save a lot of money.


    Possession of a bodyguard team led by a sixth-rank evolver.


    Three life-savingmand tokens.


    "Made a big profit."


    Lin Yuan felt delighted.


    No wonder the Goddess of Wisdom advised him to go all out in thepetition.


    The rewards indeed far exceed the effort.


    What Lin Yuan didn''t know was that the Goddess of Wisdom didn''t predict that he would be a disciple of the Star Lord of Red Kun.


    If he were just a peak master''s disciple, his treatment and status would naturally be greatly discounted.


    "Now that the bodyguard team should have set off, it will take at least one or two months to travel from the Red Kun main star to Cann Star even through the wormhole."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Since the bodyguard team is meant to protect him, they will apany Lin Yuan wherever he goes.


    "As a disciple of the Star Lord, as long as I don''t say it, the Star Lord doesn''t say it, the several senior brothers don''t say it, and the three goddesses don''t say it, no one will know."


    Before participating in the Seven Star Cave test, Lin Yuan changed his appearance and physique.


    Even Fang Qing didn''t recognize him.


    Several dayster.


    Fang Qing came excitedly.


    "Brother Lin, I''ve been epted into the Red Kun lineage!"


    Fang Qing''s tone was exhrated as he shared this good news with Lin Yuan.


    Not long after Lin Yuan left the Seventh Star Cave, Fang Qing sessfullyprehended the evolutionary path within the stone statue and passed the test.


    In fact, there are quite a few Silver Mark evolvers who passed the Seven Star Cave test each time.


    Of course,pared to the vast number of Silver Mark testers, the probability of ultimately passing the test is extremely low.


    Although Fang Qing is a Silver Mark tester, as a descendant of a fallen sixth-rank powerhouse, he is at least stronger than most Silver Mark testers, if not close to the gold-lined level.


    Moreover, with an intelligent being behind the scenes, it is not surprising for him to pass the Seven Star Cave test.


    "Congrattions."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    "A few more days, and the Seven Star Cave test will be over."


    "By then, I will meet the various peak masters of the Red Kun lineage along with other testers who passed the test, as long as I can be epted by one of the peak masters."


    Fang Qing couldn''t help but fantasize.


    The peak masters of the Red Kun lineage are all far superior in strengthpared to the same rank, not to mention that three of them are even beyond the sixth rank.


    Even when his teacher was alive, he was far from being as strong as the peak masters of the Red Kun lineage.


    "The various peak masters?"


    Lin Yuan fell into a short contemtion.


    Shouldn''t he be considered one of the peak masters of the Red Kun lineage now?


    Thinking of this, Lin Yuan looked at Fang Qing with a somewhat strange gaze.


    Perhaps Fang Qing could not even dream that the revered and awe-inspiring peak master of the Red Kun lineage he looks up to... is right in front of him.

 Chapter 106

    Chapter 106


    Discord Server: https://discord.gg/hPxxHTeyFy


    ...


    The Red Kun Lineage, with its twelve peak masters, stands high above, overlooking the entire Red Kun Star Domain.


    Even among the many surrounding star domains, the Red Kun Lineage is extremely dominant. The strength of the Red Kun Star Lord is formidable, even among other star lords.


    As long as Fang Qing can be epted as a disciple by one of the peak masters, he can at least roam freely within the Red Kun Star Domain. What Fang Qing doesn''t know is that the peak masters of the Red Kun Lineage are no longer twelve, but thirteen.


    However, the fact that Lin Yuan became the thirteenth disciple of the Red Kun Star Lord has not been made public yet; only the Star Lordand the twelve peak masters know.


    Lin Yuan estimates that even if it were to be made public before reaching Rank 6, it would not be under the identity of "Lin Yuan."


    "Oh right. Brother Lin, how did your test go?" Fang Qing curiously asked. He had been too preupied with expressing his excitement and had forgotten to ask about Lin Yuan''s progress in the test.


    "I didn''t pass" Lin Yuan said calmly. With his identity as the peak master of the thirteenth peak, it was impossible for him to "acknowledge" Fang Qing in the early stages.


    It''s not that Lin Yuan doesn''t trust Fang Qing. Well, actually, Lin Yuan doesn''t fully trust Fang Qing. It''s not about doubting Fang Qing''s loyalty but rather about certain information that should not be shared.


    A Rank 6 Soul Illusion-type evolver can roughly browse through someone''s memories with just a nce, so caution is necessary.


    Even the Red Kun Star Lord has repeatedly reminded Lin Yuan about this matter, so Lin Yuan naturally knows what to do. He won''t even tell his parents, let alone Fang Qing, anything.


    However, Lin Yuan is only hiding this aspect of his identity; he still enjoys many benefits as a peak master. The numerous evolution paths recorded by the Red Kun Lineage?


    These are pathways that members of the Red Kun Lineage need to pay a price to ess, but as a peak master, Lin Yuan can browse them freely.


    "Rank 6?" Lin Yuan''s gaze remained calm. If it were before participating in the Seven-Star Cave test, Lin Yuan might have had doubts about reaching Rank 6. But now, Lin Yuan is almost certain that he can advance to Rank 6.


    With over a hundred Rank 6 evolution paths, sixt paths surpassing Rank 6, and the "Mysterious Yellow" evolution path that has never beenprehended by evolvers in thousands of years, these are all significant advantages for Lin Yuan.


    After chatting for a while, Fang Qing left. On his way back to his own mansion, Fang Qing looked puzzled.


    "How could Brother Lin not pass the test?"


    To be honest, Fang Qing would rather believe that he himself didn''t pass the test than believe that Lin Yuan couldn''t pass it.


    After all, after these days of interaction and sparring, Fang Qing feels that even if he were to train diligently for another hundred years, he might not be able to catch up to Lin Yuan now.


    Such talent would shine brightly even in the entire Red Kun Star Domain, so how could it be possible that he couldn''t pass the Seven-Star Cave test?


    "It is indeed strange," the white-bearded old man''s voice rang out.


    "But it''s not impossible."


    The white-bearded old man analyzed seriously. "In the history of the Seven-Star Cave test, apart from the Crimson Marks, and a few special testers, even Golden Marks have been eliminated in rare cases."


    Of course, the probability of a Golden Marksbeing eliminated midway through the test is extremely low, but it''s not impossible. If one''s luck is too bad and they die in the early stages of the test, they are naturally eliminated.


    "There is another possibility," the white-bearded old man continued. "That is, Lin Yuan intentionally did not pass the Seven-Star Cave test."


    "Intentionally not pass the test?" Fang Qing''s eyes widened. Who would reject such a good opportunity?


    "Fang kid," the white-bearded old man nced at Fang Qing. "Being epted as a disciple by a peak master of the Red Kun Lineage has its benefits, but it also has its drawbacks."


    "In addition to receiving the protection of the peak master, you must also serve the Red Kun Lineage, obey the orders of the peak master, and even have the possibility of going to battlefields against other races," the white-bearded old man said.


    In general, the Red Kun Star Lordis always in seclusion and does not deal with mundane matters. The entire Red Kun Lineage mostly serves the twelve peak masters.


    At the Central Mansion on the maind:


    In the underground training ground beneath the main building, Lin Yuan sits cross-legged, beginning to continueprehending the "Mysterious Yellow" evolution path.


    This evolution path is too profound and vast. Lin Yuan has beenprehending it for nearly ten days, but has only understood about one percent of the first-ranksection.


    Far surpassing all the evolution paths Lin Yuan has encountered before.


    "Mysterious Yellow?" Lin Yuan''s mind sinks entirely into it.


    In a trance, Lin Yuan finds himself on an endlessnd.


    A heavy, ancient, and vast atmosphere envelops him.


    [Your Unrivaled Insight is increasing as youprehend the "Mysterious Yellow" evolution path.]


    Lin Yuan is increasingly shocked as heprehends under his extraordinary insight.


    "What kind of existence is this, creating such an evolution path? Can my martial arts evolution path, my Tao of Tai Chi, one day reach this level?"


    Two dayster.


    Lin Yuan stoppedprehending.


    "Only two percent?" Lin Yuan roughly sensed the progress of hisprehension. This two percent doesn''t refer to two percent of the "Mysterious Yellow" evolution path.


    But rather two percent of the first-rank section of the Mysterious Yellow evolution path.


    "No rush, I have plenty of time now," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    A Rank 4 evolver can live for six thousand years, while a Rank 6 evolver can live anywhere from twenty thousand to fifty thousand years.


    Lin Yuan is still young, only twenty years old. In the face of such long lifespans, he''s barely even considered an infant.


    Moreover


    Lin Yuan''s time is far more than just the surface numbers.


    The transmigrations through the Gateway of the Myriad Realms and the passage of time in other worlds are not included.


    "Rank 4, Stage 11."


    Several dayster, Lin Yuan opened his eyes again, and his aura rose once more.


    The breakthrough in strength did not surprise Lin Yuan; with hisprehension of multiple evolution paths, if he couldn''t break through, it would be better to just die.


    Inhale.


    Exhale.


    After the breakthrough, Lin Yuan''s realm improved, and his body naturally began to absorb the energy in the air, slowly undergoing transformation.


    "Calcting the time, it should be a little over a month before the escort team arrives."


    Lin Yuan didn''t rush to purchase rare cosmic treasures to facilitate his physical transformation.


    As a disciple of the Red Kun Star Lord and the thirteenth peak master of the Red Kun Lineage, Lin Yuan has the authority to apply for "Red Spirit Liquid."


    This time, as the escort team departed from the Red Kun Main Star, Lin Yuan had applied in advance for a pot of Red Spirit Liquid to be brought over by the escort team.


    One to two monthster.


    Outside the Cann Star.


    A dark-colored spacecraft came to a stop.


    "We''ve finally reached our destination."


    Inside the spacecraft''s cockpit sat thirteen figures.


    These thirteen figures exuded a deep aura, especially the one in the lead, whose presence seemed to solidify the surroundings.


    "We''vee this time to protect the thirteenth peak master."


    "If anything happens to the thirteenth peak master, there''s no need for us to continue existing, understand?"


    The leader of the group was a middle-aged man with a bald head, gazing at the distant Cann Star as he spoke slowly.


    "Understood."


    The twelve figures behind him all spoke in unison.


    They were carefully selected by the Red Kun Star Lordand were absolutely loyal; otherwise, they wouldn''t be serving as the thirteenth peak master''s personal guards.


    At the Central Mansion.


    Just as Lin Yuan finished his cultivation, he received news of the escort team''s arrival.


    "Goddess of Wisdom, I have subordinates who need to enter the Cann Star."


    Lin Yuan connected to the Goddess of Wisdom and spoke directly.


    After all, Rank 6 lifeforms, also known as "Falling Star Level" beings, if they enter with ill intentions and erupt suddenly, even theary defense system won''t have time to react.


    It would result in a catastrophe.


    Therefore, every Rank 6 lifeform needs to report beforending on a. Otherwise, once discovered, it would lead to a sector-wide wanted alert.


    After going through multiple authorizations by the Goddess of Wisdom, Lin Yuan''s escort team finally passed the checkpoint and arrived outside the Central Mansion.


    In the main hall.


    The thirteen members of the escort team stood respectfully in front of Lin Yuan.


    "Peak Master."


    The bald-headed middle-aged man at the front bowed and saluted.


    "Peak Master."


    The other twelve fifth-rankguards behind him also saluted respectfully.


    "You may rise."


    Lin Yuan curiously looked at the bald-headed middle-aged man. He should be the captain of the guard, a sixth-rankevolver.


    To be honest, this is the first time Lin Yuan has seen a sixth-rankexistence up close.


    "What''s your name?"


    Lin Yuan asked.


    "Peak Master, my name is Hou Ming."


    The bald-headed middle-aged man said softly.


    Next.


    Lin Yuan asked for the names of the other twelve guards one by one.


    "From now on, you will be the guardians of this mansion."


    "Unless absolutely necessary, do not reveal your true strength."


    After some contemtion, Lin Yuan gave his instructions.


    With his current status, even if his identity as a disciple of the Red Kun Star Lordis not publicly known, he is still the champion of the arena and a Rank 4 evolver. Having some guards is quite normal.


    Of course, this is only limited to normal guards.


    If others were to find out that the guards Lin Yuan hired were fifth or sixth-rank evolvers...


    Currently on the Cann Star, the strongest evolvers are only fifth-rank, numbering no more than five.


    These fifth-rankevolvers can only be fully mobilized by the Goddess of Wisdom.


    As for sixth-rank evolvers, the Cann Star, being a medium-level life, cannot attract evolvers of this rank.


    "Also, from now on, don''t call me Peak Master. Just call me Mr. Lin."


    Lin Yuan said.


    Although the title of Peak Master is difficult to associate with the peak masters of the Red Kun Lineage, as long as these thirteen guards do not reveal their true strength, there shouldn''t be a problem.


    But for some things, it''s better not to leave any traces.


    "Yes, Mr. Lin."


    Hou Ming, the bald-headed middle-aged man, immediately said.


    "From now on, I will be stationed in the main hall, and the others will patrol the mansion."


    Hou Ming inquired.


    "No problem."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    Since the Red Kun Star Lordhas assigned them to be Lin Yuan''s escort team, it''s clear that there''s some level of trust. So, Lin Yuan tries not to intervene too much in how they protect and arrange things.


    "This is the Red Spirit Liquid Mr. Lin requested."


    Hou Ming took out a pot-shaped container.


    "These are the life-savingmand tokens given to Mr. Lin by the Star Lord."


    Hou Ming''s expression was solemn as he presented three crimson tokens.


    "Okay."


    Lin Yuan put it away.


    "We''ll leave now."


    Immediately, the bald-headed middle-aged man Hou Ming led the twelve guards out of the main hall.


    In the underground training ground.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    In front of him was a pot-shaped container containing "Red Spirit Liquid."


    "Red Spirit Liquid"


    Lin Yuan''s face showed anticipation.


    Third Senior Brother spoke highly of this kind of spirit fluid.


    However, since Red Spirit Liquid is unique to the Red Kun Lineage, Lin Yuan has never tried its effects.


    "Let''s give it a try."


    Lin Yuan opened the mouth of the pot, and a drop of Red Spirit Liquid floated out.


    This drop of Red Spirit Liquid emitted a red light, and Lin Yuan could feel the immense energy contained within just by looking at it.


    "Here we go."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts moved slightly.


    The drop of Red Spirit Liquid flew into his mouth.


    Boom.


    As the fluid entered his throat, it immediately turned into scorching energy, being absorbed by every cell in Lin Yuan''s body.


    Although Red Spirit Liquid is named after "red" its energy attributes are extremely gentle,cking the fiery and impetuous nature of fire energy.


    Not to mention that Lin Yuan''s Martial Path, which he founded, includes the Path of the Sun. Even without including it, he can easily absorb this drop of Red Spirit Liquid.


    "The transformation isplete."


    After a moment, Lin Yuan opened his eyes, with a satisfied expression on his face.


    "This pot of Red Spirit Liquid is enough for me to use until Rank 6."


    Lin Yuan looked at the pot-shaped container in front of him and solemnly put it away.


    "Three life-savingmand tokens?"


    Lin Yuan took out three crimson tokens and observed them carefully.


    These three tokens arepletely unique to Lin Yuan. None of his previous twelve disciples, or even junior disciples who realized the "Mysterious Yellow" evolution path thousands of years ago, have ever had them.


    "Although they are all life-savingmand tokens, they have three different uses."


    Lin Yuan''s mind probed into the tokens and silently thought to himself.


    The first token is a teleportation token.


    Once Lin Yuan is subjected to an irresistible attack, this token will automatically activate and tear through space, randomly teleporting him.


    The second token is an attack token.


    It is activated by Lin Yuan himself.


    Once crushed, it will form a terrifying strike that a Rank 6 evolver can barely withstand.


    Even evolvers beyond Rank 6 need to be cautious. A slight mistake could result in serious injury.


    As for the third token, it is a defense token.


    It can form a defensive barrier around Lin Yuan.


    Blocking all attacks, including spiritual and physical attacks.


    This token is also the most important because once activated, the Red Kun Star Lordwill immediately know and rush over at the fastest speed.


    "Teacher''s consideration is really thoughtful."


    Lin Yuan silently thought to himself.


    With a team of guardsposed of sixth-rankevolvers and these three life-savingmand tokens.


    It would be difficult for Lin Yuan to die even if he wanted to.


    Of course.


    Such life-saving measures.


    It''s best not to use them if possible.


    Currently, Lin Yuan''s external identity is just the champion of the arena.


    It''s not worth it for outsiders to use too much effort.


    At most, they might secretly influence, just like with "Yao Qingqing" before.


    Time passed.


    Another month passed.


    In the underground training ground.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    His aura began to rise once again.


    ...

 Chapter 107

    Chapter 107


    "Fourth Rank, Twelfth Stage."


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.


    Benefiting from the trial of the Seven Star Cave, Lin Yuan barely wasted any time at the Fourth Rank, Eleventh Stage.


    In just under two months, he smoothly advanced into the Fourth Rank, Twelfth Stage.


    The Fourth Rank, Twelfth Stage, belonged to the pinnacle of the Fourth Rank, reaching its limit at this stage.


    "Next, it should be the Fifth Rank."


    Lin Yuan''s expression became slightly solemn.


    Even though he was confident in his heart, breaking through to the Fifth Rank was still not an easy task.


    Even for evolvers with aplete evolutionary path to guide them, there were still various risks during a breakthrough in the grand realm.


    Like failure?


    Like demonic possession?


    Like exploding and dying?


    Moreover, Lin Yuan was paving the way for the future. Even with his Unrivaled Insight to assist him, it was definitely not going to be smooth sailing.


    "In fact, the best approach is to utilize the Gate to the Myriad Realms to cross through different worlds,plete the progress to the Fifth Rank in those other realms, confirm there are no issues, and then have the main world''s avatar follow suit."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The consciousness transmigration function of the Gate to the Myriad Realms mainly served three purposes.


    One was to sense the evolutionary paths and cultivation essence of other worlds.


    Secondly, by leveraging different time flows, it elerated cultivation speed.


    And thirdly, it was for trial and error.


    The evolution of life was never fixed. Even with the same evolutionary path, different people''s cultivation could lead to different results.


    But once traversed, subsequent traversals would naturally be familiar.


    Using the Gate to the Myriad Realms for consciousness transmigration to explore the risks of the subsequent evolutionary paths in other worlds.


    This was ''trial and error''.


    In fact, virtual worlds also had a ''trial and error'' function.


    But it definitely couldn''tpare to the consciousness descent of the Gate to the Myriad Realms.


    After all, the former was just virtual; no matter how ''realistic'' it was, it was still fake.


    "There''s still half a month before the fourth transmigration."


    Lin Yuan''s mind went deep into thought, gazing at that huge, towering light gate.


    At this point, the outer perimeter of this light gate was almost filled, with only about one-fifth remaining dormant.


    "I wonder what the world of the fourth transmigration will be like."


    Lin Yuan was slightly curious.


    The only drawback of the Gate to the Myriad Realms was its inability to autonomously select the traversed world.


    So far, all three worlds Lin Yuan had traversed were random, not chosen by Lin Yuan himself.


    "Wait."


    Lin Yuan suddenly had a thought.


    Perhaps it wasn''t that Lin Yuan couldn''t actively choose or limit the traversed worlds.


    It was that currently, the functionality of the Gate to the Myriad Realms hadn''t been fully developed.


    The illumination of the Gate to the Myriad Realms was divided into three levels.


    The outer perimeter, the inner perimeter, and the core area.


    By lighting up the outer perimeter, Lin Yuan could perform consciousness descents.


    By lighting up the inner perimeter, Lin Yuan could choose to traverse physically.


    As for lighting up the core area, Lin Yuan only knew that this area involved the ability to bring back items from other worlds to the main world.


    As for more, he was not very clear because it had never been lit up.


    "The core area."


    Lin Yuan''s face fell into brief contemtion.


    The time it took to light up the core area was too long, probably requiring hundreds or even thousands of years.


    However, in the future, when Lin Yuan encountered a major bottleneck and couldn''t progress no matter how he traversed, he could try waiting for hundreds or thousands of years to light up the core area and see the effect.


    Whether he could actively choose the traversed world or lock onto a world that met his requirements before transmigration.


    Breaking through to the Fourth Rank, Twelfth Stage, Lin Yuan decided to take a rest.


    Just as he was about to leave the training ground, he found someone contacting him.


    "Third Senior Brother?"


    Lin Yuan nced at the contact and found that it was his third senior brother, Gu Ze, calling him.


    Whoosh.


    Lin Yuan connected to the virtual world, appearing in his personal space.


    Then he agreed to let his third senior brother in.


    Hum.


    Third Senior Brother Gu Ze smiled at Lin Yuan.


    "Junior Brother."


    Gu Ze was in a good mood, saying, "How''s your recent cultivation going? The guard team should have arrived by now."


    "It''s been alright."


    "It''s been a while since they arrived."


    Lin Yuan politely replied.


    "Junior Brother, are you really not nning toe to the main star of the Red Kun? I can personallye to pick you up." Third Senior Brother Gu Ze asked:


    "With a teacher presiding over the main star, it''s much safer than other ces."


    "My current strength is still weak. I''ll go after reaching the Sixth Rank. With the guard team and the life-savingmand token bestowed by the teacher, it''s the same anywhere."


    Lin Yuan shook his head.


    In reality, this was just Lin Yuan''s excuse.


    The main star of Red Kun was the most prosperous ce in the RedKun Star Domain.


    Powerful evolvers were everywhere, and Sixth Rank Fallen Star evolvers were no longer so rare.


    Especially with the presence of the RedKun Star Lord, such a powerful figure.


    However, the more so, the more cautious Lin Yuan had to be.


    After all, he couldn''t guarantee that the Gate to the Myriad Realms in the depths of his mind could escape the perception of the Red Kun Star Lord.


    The virtual world couldn''t replicate the Gate to the Myriad Realms in his mind at all, but in reality, there was no guarantee that the Red Kun Star Lord wouldn''t notice it.


    Of course.


    Lin Yuan also understood that the Red Kun Star Lord probably wouldn''t detect the presence of the Gate to theMyriad Realms.


    But it was still better to keep a card up his sleeve.


    "True." Third Senior Brother Gu Ze didn''t think much about it. He actually felt that Lin Yuan''s consideration was thorough. With his status, if he suddenly left the main star of RedKun, he would definitely attract attention from those with ill intentions.


    Even if he left secretly, he might not be able to hide from everyone.


    If other forces were to find out that he specifically went to Cann Star, it was highly likely that his true identity as Junior Brother would be exposed.


    Compared to the guard team secretly cultivated by the RedKun Star Lord, Third Senior Brother Gu Ze was much more conspicuous.


    "There''s one more thing."


    Third Senior Brother Gu Ze said, "We''ve already announced that the RedKun lineage will have a thirteenth Peak Master."


    "As for your identity, it''s a genius discovered by the teacher during his travels across the universe, brought back to the main star, and cultivated for several years before being revealed."


    Third Senior Brother said.


    "Understood."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    This exnation waspletely to protect him.


    Setting the time a few years ago was to prevent others from thinking about this cohort of thepetition.


    "Since our Red Kun lineage has produced a new Peak Master, we will naturally hold a celebration ceremony. At that time, both the RedKun Star Domain and the surrounding star domains will have forcesing to participate in the congrattions."


    "Of course, all of this will take ce in the virtual world. Junior Brother, remember to show up at that time."


    Third Senior Brother Gu Ze smiled and said, "Speaking of which, it''s been a long time since we held a decent ceremony. Junior Brother, you can have a good experience then."


    "Okay."


    Lin Yuan said.


    After all, it was in the virtual world, where appearance and form could be changed at will, and others couldn''t possibly know his true identity.


    With the public emergence of several Peak Masters of the RedKun lineage.


    The news of the Red Kun Star Lord epting a new disciple spread like a hurricane, quickly spreading throughout the RedKun Star Domain and many surrounding star domains.


    The RedKun Star Lord already had a great reputation, and his strength was formidable. It was hard to imagine how many people were paying attention to him.


    RedKun Star Domain, the of high-level lifeGuangqu Star.


    The Guangqu Family.


    As the most powerful force on the of high-level life, even the entire was named after the family name. The Guangqu Family had more than one Fallen Star powerhouse.


    "The RedKun Star Lord epted a new disciple?"


    "The thirteenth Peak Master of the RedKun lineage?"


    The patriarch of the Guangqu Family, Guangqu Han, looked at the intelligence in front of him, lost in thought.


    He remembered that tens of thousands of years ago, his father, a powerful Fallen Star evolver who once shook the surrounding star domains, took him, then a young and terrifyingly talented child, and went to the main star of Red Kun, wanting to ask the Red Kun Star Lord to ept him as a disciple.


    But before he could even see the RedKun Star Lord, he was thrown out.


    This incident had a great psychological impact on Guangqu Han. Before that, Guangqu Han''s talent was extremely outstanding and was hailed as a peerless genius once in ten thousand years on Guangqu Star.


    "A celebration ceremony."


    Guangqu Han looked at the time of the RedKun lineage''s celebration ceremony.


    With the intention to participate personally.


    One was to see for himself what kind of person this thirteenth Peak Master, who had caught the eye of the RedKun Star Lord, was.


    The second was that since the Red Kun lineage was the most powerful force in the RedKun Star Domain, holding a celebration ceremony, the Guangqu Family naturally had to attend.


    DawnStar.


    The most powerful force, the DawnStar Society.


    "The RedKun Star Lord epted a disciple?"


    The head of the DawnStar Society tapped his desk with his right hand, a look of surprise on his face.


    "I thought the Star Lord wouldn''t have the intention of epting disciples." The head of the DawnStar Society thought silently.


    "Well."


    "I''ll attend the celebration ceremony this time."


    "It''s also a good opportunity to catch up with a few old friends."


    The head of the DawnStar Society made up his mind.


    In addition, the Red Kun lineage had produced a new Peak Master, which might change the current situation of the RedKun Star Domain.


    He wanted to know what kind of person this thirteenth Peak Master was, in order to make ns for the future.


    On a prosperous main star.


    "Huh?"


    "That old guy from RedKun epted a new disciple?"


    A mysterious figure became interested. "Isn''t he afraid that his disciple will be assassinated by other races again?"


    As he spoke, this mysterious figure seemed to realize something. "Well, since he dares to do it publicly, he must be prepared and won''t repeat the scene from ten thousand years ago."


    The appearance of the thirteenth Peak Master of the RedKun lineage continued to spread.


    Numerous powerful evolvers and vast forces participated in the celebration ceremony of the RedKun lineage.


    After all, the scope of the ceremony was in the virtual world. Even if they were far apart, they only needed to spend money to teleport.


    If it were held in reality, many evolvers and forces might want to participate, but their conditions might not allow it.


    "Do you know where the new disciple epted by the RedKun Star Lordes from?"


    "Yeah, where does hee from? With the status of the Star Lord, he shouldn''t ept disciples, right?"


    "I heard he was discovered as a genius on some barbaric during the Star Lord''s travels through the universe."


    "Tsk tsk, to be called a ''genius'' by the Star Lord, how extraordinary must his talent be?"


    "Could it be one of those legendary bloodline physiques of our human race?"


    Countless evolvers discussed endlessly, constantly exploring the background of the new disciple epted by the Star Lord.


    There was no way around it; this matter was too rare, a great event that only happened once every ten thousand years.


    In the virtual world, the main star of RedKun.


    In the main hall of the thirteenth Peak, Lin Yuan sat with his twelve senior brothers.


    Below the main hall were countless figures, densely packed, all from various parts of the universe to congratte Lin Yuan.


    "Junior Brother, that person is from the Gongzhi Family and has considerable strength. We fought each other years ago."


    "Junior Brother, the person sitting in the fourth row is not from the human race. He''s an alien who has surrendered to our human race and has been with us for millions of years. Now, he''s considered one of us."


    "Junior Brother."


    From early in the morning until now, several senior brothers asionally introduced Lin Yuan. The RedKun Star Domain was too vast, with over a million life-bearings. Given this immense scale, one could imagine the number of evolversing to celebrate.


    If it weren''t for the senior brothers setting a series of conditions for participating in the celebration ceremony, the number of people appearing now would probably be tenfold or a hundredfold more.


    Lin Yuan nodded continuously beside him.


    He could feel the enthusiasm of his senior brothers.


    The RedKun lineage was extremely united, and the twelve senior brothers were very clear that as long as Lin Yuan didn''t die prematurely, for the incredibly long period of time toe, they would all be brothers.


    In the Cosmic Human Alliance, the rtionship between senior brothers was possibly even higher than that of blood rtives.


    After all, blood rtives might die of old age, but senior brothers were generally of simr status and lifespan, able to apany each other for a long time.


    Now Lin Yuan was still weak, but he believed that in the near future, he would definitely catch up to them, or even surpass them.


    In the hall below.


    In a certain corner.


    Fang Qing sat with several other evolvers who had just joined the RedKun lineage.


    "Is that the thirteenth Peak Master?" Beside Fang Qing, a delicate woman asked curiously.


    "He looks quite young. I wonder if I can join his sect." The delicate woman said softly.


    As soon as this was said, the other people''s eyes lit up.


    Although the thirteenth Peak Master had the weakest strength and the weakest foundation,pared to the vast number of disciples under the previous twelve Peak Masters, it was actually easier to stand out by joining the thirteenth Peak Master''s sect because there was lesspetition.


    Moreover, by following the thirteenth Peak Master when he was weak, they would be ''elders'' in the future when he became powerful.


    At that time, they would be the foundation of blessings for future generations.


    "Thirteenth Peak Master." Fang Qing swept his eyes around and looked at the incredibly lively ceremony, feeling a little lost in his heart.


    "If Brother Lin had also passed the test, we could be sitting together drinking now." Fang Qing reminisced about Lin Yuan and suddenly emptied the wine in his ss.


    "All right."


    Just then.


    The eldest senior brother in the hall stood up, walked to the front of the hall, and looked down at the countless evolvers who hade to congratte them.


    "Now, let''s congratte Junior Brother, congratte the thirteenth Peak Master."


    The voice of the eldest senior brother reached everyone''s ears.


    Immediately.


    Countless people stood up.


    They raised the wine sses in their hands and looked at Lin Yuan sitting on the seat in the hall.


    Among them were the heads of forces from certain high-level lifes, powerful evolvers, and heirs of huge consortiums.


    But at this moment, all eyes were on Lin Yuan.


    Because they all knew that from now on, the RedKun Star Domain would have one more high-ranking figure.


    "To the Thirteenth Peak Master!"


    "To the Thirteenth Peak Master!"


    "To the Thirteenth Peak Master!!"


    Countless voices rang out, deafening.

    Discord Server: https://discord.gg/hPxxHTeyFy


    ...


    Human territory border.


    This is a silent void of stars.


    For tens of light-years in all directions, there are no resources or life-bearings.


    Just then, three immense consciousnesses pierced through the stars and descended to this ce.


    "Are we all here?"


    "Let''s talk about the matter at hand now."


    The three immense consciousnessesmunicated quickly and soonpleted the exchange of intelligence.


    These three immense consciousnesses came from different groups and were responsible for the internal intelligence summary of the human race.


    There was no way around it; the pressure the human race exerted on neighboring groups was too great. Even the once arrogant insect race was forced to form alliances with other groups to collectively resist the humans.


    "By the way," the first immense consciousness to speak emitted a sound, "the Red Kun Star Lord recently took in a disciple, we need to pay attention to this."


    The Red Kun Star Lordwas extremely skilled at teaching his disciples. Among the twelve disciples he had taken in, three had surpassed Rank Six, a terrifyingly high probability.


    Since the incident where his former young disciple was assassinated ten thousand years ago, the Red Kun Star Lordhad be disheartened and had not taken in any more disciples. This time, making an exception to take in a disciple, clearly indicated high expectations.


    "I''ve heard about this too. That little disciple''s potential and talent should be quite impressive, otherwise, the Red Kun wouldn''t have taken him in. What should we do now? Put this person on the assassination list?"


    The second immense consciousness spoke.


    Rather than waiting for this little disciple to grow up, it would be better to snuff him out while still in the cradle.


    "Put him on the assassination list? What good would that do even if we did? Do you know his identity?"


    The third immense consciousness spoke up.


    At this, the other two immense consciousnesses fell silent.


    Indeed.


    So far, they knew very little about the new disciple the Red Kun Star Lordhad taken in.


    "Externally, the Red Kun lineage ims that this little disciple was discovered by the Red Kun during his travels in the universe on a certain, brought back and cultivated for several years before being made public."


    "I don''t think this is very likely."


    "Not long ago, the Red Kun Star Lordopened the Seven Star Cave for the trials, and then announced that he had taken in a disciple. The timing of these two events seems too coincidental."


    The thoughts of the three immense consciousnesses turned rapidly, quickly linking the new disciple with the recent tournament.


    "The Seven Star Cave trials?"


    "As far as I know, the candidates selected for the Seven Star Cave trials by the Red Kun Star Lord came from the 120,000 life-bearings in the Dawn Gxy."


    "More than 1.2 million candidates entered the Seven Star Cave world."


    "Do you intend to put all 1.2 million evolvers on the assassination list?"


    The second immense consciousness spoke.


    What did assassination mean?


    To assassinate one or two people, that''s called assassination.


    To assassinate one or two million people, that''s called massacre.


    If the alien races had such strength, why would they form alliances? They could simply wipe out human civilization directly.


    "Indeed."


    The other two immense consciousnesses also found it troublesome.


    Even if this little disciple came from the Seven Star Cave trials, it was only their spection. Even if this spection were true, there was no way to proceed to the next step.


    The scope was just toorge.


    Of course, with the strength of the alien races, if they truly didn''t care about the consequences, let alone one million two hundred thousand evolvers, they could wipe out the entire Dawn Gxy.


    But then they would have to pay an even greater and more uneptable price.


    "Let''s forget about it."


    "Let''s see how things develop."


    After discussing for half a day, the three immense consciousnesses decided to hold off on taking any action for now.


    Ten thousand years ago, the little disciple of the Red Kun Star Lordhad voluntarily revealed himself.


    If this little disciple were to leak any information in the future, they could still act.


    Even if he didn''t leak any information.


    At most, there would be one more Rank Six existence.


    It wouldn''t have much impact on the overall situation of the war between the human race and the surrounding alien races.


    Cann Star.


    "I should be attracting attention from the alien races by now, shouldn''t I?"


    Sitting in the underground training ground, Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The celebration held by the Red Kun lineage had caused quite a stir.


    Countless evolvers and major forces were paying attention, and those alien races must have noticed too.


    Of course, even if the Red Kun lineage didn''t hold a celebration, they might not have escaped the scrutiny of the alien races. If they tried to be secretive, it would only attract even greater attention from the alien races.


    Since that was the case, it would be better to show himself openly. After all, the alien races didn''t know Lin Yuan''s true identity.


    Lin Yuan predicted that the alien races would most likely associate him with the Seven Star Cave trials conducted by the Red Kun Star Lord.


    But that would be the extent of it. With 1.2 million candidates entering the Seven Star Cave, it was impossible to single him out.


    Even if they did manage to single him out and try to assassinate him, with the protection of Hou Ming, a Rank Six evolver bestowed by the Red Kun Star Lord, there wouldn''t be much of a threat.


    Lin Yuan felt that the alien races probably wouldn''t send a beyond Rank Six existence to assassinate him, even if they learned of his true identity.


    After all, in the eyes of outsiders, even if he was epted as a disciple by the Red Kun Star Lord, his ultimate limit would be the same as that of the eldest senior brother, the second senior brother, and the third senior brother.


    It''s not worth sacrificing an assassin beyond Rank Six.


    Within the human territory, as long as the alien races dare to assassinate, the assassins are basically unable to escape.


    It''s essentially a one-for-one exchange.


    "Continue practicing."


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes and resumed his training.


    No matter when, the most important thing was one''s own strength.


    Without strength, everything was just empty talk. Even with the protection of the Star Lord, one would still face the limit of lifespan. Only by constantly bing stronger and breaking through, could one continue to exist.


    "The Path of Mysterious Yellow Evolution."


    After two or three months of enlightenment, Lin Yuan''s progress in the first stage of the Path of Mysterious Yellow Evolution had reached one-tenth.


    "What kind of evolution path is this? I have Unrivaled Insight, and yet I''mprehending it so slowly. For other evolvers, even if they are extremely suitable for practicing this path, it would still be extremely difficult toprehend itpletely, right?"


    Lin Yuan wondered.


    "Could it be thatprehending this evolution path requires a specific method? Or some kind of auxiliary means or item?"


    Lin Yuan silently pondered.


    The Red Kun Star Lorddid not provide detailed information about the Path of Mysterious Yellow Evolution to him, saying to focus on secluded cultivation for a period of time and discuss itter aftering out of seclusion.


    "Let''s stopprehending for now."


    "Let''s integrate the Path of Martial Arts Evolution."


    Lin Yuan collected his thoughts. Now that he had reached Rank Four, Stage Twelve, and basically reached the end of the Rank Four realm, he had the confidence to organize the ''Rank Four'' of the Path of Martial Arts Evolution.


    Reviewing the path he had walked in the past was of great help to Lin Yuan. Under the enlightenment of Unrivaled Insight, new inspirations were constantly bursting forth every moment.


    Half a dayter.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes again.


    "It''s almost done."


    Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.


    The ''Rank Four'' of the Path of Martial Arts Evolution had been basicallypleted.


    "Goddess of Wisdom."


    Lin Yuan connected to the Goddess of Wisdom and nned to upload the ''Rank Four''.


    As a disciple of the Star Lordand the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun lineage, Lin Yuan did not give up on uploading subsequent evolution paths. Firstly, because he would earn merit points as well as arge share of the profits.


    For every citizen of the Human Alliance who purchased the Path of Martial Arts Evolution, Lin Yuan would receive thirty percent of the proceeds.


    This kind of ie was continuous and would increase as the Path of Martial Arts Evolution became more and more popr.


    Secondly, as Lin Yuan joined the Red Kun lineage, he came into contact with more and more information and realized that publicly spreading and disseminating the evolution paths he opened seemed to have deeper significance.


    Take the ''Ancient God'' evolution path for example.


    Those ''Ancient Gods'' in the depths of space were born at the beginning of the universe. Their existence was lofty and free from the entanglements of factions.


    Even so, these ''Ancient Gods'' still spread the evolution paths that imitated themselves.


    The official exnation given by the Human Alliance was that evolvers who practiced the ''Ancient God'' evolution path to a deep level might be the vessels for the descent of that ''Ancient God''.


    But would such weak vessels for descent really be meaningful to the ''Ancient Gods''?


    Anyway, no matter how you looked at it, even the ''Ancient Gods'' were doing their best to spread their evolution paths.


    Lin Yuan continued to improve the Path of Martial Arts Evolution, expanding its dissemination range. Regardless of whether there were any benefits, there certainly weren''t any drawbacks.


    Buzz!


    Along with Lin Yuan''s rapid upload of the contents of the ''Rank Four''.


    In a mysterious space thousands of light-years away from the Cann Star.


    Numerous massive light screens flickered rapidly, and massiveputational power crazily evaluated and deduced the value of the Path of Martial Arts Evolution ''Rank Four''.


    The ''Rank Four'' uploaded by Lin Yuan was mainly divided into two parts.


    One was the higher manifestation of the rules contained within a hundred items in the Divine Weapon World, which represented a deeper understanding than the ''Rank Three''.


    The other was the more than one hundred evolution pathsprehended in the Seven Star Cave world, as well as the vast and obscure ''Mysterious Yellow'' evolution path.


    "Detecting that the ''Rank Four'' involves a deeper level of rules, beginning to reevaluate the potential of the Path of Martial Arts Evolution."


    "Evaluationpleted. The current Path of Martial Arts Evolution has a hundred percent chance of advancing to the Rank Five Evolution Path, a ny percent chance of advancing to the Rank Six Evolution Path, and a ten percent chance of advancing to the Rank Seven Evolution Path."


    "The Path of Martial Arts Evolution has the possibility of advancing to Rank Seven, triggering Article Thirteen of the Charter."


    "Relevant ns generated, all human citizens with the ID number 123******, their confidentiality level is raised, and the Founder''s virtual world is activated."


    "Beginning to evaluate the value of the Rank Four. One hundred thousand merit points, do you want to seek authorization from the highest citizen nearby? Not necessary."


    After uploading the ''Rank Four'' of the Path of Martial Arts Evolution.


    Lin Yuan began to contemte the path of the subsequent Rank Five level.


    ording to the standards set by human civilization, Rank Five evolvers were already considered the strongest beings on the surface of the. A full-force attack from them would be enough to tear apart the earth''s crust and cause numerous natural disasters to ur.


    Rank Five evolvers can annihte all life on a habitable within a short period of time.


    That''s why Rank Five evolvers are also known as ''Land-Sinking Level''.


    The strongest evolvers on medium-sized habitables generally stop at Rank Five.


    As for Rank Six? Unless there are special reasons, very few Rank Six beings would stay on a medium-sized habitable for a long time.


    "Respected citizen Lin Yuan, after final evaluation, the ''Rank Four'' you uploaded is worth one hundred thousand merit points."


    Just then, the solemn and chilly voice of the Goddess of Wisdom sounded.


    "One hundred thousand merit points?"


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    Although it was expected, receiving such high praise from the Goddess of Wisdom still made Lin Yuan feel pleased.


    One hundred thousand merit points.


    This meant that the value of the ''Rank Four'' surpassed thebined value of the ''Rank One'', ''Rank Two'', and ''Rank Three'' that Lin Yuan uploaded directly.


    One hundred thousand merit points. In the border battlefield of the Human Alliance, Lin Yuan wondered how many Rank Five or Rank Six aliens he would have to y to earn such a huge number of merit points.


    "Let me check the updated information on the Path of Martial Arts Evolution."


    Lin Yuan opened thework panel and checked the column for the Path of Martial Arts Evolution.


    "A ten percent chance of advancing to the Rank Seven?"


    Lin Yuan was certain.


    After absorbing the essence of more than one hundred Rank Six evolution paths, sixteen transcendent Rank Six evolution paths, and one undetermined ''Mysterious Yellow'' evolution path.


    If there was still no hope of advancing to the Rank Seven Evolution Path for the Path of Martial Arts Evolution, Lin Yuan really didn''t know how to advance to Rank Seven.


    "Not in a hurry, not in a hurry."


    Lin Yuan calmed himself.


    Although the current Path of Martial Arts Evolution only had a ten percent chance of advancing to the Rank Seven.


    That was because the Path of Martial Arts Evolution currently only reached the ''Rank Four''.


    When Lin Yuan opened up the ''Rank Five'' and ''Rank Six'' in the future, the chances of advancing to the Rank Seven would definitely increase significantly.


    This was also the experience Lin Yuan summarized after uploading the ''Rank One'', ''Rank Two'', ''Rank Three'', and ''Rank Four''.


    When he uploaded the ''Rank Two'', the chances of advancing to the Rank Six were very slim.


    But now there was a ny percent certainty of advancing to Rank Six.


    "Now, the ranking of the Path of Martial Arts Evolution."


    Lin Yuan''s heart stirred.


    When he uploaded the ''Rank Three'', the Path of Martial Arts Evolution had topped the Evolution Rankings, bing the first.


    But this ''first'' referred to being first in the Cann Evolution Rankings.


    Those surpassed by Lin Yuan were all evolution paths born on Cann Star.


    As for beyond Cann Star, the Dawn Gxy, and even the Red Kun Star Domain. At least when Lin Yuan uploaded the ''Rank Three'', it didn''t rank on the Star System Evolution Rankings or the Star Domain Evolution Rankings.


    Lin Yuan didn''t find this strange.


    When he uploaded the ''Rank Three'', the maximum potential of the Path of Martial Arts Evolution was the Rank Six.


    The number of Rank Six beings falling to Cann Star might be extremely rare on a medium-sized habitable like Cann Star, but it was rtivelymon in the entire Red Kun Star Domain.


    After all, the number of Rank Six Fallen Stars was there for all to see. Since they were Rank Six evolvers, what they cultivated must be Rank Six evolution paths, or even evolution paths transcending Rank Six.


    "The Path of Martial Arts Evolution ranks one hundredth in the Red Kun Star Domain Evolution Rankings."


    Lin Yuan was slightly surprised to see the ranking of the Path of Martial Arts Evolution.


    In the top one hundred of the Red Kun Star Domain Evolution Rankings were all Rank Six evolution paths, and the top fifty were simply Rank Seven evolution paths. Although the Path of Martial Arts Evolution also had the potential to transcend Rank Six, it was still not a Rank Six evolution path.


    "The ranking of evolution paths on the Evolution Rankings is determined based on various factors, including potential. The Path of Martial Arts Evolution, with a ten percent chance of advancing to Rank Seven at the Rank Four Chapter, obviously surpasses many veteran Rank Six evolution paths in terms of potential."


    Lin Yuan spected inwardly.


    After viewing thetest ranking of the Path of Martial Arts Evolution.


    Lin Yuan then saw additional permissions granted after uploading the ''Rank Four''.


    Activating the Founder''s virtual world permission.


    "Founder?"


    Lin Yuan became interested.


    The founders here should be the founders of various evolution paths currently being developed.


    For human civilization, these founders were like national treasures, and their identity information was considered top secret.


    And the Founder''s virtual world should be a ce for these founders tomunicate and discuss.


    Thinking of this, Lin Yuan immediately activated the permission and entered the Founder''s virtual world.

    ...


    Red Kun''s main star virtual world.


    Central za Area.


    For anyary-level virtual world.


    The central za area is always the most prominent ce.


    Because here stands the magnificent and tall Evolutionary Ranking, gathering the most powerful hundred evolutionary paths born from the millions of lifes in this star domain.


    Even though the poprity of the arena area soared due to the arena matches, as the arena matches ended, the central za area once again became lively.


    However, on this early morning.


    The hundredth rank of this star domain-level evolutionary ranking quietly changed its evolutionary path.


    "What the hell."


    "Quick, look, the ranking has changed."


    Immediately, some evolvers noticed this and erupted in discussion.


    Although it''s only the hundredth rank, it''s worth noting that this is the star domain-level evolutionary ranking. Each path listed on it has emerged from countless evolutionary paths.


    To be able to rank in the top hundred of the Red Kun Evolutionary Ranking, even as the hundredth, signifies possessing the most top-notch sixth-rank evolutionary path, with hopes of ascending to the seventh rank.


    "The Martial Dao Evolutionary Path? What kind of evolutionary path is this?"


    "My god, this evolutionary path is only a fourth-rank evolutionary path?"


    "A fourth-rank evolutionary path surpassing a bunch of sixth-rank evolutionary paths to enter the Red Kun Evolutionary Ranking?"


    Countless people in the za were astonished.


    The scope of the Red Kun Evolutionary Ranking epasses the entire Red Kun Star Domain.


    Therefore, the rankings on the evolutionary ranking often change.


    After all, facing such arge poption base, the probability of producing top-notch sixth-rank evolutionary paths is greatly increased.


    But even if it changes, even if it enters the top hundred of the evolutionary ranking, it should still be a sixth-rank evolutionary path.


    What kind of ghost is a fourth-rank evolutionary path?


    It''s as if a group of students who have just entered a higher education institution, all around eighteen or neen years old, more or less the same age.


    But suddenly, in the midst of the crowd, there appears a child who is eight or nine years old, making the other students somewhat embarrassed.


    "The evolutionary ranking will definitely not be wrong. It has been audited by the three goddesses multiple times, which means that this fourth-rank evolutionary path indeed surpasses those top sixth-rank evolutionary paths inprehensive evaluation."


    "Let me see."


    "The Martial Dao Evolutionary Path."


    Immediately, someone couldn''t resist and began to retrieve more information about the Martial Dao Evolutionary Path.


    "Well, the Martial Dao Evolutionary Path originated from the Cann, an ordinary medium-life in the Dawn Star System."


    "Wow, when the Martial Dao Evolutionary Path first appeared, it was only at the first rank, and then it would update subsequent ranks every six months."


    "From the first rank to the current fourth rank, the Martial Dao Evolutionary Path has existed for no more than five years."


    "Moreover, the Martial Dao Evolutionary Path, which is only a fourth-rank evolutionary path, actually has the possibility of ascending to the seventh rank?"


    "Boss, this must be the research result of some senior evolutionary schr in our Human Alliance."


    In the za, although countless evolvers and high-level citizens were arguing, they shared amon view.


    That is, the founder who opened up this evolutionary path must be a high-ranking evolutionary schr.


    Here, there is amon knowledge that must be poprized.


    Generally speaking.


    The founders who open up a certain evolutionary path are divided into two categories.


    The first type is to cultivate while opening up, like Lin Yuan, who opens up the evolutionary path to whatever realm he cultivates.


    However, such founders are extremely rare.


    As for the second type, they are those high-ranking evolvers who are already schrs. They have a broad view and develop new evolutionary paths.


    Thetter is the mainstream among the founders of evolutionary paths in the Human Alliance.


    After all, high-ranking evolvers creatingpletely new evolutionary paths, whether from experience or efficiency, have significant advantages.


    For example, those teachers in schools, even if they are just basic primary school teachers, their qualifications are at least university level, or even doctoral students in research institutes.


    Under a broad perspective, it''s easier to discover and solve problems.


    It''s precisely because of thismon knowledge.


    At this moment, the vast majority of people in the za believed that the Martial Dao Evolutionary Path was established by some senior evolutionary schr.


    After all, the interval between the first and fourth ranks was too short.


    And it''s extremely regr.


    It''s just like those knowledgeable evolutionary schrs, releasing their research results regrly.


    "I want to see for myself why this evolutionary path, based solely on the first to fourth ranks, can crush those top sixth-rank evolutionary paths."


    "Yes, I''ve already purchased the entire path and am studying it carefully."


    "I''ve finished reading it. I''ve decided to let my son cultivate this path. After all, it''s from the hands of an evolutionary schr, so there will definitely be more toe."


    In the maind manor of Cann Star.


    Lin Yuan is exploring the "Founder''s Virtual World."


    The Founder''s Virtual World is divided into two modes.


    One is the virtual world, simr to the virtual worlds of various majors.


    However, the prerequisite for entering the Founder''s Virtual World is that one must also be a founder.


    And the evolutionary path established must have the possibility of ascending to the seventh rank.


    In addition to this, if what is established is not an evolutionary path but other important research results, as long as they meet the standards, they can also enter the Founder''s Virtual World.


    Without meeting the above requirements, one does not have the privilege to enter this world.


    This has led to very few people in the Founder''s Virtual World.


    Although there are quite a few seventh-rank evolutionary paths in human civilization, over the long years, most of their founders have died for various reasons.


    It''s easy to imagine the number of living founders.


    And most founders are immersed in various kinds of research and usually don''t bother to wander around in the virtual world.


    So there is a second mode of the Founder''s Virtual World.


    Forum mode.


    This mode is extremely primitive.


    Each founder can post their own opinions or questions on the "forum" forter generations to ponder or answer.


    Lin Yuan spends most of his time browsing the "forum" mode.


    After all, he''s just a neer to the Founder''s Virtual World.


    "It''s too profound."


    Lin Yuan looked for a while and was quite amazed.


    The "posts" on the forum are varied.


    There are "possibilities of going to higher-dimensional worlds."


    There are "how many methods are there for an eighth-rank evolver to ascend to a ninth-rank evolver."


    "How to transnt those peak bloodlines in the universe, such as Star-Sea Kun, into the human race."


    Lin Yuan looked around and felt that he was still too youngpared to those founders who had lived for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years. At present, he didn''t have any noteworthy achievements to speak of.


    "This question."


    Suddenly, Lin Yuan''s expression paused.


    It stopped at a particr ''post.''


    The description of this post was simple.


    It was about whether high-level evolvers were better off fullyprehending one rule orprehending multiple rules at the same time.


    An evolver''s energy and time are limited.


    There are benefits toprehending one rule deeply, just as there are benefits toprehending multiple rules. The former allows one to understand a single rule to a deeper level, while thetter, the collision of multiple rules, may bring additional surprises.


    Lin Yuan looked through the answers below the ''post.''


    The earliest answer was from twenty-three thousand years ago.


    The gist was that fullyprehending one rule was better.


    There were subsequent answers as well.


    Some evolvers believed thatprehending multiple rules had broader prospects.


    For more than twenty thousand years, people had been asionally responding below, engaging in ''debates.''


    "I can answer this."


    Lin Yuan rubbed his chin, looked for a while, and finally saw something he understood.


    After pondering carefully for a moment, Lin Yuan also responded below:


    "Toprehend a certain rule, and then use this to govern myriad rules."


    The principle behind Lin Yuan''s establishment of The Tao of Tai Chi was this.


    Regardless of what level Lin Yuan would cultivate to in the future, the foundation would always be the fusion of Yin and Yang into Tai Chi.


    Beyond the foundation, there were no limits to the techniques Lin Yuan mastered.


    Because Lin Yuan couldprehend various rules, and all rules were supplementing The Tao of Tai Chi.


    Tai Chi gives birth to all things.


    With Tai Chi, govern myriad rules.


    After browsing for a while longer, Lin Yuan exited the Founder''s Virtual World.


    "Huh?"


    "So many fourth-rank books sold?"


    Lin Yuan nced at the ''distribution'' situation and found that in just a few hours, nearly a hundred copies of the fourth-rank book he had just uploaded had been sold.


    Lin Yuan''s pricing for the fourth-rank book was fifty million civilization coins.


    Currently, the people practicing the Martial Dao Evolutionary Path:


    First rank: twenty-six thousand, seven hundred and eighty-three people.


    Second rank: three hundred and ny-four people.


    Third rank: zero.


    "Not bad."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    When he uploaded the third-rank book, there wasn''t a single person practicing the second rank.


    In just over half a year, nearly four hundred people had stepped into the second rank.


    Lin Yuan spected that this might be due to the further spread of the Martial Dao Evolutionary Path. The citizens practicing the Martial Dao Evolutionary Path had quite good conditions themselves, so they progressed so quickly.


    Although the Martial Dao Evolutionary Path doesn''t rely much on external resources and environment.


    But that refers to being able to practice this evolutionary path even without good resources or environment.


    If there are more resources to use, it will definitely elerate the progress of martial arts practice.


    "A hundred thousand merit points can raise the citizen level one to level five."


    Lin Yuan nced at his own merit points.


    Hundred and forty-nine thousand merit points.


    And to promote from level four citizen to level five citizen requires fifty thousand merit points.


    "Promote."


    Lin Yuan didn''t hesitate and directly chose to promote.


    After a few breaths, Lin Yuan sessfully promoted to a level five citizen.


    Compared to level four citizens, level five citizens have more privileges.


    Among them is the ability to mobilize a fleet of warships to protect their safety.


    "Warship fleet?"


    Lin Yuan looked at the many additional privileges he had gained.


    As long as Lin Yuan is willing now, he can summon a fleet of warships from the main star of the Dawn Star System to station outside Cann Star for a long time, to protect himself.


    "Never mind."


    "It''s not meaningful."


    After thinking for a while, Lin Yuan decided not to use this privilege.


    Nowadays, he has a sixth-rank evolver and twelve fifth-rank evolvers to protect him, as well as three life-savingmand tokens bestowed by the star lord.


    Bringing in a fleet of warships wouldn''t make much sense.


    And it''s easy to attract the attention of others.


    After all, themotion caused by a fleet of warships would be much greater than when Hou Ming and the others came.


    It''s hard to hide.


    Time passed.


    Ten dayster.


    Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.


    "I can proceed with the fourth transmigration now."


    Lin Yuan''s spirits were slightly lifted.


    At this moment, deep in his mind, the majestic and magnificent light gate hadpletely lit up its outer perimeter.


    This meant that Lin Yuan could proceed with the fourth transmigrationat any time.


    "Let''s try again."


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness gathered in front of the light gate, while at the same time, a thread of his consciousness dispersed outside the light gate.


    This allowed Lin Yuan to obtain preliminary information about the world he would transit to.


    During the third transmigration, Lin Yuan used this method to learn in advance that the transmigrated world was rted to ''warfare'', as well as details such as the approximate world flow rate.


    After a moment, the thread of Lin Yuan''s consciousness entered the light gate.


    Boom.


    This thread of consciousness arrived in a vast world.


    This world was probably ten timesrger than the Divine Weapon World. From afar, it was divided into five continents, each continent containing dozens of Cann-sized stars.


    "War and chaos."


    "Famine and disaster."


    Vaguely, Lin Yuan sensed boundless warfare and cmity emanating from this world.


    In the next instant, this thread of consciousness turned into powder.


    Outside.


    Lin Yuan''s face fell into contemtion.


    Through the brief contact just now, Lin Yuan received some information about the world he was about to transmigrate to.


    Firstly, the duration of stay.


    For this transit, Lin Yuan''s duration of stay would be two hundred years.


    Secondly, the time flow rate. During the two hundred years of transit, only half a month would pass in the main world.


    "Two hundred years."


    The duration of stay for this transit was slightly longer than that of the Divine Weapon World, butpared to the previous transmigrated worlds, the increase was lower.


    "Warfare?"


    "Cmity?"


    Lin Yuan thought of the aura he had sensed just now.


    Next, Lin Yuan informed the captain of the Sixth-Rank Guardian Squad, Hou Ming, that he would be in seclusion for half a month and not to be disturbed by anyone.


    Then he went to the nutrient chamber.


    "These threemand tokens."


    Lin Yuan ced the three life-savingmand tokens securely by his side before lying down in the nutrient chamber.


    Immediately, his consciousness returned to the depths of his mind.


    "New world, here Ie."


    Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, confirming that there were no other oversights. With a slight movement of his mind, the Gate of the Myriad Realms emitted a certain attraction force, drawing all of his consciousness into the gate.

 Chapter 110

    Chapter 110


    North Region, Great Abyss.


    The severe winter imprisoned everything, turning dripping water into ice.


    This is the ce where a generation''s great demon was suppressed, ever since five years ago when the great demon Xiahou Yuan was defeated by Tianjianzi''s hand, he was sealed here.


    Tianjianzi,passionate towards the heavens and people, even though the great demon Xiahou Yuan was excessively evil, he was the leader of countless demons in the Five Realms.


    Still, he didn''t deliver the killing blow.


    Eighteenyers beneath the ground of the Great Abyss, a thin figure sat there.


    The bones of his chest were pierced by ck chains, and his limbs were also bound by chains.


    All the chains were covered with intricate patterns, vaguely isting the heavens and the earth, suppressing everything.


    "Big Brother Xiahou, I''m sorry!"


    "Qing''er, why did you, why did you betray me? What benefits are there in siding with Tianjianzi? Can he give you a position above all living beings?"


    "Big Brother Xiahou, it''s not true, I''m not your ''Qing''er'', the descendants of the Bai family have long been extinct, I only borrowed the bloodline of the Bai family to get close to you, my real name is not ''Bai Qing''er''."


    "Do you remember when you were chased and gravely injured, on the brink of death, it was I who saved you, it was I who reinvigorated your body and spirit."


    "Big Brother Xiahou, that''s also not true, the people who chased me back then were all acting for your benefit."


    "When you cultivated and went astray, I used rare fruits of heaven and earth to prolong your life."


    "All fake, I deliberately went astray to make you discover that my bloodline aura is rted to the Bai family, so that you would mistakenly believe that I am a descendant of the Bai family."


    "I bestowed upon you the title of Demon Queen, able tomand the leaders of the demons in the Five Realms, above all living beings."


    "Big Brother Xiahou, you are the demon king, the source of chaos in the world. Because of you, the leaders of the demons in the Five Realms gathered together. If you don''t die, it will be the death of all beings!"


    Eighteenyers beneath the ground of the Great Abyss, Xiahou Yuan sat there, all the past like scenes shing rapidly through his mind.


    No one knew that the background of the great demon Xiahou Yuan was very ordinary, born in an ordinary vige.


    When Xiahou Yuan was ten years old, he identally entered a cave and obtained a legacy of demonic cultivation.


    However, when Xiahou Yuan returned to the vige, he found that the entire vige had been ughtered by passing demons.


    Since then, Xiahou Yuan has stoodpletely opposed to the demons.


    Xiahou Yuan''s cultivation aptitude was extremely high. With just that demonic legacy, he cultivated to the fourth realm.


    During this period, Xiahou Yuan was also relentlessly hunting down various major demons.


    But soon, Xiahou Yuan discovered that demons could not be exterminated.


    Even if all the demons in the world were wiped out, in fifty or a hundred years at most, a new batch of demons would arise.


    Because the demonic cultivation method, even though fraught with dangers,pared to the cultivation methods of the righteous path, was like taking a shortcut.


    As long as living beings exist, there will be those who cannot control themselves and embark on the path of demonic cultivation.


    So Xiahou Yuan thought of another way.


    Since demons couldn''t be exterminated, then be the strongest demon oneself.


    Then, "establish rules" for the demons of the world, so as to limit the harm caused by demons to a stable range as much as possible.


    However, Xiahou Yuan overlooked the forces of the righteous path.


    Just as Xiahou Yuan was constantly consolidating the demons of the Five Realms, in the eyes of the forces of the righteous path, he became a thorn in their side.


    Originally, the demons of the Five Realms were scattered and posed no significant threat to the forces of the righteous path, even if they died, they only killed ordinary civilians.


    But now, with the demons of the Five Realms about to be united, how could they allow that?


    So there was the earth-shattering battle between the righteous and demonic forces five years ago.


    Originally.


    With Xiahou Yuan''s strength.


    Even if he lost, he could still escape unscathed.


    But he overlooked ''Qing''er'', who had been with him for decades.


    "Qing''er."


    In Xiahou Yuan''s silent gaze, a trace of tenderness emerged.


    Even though betrayed by ''Qing''er'' and ending up in his current situation, Xiahou Yuan still never harbored resentment towards ''Qing''er''.


    "I just don''t know, after I''m gone, will the world be peaceful?


    Xiahou Yuan''s breath became weaker and weaker.


    His dantian was sealed, his primordial spirit was suppressed, coupled with losing the will to survive, Xiahou Yuan''s vitality was rapidly fading away.


    As his end seemed imminent.


    Silently.


    A consciousness descended.


    Lin Yuan was slightly stunned, immediately feeling the endless pain emanating from the position of his chest''s xylophone bones and his limbs.


    "What kind of start is this?"


    Lin Yuan took a light breath, only feeling the pain increase several times.


    This made Lin Yuan dare not move, even breathing became cautious.


    Soon.


    Lin Yuan quickly browsed through Xiahou Yuan''s memories.


    "One of the world''s top experts, one of the most likely to break through to the Ninth Realm, ended up like this after being defeated in a major battle five years ago? "


    "If it weren''t for me, Xiahou Yuan would have died just now, right?" Lin Yuan felt the extreme weakness of his flesh.


    "But since I''m here, everything will be different. This is going to be interesting."


    Outside the Great Abyss.


    More than ten patrollers took a turn, finding no anomalies, and gathered together to chat.


    The North Region was already a cold and harshnd, and the Great Abyss was even more so, deserving the title of a forbidden zone for life.


    Who would stay in such a ce if not for the sake of guarding the great demon Xiahou Yuan sealed below?


    In fact, to say they were guarding was just for show, to confirm whether Xiahou Yuan, imprisoned below, was alive or dead.


    The prison of the Great Abyss, people from outside couldn''t enter, and people from inside couldn''t leave.


    "It''s worthy of Xiahou Yuan, it''s been five years and he''s still not dead."


    Among the more than ten guards, a man with triangr eyes eximed.


    Although they didn''t dare to enter the eighteenyers beneath the ground, they had the means to confirm Xiahou Yuan''s life or death.


    This was thest resort left when Tianjianzi sealed Xiahou Yuan here years ago.


    "I heard that five years ago, Xiahou Yuan and Tianjianzi''s battle was earth-shattering, and in the end, Tianjianzi used the ultimate skill of the Tianjian Sect to defeat Xiahou Yuan''s demonic true body."


    Another guard whispered.


    Surrounded by this frigidnd, their only pleasure was discussing the legendary great demon Xiahou Yuan.


    After all, he was right beneath their feet.


    "I''ve heard another version, saying that the ''Queen'' by Xiahou Yuan''s side was actually Tianjianzi''s childhood sweetheart, and it was because of this ''Queen''s'' betrayal that Xiahou Yuan was defeated and sealed."


    The third guard couldn''t help but speak up.


    "Impossible."


    "Tianjianzi is such a figure? He holds sway over the righteous path, how could he resort to such methods?"


    "Indeed, I also find it impossible. Even if Tianjianzi defeated Xiahou Yuan, he didn''t kill him, but sealed him here to linger on."


    "In the face of Xiahou Yuan, such a wicked demon, Senior Tianjianzi still harbored apassionate heart, how could he possibly resort to such despicable means?"


    One guard after another expressed their opinions, many of them highly ''admiring'' Tianjianzi and naturally unwilling to allow others to have such ''insights''.


    "Compassionate?"


    "Pitying the heavens and the people?"


    "All bullshit!"


    Eighteenyers beneath the ground, Lin Yuan''s face showed a hint of mockery.


    The reason Tianjianzi didn''t kill him was solely because of Xiahou Yuan''s mastery of a demonic technique


    The Art of Separating the Soul from the Body.


    This demonic technique was simr to possession.


    After the physical body dies, the soul would fly out.


    Seeking a suitable host to inhabit.


    The soul is the confluence of spiritual energy and soul, not a physical entity, so it''s difficult to control or deal with.


    In the battle five years ago, if Tianjianzi had killed Xiahou Yuan, it would have been difficult to stop Xiahou Yuan''s soul from escaping.


    But letting Xiahou Yuan''s soul go was equivalent to fighting for nothing. In fifty or a hundred years, Xiahou Yuan would fully recover his strength ande back.


    So, Tianjianzi came up with a method.


    That is to seal Xiahou Yuan''s physical body, trapping his soul within it, and then suppress his physical body beneath the Great Abyss.


    Wanting to slowly torture Xiahou Yuan to death.


    This method was indeed effective, just five yearster, Xiahou Yuan couldn''t hold on anymore.


    If it weren''t for Lin Yuan''s arrival, he would probably have died by now.


    "Qing''er."


    After watching Xiahou Yuan''s memories, Lin Yuan discovered the culprit behind Xiahou Yuan''s current fate.


    In fact, even if betrayed by ''Qing''er'', with Xiahou Yuan''s abilities, there was a good chance he could have escaped.


    At most, he would have paid a higher price.


    It''s just that at the time, Xiahou Yuan was utterly despondent, and ''Qing''er''s'' betrayal shattered his state of mind, so he didn''t put up any resistance.


    "Foolish."


    "Such a strong person, actually swayed by such low-level emotions."


    Lin Yuan frowned.


    During his prime, Xiahou Yuan was a peak Ninth Realm expert.


    And at the peak of the Ninth Realm, it''s almost equivalent to a Fourth Rank Evolver in the main world.


    If Xiahou Yuan had a strong will to survive five years ago, it''s highly unlikely he would have been suppressed here, and Lin Yuan wouldn''t be in his current predicament.


    "Forget it."


    Lin Yuan started to ponder.


    The Great Abyss is an extremely magical ce, not only a forbidden zone for ordinary people but also for powerful cultivators.


    Because the deeper into the Great Abyss, the more the powers possessed by cultivators would be suppressed. The eighteenyers of the Great Abyss are enough to reduce Seventh and Eighth Realm experts to mere mortals.


    Of course.


    For Lin Yuan, these were not a problem.


    What really made it difficult for Lin Yuan were the six ck chains that sealed his body.


    These six ck chains were forged from the essence of the deep sea''s millennium-old fine gold. Even a Ninth Realm expert would find it difficult to destroy them.


    Moreover, on the surface of the fine gold, there were inscriptions of Tianjian Sect''s heritage.


    Just these six ck chains alone firmly suppressed Lin Yuan.


    The slightest movement would result in endless pain.


    In addition to the chains, Lin Yuan''s physical body and soul were also sealed byyers of secret techniques.


    The reason Tianjianzi dared to seal Xiahou Yuan beneath the Great Abyss was because he was certain there was no possibility of escape.


    "So many sealing techniques, Xiahou Yuan really can''t break free."


    Lin Yuan sighed.


    But he wasn''t Xiahou Yuan. After thinking for a moment, Lin Yuan immediately came up with several methods.


    Firstly, it was to minimize the suppression of his body and soul by the six ck chains.


    Only in this way could Lin Yuan have a chance to regain his strength. As long as he returned to the Fourth Rank, even if he wasn''t at the Twelfth Stage, he would still have more than enough to leave the Great Abyss.


    "In the Swallowing Evolution Path, there is a method of ''devouring'' that can transform all kinds of energies in the world into one''s own."


    "I will use the Tao of Tai Chi to slowly devour the essence of the deep sea fine gold within the ck chains."


    "As long as the deep sea fine gold turns into scrap metal, the inscriptions on it will naturally lose their restraining effect on me."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    The Swallowing Evolution Path is a path beyond the Sixth Rank in the Seven Star Cave world.


    Extremely mysterious, it can influence the mind of an Evolver.


    But it must be said that this path of evolution is indeed powerful, even in such dire straits, Lin Yuan can still make it work.


    "Let''s begin."


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes, slowly circted the qi and blood in his body, enduring tremendous pain while slowly eroding the six ck chains.


    "With the most basic cirction of qi and blood, there really isn''t any bacsh from the sealing of the soul."


    Lin Yuan calmed his mind.


    His physical body and soul were both sealed byyers of secret techniques. As long as he exerted a little force, he would encounter bacsh.


    But now, just circting basic qi and blood, it obviously didn''t meet the requirements for bacsh.


    After all, the basic cirction of qi and blood is too widespread; as long as a person is alive and breathing, the qi and blood will slowly circte.


    At the time, Tianjianzi''s idea was to torture Xiahou Yuan to death, leaving a way out naturally.


    Outside the Great Abyss.


    Two guards were slowly approaching the entrance.


    These two guards, one big and one small.


    The big one was a middle-aged man with a full beard.


    The small one was barely twenty years old, with a hint of innocence on his face.


    "This is the Great Abyss? It''s terrifying."


    The smaller guard, named Zhao Si, was a Second Realm cultivator.


    At this moment, however, he looked grave, as if under immense pressure.


    They hadn''t even entered the Great Abyss yet, just approaching it, Zhao Si felt his qi and blood almost submerged. If it were an ordinary person, every step would be apanied by tremendous pressure.


    One can imagine.


    Being suppressed in the deepest part of the Great Abyss, the eighteenyers beneath the ground, Xiahou Yuan must endure how terrifying pressure every moment.


    "Lower your voice."


    The middle-aged man with a full beard beside him whispered.


    For some reason, the closer they got to the entrance of the Great Abyss, besides the physical pressure, they felt a kind of mental pressure.


    Perhaps it was because the legendary great demon was sealed inside.


    The power of a name.


    Even though five years had passed.


    Even though they knew that this legendary great demon was no longer what he used to be.


    Even though they could now trample this legendary great demon underfoot.


    But the fear and dread from the depths of their souls still remained.


    As if amb saw a tiger, even though the tiger was about to die of old age, it still dared not approach.


    After a moment.


    The two arrived at the entrance of the Great Abyss.


    They carefully looked at the entrance.


    On the ck stonentern.


    A me was burning slowly inside.


    "Xiahou Yuan is alive."


    The middle-aged man with the full beard spoke.


    Thisntern was left by Tianjianzi and can constantly sense Xiahou Yuan''s life status in the eighteenyers beneath the ground.


    If Xiahou Yuan diespletely, his soul extinguished.


    The me inside thentern will be extinguished.


    But now the me is still burning.


    It means Xiahou Yuan is not dead.


    "Not dead."


    Zhao Si next to him shrank his head.


    He couldn''t imagine how Xiahou Yuan had managed to survive in the deepest part of the Great Abyss without any food supply.


    "Let''s go."


    The middle-aged man with the full beard confirmed the status of thentern and immediately led Zhao Si back.


    Just like that.


    In the blink of an eye, ten yearster...

    Chapter 111


    [Name: Xiahou Yuan (Lin Yuan)]


    [Identity: Keeper of the Gate of the Myriad Realms]


    [Bound Talent: Unrivaled Insight]


    [Current Status: Consciousness Descended]


    [Remaining Residency Time: Two hundred and ny years]


    The Great Abyss, eighteen levels underground.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes, scanning the illusory characters below his line of sight.


    Unbeknownst to him, Lin Yuan had already been conscious in this realm for ten years.


    During these ten years, Lin Yuan hadn''t moved a muscle, dedicating all his efforts to wearing down the six ck chains shackling his body.


    As for why he hadn''t starved to death in this realm''s cultivation system, upon reaching the seventh realm, one could absorb the essence of heaven and earth, achieving a state of fasting.


    Though the essence of heaven and earth within the Great Abyss was extremely scarce, it still existed. Coupled with Lin Yuan''s consciousness descending, starvation was naturally out of the question.


    Furthermore.


    Tianjianzi would not allow Xiahou Yuan to starve to death.


    The death of the physical body did not signify the demise of the soul.


    Only if Xiahou Yuan actively sought death would he truly perish.


    "It''s been ten years."


    Lin Yuan sighed.


    "Finally, it''s done."


    Lin Yuan slowly rose to his feet.


    At the same time.


    The two ck chains piercing through Lin Yuan''s chest bone quietly disintegrated into dust.


    The other four ck chains binding his limbs also crumbled inch by inch.


    Over the course of ten years, Lin Yuan had never ceased to devour and erode the ck chains.


    Finally, today, hepletely resolved the suppression of his six ck chains.


    "Feels much freer."


    Lin Yuan took a deep breath.


    Having lost the suppression of the six ck chains, Lin Yuan finally dared to breathe deeply.


    "The transformation of my flesh due to the six thousand years'' Deep Sea Essence Gold is quite remarkable."


    A hint of surprise shed across Lin Yuan''s face.


    Through the devouring technique of the Swallowing Path, constantly converting the evolution within the Deep Sea Essence Gold, Lin Yuan''s physical body had improved significantly over the past ten years.


    This was quite an unexpected joy.


    Outside the Great Abyss.


    Numerous guards still hadn''t left.


    As long as Xiahou Yuan remained alive, these guardswouldn''t be able to depart.


    Of course, the guardswould rotate annually, and the Great Abyss, located in the frigid north, was the northernmost region within the northern territories.


    If it weren''t for the promised rewards from Tianjian Sect and the ability to rotate back home within a year, no cultivator would willinglye here.


    "Xiahou Yuan hasn''t died yet?"


    Outside the entrance, Zhao Si could now handle things on his own, bringing a new recruit guardsto inspect the stonenterns.


    When he noticed that the mes inside thenterns were still burning slowly after these past ten years, he couldn''t help but be amazed.


    Over the past ten years, he had already rotated three times, relying on guarding the Great Abyss to receive rewards from Tianjian Sect.


    Zhao Si had already reached the fourth stage/realm of cultivation.


    Nevertheless.


    Even though he was outside the Great Abyss.


    He still felt suppressed.


    Almost like an ordinary person, he had to take one step at a time.


    And now, after a full decade, that legendary demon lord, Xiahou Yuan, was still alive.


    If it weren''t for the fact that this stonentern was left by the number one powerhouse in the world, Tianjianzi.


    Zhao Si would almost suspect that something was wrong with thentern.


    "This Xiahou Yuan, back then, was a genuine scourge to the world, a true demon lord."


    Following convention, Zhao Si exined to the new recruit guard nearby just how wicked Xiahou Yuan was.


    "Uncle Zhao, do you think if Xiahou Yuan is suppressed here, the demonic forces across the Five Realms will behave and not cause chaos?"


    "But in recent years, there have been frequent traces of demons in my hometown, and several viges have been massacred."


    The new recruit guard expressed his confusion.


    From the ounts of his elders, he knew that over a decade ago, when the demon lord Xiahou Yuan was still around, the demonic forces across the Five Realms were unprecedentedly powerful, but such mass ughters were rare.


    "Well..."


    Upon hearing this, Zhao Si fell silent.


    It wasn''t just the new recruit who had this doubt.


    He had also heard of many such incidents.


    With the absence of Xiahou Yuan, the leader of the demonic forces.


    The demon lords across the Five Realms seemed to have lost their ''shackles.''


    They had gonepletely berserk.


    Of course.


    The righteous forces led by Tianjian Sect continued to dispatch disciples to eradicate these demon lords.


    But it didn''t have much significance.


    Even if the demon lords were wiped out.


    Often, several years or decadester.


    New demon lords would emerge.


    And most of these new demon lords were often the ones who had eradicated demon lords in the first ce.


    These individuals had obtained some demonic inheritance techniques. In the end, unable to resist the temptation, they began to practice them themselves.


    There was no other way.


    The cultivation methods of the demonic path were too alluring.


    It was almost like cheating.


    Normal cultivation methods required several years of hard work to advance from the first stage to the second stage, and one''s innate talent had to be good.


    But as for the demonic cultivation methods? No hard work or talent was needed.


    All one needed was the ability to kill.


    To the cultivators of the demonic path, the lifeblood and souls of living beings were like potent elixirs.


    "Don''t overthink it."


    "Now that these demon lords are so rampant, you can imagine, if Xiahou Yuan were still around, the situation would be ten times more perilous."


    Zhao Siforted.


    Rather thanforting the new recruit guard.


    It was more likeforting himself.


    A bold and reckless thought surged in his mind.


    Perhaps Tianjianzi shouldn''t have suppressed Xiahou Yuan back then.


    If Xiahou Yuan were still around, even if the situation in the Five Realms couldn''t be alleviated.


    It wouldn''t have worsened like it is now, right?


    Eighteen levels underground.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    "Next, it''s time to regain my strength."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    While the six ck chains were still present, both his flesh and soul were suppressed.


    Let alone cultivation, even the slightest movement would cause excruciating pain.


    But now, freed from the suppression of the six ck chains.


    Recovering strength was straightforward.


    Even though within the depths of the Great Abyss, where all methods withered away, ordinary cultivators at the seventh or eighth stage would have ny percent of their strength suppressed.


    But for Lin Yuan, it wasn''t difficult.


    Moreover, over the past ten years, while Lin Yuan had devoted all his energy to wearing down and devouring the ck chains, he hadn''t forgotten enlightenment.


    In ten years, Lin Yuan had already digested more than half of the over one hundred evolutionary paths in the Seven Star Cave World.


    Even the Mysterious Yellow Evolutionary Path had beenprehended to eight-tenths of its second-rank segment.


    "It''s a pity there are no special treasures to assist."


    Recovering strength wasn''t difficult; reaching the next realm was simply a matter of umting energy.


    If Lin Yuan could bring the pot of ''Red Spirit Liquid'' from the main world.


    He could recover to full strength in half a day or even a few hours.


    But without the ''Red Spirit Liquid'' or other rare treasures, he could only recover slowly and steadily.


    Of course.


    Lin Yuan''s ''slow recovery'' was inparison to using the ''Red Spirit Liquid.''


    Whenpared to other cultivators, or even those strange demon lords who could break through realms at will.


    In fact, the two couldn''t bepared at all.


    Time passed once again.


    Another ten years went by.


    In the northern region.


    On a hill near the Great Abyss.


    More than ten figures stood, gazing into the distance at the Great Abyss.


    "Respected one."


    The leader was a woman with a cold gaze, standing silently there.


    "Guardian Nuan."


    At this moment, a figure dressed in ck hurried over.


    And respectfully said to the woman, "The Demon Lord Moyang said he''s facing pursuit from Tianjian Sect and can''t join us in time."


    "This guy."


    There was a hint of killing intent in the Guardian Nuan''s eyes.


    Facing pursuit from Tianjian Sect? With Moyang''s strength at the ninth stage, if he really wanted to escape, unless Tianjianzi joined forces with more than a dozen other righteous ninth-stage experts and set up a killing formation, they wouldn''t be able to touch him at all.


    "When the respected one was present, these demon lords were all eager to serve, willing to die for the respected one. But now that Tianjianzi, that despicable person, has sealed the respected one, they don''t even think of rescuing him."


    The Guardian Nuan''s face was angry, but she sighed inwardly.


    People in the demonic path were all selfish and self-serving. Expecting them to rescue Xiahou Yuan for nothing was simply unrealistic.


    But the Guardian Nuan knew that Moyang owed Xiahou Yuan several great favors back then. Logically speaking, he should at least show some consideration.


    "It''s all because of that vile woman Bai Qing''er. I reminded the respected one many times back then to be wary of her."


    The Guardian Nuan knew the ins and outs of the earth-shaking battle between righteousness and evil twenty-five years ago. If it weren''t for Bai Qing''er''s betrayal, it wasn''t certain who would have won.


    "We can''t wait any longer."


    "Even if Moyang isn''t here, I must try again."


    The Guardian Nuan made up her mind.


    It had been twenty-five years since Xiahou Yuan was sealed underground in the Great Abyss.


    During such a long time, the Guardian Nuan truly worried that Xiahou Yuan wouldn''t hold out much longer.


    Outside the Great Abyss.


    Zhao Si and the other guardswere patrolling.


    At this moment.


    More than ten figures were quickly rushing towards them.


    Even though they were subject to a certain degree of suppression near the Great Abyss.


    These figures'' speed was still extremely fast.


    "Not good."


    "It''s those remnants of the demonic path again."


    Zhao Si, with his rich experience, immediately understood what was happening.


    Xiahou Yuan being sealed underground in the Great Abyss wasn''t a secret.


    This led to a group of demonic path remnants attempting to rescue him every once in a while.


    "Demonic path remnants?"


    The new recruit guard beside him shivered.


    Just as he was about to gather his courage and go stop the approaching demonic path remnants.


    "What are you doing?"


    Before this new recruit guard could rush out.


    He was pulled back by Zhao Si.


    "Huh?"


    A thousand questions arose in the new recruit guard''s mind.


    "These remnants of the demonic path are reckless and don''t fear death. Do you want to go up there and throw your life away?"


    Zhao Si quickly led all the guardsto retreat.


    Once they reached a safe location.


    Zhao Si stopped.


    Looking into the distance at the entrance to the Great Abyss,


    At this moment, the group of demonic path remnants was already standing outside the entrance to the Great Abyss, trying various methods.


    "Uncle Zhao, are we just going to watch from here?"


    The new recruit guard beside him found it hard to ept.


    "Don''t worry, they can''t break open the entrance to the Great Abyss."


    Zhao Si remained calm.


    Such incidents urred every few years.


    However, the Great Abyss was built by Tianjianzi and many other righteous experts.


    Xiahou Yuan was sealed in the underground depths of the Great Abyss.


    From the first level of the entrance to the deepest eighteenth level.


    Each level''s gate was cast from mysterious gold.


    And the deeper the gate, the stronger it was.


    For years, no matter how these demonic path remnants tossed about.


    They couldn''t even break open the gate of the first level, let alone rescue Xiahou Yuan.


    "I''ve already contacted Jiang Jianke. In half an hour at most, he will arrive."


    Zhao Si continued.


    Jiang Jianke was a eigth-stage expert specially responsible for guarding the Great Abyss.


    However, due to the extreme suppression around the Great Abyss, Jiang Jianke usually stationed himself a hundred miles away from the Great Abyss.


    Otherwise, Jiang Jianke couldn''t cultivate normally.


    If anything happened in the Great Abyss, Zhao Si only needed to contact him ording to the agreed method.


    Jiang Jianke would arrive in a very short time.


    Outside the entrance to the Great Abyss.


    The Guardian Nuan took out a gourd and poured the thick liquid inside onto the entrance gate.


    Piercing sounds echoed.


    A green smoke rose.


    A thinyer on the surface of the entrance gate was corroded, revealing a faint golden interior.


    "Damn it."


    The Guardian Nuan, seeing this, felt a sense of despair.


    The viscous liquid in the gourd was known as the ''Mother Water of Dissolving All Things.''


    Even the toughest things would quickly disappear under this Mother Water.


    Originally, the Guardian Nuan thought that the Mother Water should be able to deal with the entrance gate built from ''mysterious gold.''


    But now, it seemed she was mistaken.


    "Respected one."


    The Guardian Nuan ced her right hand on the entrance gate of the Great Abyss.


    This was the closest she could get to Xiahou Yuan.


    "It''s my fault."


    The Guardian Nuan''seyes turned slightly red.


    "The time is almost up. Wait a little longer, and that Jiang Jianke should arrive."


    Suddenly, a man beside her spoke up.


    "Jiang Jianke."


    The Guardian Nuan took a deep breath.


    "Moyang True Lord."


    If Moyang True Lord were here, he couldpletely deter Jiang Jianke and buy her more time.


    "Respected one."


    "Hold on a little longer."


    "I''ll be back soon."


    After saying this, the Guardian Nuan quickly led her followers away.


    As time passed, the number of demon lords truly loyal to Xiahou Yuan dwindled.


    So the Guardian Nuan absolutely couldn''t let her followers die in vain.


    Jiang Jianke was a eigth-stage expert, and if they were stopped by him, it would be difficult for them to escape unscathed.


    As the Guardian Nuan and the demonic remnants left, many guards who had been pushed away began to approach.


    "You see."


    "These remnants of the demonic path can''t do anything to the entrance gate made of mysterious gold."


    Zhao Si carefully inspected the entrance gate and chuckled when he saw that only a thinyer had been corroded.


    "Hahaha, these remnants of the demonic path truly don''t know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth. This entrance gate was personally built by Tianjianzi and many other experts. Even if they passed the first level, there are still seventeen moreyers below."


    "Wishing to rescue Xiahou Yuan is nothing but a dream."


    "In my opinion, even if Xiahou Yuan were in perfect condition, with peak strength, he wouldn''t be able to break open the eighteenyers of the Great Abyss."


    The guardsspoke confidently, expressing great confidence in the entrance gate.


    They even felt that even if Xiahou Yuan recovered all his strength, he wouldn''t be able toe out.


    Suddenly.


    At this moment.


    Crack!!


    Crackle!!


    A muffled sound of fracture faintly spread.


    "Huh?"


    "What''s that sound?"


    Zhao Si, with keen senses, immediately sensed something.


    The other guardsalso blinked, looking at each other.


    "It seems like... it''sing from the entrance gate."


    A weak voice sounded,ing from the new recruit guard.


    At this moment, he widened his eyes, staring straight at the entrance gate of the Great Abyss.


    "What did you say?"


    Zhao Si''s heart tightened.


    He quickly turned his head to look.


    Just this nce.


    Zhao Si witnessed an unforgettable scene.


    He saw the intact entrance gate of the Great Abyss, now showing cracks from inside to outside.


    These cracks kept spreading, expanding, and splitting.


    In an instant, they covered the entire gate.


    "Not good!!!"


    Zhao Si''s heart almost stopped beating.


    Before these two words could be uttered.


    The entrance gate of the Great Abyss exploded with a loud bang.


    Countless fragments of mysterious gold, like meteors, shot out in all directions.


    But nobody paid attention to them.


    Their gazes were all fixed on the empty entrance of the Great Abyss.


    Only the sound of faint footsteps, slow and leisurely, came from the depths of the Great Abyss.


    Under the shocked gaze of everyone.


    A figure dressed in tattered clothes slowly walked out of the Great Abyss.


    As this figure emerged, they raised their hand to shield their eyes, as if finding the light too bright.


    "Freedom!"


    The figure took a deep breath, and within a radius of tens or hundreds of miles, all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, whether willing or unwilling, was sucked into their body.


    ...


    I need POWAAAA :D

 Chapter 112

    Chapter 112


    "Finally, I''m out."


    Lin Yuan squinted his eyes, savoring the taste of freedom. Even though it hadn''t been calcted before his arrival, Xiahou Yuan had been suppressed for five years. Lin Yuan himself had spent a full twenty years in the depths of the earth''s eighteenyers.


    These twenty years were most torturous, with the constant oppression of the six ck chains. In thetter ten years, he had rid himself of the ck chains but still had to endure the omnipresent oppressive force at the deepest part of the Great Abyss.


    For twenty long years, there was no freedom, no entertainment, only endless darkness and coldness. If it were an evolver from the main world with an age of only one or two hundred years, they would probably have copsed mentally long ago.


    This had nothing to do with strength but was a test of willpower and mentality. Fortunately, Lin Yuan had undergone three transmigration, and his mental fortitude had been sufficiently tempered to endure it.


    To sustain it, he had to take the most torturous method, which was also the safest and had the fewest risks.


    "Take a few more breaths." Lin Yuan sucked dry the aura of the surrounding hundred miles, feeling his body moisturized as if it had encountered a long-awaited rain after a drought.


    In the depths of the Great Abyss, Lin Yuan had spent ten years recovering to the peak of the Ninth Rank (or realm, it''s the same), which was Xiahou Yuan''s full strength.


    However, when he broke through the eighteenyered gate, there was some depletion, and now he had the opportunity to continue his recovery.


    After all, Xiahou Yuan''s peak strength did not represent Lin Yuan''s peak strength. However, for Lin Yuan, the peak strength of the Ninth Rank was enough to make him fearless.


    The same knife, ced in the hands of an ordinary person versus a master of knife skills, naturally had different deterrent effects.


    With Lin Yuan''s level of control over his strength and the numerous secrets he possessed, if the Tianjianzi from twenty-five years ago dared to appear in front of him, he would be suppressed within dozens of moves at most.


    In contrast to Lin Yuan''s joy of escaping, the leaders of the guards, led by Zhao Si, were trembling and weak in the legs. My God. Who did they see?


    The legendary demon king Xiahou Yuan, who terrorized the Five Realms twenty-five years ago? This, this, was this something they could face?


    Zhao Si''s mind was a mess. These guards, even the remnants of the demon path, could handle them, let alone the legendary demon king himself.


    "It''s over." Zhao Si sat down on the ground.


    There wasn''t even a thought of escape. What a joke? Although they didn''t know the exact state of the legendary demon king now, even if he was weak, dealing with them, third and fourth-ranked individuals, could be done with just a nce.


    If they tried to flee now, it would only hasten their time of death. Zhao Si and the other guards lowered their heads, not even daring to look at Lin Yuan, afraid of attracting the attention of this demon king.


    Several miles away, the demon leader, who had been nning to retreat, noticed themotion at the entrance to the Great Abyss and subconsciously turned back to look.


    "Your Majesty." The demon leader was immediately stunned. Even though they hadn''t seen each other for twenty-five years, she recognized the tall figure standing outside the entrance to the Great Abyss at first nce.


    "Your Majesty." The demon leader''s subordinates eyes widened. Many of them had never seen Xiahou Yuan before, but since the demon leader was so sure, no one doubted anything.


    Whoosh. Without thinking, Guardian Nuan (demon leader) turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the entrance of the Great Abyss. In just a few breaths, she arrived in front of Lin Yuan.


    At this moment, she was absolutely certain that the man in front of her was the legendary demon king, Xiahou Yuan.


    "Greetings, Your Majesty." The demon leader''s heart surged, kneeling down and speaking with excitement.


    "Greetings, Your Majesty." The other demons who had rushed over also knelt down one after another.


    "Nuan Shu" Lin Yuan nced at the demon leader casually and said.


    In Xiahou Yuan''s memory, Nuan Shu was the child he had picked up and had followed him since childhood.


    Precisely because of this, when Xiahou Yuan was suppressed, and the demon kings dispersed, only Nuan Shu was thinking about how to save his Majesty. In terms of loyalty, Nuan Shu could be considered the most loyal among the demon kings.


    Although loyalty was the most meaningless thing for a demon king, Xiahou Yuan was able tomand the demon kings of the Five Realms not because of loyalty but because of absolute strength and the invisible suppression of the demon kings.


    Especially thetter.


    Hundreds of miles away.


    A sword light came rushing.


    "These damn remnants of the demonic path, theye every once in a while."


    Jiang Jianke was furious.


    As a supreme powerhouse at the peak of the Eighth Stage, sitting in the bitter cold of the Northern Domain''s Great Abyss, he was already feeling ufortable.


    After all, the aura of heaven and earth near the Northern Domain''s Great Abyss was thin. Staying here for a long time, let alone advancing further, would be difficult to maintain the current realm.


    And the higher the strength and realm, the deeper the feeling.


    If it weren''t for Tianjianzi personally inviting him and promising a few rewards, Jiang Jiankewouldn''t havee here.


    Even so, Jiang Jiankewouldn''t foolishly stay at the entrance of the Great Abyss. Instead, he stayed away from the Great Abyss and found a ce to seclude himself a hundred miles away.


    This distance, once something happened at the Great Abyss, he could also rush there quickly.


    "This time, I must teach those remnants of the demonic path a lesson so that they won''t recover for years."


    Jiang Jiankehad already made up his mind.


    In the past, when Jiang Jiankearrived, those remnants of the demonic path had already fled.


    Jiang Jiankedidn''t pursue them because even if he killed the demon leader, there would be no benefits, and he might even get injured.


    But this time, Jiang Jiankechanged his mind.


    If he didn''t show his strength, those demonic remnants would probably be even more reckless.


    "Hmm?"


    Just as Jiang Jiankerushed to the Great Abyss at top speed.


    Suddenly, he froze.


    Because he found that the aura of heaven and earth from all directions was rushing towards the Great Abyss.


    Even within the range Jiang Jiankehad rushed to, tens of miles around were like this.


    "What on earth is happening?"


    Jiang Jiankewas shocked.


    Being able to mobilize such arge range of aura of heaven and earth near the Northern Domain''s Great Abyss was not an easy task.


    At least Jiang Jiankethought it was difficult for him to do so.


    It was estimated that only a powerhouse of the Ninth Stage would have the confidence.


    But this Great Abyss? If it weren''t necessary, which Ninth Stage powerhouse woulde to this remote ce?


    "Could it be those demon lordsing to save Xiahou Yuan?"


    Jiang Jiankefurrowed his brows slightly.


    The demon lords of the Five Realms had always been heartless and unfaithful, especially the Ninth Stage demon lords. They wouldn''t hesitate to take advantage of others, let alonee to rescue Xiahou Yuan?


    Jiang Jiankethought it was unlikely.


    Without Xiahou Yuan, those demon lords would be free to do as they pleased, beyond even Tianjianzi''s control. Why would theye to rescue Xiahou Yuan, inviting trouble for themselves?


    Moreover, the eighteenyered gate at the entrance of the Great Abyss, even if several Ninth Stage powerhouses joined forces, would take half a year or even several years to break through, and Tianjianzi would never give them so much time.


    "Perhaps it''s a treasure?"


    Jiang Jiankesuddenly thought.


    In addition to Ninth Stage powerhouses being able to forcibly mobilize such arge range of aura of heaven and earth.


    Certain treasures could also cause phenomena in the heavens and the earth. However, with the currentmotion, if it were really a treasure, it would surely have a significant origin.


    "It''s my chance."


    Jiang Jianke''s eyes gleamed slightly, continuing to fly towards the position of the Great Abyss.


    He was prepared. If he nced from afar and it was really a treasure, he would take it for himself.


    If it was those Ninth Stage demon lords, he would turn around and leave.


    Although Jiang Jiankewas not an opponent of the Ninth Stage demon lords, if he kept his distance, he could still escape.


    Whoosh.


    Soon.


    Jiang Jiankearrived several miles away from the entrance of the Great Abyss.


    "Let me see."


    Jiang Jiankestood in mid-air, scanning with his gaze.


    But the next moment, he froze.


    He saw a tall man in tattered clothes standing at the entrance of the Great Abyss.


    The remnants of the demonic path, led by Nuan Shu, were kneeling in front of him, whispering something.


    "Xiahou Yuan!!!"


    Jiang Jianke''s scalp tingled.


    Without hesitation, he frantically fled in the opposite direction.


    How could he not have thought that the one causing such amotion would be Xiahou Yuan himself?


    Wasn''t he supposed to be sealed by Tianjianzi, unable to move his flesh and soul? Wasn''t he thrown into the eighteenthyer of the Great Abyss, enduring endless suppression day and night?


    How did he escape??


    Jiang Jianke''s mind was in chaos, and he had only one thought.


    That was to run.


    And then go to Tianjian Sect and scold Tianjianzi for being unreliable, causing him such a scare.


    "An Eighth Stage?"


    Lin Yuan was listening to Nuan Shu''s report on the situation over the years.


    Suddenly, as if sensing something, he raised his head slightly and looked at Jiang Jiankewho was fleeing madly.


    "Your Majesty, he is Jiang Jianke, in charge of this ce."


    Nuan Shu also looked up and immediately recognized this ''acquaintance''.


    "Perfect."


    Lin Yuan raised his right hand and grabbed the void.


    Boom!


    The vast aura of heaven and earth gathered into a giant hand.


    Separated by ten miles, Jiang Jianke, who was like ''dust,'' was grasped in the hand.


    "No!!"


    Jiang Jianke''s mind trembled, struggling desperately.


    Unfortunately, under the immense power of heaven and earth, Jiang Jianke, like real ''dust,'' after sshing a few waves, disappearedpletely.


    Bang.


    The giant hand slowly clenched.


    Jiang Jiankeexploded directly, turning into arge cloud of blood mist.


    Immediately after.


    Lin Yuan, who was at the entrance of the Great Abyss, gently sucked again.


    All the blood mist and essence of the soul turned into a long dragon, all of which were sucked into Lin Yuan''s abdomen.


    Compared to directly devouring the aura of heaven and earth, directly plundering the blood and essence of a strong person was naturally more efficient, and almost all demon kings longed for it.


    "Your Majesty."


    Beside him, Nuan Shu swallowed hard.


    She wasn''t surprised that Lin Yuan had directly consumed Jiang Jiankeas nourishment. What shocked her was Lin Yuan''s strength. Jiang Jianke was a peak Eighth Stage expert, and if he wanted to flee, even an ordinary Ninth Stage might not be able to stop him.


    Moreover, Jiang Jiankehad already started fleeing from such a distance.


    Nuan Shuoriginally thought that Lin Yuan''s strength would be greatly weakened while suppressed in the depths of the Great Abyss''s eighteenyers. But now it seemedpletely unfounded.


    From the power Lin Yuan had just demonstrated, he was no weaker than Xiahou Yuan, who was at his peak twenty-five years ago.


    "Jiang Jiankeis gone like this."


    Zhao Si and the other guards looked numb. They had a sliver of hope in Jiang Jianke. Before Nuan Shuand the other remnants of the demonic path arrived, Zhao Si had contacted Jiang Jianke.


    Although Zhao Si''s strength was weak, he also knew that even Xiahou Yuan, forciblying up from the eighteenyers of the Great Abyss, must have paid a huge price.


    Therefore.


    As long as Jiang Jianke, a peak Eighth Stage expert, arrived, Xiahou Yuan might be frightened away.


    In this way, they would naturally be saved.


    But things went against their wishes.


    Not only did Jiang Jiankefail to drive away Xiahou Yuan, but he was also eaten by Xiahou Yuan.


    "Hmm."


    Lin Yuan swallowed Jiang Jianke''s essence of blood and spirit, and his brows furrowed slightly.


    Jiang Jianke''s essence of blood and spirit did indeed greatly replenish Lin Yuan''s consumption.


    However, during the absorption, Lin Yuan faintly felt that traces of Jiang Jianke''s soul impurities were beginning to affect him.


    Of course, for the current Lin Yuan, these soul impurities could easily be wiped out.


    It''s just that if Lin Yuan wanted to use this method to restore his strength and break through his realm in the future, a small quantity wouldn''t matter, but if there were too many, it would affect the purity of his own soul.


    "This technique of swallowing the heavens for evolution is indeed peculiar."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The method he had just used to devour Jiang Jianke came from the secret technique of ''Swallowing Path'' for evolution.


    This evolutionary path relied on consuming all things to replenish oneself.


    Of course, the more one consumed, the more likely one''s own spiritual intelligence and consciousness would be affected.


    In the demonic path techniques, there were simr methods, but the efficiency of devouring was far inferior to the secret technique of ''Swallowing Path'' for evolution.


    Once this secret technique spread, it would definitely be the holy technique and divine technique of the demon kings in this world.


    "Let''s go."


    "First, let''s find a quiet ce."


    Lin Yuan nced at Nuan Shu, who was still in shock, and said lightly.


    "Yes."


    Nuan Shu''s body trembled at the words.


    Then she led Lin Yuan to a nearby stronghold.


    It wasn''t until Lin Yuan and the others hadpletely left that Zhao Si and the other guards reacted.


    "We...we survived?"


    Many guards burst into tears. Only the heavens knew that they had already prepared theirst words just now.


    "In Xiahou Yuan''s eyes, perhaps we''re not even ants."


    Zhao Si let out a long sigh of relief, silently thinking to himself.


    It wasn''t that Xiahou Yuan was kind, but he simply couldn''t be bothered to deal with the weak.


    Of course, the premise of not acting was that the weak didn''t make any other moves. Just now, if these guards made any slightest movement, whether rushing up or fleeing, they would definitely have died.


    "When Xiahou Yuan emerges from the Great Abyss, the Five Realms will change."


    Zhao Si regained hisposure and looked towards the direction where Lin Yuan had left, this thought surging in his heart.


    Several dayster.


    The news of the legendary demon king Xiahou Yuan emerging from the Great Abyss after twenty-five years of suppression spread like a hurricane in all directions.


    For a moment.


    The Five Realms trembled.

    A dim underground pce.


    Moyang Demon Lord looked at the intelligence in front of him, his expression changed drastically.


    "Xiahou Yuan hase out of the Great Abyss?"


    Moyang Demon Lord''s expression was ugly. As one of the nine demon lords under Xiahou Yuan in the past, he knew best the terror of Xiahou Yuan.


    That was an existence that made all the demon heads in the world extremely desperate. Even the demon lord of the ninth realm trembled in front of Xiahou Yuan, not daring to resist.


    This is not to say that Xiahou Yuan''s strength is far superior to that of the ninth realm demon lord.


    It''s that Xiahou Yuan himself, by nature, could suppress all the demon heads, just like a mouse seeing a cat.


    Even if this mouse''s size isrger than that of the cat, it still wouldn''t dare to resist when faced with the cat.


    This fear was imprinted deep in their souls.


    Twenty-five years ago, Moyang Demon Lord personally witnessed Xiahou Yuan being suppressed by Tianjianzi and thrown into the Great Abyss''s eighteenth level.


    He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his good days wereing, without Xiahou Yuan''s constraints.


    He could do whatever he wanted, even if it was just the Tianjian Sect, even if it was Tianjianzi, even if he couldn''t beat them, could he not escape?


    In the vast Five Realms, in the vast world, what could those righteous powerhouses do to him?


    "Waste!"


    "Tianjianzi, you waste!"


    "I gave you a chance, you''d better make good use of it!!!"


    Moyang Demon Lord was extremely annoyed. What a good opportunity it was.


    "But how did Xiahou Yuan escape from the depths of the Great Abyss''s eighteen levels? Did that girl Nuan Shu use some method?"


    Moyang Demon Lord forced himself to calm down.


    In the few years just after Xiahou Yuan was suppressed, Moyang Demon Lord had also quietly approached the vicinity of the Great Abyss and observed for a while.


    In the end, after confirming that the eighteen-level gate of the Great Abyss was like a real trap, with no possibility of Xiahou Yuan escaping, he left with peace of mind.


    "Never mind."


    "Even if Xiahou Yuan really came out of the Great Abyss."


    "The first ones he should be looking for should be the Tianjian Sect, Tianjianzi."


    Moyang Demon Lord pondered in his heart. After all, in terms of hatred, Tianjianzi had broken Xiahou Yuan''s state of mind with ''Bai Qing''er'' and then suppressed him.


    It could be said that the hatred ran deep.


    If Xiahou Yuan really broke free, he would definitely go to Tianjian Sect for revenge regardless of the consequences.


    And they, these demon heads, could naturally sit back and watch the show. At critical moments, they might even take advantage of the situation.


    Central Region.


    Tianjian Sect.


    The towering peaks.


    The mist was swirling.


    It was like a paradise on earth.


    This was the gate of Tianjian Sect.


    It was the most concentrated ce of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Central Region.


    Practicing here, even without taking elixirs, under the condition of good aptitude, one could easily break through the third realm, even the fourth realm.


    "Xiahou Yuan is out?"


    Inside the main hall on the mountaintop, a white-haired man showed a slight surprise.


    He was Tianjianzi. Twenty-five years ago, although he used some despicable means in that battle, he managed to disrupt Xiahou Yuan''s state of mind with ''Bai Qing''er''.


    But without the strong strength to contend with Xiahou Yuan, no matter what he did, it would be futile.


    "Interesting."


    A smile appeared on Tianjianzi''s face.


    Since defeating Xiahou Yuan twenty-five years ago, suppressing Xiahou Yuan, he felt the momentum of the heaven and earth''s great fortune on him, and his cultivation continuously improved. Now, he was only one step away from breaking through the ninth realm and stepping into the tenth realm, which had been entered by only a few people over tens of thousands of years.


    So Tianjianzi didn''t have much worry about the news of Xiahou Yuan''s escape.


    He was even somewhat pleased.


    Twenty-five years ago, he defeated Xiahou Yuan indeed using some means.


    But now, Tianjianzi was confident that he could crush Xiahou Yuan openly and aboveboard.


    Deep within Tianjian Sect.


    In a beautiful valley.


    A woman dressed in a white dress, looking ethereal, sat in a pavilion.


    "Big Brother Xiahou."


    Bai Qing''er was somewhat absent-minded. She had also learned about Xiahou Yuan''s escape from the Great Abyss.


    "In the past, I was sorry for you."


    Bai Qing''er''s expression wasplicated. She disguised herself as a descendant of the Bai family, approached Xiahou Yuan, and sessfully gained his trust.


    Finally, at a critical moment, she dealt him a heavy blow.


    In theory, no matter from what perspective, she, Bai Qing''er, was not wrong. After all, everything she did was to eradicate the demonic path and bring peace to the world.


    But as time passed, Bai Qing''er became increasingly guilty.


    Over the past few decades, Xiahou Yuan''s unconditional trust in her made Bai Qing''er feel suffocated.


    "I don''t regret it."


    "Even if it''s repeated ten or a hundred times, I won''t regret it."


    Bai Qing''er''s gaze gradually became firm.


    Northern Region.


    Near the western side.


    The temperature here was higher, suitable for living beings to survive.


    "Respected One, this mountain stronghold is the base I arranged, where you can rest."


    Nuan Shu led Lin Yuan to a house inside the mountain stronghold.


    There was one thing Nuan Shudidn''t say: this stronghold was thest stronghold she could control.


    Twenty-five years ago, when Xiahou Yuan was first suppressed, there were still many demon heads in the demonic path who were willing to follow her.


    But with several failed attempts to rescue Xiahou Yuan, the resources and power controlled by Nuan Shugradually diminished.


    After all, Nuan Shuwas not a demon lord of the ninth realm, and because of her desire to rescue Xiahou Yuan, she was subjected to all the righteous forces'' full suppression and opposition.


    In the situation where there was little hope of rescuing Xiahou Yuan,


    Those demon heads naturally realized that there was no future in following Nuan Shu.


    The demon heads were inherently selfish, and except for a few, it was normal for each to save themselves in times of crisis.


    "Understood."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    He was very satisfied with the surrounding environment.


    Mainly because it was in stark contrast to the harsh environment of the Great Abyss.


    The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here was abundant, which was like heaven to Lin Yuan.


    "I''ll go into seclusion for a while first."


    "Don''t disturb me unless it''s urgent," Lin Yuan instructed.


    This time in seclusion, Lin Yuan was mainly preparing to break through to the fifth rank (level of the main world).


    "Understood," Nuan Shusaid solemnly.


    She thought Xiahou Yuan might be injured and was now recuperating.


    After all, being suppressed in the eighteenth level of the Great Abyss for twenty-five years, how could he have paid no price? Lin Yuan''s ability to kill Jiang Jianke, a peak eighth rank expert, was already incredible; he must have left many hidden dangers.


    Entering the room, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed.


    "Fifth rank," Lin Yuan pondered, his face serious.


    Having spent twenty years in the depths of the Great Abyss, Lin Yuan spent most of his time contemting and pondering the path to the fifth rank.


    The environment in the eighteenth level of the Great Abyss was harsh, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was thin. Even if Lin Yuan could break through, he wouldn''t choose to do so there.


    "There shouldn''t be any problems."


    Half a dayter, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.


    "But this Xiahou Yuan, indeed possesses extraordinary talent."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts turned back to himself.


    ording to the memories he had browsed about Xiahou Yuan, this person had incredible talent in the demonic path.


    Moreover, Xiahou Yuan had an almost restraining force on other demon heads.


    "Continue to restore my strength."


    "Reach the peak of the fourth rank."


    "Then break through to the fifth rank."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts turned, and he began to continue his cultivation.


    Suddenly, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within tens of miles converged towards Lin Yuan''s stronghold like a funnel.


    The news of Xiahou Yuan''s emergence from the Great Abyss caused a huge stir in various regions of the Five Realms.


    This matter couldn''t be concealed at all. After all, the guardian of the Great Abyss hadn''t died. Even if the guardian had died, someone would check the Great Abyss every once in a while.


    Those righteous forces naturally remembered the fear of being dominated by Xiahou Yuan.


    Many veteran demon heads who had experienced the events of twenty or thirty years ago suddenly became uneasy. They knew how terrifying Xiahou Yuan was.


    However, for the demon heads born in thest twenty or thirty years, they were somewhat dismissive.


    Demon heads had always advocated freedom and unconstraint. The newly emerging demon heads believed that even though Xiahou Yuan was invincible in the demonic path back then, after being suppressed for twenty or thirty years, how much strength did he have left?


    Ten percent? Twenty percent? Thirty percent?


    Even a few of the newly emerged demon heads thought this was an opportunity.


    For most demon heads, Xiahou Yuan was like a demon barrier. If they killed Xiahou Yuan at this time, they wouldpletely rece Xiahou Yuan''s position from twenty or thirty years ago and be the new leader of the demonic path in the Five Realms.


    Wasn''t it possible for them to be the leaders of the demonic path in the Five Realms?


    This kind of thinking spread rapidly among most demon heads, especially among those newly emerged demon heads.


    Over the past twenty or thirty years, they had heard too many legends about Xiahou Yuan. If they could shatter this legend, then they would be a new legend themselves.


    Outside the stronghold where Lin Yuan was located.


    At some point, one figure after another appeared.


    These figures exuded a dark and oppressive aura, obviously all aplished demon heads.


    "Is that thest ce where Xiahou Yuan appeared?"


    A sinister young man, ''Bian Mao,'' said indifferently with his hands behind his back.


    ''Bian Mao'' was a demonic genius who emerged nearly twenty years ago, with peak eighth realm strength, earning him the title of ''Little Demon Lord.''


    Demon Lords were the collective term for ninth realm demon heads, and ''Bian Mao'' being called ''Little Demon Lord'' meant that in the eyes of the outside world, he had a high chance of entering the ninth realm.


    At that time, ''Little Demon Lord'' would be a real Demon Lord.


    "Bian Mao, if we''re going to hunt down Xiahou Yuan together this time, you need to be prepared. He was almost invincible in the world twenty-five years ago," a hoarse voice rang out from the shadow not far away, as a figure emerged.


    "Since you, Yin Shi, dare, why wouldn''t I, Bian Mao?" The sinister young man, Bian Mao, sneered.


    Yin Shi was also a demon head whose reputation was not much worse than his.


    His specialty was assassination, and he even had a formidable record of seriously injuring a ninth realmexpert.


    Of course, when he severely injured the ninth realm expert, Yin Shi hadunched a sneak attack in secret, waiting until the ninth realm expert''s attention was diverted before making his move.


    But regardless, being able to seriously injure a ninth realm expert already proved Yin Shi''s strength.


    If Yin Shi ambushed an eighth realm expert, wouldn''t thetter be doomed without a doubt?


    "Alright."


    "Don''t argue."


    Just then, a crisp female voice rang out, sounding like bells in the gentle breeze.


    A girl wearing a light green skirt stretchedzily and jumped down from a boulder nearby.


    She had been sitting on the boulder, observing the movements of the stronghold in the distance.


    "This time, the three of us joining forces to hunt down Xiahou Yuan is a big deal. If we seed, the next leader of the demonic path in the Five Realms will be us," the girl said with unusual solemnity.


    "If we fail..." She paused, not continuing.


    "Don''t worry."


    "With the strength of the three of us, plus hundreds of subordinates..."


    "As long as Xiahou Yuan hasn''t restored his peak ninth realmstrength, he''s dead for sure."


    "Even if he restores his full strength, at worst, we''ll abandon those subordinates. The three of us still have hope of escape."


    Yin Shi spoke faintly.


    As he finished speaking, figures emerged from all directions, almost simultaneously, from the shadows.


    These figures, with revealed auras, were all seventh realm demon heads. Interweaving among them, they formed a formation. With theirbined strength, even an eighth realm expert would undoubtedly die, and a ninth realmexpert would be troubled.


    "It''s about time."


    "We can start now."


    Bian Mao nced at the stronghold in the distance and said.


    "The atmosphere feels... off."


    Deep within the stronghold, in front of the house where Lin Yuan was in seclusion, Nuan Shu naturally stood guard, but at this moment, she faintly sensed danger.


    "Could this base have been discovered?" Nuan Shu''s heart skipped a beat.


    There was indeed such a possibility. Since Xiahou Yuan was suppressed, the forces she could mobilize had be increasingly scarce. Even the speciallyid out base was no longer so wless.


    "No."


    "I need to see the Lord. We must leave quickly." Nuan Shu''s vignce was high, but just as she was about to knock on the door.


    Swoosh swoosh swoosh.


    Figures dressed in ck swiftly approached.


    They were among the few subordinates Nuan Shu had left.


    "What''s going on?" Nuan Shu sensed trouble.


    "We''re surrounded," one of her subordinates said in a low voice.


    "Surrounded?" Nuan Shu''s face darkened.


    So soon?


    tter tter tter.


    Faint footsteps sounded.


    At some point, within the stronghold, around the house, hundreds of figures had appeared.


    These hundreds of figures had a vague connection in their aura, indicating they were in sync and had cultivated some powerful joint attack technique.


    "Come out."


    Seeing this, Nuan Shu knew she couldn''t escape unscathed.


    "You must be Nuan Shu, one of the thirty-six guardians under Xiahou Yuan''smand," a sinister young man emerged and looked at Nuan Shu with interest.


    He hadn''t experienced Xiahou Yuan''s era, so he had no fear of him.


    "Indeed loyal, if I''m not mistaken, your Lord is in this house?" he said with insolence.


    "Insolence!" Nuan Shu was furious.


    Who was the Lord? How dare a junior like the sinister young man address him directly?


    "Bian Mao, how dare you?!" Nuan Shu stared straight at the sinister young man.


    She also knew Bian Mao, the most promising candidate to reach the ninth realm, the Little Demon Lord.


    "Nuan Shu, times have changed" Bian Mao''s expression turned cold.


    "The era belonging to Xiahou Yuan is over."


    "Don''t waste time."


    "Attack directly."


    A girl in a light green skirt appeared alongside Yin Shi.


    A deep aura suddenly spread, swiftly enveloping the entire stronghold.


    Hum!


    Just as Bian Mao, the girl in the light green skirt, Yin Shi, and hundreds of demons were about to attack.


    Crack.


    The wooden door behind Nuan Shu was pushed open.


    "So lively?"


    A gentle voice came from inside the house.


    Then, a foot stepped out.


    Under the gaze of Bian Mao and others.


    A tall man walked out of the wooden house.


    "Is he Xiahou Yuan?" Even though they had already anticipated this scene, Bian Mao and the others'' hearts still raced.


    This was the legend from twenty or thirty years ago!


    "Kill!!" Bian Mao, Yin Shi, and the girl in the light green skirt were determined.


    Even if it was truly Xiahou Yuan, so what? It wasn''t thirty years ago. Even though he was once a legend, they dared to attack now.


    Lin Yuan stood in the distance, smiling.


    Boom!


    In an instant, within tens of miles, as long as they practiced demonic techniques, whether they were at the seventh realm, eighth realm, or even the ninth realm, they involuntarily knelt on the ground, trembling.


    All the demons in the world, upon seeing me, Xiahou Yuan, must bow.


    ...


    I need POWAAAA :D

 Chapter 114

    Chapter 114


    Within the stronghold, the murderous intent of hundreds of cultivators soared to the sky. However, the moment they saw Lin Yuan, they uncontrobly knelt and kowtowed.


    This was an unparalleled suppression that came from the depths of the soul, as if all cultivatorswho cultivated demonic arts in the world were under its "jurisdiction".


    "How is this possible?" The sinister young man, Bian Mao, knelt on the ground, unable to move, but his heart surged with immense waves.


    With his strength, even if he encountered a peak level Ninth Realm existence, he wouldn''t be able to defeat or escape, but he wouldn''t directly kneel like this.


    Yet now, not only was he kneeling, but many of his demonic techniques and forbidden arts were also rendered silent. It was simply unbelievable.


    "This Xiahou Yuan..." Bian Mao''s heart turned cold. At this moment, he finally understood why, when he learned that Xiahou Yuan had emerged from the Abyss, those senior cultivatorswho had experienced the era thirty years ago were panicked, not even daring to think of opposing him.


    Back then, Bian Mao had somewhat looked down on those senior cultivators, mocking them for being scared stiff by Xiahou Yuan, not daring toe out even after thirty years.


    However, now, facing Xiahou Yuan in person, Bian Mao keenly felt how terrifying the former ruler of the Five Domains, known as the "Demon Emperor", truly was.


    His lofty ambitions of recing Xiahou Yuan and bing the new legendary figure seemedughable.


    If Xiahou Yuan was really so easy to deal with, the Nine Great Demon Lords would havee to hunt him down as soon as they learned he had emerged from the Abyss. How could they let a "little demon lord" like him seize the initiative?


    "So, we''ve been manipted."


    At the same time, Yin Shi, who was also kneeling on the ground, suddenly realized.


    Their actions this time were not a top-secret matter; several of the Nine Great Demon Lords knew about it.


    But from start to finish, they hadn''t encountered any obstacles. Instead, everything had gone unusually smoothly, easily locking onto Xiahou Yuan''s location.


    Before this, Yin Shi had thought it was the heavens aiding them. But now, they realized that their group had be the "knife" in the hands of those senior cultivators.


    Those senior cultivators, including the Nine Great Demon Lords, had experienced the terrifying era of Xiahou Yuan and knew how dreadful he was.


    Precisely because of this, even though they knew Xiahou Yuan couldn''t possibly be in his prime right after emerging from the Abyss, they still didn''t dare to take any action.


    At this moment, this group of young demon lords had unexpectedly jumped out, which was simply an unexpected joy for those senior cultivators.


    Under the instructions of several Demon Lords, they gathered together to discuss the matter of hunting down the legendary demon Xiahou Yuan. Little did they know, everything was under the watchful eyes of those senior cultivators.


    These senior cultivators, cautiously using them, were testing Xiahou Yuan with their actions. If they seeded in killing Xiahou Yuan, it would be equivalent to helping those senior cultivatorpletely resolve their major concerns.


    If they failed, it would have nothing to do with those senior cultivators. From start to finish, this group of young demon lords had not cooperated with those senior cultivators in anything. All their actions were their own.


    "Master... why hasn''t the mastere?"


    "Xiahou Yuan is too terrifying wuwuwu..." The girl in the light green dress crushed the jade pendant in her hand.


    ording to her and her master''s n, as long as she crushed this jade pendant, her Ninth Realmmaster woulde at the fastest speed and end everything.


    By then, whether it was the little demon lord Bian Mao or Yin Shi, they would only be able to kneel. But she had already crushed the jade pendant into powder, and her master had not yet arrived.


    Outside the wooden house, Lin Yuan looked at all the kneeling demon heads with no surprise in his expression.


    From the moment he descended into this world, Lin Yuan knew that Xiahou Yuan had an almost terrifying suppression on all the demon heads in the world. Of course, this kind of suppression was not unlimited; it had to be within the same Realm.


    For example, when Xiahou Yuan was at the Seventh Realm, all demon heads of the Seventh Realm and below would be suppressed when facing him.


    Even the peak Seventh Realmcouldn''t break free from this suppression; they could only kneel when they saw Xiahou Yuan.


    If it were an Eighth Realmdemon head, they could alleviate this suppression, but they still wouldn''t dare to act against Xiahou Yuan; it was simply unthinkable.


    Decades ago, how did Xiahou Yuan, who ruled over the demon heads of the Five Domains, manage to maintain control?


    Was it by strength alone? Tianjian Sect, the leading force of the righteous path, hadn''t been able to control the demonic path for so many years, so how did Xiahou Yuan manage it?


    Even if his strength was formidable, for those demon heads and demon lords, they could simply keep their distance if they couldn''t defeat him. But they couldn''t fight and couldn''t escape, how could they keep their distance?


    Facing the righteous forces, even if it was a Tenth Realm expert of the righteous path, the demon heads could truly hide. In the past tens of thousands of years, Tianjian Sect had produced three Tenth Realmexperts.


    Even so, at most, they could make the demon heads disappear for a few hundred years. Once the Tenth Realmexpert died, the demon heads woulde out again.


    However, Xiahou Yuan made all the demon heads of the Five Domains obedient. This kind of control definitely couldn''t be achieved with just strength alone.


    Lin Yuan had been suppressed in the 18thyer of the Abyss for so many years, choosing the most torturous way to restore his strength instead of directly seeking a new body, precisely because he was worried that changing to a new body would make him lose this suppression.


    Although, even without this natural suppression against demon heads, Lin Yuan was destined to be invincible in the world.


    But if he had it in advance, he could definitely take a shorter path. And Lin Yuan was quite curious about the principle behind this ''suppression''.


    "Don''t bother, your master has long gone."


    Lin Yuan looked at the numerous kneeling demon heads and nced at the girl in the light green dress who was trying to crush the jade pendant into powder.


    From the moment this girl appeared, Lin Yuan sensed a certain aura on her, connected to an aura hundreds of miles away.


    The aura hundreds of miles away was connected to the girl''s aura and was stronger, likely belonging to a Ninth Realmdemon head.


    However, the moment the girl crushed the jade pendant, the aura from hundreds of miles away quickly fled like a startled bird, probably already thousands of miles away by now.


    This made Lin Yuan instantly lose interest in pursuing it. It wasn''t that he couldn''t catch up, but it wasn''t necessary.


    Right now, his most important task was to quickly breakthrough to the Fifth Rank (he refers to the main world''s level system).


    Other matters could be postponed. In fact, Lin Yuan spected that if the girl hadn''t crushed the jade pendant, the Ninth Realmdemon head hundreds of miles away might have approached out of curiosity.


    But once the jade pendant was crushed, it signaled a change, and the biggest variable was likely from Xiahou Yuan. How could the aura from hundreds of miles away dare toe now?


    "Lord Xiahou... sir..."


    The girl in the light green dress trembled in her voice, stuttering.


    Decades ago, when Xiahou Yuan ruled over the demonic path of the Five Domains, he was called the ''Demon Emperor'', and the demon heads under him respectfully addressed him as ''sir''.


    "Enough."


    Lin Yuan looked at the other demon heads, briefly pausing his gaze on the sinister young man, Bian Mao, and Yin Shi.


    "Do you want to live or die?"


    Lin Yuan''s voice wasn''t loud, but it resounded in everyone''s ears.


    "Do you want to live or die?"


    Bian Mao was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then revealed a look of ecstasy. Originally, he thought he was doomed to die, but from Lin Yuan''s words, it seemed like he might still have a chance to live?


    "We want to live?"


    "Demon Emperor, we want to live."


    The many demon heads quickly spoke up.


    "Since you want to live, don''t resist."


    Lin Yuan raised his right hand, and hundreds of streams of light flew out,nding on the forehead of each demon head.


    Currently, Lin Yuan had just emerged from the Abyss, and the forces he had established in the past had long scattered. He wascking a group of subordinates to serve him.


    Lin Yuan didn''t have many requirements for his subordinates; as long as they could help him find some spiritual herbs of heaven and earth for rapid cultivation, that would be enough.


    "Yes." Bian Mao and other demon heads felt a coolness on their foreheads, as if something had entered, but they didn''t dare to inspect closely and quickly responded.


    "Hmph." Nuan Shu stood beside Lin Yuan, looking at Bian Mao and the other demon heads with a hint of pride on her face.


    ''How dare you shout and scream, thinking you could provoke Lord Xiahou? Now, all of you have been marked with life and death symbols, and your lives are in Lord Xiahou''s hands.''


    The life and death symbols were a method Xiahou Yuan used to control demon heads when he ruled over them.


    They could simte Xiahou Yuan''s aura, lingering in the minds of all demon heads. Once this aura erupted, even a peak Ninth RealmDemon Lord would find it difficult to survive.


    Of course, the life and death symbols imnted in the foreheads needed to be reinforced by Xiahou Yuan regrly; if not reinforced for a long time, they would quickly dissipate.


    Of course, no demon head dared to procrastinate in this matter, such as hiding somewhere and waiting for the symbols to dissipate.


    Because before the symbols dissipated, Xiahou Yuan only needed a thought to detonate them. When Xiahou Yuan was first suppressed, it really frightened the demon heads for a while.


    Butter, they realized that Xiahou Yuan, who was trapped in the 18thyer of the Abyss, had long been cut off from the outside world, unable to even sense the life and death symbols, let alone activate them.


    As a result, over the past few years, all the life and death symbols in the minds of demon heads had dissipated, and their lingering fears were finally put to rest.


    Thousands of miles away from the stronghold. A streak of light swiftly approached, faintly emitting a bloody smell. Obviously, the owner of the streak of light had used a forbidden technique to increase their speed to the extreme.


    Momentster, the streak of light stopped. A plump middle-aged beauty hovered in the air.


    "Chan''er."


    The middle-aged beauty''s breath was somewhat unstable, but even so, her appearance made the surroundings quiet for several miles. The beasts seemed to sense the aura of a natural enemy and curled up, not daring to move.


    Undoubtedly, this middle-aged beauty was a Ninth Realm expert, and also a Ninth Realm demon Lord.


    However, even at this moment, this Ninth Realm demon Lord, who could roam the Five Domains, still had a lingering look of fear on her face, as if she had just escaped from some great terror.


    "What exactly happened?"


    "Why did Chan''er crush the jade pendant?"


    This middle-aged beauty was one of the demon Lords who wanted to surround and kill Lin Yuan. She was the master of the girl in the light green dress.


    Actually, calling her the master wasn''t urate; their rtionship was something outsiders didn''t know.


    Originally.


    This middle-aged beauty was observing from hundreds of miles away. However, even for a Ninth Realm demon Lord, it was difficult to perceive anything from such a distance.


    Mainly because the middle-aged beauty dared not use any probing or sensing techniques. What if Xiahou Yuan discovered her? Wouldn''t it be like confessing her whereabouts?


    However.


    When the middle-aged beauty sensed the girl in the light green dress crush the jade pendant, an instinctive fear arose in her heart. Instead of approaching, she activated various secret techniques and fled in the opposite direction.


    There was no way. That was Xiahou Yuan. No matter why the girl in the light green dress crushed the jade pendant, as long as there was a slight possibility it was because of Xiahou Yuan, she dared not take the risk.


    "No."


    "I''d better go meet with Moyang and the others."


    The middle-aged beauty calmed herself down, feeling somewhat unsafe alone. She wanted to find other Ninth RealmDemon Lords and seek safety in numbers.


    Especially Moyang, who had reached the peak of the Ninth Realmthirty years ago. After Xiahou Yuan was suppressed, Moyang Demon Lord seemed to have the momentum to be the new leader of the demonic path.


    And as far as the middle-aged beauty knew, since Xiahou Yuan emerged from the Abyss, Moyang Demon Lord had been nning something. If others knew the middle-aged beauty''s thoughts, they would surely be astonished.


    You''re a Ninth RealmDemon Lord. What could make you feel unsafe under the heavens and the earth? But if they knew this person was Xiahou Yuan, they would find it perfectly normal. That was Xiahou Yuan.


    After subduing Bian Mao, Yin Shi, and many other demon heads, Lin Yuan returned to the wooden house and continued his cultivation. As for these demon heads, they stayed near the stronghold and prevented outsiders from approaching.


    "Fifth Rank."


    The more he cultivated, the deeper Lin Yuan''s understanding of the Fifth Rank became. Having spent twenty years in the 18thyer of the Abyss, Lin Yuan had long envisioned countless breakthroughs to the Fifth Rank.


    "Almost there."


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes. He had already made all the preparations to break through to the Fifth Rank. It was just a matter of starting the breakthrough.


    "However."


    "It''s best to break through in a different ce."


    Lin Yuan''s expression changed slightly, scanning his surroundings. First, breaking through to the Fifth Rank required a high-quality environment.


    In fact, it wasn''t the environment; if Lin Yuan had a few pots of ''Red Spirit Liquid'', he could break through anywhere.


    Although the spiritual energy around the stronghold was far better than that of the Abyss, it still didn''t meet Lin Yuan''s minimum standards for breaking through.


    Secondly.


    In recent days, Lin Yuan had clearly felt a faint sense of surveince. Obviously, news of him here had been known to many people, who didn''t dare toe forward but had been observing from a distance.


    Although Lin Yuan didn''t mind being spied on by others, he needed a safe and secluded ce for the uing breakthrough to avoid disturbance.


    "Nuan Shu."


    Lin Yuan called for Nuan Shu and stated his requirements.


    "Yes."


    Nuan Shu nodded immediately. She had long wanted to leave this ce. Not only had Lin Yuan sensed the surveince, but Nuan Shu also felt that more than one person was observing them from afar.


    Several dayster.


    Nuan Shu quickly arrived at the front of the wooden house. After getting Lin Yuan''s permission, she excitedly said:


    "Lord, I have found a ce that absolutely meets the requirements."


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes, his face showing surprise. He had set high requirements for Nuan Shu, and finding a ceparable to major faction strongholds was not an easy task.


    ...


    I need POWAAAA :D

    "Where is it?"


    Lin Yuan asked directly.


    He believed in Nuan Shu''s abilities; surely, she would search ording to his request, with no possibility of cutting corners.


    "Your Majesty."


    Nuan Shu immediately disclosed all the information she had gathered.


    As it turned out, since twenty-five years ago, when Lin Yuan was suppressed in the depths of Grand Abyss''s eighteen floors, as the trusted subordinate of Xiahou Yuan, the peak of the Ninth Realm, the Ink Sun Demon Lord, he had secretly begun constructing an underground pce.


    His intention was to use this underground pce as a foundation, to establish it as the stronghold for once again unifying the demonic path of the Five Domains.


    This pce was built on top of a natural vortex of elemental energy.


    And this vortex of elemental energy had reached the rank of Heavenly Grade.


    The so-called vortex of elemental energy is where the essence of heaven and earth gathers most densely.


    And a Heavenly Grade vortex of elemental energy is extremely rare throughout the Five Domains and beyond.


    The Ink Sun Demon Lord discovered this vortex of elemental energy, which had never been developed until Xiahou Yuan was suppressed and there seemed no hope for his release, only then did he start utilizing it, with grand ambitions.


    Unfortunately, the Ink Sun Demon Lord had grand ambitions butcked the terrifying oppressive power that Xiahou Yuan possessed over all demonic leaders.


    Thus, he was destined to be unable to control all demonic leaders and could only establish a demonic power in one ce at most.


    The construction of the Ink Sun Demon Lord''s underground pce was extremely secretive.


    If it weren''t for the fact that Xiahou Yuan had not been suppressed for long when the construction began, and there were still a few loyal demonic leaders who quietly informed Nuan Shu of this matter, it was estimated that Nuan Shu wouldn''t be able to find a suitable breakthrough point for Lin Yuan so quickly.


    "However."


    Nuan Shu hesitated.


    "The underground pce built by the Ink Sun Demon Lord is not only secretive but also extremely dangerous. It is said to have more than one Heavenly Grade demonic array set up."


    A Heavenly Grade demonic array is enough to suppress and kill a ninth-level expert.


    "Your Majesty, if you intend to enter that underground pce, you must be extremely cautious," Nuan Shu said softly.


    "It''s okay."


    Lin Yuan remained calm.


    Several dayster,


    Lin Yuan and Nuan Shu arrived at a hill.


    Bian Mao and many other demonic leaders followed closely behind.


    "This is the entrance to the Ink Sun Demon Lord''s underground pce."


    Nuan Shu whispered.


    "Elemental energy of heaven and earth."


    Lin Yuan faintly sensed a tremendous vortex of elemental energy.


    However, this vortex of elemental energy seemed to be blocked by some means, emitting no trace of elemental energy.


    This was quite normal.


    Generally speaking, in the absence of external interference, a vortex of elemental energy would slowly disperse elemental energy in all directions.


    But in doing so, it would cause the concentration of elemental energy at the core of the vortex to decrease.


    So as long as a vortex of elemental energy had an owner, it would be isted from the outside world to increase the concentration of elemental energy within.


    Since this underground pce was the stronghold of the Ink Sun Demon Lord, there would be no leakage of elemental energy.


    "It''s enough for me to break through to the Fifth Rank."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    He seemed satisfied.


    "Your Majesty, let me lead the way."


    Nuan Shu took the initiative to move forward, opening a mechanism beside him, and an entrance appeared on the side of the hill.


    Underneath the hill.


    Inside a spacious underground pce.


    Nine demonic lords gathered in a great hall, engaged in heated debate.


    In theory, as demonic lords of the Ninth Realm, the top experts of the Five Domains, it was difficult for them to appear in one ce, as they were dispersed among the Five Domains, each holding sway over their own territory.


    However, at this moment, they were gathered in the underground pce and were arguing with each other.


    The reason for this was the matter of Xiahou Yuan emerging from the Great Abyss.


    These nine demonic lords were all once Xiahou Yuan''s trusted subordinates.


    After Xiahou Yuan was suppressed, they simply divided up the territories of the demonic path and had no intention of rescuing Xiahou Yuan.


    Rescue Xiahou Yuan?


    For what?


    When Xiahou Yuan was still around, these demonic lords, who roamed the Five Domains, were all constrained; even if they wanted to cultivate by killing a vige, they faced great restrictions.


    On the surface, Xiahou Yuan led the demonic path of the Five Domains in a standoff against righteous sects like Tianjian Sect.


    The demonic forces were unprecedentedly strong.


    But deep down, only they knew.


    With Xiahou Yuan around, the heads of the demonic sects felt like there were swords hanging over their heads.


    They could no longer kill and cultivate without worry.


    If Xiahou Yuan wasn''t so terrifying, with an iprehensible oppressive power over demonic leaders, forget about fighting against righteous sects like Tianjian Sect, they nine demonic lords would have rebelled long ago.


    "Xiahou Yuan hase out. What should we do?"


    "Tianjianzi, what''s going on? Wasn''t it said that it''s nearly impossible to escape from Great Abyss''s eighteen floors? Useless!"


    "Now, the first thing to do is to confirm whether Xiahou Yuan has trulye out of Great Abyss."


    The demonic lords questioned each other, and even with their suppressed power, the terrifying aura of a demonic lord burst forth, making it impossible for ordinary seventh or eighth-level experts to approach.


    "Enough."


    "Xiahou Yuan has indeede out of Great Abyss."


    One of the demonic lords spoke. He had narrow, slightly feminine eyes, giving him a sinister air.


    "Jiang Jianke, who was stationed outside Great Abyss, is dead, and those guards have already been ''soul-searched'' by someone."


    The demonic lord paused for a moment and continued, "Xiahou Yuan has indeede out."


    As soon as these words were spoken, silence fell upon the great hall.


    All the demonic lords fell silent.


    Xiahou Yuan hade out.


    So what should they do? Should they continue to wait and see? Or should they apologize proactively?


    If they continued to watch, what if they angered Xiahou Yuan? But if they proactively apologized, would Xiahou Yuan forgive them?


    The demonic lords thought and thought, feeling that no matter what choice they made, it would be difficult to resolve the situation.


    "Xiahou Yuan not only emerged."


    "His strength has at least recovered to the Ninth Realm."


    At this moment, a plump and beautiful woman spoke up.


    "The Ninth Realm?"


    "How is that possible?"


    A fiery-tempered demonic lord couldn''t help but interject.


    Leaving aside Xiahou Yuan being suppressed, his physical and spiritual bodies were already sealed by Tianjianzi and other peak Ninth Realm experts, with limbs locked using a thousand-year-old deep-sea precious metal, even suppressing a ninth-level expert would be difficult, let alone enduring it for twenty-five years under the depths of Great Abyss''s eighteen floors?


    "A while ago, I secretly instigated Bian Miao, Yin Shi, and other peak eighth-level demonic leaders to take action against Xiahou Yuan."


    "The result."


    "Bian Miao and the others haven''t contacted me until now."


    The plump and beautiful woman spoke.


    In fact, she withheld some information, such as not only Bian Miao, Yin Shi, but also one of her disciples.


    "Bian Miao, Yin Shi?"


    Hearing this, the demonic lords on the scene frowned.


    They had heard of these rising stars of the demonic path.


    Especially Yin Shi, whose assassination methods were enough to make ninth-level experts wary.


    To deal with these two quietly, ordinary ninth-level experts couldn''t manage it.


    When the plump and beautiful woman said Xiahou Yuan had already recovered to the Ninth Realm, there was absolutely no exaggeration.


    "Moyang, why don''t you speak up?"


    "What should we do now?"


    A demonic lord furrowed his brow, looking towards Moyang, who sat in the foremost position.


    This time, several of them were able to gather together solely due to Moyang''s invitation.


    When Xiahou Yuan was still around, as subordinates of the Demon Emperor, they followed Moyang''s lead.


    After Xiahou Yuan was suppressed, the nine demonic lords scattered, but Moyang''s influence remained the strongest.


    "What should we do?"


    "Anyway, I don''t want to return to the way things were before."


    Moyang, the Demon Lord, sneered.


    The other eight demonic lords breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Moyang''s statement.


    Not only Moyang didn''t want to, but neither did they.


    "Moyang, please tell us your thoughts quickly."


    The demonic lord who spoke first immediately inquired.


    With their understanding of Moyang, since he dared to say so, he must have confidence and a n.


    "When Xiahou Yuan emerged from Dayuan, he will certainly seek revenge on Tianjian Sect."


    "Twenty-five years ago, Tianjianzi personally sealed Xiahou Yuan. With this grudge unaddressed, do you think Xiahou Yuan can bear it?"


    Moyang retorted.


    "Indeed."


    "At that time, Tianjianzi was not a good person either. He broke Xiahou Yuan''s mental state with Bai Qing. Now that Xiahou Yuan hase out, he won''t cause us trouble for the time being."


    "However, Tianjian Sect is not easy to provoke, especially Tianjianzi, who is known as the strongest in the world."


    "If Xiahou Yuan seeks revenge on Tianjian Sect, we just need to watch."


    The demonic lords contemted along with Moyang''s words.


    They breathed a sigh of relief.


    "But."


    "What if?"


    Suddenly, the plump and beautiful woman frowned.


    "What if Xiahou Yuan doesn''t go after Tianjian Sect, but insteades after us?"


    The plump and beautiful woman raised the most worrying question for the demonic lords.


    Indeed.


    What if? Xiahou Yuan, this person, has always been unpredictable.


    "What if?"


    Moyang sneered again.


    "This is why I called you all here."


    "Although this possibility is small, it still needs to be considered."


    Moyang, who had lived for hundreds of years, naturally thought things through thoroughly.


    "This underground pce, which I spent twenty years building, is equipped with nine Heavenly Grade demonic arrays inside."


    "We nine demonic lords, as long as we sit in the nine Heavenly Grade demonic arrays, can use the terrain. Even if a tenth-level expertes, we can hold them off for a while."


    "As for Xiahou Yuan, he definitely won''t be able to do anything to us. After a while, he won''t want to continue facing off against us."


    "Even if he really does, we''ll secretly contact Tianjianzi. He must be very interested in Xiahou Yuan."


    Moyang was confident.


    As a demonic leader, he didn''t mind cooperating with righteous sects.


    "Nine Heavenly Grade demonic arrays?"


    "Moyang, you are bold indeed."


    "No wonder I felt a bit suppressed when I entered this underground pce. So it''s because of the Heavenly Grade demonic arrays."


    The other demonic lords murmured, their spirits slightly shaken.


    They were well aware of the power of Heavenly Grade demonic arrays. One Heavenly Grade demonic array could suppress a ninth-level expert.


    Not to mention nine?


    "Alright."


    "These are the array eyes of the Heavenly Grade demonic arrays. Familiarize yourselves with them."


    Moyang''s thoughts moved slightly, and he sent eight pieces of jade to the eight demonic lords in front of him.


    "Array eyes?"


    "Interesting, these nine arrays are not individual entities but seem like a whole. We, as the main demonic lords of the array, can control the power of the entire formation with a slight thought."


    The eight demonic lords quicklyprehended, feeling overjoyed.


    No wonder Moyang was so calm; he actually had such a trump card.


    At this moment, the eight demonic lords finally showed rxed smiles on their faces. Since learning that Xiahou Yuan had emerged, they had not rxed for a moment.


    Just then.


    A man dressed in ck armor rushed in, his expression flustered.


    "Demonic lords, someone, someone has broken in."


    This man''s voice trembled, apparently finding it difficult to believe even at this moment.


    "Someone has broken in?"


    Moyang''s pupils contracted.


    As the master of this underground pce, he had deployed arge number of personnel outside, with more than ten eighth-level demonic leaders.


    Under such circumstances.


    How could outsiders possibly break in?


    The underground pce was interconnected, with Heavenly Grade arrays suppressing it, rendering ordinary investigation methods useless.


    Even a ninth-level expert could be trapped for a while.


    "What''s going on exactly?"


    Moyang was about to inquire.


    A series of faint footsteps sounded.


    The demonic lords looked up and saw a tall woman standing at the door.


    At the sight of this woman.


    The nine demonic lords furrowed their brows.


    "Nuan Shu?"


    "How..."


    Moyang, the Demon Lord, was astonished.


    The other eight demonic lords were equally puzzled.


    They naturally knew Nuan Shu; when Xiahou Yuan was still around, Nuan Shu was one of the thirty-six guardians, second only to the nine demonic lords.


    Just as Moyang was about to continue questioning.


    Next to Nuan Shu, a tall figure appeared out of nowhere.


    At the sight of the tall figure, the minds of the nine demonic lords buzzed.


    "X-Xiahou Yuan?"


    The nine demonic lords seemed to have seen a ghost.


    They had just been discussing how to deal with Xiahou Yuan.


    They hadn''t expected Xiahou Yuan to appear before them.


    "My lords."


    Moyang immediately reacted.


    He bowed slightly to Xiahou Yuan and whispered, "I wonder what brings Your Excellency to this underground pce?"


    Although he felt unwilling to face Xiahou Yuan from the bottom of his heart.


    But thinking back to the days when Xiahou Yuan ruled, Moyang felt he could struggle a bit.


    Moreover.


    With the means Moyang had arranged over the years, with nine Heavenly Grade arrays and nine ninth-level demonic lords.


    Even facing the former Xiahou Yuan.


    Moyang wasn''t so desperate.


    "This ce is mine, what do you say?"


    Lin Yuan swept his gaze around, sensing the dense spiritual energy filling the air, and spoke.


    "Your Excellency is surely jesting?"


    Moyang''s face stiffened.


    He hadbored tirelessly for twenty years to build this underground pce, how could he just hand it over?


    Not to mention the nine Heavenly Grade demonic arrays within the pce, Moyang believed he could withstand anyone.


    "If you don''t give it, I''lle take it."


    Lin Yuan took a step forward directly, entering the pce.


    "Attack."


    Moyang''s mind tensed, without hesitation, he fullymunicated with the Heavenly Grade demonic arrays.


    The other eight demonic lords looked at each other. At this moment, they were all in the same camp, none of them willing to be under Xiahou Yuan''s control again.


    Boom.


    From all directions.


    Up, down, left, right.


    The air suddenly condensed.


    An invisible pressure emerged. Hum!!


    Strands of demonic energy appeared from all sides of the main hall, One gives birth to two, two gives birth to four, four gives birth to eight...


    In an instant.


    Countless strands of demonic energy intertwined and coiled, following specific trajectories, forming a killing array.


    However.


    Just as Lin Yuan stepped on the floor of the inner hall with his right foot.


    The countless demonic energies that had appeared from all over the main hall suddenly solidified.


    The killing array, already formed entirely of demonic energy, began to boil, as if receiving an imperial decree, all of it coiled around Lin Yuan''s feet, and a breath far surpassing before erupted.


    Majestic demonic might.


    As Lin Yuan entered the inner hall, the ninth-level pinnacle Moyang, who was already kneeling on the ground,


    Even without knowing why, facing Lin Yuan at this moment, he couldn''t help but kowtow incessantly!


    Lin Yuan walked past each demonic lord kneeling on the ground, trembling all over.


    Stepping up the steps, he turned and sat on the main seat of the hall.


    Slightly leaning, he looked down at the people kneeling in the hall.


    ...


    I need POWAAAA :D

    Chapter 116


    On the main hall.


    Lin Yuan sat high on the main seat, overlooking with divine presence.


    The nine Heavenly-grade demon arrays trembled incessantly.


    As if meeting their master, it took a long time before they quieted down.


    Xiahou Yuan was extremely special. In the world of demons, as long as one cultivated demonic techniques, they would have to kneel before him. This was a suppression stemming from the essence of life.


    Even if one''s strength surpassed Xiahou Yuan''s, they would still be affected. At most, the influence wouldn''t be as significant, but they would still have to kneel upon meeting him.


    Of course, only Xiahou Yuan himself understood this matter.


    As for those demon lords who had followed Xiahou Yuan, they didn''t understand the mysteries behind it. They only knew that when facing Xiahou Yuan, they couldn''t muster any rebellious thoughts.


    Moyang and the other eight demon lords thought that with the nine Heavenly-grade demon arrays, they could make Xiahou Yuan retreat, or at least hold him off.


    But unfortunately.


    The ninth-grade demon arrays, although powerful, required a demon lord to control them.


    As long as it involved a demon lord, Xiahou Yuan stood invincible.


    This was also why Lin Yuan dared to enter the underground pce alone.


    Outside the underground pce, Lin Yuan had long sensed the aura of the nine demon lords.


    Moreover, the current Xiahou Yuan was not the same as before.


    With the many methods Lin Yuan had mastered, he would only be stronger than the original Xiahou Yuan, and there would definitely be no idents.


    As Lin Yuan''s aura converged while seated on the main throne.


    The eight demon lords and Moyang felt a sense of relief.


    As if they had unloaded a burden of ten thousand catties, they could at least control themselves a little, No longer like before, involuntarily kneeling on the ground.


    However.


    Even so.


    The nine dared not stand up on their own, still kneeling respectfully on the ground.


    The scene that had just urred would be unforgettable for them.


    Especially for Moyang, who clearly sensed the fear from the depths of his soul and spirit.


    ''Why... it has been twenty-five years!!''


    Moyang''s heart trembled. Twenty-five years ago, he had felt this way in front of Xiahou Yuan.


    Originally, he thought that after twenty-five years had passed, his strength had advanced half a step, reaching the peak of the ninth rank.


    Plus, Xiahou Yuan had been suppressed for twenty-five years, sealed with thousand-year deep-sea fine gold blocking his physical and spiritual body. Even if he coulde out, he wouldn''t be able to reach his peak strength.


    Under these circumstances.


    He thought that facing Xiahou Yuan again wouldn''t be like it was twenty-five years ago, right?


    However, reality pped him hard.


    Nothing changed.


    No change at all.


    Whether it was the nine demon lords or activating the nine Heavenly-grade demon arrays, no matter how strong they were, when they saw Xiahou Yuan, they were like mice seeing a cat, trembling and waiting for judgment.


    "Greetings, Your Excellency, and congrattions for breaking the seal of the Abyss."


    Moyang gathered his thoughts and immediately spoke respectfully to Lin Yuan sitting on the main throne.


    He understood that it was a matter of life and death for him now. If he didn''t continue to show his submission to Xiahou Yuan, with Xiahou Yuan''s previous character, he would definitely not hesitate to kill him.


    What a joke.


    The Xiahou Yuan of the past was decisive and ruthless. Before the war between righteousness and evil twenty-five years ago, no one would have thought that Xiahou Yuan would stumble over a woman.


    "Your Excellency"


    The other eight demon lords took a deep breath and spoke in unison: "Greetings, Your Excellency, and congrattions for breaking the seal of the Abyss."


    Lin Yuan sitting high on the main seat wasn''t surprised at all.


    The demon heads didn''t value things like face and dignity, and the demon lords were no exception. Under the pressure of life and death, re-submitting to Xiahou Yuan was as normal as it could be.


    Perhaps life after submitting to Xiahou Yuan wouldn''t be easy.


    But if they didn''t submit, there would be no life after that.


    "You may all rise."


    After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan spoke directly.


    "For nearly twenty-five years, all intelligence about the Five Realms, especially about the Tianjian Sect, shall be handed over to me."


    Lin Yuan, this time, came personally to the underground pce not only to find a suitable breakthrough point but also to integrate the scattered forces of the demonic path.


    No matter which world it was, even if one was invincible, being alone was always inconvenient.


    Lin Yuan had subdued the nine demon lords, and taking over the remaining forces of the demonic path didn''t require any cost, nor did it need to start from scratch. With Xiahou Yuan''s deterrence, no demon lord dared to have any thoughts.


    It must be understood that twenty-five years ago, Xiahou Yuan''s physical and spiritual bodies were sealed and suppressed in the depths of the Abyss.


    Those demon lords didn''t even dare to approach to take advantage of the situation.


    Even if they were as strong as the ninth-grade demon lords, they would only observe from a distance outside the Abyss for a while, confirm that Xiahou Yuan couldn''te out, and then leave quickly.


    It could be imagined how fearful the demon lords were of Xiahou Yuan.


    "Yes, Your Excellency."


    Moyang rose slowly and respectfully said, "I will go get it for Your Excellency now."


    In no time.


    Moyang walked into the main hall again.


    Behind him were several subordinates carrying a pile of jade stones.


    "Your Excellency, these are all the intelligence about the situation in the Five Realms, and the intelligence about the Tianjian Sect and other righteous forces is at the forefront."


    Moyang said respectfully.


    Even if Lin Yuan hadn''t said anything, Moyang paid close attention to the movements of the Tianjian Sect and other righteous forces.


    "Very well."


    Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction.


    Shortly after, he picked up the jade stones and immersed his consciousness into them, quickly absorbing the information.


    A momentter.


    Lin Yuan put down the scrolls, his brows slightly furrowed.


    Moyang, the Demon Lord, presented hundreds of jade stones, meticulously recording every detail of the intelligence from all corners of the Five Realms.


    And within them, there was the information Lin Yuan was concerned about.


    "Twenty years ago, auspicious signs appeared at the Tianjian Sect''s mountain gate, with arge amount of heavenly and earthly qi gathering."


    "Fifteen years ago, the Tianjian Sect''s mountain gate once again gathered heavenly and earthly qi. In the following two years, the qi within a hundred miles of the Tianjian Sect became sparse."


    "Four years ago, the Tianjian Sect once again gathered heavenly and earthly qi, causing all nearby creatures to feel as if Mount Tai was pressing down on them."


    Numerous pieces of information converged in Lin Yuan''s mind.


    The Tianjian Sect possessed arge-scale vortex of heavenly-grade qi, with abundant qi within the sect, enough for ninth-realm practitioners to sustain their daily consumption.


    Even so, there had been five urrences of gathering heavenly and earthly qi, causing the qi within hundreds of miles to converge.


    What did this matter signify? It indicated that the qi emanating from the vortex of qi was no longer sufficient for someone''s cultivation.


    "The Tenth Realm."


    Lin Yuan put down the jade stones, specting in his mind.


    Only a legendary Tenth realmexpert could cause such widespread changes in heavenly and earthly qi.


    Of course, this didn''t mean that Tianjianzi had already broken through to the Tenth realm. Otherwise, Xiahou Yuan wouldn''t have survived these twenty-five years.


    If Tianjianzi became a Tenth realmexpert, he would definitelye to the Abyss first andpletely resolve Xiahou Yuan, his major threat.


    But from the changes in heavenly and earthly qi, one could deduce that Tianjianzi was already attempting to break through to the Tenth realm.


    And it was about to seed, as the range of thest gathering of heavenly and earthly qi had reached nearly a thousand miles.


    "His cultivation speed is quite fast."


    Lin Yuan stroked his chin. In Xiahou Yuan''s memories, Tianjianzi twenty-five years ago was indeed at the pinnacle of the Ninth realm, but still far from the Tenth realm.


    "But no matter how fast he progresses, he''s not faster than me."


    Lin Yuan didn''t care.


    Whether in the three worlds he had traversed before or the vast main world, in terms of cultivation speed alone, Lin Yuan had never seen anyone stronger than himself.


    Perhaps certain special beings with high-level bloodlines started much higher than Lin Yuan, but their subsequent cultivation speed definitely couldn''t match his.


    "Let''s break through to the Fifth Rank first."


    Lin Yuan felt no pressure.


    If it were the original Xiahou Yuan, the first thing he would do after breaking free would probably be to seek revenge on Tianjianzi and demand answers from ''Bai Qing''er'' for betraying him.


    But Lin Yuan wasn''t that foolish.


    With his current strength and methods.


    Even if he encountered a Tenth realm expert, he could exchange blows with them, or even have a back-and-forth battle.


    But there was no need for that at all.


    What Lin Yuan abhorred the most was a stalemate.


    Relying on his unparalleled insight, he only needed to cultivate for a few decades to surpass the opponent by one or even several major realms, sweeping away everything with an overwhelming posture.


    Why rush into it now?


    "Where is the core of the qi vortex beneath this underground pce?"


    Lin Yuan, seated high on the main seat, suddenly spoke.


    "Reporting to Your Excellency, I''m ipetent. I still haven''t found the core of the qi vortex." Moyang, the Demon Lord, said apologetically.


    The core of the qi vortex, also known as the source of qi, was the origin of the swirling qi.


    However, the source of qi was hidden underground, surrounded by abundant heavenly and earthly qi, making it difficult to pinpoint its exact location.


    After discovering this qi vortex, Moyang had searched for decades without sess. In the end, he simply stopped searching and built the underground pce, sealing off the qi emitted by the vortex.


    Anyway, the source of qi was underground and wouldn''t escape. It could be found slowly in the future.


    "No matter."


    "Today, I will find it for you."


    Lin Yuan stood up and walked towards the depths of the underground pce.


    Moyang and the other nine demon lords immediately followed suit.


    "Wait for me, Your Excellency."


    Nuan Shu immediately stuck close to Lin Yuan''s side.


    After walking for who knew how long.


    "Your Excellency, can you really find it?" Moyang and the other demon lords looked at each other, somewhat puzzled.


    Even a Tenth realmexpert would find it challenging to pinpoint the location of the source of qi directly.


    This had nothing to do with strength. The surroundings of the source of qi were filled with abundant heavenly and earthly qi, inadvertently suppressing the perception of cultivators.


    Even a Tenth realm expert, without their spiritual sense, would be like a blind person searching for the source of qi underground, no better than a Ninth realmpractitioner.


    Just then.


    Lin Yuan in front suddenly stopped.


    "Your Excellency."


    Moyang was about to speak.


    But he saw Lin Yuan raise his hand and gently press it towards the front right.


    Boom!


    Arge piece of soil copsed.


    Revealing a dim space.


    Only to see a milky-white spring continuously gushing out.


    The spring water was several meters square, with no bottom in sight. Surging heavenly and earthly qi pressed within the spring water. If observed closely, one would notice that all the spring water wasposed of substantial heavenly and earthly qi.


    Additionally, several strange flowers and exotic nts were blooming around the spring water.


    "The Spring of Qi?"


    Moyang, the Demon Lord, widened his eyes, subconsciously swallowing saliva.


    Whether it was cultivators of the righteous path or practitioners of the demonic path, they could both cultivate by inhaling and exhaling heavenly and earthly qi.


    However, for practitioners of the demonic path, this method was too inefficient. Why bother with such slow methods when one could directly kill and plunder?


    But the current spring of qi was filled with arge amount of substantial heavenly and earthly qi. Even for a Ninth realmDemon Lord, it was a great tonic.


    "It''s probably a medium-grade heavenly-grade spring of qi. Not bad, not bad. With this spring of qi, breaking through to the Fifth Rank shouldn''t be a problem."


    A delighted smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    The spring of qi at the Tianjian Sect was at leastrge-scale, surpassing the spring of qi in front of Lin Yuan.


    However, Tianjianzi definitely wouldn''t dare to fully absorb that spring of qi while attempting to break through to the Tenth realm. After all, the disciples of Tianjian Sect in the future would rely on that spring of qi for cultivation.


    Therefore, for over twenty years, Tianjianzi had attempted to break through to the Tenth realmseveral times, all while absorbing the qi within a hundred or even hundreds of miles.


    This method was slow but unavoidable.


    However, Lin Yuan was different. He had no qualms about using this spring of qi.


    "Moreover, there are over a dozen spirit herbs around the spring of qi, all treasures no less valuable than four-rank or five-rank cosmic treasures."


    Lin Yuan''s eyes gleamed slightly.


    "I''ll breakthrough to the Fifth Rank right here."


    Lin Yuan immediately made a decision. With such an excellent breakthrough location, it would be a waste not to seize it.


    Just as Lin Yuan was about to break through to the Fifth Rank.


    Across the Five Realms, the influence of the Demon Lord Xiahou Yuan''s emergence became increasingly profound.


    "Xiahou Yuan hase out. The days ahead are probably not going to be peaceful."


    "That''s for sure. If I were Xiahou Yuan, after being suppressed for decades, I would definitely seek ruthless revenge upon my release."


    "Ah, I wonder when the conflicts in this world will stop."


    "Stop? As long as there are people, it won''t stop. Twenty-five years ago, the forces of righteousnessunched the War of Righteousness and Demonhood, iming to suppress Xiahou Yuan and bring peace to the world."


    "But what happened afterwards? Xiahou Yuan was indeed suppressed, but the world wasn''t peaceful. Those demon lords seemed to have gone crazy as soon as their shackles were removed."


    Practitioners from various forces and realms quickly exchanged information.


    Especially those who had participated in the suppression of Xiahou Yuan, they suddenly panicked, fearing that Xiahou Yuan might target them first upon his release to settle scores for their actions years ago.


    "No, I have to go to the Tianjian Sect to discuss how to proceed from here."


    "Right, if it weren''t for Tianjianzi, we wouldn''t have offended Xiahou Yuan so severely."


    "Let''s go find Tianjianzi and demand an exnation."


    Practitioners from various forces, including many Ninth realmexperts, headed towards the Tianjian Sect.


    Meanwhile.


    At the Tianjian Sect.


    Amidst the misty clouds.


    Like a fairnd.


    Suddenly.


    Boom!


    A terrifying aura continuously permeated the surroundings, under this aura,


    Even high-ranking Ninth realmexperts would feel uneasy.


    "Master."


    "The Master has emerged from seclusion."


    Seeing this, some elders of the Tianjian Sect were excited and respectfully bowed towards the pce on the highest peak.


    Half a monthter.


    The terrifying aura shrouding the entire pce gradually dissipated, and an old man with white hair slowly walked out of the pce.


    "Tianjianzi."


    "Pay respects to the Master."


    "Master, you''ve finallye out."


    Many disciples of the Tianjian Sect heaved a sigh of relief. During this time, powerful figures from all over the Five Realms came every day, seeking to meet Tianjianzi and inquire about how to deal with Xiahou Yuan.


    If it were just one or two people, it wouldn''t matter.


    As the number one power in the Five Realms, the Tianjian Sect, with Tianjianzi as the number one expert, could handle it.


    But it wasn''t just one or two peopleing.


    There were hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands.


    And they were all leaders of major forces or outright Ninth realmexperts.


    As a result, the Tianjian Sect was somewhat overwhelmed.


    Especially with Tianjianzi, the core figure of the Tianjian Sect, still in seclusion and unable to appear.


    Only heaven knew how much pressure the Tianjian Sect had been under during this time.


    But now, everything was finally over.


    ...

 Chapter 117

    Chapter 117


    Perhaps most disciples of Tianjian Sect didn''t know what Tianjianzi''s emergence from seclusion this time really meant.


    But the deputy sect masters and the elders of Tianjian Sect were well aware that Tianjianzi''s emergence from seclusion this time might mean taking that steptranscending the Ninth Stage and bing one of the rare experts of the Tenth Stage in tens of thousands of years.


    "Master."


    An elder of Tianjian Sect looked at Tianjianzi, his eyes turning red. In this generation of Tianjian Sect, a Tenth Stage expert had finally emerged once again. Along with Tianjianzi''s emergence from seclusion, a breath that surpassed the Ninth Stage spread throughout Tianjian Sect.


    Inside Tianjian Sect, those strong individuals who hade because of Xiahou Yuan''s matter suddenly changed their expressions. Over a dozen figures shot up into the sky, incredulously looking at Tianjianzi who stood with hands behind his back.


    "Tianjianzi, you?"


    These over a dozen figures were naturally Ninth Stage experts. They had gathered here just to await Tianjianzi''s response.


    "Tianjianzi, have you taken that step?" An old Ninth Stage expert''s voice trembled as he couldn''t help but ask.


    As a Ninth Stage expert, he naturally noticed that Tianjianzi''s aura hadpletely surpassed the Ninth Stagenot halfway, nor close, butpletely.


    If Ninth Stage experts were like the bright moon in the sky, overlooking the mortal world from above, now Tianjianzi was like the vast starry sky, even if asrge as the bright moon, still just a corner of the sky.


    "Correct."


    Tianjianzi nodded slightly, his expression proud. "We have seen the Sect Master," over a dozen Ninth Stage experts from various major forces took a deep breath and bowed together.


    Since ancient times, there had indeed been those who transcended the Ninth Stage and reached the Tenth Stage.


    But for tens of thousands of years, such individuals could be counted on one hand, each one a legendary figure who dominated an era.


    And now, in their era, was such an extraordinary existence going to appear once again?


    Over a dozen Ninth Stage experts looked at each other, feeling both joy and worry in their hearts. Joy because since Tianjianzi had taken that step, Xiahou Yuan naturally posed no threat.


    Worry because now that Tianjianzi''s strength had truly reached invincibility, could the major forces of the Five Realms still maintain their equal status with Tianjian Sect?


    After over a dozen Ninth Stage experts and the practitioners gathered in Tianjian Sect paid their respects to Tianjianzi, this newly ascended Tenth Stage expert was asked how to deal with Xiahou Yuan.


    "Now that I have reached the Tenth Stage, Xiahou Yuan poses no threat," Tianjianzi said calmly, continuing, "However, Xiahou Yuan is cunning and deceitful. If we actively seek him out, we might just alert him."


    At this statement, the strong individuals present nodded one after another. Indeed, Xiahou Yuan was not a fool. If the righteous forces took the initiative and showed confidence, they would definitely scare off Xiahou Yuan.


    At that time, Xiahou Yuan might investigate the reasons and upon learning that Tianjianzi had broken through to the Tenth Stage, it would be even less likely for him toe knocking.


    "So, this time I broke through, I used secret techniques to suppress my aura as much as possible, so that the breakthrough phenomenon did not spread outside Tianjian Sect."


    "In other words, currently in the world, only you all know that I have reached the Tenth Stage."


    With this, Tianjianzi paused for a moment before continuing, "To ensure that this matter does not leak out, everyone will stay here for a while."


    "In the past, when I suppressed Xiahou Yuan, I formed a deep enmity with him. As long as he regains his strength, he will definitelye seeking revenge."


    "All we need to do is wait for him toe to us."


    Tianjianzi''s expression was confident.


    "Master has a good n," the others in the field suddenly realized.


    With Xiahou Yuan''s strength, even a Ninth Stage expert might not be able to find him if he truly wanted to hide. The vast and expansivend of the Five Realms, if Xiahou Yuan nestled in a corner, how could a Tenth Stage expert find him?


    But by utilizing Xiahou Yuan''s enmity with Tianjianzi, concealing information, and letting Xiahou Yuane of his own ord, it was definitely the best strategy.


    At that time, even if Xiahou Yuan recovered to his peak, he would only be at the Ninth Stage, probably unable to even struggle in front of Tianjianzi who had already reached the Tenth Stage.


    Time passed.


    In the blink of an eye, several years had passed.


    In the underground pce, Moyang Demon Lord, and the other nine Demon Lords guarded the Spring of Qi, preventing any idents from urring during Lin Yuan''s seclusion.


    "I wonder how His Majesty''s seclusion is going?" Moyang Demon Lord, looked a little curious. In these years, he keenly felt the concentration of the surrounding natural Qi decreasing at a terrifying rate.


    And the obvious reason for this was Lin Yuan swallowing the Spring of Qi.


    However, the more this happened, the more unbelievable it seemed to Moyang Demon Lord. After all, the Heavenly Spring of Qi was no ordinary object.


    A medium-sized Heavenly Spring of Qi, just the daily exuding of natural Qi, was enough for several Ninth Stage experts to practice daily.


    And now, with the surrounding concentration of natural Qi plummeting, it was clear that the Spring of Qi was being consumed frantically.


    For Moyang Demon Lord, if one were to swallow a Heavenly Spring of Qi to this extent in such a short time, one''s entire body would probably be blown up by the massive amount of Qi.


    "His Majesty must be fine."


    Nuan Shu nced at Moyang Demon Lord, beside him.


    She had an almost ''admiring'' trust in Lin Yuan. Seeing Moyang Demon Lord, murmuring like this, she thought he must be up to no good again.


    "You can trust mepletely" Moyang, the Demon Lord, quickly said. Although Nuan Shu''s cultivation was far inferior to his own, he couldn''t deny her high status in Yuan''s heart.


    Especially in the past twenty-plus years, while other Demon Lords hesitated, only Nuan Shu tirelessly served the Master.


    Comparing this, even though Moyang and other Demon Lords were not saying, Nuan Shu''s importance had definitely risen in the Master''s eyes. If Nuan Shu spoke ill of him in the Master''s ear, Moyang, the Demon Lord, really couldn''t bear it.


    At this moment, Moyang, the Demon Lord, regretted a bit. If he had known the Master could emerge from the abyss, he would have been the first to rescue him.


    "Hmph."


    "I hope so," Nuan Shu coldly snorted again, not pursuing further.


    Just then, boom! A vast aura surged out from the space where the Spring of Qi was located, filling the entire underground pce. Before this aura, even strong individuals like Moyang, a Ninth Stage expert, couldn''t help but retreat repeatedly, unable to withstand it.


    "Master, is this a breakthrough to the Tenth Stage?" Moyang, the Demon Lord, was greatly shocked. Actually, with the massive consumption of the Spring of Qi, he had already spected.


    Who else besides challenging the legendary Tenth Stage would consume the Spring of Qi like this?


    For cultivators, natural Qi was like food. But eating too much food could burst one''s stomach.


    Only through cultivation breakthroughs wouldrge amounts of natural Qi be consumed to replenish oneself.


    "The Tenth Stage?" The other eight Demon Lords nced at each other.


    Since ancient times, the limit for cultivators in the demonic path had been the Ninth Stage. There had never been a Demon Lord who reached the Tenth Stage.


    Twenty-five years ago, if Lin Yuan had broken through to the Tenth Stage, there wouldn''t have been any involvement with Tianjian Sect. The entire Five Realms would have fallen under the control of the demonic path.


    While Moyang and the others were in turmoil, a tall figure walked out from the space where the Spring of Qi was located. Lin Yuan''s face was calm as he leisurely walked out, emitting no aura, resembling an ordinary person.


    But Moyang and the other Demon Lords became even more respectful, understanding that this was the realm of returning to simplicity.


    "Master." Moyang, the Demon Lord, followed behind Lin Yuan and arrived at the main hall of the pce.


    Next, Moyang reported on what had happened over the past few years. When he finished, he couldn''t help but ask, "Master, have you entered the Tenth Stage?"


    This question caught everyone''s attention.


    This was the Tenth Stagethe realm that no Demon Lord had ever entered. Even in the Five Realms, Tenth Stage experts were extremely rare, numbering no more than five individuals in tens of thousands of years.


    "The Tenth Stage?" Lin Yuan looked down at everyone and shook his head slightly. "I''m not at the Tenth Stage."


    Lin Yuan indeed wasn''t at the Tenth Stage. He was at the Fifth Rank, a Tier 5 Evolver in the main world, known as the "Land-Sinking Level". As for the Tenth Stage in this world, strictly speaking, it was only equivalent to a transitional stage between the Fourth and Fifth Ranks.


    If one had topare, at least it would be the Eleventh Stage to be equivalent to the Fifth Rank.


    "The Fifth Rank." Lin Yuan felt the immense power within him. It was a terrifying power that could shatter continents and bring about the end of life on a.


    In the main world, a Tier/Rank 5 Evolvers were hailed as the strongest beings on the surface. The battle between two Tier 5 Evolvers was enough to cause the deaths of countless beings on a.


    Even some powerful Tier 5 Evolvers could turn a life-bearing into a dead one, where life would never be born again for tens of millions of years.


    "Just take it slowly."


    "It''s only been thirty years."


    "There''s still a hundred and seventy years."


    Lin Yuan wasn''t in a hurry. It was still early for him to leave this world.


    "Not the Tenth Stage?" Moyang, the Demon Lord, was a bit puzzled. Just based on the immense aura Lin Yuan emitted while cultivating, how could he still be at the Ninth Stage?


    You had to know, Moyang, the Demon Lord, was at the Ninth Stage, the pinnacle of the Ninth Stage, but even so, he couldn''t withstand the aura Lin Yuan had just emitted.


    Was this still the Ninth Stage?


    Moyang couldn''t understand. But Lin Yuan also had no reason to deceive him. Since he said he wasn''t at the Tenth Stage, then he definitely wasn''t.


    "Could it be a half-step to the Tenth Stage?" Moyang, the Demon Lord, tried to think of a possibility. But even a half-step to the Tenth Stage would only make him slightly stronger. It wouldn''t be enough topletely overwhelm others, right?


    "Doesn''t matter."


    "Since the Master is out, whether it''s the Ninth Stage or the Tenth Stage, it doesn''t make a difference to me." Moyang, the Demon Lord, decided not to dwell on it.


    Time passed.


    Half a year went by.


    On this day, Lin Yuan was in meditation.


    Nuan Shu hurriedly walked in, stopped behind Lin Yuan, and whispered, "Master, someone is looking for you."


    "Looking for me?" Lin Yuan opened his eyes.


    "Yes," Nuan Shu also seemed surprised, even incredulous.


    "It''s the Elder from the Zhi Ge Sect."


    Nuan Shu hesitated for a moment before whispering.


    "The Zhi Ge Sect?" Lin Yuan pondered.


    The Zhi Ge Sect was a force in the Eastern Region, second only to Tianjian Sect, a behemoth known throughout the Five Realms.


    "In every generation of the Zhi Ge Sect, there has been a Ninth Stage expert presiding, with deep heritage. Twenty-five years ago, during the conflict between the righteous and demonic factions, the Zhi Ge Sect also contributed to suppressing Xiahou Yuan."


    "However, the Elder of the Zhi Ge Sect, although only at the Eighth Stage in strength, holds high status and authority within the sect. Even the current Ninth Stage Sect Master is his disciple."


    "What does he want?" Lin Yuan pondered.


    "He ims to have important information that he will only disclose to you, Master," Nuan Shu replied in a low voice. "But I suspect something is amiss with him. It''s highly likely to be a ruse. Master, please be cautious and don''t trust him."


    "Let him in," Lin Yuan said casually.


    ording to Nuan Shu''s suggestion, the Elder from the Zhi Ge Sect voluntarily sealed his meridians toe and see Lin Yuan. Otherwise, as a mere Eighth Stage expert, he wouldn''t even be able to approach the pce outside the underground.


    If Nuan Shu hadn''t been sure that the Elder from the Zhi Ge Sect posed no threat, she wouldn''t have brought him here.


    A momentter, an elderly man with white facial hair entered the hall. On both sides, the nine Demon Lords cast sidelong nces, while a tall figure on the main tform looked down at him.


    "Greetings, Demon Emperor," the old man said calmly, bowing slightly to Lin Yuan.


    "How amusing," Lin Yuan''s face broke into a smile. "You, an Elder of a righteous sect, havee to see me, a demon, and even bow in respect?"


    From a standpoint of identity and status, for the Elder of the Zhi Ge Sect to encounter Xiahou Yuan without immediately attacking was already a sign of great restraint. But bowing in respect? That was beyond belief.


    "The world is ignorant, only knowing that demons cause chaos. But Demon Emperor, you are different from other demons," the Elder from the Zhi Ge Sect said calmly.


    "Is that so?" Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. "I''ve lived for four or five hundred years. I''ve seen what the Five Realms were like before the Demon Emperor emerged."


    The Elder from the Zhi Ge Sect paused for a moment, then solemnly continued, "Two hundred and eighty years ago, the Demon Emperor emerged. Before his emergence, demons roamed freely in the world."


    "You old fool, what nonsense are you spouting?" Moyang, the Demon Lord on the right, frowned.


    The Elder from the Zhi Ge Sect was correct. Before Xiahou Yuan''s demonic powers fully developed, demonic overlords were rampant, often piging and destroying viges and towns.


    "What exactly do you want to say?" Lin Yuan asked calmly from his high seat.


    "I want to inform the Demon Emperor that the Tianjian Sect is now a dangerous ce. Even if the Demon Emperor wishes to seek revenge, I advise against it," the Elder from the Zhi Ge Sect said gravely.


    As soon as these words were uttered, the Demon Lords on both sides were astonished. What had happened? Was this Elder from the Zhi Ge Sect here to pass on information to the Demon Emperor?


    "In fact, twenty-five years ago, Tianjianzi wanted to fight against the Demon Emperor. I advised my disciple not to intervene, but it was futile," the Elder from the Zhi Ge Sect sighed.


    "With the Demon Emperor suppressed, as I expected, chaos has returned to the Five Realms."


    "Why are you telling me all this?" Lin Yuan looked down from his throne, his tone calm.


    "Because the Demon Emperor is a good person," the Elder from the Zhi Ge Sect pondered for a moment, organizing his thoughts.


    Describing Xiahou Yuan as a ''good person'' was extremely contradictory to his identity as the Demon Emperor.


    "Although you, Demon Emperor, are cold-blooded, ruthless, and cruel, with hands stained with blood, resorting to any means to achieve your goals," the Elder from the Zhi Ge Sect took a deep breath, then solemnly continued, "you are still a good person."


    "A good person?" Lin Yuan''s smile faded, and he said calmly to himself:


    "A good person wouldn''tmit so many atrocities."

 Chapter 118

    Chapter 118


    "Good person?"


    In the grand hall, the various demon lords, including Moyang Demon Lord, couldn''t help exchanging looks.


    For beings like them, Xiahou Yuan was definitely not a good person.


    Thirty years ago, before the war between the righteous and demonic forces, Xiahou Yuan ruled over the demonic realms,manding countless demon lords. Why did none of the demon lords dare to rebel against him? Because any disobedient ones were killed by Xiahou Yuan.


    The Elder of the Zhi Ge Sect was not wrong in saying so. Xiahou Yuan''s hands were indeed stained with blood. However, most of that blood belonged to other demon lords. The next in line were the strongmen of the righteous factions.


    "Three years ago, my disciple went to Tianjian Sect with strongmen from other sects and has not returned since. The lifefire left in the sect has shown no signs of disturbance."


    "The current Tianjian Sect probably has gathered over seventy percent of the strongmen from the five domains. That Tianjianzi has at least stepped into the tenth realm."


    "If the Demon Emperor intends to continue seeking revenge on Tianjianzi, you should think twice."


    The Elder of the Zhi Ge Sect continued. He did not know that Tianjianzi was already a tenth realm evolver and was currently lurking in Tianjian Sect, waiting for Xiahou Yuan toe for revenge.


    However, based on his keen intuition and theck of any news from his disciple for so long, he sensed that something was amiss. He spected that Tianjian Sect might have set a trap, waiting for Xiahou Yuan to arrive.


    Thirty years ago, he failed to stop his disciple, resulting in the war between the righteous and demonic forces. Xiahou Yuan was suppressed, and the demon lords lost their restraints, causing chaos once again.


    This time, the Elder of the Zhi Ge Sect felt that he should do something.


    At the very least


    Xiahou Yuan should not be suppressed again.


    The thoughts of the legendary demon lord Xiahou Yuan left the Elder of the Zhi Ge Sect in aplicated state.


    He came alone to tell Xiahou Yuan these things, undoubtedly betraying the Zhi Ge Sect and the righteous factions.


    But as long as the creatures of the five domains were in a slightly better situation, bearing some infamy was nothing.


    "Is that all?"


    Lin Yuan looked around at the demon lords.


    "My Lord, what this old man said does make some sense."


    Moyang Demon Lord pondered for a moment. Based on the information he currently possessed, he knew that many strongmen from the five domains had gone to Tianjian Sect in recent years. Their purpose could be guessed; it was probably rted to Xiahou Yuan''s escape.


    However, Moyang Demon Lord was just a demon lord and could not possibly understand the righteous factions like the Elder of the Zhi Ge Sect did.


    "In that case, none of you should send anyone near Tianjian Sect in the near future." Lin Yuan said.


    In fact, even if the Elder of the Zhi Ge Sect hadn''te to warn him, Lin Yuan wouldn''t foolishly go to Tianjian Sect seeking revenge. Xiahou Yuan might do such a thing, but Lin Yuan was not Xiahou Yuan.


    In Lin Yuan''s estimation, Tianjianzi was already a tenth realm cultivator. Coupled with the fact that he was on his own territory and could activate the traps left by his predecessors in Tianjian Mountain Gate, he could be considered either a peak tenth realm or even an eleventh realm.


    Lin Yuan wouldn''t consider seeking revenge until he reached the thirteenth realm. And the thirteenth realmwas roughly equivalent to the sixth to seventh stage of the fifth rank.


    In the depths of the underground pce.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    Compared to several years ago, the medium-sized Heavenly grade Spring of Qi that continuously gushed out, now had shrunk several circles, only about half a meter in radius.


    In fact, if it weren''t for the Spring of Qi being connected to the veins, able to continuously draw in the vitality of the millions of miles around, it would have dried up long ago.


    "Not bad."


    Lin Yuan nced at the Spring of Qi.


    After breaking through to the fifth rank, his demand for the vitality of heaven and earth had decreased significantly. The current small Spring of Qi was more than enough.


    "Fifth rank."


    Lin Yuan''s mind sank into the Mind Pce between his eyebrows.


    In the central area of the spiritual "gxy"posed of arge amount of Yin and Yang power, a virtual figure sat cross-legged. This virtual figure was identical to Lin Yuan and sat in the center of the "gxy" like an ancient deity.


    "Spirit."


    At this moment, the virtual figure suddenly opened its eyes and fell into contemtion.


    The spirit wasposed of arge amount of spiritual power and was condensed by Lin Yuan. However, since the spirit was not substantial, it was extremely fast when it left the body. However, once separated from the physical body, the spirit became much weaker.


    "There are still ws."


    Lin Yuan carefully sensed his own spirit.


    Based on the principles of Tai Chi, Lin Yuan had established his spirit. However, the Yin and Yang forces on his spirit were not very prominent at the moment.


    Or rather, the forces of Yin and Yang hadpletely merged and could not be separated, which made Lin Yuan somewhat dissatisfied.


    "I follow the path of martial arts evolution, gathering and dispersing at will. How could it only gather and not disperse?"


    "Continue perfecting."


    Lin Yuan was not discouraged but focused on cultivation.


    For founders like Lin Yuan, every step taken was unknown and required constant refinement.


    If the spirit was dissatisfied, then focus on the spirit.


    If the physical body was dissatisfied, then focus on the physical body.


    Focus on whatever was unsatisfactory.


    Time passed.


    Another five years went by.


    "With the Tao of Tai Chi as the foundation, the Tao of Mysterious Yellow Path as the framework, and thousands of paths of evolution as the flesh."


    "Tai Chi Spirit, appear."


    Within Lin Yuan''s Mind Pce between his eyebrows.


    In the endless gxyposed of Yin and Yang, the spirit sat in the center but suddenly transformed into Yin and Yang.


    Then.


    This spirit split into two figures.


    One figure was enveloped in the aura of Yin, with a blurry face.


    The other figure was surrounded by the aura of Yang, with bright eyes.


    "This is the spirit I want."


    The two spirits exchanged a nce.


    In fact, these two figures were now more like Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit than spirits.


    To be precise, they were Yin Spirit, Yang Spirit, and whenbined, Tai Chi Spirit.


    "Yin Spirit, Yang Spirit."


    Outside, Lin Yuan opened his eyes.


    With a slight movement of his mind, the Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit left his body.


    And sat face to face with Lin Yuan''s original self.


    "Is this considered One Qi Separating Three Clears?"


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness was divided into three, looking at the three of himself with a strange expression on his face.


    Because it was the same consciousness, Lin Yuan now had three perspectives.


    "Whether it''s the Yin Spirit or the Yang Spirit, since they areposed of spiritual power and not restricted by the physical body, they can naturally be manipted as desired."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Lin Yuan spected that with the current strength of his Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit, if fully unleashed, they would probably reach a size of ten thousand zhang.


    Ten thousand zhang Yin Spirit.


    Ten thousand zhang Yang Spirit.


    In the grand hall of the underground pce.


    Nuan Shu sat at the first seat below the main seat, frowning in contemtion.


    During Lin Yuan''s seclusion, many matters of the demonic path were decided by Nuan Shu.


    The nine demon lords had noints about this, nor did they dare to.


    "It''s almost ten years. Why is Steward Hu still not sending any messages?"


    Nuan Shu''s expression showed a hint of worry.


    Steward Hu was one of the thirty-six stewards under the Demon Emperor, just like Nuan Shu back in the day.


    Simrly, he was loyal to the Demon Emperor.


    When Xiahou Yuan was suppressed in the depths of the Great Abyss eighteenyers below ground, Nuan Shu gathered the remaining demon lords and made every effort to rescue the Demon Emperor.


    Steward Hu infiltrated Tianjian Sect and provided support to Nuan Shu by transmitting information externally.


    During the Demon Emperor''s reign over the five domains, Steward Hu was famous for his ability to change and conceal his aura.


    With Steward Hu''s methods, if he fully concealed his aura, even ninth-realm strongmen wouldn''t be able to detect him.


    It was thanks to this ability that Steward Hu did well in Tianjian Sect and obtained a lot of information.


    Before Xiahou Yuan emerged from the Great Abyss, Nuan Shu led the remaining demon lords to repeatedly evade the encirclement and suppression of the righteous forces.


    The information transmitted by Steward Hu was invaluable.


    After Lin Yuan emerged from the Great Abyss, reasserted control over the nine demon lords, Nuan Shu sent a message to Steward Hu, asking him toe back and no longer lurk in the dangerous Tianjian Sect.


    But until now, Nuan Shu had not received any response from Steward Hu.


    "Could he have been discovered by Tianjian Sect?"


    Nuan Shu spected, then shook her head and dismissed the idea.


    She held Steward Hu''s "lifefire" and could know whether he was alive or dead.


    With Steward Hu''s loyalty to the Demon Emperor, if he were discovered by Tianjian Sect, he would certainly not hesitate to take his own life.


    Even if he didn''tmit suicide, if captured by Tianjian Sect and subjected to soul-searching, they would not spare Steward Hu''s life.


    Whichever oue it was, Steward Hu''s "lifefire" would have been extinguished.


    Now that the "lifefire" was still burning, it meant that Steward Hu was temporarily safe, at least his life was still intact.


    "I hope nothing unexpected happens."


    Nuan Shu sighed. Over the years, Steward Hu had risked his life lurking in Tianjian Sect to rescue the Demon Emperor.


    Now that the Demon Emperorhad returned, if he coulde back alive, his status would be no lower than hers.


    Tianjian Sect.


    Misty clouds drifted by.


    It looked like a fairnd.


    A middle-aged man with a simple and honest face walked on the mountain path, a hint of anxiety deep in his eyes.


    "Tianjianzi has reached the tenth realm, but intentionally blocked the information and hid with other strongmen from the five domains at the mountain gate. He must want to lure my Lord here."


    The middle-aged man with the simple and honest face thought to himself silently.


    He was Steward Hu, posing as a disciple, lurking in Tianjian Sect for decades, treading on thin ice until today.


    Although he was just a disciple and did not participate in Tianjianzi''s secret talks with the strongmen from the five domains.


    Over the years, many anomalies disyed by Tianjian Sect, along with the terrifying aura that permeated ten years ago, had led to many suspicions.


    "No."


    "I must get out."


    "I must inform my Lord, he must note to Tianjian Sect."


    Steward Hu settled his mind and began to ponder carefully.


    Apart from conveying crucial information, Steward Hu also realized that his identity couldn''t be hidden for much longer.


    In recent years, Tianjianzi''s terrifying consciousness had shrouded the entire Tianjian Sect several times.


    It had even passed over Steward Hu on several asions.


    Steward Hu had a feeling that if it happened a few more times, Tianjianzi would likely detect something unusual about him.


    His concealment techniques could deceive ninth-realm experts, but not someone like Tianjianzi, who was at the tenth realm. If it weren''t for his good performance in recent years, not drawing Tianjianzi''s particr attention, his identity might have been exposed several years ago.


    Steward Hu was not afraid of death. What he feared was that if he died, his Lord would fall into the hands of Tianjian Sect''s schemes.


    "I can only try that secret passage."


    Steward Hu made a decision.


    Tianjianzi had sessfully lured Xiahou Yuan into a trap, sealing off the entire Tianjian Sect, preventing anyone from entering or leaving.


    Disciples like Steward Hu were naturally no exception.


    However, the blockade was of all exits of Tianjian Sect.


    In recent years, Steward Hu had discovered a secret passage leading outside.


    But he didn''t know if it could evade Tianjianzi''s perception.


    However, Steward Hu had no choice now.


    He could only take the risk.


    At the peak of Tianjian Peak.


    Tianjianzi and several other strong individuals showed signs of impatience.


    It had been ten years.


    A full ten years.


    They had been waiting here, baiting their trap for ten years.


    But Xiahou Yuan never took the bait and never came for revenge.


    If it weren''t for the many strong individuals on the field who had personally experienced the battle between righteousness and demonic forces thirty or forty years ago and knew that Tianjianzi had shattered Xiahou Yuan''s state of mind with ''Bai Qing''er'', both sides would be equally matched.


    Perhaps they would have thought that Xiahou Yuan had given up his hatred?


    "Master, what''s the matter with Xiahou Yuan?"


    A ninth-realmexpert asked quietly. He hade to Tianjian Sect and stayed for ten years, and his own power must have been affected.


    "Yeah, Master, is Xiahou Yuaning or not?"


    "If he doesn''te, we''ll leave."


    Other strong individuals on the field chimed in.


    Although they hadn''t suffered any mistreatment in Tianjian Sect, they all had families and forces to manage.


    Disappearing for ten years was something no one could ept.


    It was only because Tianjianzi had such high prestige and was a once-in-a-millennium tenth-realmexpert that everyone hadn''t left long ago.


    "Don''t worry, everyone."


    Tianjianzi opened his eyes, his tone calm. "The longer he takes toe, the more severely injured Xiahou Yuan is. If you can''t wait for ten years, what are you going to do about dealing with Xiahou Yuan?"


    Tianjianzi paused for a moment before continuing, "But I believe Xiahou Yuan should being soon."


    Tianjianzi''s words were like a steadfast anchor, giving the strong individuals on the field great confidence.


    "Very well."


    "Since the Master says so."


    "We''ll wait a few more years."


    "Yes, to be honest, if I don''t see Xiahou Yuan''s body, I won''t dare to leave."


    "Hahaha, that makes sense."


    The expressions of many strong individuals immediately eased. Upon closer inspection, staying in Tianjian Sect wasn''t bad either. At least in terms of the supply of heavenly and earthly spiritual energy, it exceeded that of their own forces.


    Tianjianzi nced at the many strong individuals. In fact, he was also a bit anxious. But no matter what, if he gave up this opportunity and allowed the strong individuals on the field to leave, news of his breakthrough to the tenth realmwould spread.


    By then, how could Xiahou Yuan dare toe?


    Tianjianzi was about to continue speaking.


    Suddenly.


    Tianjianzi''s brow furrowed.


    He looked towards a certain position outside the mountain gate.


    ...


    I need POWAAAA :D

 Chapter 119

    Chapter 119


    Compared to the ninth-stage strong individuals, the perception of the tenth-stage strong individuals has greatly improved.


    For example, Tianjianzi, as long as he is willing, his perception of divine consciousness can envelop the entire Tianjian Sect.


    During the blockade of the mountain gate, Tianjianzi, in order to ensure that the information never leaks out, constantly covers it with his own perception of divine consciousness.


    With this method, even if it''s just a fly, as long as it leaves the range of Tianjian Sect, Tianjianzi will be aware of it.


    And just now, Tianjianzi keenly sensed that avery weak breath, along a certain secret passage, quickly left Tianjian Sect.


    "Hmph."


    "Seeking death."


    Tianjianzi sneered.


    Immediately, under the astonished gaze of other strong individuals, Tianjianzi raised his right hand and flicked his fingers.


    Boom.


    A terrifying sword intent condensed.


    Turning into a small sword the size of a palm, it only appeared for an instant.


    Then it disappeared in ce.


    At the edge of the Tianjian Sect''s mountain gate, Steward Hucautiously suppressed his breath, walking briskly forward.


    "Almost there."


    "Just a little more, and I can leave Tianjian Sect."


    Steward Hu barely breathed.


    Suddenly.


    A terrifying sword intent locked onto him.


    "Not good."


    Steward Hu''s expression changed drastically.


    His speed skyrocketed suddenly, trying to evade this sword intent.


    But it was already toote.


    How could one easily evade an attack from a tenth-stage strong individual?


    Swoosh.


    A small sword the size of a palm suddenly pierced through Steward Hu''s chest.


    "I..."


    Steward Hu widened his eyes.


    He could feel his vitality fading away at a terrifying speed.


    A trace of dreadful sword intent, continuously wreaking havoc on his limbs, bones, and primordial spirit.


    "I can''t die!"


    Steward Hu''s eyes were bloodshot.


    In a daze, he seemed to see the tall man who had picked him up from a city full of corpses over two hundred years ago.


    The majesty of the Demon Emperor at that time, annihting many strong individuals with a snap of his fingers, while he was ragged, reduced to dust.


    If it weren''t for the Demon Emperor, he would have died long ago.


    If it weren''t for the Demon Emperor, he wouldn''t be where he is today.


    In the blink of an eye, more than two hundred years had passed, and everything from the past seemed like a dream.


    "Before meeting the Lord, I can''t die!!"


    Steward Hu suddenly erupted with a strong will to survive, without hesitation, he triggered the forbidden technique of the demonic path, the ''Disintegration and Burning of Divine Power''.


    Once this technique was activated, one''s flesh, primordial spirit, and everything else would uncontrobly burn wildly until they turned into nothingness.


    During this process, the user would endure unimaginable pain.


    Of course, the effect was remarkable. During the duration of this forbidden technique, the user''s speed would increase tenfold or even a hundredfold.


    And as time passed, the more the flesh and primordial spirit burned, the faster the speed would be.


    In fact, almost all demon overlords would rathermit suicide than activate this forbidden technique.


    After all, once the ''Disintegration and Burning of Divine Power'' was activated, there was no turning back, and the flesh, primordial spirit, and everything else would quickly turn into nothingness.


    In other words, even if one escaped death, they would still die in the end.


    Before dying, they would also endure endless pain caused by their own burning.


    So this forbidden technique was somewhat useless, although it was widely spread, hardly any demon overlords were seen using it.


    What''s the point?


    "Hmm?"


    On the main peak of Tianjian Sect, Tianjianzi seemed to sense something, revealing a look of surprise on his face.


    "The Disintegration and Burning of Divine Power?"


    Tianjianzi naturally sensed the aura of this forbidden technique.


    After a moment of thought, Tianjianzi decided to let Steward Hu go.


    Firstly, using this forbidden technique would undoubtedly lead to death. Steward Hu had already endured his attack before this and could not support it for long.


    Secondly, even if Tianjianzi wanted to chase, he might not be able to catch up.


    In just a few breaths, Steward Hu had already fled hundreds of miles away, and his speed was getting faster and faster, almost uncontroble. Even if Steward Hu wanted to stop, he couldn''t, and in the end, he turned into nothingness at extreme speed.


    Therefore, there was no need to chase.


    "Just a mere ant."


    "No need to pay attention."


    Tianjianzi shook his head slightly, answering the doubts of the other strong individuals present.


    His sudden action just now naturally attracted the attention of the other strong individuals on the scene, so it was normal to exin it now.


    Deep inside Tianjian Sect.


    In a beautiful valley.


    Bai Qing''er sat on a huge rock, swinging her pure and delicate legs lightly, causing ripples to emerge.


    "Big Brother Xiahou."


    "Are you going toe find me?"


    Bai Qing''er looked towards the main peak of Tianjian Sect.


    She naturally knew Tianjianzi''s ns, and at this moment, Bai Qing''er was extremely conflicted.


    She hoped Xiahou Yuan woulde, because that would mean Xiahou Yuan still had feelings for her, even if it was hatred, it was still emotion.


    But with Tianjianzi''s ns, if Xiahou Yuan dared to approach, it could be said that he was doomed to die.


    Bai Qing''er didn''t want Xiahou Yuan to die now either.


    "Big Brother Xiahou."


    "If youe over, I will plead with the Sect Master to spare you aplete corpse."


    "At that time, you will be able to stay with Qing''er forever." (Crazy psycho)


    Bai Qing''er muttered to herself, a happy smile appearing on her face.


    Next to the spring of underground vitality, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, still cultivating enlightenment. Almost every time he traveled through worlds, most of his time was spent on cultivation.


    As for enjoyment?


    Under his Unrivaled Insight, Lin Yuan''s brilliance emerged every moment, advancing his understanding of cultivation and the principles of heaven and earth.


    For Lin Yuan, this was the greatest enjoyment.


    "Mysterious Yellow Path."


    Lin Yuan pondered the path of Mysterious Yellow evolution.


    By now, Lin Yuan hadprehended the fifth-rank level of this evolutionary path.


    However, precisely because of this, the difficulty of furtherprehension skyrocketed. After all, Lin Yuan was already at the fifth rank, andprehending the fourth and third ranks beneath that, even without Unrivaled Insight, would still have a slight effect.


    "The Way of Mysterious Yellow is the way of heaven and earth."


    Lin Yuan carefully pondered, often observing the heavens and earth,bining them with his own reasoning.


    "The path of martial arts evolution can be further perfected. If the Yin Spirit, Yang Spirit, and Tai Chi Primordial Spirit cannot be improved, then I shall perfect the physical body."


    As Lin Yuan cultivated, the aura emanating from him became obscure andplex. Vaguely, it seemed to transform into a ck hole, yet also resembled a ck-and-white Tai Chi pattern.


    Suddenly.


    The aura emanating from Lin Yuan increased slightly.


    It was as if he had surpassed some kind of restriction. His physical vitality increased, and his primordial spirit followed suit.


    "Fifth rank, third stage."


    Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face.


    Comparatively, within the current world''s cultivation system, the fifth rank third stage was roughly equivalent to the pinnacle of the twelfth realm, approaching infinitely close to the thirteenth realm.


    Pinnacle of the twelfth realm.


    Approaching infinitely close to the thirteenth realm.


    Such talent would surely astonish others in this realm. If other cultivators knew about this, they would likely feel ashamed and frustrated.


    For thousands of years, the strongest had only reached the tenth realm. As for the eleventh realm? It probably only appeared in the distant ancient era.


    The twelfth realm was even unheard of.


    Yet Lin Yuan had already begun to touch upon the thirteenth realm.


    "Wait a few more years. Afterpletely stepping into the thirteenth realm, then I will tten Tianjian Sect."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts were calm, thinking to himself. Although he wasn''t Xiahou Yuan, since his consciousness had descended into this person''s body, some karma naturally needed to be resolved.


    Furthermore, even if Lin Yuan wanted to let go of past grievances, it would also depend on whether Tianjian Sect was willing.


    ording to the senior elder of the Zhi Ge Sect, Tianjian Sect, along with many other powerful individuals in the Five Realms, were secretly plotting against Xiahou Yuan.


    "The rules of this world."


    Lin Yuan looked up and observed his surroundings.


    Although he couldn''t directly observe the essential rules like the divine weapons in the Divine Weapon World, he could at leastprehend the rules of this world much better than in the main world.


    The main world had powerful origins and perfect rules, making it exceptionally difficult for evolvers toprehend the essence of the rules.


    However, while traveling through worlds, the origins were weaker, and although the volume of rules wasn''t high, Lin Yuan could fullyprehend them first and then slowly make up for them in the main world.


    "I heard that in some cosmic secrets, independent of the main world, the rules are externally manifested. In those ces,prehending the rules is far more efficient than in the outside world."


    Lin Yuan, as the thirteenth disciple of the Red Kun Star Lord, could already ess high-level intelligence from the main world.


    This included cosmic secrets.


    Cosmic secrets, simr to small worlds,e in many varieties, and some even harbor powerful life forms.


    Each cosmic secret was a treasure of human civilization, especially those where the rules were externally manifested, making them rare and suitable forprehending the rules.


    "In the future, I can ask my teacher about the cosmic secrets."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    As long as Lin Yuan continued to demonstrate his talent and aptitude, he wouldn''t be afraid of not receiving the resources of human civilization. This was the treatment of a genius.


    With three goddesses by his side, geniuses would at most conceal their identities and wouldn''t face any suppression or targeting.


    The next day, Lin Yuan finished his cultivation.


    Sitting on the main seat in the great hall, listening to Nuan Shu and the nine Demon Lords report.


    "Your Excellency, there is still no news from Tianjian Sect."


    "Several Demon Lords from the Five Realms havee to pledge allegiance, but so far, there have been no Demon Lords of the eighth realm or higher surrendering."


    Nuan Shu quickly reported.


    Lin Yuan just sat on the main seat and listened casually.


    He naturally understood why there were no Demon Lords of the eighth realmor highering over.


    These Demon Lords ruled their territories, and why would they run to Lin Yuan''s side to take orders? Several years ago, when Lin Yuan took control of the underground pce and subdued the nine ninth-realm Demon Lords including Muyang Demon Lord, it was like cutting weeds without giving these nine Demon Lordsa chance to escape.


    Of course, it was also rted to Lin Yuan hardly ever showing his hand in front of outsiders since he emerged from the Abyss.


    The only time was outside the Abyss, where he single-handedly crushed the peak eighth-realm expert, Jiang Jiangke.


    But after that, whether it was subduing the young generation of Demon Lords such as Bian Mao or the nine Demon Lords including Muyang Demon Lord, none of it leaked out.


    This led to hesitation among the Demon Lordsoutside.


    "These trash, even if Your Excellency hase out, and they still won''te to pay their respects. They deserve to die."


    The Muyang Demon Lord and the other Demon Lords felt somewhat bitter. Following Lin Yuan''s orders, why were those Demon Lordsweaker than them still living carefree lives?


    Nuan Shu stood on the side, about to speak.


    Suddenly, Nuan Shu''s expression changed slightly.


    "Your Excellency, there''s a change in Steward Hu''s me of Life."


    Nuan Shu immediately looked towards Lin Yuan.


    "Go check."


    Lin Yuan remained unchanged.


    Nuan Shu immediately left the great hall.


    Not long after, Nuan Shu returned with a candle in his hand.


    At this moment, the candle me was extremely weak, swaying slowly as if it could extinguish at any moment.


    "This is Steward Hu''s me of Life."


    Nuan Shu''s expression was solemn.


    "Steward Hu?"


    Muyang Demon Lord and the other Demon Lordssecretly nced at Lin Yuan.


    It is well known that Nuan, the protector, and Hu, the Steward, are the two most loyal individuals to Xiahou Yuan.


    Even though Xiahou Yuan is suppressed in the depths of the Great Abyss''s eighteenyers, these two individuals do their utmost to rescue him.


    Especially Hu, the Steward, who goes as far as infiltrating Tianjian Sect, perhaps to gather more intelligence.


    "It''s Hu."


    Lin Yuan''s expression became slightly solemn as he looked at the candle in Nuan Shu''s hand, a me that could extinguish at any moment.


    Hum! In Lin Yuan''s sight, the breath of the candle began to spread, connecting with a distant location.


    "Hu is within a hundred miles now."


    Lin Yuan stood up.


    The me in Nuan Shu''s hand flew up andnded in Lin Yuan''s hand.


    "Hu has returned?"


    Nuan Shu was slightly puzzled, somewhat confused.


    As far as she knew, Steward Hu was in the Tianjian Sect.


    If he had escaped from Tianjian Sect, he should have sent a message in advance.


    "He''s already here."


    Lin Yuan caught the me and disappeared on the spot.


    Outside the underground pce.


    A ''meteor'' streaked quickly.


    If one looked closely, they could see that this ''meteor'' was almost intangible, leaving only some spiritual soul power to burn.


    Swish. Lin Yuan appeared before the ''meteor''.


    If it were someone else, even a ninth or tenth realm expert, it would be challenging to stop this ''meteor''.


    Because the speed of this ''meteor'' had already reached its peak, surpassing the speed of a tenth realm expert''s full sprint.


    But Lin Yuan simply pushed with his right hand, and the ''meteor'' stopped in ce.


    "Rise."


    Lin Yuan frowned.


    This ''meteor'' was Steward Hu.


    At this moment, his flesh and blood had long been incinerated, leaving only a trace of spiritual power to persist.


    "Condense."


    Lin Yuan''s mind moved slightly.


    Arge amount of heaven and earth aura gathered.


    Continuously turning into a gentle breath, injected into the remaining trace of Steward Hu''s spiritual power.


    Suddenly.


    With this trace of spiritual power as the center, a phantom figure quickly gathered.


    However, it could be seen that the phantom figure kept forming and burning.


    "My Lord." Steward Hu, looked pained. He seemed to sense Lin Yuan''s true strength and a hint of relief appeared on his face.


    Immediately, Steward Hu moved his lips and spoke a few words.


    At this moment, Nuan Shu and Moyang, the Demon Lord, rushed to the outside of the underground pce and witnessed this scene.


    After a moment. Lin Yuan gathered the aura of heaven and earth once again.


    However, the burning speed of Steward Hu became faster and faster.


    Finally, a look of relief and rxation appeared on Steward Hu''s face, as hepletely turned into nothingness under the endless burning.


    Lin Yuan stood in ce, seemingly pondering, unmoving.


    Nuan Shu gathered her courage and approached cautiously, asking, "My Lord, what did Steward Hu say in the end?"


    Nuan Shu naturally understood that Steward Hu was in a state of burning, which was the ''Disintegration and Incineration Divine Technique''.


    But wasn''t it said that one would be in extreme pain during the execution of this forbidden technique?


    Why did Steward Hu smile in the end?


    "He said two things."


    Lin Yuan''s tone was calm.


    The first sentence:


    ''Before dying, seeing my Lord, I have no regrets.''


    Lin Yuan stood tall, his sleeves fluttering, reviewing Xiahou Yuan''s memories once again, examining every detail about Steward Hu.


    "So, it was that little beggar."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts converged as he nced in the direction of Tianjian Sect and then turned back to the underground pce.


    The second sentence:


    ''Greetings to the Demon Emperor and congrattions in returning to the Five Realms.''


    The world will know the immense power of the Demon Emperor.

 Chapter 120

    Chapter 120


    The Disintegration and Burning Divine Technique is hailed as a forbidden art. Once it is executed, it cannot be reversed. Both the physical body and the primordial spirit will rapidly burn to ashes, turning into nothingness.


    However, this description is not entirely urate. The irreversibility is indeed true.


    Even Lin Yuan would find it difficult to forcibly halt it. Reshaping the primordial spirit with the qi of heaven and earth is merely a temporary solution, akin to a poisoned remedy, allowing the practitioner to continue enduring endless suffering.


    So, just now, Lin Yuan allowed Steward Hu to burn into nothingness.


    But thest sentenceeverything of the physical body and primordial spirit will burn to ashesis inurate.


    At least for Lin Yuan, after Steward Hu burned into nothingness, he had already intercepted a strand of pure spiritual power in advance.


    Inside the underground pce, beside the Spring of Qi, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    In front of him floated a strand of pure spiritual power.


    Apart from the spiritual power, the forces of Yin and Yang melded into the Tai Chi, isting the strand of pure spiritual power from the outside world.


    Without this method of istion from the world, the strand of pure spiritual power would have dissipated in an instant.


    When contemporary cultivators believe that the Disintegration and Burning Divine Technique burns everything of the physical body and primordial spirit, they are not entirely wrong.


    Because besides Lin Yuan, no one else can intercept this strand of pure spiritual power.


    Even those who are also at the peak of the Twelfth Realm or unprecedented experts of the Thirteenth Realm would find it nearly impossible.


    It''s not a matter of strength but abination of cultivation system and personal methods.


    Lin Yuan''s path of martial arts evolution integrates myriad paths and is considered perfect in every aspect.


    As for other cultivators? They simply cannot experience the encounters and experiences of Lin Yuan, nor do they have the Unrivaled Insight toprehend, which is why they remain stuck at the Ninth or Tenth Realms.


    "This strand of pure spiritual power is probably akin to the essence of a True Spirit?" Lin Yuan pondered silently.


    For Lin Yuan, as long as the essence of the True Spirit remains, it does not constitute true death.


    "How should it be nurtured?" Lin Yuan pondered.


    This essence of the True Spirit is extremely fragile. If nurtured directly with the qi of heaven and earth, it would turn to dust in the next moment.


    "Let''s temporarily nurture it within the ''Five-Colored Lotus''," Lin Yuan thought.


    With a slight movement of his mind, Lin Yuan slowly integrated this essence of the True Spirit into the nearby ''lotus flower'' that disyed five colors.


    The Five-Colored Lotus is a rare spiritual nt in this realm.


    When Lin Yuan broke through to the Fifth Rank, most of these rare flowers and nts were consumed, leaving only a few Five-Colored Lotuses.


    The nature of the Five-Colored Lotus is gentle, and it has extraordinary effects in nurturing the soul and spirit.


    It is extremely suitable for nurturing such a fragile essence of the True Spirit.


    Buzz.


    Along with Steward Hu''s essence of the True Spirit merging into the Five-Colored Lotus, Lin Yuan distinctly felt the essence stabilize and immediately slowly absorb the medicinal power of the Five-Colored Lotus, gradually strengthening.


    "Not bad."


    "After nurturing for a few years, this essence of the True Spirit should recover to the strength of an ordinary person," Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    As long as it reaches that point, Steward Hu''s consciousness will naturally revive once again.


    The only thing left is to find a suitable vessel for him.


    Hmm. Lin Yuan looked at the Five-Colored Lotus in front of him.


    In fact, there is no need to find a vessel. The Five-Colored Lotus in front of him is the best vessel, isn''t it?


    A strange expression appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    Having the perspective of the main world, Lin Yuan understood that life is not just limited to the human race.


    In the vast expanse of the main world''s universe, apart from the human race, there are still many powerful and peak races.


    They could be nt life, elemental life, energy life, and so on.


    This Five-Colored Lotus... If Steward Hu could absorb everything from it, it would undoubtedly be a great opportunity.


    Leaving aside other factors, nt-based lifeforms like this are renowned for their longevity.


    Of course, even if Steward Hu cannot absorb it, it''s not a problem. With Lin Yuan around, it''s just a matter of finding another vessel.


    Time passed slowly.


    In the blink of an eye, several years had passed.


    Lin Yuan had hardly left the underground pce, focusing solely on cultivating and enlightening.


    " Heaven and Earth."


    Lin Yuan appeared pensive. He faintly sensed that this world''s Heaven and Earth were extremely vast, seeming to be more than just the Five Domains.


    "Could it be that beyond the Five Domains, there are new great regions and continents?"


    Lin Yuan pondered. Before traversing, he had allocated a strand of his consciousness to roughly observe the overall situation of this world. However, he hadn''t paid much attention and only saw the most prominent five continents.


    "However, the fortune of this Heaven and Earth obviously began to flourish. Is it because of my influence?"


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts shifted.


    The so-called fortune of Heaven and Earth was incredibly profound, and Lin Yuan only gained some understanding after transmigrating three or four worlds.


    In summary, it meant that the fortunes of individuals would synchronize with the flow of time.


    When the fortune of Heaven and Earth flourishes, the frequency of geniuses and strong individuals being born increases significantly. Even the shackles and constraints of cultivation bottlenecks would quietly loosen.


    However, generally speaking, it was rare for a Heaven and Earth to experience such a state. It might not even ur once in tens of thousands of years.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan seemed to have noticed something and looked towards a nearby direction.


    There was a lotus flower disying five colors, swaying slightly at this moment.


    "Is consciousness awakening?"


    Lin Yuan had a hunch. After nurturing for several years, Steward Hu''s essence of the True Spirit had rapidly grown, reaching the brink of consciousness awakening.


    "Let me take a look."


    Lin Yuan stood in front of the Five-Colored Lotus, carefully observing.


    "I... I''m not dead?"


    Situ Ming (Steward Hu''s name) was somewhat dumbfounded. After executing the Disintegration and Burning Divine Technique, he had already prepared for death.


    Situ Ming only hoped to see his master onest time before dying and inform him of Tianjian Sect''s ns.


    But unfortunately...


    As the Disintegration and Burning Divine Technique continued, Situ Ming''s speed increased, and he couldn''t even stop anymore, let alone endure the endless suffering.


    However, just as Situ Ming felt utterly hopeless.


    He saw his master appear in front of him and try to save him.


    It was at this moment that Situ Ming vaguely sensed his master''s terrifying strength, that vast aura far surpassing even Tianjianzi, who had reached the Tenth Realm.


    Situ Ming died without regrets.


    But now?


    Situ Ming attempted to sense his surroundings.


    To his astonishment, he found that he had turned into a lotus flower.


    A lotus flower disying five colors.


    "Master?"


    Situ Ming''s perception continued to spread.


    He discovered a tall man appearing in front of him, and this tall man was his master.


    "Don''t worry."


    "Your soul and spirit are now nurtured within the Five-Colored Lotus."


    "Try to integrate into the Five-Colored Lotus as much as possible and take control of it."


    Lin Yuan spoke gently.


    Bing the main consciousness of the Five-Colored Lotus wasn''t an easy task. Even if the spirit of a powerful individual escaped, searching for a new vessel, it usually ended up in another human.


    As for using a nt as a vessel, let alone whether it could be achieved, even if sessful, what would happen next?


    However, Lin Yuan was different. In the main world, he possessed aplete set of secret techniques, namely the technique of seizing bodies.


    The Lord of the Red Kun Star Domain, for example, seized the body of a young Star-Sea Kun in the star sea, leading to his subsequent outstanding achievements.


    "Yes."


    Situ Ming naturally obeyed to Lin Yuan and immediately began to try to integrate into the Five-Colored Lotus, recing its main consciousness.


    "Good."


    Seeing this, Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    By helping Situ Ming in this way, he was also conducting a certain experiment. Moreover, if Situ Ming could truly be the main consciousness of the Five-Colored Lotus, his lifespan would increase to thousands or even tens of thousands of years at least.


    It could be considered as a contingency n left by Lin Yuan in this world.


    Tianjian Mountain.


    Tianjianzi and the other strong individuals tended to be increasingly restless.


    What''s going on with Xiahou Yuan? Is he stilling for revenge? Why has there been no movement for so many years? Even if he''s severely injured and suppressed in the 18th floor of the Abyss, why hasn''t he recovered yet?


    Aren''t demonic path cultivators experts at recovering from injuries? Can''t he just kill some people and absorb their blood essence to recover?


    "What exactly is happening?"


    "Could it be that Xiahou Yuan knows about my breakthrough, so he dares note?"


    Tianjianzi was also pondering. He realized that for the past few years, he had been like a fool staying on Tianjian Mountain. Not only him, but even the other strong individuals had been staying here.


    "This shouldn''t be the case."


    "For more than a decade, I''ve been blocking Tianjian Sect. Only a few years ago did that little demon go out."


    "However, after being struck by me and using the Disintegration and Burning Divine Technique, he could only fly faster and faster until hepletely vanished. How could he pass on information?"


    Tianjianzi was puzzled.


    But at this point, all he could do was continue to wait.


    After waiting for more than a decade, stopping now would imply that they had been wrong for the past decade. How could that be eptable?


    "Don''t worry, everyone."


    "I believe Xiahou Yuan wille soon."


    "We just need to hold on for a while longer."


    Tianjianzi spoke, trying to boost the morale of the impatient strong individuals.


    Meanwhile...


    While most of the strong individuals in the Five Domains remained trapped on Tianjian Mountain, waiting to ambush Xiahou Yuan for revenge, they were unaware that subtle changes were taking ce in the world.


    In a bustling city, a young beggar looked eagerly at the middle-aged man selling books in front of him, his eyes fixed on a tattered booklet on the man''s shelf.


    "Get lost, beggar. Where did youe from?"


    The middle-aged man selling books waved his hand, his face full of disgust.


    " I want that book," the young beggar gathered his courage and approached, pointing to the tattered booklet on the shelf.


    "Ten coins, do you have them?" the middle-aged man said irritably.


    "I don''t have ten coins," the young beggar shrank back, "but I have two coins."


    The young beggar reached into his pocket and pulled out two copper coins.


    "You actually have money?" the middle-aged man blinked in surprise.


    Then he picked up the tattered booklet and handed it to the young beggar. "I''m feeling generous today, so I''ll sell it to you at a discount."


    In fact, these booklets were purchased for a few coins from a bookstore that was about to close.


    Even if the young beggar had offered just one coin, he would have sold it.


    "Thank you."


    The young beggar hugged the worn-out booklet and ced the two coins on the shelf before leaving happily.


    "Fool," the middle-aged man muttered as he watched the young beggar walk away, a hint of disdain in his eyes.


    In a dpidated temple, the young beggar carefully read the booklet.


    "The Divine Refinement Technique?"


    The young beggar imitated the movements of the figures in the booklet.


    Unbeknownst to him, the primordial energy of heaven and earth slowly converged and flowed into his body.


    In just one day, the young beggar stepped into the First Realm.


    On a cliffside, a young man was being chased by dozens of ck-d figures.


    "Even if I die, I''ll return as a vengeful ghost," the young man''s face was filled with resentment as he jumped off the cliff.


    After an unknown period of time, the young man woke up from unconsciousness.


    "Where am I?"


    The young man found himself blocked by a piece of wood growing on the edge of the cliff.


    And not far away, a dark hole appeared on the almost smooth cliff, obviously man-made.


    The young man surveyed his surroundings and realized that his only hope for survival was to enter that hole.


    So he made his way towards the cave entrance with great effort.


    "Useless."


    "Three years ago, where did your talent go?"


    "For three whole years, you couldn''t even sense the primordial energy of heaven and earth, or form a vortex of primordial energy in your body. Yet you have the audacity to continue consuming the n''s cultivation resources?"


    An old man with a white beard was reprimanding a young man.


    The young man kept his head down, clenched his teeth, and unnoticed by anyone, a faint gleam of light shed on the ck ring on his right hand.


    With the flourishing of the fortune of heaven and earth, countless opportunities will arise, and countless geniuses will emerge, among whom the strongest geniuses can be said to be... the Sons of Fortune?


    In the pce underground.


    Although Lin Yuan hadn''t gone out, he could vaguely sense the changes in heaven and earth.


    This kind of change was extremely profound, even Lin Yuan felt shocked and surprised.


    Just then, not far away, the five-colored lotus suddenly withered.


    In the underground, the lotus root of the five-colored lotus faintly took shape.


    A human figure crawled out.


    This human figure was entirelyposed of lotus roots. Aftering out, he immediately knelt down and respectfully said to Lin Yuan, "Situ Ming pays respects to the Master."


    "Rise."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts moved slightly.


    He raised his right hand, and a faint wound appeared.


    Then a drop of silvery-red blood, like mercury, fell onto Situ Ming''s lotus root body.


    Immediately, the blood scattered and melted away.


    Situ Ming''s lotus root body began to change rapidly.


    Flesh, skin, limbs, and facial features grew out.


    In no time, a child of about ten years old appeared.


    "This?"


    Situ Ming widened his eyes.


    Originally, he was already delighted to escape from the five-colored lotus and crawl out of the ground.


    But now, with just a drop of blood from his master, he was transformed into a real human?


    Such a method? What''s the difference from the mythical gods who ''created humans''?


    "Thank you, Master."


    Situ Ming knelt down again, grateful.


    "No need."


    Lin Yuan waved his hand and observed Situ Ming''s changes.


    Then he continued, "You can enter the world now. With the flourishing of the fortune of heaven and earth, there are countless opportunities. Go find the opportunities that belong to you."


    "Yes, Master."


    Situ Ming immediately responded.


    He always carried out his master''s suggestions meticulously.


    Before leaving, Situ Ming seemed to think of something and asked cautiously, "Do I need to bring back those opportunities?"


    "No need."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    With a profound meaning, he said:


    "I no longer need those opportunities." (How cool!)

    ...


    Lin Yuan watched as Situ Ming left.


    He used his essence and blood to reshape Situ Ming''s body.


    There was another effect.


    That was to imprint his own mark.


    Human hearts are fickle.


    Even the most loyal may change.


    One hundred years, two hundred years can ensure loyalty.


    Three hundred years, five hundred years can also ensure loyalty.


    But what about eight hundred years or a thousand years?


    As Lin Yuan''s end approached, what would happen after he left this world?


    Could Situ Ming still maintain absolute loyalty to himself?


    Situ Ming now had transformed into a five-colored lotus, able to easily live for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.


    In the long years, everything could change.


    But by imprinting his mark with his essence and blood, Lin Yuan had eliminated other possibilities.


    Situ Ming''s soul and body were both shaped by Lin Yuan, with no capacity to conceive other thoughts.


    "Continue the cultivation."


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes and began toprehend once again.


    Time passed slowly.


    Twenty yearster.


    In these twenty years, the changes in the world surpassed those of the past two hundred or two thousand years.


    Genius experts emerged one after another, and legacies long lost in history reappeared.


    Major forces in the Five Realms experienced several reshufflings.


    Of course, because Tianjianzi, at the tenth Realm, still presided over the Tianjian Sect, its position remained unshaken, overlooking the world.


    However.


    More than ten years ago, Tianjianzi and other powerful figures from the Five Realms realized they couldn''t keep Xiahou Yuan here.


    They had no choice but to return to their respective homes and stop waiting on Tianjian Mountain.


    There was no way.


    If it were any other time, they might have been able to hold out.


    But now, with the world changing rapidly and powerful figures emerging continuously, if they, the old folks, didn''t appear, their foundations would probably be dug out by others.


    Tianjianzi had no solution to this either.


    They could only specte that Xiahou Yuan might have encountered some mishap.


    Perhaps he had realized he had already entered the tenth Realm and chose not toe back even in death.


    Underground in the pce.


    Next to a vein of fire.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his whole body emanating a scorching aura.


    After twenty years of cultivation, Lin Yuan had naturally entered a whole new level.


    Now, Lin Yuan''s strength was probably equivalent to the fourteenth Realm of this world.


    He was truly unparalleled.


    Even the concept of the fourteenth Realm was created by Lin Yuan because before this, no creature had entered this realm.


    For tens of thousands of years, the strongest in this realm was at the tenth Realm.


    Perhaps fifty thousand or a hundred thousand years ago, there had been beings surpassing the tenth Realm, but at most, they had reached the eleventh Realm.


    As for the fourteenth Realm?


    That was a joke.


    "That''s enough."


    Lin Yuan took a deep breath, and the low breath made the nearby veins tremble.


    "Whoosh."


    Lin Yuan exhaled, and the hot airflow broke through the heavy soil, traversing tens of miles and hitting a certain undergroundyer.


    With a bang, thisyer turned into powder, and the terrifying fluctuations spread in all directions, causing vibrations on the surface.


    "I''m ready."


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes, and his emanating aura quickly converged. In just a few breaths, he was no different from an ordinary person.


    "Tianjian Sect."


    Lin Yuan raised his head slightly, looking towards the direction of Tianjian Sect.


    "Let''s go and crush the Tianjian Sect."


    Lin Yuan''s mind flickered.


    A figure emanating the power of Yin, with a blurred face, emerged from his sea of consciousness.


    This figure bowed slightly to Lin Yuan, then took a step forward, easily passing through the thick soil and appearing on the surface, then disappeared without a trace.


    This figure was Lin Yuan''s Yin God, also known as the Yin Spirit.


    In fact, if it weren''t for Lin Yuan discovering the great movement of heaven and earth twenty years ago, he probably would have gone to crush Tianjian Sect eighteen years ago, after reaching the thirteenth Realm.


    But it wasn''t toote now.


    No matter how the great movement of heaven and earth surged, there were limitations, and the upper limit of this world was there. No matter how cultivated, it couldn''t produce superpowers like those in the main world.


    With Lin Yuan''s current strength at the fourteenth Realm, he was enough to crush everything, even if it was just a Yin Spirit.


    More than twenty years ago, Lin Yuan had split his Tai Chi Spirit into Yin and Yang Spirits.


    At that time, if the Yin and Yang Spirits worked together, they would have a size of ten thousand zhang.


    Now, after more than twenty years,pared to before, the Yin and Yang Spirits were at least ten times stronger.


    Tianjian Mountain.


    On this day, Tianjian Sect was lively with celebration.


    Guests came and went in endless streams.


    Because today was Tianjianzi''s eight hundredth birthday.


    As the strongest figure of the current era, and the only one at the tenth Realm, the celebration for Tianjianzi''s birthday was naturally grand. Many forces from the Five Realms and numerous powerful individuals came. Who dared not to show respect?


    Even the young generation, who were usually unruly and had various adventures, mostly came obediently.


    In front of this senior at the tenth Realm, no one dared to be presumptuous.


    On the peak of Tianjian Mountain.


    Tianjianzi sat high on the main seat.


    Looking down at the many guests below, he felt good.


    For a tenth-Realm expert, eight hundred years were just a small portion of life, and a tenth-Realm expert could live for two thousand years.


    "Congrattions to Senior Tianjianzi for his longevity as vast as the Eastern Sea."


    A middle-aged man strode over and bowed slightly to Tianjianzi.


    This middle-aged man was a ninth-Realm expert, but in front of Tianjianzi, who was already at the tenth Realm, he still showed a bit of respect.


    "Thank you."


    Tianjianzi nodded slightly in acknowledgment.


    Only when a ninth-Realm expert like him came to congratte would Tianjianzi show any reaction.


    As for those below the ninth Realm, they only signaled with their eyes.


    "In these decades, the number of ninth-Realm experts has increased several times," Tianjianzi surveyed the surroundings, silently contemting.


    As the leader of the top force in the world, Tianjianzi naturally understood the changes in the Five Realms.


    "But to give birth to a tenth-Realm expert, it will still take decades, maybe even a hundred years."


    "At that time, maybe I..."


    A hint of longing appeared in Tianjianzi''s expression.


    In another hundred or two hundred years, he might be able to cultivate to the peak of the tenth Realm.


    By then, he might even have a chance to challenge the eleventh Realm, which had only appeared fifty thousand years ago.


    Of course, it was too early to think about this now.


    Currently, Tianjianzi hadn''t even fully cultivated to the tenth Realm, let alone beyond.


    While Tianjianzi was contemting, an elder below spoke loudly, "Lord Tianjianzi''s power is unmatched. Twenty years ago, Xiahou Yuan was terrified and didn''t dare to seek revenge here."


    As soon as these words were spoken, they were met with a chorus of agreement.


    Although only twenty years had passed, with the explosive increase in ninth-Realm experts, people''s fear of Xiahou Yuan had diminished somewhat.


    After all, in this era, with the emergence of numerous outstanding young talents, most of them had reached the peak of the ninth Realm, not much weaker than Xiahou Yuan in his time.


    If Xiahou Yuan dared to appear now, he would probably be overwhelmed by the young generation of experts.


    In the current world, apart from Tianjian Sect being able to maintain its position, other forces were all on edge, afraid of being suddenly "eliminated."


    "Xiahou Yuan?"


    Tianjianzi was momentarily startled.


    If no one had mentioned this name, he would have almost forgotten about it.


    "A despicable dog, there''s no need to mention him."


    Tianjianzi shook his head slightly. Now, the young generation of experts outside was what he needed to pay attention to.


    As for Xiahou Yuan? He wasn''t even worthy of a nce from Tianjianzi.


    "Yes, yes."


    "What kind of thing is Xiahou Yuan?"


    "Does he even deserve to be mentioned at Lord Tianjianzi''s birthday celebration?"


    "I heard that someone from the younger generation outside has a close rtionship with Xiahou Yuan."


    "Even if it''s close, so what? Xiahou Yuan was defeated by Lord Tianjianzi. What waves can he still make?"


    Many guests discussed disdainfully, expressing profound contempt for Xiahou Yuan.


    At the lower end of the table,


    "Brother Xiahou."


    Bai Qing''er, dressed in a white dress, her slender wrist supporting her chin, said, "It''s been so many years, and you still haven''te to see Qing''er?"


    Several hundred miles away from Tianjian Mountain, in a dense forest.


    Situ Ming gazed at Tianjian Mountain from afar, a hint of gloominess in his expression.


    "Tianjianzi, if it weren''t for His Majesty''s unwillingness to bother with you, could you still be alive now?" Situ Ming thought to himself.


    Twenty years ago, Lin Yuan had let him enter the world.


    With the terrifying talent of the five-colored lotus, Situ Ming had broken through to the ninth Realm in just over ten years, bing one of the most dazzling figures among the younger generation.


    Of course, Situ Ming''s rapid advancement to the ninth Realm was entirely because he was already an eighth-Realm expert before bing the five-colored lotus.


    Even though his physical body and soul had to start from scratch after bing the five-colored lotus, his foundation remained, and he quickly recovered to the eighth Realm, eventually reaching the ninth Realm, which was only natural.


    "One day, if His Majesty doesn''t take action, I will also step on you, Tianjianzi." Situ Ming looked deeply at Tianjian Mountain hundreds of miles away, about to leave.


    Nowadays, he was far from being a match for Tianjianzi at the tenth Realm.


    Suddenly.


    At this moment.


    Situ Ming''s expression changed slightly.


    Looking in a certain direction.


    He saw a figure striding slowly from the distance.


    It seemed slow, but in fact, it was extremely fast. With each step, it had already crossed hundreds of meters.


    This person had ordinary features, but every movement exuded a strange charm.


    Especially the crimson eyes, which made people feel a scorching sensation.


    "Xiao Huo?"


    The moment he saw this person, Situ Ming immediately associated him with someone.


    Xiao Huo.


    Currently, one of the leading figures among the younger generation in the Five Realms, with the peak strength of the ninth Realm.


    It was said that when Xiao Huo was in his teens, he showed extraordinary talent. However, after three years, all his talent disappeared, suppressed by his family. He then left the family in anger.


    In the twenty years since then, Xiao Huo seemed to have grown rapidly, breaking through the ninth Realm and ultimately standing at the peak of the ninth Realm.


    "Situ Ming?"


    Xiao Huo''s expression was calm as he smiled at Situ Ming. "I heard that you have some connection with the great demon Xiahou Yuan from decades ago?"


    Seeing Situ Ming''s wariness, Xiao Huo shook his head slightly. "Rest assured, I have no interest in Xiahou Yuan, nor do I have any hostility towards him."


    Xiao Huo didn''t say something.


    That was, he had never regarded Xiahou Yuan as a rival.


    In Xiao Huo''s eyes, there was only one opponent from beginning to end.


    That was Tianjianzi at the tenth Realm.


    "Xiahou Yuan and Tianjianzi have a great grudge. Coincidentally, our purpose ining here this time is also to deal with Tianjianzi. In a way, you are our friend."


    Xiao Huo smiled.


    "Us?"


    Situ Ming''s gaze slightly sharpened.


    "Yes."


    Xiao Huo paused for a moment, then raised his voice, "Aren''t you two going to show yourselves?"


    As soon as he finished speaking.


    Two deep breaths quietly appeared within Situ Ming''s perception range.


    Situ Ming looked up.


    The figure on the left was a woman, her eyes fleshly, emitting terrifying mental fluctuations, almost making Situ Ming entranced.


    "Yang Bixing?"


    Situ Ming was surprised.


    Yang Bixing was also one of the leading figures among the younger generation, with the peak strength of the ninth Realm.


    Yang Bixing had a pitiful background; in her childhood, she was a beggar. However, she somehow obtained a technique called the "Soul Refining Art," which happened to be very suitable for her. Subsequently, Yang Bixing soared to great heights, reaching the peak of the ninth Realm.


    "Hahaha."


    "Since Brother Xiao said so, how could I, Shen Lang, hide?"


    A boomingughter resounded as a figure approached, with hair fluttering like a lion''s mane.


    "Shen Lang."


    Situ Ming was already prepared in his mind.


    Shen Lang, like Xiao Huo and Yang Bixing, was one of the leading figures among the younger generation, but his family background was prominent.


    However, at the age of twenty, he was ambushed by enemies at his doorstep. Forced into a desperate situation, Shen Lang had to jump off a cliff.


    However, he didn''t die but instead obtained an inheritance from someone suspected to be an eleventh-Realm expert from fifty thousand years ago.


    "You?"


    Situ Ming looked at the three individuals.


    Xiao Huo.


    Yang Bixing.


    Shen Lang.


    They were the most dazzling figures among the younger generation in the current Five Realms, capable of outshining the vast majority of the older ninth-Realm experts.


    "We are here to challenge Tianjianzi and step into the tenth Realm," Xiao Huo said with a gentle tone, but a strong fighting spirit emanated from him.


    With their strength, only the formidable tenth Realm could exert pressure on them, and by leveraging this pressure, they could further advance into the tenth Realm.


    "Situ Ming, would you like to join us?" Xiao Huo extended an invitation.


    "Xiahou Yuan was suppressed by Tianjianzi years ago, such a great humiliation, let us avenge him." Shen Lang spoke slowly, his gaze fixed on Tianjian Mountain hundreds of miles away, unwavering.


    "It is said that Tianjian Sect''s Bai Qing''er is the most beautiful woman in the world. Back then, she dazzled Xiahou Yuan, making him lose his senses. I''d like to see what kind of beauty she is." Yang Bixing gently touched her hair and said softly.


    "You..."


    Situ Ming took a deep breath.


    He realized that these three individuals had never regarded him or their emperor with any respect.


    The so-called revenge was just a casual remark; even without their emperor, the three of them would still challenge Tianjianzi.


    "I will take care of His Majesty''s revenge myself," Situ Ming said coldly.


    "Hehe."


    Just as Xiao Huo was about to speak.


    At that moment.


    Shen Lang, who was standing beside them, looking at Tianjian Mountain with an unwavering gaze, suddenly stiffened.


    His body''s aura surged uncontrobly.


    "What''s going on?"


    Xiao Huo frowned and, along with Yang Bixing, followed Shen Lang''s gaze.


    Just with a nce, they witnessed an unforgettable scene.


    In the sky above Tianjian Mountain, the vast sea of clouds rolled down slowly.


    There was a towering figure, over a hundred thousand feet tall, standing silently in front of Tianjian Mountain.


    Tianjian Mountain was a famous mountain in the central domain, tens of miles high, usually shrouded in swirling clouds, resembling a fairnd.


    However, at this moment, in front of that towering figure, even the towering Tianjian Mountain only reached up to his ankles.


    The next moment.


    Under the astonished gazes of Xiao Huo, Yang Bixing, and Shen Lang,


    The towering figure slowly lifted his right foot towards Tianjian Mountain.


    And then.


    He stepped down with one foot.


    ...

 Chapter 122

    Chapter 122


    At the peak of Tianjian Mountain, Tianjianzi sat high above, overlooking the many guests with an indifferent expression. As the protagonist of the banquet, Tianjianzi was undoubtedly the most eye-catching figure.


    "Those three youngsters should be arriving soon, right?"


    Tianjianzi''s face showed a hint of coldness. As the leader of the top power in the world, Tianjianzi was well aware that the most prominent figures of the younger generation from the five domains were itching to step on him and ascend to the divine throne.


    It wasn''t that Tianjianzi had a grudge against these three individuals. Over the decades, Tianjian Sect had never suppressed the younger generation. In fact, it couldn''t.


    It''s just that Tianjianzi had been towering over the strong of the five domains for too long, and these three young leaders wanted to break Tianjianzi''s myth and carve out their own paths under his pressure.


    "Foolish."


    "Today, I will let you know what the Tenth Rank is," Tianjianzi thought to himself. If given enough time, Tianjianzi didn''t deny that these three had the potential to reach the Tenth Rank. But now? Just the Ninth Rank, what could they use to challenge Tianjianzi?


    "This time, I must not hold back. By dealing with these three, the younger generation of the five domains will be severely weakened, and they won''t threaten Tianjian Sect for the next hundred or even hundreds of years. This way, I can also go to that ce at ease"


    Tianjianzi''s thoughts fluctuated, and his gaze faintly turned towards a direction. That was the north. North of the northern domain, north of the endless sea.


    After stepping into the Tenth Rank, Tianjianzi felt a kind of calling from the heavens and the earth, prompting him to head north.


    This calling was something that the two predecessors of Tianjian Sect who reached the Tenth Rank had also experienced. After heading north to the endless sea, those two Tenth Rank predecessors never returned.


    So, after stepping into the Tenth Rank, Tianjianzi had always suppressed this kind of calling. But in recent years, this calling had be stronger and stronger, and Tianjianzi vaguely realized that if he continued to dy, something terrifying might happen.


    "Luan Er, when will you reach the peak of the Ninth Rank?" Tianjianzi''s gaze shifted slightly, falling on ''Bai Qing''er.''


    Bai Qing''er, originally named ''Luan Er'' was said to be Tianjianzi''s childhood sweetheart, but that wasn''t the case. Luan E was just Tianjianzi''s younger sister. However, ever since the incident with Xiahou Yuan, Luan Er directly took ''Bai Qing''er'' as her real name.


    "Soon" Luan Ee said indifferently.


    "When you reach the peak of the Ninth Rank, I will do everything to help you step into the Tenth Rank," Tianjianzi said.


    "When will the Sect Master go out and bring Xiahou Yuan back to me?" Luan Er suddenly said.


    "Xiahou Yuan?" Tianjianzi frowned. He had long stopped caring about Xiahou Yuan. However, seeing Luan Er like this, it was obvious that she had a heart demon left behind by that incident.


    "Forget it," Tianjianzi sighed inwardly. Even if he was at the Tenth Rank, if Xiahou Yuan was hiding somewhere, there was nothing he could do.


    However, after decades of cultivation, Tianjianzi had delved quite deeply into the Tenth Rank and evenprehended several secret techniques left by the predecessors of the Tenth Rank. If he paid a certain price, it was still possible to locate Xiahou Yuan''s position.


    "After the banquet, I will bring Xiahou Yuan back. But Luan Er, you have to promise me something," Tianjianzi said in a t tone, as if bringing back the legendary demon Xiahou Yuan, who had once dominated the five domains, was as easy as picking up a cat or a dog by the roadside.


    "Thank you, Sect Master," Bai Qing''er said with joy immediately. By now, she had already begun to brew up scenes of Xiahou Yuan falling into her hands.


    Suddenly, at this moment, countless strong individuals gathered at the top of Tianjian Mountain, and they suddenly realized that the sky and the earth seemed to darken. The sunny and misty peak of Tianjian Mountain suddenly became gloomy.


    "What''s that?" Some strong individuals looked up at the sky and saw a huge shadow resembling a continent suddenly descending towards Tianjian Mountain.


    "Not good."


    "Run."


    "What is this thing?" Although many strong individuals didn''t know why this "continent" shadow appeared here, they realized that staying here would definitely not lead to anything good.


    So they all madly fled in all directions. As long as they could escape the coverage of the "continent" shadow, they should be safe.


    Unfortunately, it was toote. The "continent" shadow was descending too quickly, and the boundless Yin energy permeated, turning into terrifying pressure, restricting the speed of all the strong individuals.


    Boom! Tianjianzi soared into the sky. The aura of a Tenth Rank powerhouse erupted wildly, shaking the heavens and the earth.


    Others could run, but Tianjianzi couldn''t because beneath his feet was Tianjian Mountain, the core of Tianjian Sect. If he fled and something happened to Tianjian Mountain, wouldn''t he be the culprit of Tianjian Sect''s sins for tens of thousands of years?


    Most importantly, Tianjianzi faintly felt that even if he wanted to run, he couldn''t. His body was filled with invisible Yin energy, and even though Tianjianzi was a Tenth Rank powerhouse, his speed was greatly reduced. There was simply no hope of escaping before the "continent" shadow descended.


    "Stop!" Tianjianzi''s eyes turned bloodshot, his aura surged again, like a deity trying to stop the descending "continent" shadow.


    However...


    Boom! Tianjianzi''s entire body suddenly exploded. The "continent" shadow didn''t stop at all and continued to descend towards Tianjian Mountain.


    With the continuous descent of the "continent" shadow, Tianjian Mountain began to copse. Strong individuals exploded rapidly, their flesh and souls continuously turning into fragments and falling down.


    During this time, some strong individuals realized that they couldn''t escape and chose to stand and resist. However, it was futile.


    They all exploded one after another. Just a few breathster, Tianjian Mountain, which stood tall, was ttened, leaving behind a huge pit several tens of miles deep.


    If one were to look from thousands of miles away, they would see that this pit resembled a footprint, but it had been magnified billions of times.


    Hum! Countless auras of souls turned into flowing light and rushed in all directions. The rich blood qi spread out. Just now, that kick shattered the flesh of countless strong individuals.


    However, their souls were still intact, and although many of them were severely damaged, they hadn''tpletely shattered. Now, seizing the opportunity, they fled like crazy.


    At this moment, above the distant sea of thousands of miles away, another huge "shadow" descended. If one looked closely, they would find that this huge "shadow" resembled a human face, with blurred features that couldn''t be made out.


    The face opened its huge mouth and deeply sucked in the direction of the huge footprint.


    Boom! Before the terrifying suction force, souls and shattered blood qi all turned into long dragons and rushed into the huge mouth of the face.


    Hundreds of miles away, in a dense forest, Xiao Huo, Shen Lang, Yang Bixing, and other three highly anticipated leaders of the young generation were pale and stiff.


    The towering Tianjian Mountain was directly ttened under the foot of that majestic figure, and countless strong individuals on the mountain, including Tianjianzi, the Tenth Rank powerhouse, had their flesh and souls shattered and were swallowed by the majestic figure.


    This... this... Xiao Huo and the others'' minds were in a mess. Especially Shen Lang, who had obtained the inheritance of a certain Eleventh Rank powerhouse from fifty thousand years ago.


    However, even fifty thousand years ago, a hundred thousand years ago, or even more ancient times, such a shocking scene had never appeared, right?


    "This is... soul," Xiao Huo touched the ring on his right hand, barely suppressing the shock in his heart, and said in a low voice.


    "Soul?"


    "That majestic figure is a soul?" Shen Lang and Yang Bixing took another deep breath. Even though the souls of the Ninth Rank pinnacle powerhouses were powerful, they were at most a hundred feet long.


    The souls of Tenth Rank powerhouses might possibly reach several hundred feet. However, just now, that majestic figure was at least a hundred thousand feet long.


    If the soul was so huge, how strong was its owner?


    Twelfth Rank?


    Thirteenth Rank?


    Xiao Huo and the others dared not believe it. Even though they had countless adventures and perhaps thought they could reach the Tenth Rank, Shen Lang had the inheritance of an Eleventh Rank powerhouse, they never dared to think about going higher.


    Because this hadpletely surpassed reality.


    "This... this is the Lord. This is the Lord''s Yin soul,"pared to Xiao Huo and the others'' shock and horror, Situ Ming was stunned for a moment, then his tone became excited.


    When he was still the Five-Colored Lotus, he had spent a long time with Lin Yuan and was quite familiar with his aura.


    Although the majestic figure now was toppling the sky and covering the earth, and its power was overwhelming, the aura faintly emanating from its body was simr to the aura Situ Ming had felt from the Lord.


    "The Lord?"


    "Are you saying that this soul is the Demon Emperor Xiahou Yuan''s?" Xiao Huo and the others looked at each other, how could they have imagined that Xiahou Yuan, who had long withdrawn from the stage of the five domains, had already cultivated to such a level? Just a soul could tten Tianjian Mountain.


    The ttening here was not symbolic, such as sweeping away many strong individuals of Tianjian Sect and trampling Tianjianzi.


    It was a physical ttening.


    The entire Tianjian Mountain was leveled.


    "Xiahou Yuan."


    Xiao Huo and the others thought carefully.


    Xiahou Yuan, who had such deep enmity with Tianjian Sect and was willing to directly tten the mountain gate of Tianjian Sect, was definitely counted among them.


    Moreover, Xiao Huo and the others didn''t think that Situ Ming had the guts to impersonate such a powerful figure as their Lord.


    If it were to spread to his ears, the entire demonic path would be ttened like Tianjian Mountain.


    Just as Xiao Huo and the others were talking softly.


    Hundreds of miles away, the majestic figure, which was more than a hundred thousand feet tall, turned its head slightly and looked toward the dense forest from afar.


    Boom!


    Just a single nce made Xiao Huo and the others feel an unprecedented pressure, as if the heavens and earth were copsing, and all things were being destroyed.


    "No..."


    Instinctively, Xiao Huo, Shen Lang, and Yang Bixing knelt on the ground, unable to continue looking directly at the majestic figure.


    Although they were hundreds of miles apart, Xiao Huo and the others were well aware that hundreds of miles were just a "few steps" for that majestic figure.


    "Interesting."


    It seemed that the Yin soul had discovered something, as the figure suddenly dispersed and turned into countless strands of Yin energy, disappearing on the spot.


    Only after the Yin soul had left for nearly half an hour did Xiao Huo, Shen Lang, Yang Bixing, and the others dare to raise their heads.


    Confirming the disappearance of the majestic figure, the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    "What... what should we do now?" Yang Bixing, with a gentle demeanor, asked softly after a long while.


    As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Huo, Shen Lang, and Yang Bixing fell into silence.


    ording to their original n, they were supposed to challenge strong individuals everywhere to pave their own path to the Tenth Rank.


    Tianjianzi, as the strongest in the Five Domains, was naturally their target. But now that Tianjianzi was dead, the challenge was naturally impossible.


    Although Tianjianzi was dead, there was now a figure far surpassing Tianjianzi.


    That was the "Demon Emperor Xiahou Yuan" mentioned by Situ Ming.


    And challenging the Demon EmperorXiahou Yuan?


    Challenging my ass.


    Forget about the original body of the Demon EmperorXiahou Yuan, even if it was just a strand of his soul, or more urately, just a gaze of his soul.


    Xiao Huo and the others felt that the copse of the heavens and the earth and the inability to withstand it.


    Still want to challenge?


    Xiao Huo and the others were indeed ambitious, but they were not fools. They knew it was death to hope to move forward even knowing it was death.


    They dared to challenge Tianjianzi before because they had confidence in their ability to save their lives. Even if they failed, they could still retreat safely.


    But facing the Demon Emperor Xiahou Yuan...


    Xiao Huo, Shen Lang, and Yang Bixing nced at each other.


    Suddenly, they felt bored. Originally, they were full of confidence in cultivation and believed that with their efforts, they could surpass anyone.


    Just seeing the majestic figure that toppled just now, their state of mind began to copse. What''s the use of cultivation? Isn''t it just a matter of that majestic figure''s foot?


    Even without a foot.


    Just a nce, or a hint of killing intent?


    Under the pce.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    Hum!


    Strands of Yin energy converged.


    The Yin soul appeared in front of Lin Yuan.


    "Is it done?" Lin Yuan asked casually.


    Actually, as the original body, he shared the "perspective" with the Yin and Yang gods.


    To be precise, one consciousness was divided into three, and Lin Yuan could see everything that the Yin soul did clearly if he looked back.


    The question just now, "Is it done?" was just a casual one.


    "A Yin god of one hundred thousand feet."


    Lin Yuan''s gaze was leisurely.


    Regardless of which world it was ced in, one hundred thousand feet was already a huge creature.


    If converted into other units, ording to one foot equaling three point three meters, one hundred thousand feet would be three hundred and thirty thousand meters.


    That''s six hundred miles.


    Even in the main world, such a huge body could be counted as a fifth-order life form, one of the strongest life forms on the surface.


    Of course, the soul was different from the flesh. The soul had no flesh and blood restrictions. As long as the realm was reached, it could almost infinitely skyrocket.

 Chapter 123

    Chapter 123


    "Those three sons of fortune."


    Lin Yuan''s face fell into brief contemtion.


    What are the sons of fortune? Those favored by heaven and earth, encountering opportunities even when drinking water. Summarized, it means exceptionally good luck, often turning adversity into fortune and continuously growing stronger.


    And today, Lin Yuan finally witnessed these points.


    Normally, Xiao Huo, Yang Bixing, and Shen Lang would head to Tianjian Mountain to challenge Tianjianzi, paving their own paths to the tenth stage.


    If everything went smoothly, when the three reached the summit of Tianjian Mountain, Lin Yuan''s Yin avatar would descend, effortlessly conquering Tianjian Mountain.


    With the power of the Yin avatar, no matter what means those three sons of fortune employed, their deaths were inevitable.


    However, for some reason in this situation, those three sons of fortune unexpectedly paused midway, conversing with St Ming for a few moments, even inviting him to join them.


    By dying for just this amount of time, those three sons of fortune avoided a catastrophic disaster.


    One could only say that the luck of these three sons of fortune was excessively good. Compared to them, St Ming, although also a member of the younger generation, was far inferior.


    Usually, even if Xiao Huo and the others encountered St Ming, they wouldn''t stop to converse, let alone have such a lengthy conversation as today.


    "Is it truly luck?"


    "Or is it some kind of hint?"


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    In fact, with Lin Yuan''s strength, if he truly harbored intentions to kill those three sons of fortune, regardless of what heaven and earth favored or how lucky they were, it would be meaningless.


    Those three would still die.


    There was no room for luck.


    In the face of absolute strength, only equal strength could contend.


    As for the rest? It was all futile.


    However...


    Lin Yuanprehended the heavens and earth.


    Faintly, he felt that even if he killed those three sons of fortune, it would be meaningless.


    As long as this world persisted, after several years or decades, the fourth, fifth, and sixth sons of fortune would still emerge.


    So, when his Yin avatar nced at those three sons of fortune just now, he remarked, "Interesting."


    "Pitiful."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    The sons of fortune were favored by heaven and earth.


    They could be fortunate or unfortunate.


    The next line after ''when the timees, heaven and earth are equally forceful'' is ''when fortune leaves, heroes are no longer free.''


    What does it mean to not be free? The sons of fortune could be seen as children of this world.


    Or perhaps incarnations of its vessel.


    Their limit is the limit of the world.


    And they could never escape the constraints of the world.


    Of course, there was also the possibility of the sons of fortune ultimately oveing the consciousness of the world and turning defeat into victory.


    But the likelihood was too low.


    Everything about you, all your methods are bestowed by heaven and earth, by the world.


    What could you use to ovee it?


    "Speaking of which, in recent decades, the great fortunes of heaven and earth have flourished, giving birth to three sons of fortune in session, also influenced by me."


    As Lin Yuan''s thoughts churned, he suddenly realized.


    Over these years, Lin Yuan''s strength had continuously grown, breaking through past constraints time and again.


    Perhaps others were unaware, like St Ming, Nuan Shu, and Moyang Demon Lord, who at most only realized that Lin Yuan was very powerful.


    But just how strong he was, they had no concept.


    Or rather, they couldn''t even imagine.


    However...


    This world, this corner of heaven and earth.


    Could sense Lin Yuan''s changes in strength.


    An individual too powerful brought a sense of crisis to the world.


    Which then caused fluctuations in great fortunes, leading to the emergence of sons of fortune.


    In a sense.


    The birth of these sons of fortune was to subdue demons.


    To subdue Lin Yuan, this astonishing demon.


    However.


    The birth of the sons of fortune also required time.


    Even with thebined efforts of an entire world, nurturing three sons of fortune to the peak of the ninth stage within just over twenty years was unimaginable.


    But Lin Yuan''s growth rate was even faster, so fast that the sons of fortune couldn''t hope to match it.


    This led to a rather awkward situation.


    When faced with Lin Yuan, the sons of fortune''s mental states copsed directly. Not to mention subduing demons, they didn''t even dare to entertain such thoughts.


    "Phew."


    Just as Lin Yuan was contemting, his Yin avatar before him slightly opened its mouth.


    Spewing out two strands of divine power.


    Once these two strands of divine power emerged, they continuously condensed, transforming into two figures the size of thumbs.


    They were precisely Tianjianzi and ''Bai Qing''er.''


    For other strong individuals, Lin Yuan''s Yin avatar would swallow their blood and divine power without hesitation, nourishing itself directly.


    But these two held a ''special'' ce in Xiahou Yuan''s heart.


    Of course, it wasn''t a good ce.


    "Swallow them too."


    Lin Yuan looked down at the two tiny figures of Tianjianzi and Bai Qing''er.


    Feeling somewhat tasteless for a moment.


    Without waiting for the two to awaken.


    And without waiting to see their shocked and terrified expression upon awakening.


    He directly summoned his Yang avatar and swallowed these two divine souls.


    Devouring the blood and divine powers of sentient beings easily contaminates one''s own soul purity, but asionally swallowing a few times is no problem.


    At Lin Yuan''s current level, unless he devoured billions or even trillions of sentient beings in a short period, there would be no hidden dangers.


    After settling the grievances of the ''original owner''.


    Lin Yuan began to ponder the next matter.


    That would be ''spreading the doctrine''.


    As his status in the main world continued to rise.


    Lin Yuan noticed one thing, that is, those super strong beings in the main world.


    They would spread themselves, or evolution pathways rted to themselves.


    For example, the primordial ''ancient gods'' deep in the cosmic starry sky, with their abilities, would not have ''ancient god'' evolution pathways if they didn''t want to.


    In fact, the ancient gods are eager for the evolution pathways rted to themselves to be spread among humans.


    It''s just that they are suppressed by the human alliance.


    Not only the ancient gods, but also the high-level strong beings of the human alliance.


    They are intentionally or unintentionally spreading their own evolution pathways.


    The vast number of evolution pathways recorded by the Cosmic Human Alliance cannot be achieved solely by mandatory uploads of evolutionists.


    Evolutionists must also be willing.


    Lin Yuan once asked his eldest senior brother.


    That is, the strongest disciple of the Red Kun Star Lord.


    The strongest among the thirteen disciples.


    The eldest senior brother told Lin Yuan that spreading one''s own evolution pathway is rted to the ultimate breakthrough.


    Of course, the ultimate breakthrough is too far for the eldest senior brother.


    Even the Red Kun Star Lord is far from reaching that level.


    To truly reach that step, one must create apletely suitable evolution pathway for oneself, then there is hope.


    Currently, whether it''s the eldest senior brother, the second senior brother, or the third senior brother, they are all following the evolution pathways of their predecessors.


    Since most of the super strong beings in the main world are spreading their own evolution pathways.


    Then it''s certain that this path is not wrong.


    In the main world, in the human alliance, thousands of evolution pathways emerge.


    The martial arts evolution pathway established by Lin Yuan needs to undergo fiercepetition to gain some evolvers.


    However, in this world.


    Spreading his own evolution pathway is naturally not difficult for Lin Yuan.


    After all, with invincible strength, why fear others not practicing?


    However.


    Spreading an evolution pathway is a very time-consuming matter.


    Lin Yuan possesses Unrivaled Insight, under the high-rise building.


    He can reach the peak in just a few decades.


    But what about others?


    They may need several generations, or even dozens of generations, to achieve something.


    To prevent the martial arts evolution pathway from disappearing for inexplicable reasons during its spread.


    Lin Yuan must cultivate a ''Guardian of the Way''.


    To ensure that martial arts continue to flourish after he leaves this realm.


    The lifespan of this ''Guardian of the Way'' must be exceptionally long. If it is passed down from generation to generation, problems are likely to arise.


    And most importantly, this ''Guardian of the Way'' must be absolutely loyal to Lin Yuan. Regardless of the passing of thousands or tens of thousands of years, they must still be able to perfectly execute Lin Yuan''smands.


    The ''Guardian of the Way'' selected by Lin Yuan is Situ Ming.


    Situ Ming''s original body is the Five-Colored Lotus, with a long lifespan, easily living for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.


    Coupled with his divine power and physical body, both originating from Lin Yuan, he is absolutely loyal. Even when Lin Yuan''s lifespanes to an end, he can rece Lin Yuan and ensure that the martial arts can continue to spread for a long time.


    When Lin Yuan saved Situ Ming, he spared no effort to spend a five-colored lotus, as well as a lot of time and energy, and finally a drop of blood.


    It was all for this day.


    Several monthster.


    Situ Ming returned to the underground pce.


    "My Lord."


    Situ Ming knelt before Lin Yuan with unparalleled fervor.


    Nuan Shu, Moyang Demon Lord, and others beside him also showed utmost respect.


    Tianjian Mountain had been ttened by a certain existence long ago, and this matter had long since spread across the Five Realms at a hurricane-like speed.


    After all, there were many mortals living around Tianjian Mountain, and even practitioners of the Fourth and Fifth Stages.


    Under the step of Lin Yuan''s Yin avatar, all the powerhouses on Tianjian Mountain perished.


    But outside Tianjian Mountain, many people witnessed this scene.


    All sorts of rumors spread for a while.


    Such as Tianjian Sect offending the heavens, so they received punishment, and the like.


    However.


    While outsiders were specting.


    There were also all sorts of spections in the demonic path.


    But all the spections disappeared as soon as Situ Ming returned.


    Because Situ Ming told them that it was the handiwork of the respected Lord.


    "From today onwards, all practitioners of the demonic path will also cultivate this cultivation method."


    "In addition, use all means to spread this cultivation method across the Five Realms."


    Lin Yuan said indifferently.


    In front of him, there was a pile of booklets.


    Recording the martial arts evolution pathways sorted out in recent times.


    In order to integrate the martial arts evolution pathways into this world as much as possible.


    Under the premise of maintaining its core unchanged, Lin Yuan made some major modifications to it.


    "Yes."


    Nuan Shu and Moyang Demon Lord immediately agreed.


    "North."


    Sending away everyone, Lin Yuan still sat cross-legged beside the Spring of Qi.


    At Lin Yuan''s current realm, he had faintly felt that there was a ''ck hole'' in the extreme north, which was even farther north than the Northern Domain, beyond the boundless sea.


    There seemed to be a ''ck hole'' hidden there, which was devouring the vitality of heaven and earth at all times.


    As a result, the vitality of the entire heaven and earth was gradually decreasing at a slow pace.


    Fifty thousand years ago, a hundred thousand years ago, there were eleventh-stage powerhouses born in the Five Realms.


    But from ten thousand years ago to fifty thousand years ago, eleven-stage powerhouses had be legends, and even ten-stage powerhouses were extremely rare.


    As for now, in the past ten thousand years, the only confirmed ten-stage powerhouse is Tianjianzi.


    Under the flourishing period of heaven and earth, those sons of fortune might enter the tenth stage, but it''s only a temporary measure.


    The so-called flourishing period is just consuming the potential of the next few thousand or tens of thousands of years.


    After those sons of fortune die of old age, this heaven and earth might not even produce a ninth-stage powerhouse.


    And the culprit behind all this.


    The culprit behind all this was the enormous ''ck hole'' that Lin Yuan faintly sensed.


    Located to the north of the boundless sea.


    Eastern Domain.


    In a purple bamboo forest.


    Xiao Huo, Yang Bixing, and Shen Lang, three sons of fortune, were staying here.


    "However strong Xiahou Yuan is, we should not be affected. Strength is their own business, and we still need to continue cultivating," Yang Bixing said softly, but she was the fastest to recover among the three.


    "That''s right."


    "A gentleman keeps striving for self-improvement," Shen Lang quickly rallied.


    "Ashamed," Xiao Huo''s eyes were red, but he had also recovered at this moment.


    The three of them smiled at each other.


    Just as they were about to continue chatting.


    Deep in the purple bamboo forest.


    There was a sudden rumbling.


    Xiao Huo and the other two immediately got up and approached.


    They vaguely felt that the rumbling was not simple.


    Soon.


    The three came to a huge opening.


    The opening was pitch ck, but inside, there was a huge fluctuation of vitality, as if it connected to another world.


    "What is this?"


    Xiao Huo frowned.


    "This is the entrance to the underground world that hasn''t appeared in tens of thousands of years."


    Shen Lang pondered for a moment, his expression excited.


    Under Shen Lang''s exnation.


    Xiao Huo and Yang Bixing gained some understanding of the underground world.


    The so-called underground world is the underground world of the Five Realms, which is vast and boundless. Most importantly, it retains the vitality concentration from tens of thousands of years ago, even a hundred thousand years ago.


    For a hundred thousand years, the entrance to the underground world has appeared several times.


    Every time a practitioner enters, theye out greatly improved in strength, making it the top opportunity in the world.


    "Hahaha."


    "Even the heavens are helping us."


    Xiao Huo and the other two nced at each other and entered without hesitation.


    When the three of thempletely entered the entrance of the ck hole.


    The ground shook again, and pieces of rubble fell.


    Completely hiding the entrance here.


    Time passed slowly.


    After Tianjian Mountain was ttened by a certain existence.


    The truth gradually spread. Demon Emperor Xiahou Yuan hadpleted his demonic arts and sent out his divine power, transforming into a hundred-thousand-foot giant, ttening Tianjian Mountain.


    When this matter first came out, most people didn''t believe it because it was too unbelievable. A hundred-thousand-foot divine power, how powerful would that be?


    But as time passed, the demonic path was still fine, and more and more people believed it.


    After all, if this were false, Xiahou Yuan should have quicklye out to refute it. Otherwise, wouldn''t they fear that the next one to be ttened would be the demonic path?


    But Xiahou Yuan did not deny it, and no demonic head came out to exin, so it was tacitly epted.


    In this situation, Xiahou Yuan still lived well, so the news was likely true.


    For a while, Xiahou Yuan was regarded as the strongest person in the Five Realms by many powerful beings.


    More urately, he was the strongest person in a hundred thousand years or even a million years.


    A hundred-thousand-foot divine soul was simply terrifying.


    And it was at this time that a cultivation system called Martial Dao began to spread rapidly across the Five Realms.


    Those ordinary people without cultivation qualifications began to try this cultivation system.


    Even those practitioners of the Third Realm or Fourth Realm, after discovering the potential of the Martial Dao cultivation system, decisively abandoned their own cultivation and switched to Martial Dao.


    And so.


    A hundred years passed in a hurry.

    ...


    Over the course of a hundred years, the world underwent immense changes.


    To ordinary people, this might span a lifetime. Even for cultivators, below the sixth realm, a hundred years could amount to nearly half a lifetime. Especially during this century, the scale of transformation far surpassed that of the previous millennia.


    First and foremost was the ttening of Tianjian Mountain, an impact far from one-time, but enduring and profound.


    What was Tianjian Mountain? It was the main gate of Tianjian Sect, the stronghold of the foremost power in the world.


    For tens of thousands of years, Tianjian Sect had birthed more than one tenth-realm cultivator, solidifying its influence across the Five Domains.


    Such a massive force, even if to decline, would do so slowly, taking thousands or tens of thousands of years topletely fall. Yet now, it was trampled underfoot in one fell swoop.


    What was more critical was that those who died weren''t just disciples of Tianjian Sect. Before Tianjian Mountain was ttened, it coincided with Tianjianzi''s 800th birthday celebration.


    At that time, Tianjian Mountain gathered all the powerful forces allied with Tianjian Sect. However, the result was that these powerful individuals perished along with Tianjian Mountain.


    This led to catastrophic losses for most powers across the Five Domains. Facing assaults from the demonic forces afterward, the local powers of the Five Domains were utterly routed.


    In the first ten years of this century, the demonic forces aplished the feat of unifying the Five Domains.


    It''s worth noting that even during the heyday of Tianjian Sect, many powers in the Five Domains were subdued, but it was never truly unified. Yet now, this was achieved by the demonic forces.


    To be precise, the reason why the demonic forces were able to achieve this was entirely due to Lin Yuan.


    If Lin Yuan hadn''t destroyed the main arteries of the righteous forces across the Five Domains, even if the demonic forces wanted to unify them, it would have been a protracted struggle, far exceeding ten years.


    Of course, the so-called unification of the Five Domains by the demonic forces was only a superficial one. In the dark, there were still many remnants of the original powers of the Five Domains attempting tounch a counterattack and reim what was once theirs.


    But with Lin Yuan around, all resistance was futile. Lin Yuan didn''t even need to leave his pce; simply dispatching his Yin and Yang avatars would inflict heavy losses on the resisting forces.


    Even so, such resistance continued to ur. It''s just that the intervals between each one gradually lengthened, indicating that the resistance forces also knew that they were no match for the demonic emperor Xiahou Yuan.


    In the Eastern Domain, in a coastal city, inside an inn, a storyteller was enthusiastically narrating.


    "The other day, a group of strong individuals arrived in the coastal area, suspected to be disciples of the Qingshui Sect from a hundred years ago.


    This Qingshui Sect was eradicated by the demonic forces back then, and now that its remaining disciples have resurfaced, it''s definitely not a good sign."


    This storyteller seemed quite well-informed, even offering some personal insights.


    "As I see it, things in the Eastern Domain are about to get turbulent again."


    The storyteller''s words were tinged with a sense ofmentation. For ordinary folks like them, turmoil in the world was certainly not a good thing.


    In a corner of the inn, an elderly man with white facial hair took a sip of wine, a look of contentment on his face.


    If a ninth-realm expert were present, they would notice that this elderly man had an unfathomable aura, clearly also a ninth-realmexpert.


    However, unlike other ninth-realmexperts, he didn''t vie for power or wealth; he simply enjoyed traveling the Five Domains and appreciating fine wine.


    "The osmanthus wine in this coastal city is bing more and more vorful."


    The old man nodded in approval.


    "Oh, Grandpa, please don''t drink too much."


    "Did you hear what the storyteller just said?"


    "The Eastern Domain is starting to be unstable."


    A young girl in her teens tugged at the old man''s sleeve.


    "Oh."


    The old man replied nonchntly, then continued to savor the osmanthus wine.


    "Grandpa."


    The girl became somewhat anxious, unable to hold back her question. "Do you think the Five ns will take action?"


    "Why are you, a young girl, worrying about such matters?"


    The old man gave the girl a stern look, but seeing tears welling up in her eyes, he quickly consoled her.


    "I don''t know if the Eastern Domain will be unstable, but some time ago, someone from the former Di Fire Sect came to me, asking me to intervene and upy a source of earth-grade vitality."


    "Ah?"


    "Did you agree, Grandpa?"


    The girl''s eyes immediately lit up again.


    "Of course not."


    "An old man like me should enjoy his twilight years."


    The old man shook his head and said.


    He didn''t have the courage to oppose the demonic emperor. Who was the demonic emperor? He was the strongest in a hundred thousand or a million years.


    Ordinary cultivators might not understand the concept of cultivating one''s soul to a hundred thousand feet, but as a ninth-realmexpert, the old man understood the difficulty and almost inconceivable shock of it.


    "Besides,"


    "The Five Domains under the rule of the demonic forces are no different from before."


    The old man nced at his granddaughter, his face showing a hint of amusement.


    More than ny years ago, when the demonic forces unified the Five Domains, the old man saw it all. Originally, he thought that the suffering of sentient beings was about to begin.


    After all, with the demonic forces ruling the world, how good could things be in the Five Domains? All living beings would be herded together and be resources for the demonic cultivators, right?


    However, as time passed, the old man suddenly realized that such a scene had never urred at all.


    After unifying the Five Domains, the demonic forces voluntarily spread a cultivation system called the Way of Martial Arts.


    This cultivation system had a low threshold, and the demonic forces even sent people to exin it. Such a good thing had never happened in tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years.


    Previously, the major powers of the Five Domains would never have shared their techniques for the sake of maintaining their own positions, let alone send people to guide others.


    This is simply...


    The old man couldn''t describe this move.


    He just felt that the thoughts of that demonic emperor surpassed those of ordinary people.


    "Grandpa, I want to go to the Central Domain and visit the sacrednd of the demonic path," the girl whispered.


    The sacrednd of the demonic path was where Lin Yuan cultivated.


    Over the past century, this sacrednd had be a holy ce for the Five Domains, with countless cultivators visiting to pay their respects. Of course, to avoid disturbing the demonic emperor, all cultivators could only observe from fifty miles away.


    "The sacrednd of the demonic path?"


    The old man hesitated.


    But just thinking about how he had never done anything antagonistic towards the demonic emperor in all these years, his expression immediately became calm.


    "Alright."


    The old man nodded, agreeing to the girl''s request.


    In the depths of the pce, beside the spring of vitality.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his aurapletely restrained. He sat there as if standing in another dimension, seemingly illusory.


    [Name: Xiahou Yuan (Lin Yuan)]


    [Identity: Guardian of the Gate of the Myriad Realms]


    [Bound Talent: Unrivaled Insight]


    [Current Status: Consciousness Descended]


    [Remaining Residency Time: One hundred and forty years]


    "There''s still one hundred and forty years of residency time left."


    Lin Yuan nced at the virtual text below his gaze, silently pondering.


    Unknowingly, it had been one hundred and sixty years since he arrived in this world. Half of his three-hundred-year residency limit had quietly passed.


    "Sixteenth realm."


    Lin Yuan examined himself.


    In the past hundred years, he had broken through two realm, from the fourteenth to the sixteenth.


    However, upon entering the sixteenth realm, Lin Yuan faintly felt that this realm seemed to be the limit of this world. Beyond this, there might be a possibility of triggering the world''s innate rejection.


    Like being directly banished beyond the world?


    "No."


    "The limit of the world should not be just the sixteenth realm."


    "Is it because of that ''ck hole'' in the north?"


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts surged, and his gaze once again turned towards the north. Over a hundred years ago, Lin Yuan had noticed a giant ck hole at the extreme north, beyond the endless northern seas.


    This ck hole devoured the vitality of this world''s heaven and earth every moment, causing the upper limit of this world''s strength to decrease continuously.


    Five thousand years ago, even a hundred thousand years ago, there were still traces of eleventh-realm experts. However, in recent tens of thousands of years, there were barely any tenth-realm experts left. Perhaps in tens of thousands of years, ninth-realmexperts would be legends.


    It was because of that ''ck hole'' that the upper limit of this world had decreased, and it was almost unable to amodate Lin Yuan anymore.


    "For tens of thousands of years, whenever a tenth-realmexpert was born, they would disappear from the Five Domains within tens or hundreds of years, probably heading towards that ''ck hole'' in the north."


    Lin Yuan''s expression was pensive.


    After the demonic forces unified the Five Domains, he was able to browse through a vast number of books and learned about the final whereabouts of those tenth-realmexperts over tens of thousands of years.


    Just as Lin Yuan was contemting that ''ck hole''...


    As if sensing something, he made a surprised sound and turned his gaze towards the east.


    Under Lin Yuan''s perception, thirty miles away from the pce, two figures were stealthily approaching. One was an elderly man with ninth-realm strength, and the other was a teenager in her early teens, who was curiously looking towards the pce.


    Lin Yuan''s gaze fell on the girl.


    "The Bai family still has descendants."


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes, feeling emotional.


    The Bai family had a great connection with Xiahou Yuan. Before Xiahou Yuan became proficient in demonic techniques, he fell in love with the legitimate daughter of the Bai family.


    Later, due to Xiahou Yuan making too many enemies, the Bai family was implicated and wiped out from top to bottom.


    The Bai family had a special significance to Xiahou Yuan.


    Back then, when Luan Er of the Tianjian Sect went by the name Bai Qing''er and approached Xiahou Yuan, she was able to gain Xiahou Yuan''s trust because of her disguised identity as a descendant of the Bai family.


    Otherwise, how could someone as ruthless and unfeeling as Xiahou Yuan invest so much emotion in a woman? In the end, due to being forced by his mentality, he was suppressed at the bottom of the Great Abyss.


    However, now...


    Lin Yuan once again sensed the aura of the Bai family from the girl.


    This kind of aura was not like Bai Qing''er''s disguise, but a familiar feeling that truly came from the depths of her bloodline.


    Thirty miles away from the pce.


    The old man was somewhat nervous. They were already close to the pce, much deeper than the fifty miles they marked out.


    "Xiaobai, are you sure it''s safe to get this close?" the old man asked again.


    Originally, he had brought the girl here to visit, just like other cultivators, staying fifty miles away from the pce and slowly touring.


    But as the girl toured, she led the old man along a small path, entering within fifty miles of the pce until now, where they were only thirty miles away.


    This made the old man break out in a cold sweat. Just thinking about how thirty miles away was the demonic emperor Xiahou Yuan, who had ttened Tianjian Sect with a single step, made the old man''s legs feel weak.


    "Grandpa, what are you afraid of? I specifically heard about this path. Many people have walked it before, just to get closer to the sacrednd for better observation."


    The girl led the way in front, her tone unusually excited.


    "Are you sure?" The old man was beginning to regret bringing the girl here. Although she wasn''t his own granddaughter, he had picked her up from the wild. However, the old man couldn''t fake his feelings for the girl and had always treated her as his own granddaughter.


    "Absolutely sure! Before us, many people have walked this path to visit, and nothing happened."


    The girl reassured him.


    "I hope so."


    The old man breathed a sigh of relief. The fact that many people had walked this path made him feel better. Even ordinary people could approach without any problems, so they shouldn''t encounter any issues either.


    The girl had been walking along this path for so long without encountering anyone. Now, she met a tall man and immediately stepped forward to chat, "Are you also here to observe the sacrednd?"


    "Observe the sacrednd?"


    The tall man turned his head, nced at the girl, and didn''t answer.


    "Don''t be shy. Besides observing the sacrednd, who else woulde here?"


    The girl thought the tall man was just shy and approached, saying, "Since we''ve met, you can follow us. My grandpa is amazing, he''s a great expert in the Five Domains."


    The girl extended an invitation.


    The tall man remained indifferent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.


    This made the girl somewhat frustrated. What''s wrong with this person? He''s like a mute. Did he even understand what she said?


    "Let me tell you, my grandpa is a ninth-realmexpert. Do you know what that means?"


    The girl began to pour her heart out, revealing family secrets, "On the vastnd of the Five Domains, there are fewer than a hundred ninth-realmexperts, and my grandpa is one of them. You can follow us, and you don''t have to worry about safety."


    "Did your grandpa pick you up?"


    Finally, the tall man spoke, his voice deep and maic.


    He did not detect the aura of the Bai family from the old man.


    "Huh?"


    "How did you know?"


    The girl widened her eyes, sure she hadn''t mentioned this to the tall man.


    "Are you..."


    The girl''s eyes lit up, "Are you a fortune-teller? Did you realize right away that I''m not my grandpa''s real granddaughter?"


    "Xiaobai," the old man sensed something, his voice trembling, unable to even look directly at the tall man.


    However, his voice was so weak at this moment that the girl didn''t notice.


    "I didn''t expect you to have some skills. I always thought fortune-tellers were just deceivers."


    The girl became interested. The tall man was able to see that she and the old man had no blood rtion, obviously not ordinary.


    "Come here."


    "You help me calcte when I can be a strong person like my grandpa."


    The girl stood on tiptoe, patting the tall man''s shoulder, saying, "Don''t worry, as long as you''re urate, I''ll reward you. Let me tell you, my grandpa has a lot of treasures. Just pick any one."


    "Xiaobai." The old man saw the girl dare to pat the tall man''s shoulder and almost had a heart attack. He started to feel dizzy, his consciousness beginning to blur.


    Just as the girl stood on tiptoe, patting the tall man''s shoulder...


    The air seemed to solidify.


    One after another, figures appeared around them.


    Each figure emitted the aura of the peak of the ninth realm.


    Twenty figures of the peak of the ninth realm, quietly standing nearby.


    The leading figure''s aura surpassed even the ninth realm.


    However, these figures appeared behind the girl, and coupled with her low strength, she didn''t sense anything unusual, still unaware.


    But the girl didn''t know, while the old man next to her sensed it clearly, his forehead covered in cold sweat, his legs trembling, almost kneeling down on the spot.


    "Step back."


    The tall man stood with his hands behind his back, calmly saying.


    Immediately, all the figures that appeared disappeared as if receiving an order.


    The path returned to its original state.


    Only the old man knew what had just happened.


    He and the girl had just passed through the gates of hell.


    "You resemble an old friend of mine."


    The tall man smiled faintly.


    He reached out and patted the girl''s head.


    "Oh my."


    The girl didn''t know why, but facing the tall man''s gesture, she didn''t have any sense of resistance, standing dumbly in ce.


    "Go back."


    "Practice well."


    The tall man raised his right hand.


    With a light wave.


    The old man and the girl felt darkness before their eyes.


    When they opened them again, they found themselves back fifty miles away.


    "Grandpa, what''s this?"


    The girl was bewildered, unable to react for a while.


    What''s going on?


    Wasn''t she just chatting with that tall man?


    "Xiaobai!!!"


    Only the old man recovered.


    He directly grabbed the girl''s cor.


    Then


    He ran in the opposite direction of the pce like crazy.


    Several hourster.


    Tens of thousands of miles away from the pce.


    The old man finally stopped.


    Fear still filled his face.


    "Do you know who that person was just now?"


    The old man took a deep breath, raised his right hand as if to give the girl a p, but ultimately couldn''t bring himself to do it.


    "Huh?"


    "Who was he?"


    The girl blinked her eyes.


    By now, she had vaguely realized something.


    "He is..."


    "He is the Demon Emperor."


    "He is Xiahou Yuan, the Demon Emperor?"


    The old man''s voice trembled.


    "He is the Demon Emperor?"


    Xiaobai widened her eyes again.


    After a long time.


    Xiaobai suddenly remembered a question.


    This question was embarrassing to ask before, but now that she had just seen the Demon Emperor and hadn''t died, she naturally wanted to ask it.


    "Grandpa."


    "Everyone says that the Demon Emperor Xiahou Yuan is unfathomable."


    "How strong is he exactly?"


    The girl looked at the old man expectantly.


    "How strong?"


    The old man seemed to see the tall man''s figure again in front of him.


    "He should..."


    "He should be as strong as the heavens." (And above! :D)

    ...


    "Only."


    The old man suddenly remembered something.


    He looked at the young girl repeatedly.


    If he hadn''t seen it wrong just now.


    The young girl tiptoed and patted the shoulder of that tall man?


    If that tall man was the Demon Emperor, wouldn''t it mean that the girl patted the Demon Emperor''s shoulder?


    Such a grossly disrespectful act, yet both the old man and his granddaughter could stille out alive, it was simply unimaginable.


    That was Demon Emperor Xiahou Yuan.


    The ruthless person who once ttened the Tianjian Mountain with a single step.


    When he saw the girl patting the other party''s shoulder just now, he was so terrified that his consciousness began to blur.


    He just didn''t expect that nothing happened afterwards.


    "You resemble an old friend of mine."


    The old man remembered a sentence said by the tall man.


    Could it be that his adopted granddaughter is an old friend of Xiahou Yuan?


    The old man was momentarily puzzled.


    After thinking for a while.


    The old man simply stopped thinking too much.


    Regardless of the rtionship between the girl and the Demon Emperor.


    She was still his granddaughter, having been together for more than ten years, their bond was stronger than that of rtives.


    Underground Pce.


    Lin Yuan''s gaze looked towards the old man''s location from afar.


    "Descendant of the Bai Family."


    Lin Yuan''s expression was calm.


    The descendants of the Bai Family were the deepest bond of Xiahou Yuan. Lin Yuan had just appeared in front of that girl, reached out, and patted her head.


    He also sent a strand of vital energy over.


    This strand of vital energy could subtly improve the girl''s aptitude. With this strand of vital energy, it wouldn''t be difficult for her to step into the ninth stage in the future.


    Lin Yuan''s move also counted aspletely severing the cause and effect between the original Xiahou Yuan and the Bai Family.


    "The Five Realms."


    Lin Yuan''s gaze was profound.


    Under hismand, the forces of the demonic path swiftly unified thend of the Five Realms with terrifying speed.


    It wasn''t that Lin Yuan wanted to sit on the throne of the ruler of the Five Realms, but to promote the martial arts cultivation system as openly as possible.


    Only by unifying the Five Realms could martial arts be spread openly and uprightly. This was Lin Yuan''s true purpose.


    During his hundreds of years in this realm, he had thoroughly integrated the martial arts cultivation system into the Five Realms.


    In this way, even if he left in the future, or even if the forces of the demonic path were overthrown, the martial arts cultivation system might not necessarily disappear with them.


    Just like the interster colonization movement, colonizers would spread their culture andnguage as much as possible in the colonies.


    In this way, even if they were to be expelled in the future and the colonies were to be independent again, there was a high probability that they would still use thenguage and culture of the colonizers.


    There were numerous powerful beings in the main world, and countless evolutionary paths coexisted. Even if the martial arts evolutionary path was excellent, it couldn''tpete with those paths that had existed for tens of thousands or millions of years.


    In that case, it was better to open up another battlefield and spread his own evolutionary path in other worlds.


    Although the scale of the other worlds was far inferior to the main world, such as the current Five Realms world, at most it wasparable to a high-level life in the main world.


    But quantity was overwhelming.


    With the Gate of the Myriad Worlds, Lin Yuan could almost achieve an infinite number of transmissions.


    And, in the main world, even if there were billions of citizens, how many of them could truly practice a certain evolutionary path?


    However, in other worlds, Lin Yuan believed that with his means, he could make the martial arts cultivation system be the mainstream cultivation system.


    That is, the cultivation system that all living beings would prioritize practicing.


    Day after day, umtion after umtion, what would those superiors in the main world have topete with Lin Yuan?


    "Although I''m not sure what use it would be to spread my own established evolutionary path and how it rtes to the ultimate leap."


    "But it''s nothing bad for me, just a matter of raising my hand."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    After all, even if more people practiced the martial arts evolutionary path, it wouldn''t have much impact on Lin Yuan. As for worrying about future generations surpassing Lin Yuan, the founder...


    If it were an ordinary founder of an evolutionary path, there might be such concerns.


    But Lin Yuan...


    With his Unrivaled Insight, even if he were ater, he would quickly catch up to everyone. Theter generations wouldn''t even have the qualification to look up to Lin Yuan, let alone surpass him.


    "My lord."


    At this time, a voice came from outside.


    "Come in."


    As if Lin Yuan had anticipated it, he nodded and said.


    Soon.


    A figure walked in respectfully.


    It was St Mng.


    A hundred years had passed, and with Lin Yuan''s help, St Mng had smoothly reached the tenth stage.


    He was also the first tenth-stage powerhouse among Lin Yuan''s many subordinates.


    "A perfect vessel."


    Lin Yuan looked at the respectful St Mng and silently thought to himself.


    St Mng''s original body was the Five-Colored Lotus, and his flesh and spirit all came from Lin Yuan.


    Therefore, in Lin Yuan''s eyes, St Mng was the most perfect vessel for descent.


    Simply put, if Lin Yuan''s body were destroyed, he could directly inhabit St Mng''s body.


    The two fit perfectly, without any need for adaptation.


    Of course.


    In Lin Yuan''s eyes.


    The importance of St Mng as a descent vessel far outweighed anything else.


    With Lin Yuan''s current strength, even if all the powerhouses in this realm were to join forces.


    It wouldn''t be enough for him to p them with one hand. The only thing that could threaten Lin Yuan was the world consciousness of this side of the world.


    There was simply no need to prepare any descent vessels at all.


    "I want you to do something."


    Lin Yuan looked at St Mng and slowly spoke.


    "My lord, please say."


    St Mng immediately said seriously.


    Even if the lord asked him tomit suicide now, St Mng would do it without hesitation.


    "In a hundred and forty years, I will leave this world."


    "At that time, you will rece me and ensure that the martial arts cultivation system continues to spread. If there is a trend of decline, intervene."


    Lin Yuan said.


    Everything in the world could not escape the passage of time.


    Although in the past hundred years, the martial arts cultivation system had been thoroughly spread across thend of the Five Realms.


    And there were more and more people practicing martial arts.


    But over time, there might be many unexpected urrences.


    And St Mng, he was the ace in the hole left by Lin Yuan, the best candidate to safeguard the ''Way of Martial Arts''.


    St Mng was not of the human race; his original form was a Five-Colored Lotus, with a long lifespan, able to live for thousands of years. Coupled with Lin Yuan''s assistance in cultivating his skills, it wouldn''t be a problem for him to reach the eleventh stage before Lin Yuan''s departure limit arrived.


    With such a guardian of the Way, Lin Yuan naturally felt relieved. After all, St Mng''s flesh and spirit were all bestowed by him, absolutely loyal. Even if a long time passed, he wouldn''t harbor any other thoughts.


    As for what would happen after St Mng''s death thousands of yearster... Lin Yuan believed that if the Way of Martial Arts could exist in thend of the Five Realms for thousands of years, it must have taken root thoroughly. Even if someone wanted to erase it, it would be impossible.


    Moreover, even if something unexpected happened, Lin Yuan wouldn''t be able to do anything about it. A thousand years was not just a distance; it was an extremely long period of time.


    "Yes." St Mng agreed without hesitation.


    "If the forces of the demonic path are threatened..." St Mng asked cautiously.


    His implication was, if the forces of the demonic path could no longer maintain their rule over the Five Realms in the future, should he intervene to maintain it?


    "You need not concern yourself with that." "You just need to ensure the inheritance of the Way of Martial Arts." Lin Yuan waved his hand.


    Ensuring the inheritance of a certain cultivation system waspletely different from ensuring the inheritance of a unified force. Thetter had many hidden dangers. Even with the strength of the eleventh stage, St Mng might not be able to retreat safely if he dared to intervene.


    St Mng wasn''t Lin Yuan; he didn''t possess the overwhelming strength to crush everything. The fact that there had been eleventh-stage powerhouses in this world indicated that there was a possibility of more eleventh-stage powerhouses being born in the future.


    Lin Yuan didn''t care. With his sixteenth-stage strength, no matter how many eleventh-stage powerhouses there were, he could kill them all without mercy.


    Furthermore, Lin Yuan had already left some trump cards for the forces of the demonic path, ensuring their continued rule over the Five Realms for hundreds or thousands of years after his departure.


    "Go." "After today, you need not show yourself in front of others." "Just observe the Five Realms in secret." Lin Yuan instructed.


    "Yes, my lord." St Mng felt somewhat lost in his heart.


    He faintly felt that his lord was giving his final instructions?


    But how could that be possible? The lifespan of a tenth-stage powerhouse reached two thousand years. The lord could kill a tenth-stage powerhouse as easily as crushing ants; how could he speak of leaving instructions so early?


    Watching St Mng''s departing figure, Lin Yuan once again fell into contemtion.


    Topletely integrate the Way of Martial Arts into this world, Lin Yuan had made three preparations in total.


    The first preparation was to unify the Five Realms.


    To spread the Way of Martial Arts in the most orthodox manner.


    The second preparation was St Mng, the guardian of the Way.


    To ensure that the Way of Martial Arts continued to spread after his departure, and even in the face of unexpected situations, it could still be handled.


    The first two preparations were made by Lin Yuan for normal and unexpected situations, and almost covered all possibilities.


    The third preparation was aimed at the world consciousness of this world.


    The world had consciousness.


    Lin Yuan had vaguely sensed this when he first traveled. When he reached the limit of the world''s upper boundary in the martial arts world, he felt pressure from between heaven and earth, like a whale stranded on the shore. This was the rejection of the world consciousness.


    As for the second and third world travels, Lin Yuan didn''t have this feeling at all, mainly because these two worlds were ''special''.


    The Dragon and Tiger world had items like the True Martial Sword and the Primitive Demon Spirit from the ''Upper Realm'', and the world itself was vaguely elevated. Lin Yuan didn''t feel any rejection at all.


    As for the Divine Weapon world, it was equivalent to being damaged, with some of the rules being drawn out by ancient gods and turned into divine weapons, resulting in a weakening of the world''s consciousness.


    And now, in this world, Lin Yuan could vaguely sense the world''s will.


    What was the world''s will? It didn''t have emotions, simr to the artificial intelligence of the main world, constantly maintaining the operation of the world itself.


    Lin Yuan''s third preparation was to prevent the world consciousness from deliberately suppressing the Way of Martial Arts.


    If the world consciousness disliked the Way of Martial Arts evolutionary path, under its own evolution, even with St Mng as the guardian, the Way of Martial Arts evolutionary path might notst long and might disappear due to various ''idents''.


    "World consciousness." Lin Yuan muttered to himself.


    The world consciousness was not a physical entity.


    If Lin Yuan wanted to see the world consciousness, it was difficult to say difficult and easy to say not difficult.


    The simplest method was to use the Son of Fortune.


    The Son of Fortune was a product of the great fortune of the world, and was a target of special attention for the world consciousness.


    If Lin Yuan found the Son of Fortune, he might be able tomunicate with the world consciousness.


    Of course, even without the Son of Fortune, there was still a way to force the world consciousness to appear.


    That was


    Destroying this world.


    This method was naturally not something Lin Yuan would use.


    But he could deliberately bring it up to scare the world consciousness.


    "Son of Fortune." Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Over a hundred years ago, the Yin Spiritual being had seen those three Sons of Fortune at a nce.


    He remembered their aura.


    But shortly after, these three Sons of Fortune disappeared from thend of the Five Realms.


    Lin Yuan spected that under the influence of the great fortune of heaven and earth, these three probably had some kind of adventure.


    "Let''s wait a little longer." After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan once again immersed himself in cultivation.


    With his current strength, as long as those three Sons of Fortune reappeared in thend of the Five Realms, he would be able to perceive it in an instant.


    Time passed.


    In the blink of an eye, several years had passed.


    In the Eastern Region, in a certain purple bamboo forest.


    Boom!


    A series of loud noises rang out.


    Immediately after, three figures shot up into the sky.


    Their vast and profound auras spread recklessly.


    For tens of miles, hundreds of miles, and even thousands of miles around, they were all shrouded in terrifying auras.


    "Hahaha." "We''re out, we''re finally out." Xiao Huo, Yang Bixing, Shen Lang, and the three othersughed madly.


    Their clothes were tattered, but their eyes were extremely bright.


    During the past hundred years, they had experienced endless torment underground and finally passed the test, relying on their own strength to walk out.


    And after such a long time of cultivation.


    The strength of the three had all transcended from the peak of the ninth stage to the tenth stage.


    And even the peak of the tenth stage.


    Furthermore.


    In the underground world, the three of them discovered a secret technique ofbining attacks.


    After mastering it, when the three of them joined forces, they were enough to contend with an eleventh-stage, or even a twelfth-stage powerhouse.


    After a long time, the three of them finished venting their emotions.


    They began to gather together to discuss what to do next.


    "With our current strength, even a hundred thousand years ago, we could have dominated a region. If we use that secret technique, we might even surpass the Demon Emperor Xiahou Yuan." Shen Lang said this, but he didn''t continue. There was only a hint of ambition in his eyes.


    For a hundred years in the underground world, the Demon Emperor Xiahou Yuan was a nightmare that they couldn''t shake off in their hearts.


    If the three of them could defeat Xiahou Yuan, no, as long as they could contend with Xiahou Yuan, even if they could save their lives from Xiahou Yuan, that nightmare-like impact would disappearpletely.


    With their state of mind reaching perfection, even if they challenged the eleventh stage, there was a great chance of sess.


    "Well," Xiao Huo was also slightly excited in his heart, about to ask when to go and find Xiahou Yuan.


    Suddenly, at this moment.


    A low, maic voice sounded.


    "You don''t need to find me."


    In an instant, the sky and earth were reversed, and there was no light from the sun and moon.


    For thousands of miles around, a strange aura filled the air.


    Under the shocked gazes of Xiao Huo, Yang Bixing, and Shen Lang,


    A tall figure walked from the horizon. With each step, the space seemed topress. After taking only a few steps, he arrived in front of them.


    "I came by myself."


    The tall figure stopped and looked down at Xiao Huo and the others.


    "Demon, Demon Emperor Xiahou Yuan." Xiao Huo''s scalp tingled, and his mind trembled. He felt that the power of the tenth stage in his body waspletely silent.


    In front of Xiahou Yuan, Xiao Huo felt that he was not an invincible tenth-stage powerhouse at all, but a baby, an ant.


    "Why are you so strong?" Shen Lang felt despair in his heart.


    At this moment, Xiahou Yuan gave them the feeling that he was ten times, a hundred times stronger than the reversed Spiritual God a hundred years ago.


    During these hundred years, not only had they made rapid progress, Xiahou Yuan had also been constantly improving.


    His improvement was even faster than theirs, countless times faster.


    "I," Xiao Huo opened his mouth, wanting to say something.


    But he saw Xiahou Yuan, who was high in the sky, raise his right hand and press down towards them.


    Hum! The terrifying aura instantly began topress.


    Xiao Huo and the other two suddenly spat out blood and their consciousness began to blur.


    "Is this the end?" Yang Bixing slowly closed her eyes.


    However, at this moment.


    A cold, grand will appeared silently.


    Xiao Huo slowly stood up, his originally red eyes had turned into pure gold.


    He looked up at Lin Yuan.


    Although he was looking up, there was a sense of looking down.


    As if the heavens were looking down on all living beings.


    "World consciousness." Lin Yuan withdrew his right hand and stood behind him.


    "You finally showed up."


    ...

    ...


    Xiao Huo stood upright, his pair of pure golden eyes showing no emotional fluctuations.


    Seeing this, Lin Yuan was not surprised.


    For him, St Mng was the perfect vessel; a single thought could take control of his body.


    After all, everything about St Mng was bestowed upon by Lin Yuan; the former couldn''t resist, not even having the thought of resistance.


    Likewise, in the eyes of the lofty World Consciousness, the most perfect vessel was naturally the Son of Fortune.


    As long as the World Consciousness was willing, it could descend upon the Son of Fortune at any time and take control of everything.


    Faced with the arrival of the World Will, the Son of Fortunecouldn''t resist; even if they were strong, it would be meaningless.


    Years ago, Lin Yuan had nned to force the World Consciousness to appear through those three Sons of Fortune.


    Unfortunately, the three Sons of Fortune had disappeared from the Five Domains a hundred years ago.


    Until just now, when the aura of the three Sons of Fortune reappeared, Lin Yuan rushed over immediately.


    Actually, Lin Yuan had no intention of killing the Sons of Fortune.


    He was just pretending to have murderous intent to try it out.


    Even if the World Consciousness didn''t show up in the end, Lin Yuan would still hold back.


    After all, the Sons of Fortune were favored by the grand destiny of the world; they were the "spokespersons" of the World Consciousness, and it would be a waste to kill them directly.


    Instead, it would be better to slowly extract the threads of grand destiny from them; who knows, it might be useful for him.


    But Lin Yuan was lucky; with just a little probing, he forced the World Consciousness to appear.


    Lin Yuan spected that the reason why the World Consciousness attached so much importance to these three Sons of Fortune was entirely because of the many investments made in them.


    If it were a hundred years ago, when these three Sons of Fortune only had the strength of the Ninth realm, even if Lin Yuan had intervened, the World Consciousness might not have appeared.


    The ninth-realm Son of Fortune was easy to rece even if one died, and it wasn''t difficult to nurture another.


    It was just the Tenth realm. Especially these three Sons of Fortune, at the peak of the Tenth realm, just a hair''s breadth away from the Eleventh realm. Lin Yuan even sensed a kind of simr aura from them.


    If the three of them were to join forces and activate the simr aura within them, they couldpletely erupt with the strength of the peak of the Eleventh realm, or even the Twelfth realm.


    To cultivate these three Sons of Fortune, the World Consciousness had evidently invested a lot, so it wouldn''t allow them to die so easily in Lin Yuan''s hands.


    "State your demands," Xiao Huo''s eyes were pure gold, his tone t.


    At this moment, his consciousness had fallen into sleep,pletely reced by the World Consciousness, making him the most powerful existence in this world.


    Powerful to the point where even Lin Yuan couldn''tpare.


    However, the World Consciousness was not a living being; everything it did had to follow rules, far from being as unrestrained as Lin Yuan.


    "I want the martial arts cultivation system to perpetually flourish in this world, prospering for tens of thousands, even millions of years," Lin Yuan spoke.


    If he didn''t get the tacit approval of the World Consciousness, even if Lin Yuan made many preparations, it would be difficult for the martial arts cultivation system to survive for long.


    While Lin Yuan might not encounter any idents during his time, once he left this world, under the suppression of the World Consciousness, there might be another Son of Fortune born, specifically to eradicate the martial arts cultivation system.


    "Impossible," Xiao Huodirectly refused.


    As the absolute master of this world, "he" knew very well that from the first realm to the tenth realm was the most suitable cultivation system for this world.


    As for the martial arts cultivation system, although it was not inferior to the native cultivation system, the World Consciousness subtly realized that allowing this system to rise in the Five Domains was not a good thing.


    Such an obviously distinctive cultivation system, if allowed to develop for a long time in this world, might have an impact on "himself."


    Compared to the third world Lin Yuan traversed, the world consciousness of this world was much more intact and capable of making decisions most favorable to itself.


    "Impossible," Lin Yuan''s expression remained unchanged.


    Since the World Consciousness didn''t leave immediately, it meant there was still room for negotiation. Lin Yuan had just made a big move, but he actually had a lot of room to retreat.


    Outside the purple bamboo forest.


    Yang Bixing and Shen Lang looked pale.


    When the World Consciousness descended on Xiao Huojust now, it casually threw them out.


    Apparently, it didn''t want these two to overhear Lin Yuan''s direct conversation with it.


    Lin Yuan had no objection to this.


    "He..." Yang Bixin''s lips trembled.


    The strength of Xiahou Yuan, the big demon emperor, far exceeded their imagination.


    Before seeing Xiahou Yuan, the three of them were full of ambition and made a series of ns.


    Such as what to do if Xiahou Yuan made the first move.


    What to do if they made the first move.


    How to survive if they couldn''t beat Xiahou Yuan, and so on.


    However.


    When they truly faced Xiahou Yuan, the three of them realized how unrealistic their ideas were.


    Ambition?


    A series of ns?


    No matter how much preparation they made, it couldn''t make up for the absolute gap in strength.


    In front of Xiahou Yuan, the three of them had no ability to act other than waiting for judgment like ants.


    If it weren''t for Xiao Huoin the end...


    At this point, Yang Bixing and Shen Lang exchanged nces.


    As peak-level tenth-realm experts, they were far inferior to Xiahou Yuan, and with just one nce, they couldn''t tell that Xiao Huo had been reced by the World Consciousness.


    But they also realized that Xiao Huoseemed to have changed.


    And Xiao Huo''s change directly made Xiahou Yuan stop, and even drove them out, preventing them from overhearing their conversation.


    "Could it be..."


    There was a faint guess in Shen Lang''s heart.


    He had received the inheritance of an eleventh-realm expert from fifty thousand years ago and knew many secrets of the world, including descriptions of the World Consciousness.


    But in the description of that eleventh-realm expert, the World Consciousness was called by another name.


    The Heavenly Dao.


    Or the Heavenly Sovereign.


    "What should we do now?"


    Yang Bixingasked softly.


    She nced in the direction of the purple bamboo forest, which was now hazy, as if it were another world.


    "What should we do?"


    Shen Lang thought for a moment and said helplessly, "Let''s wait here."


    He understood Yang Bixing''s meaning, asking if they should take the opportunity to leave.


    But...


    They had juste out of the underground world, and Xiahou Yuan appeared in less than a moment.


    This meant that Xiahou Yuan''s desire to find them was extremely obvious. With Xiahou Yuan''s strength, even if they took the opportunity to leave now, they couldn''t escape as long as the former still harbored murderous intent towards them.


    Instead of that...


    It was better to continue waiting for the conversation between the two inside to end.


    If ''Xiao Huo'' convinced Xiahou Yuan, they could stay even if they didn''t escape.


    If he couldn''t convince him, even if they escaped to the ends of the earth, they would still die.


    Yang Bixingfell silent at these words.


    With her intelligence, she could also think of these things, but she was too shocked to speak for a moment.


    Half an hourter...


    Under the gaze of Yang Bixingand Shen Lang...


    The hazy space in the distant purple bamboo forest gradually became clear.


    Seeing this scene, Yang Bixingand Shen Lang didn''t move rashly. Instead, they waited for another two hours before gathering the courage to approach.


    Soon...


    They found Xiao Huolying unconscious in the original position.


    As for Xiahou Yuan, he had long since disappeared.


    The two hurried forward, helped Xiao Huoup, and used their respective methods to heal him.


    Before long...


    Xiao Huowoke up faintly.


    "What happened?"


    Xiao Huofelt a splitting headache, as if he had been stirred by some huge creature for days and nights.


    Yang Bixingand Shen Lang immediately told him everything they knew.


    "I seem to have changed just now."


    Xiao Huocalmed down, frowning in thought.


    The three of them talked for a while.


    Different from when they had juste out of the underground world.


    Xiao Huoand the others no longer dared to mention Xiahou Yuan.


    Under the sky...


    Lin Yuan was in contemtion.


    Just now, he had spent half an hour chatting with the World Consciousness, reluctantly reaching a consensus.


    The World Consciousness promised to allow the martial arts cultivation system to spread in this world and not directly or indirectly interfere with it.


    This also met Lin Yuan''s expectations.


    As long as the World Consciousness didn''t intervene after he left, with the trump cards left by Lin Yuan, it would be enough to ensure the stable inheritance of the martial arts cultivation system for tens of thousands of years.


    As for after tens of thousands of years? There were probably already arge number of people who had gone through many trials in the martial arts cultivation system, enough to ensure its continued inheritance.


    Of course...


    The reason why the World Consciousness made such concessions was also because Lin Yuan made a promise.


    "The Eye of the Northern Sea."


    Lin Yuan raised his head slightly and looked towards the north.


    To be precise, it was north of the boundless sea.


    More than a hundred years ago, Lin Yuan had sensed the appearance of a ''ck hole'' there, which constantly devoured the aura of this world.


    And this ck hole was what the World Consciousness referred to as the ''Eye of the Northern Sea.''


    The Eye of the Northern Sea appeared suddenly tens of thousands of years ago in this world.


    Since then, the aura of the world had begun to decline slowly. Without the support of aura, the upper limit of the world gradually decreased.


    The World Consciousness had also made efforts. For tens of thousands of years, every time a tenth-realm expert was born, under its hint, they would go to the Eye of the Northern Sea to try to seal or suppress it.


    But the results were minimal. At most, they could only stop the expansion of the Eye of the Northern Sea, but it continued to devour the aura of this world at every moment.


    Lin Yuan also learned from the World Consciousness that the area where the most strong people gathered in this world was not the Five Domains.


    But the area around the Eye of the Northern Sea.


    For tens of thousands of years, the World Consciousness had continuously hinted to the strong to go there.


    Over generations...


    Those strong people gradually took root in the area around the Eye of the Northern Sea.


    As a result, in the area around the Eye of the Northern Sea, there was no shortage of tenth-realm experts, and even eleventh-realm experts.


    "The reason why the World Consciousness is cultivating those three Sons of Fortuneis probably to use them to suppress the Eye of the Northern Sea."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Those three Sons of Fortune, when they join forces, can erupt with the peak power of the eleventh realm, or even the twelfth realm. Even in the area of the Eye of the Northern Sea, they can be considered top-notch experts.


    "The Eye of the Northern Sea."


    Lin Yuan''s eyes were deep.


    His promise to the World Consciousness was to try to repair the Eye of the Northern Sea as much as possible, but there was no guarantee of sess.


    However, even without the conversation with the World Consciousness, Lin Yuan would eventually go to the Eye of the Northern Sea.


    After all, letting the Eye of the Northern Sea continue to devour the aura of this world, constantly causing the upper limit of the world to decrease, would also be detrimental to Lin Yuan. At least, cultivation would be suppressed.


    Moreover, if this continued, there woulde a day when this world would be devoured.


    By then, what would be the point of Lin Yuan passing down his teachings and painstakinglyying down the martial arts cultivation system, only to be swallowed up along with the world?


    "Let''s go."


    "Visit the Eye of the Northern Sea."


    Without even returning to the underground pce, Lin Yuan flew directly north.


    Nowadays, the Five Domains have stabilized, and even if there are asional remnants of forces from a hundred years ago rebelling, it doesn''t affect the overall situation.


    Nuan Shu, the Demon Lord Moyang, and others strictly govern the Five Domains ording to the rules set by Lin Yuan, so there shouldn''t be any major problems.


    Swish! In the blink of an eye.


    Lin Yuan left the range of the Five Domains.


    He arrived above the boundless sea.


    The terrifying waves were raging, making it difficult for ordinary sixth or seventh realm experts to move an inch.


    However...


    All the waves quieted down within a hundred meters of Lin Yuan''s body.


    On the raging sea, the area around Lin Yuan seemed to form another world.


    "No wonder only the tenth realm is called by the World Consciousness."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    It would be impossible for ninth realm experts to pass through this sea.


    North of the boundless sea.


    A white tower stood tall.


    On top of the tower, a chubby man sat cross-legged.


    "It''s been twenty years, and I can finally go back. I''ll take a good rest when the timees."


    The chubby man sighed.


    Even tenth realm experts who spent ten or a hundred years here with the vast sea as theirpanion would find it boring.


    "I wonder when the Eye of the Sea will disappear. I heard that in that direction, there is the Five Domains, which is muchrger and more vast than the Northern Sea Ind."


    The chubby man thought silently to himself.


    He was born and lived on Northern Sea Ind, naturally yearning for the so-called Five Domains.


    "It''s just that the Ind Lord and a few Vice Ind Lords forbid us from leaving," the chubby man sneered.


    The Ind Lord and Vice Ind Lords were the heavens of Northern Sea Ind and the boundless sea, high-ranking eleventh realm experts whomanded many strong people on Northern Sea Ind to join forces to suppress the Eye of the Northern Sea.


    "Huh?"


    "It seems like someone''sing?"


    The chubby man seemed to have noticed something and immediately stared at a certain direction to the south.


    On the vast sea, a streak of light was rapidly approaching.


    "Could it be a tenth realm experting from the Five Domains?"


    The chubby man''s eyes lit up.


    He had long known that every so often, tenth realm experts from the Five Domains woulde over to join the ranks of suppressing the Eye of the Northern Sea.


    However, with the passage of time, the number of tenth realm expertsing from the Five Domains had be fewer and fewer.


    The most recent one came nearly ten thousand years ago.


    "I heard that these experts from the Five Domains are very unruly at first, thinking highly of themselves. They need to be reminded."


    The chubby man suddenly thought.


    Tenth realm expertsing from the Five Domains were basically invincible in the Five Domains, with extremely proud personalities.


    Suddenly arriving in Northern Sea Ind, they would surely have a hard time adapting.


    "Swoosh."


    The chubby man immediately flew up, ready to greet the new tenth realm expert who had just arrived, and at the same time, to teach him not to make any mistakes on Northern Sea Ind, especially not to offend the Ind Lord and Vice Ind Lords.


    The chubby man was thinking about it.


    At that moment.


    Boom!


    Several streaks of light flew over from behind.


    Surprisingly, just like the chubby man, they flew towards the new ''tenth realm'' that had arrived?


    "Huh?"


    The chubby man widened his eyes.


    "Nn Ind Lord, and a few Vice Ind Lords."


    The chubby man took a deep breath, recognizing who the streaks of light flying from behind were.


    They were the high-ranking eleventh realm experts, the heavens of Northern Sea Ind and the boundless sea.


    "That person, does he have a grudge against the Ind Lord and Vice Ind Lords?"


    Seeing Nn Ind Lord and several Vice Ind Lordsing personally, the chubby man couldn''t help but mourn for the new ''tenth realm'' that had just arrived.


    However...


    In the next moment.


    Under the shocked gaze of the chubby man.


    Nn Ind Lord and several Vice Ind Lords flying towards the new ''tenth realm'' all stopped.


    And they slightly bowed, showing respectful attitudes towards the new ''tenth realm,'' saying in unison:


    "Greetings, Lord."

    ...


    "Do you know me?"


    Lin Yuan immediately understood. It must be the world consciousness, informing the strong near the Eye of the North Sea.


    The world consciousness was lofty; even ninth and tenth stage experts didn''t have the qualifications for contact.


    Xiao Huo and the other two, if they weren''t about to die by Lin Yuan''s hand, the world consciousness wouldn''t have descended.


    But eleventh stage experts were different.


    Eleventh stage experts could be said to be the limit of this world. For tens of thousands of years, the strongest had only reached the eleventh stage.


    Lin Yuan had made a deal with the world consciousness toe here and try to solve the hidden dangers of the Eye of the North Sea.


    Naturally, the world consciousness would inform the eleventh stage experts in this area in advance to prevent any ''idents'' from happening.


    "Yes."


    Nn Ind''s Master and several vice-ind masters said respectfully.


    At this moment, Nn Ind''s Master''s mind shook. Not long ago, he had received instructions from the ''Heavenly Dao'' to let himself and others go meet an important personage.


    Someone who mightpletely resolve the Eye of the North Sea.


    In the instructions of the ''Heavenly Dao'', everyone had to obey this person''smands without any thoughts of opposition.


    Anyway, after this person arrived, the several eleventh stages on the North Sea Ind, as well as many tenth stage experts, had to obey that person''s orders.


    Although Nn Ind''s Master was somewhat puzzled, he could onlyply.


    "So be it."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    He was quite satisfied.


    The world consciousness of this world considered everythingprehensively.


    Just a moment''s thought, it was rted to the future of this world, and the world consciousness would naturally try to avoid any idents as much as possible.


    "However."


    Lin Yuan looked around.


    The further north he went, the more he could feel the density of the world''s aura increasing. When he arrived here, it was almost ten times that of the vastnd.


    This was not difficult to understand.


    For tens of thousands of years, the Eye of the North Sea had been swallowing the aura of the world like a ''ck hole'', devouring the aura of the world in all directions.


    As a result, the density of the world''s aura around it naturally increased.


    It was like a long river flowing into the sea, irrigating many fields on both sides while flowing into the sea.


    Lin Yuan spected that the ce he was in now had an aura density close to that of the peak period tens of thousands of years ago.


    The closer to the Eye of the North Sea, the higher the aura density would increase.


    "No wonder there are so many tenth and eleventh stages."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    In the vastnd, it took thousands or even tens of thousands of years for a tenth stage expert to appear, as for the eleventh stage? It had never appeared in fifty thousand years.


    If it weren''t for a few ancient books recording, people would think the eleventh stage was just a legend.


    And near the Eye of the North Sea, Lin Yuan sensed at least dozens of tenth stage expert auras and six eleventh stage experts.


    That included the Nn Ind Master in front of him and the five vice-ind masters.


    Nn Ind''s Master''s strength was at the peak of the eleventh stage, just half a step away from the twelfth stage.


    To produce so many experts, the requirements for the world''s environment were undoubtedly very high.


    However, with the rich aura here and the swallowing and spitting out of the Eye of the North Sea, it was not surprising that the aura of the whole world gathered here to supply so many experts.


    "Take me to the Eye of the North Sea."


    After casually asking a few questions, Lin Yuan said directly.


    "This way, sir."


    Nn Ind''s Master immediately led Lin Yuan personally.


    The other five vice-ind masters followed closely behind.


    The group headed towards the location of the Eye of the North Sea.


    In the distance.


    The chubby man watched as Lin Yuan, surrounded by the Nn Ind Master and the five vice-ind masters, headed towards the direction of the North Sea Ind.


    "Why are both the ind master and the vice-ind masters so respectful?"


    The chubby man found it hard to believe. If he hadn''t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn''t have been able to imagine that the usually decisive Nn Ind Master and the five vice-ind masters would have such a ttering side.


    "Who is that person?"


    The chubby man''s attention once again focused on Lin Yuan.


    Originally, the chubby man thought Lin Yuan was a neer ''tenth stage'' from the vastnd.


    But now it seemed that this idea was obviously wrong.


    A mere new ''tenth stage'' couldn''t even surprise him, let alone the Nn Ind Master and the vice-ind masters.


    "Ah, I still have twenty years of duty to guard the tower, otherwise, I would definitely go and investigate."


    The chubby man sighed. In this hundred years, he was responsible for guarding the tower and couldn''t leave.


    Led by the Nn Ind''s Master and the five vice-ind masters.


    Lin Yuan soon arrived at an ''ind''.


    It was called an ''ind'', but it was more like a small continent.


    Although it couldn''tpare with the vastnd, there were hundreds of millions of people living on it.


    Most of the auras of the dozens of tenth stage experts Lin Yuan had sensed before came from this ind.


    "We call this ind North Sea Ind," exined Nn Ind''s Master beside him.


    "The Eye of the North Sea. It''s right there."


    Nn Ind''s Master pointed with his hand.


    In the north of North Sea Ind, there was a faint ck line. If one observed carefully, one would find that this ck line was a deep, abyss-like ''void''.


    Every moment, there was what could be called a massive amount of natural aura pouring into the ''void''.


    Soon.


    Nn Ind''s Master brought Lin Yuan to the Eye of the North Sea.


    Compared to observing from afar, being close to the Eye of the North Sea at this moment was even more awe-inspiring. It seemed like a crack in the world, pitch-ck and daunting.


    "It''s about eight hundred thousand miles in diameter."


    Lin Yuan roughly estimated the range of the Eye of the North Sea.


    "The Eye of the North Sea usually expands slowly, and nine tenth-stage experts are enough to guard it."


    "But every hundred years, the Eye of the North Sea goes crazy and expands once."


    "At that time, I and several vice-ind masters will take action and use the sealing technique to suppress it."


    "But it''s of little use."


    "The Eye of the North Sea still continues to expand slowly."


    "I remember thousands of years ago, the Eye of the North Sea was only about seven hundred and fifty thousand miles in diameter, and now it''s approaching eight hundred thousand miles."


    Nn Ind''s Master said this with a hint of worry on his face.


    ording to this trend, in another hundred thousand years, the Eye of the North Sea would expand to two million miles in diameter.


    By then, the Eye of the North Sea would probably show a devouring stance of the world, and even if they risked their lives, they wouldn''t be able to stop it as they could now.


    "I see."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly, understanding.


    "Show me all the sealing techniques you have for the Eye of the North Sea."


    ording to Lin Yuan''s observation, the several tenth-stage experts guarding the four sides of the Eye of the North Sea were using sealing techniques that had a good restraining effect on it.


    Although the Eye of the North Sea continued to slowly expand and diffuse, the speed was noticeably slower under the sealing technique.


    Lin Yuan spected that this sealing technique mighte from the world consciousness. Even if it didn''t, it was probably formed under the covert promotion of the world consciousness.


    "This is the sealing technique for the Eye of the North Sea."


    Without hesitation, Nn Ind''s Master took out a jade stone that recorded the sealing technique mentioned by Lin Yuan.


    In order to suppress the Eye of the North Sea as much as possible, Nn Ind''s Master had already disseminated this sealing technique.


    Even if Lin Yuan didn''t ask for it, he could easily get it when he returned to North Sea Ind.


    "Thank you."


    Lin Yuan took the jade stone.


    Next.


    Lin Yuan returned to North Sea Ind with Nn Ind''s Master.


    Suppressing the Eye of the North Sea was not something that could be done overnight.


    Lin Yuan went to see it with Nn Ind''s Master this time and returned to the ind afterward, which seemed perfectly normal to others.


    North Sea Ind.


    A-grade cave mansion.


    This cave mansion was the most abundant in aura on the entire North Sea Ind.


    Originally, it belonged to Nn Ind''s Master, but since Lin Yuan hade, it naturally had to be temporarily upied by Lin Yuan.


    "Sofortable."


    Lin Yuan took a deep breath, and arge amount of condensed natural aura entered his nose.


    Although, at Lin Yuan''s current level, this amount of natural aura was like a drop in the bucket,pared to the ''barren'' vastnd, it was undoubtedly dozens or even hundreds of times better.


    "Okay."


    "Time to get to work."


    Lin Yuan''s expression became slightly serious.


    Through daytime observation, Lin Yuan knew that the Eye of the North Sea was not something that human power could contend with.


    Even if Lin Yuan''s strength was stronger, it would be impossible to directly solve the Eye of the North Sea.


    The best way was, in fact, like what Nn Ind''s Master did, to use sealing techniques to restrain the expansion of the Eye of the North Sea.


    Thinking of this, Lin Yuan''s mind merged into the jade stone and began to browse the sealing technique.


    "Seal Eye Technique, the name is direct enough."


    Lin Yuan nced at the name of this technique and shook his head slightly.


    The Seal Eye Technique was divided into four levels: Entry, Minor Achievement, Major Achievement, and Perfection.


    Generally speaking, only those who had cultivated this technique to the level of Major Achievement had the qualifications to go and suppress the Eye of the North Sea.


    Like Nn Ind''s Master and the five vice-ind masters, they had cultivated this technique to the level of Perfection.


    Lin Yuan began to repeatedly study this technique.


    [Your insight is unrivaled, and youprehend the ''Primordial Seal Eye Technique'' by viewing the ''Seal Eye Technique''.]


    Several dayster, Lin Yuan hadprehended the ''Primordial Seal Eye Technique'' from the original ''Seal Eye Technique''.


    North Sea Road.


    Another A-grade cave mansion.


    Nn Ind''s Master and the five vice-ind masters sat facing each other.


    "What is the origin of that great person?"


    One of the vice-ind masters couldn''t help but ask.


    They had no doubts about the instructions of the ''Heavenly Dao'', but Lin Yuan came from the vastnd.


    And in their eyes, most of the natural aura from the vastnd had long been sucked away by the Eye of the North Sea.


    Even giving birth to a tenth-stage expert was extremely difficult, so how could someone be born who couldpletely solve the existence of the Eye of the North Sea?


    "Are you questioning?"


    Nn Ind''s Master nced at the vice-ind master.


    "I dare not, I dare not."


    "I''m just curious."


    The vice-ind master quickly shook his head.


    What a joke.


    Who dared to question the instructions of the Heavenly Dao?


    "No need to be curious."


    "Since we received the instructions of the ''Heavenly Dao'' and fully cooperate with that great person, there is no need to think too much, just do our best."


    Nn Ind''s Master said lightly.


    The other vice-ind masters immediately lowered their eyes and remained silent.


    "How should we cooperate?" After warning the vice-ind master, Nn Ind''s Master couldn''t help but mutter to himself.


    From the time they received Lin Yuan until now, the other party had behaved properly.


    No matter how you looked at it, it didn''t seem like he had the ability topletely solve the Eye of the North Sea.


    Two weekster.


    Lin Yuan once again followed Nn Ind''s Master to the Eye of the North Sea.


    Looking at the pitch-ck void of the North Sea Eye in front of him, Lin Yuan''s gaze was calm.


    After half a month ofprehension, relying on his extraordinary insight, Lin Yuan not only perfected the ''Seal Eye Technique'' but also created the ''Primordial Seal Eye Technique'' and the ''Primordial wless Seal Eye Technique'' based on this technique.


    Especially the ''Primordial wless Seal Eye Technique'' was much more advanced than the original ''Seal Eye Technique''.


    Of course, to activate the ''Primordial wless Seal Eye Technique'', one must have cultivation above the fifteenth stage.


    This is also why for hundreds of thousands of years, the tenth and eleventh-stage experts on North Sea Ind have always used the Seal Eye Technique.


    Not only because their insights are far inferior to Lin Yuan''s, but also because with their strength, they are far from being able to promote the transformation of the Seal Eye Technique.


    "Okay."


    "You let them all retreat."


    "From today onwards, the Eye of the North Sea will be handed over to me."


    Lin Yuan spoke up.


    As soon as these words came out, Nn Ind''s Master''s pupils slightly contracted.


    Even in normal times, guarding the Eye of the North Sea requires at least nine tenth-stage experts to guard from various angles and directions, thus ensuring that the expansion of the Eye of the North Sea is restrained as much as possible.


    But now? Lin Yuan let the nine tenth-stage experts retreat, wouldn''t this allow the Eye of the North Sea to expand unchecked?


    Nn Ind''s Master wasn''t suspecting Lin Yuan''s strength, but the Eye of the North Sea was toorge, with a diameter of up to eight hundred thousand miles. One person simply couldn''t handle it.


    "Great Master."


    A vice-ind master beside him was about to speak up to persuade him.


    "Do as the Great Master says."


    After pondering for a while, Nn Ind''s Master said directly.


    "Yes."


    Seeing this, the other vice-ind masters immediately got up and let the tenth-stage experts around the Eye of the North Sea retreat.


    Boom.


    With the abandonment of guarding, the spread of the Eye of the North Sea visibly elerated.


    "Great Master."


    Seeing this, Nn Ind''s Master felt a sudden pain in his heart.


    With the current size of the Eye of the North Sea, even if it expanded by just one meter more, its rate of devouring natural aura would increase significantly.


    "Not good."


    "The Eye of the North Sea is about to start expanding wildly."


    The vice-ind master who spoke first seemed to sense something and his face changed drastically.


    However.


    Before he could say anything else.


    He witnessed an unbelievable scene.


    Lin Yuan, who had been standing beside them all along, instead of retreating, took a sudden step forward and quickly walked to the sky above the Eye of the North Sea.


    Immediately, he manifested the Yang and Yin spirits, with the Yin spirit and Yang spirit standing at both ends of the Eye of the North Sea, while he himself sat above the Eye of the North Sea.


    Buzz!


    The surging suppression force, like a vast ocean, poured out, directly enveloping the entire Eye of the North Sea. During this period, no matter how the Eye of the North Sea expanded, it was unable to make any progress under the suppression.


    Moreover, as time passed, the Eye of the North Sea was gradually shrinking.


    "This..."


    Several vice-ind masters were dumbfounded.


    For hundreds of thousands of years, the Eye of the North Sea had been expanding, and no matter how hard they tried, it had never shrunk by half a point.


    "The world... is saved."


    Nn Ind''s Master looked up at the figures standing above the two hundred thousand zhang spirits, murmuring to himself.


    "Such a rich natural aura."


    Above the Eye of the North Sea, Lin Yuan only felt surrounded by endless natural aura.


    During the suppression of the Eye of the North Sea, the natural aura from the entire world did not disappear, but continued to pour towards the Eye of the North Sea.


    However, since the Eye of the North Sea was suppressed and unable to absorb the natural aura, it could only be absorbed by Lin Yuan.


    Time passed slowly.


    In the blink of an eye, it was one hundred and twenty yearster.

    ...


    North Sea Ind.


    The tenth-realmstrongmen were leisurely chatting, asionally ncing at the distance, where the ''North Sea Eye'' had shrunk to the size of a hundred meters.


    For over a hundred years, they had livedfortably and awe-struck.


    Comfort came from no longer needing to guard the North Sea Eye, no longer facing the deep, abyss-like gaze of the North Sea Eye.


    Watching the North Sea Eye shrink day by day was also a kind of spiritual pleasure.


    As for awe, it all came from one person.


    That person, with his own strength, surpassed this group of tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years of umted aplishments, the ''Mysterious Great One.''


    For over a hundred years, the mysterious figure had been sitting above the North Sea Eye. The Great One''s two major primordial spirits had reached a height of a million zhang each, standing at either end of the North Sea Eye.


    "Let me tell you, back then, I almost personally greeted the Great One. If it wasn''t for the Ind Master and the Vice-Ind Masters stealing the limelight, I should have been the first to speak to the Great One."


    A chubby man said proudly, conveniently omitting the fact that his initial thought was to remind Lin Yuan to keep a low profile on North Sea Ind.


    "I wonder what the origin of this Great One is, how such a powerful being was born."


    A thin tenth-realmcouldn''t help muttering.


    Shallow waters can''t raise true dragons, this wasmon knowledge among cultivators, butpared to them, the mysterious figure whopletely sealed the North Sea Eye was more than just a ''true dragon'' to them.


    Not to mention the Great One himself, even just the two million zhang primordial spirits split off from him were enough to make their minds tremble.


    "All right, the Ind Master and the Vice-Ind Masters have already said not to discuss the Great One privately, and vitors will be punished."


    At this point, a stern-faced tenth-realmsaid quietly.


    "I''m just talking, not saying anything bad about the Great One." The thin tenth-realmimmediately shook his head.


    "Besides, if the Ind Master and the Vice-Ind Masters forbid us from discussing, do you think they don''t mention that mysterious figure in private?"


    The thin tenth-realmcouldn''t help but say.


    "Since the Ind Master and the Vice-Ind Masters forbid us from discussing, they themselves will certainlyply." The stern-faced tenth-realmsaid solemnly.


    "How strong do you think the Great One''s strength is? Fourteenth realm? Or fifteenth realm?"


    In the North Sea''s A-ranked cave mansion, the Ind Master, along with several Vice-Ind Masters, also looked towards the direction of the North Sea Eye.


    One of the Vice-Ind Masters couldn''t help but exim.


    The higher the strength level, the more they could feel Lin Yuan''s terrifying aspects, the terrifying power that far surpassed the limits of this world, making them unable to even think of resisting.


    "I''m not sure. But I feel that the Great One should have transcended the level divisions long ago. The level at which the Great One exists is beyond our description and exnation."


    Another Vice-Ind Master said in a low voice.


    "No wonder ''Heavenly Dao'' prompted us to follow the Great One''s orders." The third Vice-Ind Master said thoughtfully.


    The Ind Master calmly looked towards the distant North Sea Eye.


    For over a hundred years, he had spent most of his time like this, watching the North Sea Eye disappear bit by bit, and his worries gradually faded away.


    "After our generation, the future generations of descendants will no longer face the threat of the North Sea Eye."


    The Ind Master''s reverence for Lin Yuan grew stronger by the day, almost to the point of worship.


    "But."


    The Ind Master had always had a doubt.


    Clearly, the North Sea Eye had beenpletely sealed, so why was the celestial qi still continuously converging towards the North Sea?


    Above the North Sea Eye.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    Since the North Sea Eye had shrunk to ten thousand miles in size.


    He had withdrawn his Yin and Yang primordial spirits into his body because at this scale of the North Sea Eye, he alone was enough to suppress it.


    "It''s sofortable."


    Lin Yuan''s expression was quite pleased.


    He didn''tpletely suppress the North Sea Eye, but left a little gap for it to continue swallowing the vast celestial qi of this world, which brought him immense benefits for cultivation.


    In other words, for the past one hundred and twenty years, the North Sea Eye had been working for Lin Yuan. Not only did it gain no benefits, but it also continued to shrink.


    "Eighteenth realm."


    Lin Yuan breathed out lightly, and at this moment, he had already reached the eighteenth realm.


    Of course, the eighteenth realm was the terminology of this world. ording to the Human Civilization Alliance of the main world, it was the fifth rank and twelfth stage.


    "It''s a pity."


    "To reach the sixth rank, it''s not something that can be solved with celestial qi."


    Lin Yuan silently thought to himself.


    In the main world, the leap from the fifth rank to the sixth rankwas even more difficult than from the first rank to the fifth rank.


    The fifth rank was the Land-Sinking level, while the sixth rank was the Star-Falling level. The existence of the two represented a qualitative change, and to cross over, one had to rely solely on the evolver themselves.


    For an ordinary evolver, even withplete evolutionary guidance, it was incredibly difficult, let alone Lin Yuan, the founder of the martial path of evolution?


    Although Lin Yuan had many evolutionary paths to refer to, including surpassing the sixth rank, and even the extremely mysterious yellow evolutionary path.


    But reference and creation were two different things.


    "It''s almost time."


    Lin Yuan nced at the North Sea Eye below him.


    In fact, thirty or forty years ago, Lin Yuan had the ability topletely seal the North Sea Eye. However, in order to continue enjoying the vast celestial qi swallowed by the North Sea Eye, Lin Yuan had forcibly dyed until now.


    The world consciousness of this world seemed to have noticed it.


    But there was nothing it could do.


    The world consciousness still relied on Lin Yuan to solve the North Sea Eye, and it wasn''t possible to have a falling out at this time.


    But now.


    Lin Yuan had reached the fifth rankand twelfth stage, and with the time limit of his stay, only ten more years, there was no need to waste time here.


    "Suppress."


    With this thought, Lin Yuan looked down at the hundred-meter square North Sea Eye.


    Boom!


    Under the terrifying suppression, it poured down once again.


    The North Sea Eye, which was a hundred meters in size, immediately began to shrink again.


    Ny meters.


    Eighty meters.


    Seventy meters.


    Just as the North Sea Eye shrank to ten meters.


    A terrifying consciousness pierced through the North Sea Eye and came to Lin Yuan''s ear.


    "Stop."


    The terrifying consciousness emitted a mental fluctuation, and Lin Yuan instinctively understood its meaning.


    "Stop?"


    Lin Yuan smiled faintly, paying little attention.


    Over the years, he had already spected that behind the North Sea Eye, there stood a powerful entity.


    Because when he carefully observed the North Sea Eye, relying on his Unrivaled Insight, he asionally glimpsed some ''devouring-type'' secret techniques.


    Of course, these devouring-type secret techniques were nothingpared to the ''Heavenly Devouring'' evolutionary path, but it was evident that they belonged to some powerful entity''s unique skills.


    Lin Yuan originally thought that the entity behind the North Sea Eye would remain silent until it waspletely sealed.


    But he didn''t expect the other party to eventually be impatient.


    "As long as you stop."


    "We can negotiate."


    The terrifying consciousness sounded somewhat urgent.


    "We can make a deal."


    The terrifying consciousness continued to emit mental fluctuations.


    "I''m not interested in making deals."


    Lin Yuan did not stop, continuing to suppress. The North Sea Eye continued to shrink.


    To be precise, Lin Yuan wasn''t interested in making deals with entities that had such a vast gap in strength.


    The entity behind the North Sea Eye was at least beyond the sixth rank, and making deals with beings of this level was akin to courting danger.


    Perhaps one would end up in the other party''s hands sooner orter.


    Lin Yuan made deals with the world consciousness of this world because the world consciousness was not a living being and had no personal emotions.


    Moreover, Lin Yuan had means to counteract the world consciousness, even to the extent of destroying this world, in which case nobody would benefit.


    But dealing with the entity behind the North Sea Eye? Lin Yuan believed he had no means to restrain the other party.


    Instead of worrying, it was better to simply avoid contact.


    Boom!


    The North Sea Eye continued to shrink.


    Five meters.


    Three meters.


    One meter.


    Finally.


    Several dayster.


    The North Sea Eye turned into a tiny dot finer than a hair.


    With a slight movement of Lin Yuan''s mind, the dot fell into his hand.


    At this size, the North Sea Eye posed no threat at all.


    It couldn''t even absorb the celestial qi of the world anymore.


    Whoosh.


    Lin Yuan disappeared.


    Appearing in the sky above North Sea Ind.


    At this moment, Nn Ind Master and five Vice-Ind Masters, along with many tenth-realm experts, had long been waiting in ce.


    When the North Sea Eye continued to shrink to ten meters, Nn Ind Master and the others realized that the greatest threat looming over countless strong beings in this world might soon be a thing of the past.


    So they had early led everyone here to wait.


    After all, once the North Sea Eye waspletely resolved, the mysterious figure would naturally appear.


    "You have lived here for thousands of years."


    Lin Yuan looked at Nn Ind Master and the other strong beings.


    The thousands of years here referred not to a generation but to generations.


    Since hundreds of thousands of years ago, when the North Sea Eye appeared, under the hint of the world consciousness, one powerful being after another came here.


    For hundreds of thousands of years, even Nn Ind Master was the descendant of the strong beings of the previous generations.


    "However, all of you will still need to stay here for another five hundred years before you can go to the Five Realms."


    Lin Yuan looked around and said lightly.


    With the demonic forces Lin Yuan left behind on the Five Realms, he could suppress everything.


    But if the strong beings on North Sea Ind swarmed into the Five Realms, it wouldn''t be easy to handle.


    So Lin Yuan gave everyone a five-hundred-year period.


    With this period of buffer, losing the North Sea Eye''s absorption, the resurgence of the celestial qi of the Five Realms, and the emergence of some tenth-realm experts or even eleventh-realm experts in five hundred years, were still possible.


    "Yes."


    Nn Ind Master and the other strong beings agreed without hesitation.


    They had waited for thousands of years, so five hundred years was naturally not a problem.


    "Since that''s the case."


    Lin Yuan waved his hand, and beams of light flew out,nding on the forehead of each strong being.


    These lights were refined by Lin Yuan using the breath of the North Sea,bined with his own strength.


    Once someone left the area of North Sea Ind, it would trigger the self-destruction of these lights.


    "Remember, you can only go to the Five Realms after five hundred years."


    Lin Yuan added, then disappeared in front of everyone.


    Five Realms.


    Great Xia Empire.


    For one hundred and twenty years, Nuan Shu and the other demonic lords had been governing the Five Realms methodically ording to Lin Yuan''s instructions.


    And established a vast empire.


    Named the Great ''Xia'' Empire.


    The ''Xia'' herees from the surname of Xiahou Yuan.


    Great Xia Empire.


    Imperial Pce.


    Nuan Shu rubbed her forehead, her expression showing exhaustion.


    The Great Xia Empire had no emperor, only twelve ministers of state, led by Nuan Shu, the former subordinate of the former Demon Emperor Xiahou Yuan.


    "The density of celestial qi is increasing again?"


    Nuan Shu walked to the window, muttering to herself.


    Over the years, she had also reached the ninth realm, with keen perception, naturally sensing that across the entire Five Realms, the celestial qi was slowly bing denser.


    "In the future, celestial qi will continue to increase until fifty yearster, returning to the environment of hundreds of thousands of years ago."


    Just then, a deep voice suddenly sounded.


    Startled, Nuan Shu turned around.


    When she saw the owner of the voice, her eyes immediately reddened.


    "My Lord."


    Nuan Shu immediately knelt down, her tone excited.


    "Get up."


    Lin Yuan shook his head.


    "These ten tokens contain the power I left behind."


    As Lin Yuan''s words fell, ten wooden tokens floated in front of Nuan Shu.


    "In the future, if you encounter an insurmountable situation, you can crush one of these tokens, and the power within will temporarily grant you the strength of the thirteenth realm."


    Lin Yuan said indifferently.


    This was also a back-up n left by Lin Yuan for the Great Xia Empire.


    Even if tens of thousands or millions of years passed, the power of the thirteenth realmcould still sweep away everything.


    "Yes."


    Nuan Shu hesitated for a moment, unable to help but ask, "My Lord, are you leaving us?"


    The words Lin Yuan spoke made Nuan Shu specte unfavorably. With Lin Yuan''s strength, why would he need to leave behind tokens like this unless he was leaving?


    "Where in the world is there no separation?"


    Lin Yuan shook his head, seemingly affirming.


    "Then where is My Lord going?"


    Summoning her courage, Nuan Shu asked.


    "Where am I going?"


    Lin Yuan pondered for a moment.


    "From where I came, I will return."


    Lin Yuan''s figure disappeared.


    Leaving behind Nuan Shu, still kneeling on the ground, with a bewildered expression.


    Southern Region.


    In a dense forest.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan nced around.


    He noticed in the distance, in a mountain stronghold, Xiao Huo, Shen Lang, and Yang Bixing disguised themselves as ordinary people, ying with children there.


    "The Sons of Destiny."


    Lin Yuan sighed.


    Without him, Xiao Huo, Shen Lang, and Yang Bixing should have been the most dazzling trio in the Five Realms.


    After all, these three were highly valued by the world consciousness and were the greatest power used to deal with the North Sea Eye.


    But now, it was evident that these three had been severely affected by Lin Yuan''s actions and directly hid themselves in remote mountains and forests.


    Western Region.


    In the midst of a desert.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on the sand.


    "About to leave."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts diverged.


    At this moment, there was only about half a stick of incense worth of time left before his departure.


    "Martial Dao."


    Lin Yuan sensed infinitely and faintly felt the blood and qi emitted by martial practitioners across the Five Realms.


    "If one day..."


    "The martial dao system disappears from this world."


    Lin Yuan suddenly muttered in a low voice.


    "Then, a second North Sea Eye will appear."


    With a slight movement of Lin Yuan''s mind, that hair-thin ''North Sea Eye'' appeared in front of him.


    Then he swallowed it in one gulp.


    And began to sink into the desert.


    Continuously sinking.


    Endlessly.


    At the same time.


    On the other side of the desert.


    Celestial qi gathered.


    Forming a figure.


    This figure''s eyes were pure gold, aloof and merciless.


    He nced at the location where Lin Yuan had sunk, then his figure turned into celestial qi again, disappearing from the spot.

    ...


    Main World.


    On the Cann Star, within the Central Continent Manor.


    In a daze.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes.


    "Back?"


    Consciousness returned, and Lin Yuan quickly became alert.


    "Nearly twenty days have passed."


    Lin Yuan nced at the time.


    While three hundred years had passed in the Five Realms World, only half a month had gone by in the main world.


    "The final arrangement."


    Lin Yuan stepped out of the nutrient chamber, onto the balcony, leaning against the railing, lost in thought.


    Before leaving the Five Realms World, Lin Yuan, using his own physical body, left behind a contingency n.


    That is, if one day his physical body could no longer sense the unique blood and energy fluctuations emitted by powerful martial artists on the Five Realms Earth.


    Then his body submerged beneath the boundless desert of the Western Realm would explode directly.


    In the Five Realms World, Lin Yuan''s strength before leaving was at the Eighteenth Realm.


    For a powerhouse of this level, if their body were to explode, it would likely cause the entire Western Realm continent to copse.


    It might even affect the other realms.


    Of course, for the lofty world consciousness, losing a few continents would have no impact, but before leaving, Lin Yuan also swallowed the tiny ck dot left by the Eye of the North Sea, which was only as thick as a strand of hair.


    Once his body exploded with terrifying energy, there was a high possibility that it would tear open that dot again, forming a new ''Eye of the North Sea.''


    At that time, the world consciousness would probably not be able to find another Lin Yuan.


    This was Lin Yuan''s final warning to the world consciousness.


    Keep your promise.


    Otherwise, everyone will be finished.


    As for whether the world consciousness could perceive Lin Yuan''s warning.


    After leaving the Eye of the North Sea, Lin Yuan vaguely felt a sense of scrutiny.


    It came from the world consciousness. To the Five Realms World, Lin Yuan was indeed a ''world-ending'' level threat, attracting the attention of the world consciousness wherever he went.


    Therefore.


    At the end, the few words Lin Yuan muttered to himself.


    Others couldn''t hear, but the world consciousness could definitely hear them.


    Even to make the world consciousness understand, Lin Yuan specifically took out the ck dot formed by the Eye of the North Sea, swallowing it in front of it once again.


    "This time''s transmigration."


    Lin Yuan began to examine himself.


    Organizing the gains from this transmigration.


    First was the realm of strength.


    From the Fourth Rank, Twelfth Stage, to the current Fifth Rank, Twelfth Stage.


    Crossing an entire major realm, Lin Yuan''s strength had qualitatively improved.


    Next was the insight into other evolutionary paths. Apart from the Mysterious Yellow Evolutionary Path, Lin Yuan hadprehended over a hundred evolutionary paths in the Seven-Star Cave World, including the six paths beyond the Sixth Rank.


    Lin Yuan hadprehended them all.


    Even in the MysteriousYellow Evolutionary Path, Lin Yuan had alreadyprehended the ''Fifth Rank'' section and was now contemting the ''Sixth Rank'' section.


    "This MysteriousYellow Evolutionary Path."


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    Even with his unparalleled insight, spending three hundred years contemting, he had only reached the Fifth Rank section. How could other evolversprehend it?


    Lin Yuan spected.


    Practicing the MysteriousYellow Evolutionary Path might have a peculiar condition.


    One, when evolvers adapted to practicing the MysteriousYellow Evolutionary Path, they had an unimaginable speed ofprehension whenprehending this evolutionary path.


    It''s worth noting that Lin Yuan wasn''t actually suitable for the Mysterious Yellow Evolutionary Path. Hisprehension of the MysteriousYellow Evolutionary Path waspletely forced, relying on his unparalleled insight to force his way into it.


    The second possibility was that whenprehending the MysteriousYellow Evolutionary Path, one needed to rely on some sort of auxiliary object. Lin Yuancked this auxiliary object, which is why hisprehension was so slow.


    Lin Yuan felt thetter possibility was more likely.


    Or perhaps both possibilities existed.


    After being epted as a disciple by the Star Lord of the Red Kun Star Domain, he only briefly exined a few sentences before continuing his seclusion.


    He didn''t have time to exin the origin of the MysteriousYellow Evolutionary Path and the method of cultivation to Lin Yuan in detail.


    Of course, it''s also possible that the Star Lord of the Red Kun simply never expected Lin Yuan''s progress to be so fast.


    "Never mind."


    "As long as I canprehend it."


    After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan decided not to think too much about it.


    After all, the Mysterious Yellow Evolutionary Path had indeed given him great help. The martial arts evolutionary path could be smoothly developed to the Fifth Rank Twelfth Stage, and both the MysteriousYellow Evolutionary Path and other evolutionary paths yed a significant role.


    Even the subsequent Sixth Rank, and even the Seventh Rank.


    These evolutionary paths gave Lin Yuan a lot of inspiration and direction.


    "Sixth Rank."


    Lin Yuan muttered softly.


    Since he had reached the Fifth Rank Twelfth Stage, the next consideration naturally had to be the Sixth Rank.


    For the Human Civilization Alliance of the main world, the transition from the Fifth Rank to the Sixth Rank was a watershed.


    Below the Sixth Rank, as long as there were enough conditions, evolvers could freely change their evolutionary paths.


    For example, the Lon He of the Thunderstorm Starfield had changed one evolutionary path after another by replicating his body.


    Furthermore, some cosmic treasures, once ingested, would wash away many evolutionary traces on the body, returning the body to its initial state.


    From there, one could choose to cultivate a new evolutionary path.


    But when it came to the Sixth Rank, the evolutionary path had prated into the soul. It wouldn''t be easy to change it again.


    Even if one paid a huge price to change the evolutionary path, they could only switch to a simr evolutionary path.


    For example, a Sixth Rank water-type evolver could only switch to other water-type evolutionary paths at most.


    It would be absolutely impossible to practice a fire-type evolutionary path.


    So.


    Before reaching the Sixth Rank, one must be cautious.


    Because once reaching the Sixth Rank, some aspects would be irreversible.


    "Let''s restore strength first."


    Lin Yuan had gained a rough direction for the Sixth Rank through his contemtion of many evolutionary paths, but he still needed to carefully consider how to develop the Sixth Rank section of the martial arts evolutionary path.


    Thump.


    Lin Yuan returned to his room.


    He took out the pot of ''Red Spirit Liquid.''


    This was a benefit exclusive to the Peak Master of the Red Kun lineage.


    As a disciple of the Star Lord of the Red Kun, Lin Yuan didn''t need to waste time on basic energy umtion.


    As long as the realm was reached, he could directly transform his body and soul with the ''Red Spirit Liquid.''


    Before the fourth transmigration, Lin Yuan applied for a pot of ''Red Spirit Liquid'' to prepare for the present.


    Gulp.


    Gulp.


    Lin Yuan picked up the pot of Red Spirit Liquid.


    He tilted his head back and drank it.


    When he broke through from the Fourth Rank Eleventh Stage to the Fourth Rank Twelfth Stage, Lin Yuan only dared to take a drop of Red Spirit Liquid. Even though the energy of the Red Spirit Liquid was mild and wouldn''t cause his body to explode, taking too much would still result in significant waste.


    But now.


    From the Fourth Rank to the Fifth Rank, a whole major realm, a drop of Red Spirit Liquid naturally couldn''t satisfy Lin Yuan.


    With a whoosh.


    Apanied by arge amount of Red Spirit Liquid ingested.


    Transforming into a vast gentle force, all the power was quickly absorbed by Lin Yuan.


    Body.


    Soul.


    Both were undergoing a rapid transformation.


    A day or twoter.


    Outside the main building of the manor.


    Hou Ming scrutinized the surroundings meticulously.


    As the head of the guard for the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun lineage.


    Hou Ming''s task was to ensure the safety of the Thirteenth Peak Master.


    He could even sacrifice his own life for this.


    This instinct was deeply rooted in Hou Ming''s soul.


    He was a Sixth Rank evolver secretly cultivated by the Red Kun lineage.


    There would naturally be no problems with his loyalty.


    "Hmm?"


    "What''s this?"


    Hou Ming was surveying when suddenly, a slight fluctuation came.


    Hou Ming abruptly turned around and looked towards the main building behind him.


    If it weren''t for this slight fluctuation, with the auraing from Lin Yuan, Hou Ming might have subconsciously taken action.


    Because this slight fluctuation had already reached the Fifth Rank.


    "It''s the Peak Master."


    Hou Ming''s pupils slightly contracted.


    Somewhat incredulous.


    He remembered that not long ago, Lin Yuan''s strength was only at the Fourth Rank Twelfth Stage.


    But now, he had already stepped into the Fifth Rank.


    How could this be possible?


    "Worthy of being the Star Lord''s disciple."


    Hou Ming sighed, feeling that the Star Lord of the Red Kun had a keen eye for talent.


    "We must protect the Peak Master''s safety."


    After feeling emotional, Hou Ming''s spirit was lifted again.


    After bing Lin Yuan''s head guard, Hou Ming''s loyalty was now to Lin Yuan.


    Even the Star Lord of the Red Kun could no longermand him.


    "Finally restored."


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, a smile appearing on his face.


    This time, restoring his strength was unprecedentedly smoothpared to the previous three times.


    "Regardless of exposing some of my talents, bing the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun lineage is still worth it."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    If he didn''t have the identity of the Thirteenth Peak Master, he would probably still be deliberating over which cosmic treasure to purchase.


    In addition, many evolutionary paths also required money to purchase.


    "There''s still one-tenth left."


    Lin Yuan nced at the Red Spirit Liquid in front of him.


    Then he put it away.


    Save it for next time.


    "Fifth Rank Twelfth Stage."


    "I can now organize the ''Fifth Rank'' section of the martial arts evolutionary path."


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, pondering.


    Now that Lin Yuan had basicallypleted the Fifth Rank stage, the next step was to figure out how to enter the Sixth Rank.


    "Fifth Rank section."


    Lin Yuan thought.


    The martial arts evolutionary path''s Second Rank section was the fusion of Yin and Yang, known as the Tao of Tai Chi.


    The Third Rank section was theprehension of various rules.


    The Fourth Rank section was a furtherprehension of the rules, making the Tao of Tai Chi more perfect.


    As for the Fifth Rank section.


    It was the primordial spirit.


    The Yin primordial spirit, the Yang primordial spirit.


    And the Tai Chi primordial spirit formed by the fusion of both.


    Of course.


    To reduce the difficulty of the martial arts cultivation path.


    Lin Yuan divided the primordial spirit of the Fifth Rank into three levels.


    Yin primordial spirit.


    Yang primordial spirit.


    And the final Tai Chi primordial spirit.


    For subsequent evolvers, there was no need to cultivate the Tai Chi primordial spirit.


    Just cultivating either the Yang or Yin primordial spirit was enough.


    This was simr to the Third Rank''s Yin-Yang Realm.


    In the Dragon-Tiger World, the celestial masters all cultivated the Yin-Yang Boundless or the Yang-Yin Boundless.


    As for the Tai Chi, it was only Lin Yuan who had cultivated it.


    So Lin Yuan also divided the Third Rank of the martial arts evolutionary path into three levels.


    Yin Rank.


    Yang Rank.


    And Tai Chi Rank.


    These three levels were on par, and practitioners could choose based on their own talents.


    "The martial arts cultivation system, after the Fifth Rank, the primordial spirit can leave the body and act alone, which is simr to some special talents of ''doppelgangers'' in the depths of the universe."


    Lin Yuan suddenly thought to himself.


    The talent of ''doppelgangers'' was a means possessed by a small number of special races in the depths of the universe.


    It could split off a body, simr to an external incarnation.


    And after Lin Yuan cultivated to the Fifth Rank, the primordial spirit he condensed was simr to a doppelganger.


    Although it didn''t have flesh and blood, the power wielded by the primordial spirit alone was not much weaker than the body''s.


    Even in some aspects, it was stronger than the body.


    For example, speed. Without the limitations of the physical body, the speed of the primordial spirit was unimaginably fast.


    There was also size.


    The primordial spirit was condensed from soul power.


    In theory, it could be infinitelyrge.


    With Lin Yuan''s current strength of the primordial spirit, with full effort, he could transform into a giant millions of zhang tall.


    "I have more than one primordial spirit. Both the Yin and Yang spirits can act independently, equivalent to two doppelgangers."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Like the talent of ''doppelgangers'', if a doppelganger perishes.


    To give birth to another, a huge price must be paid.


    And even for some talents of ''doppelgangers'', once they die, they''re gone.


    But as long as Lin Yuan''s primordial spirit, the Yin spirit, and the Yang spirit don''t perish simultaneously.


    He could quickly evolve another two.


    The Tao of Tai Chi, the fusion of Yin and Yang, where extreme Yin is Yang, and extreme Yang is Yin, Yin and Yang can naturally transform each other.


    Even if the Yang spirit is destroyed, as long as the Yin spirit is still there, it can quickly differentiate into the Yang spirit.


    Several dayster.


    Lin Yuan had almost finished organizing the Fifth Rank section.


    "Goddess of Wisdom."


    Lin Yuan connected to the Goddess of Wisdom, intending to upload the Fifth Rank section.


    Since realizing the importance of ''spreading the path,'' Lin Yuan naturally wouldn''t withhold anything.


    Besides, with the difficulty of practicing the Fifth Rank section, even if other evolvers had extraordinary talents, at most they could only cultivate either a Yin spirit or a Yang spirit.


    As for achieving a Tai Chi primordial spirit like Lin Yuan, that would take thousands or even tens of thousands of years.


    Moreover, after transmigrating through the Five Realms, Lin Yuan vaguely realized


    As long as he, as a founder, was still alive, other evolvers practicing martial arts evolutionary paths would naturally be suppressed by him.


    Just like Xiahou Yuan''s suppression of the demonic path in the world.


    Of course, at the beginning, Lin Yuan''s suppression of other martial arts practitioners wasn''t very obvious.


    But with the improvement of his strength, this suppression would gradually increase.


    Virtual world.


    Inside a spacious pce.


    An old man dressed in a crimson robe suddenly opened his eyes.


    At this moment, his eyes, like burning stars, were no longer emitting light and heat, indicating that he could barely control them.


    "I finally mastered this secret technique."


    The Star Lord of the Red Kun closed his eyes, and when he reopened them, the star-like pupils had disappeared.


    For the sake of practicing this secret technique, the Star Lord of the Red Kun paid a huge price, even acquiring dozens of star cores, and finally refining them into his eyes.


    "My good disciple must be eager to see me now."


    Just as the Star Lord of the Red Kun had just mastered the technique, he thought of his newly acquired thirteenth disciple.


    There was no way around it. During the practice of the secret technique, most of his attention was focused on his eyes, and he couldn''t suppress the power of the star core at all. So after hastily epting Lin Yuan, he continued to seclude himself.


    "My good disciple."


    "Come see me."


    The Star Lord of the Red Kun connected to the virtual world with his consciousness, confirmed that Lin Yuan was not in seclusion but in an ''online'' state, and immediately sent an invitation.


    Cann Star, Central Maind Manor.


    Lin Yuan had just finished uploading the ''Fifth Rank'' section of the martial arts evolutionary path.


    Then he received a request from the Star Lord of the Red Kun.


    "My good disciple,e see me."


    The ''voice'' sent by the Star Lord of the Red Kun rang in Lin Yuan''s ears.


    "Teacher hase out of seclusion."


    Lin Yuan immediately got up and also connected to the virtual world with his consciousness, arriving in a vast pce.


    Everything here was fiery red.


    "Greetings, teacher."


    Lin Yuan slightly bowed towards the Star Lord sitting on the throne.


    "Well, rise."


    The Star Lord of the Red Kun carefully examined Lin Yuan.


    Suddenly, his expression changed slightly.


    Although Lin Yuan didn''t ''synchronize'' his actual strength in the virtual world.


    That is to say, Lin Yuan''s physical body and soul were still at the peak of the Fourth Rank.


    But with the discerning eyes of the Star Lord of the Red Kun, after a few more nces, he vaguely sensed that Lin Yuan''s mental power was already surpassing the Fourth Rank.


    "My good disciple, have you reached the Fifth Rank?"


    After a moment of silence, the Star Lord of the Red Kun couldn''t help but ask.

    ...


    "Several days ago, I luckily stepped into the fifth rank," Lin Yuan admitted, acknowledging the vastness and diversity of human civilization, where countless geniuses abound.


    Crossing a major realm in just one or two years might be considered rare for a particr star domain or a few star domains.


    However, in the grand scope of human civilization as a whole, it might not be as remarkable.


    Not to mention, when the Red Kun Star Lord seized control of the Star-Sea Kun in the Star Sea many years ago, his meteoric rise to power became legendary across most of human civilization''s territory.


    Therefore, as long as Lin Yuan remained a member of the human race and did not reveal the ''Gate to the Myriad Realms'' hidden deep in his mind, any outstanding talent he disyed would only be cherished and protected even more by the Red Kun Star Lord and the Goddess of Wisdom.


    Over the course of two million years in the Star Sea, the Human Civilization Alliance has swept across the universe, pushing back various alien races.


    Apart from a few top-tier powerhouses, what''s more important is the protection mechanism for talents.


    Without this mechanism continuously providing fresh blood, it would be impossible for human civilization to exert its current dominance over numerous alien races.


    "Is it really the fifth rank?" The Red Kun Star Lord fell silent, momentarily thinking he might have been mistaken. However, upon hearing Lin Yuan''s admission, he immediately realized that his new disciple''s talent surpassed his expectations.


    Whileprehending the Yellow Evolution Path might simply indicate suitability for practicing that particr path, the potential heights that Lin Yuan could reach in the future remained unknown.


    Nheless, judging from Lin Yuan''s current performance, his future potential was unquestionable.


    "Let me think about it," the Red Kun Star Lord said cautiously. He was well aware that the more of a genius someone was, the less interference and guidance they required.


    Given his stature, if it were an ordinary evolver, he could directly provide guidance and even personally n their future path. However, with a top-tier genius evolver like Lin Yuan, the Red Kun Star Lord had to tread carefully.


    After all, he couldn''t be sure if the path he had nned for this top-tier genius evolver was truly suitable. Geniuses often forge their own paths, and any attempt to forcefully intervene would only suppress their potential.


    "I never expected that I, Red Kun, would one day be troubled by such matters," the Red Kun Star Lord sighed inwardly. His twelve previous disciples had not disyed talents as exceptional as Lin Yuan''s, so he had instructed them with rtive ease.


    "You can go back for now. I''ll think it over," the Red Kun Star Lord instructed after observing Lin Yuan for a while and exchanging a few words with him. Once Lin Yuan left, the vast crimson pce was once again empty, with only the Red Kun Star Lord remaining.


    "How should I nurture him?" the Red Kun Star Lord furrowed his brow in deep thought.


    "Xiao Hong," the Red Kun Star Lord suddenly spoke.


    "Master, Xiao Hong is here," a mechanical voice sounded, indicating the presence of the Red Kun Star Lord''s intelligent assistant, Xiao Hong.


    "Eighty thousand years ago, the crystallization of rules I collected should still be around, right?" the Red Kun Star Lord inquired.


    "It''s here, Master," Xiao Hong promptly responded.


    "Deliver that rule crystal to my disciple," the Red Kun Star Lord instructed after a moment of contemtion.


    "But, Master, that''s a rule crystal," Xiao Hong hesitated slightly. Having apanied the Red Kun Star Lord for countless years and evolved into an intelligent being, it possessed its own thoughts and emotions.


    "Understood," seeing the Red Kun Star Lord remain silent, Xiao Hong could onlyply.


    On the Cann Star, at the Central Maind Manor, Lin Yuan severed his connection to the virtual world.


    "I wonder what the teacher wants from me"


    Lin Yuan wondered, specting that his advancement to the fifth rank might have disrupted some of the Red Kun Star Lord''s ns. However, Lin Yuan had no choice. In the presence of powerhouses like the Red Kun Star Lord, he couldn''t hide his true strength.


    Even though Lin Yuan hadn''t synchronized his true strength in the virtual world this time, the Red Kun Star Lord still managed to discern his real power.


    "Mental power," Lin Yuan thought inwardly. Mental power was the most fundamental power of an evolver, and it was precisely the surpassing of the fourth rank in mental power that led the Red Kun Star Lord to conclude that Lin Yuan had entered the fifth rank.


    As Lin Yuan pondered, the solemn and cool voice of the Goddess of Wisdom resounded.


    "Respected fifth-level citizen Lin Yuan, after final assessment, the value of the fifth-tier manuscript you uploaded is two hundred thousand merit points."


    "Two hundred thousand merit points," a smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face. It''s worth noting that this was not the value of the martial path evolution but solely the value of the fifth-tier manuscript.


    "The likelihood of the martial path evolution advancing to the sixth rank is ny-five percent," Lin Yuan immediately nced at the updated information on the martial path evolution.


    With the upload of the fifth-tier manuscript, the Goddess of Wisdom would certainly reassess various aspects of the martial path evolution and arrive at updated conclusions.


    "Hmm, the likelihood of advancing to the sixth rank isn''t a hundred percent?" Lin Yuan felt a bit regretful.


    Little did he know that among the countless evolution paths recorded by the Human Civilization Alliance, there was hardly any path below the sixth rank that could guarantee advancement to the sixth rank.


    Most fifth-tier evolution paths only had a thirty to forty percent chance of advancing to the sixth rank, making anything over fifty percent quite rare.


    Now, with the likelihood of advancing to the sixth rank reaching ny-five percent, it was undoubtedly one of the top-tier paths among the many fifth-tier evolution paths.


    "The likelihood of advancing to the seventh rank has increased by ten percent, with an additional chance of advancing to the eighth rank," Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    It could be seen that Lin Yuan''s upload of the fifth-tier manuscript had brought about a qualitative change to the martial path evolution.


    In fact, this could have been foreseen, considering that the condensation of the soul in the fifth-tier manuscript was an extremely rare technique.


    Although Lin Yuan estimated that most future evolvers would only be able to condense one soul, this was analogous to the talent of "splitting."


    "Continuously improving its ranking? That''s probably not achievable in the short term," a third-level citizen couldn''t help but remark.


    Even if it''s an Evolver University researcher, it''s not possible to casually create a pathway with potential reaching the seventh or eighth rank. The establishment of a pathway requires careful consideration, and ultimately, it must receive confirmation and recognition from the three goddesses.


    "I agree."


    "The creator of the martial path evolution pathway, ''Yuan,'' is undoubtedly knowledgeable, but the evolution list of the Red Kun Star Domain isn''t something anyone can make it onto. Hasn''t that pathway been tested over time?"


    Another evolver spoke up, pointing to the towering Red Kun Evolution List, finally stopping at the martial path evolution pathway at the very end.


    "I bet it won''t change its ranking for at least three years."


    Before this evolver could finish speaking, it was time for the daily update of the Red Kun Evolution List.


    After a few breaths, the names of all the pathways on the list began to blur.


    Several momentster, all the pathway names became clear again.


    "Huh?"


    The evolver who had stood up suddenly noticed that the pathway he had pointed to was no longer the martial path evolution pathway.


    "Oh my."


    This evolver immediately sensed that something was wrong and looked up.


    Finally, at the fifty-third position, he found the martial path evolution pathway.


    Meanwhile, in the central za area, many evolvers and higher-level citizens were once again stirred into amotion.


    The martial path evolution pathway had jumped dozens of ces, soaring from the top one hundred to the fifty-third position,pletely shattering their expectations.


    This wasn''t like the evolution lists of others; this was the Red Kun Star Domain''s evolution list, which included all the evolution pathways of over a million life-bearings in the entire star domain.


    The pathways that made it onto the Red Kun Evolution List had all endured numerous tests. Even moving up by one or two ces was extremely difficult and required a significant breakthrough somewhere.


    "The fifth-tier manuscript?"


    "The martial path evolution pathway has updated its fifth-tier manuscript."


    "This must be the one that caused the sudden rise in the ranking of the martial path evolution pathway."


    "Quick, buy it for research."


    "I want to see what exactly it is that allowed the martial path to surpass dozens of sixth-tier evolution pathways."


    In the central za area, many evolvers immediately began purchasing the fifth-tier manuscript of the martial path evolution pathway.


    In a vast star domain near the eastern edge of the cosmic human territory, there was a colossal.


    This was incredibly massive, surpassing even higher-level life-bearings, and was home to numerous research institutes.


    At the highest point of one of these institutes, an old man dressed in a white research gown was gazing at a holoscreen in front of him.


    Endless data floated on the holoscreen, with various forms and conclusions shing by.


    "Almost done."


    The old man closed his eyes, intending to take a break.


    He connected his consciousness to the virtual world and entered the "forum" of the Founders'' World.


    "My post from back then has received a reply?" The old man looked somewhat surprised. Twenty-three thousand years ago, he had left a question on the Founder''s Forum.


    Is it better toprehend one rule deeply or toprehend multiple rules?


    Over the years, many people had given their opinions on this question under his post.


    But none of those replies had satisfied the old man.


    "Let''s see."


    The old man immediately began to delve into the replies under his post.


    Since he had some free time, he thought it wouldn''t hurt to review the problem he had faced in the past; it might even be enlightening.


    "Of course, it''s better toprehend one rule deeply. There are so many rules in the world; even those who sit atop the Evolution Tower can''tprehend them all, can they?"


    "Comprehending only one rule will inevitably have limitations. If possible, it''s natural toprehend multiple rules."


    The old man shook his head repeatedly as he perused the replies from recent years, clearly dissatisfied with all the responses.


    Until he came across thest reply.


    This reply was the most recent, just over a month ago.


    "Comprehend a certain rule, then use this path to control all paths."


    The old man was slightly stunned, his face showing a look of astonishment.

    ...


    "Controlling myriad paths with a single way?"


    In the old man''s eyes, arge amount of data quickly shed by, evidently contemting the feasibility of this method.


    In fact, it''s good toprehend a rule.


    Or is it better toprehend multiple rules?


    As early as twenty thousand years ago, there was an almost standard answer to this.


    That is to look at oneself.


    If you are naturally close to multiple rules, then naturally it is better toprehend multiple rules.


    If you are only highly inclined towards a certain rule, then naturally it is better to prioritizeprehending that rule.


    However, now.


    Thistest reply.


    It gave the old man another direction.


    "No."


    "To control myriad paths with a single way, first, this ''single way'' here must have overwhelming suppression over the ''myriad paths''."


    "If it''s only at the same level of ''way'', why control myriad paths with a single way?"


    The old man deduced for half a day, but fell into a dead end.


    "But this method, indeed, has the possibility."


    The old man''s eyes sparkled, ignoring the continuously appearing data on the nearby light screen.


    "No, I have to have a good chat with this young friend."


    The old man immediately clicked on the profile picture of the person who gave this reply, wanting to directly obtain the contact information.


    "Not enough permissions?"


    The old man blinked.


    "I''m at least an eighth-level citizen, how can I not have enough permissions?" The old man scoffed.


    "Let''s see if it''s possible."


    The old man''s eyes shed with data again.


    But the next moment.


    A solemn and cold voice came.


    "Schr of Tai''a University, your actions vite Article 13 of the Human Alliance Charter. If you continue, you will be subject to corresponding punishment."


    "Hehe, Goddess of Wisdom. I just want to test whether there are any loopholes in the information blockade set by you three goddesses. There''s absolutely no intention of viting the charter."


    The flow of data in the old man''s eyes immediately stopped, exining with a smile.


    "Schr of Tai''a, if there are loopholes, there will be corresponding solutions, which have nothing to do with you." The tone of the Goddess of Wisdom remained unchanged.


    "Alright then."


    The old man sat back down.


    "Oh, Goddess of Wisdom."


    "Why does the citizen who gave this reply have such a level of information blockade, that even I can''t check their information?"


    The old man paused for a moment, then immediately asked tentatively.


    You should know, the old man is an eighth-level citizen, and also a rare evolutionary schr. His status ranks in the top three among dozens of star domains nearby.


    "Schr of Tai''a, you do not have sufficient permissions to know about this."


    The Goddess of Wisdom replied lightly.


    "Oh."


    The schr of Tai''a fell into contemtion.


    Could it be that the other party is also a schr, and the kind of schr who researches top-secret results? Otherwise, he wouldn''t be unable to see any information at all.


    "Never mind."


    "Let''s be honest."


    After thinking for a while, the schr of Tai''a realized that there was no possibility of outwitting, so beneath the reply of ''controlling myriad paths with a single way,'' he left his own question.


    As long as the person who gave this replyes online and enters the founder''s world, they will see it.


    Cann Star.


    Central Land Manor.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    Many pieces of information about the evolution of martial arts pathways appeared on the light screen in front of him.


    "First Rank: Thirty-six thousand seven hundred and eighty-three people."


    "Second Rank: Four hundred and ny-four people."


    "Third Rank: Zero."


    Lin Yuan observed the number of evolvers at each stage of the martial arts evolution pathway.


    In the Cosmic Human Alliance, evolvers need to purchase the evolutionary pathways under their real names, and after bing an evolver, they must go to the Evolver Association to register.


    After any breakthroughs, they also need to go to the Evolver Association to ''update'' their own rank information.


    By this means, the official unified data of human civilization naturally can obtain the number of evolvers at each rank.


    Of course, there may be errors in this process, such as an evolver breaking through to the Second Rank but forgetting to update their rank information due to some reasons.


    However, such cases are rtively rare and fall within the normal range of errors.


    "There hasn''t been anyone who has cultivated to the Third Rank until now?"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The Third Rank of the martial arts evolution pathway already involves a rudimentaryprehension of the rules.


    When Lin Yuan first opened this rank, he was in the realm of Divine Weapons, with many divine weapons for reference, plus the Unrivaled Insight.


    But for other evolvers in the main world, they obviously do not have the same treatment as Lin Yuan.


    Therefore, even with aplete guide like the martial arts evolution pathway opened by Lin Yuan, it is not an easy task for other evolvers to enter the Third Rank.


    "I should make an exnatory video when I have time."


    Lin Yuan silently thought.


    Since spreading his own evolutionary pathways benefits the future ultimate leap, Lin Yuan naturally wants to find ways to reduce the difficulty for other evolvers to cultivate the martial arts evolution pathways.


    "This move achieves two objectives at once.


    Not only can it increase the number of practitioners in the martial arts evolution pathway, but it can also create more ie for oneself. With dedicated exnatory videos, other observing practitioners may gain insights and subsequently venture into the martial arts domain.


    "Over a hundred more people have purchased the Fifth Rank."


    Lin Yuan nced at the sales figures of the martial arts evolution pathway and found that the number behind the Fifth Rank was one hundred and twenty-six, indicating that one hundred and twenty-six people had purchased the Fifth Rank.


    When Lin Yuan uploaded the Fifth Rank, he set the price at five hundred million.


    First Rank: Ten thousand.


    Second Rank: Five hundred thousand.


    Third Rank: Five million.


    Fourth Rank: Fifty million.


    Fifth Rank: Five hundred million.


    Selling over a hundred copies of the Fifth Rank is equivalent to selling over fifty billion.


    Even after the thirty-seventy split and deducting rted taxes and fees, Lin Yuan would still receive over a ten billion.


    And it''s only been a few days since it was uploaded. With time, there will be more buyers.


    Even many evolvers, even if they don''t practice, will buy it to study, after all, the martial arts evolution pathway is currently ranked fifty-three on the Red Kun Evolution Ranking.


    In terms of reputation, the martial arts evolution pathway is even bigger, as achieving dozens of breakthroughs in a short period can arouse more curiosity among other practitioners.


    In the evening, Lin Yuan finished his practice.


    He came out of the main building, ready to have dinner with his parents and sister.


    Since Lin Yuan spends most of his time practicing, even though his family lives in the same manor, they don''t see each other often.


    So Lin Yuanes out for a meal every once in a while.


    "Brother, I''m now a Rank-Entering Evolver," Sister Lin Yi boasted while eating.


    In fact, it''s quite normal for Lin Yi to be a Rank-Entering Evolver so quickly.


    When Lin Yuan entered the Fourth Rank, he performed a bone marrow cleansing for Lin Yi.


    With Lin Yuan''s strength, Lin Yi''s physical foundation wasid down after the bone marrow cleansing.


    So no matter which evolution pathway she chooses, it''s easy, as the foundation is there.


    Of course, this kind of ease is only reflected in the first and at most the second rank. When ites to the tenth or eleventh stage of the second rank, it''s all up to oneself.


    "Little Yuan, you''re not young anymore. Even if your main focus is on the evolutionary path, you should consider having a child," Mother LinQiong couldn''t help but say.


    Now, because of Lin Yuan, the Lin family has gone from an inconspicuous family in Dongning City to one of the top families on Cann Star.


    Mother LinQiong asionally connects to the virtual world. She doesn''t know how many big families and forces on Cann Star want to introduce their jewel in the palm to Lin Yuan.


    "This matter isn''t urgent; we''ll talk about itter," Lin Yuan said casually.


    Powerful practitioners in the main world have different attitudes towards offspring.


    Many practitioners who focus on the evolutionary path feel that offspring are superfluous, and Lin Yuan holds a simr view.


    No matter where or when, one''s own strength is always the foundation of everything.


    As for offspring, they''re just a matter of quantity umtion.


    As long as Lin Yuan is here, even if there''s only one person, he''ll still be the top family aristocrat.


    If one day Lin Yuan is gone, even if there are many offspring and descendants, it won''t matter.


    It''s just scattering when the tree falls.


    While the family was chatting,


    "Master, someone is here to visit."


    The voice of the AI assistant sounded in his ear.


    "Who?" Lin Yuan asked.


    "Cann Star Governor Song Wuyang."


    In the living room of the main building, Lin Yuan and Song Wuyang sat facing each other.


    "Indeed, you are the extraordinary genius that our Cann Star has produced in tens of thousands of years" Song Wuyang expressed his satisfaction with Lin Yuan.


    At the recent arena match, Lin Yuan dominated the scene with his Fourth Rank strength.


    It''s worth noting that the birth of a Fourth Rank evolver under a hundred years old on Cann Star has greatly boosted Song Wuyang''s political achievements as a governor.


    "It''s just luck," Lin Yuan shook his head.


    "Luck?"


    "For tens of thousands of years on Cann Star, was Mr. Lin the only lucky one?" Song Wuyang joked.


    "However, regarding the matter of the Red Kun Star''s main examination, Mr. Lin need not worry," Song Wuyang reassured.


    Lin Yuan''s failure to pass the Seven-Star Cave examination is not a secret.


    Although Lin Yuan is a Fourth Rank evolver, at that time, there were tens of thousands of Fourth Rank evolvers participating in the Seven-Star Cave examination, and only a few passed in the end.


    The Seven-Star Cave examination opened by the Lord of Red Kun Star Domain is aimed at testing various aspects of the examinee, and strength is just one aspect, and it''s not the most important.


    "It''s a pity," Lin Yuan shook his head slightly, revealing a hint of regret.


    In the arena match, Lin Yuan only disyed Fourth Rank strength, and the Lord of Red Kun Star Domain determined that Lin Yuan had begun toprehend the rules only by relying on his own vision, plus watching the ''source video'' transmitted by the Goddess of Wisdom.


    And ultimately became a Golden Mark examinee.


    As for others? Even if they are at the same level as the Lord of Red Kun Star Domain, if they don''t have the ''source video'', they still can''t confirm Lin Yuan''s true strength.


    They just think Lin Yuan is an ordinary Fourth Rank.


    And such a Fourth Rank, among the evolvers who participated in the Seven-Star Cave examination, there are tens of thousands of them.


    As a result, Lin Yuan''s failure to pass the Seven-Star Cave examination is seen as a normal thing by outsiders.


    Very inconspicuous.


    "Governor Song came here this time for..."


    After exchanging pleasantries for a moment, Lin Yuan took the initiative to ask.


    "There''s something I need to trouble Mr. Lin with," Song Wuyang paused for a moment, probing, "Mr. Lin is our Cann Star''s youngest Fourth Rank evolver. We intend to invite Mr. Lin to be an honorary professor at our Cann Evolutionary Academy."


    "Don''t worry, it''s just an honorary professorship. Apart from appearing in the first few sses, Mr. Lin cane and go as he pleases," Song Wuyang reassured, carefully observing Lin Yuan''s reaction.


    The Cann Evolutionary Academy is the highest-level evolutionary institution on Cann Star, gathering the most promising young generation of the.


    Since they are the young generation, naturally, they are not very old. Lin Yuan, as a Fourth Rank evolver under a hundred years old, has a significant influence among the young people.


    If Lin Yuan can be an honorary professor at the Cann Evolutionary Academy, it will definitely be a great motivation for those students. After all, when their idol is in school, which student wouldn''t be inspired to study and practice harder?


    "No problem," Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and agreed.


    Mainly because this honorary professorship is really free. It has no binding force on him, and even if he gives lectures to students, it''s in the virtual world without even leaving the manor. In addition, he can receive a monthly sry of one hundred thousand civilization coins.


    Of course, with Lin Yuan''s current wealth, he doesn''t care about this amount of money.


    But asionally giving guidance to other evolvers is also a kind of self-reflection for Lin Yuan. Under his extraordinaryprehension, there may be unexpected gains.


    "In that case," Song Wuyang said relieved, "It''s settled."


    Beforeing, he was really afraid that Lin Yuan would refuse.


    Since he agreed to be an honorary professor at the Cann Evolutionary Academy, Lin Yuan also felt a little embarrassed to not show up.


    In the virtual world, the principal of the Cann Advanced Evolutionary Academy and several professors and experts personally received Lin Yuan.


    "Professor Lin is talented and promising. We old folks really feel ashamed," Professor Chu said with a smile. He is the oldest professor among them, not only a professor but also a vice principal.


    "I never thought I would see such a talented evolver in my lifetime," Professor Lu couldn''t help but say, looking at Lin Yuan.


    After chatting for a while, the topic naturally shifted to evolutionary pathways. After all, everyone is either an expert or a professor, and they usually deal with knowledge in the field of evolution, so it''s easy to have topics.


    And once the topic of evolutionary pathways was brought up, the recently popr martial arts evolutionary pathway couldn''t be ignored.


    Even on the main star of the Red Kun Star domain, the martial arts evolutionary pathway has caused a great sensation, and naturally, the heat is even higher on Cann Star, the original of the martial arts evolutionary pathway.


    Most of the professors and experts present have purchased the first three ranks of the martial arts evolutionary pathway for research purposes.


    After chatting for a while, Professor Chu saw Lin Yuan sitting there without saying a word.


    In order not to make Lin Yuan feel isted, Professor Chu took the initiative to say, "Professor Lin, I don''t know what you think of the martial arts evolutionary pathway?"


    As soon as these words came out, everyone quieted down, looking at Lin Yuan expectantly. They also wanted to hear the opinions of the most talented evolver in the history of Cann Star.


    "What do I think of the martial arts evolutionary pathway?" Lin Yuan''s expression became a bit strange.


    If it were any other question, he might not be able to answer it.


    But there''s naturally no problem with the martial arts evolutionary pathway.


    "The martial arts evolutionary pathway is based on Qi and blood," Lin Yuan roughly exined his views, but only limited to the first and second ranks.


    It''s difficult to exin the higher ranks just by talking.


    The professors and experts around listened attentively, nodding from time to time.


    After Lin Yuan finished speaking, everyone began to discuss quietly.


    A momentter.


    Professor Lu talked with a few other professors nearby and said, "Professor Lin, your understanding is good, but it''s somewhat one-sided and cannot reflect the true profundity of the martial arts evolutionary pathway."


    "My understanding of the martial arts evolutionary pathway is somewhat one-sided?" Lin Yuan fell into contemtion.

    Chapter 132


    Help me buy a newputer :D /DavidLord


    ...


    Watching Professor Lu with shining eyes, Lin Yuan couldn''t help but feel a hint of peculiarity.


    If one were topare their understanding of the path of martial arts evolution, not to mention Professor Lu in front of him, even those evolution schrs of human civilization would hardly surpass Lin Yuan.


    Because the path of martial arts evolution was fundamentally pioneered and established by Lin Yuan himself. How could otherspare?


    It was like if all the questions were set by Lin Yuan, and the answers were solely at his discretion. Would outsiders dare to set questions?


    Of course, the identity of the founder of the evolution path was too crucial, especially for the current hot topic of the martial arts evolution path.


    Naturally, Lin Yuan would not admit his identity here.


    You see, currently, most evolvers and high-level citizens in the Red Kun Star Domain all unanimously believe that the martial arts evolution path is an experiment of a certain lofty evolution schr.


    Who are the evolution schrs? They are the absolute upper echelons of human civilization, whether in terms of their own strength or their contributions to human civilization, they are beyond dispute.


    Those non-human races outside of human civilization are extremely eager to assassinate an evolution schr.


    An evolution schr may have never even set foot on a border battlefield, but their influence on the border battlefield is profound. They research evolutionary paths, various secret techniques, and even technological achievements.


    They can even decide the oue of localized wars.


    Unfortunately, both the non-human races and the human race are aware of the importance of evolution schrs, and every evolution schr is fiercely protected.


    Moreover, evolution schrs are by no means weak; they have their own means of self-preservation.


    Non-human races, let alone assassinating evolution schrs, can''t even determine the position of an evolution schr.


    If Lin Yuan were to expose himself as the founder of the martial arts evolution path, the non-human races would undoubtedlyunch a relentless assassination attempt.


    Even if it meant paying the price of several Rank6 infiltrators sneaking into human territory, they would still fervently assassinate Lin Yuan.


    Why is the martial arts evolution path considered an experiment of the evolution schrs?


    Why haven''t other evolutionary paths been subjected to such spection?


    Isn''t it because of the exceptionally high potential of the martial arts evolution path that leaves people astonished?


    Ordinary founders of evolutionary paths simply cannot establish such high-level evolutionary paths.


    Only evolution schrs, with their vast knowledge and insight spanning ancient and modern times, can create such potent evolutionary paths.


    If the non-human races knew that the martial arts evolution path was created by an evolver who wasn''t even Rank6, how could they possibly allow Lin Yuan to continue to grow?


    The martial arts evolution path has the potential to evolve into an eighth-Rankevolutionary path. Lin Yuan has a tiny chance of bing the next evolution schr of human civilization.


    Even if assassinating Lin Yuan incurred a huge cost, it would still be much lighter than the billions of powerful beings from various races falling in future interster battles due to Lin Yuan''s research and inventions.


    Lin Yuan collected his thoughts.


    He listened to Professor Lu''s "insights."


    "I think the path of martial arts evolution is not purely based on Qi and blood but integrates many other elements such as spiritual power, soul power, and mental power," Professor Lu expounded.


    The principal of the Cann Evolutionary Academy nodded slightly, finding Professor Lu''s words reasonable.


    Of course, this doesn''t mean that what Lin Yuan saidcks merit.


    Everyone has their own views and interpretations when ites to studying the path of martial arts evolution.


    This is normal.


    Lin Yuan''s evolutionary talent is indeed one of the best among the Cann Star.


    He reached the Fourth Rankbefore the age of a hundred.


    But precisely because of this, most of Lin Yuan''s time was spent on cultivation.


    On the other hand, although Professor Lu''s evolutionary talent was not as good as Lin Yuan''s, he had been researching since the martial arts evolution path entered the Cann Evolutionary Ranking a few years ago.


    It was only natural for him to have a deep understanding of the martial arts evolution path.


    "Alright."


    "Professors Lu and Lin, both of your points are valid."


    "Although everyone has different views, we are all working for the betterment of human civilization. Lin Yuan, you shouldn''t mind Professor Lu''s questioning. He''s just like that sometimes, even daring to argue with the principal."


    Professor Chu chuckled, smoothing things over.


    "It''s okay."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    He didn''t mind Professor Lu''s questioning just now.


    Mainly because Lin Yuan didn''t care too much; every word Professor Lu said was praising the path of martial arts evolution, and praising the path of martial arts evolution was essentially praising Lin Yuan, its founder.


    "That''s good."


    Professor Chu nodded with satisfaction.


    He returned to his personal space in the virtual world.


    Lin Yuan pondered. His conversation with those professors just now, especially discussing their understanding of the martial arts evolution path, gave him more insights and feelings.


    Cultivation and learning were never isted activities; asionally, one had to interact with the outside world.


    Unrivaled Insight was based on the height Lin Yuan stood at and the profound enlightenment he pursued.


    The more Lin Yuan knew, the broader his vision, the greater the effect of Unrivaled Insight.


    After examining himself, Lin Yuan noticed a small red dot under the founder''s virtual world column.


    "Someone is contacting me?"


    Lin Yuan immediately understood the meaning of this red dot.


    During the fourth transmigration, in order to avoid disturbance, Lin Yuan directly closed any means of contact with him.


    Naturally, the "message prompt" in the founder''s world was also included.


    "Who would contact me?"


    Lin Yuan was curious. When he first entered the founder''s world, he didn''t know anyone, let alone have any friends.


    Soon.


    Lin Yuan entered the founder''s virtual world.


    "Is it the owner of that ''post''?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression became slightly solemn.


    The question of this ''post'' is:


    Is it better toprehend a single rule well, or toprehend multiple rules?


    At the time, Lin Yuan gave an answer based on his own perspective, and he didn''t expect to receive a response from the owner of the post.


    After all, the post was made twenty-three thousand years ago.


    The owner of the post might have long since passed away.


    "How to master myriad paths with one rule? Is it the Time Dao or the Space Dao?"


    Lin Yuan looked at the reply from the owner of the post and fell into contemtion.


    He used his own understanding of the Tao of Tai Chi to control myriad paths. As for the Time Dao and Space Dao, they were too distant for Lin Yuan.


    Whether it was the rules of time or space, they were both among the supreme rules, onlyprehensible by beings surpassing Rank 6.


    Lin Yuan, being only at Rank5, even with his Unrivaled Insight, couldn''t possibly sense anything about time or space.


    "By using the rules one has mastered as the framework, and incorporating other rules as the flesh, one can naturally master myriad paths with one rule."


    After pondering for a while, Lin Yuan expressed his own insight.


    In the endless distance, on a vast research.


    The Tai-A Schr was yawning; now that his research had reached a conclusion, the next few decades would be leisurely for him.


    "Hmm?"


    "A reply?"


    The Tai-A Schr immediately became alert.


    In order to be notified of any replies to his questions as soon as possible, the Tai-A Schr had designated the founder''s world as ''special interest.''


    As soon as there was any news, he would receive it immediately.


    "A framework? Flesh? Too vague."


    The Tai-A Schr furrowed his brows slightly and continued to ask, "How exactly does one construct the framework of their own rules?"


    In a manor on the Cann Star.


    Lin Yuan had just replied when he received a new question.


    "Is this person just squatting here?"


    Lin Yuan carefully read it and replied cautiously, "Bybining the power of Yin and Yang to form a stable microcosm, amodating myriad paths."


    "Is he nning to ''open a realm''?"


    The Tai-A Schr marveled, conversing briefly with Lin Yuan.


    The Tai-A Schr concluded that Lin Yuan was probably not another schr.


    To be an evolution schr, one needed to create and establish a stable Eighth-Rank evolutionary path at least. This meant that evolution schrs were at least Rank8 evolvers.


    And while Lin Yuan''s answers just now were indeed not problematic, in some descriptions, they didn''t sound like those of an Eighth-Rankevolver.


    At least, using the power of Yin and Yang to form a stable domain was the rudiment of a certain kind of ''realm.''


    "Remarkable, to prepare for the future ''opening of a realm'' before reaching Rank8. Without guidance, the potential is limitless."


    The Tai-A Schr muttered softly to himself.


    "No wonder the protection from the Goddess of Wisdom is so tight." The Tai-A Schr nced around.


    He was well aware that schrs like himself were under constant surveince by the Goddess of Wisdom, both for protection and to prevent them from doing anything outrageous.


    If an evolution schr were to go mad, the consequences would be unpredictable.


    "A few more questions."


    The Tai-A Schr became interested; it had been a long time since he had encountered a junior who sparked his enthusiasm like this.


    Next.


    The Tai-A Schr and Lin Yuan chatted for over half an hour.


    "This..."


    The Tai-A Schr''s eyes widened in amazement; through his subtle guidance, they even touched upon other methods of ''opening realms.''


    The Tai-A Schr clearly felt that what was called the method of ''opening realms'' waspletely a blind spot in Lin Yuan''s knowledge. He didn''t even know what it was.


    But as the Tai-A Schr and Lin Yuanmunicated deeply, thetter''s understanding of several other methods of ''opening realms'' rapidly improved, to a terrifying extent.


    Terrifying to the point that even a schr like him felt astonished.


    "Is he pretending not to understand or does he truly not know?"


    The Tai-A Schr was somewhat puzzled.


    From Lin Yuan''s tone in answering the questions, the Tai-A Schr was certain that the other party truly didn''t understand and hadn''t been exposed to the methods of ''opening realms.''


    But if he truly didn''t understand, how could he grasp the concepts of these other methods of ''opening realms'' so quickly after just a few hints?


    "A genius, an unparalleled genius."


    The Tai-A Schr immediately stood up and paced back and forth.


    "Huh?"


    "He logged off?"


    The Tai-A Schr noticed that Lin Yuan suddenly disconnected from the virtual world.


    On the Cann Star, at the manor.


    The conversation with the Tai-A Schr had a profound impact on Lin Yuan. He even had to disconnect and return to the real world to focus onprehending the martial arts evolution path.


    "To master myriad paths with the Tao of Tai Chi."


    "But what if it''s not the Tao of Tai Chi?"


    "Can one still master myriad paths?"


    Countless insights surged in Lin Yuan''s mind.


    [Your Insight is unrivaled, dissecting one way to master myriad paths, continuously perfecting the path of martial arts evolution.]


    [Your Insight is unrivaled, dissecting one way to master myriad paths, continuously perfecting the path of martial arts evolution.]


    [Your Insight is unrivaled, dissecting one way to master myriad paths, continuously perfecting the path of martial arts evolution.]


    Lin Yuan plunged into deep-level cultivation.


    Even his external perception was mostly blocked out.


    Fortunately, Lin Yuan often did this, and his parents were used to it. As long as Lin Yuan didn''te out, they wouldn''t actively disturb him.


    Several dayster.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes.


    This seclusion had a significant impact on him, even causing him to reconsider the foundation of martial arts.


    "That person is at least a high-tier evolver, no weaker than my teacher," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Just through a few conversations, Lin Yuan had gained a lot.


    As Lin Yuan continued to contemte, the upgrade sound of the intelligent assistant rang out.


    "Master, you have a delivery."


    "It''s from Shuntong Group and is ssified as S-level encryption."


    "A delivery?" Lin Yuan was momentarily surprised.


    But upon hearing ''Shuntong Group'' and S-level encryption, he was instantly taken aback.


    Shuntong Group was thergest transportation group in the human civilization, with its operations not limited to the Human Alliance.


    In the vast expanse of the universe, while human civilization had many enemies, it also had many allies and affiliated groups. As long as it was within reach of human civilization, it fell within Shuntong Group''s transportation range.


    As for reliability and confidentiality, Shuntong Group was officially endorsed by human civilization, making it absolutely trustworthy.


    It stood at the same level as the Central Gctic Bank.


    Of course, Shuntong Group charged exorbitant fees, starting at a hundred millions at the minimum.


    For S-level encrypted deliveries by Shuntong Group, prices started at billions.


    As for the specific amount, it depended on the size of the item being transported and whether it had any other influencing factors.


    For example, transporting a stone would naturally cost differently from transporting a.


    S-level encrypted deliveries were part of Shuntong Group''s high-level services, escorted by eight Rank 6 evolvers and one Rank7 evolver.


    Their whereabouts werepletely confidential, and besides the recipient like Lin Yuan, no one else could know.


    "When did..."


    Lin Yuan hesitated.


    Just then, the Lord of Red Kun Star Domain suddenly sent a message.


    "Hahaha, my good disciple, the package should have arrived, right?"


    "Is it from the teacher?" Lin Yuan felt a slight certainty in his heart.


    If he hadn''t figured out who sent it, Lin Yuan probably wouldn''t have epted it.


    But now...


    "Teacher, what is it, and why does it require S-level encryption from Shuntong Group?" Lin Yuan felt a bit distressed; that was worth billions of civilization credits.


    "You''ll know when you receive it," the Lord of Red Kun Star Domain said mysteriously.


    "Okay."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    Then he left the main building and went outside the manor.


    A man in a ck uniform was already waiting there.


    This man looked very ordinary, with no difference from other delivery personnel.


    However, Lin Yuan knew that to ensure the item was delivered to the recipient, the person who made the final handover was often the strongest member of the transport team.


    For S-level encrypted deliveries by Shuntong Group, a Rank7 evolver apanied them.


    In other words, this man in the ck uniform was a Rank7 evolver.


    "Sir," the man in the ck uniform greeted respectfully.


    Anyone who could afford Shuntong Group''s S-level encryption was of extremely high status, even beyond Rank6.


    "Hello," Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    Then, he went through fingerprint, iris, and soul wave authentication.


    Once it was confirmed that Lin Yuan was indeed the recipient, the man in the ck uniform handed over a simple ck briefcase to him.


    "Hmm?"


    As Lin Yuan received the briefcase, his expression changed slightly.

    ...


    "Very heavy."


    Lin Yuan looked down again at the ck briefcase.


    It was only fifty centimeters in length and width, but it weighed at least ten tons.


    "The handover isplete."


    "Then I will take my leave."


    The man in the ck uniform smiled slightly.


    He turned and left.


    From beginning to end.


    This was a very ordinary looking storage and retrieval.


    If Lin Yuan had not known in advance, he would not have thought much of it.


    "What exactly did the teacher send me?"


    Lin Yuan carried the ck briefcase back to the main building.


    The weight of ten tons was naturally not a problem for Lin Yuan''s physique at the moment.


    Lin Yuan was surprised just now because he did not expect the ck briefcase to weigh ten tons.


    "Let''s open it and see."


    Lin Yuan returned to the underground training ground.


    Drip


    After passing fingerprint, pupil, and soul fluctuation authentication again.


    The ck briefcase slowly opened.


    What came into view was a fist-sized ck gold box.


    Lin Yuan could tell that the weight of up to ten tons of the briefcase came almost entirely from this ck gold box.


    Click.


    With the many authentications before.


    This time, Lin Yuan easily opened the ck gold box.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan saw that in the center of the ck gold box, there was a ''stone'' the size of a little fingernail.


    The ''stone'' was crimson in color.


    Lin Yuan looked at this ''stone'' as if he was looking at a star.


    "This"


    Lin Yuan carefully examined the fingernail-sized ''stone''.


    Every detail of it, the texture and marks on the surface, stirred up a huge wave in Lin Yuan''s heart.


    "This is the rule, the fundamental rule of the world."


    Lin Yuan was excited in his heart.


    If it were other Evolvers, they might not recognize what this ''stone'' was.


    Even some Rank 6 Evolvers might not recognize it.


    But Lin Yuan was different.


    Having experienced the world of divine weapons.


    Lin Yuan was extremely sensitive to the fundamental rules of the world.


    This fingernail-sized ''stone'' was far from the external manifestation of the fundamental rules.


    In the world of divine weapons, even the smallest piece of a divine weapon contained a volume of fundamental rules far exceeding this ''stone''.


    But this is the main world.


    A single hair from an elephant is heavier than countless ants.


    Not to mention, the main worldpared to the world of divine weapons, is more than just the difference between elephants and ants.


    This ''stone'', far from manifesting the fundamental rules, it can''t even be considered an imprint, at most it has some essence of the fundamental rules.


    But to Lin Yuan, it felt more significant than all the divine weapons in the world of divine weaponsbined.


    Hot.


    Vast.


    Light.


    Many essences manifested on this ''stone''.


    "Having this stone for reference andprehension, my path of martial arts evolution and the breakthrough to Rank 6 will be much easier"


    It''s like solving a problem. Originally, Lin Yuan could only solve it slowly, but now, he has a lot of auxiliary materials rted to this problem.


    Solving this problem will definitely be a lot easier.


    Even with these auxiliary materials, it will be a great help for Lin Yuan to answer the next problem, and the problem after that.


    "Teacher."


    Lin Yuan connected to the virtual world.


    He came to the pce of the Red Kun star lord.


    "Are you here?"


    The Red Kun star lord looked at Lin Yuan with anticipation: "Did you see that thing? How do you feel?"


    "Teacher."


    Lin Yuan hesitated: "It''s too precious, I can''t ept it"


    Even if Lin Yuan doesn''t know the value of items rted to rules in the main world.


    But just the transportation of this ''stone'', the Red Kun star lord used the S-level encryption of the Shuntong Group worth a hundred billion.


    It is known that its value must far exceed a hundred billion.


    It might even be a priceless treasure that money can''t buy.


    "You are my disciple, what can''t you ept?"


    The Red Kun star lord said indifferently: "Besides, at my current level, such items are of no use to me, it''s better to give them to you than to waste them"


    "Thank you, teacher."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    He also understood that what the Red Kun star lord said was just tofort him.


    He could have sold it or exchanged it for something he needed.


    "How about it?"


    "How do you feel about that stone?"


    The Red Kun star lord continued to ask.


    "It''s very enlightening."


    Lin Yuan said earnestly.


    "That''s good."


    A smile appeared on the face of the Red Kun star lord: "My good disciple, if I were to forcefully guide you, it would actually limit your path."


    "That stone is a crystallization of rules, the essence contained in it is a virtually limitless path to the heavens."


    "As long as you understand the mystery contained in the stone, surpassing Rank 6 is not a problem."


    The Red Kun star lord said.


    Returning from the Red Kun star lord.


    Lin Yuan''s gaze once again fell on the fingernail-sized stone.


    "It''s too profound."


    Lin Yuan was almost obsessed.


    The crimson stone, rted to the rules of the sun, as Lin Yuan carefullyprehended, could continuously enhance his understanding of the sun''s rules.


    Just like that.


    Lin Yuan would spend most of his time every day contemting this stone.


    As for the rest of the time, he continued to perfect the martial arts evolution path and think about how to break through to Rank 6.


    Yes.


    Lin Yuan has long had the ability to break through to Rank 6.


    But exactly from which angle to start, needed careful consideration.


    Once the breakthrough to Rank 6 begins, one''s soul will actively harmonize with one''s evolutionary path.


    This is crucial.


    If the soul and the evolutionary path achieve perfect harmony, then one can step into Rank 6.


    Breaking through from Rank 5 to Rank 6 is not an instant or short-term process.


    It has a process, fast then one year, two years, three years, slow then hundreds or thousands of years.


    Many Rank 5 peak Evolvers are stuck in soul harmony, unable to step into Rank 6 for hundreds or thousands of years.


    Virtual world.


    Arge ssroom in the Cann Evolution Academy.


    The ss had not yet started, but thousands of students hade early to secure good seats, full of anticipation.


    "Have you heard? The teacher for our ss this time is Lin Yuan, the champion of the arenapetition."


    "Nonsense, would Ie so early if I hadn''t heard about it?"


    "That''s Lin Yuan, the Evolver with the strongest evolutionary talent in Cann Star for tens of thousands of years, who stepped into Rank 4 before the age of a hundred."


    "Yeah, I''d be satisfied if I could be a Rank 2 Evolver by the age of a hundred."


    "You still dream of Rank 2?"


    Thousands of students started discussing quietly.


    The students sitting in this ssroom are the most promising students of the Cann Evolution Academy, the future hope of Cann Star.


    At this moment, everyone is extremely looking forward to the arrival of the teaching teacher.


    Swoosh.


    At this moment.


    A young man appeared on the podium.


    The next moment.


    The ssroom was immediately silent.


    All students stared at the young man.


    "Hello everyone."


    Lin Yuan casually greeted.


    As an honorary professor of Cann Evolution Academy, Lin Yuan enjoys many benefits of a professor level. Although he is an honorary professor and does not have to appear, he should at least teach one or two sses.


    Half an hourter.


    After Lin Yuan finished speaking the content of the textbook.


    He began to ask the students below about the problems they encountered on the evolutionary path.


    "Professor Lin."


    A girl with a ponytail raised her hand.


    "You ask."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    "Thank you, Professor Lin."


    The ponytail girl was a bit surprised. There were many students who raised their hands at the same time just now, but Lin Yuan chose her in the end.


    "Professor Lin, my evolutionary path is martial arts"


    The ponytail girl took the initiative to state her evolutionary path.


    This is normal, each evolutionary path has different characteristics. Stating one''s cultivation evolutionary path helps the teacher better understand the questions that follow.


    "Martial arts, huh"


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    Nowadays, the martial arts evolutionary path has be the most popr evolutionary path on Cann Star.


    Among the thousands of students here, a lot of them are following the martial arts evolutionary path.


    Of course, these students have just started practicing, and the vast majority are still unranked.


    "I see that the martial arts evolutionary pathter on requires theprehension of Yin and Yang forces, but I am naturally slow to perceive these two forces. Does this mean I am not suitable for the martial arts path?"


    The ponytail girl asked cautiously.


    This question.


    The other students immediately pricked up their ears.


    They also wanted to know the answer to this question, because Yin and Yang energies belong to higher energies, not everyone can sense them.


    Most Evolvers are more sensitive to the basic energies of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.


    "This question."


    Lin Yuan looked around.


    If he had to answer, Lin Yuan could give an answer.


    That is, everything has Yin and Yang. For example, the attribute of metal, it also has Yin and Yang, the attribute of water, also has Yin and Yang, the attribute of thunder, also has Yin and Yang.


    Even if you can''tprehend Yin and Yang, you can sense the power you can feel, such as the power of metal, understand the power of metal thoroughly, thenprehend its Yin and Yang parts, and finally deduce the power of Yin and Yang.


    However.


    Lin Yuan can understand this answer, other Rank 5 and Rank 6 Evolvers might also understand.


    But the students here, the majority of whom are unranked Evolvers, definitely won''t understand.


    Not only will they not understand.


    They also can''t do it.


    Since that''s the case.


    Lin Yuan didn''t want to say it.


    "I''m also researching this question."


    "Once I figure it out, I will definitely tell you."


    Lin Yuan said.


    "Okay."


    The ponytail girl didn''t find it strange.


    She though that although Lin Yuan''sprehension is considered the best on Cann Star,pared to that mysterious schr who created the martial arts evolutionary path, it''s naturally not as good.


    Even that mysterious schr didn''t exin the problem, so it''s normal for Lin Yuan not to know the answer.


    After finishing the lecture.


    Lin Yuan disconnected from the virtual world.


    Sitting cross-legged in the underground training ground, the question from the ponytail girl in the ssroom made Lin Yuan fall into deep thought.


    All along, the martial arts evolutionary path created by Lin Yuan was entirely based on his own perspective.


    Rank 1 chapter.


    The Yin and Yang chapter in the Rank 2 chapter.


    Rank 3 chapter, the rules of Yin and Yang.


    Rank 4 chapter.


    Rank 5 chapter, the primordial spirits of Yin, Yang, and Tai Chi.


    Everything was entirely based on himself.


    But who is Lin Yuan?


    He has Unrivaled Insight, can deduce ten things from one, a hundred from one.


    Lin Yuan can understand, can deduce, can absorb, can others do the same? For example, Yin, Yang, and Tai Chi, which are part of the content of the Rank 2 chapter of the martial arts evolutionary path.


    But to deduce Tai Chi, let alone Tai Chi, even just Yin or Yang, is extremely difficult for others.


    In the world of dragon tiger realm, those who have deduced the ultimate of Yin and Yang are all once-in-a-hundred-years masters.


    And they also rely on the True Martial Sword to do so.


    The cultivation environment of the main world, although far superior to the world of dragon tiger realm, but for the most ordinary citizens, the resources they enjoy are not much.


    "Martial arts starting from the Rank 2 chapter, the difficulty is no longer suitable for ordinary citizens"


    Lin Yuan''s expression was calm, his thoughts turbulent.


    With the current martial arts evolutionary path.


    From the Rank 2 chapter, one must deduce one of Yin or Yang.


    If one cannot deduce, it is difficult to progress further.


    It can be foreseen that countless citizens will be stuck at this step.


    Lin Yuan slowly closed his eyes.


    Martial arts should not be so narrow.


    At that moment, many insights surged to his mind.


    Recently, in the founder''s virtual world, during the conversation with that mysterious being who left a post 23,000 years ago, besides the method of Tai Chi governing all things, other methods of governing all things were quickly utilized by Lin Yuan.


    Lin Yuan began to reorganize martial arts from the Rank 2 chapter, eliminating the restriction that only Yin and Yang could progress further.


    From now on, martial arts practitioners will not be limited to Yin and Yang. As long as they can feel it, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder, ice, and many other forces, can continue to practice.


    From Rank 2, determine a path that fits oneself, until Rank 5, condensing a corresponding attribute primordial spirit.


    Here, the primordial spirit is not only Yin spirit and Yang spirit, but also metal primordial spirit, water primordial spirit, wood primordial spirit, etc.


    Endless.


    Inclusive of all things.


    Just as Lin Yuan was perfecting the martial arts evolutionary path.


    Boom.


    His soul suddenly vibrated.


    Then the aura began to change, slowly transforming towards the martial arts evolutionary path.


    "I didn''t expect."


    "This is the best way for me to break through to Rank 6."


    Lin Yuan let out a breath.


    Perfecting the martial arts evolutionary path, making it no longer limited to Yin and Yang, directly gave Lin Yuan the best opportunity to break through to Rank 6.


    This opportunity, many Rank 5 peak Evolvers, might not catch in decades or hundreds of years.


    Even the previous Lin Yuan was hesitating about how to break through to Rank 6.


    But now, everything is clear, this natural breakthrough is definitely the most perfect way to step into Rank 6.


    A monthter.


    Lin Yuan emerged from seclusion.


    Breaking through from Rank 5 to Rank 6 is not something that can be done in a short time. It requires a slow transformation and change of the soul.


    "Let''s rest for a while."


    Lin Yuan nned to bnce work and rest.


    He was not one of those Evolvers whose life is about to end.


    Lin Yuan''s age is only twenty years old, he has plenty of time to enjoy.


    "Hmm?"


    "So many people looking for me?"


    Lin Yuan opened the information panel and found that during his seclusion, many people had visited him, but since he was in seclusion, they were dealt with by the intelligent assistant.


    But still, seven or eight people insisted on seeing Lin Yuan.


    They are still waiting for him to emerge from seclusion.


    "Let''s meet them."


    Lin Yuan clicked agree.


    Suddenly a man with golden hair appeared in front of him.


    "Xiangwen Group from Puyan Star Domain, Zhou He has seen Mr. Lin Yuan."


    The golden-haired middle-aged man was slightly respectful.


    "Xiangwen Group?" Lin Yuan thought for a moment.


    Immediately remembered, this group is a fairly famous group in the Puyan Star Domain, with a Rank 6 evolver sitting in it.


    Puyan Star Domain is a star domain next to the Red Kun Star Domain. Due to its proximity, it has frequent trade with many forces in the Red Kun Star Domain.


    "Speak."


    "What''s the matter."


    Lin Yuan said casually.


    "Our Xiangwen Group sincerely invites Mr. Lin Yuan to be a member of the next arenapetition reserve team."


    "As long as Mr. Lin Yuan agrees, any condition can be negotiated."


    The golden-haired middle-aged man said.


    "Your meaning is, let me join your group and then participate in the next arenapetition?"


    Lin Yuan nced at the golden-haired middle-aged man.


    ...

    ...


    "Indeed."


    "With Mr. Lin''s talent and ability, Cann Star is ultimately too small for you."


    "It''s just a medium-sized life, but my Xiangwen Group has a Rank 6 Evolver stationed there. That is the real stage suitable for Mr. Lin Yuan."


    The blond middle-aged man continued with a smile, "Moreover, Lord Xiangwen highly values Mr. Lin and might even offer some guidance in the future."


    Lord Xiangwen is the Rank 6 Evolver behind Xiangwen Group.


    Guidance from a Rank 6 Evolver is a great opportunity for most Evolvers.


    A Rank 6 Evolver has the power of destroying stars, the perspective from such a height, even casual advice, could lead to enlightenment for Rank 4 and Rank 5 Evolvers.


    The blond middle-aged man believed it would be difficult for Lin Yuan to ignore this condition.


    Lin Yuan''s qualifications are indeed good, entering Rank 4 before the age of a hundred, with a high probability of bing a Rank 5 Evolver in the future.


    But that''s all.


    To advance further and break through to Rank 6, the hopes are still slim.


    Therefore, guidance from a Rank 6 Evolver should not be missed.


    "Sorry, I''m not interested in joining other forces," Lin Yuan shook his head.


    What a joke? ording to the blond middle-aged man, joining the Xiangwen Group would require signing many contracts.


    Even requiring Lin Yuan to personally visit the Xiangwen Group''s headquarters for review.


    And those conditions offered by the blond middle-aged man might be attractive to an ordinary Rank 4 Evolver, but for Lin Yuan?


    Moreover, Lin Yuan''s true identity is the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage, almost equivalent to a prince of an empire, and one with real power at that.


    Joining the Xiangwen Group would be like fighting for other star domains in apetition.


    How absurd is that?


    "Mr. Lin, won''t you consider it at all?" the blond middle-aged man''s face slightly changed.


    Although the Xiangwen Group is not located in the Red Kun Star Domain, it is ultimately a major force with a Rank 6 Evolver.


    Even if Lin Yuan has other options and won''t join the Xiangwen Group, there''s no need to be so direct.


    A more tactful response would have made everyone look better.


    "I said, I''m not interested, and I won''t consider it further."


    Lin Yuan shook his head, his main focus now is to step into Rank 6 as soon as possible.


    Other matters unrted to breakthroughs are trivial.


    "Alright."


    "Lord Xiangwen would probably be very disappointed to hear this."


    The blond middle-aged man''s face looked somewhat ugly as he stood up to leave.


    "What''s the matter?"


    "Your Lord Xiangwen wouldn''te over to teach me a lesson, would he?"


    Lin Yuan spoke with a sneer.


    In the Human Alliance, thews areplete, and the stronger the Evolver, the greater the restrictions.


    Even those high and mighty evolutionary schrs can''t act recklessly, let alone a Rank 6? If Lord Xiangwen dares toe to Cann Star, showing intent against Lin Yuan.


    Lin Yuan would report to the Goddess of Wisdom. (Mama goddess :D)


    Can''t beat you? Can''t I still report you?


    Of course, Lin Yuan thinks it''s unlikely that Lord Xiangwen woulde over.


    He might not even know about Lin Yuan.


    "I hope Mr. Lin''s evolutionary path will always be smooth" the blond middle-aged man said with a grim face.


    Meaning, Lin Yuan should not seek help from the Xiangwen Group in the future.


    "Get out."


    Lin Yuan directly kicked the blond middle-aged man out of his personal room. (How bold :D)


    Once Lin Yuan steps into Rank 6, he can openly reveal his identity as the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage.


    By then, forces at the level of the Xiangwen Group would be too eager to curry favor with Lin Yuan.


    Personal space.


    Lin Yuan sat alone on a wooden chair.


    "Tournament"


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    The tournament is one of the hottest and most attention-grabbing activities of the Human Civilization Alliance.


    And being hot and in the spotlight means huge traffic.


    This gives rise to a series of industries involving huge amounts of money.


    Why do groups like the Xiangwen Group, or other financial conglomerates, specifically cultivate teams to participate in various tournaments? Is it really just for honor?


    Of course not!


    As long as Evolvers can achieve a certain rank in the tournament, such as top hundred or top ten, they will attract a lot of attention.


    At that time, just running an advertisement, or printing a group''s logo on clothing, can bring immense poprity.


    And advertising is just the mostmon way to mize.


    Each tournament also has ''betting'' set up in advance.


    Before the match, you choose a yer you think will win, and if the result is as expected, you will win a certain amount of money at odds.


    Of course.


    To ensure fairness.


    Under the detection of the Goddess of Wisdom, the possibility of ''fixed matches'' is almost eliminated.


    That''s why major forces and conglomerates are very keen on finding potential Evolvers from inconspicuous medium-sized lifes, then supporting them to participate in tournaments.


    These Evolvers from medium-sized lifes, with low exposure and no systematic training, if they receive support from major forces, their strength can significantly improve in a short time.


    By the time the star domain-level tournament starts, they will enter as ''dark horses''.


    After all, in the eyes of most citizens, a yer who has already gained some fame andpleted ten consecutive victories, twenty consecutive victories, facing an unknown opponent.


    Most citizens would definitely bet on the former to win.


    Apart from the above two methods.


    The tournament has many ways to make money, the most enduring is to build a fan base.


    In the current Human Alliance, the top Star-Falling Evolvers (Rank 6) have countless fans, many of whom are second-generation members of major forces.


    Every move they make has an astonishing impact.


    "So, in the eyes of those conglomerates, I already qualify as a ''dark horse''?"


    Lin Yuan touched his chin and shook his head slightly.


    In fact, this is indeed the case. In thest tournament, even if Lin Yuan only showed part of his strength, that was still Rank 4.


    A Rank 4 Evolver under a hundred years old might be somewhatmon on those prosperous higher lifes.


    But on a medium-sized life like Cann Star, it''s almost impossible to find one in tens of thousands of years, let alone hundreds of thousands of years.


    The education, cultivation, and resources of a medium-sized life are far inferior to those of higher lifes.


    In such an environment, to step into Rank 4, whether it''s through an adventure or luck, is not much weaker than those top evolutionary geniuses from higher lifes.


    That''s why Lin Yuan was valued by the Xiangwen Group, who specifically sent someone to invite him.


    "The Goddess of Wisdom allows such things to happen because the invitations from major forces and conglomerates may restrict evolutionary geniuses, but they also cultivate these Evolvers."


    "And subject to thews of human civilization, the contracts signed between these conglomerates and evolutionary geniuses are not too excessive. Even in the case of breach of contract, the penalty is not astronomical."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    There are gains and losses, this is the unwritten rule tacitly agreed upon by the Human Alliance.


    Wanting to take advantage of one''s genius status, disregarding contractual obligations, the three Goddesses would not support such behavior.


    "My current soulpatibility"


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness returned to reality, carefully sensing.


    "About 15%plete. At this rate, in at most two years, I should reach perfectpatibility and officially step into Rank 6."


    Lin Yuan''s face showed a smile.


    Rank 6 has a special meaning for any Evolver.


    Below Rank 6, no matter how strong a life form is, it''s just a terrestrial life, dependent on the environment within a to survive.


    Once leaving the,ing into space, it''s difficult to continue living.


    But at Rank 6, one can roam the starry sea, and all Rank 6 Evolvers are called space life forms.


    Moreover, Rank 6 is a stage of qualitative change in strength.


    Why does Lin Yuan only need to cultivate to Rank 6 to openly reveal his identity as the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage?


    Because a Rank 6 Evolver is hard to assassinate, at least their means of preserving life far exceed those of Rank 5.


    Generally, unless absolutely necessary, alien races would not assassinate a Rank 6 Evolver, as the cost is too great, equivalent to the cost of cultivating dozens of Rank 7 strong beings.


    And it''s still not guaranteed to kill that Rank 6 Evolver.


    "The speed of soulpatibility transformation is not stable; it might be fast at the beginning and slow downter, or slow at the beginning and speed upter."


    "My currentpatibility transformation is still normal."


    Lin Yuan continued to observe.


    "However, as long as the soulpatibility has not reached one-tenth, it can be terminated, choosing another evolutionary path forpatibility"


    After stepping into Rank 6, the cost of changing the evolutionary path will skyrocket.


    But Lin Yuan, strictly speaking, has not yet stepped into Rank 6 and is still Rank 5.


    "The many evolutionary paths I currently master, the most powerful is undoubtedly the Mysterious Yellow Evolutionary Path. If I use this path as the direction for soul transformation"


    Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, then immediately abandoned this idea.


    Even if the Mysterious YellowEvolutionary Path is powerful, it''s not created by Lin Yuan. Using this path as the fundamental evolutionary path, in the short term, the benefits might be great.


    But in the long run, it might not be beneficial.


    Lin Yuan is still more confident in the Martial Dao Evolutionary Path.


    The Mysterious YellowEvolutionary Path can be studied and practiced alongside, but it definitely cannot be the foundation.


    Other evolutionary paths are the same, including the Mysterious YellowEvolutionary Path, which can only serve as nourishment to perfect the Martial Dao Evolutionary Path.


    "Let''s continue to perfect the Martial Dao Evolutionary Path."


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness continued to delve into the Martial Dao Evolutionary Path.


    In Lin Yuan''stest conception, the Martial Dao Evolutionary Path no longer has separate sections for Yin, Yang, and Yin-Yang.


    Various attribute powers can be incorporated into the Martial Dao evolutionary system.


    Evolver''s expertise in any attribute can enter the Martial Dao for cultivation.


    The Martial Dao should not be so small, but infinitelyrge.


    Lin Yuan found that when perfecting the Martial Dao Evolutionary Path in this direction, the speed of soulpatibility transformation would gain a certain degree of improvement.


    Next.


    Lin Yuan continued to perfect the Martial Dao evolutionary system while observing the crimson ''stone'' sent by the Red Kun Star Lord.


    In his spare time he would reject invitations from financial conglomerates and forces from various star domains.


    Apart from the Xiangwen Group noticing Lin Yuan''s potential to be a ''dark horse'', other forces naturally noticed as well.


    In the interster era, even slightly powerful forces have their own think tanks, constantly nning actions based on information from human civilization and even other alien races, to best suit their own interests.


    Lin Yuan, a Rank 4 under a hundred years old from a medium-sized life, with great potential and yet not costly, is naturally very ''wee''.


    At first, Lin Yuan still made time to meet them, clearly expressing his attitude.


    But in the end, the frequency was too high.


    Lin Yuan simply stopped meeting them, letting the AI assistant handle it.


    "If I had said that I had passed the Seven Stars Cave trial from the beginning..."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    If he had just passed the trial like Fang Qing, bing an official member of the Red Kun Lineage, these forces would not invite him like this.


    After all, as an official member of the Red Kun Lineage, how could there be any reason to work for other forces?


    The Red Kun Lineage is the strongest force.


    But in doing so, Lin Yuan would need to travel to the Red Kun main star with those who passed the trial like Fang Qing.


    This is the normal process for joining the Red Kun Lineage in each session.


    Lin Yuan being able to stay on Cann Star all this time is entirely because he is the Thirteenth Peak Master, enjoying many privileges. Even the gift from the Red Kun Star Lord had to be specially delivered by the Shuntong Group at a cost of a hundred billion civilization coins.


    That day.


    Lin Yuan had just finished his cultivation.


    The voice of the AI assistant came over.


    "Master, the person visiting this timees from the ck Prison family, the 3821st son of ck Prison Mo, a trusted follower under ck Prison Ao."


    "The ck Prison family?" Lin Yuan''s brows slightly furrowed.


    The ck Prison family is a force in the Red Kun Star Domain, ranking in the top five among many forces outside the Red Kun Lineage.


    The strongest in the ck Prison family, ck Prison Mo, is a being beyond Rank 6.


    "The ck Prison family." Lin Yuan pondered for a while.


    "Let''s meet."


    Lin Yuan could ignore the invitations from other financial conglomerates, firstly because most of them are Rank 6 forces.


    And Lin Yuan, bing a Rank 6 Evolver, was just a matter of time.


    Secondly, most of the forces inviting Lin Yuan are from outside the Red Kun Star Domain, no need to be too close.


    But the ck Prison family is different, as a local force in the Red Kun Star Domain, when Lin Yuan steps into Rank 6 and openly reveals his identity, he might need to interact with them.


    Whoosh.


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness connected to the virtual world.


    Personal space.


    Lin Yuan agreed to enter.


    A noble-looking elderly man in a ck suit appeared before him.


    "Beizhao, on behalf of my young master, ck Prison Ao, greets Mr. Lin Yuan."


    The elderly man in a ck suit, Beizhao, was very humble and slightly respectful.


    He then stated the conditions for inviting Lin Yuan to join under ck Prison Ao.


    "I''m not particrly interested in the tournament for the time being, sorry."


    Lin Yuan tried to soften his tone.


    "I see."


    The elderly man in a ck suit, Beizhao, showed no change in expression.


    After standing up to leave, he disappeared on the spot.


    "Quite reasonable?"


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    The people sent by those forces to invite him, after being rejected, most would make some threats or hints.


    Inside a magnificent pce.


    ck Prison Ao sat on the throne, deep in thought.


    At this moment, the figure of the elderly man in a ck suit, Beizhao, appeared.


    "Which contract level did that Lin Yuan choose?" ck Prison Ao said casually.


    Before sending Beizhao to invite Lin Yuan, ck Prison Ao had set up five levels of contracts.


    The higher the contract level, the more support for Lin Yuan.


    But the restrictions would also be greater.


    Lin Yuan could choose any contract level.


    "Young master."


    The elderly man in a ck suit, Beizhao, bowed slightly.


    "Lin Yuan declined the young master''s invitation."


    The elderly man in a ck suit said in a low voice.


    "Declined my invitation?"


    On the throne, ck Prison Ao was slightly stunned.


    He looked down at the elderly man in a ck suit, Beizhao.


    ...

    ...


    "Young Master."


    "I have already stated all the conditions."


    "But Lin Yuan still refuses."


    "He says he''s not interested in the arena match."


    Said the old man in a ck suit, Beizhao.


    "Is that so?"


    ck Prison Ao stood up from the throne, his brow slightly furrowed.


    He considered himself extremely benevolent, offering favorable terms in the five-tier contract he presented. Especially in the lowest tier contract, where Lin Yuan would only need to serve under him, ck Prison Ao, for a hundred years to receive numerous resources for cultivation.


    For fourth and fifth rank evolvers, a hundred years was not considered long, especially serving under him, ck Prison Ao. This was a fortune ordinary evolvers couldn''t even dream of.


    Yet Lin Yuan had refused.


    This was a result ck Prison Ao hadn''t anticipated at all.


    He, ck Prison Ao, was a sixth-rank existence, a direct descendant of ck Prison Mo. Countless evolvers sought to join him voluntarily.


    But ck Prison Ao didn''t see any of them worthy.


    Now, finally finding Lin Yuan promising, only to have him reject the offer?


    "What''s going on?"


    "Has the reputation of my ck Prison Family fallen to such a level?"


    ck Prison Ao was somewhat distressed.


    Cann Star, Central Continent Manor.


    Lin Yuan walked out of the underground training ground and called the captain of the guard, Hou Ming.


    "Mr. Lin."


    The sixth-rank evolver, Hou Ming, respectfully greeted.


    "I want to inquire about something."


    Lin Yuan sat in a chair, lightly tapping the armrest with his right hand.


    The invitation to join under that ck Prison Ao, which was refused and led to his immediate departure, intrigued Lin Yuan.


    "Do you know about the ck Prison Family?"


    Lin Yuan asked Hou Ming.


    "The ck Prison Family?"


    Hou Ming paused for a moment, then nodded, saying, "I know. It''s one of the five major powers in the Red Kun Star Domain."


    It was undeniable that the most powerful force in the Red Kun Star Domain was the Red Kun Lineage. And below the Red Kun Lineage were the five major powers, one of which was the ck Prison Family.


    "Initially, shortly after the Star Lord took control of the star domain, ck Prison Mo, with his family, moved across several star domains to settle in the Red Kun Star Domain."


    "The Star Lord thought highly of ck Prison Mo''s resilience and entrusted some of the star domain''s trade to the ck Prison Family, which eventually became one of the five major powers."


    Hou Ming exined quickly.


    Although he was secretly cultivated by the Red Kun Lineage, he wasn''t entirely ignorant of the outside world. Plus, having lived long enough, he knew some information that was no longer widely circted.


    "I see."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    He understood.


    In summary, that ck Prison Mo was ackey of his teacher.


    "And have you heard of ck Prison Ao?" Lin Yuan continued.


    If he remembered correctly, it was ck Prison Ao who had invited him to join.


    "ck Prison Ao?"


    Hou Ming pondered for a moment and replied, "Isn''t he the youngest son of ck Prison Mo?"


    ck Prison Mo had thousands of offspring, and unless an evolver had exceptional memory, they couldn''t remember so many names. Especially with the simr pronunciations of the names within the ck Prison Family, it was easy for outsiders to get confused.


    "That''s right."


    "Just now, he invited me to join his team and participate in the arena match."


    "But I refused," Lin Yuan said, shaking his head.


    "That ck Prison Ao... How dare he," Hou Ming marveled, Lin Yuan was one of the thirteen peak masters of the Red Kun Lineage. Even ck Prison Mo, the anchor of the ck Prison Family, would show respect when meeting Lin Yuan.


    "I guess Mr. Lin''s performance in the arena match caught the attention of ck Prison Ao, so he took the initiative to invite you," Hou Ming spected after some thought.


    "The ck Prison Family is powerful, butpetition within it is also fierce. ck Prison Ao, as the youngest son of ck Prison Mo, was born thousands or even tens of thousands of yearster than his brothers."


    "Even with the support of the family, it''s difficult for him to catch up with his brothers. That''s why he''s focusing on the arena match."


    "As long as he supports a ''dark horse'' to enter the top hundred of the star-level arena match, ck Prison Ao will surely earn a huge fortune."


    "By then, his position in the ck Prison Family will also rise. If he gains the favor of ck Prison Mo and inherits the position of family head in the future, it''s not impossible."


    Hou Ming spoke softly.


    "I see."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    These big families and powers might seem morous on the surface, but internally, conflicts were extremely severe, sometimes to the extent that failure meant death.


    Unless ck Prison Aopletely withdrew and didn''t care about power or wealth, he would have topete with his thousands of brothers.


    In fact, it''s not just the ck Prison Family.


    The Red Kun Lineage also faces fiercepetition, with many standards set among its formal and core members.


    Can''t meet the standards? Then step aside and let those who can meet them take over.


    The reason Lin Yuan doesn''t feel strongly about this is entirely because he started at the level of peak master, standing directly at the top of the Red Kun Lineage.


    Most of the Red Kun Lineage''s inheritance resources are open to Lin Yuan.


    And Lin Yuan''s task is not topete with other disciples, but to continue practicing.


    Of course, Lin Yuan''s treatment was also obtained throughpetition, with over a million evolverspeting in the Seven Star Cave World.


    Although Lin Yuan''s starting point was not low, it was not the highest either; there were still three Crimson Marks above him.


    But in the end, Lin Yuan became the thirteenth peak master.


    "Oh, right."


    "That ck Prison Ao, his reputation in the outside world isn''t very good. He stops at nothing to achieve his goals. Mr. Lin has refused his invitation, and he probably won''t give up so easily."


    "If ck Prison Ao goes too far, Mr. Lin can have other peak masters intervene. Even ck Prison Mo wouldn''t dare to disobey the orders of the peak masters."


    Hou Ming reminded quietly.


    In front of the Red Kun Lineage, the ck Prison Family is submissive and deferential. This is not to say that the ck Prison Family is weak, but rather that the Red Kun Lineage is too strong, and the ck Prison Family can only behave this way.


    But if it weren''t for the Red Kun Lineage, the ck Prison Family would be the overlord of a star domain. The other four major forces among the five major forces would not want to offend the ck Prison Family unless absolutely necessary.


    "Understood."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    But


    If it''s not thest step.


    Lin Yuan wouldn''t ask his senior brothers to intervene.


    At the level of the ck Prison Family and the Red Kun Lineage''s peak masters.


    Every move is being watched by countless eyes.


    Lin Yuan hides his true identity and cultivates on Cann Star. If he gets involved in the vortex of the peak masters and the ck Prison Family...


    He might be spected upon by certain existences.


    Among the myriad paths of evolution in the main world, there is a category called "divination" evolution paths.


    These evolution paths can deduce a conclusion based on known information.


    Just as the thirteenth peak master of the Red Kun Lineage emerged, countless forces outside were specting about the true identity of this thirteenth peak master.


    And at this time, if a peak master intervenes and suppresses the ck Prison Family...


    This is a very clear signal to those evolvers who are proficient in "divination" evolution paths.


    Even if the senior brothers act very covertly, if ck Prison Ao inexplicably retreats in the end, it will still leave traces.


    Of course, evolvers proficient in "divination" evolution paths generally have poorbat abilities and mostly serve in the "think tanks" of some major forces.


    "Why did Lin Yuan refuse me in the end?"


    "Is it because my offer wasn''t good enough?"


    On the throne, ck Prison Ao continued to ponder.


    During this time, while recruiting other evolvers, he couldn''t stop thinking about Lin Yuan.


    He couldn''t help but recall the time when he left the family and ventured outside.


    His father, ck Prison Mo, once gave him two choices.


    The first choice was to take away a hundred trillion civilization coins from the family treasury.


    Afterward, the ck Prison Family would not provide him much support. If he wanted to return to the family and run for the position of family head, he would have to use these hundred trillion civilization coins to earn one trillion universe coins.


    The conversion ratio between civilization coins and universe coins was ten thousand to one.


    In other words, ck Prison Ao had to earn a wealth a hundred times greater than the hundred trillion civilization coins in order to qualify to return to the family.


    The second choice was to have the family''s "think tank" design apletemercial blueprint for him.


    As long as ck Prison Ao earned a hundred trillion civilization coins in the end, he could also return to the family and run for the position of family head.


    ck Prison Ao ultimately chose the second option.


    And in themercial blueprint nned by the ck Prison Family''s "think tank" for him, the foundation was the arena match.


    Themercial blueprint was very detailed, and the "think tanks" of the ck Prison Family spared no effort in selecting two hundred and twenty-three evolvers under a hundred years old.


    These two hundred and twenty-three evolvers all had potentials that ordinary people didn''t notice. As long as ck Prison Ao signed these two hundred and twenty-three evolvers and trained them to participate in the uing arena matches, there was a high probability they would shine.


    And among these two hundred and twenty-three evolvers, Lin Yuan was among them.


    "Lin Yuan."


    ck Prison Ao recalled the evaluation of Lin Yuan by the "think tank."


    "Just over twenty years old, he has reached the fourth rank, and with training and cultivation in thete fourth rank, he is expected to reach the pinnacle of the fourth rank before the next arena match. He has a chance to reach the fifth rank before he turns a hundred."


    "With fifth rank strength, participating in the star-level arena match, it''s easy for him to break into the top thousand."


    "I, ck Prison Ao, must obtain this Lin Yuan."


    ck Prison Ao looked down at his subordinates and said, "I''ve heard that geniuses are usually proud. You go and invite him, but if rejected, would I seed if I personally invite him?"


    "Young master."


    The elderly man in ck formal attire, Beizhao, was slightly stunned. "I''m not sure either, but if the young master personally invites him, Lin Yuan will probably be very moved?"


    With ck Prison Ao''s identity, personally inviting an evolver without background or influence would indeed be touching.


    After all, a personal invitation implies value and face.


    Virtual world.


    A specially opened small world.


    The twelve peak masters of the Red Kun Lineage were all gathered here.


    At that moment.


    A figure appeared.


    It was Lin Yuan.


    "Senior brothers, I apologize for dying my practice and not paying attention to the time."


    Lin Yuan apologized immediately with a tone of regret.


    Since bing the thirteenth peak master of the Red Kun Lineage.


    In order to maintain the rtionship between the peak masters, the eldest senior brother took the initiative to lead and invited other peak masters to gather from time to time.


    Since it was convenient to meet in the virtual world, just connecting consciousness was enough, and everyone generally arrived on time.


    "Hahaha, our junior brother here is quite remarkable. He''s not even a hundred years old yet, and he''s already at the fifth rank. I estimate it''s only a matter of time before he reaches the sixth rank."


    The eldest senior brotherughed heartily.


    Lin Yuan''s advancement to the fifth rank was not a secret. The Red Kun Star Lord knew, as did the twelve senior brothers.


    "Our junior brother doesn''t have any special physique or bloodline, yet he managed to break through to the fifth rank before a hundred years old. That''s indeed rare."


    The second senior brother nodded approvingly.


    In the Human Cosmic Alliance, there were indeed many unbelievable geniuses. Not to mention reaching the fifth rank before a hundred years old, even reaching the sixth rank before a hundred years old had happened.


    But these geniuses all had many special physiques and bloodlines. Some were born at the third or fourth rank, so there was no need forparison.


    But Lin Yuan was different.


    Although the twelve peak masters had never seen Lin Yuan in person.


    They had heard from the Red Kun Star Lordthat Lin Yuan''s physique and bloodline were nothing special.


    "Given the speed at which our junior brother cultivates, it''s likely that within a few decades, he''ll attempt to break through to the sixth rank."


    "Before breaking through to the sixth rank, our junior brother must be cautious, choose the fundamental evolution path that suits him best, the more suitable it is for himself, the higher the soulpatibility, and the faster the transformation."


    "It might even be helpful for him to break through to the seventh rank in the future."


    The eldest senior brother reminded earnestly.


    As a seventh rank evolver now, he had deep insights into the paths he had taken before. It was now easy for him to see where he had gone wrong or deviated.


    "Understood."


    Lin Yuan affirmed.


    From beginning to end, the eldest senior brother emphasized choosing the most suitable evolution path for oneself, one with high soulpatibility.


    It should be the most suitable, not the strongest.


    And among the countless evolution paths mastered by the Human Cosmic Civilization, which evolution path was more suitable for Lin Yuan than the martial path evolution path?


    "Ah, given our junior brother''s cultivation speed, breaking through to the seventh rank is probably very likely. By then, I wonder if we should change the way we address him."


    The third senior brother nced at the fourth senior brother and the other nine senior brothers.


    "Uh, about that."


    The fourth senior brother blinked, "If our junior brother can break through to the seventh rank, it would enhance the foundation of our Red Kun Lineage. Even if I have to change my address, I''d be willing."


    "Hahahaha, Old Third, you shouldn''t tease them."


    The second senior brother shook his head.


    For a sixth rank evolver to break through to the seventh rank, it required a specific opportunity. Even if Lin Yuan could break through to the sixth rank within a few decades, wanting to continue breaking through and reach the seventh rank was not an easy task.


    Many sixth rank peak evolvers were stuck at this bottleneck for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, until they died of old age.


    After exchanging for an hour, the gathering ended.


    Lin Yuan disconnected from the virtual world and returned to reality.


    In the Central Continent Manor, in the underground training ground.


    "Let''s see the results of this period."


    Lin Yuan carefully sensed the degree of transformation of his soul.


    "Twenty percent?"


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face. At this rate, it would probably take less than two years for his soul to reachpletepatibility. A little over a year would suffice.


    By then, he would step into the sixth rank and be a Star-Falling level powerhouse shaking the star domain.

    Chapter 136


    Help me buy a newputer :D /DavidLord


    ...


    Rank 5 Evolvers who want to advance to Rank 6 face the most crucial prerequisite  achievingplete harmony between their souls and fundamental evolutionary paths.


    As long as the soul achieves full harmony, the subsequent breakthrough bes a matter of course. However, it''s easier said than done.


    Finding an evolutionary path that aligns with one''s own being is no easy task. Sometimes, what appears harmonious in the early stages of cultivation may not remain so in theter stages, perhaps even losing harmony upon reaching Rank 4 or 5.


    Conversely, paths that seemed obstructive in the early stages might align with one''s beingter on.


    The Cosmic Human Alliance, in conjunction with the Three Goddesses, encourages citizens to explore and develop new evolutionary paths, even tilting resources in that direction.


    Aside from some extremely secretive and unspeakable reason, this is also aimed at providing countless Evolvers with more choices. If one path doesn''t align, they can try another, and then another.


    With more choices, the number of Rank 6 Evolvers naturally increases, leading to a continuous stream of Rank 7 and 8 Evolvers, forming a virtuous cycle.


    As for the extremely secretive and unspeakable reason, it affects the topmost elite of human civilization and even the entire universe.


    "The Martial Path Evolution Path was personally created and opened by me. It perfectly aligns with my being, but achieving soul harmony through this path is a colossal challenge for other Evolvers. They may even waste hundreds or thousands of years on it. But for me, it''s just a walk in the park."


    Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. If he had chosen the Mysterious Yellow Evolution Path as his fundamental path, his progress in achieving soul harmony would have been far inferior.


    In fact, Lin Yuan was not suitable for cultivating the Mysterious Yellow Evolution Path at all; he relied entirely on his Unrivaled Insight to cheat.


    But advancing in soul harmony wouldn''t benefit much from Unrivaled Insight. It''s conceivable that if Lin Yuan had chosen the Mysterious Yellow Evolution Path, he wouldn''t have even taken the first step.


    After finishing his training, Lin Yuan left the main building and went to the estate''s grass field, where his parents were leisurely sunbathing. Although there were various entertainment activities in the virtual world, Lin Shoucheng and his wife still preferred reality, asionally going into the virtual world for fun.


    "Oh oh oh oh."


    In the sky, a streak of light was flying rapidly. Lin Yuan knew without looking that it was his younger sister, Lin Yi.


    Lin Yi had chosen the Psychic Power Evolution Path. This path was widely known, and the prerequisites for training were not very difficult; one only needed psychic power higher than the average person''s.


    The Psychic Power Evolution Path essentially developed an Evolver''s psychic power to interfere with reality. At the first and second rank levels, the attacks of Evolvers on the Psychic Power Evolution Path were mostly psychicin nature  using psychic power to control one or more weapons to attack enemies.


    Simrly, Evolvers on the Psychic Power Evolution Path were few in number, and those who could achieve "alternate" flight before entering a rank were even fewer. This "alternate" flight involved the Evolver controlling a weapon, standing on it, and then controlling the weapon to fly.


    Of course, this kind of flight was far inferior in terms of speed and stability to true flight.


    "Let''s see how the training goes in the future," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    He had not let Lin Yi cultivate the Martial Path; no matter how much potential it had, it wasn''t suitable for everyone.


    After exchanging a few words with his family, Lin Yuan returned to the main building''s underground training ground.


    Just as Lin Yuan was about to continue perfecting the Martial Path Evolution System, the voice of the intelligent assistant suddenly rang out.


    "Master."


    "ck Prison Ao from the ck Prison Family wants to see you."


    "ck Prison Ao?" Lin Yuan sighed inwardly.


    After learning from the head of the guard, Hou Ming, about ck Prison Ao''s relentless character, Lin Yuan realized that refusing the invitation from the old man in ck was not the end of the matter.


    "Let''s meet," Lin Yuan thought for a moment and decided that it would be best for everyone to meet and discuss matters.


    With a robust legal system in ce in the CosmicHuman Alliance and the Three Goddesses reigning supreme, as long as Lin Yuan didn''t agree, ck Prison Ao wouldn''t be able to force him.


    In the virtual world, in his personal space, Lin Yuan met ck Prison Ao, the young master of the ck Prison Family.


    He was only one meter five tall, but his skin was covered in ck patterns, giving him a noble aura.


    It was said that the bloodline of the ck Prison Family was not purely human but had some exotic bloodline mixed in.


    This phenomenon wasmon in human civilization, and it was said that mating with powerful exotic races might produce a peerless genius.


    "Lin Yuan, my friend," ck Prison Ao greeted warmly.


    In order to recruit Lin Yuan and follow the business blueprint formted by the ck Prison Family''s "Think Tank," ck Prison Ao had lowered himself as much as possible.


    He longed to return to the family and ascend to the position of n leader.


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    The two sat down.


    Instead of getting straight to the point, ck Prison Ao diverted the conversation, saying, "Over the years, I''ve often watched videos of the arena matches and discovered that our human civilization has produced far too many geniuses."


    "For example, in the Dark Spirit Star Domain, there emerged a peerless genius who awakened the bloodline of the Dark Elves, with a natural affinity for the rules of darkness."


    "Such aptitude, simply cultivating any Dark Path Evolution Path at random, can easily ovee the soul transformation between Rank 5 and 6. And there''s a high chance of reaching Rank 7 in the future. It''s quite remarkable."


    ck Prison Ao said with a smile.


    "Indeed, there are too many geniuses in the universe," Lin Yuan agreed, nodding.


    Since bing one of the thirteen peak masters of the Red Kun Lineage, Lin Yuan had been browsing intelligence information from various domains of the universe.


    In a vast poption base, even the most monstrous geniuses could be born.


    However, no matter how high the potential of a genius is, they are still just geniuses, not strong individuals.


    Countless geniuses of human civilization are assassinated by alien races every year.


    The more talented one is, the more they must endure. Before reaching the sixth rank, they must remain low-key.


    "But no matter how talented one is, they still need substantial resources to support them; otherwise, their talent will only go to waste," ck Prison Ao looked at Lin Yuan.


    "Yes, talent is important. Resources are also essential," Lin Yuan nodded.


    Why is it that human civilization can produce strong individuals? It''s because human civilization has always been in an expansionary state, constantly seizing vast resources from other alien races and then feeding them back to their own strong individuals.


    "Lin Yuan, you haven''t joined any other forces yet, have you? Are you interested in joining my ck Prison Ao''s ranks?" ck Prison Ao said, then immediately added, "Lin Yuan, don''t rush to refuse."


    "For eighty years, as long as you serve me for eighty years," ck Prison Ao said earnestly, "After eighty years, you can leave at any time."


    "And during these eighty years, you can enjoy many resources that can make your evolutionary path smooth."


    "Lin Yuan, you can view all the evolutionary paths recorded by my ck Prison Family."


    "Cosmic treasures? Ster treasures? And countless evolutionary secrets? Lin Yuan, as long as you say the word, I will collect and purchase them for you."


    ck Prison Ao looked sincerely at Lin Yuan.


    In reality, most of the conditions he mentioned were empty promises.


    Even if Lin Yuan wanted to browse the evolutionary paths of the ck Prison Family, he would have to pay a considerable price, let alone someone like Lin Yuan, an outsider?


    But ck Prison Ao couldn''t care less about that now.


    First, he would bring Lin Yuan under his wing, then sign a contract.


    As for browsing the evolutionary paths of the ck Prison Family, did he say he had to wait a long time for that?


    And as for serving for eighty years, ck Prison Ao wasn''t lying either. Eighty yearster, Lin Yuan would be over a hundred years old and wouldn''t qualify to participate in the arena fights, and ck Prison Ao wouldn''t mind letting him go.


    "Serving for eighty years?" Lin Yuan remained expressionless.


    After eighty years, he estimated he would have reached the seventh rank. Would he serve a mere ck Prison Family for eighty years?


    "I''ve suppressed the arena fights so much, but I didn''t expect ck Prison Ao to still value me and be so persistent," Lin Yuan felt a bit helpless.


    He also realized that ck Prison Ao and those influential families and consortia invited him solely because of his performance in the arena fights.


    But ck Prison Ao might have noticed that Lin Yuan was hiding some of his strength in the arena fights, which was why he valued him so much and personally extended the invitation.


    "Lin Yuan, what do you think?" ck Prison Ao looked at Lin Yuan expectantly.


    He believed he had done enough. Not only did he extend the invitation personally, but he also offered more generous conditions, and even reduced the period of service to eighty years.


    "Master Ao," Lin Yuan looked at ck Prison Ao, "I''m not interested in the arena fights. There''s no need for Master Ao to spend so much effort on this."


    "Huh?" ck Prison Ao was a bit stunned.


    He rejected it.


    Lin Yuan actually refused.


    After he showed so much sincerity, Lin Yuan still rejected him?


    ck Prison Ao fell into silence.


    His previously warm expression quickly turned cold.


    He, ck Prison Ao, was not a particrly warm person to begin with. Everything he just did was a facade, to show that he valued Lin Yuan enough.


    But since Lin Yuan directly refused, there was no need to continue the facade.


    "Lin Yuan, are you sure of your choice?" ck Prison Ao asked again.


    "I''m sure," Lin Yuan nodded.


    As one of the thirteen peak masters of the Red Kun Lineage, he could not possibly join the ck Prison Family, let alone be under ck Prison Ao''smand.


    "Good."


    ck Prison Ao stood up.


    All of his enthusiasm and attention ended up being met with Lin Yuan''s unwavering refusal?


    This made ck Prison Ao feel like he had misced his sincerity.


    In terms of the degree of importance, Lin Yuan was not the most important among the two hundred or so evolvers under the ck Prison Family''s "think tank."


    But he was the first one to directly refuse ck Prison Ao''s invitation.


    "Average talent, too arrogant," ck Prison Ao looked deeply at Lin Yuan, speaking softly, then disappeared into his personal space.


    In the tier where the ck Prison Family was located, someone like Lin Yuan, a fourth rank below a hundred years old, did not have top-notch talent.


    Of course, talent had little to do with it.


    But ck Prison Ao was annoyed, feeling thatpared to talent, Lin Yuan''s arrogance was much heavier.


    "It seems I''ve offended him to death," Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    No wonder, thousands of years ago, the disciple his teacher took ended up revealing his identity voluntarily.


    In fact, when faced with ck Prison Ao''s final threats just now, Lin Yuan also wanted to directly reveal his identity as one of the thirteen peak masters.


    Then he would watch ck Prison Ao squirm in fear, kneel and beg for mercy, and even have ck Prison Ao''s family''s seven-rank evolver, ck Prison Mo,e and apologize.


    But if he did that.


    The fate of the disciple his teacher took thousands of years ago might be Lin Yuan''s fate in the future.


    Being noticed by the alien races, thenunching a frenzy of assassination.


    "I''ve been low-key enough," Lin Yuan rubbed his temples.


    From the moment he became an evolver to now, reaching the pinnacle of the fifth rank, Lin Yuan had never left the Cann Star, nor did he stir up trouble whenever possible.


    You see, a normal fifth-rank evolver would have traveled through half the gxy or even several gxies by now. While fifth-rank evolvers couldn''t survive in space, human civilization''s technology was advanced enough to allow them to travel through space using spacecraft and battleships.


    Even many sixth-rank evolvers traveled primarily by battleships and spacecraft. This was the mainstream mode of transportation in current human civilization.


    Yet Lin Yuan hadn''t even left his.


    And despite that, he was still sought out by ck Prison Ao.


    If it was just an ordinary invitation from a financial conglomerate, Lin Yuan could refuse it, but ck Prison Ao represented the ck Prison Family, one of the five major powers in the Red Kun Star Domain.


    "In fact, even if I refuse ck Prison Ao, it probably won''t lead to anything. Even if ck Prison Ao has the courage, he wouldn''t dare to act in reality," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Manyws and regtions in human civilization strictly prohibited high-ranking evolvers from attacking other civilians without cause. If vited, severe punishment would follow. If ck Prison Ao dared to secretly attack Lin Yuan, it would be difficult to escape the investigation of the Three Goddesses afterward.


    At that time, even if ck Prison Ao didn''t die, he would have to pay a heavy price, possibly even implicating the ck Prison Family.


    However...


    What if ck Prison Ao really went crazy?


    Lin Yuan considered the situationprehensively.


    After realizing that he hadpletely offended ck Prison Ao.


    He began to contact his senior brother.


    As for why he didn''t seek help from his masterif Lin Yuan had offended ck Prison Mo, the seven-rank evolver of the ck Prison Family, maybe he would ask his master for help.


    But ck Prison Ao? It was not worth his master''s intervention at all.


    The Red Kun Star Lord had already given Lin Yuan enough help. For such a small matter, Lin Yuan didn''t want to trouble his old master.


    Virtual world.


    Lin Yuan entered his senior brother''s personal space.


    His senior brother was the earliest disciple epted by the Red Kun Star Lord.


    He was also the strongest disciple, having entered the seventh rank long ago and had always been the object of study for the peak masters.


    "Junior Brother?"


    "Why do you have time toe find me?"


    The senior brother spoke gently, looking at Lin Yuan with a hint of joy on his face.


    He had apanied the Red Kun Star Lord for the longest time and naturally understood the Star Lord''s importance to Lin Yuan.


    In this senior brother''s eyes, it was a good thing for Lin Yuan to take the initiative to find him. It could strengthen the rtionship between fellow brothers.


    "Senior brother, there''s something I need your help with," Lin Yuan spoke up.

    ...


    Lin Yuan briefly exined the situation between himself and ck Prison Ao to Senior Brother.


    "How dare he?" Senior Brother shook his head. Even ck Prison Mo had to be respectful in front of him, but his little son?


    "Junior Brother."


    "How do you want to handle this matter?"


    Senior Brother casually asked.


    For him, this matter was indeed not difficult.


    Even extremely easy.


    The simplest way would be for him to personally contact ck Prison Mo.


    Make him handle his little son.


    With Senior Brother''s status, a word would be enough to shake the ck Prison Family.


    It''s estimated that ck Prison Ao would be brought back to the family the next day, and might even be bound to plead guilty to the Red Kun Main Star.


    Senior Brother knew ck Prison Mo too well, he was very good at weighing the pros and cons and judging the situation.


    Of course.


    This method also had its risks.


    That would be the very real possibility of exposing Lin Yuan''s true identity.


    If Lin Yuan chose this method, Senior Brother would advise him to go to the Red Kun Main Star before contacting ck Prison Mo.


    "Senior Brother, I still want to stay on Cann for a few more years."


    After thinking for a while, Lin Yuan said softly.


    Before reaching the Sixth Rank, Lin Yuan was not eager to go to the Red Kun Main Star.


    There were too many strong people there, even under the eyes of the Red Kun Star Lord.


    Lin Yuan had many secrets.


    Such as the Gate to the Myriad Realms.


    Such as the Martial Evolution Path.


    Before reaching the Sixth Rank, the souls of Evolvers had not yet fully integrated with the fundamental path of evolution, making it easy for their secrets to be glimpsed.


    Lin Yuan wasn''t worried about the Gate to the Myriad Realms, not even the virtual world could replicate it, and it was unlikely that the Red Kun Star Lord could detect its reality.


    But the Martial Path Evolution System was currently slowly integrating Lin Yuan''s soul towards the Martial Path Evolution Path, at a critical moment.


    If anything were to be noticed by the strong on the Red Kun Main Star, it would definitely be a significant risk.


    With the current potential of the Martial Path Evolution Path, Once the identity of its founder was exposed, it would be far more serious than Lin Yuan exposing the identity of the Thirteenth Peaks Master of the Red Kun Lineage.


    "Do you not want to leave Cann Star?"


    Senior Brother rubbed his chin.


    This meant that he couldn''t openly warn the ck Prison Family.


    "I know what to do now."


    Senior Brother nodded and looked at Lin Yuan, saying, "Junior Brother, rest assured, you just focus on cultivating on Cann Star, there''s absolutely no possibility that ck Prison Ao would make a move against you."


    "Nor would any Evolvers of the ''divination'' type of evolutionary paths capture any information about Junior Brother''s true identity."


    Senior Brother''s expression was slightly solemn.


    Evolvers of the ''divination'' type of evolutionary paths were individually weak, but they had considerable influence on the overall situation.


    In the history of human civilization, there were many top-notch diviners who used the universe as a chessboard,ying out many peak tribes as pieces.


    However, top-notch diviners were extremely rare, and the current top-notch diviners of human civilization all resided in the central star domain of humanity, thousands of light-years apart,ying out other tribes.


    "Then I thank Senior Brother."


    Lin Yuan said seriously.


    It was already rare for Senior Brother, at his level, to agree to Lin Yuan''s request without hesitation.


    Even if other Seventh-Rank Evolvers wanted to ask Senior Brother to do something, it might not necessarily seed.


    "Between brothers, there''s no need for thanks."


    Senior Brother said indifferently, "I''m still waiting for Junior Brother to reach the Sixth Rank and have a drink with me."


    Cann Star, Central Continent Manor.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes and felt relieved.


    Although he was almost certain that ck Prison Ao wouldn''t act rashly.


    But extreme possibilities also had to be considered. After getting Senior Brother''s promise, Lin Yuan instantly rxed.


    "Sixth Rank."


    "As long as I can reach the Sixth Rank."


    "My soulpletely integrates with the Martial Path Evolution Path."


    "Outsiders will never be able to figure out which evolutionary path I''m practicing."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The Sixth Rank was also a qualitative change for Lin Yuan.


    This change wasn''t just in strength, but also in identity.


    As long as he reached the Sixth Rank, his ability to preserve his life would greatly increase, and he could openly reveal the identity of the Thirteenth Peaks Master, appearing in front of everyone in his true form.


    No need to hide like now.


    Personal space.


    ck Prison Ao sat on the throne, his face dark.


    "Young Master."


    An old man in a ck suit, Beizhao, appeared and bowed to ck Prison Ao on the throne.


    "That Lin Yuan rejected me."


    ck Prison Ao looked down at Beizhao.


    "Even Young Master''s personal invitation was rejected?" Beizhao looked astonished.


    How much of an honor was it for the direct descendants of the ck Prison Family to personally invite someone? How dare Lin Yuan refuse?


    "So, Young Master, what do you n to do?"


    Beizhao, dressed in ck, asked tentatively.


    "What to do?"


    "What do you think I should do?"


    ck Prison Ao asked.


    "He''s just a genius from a backward average life, if he refuses Young Master''s invitation, that''s his loss, Young Master doesn''t need to care, just continue to recruit other Evolvers."


    Beizhao suggested cautiously.


    His meaning was, it''s better to let it go, there''s no need to waste time on such a person.


    "No."


    "He''s not an ordinary genius."


    ck Prison Ao roared lowly.


    Lin Yuan was part of the ck Prison Family''s ''think tank'', designated as one of the 223 Evolvers.


    With the potential to shine in the regional level arenapetition, he could earn a huge fortune for ck Prison Ao, so such a genius must be controlled by him.


    "Young Master insists on having Lin Yuan?"


    Beizhao continued to ask.


    "Yes."


    ck Prison Ao nodded.


    "It''s not difficult, but it''s troublesome."


    Beizhao pondered for a moment.


    "Go on." ck Prison Ao''s spirits lifted.


    "Since Lin Yuan is unwilling to join Young Master''s side, then force him to join Young Master''s side." Beizhao spoke up.


    "Force?"


    ck Prison Ao frowned, "But we can''t vite thews and regtions of the Alliance."


    The cost of viting thews and regtions of the Alliance was significant, and even if he were to vite them, ck Prison Ao would only do so at a crucial moment.


    Such as when contending for the position of n chief.


    It wasn''t worth it to vite them for Lin Yuan.


    "That''s natural."


    Beizhao nodded.


    He hadn''t considered vitingws and regtions either.


    "The reason why Lin Yuan doesn''t want to join Young Master''s side should be due to his attachment to Cann Star, his nostalgia for his home."


    Beizhao said.


    Homes did indeed hold a special ce in the hearts of many Evolvers.


    Powerful Evolvers roamed the vast expanse of the universe, experiencings with vastly different customs, but there was only ever one home.


    "Go on."


    ck Prison Ao looked at Beizhao.


    "In that case, we can start from Cann Star."


    Beizhao paused for a moment, then continued, "If I remember correctly, the ck Prison Family has had many trade dealings with Cann Star in previous years?"


    As one of the five major forces in the Red Kun Star Domain, the ck Prison Family had traded with most of thes in the region.


    This was quite normal, as some rare minerals and scarce raw materials on Cann Star needed to be quickly mized through the ck Prison Family''s Chamber of Commerce.


    And some shopping channels were also through the ck Prison Family.


    "What do you mean by that?"


    ck Prison Ao''s eyes lit up.


    "With Young Master''s status, you have the ability topletely cut off the trade between the family and Cann Star."


    "By then, Young Master can make it clear that the reason why the family doesn''t trade with Cann Star anymore is entirely because that Lin Yuan doesn''t know what''s good for him."


    Beizhao smiled slightly, "If nothing unexpected happens, Lin Yuan will bear the me of countless citizens of Cann Star, and may even be a criminal for the entire. I''m afraid that by then, he will know the power and status of Young Master and will voluntarily submit."


    "Correct, correct."


    A smile appeared on ck Prison Ao''s face.


    Cutting off trade with Cann Star did not vite thews and regtions of the Alliance. After all, human civilization advocated free trade. If I don''t want to trade with you, do the Three Goddesses have to force them?


    "This method may cost Young Master some connections, as cutting off interster trade with Cann Star is a mutually harmful method."


    Beizhao asked cautiously.


    ck Prison Ao was currently in a stage of being tested by the family, and he didn''t have many resources to use.


    "It doesn''t matter."


    "It''s not a big deal."


    ck Prison Ao shook his head.


    Cutting off trade with Cann Star could simply choose others, it just increased the cost a bit.


    As a noble, ck Prison Ao still had this bit of power.


    "You may leave."


    ck Prison Ao looked down at Beizhao.


    "Yes."


    Beizhao, the old man in a ck suit, disappeared into the distance.


    On the throne, ck Prison Ao pondered for a moment, then began to contact an elder.


    After a moment.


    In front of ck Prison Ao, a virtual screen appeared.


    A man in a loose coat looked at ck Prison Ao.


    "Xiao Ao, what do you want from me?"


    The man in the loose coat asked faintly.


    "Second Uncle."


    ck Prison Ao had already stood up from the throne and bowed respectfully.


    "Second Uncle, I want to cut off all trade between the family and Cann Star."


    ck Prison Ao directly expressed his thoughts.


    "Cann Star?"


    The man in the loose coat called up information about this and frowned, "It''s just an average life, how did it offend you, Xiao Ao?"


    The man in the loose coat was a senior member of the ck Prison Family, responsible for all trade in the Dawn Gxy. As long as he was willing, cutting off trade with Cann Star was just a matter of words.


    "I want to recruit a genius Evolver from Cann Star to participate in the regional level arenapetition for me, but he refused."


    ck Prison Ao said.


    "Just for this?"


    The man in the loose coat frowned.


    If it was only because they hadn''t recruited the person they wanted and they used the power of the ck Prison Family to suppress the other party for this reason, the man in the loose coat would be very disappointed in ck Prison Ao.


    "Second Uncle, this person is very important to me."


    ck Prison Ao gritted his teeth and revealed the matter of the family''s ''think tank''.


    "So it''s the genius Evolver chosen by the ''think tank''." The man in the loose coat''s expression changed slightly.


    For hundreds of thousands of years, the ck Prison Family''s ''think tank'' had achieved countless merits.


    Especially the chief of the ''think tank'', who had suggested to ck Prison Mo to move the entire family to the Red Kun Star Domain in the first ce.


    This was how the illustrious ck Prison Family came to be.


    "I will cut off trade with Cann Star."


    "Xiao Ao, you also need to work hard and show the people in the n."


    After the man in the loose coat finished speaking, he ended the call with ck Prison Ao.


    "Mr. Lin, if you refuse the recruitment of ck Prison Ao, he will definitely take further actions. There is a high probability that he will tamper with interster trade with Cann Star."


    Inside the main mansion of the estate, Captain Hou Ming analyzed.


    "I also think so."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    With his parents and sister in the mansion, and the entire family protected by the''s defense system, plus the monitoring of the Goddess of Wisdom, ck Prison Ao couldn''t find a way to threaten Lin Yuan at all.


    With the ck Prison Family''s power, all they could do was cut off trade with Cann Star and then put pressure on Lin Yuan.


    "That ck Prison Ao thinks that I don''t ept his recruitment because I attach great importance to Cann Star and am reluctant to leave here."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    "Even if trade with Cann Star is canceled and all the me is ced on Mr. Lin, at most, it will only make other citizens of Cann Star have some opinions."


    "As long as Mr. Lin doesn''t care about these, it won''t have any impact."


    The captain of the guard sneaked a nce at Lin Yuan.


    In fact, what he said was simple, but when endless public opinion came crashing down on oneself, the feelings and perceptions of the person at the center of public opinion would be different.


    "I won''t care."


    Lin Yuan shook his head.


    Even if he had be Xiahou Yuan, the notorious viin, who was cursed by everyone in the Five Realms after his fourth transmigration, Lin Yuan didn''t care, let alone now?


    "What we need to pay attention to now is whether ck Prison Ao, after cutting off trade with Cann Star, will take any other extreme actions that may affect Mr. Lin."


    Captain Hou Ming''s face showed a hint of worry.


    People are not rational beings; they have emotions, desires, and naturally, impulses.


    Hou Ming was worried that ck Prison Ao would act recklessly, even though the likelihood of this was very low.


    "It doesn''t matter."


    Lin Yuan remained calm.


    He had already seen the Senior Brother and informed him of ck Prison Ao''s actions.


    Senior Brother also promised that nothing unexpected would happen.


    "I wonder what Senior Brother ns to do to prevent ck Prison Ao?"


    Lin Yuan suddenly felt curious.


    Cann Star, spaceshipnding area.


    A bald man walked out.


    "Wow, is this Cann Star? The ce where my little junior brother grew up?"


    The bald man took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and looked like he was enjoying himself.


    "If my little junior brother wants to practice quietly on Cann Star for a few years and doesn''t want to be disturbed by ck Prison Ao, the most secure way is for me toe personally to oversee Cann Star."


    "With me here on Cann Star, ck Prison Mo will have to leave if hees."


    The bald man left the spaceshipnding area and found a ce to stay casually.


    With his strength, a single thought was enough to envelop the entire Cann Star, and even the''s defense system did not detect his presence.


    "This avatar of mine was recently condensed, and the outside world is unaware of it. My true self is stationed on the main star of Red Kun. Those ''divination'' type Evolvers don''t know the existence of this avatar, so it''s impossible for them to divine any useful information."


    The bald man looked towards the direction of the central continent.


    He only sensed the aura of the central continent slightly and did not delve deeper, so Lin Yuan would not notice.


    "It''s only been a few decades. As long as I can leave a good impression on my little junior brother, it''spletely worth it."


    The bald man now hoped that ck Prison Ao would act impulsively.


    At least he could show his worth and it wouldn''t be a wasted trip.


    ...


    I need POWAAAA :D

 Chapter 138

    Chapter 138


    "ck Prison Ao, you need to pull yourself together."


    "It would be best to send a team of six-rank evolvers toe and let me crush them."


    "Then I''ll make a big move to save Junior Brother in a righteous manner amidst danger. This way, won''t Junior Brother be moved to tears?"


    The bald manzily leaned back in his chair by the roadside, feeling quite pleased with himself.


    With his status and position, he could naturally directly warn the ck Prison Family. But doing so would not fulfill Junior Brother''s request to continue cultivating on Cann Star for a few more years.


    The personal warning from the Red Kun Lineage''s Peak Master would undoubtedly attract attention from numerous forces in this star region and neighboring ones.


    For example


    What exactly happened to prompt the Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage to personally warn the ck Prison Family?


    It was because of that little son of ck Prison Mo.


    However insignificant this person was, why would he attract the attention of the Peak Master?


    Oh, it''s because this little son, using the power of the ck Prison Family, oppressed a talented evolver named Lin Yuan on Cann Star.


    How could a mere talented evolver from a medium-sized life attract the attention of the illustrious Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage?


    Once this conclusion is drawn, people will surely specte on Lin Yuan''s true identity. Could it be rted to the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage? Or perhaps, it is the Thirteenth Peak Master himself?


    Of course, such spections might be just one of many.


    But when ites to the mysterious Thirteenth Peak Master, even if it''s just a possibility or spection, once it''s known to other races, they won''t easily let it go.


    They would rather make a mistake than let the future Thirteenth Peak Master grow.


    Of course.


    The bald man could also secretly warn the ck Prison Family, warning ck Prison Mo.


    But if ck Prison Ao reacts abnormally afterward, such as suddenly letting go of Lin Yuan or suddenly being recalled to the ck Prison Family, it would still arouse external reactions. Those ''divination'' type evolvers would deduce useful information based on some trivial information and rumors.


    And.


    The bald man didn''tpletely trust the ck Prison Family. Even if he warned them in secret, many external forces wouldn''t know, but wouldn''t the ck Prison Family eventually find out? What if they have other intentions?


    So, for the bald man, the safest way is to personally stay on Cann Star.


    As long as he is there, no matter what changes ur outside, even if Cann Star copses and the nearby star systems are destroyed, he is confident that Junior Brother will not suffer any harm.


    Although the body he has now is a recently condensed avatar, it is not much weaker than his main body.


    And because it has never been revealed, the outside world is unaware of this avatar of his, used to protect Junior Brother, and it won''t be noticed by some cunning ''divination'' type evolvers.


    At the Central Continent Manor.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged in the underground training ground.


    "What a pity."


    "Ever since I uploaded the ''Fifth Rank'' chapter of the martial path evolution, the Goddess of Wisdom has actively lifted the information blockade on me and fabricated a normal growth trajectory."


    Lin Yuan sighed.


    Information blockade serves as both protection and warning.


    If someone wants to deal with Lin Yuan and then checks his information, finding it blocked would make them cautious.


    But if a citizen whose information is blocked exceeds a certain limit of importance, then the information blockade starts to feel like a self-exposure.


    Indeed, citizens whose information is blocked are not limited to the founder of the evolutionary path. There are geniuses in the evolutionary field, culinary field, scientific research field, artistic field, and so on.


    But now, martial path evolvers have the possibility to advance to the eighth rank of evolutionary path. In other words, Lin Yuan has the potential to be a new evolutionary schr in the future.


    For such an important figure, if their information is blocked, it bes risky for others to check it, as they may draw attention.


    How to truly protect a talent?


    That is to make this talent indistinguishable from others.


    Even if others check Lin Yuan''s information, they would only see the information fabricated by the Goddess of Wisdom, thinking that Lin Yuan is just an ordinary Fourth Rank evolver at most, with some talent, and may advance to the Fifth Rank in the future.


    That''s it.


    In this way, even if targeted, it wouldn''t be too much, not worth it for other races to spend a huge price to assassinate.


    Of course, an evolver worthy of having their information personally fabricated by the Goddess of Wisdom must be highly important, so they would surely have other means of protection arranged.


    On the other side of Cann Star.


    A dwarf-like man was enjoying some food.


    "Well, although this is backward, the food is not bad."


    The dwarf-like man walked casually, causing many young and beautiful female citizens around him to retreat in fear.


    "What''s wrong?"


    "Haven''t seen a Ratkin before?"


    The dwarf-like man patted his round belly, unconcerned.


    The Ratkin. One of the ster races thatpletely surrendered to human civilization, has been fully integrated into the human race for millions of years. However, they are still not verymon on some medium-sized lifes.


    "The women on this really don''t fit my aesthetic. How can theypare to those cute little potatoes of the Ratkin?"


    The dwarf-like man walked for a while, then stopped, looking in the direction of the maind from afar.


    "The Goddess of Wisdom went to great lengths. In order to protect that person, she forcibly transferred me from the border battlefield, toe to this secretly and act as a bodyguard."


    The dwarf-like man sighed.


    As a pinnacle existence of the Seventh Rank, even on the border battlefield, he could kill everywhere, with unparalleled prestige. But now, he had to wander around on a medium-sized life.


    "However, the more so, it also proves the higher importance of that person. The Goddess wouldn''t do meaningless things, let alone waste alliance resources," the dwarf man thought to himself.


    "The task the Goddess gave me is to protect that talented evolver named ''Lin Yuan'' until the sixth rank," the dwarf man also looked up information about ''Lin Yuan''.


    Of course, the information he found was all fabricated by the Goddess of Wisdom.


    "Just when Lin Yuan is only at the fourth rank, although he has some talent and is expected to reach the fifth rank, but the sixth rank..." the dwarf man felt like he would have to stay on this for hundreds of years more.


    "Let''s just take a break," the dwarf man decided not to think too much.


    Half a monthter.


    The trade between the ck Prison Family and Cann Star gradually ceased.


    For a moment, many corporate conglomerates on Cann Star fell into panic.


    These conglomerates relied on trading with the ck Prison Family to make profits, but now the ck Prison Family would rather breach the contract and pay the penalty than continue the rtionship with Cann Star.


    Naturally, this made these conglomerates quite anxious.


    "What''s going on?"


    "Weren''t we cooperating well before?"


    "The rare metals developed by our group can only be handled by the ck Prison Family. If they leave, who else can we cooperate with?"


    The business circle of Cann Star erupted into discussions.


    "Lord ck Prison Ao, why did you cut off trade with Cann Star?" a director of a group contacted a member of the ck Prison Family responsible for trade with Cann Star.


    If it was just one or twopanies stopping cooperation, it might be an emergency situation, but now, all the ck Prison Family''s business rted to Cann Star had been suspended.


    Obviously, there was someone influential targeting Cann Star behind the scenes.


    "Don''t know?"


    "Don''t you know what you''ve done on Cann Star?"


    ck Prison Ao''s expression was arrogant as he frowned.


    "I really don''t know," the group director looked helpless, "I hope Lord can point it out, so we can see if there''s any chance of remedy."


    "There''s an evolver on your named Lin Yuan, right??" ck Prison Ao''s tone was forceful. "This Lin Yuan actually dared to refuse MY invitation. I was so sincere, offering such generous conditions, but he rejected me!"


    "Is this looking down on our ck Prison Family? Your Cann Star actually produced such a citizen, so our ck Prison Family doesn''t need to continue cooperating with you."


    After saying that, ck Prison Ao directly severed the connection.


    "Lin Yuan?"


    This group director felt a chill in his heart. He naturally knew who Lin Yuan wasthe champion of thest arenapetition, a prominent figure on Cann Star.


    But now, Lin Yuan had actually offended the huge ck Prison Family?


    The changes in public opinion on Cann Star were naturally seen by Lin Yuan.


    "ck Prison Ao is indeed suppressing Cann Star in trade, shifting all the public opinion pressure onto me," Lin Yuan thought to himself as he browsed through the virtual world.


    Now on Cann Star, the public opinion had started ming Lin Yuan.


    ming Lin Yuan for why he refused Young Master Ao''s invitation. ming Lin Yuan for why he implicated Cann Star. ming Lin Yuan for why he still hasn''t apologized to ck Prison Ao until now.


    Various pressures and criticisms all fell on Lin Yuan''s head.


    Being condemned by the world. Being pointed at by thousands.


    It was not enough to describe it.


    "That ck Prison Ao thinks that because I''m young and my mindset is poor, I can''t withstand the pressure from hundreds of millions of people? And finally beg him for mercy?" A hint of mockery appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    In fact, ordinary people, even four-rank evolvers, might not be able to withstand such immense pressure.


    But Lin Yuan was not an ordinary person. After experiencing four transmigration and the passage of seven to eight hundred years, if Lin Yuan couldn''t bear this pressure, then it would truly be futile.


    "Breaking the deadlock is also simple."


    "Using the influence of the Red Kun Lineage."


    "But if I do this, I''ll have to go to the Red Kun main star in advance, and the secret of practicing the martial path evolution pathway may also be exposed."


    Lin Yuan''s face remained calm as his thoughts circted.


    In addition, the best way is naturally to ignore external pressure. As long as he breaks through to the sixth rank, all the problems will naturally be resolved.


    Cann Star''s virtual world.


    Led by Governor Song Wuyang, responsible persons of many current corporate conglomerates discussed countermeasures against the ck Prison Family''s cut-off trade.


    "Speak up."


    "What''s the situation now?"


    Governor Song Wuyang sat in the main seat, looking at the people participating in the meeting.


    "Governor Song, the ck Prison Group voluntarily cut off contact. Although theypensated the standard breach of contract fee ording to the contract, these penalty fees can only solve the immediate problem."


    "Now the most important thing is to find new trading partners. But the influence of the ck Prison Family is too great.


    Even though they are willing to pay the breach of contract fee, they still want to cut off rtions with Cann Star. This scene makes other forces afraid to approach us."


    Thes that the ck Prison Family gave up trading. Will other forces take over? Are they nning to be enemies with the ck Prison Family?


    It is precisely out of this concern that even if the conglomerate forces on Cann Star offer low prices and give up most of the profits, no forcees to take over.


    In the Red Kun Star Domain, the ck Prison Family is one of the five behemoth forces, and there is even a trend of standing above the other four forces.


    "What I''m worried about is that as time goes by, other forces trading with us on Cann Star will also gradually withdraw," an old man spoke, expressing his concerns.


    "When the wall falls, everyone pushes," this phrase has always been true.


    Once this really happens, all trade channels of Cann Star may be blocked, and in the long run, there may be a possibility of falling to a lower life.


    "I understand."


    "What''s your solution?"


    "The simplest solution is naturally to have that Lin Yuan apologize to Young Master Ao of the ck Prison Family voluntarily."


    A participant whispered.


    As soon as this was said, everyone else nodded.


    Only if Lin Yuan yielded to Young Master Ao, would the crisis on Cann Star be resolved naturally, and trade with the ck Prison Family would be restored.


    "Since Mr. Lin is unwilling, how can I force him?"


    "Let''s talk about other methods."


    Governor Song Wuyang shook his head. This method was indeed the simplest, but it was also the most difficult.


    Lin Yuan was a four-rank evolver and also the champion of the arenapetition. If such a genius were forced, he might immigrate to another in desperation. Wouldn''t that be a loss for Cann Star?


    "Other methods. That is to continue looking for new trading partners. In the Red Kun Star Domain, there are always forces that are not afraid of the ck Prison Family."


    Someone sighed.


    However, this method is easier said than done. Can trading partners be found just because they are sought? And now that Cann Star has been cklisted by the ck Prison Family, trying to get other forces to cooperate by risking offending the ck Prison Family would certainly require significant concessions.


    In the Central Maind Manor.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    He nced outside the main building.


    Although he was not affected by public opinion, his parents and sister, Lin Yi, seemed a bit disheartened, probably seeing thements about Lin Yuan on the inte.


    Cutting off someone''s financial path is like killing their parents.


    Even though Lin Yuan was a four-rank evolver, even though Lin Yuan was the champion of the arenapetition, there were still people daring to angrily curse him on the inte.


    Of course.


    This was only limited to the inte.


    So far, Lin Yuan had not witnessed any scenes of unidentified citizens near the manor.


    With Lin Yuan''s strength and status, they only dared to curse him online. As for confronting him in reality? Confronting a four-rank evolver? That would require at least the strength of a five-rank evolver.


    And a five-rank evolver would not offend Lin Yuan because of this matter.


    "Wait a little longer."


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes. As long as he stepped into the sixth rank, everything would be over.


    Just as Lin Yuan was about to seclude himself.


    The intelligent assistant suddenly reminded Lin Yuan.


    "Master, someone is looking for you."


    "Who?" Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.


    "It''s Fang Qing."


    Virtual world.


    Personal space.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared.


    He immediately clicked the button to ept the request.


    Shortly after.


    Fang Qing appeared in front of him.


    But Fang Qing''s figure was not yetpletely clear.


    An angry voice came through.


    "That damn ck Prison Ao actually dared to suppress Cann Star while I was away?"


    "Who gave him the courage to do this?"


    ...

 Chapter 139

    Chapter 139


    Personal space.


    Fang Qing grumbled.


    Full of disdain and contempt for ck Prison Ao.


    Using family power to oppress Lin Yuan, such an evolver.


    Even implicating the entire Cann Star, forcing Lin Yuan toply.


    In Fang Qing''s view, this was a loss of identity, a disgrace to the ck Prison Family.


    "Brother Lin, don''t worry, I probably understand the situation."


    Fang Qing looked at Lin Yuan and said.


    Since passing the Seven Star Cave test, Fang Qing had taken the Red Kun Lineage''s spaceship to the main star of Red Kun.


    There, Fang Qing had many things to do, evenmunication with Lin Yuan became less frequent.


    After all, joining the Red Kun Lineage did not mean having a carefree life.


    As a member of the Red Kun Lineage, Fang Qing needed to face variouspetitions, leaving little free time.


    "I really don''t want to be under ck Prison Ao."


    Lin Yuan shook his head.


    "I know."


    Fang Qing nodded.


    "Leave this matter to me."


    Fang Qing sounded confident.


    Now he was a member of the Red Kun Lineage.


    And the Red Kun Lineage was the undisputed master of the Red Kun Star Domain, any evolver associated with the Red Kun Lineage could rise to great heights.


    Moreover, Fang Qing was an official member of the Red Kun Lineage.


    "We''ll try diplomacy first."


    "Let''s meet with ck Prison Ao first."


    Fang Qing said calmly.


    If he could negotiate with ck Prison Ao himself and make them give up targeting Cann Star, then everyone would be happy.


    If ck Prison Ao refused, Fang Qing also had a solution.


    "Thank you."


    Lin Yuan said slightly moved.


    Facing the suppression of the ck Prison Family, Lin Yuan was fearless because he knew his true strength.


    But Fang Qing didn''t know that.


    Despite the enormous public pressure on Cann Star, Fang Qing still stood by his side without hesitation, which was indeedmendable.


    Next.


    In front of Lin Yuan.


    Fang Qing dialed ck Prison Ao''s contact information.


    After a moment.


    The shadow of ck Prison Ao appeared in front of Fang Qing.


    "Brother Fang, long time no see."


    ck Prison Ao looked at Fang Qing, a smile on his face.


    In this Seven Star Cave test, there were only three hundred or so evolvers who passed, and as a force of the Red Kun Lineage, the ck Prison Family naturally remembered these three hundred people very clearly.


    Even during the celebration ceremony of the Thirteenth Peak Master, Fang Qing and the other three hundred new members of the Red Kun Lineage had contact with forces like the ck Prison Family, and at that time ck Prison Ao had exchanged a few words with Fang Qing.


    "ck Prison Ao, I won''t beat around the bush."


    Fang Qing got straight to the point, "Do you know which Ie from?"


    "What do you mean, Brother Fang?" ck Prison Ao''s smile quickly disappeared.


    He naturally knew Fang Qing came from Cann Star, but so what?


    He was only targeting Lin Yuan, as long as Lin Yuan bowed to him, the suppression of Cann Star would stop.


    Overall, Cann Star would only lose some economic benefits, which wouldn''t affect the whole situation.


    "Brother Lin is my best friend, and Cann Star is also my home. Your little tricks, you better take them back."


    Fang Qing said.


    "Oh?"


    ck Prison Ao''s expression remained unchanged, "What tricks? I don''t know what you''re talking about?"


    "You''re still pretending?"


    Fang Qing sneered, "You let the high-level members of the ck Prison Family interrupt trade with Cann Star and spread the news that all this is because Brother Lin didn''t ept your solicitation. Do you think I can''t see through such small tricks?"


    "Brother Fang misunderstood, interrupting trade with Cann Star was the decision of the high-level members of the family. They believe that Cann Star is not suitable for further cooperation. What does that have to do with me?"


    ck Prison Ao refused to admit it.


    In any case, he couldn''t leave any handle, Fang Qing came from the Red Kun Lineage, even if he was just an ordinary member, he couldn''t directly conflict with him.


    Moreover, interrupting trade with Cann Star was legal andpliant, even the Goddess of Wisdom couldn''t find any fault with it, so Fang Qing couldn''t catch him.


    "ck Prison Ao, are you sure you want to be enemies with me?"


    Fang Qing stared at ck Prison Ao, saying word by word.


    "Brother Fang, whether we''re enemies or not, I don''t have that ability."


    ck Prison Ao shook his head.


    "Very well."


    Fang Qing directly ended the call with ck Prison Ao.


    "This ck Prison Ao, impossible to reason with."


    Fang Qing rolled his eyes, "It seems that Brother Lin''s charm is indeed too great, making ck Prison Ao unwilling topromise even at the risk of offending the Red Kun Lineage."


    "But it''s not a big problem."


    Fang Qing stood up, looking at Lin Yuan, "Brother Lin, you just wait for my good news."


    After saying that.


    Fang Qing disappeared on the spot.


    Watching Fang Qing leave.


    Lin Yuan''s face fell into contemtion.


    He had indeed overlooked Fang Qing''s presence.


    It could be said that if anyone from the Red Kun Lineage came forward to help Lin Yuan resolve the suppression from the ck Prison Family.


    It would attract the attention of many forces, exposing Lin Yuan''s identity to the risk.


    But only Fang Qing wouldn''t.


    Because Fang Qing also came from Cann Star and had participated in the arena match with Lin Yuan, the two had a good rtionship.


    Now that Lin Yuan was targeted by the ck Prison Family and Fang Qing had joined the Red Kun Lineage, he had the ability to solve this matter. If he lent a hand, even the most top-notch ''divination'' masters couldn''t figure out anything unusual, they would just find it very normal and reasonable.


    Inside the magnificent pce.


    ck Prison Ao sat on the throne.


    "Young master, by not giving face to that Fang Qing, are you sure..."


    Beizhao, who had witnessed the entire process just now, had a worried look on his face.


    "Rest assured."


    "That Fang Qing is just an ordinary member of the Red Kun Lineage, he can''t represent the whole lineage."


    ck Prison Ao shook his head, "Besides, I didn''t directly confront him, I have nothing to worry about. What can he do to me?"


    If it were a core member of the Red Kun Lineage, ck Prison Ao might have to swallow his pride andpromise, but just an ordinary member? Especially one who had recently joined?


    ck Prison Ao didn''t think there would be any hidden dangers. As long as he could return to the family smoothly and sit on the patriarch''s throne, then everything would be worth it.


    In the virtual world of the Red Kun Main Star.


    Within a temporarily opened estate world.


    Fang Qing and over three hundred other figures sat in front of a huge round table.


    These three hundred figures were all evolvers who had joined the Red Kun Lineage in the same batch as Fang Qing.


    They were the ones who had passed the Seven Star Cave test.


    Within the Red Kun Lineage, the thirteen peak masters were high above, and the backgrounds of the members below varied.


    Therefore, members who joined in the same batch often had closer rtionships, as they were considered part of the same ''cohort.''


    "Fang Qing, you called us here, what''s the matter?"


    "Yes, if there''s anything between us, just say it."


    At the round table, several evolvers spoke up.


    But most of the evolvers remained silent and did not express their opinions.


    Among them were the silver-haired woman, Silver Spirit, the three-eyed man, and the nearly three-meter-tall strong man.


    As Crimson Marks participants in the Seven Star Cave test, these three had a significant status even after joining the Red Kun Lineage.


    Their presence at this moment was entirely due to their respect for Fang Qing''s face.


    "Everyone."


    Fang Qing looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "My hometown, Cann Star, is currently being suppressed by the ck Prison Family."


    "They have interrupted trade with Cann Star and implemented despicable economic sanctions. I urge you all to persuade the forces behind you to trade with Cann Star."


    Fang Qing said earnestly.


    The most heinous impact of the ck Prison Family interrupting trade with Cann Star was not losing the ck Prison Family as a partner.


    It was the subsequent series of negative impacts.


    Other forces might follow suit after seeing the ck Prison Family withdraw.


    To prevent this scene from happening, they must quickly rebuild trade channels with other forces.


    The ''other forces'' here first had to show that they were not afraid of the ck Prison Family.


    Only by re-establishing stable trade rtions could Lin Yuan be removed from the center of public opinion.


    Many of the evolvers present were official members of the Red Kun Lineage. Their backgrounds meant that they didn''t care much about the ck Prison Family.


    "I see."


    "The despicable ck Prison Family."


    "Relying on their size, they bully the weak everywhere."


    "Brother Fang Qing, count me in for this favor."


    At the round table, many evolvers expressed solidarity and immediately promised to help.


    Of course.


    The reason these evolvers said so was solely because of Fang Qing''s face.


    By agreeing to Fang Qing''s request at this moment, he owed them a favor, and in the future, if they had any requests, Fang Qing would be obliged to help.


    "Cann Star?"


    At this moment, the three-eyed man spoke up, "If I remember correctly, this incident was caused by ck Prison Ao of the ck Prison Family, trying to recruit that Lin Yuan, which led to the current situation?"


    "Fang Qing, you just need to wait for a while. As long as that Lin Yuan voluntarily submits, the trade suppression on Cann Star will disappear. Are you sure you want to use so many favors to help your friend?"


    The three-eyed man looked at Fang Qing with interest.


    The other evolvers at the round table also looked at Fang Qing.


    They didn''t care whether the ck Prison Family bullied the weak or not.


    The reason so many evolvers were following Fang Qing''s lead was purely out of favor.


    After all, this matter meant nothing to them; it was just about opening up another trade route.


    Under everyone''s gaze.


    Fang Qing''s brow furrowed slightly.


    In his mind, he couldn''t help but recall the advice of his teacher, the old man with a white beard, when he first learned about the situation on Cann Star.


    "Help, you must help."


    "Even if it means bankrupting yourself."


    The old man with a white beard understood the situation very well and couldn''t help but roar.


    "Huh?"


    Fang Qing was stunned.


    He did want to help, and he had even begun to consider a way out for Lin Yuan.


    But he couldn''t quite understand the excitement of the white-bearded old man.


    "Fool."


    The old man with the white beard nced at Fang Qing.


    "I ask you, if you hadn''t joined the Red Kun Lineage, and faced with ck Prison Ao''s recruitment, would you have agreed or not?"


    The old man with the white beard asked back.


    "I... I probably would have agreed."


    Fang Qing thought carefully and nodded.


    Without joining the Red Kun Lineage, he would have had no background to rely on. Faced with the massive entity that was the ck Prison Family, he wouldn''t have had the confidence to resist or refuse.


    Unless he stayed on the for the rest of his life without going out, otherwise, as soon as he ventured out for exploration, he would have to guard against the ck Prison Family''s actions.


    "Then tell me, is your Brother Lin stupid?"


    The old man with the white beard continued to ask.


    "Brother Lin is certainly not stupid."


    Fang Qing said without hesitation.


    "What do you mean?"


    Fang Qing suddenly realized.


    "Your Brother Lin is not stupid, but he made a seemingly foolish decision. Why do you think that is?"


    The old man with the white beard guided.


    "Brother Lin has other cards, and he doesn''t take the ck Prison Family, no, he doesn''t take ck Prison Ao seriously."


    Fang Qing said excitedly.


    "At least you have some brains."


    The old man with the white beard said with satisfaction, "Helping your Brother Lin now is like sending charcoal in snowy weather, do you understand?"


    "I''m sure."


    At the round table, Fang Qing looked at the many evolvers and nodded, "Each one of you who helps me today, I promise one favor in return. If you have anything in the future, juste to me directly."


    "Hmph."


    Seeing this, the three-eyed man snorted coldly and disappeared instantly.


    He was toozy to bother with these trivial matters, and Fang Qing''s favor meant even less to him.


    However.


    Except for a few individuals like the Three-Eyed n man, most evolvers still sided with Fang Qing.


    Even the silver-haired woman, Silver Spirit, promised to speak to the forces behind her.


    After all, this matter posed no difficulty for them; even if they helped, it wouldn''t cost much effort.


    Virtual world, personal space.


    ck Prison Ao''s expression darkened.


    "Damn it," ck Prison Ao squinted his eyes, "I didn''t expect Fang Qing to be willing to expend so much favor for Lin Yuan, to establish trade rtions with so many fellow disciples and the Cann Star."


    ck Prison Ao felt somewhat helpless.


    Originally, he thought Fang Qing was just joking around, showing off for Lin Yuan.


    He didn''t expect him to really stand up for Lin Yuan and pay such a high price.


    "And the Red Kun Lineage, are they really so united that they stand against my ck Prison Family with Fang Qing?"


    ck Prison Ao''s expression grew even darker.


    "Young Master."


    "What should we do now?"


    Below the great hall, Beizhao asked tentatively.


    "What should we do?"


    "What else can we do?"


    "Do I dare to oppose the mighty Red Kun Lineage?"


    ck Prison Ao waved his hand dismissively. "If I dare to do that, I''ll be forcibly taken back by the family."


    Pretending to be ignorant in front of Fang Qing wasn''t a serious consequence, and it had nothing to do with the Red Kun Lineage.


    But now, if he dared to intervene, he would truly be at odds with the Red Kun Lineage. So many members of the Red Kun Lineage had stepped forward, and ck Prison Ao naturally knew what to do.


    Time passed.


    Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.


    Central Continent Manor.


    Lin Yuan finished his cultivation and nced at thework.


    "Well, the influence of the ck Prison Family has basically been eliminated."


    Lin Yuan stepped out of the underground training ground.


    In the past half year, with many members of the Red Kun Lineage stepping forward, they managed to persuade the forces behind them to establish trade with the Cann Star.


    Naturally, there wasn''t much influence left from the ck Prison Family.


    As for the online criticisms of Lin Yuan, they had long disappeared without a trace.


    The whole thing seemed as if nothing had ever happened.


    "This is human nature."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. He didn''t mind, but the recent mood of his parents and sister had improved visibly at an eye-catching rate.


    "Half a year, soulpatibility."


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes slightly, beginning to sense the level of his own soulpatibility.


    Half a year ago, his soulpatibility had reached twenty percent.


    Now, after seven or eight months of continuous improvement in martial arts evolution, Lin Yuan could faintly feel that his soulpatibility was about to reach perfection.


    "Eighty-five percent."


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.


    With an eighty-five percent soulpatibility, he had reached thete stage of transformation, and he was very close to advancing to the sixth rank.


    Just as Lin Yuan was about to continue his cultivation and perfect his martial arts evolution system to increase his soulpatibility.


    Suddenly.


    Lin Yuan''s expression changed slightly.


    Because.


    Deep in his mind


    That majestic and grand Gate of the Myriad Realms hadpletely lit up at the edge.


    ...


    Hehehehe


    I need POWAAAA :D

 Chapter 140

    Chapter 140


    Outside the peripheral area of the Gate of the Myriad Realms, the moment it lit up


    Lin Yuan understood.


    "Can I transmigrate now?"


    Lin Yuan''s mind reached deep into his thoughts, gazing at the majestic and magnificent Gate of the Myriad Realms.


    "Just for now."


    Lin Yuan''s brow furrowed slightly.


    At this moment, he was at a critical juncture between the fifth and sixth ranks.


    The fusion of his soul had already reached eighty-five percent, approachingpletion.


    The improvement in soul fusion required Lin Yuan to invest all his energy,prehend the Dao, and perfect his path of martial evolution.


    If he were to transmigrate now and his consciousness descended into another world, it would be equivalent to interrupting the process of his soul''s transformation.


    After the transmigration ended, when Lin Yuan crossed into the sixth rank in the other world and returned to the main world, he would still need to spend time and effort toplete the final stage of soul fusion.


    What Lin Yuan truly worried about was not the above.


    Rather, it was the potential adverse oues of abruptly halting the transformation of his soul.


    For example, what if his soul fusion regressed instead of progressing? Or if the fusion speed suddenly slowed down, and so on.


    Throughout the long history of human civilization in the universe, there were some fifth-rank evolvers who, during the fusion of their souls with their evolutionary paths, were interrupted due to various idents.


    When they finally resumed the transformation and fusion process, they found that the efficiency of their soul fusion speed had been affected to some extent.


    "Never mind."


    "Let''s wait until thepletion of the soul fusion transformation and stepping into the sixth rank before transmigrating."


    Lin Yuan''s face showed a brief moment of contemtion, and finally, he made a decision.


    Dying the transmigration would not cause any loss to Lin Yuan; the Gate of the Myriad Realms would continue to umte energy.


    It''s like a ten-liter water ss, with water dripping into it at all times. When the water in the ss reaches one liter, Lin Yuan can transmigrate.


    At the moment of the transmigration, it would consume that liter of water.


    But if he chose not to transmigrate, that liter of water wouldn''t disappear; it would still be in the ss, not affecting the subsequent increase in water in the ss.


    In theory, Lin Yuan could wait for several years and transmigratecontinuously.


    Or try other functions of the Gate of the Myriad Realms, such as what would happen after lighting up the core area?


    Beyond the Cann Star.


    A spaceship slowly came to a stop, undergoing inspection at the star tform.


    "Boss, we''ve arrived at the Cann Star, we''ve reached our destination."


    Inside the spaceship, a green-haired youth eximed, "This is my first time leaving my home. The Cann Star should have many fun ces, right?"


    "Fun?"


    A middle-aged man with green hair opened his eyes and sighed.


    "You''ll see soon enough. It''s quite painful to stay on a mediocre life like this for a long time."


    The middle-aged man nced at the green-haired youth.


    "Huh? Painful?"


    The green-haired youth was slightly stunned.


    "Isn''t it a good thing?"


    The middle-aged man chuckled, "Can the entertainment activities, welfare benefits, and the supply of cosmic energy on a mediocre lifepare to those on a higher life?"


    "This time, if it weren''t for the youngdy''s orders to establish a trade outpost on the Cann Star, I wouldn''t havee."


    The middle-aged man sighed again.


    "Yes, it is said that a genius evolver named Lin Yuan on the Cann Star rejected the recruitment of ck Prison Ao, leading to the entire Cann Star being targeted and suppressed."


    "Fortunately, another genius evolver on the Cann Star, Fang Qing, joined the Red Kun Lineage. Fang Qing has a close rtionship with Lin Yuan, so for Lin Yuan''s sake, Fang Qing pleaded to the youngdy and other members of the Red Kun Lineage to try to rebuild the trade channels."


    The green-haired youth had obviously inquired about many things beforeing.


    It''s natural to be a bit more prepared for your first time leaving your home.


    "Lord Fang Qing is indeed very considerate."


    The green-haired youth said with some envy.


    Who wouldn''t want to have such a friend? One who stands up for you when you''re being oppressed and bullied.


    "Indeed."


    "Lord Fang Qing is very loyal, but that Lin Yuan seems ungrateful."


    The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "With the status of Young Master ck Prison Ao, personally recruiting him and showing respect, but Lin Yuan dared to refuse, even at the risk of implicating the entire Cann Star."


    "This kind of personality is extremely selfish. Without Lord Fang Qing looking out for him, his future will definitely be miserable."


    The middle-aged man said slowly.


    This view of his was also the view of most people, especially those who were transferred to establish trade outposts. They all had some grievances against Lin Yuan.


    "That''s true." The green-haired youth nodded slightly.


    He had been educated by his family since childhood that, when necessary, he must give everything for the family. If he were in Lin Yuan''s position, he would definitely not make such a selfish move.


    "But it won''t be necessary in the future."


    "Lord Fang Qing has just joined the Red Kun Lineage, thinking about his friendship with Lin Yuan. But as time goes by, with Lord Fang Qing''s rise in the Red Kun Lineage and reaching the fifth rank, reaching the sixth rank."


    "But Lin Yuan, even though he is a rare genius evolver on the Cann Star, he will probably only reach the fifth rank."


    "In the future, the gap between the two will only growrger. Can such a rtionship be maintained? How could a dragon possibly be friends with an ant?"


    The middle-aged man expressed his opinion.


    "After hundreds or thousands of years, Lord Fang Qing''s friendship with Lin Yuan will naturally fade."


    The middle-aged man said calmly.


    "Indeed."


    "People of different levels of strength cannot be friends." The green-haired youth nodded in agreement.


    In the Central Continent Manor, main building.


    "It''s better toplete the soul fusion transformation as soon as possible."


    Since he could shuttle through the Gate of the Myriad Realms at any time, Lin Yuan thought about increasing the speed of soul fusion.


    "Perhaps I can spar with other powerful evolvers?"


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    Sparring with evolvers of different evolutionary paths would greatly increase Lin Yuan''sprehension efficiency.


    Especially in perfecting martial arts. Since Lin Yuan intended to expand martial arts beyond Yin and Yang and epass all the myriad paths in the world.


    Engaging inbat with numerous evolvers,prehending their paths and philosophies, would undoubtedly have a significant pushing effect.


    "After all, idleness is just idleness."


    Lin Yuan connected his consciousness to the virtual world and entered the arena area.


    The virtual world had many areas, such as living areas, trading areas, central square areas, and arena areas.


    The arena area is specifically designated for evolvers to spar and exchange techniques.


    The Cosmic Human Alliance''s arena matches are held in the arena area every year.


    Of course, only evolvers under a hundred years old can participate in these matches.


    As for those over a hundred years old, the truly powerful evolvers, fifth-rank, sixth-rank? If they have the thought of sparring, they will all choose the arena area.


    "Registration."


    "Strength: Fifth Rank, Twelfth Stage. Commencing soul fusion transformation."


    "Identity: Concealed."


    Lin Yuan entered the arena area, disguised as a wandering evolver traveling through the universe, and began selecting opponents.


    "Hmm, this person has been undergoing soul fusion transformation for over two hundred years, almostpleting ny percent of the fusion. Request a challenge."


    "And this person, from the Wan Yang lineage, a core prince, not inferior to the peak master of the Red Kun lineage. Requesta challenge."


    "Special physique, noble bloodline. About to step into the sixth rank? Hurry and request a challenge, or else I won''t be able to once you reach the sixth rank."


    Lin Yuan spent half a day selecting over a hundred opponents.


    These over a hundred opponents were meticulously chosen by Lin Yuan; even if their strength wasn''t on par with his, it wasn''t too far off.


    They were fully capable of putting pressure on Lin Yuan.


    Moreover, the evolutionary paths of these individuals were extremely rare and unique, providing good stimtion for Lin Yuan.


    After applying for challenges one by one, Lin Yuan began to wait.


    At that moment, the voice of the intelligent assistant sounded, "Master, Governor Song Wuyang wants to see you."


    In the virtual world, personal space.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared.


    Shortly after, Song Wuyang also appeared in front of him.


    "This crisis has finally been safely navigated."


    A hint of relief appeared on Song Wuyang''s face.


    As theary governor, if the Cann Star experienced negative effects like economic decline during his tenure, it would be a disastrous blow to his political achievements.


    Fortunately, everything was over now.


    Under Fang Qing''s leadership, many forces had begun to re-engage in trade with the Cann Star. Unexpectedly, the Cann Star could capitalize on this opportunity to undergo an unexpected major development.


    It could be said to have turned misfortune into fortune.


    "If it weren''t for Lord Fang Qing this time, it would have been really troublesome."


    Governor Song Wuyang said.


    "Yes."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    Actually, Lin Yuan didn''t feel much about it. Even if the criticism outside was loud, he could simply ignore it.


    But his parents and sister would have to endure some "cyberbullying," so Fang Qing standing up for him, even if it didn''t bring substantial help, at least alleviated the psychological pressure on his family.


    For this, Lin Yuan was quite grateful.


    "Lord Fang Qing stepped forward entirely because of the friendship between you and Mr. Lin. I hope you two will continue tomunicate more in the future."


    Governor Song Wuyang hinted.


    Implicitly, he hoped Lin Yuan would get closer to Fang Qing. Otherwise, if Fang Qing was willing to intervene this time, there was no guarantee he would do so next time.


    Lin Yuan remained calm.


    He knew that Song Wuyang''s words were not malicious; they were purely from his perspective.


    Having finally grabbed hold of such a big thigh, he naturally had to hold on tightly. Especially someone like Fang Qing, a member of the Red Kun lineage, who might be a big shot in the entire star domain in the future.


    After chatting with Lin Yuan for a few words, Song Wuyang took his leave.


    With the newly rebuilt trade channels on the Cann Star, there were too many things that needed the intervention of thisary governor.


    The connection between consciousness and the virtual world was severed.


    Lin Yuan walked out of the main building and onto the grass field outside.


    "Big brother."


    Lin Yi flew over, controlling a shield-shaped weapon with her telekinesis.


    "That ck Prison Ao is truly despicable. Brother, you refused to be recruited, so he intentionally suppressed the Cann Star. Now look, he''s lost face?"


    Lin Yi couldn''t help butment.


    "But fortunately, Brother, your friend is awesome. Many of my friends envy you for having such a good friend."


    Lin Yi continued.


    "Is that so?" Lin Yuan remained calm.


    During this period, with the subsiding of public opinion, Lin Yi had also let off some steam.


    In the virtual world.


    Fang Qing and Lin Yuan sat facing each other.


    "Things have calmed down now."


    "ck Prison Ao currently seems quiet. He probably doesn''t dare to have any ideas."


    At this point, Fang Qing stared at Lin Yuan and continued, "Big Brother Lin, are you interested in joining the Red Kun lineage?"


    "In a while, I will have a ''rmendation'' quota. I can give it to you then."


    The channels for joining the Red Kun lineage were not just limited to the Seven Star Cave test. There were many ways to join openly.


    ''Internal rmendation'' is the simplest method.


    "Members of the Red Kun lineage have a chance for internal rmendation every hundred years."


    "It involves rmending other evolvers to join the Red Kun lineage."


    "Of course, evolvers who join the Red Kun lineage through internal rmendation are only the lowest-level peripheral members."


    "They need toplete many tests to continue staying in the Red Kun lineage."


    "Of course, even internal rmendation is not something most evolvers can hope for."


    "After all, it''s the Red Kun lineage, the supreme rulers of the Red Kun star domain."


    "Just spending a few years inside is a qualification worth boasting about."


    ''Internal rmendation.''


    Lin Yuan fell into contemtion.


    As the thirteenth peak master of the Red Kun lineage, did he still need internal rmendation?


    "What do you think, Brother Lin?"


    Although Fang Qing didn''t know what confidence Lin Yuan had to refuse ck Prison Ao''s recruitment, he still wanted to lend Lin Yuan a hand because of their rtionship.


    "After joining the Red Kun lineage, Brother Lin, although you''ll only be an outer member, with me looking after you, and with Brother Lin''s talent, it won''t be difficult to be a formal member in the future."


    Fang Qing considered Lin Yuanprehensively.


    "Let''s talk about itter."


    Lin Yuan smiled.


    "Okay."


    Fang Qing nodded.


    "Young Master."


    "The 222 evolvers you wanted to recruit have all agreed and signed the contract."


    Beizhao, dressed in ck formal attire, bowed respectfully to ck Prison Ao seated on the throne.


    "Then follow the next n, provide special training for these 222 evolvers, and ensure their strength increases by at least forty percent before the next arena match begins."


    ck Prison Ao said.


    "Yes."


    Beizhao responded and then disappeared on the spot.


    "222 evolvers."


    ck Prison Ao fell silent. It should have been 223 evolvers.


    But Lin Yuan refused the recruitment, and ck Prison Ao had nned to use the disruption of trade to force the other party to capitte.


    But then Fang Qing suddenly appeared.


    "Wait and see, as long as I can pass the family''s test, return to the family, and sit on the position of n leader, all of you will pay the price."


    ck Prison Ao muttered to himself.


    On the maind of the Cann Star, in the manor.


    In the underground training ground of the main building.


    Lin Yuan connected his consciousness to the virtual world and entered the arena area.


    "Let''s see if anyone has epted the challenge."


    Several hours ago, Lin Yuan had selected arge number of evolvers with simr strength levels, intending to challenge them to elerate the transformation of soul fusion.


    "Hmm?"


    Opening the application list, Lin Yuan''s brow suddenly furrowed.


    Because he found that all his applications had been rejected.


    Rejected.


    Rejected.


    Rejected.


    Still rejected.


    Out of over a hundred applications, more than seventy had been rejected, and the remaining thirty or forty, while not rejected, hadn''t been epted either, not much different from rejection.


    "They all rejected me?"


    Lin Yuan blinked.


    Was this the result of his first application for a challenge?


    ...


    I need POWAAAA :D

 Chapter 141

    Chapter 141


    "Reject me?"


    "Why would you reject me?"


    Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, roughly inferring the reason.


    The evolvers he had selected were all extremely famous, with deep backgrounds or extraordinary talents, standing out in a whole star domain.


    Such evolvers were already equivalent to ''celebrity'' evolvers.


    Who knew how many people were paying attention to them.


    If every challenge from any evolver were to be epted casually, then there would be no point in cultivation; one might as well just challenge endlessly from beginning to end.


    Moreover.


    Casually epting challenges from unfamiliar evolvers.


    Winning would be taken for granted.


    But if one were to lose, it would be very embarrassing.


    So.


    Unless they were of the same rank and status as evolvers.


    Otherwise, those ''celebrity'' evolvers would not easily ept challenges.


    "Since that''s the case."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts surged, "Then I''ll apply for a challenge using my true identity."


    The so-called true identity naturally wasn''t ''Lin Yuan''.


    But rather, the identity of the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage.


    In terms of attention, the mysterious Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage.


    Presumably, no evolver would not be curious.


    And the status of the Thirteenth Peak Master was high enough; there probably wouldn''t be many evolvers who would refuse a challenge initiated by the Thirteenth Peak Master.


    Even if they were to lose, there would be reasons for it; after all, it was the Thirteenth Peak Master, wouldn''t it be normal for me to lose?


    If one could win, it would be defeating the Thirteenth Peak Master.


    Thinking of this, Lin Yuan immediately switched identities.


    Virtual world of the Red Kun Lineage.


    The Thirteenth Main Peak.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared in the main hall of the peak.


    Since he had not yet reached the Sixth Rank, Lin Yuan had not recruited disciples or servants to the main peak, so the main hall appeared empty.


    "As long as the identity of ''Lin Yuan'' is not exposed, making some actions in the identity of the Thirteenth Peak Master will not have any impact."


    Lin Yuan pondered repeatedly, then began to enter the arena area and choose opponents he desired to challenge.


    Arena area.


    A certain arena.


    A ck-skinned man appeared.


    "I never expected that the illustrious Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage would choose to challenge me?"


    This ck-skinned man was somewhat ttered.


    He looked at the figure appearing in the distance and slightly respectfully said.


    As an existence that had reached ny percent of soul transformation, about to step into the Sixth Rank.


    The ck-skinned man had long stopped epting any challenges. His current most important task was to push thepatibility of his soul to perfection.


    And then calmly step into the Sixth Rank.


    The ck-skinned man had originally done the same.


    Until


    Receiving the challenge application from the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage.


    My goodness.


    This was the Thirteenth Peak Master, a high-ranking figure of a star domain.


    Even if the ck-skinned man stepped into the Sixth Rank, his status was far inferior to that of the Thirteenth Peak Master.


    So.


    After receiving the challenge application.


    The ck-skinned man chose to agree without hesitation.


    After all, it was just a challenge; it wouldn''t take much time.


    Being able to witness the legendary Thirteenth Peak Master, regardless of winning or losing, was worth it.


    "Let''s begin."


    Lin Yuan looked towards the ck-skinned man.


    "Alright."


    The ck-skinned man said.


    And then his figure disappeared from the spot.


    "Thirteenth Peak Master, the evolutionary path I cultivate is called the Shadow Evolution Path, which can conceal in any"


    Before the ck-skinned man could finish speaking.


    Lin Yuan took a step and arrived under a tree shade, raised his hand and grasped.


    Only to see an almost invisible shadow being caught.


    Immediately, this hidden figure quickly solidified, transforming into the ck-skinned man.


    "How... how is this possible?"


    The ck-skinned man widened his eyes, incredulous.


    His method of concealment was extremely secretive, even a Sixth Rank evolver might overlook it if not careful. The ck-skinned man had dodged numerous cmities with his concealment techniques.


    But in front of the Thirteenth Peak Master, it was seen through at a nce.


    "Not bad."


    Lin Yuanmented.


    Then he crushed the ck-skinned man''s neck.


    [Your Unrivaled Insight, observing the ''Shadow'' concealment method, deepens yourprehension of the shadow rules.]


    [Your Unrivaled Insight, observing the ''Shadow'' concealment method, deepens yourprehension of the shadow rules.]


    [Your Unrivaled Insight, observing the ''Shadow'' concealment method, deepens yourprehension of the shadow rules.]


    Lin Yuan slightly closed his eyes. Under the Unrivaled Insight, many of the ck-skinned man''s techniques just now were transformed into gains, integrating into the martial arts evolutionary system.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan faintly felt that the speed of his soulpatibility transformation had slightly increased.


    Although not by much, it was still a bit better than the usual enlightenment.


    This wasn''t to say that enlightenment was ineffective, but asionally changing one''s cultivation method might yield unexpected results.


    And under the Unrivaled Insight, whether sitting down toprehend or engaging in battle, both belonged to a kind of enlightenment.


    Next.


    Lin Yuan continuously challenged one evolver after another. These evolvers were not limited to the Red Kun Star Domain or nearby star systems, but epassed all renowned pinnacle-level evolvers within the human civilization territory.


    Some evolvers possessed terrifying physical bodies, forming vast domains solely through their thick blood and energy. Lin Yuan relied on his own bursts of power, temporarily opening up his own domain of blood and energy, then swiftly striking down his opponents.


    Others specialized in speed, able to appear anywhere on the arena with a single thought, attacking from any angle with increasing strength as their speed heightened. Lin Yuan had to exert considerable effort to defeat such opponents.


    As Lin Yuan engaged in battles with various evolvers, hisprehension grew. In just half a month, he had gained insights equivalent to two months of solitary meditation.


    Meanwhile, as Lin Yuan continued his challenges, more and more evolvers, especially those from the Red Kun Star Domain, took notice of him.


    "Oh lord, the peak figure of our Star Domain, is actually challenging other evolvers everywhere?"


    "The Thirteenth Lord, isn''t he extremely mysterious, never having shown himself before?"


    "Let''s all go and see what skills the Thirteenth Lord of the Red Kun Star Domain truly possesses."


    Many evolvers and high-level citizens gathered around the arena where Lin Yuan usually issued his challenges.


    "Hello everyone, I''m your little kitten. Today, let''s take a look at the legendary Thirteenth Lord of the Red Kun Star Domain."


    A charming girl with cat ears appeared in front of the arena. She was a popr idol in the Red Kun Star Domain and dozens of nearby star domains, often live broadcasting challenges between powerful evolvers.


    Though not yet at the sixth rank, the Thirteenth Lord''s fame and status made him a perfect subject for live broadcasts.


    "Alright, let''s get started."


    "That over there is the Thirteenth Lord. Even though we know his appearance has been altered, he still looks incredibly handsome."


    The girl skillfully stirred up the atmosphere in the live stream. With just a few words from her, the excitement in the audience surged.


    "The opponent of our Thirteenth Lord is the renowned ''Soul Artisan,'' Lataza."


    The camera shifted, revealing a thin, robed young man.


    Most of his body was concealed by the ck robe, giving him a sinister and terrifying appearance.


    "Lataza, the Soul Artisan, specializes in soul-based evolution. His expertise lies in mysterious soul attacks."


    "Lataza''s soul attacks are extremely dangerous. He has a record of keeping a group of pinnacle-level evolvers at bay, yet the Thirteenth Lord..."


    The girl detailed Lataza''s past battles.


    "In reality, Lataza wouldn''t stand a chance against the Thirteenth Lord, as thetter surely possesses numerous soul-defense weapons."


    "But in the virtual world, especially in the arena, where external aids are not permitted, I think the Thirteenth Lord might be in a bit of danger."


    The girl continued hermentary.


    Momentster, the battle between the Thirteenth Lord and Latazamenced.


    Buzz!!


    Eerie fluctuations spread out.


    The girl was about to providementary on the live stream when, in the next moment, Lataza''s figure began to copse.


    Starting from his feet, his torso, and then both hands, everything began to disintegrate.


    "Your soul...is very strong."


    Finally, with only his head remaining, Lataza uttered these words before it too started to disintegrate.


    At the arena, the girl blinked.


    Damn it.


    She had forgotten that Lataza was an evolver specializing in soul-based evolution.


    Battles involving such evolvers were known for their speed.


    "The Thirteenth Lord is too powerful, able to withstand Lataza''s soul attacks without any damage. The Thirteenth Lord must be undergoing soul metamorphosis."


    The girl, having exined many high-level evolver battles in the past, had conducted extensive research on soul-rted strengths.


    "It seems our Thirteenth Lord is about to reach the sixth rank. I wonder who the true identity of the Thirteenth Lord is."


    With hermentary finished, a hint of curiosity could be heard in the girl''s voice.


    The identity of the Thirteenth Lord of the Red Kun Lineage was exceptionally mysterious, leaving many evolvers curious.


    "Alright."


    "The next challenger for the Thirteenth Lord has arrived."


    The girl shifted her attention to the next challenge.


    "Amazing."


    "Our lord is too strong, making ordinary pinnacle-level evolvers look like ants."


    "This is the lord of our Red Kun Lineage. Shouldn''t he be strong?"


    In a box at the arena, many members of the Red Kun Lineage gathered, admiring the Thirteenth Lord''s various techniques.


    "So this is the Thirteenth Lord?"


    Fang Qing was among them, looking down at the ongoing battle.


    At this moment, the simted battleground resembled a deste continent. But as the Thirteenth Lord and his opponent continued to fight, the continent was torn apart, with tes pierced through, and magma erupted, creating a scene reminiscent of doomsday.


    "He''s too strong."


    Fang Qing felt a tremor in his heart.


    If such battles were to ur on a living, it would likely have been reduced to a dead star by now, devoid of any living beings.


    "We evolvers should be like the lord, capable of destroying heaven and earth with a wave of our hand."


    Not far away, a three-eyed man sat, his fist clenched.


    "Rather than being like some people, talking about loyalty and helping friends, wasting time and resources."


    The three-eyed man nced at Fang Qing.


    Not long ago, Fang Qing had called upon friends to help Cann Star through a difficult time, which made the three-eyed man feel somewhat ufortable.


    In his view, everything had its own destiny, and intervening in such a manner to help was undoubtedly altering that destiny.


    Fang Qing remained silent upon hearing this.


    In terms of status, the three-eyed man had surpassed Fang Qing in the Seven Star Cave Trial and had joined the Red Kun Lineage. In less than a hundred years, he would undoubtedly be a core disciple.


    Fang Qing couldn''t afford to offend someone of this stature.


    In another box, twelve figures lounged around leisurely.


    They were the twelve peak lords of the Red Kun Lineage.


    With their status, they rarely watched arena matches below the sixth rank.


    They were even toozy to watch matches involving sixth-rank evolvers. Among the twelve peak lords of the Red Kun Lineage, aside from the first three who had surpassed the sixth rank, the remaining nine were all pinnacle-level among the sixth rank.


    But they were naturally willing toe to Lin Yuan''s challenge arena.


    "Our junior brother..."


    The second senior brother sighed and carefully scrutinized Lin Yuan. "He should have already begun soul metamorphosis. It''s only been a few years, and he''s reached this level of cultivation?"


    The other senior brothers expressed simr sentiments.


    Not long ago, they had joked that Lin Yuan would likely reach the sixth rank within several decades.


    But now? How much time had passed? Lin Yuan had already reached the pinnacle of the fifth rank and was even beginning soul transformation?


    Although it was true that some evolvers took hundreds or even thousands of years toplete soul transformation, those were evolvers without backgrounds, who had not received guidance from strong individuals before reaching the fifth rank and had chosen a lesspatible evolutionary path for themselves, resulting in a longer process of soul transformation.


    Evolver from the Red Kun Lineage would have their masters help choose their evolutionary paths before reaching the fifth rank.


    With suchpatible evolutionary paths, soul transformation naturally progressed quickly,pleting in just a few years or decades.


    In the eyes of the twelve senior brothers, Lin Yuan was a disciple of the Red Kun Star Lord. Now that he was undergoing soul transformation, he must have already been approved by the Star Lord. It was likely that in three or four years, he wouldplete his soul metamorphosis.


    And then be a sixth-rank evolver.


    How could this not be a cause for jealousy for such a genius under a hundred years old?


    The twelfth senior brother sighed.


    "Let''s prepare over the next few years. When our junior brother reaches the sixth rank, he will definitelye to the main star. We should be ready to wee him then."


    One of the senior brothers suggested.


    "Naturally."


    The twelfth senior brother nodded.


    He nced at the arena below once again.


    "That little guy who was only at the fourth rank before has grown to this height in the blink of an eye?" The twelfth senior brother''s expression changed suddenly.


    He remembered hesitating during the Seven Star Cave Trial about whether to take Lin Yuan as his disciple.


    In the crimson pce, the Red Kun Star Lord and a man in white robes were ying chess.


    "Red Kun, you''ve taken in quite the good disciple," the man in white robes said, finishing his move and sighing.


    "Hehe."


    The Red Kun Star Lord smiled but didn''t say much.


    "My new disciple suffered quite a loss at the hands of your good disciple," the man in white robes said, cing another piece on the board.


    "Oh?"


    The Red Kun Star Lord''s interest was piqued.


    Immediately, his vast consciousness began to ''search.''


    Soon, he discovered Lin Yuan''s recent challenges in the arena.


    "My disciple, although talented, is having trouble defeating your disciple," the Red Kun Star Lord said, feeling puzzled.


    He remembered that the man in white robes''s disciple had already reached the fifth rank a hundred years ago and was likely only a hair''s breadth away from the sixth rank now, with a soulpatibility rate of around ny percent.


    "Still pretending?"


    The man in white robes nced at the Red Kun Star Lord.


    "Hmm."


    The Red Kun Star Lord remainedposed outwardly but felt a sense of doubt rising within him.


    Then, he directed a thread of consciousness to carefully observe the scenes of Lin Yuan''s arena challenges.


    "This..."


    The Red Kun Star Lord''s face changed slightly, a look of surprise crossing his features.


    ...

 Chapter 142

    Chapter 142


    The consciousness of the Red Kun Star Lord was vast; in just an instant, he watched all the challenge videos of Lin Yuan from the recent period.


    "My disciple," the Red Kun Star Lord muttered in astonishment and uncertainty. "Has he begun the soul integration transformation?"


    Others, including the twelve peak masters, believed that Lin Yuan''s rapid progress was due to the guidance of the Red Kun Star Lord. However, the Star Lord himself knew better; he had hardly given Lin Yuan any guidance.


    Upon learning that Lin Yuan had reached the fifth rank, the Red Kun Star Lord abandoned the initial training n for him. Instead, he nned to show Lin Yuan a "Rule Crystal" to see its effects before proceeding.


    But now?


    While he awaited Lin Yuan''s feedback on the effectiveness of the "Rule Crystal," thetter had already reached the fifth rank, initiated the soul integration transformation, and was about to enter the sixth rank?


    "Eighty percent, no, at least ny percent, maybe ny-five percent," the Red Kun Star Lord thought, even though he was observing Lin Yuan through the virtual world, his keen eyesight could roughly discern thetter''s level.


    Through Lin Yuan''s battles with other evolvers of the same level, it was almost certain that his soul integration transformation had reached at least ny-five percent.


    "You seem to be in a good moodtely," the white-robed man, who was ying chess opposite the Red Kun Star Lord, remarked, ncing at him with surprise.


    Knowing the Red Kun Star Lord well, the man was sure that thetter would not miss the chance to mock him upon learning that his disciple had outperformed the man''s own disciple.


    "Hahaha! My disciple, how can he bepared to yours? Did he cry after being beaten? Did hee crying to you forfort?" the Red Kun Star Lord burst intoughter as he realized the situation.


    Although he knew he might have underestimated Lin Yuan''s true talent again, he didn''t care. He had finally managed to outshine his friend once more, and he naturally seized the opportunity.


    "You old rascal, I thought you had changed just now," the man in the white robe said helplessly. However, he had also watched the battle videos between his disciple and Lin Yuan and knew that his disciple had indeed been overwhelmingly defeated by Lin Yuan.


    "Where did you find such an outstanding disciple on which life?" the man couldn''t help but ask.


    The Red Kun Lineage''s Thirteen Peak Masters imed that they were discovered by the Red Kun Star Lord during his travels through the universe on a certain.


    Although this im was not very credible, given that it came from the Red Kun Star Lord himself, the man, even if he didn''t believe it, had to follow up on the topic.


    "That''s a secret," the Red Kun Star Lord said mysteriously, smiling. "Wait until my disciple enters the sixth rank, and then you''ll know."


    "You old fellow, still ying mysterious with me," the man in the white robe joked, deciding not to ask further.


    He naturally knew that thousands of years ago, one of the Red Kun Star Lord''s newly acquired disciples had died due to a leaked identity, falling victim to an assassination by an alien race.


    Because of this incident, the Red Kun Star Lord had directly descended into the territory of the alien race, killing them ruthlessly for some time before returning to the Red Kun Main Star.


    In the virtual world, at the arena area, countless spectators woulde early each day before Lin Yuan''s daily challenges, eagerly anticipating the start of the battles.


    Lin Yuan not only had the aura of the Thirteen Peak Masters of the Red Kun Lineage, but also had demonstrated nearly overwhelming strength in the previous dozens or even hundreds of battles, attracting arge number of fans from distant human civilizations.


    These fans were not only limited to the Red Kun Star Domain and nearby star domains, but also from remote regions of human civilization.


    Therefore, the identity of the Thirteen Peak Masters did not have much effect on these fans; they valued more Lin Yuan''s fighting style and strength.


    In a box.


    The ck Prison Family''s patriarch, a seventh-rank evolver named ck Prison Mo, sat in his seat.


    Beside ck Prison Mo sat other figures, obviously his friends.


    "How about it? The strength of my Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Star Domain is not bad," ck Prison Mo said casually.


    "Indeed, I''ve heard that the Red Kun Star Lord is very good at teaching his disciples, and now it seems that his reputation is well-deserved," nodded the figure sitting on ck Prison Mo''s right.


    "Do you guys notice? After each arena fight, the strength of this Thirteenth Peak Master improves a little. He is using other evolvers of the same level as stepping stones to reach the sixth rank," said the figure on the left.


    He had carefully watched every battle of the Thirteenth Peak Master.


    "If not for this, why would there be so many peopleing to watch? The poprity of the arena where the Thirteenth Peak Master is located far exceeds that of the sixth-rank arena," ck Prison Mo said, pausing for a moment before continuing.


    "Throughout history, the evolvers who were able to break through in constant battles have all been stunning top talents."


    "The potential of the Thirteenth Peak Master ispletely immeasurable," ck Prison Mo said.


    "Indeed."


    "But who can say what the future holds?"


    "Even the top ''divination'' masters'' predictions of the future are just imaginary, not unchangeable."


    ck Prison Mo lowered his head and looked down at the arena, lost in thought.


    At the Central Continent Manor, outside the main building.


    Lin Yuan, together with his parents and sister, were rarely gathered together, having dinner.


    With Lin Yuan''s strength, he had long reached the stage of cultivating by absorbing energy present in the universe at all times to replenish his consumption.


    But there was no need to abandon the custom of having dinner; it wasn''t just about food but also aboutmunicating and bonding with family members.


    "I''m full," Lin Yi said, quickly finishing the food in her bowl, then stood up with a swoosh, ready to return to her room.


    "Hold on," their mother, Lin Qiong, frowned. "Why are you in such a hurry to finish your meal? Where are you going?"


    Lin Qiong asked directly.


    "I want to go watch the Thirteenth Peak Master''s arena battles," Lin Yi said confidently.


    Although she was only an unranked evolver, she had ess to the virtual world and could enter the arena area to watch the battles between two evolvers.


    And recently, the hottest thing in the Red Kun Star Domain''s arena area was undoubtedly the Thirteenth Peak Masters personally challenging various evolvers.


    "Thirteenth Peak Master," Lin Qiong nodded, not paying too much attention.


    She had also heard of the Thirteenth Peak Master, who was the pride of the entire Red Kun Star Domain.


    "Brother, I''ve told you several times already, let''s go watch the Thirteenth Peak Master''s arena battles together."


    "The Thirteenth Peak Master is really powerful. You should learn from him more; maybe you can be stronger too," Lin Yi looked at Lin Yuan and couldn''t help but say.


    She was one of the first batch of ''fans'' who had been paying attention to the Thirteenth Peak Master''s challenges, often promoting him among her friends.


    But when she tried to rmend the Thirteenth Peak Master to her brother, she encountered obstacles.


    Lin Yi found that her brother didn''t seem interested in the Thirteenth Peak Master at all.


    This disappointed Lin Yi. Although Lin Yuan was a genius among evolvers, appearing once every tens of thousands of years, it all depended on who he waspared to.


    Compared to ordinary people, Lin Yuan was a genius, that was true.


    Butpared to the Thirteenth Peak Master, he was just ordinary.


    Although Lin Yuan wasn''t interested, Lin Yi continued to try.


    She often invited Lin Yuan to watch the Thirteenth Peak Master''s arena battles together.


    But every time the time for the matches approached, Lin Yuan would leave with various excuses.


    It seemed like he was deliberately opposing her.


    "If you want to meet with your friends, you can go watch," Lin Yuan casually found an excuse and said.


    "Okay," Lin Yi was disappointed for a moment but then became excited again.


    Because she could see the Thirteenth Peak Master''s arena battlester.


    In the virtual world, in the arena area.


    Lin Yuan appeared on the field.


    Suddenly, terrifying cheers came from all directions.


    "Why are there so many people this time?" Lin Yuan was a little surprised. Although there were many spectators when he fought other evolvers, it was far less than now.


    "Is it because of my opponent this time?" Lin Yuan guessed the reason.


    "Son of the Wan Yang Lineage?" (Sacred Son)


    Lin Yuan nced at the opponent''s information.


    The Wan Yang Lineage was the absolute ruler of the Wan Yang Star Domain, and their power was slightly stronger than that of the Red Kun Lineage.


    As for the Son of the Wan Yang Lineage, his status and position were no less than Lin Yuan''s current one.


    It was said that this Son of the Wan Yang Lineage had a special physique and had received the full support of the Wan Yang Star Lord, with an unimaginable background.


    On the battlefield, the space changed.


    Lin Yuan appeared on a deste.


    Simrly, a figure appeared opposite him, dressed in a long robe, looking ordinary.


    "The Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage, I didn''t expect that I would still be able topete with evolvers from the Red Kun Lineage before reaching the sixth rank," the Son of the Wan Yang Lineage smiled warmly, emitting a gentle aura.


    The Wan Yang Lineage was an extreme fire lineage, while the Red Kun Lineage leaned towards fire as well but focused more on spatial aspects.


    The Red Kun Star Lord''s original body, the Star-Sea Ku, was a spatial rule life, and the Red Kun Star Lord practiced both fire and spatial aspects.


    "So am I," Lin Yuan said solemnly.


    Although they hadn''t fought yet, Lin Yuan sensed a slight pressure from the Son of the Wan Yang Lineage, something he hadn''t experienced before.


    "Since that''s the case."


    "Let''s begin."


    The Son of the Wan Yang Lineage retracted his smile.


    As soon as he finished speaking.


    Two terrifying auras collided.


    Over ten minutester.


    Lin Yuan''s figure was burned into nothingness by the ubiquitous ''Wan Yang True Fire.''


    "Lost? The Thirteenth Peak Master lost?"


    "It seems like the Son of the Wan Yang Lineage is indeed stronger."


    "No kidding. Do you guys know the background of the Son of the Wan Yang Lineage?"


    "The Son of the Wan Yang Lineage is a rare ''Nine Yang Divine Veins'' among our human race. He was taken away by the Wan Yang Star Lord after birth."


    "The Wan Yang Star Lord paid a huge price to seal the Son of the Wan Yang Lineage into the ''Wan Fire True Crystal'' and then threw it into the core of a star."


    "For the next hundred years, the Son of the Wan Yang Lineage absorbed the terrifying heat energy within the ster core at all times."


    "When the seal was broken, the Son of the Wan Yang Lineage immediately reached the fifth rank in strength."


    "The Son of the Wan Yang Lineage doesn''t need to cultivate at all. With the terrifying heat energy inside him, he can crush everything."


    Countless spectators began to engage in intense discussions.


    The background of the Son of the Wan Yang Lineage was something that ordinary evolvers could not possess.


    The ''Nine Yang Divine Veins'' were already rare. Evolvers with this physique could be considered stable seeds for reaching the sixth rank.


    Moreover, after incubating for a hundred years within the ster core, the unsealed Son of the Wan Yang Lineage, how could he not be strong?


    "The pure power of fire, terrifyingly incinerating everything."


    Lin Yuan appeared in his personal space, repeatedly recalling the battle that had just taken ce.


    The Son of the Wan Yang Lineage seemed like a falling star with every move, and although Lin Yuan followed the path of Yin and Yang, giving him considerable resistance to fire, he still couldn''t hold on for long under such extreme power.


    However.


    Although Lin Yuan lost, he didn''t feel the slightest bit discouraged.


    Firstly, when he fought the Son of the Wan Yang Lineage, he didn''t use all of his abilities.


    For example, the Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit were not unleashed.


    If Lin Yuan used the Yang Spirit to follow the Yin Spirit, his strength would have at least increased several times.


    However, doing so might reveal that he practiced the martial path of evolution.


    Although in the vast sea of human civilization''s paths of evolution, there were many that could condense ''duplicates,'' most of them could only achieve it at the sixth or seventh rank.


    As for those below the sixth rank, it was extremely rare to condense something simr to a ''duplicate.''


    Moreover, the Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit were not tangible.


    So it was best not to use the Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit if possible.


    Of course, once Lin Yuan reached the sixth rank, the Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit would almost solidify. As long as they didn''t appear simultaneously, there wouldn''t be much of a problem.


    Secondly, facing such a powerful opponent, Lin Yuan was actually delighted.


    At least in this battle, Lin Yuan gained far more insights from the Son of the Wan Yang Lineage than from any other evolver before.


    "Wan Yang Sky."


    Lin Yuan murmured softly.


    This was the secret technique used by the Son of the Wan Yang Lineage just now. If it weren''t for this secret technique, Lin Yuan could have persisted for a while longer.


    At the edge of the human civilization territory.


    Several terrifying wills prated through.


    "What should we do?"


    "The Thirteenth Disciple that the Red Kun Star Lord took in has terrifying potential. We absolutely cannot let him continue to grow."


    The first will emitted a sense of urgency.


    When they first learned about the Thirteenth Peak Master, they thought he just had slightly better aptitude and might surpass the sixth rank in the future.


    But now it seemed like it was more than just ''slightly better''? If not stopped, there would probably be another killing god on the battlefield of the alien races in the future.


    "What can we do? We don''t even know the true identity of the Thirteenth Peak Master."


    The second will emitted a helpless mental wave.


    He also wanted to suppress the Thirteenth Peak Master in advance. But the Red Kun Star Lord had suffered a loss once, and this time, the secrecy surrounding the Thirteenth Peak Master wasplete.


    "General Panyong, if you have any ideas, you can say them directly. We, the several races alliance, even if we can''t help, we will definitely support."


    The third will sent out a mental wave, asking the consciousness that spoke first.


    "Yes, General Panyong, we will lend our strength and have someone intervene. We won''t just sit idly by."


    Thest will also spoke up.

 Chapter 143

    Chapter 143


    "Since you say so, I won''t beat around the bush," said General Panyong.


    Immediately, a light screen appeared in the void.


    On it appeared rows of text, showing the names and appearances of ten evolvers.


    "These ten evolvers are the ones our n has deduced to be the most likely true identities of the Thirteenth Peak Master based on various information," General Panyong said.


    Other consciousnesses turned their attention to the light screen.


    The ten evolvers on the screen were all members of the Red Kun Lineage.


    Among them, thest one was a three-eyed man of the tribe.


    As for the first nine, they were evolvers who had performed outstandingly in the past few Red Kun main star tests, mainly focusing on the Crimson Mark Evolvers.


    "General Panyong, showing us this list alone is not very helpful."


    "Yes, most of these evolvers are hidden on the main star of Red Kun. How do we proceed?"


    "Even if we manage to kill one recklessly, the others will surely be alert, making it even harder to act."


    The remaining consciousnesses frowned, expressing some confusion.


    "You don''t need to take action," General Panyong said calmly.


    "One of our n''s experts in curse killing is willing to expend a thousand years of lifespan to perform the curse killing technique."


    General Panyong exined.


    The curse killing technique involved a special application of thew of cause and effect.


    Understanding thew of cause and effect was extremely difficult, let alone deriving relevant secret techniques from it.


    Moreover, the curse killing technique had significant limitations, requiring at least two major realm crossings to perform, and each use consumed a vast amount of lifespan.


    Unless absolutely necessary, few experts would voluntarily use the curse killing technique.


    Of course, using the curse killing technique was far more effective than assassination; regardless of distance, as long as there was a connection of cause and effect, one could directly curse kill.


    "Curse killing?"


    "That''s an easy way out."


    "Direct curse killing, these ten evolvers won''t even have time to react."


    "That''s right. Currently, the Thirteenth Peak Master is only at the fifth rank, not yet advancing to the sixth rank. Using curse killing on him only requires a seventh rank curse killer."


    "If we wait until he advances to the sixth rank, attempting curse killing would require an eighth rank curse killer to pay a great price, and even then, sess is not guaranteed."


    After some discussion among the consciousnesses, they agreed to General Panyong''s approach.


    Given the potential disyed by the Thirteenth Peak Master, it was best to eliminate him before reaching the sixth rank.


    Once he reached the sixth rank, with many life-saving means at his disposal, even if an eighth rank curse killer was willing to expend thousands of years of lifespan, it might not be possible to curse kill him.


    "I need you to fulfill your promise," General Panyong immediately negotiated a deal with the other consciousnesses.


    Half a dayter.


    Subtle spatial fluctuations rippled through the starry sky.


    A humanoid creature covered in scales emerged.


    "This is the ''medium''," General Panyong''s mind moved slightly, and ten items appeared.


    These ten items, from the ten evolvers on the list, were collected by General Panyong''s men from thes where they lived.


    They hade into contact with these ten evolvers and retained some of their aura.


    Although the curse killing technique was unpredictable and difficult to defend against, it required the use of a ''medium'' to perform.


    From cause to effect.


    Locking effect to cause.


    "Panyong, remember your promise."


    The humanoid creature covered in scales stared at General Panyong for a moment, then swallowed the ten ''mediums'' in one gulp.


    Buzz!!


    Invisible ripples spread out.


    The humanoid creature covered in scales seemed to be affected by some kind of bacsh and began to copse.


    "That''s it," General Panyong nodded slightly.


    "Don''t worry, after you die, your n will be treated well."


    General Panyong looked at the gradually copsing figure and spoke.


    For the humanoid creature covered in scales, the remaining thousand years of lifespan were far from enough to make further progress.


    "Now."


    "Let''s wait."


    General Panyong looked at the other consciousnesses.


    Trading a thousand years of lifespan from a rare seventh-rank curse killer for the lives of ten fourth and fifth rank youngsters was definitely a big loss.


    But as long as one of these ten youngsters was the ThirteenthPeak Master, it would be a gain, not just a gain, but a big one.


    Main star of Red Kun.


    The three-eyed man finished his cultivation.


    "Hmph."


    "Fool."


    The three-eyed man nced downward.


    Seeing Fang Qing hastily leaving, it was obvious that something was going on.


    The three-eyed man didn''t like Fang Qing, not only because Fang Qing was just a Silver Mark initially, but also because he had expended a lot of favors to other disciples for his friend Lin Yuan.


    As a result, Fang Qing had a good image in the Red Kun Lineage.


    "True strong ones are always lonely; they don''t need any friends. Needing friends only shows that one is not strong enough."


    The three-eyed man''s gaze was firm.


    "I..."


    The three-eyed man let out a sigh of relief, about to get up.


    Just then.


    An invisible wave descended.


    "No!!!"


    The three-eyed man widened his eyes, and the bloodline mark on his brow opened.


    But it was all meaningless; as the wave dispersed, the three-eyed man''s soul rapidly dissipated.


    At the same time.


    On the main star of Red Kun Star Domain.


    The other nine evolvers died inexplicably.


    Virtual world.


    Personal space.


    Fang Qing sat in front of Lin Yuan, his face full of anger.


    "The despicable aliens actually used curse killing techniques," Fang Qing blurted out the mysterious death of the ten evolvers, including the three-eyed man.


    This matter wasn''t a secret on the main star of Red Kun. The final fate of the Thirteenth Peak Master, attributed to curse killing techniques from aliens, gradually calmed the situation.


    "Curse killing technique?" Lin Yuan''s mind stirred.


    As the ThirteenthPeak Master, he naturally knew about this mysterious and unpredictable method.


    The curse killing technique was a special application of thew of cause and effect, even more esoteric than soul attacks.


    Of course, using the curse killing technique also came with a huge cost; it required crossing at least two major realms to be effective, and each use consumed a hundred years of lifespan.


    "What would the aliens want with the curse killing technique?" Lin Yuan spected inwardly but still asked.


    "Others say that the aliens witnessed the Thirteenth Peak Master''s performance in the arena and targeted these ten evolvers for curse killing, presumably searching for the ThirteenthPeak Master," Fang Qing said in a lowered voice.


    "I see." Lin Yuan nodded.


    At this moment, he felt somewhat fortunate that he hadn''t exposed his identity.


    If, due to the suppression from ck Prison Ao, Lin Yuan couldn''t help but reveal his identity earlier.


    Even if he could safely return to the main star of Red Kun, once ''Lin Yuan''s identity was exposed, it would allow the aliens to lock onto him.


    Lin Yuan had lived on Cann Star for so many years; he couldn''t guarantee that he hadn''t left behind any ''mediums''.


    If the aliens found the ''mediums'', Lin Yuan wasn''t sure if he could survive another curse killing attempt.


    Although as a disciple of the Red Kun Star Lord, he might have some means to block the effects of the curse, if he failed to do so...


    "Keep a low profile."


    "I still need to keep a low profile." Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    He was thankful that he had endured the pressure from ck Prison Ao in the end.


    "That three-eyed man." Lin Yuan felt that the three-eyed man had probably shielded him from disaster.


    In the Seven Star Cave world, there were three CrimsonMarkers, over a hundred Gold Markers, and over a million Silver Markers.


    The three-eyed man was probably the most simr to the ThirteenthPeak Master who was currently causing chaos in the arena.


    After all, the other two CrimsonMarkers had too distinctive personal characteristics; the silver-haired woman, Silver Spirit, was skilled in spatial attacks, and the nearly three-meter-tall brute force expert was skilled in strength attacks.


    Neither of them resembled the Thirteenth Peak Master much.


    As for the Gold and Silver Markers below them, there were too many to determine.


    Only the three-eyed man, this CrimsonMarker, seemed to fit.


    "I wonder if the ThirteenthPeak Master is okay." Fang Qing suddenly sounded despondent. Since the aliens dared to use curse killing, they must be confident; curse killing across infinite distances required a huge price.


    "We''ll find out tomorrow," Lin Yuanforted.


    "That''s true." Fang Qing was slightly stunned.


    The ThirteenthPeak Master would challenge various evolvers in the arena every morning and afternoon.


    If the ThirteenthPeak Master was fine, he would surely appear tomorrow.


    "I hope nothing''s happened." Fang Qing whispered.


    If the ThirteenthPeak Master were to die at the hands of the aliens again, just like thousands of years ago, the Red Kun Star Lord might do something crazy.


    The next day.


    Virtual world.


    Arena.


    Inside a box.


    Several figures gathered here.


    "Whether the ThirteenthPeak Master was curse killed or not, we''ll know soon."


    These figures were naturally transformed aliens; the virtual worldwork couldn''tpletely block them out.


    Some aliens skilled in disguise could perfectly mimic the aura of humans. As long as their identities were correct, they could smoothly enter the virtual world.


    "If the ThirteenthPeak Master hasn''t appeared by now, there''s a high probability he was curse killed."


    The figures looked at each other with hopeful eyes, staring down at the arena below.


    This time, to curse kill the ThirteenthPeak Master, they had paid a much higher price than thousands of years ago when they assassinated the Red Kun Star Lord''s disciple.


    To assassinate that disciple, only a few sixth-rank experts were involved.


    But this time, they had directly paid the lifespan of a seven-rank peak expert skilled in curse killing techniques.


    It was worth noting that seven-rank peak experts skilled in curse killing techniques were even rarer than eighth-rank experts.


    If it weren''t for this expert volunteering, they wouldn''t have been able tomand such a sacrifice.


    "Thirteenth Peak Master."


    "You must die."


    "If you don''t die, wouldn''t our efforts be in vain?"


    Several aliens thought quickly in their minds, their eyes fixed on the figure of the ThirteenthPeak Master below.


    Soon.


    A figure appeared on the stage.


    That was the opponent of the ThirteenthPeak Master.


    "If he hasn''t shown up by now, it should be..."


    Joy surged in the hearts of several aliens.


    However, in the next moment.


    The figure of the ThirteenthPeak Master appeared on the other side of the arena.


    Silence.


    The box fell into silence.


    Several aliens'' faces turned ugly as they stared fixedly at the figure of the ThirteenthPeak Master below.


    "Was the curse killing a mistake?"


    "Is the ThirteenthPeak Master still alive?"


    "It''s over."


    Several aliens took a deep breath, bitterness evident on their faces.


    "Let''s go."


    "No need to watch anymore."


    "Let''s go back and report."


    Several aliens disconnected from the virtual world.


    When they saw the figure of the ThirteenthPeak Master, they realized that they couldn''t stop his rise anymore.


    With what could they stop him? Curse kill him again? Not to mention if they could find another willing seventh-rank peak expert skilled in curse killing techniques to cooperate with them.


    Even if they found one, what then? How would they select the target?


    The ten evolvers they had chosen previously were the most likely targets for the ThirteenthPeak Master.


    Now that they had all failed, they needed to choose from a muchrger pool of evolvers.


    The possibility of another failed curse killing attempt would be much higher than the first.


    Virtual world.


    Personal space.


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes.


    Through challenging evolvers from various evolutionary paths, Lin Yuan''s proficiency in the martial path of evolution continued to improve.


    "Someone wants to visit me?"


    Lin Yuan nced at the visitor list.


    Since being suppressed by ck Prison Ao,


    There were very few people who came to visit him.


    Even when Fang Qing appeared and resolved the situation where Cann Star''s trade was cut off, Lin Yuan, this person, was still put on many forces'' ''cklists''.


    Too arrogant, too troublesome.


    Today he offended ck Prison Ao; who knows who he''ll offend tomorrow.


    "Mr. Lin, I''m Director Shi Cai from the Huiyin Group."


    A man with a hooked nose smiled.


    "Hello."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    "We hope that Mr. Lin can take the lead and help us contact Lord Fang Qing."


    The man with the hooked nose stated his purpose.


    "Mr. Lin, rest assured, the Huiyin Group will definitely reward you generously afterward."


    The man with the hooked nose promised.


    "No need."


    "I can''t promise you that."


    Lin Yuan shook his head and refused.


    So these people wanted to get to know Fang Qing through him?


    "In that case."


    "Sorry to bother you."


    The man with the hooked nose maintained his smile.


    He directly exited Lin Yuan''s personal space.


    When he returned to reality, a hint of gloom appeared on the man''s face.


    "Don''t you even see what situation you''re in now?"


    "And still so arrogant."


    The man with the hooked nose sneered.


    In his view, Lin Yuan was currently only able to live so well because of Lord Fang Qing''s favor.


    If he didn''t take advantage of Lord Fang Qing''s current appreciation for him to make more connections with other forces, it would be aplete waste of resources.


    "Wait and see."


    "I''ll see what your future holds."


    The man with the hooked nose sat in his seat. If Lord Fang Qing could protect you for now, could he protect you for a lifetime?


    In the future, when you lose Lord Fang Qing''s protection, what will you use to face the ck Prison Family?


    Central Continent Manor.


    Underground training ground in the main building.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    In front of him, a reddish "stone" was ced.


    Under his extraordinaryprehension, the inspirations emanating from the red "stone" and the insights gained from sparring with various evolvers were constantlybined.


    He rapidly improved his proficiency in the martial path of evolution and enhanced the efficiency of soul integration.


    Until he reached a critical point.


    It''s unknown how much time passed.


    An hour.


    Ten hours.


    Or a day.


    Lin Yuan quietly opened his eyes.


    "I..."


    Lin Yuan only felt a sense of pletion'' emerging from every part of his body, or more urately, from the depths of his soul.


    "Soul integration."


    Lin Yuan immediately began to sense the degree of his own soul integration.


    After a moment.


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    Because in this world, his soul integration degree had already reached...


    One hundred percent.


    ...


    I need POWAAAA :D

 Chapter 144

    Chapter 144


    "Is my soul integration already at one hundred percent?" Lin Yuan felt delighted. Ever since that sense of pleteness" emerged from the depths of his soul, Lin Yuan had spected about this aspect.


    Now that it was confirmed, naturally, his mood was good.


    "My current strength..." Lin Yuan closed his eyes slightly, carefully feeling himself. Compared to before reaching one hundred percent soul integration, Lin Yuan had hardly undergone any changes.


    His physical body, strength, speed, and everything else were almost indistinguishable before and after.


    But Lin Yuan had a feeling of absolute control. For example, with the same amount of strength, before reaching one hundred percent soul integration, Lin Yuan could only use it to destroy a city. But now, Lin Yuan could use the same amount of strength to destroy ten or even a hundred cities.


    "No wonder it''s said that once soul integration reaches one hundred percent, advancing to the sixth rank is as simple as eating and drinking, with no risk involved." Lin Yuan looked like he had gained some insight. He had previously been puzzled by this. Even advancing from the first rank to the second rank required some risk, right? Howe there''s no risk involved in advancing from the fifth rank to the sixth?


    It turned out that when the soul waspletely integrated with the fundamental evolutionary path of oneself, the evolver had already stepped into the sixth rank in terms of realm. With a sixth-rank realm as the basis, it was naturally not difficult to advance to the sixth rank, and the control of a sixth-rank evolver made the breakthrough exceptionally simple.


    "Also, martial arts..." Lin Yuan''s gaze became slightly hot. By using martial arts as his fundamental evolutionary path, Lin Yuan, at this moment, seemed to have merged with martial arts.


    "I am martial arts." Lin Yuan connected his consciousness to the virtual world. Entering a specialized training ground, the surrounding space automatically simted a small asteroid environment.


    Standing above the asteroid, where there was no air and gravity was extremely low,pletely matching the cosmic coefficient, Lin Yuan looked down, raised his right hand, and struck a punch towards the asteroid below.


    Boom!


    A terrifying pressure erupted. Only on the surface of the asteroid, where Lin Yuan''s punchnded, there was an imprint tens of kilometers in size.


    This imprint''s power prated through more than half of the asteroid, causing earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions on the surface, and finally, the asteroid disintegrated directly into countless meteorite fragments flying in all directions.


    "I am now infinitely close to a sixth-rank evolver, right? I can even be considered a weakened version of a sixth-rank?" Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, looking radiant.


    Although the asteroid was not asrge as a normal inhabited, the effect caused by Lin Yuan''s full-force punch was indeed no different from that of a sixth-rank evolver.


    At least it was close to the threshold of the sixth rank, barely belonging to the same level.


    "ording to reason, even if soul integration reaches one hundred percent, depending on the different evolutionary paths, the degree of enhancement to the evolver''s strength varies."


    "Like mine, directly causing the strength to skyrocket to the threshold of the sixth rank, is considered extremely rare, or even iparably rare?" Lin Yuan disconnected his consciousness from the virtual world, returned to reality, and secretly thought.


    You see, Lin Yuan is still not a sixth-rank evolver, when he breaks through, both his physical body and soul will undergo a substantial transformation, and his strength will increase significantly, possibly directly reaching a stronger level within the sixth rank.


    "When I reach the sixth rank, and reveal my identity, it should make many forces unable to believe it." Lin Yuan knew that his true identity would cause a great stir in the Red Kun Star Domain, and might even spread to other star domains.


    A sixth-rank evolver under a hundred years old, unlike Wan Yang Star Domain''s holy son, who enjoyed the full support of the Wan Yang Star Lord shortly after birth.


    Lin Yuan stepping into the sixth rank was entirely relying on his own aptitude and talent.


    From the fourth rank to the sixth rank, it only took a few years?


    Looking at the countless geniuses born within the human civilization territory in the past ten thousand years, there weren''t many who could cultivate at this speed.


    "A sixth-rank evolver''s life essence undergoes transformation. It takes some time to integrate one''s life imprint into the cosmic starry sky. In this way, even if one falls in the future, one can still be ''resurrected'' by the strongest of the human race."


    Why is it that when you reach the sixth rank, you can openly reveal your identity without fearing assassination by the alien races?


    As long as the alien races are willing to pay a sufficient price, not to mention the sixth rank, even the seventh rank can''t stop them.


    The reason is that reaching the sixth rank grants the qualification to be "resurrected."


    Below the sixth rank, the life essence is too weak to leave an imprint. If you die, you really die.


    The alien races are unwilling to assassinate sixth-rank and above evolvers because even if they pay a huge price to assassinate a talented evolver, there''s a possibility of being "resurrected" afterwards. This is apletely losing deal.


    Of course, even for human civilization, "resurrecting" a certain evolver would also bear great pressure.


    Many sixth and seventh-rank evolvers, even if they can be "resurrected," will not be "resurrected."


    "A few days before the Red Spirit Liquid arrives, I can finish the remaining challenges." Lin Yuan nced at the many evolvers he had applied to fight in the arena area.


    Anyway, there was nothing else to do now. Fighting against these talented evolvers from the human territory was also a kind of gain.


    Especially that Wan Yang Star Domain''s holy son. Since losing to the other party once, Lin Yuan had applied for another match after a few days, and the other party had agreed again.


    The next day.


    At the same time as before.


    Around the arena where Lin Yuan was about to appear, arge number of spectators had gathered.


    "Why is the Thirteenth Peak Lord sparring with the Wan Yang Holy Son again?"


    "Weren''t they just fighting recently? There''s a big gap in strength between the two."


    "Yes, does the Thirteenth Peak Lord enjoy being defeated?"


    Around the arena, countless spectators were discussing.


    Although they liked watching the Thirteenth Peak Lord in the arena, they wanted to see him crush and dominate his opponents, not be crushed and dominated.


    Especially some spectators from the Red Kun Star Domain were feeling uneasy. Watching their "idol" being incinerated by the Wan Yang Holy Son was torture.


    "Hahaha, Holy Son, keep going, crush your opponent."


    "Just a defeated underling, no match for our Holy Son."


    "Listen, people of the Red Kun Star Domain, next you will see our Holy Son crushing everything."


    Compared to the somber mood of the Red Kun Star Domain spectators, the spectators from the Wan Yang Star Domain were extremely excited.


    Anyway, the Thirteenth Peak Lord had a high status in the Red Kun Star Domain. Even though he had lost to the Wan Yang Holy Son once, if he could lose again, it would still be a satisfying sight.


    "What are you so proud of?"


    "The people from the Wan Yang Star Domain really have no manners."


    "The Wan Yang Holy Son is strong, but the Thirteenth Peak Lord is not weak. Is there a need to say such things?"


    Although the spectators from the Red Kun Star Domain felt frustrated, they didn''t know how to respond. Strength was the foundation of everything. In the previous battle between the Thirteenth Peak Lord and the Wan Yang Holy Son, the former was indeed inferior to thetter.


    This fact hadn''t changed, so they didn''t know how to refute the spectators from the Wan Yang Star Domain, feeling inferior like second-ss citizens.


    On the east side of the arena.


    Lin Yi sat with several good friends, waiting for the match to start.


    "Brother stood me up again."


    Looking left and right, Lin Yi realized that Lin Yuan still hadn''t shown up, and her face immediately fell.


    "Yi Yi, I heard your brother is also a genius evolver and won the championship in the arena on your?" Sitting next to Lin Yi, a girl with double ponytails asked curiously.


    She was from another and had met Lin Yi in the virtual world.


    "That''s right."


    Lin Yi''s face lit up with pride at the mention of it.


    She nced at the arena below and thought of the Thirteenth Peak Lord who was about to appear, shaking her head and saying, "Butpared to the Thirteenth Peak Lord, my brother is far behind."


    Not only far behind, but he also didn''t even want toe and watch, thinking Lin Yuan was hanging out with some friends again.


    "Very few evolvers canpare to the Thirteenth Peak Lord."


    Another girl beside her spoke, clearly extremely admiring of the Thirteenth Peak Lord.


    In the arena.


    This time, the simted environment was a deste, several timesrger than the Cann Star, enough for two peak-level evolvers of the fifth rank to fight.


    Whoosh.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared on a mountain top.


    Not long after.


    On another mountain top in the distance, the Wan Yang Holy Son appeared.


    The Wan Yang Holy Son''s face was calm, and his aura exuded warmth and gentleness.


    "Thirteenth Peak Lord."


    The Wan Yang Holy Son looked towards Lin Yuan in the distance, inevitably feeling puzzled.


    Not long ago, he had just fought against this Thirteenth Peak Lord. He should have realized the gap in strength between them. Why did he still n to throw eggs at rocks now?


    As a strong person, the more he cared about his face, the more he wanted to win. Losing to the Wan Yang Holy Son once wasn''t enough; he wanted to lose twice?


    "Is this Thirteenth Peak Lord treating me as a whetstone after every battle, hoping to sharpen himself?"


    A smile appeared on the Wan Yang Holy Son''s face.


    A whetstone? That was when the strengths were simr, or roughly simr. Could his full force end the battle in the shortest time, and what kind of honing effect could it have?


    A few minutester.


    The match began.


    Lin Yuan and the Wan Yang Holy Son faced each other.


    "Thirteenth Peak Lord, be careful this time."


    The Wan Yang Holy Son''s mind moved slightly, and a hot breath began to spread.


    "You too."


    Lin Yuan smiled faintly.


    And then his figure disappeared from where he was standing.


    "Hmm?"


    The Wan Yang Holy Son was surprised.


    He hadn''t seen when Lin Yuan disappeared?


    "How did he be so fast?"


    The Wan Yang Holy Son''s face changed slightly.


    At this moment, the Wan Yang Holy Son only faintly felt that Lin Yuan still existed on the arena, but he couldn''t lock onto his exact position.


    "Relying solely on speed won''t be enough to defeat me."


    The Wan Yang Holy Son snorted coldly and instantly released his "Wan Yang Domain."


    In an instant.


    Centered on the Wan Yang Holy Son, within a radius of tens, hundreds, or even hundreds of miles, it waspletely filled with terrifying heat.


    "Wan Yang Heavenly Sun!!!"


    The Wan Yang Holy Son seemed to transform into a "star," continuously condensing mini-stars within his domain, releasing endless heat, and then exploding.


    Since Lin Yuan''s position couldn''t be locked down, the Wan Yang Holy Son decided to directly destroy arge area.


    After all, Lin Yuan must be within that area.


    Buzz.


    Just then.


    A figure appeared a kilometer away from the Wan Yang Holy Son.


    It was Lin Yuan.


    Facing the scorching heat and burning surroundings, Lin Yuan didn''t flinch. He extended his right hand towards the Wan Yang Holy Son and pped him.


    Boom.


    A terrifying force enveloped them.


    It collided with the Wan Yang Domain and the secret technique "Wan Yang Heavenly Sun."


    But what astonished the Wan Yang Holy Son was that the force from Lin Yuan''s p instantly pierced through the Wan Yang Domain.


    "Oh no."


    The Wan Yang Holy Son''s expression changed drastically, and he began to retreat.


    However, Lin Yuan took another step forward, appearing a hundred meters away from the Wan Yang Holy Son, and continued to p him.


    Boom boom boom.


    The air was torn apart. Lin Yuan''s attack was extremely fierce. Although it was just a simple p, it covered the surroundings and left no room for evasion for the Wan Yang Holy Son.


    Hiss.


    The Wan Yang Holy Son could only grit his teeth and take Lin Yuan''s p head-on.


    The next moment.


    The Wan Yang Holy Son''s figure exploded.


    Whoosh!


    Countless zing mes converged.


    Several miles away, the Wan Yang Holy Son''s figure condensed once again.


    "My Wan Yang Indestructible Body."


    The Wan Yang Holy Son''s face was filled with disbelief. The Nine Yang Divine Veinsbined with the Wan Fire True Crystal, along with the infinite power from the depths of the stars, allowed the Wan Yang Holy Son to cultivate the Wan Yang Indestructible Body.


    The Wan Yang Indestructible Body could temporarily energyize the flesh, simr to the embodiment of the "Thunder God," but even more profound and advanced.


    It had the effect of taking one''s ce in death.


    If it weren''t for the Wan Yang Indestructible Body, the Wan Yang Holy Son would have been crushed to death by Lin Yuan''s p just now, unable to survive.


    "I surrender."


    The Wan Yang Holy Son applied for surrender without hesitation. Although he wasn''t dead now, the Wan Yang Indestructible Body could still take a few more deaths.


    But witnessing the terrifying power disyed by Lin Yuan, the Wan Yang Holy Son didn''t want to waste any more time.


    Even if he relied on the Wan Yang Indestructible Body to drag on, what would be the point? He would only continue to take a few ps, with no face or dignity left.


    "You should be able to step into the sixth rank at any time."


    "See you in the sixth rank."


    The Wan Yang Holy Son nced deeply at Lin Yuan and then disappeared.


    The difference in strength between Lin Yuan before and after was too great. The only possibility was that his soul had undergone aplete transformation.


    "Did I win just like that?"


    Lin Yuan also felt that he had won too easily. By taking the path of martial evolution as the fundamental path, his soul''s integration and transformation to one hundred percent had greatly boosted his strength.


    "What''s going on?"


    Lin Yuan looked around.


    He found that everything had quieted down.


    On the stands of the arena, countless spectators, whether from the Red Kun Star Domain, the Wan Yang Star Domain, or other neutral spectators from other star domains, were all stunned, their mouths agape.

 Chapter 145

    Chapter 145


    Just a few breaths had passed.


    Around the arena, countless spectators gradually realized what had happened and erupted into deafening cheers.


    The cheers were like a tsunami, especially from the spectators of the Red Kun Star Domain, almost inciting a riot.


    "What just happened?"


    "The Wan Yang Holy Son voluntarily surrendered to the Thirteenth Peak Master with just two ps?"


    "That''s the Wan Yang Holy Son? What''s going on, did he concede defeat voluntarily?"


    "Concede defeat? Are you kidding? Didn''t you see the two ps from the Thirteenth Peak Master, smashing the Wan Yang Holy Son''s body to pieces? Although we don''t know what means the Wan Yang Holy Sonused to survive, it''s obvious that he was no match for the Thirteenth Peak Master."


    "What exactly happened? Wasn''t the Thirteenth Peak Master unable to defeat the Wan Yang Holy Sonbefore? Howe now? In just a few days, there''s a reversal in strength?"


    "It''s terrifying! The Thirteenth Peak Master is terrifying! With just two ps, he smashed the Wan Yang Holy Son''s body to pieces. With such strength, he''s probably reached the sixth rank threshold."


    "What were those people from the Wan Yang Star Domain barking about earlier? Saying something about a defeated underling? Continue talking now."


    Countless discussions erupted.


    If it were just the Wan Yang Holy Son being defeated, it wouldn''t have caused such a huge reaction. There are countless geniuses in human civilization, and while the Wan Yang Holy Sonis undoubtedly at the top of the hierarchy, he''s by no means invincible.


    However, the one who defeated the Wan Yang Holy Son was none other than the Thirteenth Peak Master who had recently been defeated by the Prince.


    Such a contrast, coupled with the Thirteenth Peak Master''s casual demeanor when defeating the Wan Yang Holy Son, ignited the emotions of countless spectators.


    "Wow, the Thirteenth Peak Master is amazing."


    Lin Yi also stood up excitedly.


    "So scary! That''s the Wan Yang Holy Son, and he was just crushed." Several of Lin Yi''s friends nearby showed expressions of amazement.


    "Of course."


    Lin Yi suddenly thought of her brother.


    "If only my brother could learn from the Thirteenth Peak Master, that would be great."


    Lin Yi sighed. It''s not that she despised Lin Yuan, but in all this time, Lin Yuan hadn''t apanied her to watch the Thirteenth Peak Master''s matches.


    Lin Yi didn''t know what to say about such ack of interest in strong individuals.


    "Our junior brother."


    In a box, the twelve peak masters of the Red Kun Lineage looked at each other.


    Initially, they were wondering why their junior brother challenged the Wan Yang Holy Son. But now, everyone understood.


    "He''s too abnormal."


    All the peak masters had the same thought.


    They were aware of some of their junior brother''s true identity. Until now, he hadn''t even reached a hundred years old.


    But now, the strength disyed by their junior brother indicated that his soul integration had reached perfection.


    In other words, their junior brother could enter the sixth rank at any time.


    This rate of cultivation made the nine senior brothers who were still at the sixth rank feel a bit embarrassed.


    "I thought it would take decades, but it looks like it''s going to happen in just one month." The eldest senior brother''s expression was particrly strange.


    In order to please their junior brother, he had specially dispatched a clone to preside over the affairs of the Cann Star and prevent the ck Prison Ao from causing trouble.


    The eldest senior brother estimated that he would have to wait for several decades at least.


    But now it seemed that it might just take a month.


    "This is one of the top geniuses of our Human Alliance."


    On another tform, Zong Bai, Lu Xi Guang, and Cao Rong were all shocked.


    They had seen the most talented evolvers, and Lin Yuan was undoubtedly among them.


    During the teampetition of the arena, they were even on the same team as Lin Yuan.


    In the end, Lin Yuan''s performance did not disappoint, sessfully winning the arenapetition.


    However,pared to the Thirteenth Peak Master in the arena, Lin Yuan was simply not in the same league.


    "One of the future dominators of the Red Kun Star Domain." ck Prison Ao was also watching. The current performance of the Thirteenth Peak Master made it impossible for him to even look up. Perhaps in the future, when he became the head of the ck Prison Family, he would have the opportunity to meet this Thirteenth Peak Master.


    "Red Kun, you old man, you really got lucky."


    In the crimson pce, a man in white robes watched the arenapetition and was somewhat astonished when he saw Lin Yuan crush the Wan Yang Holy Sonwith two ps.


    "So he''spleted soul integration perfection so quickly. And afterpleting soul integration perfection, his strength has increased so dramatically. What kind of evolutionary path have you taught him?"


    The man in white robes was knowledgeable and understood that achieving soul integration perfection alone and having such a dramatic increase in strength meant that Lin Yuan and his fundamental evolutionary path were extremelypatible, and this evolutionary path had tremendous potential.


    "You''ll find out soon enough."


    The Red Kun Star Lord smiled. In fact, he was also very curious. The two ps Lin Yuan just made didn''t seem to follow the path of the Mysterious Yellow Evolutionary Way. Could it be that he was also practicing other evolutionary paths?


    "Red Kun, tell me the truth, how old is this disciple you''ve taken in? Is he over a hundred years old? "


    The man in white robes knew that the Red Kun Star Lord would not reveal the true identity of the Thirteenth Peak Master, so he did not ask about that. Instead, he inquired about his age.


    By knowing his age, one could roughly determine the talent of an evolver.


    If the true age of the Thirteenth Peak Master was already four or five hundred years old, five or six hundred years old, then he was just a normal genius.


    If he was less than a hundred years old.


    Then.


    It could only be said that the Red Kun Star Lord had truly acquired an extraordinary genius this time.


    "Not even a hundred years old."


    The Red Kun Star Lord hesitated for a moment before speaking.


    Not even a hundred years old?


    If Lin Yuan''s information was correct.


    He might not even be thirty years old?


    The Red Kun Star Lord himself found it somewhat unbelievable. He had been sitting in the Red Kun Star Domain for nearly two hundred thousand years and had never seen such a talented evolver.


    In the past, the Red Kun Star Lord had only heard rumors about such talented evolvers, but now, one had actually be his disciple.


    "Really less than a hundred years old?" The man in white robes took a deep breath. "My disciple didn''t lose unjustly."


    The man in white robes thought of the little disciple who had been beaten by Lin Yuan some time ago.


    "What a monster."


    The man in white robes couldn''t help but say.


    "Don''t say that. After reaching the sixth rank, there will be more challenges waiting for him. Our human civilization has progressed smoothly in the early stages and has shown terrifying talent, but there have also been evolvers who have stagnated at the sixth or seventh rank."


    The Red Kun Star Lord shook his head. "Don''t have too high expectations for Little Thirteen. The higher you stand, the harder you fall."


    "It''s still time to pretend?"


    The man in white robes rolled his eyes. What he said was true, but why did it feel so unpleasant to hear?


    "Shall I trade you this one disciple for a hundred of mine?" the man in white robes said.


    "Fuck you, he''s mine" the Red Kun Star Lord replied without hesitation.


    "It''s your move now."


    Several dayster.


    At the Central Maind Manor.


    After finishing hisst match, Lin Yuan came out of the manor.


    "Mr. Lin, these are your belongings," a man dressed in ck uniform stood outside the manor, behind him a several-meter-high box.


    Ding


    With identity authorization.


    Lin Yuan instructed the steward robot to carry the box to the underground training ground of the main building.


    Passing by thewn, Lin Yuan saw his parents chatting with his sister Lin Yi.


    "Mom, Dad, you have no idea how powerful the Thirteenth Peak Master is. With just two ps, he crushed the Wan Yang Holy Son. Do you know who the Wan Yang Holy Sonis? He''s the undisputed number one under the sixth rank in the Wan Yang Star Domain."


    Lin Yi was enthusiastically telling her parents about the glorious achievements of the Thirteenth Peak Master.


    "Amazing."


    "The Thirteenth Peak Master is really amazing."


    The parents nodded continuously beside them. Even without Lin Yi''s exnation, the recent topic they heard most often in the virtual world was about this.


    "I wonder when our Cann Star will produce someone like the Thirteenth Peak Master," mother LinQiong sighed.


    "Mom, what are you thinking? That''s the Thirteenth Peak Master. There''s only one in the Red Kun Star Domain out of over a million lifes. It''s already lucky enough for our Cann Star to produce someone like my brother, let alone the Thirteenth Peak Master? Absolutely impossible."


    Lin Yi shook her head and exined to Lin Qiong.


    Although LinQiong was also an evolver, she didn''t understand much about the world of evolvers. She only knew how powerful the Thirteenth Peak Master was.


    But exactly how powerful, she didn''t know. So she had the idea of whether Cann Star could produce an evolver like the Thirteenth Peak Master.


    Lin Yi couldn''t help but smile inwardly.


    Can such a shallow pond like Cann Star produce a real dragon like the Thirteenth Peak Master?


    The underground training ground of the main building.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, looking at the box in front of him.


    The box contained the ''Red Spirit Liquid'' that Lin Yuan had applied for.


    In order to ensure a smooth breakthrough to the sixth rank, Lin Yuan had applied for a rge basin'' of Red Spirit Liquid this time.


    "It''s time to break through."


    Lin Yuan steadied his mind and made a decision.


    Internally, soul integration conversion had reached one hundred percent.


    Externally, the rge basin'' of Red Spirit Liquid satisfied all the consumption during the breakthrough period.


    "Hou Ming."


    Lin Yuan thought for a moment and called the captain of the guards, Hou Ming.


    "For the time being, as long as I haven''te out, no matter what happens, don''t let anyone get close."


    Lin Yuan spoke.


    "Yes, sir."


    Captain of the guards Hou Ming respectfully replied.


    Lin Yuan returned to the underground training ground.


    "Let''s begin."


    Lin Yuan looked at the rge basin'' of Red Spirit Liquid in front of him and gently sucked in.


    The Red Spirit Liquid evaporated into the air at a visible speed, integrating into Lin Yuan''s body.


    Under the influx of vast and pure energy, Lin Yuan began to release the control of his physical and soul.


    ttering.


    The Red Spirit Liquid visibly diminished at an astonishing speed.


    And Lin Yuan''s physical and soul rapidly grew stronger.


    Why are sixth-rank evolvers called Star-Falling level? It''s because their physical and soul have reached an unbelievable stage. In the blink of an eye, they can inhale and exhale cosmic energy from the outside world, dissipating many ster radiations, without relying on the internal environment of the.


    For sixth-rank evolvers, medium and low-level lifes have already be restrictive for them, just like trapping a shark in a small pond.


    The battlefield of sixth-rank evolvers is in the starry sky.


    Buzzing.


    As Lin Yuan''s physical and soul continued to transform and sublimate, they gradually began to affect the surroundings, forming a unique life maic field belonging to sixth-rank evolvers.


    Of course, ordinary evolvers cannot perceive such an effect, and even fourth or fifth-rank evolvers cannot feel it.


    Only


    "Hmm?"


    "Is our junior brother breaking through?"


    A bald man was walking leisurely, as if he sensed something, his gaze instantly turned towards the direction of the Central Maind.


    "Protect our junior brother."


    The bald man''s figure disappeared, appearing instantly at the edge of the Central Maind.


    "Although the possibility is small, at this time, if a group of seventh-rank aliense to kill, I canpletely block them. If my junior brother breaks through, I''ll buy him time."


    "If eighth-rank aliense, I also have enough time to take my junior brother away."


    The bald man thought to himself.


    Theoretically, the aliens should still not know Lin Yuan''s true identity at this time, otherwise they would have sent strong ones to kill him long ago.


    On the other side of Cann Star.


    A tiny mouse-like creature lying on the bed, just one and a half meters tall.


    Several strong men beside him were sweating profusely, massaging him.


    "A little harder, did you guys not eatst night?"


    "Harder, I''m telling you, as long as it feelsfortable, money is not a problem."


    This tiny mouse-like creature was enjoying himself.


    Suddenly.


    The strong mouse-like creature suddenly shivered.


    "Hmm?"


    The mouse-like creature looked towards the direction of the Central Maind, his small eyes widening.


    "Is he breaking through to the sixth rank?"


    The mouse-like creature was dumbfounded.


    He remembered that the ''Lin Yuan'' he had been instructed to protect by the Goddess of Wisdom only had fourth-rank strength?


    How did he suddenly reach the sixth rank?


    "How long has it been?"


    The mouse-like creature almost thought the time was confused, but after some thought, he confirmed that he had not been on Cann Star for long, not even a year.


    "What a freak."


    The mouse-like creature blinked.


    Even if he knew, the ''Lin Yuan'' who could make the Goddess of Wisdom intervene and assign him as a bodyguard on this must not be an ordinary person.


    But in just this period of time, crossing two major realms is too terrifying.


    Central Maind Manor.


    Main building''s underground training ground.


    "So this is the sixth rank."


    Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes.


    At this moment, he felt that everything in front of him had changed. The numerous cosmic energies pervading between heaven and earth were clear and distinct to him, especially the forces of the moon and the sun, which were vividly visible in his eyes.


    "I finally seeded."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    In the main world, whether it was human civilization or other alien civilizations, the sixth rank was a dividing point. It marked the boundary betweenary life and cosmic life.


    Before the sixth rank, life was extremely fragile. Once they left the, they could barely survive without relying on other tools.


    But at the sixth rank, the universe and the stars became more like home.


    Swoosh.


    Lin Yuan''s figure disappeared.


    The next moment.


    Lin Yuan appeared outside of Cann Star.


    Under the deep and vast cosmic sky.


    Lin Yuan took a deep breath.


    The originally chaotic and restless cosmic energy behaved obediently like a cat, all being absorbed into his body.


    "Cann Star."


    Lin Yuan turned his head and looked towards Cann Star in the distance.


    At this moment, the massive Cann Star seemed somewhat feeble in front of him. Even with the''s defense system, as long as Lin Yuan wished, he could prate this in a short time.


    The lives of fifty billion citizens of Cann Star were at Lin Yuan''s fingertips.


    The''s defense system could only dy Lin Yuan for a while, but it would be difficult to stop himpletely.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan seemed to notice something and looked to the left front.


    He saw the figure of a bald man appearing.


    "Junior brother."


    "Senior brother?"


    Lin Yuan immediately recognized this bald man as his senior brother.


    Their auras were almost identical.


    "And there."


    Lin Yuan''s gaze shifted slightly as he looked towards another position.


    He saw a dwarf-like man appearing.


    "Let''s not get too excited."


    The dwarf-like man immediately spoke, "It was the Goddess of Wisdom who sent me."


    "The Goddess of Wisdom."


    Lin Yuan connected with the Goddess of Wisdom, and after confirming, nodded slightly.


    "Is it really the Goddess of Wisdom?"


    The bald man was somewhat shocked. When he was protecting Lin Yuan just now, he sensed the aura of the dwarf-like man.


    The two almost started fighting, until the dwarf-like man realized that the bald man was not an enemy, he exined on his own initiative that he was ordered by the Goddess of Wisdom toe and protect ''Lin Yuan''.


    Although the bald man was half-believing and half-doubting, he stopped the idea of making a move. After all, he didn''t sense any killing intent from the dwarf-like man.


    And during the time he protected Lin Yuan, the dwarf-like man didn''t make a move either.


    If thetter really had murderous intentions, he wouldn''t have waited until Lin Yuan broke through to the sixth rank to show up.


    "Mr. Lin is... the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun lineage?"


    The dwarf-like man carefully looked at Lin Yuan and said softly.


    In fact, it was not difficult to guess. It was well known that the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun lineage was about to break through to the sixth rank, and at this moment, Lin Yuan happened to break through to the sixth rank. The two could easily be associated with each other.


    Moreover, Lin Yuan was apanied by a seventh-rank powerhouse.


    With such a background, only the Red Kun lineage could have it.


    "Thank you, Mr. Mouse, for protecting me during this time."


    Lin Yuan learned the general situation from the Goddess of Wisdom and immediately expressed his gratitude.


    "There''s no need for that. I''m just following orders."


    The dwarf-like man shook his head. "I have also been curious about the identity of the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun lineage. I just didn''t expect that it would turn out to be ''Mr. Lin'' that I''m protecting."


    The dwarf-like man''s expression was full of amazement.


    He had a premonition that soon, the entire Red Kun Star Domain, and even the surrounding star domains, would be shaken by the true identity of the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun lineage.

 Chapter 146

    Chapter 146


    "Mr. Lin has reached Rank Six, I''ll take my leave," the dwarf man said, bowing slightly to Lin Yuan before disappearing on the spot.


    He had been tasked by the Goddess of Wisdom to protect Lin Yuan until he reached Rank Six. Now that Lin Yuan had reached this stage, his mission was consideredplete.


    Moreover, it was evident that Lin Yuan and the bald man had something to discuss, and it would be impolite for him to intrude.


    "So, this is a king of the Mouse Demon n?" the eldest senior brother remarked, ncing at the departing dwarf man and speaking softly.


    "The Mouse Demon n? A king?" Lin Yuan''s mind stirred.


    He was familiar with the Mouse Demon n, having been assimted into human civilization for millions of years. The fact that the Goddess of Wisdom entrusted the dwarf man to protect him showed absolute trust.


    In fact, these races that had integrated into human civilization over the millennia might be even more loyal to humanity than some human beings.


    Their rtives and tribe members were all within human civilization''s territory. If they chose to betray, all their fellow tribe members would suffer as well.


    As for the title of "king," it referred to a pinnacle Evolver at Rank Seven. Unlike the twelve stages within each rank from Rank One to Rank Six, there were only three stages in Rank Seven.


    From weaker to stronger, they were: Baron, Marquis, and King.


    A King at Rank Seven was already at the pinnacle of that rank. Even on the battlefield of the alien races, a king was enough to dominate a region.


    "Thank you, senior brother, for protecting me during this time," Lin Yuan said solemnly. The moment he saw his eldest senior brother, he realized why his senior brother was confident when he asked for advice on how to prevent ck Prison Ao from attacking him.


    "As brothers, there''s no need for thanks," the eldest senior brother waved his hand.


    "Let''s go."


    "Junior brother, since the news of your breakthrough to Rank Six hasn''t spread yet, let''s hurry back to the Red Kun Main Star," the eldest senior brother said immediately, as if he had remembered something.


    The Mouse Demon n dwarf man knew that Lin Yuan had already reached Rank Six, but he would never spread the news. So, until now, no one else knew about Lin Yuan''s breakthrough to Rank Six.


    Even the Evolvers on the Cann Star couldn''t sense the subtle fluctuations caused by Lin Yuan''s breakthrough from Rank Five to Rank Six.


    "All right," Lin Yuan nodded, ncing at the Cann Star. "We..."


    "You want to know how to get back to the Red Kun Main Star, right?" The eldest senior brother smiled faintly. "If it were just me, I''d leisurely take a spaceship back. But with you here, to avoid any unexpected problems, let''s teleport directly."


    After the eldest senior brother finished speaking, a five-colored transparent crystal appeared in front of them.


    The crystal was shaped like a "magic cube" and emitted a faint spatial fluctuation.


    "This is the Crystal Magic Cube, bestowed by our teacher. Once crushed, it will form a spatial channel, leading to the Red Kun Main Star on the other side," the eldest senior brother said with a smile.


    Crack.


    The eldest senior brother grasped the Crystal Magic Cube and gently squeezed it. The crystal cube instantly turned to powder, and the spatial force within it began to gather.


    In front of the eldest senior brother, a spatial gate formed.


    "Let''s go in, junior brother," the eldest senior brother said, closing his eyes to sense it. "The spatial channel is very stable, enough for a Rank Six lifeform to pass through."


    "Senior brother," Lin Yuan looked down at the Cann Star.


    "Are you worried about your family?" The eldest senior brother smiled wryly. "Rest assured, once you return to the main star, we''ll inform the Morning Star (Dawn Star, it''s the Dawn Gxy main star) immediately of your identity as soon as possible. Then the Morning Star will make an announcement to the public."


    "As soon as the Morning Star receives the news, they will send a dedicated guard to protect your family on the Cann Star."


    The eldest senior brother paused for a moment and continued, "Actually, junior brother, you don''t need to worry about your family''s safety."


    "The alien races like to assassinate our human genius Evolvers, but they''re not interested in the families of genius Evolvers."


    "Not interested?" Lin Yuan was surprised.


    "For example, what I mean is..." The eldest senior brother smiled and said, "If your family were to be assassinated by the alien races, would you be discouraged, junior brother?"


    "No," Lin Yuan shook his head.


    "I see," Lin Yuan suddenly realized.


    High-level Evolvers possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth, and naturally, their mental state was almost perfect. If the death of rtives and family members caused a high-level Evolver''s mental state to copse, then what was the point of cultivating for so many years?


    The death of rtives and family members would only make an Evolver hate the alien races even more. Especially for genius-level Evolvers, the death of rtives might be a catalyst for faster breakthroughs.


    As for capturing family members and threatening them? Over the long years of human civilization, no Evolver would ept threats from the alien races.


    Therefore, unless under special circumstances, the alien races basically wouldn''t have any thoughts about the families of human genius Evolvers. It was of no practical significance.


    "Let''s go in," Lin Yuan looked down at the Cann Star onest time before entering the spatial channel with his eldest senior brother.


    "The spatial force here is so chaotic," Lin Yuan eximed, feeling somewhat surprised. Even though there was a spatial channel blocking it, he could still sense the incredibly violent spatial force.


    The degree of chaos and violence here far exceeded the spatial force he had sensed when he finally entered the spatial crack in the Divine Weapon World.


    However, now, all the unruly and disorderly spatial force was blocked by the Crystal Magic Cube-formed spatial channel.


    "The rules of space are truly amazing," Lin Yuan followed his eldest senior brother, walking step by step within the spatial channel.


    With each step, Lin Yuan felt a vague sense of traversing a vast distance,pressed into mere steps within the spatial channel due to some form ofpression. Lin Yuan also had some insights into the rules of space.


    Within the Seven Cave World, the giant cube, representing a path of spatial evolution beyond Rank Six, had beenprehended by Lin Yuan to Rank Seven. However,pared to the mysteries of the current space rules he encountered, it was like a fireflypared to the moon.


    Soon enough, after just ''walking'' a few dozen steps, Lin Yuan arrived on the other side of the spatial channel. A farrger than the Cann Star appeared in the distance.


    "That''s the Red Kun Main Star," the eldest senior brother said with a smile.


    Only at this moment did the eldest senior brother feelpletely safe with Lin Yuan. Even if a pinnacle Evolver at Rank Eight were to attack now, with the Red Kun Star Lord being so close, a single thought from the teacher could intervene.


    "So many strong ones," Lin Yuan faintly sensed that on the Red Kun Main Star, many high-level Evolvers lurked, and on the Red Kun Main Star, Rank Six Evolvers were no longer rare.


    "Now that I have reached Rank Six, my soul haspletely merged with the path of martial evolution," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    "Even someone as powerful as my teacher can''t see which path of evolution I''m cultivating."


    After bing one of the thirteen peak masters of the Red Kun Lineage, Lin Yuan was reluctant to return to the Red Kun Main Star because he was afraid that the martial path of evolution he was cultivating would be seen through by other high-level Evolvers.


    It should be noted that the martial path of evolution currently disyed potential to advance to the eighth rank of evolution. As the founder of this path, Lin Yuan, in a sense, was a ''seed'' of an evolutionary schr.


    This identity far surpassed that of the thirteen peak masters of the Red Kun Lineage, as any evolutionary schr represented the true foundation of the human civilization.


    Moreover, evolutionary schrs started at the eighth rank, and their citizenship level was even higher, making their influence much greater than that of individual Evolvers.


    "Follow me," the eldest senior brother''s mind moved slightly. Space around them twisted, isting their appearance and aura.


    Whoosh. The eldest senior brother led Lin Yuan into the Red Kun Main Star. Numerous fluctuations came, seemingly confirming their identity and permissions. Soon, they arrived at the central part of the, a continent formed by more than ten peaks.


    Lin Yuan looked around and saw a total of fourteen peaks, with thergest peak in the middle belonging to the teacher, the Red Kun Star Lord. The other thirteen peaks belonged to Lin Yuan and the other peak masters of the lineage.


    As they walked, the eldest senior brother said, "Now that junior brother hase to the main star, the Red Kun Lineage will update the information of the thirteen peak masters."


    "Junior brotheres from the Cann Star, which is a life in the Dawn Gxy. Therefore, the Red Kun Lineage will first announce to the Dawn Gxy and then spread it outward."


    "All right," Lin Yuan nodded. With his strength reaching Rank Six, he couldpletely bear the identity of one of the thirteen peak masters of the Red Kun Lineage, without any ''mismatch of virtue''.


    Except for the eldest senior brother, second senior brother, and third senior brother, the rest of the senior brothers were also at Rank Six.


    When the Red Kun Star Lord possessed the Star-Sea Kun, he dared to return to human civilization only when he reached Rank Seven. That was because the Red Kun Star Lord was not a conventional genius.


    The Star-Sea Kun he possessed was easily envied. For example, the ''parents'' of the Star-Sea Kun? And other special life races like the Star-Sea Kun?


    While the number of Star-Sea Kuns was indeed rare, there were still some, and the probability of powerful bloodlines giving birth to powerful individuals was much higher.


    It was precisely because of this that the Red Kun Star Lord dared to show himself at Rank Seven and return to human civilization.


    "I wonder what that guy in the Morning Star would look like when he finds out that his territory has produced such a top genius," the eldest senior brother said with some emotion.


    As one of the thirteen peak masters of the Red Kun Lineage, Lin Yuan had the real power of life and death over a star. Lin Yuan came from the Dawn Gxy, and he would likely have some affection for the Dawn Gxy.


    This affection was not great, butpared to otherpletely unfamiliar gxy, it would definitely lean towards the Dawn Gxy.


    Under such conditions, as long as the Dawn Gxy did not act recklessly, it was equivalent to having a backer, and Lin Yuan''s voice in the Red Kun Star Domain would be stronger.


    This was just the influence that Lin Yuan''s arrival in the vast Dawn Gxy would bring. As for the Cann Star, as long as Lin Yuan was willing, the Cann Star might even be promoted to a higher life because of Lin Yuan.


    Promoting from a middle life to a high life involved all aspects, such as the level of cosmic energy a could amodate, the number of strong individuals, and so on.


    Normally, high lifes were mostly born naturally, and there were very few middle lifes that were promoted to high lifes. Because the cost during this period was too great.


    But as long as there was Lin Yuan, the thirteenth peak master''s tacit support, the promotion of the Cann Star to a high life was only a matter of time.


    "Senior brother, shall we go see the teacher now?" Lin Yuan asked.


    "See the teacher?" The eldest senior brother shook his head.


    "There''s no need for that. When you entered the Red Kun Main Star, the teacher already knew. Whether to see him or not doesn''t make a difference."


    The eldest senior brother looked at Lin Yuan, his expression slightly solemn.


    "Junior brother, the most important thing for you right now isn''t to see the teacher or to continue cultivating."


    "It is..."


    "To imprint your own life essence and then brand it into the universe."

    Chapter 147


    "What?"


    "Lord Thirteenth Peak, really from our Dawn Gxy?"


    Within the department, all members were dumbfounded. They had indeed fantasized about this.


    After all, if it were true that Lord Thirteenth Peak hailed from the Dawn Gxy, then in the future, the entire Dawn Gxy would benefit because of Lord Thirteenth Peak.


    Not to mention receiving any resource tilt, at the very least, they wouldn''t be treated as resources to be tilted away.


    But everyone knew, that was just a fantasy.


    It was like before the lottery results were announced, almost every citizen who had bought a lottery ticket would fantasize about whether they would win a big prize.


    But in reality, there was only one winning spot, and the so-called fantasy was nothing more than unrealistic ''daydreaming.''


    However, now...


    Someone told them that the fantasy had be reality?


    "Lord Thirteenth Peak."


    Everyone''s hearts surged, immediately starting to browse the real information files sent from Red Kun Main Star about Lord Thirteenth Peak.


    "Lord Thirteenth Peak, real name ''Lin Yuan,'' from Cann Star, the champion of the previous Cann Star Arena Tournament, participated in the Seven-Star Cave Trial."


    "Lord Thirteenth Peak, actually born on a medium life? A mere medium life could produce such a top genius like Lord Thirteenth Peak?"


    "It''s unbelievable. The file says that when Lord Thirteenth Peak participated in the previous arena tournament, he was only at the fourth rank, and now he''s at the sixth?"


    "I see. Before participating in the arena tournament, Lord Thirteenth Peak should have cultivated on the medium life in such a backward environment, cultivated to the fourth rank, and then entered the Seven-Star Cave World, received guidance from the Star Lord''s trial, and immediately soared."


    The numerous members of the department looked at the information about Lord Thirteenth Peak, their minds buzzing with thoughts.


    "President."


    Just then, one of the members looked up and saw a burly man appear.


    "President."


    The others immediately looked up, respectfully addressing the burly man.


    Being called ''President'' on the Dawn Main Star meant only one thing, the ruler of the Dawn Association.


    The Dawn Association was the most powerful force in the Dawn Gxy, and the Dawn Gxy was named after it.


    Of course, no matter how powerful the Dawn Association was, it was subordinate to the Red Kun Lineage, and allmands came from the Red Kun Lineage.


    "Hahaha, Lord Thirteenth Peak reallyes from our Dawn Gxy?"


    The President of the Dawn Association''s face lit up with joy,pletely abandoning his usual high and mighty demeanor.


    "President, what should we do now?"


    The department head couldn''t help but ask.


    In theory, currently only the big shots from Red Kun Main Star knew the true identity of Lord Thirteenth Peak apart from them.


    "What to do?"


    "Let me think."


    The President of the Dawn Association''s mind was determined.


    He had been too excited just now, momentarily neglecting how to deal with this matter.


    Undoubtedly, Lord Thirteenth Peaking from the Dawn Gxy was a great opportunity for the Dawn Gxy.


    But no matter how great the opportunity was, it had to be seized. The Dawn Gxy had to seize this opportunity, especially not letting other forces take the lead.


    "Here''s the n."


    "I will personally go to Red Kun Main Star and show my face in front of Lord Thirteenth Peak to congratte him on reaching the sixth rank."


    The President of the Dawn Association said.


    Since the information about Lord Thirteenth Peak true identity had been transmitted from Red Kun Main Star, it meant that Lord Thirteenth Peak was already on Red Kun Main Star.


    "Secondly, Lord Thirteenth Peak should still have parents and a younger sister on Cann Star."


    Having learned of Lord Thirteenth Peak''s true identity, the President of the Dawn Association immediately connected to the virtual world and found basic information about ''Lin Yuan.''


    "Now, you take my security team and go to Cann Star at the fastest speed to protect the Lord''s parents."


    The President of the Dawn Association looked at the department head.


    He had a dual n in mind; after all, there was nothing wrong with protecting the Lord''s rtives.


    "Alright, now we can announce Lord Thirteenth Peak''s true identity."


    The President of the Dawn Association didn''t dare to dy. After receiving the file from the Red Kun Lineage, he had to act as quickly as possible on the Dawn Main Star.


    Of course, as the first person to know the news as the disseminator of the identity announcement, the President of the Dawn Association could make arrangements in advance.


    Dawn Gxy.


    The headquarters of the ck Prison Family.


    As one of the top five powers in the Red Kun Star Domain, the ck Prison Family had stationeds in all eight major Gxies.


    The so-called stationeds belonged to the entire belonging to the ck Prison Family, and they were also the branch points of the ck Prison Family in that Gxy.


    Overlooking everything rted to the ck Prison Family in the Dawn Gxy.


    The Dawn Gxy had 120k lifes. With such arge number ofs, almost all of them had more or less trade and economic exchanges with the ck Prison Family.


    And at this moment...


    The news about Lord Thirteenth Peak''s true identity had been transmitted from the Dawn Main Star to here.


    In a garden.


    A man in loose clothing was leisurely lying there.


    Two beautiful women beside him were gently massaging him.


    The man in loose clothing was named ck Prison Qin, the second uncle of ck Prison Ao.


    Previously, when ck Prison Ao severed all trade and economic exchanges between the ck Prison Family and Cann Star, it was through ck Prison Qin.


    "Although far from the core of family power, at least I''m free, with few people to control me."


    ck Prison Qin was in a good mood. Not every member of the ck Prison Family had ambitions to climb upwards; ck Prison Qin was quite satisfied with the current situation.


    Just as ck Prison Qin was enjoying himself...


    A low voice suddenly sounded in his ear.


    "ck Prison Qin,e to me."


    Although the voice didn''t have much fluctuation in tone, it was clearly suppressing some anger and fear.


    "Elder of the family calling me?"


    ck Prison Qin suddenly shivered.


    "Coming right away."


    Although he didn''t know what the elder wanted from him, ck Prison Qin knew for sure that he absolutely couldn''t defy the elder.


    Soon.


    ck Prison Qin arrived in front of the elder.


    "Elder."


    ck Prison Qin bowed deeply, keeping a very low posture.


    "ck Prison Qin, I''ve sent you a document. Take a good look at it."


    The elder took a deep breath, "Then, give me an exnation."


    "Ah?"


    "Alright."


    Upon hearing this, ck Prison Qin immediately began to receive a document sent by the elder.


    "The true identity of Lord Thirteenth Peak from the Red Kun Lineage is a evolver named ''Lin Yuan'' from the Dawn Gxy, specifically from the Cann Star."


    The more ck Prison Qin read, the more anxious he became. His mind trembled, his legs weakened, and he found it hard to control himself, sitting down abruptly.


    Lin Yuan?


    Wasn''t it the person his nephew, ck Prison Ao, had wanted him to sever ties with Cann Star for?


    And now.


    This Lin Yuan''s identity was Lord Thirteenth Peak?


    ck Prison Qin felt his head spinning, finding it even difficult to breathe.


    He understood the implications of his actions. He personally intervened, cutting off trade, and even publicly announced that it was because Lin Yuan didn''t know his ce.


    And now.


    Lin Yuan had be Lord Thirteenth Peak of the Red Kun Lineage, one of the prominent figures in the Red Kun Star Domain. Not to mention himself, even ck Prison Mo, the mainstay of the ck Prison Family, would have to show respect to Lin Yuan.


    And he had once suppressed Lin Yuan?


    "ck Prison Ao, ck Prison Ao, you''ve brought me endless trouble, you''ve condemned me to eternal damnation."


    ck Prison Qin crawled to the elder, clinging to his legs, pleading, "Elder, none of this is my doing, it''s all ck Prison Ao, it''s all ck Prison Ao who did this."


    "I have no grievances with Lin...I have no grievances with Lord Thirteenth Peak, it was all ck Prison Ao who made me do it."


    ck Prison Qin cried bitterly.


    He understood that he was finished. Whether he did this out of his own volition or under someone else''s orders, as someone directly suppressing Lord Thirteenth Peak, he definitely wouldn''t have a good oue.


    But even in death, there were differences; the ck Prison Family had ways to make the guilty suffer.


    "ck Prison Ao?"


    The elder closed his eyes. "I will discuss this matter with the family."


    "As for you."


    The elder looked at the weeping ck Prison Qin.


    Immediately.


    Guards approached and subdued ck Prison Qin.


    Once ck Prison Qin disappeared, the elder turned around to face the others behind him.


    These people were all high-ranking members of the ck Prison Family stationed in the Dawn Gxy, and they all wore solemn expressions.


    They had arrived before ck Prison Qin, and they had a rough understanding of the situation.


    "Gentlemen, it''s time to decide the fate of our family, as well as the Dawn Gxy." The elder''s tone was heavy as he spoke slowly.


    Life and death.


    Others trembled slightly at the mention.


    Indeed, it was a matter of life and death.


    The ck Prison Family had seriously offended Lord Thirteenth Peak.


    The ck Prison Family, as one of the top five powers in the Red Kun Star Domain, was deeply rooted and influential.


    Even if they offended Lord Thirteenth Peak, there wouldn''t be immediate consequences.


    But over time, they would surely weaken rapidly, and perhaps after hundreds or thousands of years, they would perishpletely.


    So, what the ck Prison Family faced now could indeed be considered a matter of life and death.


    "If only we hadn''t given ck Prison Qin the power to cut off all trade with Cann Star. Although it''s not a big deal, it''s not a small matter either. If we had reviewed it, maybe such a thing wouldn''t have happened."


    "It''s just a possibility. ck Prison Ao is the direct descendant of the family. If he begged us and said he wanted to sever trade with Cann Star, would you have disagreed?


    The mistake lies in the fact that such a medium-life as Cann Star actually produced such a figure as Lord Thirteenth Peak, and ck Prison Ao actually offended Lord Thirteenth Peak."


    "Now that it''s happened, discussing these things is meaningless. The most crucial thing now is how to resolve Lord Thirteenth Peak''s hostility towards our ck Prison Family."


    "ck Prison Qin will definitely be handed over, but the mastermind is ck Prison Ao, and ck Prison Ao..."


    As the people discussed, they were uncertain about how to handle ck Prison Qin, as they had the authority to do so, but ck Prison Ao was ultimately ck Prison Mo''s son.


    How to deal with ck Prison Ao would require consulting ck Prison Mo''s opinion.


    "I will handle this matter."


    "It concerns the family''s inheritance. Regardless of who it is, those who need to be sacrificed must be sacrificed. As long as we can win back Lord Thirteenth Peak, as long as we can eliminate Lord Thirteenth Peak''s hostility towards the family, it''s worth paying any price."


    The elder stood up, looking at everyone, and said firmly.


    Red Kun Main Star.


    Official member training ground.


    Fang Qing sat cross-legged, visualizing the appearance of a certain ''ancient god'' in his mind.


    The evolution process of the ancient god''s path of evolution was simple to say, but difficult to practice.


    That was to visualize the corresponding ''ancient god'' of one''s own evolutionary path and try to mimic it as much as possible.


    The reason it was difficult was that even the slightest mistake could lead to immediate bacsh and death.


    "Phew."


    Fang Qing finished his practice, a rxed expression on his face.


    Just then.


    "Hey, Fang kid, hurry up and look at the document, look at the document!!!" A roar came, from none other than the white-bearded old man.


    "Why are you so flustered? What could be such a big deal?"


    Fang Qing frowned slightly, feeling that his teacher was being a bit too rmed, as if he hadn''t seen much of the world.


    "Are you going to look or not!"


    The white-bearded old man raised his voice.


    "I''ll look, I''ll look, but I definitely won''t be as...as you."


    Fang Qing immediately browsed through the document, saying as he read.


    Until...


    "The true identity of Lord Thirteenth Peak is an evolver named ''Lin Yuan'' from the Cann Star in the Dawn Gxy."


    "What the...?" Fang Qing stared in disbelief.


    "Brother Lin is Lord Thirteenth Peak?" Fang Qing was dumbfounded, reading the document again to confirm that the ''Lin Yuan'' mentioned was indeed his acquaintance, ''Brother Lin,'' and not a case of mistaken identity, his mind turning to mush.


    Until a momentter.


    Fang Qing barely managed to regain hisposure.


    "So this is why."


    "I was wondering how someone as talented as Brother Lin could possibly fail the Seven-Star Cave Trial. Even someone as useless as me passed, it didn''t make sense."


    "So that''s why."


    "That''s why."


    The white-bearded old man suddenly realized, his voice full of enlightenment.


    Fang Qing twitched his lips, having some objections to the old man calling him useless, but when he thought ofparing himself to Brother Lin, he immediately dared not say much.


    "Lord Thirteenth Peak, huh."


    Fang Qing couldn''t help but look up at the fourteen peaks standing in the center of the main star.


    Inside the pce.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    "The essence of life, imprint, integrating into the universe?"


    Lin Yuan pondered carefully, while sensing everything within his body.


    After reaching the sixth rank, his body and soul had undergone substantial transformation, and Lin Yuan faintly felt a deeperyer of space in the universe.


    Whether it was real or illusory there, Lin Yuan had a feeling that it was a ce beyond the reach of the physical body.


    ording to the description of that space by the Red Kun Lineage, it should be the source space of this universe.


    That was the most core ce of the universe, where only ephemeral things like life imprints could merge into.


    As for life? No matter how powerful life was, it couldn''t possibly enter the source space.


    "The essence of life."


    Lin Yuan slowly operated the power within his body, faintly resonating with thatyer of space.


    "I''ve felt it."


    "It should be about to integrate."


    Lin Yuan''s spirit trembled, and integrating life imprints didn''t require much technique, otherwise, it wouldn''t be something a sixth-rank evolver could achieve.


    After feeling the space that held life imprints, the final integration was near.


    As life imprints continued to merge, Lin Yuan also rxed a lot, able to divert some of his consciousness to focus on other things.


    "The Gate of the Myriad Realms."


    One strand of Lin Yuan''s consciousness came to the depths of his mind.


    This was his first time here since breaking through to the sixth rank.


    "What is this?"


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness had just arrived here when he noticed the changes in the Gate of the Myriad Realms.


    Compared to before he reached the sixth rank, the Gate of the Myriad Realms became more majestic, grand, and impossible to directly gaze at. It no longer seemed illusory but more like some kind of real object.


    It should be noted that since Lin Yuan sensed the Gate of the Myriad Realms, this giant gate had always been illusory, even if the outer area was illuminated, its illusory nature could still be seen.


    But now, the Gate of the Myriad Realms actually gave Lin Yuan a real sense of touch.


    Furthermore.


    At the moment Lin Yuan looked at the Gate of the Myriad Realms.


    A vast amount of information surged into Lin Yuan''s soul.


    ...

 Chapter 148

    Chapter 148


    "These pieces of information."


    Lin Yuan rubbed his brow, halting even the act of imprinting his life into the universe. Clearly, the information he received was unusually vast and immensely important.


    "So, the ''Gateway to the Myriad Realms'' deep in my mind is just a projection of the true Gateway to the Myriad Realms."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts gathered as he silently pondered.


    The true Gateway to the Myriad Realms was fundamentally beyond the capacity of "feeble" and "insignificant" beings like Lin Yuan to bear, even though the former had acknowledged Lin Yuan as its master. The disparity between the two was too great to share the same spatial level.


    Even with Lin Yuan''s previous strength before reaching the Sixth Rank, bearing a projection of the Gateway to the Myriad Realms was already at its limit.


    Although Lin Yuan was now a Sixth-Rank Evolver and his essence had undergone transformation, enough to leave a mark on the main world, he still couldn''t bear the true Gateway to the Myriad Realms. Of course, advancing to the Sixth Rank wasn''t without changes.


    Currently, the nature contained within the Gateway to the Myriad Realms projection Lin Yuan bore had improved significantly.


    This could be inferred from the additional information Lin Yuan acquired about the "Gateway to the Myriad Realms."


    "Breaking Boundary Source Power?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression slightly darkened.


    ording to the information he had just received from the projection of the Gateway to the Myriad Realms, knowing about the "Breaking Boundary Source Power" was one of the core energy sources of the Gateway to the Myriad Realms.


    Every three hundred and thirty-three days, the projection of the Gateway to the Myriad Realms could umte a strand of Breaking Boundary Source Power from the void.


    In specific terms, this manifested as the illumination of the outer peripheral area of the Gateway to the Myriad Realms.


    Simply put, a strand of Breaking Boundary Source Power could allow Lin Yuan to traverse once.


    The Breaking Boundary Source Power had many uses.


    Ten strands of Breaking Boundary Source Power would allow Lin Yuan to return to a world he had previously traversed.


    This wasn''t bad at all, Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Although, so far, the four traversals he had made had all ended with Lin Yuan being unrivaled in the world.


    However, with the increasing number of traversals, the levels of the traversed worlds were rising.


    Under the premise of the Gateway to the Myriad Realms limiting the duration of stay, Lin Yuan couldn''t guarantee that he would always be able to break through the worlds he traversed each time.


    If he hadn''t fully enjoyed some important treasures or opportunities in a traversed world, he could return to that realm and continue enjoying it through this method.


    But the premise was that such treasures or opportunities were important enough. With ten strands of Breaking Boundary Source Power, Lin Yuan could traverse ten times.


    "A strand of Breaking Boundary Source Power is too expensive."


    Calcting the efficiency of umting one strand of Breaking Boundary Source Power every three hundred and thirty-three days, one hundred strands would take about ny years.


    "A thousand strands of Breaking Boundary Source Power can bring back an item from any traversed world as desired."


    Lin Yuan sighed.


    It would take over ny years for a hundred strands of Breaking Boundary Source Power.


    Wouldn''t it take nearly a thousand years for a thousand strands?


    Lin Yuan wouldn''t even consider using this kind of Breaking Boundary Source Power unless it was for some special world-origin treasure.


    "Ten thousand strands of Breaking Boundary Source Power."


    Lin Yuan hadn''t seen the specific effects of ten thousand strands of Breaking Boundary Source Power, but based on the information he currently received, there should be a use for ten thousand strands of Breaking Boundary Source Power.


    "Now, how much ''Breaking Boundary Source Power'' has the projection of the Gateway to the Myriad Realms umted?"


    Lin Yuan sensed slightly and found that he had slightly more than a strand of Breaking Boundary Source Power.


    "The time to umte ''Breaking Boundary Source Power'' should be based on the main world."


    Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, then continued to imprint a bit of life, integrating it into the universe.


    Cann Star.


    Governor Song Wuyang stretchedzily.


    "Governor, all matters are now settled. Next will be your personal rest time," came the voice of the AI assistant.


    "Personal rest time?" A smile spread across Song Wuyang''s face.


    Suddenly.


    Just then, the voice of the AI assistant came again.


    "Governor, Nn *Dawn requestsmunication."


    "Nn *Dawn?" Song Wuyang''s expression abruptly changed.


    "The surname Dawnes from the most powerful force in the Dawn Gxy - the Dawn Society (Association).


    And Nn *Dawn is the vice president of the Dawn Society, second only to the president in the entire Dawn Gxy.


    "Agree to the call."


    Song Wuyang took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions.


    Immediately he ordered.


    He felt a little nervous, not knowing why such a big shot would personally contact him.


    Just now, Cann Star had just eased off from the suppression by the ck Prison Family.


    Let''s hope there won''t be any more surprises.


    Buzz.


    On the illusionary screen in front of him.


    The figure of Nn *Dawn appeared.


    "Greetings, Lord Nn."


    Song Wuyang''s tone was somewhat restrained.


    "What lord? There''s no need for formalities."


    Nn *Dawn appeared very amiable,cking the dignity and unapproachability that Song Wuyang expected.


    "The way you govern Cann Star is quite remarkable, actually giving birth to such a great Evolver."


    Nn *Dawn smiled.


    "What?" Song Wuyang blinked.


    He understood each word Nn *Dawn said, but put together, Song Wuyang didn''t understand what was going on.


    What does "quite remarkable" mean? Nn *Dawn, the vice president of the Dawn Society, might not even look at a high-level life, let alone Cann Star.


    Yet now, this important figure from the Dawn Gxy was actively praising Cann Star as remarkable?


    And?


    Giving birth to such a great Evolver? Song Wuyang still didn''t get it.


    He was generally aware of the current number and specific situations of the Evolvers on Cann Star, and there was definitely no "great Evolver" as mentioned by Lord Nn.


    "Lord Nn, I don''t understand what you mean."


    Song Wuyang asked cautiously.


    "Forget that this matter hasn''t reached Cann Star yet."


    Nn *Dawn''s smile didn''t diminish, and his gaze towards Song Wuyang became even more friendly. "You should know Lord Thirteenth Peak, right?"


    "Lord Thirteenth Peak?"


    Song Wuyang was stunned.


    Of course, he knew Lord Thirteenth Peak.


    He was the pride of the Red Kun Star Domain. Not long ago, Lord Thirteenth Peak challenged the genius Evolvers from various star domains.


    Even the invincible Saint Son from the Wan Yang Star Domain was defeated by Lord Thirteenth Peak with just a few ps.


    Song Wuyang not only knew Lord Thirteenth Peak but had watched every one of Lord Thirteenth Peak'' challenges and almost became a fan.


    But what does Lord Thirteenth Peak have to do with him? Is he from the Dawn Gxy?


    It couldn''t even be imagined, because the probability was too low, almost impossible.


    With over a million lifes in the Red Kun Star Domain, including high-level lifes and major primary stars, etc. Why would the great Lord Thirteenth Peake from a backward and remote like Cann Star? This waspletely unscientific.


    "Lord Nn, about Lord Thirteenth Peak."


    Song Wuyang asked in confusion.


    "That''s right."


    Nn *Dawn nodded, saying, "The real identity of the great Lord Thirteenth Peak is a Evolver named ''Lin Yuan'' from your Cann Star."


    "Oh right, Lord Thirteenth Peak also participated in the arenapetition and won the championship. You should remember that."


    Nn *Dawn said kindly.


    "The real identity of Lord Thirteenth Peak is ''Lin Yuan''."


    Song Wuyang was stunned for a moment, and couldn''t react for a while.


    After a breath, Song Wuyang''s eyes widened, almost losing hisposure on the spot.


    Lord Thirteenth Peak is Lin Yuan? Lin Yuan is Lord Thirteenth Peak? Song Wuyang felt dizzy in his head, as if he had been hit by a pie.


    No, this is more than just a pie.


    "Lord Thirteenth Peak'' true identity will be announced by our main star in the Dawn Gxy, and Cann Star will soon know this news. I''m telling you in advance to prepare you."


    Nn *Dawn said, "Also, shortly, the president''s guard wille to protect Lord Thirteenth Peak'' family. By then, you should know what to do."


    Nn *Dawn reminded.


    "Lord Nn, rest assured, before the president''s guard arrives, Cann Star''s defense system will be fully sealed, prohibiting any forces from entering."


    Song Wuyang took a deep breath and immediately spoke.


    "Then I''ll trouble you, Governor."


    Nn *Dawn nodded slightly, a satisfied expression on his face.


    Although he thought that no one would arrive faster than the Dawn Society to protect Lord Thirteenth Peak'' family.


    But better safe than sorry.


    "Now you can go and arrange it. Remember, the most important task for Cann Star at the moment is to protect Lord Thirteenth Peak'' family until the president''s guard arrives."


    After Nn *Dawn finished speaking, he terminated the call.


    Plop.


    Song Wuyang sat down on the ground.


    "Lord Lin Yuan."


    "Lord Thirteenth Peak."


    Song Wuyang''s mind was spinning rapidly.


    He suddenly thought of the previous situation where Lin Yuan was oppressed by public opinion on Cann Star due to the suppression by the ck Prison Family.


    "Compile a list."


    "From the moment the ck Prison Family cut off trade with Cann Star, anyone who has insulted or med Lord Lin Yuan in any way on the inte, regardless of their identity, should be listed."


    Song Wuyang immediately began to arrange.


    He couldn''t let Lord Thirteenth Peak have the idea of being wronged on Cann Star.


    The enthusiasm of ck Prison Ao was high. With themercial blueprint provided by the family''s think tank, all he needed to do was to proceed step by step.


    "Young master."


    "All training is normal, and the strength enhancement of all Evolvers is as expected."


    The elderly man in a ck suit, Beizhao, reported respectfully.


    "Mm."


    "I see."


    ck Prison Ao felt pleased.


    If the n went smoothly, the Evolvers trained by him, ck Prison Ao, would shine in the next arenapetition.


    "The Evolvers who specialize in ''divination'' practice are too terrifying. They can capture any subtle information and make the most advantageous decisions for themselves."


    ck Prison Aofelt a little emotional.


    If it weren''t for the list provided by the family''s think tank, how could he, ck Prison Ao, have known that these Evolvers had such great potential for advancement? A little cultivation could greatly increase their strength.


    Just then.


    "My father is looking for me?"


    ck Prison Ao''s mind tightened.


    He received a video call from his father.


    This made ck Prison Aosomewhat at a loss.


    ck Prison Ao''s father, the pir of the ck Prison Family, a seventh-order Evolver, ck Prison Mo.


    As the youngest son of ck Prison Mo, ck Prison Ao could count the number of times he had seen ck Prison Mo on both hands.


    Let alone receiving a video call from him personally.


    "Could it be that father has discovered my achievements outside?"


    ck Prison Aospected, quickly agreeing to his father''s call.


    On the virtual screen in front of him.


    Soon, the figure of ck Prison Mo appeared.


    ck Prison Mo was tall, emitting a kind of dark and cold aura.


    "ck Prison Ao."


    ck Prison Mo''s tone was cold, "I''ve sent someone to pick you up. Don''t resist when they arrive."


    After saying this.


    ck Prison Mo terminated the call.


    "Huh?"


    ck Prison Ao was somewhat at a loss.


    His own father, the pir of the ck Prison Family, personally video called him just to say this? "Pick me up and return me to the family?"


    ck Prison Aofell silent.


    He had dreamed of returning to the family.


    But his father ck Prison Mo''s words made him uneasy.


    "What has happened?"


    ck Prison Aofrowned in thought.


    "Young master." At this moment, the elderly man in a ck suit, Beizhao, suddenly walked in.


    "The main star of the Dawn Gxy has announced the identity of Lord Thirteenth Peak."


    "Oh?" ck Prison Ao''s spirits lifted, immediately connecting to the virtual world to receive rted documents.


    "The real identity of Lord Thirteenth Peak is Lin Yuan from Cann Star."


    ck Prison Aowas stunned. He disconnected from the virtual world, shook his head to clear it, and then re-entered the virtual world.


    But the documents still stated that the true identity of Thirteenth Peak Peaks was Lin Yuan.


    Lin Yuan from Cann Star.


    "How could this be?" ck Prison Aocouldn''t believe it. "Why would the great Lord Thirteenth Peake from such a backward intermediate life?"


    Although it was shocking that Lord Thirteenth Peak came from Cann Star, it was only that.


    What ck Prison Aocouldn''t believe was that the Evolver he casually targeted would turn out to be Lord Thirteenth Peak?


    "Why?"


    "Why am I so unlucky?"


    The document came from the official source of the main star in the Dawn Gxy, and its authenticity was beyond doubt.


    Coupled with the attitude of his father, ck Prison Mo, just now, ck Prison Ao realized the extent of his grave mistake.


    "It''s over."


    ck Prison Ao''s face turned ashen.


    He knew very well the consequences of offending Lord Thirteenth Peak.


    Even if Lord Thirteenth Peak didn''t pursue it, with the personality of his father, ck Prison Mo, he wouldn''t let him off.


    Just as ck Prison Aowas trembling in fear.


    A figure in a ck coat appeared silently.


    He stood behind ck Prison Ao and said in a cold tone, "Young master ck Prison Ao,e with me."

    Chapter 149


    ck Prison Family.


    ck Prison Mo sat on the throne in the grand hall.


    His gaze was deep as he looked out into the universe.


    In his ears echoed a very secretive fluctuation.


    "ck Prison Mo, you''ve been lurking in human civilization for hundreds of thousands of years."


    "All along, you''ve done well, but today, I need you to do onest thing."


    "Kill the Thirteenth Peak Master."


    "That Thirteenth Peak Master, just stepping into Rank Six, the great diviner of the n, confirmed that his life imprint has not yet fully merged into the universe."


    "At this time, if you were to kill him, he would bepletely dead, with no possibility of resurrection.""If it were anyone else, even an eighth-rank powerhouse, it would be impossible to break into the main star of Red Kun and kill that Thirteenth Peak Master."


    "But you, ck Prison Mo, are different. You are under themand of the Red Kun Star Lord, and you have the qualification to enter the main star of Red Kun."


    "Secondly, your youngest son once suppressed the Thirteenth Peak Master. If you take your youngest son and go to the main star of Red Kun to apologize, there is hope of seeing the Thirteenth Peak Master."


    "At that time, if you act again, ording to the calctions of the n''s great diviner, you have a ten percent chance of killing the Thirteenth Peak Master."


    Subtle fluctuations of information entered ck Prison Mo''s ears, transformed into information that ck Prison Mo couldprehend.


    "Kill the Thirteenth Peak Master."


    ck Prison Mo remained silent.


    Naturally, he knew that the hope of killing the Thirteenth Peak Master under the nose of the Red Kun Star Lord was very slim.


    And regardless of sess or failure in the end.


    He, ck Prison Mo, and even the entire ck Prison Family, would be destroyed.


    "ck Prison Mo, the talent and qualifications shown by that Thirteenth Peak Master are expected to be a Rank Seven King in the future, or even step into Rank Eight."


    "For hundreds of thousands of years, you''ve been trapped at the level of Rank Seven Marquis. As long as you can kill the Thirteenth Peak Master, everything will be worth it."


    "As for your ck Prison Family? With your youngest son suppressing the Thirteenth Peak Master, the decline of the ck Prison Family is inevitable."


    That subtle fluctuation continued.


    "I''m not confident that I can kill the Thirteenth Peak Master within the perception range of the Star Lord."


    ck Prison Mo replied.


    The subtle fluctuation said he had a ten percent chance of killing the Thirteenth Peak Master.


    But ck Prison Mo felt that ten percent was too high. With his understanding of the Star Lord, as long as he was on the main star, he could appear at any position in an instant.


    "In this regard, the great diviners of the n have long been prepared. This secret technique can give you the strength of Rank Eight in an instant. As long as the Red Kun Star Lord is not vignt against you at all times, there is hope of killing the Thirteenth Peak Master."


    A secret technique came with the subtle fluctuations.


    "Secret technique."


    ck Prison Mo nced at it.


    This secret technique required him to sacrifice everything.


    Physical, spiritual, lifespan, potential, all to obtain a sudden surge in strength.


    Using this secret technique, he did indeed have hope of killing the Thirteenth Peak Master, but the oue would be that he couldn''t survive either.


    Afterward, there was no need for anyone from the Red Kun Lineage to take action; he would be killed by the bacsh of this secret technique.


    ck Prison Mo remained silent.


    "ck Prison Mo, as long as you do as I say, regardless of sess or failure afterwards, your n, your people, will receive ten star systems as their home."


    "My Worm n (Insect n) will send out arge number of resources and treasures to cultivate your n and people."


    The subtle fluctuations continued.


    "I understand."


    ck Prison Mo replied softly.


    Not long after.


    ck Prison Ao was brought into the pce.


    "Father."


    ck Prison Ao''s hands and feet went weak as he looked at ck Prison Mo sitting on the throne, his lips trembling.


    ck Prison Mo''s face was calm as he looked down at his son.


    The matter of ck Prison Ao suppressing Lin Yuan had been criticized by many members of the ck Prison Family, but in the eyes of the outsiders, it was an opportunity.


    It was precisely because of ck Prison Ao''s recklessness that ck Prison Mo had the opportunity to bring ck Prison Ao to seek an audience with the Thirteenth Peak Master.


    Without this incident, ck Prison Mo would not have had the excuse to go and see the Thirteenth Peak Master.


    If he had gone to seek an audience forcibly, he would likely have been noticed by the ''diviners'' of the Red Kun main star.


    Everything in the world follows its naturalws of development.


    Under normal circumstances, ck Prison Mo didn''t need to urgently seek an audience with the Thirteenth Peak Master. If he did so forcibly, it would be abnormal, and the ''diviners'' would conduct deeper deductions.


    But with ck Prison Ao, it was different.


    "My son once suppressed you, and now I bring him here to apologize."


    This was reasonable and normal.


    No one could find fault with it.


    "My n."


    ck Prison Mo appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was extremelyplex.


    He came from deep within the stars, from a weak n.


    The war between human civilization and the Worm n spread to the n where ck Prison Mo was.


    Under unavoidable circumstances, ck Prison Mo could only follow the n and seek refuge with the Worm n.


    Because ck Prison Mo''s evolutionary talent was not bad, he was arranged by the Worm n to enter the territory of human civilization.


    It was quitemon for members of such weak ns like ck Prison Mo to asionally wander into the territory of human civilization and settle down.


    Human civilization didn''t have much defense against such life forms, so ck Prison Mo was able to join the Red Kun Star Lord and establish the renowned ck Prison Family.


    Of course, due to ck Prison Mo''s outsider status, it was impossible for him to be part of the upper echelons of human civilization. Establishing the ck Prison Family was already the limit.


    "Father. Mother."


    ck Prison Mo''s thoughts drifted as if he had returned to hundreds of thousands of years ago when he was still a child, running with his father and mother on the grasnd.


    Life at that time was so carefree.


    If it weren''t for the war between human civilization and the Worm n, he would probably be very happy now, staying by his father and mother''s side, without having to think about anything or do anything.


    His father''s shoulders were broad enough to support their whole family''s livelihood.


    "So many years have passed, and Father and Mother have long been gone."


    ck Prison Mo''s thoughts returned to reality.


    Although his father and mother were dead, the other n members, even though ck Prison Mo couldn''t even remember their names anymore, were still his n members.


    In ck Prison Mo''s heart, these n members of the ck Prison Family were just tools used to conceal his true identity.


    Since infiltrating human civilization, ck Prison Mo had never rxed for a moment.


    "Father, Mother, I wille to see you soon."


    ck Prison Mo stood up and walked to the trembling ck Prison Ao, helping him up and saying, "Come with me to apologize to the Thirteenth Peak Master."


    Red Kun main star.


    Central continent square.


    ck Prison Mo, with ck Prison Ao, wanted to seek an audience with the Thirteenth Peak Master.


    "Brother ck Prison Mo, your youngest son..." The steward of the Red Kun Lineage looked at ck Prison Mo with a hint of pity on his face.


    Since the identity of the Thirteenth Peak Master was revealed, every bit of information about Lin Yuan had been dug up.


    Among them was the incident of the Thirteenth Peak Master being suppressed by ck Prison Ao.


    In the eyes of others, ck Prison Mo was really unlucky. He was doing well in his family, but because of his youngest son, he offended the Thirteenth Peak Master out of nowhere.


    How unfair!


    In fact, ck Prison Ao was also very unlucky.


    For a major family like his, using the power in their hands to suppress an evolutionist without background was just a normal thing.


    In the Human Civilization Alliance, the three goddesses ruled from above, and there were few incidents that went against thew.


    But suppression was unavoidable.


    For example, if apany was owned by me and I didn''t like you, I could just have thepany fire you.


    With the supervision of the three goddesses, at most they would pay the full breach of contract penalty, the goddesses wouldn''t force someone to be hired.


    "Give a message to the Thirteenth Peak Master."


    "Tell him that I, ck Prison Mo, have a precious gift to offer."


    ck Prison Mo looked at the steward and said softly.


    This was also to arouse the curiosity of the Thirteenth Peak Master.


    To attract him toe out and meet.


    ck Prison Mo was a Rank Seven Evolver, and the precious gift he mentioned might be of Rank Seven King level.


    Such treasures would be valued by the Grand Peak Master, Second Peak Master, and Third Peak Master. Although Lin Yuan had just be the Thirteenth Peak Master and gained status, he definitely didn''t have many treasures.


    "Understood."


    The steward of the Red Kun Lineage nodded.


    He didn''t think there was anything strange about it.


    Moreover,ing to seek an audience and apologize, they couldn''te empty-handed, could they?


    Watching the steward leave.


    ck Prison Mo steadied his mind.


    What he could do now was wait.


    Waiting for the Thirteenth Peak Master to summon him, and then activate that secret technique to kill this human genius at the Rank Six level.


    In exchange for a better living environment and resources for the n.


    Peak Pce.


    Lin Yuan received the news that ck Prison Mo hade with ck Prison Ao to apologize.


    However¡ª


    Lin Yuan showed no intention of meeting him at all.


    Before his life imprint merged into the universe, Lin Yuan was somewhat uneasy even about cultivation, let alone going out to meet people?


    Moreover, what Big Senior Brother had said was very clear.


    For Lin Yuan at the moment, the most important thing was to integrate his life imprint into the universe.


    As for other matters? Even meeting his teacher, the Red Kun Star Lord, could be postponed, let alone ck Prison Mo?


    "It''s almost time."


    Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes shining.


    Integrating the life imprint, although not difficult, any Rank Six Evolver could do it, but it was a slow process that couldn''t be rushed.


    Cann Star.


    Residential estate on the maind.


    "Little Yuan has been in seclusion for quite a while this time."


    Mother, Lin Qiong, wore a worried look on her face.


    "Isn''t thismon?"


    Father, Lin Shoucheng, had long been ustomed to it.


    "After all, my son is a genius who hasn''t appeared on Cann Star for hundreds of thousands of years."


    "Is it a big deal for him to be in seclusion for a few months? I heard that those high-level evolvers, any one of them being in seclusion, would take decades or even hundreds of years."


    Lin Shoucheng said.


    "Right."


    "Daughter."


    Lin Shoucheng nced at Lin Yi not far away.


    At this moment, Lin Yi was watching the video of the Thirteenth Peak Master''s battle repeatedly.


    "Yes, yes."


    Lin Yi replied casually.


    At this moment.


    The intelligent steward reminded that someone wasing to visit.


    "Minister Song ising?"


    Lin Qiong immediately got up, intending to personally greet him.


    Because of Lin Yuan''s championship in the arena, Minister Song often came to pay his respects.


    So, Minister Song''s visit at this time did not attract much attention.


    Soon enough, Minister Song arrived.


    "Minister Song, Yuan is currently in seclusion and cannote out temporarily. I''m sorry," Lin Qiong said apologetically.


    She naturally knew that Minister Song hade to look for Lin Yuan, and as for them, they had no qualifications to make Minister Song personallye over.


    "I''ll notify Yuan right away."


    Lin Shoucheng got up, intending to inform Lin Yuan.


    Of course, this kind of notification was simr to leaving a message on the phone, and Lin Yuan would only see it after he was done with his matters.


    "No need, no need."


    Minister Song waved his hand hastily. "Mr. Lin Yuan should be busy on the Red Kun Main Star now. I just came to take a look. How dare I disturb Mr. Lin Yuan."


    Hearing this, Lin Qiong, Lin Shoucheng, and Lin Yi were slightly stunned.


    Did Minister Song just say something? Yuan is on the Red Kun Main Star? "Minister Song, you''re mistaken. Brother was still in seclusion in the main building a few days ago," Lin Yi couldn''t help but point out the ''error'' in Minister Song''s words.


    "Little Yi."


    Lin Qiong gave Lin Yi a stern look.


    Even if Minister Song made a mistake, they shouldn''t directly point it out like that. That was too rude.


    "Haha, Minister Song, don''t worry too much. Little Yi has this kind of personality, but Minister Song, you work day and night and also need to take care of yourself," Lin Shoucheng interjected.


    "Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lu, and Miss Lin," Minister Song said with a slight nod, "I''m not mistaken. Mr. Lin is now, indeed, on the Red Kun Main Star."


    Minister Song paused for a moment and continued, "And there''s some great news I need to share with you."


    "Your son, Mr. Lin Yuan, is the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage."


    Minister Song said.


    With this statement.


    Lin Shoucheng, Lin Qiong, and Lin Yi looked at Minister Song.


    "It seems Minister Song has indeed been overworkingtely," Lin Shoucheng stepped forward to smooth things over.


    "But, Minister, joking about the Thirteenth Peak Master isn''t appropriate. That''s..." Lin Shoucheng subtly reminded.


    With his status, he naturally didn''t have the qualification to remind aary minister.


    But this matter could be big or small, and it might even affect their own family. Lin Shoucheng gathered his courage to speak up.


    "Hahaha."


    Minister Song saw the situation and showed no surprise.


    When he learned that the Thirteenth Peak Master was Lin Yuan, he didn''t feel much better either.


    "Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lu, and Miss Lin."


    "I, Song Wuyang, am very clear. Your son is indeed the Thirteenth Peak Master."


    "Soon, there will be a guard team from the Dawn Main Staring to protect you."


    Minister Song said solemnly.


    "What?"


    Lin Qiong, Lin Shoucheng, and Lin Yi looked at each other.


    It was only at this moment that they vaguely realized that Minister Song wasn''t joking anymore.


    "That''s impossible."


    "My brother is only at the fourth rank, but the Thirteenth Peak Master is at the sixth rank."


    Lin Yi couldn''t help but say.


    "That''s because the talent of the Thirteenth Peak Master is terrifying. If his true identity is exposed, those foreign races will inevitably continue to assassinate him."


    Minister Song didn''t mince words.


    He directly transmitted the official document from the Dawn Main Star to them.


    "This..."


    Lin Qiong and Lin Shoucheng looked bewildered.


    They looked at the document, stamped with the exclusive seal of the Dawn Main Star, and couldn''t react for a while.


    "I''ll take my leave now."


    "If there''s anything, feel free to notify me at any time."


    Seeing this, Minister Song immediately got up to take his leave.


    He came here just to tell Lin Shoucheng and Lin Qiong about this matter.


    To gain their favor.


    Now that the goal had been achieved, and Lin Shoucheng and Lin Qiong probably had a lot to say, it was inappropriate for him to continue staying.


    Red Kun Main Star.


    Peak Pce.


    "Atst."


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.


    Since arriving on the Red Kun Main Star, he had never stopped working, integrating his life imprint into the universe.


    And now, it was finally done.


    "Oh, right."


    "Before reaching the sixth rank."


    "The path of martial arts evolution has already been perfected."


    Lin Yuan suddenly felt a movement in his heart.


    The perfected path of martial arts evolution, no longer limited to Yin, Yang, Tai Chi, all the world''s energy rules could be incorporated into the martial arts system, and could be practiced along the martial arts cultivation system.


    "Upload it."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    After reaching the sixth rank, he had been busy all along, only paying attention to the changes in the Gate of the Myriad Realms. Now, he finally had time to upload the path of martial arts evolution.


    With the path of martial arts evolution perfected, the threshold for cultivation had been greatly lowered. Lin Yuan was somewhat looking forward to what the three goddesses'' evaluation of it would be.

 Chapter 150

    Chapter 150


    "Martial Arts Evolution Path."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts drifted, his expression briefly showing contemtion.


    After the improvement, the potential of the Martial Arts Evolution Path had greatly increased. In addition to the Tai Chi Tao formed by thebination of Yin and Yang, Evolvers could choose their own paths and thenbine them to form many branches.


    Furthermore, the lower limit of the Martial Arts Evolution Path, urately speaking, the threshold for cultivation, had been significantly reduced.


    In simple terms, the adaptability was broader, and Evolvers who cultivated the Martial Arts had a greater hope of advancing to the third, fourth, and fifth ranks.


    "Spreading the Evolution Path rted to oneself, the more lives one cultivates, the more it can enhance certain aspects of one''s foundation, exerting a driving effect on the future ''ultimate leap,''" Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The term "rted to oneself" here could be like the Ancient God Evolution Path, imitating everything about the ''Ancient God.'' It could also be like Lin Yuan, establishing a certain Evolution Path and then spreading it.


    "Wisdom Goddess."


    Lin Yuan actively connected to the Wisdom Goddess."Respected Level Five Citizen Lin Yuan, the Wisdom Goddess is pleased to serve you," came the solemn and cold voice of the Wisdom Goddess.


    "I need to ''update'' the Martial Arts Evolution Path," Lin Yuan said.


    Since Lin Yuan had not yet created the sixth-tier segment of the Martial Arts Evolution Path, calling it an upload would be inurate. He had only improved the second, third, fourth, and fifth-tier segments, so using the term ''update'' was more appropriate.


    Next, Lin Yuan synchronized the improved Martial Arts Evolution Path with the Wisdom Goddess.


    After the Wisdom Goddess epted the Martial Arts Evolution Path, a mysterious space somewhere far from the Red Kun Main Star began to flicker rapidly on huge screens, frantically analyzing and deducing thetest Martial Arts Evolution Path.


    "This Evolution Path is expected to advance to the eighth rank, re-evaluation initiated."


    "Preliminary assessment: Thetest Martial Arts Evolution Path has significantly lowered the cultivation threshold, and its maximum potential has increased."


    "Initiating in-depth assessment."


    "In-depth assessment: The difficulty of cultivation has shown a significant downward trend since the second-tier segment of the Martial Arts Evolution Path, analyzing the reason: this Evolution Path incorporates many energy systems into the body."


    "In-depth assessment: Different energy fusion will produce unexpected variables, which may be worse or better."


    "In-depth assessment: The evaluation of the Martial Arts Evolution Path has been upgraded, and theprehensive potential has increased."


    "In-depth assessment: The founder of this Evolution Path, personal security clearance has been raised to Nine Stars."


    "Contact the Free Goddess and the Justice Goddess, re-evaluation in progress."


    Red Kun Main Star.


    On the central square.


    ck Prison Mo''s expression remained unchanged, but his inner anxiety grew.


    "What does this Thirteenth Peak Master mean?"


    "I''ve said I have a precious item to offer, but he won''t see me?" ck Prison Mo''s eyebrows trembled slightly.


    He believed that his actions were wless,ing here to apologize and seek an audience with the Thirteenth Peak Master; everything was reasonable.


    There was no hint of abnormality.


    Even if the Thirteenth Peak Master wouldn''t forgive him, he should at least see him and ask what precious item he had to offer, right?


    But now.


    His act of contrition had not received any response at all.


    "Wait a little longer, the Thirteenth Peak Master is probablypleting the integration of the life imprint," ck Prison Mo settled his mind, suppressing the restlessness within.


    Once the life imprint of the Thirteenth Peak Master was sessfully integrated, even if he managed to kill him, thetter would be sessfully ''resurrected''ter.


    Indeed, the powerful individual of the Insect Race had stated that regardless of whether he couldpletely kill the Thirteenth Peak Master, his people would receive ample benefits and corresponding resources afterward.


    But if he could kill the Thirteenth Peak Masterpletely, it would likely be many years before thetter could be ''resurrected'' by the human''s most powerful individual.


    ck Prison Mo had never considered using this to have the powerful individual of the Insect Race resurrect him.


    Because it was simply impossible for the Insect Race to agree.


    Even if the Insect Race agreed, ck Prison Mo would not believe it.


    Thirteenth Peak Summit Pce.


    After waiting for a while and finding that the Wisdom Goddess was still assessing the Martial Arts Evolution Path, Lin Yuan''s consciousness connected to the virtual world and entered his personal space.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan nced at the list of visitation requests.


    He found it densely packed; at a rough nce, there were at least tens of thousands of citizens wanting to visit him. Moreover, this number was constantly increasing.


    "The identity of the Thirteenth Peak Master does seem to be attracting a bit too much attention," Lin Yuan shook his head slightly and set the visitation limit to Sixth-rank Evolvers or his own rtives and friends.


    Immediately, the visitation list emptied.


    "My parents left me a message," Lin Yuan scanned the message list.


    These messages were not call requests and wouldn''t disturb Lin Yuan.


    "It''s time to meet them," Lin Yuan invited his parents and sister into his personal space.


    In less than a moment, Lin Shoucheng, Lin Qiong, and Lin Yi appeared in the personal space.


    "Brother," Lin Yi''s eyes glowed with admiration as she looked at Lin Yuan.


    Now standing in front of her was not just her brother, but also the Thirteenth Peak Master, someone whom countless fans in the Red Kun Star Domain desired to meet but couldn''t.


    "Little Yuan, these past few days on Cann Star have been like a festival. Governor Song personally appeared to congratte you on bing the Thirteenth Peak Master. Many conglomerates even spent huge sums to hang up huge banners outside the," Lin Qiong said with a smile.


    Lin Yuan smiled without saying a word.


    Bing the Thirteenth Peak Master did indeed have a profound impact on Cann Star. Apart from many other benefits, Cann Star might be a ''must-visit'' destination in the entire Red Kun Star Domain in the future. Every year, countless tourists from various star domains mighte to Cann Star specifically to see the where the Thirteenth Peak Master once lived.


    Just relying on tourism revenue, Cann Star would likely earn a considerable amount.


    Therefore, everyone on Cann Star had to thank Lin Yuan.


    "Little Yuan," Lin Shoucheng was excited, "Now my old Lin family can finally hold its head high. This isn''t just any ordinary asion. I wonder how many good deeds I did in my past life."


    "The ancients said, ''When one person achieves enlightenment, even the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.'' We''re not just ascending, those big shots are practically kneeling at our doorstep," Lin Shoucheng reflected emotionally over the past few days.


    Before, Lin Yuan''s identity was merely that of a championship winner in the arena. But in the eyes of the top decision-makers on Cann Star, he was only worth a passing nce, as they only valued Lin Yuan himself. But now, these big shots treated their family more warmly and respectfully than their own parents.


    Lin Yuan smiled and listened to his parents and sister.


    As the Thirteenth Peak Master, his power and influence in the Red Kun Star Domain were tremendous. Not to mention the conglomerate forces of Cann Star, even one of the five major forces in the star domain like the ck Prison Family had to find ways to curry favor with him.


    And Lin Yuan''s family members would certainly receive all kinds of praises.


    "Oh, Little Yuan," Lin Qiong seemed to remember something and took out a list, "Governor Song gave me a list to give to you. It contains the names of people who insulted you on the Inte because of the ck Prison Family incident."


    In the interster civilization era, every citizen enjoyed freedom of speech. But this ''freedom of speech'' was on the premise that it didn''t harm other citizens. Strictly speaking, those who were insulted could be held ountable.


    "Punish the leaders a bit, and let the others go," Lin Yuan nced at it casually and said.


    With the suppression intensity of the ck Prison Family at that time, and the guidance of public opinion, countless citizens might have been misled. If they were all held ountable, about one-tenth of the citizens of Cann Star would suffer.


    After chatting with his family for a while, Lin Yuan disconnected from the virtual world.


    "Is the assessment almostplete?" Lin Yuan waited for the response from the Wisdom Goddess.


    After a moment, the solemn voice of the Wisdom Goddess came, "Respected Level Five Citizen Lin Yuan, ording to the final assessment, the ''updated'' Martial Arts Evolution Path has significantly lowered its threshold and greatly increased its potential. Besides the original value of this Evolution Path, you will be rewarded with an additional five hundred thousand merit points."


    "Five hundred thousand merit points," Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised. He had only updated the Martial Arts Evolution Path this time and hadn''t uploaded any subsequent content for the Martial Arts Evolution Path. He thought that an award of around one to two hundred thousand merit points would be sufficient, but he didn''t expect it to be five hundred thousand.


    It should be noted that even if the first to fifth-tier segments of the Martial Arts Evolution Path were added together, they wouldn''te close to five hundred thousand merit points.


    "The possibility of the Martial Arts Evolution Path advancing to the Sixth rank is ny-five percent."


    "The possibility of advancing to the Seventh rank has increased to thirty percent, and the possibility of advancing to the Eighth rank Evolution Path has increased to ten percent."


    Lin Yuan also looked at thetest information on the Martial Arts Evolution Path.


    "Well, the possibility of the Martial Arts Evolution Path advancing to the Sixth rank hasn''t changed, it''s still ny-five percent," Lin Yuan nodded slightly, not finding anything strange.


    A ny-five percent chance of advancing to the Sixth rank was already quite high; most fifth-rank Evolution Paths had only a thirty to forty percent chance of advancing to the Sixth rank. Exceeding fifty percent could be considered extremely outstanding, let alone ny-five percent.


    "The possibility of advancing to the Seventh rank has increased by ten percent, and the possibility of advancing to the Eighth rank has increased by half a percent,"


    Lin Yuan spected that the reason for the increased possibility of the Martial Arts Evolution Path advancing to the Seventh and Eighth ranks was entirely due to the fact that it had undergone some kind of transformation and sublimation after incorporating various energy systems into the Martial Arts Evolution system.


    "Let''s take a look at thetest ranking of the Martial Arts Evolution Path."


    Lin Yuan continued to check the updated information of the Martial Arts Evolution Path, ncing at the rankings column.


    "Cann Evolution List ranks first."


    "Red Kun Evolution List ranks twelfth?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression changed slightly. If he remembered correctly, the Martial Arts Evolution Path was previously ranked fifty-third on the Red Kun Evolution List.


    "Twelfth."


    Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.


    If it were an ordinary Evolver, they might not understand what this meant. But as the Thirteenth Peak Master, Lin Yuan naturally understood the significance of being ranked among the top fifty on the Red Kun Evolution List.


    The Red Kun Evolution List was divided into two tiers: the top fifty and the bottom fifty. The top fifty pathways were all seventh or even eighth-tier pathways, while the bottom fifty included seventh and sixth-tier pathways.


    For the Martial Arts Evolution Path to break into the top fifty when it was still a fifth-tier pathway was already astonishing. After all, the top fifty pathways on the Red Kun Evolution List were either seventh or eighth-tier pathways.


    But now.


    The Martial Arts Evolution Path had actually made it into the top fifty, and even a rtively high position, twelfth.


    It should be noted that the Martial Arts Evolution Path was still a fifth-tier pathway.


    For a mere fifth-tier pathway to make it into the Evolution List,peting with seventh and eighth-tier pathways?


    In the virtual world of the Red Kun Main Star.


    In the central square area.


    Many Evolvers and high-level citizens had gathered.


    They conversed in low voices, and even after more than a year, the main topic of discussion on the square was still the Martial Arts Evolution Path.


    There was no helping it.


    The Martial Arts Evolution Path was just too extraordinary and unique.


    The top one hundred pathways on the Red Kun Evolution List were all sixth, seventh, or eighth-tier pathways. It was rare to see a fifth-tier pathway mixed in, which naturally drew people''s attention.


    "I bet that when the sixth-tier segment of the Martial Arts Evolution Path is uploaded, its ranking will definitely rise again, breaking into the top fifty."


    "No doubt. Right now, the Martial Arts Evolution Path is already ranked fifty-third. With the upload of the sixth-tier segment, its overall tier will increase. As long as the sixth-tier segment performs steadily, it might even break into the top thirty or twenty."


    "The top fifty pathways on the Red Kun Evolution List are all seventh or eighth-tier pathways. If the Martial Arts Evolution Path can break into them with a sixth-tier segment, that''s impressive."


    Many Evolvers discussed rapidly.


    Just then.


    The Red Kun Evolution List began to refresh.


    Hum.


    The one hundred pathways on the Evolution List all blurred simultaneously.


    All Evolvers on the square stared at the Evolution List with anticipation.


    After several breaths.


    The Red Kun Evolution List finished refreshing.


    "Oh my god."


    "The Martial Arts Evolution Path has broken into the top fifty."


    "What do you mean top fifty? It''s twelfth."


    "It almost made it into the top ten."


    "What''s going on?"


    "I thought that after It uploaded the sixth-tier segment, It could at least break into the top twenty or thirty."


    "It seems I underestimated the schr who developed this pathway."


    "Let me see. What makes the sixth-tier segment of the Martial Arts Evolution Path so extraordinary that it can elevate the overall ranking from fifty-third to twelfth?"


    Countless Evolvers entered the Martial Arts Evolution Path''s purchase interface with anticipation and excitement.


    But soon, they all discovered a horrifying scene.


    The Martial Arts Evolution Path.


    Had no sixth-tier segment.

    Chapter 151


    " What''s going on?"


    "Where''s the Sixth Rank Chapter?"


    "My Martial Dao Evolution Path''s Sixth Rank Chapter?"


    "Hasn''t the virtual world been updated? Or is it awork issue?"


    Countless Evolvers exploded withmotion.


    In everyone''s eyes, this Martial Dao Evolution Path could leap over more than forty positions, from the original fifty-three, to secure a spot among the top twelve.


    The only possibility was the upload of the Sixth Rank Chapter.


    Without the Sixth Rank Chapter to boost the entire Evolution Path, how could the Martial Dao Evolution Path break into the twelfth position on the Red Kun Evolution Ranking?


    In fact, even if the Martial Dao Evolution Path had uploaded the Sixth Rank Chapter, the sudden surge in ranking on the Evolution Ranking would still be incredible.But no matter how incredible, it could be understood. After all, with the addition of the Sixth Rank Chapter, the Martial Dao Evolution Path would be a Sixth Rank Evolution Path, offering significant room for improvement. Upon careful consideration, it made logical sense.


    But now?


    No Sixth Rank Chapter?


    No Sixth Rank Chapter and yet you managed to secure the twelfth position?


    Many Evolvers initially thought it might be a dy in the virtual world update, or perhaps awork issue in their respective locations, causing them to miss the "Sixth Rank Chapter."


    Only when theymunicated with others and found out that they, too, hadn''t seen the "Sixth Rank Chapter," did they freeze in shock.


    If only one or two Evolvers had missed the Sixth Rank Chapter, it could have been due to other factors, perhaps isted incidents orwork dys.


    But when everyone failed to see the Sixth Rank Chapter, there was only one possibility.


    That the Martial Dao Evolution Path did not have a Sixth Rank Chapter.


    However, this possibility led to another, even more incredible revtion.


    How did the Martial Dao Evolution Path, without a Sixth Rank Chapter, manage to secure the twelfth position on the Red Kun Evolution Ranking?


    If, for instance, only a Fifth Rank Martial Dao Evolution Path managed to secure the fifty-third position on the Red Kun Evolution Ranking, it would be akin to a primary school student infiltrating a group of university students. It would be extremely conspicuous.


    But for a Fifth Rank Martial Dao Evolution Path to break into the top fifty, even the top twelve?


    It would be equivalent to a baby with a pacifier mingling among a group of PhD holders.


    How could this be possible?


    "What''s going on exactly?"


    "If the Sixth Rank Chapter wasn''t uploaded, how did the Martial Dao Evolution Path reach twelfth ce?"


    "Huh? It seems like the Martial Dao Evolution Path has made some modifications. The word count for the Second Rank to the Fifth Rank Chapters has changed?"


    "Modifications are normal, and the Evolution Paths on the ranking aren''t set in stone. asionally, they may be altered, but it still doesn''t exin how the Martial Dao Evolution Path reached twelfth ce."


    "Perhaps the reason lies within the modifications?"


    Many Evolvers and high-ranking citizens gradually realized that the word count of the chapters they had previously purchased, from the Second Rank to the Fifth Rank, had changed.


    So, they all subconsciously began to review them again.


    "How is this possible?"


    "The Martial Dao Evolution Path can incorporate any energy system?"


    "It''s unbelievable. No wonder it made such a significant leap on the rankings. This qualitative change enhances the potential of the Martial Dao Evolution Path."


    The expression of a certain Sixth Rank Evolver changed slightly.


    With his insight, he could barely discern the impact of these changes to the Martial Dao Evolution Path.


    If the Martial Dao Evolution Path were no longer limited to Yin and Yang, then many Evolvers in human civilization who followed the Martial Dao Evolution Path would benefit. They could pursue their own paths, which would significantly increase the probability of producing high-ranking Evolvers.


    No wonder the Martial Dao Evolution Path managed to break into the top twelve on the Red Kun Evolution Ranking without uploading the Sixth Rank.


    No wonder the schr who founded the Martial Dao Evolution Path would specifically update it.


    Because it was too important for Evolvers.


    "No wonder he''s a Schr Evolver. He managed to expand the Martial Dao Evolution Path to such heights."


    "No, my perception of Yin and Yang was rough before, so I didn''t follow the Martial Dao Evolution Path. Now that it doesn''t require sensing Yin and Yang, I can practice it! I''m going to switch Evolution Paths."


    "Me too. This is a masterpiece by a certain Schr Evolver. Anyway, practicing along with it can''t go wrong."


    Many Evolvers began to leave the central square area, obviously intending to pass on this news to their respective family forces.


    At the summit of the thirteenth mountain peak of the Red Kun''s main star, there was a pce.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    "Five hundred thousand merit points."


    "I can advance to a Sixth Level Citizen."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    The perfected Martial Dao Evolution Path had been generously rewarded with five hundred thousand merit points by the Goddess of Wisdom.


    It should be noted that there were only a few ways to obtain merit points.


    Each required contributing to human civilization in some way to receive a reward.


    Apart from creating and perfecting entirely new Evolution Paths, like Lin Yuan, or developing other technologies beneficial to human civilization, the primary channel was to go to alien battlefields and kill aliens in exchange for merit points.


    As Lin Yuan knew, killing a powerful alien would yield a corresponding number of merit points.


    A Sixth Rank alien was worth one thousand merit points.


    A Seventh Rank alien was worth ten thousand to a hundred thousand merit points.


    An Eighth Rank alien was worth over a million merit points.


    The five hundred thousand merit points Lin Yuan obtained were equivalent to half of an Eighth Rank alien? Or dozens of Seventh Rank aliens?


    Of course, killing aliens was just one way to earn merit points.


    On the alien battlefield, if one could lead arge army of Evolvers to victory in a localized war against alien, even if an alien powerhouse wasn''t killed, one could still obtain corresponding merit points.


    "Too dangerous."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    On the alien battlefield, merit points sounded easy.


    Killing a Sixth Rank alien could earn one thousand points.


    But in reality, Sixth Rank aliens wouldn''t just wait around for someone to kill them.


    That required Evolvers to risk their lives.


    For a Sixth Rank Evolver to attempt to kill a Sixth Rank alien, it would truly require a significant cost. Moreover, the alien Sixth Rank powerhouse wouldn''t be foolish. Upon realizing they were outmatched, they would flee.


    Defeating a Sixth Rank alien was one thing.


    Killing them was another.


    And alien powerhouses were often not alone.


    They came in groups.


    In such circumstances, it was really difficult to kill them.


    This was true for Sixth Rank aliens, let alone Seventh or Eighth Rank.


    Millennia ago, the Red Kun Star Lord went on a killing spree on the alien battlefield after his disciple was assassinated.


    But most of those he killed were aliens below the Sixth Rank.


    Cannon fodder, in other words.


    Truly powerful aliens would have fled long ago.


    And after a while, the Red Kun Star Lord was blocked by other aliens of the same level.


    Aliens capable of fighting against human civilization and holding their ground were all extremely powerful. Even if they weren''t as powerful as the Insect Race, they weren''t far behind.


    "Be a Sixth Level Citizen."


    Lin Yuan''s mind stirred slightly.


    His citizen level immediately rose from Level Five to Level Six.


    To advance from Level Five to Level Six, one needed five hundred thousand merit points, which Lin Yuan had already umted through perfecting the Martial Dao Evolution Path.


    Hum.


    A momentter.


    Lin Yuan smoothly became a Sixth Level Citizen.


    At the same time, an email from the Human Civilization Alliance arrived in Lin Yuan''s inbox.


    The email roughly introduced some of the privileges of a Sixth Level Citizen.


    Most of the privileges for a Sixth Level Citizen were upgraded versions of those for a Level Five Citizen.


    Additionally.


    A Sixth Level Citizen had one more benefit, one more qualification than a Level Five Citizen.


    The benefit was that upon ascending to a Sixth Level Citizen, one would receive a bottle of evolution elixir issued by human civilization.


    A Sixth Rank evolution elixir.


    The purpose of this evolution elixir was to forcibly elevate an Evolver''s physical body and soul to the Sixth Rank level.


    Of course, this was only an enhancement of the physical body and soul. It wouldn''t change one''sprehension of the rules or understanding of the Evolution Path. These were not things that could be enhanced by external means.


    The reason for this benefit was to consider those scientists and developers who weren''t proficient in the Evolution Path.


    These scientists and developers might make great contributions to human civilization butcked innate evolution talent, remaining only at the Second or Third Rank.


    As for taking gene elixirs, there was a risk of death.


    So, as long as one''s citizen level reached the sixth level, they could obtain a Sixth Rank evolution elixir.


    There were no risks associated with the Sixth Rank evolution elixir, and the transformation of the body and soul was perfect.


    Of course, the real purpose of human civilization granting such benefits to Sixth Level Citizens was to ensure that they continued to contribute to human civilization for thousands or tens of thousands of years.


    "Just a Sixth Rank evolution elixir."


    Lin Yuan eximed in amazement. This precious treasure, which could allow ordinary people to be Sixth Rank Evolvers in one step, was undoubtedly priceless.


    At least, when Lin Yuan was a Level Five Citizen, he had never seen such a product in the shopping app. It was clear that his permissions weren''t high enough.


    "However, by taking the Sixth Rank evolution elixir, the Evolver who jumps to the Sixth Rank probably ranks at the bottom of the Sixth Rank in terms ofbat power."


    Lin Yuan understood this.


    Thebat power of a Sixth Rank Evolver wasposed of several aspects.


    First, there was the basic strength of the Sixth Rank level.


    Secondly, there were the secret techniques one mastered.


    Thirdly, there was the degree ofprehension of the rules.


    Fourthly, there was the strength of one''s own cultivation and evolution path.


    For Evolvers who took the Sixth Rank evolution elixir, they only gained the basic strength of the Sixth Rank level.


    The second privilege of a Level Six Citizen, or qualification, was the ability to participate in the once-in-a-century Star Alliance Conference.


    The so-called Star Alliance was an alliance formed by multiple star domains.


    Currently, the Red Kun Star Domain belonged to the "Annan" Star Alliance.


    And the Star Alliance Conference was initiated by the official Annan Star Alliance, where only citizens of the sixth level and above were eligible to participate.


    At the Star Alliance Conference, all participating citizens could put forward their suggestions.


    These suggestions could be big or small.


    For small ones, they could be about personal benefits.


    For example, if a Level Six Citizencked a transportation battleship, they could apply to the Annan Star Alliance for one.


    The Annan Star Alliance would most likely "allocate" a battleship to the Level Six Citizen.


    For big ones, they could change certain regtions within the Annan Star Alliance. For example, if a Level Six Citizen felt that the death penalty was inhumane and wanted to abolish it.


    The Annan Star Alliance would consider this suggestion and give one of three responses: agreement, rejection, or reservation.


    Of course, the regtions here referred only to those within the Star Alliance.


    As for the constitutionalws issued by the Cosmic Human Civilization Alliance, Level Six Citizens were not eligible to question them.


    "The Star Alliance Conference?"


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    Such a conference symbolized the highest authority of a star alliance, and only Level Six Citizens who had made significant contributions to human civilization were eligible to participate.


    After carefully reviewing the many privileges of a Level Six Citizen.


    Lin Yuan got up and left the pce.


    "Take me to see my teacher," Lin Yuan said, ncing at the steward outside the pce.


    "Yes."


    "Lord Peak Master, please follow me."


    The steward, respectful in demeanor, led Lin Yuan towards thergest mountain peak in the center.


    "Greetings, teacher," Lin Yuan bowed slightly to the Red Kun Star Lord seated on the throne inside the crimson pce.


    "Hahaha. My good disciple, please rise quickly," the Red Kun Star Lord said immediately, looking increasingly satisfied as he gazed at Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan had been performing admirablytely, earning him much respect. Though the old folks didn''t say it outright, their sour tones made it clear they wished to im Lin Yuan for themselves.


    "How are you feeling? Have you adapted?" the Red Kun Star Lord asked with concern. It was Lin Yuan''s first time visiting the Red Kun main star, so he might be feeling a bit out of sorts.


    "I''m okay," Lin Yuan nodded.


    "That''s good," the Red Kun Star Lord said, smiling.


    "If you have any questions, just tell your teacher," the Red Kun Star Lord said.


    Next, Lin Yuan spoke with the Red Kun Star Lord for a while before getting up to leave.


    On the Thirteenth Peaks.


    Lin Yuan gathered with his twelve senior brothers.


    "Congrattions, little junior brother."


    "Hahaha, we finally get to meet little junior brother in person."


    The twelve senior brothers were very enthusiastic.


    "Oh right, little junior brother," the third senior brother spoke up, "Are you nning to meet with the ck Prison Mo or not?"


    At these words, the other senior brothers fell silent, all looking at Lin Yuan.


    "ck Prison Mo?" Lin Yuan thought for a moment. "I''d rather not see him. There''s nothing to discuss."


    Lin Yuan had no intention of meeting the ck Prison Mo at all.


    "Understood," the third senior brother nodded immediately. If Lin Yuan had been willing to meet with the ck Prison Mo, it would have indicated some room for reconciliation between them. It would have only been a matter of what price the ck Prison Mo was willing to pay. But if he wasn''t even willing to meet, the message was clear.


    "We should investigate the ck Prison family," the second senior brother hinted.


    "I''ll take care of that. The ck Prison family is to cease all business activities and its members are not to leave their home, subject to surveince by the Red Kun lineage," the third senior brother said.


    This statement effectively pronounced the end of the ck Prison family. Direct suppression wouldn''t be favorable due to the family''s extensive influence in the Red Kun Star Domain.


    But ordering them to cease all activities and cing them under surveince was like slowly cutting them off. Decline was inevitable. For the Red Kun lineage, the ck Prison family was just an external tool. Now that this tool had bitten its master, it had to be disposed of.


    "Thank you, senior brothers," Lin Yuan said seriously.


    "Thank us for what? We''re brothers, we''ll support each other in the future," the senior brothers said with smiles.


    Half a dayter.


    Lin Yuan returned to his closed-door pce.


    "Things are basically settled," Lin Yuan thought to himself. "I can start the transmigration."


    Lin Yuan focused his mind and sank into his thoughts, arriving at the towering and magnificent Gateway of the Myriad Realms.


    "Let''s first look at some information about this transmigration," Lin Yuan thought, diverting a bit of his mind into the Gateway of the Myriad Realms.


    In a trance, Lin Yuan arrived at a vast and immense world.


    "This world," Lin Yuan said with a solemn expression as he gazed upon a fairy mountain surrounded by ethereal aura, a deste in shrouded in ghostly energy, and a colossal nest emanating profound demonic power.


    "This world," Lin Yuan murmured outside the Gateway of the Myriad Realms.


    By examining a bit of his mind, he learned that this transmigration wouldst for five hundred years, during which the main world''s time would pass for about three to four months.


    "Let''s begin," Lin Yuan thought, returning his mind. After a brief preparation, he announced that he was going into closed-door cultivation.


    Finally, his mind returned to the Gateway of the Myriad Realms once more, and with a slight movement of his thoughts, the Gateway exerted its suction force, drawing Lin Yuan''s consciousness inside.


    ...


    Hehehehe, this time... there will be REAL cultivation..

    Chapter 152


    Help me buy a newputer :D /DavidLord


    ...


    [Name: Jun Wuji (Lin Yuan)]


    [Identity: Controller of the Gate of the Myriad Realms]


    [Bound Talent: Unrivaled Insight]


    [Current Status: Consciousness Descends]


    [Remaining Residence Time: Five Hundred Years]


    The mist swirls.


    Immortal energy pervades. (Yeah, Immortal energy :D)A slightly weak young man lies on a reclining chair, apanied by two maids who gently massage him.


    "I didn''t expect this consciousness descent toe with this identity," the weak young man, Lin Yuan, silently evaluates his surroundings.


    The two maids who are massaging him appear soft and weak, but Lin Yuan can vaguely sense a faint spiritual pressure emanating from them.


    "Golden Core stage female cultivators," Lin Yuan closes his eyes and massages his temples.


    Through the memories of the ''original body,'' Lin Yuan understands that this journey through the world is into a realm dominated by the path of immortality.


    Although termed an immortal realm, it''s more urately a vast world centered around immortality.


    "My father is the most talented disciple of the Daoist Immortal Sect in this generation, possessing a mutated Heavenly Spirit Root aptitude, groomed to be the next sect master."


    "My mother is the sect master''s own daughter, a celestial beauty revered by all."


    "My grandfather is the thirtieth generation sect master of the Daoist Immortal Sect, a renowned figure in the history of the sect, ranking in the top three in terms of strength."


    "My elder brother, also blessed with Heavenly Spirit Root aptitude, is expected to reach Nascent Soul stage in the future."


    "My second sister, with a mutated Earth Spirit Root, has a high probability of entering the Nascent Soul stage thanks to the resources provided by the sect."


    "As for me, I''m just a talentless waste," Lin Yuan silently ponders. (Does it bring you any memories? :D)


    In this world, spiritual roots are crucial; they serve as a ''bridge'' between heaven and earth.


    Spiritual roots are divided into Heavenly Spirit Root, Earth Spirit Root, Dual Spirit Root, Triple Spirit Root, Quadruple Spirit Root, and Quintuple Spirit Root.


    Quintuple Spirit Root is also known as a worthless spirit root.


    Given Lin Yuan''s background, even possessing a worthless Quintuple Spirit Root would have allowed him to be a Foundation Establishment stage or even Golden Core stage cultivator with abundant resources.


    But unfortunately, he has no spiritual root aptitude.


    Without a spiritual root, one cannot absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth.


    Even if one forcefully enters the Foundation Establishment stage through resources, they will rapidly regress and eventually return to being an ordinary person.


    It''s like a bamboo basket that, no matter how much water it holds, will quickly leak it all away.


    "The spiritual energy of heaven and earth?" Lin Yuan carefully perceives for a moment.


    He discovers that the world is filled with faint, pure energy.


    Although not as rich as the ''Red Spirit Liquid'' of the main world of the Red Kun Lineage, it is abundant and nearly ubiquitous.


    "Unfortunately," Lin Yuan shakes his head slightly.


    Without a spiritual root, he cannot evene into contact with spiritual energy from heaven and earth.


    He can''t even sense it. Lin Yuan''s ability to perceive spiritual energy is entirely due to the powerful perception brought by his consciousness descent.


    "Young master, are you alright?"


    As Lin Yuan contemtes, the two maids beside him ask with concern.


    "I''m fine," Lin Yuan shakes his head slightly.


    Although he is a talentless waste without a spiritual root aptitude, as a third-generation young master of a Immortal Dao Sect, he still holds a certain status.


    Even the maids attending him, who are in the Golden Core stage, were arranged by his mother, not only to serve Lin Yuan but also to protect him.


    "You may leave for now," Lin Yuan waves his hand.


    "Yes."


    The two maids nod respectfully and withdraw.


    Lin Yuan watches them leave.


    These two Golden Core stage maids were arranged by Lin Yuan''s mother, not only to serve him but also with the intention of protection.


    "This world," Lin Yuan''s face shows a pensive expression.


    In this world, vast and boundless, the Daoist Immortal Sect dominates the resource-rich Central Divine Continent, boasting the strongest power, with generation after generation producing geniuses.


    Beyond the Central Divine Continent, to the west lies thend of the savage beasts and demons. Those transformed great demons constantly eye the Central Divine Continent and have been suppressed by the Daoist Immortal Sect several times.


    To the south of the Central Divine Continent lies the domain of ghost cultivators, a ce filled with eerie and sinister aura, not suitable for normal cultivators to stay for long.


    To the north of the Central Divine Continent is where demonic cultivators gather, led by the Blood Demon Lord. The strongest among them cultivates the Blood Sea Demon Scripture and is said to be immortal as long as the blood sea does not dry up.


    "The Daoist Immortal Sect, the savage beasts and demons, the ghost cultivators in the south, and the demonic cultivators in the north are the four main forces. To the east are the overseas inds, where some misceneous sects are said to be established, but they are far from forming a significant influence."


    "Without a doubt, among these forces, the Daoist Immortal Sect is unquestionably the strongest. With the power of a single sect, they dominate the resource-rich Central Divine Continent, driving the other three major forces to the periphery."


    Lin Yuan thinks silently to himself.


    Through the memories he has gained, Lin Yuan understands that although the Daoist Immortal Sect bears the name of ''morality,'' its actions are extremely domineering.


    In the Divine Continent, originally apart from the Daoist Immortal Sect, there were several other major immortal sects, but they were all eventually wiped out by the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    In the end, the entire Divine Continent was monopolized by the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    "No matter in which world, strength determines everything," Jun Wuji thought to himself.


    The Human Civilization Alliance in the main world constantly expands outward and fights against other races, upying numerous gxies, not much different from the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    "This time, I have five hundred years of residency, so I can take my time," Jun Wuji sighed with relief as he nced at the remaining residency time.


    "Is this not the Daoist Immortal Sect?" Jun Wuji stood up. At this moment, where he was, it was a paradise with abundant spiritual energy, butpared to the majestic atmosphere of the Daoist Immortal Mountain in his memory, it was far inferior.


    "So, because of the blow, I voluntarily let my parents send me out of the Daoist Immortal Mountain," Jun Wuji immediately found the reason from his memory.


    The original body could not cultivate. Although he had a transcendent background, the true disciples and sequence disciples of the Daoist Immortal Sect did not dare to humiliate him.


    However, facing those disciples who flew around all day long, Jun Wuji couldn''t help feeling a little depressed.


    The strength and means possessed by the disciples of the immortal sect who bowed and bowed before him were beyond measure.


    Living in such an environment of extreme contrast for a long time, Jun Wuji simply had his parents send him out.


    The reason why the Daoist Immortal Mountain was called an "immortal mountain" was because its spiritual energy was so abundant that it almost formed substance.


    For any cultivator, practicing there had incalcble benefits.


    However, Jun Wuji didn''t need spiritual energy. Without spiritual roots, no matter how much spiritual energy there was, it was useless to him.


    So the Daoist Immortal Mountain was not as important to Jun Wuji as he imagined.


    "That''s good too," Jun Wuji nodded slightly, quite satisfied.


    If he were still in the Daoist Immortal Mountain, he would have to be extremely cautious in front of a Void Refinement Stage Cultivator.


    A Void Refinement Stage Cultivator, holding the Daoist Immortal Sect''s town sect immortal tool, would be an invincible existence.


    This was also the reason why the Daoist Immortal Sect could upy the Central Divine Continent. As long as the sect did not undergo the transition of Void Refinement Stage Cultivator, it would be the strongest force of the time, without exception.


    "This should be the Cloud Mist Blessed Land?" Jun Wuji carefully observed. Although the original body could not cultivate, he still had somemon sense about the cultivation world.


    In the Divine Continent, there were seventy-two Blessed Caves and one hundred and eight Blessed Lands, all of which were on par with the Daoist Immortal Mountain, top-notch cultivation sanctuaries.


    Among them, the Cloud Mist Blessed Land was one of the one hundred and eight Blessed Lands. The internal spiritual energy was abundant and could supply daily cultivation and breakthroughs for Nascent Soul cultivators.


    Jun Wuji was unwilling to continue staying in the Daoist Immortal Mountain. So his parents specially vacated one of the one hundred and eight Blessed Lands, the Cloud Mist Blessed Land, for him to live in, obviously doting on this son extremely.


    Outside the Cloud Mist Blessed Land.


    Two people, a man and a woman, shrouded in mist were silently watching the Blessed Land below.


    "Wuji," the female cultivator standing on the left, her expression deste, muttered as she looked at Jun Wuji in the Blessed Land.


    "Qin''er, don''t be sad."


    "Wuji has no spiritual roots, and there''s nothing we can do about it."


    The male cultivator next to her spoke softly.


    Normally, spiritual roots would be passed down to the next generation with bloodline transmission.


    Parents with spiritual roots would greatly increase the probability of their offspring having spiritual roots.


    But there were no absolutes.


    There were still cases where parents had high spiritual root qualifications, but their offspring turned out to be Triple or Quadruple Root.


    But in the case of someone like Jun Wuji, whose parents were both Heaven Root, but gave birth to a son with no spiritual root qualifications, such a probability was rare.


    Like Jun Wuji''s elder brother and second sister, one had Heaven Root and the other had a mutated Earth Root, which was normal.


    "I will go to father and ask him to take out the ''Nine Heavens Lustrous Water'' and let Wuji take it," the female cultivator spoke.


    The Nine Heavens Lustrous Water was a treasure of the Central Divine Continent. It was said that when mortals consumed it, it had the effect of rebirthing their spiritual roots.


    Of course, no mortal had ever consumed the Nine Heavens Lustrous Water to date because it was too precious. Even Void Refinement Stage Cultivators would make significant efforts to obtain it. Would mortals be allowed to consume it?


    "Qin''er."


    "Please don''t mention this matter in front of the sect master."


    "The Nine Heavens Lustrous Water is the main material for refining the Ancient Void Pill."


    "And the Ancient Void Pill is a key pill for breaking through from Nascent Soul to Void Refinement Stage."


    "My Daoist Immortal Sect absolutely cannot afford to not have a future Void Refinement Stage Cultivator."


    The male cultivator beside her spoke solemnly.


    He also wanted to help his son.


    But the Nine Heavens Lustrous Water was rted to the sect''s inheritance. How could they treat it lightly?


    Let alone Jun Wuji, even he couldn''t use the Nine Heavens Lustrous Water until he reached the peak of Nascent Soul.


    The Daoist Immortal Sect could only collect a trace of the Nine Heavens Lustrous Water every ten thousand years, just enough to refine the Ancient Void Pill.


    The female cultivator remained silent.


    She also understood this principle.


    But seeing her son so depressed, she felt extremely ufortable in her heart.


    "Since he can''t grow into a towering tree, what we can do.." the male cultivator sighed lightly, "is to let him live his life quietly."


    Cloud Mist Blessed Land.


    Lin Yuan nced in a certain direction.


    "Finally left," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Since his consciousness descended.


    He had vaguely sensed a kind of scrutiny.


    This kind of scrutiny did not harbor malicious intent.


    It should be his parents who had just sent him over.


    "I wonder what I am now?"


    "Reincarnation? Or transmigration?"


    Lin Yuan picked up the jade teacup next to him and took a sip.


    The tea entered his throat, turning into strands of spiritual energy, moisturizing Lin Yuan''s body.


    "It''s worthy of being the tea of the third generation of immortals. This kind of immortal tea, if ced outside, would probably make a group of Golden Core stage cultivators fight over it, right?"


    Lin Yuan took a few more sips.


    "It should not be reincarnation."


    Lin Yuan judged in his heart.


    The essence of reincarnation is for the soul of the reincarnator to upy the body of the one being reincarnated.


    But now, neither the flesh nor the soul of Jun Wuji had changed, only the consciousness had changed to Lin Yuan''s.


    Moreover, reincarnation was not umon in this world.


    If Lin Yuan had reincarnated as Jun Wuji, his parents, who had long since stepped into the Nascent Soul realm, would have noticed.


    "Perhaps my consciousness has long been ced in this world, but I encountered the ''Womb Illusion'' and only awakened my memory now?"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    This could also exin why the time of his consciousness awakening varied each time he traveled.


    "Forget it."


    "These are not important."


    Lin Yuan shook his head.


    Whether it was reincarnation or consciousness descent.


    Anyway, now he was Jun Wuji.


    "The cultivation system in this world mainly revolves around the Dao of Immortality, with other paths like demonic beasts, ghosts, and demons being essentially the same."


    Although Jun Wuji did not have spiritual roots, he had tried various cultivation methods, so Lin Yuan now understood.


    While thinking, Lin Yuan came to the deepest part of the Cloud Mist Blessed Land.


    This was the core of the entire Blessed Land, also the ce with the most abundant spiritual energy.


    Staying in this environment for a long time, even if one were an ordinary person, could prolong one''s life.


    "I''m going to rest now."


    "There''s no need to pay attention to me."


    Lin Yuan suddenly spoke.


    "Yes."


    Two female voices came from outside, they were Lin Yuan''s two Golden Core stage maids.


    Chunhua.


    Qiuyue.


    As Lin Yuan''s maids and bodyguards.


    Chunhua and Qiuyue always kept their divine senses on Lin Yuan.


    To prevent any idents.


    Lin Yuan''s words just now were to make Chunhua and Qiuyue withdraw their divine senses.


    This was also a habit of the original Jun Wuji.


    Although he was an ordinary person, he didn''t like being enveloped by divine senses.


    Even though he couldn''t feel the envelopment of divine senses at all.


    Feeling Chunhua and Qiuyue''s divine senses leaving, Lin Yuan''s mind moved slightly and took out a few array discs.


    Then he put in some spirit stones and activated them directly.


    Suddenly.


    A hazy illusionary barrier enveloped the surroundings.


    This array disc could block the divine senses of cultivators.


    Even though it couldn''t block Nascent Soul stage cultivators, it could still ''warn'' in advance.


    Of course.


    Lin Yuan didn''t rely on these external objects.


    Whether it was the array disc or other means.


    They were all ced by Lin Yuan openly for others to see.


    Lin Yuan''s true reliance was his own perception as a Sixth rank evolver.


    The perception of a Sixth rank evolver was equivalent to that of a Void Refinement Stage Cultivator. Even if the sect master of the Daoist Immortal Sect secretly probed Lin Yuan with divine senses, it would be immediately detected.


    "Almost done."


    After doing all this.


    Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.


    Next.


    What he needed to do was to cultivate and restore his full strength as much as possible.


    Without strength, even if he had a transcendent background and no one dared to provoke him, Lin Yuan would still not feel safe.

    ...


    In this cultivation system of this realm, from weak to strong, it is divided into: Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Divine Transformation, and Void Refinement.


    Lin Yuan has no spiritual roots, unable to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.


    Naturally, it''s impossible to follow the Immortal Dao cultivation system.


    But the Martial Dao cultivation system doesn''t necessarily require spiritual roots.


    The Martial Dao cultivation system established by Lin Yuan has a very low threshold, especially for someone like Lin Yuan, who has already pushed martial arts to the sixth rank as the founder.


    It''s even effortless.


    Exhale.Inhale.


    Lin Yuan sits cross-legged.


    The essence within his body circtes.


    After a moment.


    Lin Yuan opens his eyes, taking out a bottle of elixir.


    He pours out a pill and swallows it.


    As the elixir enters his body, it instantly turns into surging blood and energy.


    Continuously forming the ''inner qi'' of the early stages of martial arts.


    The difference between the Immortal Dao and the Martial Dao in the early stages, is that the Immortal Dao requires refining the essence of heaven and earth into one''s own qi.


    The essence of heaven and earth here refers to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.


    While the Martial Dao is refining one''s own essence and transforming it into one''s own qi.


    In terms of efficiency, naturally, refining the essence of heaven and earth in the Immortal Dao is faster.


    After all, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is endless, and the refining process is continuous.


    Of course, the shorings are also obvious.


    That is, it relies too much on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.


    If one loses the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, or goes to a ce without spiritual energy of heaven and earth.


    It''s estimated that the Immortal Dao cultivation system will be cut off.


    In the Martial Dao cultivation system, the early stages involve refining one''s own essence.


    Regardless of which world one is in, as long as one still has blood and energy, one can cultivate the Martial Dao.


    And as the Martial Dao cultivation progresses to deeper stages, one can also forcibly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.


    The so-called spiritual energy of heaven and earth is nothing but a form of energy.


    It''s just that Immortal Dao cultivators use their internal spiritual roots to attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, while Martial Dao cultivators forcibly consume the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.


    Half a dayter.


    Lin Yuan consumed dozens of elixirs to enhance his blood and energy, stepping into the second rank.


    The second rank of martial arts is equivalent to the Foundation Building stage in the Immortal Dao.


    "Almost there."


    Lin Yuan restrained his blood and energy, concealing the aura of the second rankof martial arts.


    In this realm, it''s a major Immortal Dao world. If he suddenly exhibits talents or methods he didn''t have before, even if there are no traces of being ''possessed'', he will attract attention from others, especially considering his deep background.


    With a grandparent at the level of Void Refinement Stage Cultivator.


    It''s better to be cautious.


    Lin Yuan doesn''t want to see himself being brought by his parents to his grandparent''s ce for examination due to his abnormal performance, and maybe even end up staying with this Ancient Saint. (Another way to call Void Refinement Stage Cultivators)


    "I need to create a technique to shield against Divine Sense."


    Lin Yuan fell into contemtion.


    The detection methods in the Immortal Dao world are mainly based on Divine Sense.


    As long as he can shield against Divine Sense, it''s equivalent to making it difficult for outsiders to actively detect Lin Yuan''s true strength.


    "Divine Sense."


    Lin Yuan pondered repeatedly.


    Divine Sense is a certain application of the power of the soul. To shield against Divine Sense, one must also use the power of the soul to ''prevent'' it.


    Lin Yuan''s insight is exceptional, coupled with numerous evolution paths in the main world, many of which involve soul-based evolution paths.


    So it only took him a few days.


    To create a technique specifically designed to counter Divine Sense.


    This technique uses one''s own soul power to condense into a special barrier. The moment other cultivators'' Divine Sense probe over, it quickly assimtes, thereby achieving the goal of shielding.


    "Not bad, not bad."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    By activating this technique andbining it with his own realm, unless a Void Refinement Stage Cultivator personallyes and repeatedly inspects him, it would be difficult to notice any anomalies.


    If Lin Yuan were to restore his strength to the fourth or fifth rank, even if it were a Void Refinement Stage Cultivator, even if he inspects Lin Yuan thoroughly inside and out, there shouldn''t be any problems.


    Two monthster.


    Lin Yuan was in seclusion practicing.


    Suddenly.


    At this moment.


    The maid Chunhua hurriedly arrived outside.


    "Young Master, the Eldest Young Master and Second Miss are here to see you."


    "I know." Lin Yuan stopped practicing and walked out.


    The Eldest Young Master and Second Miss mentioned by Chunhua, naturally, they are Lin Yuan''s older brother and sister.


    The three of them have a good rtionship, and the older brother and sister take good care of Lin Yuan.


    Previously, when Lin Yuan lived on Daoist Immortal Mountain, no one dared to provoke him.


    Apart from his parents and grandfather''s background.


    It''s also because all the disciples of the Immortal Sect who provoked Lin Yuan, were somehow beaten up by the older brother and sister several times.


    As time went by, whenever the disciples of the Immortal Sect saw Lin Yuan, they couldn''t help but be cautious, afraid of being beaten up for no reason.


    After all.


    If they were beaten by other disciples, they could still reason it out and even go to the Law Enforcement Hall of the Immortal Sect toin.


    But if Lin Yuan''s older brother and sister were to beat them up, they would have to swallow it themselves.


    After all, their background is there.


    Can thew enforcement cultivators of the Immortal Sect truly dare to punish the grandson of a cultivator at the Void Refinement Stage Cultivator level?


    Even though the Sect Master of the Immortal Sect has repeatedly emphasized that thew enforcement cultivators must act justly and impartially, without any favoritism.


    But who truly dares to act ''justly and impartially''?


    "Younger brother."


    "Younger brother."


    Lin Yuan hadn''t even reached the main hall yet when he heard his elder brother and sister calling him.


    "Big brother, second sister."


    Lin Yuan greeted them.


    "Hahaha, younger brother, you look quite healthy."


    "Tell me, who dared to fly in front of you? I''ll make them fly for a year."


    "A year isn''t enough, at least three years."


    The elder brother and sister chuckled.


    "Hahaha, it''s fine, no need for that trouble."


    Lin Yuan waved his hand.


    Originally, Jun Wuji, the original owner of this body, wasn''t a bad person; he wouldn''t cling to a matter like this. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have willingly let his parents send him out here.


    Lin Yuan looked at his elder brother and sister in front of him.


    His elder brother was a tall and sturdy man with a very affable smile.


    It was said that his elder brother had a gold attribute spirit root talent and followed the path of sword cultivation. His killing power ranked among the top three among the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    Every time there was a riot among the savage beasts in the west, it was his elder brother who led the suppression. One could only imagine how much blood of demon kings had stained his hands.


    As for his second sister, she had a mutated thunder attribute earth spirit root. She appeared gentle and restrained, but that was only in front of her family.


    Outside, she was known as the Goddess of the Divine Sky.


    "Younger brother said he won''t pursue it, so we won''t. Let''s be lenient with those people."


    The elder brother smiled.


    They could see that Lin Yuan seemed to be in a good mood now.


    "Younger brother, let me tell you, this Cloud Mist Blessed Land is called the ''Longevity'' Blessed Land."


    "Among the one hundred and eight blessednds of the Central Land Divine Continent, each blessednd has unique effects. The effect of the Cloud Mist Blessed Land is longevity."


    "If you stay here for a long time and asionally take longevity pills, even if you don''t cultivate, you can live for hundreds or even thousands of years, which is very likely."


    The elder brother spoke up.


    The second sister nodded in agreement.


    "Father and mother faced a lot of questioning from many elders when they cleared out the Cloud Mist Blessed Land for you as your residence."


    "But in the end, Dad stood firm against the objections and secured this Cloud Mist Blessed Land."


    The second sister said.


    "Causing trouble for Mom and Dad."


    Lin Yuan sighed.


    One could imagine the emotions of those elders of the Immortal Sect when they heard that the Cloud Mist Blessed Land, one of the one hundred and eight blessednds, was to be inhabited by a waste without spiritual roots.


    But there was no way around it.


    Although Lin Yuan didn''t have spiritual roots, he had a background.


    No matter how much others doubted, it could only be doubt.


    They couldn''t make any substantive decisions at all.


    That''s the Immortal Sect for you.


    "These days," Lin Yuan''s mind was pleased.


    After experiencing the fourth transmigration, the initial twenty years of darkness in the Abyss of Great Suppression.


    This time, the transmigration started at its peak. Except for the inability to cultivate, everything else was fine.


    Even the only drawback of not being able to cultivate was only in the eyes of others.


    In fact, Lin Yuan could still cultivate, and even advance rapidly.


    "Right, little brother."


    "Living here, do you have any needs?"


    "Just tell big brother."


    The three chatted for a while, and the elder brother asked.


    "Needs?"


    Lin Yuan thought for a moment.


    "I want to try practicing again. I need some immortal cultivation techniques and physical cultivation techniques."


    Lin Yuan said.


    The reason he made such a request was that Lin Yuan wanted toprehend the cultivation systems of this world.


    Without spiritual roots, Lin Yuan couldn''t embark on the path of immortal cultivation.


    But that didn''t mean Lin Yuan couldn''tprehend or borrow from the immortal cultivation system.


    Some of the concepts and ideas of the immortal cultivation system could still provide Lin Yuan with some inspiration.


    And under his unparalleled insight, these inspirations could have a magnifying effect.


    As for the physical cultivation techniquester on.


    Physical cultivation was a branch derived from the immortal cultivation system.


    It only forged the body, so there were no restrictions regarding spiritual roots.


    However, to try physical cultivation, one must endure endless torment.


    Coupled with the fact that the lifespan of physical cultivation was no different from that of an ordinary person, the original Jun Wuji hadn''t made much attempt at this cultivation method.


    "Younger brother."


    The elder brother and sister sighed in their hearts.


    They understood that Jun Wuji still hadn''t given up on cultivation.


    Throughout history, there had never been a case of someone without spiritual roots embarking on the path of immortal cultivation.


    But the former Jun Wuji firmly believed that just because something hadn''t happened in the past didn''t mean it wouldn''t happen in the future.


    So Jun Wuji often collected some immortal cultivation techniques as well as esoteric arts from other sects to try cultivation.


    His elder brother, second sister, and parents saw all of this.


    Although they knew that what Jun Wuji was doing wouldn''t yield any results.


    But they couldn''t bear to stop him.


    "Body cultivation techniques."


    "Little brother, the path of body cultivation entails enduring great pain. Are you prepared for that?"


    Big brother couldn''t help but remind.


    For ordinary people, embarking on the path of body cultivation could be understandable. After all, even if it doesn''t increase lifespan, it at least enhances strength. But for Jun Wuji, it held little significance, rather seemed somewhat redundant.


    "I want to see the principles behind body cultivation techniques."


    Lin Yuan stated his reasons.


    In reality, Lin Yuan was curious about the intricacies of body cultivation techniques in terms of refining the physical body. Typically, no cultivator would solely practice body cultivation techniques. Usually, those who were already at the stage of Golden Core or Nascent Soul would turn to body cultivation to enhance their physical strength and increase their chances of survival.


    "No problem."


    Big brother nodded.


    As for the artifacts and treasures of the Daoist Immortal Sect, bringing them out required application procedures. But as for techniques and secrets, except for a small portion, Lin Yuan could copy down as many as he wanted onto jade slips to take with him.


    The three chatted for a while longer.


    Big brother and second sister then took their leave.


    "Is there something bothering big brother?"


    Lin Yuan keenly noticed big brother''s unusual demeanor.


    ording to big brother''s habits, he would usually stay with Lin Yuan for at least half a day.


    "It''s nothing major."


    "It''s just those wild beasts in the west causing some trouble again recently."


    "I need to go over and kill a few dozen Demon Kings to show them who''s boss."


    Big brother shook his head, unconcerned.


    To big brother, Demon Kings were no different from livestock waiting to be ughtered.


    "Be careful."


    "I heard there''s a new Demon Saint''s aura appearing in the Demon Saint''s Nest."


    Second sister nced at big brother, reminding him.


    The Demon Saint''s Nest was the sanctuary of the wild beasts, said to be ruled by a certain Demon Saint. And a Demon Saint corresponded to the level of a Void Refinement Stage Cultivator.


    "Don''t worry. If there really is a Demon Saint''s aura, I''ll make sure to get out of there."


    Big brother nodded.


    "The Demon Saint''s Nest," Lin Yuan pondered.


    Although the Daoist Immortal Sect was seated in the central continent of the Central Divine Land, enjoying the richest resources, the beasts in the west, ghosts in the south, and blood demons in the north all had their eyes on the Daoist Immortal Sect. However, due to the sect''s unparalleled strength, there had been no major conflicts in recent years.


    "Hahaha, second sister, I''ve told you not to talk about these things in front of little brother." Big brotherughed heartily upon seeing Lin Yuan''s expression.


    "Don''t worry."


    "With the life-saving methods bestowed by the Sect Master, even if I encounter a Demon Saint, I can ensure my survival."


    After big brother finished speaking, he turned and left.


    "Little brother."


    "If you have any questions, be sure to tell your sister."


    Second sister reminded Lin Yuan a few more times before also getting up to leave.


    For a moment, the Cloud Mist Blessed Land quieted down again.


    Several dayster, disciples of the Daoist Immortal Sect brought over dozens of jade slips.


    Inside were recorded numerous profound cultivation techniques.


    At the bottom were three jade slips, containing the three most powerful body cultivation techniques collected by the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    "Body cultivation."


    Lin Yuan''s eyes lit up.


    He immediately began browsing through them.


    Body cultivation was renowned for refining the physical body. And the evolutionary paths of martial arts also ced great emphasis on body refinement. The foundation of the martial arts evolutionary systemy in the cultivation of the physical body''s qi and blood, nourishing the spirit on this foundation, and evolving the primordial spirit.


    "The body cultivation lineage in this realm continuously explores the potential of the physical body. By purely enhancing the strength of the physical body, when the physical body reaches its peak strength, there''s a certain probability of manifesting a¡­ physical body divine ability?"


    Lin Yuan looked pensive.


    The so-called physical body divine ability was an ability engraved deep within the blood vessels of the physical body. In theory, such an ability shouldn''t manifest at all because it was too weak. However, body cultivation techniques did have the potential to rekindle this ability.


    Of course, it was only potential.


    For most cultivators who pushed body cultivation to its limits, manifesting a physical body divine ability was a legendary feat.


    "Physical body divine ability."


    Lin Yuan''s eyes shone brightly. With his unparalleled insight, he couldpletely refine and perfect body cultivation techniques, greatly increasing the likelihood of manifesting a physical body divine ability.


    From that day on, Lin Yuan secluded himself in the Cloud Mist Blessed Land, quietly restoring his strength while delving into the essence of the cultivation system of this realm.


    Time passed silently.


    In the blink of an eye, twenty years had gone by.

    ...


    Cloud Mist Blessed Land.


    The ethereal aura of immortality enveloped the surroundings. At the peak pavilion, Lin Yuany back in a chair, leisurely absorbing the ''Primordial Purple Qi'' that only appeared in the early morning.


    Primordial Purple Qi, a type of celestial aura, could dispel hidden injuries and nourish the body, greatly aiding those who practiced physical cultivation.


    Compared to twenty years ago, Lin Yuan''splexion had improved significantly, and his body had grown much stronger.


    "Master, here is the brewed Cloud Mist Immortal Tea," said Chunhua and Qiuyue, two Golden Core stage female cultivators, respectfully approaching.


    They ced the Cloud Mist Immortal Tea in front of Lin Yuan and then skillfully began massaging his body.


    "Master, practicing the physical cultivation technique must be very exhausting. Do you need to rest?" Qiuyue whispered softly."No need. Both of you may leave," Lin Yuan said casually without lifting his eyelids.


    "Yes, Master," Qiuyue replied disappointedly, after which she and Chunhua respectfully bowed and left the peak pavilion.


    On the mountain path, Chunhua and Qiuyue spoke in hushed tones.


    "Master has too much perseverance to have cultivated the physical cultivation technique to the Golden Core stage. How much pain must he have endured?" Chunhua eximed in amazement.


    Although physical cultivation did not rely on spiritual roots, it required enduring endless suffering during cultivation and consumed far more resources than cultivators of the same level.


    Lin Yuan, being a prominent figure in the Daoist Immortal Sect, was undoubtedly notcking in resources. But the fact that he could endure the pain of practicing the physical cultivation technique from a young age surprised everyone.


    "Physical cultivators in the Golden Core stage have powerful vitality, unmatched physique, and unparalleled strength. Many female cultivators outside yearn to have a partner with high proficiency in physical cultivation," Qiuyue couldn''t help but whisper.


    "Don''t get ahead of yourself," Chunhua nced at Qiuyue. "Who is Master? Even if he doesn''t have spiritual roots, he is not someone you can aspire to."


    "What do you mean? I only admire Master; I have no other intentions," Qiuyue quickly rified.


    "Whatever you say, just make sure you understand it in your heart," Chunhua shook her head.


    Although they were sent to serve Jun Wuji, they were prepared to dedicate themselves to him, but only if he willingly epted. As for coercion? Chunhua and Qiuyue would never dare.


    "But even if Master has cultivated the physical cultivation technique to the Golden Core stage, he still hasn''t manifested a Fleshly Divine Ability?" (Physical body divine ability)


    ...


    "The physical cultivation technique I''ve been practicing is a fusion of the top seventy-three physical cultivation techniques,bined with my insights. Could it be that the so-called Fleshly Divine Ability is just a legend?" Lin Yuan furrowed his brows.


    "Even if there is no manifestation of a Fleshly Divine Ability, the physical cultivation technique has brought me a lot of assistance. In terms ofbat power, a Golden Core stage physical cultivator can almost sweep through the same rank," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Over the years, Lin Yuan deliberately revealed his talent in physical cultivation, and recently, he even openly disyed his strength in the Golden Core stage. All this was to request resources from his elder brother, elder sister, and parents.


    If Lin Yuan were just an ordinary person, his high demand for cultivation resources would probably attract attention. But being obsessed with physical cultivation was well-known to consume far more resources than other cultivators of the same level.


    Furthermore, considering Lin Yuan''s identity as the third generation young master of the Daoist Immortal Sect, to ensure safety, they gave him about ten times the resources to breakthrough to a certain realm and prevent any idents.


    And asionally going out to enjoy the autumn breeze.


    Considering all this, Lin Yuan, besides reaching the Golden Core stage in physical cultivation, had also restored his martial dao cultivation to the peak of the fifth rank.


    He had begun the process of soul fusion and transformation and was on the verge of entering the sixth rank, returning to the peak, which was expected to happen soon.


    Lin Yuan chose to publicly disy his talent in physical cultivation not only to acquire resources but also to conceal his own martial dao aura.


    Martial dao.


    Different from immortal cultivation.


    The two belong topletely different cultivation systems.


    It''s almost like the demon path in the west, the devil path in the north, and the ghost path in the south.


    For the Daoist Immortal Sect, whether it''s martial dao or demonic dao, ghost dao or demon dao, they all belong to evil paths.


    Once discovered, they can be directly suppressed.


    This is the struggle of the great way, unrted to right or wrong, good or bad.


    Take Jun Wuji for example, without spiritual roots, he cannot cultivate immortality, but he can walk the ghost path or practice the demonic dao.


    Both can bypass the issue of spiritual roots.


    However, from beginning to end, whether it''s Jun Wuji''s grandfather or his parents, they would rather think of using the ''Nine Heavens Lustrous Water'' than consider having Jun Wuji switch to the demonic or ghost path.


    In the Daoist Immortal Sect, disciples are proud and have always looked down upon the ghost path, demon path, and devil path. Even though Jun Wujicks spiritual roots, he is not willing to practice any cultivation path other than the immortal dao.


    "This is the struggle of the great way."


    Lin Yuan''s expression became slightly solemn.


    In this world, it''s an immortal cultivation world, where cultivators are the mainstream. As for other demon, devil, and ghost paths, they are all scattered. If they dare to cause trouble, they are directly suppressed.


    For tens of thousands of years, it has always been like this.


    If Lin Yuan''s martial dao strength were discovered, there is only one possibility.


    That is to be killed.


    Of course, given Lin Yuan''s background, he might survive, but his martial dao cultivation would also be abolished.


    He would be kept alive but imprisoned until death.


    Want martial dao and immortal dao to coexist?


    It''s possible.


    But it''s not something you can achieve by just talking about it.


    Nor is it something you can obtain through familial charity.


    It requires absolute strength.


    If one day, martial dao can barely resist immortal dao.


    At least under the suppression of the Daoist Immortal Sect, the lineage would not be cut off.


    Then it would be possible to survive like the demon, ghost, and devil paths.


    If it couldpete with the Daoist Immortal Sect and not fall behind.


    Then it would be possible to share the resource-rich Central Divine Continent with the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    But thetter is difficult.


    For tens of thousands of years, the demon, devil, and ghost paths have joined forces more than once, but they were all crushed by the absolute power of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    "I want to spread the path of martial dao evolution."


    "It''s inevitable to face the Daoist Immortal Sect."


    Lin Yuan silently thought to himself.


    The path of martial dao evolution has a foothold in this world, but the Daoist Immortal Sect is an obstacle that cannot be ovee.


    And the Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect, a Void Refinement Stage Cultivator, wields the sect''s immortal weapon, capable of disying peak sixth-rank power, even stepping into the realm of half-step seventh-rank.


    Such terrifying strength also puts pressure on Lin Yuan.


    "Take it slow."


    "There are still four hundred and eighty years of residence time."


    "As long as I can cultivate to the peak of the sixth rank, I can contend with the strongest power of the Daoist Immortal Sect."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    As for breaking through to the seventh rank, Lin Yuan wasn''t sure. With five hundred years, it''s not a simple matter to open up the seventh-rank level of the path of evolution.


    It''s not about cultivating to the seventh rank, but about opening up the path to the seventh rank.


    The difficulty between the two is countless times different. Even with Lin Yuan''s extraordinary insight, he isn''t very confident.


    The paths of evolution to the seventh rank in the main world were created after thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years.


    And the founders of these paths to the seventh rank were mostly eighth or ninth rank evolvers. Under their lofty guidance, the difficulty would be greatly reduced.


    "Forget about the Daoist Immortal Sect for now."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts converged. He wanted to spread the path of martial dao in this world, preparing for the ''ultimate leap'' in the future.


    First, he musty the foundation for the dissemination of the path of martial dao evolution.


    The rise to prominence of a cultivation system cannot happen in a short time.


    If Lin Yuan''s strength was the peak of the second or third rank, equivalent to the Foundation Establishment or Golden Core stage in this world, and faces a group of Yuanying or Nascent Soul stage powerhouses, just surviving would be enough, so what''s the point of nning?


    But now.


    Lin Yuan has already reached the peak of the fifth rank.


    Equivalent to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, with various means at his disposal, he estimates he could even go toe-to-toe with a Void Refinement Stage Cultivator.


    Naturally, there is the qualification toy out ns.


    "To spread the path of martial dao evolution, first we need to establish power, a force consisting solely of martial dao cultivators."


    "And to establish power, we need territory as a prerequisite."


    Lin Yuan''s mind stirred slightly.


    A map appeared before his eyes.


    In the center of the map was Central Divine Continent, the territory of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    To the north was a region presented in bloody ck, the territory of the Blood Demon Lord, also a sacred ce for demonic cultivators.


    To the west was the area of the savage beasts, said to be protected by the ''Demon Saint''s Nest,'' capable of nurturing demon saintsparable to ancient saints. (Void Refinement Stage = Ancient Sage)


    And to the south, shrouded in ghostly atmosphere, belonged to the gloomy ghost cultivators. It was rumored that the mysterious Gloomy Ghost Pce was the origin of ghost cultivators, connected to the underworld.


    Lin Yuan''s gaze swept across the map continuously.


    Whether it was Central Divine Continent or the north, west, and south, there were already forces upying them. It would be difficult for martial dao to develop in any of these three ces.


    "To the east."


    Lin Yuan looked towards the eastern region on the map.


    There, facing the East Sea, was a ce for misceneous sects and factions.


    In simple terms, it belonged to the ''Three Uncontrolled'' zone, filled with numerous cultivators of unknown identity.


    Many cultivators who offended the Daoist Immortal Sect fled to the East Sea Inds. As long as they didn''t court death, they could live freely.


    "We can start from the East Sea."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    At least in the East Sea Inds, the sources of power areplex, and martial dao blends in, not standing out too much.


    "You go to the East Sea, spread martial dao, and establish power."


    Lin Yuan''s mind stirred slightly, and a phantom figure emerged from his body.


    As soon as this phantom figure came into contact with the outside world, it quickly solidified, emitting a radiant aura, with bright eyes, quietly standing there.


    It was Lin Yuan''s ''Yang Spirit.''


    Also known as the Sun Divine Spirit.


    At the fifth rank of martial dao, one can create a corresponding martial dao divine spirit.


    A martial dao divine spirit is equivalent to a ''clone'' and shares the same consciousness as the main body.


    Its strength won''t be much weaker than the main body.


    At the moment, Lin Yuan''s ''Yang Spirit'' was fully unleashed, and it should have no opponents under the Void Refinement Stage Cultivator.


    Whoosh.


    The Yang Spirit disappeared.


    ording to Lin Yuan''s instructions, it headed towards the distant East Sea.


    In fact, Lin Yuan shares consciousness with the Yang Spirit, so he can see what the Yang Spirit sees. Conversing with the Yang Spirit is simr to talking to himself.


    Hum.


    Lin Yuan''s Yang Spirit transformed from solid to phantom, easily bypassing the numerous restrictions of the Cloud and Mist Blessed Land and arriving in the outside world.


    "It may take some time to return this time."


    Lin Yuan muttered to himself, then turned and flew towards the east.


    On the peak of the Cloud and Mist Mountain.


    Lin Yuan still sat cross-legged.


    Sending out the Yang Spirit was part of Lin Yuan''s n.


    Later on, Lin Yuan would even send out the Yin Spirit.


    The two martial dao divine spirits were equivalent to Lin Yuan''s two ''clones.''


    One body, three parts, sharing consciousness.


    In addition.


    With the divine spirits outside, there was another benefit.


    That is, even if Lin Yuan''s main body perished, it wouldn''t be aplete death.


    The Yin Spirit produces the Yang Spirit.


    The Yang Spirit produces the Yin Spirit.


    Yin and Yang give birth to the Taiji.


    The Taiji gives birth to all things.


    As long as the Yin and Yang Spirits are present, a new physical body can be regenerated.


    Simrly, as long as the physical body exists, even if the Yin and Yang Spirits perish outside, a new Yin and Yang Spirit can be condensed with the physical body.


    Main body, Yin Spirit, Yang Spirit.


    As long as one is alive, Lin Yuan cannot die.


    Therefore, sending out the Yin and Yang Spirits was also to increase his own survival ability.


    Half a monthter.


    "I''m almost back to the sixth rank strength."


    Lin Yuan felt carefully and thought to himself.


    "Body cultivation."


    Lin Yuan''s face showed contemtion.


    In the line of body cultivation, breaking through to the realm of Void Refinement Stage is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.


    It''s almost impossible.


    For tens of thousands of years in Central Divine Continent.


    Not a single Void Refinement Stage body cultivator has appeared.


    Just as Lin Yuan was contemting the realm of Void Refinement Stage in body cultivation and trying to deduce it with his extraordinary insight.


    Suddenly, his expression changed slightly.


    He looked up towards the Cloud and Mist Blessed Land outside.

    ...


    With Lin Yuan''s current strength, he can easily perceive every detail hundreds or even thousands of miles away. This is just perception; if he were to openly unleash the Tai Chi domain without restraint, he could control tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of miles.


    "How did theye?" Lin Yuan rubbed his chin. At this moment, they were two hundred miles away from the Cloud Mist Blessed Land.


    Two streaks of light appeared, Lin Yuan''s eldest brother and second sister. Over the years, Lin Yuan''s eldest brother and second sister would visit him once every six months. It had not been even two months since theirst visit.


    "It seems that something has happened in the Sect," Lin Yuan spected.


    Before long, the two streaks of light arrived outside the Cloud Mist Blessed Land. Lin Yuan also promptly showed a hint of surprise and quickly opened the restriction formation of the blessednd to wee his eldest brother and second sister.


    Lin Yuan''s eldest brother was named Jun Xiaoyao, with the title of ''Xiaoyaozi''. As for his second sister, she was Jun Zhn, also known as ''Zhn Xianzi'', although other cultivators preferred to call her ''Shenxiao Xianzi''.


    "Younger brother, the Sect Master has broken through to the Void Cave Realm, and the Sect is holding a celebration. We''re here to take you there," exined his eldest brother, Jun Xiaoyao.


    "The Void Cave Realm?" Lin Yuan immediately understood.


    Thest cultivation level of immortality (Void Refinement Realm / Ancient Sage) was divided into three stages: the Refinement Realm, the Void Cave Realm and the Etherealization Realm.


    The Sect Master''s breakthrough to the Void Cave Realm meant that his strength was among the ancient sages, making him a formidable figure. It should be noted that most of the ancient sages in history had mostly halted at the ''Void Cave'' realm.


    "Hehe, younger brother, Grandfather even mentioned you specifically. This celebration doesn''t need to be publicized. Just a few of us from the Sect participating will suffice," said Jun Zhn, unlike Jun Xiaoyao''s formality, referring to the Sect Master as Grandfather in front of rtives.


    "Alright," Lin Yuan nodded. "But, eldest brother and second sister, I''ll go to the treasure trove first to pick a gift for Grandfather."


    Even with close rtives, one couldn''t go empty-handed.


    "Sure," agreed his elder siblings, watching Lin Yuan depart.


    While waiting, Jun Zhn couldn''t help but remark, "Younger brother has changed a lot over the years."


    "Practitioners of the Body Cultivation lineage need to endure tremendous pain to progress. How could younger brother remain the same as before when he has reached the Body Cultivation Golden Core stage?" Jun Xiaoyao felt it was only natural.


    Even he, faced with the pain of breaking through to the Golden Core stage of Body Cultivation, would feel his scalp tingle. Jun Wuji''s achievements now ced him above most other Golden Core cultivators in terms of mentality.


    As for why Jun Wuji had undergone such a significant transformation, Jun Xiaoyao wasn''t surprised. Twenty years ago, Jun Wuji had been struck and had left the Daoist Immortal Mountain toe to the Cloud Mist Blessed Land. Having been shamed, he bravely embarked on the arduous path of Body Cultivation, achieving some sess, which was not surprising.


    In the treasure trove of the Cloud Mist Blessed Land, Lin Yuan entered and casually picked a treasure. For the Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect, it didn''t matter what gift Lin Yuan brought; what mattered was the thought behind it.


    "Condense."


    Standing still, Lin Yuan concealed all his martial-rted breaths, hiding them deep within his body. This trip to the Daoist Immortal Sect required him to meet the Sect Master who had already entered the Void Cave Realm, so Lin Yuan naturally had to be fully prepared.


    "Almost there," Lin Yuan nodded slightly. At this point, his breath had beenpletely suppressed, and even the strength of his body temporarily dropped to the level of a Golden Core cultivator. Not even a cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm would be able to detect anything.


    The reason Lin Yuan could conceal his breath in this way was twofold. Firstly, Lin Yuan himself was also a Sixth Rank powerhouse, equivalent to the Void Refinement Stage. Secondly, Lin Yuan hailed from the main world and had seen various evolutionary paths. In terms of concealing breath alone,pared to the creatures of this world, he was akin to a heavyweight boxer facing a lightweight opponent.


    "I''ll leave the Yin Spirit behind."


    After some consideration, Lin Yuan''s mind flickered, and a phantom figure emerged from his body before disappearing into the treasure trove.


    While the breath of the Yin Spirit was almost nonexistent, carrying it around still posed a risk. Moreover, leaving the Yin Spirit in the Cloud Mist Blessed Land was also a contingency n for Lin Yuan. If something unexpected happened, with both Yin and Yang Spirits outside, Lin Yuan would have more means at his disposal and wouldn''t truly ''die''.


    With everything prepared, Lin Yuan approached his elder siblings with the gift in hand.


    "Let''s go," said Jun Zhn, extending her right hand. A piece of cloud-patterned treasure unfolded in the air, turning into hundreds of zhang of auspicious clouds.


    When Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhn came, they used light speed because it was the fastest. However, they naturally couldn''t use it on their return journey, especially with Lin Yuan by their side. Although a Golden Core cultivator had flying abilities, their speed was far inferior to these two experienced Nascent Soul cultivators.


    So Jun Zhn activated the treasure, carrying the three of them towards the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    "Come up," Jun Xiaoyao stepped onto the auspicious cloud treasure, and Lin Yuan followed suit.


    Half a dayter, the Daoist Immortal Sect appeared in Lin Yuan''s sight. Above the sea of clouds, immortal mountains stood tall like supporting pirs of the sky, majestic and grand.


    "Daoist Immortal Mountain," Lin Yuan gazed at the distant immortal mountains. The Daoist Immortal Sect was established atop Daoist Immortal Mountain, which was the convergence point of the most significant spiritual veins in the Central Divine Continent. It was also a highly coveted sacred ce for all cultivators.


    The Central Divine Continent boasted seventy-two blessed caves and one hundred and eight fairnds, among other sacred sites for cultivation. These ces were abundant in spiritual energy, offering incredible cultivation effects. However,pared to Daoist Immortal Mountain, even the sum of all these ces paled inparison.


    Swoosh. The auspicious cloud treasure flew to the front of the sect. An invisible ripple swept out, and an entrance appeared in the front formation. Dozens of sect disciples bowed in unison.


    "Greetings, Senior Uncle Xiaoyao."


    "Greetings, Fairy Zhn."


    Soon, the group arrived at the peak of the Daoist Immortal Sect''s main peak. There stood a grand hall, with dense spiritual energy turning into spiritual rain and falling down. This ce was entirely different from the outside world, resembling a true immortal realm.


    Lin Yuan followed Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhn into the grand hall. By now, several people were already seated inside.


    "Wee, Wuji." A beautiful female cultivator smiled at Lin Yuan. She was Mu Lian''er, Jun Wuji''s mother and the current Sect Master''s daughter. Sitting beside Mu Lian''er was Jun Dongjin, Jun Wuji''s father.


    Jun Dongjin possessed a variant Heavenly Spirit Root and was considered the most talented individual of their generation in the Daoist Immortal Sect. He had the potential to reach the Void Refinement Stage and was one of the leading candidates for future Sect Master.


    "Hahaha, this must be Wuji. Indeed, quite remarkable. Without a spiritual root, you chose the Body Cultivation path," a stately man strode over, nced at Lin Yuan, then turned to Jun Dongjin with a smile.


    This imposing man emitted an invisible pressure even while standing still.


    "Mengting."


    Lin Yuan recognized this imposing man. Mengting was an outstanding member of the Mu family, the family to which Mu Lian''er belonged. The Mu family was currently the family of the Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect, and Mu Lian''er herself hailed from this family.


    Mengting was also a Heavenly Spirit Root cultivator, though his aptitude was inferior to Jun Dongjin''s. However, due to his status in the Mu family, he was also considered one of the top candidates for future Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    Mengting and Jun Dongjin werepetitors. However, the position of Sect Master in the Daoist Immortal Sect was not determined by background but by whoever reached the Void Refinement Stage first.


    "Mengting, you tter him too much. Wuji is just fooling around. In the Body Cultivation path, the Golden Core stage is the limit," Jun Dongjin responded with a smile.


    "Hmph," Mengting snorted and didn''t say much more, returning to his seat.


    Lin Yuan sat next to Jun Dongjin. Just now, Mengting had subtly shown hostility towards him, and if Jun Dongjin hadn''t spoken up in time, Lin Yuan''s mentality might have been affected.


    "This old guy," Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.


    Twenty years ago, he was no different from a cripple. Mengting didn''t even bother to consider him, let alone target him.


    However, now Lin Yuan had made some achievements in the Body Cultivation path, although they were insignificant in his eyes. Still, they had earned him praise from the Sect Master, his grandfather.


    This made Mengting somewhat ufortable.


    In Mengting''s view, the position of Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect should belong to his Mu family. Yet, here came Jun Wuji, an outsider. Even though Jun Dongjin had married Mu Lian''er, he was still an outsider.


    How dare they aspire to the position of Sect Master?


    Just then, within the grand hall, the aura began to subtly change. Lin Yuan''s heart stirred as he looked towards the main seat, where a middle-aged man with a dignified posture sat. He hadn''t noticed when this man had appeared there.


    "Greetings, Sect Master," the others in the hall also sensed it and immediately rose, bowing to the man with the imposing aura.


    "Please, be seated," the middle-aged man with the imposing aura spoke slowly.


    "Yes," everyone sat down one after another.


    "Is that the Sect Master? In the Void Cave Realm?" Lin Yuan observed secretly. In terms of realm, Lin Yuan had just entered the Sixth Rank, equivalent to the ''Void Entry'' (Refinement) realm, which was inferior to this Sect Master.


    As everyone took their seats, female cultivators brought various spiritual fruits and ced them on the tables in front of each person. Those who could participate in the Sect Master''s Void Cave Hall were mostly high-ranking cultivators of the sect, with significant status and authority.


    "How is the situation on the side of the Abyssal Ghost Pce?" the Sect Master asked calmly, breaking the silence.


    The Daoist Immortal Sect upied the Central Divine Continent with absolute strength, dominating over the demonic, evil, and ghostly paths.


    However, thetter three were extremely tenacious and could recover from any setback they faced.


    So, in order to prevent these three paths from causing trouble, the Daoist Immortal Sect would send out disciples periodically to sweep through their territories.


    "Sect Master."


    "Those ghost cultivators have been frightened into submission by our sect. They dare not set foot in the Central Divine Continent anymore," a curly-haired old man with golden lion''s mane stood up proudly.


    The southern ghost cultivators were under his charge, and he hadpleted his mission satisfactorily, hence his confidence.


    "Well done," the Sect Master nodded slightly.


    "The Abyssal Ghost Pce... it''s of mysterious origin, and even I find it difficult to locate. We must proceed cautiously with the ghost cultivators," the Sect Master continued, addressing the issue of the Abyssal Ghost Pce.


    It wasn''t that the Daoist Immortal Sect didn''t want to eradicate the ghost cultivatorspletely; it was simply impossible. Whenever the Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect wielded the sect''s town-sealing immortal treasure and went south to sweep through their territories, all the ghost cultivators would retreat into the Abyssal Ghost Pce, a ce that even a formidable figure like a Void Refinement Ancient Sage couldn''t find if they were hidingpletely.


    So, the Daoist Immortal Sect could only suppress and restrict the growth of the ghost cultivators to prevent major problems from arising.


    "What about the Blood Demons in the north?" the Sect Master continued.


    "Sect Master, sixty percent of the Blood God Seeds controlled by the Blood Demon Lord have been destroyed. They dare not leave the Blood Demon Sea now," another person stood up and reported.


    "The Blood Demon Lord is fused with the Blood Demon Sea. Although he is nearly indestructible, he cannot leave the confines of the Blood Demon Sea," the Sect Master nodded.


    The Blood Demon Lord was a very special existence. Even the sessive Sect Masters of the Daoist Immortal Sect, wielding the town-sealing immortal treasure, couldn''tpletely kill him. As long as the Blood Demon Sea didn''t dry up, the Blood Demon Lord would remain alive.


    "And what about the Eastern Sea Inds?" the Sect Master inquired further.


    "Sect Master," at this point, Mengting stood up and spoke, "the Eastern Sea Inds are a chaotic mix of various forces, highly resistant to external influences."


    "However, over the years, I have painstakingly built up a faction there and taken control of the ck Veil Inds."


    "With me around, the Eastern Sea Inds will remain in perpetual chaos," Mengting said confidently.


    The Daoist Immortal Sect didn''t directly suppress the Eastern Sea Inds like they did with the demonic, evil, and ghostly paths. The situation in the Eastern Sea Inds was extremelyplex, with constant internal conflicts. The Daoist Immortal Sect only needed to ensure that no unified force emerged in the Eastern Sea Inds to maintain peace.


    Therefore, Mengting secretly established his own faction there. Whenever there were signs of unification in the Eastern Sea Inds, he would intervene to stop it.


    For Mengting, this faction was extremely important, as it provided him with various cultivation resources and support.


    "Well done," the Sect Master nodded again.


    "ck Veil Inds?" Lin Yuan, sitting beside Jun Dongjin, felt a slight movement in his heart.


    Since he nned to use the Eastern Sea Inds as the starting point for spreading the path of martial arts evolution, Lin Yuan naturally had a considerable amount of research on the inds. The location of the ck Veil Inds was also roughly known to him.


    However, Lin Yuan suddenly paused his thoughts.


    The distance between the Cloud Mist Sanctuary and the Eastern Sea was extremely far.


    However, his divine consciousness was not physical, and its flight speed was probably unmatched even by Void Refinement Ancient Sages.


    After half a month of flying, Lin Yuan''s divine consciousness finally arrived in the Eastern Sea region.


    In fact, the Daoist Immortal Sect had a special teleportation array that could instantly reach the Eastern Sea region. However, Lin Yuan''s divine consciousness intended to take a leisurely stroll along the way. After all, the spread of the path of martial arts evolution was a hundred-year n, so there was no rush for now.


    "ck Veil Inds?" Lin Yuan''s divine consciousness and his main body shared the same consciousness.


    Their memories were the same, and they could instantlymunicate their knowledge and feelings.


    So, when Lin Yuan heard that Mengting had established a faction on the ck Veil Inds in the Eastern Sea, his divine consciousness also instantly became aware of it.


    "That should be the ck Veil Inds."


    Lin Yuan''s divine consciousness changed direction and flew towards the ck Veil Inds.


    A momentter, the ck Veil Inds appeared before him.


    "Twelve Transformation Stage cultivators, fifty-six Nascent Soul cultivators cultivators," Lin Yuan''s divine consciousness clicked its tongue, then raised its right hand.


    At that moment, the sun hanging high in the sky seemed to dim down.


    The boundless power of the sun seemed to receive an order. Even though some of the sr power seemed reluctant, it obediently gathered towards Lin Yuan''s right hand. In the end, countless rays of sunlight converged on Lin Yuan''s right hand.


    For a moment, it seemed like there were two suns in the sky.


    Finally, Lin Yuan weighed the ''sun'' in his right hand and found it eptable. He then threw it towards the ck Veil Inds not far away.

    ...


    ck Veil Inds.


    Main Ind Conference Hall.


    Twelve Transformation Stage Celestial Lords and fifty-six Nascent Soul Stage True Monarchs gathered here.


    Even in the East Sea Inds where powers are mixed and vtile.


    Twelve Celestial Lords and fifty-six True Monarchs still constitute an undeniable force.


    Among the eight hundred Sects and three thousand Left Paths, they are easily in the top ten.


    What''s more important is that the influence of the ck Veil Inds haspletely merged into the East Sea Inds.Except for the top three Transformation Stage Celestial Lords, no one knows that the ck Veil Inds are secretly controlled and manipted by the Daoist Immortal Sect, Mu Mengting.


    Although the eight hundred Sects and three thousand Left Paths of the East Sea Inds are constantly in internal strife.


    They are extremely exclusive. If they discover infiltrators from the Daoist Immortal Sect on their territory, even if they dare not act against them, they will instinctively cease their internal strife and unite.


    This goes against the basic policy of the Daoist Immortal Sect towards the East Sea Inds.


    For the Daoist Immortal Sect, the chaotic internal strife of the eight hundred Sects and three thousand Left Paths of the East Sea Inds is the best situation, as for unity? What''s the difference between that and the demonic, ghostly, and devilish paths?


    Mu Mengting secretly controls the ck Veil Inds, disrupts the situation in the East Sea, and collects arge amount of resources and wealth, with great skill.


    Compared to the Daoist Immortal Sect''s suppression of the demonic path to the north, the devil path to the west, and the ghostly path to the south, the ck Veil Inds controlled by Mu Mengting are definitely a fat piece of meat.


    This is also why the Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect ''favors'' Mu Mengting.


    "In a while, I''ll go to the Central Divine Continent and hand over the harvest of the past hundred years."


    In the conference hall, a Transformation Stage Celestial Lord sitting on the main seat thought to himself.


    He looked at the many Nascent Soul Stage True Monarchs below, as well as the other Celestial Lords sitting on the left and right, about to speak.


    Just then.


    The face of this Transformation Stage Celestial Lord changed slightly.


    He suddenly felt the air around him heating up.


    "Not good."


    Over a dozen Transformation Stage Celestial Lords'' expressions changed drastically as they instinctively soared into the sky, the aura unique to Transformation Stage cultivators, overlooking the rise and fall of the world, erupting suddenly.


    However.


    The next moment.


    The faces of over a dozen Transformation Stage Celestial Lords showed a hint of despair.


    Because¡ª


    They saw a ''sun''.


    Descending towards the ck Veil Inds.


    Above the clouds.


    Lin Yuan retracted his right hand and nced at the ck Veil Inds below.


    At this moment, the ck Veil Inds had turned into a sea of fire, with True Monarchs and Celestial Lords bursting out one after another, only to quickly perish.


    "The secret technique of the Wan Yang Lineage indeed has terrifying killing power."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly as he saw this.


    The ''sun'' he had just released was a simplified version of the secret technique, ''Heavenly Sun of the Wan Yang''.


    Having fought with the Wan Yang Saint Son twice, Lin Yuan had long used his Unrivaled Insight to learn many of his unique techniques.


    If it were in the main world, Lin Yuan would naturally not casually use techniques rted to the Wan Yang Lineage.


    Because it is easy for other high-level Evolvers to recognize it, which could lead to ''copyright'' disputes.


    The human alliance in the main world has a sound legal system that protects many secret techniques and martial arts. If you are not a disciple of a certain lineage and have not purchased their secret techniques, but still use them, it is considered stealing.


    Regardless of which star domain or alliance, it is considered illegal.


    But there is no need to hide when traversing worlds.


    Especially now, Lin Yuan, as a Yang Spirit, doesn''t need to be so cautious.


    "ck Veil Inds."


    Lin Yuan lowered his head to look down, confirming that there were no survivors.


    The reason why he took action against the ck Veil Inds was mainly for himself and Jun Dongjin to vent their anger.


    Jun Dongjin''s father has a variant Heaven Spirit Root, and his talent ranks at the top among the young generation of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    But due to his status, he could only endure Mu Mengting''s provocations.


    Now that there is a chance for revenge, Lin Yuan naturally won''t let it pass.


    The other reason is to spread the path of martial arts evolution in the East Sea Inds, which will inevitablye into conflict with the ck Veil Inds in the future.


    Rather than being obstructed and harassed by the ck Veil Inds in the future, it''s better to take decisive action now and destroy the ck Veil Inds directly.


    "Hmm?"


    "Gather!"


    Lin Yuan looked down at the ck Veil Inds and took a deep breath.


    In an instant, arge amount of pure and extremely spiritual energy surged in.


    As the top power of the East Sea Inds, the ck Veil Inds naturally contained arge amount of treasures and resources.


    Especially for Mu Mengting, who collected many resources for him and had not yet handed them over, the treasures stored on the ind, as well as the storage rings of the Transformation Stage Celestial Lord, were all in his possession.


    Now that the ck Veil Inds have turned into a sea of fire, everything has been burned clean. Under the incineration of the true fire of the sun, those treasures and resources have turned into the purest spiritual energy.


    All of it was swallowed by Lin Yuan.


    "There''s quite a lot."


    Lin Yuan swallowed it all in one gulp, a smile appearing on his face.


    The spiritual energy he just swallowed is enough to push a Transformation Stage early Celestial Lord to the mid orte stage.


    Daoist Immortal Sect.


    Mu Mengting stood up and was about to report to the Sect Master of the Sect about the achievements of these years, how he had disrupted the situation in the East Sea with the ck Veil Inds under his control.


    Suddenly.


    Mu Mengting''s expression changed drastically.


    "How is this possible?!"


    Mu Mengting''s face was ugly.


    There was even a hint of panic.


    Because he sensed that the tokens of the Transformation Stage Celestial Lords and Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the ck Veil Inds had all shattered at the same time.


    What does this mean? It means that all Transformation Stage Celestial Lords and Nascent Soul True Monarchs have fallen.


    And the time of their fall was almost simultaneous.


    Furthermore.


    It also means that the ck Veil Inds he painstakingly built up no longer exist. If even the Transformation Stage Celestial Lords and Nascent Soul True Monarchs have fallen, what about the other cultivators?


    "What happened?"


    Seated at the main seat, the Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect spoke.


    "Sect Master."


    "The Transformation Stage and Nascent Soul cultivators of the ck Veil Inds, all fell just now."


    Mu Mengting dared not hide anything and immediately spoke up.


    "What?!"


    The Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect''s gaze turned cold.


    "Outrageous!"


    The Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect suddenly stood up.


    At the same time.


    Above the head of the Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    A ''mirror'' emitting boundless light and boundless cmity appeared.


    Buzz!!! A beam of light, as if piercing through time and space, shot out from the highest point of the Daoist Immortal Sect, and in just a few moments, it descended in front of the ck Veil Inds in the East Sea.


    "Hmm?"


    Above the clouds, Lin Yuan, who was ''savoring'' something, had a slight change in expression and looked up at the terrifying ''mirror light''ing from the direction of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    His figure disappeared silently.


    The next moment.


    The mirror light descended.


    Turning into a phantom.


    Upon closer inspection, it was the appearance of the Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    The phantom looked down at the ck Veil Inds, which had already turned into a sea of fire, swept the surroundings with cold eyes, snorted coldly, and then disappeared.


    Tens of thousands of miles away.


    Lin Yuan''s Yang Spirit appeared.


    "So that''s the Daoist Immortal Sect''s town-protecting immortal treasure, the Taihao Immortal Mirror?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression was slightly solemn, thinking to himself.


    With his Yang Spirit, it took him half a month to fly from the Cloud Mist Blessed Land to the East Sea.


    But for the Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect to descend upon the East Sea using the Taihao Immortal Mirror, it only took a few moments? Is the Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect too powerful? Certainly not.


    The Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect is only at the Void Refinement Stage, equivalent to the sixth rank of the main world, from the fourth to ninth stage.


    It''s impossible to have such terrifying speed.


    All of this is because of the Daoist Immortal Sect''s town-protecting immortal treasure.


    The Taihao Immortal Mirror.


    This immortal treasure''s power is limitless, and its mirror light can illuminate any corner of the Central Divine Continent.


    "No wonder twelve thousand years ago, when the Lord of Blood Demons in the north, the King of Ghost Cultivators in the south, and the Savage Demon Saints in the east gathered the strength of three Void Refinement Stage Ancient Saints, they wanted to start a decisive battle, but were still crushed and suppressed by the Daoist Immortal Sect."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts churned.


    "However, the one who just descended shouldn''t be the true body of the Sect Master, but a manifestation of the immortal mirror, and to cross such a long distance and descend, it''s also a considerable consumption."


    Lin Yuan analyzed in his mind.


    Daoist Immortal Sect.


    Inside the great hall.


    The Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect, who had stood up, saw the immortal mirror above his head slowly disappearing.


    The Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect also sat down again.


    "Sect Master?"


    Mu Mengting couldn''t help but ask.


    At this moment, he was exceptionally distressed. The ck Veil Inds were the result of his many years of effort.


    Those dozen or so Transformation Stage Celestial Lords and dozens of Nascent Soul True Monarchs were not only cultivated under hismand for many years and had nothing to do with the Daoist Immortal Sect, but their usefulness in the East Sea Inds was irreceable.


    The Daoist Immortal Sect didn''t care about the East Sea Inds because of theirck of resources and didn''t see the need to upy them.


    But in terms of individual cultivators, if one could control even a small part of the East Sea Inds, the benefits would be considerable.


    This was something Mu Mengting had realized in recent years.


    But now.


    Everything was gone.


    They didn''t know how much effort they had put in to barely cultivate over a dozen Transformation Stage Celestial Lords, only to see them all wiped out in an instant.


    "He got away."


    The Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect shook his head slightly.


    As soon as this was said.


    Everyone present showed shock.


    Even Mu Mengting, who was exceptionally distressed, had his pupils shrink.


    The Sect Master''s activation of the town-protecting immortal treasure, the Taihao Immortal Mirror, with its boundless and unmatched power, actually let the person who destroyed the ck Veil Inds escape?


    "Look."


    The Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect''s mind moved slightly.


    Illusory scenes appeared on the hall.


    Although he didn''t catch the culprit just now, based on the remaining aura on the scene, he ''retraced'' part of the scene.


    Everyone in the hall looked at the scenes on the screen.


    The ck Veil Inds, with the sea undting.


    The ck Veil Inds in the picture were very calm.


    At this moment, on the clouds, a figure appeared out of nowhere.


    The figure was hazy and indistinct, making it impossible to discern its specific form and appearance. It silently looked down at the ck Veil Inds below.


    Under everyone''s gaze.


    The hazy figure above the clouds slowly extended its right hand.


    In an instant, the scene began to distort, and an endless amount of fire elemental power continuously converged on the hazy figure''s right hand, forming a mass of small sunsposed of numerous mes of real sunfire.


    The brilliance and heat of the small suns were almost on par with the sun in the sky.


    What happened next sent chills down everyone''s spines.


    The person above the clouds, with just a light toss, threw the "small sun" in his hand towards the ck Veil Inds.


    The scene ended.


    "What terrifying fire elemental techniques."


    A golden-haired old man couldn''t help but exim.


    To condense such a huge amount of sunfire in just a breath''s time, it wasn''t only due to the level of strength but also the terrifying control over the power of the sun itself.


    "When did such a powerful individual appear in the East Sea?"


    The Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect frowned.


    Based on the strength disyed by the hazy figure, it had already reached the pinnacle of the Transformation Stage, and even started to approach the level of the Ancient Saints of Void Refinement.


    "Keep an eye on this person."


    The Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect said.


    "Yes."


    Everyone below responded in unison.


    "Xiaoyao Zhn, you two stay in the sect recently and don''t go out."


    Mu Lian''er nced at Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhn, transmitting her voice: "If you encounter this person, don''t try to resist, just use life-saving means to escape."


    After instructing Mu Lian''er, she looked at Lin Yuan, who was sitting next to her and looked extremely obedient.


    "You two, learn more from Wuji, don''t always think about going out. It''s dangerous outside, isn''t Wuji good? He stays in the Cloud Mist Blessed Land all day, never going anywhere."


    Mu Lian''er looked gratifiedly at her youngest son.


    Although Jun Wuji had no spiritual roots, he was much steadier, at least not causing her any worries or anything like that.


    Half a dayter.


    The Grand Ceremony of Void Refinement ended.


    Under the send-off of Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhn.


    Lin Yuan returned to the Cloud Mist Blessed Land.


    "We''re going back first, little brother."


    Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhn bid farewell and left in a hurry.


    Obviously, a mysterious expert skilled in fire elemental techniques appeared in the East Sea, attracting the attention of the Daoist Immortal Sect. They needed to go back and discuss how to deal with this expert.


    The Daoist Immortal Sect was extremely domineering in its actions and absolutely wouldn''t allow powerful individuals beyond its control to appear.


    One monthter.


    News came from the East Sea.


    The White Jade Ind is about to appear.


    White Jade Ind is a very special ind, equivalent to a blessednd in the East Sea, filled with rich spiritual energy, belonging to a sacred ce for cultivation.


    However, White Jade Ind is not fixed in ce. It sinks into the depths of the sea every two thousand years.


    The depths of the sea are extremely dangerous, where ancient monstrous beasts from tens of thousands of years ago lurk.


    So every time White Jade Ind sinks, the cultivators on the ind can only leave, and even the Transformation Stage Celestial Lords dare not sink with White Jade Ind.


    In the depths of the sea, there is a terrifying pressure, and even Transformation Stage Celestial Lords will be restricted in strength. Coupled with those unfathomable ancient monstrous beasts...


    Even Transformation Stage Celestial Lords would feel scalp tingling.


    And it has been two thousand years since White Jade Indst sank into the depths of the sea. Calcting the time, White Jade Ind is about to resurface soon.


    At that time, White Jade Ind will bring with it umted spiritual energy from two thousand years, returning to the East Sea.


    You know, the East Sea itself has a low concentration of spiritual energy, with only a few dozen suitable ces for cultivation, most of which are upied by various factions.


    Now that White Jade Ind is about to appear, countless East Sea cultivators are gearing up to upy a cultivation cave on White Jade Ind.


    Cloud Mist Blessed Land.


    In the cultivation chamber.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, and the aura within his body was slowly undergoing changes, seeming to be evolving little by little.


    Finally.


    As if reaching a certain limit.


    Lin Yuan''s entire aura suddenly soared, then quickly converged.


    "Sixth Rank."


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.


    ...

    Chapter 157


    Help me buy a newputer :D /DavidLord


    ...


    "Fully restored my strength."


    Lin Yuan''s smile receded, his eyes calm.


    The sixth rank, equivalent to the Void Refinement Stage in this realm.


    He could almost be considered the strongest in the current era, even against the Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect holding the Town-Protector Immortal Mirror.


    It was difficult topletely kill a Void Refinement Stage Cultivator, even for him. At most, he could only restrain or suppress them. The methods of these Cultivators were already beyondprehension.


    "From the first to the sixth rank, it''s nothing to me, just revisiting the path. The focus lies in the cultivation journey of the sixth rank ahead."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.To establish the sixth rank section of the martial path, even with the Unrivaled Insight, was not an overnight task. It required continuous experimentation from various directions to find the most suitable one.


    During this journey, Lin Yuan had two goals in mind.


    Firstly, to establish as much as possible the sixth rank section of the martial path of evolution.


    At least, to cultivate to the utmost level of the sixth rank.


    With five hundred years of residence, Lin Yuan didn''t see any issues.


    Secondly, to propagate the martial path of evolution system, to firmly establish his own path in this world.


    Facilitating the future ''ultimate leap''.


    "The cultivation system of this realm''s Immortal Dao can be used for reference."


    Lin Yuan pondered in his heart. The martial path of evolution he established was nourished by many other evolutionary paths.


    Now, borrowing from the cultivation system of the Immortal Dao was naturally within his grasp.


    Of course, Lin Yuan was also aware of the importance of bnce. His borrowing from the Immortal Dao''s cultivation system was just that - borrowing. Regardless of how many cultivation systems and evolutionary paths he borrowed from, the martial cultivation system still had its core. There was a distinction between primary and secondary, otherwise, could it still be called the martial path of evolution in the future?


    The martial path of evolution was created by Lin Yuan with great effort and contained his strong personal life imprint.


    It was like a towering tree; you could trim its branches and leaves, but the trunk and roots were untouchable.


    "Next, I can allocate some energy to elevate my body cultivation realm to the Void Refinement level."


    Lin Yuan made a decision in his heart.


    Body cultivation was an extension of the Immortal Dao''s cultivation system but was morepatible with the martial path of evolution.


    Both focused on exploring the physical body.


    Of course, in the millions of years of the Central Divine Continent, there had never been a body cultivator at the Void Refinement level.


    But Lin Yuan was different. He believed he could aplish what countless geniuses of this realm couldn''t.


    Moreover, Lin Yuan had already restored his strength to the sixth rank in martial cultivation. With his unparalleled physique, the cultivation of body techniques would undoubtedly progress rapidly.


    Coupled with the control of Unrivaled Insight, paving the way forward, bing an unprecedented body cultivator at the Void Refinement level should only be a matter of time.


    The reason for focusing on body cultivation was that, through deduction, Lin Yuan believed that body cultivation at the Void Refinement level would inevitably give birth to divine abilities of the physical body.


    Lin Yuan was quite curious about such means that could greatly enhance one''s abilities.


    Moreover, it was like sharpening a knife before cutting wood. Understanding body cultivation techniques would also greatly benefit Lin Yuan''s own martial path of evolution.


    While Lin Yuan was secluded in the Cloud Mist Blessed Land, contemting his cultivation...


    In the Eastern Sea Inds, a storm was brewing.


    There were two main events. Firstly, the imminent emergence of the White Jade Ind.


    After two thousand years of gestation in the depths of the sea, the emergence of the White Jade Ind would not only bring about a cultivation paradiseparable to the paradises of the Central Divine Continent.


    The spirit medicine and immortal roots grown on the ind had also fully matured.


    The sinking and rising of White Jade Ind over two thousand years had formed a pattern. Therefore, when White Jade Ind sank two thousand years ago, many cultivators had already nted spirit medicine and immortal roots on the ind in advance.


    After two thousand years of growth, most of them had matured, thriving undisturbed at the bottom of the deep sea.


    So¡ª


    For cultivators of the Eastern Sea, whether from the eight hundred side gates (sects), the three thousand left paths, or other wandering cultivators, White Jade Ind represented a great opportunity.


    There wasn''t a single person who wasn''t paying attention.


    Even the Blood Demon Lord in the north and the Ghost King of the south had their eyes set on White Jade Ind.


    Apart from the imminent emergence of White Jade Ind, the other event that garnered the highest discussion among the Eastern Sea Ind cultivators was the destruction of the ck Veil Inds.


    This event had two aspects.


    Firstly, the mysterious expert who used fire-based Dao techniques to burn the ck Veil Inds to nothingness.


    The outside world almost unanimously believed that this mysterious expert was just a hair''s breadth away from the level of Void Refinement Stage, or perhaps had already reached an infinite proximity to that level.


    Otherwise, how could they possess such transcendent means, causing over a dozen Celestial Lords and tens of True Monarchs of ck Veil Inds to perish without even resisting, directly vanishing without a trace?


    On the other hand, it was a mysterious figure, who after incinerating the ck Veil Inds, witnessed the majestic light of the Town-Protector Immortal Artifact from the Daoist Immortal Sect of the Central Divine Continent, descending upon the ck Veil Inds.


    The Taihao Mirror was the only immortal artifact in this realm, its light representing boundless epochs and immeasurable power. It was difficult to conceal the movement from the Immortal Sect to the Eastern Sea.


    As soon as the mysterious figure destroyed the ck Veil Inds, the majestic light from the Daoist Immortal Sect arrived. It was hard not to link the two.


    "What is the origin of that mysterious figure?"


    "No matter where theye from, they must have a poor rtionship with the Daoist Immortal Sect."


    "Indeed, otherwise the Daoist Immortal Sect wouldn''t resort to using the Town-Protector Immortal Artifact. Even for Void Refinement Stage Cultivators, it''s a significant depletion."


    "Such a formidable figure, about to reach the level of Void Refinement Stage, shouldn''t just appear out of thin air, right? Could it be someone nurtured by the Ghost King in the south?"


    "The Ghost King? The Ghost King is powerful, a Void Refinement Stage Cultivator, but nurturing someone to master the ultimate Yang, wielding the True Sun Fire, that''s quite a challenge."


    "True, the mysterious figure specializes in True Sun Fire, the nemesis of Ghost Cultivators and Blood Demons. It''s unlikely they''re from the south or the north."


    "Could it be the work of the Savage Wilderness Demon Saints in the west? But it doesn''t seem likely. Besides, the demonic path in the west is separated from the Eastern Sea by the Daoist Immortal Sect. It''s hard to cross, let alone what would they want aftering here?"


    Numerous cultivators in the Eastern Sea were discussing heatedly.


    Continuously discussing the origin of that mysterious figure.


    After all, in the Eastern Sea Inds, although there was a mix of all kinds, someone so close to the level of Void Refinement Stage Cultivator was extremely rare. Each additional figure like this could influence the current situation in the Eastern Sea Inds.


    Blood Demon Sea.


    The sea water was as red as blood.


    In the depths of the Blood Demon Sea, on a small ind, a man dressed in a blood-red robe sat cross-legged.


    In front of him, there were illusory images suspended, depicting the recent scene where Lin Yuan''s divine spirit destroyed the ck Veil Inds.


    "True Sun Fire?"


    "How long has it been since a Celestial Lord who mastered True Sun Fire has appeared?"


    A faint smile appeared on the man''s lips as he pondered.


    The True Sun Fire was the most masculine and fierce fire in the world, capable of burning everything to ashes.


    "It seems he''s not from the Daoist Immortal Sect."


    The man in the blood-red robe pondered. Then he spoke, "You there."


    "Master."


    The blood sea around him rolled, forming a figure that bowed respectfully to the man in the blood-red robe.


    "Go and find out about this person for me. Don''t offend him. The enemies of the Immortal Sect are our friends. Understand?"


    The man in the blood-red robe said lightly.


    Yin and Yang Ghost Pce.


    On a dark and obscure throne, sat a man with a thin face.


    "This level of True Sun Fire..."


    The thin-faced man frowned slightly.


    As a Ghost Cultivator, even though he had reached the Void Refinement Stage, there was still an instinctual aversion to the True Sun Fire.


    But the thin-faced man also knew that this mysterious figure who mastered True Sun Fire should have a grudge against the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    In that case.


    Regardless of what powers they possessed.


    They were allies of the Yin and Yang Ghost Pce.


    "Xiao Liu."


    The thin-faced man spoke.


    A gentle and weak woman appeared.


    If one observed carefully, they would notice that this seemingly weak woman''s figure was somewhat transparent, indicating she was a Ghost Cultivator.


    "Go to the Eastern Sea."


    "As much as possible, gather information about this person."


    After the thin-faced man finished speaking, he added, "Remember, he may be our ally. Don''t act recklessly."


    Time passed.


    Five years had passed in the blink of an eye.


    Cloud Mist Blessed Land.


    In a secluded cultivation chamber.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged alone, his blood flowing like rivers and the hot blood, raising the temperature of the entire chamber, distorting the air.


    "I''ve reached the peak of body cultivation and almost ready to attempt a breakthrough to the Void Refinement stage."


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes, calming his blood.


    "Now, I faintly sense that some power is awakening deep within my bloodline. Is that the divine ability of the physical body?"


    An expression of anticipation appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    The divine ability of the physical body varied from person to person,ing from the hidden power within the bloodline.


    Before the divine ability of the physical bodypletely awakened, no one knew what kind of divine ability they would possess.


    Of course, regardless of the type of divine ability of the physical body, it was of great use to cultivators, as it was a power independent of the Immortal Dao system.


    "Take it slow."


    "I''m not in a hurry."


    Lin Yuan ceased his cultivation.


    In these five years, apart from advancing from the early stage of Divine Transformation to the peak, he had also progressed from the first stage of the sixth rank to the third stage of the sixth rank in the martial cultivation system.


    ording to this realm''s cultivation system, Lin Yuan was now at the pinnacle of the Divine Transformation stage. (Body Cultivation Realm)


    "Let''s see... it should be time for White Jade Ind to emerge."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts stirred as he gazed towards the direction of the Eastern Sea.


    Rumors had circted five to six years ago about the imminent emergence of White Jade Ind. However, the actual process from its emergence to itsplete appearance would take some time.


    After all, rising from the depths of the sea to the surface was not an instantaneous process.


    But even if it were slow, it was probably floating up by now.


    "Perfect. If I want to propagate the martial path and establish influence, I need territory."


    "The Daoist Immortal Sect has Mount Daoist Immortal, the Blood Demon Lord controls the north, the Ghost King dominates the south, and the Savage Wilderness Demon Saints hold the west. So, I''ll start with White Jade Ind for my martial path."


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    First, he would take control of White Jade Ind, then recruit disciples and cultivate the martial path. ording to Lin Yuan''s n, within two hundred years, he would dominate the Eastern Sea Inds, and within three hundred years, the martial path would stand alongside the other paths like the demonic, ghostly, and beast/evil paths, as well as the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    As for how far the martial path would ultimately go, it depended on Lin Yuan''s cultivation level.


    Eastern Sea Inds.


    Lin Yuan stood tall in the clouds.


    "White Jade Ind."


    Lin Yuan looked into the distance where the spiritual energy surged, resembling the origin of the spiritual energy in the Eastern Sea, continuously spraying vast spiritual energy in all directions.


    It was a sign that White Jade Ind was about to emergepletely.


    "Let''s go."


    Lin Yuan vanished.


    Deep in the Eastern Sea.


    Vast spiritual energy pressure enveloped the surroundings.


    A massive ind slowly rose from below the sea surface.


    It was said to be an "ind," but in reality, the area of this ind was several timesrger than Cann Star, yetpared to the vast ocean and Central Divine Continent, it was indeed just an "ind."


    "White Jade Ind has emerged."


    "Hurry, or else we''ll miss out on opportunities."


    "Yes, let''s move quickly."


    Tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of Eastern Sea cultivators had long been waiting. The moment White Jade Ind appeared, they would rush over.


    However, at this moment...


    Layers of celestial might shrouded the area.


    Dozens of Divine Transformation Stage Celestial Lords stood proudly in the sky.


    "It''s the Celestial Lords."


    "Damn it, the Celestial Lords from the eight hundred side gates and three thousand left paths have actually joined forces. They want to seize White Jade Ind."


    "This is infuriating. Why don''t we have a Celestial Lord backing us?"


    Countless Eastern Sea rogue cultivators were both angry and helpless.


    In the Eastern Sea Inds, strength was paramount.


    This was the rule, the ironw.


    "Fellow cultivators."


    "We won''t let anyone leave empty-handed."


    "The peripheral areas of White Jade Ind will be open to everyer."


    Under the sky, a female Celestial Lord spoke, her voice resounding in the ears of every cultivator.


    "Peripheral areas?"


    "That''s fine. Although the spiritual energy there is not as abundant as in the inner regions of White Jade Ind, it''s still better than outside."


    "We''re weak, after all."


    Many Eastern Sea rogue cultivators felt relieved.


    At least this time, their trip wouldn''t be in vain.


    Above White Jade Ind.


    Under the sky.


    Dozens of Divine Transformation Stage Celestial Lords confronted each other.


    "This time, as White Bone Sect, we''ll take fifty percent of the core area."


    A Celestial Lord, whose body resembled white bones, spoke slowly.


    This Celestial Lord was known as White Bone Celestial Lord and was the leader of White Bone Sect among the eight hundred side gates.


    "The core area''s fifty percent? White Bone Celestial Lord, are you out of your mind?"


    Another Celestial Lord, exuding a gloomy aura, furrowed his brows.


    He was Yin Mountain Celestial Lord, the leader of Yin Mountain Sect among the eight hundred side gates.


    Although Yin Mountain Celestial Lord''s strength was not as great as White Bone Celestial Lord''s, he had dozens of Celestial Lords on his side. No matter how strong White Bone Celestial Lord was, he wouldn''t dare to oppose everyone, would he?


    "That''s right."


    "White Bone, you''re too greedy."


    "The most you can have is one-tenth of the core area."


    The first one to speak was the female Celestial Lord, known as Divination Celestial Lord, the leader of Divination Gate among the eight hundred side gates.


    "Ha ha ha ha ha ha."


    "I have reached the pinnacle of Divine Transformation, only a step away from breaking through to the Ancient Saint Realm." (Another way to say Void Refinement Realm)


    "Even if I say I want fifty percent of the core area, what can you do to me?"


    White Bone Celestial Lord sneered, and an almost perfected Divine Transformation aura began to permeate.


    The dozens of Celestial Lords present all felt a slight pressure.


    Although they were all Divine Transformation Stage Celestial Lords, most of them were in the early stage, with only a few reaching the middle stage, and there were hardly any in theter stage.


    As for White Bone Celestial Lord, he had reached the peak of the Divine Transformation stage, a level that none of them had achieved.


    "Eastern Sea Inds, strength is paramount. Since I am the strongest, I naturally deserve the best resources. What objections do you have?"


    White Bone Celestial Lord''s tone was extremely domineering as he looked at the other Celestial Lords.


    "Strongest?"


    "White Bone Celestial Lord, you are not the strongest in the Eastern Sea. Have you forgotten about the mysterious powerhouse who incinerated the ck Veil Inds several years ago?"


    A Celestial Lord expressed disbelief.


    "That person..."


    White Bone Celestial Lord remained proud, "With my strength, even if that mysterious powerhouse appears, what can he do?"


    White Bone Celestial Lord exuded confidence.


    ording to the residual aura left behind by the ck Veil Inds, the outside world judged that the mysterious powerhouse was at the peak of the Divine Transformation stage, definitely not reaching the realm of the Ancient Saint.


    Given this, White Bone Celestial Lord was fearless.


    You are at the peak of Divine Transformation.


    So am I.


    Who''s afraid of whom?


    Even if I can''t beat you,


    You won''t win against me either.


    "Alright."


    "Does anyone else have any objections?"


    White Bone Celestial Lord didn''t want to waste time.


    He was already nning to descend and enjoy the rich spiritual energy of White Jade Ind.


    The Divine Transformation Celestial Lords around looked at each other and ultimately did not have the courage to oppose White Bone Celestial Lord.


    After all, he was a powerhouse at the peak of Divine Transformation.


    "Hmph."


    White Bone Celestial Lord nced at everyone and snorted coldly, about to enter White Jade Ind.


    At that moment, a figure slowly flew out from below White Jade Ind.


    "Someone went into White Jade Ind first?"


    The Celestial Lords on the scene were a bit confused.


    They had been guarding outside White Jade Ind all along.


    How could someone enter right under their noses?


    Yin Mountain Celestial Lord sensed the aura of the neer and his expression changed suddenly.


    "It''s that mysterious powerhouse."


    "Yes, the aura is unmistakable."


    Many Celestial Lords were on guard. As the figure emerged from White Jade Ind, there was sr power circting around it.


    Observing this figure was like staring directly at the sun overhead.


    "Mysterious powerhouse?"


    White Bone Celestial Lord''s expression turned solemn.


    Although he had considered that one day he would confront this fellow Divine Transformation powerhouse, he hadn''t expected it to be so soon.


    Under the gaze of dozens of Divine Transformation Celestial Lords, Lin Yuan ascended into the sky, reaching the same height as them.


    White Bone Celestial Lord''s expression changed, finally suppressing the urge to take action.


    Before understanding the purpose of this mysterious powerhouse, it was better to seek peace.


    Seeing that White Bone Celestial Lord restrained himself, the other Celestial Lords naturally dared not act either.


    Lin Yuan looked at the many Divine Transformation Celestial Lords, appearing calm.


    "The eight hundred side gates, the three thousand left paths, I am the owner of White Jade Ind."


    Lin Yuan smiled faintly and said softly, "Yes or no?"


    His voice was not loud, but it reached the ears of every Celestial Lord, and even the many Eastern Sea rogue cultivators watching from below heard these two sentences.


    Dozens of Celestial Lords looked at each other, silent. Although they didn''t speak, their gazes shifted towards White Bone Celestial Lord.


    White Bone Celestial Lord wanted fifty percent of the core area of White Jade Ind.


    This mysterious powerhouse was bold, directly intending to take over the entire White Jade Ind.


    White Bone Celestial Lord looked at Lin Yuan, his face showing signs of anger. What audacity! Did this mysterious powerhouse think White Bone Celestial Lord was just an ordinary Divine Transformation Celestial Lord?


    Did he ever ask White Bone Celestial Lord if he agreed to him bing the owner of White Jade Ind?


    Seeing no response from anyone, Lin Yuan''s gaze swept over them again, and his expression gradually turned cold.


    "Whether you agree or not is not important!"


    Boom! As soon as these words were uttered, it was as if an imperial decree had been issued.


    White Bone Celestial Lord''s expression changed drastically, and the other Celestial Lords around him also showed fear.


    "We have seen the owner of White Jade Ind."


    White Bone Celestial Lord immediately bowed deeply towards Lin Yuan.


    The other dozens of Celestial Lords did the same, all bowing deeply towards Lin Yuan.


    "We have seen the owner of White Jade Ind."

    ...


    On the sky above White Jade Ind.


    Lin Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, his face calm.


    Dozens of Transformation Stage Celestial Lords, led by the White Bone Celestial Lord, all bowed respectfully.


    "Rise."


    Lin Yuan was in a good mood.


    Just now, he had taken a stroll inside White Jade Ind and found the environment quite suitable for spreading martial arts, making it an excellent starting point.


    Considering White Jade Ind as the birthce of martial arts was, at least in the initial stages, the best choice."Yes."


    The Transformation Stage Celestial Lords, including the White Bone Celestial Lord, breathed a collective sigh of relief.


    Compared to Lin Yuan''s good mood, the shock in the hearts of these Transformation Stage Celestial Lords could only be described as earth-shattering.


    Especially the White Bone Celestial Lord, who was leading them, was even more internally tumultuous.


    Just as Lin Yuan uttered the words ''Whether you agree or not...'', the White Bone Celestial Lord was already preparing to take action.


    What a joke! White Jade Ind was a rare opportunity in the East Sea for thousands of years. Why should Lin Yuan, with just a sentence dering himself the Lord of White Jade Ind, im this precious ind?


    But before the White Bone Celestial Lord could act, he felt a pressure like an ocean engulfing him.


    In that instant, the White Bone Celestial Lord felt as if he had returned to his Foundation Establishment stage, witnessing two Nascent Soul stage fighting.


    The overwhelming pressure made the White Bone Celestial Lord tremble, and without hesitation, he chose to acknowledge Lin Yuan as the Lord of White Jade Ind.


    Because the White Bone Celestial Lord realized that if he didn''t, the consequences would be dire.


    He might even face death.


    Compared to his own life, what was White Jade Ind?


    The White Bone Celestial Lord nced at the other Transformation Stage Celestial Lords whose faces had turned pale, realizing they probably faced the same fate.


    "This mysterious powerhouse is not just at the Transformation Stagepeak; he has at least touched the threshold of Void Refinement or perhaps even reached the level of a Half-Step Void Refinement Ancient Saint."


    The White Bone Celestial Lord felt helpless.


    Advancing from Transformation Stage to Void Refinement stage required traversing many major stages.


    Reaching Transformation Stage peak only meant reaching the pinnacle of Transformation Stage.


    As for reaching the Void Refinement realm, it was still a distant goal.


    This was also why the Void Refinement Ancient Saints in this realm were so rare.


    Specifically speaking, after reaching Transformation Stage peak, there were still three or four stages to go through.


    These stages included touching the threshold of Void Refinement, stepping halfway into Void Refinement, stepping into Void Refinement, and stepping fully into Void Refinement, and so on.


    In the main world, advancing from the fifth rank to the sixth rankrequired a simr process of soul integration and transformation.


    Each step of transformation would lead to a corresponding increase in strength.


    When Lin Yuan''s soul integration reached one hundred percent, his strength had reached the threshold of the sixth rank.


    Of course, this kind of exnation was meaningless for most cultivators.


    To True Immortals in the Nascent Soul stage, reaching Transformation Stage peak and stepping halfway into Void Refinement were almost the same.


    And now, for the White Bone Celestial Lord who keenly felt the pressure emanating from Lin Yuan, he believed Lin Yuan had at least reached the level of a Half-Step Void Refinement Ancient Saint.


    Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to give off such an irresistible feeling with just his aura.


    "Those who came here should leave."


    Lin Yuan nced at the dozens of Transformation Stage Celestial Lords who were trembling, unsure whether to stay or leave, and said lightly.


    "Well then, Lord of White Jade Ind, we will take our leave."


    The dozens of Transformation Stage Celestial Lords departed like rats fleeing from a cat, as if they had received a royal pardon.


    Lin Yuan watched as the many Transformation Stage Celestial Lords left.


    He didn''t make a move.


    With his strength, he could have easily kept all these Transformation Stage Celestial Lords here.


    But it would be meaningless.


    The East Sea was vast. Although the cultivation environment was not as good as the Central Continent, the area wasparable.


    If Lin Yuan were to kill all the Transformation Stage Celestial Lords, the entire archipgo of the East Sea would undoubtedly fall into even greater chaos.


    It would also attract the attention of the Daoist Immortal Sect, and perhaps even the Blood Demon Sea and the Ghostly Pce would take the opportunity to extend their influence into the East Sea.


    For Lin Yuan, these Transformation Stage Celestial Lords in the East Sea would not affect him if they were alive, but their deaths would only lead to more chaos. That''s why he didn''t have the intention to kill them.


    Above the sea surface.


    Countless East Sea scattered cultivators watched as the dozens of Celestial Lords, who had seemed like gods, left, discussing how to divide White Jade Ind.


    Then, a figure walked out of White Jade Ind, spoke a few words, and imed to be the Lord of White Jade Ind.


    Even more unbelievably, the White Bone Celestial Lord and other Celestial Lords didn''t object at all and bowed directly.


    This was simply unbelievable.


    And now, those Transformation Stage Celestial Lords, led by the White Bone Celestial Lord, left White Jade Ind without hesitation, as if White Jade Ind was no longer a desirable ce but a nightmare.


    "What happened exactly?"


    "Why did the Celestial Lords leave?"


    "Who is the person who walked out of White Jade Ind iming to be the Lord? Can he just call himself the Lord of White Jade Ind?"


    Countless East Sea scattered cultivators whispered, finding the scene too incredible. The Transformation Stage Celestial Lords, who were like gods, were unexpectedly ''kind''?


    "I remember now, this person should be the mysterious powerhouse who destroyed the ck Veil Archipgo several years ago. I once went to the ck Veil Archipgo, and I still can''t forget the extremely yang aura of his Sun True Fire."


    "So it''s that powerhouse."


    "It doesn''t make sense. Didn''t that powerhouse im to be only at the Transformation Stage peak? Why can he make the White Bone Celestial Lord and other Celestial Lords retreat?"


    "It''s simple. In the East Sea archipgo, strength is respected."


    "As Transformation Stage peak cultivator, the White Bone Celestial Lord dared to im fifty percent of the core area of White Jade Ind."


    "But this powerhouse directly imed the entire White Jade Ind for himself, which only shows that his strength far surpasses Transformation Stage peak."


    The scattered cultivators of the East Sea spected, unraveling much of the situation.


    Actually, it''s not difficult to think about it. Whether in the East Sea or the Central Continent, strength determines everything.


    The retreat of the Transformation Stage Celestial Lords like the White Bone Celestial Lord might seem unimaginable, but upon careful consideration, the reasons be clear.


    Under the sky.


    Lin Yuan''s gaze fell upon the countless scattered cultivators of the East Sea below.


    "I am Yuan Yang, the Lord of White Jade Ind. Today, I establish the White Jade Pavilion and ept disciples. Anyone who passes the test and joins the White Jade Pavilion will be eligible to enter the internal core area of White Jade Ind for cultivation."


    Lin Yuan spoke with a gentle voice, yet it echoed in the ears of every cultivator.


    Yuan Yang was the name Lin Yuan chose for this Yang Spirit incarnation, and the White JadePavilion was the force he intended to establish to spread martial arts and paths of evolution.


    After saying this, Lin Yuan disappeared from above White Jade Ind.


    And below, the countless East Sea cultivators were in an uproar.


    "Yuan Yang, so this mysterious powerhouse is called Yuan Yang?"


    "Did you hear that? As long as you pass the test and join the White Jade Pavilion, you can enter the internal area of White Jade Ind for cultivation."


    "I want to apply to join the White JadePavilion. It''s good to take shelter under a big tree. With Yuan Yang as the Lord, following him should be the right choice."


    Many cultivators were quite excited.


    Of course, everyone also understood that since Yuan Yang mentioned ''passing the test,'' it meant that not everyone could join the White JadePavilion.


    But regardless, it wouldn''t hurt to try, and there was nothing to lose.


    Lin Yuan''s upation of White Jade Ind and the establishment of the White JadePavilion, as well as the recruitment of disciples, not only caused a sensation in the East Sea archipgo but also attracted the attention of the Daoist Immortal Sect, which dominated the Central Continent.


    The Daoist Immortal Mountain.


    In the main hall at the highest point.


    A hum echoed.


    Above the main seat in the high hall.


    The Sect Master of the Immortal Sect, Mu Qingliu, appeared.


    "Sect Master."


    Everyone rose and bowed.


    "Speak directly."


    Sect Master Mu Qingliu spoke.


    "The mysterious powerhouse who attacked the ck Veil Archipgo has appeared again, iming to be ''Yuan Yang,'' upying White Jade Ind, establishing the White JadePavilion, and recruiting disciples," immediately reported Mu Mengting.


    In recent years, he had been most concerned about this matter. After all, the ck Veil Archipgo was the result of his many years of effort. Its destruction was a heavy blow.


    "Oh?"


    "The Transformation Stage Celestial Lords of the East Sea let him do as he pleased?"


    Sect Master Mu Qingliu frowned.


    "It''s not like they had a choice," Mu Mengting hesitated for a moment, "when White Jade Ind emerged, Celestial Lords of the East Sea had their own thoughts about White Jade Ind, but in the end, they all voluntarily gave up."


    "Sect Master, this Yuan Yang''s strength should not be as simple as Transformation Stage peak; he is likely at the Half-Step Void Refinement level," said an elder with golden lion mane-like curls.


    "Half-Step Void Refinement?"


    Sect Master Mu Qingliu fell into thought.


    "What do you think?"


    "How should we deal with this Yuan Yang and the White JadePavilion?"


    Sect Master Mu Qingliu asked.


    "Sect Master, such a powerhouse is difficult to deal with unless a Void Refinement Ancient Saint takes action; otherwise, it''s hard to do anything to him," said Jun Dongjin.


    A Half-Step Void Refinement Ancient Saint''s strength surpassed the Transformation Stage level. They were fearless without the intervention of an Ancient Saint.


    Even with the town-protecting immortal artifact Taihao Mirror, manifesting an incarnation thousands of miles away, it still couldn''t do anything to a Half-Step Ancient Saint.


    The strength of the incarnation was far inferior to the main body, at most possessing strength close to an Ancient Saint''s.


    It''s just that the Lord of White Jade Ind was a Half-Step Ancient Saint, and only a true Ancient Saint could pose a threat to him.


    However, the Daoist Immortal Sect only had the Sect Master as a Void Refinement Ancient Saint, although it had many reserves, they were mostly inclined towards defensive protection.


    Unless the Lord of White Jade Ind actively stepped into the Central Continent, residing in the vast East Sea, there was nothing the Daoist Immortal Sect could do to him.


    As for letting the Sect Master Mu Qingliu take the town-protecting immortal artifact and go to the East Sea to kill him, it wasn''t without risks.


    To ce their immortal mountain in danger for the sake of a mere Half-Step Void Refinement was not worth it, even with a very low possibility.


    "Let''s wait and see for now."


    Sect Master Mu Qingliu said.


    In fact, with the Daoist Immortal Sect''s background, even if Mu Qingliu took the town-protecting immortal artifact and left.


    Even if the Ghostly Pce, the Blood Demon Sea, and the Savage Demon Saint''s Nest joined forces, they wouldn''t be able to break through the Daoist Immortal Mountain in a short time. But there was no need for that.


    To resist the siege of three Void Refinement Ancient Saints without a peer, the Daoist Immortal Sect would also have to pay a considerable price.


    The Lord of White Jade Ind was only a Half-Step Void Refinement Ancient Saint, not worth the Daoist Immortal Sect''s efforts to deal with.


    For tens of thousands of years, the Central Continent had seen many such figurese and go without the need for the Immortal Sect to intervene.


    Time passed.


    Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.


    White Jade Ind in the East Sea.


    Inside the core cave mansion.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    By the sixth rank, Lin Yuan''s Yang Spirit and Yin Spirit had almost condensed into substance. Unless he exerted his full strength, it was impossible to tell that this was a primordial spirit.


    After a short while.


    Lin Yuan finished his cultivation.


    Stepping out of the cave mansion, he looked out over the entire White Jade Ind.


    In the span of ten years, the White Jade Pavilion had grown significantly. With a powerhouse like Lin Yuan presiding over it, many scattered cultivators in the East Sea were eager to join the White JadePavilion.


    Of course, the requirement for joining the White JadePavilion was that regardless of the cultivation method one practiced before joining, it had to be abandoned afterward in favor of martial arts cultivation.


    This requirement deterred many scattered cultivators, but there were still many cultivators willing to switch to martial arts cultivation.


    As of today, there were over a hundred thousand martial arts cultivators in White JadeJing.


    Among them, there were twelve individuals at the third level of martial arts, five thousand seven hundred and thirty at the second level, and over ny thousand at the first level.


    White Jade Ind was rich in spiritual energy,parable to the cave paradises of the Central Continent. Although martial arts did not rely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, having it was better than not.


    "Master."


    Just as Lin Yuan stepped out of the cave mansion, a delicate-looking girl walked over and respectfully greeted him.


    This girl, named Li Qing, was a disciple Lin Yuan had taken in over the past ten years. Her aptitude for martial arts was not bad, and she had already reached the third level of martial arts.


    "How is the spread of martial arts techniques going?" Lin Yuan inquired.


    Li Qing not only had good aptitude but also handled matters reliably and maturely. When Lin Yuan was in seclusion, most of the affairs of the White JadePavilion were entrusted to her.


    "Master, the introductory martial arts techniques have already spread throughout the East Sea archipgo and have partially entered the Central Continent. They are also spreading to the Blood Demon Sea and the Ghostly Pce," Li Qing replied.


    "Well done," Lin Yuan nodded.


    To spread the path of martial arts evolution, relying solely on White Jade Ind and the White Jade Pavilion was far from enough.


    Instead, having martial arts techniques spread throughout this world was the goal. Even if White Jade Ind and the White JadePavilion were destroyed and disappeared in the future, the martial arts system would still exist.


    This was Lin Yuan''s purpose.


    The world consciousness of this world was different from that of the Five Realms and would not target any particr cultivation system.


    Yunwu Paradise.


    In the cultivation chamber.


    Lin Yuan sat quietly, his aura circting within his body.


    Suddenly.


    Lin Yuan''s aura soared abruptly.


    "Sixth rank, fifth stage."


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes, and his aura quickly converged, just like an ordinary person.


    After ten years of cultivation, Lin Yuan had developed the sixth-rank martial arts system into the fifth stage.


    But Lin Yuan also felt that the further he progressed, the harder it became. This was because the paths he opened up for the martial arts evolution system were as perfect as possible.


    If he only created an ordinary sixth-rank evolutionary path, Lin Yuan wouldn''t have needed to exert so much effort.


    "However."


    "On the side of body cultivation, I can break through to the Void Refinement level."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face. In the span of ten years, besides opening up paths for martial arts evolution, Lin Yuan had not stopped his research into bodycultivation.


    Now, Lin Yuan''s achievements in bodycultivation had reached the pinnacle, only one step away from breaking through to the Void Refinement level.

    ...


    "Body cultivation, the Void Refinement level, I''ve pretty much grasped it," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    As long as he wished, he could now step into Void Refinement within the body cultivation lineage, bing the first body Void Refinement Realm cultivator in the Central Divine Continent in hundreds of thousands of years.


    However, Lin Yuan''s expression fell into brief contemtion.


    It was different from returning to the sixth rank.


    Lin Yuan had only juste into contact with the body cultivation lineage. If he were to break through to Void Refinement, it would be difficult to perfectly conceal all his breaths.


    So when he returned to the sixth rank, the emphasis was on the "return," having already experienced it in the primary world.


    Thus, when he re-entered the sixth rank in this immortal world, it was as simple as eating and drinking. Even the Daoist Immortal Sect''s supreme treasure, the Taihao Mirror, which constantly monitored all the breaths of the Divine Continent, had failed to detect Lin Yuan''s entry into the sixth rank.


    But if he were to break through to Void Refinement within the body cultivation lineage, Lin Yuan wasn''t confident in controlling his own breath. After all, he hadn''t walked this path before.


    "I can''t break through here in the Cloud Mist Blessed Land," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The Daoist Immortal Sect was right nearby.


    This ce belonged under the surveince of the Taihao Mirror.


    Any slight abnormality in breath would draw the attention of the Taihao Mirror and, subsequently, the gaze of the sect master.


    For hundreds of thousands of years, the Daoist Immortal Sect had been stationed in the Central Divine Continent. Why didn''t the Blood Demon Sea, the Ghostly Pce, and the Demon Saint''s Nest dare to invade?


    It was because of the Taihao Mirror.


    This supreme treasure, when activated, could cover the entire Central Divine Continent. If activated by a Void Refinement cultivator, it could even form an incarnation of the mirror, appearing at any location in this world.


    Of course, the farther away, the weaker the incarnation of the mirror would be.


    "Where should I break through?" Lin Yuan looked at the map of this world that appeared before him.


    Lin Yuan''s gaze first fell on the area of the Eastern Sea Inds. After Yang Spirit''s years of dominance, the White Jade Pavilion had be the leader among the Eastern Sea''s eight hundred peripheral sects and three thousand left-hand paths.


    "No," Lin Yuan considered for a moment and shook his head slightly.


    While the Eastern Sea was within the White Jade Pavilion''s sphere of influence, it was also a key area of concern for the Daoist Immortal Sect, the Blood Demon Sea, and the Ghostly Pce. Especially with the growth of the White Jade Pavilion''s influence in recent years, the Daoist Immortal Sect had paid even more attention to it.


    Choosing to break through in the Eastern Sea wouldn''t be a wise move. The sect master of the Daoist Immortal Sect could descend at any time with the incarnation of the Taihao Mirror. There was no need to take such risks.


    Apart from the Eastern Sea, Lin Yuan could only choose the north, south, or west.


    In fact, these three ces were almost the same. Although they were constantly subject to the Daoist Immortal Sect''s raids and suppression, the more so, the safer they were, after all, it was darkest under themp.


    "I''ll choose the west," Lin Yuan made up his mind.


    To the west of the Divine Continent was the territory of the savage beasts.


    The Demon Saint''s Nest was the holynd of the savage beasts, with Demonic Saints,parable to Void Refinement cultivators, in control.


    Moreover, the Demon Saint''s Nest belonged to Jun Wuji''s father, Jun Dongjin, who was responsible for suppressing and sweeping it.


    Over these years, Lin Yuan had roughly figured out theyout and rules of the hands dispatched by the sect disciples to suppress the savage beasts.


    With this understanding, Lin Yuan couldpletely break through without attracting any external disturbances. Even if there were some breakthrough anomalies, they would be difficult to detect for a short period. By the time they attracted the attention of other powerhouses, Lin Yuan would have already left.


    With the breakthrough location confirmed, Lin Yuan stepped out of the cultivation chamber.


    "Young Master," Chunhua and Qiuyue greeted him warmly.


    Lin Yuan instructed Chunhua and Qiuyue:


    "I n to seclude myself in meditation recently. Anyone whoes looking for me should be turned away, including Elder Brother, Second Sister, Father, and Mother."


    "Understood," Chunhua and Qiuyue responded immediately.


    This wasn''t the first time such a thing had happened.


    Ever since Jun Wuji moved into the Cloud Mist Blessed Land decades ago, he had begun to cultivate frantically, spending most of his time in seclusion.


    And during this time, no one could reach him.


    After instructing Chunhua and Qiuyue, Lin Yuan entered the cultivation chamber once again.


    "It''s time to go," Lin Yuan stood in the chamber, leaving behind a trace of his own aura.


    This aura could represent him and would be sensed by Chunhua and Qiuyue outside.


    At the same time.


    As long as someone intruded into this cultivation chamber.


    No matter how far apart they were, as long as they were within this world, Lin Yuan would sense it.


    Afterpleting all of this, Lin Yuan secretly left the Cloud Mist Blessed Land. This was the second time Lin Yuan had left since moving into the Cloud Mist Blessed Land.


    The first time was during the Great Ceremony of the Sect Master''s breakthrough.


    On the outskirts of the Central Divine Continent, in an ordinary valley, a figure appeared at some unknown time.


    "This ce isn''t bad," Lin Yuan nodded slightly as he looked towards the valley.


    This valley was not within the territory of the Central Divine Continent, nor was it within the territory of the savage beasts. Instead, it belonged to the buffer zone between the two.


    In this location, the Taihao Mirror of the Daoist Immortal Sect couldn''t monitor autonomously. Unless the sect master actively activated it to specifically sense this location.


    But this possibility was very low. Why would the sect master do so without cause? When the sect master activated the Taihao Mirror and descended to the Eastern Sea, it was because Lin Yuan had attacked the ck Veil Inds, disrupting the sect''syout.


    "This will do," Lin Yuan came to the valley and sat cross-legged in a certain cave.


    A phantom figure emerged from Lin Yuan''s body. It was the Yin Spirit.


    This breakthrough was about the physical body, so the Yin Spirit and the Yang Spirit could free up their hands to protect Lin Yuan.


    Since Lin Yuan had broken through to the sixth rank, the strength of the Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit had also increased significantly. Even though they were slightly weaker than Lin Yuan himself, they possessedbat powerparable to that of a Void Refinement cultivator.


    With a Void Refinement level expert protecting him, Lin Yuan chose to break through in this buffer zone. Whatever happened, he would have sufficient time to face it.


    Even if the sect master of the Daoist Immortal Sect came wielding the supreme treasure to kill him during the breakthrough, the Yin Spirit could take Lin Yuan away if the breakthrough failed. It would only be a failure of the breakthrough, nothing more.


    For Lin Yuan, there were ways to make up for it, and it wouldn''t be considered a significant loss.


    "Let''s begin," Lin Yuan closed his eyes.


    The majestic blood and energy within his body began to boil slowly.


    Eastern Sea.


    White Jade Ind.


    At the moment of Lin Yuan''s breakthrough, the Yang Spirit opened his eyes and looked towards Lin Yuan''s direction.


    "I hope nothing unexpected happens," Lin Yuan''s Yang Spirit thought to himself, stopping his cultivation and focusing on Lin Yuan''s breakthrough.


    If some extreme situation really urred, and a Void Refinement level expert came to kill him, when necessary, this Yang Spirit avatar could quickly disperse and then condense within the Yin Spirit.


    This meant crossing infinite distances to appear by Lin Yuan''s side.


    The Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit were two sides of the same coin. After the Yang Spirit dispersed, the Yin Spirit would pay a certain price to quickly generate the power of the sun, forming the Yang Spirit.


    When the Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit merged, they became the Taiji Divine Spirit, withbat power no weaker than Lin Yuan himself.


    Of course, this method would cause some consumption for the Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit, but as long as the breakthrough of the main body could be ensured, it was worth paying some price.


    On the other side of the buffer zone between the Central Divine Continent and the savage beast territory.


    Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhn stood in the void,manding arge number of Daoist Immortal Sect disciples to ughter the savage beasts.


    At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao''s expression changed slightly.


    He reached out and took out a round treasure disc.


    The pointer on the disc was trembling constantly.


    This round treasure disc was called the "Sensing Demon Disc".


    It could sense the movements and strengths of the savage beasts within tens of thousands of miles.


    At this moment, the Sensing Demon Disc was vibrating non-stop.


    "It should be the awakening of the eldest prince of the Demon Saint''s Nest," Jun Xiaoyao said solemnly.


    "The eldest prince?" Jun Zhn''s expression sank.


    The Demon Saint''s Nest was the holynd of the savage beasts, where the Demonic Saints,parable to Void Refinement cultivators, slumbered.


    If it weren''t for the Demon Saint''s Nest, the savage beasts would have been wiped out by the Daoist Immortal Sect long ago. How could they still exist now?


    And the eldest prince was the first sessor of the Demonic Saints in the Demon Saint''s Nest.


    The strength of the eldest prince could be said to be the strongest below the level of the ancients. With his special demonic bloodline, he could even erupt with the truebat power of an ancient saint level in a short period.


    "In that case," Jun Zhn said, "Let all disciples temporarily retreat to the Divine Continent."


    The strength of the eldest prince of the savage beasts was too terrifying, and the Daoist Immortal Sect had means to counter it, but it wasn''t necessary.


    The eldest prince had a special bloodline, and he mostly slept. Only asionally would he wake up ande out.


    It could be said that as long as they avoided the time when the eldest prince woke up, the Daoist Immortal Sect wouldn''t need to face such a terrifying opponent.


    "Alright," Jun Xiaoyao nodded.


    He immediately issued the order.


    Countless disciples of the Daoist Immortal Sect who were ughtering the savage beasts.


    Quickly ceased their actions and returned to the territory of the Central Divine Continent.


    At the same time.


    Deep within the savage beast territory.


    A terrifying aura was reviving.


    Countless savage beasts, whether great beasts, demon kings, or demon lords, were trembling and cowering in ce, not daring to move.


    Boom.


    A figure thousands of feet tall slowly walked out, causing the earth to tremble with each step, emitting an ancient and primordial aura.


    Upon closer inspection, this figure was actually a giant ape.


    A concept of thousands of feet, converted into meters, is about three to four thousand meters, towering high.


    "Finally awake again."


    "Mother really want me to practice that demonic technique, every hundred years, ny years I have to sleep."


    The giant ape strides forward, paying no attention to the countless demons trampled underfoot.


    For it, those demons were no different from ants. Who would care about trampling a few ants?


    "What a fresh air, too bad I only can enjoy it for ten years."


    The giant ape sighed, knowing that in ten years it would have to go back to sleep until awakening again a hundred yearster.


    Boom boom boom.


    The giant ape strides forward.


    Soon leaving the barren area, it came to the border region with the Central Divine Continent.


    "Hmph."


    "Those disciples of the Immortal Sect are quite clever, they''ve all disappeared."


    The giant ape nced towards the direction of the Central Divine Continent, but had no intention of entering.


    Although it had experienced nearly a hundred years of sleep, the giant ape''s mind was a bit slow, but it wasn''t stupid.


    Entering the Central Divine Continent was equivalent to exposing itself under that Taihao Mirror, where it could be struck down by the Sect Master of the Immortal Sect at any time.


    "Let''s just wander around here."


    The giant ape decided to stretch its muscles.


    Just then.


    The giant ape seemed to sense something and sniffed with its nose.


    "This kind of aura."


    The giant ape''s eyes lit up as it vaguely sensed a vast spiritual energy converging towards a certain location.


    "Is it the emergence of spiritual roots of heaven and earth?"


    "Or has a great medicine matured in the world?"


    The giant ape''s huge mouth split open.


    "All mine."


    The giant ape immediately strode towards the perceived direction.


    In the valley.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes.


    "Refining the Void body."


    Feeling the vast qi and blood in his body, Lin Yuan felt delighted.


    "Physical divine ability."


    Lin Yuan could already feel that deep within his bloodline, a certain aura had formed and could manifest at any time.


    "Hm?"


    Just as Lin Yuan was about to check what kind of physical divine ability it was.


    The ground suddenly trembled with a thunderous roar.


    The next moment.


    Lin Yuan left the cave.


    Arriving above the valley.


    "What''s that?"


    Lin Yuan looked towards the distance.


    Only to see a giant ape of thousands of feet, running madly towards this direction.


    "The Crown Prince of the Demon Saint''s Nest?"


    Lin Yuan immediately recognized the figure.


    After all, this demon was extremely famous, known to be able to challenge Void Refinement Ancients, and could unleashbat power equivalent to that of an Ancient Saint.


    Boom boom boom.


    The giant ape strides forward.


    "Where''s my spiritual roots of heaven and earth?"


    "Where''s my great medicine of the world?"


    The giant ape stopped its steps, looking around.


    With its size, it paid no attention to the valley beneath its feet.


    To the giant ape, the so-called valley was just a small mound of dirt.


    "Hm?"


    "You stole my spiritual roots of heaven and earth, and the great medicine of the world?"


    The giant ape observed carefully and soon discovered a human figure like dust.


    In the distance.


    Several demons cautiously observed the giant ape.


    "The Crown Prince seems to be in a good mood?" a wolf demon whispered.


    He was also a Demon King in the Divine Transformation stage, but in front of the giant ape, he was no different from those Nascent Soul stage demons.


    "Someone from the human race hasn''t left?"


    The demon king beside him seemed to have noticed something, looking towards the tiny figure on the valley above the giant ape''s feet.


    "It seems he hasn''t noticed, too bad, he''s going to die under the Crown Prince''s feet."


    The third demon king said with a low voice, his tone tinged with schadenfreude.


    The Crown Prince had trampled on many demons along the way, so trampling on a human now bnced things out.


    "This human, still not running away upon seeing the Crown Prince, might have some strength."


    Another demon king couldn''t help but say.


    "Hmph."


    "What can a bit of strength do?"


    "In front of the Crown Prince, unless it''s an Ancient Saint, everyone else is just ants."


    The wolf demon who spoke first sneered.


    The Crown Prince of the Demon Saint''s Nest was the strongest force under the Demon Saint.


    "That''s right."


    The other demons nodded in agreement.


    "There are no spiritual roots or great medicine here."


    Lin Yuan stood on top of the valley, calmly speaking.


    "Lies."


    "I clearly sensed the aura of spiritual roots and great medicine."


    "Did you steal my spiritual roots and great medicine?"


    The giant ape was furious, its voice buzzing like thunder, "Die."


    Immediately, the giant ape lifted its right foot, intending to crush Lin Yuan and the valley beneath it into powder.


    In the distance.


    Several demons, seeing this, looked at Lin Yuan as if they were looking at a dead man.


    To be precise, none of the demons'' gazes lingered on Lin Yuan, because in the next moment Lin Yuan would be dead under the Crown Prince''s feet.


    "The Crown Prince''s foot stirs the power of heaven and earth, involving the mystery of space. Even if one is faster, they cannot evade it, only resist it with all their might."


    "To resist the Crown Prince''s foot? This is something even a Divine Transformation Celestial Lords of the human race cannot do. Unless an Ancient Saint takes action, or there are life-saving means such as Ancient Saint-level talismans and treasures, otherwise, death is certain."


    Several demons discussed quickly.


    Their gazes were also observing the Crown Prince''s foot, trying to learn something from it.


    However, the next moment.


    All the demons were stunned.


    They saw the towering giant ape, which had been iparably majestic in their eyes, suddenly stagger, unable to help but step back a few steps, causing the earth to shake and tear open several huge cracks.


    The next moment, the giant ape was plunged into the ground by a foot.


    Under their incredulous gaze.


    Lin Yuan, who had been as tiny as dust in their eyes, now seemed to have transformed into a towering giant, directly stepping on the giant ape.


    Another foot, and the giant ape, which tried to resist, was once again deeply buried underground.


    Another foot, and the giant ape spat out blood, its bones cracking, its body covered in blood, barely breathing.


    "If it were before."


    Lin Yuan looked down at the giant ape, as if looking at an ant, calmly saying:


    "I would have gone deep into the wilderness and ttened the Demon Saint''s Nest."

    ...


    The thousand-zhang giant ape is very strong.


    This kind of ''strength'' is not limited to the physical body alone.


    It epasses a greater mastery of space and other profound rules.


    If someone thinks that the thousand-zhang giant ape is just a physicallyrge ''dumb brute'', then they arepletely mistaken.


    Being able to confront ancient sages, the eldest prince of the barbaric demonic beasts.


    How could it only rely on brute force?


    But unfortunately, the thousand-zhang giant ape encountered Lin Yuan.


    With the strength of the thousand-zhang giant ape, even if it really encountered a certain ancient sage, it still had the ability to survive.


    After all, their of the demon saints is nearby.


    As long as the thousand-zhang giant ape persists for a while, the demon saint from thatir wille.


    However, in front of Lin Yuan, who had already stepped into the Void Refinement stage cultivation, the thousand-zhang giant ape couldn''t even hold on for a breath, and was severely injured and on the brink of death from being trampled by Lin Yuan''s four feet.


    This is a body Void Refinement realm cultivator.


    In the Central Continent, there has never been a lineage of cultivators like this.


    After stepping into the body Void Refinement stage, Lin Yuan faintly felt that with just one punch or kick, he could suppress the surrounding void.


    One force breaking through myriadws.


    That''s what body Void Refinement stage is about.


    "Since I''m almost done anyway, I might as well..."


    Lin Yuan lowered his head and looked down at the thousand-zhang giant ape, who was coughing up blood heavily. He made a decision in his heart.


    In the distance, several demonic beasts were watching.


    At this moment, there was silence, and their gazes were vacant.


    What did they see? Their own eldest prince, in front of that tiny human like speck of dust, actually had no resistance at all.


    He''s the eldest prince.


    The eldest prince who can challenge even ancient sages.


    Why is he powerless in front of Lin Yuan?


    Several demonic beasts nced at each other.


    They instinctively felt, was the eldest prince too weak?


    But in an instant, these several demonic beasts realized.


    How could the eldest prince be weak?


    All along the way, the eldest prince has been imposing and mighty.


    They remembered that clearly.


    Since it''s not the eldest prince who is weak.


    Then it must be that the human is too strong.


    Strong enough to render the eldest prince powerless to resist.


    "Who exactly... who exactly is this ancient sage?"


    "Aren''t they afraid of causing chaos in the world?"


    These several demonic beasts trembled in their hearts.


    That tiny human, with just a few steps, made the eldest prince lose all resistance.


    It means that this person is definitely on the level of an ancient sage.


    In today''s world, the Daoist Immortal Sect upies the Central Divine Continent, while the Ghostly Pce, the Blood Demon Sea, and the Demon Saint''s Nest each dominate the south, north, and west of the Divine Continent respectively.


    But these four major forces have an unwritten rule.


    That is, unless absolutely necessary, ancient sages at the Void Refinement level do not need to take action.


    Even more than ten years ago, when the Daoist Immortal Sect''syout in the ck Veil Inds of the Eastern Sea was annihted.


    The Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect only descended as an incarnation of an immortal mirror at that time, while the true body still remained in the Daoist Immortal Mountain.


    "Look, what is that person doing?"


    The thoughts of several demonic beasts were chaotic, and their pupils suddenly contracted.


    Because.


    They saw¡ª


    That tiny human.


    Facing the thousand-zhang giant ape, he sucked in sharply.


    In an instant.


    The life force within the thousand-zhang giant ape, which was still gasping for breath, began to rapidly dissipate.


    In less than a moment.


    It turned into a pile of bones.


    "Not bad, not bad."


    "It''s roughly equivalent to dozens of quasi-sixth-rank medicinal nts."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    He had just broken through to the Void Refinement stage cultivation, and although hisbat power had soared, his body was currently weakened due to the breakthrough.


    This thousand-zhang giant ape came at just the right time, bing Lin Yuan''s source of replenishment for his weakness.


    Just then.


    As the thousand-zhang giant apepletely perished.


    Deep within the wilderness, a massive aura began to revive.


    "That demonic saint?"


    Lin Yuan nced over.


    It''s no secret that there''s a demonic saint in the demon''s nest deep in the wilderness.


    But this demonic saint spends most of his time in a state of slumber.


    "Let''s go."


    Lin Yuan had no intention of fighting that demonic saint.


    It''s not that Lin Yuan is not a match for that demonic saint, but it''s meaningless.


    Lin Yuan has not yet reached the level of invincibility, so leaving that demonic saint to restrain the Daoist Immortal Sect is also a good choice. There''s no need to confront it head-on.


    After a moment, a terrifying divine consciousness descended.


    It transformed into a more towering and gigantic ape-like shadow.


    "Who is it exactly?"


    This ape-like shadow roared deeply, looking at the corpse of the eldest prince, extremely enraged.


    It had great expectations for the eldest prince. If all went well, the eldest prince only needed to sleep for another five thousand years.


    Then, he would ascend to the level of an ancient sage at the Void Refinement stage.


    By then, the demon saint''s nest in the wilderness would have two demon saints presiding over it.


    Perhaps they could eveny im to the Central Divine Continent.


    But now.


    The eldest prince was dead.


    Many of its ns had been shattered.


    For a short period of time, among the countless demonic beasts in the wilderness, there was not a single one with the potential to ascend to be a demon saint.


    "Hmm?"


    The ape-like shadow nced towards the distance, where several trembling demonic beasts were.


    Then, raising its right hand, it brought those demonic beasts before it.


    "Soul search."


    The ape-like shadow''s thoughts moved slightly.


    The scenes that several demonic beasts had just witnessed appeared clearly before it.


    "Such strength?"


    The ape-like shadow saw Lin Yuan trample the eldest prince to death with just a few steps, and its expression changed slightly.


    "Without involving any profound rules, just the power of the physical body alone. This methodes from the human race''s body refinement. Could this person be a body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage?"


    The ape-like shadow muttered to itself.


    Body cultivators are naturally skilled in physicalbat, and theirbat power at the same level is considered extremely strong. However, they have always been relegated to being a subsidiary of the immortal path for various reasons.


    "The Daoist Immortal Sect? Has it cultivated a body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage?"


    The ape-like shadow''s face turned ugly.


    Regardless, body cultivators are still part of the immortal path.


    Now that a body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage has appeared, it can only think of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    Half a dayter, a gleam of light crossed an infinite distance.


    It descended in the buffer zone between the Central Divine Continent and the wilderness.


    "The offspring of the demon saint is dead?"


    The Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect, Mu Qingliu, frowned.


    "Sect Master, at that time..."


    Jun Xiaoyao immediately began to exin.


    Upon sensing that the eldest prince of the barbaric demonic beasts was about to awaken, Jun Xiaoyao instructed many disciples of the sect to temporarily return to the Central Divine Continent.


    In addition, Jun Xiaoyao also used a secret technique.


    To remotely observe the situation of the thousand-zhang giant ape.


    As a result, he discovered an incredibly shocking scene.


    The eldest prince, towering a thousand zhang high.


    Was actually trampled to death by a ''tiny figure''.


    Jun Xiaoyao did not see the appearance of that ''tiny figure''.


    Because the person was overflowing with vitality and blood, rejecting any magical techniques.


    "Let me see."


    The Sect Master of the sect, Mu Qingliu, arrived at the scene.


    Then, using the mirror light of the Taihao Mirror, he began to ''retrace'' the scene.


    This is the ability of the Taihao Mirror, which can forcefully ''retrace'' a certain segment of the past in an area.


    Of course, the ''retraced'' scene cannot involve the Void Refinement level.


    Ancient sages have already begun to influence the surrounding world, making such ''retracing'' methods ineffective against them.


    "Hmm."


    The scene shifted.


    The next moment, the scene was filled with endless vitality and blood.


    "Sure enough, it''s an ancient sage, and also a body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage."


    The Sect Master of the sect, Mu Qingliu, remained silent. Although the scene did not specifically trace back to anything, based on Jun Xiaoyao''s exnation and the residual aura on the scene.


    He had already inferred many things.


    "A body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage?"


    "When did such a powerful individual appear in our Central Divine Continent?"


    Mu Qingliu furrowed his brows in thought.


    He didn''t know whether this body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage was a friend or foe of their Daoist Immortal Sect.


    But without a doubt, a body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage, skilled inbat, couldpletely influence the bnce of power among the current four major forces.


    In the north of the Divine Continent, in the Blood Demon Sea.


    The Lord of the Blood Demon sat cross-legged on a small ind deep in the Blood Demon Sea.


    Although he was also an ancient sage at the Void Refinement stage, he was integrated with the Blood Demon Sea.


    As a result, he possessed almost indestructible abilities, but at the same time, he lost his freedom, unable to leave the range of the Blood Demon Sea.


    Of course, If willing to pay the price.


    The Lord of the Blood Demon could also enter the Central Divine Continent.


    That is by activating the Blood Demon Sea, causing it to expand.


    As long as the Blood Demon Sea besrge enough to cover the entire world.


    Then whether or not the Lord of the Blood Demon can leave the restriction of the Blood Demon Sea doesn''t matter.


    "Huh?"


    "News from the demon saint?"


    The Lord of the Blood Demon''s eyebrows rose.


    In order to jointly resist the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    The demon saint''s nest, the Blood Demon Sea, and the Ghostly Pce have always had the habit of sharing intelligence.


    The enemy''s enemy is a friend.


    The Daoist Immortal Sect is too powerful.


    If they don''t unite, they will only hasten their downfall.


    "A body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage has appeared?"


    The Lord of the Blood Demon''s expression grew solemn.


    The limit of the Body Cultivation lineage is the Divine Transformation stage, so they have always been subservient to the Immortal Path. Many cultivators have regarded Body Cultivation techniques as a means of strengthening the body.


    Even so, if not relying on external factors, cultivators at the same level of Body Cultivation are never weaker than cultivators at the same level of cultivation.


    In some aspects, they may even be stronger.


    There is a very low probability of manifesting physical divine abilities.


    Cultivators at the Divine Transformation stage have a chance to master physical divine abilities.


    In theory, cultivators at the Void Refinement stage have a higher possibility of mastering physical divine abilities.


    "Where did this body cultivator at the Void Refinement stagee from, and is it a trump card of the Daoist Immortal Sect?"


    The Lord of the Blood Demon was eager to know the identity of this body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage.


    If this body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage truly came from the Daoist Immortal Sect, in the future, for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, the Blood Demon Sea, the demon saint''s nest, and the Ghostly Pce would all be unable to turn the tables and could only survive in their respective territories.


    In the south of the Divine Continent, at the Ghostly Pce.


    "A body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage?"


    The thin man sitting on the throne felt a headacheing on.


    In recent decades, the world has changed too much.


    First, a master emerged from the East Sea, possessing the strength of a quasi-ancient sage.


    And now, another cultivator at the Void Refinement stage has appeared.


    As the king of the ghost cultivators, how could the thin man not know the strength of a body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage?


    "Where did these peoplee from?"


    The thin man rubbed his brow.


    Leaving aside the master of the one in the East Sea for now, with quasi-ancient sage-level strength, he might be a hidden expert.


    But a body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage?


    Hasn''t this thing never appeared since ancient times?


    There should at least be some signs, right?


    Such as first giving birth to a batch of Divine Transformation stage body cultivators.


    Then, from among these Divine Transformation stage body cultivators, giving birth to a body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage.


    That''s the way it should go, step by step.


    "I need to investigate."


    "What is the stance of this body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage?"


    The thin man did not believe that this body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage came from the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    With the domineering style of thetter, if they had produced a body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage themselves, they would have eagerly publicized it long ago.


    How could there be no news at all until now?


    In the Cloud Mist Paradise, Lin Yuan quietly appeared in the cultivation chamber.


    "No one has noticed."


    Lin Yuan nced at the situation in the Cloud Mist Paradise after more than ten days of absence.


    Everything was normal, with no one elseing to visit, and Chunhua and Qiuyue were still faithfully guarding outside.


    "Physical Divine Ability."


    Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.


    At this moment, he faintly felt the throbbing deep in his bloodline, almost fully formed, ready to ''break out of its shell'' at any moment.


    "What kind of physical divine ability is it?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression was expectant, quietly waiting.


    Half a dayter, the physical divine ability was fully formed.


    In an instant, arge amount of information about the ''physical divine ability'' flooded into Lin Yuan''s mind.


    "Physical Divine Ability¡ªBlood Rebirth?"


    Lin Yuan''s spirits lifted.


    This physical divine ability could be considered all-epassing.


    Whether for survival or forbat, it would be extremely useful.


    ording to the introduction of this divine ability, as long as Lin Yuan''s body did notpletely vanish, as long as there was a drop of blood remaining, he could quickly be reborn.


    This was quite terrifying.


    For someone like Lin Yuan, who possessed a Martial Path Evolutionist''s divine soul, even if his body copsed, his divine soul still retained the power to fight.


    But for the vast majority of Sixth-tier Evolutionists, if their bodies were gone, while they wouldn''t exactly be dead, the strength of their spiritual and mental bodies would be greatly diminished.


    "I need to first understand the principles and essence of this divine ability."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts converged as he began to carefully study it with his unparalleledprehension.


    While the divine ability Blood Rebirth was excellent, it came from the bloodline power of the person of this world, Jun Wuji.


    In other words, when Lin Yuan''s residency time was up and he returned to the main world, even if he returned to being a body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage, the awakened physical divine ability might not necessarily be Blood Rebirth.


    After all, their bodies and bloodlines were different.


    However, as long as he understood the essence of the divine ability Blood Rebirth, no matter where he was, Lin Yuan would be able to use this divine ability.


    So-called divine abilities, so-called talents, were just aplex form of technique.


    Understanding the essence would allow them to be easily used.


    This was the frightening aspect of unparalleledprehension.


    Studying all things.


    And then applying them.


    At the Daoist Immortal Sect, in the highest hall.


    The Sect Master Mu Qingliu sat expressionless.


    "We can''t wait any longer."


    Mu Qingliu stood up, muttering to himself in a low voice.


    A trace of a body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage has appeared in the buffer zone between the Central Divine Continent and the wilderness.


    This made Mu Qingliu somewhat uneasy and felt a hint of pressure.


    If this body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage were to join forces with the Ghostly Pce, the Blood Demon Sea, and the demon saint''s nest, although it would still be unable to shake the foundation of the Daoist Immortal Sect, it would cause chaos in the world.


    The Daoist Immortal Sect urgently needs a second ancient sage to preside over it.


    Originally, Mu Qingliu wanted to observe for a while longer and choose the final sessor between Jun Dongjin and Mu Mengting.


    But now, there was no longer so much time.


    The resources and means currently possessed by the Daoist Immortal Sect are only enough to forcibly push one person to the Void Refinement stage.


    "As long as the sect has two ancient sages presiding over it, even if that body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage joins forces with those three old guys, it will be of no avail."


    Mu Qingliu thought to himself silently.


    The effects of having two ancient sages presiding over the Daoist Immortal Mountain were not as simple as one plus one equals two.


    "Jun Dongjin, Mu Mengting."


    The names of these two individuals shed through Mu Qingliu''s mind, and he had already made a decision.


    ...

    ...


    Certainly, Jun Dongjin is in an advantageous position.


    His mutated innate talent is sufficient to ce him among the top fifty of the Daoist Immortal Sect''s several hundred thousand years of history.


    Moreover, Jun Dongjin is steady in character. If he can advance into the Void Refinement Stage, maintaining the Daoist Immortal Sect''s dominant position in the Central Divine Continent won''t be difficult.


    However, Jun Dongjin is ultimately an outsider.


    Even if he marries a female cultivator from the Mu Family, he is still an outsider.


    Jun Dongjin bing the future sect master of the Daoist Immortal Sect will definitely not allow the Mu Family to continue to dominate, regardless of the reason.


    This is the instinct of those in power.


    On the contrary, if Mu Mengting bes the next sect master of the Daoist Immortal Sect, the aforementioned situation will not ur. After all, Mu Mengting is a cultivator of the Mu Family.


    Mu Qingliu remained calm. At his level, it doesn''t matter much who bes the next sect master of the sect.


    The most important thing is how to uphold the interests of the Mu Family.


    And, although Mu Mengting is not as good as Jun Dongjin,pared to the others in the Daoist Immortal Sect, Mu Mengting is already at the top.


    With the umtion of the Daoist Immortal Sect''s several hundred thousand years of heritage, there will be no problem with Mu Mengting assuming the position of sect master.


    "Dongjin, don''t me me."


    "If you must me someone, me that you are not from the Mu Family."


    Mu Qingliu thought to himself.


    In fact, if it were a few decades or centuriester, and if Jun Dongjin were to advance into the Void Refinement Stage before Mu Mengting, Mu Qingliu would indeed have considered grooming Jun Dongjin as the next sect master of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    Unfortunately, time waits for no one.


    When both of them are at simr stages of progression, Mu Qingliu naturally prioritizes his own family.


    Since he has decided to fully nurture Mu Mengting, Mu Qingliu naturally begins to suppress Jun Dongjin.


    Otherwise, if Jun Dongjin were to see Mu Mengting attempting to advance into the Void Refinement Stage with the full support of the sect, it would inevitably upset his mentality.


    At that time, whatever action he takes would be detrimental to the sect.


    Therefore, Mu Qingliu intends to transfer Jun Dongjin out of the Daoist Immortal Sect in advance.


    "With Dongjin''s talent, even without the assistance of the sect, he will have the opportunity to step into the realm of Semi-Ancient Sage in the future."


    "I''ll be the viin this time and personally arrange for Dongjin and his family to leave."


    "Later, when Mengting bes the sect master, I''ll bring Dongjin back and entrust him with important responsibilities, then I can gain Dongjin''s loyalty."


    Mu Qingliu thought to himself.


    In the world of cultivation, individuals may possess great power, but managing a force is not solely about strength.


    Especially in the Daoist Immortal Sect, with the looming threats of the Ghost Pce, Demon Saint Nest, and Blood Demon Sea, the sect master at the level of Semi-Ancient Sage needs to be present on the Daoist Immortal Mountain at all times.


    At this time, whether one can effectively manage the entire Central Divine Continent depends on the support they receive.


    In Mu Qingliu''s view, Jun Dongjin is obviously a very qualified subordinate.


    Even if he cannot be the sect master of the Daoist Immortal Sect, being an elder in charge would undoubtedly relieve the sect master of many worries.


    Daoist Immortal Mountain.


    Jun Dongjin, Mu Lian''er, Jun Xiaoyao, and Jun Zhn, the four of them sat frowning.


    "What does Grandfather mean by having our whole family stationed at Mangya Mountain? It''s remote andcks significant resources. Is it really necessary for all four of us to go?" Jun Zhnined.


    She was quite content living on the Daoist Immortal Mountain. The spiritual energy here was abundant, and the environment for cultivation was suitable. As for Mangya Mountain? Although it was still within the range of the Central Divine Continent, it was naturally far inferior to the Daoist Immortal Mountain.


    "The sect master must have his reasons."


    "Perhaps there are important resources in Mangya Mountain that we are unaware of?" Jun Xiaoyao always thought from the perspective of the sect master.


    "I''ll go ask Father what''s going on."


    Mu Lian''er stood up, intending to see Mu Qingliu.


    She couldn''t understand why, out of the blue, Father issued such an order for their whole family.


    Over the years, Jun Dongjin had carried out the tasks assigned by the sect master diligently, without any mistakes. There was no need for such amand.


    "Lian''er."


    Jun Dongjin hurriedly stopped Mu Lian''er.


    "The sect master has already issued an order regarding this matter. It''s a done deal. If you go inquire about it now, you''ll only make things difficult for the sect master."


    Jun Dongjin shook his head and said, "Besides, I''ve been busy with sect matters for the past few decades. Now that I have some free time, it''s perfect for a little rest."


    "I heard that there are many mortal kingdoms gathered in Mangya Mountain. We can take a good stroll there when the timees."


    "Dad, you''re really optimistic." Jun Zhn rolled her eyes.


    But one thing Jun Dongjin said was correct.


    Their family''s relocation had been decreed by the sect master through a sect order.


    There was no room for change or retreat.


    Even if they were unwilling, they could only obey the order.


    Otherwise, it would be a betrayal of the sect.


    "Perhaps Father just wants to temper our temperament, and we''ll be back soon," Mu Lian''erforted.


    Daoist Immortal Mountain.


    Peak of the Mu Family''s mountain.


    Mu Mengting and several trusted subordinates arrived at a hidden chamber atop the peak.


    This ce was one of the few in the entire Central Divine Continent not under the surveince of the Taihao Mirror.


    "Mengting senior brother, have you heard? That Jun Dongjin is going to be transferred out, his whole family is going to Mangya Mountain to take charge," a round-faced man said in a low voice, unable to hide his delight.


    Over the years, Mu Mengting and Jun Dongjin had fought numerous times, openly and secretly, for the position of sect master.


    Jun Dongjin''s mutated spiritual root made him popr within the sect and highly regarded by several supreme elders, despite his background in the Mu Family. Consequently, Mu Mengting had suffered many setbacks.


    If Mu Mengting faced such issues, it was even more so for his trusted subordinates.


    Now, hearing that Jun Dongjin and his family were going to be transferred, their joy was evident.


    If not for the sect''s rules, they might have already started celebrating.


    "Why would the sect master want to transfer Jun Dongjin''s family?" Mu Mengting was also in a good mood but began to ponder nheless.


    He didn''t know that the sect master, Mu Qingliu, had already nned to select him as the future sect master and that transferring Jun Dongjin was also for his benefit.


    And to set up for the future subjugation of Jun Dongjin.


    "I heard that something big happened in the Savage Wilderness recently," the second subordinate spoke up. "The eldest son of the Demon Saint Nest died, apparently at the hands of an ancient sage."


    "I heard about that too," Mu Mengting nodded.


    However, nobody knew the details or which ancient sage was involved.


    The sect master should know, but if the sect master didn''t disclose it, nobody dared to ask.


    "Senior brother Mengting, regardless of whether it''s rted to this matter, it''s not important," the third subordinate said in a low voice.


    "Now, there''s an unprecedented opportunity."


    "Although Jun Dongjin''s family is being transferred, it doesn''t mean they won''te back in the future."


    "If Jun Dongjin''s family were to die on the way, it shouldn''t be difficult, right?"


    This subordinate''s tone was cold.


    "The Taihao Immortal Realm covers the entire Central Divine Continent. If we act, we''ll be exposed," Mu Mengting shook his head.


    "The Taihao Mirror monitors for foreign energies. If cultivators from the Blood Demon Sea, Demon Saint Nest, or GhostPce dare to enter the Central Divine Continent, they''ll be detected."


    "But if it''s the aura of the sect masters from the past, even if the Taihao Mirror senses it, it won''t react," the subordinate continued.


    "Are you suggesting that I use the Void Refinement Talismans left by the past sect masters?" Mu Mengting said.


    Void Refinement Talismans were imbued with the full force of a cultivator''s strike through special means. If activated, it was equivalent to unleashing that strike.


    Throughout the Daoist Immortal Sect''s tens of thousands of years of inheritance, every Void Refinement Stage sect master left behind some Void Refinement Talismans containing their full force.


    Every past Void Refinement Stage sect master had once been the owner of the Taihao Mirror. Their auras wouldn''t be detected by the Taihao Mirror.


    "No, it''s not feasible," Mu Mengting shook his head again.


    "Even if it couldn''t be detected at the time, if the sect master were to investigateter, our exposure would be inevitable."


    "Indeed."


    "The sect master will definitely know."


    "But by then, Jun Dongjin will already be dead."


    "In the Daoist Immortal Sect, only you, Senior Brother Mengting, can seed to the position of sect master."


    The subordinates continued speaking.


    "There are so many disciples in the Daoist Immortal Sect, no shortage of talents. Apart from me, there are plenty of disciples who could be candidates for sect master."


    Mu Mengting still seemed hesitant.


    "Senior brother Mengting, you underestimate your position within the sect."


    "Unless the sect can produce another mutated spiritual root cultivator like Jun Dongjin, within a thousand years, you are the most suitable candidate for sect master. And there''s something I''m not sure if I should mention."


    "In the history of the Daoist Immortal Sect, the maximum tenure for a sect master has been fifteen thousand years. By now, Sect Master Mu has been in office for about twelve thousand years."


    "Senior Brother Mengting, you are also of the Mu Family, a direct descendant of the sect master. If he doesn''t nurture you, who else can he nurture? But if Jun Dongjin were toe back alive, the future position of sect master would be uncertain."


    Listening to the advice of his trusted subordinates, Mu Mengting''s expression changed constantly.


    "Fine."


    After a long while, Mu Mengting suddenly stood up, his gaze icy.


    Outside the Cloud Mist Blessed Land.


    Jun Dongjin, Mu Lian''er, as well as Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhn, were bidding farewell to Lin Yuan.


    "You should stay well in Cloud Mist Blessed Land," Jun Zhn said with reluctance.


    The sect''s order was only for Jun Dongjin''s family of four to go to Mangya Mountain. Jun Wuji, their son who had been living in Cloud Mist Blessed Land for years, was not included.


    Perhaps in Mu Qingliu''s eyes, Jun Wuji didn''t need attention. After all, what did a Golden Core (Lin Yuan''s strength in the public) body cultivator matter to the Daoist Immortal Sect?


    Moreover, since Jun Wuji entered Cloud Mist Blessed Land, he had never actively entered Daoist Immortal Mountain, making him an absolutely "harmless" individual.


    "Be careful on your journey," Lin Yuan said to Jun Dongjin and Mu Lian''er.


    "What''s there to be careful about? Mangya Mountain is also within the Taihao Mirror''s coverage. Even the dogs from the GhostPce, Demon Saint Nest, and Blood Demon Sea wouldn''t dare to make a move against me," Jun Dongjin said with a smile, evidently confident in their sect-protecting immortal artifact.


    "Nevertheless, it''s always good to be cautious," Lin Yuan said.


    External enemies were not frightening; what truly needed attention were internal enemies, like Mu Mengting.


    Through these years of observation, Lin Yuan knew that Mu Mengting was the kind of person who would seek retribution for any grievance. It''s not that cultivators with such personalities were bad, but one always had to be cautious around them.


    "Understood."


    "We''ll be on our way then."


    Jun Dongjin waved his hand, then left with Mu Lian''er, Jun Xiaoyao, and Jun Zhn.


    Lin Yuan watched as Jun Dongjin and the others disappeared, then turned and returned to Cloud Mist Blessed Land.


    In the cultivation chamber.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    "Go, follow them."


    Lin Yuan''s mind moved slightly.


    His Yin True Spirit emerged from his body and quickly disappeared from the spot.


    On the Ancient Path of the Abyss.


    This was the obligatory route to Mangya Mountain.


    In the dense forest beside the ancient path.


    Several figures stood silently.


    These figures, concealed in aura, were all powerful cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage.


    "They''re here."


    "Jun Dongjin''s family is approaching."


    Several figures carefully observed, sensing the aura thousands of miles away.


    They saw a jade carriage swiftly approaching, obviously a high-grade flying artifact.


    "We won''t need to actter. We can activate this talisman together." The leader of the group struggled to retrieve a pale golden talisman from his storage pouch.


    Even without activation, this pale golden talisman exuded iparable terror.


    "A Void Refinement Stage Talisman."


    The other figures nearby looked at the talisman with burning eyes.


    This was the heritage of the Daoist Immortal Sect. If it weren''t for Mu Mengting, let alone producing a Void Refinement Stage Talisman, they wouldn''t even have the chance to see one.


    "Later, as long as that jade carriage¡ª"


    The leading Divine Transformation cultivator began to make arrangements.


    Void Refinement Stage Talismans required the cooperation of Divine Transformation Stage cultivators just to activate them.


    Suddenly.


    Just at that moment.


    Under the gaze of several Divine Transformation cultivators.


    The pale golden Void Refinement Stage Talisman in their line of sight seemed to be stimted by something.


    It actually activated on its own.


    Hum!!!


    The Void Refinement Stage Talisman exploded directly.


    Forming an illusory defensive barrier.


    However, in the next moment.


    The defensive barrier shattered.


    From the self-activation of the Void Refinement Stage Talisman.


    To the formation of the barrier.


    Everything happened in an instant.


    Even the Divine Transformation cultivators were somewhat bewildered by the speed.


    What just happened?


    "This?"


    The leading Divine Transformation cultivator seemed to realize something, his face showing a hint of fear.


    Void Refinement Stage Talismans.


    Generally, there were two ways to use them.


    One was to activate them actively, which belonged to the category of offense.


    The other was passive defense.


    That is, when facing an irresistible threat.


    The Void Refinement Stage Talisman would activate on its own.


    Forming a defensive barrier.


    This kind of method, even when facing an attack from a fellow Void Refinement Stage Ancient Sage, the defensive barrier could hold up for a while.


    However, just now.


    The defensive barrier formed by the Void Refinement Stage Talismansted only for an instant?


    The leading Divine Transformation cultivator''s mind trembled.


    He subconsciously looked towards the sky.


    Between heaven and earth, at some unknown time, there was a suffocating aura, ancient and vast, obscuring the sky and covering the sun.


    The Divine Transformation cultivator could vaguely see, under the sky, beneath the bright moon, a figure emitting the aura of the Yin, almost blending with the moon.


    Although this figure was under the bright moon, it seemed to epass the entire moon.


    With his left hand behind his back and his right hand pressing down, as if crushing a few ants, but seemingly hindered by something, he paused for a moment.


    ...

    ...


    The bright moon hangs high in the sky.


    The power of Yin pervades.


    Lin Yuan lowered his head and looked down, gazing at those several cultivators in the Divine Transformation Stage whose legs had turned weak.


    Although the Yin Divine Spirit followed behind Jun Dongjin and the others, the perception was immense.


    Long before tens of thousands of miles away, he sensed that there were ambushes here.


    So he hurried in advance, intending to crush them effortlessly.


    But the power of that Void Refinement Stage talisman was beyond Lin Yuan''s expectations.


    It actually blocked him for a moment?


    "The immortal cultivation system also has extraordinary aspects."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts fluctuated, such as this talisman path, which could preserve the power of a Void Refinement Stage Cultivator in an almost intact state.


    The subtleties involved in it made Lin Yuan somewhat astonished.


    Boom!


    Just at this moment.


    In the central region of the Central Divine Continent.


    A terrifying aura suddenly erupted.


    A mirror light emitting immeasurable radiance and endless cmity, instantly descending and condensing into a mirror light incarnation.


    Then it directly struck towards Lin Yuan.


    This strike vaguely prevented the surrounding space from condensing, and the terrifying power swept through every inch of air.


    Even an ordinary Divine Transformation Stage cultivator, even if the Crown Prince of the Savage Demon Saint''s Nest were resurrected, would face the risk of falling directly if they dared to resist this strike. The power of this strike vaguely reached the peak of the Void Refinement Realm.


    "The Taihao Mirror?"


    "Trouble!"


    Lin Yuan''s brow slightly wrinkled.


    He had already carefully restrained his power just now, but he was still detected abnormally by the Taihao Mirror, which descended directly.


    But it may not necessarily be the Taihao Mirror detecting Lin Yuan''s actions; it may be something rted to the disintegration of that Void Refinement Stage talisman, causing the Taihao Mirror to sense something.


    tter tter.


    Lin Yuan stepped back.


    His robe fluttered, and he casually blocked this strike that almost reached the peak of the Void Refinement Realm.


    Hum.


    Invisible fluctuations spread in all directions, the sh of two Ancient Saints'' powers, if not intentionally restrained, thend within thousands of miles would probably have begun to crack.


    Thousands of miles away.


    Jun Dongjin and the others controlled the Jade Carriage artifact and, as they approached slightly, immediately noticed the fluctuations caused by the sh of Ancient Saints'' powers.


    "Two Ancient Saints are fighting? One of them is the Sect Master, who is the other?"


    Jun Dongjin was greatly surprised. Among the Ancient Saints of the world, there are only a few, no more than two hands, each of them renowned.


    "Where?"


    Jun Dongjin looked up at the sky and saw two figures confronting each other. The one on the left was surrounded by immortal light, the incarnation of the Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect, Mu Qingliu.


    The figure on the right, with fluttering sleeves and a vague face, stood under the bright moon, with an imposing manner as vast as the sky.


    "The power of Yin, could it be the Ghost Emperor of the GhostPce?"


    Jun Dongjin spected in his heart. Among the Ancient Saints of the world, only the Ghost Emperor''s aura was closest to that of this figure.


    "Dad, what''s that?"


    Jun Zhn seemed to have noticed something and whispered, pointing in a certain direction.


    Jun Dongjin followed her gaze and saw several Divine Transformation Stage cultivatorstrembling in fear in a hidden corner.


    These Divine Transformation Stage cultivatorshad pale faces, so scared that they didn''t even have the courage to escape.


    "Who are they?"


    Jun Dongjin observed carefully.


    In the Central Divine Continent, including the East Sea, the Beast Lands, Blood Demon Sea, and the Ghost Pce, although there are some strong individuals who have reached the Divine Transformation Stage, they all have well-known reputations.


    "The aura of Void Refinement Stage talisman."


    Jun Dongjin''s expression became serious.


    He faintly felt that among these Divine Transformation Stage cultivatorsfilled with fear, there was the aura of Void Refinement Stage talisman.


    Void Refinement Stage talisman. In today''s world, only the Daoist Immortal Sect can produce them.


    It''s not that having the strength of the Void Refinement Stage allows you to leave behind Void Refinement Stage talismans. Making Void Refinement Stage talismans requires specific skills in talismanic arts, and a certain core material of the talisman, unique to the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    In other words.


    At this moment, Jun Dongjin felt the aura of the Void Refinement Stage talisman, which could onlye from the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    "This Void Refinement Stage talisman should belong to the 21st generation Sect Master of the Sect, Mu Shouzhu."


    Jun Dongjin thought to himself silently.


    Each Void Refinement Stage Ancient Saint is unique, and a Void Refinement Stage talisman carries the full power of this Ancient Saint.


    So merely by the aura of the talisman, one can distinguish which Ancient Saint it belongs to. Especially in the Daoist Immortal Sect, which has a tradition of hundreds of thousands of years, for each Sect Master who reaches the level of Void Refinement Ancient Saint, a deity is set up for countless disciples of the sect to worship.


    "Mu Family''s Void Refinement Stage talisman."


    Jun Dongjin''s mood wasplicated.


    The Mu Family, as one of the three main veins of the Daoist Immortal Sect, has given birth to more than one Void Refinement Stage Sect Master.


    The 21st generation Sect Master, Mu Shouzhu.


    And the current 30th generation Sect Master, Mu Qingliu.


    Both are from the Mu Family.


    Jun Dongjin is not a fool.


    On their way to Mangya Mountain, where they must pass through the Mangya Ancient Road.


    There are several Divine Transformation Stage cultivators lying in ambush, and these Divine Transformation Stage cultivatorsare holding Void Refinement Stage talismans.


    What do they want to do?


    "Sect Master."


    Jun Dongjin sighed lightly in his heart.


    Jun Dongjin knew that these people were definitely not arranged by the Sect Master.


    If the Sect Master wanted to kill him, there was no need to be so troublesome; directly suppressing him with the Taihao Mirror would suffice, so why waste a Void Refinement Stage talisman?


    But it''s not the Sect Master''s doing, it''s the Mu Family''s doing.


    Moreover, it is the high-ranking members of the Mu Family, otherwise it would be impossible to bring out a Void Refinement Stage talisman left by a Mu Family ancestor.


    "Mu Mengting wants to kill me at all costs?"


    Jun Dongjin felt a little disheartened for a while.


    He admits that he and Mu Mengting have apetitive rtionship, and they often have opposing opinions as disciples of the Sect. But that''s just on the surface. It''s normal for disciples of the Sect to disagree. However, now, Mu Mengting is directly taking action.


    In the high sky.


    The Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect, Mu Qingliu, utilized the Taihao Mirror to descend in his mirror light incarnation, gazing solemnly at Lin Yuan.


    Through their brief exchange just now, Mu Qingliu deduced that the strength of the person in front of him was at least at the peak of the Void Cave Realm. (This is the second stage of the Void Refinement Realm)


    It''s important to note that although he wasn''t appearing in his true form, this area was still within the range of the Central Divine Continent, shrouded by the power of the Taihao Mirror.


    For a mirror light incarnation brought by the Taihao Mirror, at least a cultivator at the Void Cave Realm would be required to withstand it.


    And just now, Lin Yuan effortlessly blocked that strike, indicating that he possessed at least the battle power of the peak of the Void Cave Realm.


    "Who exactly are you?" Mu Qingliu stared at Lin Yuan, and from his aura, Lin Yuan seemed very simr to the Ghost Emperor of the Ghost Pce.


    Both possessed the power of Yin.


    However, Mu Qingliu keenly noticed the differences.


    Compared to the Ghost Emperor, Lin Yuan''s aura was much purer, as if he were the embodiment of infinite Yin power.


    "Who I am is not important."


    "It''s just that the internal struggles within your Daoist Immortal Sect are quite interesting."


    Lin Yuan nced at the several Divine Transformation Stage cultivatorstrembling below and the Jade Carriage artifact parked in the distance.


    "Internal struggles?" Mu Qingliu sighed inwardly.


    From the moment he sensed the aura of the Void Refinement Stage talisman, he had already spected about the situation.


    Mu Qingliu never expected that Mu Mengting''s capacity for tolerance would be so low that even after he had arranged for Jun Dongjin''s family to be transferred far away from the core of the Sect to Mangya Mountain, Mu Mengting still harbored such fear and was willing to take action midway.


    "This is an internal matter of our Daoist Immortal Sect, it has nothing to do with you."


    Mu Qingliu said calmly.


    In fact, he had been paying attention to Jun Dongjin''s whereabouts all along. Even if Lin Yuan hadn''t intervened, Mu Qingliu would have sensed it when those Divine Transformation Stage cultivatorsactivated the Void Refinement Stage talisman.


    For Mu Qingliu, what he was concerned about was the overall situation of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    Jun Dongjin''s rare talents meant that even if he couldn''t be the Sect Master, he could still be highly valued. Therefore, he absolutely couldn''t die.


    In fact, whether or not one bes the Sect Master is not the most important thing. As long as one can enter the Void Cave Realm and wield a sect-sealing artifact, they will be invincible in this world.


    As for whether one ultimately achieves the ''Refinement Realm'', ''Void Cave Realm'', or ''Etherealization Realm'', there is no essential difference.


    This is also the reason why, despite knowing that Jun Dongjin''s talents exceeded Mu Mengting''s, Mu Qingliu still chose thetter.


    Mu Mengting also possessed the talent of a Heavenly Spirit Root, and coupled with the many resources within the Sect, such as the Nine Heavens Lustrous Water and other treasures, breaking through to the Void Cave Realm would not be a problem.


    In short.


    The talent advantage that Jun Dongjin possesses is not indispensable.


    But the advantage that Mu Mengting possesses,ing from the Mu Family, is something Jun Dongjin does not have.


    If the Mu Family of this generation did not have talented disciples like Mu Mengting, Mu Qingliu would definitely choose to cultivate Jun Dongjin as the Sect Master for the future of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    "Openly interfering in the affairs of our Sect, I just want to see what confidence you have."


    Mu Qingliu raised his right hand, and a projection of the sect-sealing artifact, the Taihao Mirror, appeared.


    The true body of Mu Qingliu and the true body of the Taihao Mirror were stationed at the Daoist Immortal Mountain and could not easilye out.


    But the mirror light incarnation and the projection of the sect-sealing artifact could descend to any location in the world.


    Especially within the range of the Central Divine Continent, they could retain the power of the Void Cave Realm.


    Boom.


    In an instant.


    Mu Qingliu struck again.


    "Go to the Nine Heavens."


    Lin Yuan''s figure disappeared, and when he reappeared, he had already crossed tens of thousands of meters and arrived at the high sky.


    When Ancient Saints at this level fought, they would always choose the Nine Heavens as their battlefield.


    The space here was more vast, allowing Ancient Saints to unleash their full power.


    To the north of the Divine Continent.


    In the Blood Demon Sea.


    On a small ind in the depths.


    The Lord of the Blood Demons'' expression changed slightly.


    "Two Ancient Saints are fighting in the Nine Heavens?"


    The Lord of the Blood Demons looked up and nced in a certain direction.


    A strike from an Ancient Saint could shake the heavens and the earth, let alone when two Ancient Saints were fighting?


    This kind of aura fluctuation might not be felt by lower-level cultivators, but at the Void Cave Realm, it was basically as easy as turning over one''s hand to observe, and there would be no omissions.


    "Is it that old guy, Mu Qingliu? Shouldn''t it just be a mirror light incarnation? Even though it''s only a mirror light incarnation, it still has the battle power of the peak of the Void Cave Realm. Who dares to fight Mu Qingliu here?"


    The Lord of the Blood Demons found it hard to believe.


    Normally, no Void Refinement Stage Ancient Saint would be willing to fight Mu Qingliu within the range of the Central Divine Continent.


    Because that''s simply not a normal battle.


    With Mu Qingliu wielding the sect-sealing artifact, he is invincible in the world, with battle power that exceeds the limits of the Void Cave Realm.


    As for the mirror light incarnation, it would indeed be weaker, but what''s the point of fighting it? If one wins at a great cost, Mu Qingliu would only lose an avatar, and with the power of the Town-Controlling Immortal Artifact, it would recover in half an hour.


    If one were to lose, they would be chased by the Mirror Light Avatar, which would be a humiliation for an Ancient Saint.


    "This aura, the power of the Yin, is it that old guy Ghost Emperor?"


    "Wasn''t Ghost Emperor quite cowardly before? Howe he''s so brave this time?" The Blood Demon Lord''s expression was puzzled.


    In the Nest of the Beast Demon Saints.


    The giant monkey demon saint also sensed the fluctuations of the Ancient Saints'' battle.


    "Rare indeed."


    "That old guy Ghost Emperor actually made a move this time?"


    The monkey demon saint clicked its tongue in surprise. For beings like them, there wasn''t much enjoyment left, but battles between beings of the same level were certainly worth paying attention to.


    In the southern part of the Divine Continent.


    The Ghost Pce.


    The skinny man sat upright on the throne.


    Feeling the fluctuations of the Ancient Saints'' battle, he fell into contemtion.


    The skinny man frowned, feeling that the Ancient Saint who fought against Mu Qingliu did indeed have some simrities to him.


    But only some.


    The power wielded by Ghost cultivators included Yin energy, but also included the deathly aura of the underworld.


    The thin and withered man immediately contacted the Blood Demon Lord and the Demon Saint of the Nest of Beasts, clearly stating that he hadn''t fought Mu Qingliu and inquired about the identity of the ancient sage who had.


    Cloud Mist Blessed Land.


    Lin Yuanzily reclined on the rooftop of the mountain.


    At the same time, he was keeping an eye on the situation at the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    Cloud Mist Blessed Land was not far from the Daoist Immortal Sect, only tens of thousands of miles away, well within Lin Yuan''s current perception range.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan faintly sensed that the atmosphere at the Daoist Immortal Sect was changing.


    Mu Qingliu held the Sect-Preserving Immortal Artifact in his hand, intending to take his original body''s Immortal Artifact to the Nine Heavens.


    Consciousness synchronization.


    At the Ninth Heaven.


    Lin Yuan nced in the direction of the Daoist Immortal Sect, forced Mu Qingliu back with a strike, dispersed his figure, turning into strands of Yin force, and vanished between heaven and earth.


    "Escaped?"


    Mu Qingliu''s face darkened.


    He was just about to reunite with his true body to deliver a fatal blow to that mysterious ancient sage, but the opponent escaped?


    "Is it a coincidence, or..."


    Mu Qingqiu''s expression was grave, and his figure also disappeared.


    The battle between Lin Yuan and Mu Qingliu had a significant impact on the Central Divine Continent, and even on the Blood Demon Sea, the Ghost Pce, and the Beast East Sea.


    This was a battle between ancient sages, something that hadn''t happened in many years.


    Void Refinement Stage ancient sages were rare throughout the world, and coupled with the pressure from the Daoist Immortal Sect, ancient sages rarely made a move.


    Not to mention that one of the parties involved in this battle was Mu Qingliu, the Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    East Sea.


    White Jade Ind.


    Many disciples of White Jade Ind were also discussing the battle between the ancient sages.


    "Have you heard?"


    "On the Ninth Heaven of the Central Divine Continent, there was a battle between ancient sages not long ago."


    "Ancient sages? Void Refinement Stage ancient sages? My god, such existences are also fighting?"


    "I''m not sure, but one of the Void Refinement Stage ancient sages who fought is none other than the Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect, who has already reached the Void Cave Realm."


    "I heard that the Ninth Heaven where the two ancient sages fought had torn winds, and the killing intent of the ancient sages still hasn''t dissipated. Even ordinary Divine Transformations cultivators dare not approach."


    "That''s a Void Refinement Stage ancient sage. It''s fortunate that the battle took ce in the Ninth Heaven. If it were in the Central Divine Continent, hmm..."


    "A Void Refinement Stage ancient sage, hmm. I wonder when we''ll have the chance to see such a powerful being."


    On White Jade Ind, many disciples whispered to each other as they rested, their tones revealing their longing.


    In the core area of White Jade Ind.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    The conversations of the ind''s disciples naturally couldn''t escape his notice.


    Lin Yuan slowly stood up, walked outside, and casually sat on a giant rock, ncing in the direction of the Daoist Immortal Sect on the Central Divine Continent, and smiled faintly.


    "Interesting."

    ...


    "Just the sect-suppressing immortal artifact."


    Lin Yuan''s expression became slightly serious.


    So far, Lin Yuan had encountered the Taihao Mirror twice.


    The first time was during the Ceremony, when Lin Yuan apanied his parents to Daoist Immortal Mountain to congratte Mu Qingliu.


    During that time, Lin Yuan''s Yang Spirit destroyed the power of the ck Veil Archipgo, causing theyout of the Daoist Immortal Sect to fail, which angered Mu Qingliu. He directly activated the Taihao Mirror and descended in person on the Eastern Sea Inds.


    The second time was not long ago, when Lin Yuan, using his Yin Spirit, fought against the incarnation of Mirror Light for a while, feeling the true power of the Taihao Mirror.


    Through these two encounters, Lin Yuan concluded that the level of the Taihao Mirror''s Immortal Realm should surpass the Void Refinement Stage.


    It is a treasure of the Harmony Dao Period (an ancient era) beyond the Void Refinement Stage.


    The Harmony Dao Period has already surpassed the limits of this world.


    Only the legendary ''Spirit Realm'' possesses such immense power.


    "Spirit Realm."


    Lin Yuan''s expression fell into brief contemtion.


    ording to rumors, the Daoist Immortal Sect holds the ''Ascension tform'' leading to the Spirit Realm.


    Throughout the generations, after presiding over the Daoist Immortal Sect for ten to twenty thousand years, the Sect Masters disappear without a trace, supposedly ascending to the legendary Spirit Realm through the ''Ascension tform''.


    Of course, this saying has no evidence, and probably only the Sect Masters of the Daoist Immortal Sect know the truth.


    Perhaps the Void Refinement Ghost King of the Nether Ghost Pce, the Blood Demon Lord of the Blood Demon Sea, and the Demon Saint of the Demon Saint''s Nest also know some secrets.


    "It doesn''t matter."


    "As long as I am given another two hundred years, cultivating to the peak of the sixth rank, or even breaking through to the seventh rank, any secrets will no longer be secrets in front of me."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    Now he doesn''t need to inquire about the secrets of the ''Spirit Realm'' or ''Ascension''.


    It''s meaningless.


    It''s better to focus all his time on cultivation.


    First, be invincible.


    Daoist Immortal Sect.


    Master Mu Qingliu sits high above.


    Mu Mengting kneels below, his face pale, filled with fear.


    He never expected that even after using the precious Void Refinement Stage talisman inherited from the Mu family, he still failed to kill Jun Dongjin.


    Not only did he fail to kill him, but the Master sensed it firsthand.


    Now, not only did he waste an incredibly precious Void Refinement Stage talisman, but Jun Dongjin also didn''t die.


    This means that Mu Mengting is not the only candidate to inherit the sect.


    Mu Qingliu still has other choices, such as reusing Jun Dongjin.


    If so, it means that Mu Mengting ispletely out of favor with the Master.


    "Do you know where you went wrong?"


    Mu Qingliu looked at Mu Mengting, disappointment evident in his eyes.


    He didn''t expect Mu Mengting tock suchposure and discretion.


    "Master, I shouldn''t have acted against my fellow disciples, shouldn''t haveid hands on Jun Dongjin." Mu Mengting immediately admitted his mistake.


    Since Master Mu Qingliu called him alone and personally mentioned this matter, Mu Mengting realized that his little actions couldn''t be concealed anymore.


    In that case.


    It''s better to admit the mistake frankly.


    Maybe there''s still a turning point.


    After all, his rtionship with Master Mu Qingliu is far from simple.


    "That''s not it."


    "You''re wrong because you acted too early."


    "And too hastily."


    Mu Qingliu looked at Mu Mengting and said calmly.


    When he inherited the position of Sect Master, he also used some means. Mu Mengting''s behavior of prematurely eliminatingpetitors is not umon; it''s something Mu Qingliu had done in the past.


    However.


    There should be a bottom line to such behavior.


    Jun Dongjin being transferred out of Daoist Immortal Mountain was already far from the center of power, and his abilities were good, with a clear distinction between public and private matters. Keeping him alive would be far more useful than killing him.


    "Huh?"


    Mu Mengting looked puzzled.


    He originally thought that the Master would reprimand his actions, but he didn''t expect him to think he acted too hastily.


    "When you reach the Void Refinement Stage, you will realize how ridiculous those past struggles were. Whether it''s Jun Dongjin or anyone else, they are all pawns in your hands. Killing them is equivalent to weakening your own strength."


    Mu Qingliu said calmly.


    This was his greatest realization after stepping into the Void Refinement Stage.


    Standing at the height of the ancient saints, some of his past behaviors seemedughable. With absolute power, everything is subordinate.


    "I..."


    Mu Mengting widened his eyes.


    When Master Mu Qingliu mentioned ''when he reaches the Void Refinement Stage'', Mu Mengting''s whole body trembled.


    What did the Master mean by this? What does it mean to wait for him to step into the Void Refinement Stage?


    "The order to transfer Dongjin to Mangya Mountain, don''t you see, I have chosen you as the next Sect Master?"


    Mu Qingliu said calmly.


    "Master."


    Mu Mengting was extremely excited.


    Indeed.


    When Jun Dongjin received the transfer order.


    He did think that Jun Dongjin had been excluded from the list of candidates for Sect Master.


    But Mu Mengting only dared to think like this and couldn''t be sure if his thoughts were true or false.


    What if Jun Dongjin was only transferred for a short time and returned soon?


    So.


    For safety''s sake, Mu Mengting decided to take a risk.


    On the high seat, Mu Qingliu looked at the excited Mu Mengting, feeling a sigh in his heart once again.


    Mu Mengting is indeed not as good as Jun Dongjin.


    But who made Mu Mengting his offspring?


    Actually.


    With the foundation of the Daoist Immortal Sect for tens of thousands of years.


    It doesn''t make much difference who bes the Sect Master.


    Even if Jun Dongjin bes the Sect Master, it''s impossible topletely suppress the Blood Demon Sea, Nether Ghost Pce, and Demon Saint''s Nest.


    Even if Mu Mengting falls short, if he bes the Sect Master, he won''t be able to greatly reduce the power of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    The solid strength of the Daoist Immortal Sect is there.


    Even if it''s a pig, bing the Sect Master, as long as it has the cultivation of the Void Refinement Stage and wields the Taihao Mirror, it can still dominate the world.


    In this world, the Daoist Immortal Sect is the dominant force.


    "Do you still want to kill Dongjin now?" Mu Qingliu nced at Mu Mengting and asked.


    "No, Master. I can swear that I won''ty a hand on Jun Dongjin," Mu Mengting said without hesitation.


    As long as he can be a Void Refinement Ancient Saint, as long as he can be the Sect Master of the sect, what does Jun Dongjin matter? At this moment, Mu Mengting faintly understood the ''attitude'' mentioned by Mu Qingliu. Even Jun Dongjin, who he once regarded as a major threat, would eventually be used by him to guard the sect''s legacy.


    In this situation, Mu Mengting weed more talents like Jun Dongjin. Why bother with killing?


    "Jun Wuji is Dongjin''s youngest son, without spiritual roots. He rarely leaves the Cloud Mist Blessed Land and poses no threat to you," Mu Qingliu reiterated.


    "Master, you underestimate me too much. How could I possiblyy a hand on Wuji?" Mu Mengting said seriously.


    This is indeed true.


    In these years, Mu Mengting feared Jun Dongjin, and even Mu Lian''er, Jun Xiaoyao, and Jun Zhn. He feared even the younger generation. But he never feared Jun Wuji, a waste without spiritual roots. So Mu Mengting never did anything to the Cloud Mist Blessed Land. Because there was simply no need.


    "Good. Wuji is also pitiable," Mu Qingliu nodded slightly.


    Regardless of anything, he is still Jun Wuji''s grandfather. Knowing that Jun Wuji has no spiritual roots since childhood, although no one dares to bully him, his heart is extremely sensitive. Otherwise, how could a normal person hide in the Cloud Mist Blessed Land for decades withouting out once?


    "As long as Wuji is there, the Cloud Mist Blessed Land is his, and no one can touch him," Mu Mengting assured immediately.


    "In that case," Mu Qingliu nodded slightly, e with me. I''ll show you the biggest secret of our Daoist Immortal Sect."


    In the bordends between the wilderness and the centralnd, there is a mysterious Void Refinement practitioner. And not long ago, there was a mysterious Ancient Saint whose strength was at the peak of the Void Refinement Stage and emanated the power of Yin.


    These two seemingly newly emerged Void Refinement Ancients added anotheryer of pressure to Mu Qingliu''s heart. The pressure here doesn''t refer to the destruction of the Daoist Immortal Sect or anything like that, but the worry that these Void Refinement Ancients, along with those three old guys, might once again start a major war in the centralnd of the Divine Continent.


    Admittedly, no matter the scale of the war, it won''t affect the rule of the Daoist Immortal Sect. With Daoist Immortal Mountain and the Taihao Mirror, the sect is as solid as a rock.


    But it''s still nauseating. It''s like there were already three flies flying around, and now a few more have appeared out of nowhere. And a battle at the level of Ancient Saints can easily shatter the centralnd of Divine Continent, which the Daoist Immortal Sect has long considered its own.


    Therefore, the Daoist Immortal Sect must quickly have a second Void Refinement Ancient. Two Void Refinement Ancients, one to guard Daoist Immortal Mountain, and one to wield the Taihao Immortal Realm and eliminate any potential enemies.


    Mangya Mountain.


    Jun Dongjin, Mu Lian''er, Jun Xiaoyao, and Jun Zhn gathered in a cave.


    "We may not be able to return in a short time," Jun Dongjin sighed.


    Now he also realizes that the Master''s decision to transfer him away from Daoist Immortal Mountain was paving the way for Mu Mengting. In other words, the future Ancient Saint Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect has already been confirmed.


    That would be Mu Mengting.


    His future depends on Mu Mengting''s decision.


    "Father," Mu Lian''er looked downcast.


    Mu Qingliu ultimately chose a member of the Mu family as the Sect Master.


    This decision was somewhat expected, after all, humans have emotions. Even a Void Refinement Ancient cannot be absolutely fair.


    Abandoning Jun Dongjin and choosing Mu Mengting is not surprising.


    "It''s fortunate that Wuji didn''te with us to suffer," Jun Zhn said softly.


    The Cloud Mist Blessed Land has the effect of prolonging life. Jun Wuji has no spiritual roots, and the family''s cultivation methods do not provide much enhancement to his lifespan. So staying in the Cloud Mist Blessed Land, Jun Wuji can live for at least a few hundred years. If he takes some longevity pills or the like, he might even live for thousands of years. But if he leaves the Cloud Mist Blessed Land and follows them to Mangya Mountain, his lifespan will definitely be greatly reduced, down to the level of a normal person.


    Time passed slowly.


    A hundred years had passed in the blink of an eye.


    During these hundred years, the situation in Divine Continent gradually became turbulent. The Blood Demon Sea, the Demon Saint''s Nest, and the Nether Ghost Pce secretly joined forces, intending to start another major war in Divine Continent.


    The only disappointment for them was that the two mysterious Ancient Saints who had appeared before never showed up again. One was a body-refining Ancient Saint, and the other was a Yin Dao Ancient Saint. If they could unite these two Ancient Saints, their chances of starting a major war in Divine Continent would be greatly increased.


    The Cloud Mist Blessed Land.


    In a secluded chamber.


    "Finally," Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, a smile appearing on his face.


    In the past hundred years, besides regr cultivation and enlightenment, Lin Yuan had been trying toprehend the essence of the body divine ability¡ªBlood Rebirth. This fleshly technique is extremelyplex, involving many aspects, even with Lin Yuan''s unparalleled insight.


    It also took a hundred years of consumption before he barelyprehended it.


    "In this way, even if I return to the main world, I can still use this technique," Lin Yuan''s mind was delighted.


    The Blood Rebirth technique is extremely effective in terms of survival, so the more such methods, the better.


    "It''s just a pity that this technique cannot be poprized. It operates differently ording to each person''s physique."


    "I spent a hundred years using the physique of the main world as a temte toprehend the ''Blood Rebirth'' technique, so it can only be used on the physique of the main world," Lin Yuan said with some regret.


    He originally nned to sell this technique to the Goddess of Wisdom, but now it seems that it probably won''t work.


    Although Lin Yuan was somewhat disappointed, he quickly adjusted.


    The higher and more powerful the supernatural talent, the greater the restrictions.


    In the universe of the main world, certain special secret inheritance techniques have ''uniqueness''.


    In other words, in the same era, only one life can master such secret inheritance.


    This is the ironw of the main world, even if youprehend such secret inheritance, you cannot use it.


    Blood Demon Sea.


    The Lord of the Blood Demon sat on a small ind deep inside.


    "It''s been over a hundred thousand years, and we can finally start another major war in Divine Continent," the Lord of the Blood Demon said excitedly.


    One hundred and twenty thousand years ago, he, along with the Demon Saint''s Nest and the Nether Ghost Pce, started a major war in Divine Continent.


    But they were defeated miserably, and it was only in the recent thousands of years that they recovered.


    "The Daoist Immortal Sect upies the ''Ascension tform'', forcing us to stay in this world," muttered the Lord of the Blood Demon to himself.


    "Master."


    At this moment, a blood-colored figure condensed from the Blood Demon Sea, bowing respectfully to the Lord of the Blood Demon.


    "The Central Land of Divine Continent is covered with formationsid down by the Daoist Immortal Sect. To minimize losses when invading the Central Land of Divine Continent, we need to find out the specific locations of these formations and other details."


    The blood-colored figure spoke softly.


    "How do you n to do it?" the Lord of the Blood Demon asked directly.


    "The knowledge of these formations in the Daoist Immortal Sect is limited, and one of the people who knows is Jun Dongjin," the blood-colored figure hinted.


    Over the past hundred years, it has be no secret that Jun Dongjin was transferred to Mangya Mountain.


    The next Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect is almost certainly going to be Mu Mengting.


    Jun Dongjin has be an abandoned pawn of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    "I believe that Jun Dongjin can be won over. As long as he can be useful to us, invading the Central Land of Divine Continent will be much easier," the blood-colored figure continued.


    "Right," the Lord of the Blood Demon nodded slightly.


    He can specte that Jun Dongjin probably has grievances against the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    Now is the time to win him over.


    "But one thing to note."


    "Jun Dongjin cannot be won over directly."


    "There must be a hidden hand near Mangya Mountain from the Daoist Immortal Sect."


    The Lord of the Blood Demon spoke.


    "Master, do you mean..."


    The blood-colored figure asked softly.


    "Go to win over Jun Dongjin''s son, Jun Wuji."


    "Then, through Jun Wuji, win over Jun Dongjin. Only then can we ensureplete sess without the Daoist Immortal Sect noticing anything unusual."


    The Lord of the Blood Demon said.


    "Master, you are wise."


    The blood-colored figure admired and pondered for a while, deeply impressed.


    Directly winning over Jun Dongjin is indeed too risky.


    Jun Dongjin, as a former high-ranking member of the Daoist Immortal Sect, surely has many means of protection even if he is not being used now.


    If they try to win over Jun Dongjin directly, it is undoubtedly telling the Daoist Immortal Sect what they intend to do.


    On the contrary, Jun Dongjin''s son has a much lower profile.


    Moreover, the Cloud Mist Blessed Land is right next to the Daoist Immortal Sect, so the principle of hiding one''s actions in the dark is significant. It is likely that even the Daoist Immortal Sect itself would not expect them to have any designs on Jun Wuji.


    "Remember."


    "Treat Jun Wuji, you must not use forceful methods, but rather small threats or promises of great benefits."


    The Lord of the Blood Demon cautioned.


    At the same time, he opened his palm, and a blood-red crystal appeared.


    "With this, you can temporarily avoid the surveince of the Taihao Mirror," the Lord of the Blood Demon said.


    For hundreds of thousands of years, he has fought with the Daoist Immortal Sect many times.


    Naturally, the Lord of the Blood Demon has umted some means of guarding against the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    Especially that Taihao Mirror.


    However.


    The means to evade the surveince of the Taihao Mirror require a great price from the Lord of the Blood Demon.


    And there are many restrictions.


    It cannot be widely poprized.


    Cloud Mist Blessed Land.


    On the top floor of the pavilion.


    Lin Yuany back in his chair, basking in the sun leisurely.


    "You may leave now," Lin Yuan waved his hand.


    "Yes."


    Chunhua and Qiuyue bowed and left.


    It''s not clear how long passed.


    A blood-colored figure appeared silently in the shadow of the pavilion.


    "Jun Wuji."


    The blood-colored figure walked up to Lin Yuan, its voice hoarse and deep.


    "I know your big secret."


    The blood-colored figure stared at Jun Wuji.


    "Big secret?"


    Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.


    He had long sensed the presence of the blood-colored figure.


    The fact that the figure could infiltrate Divine Continent and the Cloud Mist Blessed Land came from the special aura emanating from it.


    Originally, Lin Yuan wanted to see if there was anything special about the blood-colored figure''s infiltration, but he was surprised to hear the figure confessing to knowing his big secret.


    "Big secret?"


    "Which big secret are you referring to?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression turned serious as he asked.


    "Which big secret?"


    The blood-colored figure was a bit bewildered.


    Does this Jun Wuji have many secrets? Which big secret?

    ...


    "Jun Wuji, are you kidding me?"


    The blood-red figure sneered, feeling that Jun Wuji was just putting on airs. He had been tasked by the Blood Demon Lord to recruit Jun Wuji, intending to use him to sway Jun Dongjin, a former high-ranking member of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    Jun Dongjin had been abandoned by the Daoist Immortal Sect, undoubtedly harboring resentment. As long as the Blood Demon Sea paid a high enough price, the chances of sess were high.


    To ensure Jun Dongjin''splete defection, there could be no coercion involved in recruiting Jun Wuji. Otherwise, if Jun Dongjin saw how the Blood Demon Sea treated his son, how could he remain loyal?


    So, coercion was out of the question. Only promises of great rewards or semi-coercive tactics could be employed.


    Before infiltrating the Central Divine Continent, the blood-red figure had carefully reviewed all information rted to Jun Wuji. And it was during this process that he stumbled upon a secret.


    A secret rted to Jun Wuji.


    "I genuinely want to know what big secret you''re referring to," Lin Yuan said earnestly. With so many secrets to his name, he couldn''t immediately pinpoint which one the blood-red figure was referring to.


    Was it from a hundred or two hundred years ago, when he effortlessly annihted several Divine Transformation cultivators and dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators of the Daoist Immortal Sect?


    Or was it when he became a rare Body Cultivator in the Central Divine Continent for hundreds of thousands of years and crushed the Crown Prince of the Demon Saint Nest, who dared challenge even the Ancient Saints?


    Or perhaps it was when he fought against the Daoist Immortal Sect''s Sect Master, Mu Qingliu, in the Nine Heavens and escaped unscathed?


    Additionally, there was also the matter of the Eastern Sea''s Ind Master, who was not publicly known to be a half-step Ancient Saint.


    "Hmph," the blood-red figure huffed, expecting to see Jun Wuji''s shock and panic upon revealing his secret. He even anticipated the possibility of Jun Wuji resorting to murder to keep it quiet. All of these reactions were within the blood-red figure''s calctions.


    But he was disappointed. He didn''t see any change in Jun Wuji''s expression.


    How could this be?


    The blood-red figure''s thoughts were in disarray.


    "Are there any other secrets?" Lin Yuan asked patiently.


    "Isn''t this secret enough?" the blood-red figure raised his voice, feeling uneasy about Jun Wuji''sck of reaction. Concealing his Divine Trasnformation-stage cultivation level, once exposed, would undoubtedly attract Mu Mengting''s attention.


    What would happen then, no one could predict.


    The blood-red figure''s original n was to manipte Jun Wuji with this secret.


    "Jun Wuji, as long as you''re willing to work for us, Mu Mengting won''t be able to touch you. And my master will grant you a lifespan far beyond those of ordinary cultivators," the blood-red figure said, sensing that the situation was not going as nned and immediately changing tactics.


    Recruiting Jun Wuji couldn''t rely solely on threats. Promising great rewards was also necessary. And in this case, the reward was extended lifespan.


    It was well-known that the lifespan of Body Cultivators was far inferior to that of cultivators.


    But the Blood Demon Lord could transform Jun Wuji into a "Blood Godson," bound to the Blood Demon Sea, with an incredibly long lifespan. And the life and death of a Blood Godson were solely at the whim of the Blood Demon Lord.


    Jun Wuji bing a Blood Godson would meanplete integration into the Blood Demon Sea, making betrayal impossible.


    "I must have been mistaken," Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. The blood-red figure came from the Blood Demon Sea, which Lin Yuan had long since detected. Initially, he thought the figure knew something significant, but now it seemed he had overestimated them.


    Even the nearby Daoist Immortal Sect hadn''t detected his true identity.


    The Blood Demon Sea, located far to the north of the Divine Continent, couldn''t do much.


    "Let me see what the Blood Demon Lord is up to," Lin Yuan said, turning his gaze to the blood-red figure. He had engaged in this conversation primarily out of concern that the figure might have uncovered something. Now that he was sure they knew nothing, he was ready to act.


    Upon hearing this, the blood-red figure felt a sense of confusion in his mind.


    But in the next moment, he felt his consciousness rapidly plummeting.


    Boom.


    Bursts of blood-red light exploded all over him.


    Clearly, these were survival techniques employed by the blood-red figure.


    Daring to infiltrate the Central Divine Continent, infiltrating the Cloud Mist Blessed Land.


    How could the blood-red figure not have any trump cards?


    However, all of his trump cards, all of his survival techniques, even the blood-red crystal bestowed by the Blood Demon Lord, quickly copsed.


    "You?"


    As the consciousness of the blood-red figurepletely sank, he looked at Lin Yuan with endless horror.


    Wrong.


    He was wrong.


    The Blood Demon Lord was also wrong.


    Everyone was wrong.


    Jun Wuji, who they saw as mere cannon fodder, was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.


    Even the blood-red crystal bestowed by the Blood Demon Lord couldn''t withstand a momentary strike.


    He, Jun Wuji, at the very least, he was on the level of an Ancient Saint.


    After a few breaths, Lin Yuan finished browsing through the memories of the blood-red figure.


    "So, the n was to start a war in the Central Divine Continent," Lin Yuan roughly understood the Blood Demon Lord''s scheme.


    "Blood Demon Sea, Demon Saint Nest, Ghost Pce, why do these ancient Void Refinement Stage Cultivators repeatedly want tounch a great war in the cultivation world?"


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    The Daoist Immortal Sect, reigning over the Central Divine Continent with the Taihao Mirror suppressing it, couldn''t be fundamentally harmed by any kind of war.


    Blood Demon Sea.


    On a small ind deep within, the Blood Demon Lord suddenly opened his eyes.


    "Dead?"


    "Dead so quickly?"


    The Blood Demon Lord found it hard to believe.


    With the backup he had on the blood-red figure, even if he was discovered by the Daoist Immortal Sect, he could have held out for a while.


    "Could it be that Mu Qingliu used the Taihao Mirror?" The Blood Demon Lord could only think in this direction.


    Cloud Mist Blessed Land.


    Lin Yuan stilly on the recliner.


    After dealing with the blood-red figure, Lin Yuan pondered a question.


    "My current strength."


    After a hundred years of cultivation, aside from mastering the fleshly divine ability ''Blood Rebirth,'' Lin Yuan had made significant progress in martial arts as well, advancing the martial cultivation system to the sixth rank and eleventh stage.


    In the main world and the immortal realm, the cultivation levels were matched. The sixth rank corresponded to the Void Refinement Stage.


    And the Void Refinement Stage was further divided into the Refinement Realm, the Void Cave Realm and the Etherealization Realm.


    The Refinement Realm corresponded to the first to third stages of the sixth rank.


    Void Cave Realm corresponded to the fourth to sixth stages of the sixth rank.


    Etherealization Realm corresponded to the seventh to ninth stages of the sixth rank.


    Lin Yuan was currently at the sixth rank and eleventh stage. Although he hadn''t reached the peak of the sixth rank, his realm had already surpassed the limits of the Etherealization Realm.


    Perhaps still not as good as the stage above the Etherealization Realm, but the difference wasn''t that big. At least, he was much stronger than the peak of the Etherealization Realm.


    "Peak of the sixth rank."


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    The twelfth stage of the sixth rank posed no difficulty for him.


    In as little as ten or twenty years, or as long as fifty or sixty years, he could step into it.


    Lin Yuan was thinking about how to enter the seventh rank.


    Whether in the main world or the immortal realm, the transition from the sixth to the seventh rank, and from Etherealization Realm to the stage above, was a major threshold.


    In the Red Kun Star Domain of the main world, with 1.2 million life-bearings umted over hundred of thousands of years.


    The number of sixth rank cultivators exceeded one hundred thousand.


    But even if the three senior brothers of the Red Kun Star were counted, the number of seventh rank evolvers would not exceed a hundred.


    Even on the so-called meat grinder battlefield of the alien race, seventh rank evolvers couldmand an army, be it a general, a marquis, or a king.


    Daoist Immortal Sect.


    A vast breath suddenly emerged from the deepest part of the Daoist Moral Realm.


    Inside the secret realm.


    Mu Mengting''s face lit up with joy.


    "The Void Refinement Stage, this is the Void Refinement Stage, this is an Ancient Saint!!"


    Mu Mengting felt thepletely transformed energy within him, and for a moment, his ambitions soared.


    He, Mu Mengting, also had today.


    He also had the day to be an Ancient Saint!


    "Master."


    Mu Mengting took a deep breath.


    Calming down his excitement.


    He walked out of the secret realm and respectfully said to Mu Qingliu.


    Although he had entered the Void Refinement Stage, Mu Mengting knew that he still had a huge gappared to the Sect Master, Mu Qingliu.


    This gap didn''te from strength.


    But from the sect''s treasure, the Taihao Mirror.


    Even if Mu Mengting had reached the peak of the Void Refinement Stage, facing Mu Qingliu who controlled the Taihao Mirror in the depths of the Daoist Immortal Mountain, he would be instantly suppressed.


    The Taihao Mirror was not only a powerful immortal artifact, but also the hub of the entire Daoist ImmortalMountain''s countless formations and methods.


    "Get up."


    Mu Qingliu looked at Mu Mengting, a smile appearing on his face.


    Although he had long known that with Mu Mengting''s talent and the resources of the Daoist Immortal Sect, crossing into the Void Refinement Stage was no problem.


    But at this moment, Mu Qingliu still breathed a sigh of relief.


    The two of them sat down.


    Mu Qingliu then talked to Mu Mengting about the n for the future.


    "With you sitting in the sect, I n to take the Taihao Mirror out myself."


    "It''s been too long, and many people have forgotten why our Daoist Immortal Sect is able to rule over the Central Divine Continent."


    A hint of coldness appeared on Mu Qingliu''s face.


    For a hundred years, he had been well aware of the movements of the GhostPce, Blood Demon Sea, and Demon Saint Nest. But in order to protect Mu Mengting, he had temporarily ignored them.


    Now that Mu Mengting had entered the Void Refinement Stage and he had him in the sect, Mu Qingliu could go out with peace of mind.


    Although the Daoist Immortal Sect had countless formations guarding it.


    But without an Ancient Saint sitting in the sect, if it were surrounded by other Ancient Saint-level cultivators, it would pay a heavy price.


    This is also the reason why Mu Qingliu has always remained in the Daoist ImmortalMountain over the years.


    As long as he dares to leave the Daoist ImmortalMountain.


    No matter whether he goes to deal with the Blood Demon Sea, the GhostPce, or the Demon Saint Nest.


    The other two factions will definitely make a move against the Daoist ImmortalMountain.


    But now there is no such threat.


    With Mu Mengting, an Ancient Saint, sitting in the sect.


    Even if three to five Ancient Saints besiege, they cannot shake the foundation of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    In this way, Mu Qingliu can also let go and re-establish the prestige of the Daoist Immortal Sect over all living beings.


    "Which faction does the Sect Master n to target first?"


    Mu Mengting asked in a low voice.


    "Which faction?"


    Mu Qingliu pondered for a moment, "Let''s start with the Eastern Sea."


    In the past hundred years, the development of the White Jade Pavilion in the Eastern Sea has been extremely rapid, and it has almost unified the Eastern Sea inds.


    Moreover, the ind lord of the White Jade Ind, Yuan Yang, is only a half-step Ancient Saint. Over the years, even if the other party has made breakthroughs, they cannot enter the Void Refinement Stage.


    In that case, with Mu Qingliu''s own strength plus the Taihao Mirror, he canpletely kill the other party.


    On the contrary.


    If Mu Qingliu were to first make a move against the GhostPce, the Demon Saint Nest, or the Blood Demon Sea, then the ind lord of the White Jade Ind would probably be scared into hiding once he found out.


    Anyway, the Daoist Immortal Sect has been old rivals with the GhostPce, the Demon Saint Nest, and the Blood Demon Sea.


    Thetter three have special trump cards, so even if Mu Qingliu holds the Taihao Mirror, he can only suppress them, not kill them.


    So making a move against the Eastern Sea is the most in line with Mu Qingliu''s expectations.


    "The Eastern Sea."


    "That ind lord of the White Jade Ind deserves to die."


    Mu Mengting nodded.


    Back then, the ind lord of the White Jade Ind destroyed the ck Veil Inds that he had operated for many years, and he still remembered this grudge.


    "The sect is entrusted to you."


    After saying this, Mu Qingliu''s figure disappeared in the distance.


    Eastern Sea.


    White Jade Ind.


    Hundreds of thousands of White Jade Pavilion disciples gathered on the ind.


    In addition, there were arge number of mortals gathering on the White Jade Ind. Although the White Jade Ind was called an ''ind,'' it was nearly two million miles in size, equivalent to several Cann Stars.


    If it weren''t for the vastness of the Central Divine Continent, the White Jade Ind should be called the White Jade Continent.


    In the core area of ??the White Jade Ind.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    Dozens of disciples below were asking questions about cultivation, and Lin Yuan casually answered them.


    A hundred years have passed, and the White Jade Pavilion''s heritage has greatly increased. There are over one hundred thousand first-level cultivators of martial arts, over ten thousand second-level cultivators, over two thousand third-level cultivators, and three hundred and twenty-two fourth-level cultivators.


    Eight fifth-level cultivators.


    It can be said.


    In today''s Eastern Sea inds, the White Jade Pavilion is undoubtedly the first. As long as Lin Yuan is willing, unifying the Eastern Sea inds is easy.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan seemed to sense something.


    He looked up at the sky.


    On the White Jade Ind.


    Countless disciples either gathered together or walked alone, studying and practicing martial arts techniques.


    Suddenly¡ª


    In the nine heavens.


    A mirror emitting terrifying immortal light floated.


    The mirror turned slightly, and a terrifying light descended from the nine heavens.


    The terror of the mirror light even caused the space to faintly freeze, and wherever it passed, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth turned into nothingness.


    It can be foreseen.


    Once this mirror light falls, it will pierce through the entire White Jade Ind, and this sacred ce of cultivation will bepletely destroyed.


    The aftermath of the mirror light will cause all living beings below the Ancient Saint level to perish.


    "What is that?"


    "We must leave quickly."


    "We can''t leave. We will all die."


    Countless White Jade Pavilion disciples looked up at the sky, filled with despair.


    Under the terrifying mirror light, everyone''s only thought was death.


    No matter how they ran.


    It was death.


    Just at this moment.


    A figure appeared in the sky above the White Jade Ind.


    Immediately, the heavens and the earth changed, and the figure, tens of thousands of zhang tall, radiated a powerful sun power like a second sun.


    Just seeing this towering figure, with a wave of his hand, he held the White Jade Ind, which was as big as several Cann Stars, in his palm.

    ...


    On the ninth heaven.


    Mu Qingliu stood with his hands behind his back.


    The Taihao Mirror floated above his head.


    A terrifying beam of light shot downward towards the White Jade Ind.


    At this moment, Mu Qingliu himself had arrived, carrying the true body of the Taihao Mirror.


    In this world, Mu Qingliu was invincible. To erase the White Jade Ind, only one strike was needed.


    "Ind Master Yuan Yang."Mu Qingliu''s eyes were indifferent.


    Ind Master Yuan Yang had reached the half-step Ancient Sage level over a hundred years ago.


    Now, he was probably very close to bing an Ancient Sage, but so what? Without reaching the level of Ancient Sage, he would undoubtedly die under the light of the Taihao Mirror.


    Even if he were an Ancient Sage, unless he was one of the three old Ancient Sages from the Ghost Pce, the Demon Saint''s Nest, or the Blood Demon Sea, he would still be severely injured and killed.


    This was Mu Qingliu''s confidence.


    This was the confidence of the Daoist Immortal Sect''s master, who had ruled the Central Divine Continent for hundreds of thousands of years.


    "Those three old guys must be very afraid now?"


    Mu Qingliu nced in the direction of the other three, nning to ''catch up''.


    In his eyes, the fate of the White Jade Ind beneath his feet was already sealed; it would vanish under the light of the mirror.


    However.


    The next moment.


    Mu Qingliu''s expression changed drastically.


    He suddenly looked down.


    A giant figure that seemed countless miles tall stood towering in front of him.


    With a lift of his hand, he blocked the White Jade Ind, which was over a million miles away.


    When the terrifying beam of light from the Taihao Mirror made contact with the back of that towering figure''s hand, it quickly dissipated and disappearedpletely after several breaths.


    "What''s that?"


    Mu Qingliu''s face was solemn.


    "Ind Master Yuan Yang."


    Mu Qingliu looked at the figure blocking the strike of the Taihao Mirror, whose body quickly returned to its original state, his hands behind his back, his expression extremely unsightly.


    "Void Refinement Ancient Sage."


    "Ancient Sage at the peak of Void Refinement stage."


    "He may have even surpassed the limits of Void Refinement, beginning to explore the stage of beyond it."


    Mu Qingliu judged in his heart.


    The ability to manifest such a huge figure must be an extraordinary divine technique.


    Blocking the strike of the Taihao Mirror without leaving any trace showed an even more unfathomable strength.


    Mu Qingliu never expected that Ind Master Yuan Yang, whom he had long regarded as nothing, would have such terrifying power.


    In the north of Divine Continent.


    On a small ind deep in the Blood Demon Sea.


    Just as Mu Qingliu unleashed the terrifying beam of light with the Taihao Mirror.


    The Blood Demon Lord suddenly opened his eyes, his expression solemn.


    "Mu Qingliu has left the Daoist Immortal Mountain? The Daoist Immortal Sect has produced a second Ancient Sage?"


    The Blood Demon Lord immediately spected on many things.


    "Ind Master Yuan Yangis finished."


    The Blood Demon Lord shook his head slightly.


    When Mu Qingliu left the Daoist Immortal Mountain, the first thing he did was to attack the White Jade Ind, aiming topletely kill the Ind Master Yuan Yang.


    "I told you to join me early, but you insisted on refusing. Now, you''re dead, right?"


    The Blood Demon Lord shook his head slightly.


    A hundred years ago, when Ind Master Yuan Yangupied the White Jade Ind.


    The Blood Demon Lord sent his subordinates to persuade Ind Master Yuan Yangto join him.


    After all, the Blood Demon Sea did not have many forces with thebat power of a half-step Ancient Sage.


    However, Ind Master Yuan Yangdirectly refused at that time.


    And at this moment, in the eyes of the current Blood Demon Lord, Ind Master Yuan Yang''s choice back then was wrong.


    "It''s a pity."


    The Blood Demon Lord shook his head.


    Ind Master Yuan Yang did note from the Daoist Immortal Sect, nor did he have much to do with the Blood Demon Sea, the GhostPce, or the Demon Saint''s Nest.


    Relying solely on himself, he had cultivated to the level of a half-step Ancient Sage. If he had been willing to ept the bestowal of the Blood Demon Lord and transform into a ''Blood God Child'', he might have been able to ascend to the true level of an Ancient Sage in the future.


    "Huh?"


    "Wait a minute?"


    The Blood Demon Lord was just about to contact the other three Ancient Sages, considering how to deal with Mu Qingliu, when suddenly he felt something and widened his eyes.


    "Mu Qingliu''s attack was blocked?"


    The Blood Demon Lord opened his mouth wide. Although he hadn''t witnessed it personally, through sensing the aura, he knew that the terrifying beam of light unleashed by Mu Qingliu did not explode but dissipated into nothingness, while at the same time...


    A terrifying powerparable to the sun gathered.


    "Sun Ancient Sage." (His Yang Spirit nickname, just bestowed to him)


    "Sun Ancient Sage who has almost surpassed the limits of Void Refinement?"


    "How could Ind Master Yuan Yangpossibly have such strength?"


    The Blood Demon Lord found it hard to believe.


    Even if Ind Master Yuan Yanghad broken through to the Void Refinement stage.


    At most, the Blood Demon Lord would be shocked, not as incredulous as he was now.


    Ind Master Yuan Yanghad been a half-step Ancient Sage a hundred years ago, and now breaking through the shackles and entering the Void Refinement stage was not impossible.


    However, at this moment?


    Exceeding the limits of the Void Refinement stage? That''s the level only the Sect Master who holds the Taihao Mirror can reach.


    But Ind Master Yuan Yangachieved it solely by himself?


    How is that possible?


    "We were wrong."


    "We were all wrong."


    "A hundred years ago, Ind Master Yuan Yangwas not even a half-step Ancient Sage."


    The Blood Demon Lord''s thoughts surged.


    He suddenly realized that a hundred years ago, Ind Master Yuan Yanghad never imed to be at the half-step Ancient Sage level.


    The so-called half-step Ancient Sages were all spections from the outside world about Ind Master Yuan Yang.


    "Exceeding the limits of the Void Refinement stage, could it be a mighty being from tens of thousands of years ago?"


    The Blood Demon Lord quickly pondered.


    Initially, he thought that Ind Master Yuan Yangwas a recent powerful figure.


    But based on the disyed strength and power, how could he have cultivated to this level in just a few thousand years?


    The Blood Demon Lord spected that Ind Master Yuan Yangmighte from tens of thousands of years ago.


    Tens of thousands of years ago, the Daoist Immortal Sect was not the undisputed ruler of the Central Divine Continent.


    Tens of thousands of years ago, the ''Ascension tform'' had not yet appeared.


    There were many unimaginable powerhouses in the world, some even surpassing the limits of Void Refinement.


    It wasn''t just the Blood Demon Lord who was shocked.


    Almost at the same time.


    The Ancient Sages of the Demon Saint''s Nest and the GhostPce also sensed Mu Qingliu''s true form wielding the Taihao Mirror.


    But it was easily blocked by Ind Master Yuan Yang.


    "Ind Master Yuan Yang, is he this strong?"


    In the Daoist Immortal Sect, Mu Mengting was also observing the Eastern Sea.


    He wanted to see with his own eyes Ind Master Yuan Yangkneeling and begging for mercy under Mu Qingliu''s suppression.


    But what happened next made his scalp tingle.


    Mu Qingliu, who was invincible while wielding the Taihao Mirror, was actually blocked by Ind Master Yuan Yang?


    On the ninth heaven.


    Mu Qingliu stood with the Taihao Mirror above his head.


    He was caught in a dilemma.


    Originally, Mu Qingliu thought that suppressing Ind Master Yuan Yangwould not encounter any idents.


    That''s why he came to the Eastern Sea and targeted the White Jade Ind first.


    To pick the soft persimmon.


    Compared to the Blood Demon Sea, the Demon Saint''s Nest, and the GhostPce.


    Ind Master Yuan Yangnaturally belonged to the unquestionably soft persimmon category.


    But unexpectedly.


    This ''soft persimmon'' turned out to be the hardest stone in the world.


    For Mu Qingliu, facing Ind Master Yuan Yang, who had reached the limit of the Void Refinement stage and even surpassed it, was absolutely the least desirable.


    The Ghost King of the GhostPce, the Blood Demon Lord of the Blood Demon Sea, and the Demon Saint of the Demon Saint''s Nest, although they had special cards.


    Mu Qingliu could at least defeat them with the Taihao Mirror.


    But facing Ind Master Yuan Yang, Mu Qingliu didn''t even have the confidence to win, let alone suppress him.


    What worried Mu Qingliu even more was...


    If Ind Master Yuan Yangteamed up with the Ghost King, the Blood Demon Lord, and the Demon Saint, the Daoist Immortal Sect would probably face the worst situation in tens of thousands of years.


    "Ind Master Yuan Yang."


    "I think there is a misunderstanding between us."


    Mu Qingliu remained silent for a moment, put away the Taihao Mirror, and secretly transmitted his voice.


    Next, Mu Qingliu exchanged a few more words through voice transmission before turning around and leaving.


    Above the White Jade Ind.


    Lin Yuan stood in mid-air.


    Watching quietly as Mu Qingliu left.


    "Wants to cooperate with me?"


    Lin Yuan pondered the words Mu Qingliu had just transmitted through voice.


    In summary.


    It meant one thing.


    The grudge between the Daoist Immortal Sect and him, Ind Master Yuan Yang, was not irreconcble.


    The two could cooperate.


    As for how to cooperate.


    It could be discussed in detail.


    Central Divine Continent.


    On the ninth heaven.


    Mu Qingliu''s gaze was pensive.


    Gradually.


    Between Ind Master Yuan Yangand the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    There was no irreparable hatred.


    It was just that Ind Master Yuan Yanghad erased the Daoist Immortal Sect''s piece on the Eastern Sea Inds¡ªthe ck Veil Inds.


    But this matter.


    Mu Qingliu could choose to forgive.


    It was just a trivial ck Veil Ind.


    As for his impulsive attack on the White Jade Ind just now, it was indeed reckless, but Mu Qingliu could make up for it in other ways.


    "If I can cooperate with Ind Master Yuan Yang," Mu Qingliu''s heart raced.


    Ind Master Yuan Yangwas an Ancient Sage of the Yang lineage, and he had surpassed the limits of the Void Refinement stage.


    Such an Ancient Sage could easily defeat the strong of the Yin lineage.


    If they joined forces.


    It was entirely possible topletely suppress the GhostPce and the Blood Demon Sea.


    Until today.


    Mu Qingliu had never thought about dealing with the GhostPce and the Blood Demon Sea.


    Because it was difficult to achieve.


    Even with the Taihao Mirror, he couldn''t do it.


    This time, he wielded the Taihao Mirror and left the Daoist Immortal Mountain.


    The purpose was just to suppress those three old guys and make them suffer a bit, to prevent them from having any further ideas.


    That''s all.


    But now.


    Mu Qingliu saw hope.


    "Cloud Mist Blessed Land?"


    Mu Qingliu suddenly stopped.


    His gaze fell on the Cloud Mist Blessed Land below.


    Before leaving just now, he transmitted a few words to Ind Master Yuan Yang, including the possibility of cooperation.


    As for how to cooperate, the two needed to find a ce to discuss it.


    Mu Qingliu finally chose the Cloud Mist Blessed Land for this discussion.


    As for why he didn''t choose the Daoist Immortal Mountain, Mu Qingliu didn''t know how many means had beenid down by the sessive sect masters there.


    Mu Qingliu estimated that if he had chosen the Daoist Immortal Mountain, Ind Master Yuan Yangwouldn''t havee.


    The Cloud Mist Blessed Land was a good choice.


    Although it was one of the 108 blessednds, it hadn''t been heavily fortified.


    With Ind Master Yuan Yang''s strength, the entire Cloud Mist Blessed Land was no different from thin paper to him.


    Choosing the Cloud Mist Blessed Land meant that Mu Qingliu had absolutely no other ns.


    Moreover, the Cloud Mist Blessed Land was close to the Daoist Immortal Mountain. If things didn''t go well, Mu Qingliu had an escape route.


    Lastly,pared to other blessednds in Central Divine Continent, the Cloud Mist Blessed Land wasn''t highly important except for its longevity. However, the longevity of the Cloud Mist Blessed Land didn''t have much effect on cultivators.


    Mu Qingliu descended into the Cloud Mist Blessed Land.


    "Greetings, Sect Master."


    Chunhua and Qiuyue''s faces were full of fear, unsure of why the Sect Master hade.


    "Where''s Wuji?" Mu Qingliu asked.


    "He, he''s in seclusion," Qiuyue replied, trembling. "I''ll go tell him right away."


    "No need" Mu Qingliu said in his mind.


    Images of Jun Wuji shed through Mu Qingliu''s mind. Additionally, the faces of Jun Dongjin, Mu Lian''er, Jun Xiaoyao, and Jun Zhn also appeared.


    For some reason, Mu Qingliu felt a bit mncholic at this moment.


    For the sake of his Mu Family''s interests, he ultimately gave up on Jun Dongjin. Even Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhn, his two grandchildren, were transferred to the distant Mangya Mountain.


    Only Jun Wuji, who had never had much presence since childhood, escaped a disaster. But even so, he was separated from his parents and older siblings.


    "Wuji."


    "Let him continue his cultivation."


    "Don''t disturb him."


    Mu Qingliu sighed.


    Although it was somewhat cruel, Mu Qingliu didn''t feel that he had done anything wrong.


    "Stay away from the top floor of the mountain."


    "I''ll be meeting a fellow Daoist there."


    Mu Qingliu gave a few instructions before his figure disappeared.


    On the top of the Cloud Mist Mountain.


    Outside the attic.


    Mu Qingliu sat cross-legged, facing the direction of the Eastern Sea, waiting quietly for Ind Master Yuan Yangto arrive.


    "I wonder what price I''ll have to pay to get Ind Master Yuan Yang to cooperate with me to deal with the Blood Demon Sea and the GhostPce," Mu Qingliu thought to himself.


    He attached great importance to Ind Master Yuan Yang. Such a powerhouse would shine regardless of the era, even in the era tens of thousands of years ago when powerful beings who surpassed the limits of Void Refinement weremon.


    "I must have a good discussionter."


    "Even if we can''t reach an agreement in the end, we must resolve our grievances."


    "I absolutely cannot let Ind Master Yuan Yangcooperate with those three old guys."


    Mu Qingliu thought to himself.


    He had alreadymunicated with Ind Master Yuan Yangabout discussing cooperation in the Cloud Mist Blessed Land, so he believed that the other party woulde soon.


    At the foot of the Cloud Mist Mountain.


    Chunhua and Qiuyue''s faces had barely recovered.


    The sudden appearance of the Sect Master had truly startled them.


    That was the Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect, the supreme figure in Central Divine Continent.


    As two insignificant Golden Core stage female cultivators, they would never have the chance to interact with such a prominent figure in their lifetimes.


    "Why did the Sect Mastere here? To meet some ''fellow Daoist''?" Chunhua wondered. "It must be some important figure if the Sect Master is personally waiting for them."


    As they whispered to each other, a figure emerged from the closed-door chamber at some point.


    "Ah?"


    "Young Master."


    "You''vee out?" Chunhua turned around and saw Lin Yuan, immediately bowing in respect. "Young Master, just now the Sect Master came and is now waiting on the top of the Cloud Mist Mountain for a fellow Daoist."


    Chunhua immediately ryed all the information she knew.


    "I see."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    He looked up at the top of the Cloud Mist Mountain.


    The clouds and mist shrouded the area, resembling a fairnd.


    "It''s almost time."


    Lin Yuan''s expression remained calm.


    Then he walked towards the stairs leading up the mountain.


    Following the stairs, he headed towards the mountain top.


    "Young Master."


    Chunhua and Qiuyue observed the situation and decided not to intervene.


    Although the Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect had said not to let anyone up, the Young Master wasn''t an outsider; he was the Sect Master''s grandson. Shouldn''t he be allowed to go up?


    The Cloud Mist Mountain wasn''t very high, only a few hundred meters, but its mountain path was somewhat rugged.


    Lin Yuan''s gaze lowered as he ascended the mountain step by step. He didn''t use any magical techniques; he simply climbed the mountain one step at a time.


    After half an hour, Lin Yuan reached the top of the Cloud Mist Mountain.


    He saw Mu Qingliu, facing east with his back to him, sitting there.


    Lin Yuan walked straight over.


    "Wuji."


    Mu Qingliu had noticed Lin Yuan long ago but didn''t stop him.


    "I''ve already told Mengting. He''ll bring Dongjin and your mother back soon, and your family will be reunited."


    Mu Qingliu thought Jun Wuji wanted to plead for his parents, so he said directly.


    Hearing this, Lin Yuan didn''t stop. He walked to the opposite side of Mu Qingliu and sat down, facing the Daoist Immortal Sect Master.


    "Wuji?"


    Mu Qingliu''s eyebrows furrowed slightly.


    The position Lin Yuan took was the one he had reserved for Ind Master Yuan Yang. However, since Jun Wuji was his grandson after all, Mu Qingliu didn''t say anything.


    "Wuji, you should go down first. Grandfather has important matters to discuss with a fellow Daoistter, which concerns the overall situation of Central Divine Continent."


    Mu Qingliu spoke with a gentle smile.


    The matter regarding Jun Dongjin, Mu Qingliu believed he was not wrong, but he still felt guilty towards this grandson.


    Lin Yuan remained silent, only staring quietly at Mu Qingliu.


    "Wuji?"


    Mu Qingliu''s smile faded.


    He couldn''t quite understand what his grandson wanted to do. Didn''t he understand how important the matter to be discussedter was for the Daoist Immortal Sect and for Central Divine Continent?


    The two stared at each other.


    "Grandfather."


    At that moment, Lin Yuan spoke slowly.


    Mu Qingliu''s expression rxed, but Lin Yuan''s next words made his pupils contract.


    "What do you want to cooperate with me on?"


    ...


    I need POWAAAA :D

 Chapter 166

    Chapter 166


    White Jade Ind.


    Yuan Yang''s divine figure descended gracefully.


    Countless disciples of the White Jade Pavilion were filled with excitement. Just now, they had all thought they were undoubtedly doomed. That terrifying mirror light pierced through the heavens and the earth, but it was easily blocked by the ind lord.


    Especially their own ind lord, who eventually transformed into an immense giant of unknown height, with just one handpletely covering the entire White Jade Ind.


    Such divine techniques, even those Void Refinement Stage Cultivators, couldn''t achieve, right?


    "That mirror light, should it be the Taihao Mirror of the Daoist Immortal Sect?"


    "Our ind lord, blocked an attack from the Taihao Mirror? Doesn''t that mean, the ind lord is already an Ancient Sage?"


    "Nonsense, it''s more than just an Ancient Sage! That Taihao Mirror is the Daoist Immortal Sect''s town''s treasure. Under the Taihao Mirror, who dares to resist? Our ind lord''s strength is simply..."


    Over the past hundred years, the White Jade Pavilion had be the most powerful force in the East Sea. The disciples of the White Jade Pavilion were well-informed and immediately deduced that the mirror light descending from the Ninth Heaven most likely originated from the legendary treasure, the Taihao Mirror.Lin Yuan nced at the many fervent disciples of the White Jade Pavilion and directly returned to the core area''s cave.


    "Master."


    Li Qing and other disciples who had been epted by Lin Yuan immediately bowed respectfully.


    Under Lin Yuan''s asional guidance and the favorable cultivation environment of White Jade Ind, disciples like Li Qing were either at the Fourth or Fifth Rank of martial arts.


    Comparable to the Daoist Immortal Sect''s Nascent Souls and Divine Transformation cultivators.


    The ordinary disciples outside only saw Lin Yuan''s remarkable feat of blocking the attack capable of wiping out White JadeInd with just a divine manifestation.


    But disciples like Li Qing, with strong strength and high cultivation realms, keenly felt how terrifying the immense giant formed by Lin Yuan truly was.


    And what it meant to be able to directly block an attack from the Taihao Mirror.


    "Master... Master is so powerful."


    Li Qing and other disciples trembled in awe. They had spent over a hundred years practicing under Lin Yuan''s guidance and had realized that their master''s strength was unfathomable, perhaps approaching the level of an Ancient Sage.


    As for blocking the attack of the strongest Ancient Sage in the world just now, and ultimately making the prestigious Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect retreat voluntarily, it was simply unbelievable.


    "Perfect, there''s something I need to discuss."


    Lin Yuan looked at the thirty or forty disciples he had epted over the years.


    These disciples were all excellent candidates for practicing the martial arts evolutionary system and would be crucial in carrying forward the inheritance of the martial arts evolutionary system after Lin Yuan left this realm.


    "Master, please speak."


    "Master, please speak."


    Li Qing and other disciples immediately respectfully said.


    "Go and unify the Eastern Sea."


    Lin Yuan calmly spoke.


    Although the White Jade Pavilion had be the most powerful force in the Eastern Sea over the past hundred years, it had not taken action against other sects.


    Not because it couldn''t.


    But out of concern for attracting the attention of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    But now, there was no need for such concerns.


    Lin Yuan''s strength was already invincible in the world. If it weren''t for that Taihao Mirror, just relying on a Yin and Yang divine manifestation could sweep across this realm.


    "Unify the inds of the Eastern Sea."


    Li Qing and other disciples were shaken.


    Lin Yuan lowered his gaze, looking towards the direction of the Central Divine Continent, "In this world, there is not only the path of immortality. My path of martial arts should also step out."


    Mangya Mountain.


    In every corner of the surrounding area, there were Celestial Lords guarding at the Divine Transformation Stage.


    Jun Dongjin, as a former high-ranking member of the Daoist Immortal Sect, even had hopes of contending for the position of Sect Master.


    Even though he had been abandoned now and transferred to the remote Mangya Mountain, there were still Divine Transformation cultivators from the sect specially assigned to protect him.


    In fact, it was more like ''surveince'' than protection.


    Jun Dongjin was aware of many secrets of the Daoist Immortal Sect. If he ran away or was influenced by the Blood Demon Sea, the Underworld Pce, or the Demonic Saint''s Nest, it wouldn''t be good for the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    In a cave several miles away from Mangya Mountain.


    Two Divine Transformation cultivators sat cross-legged.


    "We''re also Celestial Lords, but we''ve been assigned to such a remote ce." The thin man on the left sighed.


    Even the Divine Transformation stage Celestial Lords, who could be considered high-ranking cultivators even within the Daoist Immortal Sect, could enjoy the spiritual veins of the Daoist Immortal Mountain, greatly aiding their cultivation.


    However, now they were in the vicinity of Mangya Mountain, where there was spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but it was far inferior to the natural energy of the Immortal Mountain.


    "Even Lord Jun Dongjin is here, why are youining?" The round-faced Celestial Lord on the right nced at the thin man.


    "I''m notining, just feeling that the Sect Master''s decision is a bit unfeeling. It''s one thing to suppress Lord Jun Dongjin, but why bring his daughter and grandson here as well?"


    "The Sect Master''s decision naturally has the Sect Master''s considerations," said the round-faced Celestial Lord, shaking his head.


    "Do you think there will be a day when Lord Jun Dongjin can return to the Daoist Immortal Mountain?" The thin man couldn''t help but ask.


    "I don''t know."


    "It depends on what Master Mu Mengting thinks."


    The round-faced Celestial Lord pondered for a moment before replying.


    The current situation of the Daoist Immortal Sect was already very clear. Mu Mengting was designated as the next Sect Master.


    "That''s it then."


    The thin man suddenly felt a headache.


    Although it was inappropriate to discuss the future Sect Master Mu Mengting, Mengting''s vindictive character was no secret.


    Perhaps when Mengting reached the Void Refinement Stage, became an Ancient Sage, and became the Sect Master, things would be different, and his character might change, but it was only a possibility.


    "It''s fortunate for Lord Jun Dongjin''s youngest son, Jun Wuji, to be able to stay in the Cloud Mist Blessed Land and enjoy himself while his whole family has been transferred here."


    The thin man couldn''t help but sigh, "Sometimes, being weak is also a blessing."


    The reason why Jun Wuji could still stay in the Cloud Mist Blessed Land was simply because in the eyes of Mu Mengting, this person was not a threat.


    He didn''t even have a trace of presence.


    So he managed to escape this cmity.


    "That''s true." The round-faced Celestial Lord nodded in agreement.


    "Hehe."


    Just as the thin man was about to say something.


    Suddenly, his expression changed.


    The round-faced Celestial Lord next to him reacted simrly.


    Within their perception range,


    A breath suddenly appeared out of thin air.


    And it headed straight towards Mangya Mountain.


    "Bold!"


    "Outrageous!"


    "Don''t you know this ce is the forbiddennd of the Daoist Immortal Sect?"


    Other Divine Transformation cultivators also noticed one after another.


    They appeared in their forms, bursting out with shouts.


    "Who are you?"


    "Young Master Jun Wuji?"


    When the Divine Transformation Celestial Lord saw the appearance of the person clearly, they were stunned.


    Although the figure in front of them exuded an aura simr to the Yin Spirit, the appearance was that of Jun Wuji.


    Although Jun Wuji was extremely low-key in the Daoist Immortal Sect, his appearance was widely known, after all, he was once a member of an immensely powerful family of three generations of immortals.


    "I''m here to take my parents away."


    Lin Yuan said calmly.


    Before revealing himself to the Sect Master, Lin Yuan had sent his Yin Divine Spirit to Mangya Mountain.


    Regardless of the oue of the negotiations, Lin Yuan nned to bring his parents and siblings to the Eastern Sea Inds.


    At least he wouldn''t let them continue to fall into the hands of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    For this reason, Lin Yuan''s Yin Divine Spirit specifically transformed into his own appearance to make it easier for his parents to ept.


    "Prince Jun Wuji, may I ask if you have the Sect Master''smand?"


    The round-faced Celestial Lord and the other Celestial Lords looked at each other, asking cautiously.


    Although Jun Dongjin was no longer a high-ranking member of the sect, he was still the son-inw of the Mu family.


    Jun Wuji was even the grandson of the current Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    After all the Celestial Lords on the field recognized Jun Wuji''s identity, none of them dared to speak rudely.


    "Sect Master''smand? I don''t have one."


    Lin Yuan shook his head.


    "ording to the rules, without the Sect Master''smand, Lord Jun Dongjin and his family are not allowed to leave."


    The round-faced Celestial Lordreminded.


    He repeatedly sized up Jun Wuji in front of him, feeling that his aura was quite strange.


    "It doesn''t matter."


    Lin Yuan smiled slightly.


    The next moment, the expressions of the round-faced Celestial Lordand the others changed drastically.


    They felt the surrounding space freeze, and their mana and divine consciousness could not move, bound in ce.


    Then, under the watchful eyes of many Celestial Lords, Lin Yuan walked directly towards Mangya Mountain.


    Inside Mangya Mountain, Jun Dongjin, Mu Lian''er, Jun Xiaoyao, and Jun Zhn had long noticed themotion outside.


    At this moment, they looked at Jun Wuji who was approaching with astonishment on their faces.


    "Wuji?"


    Mu Lian''er tentatively called out.


    Although the appearance was the same, the aura was different.


    "Mother."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    With this word, Mu Lian''er felt relieved.


    Although it was only one word, it confirmed to her that this was indeed her youngest son, Jun Wuji.


    "Let''s make it short."


    "I''m taking you to the Eastern Sea now."


    "It''s much safer there than here."


    Lin Yuan looked at his parents and his elder brother and sister.


    "What?"


    Jun Zhn blinked.


    From start to finish, everything that had happened left her in a state of confusion.


    How could her younger brother be like this? And howe the group of Divine Transformation Celestial Lords who were guarding them suddenly stopped moving?


    "Wait until we get to the Eastern Sea, then I''ll exin to you."


    Lin Yuan raised his right hand and waved his sleeve.


    Space twisted as ifpressed, and Jun Dongjin and the others, shrinking continuously, were all collected within the sleeve.


    Daoist Immortal Sect''s celestial art - Universe within the Sleeve.


    Cloud Mist Blessed Land.


    The Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect, Mu Qingliu, stared fixedly at his grandson sitting in front of him.


    At this moment, Mu Qingliu''s heart surged with waves.


    Just now, the sentence "What do you want to cooperate with me on?" from Jun Wuji almost made Mu Qingliu lose control.


    As an Ancient Sage, Mu Qingliu''s memory was extremely clear. He was very sure that he had only mentioned cooperation with Ind Master.


    He only said to others that he was discussing important matters with a fellow Daoist.


    There were many possibilities for discussing important matters, not just cooperation.


    But now, Jun Wuji asked him ''what to cooperate with''?


    "Wuji... you?"


    A faint outline of an Immortal Mirror reflected in Mu Qingliu''s pupils.


    In just an instant, Mu Qingliu activated dozens, even hundreds, of secret techniques, wanting to see through the bottom of his grandson.


    But he couldn''t.


    The impact of the sentence ''What do you want to cooperate with me on'' on Mu Qingliu was too great.


    Even if it was just Jun Wuji bluffing, Mu Qingliu would still check repeatedly.


    Buzz!!


    Mu Qingliu suddenly closed his eyes, as if he saw surging blood and rolling red clouds. Inside Jun Wuji''s body, there was a kind of extremely terrifying power that blocked all his probing secret techniques.


    "Who, who are you?"


    Silently, a ancient mirror emitting immortal light floated above Mu Qingliu''s head. The pressure Jun Wuji gave him was too great, so much so that he instinctively activated the Ta Hao Immortal Mirror to protect himself.


    "Grandfather."


    "I am Jun Wuji."


    "And."


    "The Ind Master of the White Jade Inds."


    Lin Yuan''s expression remained calm. Since he had decided to reveal himself, he didn''t bother to conceal his identity anymore. Mainly because his current strength made him fearless, even against the Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect wielding immortal treasures, he couldn''t threaten him.


    "You?!"


    Mu Qingliu''s face changed constantly.


    At this moment, he even suspected whether his grandson had been possessed by the Ind Master of the White Jade Inds with great power.


    However, the method of possession had many restrictions, and with his strength, if Jun Wuji had truly been possessed, he would have sensed something was amiss.


    But there wasn''t.


    His grandson''s soul aura had been unchanged from beginning to end.


    "The Ind Master of the White Jade Inds."


    Mu Qingliu looked towards the direction of the Eastern Sea, and vaguely, a breath like that of a great sun rose, responding to Jun Wuji in front of him.


    "Impressive."


    After a long time, Mu Qingliu gradually regained his calm expression.


    "I never thought that in the Daoist Immortal Sect, for tens of thousands of years, there would emerge such a genius like you."


    At this point, even if it was unbelievable, the facts wereid out in front of him, and he could only believe that the Jun Wuji before him was indeed his low-profile grandson.


    When the most unimaginable possibility came true, many doubts in Mu Qingliu''s mind gradually became clear.


    For example, when the Ind Master of the White Jade Inds first appeared, it was in the ck Veil Archipgo.


    At that time, his grandson was congratting him for his sess in the Ceremony.


    At that time, Mu Mengting was reporting to him about the ck Veil Archipgo.


    "I want to cooperate with you. To neutralize the Ghost Pce and the Blood Demon Sea."


    Mu Qingliu looked at Jun Wuji, who had be unfamiliar, and said softly.


    At this moment, he hadpletely ced his grandson on the same level as himself, even his tone was one of negotiation.


    "No problem."


    Lin Yuan said indifferently.


    He had no good feelings towards the Ghost Pce, the Blood Demon Sea, or even the Demonic Saint''s Nest. Even if Mu Qingliu didn''t say it now, he would n to eradicate them in the future.


    "Then."


    Mu Qingliu breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "What are your conditions?"


    As long as he could solve the Daoist Immortal Sect''s tens of thousands of years of hidden troubles in one fell swoop, Mu Qingliu was willing to pay a sufficientlyrge price.


    Therefore.


    Even if Lin Yuan made outrageous demands, Mu Qingliu would ultimately agree.


    After all, Lin Yuan was also his grandson.


    Even if he gained many benefits from the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    It could be considered as falling into the hands of his own people.


    It made sense not to let the fat water flow into someone else''s field.


    "Three conditions."


    Lin Yuan spoke.


    "First, I want theplete Daoist Immortal Scripture."


    The Daoist Immortal Scripture was the Sect''s highest-level technique, involving the essence of the post-Enlightenment period and the Unity period.


    Throughout the Daoist Immortal Sect, only the Sect Master could cultivate this scripture, and even Jun Dongjin had never studied it.


    As the third generation of immortals in the Daoist Immortal Sect, Jun Xiaoyao secretly brought many of the Sect''s secret techniques out to give to Lin Yuan.


    But the Daoist Immortal Scripture was beyond his capabilities to bring out.


    Throughout the Daoist Immortal Sect, apart from the Sect Master, no one knew where this scripture was hidden, let alone how to ess it or bring it out.


    "No problem."


    Mu Qingliu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

 Chapter 167

    Chapter 167


    For the Daoist Immortal Sect, the Daoist Immortal Scripture is crucial, including numerous secret techniques and methods of the sect.


    There is also a concise description of the Harmony Dao Period.


    Therefore.


    In the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    Only the Sect Master can cultivate the Daoist Immortal Scripture.


    Even though Mu mengting has already entered the Void Refinement Stage, he cannot ess the Daoist Immortal Scripture until he bes the Sect Master.


    This is the rule and ironw of the Daoist Immortal Sect, which has been the case for hundreds of thousands of years.


    However.


    Mu Qingliu understands.Rules are made by people.


    Regarding his grandson''s terrifying talent and formidable strength, even if he were to give him the Daoist Immortal Scripture, it wouldn''t make much of a difference.


    Anyway, whether he gives it or not, Mu Qingliu doesn''t have the confidence to defeat Lin Yuan.


    "However, this matter cannot be disclosed, and everything about the Daoist Immortal Scripture cannot be taught to anyone else," Mu Qingliu said.


    He can only tolerate Jun Wuji being the only one who knows the Daoist Immortal Scripture.


    "Okay," Lin Yuan nodded.


    "The second condition."


    "I want to know everything about the Ascension tform," Lin Yuan continued.


    The Ascension tform is of great importance.


    The reason why the Blood Demon Sea, the Ghost Pce, and the Demon Saint''s Nest constantly stir up wars in the Central Divine Continent is for the Ascension tform.


    In addition, hundreds of thousands of years ago, the reason why the Daoist Immortal Sect was able to dominate the Central Divine Continent was also because of the Ascension tform.


    It is said that the Ascension tform connects to the ''Spirit Realm.''


    "I''ll tell you this even if you don''t," Mu Qingliu said.


    Even if he doesn''t tell Lin Yuan, those three old fellows from the GhostPce, Blood Demon Sea, and Demon Saint''s Nest would be eager to inform the Lord of Yuan Yang Ind.


    "The third."


    When Lin Yuan said this, he paused.


    The third condition is also a crucial one, and the first two conditionsbined are notparable.


    "I want to spread martial arts in the Central Divine Continent," Lin Yuan said.


    Implicitly, the Daoist Immortal Sect is not allowed to suppress the spread of martial arts.


    "Martial arts?" Mu Qingliu''s expression changed slightly.


    He knew about the White Jade Pavilion in the Eastern Sea, where many disciples practiced a martial arts cultivation system.


    Mu Qingliu had even watched some martial arts techniques.


    Martial arts, a cultivation system entirely different from immortal cultivation, exhibits considerable potential and is not much weaker than immortal cultivation.


    This time, the reason why the Daoist Immortal Sect cultivated the second ancient saint, with Mu Qingliu holding the Taihao Mirror, intending to wipe out White Jade Ind, was because of martial arts.


    Apart from the fact that White Jade Ind was considered a ''soft persimmon'' in his eyes.


    It''s also because martial arts brought a sense of threat to Mu Qingliu.


    In the Eastern Sea archipgo, there are eight hundred side gates, three thousand left paths, and various cultivation systems, but they all have obvious ws and are almost impossible to produce cultivators at the Void Refinement Stage level.


    This is also the reason why the Eastern Sea archipgo has been in constant turmoil, without a sufficiently powerful cultivator, so it can only keep splitting apart.


    But martial arts...


    Mu Qingliu was almost certain that if one were to cultivate ording to the martial arts cultivation system, it would be only a matter of time before a saint was born, that is, the sixth rank of martial arts, known as the martial arts saint.


    "Let''s change it."


    "This is impossible," Mu Qingliu shook his head.


    Other things can be negotiated.


    But allowing the spread of martial arts? That''s absolutely impossible.


    In Mu Qingliu''s eyes, the greatest concession he can make is to let Jun Wuji be the next Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    Anyway.


    Jun Wuji is also a disciple of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    With such strength, such talent, he is far beyond Mu Mengting.


    Letting Jun Wuji be the next Sect Master is not a problem.


    It might evenpletely win him over.


    As for Mu Mengting? He can only be somewhat aggrieved and be a guardian of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    "Impossible?" Lin Yuan''s expression remained unchanged.


    But in his heart, he sighed lightly.


    He had long anticipated this possibility; martial arts and immortal cultivation are fundamentally different.


    In simple terms.


    What is the foundation of the Daoist Immortal Sect? Is it the sessive Sect Masters? Or the endless secret techniques of immortal arts?


    None of them.


    The foundation of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    Is immortal cultivation.


    For the Daoist Immortal Sect, immortal cultivation is equivalent to the bloodline of the royal family in a vast empire.


    In the empire, anyone can be emperor, provided they have the royal bloodline.


    Now, Lin Yuan wants to allow the Daoist Immortal Sect to spread martial arts, which is equivalent to pulling out the roots of the Daoist Immortal Sect and changing dynasties.


    If Mu Qingliu were to agree to this, he would be the eternal sinner of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    Martial arts and immortal cultivation are twopletely different paths.


    The battle between the two paths is the most significant.


    As for why body cultivation does not conflict with immortal cultivation, it is because body cultivation is not aplete cultivation system.


    Any cultivation system, when developed to a deep level, will haveprehensive improvements to oneself, including the physical body, soul, lifespan, and so on.


    But body cultivation can only enhance the physical body, and it cannot even increase the most fundamental lifespan of a cultivator.


    This means that body cultivation is more like some kind of secret technique.


    Not only can immortal cultivation incorporate body cultivation into its scope, but martial arts can also do so, as can other demonic and demonic cultivation paths.


    "Then forget it," Lin Yuan said calmly.


    He appeared to negotiate with Mu Qingliu.


    It was just an attempt to see the Daoist Immortal Sect''s attitude toward martial arts, and what it would be like.


    Lin Yuan had long prepared for failure. Before ascending to the summit of Cloud Mist Mountain, he had already asked Yin''s divine soul to take his parents and elder brother and sister to the Eastern Sea.


    "Let it go."


    Mu Qingliu''s expression turned silent.


    These words meant that the cooperation had failed.


    "Wuji."


    Mu Qingliu''s gaze suddenly became fierce.


    The Taihao Mirror above his head even emitted strands of immortal light.


    "The Lord of the White Jade Ind should be one of your avatars?" Mu Qingliu muttered to himself.


    The technique of avatars was not umon, and the Daoist Immortal Sect had a secret technique for creating avatars.


    However, to create an avatar, one must pay a huge price, and in the end, one must sacrifice half of their own soul and inject it into the avatar.


    Losing half of one''s soul meant a decrease in cultivation speed, insight, and other aspects.


    So Mu Qingliu did not practice the technique of avatars. He wielded the Taihao Mirror. In the current world, no matter how far away, he could form a mirror avatar with just a thought, which was no different from an avatar.


    "Today, I want to see how strong your strength has be, after enduring until today, Wuji."


    Mu Qingliu suddenly stood up, and the Taihao Mirror''s Immortal Realm above his head radiated even brighter light.


    At the foot of Cloud Mist Mountain.


    The two Golden Core female cultivators, Chunhua and Qiuyue, were talking quietly.


    "The young master has been up for so long, why hasn''t hee down yet?"


    "Maybe he''s chatting with the Sect Master. After all, the young master hasn''t been out for a long time."


    "That''s true, but the fact that the Sect Master is willing to chat with the young master shows that they have a good rtionship."


    As Chunhua and Qiuyue chatted, they nced towards the summit of Cloud Mist Mountain.


    Suddenly.


    A terrifying wave of energy emanated from the summit.


    Chunhua and Qiuyue subconsciously looked up.


    Instantly, their jaws dropped in shock.


    They saw two figures soaring from the top of Cloud Mist Mountain.


    The figure on the left was Mu Qingliu, the Sect Master of the sect, with the Taihao Mirror above his head, radiating boundless light and power.


    As for the figure on the right, it seemed to possess immense power, with surging blood energy and a crimson aura engulfing the surroundings for tens of thousands of miles.


    Under the endless sea of blood and energy, Mu Qingliu, with the Taihao Mirror, seemed like a boat that could capsize at any moment, swaying unsteadily.


    The crucial point that left Chunhua and Qiuyue''s minds in a mess was the figure pressing down on the Sect Master of the sect. It seemed to be their young master, Jun Wuji?


    Is the young master fighting with the Sect Master? The Sect Master seems unable to beat the young master? Chunhua and Qiuyue''s mouths were wide open.


    When Mu Qingliu fought with Lin Yuan, the terrifying fluctuations spread in all directions.


    In the west of the Divine Continent.


    Demon Saint''s Nest.


    The Demon Saint was pondering. What strength does the Lord of White Jade Ind have, to withstand the blow of Mu Qingliu holding the Taihao Mirror?


    "That''s?"


    The Demon Saint''s face suddenly changed.


    He keenly felt that in the center of the Central Divine Continent, two powerful auras were in confrontation.


    One of them radiated boundless light and power, illuminating every corner of the world, which should be Mu Qingliu.


    As for the other one, with its surging blood energy, shaking the Central Divine Continent, even though the Taihao Mirror''s power was infinite, it was still swaying under the terrifying blood energy.


    "Who could it be?"


    "Actually able to suppress Mu Qingliu in the Central Divine Continent?"


    The Demon Saint was truly frightened.


    That was Mu Qingliu, who wielded the Taihao Mirror, was invincible in the world. He had never been suppressed like this before, especially at his own doorstep.


    "Show me."


    The Demon Saint took a deep breath and reached out to press in front of him.


    He was activating some kind of secret technique to project the scene of the battle in the center of the Central Divine Continent here.


    With a rustling sound.


    One after another, illusory images gradually appeared.


    It was a battlefield located in the Nine Heavens.


    Crimson aura surged, and the bright red blood almost engulfed everything.


    But the Demon Saint vaguely noticed that there was a sturdy man standing in the center of the blood energy, towering like a mountain. He stood tall and was wielding some kind of boxing technique, suppressing both the Taihao Mirror and Mu Qingliu, which was a plight beyond words.


    Every time the man struck, a shallow fist mark appeared on the Taihao Mirror itself. Although it recovered in an instant, it was still the Taihao Mirror, a treasure of the Harmony Dao Period.


    It should have been indestructible.


    "Turbulent blood energy? Is it the body cultivation lineage? No, it''s more than just body cultivation."


    The Demon Saint swallowed his saliva. It had been a long time since he had felt such fear. But now, seeing that sturdy man, the Demon Saint''s mind was trembling.


    "Who is it?"


    "Who is it?"


    The Demon Saint continued to activate the secret technique, and the image gradually became clear. The appearance of that sturdy man vaguely revealed itself.


    "He is..."


    The Demon Saint widened his eyes.


    As an ancient saint, his memory was extremely powerful. Every time he awakened, he would review the appearance of the cultivators with some status in the Central Divine Continent.


    And at this moment, the appearance of that sturdy man was unexpectedly that of Jun Wuji, the third generation Young Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect, who was considered a waste without spiritual roots?


    "How is this possible?"


    The Demon Saint was dumbfounded, unable to react for a long time.


    "Is it Jun Wuji?"


    "How can he be so strong?"


    In the Blood Demon Sea, the Lord of the Blood Demon was equally shocked.


    He had tried to win over Jun Wuji, and through him, win over Jun Dongjin.


    So he was quite familiar with Jun Wuji, after all, he had paid attention to him.


    But now.


    The Lord of the Blood Demon was trembling in fear.


    That was the Taihao Mirror held by Mu Qingliu, the invincible Mu Qingliu. He had never been suppressed like this before, especially at his own doorstep.


    "Jun Wuji, I didn''t expect you to hide so deeply!"


    The Lord of Blood Demons steadied his mind.


    At this moment, he suddenly remembered the blood-colored figure he had sent to recruit Jun Wuji.


    Back then, the blood-colored figure died quickly, and the Lord of Blood Demons thought it was just bad luck, being discovered by Mu Qingliu wielding the Taihao Mirror.


    But now, he estimated that the blood-colored figure must have died at the hands of Jun Wuji.


    "Fortunately."


    The Lord of Blood Demons looked towards the ongoing battle, where Jun Wuji seemed to be pressing Mu Qingliu, preparing to speak. For some reason, he felt relieved.


    Although he didn''t know why Jun Wuji was fighting his grandfather Mu Qingliu.


    But this was a good thing.


    Given Jun Wuji''s disyed strength now.


    As long as he teamed up with Mu Qingliu.


    No, even without teaming up.


    As long as Jun Wuji harbored killing intent towards them.


    He wouldn''t be able to escape even if he wanted to.


    Other Void Refinement Stage Cultivators could still hide and survive in some corner.


    But he was merged with the Blood Demon Sea, unable to leave, making him too conspicuous, like a living target.


    Ghost Pce.


    The thin man''s forehead was faintly covered in cold sweat.


    He didn''t have a physical body, only a soul, so he shouldn''t have the concept of ''cold sweat,'' but he felt like his scalp was about to explode when he sensed the battle between Lin Yuan and Mu Qingliu.


    If that surging tide of blood and qi were toe and suppress him...


    The thin man didn''t dare to imagine the consequences.


    As the King of Ghost Cultivation, he possessed some kind of ''immortality'' trait.


    But no matter how immortal he was, there were limits.


    If he were swept by that endless blood and qi once, even if he didn''t die, he would be severely injured.


    If it happened a few more times, he would probably truly die.


    "Retreat, retreat, retreat."


    The thin man immediately manipted the Ghost Pce and retreated towards the extreme south.


    He was truly afraid.


    In the Nine Heavens.


    Mu Qingliu struggled under the Taihao Mirror above his head.


    "Wuji, why are you so strong."


    Mu Qingliu''s face was grim. He originally thought that Jun Wuji''s strength was weakened due to the avatar.


    He decided to make a move.


    Not to mention surpassing the opponent, at least he could regain some face.


    Being worse than his own grandson wasn''t a good thing for a grandfather.


    But the reality was different.


    In just the moment of their exchange.


    He was suppressed by Lin Yuan.


    And there had been no counterattack since.


    It''s not that he didn''t want to counterattack.


    But he simply couldn''t.


    "We can''t drag this out."


    Mu Qingliu made a decision in his heart.


    Although he could still hold on with the Taihao Mirror.


    Continuing like this wouldn''t be good.


    "Let''s return to Daoist Immortal Sect."


    Mu Qingliu sighed.


    For tens of thousands of years, it was the first time that the Sect Master of the sect was beaten and forced to retreat to the sect''s gate.


    Swish.


    The Taihao Mirror suddenly emitted boundless light.


    Breaking through the heavy blood and qi.


    It shot towards the direction of Daoist Immortal Mountain.


    "Hmm?"


    Seeing this, Lin Yuan followed quickly.


    Daoist Immortal Mountain.


    The aura of immortality pervaded.


    But at this moment, the entire sect, from top to bottom, was on edge as if facing a great enemy.


    The Sect Master was battling fiercely in the Cloud Mist Blessed Land, and the terrifying fluctuations naturally had been noticed by many disciples of Daoist Immortal Mountain nearby.


    Many elders and grand elders immediately began to activate the protective sect array.


    Hum!


    A beam of light fell from above.


    As the hub of Daoist Immortal Mountain''s array, the Taihao Mirror could bypass many of the sect''s formations and directly enter the sect.


    "Quick, activate the Nine Heavens Defense Array, the Ten Earths Thick Soil Array, the Five Elements Rotation Array, the Yin Yang Fusion Array."


    Mu Qingliu''s tone was urgent as he activated the Taihao Immortal Array, activating all the countless arrays umted by Daoist Immortal Sect over tens of thousands of years.


    The next moment.


    Crash!


    Like a crimson cloud, boundless and unparalleled, the dazzling and shocking torrent of blood and qi submerged Daoist Immortal Mountain.

 Chapter 168

    Chapter 168


    The Daoist Immortal Mountain stands majestic and grand.


    It towers over the central region of the Divine Continent like a pir supporting the sky.


    Indeed, for hundreds of thousands of years, the Daoist Immortal Sect has been overlooking all living beings from atop the mountain, holding a position of superiority.


    However, today...


    The pir supporting the sky, as seen by countless cultivators of the Divine Continent, is being ''submerged'' by a surging tide of Qi and blood.


    Crash!


    The brilliant and astonishing Qi and blood surge relentlessly, overwhelming everything in its path and violently colliding with the protective array of the Daoist Immortal Mountain.


    With each passing moment, vast amounts of Qi and blood are evaporated, and numerous protective arrays copse.


    However...The surging tide of Qi and blood ''submerging'' the Daoist Immortal Mountain shows no sign of slowing down, seeming endless.


    "What''s going on?"


    "Has someonee to attack our Daoist Immortal Sect?"


    "Is this red sea of Qi and blood? How could there be such a massive amount of it?"


    Most disciples of the Daoist Immortal Sect have yet toprehend the situation.


    Just moments ago, they were cultivating in their respective caves, and the next moment, they felt a terrifying disturbanceing from the direction of the Cloud Mist Blessed Land not far away.


    And then...


    The scene before them changed to what it is now.


    The grand Daoist Immortal Mountain has been ''submerged'' by the surging tide of Qi and blood. At this moment, countless arrays within the mountain are being activated to resist the invasion of Qi and blood.


    "Is it holding?"


    Mu Qingliu, the Sect Master, couldn''t help but feel relieved for some reason when he saw the situation.


    "Jun Wuji."


    Mu Qingliu''s expression turned serious as he gazed towards the depths of the sea of Qi and blood. He could sense Jun Wuji''s presence there, silently watching over the Daoist Immortal Mountain.


    "Sect Master, what''s happening?"


    At this moment, Mu Mengting hurriedly arrived and asked.


    His face was grim, and upon seeing the crimson mist surrounding the Daoist Immortal Mountain, he couldn''t help but shudder.


    If it weren''t for the Sect''s protective array, with his cultivation level just entering the Void Refinement stage, he would probably have been ''melted'' by the crimson mist in no time.


    "It''s Jun Wuji."


    Mu Qingliu''s tone was brief.


    At this moment, he didn''t want to say too much. With the Daoist Immortal Sect facing its greatest crisis in hundreds of thousands of years, most of his attention was focused on the protective array.


    "Jun Wuji?"


    "Isn''t he the youngest son of Jun Dongjin?"


    "Wasn''t he born without spiritual roots?"


    Mu Mengting had already seen the appearance of the man fighting against Mu Qingliu. With the methods of a Void Refinement stage cultivator, achieving this was not difficult.


    However, the more it was like this, the more Mu Mengting couldn''t believe it.


    Jun Wuji? The Jun Wuji who had never been taken seriously by him?


    How could he be so strong? How could he be so strong? Mu Mengting couldn''t ept it.


    It was as if a never-before-seen ant had suddenly be a transcendent being. Such a reversal almost caused Mu Mengting to develop a devil in his heart.


    "How would I know."


    Mu Qingliu nced at Mu Mengting.


    That was the fact.


    Now, blocking the entrance of the Daoist Immortal Sect, with his own strength, almost suppressing the Daoist Immortal Mountain...


    It was his former grandson, That person who had very little presence, who had never received any attention from the outside world, from the third generation of immortals.


    Boom!


    The boundless sea of Qi and blood spread out.


    Lin Yuan slowly walked out, overlooking the entire Daoist Immortal Mountain.


    At this moment, the Daoist Immortal Mountain, in front of him, burst with immense potential. Defensive formations were activated one after another, coordinating and blending with each other, connecting with the earth veins of the Divine Continent.


    "Jun Wuji?"


    Mu Mengting looked up at the figure above him, his thoughts surging.


    "Jun Wuji?"


    "Is he Jun Wuji?"


    "The young son of Lord Jun Dongjin?"


    Countless disciples of the Daoist Immortal Sect also saw Lin Yuan. They were dumbfounded, never expecting that the one disying such overwhelming power today would actually be the third generation Young Master who grew up on the Daoist Immortal Mountain.


    Many disciples of the Sect had interacted with Jun Wuji before. At that time, Jun Wuji, with his extraordinary background, was untouchable, but he couldn''t cultivate himself and was looked down upon by many disciples of the Sect.


    But now...


    Looking up at Jun Wuji, who stood tall in the sky like a true immortal, many disciples of the Sect felt like they were dreaming.


    "Let''s see if we I can break through."


    Lin Yuan carefully observed the Daoist Immortal Mountain below.


    It was difficult to deal with the Daoist Immortal Sect solely by wearing down their Qi and blood. Lin Yuan needed to take action.


    Boom!


    Lin Yuan raised his hand.


    From afar, he reached out towards the Daoist Immortal Mountain.


    Buzz!


    The surging crimson mist, condensed into an enormous palm spanning hundreds of miles, pped down towards the Daoist Immortal Mountain.


    Inside the sleeve space.


    Jun Dongjin, Mu Lian''er, as well as Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhn, were all uneasy.


    "Husband, what... what''s going on?"


    Mu Lian''er asked softly, her mind in a state of tension since being brought into the sleeve space.


    Although Mu Lian''er was sure that the one who took them away was her son Jun Wuji, this raised even more questions.


    Why could her son take them away? Why didn''t the guardians at the Transformation stage outside stop them? Moreover, techniques like the sleeve space were supposed to be wielded only by the guardians at the Transformation stage, right? One question after another left Mu Lian''er deeply perplexed.


    "Little brother. When did he be so powerful? He''s even using the techniques of the sleeve space?"


    Jun Zhn couldn''t help but speak up.


    In her eyes, her younger brother Jun Wuji had always been someone she needed to protect. Now, suddenly using a technique like the sleeve space, which only a Celestial Lord could wield...


    Jun Zhn herself was only in the Nascent Soul stage. Even so, she was considered a genius within the sect.


    "Could it be that my brother has some hidden spiritual roots and has been secretly cultivating all along? And now, he has reached the Transformation stage, so he asked the Sect Master to take us away?"


    Jun Xiaoyao pondered for a moment and spected.


    So far, this seemed to be the most usible exnation.


    Hidden spiritual roots had appeared in the Divine Continent several times over the past hundreds of thousands of years, but the possibility was too small for anyone to consider.


    "Transformation stage?"


    "Do you think this is the sleeve space of the Transformation stage?"


    At this moment, Jun Dongjin, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.


    "Huh?"


    "Isn''t the sleeve space something only the Transformation stage can use?"


    "Could there be some special method that allows one to use the sleeve space even in the Nascent Soul stage or the Golden Core stage?"


    Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhn asked.


    If that were true, then many things would be easier to ept.


    Even if Jun Wuji had hidden spiritual roots, reaching the Transformation stage in just over a hundred years was still too astonishing.


    The Golden Core stage or the Nascent Soul stage would be much more reasonable.


    "I see."


    Mu Lian''er suddenly realized.


    Even she, as the Sect Master''s own daughter, had never heard of any method that could lower the threshold for using the sleeve space, a supreme technique.


    The essence of the sleeve spacey in the perception of space. Before reaching the Transformation stage, who could clearly sense space and utilize it?


    "You haven''t understood what I mean."


    Jun Dongjin nced at them, suppressing the shock in his heart. "Even if a Transformation stage CelestialLord were to use the sleeve space, the space within the sleeve would be limited to just a mile."


    Jun Dongjin paused here, took a deep breath, and continued, "But if it were a Void Refinement stage Cultivator, using the sleeve space, the space within could reach a hundred miles."


    After Jun Dongjin finished speaking, he looked around.


    He looked towards the space they were in.


    Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhn looked over as well.


    As far as their eyes could see, it was vast and expansive.


    More than ten thousand miles?


    The Eastern Sea.


    The core area of White Jade Ind.


    Lin Yuan stood with his hands behind his back.


    Hum.


    A figure appeared.


    It was the Yin Avatar.


    Whoosh!


    The YinAvatar waved his hand.


    Jun Dongjin and the other four appeared.


    "Where is this?"


    Jun Dongjin cautiously looked around.


    Mu Lian''er, Jun Xiaoyao, and Jun Zhn were still immersed in the shock of the sleeve space of the Void Refinement stage being a hundred miles in size.


    "Father, mother, elder brother, elder sister, I have something to do, I''ll exin when Ie back."


    The YinAvatar smiled slightly.


    Then, he and the Yang Avatar disappeared from White JadeInd.


    After a hundred years of operation, even if faced with several Void Refinement stage cultivators besieging it, White JadeInd could withstand for quite some time.


    Unless the Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect used the Taihao Mirror with all his strength, it would be possible to break through White JadeInd.


    But now, the Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect, Mu Qingliu, and the Taihao Mirror were both being blocked by Lin Yuan outside the sect.


    It could be said that White JadeInd was now one of the safest ces in the world.


    Daoist Immortal Mountain.


    The Qi and blood surged endlessly.


    Lin Yuan looked down, pping dozens of times in a row, but still couldn''t shake Daoist Immortal Mountain.


    "What a tortoise shell."


    Lin Yuan remained calm.


    Daoist Immortal Mountain was connected to thergest earth veins of the Divine Continent. Attacking Daoist Immortal Mountain was equivalent to attacking the entire Divine Continent, and the power would be infinitely dispersed.


    In fact, Lin Yuan also had a way to break through Daoist Immortal Mountain, which was to destroy the entire Divine Continent inch by inch.


    Without the Divine Continent, the defensive power of Daoist Immortal Mountain would plummet.


    But such an approach was no different from killing the enemy at the expense of oneself.


    Without the Divine Continent, Lin Yuan''s path of martial evolution would also be difficult to spread.


    Inside Daoist Immortal Mountain.


    Mu Qingliu saw Lin Yuan stop his attacks and breathed a sigh of relief once again.


    Even though he had great confidence in the sect''s defense, he still felt a sense of dread when he saw Lin Yuan''s methods.


    "We''ve held on."


    Mu Mengting beside him finally let go of the tension in his heart.


    At this moment, his thoughts were extremelyplicated. The Jun Wuji, who had never been in his eyes, actually brought such an irresistible pressure upon him.


    "Sect Master, what should we do now?"


    Mu Mengting asked softly.


    Although Daoist Immortal Mountain had blocked Lin Yuan''s attacks...


    With Lin Yuan blocking the door outside, they couldn''t leave either.


    "What can we do?"


    Mu Qingliu sighed.


    "We can only endure like this," he said softly.


    Given the current level of Lin Yuan''s attacks, only he, holding the Taihao Immortal Mirror, could possibly hold out for a while if he went out.


    Other disciples, including Mu Mengting, the newly promoted Ancient Saint, going out would mean certain death.


    "Our sect has a deep foundation."


    Mu Qingliu was about to speak, to encourage the many disciples of the sect.


    Just then...


    From two other directions of Daoist Immortal Mountain...


    Amidst the surging red mist and blood, two figures emerged.


    One exuded the aura of the sun, like the descent of a great sun, unmistakably the Lord of White Jade Ind.


    The other figure, every movement and gesture filled with endless lunar energy, was like the shining of the moon. His aura was no less than that of the Yuan Yang Ind Lord.


    "Is that the mysterious YinAncient Saint?"


    "Oh no, this YinAncient Saint is also one of Jun Wuji''s avatars."


    Mu Qingliu''s expression changed drastically, immediately activating the protective formation of Daoist Immortal Mountain to its utmost with the Taihao Immortal Mirror.


    Boom!


    The Yin Avatar and the Yang Avatar joined forces, merging the power of Yin and Yanginto Taiji, forming a ck-and-white Yin-Yang millstone, rolling down towards Daoist Immortal Mountain.


    At the same time...


    Lin Yuan''s true body struck again.


    With his astonishing blood energy, he once again bombarded Daoist Immortal Mountain.


    "The Lord of White Jade Ind and that Yin Ancient Saint are both Jun Wuji''s avatars?" In the west of the Divine Continent, the Beast Saint in the Saint''s Nest looked wooden.


    Today''s series of events far exceeded the past hundreds of thousands of years, even the era when there were numerous powerful cultivators who surpassed the Void Refinement limit. It brought him such great shock.


    First was the Lord of White Jade Ind, who disyed strength beyond the Void Refinement limit, easily blocking Mu Qingliu''s strike with the Taihao Immortal Mirror.


    Next, it was the so-called waste, for some reason, fighting against his own grandfather.


    Fighting was one thing, but what was even more unbelievable was that Jun Wuji was actually suppressing his own grandfather?


    Suppressing the Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect who held the Taihao Immortal Mirror?


    Finally, the Sect Master had no choice but to flee into Daoist Immortal Mountain, barely withstanding Jun Wuji''s killing intent with the umted strength of Daoist Immortal Sect over hundreds of thousands of years.


    Then came the Lord of White Jade Ind.


    Followed by the mysterious YinAncient Saint.


    The three of them were positioned in three directions around Daoist Immortal Mountain. Although their auras were different, they could easily merge into one, obviously indicating that the three were one.


    At this moment, the Beast Saint was shaken to his core. He never dreamed that Jun Wuji had hidden so many cards.


    In the south of the Divine Continent...


    The skinny man, the King of Ghost Cultivators, felt numb.


    Originally, he had intended to flee towards the extreme south, but now seeing Jun Wuji suppressing the entire Daoist Immortal Sect, and with both the Lord of White Jade Ind and the Yin Ancient Saint having such a great connection to Jun Wuji...


    The skinny man suddenly felt disinterested, not even wanting to escape anymore.


    If it were just the Lord of White Jade Ind, a powerful cultivator surpassing the Void Refinement limit, he might have a chance to escape by fleeing towards the extreme south. But with three, especially with a high probability of them being one person...


    The King of Ghost Cultivators didn''t even want to escape anymore because it would be meaningless. No matter where he fled, as long as he remained within this realm, it would make no difference.


    With the current strength Jun Wuji was disying, the ends of the earth were nothing but beneath his feet.


    "How could such a freak appear in this world?"


    The King of Ghost Cultivators sighed. He nced at the direction of Daoist Immortal Sect from afar.


    Compared to his current situation, the Daoist Immortal Sect was absolutely far worse off.


    Blood Demon Sea.


    The Lord of the Blood Demons trembled uneasily.


    "How could he be so strong?"


    The Lord of the Blood Demons knew many things from hundreds of thousands of years ago, but even in that time, although powerful cultivators surpassing the Void Refinement limit were not umon, the terrifying strength like that of Lin Yuan... there were only one or two, right?


    ...

 Chapter 169

    Chapter 169


    At that moment.


    The heavens and earth copsed.


    It seemed as if all things were being destroyed.


    Lin Yuan gathered his two great primordial spirits, as well as his own full strength, for a single strike.


    Completely surpassing the limits of the sixth rank, purely in terms of power, perhaps approaching the seventh rank?


    After a moment.


    The spiritual energy of heaven and earth gradually calmed down.


    Lin Yuan looked down.


    "What a pity."Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    Even with his full force, he still hadn''t broken through the Daoist Immortal Sect''s mountain.


    "Oh well."


    Lin Yuan didn''t mind much.


    The Daoist Immortal Sect, with its inheritance of tens of thousands of years, had profound foundations that were immeasurable. Unless facing Dao Fusion true immortals or seventh-rank evolvers, it was difficult topletely break through their protective array. (Dao Fusion, the rank above the Void Refinement Realm)


    Lin Yuan didn''t intend to permanently resolve the Daoist Immortal Sect''s matter this time. Instead, he wanted to test his own strength, using the entire Daoist Immortal Sect as a measure.


    "Although I can''t break through, it''s close enough."


    "As long as I cultivate to the peak of the sixth rank and twelfth stage, my full-force attack should be able to touch the seventh rank."


    "By then, I should have a chance topletely break through the Daoist Immortal Sect''s mountain."


    Lin Yuan looked down at the Daoist Immortal Sect''s mountain, silently contemting.


    Of course.


    The premise of Lin Yuan''s prediction was the rumored ''Spiritual Realm'' not intervening. (Spirit Realm)


    The Daoist Immortal Sect controlled the ''Ascension tform''. After the sect masters of generations managed the sect for ten or twenty thousand years, they would ascend to the ''Spiritual Realm'' using the Ascension tform.


    Countless powerful individuals from that era, many of whom surpassed the limits of Void Refinement, had long since ascended to higher levels of the Spiritual Realm using the Ascension tform.


    In the Spiritual Realm, it was almost certain that there were Dao Fusion true immortals.


    However.


    The Ascension tform was a one-way passage.


    Once those predecessors of the Daoist Immortal Sect ascended to the ''Spiritual Realm'', they couldn''te back.


    This was the key reason why Lin Yuan dared to take action against the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    Even if the two realms were separated, and even if intervention were possible, the forces involved would be very limited. As the invincible one in this realm, Lin Yuan had no fear of these.


    "Let''s go back."


    Lin Yuan nced at the Daoist Immortal Sect below his feet.


    Then his figure disappeared.


    Actually.


    Lin Yuan could have left his Yang Spirit or Yin Spirit behind to continue suppressing the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    But it wasn''t necessary.


    With the disy of his just-now strength, even if he didn''t leave behind an avatar to suppress them, the disciples of the Daoist Immortal Sect would probably not dare to venture out for a long time.


    Especially those Nascent Soul True Monarchs and Divine Transformation Celestial Lords.


    Even if they were given ten times the courage, they wouldn''t dare to leave the range of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    In that case.


    It was better for his primordial spirit to return with him. By cultivating his primordial spirit, Lin Yuan''sprehension efficiency could also be improved.


    As Lin Yuan left.


    Countless disciples of the Daoist Immortal Sect within the mountain shed tears of relief.


    Just now, they had truly felt the threat of death, wondering if the Daoist Immortal Sect, with its inheritance of tens of thousands of years, could really withstand the grinding of the Yin and Yang wheels?


    But now.


    The Daoist Immortal Sect had not been breached.


    And that figure standing high in the sky, overlooking them like a true immortal, Jun Wuji, also disappeared, indicating that he had left.


    "We''re alive."


    "Hahaha, I knew my fate wasn''t over."


    "We''re alive, truly alive."


    Countless disciples of the sect couldn''t help but celebrate.


    From life to death, and then from death to life, such ups and downs, even for cultivators, inevitably caused fluctuations in their state of mind.


    "We''re alive?"


    In the sky, Mu Mengting watched the disciples of the sect celebrating, feeling a bit bitter.


    When did the disciples of the Daoist Immortal Sect, who used to be high and mighty, be so emotional?


    "Go find the sect master."


    Mu Mengting steadied his mind and immediately flew towards the peak of the Daoist Immortal Sect''s mountain.


    For ordinary disciples, indeed, they had survived.


    But for the higher-ups of the sect, this was just the beginning.


    What the sect should do next was crucial.


    Jun Wuji had just left; he hadn''t died, so it wasn''t time to celebrate yet.


    At the main hall of the Daoist Immortal Sect''s peak.


    The sect master, Mu Qingliu, sat in the main seat.


    His eyes closed, his brows furrowed in contemtion.


    "Sect Master."


    Mu Mengting appeared in the main hall and bowed slightly to Mu Qingliu.


    "Mu Mengting."


    M¨´ Q¨©ngli¨² opened his eyes and looked at M¨´ M¨¦ngt¨ªng.


    Looking at the respectful posture of M¨´ M¨¦ngt¨ªng, M¨´ Q¨©ngli¨² unconsciouslypared him to Jun Wuji.


    The result was that the two couldn''t bepared at all.


    "Did I make the wrong choice?" M¨´ Q¨©ngli¨² silently thought.


    If he hadn''t chosen M¨´ M¨¦ngt¨ªng as the next generation Sect Master of Daoist Immortal Sect, but had chosen Jun Dongjin instead.


    Would there have been the scene just now, which could be described as a catastrophe for Daoist Immortal Sect?


    Although it is said that Lin Yuan wants to spread martial arts, this is something he absolutely cannotpromise on, and Daoist Immortal Sect cannotpromise on it either.


    But if Jun Dongjin had been chosen as the Sect Master, there would have been at least some room for easing between the two, and they wouldn''t have directly shed like they did just now.


    "Sect Master, what should we do now?" M¨´ M¨¦ngt¨ªng asked tentatively.


    "What should we do?" M¨´ Q¨©ngli¨²''s thoughts converged, "We can''t deal with Jun Wuji''s strength now. We can only ask for the opinions of our ancestors."


    "The opinions of our ancestors?" M¨´ M¨¦ngt¨ªng''s eyes lit up.


    Daoist Immortal Sect has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, yet there have been thirty generations of Sect Masters.


    On average, each Sect Master has only held the position for one or two thousand years.


    Why is this?


    It''s because of the "Spiritual Realm".


    Daoist Immortal Sect controls the "Ascension tform", which is the passage to the "Spiritual Realm". Each generation of Sect Masters has gone to the Spiritual Realm through the "Ascension tform".


    It is said that the cultivation environment in the Spiritual Realm is far superior to that of the Central Divine Continent. In the Spiritual Realm, the ancestors of Daoist Immortal Sect, there may even be True Immortals in the Dao Fusion Stage.


    "Don''t hold too much hope for our ancestors."


    "Our ancestors are in the Spiritual Realm, and it''s difficult for them to interfere with the mortal world."


    M¨´ Q¨©ngli¨² shook his head. If their ancestors could intervene in the Central Divine Continent, then the Beast Saint''s Nest, the Ghost Pce, and the Blood Demon Sea would have been wiped out long ago, how could they still exist to this day?


    White Jade Ind.


    Jun Dongjin, M¨´ Lian''er, Jun Xiaoyao, and Jun Zhn.


    They are all waiting anxiously.


    "Is this White Jade Ind?"


    "Is it rted to the Lord of White Jade Ind? Is Wuji still rted to the Lord of White Jade Ind?"


    Jun Dongjin''s shock hasn''t stopped.


    Although he vaguely inferred from the "Pocket Universe" disyed by Lin Yuan''s Yin Elemental Spirit just now that his son Jun Wuji''s strength might far exceed their imagination.


    But without Jun Wuji''s own admission, nothing is certain.


    Just then.


    Lin Yuan appeared not far away.


    "Wuji."


    "Brother."


    M¨´ Lian''er, Jun Zhn, Jun Xiaoyao, and Jun Dongjin rushed over first.


    "What exactly happened?"


    "The person who received us just now, why does he look exactly like you?"


    Jun Zhn couldn''t help asking.


    "That''s one of my avatars. You could say it''s a clone."


    Lin Yuan thought for a moment and exined.


    The Martial Dao Elemental Spirit in the pathway of Martial Dao evolution is indeed simr to a "clone", but it doesn''t require nearly as much effort as cultivating a "clone".


    Next.


    Lin Yuan exined some things truthfully.


    For example, his true strength, the so-called Lord of White Jade Ind, and the Yin Elemental Saint, are all his avatars.


    As for why he has so much strength, Lin Yuan''s exnation is that when he was young, he suddenly gained some memories in his mind.


    Among those memories are some iplete cultivation methods.


    It''s just nine parts true and one part false.


    "I read in an ancient book that before the appearance of the Ascension tform, those who exceeded the limit of Void Refinement faced the limit of their lifespan and would try reincarnation."


    "Wuji, you are probably the reincarnation of a powerful being. But the idea of reincarnation is elusive, and you have to face the confusion of being in the womb. The ''true self'' of that powerful being may have passed away, leaving only some memories for you to ept."


    Jun Dongjin pondered for a moment and said.


    Although the idea of reincarnation is elusive, it does exist.


    In the history of Daoist Immortal Sect, there have been some extremely precocious disciples.


    These disciples were born with knowledge and often saw scenes of life in another world shing through their minds.


    "Brother, are you saying that you went to Daoist Immortal Mountain just now and almost broke through it?"


    Jun Zhn blinked.


    She understood every word Lin Yuan said, but whenbined together, why did it feel so strange?


    "I intervened with the Daoist Immortal Sect not with any ulterior motive, but merely to demonstrate my strength, in preparation for spreading the martial way in the future," Lin Yuan stated truthfully.


    To spread the martial way, mere words and familial ties wouldn''t suffice. The Daoist Immortal Sect had the backing of the ''Spiritual Realm'' ancestors, and Lin Yuan had no intention of annihting the sect. After all, he could only stay in this world for five hundred years. Even if he did destroy the Daoist Immortal Sect, they could easily resurface once he left. The separation between the two realms made it difficult for even Dao Fusion Stage True Immortals to interfere in the mortal realm. They could only use limited methods, none of which would have any effect on Lin Yuan.


    However, Lin Yuan had another reason for his actions: to give his parents justice.


    "Who told you to choose the wrong person for the Daoist Immortal Sect?" he thought.


    "Do as you wish, No worries," Jun Dongjing said to his son, looking at him.


    After exining everything to his parents and siblings, Lin Yuan arranged a special cave on White Jade Ind for them.


    White JadeInd was rich in spiritual energy,parable to the immortalnds of the Central Divine Continent, if not the Daoist Immortal Sect itself. With his parents cultivating here, Lin Yuan felt reassured.


    Months passed, and Lin Yuan sat cross-legged in the cave, while a man in blood robes respectfully greeted him nearby.


    "Seen the Great One."


    This man was the Lord of the Blood Demon, who, after months of anxiety in the Blood Demon Sea, decided to visit Lin Yuan personally. After all, with Lin Yuan''s disyed strength, wiping out his Blood Demon Sea would be an easy task. Faced with such a powerful figure, the Lord of the Blood Demon naturally knew what to do.


    "Is this your incarnation?" Lin Yuan asked, interestedly observing the Lord of the Blood Demon.


    This was not the first Ancient Saint to visit Lin Yuan. Before, the King of Ghost Cultivation from the Ghost Pce and the Beast Saint of Beast from the Saint''s Nest had also visited him, offering their core martial arts secrets in exchange for Lin Yuan''s protection.


    Lin Yuan naturally epted them all. These Ancient Saints, who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, had many valuable insights into martial cultivation.


    "Master, I cannot leave the Blood Demon Sea, so I had to send this incarnation," the Lord of the Blood Demon said anxiously, afraid that Lin Yuan would reprimand him for hisck of manners.


    "It''s all right," Lin Yuan waved his hand.


    After sending off the Lord of the Blood Demon, Lin Yuan began to browse through the core technique of the ''Unending Blood Sea.''


    "Fusing with the blood sea, immortal and indestructible. No wonder the Daoist Immortal Sect hasn''t been able to suppress it for hundreds of thousands of years; this already involves certain methods of Dao Fusion Stage," Lin Yuan said with a slightly grave expression.


    The inherent danger of the Unending Blood Sea technique was the inability to leave the merged object. For example, the Lord of the Blood Demon could not leave the Blood Demon Sea because he was the Blood Demon Sea, and the Blood Demon Sea was him.


    With Lin Yuan''s extraordinary insight, it was not impossible to eliminate this danger; it was only a matter of weakening the ''immortal and indestructible'' aspect of the technique slightly.


    Years passed.


    White Jade Ind became more prosperous, and the number of martial cultivators increased significantly. Jun Dongjing, Mu Lian''er, Jun Xiaoyao, and Jun Zhn lived happily on White JadeInd, free from pressure.


    Moreover, the reputation of White JadeInd surpassed that of the Daoist Immortal Sect, elevating Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhn''s status.


    Just then, a terrifying aura rose from the core area of White JadeInd. This aura was so majestic that it seemed to suppress all beings. The entire East Sea, spanning billions of miles, began to tremble with spiritual energy.


    The Saintly Nest.


    The Saint looked at the direction of the East Sea with shock. "Did that person... break through?"


    Years ago, that person could already lift the Daoist Immortal Sect. Now, with another breakthrough, what level would he reach?


    Ghost Pce.


    The King of Ghost Cultivation sighed. He also looked towards the East Sea, unsure of what to think.


    Blood Demon Sea.


    The Lord of the Blood Demon did the same.


    Daoist Immortal Sect.


    Mu Qingliu and Mu Mengting felt the aura from the East Sea and stood up, looking towards it.


    As the aura grew stronger, countless beings subconsciously turned their gaze towards the East Sea.


    It was as if...


    All living beings, spontaneously and unanimously, looked towards one person.

 Chapter 170

    Chapter 170


    Name: Jun Wuji (Lin Yuan)


    Identity: Overseer of the Gate of the Myriad Realms


    Bound Talent: Unrivaled Insight


    Divine Ability: Blood Rebirth


    Current Status: Consciousness Descended


    Remaining Residency Time: Two Hundred and Twenty Years


    At the core cave of White Jade Ind.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, a terrifying aura permeated through the void, spreading out in all directions like ripples on a calm water surface when a stone is dropped.


    "This world."Lin Yuan opened his eyes, gazing towards the direction of the Daoist Immortal Sect in the Central Continent.


    With his current understanding of space, even if the distance was vast, he could sense it. In the depths of the Daoist Immortal Sect, it seemed that a rift had been torn in space, presenting a sense of ipleteness.


    It was like a pristine white paper suddenly getting a ck dot somewhere, making it exceptionally ''prominent'' in Lin Yuan''s view.


    "Is that the ''Ascension tform'' controlled by the Daoist Immortal Sect?"


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    Compared to thest spatial crack in the Divine Weapon World.


    The spatial channel connected by this ascension tform was much more orderly and stable.


    It was simr to the spatial channel formed by the crystal cube that his senior martial brother took out when Lin Yuan had just broken through to the sixth rank.


    Sitting in the Eastern Sea, Lin Yuan carefully observed the ascension tform in the Daoist Immortal Sect for a while before shifting his gaze away.


    For Lin Yuan now, there were no more secrets about the ascension tform; it was merely a stable spatial channel leading to a certain world.


    Of course.


    Even if it was stable, it was still filled with a certain spatial oppression. Only those at the sixth rank or Void Refinement Stage Cultivators could pass through at least.


    "Two hundred and eighty years."


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his consciousness had descended upon this realm for nearly three hundred years, and there was only a little more than half of the five hundred years of residency time left.


    "Sixty years ago, I had already stepped into the twelfth stage of the sixth rank. Fifty years ago, I even reached the peak of the twelfth stage of the sixth rank. Just now, I even barely took half a step into the thirteenth stage of the sixth rank. But the seventh rank, I still haven''t figured it out yet."


    In a hundred years, apart from the Daoist Immortal Scripture of the Daoist Immortal Sect, Lin Yuan hadprehended all the martial arts and secrets of this realm and integrated their essence into his martial path evolution.


    But Lin Yuan understood that he was still a little short of truly opening up the beginning of the seventh rank in his martial path evolution.


    Although there were many seventh-rank martial paths for him toprehend and draw inspiration from, the seventh-rank path Lin Yuan wanted to open up for his martial path evolution would definitely be different and perfectly suited to him.


    "Seventh rank."


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    In the cultivation system of this realm, the corresponding realm to the seventh rank was the Dao Fusion Realm.


    What is the Dao Fusion Realm? It means to merge with the Dao, I am the Dao, and the Dao is me.


    The Dao Fusion Realm is also known as ''True Immortal,'' which is the level truly belonging to immortals.


    "Dao Fusion Realm?"


    "If I could watch the Daoist Immortal Scripture, perhaps it would be helpful for my seventh-rank path?"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    It had to be said that the cultivation system of the immortal path did indeed have extraordinary aspects. The further one progressed, the more terrifying the powers those true immortals wielded.


    "It''s a pity. The end of this cultivation system should have been upied by some existence."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    In this realm where the immortal path prevailed, there happened to be an ascension tform that connected to the spirit realm, which was also suitable for cultivation in the immortal path?


    How could such a coincidence happen? In the Dragon and Tiger Realm, there were powerful beings from the upper realm whoid out the ns, leaving behind the True Martial Sword and the original Demon Spirit.


    And in this world, Lin Yuan still felt traces of involvement from a higher level.


    "It''s just that the two realms are separated. Even if the strongest exist, it''s impossible to cross over out of thin air. There will be heavy restrictions, at most, they can only descend with their means."


    Lin Yuan increasingly felt the terror of the ''Gate of the Myriad Realms.'' This method, which disregarded space and even time, forcibly sent oneself to a certain world, was simply unimaginable.


    You have to know that the Gate of the Myriad Realms not only could send consciousness but also could shuttle flesh, and as long as the power of breaking through the realm was sufficient, it could even urately lock onto a certain world and shuttle there.


    After pondering for a moment.


    Lin Yuan stood up and walked out of the cave.


    His strength and realm had reached a certain limit now.


    Even if he continued to seclude himself for decades or even hundreds of years in the future, he might not necessarily gain anything.


    It wasn''t that the Unrivaled Insight was inadequate. If Lin Yuan didn''t care about the potential of the seventh-rank path, he could have opened up the seventh-rank path now.


    But there were differences between the seventh ranks.


    Some seventh-rank martial paths had the potential to advance to the ninth rank martial paths.


    Some seventh-rank martial paths had no chance of advancing to the eighth rank at all.


    White JadeInd was surrounded by spiritual energy, andyers of formations enveloped the entire ind.


    "Wuji."


    Jun Dongjin, Mu Lian''er, Jun Xiaoyao, Jun Zhn, and others saw Lin Yuaning out and immediately greeted him.


    The movement Lin Yuan made when he broke through just now was not small. Practitioners with a bit of strength throughout the world felt it.


    "Father, Mother."


    Lin Yuan walked over.


    "How is the situation on the ind now?"


    Lin Yuan asked casually.


    Most of the time, Lin Yuan was in seclusion, so he basically entrusted the matters of White JadePavilion to his several disciples, as well as his parents and elder brother and sister.


    However, Jun Dongjin and Mu Lian''er were not very willing to intervene in the affairs of White JadePavilion, but Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhn were somewhat interested.


    "Master."


    Li Qing stood up. As Lin Yuan''s disciple, she was mainly responsible for everything in White JadePavilion, even Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhn were just assisting her.


    "Now at White Jade Pavilion, there are sixteen million first-rank martial disciples, 8.9 millions second-rank martial disciples, 110k third-rank martial disciples, two thousand four hundred and twenty-one fourth-rank martial disciples, and twenty-four fifth-rank martial disciples," Li Qing paused here for a moment, then whispered:


    "No disciples have yet cultivated to the sixth rank."


    "Good" Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    The martial path evolution had only been spreading for over two hundred years. The emergence of so many practitioners was considered rapid development.


    In fact, the fastest development of the martial path evolution was in the past century.


    A hundred years ago, Lin Yuan made a crushing impact on the gates of the Daoist Immortal Sect. Although he didn''t break through the Daoist Immortal Mountain in the end, who didn''t know about his invincible might?


    So, naturally, the martial path evolution spread by Lin Yuan attracted countless people, especially those on the inds of the Eastern Sea, who were eager to join White JadePavilion.


    "Martial Path Sixth Rank."


    Even with Lin Yuan''s guidance, no martial disciple had reached the sixth rank so far.


    Lin Yuan wasn''t surprised by this.


    The sixth rank corresponded to the Void Refinement Stage Cultivators. Even in the main world, the fifth to sixth ranks were a threshold.


    The life essence of a sixth-rank evolver had transformed, and they could already imprint their life marks on the stars of the universe.


    This world was no exception. The Void Refinement Stage Cultivators were undoubtedly the ceiling ofbat power. Even in the Daoist Immortal Sect, most of the time, there was only one Ancient Saint presiding.


    Actually, if it weren''t for Lin Yuan''s enlightenment, breaking the limitations of the martial path evolution and making it inclusive of everything,it''s estimated that there wouldn''t be many martial disciples at the fourth or fifth ranks now.


    Not everyone had talent in the aspects of Yin, Yang, and Tai Chi.


    "Next, I''m going to leave for a while."


    After chatting with his family and disciples for a while, Lin Yuan spoke up.


    "Leave?"


    Mu Lian''er had some guesses in her heart and asked tentatively, "Wuji, do you want to go to the Daoist Immortal Mountain?"


    A hundred years ago, Lin Yuan didn''t forcefully attack the Daoist Immortal Mountain.


    A hundred yearster, after experiencing several breakthroughs, Lin Yuan now walked out of White JadeInd, and his purpose was self-evident.


    "Yes."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    The Daoist Immortal Mountain was indeed one of his destinations.


    "Wuji."


    Mu Lian''er sighed, wanting to say something but hesitated.


    "Mother, rest assured, I know what I''m doing."


    Lin Yuanforted.


    His intention for going to the Daoist Immortal Sect this time was indeed to negotiate.


    Of course, only the ancestors of the Daoist Immortal Sect in the Spirit Realm had the qualification to negotiate with Lin Yuan.


    Outside White JadeInd.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared.


    "Daoist Immortal Sect."


    Lin Yuan nced in the direction of the Central Continent.


    Before going to the Daoist Immortal Sect, Lin Yuan had one more thing to do.


    That was the White JadeInd beneath his feet.


    To be precise, it was the bottom of the deep sea beneath White JadeInd.


    The position of White JadeInd was not fixed. Every two thousand years, it would sink to the bottom of the deep sea, and then rise again after two thousand years.


    Now White JadeInd had be a holynd for martial cultivators.


    Even in the future, if the center of the martial path shifted to the Central Continent, the position of White JadeInd could not be reced.


    Just like the ancestral star of the Human Civilization Alliance in the main world.


    The Human Civilization Alliance''s territory was vast, including countless inhabiteds, but there was only one ancestral star.


    Symbolic significance outweighed everything.


    In this case, if White JadeInd continued to follow the rule of sinking and floating every two thousand years, it would naturally be somewhat inappropriate.


    At the bottom of the deep sea.


    It was almostpletely dark here.


    Terrifying pressure came from all directions.


    Even Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation stage cultivators didn''t dare to stay in such an environment for a long time.


    What''s more,the most terrifying thing at the bottom of the deep sea was not the extreme environment.


    It was those ancient monsters and beasts that had existed for hundreds of thousands of years.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan followed White JadeInd and came to the bottom of the deep sea beneath it.


    "This is a deep-sea eye. Every two thousand years, when the seawater flows, it generates a huge suction force, swallowing arge amount of seawater and sending it to the other end of the Eastern Sea, repeating every two thousand years."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    And White JadeInd was located on the upper part of the sea eye. Every time the suction force was generated, it would sink uncontrobly until it reached the bottom of the deep sea, blocking the sea eye, before stopping.


    When the suction force disappeared, White JadeInd naturally floated up again.


    "To resist this suction force is not difficult, it''s just a matter of sealing this sea eye, not to mention Void Refinement Stage Cultivators, even Divine Transformation stage Celestial Lords can do it."


    "However."


    Lin Yuan nced around.


    With his perception, he naturally sensed many terrifying deep-sea monsters nearby.


    If he started to seal this sea eye, it would definitely rm those deep-sea monsters. These deep-sea monsters were huge in size, and they were in their own territory.


    Even if they were Void Refinement Stage Cultivators, if they were surrounded by a group of deep-sea monsters, they would probably only be able to escape in embarrassment.


    But these things were nothing to Lin Yuan.


    "Seal."


    Lin Yuan looked towards the deep-sea eye, his thoughts stirring slightly, and a stream of Qi surged out, beginning to seal the enormous sea eye.


    Buzz.


    Many deep-sea monsters in the distance sensed the movement here.


    They immediately swam towards Lin Yuan''s location.


    The next moment, these deep-sea monsters seemed to sense something.


    They fled at a speed ten times or even dozens of times faster than they came.


    "Not bad."


    Lin Yuan nced at those deep-sea monsters fleeing frantically. He had intentionally leaked a little bit of his aura just now, which almost scared those deep-sea monsters out of their wits.


    Although deep-sea monsters had low intelligence, they weren''t stupid. Faced with a presence far beyond their own, who would dare to approach?


    An hourter, Lin Yuanpletely sealed the deep-sea eye.


    Then he left the seabed and headed towards the direction of the Central Continent.


    Daoist Immortal Mountain.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared silently.


    A hundred years had passed, and there were no significant changes in the Daoist Immortal Mountain.


    But the disciples of the sect had obviously be much more low-key. Unless there was something important, they would hardly leave the Daoist Immortal Mountain.


    "You two stay outside."


    After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan''s thoughts moved slightly, and his Yin and Yang avatars came out and stood on both sides.


    Although, with Lin Yuan''s current strength, even if the ancestors of the Daoist Immortal Sect in the Spirit Realm were really invited down, it probably wouldn''t pose any threat to him.


    But it''s better to be safe than sorry.


    As a precaution, Lin Yuan still nned to leave his Yin and Yang avatars outside.


    Lin Yuan''s original self and his Yin and Yang avatars were one entity. As long as one of them remained, even if the other two were extinguished and fell, it wouldn''t be considered death. They could be reborn again.


    With the Yin creating the Yang, or the Yang creating the Yin.


    Ultimately, the Taiji gave birth to all things, and the "all things" here referred to Lin Yuan''s physical body.


    "Leave a drop of blood outside."


    Lin Yuan raised his right hand, and a drop of bright red blood appeared, falling into the Yang avatar.


    Although the fusion of Yin and Yang into Taiji and then the derivation of the physical body required a considerable amount of time.


    And it also consumed some primordial energy.


    It would be much better if blood could be used as a substitute.


    Lin Yuan''s mastered fleshly divine ability¡ªBlood Rebirth.


    Even with just a drop of blood, he could quickly be reborn. This was the power of divine abilities.


    "Now it''s about right."


    Lin Yuan looked at the arrangements he had left behind, a smile appearing on his face.


    With this backup n, even if the most unlikely situation urred, he could still recover at the fastest speed.


    "Daoist Immortal Sect."


    Lin Yuan turned his head and looked towards the nearby mountain.


    Various protective arrays shed through Lin Yuan''s eyes.


    If it were a hundred years ago, faced with these protective arrays, Lin Yuan might have to forcefully break through many of them.


    But after a hundred years, Lin Yuan not only cultivated diligently but alsoprehended the Daoist Immortal Sect''s protective arrays with his transcendent wisdom. Now, he understood all the protective arrays of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    A hundred years ago, Lin Yuan''s original self and Yin and Yang avatars joined forces to attack, with the purpose of observing the operation of their formations.


    Under the tremendous pressure caused by Lin Yuan''s actions, many protective arrays of the Daoist Immortal Sect operated beyond their capacity, allowing Lin Yuan to see some of the essence of these protective arrays.


    Byprehending the essence of these arrays with his transcendent wisdom, Lin Yuan today could easily enter and exit many protective arrays of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    Especially with regard to many protective arrays of the Daoist Immortal Sect, he knew them like the back of his hand and could easily pass through them.

 Chapter 171

    Chapter 171


    Daoist Immortal Mountain.


    At the highest point, in the main hall.


    Mu Qingliu and Mu Mengting''s faces were heavy.


    Not long ago, the aura from the East Sea made them uneasy.


    If before, Mu Qingliu had great confidence in the sect''s protective array, believing no one could break in.


    But after the scene a hundred years ago, Jun Wuji, like a true immortal, split into three and nearly brought down Daoist Immortal Mountain.


    Mu Qingliu''s confidence waned.


    It was then he realized that the Daoist Immortal Mountain could be shaken by others.


    And in the past hundred years, he had felt at least three breakthroughsing from the East Sea.Mu Qingliu grew even more uneasy.


    A hundred years ago, Jun Wuji nearly breached Daoist Immortal Mountain. Now, after another hundred years, if he continued to attack Daoist Immortal Sect...


    Could Daoist Immortal Mountain withstand it?


    Mu Qingliu''s expression was heavy.


    He already had an answer in his heart.


    It couldn''t withstand it.


    Even a hundred years ago.


    If Jun Wuji was willing to stay and suppress Daoist Immortal Mountain.


    With his original body and two avatars'' strength, he could gradually dissolve the sect''s protective array.


    After several hundred years, the sect''s protective array of Daoist Immortal Mountain might even copse without being attacked.


    "Master."


    "What did the ancestor of the Spirit World say?"


    Mu Mengting was equally uneasy. Compared to Mu Qingliu, he felt greater pressure. Who didn''t know he and Jun Dongjin werepetitors?


    He had even secretly arranged for someone to carry Void Refinement Stage talismans, intending to kill Jun Dongjin.


    Now that Jun Dongjin''s son had such great ability, if Daoist Immortal Mountain was breached, would he have a good ending?


    "I''ve already spoken to the ancestor."


    "The ancestor said, if Jun Wuji attacks the mountain next time, we can contact him anytime."


    Mu Qingliu said softly.


    A hundred years ago, when he witnessed Jun Wuji''s threatening power against Daoist Immortal Sect, he had already contacted the ancestor of the Spirit World.


    The ancestor responded in this way.


    In recent decades, every time Lin Yuan made a breakthrough.


    He would contact the ancestor of the Spirit World, and each time he received the same reply.


    "That''s good."


    Mu Mengting breathed a sigh of relief.


    Now, the only thing that could give him a sense of security was the lofty ancestors of the Spirit World.


    Speaking of which, Mu Mengting felt quite aggrieved.


    Throughout the generations of Daoist Immortal Sect''s Void Refinement Stage cultivators, who didn''t overlook the world and control everything?


    Even if the previous sect master was still alive, the newly born Void Refinement Stage cultivators were also showered with glory and dominated the world.


    But what about him?


    Just as he broke through to the Void Refinement Stage and became an ancient saint, he ushered in the darkest period of Daoist Immortal Sect in tens of thousands of years.


    Almost lost his own mountain gate, all the disciples of the sect were trembling with fear, and he, the ancient saint, dared not even step out, fearing being caught off guard and killed by Jun Wuji.


    "With the ancestors of the Spirit World here, Jun Wuji..."


    Mu Mengting was about to say a few harsh words.


    Suddenly.


    A voice came.


    "What about me?"


    As soon as this was said.


    Mu Mengting was stunned, as if trying to recall who said these words.


    But the next moment.


    Mu Mengting trembled all over.


    Because he turned his head and saw, on the side of the main hall, a figure appeared out of nowhere.


    This figure had a calm face, without any hint of a strong aura, but just standing there made Mu Mengting, this ancient saint, almost suffocate.


    Jun Wuji.


    It was Jun Wuji.


    How did hee in? How did he appear here?


    Countless thoughts shed through Mu Mengting''s mind.


    At this moment, he was puzzled. Clearly, there were no warnings from the protective array outside, and it hadn''t been breached.


    How did Jun Wujie in?


    "Jun Wuji?"


    Mu Qingliu also saw Jun Wuji.


    At this moment, his face turned slightly pale.


    However, no matter how fearful and uneasy Mu Qingliu and Mu Mengting were in their hearts.


    They never thought of running away.


    What a joke.


    Run away? Where could they run to?


    This was the safest ce in Daoist Immortal Sect.


    Even here, Jun Wuji coulde in silently.


    It meant that between heaven and earth, there was nothing that could stop Jun Wuji anymore.


    "Alright."


    "Let''s get to business."


    Lin Yuan looked at Mu Qingliu, "Take me to the Ascension tform."


    In this realm, the Sect Master of Daoist Immortal Sect had no say in spreading martial arts.


    It mainly depended on the intentions of the ancestors of Daoist Immortal Sect in the Spirit World.


    Lin Yuan came to Daoist Immortal Sect this time to negotiate with the ancestors of the sect.


    "Okay."


    Mu Qingliu immediately agreed.


    With Lin Yuan''s strength, if he had any intention of killing the moment he appeared in the hall, none of them would survive.


    Since that was the case.


    Mu Qingliu knew what he should do.


    "Follow me."


    Mu Qingliu deeply nced at Lin Yuan.


    He nced at his former grandson.


    "Master, the Ascension tform is my..."


    Mu Mengting saw the situation and became somewhat anxious.


    The Ascension tform was the key to contacting the ancestors of the Spirit World, thest trump card of Daoist Immortal Sect. Was it okay to bring Jun Wuji over like this?


    "Nonsense."


    Lin Yuan nced at Mu Mengting.


    In an instant.


    Mu Mengting''s eyes dimmed, vitality fading away.


    Dead.


    "Mengting."


    Mu Qingliu sighed inwardly at the sight.


    Originally, Mu Mengting had a grudge against the Jun family, and had even sent people to kill Jun Dongjin''s family.


    In such a situation, if Mu Mengting could just be honest, try not to raise his presence as much as possible, perhaps he could still survive.


    But unfortunately. Mu Qingliu didn''t know what to say.


    Didn''t he realize he was cooperating so well, yet still thinking about preserving the Ascension tform?


    At the heart of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    Within a secret realm.


    Mu Qingliu stopped.


    "This is where the Ascension tform is ced."


    Mu Qingliu looked at Lin Yuan and said softly.


    "Open it."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    This coincided with the location where he felt the space tearing apart.


    Mu Qingliu was tactful enough not to have any ulterior motives in this matter.


    "Okay."


    What Mu Qingliu didn''t know was.


    If he had any other thoughts just now, he couldn''t have concealed them from Lin Yuan at all.


    At Lin Yuan''s current level, space was like paper before him, and any fluctuations could be clearly felt.


    Swish.


    Under Mu Qingliu''s control.


    The entrance to the secret realm in front gradually opened.


    The interior space was revealed.


    At the deepest part of the space.


    A stone portal, only half a meter tall, caught the eye.


    "That''s the Ascension tform?"


    Lin Yuan''s gaze went over.


    This stone portal was faintly surrounded by spatial fluctuations, and the inside of the portal was silver-white.


    Just as Lin Yuan was observing this portal.


    Deep in his mind, the majestic and grand Gate of the Myriad Realms suddenly began to shine.


    As if an invisible fluctuation swept over the distant Ascension tform.


    After a moment.


    A piece of information was transmitted from the Gate of the Myriad Realms to Lin Yuan''s mind.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan''s spirit trembled slightly.


    He nced at Mu Qingliu beside him.


    He found that he had not noticed the change just now at all.


    As if the power swept out by the Gate of the Myriad Realms was in another dimension, unnoticed by anyone.


    "The ''coordinates'' of the Spirit Realm."


    Lin Yuan rubbed his brow. The information transmitted from the Gate of the Myriad Realms was indeed the ''coordinates'' of the ''Spirit Realm''.


    At this moment.


    Part of Lin Yuan''s mind sank into his mind.


    He looked towards the majestic and grand Gate of the Myriad Realms.


    If he observed carefully, he would find that beneath the Gate of the Myriad Realms, near the threshold, there were five imprints.


    These five imprints were the world coordinates of the Martial World, Dragon-Tiger World, Divine Weapon World, Five Realms World, and the current Immortal World respectively.


    These five worlds were all worlds that Lin Yuan had traversed before, so they were all locked in by the Gate of the Myriad Realms and captured their world coordinates.


    It was because of this that with the world coordinates, Lin Yuan could spend ten strands of ''Breaking Boundary Source Power'' to reappear in these worlds.


    But now.


    After the five world coordinate imprints.


    The sixth world coordinate imprint was reformed.


    It was the world coordinates of the ''Spirit Realm''.


    Although Lin Yuan had never descended into the Spirit Realm.


    But since the Ascension tform was connected to the Spirit Realm, its interior must contain the world coordinates of the Spirit Realm.


    Just now, the power of the Gate of the Myriad Realms swept over the Ascension tform invisibly, replicating its world coordinates.


    "Spirit Realm."


    Lin Yuan''s expression was slightly strange.


    In theory, with the coordinates of the Spirit Realm, even if Lin Yuan returned to the main world, he could still spend ten strands of ''Breaking Boundary Source Power'' to reappear in the Spirit Realm.


    Mu Qingliu, who was beside him, saw Lin Yuan staring at the Ascension tform, dared not to urge him, and could only continue to wait.


    "Let your sect ancestore down."


    Lin Yuan patiently waited for a while, confirmed that there were no other world coordinates inside the Ascension tform, and then spoke.


    "Ah?"


    Mu Qingliu was slightly shocked when he heard this, never expecting Lin Yuan to be so straightforward, giving him time to summon the ancestor in the Spirit Realm.


    "Okay."


    Mu Qingliu hesitated for a moment before agreeing.


    Anyway, this was all arranged by Lin Yuan, so no matter what happenedter, it had nothing to do with him.


    Mu Qingliu entered the secret realm and approached the Ascension tform. With a respectful demeanor, he performed some kind of secret technique, his lips moving slightly as if he said something.


    After a moment.


    The Ascension tform began to glow.


    Spatial fluctuations became violent, as if a terrifying force pierced through the two realms, descending along the fixed spatial channel.


    In front of the Ascension tform.


    A figure dressed in Daoist robes slowly materialized.


    "I am Cangqing Immortal. Is it I whom you wish to see?"


    The Daoist''s figure was ethereal, smiling at Lin Yuan.


    "A projection of a Dao Fusion True Immortal?"


    Lin Yuan was also observing the other party.


    The Spirit Realm and the Central Divine Continent were separated by two realms. Even powerful beings from the Upper Realm could not manifest their true selves in the Lower Realm. They could only manifest a projection.


    Moreover, this projection could not stray too far from the Ascension tform, otherwise it might lose contact with its Upper Realm origin and copse directly.


    "Hmm?"


    Cangqing Immortal looked at Lin Yuan, bing more and more astonished as he looked.


    Mu Qingliu had long informed him of many pieces of information about Lin Yuan.


    For example, he had cultivated for hundreds of years, surpassing the pinnacle of Void Refinement, and simultaneously created another cultivation systemparable to the Immortal Path.


    Cangqing Immortal had also shared this information with the other ancestors of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    All the ancestors unanimously believed that Lin Yuan must have been possessed by some powerful being tens of thousands of years ago.


    Otherwise.


    In the Central Divine Continent, it was almost impossible for someone to achieve such a level without relying on the cultivation of the Daoist Immortal Sect. Especially the concept and potential of the martial arts cultivation system, how could it be created within a few hundred years?


    Certainly, it was believed by the ancestors of the Daoist Immortal Sect that some powerful beings, reincarnated and living through countless ages, obtained this martial arts cultivation system, and now began to spread it, causing a series of disturbances in the Central Divine Continent.


    This was the ''truth'' spected by the ancestors of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    The reason why Cangqing Immortal descended as a projection into the Lower Realm this time was because among the ancestors of the Daoist Immortal Sect throughout the ages, Cangqing Immortal had lived the longest and knew the most old monsters. Perhaps he could see through Lin Yuan''s background and determine which powerful being had possessed him.


    As long as the origin of Lin Yuan was known, everything would be easy to handle.


    However, now.


    Cangqing Immortal was somewhat bewildered.


    Because ording to his observation.


    Lin Yuan''s soul and body were perfectly integrated.


    He didn''t seem to be possessed at all. It must be known that even if a Dao Fusion True Immortal was possessed, there would still be subtle rejection due to the different origins of the soul and body.


    Relying on this rejection, it was easy to detect the identity of the possessor.


    But now.


    There was no such rejection feeling on Lin Yuan at all.


    There were two possibilities.


    One was that the projection he descended with was too weak to perceive such rejection.


    The second was that Lin Yuan was not possessed at all.


    Cangqing Immortal felt that the former possibility was unlikely.


    Even if the projection he descended with was weak, it was still a projection of a Dao Fusion True Immortal.


    With his vision, he could naturally see that Lin Yuan had not entered the Dao Fusion Realm.


    Considering this disparity in realms, Cangqing Immortal did not believe that he would fail to detect the rejection feeling of possession.


    Since the first possibility was ruled out.


    Then it must be the second possibility.


    Lin Yuan hade to this point today, growing into the strongest in this realm over hundreds of years, and creating a cultivation system no weaker than the Immortal Path.


    All of this waspletely self-made.


    "I didn''t expect such a monster to be born in this barren Lower Realm."


    Cangqing Immortal silently looked at Lin Yuan, "Even in the Spirit Realm, such talent would only be found among the core disciples of those Immortal King-level forces. Even creating a cultivation system different from the Immortal Path, this potential."


    Cangqing Immortal''s thoughts surged.


    There was no doubt.


    Lin Yuan''s potential was absolutely the most abnormal one he had ever seen, evenpared to those Immortal King''s heirs, or even the young Immortal Kings. After all, Lin Yuan achieved his current achievements in the Lower Realm, while those Immortal King''s heirs and young Immortal Kings grew up in the vast Spirit Realm. These two werepletely iparable.


    "Do you want to spread the martial arts cultivation system in the Central Divine Continent?"


    Cangqing Immortal looked at Lin Yuan and said slowly.


    Beside him, Mu Qingliu heard his ancestor say this sentence.


    His subconscious retreated a few steps, as if he had already seen the tension toe.


    However, the next sentence from Cangqing Immortal.


    Made Mu Qingliu stay in ce.


    "It''s not impossible."


    Cangqing Immortal pondered for a moment, and said seriously.


    ...

 Chapter 172

    Chapter 172


    "Junior wants to spread the martial arts cultivation system."


    "It''s not impossible."


    Cangqing Immortal observed Lin Yuan for a while and said seriously.


    With Cangqing Immortal''ste-stage Dao Fusion realm, he naturally could see the immense potential in Lin Yuan, which could be described as unbelievable.


    Such a figure, once in the Spirit Realm, would easily step into the Dao Fusion realm. He might even have a chance to touch the realm above the Dao Fusion realm, overlooking the Spirit Realm.


    Facing such a seed of Immortal King, suppressing or killing him would be the most foolish choice.


    Because it would be meaningless¡ªseeding would bring no benefits, and failing would be a disaster.


    So, making friends was the best choice. Even if they couldn''t be friends, they must never offend him.


    Lin Yuan wanted to spread the martial arts cultivation system in the Central Divine Continent. This would definitely have an impact on the immortal cultivation system. That''s why Mu Qingliu dared not agree, no matter what.If he agreed, how would he exin it to the ancestors of the sect after entering the Spirit Realm through the Ascension tform?


    However, as the strongest in the Spirit Realm among the Daoist Immortal Sect, Cangqing Immortal was qualified to make this decision.


    "Hmm?"


    "Can martial arts be spread?"


    Hearing Cangqing Immortal''s words, Lin Yuan looked somewhat surprised.


    Originally, he thought that at least he would have to have a showdown, demonstrating his strength, and finally threatening the extinction of the Daoist Immortal Sect''s lineage in the Central Divine Continent to negotiate and eventually reach some agreement.


    As for what would happen if the Daoist Immortal Sect renegedter? As long as Lin Yuan didn''t ascend to the Spirit Realm, the Daoist Immortal Sect wouldn''t dare to renege.


    Even the Lord of the Blood Demon could live for hundreds of thousands of years. As a being far surpassing the Lord of the Blood Demon, Lin Yuan could live for millions or even tens of millions of years. Of course, this was an external perception.


    In fact, Lin Yuan would have to return to the main world in a little over two hundred years. But only Lin Yuan knew about this. The Daoist Immortal Sect and even the ancestors of the Spirit Realm were unaware of this.


    Even if Lin Yuan disappeared, they would only think that Lin Yuan was hiding in some corner, quietly observing the situation in the Central Divine Continent.


    "Ah?"


    Mu Qingliu was a little bewildered.


    Did Senior Cangqing justpromise?


    What about the ''bold words'' he said before?


    Mu Qingliu couldn''t understand, but he knew that every move the ancestor made had deep meaning. Since he said so, he must have discovered something.


    "That''s right."


    "The Central Divine Continent is just one of the millions of lower realms in the Spirit Realm. It''s nothing. For geniuses like Junior, the real stage is the Spirit Realm."


    Cangqing Immortal said gently.


    This made Mu Qingliu feel somewhat ufortable for a while.


    "The Spirit Realm."


    Lin Yuan nced at the ''coordinates'' of the Spirit Realm on the Gate to the Myriad Realms.


    In the future, if he encountered any bottlenecks, and couldn''t ovee them with ordinary travels, he could go to the Spirit Realm for a stroll.


    "What do I need to do?"


    Lin Yuan asked directly.


    Although Cangqing Immortal appeared kind and friendly, Lin Yuan was clear that the other party couldn''t be a great person.


    "It''s simple."


    "In the future, when Junior ascends to the Spirit Realm, help the Immortal Sect once if possible."


    Cangqing Immortal said.


    This wasn''t an unreasonable request. First of all, the phrase ''if possible'' left a lot of room for maneuver, mainly depending on whether Lin Yuan wanted to help.


    Cangqing Immortal knew that dealing with geniuses like Lin Yuan, one must never set overly harshmitments.


    "No problem."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    He vaguely felt that Cangqing Immortal was ''pleasing'' and ''investing'' in him. There weren''t even any basic restrictive conditions; Lin Yuan waspletely optional whether he wanted to help or not.


    But no matter what, his goal was achieved.


    "How to ensure it?"


    Lin Yuan asked the key question.


    How to ensure that the Daoist Immortal Sect would always allow the spread of the martial arts cultivation system?


    "I can make a Dao oath."


    Cangqing Immortal said without hesitation.


    "A Dao oath?"


    Lin Yuan was slightly puzzled.


    "Junior may not know. A Dao oath is made in the name of the great Spirit Realm consciousness. Even Immortal Kings dare not vite it."


    Cangqing Immortal exined with a smile.


    "When I make a Dao oathter, attracting the attention of the Spirit Realm consciousness, Junior will know."


    After Cangqing Immortal finished speaking, his expression became slightly serious.


    "I, Cangqing, swear in the witness of the great Spirit Realm consciousness." Cangqing Immortal roughly repeated the promises rted to ensuring the spread of martial arts cultivation.


    After listening, Lin Yuan did not find any problems. At least Cangqing Immortal did not y any word games.


    In fact, the other party couldn''t tamper with this. Since they wanted to befriend Lin Yuan and saw his future potential, they still had some sincerity at least.


    "Dao oath."


    Just as Cangqing Immortal finished swearing, Lin Yuan vaguely felt a distant and majestic waveing.


    This wave did not follow the Ascension tform but descended from outside the world.


    Hum.


    A fluctuation surrounded Cangqing Immortal, and Lin Yuan had a feeling that if Cangqing Immortal vited his oath, this fluctuation would appear again.


    "The consciousness of the Spirit Realm can actually be used like this?" Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised.


    Compared to the worlds Lin Yuan had previously traveled through, the consciousness of the Spirit Realm was already in an extremely mature state, almost indistinguishable from the Heavenly Dao.


    "You can rx now, Junior." Cangqing Immortal noticed the fluctuation receding and smiled at Lin Yuan.


    "I have one more request." Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and continued.


    Mu Qingliu, standing beside him, twitched his mouth slightly.


    To dare to negotiate conditions with their own ancestor, Lin Yuan was the first.


    "Please go ahead, Junior," Cangqing Immortal said nonchntly.


    Since even the Dao oath had been sworn, any other requests were inconsequential.


    "I hope that in the future, if the martial arts cultivation system can reach the sixth rank, practitioners can also ascend to the Spirit Realm through the Ascension tform," Lin Yuan said.


    The Spirit Realm was a vast world far surpassing the Central Divine Continent. Allowing practitioners of the martial arts evolution system to go to the Spirit Realm and establish themselves there would greatly benefit Lin Yuan''s spread of martial arts.


    Of course, without Lin Yuan''s protection, the spread of the martial arts evolution system in the Spirit Realm might not be so smooth. But this was just a move Lin Yuan casually made; sess or failure wouldn''t affect much.


    "No problem," Cangqing Immortal nodded.


    Since the martial arts cultivation system was allowed to spread, ascending to the Spirit Realm through the Ascension tform would naturally not be difficult.


    Next, under Lin Yuan''s gaze, Cangqing Immortal made another Dao oath.


    After Lin Yuan left, Cangqing Immortal''s smile faded.


    "Ancestor," Mu Qingliu hesitated on the side.


    He had noticed the issues in the conversation between the ancestor and Jun Wuji just now.


    Cangqing Immortal was basically letting Jun Wuji freeload.


    "You don''t understand." Cangqing Immortal nced at Mu Qingliu and shook his head. "With such talent, even in the Spirit Realm, he will shine brightly. He can make demands of me now; in a thousand or ten thousand years, he won''t even spare us a nce."


    Cangqing Immortal''s gaze was calm.


    Anyway, it didn''t cause him much loss. Even if he allowed the spread of martial arts, the immortal path would still exist.


    "The next sect master of the sect will be selected from the direct bloodline of this Junior." After pondering for a moment, Cangqing Immortal continued.


    Usually, he wouldn''t bother with the selection of the sect master of the Central Divine Continent''s sect.


    Because such things were beneath his notice. But now, it involved Jun Wuji, so he had to intervene.


    "Yes," Mu Qingliu said respectfully.


    At this moment, he also felt Cangqing Immortal''s value for Jun Wuji.


    After sending away Cangqing Immortal, Mu Qingliu returned to the highest hall of the Immortal Mountain withplex thoughts.


    "You?" Mu Qingliu immediately saw Jun Wuji standing outside the main hall.


    "I want to borrow the Daoist Immortal Scripture for a look," Lin Yuan stated his purpose.


    The Daoist Immortal Scripture contained essential descriptions of the Dao Fusion realm, which Lin Yuan was quite interested in.


    Mu Qingliu remained silent for a moment, considering Cangqing Immortal''s attitude. He readily handed over the Daoist Immortal Scripture, which only the past sect masters could cultivate.


    On the Ninth Heavenly Layer.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    Numerous descriptions of the Daoist Immortal Scripture kept emerging in his mind.


    ["Your insight defies the heavens. By studying the Daoist Immortal Scripture, your understanding of the essence of the Dao Fusion realm deepens."]


    ["Your insight defies the heavens. By studying the Daoist Immortal Scripture, your understanding of the essence of the Dao Fusion realm deepens."]


    ["Your insight defies the heavens. By studying the Daoist Immortal Scripture, your understanding of the essence of the Dao Fusion realm deepens."]


    "The Dao Fusion realm."


    "Seventh rank." Lin Yuan''s expression was pensive.


    Afterprehending the Daoist Immortal Scripture, the opening of the seventh-rank segment of Lin Yuan''s martial arts evolution path will be faster.


    "Now, the beginning of the seventh-rank segment of the martial arts evolution path has twelve directions."


    "These twelve directions each have their own essence and advantages, but I''m still somewhat dissatisfied." Lin Yuan frowned slightly.


    Afterprehending the Daoist Immortal Scripture, Lin Yuan once again opened up the beginning of the seventh-rank segment in twelve directions. However, there was still a gap between this and Lin Yuan''s expectations for the martial arts evolution path.


    "Should I continue to wait?"


    "Or should I break through to the seventh rank first?" Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and decided on thetter.


    If it were in the main world, he would definitely n to take it slow and continueprehending.


    After all, the physical body in the main world was his true body. After reaching the sixth rank, it would be difficult to turn back, especially during the crucial stage from the sixth to the seventh rank.


    But in this world, even if he took the wrong path, it wouldn''t affect Lin Yuan''s true body.


    After the sixth rank, it would be difficult to turn back because the evolution path being cultivated had already affected the soul.


    In such a situation, changing to another cloned body or taking a spiritual treasure that could cleanse the body would be useless.


    Because the influence on the soul wouldn''t disappear.


    As for cleansing the soul, it was extremely mysterious. Who would dare to easily cleanse their own soul?


    Not afraid of facing a fate of irreversible cmity?


    However, for Lin Yuan now, these were not constraints.


    Every time he transmigrated, it was a descent of consciousness.


    What is consciousness? It is the core essence beyond the soul.


    Whether it''s the sixth rank, the seventh, or even the eighth, it would involve the soul, but it''s difficult to affect consciousness.


    Lin Yuan was clearly dissatisfied with these twelve directions of the seventh rank, but still chose to forcefully break through.


    Apart from the fact that it wouldn''t affect his own body much.


    More so, because the sixth and seventh ranks have a qualitative difference.


    Even if the seventh rank is mediocre, it is still the seventh rank. At this realm, what one sees, thinks, knows, and desires surpasses the sixth rank.


    If Lin Yuan were to step into the seventh rank, he couldpletely rethink the path of martial arts evolution from the sixth rank to the seventh rank.


    In the main world, the evolvers that have the strength of the eighth or even the ninth rank. With such heights, establishing a pathway of potential for the third, fourth, and fifth ranks is not difficult.


    Time slowly passed.


    A hundred years shed by.


    Since Lin Yuan had a good talk with the ancestor of the Daoist Immortal Sect, Cangqing Immortal.


    The White Jade Pavilion has seen unprecedented development, and even began to cooperateplementarily with the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    The Sect Master of the Immortal Sect, Mu Qingliu, personally came to White Jade Ind and discussed many matters with Jun Dongjin and Mu Lian''er.


    Mu Qingliu''s intention was to invite Jun Dongjin to be the next Sect Master of the Immortal Sect.


    Jun Dongjin wasn''t interested in this. Since he spent a hundred years on Mangya Mountain, Jun Dongjin saw through the so-called struggle for power. He liked the environment of White Jade Ind now, so he refused Mu Qingliu''s invitation.


    And in the final discussion, Jun Xiaoyao seeded as the next Sect Master of the Immortal Sect.


    Jun Xiaoyao is Jun Wuji''s elder brother, and their bloodline is very close, meeting the requirements of Cangqing Immortal for the next generation Sect Master of the Immortal Sect.


    Far to the west.


    This ce is deeper than the wilderness. There is almost no spiritual energy between heaven and earth, so few peoplee here, even the resilient beasts don''t usually stay here.


    And now.


    On a giant rock.


    There was indeed a figure lying.


    "Seventh rank."


    "I didn''t expect there would still be world suppression?"


    Lin Yuan felt somewhat helpless. Decades ago, he was infinitely close to the seventh rank, but after attempting to break through, he indeed felt the suppression from heaven and earth.


    "No wonder there were many great powers that surpassed the limit of Void Refinement tens of thousands of years ago, but there wasn''t a single one in the Dao Fusion realm."


    "Until the appearance of the Ascension tform, those powers who ascended to the Spirit Realm gradually entered the Dao Fusion realm."


    Lin Yuan sighed.


    "What to do."


    "I don''t want to enter the Spirit Realm through the Ascension tform."


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    Without knowing the situation on the other side of the Ascension tform, Lin Yuan didn''t want to take risks.


    Moreover.


    Even if he wanted to enter the Spirit Realm.


    Lin Yuan would also enter the Spirit Realm through the Gate of the Myriad Worlds, entering with his consciousness.


    This method can perfectly integrate into the Spirit Realm and not be deliberately targeted.


    "The so-called world suppression is not an absolute barrier to breaking through to the seventh rank."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. Over the past few decades, he has been trying to understand methods to evade world suppression, and now he has some clues.


    "Take it slowly."


    "There is still more than a hundred years."


    Lin Yuan wasn''t in a hurry. As long as he breaks through to the seventh rank within the maximum residency time.


    Time slowly passed.


    Another hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.


    At the end of the East Sea, it was still an endless ocean here.


    In theory, no one shoulde here, after all, there is no spiritual energy, and cultivators wouldn''t even spare a nce.


    As for ordinary people? They couldn''t even reach here.


    Above the ocean, there are many threats like tsunamis and giant beasts that ordinary people can''t resist.


    However, at this moment.


    A small boat was drifting on the calm sea.


    Hum! An inexplicable aura began to spread from within the small boat, spreading in all directions.


    ...

 Chapter 173

    Chapter 173


    Daoist Immortal Sect.


    The sect master, Mu Qingliu, stood at the highest point.


    "The current Daoist Immortal Sect,"


    Mu Qingliu silently gazed at the numerous disciples below.


    Since epting martial cultivators, the disciples of the sect had obviously be much more rxed.


    After all, the existence behind the martial cultivation system was too frightening. Many disciples were unaware of Lin Yuan''s current strength.


    But just over three hundred years ago, Lin Yuan alone had shaken the Daoist Immortal Mountain to its core.


    That terrifying scene was still a nightmare for many disciples.


    And now.The paths of immortality and martial cultivation had already reached a semi-merged state, with Jun Wuji''s elder brother, Jun Xiaoyao, being groomed as the future sect master.


    "A blessing in disguise."


    Mu Qingliu sighed.


    At least the current scene was much better than provoking Jun Wuji, putting the twopletely at odds.


    At least Mu Qingliu dared not imagine the consequences.


    "But why hasn''t Wujie yet? The Ascension tform is ready at any time."


    Mu Qingliu was somewhat puzzled.


    ording to reason, two hundred years ago, Jun Wuji''s strength had already reached the limit of the world.


    ording to the ancestors of the spirit world, under the suppression of the world in the Central Divine Continent, at most one could infinitely approach the Dao Fusion Realm.


    As for stepping into the Dao Fusion Realm, it was basically impossible.


    This had nothing to do with aptitude, but with the limitations of heaven and earth.


    Just as Mu Qingliu was puzzled.


    A distant breath came from the end of the Eastern Sea.


    "Hmm?"


    "What is this?"


    Mu Qingliu''s pupils contracted.


    This kind of breath, far inferior to when Lin Yuan broke through two hundred years ago, still caused a slight reaction among the slightly powerful cultivators between heaven and earth.


    But at this moment, Mu Qingliu was trembling from the depths of his soul, as if the source of this breath was an existenceparable to the entire heaven and earth.


    "Is it Wuji?"


    Mu Qingliu steadied himself and immediately rushed to the deepest part of the mountain, into the secret realm where the Ascension tform was located.


    Mu Qingliu didn''t hesitate to activate the Ascension tform and contact the ancestors of the spirit world.


    "What''s the matter?"


    "Does this old man need to pay a price this time?"


    A somewhat irritable voice came, obviously not the previous Cangqing Immortal.


    As the strongest in the Daoist Immortal Sect in the spirit world, most of Cangqing Immortal''s time was spent in seclusion cultivation after reaching the Dao Fusion Realm.


    Only when the Daoist Immortal Sect of the Central Divine Continent was in a life-threatening situation would he be informed.


    And after reaching an agreement with Lin Yuan, the Daoist Immortal Sect basically had no worries of annihtion, so Cangqing Immortal did not continue to pay attention.


    ording to the instructions left by Cangqing Immortal, the next time he was contacted would be when Jun Wuji ascended to the spirit world.


    "It''s True me Ancestor."


    Mu Qingliu''s heart trembled again.


    Among the many immortal ancestors of the Daoist Immortal Sect, True me Ancestor''s temperament was the most fiery. Throughout the generations, the sect masters were all very afraid of dealing with this ancestor.


    After all, one careless move could incur True me Ancestor''s punishment.


    Although the punishment was not fundamental, after all, they were all juniors of the sect, but they would definitely have to endure some hardship.


    "Ancestor, it''s about Jun Wuji."


    Mu Qingliu said immediately.


    "Jun Wuji?"


    True me Ancestor frowned, "The one Cangqing praises? "


    Although True me Ancestor''s strength was not as good as Cangqing''s, it was very close. Two hundred years ago, when Cangqing Immortal called them together to discuss Jun Wuji and mentioned the oath he had taken, True me Ancestor was somewhat disapproving.


    He didn''t think that a mere mortal from the lower realm like the Central Divine Continent could produce a top-tier genius with the potential to ascend to Immortal King.


    That''s Immortal King.


    True me Ancestor didn''t doubt Cangqing Immortal''s judgment.


    He just felt that perhaps Cangqing Immortal had overlooked something.


    That Jun Wuji wasn''t the kind of genius he imagined, where ascending to the spirit world and entering the Dao Fusion Realm was as simple as eating and drinking.


    And having the potential to touch the realm of Immortal King.


    Immortal King aside, even in the spirit world, they were supreme figures. Let''s talk about the Dao Fusion Realm. This realm, also known as the realm of immortals, was so easy to step into?


    True me Ancestor was skeptical.


    "Hmm?"


    Just as True me Ancestor was about to speak, asking what had happened with Jun Wuji.


    He also felt the distant breath from the end of the Eastern Sea.


    "Is this the fusion of heaven and earth? Has someone stepped into the Dao Fusion Realm?"


    True me Ancestor widened his eyes.


    An immortal in the Dao Fusion Realm was considered a powerful figure, belonging to the ruling ss even in the spirit world.


    True me Ancestor felt the aura of many cultivators in the Void Refinement Stage stepping into the Dao Fusion Realm.


    So he was very familiar with this kind of aura.


    If it were in the spirit world, True me Ancestor wouldn''t find it strange at all.


    The spirit world was vast, with a higher limit, so it was normal for a Dao Fusion Realm immortal to be born.


    But where was this? It was the lower realm.


    It was the Central Divine Continent.


    Tens of thousands of years ago, these powerful beings who transcended the limit of VoidRefinement had already confirmed with great certainty that the Dao Fusion Realm couldn''t be born in this realm. At most, they could only infinitely approach it.


    "Is it Jun Wuji?"


    True me Ancestor turned his head to stare at Mu Qingliu.


    "It should be." Mu Qingliu nodded.


    This distant breath had the shadow of Jun Wuji''s breath from back then.


    And within this realm, who else could emit such a breath besides Jun Wuji?


    "Monster."


    True me Ancestor swallowed his saliva.


    Has he stepped into the Dao Fusion Realm?


    When he ascended to the spirit world back then, he also spent countless efforts to reach the Dao Fusion Realm. And now, a junior of theter generations had achieved it so easily?


    And it was in the Central Divine Continent, a lower realm where theoretically the Dao Fusion Realm couldn''t be born?


    "Such talent. Could that old guy, Cangqing, have underestimated him?"


    True me Ancestor''s thoughts surged.


    Below the spirit world were millions of lower realms, such as the Central Divine Continent.


    But since ancient times, there had never been a Dao Fusion Realm ascender in any lower realm.


    This is too incredible.


    "Ancestor, what should we do now?"


    Mu Qingliu asked quietly.


    "What should we do?"


    True me Ancestor nced at Mu Qingliu. "What else can we do?"


    If it were before Lin Yuan broke through to the Dao Fusion Realm, True me Ancestor would still have confidence in confronting him with this projection.


    But now?


    The opponent''s strength was almost catching up to his own in the spirit world. What''s the point of confronting him?


    Isn''t that just asking for humiliation?


    "However, breaking through to the Dao Fusion Realm gives the ability to survive in the chaotic void currents. The Central Divine Continent is a lower realm of the spirit world.


    As long as this realm is broken, with the strength of the Dao Fusion Realm, it is entirely possible to follow the chaotic void currents and enter the spirit world."


    True me Ancestor thought silently.


    Void Refinement Stage Cultivators didn''t have the ability to survive in the chaotic void currents, so to enter the spirit world, they could only use the "Ascension tform" to ascend through stable spatial channels.


    But this wasn''t necessary for Dao Fusion Realm immortals.


    With the strength of a Dao Fusion Realm immortal, one could easily go to the spirit world voluntarily.


    The spirit world was located above the Central Divine Continent, and a Dao Fusion Realm immortal could easily sense the aura of the spirit world.


    "This is the seventh rank."


    At the end of the Eastern Sea, on the calm sea surface, Lin Yuan''s face showed a smile.


    At this moment, he was concealing his aura, but he could easily tear open spatial rifts.


    "The suppression of heaven and earth is just like that."


    Lin Yuan felt delighted.


    In this world, the suppression prevented those in the VoidRefinementStage from breaking through to the Dao Fusion Realm.


    That is, from the sixth rank to the seventh rank.


    Even the strongest individual could only infinitely approach the Dao Fusion Realm.


    But with Lin Yuan''s Unrivaled Insight, he quickly thought of a way to step into the Dao Fusion Realm.


    That was to separate his true body from his Yin and Yang spirits.


    The true body, Yin spirit, and Yang spirit all cultivated to approach the Dao Fusion Realm.


    Then the three would merge again, and theirbined strength would multiply.


    Quantity leads to qualitative changes, and finally, forcibly break into the seventh rank.


    "Such a wonderful feeling."


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes and immersed himself in it.


    After stepping into the seventh rank, Lin Yuan''s realm elevated, and everything he saw and felt far surpassed when he was in the sixth rank.


    The same leaf, when viewed at the sixth rank and the seventh rank, broughtpletely different feelings, not to mention the myriad things of heaven and earth?


    Unrivaled Insight was the same, depending on the height Lin Yuan stood.


    If Lin Yuan were just an ordinary person, he would at mostprehend first or second tier martial arts.


    But Lin Yuan was now at the seventh rank, equivalent to an immortal in the spirit world, and the essence of everything in the world was slowly unfolding before him.


    After continuing to immerse himself for a moment.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes.


    "This time, I choose to break through to the seventh rank in the direction of the Dao."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The Daoist Immortal Scripture had been of great help to him, providing four other directions for the seventh rank, all influenced by the Daoist cultivation system.


    "Sure enough, this is not the seventh rank I want."


    After stepping into the seventh rank, Lin Yuan slightly shook his head at the current details he perceived.


    If it were other powerful individuals opening up paths, they would only be able to continue practicing forward even if they were dissatisfied. Even if they weren''t satisfied, so what? After truly entering this realm, both the physical body and soul would transform towards this direction, with no turning back.


    But Lin Yuan had a way to return to the main world, abandoning everything in this world, and returning to his true self.


    Only taking memories and realm back.


    In the past, this method was inferior to superiority.


    After all, after struggling to cultivate for decades or even hundreds of years in the transmigrated world, not bringing back any strength at all?


    But now, Lin Yuan''s exploration of the seventh rank was his greatest confidence.


    As long as the path was right, what did strength matter? The main world was notcking in treasures for umting strength.


    No matter how much strength one had, one had to be able to control it.


    "I won''t continue practicing theter stages of the seventh rank for now, and I''ll focus onprehending other directions from the sixth to the seventh rank."


    Lin Yuan stoppedprehending. The direction he was currently heading in was not the direction he was satisfied with. Continuing to cultivate and explore would be meaningless.


    "But."


    Lin Yuan seemed to think of something, raised his right hand, and gently shed the air in front of him.


    Crack.


    A rift appeared.


    Revealing the hazy chaotic void inside.


    "Breaking through the void?"


    A hint of surprise appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    "With my current strength, I can indeed survive in the chaotic void currents." Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, then reached into the rift he had torn open.


    After a while, he withdrew his hand and found that there were no injuries on his arm.


    "The aura of the spirit world."


    Lin Yuan continued to sense the rift he had torn open in the air.


    He found that at an infinite height, a huge world, resembling a great sun, was emitting boundless aura.


    Lin Yuan had seen the Ascension tform passing through the spirit world, confirming that this aura was consistent with that on the Ascension tform.


    "There are still forty years left."


    Lin Yuan nced at the illusory characters below.


    White Jade Ind.


    Two hundred years had passed.


    Most of the White Jade Pavilion had already moved to the Central Divine Continent. After all, the cultivation environment there was more superior, with seventy-two caves and one hundred and eight blessednds and other cultivation sanctuaries all in the Central Continent.


    Now, there were not many disciples left on White Jade Ind.


    In the core area of White Jade Ind, Lin Yuan''s figure appeared.


    "Wuji?"


    "Why have youe back?"


    Mu Lian''er was sitting there chatting with Jun Dongjin when she suddenly saw Lin Yuan and stood up immediately.


    "Wuji."


    Jun Dongjin also stood up, looking at Lin Yuan with some emotion.


    He never imagined that his youngest son would achieve such great sess, actually making the ancestor of the Ethical Immortal Sect concede.


    "I just came back to take a look."


    Lin Yuan nodded. This should be hisst time back on White Jade Ind. With only forty years left of his stay, Lin Yuan''s n was to continue traveling the world for the first ten years, and then try to leave this realm and venture into the chaotic void currents outside the world forprehension.


    In the Divine Weapon World, Lin Yuan faced spatial rifts, and even with his Unrivaled Insight, hisprehension wasn''t very good.


    But now that he had reached the seventh rank, when he looked at the chaotic void currents within the spatial rift again, many insights surged out.


    This was the difference brought about by different strengths and perspectives.


    Next.


    Lin Yuan chatted with his parents for a while.


    "Wuji."


    Mu Lian''er seemed somewhat mncholic. She vaguely felt that she might not see Wuji very often in the future.


    "These are two sets of cultivation resources to break through to the VoidRefinementStage."


    With a slight movement of his mind, two storage rings appeared in front of Lin Yuan.


    Over the years, Lin Yuan had traveled the world, from the highest heavens to the lowest abyss, and naturally found many good things.


    Those treasures and resources were of no use to Lin Yuan, so they had been kept aside, and now they were just right to give to his parents.


    "With these resources, breaking through to the VoidRefinementStage won''t be a problem."


    "By then, you can enter the spirit world through the Daoist Immortal Sect''s Ascension tform."


    Lin Yuan said.


    His elder brother, Jun Xiaoyao, had already been groomed as the next sect master of the Daoist Immortal Sect, so breaking through to the Void Refinement Stage shouldn''t be a problem.


    And for his second sister, Lin Yuan had also left a set of resources for breaking through to the VoidRefinementStage.


    This was thest thing Lin Yuan could do.


    "Wuji."


    Jun Dongjin hesitated.


    He always felt that his youngest son was preparing for something. But with Wuji''s strength, who could make him prepare for something?


    "Wuji, are you nning to ascend to the spirit world?"


    Jun Dongjin asked tentatively.


    "More or less."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    What he was "ascending" to was not the spirit world, but the vast main world beyond the spirit world.


    Time passed.


    Another ten years passed.


    At the northernmost peak.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    "I''ve walked around a few more times."


    "There''s nothing much to see."


    Lin Yuan raised his right hand and gently brushed it towards the air in front of him.


    A spatial rift several meters long appeared.


    Lin Yuan stared at the spatial rift.


    [Your Unrivaled Insight perceives the chaotic void currents, deepening your understanding of spatial essence.]


    [Your Unrivaled Insight perceives the chaotic void currents, deepening your understanding of spatial essence.]


    [Your Unrivaled Insight perceives the chaotic void currents, beginning to further perfect the martial evolution system.]


    Outside the Central Divine Continent.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared.


    Crackle.


    The terrifying chaotic void currents dissipated as they approached within a few dozen meters of Lin Yuan.


    "So this is space? Violent, sharp? Destruction of everything?"


    Lin Yuan was somewhat shocked.


    In the world, space was stable, orderly, and the cradle of abundant life.


    But outside the world, space was filled with extreme destructive forces.


    This contrast made Lin Yuan''s understanding of spatial power deepen even further.


    And so.


    Lin Yuan drifted alone in the chaotic void currents outside the world.


    Until thirty yearster.


    Hum!!


    In the depths of his mind, the Gate of the Myriad Realms radiated brightly.

 Chapter 174

    Chapter 174


    Red Kun main star.


    Thirteenth mountain peaks, deep within the pce.


    Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes.


    "Finally back."


    Looking at the familiar scene around him, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.


    The five hundred years in the Central Divine world had a significant impact on Lin Yuan, especially thest breakthrough into the seventh rank, even though this seventh rank was not what Lin Yuan wanted.


    But it also allowed Lin Yuan to see scenes that he had never been able to touch before.


    The higher you stand, the farther and wider you see.


    "I hope thisst resort won''t be needed in the future."Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Before leaving, Lin Yuan deliberately returned to the Central Divine world, cing his physical body in a hidden location, and then consciously returned.


    The purpose of this move, is to ensure that one day in the future, if he returns to the Central Divine world, he can directly possess the physical body left behind to grasp the strongest power of one realm at the fastest speed.


    After breaking through to the sixth rank, the Gate of the Myriad Realms had more "functions", including returning to the worlds that had been traversed before.


    But even if he returned, Lin Yuan would choose to descend consciously, as for physical body traversing, it was both dangerous and consumed more "boundary breaking source power".


    Descending consciousness meant starting cultivation from scratch, even if he had a high realm, it would still take time step by step.


    But with his own physical body left behind, everything became simple.


    Just need to detach consciousness and possess the body, to restore to the strongest strength in the Central Divine world.


    Of course.


    Although leaving behind thisst resort.


    Lin Yuan did not want thisst resort to be used passively.


    Because it meant the Central Divine world had undergone some unexpected changes, resulting in the danger of the martial arts cultivation system being overturned.


    Returning to the Central Divine world again requires consuming ten strands of "boundary breaking source power".


    Unless absolutely necessary, Lin Yuan would not choose to do so.


    "Spirit World."


    Lin Yuan''s expression sank into brief contemtion.


    In thest thirty years of his stay.


    Lin Yuan wandered alone in the chaotic flow of space outside the world, and had also looked at the huge Spirit World located high above from afar.


    That was a behemoth far beyond the Central Divine world, the many auras it emitted, like radiation, locking down millions of lower realms including the Central Divine world.


    "Unfortunately, flying directly to the Spirit World is still somewhat risky, there is no need to do so."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The level of the Spirit World was very high, there was no doubt about it, there were Immortal King-level powerhousesparable to the Main World, and even existences surpassing the Immortal King level.


    If Lin Yuan entered the Spirit World, it would definitely attract many attentions.


    In such a situation. Even if Lin Yuan only descended with consciousness, fearless of death, it would still not guaranteeplete safety.


    In front of those true powerhouses, even if Lin Yuan wanted to die, he might not necessarily die, he might be "soul-searched" and expose information about the Main World.


    In addition.


    Lin Yuan did not enter the Spirit World through the Ascension tform, for almost the same reason.


    Although Cangqing Immortal, the Upper Realm Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect, had sworn in front of him.


    But if he really ascended to the Spirit World, and fell into the hands of those Immortals.


    idents were unavoidable.


    Lin Yuan never let himself fall into passivity.


    Moreover.


    Having mastered the coordinates of the Spirit World, Lin Yuan could enter the Spirit World stealthily, there was no need to take risks.


    At least.


    As long as he did not enter the Spirit World through the Ascension tform.


    Then it was impossible for the martial arts cultivation system of the Central Divine world to be suppressed.


    At least the Upper Realm Sect Master of the Immortal Sect would be wary, whether Lin Yuan might suddenly appear.


    "I won''t think about this."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts converged, no longer paying attention to matters in the Central Divine world.


    Since he had already left, it was meaningless to think about it anymore.


    "The gains of this journey through the void."


    Lin Yuan was in a good mood, the five hundred years in the Central Divine world, Lin Yuan not only reached the extreme of the sixth rank, but even explored a seventh-rank path.


    It should be noted. The nine disciples of the Red Kun Lineage, Fourth Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother, Sixth Senior Brother, and Twelfth Senior Brother.


    These nine disciples of the Red Kun Star Lord were all true geniuses of evolution, yet they were still trapped at the sixth rank.


    Was it because the senior brothers were not good enough? Not at all, it was because the difficulty of crossing from the sixth rank to the seventh rank was too great.


    That was the transformation of the essence of life, surpassing even the fifth to sixth ranks.


    Lin Yuan had a deep understanding of this, after forcibly entering the seventh rank, he also felt the gap in realm.


    "Space."


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    In thest few decades of his fifth transmigration, Lin Yuan''s perception of space soared like a rocket.


    In the chaotic flow of space, the other side of space that Lin Yuan observed was filled with another aspect of destruction,pared with the calm, stable, and orderly space of the Main World, under the insight of Unrivaled Insight, Lin Yuan even directly reached the essence of space.


    It could be said that the gains Lin Yuan obtained in terms of spatial rules during this transmigration were greater than entering the seventh rank.


    "I can feel that the seventh rank of martial arts I want is rted to spatial rules, but I still haven''t opened up a satisfactory seventh rank chapter, because my understanding of spatial rules is still not enough."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The rules of space are vast, they are the fundamental rules that support the world, and the more Lin Yuanprehends, the more he feels how small he is within the rules of space.


    If before, Lin Yuan was in a well, with only the starry sky the size of the well''s opening as the rules of space.


    Then now, Lin Yuan has climbed out of the well and seen an even more vast and boundless starry sky.


    "Take it slow."


    "I''m not in a hurry."


    Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and thought.


    "Although I haven''tprehended a perfect seventh-rank chapter of martial arts, the sixth-rank chapter is almost ready. I''ll tidy it up and upload it to the Goddess of Wisdom."


    Lin Yuan rubbed his temples. The sixth-rank chapter of martial arts incorporated a deep exploration of the physical body by the Body Refining lineage.


    Theoretically, Evolvers who have reached the sixth rank of cultivation have the possibility of developing bodily divine abilities.


    Of course, which specific bodily divine ability it is depends entirely on the fragments of divine abilities in their bloodline.


    But no matter what, even if it''s just an auxiliary bodily divine ability, it''s still very useful for Evolvers.


    Unlike arcane techniques, using divine abilities doesn''t require any restrictive conditions, they can be activated with just a thought.


    "Blood Rebirth."


    The aura within Lin Yuan''s body began to fluctuate, strands of qi and blood intertwined and collided, faintly forming a mysterious pattern.


    This was the "Blood Rebirth Divine Ability" that Lin Yuan had painstakinglyprehended in the Central Divine world, and then deduced from the main world''s physical body.


    This technique is only suitable for Lin Yuan; even if others were to obtain it, they wouldn''t be able to form the technique''s imprint.


    "Strictly speaking, can my current physical body also condense a new bodily divine ability?"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    After all, his current physical body and soul had just reached the sixth rank, and if hepleted the development of the sixth-rank chapter, a new bodily divine ability would naturally be born.


    "I''ll try itter."


    "First, I''ll tidy up the sixth-rank chapter and upload it."


    Lin Yuan wasn''t in a hurry.


    A day or twoter.


    Lin Yuan had roughly organized the sixth-rank chapter of martial arts, making it more suitable for the human race of the main world.


    Then, he connected to the "Goddess of Wisdom".


    "Respected citizen Lin Yuan, the Goddess of Wisdom is pleased to serve you."


    The solemn and cool voice of the Goddess of Wisdom came through.


    "I want to upload the sixth-rank chapter of the martial arts evolution path."


    Lin Yuan said, then began to upload the contents of the sixth-rank chapter.


    "Citizen Lin Yuan, please wait a moment, the Goddess of Wisdom is currently making a thorough assessment."


    After receiving the sixth-rank chapter of martial arts, the Goddess of Wisdom immediately began her assessment.


    "In fact, the cultivation system of Immortality hasn''t appeared in the main world." Lin Yuan seemed to have thought of something.


    He couldpletely upload the cultivation system of Immortality to the Goddess of Wisdom and receive rewards for it.


    But after pondering for a while, Lin Yuan gave up on this idea.


    The cultivation system of Immortality must have been established by some existence, if he were to spread it in the main world, wouldn''t he be helping the one who established the cultivation system of Immortality?


    Transmitting one''s own evolution path or cultivation system was rted to the "Ultimate Leap," and in this regard, Lin Yuan naturally didn''t want to work for free.


    Moreover.


    Although the cultivation system of Immortality had a high upper limit, reaching the seventh, eighth, or even ninth rank.


    But its restrictions were very great, such as requiring spiritual energy, or perhaps spiritual roots?


    Although the universe of the main world was filled with various energies, there wasn''t much cosmic energy simr to spiritual energy.


    The most crucial point was spiritual roots, at least as far as Lin Yuan knew, there was no concept of spiritual roots among the human race of the main world.


    If Lin Yuan were to upload the cultivation system of Immortality, the first thing he would have to do is to adapt the cultivation system of Immortality to the extent suitable for the human race of the main world.


    In other words, he would have to deduce an alternative to spiritual roots.


    The cost of this was too great, and with the time and energy spent on this, Lin Yuan would be much better off continuing toprehend the martial arts evolution system, taking it to a higher level, which was far more worthwhile than the former.


    While waiting for the final judgment of the Goddess of Wisdom, Lin Yuan began to look at other information.


    Five hundred years in the Central Divine world, only less than four months had passed in the main world.


    Lin Yuan opened the information records and roughly browsed through them.


    "Son of Wan Yang."


    Lin Yuan saw the message from the Son of Wan Yang sent to him about a month ago.


    The general meaning was that he had already broken through to the sixth rank.


    He hoped to spar with Lin Yuan again.


    The Son of Wan Yang possessed the rare ''Nine Yang Divine Veins'', and after sleeping in the depths of the stars for hundreds of years, his profound foundation was finally able to be fully utilized upon reaching the sixth rank.


    At the peak of the fifth rank, Lin Yuan had once fought against the Son of Wan Yang, and in the end, crushed him.


    This matter was still remembered by the Son of Wan Yang to this day; he was aware that Lin Yuan''s evolution path was special, and theplete fusion of soul and body had greatly enhanced hisbat power.


    But at the sixth rank, thepetition was not just about the evolution path anymore, it also involved one''s own physical foundation.


    After breaking through to the sixth rank, the Son of Wan Yang felt the qualitative change in his own strength, once again gaining confidence, wanting to find Lin Yuan for a spar to redeem himself.


    Mayb he couldn''t defeat Lin Yuan yet, but at least he shouldn''t be crushed by Lin Yuan like before, letting Lin Yuan p him until he admitted defeat.


    "Spar with me."


    Lin Yuan fell silent for a moment.


    In the eyes of the Son of Wan Yang, Lin Yuan was also just entering the sixth rank, which was why he had the confidence to challenge him.


    But in reality.


    At this moment, Lin Yuan was already at the pinnacle of the sixth rank, and had even embarked on a certain path to the seventh rank.


    The gap between him and the Son of Wan Yang was countless times greater than when they were both at the peak of the fifth rank.


    At the peak of the fifth rank, the Son of Wan Yang could still withstand a few ps from Lin Yuan.


    But now.


    "Forget it."


    "There''s no need to waste time."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. With his current strength, sparring with the Son of Wan Yang would be akin to bullying the weak.


    Previously, when he sparred with the Sacred Son of Wan Yang, it was because Lin Yuan could gain insights from the exchange. However, now the disparity between them was too great, rendering anyparison meaningless.


    He replied to the Sacred Son of Wan Yang with a brief "I don''t have time recently" and continued browsing through the remaining messages.


    He came across messages from his senior brothers regarding the ck Prison Family. Due to his instructions to enter seclusion before his transmigration, his senior brothers had left him messages instead.


    The mention of a possible connection between the ck Prison Family and an alien race piqued Lin Yuan''s interest.


    Before revealing his identity as the Thirteenth Peak Master, Lin Yuan had some conflicts with the ck Prison Family''s ck Prison Ao.


    Later, after he publicly announced his identity upon reaching the sixth rank, the ck Prison Family became fearful, with ck Prison Mo personally visiting the Red Kun Main Star to seek forgiveness.


    However, Lin Yuan was preupied with imprinting his Life Mark into the cosmic starry sky at the time and did not pay attention to them.


    Afterwards, when his senior brothers inquired about his opinion, Lin Yuan expressed his reluctance to reconcile with the ck Prison Family.


    With Lin Yuan''s disapproval, his senior brothers decided to use various means to suppress the ck Prison Family, intending to make thempletely decline.


    This was the consequence of offending a Peak Master of the Red Kun lineage.


    Despite the power of the five major forces in the Red Kun Star Region, they ultimately answered to the Red Kun lineage. While others might be manageable, those who dared to rebel against a Peak Master had no ce in existence.


    Originally, following his second senior brother''s n, they intended to scrutinize the ck Prison Family thoroughly. After all, a force like the ck Prison Family, which had been operating for hundreds of thousands of years, could not withstand such scrutiny. Any excuse would do.


    To appease Lin Yuan, his second senior brother personally handled the investigation of the ck Prison Family.


    However, during the investigation, his second senior brother discovered something rming: the ck Prison Family seemed to have a connection with an alien race.


    There was no concrete evidence of the ck Prison Family''s connection with the alien race. Yet, some things did not require evidence.


    Upon discovering this, his second senior brother immediately decided to detain ck Prison Mo. Regardless, they first needed to take ck Prison Mo, the highest authority in the ck Prison Family, into custody.


    To ensure prudence, his second senior brother secretly contacted the Red Kun Star Lord. Under the watchful gaze of the Red Kun Star Lord, ck Prison Mo had no room to resist.


    After being taken into custody, ck Prison Mo was subjected to a thorough soul search by a specialized eighth-rank Evolver of the Human Alliance.


    Strong individuals like ck Prison Mo had long been capable of controlling their own memories, rendering conventional soul searching ineffective.


    However, a specialized eighth-rank Evolver with expertise in soul maniption could construct a vast illusory world, where ck Prison Mo''s memories would unfold from his childhood onwards.


    As Lin Yuan contemted these events, a solemn and cold voice resonated.


    "Respected Sixth-Rank Citizen Lin Yuan, the Sixth-Rank chapter you uploaded has been fully assessed," announced the voice of the Wisdom Goddess.

 Chapter 175

    Chapter 175


    "Is the judgmentplete?"


    A smile spread across Lin Yuan''s face.


    Every time he returned, he immediately uploaded the subsequent stages of the newly opened martial path evolution to the Wisdom Goddess.


    In addition to receiving arge number of merit point rewards and better dissemination of martial path evolution.


    It was also to take advantage of the Wisdom Goddess''s immenseputing power to see the potential of the uploaded stages.


    The potential of a martial path evolution involves various aspects, making it extremely difficult to estimate. The Wisdom Goddess and the other two goddesses could only deduce roughly.


    But that was enough.


    The martial paths recorded by the Cosmic Human Alliance were as numerous as the clouds, and the final judgment of the Wisdom Goddess and the other two goddesses was still highly influential.


    Simply put.If the Wisdom Goddess judges that the potential of a martial path evolution is low, it may not necessarily be correct.


    But if the Wisdom Goddess judges that the potential of a martial path evolution is high, it''s definitely not far from the truth.


    "Respected Level Six Citizen Lin Yuan, ording to the final judgment, the martial path evolution you uploaded, the Sixth Rank, is worth four hundred thousand merit points."


    "Four hundred thousand merit points?"


    Lin Yuan was quite satisfied.


    Last time, when he ''updated'' the martial path evolution, refining and re-uploading the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Ranks, he only received 500k merit points in rewards.


    This time, merely uploading the Sixth Rank was worth four hundred thousand merit points, which was already quite high.


    You should know that four hundred thousand merit points were already equivalent to the value of killing nearly half of an Eighth Rankalien.


    In the alien battlefield, killing an Eighth Rankalien powerhouse usually only yields about a million merit points.


    And are Eighth Rankalien powerhouses easy to kill? It''s possible to defeat one, but killing one is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.


    Eighth Rank alien powerhouses are the foundation of various races, most of them have life-saving cards, and even someone as strong as Red Kun Star Lord would find it difficult to kill an Eighth Rankalien powerhouse when they go to the alien battlefield.


    Eighth Rankalien powerhouses are not fools. If they realize they can''t win, they will definitely run away.


    "To upgrade from Level Six Citizen to Level Seven Citizen requires two million merit points."


    Lin Yuan nced at the merit points required for the promotion of Level Seven citizens, and shook his head.


    Two million merit points were simply exorbitant. Let alone other evolvers, even Lin Yuan felt his scalp tingling.


    Most Level Seven evolvers probably wouldn''t be able to umte such a huge amount of merit points even if they squatted in the alien battlefield for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years.


    The alien battlefield is extremely dangerous, and human evolvers are constantly in mortal danger fighting against alien powerhouses.


    Although it is said that evolvers of the Sixth Rankand above have the qualifications to be resurrected, without potential, who would revive you? Most Level Six and Level Seven evolvers are truly dead when they die.


    "Let it go."


    Lin Yuan didn''t have much thought of promoting to Level Seven Citizen in the short term. It was estimated that he would need to create the Seventh Rankof martial path evolution before he could possibly meet the requirements for promotion to Level Seven Citizen.


    "Let''s take a look at thetest evaluation of the martial path evolution system."


    Lin Yuan began to browse the information on the martial path evolution.


    Every time the Wisdom Goddess re-evaluated the martial path evolution, she would update Lin Yuan''s data on the martial path evolution for the first time.


    As for other citizens or evolvers, they could only see the changes in the martial path evolution after the evolution list was refreshed at midnight.


    "The probability of promotion to the Seventh Rankis sixty percent."


    "The probability of promotion to the Eighth Rankmartial path evolution is twenty percent."


    "Not bad."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    When he hadn''t uploaded the Sixth Rank , the probability of the martial path evolution promoting to the Seventh Rankmartial path evolution was only thirty percent.


    The probability of promotion to the Eighth Rankmartial path evolution was only ten percent.


    Now both have doubled.


    Especially the fact that there is a twenty percent chance of promoting to the Eighth Rank martial path evolution. Whether or not a new Eighth Rank martial path evolution is opened up is the key to whether the Cosmic Human Alliance judges whether one can be an evolutionist. (The ones who create evolutionary paths)


    Now the martial path evolution even has a twenty percent chance of promotion to the Eighth Rankmartial path evolution, its potential is already extremely terrifying.


    "The Ninth Rankmartial path evolution."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts drifted. So far, there hasn''t been any possibility of promoting to the Ninth Rankmartial path evolution in the martial path evolution.


    "Now, how many ranks can the martial path evolution be ranked in the Red Kun Evolution Ranking?"


    Lin Yuan continued to observe the updated martial path evolution and opened the ranking column.


    "Ranked first in the Cann Evolution Ranking."


    "Ranked sixth in the Red Kun Evolution Ranking?"


    "Sixth?"


    Lin Yuan''s heart twitched.


    Last time, after perfecting the martial path evolution to no longer be limited to Yin and Yang, the ranking of the martial path evolution had entered the twelfth ce in the Red Kun Evolution Ranking.


    Now, the uploaded Sixth Rankdirectly entered sixth ce.


    You should know that none of the top ten martial path evolutions in the Red Kun Evolution Ranking are anything other than Seventh Rank martial path evolutions, and they all have the hope of promoting to the Eighth Rankmartial path evolution.


    And the top three evolution paths in the Red Kun Evolution Ranking are all Eighth Rank martial path evolutions.


    In the hundreds of thousands or even millions of years of history of the Red Kun Star Territory, only three evolutionists have been born.


    And these three Eighth Rank evolution paths are all from the hands of three evolutionists.


    The number of evolutionists is much rarer than the number of Eighth Rankevolvers.


    After knowing the ranking of the martial path evolution.


    Lin Yuan nced at the approximate number of martial path evolvers currently.


    "First Rank: Ny-seven thousand three hundred and twenty-three individuals."


    "Second Rank: Thirty-two thousand six hundred individuals."


    "Third Rank: One hundred and thirty-six individuals."


    "Fourth Rank: Zero individuals."


    "Not bad."


    "In just over a year, the number of individuals in the First and Second Ranks has doubled or tripled."


    "Plus, over a hundred individuals have started practicing the Third Rank."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    In the world of the Central Divine Continent, after centuries of development and his personal guidance, there were only this much martial arts practitioners.


    However, in the main world, in just a few years, the number of martial arts evolvers had reached such a scale.


    In terms of growth rate, the main world far surpassed the Central Divine Continent.


    Lin Yuan wasn''t surprised by this. The external conditions for cultivation were definitely superior in the main world.


    After all, various high technologies and the existence of higher-level evolvers made cultivation much simpler.


    Furthermore.


    Lin Yuan''s improvement of the Martial Arts Evolution Path and its rise to twelfth ce on the Red Kun Evolution List were also major factors contributing to the surge in the number of martial arts evolvers.


    "But it''s still too few."


    "I need to speed it up."


    After considering for a while, Lin Yuan decided to record a video specifically exining martial arts cultivation.


    He had wanted to do this for a long time but never found the time.


    Now that his travel was over, he could finally do it.


    As the founder of the Martial Arts Evolution Path, Lin Yuan''s understanding of martial arts was undoubtedly the best in the main world. The instructional videos he recorded would be invaluable to other martial arts evolvers.


    In the virtual world of the Red Kun Star, in the central square area.


    Many evolvers gathered here. In the Human Alliance, most evolvers and high-level citizens were quite leisurely.


    The strength of human civilization and the victories in external wars benefited all humans.


    "The twelfth ce on the Red Kun Evolution List. Just a Fifth Rank Evolution Path and it''s already twelfth. What if it advances to a Sixth Rank Evolution Path?"


    Since the Martial Arts Evolution Path appeared on the Red Kun Evolution List, most of the discussions in the central square area revolved around it.


    There was no way around it.


    Compared to other Evolution Paths that had been stagnant for hundreds of years, the Martial Arts Evolution Path was simply too sensational to ignore.


    "A Sixth Rank Evolution Path? It can''t be that easy, can it? Even for Evolution Professors, wouldn''t it take some time to create a Sixth Rank Path as the current Martial Arts Evolution Path is now?"


    Some evolvers couldn''t help but speak up.


    With the current potential of the Martial Arts Evolution Path, the difficulty of creating a Sixth Rank Path was exceptionally challenging.


    The higher one progressed, the greater the difficulty.


    For Evolution Professors, creating a Sixth Rank Path for a regr Fifth Rank Evolution Path wasn''t difficult.


    But was the current Martial Arts Evolution Path considered a regr Fifth Rank Evolution Path?


    To create a Sixth Rank Path of the Martial Arts Evolution Path withoutpromising its quality was probably much more difficult than creating a Seventh Rank Path for other Evolution Paths.


    "But it''s not necessarily impossible."


    Another evolver chimed in.


    Having witnessed the Martial Arts Evolution Path''s continuous rise in rank, many evolvers were already somewhat immune to surprises.


    But there were still some neers who were extremely shocked. This was the top ten rankings change on the Red Kun Evolution List.


    "Sixth ce?"


    "It directly soared to the top six!"


    "The Sixth Rank has been uploaded!"


    "Let me see what major changes the Sixth Rank Path uploaded by the Great Schr Yuan has brought."


    Some evolvers didn''t hesitate to purchase the content of the Sixth Rank Path of the Martial Arts Evolution Path.


    Before Lin Yuan uploaded the Sixth RankPath, its price was fifty billion.


    However, in the eyes of many powerful evolvers, fivebillion was nothingpared to the immense potential of the Martial Arts Evolution Path.


    It waspletely worth it to buy the Sixth Rank Path for five billion. Perhaps through this Sixth Rank Path, they could be inspired to further advance their own Evolution Paths. This was something that couldn''t be bought with any amount of civilization coins.


    "The Sixth RankPath not only greatly enhances physical and spiritual transformation but also delves deeper into the physical body, with the potential to produce physical body divine abilities?"


    "Physical body divine abilities? Could we humans also possess such innate talents as those of the other races?"


    "I see, deep within the human bloodline lies many pieces of information and abilities."


    "These pieces of information and abilities are extremely rare. Logically speaking, they should never manifest."


    "But the Sixth RankPath of martial arts is somehow able to amplify the information and abilities deep within the bloodline."


    "It''s incredible."


    "I remember there were several Evolution Professors who specialized in researching the inherited powers deep within the human body."


    "At that time, the conclusion we reached was that it might be possible to stimte it through blood concentration potions. However, blood concentration potions carry great risks and are highly valuable, so they cannot be widely distributed."


    "But with the Sixth RankPath of martial arts..."


    Many evolvers discussed eagerly.


    Clearly, they were very interested in physical body divine abilities.


    These were powers originating from deep within the physical body''s bloodline.


    Each person''s physical body divine abilities were different and had a great deal of randomness.


    "I''ve decided. I''m going to switch to the martial arts cultivation system, not for anything else, but for this physical body divine ability."


    A Fifth Rankevolver stood up and spoke seriously.


    As long as they hadn''t reached the Sixth Rank, they could pay a certain price to switch to other Evolution Paths.


    Of course.


    The price here was significant, even with the wealth umted by Fourth or Fifth Rank evolvers over hundreds or thousands of years.


    But still, many evolvers decided to switch to the Martial Arts Evolution Path.


    After all, given the potential demonstrated by the current Martial Arts Evolution Path, joining in wouldn''t be a mistake.


    Lin Yuan had not been out for long.


    After a brief adjustment period, he applied for the Red Spirit Liquid to restore his strength.


    Although Lin Yuan still had doubts about the Seventh Rank, it was still possible to restore his strength to the limit of the Sixth Rankfirst and see what kind of physical body divine ability would be born.


    "Thirteenth Peak Master."


    "The Red Spirit Liquid will be delivered to you in an hour."


    "My good disciple, you''ve been in seclusion for four months. You should have stabilized at the Sixth Rankby now. Come over now, and if you have any questions about your cultivation during this period, I can still answer them."


    Just then, the Red Kun Star Lord sent a message to Lin Yuan.


    During Lin Yuan''s transmigration, he had been staying deep in the Thirteenth Mountain Peak Pce, publicly announcing his seclusion. This was no secret, so the Red Kun Star Lord naturally knew.


    Now that Lin Yuan hade out of seclusion and even chatted with some senior brothers, the Red Kun Star Lord also knew.


    "Yes."


    Lin Yuan responded immediately.


    He still had great respect for the Red Kun Star Lord.


    Not only because of thetter''s strength but also because the Star Lord had been really good to Lin Yuan.


    Soon.


    Lin Yuan arrived at the crimson pce where the Red Kun Star Lord resided.


    The Red Kun Star Lord sat high on the main seat, looking at Lin Yuan with admiration.


    Lin Yuan, upon arriving, bowed slightly to the Red Kun Star Lord.


    "Get up, get up."


    The Red Kun Star Lord hurriedly said.


    "Have you encountered any cultivation problems?"


    The Red Kun Star Lord eagerly asked.


    "Cultivation problems." Lin Yuan''s heart stirred.


    He had indeed encountered some bottlenecks inprehending the rules of space.


    And in this regard, he could consult the Red Kun Star Lord.


    The Red Kun Star Lord''s original body was a Star-Sea Kun.


    The Star-Sea Kuns could devour everything and were the darlings of the space rules in the universe.


    Each Star-Sea Kun could reach a high level ofprehension of space rules, which was their innate talent.


    The Red Kun Star Lord must have a high level of attainment in space rules.


    "Master."


    "I do have some cultivation problems."


    Lin Yuan immediately said.


    "Good."


    "Tell me quickly."


    The Red Kun Star Lord, upon hearing this, was actually quite delighted.


    Lin Yuan had such good aptitude that from the time he became his disciple until now, the Red Kun Star Lord had never properly guided him.


    Now the opportunity had finallye.


    "It''s like this."


    Lin Yuan thought for a moment. "I''ve beenprehending nine hundred and sixty-five models of space rules recently."


    Lin Yuan raised his right hand, and with a slight movement of his mind, strands of spatial power gathered at his fingertips like little kittens, forming various model patterns.


    There were cube shapes, two-dimensional spatial shapes, eerie ck hole shapes, and infinitely thin paper shapes.


    Strands of spatial power continuously intertwined in front of Lin Yuan, and when they formed the eight hundred and seventy-sixth model, they paused.


    "Master, I''m a little confused about the eight hundred and seventy-sixth model of space rules."


    Lin Yuan looked towards the Red Kun Star Lord on the high seat and said.

 Chapter 176

    Chapter 176


    The gaze of Red Kun Star Lord swept over the ''model''posed of numerous spatial forces in Lin Yuan''s hands.


    The rules of space are vast and endless, without specific shapes. It is extremely difficult for ordinary evolvers toprehend space.


    Space is unlike fire, which emits heat and can be felt, nor is it like the earth, which can be touched.


    Therefore...


    During the 600,000 years of the Star Sea Era, a powerful evolver in the Human Civilization Alliance, proficient in the way of space, based on his own understanding, reced the superficial essence of space rules with 965 models.


    These 965 models cannot fully express the true rules of space, but they can provide guidance for other evolvers.


    They have a simr effect to ''forms''.


    Normally,prehending these 965 space models is basically equivalent to an entry-level understanding of space rules.


    And to achieve this, one generally needs to reach the seventh rank.After all, only seventh-rank evolvers can begin toprehend space rules. Even so, fullyprehending the 965 space models usually requires a seventh-rank marquis or even a king.


    But Lin Yuan?


    Red Kun Star Lord couldn''t understand.


    In his long life, he had seen many geniuses, but most of these geniuses had powerful bloodlines or physical bodies, and so on.


    Someone like Lin Yuan, who had just entered the sixth rank less than half a year ago, had achieved something that even seventh-rank marquises or kings couldn''t do. It was truly inconceivable.


    "Could it be that my disciple''s talent in space is also very strong?" Red Kun Star Lord''s thoughts wandered.


    In nearly five to six thousand years, the strongest spatial talent Red Kun Star Lord had seen among his juniors was Silver Spirit, the silver-haired woman from the previous Seven-Star Cave test.


    Red Kun Star Lord even gave her the identity of Crimson Mark and opened the world of the Seven-Star Cave test for her.


    However,pared to Lin Yuan, Silver Spirit''s spatial talent was simply like dog shit.


    "Teacher?"


    Lin Yuan saw Red Kun Star Lord staring at the space models in front of him and spoke softly.


    "Oh, I just remembered something else." Red Kun Star Lord immediately reacted, his expression serious.


    With Red Kun Star Lord''s strength, he had naturallyprehended the more than 900 space models that exined the superficial essence of space long ago.


    But when Red Kun Star Lordprehended these more than 900 models, he was also about to enter the seventh rank. This was still based on his own body being a Star Sea Kun, naturally harmonizing with the rules of space.


    If it weren''t for being sure that Lin Yuan was indeed human, Red Kun Star Lord would have thought that the other party was more like a Star Sea Kun than himself.


    "The 876th space model."


    Red Kun Star Lord also raised his hand, manipting the spatial force to form a peculiar-shaped model in front of him.


    The model was not fixed but changed slowly with the fluctuations of space.


    "The 876th space model."


    Lin Yuan immediately observed carefully. In the training treasury of the Red Kun lineage, there were detailed exnations of the 965 space models.


    There were even specialized spatial evolvers who actively unfolded models.


    However, since space is constantly changing and fluctuating, the previous space models may not necessarily apply to the current spatial fluctuations.


    Therefore, the space model condensed by Red Kun Star Lord at this moment was the model most suitable for the current cosmic spatial rules, and naturally provided greater inspiration to Lin Yuan.


    [Your Unrivaled Insight allows you to continuously deepen your understanding of space rules by observing unknown space models.]


    [Your Unrivaled Insight allows you to continuously deepen your understanding of space rules by observing unknown space models.]


    [Your Unrivaled Insight allows you to continuously deepen your understanding of space rules by observing unknown space models.]


    Arge number of insights surged in Lin Yuan''s mind, bursting out countless insights about spatial forces. The umtion of decades of observing the chaotic currents outside the Central Divine World, all erupted at once.


    Buzz.


    In front of Lin Yuan.


    Hundreds of space models copsed at the same time.


    Strands of spatial force quickly intertwined and collided.


    They actually formed a new space model.


    "This is it."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    This kind of space model had puzzled Lin Yuan for nearly a month.


    Now, with the guidance of Red Kun Star Lord, he finallyprehended it.


    "You''ve understood it?" On the high seat, Red Kun Star Lord was dumbfounded.


    He had just demonstrated it once, and Lin Yuan had learned it?


    Red Kun Star Lord had just prepared to exin a few things, such as reminding Lin Yuan where to startprehending this kind of model.


    But the result.


    It was like a teacher exining a problem in ss.


    As soon as he wrote down the answer and was about to exin the process and train of thought, all the students below had already learned it, and some even understood it thoroughly.


    "Thank you, teacher."


    Lin Yuan was in a good mood and immediately thanked Red Kun Star Lord.


    If it weren''t for Red Kun Star Lord, with his Unrivaled Insight, Lin Yuan would eventuallyprehend it, but it would definitely waste a lot of time.


    "No need to thank me."


    Red Kun Star Lord waved his hand.


    In theory, the gratitude of a genius like Lin Yuan should give him a sense of aplishment.


    But Red Kun Star Lord felt something was off.


    He couldn''t shake the feeling that something was wrong.


    "Teacher, could you demonstrate the remaining one hundred space models again?" Lin Yuan seemed to remember something and asked somewhat embarrassedly.


    "Demonstrate them all together?" Red Kun Star Lord remained silent for a moment, unable to help but ask.


    Nine hundred and sixty-five space models involved the essence of space rules. Each model required evolvers to expend a great deal of effort and energy toprehend.


    Now Lin Yuan was asking him to demonstrate all the remaining models at once.


    It was equivalent to¡ª


    A primary school student asking his teacher to present the sybi for junior high school, high school, and university.


    "No problem." Red Kun Star Lord nodded.


    If it were any of his other disciples, Red Kun Star Lord would have definitely reprimanded them for being too ambitious and advised them to focus on the present.


    But Lin Yuan... Considering how quickly Lin Yuanprehended the space model just now, Red Kun Star Lord felt it was best toply.


    Buzz.


    Various space models continuously condensed in front of Red Kun Star Lord.


    Lin Yuan carefully observed each space model. Although he couldn''tprehend them in a short time, having Red Kun Star Lord demonstrate them would undoubtedly elerate his futureprehension.


    Half a dayter.


    A satisfied expression appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    Meanwhile, Red Kun Star Lord stopped demonstrating the space models, his thoughtsplex.


    "Thank you, teacher. I now have a foundation forprehending the subsequent space models." Lin Yuan earnestly expressed his gratitude.


    "You''re wee," Red Kun Star Lord nodded.


    In reality, during this half day, he hadn''t said a word, yet he had demonstrated numerous space models. He felt like nothing more than a tool.


    Seeing Lin Yuan''s satisfied expression, Red Kun Star Lord couldn''t help but feel a sense of unreality.


    Was teaching disciples really this easy?


    He was skilled in teaching disciples and knew that teaching them well required a tremendous amount of effort.


    "Teacher, what about the following seven thousand seven hundred and eighty-two space models?" Lin Yuan thought for a moment, intending to make the most of this opportunity for guidance. (Poor teacher)


    The 965 space models Lin Yuan was currentlyprehending analyzed the superficial essence of space rules. Fullyprehending these 965 space models would bring him to an introductory level of understanding of space rules.


    However, after this introduction, he still needed toprehend more of the fundamental rules of space.


    So after the 965 space models, there were still seven thousand seven hundred and eighty-two more space models.


    "The subsequent space models are difficult for outsiders to guide and require one to rely on oneself forprehension," Red Kun Star Lord said calmly, though he felt extremely helpless inside.


    Even he hadn''t fullyprehended all seven thousand seven hundred and eighty-two space models, and Red Kun Star Lord had a sense of being depleted by Lin Yuan.


    Furthermore.


    Even if he didprehend all seven thousand seven hundred and eighty-two space models, he wouldn''t be able to demonstrate them.


    Space rules, especially their fundamental essence, could be demonstrated superficially, but the focus might differ after different evolversprehended the same space model.


    "Alright." Lin Yuan nodded.


    He was feeling a bit impatient. Space rules, as the fundamental rules supporting the main world, were vast and endless. What othersprehended about space rules might not necessarily apply to Lin Yuan.


    "If you really want toprehend theplete space rules, you can pay a visit to the Alien Battlefield," Red Kun Star Lord suggested.


    "The Alien Battlefield?" Lin Yuan knew that it was where the human race and various other races deep in the starry sky shed.


    "The Alien Battlefield is where countless powerhouses battle, and even the strongest intervene. The space there is unstable, with even permanent spatial rifts." Red Kun Star Lord sighed.


    "The strongest?" Lin Yuan''s expression turned serious.


    In the current universe''s Human Civilization Alliance, there were nine powerhouses, each presiding over an Evolution Tower, illuminating the vast starry sky for eternity.


    Even with the entire universe as the backdrop, these powerhouses were the ultimate force, without equal.


    It was only in battles between the strongest that permanent spatial rifts could be created. Otherwise, with the ''self-healing ability'' of the main world''s universe, even thergest spatial rifts could slowly ''heal.''


    In the 2 million years of the Star Sea Era, the rapid expansion of human civilization and the suffering inflicted on other races were mainly due to the numerical advantage of the powerhouses.


    Even the peak war machine tribe, the Insect Tribe, had only six powerhouses. While they held the upper hand in lower and middle-level battlefields, they suffered a disadvantage in battles between the strongest.


    "The universe we are in has stable space and restrained rule fluctuations. As a result, it''s difficult toprehend space rules here."


    "But in the Alien Battlefield, space is not as stable. Especially in those torn permanent spatial rifts, the pervasive force of infinite space is beneficial forprehending space rules," Red Kun Star Lord exined.


    The Alien Battlefield was a meat grinder for countless races in the universe, full of dangers but also numerous opportunities.


    It was easier to sense space rules, but that was just one aspect.


    There were also other benefits.


    For example, certain legacies and many treasures.


    In numerous battles between alien powerhouses, many perished, leaving treasures scattered in hidden locations, with corpses buried underground.


    The bodies of powerful individuals from other races also hold significant value.


    Furthermore, the permanent spatial rifts in the foreign battlegrounds sometimes wee ''guests from beyond the realm.''


    If one can seize the opportunity, there are many benefits to be gained.


    "However, if you want to go to the foreign battleground, you must not go there in person. It''s better to cultivate a clone to go," Red Kun Star Lord advised.


    For geniuses like Lin Yuan, going there in person would be like offering themselves up to those foreign races.


    If Lin Yuan hides within the human domain or on the Red Kun Main Star, the foreign races would have to pay a hefty price to assassinate him, and even if he were resurrectedter, it wouldn''t matter.


    But in the foreign battlegrounds? As soon as news of Lin Yuan''s presence spreads, you''d better believe there will be a bunch of seventh and eighth rank foreign powerhouses waiting to pounce.


    Moreover, in the battlegrounds, killing Lin Yuan wouldn''t cost anything, and even if he were resurrectedter, it wouldn''t matter.


    "I understand," Lin Yuan nodded.


    Even when traveling through the Gate of the Myriad Realms to other worlds, he always did so using a secure method of consciousness descent.


    Let alone going to the perilous foreign battlegrounds.


    "There are more than ten methods of creating clones in the treasury. You can choose one when the timees," Red Kun Star Lord said.


    At the sixth rank, Lin Yuan could bear the cost of soul division required to create a clone.


    Creating a clone in the main world incurred much lower costspared to the immortal world.


    But even so, it still required a partial division of the soul, injecting it into the clone.


    Without a soul, the clone would be no different from a puppet.


    However, dividing a part of the soul was something that evolvers below the sixth rank couldn''t aplish. Even if they could, it would lead to a significant loss of potential and essence.


    "My Martial Spirits, Yin Spirit, and Yang Spirit," Lin Yuan subconsciouslypared his Yin and Yang Spirits to traditional clone techniques in the main world.


    He finally realized that his Martial Spirits was probably superior to most clone techniques.


    At the very least, he didn''t need to actively divide his soul. His Yin and Yang Spirits shared the same consciousness as his main body, forming a trinity.


    "It is said that in the depths of the starry sky, some rare and special beings are born with the talent of ''cloning.'' Most of the human civilization''s clone techniques were probably derived from those innate ''cloning'' talents," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Those ''cloning'' talents seemed to be simr to his Martial Spirits, not requiring soul division and sharing consciousness.


    Next, Red Kun Star Lord gave Lin Yuan a few more reminders.


    The gist was that even if he cultivated a clone and went to the foreign battleground, he should avoid exposing his identity.


    He shouldn''t try to kill those foreign races either. It wasn''t necessary, and if his clone were to fall in battle, it would also affect Lin Yuan''s main body.


    In the crimson pce, Red Kun Star Lord watched Lin Yuan leave.


    "My disciple''s understanding of spatial rules is probably unmatched by anyone except for the eldest. He hasprehended over eight hundred space models. Even my second and third disciples, at best, can only keep up with him or even be slightly inferior.


    As for the fourth, fifth, and so on, they aren''t even at the seventh rank" Red Kun Star Lord thought silently.


    "This talent..." Red Kun Star Lord sighed.


    For Lin Yuan, Red Kun Star Lord seemed to see himself getting older and falling behind the times.


    In such a short period, Lin Yuan had grown from being the weakest among the thirteen peak leaders at the fourth rank to now, second only to the Grand Peak Leader.


    Red Kun Star Lord could foresee that with Lin Yuan''s current rate of cultivation andprehension, surpassing the Grand Peak Leader was only a matter of time.


    Wait a minute.


    Red Kun Star Lord suddenly felt a pang of unease.


    Oh no, could it be that he was going to be surpassed by his own disciple too?


    ...

 Chapter 177

    Chapter 177


    "Perhaps I was overthinking."


    "Even though my clever disciple has grasped the basics of spatial rules..."


    "...breaking through to the eighth rank is not so easy."


    The Lord of Red Kunforted himself.


    Considering his numerous opportunities, even usurping a young Starry Sea Kun and crossing into the eighth rank was incredibly difficult.


    Even if Lin Yuan''s talent surpassed his own at the beginning, facing the bottleneck of the eighth rank, he couldn''t simply leap over it, could he?


    "Sigh..."


    "Sometimes, when disciples are too extraordinary, being a master doesn''t seem to have much meaning."


    The Lord of Red Kun sighed.Inside the pce of the Thirteenth Peak.


    "The Red Spirit Liquid has arrived."


    Lin Yuan looked at a small water pot in front of him.


    The small water pot was a spatial storage treasure, appearing to be only palm-sized, but it contained Red Spirit Liquid, equivalent to the weight of a small water pool.


    "Let''s begin."


    Lin Yuan pulled out the stopper from the small water pot.


    Although he hadn''t decided on the seventh rank of the martial path evolution, he had already settled on the sixth rank.


    With the Red Spirit Liquid in the water pot, Lin Yuan could reach the limit of the sixth rank in a short time.


    "I wonder what kind of body divine technique will emerge this time."


    Lin Yuan''s face revealed a sense of anticipation.


    In the Immortal World, the body divine techniques of the body cultivation lineage depended on the strange powers contained deep within one''s own bloodline.


    Lin Yuan''s creation of the sixth rank of the martial path evolution pathway borrowed heavily from the body cultivation lineage, especially in terms of bodily excavation.


    Therefore¡ª


    Theoretically, the sixth rank of the martial path could also give birth to body divine techniques.


    Lin Yuan, redoing the sixth rank, would result in different body divine techniques being born due to differences in the body.


    Gulp...


    Lin Yuan picked up the small water pot and swallowed all of the Red Spirit Liquid.


    As the liquid entered his throat, it turned into pure energy, nourishing his limbs and bones.


    Several dayster.


    Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.


    "I''ve reached the peak of the sixth rank."


    Lin Yuan didn''t dare to continue breaking through.


    Now, as long as he wished, he could quickly advance to the seventh rank.


    However, Lin Yuan wasn''t quite satisfied with that seventh rank; it didn''t quite match the previous five ranks of the martial path evolution.


    "The seventh rank of the martial path evolution should have sufficient insight into spatial rules, at least an understanding of spatial rules."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    As he delved deeper into spatial rules, his understanding of this aspect grew.


    The essence of the martial path evolution pathway was centered on the Tao of Tai Chi, epassing all paths, and then controlling them all.


    By incorporating one''s own understanding and insight into the "path" and perfecting the Tao of Tai Chi, one could then control all paths through the Tao of Tai Chi.


    Lin Yuan felt that for him, the most perfect approach to the seventh rank of the martial path evolution pathway was to integrate spatial rules.


    Of course.


    This was only for Lin Yuan himself.


    Other evolvers didn''t necessarily have to integrate spatial rules; they could choose other rules.


    Seeing which aspect they excelled in, integrating spatial rules was extremely difficult, and only seventh-rank evolvers had confidence in doing so.


    But integrating other rules had much lower thresholds.


    For example, in the test world of the Seven-Star Cave, the evolver with crimson mark tested brute strength, which was an entry into the rule of strength.


    Being able to enter the rule of strength with a fourth-rank body was indeed genius, but it also meant that this could be achieved.


    Other martial path evolvers only needed to enter a rule suitable for themselves at the peak of the sixth rank to have a chance to advance to the seventh rank.


    "The body divine technique is awakening" Lin Yuan carefully felt the changes in his body.


    Because he sensed that deep within his bloodline, a strange power was awakening and condensing.


    This was simr to when he first gave birth to body divine techniques in the Immortal World.


    "It should take another day or two."


    Lin Yuan spected in his mind.


    The birth of a body divine technique was not instantaneous but required time to awaken.


    At the current rate of awakening, Lin Yuan estimated that the body divine technique would be born in one or two days.


    "Hmm?"


    "Is Fang Qinging to see me?"


    Lin Yuan nced at the visitation records and found that Fang Qing wanted to see him.


    Virtual world.


    Personal space.


    Lin Yuan and Fang Qing sat facing each other.


    "No need to be so formal, just like before is fine." Lin Yuan noticed that Fang Qing was somewhat nervous and casually said.


    He and Fang Qing had a close rtionship; since the test of the Seven-Star Cave, Fang Qing had helped him by providing relevant information.


    Later, facing the suppression of ck Prison Ao, Lin Yuan was condemned by billions of citizens of the Cann Star.


    It was also Fang Qing who came forward and spared no effort, providing a lot of favors to rebuild trade rtions for the Cann Star.


    Although.


    What ck Prison Ao could do back then was limited, and external public opinion had no effect on Lin Yuan at all.


    But Fang Qing did want to help him sincerely.


    "Brother Lin, you''re so rxed, just like before." Fang Qing let out a sigh of relief and squeezed out a smile, saying, "Brother Lin, your current status is the peak master of the Red Kun lineage."


    Although Fang Qing said so, the tense heart finally rxed.


    At this moment, he was extremely grateful that he had helped Lin Yuan through the difficult times.


    Otherwise, with Lin Yuan''s current status, he probably wouldn''t even have a chance to see him.


    As far as Fang Qing knew, after Lin Yuan arrived at the main star of Red Kun, he hardly saw any outsiders.


    "How have you been recently?"


    Lin Yuan casually asked.


    "It''s okay."


    Fang Qing whispered, "Many people know about my rtionship with Brother Lin and want to get close to me, hoping to use me to get in touch with Brother Lin."


    When the Cann Star was suppressed by the ck Prison Family, Fang Qing stood up for his friend.


    Later, this friend transformed and became the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Star Domain.


    Among them, the one whose identity changed the most, aside from Lin Yuan and his family, was Fang Qing.


    After all, who didn''t know that Fang Qing had once helped him when the Thirteenth Peak Master hid his identity?


    Regardless.


    In the Red Kun lineage.


    Fang Qing was already considered one of the Thirteenth Peak Masters''closest friend.


    Even the core members of the Red Kun lineage treated Fang Qing with great respect.


    "Hahaha."


    Lin Yuanughed.


    Before Lin Yuan revealed his identity, many people tried every means to contact Fang Qing through him.


    Now, someone else was racking their brains, trying to get in touch with him through Fang Qing.


    The change before and after made Lin Yuan feel quite emotional.


    "The Thirteenth Peak is just established. Do you want toe and help me?" (Aw how cute)


    After chatting with Fang Qing for a while, Lin Yuan casually said.


    Everyone knows that joining the Thirteenth Peak now is equivalent to being the first to join the Thirteenth Peak Master, and in the future, they will be senior members.


    "Thank you, Brother Lin."


    Upon hearing this, Fang Qing immediately stood up respectfully.


    This sentence from Lin Yuan was equivalent to letting Fang Qing ascend to the sky in one step in the Red Kun lineage.


    Bing a master''s subordinate or even a confidant, how glorious would that be?


    After chatting with Lin Yuan, Fang Qing returned to his personal space.


    "Fang kid."


    "How was what I said before? Your Brother Lin is destined for a great future."


    The old man with white beard said proudly.


    As a spiritual life, the old man with the white beard didn''t have much strength, but his vision was extremely sharp.


    "In the future, follow your Brother Lin properly and do things for him. Don''t think about anything else, understand?"


    The old man with the white beard reminded.


    He knew very well that people like Lin Yuan, who were mad about cultivation, generally wouldn''t bother with too many things.


    But if Fang Qing tried to gain something for himself through this, then he would be making a big mistake.


    "Understood."


    Fang Qing nodded.


    As one of the first members to join the Thirteenth Peak, it wasn''t difficult for Fang Qing to be promoted to a core member of the Red Kun lineage.


    With such a great opportunity, if Fang Qing still thought about other benefits, then he would really be betraying Lin Yuan''s trust.


    "Keep practicing well."


    "Your starting point now has far surpassed the old master''s."


    The tone of the old man with the white beard suddenly became low.


    His old master was an evolver at the sixth rank, although he had some reputation in the Red Kun Star Domain and the surrounding star domains.


    But how could hepare to Fang Qing now? It''s good to seek refuge under a big tree, especially under the Thirteenth Peak Master.


    Virtual world.


    Personal space.


    Lin Yuan opened his personal settlement panel.


    "The settlement of the ie from the martial path evolution pathway."


    Lin Yuan nced at the final amount.


    "2896.7 billion civilization coins?"


    "So much?"


    Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised.


    This unit is in billions.


    "Mainly because of the effort in the sixth rank."


    Lin Yuan nced at the sales figures of various rank paths.


    It turned out that the sixth rank had been purchased over a thousand times.


    It''s worth noting that Lin Yuan priced the sixth rank at five billion.


    With over a thousand purchases of the sixth rank, that would be five trillion.


    Adding the three-seven split with the human civilization, after deducting taxes, the final ie would be close to two trillion.


    "The sixth rank was purchased over a thousand times, mostly out of curiosity. As for the evolvers who really intend to practice to the extreme of the fifth rank and intend to purchase the sixth rank, there are none."


    Lin Yuan knew very well how these thousand purchases came about.


    The martial path evolution pathway soared in the rankings of the Red Kun evolution list, which was believed to be the handiwork of a certain evolutionary schr.


    Naturally, it aroused the curiosity of many high-level evolvers.


    So whenever Lin Yuan updated thetest rank paths of the martial path evolution pathway, there would be a bunch of evolvers buying them directly.


    Their reason for purchase was probably not for cultivation but purely out of curiosity, wanting to see why the martial path evolution pathway had such potential.


    "Time is still too short."


    "If it had been a hundred or two hundred years ago, when fourth and fifth rank evolvers were born among the martial path evolvers, that would be the hottest time to purchase the sixth rank."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Momentary curiosity couldn''t generate a steady stream of ie.


    But as long as the martial path evolution pathway spread wider and more evolvers practiced it, that would be the real gold mine.


    "Thirty trillion."


    "It''s just the ie from one settlement."


    Lin Yuan nced at his ount bnce, feeling pleased.


    Although with his strength, with his identity, thirty trillion wasn''t much, but for Lin Yuan, it was as good as given for free.


    "I still need to push it a bit."


    After thinking for a while, Lin Yuan made a decision.


    The speed of cultivation of martial path evolvers was too slow now, and most martial path evolvers, without someone guiding them, were prone to take the wrong path.


    "Since I have some free time now, I''ll make a few episodes of martial arts analysis videos."


    With a slight movement of his mind, the environment in Lin Yuan''s personal space began to change.


    His appearance, figure, and temperament also began to change ordingly.


    Finally, the image of a thin man appeared.


    "Alright."


    Lin Yuan rubbed his chin.


    He began to exin the martial path evolution pathway starting from the first rank.


    The first rank was the beginning of the martial path evolution pathway, divided into stages such as Innate Realm, Master Realm, and Grandmaster Realm.


    Among the current martial path evolvers, the number of evolvers at the first rank was the highest.


    "The so-called Innate."


    Lin Yuan''snguage was concise, using only a few thousand words to introduce the Innate Rank briefly, and then spent over ten minutes borating.


    Time passed.


    In a blink of an eye, nearly half a day had passed.


    Lin Yuan sessfully recorded over ten videos in total.


    They included parts of the first rank, second rank, and third rank.


    "It''s almost done."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    Reviewing the first, second, and third ranks of the martial path would also be helpful for Lin Yuan.


    "Upload them to the virtual world."


    Lin Yuan entered the ount of the martial path founder ''Yuan'', and then uploaded the newly recorded over ten exnatory videos below.


    "So many followers?"


    Lin Yuan nced at the number of followers of ''Yuan'', which exceeded ten billion.


    It''s worth noting that these ten billion followers weren''t ordinary citizens, but those who could enter the virtual world to watch ''Yuan'' were evolvers or high-level citizens.


    With a ten billion followers, ''Yuan'' was not much different from some star evolvers in the Red Kun Star Domain.


    "Done."


    After clicking upload, it took just an instant.


    Over ten exnatory videos appeared under the ount of ''Yuan''.


    "I hope you won''t disappoint me."


    The more martial path evolvers there were, especially the higher-level ones, the deeper Lin Yuan''s umtion and foundation in certain aspects would be.


    In the future ''Ultimate Leap'', everything would be transformed into overwhelming advantages.


    After uploading the videos.


    Lin Yuan didn''t pay any more attention.


    Instead, he contemted the remaining spatial models.


    At the entry level of spatial rules, Lin Yuan hadprehended four-fifths of the nine hundred and sixty-five spatial models.


    With dozens of spatial models left, after the personal demonstration by the Red Kun Star Lord, Lin Yuan had a rough idea in his mind. With his extraordinaryprehension,prehending them was just a matter of time.


    "Comprehending nine hundred and sixty-five spatial models, at the entry level of spatial rules, should be able to create the ideal seventh rank."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Using the entry-levelprehension of spatial models,bined with the principles of Tai Chi, to create the martial path evolution pathway,


    Lin Yuan had a feeling that once he entered the ideal state of the seventh rank, his strength would soar.


    "The Mysterious Yellow Evolution Pathway."


    After contemting spatial rules for a while, Lin Yuan began to contemte other evolution pathways.


    Especially the spatial evolution pathways, which imprinted a certain essence of spatial rules, sometimes were not weaker than directlyprehending spatial models.


    In addition.


    Whenever he had spare time, Lin Yuan would also contemte the Way of Sun and Moon. The fire rule crystal given to him by the Red Kun Star Lord had not been fullyprehended by Lin Yuan until now, and every time he watched andprehended it, he had different feelings.


    Time passed.


    In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.


    Just as Lin Yuan was still immersed in cultivation and enlightenment.


    A fluctuation that only Lin Yuan could perceive slowly spread from his bloodline.


    "My bodily divine ability is about to take shape?"


    Lin Yuan immediately stopped his cultivation, focusing his attention on the changes in his body.


    "My second bodily divine ability."


    Having experienced the formation of the first bodily divine ability, Lin Yuan had some experience this time. He carefully felt the strange power deep within his bloodline.

 Chapter 178

    Chapter 178


    Time passed slowly.


    The strange power deep within Lin Yuan''s blood became increasingly apparent.


    "Should this awakened fleshly divine ability be inclined towardsbat and killing?"


    Fleshly divine abilities are also divided into different types.


    Some are proficient in defense, Some are proficient in self-preservation, Some are proficient in attack. It all depends on which strange power deep within the blood is activated.


    Hum!!


    Just as Lin Yuan was carefully sensing it.


    Aplete strange power was ''peeled off'' from deep within the blood.


    Immediately after.Information about this strange power surged into Lin Yuan''s mind.


    "Fleshly Divine Ability¡ªMoving Mountains?"


    Lin Yuan naturally understood everything about this ''Moving Mountains'' divine ability.


    The ''Moving Mountains'' divine ability is not meant to be taken literally, but rather symbolically or descriptively.


    "I didn''t expect this awakened fleshly divine ability to be rted to the rule of strength?"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    ''Moving Mountains'' divine ability is purely a ''Strength Divine Ability'', rted to the rule of strength.


    Compared to other rules in the universe, the rule of strength is undoubtedly the mostmon, as every living being wields strength.


    Therefore.


    Entry into the rule of strength is not difficult.


    In the previous Seven-Star Cave trial, there was a figure named Barbaric Force, who had already mastered the rule of strength at the Fourth Rank.


    Of course, when saying it''s not difficult, it''s rtive to those true evolver geniuses.


    For ordinary evolvers, toprehend the rule of strength to the entry level, it requires at least reaching the Fifth Rank or even the Sixth Rank.


    Otherwise, Barbaric Force wouldn''t have been designated by the Red Kun Master as a Crimson Mark trial participant.


    "The rule of strength is easy to enter, but its upper limit is very high. Whenprehended to the deepest level, every move and action can crush everything with strength. This is an extremely pure path."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The nine Evolution Towers of the Alliance of Human Civilizations symbolize the undisputed pinnacle of the field of evolution.


    Among them, one of the Evolution Towers is the Tower of Strength, and the strongest person in that Evolution Tower follows the path of the rule of strength.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan felt the strange power rted to the ''Moving Mountains'' divine ability in his blood resonating with the rule of strength, faintly forming secret patterns between his flesh and blood, like a demonic.


    In the midst of the faint secret patterns, resonating with the external rule of strength, Lin Yuan had a feeling that with just one blow, he could carry a trace of the rule of strength, and the power of that blow would increase several times or even tenfold in terms of strength.


    "These..."


    Lin Yuan carefully observed the secret patterns between the flesh and blood in his body.


    [Your unrivaled insight deepens yourprehension of the essence of the rule of strength through observing the secret patterns of the rule of strength.]


    [Your unrivaled insight deepens yourprehension of the essence of the rule of strength through observing the secret patterns of the rule of strength.]


    [Your unrivaled insight deepens yourprehension of the essence of the rule of strength through observing the secret patterns of the rule of strength.]


    In just a moment.


    Lin Yuan woke up.


    "I actually entered the rule of strength?"


    Lin Yuan looked surprised. Before this, he hadn''t spent much timeprehending the rule of strength.


    Even with unrivaled insight, there are so many avenues in the world. He had to have focused most of his energy on the rules he wanted toprehend, such as Yin, Yang, Tai Chi, space, and so on.


    The Tao of Tai Chi epasses all paths, but Lin Yuan didn''t fullyprehend it. Instead, he used the Tao of Tai Chi to activate other paths.


    It''s like a knife¡ªyou can use it, but you don''t understand its structure.


    As for the rule of strength, although entry isn''t difficult, Lin Yuan estimated that if he devoted himself fully to this path, it would take more than ten days.


    Now, just a moment?


    "Are these secret patterns responsible?"


    "These secret patterns represent the essence of the ''Moving Mountains'' divine ability."


    "Comprehending these secret patterns is equivalent toprehending the deeper levels of the rule of strength?"


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    "I didn''t expect this fleshly divine ability to have such a use?"


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    The ''Moving Mountains'' divine ability can already enhance Lin Yuan''s frontalbat capabilities, and now it can make it easier for him toprehend the rule of strength.


    "It''s just that the ''Blood Rebirth.''..."


    Lin Yuan carefully felt the imprint of the ''Blood Rebirth'' technique.


    In the Immortal Realm, Lin Yuan, with his unrivaled insight, fullyprehended the ''Blood Rebirth'' technique, but did not feel that this divine ability was rted to any rule.


    "Perhaps divine abilities are different from each other."


    Lin Yuan didn''t dwell on it any further. Whether it''s Blood Rebirth or Moving Mountains, they are all free means.


    Red Kun Star Domain.


    Central square area.


    "The Path of Martial Evolution does not require prerequisites, such as a powerful innate physical body, a vigorous spirit, or special physique, etc."


    "Anyone can practice it, but whether you can enter, whether you can step into the realm of the innate, depends on yourself."


    A rough-looking man looked at the towering Evolution Ranking in the distance and said quietly to several young evolvers beside him.


    Evolution, at least, give people the opportunity to try, but many other evolutionary paths are a one-shot deal.


    If you don''t have the conditions, you can''t even get in.


    "Uncle Chen, I''m trying to break through to the Innate Realm, but what exactly is the innate internal breath mentioned inside?"


    A young man couldn''t help but ask.


    "The initial realm of the first stage of the martial arts evolutionary path is the Innate Realm. As for the Postnatal Realm, it''s the stage before entering the martial arts ranks. Evolvers who reach this stage are equivalent to other non-ranked evolvers."


    "Innate Internal Energy,"


    After a moment of silence, the rugged man, who was not an evolver of the martial arts evolutionary path, didn''t know much about innate internal energy.


    "In this aspect, it mainly depends on your ownprehension."


    The rugged man thought for a moment, about to speak.


    Just then, other evolvers in the central square area began to buzz and chatter.


    "What''s going on?"


    The rugged man quickly learned from the nearby evolvers that the mysterious founder of the martial arts evolutionary path had uploaded instructional videos on practicing the martial arts evolutionary path.


    "Instructional videos?"


    The rugged man''s spirits lifted.


    Given the poprity of the martial arts evolutionary path, there were naturally many rted videos about this evolutionary path. This included many videos of evolvers who had reached the second or third rank of martial arts practice, sharing their own experiences.


    However, many of these videos from second or third rank martial arts evolvers were inurate or even incorrect.


    "Hurry, watch the videos of the founder of the martial arts evolutionary path."


    The rugged man immediately instructed the few young men nearby. They were all evolvers practicing the martial arts evolutionary path, just one step away from ranking up.


    "Alright."


    These young men were also excited. The founder of the martial arts evolutionary path was recognized as a great schr in evolution.


    Facing instructional videos uploaded by such a figure, even those who were not practitioners of the martial arts evolutionary path would benefit from watching.


    Moreover, they?


    "I''ll take a look too."


    The rugged man himself opened the video and watched attentively.


    After a moment, the virtual world was once again bustling.


    "So that''s it. To advance to the second rank of the martial arts, besides mastering a certain kind of power, you need to have perfect control over yourself."


    "Impressive! This founder''s videos are concise and straight to the point, much better than those broadcasters who just talk about their own understanding of martial arts."


    "Do those broadcasters evenpare to Schr Yuan?"


    Countless evolvers and higher-level citizens exchanged opinions, spreading the news of the instructional videos rapidly.


    "I understand now."


    "Don''t finish! Why is only half of the third rank exined? What about the rest?"


    "So this is the essence of the martial arts evolutionary path? I''ve decided, I''m going to let my son pursue the martial arts evolutionary path."


    The more martial arts evolvers there were, the more they felt that Lin Yuan''s uploaded instructional videos were extraordinary.


    Often, the problems and puzzles they couldn''t understand were rified after watching the videos.


    It was like a lighthouse in the darkness, guiding countless evolvers towards the right direction.


    Some evolvers who had been on the wrong path adjusted their training methods immediately after watching the videos and sessfully corrected their course.


    Excitement filled the air, and even evolvers from other evolutionary paths gained a lot from the videos.


    Although different evolutionary paths represented different directions and essences, there was still somemon ground in the core aspects of training. For evolvers who reached the fourth or fifth rank in other evolutionary paths, if they were to switch to another path, their training speed would definitely be much faster.


    "Reward. Although Schr Yuan doesn''t care about this money, I have to reward him."


    "Well said. These videos have been immensely helpful to me. I must reward him too."


    Personal ounts in the virtual world could be "rewarded". Even the top-tier celebrity evolvers received rewards in billions every year.


    Red Kun Main Star.


    The Thirteenth Mountain Pce.


    "The eight hundred and seventy-seventh spatial model."


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, asionally raising his right hand. Threads of spatial force intertwined like water ripples in front of him.


    "Finally done."


    After a moment, aplete spatial model appeared in front of Lin Yuan.


    With the demonstration from the Red Kun Star Lord, Lin Yuan''sprehension of subsequent spatial models had noticeably elerated. In just a day or two, he hadprehended another spatial model.


    "Still too slow."


    Lin Yuan frowned slightly.


    At this rate, it would take him over half a year toprehend the remaining hundred or so spatial models.


    Comprehending over a hundred spatial models in one or two years, especially thest hundred, was a contemtion speed that any evolver wouldn''t dare to imagine.


    Even the silver-haired woman, Silver Spirit, who possessed extremely high spatial talent, would probably take thousands of years toprehend over a hundred spatial models.


    However, Lin Yuan had high standards for himself.


    He wanted to open up the seventh-ranksection of the martial arts evolutionary system as soon as possible.


    "I can try the method Teacher mentioned"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The fluctuations in the alien battlefield space were frequent, and there were permanent spatial rifts. Comprehending spatial rules there was no different from taking shortcuts.


    "I can send my Yang Spirit to the alien battlefield"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The alien battlefield was full of opportunities and made it easier toprehend spatial rules, but it also posed great danger.


    However, the Yang Spirit was Lin Yuan''s spiritual avatar. Even if it perished outside, there would be no loss, as it could quickly recondense.


    Moreover, the Yang Spirit''sbat power was only slightly weaker than Lin Yuan''s main body. If the Yang Spirit fused with the Yin Spirit to form the Tai Chi Spirit, it would possess killing power no weaker than Lin Yuan''s main body.


    In the immortal world, while Lin Yuan''s main body cultivated in the Misty Clouds Blessed Land, the Yin and Yang Spirits were his means of intervening in the outside world.


    "First, I need to decide which alien battlefield to go to."


    A virtual screen appeared in front of Lin Yuan, shing rows of text.


    The Human Civilization Alliance waged war in all directions and fought against many alien races. The total number of alien battlefields opened up by human civilization reached 2,603,462.


    Among them were 135rge-scale alien battlefields.


    There were 865,111 medium-sized alien battlefields.


    The rest were small-scale alien battlefields.


    The scale ofrge, medium, and small alien battlefields depended on the top-tier powers on the battlefield, the number of strong individuals, and the types of races.


    The top powers in small-scale battlefields were generally at the seventh rank, with a few reaching the eighth rank.


    In medium-scale battlefields, the top powers were at the eighth rank, ninth rank, or even higher.


    As for the 135rge-scale battlefields opened by human civilization, they were all under the watchful eyes of the top powers.


    In other words, top powers could intervene at any time onrge-scale battlefields.


    The alien races that could contend with the Human Civilization Alliance onrge-scale battlefields were all peak races like the Insect race.


    That was the real ughterhouse. After a war, even eighth-rankevolvers had the risk of perishing.


    "For the first visit to the alien battlefield, I should be cautious and choose a small-scale alien battlefield."


    Lin Yuan didn''t focus on medium orrge-scale battlefields.


    Although the death of the Yang Spirit would incur no loss to Lin Yuan and only take some time to recondense,


    It was still best to avoid death if possible.


    Lin Yuan''s purpose in going to the alien battlefield was very clear.


    He wasn''t like other evolvers, going to kill aliens and earn merit points.


    His sole purpose in going to the alien battlefield was to betterprehend spatial rules.


    For this purpose, a small-scale alien battlefield was sufficient.


    "There are over two million small-scale alien battlefields."


    Lin Yuan began to make his selection.


    Even in small-scale alien battlefields, there were different types. Some small-scale alien battlefields were no different from human civilization territories.


    The small-scale alien battlefield Lin Yuan chose was definitely one with obvious spatial fluctuations.


    Half an hourter, Lin Yuan had roughly finished browsing.


    He finally settled on the option of a small-scale battlefield.


    "Designation C24763 Alien Battlefield."


    Lin Yuan looked at the information disyed about this alien battlefield.


    The C24763 Alien Battlefield was opened by the Human Civilization Alliance and the "ck Abyss" n.


    The ck Abyss n hailed from the cosmic secret realm, the ck Abyss, and were the indigenous inhabitants of that secret realm.


    Since the discovery of the cosmic secret realm, the ck Abyss n had quickly integrated into the universe and joined the Insect Grand Alliance to jointly resist the Human Civilization Alliance.


    "The ck Abyss n has various forms, and their way of cultivation involves absorbing and expelling the ck Abyss power within the secret realm. They are a powerful n within the Insect Grand Alliance,"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.

 Chapter 179

    Chapter 179


    The strength of the main world''s ethnic groups is divided into Peak Ethnic Groups, Powerful Ethnic Groups, Ordinary Ethnic Groups, and Weak Ethnic Groups.


    The Insect Race Grand Alliance is led by the Peak Ethnic Group of the Insect Race, uniting hundreds of powerful ethnic groups, as well as thousands of ordinary ethnic groups, to resist the expansion of human civilization and fight for their own interests.


    In addition to the Insect Race Grand Alliance, there are six or seven simr ethnic group alliances, all centered around a peak ethnic group.


    Of course.


    Human civilization has also absorbed many alien races, so human civilization is also called the Human Civilization Alliance.


    "The C24763 Alien Battlefield, with obvious spatial fluctuations and a permanent spatial rift, was caused by a high-level evolver holding an extremely powerful weapon millions of years ago."


    Lin Yuan understood many details about this alien battlefield.


    In the world of immortality, the reason Lin Yuan dared not send the Yang Spirit and the Yin Spirit to the Spirit Realm was because he did not understand it.


    This means great risk. With the coordinates of the Spirit Realm in hand, Lin Yuan doesn''t need to take such risks.Other cultivators and demons are eager to ascend to the Spirit Realm, willing to pay any price for it.


    That''s because they have no other choice.


    But Lin Yuan is different.


    He has many choices.


    Even without the coordinates of the Spirit Realm, Lin Yuan has almost infinite options.


    "That battlefield will do."


    Lin Yuan made a decision in his heart.


    From the Red Kun Main Star to the C24763 Alien Battlefield, even if he could traverse wormholes, it would still take nearly half a month.


    So Lin Yuan had to hurry.


    "Goddess of Wisdom, I apply to go to the C24763 Alien Battlefield."


    Lin Yuan connected to the Goddess of Wisdom and stated his request.


    "Respected Level 6 Citizen Lin Yuan, with your identity, there is no need to go to the alien battlefield to battle."


    The solemn and cold voice of the Goddess of Wisdom came, unusually starting to persuade Lin Yuan.


    This was simr to Red Kun, which also did not rmend Lin Yuan to go to the alien battlefield. Even if he wanted to go, it would be best to go with a clone.


    "Don''t worry, I won''t go there in person."


    Lin Yuan exined.


    "Respected Level 6 Citizen Lin Yuan, you can now state your request."


    Suddenly, a cold voice full of killing intent came,pletely different in style from the solemn and cold tone of the Goddess of Wisdom.


    "It''s the Goddess of Freedom."


    Lin Yuan''s heart stirred slightly.


    In the human civilization alliance, there are three ultimate intelligent goddesses.


    They are the Goddess of Wisdom, the Goddess of Freedom, and the Goddess of Justice.


    The three goddesses are in charge of different areas. The Goddess of Wisdom is responsible for civilian life and is the goddess Lin Yuan has the most contact with.


    The Goddess of Freedom, on the other hand, is responsible for war and aggression.


    In short, the more than two million alien battlefields opened by the human civilization alliance are all allocated and dispatched by the Goddess of Freedom.


    If Lin Yuan wants to go to the alien battlefield, anything that follows naturally needs to be connected to the Goddess of Freedom.


    "Conceal my identity, I don''t need to follow the team."


    Lin Yuan''s identity is the Thirteenth Peaks Master of the Red Kun Lineage. If he were to go to the alien battlefield with this identity, it would probably attract arge number of Rank 7 and Rank8 alien powerhouses to a small-scale battlefield.


    As for the strength of a single evolver without following a team, it is very small in the alien battlefield. To kill alien powerhouses and earn meritorious points, it would at least require several evolvers of the same level to join forces to have a chance.


    That''s why most evolvers on the battlefield choose to form teams.


    But Lin Yuan doesn''t need to.


    He hadn''t nned to fight desperately with alien powerhouses.


    "Respected Level 6 Citizen Lin Yuan, your application has been approved, and your battlefield pass has been updated."


    The cold and killing intent-filled voice of the Goddess of Freedom came.


    The battlefield pass is very important proof, symbolizing Lin Yuan''s identity in the human civilization camp, allowing him to enter and exit the human alliance territory on the battlefield.


    Without a battlefield pass, in the alien battlefield, you are equivalent to a person without identity. Whether you are a human or an alien, anyone can attack you.


    "It''s almost ready."


    Lin Yuan''s mind moved slightly, and a hundreds of metersrge spacecraft appeared in front of him.


    The warship was entirely ck, with a streamlined shape, exuding a sense of high technology.


    The universe is too vast. For example, from the main star of Red Kun to the C24763 Alien Battlefield, even if you travel at the speed of light, it would take a very long time.


    So for normal human evolvers on the road, they use warships for long-distance wormhole traversal.


    However, wormhole traversal requires cooldown.


    Unless a price is paid, continuous traversal is impossible.


    Swish.


    A illusory figure walked out of Lin Yuan''s body.


    When appearing outside, it quickly condensed into substance.


    It was Lin Yuan''s Yang Spirit.


    "Go ahead."


    Lin Yuan looked at the Yang Spirit.


    The Yang Spirit smiled and walked into the spaceship.


    Immediately.


    The spaceship started.


    Flying away from the main star of Red Kun.


    As the most prosperous in a star region, countless spacecrafte and go every day.


    The spacecraft Lin Yuan was riding on was inconspicuous.


    Swoosh.


    The ck spaceship entered the star tform of the main star of Red Kun in an instant, ready to leave.


    "I hope the improvement in understanding the rules of space on the alien battlefield will be helpful to me."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    He specifically sent the Yang Spirit to the alien battlefield not only toprehend the 965 spatial models as soon as possible.


    But also to have a stimting effect on the speed ofprehending the 7,782 spatial modelster on.


    "Howe there''s so much money added to my ount?"


    Lin Yuan returned to the main hall, casually nced at his ount bnce, and found billions of civilization coins added.


    Billions of civilization coins were not a small amount for fifth and sixth-Rank evolvers.


    "Was I rewarded?"


    Lin Yuan checked the source of the civilization coins and found they came from ''rewards''.


    "The videos I uploaded?"


    Only then did Lin Yuan remember that a few days ago, in order to make it easier for martial arts evolvers to practice and spread the path of martial arts evolution faster and wider, he had specifically recorded some instructional videos.


    Thinking of this, Lin Yuan immediately opened the ount of ''Yuan'' and checked thements under the videos.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.


    Thements under each video exceeded a ten billion, and the vast majority ofmenters were not martial arts evolvers.


    "They''re all urging me to update the instructional videos for the second half of Rank Three, Rank Four, and RankFive?"


    Lin Yuan scanned through and shook his head slightly.


    Instructional videos like these weren''t something you could just make.


    It had nothing to do with Lin Yuan''s understanding of the path of martial arts evolution.


    Even if Lin Yuan understood deeply, what use would it be if others didn''t understand?


    So the production of such videos had to be exined and interpreted using ordinarynguage that ordinary evolvers could understand.


    "The number of first-Rankmartial arts evolvers has increased by arge margin?"


    Lin Yuan nced at the path of martial arts evolution, the real-time curve of the number of evolvers at each stage.


    He found that from the day he published the videos, the number of first-Rankmartial arts evolvers had begun to skyrocket.


    In addition, the numbers of second-Rank and third-Rankmartial arts evolvers also saw a significant increase.


    "Not bad."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    The skyrocketing number of martial arts evolvers not only meant that Lin Yuan''s ie would skyrocket.


    It also increased Lin Yuan''s ''foundation'' in a certain way.


    Thetter was even more crucial.


    At the border of the universe''s human civilization territory.


    The void slightly distorted. A ck spaceship appeared.


    "The 862nd wormhole traversal ispleted, and we are about to arrive at the C24763 Alien Battlefield."


    The voice of the intelligent assistant inside the spaceship rang in Lin Yuan''s ears.


    Lin Yuan''s Yang Spirit opened its eyes, looking ahead.


    From leaving the main star of Red Kun to arriving at the C24763 Alien Battlefield, it took a total of eighteen days.


    "Is that the alien battlefield?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression was somewhat shocked.


    In the extremely distant ce, a continent floated under the cosmic sky.


    "The C24763 Alien Battlefield is overall shaped like a continent, with a diameter of 0.2 light-years, which is near two trillion kilometers."


    Lin Yuan shed through the specific information about the C24763 Alien Battlefield in his mind.


    The universe is vast, ands are just the mostmon celestial bodies. Besidess, there are many incredible celestial bodies in the depths of the universe.


    Landmass-shaped celestial bodies are not rare. Many alien battlefields are located on such huge entities measured in light-years.


    "Where do I enter?"


    Lin Yuan began to determine the direction.


    The C24763 Alien Battlefield was too vast, with its surface filled with a mist of cosmic energy.


    Generally, when evolvers enter such a battlefield, they randomly choose a direction to enter, and only when they are inside can they roughly determine their position.


    "Let''s go."


    Lin Yuan controlled the spaceship and flew towards a direction.


    At the periphery of the C24763 Alien Battlefield.


    Several figures were standing in a valley.


    These figures exuded a strange and dark aura, all from the ck Abyss n of the ck Abyss.


    The ck Abyss n, born from the cosmic secret realm ck Abyss, practiced by swallowing the power of the ck Abyss.


    Compared to normal cosmic energy, the power of the ck Abyss was treacherous and sinister. So when the ck Abyss n came into contact with the outside universe, they quickly stabilized their position.


    Unlike other cosmic secret realms that were discovered and had their inhabitants directly kept captive, bing the backyard of the peak ethnic groups, the situation for the ck Abyss n was not so miserable.


    Of course.


    The fact that the ck Abyss n could achieve this level was also somewhat rted to their timely submission to the insect race, and offering the treasure of the ck Abyss n¡ªthe Heart of the ck Abyss.


    With the protection of the insect race, most ethnic groups dared not have any thoughts about the ck Abyss secret realm.


    Several figures of the ck Abyss n, with the leading figure staring at a slightly distorted spatial barrier in the corner of the valley.


    The other members of the ck Abyss n were equally excited.


    On the alien battlefield, countless powerful beings fought. asionally, one would end up fatally wounded and unable to return to their own camp, forced to hide and recuperate in some hidden location. But often, their injuries wouldn''t heal in time, and they would perish from the bacsh.


    Of course, before dying, these powerful beings would have made preparations.


    Obtaining the treasures they left behind wouldn''t be an easy task for outsiders.


    For instance, this spatial entrance, capable of creating a stable space, undoubtedly required a deep understanding of spatial rules. And if it had remained stable for so many years, it had likelyprehended at least 965 basic spatial models.


    This meant that the being who created it was at least a seventh-Rank king proficient in spatialws, or possibly even an eighth-Rankpowerhouse.


    The mere possibility that it was the legacy of an eighth-Rankpowerhouse excited the ck Abyss n members.


    All of them were sixth-Rank powerhouses, so facing the potential legacy of an eighth-Rankpowerhouse required considerable restraint to remain rational.


    "It should be left behind by a human evolver," the leader of the ck Abyss n observed carefully, his brow furrowing slightly.


    If this spatial entrance had been left by an eighth-Rankmember of the ck Abyss n, they would dare to enter directly. Since they belonged to the same n, any traps set would likely be targeted at other alien races, and the creator would naturally hope that the legacy would fall into the hands of their own kind.


    Therefore, the ck Abyss n members just needed to disy their n''s aura to obtain everything smoothly.


    But humans... They were in an antagonistic rtionship with the ck Abyss n. If they entered, it would undoubtedly trigger various traps left by the creator.


    A legacy left by a being suspected to be an eighth-Rankpowerhouse would still possess significant power even after hundreds of thousands of years.


    "You go first," the leader of the ck Abyss n said casually after scanning the others.


    "Captain Weiqing, I''m not the strongest. It might not be wise for me to enter such a level of spatial entrance without being sure," the ck Abyss member named Ranfen cautiously suggested, watching the leader, Captain Weiqing, for a reaction.


    Although the prospect of obtaining the legacy of an eighth-Rankpowerhouse tempted him, the prerequisite was being alive to im it. The first person to enter would undoubtedly face the greatest risk.


    "Ranfen, although you''re not the strongest, you have excellent survival skills. If you go in ording to the predetermined rules, you''ll get a 30% share of all the gains," another ck Abyss member spoke up.


    "Captain Weiqing, you heard that."


    Ranfen acted, mainly because he had no other choice. If he didn''t go in, Captain Weiqing would likely ''invite'' him in.


    A momentter, Captain Weiqing furrowed his brows.


    "He''s dead," Weiqing announced.


    Ranfen hadn''t been in the entrance for long beforepletely losing contact, indicating his demise.


    "Ranfen''s ability to survive, even if he were a seventh-Rankpowerhouse, wouldn''t be killed so quickly, right?" the other ck Abyss n members immediately felt the situation bing tricky.


    "This also indicates that this spatial entrance has greater value."


    Weiqing concluded.


    The group had stumbled upon this ce by chance while passing through.


    They had only discovered the spatial entrance when they decided to rest in the valley.


    The entrance''s aura was concealed, making it impossible to detect with perception alone. Only by approaching a certain distance could anomalies be noticed.


    So over the years, this spatial entrance had remained undiscovered.


    The C24763 Alien Battlefield was too vast, with a diameter of 0.2 light-years, likely many timesrger than a typical.


    "What about you?"


    Weiqing nced at the remaining ck Abyss members.


    "Captain Weiqing, if even Ranfen died, entering would mean certain death for us too. There''s no need for it," the other ck Abyss n members expressed nervously.


    "That''s true."


    Weiqing pondered.


    He didn''t mind the life or death of the other ck Abyss n members, but only if they could obtain the legacy within the spatial entrance.


    "Do we have to report this to the n?" Weiqing felt somewhat reluctant.


    With the ck Abyss n''s strength, they could send out powerful beings who would surely retrieve all the treasures from within the spatial entrance. But in that case, Weiqing would only get a small share. The bulk would undoubtedly go to the n.


    "Hmm?"


    At that moment, Weiqing seemed to sense something and looked towards a certain direction.


    A ck spaceship was flying in their direction.


    "Is it a human evolver?"


    Weiqing immediately deduced that the ck Abyss n didn''t have the technology to create spaceships capable of traversing wormholes. Therefore, they rarely relied on spaceships for travel.


    "Captain Weiqing, we can capture this human and force them to enter the spatial entrance."


    "He''s human, and the being who left behind this spatial entrance should also be human."


    "If a human enters, they probably won''t encounter traps meant to kill them. We can wait until they obtain all the treasures, then take them from him."


    A ck Abyss n member immediately suggested.


    The other members of the ck Abyss n agreed.


    In this way, they wouldn''t need to venture into the unknown, nor would they have to report to the n and relinquish the lion''s share of the loot.


    Weiqing''s eyes lit up slightly, nodding:


    "Good idea."


    Then he looked up towards the position of the ck spaceship, a smile ying on his lips.


    "Luck is on our side."

 Chapter 180

    Chapter 180


    The several powerful members of the ck Abyss n in the valley were in a good mood.


    Originally, they were all prepared to report this space entrance to the n. After all, even if they took a small share, it would be much better than not taking any at all.


    But now, they unexpectedly found a member of the human race actively approaching this way.


    As long as they could control this member of the human race and force them to enter the space entrance.


    With their identity as the same race as the owner of the space entrance, they should be able to easily bring out all the treasures.


    By then, they could fully enjoy the treasures inside this space entrance.


    "Don''t be too happy too soon."


    "First, determine the strength and number of the human race in the spaceship approaching."


    Captain Weiqing did not rx his vignce. In the alien battlefield, any negligence could cost them their lives.Compared to peak groups such as humans and insects, who had the possibility of resurrection.


    Their lives were really gone once they died, and the n could not afford to pay a big price to ask the peak groups to resurrect them.


    "Okay."


    A ck-skinned Abyssal n member took out a sky-blue gem.


    Immediately, he aimed one side of the gem at the rapidly approaching sleek ck spaceship.


    Hum.


    A slight ripple spread.


    This sky-blue gem, bestowed by the insect race, was used to detect the surrounding environment and the level and number of enemy powerhouses.


    In the alien battlefield, it was difficult to kill powerhouses of the same level of different races, and it was equally difficult to use greater strength to bully weaker alien lives.


    One reason for this was the existence of this detection gem.


    A seventh-rank evolver who wanted to disguise himself as a sixth-rank and then ughter weaker alien lives among the sixth-rank evolvers, basically couldn''t do it.


    Because the majority of seventh-rank evolvers couldn''t escape the detection of this gem.


    "Captain, there''s only one person in the spaceship, and the aura hasn''t reached the seventh rank yet."


    The ck-skinned Abyssal n member opened his eyes and spoke.


    "As long as it''s not seventh rank, it''s fine."


    Captain Weiqingnodded slightly.


    The few of them were all peak sixth-rank powers, and he, Weiqing, was the peak among the peak of the sixth rank. With theirbined strength, it wouldn''t be difficult to capture a human sixth-rank evolver.


    Lin Yuan piloted the spaceship into the alien battlefield, exceptionally careful, and didn''t even use wormhole travel.


    In the alien battlefield, spatial fluctuations were obvious, making it impossible to use wormhole travel urately.


    "Hopefully, we won''t encounter any aliens. I''m not interested in aliens."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Fighting against aliens, even against the weakest aliens, There was a risk of overturning.


    Lin Yuan''s main purpose for entering the alien battlefield this time was to go to the permanent spatial rift andprehend the spatial rules emanating from it.


    To quicklyprehend the remaining basic spatial models and open up the seventh-rank section of martial arts, fully entering the realm of the seventh rank.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan''s face suddenly changed.


    In that instant just now, he sensed a subtle fluctuation pass over the spaceship.


    "Are there aliens?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression turned serious.


    Just as he was about to control the spaceship to slow down.


    Suddenly.


    A terrifying energy fluctuation descended.


    The spaceship Lin Yuan was riding in exploded directly.


    Whoosh.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared not far away.


    At the same time.


    Several powerful members of the ck Abyss n immediately surrounded him.


    "Pretty strong."


    ck Abyss n Captain Weiqingstared at Lin Yuan.


    With that blow just now, piercing through the spaceship, he originally thought that Lin Yuan would at least suffer some injuries.


    But now, it seemed that the other party''s strength was even higher than their estimates.


    However, Captain Weiqingdidn''t mind. Through that blow just now, he had already determined that Lin Yuan was not a seventh-rank evolver.


    Since that''s the case.


    Then it''s simple.


    "Aliens?"


    Lin Yuan looked around at the ck Abyss n members who wereing over.


    "They don''t want to kill me?"


    Lin Yuan looked thoughtful, sensing the strength of these several ck Abyss n members. If they really didn''t hold back, it definitely wouldn''t be as simple as just now.


    "Human."


    "If you want to live, just listen to us."


    A ck Abyss n member spoke, and at this point, they believed they had the upper hand.


    "How can I survive?"


    Lin Yuan''s mind moved slightly, following the other party''s words.


    Normally, on the alien battlefield, when humans and ck Abyss n members meet, they wouldn''t waste time talking and would directly start fighting.


    Humans could obtain the treasures of the ck Abyss n members by killing them, as well as merit point rewards.


    ck Abyss n members could also obtain rewards from their own ns by killing humans, and could even receive rewards from the insect race.


    So.


    Unless there were other purposes.


    Otherwise, the two major groups would definitely start fighting as soon as they met.


    "It''s very simple."


    "You first give up resistance."


    Another ck Abyss n member began to approach.


    "You have to promise to let me go," Lin Yuan said in a low voice.


    "Naturally."


    A smile appeared on the face of the approaching ck Abyss n member.


    The expressions of the other ck Abyss n members were tinged with mockery.


    In the alien wars, to actually believe the promises of aliens, this human evolver was probably participating in a war for the first time.


    In the next moment.


    Lin Yuan disappeared from where he stood.


    At the same time, within thousands of miles, the air was filled with the true sun''s fire, and the terrifying heat began to burn everything.


    "Not good."


    Several ck Abyss n members were greatly shocked.


    The true sun''s fire pervading every inch of the air was extremely powerful. The ck Abyss n member who had just prepared to approach Lin Yuan felt his flesh and blood begin to burn.


    Boom.


    Just as this ck Abyss n member was about to retreat.


    A right hand made of true sun''s fire pierced through him, the terrifying power of the true fire exploded, and this ck Abyss n member was directly burned into nothingness.


    The true sun''s fire gathered.


    And transformed back into Lin Yuan''s figure.


    "Quickly leave."


    "This human evolver should be a top genius of the human civilization, not something an ordinary peak sixth-rank canpare to."


    "Damn it, with his strength, if he had just shown a little, we wouldn''t have taken the initiative to attack. It was intentional, deliberately attracting us to approach."


    The remaining ck Abyss n members'' expressions were grim when Lin Yuan unleashed the true sun''s fire domain, covering thousands of miles around.


    They realized that something was wrong.


    Mastering domain power as a sixth-rank evolver was not difficult, but theplete domination of the domain filled with true sun''s fire was simply unthinkable for them.


    Boom.


    Several ck Abyss n members tried to retreat and break free from the suppression of the sun domain, but it was already toote.


    Lin Yuan''s figure disappeared again.


    Turning into the pervasive power of the sun.


    In an instant, it condensed in front of one of the ck Abyss n members.


    "Captain, save me."


    This ck Abyss n member onlysted for a moment.


    And was also burned into nothingness by the true sun''s fire.


    "I..."


    Next, thest ck Abyss n member showed a look of unwillingness, and then his flesh and soul began to burn.


    As a life from the cosmic secret realm ck Abyss, he had to go through countlesspetitions from a young age, It was not easy to get out of the ck Abyss. Originally, he thought he would shine in the alien battlefield, break through to the seventh rank, and then return to the ck Abyss to dominate.


    But now, everything was impossible.


    Lin Yuan casually killed this ck Abyss n member.


    Lin Yuan looked at thest ck Abyss n member.


    ording to the expressions of the ck Abyss n members just now, this ck Abyss n member should be the captain or leader.


    When Lin Yuan ughtered the previous ck Abyss n members, this ck Abyss n member did not make any moves to help his n members.


    Instead, he looked on coldly as his n members died.


    "Impressive."


    Captain Weiqing looked at Lin Yuan.


    Even though he was in the domain of the true sun''s fire, he showed no fear. The true sun''s fire, which could burn a peak sixth-rank powerhouse into nothingness, quickly dissipated within a few feet of his body.


    The reason he didn''t make a move against the other ck Abyss n members just now was simply to let his own n members test Lin Yuan''s strength.


    Competition among the ck Abyss n was fierce, especially after encountering the cosmic environment, every ck Abyss n member had fought their way out of countless peers.


    "But now, you can die."


    Captain Weiqing''s expression revealed cruelty.


    The ck Abyss n had joined the Insect Race Grand Alliance, so as long as they met the conditions, they could directly receive the Insect Race''s rewards.


    Among them was the condition to kill the top genius evolvers of the human civilization alliance.


    A top human civilization sixth-rank evolver''s value was even higher than that of an ordinary seventh-rank evolver.


    "Gather."


    Captain Weiqingthought he had figured out Lin Yuan''s details. What the other party relied on was nothing more than the domain of the true sun''s fire and the ability to turn flesh into true sun''s fire.


    Hum.


    A wave began to spread from Captain Weiqingas the center, spreading in all directions.


    Wherever the wave passed, the domain of the true sun''s fire began to copse, and a stronger domain power began to forcefully expel and suppress the domain of the true sun''s fire.


    "Interesting."


    Lin Yuan''s figure disappeared again.


    "It''s useless."


    "Our ck Abyss domain can iste everything, you can''te in."


    Captain Weiqingwas about to speak.


    In the next moment.


    A trace of spatial fluctuations appeared.


    Lin Yuan seemed to teleport directly to Captain Weiqing''s side.


    "This?"


    Captain Weiqing''s eyes widened. At this moment, Lin Yuan''s control of spatial rules and the use of strengthpletely exceeded the limit of a sixth-rank evolver, reaching the level of a seventh rank.


    Simply put, although Lin Yuan still relied on the power of a sixth-rank evolver, his understanding of the essence of power was no different from that of a seventh-rank, and any casual strike could crush any sixth-rank.


    Captain Weiqing''s consciousness began to blur. At this moment, he suddenly felt a certain kind of frustration. You, a seventh-rank powerhouse, disguised as a sixth rank, isn''t this bullying?


    Captain Weiqing''s flesh and soul were burned into nothingness, turning into the purest essence of power, and then pouring into Lin Yuan''s body.


    "Storage ring."


    Lin Yuan stretched out his right hand, and Captain Weiqing''s storage ring fell into his hand.


    Just now, when he killed the other ck Abyss n members, Lin Yuan also casually took their storage rings.


    As for the flesh and soul, they were all burned into the purest essence of power by the true sun''s fire, and then became nourishment for the Yang Spirit''s soul.


    "Are there any other ck Abyss n members left?"


    Lin Yuan slightly closed his eyes, feeling the expanding and pervading sensation. After confirming that there were no lives within tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of miles, he breathed a sigh of relief.


    "Everything was recorded just now, right?"


    Lin Yuanmunicated with the intelligent assistant telepathically. Human evolvers would receive corresponding rewards for killing aliens on the alien battlefield.


    But how could one prove that they killed the aliens? That was done through the recording software installed by the three goddesses.


    All that was needed was to record the process of battle and killing, and then, upon reaching the gathering ce of humans on the battlefield, upload the recorded video to the three goddesses. After they reviewed it, the number of merit points would be determined.


    That''s right.


    Due to various factors such as spatial fluctuations, many ces on the alien battlefield couldn''t connect to the three goddesses. Only by leaving the battlefield or being in a gathering ce of humans on the battlefield could one reconnect to the goddesses.


    "However, why didn''t those aliens attack me just now?"


    Lin Yuannded on the ground and furrowed his brow in thought.


    The reason those ck Abyss n members didn''t immediately attack was because they wanted Lin Yuan to do something for them.


    And whatever that thing was, the ck Abyss n couldn''t do it, only Lin Yuan could. Lin Yuan''s mind stirred.


    He began to carefully search the surroundings.


    Half a dayter.


    Lin Yuan arrived at a valley.


    "Is this just an entrance to some space?"


    Lin Yuan observed carefully. "Judging by its use of spatial rules, it shoulde from a human evolver."


    "I see."


    Lin Yuan suddenly realized.


    Before heading to the alien battlefield, Lin Yuan naturally wouldn''t be unprepared. He was aware of many opportunities on the battlefield.


    Among them, one type of opportunity was treasures left behind by predecessors.


    Since it was impossible to connect with the three goddesses in the alien battlefield in real-time.


    Many powerful evolvers, when critically injured and unable to heal, often left their treasures behind in a certain ce before dying.


    To ensure that these treasures wouldn''t fall into the hands of aliens, a backdoor would generally be left, which only human evolvers could ess without being targeted.


    "Judging by the spatial fluctuations, this entrance to space has existed for at least tens of thousands of years. It hasn''t copsed for such a long time, so the internal space still exists, and its owner''s realm is estimated to be at the eighth rank."


    Lin Yuan spected in his mind.


    "An eighth-rank evolver''s legacy?"


    Lin Yuan''s anticipation rose immediately. Judging by the situation of the spatial entrance, the treasures inside should still be there. Otherwise, if the treasure was taken away, many arrangements would have been taken away as well, and this spatial entrance would have copsed long ago.


    "The spatial entrance."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts turned.


    The spatial entrance connected to a small space, which was created by a certain evolver.


    At the seventh rank of evolution, one gradually begins toprehend spatial rules. By using spatial power, one can open up a small space.


    In the Immortal world, the top-tier technique of the Daoist Immortal Sect, "World in the Sleeve", was a simr application. However, the sleeve space opened by "World in the Sleeve" could only be maintained for a short time.


    But the small spaces opened by seventh and eighth rank evolvers couldst longer, and even if the owner died, it wouldn''t copse for a long time.


    "Let''s go in and take a look."


    Lin Yuan contemted for a moment. After all, this was just one of his avatars. Even if something really happened, his main body could quickly condense.


    It wasn''t much of a risk.


    Besides, this spatial entrance was left by humans, so as long as Lin Yuan revealed his human identity, there shouldn''t be any problem.


    "What''s this?"


    Lin Yuan took a step forward, entered the spatial entrance, and looked ahead, his expression changing slightly.

    Chapter 181


    Inside the spatial entrance.


    It was a vast ''grasnd''.


    A gentle breeze blew, andrge patches of ''green grass'' swayed.


    However, upon closer inspection, one would find that each ''green grass'' wasposed of the ultimate power of space.


    The moment Lin Yuan entered.


    Countless ''green grasses'' swayed, and a terrifying spatial storm quickly formed.


    "This..." Lin Yuan''s expression was unsightly. Even an ordinary Seventh Rank Evolver wouldn''t survive this level of spatial storm.


    "I''m human!"


    Lin Yuan quickly released the aura of his battlefield pass.The battlefield pass, made by three goddesses, cannot be imitated by foreigners, and is an important proof of being a member of the human race.


    Buzz.


    With the aura of the human race''s battlefield pass spreading.


    The almost formed spatial storm quickly began to dissipate.


    The next moment.


    The scenery around began to change.


    Lin Yuan arrived at the top of a mountain peak.


    A cold, ck-haired man stood with his back to Lin Yuan, overlooking the scenery below.


    "Is he the master of this small space?"


    Lin Yuan cautiously appraised the back of the cold man, silently thinking to himself.


    With Lin Yuan''s insight, he could judge that the cold man in front of him was just a remnant of power. As for his original body, he should have died long ago, otherwise he wouldn''t have stayed here all the time.


    Seventh and Eighth Rank Evolvers possess strong essence of life. Even if their bodies die, their lingering obsession and power can exist for a long time.


    "You should have already figured out that my original self died a long time ago, and now I am just a remnant of obsession."


    The cold man spoke with his back to Lin Yuan.


    "How many years has it been in the Star Sea Calendar?"


    The cold man continued.


    The Star Sea Calendar is the standard way of recording time in human civilization.


    "2 112 645 years in the Star Sea Calendar."


    Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan immediately replied.


    "So long has passed." The mood of the cold man changed slightly.


    "My name is ''Ouyin''. Since you are a member of the human race, you should have heard of me." After a moment of silence, the cold man said.


    "Ouyin? Eighth Rank Evolver ''Ouyin''?"


    Lin Yuan''s heart moved slightly. In the era of interster travel, information became extremely easy to obtain. Unless it was some confidential information, most of it could be found on thework.


    And Ouyin, an Eighth Rank Evolver, was an independent Evolver active in the Star Sea Calendar for over nine hundred thousand years.


    What is an independent Evolver? They don''t join any forces, theye and go on their own.


    ording to the records of human civilization in the universe, Ouyin''sst known location was roughly in the southeastern region of human civilization.


    Unexpectedly, he came to an alien battlefield and fell here.


    "Designated as Zone C24763 Alien Battlefield, it''s just a small alien battlefield. Although I, Ouyin, may not beparable to those top Eighth Ranks, I am not weak. It''s just that I didn''t expect to encounter Hei Yuan * Qingyu in this alien battlefield."


    Ouyin chuckled lightly, with a hint of mockery.


    "Hei Yuan * Qingyu?"


    Lin Yuan''s face changed.


    Those who can have Hei Yuan as their surname are basically absolute nobles in the ck Abyss n. (Hei Yuan means ck Abyss)


    And Hei Yuan * Qingyu, as far as Lin Yuan knows, is already one of the top ten figures in the ck Abyss n.


    "Hei Yuan * Qingyu has long since reached the Eighth Rank, specializing in soul attacks. Just one strike caused my soul to copse by more than half. If I hadn''t activated some secret method to save my life, I wouldn''t have been able to escape even if I didn''t leave this small space."


    The cold man said.


    "Even if I escape, I won''t be able to hold on for too long. I can''t contact the Goddess on the battlefield. I can only rely on myst bit of strength to open up a small space and set up some traps."


    The cold man''s tone was calm.


    Lin Yuan heard this, silent.


    Even Eighth Rank powerhouses have differences in strength. Hei Yuan * Qingyu is definitely the strongest part of the Eighth Rank, far surpassing ordinary Eighth Rank powerhouses.


    The Red Kun Star Lord is probably also among the top ranks of the Eighth Rank. Its main body is the Star Kun of the Star Sea, a pinnacle bloodline of the universe. As an Eighth Rank, it should not be much weaker than Hei Yuan * Qingyu.


    "Alright, let''s not talk about these nonsense."


    The cold man chuckled, "It has been so many years, you are the first member of the human race to enter this small space, so naturally, all the treasures I left behind belong to you."


    "In my life, I am used to enjoying, and I haven''t left many treasures. The remaining treasures include an Eighth Rank defensive armor, an Eighth Rank soul defense weapon, several Seventh and Sixth Rank weapons, a thousand units of universal crystals, a special life essence potion containing the bloodline essence of three ice wolves. The remaining treasures are of lower value. You can see for yourselfter."


    "Of course, that Eighth Rank soul defense weapon, under the attack of Hei Yuan * Qingyu, is in a severely shattered state. However, soul defense weapons are always precious. Even if they are severely damaged, they can easily exchange for several weapons of the same level."


    Lin Yuan couldn''t help but hold his breath.


    The treasures mentioned by the cold man were extremely precious even for Eighth Rank powerhouses, especially the Eighth Rank soul defense weapon, which was priceless.


    As for universal crystals, they are raw materials for making universal coins, which can be used directly as ''currency'' for transactions with other powerhouses.


    1,000 units of universal crystals are roughly equivalent to 100 billion universal coins.


    And the exchange rate between universal coins and the currency of the Human Civilization Alliance is as high as one to ten thousand.


    There are also three essences of ice wolf bloodline potions. Ice wolves are special creatures deep in the universe. When they reach adulthood, they are at the Fourth Rank. Their bloodline essence can be fully integrated into the offspring, easily creating a lineage of powerful evolvers.


    Such essences of bloodline potions from special creatures are also considered raremodities in human civilization. Once they appear, they are quickly snapped up.


    To produce such an essence of bloodline potion, one would wonder how much blood from ice wolves needs to be drained.


    "All of these are yours."


    The cold man still had his back to Lin Yuan.


    "Thank you, senior."


    Lin Yuan''s expression was solemn as he spoke earnestly.


    Although it''s true that any member of the human race who discovers this space entrance and enters will receive gifts from the cold man.


    But Lin Yuan did indeed receive a great benefit.


    "I wonder if senior has any tasks for junior?"


    Lin Yuan asked tentatively.


    "What tasks?"


    The cold man was slightly startled, then smiled, "I''ve been dead for so long, I don''t have any old friends, so how could there be any tasks."


    Boom.


    Just then.


    The small space where Lin Yuan was located began to shake.


    "You should leave quickly."


    "This small space is about to copse."


    The cold man raised his right hand.


    A stream of light flew out and fell into Lin Yuan''s hand.


    It was a storage bracelet.


    Inside were many treasures owned by the cold man, ''Ouyin''.


    "Yes."


    Lin Yuan took the storage bracelet and immediately flew towards the entrance.


    Ouyin, the cold man, looked at Lin Yuan''s departing figure, and his body began to disintegrate rapidly.


    "Star of Hope, Star of Crescent."


    Ouyin muttered softly, and the next moment hepletely disintegrated.


    Red Kun Main Star.


    Thirteenth mountain peak halls.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    Regarding the experience of the Yang Spirit, Lin Yuan naturally ''synced'' with it and knew everything. They share the same consciousness, and their perspectives can be switched at any time.


    "The alien battlefield is full of dangers. Except for the strongest, no one can guarantee that they won''t die."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Ouyin''s experience as an Eighth Rank Evolver made him vignt.


    Even in a small alien battlefield like Zone C24763, it is possible for Eighth Rank Evolvers to stumble.


    "But the Human civilization now is much better than before."


    Lin Yuan''s expression was slightly sentimental.


    During the period when Ouyin was alive, the war between the Human Civilization Alliance and many neighboring alien races was quite difficult, and various aspects, including reserves, seemed inadequate.


    The most obvious thing was that during that time, the technique of creating avatars was extremely rare, even Eighth Rank Evolvers like Ouyin hadn''t cultivated a single avatar.


    Unlike now, just the avatar techniques recorded by the Red Kun lineage alone numbered over ten.


    Although cultivating avatars requires sacrificing a small part of one''s soul and not every evolver is suitable for cultivating avatars.


    But it''s much better than tens of thousands of years ago.


    "Anyway."


    "Continue cultivating."


    After a moment of sentiment, Lin Yuan plunged back intoprehending the spatial models.


    During his cultivation, Lin Yuan asionally connects to the virtual world tomunicate with other evolvers.


    The collision of different viewpoints and cognitions,bined with the deduction of Unrivaled Insight, often provides unexpected help to Lin Yuan.


    "This person''s insights should be no less than that of my teacher."


    Lin Yuan entered the circle of founders in the virtual world and chatted with a founder named ''Tai A'' for a while, silently thinking.


    Lin Yuan and this ''Tai A'' met under a post called ''Is it better toprehend one rule deeply or multiple rules superficially'' posted by the founder forum twenty-three thousand years ago.


    Lin Yuan oftenmunicates with the other party and vaguely feels that this ''Tai A'' has a broad vision.


    However, despite searching on the virtual worldwork, Lin Yuan did not find any information rted to ''Tai A''.


    While Lin Yuan was contemting.


    The founder named ''Tai A'' sent another message.


    "Of the various evolution paths of human civilization, which Rank do you think is the most important?"


    After browsing through this message, Lin Yuan thoughtfully.


    The various Ranks of the martial evolution path from the First Rank to the Sixth Rank, and even the Seventh RankLin Yuan is currently deducing, shed through his mind.


    "The Seventh Rank."


    After thinking for a while, Lin Yuan gave an answer.


    With more and more basic spatial models beingprehended.


    Lin Yuan has faintly sensed the specific direction of the Seventh Rankchapter of martial arts.


    Once Lin Yuan truly opens up the Seventh Rank chapter, the transformation of himself will far surpass the previous six Ranks.


    "It''s almost time toe back, right?"


    After replying to ''Tai A''s'' message, Lin Yuan swept his gaze in the direction of the alien battlefield.


    ording to Lin Yuan''s n, he sent his Yang Spirit to the alien battlefield toprehend the rules emanating from the spatial fluctuations.


    But ns can''t keep up with changes.


    Lin Yuan, who intended to stay away from contact with aliens, unexpectedly gained the legacy of an Eighth Rank Evolver.


    Even in a medium-sized alien battlefield, obtaining the treasure legacy of an Eighth Rank powerhouse is extremely rare.


    Lin Yuan didn''t even think about it.


    Because the probability was too low.


    But since it happened, Lin Yuan could only reluctantly ept it.


    In this situation, leaving the legacy of the Eighth Rank Evolver Ouyin on the Yang Spirit, and then letting the Yang Spirit stay in the perilous alien battlefield.


    Lin Yuan couldn''t sleep.


    If the Yang Spirit had fallen, but Lin Yuan didn''t care; it would only take some time to reassemble.


    However, if he were to lose the legacy of the Eighth Rank Evolver along with the fall of the Yang Spirit, including the Eighth Rank armor, the Eighth Rank soul defense weapon, and the 1,000 units of universal crystals, Lin Yuan estimated that he would feel ufortable for a long time.


    So, after the departure of the Yang Spirit from that small space, Lin Yuan instructed him toe back and leave many treasures with him before continuing to the alien battlefield.


    It would only take a little over a month for the round trip, which Lin Yuan could afford.


    In the endless distance, there was a huge research.


    The schr Tai A watched the rapidly shingplex characters on the screen in front of him.


    After a moment.


    A hint of fatigue appeared on Tai A''s face.


    "Let''s see if that question has been answered."


    Tai A decided to take a break and entered the circle of founders in the virtual world, opening the chat list with Lin Yuan.


    "Seventh Rank?"


    Tai A saw Lin Yuan''s reply and smiled.


    "Hahaha, you''re definitely wrong this time."


    "The various Ranks divided in the evolution paths of human civilization, undoubtedly, the most important is the Eighth Rank."


    "To reach the Eighth Rank, one must master the ''Boundary Opening'' method."


    "Opening up a world within oneself."


    "Only by establishing a world as the foundation can one continue to ascend; otherwise, it''s difficult to progress further with just the physical body."


    Tai A looked pleased, but also somewhat puzzled.


    He remembered that Lin Yuan should have grasped the rudiments of the ''Boundary Opening'' method, with his core viewpoint being the ''Boundary Opening'' method.


    If that''s the case.


    Even if Lin Yuan didn''t know the ''Boundary Opening'' method, he should understand the huge gap between the Seventh and Eighth Ranks. So why would he still think the Seventh Rank is the most important?


    "It shouldn''t be like this?"


    "Why make such a mistake?"


    Tai A stroked his chin.


    "Why the Seventh Rank?"


    Tai A pondered for a moment, not immediately ''mocking'' Lin Yuan, but instead sending a message to inquire.


    Red Kun Main Star.


    Lin Yuan had just prepared to continue cultivating.


    Then he received a question from the founder ''Tai A'' again.


    "Why the Seventh Rank?"


    Lin Yuan blinked.


    He believed the Seventh Rank was the most important solely based on the martial evolution path.


    Because in Lin Yuan''s conception, with the addition of space rules, the Yin, Yang, Taiji, plus space rules, would undergo the greatest transformation, with the Taiji domain evolving into a Taiji miniature world.


    So Lin Yuan thought the Seventh Rankwas the most important.


    "Containing ten thousand paths in one path, controlling ten thousand paths, and integrating space rules."


    Lin Yuan casually mentioned some of the theoretical aspects of the Seventh Rankchapter in the martial evolution path.


    These theories were all deduced by Lin Yuan during these days. Even if others knew about them, it would be meaningless. Without the research foundation that Lin Yuan had, it would be difficult for outsiders to delve into these theories deeply.


    In the endless distance, there was a huge research.


    Tai A stared at the conversation box, patiently waiting.


    He decided that no matter what response Lin Yuan gaveter, he would use the method of boundary opening to make him understand the unquestionable importance of the Eighth Rank.


    Drip¡ª


    A message arrived.


    Tai A immediately watched it.


    "This?"


    Tai A was a bit stunned.


    Many of the words he had prepared were swallowed back.


    Because the message Lin Yuan sent to him was a kind of ''Boundary Opening'' method.


    However¡ª


    Why could he use the ''Boundary Opening'' method at the Seventh Rank?


    Tai A found it hard to believe.


    Almost in an instant, Tai A began to calcte.


    Countless characters shed in his eyes as he tried to demonstrate the possibility of sess based on the theories Lin Yuan sent him.


    Over an hourter.


    Tai A closed his eyes.


    After a long while, Tai A opened his eyes.


    "It does seem likely to seed."


    Tai A''s thoughts converged, his expression serious, as he replied to Lin Yuan in the conversation box:


    "Who exactly are you, the great evolutionary schr?"

    Chapter 182


    "An eighth-rank soul defense treasure."


    Lin Yuan''s gaze grew slightly intense.


    Among all the treasures, soul defense treasures were undoubtedly the most precious kind. The soul carries the true spirit of consciousness, bearing the essence of life itself.


    For high-rank evolvers, the destruction of the physical body doesn''t equate to death. However, any issues with the soul directly affect the consciousness and true spirit.


    Of all the treasures left behind by Evolver Ouyin, the most precious was undoubtedly this one. In fact, Lin Yuan had encountered soul defense treasures before.


    The championship reward of the Cann Star Arena Tournament included a soul defense treasure. However, that soul defense treasure was only of the third or fourth rank, nothingpared to the eighth-rank soul defense treasure left by Ouyin.


    "Is it in the shape of a droplet?"


    Lin Yuan took out the soul defense treasure. It was a drop of sky-blue liquid, about the size of a thumb. Upon closer inspection, fine cracks could be seen appearing on the surface of the droplet.


    "Senior Ouyin had an eighth-rank armor for defending the body and an eighth-rank droplet for safeguarding the soul, yet he still perished, falling to an attack on his soul from the ck Abyss n''s Qingyu.""Even this soul droplet was almost prated."


    Lin Yuan pondered silently.


    Although soul defense treasures could protect the soul, it didn''t mean they were foolproof. Even an eighth-rank soul defense treasure had its limits. Once surpassed, soul attacks could pierce through the treasure and directly assault the soul itself.


    "Could that Qingyu from the ck Abyss n, at the eighth rank, possess the ability to breach the protection of an eighth-rank soul defense treasure?"


    Lin Yuan wondered.


    The designation of "eighth rank" for soul defense treasures indicated their ability to withstand the majority of eighth-rank soul attacks.


    "Those aliens."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    While humanity held an advantage in the war against the aliens, it was still only an advantage. Numerous strong individuals on the human side still perished.


    Qingyu was merely from the ck Abyss n. If it were on battlefields against pinnacle ns like the Insect n, the casualties on the human side would be even greater.


    "This droplet is damaged."


    Lin Yuan reached out to touch the sky-blue droplet.


    However, even if it was damaged, it was still an eighth-rank soul defense treasure. If Lin Yuan wished, he could easily exchange it for four or five pieces of eighth-rank armor like those left by Ouyin.


    Most of the wealth of Evolver Ouyin was probably invested in this defense droplet.


    "I should find my teacher when I have time and see if he can repair it."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. Since it was broken, it could certainly be fixed. However, repairing an eighth-rank soul defense treasure would depend on whether Red Kun Star Lord had the means.


    As for whether revealing that he had inherited Ouyin''s legacy would lead to any repercussions, even if it was exposed, what could happen?


    Ouyin had perished over a million years ago, and as an indipendent evolver, Lin Yuan, as one of the Thirteen Peaks Masters of the Red Kun Lineage, had no one to answer to.


    Moreover, the teacher, Red Kun Star Lord, belonged to the same tier of strength as Qingyu from the ck Abyss n a million years ago. He probably wouldn''t be interested in a broken soul droplet.


    "Special lifeblood essence elixir."


    Lin Yuan took out a transparent test tube containing a viscous purple liquid.


    This kind of special lifeblood essence elixir had no use for individual evolvers. Its greatest effecty in imnting it into the bloodlines of offspring to create a powerful evolver lineage.


    Such blood essence elixirs were much superior to those left by Rank-6 Star-Falling Level Evolvers. They were purer, increased the likelihood of awakening bloodlines in descendants, and had higher limits.


    "In the future, I can also use this blood essence elixir to create a powerful evolver lineage for the purpose of fostering influence."


    Lin Yuan had a n in mind. Even if he didn''t intend to create his own evolver lineage, he could sell it at any time if needed.


    After all, such special lifeblood essence was scarce, and the elixir that resulted from drawing the essence of who-knows-how-many special life forms would only be rarer in the future.


    Apart from the wealth and treasures left behind by Evolver Ouyin, Lin Yuan had also gained a considerable amount of rewards from killing several strong members of the ck Abyss n.


    However,pared to Ouyin, it was naturally far less. Those strong members of the ck Abyss n who dared to venture onto the battlefield would undoubtedly leave most of their wealth and treasures in their homnd. What they carried were mainly weapons needed for battle.


    "Upload thebat kill video."


    Lin Yuan directly uploaded the video of himself killing those five members of the ck Abyss n to the Free Goddess.


    This was also important evidence for the Free Goddess to determine whether to award merit points. The video recording function originated from the Three Goddesses, making it impossible for outsiders to tamper with or alter the videos.


    Moreover, the video''s perspective included oneself, eliminating the possibility of evaders killing members of the same n and looting their videos to pass them off as their own kills.


    "Ding¡ª"


    "The authenticity of the video is confirmed, and the facts are verified. After judgment, it is worth five thousand merit points."


    The cold and murderous voice of the Free Goddess resounded.


    "Five thousand merit points."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    While five thousand merit points seemed like a lot, it wasn''t even enough to promote from a first-tier citizen to a third-tier citizen.


    Promoting from a first-tier citizen to a second-tier citizen required one thousand merit points, and from a second-tier citizen to a third-tier citizen required five thousand merit points.


    However, these five thousand merit points required killing five members of the ck Abyss n.


    The concept of Rank-6 aliens was akin to Star-Falling Level Evolvers, but there were six of them at once.


    "Researcher C24763 Alien Battlefield."


    Lin Yuan''s Yin Spirit rode on a spaceship, swiftly advancing in a certain direction.


    "Such marvelous spatial fluctuations."


    Lin Yuan took a light breath, feeling the constantly undting spatial forces from all directions, his mind exceptionally pleased.


    [Your Insight is unrivaled, sensing spatial fluctuations, further deepening your understanding of spatial rules.]


    [Your Insight is unrivaled, sensing spatial fluctuations, further deepening your understanding of spatial rules.]


    [Your Insight is unrivaled, sensing spatial fluctuations, further deepening your understanding of spatial rules.]


    The Yin Spirit shares consciousness with Lin Yuan and naturally possesses Unrivaled Insight. At this moment, entering the alien battlefield, almost every moment deepens its understanding and perception of spatial rules.


    "So far, I haven''t encountered any aliens."


    Lin Yuan nced around and shook his head slightly.


    This was the norm in alien battlefields. Except for certain special periods, the vast majority of the time, one wouldn''t encounter any aliens.


    If one wanted to find aliens, they would need to go to the central part of the battlefield, where powerful armies of humans and the ck Abyss n gathered, and where war could erupt at any moment.


    Lin Yuan, who had just entered the battlefield not long ago and encountered several strong members of the ck Abyss n, even inheriting the legacy of a Rank-8 human evolver, that was abnormal and could be counted as a major opportunity.


    "That should be the location of the permanent spatial rift in this battlefield."


    Lin Yuan''s gaze shifted towards a direction.


    He faintly sensed extremely violent spatial forces surging there.


    "The main world is nearly perfect, with a sturdy space that is almost indestructible. Even if one forcibly tears open the space with their understanding of spatialws, the rift will quickly recover."


    "As for the formation of a permanent spatial rift..."


    Lin Yuan couldn''t quite understand the reason for the formation of a permanent spatial rift and could only attribute it to the overwhelming power of the strongest beings.


    "ording to the information, there are humans and ck Abyss n strongholds guarding beside that permanent spatial rift. To approach andprehend it, one must obtain the consent of either the humans or the ck Abyss n."


    This wouldn''t be difficult for Lin Yuan. When the time came, he would only need to reveal his identity as a human to pass through.


    In fact, many evolvers entered the alien battlefield toprehend spatial rules, and it was the same for the ck Abyss n. Most strong individuals didn''t possess Lin Yuan''s terrifying Insight, so they couldn''t break through just by meditating. They could only rely on entering such dangerous ces and attempting to advance further.


    Red Kun Main Star.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    In front of him, strands of spatial power appeared, constantly converging and interweaving to form a mysterious spatial model.


    After who knew how long...


    A spatial model in the shape of a high tower formed. In an instant, with the high tower spatial model at its center, the surrounding space suddenly stabilized.


    "The 938th spatial model."


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.


    Among the 965 basic spatial models, each had its special use. For example, the high tower spatial model that Lin Yuan had just condensed had the effect of suppressing space, allowing him to condense the surrounding space within billions of miles and prohibiting the use of various spatial powers such as teleportation with a wave of his hand.


    "There are still twenty-seven basic spatial models left."


    With a slight movement of his mind, the high tower spatial model in front of him dissipated, and the surrounding space returned to normal.


    "In at most a month, I willpletelyprehend the basic spatial models."


    "By then, there will be no obstacles to opening the seventh-rank martial path, and I canpletely step into the seventh rank."


    Lin Yuan was quite satisfied.


    Of course, the reason why he couldprehend at such a rapid pace was mainly because the Yin Spirit, being in the alien battlefield, provided him with an equal understanding of spatialprehension. This allowed Lin Yuan to advance much faster inprehending the 965 basic spatial models.


    "Seventh-rankmartial path."


    Lin Yuan looked forward to it. In his n, this stage''s importance was beyond doubt. Opening up his own inner world within his body was the foundation.


    ording to the gains from Lin Yuan''sprehension of other paths of evolution, opening an inner world within the body would require at least breaking through to the eighth level during the sixth to seventh level transition.


    As for opening an inner world within the body during the transition from the sixth to the seventh level, in the more than two million years of Star Sea history, there were very few specific cases, and none were replicable major opportunities.


    Battlefield C24763.


    "Here we are."


    Lin Yuan maneuvered the spaceship to a halt.


    Not far away was a floating mountain range, winding for hundreds of thousands of miles, emanating a terrifying aura.


    The moment Lin Yuan approached, he voluntarily released the aura of the battlefield pass.


    Before long, a tall figure d in ck armor descended.


    "Brother, what''s your intention ining to this battlefield?"


    The man in ck armor approached, speaking warmly.


    Since Lin Yuan could release the aura of the battlefield pass, it proved that he belonged to the human race. The aliens couldn''t mimic the aura of the battlefield pass, not even those few strongest pinnacle ns could.


    "I''m nning to head to that permanent spatial rift andprehend the spatial rules."


    Lin Yuan immediately stated his purpose.


    It was obvious that the man in armor loved battling aliens and was now thinking of recruiting Lin Yuan.


    "Oh, I see."


    Disappointment shed across the man''s face.


    "Thene with me."


    The man in armor turned around and flew towards the floating mountain range behind him.


    Lin Yuan followed immediately.


    Soon, the two entered the floating mountains.


    "Half of the area near the permanent spatial rift is upied by the ck Abyss n. Be careful when you''re there and don''t get too immersed," the man in armor warned.


    In the alien battlefield, shes between humans and the ck Abyss n still retained some rationality. There were areas where fighting was implicitly prohibited, such as around the permanent spatial rift.


    Both human evolvers and strong members of the ck Abyss n went there toprehend spatial rules. Therefore, for tens of thousands of years, both sides tacitly agreed not to engage inbat there.


    But if someone thought that area was really safe, they would be foolish.


    That''s why the man in armor reminded Lin Yuan.


    "I understand," Lin Yuan nodded.


    He had made more than enough preparations beforeing.


    "Good."


    "Follow me."


    The man in armor led Lin Yuan to a teleportation area.


    From here, they could immediately arrive near the permanent spatial rift.


    Buzz!!


    The teleportation began.


    Lin Yuan felt the intense fluctuations of spatial power around him.


    When it finally settled down a bit, he found himself in another location.


    "There?"


    Lin Yuan looked up and saw a dark ''crack'' not far away.


    It was filled with hazy gray gas, with arge amount of spatial power surging inside, causing even the spatial rules to fluctuate constantly.


    "That''s the permanent spatial rift in this battlefield," the man in armor exined in a low voice as he looked in the same direction.


    "This permanent spatial rift was caused by a human evolver wielding an extremely powerful weapon, so it''s not veryrge."


    "Inrger alien battlefields, permanent spatial rifts created by stronger beings can reach hundreds of thousands, millions, or even billions of miles."


    "It''s said that suchrge spatial rifts often have traces of ''outsiders,'' and they''re extremely dangerous."


    The man in armor marveled as he introduced the rift.


    However, there was something the man in armor didn''t know.


    At this moment.


    Lin Yuan''s heart was not calm.


    Because as he gazed at the permanent spatial rift only about ten meters in size not far away, deep in his mind, the majestic and grand Gate of the Myriad Realms began to tremble slightly.

 Chapter 183

    Chapter 183


    The Gate of Myriad Realms.


    Lin Yuan''s expression couldn''t help but turn serious.


    The Gate of Myriad Realms in the depths of his mind was not physical but rather a true projection of the Gate of Myriad Realms.


    It was bound to Lin Yuan''s true consciousness.


    So whether it was Lin Yuan himself or his Yin and Yang spirits, they could ''see'' the Gate of Myriad Realms because all three shared the same consciousness.


    Simrly, when Lin Yuan traversed, his consciousness descended into other worlds, and the projection of the Gate of Myriad Realms would also appear in the minds of the carriers where Lin Yuan''s consciousness descended.


    After breaking through to the sixth rank, Lin Yuan obtained many pieces of information from within the Gate of Myriad Realms, including the location of the original Gate of Myriad Realms, which was in some mysterious ce.


    Currently, Lin Yuan''s strength was fundamentally unable to withstand the true Gate of Myriad Realms.


    However¡ªEven though it was just a negligible projection of the Gate of Myriad Realms, it carried an almost timeless significance, making it difficult for external forces to affect it.


    However, now.


    The Gate of Myriad Realms deep in Lin Yuan''s mind was actually trembling slightly?


    "What could be the reason?"


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts fluctuated.


    "Is it because of this permanent spatial crack?"


    Lin Yuan''s gaze once again turned towards a nearby spatial crack, about ten meters in size, emitting a faint grayish gas.


    The change in the Gate of Myriad Realms began when Lin Yuan saw this spatial crack.


    Just as Lin Yuan was pondering.


    A piece of information surged out from within the Gate of Myriad Realms.


    And Lin Yuan promptly epted it.


    "Hmm?"


    "The speed at which the Gate of Myriad Realms umtes ''Breaking Boundary Source Power'' has increased?"


    Lin Yuan was shaken.


    Since Lin Yuan became aware of the existence of the Gate of Myriad Realms, the speed at which it umted ''Breaking Boundary Source Power'' had never changed.


    Three hundred and thirty-three days to umte a strand of Breaking Boundary Source Power.


    And it didn''t speed up with Lin Yuan''s increase in strength.


    But now?


    "The current speed at which the Gate of Myriad Realms umtes Breaking Boundary Source Power has changed to three hundred and ten days?"


    Lin Yuan once again looked towards the nearby spatial crack.


    "So that''s it."


    Lin Yuan''s expression was pensive.


    What is Breaking Boundary Source Power? Lin Yuan had never thought about it clearly before, only feeling that the Gate of Myriad Realms required this kind of energy, which he had never heard of.


    Now it seemed to be rted to the fragmentation of the world.


    Here, the fragmentation was fundamental and irreparable.


    If it were just spatial fragmentation, during the fifth transmigration, when Lin Yuan spent thest few decades in the Immortal Path World, breaking through space and drifting in the chaos, theoretically, the speed at which the Gate of Myriad Realms umted ''Breaking Boundary Source Power'' should have increased.


    But in fact, it hadn''t.


    "A great opportunity."


    "This is my great opportunity."


    Lin Yuan was delighted. After understanding the reason for the tremor of the Gate of Myriad Realms, he realized what impact it would have on him.


    Is Breaking Boundary Source Power important? Certainly, it is important; it is the power source of the Gate of Myriad Realms.


    To some extent, as long as there is enough Breaking Boundary Source Power, Lin Yuan can go to any world he wants through the Gate of Myriad Realms.


    And bring back many treasures from other worlds unnoticed. What an incredible ability?


    "If I get closer, will the speed of umting ''Breaking Boundary Source Power'' increase?"


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts converged as he secretly pondered.


    At his current position, he was not far from the spatial crack, but not close either.


    "Alright."


    "In a ce like this, one must be careful."


    After the armored man roughly introduced Lin Yuan, he turned and left.


    Lin Yuan stood in ce for a while, then cautiously approached the spatial crack.


    "Treasure."


    "This alien battlefield is simply a treasure trove for me."


    At the main star of Red Kun, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, feeling the Gate of Myriad Realms deep in his mind, its speed of umting ''Breaking Boundary Source Power'' slightly increasing.


    His mood was unusually joyful.


    The alien battlefield was full of dangers, and human evolvers were at risk of falling at any time.


    Even the powerful Eighth-Rank Evolver, Ouyin, fell on an alien battlefield, and it was just a small-scale one.


    But for Lin Yuan.


    The alien battlefield was simply a treasure trove and a blessed ce.


    Ever since he dispatched his primordial spirit to the alien battlefield, Lin Yuan had been reaping rewards.


    Firstly, he gained insights into spatial rules.


    The fluctuations in the alien battlefield''s space were obvious, making it rtively easy toprehend spatial rules. By now, Lin Yuan had almost understood more than nine hundred basic spatial models.


    Secondly, he obtained the legacy of an Eighth-Rank Evolver.


    Those treasures might notpare to those of his teacher, the master of Red Kun, but they definitely surpassed those of a seasoned Seventh-Rank Peak Evolver who had umted wealth for tens of thousands of years.


    Especially the broken soul defense droplet, even ordinary Eighth-Rank Evolvers would be tempted.


    "The spatial fluctuations are bing more obvious."


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, sharing his perspective. As the Primordial Spirit of Yin continuously approached the spatial crack, numerous insights kept emerging.


    [Your insight is unparalleled, approaching the source of the shattered space, deepening your understanding of the essence of spatial rules.]


    [Your insight is unparalleled, approaching the source of the shattered space, deepening your understanding of the essence of spatial rules.]


    [Your insight is unparalleled, approaching the source of the shattered space, deepening your understanding of the essence of spatial rules.]


    Rustle.


    Lin Yuan raised his hand.


    Strands of spatial power coiled around.


    In an instant, the nine hundred and fifty-first spatial model took shape.


    "Wonderful."


    "So wonderful."


    "I didn''t realize space could be like this?"


    Lin Yuan lifted both hands, continuously manipting the spatial power, affecting the space around him.


    At this moment, in Lin Yuan''s vision, space flowed like water, and every move of his could create ripples in the flow.


    As the ripples spread, extending hundreds of thousands or even millions of miles away, constantly colliding and intertwining, eventually causing a spatial storm.


    And this.


    Just because Lin Yuan slightly manipted the spatial power.


    "This is it."


    The permanent spatial crack in the alien battlefield was not far away.


    Lin Yuan stopped approaching further.


    Through his continuous attempts just now, he found that this position could greatly increase the speed at which the Gate of Myriad Realms umted ''Breaking Boundary Source Power''.


    If he went further, the speed of umting ''Breaking Boundary Source Power'' by the Gate of Myriad Realms would not increase.


    Moreover, being too close to the spatial crack would affect hisprehension due to the turbulent spatial power it emitted.


    "Now, the speed at which the Gate of Myriad Realms umtes is..."


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes and carefully felt it.


    "Approximately two hundred and ny-eight days to umte a strand of ''Breaking Boundary Source Power''."


    Lin Yuan''s eyes lit up.


    Compared to the initial three hundred and thirty-three days, the speed of umting ''Breaking Boundary Source Power'' at two hundred and ny-eight days per strand had increased a bit.


    In the short term, this increase in speed might not be significant.


    But if stretched over time, it would be a considerable ie of ''Breaking Boundary Source Power''.


    With Lin Yuan''s strength, living for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years was easy. Under such a long timeline, the increased umtion speed would create a huge advantage like a snowball effect.


    And.


    The greatest impact of this increase in the speed of umting ''Breaking Boundary Source Power'' for Lin Yuan was not the increase in umtion speed.


    Instead, it showed Lin Yuan a second way to obtain ''Breaking Boundary Source Power''.


    Beforeing to the alien battlefield, Lin Yuan had always thought that ''Breaking Boundary Source Power'' could only be umted slowly at a rate of three hundred and thirty-three days per strand.


    But now.


    Lin Yuan knew that these permanent spatial cracks could increase the speed of umting ''Breaking Boundary Source Power''.


    From this, a conclusion could be drawn.


    If Lin Yuan were to go torger permanent spatial cracks, would the speed at which the Gate of Myriad Realms umted ''Breaking Boundary Source Power'' continue to increase?


    The spatial crack before him was only about ten meters long, but those in medium-sized andrge-scale alien battlefields might stretch for thousands or even millions of miles.


    Would the speed of umting ''Breaking Boundary Source Power'' by the Gate of Myriad Realms skyrocket near such spatial cracks?


    "Not in a hurry for now."


    "Everything can wait until I reach the Seventh Rank."


    Lin Yuan steadied himself, and with his deepprehension of spatial rules near the permanent spatial crack, his understanding of space was increasing at a terrifying speed.


    Almost every half day or so, he couldprehend a basic spatial model.


    At the current rate ofprehension, in five or six days at most, he wouldprehend nine hundred and sixty-five basic spatial models.


    Then.


    Lin Yuan could enter the Seventh Rank.


    This Seventh Rank was not the ordinary Seventh Rank.


    If it were just an ordinary Seventh Rank, Lin Yuan would have achieved it long ago after the Immortal Path World.


    But Lin Yuan was not satisfied with that kind of Seventh Rank, so he had been dying until now.


    The Seventh Rank Lin Yuan wanted to reach was one thatpletely matched martial arts, a perfect Seventh Rank.


    Time passed.


    In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.


    At the main star of Red Kun, in the grand hall of the Thirteen Peaks.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    Silently.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes.


    Strands of spatial power surged out.


    Quickly condensing into a pyramid-shaped spatial model.


    Buzz.


    With the formation of this spatial model.


    Lin Yuan''sprehension of space suddenly reached a kind ofpleteness.


    "Nine hundred and sixty-five spatial models."


    Lin Yuan''s eyes drooped, muttering to himself, "All understood."


    At this moment, the space around Lin Yuan seemed transparent in his eyes.


    Afterprehending all the basic spatial models, Lin Yuan''s understanding of spatial rules had reached a new height, and he had his own cognition of space.


    "This is it."


    "My martial arts Seventh Rank should be like this."


    "My path isplete."


    Lin Yuan''s spirits were high. With sufficient understanding of space and assisted by his unparalleled insight, he could almost effortlessly break through to the Seventh Rank.


    "Let''s begin."


    Lin Yuan didn''t hesitate much.


    He had long experience in breaking through to the Seventh Rank, coupled with such highprehension of space, he estimated that with the assistance of his unparalleled insight, breaking through to the Seventh Rank had a hundred percent certainty.


    "Start."


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes.


    The breath in his body began to slowly condense.


    Red Kun Main Star.


    Above, tens of millions of kilometers away, the space slightly twisted.


    The Red Kun Star Lord wore a crimson robe, hands behind his back, standing quietly there.


    Not far away, twelve figures stood in sequence, they were the twelve peak masters of Red Kun.


    Except for Lin Yuan, the youngest junior brother, all twelve peak masters were present, standing with respectful expressions.


    "Everyone is here."


    The Red Kun Star Lord swept his eyes over the twelve disciples.


    "Now, let me demonstrate for you the various applications of spatial rules."


    The Red Kun Star Lord said lightly.


    Although the virtual world could replicate almost everything from the outside world with near-perfect uracy, the replication of spatial rules still could not be perfect.


    So, every now and then, the Red Kun Star Lord would gather all the disciples and personally demonstrate the use of spatial power under the starry sky.


    "Teacher, junior brother hasn''t arrived yet."


    At this moment, the Fourth Peak Master, Zuo Ge, couldn''t help but speak.


    He had been looking around for a long time and found that among the twelve of them, junior brother Lin Yuan was not present.


    As soon as this was mentioned, the Fifth Peak Master, the Sixth Peak Master, the Seventh Peak Master, and other peak masters at the Sixth Rank all looked towards the Red Kun Star Lord.


    They also noticed this issue, but since the Red Kun Star Lord didn''t mention it, they didn''t dare to ask.


    "Junior brother?"


    The Red Kun Star Lord nced at the Fourth Peak Master, Zuo Ge, and the other peak masters who were still at the Sixth Rank.


    Most of what they were teaching now had already beenprehended by Lin Yuan.


    Last time, when he demonstrated the evolution of spatial models, the Red Kun Star Lord noticed Lin Yuan''sprehension of spatial rules.


    So this time, he didn''t specifically call for Lin Yuan, mainly to give some face to the Fourth Peak Master and the other nine peak masters at the Sixth Rank.


    It was quite abnormal for someone who had bowed to him as a teacher for so many years to be surpassed by the youngest junior brother.


    "Alright."


    "No more nonsense."


    The Red Kun Star Lord was toozy to exin.


    "Next, I will manifest the rules of space as much as possible, and you all should try your best to break them."


    After the Red Kun Star Lord finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the original location.


    This scene made the twelve peak masters on the scene nervous.


    Even the peak masters who had already reached the Seventh Rank, such as the Grand Peak Master, the Second Peak Master, and the Third Peak Master, had solemn expressions. The manifestation of the spatial rules mentioned by the Red Kun Star Lord was definitely not a good thing.


    Buzz.


    The next moment.


    The twelve peak masters found that the space around them began to distort.


    Their own figures became smaller and smaller, almost turning into subatomic particles.


    And above everyone''s heads, a huge creature appeared, a star sea kun, whose size was tens or hundreds of times that of a normalary lifeform.


    At this moment, with the twelve peak masters'' figures reduced to subatomic particles, that star sea kun appeared even more like a brilliant starry river, overlooking everyone from above.


    "This can''t go on."


    The twelve peak masters'' minds trembled, realizing that if they didn''t resist, their mental states would be destroyed, and they would definitely be scolded by their teacher again.


    So the twelve of them all exerted their full strength, trying to resist the star sea kun that seemed to be copsing from the sky.


    However, the next moment.


    There was no longer the brilliant star sea kun between heaven and earth, and the figures of the twelve peak masters returned to normal, and the twisted space quickly calmed down.


    However, the twelve peak masters dared not rx at all.


    Because at some point, their teacher, the Red Kun Star Lord, had already appeared beside them, standing behind everyone, looking down at the Red Kun Main Star below.


    As if observing someone.


    "Hmm?"


    The peak master at the peak of the Seventh Rank also noticed something.


    "This is the aura of breaking through to the Seventh Rank. Junior brother, junior brother has begun to break through to the Seventh Rank?"


    The Grand Peak Master muttered to himself, but his voice resonated in the ears of every peak master.


    "Breaking through to the Seventh Rank?"


    The Fourth Peak Master, Zuo Ge, was stunned, unable to believe it.


    The Red Kun Star Lord nced at the Fourth Peak Master, Zuo Ge, and the other peak masters, seemingly saying,


    "See that? Do you understand why I didn''t call junior brother over now?"


    The minds of the twelve peak masters were in a mess.

 Chapter 184

    Chapter 184


    "Is the junior brother about to break through to rank seven?"


    This was the first thought that surged in the minds of the twelve peak masters.


    For an evolver to break through major boundaries was like a stone dropped into water, causing ripples. Ordinary people or weaker evolvers might not perceive it, but it couldn''t be hidden from rank six or rank seven evolvers.


    When Lin Yuan broke through to rank six on Cann Star, themotion of his breakthrough was captured by the senior brother and the king of the Rat n.


    So, the twelve peak masters on Red Kun Main Star immediately sensed the aura of Lin Yuan''s breakthrough to rank sevening from the Thirteenth Mountain Peak.


    And they confirmed that the breakthrough aura originated from the junior apprentice brother.


    "How long has it been?"


    This was the second thought that crossed the minds of the twelve peak masters.


    It wasn''t easy to break through from rank six to rank seven. This was a major threshold and restraint. From the fourth peak master to the twelfth peak master, they were all still stuck at the peak of rank six. This showed how difficult it was.Among these nine peak masters at rank six, Lin Yuan''s talent was terrifying, and it was indeed more likely for him to advance to rank seven than them in the future. But didn''t that still take time? How long had it been since Lin Yuan broke through to rank six?


    This was simply unreasonable.


    "Junior brother?"


    The grand peak master blinked his eyes.


    Not long ago, one of his avatars personally witnessed Lin Yuan''s breakthrough to rank six on Cann Star. But what the grand peak master didn''t expect was to witness the junior apprentice brother''s breakthrough from rank six to rank seven today.


    "Master, did you already know that the junior brother was about to break through?"


    The fourth peak master, Zuo Ge, swallowed hard and cautiously asked. This time, Red Kun Star Lord called them out specifically, without disturbing Lin Yuan. Now, it seemed to have been very insightful.


    Or perhaps, he had known something beforehand.


    "Naturally."


    Red Kun Star Lord nced at his disciples. When Lin Yuan consulted him about basic spatial models before, Red Kun Star Lord realized how terrifying Lin Yuan''sprehension of spatial rules was. It was nothing like that of a newly entered rank six evolver.


    Such a high understanding of space meant that Lin Yuan''s realm far surpassed rank six. Moreover, as a peak master of the Red Kun Lineage, with an unlimited supply of ''Red Spirit Liquid'', there was no need to umte energy slowly.


    With so many factors, Red Kun Star Lord felt that Lin Yuan''s breakthrough to rank seven was entirely natural.


    However, Red Kun Star Lord also didn''t expect that Lin Yuan would choose to break through so quickly. Why not continue to umte energy? Or ask for guidance on breaking through to rank seven?


    Of course, although Red Kun Star Lord didn''t have much contact with Lin Yuan, based on his understanding of Lin Yuan, he knew that his little disciple was stable and wouldn''t do things without confidence. Even when he was suppressed by the ck Prison Family in the past, he didn''t expose his identity.


    Now, since he chose to break through to rank seven, he must have had sufficient confidence.


    "What kind of cultivation speed is this for the junior brother?"


    "I''m still struggling at rank six, and the junior brother is already at rank seven?"


    "Isn''t the junior brother less than thirty years old? Rank seven at thirty?"


    "When I was thirty, I was still ying around at ranks four or five."


    Aftering to their senses, the twelve peak masters expressed their astonishment and quickly began discussing.


    The stronger one''s strength, the more they understood how terrifying Lin Yuan''s cultivation speed was.


    In the Red Kun Star Domain, and even throughout the entire Human Alliance''s long history, there had been evolvers who reached rank seven before thirty. However, most of these evolvers had many opportunities and had entered rank six early, taking ten to nearly twenty years to break through to rank seven.


    As for someone like Lin Yuan, who reached rank seven in less than two years after reaching rank six, it was probably rare in the entire history of human civilization.


    "At present, among the recorded evolvers in the Human Civilization Alliance who reached rank seven before thirty, one-tenth stopped at rank seven, two-tenths died in various idents, and seven-tenths reached rank eight. In other words, as long as the junior apprentice brother doesn''t die, reaching rank eight in the future is almost inevitable."


    The second senior brother muttered to himself, still finding it somewhat unbelievable.


    Regardless, based solely on this terrifying cultivation speed, Lin Yuan would leave a heavy mark in the history of human civilization. Even after millions or tens of millions of years in the future, when future evolvers mentioned rank seven before thirty, they would surely not be able to bypass Lin Yuan.


    This astonishing evolver was actually their junior brother?


    "Alright."


    "Stop talking."


    "Watch carefully and feel deeply. Such opportunities are notmon."


    Red Kun Star Lord nced at the peak masters again and spoke.


    "Yes."


    The twelve peak masters immediately stopped discussing, especially from the fourth peak master to the twelfth peak master, who began to observe carefully.


    When an evolver at rank six broke through to rank seven, their influence on the cosmic starry sky began, and this slight change had a touching effect on those rank six peak evolvers.


    Red Kun Main Star.


    Deep within the Thirteenth Mountain Peaks Grand Hall.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    At this moment, his aura boiled to the extreme.


    With just a single thought, he could step into rank seven.


    "Next, I need to integrate the principles of Yin and Yang into the principles of space, and evolve the Tai Chi small world."


    Lin Yuan sat there, and within his dantian sea of qi, the forces of Yin and Yang collided continuously, bursting out an inexplicable field.


    If Lin Yuan hadn''tprehended over nine hundred basic spatial models, his dantian sea of qi would have stopped at this point.


    In terms of pure domain thickness and suppression, perhaps it was much stronger than those rank seven evolvers, but it was still in the same realm and far from beingpared to rank eight evolvers.


    But now?


    "Space."


    Lin Yuan''s mind moved slightly.


    Strands of spatial power surged out from his dantian sea of qi.


    Continuously condensing various spatial models, over nine hundred basic spatial models, theypletely supported apletely independent space within Lin Yuan''s dantian sea of qi.


    "World."


    Lin Yuan observed the changes in his dantian sea of qi.


    Opening a small space wasn''t difficult for a rank six evolver; as long as theyprehended one or two basic spatial models, they could do it. In the Immortal World, during the Nascent Soul stage, cultivators could temporarily open a ''pocket space'' using the Heaven-grade technique ''Universe in the Sleeve.''


    However, creating a small world was extremely difficult. Compared to rigid space, a world could continuously absorb external energy and grow. The most powerful aspect of an eighth-rank evolver was their ability to manipte the power of their internal world with every movement, a terrifying power far beyond individuals.


    With the support of an internal world, eighth-rank evolvers were difficult to kill. Even with severe injuries, they could recover.


    Of course, injuries here referred to physical injuries; as for soul injuries, it depended on the specific circumstances. Souls were extremely mysterious; over a million years ago, the eighth-rank evolver Ouyin died from a soul attack, and his message was never transmitted.


    "The world''s outline has been formed."


    Lin Yuan focused most of his attention on the space that had emerged in his dantian sea of qi.


    With the addition of nine hundred and sixty-five basic spatial models, the power of Yin and Yang formed by the forces of the moon and the sun seemed to undergo a qualitative change, quickly perfecting itself.


    The outline of a small world faintly emerged.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression suddenly changed.


    With the appearance of the outline of the small world, Lin Yuan suddenly felt an unprecedented ''sense of hunger.''


    Hungry.


    Hungry.


    Hungry.


    I''m starving.


    The already formed outline of the small world began to greedily absorb the energy within Lin Yuan''s body.


    Actually, with Lin Yuan''s level of control, he couldpletely cut off this absorption. However, doing so might affect the foundation of the Tai Chi small world.


    "Fortunately, I was prepared."


    Lin Yuan''s mind moved slightly.


    Bottles of Red Spirit Liquid appeared in front of him, containing arge amount of liquid. Lin Yuan had prepared everything before the breakthrough.


    Opening an internal world would inevitably consume arge amount of energy, and who knew how long it would take to absorb it naturally.


    So Lin Yuan had applied for enough Red Spirit Liquid in advance.


    Red Spirit Liquid could replenish the energy consumed within the body, and it had many uses. The Red Kun Lineage had a stable channel for obtaining Red Spirit Liquid.


    Actually, in terms of self-recovery, the effect of Universal Crystals should far surpass Red Spirit Liquid. These were resources that eighth-rank and even stronger evolvers needed.


    But Lin Yuan couldn''t bear to use them.


    Although he had obtained a thousand Universal Crystals from Ouyin''s inheritance, they were ''hard currency'' among the various cosmic races, and every bit spent was a bit less.


    Although the effect of Red Spirit Liquid was slightly inferior, it was free of charge.


    "Eat up, eat up."


    Lin Yuan drank the Red Spirit Liquid in big gulps, and the gentle power quickly flowed into his dantian sea of qi along his limbs and bones, rapidly filling up the outline of the Tai Chi small world.


    Above Red Kun Main Star.


    Red Kun Star Lord and the twelve peak masters were carefully observing the changes in Lin Yuan''s aura during his breakthrough.


    "Hmm, the junior brother''s foundation is very solid. He should have made full preparations, and the breakthrough encountered no obstacles. But why did he stay at the peak of rank six for so long?"


    The third senior brother was also observing carefully. Although he had already reached rank seven, there was no harm in observing more.


    "I''m not sure."


    "Perhaps he''s sensing the subtle changes from rank six to rank seven?"


    "Maybe, the junior brother is really... Compared to other evolvers, even ourselves, most would want to immediately cross the threshold from rank six to rank seven. The junior apprentice brother seems quite leisurely."


    The second senior brother sighed.


    For rank six evolvers, crossing into rank seven was definitely the most desired thing. No rank six evolver would linger at the threshold of rank seven, swaying back and forth without immediately entering.


    "ording to the current changes in aura, the junior brother''s breakthrough to rank seven should be stable."


    The senior brother concluded decisively. It had only taken less than two years for Lin Yuan toplete the entire process from rank six to rank seven, and the breakthrough was so smooth.


    The senior brother simply felt that Lin Yuan was simply abnormal.


    Thinking back to when he broke through to rank seven, he had endured so many setbacks and trials. Compared to his little junior apprentice brother...


    "Hmm?"


    Compared to the twelve deeply impressed peak masters.


    At this moment, although Red Kun Star Lord''s expression remained calm, his heart was filled with surprise and uncertainty.


    "Why do I sense the opening of a space?"


    Red Kun Star Lord carefully sensed the changes in auraing from the Thirteenth Mountain Peaks below.


    Because he was afraid of affecting Lin Yuan''s breakthrough, Red Kun Star Lord didn''t dare to probe his perception into the Thirteenth Mountain Peaks. He could only rely on his experience and the fluctuations of spatial power to specte on some things.


    "No way?"


    Red Kun Star Lord''s main body was a special spatial lifeform, a star sea kun, extremely sensitive to spatial fluctuations.


    At this moment, he faintly sensed that the spatial fluctuations caused by Lin Yuan''s breakthrough were somewhat different from a normal breakthrough from rank six to rank seven.


    "Is it some special spatial treasure, or..."


    Red Kun Star Lord thought for a moment and couldn''t help but specte.


    He was just curious and didn''t have any other thoughts. Which evolver who could reach rank six or rank seven didn''t have some special opportunities? He, as the master of Red Kun Main Star, had them, and the twelve peak masters had them. If Lin Yuan possessed a special spatial treasure, it was only normal.


    Time passed.


    Another half day went by.


    "It''s almost stabilized now."


    "Let''s go wait outside the Thirteenth Mountain Peaks."


    Feeling that Lin Yuan''s aura hadpletely crossed into rank seven, Red Kun Star Lord led the twelve peak masters to the area outside the Thirteenth Mountain Peaks.


    "Junior brother, you''ve kept us in the dark for so long."


    "Yes, this time we must find out how he cultivated."


    "Oh, when we bring him back, should I call him senior brother or junior brother?"


    The twelve peak masters chatted with each other, and from the fourth to the twelfth, they were somewhat conflicted.


    In the human civilization of the universe, apart from direct blood rtions, respect was given to the stronger individual.


    In other words, even if a rank seven evolver was younger, they would be treated with respect by rank six evolvers.


    The fourth to twelfth peak masters weren''t unwilling to call Lin Yuan senior brother; it''s just that they had called him junior brother so many times before, and now suddenly changing their status made them slightly ufortable.


    Red Kun Main Star.


    As the most prosperous in the star domain, powerful evolvers of rank four and five were everywhere, and there were also many rank six evolvers, and even some rank seven evolvers.


    Under the perception of so many powerhouses, the breakthrough aura from the central main star naturally caught the attention of many rank six evolvers.


    "Somebody from the Red Kun Lineage has broken through to rank seven?"


    "The teaching methods of Red Kun Star Lord are really remarkable."


    "Yes, it''s a pity that Red Kun Star Lord doesn''t take in many disciples. Over the past ten thousand years, he has only taken in the Thirteenth Peak Master."


    On the main star, the rank six evolvers chatted with each other, praising Red Kun Star Lord''s teaching methods.


    "By the way."


    "Who do you think broke through to rank seven this time?"


    A curious rank six evolver asked.


    "It should be the fourth peak master, right? The fourth peak master has been in rank six for the longest time, with the deepest umtion, and is also the closest to rank seven."


    "I don''t think so. The sixth peak master has the best aptitude and even possesses a special physique. Among Red Kun Star Lord''s disciples, I think he is the most likely to break through to rank seven."


    "The sixth peak master does indeed have a great possibility, but in the early years, he fought with members of other races and suffered some injuries. This might affect his breakthrough to rank seven. I think the eighth peak master is the most likely."


    "The eighth peak master? I think it''s the fifth peak master."


    Many rank six evolvers spected about the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth peak masters.


    These nine peak masters were all at the pinnacle of rank six, and with their status as master star disciples, they all had the potential to cross into rank seven.


    Although the opinions of the rank six evolvers were divided, there was a unified understanding, or rather, an assumption.


    That was, the peak master who was currently breaking through could not possibly be the Thirteenth Peak Master.

 Chapter 185

    Chapter 185


    Deep within the grand hall of the Thirteenth Mountain Peak.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged. After stepping into the seventh rank, both his physical body and soul underwent significant transformation.


    Now, Lin Yuan''s basic destructive power alone had surged by more than tenfold. Ifbined with the amplification of ruleprehension and the blessing of the Tai Chi world within his body, it was feared that only seventh-rank king-level evolvers could rival Lin Yuan.


    "The Tai Chi world."


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness sank into his dantian''s qi sea.


    There, a small world had long been opened up.


    Swoosh.


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness descended into the small world.


    It was a small world of ck and white swirling colors, with a sense of destion wherever the eye could see.However, Lin Yuan didn''t find it strange. The small world had just been opened up, and everything was waiting to be developed.


    "Normally, the inner worlds of eighth-rank evolvers are mostly hundreds of miles in diameter."


    "But my inner world is only ten miles in diameter?"


    Lin Yuan surveyed his surroundings and thought to himself.


    As the creator of this small world, Lin Yuan knew everything within it with just a single thought.


    "That makes sense."


    "The inner worlds opened up by eighth-rank evolvers have powerful physical bodies as a foundation, which is why they can support worlds spanning hundreds of miles."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Evolvers who could advance to the eighth rank usually followed paths of evolution no weaker than the path Lin Yuan was currently on. Additionally, they usually attempted to open up their inner worlds only after reaching the peak of the seventh rank. Naturally, the physical bodies and souls of those at the peak of the seventh rank were stronger than Lin Yuan''s previous peak of the sixth rank, resulting in the inner world beingrger in size.


    Of course, the initial size of the inner world was not important.


    Because the inner world had a growth attribute, meaning it could grow slowly.


    Currently, Lin Yuan''s inner world was only ten miles in size. As Lin Yuan''s realm and strength increased, the inner world would grow to hundreds or thousands of miles.


    "The Power of the World."


    Lin Yuan raised his right hand and carefully observed.


    After the formation of the Tai Chi world, the power of the world began to emanate, slowly transforming Lin Yuan''s physical body and soul.


    The power of the world was almost omnipotent. It could enhance Lin Yuan''s attacks, guard his physical body and soul, and gradually improve various aspects.


    "Although I have just entered the seventh rank, with the blessing of the power of the world, my true strength is estimated to have reached the peak of the seventh rank."


    Lin Yuan thought silently.


    The power of the world was the exclusive power of eighth-rank evolvers.


    Although the inner world Lin Yuan currently opened might be weaker than that of eighth-rank evolvers, it was still an inner world. The derived power of the world was almost like cheating for a seventh-rank evolver.


    Most importantly.


    For many seventh-rank peak kings, their upper limits were already fixed. To further advance, they could only attempt to break through to the eighth rank.


    But Lin Yuan''s inner world had just been opened up and had nearly infinite growth potential. Perhaps in the future, he couldpete with eighth-rank evolvers at the peak of the seventh rank.


    "Inner World."


    Lin Yuan carefully felt the inner world within his dantian''s qi sea again.


    Even if it was only ten miles in diameter, it was still aplete world, operating smoothly. As long as Lin Yuan wished, outsiders would hardly detect the existence of the inner world.


    "My Yin Spirit."


    Lin Yuan raised his head slightly, looking towards the direction of the C24763 Alien Battlefield.


    With the breakthrough of his main body, the Yin Divine Spirit also began to transform. The power of the divine spirit became purer, and in an instant, itpletely entered the realm of the seventh rank.


    "It''s a pity. The divine spirit has no physical body and cannot give birth to an inner world."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    "However, if the Yin and Yang Spirits merge to evolve Tai Chi,bined with theprehension of spatial rules, perhaps a phantom soul world could be derived?"


    Lin Yuan spected.


    A single Yin or Yang, even with the incorporation of spatial rules, could not form aplete world. But it would be different when the two werebined.


    "Has the teacher arrived?"


    Lin Yuan nced outside and immediately got up, walking out of the grand hall.


    "Teacher."


    "Brothers and sisters."


    Lin Yuan walked out, smiling.


    Regarding the breakthrough to the seventh rank, Lin Yuan didn''t intend to hide it, nor could he.


    In human civilization, as long as Lin Yuan was human, the more terrifying his talent, the greater the tilt of resources he would receive.


    "Good disciple." The Red Kun Star Master smiled as he looked at Lin Yuan. "In less than two years, you''ve entered the seventh rank, which is much stronger than your master back then."


    It took the Red Kun Star Masterthousands of years to break through to the seventh rank.


    However, the Red Kun Star Master''s main body was a Star Sea Kun, The breakthrough of such special life forms generally required a long time.


    And here, the long time referred to was only rtive to the human race.


    The lifespan of special life forms was often calcted in millions of years, and the so-called thousands of years was just a nap.


    Many special life forms would sleep for hundreds or thousands of years, equivalent to half a lifetime for ordinary human evolvers.


    "Young junior brother, slow down in your cultivation. If you get any faster, you''ll surpass me." Third Senior Brother joked on the side.


    In the Red Kun Lineage, the Grand Peak Master was a seventh-rank peak king, and the Second and Third Peak Masters were both seventh-rank marquises.


    Lin Yuan had just entered the seventh rank. In the eyes of Third Senior Brother, he was still a junior in the seventh rank.


    So Third Senior Brother thought Lin Yuan hadn''t surpassed him yet.


    But in reality, in terms ofbat power, perhaps only the Red Kun Star Masteron the field could suppress Lin Yuan. Besides, even the eldest senior brother might not necessarily be his opponent.


    There was no way.


    The power of the world was this outrageous.


    "Junior Master... um."


    Fourth Senior Brother and the others nced at each other, hesitant to speak.


    "You seniors, there''s no need to change how you address me."


    Lin Yuan immediately spoke upon seeing this.


    Since joining the Red Kun Lineage, the senior brothers had been very caring towards Lin Yuan. He had enjoyed pleasant interactions with Fourth Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother, and others.


    In such a situation, Lin Yuan didn''t feel that he was superior just because he had reached the seventh rank. Maintaining the previous way of addressing each other was sufficient.


    "Hahaha, obedient disciple, by doing this, won''t theyck the motivation to cultivate diligently?" Fourth Senior Brother, Zuo Ge, and the others'' faces brightened up, prompting a re from the Red Kun Star Masterbeside them.


    "Teacher."


    Fourth Senior Brother and the others'' faces immediately turned bitter.


    This had nothing to do with whether they had motivation or not.


    Not everyone had Lin Yuan''s talent, where stepping into the seventh rank was as simple as eating and drinking.


    "Alright, obedient disciple, at your age, stepping into the seventh rank is extremely rare in the entire Human Alliance''s history."


    The Red Kun Star Master''s expression became solemn. "But don''t be proud. With your talent, reaching the seventh rank is nothing special. The eighth rank is the goal, or even surpassing the eighth rank."


    "To surpass the eighth rank, let''s not talk about it for now, let''s talk about reaching the eighth rank."


    The Red Kun Star Masterpaused for a moment here before continuing, "To break through to the eighth rank, there are three prerequisites."


    "The first is to open up an inner world."


    "For eighth-rank evolvers, the inner world is their foundation. Manipting the power of the world is the most powerful means for eighth-rank evolvers."


    "Indeed."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    He had now opened up his inner world too and deeply understood this point.


    "The second is to have sufficient strength of mind and willpower. This can only be relied on oneself."


    "If onecks sufficient willpower, it is highly likely to fall into despair during the breakthrough to the eighth rank. At that time, even if an inner world is opened up, it would be of no use, equivalent to being a living dead person."


    The Red Kun Star Master''s tone became slightly solemn.


    When it came to opening up an inner world, it could still be assisted by certain means, such as the World Fruit. Of course, the World Fruit was too extravagant, but treasures that were second only to the World Fruit could still provide considerable help.


    But willpower?


    It could only rely on personal umtion. Many eighth-rank evolvers in history had failed in this aspect.


    "Understood."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    In simple terms.


    If using the description of the immortal world, breaking through from the seventh rank to the eighth rank required experiencing the ''trial of the heart demon.''


    The heart demon originated from within, and external objects were of no use; one could only rely on oneself.


    The Red Kun Star Masteremphasized this point because Lin Yuan was extremely young, and he might not be good at dealing with the heart demon.


    Normally, the longer one lived and the more one experienced, the greater the chances of oveing the trial of the heart demon.


    "Third. When you reach the limit of the seventh rank, you''ll naturally know."


    The Red Kun Star Masterdidn''t say much more. He felt that Lin Yuan had just entered the seventh rank, and knowing too much might not necessarily be a good thing.


    "Alright."


    "We should also go back."


    "You''ve just stepped into the seventh rank; you should familiarize yourself with your newfound power first."


    The Red Kun Star Masternced at the eldest senior brother and said, "Let your junior brother announce the news of your breakthrough."


    "Yes."


    The eldest senior brother nodded and smiled, "Now everyone outside is discussing which peak master has stepped into the seventh rank."


    Red Kun Main Star.


    Many forces were eagerly anticipating.


    They were waiting for the Red Kun Lineage to announce the news.


    ording to the customs of the Red Kun Lineage, when each peak master stepped into the seventh rank, they would make a big deal out of it. After all, having an additional seventh rank would also enhance the foundation of the Red Kun Lineage.


    "I''m sure it must be the Fourth Peak Master."


    "Stop talking nonsense. The Sixth Peak Master is the strongest."


    "Hehe, I like to be different. I think it''s the Twelfth Peak Master."


    Many forces argued endlessly, Some seventh-rank evolvers were acquainted with several peak masters and secretly contacted them, hoping to obtain internal information.


    But they hadn''t received any replies from the peak masters.


    Half a dayter.


    The Red Kun Lineage finally announced which peak master had stepped into the seventh rank.


    "It''s been announced."


    "Which peak master is it?"


    "Let me see, it''s the Thirteenth Peak Master who stepped into the seventh rank... huh? Thirteenth Peak Master?"


    Many forces fell into silence at first.


    It seemed like they hadn''t reacted yet, still pondering who this Thirteenth Peak Master was.


    But immediately after.


    The situation exploded.


    "Thirteenth Peak Master?"


    "Wasn''t the Thirteenth Peak Master a new disciple taken in by the Star Lord recently?"


    "Yes, not long ago, this Thirteenth Peak Master had just stepped into the Sixth Rank. I remember that the Thirteenth Peak Master came from a medium-sized life."


    "Thirteenth Peak Master stepping into the seventh rank, is there a mistake?"


    Countless forces discussed fervently, some couldn''t believe it. Even if it were the Twelfth Peak Master stepping into the seventh rank, it would be much easier to ept than the Thirteenth Peak Master stepping into the seventh rank.


    However.


    The announcement made by the Red Kun Lineage couldn''t be wrong.


    If they said it was the Thirteenth Peak Master, then it was the Thirteenth Peak Master.


    "My god, the talent of the Thirteenth Peak Master is so terrifying. In less than two years, he has crossed from the Sixth Rank to the Seventh Rank."


    "Sob, sob, I''m still at the Fourth Rank Stage. I give up on life."


    After the initial confusion, the many forces on the Red Kun Main Star immediatelyunched into even more fervent discussions.


    Cann Star.


    Compared to the Red Kun Main Star, which was the first to perceive that a peak master had stepped into the seventh rank, Cann Star didn''t receive any news. Even if they did, they probably wouldn''t have any other thoughts.


    After all, even countless citizens of Cann Star would never imagine that the peak master who had stepped into the seventh rank would be Lin Yuan, who had be the Thirteenth Peak Master just two years ago.


    Until the news from the Red Kun Lineage spread out publicly.


    "What? Peak Master Lin Yuan stepped into the seventh rank?"


    "So fast?"


    "A few years ago, when Peak Master Lin Yuan participated in the arenapetition, he was only at the fourth or fifth rank? And now he''s already at the seventh rank?"


    The entire poption of Cann Star, numbering in the billions, erupted into excitement upon receiving the news.


    In reality, Lin Yuan bing a peak master and stepping into the seventh rank didn''t bring much substantial benefits to most citizens of Cann Star.


    The so-called resource tilt would take hundreds of years to be apparent.


    But Lin Yuan was from Cann Star, and now that Cann Star had produced such a prominent figure, all the citizens of Cann Star felt a surge of pride from the bottom of their hearts.


    The Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage.


    A lofty seventh-rank evolver.


    A peerless figure that couldn''t be born on many high-level lifes.


    Yet the result was from their very own Cann Star?


    Wan Yang Star Domain.


    Wan YangHoly Land.


    The Wan YangCrown Prince sat cross-legged on the surface of a star, inhalingrge amounts of light and heat with each breath.


    As he has a rare ''Nine Yang Divine Veins'', the Wan Yang Crown Prince was almost immune to extreme heat and had a strong affinity for the rules of fire.


    Now that he had reached the sixth rank, he could even practice while walking on the surface of a star.


    It should be noted that even sixth-rank pinnacle evolvers didn''t dare to approach a star casually; sixth-rank evolvers were said to be able to destroy a with a single strike.


    But that was just about destroying ordinarys. A star? Being called a star meant its volume was at least tens of millions of times that of an ordinary.


    After finishing his practice, the Wan Yang Crown Prince connected his consciousness to the virtual world.


    "Rejected again?"


    The Wan YangCrown Prince nced at the challenge he had applied for.


    Since reaching the sixth rank, he had applied for a challenge against Lin Yuan every once in a while.


    After all, when he was at the fifth-rank limit, Lin Yuan had defeated him with just three ps, causing him to vomit blood and admit defeat. It was a ''shame'' that the Wan YangCrown Prince couldn''t shake off in his heart.


    Now that he had reached the sixth rank, with the Nine Yang Divine Veins further developed and the many secret techniques of the Wan Yang Holy Land, the Wan Yang Crown Prince believed he could regain his dignity.


    "Could it be that he''s afraid?"


    The Wan YangCrown Prince looked puzzled.


    In the eyes of the Wan YangCrown Prince, Lin Yuan''s repeated rejection of his challenge applications could only be for this reason.


    Swish.


    Just then, a ck-haired old man appeared.


    "Your Highness."


    The ck-haired old man bowed slightly to the Wan YangCrown Prince.


    "What is it?"


    The Wan YangCrown Prince was thinking about Lin Yuan when he casually asked.


    "Your Highness, you asked me to keep an eye on the news about the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage."


    The ck-haired old man asked cautiously.


    "Oh?"


    "What''s the news?"


    The Wan YangCrown Prince suddenly became interested.


    In his eyes, Lin Yuan held special significance, so he had instructed his subordinates to pay more attention to any news rted to Lin Yuan.


    "Your Highness, I''ve just received news that a peak master of the Red Kun Lineage has stepped into the seventh rank."


    The ck-haired old man regained hisposure and spoke even more cautiously.


    "Hah?!"


    The Wan YangCrown Prince perked up at the news.


    He was only interested in the Thirteenth Peak Master.


    As for the other peak masters of the Red Kun Lineage, whether they had stepped into the seventh rank or not, what did it have to do with him? Birth of a seventh-rank evolver was indeed a big deal for a star domain.


    But looking across the Star Alliance and even neighboring star domains, there were almost new evolvers stepping into the seventh rank every now and then.


    "Your Highness, the peak master who stepped into the seventh rank..."


    The ck-haired old man plucked up his courage and said, "It''s indeed the Thirteenth Peak Master."


    "Hmm?"


    The Wanyang Crown Prince paused for a moment, then suddenly reacted, stood up directly, and stared at the ck-haired old man.


    "What did you say?!"

 Chapter 186

    Chapter 186


    Wan Yang Prince felt somewhat bewildered.


    He almost thought he misheard.


    But at his level, it was impossible to mishear.


    The ck-haired elder did indeed say, ''It''s the Thirteenth Peak Master who has reached Rank Seven''.


    There was no doubt about that.


    So, the only conclusion that the Thirteenth Peak Master has reached Rank Seven must be that the ck-haired elder misspoke.


    For instance, he might have identally added the word ''three'', and it was actually the Tenth Peak Master who reached Rank Seven?


    "Your Highness, when I received this news earlier, I also found it absurd. But afterwards, I confirmed it many times, and the result was the same," said the ck-haired elder cautiously.


    He was well aware of how much the Thirteenth Peak Master''s challenge during the Fifth Rank Limit had affected the WanYang Prince.The overwhelming defeat shattered the WanYang Prince''s confidence.


    That battle, which was a crushing defeat, prompted the WanYang Prince to start seclusion and strive to break through to the Sixth Rank.


    Unlike other evolvers, the WanYang Prince''s ''Nine Yang Divine Veins'' would undergo a transformation upon reaching the Sixth Rank, a trait unique to him.


    This led him to believe that the Wan Yang Prince''s power had umted sufficiently. However, attempting to break through to Rank Seven would still require at least ten or even dozens of years.


    This was even after the Wan Yang Prince had been sealed in the ''WanYang True Crystal'' after his birth and had slept inside a star for nearly a hundred years.


    The ''Wan Yang True Crystal'' acted as protection, allowing the WanYang Prince to withstand the intense heat on the surface of the star. But daring to enter the star''s interior would mean courting death.


    However, by relying on external objects, such as the ''Wan Yang True Crystal'', the Wan Yang Prince could withstand the intense heat and mes inside the star.


    The Wan Yang Prince was sealed in the ''Wan Yang True Crystal'' and thrown into the interior of a star shortly after birth by the WanYang Star Lord using other means.


    But those means could not be used a second time. Therefore, even with the protection of the ''Wan Yang True Crystal'', the WanYang Prince entering the interior of the star would still entail a risk to his life.


    He immediately connected to the virtualwork.


    Soon, he saw the announcement issued by the Red Kun Lineage.


    Below the announcement, there were countless messages from evolvers, all expressing shock at the Thirteenth Peak Master''s advancement to the Seventh Rank.


    The Wan Yang Prince carefully read through the announcement.


    After rereading it several times, he sat back down.


    "Thirteenth Peak Master."


    The Wan Yang Prince''s gaze wasplex.


    He did not doubt the authenticity of the announcement.


    Such announcements issued by the Red Kun Lineage carried high authority, having undergone multiple confirmations and requiring the authorization of the Star Lord before being released.


    Since the Red Kun Lineage dared to issue this announcement and it had not been amended for so long, it indicated that the Peak Master who advanced to the Seventh Rank was indeed the Thirteenth Peak Master.


    With the status of the Red Kun Star Lord, there was no need to lie about this matter; the identity of the Peak Master who advanced to the Seventh Rankwould easily be revealed in due course.


    "How could this happen so quickly?"


    The Wan Yang Prince was somewhat absent-minded. Advancing to the Seventh Rankwas not something one could achieve simply by attempting it; it required sufficient umtion and one''s own foundation.


    The Wan Yang Prince believed his foundation was sufficient, but attempting to break through to the Seventh Rankwould still require at least ten years, if not decades.


    "I actually wanted to challenge him?"


    The Wan Yang Prince''s smile was somewhat mocking. He had previously wondered why the Thirteenth Peak Master repeatedly refused his challenges.


    Could it be that he was afraid?


    Now it seemed likely that the Thirteenth Peak Master thought agreeing to the challenge would be tantamount to bullying him.


    "Your Highness, are you... are you alright?"


    The ck-haired old man asked tentatively, very worried that the Wan Yang Prince''s pride might be shattered.


    "Don''t worry about me."


    The Wan Yang Princeshook his head.


    He looked at the ck-haired old man and said:


    "Go to the teacher and request a piece of the ''Wan Yang True Crystal.'' I want to enter the star again for cultivation."


    "Your Highness, this..."


    The ck-haired elder hesitated.


    "Listen to what I''m saying."


    The WanYang Prince''s gaze was firm.


    So what if the Thirteenth Peak Master has reached Rank Seven? Give him five or ten years, and through seclusion within the star, he will also reach Rank Seven.


    By then, the WanYang Prince would challenge the Thirteenth Peak Master again.


    Red Kun Main Star.


    Deep within the Thirteenth Mountain Peak Hall.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his consciousness connected to the virtual world.


    Personal space.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared out of thin air.


    After synchronizing his strength, in the virtual world, Lin Yuan''s physical body and soul reached Rank Seven.


    And it was no different from reality; deep within his dantian qi sea, a miniature Tai Chi world slowly rotated.


    "Simte a starry sky environment."


    With a slight movement of his mind, changes began to ur around him.


    A star system appeared, with a massive star emitting light and heat in the distance, surrounded by twelves orbiting around it.


    "Huh."


    Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze.


    For evolvers at Rank Seven, only under the vast expanse of the universe could they truly unleash their abilities; ordinarys were constraints.


    Of course, the battlefield spanning light-years could also withstand the extension of Rank Seven or even Rank Eight evolvers.


    Rumbling.


    Lin Yuan slightly exerted his world power and struck out towards a distant with his right hand.


    Rumbling.


    The mighty force spread through the vacuum, and the space subtly distorted. Soon, a millions of kilometers away was pierced by this force, shattered into countless fragments, and shot out in all directions.


    "Just a casual strike, and I can shatter a."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    Although Rank Six evolvers were known as destroyers, truly destroying a required their full strength, and at least several strikes to prate a.


    As for someone like Lin Yuan, who could turn a into countless fragments, it would probably require a Peak Rank Six evolver.


    And Lin Yuan, with just a casual strike, didn''t even use hisprehension of the rules; he only relied on the power of his world.


    "The power of the world is truly amazing."


    Lin Yuan sighed slightly. With the power of the world, it waspletely different from without it.


    "I now have a miniature world with a radius of ten miles inside my body, and the power of the world derived from it is so powerful. If I reach the level of an Eighth Rank evolver, with a miniature world of a radius of a hundred miles, wouldn''t it be..."


    Lin Yuan''s expression was full of anticipation.


    Of course. Lin Yuan also understood.


    Even if the miniature world within his body grew to a radius of a hundred miles, it would still be difficult topete with a true Eighth Rank evolver.


    After all, an Eighth Rank evolver possessed not only a miniature world within their body but also aprehensive understanding of the rules and other aspects, all of whichpletely overwhelmed a Seventh Rank evolver.


    "To reach the Eighth Rank, the first step is to open up the miniature world within the body, and I have already done that. There is no need to worry."


    Lin Yuan disconnected from the virtual world and returned to reality.


    Opening up the miniature world within his body in advance brought great benefits to Lin Yuan.


    In terms ofbat power, it was secondary; more importantly¡ªthrough observing the operation of the miniature world within his body, Lin Yuan could gain a deeper understanding of the rules.


    Although the miniature world within his body was far from the universe''s vast expanse, or even the five worlds Lin Yuan had traversed before, it was still aplete world.


    Even if a mosquito is small, it is still alive.


    "As for the second point, it requires a firm spiritual will to face the breakthrough to Rank Eight''s ''Heart Demon Tribtion.''"


    Lin Yuan fell into contemtion.


    Unlike strength, it was difficult to measure spiritual will.


    Perhaps the spiritual will of some ordinary people was stronger than that of Rank Six or Rank Seven evolvers.


    "Take it slowly, no rush," Lin Yuan thought to himself. Among the myriad evolvers in the main world, the method to enhance one''s spiritual will was simply to live.


    Only by living through long years, living for thousands or tens of thousands of years, experiencing various emotions, witnessing loved ones and friends passing away in front of one''s eyes, and so on.


    Spiritual will would naturally grow slowly, eventually reaching a level sufficient to resist the ''Heart Demon Tribtion.''


    "Perhaps the time spent experiencing the years in the traversed worlds has also tempered my spiritual will?"


    Lin Yuan was in a good mood.


    Human civilization border regions.


    Several terrifying wills descended.


    "What''s going on?"


    "Weren''t we saying that the Thirteenth Peak Master''s talent was only slightly better than the other peak masters? Now, just a few years have passed, and he has reached Rank Seven? Is this still just slightly better?"


    The leading consciousness emitted a massive mental fluctuation, roaring.


    Merely spending less than two years, from entering Rank Six to reaching Rank Seven, such talent... if he continued to grow for hundreds or thousands of years, what would be of him?


    If they had known about the Thirteenth Peak Master''s talent, they would have tried to kill him, no matter what the cost.


    The cost paid now was much better than the cost paid in the future on the alien battlefield.


    "I don''t know either? Who determined the Thirteenth Peak Master''s talent in the first ce? They should be heavily punished!"


    The second consciousness immediately spoke, with a serious tone, as if vowing to get to the bottom of it.


    "In fact, it''s not their fault. The Thirteenth Peak Master was too low-key. Except when he was about to break through to Rank Six, and began challenging evolvers from various major star regions, who knew about the Thirteenth Peak Master''s details?"


    The third consciousness couldn''t help but speak up.


    This was also a fact. Evolver geniuses like the Wan Yang Prince had their many records spread throughout numerous star domains.


    But the Thirteenth Peak Master?


    "At this point, discussing these matters is meaningless. What should we do now?"


    The fourth consciousness emitted a mental fluctuation.


    "What should we do?"


    "What can we do now?"


    The consciousness that first roared seemed somewhat helpless.


    Now that the Thirteenth Peak Master has reached Rank Seven, it''s not realistic to try to curse him again.


    And even if he were cursed to death, given the talent that the Thirteenth Peak Master has shown, it''s likely that a powerful individual would immediately intervene to resurrect him, without even waiting.


    "Indeed."


    "There''s no chance now."


    "The Thirteenth Peak Master has been too cautious. After reaching Rank Six, he has been staying on the Red Kun Main Star and hasn''te out at all."


    "Yes."


    "If he doesn''te out, what can we do?"


    Several consciousnesses continued tomunicate, sounding quite helpless.


    "Perhaps, thousands of yearster, a second Red Kun Star Lord will appear on the battlefield opened by us and the human race, and then who knows how many of us will die."


    The first consciousness fell silent for a moment.


    "A second Red Kun Star Lord?"


    The other consciousnesses trembled slightly.


    The Red Kun Star Lord was an almost invincible existence among Rank Eight evolvers.


    Even in medium-sized alien battlefields, the Red Kun Star Lord could rampage freely, with its main body, the Star Sea Kun, being safe. No one knew how many other alien Rank Eight evolvers they had devoured.


    Only the lofty Rank Nine aliens could make the Red Kun Star Lord slightly wary.


    Red Kun Main Star.


    Lin Yuan was about to continue his cultivation.


    Just then.


    The voice of the intelligent assistant suddenly sounded.


    "Master, the Star Alliance Assembly is about to convene. Will you participate?"


    "The Star Alliance Assembly?" Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.


    Quickly, information about the Star Alliance Assembly shed through his mind.


    The Star Alliance Assembly, also known as the "Announcement Star Alliance Assembly," was held once every hundred years.


    The Annan Star Alliance was a massive allianceposed of hundreds of star domains.


    The internal rtionships wereplex, and the division of interests between many star domains was impossible to resolve in a short period.


    That''s why the Star Alliance Assembly existed.


    The purpose of the Star Alliance Assembly was to resolve many internal conflicts within the Human Star Alliance. As for why the three goddesses didn''t intervene? The three goddesses were absolutely fair, but some matters couldn''t be solved by fairness alone and could even lead to greater hidden dangers.


    In addition, the Star Alliance Assembly would also change all the policies within the Star Alliance to better suit the habits of the citizens.


    And the Red Kun Star Domain was one of the powerful star domains within the Human Star Alliance.


    That''s why the intelligent assistant asked Lin Yuan if he would participate in the Star Alliance Assembly.


    Of course.


    Not everyone could participate in the Star Alliance Assembly.


    This involved the decision-making level of a star domain. At least a Level Six Citizen was qualified and had the right to intervene.


    Not long ago, before Lin Yuan embarked on his fifth transmigration, he had umted enough merits to be promoted to a Level Six Citizen and casually upgraded his citizen level to Level Six.


    With the qualification to participate in the Star Alliance Assembly.


    A Level Six Citizen merely reached the threshold for participating in the Star Alliance Assembly.


    They had the right to vote, while a Level Seven Citizen would automatically be a "delegate" of the Human Star Alliance, with the real power to make decisions.


    "The Star Alliance Assembly?"


    Lin Yuan thought for a moment. He wasn''t very interested in this kind of activity. If it weren''t for the Star Alliance Assembly being too important.


    It could determine the situation and status of hundreds of star domains. And Lin Yuan had also reached the threshold for participating in the Star Alliance Assembly.


    "I understand."


    Lin Yuan nodded, dismissing the intelligent assistant.


    "Should I participate or not?"


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    "Forget it."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    As important as the Star Alliance Assembly might be, it didn''t mean much to him.


    With this time, it''s better toprehend the rules more and perfect the follow-up to the Rank Seven section of the martial evolution path.

 Chapter 187

    Chapter 187


    No matter in which world, strength is the foundation of everything.


    If the Star Alliance Conference cannot bring substantive help to Lin Yuan, there is no need to waste energy on it.


    "Should I inquire about it?"


    Lin Yuan finished today''s cultivation and connected his consciousness to the virtual world.


    A personal space.


    A burly old man with a red nose was leisurely sitting in front of a dining table, asionally picking up the wine jug in front of him and taking a sip, his face filled with enjoyment.


    Just at this moment.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared.


    "Hahaha, Brother Thirteen,e over, this wine is rare and precious. I can''t afford it outside, so I can only drink it in the virtual world."The red-nosed old man immediately beckoned.


    "Brother Shi Feng, every time I see you, you''re drinking." Lin Yuan walked over and sat opposite the red-nosed old man.


    Red-nosed old man Shi Feng is a good friend that Lin Yuan made in the circle of founders, and also a founder of an evolutionary path.


    Because both of them are in the "Star Alliance", the red-nosed old man Shi Feng often invites Lin Yuan to drink.


    As time went by, the two became familiar with each other.


    Compared with Lin Yuan, Shi Feng is much older and has lived for tens of thousands of years. His citizen level has also reached level six.


    "Wine is a good thing, that kind of feeling, neither drunk nor sober." Red-nosed old man Shi Feng sighed.


    With his strength, as long as he had a thought, he could sober up. But why should he be sober? Isn''t it good to be immersed in a drunken state?


    "Good wine."


    Lin Yuan picked up a ss, tasted it slightly, and nodded slightly.


    The wine in the virtual world belongs to pure luxury items. Many magical effects exist in the wines of reality.


    Such as improving the physical body. Nourishing the soul. Or healing injuries and so on.


    But in the virtual world, wine is only left with its taste. Therefore, the wine in the virtual world is much cheaper than in reality.


    Just like the wine Lin Yuan just drank, named ''Dream Wine'', it can make one''s soul purer. In the real world, a ss is worth at least a billion civilized coins.


    But in the virtual world, it''s only ten million per ss, a hundred times cheaper.


    "Alright, Brother Thirteen, what do you want from me?"


    After chatting for a while, Shi Feng took the initiative to ask.


    Thirteen is the name Lin Yuan gave to himself in the world of founders.


    "I want to inquire about the Star Alliance Conference." Lin Yuan asked directly.


    Although Lin Yuan is not very interested in such conferences, he still wants to hear Shi Feng''s thoughts.


    Both being level six citizens, Shi Feng has lived for tens of thousands of years and is much stronger in terms of connections and insight than Lin Yuan.


    "The Star Alliance Conference?"


    "Oh, it''s time for the Star Alliance Conference again."


    Shi Feng''s expression suddenly became enlightened.


    "Brother Shi Feng, do you think it''s necessary to participate in the Star Alliance Conference?" Lin Yuan expressed his doubts.


    "Is it necessary to participate?" Shi Feng suddenly became energetic. "Of course, why not seize the opportunity to get treasures for free?"


    "Free?" Lin Yuan was slightly puzzled.


    Is the Star Alliance so wealthy that they give valuable treasures to every level six citizen participating in the conference?


    "That''s right."


    "Brother Thirteen, you''re still young. You''ve just been promoted to level six citizen, so you''re not familiar with the rules here."


    A smile appeared on Shi Feng''s face.


    "The purpose of the Star Alliance Conference is to resolve conflicts between many star domains within the alliance. But how to resolve them?"


    "Such as a rare resource appearing at the junction of two star domains, who should it belong to?"


    "Or the resources allocated by human civilization are only enough for three star domains to use, how should we choose?"


    Shi Feng said with a tsk tsk.


    "Yes, who should it belong to?"


    Lin Yuan also became interested. Such problems are difficult to have clear boundaries. Even if the three goddesses intervene, giving to one side would inevitably offend the other.


    Should they split the resource in half, with one half for each?


    "It depends on us."


    Shi Feng smiled and said, "At the Star Alliance Conference, conflicts between star domains will be brought to the table, and ultimately decided by our votes."


    "The side with the most votes wins."


    "So that''s how it is." Lin Yuan suddenly realized.


    Of course, the conflicts brought to the Star Alliance Conference are those where both sides have valid arguments.


    The conflicts that can be resolved rtively easily have already been decided by the three goddesses.


    "So, the voting rights of us level six citizens are very precious."


    Shi Feng hinted.


    "Very precious?" Lin Yuan looked at Shi Feng.


    "Because the two star domains involved in the conflict will pay a huge price to please us, hoping that we will vote for them in the conference."


    Shi Feng said.


    "I understand."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    In short.


    When encountering things that even the three goddesses cannot decide, or in other words, no matter which side wins, it does not affect the overall situation of human civilization.


    Then it is left to higher-level citizens to decide.


    "Moreover, after each Star Alliance Conference, we higher-level citizens will hold several exchange meetings while we are still there, to exchange the resources and treasures we need."


    Red-nosed Shi Feng continued.


    Although the Human Civilization Alliance has a dedicated shopping app to sell all kinds of treasures.


    But some precious and rare treasures are often in short supply, and these exchange meetings are for these rare and precious treasures.


    "That''s not bad."


    Lin Yuan thought of the weapons and treasures he obtained when his Yang Spirit went to the alien battlefield, as well as the inheritance of the eighth-rankevolver Ouyin.


    Many of them are things he can''t use.


    As for selling them directly to human civilization, that would be too much of a loss.


    But they could be disposed of through such exchange meetings.


    "Do you want to participate now?"


    Red-nosed Shi Feng asked.


    "Yes."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    Hisck of interest in the Star Alliance Conference was premised on it not being helpful to him. But now, hearing Shi Feng''s description, for level six citizens like them, participating in the Star Alliance Conference could be very profitable.


    "Hahahahaha."


    Red-nosed Shi Feng burst intoughter.


    "By the way, Brother Thirteen, do you need me to introduce you to those star domains that need votes?"


    Red-nosed Shi Feng asked.


    If Lin Yuan didn''t have any star domains he wanted to vote for, he couldpletely ''sell'' his votes to those star domains that needed them at a high price.


    "Thank you, Brother Shi Feng."


    Lin Yuan said seriously upon hearing this.


    This kind of matchmaking is not something ordinary evolvers can do; it requires a widework of contacts.


    "No need to thank me."


    "We''re friends."


    Shi Feng waved his hand and then said, "Wait for me for a moment, Brother Thirteen."


    After Shi Feng finished speaking.


    His figure disappeared.


    Obviously, he went to contact someone.


    Lin Yuan sat down and waited for a while.


    After a moment.


    Red-nosed Shi Feng appeared again.


    In addition, there was a young man next to him.


    "This is Brother Thirteen. Just talk to Brother Thirteen about the matters of your star domain." Red-nosed Shi Feng said casually.


    "Mr. Thirteen."


    The young man bowed slightly to Lin Yuan. "My name is Nadan, from the Moonwatch Star Domain."


    "This time, the conflict between our Moonwatch Star Domain and the Golden Dragon Star Domain will be brought up at the Star Alliance Conference."


    "At that time, I hope Mr. Thirteen can vote for our Moonwatch Star Domain."


    After the young man Nadan finished speaking, he respectfully ced a piece of white paper on the dining table.


    "As long as Mr. Thirteen agrees, the treasures and resources on this paper will be your reward."


    Nadan bowed slightly to Red-nosed Shi Feng and then left the personal space.


    "Tsk tsk, this Moonwatch Star Domain is also in a tough spot. Its strength is inferior to that of the Golden Dragon Star Domain, so it can only seek help everywhere like this."


    Red-nosed Shi Feng sighed.


    Some powerful star domains have cultivated many level six citizens. These level six citizens will naturally vote for their home star domains at the Star Alliance Conference.


    In contrast, weak star domains have few level six citizens and can only pay a huge price to seek help from level six citizens of other star domains.


    The three goddesses are aware of this situation but have not stopped it. The purpose is to motivate the major star domains to cultivate more high-level citizens.


    High-level citizens do not necessarily have to open up an evolutionary path or develop creation abilities.


    Going to the alien battlefield and fighting against aliens can also earn arge number of merits.


    "Take a look at the conditions offered by the Moonwatch Star Domain."


    Red-nosed Shi Feng nced at the white paper in front of Lin Yuan.


    "Moonwatch Star Domain?"


    Lin Yuan thought for a moment. If he remembered correctly, this should be the home star domain of the eighth-rankevolver Ouyin?


    "Let me see."


    Lin Yuan picked up the white paper and shared it with Red-nosed Shi Feng.


    "A seventh-rank soul defense treasure."


    Red-nosed Shi Feng was somewhat amazed. The first treasure on the white paper made him quite tempted.


    This is a soul defense treasure that guards the soul. It''s highly desired by evolvers on any evolutionary path.


    "Hmm?"


    There was a slight movement in Lin Yuan''s heart.


    Although he already had an eighth-ranksoul defense treasure, it was damaged. Repairing it would take who knows how long.


    Before that, it wouldn''t hurt to use a seventh-ranksoul defense treasure as a substitute.


    Lin Yuan wasn''t worried about what to do with the seventh-rank soul defense treasure once his eighth-ranksoul defense treasure was repaired. Such treasures that guard the soul are always in demand, and he could sell it at a premium anytime he wanted.


    Lin Yuan''s gaze shifted away from the first line on the white paper.


    And moved to the second line.


    "Jianmu Fragment, containing arge amount of vitality, can reshape the body of a seventh-rank evolver once."


    Compared to the seventh-rank soul defense treasure, the second item, the Jianmu Fragment, was slightly inferior, especially for Lin Yuan, who possessed the ''Blood Rebirth'' divine ability.


    But just because Lin Yuan didn''t need it didn''t mean other evolvers wouldn''t. He could sell it or exchange it for other items.


    Lin Yuan continued to look at the third line on the white paper.


    "The Heavenly Azure Water, which can purify the impurities of the body and consolidate the origin of the body."


    "This Moonwatch Star Domain is very sincere."


    After reading the three treasures, Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    These three treasures are highly sought after by seventh-rankevolvers, especially the first one.


    "Should I agree to them?"


    Lin Yuan looked at Red-nosed Shi Feng.


    Whether it''s the Moonwatch Star Domain or the Golden Dragon Star Domain.


    They have no relevance to Lin Yuan. It doesn''t matter which side he votes for.


    "Don''t be in a hurry."


    "First, let''s see what the Golden Dragon Star Domain has to offer."


    Red-nosed Shi Feng said, then disappeared again.


    When Shi Feng returned, a tall man in a golden robe appeared beside him.


    "Jin Tianzhao, the price Moonwatch Star Domain offered to Brother Thirteen is quite substantial; you need to step up your game," Shi Feng reminded.


    Obviously, the tall man in the golden robe next to him, named Jin Tianzhao, is from the Golden Dragon Star Domain.


    "Thirteen, right?" Jin Tianzhao scrutinized Lin Yuan carefully. "Thirteen, is this your first time attending the Star Alliance Conference?"


    "That''s correct," Lin Yuan nodded.


    The Star Alliance Conference happens once every hundred years, which isn''t long for level six citizens. Even if they''re not familiar with each other, they usually know of one another.


    "In that case, Thirteen, do you know the strength of our Golden Dragon Star Domain?" Jin Tianzhao continued.


    At this, Lin Yuan remained unfazed.


    On the other hand, Shi Feng frowned, "Jin Tianzhao, what do you mean? If you want Thirteen to vote for your Golden Dragon Star Domain, hurry up and offer some rewards, don''t beat around the bush."


    "Rewards?" Jin Tianzhao shook his head. "I came here just to meet Thirteen and have a few words with him."


    "Thirteen, you''ve just be a level six citizen not long ago; you shouldn''t be tied to our Golden Dragon Star Domain," Jin Tianzhao continued before he could finish.


    "Get lost," Shi Feng, full of impatience, kicked him out of the personal space directly.


    "This Jin Tianzhao is too arrogant. Who is he threatening?" Shi Feng''s expression was somewhat irritable.


    "It doesn''t matter," Lin Yuan shrugged.


    If negotiations aren''t fruitful, there''s no need to continue.


    "I''ll go ask Jin Tianzhao what gives him the courage," Shi Feng disappeared again.


    In another personal space.


    Shi Feng red angrily at Jin Tianzhao in the golden robe.


    "Jin Tianzhao, what do you mean? Thirteen is my friend. Even if you don''t need Thirteen''s vote, there''s no need to speak like that," Shi Feng''s tone was displeased.


    "Brother Shi, you should know, with the strength of our Golden Dragon Star Domain, even if Moonwatch Star Domain seeks external aid everywhere, they still won''t win," Jin Tianzhao said calmly.


    This is the confidence of a powerful star domain.


    The Golden Dragon Star Domain alone has as many level six citizens as several, even tens, of star domainsbined.


    "Brother Shi, how long have you known Thirteen? You''re always considering others for his sake. You just like making these so-called friends," Jin Tianzhao shook his head.


    "So-called friends?" Shi Feng looked at Jin Tianzhao strangely.


    "Although he''s just be a level six citizen, his age definitely doesn''t exceed a thousand years. His potential is limitless in the future. Otherwise, why do you think I''m befriending him?" Shi Feng sighed.


    "If you treat Thirteen like this, I can''t do anything about it. But after thousands, tens of thousands of years, when Thirteen grows up, I hope you''ll still..."


    "A level six citizen under a thousand years old."


    Jin Tianzhao''s expression changed slightly, then he calmed down.


    "And so what?"


    "Even if he bes a level seven citizen in the future, he still can''t do anything to our Golden Dragon Star Domain."


    "It''s just..."


    Jin Tianzhao said lightly, "Water from a well does not interfere with river water."


    "Water from a well does not interfere with river water?" Shi Feng nced at Jin Tianzhao and then turned to leave.


    Water from a well does not interfere with river water?


    Who is the small well water?


    Who is the vast river water?


    Only heaven knows.

 Chapter 188

    Chapter 188


    Personal space.


    Lin Yuan picked up the wine ss on the table and took a casual sip.


    "This Golden Dragon Star Domain is really overbearing, daring to threaten a six-level citizen?" Lin Yuan put down the wine ss, shaking his head slightly.


    As six-level citizens, there are distinctions among them.


    Some evolvers ascend to the sixth citizen by killing aliens, earning arge number of merit points, and then advancing to six-level citizens.


    Some evolvers, on the other hand, ascend to the sixth citizen by inventing and creating, researching new technological achievements, and then advancing to six-level citizens.


    Then there are evolvers like Lin Yuan, who open up a certain evolutionary path and ultimately advance to six-level citizen.


    But undoubtedly, six-level citizens who open up evolutionary paths are the rarest.


    Lin Yuan and Red-Nosed Shi Feng belong to this category, or rather, high-level citizens of the founder''s virtual world belong to this category.But as rare as they are, they are still only six-level citizens.


    In the Human Civilization Alliance, six-level citizens have a high status, but unless they hold important positions, they have little power.


    Ordinary evolvers, ordinary citizens, when they see a six-level citizen, dare not be the slightest bit negligent, but the Golden Dragon Star Domain is different.


    As one of the top three powerful star domains in the Star Alliance, the Golden Dragon Star Domain does not need to try to please other six-level citizens like the MoonwatchStar Domain.


    Because the Golden Dragon Star Domain itself has cultivated many six-level citizens and has many friends, which is the confidence of a powerful star domain.


    "That''s true."


    "After all, I haven''t revealed any other identities. In the eyes of that Jin Tianzhao, I''m just a newly promoted six-level citizen who probably won''t advance beyond this level in his lifetime, so there''s no need to pay too much attention." Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    To advance from a six-level citizen to a seven-level citizen, one needs two million merit points.


    Such a huge sum of merit points even makes the Golden Dragon Star Domain itself feel a little overwhelmed, let alone a newly promoted six-level citizen.


    Almost ny-nine percent of six-level citizens will not be able to umte two million merit points in their lifetime.


    "Thirteen, buddy."


    At this point, Red-Nosed Shi Feng returned and greeted Lin Yuan.


    "That Jin Tianzhao, people are like that, too arrogant, you shouldn''t take it too seriously," Red-Nosed Shi Fengforted.


    He and Jin Tianzhao only have an ordinary rtionship. If it weren''t for the matter between the Moonwatch Star Domain and the Golden Dragon Star Domain, he wouldn''t have invited Jin Tianzhao over.


    "It''s okay."


    Lin Yuan smiled.


    Whether it''s Jin Tianzhao or even the Golden Dragon Star Domain.


    At most, it''s just a verbal threat.


    Moreover.


    Even if Jin Tianzhao wants to do something, he doesn''t know Lin Yuan''s true identity.


    The current identity revealed by Lin Yuan is just a six-level citizen of the Star Alliance, at most a friend with Red-Nosed Shi Feng, and a member of the founder''s world.


    As for more?


    Red-Nosed Shi Feng might have guessed that Lin Yuan''s actual age is not much over a thousand years, but that''s it.


    "That Golden Dragon Star Domain is indeed powerful. It has independently opened up three alien battlefields and fought against three ethnic groups with the strength of one domain," Red-Nosed Shi Feng eximed.


    "The Golden Dragon Star Lord is indeed extraordinary."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    The strength of the Golden Dragon Star Lord is no less than that of his teacher, the Red Kun Star Lord, and belongs to the invincible existence among the eighth-rank evolvers.


    In the vast Star Alliance, which epasses hundreds of star domains, the number of eighth-rank evolvers exceeds a thousand, but there are only a few who have reached the level of the Red Kun Star Lord and the Golden Dragon Star Lord.


    With such a Star Lord sitting in power, the Golden Dragon Star Domain already has the strength to independently open up alien battlefields.


    For the Golden Dragon Star Domain, alien battlefields are a source of arge number of merit points and a ce to hone their own citizens.


    In fact.


    The Red Kun Star Domain has also independently opened up four alien battlefields.


    It''s just that the four alien battlefields opened up by the Red Kun Star Domain allck permanent spatial fissures.


    Permanent spatial fissures can only be formed by the power of the strongest level.


    The power of the strongest level here is not necessarily personally contributed by the strongest level, but powerful weapons can also do it. However, the size of the permanent spatial fissure caused by this is far less than that created by the strongest level personally.


    Even so.


    The vast majority of alien battlefields do not have permanent spatial fissures.


    "Alright."


    "Don''t worry too much about that Jin Tianzhao."


    "With Thirteen''s talent, he will have a hard time in the future." Red-Nosed Shi Feng tentatively said.


    Through interacting with Lin Yuan, he felt that Lin Yuan''s age should not be too old.


    At least not more than a thousand years. For such a young age to advance to a six-level citizen and still be a member of the founder''s world, it seems that the evolutionary path he opened up is not simple.


    "Brother Shi Feng is joking."


    "How could I have the means to make people from the Golden Dragon Star Domain suffer." Lin Yuan smiled and said.


    If Red-Nosed Shi Feng knew Lin Yuan''s true age in the main world, which is not over thirty years old, he would probably not inquire like this now.


    Rather, he would first confirm whether he was dreaming.


    "In that case, can I choose the MoonwatchStar Domain now?" Lin Yuan asked.


    Since the Golden Dragon Star Domain has shown no intention of offering rewards, Lin Yuan''s voting rights naturally go to the MoonwatchStar Domain.


    After all, Lin Yuan is quite tempted by that seven-level soul defense treasure, which can be used for a while.


    "No rush, no rush."


    "We six-level citizens only have one voting right per Star Alliance conference. Let''s observe for a while. As long as it doesn''t involve our home star domain or any star domain with deep connections, we''ll help whoever offers the highest price." Red-Nosed Shi Feng said.


    Issues and conflicts raised at the Star Alliance Conference are all of the kind that will not affect the overall situation of human civilization regardless of which side wins.


    It is precisely because of this.


    The three goddesses of human civilization have entrusted the decision-making power to high-level citizens.


    It is also one of the "hidden benefits" of high-level citizens.


    Next.


    Red-Nosed Shi Feng brought over seven or eight evolvers.


    They were all representatives from various major star domains of the "Star Alliance."


    These evolvers were quite polite to Lin Yuan, after all, powerful star domains like the Golden Dragon Star Domain were few.


    Moreover, individuals like Jin Tianzhao, who were so arrogant, were even rarer.


    Generally speaking, everyone was quite polite to six-level citizens. Even if negotiations didn''t work out, there wouldn''t be any threatening words.


    Because it wouldn''t serve any purpose.


    "How about it?"


    "Have you made your choice?" Red-Nosed Shi Feng looked at Lin Yuan with interest.


    He had already reached an agreement with a certain star domain.


    The price offered by that star domain was quite satisfactory to Red-Nosed Shi Feng.


    Now, he was mainly curious about Lin Yuan''s choice.


    "Just the MoonwatchStar Domain." Lin Yuan thought for a moment and spoke up.


    Among the seven or eight representatives behind him, three had offered conditions equivalent to those of the MoonwatchStar Domain.


    In theory, it didn''t make much difference which one Lin Yuan chose.


    However, Lin Yuan had inherited the legacy of the eighth-rank evolver, Ouyin.


    And the MoonwatchStar Domain was Ouyin''s hometown.


    In this situation, underparable conditions, Lin Yuan naturally leaned towards the MoonwatchStar Domain.


    "Alright." Red-Nosed Shi Feng nodded.


    He immediately contacted the young man from the MoonwatchStar Domain, Nadan.


    After a moment, Nadan appeared in the personal space.


    "Thank you, Mr. Thirteen, for your assistance. On behalf of the MoonwatchStar Domain, we are deeply grateful." Nadan''s tone was slightly respectful. The reward he offered was not much different from the others, so Lin Yuan''s choice naturally deserved thanks.


    "It''s just a matter of mutual benefit." Lin Yuan waved his hand casually.


    He wasn''t helping the MoonwatchStar Domain for free either.


    "This is the password for Shuntong Group''s ''safe deposit box.'' Mr. Thirteen just needs to log in to the Shuntong Group website and ess the ''safe deposit box'' service to obtain the reward." Nadan sent Lin Yuan a series of numbers.


    Shuntong Group is thergest transportation group in the Human Civilization Alliance, and the safe deposit box service ces great emphasis on privacy.


    Nadan ced the treasure in the safe deposit box of Shuntong Group and then handed the password to Lin Yuan.


    With the password, Lin Yuan would have ownership of the reward in the safe deposit box, and it would be delivered by Shuntong Group in the end.


    Throughout the process, neither party knew each other''s location or the destination, etc.


    In this regard, with the guarantee of human civilization, it was absolutely trustworthy. Even the invincible eighth-rank existence like Red Kun Star Lord used the transportation services of Shuntong Group.


    "Alright." Lin Yuan noted down the password and nodded.


    "Thirteen buddy, if you ever don''t need that soul defense treasure in the future, be sure to let me know. I''ll definitely buy it at the highest price." Red-Nosed Shi Feng immediately said.


    He was also very eager for that soul defense treasure, but he had no choice. Compared to another treasure, Red-Nosed Shi Feng chose thetter.


    "Sure." Lin Yuan nodded.


    The seventh-rank soul defense treasure was just for temporary use.


    When Lin Yuan reached the eighth rank or repaired the eighth-rank soul defense treasure, he wouldn''t need this seventh-ranksoul defense treasure anymore.


    "Hey, every Star Alliance conference, we six-level citizens only have voting rights, and the real decision-makers are still those ''senators''." Red-Nosed Shi Feng sighed.


    The senators of the Star Alliance had the prerequisite condition of being seventh-level citizens. Although there was only a one-level difference between six-level citizens and seventh-level citizens, in terms of status and privileges, it was a qualitative change.


    There was no six-level citizen who didn''t long to be a seventh-level citizen, but just longing wasn''t enough.


    It also required what could be described as an enormous amount of merit points to meet the requirements for advancing to a seventh-level citizen.


    "Seventh-level citizen." Lin Yuan''s expression was slightly solemn.


    For a six-level citizen to advance to a seventh-level citizen, they needed two million merit points, which was equivalent to killing two eighth-rankaliens on the alien battlefield.


    The key thing was, to kill these two eighth-rankaliens, it had to be the main body. If it was a clone, the merit points would be far from a million.


    In other words, only bypletely killing two eighth-rankaliens could one obtain two million merit points.


    This was too difficult.


    Red Kun Star Lord roamed the alien battlefield, devouring countless eighth-rankaliens with the posture of a star sea kun.


    But most of these eighth-rankaliens were clones, and as for the main body, it was unknown where it was hiding long ago.


    Red Kun Main Star.


    Lin Yuan stepped out of the main hall.


    Not long after.


    A spaceshipnded.


    A sharp-eyed staff member walked out from inside.


    "These are the items you transported. Please sign for them." This staff member, with at least seventh-rankstrength, was a high-star employee of Shuntong Group, specializing in the transportation of valuable items.


    "Okay." Lin Yuan nodded.


    The reward given to him by Nadan from the MoonwatchStar Domain was transported through Shuntong Group.


    With the service specifications of the safe deposit box business, it was quickly delivered.


    Ding¡ª


    Lin Yuan confirmed his identity and epted it smoothly.


    "It''s our honor to serve you." The sharp-eyed staff member bowed slightly to Lin Yuan and then returned to the spaceship.


    In the depths of the main hall.


    Lin Yuan began to inspect the treasure.


    First is the seventh-ranksoul defense treasure.


    It was a palm-sized jade pendant, presenting a faint pink color.


    After Lin Yuan refined it, the jade pendant turned into flowing light and entered his sea of consciousness, guarding his soul.


    "Not bad." Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    Although there shouldn''t be any danger deep within the Red Kun Main Star, it''s better to have it than not. And this soul defense treasure wasn''t something Lin Yuan specifically purchased; it was entirely unexpected.


    "Jianmu Fragment."


    Lin Yuan took out the second treasure.


    It was a piece of wood fragment, with a faintly charred surface.


    Just by looking at it, Lin Yuan could feel that deep within the cosmic sky, a huge divine tree supporting heaven and earth was swaying slightly.


    "So, that''s Jianmu?" Lin Yuan closed his eyes and couldn''t help but marvel.


    Jianmu was a supreme powerhouse deep within the universe, belonging to the nt life.


    In terms of size alone, Jianmu exceeded ten light-years. It was truly a colossal entity. Even Red Kun Star Lord dared not approach the main body of Jianmu.


    As for this section of Jianmu Fragment, it was what Jianmu broke into during its tribtion every hundred thousand years. These fragments were shattered by Jianmu during its tribtion.


    "Heavenly Azure Water."


    Lin Yuan looked at the third treasure.


    This water could purify the impurities of the flesh, strengthen the origin of the flesh, and could be used by any evolver.


    "Let''s try it first."


    Lin Yuan absorbed a drop of "Heavenly Azure Water" and immediately felt a special force spreading towards his limbs and flesh.


    "So wonderful." A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face as he carefully felt it.


    Golden Dragon Star Domain.


    On a pure golden.


    Jin Tianzhao, dressed in a golden robe, hesitated for a moment and finally decided to visit his teacher.


    "Tianzhao, what''s the matter?" Golden Dragon Star Lord''s eyes turned golden, and his aura was majestic, as if he transcended the cosmic sky.


    "Teacher."


    "A few days ago, because of the Star Alliance conference, I threatened a six-level citizen who supported the Moonwatch Star Domain." Jin Tianzhao spoke truthfully.


    If Lin Yuan was just an ordinary six-level citizen, he naturally wouldn''t care.


    But when Red-Nosed Shi Feng mentioned that Lin Yuan''s true age might not exceed a thousand years, Jin Tianzhao felt a little flustered. A six-level citizen under a thousand years old had considerable potential, so he had to inform his teacher.


    "Is that six-level citizen named ''Thirteen''?" Golden Dragon Star Lord looked down at Jin Tianzhao, almost instantly determining that ''Thirteen'' was an alias.


    As for the true identity of that six-level citizen, besides the three goddesses, no one probably knew.


    "No need to worry." Golden Dragon Star Lord''s tone was calm.


    "Even if he can be a seventh-level citizen, it will be a matter of long years from now. Focus on the present matters first."

 Chapter 189

    Chapter 189


    Code C24763, alien battlefield.


    A permanent spatial fissure not far away.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, asionally closing his eyes to contemte, asionally looking up at the spatial fissure over ten meters long.


    "Space is everything."


    "All things gestate, requiring space; all things grow, requiring space; all things perish, likewise requiring space."


    Lin Yuan pondered in his heart.


    Sinceprehending 965 basic spatial models, Lin Yuan has begun to perceive the deeper essence of spatial rules.


    With his unparalleled insight, coupled with the permanent spatial fissure nearby emitting spatial fluctuations.


    Lin Yuan''s perception of spatial rules grows every day."Seven thousand seven hundred and eighty-two core spatial models." Lin Yuan frowned, afterprehending the basic spatial models.


    Next, he wouldprehend the core spatial models.


    If the 965 basic spatial models are just the surface of spatial rules, belonging to the introductory level.


    Then the 7,782 spatial models are the core of spatial rules.


    Moreover, each of these 7,782 spatial models has many facets, like blind men touching an elephant, different evolvers will have different insights.


    This is also why the Red Kun Star Lord is unwilling to demonstrate core spatial models to Lin Yuan.


    The core spatial models demonstrated by the Red Kun Star Lord are only the spatial models he understands. If Lin Yuan follows along toprehend, he will only be dyed.


    Of course, the Red Kun Star Lord''s concern is based on Lin Yuan''s terrifying talent.


    If it were the other twelve disciples, the Red Kun Star Lord wouldn''t mind demonstrating core spatial models.


    "It''s been a month or two since Iprehended the basic spatial models. In such a long time, I haven''tprehended a single core spatial model."


    Lin Yuan sighed inwardly.


    If other evolvers knew that Lin Yuan nned to spend one or two monthsprehending a core spatial model, they would probably be frustrated to the point of vomiting blood.


    The 7,782 core spatial models, each profound and vast, are enough for ordinary Seventh Rank evolvers toprehend for thousands or tens of thousands of years.


    You n toprehend one in one or two months?


    Even for Eighth Rank evolvers like the Red Kun Star Lord, who have astonishing talent in spatial rules,prehending a core spatial model also requires a huge expenditure of effort.


    Especially as one gets closer to the end, the core spatial models be more obscure and difficult to understand. A bottleneck might trap one for hundreds or thousands of years.


    "Take it slow."


    "I''m not in a hurry."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts converged. What hecks the least is time. With the ability to transmigrate through the Gate of Myriad Worlds, his actual lifespan is much longer than that of evolvers of the same rank.


    Althoughprehending spatial rules while transmigrating through worlds isn''t as fast as observing the permanent spatial fissure right now.


    But with his unparalleled insight, it''s just a matter of spending a bit more time.


    "I feel like, as Iprehend the core spatial models, the small world inside me is slowly expanding?"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The inner world is entirely based on Lin Yuan.


    The higher Lin Yuan''s realm, the deeper hisprehension of space, naturally expanding its range.


    "If I couldprehend all 7,782 core spatial models, wouldn''t the size of the small world inside me be immeasurable?"


    Lin Yuan looked expectant.


    Therger the inner world, the more world power can be mobilized. If Lin Yuan''s inner world reaches the size of thousands of miles in radius.


    With just the power of the world, Lin Yuan would be more than enough to surpass ordinary Eighth Rank evolvers.


    "Forget it."


    "Comprehending all 7,782 core spatial models is too far off for me. I''ll just start with the first one."


    Lin Yuan steadied his mind and continued hisprehension.


    Even though the Yin and Yang avatarsprehend spatial rules, it can still synchronize with the ''true self'', with the two avatars and the true self sharing consciousness and insights.


    "However."


    Lin Yuan pondered for a while, then nced around.


    "Why are there fewer and fewer aliens around?"


    Lin Yuan was somewhat puzzled.


    Near the permanent spatial fissure, not only are human evolvers constantly present forprehension, but also strong members of the ck Abyss n.


    Both major groups are eager toprehend before the permanent spatial fissure, as it can truly enhanceprehension efficiency and speed.


    It''s precisely because of this, near the permanent spatial fissure, it bes a ''truce zone'' for both major groups.


    Fighting is not allowed by default.


    Otherwise, if you strike once, I''ll strike twice. Will anyone still be able toprehend?


    "Nothing big is going to happen, right?"


    Lin Yuan faintly felt something was amiss, but at this moment, he was only a spiritual avatar here. Even if he perished, the loss would be eptable to him.


    The main world is not like the transmigrated world. Losing a spiritual avatar requires Lin Yuan to expend quite a bit of time or essence to reassemble.


    In the main world, there are many cosmic treasures and artifacts that canpletely rece one''s own origin, and canpletely condense two spiritual avatars in just a few breaths.


    On the other side of the battlefield.


    Here, there is a gathering of many strong members of the ck Abyss n.


    "What''s the situation now?"


    The leader is a man with a horn on his forehead, his body surrounded by dark thunder, and even a trace of his aura is enough to make ordinary Sixth Rank strong tremble.


    "There hasn''t been any change. The human civilization is unaware of our ck Abyss n''s intentions."


    "Even if they guess some, they will only think that we want to escte the intensity of the war, not knowing that this time, our ck Abyss n will mobilize all our forces."


    A stout ck Abyss n member beside him spoke softly.


    "Sir, this decisive battle with the human civilization, if we make the slightest mistake, our n will fall into an abyss."


    Another ck Abyss n member hesitated, unable to help but speak.


    The humans are one of the peak civilizations in the universe, if it weren''t for being held back by other major alliances of peak civilizations, the ck Abyss n would have been wiped out countless times.


    Even so, the human civilization is not incapable of destroying the ck Abyss n, but simply unwilling to pay the price.


    So.


    Now that the ck Abyss n has initiated the decisive battle on its own, even if the human civilization evolvers on this battlefield are wiped out, what can they do?


    Could it be that the entire human civilization will copse because of this?


    Not likely.


    This will only trigger a frenzied retaliation from the human civilization.


    "This is an order from the Insect race."


    The horned man fell silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.


    "The Insect race?"


    The stout ck Abyss n member was slightly stunned, his face bing very ugly.


    This is much more serious than the ck Abyss n simply initiating a decisive battle.


    If the Insect race orders their ck Abyss n like this, could it be that they want to engage in a decisive battle of peak civilizations with the human civilization?


    Then what about the other major peak civilization groups? Will they also participate? If it''s a decisive battle among the major peak civilization groups, there will inevitably be the involvement of beings at the level of the utmost strength, which will be a war that shakes the entire universe.


    Powerful groups like the ck Abyss n may not survive under such intense war conditions.


    "At this point, our n has no choice."


    The horned man''s tone was indifferent.


    In the vast universe, all races are nothing more than puppets manipted by a few major peak civilization groups.


    If his ck Abyss n dares to defy the orders of the Insect race, without the need for the human civilization to take action, the Insect race willpletely eliminate them.


    "Xue You, you''ve been at the Eighth Rank for many years. This time, you will sit in the southeastern area outside the battlefield, and any human civilization evolvers who escape, kill without mercy."


    The horned man ordered.


    "Yes."


    The stout ck Abyss n member nodded.


    He really didn''t want to engage in a war with the human civilization that was too intense, because there was no benefit to it.


    As for the spoils of war and so on? What does that matterpared to the retaliation of the human civilization?


    But this is the order of the Insect race.


    "Also."


    The horned man continued to arrange, letting the strong members of the ck Abyss n ambush around the battlefield to prevent human civilization evolvers from escaping.


    "Finally."


    "I will lead arge number of strong members of the ck Abyss n to cleanse the human civilization evolvers on the battlefield."


    The horned man looked towards the many strong members of the ck Abyss n. "Go to your positions."


    "Yes."


    "Yes."


    "Yes."


    Soon, a small part of the strong members of the ck Abyss n disappeared quickly.


    Floating mountain range.


    This is a base for the human civilization on the battlefield.


    At this moment, a Seventh Rank King-level evolver stood at the top of the mountain range, looking towards the central battlefield from afar.


    "The number of aliens are increasing"


    This Seventh Rank King, named ''Zhou Shi'', frowned.


    "What does this group of ck Abyss n want to do?"


    Zhou Shi was somewhat uncertain.


    "Let''s try to avoid conflicts with the ck Abyss n in the near future."


    Zhou Shi thought to himself, nning to adapt to changes by remaining unchanged.


    Suddenly.


    Zhou Shi seemed to sense something and quickly connected his consciousness to the virtual world.


    In most areas of the alien battlefield, human evolvers cannot connect with the three goddesses, nor can they connect to the virtual world.


    But in the human civilization base, there is no such restriction, and one can connect at any time.


    After a moment.


    Zhou Shi disconnected from the virtual world, his expression extremely serious.


    "These aliens dare to do this. Does the Insect race want to initiate a decisive battle with our human race?"


    Zhou Shi''s thoughts surged. Just now, the Free Goddess informed him that the ck Abyss n may mobilize all their forces next, to cleanse the human civilization evolvers on the battlefield.


    As for the source of the information, it came from the top divination master of the human civilization, deduced from the information from millions of alien battlefields.


    The peak civilization Insect race, for some indescribable reason, wouldmand all its subordinate races tounch a cleansing of the human civilization evolvers on the alien battlefield, regardless of the consequences.


    "They mobilized all their forces."


    Zhou Shi, the Seventh Rank King, breathed a sigh.


    Although the ck Abyss n is only a powerful n, there are also many Eighth Rank strong members among them, and even many existences beyond the Eighth Rank.


    If the ck Abyss n mobilizes all its forces, the human civilization evolvers on this battlefield will have no resistance at all.


    "We can only escape."


    Zhou Shi thought silently.


    This is also the advice given to them by the Free Goddess.


    While the ck Abyss n has not yet reacted, all human civilization evolvers should flee in different directions.


    This will greatly increase the survival rate due to the wide-angle issue.


    In the calctions of the Free Goddess, eight or nine out of ten human civilization evolvers will survive.


    Not far from the permanent spatial fissure.


    Lin Yuan had just begun hisprehension for a short while.


    He then heard a transmission from the armored man.


    "Brother,e back quickly, there''s something important to discuss," the armored man urged Lin Yuan to calmly walk out, trying not to attract the attention of other alien races.


    "Something important?" Lin Yuan''s expression remained unchanged as he stood up and left.


    Whoosh.


    Through the teleportation area.


    Lin Yuan returned to the floating mountain range.


    "Hmm?" Lin Yuan looked around and saw that arge number of evolvers had already arrived.


    "It must be a major event." Lin Yuan understood in his heart.


    "Everyone," the battlefieldmander, Zhou Shi, suddenly appeared and looked at the many evolvers, saying, "The ck Abyss n..."


    Zhou Shi roughly exined the ck Abyss n''s n, leaving most of the evolvers on the battlefield astonished and angry.


    What is this? Deploying over ten Eighth Rank evolvers for cleansing on a small-scale battlefield?


    "But rest assured," battlefieldmander Zhou Shi continued, "the n of the ck Abyss n, or the Insect race, has been detected in advance by our human civilization''s top divination master."


    "By making the best use of our time to escape, we should be able to survive eight or nine out of ten."


    Zhou Shi spoke up.


    For secret cleansing actions like those of the ck Abyss n, the most important thing is secrecy.


    Taking advantage of the fact that the human civilization has not yet reacted, deploying arge number of strong members to block the surroundings of the battlefield.


    By then, all human evolvers will be like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.


    But now.


    Being preemptively known by the human civilization.


    Even more importantly, the ck Abyss n does not know that the human civilization has already learned about it.


    Caught off guard, the strong members of the ck Abyss n cannot block such a vast area around the battlefield.


    So, after the calctions of the Free Goddess, the human civilization''s evolvers will survive eight or nine out of ten.


    "I will rush towards the direction of the ck Abyss n. You take advantage of this time to escape in any direction."


    "Remember, you must escape with all your strength."


    Seventh Rank King Zhou Shi said solemnly.


    His main body is elsewhere, so he is not afraid of falling, willing to stay behind to buy time for other evolvers.


    "What madness is the ck Abyss n up to?" Lin Yuan quickly thought to himself below.


    Is the ck Abyss n not afraid of retaliation from the human civilization afterwards?


    Lin Yuan nced around and found that most of the evolvers were discussing fervently, apparently all thinking that the ck Abyss n had gone crazy.


    "I should escape too." Lin Yuan sighed. Although the fall of the Yin spiritual avatar was not an unbearable loss, it was still better not to fall if possible.


    "Brother." At this moment, the armored man approached.


    "Do you want to go togetherter? You can follow behind me, it''s definitely safe," the armored man said eagerly, patting his chest.


    "No need." Lin Yuan shook his head. As a spiritual avatar, he was not limited by the physical body. At full strength, his speed was probably at the level of an Eighth Rank evolver.


    "Don''t be shy." The armored man thought Lin Yuan was just being modest and said without hesitation, "I¡ª"


    Suddenly.


    The floating mountain range beneath their feet began to tremble suddenly.


    "Everyone, escape immediately," the voice of battlefieldmander Zhou Shi echoed in everyone''s ears.


    Boom!


    All the barriers of the floating mountain range disappeared.


    Any evolver could freely enter and exit this ce.


    Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.


    Without hesitation, many evolvers began to flee in various directions.


    "Hmm?" The armored man was about to look at Lin Yuan when he saw Lin Yuan''s figure turn into a meteor, instantly crossing a hundred miles and disappearing from the armored man''s perception range.


    "Heck!? He is this fast?! Hey! Wait for me brother!!" The armored man looked at this scene in astonishment.

 Chapter 190

    Chapter 190


    On the other side of the battlefield, the solitary-horned figure of the ck Abyss n was watching intently.


    He had alreadymanded numerous strong members of the ck Abyss n to seal off various areas of the entire battlefield.


    Once the blockade wasplete, the entire battlefield would be a prison. At that point, he would personally take action to cleanse all the evolvers of human civilization.


    Suddenly¡ª


    In the distance, the suspended mountain range of the human civilization evolvers'' base rapidly rose into the air. It was hurtling towards the ck Abyss n''s direction.


    "Hmm?"


    The solitary-horned figure''s expression changed slightly.


    The suspended mountain range was the base of the human civilization on this battlefield. It was also a weapon that could be transformed into a fortress of war when necessary. However, now was clearly not the time for it.


    "What''s that?"The solitary-horned figure immediately noticed that along with the suspended mountain range hurtling towards them, countless human civilization evolvers were using various means to flee in all directions.


    "Damn it."


    The dark thunder flowing around the solitary-horned figure''s body suddenly boiled. It was obvious that their n, whether it was that of the ck Abyss n or the insect race, had been exposed. Otherwise, these human evolvers wouldn''t be directly fleeing.


    "Die."


    The solitary-horned figure took a step forward.


    Millions of miles in all directions were filled with dark thunder.


    With a sneer, the solitary-horned figure raised his right hand and pressed it towards the suspended mountain range approaching from afar.


    "Like ants."


    The solitary-horned figure''s gaze turned icy.


    In an instant, the suspended mountain range, which had already turned into a fortress of war, began to copse rapidly.


    "Hahaha."


    "Little ones of the ck Abyss n, I hope you can survive under the wrath of my human civilization!!"


    Inside the suspended mountain range, the seventh-ranked king, Zhou Shi,ughed wildly, and then the suspended mountain range copsed along with him.


    The suspended mountain range was too huge, and as a fortress of war, its target was too obvious. It could only stay behind to try to dy the ck Abyss n''s time.


    But obviously, the solitary-horned figure''s strength was too terrifying, almost reaching the peak of the eighth rank, and he directly crushed the suspended mountain range.


    "Everyone''s fled?"


    The solitary-horned figure looked towards the countless human evolvers fleeing in all directions.


    The solitary-horned figure had a high realm and had long understood the "Teleportation" spatial model in the core space model.


    However, in the battlefield of the aliens, the spatial fluctuations were obvious.


    Whether it was wormhole traversal or spatial teleportation, it was easy to producerge errors, and one might even get lost in the depths of space. So the solitary-horned figure could only rely on flight to chase.


    But many human evolvers fled in different directions, in all directions, up and down. Even if the solitary-horned figure really chased after one, by the time he returned, the other evolvers would have run far away.


    Once the evolvers left the battlefield range, they could control their spacecrafts to travel through wormholes. At that point, the ck Abyss n would have no more ability to pursue them.


    It was precisely because of this that the decision was made to let the human evolvers escape. Because this would allow eighty to ny percent of them to survive.


    As for the loss of many resources on the battlefield? It didn''t matter much.


    Red Kun Main Star.


    Deep within the Thirteenth Peak Great Hall.


    Lin Yuan was sitting cross-legged.


    "The ck Abyss n."


    Lin Yuan looked into the distance towards the direction of the alien battlefield.


    He naturally sensed everything that the Yin Spirit had experienced.


    "The higher-ups of the human civilization should be aware of this."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    In the battlefield of the aliens, one could freely log into the virtual world and connect with the Free Goddess. In this situation, the movements of the ck Abyss n must have been leaked.


    "The ck Abyss n. The insect race.."


    Lin Yuan didn''t know the specific details, just specting. The behavior of the ck Abyss n on this side must be rted to the insect race, or it might as well be instigated by the insect race.


    "If it''s really rted to the insect race, then it won''t be just one battlefield where this kind of thing happens."


    Lin Yuan spected in his heart that a peak-level tribe like the insect race wouldn''t do anything meaningless. Simply capturing a small alien battlefield? That would have almost no impact on the overall battlefield situation.


    Alien battlefield.


    "Escape, escape, escape."


    "Escape."


    Millions, tens of millions of human evolvers, including many sixth and seventh rank evolvers, were frantically fleeing.


    Faced with the order of the battlefieldmander, these evolvers had no doubts.


    Especially when they saw that Commander Zhou Shi was driving the suspended mountain range, a fortress of war, towards the ck Abyss n''s direction, only to see it shatter into pieces, they became even more desperate to flee.


    Among the fleeing evolvers were many sixth and even seventh rank evolvers, some of whom had their own main bodies.


    But even if the main body was safe outside, temporarily, if the avatar died, it would still take a lot of time and effort to re-condense, and many treasures and weapons carried on the body would be lost.


    So unless it was a desperate moment, no one would voluntarily give up.


    "Withoutplete blockade, at most only one or two percent of human evolvers can be stopped."


    The solitary-horned figure looked towards the human evolvers fleeing in all directions and quickly analyzed the conclusion in his mind.


    The reaction speed of human civilization was too fast. If they waited a little longer, until the ck Abyss n''s blockade waspletely formed, all the human civilization evolvers would not be able to escape.


    Just now, ording to the blockade range set by the ck Abyss n, probably only one or two percent of the evolvers could be retained.


    "Try to kill those sixth and seventh rank evolvers as much as possible," the solitary-horned figure quickly made a decision.


    With the premise of only being able to retain one or two percent of human evolvers, it naturally made the most sense to keep the sixth and seventh rank evolvers. As for the other fourth and fifth rank ones, let them escape.


    "Xue You, in the southeast region where you are, thirty degrees to the lower left corner, there will be a seventh rank human passing by in ten minutes. Kill him."


    The solitary-horned figure''s gaze broadened as he began to lock onto those powerful human evolvers.


    The order from the insect race was to kill as many human evolvers as possible, and the more human evolvers died by their hands, the higher their rewards would be, especially if they were of higher ranks.


    At the edge of the alien battlefield, Lin Yuan turned into a streak of light and quickly fled outside the battlefield.


    "No dy at all?"


    Lin Yuan nced back and saw the suspended mountain range crumbling without suspense. Even the seventh-ranked king, Zhou Shi, inside it, didn''t make a fuss.


    "If I try to dy, it probably won''t have any effect, right?"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself that the ck Abyss n was exerting all its strength, and it wasn''t something that seventh-ranked evolvers could stop. Even ordinary eighth ranks probably couldn''t hold out for long.


    "This is the alien battlefield."


    "Full of dangers, all kinds of situations can arise at any time," Lin Yuan sighed.


    This time he entered the alien battlefield, he was already careful and low-key enough, never engaging with the aliens.


    But even so, he still ended up in this fleeing situation. This was just a small-scale alien battlefield. If it were a medium orrge-scale one, there would be even more variables.


    Even beings as powerful as the Red Kun Star Lord had to be cautious in arge-scale alien battlefield.


    "With my speed, if I fully exert myself, I can easily approach eighth rank evolvers, even surpassing ordinary eighth ranks."


    Lin Yuan''s current speed only reached the peak of the sixth rank, not even as fast as seventh rank evolvers.


    The reason for this was that he was worried that bursting out too fast would attract the attention of the ck Abyss n''s strong members. For example, that solitary-horned figure.


    If he saw Lin Yuan''s speed reach the level of eighth rank, would he personallye after him? So Lin Yuan''s disyed speed was considered above average among the countless fleeing evolvers.


    If Commander Zhou Shi was right and eighty to ny percent of the human evolvers could survive by scattering and fleeing, then Lin Yuan probably had a high chance of escaping.


    Speeding too fast could easily expose oneself and be targeted. In the southeast region of the battlefield, Xue You, a sturdy man, had a sharp gaze as he led many strong members of the ck Abyss n to guard the area.


    "There''s a group of fourth and fifth rank evolversing, no need to worry about them."


    Xue You''s target was clear. Killing a sixth rank evolver would earn more rewards from the insect race than killing hundreds of fourth and fifth rank onesbined.


    If they let a sixth or seventh rank evolver escape while chasing after the lower-ranked ones, it would be a loss. Besides, with the poption of the human civilization, the death of some fourth and fifth rank evolvers was almost insignificant.


    ording to the current poption of human civilization, the number of fourth and fifth rank evolvers who died naturally every day was more than those on the battlefield.


    "Hmm?"


    "There''s a seventh rank evolver escaping in this direction."


    Xue You''s eyes lit up as he looked towards a certain direction. In their area, the space was subtly distorted, and the aura was isted from the outside world, so the human evolver had no idea that there were strong members of the ck Abyss n ambushing nearby.


    "I''ll go."


    "You guys stay here." Xue You said. As an eighth rank powerhouse, it was naturally safer for him to deal with a seventh rank evolver.


    If he sent a fellow seventh ranker, they might be held back or even killed in return. With an eighth ranker against a seventh ranker, under the overwhelming advantage in realm, there would be no surprises.


    Swish. Xue You''s figure disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in front of the seventh rank evolver who was fleeing.


    "Human" Xue You''s gaze was pitiful.


    "I don''t want to kill you either, but this is themand from the insect race."


    CThis seventh rank evolver, who still didn''t know what was happening, died at the hands of Xue You. Dealing with a seventh ranker as an eighth ranker was too easy.


    Along with the interception and killing of numerous sixth and seventh rank evolvers, more fourth and fifth rank evolvers managed to escape.


    Due to the location of the suspended mountain range not being at the center of the battlefield, some evolvers chose directions closer to the battlefield to flee, which allowed them to leave the battlefield faster.


    "I''ll be leaving the battlefield soon."


    Lin Yuan turned into a shooting star, observing his surroundings and thinking quickly. If he burst out with all his strength, he would have left the battlefield long ago.


    But at the same time, he might attract the attention of stronger aliens and be intercepted.


    "Almost there."


    Lin Yuan maintained a speed close to the peak of the sixth rank. As long as he escaped the alien battlefield and arrived in the stable space of the cosmic starry sky, he would immediately take out the spacecraft and travel through the wormhole.


    At that time, his Yin Spirit would be safe. In the southeast region of the battlefield, Xue You continued to observe his surroundings.


    "That human evolver, his speed is approaching the peak of the sixth rank. We can''t let him leave alive." Xue You noticed Lin Yuan and spoke up.


    "Chang Yu, you go kill him"


    Xue You, the sturdy man, ordered. His eighth rank strength was meant to deal with human seventh rank evolvers.


    As for sixth rank evolvers? There was no need for that. Let the other seventh rank members of the ck Abyss n handle it.


    Eighth rank against seventh rank, there was no doubt. Seventh rank against sixth rank, likewise no doubt.


    Under the overwhelming advantage in realm, even the top geniuses of the human civilization would find it difficult to resist.


    "Yes."


    "Xue You, I''ll take care of this human for you."


    Chang Yu, a seventh rank member of the ck Abyss n, licked his lips. Killing these human evolvers not only earned them rewards from the insect race but also allowed them to obtain many treasures and weapons from the opponents.


    On usual battlefields, their seventh rank aliens were always entangled by the human seventh rank evolvers, leaving no chance for them to dominate. Chang Yu, the seventh rank powerhouse, disappeared and appeared in front of Lin Yuan''s escape route.


    "Hehe, just die obediently in my hands," Chang Yu, the seventh rank powerhouse, patiently waited there, waiting for Lin Yuan to enter a certain range before making his move to crush him.


    "Hmm?" Lin Yuan''s mind stirred as he sensed the change in the aura ahead.


    "What to do?" Lin Yuan frowned. ording to the sensing range of a sixth rank evolver, he couldn''t detect the seventh rank alien.


    "Just pretend not to know." Lin Yuan decided to maintain his escape route. After all, if he changed direction now, the seventh rank alien would notice, and he could also change direction to intercept.


    Boom!


    The terrifying speed tore through the air. Soon, it entered the attack range of the seventh rank alien.


    "Hahaha, human, prepare to die." Chang Yu, the seventh rank alien, revealed himself and raised his right hand to strike down at Lin Yuan.


    "It should be over."


    From afar, Xue You nced in this direction, already pronouncing Lin Yuan''s death sentence. Chang Yu''s strength might not match that of a human seventh rank king-level evolver, but dealing with a sixth rank peak evolver should be a piece of cake.


    "Not good, Brother Yuan is in danger."


    In another direction, the armored man noticed this and felt a sudden tightness in his heart. Originally, he nned to escape with Lin Yuan, but Lin Yuan''s speed was extremely fast, so after seeing Lin Yuan move, he followed suit.


    However, the armored man was just following behind Lin Yuan. Due to his slow speed, the distance between the two was increasing.


    They were now separated by nearly a million kilometers.


    "It''s a seventh rank alien." The armored man''s heart turned cold. With a seventh rank alien ambushing ahead, he couldn''t think of any other possibility for Lin Yuan to survive.


    Boom!


    Facing the suddenly appearing seventh rank alien, Lin Yuan''s speed didn''t slow down in the slightest as he continued to charge forward.


    "Hahaha, scared stiff, aren''t you?" Chang Yu of the ck Abyss n smirked, thinking that Lin Yuan was too frightened to react.


    "Die." The seventh rank alien Chang Yu had no intention of holding back as he struck out with all his might towards Lin Yuan.


    However, in the next moment.


    Threads of Yin power suddenly drifted around.


    The strike from the seventh rank alien Chang Yu, under the erosion of Yin power, quickly dissipated.


    "Huh?" The seventh rank alien Chang Yu blinked, feeling puzzled.


    Boom!!


    At this moment, Lin Yuan, who was fleeing at the peak of the sixth rank, suddenly increased his speed tenfold or even a hundredfold.


    In an instant, he crushed past the seventh rank alien Chang Yu.


    "No¡ª" Chang Yu, the seventh rank alien, showed fear on his face, and his figure directly shattered.


    Lin Yuan flew past, casually collecting his storage treasures.


    "What the fuck!?"


    From afar, Xue You looked over with some disbelief.


    "This speed?" Xue You''s face changed.


    "Hmm?" On another part of the battlefield, the solitary-horned figure also noticed what was happening and nced over.

    ...


    "Seven-rank peak? No, this speed has already reached the threshold of the eighth rank," the horned man judged inwardly.


    "It should be a seven-rank peak evolver who excels in speed," the horned man gazed into the direction Lin Yuan was escaping, "Impressive, to think that he managed to deceive me."


    If Lin Yuan had revealed such strength from the beginning, or such speed, the horned man would have immediately ordered the strong members of the ck Abyss n to intercept him in advance.


    But Lin Yuan didn''t.


    Instead, he disguised himself as a normal sixth-rank evolver.


    This sounds simple, but it''s difficult to execute.


    The most crucial point is to deceive the perception of the horned man.As the Evolvers fled during the Floating Mountain''s ascent, the horned man quickly determined the positions of many seven-rank Evolvers.


    However, Lin Yuan''s Yin Spirit is a Primordial Spirit.


    Without a physical body, his aura and the power of Yin are almost integrated, even for a powerful individual like the horned man, it''s normal to overlook him with a rough perception.


    "It''s toote."


    The horned man saw that Lin Yuan had already left the range of the alien battlefield, realizing that even if he pursued personally, he might not seed.


    After leaving the range of the alien battlefield, human Evolvers can operate cosmic ships and traverse wormholes.


    "Damn it."


    "He actually killed Chang Yu."


    The stocky man Xue You was furious and was about to chase after Lin Yuan.


    "No need to chase."


    At this moment, the horned man''s voice sounded in Xue You''s ear.


    "Continue to besiege other human seven-rank Evolvers."


    The horned man instructed.


    Letting Lin Yuan, this seven-rank peak evolver, escape was indeed regrettable.


    But there are still many human seven-rank Evolvers who have not yet escaped, they are the primary targets for the ck Abyss n.


    "Yes."


    Xue You took a deep breath and returned to his original position.


    "I actually managed to escape too?"


    The armored man followed Lin Yuan''s direction of escape and surprisingly managed to leave the alien battlefield without obstruction.


    "It''s Brother Yuan Yin."


    The armored man immediately understood why he could escape so smoothly.


    ording to the situation just now, as a sixth-rank evolver like him, he should have received special attention from the ck Prison Alien n.


    At least, they would dispatch a seven-rank evolver to intercept him.


    But Lin Yuan''s formidable means, directly killing a seven-rank strongman of the ck Abyss n, resulted in a gap in this aspect of blockade.


    Thus, he managed to escape so easily.


    "Brother Yuan Yin''s strength is unexpectedly strong, probably close to dominance."


    After the armored man finished rejoicing, he thought of the scene just now when Lin Yuan killed the seven-rank alien.


    So decisive, to the point where the opponent couldn''t even react, it''s simply unbelievable.


    That seven-rank alien probably had the strength of a marquis rank,


    With such strength, who could easily kill him except for a seven-rank king?


    "I was thinking of letting Brother Yuan Yin follow behind me for protection?"


    The armored man blushed a bit, considering the strength Lin Yuan disyed just now,


    It''s probably not him protecting Lin Yuan, but Lin Yuan protecting him back.


    When Lin Yuan first arrived at the alien battlefield, he was the one who greeted him.


    The armored man had invited Lin Yuan to go to the central battlefield with him to kill aliens, but was rejected. He thought Lin Yuan''s strength was average, or he wasn''t good atbat.


    Now it seems, that was simply outrageous.


    "Hurry up and traverse the wormhole."


    The armored man immediately took out a spaceship from his storage ring, and then activated the wormhole traversal. The void disappeared quickly.


    Sixty light-years away from the alien battlefield.


    The force of space began to fluctuate faintly.


    A ck spaceship appeared.


    Lin Yuan drove the spaceship, heading non-stop towards the human territory.


    Wormhole traversal has a cooldown time, and under normal circumstances, continuous wormhole traversal is impossible.


    "My currentbat power, under a sneak attack, has the possibility to kill a seven-rank marquis."


    Lin Yuan began to review everything that had happened just now.


    That seven-rank alien should be equivalent to a human seven-rank marquis, logically speaking, facing Lin Yuan''s Yin Primordial Spirit, even if they were not evenly matched, they should be able to struggle for a while.


    But the other party underestimated Lin Yuan.


    Which led to being directly killed.


    It should be noted that this was only Lin Yuan''s Yin Primordial Spirit.


    After reaching the seventh rank, due to the opening of the inner world within the body, Lin Yuan''s original strength was maximally enhanced.


    As for the two Primordial Spirits, they were much weaker.


    Even so, they could still sweep ordinary seven-rank marquises.


    If the original body took action, even a seven-rank king would be suppressed.


    After all, among the seventh-rank Evolvers, the power of the world waspletely overpowered.


    "Continue to traverse."


    Soon, the cooldown time for wormhole traversal was over.


    Lin Yuan immediately began a new round of traversal.


    A day or twoter.


    Lin Yuan officially entered the territory of human civilization.


    Until this moment, Lin Yuan slightly breathed a sigh of relief.


    Even if the ck Abyss n goes crazy, they dare not chase into the territory of human civilization.


    And even if it''s absolutely necessary, the Insect n dare not enter the territory of human civilization because it means escting the war.


    Whether it''s human civilization or other peak tribes in the cosmic void, the reason for opening up alien battlefields is to constrain warfare as much as possible to the battlefield.


    If there is no constraint, invading each other''s territories will result in much greater losses.


    "Hurry back."


    When the cooldown was over, Lin Yuan opened the wormhole traversal again.


    Alien battlefield.


    The killing gradually subsided.


    The horned man''s eyes were cold, and the stocky man Xue You was reporting beside him.


    "Sir, in this blockade and siege, a total of thirty-six human civilization seven-rank Evolvers were killed, five hundred seventy-two six-rank Evolvers, and two thousand eight hundred thirty-seven five-rank and four-rank Evolvers."


    Although the eyes of the ck Abyss n were focused on the six and seven-rank Evolvers, they wouldn''t actively intercept four and five-rank Evolvers.


    But if four or five-rank Evolvers actively entered the attack range of the ck Abyss n''s strong, killing them would be a natural thing to do.


    "Among the thirty-six seven-rank Evolvers, fifteen have the ability to create avatars, and among the five hundred seventy-two six-rank Evolvers, one hundred twenty-seven have the ability to create avatars," Xue You continued.


    A small number of seven-rank Evolvers, and most eight-rank Evolvers, besidesprehending spatial rules, are also involved in causal rules.


    Although causal rules are not as fundamental as spatial rules, they are unpredictable.


    Having a deep understanding of the causal rules will lead to many strange methods, such as cursing techniques.


    Cursing techniques are just one of the derived methods of causal rules, and this rule has many uses.


    For example, when Xue You kills an Evolver, at the moment when the killing intent surges, a cause and effect are produced between the two.


    If the kill is thorough, the person dies and the effect disappears, Xue You will not feel any cause and effect with this Evolver, so he can determine that the opponent is dead.


    If after killing, he still feels a faint cause and effect, it can be concluded that the opponent has not died, and there is a high probability of having means such as avatars.


    "Hmm."


    The horned man nodded slightly at the words.


    Although it fell far short of the expectedplete cleansing of all human Evolvers.


    But to achieve such results was already not easy, at least twenty-one seven-rank Evolvers of human civilization died.


    With only a dozen seven-rank Evolvers left, even if the main body is still alive, if one avatar dies, the cost is already quite heavy.


    Red Kun''s main star. Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    "Not only did the alien battlefield with the designation C24763 encounter an alien purge, at the same time, there were also 5,463 other alien battlefields that also encountered purges?"


    Lin Yuan received relevant information, his brows slightly furrowed.


    "These 5,463 alien battlefields are all under the jurisdiction of the Insect n Alliance. Could it be that the Insect n really wants to engage in full-scale war with the human race?"


    Lin Yuan was puzzled.


    Generally speaking, peak tribes are very cautious.


    Whether it''s humans, insects, or other major peak tribes, they have proven their strength in the long years of war in the past.


    It is not realistic for one party topletely annihte the other.


    So the intensity of the war is also tacitly maintained within a certain range.


    "There must be a reason."


    Lin Yuan connected to the virtual world through consciousness.


    Personal space.


    Red-nosed Shi Feng walked out from the void.


    "Brother Thirteen."


    "If you want to know why the Insect n is going crazy, I happen to know some internal information."


    Red-nosed Shi Feng grinned, as a sixth-rank citizen and the founder of an evolutionary path, Red-nosed Shi Feng has a wide range of friends and deep connections.


    "What''s the reason?"


    Lin Yuan asked.


    Even if Red-nosed Shi Feng didn''t know, he nned to ask a few senior brothers, or simply ask the teacher, the Lord of Red Kun Star Domain.


    For such a big event affecting the situation of the alien battlefield, it''s normal for Lin Yuan to ask a few more questions out of curiosity.


    "It''s because of therge-scale alien battlefield."


    Red-nosed Shi Feng didn''t beat around the bush and said in a low voice.


    "Large-scale alien battlefield?"


    Lin Yuan''s mind shook slightly.


    There are over two million alien battlefields opened by humans and aliens.


    Among them, there are only over one hundredrge-scale alien battlefields.


    Large-scale alien battlefields are the battlefields where human civilization confronts other peak tribes.


    Even the strongest asionally cast their gaze onrge-scale alien battlefields and asionally intervene.


    "The reason the Insect n is targeting small and medium-sized battlefields is because something is about to happen on therge-scale battlefield designated as S111."


    Red-nosed Shi Feng said mysteriously.


    "The top diviners of the Insect n deduced that, shortly, on therge-scale battlefield designated as S111, within that permanent spatial crack, there will be a visitor from outside the sky."


    "More urately, it''s the corpse of an extraterrestrial visitor."


    "This corpse should be very important, important enough for the Insect n to want to enjoy it alone, ordering many tribes within the alliance to devote all their efforts to causing trouble for our human civilization."


    "So as to gain an advantage in the subsequent struggle for this corpse."


    Red-nosed Shi Feng said.


    "I see."


    Lin Yuan looked thoughtful.


    Therge-scale alien battlefield''s permanent spatial crack, often tens of millions or billions of miles in size, asionally hosts visitors from the outside world who enter the main world through such cracks.


    "What''s the oue then?" Lin Yuan asked.


    Who ended up with the corpse of the extraterrestrial visitor that drifted in from the spatial crack?


    "What else could it be?"


    "Since the Insect n could deduce this, how could our human civilization possibly be unaware?" Red-nosed Shi Feng shook his head. "Besides, the top powerhouses of several other major peak tribes have alsoe close, wanting to get a piece of the action."


    "Finally, that extraterrestrial visitor''s corpse was torn into several pieces, and our human civilization should have obtained a part of it too."


    After Red-nosed Shi Feng finished speaking, he added in surprise, "I wonder what''s so amazing about that corpse that even the top powerhouses are fighting over it?"


    "Well, that''s something to ask the top powerhouses," Lin Yuan shook his head.


    After chatting with Red-nosed Shi Feng for a few more moments,


    Lin Yuan disconnected from the virtual world and returned his consciousness to reality.


    "Did the Master summon me?"


    "Is it about the situation on the alien battlefield?"


    Lin Yuan suddenly received a message from the Lord of Red Kun, asking him toe along with the other senior brothers.


    With many tribes of the Insect n Alliance suddenly taking action on the battlefield, this matter definitely wouldn''t be let go so easily. Next, it would be time for human civilization to retaliate.


    Outside the crimson hall.


    Fourth Senior Brother, ZuoGe, Fifth Senior Brother, and other peak masters stood there chatting.


    They had also heard about what happened on the alien battlefield, and now the conversation was mostly centered around that topic.


    As they chatted, the topic shifted to Lin Yuan.


    "Ah, even though we consider ourselves to be Evolver geniuses, among the elite, whenpared to our younger junior brother..." Sixth Senior Brother sighed, still shocked by Lin Yuan''s advancement to the seventh rank.


    Seventh rank.


    This was the seventh rank.


    Not just some ordinary aplishment.


    To advance to this level just like that?


    "Indeed, how did our junior brother cultivate? Is he dreaming about practicing in seclusion and hardship?" Other senior brothers nced at each other, all expressing their amazement.


    The news of Thirteenth Peak Master advancing to the seventh rank had caused quite a stir outside, and within the Red Kun lineage, it was just as shocking and unbelievable.


    You see, the several peak masters who were taken in by the Lord of Red Kun as disciples definitely had unquestionable talent, worthy of the title of elite Evolver.


    Even though Big Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, and others advanced to the seventh rank, Fourth Senior Brother and other peak masters still had no doubt about themselves, believing that they would one day break through to the same level.


    Until they encountered Junior Brother Lin Yuan.


    "Junior Brother is here."


    Fourth Senior Brother, ZuoGe, and other peak masters seemed to sense something, smiles appearing on their faces as they looked towards the figure walking over from a distance, which was Lin Yuan.


    "Fourth Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother, Sixth Senior Brother," Lin Yuan greeted each of them.


    "Junior Brother, the Master is waiting for us inside. Let''s go in quickly," Fourth Senior Brother, ZuoGe, said.


    "Alright."


    Lin Yuan nodded and stepped into the crimson hall.


    Fourth Senior Brother, ZuoGe, and the other senior brothers followed suit.


    For some reason, Fourth Senior Brother and the others deliberatelygged half a step behind Lin Yuan, not walking side by side.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan seemed to notice something, stopping in his tracks and looking at the senior brothers.


    "Senior Brothers, there''s really no need for this." Lin Yuan couldn''t help but speak up, not feeling that advancing to the seventh rank made him superior in every way. Some things and some people still needed to be analyzed specifically.


    Lin Yuan had just joined the Red Kun lineage and be the Thirteenth Peak Master, and the senior brothers had been very considerate of him.


    "Junior Brother, don''t overthink it. We''re just walking with you, feeling some pressure," Fourth Senior Brother, ZuoGe, spoke frankly.


    "Okay."


    After thinking for a moment, Lin Yuan didn''t say much more and continued walking towards the depths of the pce.


    Fourth Senior Brother, ZuoGe, and the other senior brothers exchanged nces.


    With Lin Yuan''s current demonstrated talent and qualifications, in a few decades or centuries, he would probably have a chance to break through to the eighth rank.


    Bing a figure of the same level as the Lord of Red Kun.


    With such potential.


    Such talent.


    Such qualifications.


    There were countless geniuses in the world, but who would dare to stand shoulder to shoulder with you.

    Help me buy a newputer :D /DavidLord


    ...


    Crimson pce.


    Lin Yuan stood below with the twelve senior brothers.


    Master Red Kun (Red Kun Star Lord) sat on the high seat, and Lin Yuan nced at the other senior brothers.


    He noticed that they were all acting casually; Master Red Kun was not the type of teacher who demanded strict formality from his disciples. He favored an approachable demeanor.


    "Everyone is here," Master Red Kun nodded slightly.


    In reality, although there were many six-rank and seven-rank evolvers in the Red Kun Lineage, the core was naturallyposed of the star lord and the peak masters.


    In the Cosmic Human Alliance, the rtionship between master and disciple went beyond mere kinship. Once the master-disciple rtionship was established, it required genuinemitment.For thousands of years, aside from not encountering satisfactory evolvers, Master Red Kun had refrained from taking disciples because taking on a disciple meant more than just lip service.


    If a disciple caused trouble, Master Red Kun would have to intervene on their behalf.


    The evolvers who passed the Seven-Star Cave Trial and joined the Red Kun Lineage were not technically disciples of Master Red Kun, or even disciples of the twelve peak masters.


    They were merely members of the Red Kun Lineage, trained by the lineage and expected to serve it in return.


    "Let''s get straight to the point," Master Red Kun began.


    "You''ve all heard about the recent activities of the insect race on the battlefield. Although our top diviners detected their actions in advance, the losses were not insignificant. We cannot let this slide easily."


    Master Red Kun''s tone was calm. Taking the example of the C24763 battlefield where Lin Yuan''s Yin Spirit was located, the ck Abyss n aimed to cleanse the battlefield.


    Despite many human evolvers scattering to escape, many seven-rank and six-rank evolvers still perished. In the grand scheme of war, these losses might seem insignificant.


    However, such actions by the insect race couldn''t go unchallenged by human civilization.


    For over two million years in the cosmic sea, human civilization had been viewed by many other cosmic races as no different from demons. Daring to breach the rules of war andunch full-scale attacks was inviting the wrath of human civilization.


    "You will lead the army of evolvers to the C34123 battlefield," Master Red Kunmanded.


    "Second-inmand, you will lead the army of evolvers to the C459543 battlefield," he continued, giving out orders.


    Not only in the Wan Yang Star Domain, but in the entire Star Alliance and many other star domains, forces were being mobilized and directed to the battlefields.


    While human civilization had been initiating battles constantly since leaving its home, the intensity and frequency of these battles varied over time.


    Before this recent insect race operation, human civilization had not invested much in the battlefields. However, now that the insect race had broken the unspoken rules, human civilization would naturally respond in kind.


    "Once on the battlefield, all actions will be coordinated under the Goddess of Freedom" Master Red Kun dered.


    The Goddess of Freedom was the central authority for human expansion and invasion operations.


    With her guidance, every ounce of human strength could be fully unleashed, which was the key to human civilization''s sessive victories on the battlefield.


    "Master, what about me?" Lin Yuan couldn''t help asking when he noticed that all twelve senior brothers had been assigned tasks while he had been overlooked.


    "Come here and familiarize yourself with the situation," Master Red Kun shook his head. He had invited Lin Yuan primarily to limatize him to the atmosphere of the battlefield.


    As for sending Lin Yuan to the battlefield, Master Red Kun was reluctant. Despite being a talented evolver, Lin Yuan showed no signs of being held back by bottlenecks. It would be foolish to expose him to the dangers of the battlefield at this time.


    "Junior brother, once you cultivate an avatar, you can go to the battlefield," the eldest senior brother said with a smile.


    The twelve senior brothers, including Master Red Kun, were unaware of Lin Yuan''s Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit, which were akin to two ''clones''. Although having Yin and Yang Spirits was not unique, it raised suspicions regarding Lin Yuan''s path of martial evolution.


    "Master, what exactly happened on therge battlefield, and what was the situation with the corpse of the extraterrestrial guest that drifted in from the permanent spatial rift?" Third senior brother asked, curious.


    The insect race''s breach of the unspoken rules was motivated by the appearance of this extraterrestrial guest''s corpse.


    This corpse had attracted the attention of several powerful beings from other major cosmic civilizations, who had personally intervened and eventually torn the corpse into pieces.


    The situation on therge battlefield, named No. S111, where powerful beings had intervened, could not be concealed. Therefore, many people were very curious about this corpse.


    An item capable of inciting powerful beings to fight over it was extremely rare. At the level of these powerful beings, every action was a manifestation of universal principles, and external objects were unnecessary.


    Master Red Kun pondered for a moment before addressing the inquiry, and Lin Yuan also listened attentively.


    Beyond the universe, there are chaotic streams of void that can be divided into different regions based on their intensity.


    During Lin Yuan''s fifth transmigration, the chaotic void outside the Immortal Dao world where he found himself was not too harsh; even a seventh-rank power could barely survive.


    Nevertheless, Lin Yuan was unwilling to venture too far from the Immortal Dao world and would asionally return to rest.


    As for the chaotic void outside the main world, specifically the C24763 battlefield, Lin Yuan observed the permanent spatial rift and inferred that its intensity far exceeded that of the Immortal Dao world.


    The oppressive aura that destroyed everything made Lin Yuan''s scalp tingle.


    Indeed, the Red Kun Lineage''s records revealed that even the undefeated eighth-rank evolver, Master Red Kun, dared not easily enter the rift.


    The fact that the extraterrestrial guest''s corpse could withstand the chaotic void and enter the main world intact, maintaining its shape even in death without being torn apart, was truly baffling.


    Inrge-scale alien battlefields, extraterrestrial guests often entered through spatial rifts, but they were always alive, using various methods or even weapons and treasures to resist the erosion of the chaotic void.


    To rely solely on physical strength to withstand the chaotic void beyond the main world¡ªhow strong would one''s body have to be?


    "I don''t know much about this matter," Master Red Kun shook his head. It seemed that only the powerful beings and top diviners knew the secrets of the corpse.


    "Oh, I see," Third Senior Brother replied disappointedly. He had hoped that the master would have some insider information.


    "Alright. You may all leave now," Master Red Kun waved his hand. "Prepare yourselves. It''s time for the counterattack of our human civilization."


    "Yes," the senior brothers nodded and left the crimson hall.


    "Yes," Lin Yuan also intended to leave.


    At that moment, Master Red Kun''s voice rang in his ears.


    "Good disciple, you stay."


    In the crimson hall, only Lin Yuan and Master Red Kun remained.


    Master Red Kun looked at Lin Yuan, his thoughts filled with emotion.


    Before meeting Lin Yuan, Master Red Kun had thought that teaching disciples was a very difficult task. Different disciples had different characteristics, advantages, or disadvantages, and teaching had to be tailored ordingly to maximize their potential.


    However, with Lin Yuan, Master Red Kun found that teaching disciples was not as difficult as he had imagined. In fact, it was quite simple. Since epting Lin Yuan as his disciple, he hadn''t done much, yet Lin Yuan had already reached the seventh rank.


    "Normally," Master Red Kun began, "after you reach the sixth rank, I would give you some treasures."


    For evolvers, the sixth rank was a critical period. When the twelve peak masters reached the sixth rank, they also received ''gifts'' prepared by Master Red Kun.


    "This time, I intended to give you a seventh-rank treasure. However, you''ve progressed too quickly, and I haven''t had time to choose one. You''ve already reached the seventh rank," Master Red Kun said somewhat helplessly.


    "Gifts" needed to be customized, and what was highly valued at the sixth rank would naturally decrease in value at the seventh rank.


    "Master," Lin Yuan blinked.


    In fact, he had already been suppressing his speed of advancement to the seventh rank. If he hadn''t aimed to achieve a perfect seventh rank, he could have broken through to the seventh rank shortly after finishing his fifth transmigration half a year ago.


    "Now that you''re at the seventh rank, under normal circumstances, I should prepare a seventh-rank treasure for you. But I think you won''t stay at the seventh rank for long, at most a few hundred years," Master Red Kun continued.


    "In that case, a seventh-rank treasure wouldn''t be of much help to you. In a few hundred years, how much could it assist you?" Master Red Kun shook his head.


    "So this time, I n to go straight to the point."


    "From the sixth rank, to the seventh rank, and even to the future eighth rank, all ounted for."


    With a flick of his hand, Master Red Kun revealed a fist-sized irregr metal floating in the air.


    As soon as this irregr metal appeared, it began to subtly influence the surrounding area, even causing the spatial energy to fluctuate slowly.


    "What is this?" Lin Yuan observed carefully. This irregr metal gave him a special feeling, making him almost unable to resist the desire for it.


    To obtain it.


    He must obtain it.


    "Hmm?" Lin Yuan''s mind stirred slightly.


    All distractions quickly vanished.


    "This object," Lin Yuan''s eyes widened in amazement. After staring at it for a while, he felt its inexplicable influence.


    "This is called ''Primordial Essence Gold.'' Back then, I fought with several other powerful beings for hundreds of years just to obtain it. If I hadn''t timely retreated to the territory of human civilization, I''m afraid it would have attracted the intervention of ninth-rank aliens" Master Red Kun said with a smile.


    "This..." Lin Yuan couldn''t help but hold his breath.


    Master Red Kun was an undefeated eighth-rank existence.


    What is meant by being invincible at the eighth rank? It doesn''t mean that Master Red Kun has no opponents at the eighth rank, but rather that at the eighth rank, in a one-on-one situation, nobody canpletely defeat him.


    Of course, this statement isn''t entirely urate. If a certain eighth-rank evolver wielded an ultimate weapon, Master Red Kun would probably have to flee.


    However, how many ultimate weapons are there? And even if Master Red Kun fled, it wouldn''t mean his demise.


    When Master Red Kun mentioned fighting with other eighth-rank extraterrestrials for hundreds of years, it was undoubtedly because those eighth-rank extraterrestrials were also invincible at the eighth rank.


    To make an invincible eighth-rank evolver risk their lives and even attract the attention of ninth-rank aliens...


    "Master, this is too precious, I can''t ept it," Lin Yuan said.


    Although he didn''t know what ''Primordial Essence Gold'' was, from Master Red Kun''s description alone, he knew that its value definitely reached the ninth-rank level.


    "Although Primordial Essence Gold is precious, it''s of no use to me," Master Red Kun shook his head.


    What he craved most now was stepping into the ninth rank. As for Primordial Essence Gold, while it could indeed enhance his strength further with some effort, improving his strength by a point or two when he was already invincible at the eighth rank wouldn''t have much practical significance.


    "In that case, thank you, Master," Lin Yuan expressed his gratitude.


    Previously, the ''Rule Crystal'' that Master Red Kun had given him allowed evolvers toprehend the fire rules.


    The Rule Crystal was part of Master Red Kun''s collection, so giving it to Lin Yuan was inconsequential.


    But just from Lin Yuan''s initial feeling about Primordial Essence Gold, it far surpassed the Rule Crystal.


    "Primordial Essence Gold is a growth-oriented treasure, best nurtured at the seventh rank."


    "Its most precious aspect, aside from its growth-oriented nature, is its malleability. When you nurture Primordial Essence Gold, you can shape it ording to your desires, whether it''s into an offensive weapon, a defensive weapon, and so on," Master Red Kun continued.


    "In theory, the limit of Primordial Essence Gold depends on the evolver''s limit. If you reach the eighth rank in the future, you can elevate Primordial Essence Gold to an eighth-rank quality. If you can breakthrough to the ninth rank, you can continue to elevate it."


    Master Red Kun looked at Lin Yuan.


    Feeling a little morefortable, he no longer needed to worry about Lin Yuan''s rapid progress this time.


    "I''ll send you an email with the specific nurturing methods for Primordial Essence Gold. It will provide detailed instructions," Master Red Kun said.


    "Yes," Lin Yuan nodded.


    "Alright then," Master Red Kun said, his thoughts shifting slightly.


    The irregr metal floating in front of him flew towards Lin Yuan.


    Lin Yuan reached out and grasped it.


    "This feeling?" Lin Yuan marveled inwardly.


    At first nce, Primordial Essence Gold appeared to be a metal and should be incredibly hard.


    But in reality, after taking hold of it, Lin Yuan''s initial impression of Primordial Essence Gold was that it was soft.


    It felt like a ball, slightly pressing on it would cause it to deform.


    "Truly miraculous," Lin Yuan observed repeatedly, continuously touching it.


    "That''s enough," Master Red Kun waved his hand. "You can study it further when you return. If you have any questions, you cane to me."


    "Yes," Lin Yuan put away the Primordial Essence Gold and left the crimson pce.

    Help me buy a newputer :D /DavidLord


    ...


    Carrying the primordial essence gold that was enough to provoke the desperate battle of Eighth Rank Invincible powerhouses, Lin Yuan quickly returned to the grand hall of the Thirteenth Peak.


    Upon his return, Lin Yuan took out the primordial essence gold and continued to observe it.


    "How to use."


    "Teacher''s ''mail'' has arrived."


    Lin Yuan connected his consciousness to the virtual world and opened the ''mail'' to read.


    "To nurture the primordial essence gold, first you must acknowledge it with a drop of blood. Here, ''drop of blood'' does not refer to ordinary blood, but blood that contains soul fragments."


    Lin Yuan looked pensive.In the primary world, the soul was the most fundamental thing. As for the physical body, there were methods of possession; the body could be changed, but the soul could not.


    "Let''s begin."


    Lin Yuan stretched out his hand, forcing out a drop of blood.


    This drop of blood, round and viscous, would probably have been absorbed back into the skin if Lin Yuan hadn''t controlled it, as soon as it emerged.


    With a hiss.


    As Lin Yuan''s drop of blood fell.


    It was quickly absorbed by the primordial essence gold.


    Suddenly.


    Lin Yuan vaguely felt a subtle connection between himself and the primordial essence gold.


    "Next is nurturing."


    Lin Yuan grabbed the primordial essence gold, only to see this irregr metal flowing like water, merging into Lin Yuan''s body along his skin.


    "Hmm?"


    After the primordial essence gold entered Lin Yuan''s body.


    As if instinctively, it rapidly gathered into his dantian''s Qi Sea, the small world within his body.


    Hum.


    Strands of world power, centered around the internal world, slowly spread out towards Lin Yuan''s limbs and bones, enhancing his physical body.


    Some of the world power, after passing through the primordial essence gold, did not diminish in the slightest. Instead, it gained an extremely pure aura.


    And the primordial essence gold was also tempered slightly.


    "Now, can I manipte the primordial essence gold in the direction I want?" Lin Yuan carefully observed the changes in the primordial essence gold, silently pondering.


    The primordial essence gold had two main characteristics.


    One was its growth potential.


    Even if Lin Yuan advanced to the Ninth Rank in the future, it would still be useful.


    The second was its malleability.


    As long as Lin Yuan wished, he could shape the primordial essence gold into any weapon.


    Offensive weapon? Defensive weapon? Soul defense weapon?


    All were possible.


    "However, to enhance the level of the primordial essence gold, it will take a considerable amount of time for nurturing."


    Lin Yuan frowned slightly.


    Considerable time?


    In the eyes of the Red Kun Star Lord, no matter how fast Lin Yuan''s cultivation speed was, it would inevitably slow down after reaching the Eighth Rank.


    Any life, after reaching the Eighth Rank, would go through a long period of dormancy.


    By then, Lin Yuan would have plenty of time to nurture the primordial essence gold.


    "Perhaps, I can bring the primordial essence gold into the transmigrated world for nurturing?" Lin Yuan suddenly thought.


    By consuming fifty strands of Boundary Breaking Source Power, Lin Yuan could transmigrate his physical body.


    But if he only carried a weapon, the consumption of Boundary Breaking Source Power would be significantly reduced.


    "A strand of Boundary Breaking Source Power."


    Lin Yuan''s mind sank into the depths of his mind, conducting a simple munication'' with the Gate of the Myriad Worlds, and came to a conclusion.


    Since Lin Yuan reached the Sixth Rank, he found that he could have some rough ''interaction'' with the Gate of the Myriad Worlds.


    "A strand of Boundary Breaking Source Power should be sufficient."


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes, pondering.


    To transmigrate with the primordial essence gold, he would need to expend an additional strand of Boundary Breaking Source Power.


    And for Lin Yuan, a strand of Boundary Breaking Source Power was nothing more than three hundred and thirty-three days. No, with the blessing of the permanent spatial rift, Lin Yuan''s speed of umting Boundary Breaking Source Power had already decreased to two hundred and ny days.


    Two hundred and ny days, for Lin Yuan, a Seventh Rank Evolver, was too short; the average lifespan of a Seventh Rank Evolver could reach hundreds of thousands of years.


    Moreover, there were many ''life-extending'' methods in the Human Civilization Alliance.


    Thinking of the Boundary Breaking Source Power, Lin Yuan nned to select a new extraterrestrial battlefield with a permanent spatial rift.


    Let the Yang Spirit and Yin Spirit go there to elerate the umtion of Boundary Breaking Source Power.


    "If the Yang Spirit and Yin Spirit are under the permanent spatial rifts of different battlefields, will the speed of umting Boundary Breaking Source Power double?"


    Lin Yuan''s heart raced.


    For the time being, Lin Yuan did not have the idea of going to medium-sized orrge-scale battlefields to findrger permanent spatial rifts.


    Because the Wisdom Goddess and the other two goddesses advised Lin Yuan not to go.


    The medium-sized extraterrestrial battlefield was already under the scrutiny of the supremely powerful, and there were traces of Ninth Rank aliens.


    The art of creating clones was indeed a powerful means of survival, but it was not foolproof. Faced with certain attack methods, such as the Art of Curse Killing.


    Or memory contamination? It''s unstoppable.


    The former is easy to understand, as it uses the principle of cause and effect to kill the evolver through the clone.


    As for thetter, if the clone''s memory is contaminated, the evolver''s memory is likely to be affected as well, which is a very terrifying thing.


    Of course.


    Whether it''s the Art of Curse Killing or memory contamination, they wouldn''t necessarily affect Lin Yuan, a Seventh Rank Evolver.


    For the sake of the face of the supremely powerful, they wouldn''t necessarily make a move against such a little guy like Lin Yuan, but it might be different for Ninth Rank aliens.


    "It''s not necessary to rush to the medium-sized extraterrestrial battlefield; the small-sized ones are already sufficient," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Small-sized extraterrestrial battlefields could tolerate up to Eighth Rank powerhouses at most; as for Ninth Rank powerhouses? It was impossible for them to enter small-sized extraterrestrial battlefields.


    This was a rule established by the Human Civilization and the myriad races of the universe.


    In Battlefield C24763, the ck Abyss n mobilized all their forces, breaking the agreement with the Human Civilization and attacking human evolvers. The most powerful force they deployed was just an Eighth Rank Invincible solitary horned man.


    It should be noted that the ck Abyss n had Ninth Rank powerhouses presiding over them, and there was more than one.


    "Which two battlefields should I choose this time?"


    To verify his spection, Lin Yuan nned to send both the Yin Spirit and the Yang Spirit out for a try.


    "Let''s go with these two battlefields."


    After some contemtion, Lin Yuan''s criteria for selecting the battlefields was primarily the presence of a permanent spatial rift.


    Without a permanent spatial rift, it would be impossible to elerate the umtion of Boundary Breaking Source Power, which would significantly reduce Lin Yuan''s gains.


    Secondly, the intensity of warfare between human civilization and the aliens on this battlefield should not be too high.


    Among the over two million extraterrestrial battlefields opened up by human civilization, each battlefield had a different situation.


    Some battlefields saw human evolvers and aliens fighting fiercely, and in such cases, there was simply no possibility of staying near a permanent spatial rift for long.


    "You can go."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts stirred slightly.


    The Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit emerged from his body.


    Swoosh.


    Two pitch-ck cosmic ships appeared.


    The Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit piloted the cosmic ships, heading towards the star tform outside the Red Kun main star.


    The Thirteen Peaks where Lin Yuan was located was one of the most prosperous areas of the Red Kun main star, with arge number of ships taking off every moment.


    As the master of the Thirteenth Peak, even if Lin Yuan didn''t say anything, there would still be arge number of evolvers attaching themselves to him.


    And all of this, Lin Yuan left to Fang Qing to manage.


    "The number of practitioners in the Martial Dao Evolution Path."


    Lin Yuan nced at it and found that the number of practitioners practicing the First Rank Martial Dao Evolution had skyrocketed, several times more than half a year ago.


    "It seems that the videos I released were quite useful."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly. He had spent quite a bit of energy recording those videos.


    But as long as there were gains, everything was worthwhile.


    "I wonder how the Martial Dao Evolution Path will rank on the Red Kun Evolution Ranking after the Seventh Rank Martial Dao Evolution Path is opened."


    Lin Yuan felt somewhat anticipative.


    Currently, Lin Yuan had only just started the Seventh Rank Martial Dao Evolution Path; there was still a considerable distance to go before theplete Seventh Rank Martial Dao Evolution Path was opened.


    However.


    It could be foreseen that the Seventh Rank Martial Dao Evolution Path would have a qualitative impact on the Martial Dao Evolution Path, and its influence would be greater than Lin Yuan''splete overhaul of the Martial Dao Evolution Path, removing its limitations to just Yin and Yang.


    Because the Seventh Rank Martial Dao Evolution Path Lin Yuan was opening up theoretically had the possibility of giving birth to an internal world.


    Of course.


    Lin Yuan also understood that it would be difficult for other Martial Dao evolvers to achieve the birth of an internal world in the Seventh Rank Martial Dao Evolution Path. This required mastering nine hundred and sixty-five basic spatial models at the Sixth Rank and choosing a path that was sufficiently perfect.


    Take, for example.


    If a Martial Dao evolver chose the power of gold as their path at the Second Rank.


    When they reached the Third or Fourth Rank, they would begin toprehend the rules of gold.


    Then, by the time they reached the Sixth Rank, even if this Martial Dao evolverprehended nine hundred and sixty-five spatial models, they still would not be able to open up an internal world.


    Because the rule of gold was too singr, far from being as perfect andplete as the Tai Chi formed by Yin and Yang.


    For this Martial Dao evolver to open up an internal world, they would have toprehend four other rules besides the rule of gold, such as the rules of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, plus the rule of space.


    However, no matter what, the Seventh Rank Martial Dao Evolution Path currently being opened by Lin Yuan greatly elevated the upper limit, and in the evaluation of the Wisdom Goddess, it would definitely not be too low.


    One monthter.


    "This, this is the core spatial model?"


    Lin Yuan raised his right hand, and strands of spatial power continuously intertwined, forming a spatial model in an instant.


    This spatial model was far moreplex than the basic spatial model, thousands or even tens of thousands of times more so. Just looking at it gave a sense of spatial transformation.


    "The core spatial model elucidates the essence of spatial rules. Each core spatial model has great utility, and different core spatial models, whenbined in a regr manner, can also form means simr to innate divine abilities."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    For example, the first core spatial model, the thirteenth core spatial model, the sixteenth core spatial model, and the twenty-third core spatial model.


    Combining these four core spatial models would grant the ability to ''teleport.''


    Teleportation was a high-level application of spatial rules, effective for both survival and pursuit.


    There were a total of seven thousand seven hundred and eighty-two core spatial models, theoretically forming countless types of spatial techniques simr to ''teleportation.''


    "The rules of space are vast and endless. Even if youprehend all seven thousand seven hundred and eighty-two core spatial models, it cannot be said that youpletely master the entire spatial rule."


    Lin Yuan sighed.


    The more he cultivated, the deeper his understanding of the rules became, and the more he felt his own insignificance.


    "Hmm?"


    "The Yang Spirit has already arrived under that permanent spatial rift?"


    Lin Yuan seemed to sense something, looking towards a certain extraterrestrial battlefield.


    As for the Yin Spirit? It had arrived three days ago.


    "Let''s see the speed of umting Boundary Breaking Source Power."


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes, carefully feeling it.


    "The speed hasn''t increased?"


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes, furrowing his brow.


    The two primordial spirits were under the permanent spatial rifts of different battlefields.


    The speed at which Lin Yuan umted Boundary Breaking Source Power remained at once every two hundred and ny days.


    "What principle is this?" Lin Yuan was somewhat puzzled.


    Whether it was the Gate to the Myriad Worlds seen by himself or the two primordial spirits, they were just projections of the true Gate to the Myriad Worlds.


    "Forget it."


    After pondering for a while, Lin Yuan stopped thinking about it.


    This result didn''t have much of an impact on him.


    "Let the Yin Spirite back."


    With a slight movement of his mind, the Yin Spirit began to leave the battlefield and return to the Red Kun main star.


    Since there was no difference between having two primordial spirits and having one, Lin Yuan naturally wouldn''t leave both primordial spirits on the extraterrestrial battlefield.


    Leaving one primordial spirit by his side would provide more means to cope when necessary.


    Time passed.


    Several months went by in the blink of an eye.


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes, sinking his consciousness into his mind.


    "Two portions of Boundary Breaking Source Power have been umted."


    Lin Yuan looked towards the Gate to the Myriad Worlds and, with a slight sense, understood the quantity of Boundary Breaking Source Power.


    With the eleration provided by the permanent spatial rifts for umting Boundary Breaking Source Power, Lin Yuan didn''t immediately transmigrate after umting one portion of Boundary Breaking Source Power.


    Instead, he waited for a while.


    In any case, this didn''t cause any loss to Lin Yuan; it wasn''t behavior that wasted Boundary Breaking Source Power.


    No matter how much time passed, the umted Boundary Breaking Source Power in the Gate to the Myriad Worlds remained there, waiting for Lin Yuan to use it at any time.


    "Let''s see which world I''ll transmigrate to this time."


    Lin Yuan separated a strand of his consciousness and entered the Gate to the Myriad Worlds.


    In a daze, Lin Yuan''s consciousness transmigrated through space and time, arriving in front of a vast world.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan tried to observe the world and his expression changed slightly.


    "This world."


    The next moment, this strand of consciousness dissipated.


    "The world I''m transmigrating to this time."


    Outside, Lin Yuan rubbed his chin.


    Through the brief observation and contact just now, Lin Yuan obtained some information rted to this transmigration.


    Firstly, it was the duration of stay.


    This time, Lin Yuan''s stay would be six hundred years.


    Meanwhile, the time psed in the main world would be one year.


    In other words, the ratio of time passing between the transmigrated world and the main world was six hundred to one.


    Through this time ratio, Lin Yuan judged that the world he was transmigrating to this time was of a very high level. Although it was far fromparable to the main world, it was much higher than the Immortal Path world he had transmigrated to.


    Perhaps it was already close to the Spirit Realm above the Immortal Path world?


    "Let''s transmigrate."


    After pondering for a while, Lin Yuan made a decision in his heart.


    At the same time.


    On the extraterrestrial battlefield.


    Lin Yuan''s Yang Spirit began to leave the permanent spatial rift.


    It arrived at the human base on the battlefield, found a ce to cultivate, and began seclusion.


    Once the transmigration started, Lin Yuan''s consciousness would enter the Gate to the Myriad Worlds. Losing consciousness, whether it was the main body or the primordial spirits, all would be in a state of sleep. Naturally, a safe ce had to be chosen.


    "Begin."


    On the Red Kun main star, Lin Yuan''s thoughts converged, and his consciousnesspletely surged into the Gate to the Myriad Worlds.

    Chapter 194


    Help me buy a newputer :D /DavidLord


    ...


    Amidst a daze.


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness began to revive.


    "What ce is this?"


    Lin Yuan''s mind was slightly startled as darkness met his eyes, devoid of any light.


    "Could it be that the body my consciousness has descended upon this time is blind?"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Even if born into the body of a developing infant and the eyes and other organs are not yet fully developed, one can still roughly discern light from darkness.However, now.


    Lin Yuan couldn''t perceive the slightest hint of brightness.


    This was clearly abnormal.


    "Even if it''s blindness, once restored to the second rank, I should be able to use perception to substitute for sight. No, wait."


    Lin Yuan''s mind grew solemn, and with continuous adaptation, he suddenly discovered that the body he had descended upon this time was not human.


    "Is this a tree?"


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts diverged. With the consciousness of a seventh-rank evolver reviving, his ability to perceive the outside world greatly increased. Even without relying on vision, he could sense many things.


    For example.


    Lin Yuan''s current external appearance.


    He was a small tree over a meter tall, with branches beginning to wither.


    ck Mist Mountain Range.


    Deep and quiet, ancient trees of countless millennia and hundreds of thousands of years could be seen everywhere, with many terrifying beasts and monsters lurking.


    In a certain area on the outskirts of the ck Mist Mountain Range, a small tree over a meter tall swayed in the wind, its trunk yellowing and withering,pletely different from the nearby ancient trees.


    "This could be troublesome."


    Lin Yuan suddenly felt it was tricky.


    After traversing the Gate of the Myriad Worlds five times before.


    Lin Yuan subconsciously assumed that the bodies he descended upon through the Gate of the Myriad Worlds were all human.


    But in reality.


    Lin Yuan did not confirm this from within the Gate of the Myriad Worlds.


    And now.


    Lin Yuan''s situation clearly told him that the target of each descent was not necessarily human.


    Theoretically speaking, as long as it belongs to the scope of life, Lin Yuan has the possibility of descending.


    "This world."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts turned, and after fully adapting, he quickly discovered something unusual about this small tree.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness converged entirely at the base of the small tree, where it seemed that a ck me was burning.


    Whispers came, and Lin Yuan seemed to see a huge demon tree standing in the void.


    The branches of the demon tree swayed, and seeds began to scatter in all directions, falling into a vast world.


    And the small tree Lin Yuan descended upon now was one of those seeds that had grown.


    "The Outsider Demon God, the progenitor demon tree?"


    "So it peeks into this world."


    "And then sent its ''seeds'' in, attempting topletely integrate and then grow."


    "And ultimatelypletely upy this world."


    Lin Yuan felt somewhatplicated.


    His identity in this descent was not simple; he was a seed of the Outsider Demon God ¨C the progenitor demon tree, intended to invade this world as a backup.


    But unfortunately.


    It seems that the seeds of the Outsider Demon God ¨C the progenitor demon tree, are somewhat ipatible with this world.


    At least the small tree Lin Yuan descended upon is so, with its trunk yellowing and withering, looking malnourished.


    If it weren''t for Lin Yuan''s consciousness descending, it probably wouldn''t be long before it withered on its own.


    "Outsider Demon God."


    Lin Yuan faintly sensed towards a certain direction.


    As the seed of the progenitor demon tree, even if separated by a great distance, Lin Yuan could still sense the immense and profound terrifying aura emanating from it.


    "But I don''t care."


    "For me right now, whether it''s a demon god or not doesn''t matter."


    "The most important thing now is to survive."


    Lin Yuan pondered in his mind.


    Although he currently appears to be a small tree, in essence, he is a descendant of a demon god, capable of promoting his own growth by devouringrge amounts of the essence, blood, and souls of living beings.


    However, with the current state of the small tree, let alone devouring the essence, blood, and souls of other living beings, it''s lucky enough not to be trampled by some passing beast.


    "Slowly umte energy by sunlight. It''s too slow, and I can hardly absorb much sunlight anyway."


    Lin Yuan slightly extended his perception to the surroundings and found ancient trees everywhere, monopolizing all the sunlight, moisture, and nutrients.


    "Natural Qi?"


    Lin Yuan also noticed that the air around was filled with a gentle energy simr to spiritual Qi.


    But simrly, relying on instinct to absorb these energies is exceptionally slow. Perhaps it would take hundreds of years to grow a few meters taller?


    "That progenitor demon tree wants to conspire with this world at minimal cost to invade it. It''s simply not realistic."


    Lin Yuan sighed.


    Through his current situation, he could also infer the plight of other demon tree seeds.


    Either they were barely alive like him, or they had long died due to various idents.


    ording to the initial memories of this small tree, that progenitor demon tree had scattered countless seeds into this world.


    But now, there were probably not many left alive.


    "Normal demon tree seeds, under the suppression of the world''s will, cannot grow at all. But I am not a normal demon tree seed."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts fluctuated.


    Under the suppression of heaven and earth, demon tree seeds cannot use any innate abilities.


    Thus, it led to his current despondency.


    But for Lin Yuan, if he couldn''t use his innate abilities, then he wouldn''t use them.


    He only needed to create methods and abilities that adapted to this world. Isn''t that enough?


    Although Lin Yuan had not seen any martial arts manuals from this world, so-called martial arts manuals were just shortcuts for Lin Yuan to take.


    With his Unrivaled Insight, Lin Yuan could directlyprehend the world and extract the martial arts manuals he wanted from the most fundamental operations of the world.


    These martial arts manuals, obtained from the world itself, would bepletely adapted to this world and not be suppressed in the slightest.


    "Let''s start enlightenment."


    Lin Yuan steadied his mind, without any hesitation.


    At this moment, he didn''t have much sense of security. As a small tree over a meter tall, unable to move, if targeted by some grazing monster, he had no ability to resist.


    Even the asional passing monster could deal him a devastating blow.


    [You possess Unrivaled Insight, observing the operation of heaven and earth, intending toprehend the method of cultivation.]


    After nearly half a month of continuous enlightenment.


    Lin Yuan finallyprehended a method of cultivation suitable for his current self.


    "Phew."


    Lin Yuan slowly activated it, and spiritual power began to gather from all around, flowing into the trunk through the bark, and finally beingpletely absorbed.


    "Comfortable."


    Lin Yuan only felt the whole tree body warm, as if soaking in a hot spring.


    "However, this cultivation method can only be used for transition in the early stages. It''s best to use it lesster on."


    Lin Yuan silently thought.


    He was currently only a little over a meter tall, able to draw in spiritual energy from tens of meters around.


    If he grew to several meters or tens of meters, just one absorption would cause a disturbance in the spiritual energy for miles around.


    By then, it would attract the attention of powerful monsters and even the true powerhouses of this world.


    Given the characteristics of demon tree seeds, they were inherently rejected by the life of this world. Once exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    Therefore.


    For Lin Yuan to survive, he could only hide. Without the strength to sweep everything, he absolutely could not expose himself.


    "At the current rate of cultivation, in a few months, I will be able to control the branches and hunt those monsters."


    Lin Yuan estimated in his mind.


    As a descendant of the demon tree, he appeared to be a tree, but he was fundamentally different from those immobile trees.


    At the beginning of growth, under the suppression of heaven and earth, there was simply no room to disy abilities.


    Now that Lin Yuan had a chance to catch his breath and could get through the most difficult period by absorbing spiritual energy, things would naturally be much betterter on.


    Controlling branches and hunting prey were the most basic abilities.


    And by hunting prey and absorbing their blood, flesh, and souls, Lin Yuan''s growth rate would be much faster, and it would not attract attention from other beings due to causing fluctuations in spiritual energy.


    Several monthster.


    A half-meter-sized purple-eyed rabbit cautiously approached.


    This rabbit had sleek fur, and its eyes were purple, appearing exceptionally cute and harmless.


    However.


    Any monster able to live in the ck Mist Mountain Range was basically not harmless.


    This rabbit was no exception. In a burst of speed, it was even faster than some flying monsters.


    The purple-eyed rabbit slowly approached, its gaze fixed on one spot.


    There, a piece of emerald green leaves had visible spiritual power flowing on its surface.


    This was an irresistible temptation for the purple-eyed rabbit.


    The purple-eyed rabbit was not very intelligent, but instinct told it that as long as it swallowed that leaf, it would undergo some kind of transformation.


    However, having lived in the ck Mist Mountain Range for years, the purple-eyed rabbit was naturally highly vignt. Even though the leaf was not far away, it did not approach immediately.


    Instead, it cautiously observed the surroundings.


    Swish.


    After confirming repeatedly that there was no monster threatening it nearby, only a three to four-meter-tall, unknown tree with pitch-ck branches growing beside it.


    The purple-eyed rabbit finally rxed its guard and swiftly pounced towards the leaf.


    However.


    The next moment.


    The emerald green leaf disappeared.


    In its ce, more than ten ck branches, like spirit snakes, entwined the pouncing purple-eyed rabbit.


    It seemed to any other monsters present as if the purple-eyed rabbit had thrown itself into the entanglement.


    "Squeak squeak."


    The purple-eyed rabbit struggled violently. Under the threat of death, all its potential erupted, but unfortunately.


    Facing the increasingly tight entanglement of the ck branches, the purple-eyed rabbit''s struggles grew weaker and weaker, until its consciousnesspletely sank into darkness.


    "Whoa."


    After absorbing the flesh, blood, and soul of the purple-eyed rabbit, Lin Yuan''sfortable branches began to sway and swing.


    Compared to absorbing external spiritual power, directly hunting and devouring flesh and souls would make his own growth much faster.


    Just one purple-eyed rabbit was equivalent to Lin Yuan''s arduous cultivation for nearly half a month.


    It''s worth noting that this arduous cultivation for nearly half a month here refers to Lin Yuan''s cultivation using the method heprehended.


    If there were no cultivation method, capturing just one purple-eyed rabbit would probably be equivalent to Lin Yuan''s cultivation for several years or decades.


    "Now I finally have some self-defense power."


    After absorbing the flesh, blood, and soul of the purple-eyed rabbit, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.


    The emerald green leaf he used to lure the purple-eyed rabbit was condensed over these few months by continuously absorbing spiritual energy through the cultivation method.


    This was equivalent to all the achievements Lin Yuan had made during this time.


    For the purple-eyed rabbit, which relied on leaves for food, this was like a treasure from heaven. In just a few days, Lin Yuan had already hunted down over ten purple-eyed rabbits using this method.


    "Now, I..."


    Lin Yuan examined himself.


    Of course, not through vision, but through his own perception.


    At this moment, Lin Yuan was almost three meters tall,pared to less than two meters when he first became conscious, undoubtedly a significant growth.


    As for strength, he could easily hunt down some rtively weak monsters, but for safety''s sake, Lin Yuan still focused on hunting purple-eyed rabbits.


    "If I continue to grow, the innate abilities of the demon tree will gradually break through the seal and be usable."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The demon tree seeds that had just entered this world were too weak, which was why they were easily suppressed to death.


    But now, having passed through the most difficult period, Lin Yuan had a premonition that his situation would be easier and easier.


    In the time that followed, while continuing his enlightenment, Lin Yuan continued to use the emerald green leaf as bait to hunt down purple-eyed rabbits with low intelligence.


    Even if other monsters were too careless and came over on their own, Lin Yuan would not hesitate to ept them.


    After half a year had passed, after countless hunts, Lin Yuan''s body size had reached seven to eight meters, with hundreds of branches under his control.


    The purple-eyed rabbits within several miles had almost been eradicated by Lin Yuan.


    "In a while, I can consider moving to another ce."


    Lin Yuan made a decision in his heart.


    Other trees, unless they became sentient, could not move. But Lin Yuan was different; as long as he wanted to, he could easily change his location.


    "Hmm?"


    Just as Lin Yuan was considering moving in that direction,


    There was a sudden movement.


    He looked towards a certain direction.

    ...


    "Over there."


    Lin Yuan''s mind focused.


    Ever since consciousness descended into this world,


    Lin Yuan had encountered various kinds of demonic beasts and ferocious beasts.


    As for others, there hadn''t been much contact.


    Mainly because of Lin Yuan''s location, the ck Mist Mountain Range, which was a paradise for demonic beasts and ferocious beasts.


    "Someone ising?"Lin Yuan''s perception spread, detecting figures several miles away.


    A pair of young men and women were walking towards this direction.


    "Elder brother, choosing the ck Mist Mountain Range as our training ground, isn''t it too risky?"


    The young woman''s gaze was alert as she spoke softly.


    "Without entering the tiger''s den, how can one get a tiger cub? Junior sister, now our sect has brought out many heritage legacies to resist the invasion of foreign gods."


    "As long as we can pass through the training, we will gain great benefits and opportunities."


    The young man continued, "Although the ck Mist Mountain Range is dangerous, the demonic beasts there are much easier to deal with than the puppets of the foreign gods. If we are afraid even of these demonic beasts, how will we deal with the foreign gods in the future?"


    "Elder brother, what you said is really good."


    At the young woman''s words, a trace of admiration appeared in her eyes as she looked at the young man.


    Several miles away.


    Lin Yuan carefully observed the two young men and women.


    Due to thenguage barrier, Lin Yuan didn''t know what the other party was saying.


    But through their expressions and actions, Lin Yuan inferred that these two young men and women should be from some force outside.


    "Equivalent to the Second Rank, they should be disciples of a sect."


    Lin Yuan spected in his mind. In this side world, where time flowed at a rate of six hundred to onepared to the main world, it was absolutely not to be underestimated. The strongest might even reach the peak of the Seventh Rank.


    Since discovering the two young men and women, Lin Yuan spent most of his time observing them.


    As for taking action to capture them? Lin Yuan wouldn''t do it without thoroughly understanding the cards of the two young men and women.


    Who knows if these young men and women have any powerful seniors, killing them oneself will attract the attention of those seniors?


    Lin Yuan observed the young men and women mainly to learn thenguage they spoke.


    Under the Unrivaled Insight, no matter what Lin Yuan learned, reading or listening to it once was basically enough.


    Learning apletely newnguage was effortless.


    Just remember the pronunciation of the other party, as well as the tone and expression when mentioning it, and you could figure out most of it.


    "Azure World?"


    "Azure Grand Alliance?"


    Half a monthter, Lin Yuan gleaned much useful information from the two young men and women.


    Firstly, this world was called the Azure World, and the most powerful force in this world was the Azure Grand Alliance.


    The Azure Grand Alliance was a huge entityposed of countless forces in the Azure World, formed to resist the invasion of foreign gods.


    "Indeed, the invasion of foreign gods has begun."


    Lin Yuan pondered. Perhaps many years ago, the invasion of foreign gods had begun in this world, but it had never seeded.


    That''s why the ancestor demon tree had scattered countless seeds into the Azure World, trying other ways to invade.


    "The strength of the Alliance Master of the Azure Grand Alliance should have reached the Seventh Rank, and it''s not an ordinary Seventh Rank."


    Lin Yuan had heard admiration for the Alliance Master many times from the young man.


    In these years of foreign god invasion, if it weren''t for the Alliance Master''s repeated efforts to control the situation, the situation would have been much worse than it is now. How could they leisurely enter the ck Mist Mountain Range for training?


    "They are about to go back."


    Lin Yuan looked ''towards'' the two young men and women.


    After hunting down several Second Rank demonic beasts, the two of thempleted their training tasks and nned to return to their sect to im rewards.


    Lin Yuan didn''t stop them because there was no need. The other party hadn''t discovered him yet, and making a move would only expose his traces and weaknesses.


    "Continue, continue."


    Lin Yuan waited until the two young men and women had leftpletely before resuming the hunt for demonic beasts.


    With a height of seven to eight meters, ordinary First and Second Rank demonic beasts within a radius of a hundred meters couldn''t escape and all became Lin Yuan''s food.


    Several dayster.


    "It''s time to leave."


    By now, most of the demonic beasts around had been hunted down. To maintain the current pace of cultivation, Lin Yuan had to go to other areas for repeated hunting.


    Lin Yuan looked towards the depths of the ck Mist Mountain Range, nning to move towards that location.


    The closer to the depths of the ck Mist Mountain Range, the denser the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became, and the stronger the demonic beasts became, naturally providing more help to Lin Yuan.


    "However, before leaving, I can deal with those guys underground."


    Lin Yuan''s mind stirred slightly as he looked towards the ground.


    The ck Mist Mountain Range, one of the ten major mountain ranges in the Azure World, vast and extensive, harbored countless demonic and ferocious beasts.


    Many of these demonic and ferocious beasts were on the ground.


    However, even underground, there was no shortage of traces of demonic beasts.


    The "guys" Lin Yuan referred to with his mouth were a group of "Earthrock Rats."


    These rat-like demonic beasts liked to live underground and, with their abilities, had dug countless "tunnels." At a depth of a hundred meters underground, they had even built a rat n pce.


    It was like a rat dynasty.


    The reason Lin Yuan was able to discover the traces of these Earthrock Rats was because while exploring underground with his own roots, he inadvertently entered a "tunnel" and discovered the traces of those Earthrock Rats.


    "There are probably more than three hundred Earthrock Rats, and the Rat King has Second Rank strength."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. The size of the Earthrock Rats was not smaller than that of Purple-eyed Rabbits, reaching nearly half a meter, and the Rat King was even two meters in size.


    Like a giant bull.


    The reason Lin Yuan waited until now to take action was because he didn''t have much confidence before.


    He was afraid that taking action would rm the group of Earthrock Rats, causing most of them to escape.


    With over three hundred Earthrock Rats, so much flesh and soul, even without counting the Rat King, it could greatly push Lin Yuan''s strength forward.


    Moreover.


    "That Rat King, the reason for establishing its nest here is because of a Soil Spirit Medicine?"


    Lin Yuan carefully sensed and discovered that deep underground, within the rat n pce, there was an extremely pure soil-based spiritual power spreading.


    Lin Yuan spected that the reason why the Rat King was able to grow to a size of two meters was closely rted to that Soil Spirit Medicine.


    "Mine."


    "All mine."


    Lin Yuan''s eyes were hot, his mind slightly moved, and hundreds of branches, as well as roots, began to move towards the rat n pce.


    Dozens of meters underground.


    Tunnels crisscrossed, and grayish half-meter-sized Earthrock Rats continuously shuttled back and forth along the tunnels, bringing back all the food they found to the Rat King.


    Suddenly.


    Just at this moment.


    One Earthrock Rat suddenly stopped.


    It gently sniffed the air with its nose, as if sensing something.


    The next moment.


    Before this Earthrock Rat could react,


    A ck branch, as sturdy as fine iron, pierced through it.


    "Squeak."


    The Earthrock Rat let out a miserable cry, and soon its flesh and soul werepletely devoured by the branch.


    Next.


    It was the Earthrock Rat''s doomsday.


    One ck branch after another continuously pierced one Earthrock Rat after another, devouring their essence and soul, transforming it into Lin Yuan''s own strength, thus forming a virtuous cycle.


    "Refreshing!"


    On the surface, Lin Yuan only felt exceptionally fulfilled. The abundant essence and soul of the Earthrock Rats turned into surging power, filling himself up.


    If it were just normal demon tree seeds, it would be impossible to devour so many Earthrock Rats at once.


    It would explode.


    But Lin Yuan was different. As a Seventh Rank Evolver, under the control of his realm, he could quickly absorb all the power.


    "Foreign gods still have some tricks up their sleeves."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself as he devoured the Earthrock Rats.


    The devouring ability he was exhibiting at the moment came from the instinct of the demon tree seeds, which was the ability of the ancestor demon tree.


    This kind of ability had almost no drawbacks. It should be noted that even in the main world, devouring-type evolutionary paths would affect the purity of their own souls when devouring flesh and soul. But the devouring ability of the demon tree was extremely domineering; whether it was flesh or soul, it was its own nourishment.


    "It''s a pity that after reaching the Seventh or Eighth Rank, what matters is theprehension of the rules, and the umtion of energy is not that important."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    The "Red Spirit Liquid" of the Red Kun Lineage was the best example.


    Such abilities, like those of demon tree seeds, had almost miraculous effects below the Seventh Rank, but they became much weaker at the Seventh Rank.


    "Hmm?"


    "I''m close to the Rat King''s pce."


    Lin Yuan''s expression became slightly serious.


    A hundred meters underground.


    A small pce stood.


    This pce, entirely made of mud,cked any intricate details, but for rats, it was considered a very good building.


    However.


    Hiss.


    A ck branch, resembling a ck dragon, lightly swept, and one-tenth of the pce copsed.


    "Squeak, squeak, squeak¡ª¡ª"


    A two-meter-sized Rat King sprang out, looking at the copsed pce, with a hint of anger in its eyes.


    As a Second Rank demonic beast, the Rat King had already acquired a certain level of intelligence, otherwise, it would not have specially built a pce to live in.


    Now seeing the pce destroyed, it naturally stirred emotions within.


    However, just as this Rat King was observing the ck branch resembling a ck dragon, thinking about how to attack,


    Boom, boom, boom.


    One ck branch after another swept over.


    Frightened, the Rat King hurriedly retreated.


    "Squeak, squeak, squeak."


    The Rat King screamed in panic.


    The Rat King signaled for other Earthrock Rats toe and protect it.


    However, no matter how the Rat King called out, only a few Earthrock Rats came.


    And just shortly after they arrived, they were pierced by ck branches and quickly turned to dust.


    "Run."


    Although the Rat King had Second Rank strength, seeing this scene, it dared not stay any longer.


    It instinctively wanted to flee.


    In the deepest part of the pce, there was a tunnel dug out by the Rat King itself.


    It connected to another ce. As long as the Rat King escaped through that tunnel, it would have a chance to survive.


    But before the Rat King could run far...


    Swoosh.


    It was surrounded by the ck branches that had rushed over.


    The Rat King instinctively activated its life-saving technique.


    A sandy-yellow light rose from its body.


    But faced with the continuous attacks of hundreds of ck branches...


    Eventually, the sandy-yellow light on the Rat King''s body shattered directly, and the two-meter-sized Rat King became nourishment for Lin Yuan''s growth.


    "Nice."


    "Feels great."


    Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and his branches swayed slightly.


    The Second Rank Rat King was definitely the most delicious life Lin Yuan had devoured since arriving.


    The abundant blood and fearful souls made Lin Yuan both physically and mentally pleased.


    "That''s enough."


    "Let''s see what that Soil Spirit Medicine is?"


    Controlling the ck branches, Lin Yuan cleaned up the underground battlefield and finally moved to the deepest part of the pce, where the Rat King resided.


    There, a palm-sized spiritual nt was growing.


    Under the nt''s branches and leaves hung several thumb-sized spiritual fruits, emitting subtle fluctuations of soil-based spiritual power.


    "Is this the Soil Spirit Medicine that catalyzed the Second Rank Rat King?"


    Lin Yuan carefully examined it. He didn''t recognize what kind of spiritual nt it was.


    But it didn''t matter. In any case, it would be directly swallowed, so there was no difference.


    Lin Yuan was just curious about what mysteries such a small spiritual nt held.


    "Eat it."


    Without hesitation, Lin Yuan''s ck branches swept over and directly devoured all the spiritual power and spirituality of the spiritual nt.


    "Done."


    "Everything''s settled."


    "I can leave now."


    After devouring the Earthrock Rat group and the Soil Spirit Medicine, Lin Yuan, satisfied, began to control the roots and slowly move towards the depths of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.


    Although demon trees were not limited to a specific location and could move actively, their speed was not very fast.


    To avoid being noticed by other demonic and ferocious beasts, Lin Yuan chose to move when there were as few demonic beasts passing by as possible.


    Half a monthter.


    Lin Yuan sessfully entered the depths of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.


    Here was already the outeryer of the mountain range''s depths. There was ample spiritual energy, but the number of demonic beasts had increased.


    Rustle, rustle.


    Lin Yuan''s branches swayed, devouring hundreds of Earthrock Rats, as well as the Rat King and Soil Spirit Medicine.


    Lin Yuan''s size exceeded ten meters.


    The pitch-ck trunk and branches emitted a prating scent.


    As a descendant of a demon tree, Lin Yuan naturally belonged to the "evil" camp.


    "This won''t do."


    "I still need to disguise my aura."


    Lin Yuan thought for a moment. If he continued to emit an evil aura, who would dare to approach him for hunting?


    "It shouldn''t be difficult toprehend a secret method to conceal and disguise aura."


    Lin Yuan began toprehend again, based on the characteristics of demon trees, creating a unique method to conceal aura for this type of life form.


    [Yourprehension is extraordinary. You feel the flow of your own aura and attempt to create a method to conceal it.]


    [Yourprehension is extraordinary. You feel the flow of your own aura and attempt to create a method to conceal it.]


    [Yourprehension is extraordinary. You feel the flow of your own aura and attempt to create a method to conceal it.]


    Several dayster.


    Lin Yuan sessfullyprehended a method to conceal aura.


    When activated, his own evil aura began to converge.


    Instead, it revealed a harmless aura.


    In this state, some passing birds subconsciouslynded on Lin Yuan''s branches to rest.


    "Not bad."


    Lin Yuan wasn''t interested in those weak birds at all. They didn''t have much blood and energy, so he couldn''t be bothered to devour them.


    "What about that wolf demon?"


    Lin Yuan sensed and found that several miles away, there was a wolf pack''s den.


    The leader of the pack was a wolf demon with a size of seven to eight meters, resembling a small hill.


    And so, time passed quickly.


    In the blink of an eye, fifty years had passed since Lin Yuan arrived in this world.

    ...


    Outside the ck Mist Mountains.


    As one of the top ten mountains in the Azure world, it is unknown how many monsters and beasts, as well as spiritual medicines, exist in the ck Mist Mountains. And for many cultivators, these are undoubtedly endless treasures.


    Although 283 years ago, the invasion of the foreign evil gods resulted in countless evil god puppets entering the Azure world. Under the threat of life and death, many forces in the Azure world immediately formed the Azure Alliance, setting aside all grievances and gathering all their strength to resist the evil god puppets outside the world.


    As a result, most cultivators went to the battlefield to fight against the evil god puppets.


    There are fewer cultivators entering the ck Mist Mountains, and most of them are young cultivators with weak strength.


    But even so, many cultivators still enter and exit the entrance of the ck Mist Mountains every day.


    It can be foreseen how prosperous the ck Mist Mountains were before the invasion of the foreign evil gods."Have you noticed that in recent decades, the monsters and beasts in the ck Mist Mountains have decreased a lot?"


    "Indeed, in the past when I entered the ck Mist Mountains, I had to be very careful, as I could encounter monsters and beasts at any time. But now, I rarely encounter any decent monsters and beasts."


    "What could be the reason?"


    "Could it be that there''s a problem with the few ''kings'' in the depths of the ck Mist Mountains?"


    In the entrance area of the ck Mist Mountains, cultivators whispered to each other. They often enter the ck Mist Mountains and can observe changes during that time.


    "The few ''kings'' in the depths of the ck Mist Mountains should not have any problems. Those ''kings''e from noble bloodlines and have long lifespans. What problems could they have?"


    "In the past, every few decades, the ''kings'' in the ck Mist Mountains wouldmand countless monsters and beasts,unching a beast tide. But since the invasion of the foreign evil gods, the powerful monsters and beasts in the ck Mist Mountains have be much more obedient."


    "It''s not that the ''kings'' have problems. It''s that the number of powerful monsters and beasts in the ck Mist Mountains has decreased. Could it be the doing of those ''kings''? After all, only those ''kings'' canmand numerous monsters."


    "That makes sense."


    Many cultivators discussed one after another. The decrease in the number of powerful monsters and beasts in the ck Mist Mountains also had a certain impact on them, as they couldn''t hunt enough valuable monsters.


    But if it really was the doing of those ''kings,'' there was nothing they could do. Those ''kings'' were powerful and had deep backgrounds.


    Even in normal times, human cultivators could not do anything to them and could only make a ''contract'' with them.


    Moreover, most of humanity''s strength was now focused on resisting the invasion of the foreign evil gods.


    In the depths of the ck Mist Mountains.


    A ancient tree, about thirty to forty meters tall, stood quietly there, with dark branches and vines hanging down, and the crown of the tree was dotted with a little green.


    Although this ancient tree looked a bit strange, slightly different from normal ancient trees, this was the ck Mist Mountains, where some peculiar tree species grew, so it was nothing unusual.


    However.


    Upon closer observation, it would be noticed that, centered on this ancient tree, there were no monsters or beasts within tens or hundreds of square kilometers.


    Although the aura was peaceful and warm, there was a faintly eerie smell.


    "Fifty years."


    Lin Yuan sighed. Of course, in his current state, he couldn''t really sigh, he could only sway his branches gently a few times.


    These fifty years were the fifty years of rapid growth for Lin Yuan. With countless monsters and beasts in the ck Mist Mountains as nourishment, Lin Yuan lived veryfortably. After getting through the initial difficult period, he grew rapidly every day.


    "Now."


    Lin Yuan examined himself. His height had reached thirty to forty meters.


    However, this thirty to forty meters was the result of Lin Yuan''s extreme suppression.


    If not suppressed, he could easily break through hundreds of meters, which would be extremely conspicuous in the ck Mist Mountains.


    It might even attract the attention of the leader of the Azure Alliance and several deputy leaders.


    Once this happened, Lin Yuan''s true identity would probably be exposed. If the leader of the Azure Alliance knew that the descendant of the ancestor demon tree from his own world had infiltrated their world...


    It''s very likely that he would temporarily put aside the gains and losses on the battlefield and concentrate all his strength on dealing with Lin Yuan.


    One must first secure internal stability before dealing with external threats.


    This principle was not difficult to understand.


    Although Lin Yuan''s height was only thirty to forty meters now.


    But the roots of the demon tree had spread throughout the surrounding tens of thousands of miles underground.


    As long as Lin Yuan was willing, he could take action at any position within tens of thousands of miles with just a thought.


    The roots of nts and trees were originally muchrger than their trunks. Although the demon tree was notpletely a tree, he still possessed the abilities of trees.


    "Within a radius of thousands of miles."


    Lin Yuan carefully sensed that with the assistance of the roots, he could control everything within tens of thousands of miles.


    Even with the extended perception of the roots, he could perceive information tens of thousands or even millions of miles away.


    "The ''kings'' in the deepest part?"


    Lin Yuan''s perception spread out, exploring towards the deepest part of the ck Mist Mountains.


    There, it was the forbidden area of all monsters and beasts, the ce where the ''kings'' of the ck Mist Mountains lived.


    "Hmm?"


    In Lin Yuan''s perception, in the deepest part of the ck Mist Mountains, there stood a towering red wutong tree.


    At the top of the wutong tree, there was a huge wind nest, and a golden-red feathered bird was sleeping.


    "Vermilion Bird? Or Phoenix?"


    Lin Yuan didn''t act rashly, silently observing for a while before slowly retreating.


    "Fifty years of cultivation. In terms of strength, I should be able to match a sixth-rank evolver in the main world. The cultivation system of the demon tree ispletely different from martial arts."


    Lin Yuan fell into contemtion.


    Of course, although he hadn''t cultivated the path of martial arts evolution, this didn''t affect Lin Yuan from deducing and perfecting the sixth-rank section of the martial arts evolution path with his Unrivaled Insight.


    Moreover, some of the essential qualities of the demon tree have a significant reference effect on the path of martial arts evolution and can bepletely integrated.


    "The battlefield of the foreign evil gods."


    Lin Yuan''s gaze looked into the distance.


    Under the instinctive perception from the demon tree, there was an abyss-like aura, which was precisely the location of the ancestor demon tree.


    "The ancestor demon tree''s attempt to invade this realm is not going smoothly."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. Fifty years had passed, and he hadn''t sensed any movement from the ancestor demon tree, indicating that it had been blocked.


    For the invaders, this was a disadvantage. On this side of the Azure world, there was a world acting as a foundation. It could continuously mobilize cultivators to resist.


    As for the ancestor demon tree? Even though it was powerful in essence, it was ultimately just an individual.


    With a foundation? It couldn''tpete with aplete world.


    "It doesn''t concern me for now."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. He had to spend six hundred years in this world, but only fifty years had passed. There was still plenty of time for cultivation.


    The Azure world and the ancestor demon tree were in a stalemate, which was good for Lin Yuan.


    If the ancestor demon tree were to descend into this world before Lin Yuan grew beyond it, it would be unfavorable.


    That''s why, in the past fifty years, Lin Yuan had devoured countless monsters and beasts in the ck Mist Mountains but had not harmed any human cultivators.


    One reason was to avoid being discovered abnormally.


    The second reason was that he didn''t want to weaken the strength of human cultivators.


    So far, Lin Yuan still needed numerous cultivators from the Azure Alliance to resist the invasion of the ancestor demon tree and buy him time to grow.


    "However, recently, I did awaken a certain ability of the ancestor demon tree."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts stirred, and the branches of the demon tree swayed. A gray seed floated in front of him.


    The seed of the demon tree.


    The ancestor demon tree spread countless seeds across the outer realm, turning them into evil god puppets to fight against the strong of the Azure world.


    As the legitimate descendant of the ancestor demon tree, once he grew to a certain extent and broke free from the suppression of the world, Lin Yuan could naturally give birth to seeds.


    Lin Yuan stared at the gray seed in front of him, the seed of the demon tree.


    So far, Lin Yuan had perceived three functions of the demon seed.


    The first was to directly transform into a demon puppet.


    This was the method currently used by the ancestor demon tree, using its massive energy to spawn demon seeds and rapidly grow them into evil god puppets.


    The second was parasitism. The demon seed could parasitize a living organism and then control it.


    The third was natural growth. By scattering seeds into fertile soil, the seeds could take root and sprout inside.


    The previous body of Lin Yuan, the demon tree, was bred by the ancestor demon tree using the third method.


    These three methods each had their advantages and disadvantages, but only the third method could be called the descendant of the ancestor demon tree, capable of inheriting some of its innate abilities.


    "The first function of the demon seed is not useful to me."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. Using his own energy to spawn demon tree seeds and grow them was not suitable for the current Lin Yuan.


    How powerful was the ancestor demon tree? It roamed the outer realm with a strong umtion, which was why it dared to expend its massive energy to spawn demon seeds.


    But how many years had Lin Yuan umted? Furthermore, if he had sufficient energy, Lin Yuan could directly improve himself. There was no need to cultivate puppets or the like.


    And the third effect of the demon seed was unnecessary.


    Even the seeds of the ancestor demon tree scattered into the Azure world mostly died, let alone the seeds of Lin Yuan, the legitimate descendant of the ancestor demon tree.


    "Parasitism."


    Lin Yuan contemted the second function of the demon seed repeatedly.


    It could parasitize a living being and control it.


    This ability required many prerequisites, with the most crucial being that the host had no resistance.


    Otherwise, the parasitism would fail.


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts stirred.


    Thousands of miles away.


    A purple-eyed rabbit cautiously poked its head out and looked at a nearby spiritual grass, its eyes showing a hint of desire.


    Swoosh.


    The purple-eyed rabbit observed its surroundings, found no danger, and then swooshed towards the spiritual grass.


    However, at this moment.


    A ck tree trunk emerged from the ground, directly binding the purple-eyed rabbit and dragging it underground.


    In just a moment.


    The purple-eyed rabbit appeared in front of Lin Yuan.


    "Squeak squeak."


    The purple-eyed rabbit made trembling sounds, looking at the colossal figure in front of it, continuously spinning in ce.


    "I''ll use you to test the parasitic effect."


    Lin Yuan stared at the purple-eyed rabbit, and a gray seed fell down,nding directly on the purple-eyed rabbit.


    Buzz.


    The purple-eyed rabbit thumped to the ground, and the gray demon seed quickly infiltrated its head.


    A momentter.


    The purple-eyed rabbit waspletely under control. It stiffly stood up and emitted a submissive spiritual fluctuation towards Lin Yuan.


    "This feeling."


    Lin Yuan examined the purple-eyed rabbit. Under his control, the purple-eyed rabbit made various movements, rolling or running.


    "Quite impressive," Lin Yuan nodded slightly. The purple-eyed rabbit, now under the control of the demon tree seed, was still alive, but it had been reced by the demon seed.


    "However," Lin Yuan continued, "this is too obvious."


    He observed the purple-eyed rabbit, now stiff and dull-eyed, even moving with a noticeable sluggishness.


    "It''s no wonder the ancestor demon tree didn''t use the parasitic ability of the demon seed. It''s indeed somewhat impractical," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Although the parasitic ability of the demon seed did not require the expenditure of energy to spawn, it had many limitations. The most crucial one was that the host must not resist.


    Since the host couldn''t resist, why bother wasting energy on parasitism when it could be killed and consumed directly?


    Furthermore, after parasitism, the control was obvious, making it difficult for strong individuals in the Azure world not to notice.


    "However... Can I improve this parasitic ability with my extraordinary insight?" Lin Yuan''s expression sank into brief contemtion.


    When he first arrived in this world, Lin Yuan used his extraordinary insight to create a method of cultivation suitable for the demon tree seed.


    Now, with this demon seed, Lin Yuan couldpletely refine it.


    Of course, the parasitic ability of the demon seed was an innate ability of the demon tree.


    Improving and perfecting it would be difficult, but with Lin Yuan''s extraordinary insight, it was worth a try.


    In the following time, Lin Yuan mainly focused on four aspects.


    Firstly, continuing to enhance his strength by devouring more monsters and beasts to promote his growth.


    Secondly, perfecting the seventh-level evolution path of martial arts.


    Thirdly,prehending the remaining core spatial models.


    Although he lost the environment with frequent spatial fluctuations in the alien battlefield, the speed of Lin Yuan''sprehension of the core spatial models decreased. But with more time on his hands, having spent six hundred years in this world, Lin Yuan, with his extraordinary insight, could elevate his understanding of spatial rules to an incredible level.


    Fourthly, attempting to improve the demon seed.


    Although the demon seed was a crucial tool for the ancestor demon tree, Lin Yuan still nned to invest some time and effort in this area.


    Even if there were gains to be had, he would be delighted. And even if there were no gains in the end, he wouldn''t lose anything.


    Time passed once again.


    In the blink of an eye, more time had passed.


    Deep in the ck Mist Mountains,


    Lin Yuan''s figure rose again by ten meters. By now, the height of the demon tree had reached nearly fifty meters, its branches drooping, its canopy swaying, extraordinarily imposing.


    This was still the effect of Lin Yuan''s extreme suppression. If allowed to grow freely, the demon tree at this moment would be hundreds or even thousands of meters tall.


    It was worth noting that the ancestor demon tree in the outer realm, whose height was immeasurable, had millions or even tens of millions of demon seeds growing on a single branch.


    Otherwise, it wouldn''t have been able to stalemate with the Azure world until now.


    "My strength has temporarily reached its limit."


    "Next, consuming ordinary monsters and beasts won''t have much effect."


    Lin Yuan''s spiritual fluctuations slowly spread as he looked into the depths of the ck Mist Mountains.


    That was where the supreme ''king'' of the ck Mist Mountains resided.

 Chapter 197

    Chapter 197


    Help me buy a newputer :D /DavidLord


    ...


    The kings of the ck Mist Mountains are the most powerful beasts in the entire range.


    They have noble bloodlines and long lifespans, but most of the time, they are in a state of slumber.


    Ten years ago, Lin Yuan secretly observed a ''king'' who had the appearance of a phoenix and a vermilion bird, sleeping on a red wutong tree. (Seems like Ash when he saw a legendary pokemon for the first time haha :D)


    However, at that time, Lin Yuan did not have the confidence to deal with that ''king''.


    Of course, Lin Yuan''s "dealing with" meant dealing with it without being noticed.


    There are eight ''kings'' in the ck Mist Mountains, and the phoenix that Lin Yuan wants to deal with must not cause any major disturbances. Otherwise, alerting the other seven ''kings'' would cause unforeseen variables.


    "Almost there," Lin Yuan thought to himself.The eight ''kings'' of the ck Mist Mountains all possess strength ranging from the sixth rank to the peak of the sixth rank.


    Lin Yuan''s current strength also falls within the sixth rank range. In terms of pure strength, the two should be evenly matched.


    Even if one side could win, it would undoubtedlye at a great cost. It''spletely impossible to avoid rming the other ''kings''.


    But this is only for normal demonic trees.


    Lin Yuan is not a normal demonic tree. In addition to the many abilities of demonic trees, Lin Yuan also has insights into the rules of space, the rules of Yin and Yang, and the rules of strength.


    With Lin Yuan''s current understanding of the rules of space, with every move, he can open up a space prison, isting the heavens and the earth.


    This is also why Lin Yuan dares to take action against the ''kings'' of the ck Mist Mountains now.


    "Don''t hold back."


    "End the battle as soon as possible."


    In order to ensure the sess of this operation, the main body of the demonic tree slowly moved towards the depths of the ck Mist Mountains.


    In the deepest part of the ck Mist Mountains.


    Here is a valley connected to the underground magma, where the air is scorching.


    In the center of the valley, a red wutong tree stands tall. At the top of the wutong tree, there is a wind nest where a phoenix-like bird sleeps.


    Hiss, hiss, hiss.


    Just at this moment.


    Dozens of ck tree branches began to rapidly approach from all directions, surrounding the wind nest at the top of the wutong tree without any blind spots.


    The next moment.


    The icy ck tree branches were all burned to nothingness by mes.


    "Caw!!!"


    At the top of the wutong tree, within the wind nest, the phoenix quietly opened its eyes.


    "Who is it?"


    The phoenix emitted a terrifying mental fluctuation, and endless mes began to spread into the air.


    Human cultivators and the eight ''kings'' of the ck Mist Mountains once made a covenant, mutually not interfering with each other.


    The beasts of the ck Mist Mountains cannot cause trouble in the rear of human cultivators when they are resisting the invasion of foreign gods.


    On this point, the eight ''kings'' of the ck Mist Mountains have no objections.


    Although beasts and humans belong to two different races, they share the same world. Once the foreign gods invade, countless beasts in the ck Mist Mountains will also suffer.


    Therefore.


    For the past two to three hundred years.


    The eight ''kings'' of the ck Mist Mountains have suppressed countless beasts, never even starting a beast tide, just to cooperate with human cultivators.


    Of course, the covenant not only restricts the eight ''kings'' of the ck Mist Mountains, but human cultivators also cannot disturb the slumber of the ''kings''.


    However, now.


    The phoenix king didn''t know what kind of means these ck tree branches were, but they definitely didn''te from the beasts of the ck Mist Mountains.


    As a ''king'', the phoenix king has a noble bloodline and an unparalleled suppressive power over other beasts.


    Those beasts tremble when they see it. How could they dare to make a move?


    Therefore.


    The phoenix king believes that this is the work of human cultivators.


    This made the phoenix king even more angry. It faithfully fulfilled the covenant, but human cultivators took action against it instead.


    "Die!"


    The phoenix king was furious, and the mes of the phoenix boiled, burning all the ck tree branches that approached to nothingness.


    Time passed slowly.


    In the blink of an eye, nearly half a day had passed.


    At the beginning.


    The phoenix king was extremely excited. It didn''t know how long it had been since it had exerted such full force.


    As ''kings'' of their kind, they cannot easily take action, otherwise they would attract the attention of human cultivators, especially now, during a critical period of resisting foreign gods.


    ''But if I don''t take the initiative, and you humans provoke me, there shouldn''t be any problem with me taking action, right? I can even go to your alliance leader to hold you ountable.''


    The more the phoenix king thought about it, the more excited it became.


    The leader of the Azure Alliance, with extremely strong strength and a vast collection of treasures, had one treasure in particr that the phoenix king coveted.


    Before, the phoenix king felt embarrassed to ask for it because there was no reason. But now that human cultivators have broken the covenant, everything is justified.


    "Uh?"


    "Something''s not right."


    The Phoenix King urged the Phoenix mes while the ck tree branches around seemed endless, batch after batch being burned but showing no signs of stopping.


    "What''s going on?"


    The Phoenix King felt a bit uneasy.


    Its unease didn''t stem from the endless ck tree branches.


    Each of these ck branches was exceptionally sturdy, yet they couldn''t withstand the Phoenix mes.


    Even if more came, as long as its physical strength held, it wouldn''t matter.


    What made the Phoenix King uneasy was that it had been at it for so long, yet why hadn''t the other seven ''kings'' of the ck Mist Mountainse?


    It''s worth noting that the Phoenix mes had great power and caused quite a stir. By now, the entire ck Mist Mountains should knew what was happening here.


    Those seven old guys should havee by now, right?


    The Phoenix King couldn''t understand. The eight ''kings'' of the ck Mist Mountains had a rule of mutual vignce: if one side was in trouble, the other seven woulde to support.


    This was the key to the continued existence of the ck Mist Mountains and why they had not been ttened by human cultivators.


    Even the kings of the other nine mountain ranges had simr rules. All the beasts in the world of Azure had united to withstand human oppression.


    But now?


    The Phoenix King looked around.


    Even if those seven old guys were just watching and didn''t feel likeing over.


    The human cultivators outside the mountains should have noticed what was happening here. Under normal circumstances, they would have sent someone to investigate long ago.


    "Not good."


    The Phoenix King ignored the ck branches shooting from all directions.


    Instead, it spread its wings and soared into the sky, trying to leave the ck Mist Mountains.


    However, when the Phoenix King reached several dozen miles high, it seemed to encounter some kind of barrier, and its figure came to a sudden stop.


    "What''s this?"


    The Phoenix King carefully observed the barrier in front of it.


    Then, following the barrier, it looked around in all directions.


    Under the Phoenix King''s repeated observation, it suddenly discovered that it had fallen into a huge prison, with the space all aroundpressed into a space the size of a palm.


    As if trapped in a cage.


    The space around the Phoenix King had been reduced by hundreds, thousands, or even ten thousand times.


    Upon closer inspection, it was as if it had beenpressed into a tiny space no bigger than a palm. The Phoenix King''s massive figure now appeared as small as a sesame seed, constantly probing the surroundings like a headless fly.


    "This is the Spatial Imprisonment, formed by the first type of core spatial model, the thirteenth type of core spatial model, the twenty-first type of core spatial model, the thirtieth type of core spatial model, and the thirty-third type of core spatial model."


    Lin Yuan looked down at the struggling Phoenix King within the spatial prison.


    Simr to the ability of ''teleportation'', the Spatial Imprisonment was also the application of different core spatial models. Bypressing space, itpressed the enemy and the surrounding space into the size of a palm.


    Using the power of space to form a spatial barrier.


    Unless the enemy had a deeper understanding of space than himself, Or the power they wielded was more than ten times that of Lin Yuan''s, it would be difficult for them to escape.


    And based on Lin Yuan''s observation of this Phoenix King, although it resembled a phoenix, there was a fundamental difference from a true divine beast phoenix, and its understanding of space was not high.


    "The rules of space."


    Lin Yuan sighed lightly. It''s no wonder that in the main world, for the humans to ascend to eighth rank evolvers, they must have a deep understanding of the rules of space.


    Without understanding the rules of space, when encountering a strong individual proficient in space rules, one wouldn''t even know how they died.


    "Now, let''s just wear it out, and then strike when its physical and spiritual energy are exhausted."


    Lin Yuan looked at the palm-sized Phoenix King within the prison, patiently waiting.


    After all, this Phoenix King was now in his hands, and there was no need to confront it head-on.


    The scorching heat of the Phoenix mes was indeed terrifying, showing a tendency to restrain Lin Yuan.


    Several dayster.


    The Phoenix King''s expression became heavy, and its emitted aura dropped significantly.


    "This space."


    The Phoenix King vaguely realized something. What it now saw was no longer normal space, but a prison!


    "Who on earth..."


    "This kind of means... Could it be the Lord of the Azure Alliance? But why would they take action against me when the invasion of the foreign gods has not been resolved?"


    The Phoenix King felt uneasy.


    Suddenly.


    Just then.


    The space all around began to shatter.


    Seeing this, the Phoenix King''s expression brightened, and instinctively spread its wings to fly away.


    Boom!


    A pitch-ck tree trunk pressed down, and one after another, ck tree branches swiftly entangled.


    "This?"


    The Phoenix King widened its eyes. These branches now were far more powerful than the ones it had burned to nothing with the Phoenix mes at the beginning.


    "Who are you?"


    The Phoenix King felt that the branches entangling it were crazily devouring its qi, blood, and soul. In its final moments of consciousness, it followed the branches and saw a towering ancient tree fifty meters tall.


    The ancient tree exuded a majestic aura, faintly revealing a sense of madness and evil.


    "You, you''re not a creature of this realm, you''re a foreign god, you''re that ancient demonic tree!!!"


    The Phoenix King''s mind surged with towering waves. Although it had never seen a foreign god, it had seen the ancestral demonic tree. But the aura emitted by Lin Yuan at this moment waspletely different from the creatures of the Azure world.


    "Foreign gods have already infiltrated the world of Azure?"


    Such a thought surged in the mind of the Phoenix King, and its consciousness began to rapidly sink.


    The immense aura and soul of the Phoenix King werepletely swallowed by Lin Yuan.


    Although the Phoenix King had a shallow understanding of spatial rules, its qi and blood were indeed extremely vast and of high quality, providing great nourishment and promotion to the demonic tree.


    Moreover, the soul of the Phoenix King was also delicious, surpassing the total sum of souls of countless beasts Lin Yuan had previously devoured.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan was savoring the taste when he suddenly sensed seven powerful auras rising from the depths of the ck Mist Mountains.


    It was the remaining seven ''kings'' of the ck Mist Mountains.


    The disappearance of the Phoenix King''s aura for several days initially made these seven ''kings'' think that the Phoenix King was practicing some secret technique, so they didn''t investigate further.


    After all, in the eyes of these seven ''kings'', only a few people in the entire Azure world could silently deal with the Phoenix King.


    And those few individuals were currently busy resisting the invasion of the foreign gods, so it was impossible for them to take action.


    Therefore, these seven ''kings'' became negligent.


    But now.


    Several days had passed.


    The Phoenix King''s aura still hadn''t reappeared.


    This made the seven kings realize that something was amiss.


    When they finally joined forces to go to the Phoenix King''s nesting ce, they were astonished to find that the wutong tree where the nest was located, and even the valley, had disappeared without a trace.


    And now, the seven kings were erupting with their auras, searching for the Phoenix King together.


    "It''s still better to hide from the attention of the other seven kings."


    Lin Yuan restrained his aura and silently observed the positions of the seven ''kings''. Eventually, he discovered that they had gathered in one ce instead of being scattered. He sighed inwardly.


    With the ''Spatial Imprisonment'' he was currently employing, it wasn''t a problem to trap one king.


    Two or three could be managed with difficulty, but seven... that was a bit beyond his capabilities.


    To break free from Lin Yuan''s ''Spatial Imprisonment'', there were two methods.


    One was to have a deeper understanding of space than Lin Yuan.


    The other was to unleash a force more than ten times that of Lin Yuan''s.


    Under the full power of the seven ''kings'', the force they unleashed, with their innate talents and bloodlines, did indeed surpass Lin Yuan''s by more than ten times.


    "Take it slow."


    "Even if it takes a little longer, I''ll wait until Iprehend more core spatial models before dealing with them."


    Lin Yuanforted himself.


    He nned to continue lurking until hepletely surpassed the seven ''kings'' of the ck Mist Mountains.


    Outside the world of Azure.


    The ancestral demonic tree, towering tens of thousands of feet high, with endless branches hanging down, exuded a terrifying and evil power for millions of miles around.


    "These ants."


    The ancestral demonic tree looked down at the battlefield below, where countless puppets of the evil gods were rushing into the world.


    But they were all blocked by the strong ones in the Azure world. On the battlefield, a man in a green robe sat cross-legged, with a stone sword floating in front of him.


    "If it weren''t for the protection of the world..."


    The ancestral demonic tree stared at the stone sword for a moment, feeling somewhat unwilling.


    Rather than saying it was blocked by countless strong ones in the Azure world, it was being blocked by the world itself.


    Whether it was the sturdy world barrier or the stone sword, they both came from the Azure world itself.


    "Huh?"


    Just as the ancestral demonic tree was considering whether to give up on this world.


    With a casual sense, it unexpectedly discovered something.


    "Several decades ago, I spent some origin and scattered hundreds of thousands of seeds into the Azure world. Surprisingly, one seed managed to survive?"


    The ancestral demonic tree was somewhat surprised.


    Back then, it had paid some price to open a crack in the Azure world and had scattered hundreds of thousands of seeds into it, with the goal of disrupting the rear of the Azure world.


    Unfortunately.


    The ancestral demonic tree had underestimated the suppression of the world itself.


    The hundreds of thousands of seeds it had scattered had not grown at all. As time passed, they had died one after another.


    Originally, the ancestral demonic tree had resigned itself to fate.


    But now, it sensed that one seed had survived.


    Although this sensation was very weak due to the blockade of the world barrier, as its offspring, the ancestral demonic tree was still very sure.


    "Interesting."


    After pondering for a while, the ancestral demonic tree once again expended its origin, following the faint connection, its consciousness began to cross over.


    Deep in the ck Mist Mountains.


    Lin Yuan was digesting the qi, blood, and soul of the Phoenix King.


    Just then.


    In the area of the demonic tree''s roots.


    The pitch-ck mes suddenly began to boil.


    The next moment.


    A mental fluctuation emanated from within the pitch-ck mes.


    "You survived?"


    This mental fluctuation, although weak, was extremely profound.


    Lin Yuan almost instantly realized that this mental fluctuation came from the ancestral demonic tree outside the world.


    Now, what should he do? Lin Yuan''s thoughts turned, and based on the mental fluctuation from the ancestral demonic tree, he judged that the other party didn''t know his specific situation.


    Now, Lin Yuan was far more than just surviving, he was almost dominating the ck Mist Mountains.


    "Ancestor."


    Lin Yuan''s tone was slightly respectful, in line with the normal posture of the offspring of the ancestral demonic tree.


    "Although I survived, my current situation is not good."


    "I urgently need the help of the ancestor."

    Help me buy a newputer :D /DavidLord


    ...


    Lin Yuan had never underestimated the ancestral demon tree, as it was the current mother body of his own demonic tree.


    The ancestral demon tree possessed an unimaginable control over any demonic tree grown from demonic seeds, even across worlds. It could roughly perceive them and, with a price, exert even more influence.


    Because of this, when Lin Yuan sensed the ancestral demon tree reaching out to him, he didn''t react immediately. Instead, he portrayed himself as a struggling demonic tree that had managed to survive in the depths of the Azure World.


    Of course, Lin Yuan prepared for the worst-case scenario.


    He anticipated that if the ancestral demon tree sensed anything unusual about him ¨C growing to the peak of the Sixth Rank in just a few decades ¨C it would realize that something was amiss. However, this didn''t seem to be the case, as evidenced by the ancestral demon tree''s first question: "You''re still alive?"


    This was to be expected.


    If the ancestral demon tree truly had the ability topletely understand its offspring across worlds, it could have descended its consciousness instead of watching hundreds of thousands of demonic tree seeds perish in the Azure World.Since Lin Yuan decided to portray himself as a loyal demonic tree, he didn''t make any unreasonable demands. He knew that the ancestral demon tree scattered hundreds of thousands of demonic tree seeds into the Azure World to disrupt it, potentially serving as a beacon for the true ancestral demon tree residing outside the world.


    However, under the suppression of the world, most of these seeds had perished. If Lin Yuan''s consciousness hadn''t descended, his current demonic tree would have perished long ago.


    Therefore, in the present Azure World, Lin Yuan had be the only hope for the ancestral demon tree. If Lin Yuan were to die, the ancestral demon tree would have to descend into the Azure World through direct confrontation.


    Based on the information Lin Yuan had gathered over the years, the ancestral demon tree hadn''t gained any advantage outside the Azure World when faced with the united forces of the Azure Alliance. Against a world supported by such a force, the ancestral demon tree had no advantage and could not afford to continue the stalemate indefinitely.


    "The situation is dire," the ancestral demon tree didn''t doubt Lin Yuan''s words. If hundreds of thousands of demonic seeds were nearly extinct, "dire" was an understatement; the situation would be truly desperate.


    In fact, the ancestral demon tree had also underestimated the suppression of the Azure World.


    "How can I help you?" the ancestral demon tree asked Lin Yuan through their connection. As long as Lin Yuan was alive, its original n wouldn''t bepletely futile, offering another chance to descend into the Azure World.


    Thinking about this, the ancestral demon tree couldn''t help but feel a sense of joy. For three hundred years, it had been at a stalemate with the Azure Alliance and had even considered giving up on the Azure World. However, Lin Yuan''s survival brought hope.


    As long as Lin Yuan grew to a certain strength, the ancestral demon tree could open a spatial channel directly into the Azure World, with Lin Yuan''s cooperation, allowing it to devour everything in the world.


    "Ancestral tree, I want flesh and soul," Lin Yuan immediately replied. This was a normal demand for a demonic tree. The growth of a demonic tree didn''t require realm support; as long as there was enough flesh and soul, it could quickly improve.


    Essentially, a demonic tree originated from the ancestral demon tree, making it an extension of it.


    "Flesh and soul," the ancestral demon tree fell silent. Its true body was outside the world, so where could it obtain flesh and soul for Lin Yuan? Even if it managed to acquire them, it couldn''t deliver them.


    "Very well. It seems I have no choice," the ancestral demon tree pondered for a moment before making a decision.


    Buzzing, under the ancestral demon tree''s maniption, arge mass of demonic origin power split from itself.


    Demonic origin power was the core power of the ancestral demon tree and couldmunicate with various means of the ancestral demon tree, including the mother body and the offspring. Leveraging the connection between the mother body and the offspring, the ancestral demon tree could send some of its demonic origin power to the offspring.


    Lin Yuan realized that if the ancestral demon tree hadn''t bestowed its demonic origin power upon him, it wouldn''t have been worth it, given the current circumstances. If Lin Yuan didn''t have significant value to the ancestral demon tree and its ability to devour the Azure World, the ancestral demon tree wouldn''t have paid such a price.


    This mass of demonic origin power could summon an army of evil god puppets numbering over a million.


    In the depths of the ck Mist Mountains, Lin Yuan patiently awaited the ancestral demon tree''s response.


    "What if I''ve asked for too much?" Lin Yuan felt a bit puzzled by the ancestral demon tree''s silence.


    But the next moment, within the burning ck mes at the root area, a dark force slowly emerged.


    "What is this?"


    Lin Yuan was startled.


    The moment this dark force appeared, he felt his entire body tremble with a kind of longing.


    This was the origin of the ancestral demon tree.


    For him, as a subordinate demonic tree, it was the most eagerly absorbed power, far surpassing flesh and soul by countless times.


    To consume flesh and soul, it needed to be converted through the demonic tree itself. However, the origin of the ancestral demon tree was the purest power, capable of greatly enhancing the strength of the subordinate demonic tree almost infinitely.


    In theory, as long as this power was sufficient, the subordinate demonic tree could grow to the level of the ancestral demon tree.


    "This origin should be enough for you to cultivate for a while. Don''t disappoint me," the mental fluctuation from the ancestral demon tree conveyed a sense of weariness.


    After saying this, the connection with Lin Yuan was severed.


    The ancestral demon tree needed to constantly swallow the power of the void topensate for its losses.


    "Origin power of the ancestor?" Lin Yuan looked at this dark force, suppressing the desire in his heart.


    "Is the bestowal of such crucial origin power intended to ensure my survival?" Lin Yuan sneered inwardly.


    On the surface, it seemed like the ancestral demon tree was paying a huge price to ensure the survival of its offspring. In reality, it was just robbing Peter to pay Paul. As long as the ancestral demon tree could eventually descend into the Azure World, it could devour Lin Yuan''s demonic tree and reim the previously "invested" origin power.


    For an extraterritorial evil god like the ancestral demon tree, cruelty and malevolence were its essence; offspring were merely tools.


    "But who swallows whom in the end remains to be seen," Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    Lin Yuan was curious about such extraterritorial evil gods. His current demonic tree was just a sub-body of the evil god, far from being a true extraterritorial evil god.


    With the "origin power" sent by the ancestral demon tree, Lin Yuan entered another period of rapid growth.


    Originally, Lin Yuan thought that after dealing with the Phoenix King, he would lie low for a while, facing the remaining seven "Kings" who were sticking together.


    But the ancestral demon tree was too generous, sending such arge mass of origin power, equivalent to dozens of Phoenix Kings in size.


    Moreover, in terms of purity of power, the origin power of the ancestral demon tree was far superior to those of the beast kings.


    Firstly, this origin power was the fundamental power of the extraterritorial evil god. Secondly, it was the origin power of the ancestor, which was almost identical to Lin Yuan''s, so there was almost no need for any transformation.


    "It feels sofortable," Lin Yuan absorbed the origin power continuously, feeling the branches of the demonic tree undergoing transformation.


    This transformation was fundamental. The demonic tree Lin Yuan upied began to evolve towards the ancestral demon tree located outside the world.


    Next, Lin Yuan was toozy to continue hunting the demonic beasts in the depths of the ck Mist Mountains.


    Instead, after absorbing the origin power for a period of time, he actively contacted the ancestral demon tree to demand more.


    Facing Lin Yuan''s request for assistance, the ancestral demon tree was extremely generous, almost responding to every request.


    With the full support of the ancestral demon tree, Lin Yuan''s growth rate became faster and faster.


    In the depths of the ck Mist Mountains, Lin Yuan''s mind focused entirely on the cluster of burning ck mes at the root area.


    "Is this cluster of burning ck mes the core used by the ancestral demon tree to control its offspring?" Lin Yuan stared at the burning ck mes, silently pondering.


    The ancestral demon tree could contact him and send origin power through this cluster of burning ck mes.


    However, Lin Yuan''s entire demonic tree was already under control, except for this cluster of burning ck mes, which remained in his blind spot.


    Every time Lin Yuan attempted to refine this cluster of burning ck mes, he sensed an inherent risk.


    "Is it because of this that the ancestral demon tree is sopliant with my requests?" Lin Yuan thought silently.


    The ancestral demon tree could manipte Lin Yuan''s life and death with a single thought, and the means to do so were through this cluster of burning ck mes.


    Coupled with the absolute loyalty of the subordinate demonic tree to the ancestral demon tree, under various factors, it led to such strong support from the ancestral demon tree.


    In the eyes of the ancestral demon tree, everything it bestowed upon Lin Yuan could be reimed with almost no loss.


    "I can''t refine it," Lin Yuan carefully observed the burning ck mes.


    He found that he had no ability to refine it.


    As soon as he touched the burning ck mes, the ancestral demon tree would detect it.


    "In that case, I''ll seal it," Lin Yuan continued to observe the burning ck mes.


    The area where the burning ck mes were located was deep in Lin Yuan''s roots.


    Its influence on Lin Yuan was limited to a few possibilities: sudden explosion,pletely destroying the main trunk of the roots.


    Therefore, sealing it is the best choice.


    As for the method of sealing, it requires Lin Yuan''s extraordinary understanding. Based on his detailed situation and the state of the burning ck mes, he must create it.


    Time passed.


    In the blink of an eye, another ten years had passed.


    "Seal aplished."


    Lin Yuan''s mind converged in front of the burning ck mes in the root area.


    Strands of power, like spider webs forming countlessyers, slowly enveloped the burning ck mes.


    Then all the power hid in the depths of space.


    After ten years ofprehension, Lin Yuan finally, with his extraordinary understanding,prehended a method topletely seal the burning ck mes.


    This method consisted of sixty-three core spatial rules. As long as Lin Yuan had a thought, he could iste space. No matter what changes urred in the burning ck mes, they could not affect Lin Yuan''s true body.


    "It''s finally done."


    Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. With the sealing techniquepleted, Lin Yuan could be said to have formally escaped the control of the ancestral demon tree.


    Of course, the ancestral demon tree was unaware of this. In the eyes of such an extraterritorial evil god, its offspring were absolutely loyal and could not possibly betray it.


    The ancestral demon tree probably never dreamed that there would be someone like Lin Yuan.


    "Ten years of cultivation."


    After performing the sealing technique, Lin Yuan''s perception spread in all directions.


    During these ten years, creating the sealing technique only took up a small part of Lin Yuan''s time.


    In addition, Lin Yuan had gained much more.


    Firstly, his strength.


    Lin Yuan had now entered the seventh rank.


    ording to Lin Yuan''s previous estimate, breaking through to the seventh rank would require at least fifty to a hundred years. But the ancestral demon tree was too generous, constantly feeding him "origin power," allowing Lin Yuan to cross this stage of cultivation progress in just ten years.


    With a demonic tree at the seventh rank, its roots spread, covering almost the entire ck Mist Mountain Range. Millions of miles around were under Lin Yuan''s control.


    Apart from the area where the seven "Kings" resided in the deepest part of the ck Mist Mountains, Lin Yuan''s control over the ck Mist Mountain Range was unprecedented.


    Every demonic beast and creature, even the purple-eyed rabbits, were under Lin Yuan''s watch.


    It could be said that nothing that happened in the ck Mist Mountain Range could escape Lin Yuan''s notice.


    Now, Lin Yuan had a bit of the majesty of the ancestral demon tree, which could single-handedly contend with the Azure World from outside the world.


    "Space."


    Lin Yuan sensed around slightly.


    Over the decades, Lin Yuan had made great progress inprehending the core spatial model.


    Space was everywhere, with extremely wide applicability. The sealing technique Lin Yuanprehended was also based on many core spatial models.


    Now Lin Yuan hadprehended two hundred and sixty-seven core spatial models, surpassing the understanding of space of ordinary eighth-rank evolvers.


    It should be noted that ordinary eighth-rank evolvers who had just entered the eighth rank onlyprehended a few, at most dozens, of core spatial models.


    Lin Yuan''sprehension of over two hundred core spatial models was probably equivalent to several hundred or even thousands of years of arduous cultivation for ordinary eighth-rank evolvers.

    ...


    "If I were to return now, back to the main world, the size of my inner world would likely exceed a hundred miles, or even several hundred miles," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Normally, an evolver who has just entered the Eighth Rank would have an inner world reaching a radius of a hundred miles.


    Apanied by continuous cultivation and deepening at the Eighth Rank, the inner world would slowly grow.


    The premise of this growth mainly depends on theprehension of spatial rules.


    It also involves grasping more core spatial models, this leads to the inner world bing more stable, thus making it easier to expand.


    Without sufficientprehension of space, forcibly expanding the inner world could potentially lead to its copse.


    But with Lin Yuan''s current understanding of spatial rules, expanding the inner world to several hundred miles would be effortless.With an inner world several hundred miles in size, even if Lin Yuan were only at the initial stage of the Seventh Rank, relying on the immense power of his world would be enough to contend with evolvers just entering the Eighth Rank.


    "The Seventh Rank of Martial Dao" Lin Yuan mused momentarily.


    For many years, he had spent a significant amount of time perfecting the evolution path of the Seventh Rank of Martial Dao.


    After all, Lin Yuan was well aware that his foundationy in the martial evolution system, while his cultivation system in the Demonic Tree was only temporary.


    Entities like the Primordial Demonic Tree advanced quickly in the early stages of cultivation but carried many hidden dangers.


    They were far inferior to the bnced progress of the martial evolution system.


    "Now I''ve essentially perfected the ''Baron Stage'' of the Seventh Rank, and next is the ''Marquis Stage''" Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    In the main world, many evolutionary paths divide the Seventh Rank into three stages:


    Baron Stage.


    Marquis Stage.


    King Stage.


    Lin Yuan simrly divided the Seventh Rank of Martial Dao into these three stages.


    Perfecting the Baron Stage is equivalent topleting one-third of the Seventh Rank.


    Only the Marquis Stage and the King Stage remain.


    "It''s about time to take action."


    Lin Yuan nced at the deepest part of the ck Mist Mountain Range.


    Since the disappearance of the Phoenix King, the remaining seven ''Kings'' of the ck Mist Mountain Range had gathered together.


    This behavior thwarted Lin Yuan''s idea of systematically defeating them one by one.


    For nearly a decade, Lin Yuan''s roots had spread throughout every corner of the ck Mist Mountain Range, except for the deepest part.


    He was afraid of alerting the enemy.


    But now, with Lin Yuan''s strength, he could easily suppress those seven Kings with a flick of his wrist.


    In the deepest part of the ck Mist Mountain Range,


    Seven colossal creatures stood.


    A terrifying aura pervaded the area. Ordinary beasts, not to mention approaching, would be frightened by the slightest sensation.


    These seven colossal creatures were the seven ''Kings'' of the ck Mist Mountain Range.


    Alongside the former Phoenix King, they were collectively known as the Eight Kings of the ck Mist, absolute rulers of the ck Mist Mountain Range for countless ages.


    However, at this moment, among these seven ''Kings,'' the atmosphere was tense, and their expressions revealed worry.


    "Where did the Phoenix King go? It''s been a whole decade, and there''s no trace of him" the Monkey King muttered softly, sending massive shockwaves in all directions.


    As soon as these words were spoken, the other five Kings exchanged nces.


    They, too, wanted to know the whereabouts of the Phoenix King.


    Ten years ago, the sudden disappearance of the Phoenix King, along with the Phoenix Tree and the me Valley, gave rise to ominous thoughts in their minds.


    Exactly because of this, for the past ten years, the seven Kings had gathered together and never parted, all to guard against something.


    But this couldn''t go on forever.


    It had already been ten years, and there was still no sign of the Phoenix King, which meant the situation was probably dire.


    "We can''t continue waiting."


    "I''ll go outter and see the leader of the Azure Alliance, inquire if he knows anything about this."


    The leading colossal King finally spoke.


    Among the Eight Kings of the ck Mist, the King of Elephants was the leader, carrying the bloodline of ancient elephants within.


    "Yes."


    "Let''s go ask the leader of the Azure Alliance."


    "Indeed, even if the leader doesn''t know, it''s worth investigating."


    "I want to see who dares to make a move against our ck Mist Mountain Range."


    The other beast Kings discussed eagerly.


    The leader of the Azure Alliance was the strongest in the Azure World, the main force against the extraterrestrial evil gods.


    Given the character of the leader of the Azure Alliance, he would never tolerate internal disturbances in the Azure World while facing external threats.


    However, until the matter was confirmed, they dared not contact the leader of the Azure Alliance casually.


    In case they reported to the Azure Alliance, and the Phoenix King returned right after, it would be embarrassing.


    They might even face reprimand from the leader.


    But now, it had been ten years, and there was still no news of the Phoenix King, so they could report to the leader of the Azure Alliance with confidence.


    "Let''s go."


    "We''ll go out together."


    The seven beast Kings stood up, ready to fly outside.


    Suddenly.


    The King of the Elephant''s gaze shifted slightly.


    "There''s trouble outside," the King of the Elephants said, his body pausing as he looked around with great seriousness.


    "Trouble?" The other five Kings became immediately alert at his words.


    In the next moment...


    Buzz.


    A ck vine descended from the sky.


    "Hmm?" The Monkey King''s face changed drastically, instinctively attempting to evade.


    Though unclear about the nature of the ck vine, the instinct of a beast kingpelled the Monkey King to distance himself.


    Yet, at this moment, the Monkey King''s movements seemed to slow down countless times over.


    More urately, the space around the Monkey King seemed to stretch many times over, making the distance he could have easily covered in one step now seem like he was running in ce.


    Swish.


    In an instant, the ck vine wrapped around the Monkey King and dragged him upwards.


    The King of the Elephants and the other five beast Kings could clearly see the Monkey King, entangled by the ck vine, still struggling fiercely.


    But it was in vain, as he was swiftly dragged away without any resistance.


    "What is that?"


    Only at this moment did the King of the Elephants and the other five beast Kings notice a towering ancient tree not far away, which seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.


    The ancient tree stood countless miles tall, its trunk presenting a pitch-ck hue, shrouded in a sinister, chaotic aura.


    And just now, what dragged away the Monkey King was merely one of the countless vines of this ancient tree.


    "Not good."


    The King of the Elephants and the other beast Kings felt their scalps tingling.


    They had no idea when such a monster had appeared near theirir. If a vine from the tree could drag away the Monkey King, who had such formidable strength, then how powerful was the entire tree?


    As for the evil and chaotic aura emitted by the ancient god, the King of the Elephants and the other five beast Kings were too chaotic in their minds to contemte.


    Their only thought was¡ª


    Run.


    Run as far as they could.


    Boom!!


    The terrifyingly powerful beast Kings almost simultaneously charged in five different directions.


    Even in such a panicked state, they instinctively chose different directions.


    In doing so, they could at least divert the attention of the terrifying ancient tree.


    Rumble.


    Six ck vines descended from the towering ancient tree.


    Five of the beast Kings faced the entangling vines, struggling for a while before being swiftly dragged away, just like the Monkey King.


    Only the King of the Elephants remained.


    "Ah ah ah ah, break for me!!"


    The colossal body of the King of the Elephants erupted with earth-shattering power.


    As a descendant of ancient elephants, the King of the Elephants inherited some of the terrifying talents of ancient elephants.


    Ancient elephants were said to be not from the Azure World but from beyond.


    It was with these talents that the King of the Elephants could overpower the other seven Kings of the ck Mist Mountain Range and secure the throne as the strongest beast King.


    In fact, not only in the ck Mist Mountain Range, among the dozens of beast Kings in the other nine mountain ranges of the Azure World, the strength of the King of the Elephants could be considered terrifying, ranking in the top three or even the first.


    Boom!


    Faced with the easily entangling ck vines, the potential of the King of the Elephants was fully unleashed. His blood boiled, and a huge phantom of an elephant appeared behind him.


    Crack.


    Under the King of the Elephants'' frenzied outburst and the deployment of dozens of secret techniques to enhance his strength, the ck vine was finally shattered, at least freeing him from being dragged away like the other beast Kings.


    "My strength, my bloodline."


    The King of the Elephants had not yet emerged with joy when he suddenly turned his head and despairingly found that hundreds or even thousands of ck vines were sweeping towards him.


    "This..."


    The King of the Elephants'' face turned ashen.


    He had expended enormous effort to barely break one ck vine, only to be confronted with hundreds or thousands more when he turned around.


    How was he supposed to deal with this?


    In utter despair, the King of the Elephants did not resist this time.


    Instead, he actively jumped into the mass of ck vines and allowed himself to be dragged away.


    "Good, from today onwards, the ck Mist Mountain Range is entirely mine."


    Lin Yuan''s figure rapidly diminished, and under the influence of spatial rules, even those seven colossal beast Kings began to shrink in size.


    Wrapped in ck vines, hanging under the branches.


    Lin Yuan nced at the seven beast Kings who were asleep and did not intend to devour them.


    If it were before the contact with the Ancient Demonic Tree, facing such "delicious" beast Kings, Lin Yuan would probably have chosen to devour them immediately.


    Just like devouring the Phoenix King.


    It could quickly enhance his own strength and foundation.


    But with the "feeding" from the Ancient Demonic Tree, Lin Yuan lost interest in these ordinary flesh and soul.


    Even if these beast Kings were strong and vigorous, could theypare to the origin power of the Ancient Demonic Tree?


    The two werepletely iparable; the origin power of the Ancient Demonic Tree was the core power of an extraterrestrial demon god.


    In theory, as long as Lin Yuan devoured enough origin power from the Ancient Demonic Tree, there was a possibility of recing it and bing an independent extraterrestrial demon god.


    "They can stay for now; they''ll be useful in the future."


    Lin Yuan did not kill the seven beast Kings. In his future ns, he should be able to make use of these seven beast Kings when needed.


    For now, he left them there.


    Anyway, at this moment, these seven beast Kings were in a state of deep sleep, almost equivalent to being dead, which did not affect Lin Yuan''s next actions.


    "Let''s begin."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts stirred slightly.


    With the seven beast Kings dealt with, Lin Yuan had no more reservations and began to extend his roots towards the deepest part of the ck Mist Mountain Range.


    "Hmm? There''s arge spiritual vein here. No wonder those beast Kings made this area theirir."


    Lin Yuan''s roots delved deep into the ground, entwining around the abundant spiritual energy within therge spiritual vein, slowly devouring its pure spiritual power.


    If the origin power fed by the Ancient Demonic Tree was considered the main course, then thisrge spiritual vein was like an appetizer, something to taste before the main meal.


    Several dayster, Lin Yuan''s roots hadpletely covered the deepest part of the ck Mist Mountain Range.


    In other words, now, the millions or even tens of millions of miles of the ck Mist Mountain Range were all under Lin Yuan''s root coverage.


    At this moment, Lin Yuan had truly be the "uncrowned king" of the ck Mist Mountain Range, far surpassing the "uncrowned kings" of past beast Kings.


    After all, the past beast Kings of the ck Mist Mountain Range only nominally ruled over it, but Lin Yuan effectively controlled it, with his roots spreading throughout every corner of the ck Mist Mountain Range.


    "Ancestor, the environment in the ck Mist Mountain Range is too harsh. Not long ago, several powerful beasts almost attacked me."


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness sank into the root area and, as usual,ined to the Ancient Demonic Tree.


    "The ck Mist Mountain Range. With its multitude of beasts, it''s extremely dangerous. You have indeed endured a lot," the Ancient Demonic Tree consoled.


    After countless battles with countless practitioners in the Azure World, it had some understanding of many things within the Azure World.


    Among them, the ck Mist Mountain Range, as one of the ten major beast mountain ranges in the Azure World, was undoubtedly dangerous.


    In the eyes of the Ancient Demonic Tree, Lin Yuan being able to survive in the ck Mist Mountain Range was a miracle in itself.


    "In that case, I''ll give you some more origin power for self-preservation."


    After some thought, the Ancient Demonic Tree considered Lin Yuan thest hope for its descent into the Azure World. How could it allow him to die at the hands of the beasts in the ck Mist Mountain Range?


    "Thank you, Ancestor."


    Lin Yuan expressed his gratitude.


    In fact, Lin Yuan saw the current Ancient Demonic Tree as somewhat in a dilemma.


    Over the past decade, the Ancient Demonic Tree had invested a considerable amount of origin power in Lin Yuan.


    This origin power had to be "retrieved" when the Ancient Demonic Tree descended into the Azure World.


    But to descend into the Azure World, it had to continue feeding Lin Yuan with "origin power." This put the Ancient Demonic Tree in a somewhat awkward position.


    Before contacting Lin Yuan, the Ancient Demonic Tree did not consider the Azure World as a necessity.


    If it could descend naturally, that would be good. If it couldn''t, and the situation became deadlocked, leaving was not a big loss either.


    But now, if the Ancient Demonic Tree chose to leave, the loss would be significant, with so much origin power invested in Lin Yuan.


    It would probably take thousands or even tens of thousands of years for it to recover.


    "The loss is only temporary. Keep your eyes on the long term. As long as you can descend into the Azure World, any loss can be recovered. Moreover, devouring the essence of a world will greatly benefit me."


    With this mindset, the Ancient Demonic Tree once again sent a portion of its origin power to Lin Yuan.

    "Thank you, Ancestor."


    Receiving anotherrge bundle of ''origin,'' Lin Yuan immediately expressed his gratitude.


    Lin Yuan''s gratitude was indeed heartfelt. In the past five transmigrations, he had mostly relied on himself, even when he became the young master of an Immortal Sect during his fifth transmigration.


    Most of the resources Lin Yuan needed for cultivation also depended on his Yin and Yang spirits venturing outside.


    However, now, as long as Lin Yuanined, the Ancestor Demonic Tree would risk depletion to actively send over the origin.


    Of course, Lin Yuan was also aware that the Ancestor Demonic Tree''s actions were entirely self-serving.


    As long as it sessfully descended into the Azure World, he would likely be the first to die.Over the years, the Ancestor Demonic Tree had invested a significant amount of origin in him, which naturally needed to be recovered.


    However, just as the Ancestor Demonic Tree considered devouring Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan also considered devouring the Ancestor Demonic Tree.


    At present, the existence of the Ancestor Demonic Tree was far more beneficial than detrimental to Lin Yuan.


    It was equivalent to an inexhaustible treasure trove for cultivation.


    In addition, Lin Yuan had already used sealing techniques to resolve the control of the Ancestor Demonic Tree over the offspring Demonic Tree, eliminating even basic hidden dangers.


    "Keep cultivating diligently."


    "Grow to the Fifth Stage as soon as possible."


    The spiritual fluctuations emitted by the Ancestor Demonic Tree carried an encouraging tone, as if gently instructing a respectful elder.


    The growth of the Demonic Tree was different from that of normal cultivators.


    It was divided into stages.


    Specifically, the First Stage, Second Stage, Third Stage, and so on.


    The Ancestor Demonic Tree itself was in the Eighth Stage, a powerful evil god that traversed the outer realms.


    The offspring Demonic Tree was a continuation of the Ancestor Demonic Tree, with an inexplicable connection between the two.


    As long as the offspring Demonic Tree grew to the Fifth Stage, its life essence would be sufficient to establish a ''space channel'' with the Ancestor Demonic Tree.


    At that time, the Ancestor Demonic Tree would be able to enter the Azure World through another method.


    This was also the ultimate n of the Ancestor Demonic Tree. With the current situation, forcefully entering the Azure World was not realistic.


    "Rest assured, Ancestor."


    "I will do my best to grow."


    "The glory of the Ancestor will soon envelop this world. At that time, all living beings will submit to the Ancestor''s feet."


    Lin Yuan was also painting a rosy picture for the Ancestor Demonic Tree.


    There was no other way. If the Ancestor Demonic Tree now abandoned the Azure World and ran away, Lin Yuan could only watch helplessly.


    So he had to keep the Ancestor Demonic Tree hooked as much as possible, making it believe that hope was within reach, coupled with the ''costs'' formed by many early investments.


    Only then could he firmly bind the Ancestor Demonic Tree outside the world.


    "This is natural."


    "As long as I can upy this world, I can give you freedom and let you be a new god."


    The Ancestor Demonic Tree said seriously.


    In fact, the Ancestor Demonic Tree had no intention of letting Lin Yuan live.


    What a joke, after consuming so much of my origin, you still want to live?


    But some things couldn''t be said so directly. Even facing the offspring Demonic Tree, his mere thought could decide its life or death.


    Some lip service was necessary.


    And so, the two trees with different intentions severed their connection.


    In the deepest part of the ck Mist Mountain Range.


    Lin Yuan pondered the information revealed by the Ancestor Demonic Tree just now.


    "The Fifth Stage."


    Lin Yuan pondered in his heart. The growth of the Demonic Tree was different from cultivation; it was rted to strength but not entirely dependent on it.


    For example, now that Lin Yuan already had Seventh Rank strength, he still remained at the Sixth Stage in the growth stage of the Demonic Tree.


    "With the barrier of the world and my own breath concealment, the Ancestor Demonic Tree cannot perceive which stage I have grown to."


    Lin Yuan secretly thought that the Azure World had a high awareness of the Ancestor Demonic Tree. Decades ago, in order to open a gap in the barrier of the Azure World to sow the seeds of the Demonic Tree, the Ancestor Demonic Tree had paid a great price.


    Since then, the Azure World''s vignce against the Ancestor Demonic Tree had reached a new level.


    Therefore, the Ancestor Demonic Tree''s perception of Lin Yuan was actually very limited. Coupled with the many breath-concealing techniques Lin Yuan hadprehended, it was virtually foolproof.


    "On the battlefield outside the world, the Azure Alliance has recently been victorious one after another."


    Lin Yuan''s gaze shifted towards a certain direction, where countless Azure Alliance powerhouses were locked in battle with demonic puppets.


    It wasn''t surprising to Lin Yuan that the Azure Alliance had gained the upper hand on the battlefield.


    Over the past decade, the Ancestor Demonic Tree had ''supported'' him with countless amounts of its own origin power. This had led to a decline in strength and a reduction in the number of demonic puppets he could summon.


    Strictly speaking, although Lin Yuan was the offspring of the Ancestor Demonic Tree, he still contributed to the Azure World by reducing the Ancestor Demonic Tree''s power.


    Outside the world, as the Azure Alliance gained the advantage, Lin Yuan was credited with the achievement.


    Outside the Azure World, the towering figure of the Ancestor Demonic Tree stood amidst the void, countless vines swaying, and a terrifying demonic domain spreading in all directions.


    Facing the Ancestor Demonic Tree were thirteen figures standing side by side.


    They were none other than the leader and twelve vice leaders of the Azure Alliance.


    The leader of the Azure Alliance was the strongest in the Azure World, wielding the Sword of the World, capable of unleashing eighth-rank strength.


    As for the twelve vice leaders, they were all seventh-rank beings, not to be underestimated.


    "Evil god, meet your end."


    The leader of the Azure Alliance grasped a stone sword and shed towards the Ancestor Demonic Tree.


    Rip!


    Arge amount of spatial power was torn apart, forming chaotic spatial turbulence, carrying the momentum of the void.


    The Ancestor Demonic Tree remained massive, countless ck vines swaying, barely blocking the sword.


    "If it weren''t for this world, you ants would have no right to stand before me."


    The Ancestor Demonic Tree emitted a vast spiritual fluctuation.


    What it feared most was the stone sword in the hands of the Azure Alliance leader.


    It was the Sword of the World, nurtured by the Azure World for countless millennia. Normally, such a weapon should have remained dormant deep within the world, functioning in tandem with the world''s operations.


    However, due to the Ancestor Demonic Tree''s invasion this time, the Azure World became exceptionally vignt, unhesitatingly bringing forth the stone sword to resist the invasion of the evil gods.


    After a great battle, the Ancestor Demonic Tree voluntarily retreated.


    The leader of the Azure Alliance and the twelve vice leaders could only relent.


    Next to the Azure World, they could contend with the Ancestor Demonic Tree, but if they were far from the Azure World, it would be suicide.


    The closer the stone sword in the hands of the Azure Alliance leader was to the Azure World, the greater its power.


    Likewise, the farther it was from the Azure World, the weaker its power, eventually bing no different from an ordinary sword.


    "Leader, have you noticed? This time, the extraterrestrial evil god seem to be much weaker."


    One of the vice leaders pondered for a moment before speaking.


    "Indeed."


    The leader of the Azure Alliance nodded.


    Since the Ancestor Demonic Tree''s invasion began, they would engage in battle with it every four or five decades.


    With the protection of the stone sword, they could fully engage in battle with the Ancestor Demonic Tree.


    However, this time, the Ancestor Demonic Tree did not fight them.


    And from the few encounters they had, they faintly sensed the weakness of the Ancestor Demonic Tree.


    "What''s going on exactly?"


    "Is the evil god deliberately showing weakness to lure us in?"


    The leader of the Azure Alliance was somewhat uncertain.


    The sudden decline in the Ancestor Demonic Tree''s strength waspletely inexplicable; they had never even injured the other party.


    How could its strength inexplicably decline?


    Therefore¡ª


    The leader of the Azure Alliance''s first reaction was whether the Ancestor Demonic Tree deliberately revealed its weakness to lure them in?


    In the deepest part of the ck Mist Mountain Range, Lin Yuan sensed every detail within tens of millions of miles.


    Then he continued hisprehension.


    [Your insight is extraordinary,prehending the nature of the demonic seeds, improving their parasitic nature.]


    [Your insight is extraordinary,prehending the nature of the demonic seeds, improving their parasitic nature.]


    [Your insight is extraordinary,prehending the nature of the demonic seeds, improving their parasitic nature.]


    In front of Lin Yuan, grayish seeds floated.


    As a natural talent of the Demonic Tree, the demonic seeds had many effects, among which the ''parasitism'' ability was highly valued by Lin Yuan.


    However, the original parasitic ability of the demonic seeds was too crude, causing the host to behave like a zombie, which was too obvious.


    So, in recent decades, Lin Yuan had set aside some time every day to improve the shorings of the demonic seeds.


    "It''s been preliminarily improved."


    "Let''s see how it works."


    Lin Yuan nced at the monstrous beasts entangled by ck vines beside him.


    The reason Lin Yuan spared the lives of these monstrous beasts was because they were useful. Now was the perfect time to test the ''parasitic'' ability of the demonic seeds.


    As for why he didn''t parasitize those low-level monstrous beasts first, it was simply a waste of Lin Yuan''s seeds.


    The parasitic ability of the demonic seeds depended entirely on the strength of the host.


    If the host had fifth-rank strength, after parasitism, they could still maintain fifth-rank strength.


    If the host has only first-rank strength, they will remain at first-rank even after parasitism. In Lin Yuan''s eyes, only a few demon beast kings reaching sixth-rank in the entire ck Mist Mountain Range barely had any value for parasitism.


    Rustle.


    A ck vine loosened.


    A demon beast king fell.


    As it descended, its body rapidly erged, bing a colossal creature uponnding.


    "Where am I?"


    This demon beast king was the Monkey King. After being unconscious for so long, it now woke up, momentarily disoriented.


    "Huh?"


    "No, this isn''t right."


    Just a few breathster, the Monkey King realized the situation and immediately became nervous.


    Turning its head, it saw itself under the horrifying ancient tree, sending a shiver down its spine.


    The Monkey King instinctively tried to flee but found that it was permeated with a sinister power, making even the slightest movement extremely difficult, let alone running?


    As the Monkey King pondered whether to speak a few words, a grayish seed fell from a branch and swiftly approached it.


    "What is that?"


    Though unable to move, the Monkey King instinctively sensed danger.


    Buzz.


    The grayish seed fell straight onto the Monkey King''s forehead, then rapidly grew and rooted itself into the Monkey King''s forehead.


    "Ah!"


    The Monkey King let out a painful roar. At this moment, it felt as if its head had exploded, and its consciousness began to blur.


    "This seed... Is it trying to rece me?"


    A wave of terror surged in the Monkey King''s heart.


    The grayish seed was currently rooting itself in the depths of its consciousness, slowly discing its original consciousness, attempting to take over its mind.


    "No!"


    "I don''t want this!"


    The Monkey King struggled violently.


    Compared to being reced,plete death was a relief.


    The Monkey King struggled frantically, gathering thest remnants of its consciousness, and charged towards the demonic seed.


    However, unfortunately....


    As the Monkey King, its entire body was suppressed by Lin Yuan''s power at this moment. How could it resist the demonic seed with just a bit of remaining consciousness?


    Just half a dayter, the Monkey King''s consciousnesspletely dissipated.


    The parasitism of the demonic seed was sessful.


    Outside, Lin Yuan observed the changes in the Monkey King.


    "Master."


    At this moment, the Monkey King slowly crawled up from the ground and bowed slightly to Lin Yuan.


    "The parasitism was sessful."


    Lin Yuan could clearly sense the aura of the demonic seed emanating from the depths of the Monkey King''s mind.


    "Master, I now possess all the memories and abilities of the Monkey King."


    The Monkey King began to report.


    Half an hourter, Lin Yuan sent the Monkey King away.


    Now, the Monkey King had been reced by the demonic seed, and there was no need to worry about loyalty.


    "Not bad."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    By observing the reactions of the reced Monkey King, as long as he paid more attention, it would be basically indistinguishable from the original Monkey King.


    At least it was much better than the initial state, where the parasitized life would be vacant-eyed and stiff in movement.


    Now, the demonic seed not only perfectly integrated into the host''s body but also gained ess to all of its memories.


    It was almost able to achieve a level of deception.


    "But there are still some ws."


    "Continue to improve."


    After pondering for a while, Lin Yuan nned to spend the next time improving and perfecting with his extraordinary insight.


    The reason why Lin Yuan devoted so much effort to parasitism was to prepare for the subsequent dissemination of martial arts.


    Unfortunately, the image of the Demonic Tree was not favorable, so Lin Yuan needed to find some ''spokespersons.'' These ''spokespersons'' had to be absolutely loyal to Lin Yuan, which perfectly matched the parasitic ability of the demonic seed.


    "Martial arts."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts surged. Despite being limited by the Demonic Tree itself, everything he did now was paving the way for martial arts, and disseminating the path of martial arts evolution was the main n for the next few hundred years.


    "Let''s continue cultivating."


    Lin Yuan''s mind immersed in cultivation, and his aura became increasingly terrifying, like an unfathomable ocean.


    No one knew, including the invincible leader of the Azure Alliance and the Ancestor Demonic Tree.


    In the seemingly ''absolutely safe'' rear of the Azure World, changes were urring that could potentially overturn the current situation.

 Chapter 201

    Chapter 201


    Name: Demon Tree (Lin Yuan)


    Identity: Controller of the Gate of the Myriad Realms


    Bound Talent: Unrivaled Insight


    Divine Ability: Blood Rebirth


    Current Status: Consciousness Descended


    Remaining Residency Time: Five Hundred Years


    "Another thirty years have passed."


    Deep within the ck Mist Mountains, Lin Yuan transformed into the Demon Tree. Although only a hundred meters tall, its roots spread out for tens of millions of miles in all directions.


    Even its hundred-meter stature was the result of Lin Yuan''s utmost suppression. If it chose to unleash itself, it could easily swell tens of millions of times, obscuring the sky."Master, master."


    At this moment, a bird with blue wings flew over andnded on Lin Yuan''s trunk.


    Compared to Lin Yuan, this blue-winged bird''s aura was extremely faint. However, in the outside world, it was still a king among monsters,manding countless powerful and fierce beasts.


    "Everything is normal, master."


    The blue-winged bird spoke respectfully.


    This blue-winged bird had long been parasitized by Lin Yuan with a demon seed, making it absolutely loyal to him.


    In a sense, there was hardly any difference between this blue-winged bird and Lin Yuan''s incarnation. Being reced by the demon seed of the Demon Tree, as long as Lin Yuan wished, it could be his vessel at any time, with consciousness descending from afar.


    "Don''t let your guard down."


    Lin Yuan reminded.


    "Rest assured, master."


    The blue-winged bird immediately replied.


    Its tone and demeanor were no different from a normal monster king.


    Over the past thirty years, Lin Yuan had made considerable progress in parasitizing life forms with demon seeds.


    Parasitized beings showed hardly any external abnormalities. Even due to the influence of their original memories, their expressions and habits had not changed.


    It had reached a level of perfect deception.


    In fact, it couldn''t be said to be perfect deception. Essentially, the life forms parasitized by the demon seeds were still alive; it''s just that under the influence of the demon seeds, they subconsciously regarded Lin Yuan as their absolute loyal object.


    "The talents of the extraterritorial gods are truly unimaginable."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    In fact, Lin Yuan was overthinking it. The parasitic methods of the primordial Demon Tree had significant ws. The parasitized beings had many restrictions, and even if sessful, they couldn''t disguise their original selves.


    Their movements were stiff, their gaze vacant, and they could only be used as cannon fodder.


    What Lin Yuan had perfected now was not so much the terrifying abilities of the extraterritorial gods as it was his own Unrivaled Insight.


    Being able to deduce advanced methods from known things was truly astounding progress.


    "However, within the Azure world, strong individuals have been mostly deployed to the battlefield outside the world. Now, within the Azure world, apart from those monster kings, there are no other lives worth parasitizing."


    Lin Yuan sighed.


    Although the perfected parasitic method could perfectly rece the parasitized beings, the difficulty of giving birth to the core demon seed of the Demon Tree had also greatly increased.


    If it were just the initial parasitism, Lin Yuan could condense tens of thousands or even millions of demon tree seeds with a single thought.


    But now, it took him half a year to condense one.


    Currently, apart from using the demon tree seeds on the seven monster kings of the ck Mist Mountains, Lin Yuan only had thirty-six seeds left.


    And Lin Yuan vaguely felt that a maximum of one hundred demon tree seeds could exist simultaneously.


    Simply put, regardless of whether they had already parasitized other lives or not, there could only be a maximum of one hundred demon tree seeds.


    To condense the hundred and first seed, it was necessary for one of the parasitized beings to die and the demon tree seed to be destroyed.


    But even so, the total number of demon tree seeds would still be one hundred.


    "Why is this? Is it a rule or a restriction of the Dao?"


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    This phenomenon often urred in the main world''s cosmic sky as well.


    For example, those special lives with powerful talents and a very high starting point. Precisely because of this, the number of such special lives was very few.


    Did these special lives not want to reproduce offspring?


    Not necessarily.


    It was because they couldn''t reproduce, or reproduction was very difficult.


    Rtively speaking, the reproduction of human civilization was much easier.


    But individual humans basically had no talent, and their starting point was very low. A first-rank evolver was already superior to ny-nine percent of humans.


    Precisely because the difficulty of condensing the perfected demon tree seeds had increased, Lin Yuan did not continue parasitizing. He couldn''t just casually choose a human in this world to parasitize, could he? That would be a waste.


    Lin Yuan''s parasitic targets had to be at least sixth rank, otherwise, it would be a waste, without the value of parasitism.


    "But... in such a long time, besides awakening the talent of the demon tree seed, I haven''t awakened any other abilities?"


    Lin Yuan fell into a brief contemtion.


    As an extradimensional god spanning the realms, feeding on worlds, how could the primordial Demon Tree have only one talent, the demon tree seed? Just thinking about it made it seem impossible.


    If there were only demon tree seeds, how could the primordial Demon Tree contend with countless strong individuals from the Azure world outside the world for such a long time?


    Keep in mind, over the years through continuous inquiries, Lin Yuan also understood the basic configuration of the Azure world''s alliance.


    First, there was the leader of the Azure Alliance, with the peak strength of the sixth rank, wielding the World Sword, capable of exerting eighth-rank power.


    Secondly, there were twelve deputy leaders, all of them sixth-rank powerhouses.


    Thirdly, there were thirty-three guardians, peak sixth-rank powerhouses.


    Finally, there are one hundred and fifty-six elders, all sixth-rank powerhouses.


    The strength of the Azure world is very strong. In the main world, it would at least be considered an ordinary group, second only to peak groups and powerful groups.


    For the primordial Demon Tree to be able to confront the Azure Alliance for such a long time, its methods and heritage must be absolutelyparable, if not stronger.


    "It should have left a contingency n for me."


    "It''s normal. Even as the primordial, it''s impossible topletely trust its offspring."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly. He spected that he was probably restricted by the primordial Demon Tree. As a descendant, the other party had left some means on him, which was quite simple.


    "Just a little bit more, and I can grow to the seventh rank. No rush for now."


    Lin Yuan examined himself. Thirty years ago, he had already reached the peak of the sixth stage.


    Here, the sixth stage and seventh stage referred not to the realm''s power level, but to the height of the Demon Tree''s growth.


    The reason Lin Yuan was unwilling to enter the seventh stage was because Demon Trees at this rank were almost on par with the primordial Demon Tree.


    Although the primordial Demon Tree was imed to be at the eighth rank, it was only a im. In essence, it was between the seventh and eighth ranks.


    If Lin Yuan advanced to the seventh stage, another Demon Tree of the same level would be born. Even with the Azure world separating them and Lin Yuan operating secret techniques to conceal himself, the primordial Demon Tree would still sense it.


    At that time, the primordial Demon Tree would undoubtedly activate its contingency n without hesitation.


    The appearance of a second seventh-stage Demon Tree could very likely rece the primordial Demon Tree and be the new extraterritorial god.


    Compared to that, the Azure world meant nothing.


    Of course, Lin Yuan had long sealed the primordial Demon Tree''s contingency n, equivalent to breaking free from its control.


    But if such a scene really urred, Lin Yuan estimated it would be difficult to gain any benefits from the primordial Demon Tree.


    So, before confronting the primordial Demon Tree, Lin Yuan wouldn''t advance to the seventh stage.


    Anyway, the growth ranks of the Demon Tree were not rted to strength.


    Even in the sixth stage, Lin Yuan''s strength would continue to improve.


    "How is the situation on your end? When will you advance to the fifth stage?"


    Several dayster, the primordial Demon Tree contacted Lin Yuan proactively, with a slightly anxious tone.


    In the past thirty years, the leader of the Azure Alliance had been acting like crazy, repeatedly targeting it.


    If it were before, the primordial Demon Tree would definitely not indulge it.


    But over the past few decades, in order to support Lin Yuan, it had already sacrificed arge part of its own origin, and its decline in strength was very obvious.


    The primordial Demon Tree vaguely felt that the leader of the Azure Alliance had already sensed its decline in strength and was now taking advantage of it.


    "Ancestor, I''ve been targeted by the King Elephant of the ck Mist Mountains. I don''t have time to cultivate at all now. That King Elephant is too powerful. I have no means of attack and can only passively defend and escape. It''s too difficult."


    Lin Yuan couldn''t help but say, ncing at the nearby kneeling giant elephant, continuing to plead, "Ancestor, if I could kill the King Elephant, I should be able to advance to the fifth stage in a short time."


    In theory, with the primordial Demon Tree''s supply of original power, Lin Yuan should have advanced to the fifth stage long ago.


    But Lin Yuan''s reasoning was wless; he was being hunted down and had no time to cultivate and grow.


    "Kill the King Elephant."


    The primordial Demon Tree''s thoughts fluctuated. Besides being able to decide the life and death of its offspring with a single thought, it could also restrict many of their abilities and talents.


    This was also a contingency n left by the primordial Demon Tree.


    If every offspring Demon Tree possessed all the abilities and talents of the primordial Demon Tree, once one of them grew to the seventh stage, it would be equivalent to a weakened version of the primordial Demon Tree. At that time, an awkward situation would arise.


    And as long as the talents of the offspring Demon Trees were restricted, even if one of them luckily grew to the seventh stage, they would have no substantialbat ability and would be unable to resist the primordial Demon Tree.


    "Never mind."


    "Opening up the talent abilities is not a big deal."


    "As long as I solve that King Elephant, let it advance to the fifth stage, and establish a spatial channel, when I descend into the Azure world, I will immediately ''reim'' it, and there will be no hidden dangers."


    The primordial Demon Tree seriously contemted.


    It didn''t know Lin Yuan''s current situation.


    By now, Lin Yuan had be the "Uncrowned King" of the ck Mist Mountains, and if he wished, he couldpletely cause a real disaster in the Azure world''s rear.


    To be honest, even if Lin Yuan now told the primordial Demon Tree about his situation, it might not believe it.


    Because it was too unimaginable.


    In just a hundred years, in the depths of the Azure world, isted and helpless, with hisbat talent locked, Lin Yuan was able to preserve his life, which was already extremely difficult.


    "Alright."


    "I will bestow upon you more talent abilities."


    The primordial Demon Tree gritted its teeth and began to release its suppression on Lin Yuan.


    Hum. In the deepest part of the ck Mist Mountains.


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness converged in front of that cluster of pitch-ck mes at the root area.


    Just at this moment.


    A slight fluctuation slowly emanated from the pitch-ck mes.


    Seeing this, Lin Yuan almost directly activated the seal to suppress the pitch-ck mes. However, he thought for a moment that he should still have some use for the primordial Demon Tree at the moment.


    The other party wouldn''t take action.


    "Let''s see what this fluctuation is about first."


    Lin Yuan was cautious, ready to activate the sealing method at any time. If this fluctuation had any negative impact on him, he would immediately stop the sealing.


    Hum. The mysterious fluctuation spread slowly.


    Upon contacting Lin Yuan''s main body, it seemed to release some kind of restraint.


    Lin Yuan suddenly felt extremely satisfied all over his body.


    "This..."


    Almost at the same time, numerous talent abilities from the primordial Demon Tree flooded into Lin Yuan''s mind.


    There was the Root of Void.


    The primordial Demon Tree could insert its roots into the void, absorbing nearly infinite void energy.


    This energy was also the most important ability for each extraterritorial god.


    Extraterritorial gods roamed the vast and endless void and might not find a single world for thousands or tens of thousands of years.


    During this time, how could extraterritorial gods survive? The void was filled with spatial turbulence and was unable to be absorbed.


    At this time, the use of the Root of Void came into y.


    It was to maintain the basic survival of the extraterritorial gods.


    In addition to the Root of Void.


    Lin Yuan also awakened arge number of attack abilities.


    Such as spatial whip strikes, demonic gazes, and so on.


    These talent-like abilities were the foundation of the primordial Demon Tree''s dominance outside the world.


    Even if encountering other extraterritorial gods, they could still contend with them.


    "So many, too many."


    Lin Yuan was extremely pleasantly surprised. He originally thought that the primordial Demon Tree would unlock these talent abilities one by one.


    But he didn''t expect the other party to be so generous and directly open them all?


    "From this perspective, it should be very difficult for the primordial Demon Tree to endure the situation outside the world."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself, but in a sh, he focused all his attention on these awakened abilities.


    Many of the primordial Demon Tree''s abilities were extremely rare and even bizarre, no less inferior to fleshly divine abilities like ''Blood Rebirth''.


    With his extraordinaryprehension, Lin Yuan couldpletelyprehend these abilities and integrate them into the system of martial evolution.


    "Ancestor."


    Lin Yuan was just about to express his gratitude to the primordial Demon Tree and express his loyalty.


    But he heard the primordial Demon Tree suddenly roar in anger.


    Immediately, the furious voice of the primordial Demon Tree came: "That lunatic is here again, damn it, does he really think that wielding the World Sword, I can''t kill him?"


    The next moment.


    The connection between Lin Yuan and the primordial Demon Tree was severed.


    Obviously, the primordial Demon Tree was forced to confront the leader of the Azure Alliance and didn''t have the energy to maintain contact with Lin Yuan.


    "Miserable."


    Lin Yuan remained silent for a while, sighed.


    The primordial Demon Tree was fighting for its life outside the world, and because it had given all its origin to Lin Yuan, it was also subject to a certain degree of suppression.


    And the culprit behind all this was Lin Yuan, who was leisurely staying in the rear of the Azure world, using the resources he obtained from the primordial Demon Tree to continuously cultivate and rapidly be stronger.


    The two situations were worlds apart.


    It made Lin Yuan feel a little embarrassed.

 Chapter 202

    Chapter 202


    Outside the world.


    The Lord of the Azure Alliance wielded a stone longsword, and invisible power emanated from the stone longsword, blocking many attacksing from all directions.


    "You forced my hand, you insignificant insect."


    In the distance, the Ancient Demon Tree roared in anger. If one were to observe carefully, they would notice a faint sword scar on the trunk of the Ancient Demon Tree. Clearly, in the recent sh with the Lord of the Azure Alliance, it had not gained any advantage and had even suffered some losses.


    "What can you do even if I force you?"


    The Lord of the Azure Alliance remained calm. The Ancient Demon Tree itself stood opposed to the Azure World, and reconciliation between the two was impossible.


    "Since that''s the case."


    Countless ck vines swayed around the Ancient Demon Tree, and faintly, the space for millions of miles in all directions began to change.


    "What''s this?"The Lord of the Azure Alliance''s expression changed slightly. The surging demonic power had be almost tangible.


    "World Sword!"


    The Lord of the Azure Alliance tightened his grip on the longsword in his hand. With his strength, he could fight against an extraterrestrial evil deity for so long, relying on the World Sword nurtured by the Azure World for countless years.


    Although the World Sword was called a "sword," its defensive capabilities were also extremely terrifying. At least since the invasion of the Ancient Demon Tree, the Lord of the Azure Alliance had not suffered any serious injuries under the protection of the World Sword.


    Of course.


    The power of the World Sword depended on the distance from the Azure World. The closer it was to the Azure World, the greater the power of the World Sword. Conversely, the farther away, the weaker it became.


    "This is my world."


    The demonic power that filled the space for millions of miles began to shrink rapidly, the space twisted, and in an instant, the Lord of the Azure Alliance was moved closer.


    Immediately, the demonic power continued to intertwine and collide, forming a phantom world.


    "What''s this?"


    The Lord of the Azure Alliance''s expression became solemn. Such a method had never been used by the Ancient Demon Tree before. It could be foreseen that it should be one of the Ancient Demon Tree''s hidden cards.


    Boom!


    The immense power of the demonic world began to crush down. The Lord of the Azure Alliance remained unchanged, holding the World Sword in his hand, using its power to defend himself.


    In the distance.


    The twelve vice lords of the Azure Alliance watched the battle between the Lord of the Azure Alliance and the Ancient Demon Tree from afar.


    "Is the Lord being too confident, letting us stand by and not intervene, leaving him to deal with the extraterrestrial evil deity alone?"


    One vice lord couldn''t help but frown.


    Indeed, the Lord of the Azure Alliance was the strongest. Under the protection of the World Sword, he could be said to be invincible, impervious to all methods.


    But that was an extraterrestrial evil deity, a terrifying giant who had almost breached the Azure World with his own power.


    Faced with such an existence, it was not excessive to be cautious no matter how careful one was. Giving up the advantage and fighting alone against the opponent, was it not a bit foolish?


    Although the twelve vice lordsbined could not cause any harm to the Ancient Demon Tree.


    But at least they could restrain the opponent, and when necessary, they could exert considerable usefulness.


    "The Lord naturally has his own considerations."


    "If I''m not mistaken, the Lord is testing that extraterrestrial evil deity, right?"


    Another vice lord pondered.


    If the Lord of the Azure Alliance joined forces with the twelve vice lords, the extraterrestrial evil deity would probably not confront them, let alone go all out.


    But now, with only the Lord alone, the extraterrestrial evil deity might think of severely injuring or even killing the Lord, and would exert all its strength.


    And in the midst of the intense battle, it would be easy to see through the opponent''s true strength.


    "Not good."


    "What method did that evil deity use to bring the Lord inside?"


    At this moment, the twelve vice lords saw the Ancient Demon Tree surrounded by a ck demonic power, and immediately after, the Lord of the Azure Alliance was enveloped inside.


    "The Lord has the protection of the World Sword, so there shouldn''t be any problems."


    "s, the Lord ispletely taking risks. What if something goes wrong? In front of that evil deity, my Azure World will have no resistance."


    The twelve vice lords exchanged words, their tones revealing their worries.


    Deepest part of the ck Mist Mountain Range.


    At this moment, Lin Yuan was immersed in deep enlightenment.


    The seven beast kings were guarding in all directions of the ck Mist Mountain Range, ensuring that Lin Yuan was not disturbed by any factors.


    [Your Unrivaled Insight is exceptional,prehending the ''Root of the Void,'' perfecting the seventh-rank chapter of the martial evolution system.]


    [Your Unrivaled Insight is exceptional,prehending the ''Root of the Void,'' perfecting the seventh-rank chapter of the martial evolution system.]


    [Your Unrivaled Insight is exceptional,prehending the ''Root of the Void,'' perfecting the seventh-rank chapter of the martial evolution system.]


    Arge number of inspirations about the seventh-rank chapter of the martial evolution system were absorbed by Lin Yuan.


    The various talents bestowed upon Lin Yuan by the Ancient Demon Tree were also integrated into the martial evolution system by Lin Yuan.


    For example, the ''Root of the Void,'' a method that could survive in the void for a long time, could greatly enhance the survival ability of theter stages of martial evolvers.


    Other evolvers, if identally entering the void and being far away from the world,cking a source of energy, would either die in the chaos of space or starve to death.


    But for seventh-rank martial evolvers, as long as they reached the Marquis level, they would have the ability simr to the ''Root of the Void'' and have the possibility to survive in the void.


    "The martial evolution system is unique, but it can amodate all methods, such as the fleshly divine abilities of the cultivators in the immortal world or the various talents of the Ancient Demon Tree."


    "As long as it is suitable, it can be integrated into the martial arts."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts surged, silently contemting in his heart.


    As long as the foundation of the martial evolution path remains unchanged, no matter how much it changes, it is still the martial evolution path and can still provide Lin Yuan with the foundation for his "ultimate leap."


    "The Root of the Void has beenpletely absorbed."


    Lin Yuan stopped his contemtion, feeling quite pleased.


    "There is also the Evil God''s Gaze, a soul attack method derived from the chaotic evil origin of the extraterrestrial realm itself."


    Lin Yuan thought of another ability of the Ancient Demon Tree.


    However, for Lin Yuan, this ability was not as important as imagined. In terms of soul attack methods, the main world''s human civilization had recorded countless.


    There were many more powerful than the Evil God''s Gaze.


    "The Demonic World."


    Lin Yuan''s expression became slightly solemn as he began toprehend this hidden ability of the Ancient Demon Tree.


    It was the ability to consume the origin of the Ancient Demon Tree, condensing immense demonic power into a phantom demonic world in a short period.


    This phantom demonic world was simr to the inner worlds of eighth-rank powerhouses.


    Due to the inherent nature of the Ancient Demon Tree, it couldn''t create an inner world like them. Its pure demonic power was too extreme. However, with its innate talent, it could aplish simr feats.


    "This kind of talent involves profound spatial mysteries."


    Various core spatial models floated in Lin Yuan''s mind. Spatial-type secret talents were inseparable from spatial models.


    The ability to condense the phantom demonic world definitely contained spatial rules.


    "Take it slow."


    "The Demonic World is a hidden talent of the Ancient Demon Tree. Even that extraterrestrial evil deity only knows how to use it but doesn''t understand its essence."


    "Even with my Unrivaled Insight, it will take a lot of time to fullyprehend this talent."


    After contemting for a while, Lin Yuan found that progress was somewhat slow, but he was not disappointed.


    How long has it been?


    "I wonder what evaluation I''ll receive for the seventh-rank chapter of the martial evolution system from the Goddess of Wisdom."


    Lin Yuan felt a bit hopeful.


    Now that Lin Yuan had perfected the seventh-rank chapter to the Marquis stage, he still had five hundred years in the current world before returning to the main world. There shouldn''t be any problem fully opening the seventh-rank chapter before then.


    The seventh-rank chapter of the martial evolution system contained much of Lin Yuan''s efforts, starting with the creation of an inner world.


    Although Lin Yuan didn''t explicitly mention the possibility of creating an inner world in the seventh-rank chapter of the martial evolution system, the immenseputational power of the Goddess of Wisdom and the other two goddesses should be able to deduce it.


    Certainly, there were many restrictions for an evolver like Lin Yuan to create an inner world at the seventh rank. But no matter how many restrictions there were, they couldn''t hide the preciousness of this possibility.


    If an evolver could create an inner world at the seventh rank, it would undoubtedly be revolutionary for their own development.


    Not to mention thebat power, even if the inner world created was only a few miles in size, it would almost be able to dominate other seventh-rank evolvers.


    Moreover, in addition to the inner world, Lin Yuan had integrated many abilities of the evil gods into the seventh-rank chapter, giving seventh-rank martial evolvers means to deal with various difficulties.


    From the innermost to the outermost area of the ck Mist Mountain Range.


    The Monkey King, the King of Giant Elephants, and the King of Green Birds were patrolling nearby.


    "The master is too kind."


    "He even told us not to harm those insignificant human ants."


    The Monkey King, the King of Giant Elephants, and the King of Green Birds, being hosts of the demonic seed, were absolutely loyal to Lin Yuan and had no inappropriate thoughts.


    "Indeed, with the master''s strength, it would be effortless to unify the Azure World or upy most of it, but now he''s staying in the ck Mist Mountain Range."


    The Monkey King sighed.


    The King of Giant Elephants and the King of Green Birds nodded in agreement.


    As hosts of the demonic seed, although they behaved exactly like the original beast kings, they had some innate aggression and killing instincts.


    This instinct came from the Ancient Demon Tree. These extraterrestrial evil deities enjoyed killing and invading the most.


    "Alright."


    "Don''t say such things in the future."


    "If the master hears about it, there will be consequences."


    The King of Giant Elephants thought for a moment and cautioned.


    Although they were currently at a distance from Lin Yuan, in the eyes of the several beast kings, the master was invincible. If the master wanted to know, nothing in the entire ck Mist Mountain Range could escape his notice.


    "Eighth rank."


    While contemting enlightenment, Lin Yuan was also considering the path to the eighth rank.


    For an evolver like Lin Yuan, who had opened an inner world very early on, the biggest challenge in advancing to the eighth rank was the Heart Demon Tribtion.


    The Heart Demon Tribtion had nothing to do with the physical body or the soul but targeted the mind and will.


    Therefore¡ª


    During the resistance against the Heart Demon Tribtion, external forces were basically useless. To sessfully ovee the Heart Demon Tribtion, one could only rely on oneself and one''s indomitable will.


    However.


    The concept of indomitable will was very abstract.


    The strength of one''s will had no necessary connection to one''s strength.


    Of course, the stronger the evolver, the stronger their will would undoubtedly be.


    But in the main world''s human civilization, there were also natives on some barbarics with terrifyingly strong wills.


    "ording to the teacher, the so-called Heart Demon is a manifestation of endless grievances and other negative energies in the world."


    "It is rted to the fundamental rules of the world, and only when an evolver reaches a certain level will it appear," Lin Yuan thought to himself, recalling bits and pieces of what the Lord of the Red Kun Star said about "Heart Demons."


    Normally, Heart Demons were illusory, even more so than the soul, so even soul-defense treasures couldn''t resist them.


    Once a seventh-rank pinnacle evolver attempted to advance to the eighth rank, the Heart Demon Tribtion would descend, with no possibility of turning back. Because Heart Demons were unstoppable and unavoidable. As long as you were within the world, there was no escape.


    "But I have the Gate of the Myriad Realms. Can I try to advance to the eighth rank and face the Heart Demon Tribtion while traveling between worlds?"


    "If I sense that something is wrong, and I find that I can''t resist the Heart Demon Tribtion, then I''ll flee and return to the main world."


    "But can Heart Demons also travel between the Myriad Realms? Can they follow me back to the main world?"


    Lin Yuan pondered a cunning method, using his own advantage to attempt to face the Heart Demon Tribtion in different worlds.


    Outside the world.


    The boundless demonic power formed by the Ancient Demon Tree suddenly tore open a crack in the demonic world.


    Whoosh!


    A figure rushed out of the crack, emitting bursts of maniacalughter.


    "Hahaha, extraterrestrial deity, I have the protection of the World Sword. It''s impossible for you to kill me."


    The Lord of the Azure Alliance controlled the World Sword and fled from the Ancient Demon Tree.


    "Damn it."


    The Ancient Demon Tree could only watch helplessly as the Lord of the Azure Alliance escaped.


    Already suffering from an original source loss, now weakened further by expending an enormous amount of its own essence to create the "Demonic World," and also subjected to numerous sword strikes from the Lord of the Azure Alliance within the world, the Ancient Demon Tree was now extremely weak and had no strength to pursue the Lord of the Azure Alliance.


    Or rather, even if the Ancient Demon Tree had the ability to pursue, it wouldn''t, because it simply couldn''t kill the Lord of the Azure Alliance.


    Exhale.


    The Lord of the Azure Alliance transformed into a stream of light and returned to the side of the twelve vice-lords.


    At the same time, the Ancient Demon Tree slowly receded and disappeared from everyone''s sight.


    "Lord, are you okay?"


    "Lord, are you hurt by that deity?"


    The twelve vice-lords immediately asked with concern.


    At this moment, the Lord of the Azure Alliance''s aura was somewhat weakened, but his eyes were brighter than ever before.


    This time, he had taken a risk and fought alone against the Ancient Demon Tree. During the fierce battle between the two, he finally grasped the Ancient Demon Tree''s secrets.


    "Weak."


    "That extraterrestrial deity is currently in a weakened state."


    The Lord of the Azure Alliance''s heart raced. What he felt was not the aftermath of some hidden card being yed but rather the deity''s existing weakness.


    "The opportunity for my Azure World ising."


    The Lord of the Azure Alliance looked towards the twelve vice-lords, his spirit stirred and his heart filled with determination.

 Chapter 203

    Chapter 203


    Several decades ago.


    The leader of the Azure Alliance had already faintly sensed the ''weakness'' of the Ancestral Demon Tree.


    However, at that time, they couldn''t be sure, and couldn''t confirm whether the so-called ''weakness'' of the Ancestral Demon Tree was deliberately revealed.


    It could have been a means to lure them into a trap.


    Holding the World Sword, the leader of the Azure Alliance almost stood in an invincible position.


    But the condition was that they couldn''t stray too far from the Azure World. Once they exceeded a certain range, the power of the World Sword would weaken.


    If the Ancestral Demon Tree had such intentions, the leader of the Azure Alliance naturally needed to be vignt.


    It was just now, during the fierce battle between themselves and the Ancestral Demon Tree in the Demon World, that he sensed it through the World Sword.


    The leader of the Azure Alliance truly felt the weakness of the Ancestral Demon Tree.Under the full force of the battle, coupled with the perception of the World Sword, the leader of the Azure Alliance was certain of their judgment.


    "Everyone, the opportunity for my Azure World hase."


    The leader of the Azure Alliance breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the twelve deputy leaders around them, and said seriously.


    "Opportunity?"


    "What opportunity?"


    "Do you know what you''re talking about, leader?"


    The twelve deputy leaders were initially somewhat worried, but seeing the leader''s expression and tone, they became curious.


    "The Ancestral Demon Tree."


    The leader of the Azure Alliance immediately expressed their judgment.


    "For over three hundred years, the extraterritorial evil gods, with their own power, forcibly opened a battlefield outside my Azure World, dragging us into an endless war."


    "Every moment, the strong in my Azure World are dying. It''s just that with the evil gods watching, we never had the opportunity to destroy that battlefield."


    The tone of the leader of the Azure Alliance was low, and the other twelve deputy leaders were the same.


    For over three hundred years of war, their friends, rtives, and descendants had all been involved in the battlefield, most of them dying at the hands of the evil god puppets.


    And, as long as that battlefield existed, the war could not be stopped.


    They did want to destroy the battlefield, thus depriving the extraterritorial evil gods of the premise for initiating the battlefield. However, the strength of the Ancestral Demon Tree was too powerful.


    Even if the leader of the Azure Alliance joined forces with the twelve deputy leaders, they could only barely contend with the Ancestral Demon Tree.


    But now.


    The Ancestral Demon Tree was inexplicably weakened, to the point where the leader of the Azure Alliance even had confidence in facing it alone.


    In this way, there was a possibility of destroying the battlefield and ending the war.


    As for the Ancestral Demon Tree? The leader of the Azure Alliance had no intention of killing it. That was unrealistic. They just nned to drive it away.


    "But now."


    "The opportunity hase, the opportunity to end the war once and for all."


    The leader of the Azure Alliance''s tone was excited as they looked at the twelve deputy leaders, speaking word by word.


    "End the war?"


    The hearts of the twelve deputy leaders were burning.


    They had dreamed of ending the war, but for three hundred years, they had never seen hope.


    Listening to the leader''s words today, they were all excited.


    "Next, I will use all the hidden power at my disposal tounch a counterattack." The leader of the Azure Alliance spoke, "If that evil god dares to intervene, leave it to me."


    "You just need to upy the entire battlefield and then destroy it."


    "Yes." The twelve deputy leaders didn''t hesitate.


    The evil god''s battlefield was located outside the world, presumably belonging to the evil god''s stronghold and rear area.


    As long as this evil god''s battlefield was destroyed, if the Ancestral Demon Tree wanted to invade the Azure World, it could only rely on its own strength to directly confront the entire world, which was basically impossible.


    And with the current strength of the Ancestral Demon Tree, under the vignce of the strong in the Azure World, it was impossible to open a second battlefield.


    In theory, as long as the evil god''s battlefield was destroyed, the Ancestral Demon Tree would lose the ability to descend into the Azure World.


    "Spread my decree, summon the ten great mountain beast kings, and prepare for the counterattack."


    The leader of the Azure Alliance spoke.


    The Ancestral Demon Tree invaded, and the power of the Azure World resisted.


    But in fact, before the war began, many strong individuals in the Azure Alliance, including the leader, had made the worst assumptions.


    That was the inability to resist the invasion of the Ancestral Demon Tree, and a frontal battlefield defeat.


    The situation of the war would then spread to within the world.


    Because of this, the leader of the Azure Alliance, even in the face of the most adverse war situation, did not summon the ten great mountain beast kings.


    The ten great mountain beast kings were thest trump card of the Azure World, used to prevent the war from copsing and the evil god puppets from entering the world.


    At that time, the leader of the Azure Alliance and the ten great mountain beast kings had already set up a covenant.


    In times of need, the ten great mountain beast kings must obey the leader of the Azure Alliance''s orders.


    Of course.


    The situation on the battlefield was ever-changing.


    The ten great mountain beast kings were originally kept by the leader of the Azure Alliance as thest force of resistance.


    But now, the leader of the Azure Alliance wanted to gather all the forces for a counterattack, so the relevant ns and preparations naturally needed to change.


    For example, these mountain beast kings were a formidable force and could be used as the vanguard of the counterattack.


    As long as the counterattack was sessful and the evil gods were repelled, everything would be worth it.


    "Yes."


    "Yes."


    "Yes."


    The twelve deputy leaders were excited, immediately turning around and returning to convey the leader''s orders.


    In addition to the beast kings, there were many hidden forces in the Azure World, and these hidden forces all needed the authorization and orders of the twelve deputy leaders.


    The leader of the Azure Alliance watched the twelve deputy leaders leave.


    Next, in order to fully mobilize all the forces of the Azure World, the deputy leaders, guardians, elders, and other high-level members of the Azure Alliance would travel back and forth within the Azure World.


    As for him, he needed to continue to guard the battlefield, preventing the final counterattack of the Ancestral Demon Tree.


    "It''s almost over."


    The leader of the Azure Alliance''s gaze was deep, pondering to himself.


    Outside the ck Mist Mountains.


    Two streams of light descended.


    "This is the ck Mist Mountains."


    "I remember, there are eight beast kings in the ck Mist Mountains, the strongest being the King of Giant Elephants, possessing ancient elephant bloodline."


    The two streams of light transformed into two figures, with the one on the left being a thin old man named ''Qu Zhuang'', a senior elder of the Azure Alliance.


    The Azure Alliance had a total of one hundred and fifty-six senior elders, each of them possessing sixth-rank strength, belonging to the high-level power of the alliance.


    On the right was a young man named ''Liao An'', also a senior elder of the Azure Alliance.


    Unlike the elder ''Qu Zhuang'', ''Liao An'' was not very old, just over three hundred years old, basically not yet born when the Azure World encountered the invasion of the Ancestral Demon Tree.


    So ''Liao An'' had never been to the ck Mist Mountains. Most of his time was spent on the war against the evil gods, fighting countless brutal and fierce evil god puppets.


    "Let''s go."


    "We''re going in."


    The thin old man ''Qu Zhuang'' introduced some information about the ck Mist Mountains to ''Liao An'', then they set off into the ck Mist Mountains.


    The purpose of their visit was naturally to convey the leader of the Azure Alliance''s decree,manding the eight beast kings of the ck Mist Mountains to go to the battlefield of the evil gods and prepare for the uing counterattack.


    "The leader is truly extraordinary. Facing the extraterritorial evil gods, he actually has the upper hand and overwhelming advantage, and now he''s evenunching a counterattack."


    Along the way, the thin old man ''Qu Zhuang'' kept sighing. When he first heard the leader''s order to gather all the forces of the Azure World and prepare for a counterattack, he was truly shocked.


    "Indeed."


    ''Liao An'' nodded.


    "I hope that after repelling the evil gods, I can have a home."


    ''Liao An'' couldn''t help but say.


    "That''s simple."


    "With your strength and status, after repelling the evil gods, you''ll be a hero of the world. I don''t know how many beautiful women will throw themselves at you."


    The thin old man ''Qu Zhuang''ughed heartily.


    As they walked, they talked.


    Suddenly.


    ''Liao An'' stopped.


    He carefully observed his surroundings.


    "What''s wrong?"


    The thin old man ''Qu Zhuang'' also stopped, looking at ''Liao An'' with a puzzled expression.


    "Nothing."


    "I just feel, is it too quiet here?"


    ''Liao An'' frowned slightly. "Although I haven''t been to the ck Mist Mountains, I''ve heard that this is the territory of ferocious beasts. It shouldn''t be so quiet."


    Being able to be a senior elder of the Azure Alliance at over three hundred years old.


    Apart from the increased opportunities due to the invasion of the Ancestral Demon Tree, ''Liao An'' also had a kind of intuition and instinct different from ordinary people.


    Often sensing danger before it arrives.


    "It does seem a bit quiet."


    The thin old man ''Qu Zhuang'' nodded slightly.


    "But it shouldn''t have much of an impact, right? It might be that the few beast kings deep in the mountains havemanded the beasts to leave this area?"


    The thin old man ''Qu Zhuang'' didn''t think much about it.


    Although the ck Mist Mountains were the territory of ferocious beasts, under the invasion of extraterritorial evil gods, humans and beasts had long reached a consensus.


    They belonged to the same alliance.


    "Hopefully."


    ''Liao An'' thought for a moment and felt that he might be overthinking it.


    This was the rear area of the Azure World, which was almost as safe as it could be. It was not quite appropriate for him to maintain the vignce he had on the battlefield of the evil gods here.


    "Let''s go."


    "We should be almost there."


    The thin old man ''Qu Zhuang'' elerated his flight speed.


    ''Liao An'' followed behind, heading towards the depths of the ck Mist Mountains.


    Boom!


    Just then.


    A nearly hundred-zhang-long behemoth stood in front of the two.


    This behemoth was none other than the Monkey King, ordered by Lin Yuan to patrol the ck Mist Mountains.


    "This is one of the eight kings in the ck Mist Mountains, named ''Monkey King''."


    Seeing the Monkey King, the thin old man ''Qu Zhuang'' was not surprised but rather delighted, turning to ''Liao An'' to introduce.


    "Monkey King?"


    ''Liao An'' looked him up and down, nodding slightly.


    Just from his momentum, the Monkey King surpassed ordinary cultivators who had just entered the sixth rank.


    With its huge physique, coupled with the innate abilities of a beast, even a peak sixth-rank cultivator would not dare to underestimate it.


    "Monkey King, we are here on the orders of the leader,manding you and the other beast kings to go to the battlefield of the evil gods."


    After ''Qu Zhuang'' introduced ''Liao An'', he didn''t beat around the bush and directly transmitted to the Monkey King.


    "Go to the battlefield of the evil gods?"


    The Monkey King naturally wouldn''t agree. At present, it only listened to Lin Yuan''s orders. As for the so-called leader of the Azure Alliance, it naturally didn''t care.


    "Not going."


    The Monkey King hummed.


    "Not going?"


    ''Qu Zhuang'' was stunned for a moment, seemed to realize something, and pped his head.


    "Almost forgot."


    "This is the leader''s decree. Now you should go, right?"


    The thin old man took out a token with the words ''Azure Alliance'' on it.


    The token was only the size of a palm, but it emitted an inexplicable fluctuation that couldn''t be duplicated or reced.


    "The leader''s decree?"


    The Monkey King carefully observed it for a moment.


    Although it was parasitized by the demonic tree seed, it possessed memories from before and knew exactly what the leader''s decree meant.


    It was the highest authority in the Azure World, and any life form, whether human or beast, had to obey itsmand.


    However, this didn''t include the Monkey King.


    The Monkey King only recognized Lin Yuan''s orders.


    "You wait here, I''ll go contact the other kings."


    The Monkey King closed its eyes and secretly contacted Lin Yuan.


    Deepest part of the ck Mist Mountains.


    Lin Yuan was still immersed in his understanding of the ''Way''.


    Since the Ancestral Demon Tree released many of its restrictions on him, various innate abilities of the Ancestral Demon Tree had awakened in Lin Yuan.


    Lin Yuan hadn''t rested much since then, always using his extraordinaryprehension to analyze them, extracting their essence and integrating it into his martial path evolution.


    "I didn''t expect that when the Ancestral Demon Tree lifted its restrictions, it would greatly enhance the abilities of the demonic tree seeds."


    Lin Yuan sighed slightly.


    The demonic tree seed was an ability that the subsidiary demon tree could naturally grasp.


    It didn''t need the permission of the Ancestral Demon Tree to grow to a certain stage and gain it.


    Originally, Lin Yuan thought that the Ancestral Demon Tree didn''t do anything special with the demonic tree seeds.


    But now it seemed that he had underestimated the Ancestral Demon Tree''s precautions against the subsidiary demon tree.


    The most obvious manifestation was that after the Ancestral Demon Tree lifted its suppression on Lin Yuan, he not only awakened many abilities of the former but also greatly enhanced the demonic tree seeds that he already had.


    This enhancement wasprehensive. With Lin Yuan''s extraordinaryprehension, he perfected the demonic tree seeds, greatly enhancing their parasitic ability.


    The parasitized beings were basically indistinguishable from their original selves, capable of deceiving others.


    Simrly, with the perfected demonic tree seeds, Lin Yuan could only condense up to one hundred seeds at most.


    And now, the number of perfected demonic tree seeds that Lin Yuan could condense had increased from one hundred to three hundred.


    "Three hundred perfected demonic tree seeds. I don''t need to be so picky anymore."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    So far, only seven beast kings had been parasitized by Lin Yuan.


    As for others? Lin Yuan wasn''t interested in the other beasts below the beast kings.


    "Hmm?"


    "Someone entered the ck Mist Mountains?"


    Lin Yuan seemed to sense something and looked towards a direction.


    Now, Lin Yuan''s roots had spread throughout the entire ck Mist Mountains.


    Anything that happened within this range couldn''t escape Lin Yuan''s perception.


    The two senior elders of the Azure Alliance were sensed by Lin Yuan the moment they entered the ck Mist Mountains.


    "Are those two six-rank elders of the Azure Alliance?"


    Lin Yuan carefully sensed for a moment.


    After a while.


    The Monkey King transmitted a message to Lin Yuan through the demonic tree seed.


    Saying that the two who entered the ck Mist Mountains were two senior elders of the Azure Alliance.


    "Two six-rank elders of the Azure Alliance."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    It''s such a coincidence! He was just thinking about finding new hosts, and now the senior elders of the Azure Alliance havee to him?

    The ck Mist Mountain Range.


    The thin old man ''Qu Zhuang'' and Liao An waited in ce.


    The Monkey King was not far away, deep in thought. ording to its intentions, it was contacting the other several Beast Kings.


    "Uncle Zhuang, I still feel that something''s not right."


    Liao An seemed to observe his surroundings, growing increasingly uneasy, as if there were invisible eyes secretly watching him.


    This feeling was strong, usually only appearing when facing life and death situations on the Battlefield of the Evil Gods.


    Liao An had fought in the Battlefield of the Evil Gods for two or three hundred years, but he had encountered life and death crises no more than ten times.


    Each time, Liao An relied on this special intuition to prepare in advance, thus saving his life and ultimately earning many merits, bing an elder of the Azure Alliance.


    However, now? Even in the great rear area of the Azure World, theoretically absolutely safe, he was still having this feeling?Liao An found it unbelievable and couldn''t help mentioning it to the thin old man ''Qu Zhuang''.


    Actually, Liao An had already felt this way when they first entered the ck Mist Mountain Range, but ''Qu Zhuang'' didn''t pay much attention to it.


    "What''s wrong?"


    ''Qu Zhuang'' asked quietly.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Liao An furrowed his brow, not knowing what was wrong.


    It was just his sixth sense, screaming in rm.


    "Isn''t it said that the Beast Kings are all in the deepest part of the ck Mist Mountain Range? Then why is this Monkey King appearing here now?"


    Liao An thought for a moment, nced at the Monkey King, and casually found an excuse to say.


    "This..."


    ''Qu Zhuang'' fell into silence.


    Why did the Monkey King appear here? The entire ck Mist Mountain Range was the territory of the Beast Kings. Wherever the Monkey King wanted to be, it would be there, and he couldn''t do anything about it.


    "Alright."


    "You two, follow me in."


    "They are also prepared to meet you."


    The Monkey King stood up, its massive body blocking the sunlight, casting ''Qu Zhuang'' and Liao An into shadow.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The Monkey King strode towards the deepest part of the ck Mist Mountain Range.


    ''Qu Zhuang'' and Liao An exchanged nces.


    "Don''t worry, this is the ck Mist Mountain Range. Even if those Beast Kings dared to make a move against us, aren''t they afraid of angering the Leader? ''Qu Zhuang''forted Liao An.


    "I hope so."


    Liao An calmed down and followed ''Qu Zhuang''.


    As time passed, the group approached the deepest part of the ck Mist Mountain Range.


    "This..."


    Liao An''s heart raced, his vision bing faint.


    Danger.


    Danger.


    Extreme danger.


    Liao An felt every part of his body trembling.


    "How could I have this feeling?"


    Liao An couldn''t believe it. Thest time he had felt this way was over a hundred years ago.


    Back then, Liao An was only at the fourth rank, fighting madly with the puppets of those Evil Gods on the Battlefield of the Evil Gods.


    That was the first time Liao An had experienced such a premonition, and not long after, the scene of the arrival of the true body of the foreign Evil God urred, ravaging the battlefield.


    "From outside the domain... foreign Evil Gods?"


    Liao An''s scalp tingled, unable to believe that he was experiencing the same feeling as when the Evil Gods arrived before.


    "No, I can''t."


    "We can''t go on."


    Although even Liao An himself didn''t believe that there would be a foreign Evil God arriving deep in the ck Mist Mountain Range, his body''s instincts made him dare not continue deeper.


    Even if he faced punishment from the Azure Alliance for this, or even lost his position as an elder.


    Swish.


    Liao An''s figure soared into the sky, fleeing frantically away from the ck Mist Mountain Range.


    "Ah?"


    The nearby ''Qu Zhuang'' was somewhat bewildered.


    He didn''t understand why Liao An suddenly acted like this.


    "Still running?"


    The Monkey King leading the way ahead nced at Liao An, who was fleeing frantically, and reached out its right hand to pat him.


    Boom!


    Terrifying force began to oppress the space. Although the Monkey King was weak in front of Lin Yuan, without any resistance, in front of outsiders, even a six-rank elder of the Azure Alliance was enough to be overbearing. With one p, Liao An was heavily injured, mmed to the ground.


    "You?"


    ''Qu Zhuang'' didn''t react for a while.


    First, Liao An fled for no reason, and then the Monkey King acted decisively, heavily injuring Liao An with one p.


    "Monkey King, how dare you?"


    Although he didn''t know why Liao An did this, as an elder of the Azure Alliance, ''Qu Zhuang'' naturally stood by Liao An''s side.


    Moreover, Liao An hadn''t done anything wrong. Why did the Monkey King act so ruthlessly?


    "He''s not dead, just injured a bit."


    The Monkey King looked down at ''Qu Zhuang'', buzzing as it spoke.


    "Just injured a bit?"


    "Humph, in that case, let''s go back and recuperate. When the injuries are healed, we''lle back to announce the Leader''s orders."


    ''Qu Zhuang'' fell silent for a moment, then got up and flew towards Liao An.


    The sudden attack by the Monkey King made him vaguely feel that something was wrong, coupled with what Liao An had just said, ''Qu Zhuang'' felt that the ck Mist Mountain Range seemed to be different from before.


    Although ''Qu Zhuang'' hadn''t dealt with the Monkey King before, as a Beast King, its intelligence was no different from theirs, and it was very clear about what it meant to make a move against an elder of the Azure Alliance. Even so, the other party still did it, which made ''Qu Zhuang'' somewhat frightened.


    Two possibilities.


    One, the Monkey King had gone mad.


    Secondly, the Monkey King simply didn''t regard the Azure Alliance, nor the Leader of the Azure Alliance, in its eyes.


    Only in this way.


    Would it act recklessly.


    "Go back?"


    "No need to go back."


    "You can recuperate here with me."


    The Monkey King lifted its head, looking towards the thin old man ''Qu Zhuang''.


    "What?"


    "Do you mean to say, Monkey King, that you intend to leave me here to recuperate?"


    ''Qu Zhuang'' sneered, although his strength was notparable to the Monkey King''s, but it was only slightly inferior.


    The Monkey King couldn''t possibly deal with him like it did with Liao An, heavily injuring him with a single p.


    Liao An was just a newly promoted sixth rank, while he, ''Qu Zhuang'', had been a sixth-rank powerhouse long before the invasion of the Primordial Demon Tree.


    "Give it a try."


    The Monkey King directly made a move, a terrifying aura spreading.


    "You indeed have a problem, and so does the ck Mist Mountain Range."


    ''Qu Zhuang'' said word by word, the Monkey King not only made a move against Liao An but also intended to leave himpletely in the ck Mist Mountain Range.


    What was it trying to do?


    "Break."


    ''Qu Zhuang''s'' aura suddenly skyrocketed, giving it his all with one blow, barely staggering the Monkey King.


    Then he soared into the sky, shooting towards the position of the ck Mist Mountain Range.


    "Not good."


    The Monkey King was about to step forward to chase.


    "You, a fool like you, still want to chase after me?"


    ''Qu Zhuang'' nced back, with his speed, he could soon enter the peripheral area of the ck Mist Mountain Range. By then, he would be able to contact other members of the Azure Alliance.


    "The ck Mist Mountain Range actually dares tomit such a great crime, I will definitely report it truthfully to the Leader and tten you all."


    ''Qu Zhuang'' looked grim, his decision already made.


    However.


    Just then.


    Buzz.


    A ck vine silently rose from the ground, gently whipping, knocking ''Qu Zhuang'' unconscious.


    "Thank you for your assistance, Master."


    The Monkey King strode forward, bowing slightly towards the depths of the ck Mist Mountain Range.


    If it weren''t for that ck vine just now, it might have allowed ''Qu Zhuang'' to escape.


    It''s unclear how long passed.


    ''Qu Zhuang'' and Liao An gradually regained consciousness.


    "I, I''m not dead?"


    ''Qu Zhuang'' felt his thoughts muddled.


    In thest moment of memory, all he saw was a ck vine whipping towards him.


    The feeling that vine gave him was far beyond what the Monkey King could match.


    Facing a Beast King, ''Qu Zhuang'' still had the ability to resist.


    But when he saw that ck vine just now, ''Qu Zhuang'' felt that it was pressing on him from all sides, with no possibility of dodging it.


    This feeling, ''Qu Zhuang'' had only experienced it when facing the Leader of the Azure Alliance, the strongest being in the Azure World, who wielded the World Sword.


    It felt as if a powerless and desperate ant were looking up at the sky and the earth.


    A peak seventh rank powerhouse.


    There was a peak seventh rank powerhouse making a move against them.


    ''Qu Zhuang'' had just had this thought in his mind when hepletely lost consciousness and fainted.


    "Where is this?"


    Next to him, Liao An also woke up.


    He swallowed hard, looking around.


    This was an open valley, surrounded by abundant spiritual energy. If they were still in the ck Mist Mountain Range, they could only be in the deepest part of it.


    "Uncle Zhuang, where are we now?"


    Liao An also noticed ''Qu Zhuang'' waking up beside him.


    At this moment, both of them looked nervous, realizing that their entire bodies, including their qi, blood, and souls, were sealed and unable to move at all, the fear in their hearts could be imagined.


    "Beast Kings."


    ''Qu Zhuang'' looked up and looked around.


    Surprisingly, in the distance on both sides, seven huge figures were standing upright.


    These seven huge figures included the Monkey King they had just met, as well as the Giant Elephant King recognized by ''Qu Zhuang'', as well as the Blue Bird King, and so on.


    The seven Beast Kings of the ck Mist Mountain Range had all gathered here.


    What surprised ''Qu Zhuang'' the most was that at this moment, these seven lofty Beast Kings were all standing there respectfully, with extremely humble attitudes, bowing towards the highest point.


    Who? Who could make the Beast Kings so respectful, even submissive? ''Qu Zhuang'' found it unbelievable. The Beast Kings were all arrogant creatures, with noble bloodlines, and they had always looked down on human cultivators.


    Throughout the entire Azure Alliance, the only ones who could make the Beast Kings jealous and bow their heads were none other than the Leader of the Azure Alliance and those few deputy leaders.


    But even if they bowed their heads in jealousy, it had nothing to do with submission.


    With a mixture of great fear and a hint of curiosity, ''Qu Zhuang'' followed the direction in which the seven Beast Kings were bowing.


    Rustle rustle.


    That was an ancient tree.


    Its branches swayed, and ck vines hung down.


    Amidst the faintness, an aura of evil and ancientness swept over.


    "What is that?"


    The thin old man, Qu Zhuang, felt somewhat bewildered. He faintly sensed that he had seen this ancient tree before, but couldn''t recall exactly when.


    Or perhaps he had remembered, but instinctively rejected it because of the true identity of this ancient tree, carrying a kind of unprecedented terror.


    "Uncle Zhuang, it''s an extraterritorial evil god, an extraterritorial evil god."


    Liao An''s voice trembled beside him, instantly breaking through Qu Zhuang''s psychological defenses.


    Yes.


    It''s an extraterritorial evil god.


    This ancient deity, resembling the extraterritorial evil gods on the battlefield outside the world, is extremely simr.


    In form, appearance, aura... it''s almost like a smaller version of the Primordial Demon Tree.


    But how is this possible?


    Qu Zhuang''s soul couldn''t help but tremble.


    If what they saw was an extraterritorial evil god, then what about the Primordial Demon Tree, who single-handedly dragged the entire Azure world into the quagmire of war outside the world? What does that count for? After all the hardships, fighting desperately on the battlefield of the evil gods, wanting to keep the extraterritorial evil gods out of the world and fight for the living environment of the creatures within the world.


    And now, the extraterritorial evil god had already entered the Azure world?


    Qu Zhuang suddenly felt somewhat despondent. At this moment, he vaguely realized that the Azure world was shrouded in despair.


    "Extraterritorial evil god."


    "No, you definitely are not an extraterritorial evil god."


    "At least not the incarnation of the extraterritorial evil god."


    Just as Qu Zhuang''s heart sank into despair, Liao An, the narrator, suddenly stood up, staring firmly at the ancient tree being worshiped by the seven beast kings.


    As Liao An''s voice fell, the seven beast kings in the distance nced at him.


    A terrifying pressure descended, but Liao An still stood firm, despite trembling.


    After a long time.


    A huge spiritual fluctuation.


    Emanating from the ancient tree.


    "How do you know?"


    Lin Yuan looked down at Liao An and Qu Zhuang with interest.


    Sinceing to this world, Lin Yuan had at most eavesdropped on the conversations between human cultivators.


    However, he had never had direct contact with human cultivators.


    One reason was the fear of exposing ws. Compared to beasts, humans are much smarter. Before bing invincible in the world, it is natural to avoid contact with these intelligent creatures.


    The second reason was that it was unnecessary. What Lin Yuan wanted to know could be obtained through soul searching without the need for directmunication.


    How do you know?


    Hearing Lin Yuan''s reply, Liao An''s scalp exploded again. At this moment, he was sure that the ancient tree in front of him had a specific consciousness.


    "If you were the incarnation of the extraterritorial evil god, there would be no need to hide in the ck Mist Mountains. You could have acted long ago, why bother fighting with our Azure Alliance outside?"


    Liao An took a deep breath.


    "And now, you''d better let us go."


    "Both of us are elders of the Azure Alliance, with high status and weight. This time we came to the ck Mist Mountains tomand the beast kings. If we don''t return for a long time, it will inevitably attract the investigation of other alliance powerhouses. In the end... Although I don''t know what your rtionship is with that extraterritorial evil god, as long as you join hands with our Azure Alliance to deal with that extraterritorial evil god, I will plead with the alliance leader to spare your life."


    Liao An said slowly.


    Everything he said now was based on his own spection.


    That is, the ancient tree in front of him is not the extraterritorial evil god from outside the world.


    Or it is notpletely aligned with that extraterritorial evil god.


    Liao An had a basis for this conclusion, that is, neither he nor Qu Zhuang had died instantly.


    If facing a real extraterritorial evil god, the two of them would not have had the chance to wake up at all, let alone negotiate terms here.


    After Liao An finished speaking, he quietly waited.


    Qu Zhuang beside him did the same.


    There was no other way. Regardless of whether Lin Yuan was the extraterritorial evil god or not, their lives were currently in his hands.


    Even if Liao An spoke eloquently, if Lin Yuan wanted to kill them, they had no way out.


    Even if the powerhouses of the Azure Alliance came afterwards to avenge them, but if they were dead, they were dead.


    Time passed slowly.


    Liao An and Qu Zhuang waited nervously for Lin Yuan''s judgment.

 Chapter 205

    Chapter 205


    Deep within the ck Mist Mountains, Qu Zhuang and Liao An felt tense.


    Their only hope now was that Lin Yuan would fear the Azure Alliance and refrain frompletely turning against them, thus sparing their lives.


    However, Lin Yuan merely nced at them before releasing the demonic tree seeds and initiating parasitism.


    Qu Zhuang and Liao An were elders of the Azure Alliance, sixth-rank experts, barely meeting Lin Yuan''s standards for "parasitism".


    Moreover, as high-level cultivators of the Azure Alliance, they possessed even greater "parasitism" value.


    Buzz!!!


    Two grayish seeds plummeted down.


    After perfecting the parasitic effect, the demonic tree seeds appeared even darker, with a vague cirction of inexplicable soul power.


    "Not good.""He intends to parasitize us."


    The emaciated elder, Qu Zhuang, immediately deduced Lin Yuan''s intentions upon seeing the situation.


    As elders of the Azure Alliance, having fought on the battlefield against the evil gods for many years, they were familiar with several methodsmonly used by those extradimensional evil gods.


    Among them was the ability to parasitize. Although human cultivators parasitized by it would be dull-eyed and stiff in movement, they would inherit most of their formerbat power and be ferocious and fearless.


    Most importantly, it had a psychological impact on cultivators from the Azure World.


    Formerrades, now parasitized, would turn into fierce attackers with grotesque appearances, tearing at them.


    "It''s useless."


    "Even if you parasitize me, you won''t be able to hide it for too long. If we disappear for too long, the Alliance''s strong will surely be alerted."


    Liao An struggled while roaring softly.


    At this moment, they were resisting the parasitic ability of the demonic tree seeds with difficulty.


    "Not able to hide it for too long?"


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly without borating further.


    Qu Zhuang, Liao An, and other elders of the Azure Alliance were only familiar with the parasitic ability of the ancestral demonic tree. However, Lin Yuan was not the ancestral demonic tree. After decades of consumption and constant improvement under the Unrivaled Insight, the parasitic power of the demonic tree seeds might be much stronger than the ancestral demonic tree.


    In this regard, one could just look at the seven demonic beast kings beside them.


    From beginning to end, Qu Zhuang and Liao An had not noticed that the demonic beast kings had already been parasitized, thinking that they had simply submitted to Lin Yuan.


    Crackling sounds.


    The demonic tree seeds quickly merged into the brows of Qu Zhuang and Liao An.


    After a brief struggle, the two sixth-rank elders immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to Lin Yuan. "Master."


    "Sessful?"


    Lin Yuan carefully sensed it.


    Confirming that the demonic tree seeds hadpletely merged into the depths of their minds.


    "Speak. Why have youe to the ck Mist Mountains, and how is the situation in the battlefield against the evil gods?"


    Lin Yuan asked casually.


    The Monkey King had already reported to him that these two Alliance elders hade under the orders of the Azure Alliance''s master to recruit the demonic beast kings here andunch a counterattack in the battlefield against the evil gods.


    However, Lin Yuan wanted to inquire about the specific details.


    "Master, the master of the Azure Alliance has determined that the extradimensional evil gods are in an extremely weakened state. Therefore, he intends tounch a counterattack andpletely destroy the battlefield against the evil gods."


    "For this reason, the master of the Azure Alliance has decided to mobilize many of the world''s resources, such as the demonic beast kings of the ten major mountain ranges, as well as certain war machines and so on."


    "These resources, many of which can only be activated by vice-masters, so this time, the master has sent the twelve vice-masters and the elders of the protectorates into the world of the Azure."


    "To quickly gather many resources andunch a counterattack."


    Liao An spoke respectfully, exining in a low voice.


    After being parasitized by the demonic tree seeds, their original essence had not died, but had been "reced," so many memories had not been affected.


    "I see."


    Lin Yuan nodded. He naturally understood the reason why the ancestral demonic tree had fallen into an extremely weakened state.


    "Are you saying that now the twelve vice-masters of the Azure Alliance, as well as the elders of the protectorates, are all in the world of the Azure?"


    Lin Yuan seemed to have thought of something, asking.


    "Yes, master."


    Liao An and Qu Zhuang looked at each other and nodded affirmatively.


    "Okay, then."


    Lin Yuan stroked his chin, looking pensive.


    "Since that''s the case, after you two leave, bring one or two more elders over."


    Lin Yuan said.


    Currently, the number of demonic tree seeds he had had soared to three hundred, so he could still parasitize more.


    Outside the ck Mist Mountains, Qu Zhuang and Liao An transformed into streaks of light and flew out.


    "Master wants us to bring other elders back. Which one should we bring?"


    Liao An thought to himself, ncing at Qu Zhuang.


    Although both of them were elders of the Azure Alliance, in terms of connections, Qu Zhuang was definitely much stronger than him.


    "I have a candidate in mind."


    "Youe with me."


    Qu Zhuang nodded and immediately flew towards another of the ten major mountain ranges.


    The Ten Thousand Beast Mountains.


    Another one of the ten major mountain ranges of the world of Azure.


    Outside the Ten Thousand Beast Mountains stood a middle-aged man.


    "These demonic beast kings are taking their time. They''ve received the master''s decree and still say they need to prepare."


    This middle-aged man, named Bian Bo, was also one of the elders of the Azure Alliance.


    This time, he hade to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountains to convey the master''s decree, ordering the demonic beast kings of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountains tounch a counterattack in the battlefield against the evil gods.


    Just as Bian Bo and the others were getting impatient.


    Two streaks of light suddenly appeared not far away.


    "It turns out to be Brothers Qu Zhuang and Liao An."


    Bian Bo swept his gaze over and immediately smiled and went forward to greet them.


    "Brother Bian."


    The thin elder, Qu Zhuang, smiled.


    "How is it? Are these demonic beast kings cooperating?"


    Qu Zhuang inquired.


    "Cooperating?"


    "With the master''s decree, would they dare not to cooperate?"


    Bian Bo sneered, "But these demonic beast kings are too slow. They say they need to prepare for a while."


    "Just them?"


    Qu Zhuang raised an eyebrow.


    "What do you mean, Brother Qu Zhuang?"


    Bian Bo sensed there was more to Qu Zhuang''s words and inquired.


    Qu Zhuang and Liao An exchanged a nce and whispered, "Brother Bian, as you know, the two of us are in charge of the ck Mist Mountains."


    "Yes."


    Bian Bo nodded.


    "We went to issue the decree to the demonic beast kings of the ck Mist Mountains. Some of those demonic beast kings were quite astute, voluntarily offering treasures and asking us to take care of them on the battlefield."


    Qu Zhuang said.


    "Such good fortune."


    Bian Bo''s face filled with envy. The demonic beast kings of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountainscked such foresight; they didn''t even offer benefits, let alone a few kind words.


    "Hahaha."


    Qu Zhuang chuckled proudly at this.


    "I wonder what treasures the demonic beast kings of the ck Mist Mountains offered?"


    Bian Bo asked, somewhat curious. Seeing Qu Zhuang''s expression, he was sure the treasures were exceptional.


    "Earth Milk."


    Qu Zhuang said in a low voice.


    "Earth Milk?" Bian Bo repeated, slightly puzzled.


    "Million-year Earth Milk."


    Qu Zhuang added.


    "Million-year Earth Milk?" Bian Bo''s eyes widened. That was a precious treasure, especially for sixth-rank cultivators like them; it could have a rejuvenating effect akin to bone washing and marrow cleansing.


    "Unfortunately."


    "Million-year Earth Milk cannot be preserved or carried. Liao An and I absorbed most of it for nearly half a day, but we couldn''t continue absorbing it, so we had toe out."


    Qu Zhuang shook his head.


    "Yes."


    "Million-year Earth Milk is a true natural treasure. Once it leaves its birthce, it dissipates rapidly."


    Bian Bo nodded. This wasmon knowledge in the cultivation world.


    But in the next moment, Bian Bo realized something.


    "Brother Qu Zhuang, are you saying there''s still some million-year Earth Milk left?"


    Bian Bo asked tentatively.


    "Not just some."


    Qu Zhuang shook his head. "By the way, Brother Bian, do you want to absorb some? It''s a rare opportunity."


    "Thank you so much, Brother Qu Zhuang."


    Bian Bo was overjoyed.


    "But, I need to wait here for the demonic beast kings of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountains."


    Bian Bo hesitated.


    "That''s no problem. Liao An, you take Brother Bian to the deepest part of the ck Mist Mountains, and I''ll wait here. How''s that?"


    Qu Zhuang patted his chest.


    "Alright, thank you so much, Brother Qu Zhuang."


    Bian Bo was moved. Brother Qu Zhuang was such a good person; he not only informed him of the million-year Earth Milk, but also waited here for the demonic beast kings.


    "Go ahead."


    "Our rtionship will be even closer in the future."


    Qu Zhuang waved his hand.


    "Of course."


    Bian Bo nodded affirmatively.


    At a verdantke, an elderly man with a goatee stood quietly, gazing at the water.


    "Four hundred years ago, when the extradimensional evil gods appeared outside the world, many forces in the Azure World were shaken. Among them, the Xuanwu Beast King, known as one of the Four Holy Beasts, was sleeping here." (Basically a huge turtle)


    The goateed elderly man''s thoughts fluctuated.


    He was a guardian of the Azure Alliance, a peak sixth-rank expert. This time, he had entered the Azure World specifically to awaken the Xuanwu Beast King.


    "En?"


    At this moment, the goateed elderly man nced into the distance.


    "Uncle San, it''s me, Uncle San."


    A figure flew over swiftly, and it was Bian Bo.


    "Little Bo."


    The goateed elderly man nodded slightly.


    As a high-ranking member of the Azure Alliance, the goateed elderly man naturally asionally lent a hand to his offspring and descendants.


    Bian Bo was the most promising among his offspring and descendants.


    "What''s the matter?"


    The goateed elderly man asked directly.


    He had the task of awakening the Xuanwu Beast King and couldn''t afford to waste too much time.


    "I have a good friend who went to the ck Mist Mountains to recruit the demonic beast kings there for the battlefield against the evil gods."


    Bian Bo spoke up.


    "I know about that."


    The goateed elderly man nodded.


    After returning from the battlefield against the evil gods, the vice-masters and elders of the protectorates all had their own tasks to perform.


    "Uncle San, guess what my friend found in the ck Mist Mountains."


    As Bian Bo spoke, he cautiously nced around.


    "What did they find?"


    The goateed elderly man asked with a hint of amusement.


    "Harmony Flower, a millennium Harmony Flower."


    Bian Bo lowered his voice and said solemnly.


    "Millennium Harmony Flower?"


    The goateed elderly man''s pupils contracted.


    For a peak sixth-rank expert to break through to the seventh rank, besides relying on their own enlightenment of the Great Dao, external objects like the Millennium Harmony Flower could also shorten or even bypass this process.


    As a peak sixth-rank powerhouse, the goateed elderly man had dreamed of breaking through to the seventh rank. However, his own talent was insufficient, and if nothing unexpected happened in the future, he estimated that he would be unable to touch the seventh rank.


    But now.


    He saw hope.


    Millennium Harmony Flower.


    As long as he could obtain that Millennium Harmony Flower, stepping into the seventh rank would be a certainty.


    By then, relying on his past contributions and his rtionships with several vice-masters, the goateed elderly man would be the twelfth vice-master of the Azure Alliance.


    "Is this true?"


    The goateed elderly man stared at Bian Bo, "And why didn''t you keep the Millennium Harmony Flower for yourself? Instead, you''re telling me?"


    Although the goateed elderly man had provided Bian Bo with a lot of help, when faced with such a great opportunity to break through to the seventh rank, not to mention that they were only uncle and nephew, even biological father and son might turn against each other.


    "Uncle San."


    "The eight demonic beast kings in the ck Mist Mountains have joined forces to seize the Harmony Flower, and I can''t get my hands on it at all."


    "So I came to tell Uncle San."


    Bian Bo said.


    "Why didn''t you report it to the Alliance?" the goateed elderly man asked.


    "Report it to the Alliance? How much benefit can they give me?"


    "It''s better to tell Uncle San. When Uncle San breaks through to the seventh rank and bes a vice-master, don''t forget about Little Bo."


    Bian Bo''s face showed a hint of fear in time.


    "I see."


    The goateed elderly man nodded slightly.


    This makes sense.


    It''s not that Bian Bo didn''t want to get the Harmony Flower.


    It''s just that he couldn''t get it at all. If he continued to dy, he would probably be swallowed by those demonic beast kings.


    "These demonic beast kings are a bunch of useless trash. We humans are resisting the invasion of the evil gods on the battlefield, while these beasts are enjoying themselves in the rear."


    "Treasures like the Harmony Flower naturally belong to us humans, yet they want to monopolize them."


    The goateed elderly man was furious. "Little Bo, take me over. I want to see which demonic beast kings dare to seize the Harmony Flower."


    The goateed elderly man immediately went with Bian Bo to the ck Mist Mountains.


    As for awakening the Xuanwu Beast King, it wasn''t urgent at the moment. It wouldn''t be toote to do so after obtaining the Harmony Flower.


    Several dayster.


    On a high mountain.


    A tall man stood with his hands behind his back.


    "This ce seals one of the most powerful foundations of our Azure World, the war machine that dominates everything."


    The tall man''s expression was somewhat nostalgic.


    As the vice-master of the Azure Alliance, second only to the master, only he had the "authority" to activate this foundation.


    "Vice-Master Gao."


    "Vice-Master Gao."


    "We have a major discovery to report to you."


    At this moment, a streak of light flew quickly.


    It was the goateed elderly man.


    "What major discovery?"


    Vice-Master Gao turned his head and nced at the goateed elderly man.


    In the Azure Alliance, the goateed elderly man belonged to his faction, so their rtionship was rtively close.


    "I have a nephew who found traces of the world''s weapons in the ck Mist Mountains."


    After using a spell to prevent eavesdropping, the goateed elderly man lowered his voice and said.


    Six monthster.


    Deep in the ck Mist Mountains.


    The twelve vice-masters of the Azure Alliance, thirty-three protectors, one hundred and fifty-six elders, the four sacred beast kings, and ny-three demonic beast kings all stood respectfully there.


    They were listening to Lin Yuan exin various secrets about the Azure World.


    Looking down at the sixteen seventh-rank powerhouses, eighty-eight peak sixth-rank experts, and one hundred and ny-four sixth-rank powerhouses, Lin Yuan couldn''t help but ponder, feeling a hint of emotion in his heart.


    How did a lowly underling sent by an extradimensional evil god end up controlling the entire Azure World?

 Chapter 206

    Chapter 206


    Lin Yuan looked expressionlessly at the numerous powerful figures below, all of whom could be considered the elite forces of the entire Azure World.


    Or one could say they were the group that wielded core authority within the Azure Alliance.


    Indeed, within the Azure Alliance, the alliance leader was the strongest in strength, but merely relying on the strongest wasn''t sufficient to control a force.


    It still required reliance on subordinates; power didn''t flow from the top down but rather from the bottom up.


    The Azure Alliance leader typically spent time either in seclusion cultivating or battling with the Ancestral Demon Tree.


    There was hardly any time to manage the Azure Alliance.


    In simple terms, these individuals were the actual controllers of the entire Azure Alliance, indeed, the Azure World.


    Lin Yuan controlled these individuals, iming to control the Azure World, without any exaggeration.


    As for the leader of the Azure Alliance?His most trusted subordinates, his cherished lovers, his valued heirs, and so on, had all be Lin Yuan''s people,pletely unaware at present.


    For Lin Yuan, the leader of the Azure Alliance was merely meat on a chopping board, to be manipted whenever he pleased.


    "Too smooth."


    Lin Yuan nced at the crowd, feeling somewhat emotional.


    Initially, he had merely intended to find a few strong individuals from the Azure Alliance to parasitize and then infiltrate the inner circle of the Azure Alliance.


    To gradually expand thereafter.


    Who would have thought that the expansion would be so rapid, unable to be halted, inadvertently bing the mastermind behind the scenes in the Azure World?


    Lin Yuan began to review in his mind.


    Firstly, why things had proceeded so smoothly.


    The decision by the Azure Alliance leader tounch a counterattack against the extradimensional evil gods and dispatch all twelve alliance deputy leaders and numerous elder protectors into the Azure World wasrgely due to the substantial background they possessed.


    If these strong individuals from the Azure Alliance had still been on the battlefield against the evil gods, Lin Yuan wouldn''t have been able to act.


    Because, to prevent desertion, the Azure Alliance leader had long ago decreed that practitioners on the battlefield against the evil gods were not allowed to return to the Azure World without his orders.


    This meant that Lin Yuan''s ''parasitism'' wouldn''t have proceeded smoothly.


    Because the perfected parasitic ability of the Ancestral Demon Tree required Lin Yuan''s presence and personal implementation.


    If those strong individuals didn''te over, Lin Yuan wouldn''t be able to go alone to the battlefield against the evil gods.


    However, under the orders of the Azure Alliance leader, all deputy leaders and elder protectors had returned, providing Lin Yuan with an excellent external environment.


    Secondly, emotions.


    Generally speaking, the stronger one was, the lonelier they became, with fewer people they could truly call friends.


    Without any emotional attachment, if someone imed there were extraordinary treasures somewhere, hardly any strong individual would believe it.


    You say there are treasures, so there are treasures?


    However, these deputy leaders, protectors, and elders of the Azure Alliance had deep emotional connections. They had fought side by side against the extradimensional evil gods on the battlefield for three to four hundred years.


    There might even have been bonds forged through life and death.


    Trust was high,bined with the good mood everyone had being in the Azure World, their vignce was lowered. Thus, they were each attracted one by one and gradually ''parasitized'' by Lin Yuan.


    Thirdly, it was due to Lin Yuan''s perfected ''parasitic'' ability.


    This reason could be said to be the most crucial. The Azure Alliance was very familiar with the parasitic ability of the Ancestral Demon Tree.


    They never imagined that the individuals parasitized would perfectly rece their originals, leading to no one suspecting anything.


    This was why the strong individuals of the Azure World were insufficiently prepared for unexpected situations andcked any countermeasures.


    Lastly, it was because Lin Yuan''s strength was sufficiently formidable.


    Even if they were brought in one by one, those twelve deputy leaders and the four Sacred Beast Kings were all at the seventh rank of power.


    Even though they were far inferior to Lin Yuan, they still had the opportunity to spread the news.


    However, under the spatial prison realized by Lin Yuan, which isted everything between and earth, none of those deputy leaders or Sacred Beast Kings, once sessfully parasitized, managed to send any messages out.


    The most important aspect was that the parasitized individuals did not die but lived on in another form, making it impossible to detect any anomalies through means such as Life mes.


    Because the individuals hadn''t died, many methods of predicting life and death, like Life mes, were naturally useless.


    "Master, this is all I know."


    A stunningly beautiful woman respectfully said. This woman was the concubine of the Azure Alliance leader.


    With her confession, Lin Yuan''s understanding of the Azure Alliance leader had reached an unprecedented level.


    He even knew the color of the other party''s underwear.


    "Master, should we bring the leader over now?"


    Another deputy leader respectfully inquired. This time, Lin Yuan''s smooth control of the Azure World owed much to this deputy leader.


    Most of the deputy leaders of the Azure Alliance were brought over by him.


    Because this deputy leader was the current Azure Alliance leader''s master, he held extremely high prestige within the Azure Alliance.


    With him intervening, where would the other deputy leaders dare to refuse?


    As for why they were able to bring this deputy leader over, it was entirely because Lin Yuan controlled the offspring of one of his subordinates who held the position of protector.


    This deputy leader was extremely doting on this subordinate''s offspring, leading to Lin Yuan''s smooth sess.


    "Not for now."


    Lin Yuan shook his head, not intending to immediately make a move against the leader of the Azure Alliance.


    His greatest advantage now was being in the shadows, with the Azure Alliance leaderpletely unaware that everything he had painstakingly built was now in Lin Yuan''s hands.


    Therefore.


    The timing of Lin Yuan''s action against the leader of the Azure Alliance was extremely important.


    If he were to bring the leader of the Azure Alliance over now, there was a chance it would arouse the other party''s suspicion.


    After all, the extradimensional evil gods haven''t been dealt with yet. As the strongest in the Azure Alliance and the only one capable of blocking the Ancestral Demon Tree, the Alliance Leader, it doesn''t make sense for him to return to the Azure World when he''s needed outside.


    Furthermore.


    Even if the Azure Alliance leader were brought over, there''s a high probability he would bring the World Sword with him.


    The World Sword, nurtured for countless millennia within the Azure World, could exchange blows with the Ancestral Demon Tree at its peak outside the world.


    As for within the world, even Lin Yuan now wouldn''t be willing to directly confront the World Sword.


    However, Lin Yuan had long nned how to deal with the World Sword.


    Essentially, the Azure Alliance leader wasn''t the owner of the World Sword.


    He was merely a temporary user. If it weren''t for the threat of extradimensional evil gods, the consciousness of the Azure World wouldn''t allow the World Sword to appear.


    The fundamental reason for the appearance of the World Sword was the extradimensional evil gods.


    As long as the extradimensional evil gods were dealt with, the World Sword would no longer remain in the hands of the Azure Alliance leader.


    So, Lin Yuan had no immediate intention of acting against the Azure Alliance leader.


    "Two tasks for you."


    Lin Yuan looked down at the numerous powerful figures below and slowly spoke.


    "Please speak, Master."


    "Master, rest assured, even if it''s two tasks, or twenty, or two hundred, we willplete them."


    "Indeed, Master, please speak."


    Nearly three hundred powerful figures eagerly awaited, bowing respectfully.


    As hosts for the seeds of the Demon Tree, they were naturally extremely obedient to Lin Yuan.


    "Spread this cultivation system gradually."


    Lin Yuan''s mind flickered as he transmitted a slightly modified martial evolution system, establishing a connection with the Demon Tree''s seeds and imnting it into everyone''s minds.


    This time, aside from developing the subsequent stages of the martial evolution system, spreading the martial evolution system was also a n Lin Yuan had long established.


    It''s just that, for the first hundred years since his arrival in this realm, Lin Yuan''s identity was special, and he dared not reveal himself, let alone spread the martial evolution pathway.


    But things were different now.


    With the help of these native powerful figures of the Azure World, spreading the martial evolution pathway would be easier than ever.


    "This cultivation system¡ª"


    "No problem, Master. Such a profound cultivation system is a bargain for those ants."


    "Master, rest assured, we will ensure the task ispleted."


    Nearly three hundred powerful figures pledged confidently, patting their chests.


    "Good."


    Lin Yuan had no doubts.


    Because this matter was indeed not difficult, especially for these powerful figures, who were the elite of the Azure World.


    What was spreading a cultivation system to them?


    And the martial evolution pathway had unlimited potential. Even without their promotion, as long as it wasn''t suppressed or targeted, it would slowly spread.


    "The other matter is to return to the battlefield against the evil gods, return to the side of the Azure Alliance leader, pretend as if nothing has happened, andunch a counterattack against the extradimensional evil gods."


    Lin Yuan spoke.


    Destroying the battlefield against the evil gods was one of Lin Yuan''s goals.


    Without the battlefield against the evil gods, he would need to "grow" and establish a spatial channel in order to let his "ancestor" descend upon the Azure World.


    In this way.


    Lin Yuan would undoubtedly have more bargaining chips, thereby nning for more benefits.


    For example, arge amount of the Ancestral Demon Tree''s original power. Lin Yuan obtained the original power not only to enhance his own strength but also to weaken the Ancestral Demon Tree.


    Time passed.


    Five years went by in the blink of an eye.


    Outside the Azure World.


    The battlefield against the evil gods.


    At this moment, the battlefield against the evil gods was already crumbling.


    Under the vigorous counterattack of the Azure World, it began to upyrge areas. Meanwhile, under the vignce of the Azure Alliance leader wielding the World Sword, the extradimensional evil god, the Ancestral Demon Tree, didn''t dare to make a move.


    "Damn it."


    In the distant illusion, the Ancestral Demon Tree''s aura was agitated as it watched the gradually disintegrating battlefield against the evil gods, feeling heartache.


    The battlefield against the evil gods was condensed from the extradimensional void and a special metal, costing the Ancestral Demon Tree an unknown amount of effort.


    Through the battlefield against the evil gods, the Ancestral Demon Tree could more easily invade the world''s interior.


    But now, its efforts were copsing.


    There was no way. Wanting to reim the battlefield against the evil gods required a great deal of time, and the Ancestral Demon Tree had to be on the battlefield itself.


    But this, the Azure Alliance leader would never give it the opportunity.


    "If it weren''t for the excessive consumption of the original source, would I fear you?"


    The Ancestral Demon Tree gnashed its teeth. At its peak, it couldn''t be stopped by just the Azure Alliance leader alone.


    Therefore.


    As long as the Azure Alliance leader dared tounch a counterattack, the Ancestral Demon Tree would descend upon the battlefield, dragging the Azure Alliance leader into battle nearby.


    In this way, just the aftermath of their fighting alone would be enough to sweep across the battlefield, making it impossible for anyone upying the battlefield to achieve their goals.


    But now.


    With the severe depletion of the original source and the Azure Alliance leader wielding the World Sword, it could chase after him, leaving no room to simultaneously manage the situation on the battlefield.


    Above the battlefield against the evil gods.


    The Azure Alliance leader sat cross-legged, with the World Sword floating in front of him, emitting mysterious fluctuations that enveloped all directions.


    "It seems that the evil god over there has no intention of making a move."


    The Azure Alliance leader muttered to himself.


    His purpose here was to wait for the Ancestral Demon Tree.


    After all,unching a counterattack and destroying the battlefield against the evil gods was tantamount to cutting off the roots for the Ancestral Demon Tree.


    Four hundred years ago, the reason why the Ancestral Demon Tree could easily open the battlefield against the evil gods was because the Azure World was unprepared.


    As long as the battlefield against the evil gods was destroyed and the Azure World was prepared, even if the Ancestral Demon Tree obtained a second battlefield against the evil gods, it wouldn''t be able to open it outside the world.


    So.


    In the eyes of the Azure Alliance leader,unching a counterattack and destroying the battlefield against the evil gods would make the extradimensional evil god struggle to some extent.


    After all, once the battlefield against the evil gods was destroyed, the extradimensional evil god would have no chance to descend upon the Azure World.


    "Duan Lang is invincible in strength. The extradimensional evil god over there knows that even if it makes a move, it''s impossible for it to be Duan Lang''s opponent, so it hasn''t done anything meaningless."


    A stunningly beautiful woman appeared beside him, speaking softly to the Azure Alliance leader.


    "Yan."


    The Azure Alliance leader looked at the stunning woman, a smile appearing on his face.


    This stunning woman named Yan had an ambiguous rtionship with him, and they confided in each other a lot.


    However, due to the pressure from the extradimensional evil god, the Azure Alliance leader had never confirmed his rtionship with Yan.


    Of course, even though they hadn''t confirmed their rtionship, the Azure Alliance leader hadpensated Yan in many ways, such as giving her the position of vice leader, and so on.


    "Yan, when wepletely destroy the battlefield against the evil gods, we can be together forever."


    The Azure Alliance leader couldn''t help but embrace Yan, whispering softly.


    He had already begun to fantasize about the wonderful things that would happen after repelling the extradimensional evil god.


    At that time, he would take the woman he loved to travel the mountains and rivers, feeling free and unrestrained.


    And, with the achievement of repelling the extradimensional evil god, he would be the greatest cultivator in the history of the Azure World, praised by countless cultivators in the future.


    "Yes, at that time, Yan can be with Duan Lang forever."


    The stunning woman, Yan, whispered softly, her tone tinged with a hint of shyness.


    "Hahaha."


    "That''s natural."


    The Azure Alliance leaderughed heartily.


    However, what he didn''t notice was that at this moment, Yan, who was leaning against him, had a hint of strangeness hidden deep in her eyes.


    In the deepest part of the ck Mist Mountains.


    Lin Yuan looked towards the direction of the battlefield against the evil gods from afar.


    "It seems that the war is about to end."


    With the world barrier separating them, Lin Yuan couldn''t perceive the specific situation on the battlefield against the evil gods.


    But by inferring from the life and death status of the hosts, he could deduce that the counterattack should be progressing smoothly.


    And as a descendant of the Ancestral Demon Tree, Lin Yuan could vaguely sense the general location of the Ancestral Demon Tree.


    Of course, the Ancestral Demon Tree could also sense Lin Yuan''s location.


    ording to Lin Yuan''s perception, the Ancestral Demon Tree had never approached the battlefield against the evil gods from beginning to end.


    Just then.


    In the root area, the cluster of burning ck mes suddenly began to fluctuate.


    Seeing this, Lin Yuan immediately immersed his mind into the ck mes.


    Before long.


    The anxious voice of the Ancestral Demon Tree came from within the burning ck mes.


    "At what stage have you grown to now?"


    "I can''t salvage the situation here, so I can only rely on you."

 Chapter 207

    Chapter 207


    The primordial demonic tree was extremely restless.


    Watching its own created evil god battlefield gradually copsing, the feeling was very irritating.


    Even for It, to remake an evil god battlefield required a huge price, consuming countless years and ages.


    But now.


    It''s gone.


    Losing the evil god battlefield, coupled with therge amount of origin bestowed upon Lin Yuan.


    At this moment, the primordial demonic tree felt like a gambler who had lost all their cards.


    If it couldn''t descend into the Azure World to make up for the loss, it would be aplete loss this time, and it didn''t even know if it could recover in the future.


    "Ancestor, what happened?"Lin Yuan pretended to know nothing and asked with concern.


    After all, in the eyes of the primordial demonic tree, he was still struggling to survive in the Azure World.


    Even though he had received arge amount of origin bestowed by the primordial demonic tree, what was the Azure World?


    As long as he dared to reveal any trace, it would attract countless strong attackers, and even draw the attention of the Azure Alliance leader wielding the World Sword.


    "I suffered a great loss of strength, and the Azure Alliance leader took advantage of it. By now, he has probably taken over the battlefield."


    The primordial demonic tree didn''t borate.


    Instead, it asked directly, "For all these years, I have given you so much origin, why is your growth still so slow?"


    Obviously.


    The primordial demonic tree was somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Yuan.


    In the past hundred years, the demonic origin it had invested in Lin Yuan could probably have cultivated several sixth-stage demonic trees.


    Even though there might be differences in the absorption of origin between different types of demonic trees, even those with the worst aptitude should have grown to the fifth stage by now.


    "Ancestor, I''m just too useless. I''ve been chased and injured several times by demon beasts, on the brink of death, only able to heal using the origin bestowed by the Ancestor."


    Lin Yuan had long prepared his answer and said quickly.


    This reason was impable. In the ck Mist Mountain Range, there were arge number of demon beasts, even demon beast kings.


    During Lin Yuan''s growth, he would inevitably be noticed, after all, it was difficult to conceal the evil aura of the demonic tree.


    Encountering a sixth-stage demon beast king, Lin Yuan couldn''t resist. Once he was held back, it would attract more demon beast kings, making the situation even worse.


    So he could only be hunted.


    "Healing with my origin."


    The primordial demonic tree''s heart was bleeding. If Lin Yuan absorbed the origin to enhance himself, then after being swallowed by It, those origins could stille back.


    But healing? This waspletely futile.


    "But, Ancestor, I have now grown to the peak of the fourth stage, just a little bit away from advancing to the fifth stage."


    Lin Yuan said again.


    "The peak of the fourth stage?"


    The mood of the primordial demonic tree improved slightly.


    This was also the only good news It had heard so far.


    "How long will it take to grow to the fifth stage?"


    The primordial demonic tree asked.


    As long as Lin Yuan advanced to the fifth stage, his life essence would be strong enough to open a stable spatial passage.


    "It should be possible within five years."


    Lin Yuan thought for a moment and replied.


    Five years, for extraterrestrial beings like demonic trees, was too short.


    "No, no."


    "Five years is too long."


    The primordial demonic tree shook its head.


    It wasn''t a matter of time, but with the current situation on the evil god battlefield, many strong beings would probably return to the Azure World in five years.


    After all, the war was over.


    By then, even if Lin Yuan opened a spatial passage, there would still be risks after It descended.


    "In that case, I''ll send you some more origin, forcibly breaking through, striving to advance to the fifth stage within a year."


    The primordial demonic tree scrutinized itself.


    At this moment, only 70% of its original origin remained.


    Even so, It still painfully directly took out 20% of the origin and sent it all to Lin Yuan.


    In the eyes of the primordial demonic tree, Lin Yuan was Its only hope. As long as Lin Yuan could grow to the fifth stage, everything It had invested would not be in vain, or at least most of it would be recovered.


    "Ancestor, Ancestor, this is too much."


    Lin Yuan noticed the origin sent by the primordial demonic tree this time, feeling greatly delighted in his heart, but his tone was somewhat concerned as he asked, "Will losing so much origin at once have any impact?"


    "Not much."


    The primordial demonic tree said with difficulty.


    In fact, the impact was significant. With only half of Its original origin, the primordial demonic tree probably wanted to flee far away at the sight of the Azure Alliance leader wielding the World Sword.


    But as long as It could descend into the Azure World, everything would be worth it.


    Even if the primordial demonic tree was weakened, as an extraterrestrial evil god, as long as It could enter the world, It could integrate into the world''s origin pool through some kind of secret talent.


    By then, all the origin of the entire Azure World would be Its feast.


    Of course, the use of secret talents would take time, but the primordial demonic tree believed that It would catch numerous Azure World strong beings off guard and would not have time to stop It.


    "Then, Ancestor, rest assured, I willplete the Ancestor''s task."


    Lin Yuan said solemnly.


    "As long as I establish the spatial passage, I will definitely reward you handsomely."


    The primordial demonic tree still didn''t forget to ''paint a pie''.


    In the depths of the ck Mist Mountain Range.


    Lin Yuan severed contact with the primordial demonic tree.


    "It should be very weak now."


    Lin Yuan judged silently. The origin power bestowed by the primordial demonic tree just now was almost equivalent to nearly half of what had been bestowed before.


    Losing so much origin at once, even Lin Yuan could imagine that the primordial demonic tree''s condition was not good.


    He could only hope for It to turn the tide.


    Outside the Azure World.


    In the vast evil god battlefield.


    The leader of the Azure Alliance looked down, in a situation where the primordial demonic tree did not intervene.


    The evil god battlefield quickly copsed, mostly reduced to ashes in the end.


    "We won."


    "We finally won."


    "We defeated the extraterrestrial evil gods."


    "We protected our homnd world."


    Countless Azure World experts were filled with tears, even the leader of the Azure Alliance, their thoughts surging.


    Four hundred years.


    A war thatsted exactly four hundred years.


    Now it finally came to an end.


    "Duan Lang, let''s go back."


    "Let''s go home, back to where we used to live."


    Next to him, Yan eximed joyfully.


    "Let''s go home."


    The leader of the Azure Alliance fell silent for a moment.


    "Wait a moment."


    "Although the evil god battlefield has been destroyed."


    "But that extraterrestrial evil god is still alive."


    "I must leave the World Sword here to prevent the resurgence of that evil god."


    The leader of the Azure Alliance felt somewhat reluctant.


    As the wielder of the World Sword, the leader of the Azure Alliance was too aware of the weapon''s power.


    Normally, such a weapon should not exist.


    Even if it appeared, it had a great impact on the world consciousness of the Azure World.


    But the threat of the extraterrestrial evil god to the Azure World was too great.


    So the leader of the Azure Alliance became the wielder of the World Sword.


    Without the World Sword, the leader of the Azure Alliance would have little resistance against that extraterrestrial evil god.


    But with the World Sword, they had fought back and forth with the primordial demonic tree.


    "Leave the World Sword here?"


    Yan was stunned, looking at the leader of the Azure Alliance.


    "Yes."


    "The World Sword is the embodiment of the world consciousness. Only by leaving it here can it block all means of that extraterrestrial evil god."


    The leader of the Azure Alliance nodded.


    "Yan, you go back to the world with the others first. After I have ced the World Sword, I will meet up with you."


    The leader of the Azure Alliance said.


    "Alright."


    Yan nodded.


    Then turned and left.


    After Yan disappeared.


    The leader of the Azure Alliance looked at the World Sword floating in front of him.


    "Old friend, we''re parting ways now."


    "But as long as you notice any changes, you must notify me in time."


    Although unable to carry the World Sword with him, after so many years together, the leader of the Azure Alliance had already partially mastered the World Sword.


    As long as willing, they could sense the World Sword at any time, even recall it.


    Buzz! The World Sword turned into a stream of light, imprinted outside the world.


    "I should go back too."


    The leader of the Azure Alliance sighed.


    Also flying towards the Azure World.


    At this moment, on the edge of the Azure World, twelve deputy leaders, four holy beast kings, thirty-three guardians, one hundred and fifty-six elders, and ny-three demon beast kings stood there.


    They were all full of anticipation and excitement, waiting for him.


    "Everyone."


    The leader of the Azure Alliance suddenly felt excited, "Let''s go home together."


    With his subordinates, the leader of the Azure Alliance rode the golden avenue and flew towards the depths of the world.


    Along the way, countless creatures of the Azure World bowed to them. As legendary figures who saved a world, the leader of the Azure Alliance enjoyed this feeling very much.


    Just as they passed through the ck Mist Mountain Range.


    A deputy leader suddenly frowned and said to the leader of the Azure Alliance, "Leader, I feel a strange aura below."


    "Oh?"


    The leader of the Azure Alliance immediately took it seriously.


    This deputy leader was a seventh-level expert specializing in reconnaissance. In the past four hundred years of war, if it weren''t for him locating the extraterrestrial evil god''s position several times, the casualties would have been much heavier.


    "The ck Mist Mountain Range."


    The leader of the Azure Alliance looked down.


    "Let''s go."


    "Let''s see what''s down there."


    The leader of the Azure Alliance sneered, without any fear.


    Even the ancestral demonic tree, the extraterrestrial evil god, had been repelled by him. A strange aura in the world, if it weren''t for passing by coincidentally, plus the discovery of this aura by a deputy leader he valued.


    The leader of the Azure Alliance probably wouldn''t even spare a second nce.


    "Alright."


    "Let''s listen to the leader."


    "What nonsense aura, actually dared to leak out when we passed by, damn it."


    Many strong individuals echoed.


    "Then let''s go down together."


    The leader of the Azure Alliance nodded, then led his followers towards the deepest part of the ck Mist Mountain Range.


    ording to the deputy leader''s suggestion, the location of the strange aura was precisely in the deepest part of the ck Mist Mountain Range.


    "Hmm?"


    As they approached the deepest part of the ck Mist Mountain Range, the leader of the Azure Alliance''s brows furrowed even tighter.


    Because he faintly felt that the aura at the deepest part of the ck Mist Mountain Range was somewhat strange, even simr to that of the extraterrestrial evil god.


    This was a big deal.


    The leader of the Azure Alliance''s expression became serious.


    The rxed expression disappeared.


    "Everyone, be careful."


    The leader of the Azure Alliance instructed his subordinates.


    Soon.


    The leader of the Azure Alliance, with his subordinates, arrived at the deepest part of the ck Mist Mountain Range.


    It was a valley, with an evil and ancient aura pervading the surroundings.


    In the center of the valley stood an ancient tree, with countless ck vines hanging down.


    "Extraterrestrial evil god?"


    The leader of the Azure Alliance was shocked.


    Having dealt with the primordial demonic tree for many years, he immediately recognized that the ancient tree in front of him was extremely simr to the primordial demonic tree.


    "No."


    "It''s not the extraterrestrial evil god."


    The leader of the Azure Alliance observed carefully.


    He knew the primordial demonic tree very well. It was precisely because of this that he confirmed that the ancient tree in front of him was not the ferocious extraterrestrial evil god.


    "It''s a subsidiary of the extraterrestrial evil god."


    "I didn''t expect that a mistake a hundred or two hundred years ago would allow you to survive until now?"


    The leader of the Azure Alliance immediately breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of killing intent appearing on his face.


    More than a hundred years ago, the primordial demonic tree paid a great price to pry open the world barrier of the Azure World and scatter hundreds of thousands of demonic seeds into the world.


    The leader of the Azure Alliance was aware of this matter, and even ordered it to be dealt with urgently, trying to eliminate all the demonic seeds.


    It''s just that they didn''t expect that one demonic seed would still survive and grow to this extent.


    In an instant, the leader of the Azure Alliance rified the cause and effect.


    "But I even repelled your ancestor, what are you?"


    The leader of the Azure Alliance''s heart turned cold as he stared at the distant swaying ancient tree.


    At this moment, in his eyes, Lin Yuan was already as good as dead. Leading so many strong individuals, plus his own existence as a peak seventh-rank, even if it was the true primordial demonic tree, they could still resist for a while.


    As for a subsidiary demonic tree?


    "Deputy Leader Fang, it''s up to you to take action and personally deal with this remnant of the evil god."


    The leader of the Azure Alliance said indifferently.


    Deputy Leader Fang was the one who had discovered the strange aura in the ck Mist Mountain Range just now, a seventh-rank expert. Naturally, he was far from being able to contend with the primordial demonic tree.


    But just a subsidiary entity of the demonic tree In the eyes of the leader of the Azure Alliance, there should be no problem at all.


    "Take action?"


    Deputy Leader Fang remained silent for a moment, then looked at Lin Yuan.


    Finally, under the incredulous gaze of the leader of the Azure Alliance, Deputy Leader Fang bowed slightly to Lin Yuan and said, "Master, what should we do now?"


    As soon as these words were spoken, the whole scene fell into a bizarre atmosphere.


    The leader of the Azure Alliance''s pupils contracted sharply.


    How could he have imagined that his most trusted subordinate would address a remnant of the evil god as master?


    "Fang Zhengqing, how dare you?"


    The leader of the Azure Alliance was furious.


    At this moment, his thoughts fluctuated rapidly, scenes of what had happened along the way shed through his mind.


    Fang Zhengqing discovered the abnormal aura in the deepest part of the ck Mist Mountain Range, then led them to this ce, and now Fang Zhengqing called that remnant of the evil god as master.


    In other words.


    Fang Zhengqing had led them here with premeditation.


    "This is bad."


    "Everyone, retreat."


    "There''s an ambush!!!"


    The leader of the Azure Alliance spected everything, his expression changed drastically, and he was about to make his other subordinates move away from this ce.


    Just then.


    Behind the leader of the Azure Alliance, Yan, his beloved, gently lifted her right hand and pressed it on the back of the leader of the Azure Alliance.


    Bang.


    The leader of the Azure Alliance''s expression changed drastically.


    His aura declined visibly to the naked eye.


    The leader of the Azure Alliance suddenly turned around to look at Yan, "Yan, you?"


    He had never dreamed that his beloved woman would deal such a fatal blow to him.


    "Yan, you''re not to be trusted either."


    "Quickly"


    The leader of the Azure Alliance forcibly suppressed his injuries, intending to fly away with the rest of his subordinates.


    But the next moment.


    Many of the subordinates protected by the leader of the Azure Alliance took a step forward in unison, surrounding the leader of the Azure Alliance, their auras converging and pressing down.


    "You too?"


    The leader of the Azure Alliance looked at his many subordinates, a brief moment of confusion and shock on his face.


    And an extreme sense of unfamiliarity.

 Chapter 208

    Chapter 208


    Deep within the ck Mist Mountains.


    The Azure Alliance Leader''s blood surged, almost sumbing to demonic influence on the spot.


    The trusted subordinates, respected seniors, close friends, and beloved confidants¡ªall of them betraying him at once?


    The Azure Alliance Leader wasn''t a fool. In the moment when everyone surrounded him, an incredibly unbelievable thought surged in his mind.


    That they had all betrayed him, siding with that evil god''s offspring.


    But how could this be possible?


    Leaving aside what price that evil god''s offspring paid to buy off the subordinates he had nurtured for so many years, the crucial question was when did this happen?


    How could he bepletely unaware until now? The Azure Alliance Leader''s heart turned cold as he looked at the many powerful figures surrounding him.


    Just moments ago, they had been respectful to him, but now they were all ice-cold, showing no hint of mercy."Do you...do you even realize what you''re doing?"


    The Azure Alliance Leader felt a pang of regret as he spoke softly.


    He wanted to ask, why would they choose to side with the evil god''s offspring?


    Following him, enjoying the adoration of countless beings in the Azure World, wasn''t that better than siding with the evil god? The Azure Alliance Leader particrly focused his gaze on Ah Yan.


    She was his beloved woman. After driving away the extranar evil god, the Azure Alliance Leader ruled over the Azure World, and Ah Yan could have stood beside him as well.


    The others might have a slight possibility of betrayal, but why would Ah Yan betray him? The Azure Alliance Leader looked at Ah Yan with hopeful eyes, but all he got in return was a cold stare.


    "Who are you, really?"


    The Azure Alliance Leader didn''t make a move to break free.


    Because, given the current situation, with all his subordinates betraying him and Lin Yuan being the mastermind behind it, he knew that breaking free by himself was unlikely.


    The Azure Alliance Leader understood that if they dared to confront him, they must have made thorough preparations.


    So...


    What the Azure Alliance Leader needed to do now, was to buy time.


    And then, recall the World Sword.


    Not long ago, during the destruction of the evil god battlefield, the Azure Alliance Leader had left the World Sword outside the world.


    To prevent any counterattacks from evil god.


    Actually, there was no problem with that.


    Even though the Azure Alliance Leader couldn''t figure it out no matter how hard he tried, for him, the biggest threat was not the evil god outside the world.


    But Lin Yuan within the world.


    However.


    No matter what difficulties he faced.


    The Azure Alliance Leader believed.


    As long as he had the World Sword, he could face any situation without fear.


    The World Sword was a world weapon nurtured by the Azure World for countless years.


    The closer it was to the Azure World, the stronger its power.


    If it were activated within the world, the Azure Alliance Leader was confident that even the evil god at its peak wouldn''t dare to confront him head-on.


    By then, he would reim everything that belonged to him.


    However.


    As the Azure Alliance Leader was buying time, did Lin Yuan not know?


    He had finally waited for the opportunity for the Azure Alliance Leader to separate from the World Sword.


    Naturally, he wouldn''t hold back.


    The moment the Azure Alliance Leader looked at him.


    Lin Yuan directly released the "Evil God''s Gaze."


    This technique was derived from the evil god''s abilities and was simrly powerful in the hands of the offspring evil god. What''s more, it was being used by Lin Yuan.


    Terrifying soul fluctuations swept through and spread.


    The Azure Alliance Leader felt his thoughts shake, and even his consciousness began to slowly plummet.


    "Not good."


    The Azure Alliance Leader''s expression changed drastically. He struggled to gather his thoughts, bit his tongue, and used a forbidden technique to regain consciousness.


    Then he flew into the sky.


    Through the brief respite.


    The Azure Alliance Leader realized that staying behind to dy time was even more dangerous.


    "This move''s power is almost on par with that evil god''s. What kind of monster is this offspring evil god?"


    The Azure Alliance Leader''s scalp tingled.


    At this moment, he began to doubt himself.


    With such a powerful offspring evil god, did he really defeat the evil god?


    It made no sense at all.


    Generally speaking, the mother''s strength far surpassed that of the offspring.


    Yet the strength of the offspring evil god he was facing now indicated that its mother should have the means to easily destroy the entire Azure World.


    But reality waspletely different.


    When he destroyed the evil god battlefield, the evil god didn''t dare to show itself.


    With such a powerful offspring evil god, why was it so cowardly?


    The Azure Alliance Leader''s thoughts surged, rushing towards the outskirts of the ck Mist Mountains.


    He had already begun to recall the World Sword, and as long as he persisted for a while longer, just... The Azure Alliance Leader hadn''t finished his thoughts.


    When he saw the heavens and earth inverted, and the power of space swirling around, forming a cage.


    "Indeed."


    "Relying solely on the abilities of the demonic tree, it''s still difficult to keep you here."


    Lin Yuan sighed lightly, vines swaying as he manipted the power of space, teleporting the Azure Alliance Leader back in front of him.


    Even without the World Sword, the Azure Alliance Leader was still a peak seventh-rank power.


    Even if the evil god wanted to kill the Azure Alliance Leader, it would take some effort, and there was still a chance for him to escape.


    "What kind of technique is this?"


    Compared to Lin Yuan''s sigh, the Azure Alliance Leader waspletely stunned.


    Just now, he had clearly escaped a certain distance, so why was he back now?


    "The power of space, to use it like this?"


    The Azure Alliance Leader''s mind trembled, and at his level, he had long begun toprehend the rules of space.


    However, the Azure World''s foundation was limited, and the Azure Alliance Leader''sprehension of spatial rules had always been like a blind man feeling an elephant.


    For the Azure Alliance Leader, hisprehension of spatial rules had no foundation or core spatial model to refer to.


    Everything had to rely on himself.


    Lin Yuan, from the incredibly prosperous Human Civilization Alliance of the main world, dealt a heavy blow to the Azure Alliance Leader.


    "Hmm?"


    Ignoring the Azure Alliance Leader''s astonishment, Lin Yuan''s gaze shifted to a certain direction.


    That was the direction where the evil god battlefield used to be, but now, a vast aura was rapidly approaching.


    "Is it the World Sword?"


    Lin Yuan had anticipated this.


    Having wielded the World Sword for four hundred years, the Azure Alliance Leader must have a unique sensitivity to it.


    In a life-or-death situation, the World Sword automatically protected its master, which was perfectly normal and within Lin Yuan''s expectations.


    "However...it''s toote."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    If the Azure Alliance Leader had recalled the World Sword before entering the ck Mist Mountains, he might still have had a chance against Lin Yuan.


    But now?


    Even if it was the World Sword flying from outside the Azure World to the ck Mist Mountains, it would take at least half a stick''s worth of time.


    In such a long time, Lin Yuan would have long crushed the Azure Alliance Leader.


    Of course.


    Lin Yuan also considered that the World Sword could traverse space, simr to teleportation, to approach the ck Mist Mountains.


    But Lin Yuan had also prepared countermeasures.


    The World Sword was indeed powerful, but it required the owner''s activation.


    Without an active World Sword, its power would greatly diminish. Otherwise, there would be no need for the Azure Alliance Leader to wield it.


    Why not just confront the evil god directly?


    And after the World Sword''s power diminished, Lin Yuan was confident he could hold it back.


    "Begin parasitizing."


    Lin Yuan''s mind flickered, and a gray seed began to descend, entering the spatial cage.


    And within a few breaths, the Azure Alliance Leader, who had fallen into the spatial cage under Lin Yuan''s attack, was already critically injured and on the brink of death.


    If it weren''t for Lin Yuan''s intention to parasitize, the Azure Alliance Leader would have died long ago.


    "Ah, this is parasitism? No, the parasitic methods of the evil god shouldn''t be like this."


    The Azure Alliance Leader moaned in pain.


    At this moment, many images shed through his mind, of his subordinates, seniors, and beloved ones, all betraying him for no apparent reason.


    "I see."


    A look of realization finally appeared on the Azure Alliance Leader''s face.


    So they didn''t betray him after all, but were controlled by this offspring evil god?


    The Azure Alliance Leader''s gaze revealed a sense of relief, and in the next moment.


    The Azure Alliance Leader closed his eyes, stood up, and bowed to Lin Yuan, saying, "Greetings, Master."


    The parasitism was sessful.


    For four hundred years, the Azure Alliance Leader had been battling with the progenitor evil god, with eighth-rank strength thanks to the World Sword.


    But most of it relied on the World Sword, while the Azure Alliance Leader himself remained at seventh rank.


    Therefore.


    Facing Lin Yuan, who had also reached the peak of the seventh rank and whose strength was not much weaker than that of the evil god, the Azure Alliance Leader naturally had no ability to resist.


    "Master."


    The Azure Alliance Leader said respectfully.


    "Rise."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    To deal with this Azure Alliance Leader, Lin Yuan had made many preparations and had hidden cards.


    For example, he had prevented the Azure Alliance Leader from breaking through the spatial cage.


    Even if the Azure Alliance Leader did manage to do so, there were still more means waiting for him.


    "Can you continue to control the World Sword?"


    Lin Yuan asked directly.


    Communicating with his host directly and asking was easier.


    "Master."


    "I should be able to."


    The Azure Alliance Leader closed his eyes to sense it for a moment before nodding.


    "Very good."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    The reason why he had gone to such lengths to control the Azure Alliance Leader was not only because the Azure Alliance Leader himself possessed the strength of the strongest in the Azure World.


    More importantly, it was the World Sword.


    The World Sword was nurtured by the Azure World.


    In theory, it was impossible to leave the world. It was closely rted to the origin of the Azure World.


    If Lin Yuan could obtain the World Sword andplement it with his unparalleled insight, he might be able toprehend the great secret of the world''s operation and then integrate it into his own world.


    For eighth-rank evolvers, or even ninth-rank evolvers, cultivation mainly focused on their own world.


    Continuously perfecting their own world, making it grow, and eventually bing a true great world.


    "Go, bring back the World Sword."


    Lin Yuanmanded the Azure Alliance Leader.


    "Yes."


    The Azure Alliance Leader left.


    Half an hourter.


    The Azure Alliance Leader returned.


    But this time, he had a stone longsword in his hand.


    This longsword was entirely made of gray-white stone, but faintly emanated waves ofmanding world power.


    "Is this the World Sword?"


    With a slight movement of his mind, the World Sword in the hands of the Azure Alliance Leader flew into Lin Yuan''s presence.


    Buzz!!


    Perhaps sensing something, the World Sword began to struggle violently.


    "If it were outside, you might have a chance to break free."


    "But here..."


    Lin Yuan sneered.


    Having managed the ck Mist Mountains for one or two hundred years, every inch of space was under his control, and the World Sword had no possibility of resistance.


    Soon.


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness briefly touched the World Sword.


    "Hmm?"


    Through the World Sword, Lin Yuan vaguely sensed the vast origin of the Azure World and the already dormant world consciousness.


    "As expected."


    Lin Yuan felt no surprise. It was only natural for the world consciousness to fall asleep.


    Did using the World Sword really not require any cost? If that were true, why didn''t the Azure World allow the World Sword to emerge?


    If it weren''t for the invasion of the evil god this time, causing the Azure World to feel the threat of destruction, the World Sword probably wouldn''t have emerged either.


    "The World Sword is the most essential manifestation of the Azure World''s core. Every time it is used, it shakes the consciousness of the Azure World."


    "With time, and with frequent use, the world consciousness of the Azure World will fall asleep."


    "Of course, even if the world consciousness falls asleep, the Azure World still has an almost instinctual defense against the outside world, but for matters within the world..."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    If the world consciousness of the Azure World were awake, Lin Yuan''s growth would definitely not have been so smooth.


    It was also thanks to the evil god. If it weren''t for this evil god, the Azure Alliance Leader would not have frequently activated the World Sword, ultimately reaching a certain limit and causing the world consciousness to fall asleeppletely.


    Lin Yuan''s gaze shifted to the Azure Alliance Leader, Vice Leader, Guardians, Elders, Four Beast Kings, and Monster Kings below.


    Before controlling the Azure Alliance Leader, Lin Yuan was merely the behind-the-scenes controller of the Azure World.


    But now, Lin Yuan was the true ''uncrowned king'' of the Azure World.


    Time passed.


    In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.


    During this time, Lin Yuan had instructed the Azure Alliance Leader and others to return to the central Azure Mountain of the Azure World ording to the normal n and receive the worship of all beings.


    In addition, under Lin Yuan''s covert push, the martial arts cultivation system officially became the most authoritative cultivation system in the Azure World, alongside the original cultivation system.


    With Lin Yuan''s influence, it could be foreseen that in hundreds of years, the martial arts cultivation system of the Azure World would bepletely reced by martial arts.


    At the deepest part of the ck Mist Mountains.


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness gathered in the root area.


    Looking at the cluster of burning ck mes.


    "It''s about time."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    It was also time to deal with the evil god.


    Lin Yuan was worried that waiting any longer would make the evil god forcibly consider ''cutting meat'' and leaving.


    Thinking of this, Lin Yuan''s thoughts converged, and he began to contact the evil god through the burning ck mes.


    The burning ck mes were the hub between the evil god and Lin Yuan. The evil god could contact Lin Yuan through these mes.


    And Lin Yuan could also contact it in reverse.


    Of course, originally, a subordinate evil god like Lin Yuan did not have the authority to contact the evil god actively.


    But after thest talent was released, the evil god simply allowed Lin Yuan to contact it at any time.


    There was no other way.


    Now, Lin Yuan was its only hope for redemption, the hope that had descended upon the Azure World, making up for all previous losses.

 Chapter 209

    Chapter 209


    In fact, Lin Yuan had overestimated the ancestral demon tree.


    The other party didn''t have the courage to ''cut meat'' and leave. This extradimensional evil god hadpletely turned red-eyed, pinning all hopes on Lin Yuan.


    So.


    When Lin Yuan took the initiative to contact the ancestral demon tree, iming to have grown to the fifth stage.


    The joy in the heart of the ancestral demon tree can be imagined.


    "An opportunity."


    "The opportunity we''ve been waiting for has finallye."


    Outside the Azure World, in a dark void somewhere, the ancestral demon tree stared tightly at the distant vast world, as if looking at a delicious cake.


    After the Azure Alliance leader destroyed the battlefield of the gods, in order to prevent the ancestral demon tree from counterattacking, he deliberately left the World Sword.In fact, such behavior waspletely unnecessary. The current ancestral demon tree only had fifty percent of its origin source left, plus the loss of invading the battlefield, it waspletely powerless to pose any threat to the Azure World.


    "I didn''t expect that the seeds nted back then would be the key to my descent into the Azure World," the ancestral demon tree thought joyfully.


    From beginning to end, it never crossed its mind that Lin Yuan would deceive it. As a derivative born from its mother body, thetter had an almost instinctive loyalty to the former.


    "The Azure Alliance leader and those people, didn''t notice you when they returned, did they?" the ancestral demon tree inquired.


    "Ancestor, I hid in the ck Mist Mountains, which are not conspicuous among the Ten Great Mountains, and didn''t attract any attention," Lin Yuan said calmly.


    "That''s good."


    The ancestral demon tree nodded.


    It also thought so. If Lin Yuan had really been noticed by strong figures like the Azure Alliance leader, how could he still be in contact with itself?


    "Now you start preparing."


    "After three days, the space channel will officially open."


    The ancestral demon tree gave a few instructions and then cut off the contact.


    The reason for waiting three days to open the space channel was entirely the ancestral demon tree''s own consideration.


    Its current size was toorge. Although it was inconspicuouspared to the entire Azure World, once it descended into the Azure World, such arge size would inevitably attract attention.


    Moreover, the huge body posed a pressure on the space channel.


    So during these three days, the ancestral demon tree nned to condense its body, shrinking it to within a hundred meters in size.


    Only in this way could it hide itself as much as possible after passing through the space channel, giving itself enough time to merge into the world''s source.


    "As long as I can devour all the source of the Azure World, everything will be worth it."


    The ancestral demon tree thought to itself,pressing its body size was exceptionally painful for it.


    And it also had a certain impact on its ownbat power.


    In the extradimensional void, were those evil gods'' sizes of hundreds of thousands or even millions of miles just for show?


    Although the huge size reduced agility, in other aspects, it had many advantages.


    The most obvious one was survivability.


    In the extradimensional void, the survival ability was crucial. Even extradimensional evil gods spent most of their lives drifting alone in the void.


    Encountering other extradimensional evil gods, or a world, was extremely rare.


    This was also why the ancestral demon tree was so eager to descend into the Azure World.


    Such opportunities were extremely rare.


    Enough to make extradimensional evil gods advance further.


    ck Mist Mountains.


    "Three dayster?"


    Lin Yuan pondered in his heart. It was somewhat unexpected that the ancestral demon tree would open the space channel in three days, but it was still within Lin Yuan''s n.


    After thinking about this, Lin Yuan looked down at the Azure Alliance leader and the others below.


    "Have you brought all your reserves?"


    Lin Yuan asked somewhat worriedly.


    The Azure World still had many reserves.


    These reserves were meant to prevent extreme situations, such as the ancestral demon tree invading the Azure World.


    "Master, the diagram of the Yin-Yang Reversal Heaven and Earth Extinction Nine Heavens Great Array has been set up long ago, with sixteen Seventh Stage powerhouses, eighty-eight peak Sixth Stage powerhouses, and one hundred and ny-four Sixth Stage powerhouses guarding the array eyes, so there''s no problem."


    "In addition, we''ve also brought thirteen Thunder Creation Beads."


    "These thirteen Thunder Creation Beads are all the umtion of my Azure World for millions of years."


    "Absolutely no problem."


    The Azure Alliance leader patted his chest and said.


    "That''s good."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly, feeling satisfied.


    The ''Yin-Yang Reversal Heaven and Earth Extinction Nine Heavens Great Array'' mentioned by the Azure Alliance leader was the most powerful array in the Azure World since ancient times. Without this array, they would have to rely on the Azure World.


    If it weren''t for leaving the world''s range, the power of the array would have greatly diminished, and it would probably have been brought to the battlefield of the gods long ago.


    Such an array could only exert its maximum power inside the world.


    Hundreds of Sixth Stage starting strongmen operating it would elevate the power of this array to an unimaginable level.


    Even if the ancestral demon tree was at its peak, if it identally fell within the range covered by this array, it would suffer severe damage.


    As for the Thunder Creation Beads?


    Lin Yuan had a profound understanding of their power. A single Thunder Creation Bead, when activated, would unleash terrifying power equivalent to the Eighth Stage.


    The nine-day thunder of the Azure World, nurtured for millions of years, had only produced fifteen Thunder Creation Beads in total. After deducting the ones previously used, the remaining thirteen Thunder Creation Beads were all brought over by the Azure Alliance leader.


    Of course, while the Thunder Creation Beads were indeed formidable, their drawbacks were also apparent.


    That was, they took a long time to activate, and during activation, they emitted thunderous fluctuations.


    At that time, even a fool could see that you were about to use a trump card.


    Then, whether to temporarily avoid the edge, there would be ample time to consider.


    However.


    The drawback of the Thunder Creation Beads.


    For the impending arrival of the ancestral demon tree.


    It was equivalent to nothing.


    Lin Yuan could calcte the timing perfectly.


    By activating the Thunder Creation Beads in advance, by the time the ancestral demon tree descended into the Azure World.


    The activation of the Thunder Creation Beads would be nearing its end.


    The ancestral demon tree probably hadn''t even reacted yet when it would face the devastating power of thirteen Thunder Creation Beads.


    "Just a bit more feeling off."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts flickered.


    A stone-like long sword flew out andnded in front of the Azure Alliance leader.


    This world weapon could only be activated by the creatures of this world. As for Lin Yuan? Even if he couldpletely suppress the world sword, he couldn''t activate it.


    After all, the evil demonic power of the ancestral demon tree was diametrically opposed to the pure power inside the world sword.


    During the time Lin Yuan wielded the world sword, his main purpose was toprehend the operation of the Azure World through it.


    "By activating this sword, do you have confidence in dealing with that extradimensional evil god?"


    Lin Yuan looked at the Azure Alliance leader and asked.


    The world sword was the strongest heritage of the Azure World, so Lin Yuan naturally couldn''t waste it.


    Since he couldn''t activate it himself, he would let the original owner of the world sword do it.


    After all, Lin Yuan hadpletely controlled the Azure Alliance leader now. The world sword in his hands was just a formality.


    "Master, rest assured."


    "With this sword in hand, just one of my subordinates is enough to suppress that extradimensional evil god."


    The Azure Alliance leader''s expression was exhrated.


    The closer the world sword was to the Azure World, the greater its power.


    Now that the world sword was within the Azure World, its power was even more unimaginable.


    "Almost there."


    Lin Yuan checked again and nodded slightly.


    In fact, even if the ancestral demon tree did its best to resist the ''Yin-Yang Reversal Heaven and Earth Extinction Nine Heavens Great Array'', resist the world-shattering power of the ''Thunder Creation Beads'', and resist the Azure Alliance leader wielding the world sword.


    It still needed to face the most terrifying presence.


    That was Lin Yuan himself.


    For over a hundred years, with his Unrivaled Insight, Lin Yuan himself didn''t know how strong he was because so far, no one had forced him to use his full strength.


    Even when dealing with the Azure Alliance leader, Lin Yuan just did it casually without expending any effort.


    Time passed.


    In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.


    The ancestral demon tree was still a bit worried and confirmed with Lin Yuan onest time.


    "Are you sure the surroundings of the space channel are safe?" The ancestral demon tree asked solemnly.


    Lin Yuan nced at the hundreds of strongmen who were on high alert, the Thunder Creation Beads emitting world-destroying fluctuations, and the Azure Alliance leader wielding the world sword with a terrifying aura.


    "Absolutely safe." (chad)


    Lin Yuan nodded, encouraging, "Ancestor, you can rest assured. Do you still not trust me?"


    After reassuring the ancestral demon tree a few more times, Lin Yuan began to open the space channel.


    Hum.


    The faint power of space began to fluctuate.


    A faint entrance began to form.


    Outside the world.


    The ancestral demon tree''s size was now less than sixty meters.


    "Finally, the space channel is starting to open."


    "We''ve been waiting for this day for too long."


    The ancestral demon tree stared at the gradually forming space channel, eyes brimming with tears.


    "Half an hour."


    "At most, just half an hour."


    "Then I can smoothly perform the secret technique and merge into the source of the Azure World."


    The ancestral demon tree calcted the time earnestly.


    Although the moment the space channel was opened, the spatial fluctuations generated would inevitably spread in all directions.


    But by the time the strongmen of the Azure World noticed, it would have been a long time.


    For the entire Azure World, a mere half an hour was too short.


    Unless it descended in the past, facing arge group of strongmen of the Azure World waiting in battle.


    Otherwise, no one could stop it from merging into the source of the Azure World.


    As long as it seeded in merging and devouring all the sources of the Azure World, the ancestral demon tree would be unprecedentedly powerful.


    "Hahaha."


    "The Azure World, here Ie."


    The ancestral demon tree waited patiently for a moment, confirmed the sessful opening of the space channel, and then boldly entered the entrance of the space channel.


    Hum.


    The next moment.


    It was as if crossing an infinite distance.


    When the ancestral demon tree stepped out of the space channel.


    It had already arrived at the deepest part of the ck Mist Mountains.


    "Where is this?"


    The ancestral demon tree hadn''t yet seen its surroundings clearly but caught a scent, its expression filled with enjoyment.


    "A delicious scent."


    The ancestral demon tree felt exceptionallyfortable through every pore,pared to the harsh environment outside the domain.


    The environment within the world was filled with gentle power everywhere, seeming like heaven to it.


    "Hurry up and perform the secret technique."


    The ancestral demon tree knew the importance of the matter.


    "Hmm?"


    The ancestral demon tree began to observe its surroundings.


    Soon, it spotted Lin Yuan.


    "You?"


    Upon losing the barrier of the world, the ancestral demon tree immediately perceived that Lin Yuan had grown to the sixth stage, and it was the limit of the sixth stage. Far from the scale of just entering the fifth stage.


    Furthermore, the ancestral demon tree was also shocked to find that it could faintly sense a breath from Lin Yuan that made its heart tremble.


    How could this be possible?


    Although the ancestral demon tree now only had half of its source, its strength was far inferior to its peak period. But facing its offspring, even if it only had one-tenth of its source left, it shouldn''t be like this.


    "Something''s wrong."


    The ancestral demon tree suddenly became clear-headed.


    Just as it was about to turn around and return to the outside world through the space channel.


    However.


    Crack.


    The space channel in front of it copsed inch by inch.


    The ancestral demon tree was stunned in ce.


    The next moment.


    A terrifying aura rose into the sky.


    A set of formations faintly emitting infinite power unfolded, and the power of the Yin-Yang Nine Heavens Extinction filled and spread.


    Immediately after.


    One Thunder Creation Bead after another began to emit extremely terrifying energy fluctuations.


    The terrifying power of thunder pervaded, turning the surrounding million miles into a nine-day thunder pond. Under the extremely strong thunder power, the ancestral demon tree felt its consciousness dimming, and its remaining power was once again suppressed.


    However.


    This was far from over.


    The Yin-Yang Reversal Heaven and Earth Extinction Nine Heavens Great Array waspletely activated, and hundreds of strongmen simultaneously made their moves.


    Once again, it was the Azure Alliance leader wielding the world sword, pouring all his strength into a strike. The space was instantly torn apart, and terrifying power descended.


    "No!!"


    Seeing this scene, the ancestral demon tree''s scalp exploded.


    "I am the ancestral demon tree!!"


    The ancestral demon tree began to reveal its true form without hesitation, its sixty-meter body began to swell up.


    Crash.


    In just an instant, the ancestral demon tree''s body was torn apart by more than half.


    This made the ancestral demon tree shudder in horror.


    Before it could make any move.


    The next round of attacks came crashing down again.


    "Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"


    The ancestral demon tree suddenly emitted a terrifying mental fluctuation.


    Because it knew that it was unlikely to walk out of the Azure World alive.


    Boom boom boom.


    Terrifying energy fluctuations covered the sky as if pouring down.


    Before it died.


    Countless thoughts shed through the ancestral demon tree''s mind.


    Until this moment, it still didn''t understand what had happened. Why were there so many strongmen ambushed outside the space channel? And why was the strongest heritage of the Azure World activated? Could it be that its offspring, the demonic tree, had sided with the Azure World? But this was even more impossible.


    Whether it was the demonic tree offspring or the ancestral demon tree itself.


    Both were in opposition to the Azure World and could not be reconciled.


    If it wasn''t the demonic tree offspring defecting, then was it the Azure World controlling the demonic tree offspring? But this was equally impossible. As the offspring of an extradimensional evil god, if it were so easily controlled, how could the ancestral demon tree have roamed the extradimensional realm for so many years?


    And in that brief moment just now, the ancestral demon tree perceived that many strongmen from the Azure World, including the one holding the world sword, the Azure Alliance leader.


    All showed utmost respect to its demonic tree offspring?


    Why was that? In the blink of an eye, one doubt after another shed through the ancestral demon tree''s mind.


    Boom boom boom.


    The massive body of the ancestral demon tree was torn apart.


    Countless sources scattered, and extremely pure evil power emerged.


    "Stop."


    Seeing this, Lin Yuan''s thoughts flickered slightly.


    The remaining fifty percent of the ancestral demon tree''s source began to gather towards him and were eventually swallowed in one gulp.

 Chapter 210

    Chapter 210


    Deep within the ck Mist Mountains.


    Here, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth boils, and terrifying spatial rifts appear one after another, only to quickly heal under the recovery of the void itself.


    If it weren''t for this being Lin Yuan''s stronghold built over a hundred years, stabilized by special means, the void within tens of thousands of miles would likely have been shattered.


    After all, the battle just now was too terrifying. In order to not give the Ancestral Demon Tree a chance, Lin Yuan didn''t hold back at all.


    All the reserves and trump cards were thrown at the Ancestral Demon Tree without hesitation.


    Moreover, Lin Yuan had no intention of conserving anything.


    "Ancestor? Are you still there, Ancestor?"


    Lin Yuan asked in a low voice after swallowing the essence of the Ancestral Demon Tree''s dispersal.


    However, Lin Yuan received no response from the Ancestral Demon Tree.Lin Yuan didn''t show any surprise either. At the moment when the body of the Ancestral Demon Tree was torn apart, Lin Yuan sensed that the Ancestral Demon Tree''s aura had dropped to freezing point.


    Now, he couldn''t sense the slightest trace of the Ancestral Demon Tree''s aura.


    As a subsidiary body of the Demon Tree, sensing the aura of the Ancestral Demon Tree was instinctual.


    Even if separated by a great distance and numerous world barriers, at most it would be a vague sense.


    But now, the Ancestral Demon Tree''s aura, or rather, its life force, seemed to havepletely disappeared.


    It was obvious that the Ancestral Demon Tree hadpletely fallen.


    "Is that it?"


    Lin Yuan sighed, looking somewhat disappointed.


    He had originally wanted to exchange a few moves with the Ancestral Demon Tree. He had instructed the Lord of the Azure Alliance not to hold back and to go all out.


    But in reality, Lin Yuan''s strongest trump card was still himself.


    Deep within the ck Mist Mountains, benefiting from the characteristics of the Demon Tree, Lin Yuan could exert his greatest strength.


    "Master, what should we do now?"


    At this moment, the Lord of the Azure Alliance and many others approached respectfully, asking.


    From the moment the Ancestral Demon Tree passed through the spatial channel, their attacks had not stopped.


    They only stopped when Lin Yuan said "stop."


    "You all go back."


    Lin Yuan casually ordered.


    With theplete death of the Ancestral Demon Tree, Lin Yuan began to face the next issue.


    That was the other subsidiary Demon Trees.


    First, he needed to understand the secrets of the Demon Trees, the extraterrestrial gods.


    The Ancestral Demon Tree was the absolute ruler of countless Demon Trees. As long as it was alive, the other subsidiary Demon Trees would unquestionably obey itsmands.


    This was a form of mental and ideological imprisonment.


    Secondly, there was physical imprisonment. With just a thought, the Ancestral Demon Tree could destroy any subsidiary Demon Tree.


    Of course.


    Lin Yuan was an exception.


    He descended into a dying subsidiary Demon Tree through the Gateway of Myriad Realms with his consciousness.


    Although he reced the original subsidiary Demon Tree, he did not have the loyalty to the Ancestral Demon Tree like the others.


    Whether it was mental and ideological imprisonment or physical imprisonment.


    They only existed when the Ancestral Demon Tree was alive.


    Once the Ancestral Demon Tree died, the mental and ideological imprisonment as well as physical imprisonment would disappear.


    Countless Demon Trees would have a certain thought.


    That is, to grow to the seventh rank and be the new Ancestral Demon Tree.


    This is simr to the queen ant in an ant colony.


    The death of the queen ant does not mean the copse of the ant colony.


    Instead, under the instinctual pull, a new queen ant is born.


    Now Lin Yuan faced this problem.


    He sensed, in the depths of countless distances, the other Demon Trees scattered.


    These Demon Trees were left behind by the Ancestral Demon Tree as many backhands, either to help guard a treasure for the Ancestral Demon Tree or to discover a secret realm that needed suppression.


    And now.


    These Demon Trees, almost at the same time, sensed the death of the Ancestral Demon Tree.


    "The Ancestor has died."


    "The Ancestor was so powerful, how could it die?"


    "The Ancestor has died, I want to be the new Ancestor!!!"


    Freed from mental imprisonment, countless Demon Trees harbored ambitions.


    At the same time, freed from physical imprisonment, many of the unique talents of the Ancestral Demon Tree also awakened in the subsidiary Demon Trees.


    "All want to be the Ancestor?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression showed a hint of coldness.


    Although he didn''t care much about the Ancestral Demon Tree, after all, he had just killed a true Ancestral Demon Tree.


    But Lin Yuan couldn''t ept being picked by other Demon Trees.


    "Let me be the Ancestral Demon Tree."


    Lin Yuan didn''t hesitate.


    After all, this time the transmigration belonged to the descent of consciousness. Regardless of what he became in the world of the transmigration, he would return to his original state when he returned to the main world.


    Lin Yuan also wanted to experience what it was like to be an extraterrestrial god.


    The growth of the Demon Tree is divided into eight stages.


    Although the Ancestral Demon Tree was said to be in the eighth stage, it hadn''tpletely crossed over.


    Strictly speaking, the Ancestral Demon Tree was still in the seventh stage.


    And under the premise of theplete death of the Ancestral Demon Tree, whichever Demon Tree first grew to the seventh stage would be able to be the new Ancestral Demon Tree.


    The seventh stage was a kind of limit for the Demon Tree.


    A Demon Tree at the seventh stage could gradually break free from mental and ideological imprisonment even if the Ancestral Demon Tree was still alive.


    Therefore.


    The Ancestral Demon Tree would never let a Demon Tree reach the seventh stage.


    And once a Demon Tree at the seventh stage appeared, no matter how far apart, the Ancestral Demon Tree would immediately sense it.


    Lin Yuan had already reached the peak of the sixth stage long before. The reason why he didn''t advance to the seventh stage was because he was afraid of alerting the Ancestral Demon Tree.


    But now.


    There''s no such restriction anymore.


    Thanks to the suppression of the Ancestral Demon Tree.


    Currently, apart from Lin Yuan, all other subsidiary Demon Trees have grown to at most the fifth stage.


    To attempt to break through to the seventh stage in a short time is simply impossible, even with the ''unlocking'' of many of the Ancestral Demon Tree''s innate abilities.


    So Lin Yuan felt no pressure at all.


    After some brief preparation, Lin Yuan began to push for the seventh stage.


    In fact, it''s risky for a Demon Tree at the peak of the sixth stage to attempt to advance to the seventh stage.


    Each stage of the Demon Tree represents a major transformation.


    But for Lin Yuan, the risk was almost zero after devouring arge amount of essence from the previous Ancestral Demon Tree.


    Combined with his Unrivaled Insight, if Lin Yuan still couldn''t advance to the seventh stage, he might as well end the transmigration early and return to the main world.


    Boom.


    Ten dayster.


    Lin Yuan grew to the seventh stage as a Demon Tree.


    The moment Lin Yuan crossed into this stage, a strange sensation swept over him.


    Originally, Lin Yuan couldn''t perceive the existence of other Demon Trees.


    But the death of the Ancestral Demon Tree allowed Lin Yuan to slightly sense many distant Demon Trees.


    However, it was only a slight sense, still based on apetitive rtionship.


    Simrly, other Demon Trees could also sense Lin Yuan''s presence.


    Before the birth of the new Ancestral Demon Tree, all Demon Trees were considered ''equal''.


    But now, this ''slight sense'' turned intoplete control after advancing to the seventh stage.


    Lin Yuan could forcibly contact all Demon Trees through some kind of innate ''authority''.


    Whether the other party wanted it or not.


    And Lin Yuan could also control the life and death of any Demon Tree.


    In short.


    Lin Yuan is now the Ancestral Demon Tree.


    Just as Lin Yuan ascended to the seventh stage and became the new Ancestral Demon Tree, all Demon Trees received this information. At the same time, new mental and ideological imprisonment formed.


    From then on, these Demon Trees treated Lin Yuan with absolute loyalty, and any ambitions and fantasies born from the death of the previous Ancestral Demon Tree disappeared.


    This is the Demon Treemunity.


    As long as the Ancestral Demon Tree is alive, the entiremunity has only one will, that of the Ancestral Demon Tree.


    "Greetings, Ancestor."


    "Greetings, Ancestor."


    "Greetings, Ancestor."


    "Greetings, Ancestor."


    Since Lin Yuan had just be the Ancestral Demon Tree, many ''authorities'' had not yet been obtained, so many Demon Trees still retained the ability to actively contact the Ancestor.


    And now, without exception, these Demon Trees offered their congrattions, without any other thoughts.


    "Thank you, I understand."


    Lin Yuan replied casually.


    Compared to the cruelty and ferocity of the previous Ancestral Demon Tree, Lin Yuan considered himself quite kind.


    "From now on, bring all the treasures ande to me."


    Lin Yuan ordered all Demon Trees.


    Why did the previous Ancestral Demon Tree leave subsidiary Demon Trees in many regions?


    It''s nothing more than finding certain treasures in corresponding ces. Some extraterrestrial treasures and rare items couldn''t be harvested in a short time, or they were still incubating, so the subsidiary Demon Trees were left to guard them first.


    And now.


    These rare treasures were all Lin Yuan''s.


    The Ancestral Demon Tree had indeed left him a huge inheritance.


    "Yes, Ancestor."


    "Ancestor, I''lle over now."


    "Ancestor, my current location requires three hundred and twenty years to reach you."


    Many Demon Trees began to report their situations. For ordinary life forms to cross into the extraterrestrial realm, the biggest problem is ''endurance,'' or how to survive.


    In the extraterrestrial void, there are no gentle energies like those in the world. It''s not easy to survive in such harsh conditions.


    However, Demon Trees have the ability of the ''Root of the Void.'' Lin Yuan only needed to open this ability to all subsidiary Demon Trees.


    After roughly addressing the issues of many Demon Trees, Lin Yuan''s mind returned to himself once again.


    "Ancestral Demon Tree, the extraterrestrial god. It feels very special?"


    Lin Yuan''s branches swayed. After advancing to the seventh stage and bing the new Ancestral Demon Tree, Lin Yuan''s body had already grown to tens of thousands of meters in size.


    Even the entire ck Mist Mountains could be overlooked with a single nce.


    And as time passed, Lin Yuan''s body continued to grow rapidly. It could be foreseen that he would grow to the towering height of the previous Ancestral Demon Tree that spanned the extraterrestrial realm.


    Lin Yuan tacitly agreed to this, without any suppression or concealment.


    Because Lin Yuan no longer needed to hide. The entire Azure world was under his control.


    What''s there to hide?


    "The essence of the Azure world."


    Lin Yuan''s gaze turned to the ground. The unique perception of the Ancestral Demon Tree allowed him to sense the vast waves of the world''s essence.


    Lin Yuan could not only sense the fluctuations of the world''s essence but also had the ability to merge into the vast ocean of the world''s essence.


    At that time, the entire Azure world''s essence would be a feast for Lin Yuan, to be consumed at will.


    This is a unique ability belonging to the Ancestral Demon Tree,pletely different from methods like the ''Root of the Void,'' and only the Ancestral Demon Tree itself can wield it.


    It''s the ''uniqueness'' ability within the entire Demon Treemunity.


    "No wonder the Ancestral Demon Tree is so eager to enter the interior of the Azure world, without worrying about being besieged by other strong beings."


    Lin Yuan pondered with a thoughtful expression.


    In theory, the Lord of the Azure Alliance wields the World Sword, capable of exerting power beyond the world''s boundaries within the world.


    If the Ancestral Demon Tree descends into the Azure world, it could easily be captured like a turtle in a jar, or like shooting fish in a barrel.


    But the Ancestral Demon Tree still yearns to do so because it can merge into the vast ocean of the world''s essence.


    Even the Lord of the Azure Alliance cannot enter the ocean of the world''s essence.


    If the Ancestral Demon Tree enters, it is equivalent to standing in an invincible position and being able to freely devour the world''s essence, rapidly bing stronger.


    As for the many consequences of devouring the world''s essence, such as the decline of the Azure world or even its destruction.


    That''s not something the Ancestral Demon Tree needs to worry about.


    "Now, as long as I''m willing, I can also merge into the ocean of the world''s essence and easily devour the entire essence of the Azure world."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Even at this moment, the instinct from the Ancestral Demon Tree was urging Lin Yuan to do so.


    "Unfortunately, I am not the Ancestral Demon Tree."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    For Lin Yuan, he''s just a passing traveler in this world. When his time is up, he will leave without taking anything with him.


    Devouring the essence of the Azure world could indeed enhance the Ancestral Demon Tree''s foundation and even push it towards the eighth stage.


    But what does that have to do with Lin Yuan?


    Unless Lin Yuan is willing to pay a huge price to bring the Ancestral Demon Tree back to the main world, otherwise, no matter how strong the Ancestral Demon Tree bes, it won''t affect him much.


    In Lin Yuan''s mind, maintaining the stability of the Azure world and enabling it to spread the path of martial evolution is the choice that maximizes his interests.


    At least it can provide assistance for Lin Yuan''s future ''ultimate leap.''


    "Even if the entire essence of the Azure world is devoured, the Ancestral Demon Tree still cannot reach the eighth stage. The eighth stage is the end of the road in the legend of the Demon Treemunity."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. The Ancestral Demon Tree''s cultivation system relies on exploring its own potential.


    Even if it truly reaches the eighth stage, it won''t provide much assistance to him.


    So, from beginning to end, Lin Yuan never considered devouring the essence of the Azure world because it would be detrimental without any benefit to him.


    "Let''s continue cultivating."


    After pondering for a while, Lin Yuan resumed his enlightenment.


    After bing the Ancestral Demon Tree, Lin Yuan also mastered many means that only the Ancestral Demon Tree possesses, all of which can be considered to be integrated into the path of martial evolution.


    Making the path of martial evolution more perfect and adaptable to more harsh environments.


    And so.


    Time passed swiftly.


    In the blink of an eye, it was three hundred yearster.

 Chapter 211

    Help me buy a newputer :D /DavidLord


    ...


    Three hundred years, in the grand scheme of the world, may not seem like much time.


    But for the inhabitants of the world, it could be considered quite lengthy.


    Especially for ordinary humans, three hundred years would likely span several generations.


    And in the world of Azure, these three hundred years have seen earth-shattering changes.


    First and foremost is the poprization of martial cultivation paths. Originally, the martial cultivation system in Azure had a high threshold, and there was a subtle practice of monopolization among the major powers.


    This led to the lower-ss people of Azure being cut off from upward paths, unable to touch the paths of the upper ss throughout their lives.


    It was only three hundred years ago that the martial cultivation system began to spread.Compared to the original cultivation system of the world, the threshold of the martial cultivation system was unbelievably low.


    As long as one is an individual, they are eligible to cultivate martial arts.


    Of course, the specific level of cultivation depends on oneself.


    But at least it gave ordinary people a chance.


    Secondly, the biggest change in Azure over the past three hundred years.


    It''s the ancient tree that has grown to an immeasurable height, resembling aly pir.


    This ancient tree is the sacred tree of Azure, and every year, the strong individuals of Azure personallye to worship beneath it.


    As for the other creatures of Azure, theoretically, no idle beings are allowed to stay within tens of thousands of miles of such a sacred tree.


    But the sacred tree is benevolent and does not mind the approach of insignificant beings.


    And just thousands of miles away from the sacred tree.


    There is a group of people who havee here to observe the sacred tree from a distance.


    Thousands of miles away, anything should appear incredibly tiny.


    But this group of people still feels the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of the sacred tree, making it hard to look directly at.


    "This is the sacred tree. The reason why my Azure was able to end the devastating war from hundreds of years ago is because of the great power of the sacred tree."


    The middle-aged man leading the group should y the role of ''master'' and is introducing more than ten young people behind him.


    "I''ve heard about it too."


    "The sacred tree is truly magnificent."


    The other youths nodded in session, their expressions full of longing.


    "But."


    Just then, a young man hesitated a bit and finally gathered the courage to speak up, "I heard some people say that the sacred tree has a lot to do with the initiator of the war hundreds of years ago - the demon ancestor tree."


    After this young man finished speaking, he cautiously stole a nce at his master.


    In fact, this kind of statement is not umon in Azure.


    Three hundred years is not enough to cover everything. Many cultivators from Azure rushed to the battlefield of the invasion by the extraterritorial evil gods.


    Many cultivators are still alive now, still remembering the image of the ancestral demon tree, and the sacred tree worshipped by all beings now bears some resemnce to that demon ancestor.


    "Demon ancestor tree? Nonsense!"


    The middle-aged man''s tone was angry, as he had also heard such ims, but he dismissed them with disdain.


    "I ask you, what was the purpose of the extraterritorial evil gods wanting to invade our Azure world?"


    The middle-aged man looked at the other youths, asking in a deep voice.


    "Those extraterritorial evil gods wanted to destroy our world."


    "Yes, those extraterritorial evil gods are despicable; they want to devour everything, including us."


    "Fortunately, we defeated the extraterritorial evil gods, otherwise, we would have been in dire straits."


    This time, all the youths'' answers were remarkably consistent.


    "In that case, if the sacred tree is really rted to the extraterritorial evil gods, should we be standing here wasting our time?"


    The middle-aged man eximed, "I don''t care how some people defile the sacred tree, but at least you should have your own judgment."


    "If it weren''t for the sacred tree, would those higher-ups open up resources to us?"


    "If it weren''t for the sacred tree, there wouldn''t even be the spread of the martial cultivation system. How many of you would have the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivation?"


    "If it weren''t for the sacred tree, would my Azure have been so peaceful and stable for these few hundred years? Without the slightest turmoil?"


    The more the middle-aged man spoke, the more excited he became. Many of his elders had lived through the era hundreds of years ago.


    Listening to the elders'' casual conversations when he was young, he knew that before the battlefield erupted with the extraterritorial evil gods, Azure was in great chaos, with major powers constantly at war.


    The lofty Azure Alliance overlooked all beings, capable of solving the chaos but unwilling to do so, calling it ''governing by non-action''?


    The middle-aged man''s words plunged the youths into contemtion.


    Indeed.


    These words make a lot of sense.


    If the sacred tree is truly rted to the demon ancestor tree.


    Then now, the entire world of Azure, instead of being destroyed by the sacred tree, should at least be enved by it. Would youths like them still have the qualifications toe here and observe the true body of the sacred tree?


    This ispletely contrary to the description of the demon ancestor tree.


    Although the youths are not very old, they also understand that the martial cultivation system they are practicing originated from the sacred tree.


    Those high-ranking individuals, it is precisely under themand of the sacred tree that they actively propagate martial arts.


    Thus, they have the qualification to cultivate martial arts.


    Today''s world of Azure, under the will of the sacred tree, is flourishing. Even the most ordinary people have the ability to survive.


    Living beings also have the possibility of pursuing a better life.


    How could such a sacred tree be rted to the ferocious and violent demon ancestor tree?


    "I don''t care why those people are desperately questioning the sacred tree, what benefits does it bring to them."


    The middle-aged man took a deep breath and continued, "But to call the sacred tree the demon ancestor tree is ridiculous."


    "How could the sacred tree be the demon ancestor tree? It is the world tree that shelters all beings like us."


    The middle-aged man looked again at the sacred tree in the distance, his eyes filled with admiration.


    "Yes."


    "Damn it, the enemy is hiding among us."


    "Whoever dares to defame the sacred tree in the future will be against me."


    The youths spoke up one after another, unaware of the invasion of extraterrestrial evil gods hundreds of years ago.


    But they can feel that the life they are living now is very good, and all of thises from the sacred tree.


    It''s a simple principle: what you say doesn''t matter, what matters is what you do.


    The prosperous world of Azure today is rapidly dispelling the rumors and gossip questioning the sacred tree.


    At the top of the sacred tree.


    This is close to the natural barrier of Azure, a little further up, and it may be possible to leave the scope of Azure.


    At this moment, there is a figure sitting cross-legged on the main trunk of the sacred tree.


    "Three hundred years."


    This figure is Lin Yuan. Strictly speaking, it belongs to the ''avatar'' derived from the demon seed of the demon ancestor tree.


    After bing the demon ancestor tree, Lin Yuan gained all the abilities of the demon ancestor tree, including the ability to manifest the demon seed.


    Although Lin Yuan has be a demon tree this time, he is essentially still human, so he directly activated the demon seed incarnation to form a human body, which he constantly resides in.


    "It''s a pity. Most of the innate abilities of the demon ancestor tree are bestowed upon the demon ancestor tree itself."


    "Even if fully understood, they cannot be used in the main world."


    Lin Yuan sighed.


    For example, the demon seed requires the seed formed by the demon tree, and when Lin Yuan returns to the main world and returns to his human form, he cannot condense the demon seed, so he cannot use methods like ''parasitism''.


    Unless Lin Yuan is willing to give up his human form andpletely transform into the demon ancestor tree, it is possible to inherit everything.


    With Lin Yuan''s current understanding of the demon ancestor tree, he canpletely create a technique of transforming the essence of life through unrivaled insight.


    By returning to the main world and using this technique, he can transform towards the demon ancestor tree.


    ording to the understanding of the Human Alliance, the definition of humans does not depend on the physical body, but on the soul.


    As long as Lin Yuan''s soul remains unchanged, even if he bes the demon ancestor tree, he still belongs to the human race.


    But the cost of doing so is too great. First of all, as a race, the demon ancestor tree cannot cultivate martial arts.


    This makes the efforts Lin Yuan made in the past six transmigrationse to naught.


    Secondly, for Azure, the demon ancestor tree is a huge existence that requires the power of the entire realm to resist.


    But in the main world, it''s not that insurmountable.


    However, peak bloodline creatures like Star Sea Kun are stronger than the demon ancestor tree, and many of the demon ancestor tree''s abilities, such as the most significant ''parasitic'' means, may be unsolvable in Azure, but in the main world, they are by no means terrifying.


    The so-called parasitism affects the will and spirit, let alone anything else, the three goddesses who observe all humans every moment and analyze anomalies through daily behavioral details can hardly be said to be terrifying.


    "But. If I really want to continue using the abilities of the demon ancestor tree, there is a way."


    Lin Yuan stroked his chin, silently thinking.


    The simplest way is to use some boundary-breaking source power to bring a seed of the demon ancestor tree back to the main world.


    Then Lin Yuan himself cultivates it, and when it grows slightly, he controls it through means.


    For human civilization in the main world, the demon ancestor tree can at most be considered a rare special life.


    And most of the high-ranking evolvers of human civilization control some special lives for their own use.


    Lin Yuan wants to control the demon ancestor tree, which is as simple as that.


    Even when the timees, Lin Yuan can train the demon ancestor tree into his own ''avatar'' to better control it.


    "Bringing back the entire demon ancestor tree would consume incredible boundary-breaking source power."


    "But just a seed. Ten traces of boundary-breaking source power would be enough."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    The Gateway of The Myriad Realms has the function of bringing back items from other worlds to the main world, and it can be realized by consuming boundary-breaking source power.


    As for how much boundary-breaking source power is needed, it depends on the size and level of the items brought back.


    The demon ancestor tree seed is only the size of a fist, how much cost can be paid to bring it back? In three hundred years, Lin Yuan enjoyed the resources of the entire Azure world alone, and the harvest can be said to be extremely astonishing.


    Firstly, there is the nourishment of the Essence Gold.


    This piece, originating from the main world, is treasured even by the invincible eighth-rank ruler of the Red Kun Star. It has even led to deadly battles with several peers of the same level and attracted the attention of ninth-rank extraterrestrial beings, bing a cosmic treasure.


    After Lin Yuan resolved the demon ancestor tree, he spent a strand of boundary-breaking source power to bring it from the main world into this realm.


    The reason for doing so is naturally to nurture the Essence Gold.


    Of course, Lin Yuan is not relying on himself to nurture it.


    The power of the demon ancestor tree tends toward evil and chaos. If it were to nurture the Essence Gold, it would waste time and energy and might even affect the formation of the Essence Gold.


    The ce where Lin Yuan nurtures the Essence Gold is within the Primordial Ocean of the Azure world.


    A world''s Primordial Ocean is extremely pure and clean, making it the best ce to nurture the Essence Gold.


    Weapons like the World Sword are born and nurtured within the world''s Primordial Ocean.


    Lin Yuan cing the Essence Gold in the Primordial Ocean of the Azure world will indeed have an impact on the world of Azure.


    But the impact is not significant, and Lin Yuan will only nurture it for a few hundred years. By the time Lin Yuan returns, Azure will have plenty of time to recover.


    "Hm?"


    Lin Yuan looked down and vaguely saw a huge Primordial Ocean, with a piece of metal floating within it. Looking from a distance, the shape of this metal piece already resembles a ''bell''?


    "The world''s Primordial Ocean has no life imprints, so it can substitute for me in nurturing the Essence Gold."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    In theory, the nurturing of the Essence Gold can only be done by oneself.


    Because if you rely on the power of others to nurture it, it will be contaminated with the other party''s life imprint, and it will be unclear who the Essence Gold ultimately belongs to.


    But the world''s Primordial Ocean does not have this risk. The consciousness of the world is simr to instinct and does not have what we call life imprints.


    "Martial Evolution System."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts turned. In the past three hundred years, Lin Yuan has thoroughly developed and perfected the Seventh-rank Path of Martial Arts, and is even considering the path to the Eighth-rank.


    "Although I haven''t cultivated the Martial Evolution System, during the process of opening the Seventh-rank Path, my realm has also been improving. Now I have reached the limit of the Seventh-rank. As long as I return to the main world and consume the Red Spirit Liquid, I can quickly reach the peak of the Seventh-rank King level."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    If there is no corresponding realm, Lin Yuan simply does not have the ability to open aplete Seventh-rank Path.


    Since ancient times, it has been heard that great schrs of evolution have insightfully opened up low-level evolutionary paths, but it has never been heard that low-level evolvers have opened up high-level evolutionary paths.


    Because without the realm, you simply cannot feel the essence of cultivation, let alone open it up.


    "The one thousand one hundred and thirty-three core spatial models."


    In Lin Yuan''s eyes, there is a faint silver ocean surging. In three hundred years, Lin Yuan hasprehended one thousand one hundred and thirty-three core spatial models.


    It must be noted that these are core spatial models, exining the essence of certain aspects of spatial rules.


    Even the Red Kun Star Lord, with the blessing of some original Star Sea Kun insights into spatial rules, has not yetprehended all the core spatial models.


    For Lin Yuan toprehend over a thousand core spatial models at the Seventh-rank level is simply monstrous.


    "I wonder, with so many spatial modelsprehended, howrge can the world within me expand to?"


    Lin Yuan looked forward with some anticipation.


    The size of the world within oneself depends mainly on one''s ownprehension of spatial rules, in addition to needing a sufficiently powerful body to support it.


    The deeper theprehension of spatial rules, therger the world within oneself, and the more world power can be mobilized.


    Just as Lin Yuan was about to continue his cultivation and enlightenment.


    "Hm?"


    Lin Yuan looked slightly surprised.


    In the next moment, several vast consciousnesses.


    From the distant outer space beyond Azure, suddenly descended upon the world.

    ...


    "Are you all here so early?"


    Lin Yuan also extended his consciousness, arriving outside the Azure World and merging with the several iing consciousnesses.


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness projection appeared as a ck ancient tree, while the other three projections were a giant snake, a light greenke, and a huge eyeball.


    The vast expanse of the outer domain''s void certainly did not contain just one outer domain evil god like the Ancient Demon Tree. These three consciousness projections were from other three outer domain evil gods.


    Among outer domain evil gods, it wasn''t always about fighting upon meeting. Cooperation was also possible.


    For instance, Lin Yuan had maintained good rtions with these three outer domain evil gods, asionally exchanging information, goods, or even conducting trades.


    Over the past three hundred years, Lin Yuan had attempted to befriend these outer domain evil gods while focusing on his cultivation.ording to the information he had gathered, there existed a gathering ce deep within the outer domain void where many outer domain evil gods resided.


    The ruler there was also an outer domain evil god who had reportedly reached the ninth stage.


    The growth stages of outer domain evil gods were distinct. Lin Yuan was currently at the seventh stage.


    The previous Ancient Demon Tree, strictly speaking, was also at the seventh stage. As for the ninth stage, even with Lin Yuan''s Unrivaled Insight, he couldn''t obtain any useful information.


    ording to Lin Yuan''s spection, outer domain evil gods at the ninth stage might not be as powerful as the strongest beings in the main world, but they wouldn''t be far off.


    "Brother Demon, we envy you for being able to upy such a world as a ce for cultivation," said the snake projection, emitting a sense of desire.


    While Lin Yuan was contemting, the snake projection sent out mental fluctuations, indicating that they were eager as well. However, they could only envy. With Lin Yuan''s Ancient Demon Tree guarding the Azure World, its defense was almost unbeatable.


    Even if several dozen outer domain evil gods came, they wouldn''t necessarily be able to break through the world barrier.


    Moreover, it was extremely difficult for a dozen outer domain evil gods to cooperate. Most importantly, even if they breached the Azure World, the resources of a single world would not satisfy a dozen or more outer domain evil gods.


    "Alright, let''s cut the chatter and start the trade," reminded the eyeball projection.


    These three outer domain evil gods had sent their consciousnesses here to conduct trades with Lin Yuan.


    "Same as usual. I want Sinful Water and any secret techniques rted to the world consciousness," Lin Yuan nodded, and with a thought, several pure blue Demon Seeds appeared before him.


    These Demon Seeds, condensed by the Ancient Demon Tree, were not only used as offensive tools but were also greatly beneficial treasures to other evil gods after reiming their life imprints.


    Over the years, Lin Yuan had earned a considerable fortune by trading these Demon Seeds. Of course, these Demon Seeds referred to the ones refined by Lin Yuan after perfecting the "Parasitism" technique.


    Each time he created one of these Demon Seeds, Lin Yuan had to expend some time and energy.


    However, the Demon Seeds reimed after retrieving his life imprint did not count towards Lin Yuan''s "Parasitism" limit.


    Therefore, Lin Yuan was willing to trade them.


    "No problem. Here are ten portions of Sinful Water," theke consciousness projection presented the collected Sinful Water.


    Lin Yuan exchanged it for twenty Demon Seeds. Sinful Water was a treasure found in certain secret areas of the outer domain void. It contained endless sin and was most suitable as a supplement for some outer domain evil gods.


    After multiple attempts, Lin Yuan discovered that Sinful Water had a considerable beneficial effect on the Ancient Demon Tree''s body.


    It was precisely because of this that Lin Yuan actively sought to trade for Sinful Water.


    Although the strength of the Ancient Demon Tree in this world had little impact on Lin Yuan''s true self in the main world, it would be beneficial if it could enhance the Ancient Demon Tree''s underlying strength.


    However, this was based on the premise that he needed the Azure World''s source to support the path of martial evolution. If it was possible to enhance the underlying strength of the Ancient Demon Tree, then naturally, it was better.


    "I have two secret techniques rted to the world consciousness. Please have a look, Brother Demon," the snake consciousness projection sent out mental fluctuations and transmitted the beginning of two secret techniques rted to the world consciousness to Lin Yuan.


    "Good, not bad," Lin Yuan nodded approvingly. "These two secret techniques have their merits." He then handed over ten Demon Seeds to the other party.


    The secret techniques rted to the world consciousness were connected to a certain n or goal of Lin Yuan''s. The world consciousness was elusive, barely essible to beings within the world. However, among outer domain evil gods, knowledge of the world consciousness was not a secret. Many outer domain evil gods who sought to invade a world were hindered by the world consciousness.


    The previous Ancient Demon Tree''s attempt to descend into the Azure World had been met with the emergence of the World Sword, followed by the formation of the Azure Alliance to resist the invasion.


    Therefore, over countless millennia, outer domain evil gods had developed a deep understanding of the world consciousness, even forming specialized techniques to counter it.


    "I have also collected a few secret techniques," the giant eyeball projection finally spoke.


    With this, the four outer domain evil godspleted their trades, each satisfied with the exchange.


    "Brother Demon, you''ve already taken control of this world, so why collect so many secret techniques rted to the world consciousness?" the snake consciousness projection curiously asked.


    The other two evil god consciousness projections also turned to Lin Yuan, waiting for his response.


    Indeed, with the methods of outer domain evil gods, once they descended into a world, victory was almost assured. Merging with the world''s source, the world consciousness became inconsequential.


    "I''m just curious," Lin Yuan casually replied, brushing off the question.


    "Curious?" the three evil god consciousness projections nced at each other. Since Lin Yuan didn''t want to borate, they didn''t press further. Outer domain evil gods seldom delved deeply into each other''s affairs.


    "By the way," the giant eyeball projection suddenly spoke, "do you have any ns right now?"


    "I have a friend who wants to meet you," the giant eyeball evil god projection immediately said enthusiastically upon arrival.


    "A friend? What does your friend want to see me for?" Lin Yuan frowned.


    "It''s good news, very good news," the giant eyeball projection quickly replied.


    Soon, another consciousness descended. This consciousness projection resembled a humanoid figure but with sixteen arms.


    "Brother Demon," the sixteen-armed evil god projection greeted Lin Yuan warmly.


    "This outer domain evil god is quite powerful," Lin Yuan''s expression slightly solemn. At least, it was stronger than the other three outer domain evil gods. However, it still couldn''tpare to Lin Yuan now.


    "We''ve found a void secret realm and want to invite Brother Demon to join us. Rest assured, Brother Demon will receive twenty percent of the final harvest from that void secret realm," the sixteen-armed evil god projection smiled. "Your strength, Brother Demon, is verymendable. In fact, capturing that void secret realm shouldn''t be difficult."


    "Void secret realm," Lin Yuan pondered. These secret realms were hazardous areas randomly born within the boundless outer domain void. They might contain treasures, opportunities, and dangers.


    Generally, when outer domain evil gods encountered void secret realms, they gained considerable benefits. The previous Ancient Demon Tree had encountered many void secret realms. In fact, in some cases where the entrance was inessible for a short time, it dispatched some of its subordinate Demon Trees to guard nearby.


    "Where is this void secret realm?" Lin Yuan asked.


    "Fly in this direction. It''ll take about five hundred years," the sixteen-armed evil god promptly answered.


    "I''m not interested," Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. The five hundred years of travel time was unrealistic for him now. With less than two hundred years left in the world, Lin Yuan had no need to explore any void secret realms.


    "Alright," Lin Yuan said, "When you''ve collected more relevant secret techniques or Sinful Water,e find me again."


    Lin Yuan withdrew his extended consciousness and returned to the Azure World.


    Immediately, the void was left with only the four lonely evil god consciousnesses.


    "What should we do now?"


    "Continue inviting?"


    "Or should we give up? Brother Demon seems to be very cautious. Let''s find other evil gods."


    The four evil god consciousnesses discussed among themselves before retracing their steps.


    In the Azure World, atop the Ancient Demon Tree, Lin Yuan gazed into the distance at the departing evil god consciousnesses.


    "It seems I''ve been targeted," Lin Yuan pondered, although he didn''t perceive any ill intentions from the sixteen-armed evil god consciousness.


    However, the sudden invitation had sparked many thoughts in Lin Yuan''s mind.


    Over the past three hundred years, Lin Yuan had often traded with other evil gods, and the Demon Seeds, as a modity," were highly sought after by many evil gods. It was only natural that some evil gods would take an interest in him.


    "Whether I''m being targeted or not, as long as I hide within the Azure World and don''te out, who can harm me?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Lin Yuan''s attention shifted to the new secret techniques he had acquired. "World Consciousness," Lin Yuan repeated as he studied it repeatedly.


    Lin Yuan''s reason for delving into such secret techniques was to attempt to rece the world consciousness of the Azure World with his own consciousness, or more urately, with the instinctual consciousness of the Ancient Demon Tree.


    In theory, such an idea was undoubtedly absurd. The world consciousness was immense, and even for outer domain evil gods, it was impossible to directly confront the vast and mighty world consciousness, let alone rece it.


    Most methods used by outer domain evil gods to deal with the world consciousness were akin to parasites, slowly eroding the world''s source.


    However, in the current situation, the world consciousness of the Azure World had fallen into a slumber, coupled with Lin Yuan''s control of the World Sword, he could influence the world consciousness to some extent.


    If, with his extraordinary insight, and with many secret techniques rted to the world consciousness as a foundation, Lin Yuan could create a suitable method to rece the world consciousness, it might not be impossible.


    The reason Lin Yuan wanted to rece the world consciousness of the Azure World was for a certain spection he held.


    The Gate of the Myriad Realms''s transmigration function, the lowest-level random transmigration, required the consumption of a strand of Breaking Boundary Source Power each time.


    But if precise transmigration using world coordinates were possible, it would require ten strands of Breaking Boundary Source Power.


    Where exactly did these Breaking Boundary Source Powers go? If Lin Yuan''s consciousness faced no resistance or rejection from this world, would the consumption of Breaking Boundary Source Power decrease significantly?


    If that were the case, and if Lin Yuan could rece the world consciousness of the Azure World with the instinctual consciousness of the Ancient Demon Tree, and then open his consciousness fully to the Azure World, the amount of Breaking Boundary Source Power consumed when he descended into the Azure World might be greatly reduced.


    At that time, the entire Azure World would be Lin Yuan''s backyard. He could descend whenever he wanted.


    "There are still one hundred and ny years of residency time left," Lin Yuan reminded himself.


    "During this time, most of my energy will be focused on creating the method to rece the world consciousness."


    As forprehending the core models of spatial rules, after fully understanding more than a thousand core spatial models, the difficulty ofprehending each subsequent spatial model would greatly increase.


    In one hundred and ny years, he couldprehend at most a little over a hundred core spatial rule models. It wouldn''t make much difference.


    And continuing to explore the subsequent ranks of martial evolution? Lin Yuan had alreadypleted the Seventh Rank of Martial Evolution. He had yet to step into the Eighth Rank, and choosing to explore the Eighth Rank might be a bit too demanding without much benefit.


    Instead, it would be better to focus all remaining energy on developing the method to rece the consciousness. After all, such opportunities might note even after dozens of transmigrations.


    Trying to put the world consciousness to sleep? The difficulty was too great, and world weapons like the World Sword weren''t avable in every world.


    Time passed silently, and before he knew it, another one hundred and eighty years had gone by.

    ...


    The trunk of the Ancestor Demon Tree grew even thicker, and the ancient, profound aura rushed forth. No matter how far away, the beings of the Azure World could see the sacred tree that supported the heavens and earth just by looking up.


    At this moment, Lin Yuan''s cultivation also reached a critical juncture.


    [Your insight is unrivaled,prehending many secret techniques of various worlds, gradually deepening your own umtion]


    [Your insight is unrivaled,prehending many secret techniques of various worlds, gradually deepening your own umtion]


    [Your insight is unrivaled,prehending many secret techniques of various worlds, gradually deepening your own umtion]


    Establishing a method to rece the world''s secret techniques was theoretically impossible, akin to a mere ant climbing to the top of the sky.


    Even with unrivaled insight, it still required a foundation and nourishment. Many secret techniques rted to the consciousness of the world in this realm were the most precious nourishment.Over the past few hundred years, Lin Yuan had obtained many secret techniques rted to the consciousness of various worlds through trades with other extraterritorial evil gods, pointing out a specific direction for the unrivaled insight.


    [Your insight is unrivaled,prehending many secret techniques of various worlds, creating a method to rece the consciousness of the world]


    Numerous inspirations erupted in Lin Yuan''s mind, forming aplete secret technique.


    "Finally done."


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes, with a hint of emotion in his expression.


    For a full one hundred and eighty years, he had no distractions. He no longer deduced the path of martial arts evolution, nor did he contemte the core spatial model. It was all toprehend the method of recing the consciousness of the world before the limit arrived.


    In Lin Yuan''s n, even if he couldn''tprehend the method of recing the consciousness of the world this time, he would wait for six or seven years after returning to the main world to umte ten strands of boundary-breaking source power and descend to the Azure World again.


    After all,pletely owning a world was too tempting, and with minimal cost and the ability to descend to the Azure World at any time, Lin Yuan couldn''t refuse.


    It''s important to note that Lin Yuan''s arrival wasn''t just in the Azure World.


    It was in the vast extraterritorial void, including the Azure World.


    Epassing countless extraterritorial evil gods, worlds simr to the Azure World, and even terrifying evil gods that had grown to the ninth stage.


    It was precisely because Lin Yuan perceived the vast void outside the Azure World that he was determined to obtain the Azure World.


    "This secret technique."


    Lin Yuan began to focus on the newly created method of recing the consciousness of the world.


    This secret technique indeed had the potential to rece the instinctual consciousness of the Ancestor Demon Tree with the consciousness of the Azure World.


    However, there were many limitations.


    For example, the consciousness of the Azure World must be powerless to resist, that is, it must be asleep.


    And one must grasp the means to influence the consciousness of the world, which could be achieved by relying on the World Sword.


    Many limitations can be said to specifically target the current state of the Azure World.


    From another perspective, the state of the Azure World was indeed rare, with many conditions simultaneously present, as if it had been prepared specifically for Lin Yuan.


    "Unfortunately, if this kind of secret technique were used in the main world, it would probably be crushed into pieces by the vast consciousness of the main world at the first moment."


    Lin Yuan sighed.


    If talking about recing the consciousness of the world, the best target naturally would be the main world.


    If he could rece the consciousness of the main world, Lin Yuan would be the undisputed strongest in the universe, among the countless races of the cosmos.


    Even the invincible strongest would be suppressed.


    But unfortunately, the premise of this secret technique was that the consciousness of the world must be asleep.


    And Lin Yuan couldn''t think of how to make the consciousness of the main world fall asleep.


    Battle between the strongest?


    With the means of the strongest,unching all-out attacks could create permanent spatial fissures millions, billions, or even trillions of miles wide.


    But considering the vastness of the main world, even permanent spatial fissures spanning billions of light-years would be insignificant to the main world.


    "There''s about ten years left of residence time."


    "Let''s start trying to rece the consciousness of the world."


    Lin Yuan didn''t rest. Immediately after creating the secret technique, he began to execute it.


    Hum.


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness began to elevate, merging into the vast ocean of origin of the Azure World.


    This was the innate ability of the Ancestor Demon Tree, but Lin Yuan''s integration was not for devouring the origin, but to prepare for the recement toe.


    "So wonderful. Is this the most fundamental area of the world?"


    Lin Yuan observed carefully, sensing endless energy fluctuations. Everything that happened in the Azure World was reflected here.


    Mastering the origin of the world was equivalent to mastering the entire Azure World.


    "Those extraterritorial evil gods are truly foolish. Such a perfect ce, yet they only think of devouring it instead ofprehending and controlling it?"


    Lin Yuan thought of the Ancestor Demon Tree''s desire for the origin of the Azure World, that desire to devour itpletely, and shook his head slightly.


    This was the thinking of almost all extraterritorial evil gods.


    Devour.


    Devour.


    Devour.


    However, to Lin Yuan, this was almost the most foolish approach.


    It was like melting down and forging an integrated circuit chip that had gathered various high-tech achievements.


    In fact, Lin Yuan overestimated those extraterritorial evil gods.


    Lin Yuan could sense a lot of mysteries from the origin of the world because of his unrivaled insight.


    But the extraterritorial evil gods didn''t have much insight. They were more dominated by instinct, and how could they look as deep and far as Lin Yuan?


    "Let''s begin."


    Lin Yuan breathed out lightly, and his consciousness began to diffuse and elevate.


    Within just a few breaths, Lin Yuan''s consciousness spread to every corner of the origin area.


    If the consciousness of the world were not asleep but awake, it would easily crush Lin Yuan''s consciousness.


    There was no suspense.


    The consciousness dispersed into countless subtle parts, would be unable to resist the overwhelming pressure of the vast world consciousness.


    But the world consciousness was asleep.


    Naturally, this scene did not ur.


    Even so, Lin Yuan remained cautious.


    Even if the world consciousness was asleep, there was still a risk of assimtion with his consciousness being so scattered.


    Once assimted, Lin Yuan wouldpletely lose himself. Although he would eventually rece the world consciousness, fundamentally, there would be no difference from the consciousness being reced.


    So Lin Yuan was extremely vignt.


    As soon as there was a trend of assimtion, he would not hesitate to end this journey.


    At that time, the Gate of the Myriad Realms would operate on its own, sucking all of his consciousness into the gate and sending it back to the main world.


    This was also Lin Yuan''s greatest confidence in daring to attempt to rece the world consciousness.


    He had the Gate of the Myriad Realms, which could prevent the most extreme situations from urring.


    It was just an early return, a small loss for Lin Yuan.


    Time passed slowly.


    In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.


    During these three years, Lin Yuan''s consciousness, powered by the origin, merged into every part of the Azure World.


    Hum.


    At this moment.


    Subtle changes began to ur in the Azure World.


    These changes were extremely subtle. Even the peak seventh-ranked leaders of the Azure Alliance could only perceive them vaguely and were not very sure.


    Above the sky, a huge face appeared faintly, precisely Lin Yuan''s face. His eyes alone were over millions of miles wide, overlooking every aspect of the Azure World.


    "Does this count as a sessful recement?" Lin Yuan secretly thought. At this moment, with just a thought, he could appear anywhere in the Azure World.


    He didn''t even need to appear; he could sense everything happening in the world.


    "Am I... the Master of the World?" Lin Yuan''s consciousness returned, back into the body of the Ancestor Demon Tree.


    "In the Azure World, I am invincible," Lin Yuan said thoughtfully.


    At this moment, he hadpletely reced the consciousness of the Azure World. The entire Azure World, like his body, could be controlled at will.


    "This power... is too terrifying," Lin Yuan couldn''t help but marvel. Controlling a world felt incredibly shocking, being able to wield the power of the world at will.


    Lin Yuan felt that, at this moment, if he faced an invasion by the Ancestor Demon Tree, he would have no pressure at all.


    Compared to the original world consciousness, Lin Yuan''s greatest differencey in having concrete thoughts and ideas, able to make any actions.


    It was like herbivores in the natural world facing carnivores; even if they were far stronger in terms of strength and size, they dared not resist and would face death if chased.


    The Azure World and the extraterritorial evil gods were like herbivores and carnivores respectively.


    The world consciousness of the Azure World only had rough instincts. Faced with the invasion of the extraterritorial evil gods, it only knew to use all its strength recklessly, unable to grasp the details.


    But Lin Yuan reced the original world consciousness, controlling everything. The extraterritorial evil gods, as long as they didn''te by the dozens or hundreds, could bepletely ignored.


    "The Essence Gold."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts moved slightly, and the Essence Gold appeared before him.


    After nearly five hundred years of gestation, the shape of the Essence Gold hadpletely formed. It was a ''clock-shaped'' object, with many natural patterns engraved on its surface, ancient and vast, bearing the traces of long years passing by.


    "I require the gestation of the Essence Gold for defense, absolute defense. It''s not only physical defense but also spiritual and soul defense."


    Lin Yuan carefully inspected the Essence Gold.


    The preciousness of the Essence Goldy in its potential for growth and its malleability.


    Thetter was its malleability, meaning it could approach any type of weapon. With Lin Yuan''s unrivaled insight, given enough time, it could grow to an unimaginable height. Therefore, the shaping of the Essence Gold naturally focused on survival.


    "But the gestation of the Essence Gold does indeed consume a lot of the world''s origin. After nearly five hundred years of gestation, the world''s origin has been reduced by at least half to one-tenth."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Don''t underestimate half to one-tenth; in the vastness of the Azure World, even half would be enough to bankrupt an eighth-ranked evolver from the main world.


    "But it''s worth it."


    "Nearly five hundred years of gestation has almost formed the Essence Gold. When I return this time, it should be usable."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    With the formidable strength of the Essence Gold, the defense intensity in terms of soul would not be inferior to that of an eighth-ranked soul defense treasure.


    The most difficult thing was that the Essence Gold could bebined with other weapon treasures.


    In other words, Lin Yuan could simultaneously defend his soul with an eighth-ranked soul defense treasure and the Essence Gold.


    Under the Ancestor Demon Tree.


    The Lord of the Azure Alliance, along with the vice-lords, guardians, and elders, gathered here.


    "Master."


    The Lord of the Azure Alliance respectfully spoke to the figure in front of him.


    "Master."


    Others did the same.


    "You can all rise."


    Lin Yuan waved his hand. What appeared before everyone now was an incarnation condensed from the power of the world.


    After recing the world consciousness and bing the true master of the Azure World, Lin Yuan could mobilize the power of the world for his own use.


    Creating an incarnation was just a thought away.


    "Next, I will enter seclusion. The duration is uncertain, possibly hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years," Lin Yuan said.


    In a few years, Lin Yuan would reach the limit of his stay, and he would return to the main world.


    Although Lin Yuan had be the master of the Azure World, the cost of returning would be much lower. However, due to the different flow rates of time between the two realms, Lin Yuan''s next return might be hundreds or thousands of yearster.


    "What? Master is going into seclusion?"


    "Thousands or tens of thousands of years, that''s too long."


    The Lord of the Azure Alliance and many others couldn''t help but speak up.


    "During my seclusion, the governance of the Azure World will follow the measures and guidelines I have left behind," Lin Yuan said.


    These measures and guidelines were derived from human civilization in the main world.


    As the pinnacle race of the universe with a long history, human civilization had rich experience in governing life on a.


    These measures and guidelines were borrowed by Lin Yuan from the main world.


    As long as these measures and guidelines were implemented, and with the maintenance of powerful force, the Azure World would enter a long period of prosperity.


    And this would greatly benefit martial arts as well. The more prosperous and thriving the world, the greater the quantity and quality of martial artists.


    "Alright."


    "You can all leave now."


    Lin Yuan waved his hand.


    The Lord of the Azure Alliance and others respectfully withdrew.


    In the next few years, Lin Yuan simply gave up cultivation.


    Instead, he used the power of the world master to travel to every corner of the Azure World.


    "The operation of the world, life is the key."


    Lin Yuan stood on a high mountain, below which was a vige with smoke rising from it.


    If there were no life, even if there were manyprehensive rules, something would still be missing.


    "Rules of life."


    A hint of green flowed in Lin Yuan''s eyes.


    Like the rules of space, the rules of life were also one of the pir rules. They were the most crucial part of the world''s evolution¡ªhow life was born.


    "[Your insight is extraordinary. Watching the proliferation of life, your understanding of the rules of life deepens]."


    "I didn''t expect that, in thest few years, I would actually grasp the basics of the rules of life?" Lin Yuan smiled.


    The rules of life were on the same level as the rules of space. Initially, Lin Yuan had spent a lot of effort to grasp the rules of space.


    But now, grasping the basics of the rules of life seemed much easier.


    This was partly because of Lin Yuan''s current level, which was far higher than when heprehended the rules of space, and partly because, as the master of the world, he could perceive the nuances of life more intricately.


    "The time hase."


    Lin Yuan''s mind converged, and he saw the Gate of the Myriad Realms suddenly radiating bright light.


    "Many preparations have been made."


    Lin Yuan looked in the direction of the Ancestor Demon Tree.


    At this moment, he had already reced the instinctual consciousness of the Ancestor Demon Tree with his own consciousness. Even if he left this realm, this world would still be under his control.


    Having deeply imprinted his own life mark on it, the next time he descended, he could instantly gain ownership of the world.


    "Let''s go back."


    Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze, and his figure quickly dissipated.


    His consciousness also turned into a light point and entered the Gate of the Myriad Realms.

    Help me buy a newputer :D /DavidLord


    ...


    In a daze.


    Red Kun Main Star, thirteenth peak.


    In the depths of the main hall, Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes.


    "Six hundred years, just a snap of the fingers."


    Lin Yuan''s eyes showed ripples, and scenes from his experiences in the Azure World shed through his mind, finally returning to calm.


    Six hundred years might be just a nap for a creature like the Red Kun Star Lord, who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years. Even in the eyes of his much younger martial brothers, it might only be the time to close one''s eyes and practice a secret technique?


    But for Lin Yuan, it had indeed been a long time. Even with the time spent shuttling back and forth, six hundred years was a significant portion of his overall time.Lin Yuan looked around.


    "The world has changed."


    Lin Yuan''s gaze was calm.


    Afterprehending more than a thousand core spatial models, Lin Yuan could see the ''ripples'' caused by countless fluctuations in spatial forces wherever he looked.


    If the Azure World was like a small pond, Lin Yuan could trace the source of every ''ripple'' and see its end, everything was under his control.


    Then the universe''s starry sky of the main world was like a vast ocean, Any ''ripple'' in space could spread and affect extremely distant ces, Even if Lin Yuan focused his gaze, he could only see a small segment of the fluctuation.


    "The different sizes of the worlds result in different perceptions."


    Lin Yuan pondered, He clearly felt the bottleneck and shackles he faced whenprehending core spatial models after returning to the main world, At this moment, not to mention being swept away, most of it had dissipated.


    "But let''s set this aside for now."


    "Let''s see the connection between the Gate to the Myriad Realms and the Azure World."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts converged, his mind sinking into his brain, looking towards the majestic Gate to the Myriad Realms.


    In thest two hundred years of the Azure World, Lin Yuan had abandoned everything, devoting all his energy to establishing a method to rece the world''s consciousness.


    Such behavior was naturally not just for controlling the Azure World.


    If it was about controlling the Azure World, Lin Yuan didn''t need to go to such trouble. With the strength of the demon tree ancestor, who would dare to disobey his will?


    Lin Yuan''s real goal was to turn the Azure World into a paradise, and then to have some ideas about the boundless outer void beyond the Azure World.


    Hmm.


    Lin Yuan carefully observed the area below the Gate to the Myriad Realms.


    Beyond the first six world coordinate imprints, a seventh world coordinate imprint was faintly forming.


    It was precisely the world coordinate of the Azure World.


    Lin Yuan gazed at the coordinate of the Azure World, and bits of information began to flow into his mind.


    "As expected."


    "Now, the consumption of crossing over to the Azure World is only one-third of the source power?"


    Lin Yuan was delighted.


    For such precise crossing to a world using world coordinates, the consumption of source power was usually ten strands.


    But now, with only one-third of the source power, it was evident that the Azure World no longer resisted Lin Yuan''s consciousness, but even actively epted it, greatly saving the consumption of source power.


    "One-third of the source power, that''s more than ny days in the main world."


    Lin Yuan smiled.


    Under normal circumstances, it took three hundred and thirty-three days to umte one strand of source power for the Gate to the Myriad Realms.


    With the blessing of the permanent spatial rift, it only needed two hundred and ny days for one strand.


    "Also, through the world coordinates on the Gate to the Myriad Realms, I can faintly receive many pieces of information from the Ancestor Demon Tree?"


    Lin Yuan suddenly realized something.


    The current Ancestor Demon Tree had be the new world consciousness of the Azure World, also known as the ''Heavenly Dao''.


    And the Ancestor Demon Tree was just Lin Yuan''s carrier, simr to a clone. In theory, the two should share consciousness and have mutual memories.


    However.


    Due to the vast void where the main world and the Azure World were located, they were too far apart, Even not in the same dimension, not in the same timeline, and even had a huge difference in the flow rate of time.


    So the perception link between Lin Yuan and the Ancestor Demon Tree had beenpletely severed.


    But through the Gate to the Myriad Realms, the two managed to barely establish a faint connection?


    "I didn''t expect the Gate to the Myriad Realms to have this use?"


    Lin Yuan smiled. Through this faint connection, Lin Yuan roughly understood the situation of the Azure World, and the choice of the node for descending would be more precise.


    Even if the current consumption of descending to the Azure World was only one-third of the source power, even if it was one-tenth of the source power, it was still source power and couldn''t be casually consumed.


    After confirming the connection with the Azure World.


    Lin Yuan turned his attention to himself.


    "Let''s take a look at the internal world?"


    With a slight movement of his mind, Lin Yuan''s consciousness descended into his internal world.


    Before the sixth transmigration, Lin Yuan''s internal world was only ten square miles.


    However, now.


    Apanied by Lin Yuan''s consciousness descending.


    Many insights into the rules of space merged.


    Boom.


    The internal world underwent a tremendous change directly.


    At the edge of the world, countless spatial forces gathered, causing spatial vibrations, and the world''s limit rapidly increased.


    This in turn led to. Lin Yuan once again falling into a kind of crazy hunger.


    Entering the Seventh Rank, when opening up the internal world, Lin Yuan had such a feeling.


    But at that time, with ample Red Spirit Liquid preparations, the opening of the internal world was exceptionally smooth.


    But now.


    "Wait a moment, wait a moment."


    Lin Yuan hurriedly suppressed the expansion of his internal world. With his current understanding of spatial rules, the ultimate limit of his internal world was at least thousands of miles in radius.


    Expanding from ten square miles to thousands of square miles was not simply a matter of increasing by a thousand times or more; the energy requirement was terrifying.


    If Lin Yuan didn''t suppress it, he''d probably be sucked dry.


    "Actively suppressing the expansion of the internal world, this behavior of mine is considered rare in the history of human civilization, right?"


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    Generally speaking, the expansion of an Eighth Rank Evolver''s internal world was gradual and depended mainly on their understanding of spatial rules.


    And theprehension of spatial rules, especially core spatial models, would not have a sudden and rapid advancement in a short period but rather a slow progression.


    In this way, the expansion of the internal world could be achieved by naturally absorbing external energy.


    As for someone like Lin Yuan now, whoprehended more than a thousand core spatial models in an instant.


    Such a span, such an extent, would probably not be believed by more than a few Eighth Rank Evolvers if mentioned.


    "Apply for Red Spirit Liquid."


    Lin Yuan immediately connected to the virtualwork and began to apply for Red Spirit Liquid inrge quantities.


    "It may take a few days."


    Afterpleting the application, Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    If it was just a regr amount of Red Spirit Liquid, Lin Yuan could probably receive it within half an hour by applying now.


    After all, he was currently on the Red Kun Main Star.


    But the quantity of Red Spirit Liquid Lin Yuan applied for was too enormous, tens of thousands of times the amount he had applied for when breaking through to the Seventh Rank.


    "Path of Martial Evolution, Seventh Rank Chapter."


    While waiting for the Red Spirit Liquid, Lin Yuan began to examine the Seventh Rank Chapter.


    After hundreds of years of continuous improvement through the sixth transmigration, the Seventh Rank Chapter of the Path of Martial Evolution was basically formed.


    What remained for Lin Yuan to do was simply to make slight adjustments based on various aspects of human civilization''s many evolvers'' physiques.


    Lin Yuan even felt that such adjustments were unnecessary. The considerations for them had already been taken into ount back in the Azure World.


    Half a dayter.


    Lin Yuan packaged the organized Seventh Rank Chapter and uploaded it to the Goddess of Wisdom.


    "Respected Level Six Citizen Lin Yuan, the Seventh Rank Chapter you uploaded is under evaluation, please wait."


    The solemn and cold voice of the Goddess of Wisdom came.


    At the same time.


    On a mysterious far away from the Red Kun Main Star.


    Giant screens shed crazily, beginning to deduce the potential and details of the Seventh Rank Chapter of martial arts.


    "Detected that the ''Seventh Rank Chapter'' involves multiple paths, with increased poprity in the future. Detected that only a few paths of the ''Seventh Rank Chapter'' have the potential to open up the internal world. The evaluation of the Path of Martial Evolution will be reassessed."


    "Discovered that the ''Seventh Rank Chapter'' significantly enhances adaptability to various extreme environments, with a probability of achieving dominance in uninhabited areas without spirits. The overall evaluation of the Path of Martial Evolution has increased."


    "After evaluation, the possibility of the Path of Martial Evolution advancing to the Eighth Rank Path is seventy percent, and the possibility of advancing to the Ninth Rank Path is thirty percent."


    "Triggering the Core n of Human Civilization, contacting the Goddesses of Freedom and Justice."


    "After repeated confirmation by the three Goddesses, the evaluation of the Seventh Rank Chapter of the Path of Martial Evolution remains unchanged."


    "Begin evaluation of the Seventh Rank Chapter''s value."


    "After evaluation, the value of the Seventh Rank Chapter of the Path of Martial Evolution is three million merits, and the protection level for the founder of this evolutionary path is increased."


    Lin Yuan patiently awaited the evaluation of the Goddess of Wisdom.


    "It''s taking so long?"


    Lin Yuan was slightly surprised. The waiting time after previous uploads, the longest being when hepletely changed the path of martial arts to no longer be confined to Yin and Yang, had not been this long.


    But the waiting time for uploading the Seventh Rank Chapter had already exceeded that one by a long time.


    "Wait patiently."


    "The longer the wait, the higher the value."


    Lin Yuan didn''t mind. He had plenty of time now.


    "With my current level, once I fully restore my strength, I''ll be at the peak of the Seventh Rank King Level."


    "At that time, my goal will be to break through to the Eighth Rank."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The most difficult step to break through to the Eighth Rank, opening up the internal world, Lin Yuan had alreadypleted long ago.


    What remained for Lin Yuan to focus on was improving his willpower, in order to face the tribtion of the Heart Devil. (Or Heart Demon, it''s the same)


    However, there was no specific way to pass the Heart Devil, and themon method used by the Human Alliance to pass the Heart Devil was simply to live long enough.


    umting over a long period, even a pig, as long as it didn''t die, wouldn''t be weak in spirit.


    "I can try to pass the Heart Devil next time I transmigration. If it doesn''t work, I can actively end the transmigration and return to the main world."


    Lin Yuan thought silently to himself, this was also a ''clever'' method he came up with.


    Using the transmigration ability of the Gate to the Myriad Realms to make the ''Heart Devil'' lose its target.


    But whether it would work or not, Lin Yuan was not sure. He didn''t know what kind of existence the Heart Devil was. Was it from the outside? Or is it from within oneself?


    If it was from within oneself, then this ''clever'' method probably wouldn''t be of much use.


    "Let''s see when the timees."


    "In fact, I haven''t lived for a short time now, plus the time spent shuttling between worlds, it''s been over a thousand years." (My opinion? It''s really too short.-.)


    Lin Yuan was thinking.


    The solemn and cold voice of the Goddess of Wisdom came.


    "Respected Level Six Citizen Lin Yuan, the Seventh Rank Chapter of the Path of Martial Evolution that you uploaded has been evaluated."


    "Oh? How many merit points is it worth?" Lin Yuan curiously inquired.


    Through the waiting time, Lin Yuan judged that the value of the Seventh Rank Chapter was very high.


    But exactly how high could only be determined by the three Goddesses.


    "Respected Level Six Citizen Lin Yuan, the Seventh Rank Chapter of the Path of Martial Evolution you uploaded is worth three million merit points," the Goddess of Wisdom replied.


    "Three million merit points!"


    Lin Yuan was surprised. He had originally thought that a million merit points at most, or close to two million, would be sufficient.


    He didn''t expect it to be three million merit points.


    Three million merit points, on the battlefield against the other races, that would be the lives of three Eighth Rank beings, or the kind that could kill Lin Yuan himself.


    Moreover, on the battlefield against the other races, Eighth Rank beings were extremely difficult to kill. The Eighth Rank beings that the Red Kun Star Lord devoured were basically just avatars, and as for the original beings, they had long since fled who knew how far.


    In addition, Eighth Rank beings, equivalent to Eighth Rank Evolvers on the human civilization side, held high positions and could apply to the three Goddesses to rule over a star domain, bing kings and ancestors.


    "Not bad, not bad."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly. The high evaluation of the Seventh Rank Chapter by the Goddess of Wisdom undoubtedly also showed recognition of Lin Yuan.


    "Let''s see the specific information of the current Path of Martial Evolution."


    Lin Yuan opened his personal panel and found the option for the Path of Martial Evolution, which only the founder of a certain evolutionary path could see.


    "The Path of Martial Evolution is currently at the Seventh Rank, with a seventy percent chance of advancing to the Eighth Rank."


    Lin Yuan couldn''t help but be amazed.


    A seventy percent chance of advancing to the Eighth Rank meant that as long as Lin Yuan didn''t die, he would basically be a future evolutionary schr.


    The conditions for bing an evolutionary schr in the Human Civilization Alliance were to establish aplete, stable, andpletely new Eighth Rank evolutionary path.


    Although it was only an evolutionary path, the many evolutionary theories involved in it were vast and profound. Being able to establish an Eighth Rank evolutionary path undoubtedly meant an extremely deep understanding of many things in the field of evolution.


    Bing an Eighth Rank Evolver might have some lucky factors, such as obtaining some rare treasures that could assist in opening up the internal world.


    But bing an evolutionary schr had absolutely no lucky factors; it was entirely based on one''s own strength.


    Since the Red Kun Star Domain was opened, there had only been three evolutionary schrs born in over a million years.


    Inparison, the number of Eighth Rank Evolvers was hundreds or thousands of times greater.


    "The possibility of advancing to the Ninth Rank Path is thirty percent?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression slightly condensed. This was the first time he had seen such an evaluation. Before this, the limit of the Path of Martial Evolution had been the Eighth Rank.


    "The Ninth Rank Path."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts surged. So far, Lin Yuan had no clue about the Ninth Rank Chapter of the Path of Martial Evolution.


    However, since the three Goddesses affirmed that the current Path of Martial Evolution had the possibility of advancing to the Ninth Rank Path, it meant that the direction Lin Yuan was currently taking was correct. Otherwise, it would be contrary to the Ninth Rank Path.


    There would be no possibility of advancing to the Ninth Rank Path at all.


    "That''s right."


    "Now, let''s see where the Path of Martial Evolution ranks on the Red Kun Evolution Ranking."


    Lin Yuan seemed to think of something and immediately clicked on the "Ranking" section.


    "The Path of Martial Evolution ranks second on the Red Kun Evolution Ranking."


    Lin Yuan''s expression changed slightly, showing a hint of surprise.

    Chapter 215


    Help me buy a newputer :D /DavidLord


    ...


    When the martial path of the sixth rank was uploaded previously, the ranking of the martial path evolution on the Red Kun Evolution List was sixth.


    This was already quite impressive.


    You see, the paths of evolution that can squeeze into the Red Kun Evolution List are all extremely powerful paths of evolution of the seventh rank, the top three of which are even eighth rank.


    They are the three evolution schrs born in the Red Kun Star Domain.


    For millions of years, these three eighth-rank paths of evolution have illuminated countless evolvers in the Red Kun Star Domain.


    Countless evolvers in the Red Kun Star Domain have been influenced by these three eighth-rank paths of evolution.


    Therefore.For the martial path evolution to be able to squeeze into the sixth ce on the Red Kun Evolution List with a sixth-rank evolution path...


    You, a sixth-rank evolution path, breaking into the top ten fields dominated only by top seventh-rank evolution paths?


    And this time uploading the seventh-rank segment, in Lin Yuan''s view, the ranking of the martial path evolution may reach the fifth, or if it goes well, the fourth.


    Whether it''s fourth or fifth, the martial path evolution is qualified to be called the strongest among many seventh-rank evolution paths in the Red Kun Star Domain.


    However, when Lin Yuan truly saw the ranking of the martial path evolution, he was somewhat surprised.


    "Second on the Red Kun Evolution List."


    This was thetest judgment of the Goddess of Wisdom on the martial path evolution.


    Ranked second on the Red Kun Evolution List.


    Pressing down on two eighth-rank paths of evolution.


    "This too."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    He had thought that the ranking of the martial path evolution would rise, but he didn''t expect it to directly reach second ce.


    Even Lin Yuan found it somewhat terrifying.


    Although in Lin Yuan''s mind, advancing to an eighth-rank evolution path was not difficult, as long as oneprehended the Tao step by step.


    But the three goddesses like the Goddess of Wisdom didn''t know.


    In the judgment of the three goddesses, the possibility of the martial path evolution advancing to an eighth-rank evolution path was seventy percent.


    But a path of evolution that had only a seventy percent chance ofprehending to advance to an eighth-rank path had pressed down two paths that were already eighth-rank paths of evolution.


    This was simply inconceivable.


    "What could be the reason?"


    Lin Yuan pondered in his heart.


    The most important thing about the seventh-rank segment of the martial path evolution was to open up an inner world.


    That is, mastering the method of opening up boundaries.


    But such means were also possessed by eighth-rank paths of evolution.


    And to advance to an eighth-rank path of evolution, it was necessary to have the method of opening up boundaries.


    However, not all evolvers could open up an inner world in the seventh-rank segment of the martial path evolution.


    "I don''t know either."


    Lin Yuan also didn''t know how the three goddesses judged.


    But since that was the case, it meant that the martial path evolution had a higher status in the eyes of the three goddesses than ordinary eighth-rank paths of evolution.


    The virtual world of the main star of the Red Kun.


    Central za area.


    Countless evolvers gathered here to chat.


    "The martial path evolution."


    "I wonder when that mysterious schr will upload the seventh-rank segment."


    "Indeed, I''m also looking forward to it. After uploading the seventh-rank segment, where will the martial path evolution rank?"


    "What rank will it be? I bet that as soon as the seventh-rank segment is uploaded, the martial path evolution will be able to rank fourth, the strongest among many seventh-rank evolution paths in the Red Kun Star Domain."


    "That''s right, when the martial path evolution was at the sixth rank, it couldpete with a group of top seventh-rank evolution paths. When the martial path evolution advances to the seventh rank, except for eighth-rank evolution paths, who could surpass it?"


    Countless evolvers and high-level citizens kept discussing.


    Although some citizens questioned the timing of the upload of the seventh-rank segment of the martial path evolution, believing that even for evolution schrs, creating the seventh-rank segment of the martial path evolution was not an easy task.


    But all evolvers had an almost unanimous belief.


    That is, as long as the seventh-rank segment of the martial path evolution was uploaded, then the martial path evolution would be the strongest seventh-rank evolution path in the history of the Red Kun Star Domain.


    Of course.


    Many evolvers never imagined that after uploading the seventh-rank segment, the martial path evolution would surpass one or two eighth-rank evolution paths.


    Because that was simply unrealistic.


    There was a qualitative change from a seventh-rank evolver to an eighth-rank evolver.


    Eighth-rank evolvers possessed an inner world, and with every move and every gesture, they wielded the power of the world. Even if there were many seventh-rank king-level evolvers, they would still be wiped out.


    This was also why human civilization decided that as long as one became an eighth-rank evolver, they would have the power to rule over a star domain and be a star lord.


    Inparison.


    The difference between seventh-rank evolution paths and eighth-rank evolution paths was even greater.


    Even if the seventh-rank evolution paths were strong, they were still only seventh-rank evolution paths, with at most a higher possibility of advancing to an eighth-rank evolution path.


    How could theypare to, let alone surpass, true eighth-rank evolution paths?


    While many evolvers were debating when the seventh-rank segment of the martial path evolution would be uploaded in the central za area...


    Hum.


    The time came to the early morning.


    The Red Kun Evolution List began to "update."


    Whoosh.


    After a few breaths.


    The "update" waspleted.


    Many sharp-eyed evolvers found that the martial path evolution, which was originally ranked sixth, had disappeared.


    "Hahaha, I told you, the upload of the seventh-rank segment of the martial path evolution must be in the near future, not too far away."


    "I''m sure that this schr who created the martial path evolution is very powerful, even among other evolution schrs."


    The evolvers discussed for a while, then looked up again to confirm how high the martial path evolution had risen.


    Soon.


    Some evolvers couldn''t find the martial path evolution in the fourth or fifth ce and subconsciously looked higher, only to find the martial path evolution ranked second.


    In the blink of an eye, the central za area erupted into chaos.


    "Ranked second?"


    "I remember the second and third evolution paths were eighth-rank evolution paths, right?"


    "The martial path evolution surpassed two eighth-rank evolution paths?"


    "Could it be that the founder schr uploaded both the seventh-rank and eighth-rank segments consecutively? Otherwise, how could it surpass eighth-rank evolution paths?"


    "No, I just checked, and currently the highest rank of the martial path evolution is seventh."


    "My goodness, a seventh-rank evolution path''s ranking has actually surpassed eighth-rank evolution paths?"


    Countless evolvers were puzzled, feeling that their understanding was starting to shatter.


    Eighth-rank evolution paths were always superior, giving birth to eighth-rank evolvers. How could they be surpassed by a seventh-rank evolution path?


    Even if this seventh-rank evolution path was outstanding, it still seemed impossible.


    "I''ve already purchased the seventh-rank segment of the martial path evolution. I want to see what''s inside that made the three goddesses give such a high evaluation."


    "Me too, the three goddesses are absolutely fair. The martial path evolution being able to surpass eighth-rank evolution paths definitely has its outstanding aspects."


    Evolvers began to purchase the seventh-rank segment to watch.


    At the Red Kun main star.


    Lin Yuan strolled out of the main hall and wandered around casually.


    Before the Red Spirit Liquid arrived, he had nothing to do. As for continuing toprehend the spatial model? If he continued, Lin Yuan estimated that he would soon be unable to suppress the natural expansion of his inner world.


    "Hmm?"


    "Many people are discussing the martial path evolution?"


    Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows, noticing that many members of the Red Kun Lineage were discussing the martial path evolution.


    The Red Kun Lineage was the absolute ruler of the Red Kun Star Domain, and ordinary matters generally didn''t affect its many members.


    Therefore, even when the martial path evolution uploaded the sixth-rank segment and entered the sixth ce on the Red Kun Evolution List, it only caused a small-scale discussion within the Red Kun Lineage.


    But now?


    It was already arge-scale discussion, and not just arge-scale discussion, but a discussion involving all members.


    The Red Kun Lineage didn''t pay much attention to seventh-rank evolution paths, even if they were the strongest seventh-rank evolution paths.


    But the birth of each eighth-rank evolution path represented an evolution schr.


    Moreover, this time the martial path evolution forcibly entered the eighth-rank evolution path level with a seventh-rank evolution path.


    It was simply inconceivable.


    In fact, not only the Red Kun Star Domain was discussing it, but also nearby neighboring star domains, and even the vast Star Alliance. Countless evolvers were discussing this matter.


    In the crimson pce.


    The Red Kun Star Lord purchased the seventh-rank segment of the martial path evolution.


    Then he carefully began to read it.


    "Hmm, this evolution path does not restrict to a specific direction but is based on the evolver''s expertise. Indeed impressive."


    The Red Kun Star Lord nodded slightly.


    "However, just based on this, it wants to surpass eighth-rank evolution paths?"


    The Red Kun Star Lord looked puzzled.


    If it was just based on poprity, it was basically impossible to shake the status of eighth-rank evolution paths.


    Even if there were many seventh-rank evolvers, they were still not as good as an eighth-rank evolver.


    "Perhaps there are aspects of this that I haven''t understood?"


    The Red Kun Star Lord thought to himself.


    The seventh-rank segment of the martial path evolution offered paths as vast as the ocean, not only including basic rules but also involving pir rules.


    Unless the Red Kun Star Lord chose to go through the martial path evolution path again, it would be difficult to notice the subtle aspects.


    "Never mind."


    "I''ll pay more attention during this time."


    The Red Kun Star Lord thought for a moment and continued to cultivate.


    Several dayster.


    Lin Yuan looked at the numerous water bottles in front of him.


    They were filled with an enormous amount of Red Spirit Liquid.


    "It''s finally here."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    "Let''s start expanding the inner world."


    Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. "Themotion caused by expanding the inner world this time should be impossible to conceal."


    Lin Yuan suddenly realized.


    When he broke through to the seventh rank, the inner world he opened up was only ten miles in radius.


    With Lin Yuan''s level of mastery over his strength and deductions using Unrivaled Insight, it was enough to conceal it from even ordinary eighth-rank evolvers.


    But next.


    Lin Yuan''s inner world was about to expand to a radius of more than ten thousand miles. Such a significant disturbance would be difficult to suppress, and if left unchecked, it would surely rm the entire Red Kun main star.


    Thinking of this, Lin Yuan immediately contacted the Red Kun Star Lord.


    "Teacher, I''ll need you to cover for me during my uing cultivation," Lin Yuan said as he connected his consciousness to the virtual world and arrived at the Red Kun Star Lord''s crimson pce.


    Lin Yuan didn''t need to hide anything from the Red Kun Star Lord, considering he was his teacher. After all, the Star Lord must have been aware of Lin Yuan''s request for so much Red Spirit Liquid.


    "Cover for you?" The Red Kun Star Lord looked at his disciple with a smile on his face. "Well done, my good disciple, for knowing toe to me when you have something on your mind."


    Although the Red Kun Star Lord would have paid more attention during this time even if Lin Yuan hadn''t spoken up, hearing it directly from his disciple still pleased him.


    "Is it rted to your inner world?" The Red Kun Star Lord, though he had already guessed, asked anyway.


    "Yes," Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment before nodding.


    Internally, he marveled at the Star Lord''s perceptive abilities; after all, he had probably already seen through all his secrets.


    "Very well."


    "Go ahead."


    "No matter whatmotion arises, your teacher will handle it for you."


    With a wave of his hand, the Red Kun Star Lord assured Lin Yuan.


    "Thank you, teacher," Lin Yuan expressed his gratitude.


    After Lin Yuan left, the Red Kun Star Lord became curious.


    "I wonder howrge my good disciple''s inner world will be," he mused to himself. "Will it be one mile in radius? Three miles, or perhaps five miles?"


    Even for a seventh-rank pinnacle evolver, the inner world usually wouldn''t exceed five miles in radius. And for someone like Lin Yuan, who wasn''t even at the seventh-rank pinnacle, it would likely be even smaller.


    "We''ll see," the Red Kun Star Lord said, looking towards the direction of the Thirteenth Peak.


    As the ruler of the Red Kun main star, he could intervene anywhere in an instant.


    "With the assurance from the teacher, I can begin" Lin Yuan said as he entered his inner world and began to release the suppression.


    Boom!


    At the edge of the world, space began to shatter, and arge amount of spatial power converged, continuously expanding the inner world.


    Outside, the Red Spirit Liquid in the bottles fused into Lin Yuan''s body, replenishing the energy needed for the expansion of the inner world.


    Boom!


    As the inner world expanded frantically, strands of world power escaped Lin Yuan''s control, forming a massive world shadow hovering above him.


    The world shadow swiftly exceeded ten thousand miles in an instant.


    Then, twenty thousand miles.


    Thirty thousand miles.


    Fifty thousand miles.


    Inside the crimson pce, the Red Kun Star Lord had been paying attention to the Thirteenth Peak the whole time.


    When he sensed faint spatial fluctuations and the fluctuations of world powering from the peak, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.


    For Lin Yuan to open his inner world before reaching the seventh-rank pinnacle showed an extraordinary talent. And as his teacher, how could the Red Kun Star Lord not be delighted?


    "Will it be three miles or five miles?" the Red Kun Star Lord wondered as he observed the fluctuations of spatial and world power. ording to his experience, the size of the world shadow formed by these forces escaping was an indication of the true size of the inner world.


    The next moment, his eyes widened.


    "Oh no."


    Without hesitation, the Red Kun Star Lord disappeared and reappeared before the Thirteenth Peak. With a wave of his hand, he cleaved this area directly from the Red Kun main star.


    Boom!


    The massive world shadow rapidly expanded.


    Looking up at the world shadow, which had already reached eighty to ny thousand miles, the Red Kun Star Lord couldn''t help but wonder.


    "My good disciple, isn''t your inner world toorge? Holy.."


    ncing down at the Thirteenth Peak below, then back up at the vast world shadow, he began to doubt himself.


    Was his good disciple at the seventh rank or the eighth rank?

    ...


    Red Kun Main Star, Central Continent.


    Thirteenth Peak.


    From the outside, this peak appeared no different from usual.


    However, in reality, this area had long been isted by the Red Kun Star Lord through some means, separated from the original Red Kun Main Star.


    With the Red Kun Star Lord''s strength, these actions didn''t draw the attention of any evolvers on the main star.


    Moreover, all evolvers within the isted area had fallen into a deep sleep, unable to perceive the vast changes in the outside world.


    Boom!The surging force of the world and the fluctuations of spatial power continued unabated.


    The immense world shadow continued to expand rapidly, showing no sign of stopping even after surpassing a hundred thousand miles.


    Alone in the void, the Red Kun Star Lord silently watched the world shadow above.


    Exaggerated.


    It was truly exaggerated.


    The Red Kun Star Lord had already held Lin Yuan in high regard.


    He thought that his talented disciple might be able to reach three to five miles in diameter before reaching the pinnacle of the seventh rank.


    But in reality? The world shadow now approached nearly a hundred and ten thousand miles.


    How many times greater was this than before? A world with a diameter of a hundred and ten thousand miles was nothing to the Red Kun Star Lord.


    The Star Sea Kun, a favored child of the universe, nurtured a small world upon birth and easily reached dozens of miles upon reaching adulthood at the sixth rank.


    Upon reaching the seventh rank, the internal world directly reached tens of thousands of miles.


    Upon entering the eighth rank, the Red Kun Star Lord''s internal world surpassed a million miles.


    But this was the Star Sea Kun, the ''darling'' of the cosmic space''s source, born with a small world. This was a talent inherent to themselves.


    But Lin Yuan? Just a human, he managed to nurture an internal world of over a hundred thousand miles at the seventh rank. This was simply... The Red Kun Star Lord''s thoughts surged.


    Were you a Star Sea Kun, or was I?


    "The size of the internal world mainly depends on the understanding of spatial rules," the Red Kun Star Lord thought to himself.


    Star Sea Kuns carried an internal world because, upon birth, these special creatures had already grasped the basics of spatial rules, having understood nine hundred and sixty-five basic spatial models.


    In addition, some core spatial models were on the verge of being understood, giving them a huge advantage as ''darlings'' of the cosmic space''s source.


    Even with cosmic treasures like the ''Worldly Fruit,'' forcibly creating an internal world would result in a world of only a few hundred to a few thousand miles at most.


    To continue expanding the internal world afterward, one had to enhance their understanding of spatial rules.


    Lin Yuan''s internal world was now at least over a hundred thousand miles, something that no cosmic treasure could achieve. It could only be aplished through one''s own umtion in understanding spatial rules.


    "A world with a diameter of a hundred thousand miles would require understanding of at least a thousand core spatial models. My disciple, Lin Yuan, just grasped the basic spatial models not long ago."


    The Red Kun Star Lord suddenly felt powerless.


    Lin Yuan''s talent and insight were simply terrifying. How long had it been since he achieved such a feat in the core spatial models?


    "Before the age of a hundred, Understanding a thousand core spatial models is something only a small number of people in the entire universe human alliance can achieve," the Red Kun Star Lord thought to himself.


    "If starting from scratch, without relying on any external objects..."


    "I''m afraid there''s hardly any genius among today''s evolvers who canpare to my disciple," the Red Kun Star Lord silently pondered.


    "The expansion speed of the world shadow has slowed down," the Red Kun Star Lord breathed a sigh of relief. A world with a diameter of over a hundred thousand miles was almost approaching the internal world of an evolver at the pinnacle of the eighth rank.


    In the depths of the hall.


    With every breath Lin Yuan took, the force of the world overflowed.


    "It finally stopped," Lin Yuan''s consciousness stood in his internal world, looking at the world with a diameter of nearly a hundred and twenty thousand miles, a smile on his face.


    Compared to the previous world with a diameter of only ten miles, the internal world with a diameter of nearly a hundred and twenty thousand miles now was equivalent to more than a dozen Cann Stars.


    "I can feel that the internal world can continue to expand a bit more, but due to the limitations of the physical body and soul, it has stopped at a hundred and twenty thousand miles," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The size of an evolver''s internal world mainly depended on two factors.


    One was the evolver''s physical body and soul, which formed the foundation for carrying the internal world. If the physical body and soul were too weak, even with a high understanding of space, the internal world wouldn''t grow much.


    The martial path Lin Yuan cultivated emphasized the physical body, and with his soul transformed into a primordial spirit, it was equally strong, which allowed him to carry an internal world with a diameter of a hundred and twenty thousand miles.


    The second factor was the understanding of space.


    Now, Lin Yuan clearly felt that his understanding of space exceeded the limits of his physical body.


    "Doesn''t have much of an impact."


    "With such a vast internal world, the world power nurtured within it almost strengthens my physical body and soul every moment," Lin Yuan closed his eyes, feeling the world power flowing like a stream, nourishing his physical body and soul along his limbs and bones.


    "I am currently at the seventh rank King level, but with such a huge internal world, ordinary eighth-rank evolvers would be no match for me," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Even if they reached the eighth rank and understood many techniques belonging to eighth-rank evolvers, Lin Yuan''s internal world was too vast, the world power surging, using brute force instead of skill, unless facing someone with a simr internal world, others would only be able to flee when facing Lin Yuan.


    "Next, it''s time to try to break through the eighth rank."


    "Before that, I should strengthen my own mental will as much as possible, to better face the ''Trial of the Heart Demon.''"


    Lin Yuan''s goal was obvious. With his current foundation, if not for the ''Trial of the Heart Demon,'' he could easily break through now.


    "To strengthen mental will, themon way in human civilization is to experience more, to live on."


    "But this is just themon way. There are many other methods to enhance the strength of mental will."


    Although Lin Yuan had found a clever way to pass the ''Trial of the Heart Demon'' using the Gate to the Myriad Realms, but this method was not foolproof. Lin Yuan would only attempt it when he was confident of passing the Trial of the Heart Demon.


    Casual attempts? Without preparation, to face the Trial of the Heart Demon, if the Gate to the Myriad Realms couldn''t iste the ''Heart Demon,'' wouldn''t it be seeking death? How to pass the ''Trial of the Heart Demon'' was the most crucial aspect for human evolvers.


    Once the ''Trial of the Heart Demon'' failed, it would be death without a doubt, not even ''resurrection'' would be possible.


    Because the essence of the ''Trial of the Heart Demon'' came from one''s own mind. Even if the strongest intervened and forcibly resurrected someone, they would still be in a state of facing the ''Trial of the Heart Demon.''


    At that time, they would still die. Because they couldn''t pass.


    In front of one''s own ''Heart Demon,'' even the offspring of the strongest were equal to all living beings.


    "That''s about it."


    "It''s time to go out and meet the teacher."


    Lin Yuan had long sensed that the external space had beenpletely isted from normal space, probably by the Red Kun Star Lord to conceal the expansion of his internal world.


    Lin Yuan had asked the Red Kun Star Lord for help in concealing it, because even a seventh-rank internal world was astonishing enough when ced outside.


    Moreover, the fluctuations in Lin Yuan''s internal world just now were far from simple.


    So it was better to conceal it.


    There was no choice, the encounters on the battlefield of different races before had made Lin Yuan cautious.


    If it were an ordinary breakthrough, even if he reached the eighth rank, Lin Yuan wouldn''t be so cautious, but having a internal world of over a hundred thousand miles at the seventh rank was indeed somewhat unbelievable.


    Stepping out of the hall.


    Lin Yuan saw that the Red Kun Star Lord had been waiting for a long time.


    "Is everything alright?" The Red Kun Star Lord gazed at Lin Yuan, asking.


    "Everything''s fine," Lin Yuan nodded.


    "My good disciple, you really surprised me," the Red Kun Star Lord shook his head, full of emotion.


    "How far have you reached in your understanding of the core spatial models?" The Red Kun Star Lord continued to ask.


    "Core spatial models," Lin Yuan knew he couldn''t hide it from the Red Kun Star Lord and answered truthfully, "Not even twelve hundred types, I guess."


    In fact, if it weren''t for thest two hundred years in the Azure World, where Lin Yuan gave upprehending spatial rules, he estimated that he would have understood about fifteen hundred core spatial models by now.


    "Not even twelve hundred," the Red Kun Star Lord sighed.


    Why did this sound so disappointing?


    "Teacher, I recently discovered that the further I go, the slower theprehension speed of the core spatial models bes, and the more times I encounter bottlenecks," Lin Yuan immediately said.


    The Red Kun Star Lord fell silent.


    "This is normal," the Red Kun Star Lord couldn''t help but say.


    "You are able toprehend twelve hundred core spatial models at this age, which is already rare. It''s extremely rare."


    The Red Kun Star Lord said in a low voice, "If it weren''t for the confirmation of the three goddesses, I would doubt whether you were possessed by a strong outsider."


    Lin Yuan smiled, "Possessed?"


    That''s right, like the Red Kun Star Lord could possess the Star Sea Kun, other outsiders could naturally possess human evolvers.


    However, Lin Yuan''s soul, confirmed by the three goddesses multiple times, undoubtedly belonged to humans, not other outsiders.


    "Your talent and insight are too strong," the Red Kun Star Lord finally said what was on his mind.


    All along, the Red Kun Star Lord had heard others describe Lin Yuan like this. After all, with the Star Sea Kun as his main body, the Red Kun Star Lord''s understanding of spatial rules had always been far ahead of others.


    "I may be lucky," Lin Yuan said.


    "Luck can always be good?" the Red Kun Star Lord shook his head.


    "However, now that you have opened up your internal world, the focus next should be on your mental will," the Red Kun Star Lord''s expression became slightly serious.


    The more Lin Yuan, a top-tier genius evolver like this, was more likely to stumble in his mental will, in the ''Trial of the Heart Demon.''


    Because of the smoothness in the early stages, without any setbacks, there''s an unconscious feeling that the Trial of the Heart Demon is just a formality.


    After all, from the seventh to the eighth rank, opening up the internal world is recognized as the most difficult, and as for the Trial of the Heart Demon, even the most ordinary evolvers have a chance to pass it.


    However, once this thought arises, there may be problems.


    In the millions of years of Star Sea history, there have been countless genius evolvers who failed in the Trial of the Heart Demon.


    "I understand," Lin Yuan nodded. He had never underestimated the Trial of the Heart Demon.


    "Although mental will is difficult to measure, we humans have summarized a set of standards for estimating mental will, which I will give youter," the Red Kun Star Lord spoke.


    This set of standards, even in the Human Civilization Alliance, is considered ''top secret,'' because it''s easy for other races to use it.


    So only the Red Kun Star Lord, as a Lord of the star domain, knows the specifics. Lin Yuan couldn''t even find it in the virtualwork or the Red Kun Vault.


    After seeing off the Red Kun Star Lord, Lin Yuan returned to the main hall once again.


    "Internal world."


    Lin Yuan was familiarizing himself with the power of internal time, after all, with an internal world that had exploded to a radius of 120,000 miles, it was filled with immense world power.


    "Hmm?"


    "Someone is looking for me?"


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes and activated the virtual panel.


    "Shi Feng?"


    Lin Yuan connected his consciousness to the virtual world.


    Soon, an old man with a red nose walked out.


    It was a good friend Lin Yuan had met in the circle of virtual world founders.


    Shi Feng.


    During the Star Alliance conference, Shi Feng had facilitated the trade of voting rights for him.


    "Hahaha, Brother Thirteen, the Star Alliance conference is about to be held, remember to attend," Shi Feng said with augh.


    "That''s natural," Lin Yuan nodded.


    He had received benefits from the Moonwatch Star Domain, so he wouldn''t forget.


    As for the threat from Jin Tianzhao in the Golden Dragon Star Domain, Lin Yuan didn''t even care.


    Let alone Jin Tianzhao, even the Lord of the Golden Dragon Star Domain wouldn''t dare to make a move against a sixth-rank citizen.


    Lin Yuan chatted with Shi Feng for a while.


    Then he disconnected from the virtual world and returned to reality with his consciousness.


    "Speaking of which, my contribution points are enough to promote to a seventh-rank citizen," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    To go from a sixth-rank citizen to a seventh-rank citizen, it requires two million contribution points.


    Originally, Lin Yuan thought this was an unattainable goal, at least it would take several crossings to umte enough.


    But with just one transmigration, uploading the seventh-rank chapter, he received a reward of three million contribution points.


    The main reason was that the seventh-rank chapter involved opening up the internal world, and it was highly praised by the three goddesses.


    "Promote."


    Lin Yuan''s mind moved slightly.


    In an instant, the over three million contribution points in Lin Yuan''s ount decreased by two million.


    At the same time.


    Lin Yuan''s citizen level changed from the original sixth rank to the seventh rank.


    "Seventh-rank citizen!!"


    Lin Yuan''s spirit shook slightly. It''s worth noting that the citizen level of ordinary eighth-rank evolvers hadn''t reached the seventh rank, and contribution points weren''t easy to umte.


    Before Lin Yuan could think further, emails from the Central Star Domain began to arrive, introducing many privileges of seventh-rank citizens.


    ...

    Help me buy a newputer :D /DavidLord


    ...


    "Those privileges."


    Lin Yuan carefully read the email sent from the Central Star Domain.


    Every time a Lin Yuan citizen''s rank advanced, he would receive blessings and introductions from the Central Star Domain.


    Compared to sixth-level citizens, the additional privileges gained by seventh-level citizens were not many, but each one was significant.


    Firstly, every seventh-level citizen would receive a seventh-rank evolution potion and a seventh-rank longevity potion gifted by the Central Star Domain.


    The function of the seventh-rank evolution potion was simr to that of the sixth-rank evolution potion; after consumption, it could elevate one''s physical body and soul to the seventh rank without any side effects.


    Of course, this elevation was only at a basic level, as the abilities and insights gained by seventh-rank evolvers were not included.The reason the Central Star Domain provided these potions was to consider that many seventh-level citizens might not have high evolutionary talents.


    Throughout their lives, they might not be able to cultivate to the fifth or sixth rank.


    The evolution potion served topensate for this deficiency.


    Although there was no insight into the rules, elevating to the seventh rank would at least extend one''s lifespan to over a hundred thousand years.


    Coupled with the seventh-rank longevity potion, every seventh-level citizen, even with poor evolutionary talents, could live for two to three hundred thousand years.


    Human civilization valued every seventh-level citizen, hoping they would live longer.


    It could also be considered as a reward for their contributions to human civilization, and perhaps, the longer they lived as seventh-level citizens, the more they could contribute to human civilization?


    "A seventh-rank evolution potion."


    Lin Yuan sighed softly. Such a potion that could elevate someone to the seventh rank without any drawbacks was something many powerful forces and families desired.


    Not for themselves.


    But for their loved ones or cherished descendants.


    Unfortunately, so far, only the official human civilization could reliably provide such evolution potions.


    As for other forces? The potions they provided to enhance one''s strength mostly had some hidden dangers or risks.


    "Automatically be a ''councilor'' of the Star Alliance?"


    Lin Yuan looked towards the second privilege of seventh-level citizens.


    The Star Alliance was covering hundreds of surrounding star domains, including the Red Kun Star Domain.


    Although the Star Alliance did not have absolutemand over the Red Kun Star Lord, it had a rtive degree of authority over its jurisdiction.


    To be a ''councilor'' of the Star Alliance was an achievement only for absolute figures, beings of the level of the Red Kun Star Lord, or the Golden Dragon Star Lord.


    The star lords of ordinary star domains couldn''t even gather two million merit points to elevate themselves to seventh-level citizen level.


    Currently, there were fifty-six councilors in the Star Alliance, thirty-one of whom concealed their identities, while the other twenty-five were renowned figures in many star domains.


    "Councilors of the alliance have the power of veto, which means they can veto any debate they find problematic, and wait for the next alliance assembly to reconvene."


    "This veto power can be used up to three times on the same matter. After three times, it cannot be used anymore."


    Lin Yuan nced over the power of the alliance councilors.


    This was mainly to prevent any councilor from causing trouble, but even so, it was quite extraordinary.


    Of course, the reason why the Three Goddesses allowed the councilors of the alliance to have such power was because debates that urred at alliance assemblies had little impact on the overall human civilization.


    Or they didn''t involve any bottom lines or red lines rted to human civilization.


    Regardless of who won or lost, the oue was almost the same.


    Apart from the aforementioned privileges, seventh-level citizens also had the right to reside permanently in the Central Star Domain, apply for the power tomand a guard team with eighth-rank evolvers, the right to defend in the highest court, and so on.


    Lin Yuan carefully browsed through them several times. With the status of a seventh-level citizen, if Lin Yuan were to apply for a position from the Goddess of Wisdom, he would at least be a governor on a main star in the Central Star Domain, with a high position and great authority.


    Being a governor on a main star in the Central Star Domain was much higher in status than being a governor on the Cann Star, and the two were simply not on the same level.


    Even some eighth-rank evolvers were extremely eager to serve as governors on the main stars of the Central Star Domain. This was not only a matter of status but also a stable channel for acquiring merit points.


    "Unfortunately, I''m not interested in management."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    The position of governor required a great deal of time devoted toary management. Generally, only eighth-rank evolvers who had reached a bottleneck would be interested.


    But Lin Yuan was currently in his golden age of cultivation. As long as he opened the eighth-level chapter of the martial path of evolution, it would be much better than taking any position as a governor.


    "Respected seventh-level citizen Lin Yuan, do you wish to conceal your seventh-level citizen identity?"


    The solemn and cold voice of the Goddess of Wisdom came through.


    After bing a seventh-level citizen, Lin Yuan''s information would automatically appear on the list of councilors of the Star Alliance.


    To protect the privacy of citizens, every seventh-level citizen could choose whether to conceal their identity.


    Currently, among the fifty-six councilors of the Star Alliance, thirty-one had concealed their identities.


    "Conceal."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    After concealing his citizen identity, the information disyed on the list of councilors would be the coded information Lin Yuan had set in advance.


    It was ''Thirteen.''


    Choosing the code ''Thirteen'' was just a random decision by Lin Yuan. As for whether it would reveal his true identity, he had no such worries at all.


    The Star Alliance epassed hundreds of star domains and over tens of millions of life-bearings. There were countless things rted to ''Thirteen.''


    Even the most top-notch diviners, without a ''god''s-eye view,'' would not associate ''Thirteen'' with Lin Yuan.


    The two were simply not in the same league. One was a genius evolver, and the other was the founder of the path of evolution, specializing inpletely different fields.


    The official website of the Star Alliance.


    A new name quietly appeared as the fifty-seventh councilor on the list.


    "Thirteen."


    This change immediately drew the attention of numerous evolvers and high-ranking citizens.


    "What? The Star Alliance has gained another councilor?"


    "An unidentified seventh-level citizen from some star domain."


    "Of course it''s from our star domain."


    "Can your star domain even produce seventh-level citizens?"


    Many evolvers discussed with curiosity.


    Under the long history of the Star Alliance, only fifty-six councilors had been umted, so the sudden addition naturally aroused much curiosity.


    However, most evolvers merely spected for a while.


    After all, councilors were too distant from them, figures towering over dozens of star domains, far beyond their reach.


    "Thirteen."


    Shi Feng, with a red nose, had just taken a sip of wine when he received a link from a friend. After clicking on it, he almost spat out the wine in his mouth.


    "Oh my, could this be a coincidence?"


    Shi Feng couldn''t believe it. Didn''t he have a friend named Thirteen?


    "No way."


    Shi Feng hurriedly contacted Lin Yuan.


    In his personal space, Lin Yuan sat leisurely in a chair, listening to the sound of the nearby stream.


    "Thirteen, I saw an additional name on the councilor list just now." Shi Feng asked nervously.


    This matter was too incredible. Although it was highly probable that it was a case of having the same name, confirmation was still needed.


    "Yeah, it should be me."


    Lin Yuan said casually. Once bing a councilor of the Star Alliance, there was no need to conceal one''s virtual identity as long as it wasn''t the true identity. After all, there were many benefits that the Star Alliance would actively provide. (People doesn''t know that the online citizen "Thirteen" is Lin Yuan, not even Shi Feng, so he can casually say that he is a councilor using the online name)


    Unless Lin Yuan intended to give up these benefits, he would ultimately have to interact with the outside world under the identity of "Thirteen."


    "Is it really you, Lord Thirteen Thirteen?"


    Shi Feng was dumbfounded. Even though he had already had such a guess beforeing, he still found it incredible.


    He, Shi Feng, had actually treated a high-ranking councilor as an equal?


    "Let''s talk about it."


    Lin Yuan waved his hand.


    "Yes." However, Shi Feng didn''t rx at all.


    If Lin Yuan were only a sixth-level citizen, he would dare to speak andugh freely. But as a seventh-level citizen, it was apletely different social stratum.


    Ny-nine point nine nine percent of sixth-level citizens would never be seventh-level citizens in their lifetimes.


    This included those eighth-rank evolvers.


    "Lord Thirteen." Shi Feng was about to speak when suddenly his expression changed. After a few breaths, he paused for a moment and said cautiously:


    "Someone from the Moonwatch Star Domain found me, asking if Lord Thirteen, is the same as the newly added councilor."


    The official website of the Star Alliance was open to all citizens, and changes in councilors were definitely major events for the upper echelons of the star domains, which would affect the futureyout of the alliance.


    Naturally, people from the Moonwatch Star Domain were always paying attention, especially when a new councilor appeared with the same name as Lin Yuan''s code, they immediately came to find Shi Feng for confirmation.


    "Tell them."


    Lin Yuan said casually.


    "Yes."


    Shi Feng respectfully responded.


    "Lord Thirteen, someone from the Moonwatch Star Domain wants to see you," Shi Feng tentatively said.


    "Let them in."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    After a moment, a middle-aged man with a cold demeanor walked in.


    It was the Star Lord of the Moonwatch Star Domain.


    The Moonwatch Star Domain was not a very powerful star domain, and its Star Lord was just an ordinary eighth-rank evolver.


    "Lord Thirteen."


    The Star Lord of the Moonwatch Star Domain showed a slightly respectful attitude.


    Regardless of Lin Yuan''s strength, since he could be a seventh-level citizen, his status could bepared to those peak eighth-rank evolvers, so calling him "Lord" posed no problem.


    "What''s the matter?"


    Lin Yuan looked towards the Star Lord of the Moonwatch Star Domain.


    "Previously, my Moonwatch Star Domain cooperated with you, Lord, as long as you voted for my Moonwatch Star Domain, you would receive rewards. Now it seems that my Moonwatch Star Domain has been negligent, and the rewards given were too little."


    The Star Lord of the Moonwatch Star Domain immediately said.


    "Oh?"


    "Too little?"


    Lin Yuan smiled mockingly.


    The Star Lord of the Moonwatch Star Domain was more aware of the situation. The conditions he had given were aimed at Lin Yuan when he was a sixth-level citizen.


    Now that Lin Yuan was a seventh-level citizen, if the Moonwatch Star Domain pretended to be ignorant, Lin Yuan would only vote one time, and he wouldn''t do anything else.


    Councilors also had the right to vote, andpared to sixth-level citizens, councilors had ten votes.


    "Yes."


    "Compared to Lord Thirteen''s identity, it is indeed too little."


    The Star Lord of the Moonwatch Star Domain said, "Lord Thirteen should know about the conflict between my Moonwatch Star Domain and the Golden Dragon Star Domain."


    "I know a bit." Lin Yuan nodded.


    The issue between the Moonwatch Star Domain and the Golden Dragon Star Domain stemmed from a resource. The border area between the Moonwatch and Golden Dragon domains was a ce where only many dead stars drifted.


    What are dead stars? They are neither suitable for human habitation nor do they contain any resources. Stars devoid of value are called dead stars. In the vast expanse of the universe, dead stars are the mostmon.


    Whether dead or living, stars are not stationary but slowly shift position due to the gravitational forces of the cosmos. Among them, there was a dead star that drifted from the border area between the Golden Dragon and Moonwatch domains into the Moonwatch domain.


    Afterward, people from the Moonwatch domain investigated and astonishingly discovered that this dead star contained precious resources. The value of fully exploiting it was equivalent to at least ten thousand universal crystals.


    This attracted the attention of the Golden Dragon domain. Evolvers from the Golden Dragon lineage argued that since this dead star was once located in the border area between the two domains, it should be jointly managed, with the Golden Dragon domain receiving eighty percent of the stuff.


    Naturally, the Moonwatch domain disagreed, asserting that since the dead star had drifted into their domain, it naturally belonged to them. Thus, the two parties began to dispute.


    "The Star Lord of the Golden Dragon domain, taking advantage of his widework, has proactively brought this matter to the Alliance Assembly. My Moonwatch domain can only keep inviting other sixth-level citizens," the Star Lord of the Moonwatch domain said softly.


    "My Moonwatch domain is willing to pay two thousand universal crystals to invite Lord Thirteen to veto this matter and dy it as much as possible," the Star Lord stated his purpose.


    The reason for the dy was that the resources on the resource star could be collected. The longer it was dragged out, the more resources the evolvers of the Moonwatch domain could gather. As long as they dyed past this Alliance Assembly, the Moonwatch domain was confident of collecting seventy percent of the resources before the next assembly arrived.


    "Two thousand universal crystals," Lin Yuan remained unchanged. This reward was already eptable; the legacy left by the eighth-rank evolver Ouyin contained only one thousand universal crystals.


    "If Lord Thirteen feels it''s too low, then three thousand universal crystals," the Star Lord of the Moonwatch domain gritted his teeth.


    Even if they sessfully collected seventy percent of the resources, it would probably only be worth seven thousand universal crystals. Considering various costs, the Moonwatch domain would at most receive six thousand universal crystals. Giving Lin Yuan three thousand universal crystals was already quite sincere.


    "No problem," Lin Yuan nodded.


    "Thank you, Lord Thirteen," the Star Lord of the Moonwatch domain breathed a sigh of relief.


    The Star Alliance had a total of fifty-six councilors. Excluding those who were not often seen, there were only about a dozen who regrly participated in the Alliance Assembly.


    Among these, the Star Lord of the Moonwatch domain couldn''t invite a single one, either because they were unwilling to offend the Star Lord of the Golden Dragon domain or for other reasons.


    Golden Dragon Star Domain.


    Main Star of the Golden Dragon.


    The Star Lord of the Golden Dragon sat on the golden throne, his consciousness connected to the virtual world.


    "Hmm?"


    "The Star Alliance has gained an additional councilor? Codenamed ''Thirteen''?"


    "This Thirteen, why does it sound so familiar?"


    The presence of the Golden Dragon Star Lord was extraordinary. Upon a closer thought, he confirmed that ''Thirteen'' was the same as the mysterious sixth-level citizen who had offended him, as Jin Tianzhao had confessed to him.


    "A coincidence?"


    The Golden Dragon Star Lord pondered for a moment and immediately began to inquire.


    "Not a coincidence, this new councilor is indeed the same as that ''Thirteen''."


    The Golden Dragon Star Lord immediately felt trouble. If Lin Yuan were only a sixth-level citizen, he could dismiss him, but how many seventh-level citizens were there in the entire Star Alliance?


    When the Golden Dragon Star Lord ignored Lin Yuan initially, he thought that even if Lin Yuan had the potential to be a seventh-level citizen, it would take many years. Who knew it would happen so quickly?


    "Jin Tianzhao always causes trouble for me. With just one offense, he has offended a seventh-level citizen?"


    The Golden Dragon Star Lord frowned and immediately summoned Jin Tianzhao.


    "My teacher called me?"


    Jin Tianzhao, who had just emerged from seclusion, received the summons from the Golden Dragon Star Lord.


    "What''s the matter exactly?"


    "My teacher''s tone doesn''t sound good?"


    Jin Tianzhao was somewhat nervous as he entered the hall where the Golden Dragon Star Lord was located.


    "Jin Tianzhao."


    The Golden Dragon Star Lord looked down at Jin Tianzhao.


    "What exactly have you done?"

    ...


    "Teacher, I..."


    Jin Tianzhao connected to the virtualwork and immediately learned the reason for Golden Dragon Star Lord''s dissatisfaction.


    "You mean to tell me that the six-level citizen I offended has actually been promoted to a seven-level citizen and be the fifty-seventh member of our Star Alliance''s council?"


    Jin Tianzhao widened his eyes in disbelief. While he had been wary of the possibility of Lin Yuan advancing to a seven-level citizen in the future, he hadn''t expected it to happen so soon.


    That''s a seven-level citizen we''re talking about, not some run-of-the-mill pedestrian! How did he manage to umte the two million merit points needed for promotion?


    "That Shi Feng misled me! He imed that ''Thirteen'' couldn''t be more than a thousand years old. It''s all lies!" Jin Tianzhao was deeply resentful. Though he had a proud personality, he couldn''t simply antagonize a seasoned six-level citizen.


    Seasoned six-level citizens not only had stable social circles but, more importantly, you never knew how much experience and merit points they had umted.At the time, Jin Tianzhao had found Lin Yuan unfamiliar and had assumed that he had just recently reached the six-level. He didn''t seem to have much depth.


    That''s why his attitude had been slightly more aggressive. After all, a newly promoted six-level citizen wasn''t much in front of the Golden Dragon Star Domain.


    When he reported to Golden Dragon Star Lord, thetter hadn''t paid much attention either. Who would have thought that this ''Thirteen'' would turn out to be so low-key?


    He was probably only a hair''s breadth away from umting the two million merit points needed when he was threatened by Jin Tianzhao at the time.


    But he hadn''t said anything.


    "Teacher, what should we do now?"


    Jin Tianzhao asked hastily after a moment of silence. Pursuing ountability at this point was meaningless. What mattered was how to mend the rtionship with that council member.


    While Golden Dragon Star Lord was also a seven-level citizen, he wasn''t foolish. He naturally didn''t want to create unnecessary enemies on the same level.


    "How much is that resource dead star worth?"


    Golden Dragon Star Lord inquired. He was aware of the dispute between Moonwatch Star Domain and them and tacitly agreed. After all, Moonwatch Star Domain''s strength, from any perspective, was far inferior to Golden Dragon Star Domain''s.


    "Teacher, if the resource dead star is fully exploited, it will probably yield valuable resources equivalent to eleven thousand universal crystals," Jin Tianzhao immediately replied.


    "Give up the eleven thousand universal crystals directly and give them to Moonwatch Star Domain"


    Golden Dragon Star Lord said directly after some thought. For the sake of a mere eleven thousand universal crystals, it wasn''t worth antagonizing a seven-level citizen.


    And whether Golden Dragon Star Domain could eventually take over this resource dead star was another matter altogether.


    As long as Lin Yuan used the council member''s veto power, the matter could be dragged on, giving Moonwatch Star Domain ample time for extensive mining. Ultimately, Golden Dragon Star Domain''s profit would plummet.


    In that case, it was better to give up proactively. It also showed goodwill towards that seven-level citizen.


    "Give up. Okay" Jin Tianzhao said somewhat reluctantly.


    Originally, ording to the n, Golden Dragon Star Domain would have received at least seventy percent of the revenue from that resource dead star, which would have been seven to eight thousand universal crystals.


    Golden Dragon Star Lord might not care much about these universal crystals, but his disciples were quite envious.


    "Also, prepare a gift and send it to that council member. The value of the gift should be around a thousand universal crystals."


    "Remember, you will deliver the gift yourself, don''t say too much, and don''t do too much. Once the gift is delivered,e back" Golden Dragon Star Lord instructed.


    "Do I need to apologize?" Jin Tianzhao asked cautiously.


    "Just delivering the gift will do. Being too deliberate with an apology wouldn''t be good," Golden Dragon Star Lord shook his head.


    "Yes," Jin Tianzhao immediately responded.


    Red Kun Main Star.


    Inside the Thirteenth Peak Hall.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    "Spiritual Will Index."


    Lin Yuan carefully read the document sent by his teacher, the Red Kun Star Lord.


    The spiritual will of life is not necessarily rted to one''s own strength. Of course, the stronger the strength, the corresponding spiritual will also increases.


    However, if the strength is not strong, the spiritual will may not necessarily be low. The spiritual will is rted to one''s own life experiences and insights.


    Over the more than two million years in the starry sky, the researchers of human civilization in various universities of evolution, ording to the specific cases of many seven and eight-rank evolvers over the generations, have divided the spiritual will into a range from one to ten thousand, namely the spiritual will index.


    Only when the spiritual will index reaches ten thousand can there be a chance of crossing the ''Heart Demon Tribtion.''


    Of course, it doesn''t mean that if the spiritual will index is less than ten thousand, one cannot pass the ''Heart Demon Tribtion.'' However, such cases are rare, and cannot be consideredmon.


    "Spiritual Will Index."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Normally, for a newly advanced seventh-rank evolver, the spiritual will index would be one.


    With continued cultivation and more experiences, the spiritual will index would gradually increase. Before deliberately training one''s own spiritual will index, even a seventh-rank king-rank evolver''s spiritual will index would at most be in the hundreds.


    "Let''s see what my spiritual will index is." Lin Yuan connected to the virtual world.


    Since the concept of the spiritual will index was created, there naturally existed methods to measure it. Lin Yuan went to his personal space and directly applied to the Wisdom Goddess for a measurement of his own spiritual will index.


    In a moment, Lin Yuan found himself in a spacious white room. All around was a vast expanse of white.


    "Respected seventh-level citizen Lin Yuan, without using any physical or soul power, just rely on your own spiritual consciousness to impact the surroundings," came the solemn and cold voice of the Wisdom Goddess.


    "Only using your own spiritual consciousness to impact the surroundings," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Spiritual consciousness was also a form of attack. For example, if Lin Yuan stared at a sixth-rank evolver for a long time, even without activating any power, the other party would feel cold sweat and scalp tingling, unable to move.


    This was the benefit of having a strong spiritual will.


    "Begin." Lin Yuan closed his eyes.


    His immense spiritual will began to surge in all directions. Invisible fluctuations swept out, enough to make any other fifth or sixth-rank evolver present kneel in fear.


    After a moment, Lin Yuan stopped releasing his spiritual consciousness.


    "What is my spiritual will index?" Lin Yuan opened his eyes and checked the results.


    "Respected seventh-level citizen Lin Yuan, after testing, your current spiritual will index is approximately 7848."


    "7848." Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    Normally, a seventh-rank king-rank evolver without specialized training for spiritual will would have a spiritual will index of only a few hundred. But Lin Yuan was clearly not a normal seventh-rank king-rank evolver.


    Whether it was the vast internal world he had created, the derived power of the world, or the baptism of more than a thousand years experienced through six crossings between worlds, all of this had greatly enhanced Lin Yuan''s spiritual will.


    "Approaching a spiritual will index of ten thousand isn''t too far away." Lin Yuan felt good. Having the exact number of his spiritual will index allowed Lin Yuan to breathe a sigh of relief. At least he had a goal to strive for.


    In the virtual world, back in his personal space, after testing his own spiritual will index, Lin Yuan pondered how to train his spiritual will index.


    The Human Civilization Alliance did have many methods for training spiritual consciousness, but they all required a lot of time and essentially relied on living long enough to improve spiritual will.


    At this moment, Red-Nosed Shi Feng applied to enter. Lin Yuan chose to agree, and Shi Feng''s figure appeared not far away, respectfully saying to Lin Yuan, "Thirteen, my lord."


    "Hmm," Lin Yuan nced at Red-Nosed Shi Feng casually and said.


    "This is a congrattory gift for Thirteen, my lord, bing a seventh-level citizen," Red-Nosed Shi Feng said immediately.


    "There''s no need for such formality between us" Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    Since the alias appeared on the list of council members of the Star Alliance, Lin Yuan had received over ten thousand congrattory gifts, mostly from various star domain forces of the Star Alliance.


    There were also some seventh and eighth-rank evolvers. Generally, the value of a single congrattory gift was around a hundred million universal coins. For a star domain-level force, they would give a congrattory gift worth around a billion universal coins.


    Just these congrattory gifts alone had multiplied Lin Yuan''s wealth several times over. A hundred million universal coins was roughly equivalent to one universal crystal. All the congrattory gifts added together exceeded ten thousand universal crystals.


    Lin Yuan had previously been overjoyed to receive one thousand universal crystals from the estate left by the eighth-rank evolver Ouyin. In the blink of an eye, just the value of the received congrattory gifts alone was over ten thousand universal crystals.


    "This is the status of a seventh-level citizen."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. Seventh-level citizens, although they don''t have specific authority, hold high status. They enjoy significant privileges in certain important meetings.


    The Star Alliance epasses hundreds of star domains, and currently, there are only fifty-six living seventh-level citizen councilors, including Lin Yuan, who makes the fifty-seventh.


    Every birth of a councilor is a major event in the entire Star Alliance. If Lin Yuan hadn''t hidden his identity and only disyed a code, he would probably have received even more congrattory gifts.


    "My teacher also sent me a congrattory gift," Lin Yuan seemed to recall something, his eyes showing a hint of amusement.


    Not long ago, the Red Kun Star Domain also sent him a congrattory gift worth ten universal crystals.


    The Red Kun Star Lord is also a councilor of the Star Alliance, but the Red Kun Star Lord generally doesn''t bother to attend the Star Alliance meetings. At his level, breaking through to the ninth rank is the most important concern.


    "With this promotion to seventh-level citizen, aside from the benefits officially bestowed by human civilization, the total value of the gifts from others amounts to nearly twenty thousand universal crystals," Lin Yuan calcted.


    Among these, the gift from the Moonwatch Star Domain was thergest. In addition to the original reward of three thousand universal crystals, upon learning that the Golden Dragon Star Domain voluntarily relinquished the resource dead star, the Moonwatch Star Lord sent another two thousand universal crystals as a congrattory gift.


    Taking into ount the previous investments made to attract Lin Yuan''s vote, the Moonwatch Star Domain has undoubtedly spent a fortune.


    And then there''s the Golden Dragon Star Domain, perhaps as a gesture of submission, which voluntarily sent a congrattory gift worth a thousand universal crystals.


    Altogether, the total value of all the gifts amounted to neen thousand eight hundred sixty-two universal crystals.


    "The rate at which higher-level citizens umte wealth is too exaggerated," Lin Yuan couldn''t help but feel a slight sigh.


    It''s worth noting that all the universal crystals in the estate of the eighth-rank evolver Ouyin amounted to only a thousand. This clearly indicated the normal amount of ''liquid universal crystals'' an eighth-rank evolver would have.


    Of course, Ouyin was an eighth-rank evolver from many years ago. Nowadays, the eighth-rank evolvers of the Human Civilization Alliance are much wealthier, but the amount of universal crystals that an ordinary eighth-rank evolver can freely use definitely does not exceed five thousand.


    Now, Lin Yuan has tens of thousands of universal crystals in his possession, including those he had umted previously, which can be considered quite wealthy even among eighth-rank evolvers.


    "With these universal crystals, I can buy some universal treasures to supplement my internal world," Lin Yuan thought silently.


    The internal world of an eighth-rank evolver, at first, is just a world shell that needs continuous improvement in ruleprehension, material treasures, and so on.


    For example, a universal treasure called ''Quicksand Water'' can be ced into the internal world to provide nourishment from the source of water to the operation of the internal world.


    Deep within the Hall of Thirteenth Peak, Lin Yuan was just about to sense the changes in his internal world when he noticed that his senior brothers were returning to the Red Kun Main Star.


    "Have the senior brothers returned?" Lin Yuan immediately got up, intending to visit his senior brothers.


    Not long ago, the insect race, in order to attract the attention of human civilization,unched a series of activities targeting human evolvers on multiple alien battlefields. Many sixth, seventh, and even eighth-rank evolvers died in those cleanups.


    Afterwards, when the Human Civilization Alliance reacted, they immediately mobilized many evolvers from various star domains to start settling ounts with the alien races on the battlefields.


    The senior brothers, along with their respective armies of evolvers, went to the alien battlefields.


    "Is the cleanup over?" Lin Yuan spected, and soon met up with his senior brothers.


    "Junior brother."


    "Junior brother, you''re here."


    Seeing Lin Yuan, the twelve senior brothers all smiled.


    "Junior brother."


    The eldest senior brother looked at Lin Yuan and greeted him.


    "Elder brother, you?" Lin Yuan carefully observed the eldest senior brother, his expression changing slightly.


    With his keen perception, he faintly sensed that there was a cold aura emanating from the eldest senior brother, as if he had suffered some injury.


    "It''s worthy of our Junior brother."


    "So quick to notice,"


    "This time, on the alien battlefield, the eldest senior brother almost provoked an eighth-rank alien to make a move. Although nothing happened in the end, there were still some consequences."


    "That eighth-rank alien specializes in soul attacks. Fortunately, the eldest senior brother has a soul defense treasure to protect himself, or it could have been disastrous."


    The other senior brothers exined sessively.


    "Soul attack?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression changed slightly.


    Soul attacks are mysterious and unpredictable. Even the eighth-rank evolver Ouyin fell victim to soul attacks.


    Even Lin Yuan, who was vignt about soul defenses, took them very seriously. Within the foundation of his refined Primordial Essence Gold, there was even included a defense against soul attacks.


    "No worries, the teacher has already checked, and there''s nothing wrong. I''ll recover in a while," the eldest senior brother waved his hand and said.


    ...


    Is he really okay?.-.

    ...


    "Facing the murderous intent of the eighth-rank alien this time, I''ve reflected on many things," the eldest senior brother sat down, chatting casually with his fellow junior brothers.


    "What have you reflected on?" the second senior brother couldn''t help but ask.


    "My spiritual willpower index is not high enough," the eldest senior brother said solemnly, "If my spiritual willpower index reaches nine thousand, with the protection of soul defense treasures, even if I''m injured, it wouldn''t be as severe."


    The third senior brother nodded, "The stronger the spiritual will, the stronger the resistance to soul attacks."


    If the power of the soul is likened to the soldiers, then the spiritual will is the general, capable ofmanding arge amount of soul power for defense.


    "I can feel that after experiencing this life-threatening crisis, my spiritual consciousness will undergo a period of growth, and I have hope of breaking through to the eighth rank," the eldest senior brother''s face lit up with a smile, which was also why the Red Kun Lord didn''tpletely eliminate the dark aura from him.


    The eldest senior brother wanted to better perceive that dark aura, stimting his spiritual will."Experiencing a life-threatening crisis can indeed bring about a transformation of the spiritual will," Lin Yuan nodded.


    Throughout the long history of the starry sea, those evolutionary schrs have already researched spiritual will quite thoroughly.


    To increase spiritual will, it requires a lot of time to experience.


    And what do you need to experience? Among them is the threat of life and death.


    Under the threat of death, life often bursts forth with tremendous potential, which can lead to deeper feelings, naturally affecting the spiritual will.


    "This method isn''t suitable for me," Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    With the world within his body slowly gestating, even if Lin Yuany still, his spiritual will would slowly grow, reaching a spiritual will index of ten thousand was only a matter of time.


    Experience a life-threatening crisis? If you die, you''re really dead.


    Although with Lin Yuan''s current exhibited talent, even if he really died, he would be ''resurrected'' after a long time.


    But it''s still better not to die if you can help it. Lin Yuan was also unsure what changes would ur to the Gate of the Myriad Realms deep in his mind after his death.


    "Alright."


    "I''m going into seclusion."


    The eldest senior brother stood up, full of spirit. This experience had given him great confidence in breaking through to the eighth rank.


    He returned to the Grand Hall of the Thirteen Peaks.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    "The settlement of human civilization on the battlefield of the foreign races is indeed almost over." Lin Yuan chatted with several senior brothers for over an hour, roughly understanding the situation on the battlefield.


    "Let me see."


    Lin Yuan connected his consciousness to the virtual world and began to search for relevant videos.


    With the authority of a seventh-level citizen, Lin Yuan quickly found the situation on the battlefield of the foreign races.


    "The ck Abyss n."


    Lin Yuan opened a video rted to the settlement of the ck Abyss n.


    As arge-scale secret realm in the cosmic mystery, the ck Abyss Secret Realm has a diameter of about ten light-years and appears as a ck hole in appearance.


    However, in the video, human evolvers descended, and fortressesparable to stars spanned the sky.


    "The ck Abyss n, damn it!" At this moment, a human evolver appeared, standing in the void. His figure faintly merged with the universe, and between the faint, he exuded an extremely terrifying aura.


    Rumble.


    This human evolver raised his right hand and pressed it towards the distant ck Abyss Secret Realm.


    Only to see space suddenly shatter, the ck Abyss Secret Realm with a diameter of ten light-years began to disintegrate from the peripheral area.


    "Who on earth is it?"


    "Who dares to undermine the foundation of my ck Abyss n?"


    Angry roars came from the ck Abyss Secret Realm, and five or six towering figures emerged.


    Their aura was simr to that of the human evolver, faintly merging with the universe, but the aura they emitted was far inferior to thetter.


    "Nn Vice Tower Master."


    "Nn Vice Tower Master, with your esteemed status, why bother to personally take action against my ck Abyss n?"


    The five or six towering figures that emerged from the ck Abyss Secret Realm desperately resisted the hand pressed down by the human evolver.


    Nn Vice Tower Master did not answer, still slowly turning the periphery of the ck Abyss Secret Realm into dust.


    During this period, the five or six towering figures tried their best to resist, but to no avail.


    Over ten minutester.


    A space was torn open in the distance.


    A nest-like structure the size of a appeared.


    "Hmph."


    Nn Vice Tower Master retracted his right hand, nced at the already one-tenth shattered ck Abyss Secret Realm, and turned and left.


    The video ended here.


    Lin Yuan watched, feeling inexplicably shocked.


    "A ninth-rank evolver, that Nn Vice Tower Master is at least a ninth-rank evolver."


    Lin Yuan was very sure.


    Not only a ninth-rank evolver, but also an extremely powerful existence among ninth-rank evolvers, capable of suppressing the five or six ninth ranks of the ck Abyss n who dared not resist with just their own strength.


    "Vice Tower Master?"


    Lin Yuan keenly caught this title.


    Currently, human civilization has nine supreme beings, these nine supreme beings sit atop nine Evolutionary Towers, illuminating the universe for eternity.


    Therefore, the nine supreme beings are also called the nine Tower Masters.


    "Directly wiping out a tenth of the ck Abyss Secret Realm, that''s an area of one light-year square, I wonder how many creatures of the ck Abyss n perished directly."


    Lin Yuan nced at the somewhat broken ck Abyss Secret Realm at the end of the video.


    Even if it wasn''t for that insect race expert''s arrival, it probably wouldn''t have been as simple as a tenth of the area being crushed.


    After watching the video, Lin Yuan disconnected his consciousness from the virtual world, sat cross-legged, and fell into silence.


    "I am very fortunate to live in the absolute peak period of human civilization."


    Lin Yuan thought silently to himself.


    In the vast expanse of space, only strength, only sufficient power, can protect everything.


    If human civilization were simr to the ck Abyss civilization, targeted by the insect race, they would only be able to swallow their grievances.


    "The Way of Martial Evolution."


    After pondering for a while, Lin Yuan opened the Way of Martial Evolution and checked the number of evolvers at each stage.


    "First rank: Two hundred and sixty-three thousand, eight hundred and ny-seven."


    "Second rank: One hundred and twenty-five thousand, six hundred."


    "Third rank: Two thousand, four hundred and twenty-one."


    "Fourth rank: Three hundred and seven."


    "It increased so much?"


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face. Just the number of first-rank evolvers alone exceeded two hundred and sixty thousand, so the number of evolvers who hadn''t reached a rank was estimated to exceed a million.


    Lin Yuan was already quite satisfied with this.


    It''s worth noting that from the appearance of the Way of Martial Evolution to the present, it had only been a few years, and it was already incredible to attract so many evolvers to practice.


    "It should be those exnation videos of cultivation released earlier that yed a significant role."


    Lin Yuan thought silently to himself.


    In addition to the Way of Martial Evolution, breaking into the Red Kun Evolutionary Ranking and gaining a huge amount of exposure, the exnatory videos of cultivation should also be credited.


    It could lower the threshold of martial cultivation.


    "The exnatory videos for the subsequent Third rank and Fourth rank should not stop, I should make them whenever there''s time."


    Lin Yuan made up his mind.


    Then he looked at the ie split of the Way of Martial Evolution.


    "Two thousand two hundred and seventy-five trillion?"


    Lin Yuan was surprised, there were still many zeroes after this number.


    "Most of this iees from the sale of the Seventh rank."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself, he priced the Seventh rank at fifty billion.


    After the Way of Martial Evolution uploaded the Seventh rank, it immediately jumped to second ce in the Red Kun Evolutionary Ranking, suppressing two Eighth rank evolutionary paths below.


    Who knows how many evolvers were curious about the Seventh rank of martial cultivation. Even if they didn''t practice it, there was no problem in buying it to watch.


    This was still not a long time, and not many other star alliances knew the number of evolvers on the Way of Martial Evolution.


    As time passed, the reputation of the Way of Martial Evolution spread more and more widely, and Lin Yuan''s ie split would once again enter a stage of rapid growth.


    "Two thousand two hundred and seventy-five trillion converted into Universal Coins is 227.5 billion. That is two thousand two hundred and seventy-five Universal Crystals."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    The upload of the Seventh rank made the Way of Martial Evolution into a golden goose thatid golden eggs. Regardless of the split of any issue, there was an ie of thousands of Universal Crystals. This was already equivalent to the total ''flowing Universal Crystals'' of an ordinary Eighth rank evolver.


    In the future, if Lin Yuan could create the Eighth rank of the Way of Martial Evolution, even if he possessed all this wealth, it would probably make Ninth rank evolvers jealous.


    "I can now buy several rare treasures to perfect the world inside my body." Lin Yuan thought silently to himself.


    After all, the world inside the body was not a naturally evolved world. Although it had a framework and almost unlimited growth potential, it still required continuous investment from the evolver in the early stages.


    This investment included investment in ruleprehension and investment in rare treasures to make up for the shorings of the world inside the body.


    "The Primal Fire can bring a bright me to the world inside the body, promote the birth of the Fire Source Rule. Bought."


    "The Essence of the Earth. Bought."


    Lin Yuan bought three or four kinds of rare treasures in one breath, spending more than ten thousand Universal Crystals before stopping.


    "Almost."


    Lin Yuan nced at the bnce of Universal Crystals in his ount and felt a little distressed.


    These rare treasures that could make up for the shorings of the world inside the body were extremely expensive. Even Lin Yuan carefully selected them.


    "The cultivation of an Eighth rank evolver is a process of constantly perfecting the world inside the body. The more perfect the rules inside the world, the higher the benefit to the Eighth rank evolver."


    "Teacher''s world inside the body probably doesn''t have much difference from the real world."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. Although the world inside his body was currently only the size of over a hundred thousand miles in radius, it was still bare.


    After doing all this.


    Lin Yuan nned to continue thinking about how to quickly improve his own spiritual will.


    Just then.


    Teacher Red Kun Lord sent a message.


    "Come to me immediately."


    Red Kun Lord''s tone was very serious.


    "Huh?"


    "Is something big happening?"


    Lin Yuan looked puzzled, but still immediately got up and headed towards the grand central continent of Red Kun Main Star.


    The crimson-colored Grand Hall.


    Red Kun Lord sat high above.


    Lin Yuan and the other peak masters stood below.


    "Teacher, what''s the matter?" the second senior brother asked curiously.


    "A big deal." Red Kun Lord nced at the second senior brother and looked at the other peak masters, "This is a great opportunity for you."


    When Red Kun Lord said this, his gaze stayed on Lin Yuan for a moment.


    "A great opportunity?"


    "What great opportunity?"


    "Teacher, please make it clearer."


    The senior brothers couldn''t help but ask.


    Seeing this, Red Kun Lord didn''t beat around the bush and said directly:


    "Some time ago, the supreme beings of my human civilization fought with the supreme beings of several other races on arge-scale battlefield of foreign races, and reimed a fragment of a body."


    Once these words were spoken, the peak masters immediately realized.


    Some time ago, a permanent spatial crack appeared on therge-scale battlefield of foreign races, and a corpse drifted over.


    The insect race, in order to n for this corpse, did not hesitate to cleanse human evolvers on local battlefields in order to attract the attention of the supreme beings of human civilization, but obviously, the n of the insect race failed, and the top divination masters of human civilization had already noticed that corpse.


    Even the supreme beings of several other peak races also noticed and blocked off therge-scale battlefield in advance.


    The moment that corpse drifted in, several supreme beings acted at the same time.


    In the end, that corpse was torn apart, and the supreme beings of human civilization and the supreme beings of other races each took a part of that corpse.


    "Teacher, are you saying that our great opportunity is rted to that fragment of the body?" the third senior brother asked incredulously.


    He had always thought that if the fragment of the body was worth the supreme beings'' efforts to fight for, it must be very important, and had nothing to do with evolvers like them who weren''t even at the eighth rank.


    Even Lin Yuan, slightly curious, wondered what kind of body could attract the attention of the supreme beings.


    "That''s right."


    Red Kun Lord nodded.


    "The supreme beings of my human civilization have decided to select some evolvers from each star domain and attempt toprehend that part of the body."


    Red Kun Lord spoke.


    "Comprehend that part of the body?"


    These words made the senior brothers'' pupils slightly shrink.


    Although they didn''t know what level the corpse that drifted into therge-scale battlefield of foreign races was.


    But being fought over by several supreme beings, it was probably also at the level of the supreme beings.


    The body of a supreme being? You know, whether it''s human evolvers or other powerful beings of different races, their flesh and blood contain the paths and directions they have taken.


    The body of a beingparable to a supreme being, that is the road to the supreme level.


    Even if theyprehend just a bit, it would be unprecedented help for them.


    Next.


    Red Kun Lord instructed some details and let the peak masters prepare.


    "Teacher."


    Lin Yuan stayed in ce.


    This was also the intention of Red Kun Lord.


    "That fragment of the body is not easy toprehend, I have no hope for your senior brothers, it''s just going through the motions."


    Red Kun Lord said bluntly.


    "But you." Red Kun Lord carefully looked at Lin Yuan.


    Lin Yuan''s talent was definitely the strongest he had ever seen, especially his understanding of spatial rules, it was simply unbelievable.


    But understanding. also has its focus.


    For example, a genius might be good at math and physics, but might not be as good as normal people in Chinese and geography.


    Red Kun Lord was certain that Lin Yuan''s understanding of spatial rules was incredibly high, but the power essence contained in that part of the body was not rted to space.


    "That part of the body is quite strange, if you sense anything wrong, do not force it." Red Kun Lord reminded specifically.


    Even without that part of the body, Lin Yuan could still grow to the eighth rank, and even have a chance to break through to the ninth rank.


    So in Red Kun Lord''s view, Lin Yuan had more choices.


    "I understand."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    Then he asked another question, "Teacher, is it by one''s own understanding toprehend that part of the body?"


    "Yes, it requires an understanding that matches that part of the body." Red Kun Lord emphasized.


    "Understood."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    Since it relied on understanding, then he had confidence in his heart.

 Chapter 220

    Help me buy a newputer :D /DavidLord


    ...


    As far as Lin Yuan knew, insight indeed had its emphasis.


    Even the most monstrous genius in the history of human civilization had their own shorings.


    Those evolver schrs were even more specialized in different fields, such as consciousness, certain types of rules, the essence of life, and so on.


    So, Red Kun Star Lord''s reminder was not unreasonable.


    That severed body came from outside the main world,pletely different from everything Lin Yuan had encountered so far.


    The innate talent and insight Lin Yuan currently disyed might not necessarily be effective on that severed body.


    But what Red Kun Star Lord didn''t know was...Lin Yuan''s Unrivaled Insight was omnipotent.


    This had already been thoroughly verified through six transmigrations.


    Six transmigrations, six worlds. These six worlds came from different dimensions, different realms. Especially thest world, Azure, even had the existence of extradimensional evil gods.


    But Lin Yuan''s Unrivaled Insight still didn''t cause the slightest hindrance or difort.


    "Master," Lin Yuan looked towards Red Kun Star Lord, "Why would the strongest ones release this severed body for us toprehend?"


    This was also a question in Lin Yuan''s mind.


    Even if they wanted to give opportunities to the younger generation, it didn''t have to be in such a semi-public manner, right?


    "I''ve only heard," Red Kun Star Lord pondered for a moment, "You should know, the strongest ones are ''unique''. They are the ultimate existence on an evolutionary path."


    "In theory, as long as this strongest one is alive, the evolutionary path he is on, or the road he stands on, cannot give birth to the next strongest one."


    Red Kun Star Lord said slowly.


    "I''ve heard of it," Lin Yuan nodded.


    The reason why the current Human Civilization Alliance leaned resources towards opening up new evolutionary paths was that the more evolutionary paths there were, the greater the hope of giving birth to the next strongest one.


    Of course, for the vast majority of human evolvers, there was no hope of bing the strongest one.


    Therefore, many evolvers cultivated the evolutionary paths that gave birth to the strongest ones among the nine.


    Since these nine paths could give birth to the strongest ones, it meant they were extremely perfect and powerful.


    Even if there was no possibility of bing the strongest one, they could still crush other evolvers at the same level.


    However, the official stance of Human Civilization, the Three Goddesses, and the Nine Strongest Ones, was still hoping that human evolvers would walk more evolutionary paths.


    "The strongest ones are difficult to die, almost immortal. They exist eternally."


    Red Kun Star Lord''s eyes lit up as he said this, "But now, one of the strongest ones has died."


    "He''s dead, so the ultimate position on his road has be ''vacant''."


    "Ah, I see," Lin Yuan realized.


    Through that severed body, it was possible toprehend the road that the strongest one had walked before.


    A road that had given birth to the strongest one had already proven to be sufficiently perfect and wless. As long as the conditions were met, such as the death of this strongest one, a second strongest one could be born.


    It was like a road to the heavens, leading to the level of the strongest one.


    Other evolutionary paths, even if they hadn''t given birth to the strongest ones, the evolvers walking on these paths didn''t know if they could take that step.


    Otherwise, the current Human Civilization would not only have nine strongest ones.


    You should know, the evolutionary paths that Human Civilization currently controlled were as numerous as the clouds.


    But now, the road that the owner of that severed body had walked had already been clearly proven to be capable of producing the strongest one.


    Who wouldn''t be tempted by this?


    The strongest ones of Human Civilization, by actively releasing that severed body for countless evolvers toprehend, hoped that some human evolvers could walk the road of the owner of the body and eventually be the new strongest one.


    "Originally, the Insect n nned to enjoy this body alone, so they could grasp another road to bing the strongest one."


    "But now, that body has been divided into several pieces. All the tribes that received a certain piece of the body have the hope of grasping this road to bing the strongest one."


    Red Kun Star Lord said slowly.


    This was also the reason why the officials of Human Civilization were so eager to release that severed body.


    Human evolvers couldprehend the body, and simrly, the strong ones of other tribes couldprehend it. This was equivalent to the several major tribes that obtained a piece of the body,peting for a quota to be the strongest one.


    "This opportunity, in the history of Human Civilization for over two million years, is rare."


    Red Kun Star Lord sighed. The nine strongest ones of Human Civilization, which one of them hadn''t undergone numerous attempts and adjustments on their evolutionary paths?


    Where was it like now, where as long as you couldprehend the path within the body, you could directly reach the level of the strongest one?


    Of course, to say it was direct was somewhat exaggerated, but at least it gave most evolvers hope of bing the strongest one.


    "Master, why don''t youprehend it?" Lin Yuan thought for a moment, then asked.


    "I''m at the pinnacle of Rank Eight, my path is already set. That severed body is useless to me. Even if Iprehend the path of the owner of the body, I can''tpete with other strong ones."


    Red Kun Star Lord shook his head slightly.


    "That severed body is very strange, and many of the paths it contains are wrong and have hidden dangers," Red Kun Star Lord said.


    Returning to the Thirteenth Peak Hall.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    "The path of the strongest one."


    Lin Yuan''s eyes were deep. In the universe of the main world, the strongest ones were the ceiling ofbat power. With nine strongest ones reigning over Human Civilization, they were the pride of the myriad races in the starry sky.


    "But... do the strongest ones also die?"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself, but this involved the secrets of the strongest one level. Even though Lin Yuan was the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage and a Level Seven Citizen, he couldn''t find specific information.


    "The location forprehending that severed body is in the virtual world? My Human Civilization''s nine strongest ones paid some price to replicate thirty percent of the essence of that severed body into the virtual world?"


    Lin Yuan received the message and silently pondered.


    This was also for the convenience of human evolvers toprehend. Otherwise, if you wanted toprehend that severed body, you would have to go to the Central Star Domain, which would take a long time.


    But the virtual world was much simpler.


    Just connect your consciousness and you could enter.


    Half a dayter.


    Lin Yuan suddenly received an invitation.


    "Would you like to enter the virtual world with ID number 124354?"


    "Enter," Lin Yuan immediately chose to agree.


    For the convenience of human evolvers toprehend that severed body, the virtual world specially opened up many worlds, dispersing all evolvers into different worlds.


    After all, there were too many people, and it was better to manage them separately.


    Each world had its own dedicated administrator to check the progress of each evolver''sprehension.


    Buzz.


    When Lin Yuan opened his eyes, he found himself at the top of a peak.


    Looking around, in all directions, there were peaks like this one, and each peak had ten or twenty evolvers at the top.


    "Most of them are Rank Seven evolvers, with a few Rank Six evolvers, and even Rank Eight evolvers?"


    Lin Yuan scanned the surroundings and took in all the auras.


    The first batch of human evolvers toprehend that severed body were basically geniuses of a star domain.


    Such as Lin Yuan, such as the twelve disciples of Red Kun Star Lord.


    And under the same circumstances of genius, they were further divided when entering differentprehension worlds.


    Geniuses like Lin Yuan, who were clearly Rank Seven below a hundred years old, were naturally ced together with other geniuses who were between a hundred and a thousand years old when they entered Rank Seven.


    "Are you the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage?" At this moment, a voice came from beside him.


    Lin Yuan nced over and saw a burly man, whose physique was as perfect as if it were carved, exuding an extremely sharp force just by standing there.


    He was an evolver from the Nine Swords Star Domain named Gao Wufeng, the most valued disciple of the Nine Swords Star Lord. He crossed into Rank Seven at the age of four hundred and thirty, and now he was the peak Rank Seven King Level.


    In terms of strength, this Gao Wufeng far surpassed the Red Kun Lineage''s Grand Peak Master by a considerable margin.


    "Yes, it''s me."


    Lin Yuan nodded. Now that the evolvers who couldprehend that severed body were starting from Rank Six, there was no need to worry about assassination by other races, so there was no need to hide his identity.


    At the same time.


    The other evolvers on this peak were also quietly discussing.


    "Is that the Thirteenth Peak Master?"


    "That''s the monster from the Red Kun Star Domain who crossed into Rank Seven before a hundred years old?"


    "Really a freak. I have a special physique, and I awakened the bloodline of the ancestors. Even with the full support of the family, I only entered Rank Seven at over six hundred years old. How did this Thirteenth Peak Master do it?"


    "I heard that this Thirteenth Peak Master didn''t have any special physical bloodline blessing."


    "Freak, too much of a freak."


    The evolvers who couldprehend it in the first batch were all those with great backgrounds and great origins, and they were talents rarely seen in a star domain. They were very proud, but at this moment, when they saw Lin Yuan, they had no desire topare.


    After all, to cross into Rank Seven before a hundred years old without any physical bloodline blessing was simply terrifying.


    In terms of talent, Lin Yuan estimated that he would leave his name in the history of Human Civilization.


    "I wonder how much the Thirteenth Peak Master knows about thisprehension?" On the other side, Gao Wufeng from the Nine Swords Star Domain said in a low voice.


    "Master said it''s rted to the strongest ones," Lin Yuan said directly.


    Because there was no need to hide it, Gao Wufeng''s master, the Nine Swords Star Lord, had battle strength no less than that of Red Kun Star Lord, and was also an invincible existence at Rank Eight.


    "The strongest ones," Gao Wufeng sighed.


    As the towering pir of Human Civilization, who wouldn''t want to be the next strongest one?


    "With your talent as the Thirteenth Peak Master, you should shine brightly in thisprehension," Gao Wufeng said.


    "It''s not that easy. This is a part of the strongest one''s body. If you canprehend and master it with just talent, why would Human Civilization need to make it public?"


    "It would be enough to let the batch of evolvers with the highest talentprehend it privately."


    Lin Yuan shook his head.


    "The Thirteenth Peak Master is right," a woman with golden wings walked over, her whole body enveloped in infinite light, emitting a holy aura.


    "Zuoqiu Guang?"


    Gao Wufeng looked at the woman with golden wings.


    This woman with golden wings was called Zuoqiu Guang, awakened the bloodline of the Light Elves.


    The Elf bloodline was a very powerful branch in the human bloodline system, especially adept at understanding rules.


    The Light Elf bloodline had a natural affinity for the rules of light, and Zuoqiu Guang''s bloodline concentration was even more unbelievably high. Moreover, with both parents being high-priced evolvers of Human Civilization, they spared no effort in her cultivation.


    Zuoqiu Guang entered Rank Seven at only three hundred and sixty-two years old.


    "Thirteenth Peak Master," Zuoqiu Guang looked at Lin Yuan, a smile appearing on her face.


    Beside her, Gao Wufeng also nodded slightly. In terms of talent, Zuoqiu Guang was even stronger than him.


    The three of them sat together and began to exchange ideas. As for the other evolvers on the mountaintop, they instinctively moved away from the three of them.


    "All right."


    At that moment, under the sky, a huge figure appeared, casting a cold gaze over the many evolvers on the mountaintops.


    "Next, I will remind you."


    "First, in this world, your physical and spiritual bodies are all standardized, all at Rank One. Do not attempt to restore or synchronize your strength."


    "Second, no matter what evolution path youprehend from that severed body, do not practice it in reality. Instead, practice it in the virtual world first."


    "Third, it is forbidden to practice any evolution path other than the oneprehended from that severed body."


    "Fourth, be bold in yourprehension. Even if you die unexpectedly, the strongest ones will ''resurrect'' you."


    The huge figure finished speaking and fell silent.


    On the mountaintops, many evolvers began to discuss in low voices upon hearing this.


    "It seems thatprehending that severed body will be very dangerous," Gao Wufeng said in a low voice.


    "Indeed," Lin Yuan nodded.


    Otherwise, there would be no need to prohibit practicing the evolution pathprehended from the severed body in reality, and if one were to die, the strongest ones would help with ''resurrection.''


    Even using the ''resurrection'' card, it was certain that it wouldn''t be smooth sailing.


    "If you want to be a strongest one, how could you not take risks?" Zuoqiu Guang''s expression was full of determination. Since childhood, she had been addicted to cultivation, longing to be the strongest.


    And in the Human Alliance, in the cosmic sky, only the strongest ones dared to call themselves the ''strongest.''


    "Very well."


    "Good luck to you all."


    The huge figure under the sky disappeared.


    In its ce was a severed body.


    For a moment, even the light seemed to dim.


    All the evolvers'' attention was focused on that severed body.


    "Is that a part of the strongest one''s body?" Lin Yuan also looked up.


    Just as Lin Yuan observed the severed body, an invisible pressure began to descend, oppressing Lin Yuan''s spiritual will.


    "What is this?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression changed slightly.


    Under this kind of suppression, as the observation time passed, the oppression on Lin Yuan''s spiritual will slowly increased.


    "This is?"


    Lin Yuan''s heart was astonished.


    Under this kind of suppression, with only 30% of the power remaining after being replicated into the virtual world, the severed body was still able to exert such a great mental pressure on him?


    Lin Yuan scanned the others around him and found that they were all wearing solemn expressions, bearing the mental pressure naturally emanating from the severed body.


    "But this kind of suppression is actually a good ce to forge spiritual will."


    Lin Yuan''s spirit was aroused. Even though his teacher, the Red Kun Star Lord, was far superior to him in strength, he still couldn''t exert much mental pressure on him.


    "Perhaps with this kind of suppression, my spiritual will index can break through ten thousand points in a short time?"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    ...

 Chapter 221

    Chapter 221


    Now Lin Yuan''s inner world has been formed, and both his physical body and soul have reached perfection.


    The only thing hindering Lin Yuan from stepping into the Eighth Rank is his spiritual will.


    However, cultivating spiritual will directly is quite difficult.


    Originally, Lin Yuan''s worst-case scenario was to undergo one or two more transmigrations.


    Using the difference in the flow of time between the transmigrated world and the main world to experience arge amount of time and refine his spiritual will.


    But now.


    Feeling the immense pressure of the powerful spiritual will emanating from the body segment.


    Lin Yuan was not surprised but delighted.


    This is a ce naturally forged for tempering spiritual will."While tempering the spiritual will, I will also contemte that body segment."


    Lin Yuan carefully observed the body segment. It was a piece of flesh resembling ck jade, with skin of a light ck color, revealing some muscles and deep purple blood.


    Lin Yuan continued to observe closely. In his line of sight, the body segment began to erge, countless runes appearing on the surface of the skin, representing the essence of the paths walked by the mighty. (Mighty = Strongest one = Supreme one = Mighty one, same thing :D)


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan saw runes swirling like a vast sea of ??smoke.


    [Your insight is unrivaled, observing the mysterious body segment, beginning toprehend the first evolutionary path.]


    [Your insight is unrivaled, observing the mysterious body segment, beginning toprehend the fifth evolutionary path.]


    [Your insight is unrivaled, observing the mysterious body segment, beginning toprehend the twentieth evolutionary path.]


    [Your insight is unrivaled, observing the mysterious body segment, beginning toprehend the fiftieth evolutionary path.]


    "So many evolutionary paths?"


    Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised. In less than an hour of observation, he saw thousands of evolutionary paths from just a tiny fraction of that body segment.


    This is simply unbelievable.


    How many evolutionary paths does this body segment contain?


    And this is just a remnant. What if it were aplete body?


    Half a dayter.


    Lin Yuan stopped contemting.


    Gao Wufeng and Zuoqiu Guang approached.


    "It''s incredible," Gao Wufeng shook his head and said, "I have already deduced the beginning of an evolutionary path from this body segment."


    "I feel that this evolutionary path is at least Eighth Rank, or even Ninth or Tenth Rank, and it fits me perfectly. Comprehending the beginning was effortless, without any obstacles."


    Gao Wufeng''s eyes were aze.


    He even felt that the evolutionary path heprehended might be the supreme one.


    "Me too."


    "I feel that some of the evolutionary paths within the body segment are verypatible with me. Those evolutionary paths seem to be waiting specifically for me."


    Zuoqiu Guang spoke with equal excitement.


    Apart from the two of them, the top of this mountain peak, the other evolvers were all excited, obviously gaining a lot and getting what they wanted.


    "Thirteenth Peak Master, what about you?" Gao Wufeng looked at Lin Yuan.


    "I also gained something." Lin Yuan''s tone was calm, but his eyes revealed a hint of doubt.


    Too easy.


    It''s too easy.


    Lin Yuan swept his gaze and found that not only on this mountain peak but also on many other mountain peaks, the evolvers all looked like they had gained a lot.


    This is somewhat unbelievable.


    Could it be that there is no threshold forprehension in this body segment?


    Moreover, the evolvers who can appear here have a remarkable background and a high vision. The evolutionary paths that excite them are at least Eighth Rank, or even Ninth or Tenth Rank.


    Is the quality of the evolutionary paths contained in this body segment so high?


    It should be noted that the evolutionary paths recorded by human civilization are vast, but those that can reach Eighth or Tenth Rank are quite rare.


    Yet they are easilyprehended from the body segment?


    A dayter.


    Lin Yuan, Gao Wufeng, and Zuoqiu Guang gathered again.


    "I have already started practicing," Gao Wufeng said directly, "the more I practice, the less pressure I feel from the will emanating from the body. It seems that the direction I chose is correct."


    While observing andprehending the body segment, one would endure the pressure of the spiritual will emanating from the body.


    This is not only felt by Lin Yuan but also by other evolvers.


    But after Gao Wufeng''s words, it can be concluded that the pressure of spiritual will is not constant; it decreases with theprehension of evolutionary paths during practice.


    "Me too."


    Zuoqiu Guang''s brow furrowed imperceptibly. She originally thought this was something unique to her.


    But now seeing Gao Wufeng also experiencing the same, her thoughts immediately changed.


    "Thirteenth Peak Master, which evolutionary path have you chosen to practice?" Gao Wufeng looked at Lin Yuan.


    As soon as he said this, Zuoqiu Guang also looked at Lin Yuan.


    In terms of talent and aptitude, Lin Yuan definitely surpasses them.


    Since even the two of them haveprehended the beginning of some evolutionary paths, Lin Yuan couldn''t possibly have gained nothing.


    "I''ll take another look."


    Lin Yuan thought for a moment and spoke.


    The fact that other evolvers easilyprehended the evolutionary paths made Lin Yuan feel that something was off.


    "Another look?" Zuoqiu Guang and Gao Wufeng exchanged nces.


    Both were somewhat astonished.


    There is only one spot avable on the path to bing the strongest.


    At this time, shouldn''t you focus on cultivation instead of taking another look?


    You should know that thosepeting for the title of the strongest are not only humans of the same race but also those from other races.


    Every second is extremely precious.


    Gao Wufeng couldn''t help but persuade, "Thirteenth Peak Master, if you don''t choose to cultivate a certain evolutionary path, you will constantly endure the suppression from the spiritual will. Under such suppression, even the efficiency of normal cultivation will be greatly reduced, so there is no need for this."


    "Thirteenth Peak Master, are you frightened by the warnings at the beginning? Are you afraid to cultivate?"


    Zuoqiu Guang said from the side:


    "My teacher told me that when you encounter an opportunity, you must seize it. I am very certain that the evolutionary paths we haveprehended now should have some problems. But if there are issues, and you don''t move forward, human civilization would probably still on the mother."


    "Zuoqiu, you make sense, but I still want to take another look." Lin Yuan looked at the two, knowing that they were also considering him, and spoke calmly.


    The path to bing the strongest?


    It does indeed appeal to Lin Yuan, but not as much as imagined.


    Compared to cultivating the paths to bing the strongest that others have walked, Lin Yuan would rather extrapte the martial arts evolutionary path to the level of the strongest.


    Moreover, there are too many evolutionary paths contained within that body segment, to the point where Lin Yuan felt a bit overwhelmed and dared not continue cultivating.


    Furthermore.


    Lin Yuan also did not want to lose the tempering of his spiritual will.


    Once choosing to cultivate a certain evolutionary path, the pressure of the spiritual will would decrease or even stop.


    For Lin Yuan, the disadvantages outweighed the benefits.


    Regardless, the main goal for Lin Yuan at the moment is to raise his spiritual will index to over ten thousand points before stepping into the Eighth Rank.


    As for abandoning the martial arts evolutionary path to cultivate an unknown evolutionary path, Lin Yuan didn''t have that idea for now.


    "Although I don''t n to cultivate the evolutionary paths within that body segment, I can fullyprehend them, analyze them, grasp their subtle rules, integrate them into the martial arts evolutionary path."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    This approach has two benefits.


    One is to maintain the pressure of the spiritual will, allowing his spiritual will to be tempered at all times.


    The other is to deepen his understanding of the rules and continue to perfect the martial arts evolutionary system.


    The evolutionary paths contained within that body segment are likely to have issues, but they certainly also have merits; otherwise, they wouldn''t captivate evolvers like Gao Wufeng and Zuoqiu Guang.


    As for that path to bing the strongest, Lin Yuan isn''t particrly concerned.


    Time passed by.


    In the blink of an eye, a month passed.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on the mountaintop, constantly observing the phantom of the body segment under the sky.


    Waves of invisible pressure descended, murmurs echoing in Lin Yuan''s ears, entering his spiritual will, reverberating in his soul.


    Lin Yuan''s expression became solemn, his spiritual will enduring tremendous pressure every moment.


    It should be noted that the body and soul that appeared in this virtual world are standard First Rank evolvers, relying entirely on their own spiritual will to withstand the pressure.


    "It''s getting more and more ufortable."


    Lin Yuan sighed softly.


    The invisible pressure of the spiritual will, like countlessrge hammers, struck his spiritual will and soul from all directions.


    But Lin Yuan did not give up. Such a ce that directly targets the spiritual will is rare; this is a shortcut to stepping into the Eighth Rank.


    In addition to tempering his spiritual will.


    Lin Yuan''s analysis of the evolutionary paths heprehended has never stopped.


    [Your insight is unrivaled, analyzing the mysterious evolutionary path, feeling the gains and improving.]


    [Your insight is unrivaled, analyzing the mysterious evolutionary path, feeling the gains and improving.]


    [Your insight is unrivaled, analyzing the mysterious evolutionary path, feeling the gains and improving.]


    It must be said.


    The body segment is indeed from a powerhouse from outside the main world. The principles and essence of the evolutionary paths they practiced arepletely different from those of human civilization''s evolutionary paths.


    Although they bothprehend the same fundamental rules, human civilization''s evolversprehend them from one direction.


    While the owner of that body segmentprehended them from another direction.


    However, the essence is the same, often providing Lin Yuan with great gains.


    "So spatial rules can have such exnations?"


    "How wonderful, the elucidation of the rules of life is unexpectedly so easy to understand?"


    "The rules of the Five Elements."


    Lin Yuan absorbed everything like a sponge.


    On the top of another mountain peak.


    A evolver is also observing the body segment under the sky.


    His aura gradually changed, bing deeper and deeper. It seemed that he was practicing andprehending the evolutionary paths, and he had already cultivated to a profound level.


    "I can feel that the future path is smooth, but why do I always have this feeling?" This evolver is also a talented evolver from a certain star domain, over nine hundred years old, having reached the Seventh Rank and is quite prominent.


    Afterprehending the evolutionary paths from that body segment, he eagerly began cultivation.


    The more he cultivates, the more he feels that he has made the right choice. That body segment seems to have been prepared specifically for him.


    However, at this moment, this evolver also has a feeling of dread.


    "The evolutionary path I am cultivating seems to have issues. It looks perfect on the surface, but once I started practicing, there is no turning back."


    This evolver thought silently in his heart.


    "What should I do?"


    "Stop practicing?" His brows furrowed.


    "Forget it."


    "This is an opportunity to be the strongest. Even if there are issues, I must resolve them. I absolutely cannot give up."


    The evolver steadied his mind and once again immersed himself in cultivation.


    On the mountain peak where Lin Yuan was.


    Gao Wufeng suddenly opened his eyes wide, and at this moment, his aura became deep, faintly resembling that of the body segment under the sky.


    "I..."


    Gao Wufeng opened his mouth, his cultivation was going very smoothly, but recently, he felt somewhat uneasy.


    Uneasy?


    This kind of emotion that only appears in ordinary people is actually happening to him? It''s unbelievable.


    "Inner demon." (Heart Demon)


    A terrifying thought surfaced in Gao Wufeng''s mind.


    As a peak-level Seventh Rank King, he knows too well the horror of inner demons, an ordeal that can only be resisted with at least ten thousand spiritual will index.


    Now that he has only practiced the evolutionary method within that body segment for a month or two, he has attracted an inner demon?


    "No, I can''t continue cultivating."


    Gao Wufeng swallowed hard. If he continued to cultivate, he might directly face the inner demon''s ordeal.


    Although as a peak-level Seventh Rank evolver, he would sooner orter face the inner demon''s ordeal, at the moment, his spiritual will index is not up to standard. If he encounters the inner demon''s ordeal, the chance of survival is very low.


    In the sky.


    On a high tform.


    Several figures stood here, overlooking the many evolvers on the mountain peaks below.


    "It''s been over a month, it seems someone has found out."


    The man who initially revealed his giant figure to remind many evolvers said faintly.


    "Most of the evolutionary paths contained within this body segment are wrong, dead ends, absolute dead ends."


    The second figure spoke calmly.


    This is something that the strongest had discovered early on, so before anyoneprehended them, they specifically issued warnings, prohibiting external real body cultivation andprehension of the evolutionary paths.


    As a result.


    Even if the final path leads to a dead end, the copse and destruction of this virtual world''s body are the only consequences, and the real body in the outside world remains intact.


    Of course, there are also some dead ends that target the spiritual will, namely the inner demon ordeal, which depends on the choice of the evolver.


    If they continue to cultivate and attract the inner demon ordeal, if they cannot ovee it, it will affect the real body in the outside world. But if they do ovee it, they may be able to continue on.


    "Although most of the evolutionary paths are wrong, there are still a few that are viable, and even the path to bing the strongest is hidden among them. It depends on whether they can choose correctly."


    The third figure spoke up.


    In order to greatly ensure the survival rate of these human genius evolvers, the strongest have made many preparations, even promising to ''resurrect'' them.


    "I really envy them. Unlike us, our foundations are already established, and even if we want to take a gamble, we don''t have this opportunity."


    The fourth figure said softly.


    Not every evolver has the courage toprehend that body segment, especially those at the Ninth Rank. They have painstakingly paid the price to reach the Ninth Rank, and their foundations are already established. It''s very difficult for them to start over.


    Starting from the Sixth Rank, the evolver''s soul corresponds to the evolutionary path they practice. At this level, there is still the possibility of changing their own evolutionary path, but it just depends on how much they are willing to pay, and the evolutionary path they change to must be a simr evolutionary path.


    But when ites to the Ninth Rank, it''s different.


    Even if they change their evolutionary path, they can only switch to specific evolutionary paths.


    "Let me see how many people are still cultivating smoothly now."


    The man who spoke first began to observe every evolver below.


    "Huh!"


    When this man''s gaze swept over the top of a mountain peak, he showed a surprised expression.

 Chapter 222

    Chapter 222


    On the high tform, the gazes of several figures all fell on Lin Yuan.


    They were all ninth-rank evolvers, or more urately, manifestations of the consciousness of ninth-rank evolvers.


    At the same time, their consciousness split into millions of threads, presiding over numerous virtual worlds that had been opened up, monitoring the insights of numerous evolvers.


    Among the countless pathways contained within that body, some were too bizarre, even capable of affecting the true bodies in the outside world. Therefore, it required constant attention from evolvers of at least the pinnacle of the eighth rank, or even the ninth rank.


    In case any evolver deviated from the correct path and lost control of themselves, these ninth-rank evolvers could intervene.


    In theory, this body from a deceased strongest being from beyond the realm should not have been revealed so quickly. It contained many hidden dangers and traps, and some genius evolvers might have fallen into them.


    Even though there was a virtual world to iste it, the memories and consciousness were unavoidable.


    But there was no other way.


    Those who controlled this body were not just from human civilization.There were also other alien races, including several peak ns like the Insect n.


    If the ninth-rank evolvers did not take action, and if these peak ns happened to gain control of this powerful evolutionary pathway, it could affect the bnce of power on the battlefield.


    A single strongest being could easily disrupt the bnce maintained by the current major peak ns.


    At that time, how much benefit the Human Civilization Alliance would have to give up to maintain the new bnce, no one knew.


    "That kid, hasn''t he practiced any of the insights he''s gained so far?"


    The first man was somewhat surprised. It had been one or two months since they began their insights, and basically every evolver had been practicing for some time.


    Once they started practicing the insights they had gained, their aura would begin to change, moving towards that body.


    But Lin Yuan, so far, had not changed his aura. His strength had remained at the level of a first-rank evolver.


    "I know that kid."


    "He''s a disciple of Red Kun, and he reached the seventh rank before he was a hundred years old. His talent is quite remarkable."


    Another figure next to him spoke up; he was also observing Lin Yuan.


    "To reach the seventh rank before a hundred years old, without relying on physique or bloodline, is impressive," another figure chimed in.


    Those who became ninth-rank evolvers were also peerless geniuses in their younger years, so they knew how difficult it was to reach the seventh rank before a hundred years old solely on one''s own merit.


    Compared to those special species in the depths of space, humanity was still too weak.


    This weakness wasprehensive.


    Of course, the reason human civilization could develop to its current state was due to its numerical advantage. Under a vast poption base, there would always be some monstrous talents emerging.


    Comparable to those special species.


    "A talent like this couldn''t possibly fail toprehend a pathway. Perhaps he''s sensed the hidden dangers and is unwilling to practice?"


    Thest figure spected.


    They did not doubt Lin Yuan''s insight, so they believed it must be his unwillingness to practice.


    "If he''s unwilling to practice, why stay here? To temper his will?"


    "That''s possible. For such a talent, living too short and seeing too little, the will has always been a weakness. Tempering it would be good."


    "It''s true. This kid, he''s actually able to resist practicing the insights he''s gained."


    The figures exchanged soft words.


    Afterprehending a certain pathway from within that body, the evolvers would face irresistible temptations. Subconsciously, they believed that practicing this pathway would lead to a magnificent future.


    This was also atent ability from that body.


    This ability had been greatly weakened. If facing the body itself instead of a projection in the virtual world, even a ninth-rank evolver would not be able to control themselves.


    Compared to other evolvers immersed in practice, Lin Yuan''s life was more difficult. When other evolvers began practicing, the spiritual pressure they bore would decrease or even stop.


    But Lin Yuan was constantly under spiritual pressure from the suppression of his will.


    Not only suppression, Lin Yuan must continuouslyprehend more pathways and integrate them into the pathway of martial evolution.


    Whispers echoed in Lin Yuan''s ears, emanating from that body, constantly resonating in his consciousness, vibrating his soul with each word.


    Lin Yuan could feel the shaking of his own consciousness, and it was this continuous shaking that made his willpower stronger.


    This strengthening was slow, but at least Lin Yuan could feel it.


    Previously, Lin Yuan couldn''t even perceive the strengthening of his willpower. Being able to perceive it now was already quite exaggerated.


    "Hmm?"


    As time passed, Lin Yuan''s willpower seemed to break through some kind of restraint, and the whispers in his ears suddenly disappeared.


    "My willpower has undergone a transformation?"


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face. Previously, resisting the suppression of his willpower had been quite difficult, but now it suddenly became easier.


    It could only be due to this reason.


    "But this force suppressing my willpower is constantly increasing. As long as I don''t stopprehending and start practicing a certain evolutionary pathway, the suppression will be stronger and stronger."


    "It''s like..."


    Lin Yuan squinted his eyes slightly.


    "It''s forcing me to practice a certain evolutionary pathway."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    "But I won''t."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    During this period, heprehended a total of one hundred and thirty-seven evolutionary pathways,pletely analyzed these one hundred and thirty-seven pathways, and selectively absorbed insights that were beneficial to himself.


    These one hundred and thirty-seven evolutionary pathways greatly improved Lin Yuan''s progress on the core spatial model, and he had alreadyprehended three core spatial models.


    His martial evolution pathway also became more refined.


    "Let''s take a break first."


    After experiencing a mental transformation, Lin Yuan felt exhausted. He simply disconnected his consciousness from the virtual world and returned to reality.


    "The cosmic treasures have arrived?"


    Lin Yuan received the message and immediately got up.


    Not long ago, Lin Yuan purchased several cosmic treasures to stabilize the world within his body.


    The internal world opened up by evolvers was not a one-time effort; it required continuous investmentter on.


    This investment included some cosmic treasures. Certain special cosmic treasures contained the origin power of certain rules, defending the internal world and perfecting the world''s rules.


    The battles between eighth-rank evolvers mainly involved collisions of world power. Without considering talents, secret techniques, or insights into rules, whoever had more abundant and powerful world power would have the advantage.


    Lin Yuan walked out of the hall and looked up at the sky.


    Before long, a spaceship descended.


    A staff member carrying a briefcase walked up to Lin Yuan.


    "These are your items. Shuntong Group is at your service."


    The staff member was respectful, verifying Lin Yuan''s information and identity before handing over the briefcase.


    Lin Yuan took the briefcase and returned to the hall.


    "Cosmic treasures."


    Lin Yuan had purchased three cosmic treasures in total.


    They were ''Primordial Fire,'' ''Essence of Earth,'' and ''Invisible Wind.''


    All were eight-star cosmic treasures, and together they cost sixteen thousand universe crystals, averaging about five to six thousand universe crystals each.


    One universe crystal was equivalent to one hundred million universe coins, or one trillion civilization coins.


    In other words, each cosmic treasure was worth five to six thousand trillion civilization coins. Such a huge asset was worth a star domain.


    And Lin Yuan''s ability to purchase these three cosmic treasures was entirely due to his privilege as a Level 7 Citizen. Even if one had the money, they wouldn''t be able to buy them with a slightly lower citizen level.


    "I hope they won''t disappoint me."


    Lin Yuan looked at the three cosmic treasures in front of him. To purchase them, Lin Yuan''s wealth had decreased by a quarter.


    Swoosh.


    Lin Yuan''s mind moved.


    His consciousness entered the internal world.


    The three cosmic treasures also appeared here.


    Crack.


    The ss bottles containing the three cosmic treasures shattered.


    First was the ''Primordial Fire,'' rising up and forming a sun directly in the sky, filling the entire world with warm and bright light.


    Then came the ''Essence of Earth,'' which directly merged into the ground. Vaguely, Lin Yuan felt that the entire world had be much denser.


    Finally, the ''Invisible Wind'' disappeared directly into the air, blowing gently.


    "Not bad."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    If the previous internal world had been bare, it was now barely ''alive.''


    "The world power has also increased significantly."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    "The next time I encounter suitable cosmic treasures, I''ll buy them again."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Not every cosmic treasure was suitable for integration into the internal world. It depended on the specific situation of one''s internal world.


    The three cosmic treasures Lin Yuan selected were all very suitable for his internal world.


    Time passed.


    In the blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed.


    Most of the time, Lin Yuan wasprehending the body and enduring the suppression of his will, as well as analyzing one evolutionary pathway after another.


    "The one thousand three hundred and twenty-fifth core spatial model."


    Lin Yuan felt pleased.


    Half a year ago, just after the sixth transmigration, Lin Yuan''s understanding of the core spatial model had stopped at one thousand two hundred types.


    Now, in such a short time, he hadprehended more than a hundred additional core spatial models. The evolutionary pathways within that body had undoubtedly been extremely helpful to Lin Yuan.


    "In addition to the core spatial models, I''ve alsoprehended many core life models."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The evolutionary pathways within that body covered everything, and Lin Yuan benefited greatly from thoroughly analyzing each one.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan seemed to sense something.


    He disconnected his consciousness from the virtual world and delved into the depths of his mind.


    "I''ve already umted a strand of Breaking Boundary Source Power?"


    Lin Yuan looked towards the majestic and grandiose Gate of the Myriad Realms. At this moment, the edge of this light gate had beenpletely illuminated.


    This meant that aplete strand of Breaking Boundary Source Power had already been umted, and Lin Yuan could transmigrate at any time.


    "Let''s wait a little longer."


    "Transmigrating between worlds doesn''t necessarily provide such good conditions for tempering the will."


    Lin Yuan contemted for a moment and decided not to transmigrate now.


    With a substandard spiritual will index, he couldn''t reach the eighth rank. Even if he transmigrated, the improvement in strength would be limited, especially in theprehension of spatial rules. If he stopped analyzing the evolutionary pathways within that body and forcefullyprehended subsequent core spatial models at the seventh rank, even Lin Yuan felt it would be difficult.


    It would be a case of working twice as hard for half the result.


    Instead of that, it would be better to pause the transmigration for now and focus on tempering his willpower. This way, he could reach ten thousand points of spiritual willpower sooner, break through the eighth rank, and then consider it again.


    Anyway, the Breaking Boundary Source Power won''t be wasted; it will only umte until Lin Yuan uses it in the future.


    Lin Yuan never forgot his purpose: to be stronger. If transmigration can make him stronger, then he''ll transmigrate. If pausing transmigration can make him stronger, then he''ll pause transmigration for now.


    Time passed.


    In the blink of an eye, another two years had passed.


    During these two years, Lin Yuan mainly focused on tempering his willpower, with analyzing the evolutionary pathways within that bodying second.


    Because as time went on, the suppressing force on his willpower would be stronger, affecting Lin Yuan''sprehension efficiency.


    "Hu."


    Lin Yuan stopped observing the body under the sky and sighed slightly.


    He only felt the suppressing force on his willpower when observing the body. As time passed, this suppressing force would be stronger. But when he stopped observing, the suppressing force on his willpower would disappear.


    "Over these years, my willpower has transformed three times."


    Lin Yuan silently thought.


    The first time was two years ago.


    The second time was one year and two months ago.


    The third time was a few days ago.


    After these three transformations, Lin Yuan felt that his willpower index should have greatly improved.


    "Let''s go test how much my willpower index has increased now."


    Lin Yuan disconnected his consciousness from the virtual world and returned to reality.


    "Let''s rest for a while first."


    Lin Yuan didn''t immediately test his willpower.


    The willpower index was not fixed; it would fluctuate with the evolver''s state.


    Now that Lin Yuan had just finishedprehending the body, his mind was somewhat tired. Testing now might lead to some errors and wouldn''t be very urate.


    Only when in a perfect mental state could the willpower index be measured urately.


    Half a dayter.


    Lin Yuan had rested enough.


    All aspects of him had recovered to their peak.


    He then connected his consciousness to the virtual world once again.


    Entering his personal space.


    "Wisdom Goddess, I apply for a test of my willpower index."


    Lin Yuan applied to the Wisdom Goddess.


    The willpower index of an evolver was ethereal and could only be urately measured if one of the three Goddesses allocated someputing power.


    "Respected Level 7 Citizen Lin Yuan, without using any physical or soul power, only relying on your own spiritual consciousness, impact the surroundings."


    The solemn and cold voice of the Wisdom Goddess came.


    Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan immediatelyplied.


    Boom!


    A terrifying pressure of willpower spread out in all directions.


    After a moment.


    The measurement of the willpower index waspleted.


    "How much?"


    An expectant look appeared on Lin Yuan''s face as he checked the result.


    "The willpower index is 9234."


    A sense of joy welled up in Lin Yuan''s heart.

 Chapter 223

    Chapter 223


    The index of mental willpower can reach over nine thousand two hundred.


    Indeed, it was somewhat unexpected for Lin Yuan.


    You should know, two or three years ago, when Lin Yuan first measured the index of mental willpower.


    It was only 7848.


    This index of 7848 mental willpower, Lin Yuan umted through six transmigrations, over a thousand years of umtion, to possess such mental willpower strength.


    Now, only two or three years have passed, and it has increased by over a thousand mental willpower index again, which is simply unbelievable.


    As is well known, the index of mental willpower bes increasingly difficult to increase as it progresses. Lin Yuan''s worst expectation was to experience a few more transmigrations.


    Using the long time of traversing the worlds to forcefully increase one''s mental willpower index.


    However, in that case, it would basically only waste the opportunities for transmigration, after all, until the eighth rank of realm,prehension of the rules would only be increasingly difficult.In fact, with Lin Yuan''s current seventh rank level, being able toprehend the core spatial rule model is already an unbelievable thing.


    Normally, only when reaching the eighth rank, evolvers will start toprehend the core spatial model.


    Moreover, the core spatial modelprehended by Lin Yuan has already reached more than thirteen hundred types, which is a level that many peak evolvers of the eighth rank can only attain.


    "At the current rate, in one or two years at most, my mental willpower index will reach ten thousand, and then I can casually choose a world to transmigrate and try to pass through the Heart Devil Tribtion."


    Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart.


    After passing through the Heart Devil Tribtion, Lin Yuan will step into the eighth rank without any hindrance.


    Evolvers stepping into the eighth rank need to fulfill three prerequisites.


    First is that the index of mental willpower is high enough, preferably reaching ten thousand points.


    Second is to open up an internal world. Only when the internal world is formed can there be a basis for stepping into the eighth rank.


    The third is to refine the physical body and soul to the extreme perfection of the seventh rank.


    The third prerequisite is almost the same as the first, requiring the evolver to spend a lot of time.


    After all, even if one is a peak seventh rank king, it is not considered perfect, and there are still subtle areas that need to be polished slowly.


    This consumes a lot of time.


    However, for Lin Yuan, the third prerequisite is as good as non-existent.


    With one internal world formed, the power of the world permeates the whole body, nurturing the physical body, soul, and even the mental willpower.


    More than a year ago, Lin Yuan''s physical body and soul had already reached the absolute perfection of the seventh rank, without any ws.


    And with the continuous nourishment of the power of the world, Lin Yuan''s physical body and soul are still slowly improving, breaking through the fetters of the great realm slowly.


    This is the power of the world, the exclusive power of the eighth rank evolver, especially Lin Yuan''s internal world, which spans more than a hundred thousand square kilometers, coupled with the perfection brought about by three cosmic treasures.


    The derived power of the world makes Lin Yuan benefit endlessly.


    Lin Yuan had a feeling that even if he didn''t pass through the Heart Devil Tribtion, relying solely on the nourishment of the power of the world, one day he would be able to reach the peak of the eighth rank, the extreme of the eighth rank.


    Virtual world.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on the mountaintop.


    "There have been many recements."


    Lin Yuan nced at the mountaintops of other peaks. In these two or three years, many evolvers, because of practicing the evolution paths realized within their bodies, caused their bodies to copse, and withdrew from this opportunity forprehension.


    And then there were many new talented evolvers joining.


    "Many of the evolution paths contained within that body are dead ends. The strongest ones have already set the rules. Once the cultivation fails, they will be unable to continueprehension for a hundred years."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    This is also for the good of many evolvers. Even if it is only practicing in the virtual world, the evolution paths within the body are notpletely incapable of causing an impact.


    After trying many times, if it affects the true body, it could lead to major problems.


    "Our human civilization is already very good. Unlike other groups, without the istion of the virtual world, those strong beings from other races whoprehend it have to face risks."


    "I don''t know how many will die."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    So far, the virtual world is unique to human civilization, said to be from the means of a certain strongest one, a product of the special evolutionary path where this person is located.


    Just as Lin Yuan was about to continue practicing and honing his skills.


    "Gao Wufeng is looking for me?" Lin Yuan received a message.


    Gao Wufeng, the disciple most valued by the Lord of the Nine Swords, had a good conversation with Lin Yuan when he first entered this virtual world, and the rtionship between the two was good.


    In addition to Gao Wufeng, there was also Zuoqiu Guang, who had the bloodline of the light elves.


    "Gao Wufeng." Lin Yuan felt some emotion in his heart.


    In the past two or three years, countless evolvers have sadly withdrawn from the opportunity forprehension.


    But simrly, there are also a few evolvers who have shone brightly and continued on the path of enlightenment.


    Gao Wufeng is one of them.


    Gao Wufeng''s evolution path realized from within that body is extremely special, actually able to induce the arrival of the Heart Devil.


    The arrival of the Heart Devil is no small matter. It is one of the few real dead ends that can directly affect the external true body.


    Without sufficient preparation, facing the Heart Devil, even the intervention of a strong person to ''resurrect'' won''t bring them back.


    Normally.


    Under the threat of the Heart Devil Tribtion.


    Gao Wufeng''s most correct choice should have been to decisively give up this opportunity forprehension.


    After all, it concerns one''s own life.


    Although the path of the evolution is good, if there is no life left, what meaning is there to have many paths of evolution?


    But Gao Wufeng did not choose to give up.


    Instead, he continued to practice, weing the arrival of the Heart Devil in an almost crazy manner.


    In the end, Gao Wufeng sessfully passed through the Heart Devil Tribtion.


    As a result, his cultivation on the path he realized from within that body went smoothly, and he has already stood at the forefront of all current evolvers in terms of progress.


    "To actively face the Heart Devil Tribtion without reaching a mental willpower index of ten thousand,mendable courage. Perhaps it is also because of this that it aligns with the evolution path one is practicing, making the subsequent progress smooth sailing?"


    Lin Yuan secretly sighed.


    He couldn''t handle this matter. Gao Wufeng waspletely gambling with his own life. Now that he has passed, he''s in the limelight, but what if he hadn''t passed? Who would remember ''Gao Wufeng''?


    Personal space.


    Gao Wufeng and Zuoqiu Guang sat there.


    There were also several other evolvers.


    Basically, they were all geniuses who were still on the path of realizing evolutionary paths.


    "The Thirteenth Peak Lord is here."


    Gao Wufeng saw Lin Yuan and immediately greeted him.


    "Thirteenth Peak Lord."


    "Thirteenth Peak Lord."


    The other evolvers did the same.


    After all, Lin Yuan''s reputation as a genius was quite intimidating, and no evolver dared to underestimate him.


    Lin Yuan sat down, and the others continued to converse.


    "Brother Gao, you must be close to the eighth rank by now," Zuoqiu Guang looked at Gao Wufeng with emotion, "Facing the Heart Devil Tribtion head-on, Brother Gao''s courage, I admire it."


    Zuoqiu Guang knew very well that if she were in Gao Wufeng''s position, there was a high probability that she wouldn''t dare to continue practicing.


    "This time I faced the Heart Devil Tribtion. I don''t know what I''ll face next time," Gao Wufeng modestly said.


    In reality, Gao Wufeng was still very pleased with himself because he bet correctly, and now he is extremely smooth on the path of cultivation.


    At this moment, Gao Wufeng even had a wild ambition. He believed that the evolutionary path he practiced was the ultimate evolutionary path left by that strongest one.


    Otherwise, how could he be cultivating so smoothly now?


    "I must have passed the test. Only by passing the Heart Devil Tribtion and possessing an indomitable spirit can one pass the test," Gao Wufeng was excited.


    "By the way." Gao Wufeng''s gaze shifted to Lin Yuan, "Thirteenth Peak Lord, how is your cultivation going now? Haven''t decided which evolutionary path to cultivate yet?"


    It''s no secret that Lin Yuan hasn''t cultivated any evolutionary paths.


    "Yes, I''m timid and afraid of problems," Lin Yuan said.


    "Timid?" Gao Wufeng frowned. As a human evolver, one should be bold and break through all obstacles.


    Just like he faced the threat of the Heart Devil, facing it directly was the best approach.


    Now that he''s passed, he''s obtained great benefits.


    "Thirteenth Peak Lord, I have to tell you sometimes being timid is not a virtue. With the istion of the virtual world, even if there are real problems, there''s a chance to start over. Why hesitate? Sometimes, if you don''t seize the opportunity, it''ll be difficult to seize itter on," Gao Wufeng couldn''t help but advise Lin Yuan.


    "I''m actually tempering my mental willpower," Lin Yuan said again.


    "Tempering mental willpower?"


    The other evolvers nced at each other.


    They all felt that Lin Yuan was a bit silly. Tempering mental willpower can be slowly improved in many ways.


    Using the precious opportunity toprehend part of a strongest one''s body to temper mental willpower? This seems a bit like selling pearls for swine.


    "Alright."


    "Let''s not talk about this anymore."


    Gao Wufeng didn''t intend to continue advising Lin Yuan.


    Strictly speaking, he and Lin Yuan are in apetitive rtionship, after all, the path to bing a strongest one can only amodate one person.


    "I invited you here this time because I want to discuss the doubts I encountered during cultivation," Gao Wufeng said truthfully. It''s normal for multiple evolvers to exchange insights with each other since everyone is cultivating the evolutionary paths realized from within that body.


    The group chatted for a while.


    Lin Yuan listened on the side.


    "I wonder if the Thirteenth Peak Lord has any insights?" Gao Wufeng still attached importance to Lin Yuan. Although Lin Yuan hasn''t cultivated, as a top-tier genius, his knowledge and thoughts are definitely extraordinary.


    "Brother Gao, I think the evolutionary path you''re currently cultivating will likely have an impact on your mental willpower in the future," Lin Yuan said after a moment of silence.


    "An impact on my mental willpower?"


    Gao Wufeng pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you, Thirteenth Peak Lord, for the reminder. I understand."


    So what if it affects mental willpower? As long as I can be a strongest one, no matter how great the cost, it''s worth it.


    Red Kun Main Star.


    Lin Yuan returned to reality.


    "Gao Wufeng must be in trouble."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. Through Gao Wufeng''s description, Lin Yuan has alsoprehended the evolutionary path practiced by the other party and analyzed it, finding it to be aplete pitfall.


    Originally, Lin Yuan wanted to remind him.


    But seeing Gao Wufeng''s indifferent look, he didn''t continue saying anything.


    Now that Gao Wufeng is immersed in his dream of bing a strongest one, nothing anyone says will have any effect.


    Is it so easy to be a strongest one?


    Just then.


    Lin Yuan''s expression changed slightly.


    He looked up in a certain direction.


    There was a fluctuation in the force of space.


    "Opening up an internal world?"


    "Senior Brother broke through to the eighth rank?"


    Lin Yuan walked out of the main hall, specting in his heart.


    Two or three years ago, Eldest Senior Brother returned from the battlefield of the alien race, experiencing the threat of death from the eighth-rank alien.


    At that time, Eldest Senior Brother had deep insights. After returning, he began to seclude himself, not even participating in theprehension of the body of the strongest one.


    Whoosh.


    Lin Yuan flew to the first peak.


    The other eleven senior brothers also arrived.


    They all waited outside for Eldest Senior Brother toplete his breakthrough.


    Hum.


    The fluctuation of spatial force.


    It remained extremely stable from beginning to end.


    "There shouldn''t be any problem."


    After observing for a while, Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Although Lin Yuan had not yet broken through to the eighth rank, he had the experience of opening up an internal world. He knew that Eldest Senior Brother''s process of opening up his internal world went very smoothly.


    And the most difficult part for a seventh-rank evolver to break through to the eighth rank evolver is to open up an internal world.


    It is extremely rare for someone like Lin Yuan, whose internal world has reached a radius of over one hundred thousand miles, to still be stuck at the level of mental willpower.


    Mainly because Lin Yuan is too young, and his cultivation speed is too fast.


    After a moment.


    The spatial fluctuations stabilized.


    Eldest Senior Brother''s figure also quickly flew out.


    "Congrattions, Eldest Senior Brother."


    "Congrattions on Eldest Senior Brother''s breakthrough to the eighth rank."


    The various peak masters congratted him one after another, and Eldest Senior Brother was also full of smiles.


    "Come over here, all of you."


    Suddenly, the voice of the master of the Red Kun Star Domain, echoed in the ears of Lin Yuan and others.


    "The master is calling us."


    "Hurry over."


    "It should be to praise Eldest Senior Brother''s breakthrough."


    "When will I be able to break through to the eighth rank?"


    Lin Yuan and the other peak masters flew towards the central peak.


    The crimson hall.


    The master of the Red Kun Star Domain sat high above.


    Eldest Senior Brother and other senior brothers stood on both sides.


    "Not bad."


    The master of the Red Kun Star Domain nodded slightly towards Eldest Senior Brother.


    "Thank you, Master."


    Eldest Senior Brother was overwhelmed with joy.


    Breaking through to the eighth rank, he was also happy. This is the most critical stage for human evolvers.


    An eighth-rank evolver can preside over a star domain and be a master of a region, intimidating all directions.


    It can be called a local official.


    "How big is your internal world?" the master of the Red Kun Star Domain asked after some thought.


    When an evolver opens up an internal world, as long as it is within a radius of a thousand miles, it can be actively suppressed without causing a world illusion.


    "Master, my internal world is two hundred and twenty miles in radius."


    Eldest Senior Brother''s tone was excited.


    Generally, when a newly promoted eighth-rank evolver, their internal world is only a hundred miles in radius.


    Eldest Senior Brother being able to reach a radius of two hundred and twenty miles is obviously much stronger than the average eighth-rank evolver.


    "Just reached the eighth rank, and Eldest Senior Brother has an internal world with a radius of two hundred and twenty miles. The potential is unlimited."


    "Eldest Senior Brother, you must take me with you in the future and give me some guidance."


    "With such arge internal world, how strong would the power of the world derived from it be?"


    The various peak masters discussed one after another, their tones full of admiration.


    Especially the second and third senior brothers, they are also at the seventh rank.


    Although they have not reached the pinnacle of the king level, they can also foresee the difficulty of Eldest Senior Brother opening up an internal world with a radius of two hundred and twenty miles.


    "A radius of two hundred and twenty miles internal world?"


    The master of the Red Kun Star Domain nced at the energetic Eldest Senior Brother.


    Then he nced at Lin Yuan, who was sitting quietly with a puppy smile on his face.


    He didn''t say anything.

 Chapter 224

    Chapter 224


    The thoughts of the Red Kun Star Lord wereplicated.


    His own senior disciple advancing to the Eighth Rank was originally something that should have pleased him.


    After all, this was his first Eighth Rank disciple.


    But he couldn''t help but feel a sense ofparison.


    His senior disciple had reached the Eighth Rank, with a world within his body spanning two hundred and thirty square miles.


    Compared to Lin Yuan''s world spanning over a hundred thousand square miles while still at the Seventh Rank, and considering that Lin Yuan would experience a significant surge in his world upon reaching the Eighth Rank, the disparity between them became even greater.


    Watching his senior disciple''s joyful expression, the Red Kun Star Lord couldn''t help but sigh.


    Indeed.


    Sometimes ignorance was a kind of bliss."Alright."


    "Don''t get toocent. The path beyond the Eighth Rank is not easy. You need to gather various cosmic treasures,prehend more rules, and perfect your inner world."


    The Red Kun Star Lord spoke up.


    As an experienced individual who had reached the invincible level of the Eighth Rank, the Red Kun Star Lord was fully qualified to say such things.


    Even among Eighth Ranks, the differences were significant. For example, the Red Kun Star Lord could dispatch ordinary Eighth Rank powerhouses with about as much effort as cutting vegetables.


    In many medium-sized battles against alien races, the Red Kun Star Lord would reveal his true form, covering the sky and devouring countless alien powerhouses with a gentle inhtion.


    Take for instance the ck Abyss n''s peerless Eighth Rank invincible from a million years ago, ck Abyss Qingyu. With just one soul attack, he pierced through the defenses of many Eighth Rank evolvers, including a soul defense treasure almost to the point of shattering it. Even so, they couldn''t escape the fate of death.


    "Understood."


    The senior disciple was taken aback, immediately gathering his thoughts.


    Indeed, for the entire human civilization and the myriad of stars in the universe, reaching the Eighth Rank only granted qualification to stand on the stage.


    "That''s good."


    The Red Kun Star Lord nodded slightly.


    Though the senior disciple was far from beingparable to Lin Yuan, he still hoped that this disciple of his would go further on the path of evolution.


    "Which star domain do you n to preside over?"


    The Red Kun Star Lord looked towards the senior disciple and asked.


    "Which star domain to preside over."


    Below, Lin Yuan and many other disciples looked towards the eldest senior brother.


    Under the Human Civilization Alliance, evolvers below the Eighth Rank were essentially protected and sheltered. There were hardly any mandatory tasks ormands. Even when participating in battles against alien races, it was usually evolvers who volunteered to go.


    Evolver below the Eighth Rank could livefortably as long as they didn''t actively provoke trouble or vite thews and regtions of human civilization.


    This might seem ordinary, but in reality, in the other alien races of the universe, the weak were enved and driven, where was the freedom? Comfortable?


    But all of this only applied to those below the Eighth Rank.


    Once an evolver reached the Eighth Rank, they needed to fulfill obligations to human civilization.


    Specifically, they needed to choose a star domain, take on the role of a star lord, and preside over it for five hundred years.


    After five hundred years, Eighth Rank evolvers could choose to continue presiding or step down.


    In simple terms, evolvers below the Eighth Rank were protected, but once they reached the Eighth Rank, they were the ones protecting other citizens.


    "Teacher, I haven''t decided yet."


    The senior disciple said.


    Before attempting to reach the Eighth Rank, the senior disciple didn''t know if he could sessfully advance. If he died in the ordeal of confronting his inner demons, it wouldn''t matter how much he thought about it.


    "It''s alright, take your time to consider."


    The Red Kun Star Lord casually asked, presiding over a star domain and serving as a star lord, although it was an obligation of an Eighth Rank evolver, it wasn''t something that needed to be done immediately, there was still time to buffer.


    After reminding a few more words, the Red Kun Star Lord watched as Lin Yuan and others left.


    At the First Peak, thirteen peak masters of the Red Kun Lineage gathered.


    "By the way, Eldest Senior Brother, while you were in seclusion attempting to break through to the Eighth Rank, the strongest of humanity have retrieved the body of that extraterrestrial being from therge-scale battlefield."


    The third senior brother spoke of recent events, emphasizing the part about the body of the extraterrestrial powerhouse.


    "I am aware of this."


    The Eldest Senior Brother nodded. As long as his consciousness connected to the virtual world, he could understand everything.


    The matter ofprehending the body of the extraterrestrial powerhouse was not a secret within human civilization. Basically, evolvers of the Sixth and Seventh Ranks knew about it.


    The powerhouses didn''t intend to conceal this matter because ultimately, this body would be open to most human evolvers.


    The other major peak tribes that obtained parts of the body would do the same. The major peak tribes were allpeting,peting for the only evolutionary path to the powerhouse level.


    "Teacher told me that the evolutionary path contained within the body of that extraterrestrial being is very peculiar. Over the years, those who haveprehended the evolutionary path have encountered difficulties in their cultivation."


    "So, I have decided not toprehend that body."


    The Eldest Senior Brother shook his head.


    Whether toprehend that body is entirely up to the evolver''s decision, but opportunities at the level of powerhouses are rarely refused.


    The Eldest Senior Brother knew his own affairs. He had just broken through to the Eighth Rank and needed a lot of time to stabilize his realm. At this time, it waspletely unnecessary toprehend a body of unknown origin.


    For the Eldest Senior Brother, stabilizing his own realm was the most important. By the time his own realm was stable, many talented evolvers would have already immersed themselves in it, andpeting with these geniuses who had taken the lead would be almost hopeless.


    Therefore, the Eldest Senior Brother chose to give up directly.


    "Well said."


    Lin Yuan nodded inwardly at the words.


    With his Unrivaled Insight, continuouslyprehending the many evolutionary paths contained within that body, he increasingly realized that almost all of theprehended evolutionary paths had more or less problems.


    The Eldest Senior Brother''s cautiousness meant that he wouldn''t be affected by the remains of that body.


    In the virtual world, Lin Yuan still sat atop the peak.


    At this moment, many peaks in this virtual world were still upied by evolvers.


    But in reality, almost ny-nine percent of the evolvers had been reced once, and most of them had only recently arrived.


    Lin Yuan observed the body under the sky, his consciousness constantly suppressed, while alsoprehending the evolutionary paths contained within the body.


    "Now, I haveprehended two thousand eight hundred and thirty-seven evolutionary paths, and have analyzed andprehended all of these evolutionary paths, integrating them into myself."


    "Butpared to the myriad evolutionary paths contained within this body, it''s just a drop in the ocean."


    Lin Yuan''s expression was amazed. As a high-level evolver, he indeed practiced many evolutionary paths, but the owner of this body had practiced far too many.


    "And, these evolutionary paths are all quite sinister."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself, especially the oppressive mental will that forced evolvers to choose and practice a certain evolutionary path as soon as possible.


    "Anyway, I won''t practice, justprehend, and won''t be affected by anything."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts converged.


    It was like a prescription; no one knew what effect the decoction made from this prescription would have. To figure it out, one had to drink the decoction, but Lin Yuan didn''t n to drink the decoction at all, justprehend the prescription, so naturally there would be no problem.


    "The two thousand eight hundred and thirty-seventh evolutionary path..."


    Lin Yuan''s expression moved, and heprehended another evolutionary path from the body.


    "Kill, kill, kill, kill everything, all beings can be killed by nature."


    The moment heprehended this evolutionary path, Lin Yuan felt a boundless killing intent.


    At the same time, a desire arose in his heart, wanting to immediately immerse himself in practicing this evolutionary path.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan stoppedprehending, the suppression of the mental will disappeared, and the lingering sound of killing gradually faded away.


    "If other evolversprehend this evolutionary path, they will probably start practicing it immediately, and be influenced by the immense killing intent within, to the point that their true selves will be nothing more than crazed killers?"


    Lin Yuan silently thought to himself. This wasn''t the first time he had encountered this. Several times before, someprehended evolutionary paths had begun to affect him before he could even practice them.


    As a result, Lin Yuan set a constraint for himself: once his virtual body began practicing, he would forcibly sever the connection and return his consciousness to his true body.


    This way, at least he could cut off the influence.


    "Continue, continue."


    After resting for a while, Lin Yuan began to analyze this path of killing evolutionary path.


    Not far from Lin Yuan.


    Gao Wufeng was also meditating.


    Practicing the evolutionary paths contained within the body, as long as he simultaneously observed andprehended the body under the sky, the speed of his cultivation could be terrifyingly increased.


    As Gao Wufeng continued his cultivation.


    "Hmm?"


    Gao Wufeng''s mental consciousness silently began to sink...


    "Where is this?"


    Gao Wufeng opened his eyes, looking around with great vignce.


    But there was no response.


    In all directions, it was a vast expanse of whiteness.


    At first, Gao Wufeng, out of caution, refrained from acting on his own.


    But as time passed.


    One hundred years, two hundred years, one thousand years, ten thousand years.


    Gao Wufeng''s expression gradually became frantic. Within this vast expanse of whiteness, there were no fluctuations of rules present, so he couldn''t cultivate at all.


    Gao Wufeng could only watch time pass slowly.


    Twenty thousand yearster.


    Gao Wufengpletely lost control, going insane and striking out in all directions.


    Although many evolvers, when in seclusion, experienced the passage of decades or even hundreds of years, it was because they were immersed in cultivation.


    Theyprehended the fluctuations of rules, experienced the avenues of heaven and earth, and were engrossed in it, so time passed quickly.


    But in the white expanse where Gao Wufeng currently found himself, there were no fluctuations of rules, and he couldn''t even enter a state of slumber, only able to watch time slip away.


    Being able to endure for twenty thousand years was already the result of Gao Wufeng''s incredibly strong mental willpower.


    For other evolvers, they probably would have gone mad in less than ten thousand years.


    Fifty thousand years passed.


    "What is this?"


    "Who am I? My name is Gao Wufeng? Ie from human civilization, but what about the other humans besides me? I remember I had a teacher."


    "Yes, a test. I remember I wasprehending that body, but how did I end up here?"


    Gao Wufeng''s mind was restless.


    One hundred thousand yearster.


    Gao Wufeng looked up at the sky, still a vast expanse of whiteness.


    Crack.


    Gao Wufeng''s eyes dimmed in an instant.


    His mental consciousness began to fade away, a voluntary act, meaning Gao Wufeng did it himself, losing the motivation to live.


    In the outside world.


    For Gao Wufeng, in the hundreds of thousands of years he experienced in the white expanse, only a few breaths had passed in the outside world.


    Gao Wufeng''s body began to copse, and his mental willpower began to fade away as well.


    "Brother Gao?"


    Lin Yuan immediately noticed the change and stopped observing, looking towards Gao Wufeng.


    He and Gao Wufeng were not far apart, so he noticed the anomaly right away.


    "Did cultivation fail? Didn''t make it through this time?"


    Lin Yuan sighed. Last time, Gao Wufeng had faced the trial of the heart demon and barely made it through, resulting in rapid progress in cultivation afterwards.


    But now, it seemed he had encountered a simr ordeal, and unfortunately couldn''t withstand it this time.


    In recent years, Lin Yuan had seen many such cases; some evolvers would suddenly copse and lose consciousness while cultivating.


    "I wonder if it has affected his true body in the outside world?"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. If it was only the copse of the virtual world''s body, it wouldn''t be a big problem as long as his real body and soul were fine.


    An hourter.


    Zuoqiu Guang walked over.


    "Brother Gao almost went on a killing spree in the Nine Sword Star Domain. If it wasn''t for the timely intervention of the Nine Sword Star Lord, it''s feared..."


    Zuoqiu Guang said directly. She got along well with Gao Wufeng and usually kept in touch. After Gao Wufeng had an ident, she immediately went to check the situation in the Nine Sword Star Domain.


    "Brother Gao''s mental consciousness should have gone wrong. Fortunately, after the Nine Sword Star Lord''s timely suppression, supplemented by some cosmic treasures for healing the mind, there shouldn''t be much problem with subsequent issues."


    Zuoqiu Guang''s tone of speech faintly revealed a sense of fear.


    Yesterday, Gao Wufeng was still exchanging experiences with her, seemingly perfectly normal. But today, he went crazy as if he had gone insane. If it hadn''t been for the timely intervention of the Nine Sword Star Lord, the consequences would have been unthinkable.


    "This body..."


    Zuoqiu Guang looked up at the body under the sky.


    At first, she thought this was a great opportunity and her hope of bing a powerhouse.


    But as time passed, Zuoqiu Guang witnessed, with her own eyes, one genius after another walking the path to ruin and death. Many of these evolver geniuses were not much inferior to her, but they still couldn''t make it through.


    "There''s a big problem with this body, it''s definitely not as simple asprehending evolutionary paths."


    Zuoqiu Guang murmured to herself, "I might not be able to hold on either. Thirteenth Peak Master, sometimes I envy you, notprehending evolutionary paths on your own. I can''t help but want to cultivate even without wanting to."


    Once the evolutionary paths contained within the body were chosen for cultivation, there was no turning back. Unless one didn''t enter this virtual world, as long as they continued to observe that body, the evolutionary paths within would automatically cultivate themselves.


    "Can''t hold on?" Lin Yuan looked towards Zuoqiu Guang.


    "Now, although I haven''t gone crazy, asionally I get trapped in some illusions. Sometimes I don''t even know it myself."


    Zuoqiu Guang said.


    Originally, she didn''t consider these issues problems until she saw Gao Wufeng, who had almost gone crazy.


    Zuoqiu Guang was very worried that she would end up like Gao Wufeng one day.


    "Then it really should be stopped."


    Lin Yuan nodded. ording to Zuoqiu Guang''s description, continuing cultivation would likely lead to major problems, not much different from Gao Wufeng.


    "It''s quite ironic."


    "Originally, among the three of us, Brother Gao and I were full of ambition and confidence, thinking that the path to bing a powerhouse was certain. But now, both of us have left, and it''s you, Thirteenth Peak Master, who has persisted until now." (Because he is the MC!! :D)


    Zuoqiu Guang sighed and disappeared, leaving the virtual world.

 Chapter 225

    Chapter 225


    Zuoqiu Guang''s words were tinged with self-deprecation.


    Once upon a time, she, along with Gao Wufeng and several other evolvers, had looked down upon Lin Yuan''s timid actions.


    They believed that on the path of evolution, pushing forward relentlessly was the correct approach.


    For example, Gao Wufeng forcefully confronting the Heart Demon Tribtion.


    But now...


    Gao Wufeng was on the verge of madness.


    She, too, had decided to give up voluntarily.


    The other evolvers had also experienced sessive failures in their cultivation during this period.


    The small group from before now only had Lin Yuan persisting.From the perspective of results, the few of them had gained nothing over these years.


    And due to the evolution pathways contained within their cultivated bodies, their mental wills were all affected to some extent.


    Even though it wasn''t as severe as Gao Wufeng''s case, it still required a significant amount of time and treasures to recover.


    Contrastingly, Lin Yuan...


    All he sought was to use the pressure of his mental will to temper his own.


    Now, it seemed to be paying off.


    Though...


    In the eyes of Zuoqiu Guang and the others...


    Tempering one''s mental will didn''t seem like a difficult task.


    But at leastpared to themselves, Lin Yuan not only remained unharmed but also gained something.


    One before, one after.


    Forming a stark contrast.


    "I''m just not cultivating, that''s all," Lin Yuan sighed.


    Actually, abstaining from cultivation sounded easy.


    But in practice, it was extremely difficult, especially when the path to ultimate evolutiony right in front of you.


    Who could resist not cultivating?


    The delicacies wereid out on the table, could you resist just eating in rice?


    Lin Yuan could control himself because he had Unrivaled Insight and the Gateway of the Myriad Realms. He believed that even without relying on that fragmentary body, he could find a way to be the strongest.


    But others didn''t have that ability.


    Even the offspring of the strongest had to strive when faced with such opportunities.


    "No wonder the rules set by the strongest are to divide evolvers into batches, toe in andprehend, rather than all at once," Lin Yuan thought.


    If they allprehended simultaneously, what if there were collective problems? Wouldn''t it affect the entire human civilization?


    Even though the primaryprehenders of the fragmentary body were mostly seventh-rank evolvers, if too many of them disappeared at once, it would easily cause turmoil.


    But with batchesing in, this problem wouldn''t exist.


    If one batch encountered issues, they could simply suspend the opening of the fragmentary body until most of them were healed, then open it again one by one.


    "The further one cultivates along the pathway contained within this fragmentary body, the greater the impact on oneself, especially in the case of cultivation failure," Lin Yuan nced at the fragmentary body under the sky.


    If the failure urred right after beginning cultivation, it probably wouldn''t have much impact, at most requiring some time to recuperate.


    But if, like Gao Wufeng, one achieved a certain level of sess and then failed again, it wouldn''t be a matter of just taking a break for a while.


    Therefore, Zuoqiu Guang''s voluntary choice to give up was based on this consideration. At least for now, giving up would incur a much lighter costpared to being forced to give up after a cultivation failure in the future.


    Gao Wufeng was a case in point.


    "If Iprehend a certain pathway of evolution through cultivation, relying on my Unrivaled Insight, perhaps I could go much further than Gao Wufeng, but once I fail, the consequences would be dire," Lin Yuan shuddered slightly.


    "I cannot cultivate."


    "Evenprehending must be done with extreme caution."


    Lin Yuan frowned slightly, thinking to himself.


    At the main star of the Red Kun Lineage...


    Lin Yuan disconnected from the virtual world and decided to rest for a while.


    "Breaking Boundary Source Power."


    Lin Yuan''s mind reached deep into his thoughts, looking towards the grand and majestic Gateway of the Myriad Realms.


    At the same time, Lin Yuan sensed the numerous pieces of information transmitted by the Gateway of the Myriad Realms.


    "Five strands of Breaking Boundary Source Power."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    Over these years, he hadn''t been transmigrating back and forth; he had beenprehending the fragmentary body, honing his mental will. Unknowingly, he had umted five strands of Breaking Boundary Source Power.


    "If it weren''t for the Yin Spirit always being on the battlefield of the foreign races, the Breaking Boundary Source Power now would be at most three or four strands,"


    Lin Yuan looked up, towards a direction where he had chosen a battlefield of the foreign races, specifically for the Yin Spirit to go there, staying under a permanent spatial rift to elerate the umtion of the Breaking Boundary Source Power.


    "Five strands of the Breaking Boundary Source Power, enough for five transmigrations trips, but these five trips are all random, unable to choose the category and level of the worlds," Lin Yuan pondered.


    The notion of ''random transmigrations'' left Lin Yuan feeling uncertain. If he were to transmigrations to a lower-tier world simr to the first transmigration, not only would he not be stronger, he wouldn''t even be able to restore his peak strength. Wouldn''t that be wasting a transmigration opportunity?


    "If I don''t transmigrate randomly, I have two options now," Lin Yuan rubbed his chin.


    One was to go to the Spirit Realm. During Lin Yuan''s fifth transmigration trip, he obtained coordinates about the Spirit Realm from the Central Divine Continent. By spending ten strands of the Breaking Boundary Source Power, Lin Yuan could silently descend to the Spirit Realm. (Immortal Realm)


    Given the level of the Spirit Realm, it would be sufficient for Lin Yuan to cultivate for quite a long time, at least not needing to consider reaching the eighth rank, or even the ninth rank.


    The second option is to develop the Azure World in depth, to be precise, the extraterritorial void of the Azure World, where the evil gods are rampant, and there are even legendary evil gods who have grown to the ninth stage, to establish a gathering ce.


    Of course.


    There''s a third option.


    That is to expend a hundred strands of the Breaking Boundary Source Power.


    "Customize" the world you transmigrate to.


    The so-called "customization" is entirely ording to Lin Yuan''s requirements.


    For example, if Lin Yuan wants to transmigrations to a primordial great world, he can directly customize it and then transmigrate.


    If Lin Yuan wants to specify the "category" and "level" of the world he transmigrate to, he can also customize it.


    Of course, the starting point for "customized" transmigration is a hundred strands of the Breaking Boundary Source Power. If the customized world is special, the consumption will be even greater.


    But overall, as long as the Breaking Boundary Source Power is sufficient, Lin Yuan can go to any world. No dimensions can stop him.


    "Azure World."


    Thinking of the Azure World, Lin Yuan nned to receive the information transmitted by the Azure World.


    Among Lin Yuan''s six transmigrations, the Azure World was definitely the one he grasped the most deeply, even the world consciousness was reced.


    With the Primordial Demon Tree, who controlled the Heavenly Dao, Lin Yuan could barely receive information from the Azure World through the world coordinates imprinted by the Gateway of the Myriad Realms.


    "Hmm?"


    "So many things have happened over the years?"


    Lin Yuan''s mind converged on the world coordinate imprint of the Azure World.


    Suddenly, arge amount of information from the Primordial Demon Tree poured into his mind.


    Since the end of the sixth transmigration until now, only a few years have passed in the main world.


    But for the Azure World, due to the different flow rates of time, it has been thousands of years.


    During these thousands of years, the beings of the Azure World have been doing well, but those few extraterritorial evil gods have repeatedlye forward, wanting to contact Lin Yuan.


    But they were all sent away by the Primordial Demon Tree ording to Lin Yuan''s instructions.


    "Those few extraterritorial evil gods..."


    Lin Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly. He had sensed that those few extraterritorial evil gods were not right at the time. How could they want to invite him to explore some void secrets?


    "As long as the Primordial Demon Tree is in charge of the world, there is no fear."


    Lin Yuan didn''t care at all.


    The Primordial World Tree had be the ''Heavenly Dao'' of the Azure World. It was notparable to the original world consciousness. It could still harness the immense power of the world. Even if ten extraterritorial evil gods came to kill, the Primordial Demon Tree could still contend.


    Time passed.


    Another year passed.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain, observing the fragmentary body under the sky.


    [Your insight defies the heavens, observing the mysterious body,prehending the three thousand three hundred and thirty-first evolutionary path]


    "The three thousand three hundred and thirty-first evolutionary path."


    Lin Yuan''s eyes sparkled slightly, immediately starting to analyze this evolutionary path.


    "This is called the evolutionary path, and it''s actually rted to time? Thebination of time and space? The essence of time and space?"


    Lin Yuan was amazed.


    The rules of time, like the rules of space and life, were one of the main rules of the main world.


    Butpared to the rules of space and life, the rules of time were even harder toprehend. Toprehend theplete rules of time, only the strongest could do it.


    The ''resurrection'' ability of the strongest was based on reversing time and space, which required aplete mastery of the rules of time, breaking free from the shackles of the river of time, reversing against the current, and then resurrecting the person from the past.


    Of course, the person resurrected must have reached a certain level of essence, otherwise, if the essence of life is too weak, even if the strongest person goes against the current, they cannot ''pick it up'' and ce it on the current timeline.


    "The rules of time."


    Lin Yuan carefully pondered. Time was intangible and formless, yet it was everywhere. It was too difficult toprehend time. Especially now that Lin Yuan was only at the seventh rank.


    The level was too low. Even with his defying insight, the effect would be minimal.


    "Forget it."


    "Wait until the eighth rank toprehend."


    "Now, focus all efforts onprehending the rules of space."


    "Only with a deep enough understanding of the rules of space can one betterprehend the rules of time."


    Lin Yuan gave upprehending the rules of time, which was too uneconomical for himself.


    Time passed slowly.


    More and more human evolver geniuses entered the virtual world toprehend the fragmentary body.


    These evolver geniuses, because they cameter, knew the oue of the first evolvers whoprehended the fragmentary body.


    But not a single evolver gave up. Since they could be called evolver geniuses, they were extremely confident, believing that what others couldn''t do, they could definitely do.


    "I am the ethereal body, and I am highly valued by the Goddess of Wisdom, who hides and keeps information about me. I am sure toprehend the strongest evolutionary path."


    In a certain virtual world, a young man sat on the mountaintop, looking up at the fragmentary body under the sky.


    Several monthster.


    "Who am I?"


    "Where am I?"


    "What should I do now?"


    The young man looked confused, and his body exploded with a bang.


    "This is the path of the strongest evolution. I have reached the peak of the eighth rank. There is almost no hope of stepping into the ninth rank. It is impossible to even reach the invincibility of the eighth rank."


    "Instead of that, it''s better to take a risk, give up everything, andprehend the fragmentary body. Once sessful, I will be cultivated by the entire human civilization."


    A venerable old man made up his mind.


    Then he applied to the Goddess of Wisdom toprehend the fragmentary body.


    One yearter.


    The venerable old man sat on the top of the mountain.


    Looking at the fragmentary body under the sky.


    His expression was extremely solemn.


    "This isn''t right."


    "The body is not right."


    "The evolutionary path I am cultivating is not right."


    The venerable old man kept reminiscing about something, feeling that a segment of his memory was beginning to fade.


    This sign even showed signs of spreading.


    "This body is too demonic. How could the strongest release such an uncontroble thing?"


    The venerable old man steadied himself and decided to give upprehension.


    Continuing toprehend and cultivate, he felt that all his memories would be wiped out.


    By then, he might be a puppet without any memories?


    "This body of mine, not long ago, took over a special life, with powerful innate talents, far surpassing humans. By using him toprehend that body, I should be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."


    A green-skinned man with dragon horns on his forehead smiled.


    In terms of innate talent, humans could neverpare to those special lives deep in the starry sky.


    Of course, whenparing as a whole poption, if it was individual, with the poption base of human civilization, monsters and prodigies would emerge every so often, no less than those special lives.


    However.


    Within the special life groups, there would also be genius prodigies.


    And this green-skinned man with dragon horns, his possession target was a genius from a certain special life group.


    Hisprehension of various rules was extremely terrifying, and his vitality and blood were unparalleled, making him formidable.


    In order toprehend the path of the strongest evolution, this green-skinned man with dragon horns had paid a huge price. It was not easy to capture such a genius from a special life group alive.


    A year and a halfter.


    The expression of the green-skinned man with dragon horns was ugly, and his spiritual consciousness was shrouded inyers of vague shadows.


    "Is this a heart demon?"


    "Damn it, isn''t it said that only a very small number of evolutionary paths would attract heart demons?"


    The green-skinned man with dragon horns breathed a sigh of relief. He was already an eighth-rank evolver, with a spiritual willpower index exceeding ten thousand points. Passing the heart demon ordeal again was not difficult.


    "Shit, this is the ninth-rank heart demon test."


    After a moment, the green-skinned man with dragon horns let out a howl.


    "The geniuses of human civilization are too many."


    Lin Yuan sat on the mountaintop, watching batch after batch of human genius evolverse in.


    These evolvers might not match Lin Yuan in terms of insight, but in other aspects, such as physique, bloodline, soul, and so on, they had unique characteristics.


    And this was just the virtual world where Lin Yuan was located.


    In addition to this virtual world, there were countless other virtual worlds where one couldprehend that body.


    "Unfortunately, they all failed."


    "So far, none of the genius evolvers who participated inprehending the body has found that path of the strongest one."


    Lin Yuan silently pondered in his mind.


    "Maybe the strongest ones were wrong? Maybe this body doesn''t contain the so-called path of the strongest one at all?"


    "Or maybe, the body containing the path of the strongest is not this one, but the bodies in the hands of other peak groups?"


    Lin Yuan spected.


    "But what does this have to do with me?"


    "I never hoped toprehend that path of the strongest one in the first ce."


    "Comprehending and analyzing the ordinary evolutionary paths contained within the body, I am already satisfied."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts converged as he continued to observe the fragmentary body under the sky.


    [Your insight defies the heavens, observing the mysterious body,prehending the three thousand three hundred and thirty-third evolutionary path]


    It''s unknown how long passed.


    Lin Yuanprehended another evolutionary path.


    With the addition of this new evolutionary path to the one he had startedprehending, Lin Yuan had nowprehended three thousand three hundred and thirty-three evolutionary paths.


    "Analyze."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    However.


    Before Lin Yuan could analyze this evolutionary path.


    Boom.


    In Lin Yuan''s memory, the third thousand three hundred and thirty-second evolutionary path he hadprehended before and this third thousand three hundred and thirty-third evolutionary path unexpectedly underwent some kind of mutation.


    Vaguely, these three thousand three hundred and thirty-three evolutionary paths formed a mark of the ''Nine-Story ck Tower'', integrating into the depths of his soul.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan was surprised.


    The next moment.


    The mental pressure emanating from that fragmentary body, which had caused Lin Yuan great pressure, the murmurs that were previously indistinct suddenly became clear.


    "Comprehend the three thousand three hundred and thirty-three evolutionary paths, form the Devil Jade Mark, and automatically be an ordinary member of the Devil Jade Tower."

 Chapter 226

    Chapter 226


    "Regr member of the Devil Jade Tower?"


    "Devil Jade Tower?"


    Lin Yuan was surprised. How did he inexplicably join the Devil Jade Tower?


    Afterprehending the 3,333 paths of evolution, Lin Yuan found it incredible. He had onlyprehended them; he hadn''t even practiced them. How did they know he had achieved it?


    "Devil Jade Tower."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts were turbulent. At his current level, he was slightly famous in the main world''s notable ns and forces. Even if he didn''t understand, he had probably heard of them. However, until today, he had never heard the three words "Devil Jade Tower."


    "Is it rted to the owner of this body? From outside the main world?"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    "Why is it called the Devil Jade Tower?"The clear murmurs Lin Yuan heard weren''t in any knownnguage, but he could inexplicably understand their meaning. The name Devil Jade Tower didn''t sound like a positive force.


    And if the body of the powerful being from beyond the main world was rted to the Devil Jade Tower, why did they die?


    Lin Yuan''s mind was filled with many doubts.


    "The Devil Jade Mark."


    Lin Yuan began to carefully examine his soul.


    Afterprehending the 3,333 paths of evolution, these paths underwent a change, condensing into the so-called "Devil Jade Mark," which made Lin Yuan automatically be a member of the Devil Jade Tower.


    So that "Devil Jade Mark" should be the key.


    Lin Yuan remembered that this mark finally merged into his soul.


    "Found it."


    Lin Yuan quickly found a "Nineyer ck Tower" mark deep in his soul.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan''s mind merged into this mark and immediately received arge amount of information.


    "So that''s how it is."


    Lin Yuan pondered thoughtfully.


    To be a member of the Devil Jade Tower, there were two ways. The first way was to cultivate any of the paths contained within the body. Each path had significant ws and hidden dangers. By cultivating and perfecting it, oveing various obstacles, one could automatically be a regr member of the Devil Jade Tower.


    The second way, like Lin Yuan, was to not cultivate but toprehend. Afterprehending the 3,333 paths of evolution, it would trigger a certain critical point, condensing the Devil Jade Mark, and automatically be a member of the Devil Jade Tower.


    These two methods primarily tested two aspects. The former tested whether the evolver could ovee numerous obstacles on a thorny path and reach the end. Thetter tested the evolver''s insight and mental willpower.


    Lin Yuan deduced, "The owner of this body should be a powerful figure from the Devil Jade Tower."


    "But I wonder why they perished. Their body carried many ''wed'' paths of evolution from the Devil Jade Tower."


    "Perhaps it''s not urate to say they carried them; perhaps this powerful figure practiced them, which is why we couldprehend them."


    Lin Yuan inferred.


    "And this ''Devil Jade Mark.''"


    Lin Yuan, with the help of this mark, faintly sensed a mysterious space.


    This mysterious space was not in the main world. The "Devil Jade Mark" acted like a key, allowing Lin Yuan to enter if he wished.


    At the same time, Lin Yuan received a warning.


    "Do not enter the Devil Jade Space until reaching the eighth rank limit!"


    "The Devil Jade Space?"


    "I can only enter at the eighth rank limit?"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. Although the world inside his body had a radius of over one hundred thousand miles and wasn''t much weaker than an eighth rank peak evolver, who knows what aspect the Devil Jade Space tested? What if it wasn''t the world inside his body?


    So¡ª


    Although Lin Yuan was very curious about the Devil Jade Space, he also felt that he should obediently wait until he reached the eighth rank limit before considering exploration.


    "After condensing the Devil Jade Mark, did it not attract anyone else''s attention?"


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes and looked around. He found that other evolvers were still struggling toprehend the body, and asionally, an evolver''s body would copse, quickly reced by a new one.


    "Can I continue toprehend?"


    Lin Yuan looked at the body and found that it still tested theprehension of more paths of evolution.


    "I can feel that myprehension speed has increased, and my mental will has also been improved to a certain extent. Is it because of that ''Devil Jade Mark''?"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The Devil Jade Mark not only acted as a key but also stabilized Lin Yuan''s soul and even his mental will, like a divine needle, almost equivalent to an eighth-rank soul defense treasure guarding him.


    "It''s so incredible."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. Just a mark could have the effect of an eighth-rank soul defense treasure? The origin of this Devil Jade Tower was absolutely unimaginable.


    In the Virtual World of Cann Star.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared, looking at his parents and sister.


    "Big brother," Lin Yi said "you haven''t seen us for a long time. Mom and Dad often miss you."


    Lin Yuan nced at his parents, feeling apologetic. "I''ve been busytely."


    Toprehend the body, Lin Yuan had spent most of his time on it, causing him to not see his family for almost a year or two.


    "It''s okay, Little Yuan. You''re now the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Star Domain. It''s normal to be busy," Mother Lin Qiong shook her head.


    She would at most asionally miss him, and naturally wouldn''t interfere with Lin Yuan''s affairs.


    The four of them sat down and chatted casually.


    Although Lin Yuan held a high position, his rtionship with his parents and sister was extraordinary. Moreover, Lin Yuan intentionally restrained his aura, so his parents and sister didn''t feel anything ufortable.


    "What level are the participants in the arenapetition? There are hardly any third-rank evolvers. It''s far worse than the arenapetition you participated in, Little Yuan."


    Father Lin Shoucheng talked about the recent hot events.


    And couldn''t help but startining.


    "Hahaha, don''t you know about this? Many talented evolvers from Cann Star are participating in the arenapetition of the neighboring star domain because the Red Kun Star Lord''s attention will be focused there this time," Lin Yi said.


    Although she was only a first-rank evolver now, she had a peak master brother, so she knew many secrets.


    "Arenapetition?" Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.


    "Our Little Yuan is still the champion of thest arenapetition on Cann Star," Mother Lin Qiong said with a smile.


    "Arenapetition champion." Lin Yuan''s thoughts drifted, feeling somewhat strange.


    The arenapetition of the Star Alliance was held every fifteen years. Lin Yuan still vividly remembered the many opponents he encountered when he participated in thepetition.


    At that time, he was only at the third or fourth rank. In order to study the opponents'' paths of evolution, he intentionally prolonged the duration of thepetition and gained the title of "Torture King."


    In a blink of an eye, he had reached the seventh rank limit. He was only half a step away from stepping into the eighth rank. In terms of true strength, he could crush the vast majority of eighth-rank evolvers.


    His citizenship level had also reached level seven, making him a "legitor" of the entire Star Alliance. Even the ordinary Star Lords in the star domain were polite to him.


    "It''s been fifteen years already." Lin Yuan muttered to himself.


    To be precise, these fifteen years were the fifteen years of the main world, the fifteen years his parents and sister had experienced.


    As for Lin Yuan, if the time spent traversing worlds was added, it would be far more than fifteen years. It was estimated to be over a thousand years.


    "With my current identity, when the teacher opens the test world, I will watch the evolvers pass with my fellow senior brothers. I was one of those evolvers back then," Lin Yuan thought silently.


    In just fifteen years, Lin Yuan had undergone a change in identity.


    After chatting with his family for a while, Lin Yuan disconnected from the virtual world and returned to reality.


    "Original Essence Gold."


    Lin Yuan''s mind moved slightly, and a fist-sized "bell-shaped" weapon appeared in front of him.


    This "bell-shaped" weapon was precisely the Original Essence Gold, which had been nurtured for hundreds of years in the Azure World and had roughly taken shape. Plus, after Lin Yuan''s continuous shaping in the main world over the years, the Original Essence Gold was now almostpletely formed and could be used as a weapon.


    "Guard the body and soul."


    Lin Yuan''s requirement for this piece of Original Essence Gold was defense, extreme defense.


    Hum!


    The palm-sized "bell-shaped" weapon quickly rose and came to Lin Yuan''s head, hanging downyers of light screens, enveloping Lin Yuan inside.


    "Not bad, not bad."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    With the current defensive ability of this "bell-shaped" weapon, most eighth-rank evolvers would find it difficult to break Lin Yuan''s defense, unless they were at the peak of the eighth rank or like the teacher, the Red Kun Star Lord, an invincible existence at the eighth rank.


    Just as Lin Yuan was ying with the "bell-shaped" weapon.


    The Red Kun Star Lord suddenly sent a message, asking Lin Yuan toe over.


    "Teacher?"


    Lin Yuan stood up and quickly came to the crimson hall.


    "Teacher."


    Lin Yuan slightly bowed.


    He was grateful to the Red Kun Star Lord. The other party did indeed treat him sincerely.


    "This is the soul defense treasure you want to repair. I''ve already entrusted a friend to repair it."


    The Red Kun Star Lord raised his right hand, and a drop of water flew over.


    Finally, it stopped in front of Lin Yuan.


    "Repaired?" Lin Yuan was delighted. The eighth-rank soul defense treasure he obtained from the eighth-rank evolver Ouyin was very damaged, after all, it had withstood an attack from an eighth-rank invincible.


    But no matter how damaged it was, it was still an eighth-rank soul defense treasure. Lin Yuan wouldn''t give it up no matter what.


    Several years ago, Lin Yuan entrusted the teacher, the Red Kun Star Lord, to repair it.


    "I wonder how much it costs?"


    Lin Yuan took the drop of water and carefully observed it for a while, then looked at the Red Kun Star Lord and asked.


    Although repairing an eighth-rank soul defense treasure is much lighter in costpared to creating one from scratch, it''s definitely not an easy task. Otherwise, Lin Yuan would have handled it himself, and there would be no need to ask the Red Kun Star Lord for help.


    "It''s nothing. It''s just a small matter," the Red Kun Star Lord replied nonchntly, not even bothering to inquire about the origin of the water droplet.


    "If you care about these things, you can simply take on a few disciples during the opening of the Seven Star Cave world," the Red Kun Star Lord suggested.


    "The Seven Star Cave world? It seems that there are quite a few geniuses in this arenapetition again?" Lin Yuan remarked.


    In each arenapetition, the Red Kun Star Lord would select a star domain and gather the top ten participants from each''s arenapetition to test whether they could join the Red Kun lineage.


    But there are many different testing worlds, and the Seven Star Cave testing world is not opened after every arenapetition. It is only selected when the number or proportion of geniuses reaches a certain level.


    In thest arenapetition, three outstanding talents were born, including the silver-haired girl, Silver Spirit, who possessed spatial talent, and two other geniuses of the Crimson Mark level.


    "There are indeed some talented youngsters," the Red Kun Star Lord nodded. To him, no matter how strong the talent was, it was just decent. Unless someone like Lin Yuan directlyprehended the essence of the ''Mysterious Yellow'' path of evolution, he basically had no intention of personally taking in disciples.


    "I''ll take a lookter," Lin Yuan replied. If he really saw some suitable evolvers, he wouldn''t mind taking them under the Thirteenth Peak. Of course, initially, Lin Yuan would only ept peripheral disciples. Only if their subsequent performance continued to satisfy him would he gradually elevate them to core disciples and even direct disciples.


    Time passed.


    Half a month flew by in the blink of an eye.


    On this day, in the virtual world, the Red Kun Star Lord once again opened the Seven Star Cave world.


    More than a million evolvers were sent into this world, and countless evolvers, after initial confusion, began to move towards the second and third cave.


    In a mysterious space within the Seven Star Cave world.


    Twelve figures stood casually, precisely the twelve peak masters. At this moment, they were intentionally or unintentionally observing the evolvers undergoing the trial below.


    At this moment, Lin Yuan''s figure appeared.


    "Young junior brother, you''re here."


    "Hahaha, if you find anyone you liketer, just speak up."


    "Yes, but junior brother, you have to leave some for the eldest senior brother. We don''t mind, but the eldest senior brother is about to go to another star domain and needs manpower."


    The peak masters greeted Lin Yuan warmly.


    Lin Yuan responded one by one. The peak masters of the Red Kun lineage were quite united, with no backstabbing or scheming, which was also rted to the character of the Red Kun Star Lord.


    "Over one million evolvers."


    Lin Yuan arrived at his position, overlooking the first and second caves below. The number of testers in this Seven Star Cave trial was half more than the number in Lin Yuan''s trial. There were more than 1.5 million evolvers in total.


    "Last time the Seven Star Cave world opened, I was also one of the more than one million evolvers" Lin Yuan reflected as he gazed down.

 Chapter 227

    Chapter 227


    The test of this generation''s Seven Star Cave indeed revealed many geniuses.


    There were thirteen just among the Crimson Mark test-takers, and nearly a thousand among the Gold Mark ones.


    It should be noted that whether Crimson Mark or Gold Mark, they were all personally recognized by the Red Kun Star Lord, although it couldn''t represent all their potential.


    But to be a Crimson Mark, at least the disyed talent potential would absolutely be at the top among all test-takers.


    And at this moment.


    Under the watchful eyes of Peak Masters such as Lin Yuan.


    Each test-taker exerted themselves, continuously passing throughyer afteryer of star caves, heading towards the final Seventh Star Cave.


    "That Crimson Mark, probably awakened some kind of special fire-type bloodline, with considerable potential, does anyone want them?" Third Senior Brother''s eyes lit up as he asked.


    "I''ll take them.""I don''t cultivate the rules of the fire element."


    "A special bloodline, it seems to be one of those upper-tier fire-type bloodlines."


    Peak Masters spoke one after another.


    Lin Yuan also carefully nced at that Crimson Mark test-taker.


    "Indeed not bad."


    Lin Yuan nodded inwardly.


    Although Lin Yuan didn''t possess any special bloodlines, he couldn''t deny that a superior bloodline constitution indeed provided considerable assistance to cultivation.


    Especially in the early stages, upper-tier bloodlines could even achieve cross-tier battles.


    "Since Third Senior Brother wants them, I won''t contend."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. For Lin Yuan, he was just following the advice of the Red Kun Star Lord, intending to ept a few test-takers.


    As for who exactly, it was uncertain. For the sake of one test-taker, should hepete with his senior brothers? Lin Yuan felt it was unnecessary.


    "I wonder if anyone has passed the ultimate test in the Seven Star Cave this time?" Second Senior Brother sighed and casually remarked.


    The so-called ultimate test was toprehend the surface of the ''Mysterious Yellow'' evolutionary path. Lin Yuan achieved this back then, directly prompting the Red Kun Star Lord, who was in seclusion and not to be disturbed, to actively emerge and personally ept Lin Yuan as the thirteenth disciple.


    It should be noted that before this, the Red Kun Star Lord hadn''t epted disciples for ten thousand years. Ordinary test-takers, even Crimson Marks, couldn''t catch the attention of the Red Kun Star Lord.


    With the talent of Crimson Mark test-takers, at most, they could hope to advance to the Sixth Rank, while among the disciples taught by the Red Kun Star Lord, each one started at the Sixth Rank.


    "The ultimate test?"


    "My Red Kun lineage, for ten thousand years, has only produced our junior brother."


    "Now you want to produce another one? How is that possible?"


    "Yes, how can these test-takerspare with junior brother?"


    The twelve Peak Masters chatted casually. Among those under a hundred years old, Seventh Rank evolvers, there were few even in the entire Star Alliance.


    How could there be consecutive appearances of two in the Red Kun Star Domain?


    Lin Yuan listened to his senior brothers'' conversation on the side, asionally interjecting.


    "Big Senior Brother, when do you n to go to the outer star domains to oversee?" Fourth Senior Brother Zuo Ge asked softly.


    Entering the Eighth Rank, one needed to fulfill the obligations of human civilization and oversee a star domain for five hundred years.


    The star domains here naturally weren''t those within human civilization but were newly opened outer regions.


    The human civilization alliance was expanding continuously, so the territories of human civilization were constantly increasing.


    The star domain that an Eighth Rank evolver needed to oversee was one recently upied by human civilization.


    In these territories, the main enemies were certainly eradicated by the strong of human civilization, but there would still be some remnants of ethnic groups and forces.


    It depended on the choices of the star lords overseeing these star domains, whether to integrate these remnants into human civilization or to continue eradicating them, all depending on the star lord''s intentions.


    Each star lord''s governing philosophy was different. Some star lords hoped for universal unity among the cosmos, while others believed in "those not of our kind have different hearts".


    "After this round of Seven Star Cave tests is over, I will set out." Big Senior Brother said.


    The danger on the edges of human civilization was not low, but Eighth Rank evolvers were not soft targets either. Wanting topletely kill an Eighth Rank evolver? It was very difficult, and by the time one reached the Eighth Rank, they basically had avatars.


    The strongest of human civilization had long ago made a promise to encourage Eighth Rank evolvers to oversee the bordering star domains. Anyone who died at the hands of other races during the five hundred years of overseeing a star domain would be ''resurrected''.


    Tens of thousands of years ago, the Red Kun Star Lord oversaw the Red Kun Star Domain, which was actually the bordering star domain of human civilization back then.


    It''s just that after so many years of expansion, the Red Kun Star Domain, which was originally on the edge of the frontier, was now located within the territory of human civilization.


    Time passed.


    One by one, test-takers finally entered the Seventh Star Cave, beginning to fullyprehend the more than one hundred stone statues.


    And after observing all the way, Lin Yuan and the Peak Masters roughly selected the test-takers.


    For the Peak Masters, only when selecting Crimson Mark test-takers would they inform each other. There were exactly thirteen Crimson Mark test-takers, one for each Peak Master.


    As for the Gold Mark and Silver Mark test-takers? They barely exchanged greetings because there were too many of them.


    Even if a rare event urred where two Peak Masters selected the same Gold Mark test-taker, it would be left for the Gold Mark test-taker to choose which Peak Master to join.


    Of course, if they encountered some special Gold Mark test-takers, a Peak Master might inform the others in advance, but such cases were rare.


    Normally, the hope for Gold Mark test-takers to advance to the Sixth Rank was much smaller than that of Crimson Mark test-takers.


    "Junior Brother, have you made your selection?"


    Second Senior Brother looked curiously at Lin Yuan.


    "It''s almost done. I''ve selected three this time." Lin Yuan nodded.


    Not all test-takers could be selected by the Peak Masters. The vast majority of test-takers would not be selected but would be members of the Red Kun lineage and, through efforts after joining, join under a certain Peak Master.


    Just like ''Fang Qing'' back then, he didn''t join any Peak Master at first.


    And the three Crimson Mark test-takers from the same year were chosen by several Peak Masters early on.


    Being chosen early by Peak Masters was equivalent to avoiding many detours.


    "What three?" Several senior brothers suddenly became interested.


    They wanted to know which three test-takers their talented junior brother had chosen.


    "Mo Li, Feng Yu, and Wu Lan." Lin Yuan said directly.


    Mo Li was one of the thirteen Crimson Mark evolvers, and when Lin Yuan chose him, he had already informed the senior brothers.


    As a Crimson Mark evolver, Mo Li''s talent was quite good. He had condensed the ''Heart of Battle'' at the Fourth Rank, far surpassing others of the same rank. Among the thirteen Crimson Marks, he ranked in the top three.


    The Heart of Battle was an expression of a certain realm, proficient inbat, inherently close to the rules of ughter.


    As for Feng Yu and Wu Lan, one was a Gold Mark and the other was a Silver Mark. Lin Yuan had just casually selected them and brought them along if they caught his eye.


    Feng Yu followed the rules of the wind element and was about to reach the threshold, ranking among the top of the Gold Mark test-takers.


    As for Wu Lan, she was a Silver Mark test-taker. The reason Lin Yuan chose her was solely because she followed the path of martial arts evolution.


    Although the path of martial arts evolution was extremely famous in the Red Kun Star Domain, it had appeared for a very short time. Although there were some Third Rank martial arts evolvers, most of them were over a hundred years old.


    Even if they weren''t over a hundred years old, they might not necessarily participate in the Red Kun Star Domain''s arena battles.


    So in this round of the Seven Star Cave test, seeing a Third Rank martial arts evolver was quite rare. Lin Yuan simply chose her on a whim.


    "Junior Brother''s selections seem to follow a pattern," the Peak Masters said, looking at each other with some amusement.


    One Crimson Mark.


    One Gold Mark.


    One Silver Mark.


    He covered all the bases.


    "Just random picks," Lin Yuan chuckled.


    Apart from the Crimson Mark, the remaining two were indeed random picks.


    "Junior Brother, the Gold Mark test-taker you selected seems to ovep with Big Senior Brother?" Second Senior Brother seemed to realize something and hastily said.


    "Ovep?"


    Big Senior Brother was momentarily stunned. "Is it called Feng Yu?"


    "In that case, I''ll give him to Junior Brother." Big Senior Brother said directly.


    Just a Gold Mark. Even if it was a Crimson Mark, if his junior brother wanted it, Big Senior Brother would give way.


    "Big Senior Brother doesn''t need to do this," Lin Yuan said immediately.


    "Let him choose for himself." Lin Yuan thought for a moment and then directly let Big Senior Brother concede. He felt a bit embarrassed.


    "Sure."


    "Let Feng Yu choose for himself." Big Senior Brother said without objection.


    But just a Gold Mark test-taker couldn''tpare to the camaraderie between them as senior brothers.


    Seeing this, the other Peak Masters on the field didn''t find it strange either. Just Gold Mark test-takers, batches of them appeared every fifteen years, which wasn''t a big deal at all.


    All the evolvers who passed the Seven Star Cave test were teleported to a square.


    Time passed.


    In the blink of an eye, the Seven Star Cave test ended.


    At this moment, there were only thousands of test-takers standing on the square.


    From the initial one and a half million to now only thousands, probably only one in a thousand passed.


    And now, these thousands of test-takers were standing there nervously.


    Because what wasing next would be the moment that determined their fate.


    All the scenes of passing through the seven star caves were in the eyes of the thirteen Peak Masters.


    Based on their performances, the thirteen Peak Masters would select a group of people from among them to join their ranks.


    For everyone present, this was an opportunity like a carp leaping over the dragon gate.


    Being able to directly join under a Peak Master, one could gain a decent position within the Red Kun lineage.


    Fang Qing''s figure appeared on the square.


    "The three test-takers that the Peak Master wants to ept..."


    As the current ''steward'' of the thirteenth peak, Fang Qing was specially responsible for many matters on the thirteenth peak.


    After Lin Yuan informed the names of the evolvers who had passed the Seven Star Cave test, it was up to him to inform them.


    "The first one, Silver Mark test-taker Wu Lan."


    Fang Qing walked up to a nervous-looking girl and said gently:


    "The thirteenth Peak Master invites you to join the Thirteenth Peak. If you''re willing, you''ll enter the thirteenth gateter."


    After Fang Qing finished speaking, he pointed to the thirteenth gate in the distance, which belonged to the thirteenth Peak Master.


    "I...I''m willing."


    Wu Lan''s mind went nk for a moment. After reacting, she hurriedly said excitedly.


    Oh my god.


    She was actually chosen by the thirteenth Peak Master.


    As a Silver Mark test-taker, the probability of being chosen by a Peak Master was very low, let alone by the thirteenth Peak Master, who was famous throughout the Red Kun Star Domain and even the Star Alliance?


    Before participating in this arena battle, Wu Lan was already a fan of the thirteenth Peak Master. She didn''t expect to be able to join the Thirteen Peaks at this moment.


    Wu Lan felt a bit dizzy from the sudden benefits falling from the sky.


    The other test-takers around looked at Wu Lan with envy.


    But they could only envy. Who the Peak Masters chose was the Peak Masters'' business.


    After informing Wu Lan, Fang Qing went to the next test-taker, Feng Yu.


    "Do the Peak Master also want me to join?"


    Feng Yu, a handsome young man, hesitated when he heard Fang Qing''s words.


    "Not bad."


    "If you agree, you can walk into the thirteenth gateter."


    After Fang Qing finished speaking, he turned and walked away, heading towards thest test-taker.


    "Thirteenth Peak Master."


    Feng Yu had naturally heard of the Thirteenth Peak Master. He was an extraordinary genius in the Red Kun Star Domain, reaching the Seventh Rank before reaching a hundred years old, which was simply abnormal.


    At the same time, the Thirteenth Peak Master was also the only disciple epted by the Red Kun Star Domain''s master in the past ten thousand years.


    In theory, Feng Yu should be ecstatic to ept the invitation of the Thirteenth Peak Master.


    However, before this, the Grand Peak Master had also sent someone to invite him.


    This made Feng Yu hesitate a bit.


    Although the Grand Peak Master''s talent was not as good as the Thirteenth Peak Master''s.


    But not long ago, he reached the Eighth Rank. Even if the Thirteenth Peak Master''s talent was stronger, who knew how long it would take to go from the Seventh Rank to the Eighth Rank?


    "Thirteenth Peak Master is indeed a top genius, but he''s too young. How could he know how to teach disciples?"


    Feng Yu thought to himself:


    "And the Thirteenth Peak Master is only inviting me to be an outer member of the Thirteenth Peak, while the Grand Peak Master, as long as I join the First Peak, I''ll directly be an inner member. It''s only a matter of time before I be a core member."


    After thinking it over, Feng Yu ultimately decided to choose the Grand Peak Master.


    After all, one was at the Eighth Rank, and the other at the Seventh.


    Most importantly, the Grand Peak Master had experienced so many years and had deeply understood the true teachings of the Red Kun Star Domain''s master. In terms of guiding disciples, he must be far superior to the Thirteenth Peak Master.


    Among the Crimson Mark test-takers.


    Mo Li sat cross-legged, as one of the thirteen Crimson Marks, Mo Li could be said to be one hundred percent valued by the Peak Masters.


    At this moment, Mo Li was pondering who would invite him.


    Compared to Feng Yu, Mo Li''s background was much bigger, and he had a precise analysis of each Peak Master.


    "Thirteenth Peak Master wants you." Fang Qing walked up to Mo Li.


    "Thirteenth Peak Master is inviting me?" Mo Li''s eyes lit up, and he was immediately filled with joy.


    He came from a Seventh Rank force in the Star Alliance. This time, he came to participate in the arena battle specifically to join the Red Kun lineage.


    After analyzing it with the elders in his force, they believed that it would be best for him to be a disciple of the Thirteenth Peak Master among the Red Kun lineage.


    Although the Grand Peak Master had reached the Eighth Rank first, with the Thirteenth Peak Master''s talent, reaching the Eighth Rank was only a matter of time.


    Moreover, the Thirteenth Peak Master was favored by the Red Kun Star Domain''s master and might be the second master of the Red Kun Star Domain in the future, an unbeatable existence at the Eighth Rank.


    So.


    The earlier he joined under the Thirteenth Peak Master, the more benefits he would receive. This was a great opportunity.


    As the invitations from various Peak Masters'' ''stewards'' werepleted.


    The test-takers began to walk towards the distant thirteen gates.


    From the first gate to the thirteenth gate, each gate represented the first to thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun lineage.


    Swish swish swish.


    After all the test-takers entered the gates, they were teleported to a pavilion.


    "You didn''t choose the Thirteenth Peak Master?"


    Mo Li''s mind was pleased. Being under the Thirteenth Peak Master, he only felt that his future was bright.


    However, when he saw the number ''1'' engraved on Feng Yu''s sleeve, he immediately felt something was off.


    The number on the sleeve represented the test-taker''s choice. Mo Li''s sleeve was engraved with ''Thirteen''.


    But Mo Li remembered that Fang Qing, the steward of the Thirteen Peaks, had invited Feng Yu. Why did he not join the Thirteen Peaks?


    "Lord Mo Li."


    When Feng Yu saw the Crimson Mark test-taker asking him, he immediately respectfully said:


    "I chose the Grand Peak Master."


    "Choosing the Grand Peak Master over the Thirteenth Peak Master."


    Mo Li looked at Feng Yu with some surprise, then turned and left.


    In his heart, he couldn''t help butment:


    "Stupid!"

 Chapter 228

    Chapter 228


    "Lord Mo Li, what does that mean?"


    When Feng Yu saw Mo Li leaving without hesitation, he felt a sense of unease creeping into his heart.


    In terms of background, he was far inferior to Mo Li, merelying from a force that once gave birth to a sixth-rank evolver.


    However, being designated as a "Golden Mark" by the Red Kun Star Lord, Feng Yu was no fool. He knew that the Thirteenth Peak Master had the strongest talent and favor from the Red Kun Star Lord.


    After all, he was the junior disciple.


    But what did that matter?


    No matter how strong the talent, it had no direct connection to the ability to teach disciples.


    Many star alliances in human civilization had several eighth-rank invincible beings, but the Red Kun Star Lord was unique because of his talent for teaching disciples.


    Although the Grand Peak Master''s talent was not as strong as the Thirteenth Peak Master''s, he had been with the Star Lord the longest and had already reached the eighth rank, soon to reign over the star domain as the new Star Lord.His choice of the Grand Peak Master, even if the Thirteenth Peak Master surpassed him in the distant future, was definitely not wrong for now.


    However, Feng Yu''s thoughts began to waver when he heard the tone of Mo Li''s inquiry and saw the astonishment in his expression upon learning of Feng Yu''s choice of the Grand Peak Master.


    Was it possible that he had chosen wrong?


    Self-doubt began to creep into Feng Yu''s mind.


    He nced at the "one" digit on his sleeve.


    This digit represented the mark of one of the thirteen Peak Masters, unchangeable once it appeared.


    Perhaps a Crimson Mark Evolver could change it, but as a mere Golden Mark, he definitely couldn''t.


    After all, it involved the dignity of the thirteen Peak Masters. Before entering the thirteen gates, the candidates could make their own choices, but once they entered, it was set.


    "I don''t believe I made the wrong choice."


    "Even if the Thirteenth Peak Master''s talent is extraordinary, it will still take a lot of time to reach the eighth rank, maybe even thousands of years."


    "Before that happens, my choice is the right one."


    "No matter how strong a seventh rank is, it''s still a seventh rank, inferior to the eighth rank."


    Feng Yu steadied himself, feeling that Mo Li''s actions were intentional, aimed at unsettling his state of mind.


    Half a dayter.


    Feng Yu, along with many other candidates, entered the First Peak to meet the Grand Peak Master.


    "Greetings, Peak Master."


    Dozens of Evolvers bowed respectfully to the Grand Peak Master.


    "Rise."


    The Grand Peak Master responded casually.


    Among these candidates, only that Crimson Mark could make him take a second look, while as for Golden Marks? Being chosen to join the First Peak, they were mostly Golden Marks.


    "Grand Peak Master?"


    Feng Yu sneakily nced at the Grand Peak Master.


    "By choosing the Grand Peak Master over the Thirteenth Peak Master, perhaps I''ll be treated differently?" Feng Yu thought to himself, with a hint of anticipation in his heart.


    However...


    To Feng Yu''s disappointment, the Grand Peak Master didn''t spare him a second nce throughout the whole time. Like the other candidates, after listening to the Grand Peak Master''s advice, he was led out.


    "No special treatment?"


    Feng Yu felt a bitter taste in his heart.


    "But there''s no problem."


    "The Grand Peak Master is an eighth-rank Evolver. There are many days ahead."


    "It''s definitely better than choosing the Thirteenth Peak Master."


    Feng Yuforted himself.


    In the virtual world of the Thirteenth Peak.


    Mo Li and Wu Lan walked nervously into the main hall and bowed respectfully to Lin Yuan. "Greetings, Peak Master."


    Lin Yuan sat on the high seat, overlooking these two young candidates.


    One was eighty-seven years old, the other sixty-nine.


    The Evolvers who could participate in the arena were all under a hundred years old, many of them being ny-eight or ny-nine, trying their luck with thest opportunity.


    Although Lin Yuan was younger than these two candidates, his real age was much older, considering the years he had spent traveling through worlds.


    "The poption of the Thirteenth Peak is notrge. Since you have been chosen by me, you will be the people of the Thirteenth Peak from now on." Lin Yuan looked at the two and began to speak.


    "Yes."


    Mo Li and Wu Lan were exhrated and quickly responded.


    Especially Wu Lan, she had never expected that she, a Silver Mark candidate, would be chosen directly by the Peak Master, let alone the greatly renowned Thirteenth Peak Master.


    "As you have just joined the Thirteenth Peak, I will guide you once." Lin Yuan looked at Mo Li and said, "Mo Li, you have condensed the ''Heart of Battle'' and have great talent inbat. Don''t resist."


    "Understood."


    Upon hearing this, Mo Li immediately let go of all defense.


    Hum.


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness immediately began to enter Mo Li''s body.


    Although Mo Li''s body was not his true body at the moment, in the virtual world''s perfect reproduction, there was no difference from his real body.


    Lin Yuan carefully observed Mo Li''s body and soul, and began toprehend based on Mo Li''s expertise in the aspect ofbat.


    [Your insight is unrivaled. You haveprehended an evolving secret art tailored to Mo Li.]


    In just over a dozen breaths, apletely suitable evolving secret art for Mo Li was created by Lin Yuan.


    This evolving secret art was tailored for Mo Li, and while it might have little effect on other Evolvers, for Mo Li, it was a guiding light for the present and future.


    Lin Yuan withdrew his consciousness and looked at Mo Li.


    "Peak Master?"


    Mo Li opened his eyes, feeling somewhat apprehensive.


    "I have a secret art here that is more suitable for you."


    Lin Yuan''s mind moved slightly, and he transmitted the secret art he had justprehended to Mo Li''s mind.


    Comprehending this secret art didn''t require too much effort from Lin Yuan, after all, it didn''t need to be widely applicable. It could be tailored to Mo Li''s specific situation.


    Moreover, Lin Yuan was currently at the peak of the seventh rank, while Mo Li was only at the fourth rank. Under such a high level of guidance, it could be said to be simple and easy.


    "This secret art?"


    Mo Li browsed through the evolving secret arts surging into his mind from Lin Yuan''s brain, and was instantly astonished.


    He could feel that this secret art was extremely suitable for him, as if it had been tailor-made for him.


    This was simply unbelievable.


    It was worth noting that while evolving secret arts were not as impactful to Evolvers as the path of evolution, they still had a crucial influence.


    But choosing a suitable evolving secret art toprehend often resulted in achieving twice the result with half the effort.


    However, with evolving secret arts as vast as fireworks, finding one that suited oneself was a huge challenge.


    Each Evolver''s situation was different, their experiences varied, and their physiques were vastly different, even for eighth-rank invincibles like the Red Kun Star Lord.


    Selecting a suitable evolving secret art for a disciple also required time for observation.


    Even so, the evolving secret art finally chosen might not bepletely suitable.


    To find an evolving secret art thatpletely suited oneself required even more luck.


    But now, Mo Li felt that the evolving secret art bestowed upon him by the Thirteenth Peak Master was perfectly tailored to him.


    This made him simply incredulous.


    "Wrong, wrong, outsiders all think that the Thirteenth Peak Master is just an abnormally talented individual, but now, seeing the methods the Peak Master uses to teach his disciples..."


    Mo Li was excited in his heart, but didn''t know how to describe it. Just by observing him for a while, the Peak Master had selected an evolving secret art that waspletely tailored to him. This method was beyond the norm.


    What Mo Li didn''t know was that this secret art was not chosen by Lin Yuan at all, but wasprehended based on the state of his body and soul right there on the spot.


    "This secret art is a secret transmission of my Thirteenth Peak. Don''t spread it." Lin Yuan saw Mo Li dazed and reminded him.


    "Yes."


    "Thank you, Peak Master, for your great kindness."


    Mo Li immediately realized and directly knelt down to kowtow.


    The most important thing for a teacher to teach a disciple was guidance. Lin Yuan had chosen an evolving secret art that was perfectly tailored to his own body and soul, which was simply a great favor.


    Why would Mo Li not know the kindness bestowed upon him by Lin Yuan?


    "En."


    Lin Yuan nodded and looked towards Wu Lan beside him.


    "Peak Master." Wu Lan immediately shouted nervously.


    Mo Li''s performance made her panic. As the most ordinary Silver Mark candidate, facing someone like Mo Li, a Crimson Mark, was already quite pressured.


    Now, seeing the excitement in his expression, as if he had achieved enlightenment, Wu Lan was even more at a loss.


    "Are you practicing the path of martial evolution?" Lin Yuan looked at Wu Lan and asked.


    Through watching Wu Lan''s test video in the Seven Stars Cave world, Lin Yuan knew the path she was taking.


    Of course, Wu Lan''s ultimate choice of rules direction was not Yin and Yang, but the basic water rule within the Five Elements.


    "Yes."


    Wu Lan immediately responded.


    The path of martial evolution was popr in the Red Kun Star Domain, but there weren''t many strong practitioners, after all, it had only been born recently.


    "Water moistens all things without sound. Your future path should be based on the water rule, and you shouldprehend the other four forms of gold, wood, fire, and earth."


    After pondering for a while, as the founder of the path of martial evolution, there was probably no Evolver in the world who understood martial arts better than him. At a nce, he formted a follow-up practice n for Wu Lan.


    At the same time.


    Lin Yuan pointed with his right hand and transmitted an evolving secret art to Wu Lan''s mind.


    If Wu Lan couldprehend the depth of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth at the sixth rank and master the basics of spatial rules,prehending the basic spatial models.


    There would be a chance to open a small world of the five elements at the peak of the sixth rank. But Lin Yuan felt that with Wu Lan''s current talent and aptitude, it would be difficult to achieve this.


    But if the sixth rank wasn''t enough, then the seventh rank, with the five elements plus spatial rules, the method of ''opening up the world'' was basically set, and there would be no major problems in Wu Lan''s future path.


    "This..."


    Wu Lan widened her eyes. The evolving secret art transmitted to her mind by Lin Yuan was like a pearl of wisdom, as if it were the essence of martial evolution.


    At this moment, Wu Lan finally understood why Mo Li, as a Crimson Mark candidate, would show such an expression.


    This was seeing the path of one''s future, the excitement of enlightenment at dawn.


    "Thank you, Peak Master, for your guidance."


    Wu Lan also knelt down without hesitation and kowtowed.


    "Alright."


    "Both of you, practice well."


    Lin Yuan waved his hand, signaling for the two to leave.


    It wasn''t until Mo Li and Wu Lan had departed that Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze.


    "I hope you two don''t disappoint me," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Red Kun Main Star.


    Deep within the Thirteenth Peak Hall.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his mind observing the ''Devil Jade Mark'' imprinted in his soul.


    "The mysterious space connected by this Devil Jade Mark."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts spread out, faintly sensing the existence of a vast and mysterious space.


    This mysterious space waspletely closed off. Even if one sensed its existence, they couldn''t enter it. Even the strongest individuals were no exception. Only by having the Devil Jade Mark as the key could one explore it.


    "In fact, the current Evolvers of human civilization,prehending the evolving paths contained within the body of the strongest one, this approach isn''t wrong," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    To condense the Devil Jade Mark, one needed to do it through two methods.


    One was like Lin Yuan,prehending the 3,333 evolving paths.


    The second was to choose one evolving path to cultivate, continuously perfecting and supplementing it along the way. Eventually, one could also condense the Devil Jade Mark.


    Currently, most Evolvers of human civilization were using the second method.


    However, so far, no Evolver had seeded. Most Evolvers even failedpletely.


    As for the first method, Lin Yuan possessed extraordinaryprehension, which was difficult for the Evolvers of the Human Alliance to replicate.


    "Better inform the Goddess of Wisdom. At least, it''s another avenue," Lin Yuan decided.


    ording to the rules set by the Three Goddesses, as long as it could be of assistance to the Human Alliance, one would receive merit points as a reward.


    The Human Alliance wouldn''t mistreat any Evolver who made contributions.


    "Goddess of Wisdom."


    Lin Yuan directly connected to the Goddess of Wisdom.


    "Respected Level Seven Citizen Lin Yuan, the Goddess of Wisdom is pleased to serve you."


    The solemn and cold voice of the Goddess of Wisdom came through.


    "I have information about the body from therge-scale alien battlefield," Lin Yuan said immediately.


    With this statement, there was an obvious moment of silence from the Goddess of Wisdom.


    Clearly, she hadn''t anticipated that Lin Yuan would bring up this topic. What''s more, the key issue was, the intelligence rted to the body of an ultra-powerful being from beyond the world.


    "Level Seven Citizen Lin Yuan, please continue," the Goddess of Wisdom responded.


    Lin Yuan could perceive the seriousness in the tone of the Goddess of Wisdom, and he even had a feeling that her primary consciousness had descended at this moment.


    "I don''t know the specifics."


    "I''m only aware that there are two ways toprehend the secrets within that body. One is to cultivate andprehend the evolving path and follow it to the end."


    "The second is not to cultivate any evolving paths but toprehend the 3,333 evolving paths within that body."


    Lin Yuan concealed the part about the Devil Jade Mark and the Devil Jade Tower. Until he was certain which faction the Devil Jade Tower belonged to, Lin Yuan felt it was better not to reveal that information.


    Anyway, he had already stated the methods, which was fair enough as a human.


    "Level Seven Citizen Lin Yuan, please wait a moment," the Goddess of Wisdom said before falling silent.


    Lin Yuan understood that the Goddess of Wisdom was confirming the authenticity of the intelligence he had provided.


    The Three Goddesses were not fools. Lin Yuan couldn''t expect them to believe whatever he said without verification.

 Chapter 229

    Chapter 229


    "Who knows how much merit points this intelligence is worth," Lin Yuan thought, feeling somewhat hopeful since experiencing the privileges of a Level Seven Citizen.


    Lin Yuan wanted to advance to a Level Eight Citizen as soon as possible.


    In the entire Annan Star Alliance, in this era, there was only one Level Eight Citizen, and that was the Chief Senator of the Star Alliance. (There are many Star Alliance, Annan is the Star Alliance to which the Red Kun Star Domain belongs)


    Facing a Level Eight Citizen, even invincible beings like the Star Lords of Red Kun and Nine Dragons Star Domains have to show respect.


    Unfortunately, it was extremely difficult for a Level Six Citizen to advance to Level Seven, akin to reaching the heavens. And for a Level Seven Citizen to advance to Level Eight, it was even more daunting.


    At least the Star Lord of Red Kun Star Domain had killed countless alien powerhouses, yet still hadn''t umted enough merit points to advance to Level Eight Citizen.


    Even the evolutionary schrs who had developed aplete Eighth Rank evolution path didn''t all be Level Eight Citizens.


    Lin Yuan knew that the intelligence he was about to provide couldn''t fill the merit points needed for his promotion to Level Eight Citizen.


    But it could somewhat reduce the difficulty of his future advancement to Level Eight Citizen.An hourter, the voice of the Wisdom Goddess came again.


    "Respected Level Seven Citizen Lin Yuan, the intelligence you provided has been assessed to be worth one million five hundred thousand merit points. Would you like it to be distributed now?"


    "One million five hundred thousand merit points?" A smile spread across Lin Yuan''s face.


    Lin Yuan had only earned three million merit points from creating the Seventh Rank Martial Arts Chapter. Yet now, just a piece of intelligence was worth half of that?


    "Distribute it," Lin Yuan said, satisfied.


    He knew that what he said sounded like it helped the evolution of human civilization, finding another way toprehend that body fragment.


    But it was just on the surface.


    How many evolvers could actually achieve that? Comprehending three thousand three hundred and thirty-three evolution paths sounded terrifying. For almost all evolvers, the difficulty of this method was much greater than directly practicing a single evolution path.


    Therefore.


    The Wisdom Goddess''s assessment of this intelligence, worth one million five hundred thousand merit points, exceeded Lin Yuan''s expectations.


    It was like an evolution path. If an evolution path was rated as Ninth Rank or even higher, its value would be immeasurable.


    But if the premise ''unable to cultivate'' was added before this evolution path, its value would inevitably plummet. The intelligence Lin Yuan provided was like this. At least at the current stage, there was no evolver who couldprehend three thousand three hundred and thirty-three evolution paths.


    Even if someone could in the future, it would be a long time from now.


    With Lin Yuan''s agreement, one million five hundred thousand merit points were deposited into his ount.


    "But, if it''s just perfecting andpleting a certain evolution path, and reaching the ultimate stage, even strongest ones can achieve it. In theory, strongest ones should have already condensed the Devil Jade Mark and know the method I mentioned," Lin Yuan suddenly realized.


    "Perhaps the conditions for strongest ones to condense the Devil Jade Mark are different from ours?" Lin Yuan spected. Strongest ones were such existences that merely perfecting andpleting a wed evolution path shouldn''t be difficult for them.


    Based on the difficulty of bing an ordinary member of Devil Jade Tower, the test for strongest ones should be higher, or perhaps strongest ones didn''t start as ordinary members when they joined Devil Jade Tower.


    Several dayster.


    Lin Yuan opened the cosmic star map of the current territory of human civilization.


    "The star domain where Big Senior Brother chooses to reside is located at the southeast edge of the territory of human civilization, where it borders other powerful ns."


    Lin Yuan had long learned from Big Senior Brother where the star domain he was about to go to was.


    The newly opened star domains of human civilization were not like the Red Kun Star Domain, which had been operating for hundreds of thousands of years and was basically considered a stronghold with little danger.


    Star Lords were needed to handle such things as some special life ns upying the territory or some cosmic mysteries.


    These were all tasks awaiting Star Lords.


    A newly promoted Rank Eight Evolver needed to stay in a star domain for five hundred years, not for luxury, but because they truly needed to fight for the civilization of humanity.


    "The ce Big Senior Brother chose is not bad, at least it doesn''t border with peak ns."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. Just bordering with a few powerful ns meant high security because powerful ns basically wouldn''t dare to antagonize human civilization.


    Let alone making a move against a Star Lord. If they made a move today, the stronghold of this powerful n would be leveled by human civilization tomorrow.


    But peak ns were different.


    Of course, normally speaking, human civilization and the other major peak ns restrained each other. Themotion in thest alien battlefield was because the Insect n was pursuing a Supreme Evolution Path.


    So they almost flipped the table. A Supreme Evolution Path, which had already produced a Supreme Evolver, couldpletely change the overall situation of the current alliance of major peak ns. (Supreme Evoler = Strongest One)


    Naturally, the Insect n disregarded everything.


    Even so, the Insect n alliance was also cleared out by human civilization afterward, and many powerful ns within the alliance suffered heavy losses, with the ck Abyss n losing a tenth of its territory.


    When it came to the birth of a Supreme Evolver, the Insect n and other peak ns dared to confront human civilization. As for other aspects, it was unnecessary.


    Although they infiltrated each other, assassinating geniuses from each other''s ns, overall, they were restrained within a certain range.


    "When I reach the Eighth Rank, I also need to choose a star domain to reside in."


    Lin Yuan had exchanged views with Big Senior Brother several times, seeming to care, but in fact, it was also for himself.


    After all, Lin Yuan was now only one step away from the Eighth Rank, and his Spirit Will Index had soared to over nine thousand eight hundred since condensing the Devil Jade Mark.


    The ten thousand point threshold was within reach.


    As long as the Spirit Will Index reaches ten thousand points, Lin Yuan can directly advance to the Eighth Rank.


    "When the timees, my main body will go to the star domain to preside, the Yin Spirit will stay on the alien battlefield toprehend the permanent spatial cracks, the Yang Spirit will stay on the main star of Red Kun, and leave a drop of essence blood," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    "The main body''s strength is the strongest. The purpose of presiding over the star domain is to sweep away all forces. Even if an ident urs and the main body perishes, relying on the divine ability ''Blood Rebirth,'' the drop of essence blood left on the main star of Red Kun can quickly grow and ''return'' in the most perfect manner."


    "I won''t need to use the methods derived from the Yin and Yang Spirits."


    Of course, in order to minimize losses, the main body going to preside over the star domain definitely cannot carry any precious treasures. Otherwise, if they die and lose the treasures, Lin Yuan would still feel heartache.


    The physical body can be reborn, but treasures cannot be recovered.


    "Perhaps I''m overthinking it."


    Lin Yuan pondered for a while, then shook his head slightly.


    ording to the data of the Alliance of Human Civilization, the mortality rate for newly promoted Rank Eight Evolvers going to preside over the border star domains is very low.


    This was the case for ordinary Rank Eight Evolvers as well. Furthermore, considering that Lin Yuan could already overpower most Rank Eights when he was at Rank Seven, and his strength would undergo a significant transformation once he advanced to Rank Eight, he estimated that he could rival those peak Rank Eight extreme powerhouses.


    Virtual world.


    Inside a tavern.


    This tavern was only open to evolvers of Rank Seven or above, and it was a ce for rtively high-level evolvers of human civilization tomunicate.


    Lin Yuan was sitting in the corner, chatting with Gao Wufeng.


    Some time ago, Gao Wufeng nearly went berserk while cultivating the evolution path derived from that body fragment, but was promptly suppressed by the Star Lord of Nine Swords Star Domain, and had barely recovered recently.


    "I finally understand why you, Thirteenth Peak Master, didn''t cultivate the evolution path inside that body fragment. It turns out you were following the second method," Gao Wufeng suddenly realized.


    Not long ago, the Wisdom Goddess announced again that besides directly practicing, there was another way toprehend a certain number of evolution paths from that body fragment.


    The Wisdom Goddess specifically emphasized that this method was too difficult, so it wasn''t announced immediately. Only selected talented evolvers were tested. Now that it was confirmed that there were no problems, it was announced to the public.


    "Hahaha," Lin Yuan shook his head and smiled.


    The Wisdom Goddess had indeed considered it thoroughly. By doing this, she inadvertently concealed Lin Yuan''s identity.


    "I understand. When ites to such secrets, Thirteenth Peak Master, you can''t casually talk about them to outsiders," Gao Wufeng immediately expressed his understanding.


    "But this method is too outrageous. Comprehending a certain number of evolution paths? Under that Spirit Will pressure, it''s hard enough just to maintain sanity, let aloneprehend one evolution path after another," Gao Wufeng shook his head, his tone revealing helplessness.


    Indeed.


    This method was extremely safe.


    At least one''s own Spirit Will wouldn''t be affected by the wrong evolution path.


    But it was basically impossible to achieve. Not cultivating andprehending evolution paths would result in continuous suppression of Spirit Will.


    This suppression didn''t start from weak to strong, but depended on the strength of the evolver''s Spirit Will.


    Even if your Spirit Will Index reached twenty thousand points, under that Spirit Will pressure, it would quickly reach its limit.


    Then, it depended on how long you could persist.


    Before Lin Yuanprehended the body fragment, his Spirit Will Index was only over seven thousand points. After a few years ofprehension, it was almost close to ten thousand points.


    Under the seemingly endless Spirit Will pressure, it was also a kind of tempering for one''s Spirit Will.


    "I haven''tprehended that many," Lin Yuan nodded. He hadn''t seen the end of the evolution paths contained within the body fragment even now. Justprehending over three thousand was just a drop in the ocean.


    "Thirteenth Peak Master, you''re being modest again," Gao Wufeng looked at Lin Yuan somewhat helplessly.


    At the same time, he was also pondering. How many? Being able to say this meant that Thirteenth Peak Master hadprehended at least five or six evolution paths, and maybe even close to ten?


    After chatting with Gao Wufeng for a few moments.


    Lin Yuan returned to the virtual world toprehend the body fragment once again.


    "The Wisdom Goddess actually made the second method public?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    But after a moment of consideration, Lin Yuan understood. Even if this method was made public, what difference would it make? As long as the number of evolution paths required to achieve the goal wasn''t revealed, it wouldn''t matter even if the aliens knew about it.


    Sometimes, the goal was important. If you didn''t know how many evolution paths you needed toprehend to achieve the goal, those alien powerhouses basically wouldn''t be able to persevere.


    After all, the Spirit Will pressure from that body fragment was an extreme torture. Under poor conditions, the speed ofprehension would greatly decrease.


    Lin Yuan had stumbled upon it identally. Originally, he didn''t intend toprehend the Supreme Evolution Path. He just wanted to temper his Spirit Will.


    And with the blessing of Unrivaled Insight, he quicklyprehended over three thousand three hundred and thirty-three paths, eventually condensing the Devil Jade Mark and achieving enlightenment.


    As for others? Almost none could persevere.


    "Let''s continue toprehend."


    Lin Yuan calmed his thoughts and looked up once again at the body fragment under the sky.


    Although Lin Yuan was already a regr member of Devil Jade Tower, since there were regr members, there were also core and even higher-level members.


    If he continued toprehend more evolution paths, could he obtain an elevation in status within Devil Jade Tower?


    Most importantly,prehending the evolution paths within the body fragment was greatly beneficial to Lin Yuan. After analysis, he could integrate the essence into himself.


    And he could continue to enhance his own Spirit Will.


    It could be said to kill three birds with one stone.


    Lin Yuan naturally didn''t want to give up.


    Even if he advanced to Rank Eight soon, he wouldn''t give up on this ce.


    Like this.


    Lin Yuan once again immersed himself inprehension.


    One day, two days.


    One month, two months.


    In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.


    Under the endless pressure of Spirit Will, Lin Yuan''s will seemed to reach its limit, and the outer parts began to copse.


    "Hold on, hold on," Lin Yuan continued to persevere.


    After an unknown amount of time passed, it felt like he had entered a kind of restraint.


    Lin Yuan''s Spirit Will began to undergo a transformation. Originally, his Spirit Will was only an illusionary thing, but now, it emitted a deep light, almost tangible.


    "Phew," Lin Yuan breathed out lightly.


    Just now, he almost couldn''t hold on.


    Fortunately, he didn''t give up in the end.


    "My current Spirit Will," Lin Yuan noticed that his Spirit Will had definitely improved significantlypared to before, which was an important step from illusion to reality.


    "Let''s see what my current Spirit Will Index is."


    Lin Yuan disconnected from the virtual world and, after resting in reality for half a day, entered his personal space in the most perfect state.


    "Wisdom Goddess, I request to measure my Spirit Will Index," Lin Yuan directly connected to the Wisdom Goddess.


    "Respected Level Seven Citizen Lin Yuan, without using any physical or soul power, only relying on your own Mental Consciousness, impact the surroundings," came the solemn and cold voice of the Wisdom Goddess.


    Lin Yuanplied, and a huge Spirit Will pressure swept over the surroundings.


    Faintly, even the air distorted.


    After a moment.


    The voice of the Wisdom Goddess came again.


    "Respected Level Seven Citizen Lin Yuan, after the test, your current Spirit Will Index is approximately around eleven thousand two hundred."


    "So much more?" Lin Yuan''s spirit was uplifted.


    Ten thousand Spirit Will was a threshold, determining whether one could sessfully pass through the Heart Demon Tribtion.


    Simrly, after reaching ten thousand, the difficulty of increasing the Spirit Will Index would skyrocket.


    For Lin Yuan to now have over eleven thousand Spirit Will Index was simply unbelievable.


    With the body of a Rank Seven Evolver, to raise the Spirit Will Index to this level, there were probably not many in the history of human civilization.


    "Spirit Will Index surpasses ten thousand," Lin Yuan''s thoughts converged, and he made a decision.


    "With everything in ce, I''ll directly begin to break through to the Eighth Rank."

 Chapter 230

    Chapter 230


    The index of Spirit Willpower reached over eleven thousand points.


    Passing through the heart demon cmity, one could say it wasn''t particrly difficult.


    However, to be on the safe side and prevent extreme situations from urring, Lin Yuan still intended to confront the heart demon while transmigrating the worlds.


    For over two million years in the Star Sea calendar, various evolutionary schrs of human civilization have conducted detailed research on the heart demon cmity.


    Some schrs believe that when breaking through the Eighth Rank, the ''heart demon'' facedes from the external world, formed by the negative emotions of countless beings.


    Others believe that the so-called ''heart demon'' originates from the obsessions of the evolver themselves.


    To this day, there is no consensus on which is the case.


    Lin Yuan''s choice to confront the heart demon while transmigrating the worlds is aimed at the first scenario.


    The heart demones from the external world.If that''s really the case and Lin Yuan senses that something is amiss, feeling unable to ovee the heart demon cmity, he could easily use the Gate to the Myriad Realms to escape back to the main world.


    No matter how strong the heart demon may be, it cannot cross into dimensional space to pursue him into the main world.


    Of course, with Lin Yuan''s current Spirit Willpower index exceeding eleven thousand points, he doesn''t think such a possibility will ur, but it''s always wise to leave a contingency n.


    "Begin."


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness sank deep into his mind.


    He gazed at the majestic and expansive Gate to the Myriad Realms.


    "The Breaking Boundary Source Power has now umted to seven strands."


    Lin Yuan checked the quantity of Breaking Boundary Source Power. With the blessing of the Yin God on the battlefield of the alien races beside the permanent spatial rift, it only took two hundred and ny days to umte one strand of Breaking Boundary Source Power.


    "Spending one strand of Breaking Boundary Source Power for peace of mind isn''t a loss."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. This time, Lin Yuan''s primary goal is to pass through the heart demon cmity.


    As for continuing to cultivate? Understanding the rules? Perfecting the path of martial arts evolution? All of that can wait.


    "Transmigrate."


    Lin Yuan directly expended one strand of Breaking Boundary Source Power, and his will poured into the Gate to the Myriad Realms.


    "This old man, doesn''t weigh much altogether."


    "At least having something is better than nothing. At least it can make some soup."


    "Sigh, that''s it. But that girl I saw today, she''s really beautiful."


    "Beautiful, so what? In this world now, even if she''s beautiful, she''s not worth a pound of grain."


    Lin Yuan faintly heard some voices. Although he didn''t understand thenguage, he instinctively understood.


    However, his consciousness had just awakened and hadn''t fully adapted yet, so he could only quietly listen to the conversation outside.


    After more than ten breaths.


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness finally stabilized.


    "Hmm?"


    "The Great me Empire? At the end of the dynasty, warlord chaos? People living in misery?"


    Lin Yuan quickly assimted the memories of the original body and understood his current situation.


    The limit of this world is not very high. At least in the memories of the original body, even experts capable of fighting hundreds are extremely rare.


    The Great me Empire has ruled the world for nearly five hundred years, but now it haspletely decayed. Along with various ''rebel armies'' uprising, the entire empire is on the verge of copse.


    The reason for this is that the people simply cannot survive, with continuous disasters and heavier taxes imposed by the court each year.


    Now it has reached the point of cannibalism.


    Just like Lin Yuan now, he''s being treated as meat, and even despised for having too little flesh.


    "My current body."


    Lin Yuan sensed his body, furrowing his brows slightly. First of all, there''s the age; the original body is already over sixty years old, and the physical functions have deteriorated significantly,pounded by being in a state of hunger for a long time.


    It''s even somewhat difficult to stand up now.


    After resting for a while, Lin Yuan, relying on his strong Spirit Willpower, mobilized his blood and qi cirction, barely recovering some strength.


    "This world?"


    Lin Yuan looked around. From the moment his consciousness awakened until now, he hadn''t felt a trace of spiritual energy or vitality.


    "The era of decline?"


    Lin Yuan judged.


    At the same time.


    [Name: Chen Jun (Lin Yuan)]


    [Identity: Guardian of the Gate to the Myriad Realms]


    [Bound Talent: Unrivaled Insight]


    [Divine Ability: Blood Rebirth]


    [Current Status: Consciousness Descended]


    [Remaining Residency Time: Thirty Years]


    "Only thirty years of residency time?"


    "So, the residency in a world depends on the world''s level, not one''s own realm?"


    Lin Yuan appeared contemtive.


    During the previous six transmigrations, Lin Yuan''s residency time increased with each one, leading him to believe that the residency time in transmigrated worlds was rted to his own realm.


    The higher the realm, the longer the residency time.


    However, it now seemed that it depended on the level of the transmigrated world.


    After all, the current world should be only a low martial or even non-martial world, probably weaker than the world Lin Yuan first transmigrated, hence the thirty-year residency time.


    "The transmigration conducted by consuming a strand of Breaking Boundary Source Power ispletely random. In the previous six times, I was lucky, so each transmigration world provided assistance, but this time, luck seems to have run out," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    However, the level of the transmigrated world this time had no significant impact on Lin Yuan''s main goal.


    In fact, the weaker the transmigrated world, the happier Lin Yuan was, because ording to the analysis of those evolutionary schrs of human civilization, the heart demons of the heart demon cmitye from the external world, formed by the negative emotions of countless beings.


    So, the heart demons formed by the negative emotions of countless beings in the main world would definitely be vastly different from those formed by the beings of this low martial world or non-martial world.


    There was simply noparison.


    For Lin Yuan, facing the heart demon cmity here was equivalent to reducing the difficulty.


    "To confront the heart demon cmity has nothing to do with the physical body or soul. The heart demon targets the mind and willpower."


    "As long as the realm is reached, the heart demon can be summoned at any time."


    "There''s no need for the physical body and soul to reach the pinnacle of the Seventh Rank at the same time."


    Lin Yuan thought silently.


    To advance to the Eighth Rank, the physical body and soul must reach perfection.


    But facing the heart demon cmity had no such requirement; only the realm needed to meet the standard.


    Even at this moment, Lin Yuan could summon the heart demon.


    "Although the residency time this time is not long, it''s still thirty years. There''s no need to rush," Lin Yuan scanned his surroundings. Most importantly, his current situation wasn''t very good. He didn''t want to be disturbed by external forces while confronting the heart demon cmity.


    "Hmm?"


    "What are you doing, old man? Trying to stand up?"


    "Do you think you can escape? Where can you possibly escape to?"


    Just as Lin Yuan adjusted his blood and qi and stood up, two burly men nearby looked over with ill intentions. They were surrounded by various butcher knives, eyeing Lin Yuan as if he were amb to be ughtered.


    "Get lost."


    Lin Yuan nced at the two men.


    He didn''t exert any force, nor could he, as Lin Yuan had just regained consciousness and could only use mental techniques.


    Boom.


    The two burly men felt as if the sky had copsed and their minds had been crushed tens of times over, causing their wills to copse and them to copse to the ground, convulsing.


    Their bodies were still alive, but their wills had copsed.


    This was the advantage of a strong Spirit Willpower. Just a single nce couldpletely crush the opponent.


    Of course, these two burly men were too weak. If they were Sixth or Seventh Rank evolvers, even if their Spirit Willpower was far inferior to Lin Yuan''s, they wouldn''t be so feeble with their physical bodies and souls guarding them.


    "Let''s go."


    Lin Yuan walked away swaggeringly.


    Along the way, there were people trying to stop him, but they all crumbled under Lin Yuan''s gaze.


    With Lin Yuan''s current strength of Spirit Willpower, even if surrounded by millions of troops, he could walk away as if taking a leisurely stroll.


    This was still a fragile physical body, greatly limiting Lin Yuan''s Spirit Willpower.


    Time passed.


    In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.


    During these ten years, Lin Yuan did not choose to immediately confront the heart demon cmity. Instead, he traveled far and wide, observing sentient beings as a bystander.


    In the fourth year after Lin Yuan''s arrival, the Great me Dynasty was broken by the rebel army andpletely perished.


    At this moment, the situation in the world was chaotic, with various warlords vying for power.


    Finally, a new warlord waving the banner of ''Great Chu,'' after six years of campaigning from south to north, ended the chaotic era and established the Great Chu Empire.


    In a sunny valley.


    A middle-aged man with an elegant demeanor stood respectfully outside.


    It seemed like he was waiting for something.


    If there were outsiders present, they would find that this middle-aged man was none other than the founding emperor of the Great Chu Empire, the most esteemed person in the world.


    However, at this moment, this founding emperor stood outside the valley with utmost respect, not daring to overstep.


    At this moment, a child walked out of the valley.


    "Master, is Master willing to see me?" The middle-aged man immediately asked in a low voice.


    "You can go."


    "The master said that there is no great kindness between you and him. There''s no need to care," the child said solemnly.


    "No great kindness?"


    The middle-aged man looked lost and sorrowful. If it weren''t for the master''s intervention back then, he would have died at the hands of the rebel army long ago. How could he have established such a great foundation?


    Although he had only followed his master for a few years, the middle-aged man deeply realized that his master was truly an immortal, and all mundane matters were of no concern to his master.


    Even he, the founding emperor of the Great Chu Empire, was merely a product of his master''s casual cultivation.


    "Yes."


    Taking a deep breath, the middle-aged man said in a low voice, "Tell the master that I will have the Great Chu Empire offer daily worship to his memorial tablet."


    Inside the valley.


    Lin Yuan nced at the departing middle-aged man but didn''t pay much attention. He was not a native of this world, and all his actions were done on a whim.


    With the copse of the Great me Dynasty and the chaos in the world, Lin Yuan grew tired of it and nurtured a new emperor to stabilize the situation. It seemed somewhat pleasing to him.


    That was all.


    "My current Spirit Willpower index should be over twelve thousand now?"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. Over the past ten years, as he traveled the world, his Spirit Willpower had been constantly improving through contemtion.


    "But here, I can''t sense the ''Devil Jade Space''?"


    Lin Yuan suddenly thought of it.


    From the moment Lin Yuan''s consciousness descended, his memories synchronized,prehending three thousand three hundred and thirty-three paths of evolutionary pathways, naturally condensing the ''Devil Jade Mark.''


    In the main world, when Lin Yuan condensed the Devil Jade Mark, he could sense the vast and mysterious Devil Jade Space.


    But here, he gained nothing.


    From this, it could be inferred that even the master of the Devil Jade Tower was far inferior to the Gate of the Myriad Realms. At least, the Gate of the Myriad Realms surpassed the perception limit of the master of the Devil Jade Tower with its casual transmigrations.


    Time passed.


    In the blink of an eye, another fifteen years had passed.


    During these fifteen years, the Great Chu Empire entered a period of prosperity, with a significant increase in poption. The founding emperor of Great Chu was hailed by the people.


    The founding emperor of Great Chu openly stated that everything he did now was guided by his master.


    Without his master, there would be no him, and there would be no Great Chu Empire as it was now.


    The entire empire, from top to bottom, worshipped his master''s memorial tablet day and night.


    On a mountaintop.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    "It''s a pity that this world is too weak. It''s not even necessary to spread the paths of martial evolution."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    With the suppression of this almost end-time era in this world, even if Lin Yuan spread the paths of martial evolution, future martial practitioners would at most only cultivate to the Innate Realm.


    Equivalent to not even reaching the First Rank.


    They would be unable to delve into the core essence of the paths of martial evolution.


    Thus, it would be difficult for Lin Yuan to provide any ''benefit.''


    Of course, Lin Yuan did not give up on this world.


    In these twenty-five years, he traveled far and wide, inscribing the paths of martial evolution onto some special metals and spreading them throughout the world.


    One day in the future, when this world lifted its suppression and ended the end-time era, the paths of martial evolution would undoubtedly rise first.


    "It''s time to confront the heart demon cmity."


    Lin Yuan made a decision.


    Although there were still five years left in the residency time.


    But over the past twenty-five years, Lin Yuan had pushed his Spirit Willpower to its limit.


    There wasn''t much significance in dying any longer.


    With this thought in mind, Lin Yuan began to actively summon the heart demon.


    The heart demon cmity descended.


    In a daze.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes again.


    He found himself in a room.


    "What is this?"


    Lin Yuan hadn''t examined it closely yet.


    His mother, Lin Qiong, walked in. "Little Yuan, I''ve already asked your uncle. He said he could remove your name from the conscription quota."


    Lin Qiong said with joy.


    "Conscription quota?"


    Lin Yuan looked puzzled. He vaguely felt that something was wrong with this sentence.


    Who dared to conscript him forcibly?


    "Yes, your uncle also said that he found a job for you in the government. Tomorrow, you''ll go with him, and he''ll arrange everything for you."


    "Little Yuan, your uncle is our family''s benefactor. You must be polite when you meet him."


    Lin Qiong kept reminding him by the side.


    "When you stabilize your job, you should find a girlfriend. By then, you two should get married, and have children early. Your father and I can help take care of them. Those robots can''t take care of children at all, so let us do it."


    Lin Qiong began to think about the future.


    "Get married?"


    "Have children?"


    In Lin Yuan''s eyes, faintly appeared the vortex of the starry sea.


    "My journey lies in the vast universe, where gxies spiral in silent majesty and stars ze with the fires of creation. In the boundless celestial ocean, I will navigate through nebe that paint the darkness with vibrant hues and past ck holes that guard the mysteries of time itself.


    I will tread a path paved with starlight, destined to explore the most profound depths of the universe and reach the highest ce.


    How can I be trapped on an ordinary and live an ordinary life?" Lin Yuan shouted.


    He stretchedzily, stood up, andughed heartily.

 Chapter 231

    Chapter 231


    At this moment.


    The immense will of the soul condensed within Lin Yuan''s body.


    Making him feel that everything he saw at the moment was like a mirage, easily pierced by his hand.


    Crash.


    In the moment of Lin Yuan''s rity.


    Consciousness began to sink again.


    By the time Lin Yuan opened his eyes again, he had already arrived in the cosmic starry sky.


    A powerful alien aura came from behind, indicating that Lin Yuan was obviously being pursued by aliens.


    "Hahaha, even if you are the unparalleled genius of human civilization, so what? You still have to die," the alien chasing behindughed wildly."I''m being hunted?"


    Lin Yuan frowned, subconsciously wanting to continue fleeing for his life.


    The next moment.


    The immense will of the soul once again condensed within him.


    Allowing Lin Yuan to instantly understand his situation.


    "Just mere Heart Demons." Lin Yuan stopped fleeing, and the illusions around him began to copse again.


    The essence of the Heart Demon trial is Heart Demons. When an evolver faces the Heart Demon trial, they will experience scenes they least want to experience.


    Or scenes they most want to experience.


    For example, what Lin Yuan was most worried about was being prematurely killed by aliens before he grew up.


    Originally, if one''s own spiritual willpower was not up to standard, the multiple illusions in front of them could easily cause the evolver to be lost, which meant failing to pass the Heart Demon trial.


    However, a strong spiritual willpower can quickly awaken the evolver.


    Or make the evolver realize that everything around them is an illusion, all fabricated.


    The probability of passing the Heart Demon trial naturally increases.


    In the blink of an eye.


    Lin Yuan had already shattered hundreds of Heart Demon illusions.


    The scene changed.


    A nest of insectoid creaturesparable to a gxy appeared in the distance.


    Countless insect warriors of the seventh, eighth, and even ninth ranks created by the nest, rushed out one after another.


    "Is this an Insectoid Empress?" Lin Yuan was surprised.


    The Insectoid Empress corresponds to the strongest of human civilization.


    An Insectoid Empress can continuously producerge numbers of seventh, eighth, and ninth rank insectoid warriors.


    These insectoid warriors, one-on-one, are definitely not opponents of human evolvers of the same rank.


    But the sheer number is overwhelming, endless, tens of thousands of ordinary eighth-rank insectoid warriors, even if Red Kun Star Lord sees them, would feel scalp tingling.


    Precisely because of this, in the war between human civilization and the insectoids, there is not much advantage on the middle and lower battlefields, but rather a disadvantage.


    Only in the battles among the strongest, are Insectoid Empresses suppressed by human beings on this side.


    Because Insectoid Empresses cannot produce insectoid warriors at the level of the strongest.


    "The Insectoid Empress personally attacking me, seems too fake."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly, even without a strong spiritual willpower, he felt that the scene before him was somewhat absurd. The existence of empresses is so powerful that it is enough to challenge the strongest.


    Even a genius evolver of human civilization who stands out in an era is not worth an empress taking action, given their identity and status.


    Boom.


    Apanied by the convergence of immense spiritual willpower.


    Lin Yuan once again shattered this heavy Heart Demon illusion.


    At the top of a towering evolutionary tower.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, at this moment Lin Yuan''s aura was as deep as the cosmic starry sky, wherever his gaze fell, it was within his own territory.


    "Great Strong One, under your leadership, human civilization has be an unprecedented force in the cosmic starry sky, and peak races like the insectoids have surrendered one after another."


    An elderly man below spoke loudly, his tone filled with profound admiration.


    "Bing a strongest one, leading human civilization to its peak, this is what every human evolver aspires to achieve."


    At this moment, Lin Yuan was receiving the worship of countless humans, overlooking from a high ce, like a deity.


    "Unfortunately, it''s all fake, all fake."


    Lin Yuan sighed, the scenes from all directions began to copse, and the invincible power within Lin Yuan''s body also dissipated.


    On top of a high mountain.


    Lin Yuan quietly opened his eyes.


    "The Heart Demon trial is over."


    Lin Yuan''s gaze was profound, as if breaking through some kind of shackle, his entire spiritual realm suddenly began to ascend.


    "My current realm is already eighth rank."


    Bing an eighth rank evolver has three prerequisites.


    First is the Heart Demon trial, second is the inner world, and third is the perfection of the body and soul.


    Without passing the Heart Demon trial, one will forever remain at the pinnacle of the seventh rank, even if the inner world and the body and soul meet the requirements.


    Because the realm cannot be improved.


    Only by passing the Heart Demon trial can one smoothly advance to the eighth rank on the realm.


    Next, if the inner world is opened up and the body and soul reach perfection, one can formally enter the eighth rank.


    "Let''s stop the transmigration."


    Lin Yuan nced at the remaining time.


    Five years left.


    The countless heavy Heart Demon illusions Lin Yuan experienced during the Heart Demon trial were just a moment in reality.


    As for the remaining five years of world-shuttling, there was no need to waste time here.


    Now the most important thing for Lin Yuan is to thoroughly step into the eighth rank.


    Red Kun Main Star.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes.


    Crash.


    Arge amount of Red Spirit Liquid appeared in front of him.


    As early as several years ago, Lin Yuan began to prepare for stepping into the eighth rank, naturally not forgetting about the Red Spirit Liquid.


    "Breakthrough."


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes.


    Boom.


    First, it was the inner world, which began to expand wildly once again.


    Originally, Lin Yuan''s inner world had a radius of only 130,000 miles, but in the blink of an eye, it swelled to 250,000 miles.


    The rapid expansion of the inner world did not cause muchmotion.


    Previously, when Lin Yuan expanded his inner world from just over ten miles to over 120,000 miles, the increase was a thousandfold, and Lin Yuan couldn''t control it perfectly, so he asked the Red Kun Star Lord for help to conceal it.


    But now, the increase from 130,000 miles to 250,000 miles, although the increase exceeded the previous one, the base was much stronger.


    Lin Yuan had the ability to contain itpletely on his own.


    In the Red Pce.


    The Red Kun Star Lord was instructing the Grand Peak Master.


    The Grand Peak Master already broke through to the eighth rank and will control a star domain. As a teacher, the Red Kun Star Lord would naturally give some trump cards.


    "Teacher, rest assured, I will be careful."


    The Grand Peak Master nodded. He also knew that the Red Kun Star Lord was concerned about him.


    "I wonder who among my disciples will be the next to break through to the eighth rank?" The Red Kun Star Lord sighed with some emotion.


    "Second Junior Brother? Third Junior Brother? Or Little Junior Brother?"


    The Grand Peak Master spected.


    Among the Red Kun Star Lord''s disciples now, only these three are at the seventh rank.


    "Who do you think it will be?" The Red Kun Star Lord asked with interest.


    "In terms of talent, Little Junior Brother is definitely the strongest, but to step into the eighth rank, mental strength is important. It requires umted experience over many years. Second Junior Brother has umted in this aspect, as long as he breaks through to the king level, he should be able to try to open up his inner world and then advance to the eighth rank," the Grand Peak Master calmly analyzed.


    It wasn''t that he looked down on Little Junior Brother, but the increase in spiritual will index indeed requires a lot of time. Little Junior Brother is still so young, not even a hundred years old.


    "You''re right," the Red Kun Star Lord said after careful consideration.


    "However."


    Before the Red Kun Star Lord could finish, he seemed to sense something.


    With astonishment, he looked in a certain direction.


    "Someone has broken through to the eighth rank?"


    The Grand Peak Master also sensed something and followed the breakthrough source.


    Although Lin Yuan could conceal the disturbance caused by the expansion of his inner world.


    But the breakthrough from the seventh rank to the eighth rank itself cannot be concealed, as it involves fluctuations in the fundamental rules.


    "Little Junior Brother?"


    The Grand Peak Master widened his eyes. The location of the breakthrough was on Thirteenth Peak.


    Now, on Thirteenth Peak, the only one capable of breaking through to the eighth rank is Little Junior Brother.


    As for those seventh rank guards? If these guards were about to break through to the eighth rank, they would certainly report to the Star Lord in advance.


    "Oh my god."


    The eldest senior brother opened his mouth wide. He had just analyzed with his teacher that the next ordinary eighth rank disciple would be Second Senior Brother, but Little Junior Brother immediately broke through to the eighth rank?


    No, that''s not the point.


    The point is how old Little Junior Brother is? Just recently he stepped into the seventh rank, and now he''s at the eighth rank?


    "My disciple."


    The Red Kun Star Lord''s thoughts were also in turmoil. The Grand Peak Master thought the next one to reach the eighth rank would be Second Peak Master, but the Red Kun Star Lord did not agree with this view.


    Compared to the Grand Peak Master, the Red Kun Star Lord knew about Lin Yuan''s cultivation progress and the nearly eighth-rank pinnacle inner world.


    With such a vast inner world, even if Lin Yuan did nothing, his body, soul, and will would gradually be stronger.


    Until it approached the eighth-rank pinnacle.


    The eighth-rank pinnacle here refers to the pinnacle of the body and soul, while the realm would still be at the seventh rank.


    But in the eyes of the Red Kun Star Lord, even if Lin Yuan stepped into the eighth rank, it would be decades or even hundreds of yearster.


    And now it''s done?


    At the same time.


    Themotion caused by Lin Yuan''s breakthrough to the eighth rank began to affect the entire Red Kun Main Star.


    Just recently, after the eldest senior brother broke through to the eighth rank, Lin Yuan sensed it from afar, because the breakthrough from the seventh rank to the eighth rank would cause fluctuations in the fundamental rules and would be difficult to conceal.


    Almost in an instant.


    Countless sixth and seventh rank evolvers on the Red Kun Main Star were boiling.


    "Another Peak Master has be an eighth rank?"


    "The Grand Peak Master has just be an eighth rank not long ago, and another Peak Master is following closely behind?"


    "My Red Kun Star Domain has really been blessed with strong individuals recently."


    Countless evolvers on the Red Kun Main Star were somewhat stunned.


    "But wait, I recently met with Second Peak Master and Third Peak Master, they should be out for a while now, they shouldn''t be on the Red Kun Main Star."


    "Does that mean, among the Peak Masters currently on the main star, only Thirteenth Peak Master is at the seventh rank?"


    "The one who broke through to the eighth rank is Thirteenth Peak Master?"


    This spection left all the evolvers puzzled.


    Any rational evolver could understand that Thirteenth Peak Master had just announced his stepping into the seventh rank not long ago, how could he step into the eighth rank so quickly?


    Do they really think cultivation is as simple as eating and drinking?


    It''s just that now, Second Peak Master and Third Peak Master are not on the main star. The only one with the conditions to break through to the eighth rank is Thirteenth Peak Master.


    Perhaps those seventh rank king guards also have the conditions to break through to the eighth rank, but if they break through, they will be sent to a special breakthrough by the Star Lord and will definitely not break through on the main star.


    After thinking about it, only Thirteenth Peak Master fits the conditions.


    "I just contacted Second Peak Master and Third Peak Master. They are indeed not on the main star now," a certain seventh rank king evolver said.


    As soon as these words came out.


    A storm of shock swept through.


    Because it meant that the evolver who was currently breaking through to the eighth rank could only be Thirteenth Peak Master.


    If not Thirteenth Peak Master, could it be those peak masters who were only at the sixth rank?


    "The breakthrough went smoothly."


    "Now he haspletely stepped into the eighth rank."


    The seventh rank evolvers carefully sensed that the breakthrough from the seventh to the eighth rank had several difficulties, such as failing to ovee the Heart Demon cmity, or failing to open up an inner world.


    Regardless of the kind of failure, it would cause signs of breakthrough to abruptly halt.


    But now, the sensation of breakthrough they felt was very smooth, like flowing clouds, without even a pause.


    "If it''s really the Thirteenth Peak Master who has stepped into the eighth rank, then the potential of the Thirteenth Peak Master is terrifying."


    "In the future, even if unable to break through to the ninth rank, at least he will be invincible like the Star Lord at the eighth rank."


    The slightly discerning seventh rank evolvers had already seen that the lower limit for the future Thirteenth Peak Master was invincible at the eighth rank, like the Red Kun Star Lord.


    As for the upper limit, that was unclear.


    Maybe it''s the ninth rank, or maybe it''s the tenth rank.


    While countless evolvers on the main stars were discussing and conversing.


    Regarding the news that the Red Kun Lineage would have another eighth rank evolver, it began to spread like a hurricane in all directions.


    Especially since this newly promoted eighth rank evolver was likely to be the youngest Thirteenth Peak Master, it aroused discussions almost to the point of frenzy.


    Wan Yang Star Domain.


    On the surface of a constant star.


    An elderly man with ck hair appeared.


    "Your Highness, Your Highness."


    The old man with ck hair began to call out.


    Nearly ten years ago, the Prince of Wan Yang made the decision to risk his life and practice deep inside the stars.


    Because only by doing so could he fully exploit his potential and ascend to the seventh rank at the fastest speed, catching up with the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage.


    How arrogant was the Prince of Wan Yang? Being repeatedly struck by the Thirteenth Peak Master twice in a row, the depression in his heart almost overflowed.


    At the call of the old man with ck hair.


    A zing red crystal flew out from deep within the star.


    The crystal stopped in front of the old man with ck hair and began to melt, and the Prince of Wan Yang walked out from inside.


    "What''s the matter?"


    "I''ve said that unless it''s a major matter, don''t bother me, right?"


    The Prince of Wan Yang frowned. He had intended to continue his seclusion for two hundred years this time.


    But now, in less than ten years, he was called out, which made him very dissatisfied.


    "Your Highness, good news, very big news."


    The old man with ck hair smiled, and quickly told him about the part of the body from a strongest one outside the main world.


    "The body of a strongest one?"


    "Allowing us toprehend it, as long as weprehend the path of the strongest evolution, we have the hope of bing a strongest one?"


    mes seemed to burn faintly in the eyes of the Prince of Wan Yang.


    If that were really the case, thenprehending that part of the body would be better than going into deep seclusion within the star.


    "The body of the strongest one, I don''t expect toprehend the path of the strongest evolution, but as long as Iprehend one billionth of the mystery of this part of the body, it shouldn''t be a problem for me to step into the seventh rank."


    The heart of the Prince of Wan Yang was burning.


    ording to his spection, by going into deep seclusion within the star and experiencing the danger of life and death, he would have the chance to step into the seventh rank in two hundred years.


    But byprehending the body of the strongest one, he might step into the seventh rank in just one hundred years.


    Just one hundred years, then how far could the Thirteenth Peak Master advance in the seventh rank?


    He had more hope of catching up with the other party.


    At that time, The Prince of Wan Yang was excited in his heart. As long as he reached the seventh rank, he would be in the same realm as the Thirteenth Peak Master. With the ''Nine Yang Divine Veins'' physique, he estimated that he wouldn''t fall behind too much.


    Just as the Prince of Wan Yang was full of hope and eager to apply forprehension of that part of the body.


    The expression of the old man with ck hair beside him changed slightly. He was constantly connected to the virtual world, ensuring that he could know anytest information.


    "Your Highness."


    The old man with ck hair nced cautiously at the ambitious Prince of Wan Yang and said in a low voice:


    "There''s bad news now."


    "Bad news?"


    The Prince of Wan Yang nced at the old man with ck hair, indifferent.


    "What bad news?"

    Chapter 232


    "Speak."


    Seeing the hesitant demeanor of the ck-haired elder, the Prince of Wan Yang did not me him.


    Now that he saw hope in catching up with the Thirteenth Peak Master,prehending the body of a powerful being would definitely resonate with him.


    Then, with the help of his own Nine Yang Divine Veins, crossing into the Seventh Rank within a hundred years was not a joke.


    As for the Eighth Rank after the Seventh, the Prince of Wan Yang had not considered it yet; the Eighth Rank was still too far for him.


    Spiritual will index, inner world, physical and soul perfection, none were fulfilled.


    Now the Prince of Wan Yang''s gaze was entirely focused on the Seventh Rank. As long as he could step into the Seventh Rank, he would have narrowed the gap with the Thirteenth Peak Master.


    "Don''t worry, there''s no bad news now that can shake my mood."


    Seeing the ck-haired elder still hesitating, the Prince of Wan Yang said calmly.With hope, the Prince of Wan Yang felt that his mental strength had also improved.


    What is called living through long years and tempering one''s mental strength is essentially experiencing great ups and downs.


    The peril of life and death is no exception.


    Upon learning that the Thirteenth Peak Master had reached the Seventh Rank, the Prince of Wan Yang was once in despair, even risking his life to practice in seclusion within the star.


    This was the ''down''.


    But now, learning that it was possible toprehend the body of a powerful being, and having hope of catching up with the Thirteenth Peak Master, this was the ''up''.


    Great ups and downs, great downs and ups.


    It''s just that.


    "It''s bad news rted to the Thirteenth Peak Master."


    The ck-haired elder cautiously said, well aware of how much the Prince of Wan Yang desired to catch up with the Thirteenth Peak Master.


    But the news he just learned was, for the Prince of Wan Yang, somewhat too cruel.


    "The Thirteenth Peak Master?"


    The Prince of Wan Yang''s expression became slightly more solemn.


    Bad news rted to the Thirteenth Peak Master? Could it be that he has already reached the peak of the Seventh Rank?


    This was indeed not good news.


    In such a short time, from the early stage of the Seventh Rank to the peak, truly worthy of being the Thirteenth Peak Master he wanted to catch up to.


    At this rate, a hundred yearster, wouldn''t the Thirteenth Peak Master have a chance to reach the rank of King in the Seventh Rank?


    Even then, if everything went smoothly for him, he would only be at the early stage of the Seventh Rank, and the gap with the Thirteenth Peak Master would still be considerable.


    Thinking of this, the Prince of Wan Yang couldn''t help but feel some pressure.


    "I received news that the Thirteenth Peak Master... seems to have reached the Eighth Rank."


    The ck-haired elder gathered courage and spoke out the news he had just received.


    Even if he didn''t say it, as long as the Prince of Wan Yang''s consciousness was connected to the virtualwork, he could still find out.


    "The Thirteenth Peak Master reached the Eighth Rank. What did you say? At which Rank did he reach?"


    The Prince of Wan Yang was still contemting how to quickly advance towards the King level of the Seventh Rank a hundred yearster. Upon hearing the words of the ck-haired elder, he almost thought he was hallucinating.


    Eighth Rank?


    The Thirteenth Peak Master reached the Eighth Rank?


    The Prince of Wan Yang''s mind went nk.


    It wasn''t until the ck-haired elder repeated it several times that the Prince of Wan Yang barely recovered.


    "Where did this newse from?"


    The Prince of Wan Yang''s first reaction was disbelief.


    From the Seventh to the Eighth Rank was a major bottleneck.


    If, before he went into seclusion, the Thirteenth Peak Master had already reached the peak of the Seventh Rank King level, then breaking through to the Eighth Rank now would be considered normal.


    But the Thirteenth Peak Master had clearly just crossed into the Seventh Rank not long ago.


    In such a short time, crossing three major thresholds of spiritual will index, inner world, and physical and soul perfection? Was he still human?


    Was he still human?!


    "Your Highness, this news came from the Red Kun Main Star. On the central continent of the main star, there was a fluctuation of Qi indicating a breakthrough from the Seventh to the Eighth Rank, and only the Thirteenth Peak Master met the conditions for such a breakthrough."


    The ck-haired elder spoke truthfully.


    "Indeed, there is a possibility of misinformation."


    The Prince of Wan Yang immediately inquired.


    He really didn''t want to believe that the Thirteenth Peak Master had already reached the Eighth Rank.


    This made his previous behavior of risking his life in seclusion seem ridiculous.


    To catch up with the Thirteenth Peak Master? With what?


    "There is indeed a possibility of misinformation."


    The ck-haired elder thought for a moment and nodded.


    "Your Highness, if the Thirteenth Peak Master really breaks through to the Eighth Rank, the Red Kun Lineage will soon issue a statement, and everything will be clear then."


    The ck-haired elder said.


    "Then we''ll wait."


    The Prince of Wan Yang remained silent for a moment before speaking.


    "Good."


    "We''ll wait."


    The ck-haired elder nodded.


    Red Kun Main Star.


    Thirteenth Peak.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    At this moment, his aura was profound, like a celestial body, beginning to influence the surroundings.


    An Eighth Rank evolver, after undergoing extreme transformation of the body and soul, coupled with the opening of the inner world, if not restrained, would indeed be no different from those celestial bodies.


    "So this is the Eighth Rank?"


    Lin Yuan carefully sensed the new power within him.


    Although at the Seventh Rank, relying on his vast inner world, Lin Yuan could overpower most Eighth Rank evolvers.


    But that was only in terms of strength; the subtleties of realm, Lin Yuan now truly felt.


    The greatest trump card of an Eighth Rank evolver was the inner world, but this didn''t mean that an Eighth Rank evolver only relied on the inner world.


    "The cultivation of the Eighth Rank is mainly divided into four stages: the initial stage, the middle stage, theter stage, and the extreme stage."


    Lin Yuan was very clear about how to proceed on the path ahead.


    In fact, there was a fifth stage of the Eighth Rank.


    That would be the Invincible Eighth Rank.


    Essentially, the Invincible Eighth Rank was still within the fourth stage.


    Evolvers at the Invincible Eighth Rank, such as the Red Kun Star Lord, the Golden Dragon Star Lord, the Wan Yang Star Lord, etc., had mastered a power that surpassed the Eighth Rank.


    With this power, the Invincible Eighth Rankers can crush any Eighth Rank Evolver.


    Of course, there are subtle differences in strength among the Invincible Eighth Rankers, but in one-on-onebat, it is nearly impossible for one to defeat another.


    This is why such strong individuals are called Invincible Eighth Rankers.


    Unless a Ninth Rank steps in, the Invincible Eighth Rankers are essentially unbeatable.


    Even if faced with a group of Invincible Eighth Rankers, they can easily retreat unscathed.


    "Teacher, being an Invincible Eighth Ranker, has a power that surpasses the Eighth Rank. It should be rted to the Star-sea kun" Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Each Invincible Eighth Ranker is unique, and it is impossible for them to possess exactly the same power.


    Lin Yuan felt the changes in himself slightly before standing up and walking out of the grand hall.


    Outside the hall, the Red Kun Star Lord and the Grand Peak Lord had been waiting for a long time.


    The Red Kun Star Lord was the first to notice the disturbance caused by Lin Yuan''s breakthrough, followed by the Grand Peak Lord.


    "My dear disciple, have you already stepped into the Eighth Rank?"


    The Red Kun Star Lord carefully examined Lin Yuan and shook his head slightly, saying:


    "How many years did it take for me to step into the Eighth Rank? Eight thousand years? Or was it ten thousand years?"


    As a special life form with peak bloodline, the Star-sea Kun is born with an internal world, so stepping into the Eighth Rank was much easier for the Red Kun Star Lordpared to human evolvers.


    "Teacher, I have been at the Seventh Rank for nearly a hundred thousand years. Compared to my junior brother, I feel like these years have been wasted," the Grand Peak Lord said, slightly aggrieved.


    Although he had long known thatparing himself to a monstrous talent like his junior brother was futile, seeing his junior brother step into the Eighth Rank so easily still made his heart ache.


    However, despite what he said, the Grand Peak Lord felt fortunate that he had stepped into the Eighth Rank earlier. Otherwise, wouldn''t he be surpassed by his junior brother?


    "Teacher, Senior Brother," Lin Yuan said, smiling at the Red Kun Star Lord and the Grand Peak Lord.


    "Junior Brother, how do you feel now?" the Grand Peak Lord asked.


    "Very special," Lin Yuan replied, squinting his eyes as he sensed his surroundings.


    "How about we sh with our world power? That way, you''ll be more familiar with the power of the Eighth Rank," the Grand Peak Lord eagerly suggested.


    When he had just stepped into the Eighth Rank, the Red Kun Star Lord had given him an unforgettable impression with his world power.


    Although it had greatly helped him master his own world power, the experience was extraordinarily memorable.


    "sh with world power?" The Red Kun Star Lord nced at the Grand Peak Lord but said nothing.


    "Okay," Lin Yuan nodded.


    In fact, before breaking into the Seventh Rank, he had already opened up his internal world at the peak of the Sixth Rank, but he had never fought other Eighth Rank evolvers since then.


    Now that his senior brother volunteered to be his sparring partner, Lin Yuan naturally did not refuse.


    "Junior Brother, be careful. Although I haven''t been in the Eighth Rank for long, I am still more familiar with it than you," the Grand Peak Lord reminded, understanding that this might be hisst chance to be on equal footing with his junior brother. With his junior brother''s talent, he would soon be left far behind.


    Rumble.


    The Grand Peak Lord activated his world power, an invisible force spreading out. Even when suppressed, this terrifying power could easily crush Sixth and Seventh Rank evolvers.


    "Hmm?"


    As the Grand Peak Lord''s world power enveloped Lin Yuan, he felt as if he was trying to cover a ck hole.


    Rumble.


    A force far exceeding the limits of the Grand Peak Lord''s world power spread out from Lin Yuan, radiating in all directions.


    "What?"


    The Grand Peak Lord''s face changed. He sensed an immense and boundless power that rendered his world power utterly powerless.


    The two forces were not even on the same level.


    "Stop, stop, stop."


    The Grand Peak Lord quickly called out.


    "This kind of world power?"


    The Grand Peak Lord couldn''t believe it. He recognized the force that had overwhelmed his world power as world power, but it was far stronger than his.


    Even though it didn''t exert as much pressure as the Red Kun Star Lord''s, it far surpassed other Eighth Rank evolvers.


    "Junior Brother, how vast is your internal world?" The Grand Peak Lord swallowed hard. The strength of world power depends on the foundation of one''s internal world.


    Lin Yuan''s world power was far stronger than his, indicating that his internal world was vastly superior.


    But hadn''t Lin Yuan just broken through?


    The Grand Peak Lord couldn''tprehend it and could only attribute it to his monstrous junior brother.


    "Alright, your junior brother was already holding back," the Red Kun Star Lord said, shaking his head.


    Before stepping into the Eighth Rank, Lin Yuan''s internal world already exceeded one hundred thousand miles in radius. Now, it was at least over two hundred thousand miles.


    If Lin Yuan didn''t hold back during a spar with the Grand Peak Lord, thetter would be instantly suppressed.


    "Holding back?"


    "He was still fucking holding back!?"


    The Grand Peak Lord muttered to himself but knew the teacher wouldn''t lie. Even as a new Eighth Ranker, his junior brother''s strength far exceeded his.


    "Alright, my dear disciple, first get familiar with the Eighth Rank''s realm. We''ll talk about other thingster," the Red Kun Star Lord advised.


    "Also, I will have someone announce your breakthrough to the Eighth Rank," the Red Kun Star Lord said.


    He mainly needed to confirm this to old friends who kept messaging him, asking if it was true that the Thirteenth Peak Lord had broken into the Eighth Rank.


    "Thank you, Teacher," Lin Yuan said, nodding.


    News of Lin Yuan''s breakthrough to the Eighth Rank was soon officially confirmed by an announcement from the Red Kun Lineage.


    There was no need to conceal it. As one of the most powerful peak races, human civilization has a method of ''resurrection'' as a trump card.


    When breaking through from the Fifth Rank to the Sixth Rank, the essence of life is not strong enough, so one must hide their identity. After all, no matter how talented a Fifth Rank Evolver is, they do not meet the criteria for resurrection.


    If they die, they are truly dead.


    But at the Eighth Rank, not to mention the cost for foreign races to assassinate an Eighth Ranker, most Eighth Rank Evolvers in human civilization have the technique of creating a clone.


    Even if an assassination is sessful, the strongest ones will bring them back to life.


    Resurrecting an Eighth Ranker is not a major expense for the strongest, though for the strongest ones, even the smallest expense is a significant cost for lower-rank evolvers.


    The geniuses of those powerful races must be cautious because their races do not have the strongest ones to ensure their resurrection. They have to seek help from peak races for resurrection.


    But whether the strongest ones from peak races are willing to help is another matter.


    "The Red Kun Lineage has announced that the one who broke through to the Eighth Rank is indeed the Thirteenth Peak Lord."


    "My heavens, how old is the Thirteenth Peak Lord? And he''s already at the Eighth Rank?"


    "When I was the same age as the Thirteenth Peak Lord, I was still ying around at the First and Second Ranks."


    The entire star alliances were shaken. Some had wondered if there might be a mistake since there had been no official announcement from the Red Kun Lineage, so the one who broke through might not be the Thirteenth Peak Lord.


    But now, it is confirmed.


    Wan Yang Star Domain.


    The Prince of Wan Yang was closely monitoring the Red Kun Lineage.


    He knew almost instantly when the announcement was made.


    "So it''s true that the Thirteenth Peak Lord has broken into the Eighth Rank?"


    The Prince of Wan Yang thought silently.


    During the wait, he had already epted most of the possibility. Seeing the announcement, he actually felt relieved.


    "Your Highness, are you alright?" a ck-haired elder beside him asked with concern.


    Even he was full of disbelief when he learned that the Thirteenth Peak Lord had broken into the Eighth Rank.


    How much more so for the Prince of Wan Yang, who had set the Thirteenth Peak Lord as his goal?


    "Your Highness, there''s no need for you to chase after the Thirteenth Peak Lord. Sometimes these prodigies are beyond reason," the ck-haired elder tried tofort his lord.


    "I understand," the Prince of Wan Yang sighed.


    If the Thirteenth Peak Lord were still at the Seventh Rank, even at the king level of the Seventh Rank, the Prince of Wan Yang would feel immense pressure.


    But now that the Thirteenth Peak Lord had stepped into the Eighth Rank, the Prince of Wan Yang suddenly felt the pressure lift, because from now on, there was no point in chasing the Thirteenth Peak Lord.


    He couldn''t catch up.


    Red Kun Main Star.


    First Peak.


    The newly joined member Feng Yu looked at the announcement from the Red Kun Lineage and fell into silence.

 Chapter 233

    Chapter 233


    Feng Yu sat quietly, repeatedly reading the announcement.


    "Thirteenth Peak Master, stepping into Rank Eight."


    The information kept shing through Feng Yu''s mind, intensifying his frustration.


    Thinking back to when he had declined the invitation from Thirteenth Peak Master, Feng Yu felt a suffocating sensation creeping over him.


    If Thirteenth Peak Master had not invited him to join the Thirteen Mountain Peaks, Feng Yu wouldn''t have felt this way. Among so many contenders, only two were ultimately chosen by Thirteenth Peak Master.


    But Feng Yu knew he had been chosen by Thirteenth Peak Master as well. If he hadn''t refused back then, he would be Thirteenth Peak Master''s disciple now.


    "My choice back then, based on the circumstances at the time, wasn''t wrong." Feng Yu steadied his mind, constantly reviewing his decision.


    During the Seven-Star Cave trial, Thirteenth Peak Master was only at Rank Seven, while the Grand Peak Master was already at Rank Eight.


    Even if Thirteenth Peak Master had hoped to advance to Rank Eight, it was just a hope. Giving up on such a vague hope and choosing the more practical option, the Grand Peak Master, wasn''t wrong."I never thought Thirteenth Peak Master would advance to Rank Eight so quickly." Feng Yu sighed.


    Not only him, but the entire Red Kun Star Domain, the entire Annan Star Alliance, who else would have thought Thirteenth Peak Master could break through so quickly?


    "No, I should have been able to think of it."


    "Didn''t Mo Li think of it?" Feng Yu muttered to himself. "When he found out I refused Thirteenth Peak Master and chose the Grand Peak Master, the surprise on his face, I still remember it."


    "Mo Li knew from the beginning that Thirteenth Peak Master had limitless potential."


    Feng Yu looked up at the sky.


    "But Mo Lies from a Rank Seven force. Even if he made the wrong choice, it wouldn''t have much impact. I might not, my family needs me to make the most advantageous choice as soon as possible."


    "And at that time, the most advantageous choice for me was the Grand Peak Master!"


    Feng Yu shook his head.


    "Unfortunately, there''s no chance like that anymore."


    Feng Yu felt despondent.


    He understood that he had missed the most important opportunity of his life.


    That was to join Thirteenth Peak Master''s side.


    Even Feng Yu realized that Thirteenth Peak Master, at less than a hundred years old, could advance to Rank Eight, and his future achievements could be said to be limitless.


    Thirteenth Mountain Peak.


    Mo Li and Wu Lan were utterly confused.


    "The Peak Master has advanced to Rank Eight?"


    "So quickly?"


    Mo Li blinked. Originally, he was extremely excited to join Thirteenth Peak Master, mainly because he believed Thirteenth Peak Master would eventually reach Rank Eight, so grasping this thigh as soon as possible would be immensely beneficial.


    But never did he expect this day toe so soon?


    "Rank Eight?"


    Wu Lan hesitated to speak.


    She only felt that her own Peak Master advancing to Rank Eight was very impressive, but she didn''t know what it meant. The situation in the surrounding star domains and even the Star Alliance would change because of Lin Yuan.


    She was only at Rank Three and had no background. Being able to join Thirteenth Peak Master was purely luck.


    Of course, it wasn''t entirely luck. Being able to achieve a top ten result in theary arenapetition was also part of her own strength.


    "Fortune favors fools."


    Mo Li nced at Wu Lan. He had schemed and worked hard during the Seven-Star Cave trial, all for the sake of joining Thirteenth Peak Master. But Wu Lan, just an ordinary Silver Mark, was also chosen by Thirteenth Peak Master, achieving the result he had fought so hard for.


    Mo Li couldn''t help but sigh. Sometimes luck was indeed a significant factor.


    At least for Wu Lan, joining Thirteenth Peak Master would definitely not result in a low position in the future.


    Deep within the main hall.


    Lin Yuan was experiencing his own changes.


    "The internal world has be moreplete."


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness appeared in his internal world. When he integrated three cosmic treasures before, his internal world had already improved significantly.


    But as Lin Yuan advanced to Rank Eight, his internal world not only expanded to a radius of 250,000 miles but also seemed to have grownpletely.


    "The origin of the world."


    Lin Yuan observed carefully.


    In the Azure World, Lin Yuan reced the world''s consciousness with his own, bing an existence akin to the "Heavenly Dao".


    However,pared to this moment, there was a difference in "quality".


    In controlling the Azure World, the emphasis was on "control", but at this moment, facing his internal world, Lin Yuan could integrate with it.


    "The Primordial Spirit."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts stirred.


    The Sun Primordial Spirit emerged from within him and sat facing him.


    Whoosh!


    The terrifying power of the sun surged within the Sun Primordial Spirit, forming an infinite sun power that vaguely formed a fiery world. Gathering theprehension of spatial rules, the fiery world expanded continuously, instantly reaching a range of 200,000 miles.


    "After reaching Rank Eight, even without relying on the Yin-Yang Tai Chi, just by relying on the rules of the sun and theprehension of spatial rules, one can open a fiery world."


    Seeing this, Lin Yuan quickly thought.


    By merging Yin and Yang into Tai Chi, the power was perfected, and the difficulty of opening a small world was reduced. This was why Lin Yuan was able to open an internal world when he was at the peak of Rank Six.


    And now, Lin Yuan was already at Rank Eight. After years of enlightenment, he had deeplyprehended the rules of the sun. Even if the power of the sun was slightly extreme, he could still open a fiery world by pioneering with the spatial rules.


    However, in terms of stability, a purely fiery world was definitely notparable to a Tai Chi world.


    "Hmm?"


    "The Gate to the Myriad Realms?"


    Lin Yuan seemed to sense something and immediately sank his consciousness into his mind.


    Arriving in front of the towering and magnificent Gate to the Myriad Realms.


    "After advancing to Rank Eight, the Gate to the Myriad Realms has be more substantial."


    Lin Yuan observed carefully. As early as when he reached Rank Six, Lin Yuan knew that what he saw as the Gate to the Myriad Realms was only a projection of the true Gate to the Myriad Realms.


    At Lin Yuan''s level of life, he simply couldn''t bear the true Gate to the Myriad Realms.


    However, as Lin Yuan''s strength continued to improve and his life constantly evolved, this projection of the Gate to the Myriad Realms clearly began to solidify.


    "Unfortunately, stepping into Rank Eight, the Gate to the Myriad Realms hasn''t gained any additional functionality."


    Lin Yuan felt somewhat disappointed, but he quickly cheered up.


    The assistance provided by the Gate to the Myriad Realms now was already significant enough.


    If it weren''t for the Gate to the Myriad Realms, he would probably still be struggling on Cann Star, how could he possibly have his current lofty position?


    "I wonder at what level of strength one can fully bear the Gate to the Myriad Realms?"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    At least at the current Rank Eight, it was far from enough, and Rank Nine was probably still uncertain.


    After observing the Gate to the Myriad Realms for a while and confirming that he hadn''t missed any details, Lin Yuan''s mind returned to reality.


    "The Devil Jade Space?"


    Lin Yuan used the perception from the depths of his soul, that sense without the ''Devil Jade Mark''.


    He sensed a vast and mysterious space, and as long as Lin Yuan wished, he could enter it with just a thought using the Devil Jade Mark.


    "Never mind."


    "Although I''m not weaker than a peak Rank Eight now."


    "But in terms of realm, I''m still only in the early stages of Rank Eight."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. To enter the Devil Jade Space, he would need to reach the peak of Rank Eight at least.


    Lin Yuan nned to continue practicing for a while longer and make more preparations before considering entering.


    After all, the Devil Jade Mark had already condensed, and the Devil Jade Space was there, it wasn''t going anywhere.


    "The path of martial evolution can finally continue to improve."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face. Previously limited by the Heart Demon Tribtion, he had stopped at the Rank Seven realm. Although he forcibly opened the Eighth Rank of the martial path, even with Unrivaled Insight, his efforts were only half as effective.


    So most of Lin Yuan''s energy was focused onprehending the model of spatial rules and exploring the many paths of evolution within his body.


    Now that this restriction was lifted.


    "The Eighth Rank of the martial path is extremely important. To be precise, all the Eighth Rank paths of evolution are very important."


    "The three goddesses of human civilization regard the ability to open a stable andplete Eighth Rank path of evolution as a prerequisite for bing an evolutionist."


    Lin Yuan thought silently to himself.


    Evolutionists held a special position in human civilization and were treasures of the entire civilization.


    "Take it slow."


    "Opening the Eighth Rank of the martial path can''t be rushed."


    Lin Yuan was very cautious, as this not only concerned the potential of the martial path of evolution but also his own potential.


    Virtual world.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared at the peak of a mountain.


    "That body?"


    Lin Yuan looked up at the body beneath the firmament.


    After reaching Rank Eight, Lin Yuan''s realm had been elevated. At this moment, when he once again sensed the body, he perceived apletely different sensation.


    At Rank Seven, when Lin Yuan observed the body, with the help of Unrivaled Insight, it was like seeing mountains as mountains and water as water.


    But now, when Lin Yuan looked at the body again, it was as if mountains were not mountains and water was not water.


    Even when Lin Yuan reexamined the parts of the body he had alreadyprehended, he could still perceivepletely different paths of evolution.


    "Is this what a strongest one is like?"


    "Just a body that has been dead for who knows how many years."


    "Yet it can give me the feeling of boundless benefits."


    Lin Yuan eximed in his heart, all while based on Unrivaled Insight.


    "Strongest one stand at the pinnacle of certain paths of strongest evolution. Theyprehendplete spatial rules andplete temporal rules, and even grasp a certain ''authority''."


    Ascending against the flow, resurrecting the dead, these were just the most ordinary abilities of strongest ones, something any strongest one could do. Or rather, as long as they mastered the rules of time and space, they could aplish this.


    However, resurrecting creatures that had already died required enduring the bacsh of the entire universe, something only strongest ones could easily resist.


    "At my current rate ofprehension, understanding three thousand three hundred and thirty-three paths of evolution will take only a few months."


    Lin Yuan spected in his mind that the effect of Unrivaled Insight depended on the height he was at.


    If Lin Yuan were just an ordinary person, observing a nt or a de of grass, he could probably onlyprehend ordinary martial arts.


    But if Lin Yuan were a high-level evolver, it was possible toprehend insights rted to the rules of life.


    Simrly, after reaching Rank Eight, Lin Yuan''s rate ofprehension had risen to a higher level.


    "Understanding three thousand three hundred and thirty-three paths of evolution can make me an ordinary member of the Devil Jade Tower. But what about six thousand six hundred and sixty-six paths? What about nine thousand nine hundred and ny-nine paths?"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Although he didn''t know the usefulness of being an ordinary or core member of the Devil Jade Tower.


    Lin Yuan instinctively felt that the higher the membership level, the greater the benefits for himself.


    Anyway, even if there were no benefits from a higher membership level, Lin Yuan would continue toprehend more paths of evolution to provide resources for the Eighth Rank of the martial path.


    In a certain ce.


    On a high tform, several figures looked at Lin Yuan with their eyes falling in unison.


    "Is that the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage? He recently advanced to Rank Eight before reaching a hundred years old?"


    "Rank Eight before a hundred years old, that guy from Red Kun Star Domain is quite lucky."


    "Indeed, to cultivate to Rank Eight so quickly, could he have had other opportunities?"


    These few figures were conversing with each other. As a high-ranking ninth-rank evolver, it was rare for them to take notice of anything ordinary.


    Previously, Lin Yuan, as a seventh-rank evolver under a hundred years of age, only managed to attract a few nces from them, but that was about it. Being a seventh-rank evolver under a hundred years old was indeed rare, but there was still a long way to go before reaching the Ninth Rank.


    But now.


    Lin Yuan had reached the eighth rank. Although he was still far from the Ninth Rank, it was worth their attention.


    "In this generation of our human civilization, under a hundred years old but having reached the Eight Rank, are there only those few descendants of the strongest and those who have received special inheritances who can measure up?" one of the figures murmured softly.


    The descendants of the strongest were carefully nurtured by the strongest themselves, sleeping in the origin of space even before birth, bing naturally attuned to the rules of space upon birth and extremely close to other rules.


    They were like children of the great Dao.


    Combined with various encounters and resources, even so, in the eyes of these few figures, they could only be on par with Lin Yuan.


    As for the few others who received special inheritances, they were even more iparable existences.


    In a mysterious space.


    A towering figure shrouded in murky gray gas suddenly opened its eyes.


    "Entering the eighth rank under a hundred years old?"


    "Interesting."


    Various scenes shed before this towering figure.


    "Do you know the second way to explore that fragmentary body?"


    This towering figure spected in its mind.


    Rted to extraterrestrial forces? Destined? Guided by the origin of the universe?


    This towering figure pondered deeply.


    "Goddess of Wisdom."


    The towering figure emitted a voice, resonating for millions of light-years around.


    "Respected strongest one, may I inquire if there is anymand?"


    The solemn and chilly voice of the Goddess of Wisdom came through, but this time there was a deep respect in her voice.


    "I intend to meet this little guy in the virtual world. Is there any problem with that?"


    The towering figure spoke casually.


    "Respected strongest one, this citizen is very important to human civilization. The evolutionary path he has established may be a new path to ultimate evolution in the future," the Goddess of Wisdom reminded.


    "Don''t worry, I know what I''m doing."


    The towering figure sneered.


    You, Goddess of Wisdom, only know how to protect the genius offspring of humanity, what about me?


    The main star of Red Kun Star Domain.


    Lin Yuan concluded his enlightenment.


    "Already at the eighth rank. Does that mean the pressure of spiritual will has also reached the eighth rank?" Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    The pressure of spiritual will emanating from that fragmentary body was entirely rted to the cultivator''s own realm and the strength of their spiritual will.


    Even an eighth-rank evolver, let alone a ninth-rank one, would have to bear tremendous pressure of spiritual will at every moment if they wished toprehend that fragmentary body.


    Just as Lin Yuan was about to leave the main hall for a stroll.


    The voice of the Goddess of Wisdom suddenly came through.


    "Respected seventh-grade citizen Lin Yuan, someone wishes to meet you."


    "Wants to meet me?" Lin Yuan stopped in his tracks, feeling puzzled.


    He had never seen the Goddess of Wisdom deliver messages for others. At least, as a seventh-grade citizen like him, he couldn''t issue such orders to the Goddess of Wisdom.


    "Who?" Lin Yuan asked.


    "A strongest one."


    ...


    PS: Ninth Rank is not the strongest, nor is the tenth rank.


    The former deputy tower master, the protagonist considered him at least Ninth Rank. Given thebat power demonstrated by the deputy tower master, who could crush the ck Abyss Secret Realm in an area of a light-year with just a snap of his fingers, his strength obviously surpassed the Ninth Rank.

 Chapter 234

    Chapter 234


    "There is a Strongest One who wants to see me?"


    Lin Yuan''s mind stirred with waves, for the Strongest One was the towering pir of human civilization.


    Today, human civilization could sweep across the stars and myriad races, relying not only on the coordination of the three goddesses but also on the top-tier strength of the nine Strongest Ones.


    Without the Strongest Ones, human civilization would be utterly incapable of resisting the ''Insect Sea Army'' of the insect race.


    "Yes, the Strongest One who wishes to see you is called ''Xia Qin''," the Goddess of Wisdom replied.


    "Xia Qin, the Strongest One."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts diverged. Xia Qin, the Strongest One, was the third Strongest One of human civilization. The Evolutionary Tower he presided over was located in the northeast region of human civilization''s territory, facing two peak ns alone.


    "How do I meet him?" Lin Yuan asked.


    "In the virtual world, you can meet," the Goddess of Wisdom''s voice was solemn and cold."Understood," Lin Yuan nodded.


    The Strongest One wanting to see him was already within Lin Yuan''s expectations.


    With Lin Yuan''s continuously improving strength, it was inevitable to attract the attention of the Strongest Ones.


    Below the Eighth Rank, the Sixth and Seventh Ranks were not considered by the Strongest Ones, but reaching the Eighth Rank already ssified one as a high-level force in human civilization.


    Moreover, Lin Yuan entered the Eighth Rank at a very young age, less than a hundred years old, to be precise, just over thirty years old.


    Even if the Strongest Ones had not paid attention to Lin Yuan now, when he became invincible at the Eighth Rank and entered the Ninth Rank, he would still have to meet the Strongest Ones.


    A mysterious virtual world.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared, looking around.


    In the distance, there stood a towering man. Though described as towering, he was only three meters tall, yet to Lin Yuan, he felt immensely towering, far surpassing tens of thousands of starsbined.


    "The Strongest One."


    Lin Yuan carefully scrutinized the towering man, feeling his soul trembling. In this towering figure, he seemed to see the vast universe and endless operation of fundamental rules.


    "Space rules? Time rules? No, it''s the fusion of space rules and time rules into temporal-spatial rules? And there are also life rules and causal rules. So many, too many," Lin Yuan forced himself toprehend with his Unrivaled Insight, but found little sess.


    The gap between them was too vast. The reason Lin Yuan couldprehend the many evolutionary paths contained within that body was because the other party had alreadypletely fallen.


    And with the price paid by the Strongest One, the profound mysteries contained within that body were forcibly revealed.


    Combined with the istion of the virtual world.


    This allowed human evolutionary beings of the Sixth and Seventh Ranks toprehend. If there were no preparations as mentioned above and the body was directly brought over forprehension, all Sixth and Seventh Rank evolutionary beings would probably go insane upon seeing it.


    Now, Lin Yuan attempted toprehend ''Xia Qin'' the Strongest One, which was equivalent to directlyprehending the operation of the universe and starry skies, making it difficult toprehend anything in the short term.


    "Interesting little guy," Xia Qin, the Strongest One, observed Lin Yuan and smiled.


    "I''ve met the Strongest One," Lin Yuan immediately said respectfully.


    "Terrifying indeed. So, different rules can be fused?" Lin Yuan vaguely saw the path to the Ninth or even Tenth Rank from the Strongest One.


    For an Eighth Rank evolutionary being to advance to the Ninth Rank, besides having a sufficiently perfect internal world, it also required the fusion of rules.


    The Red Kun Star Lord was stuck on this point, unable to achieve perfect fusion between spatial rules and fire rules.


    But in Xia Qin, the Strongest One, Lin Yuan felt that many rules were integrated into one. Even the two pir rules of time and space were perfectly fused into temporal-spatial rules.


    "Your talent is quite good. Knowing the second way toprehend that body, you must also know about the existence of Devil Jade Tower, right? You should have some extraordinary opportunities beyond the bounds of this world?" Xia Qin, the Strongest One, casually remarked.


    "Yes," Lin Yuan immediately replied.


    But he was inwardly surprised.


    Xia Qin, the Strongest One, also knew about Devil Jade Tower? All along, Lin Yuan had thought that only he knew about Devil Jade Tower, but now it seemed that the Strongest Ones of human civilization had known about it for a long time?


    As for what Xia Qin, the Strongest One, referred to as ''extraordinary opportunities beyond the bounds of this world,'' although not entirely urate, should the Gate to the Myriad Realms also be considered ''extraordinary opportunities beyond the bounds of this world''?


    "Those old guys from the insect race somehow got wind of a Devil Jade Tower Strongest One''s corpse drifting over from somewhere."


    "Devil Jade Tower is a very ancient force. Their tower master has disappeared for who knows how many years, and most of their members have also vanished without a trace."


    Xia Qin, the Strongest One, sighed with emotion.


    Lin Yuan listened obediently below.


    The pressure from the Strongest One was too great for him, and judging from Xia Qin''s tone, the so-called ''extraordinary opportunities beyond the bounds of this world'' were not taken seriously.


    Of course, Lin Yuan was certain that Xia Qin, the Strongest One, had not discovered the existence of the Gate to the Myriad Realms.


    So far, among all the existences Lin Yuan had seen, only the towering Gate to the Myriad Realms in the depths of his mind couldpare to Xia Qin, the Strongest One, before him.


    But the Gate to the Myriad Realms in the depths of his mind was just a negligible projection of the real Gate to the Myriad Realms, which, in terms of hierarchy, surpassed even the Strongest Ones.


    "Also, your spiritual will."


    Xia Qin, the Strongest One, continued to observe Lin Yuan. In a trance, fluctuations in time began to ur.


    "If I''m not mistaken, the years experienced by your spiritual will should be different from those of your physical soul, right?"


    Xia Qin, the Strongest One, smiled.


    As an existence that fully mastered the rules of time, Xia Qin, the Strongest One, observed Lin Yuan for a while and discovered the difference in the passage of time in his body.


    "The years experienced by my spiritual will?" Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.


    He had undergone seven transmigrations, and the actual years experienced should be over a thousand, but he had never told anyone about this. Even Red Kun Star Lord...


    Lin Yuan''s expression slightly changed.


    "Hahahaha, little guy, don''t be nervous. It''s not umon for the years experienced by the spiritual will to surpass those of the physical soul. Many methods and talents can achieve this, such as Great Dream of Ten Thousand Ages, Time House, and so on," chuckled Xia Qin, the Strongest One.


    As a Strongest One, being able to go against the flow of time, one could naturally slow down the passage of time.


    For instance, while an instant passed in the outside world, one could experience millions of years.


    Or, while millions of years passed in the outside world, one might experience just an instant.


    Moreover, many innate abilities and techniques could aplish this feat, mostly rted to time.


    "Great Dream of Ten Thousand Ages, Time House," Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief to himself. Although he didn''t know the specifics, since the Strongest One mentioned it, it must be rted to the speed of time flow.


    Indeed.


    For the Strongest Ones, manipting time wasn''t difficult at all. Even the lives that had died in the past could be resurrected. So, speeding up or slowing down the passage of time was nothing.


    Of course, regarding the flow rate of time, only the Strongest Ones or beings who fully mastered the rules of time could do so, making it one of the most top-tier opportunities.


    "Judging from the passage of time in your spiritual will, your age should be around two thousand years," Xia Qin, the Strongest One, said to Lin Yuan.


    Lin Yuan didn''t speak upon hearing this.


    "Hahahaha, are you now thinking that your reputation as a genius is going to be ruined?" Xia Qin teased.


    "Indeed," Lin Yuan nodded.


    "You don''t need to think like that," Xia Qin said, "If you live long enough, reaching the Eighth Rank is just a matter of time. How could there be only this much Eighth Ranks in my Human Alliance?"


    "Furthermore, the Goddess of Wisdom said that you are the founder of an evolutionary path, paving the way for evolution. Your potential is enormous."


    "With continuous expansion of evolutionary paths, and your spiritual will only being around two thousand years old, achieving such aplishments, in the history of human civilization, your talent is enough to rank in the top twenty or even top ten," Xia Qin said with a smile.


    If Lin Yuan''s spiritual will age were the same as his physical soul, just over thirty years old, he would have doubted whether Lin Yuan had some other origin.


    Crossing into the Eighth Rank at just over thirty years old and opening up enormously potential evolutionary paths was simply impossible.


    Even the Strongest Ones found it absurd.


    "In the history of human civilization, ranked in the top twenty or top ten in talent," Lin Yuan blinked.


    This kind of high evaluation was terrifying. In the history of human civilization, spanning over two million years in the starry sea, how many prodigies and freaks had appeared?


    It even included the nine Strongest Ones. For Lin Yuan to rank in the top twenty or top ten in the history of human civilization, was he not the first in line under the Strongest Ones?


    Hearing Xia Qin, the Strongest One''s evaluation of himself, Lin Yuan couldn''t help but feel a little pleased, but he quickly recovered.


    No matter how strong one''s talent was, it couldn''t be converted into strength, which was meaningless.


    In the over two million years of the starry sea history, many evolvers had the potential to be Strongest Ones, but in the end, human civilization only had nine Strongest Ones.


    "Mastering talents like Great Dream of Ten Thousand Ages can indeed provide significant advantages in the early stages of cultivation, but that''s about it. By the time you reach the Seventh or Eighth Rank, such abilities are no longer so crucial," Xia Qin, the Strongest One, said.


    The so-called Great Dream of Ten Thousand Ages allowed one to experience thousands of years in a dream, a technique that Strongest Ones could easily achieve.


    Even if Lin Yuan utilized a simr ability, he had only used around two thousand years to reach his current level, yet it couldn''t conceal his extraordinary talent.


    That''s why Xia Qin, the Strongest One, evaluated Lin Yuan as ranking in the top twenty or top ten in the history of human civilization.


    "Understood," Lin Yuan said softly.


    In fact, the transmigration function of the Gate to the Myriad Realms was far more than just as simple as Great Dream of Ten Thousand Ages.


    By traveling to a world, one could absorb the essence of its cultivation system andprehend various rule fluctuations in different dimensional dimensions.


    This was much more valuable than the speed of time flow.


    Xia Qin only noticed that Lin Yuan''s spiritual will time flow was incorrect, but did not discover the existence of the Gate to the Myriad Realms.


    "With your talent and potential, there shouldn''t be too many constraints at the Eighth Rank level of cultivation. But when ites to finally merging rules, you must think carefully."


    "The rules of fusion here are not the fusion of ordinary rules, but the fusion of pir rules with other rules."


    "You should consider carefully which rules to fuse with the pir rules," Xia Qin reminded.


    "Thank you for the guidance, Strongest One," Lin Yuan nodded. The so-called pir rules were space rules, time rules, life rules, and so on.


    "Since you''ve already crossed into the Eighth Rank, I assume you''re going to be stationed in a Star Domain for five hundred years?" Xia Qin looked at Lin Yuan.


    "Yes," Lin Yuan nodded.


    "But I haven''t decided which star domain yet," Lin Yuan said.


    "The border Star Domain is fraught with danger. Let me give you a treasure," Xia Qi said.


    "Don''t refuse. Do you think your strength is very strong? Do you have the ability to create clones? Or do you think we can resurrect you if you die?"


    Xia Qin looked at Lin Yuan and shook his head.


    "The ability to create clones is not foolproof, and resurrection is not something that can be done casually," Xia Qin said.


    "For example, memory contamination. Even with many clones, they will all die. After resurrection, as long as the memory remains, they will still die."


    "Memory contamination," Lin Yuan''s expression became solemn. This method was more restrictive than the curse of death. With Lin Yuan''s current strength, it would be difficult for anyone, even a Tenth Rank Strongest One, to contaminate his memories.


    "I will bestow upon you a treasure called the ''Divine Sealing Bead.'' Even if a Strongest One attempts to contaminate your memories or uses other means against you, you can persevere in an instant," Xia Qin, the Strongest One, said calmly.


    "At that time, just self-explode, and wait for me to resurrect you."


    "Can it withstand the attack of a Strongest One in an instant?"


    Lin Yuan was shocked. What kind of existence were the Strongest Ones? Their methods of attack were unpredictable. Before meeting Xia Qin, a member of an alien race had attempted to kill Lin Yuan, which wasn''t too difficult.


    They could even achieve permanent death, unable to be resurrected.


    But the Strongest Ones had their pride. Lin Yuan''s current external performance was just an Eighth Rank under a hundred years old, not worth the Strongest Ones'' intervention.


    If Lin Yuan were to reveal not only his status as an Eighth Rank under a hundred years old but also as the founder of the Martial Path Evolutionary Path, then things would be unpredictable.


    "Remember," Xia Qin said sternly. "Once the ''Divine Sealing Bead'' is activated passively, you must choose to self-explode without hesitation. Absolutely do not dy." (a g?)


    Only if Lin Yuan had not been subjected to memory contamination or other methods could Xia Qin intervene to resurrect him, without causing permanent harm.


    But once contaminated with memory, it would be like facing a cmity of the heart. Even the Strongest Ones couldn''t remove everything, and even if resurrected, one would still die if the memory remained.


    "I understand," Lin Yuan said in a deep voice.


    What Xia Qin, the Strongest One, was considering was the extreme situations Lin Yuan would face. Would the Strongest Ones intervene? Under normal circumstances, they wouldn''t.


    If an alien Strongest One attempted to erase a human genius, the human civilization''s Strongest Ones would intervene to eliminate the alien genius.


    In this way, no one would dare to leave their homes.


    Unless the alien Strongest Ones saw hope of bing Strongest Ones in Lin Yuan.


    Otherwise, they wouldn''t bother to pay attention.


    And there were still some Eighth Rank evolvers under a hundred years old in human civilization''s history, but in the end, few could touch the realm of the Strongest Ones.


    Xia Qin, the Strongest One, knew that Lin Yuan was the creator of the Martial Path Evolutionary Path. As the founder, he could still reach this stage even without a path forward, indeed having the potential to be a Strongest One.


    But what Xia Qin knew and the alien Strongest Ones didn''t was that only the three Goddesses and the nine Strongest Ones knew that Lin Yuan was the founder of the Martial Path Evolutionary Path in the entire human civilization.


    "The Divine Sealing Bead, I will have someone deliver it to you as soon as possible," Xia Qin waved his hand and sent Lin Yuan away from this virtual world.


    When Lin Yuan disappeared, Xia Qin began to retract his smile.


    "I hope... you can grow up smoothly," Xia Qin looked at thest position where Lin Yuan stood, his eyes filled with anticipation.

 Chapter 235

    Consciousness returned to reality.


    In Lin Yuan''s mind, scenes of his exchange with Xia Qin, the Strongest One, kept shing.


    "The Strongest One is too terrifying."


    Lin Yuan eximed inwardly, realizing that even with just his consciousness incarnated in the virtual world, he could perceive the traces of his own spiritual will aging over the years.


    "But the Gate of the Myriad Realms."


    Lin Yuan was certain that Xia Qin, the Strongest One, hadn''t sensed the Gate of the Myriad Realms at all.


    Although he had only experienced seven transmigrations, Lin Yuan was clear about the immense value of the Gate of the Myriad Realms for human civilization.


    If human civilization could control the Gate of the Myriad Realms, there would be no need for continuous warfare with other peak groups in the surrounding area.


    Why did the Alliance of Human Civilization constantly incite wars? Resources.It was all for resources.


    In the vast expanse of the universe, resources were finite.


    For human civilization to continue to develop, it had to continuously plunder resources.


    And this inevitably led to conflicts with other peak groups, thereby sparking wars.


    With the Gate of the Myriad Realms, however, human civilization could invade other dimensional worlds and obtain vast resources.


    Lin Yuan was well aware of this, but he would never proactively disclose the existence of the Gate of the Myriad Realms to anyone.


    Human hearts are inscrutable.


    In the face of absolute interests, no one can guarantee what they might do.


    Perhaps in the future, when Lin Yuan became the Strongest One or even surpassed the Strongest One, he would use the Gate of the Myriad Realms to open channels to other dimensional worlds, allowing the Evolvers of human civilization to expand their territories.


    As for now, Lin Yuan would absolutely not reveal the existence of the Gate of the Myriad Realms to anyone.


    This was Lin Yuan''s biggest trump card.


    The thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage advancing to the Eighth Rank was a sensational event in the Red Kun Star Domain and the Annan Star Alliance.


    Especially since the Grand Peak Master had also reached the Eighth Rank before this, in a short period, the Red Kun Lineage had gained two additional Eighth Ranks, indicating a significant increase in its heritage.


    As a result, the Red Kun Lineage decided to hold a grand ceremony to celebrate the birth of the two Eighth Ranks.


    The celebration took ce in the virtual world, and prominent forces or independent Evolvers with some reputation from the Annan Star Alliance and dozens of surrounding star alliances all rushed over, making it much grander than the ceremony held when Lin Yuan advanced to the Sixth Rank.


    For the Red Kun Star Domain, the birth of another Peak Master was a big deal, but it didn''t have much significance beyond the domain.


    However, the birth of an Eighth Rank Evolver, especially one like Lin Yuan who was under a hundred years old, meant potential terror for the future of any force.


    At this moment, noting to congratte meant missing the opportunity in the future.


    "Is that the Red Maple Star Lord? Is that the Wan Yang Star Lord? Even the Golden Dragon Star Lord is here?"


    "So many Eighth Rank Star Lords, even the Invincible Eighth Ranks havee, many of them."


    "This scale isparable to a Star Alliance-level celebration."


    Guests whispered quietly. In their respective star domains, they were all prominent figures reigning over their own territories, but here, they were just ordinary.


    At the celebration of the thirteenth Peak Master, only the Eighth Rank Star Lords could attract extra attention. As for Seventh and Sixth Rank Evolvers, there were too many to even notice.


    "That should be the thirteenth Peak Master, so young."


    "Yes, indeed. I wonder how he cultivated to reach the Eighth Rank at such a young age."


    Countless guests were most interested in Lin Yuan. While the Grand Peak Master''s advancement to the Eighth Rank was impressive,pared to the thirteenth Peak Master, it paled inparison.


    Lin Yuan sat with his family at one table, surrounded by other tables upied by Star Lords.


    "So many important figures."


    Lin Yi nced around. Thankfully, it was in the virtual world; the aura of high-level Evolvers was restrained. If it were in reality, as a low-level Evolver like her, she would probably feel uneasy with just a nce.


    It was the oppression of the essence of life.


    "Little Yuan, about this..."


    Father Lin Shoucheng sighed. His son was indeed remarkable. He had thought that Lin Yuan bing the thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage was already an extraordinary result. But now, Lin Yuan had reached the Eighth Rank, and he had done so before reaching a hundred years of age.


    During this time, countless huge forces from other star domains, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, had contacted him.


    Their purpose was to curry favor with Lin Yuan.


    "Little Yuan, I heard that Eighth Rank Evolvers need to go to the border star domains to preside. Is it very dangerous?"


    Mother Lin Qiong whispered, her tone revealing concern.


    "It''s a bit dangerous, but I can handle it."


    Lin Yuan smiled.


    The one going to the border star domains was Lin Yuan''s original body. As for the Yin and Yang Spirits, one was in the Alien Battlefield, and the other was on the main star of the Red Kun Lineage.


    They were quite safe.


    The method of splitting into avatars required the original body to be present to resurrect the avatars.


    If the original body fell, then all the avatars would fall as well.


    But Lin Yuan''s Martial Soul was not strictly a split.


    There was no need for the original body to be present to condense the Yin and Yang Spirits.


    Even if the original body fell, the Yin and Yang Spirits could recreate the physical body using the method of Tai Chi creating everything.


    Of course, with the martial skill "Blood Rebirth," Lin Yuan didn''t need to go through all that trouble.


    "Disciple,e over here for a moment."


    At that moment, the Red Kun Star Lord''s voice rang in Lin Yuan''s ears.


    "I''ll be back in a moment."


    Lin Yuan got up and greeted his parents.


    "These few are my good friends. I wanted to introduce you to them." The Red Kun Star Lord was chatting andughing with several other Star Lords.


    Upon seeing Lin Yuan approach, he immediately introduced them.


    "This is your little disciple."


    "Truly terrifying talent, an Eighth Rank under a hundred years old. Old Red Kun, you''re really lucky, aren''t you?"


    A Star Lord spoke up.


    When Lin Yuan first advanced to the Sixth Rank under a hundred years old, most of these Star Lords admired Old Red Kun''s adeptness in guiding his disciples.


    But now, with Lin Yuan advancing to the Eighth Rank under a hundred years old, the tone of all the Star Lords changed, believing that Old Red Kun was just lucky.


    Several Star Lords even had envy in their eyes when they saw Lin Yuan, thinking that if they had such a disciple, they wouldn''t be any worse off than Old Red Kun.


    And indeed, it was true.


    Old Red Kun knew his own business.


    His guidance for Lin Yuan was really minimal.


    Aside from material resources, Old Red Kun''s guidance had not exceeded five times.


    "Hahaha, what''s wrong? Luck is also a kind of strength. Don''t ept it? Then you find a disciple like this too."


    Old Red Kun was in a good mood. Instead of refuting, he took pride in it.


    The celebrationsted for several days.


    Lin Yuan soon resumed his cultivation.


    "The Eighth Rank Path of Martial Evolution focuses on the fusion of rules."


    Lin Yuan thought quickly in his mind, with arge number of insights surging in his mind. The gains fromprehending that fragment of the body were now fully transformed into heritage, driving Lin Yuan to continuously open up the Eighth Rank Path of Martial Evolution.


    "The fusion of rules must include a core rule. I will merge the Space Rule with the Yin-Yang Rule."


    The foundation of Lin Yuan''s martial arts cultivation was the Yin-Yang and Tai Chi principles.


    Therefore, in the fusion of rules at the Eighth Rank, it was natural for him to merge the Yin-Yang with the Space Rule.


    This was the path of martial evolution that had been set since the Second Rank and Third Rank.


    Of course, other martial evolutionists didn''t have to do the same. They could follow their own paths, not limited to Yin-Yang principles.


    After finishing his cultivation for the day, Lin Yuan began to inventory the gifts given to him by other evolutionists.


    Since the Red Kun Lineage was holding a celebration, most of the participating evolutionists would express their congrattions to some extent.


    Especially for the thirteenth Peak Master, whose potential was limitless, why wouldn''t they invest now? If they waited until the thirteenth Peak Master became invincible at the Eighth Rank or even at the Ninth Rank, would they still have the chance?


    Although investing now was just icing on the cake, it was better than not investing at all.


    "All the gifts together amount to about one hundred and fifty thousand universal crystals."


    Lin Yuan was in a good mood. This was much more than the gifts he received when he advanced to a Level 7 Citizen.


    When Lin Yuan advanced to a Level 7 Citizen, he concealed his true identity, and many evolutionists were unwilling to invest too much.


    But now, advancing to an Eighth Rank Evolver under a hundred years old, which evolutionist would dare to underestimate this gimmick?


    "With my current universal crystals, plus the ie from several other things, it''s close to two hundred thousand universal crystals."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    Universal crystals were the universal currency , and they not only had mary value but also practical value.


    Two hundred thousand universal crystals exceeded the wealth of most ordinary Eighth Rank pinnacle evolutionists.


    Of course, for most Eighth Rank evolutionists, their wealth was concentrated in weapons and treasures, and the quantity of universal crystals was not the main focus.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan looked up, gazing outside the hall.


    "Thirteenth Peak Master."


    Lin Yuan walked out of the hall and saw a thin man standing there.


    "You are?"


    Lin Yuan looked at the thin man, slightly surprised.


    This man''s appearance was extremely simr to the Vice Tower Master Nn, who had recently destroyed arge area of the ck Abyss Secret Realm with a snap of his fingers.


    Of course, Lin Yuan had determined through the video that the other party was at least a Ninth Rank Evolver, with a high probability of being even stronger.


    After all, the ck Abyss n also had five or six Ninth Rank powerhouses, but in front of Vice Tower Master Nn, those five or six Ninth Rank powerhouses didn''t even dare to leave the secret realm. They could only watch as Vice Tower Master Nn shattered arge area of the secret realm''s edge.


    Until the insect race powerhouse came to support, Vice Tower Master Nn stopped and left.


    "The Tower Master asked me to give this to you."


    Vice Tower Master Nn smiled slightly and handed a metal box to Lin Yuan.


    "Okay."


    Lin Yuan''s expression was solemn as he took the metal box.


    "The Tower Master values you greatly. I haven''t seen the Tower Master treat a junior like this in a long time." Vice Tower Master Nn smiled faintly and then disappeared directly.


    "Vice Tower Master Nn."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts turned. Vice Tower Master Nn should be the Vice Tower Master of the Evolution Tower where Xia Qin, the Strongest One, was stationed.


    "The Evolution Tower where Xia Qin is stationed is thousands of light-years away from the Red Kun Star Domain. Even if continuous wormhole were used, it would take hundreds or thousands of years to arrive. Vice Tower Master Nn arrived in less than half a month."


    Lin Yuan was somewhat astonished.


    "It is said that afterprehending theplete model of the Space Rule, one will master extensive teleportation abilities. With one teleportation, hundreds or thousands of light-years are just a step away, but that is an ability that only Ninth Rank Evolvers can master."


    Lin Yuan thought silently.


    At the edge of human civilization territory.


    Several formidable wills prated.


    "Who exactly was it that noticed the talent of the thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage but didn''t report it to the Insect Race Alliance in time?"


    The strongest of these wills suppressed their anger.


    If they had known that the thirteenth Peak Master could reach the Eighth Rank under a hundred years old, they would have paid any price to kill him before he reached the Sixth Rank.


    If they killed him before the Sixth Rank, even the Strongest One wouldn''t be able to resurrect him.


    "Those few who didn''t report it in time are the sinners of the Insect Race Alliance!" This strongest will questioned the other wills.


    "I''m not sure either. General Panyong was responsible for the Red Kun Star Domain at the time, but he disappeared some time ago, and we couldn''t find him no matter how hard we looked."


    One of the wills immediately spoke up.


    "Yes, us too. He just disappeared suddenly, and now we can''t know why he didn''t report it back then."


    "Disappeared? How convenient," the strongest will clearly didn''t believe it.


    As long as the person involved couldn''t be found, evidence couldn''t be formed, and the Insect Race couldn''t punish the corresponding tribe.


    "I specte that those few people were probably bought off by human civilization a long time ago, which is also a blow to us."


    The third will spoke up immediately.


    "Bought off?" The strongest will had no expression on its face.


    "I will continue to report this matter. You few tribes, wait and see." The strongest will said, then dissipated directly.


    Red Kun Main Star.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    "This is the Divine Sealing Bead?"


    "The treasure that can withstand the instantaneous attack of a powerhouse?"


    Lin Yuan opened the metal box, and a colorless transparent bead slowly floated up.


    It emitted an extremely gentle power, making Lin Yuan''s soul feel as if it were soaking in a hot spring.


    "Much more precious than the Eighth Rank soul defense treasure. Even the original Essence Gold given by my teacher can''tpare to it."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The original Essence Gold was indeed precious, with growth properties, but to grow to the level of a powerhouse, who knows how many resources would be needed.


    And this Divine Sealing Bead should be a treasure at the level of a powerhouse. Otherwise, it wouldn''t be able to withstand the instantaneous attack of a powerhouse.


    It''s worth noting that a powerhouse who masters theplete Time Rule can kill an Eighth Rank evolver without the other party even reacting. But this Divine Sealing Bead can forcibly seize a moment of time.


    With that moment of time, Lin Yuan could choose to explode himself.


    As long as he didn''t receive the memory pollution from the powerhouse, so-called death, under the resurrection means of the powerhouse, was just a nap.


    "With the Sun Spirit on the Red Kun Main Star, even if I encounter a powerhouse, I can directly end myself, and I don''t need the powerhouse to resurrect."


    Lin Yuan thought silently.


    Anyway, if you can avoid death, why not?


    After sessfully refining the Divine Sealing Bead.


    Lin Yuan began to consider what he would face next.


    That is, to choose an edge star domain, and then go to guard it for five hundred years.


    "Most Eighth Rank evolvers guard for far more than five hundred years. For example, the Red Kun Star Lord, who has been guarding the Red Kun Star Domain since he first reached the Eighth Rank and hasn''t left until now."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    People have emotions, and evolvers are no exception.


    "Let me see, which star domain should I choose."


    Lin Yuan opened the map of the human alliance territory and carefully examined it.


    The edge area where Eighth Rank evolvers are stationed will have the power to name it. The Red Kun Star Domain wasn''t called the Red Kun Star Domain at first.


    After the Red Kun Star Lord took over, it became the Red Kun Star Domain.


    "Right here."


    Lin Yuan''s heart moved as he looked at a certain position on the map.


    ...

 Chapter 236

    Chapter 236


    "Here it is."


    Lin Yuan looked towards the edge of the map, a star domain that had just been incorporated into the human civilization''s territory, and made his decision.


    Human civilization was constantly expanding its borders, withrge swathes of star systems being brought into its domain every day.


    These star systems needed sufficient strong individuals to integrate into human civilization in order to facilitaterge-scale migration.


    And sufficient strong individuals meant eighth-rank evolvers.


    In the wars between various cosmic civilizations, the upper limit was mostly capped at the eighth rank. Ninth-rank evolvers? They were only deployed inrge-scale conflicts, like the recent purge of various cosmic civilizations by human civilization against the Insectoid Grand Alliance.


    However, such instances were rare and primarily urred when the Insectoids sought to monopolize an ultimate evolutionary path without a strongest one existence.


    This would inevitably anger human civilization.


    The Insectoids, being self-aware, did not resist fiercely when faced with the purge by human civilization. Otherwise, it would lead to a full-scale war between the two peak cosmic civilizations.Therefore, in normal-scale conflicts, eighth-rankbatants were already at the peak. As for ninth or tenth rank? Even inrge-scale alien battlefields, ninth or tenth rank individuals would not easily intervene.


    Human civilization appointing eighth-rank evolvers to oversee the border star domains was already a significant gesture of importance.


    "This star domain has a total of twelve star systems. Initial surveys suggest there are up to one million and five hundred thousand habitables suitable for normal human habitation, with over ten billion resources of various kinds."


    Lin Yuan carefully perused the detailed information about this star domain. Since it was only a preliminary survey, much of the information was not urate, but it was enough for him to get a general idea.


    Overall, the star domain he had chosen was about half the size of the Red Kun Star Domain, as indicated by the number of habitables.


    Most importantly, the neighboring alien races of this star domain did not have peak-level civilizations, so it was rtively safe.


    "In the future, this star domain will be where I preside for five hundred years or even longer."


    Lin Yuan observed the star domain on the map from various angles.


    "Let''s proceed with the application."


    After some contemtion, Lin Yuan began his application to the Goddess of Wisdom.


    "Application approved."


    "Next, there will be personnel to verify your strength."


    The solemn and cold voice of the Goddess of Wisdom echoed.


    "Understood."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    Although the Red Kun Lineage had issued an announcement confirming his advancement to the eighth rank, he still needed official confirmation from the human civilization authorities before going to preside over the star domain.


    It wasn''t that they doubted the authenticity of the Red Kun Lineage''s announcement, but it was part of the standard procedure.


    Even the disciples of the strongest ones had to go through this standard procedure after reaching the eighth rank.


    "Before leaving, Teacher wants me to visit him?"


    Lin Yuan received a message from Red Kun Star Lord, feeling a slight movement in his heart.


    Before the Great Peak Master left, he also visited the Red Kun Star Lord. It should be that the Red Kun Star Lord personally gave him some treasures to deal with the many challenges of the border star domain.


    The border star domain wasplex, and although human civilization had driven out the alien races on the surface, many problems still remained.


    For example, how to deal with certain special life races?


    These special life races had been living here since the beginning and had no hostile behavior towards human civilization. How should they be dealt with after human civilization upied this star domain?


    These were all difficult problems.


    Two dayster.


    Officials from human civilization arrived at the Red Kun Star.


    "Thirteenth Peak Master."


    There were two officials, one tall and one thin.


    "This is the procedure, I hope Thirteenth Peak Master understands."


    The thin official smiled.


    Many eighth-rank evolvers tended to reject such behavior, but rules were rules, and to wield many of the great powers of a star domain, one naturally needed to go through multiple processes.


    "I understand."


    Lin Yuan didn''t mind.


    "Thirteenth Peak Master, you can activate the power of the world and use this crystal ball." The tall official took out a crystal ball and ced it in front of Lin Yuan.


    The crystal ball was transparent, with little specks of starlight inside, resembling a starry sea.


    "Okay."


    Lin Yuan''s mind moved slightly, activating a strand of world power and contacting the crystal ball before quickly retracting it.


    Hum.


    The crystal ball vibrated faintly, emitting strands of golden light.


    "There''s no problem with Thirteenth Peak Master''s world power." The thin official''s pupils contracted slightly, exchanging a nce with the tall official before hurriedly saying.


    They had verified the strength of many eighth-rank evolvers and considered themselves experienced. However, they were still shocked by the quality of the Thirteenth Peak Master''s world power.


    It was nearly at the level of an eighth-rank peak evolver''s world power.


    The two officials were astonished. They had initially thought that Thirteenth Peak Master, who had reached the eighth rank under a hundred years old, would not have a foundation as stable as those who had spent tens of thousands of years reaching the eighth rank.


    But now, from just a strand of Thirteenth Peak Master''s world power, they could see that the stability of his internal world far exceeded that of ordinary evolvers who had just reached the eighth rank.


    "Thirteenth Peak Master, please drop a drop of blood here." The tall official took out a metal bowl and ced it in front of Lin Yuan.


    To confirm whether an evolver had reached the eighth rank, it was necessary to examine them from three aspects.


    First is the power of the world.


    Second is the strength of the physical body.


    Third is the strength of the soul.


    Just relying on the power of the world alone cannot determine whether one has reached the eighth rank. Some seventh-rank evolvers can create internal worlds before reaching the pinnacle of the seventh rank.


    Lin Yuan even opened up his internal world before breaking through to the seventh rank.


    Only bybining with the strength of the physical body and the strength of the soul can it be determined whether an evolver has crossed into the eighth rank.


    Swish.


    Lin Yuan squeezed out a drop of blood.


    After confirming it with the thin official, Lin Yuan''s mind moved slightly, causing the drop of blood to dissipate into thin air.


    Having mastered the fleshly technique ''Blood Rebirth,'' Lin Yuan had absolute control over every drop of his blood.


    After verifying the physical body.


    Lin Yuan proceeded to verify the strength of his soul.


    Soon enough, the two officials confirmed it.


    Thirteenth Peak Master had indeed crossed into the eighth rank.


    Even during the confirmation process, the two officials spected that Thirteenth Peak Master''s strength was far beyond that of ordinary eighth-rank evolvers.


    "Thirteenth Peak Master."


    "We havepleted the confirmation."


    The two officials spoke with slight reverence.


    "Thank you."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    "I wonder if the Peak Master has chosen a name for the star domain you wish to preside over?" the thin official asked curiously.


    "A name?"


    Lin Yuan pondered for a moment before saying, "I''ve already thought of one."


    "What is it?" the thin official asked with curiosity.


    This wasn''t much of a secret; the name of a star domain would eventually be made public.


    "Let''s call it ''Milky Way''," Lin Yuan said calmly but with profound meaning in his voice.


    "The Milky Way Star Domain?"


    "Milky Way?"


    The two officials didn''t understand the meaning of this name, but they congratted Milky Way Star Lord on his uing appointment.


    With the star domain named ''Milky Way'', Lin Yuan naturally became the Milky Way Star Lord.


    "Milky Way Star Lord."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts wandered.


    He named the star domain ''Milky Way'' tomemorate his time on Earth, which was located in the Milky Way gxy, before crossing into this vast universe.


    After the two officials left.


    Less than a minuteter.


    Lin Yuan received confirmation from the Goddess of Wisdom.


    "Respected Seventh Level Citizen Lin Yuan, your application for the star domain has been approved."


    "Next, please select the primary star configuration."


    The solemn and cold voice of the Goddess of Wisdom echoed.


    "Primary star configuration?" Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.


    He knew what the primary star was. It was the core of a star domain, like the Red Kun Main Star in the Red Kun Star Domain.


    "Respected Seventh Level Citizen Lin Yuan, the primary star configuration refers to selecting the level of resource transformation for the primary star."


    "As a newly incorporated star domain, the human civilization authorities provide free C-level transformation. After you confirm the primary star, specialized evolvers will be sent to carry out the transformation to give it basicbat capabilities."


    The Goddess of Wisdom exined.


    "I see."


    Lin Yuan understood.


    The Red Kun Main Star, as the most prosperous ce in the Red Kun Star Domain, even eighth-rank evolvers dared not act recklessly there.


    What was it relying on?


    Was it solely the Red Kun Star Lord?


    Certainly not.


    The Red Kun Star Lord spent most of his time in seclusion. Apart from what happened on the thirteen peaks, he rarely intervened in other areas.


    Ordinary management of the Red Kun Main Star was handled byary defense systems and other war technology weapons.


    Theary defense system on the Red Kun Main Star was enough to easily suppress ordinary eighth-rank evolvers.


    "What level ofary defense system is C-level transformation?" Lin Yuan asked.


    "It can suppress all sixth-rank strong individuals and most seventh-rank strong individuals," the Goddess of Wisdom replied.


    "And what about higher-level transformations?"


    Lin Yuan continued to inquire.


    "B-level transformation can suppress all seventh-rank strong individuals and most eighth-rank strong individuals. The Star Lord needs to pay an additional one hundred thousand universe crystals."


    "A-level transformation can suppress almost all eighth-rank evolvers, except for invincible eighth-rank evolvers. The Star Lord needs to pay an additional one million universe crystals."


    The voice of the Goddess of Wisdom came.


    "So expensive?" Lin Yuan was somewhat amazed. Even for B-level transformation, one hundred thousand universe crystals were needed.


    What concept was this? It was equivalent to the total wealth of an eighth-rank peak evolver, including the value of treasures and weapons, all added up.


    A-level transformation was even more so.


    But its effectiveness was also evident. B-level transformation could easily deal with most eighth-rank evolvers, which was invaluable in itself.


    "The primary star of a star domain is the future economic and political center. There must be no hidden dangers in terms of security."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    As long as the primary star was managed well, it would be a money-making machine in the future. How much profit could the Red Kun Main Star generate for the Red Kun Star Lord every day, with numerous merchants from surrounding star domains gathering there?


    "I choose B-level transformation."


    After some thought, Lin Yuan spoke.


    Whether it was B-level or A-level transformation, it was a ''benefit'' given by human civilization to the Star Lords.


    Aary defense system capable of suppressing most eighth-rank strong individuals, if privately purchased, would cost hundreds of thousands of universe crystals.


    "B-level transformation requires one hundred thousand universe crystals. Respected Seventh Level Citizen Lin Yuan, please confirm," the voice of the Goddess of Wisdom came.


    "Confirmed."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    In the next moment.


    His ount bnce was reduced by one hundred thousand universe crystals.


    "So quickly deducted?" Lin Yuan felt a bit of heartache. One hundred thousand universe crystals, if left in his ount for a while, would generate tens of millions of civilization coins in interest.


    "This money really must be spent" Lin Yuan sighed.


    After the eighth-rank celebration, Lin Yuan''s total wealth once reached nearly two hundred thousand universe crystals.


    Now it had suddenly shrunk by more than half.


    "I''ll be able to earn it back in the future."


    "As long as the primary star is safe and sound, it''s bound to be the economic center of a star domain. At that time, who would worry about not making it back?" Lin Yuanforted himself.


    These were all early investments. If given the choice, Lin Yuan even wanted to choose A-level transformation.


    After his application for the star domain was approved.


    Lin Yuan didn''t return to the main hall.


    Instead, he went straight to the crimson pce where the Red Kun Star Lord was in seclusion.


    "Teacher."


    In the pce, Lin Yuan bowed slightly to the Red Kun Star Lord.


    Even though Lin Yuan had now crossed into the eighth rank, he still felt a sense of powerlessness when facing the Red Kun Star Lord.


    You should know that although Lin Yuan had just entered the eighth rank, relying on the world within his body, he was capable of fighting againstte eighth-rank and even peak evolvers.


    "So this is the invincible eighth rank? Mastering a kind of cosmic power?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Every invincible eighth-rank evolver possessed a power that surpassed the eighth rank.


    This power was also known as the ''power of the universe.''


    Invincible eighth-rank evolvers, fundamentally, were still in the fourth stage of the eighth rank, which was the extreme stage of the eighth rank.


    But in terms ofbat power, invincible eighth-rank evolvers were almost crushingpared to the extreme stage of the eighth rank. ck Abyss Qing Yu, the invincible eighth-rank evolver of the ck Abyss n a million years ago, killed Ouyin, ate eighth-rank evolver, with just one soul attack.


    Every invincible eighth-rank evolver was unique, and the cosmic power they mastered was also different.


    "Good disciple, have you chosen the star domain?" The Red Kun Star Lord looked at Lin Yuan with a smile.


    Among his thirteen disciples, Lin Yuan was the most reassuring and currently the most aplished.


    It could be predicted that Lin Yuan would also be the most aplished in the future.


    "Teacher, I have chosen," Lin Yuan replied.


    He immediately took out a map and marked the area of the star domain.


    "There?"


    "That''s fine too."


    The Red Kun Star Lord nodded.


    "When going to the border star domain, you must be careful. By the way, have you met the Strongest One?" the Red Kun Star Lord suddenly asked.


    If it was only a seventh rank under a hundred years old, the Strongest One was very likely not to pay attention. But if it was an eighth rank under a hundred years old, the Red Kun Star Lord could almost be sure that it would attract the attention of the Strongest Ones.


    "Teacher, the Strongest One I met is Xia Qin," Lin Yuan said.


    There was no need to conceal this. How could a supreme genius evolver who ranked in the top twenty or top ten of human civilization history have not met a Strongest One?


    "Xia Qin, the Strongest One. That''s one of the Strongest Ones known for his prowess in human civilization," the Red Kun Star Lord said.


    There were nine Strongest Ones in human civilization.


    Each Strongest One excelled in different aspects.


    To be precise, the Strongest Ones had no shorings. It was just that their advantages differed from those of other Strongest Ones.


    For example, although the Strongest One known as Yu Die was not good at frontalbat, the evolutionary path he was on could construct a virtual universe.


    The current virtual world of human civilization came from the ''authority'' of the Strongest One Yu Die, which could almost perfectly replicate everything in the universe, even simting rules.


    The importance of Strongest One Yu Die was no less than that of Strongest One Xia Qin.

    Chapter 237


    "Alright."


    "You don''t need to tell me about your conversation with the Strongest One."


    "This time, I''ve called you here to consider your future role in overseeing the star domain."


    The Red Kun Star Lord looked down at Lin Yuan and spoke.


    As a teacher, with a disciple traveling far to oversee a distant star domain, it''s natural to make proper arrangements.


    "Your strength is far superior to your senior brother''s, so I''m not worried about that." A smile appeared on the Red Kun Star Lord''s face.


    To be able to have nearlyte-stage to peak battle strength upon entering the eighth rank is rare even in the entire Annan Star Alliance.


    If you add the condition of being under a hundred years old, there are few in the Human Civilization Alliance who canpare.


    The Red Kun Star Lord was unaware that Lin Yuan''s true mental age was over a thousand years and also unaware that Lin Yuan had pioneered his own path of evolution from nothing.Compared to being a thousand years old, creating a martial evolution path is even more extraordinary.


    Evolver Xia Qin thus ranked Lin Yuan among the top ten or twenty geniuses in human civilization history.


    "But in a strange star domain, relying on strength alone may not be enough. You need trustworthy subordinates." The Red Kun Star Lord''s mind stirred.


    Two figures appeared not far away.


    One had dark red skin, the other had pointed ears and emerald green eyes.


    It was obvious they were not human evolvers.


    "Star Lord."


    The two figures slightly bowed towards the Red Kun Star Lord.


    "From today, you will follow my disciple," the Red Kun Star Lord pointed to Lin Yuan and said.


    "Yes."


    The two figures walked up to Lin Yuan.


    "Them?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression changed slightly.


    Upon closer inspection, these two figures were both eighth-rank powerhouses, and not just at the early eighth rank.


    "They are my servants, not human evolvers. One is called Red Skin, mid-eighth rank, and the other is Green Eyes,te-eighth rank."


    "There is no problem with their loyalty."


    "With their assistance, you won''t be overwhelmed in the peripheral star domain," the Red Kun Star Lord said casually.


    "Teacher, this is too valuable."


    Lin Yuan said solemnly.


    Two loyal eighth-rank non-human subordinates, this was simply beyond words.


    In terms of merit points, two eighth-rank non-humans are equivalent to two million merit points.


    But in reality, the value of living eighth-rank non-humans far exceeds 2 million merit points. An eighth-rank non-human, if stationed on the alien battlefield for a long time, could earn 2 million merit points over tens of thousands of years.


    This doesn''t include other earnings.


    "Why are you being so polite with me?"


    "With my current strength, do you think I need them?"


    The Red Kun Star Lord red at Lin Yuan.


    "But..."


    Lin Yuan felt slightly conflicted.


    The Red Kun Star Lord, being invincible at the eighth rank, indeed had no use for mid-tote eighth-rank subordinates.


    But not needing them doesn''t mean they have no value. cing these two eighth-rank non-humans on the battlefield could earn the Red Kun Star Lord a massive fortune over time.


    Having two eighth-rank non-humans working for you is an extravagant thing.


    "No buts."


    "Just take them."


    The Red Kun Star Lord waved his hand, "Go back. If there''s any problem, contact me in the virtual world."


    "Thank you, teacher."


    Lin Yuan solemnly bowed to the Red Kun Star Lord.


    Although Lin Yuan had Yin and Yang Spirits, the Yin Spirit needed to elerate the umtion of source power in the permanent space rift on the alien battlefield.


    The Yang Spirit stayed on the main Red Kun star for protection.


    Relying on his main body alone, many things in the peripheral star domain would be cumbersome.


    But with these two eighth-rank subordinates, many things could be easily handled.


    Thirteenth Peak.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    Red Skin and Green Eyes stood in front of him.


    "Introduce yourselves."


    Lin Yuan asked.


    "Peak Master, I am Red Skin."


    The dark red-skinned non-human said.


    "My strength is mid-eighth rank, following the rules of fire and space, with an internal world of 9,800 miles in circumference."


    Red Skin quickly said.


    "Peak Master, I am Green Eyes."


    The emerald-eyed non-human continued, "I amte-eighth rank, proficient in the rules of life, with an internal world of 32,000 miles in circumference."


    "If the Peak Master suffers any injury, as long as the soul is notpletely copsed, I can at least ensure the Peak Master doesn''t die immediately."


    Green Eyes said.


    "Life rules?"


    Lin Yuan nced at Green Eyes.


    The rules of life, along with the rules of space and time, are one of the pirs of the universe.


    Currently, Lin Yuan''s understanding of the rules of life is only slightly better than entry-level.


    "I understand."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    "You will stay in my internal world."


    Lin Yuan nced at the two non-humans, moved his mind, and brought them into his internal world.


    In the internal world, Lin Yuan is like a creator god, able to easily manipte the entire world''s power.


    "Teacher has really helped me this time."


    Lin Yuan thought silently.


    With the assistance of Red Skin and Green Eyes, Lin Yuan felt much more at ease.


    Establishing a star domain and governing billions of citizens involves many aspects. Having two capable assistants saves a lot of trouble.


    Half a dayter.


    "Master, your customized ss A spaceship has arrived," the intelligent assistant''s voice sounded in Lin Yuan''s ear.


    "The spaceship has arrived."


    Lin Yuan felt a slight excitement.


    Previously, the spaceships Lin Yuan bought were all standard ones with average performance.


    For wormhole travel, both the distance and cooldown time couldn''tpare to B-ss and A-ss spaceships.


    Of course, at that time, Lin Yuan didn''t care much about the spaceship''s performance, as it was mainly used by his Yin and Yang Spirits for travel.


    As long as it was functional, it was fine.


    But now, with Lin Yuan going to the peripheral star domain in person, a high-quality spaceship was necessary.


    This type of spaceship not only had a significant speed advantage but also had special functions for escape and survival.


    Lin Yuan walked out of the hall and immediately saw a ck spaceship parked there.


    From the outside, it looked no different from standard spaceships, but the aura it emitted subtly vibrated the air.


    The spaceship was only 500 meters long, with faint engravings on the surface, representing the manifestation of essential rules, allowing for faster speeds and easier wormhole travel.


    "Not bad, not bad."


    Lin Yuan felt pleased. This spaceship was entirely made of red copper gold, which typical eighth-rank attacks couldn''t prate.


    From startup to wormhole travel, it only took twelve seconds.


    "Eight thousand universe crystals..."


    Lin Yuan couldn''t help but sigh at the spaceship''s value.


    As a star lord, he couldn''t use those standard spaceships. An A-ss spaceship would serve him well for a long time.


    In human civilization, traveling by spaceship is the mostmon choice, even for ninth-rank evolvers who masterrge-scale teleportation. Unless in a hurry, they typically use spaceships.


    Large-scale teleportation requires evolvers to merge with space rules, instantly crossing hundreds to thousands of light-years.


    The mental strain is enormous.


    Most ninth-rank evolvers can''t maintain it for long and need to rest frequently.


    Like Vice Tower Master Nn, who crossed countless light-years in half a month to deliver the treasure to Lin Yuan, not all ninth-rank evolvers could do that.


    Stowing away the A-ss spaceship, Lin Yuan returned to the hall.


    "It''s almost time to set off."


    Lin Yuan thought.


    "Yang Spirit."


    Lin Yuan''s mind stirred, and a phantom figure appeared, materializing into reality, looking at Lin Yuan.


    "You will stay here from now on."


    Lin Yuan looked at the Yang Spirit and instructed.


    "And this drop of essence blood..."


    Lin Yuan left a drop of essence blood.


    The divine power "Blood Rebirth" allowed Lin Yuan to fully control each drop of his essence blood, as it contained fragments of his soul and consciousness.


    "My main body will go to the Milky Way Star Domain. What treasures should I bring..." Lin Yuan began to ponder.


    First was the Divine Sealing Bead bestowed by the Strongest One Xia Qin.


    This treasure was Lin Yuan''s greatest life-saving asset in front of the strongest and had to be kept on him.


    "The eighth-rank soul defense treasure Water Drop..."


    "And the eighth-rank armor..."


    Lin Yuan pondered and decided to bring these two items as well.


    Lin Yuan always valued soul defense.


    "The original gold essence..."


    With a thought, a "bell-shaped" weapon appeared before Lin Yuan.


    This bell-shaped weapon was only palm-sized but emitted an aura stronger than the eighth-rank soul defense treasure.


    "I won''t bring this."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    First, he had just advanced to the eighth rank, and the original gold essence needed time to nurture to keep up with Lin Yuan''s level.


    Second, with the eighth-rank soul defense treasure, eighth-rank armor, and the Devil Jade Mark, Lin Yuan felt his defense was at its peak for now.


    Even against invincible eighth-rank beings, he could take a few hits and wouldn''t die from a single soul attack like Ouyin.


    Unknowingly, Lin Yuan had surpassed thete eighth-rank evolver Ouyin from a million years ago.


    Currently, the original gold essence didn''t significantly enhance Lin Yuan and couldn''t cause a "qualitative change."


    Taking it or not made little difference.


    "The current situation in the Milky Way Star Domain..."


    Lin Yuan opened the files and reviewed them carefully.


    The Milky Way Star Domain originally belonged to the Shadow n.


    Although the Shadow n wasn''t a peak race, it was one of the strongest below the peak, more powerful than the ck Abyss n.


    After defeating the Shadow n on the battlefield, human civilization gained vast territories, including the Milky Way Star Domain that Lin Yuan would oversee.


    In the Milky Way Star Domain, besides the Shadow n, there were also some special life ns and lone non-human powerhouses.


    These special life ns and lone non-human powerhouses either upied a cosmic secret realm or several star systems.


    When the Shadow n was there, they coexisted peacefully with these entities, not interfering with each other.


    Now that the Shadow n had been driven back, the entire Milky Way Star Domain fell under human civilization, and it was up to Lin Yuan to decide how to deal with these entities.


    "Nine special life ns and thirteen lone non-human powerhouses?"


    Lin Yuan reviewed the data, noting that these groups had not shown hostility towards human civilization.


    "How to handle them?"


    Lin Yuan knew that the Shadow n left these groups alone probably because direct action would be troublesome.


    Most likely, these special life ns or lone non-human powerhouses were either tough to deal with or had significant backgrounds that made the Shadow n cautious.


    "We''ll see their attitude then."


    Lin Yuan pondered, having an idea.


    At the edge of human territory.


    In a vast star domain.


    A massive figure was wantonly devouring one after another.


    "Delightful."


    "Everything in this universe is our food."


    "In the past, the Shadow n kept us in check, but now that they''ve been defeated and left this star domain, theseary resources are all mine."


    This massive figure, resembling an octopus with blood-red skin and countless tentacles, enveloped a and devoured it within days.


    "Unfortunately, these resources are hard to digest. If only they were lifes..."


    The blood-red octopus was tempted.


    A life, with at least billions of lives, devoured all at once, with countless flesh and souls, made the blood-red octopus tremble with excitement.


    "Let''s see."


    "Hopefully, I can find some indigenouss."


    The blood-red octopus extended its massive perception, spreading in all directions.


    With the Shadow n gone, they must have taken their people, but in such a vast star domain, there were surely many undiscovereds.


    Some of which might be lifes.


    Monthster.


    The blood-red octopus contentedly devoured several lifes.


    Countless lives became its food, making it feel ecstatic.


    "Ha ha ha ha."


    "Time to digest."


    The blood-red octopus returned to a giant, itsir for training and resting.


    The blood-red octopus quickly shrank, turning into a figure with dozens of arms.


    "Aodu, you''re back?" On the other side of the giant, a massive meat mountain sent a mental wave.


    This meat mountain was a special life form, having a good rtionship with the blood-red octopus, often interacting.


    "How manys did you devour this time?" The meat mountain asked casually.


    "Just over ten, but those resources are hard to digest, so I secretly devoured a few lifes. That feeling..."


    The blood-red octopus said with pleasure.


    "Lifes?" The meat mountain was also tempted.


    "When I finish digesting, youe with me, and we''ll devour those lifes together," the blood-red octopus said.


    It had a special talent for detecting nearbys, otherwise, finding lifes in the vast cosmos wouldn''t be so easy.


    "Forget it."


    "Aodu, you should restrain yourself in the future."


    The meat mountain said.


    "Restrain? Why restrain?" The blood-red octopus was puzzled.


    "This star domain was ceded by the Shadow n. Do you know who they ceded it to?" The meat mountain said, "I heard that soon, a human civilization star lord wille to oversee this star domain."


    "Which star lord?" The blood-red octopus asked.


    The meat mountain replied:


    "The Milky Way Star Lord."

 Chapter 238

    Chapter 238


    "Milky Way Star Lord?"


    The blood-red octopus Aodu thought carefully and finally shook his head, saying, "Never heard of him."


    As a peak race, Aodu had heard of most well-known eighth-rank evolvers in human civilization, especially those like the Wan Yang Star Lord and the Nine Sword Star Lord, who are invincible at the eighth rank.


    But the Milky Way Star Lord?


    Aodu indeed had never heard of him.


    "Of course, you haven''t heard of him." The massive meat mountain nced at Aodu, "This Milky Way Star Lord is a newly promoted eighth-rank evolver. His teacher is the Red Kun Star Lord."


    "Red Kun Star Lord?"


    The blood-red octopus Aodu''s spirit was shaken.


    Every invincible eighth-rank master possesses a unique cosmic power, especially someone as terrifyingly powerful as the Red Kun Star Lord.Even if Aodu hadn''t met him, he couldn''t be unaware of him.


    "This Milky Way Star Lord is very famous. He reached the eighth rank before turning a hundred and is one of the top geniuses of this generation in human civilization."


    The massive meat mountain knew a lot about human civilization, though it wasn''t really ssified information. The name of the Thirteen Peak Master was well-known.


    "An eighth-rank before a hundred?"


    The blood-red octopus Aodu showed envy, "Most of those human evolvers are like ants, but a very few have talents that make me jealous."


    The blood-red octopus Aodu, being a special life form, was born at the fifth rank and easily reached the sixth rank with minimal training. It took countless years to reach the eighth rank.


    But those top human geniuses took only a hundred or a few hundred years to reach the same level.


    Of course, as a special life form, Aodu''sbat power exceeded that of human evolvers of the same rank.


    But the gap wasn''t that significant.


    Below the eighth rank, human evolvers were crushed by special life forms of the same rank.


    But beyond the eighth rank, once they developed their internal worlds, human evolvers'' foundations leaped, no longer fearing most special life forms of the same rank.


    "I''m just giving you a heads-up to be careful. Human civilization is not like the Shadow n," said the massive meat mountain, "It''s best to reduce the frequency of devouring lifes. Human civilization valuess highly."


    "Hmph, I am an eighth-rank special life form from the Starry Sky Grand Alliance. Will the Milky Way Star Lord trouble me over a fews?"


    The blood-red octopus Aodu snorted coldly.


    But in reality, he nned to follow the massive meat mountain''s advice and be more cautious for the time being.


    At least until he understood the temperament of the Milky Way Star Lord. If he were as lenient as the Shadow n, life would be veryfortable.


    "The Starry Sky Grand Alliance?"


    The massive meat mountain shook slightly.


    The Starry Sky Grand Alliance is a coalition of all special life forms, formed to resist the Human Civilization Alliance and the Insect Alliance.


    Special life forms are few in number and cannot formrge groups like humans or Insects. Topete, they must unite.


    Even so, the members of the Starry Sky Grand Alliance are not numerous, mostly scattered across the universe.


    "Is this star domain getting a new master named the Milky Way Star Lord? Will this star domain be called the Milky Way Star Domain in the future?"


    "This Milky Way Star Lord has a significant background as the disciple of the Red Kun Star Lord and a top genius of human civilization."


    "I hope this Milky Way Star Lord treats us like the Shadow n did."


    "I''m not sure. Every star lord in human civilization has a different temperament. If the Milky Way Star Lord is friendly, it would be good for us."


    "Although I don''t know the Milky Way Star Lord''s character, he is young and likely doesn''t have a murderous intent."


    In the Milky Way Star Domain, special life forms and secluded non-human wanderers whispered among themselves.


    They had a good rtionship with the Shadow n, who had ceded many benefits to keep them in check.


    Now that the star domain had a new master from human civilization, these ns and wanderers felt uneasy, unsure of what the future held.


    These wanderers and special life forms had settled here for ages and did not want to move if possible.


    That''s why they stayed even after the Shadow n retreated.


    As long as the new master did not target them, everything would be fine.


    Red Kun Main Star.


    Lin Yuan walked out of the hall and entered the A-ss spaceship, preparing to head to the Milky Way Star Domain.


    "From today, you shall be called ''Milky Way''."


    Lin Yuan set the destination to ''Milky Way Star Domain'' and left the rest to the ship.


    With the main control intelligence of the Milky Way, Lin Yuan did not need to worry about the journey as it could choose the optimal route on its own.


    "Master, it will take five years to reach the Milky Way Star Domain from now," a sweet voice echoed in Lin Yuan''s ear,ing from the main control intelligence of the Milky Way.


    "Five years?"


    "That''s fine."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    Without the Milky Way, traveling with standard spaceships would take at least twenty years.


    The Milky Way''s performance allowed it to travel long distances through wormholes with short cooldown times.


    Whoosh.


    The Milky Way turned into a ck lightning bolt, arriving at the Red Kun Main Star''s tform in an instant, then headed into the depths of space.


    Finally, the space rippled as it entered a wormhole.


    Inside the Milky Way.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    Five years might be short for other evolvers, but for Lin Yuan, it was precious training time.


    With Unrivaled Insight, five years would allow significant improvement.


    This wasn''t the transmigration world but the main world.


    In the transmigration world, although Lin Yuan had ample time, itcked the conveniences of the main world.


    For example, the constantly fluctuating space essence in the alien battlefield significantly benefited Lin Yuan''s understanding of the core space model.


    And the body segment from the Devil Jade Tower''s Strongest One in the virtual world.


    Of course, the transmigration world also had its advantages. Each had its merits.


    Inner World.


    Vast, nearly 300,000 miles in circumference.


    When Lin Yuan first entered the eighth rank, his inner world expanded to 250,000 miles.


    But with continuous training and deeper understanding of space rules, the expansion speed increased significantly.


    Now it had reached 280,000 miles.


    In the southeast corner of the Inner World.


    Red Skin and Green Eyes, the two eighth-rank non-humans, looked dazed.


    Since being sent here by Lin Yuan, their shock had never ceased.


    Wasn''t the Thirteen Peak Master just at the early eighth rank?


    An early eighth-rank with such arge inner world?


    Red Skin and Green Eyes looked at each other, feeling parched.


    Normally, an early eighth-rank inner world would be only a hundred miles in circumference.


    With continuous training and deeper understanding of space rules, the inner world gradually expanded.


    But Lin Yuan...


    Red Skin and Green Eyes swallowed hard. Combined, their inner worlds were less than a third the size of Lin Yuan''s early eighth-rank inner world.


    Unbelievable.


    "Now I understand why the Star Lord said what he said when assigning us to follow the Peak Master."


    Red Skin was silent for a while before speaking dryly.


    The gist of what the Red Kun Star Lord said was to follow Lin Yuan''s orders.


    Protection wasn''t mentioned.


    At that time, Red Skin and Green Eyes found it strange. As an early eighth-rank, Lin Yuan''s task in the peripheral star domain should include their protection.


    But now, it was clear that the Thirteen Peak Master at the early eighth rank did not need their protection at all.


    Based on the size of his inner world, Lin Yuan''s strength could easily crush them.


    The two eighth-rank non-humans had a realization. Their task was probably to handle trivial matters, ensuring Lin Yuan''s valuable time wasn''t wasted.


    "Freak, such a freak."


    "How can human civilization produce such a freak?"


    Red Skin couldn''t help but say, an early eighth-rankparable to the peak of the eighth rank. Even rare special life forms couldn''t achieve this.


    "Perhaps this is why human civilization became a peak race?"


    Green Eyes muttered.


    Human civilization''s history was short, just over two million years, yet in this brief time, it became a peak race due to the emergence of numerous geniuses.


    These geniuses weren''t just in evolution but across various fields.


    Time passed.


    Five years flew by.


    In the Milky Way Star Domain, a ck spaceship emerged from the wormhole.


    "Master, we have arrived at the Milky Way Star Domain."


    Inside the spaceship, Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes, hearing the sweet voice of the Milky Way''s main control intelligence.


    "Finally here..."


    Lin Yuan looked out into space.


    He saw a star domain resembling a silver river, hanging in space, extremely dazzling and beautiful.


    "Five years..."


    Lin Yuan sighed. These five years had brought great progress in various aspects.


    Firstly, in understanding the core space model, Lin Yuan hadprehended the 2,092nd type.


    The core space model had 7,782 types in total. Understanding 2,000 types meant he was a quarter of the way.


    Even the Red Kun Star Lord hadn''t fullyprehended all core space models.


    Fullyprehending all core space models equated to mastering theplete space rules, making the vast universe essible.


    Secondly, in pioneering the eighth-rank chapter of the martial evolution path, Lin Yuan had almostpleted the second stage out of ten.


    Any eighth-rank chapter of an evolution path is crucial for bing a grand schr in evolution.


    The martial evolution path is especially difficult. Reaching the second stage in five years would astonish any evolution grand schr.


    Even for an evolution grand schr, creating an eighth-rank evolution path from scratch is not easy and requires immense time and effort, with no guarantee of recognition by the three goddesses.


    "I''ve alreadyprehended over 11,000 evolution paths, yet I''m still an ordinary member of the Devil Jade Tower?"


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    For five years, Lin Yuan asionally studied that body segment. With his greatly increased rank, even though he still faced mental pressure, hisprehension speed had significantly improved.


    In just five years, Lin Yuan hadprehended over 7,000 evolution paths, even though he only spent part of his time on it.


    Otherwise, it would be more.


    "No matter."


    "Keepprehending."


    "Whether an ordinary member or a core member, improving my strength is what matters."


    Lin Yuan thought, continuouslyprehending new evolution paths and extracting their essence.


    "The Breaking Boundary Source Power... I''ve umted fifteen threads."


    Lin Yuan sensed the Breaking Boundary Source Power in the Gate to the Myriad Realms in his mind and smiled.


    For Lin Yuan, the more Breaking Boundary Source Power, the better. It not only meant more transmigration opportunities but also the ultimate life-saving ability.


    Because¡ª


    Consuming fifty threads of Breaking Boundary Source Power allows physical transmigration.


    Physical transmigration means physically entering the transmigrated world.


    This transmigration method has both advantages and disadvantages.


    The disadvantage is that if you die in the transmigrated world, you might really die.


    The advantage is that any improvement in the transmigrated world can be synchronized with the physical body.


    And when escaping pursuit in the main world, physical transmigration offers a way out.


    The transmigrated world chosen by the Gate to the Myriad Realms is in a different dimension from the main world.


    Lin Yuan could hide there, and even the Strongest One would be helpless.


    "Go."


    "Directly to the main star."


    Lin Yuan ordered the Milky Way.


    Whoosh.


    The Milky Way turned into a ck lightning bolt, disappearing into space.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    This was a high-level life.


    Since Lin Yuan was appointed Milky Way Star Lord and designated this as the main star of the Milky Way Star Domain.


    Official human evolvers from nearby star domains arrived in advance to conduct a B-grade transformation of the.


    Additionally, a human evolver army was stationed here, specifically left by human civilization to assist the new star lord.


    "The Star Lord should be arriving soon. Everyone, be alert." A man in a fine purple robe said in the sky above the Milky Way Main Star.


    A blonde man stood beside him, with a massive army of evolvers behind them.


    The evolver army was mainlyposed of fifth-rank evolvers, led by hundreds of sixth-rank evolvers, with the two seventh-rank evolvers in purple and gold asmanders.


    "Our Star Lord is quite wealthy, directly opting for a B-grade transformation of the main star," the blonde man said quietly.


    Typically, newly promoted eighth-rank evolvers were not wealthy, and they chose the free C-grade transformation for their star domains.


    A B-grade transformation cost 100,000 universe crystals, equivalent to a veteran eighth-rank evolver''s entire assets, including weapons and treasures.


    "The Star Lord is a peerless genius, reaching the eighth rank before a hundred years old, with the Red Kun Star Lord as his teacher. The gifts from his eighth-rank celebration alone would surpass 100,000 universe crystals, iparable to ordinary eighth-rank star lords."


    The purple-robed man nced at the blonde man and said.


    "Indeed." The blonde man nodded, looking amazed.


    When he first heard that the Milky Way Star Lord was the Thirteen Peak Master of the Red Kun Star Domain, he was shocked for a long time. This was a peerless genius of human civilization.


    "Alright."


    "The Star Lord has arrived."


    The purple-robed man''s expression changed slightly as he looked ahead.


    Space rippled slightly, and a streamlined ck spaceship appeared silently.


    "Greetings to the Milky Way Star Lord."


    The purple-robed man and the blonde man bowed in unison.


    "Greetings to the Milky Way Star Lord!"


    Behind them, the massive army of evolvers knelt in unison, respectfully shouting, "Greetings to the Milky Way Star Lord."

 Chapter 239

    Chapter 239


    "Greetings, Milky Way Star Lord!"


    "Greetings, Milky Way Star Lord!!"


    "Greetings, Milky Way Star Lord!!!"


    Lin Yuan stepped out of the spaceship, gazing at the countless evolvers bowing and kneeling respectfully.


    His mindset began to shift slightly.


    On the main star of the Red Kun, Lin Yuan held supreme authority and countless evolvers treated him with utmost respect.


    But that respect stemmed from the Red Kun Star Lord.


    However, now, these evolvers were bowing to him, the Milky Way Star Lord, Lin Yuan himself.


    "Rise."Lin Yuan said.


    "Yes."


    The two leading evolvers, one in a purple robe and the other with golden hair, straightened up respectfully.


    "You two must be Chun Bo and Jia Li?" Lin Yuan looked at them.


    Upon confirming his position as the Milky Way Star Lord, Lin Yuan received numerous documents, including information about Chun Bo and Jia Li.


    These two were specially assigned by the human civilization to assist him in fully taking over the Milky Way Star Domain.


    Although they couldn''tpare to the two eighth-rank aliens given to him by his teacher, they were still seventh-rank evolvers.


    "Yes."


    "I am honored that the Star Lord remembers my name."


    Chun Bo and Jia Li responded respectfully.


    "Alright, let them disperse," Lin Yuan said, looking at the dense army of evolvers behind them.


    "Understood."


    Chun Bo nodded, turned to the army, and said, "By the Star Lord''s order, you may disperse."


    The voice quickly reached the ears of every evolver.


    "Yes."


    "By the Star Lord''smand."


    The army of evolvers immediately dispersed in an orderly fashion.


    "Star Lord, allow me to introduce the main star to you," Chun Bo said promptly.


    The Milky Way main star was vast. Although Lin Yuan had already received rted documents, such arge star couldn''t be fully documented.


    After a brief tour of the main star, Chun Bo and Jia Li led Lin Yuan to a luxurious pce.


    "The''s B-level transformation is nearlyplete, right?" Lin Yuan asked.


    The transformation of the Milky Way main star began when Lin Yuan paid 100k universe crystals. Evolvers from nearby star domains arrived to carry out the transformation.


    "Yes."


    "The transformation is in its final stages, almostplete."


    Chun Bo answered immediately.


    The stronger the defense system on the main star, the safer it would be. This also gave him confidence.


    "Pretty fast," Lin Yuan nodded.


    Excluding travel time, the transformation took at most three to four years.


    In such a short period, transforming this into a ''forbidden area'' capable of suppressing most eighth-rank evolvers wasn''t easy.


    "For the Star Lord, who would dare not to put in the effort?" Jia Li chimed in.


    The Milky Way Star Lord wasn''t an ordinary Star Lord. Not only was he the disciple of the Red Kun Star Lord, but he was also a top human civilization genius with limitless potential.


    Those working on his main star''s transformation certainly put in all their effort, not daring to ck off.


    Of course, it helped that Lin Yuan paid well, with the 100k universe crystals being distributed among the workers.


    "I have two subordinates who will manage the main star with you," Lin Yuan said to Jia Li and Chun Bo.


    The two aliens gifted by the Red Kun Star Lord, Red Skin and Green Eyes, not only had eighth-rank strength but also extensive experience in managings.


    Managing a star, especially a main star that serves as an economic and political center for a star domain, requires high-level leadership skills.


    "Understood."


    Chun Bo and Jia Li had no objections.


    When taking over an unfamiliar star domain, it''s normal for Lin Yuan to ce trusted subordinates.


    If he didn''t, trusting them entirely would make Chun Bo and Jia Li uneasy.


    Inside his inner world.


    Red Skin and Green Eyes, the two eighth-rank aliens, were in a state of numbness.


    Five years.


    Only five years.


    For eighth-rank aliens like them, that time isn''t even enough for a nap.


    But under the watchful eyes of the two eighth-rank aliens, Lin Yuan''s inner world had expanded from nearly 300,000 miles to 700,000 miles.


    An expansion of 400,000 miles.


    Is this even human?


    Red Skin and Green Eyes steadied themselves, regainingposure.


    Initially, they spected that Lin Yuan''s inner world reached nearly 300,000 miles upon entering the eighth rank due to some spatial treasure.


    Certain rare treasures in the cosmic depths can greatly aid in expanding the inner world, although using them has many limitations.


    This could barely exin why Lin Yuan''s inner world was nearly 300,000 miles upon entering the eighth rank.


    But the events of the past five years shattered the two eighth-rank aliens'' perceptions.


    They watched as Lin Yuan''s inner world expanded daily, monthly, and yearly until it reached 700,000 miles.


    Using rare treasures to expand the inner world initially is possible.


    But continued expansion depends solely on one''s understanding of spatial rules.


    This means that in the past five years, Lin Yuan''s inner world expansion relied entirely on hisprehension of spatial rules.


    A 700,000-mile inner world.


    Red Skin and Green Eyes tried to remain calm.


    They had seen a 700,000-mile inner world before. The Red Kun Star Lord''s inner world far exceeded 700,000 miles.


    But in just five years, expanding from nearly 300,000 miles to nearly 700,000 miles was unheard of.


    Even the spatial affinity creature Xing Hai You Kun, born with an inner world, couldn''t possibly be this abnormal.


    What the two eighth-rank aliens didn''t know was that Lin Yuan had divided most of his time and effort into perfecting the eighth-rank martial path andprehending the evolution path.


    If he fully focused on understanding the core model of spatial rules, the expansion rate of his inner world would be even greater.


    "Hmm?"


    "The Star Lord is letting us out?"


    "We''ve reached the Milky Way main star."


    Red Skin and Green Eyes''s expressions changed slightly as they received Lin Yuan''s message.


    In an instant.


    They disappeared from the inner world.


    Milky Way main star, central pce.


    Lin Yuan sat on the throne, looking at Chun Bo and Jia Li below.


    In the next moment.


    Red Skin and Green Eyes appeared in the hall.


    "Are they the Star Lord''s subordinates?"


    Seeing Red Skin and Green Eyes, Chun Bo and Jia Li were shocked.


    Eighth rank.


    Both were eighth rank.


    Chun Bo and Jia Li were stunned.


    Entering the eighth rank with two eighth-rank subordinates, what a grand gesture.


    Do they think eighth-rank experts are asmon as cabbages?


    Chun Bo and Jia Li realized the terrifying background of Lin Yuan. How much did the Red Kun Star Lord favor him?


    "You four will manage various affairs within the Milky Way Star Domain," Lin Yuan said.


    "Understood."


    Chun Bo and Jia Li responded immediately.


    "Understood."


    Red Skin and Green Eyes also responded.


    "By the way, I need detailed information on the special beings and alien loners in the current star domain, including their activities over the years, as detailed as possible," Lin Yuan said.


    As the Star Lord of a star domain, Lin Yuan couldn''t allow anything beyond his control.


    Special beings and alien loners were of particr concern to him.


    "Understood."


    Chun Bo and Jia Li bowed immediately.


    After the four left.


    The pce was left with Lin Yuan alone.


    "My current strength... have I reached the peak of eighth-rankbat power? Perhaps even among the strongest below the invincible eighth rank?" Lin Yuan pondered.


    With a 700,000-mile inner world, Lin Yuan''sbat power was already at the eighth-rank peak.


    Moreover, the martial evolution path he practiced excelled inbat, defeating stronger opponents with ease.


    The martial evolution path, which suppressed the two major eighth-rank evolution paths on the Red Kun evolution ranking, had a clearbat advantage.


    From the first to the seventh rank, and now the eighth rank created by Lin Yuan, every step of the martial evolution path was perfected by Lin Yuan''s Unrivaled Insight.


    "Below the invincible eighth rank, I have few opponents. Even if I encounter an invincible eighth rank, as long as I don''t fight recklessly and choose to flee, I should be fine."


    Lin Yuan assessed his strength.


    The invincible eighth ranks wield cosmic power, cing theirbat strength above the eighth rank. However, with Lin Yuan''s survival methods, he believed he could withstand dozens of moves from a soul-type invincible eighth-rank evolver.


    In terms of physical defense, Lin Yuan had an eighth-rank armor and the physical divine ability ''Blood Rebirth.''


    Thetter meant that unless Lin Yuan''s body waspletely destroyed in an instant, he could regenerate quickly, making him nearly immortal.


    With these survival methods, Lin Yuan was confident that even though he couldn''t defeat invincible eighth ranks, they would struggle to kill him.


    Especially within the Milky Way Star Domain, which now fell under the human civilization''s territory. Lin Yuan could summon numerous eighth-rank human evolvers if needed.


    A few dayster.


    Chun Bo and Jia Li brought information on the special beings and alien loners within the Milky Way Star Domain.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan reviewed the information.


    "These special beings are too arrogant."


    Lin Yuan shook his head after reading.


    Special beings, born from the universe, instinctively regarded everything in the cosmos as theirs.


    Especially a special being named ''Aodu,'' who regrly devoureds, whether resources or lifes.


    During the transitional period after the Shadow n''s withdrawal, as the human civilization was taking over, Aodu became more rampant, devouring dozens of lifes.


    Lifes, suitable for habitation, hold significant strategic value for human civilization.


    Arge poption base is crucial for producing various talents.


    While most resources'' value couldn''tpare to lifes, a few, like the contested resource dead star between the Moonwatch and Golden Dragon Star Domains, contained valuable minerals worth ten thousand universe crystals uponplete extraction.


    Such arge sum even caught the eye of the Golden Dragon Star Domain, leading to their dispute with the Moonwatch Star Domain.


    "Mine."


    "Those resources and lifes are mine."


    Lin Yuan frowned. As the Star Lord, although the resources within the star domain belonged to human civilization, he would still get a small share.


    Moreover, human civilization would soon beginrge-scale migration to the Milky Way Star Domain, making lifes increasingly valuable.


    "Aodu cannot be allowed to remain."


    Lin Yuan decided.


    The Shadow n feared Aodu''s strength and background, but Lin Yuan didn''t care.


    Human civilization had never feared anyone in their conquests.


    "I will handle it personally."


    Lin Yuan rose and left the pce.


    Aodu was an eighth-rank special being, nearly at the peak of the eighth rank, and was close friends with another eighth-rank special being, both residing on the same.


    In the Milky Way Star Domain, only Lin Yuan had the strength to deal with Aodu.


    On a massive.


    The colossal flesh mountain frowned as it saw the blood-red octopus returning slowly from outer space.


    "Aodu, I''ve told you to be cautious recently. The Milky Way Star Lord is probably arriving soon."


    "If you anger the Milky Way Star Lord by going out now, what will you do?" The flesh mountain said solemnly.


    It wasn''t afraid of the Milky Way Star Lord.


    But it feared the Red Kun Star Lord behind the Milky Way Star Lord and the human civilization alliance.


    "As a dignified special being, what''s wrong with devouring a fews?" Aodu said dismissively.


    Recently, it had indeed been more cautious, refraining from devouring lifes.


    But resources were necessary for its energy needs. Without the immense energy from resources, Aodu''s progress to the fourth stage of the eighth rank would be indefinitely dyed.


    "But what if the Milky Way Star Lord finds out?" The flesh mountain asked.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord?"


    "A less-than-a-century-old evolver, even if at the eighth rank, how strong can he be?"


    "What can he do to us?"


    Aodu was unconcerned.


    "Oh?"


    "If the Milky Way Star Lord is easy to handle, what about the Red Kun Star Lord?"


    "And the human civilization alliance?"


    The flesh mountain nced at Aodu, "From the beginning, I told you to be cautious not because of the Milky Way Star Lord, but because of the human civilization alliance."


    "The human civilization alliance has imed this star domain as their territory. If we want to livefortably, we must consider their stance."


    "As for the Milky Way Star Lord, he''s nothing."


    The flesh mountain''s voice boomed.


    "Rx, I only devoured a few resources. If the Milky Way Star Lord dares toe..."


    Aodu paused.


    But before he could finish.


    His expression changed slightly.


    The flesh mountain also sensed something and its expression changed.


    "Who is it?"


    Outside the, a man in green armor, with calm eyes, stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Aodu and the flesh mountain, smiling:


    "Go on, what will you do if the Milky Way Star Lord dares toe?"


    Before the words were finished.


    The man extended his right hand, causing space to ripple. The massive twisted and shrank, eventually bing palm-sized and held in the man''s hand.


    Aodu and the flesh mountain, now like two tiny ants, looked up in terror at the colossal figure in the sky.

 Chapter 240

    Chapter 240


    "What''s this?"


    Aodu looked grim. The scene before them showed a man standing in the starry sky, transforming into a colossal giant.


    In reality, the man''s size hadn''t changed; it was Aodu and the beneath them that began to shrink rapidly under thepression of space rules.


    Such a technique could only be mastered by the strongest individuals with extremely highprehension of space rules.


    ording to human civilization''s definition of space rules, one mustprehend at least eighteen hundred core space models.


    Generally speaking, strong individuals who hadprehended so many core space models were typically at the peak of the eighth rank, and Aodu knew all the peak eighth-rankers in the Milky Way and surrounding star domains.


    But who was this man in blue armor? Aodu was puzzled, feeling a bit uneasy under the pressure of the space powering from all directions.


    "It''s the Milky Way Star Lord."


    A massive mountain of flesh nearby immediately recognized him.It knew a lot about the Milky Way Star Lord, including rted images. The ''giant'' standing outside the sky looked very much like the Milky Way Star Lord.


    Moreover, the man had just said, ''Go on, what will you do if the Milky Way Star Lord dares toe?''


    The massive mountain of flesh was almost certain that this was indeed the Milky Way Star Lord.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord?"


    Aodu was stunned.


    He turned his head and looked at the massive mountain of flesh in confusion.


    Wasn''t it said that the Milky Way Star Lord had just entered the eighth rank? How could hepress a nearly ten million miles wide into a mustard seed with just a wave of his hand?


    Such spatialprehension wasn''t even necessarily achievable by a peak eighth-ranker, yet the newly ascended Milky Way Star Lord had done it?


    "Starry Sky Alliance, Shang Shan, greets the Milky Way Star Lord."


    The massive mountain of flesh ignored Aodu''s disbelief and hurriedly said respectfully.


    Although it was also difficult to understand why the Milky Way Star Lord possessed such strength, this was not the time to dwell on that.


    The most important thing was to ease the tension between them.


    "Starry Sky Alliance, Aodu, greets the Milky Way Star Lord."


    Seeing this, Aodu immediately followed suit.


    "You special beings, relying on your noble bloodlines, arewless. This star domain now belongs to human civilization, and you wantonly devours..."


    Lin Yuan said indifferently.


    "Do you really think we humans are like the Shadow n? You are not even piss in front of us."


    The Shadow n was very tolerant of these special beings. Firstly, they didn''t want to offend the forces behind these beings, and secondly, these beings were not easy to deal with.


    So under normal circumstances, the strong members of the Shadow n would turn a blind eye to them. For instance, Aodu loved to devours, and as long as it wasn''t too excessive, they wouldn''t interfere.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, we were wrong."


    The massive mountain of flesh''s expression changed slightly. From these words, it realized that the Milky Way Star Lord was REALLY displeased with their actions.


    "After today, we will leave obediently and never appear before the Milky Way Star Lord again."


    The massive mountain of flesh, Shang Shan, immediately said.


    Even if the Milky Way Star Lord had just entered the eighth rank, knowing his attitude, the best choice for these two special beings was to leave.


    After all, as the lord of a star domain, the Milky Way Star Lord had many ways to deal with them.


    Calling friends for help?


    Asking their teacher to step in?


    These were all options.


    Moreover, the strength disyed by the Milky Way Star Lord was not weaker than a peak eighth-ranker. His hostility was not something the two special beings could withstand.


    "After devouring so many of mys, you think you can leave so easily?" Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. With a thought, a vast power crushed the in his hand.


    Boom.


    Terrifying power swept across the''s surface. Lin Yuan still held back; otherwise, the would have copsed instantly.


    "Not good."


    The massive mountain of flesh''s body suddenly expanded, struggling to resist the crushing force from all directions. But Shang Shan felt that he couldn''t hold on much longer.


    "How can this Milky Way Star Lord be so abnormal? Is this what you call just entering the eighth rank? Is this under a hundred years old?"


    The massive mountain of flesh, Shang Shan, felt bitter.


    He nced at Aodu not far away, who had been forced to reveal its true form.


    However, under the Milky Way Star Lord''s Mustard Seed technique, Aodu''s true form was only the size of a pinky finger,cking any majesty of a special being, instead looking somewhat cute.


    "Milky Way Star Lord."


    After holding on for more than ten breaths, the massive mountain of flesh, Shang Shan, said again, "I am willing to pay twenty thousand universe crystals topensate for the Lord''s loss."


    The massive mountain of flesh felt bitter inside.


    Thes it had devoured were mostly during the Shadow n''s reign over this star domain. But now, with the Milky Way Star Lord in charge, it had toply.


    "I am also willing."


    Aodu also spoke up.


    It was also struggling to hold on.


    "Twenty thousand universe crystals?"


    Lin Yuan nced at the two special beings.


    A normal eighth-rank strong person would have around several thousand to ten thousand universe crystals.


    Human eighth-rankers were a bit wealthier but not by much, at most just over ten thousand.


    But these two special beings were willing to offer twenty thousand universe crystals each, clearly quite wealthy.


    This was understandable; special beings had long lifespans and many innate abilities, umting vast wealth over time.


    "What do you say, Milky Way Star Lord?"


    "Twenty thousand universe crystals should be enough topensate you."


    The massive mountain of flesh, Shang Shan, was bleeding inside. It had practiced a body duplication technique, and its true body was in a distant star domain. But this clone had been cultivated for many years and hadbat power close to the true body.


    If it were to die, creating another clone of this level would take countless years.


    "As long as I can keep this clone, losing some universe crystals is eptable." The massive mountain of flesh thought to itself.


    It had invested countless resources in this clone over the long years, far more than twenty thousand universe crystals.


    "I was trolling you, fool."


    Lin Yuan did not stop, continuing to crush with the vast world power.


    Killing them would mean getting all their universe crystals anyway.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, do you really intend to leave no way out?"


    The massive mountain of flesh, Shang Shan, was shocked.


    It was willing to pay twenty thousand universe crystals, yet the Milky Way Star Lord still intended to exterminate them?


    "Milky Way Star Lord, do you know we are members of the Starry Sky Alliance? Do you think you can kill us without asking the Starry Sky Alliance?"


    Aodu couldn''t help but speak.


    If it weren''t for the dire situation, it didn''t want to bring up the Starry Sky Alliance, as this would meanpletely tearing apart rtions with the Milky Way Star Lord.


    "Starry Sky Alliance?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression remained unchanged. The Starry Sky Alliance was formed by many special life forms to resist humans, insects, and other peak races.


    However, the Starry Sky Alliance was loosely structured. Composed of many special life forms, they couldn''t be as united as humans or insects.


    But they couldn''t be underestimated either.


    The Shadow n tolerated Aodu and Shang Shanrgely because of the Starry Sky Alliance behind them.


    But the Shadow n feared the Starry Sky Alliance; human civilization did not.


    Many human evolvers extracted the essence of special life forms to make bloodline potions, which were very popr.


    "Yes, Milky Way Star Lord, we are members of the Starry Sky Alliance." The massive mountain of flesh, Shang Shan, immediately said. Now, they could only rely on the Starry Sky Alliance.


    Lin Yuan smiled, "Hahaha, I''m so scared."


    "Starry Sky Alliance? My ass."


    As heughed, a terrifying soul wave mixed with world power formed a storm, sweeping towards Aodu.


    "No."


    Facing the skyrocketing offensive, Aodu''s body trembled and exploded into a massive blood mist, its soul quickly dissipating.


    "Aodu."


    The massive mountain of flesh, Shang Shan, trembled in shock. Aodu hadn''t practiced the body duplication technique; once it died, it was truly dead.


    "You can apany it too." Lin Yuan looked at the massive mountain of flesh, collecting Aodu''s blood essence and spatial equipment.


    Since Lin Yuan dared toe, he didn''t care about the Starry Sky Alliance behind the two special life forms.


    His teacher, the Red Kun Star Lord, had told him that as long as he didn''t betray human civilization in the Milky Way, he could do whatever he wanted, and human civilization would back him up.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, I will remember you."


    "And I will forget you." replied Lin Yuan.


    The massive mountain of flesh, Shang Shan, red at Lin Yuan, seemingly activating some technique, its form rapidly shrinking and disappearing in the pervasive space power.


    Being a special life form, Shang Shan was much more cautious than Aodu. After human civilization took over this star domain, it reduced its-devouring activities, unlike Aodu, who continued to take advantage.


    This cautious nature had led Shang Shan to prepare many life-saving methods, including a space-shifting technique obtained at great cost.


    This technique could move it several light-years away in an instant.


    "Yin-Yang Tai Chi, iste." Lin Yuan''s pupils turned one yin and one yang, the Tai Chi world shadow instantly covering nearly a hundred million miles, solidifying space.


    A sound like a collision with a wall came from eighty million miles away, and the massive mountain of flesh, Shang Shan, reappeared, looking bewildered.


    "What?"


    Shang Shan looked around.


    "Isted space? World shadow?"


    "This is a technique mastered afterprehending two thousand core space models, with an internal world of at least six hundred thousand miles in radius. What kind of monster is this Milky Way Star Lord?"


    Shang Shan felt despair.


    Normally, the internal world of a peak eighth-rank evolver was around five hundred thousand miles in radius.


    Therger the internal world, the stronger the eighth-rank evolver, capable of affecting external space and time.


    With enough spatialprehension, the influence could be even greater.


    Now, Shang Shan''s space-shifting was forcibly interrupted by this istion power.


    Buzz.


    Lin Yuan took a step forward.


    He appeared above Shang Shan.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, I beg for mercy. As long as you spare me..." The massive mountain of flesh began to plead. With the current strength disyed by the Milky Way Star Lord, it had no means of resistance.


    Moreover, the space-shifting technique couldn''t be used again shortly after being interrupted. The massive mountain of flesh could only hope Lin Yuan would show mercy.


    However¡ª


    "No"


    Before it could finish, Lin Yuan waved his hand, and the vast world power mixed with soul attacks fell on Shang Shan.


    Crash.


    The massive mountain of flesh, Shang Shan, turned into an endless blood mist.


    Lin Yuan collected it all. The blood essence of special life forms was very valuable, and making it into bloodline potions could sell for thousands to tens of thousands of universe crystals each.


    "Hmm?"


    "I can sense that this special life form isn''t dead."


    Lin Yuan pondered, looking in a certain direction.


    When he killed Aodu, it was straightforward. After Aodu''s death, there were no doubts.


    But after killing Shang Shan, Lin Yuan felt something unusual.


    "Cause and effect... This special life form''s main body is still alive."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The cause and effect rule was very mysterious, capable of many special techniques, such as curse killing.


    As long as life exists and interacts with the world, it naturally generates cause and effect.


    Therefore, understanding the cause and effect rule was easy.


    For eighth-rank strong individuals, most had some understanding of the cause and effect rule.


    And once they understood it, they could sense many causes and effects. For example, when Lin Yuan killed Aodu, the cause and effect between them ceased upon Aodu''s death.


    But after killing Shang Shan, although Shang Shan died, their cause and effect connection remained, indicating Shang Shan wasn''t truly dead.


    This was the simplest use of the cause and effect rule.


    Of course, understanding the cause and effect rule was easy, but mastering it was extremely difficult, even harder thanprehendingplete space rules.


    In a distant star domain.


    In a cosmic secret realm.


    "I spent tens of thousands of years and countless resources to cultivate that clone, and now it''s dead?" Shang Shan felt a void inside.


    For a cautious special life form like it, clones were very important. The main body was hidden, and the clone ventured out, a foolproof n.


    But now.


    The clone was gone.


    Creating another one would take hundreds or thousands of years, and it would be far inferior to the previous one.


    "My clone, my treasures, my universe crystals..."


    Shang Shan was heartbroken.


    "I shouldn''t have hesitated."


    Shang Shan felt regret.


    After the Shadow n retreated, it should have left too.


    After all, the next ruler of this star domain would be the Human Civilization Alliance.


    But Shang Shan thought he was lucky, thinking that even if the humans took over, they wouldn''t necessarily be hostile.


    Not every human lord was against special life forms.


    Even if the new human lord was hostile, it could just leave then.


    New human lords were usually newly ascended eighth-rank evolvers, incapable of keeping an almost peak eighth-rank special life form like it.


    But who could have expected the Milky Way Star Lord to be so monstrous?


    "Terrifying."


    "Too terrifying."


    Thinking about the Milky Way Star Lord''s methods, Shang Shan shuddered.


    From start to finish, Shang Shan had no thoughts of revenge.


    Revenge? Against the Milky Way Star Lord? Against the Human Civilization Alliance? My fucking ass!


    Even the strongest in the Starry Sky Alliance couldn''t do it. How could it, a special life form, manage?


    Being able to keep its life was already fortunate enough.

 Chapter 241

    Chapter 241


    Lin Yuan was aware that ''Shang Shan'' was not dead, but he didn''t pay much attention to it.


    With Lin Yuan''s cultivation speed, ''Shang Shan'' could be crushed by him now. Not to mention in the future? The one who should be afraid is the other party.


    "Let''s take a look at the spoils."


    Lin Yuan ced the giant back on the star path. This, being used as a nest by two special life forms of the eighth rank, was naturally extraordinary. It was considered rare among higher lifes, containing arge amount of gentle cosmic energy.


    When Lin Yuan attacked ''Aodu'' and ''Shang Shan'', he also tried not to damage the, containing the aftermath on the''s surface.


    "Special life blood essence."


    First was therge amount of blood essence collected by Lin Yuan. The special life forms in the universe are scarce, many of them born from the universe itself and unable to reproduce. Their blood essence is far stronger than that of humans.


    Human civilization had long attempted to integrate the blood of these special life forms into human bloodlines to produce stronger offspring. Thus, the blood essence potion was born.


    Through special means, the blood of special life forms was extracted and made into blood essence potions. These could be integrated into the bloodlines of future generations, providing those evolvers who wanted to establish families with the means to prosper for a long time."Speaking of which, I still have a blood essence potion of the three-headed ice wolf."


    Lin Yuan seemed to remember something and a smile appeared on his face.


    The three-headed ice wolf blood essence potion was one of the legacies of the eighth-rank evolver Ouyin. It came from the special life form, the three-headed ice wolf.


    In order to create this blood essence potion, Ouyin had ughtered countless three-headed ice wolves.


    "Probably able to make eight or nine blood essence potions."


    Lin Yuan roughly calcted based on the blood left by ''Shang Shan'' and ''Aodu''. These two special life forms were enormous, almostparable to ordinary lifes. Naturally, their blood was far more abundant than that of the three-headed ice wolf.


    Although the three-headed ice wolf was also a special life form, it was only tens of meters in size, far smaller than ''Shang Shan'' and ''Aodu''.


    "Eight or nine blood essence potions, even if each one is only worth three thousand universe crystals, that would still be nearly thirty thousand universe crystals."


    Lin Yuan was in a good mood.


    Many human eighth-rank evolvers''bined treasures and weapons would only be worth about ten thousand universe crystals. And now, Lin Yuan''s harvest, just in blood essence, equaled the entire wealth of three eighth-rank evolvers.


    This was even with him underestimating the blood essence potions. In fact, most blood essence potions were worth more than three thousand universe crystals each.


    Next, Lin Yuan began to examine the many treasures of the two special life forms.


    "Truly wealthy, no wonder they asked for twenty thousand universe crystals," Lin Yuan marveled.


    The many treasures, ores, weapons, and more collected by ''Shang Shan'' and ''Aodu'' totaled over sixty thousand universe crystals. ''Shang Shan'' contributed over forty thousand, and ''Aodu'' contributed over twenty thousand universe crystals.


    Adding in the blood essence potions made from their blood, Lin Yuan''s harvest this time was estimated to exceed one hundred thousand universe crystals.


    "Unexpectedly, the universe crystals for the''s transformation were recovered so quickly?"


    Lin Yuan''s face showed a smile.


    The B-level transformation of the main star of the Milky Way had cost Lin Yuan one hundred thousand universe crystals. Lin Yuan had originally thought that these one hundred thousand universe crystals would only be earned back when the Milky Way Star Domain was fully operational and the trade channels were established. But now, just by clearing out two special life forms, he had ''broken even.''


    "Continue."


    "There are still a few more targets."


    Lin Yuan immediately headed in another direction.


    After obtaining detailed information on the special life forms and alien loners entrenched in the Milky Way Star Domain, Lin Yuan categorized these special life forms and alien loners into two types.


    The first type were those like ''Shang Shan'' and ''Aodu,'' who fed ons. Keeping them was harmful and not beneficial to the Milky Way Star Domain. Therefore, Lin Yuan either killed these special life forms directly to eliminate future troubles or drove them out of the Milky Way Star Domain.


    The second type were those who had no significant impact on the star domain and could form a ''symbiotic'' rtionship with the Milky Way Star Domain. Some special life form groups could produce rare treasures that had astonishing effects on human evolvers.


    As long as these special life form groups were obedient, Lin Yuan was willing to let them stay, even assigning people to protect them.


    Lin Yuan''s current target was the first type of special life forms and alien loners.


    After tasting the benefits, Lin Yuan knew he needed to be as quick as possible, or once the news spread, those special life forms might flee in fear.


    On a deste, Lin Yuan appeared, his vast world force shadow suppressing the entire.


    Two alien loners immediately knelt, "Spare us, my lord, spare us."


    Compared to ''Shang Shan,'' the intelligence of these two alien loners was clearlycking, not even recognizing the Milky Way Star Lord.


    Even if they didn''t know Lin Yuan''s identity, the pressure from the world force alone made them feel the end of the world. This man in green armor far surpassed them in strength, likely being an eighth-rank pinnacle powerhouse.


    "My lord, there must be some misunderstanding between us. Please give us a chance," the two alien loners pleaded humbly.


    Lin Yuan looked down at them from the sky, "You feed on the souls of living beings. If I let you stay here, wouldn''t my human citizens be your food in the future?"


    "You cannot be allowed to stay."


    Lin Yuan pronounced their sentence.


    Taking advantage of the fact that human citizens had not yet migrated here, he needed to eliminate all hidden dangers. Otherwise, it would be troublesometer.


    "Human citizens migrating here."


    The two alien loners felt a chill. They indeed liked to consume the souls of living beings but had never harmed human citizens. However, before they could think further, their consciousness plunged into darkness.


    With a thought from Lin Yuan, the two alien loners turned to dust.


    In theory, these two alien loners had not harmed any humans. But to be safe, Lin Yuan couldn''t be bothered to differentiate. After all, they were aliens who liked to consume souls and couldn''t create much value.


    Killing them was simpler.


    As for expelling them? The surrounding areas were all human civilization''s star domains. Expelling them to other star domains would only harm more humans.


    Half a dayter, Lin Yuan appeared before a star.


    In the distance, an alien covered in scales with a sharp horn was fleeing frantically.


    When this alien saw Lin Yuan standing in the distance, it stopped, full of despair.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, I admit my actions were indeed cruel, but they were only against the Shadow n," the horned alien couldn''t help but say.


    Not long ago, it learned that the Milky Way Star Lord was hunting down some brutally violent special life forms and alien loners. However, before it could react, the Milky Way Star Lord appeared.


    Without thinking, the alien began fleeing frantically. It didn''t know why the newly entered eighth-rank Milky Way Star Lord could easily kill several eighth-rank aliens. But running was the best option.


    "If that''s the case, why did you stay in this star domain after the Shadow n retreated?" Lin Yuan asked calmly.


    "I..."


    The horned alien was speechless.


    It stayed to test the temperament of the new star lord. If the new star lord was lenient, it would continue its old ways, asionally feeding on human citizens for cultivation. If the new star lord was strict, it would leave obediently.


    This was the mindset of most special life forms and alien loners.


    But they didn''t expect the Milky Way Star Lord to be so decisive, giving them no chance to test him.


    The next moment, the horned alien turned to dust.


    Lin Yuan didn''t waste words with the horned alien, killing it instantly before moving on to the next target.


    ording to his ssification of special life form groups and alien loners, if they belonged to the first type, he would kill them if possible.


    Many star lords of human civilization acted gently, not taking lethal action as long as no harm was done to human citizens. But Lin Yuan''s methods were clearly more ruthless. In the vast universe, strength was respected. If human civilization ever declined, those aliens wouldn''t show mercy when ughtering humans.


    So even if some alien loners hadn''t harmed human citizens yet, as long as they had the thought, Lin Yuan would kill them.


    The rule of ''judge by deeds, not by intentions'' applied to fellow humans. For aliens who weren''t submissive to human civilization or allied with it, Lin Yuan wouldn''t show mercy.


    Forgiveness was not granted.


    A few dayster, Lin Yuan had almost cleared out the first type of special life forms and alien loners.


    Ny percent of these special life forms and alien loners died by Lin Yuan''s hand, while the remaining ten percent escaped by luck.


    He couldn''t help it. He acted one by one, the news spread quickly, and some aliens, whose true bodies were not in the Milky Way Star Domain, escaped upon learning of their avatars'' deaths.


    But overall, Lin Yuan''s goal wasrgely achieved. The first type of special life forms and alien loners had mostly disappeared from the Milky Way Star Domain.


    As Lin Yuan carried out his massacre of special life forms and alien loners, it naturally rmed other forces.


    Most of these forces were special life form groups categorized by Lin Yuan as the second type, with the potential to aid the Milky Way Star Domain''s development, so he didn''t bother them.


    "In this star domain, many seventh and eighth-rank powerhouses have fallen. I personally knew thirteen seventh-rank ones and one eighth-rank who have died."


    "What''s going on? Those eighth-rank special life forms had incredible survival skills. Who could kill them so easily?"


    "Some alien powerhouses I knew also died."


    In a special life form group called the ''Flower God Tribe,'' many strong members gathered, discussing anxiously.


    Although the Flower God Tribe was a special life form group, itsbat abilities were weak, and it could reproduce normally.


    The members of the Flower God Tribe could brew a wine called ''Flower God Wine,'' which most life forms could drink to gain short-term rity of mind, aiding in theprehension of rules and mysteries.


    Because of this, the Flower God Tribe barely survived by offering ''Flower God Wine'' when the Shadow n ruled this region.


    "Have you noticed that the dead seventh and eighth-rank powerhouses were the cruel ones who consumeds?"


    A strong member of the Flower God Tribe, who looked like a young girl, suddenly spoke. She was a seventh-rank powerhouse and currently one of the strongest in the Flower God Tribe.


    However, the seventh-rank powerhouses of the Flower God Tribe had the weakestbat abilities, even inferior to those human evolvers who relied on seventh-rank evolution potions to reach the basic destructive power of the seventh rank.


    "Yes."


    "That''s true."


    "Even an eighth-rank powerhouse died, but our Flower God Tribe is still fine."


    Other strong members of the Flower God Tribe realized and discussed it.


    At this moment, a strong member of the Flower God Tribe with butterfly wings changed her expression slightly, stood up, and said to the others, "Everyone, I just received some news."


    This member looked around with a serious expression.


    "Received news?"


    "What news?"


    "Quick, tell us, what news?"


    The strong members of the Flower God Tribe asked. Any news received at this time was likely rted to the mysterious deaths of seventh and eighth-rank aliens.


    "The one targeting those seventh and eighth-rank aliens is the Milky Way Star Lord, a peerless genius of human civilization. This time, he acted to eliminate all unstable factors within the Milky Way Star Domain," said the strong member of the Flower God Tribe solemnly.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord?"


    "I know this human genius, but isn''t he just newly entered into the eighth rank?"


    "Yes, newly entered the eighth rank, yet killing those nearly eighth-rank pinnacle alien powerhouses as if ughtering pigs and dogs?"


    The strong members of the Flower God Tribe were shocked.


    Those eighth-rank special life forms and alien loners were skilled inbat and had unimaginable means, yet they were killed?


    There were two possibilities.


    One was that these eighth-rank special life forms and alien loners were overrated and weak. But this possibility was almost zero. If that were the case, how could they have coexisted with the Shadow n for so many years? Did they think the Shadow n was a charity?


    The other possibility was that the Milky Way Star Lord possessed unfathomable strength, enabling him to easily deal with those special life forms and alien loners.


    "I''m d our Flower God Tribe is still useful. Otherwise..." The strong member of the Flower God Tribe sighed.


    ording to her information, the Milky Way Star Lord''s killings were not indiscriminate but selective.


    The Flower God Tribe posed no threat to the star domain and could produce ''Flower God Wine,'' beneficial to evolvers.


    So they were spared by the Milky Way Star Lord.


    "Alright."


    "I don''t care what you all think."


    The strong member of the Flower God Tribe steadied herself, concealing her shock, and continued, "Previously, the rulers of this star domain were the Shadow n and those powerful special life forms and alien loners."


    "Now, there''s only one ruler in this star domain."


    Pausing for a moment, she solemnly said:


    "That is the Milky Way Star Lord."

 Chapter 242

    Chapter 242


    The matter of the Milky Way Star Lord hunting down special life forms and alien loners continued to ferment.


    Even though it was spected that the targets pursued by the Milky Way Star Lord were those causing serious damage to the environment within the star domain or those who liked to feed on the souls and bodies of living beings, it still caused panic among the remaining special life forms and alien loners.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord is too domineering."


    "The Red Kun Star Lord was the same, showing no mercy towards us special life forms."


    "The Milky Way Star Lord is establishing his authority. Without such ruthless methods, how could he fully control this star domain in the future?"


    Outside the Flower God Tribe, various special life forms and alien loners discussed.


    These special life forms and alien loners did not have the ''virtual world'' of human civilization, which allowed real-timemunication without dy, but they did have their own means ofmunication. As long as they were within a star domain, basicmunication was possible.


    "So what should we do?"


    "What else can we do? Surrender, of course. Are we going to go against human civilization?""Don''t worry, everyone. The Milky Way Star Lord''s cleansing methods indicate that he intends to fully control this star domain. We aliens can only choose to submit. But Lord Beifeng... will not surrender so easily."


    A strong special life form spoke up.


    "Lord Beifeng."


    The other special life forms and alien loners quieted down.


    As the former territory ruled by the Shadow n, the Milky Way Star Domain had many resident special life forms and alien loners. Among these, there was no shortage of eighth-rank powerhouses, and Lord Beifeng was undoubtedly the strongest.


    He was an undisputed eighth-rank peak powerhouse.


    Lord Beifeng came from the ''Golden Lion'' n, a powerful group in the universe. He traveled the universe and came to this star domain to prepare for breaking through to the ninth rank.


    Eighth-rank powerhouses did not necessarily have to master some cosmic power to be invincible at the eighth rank to break through to the ninth rank. As long as they reached the pinnacle of the eighth rank, they had a chance to merge rules and break through to the ninth rank.


    Lord Beifeng was at the pinnacle of the eighth rank.


    However, at Lord Beifeng''s level, external forces could hardly help him take that step. Therefore, he spent most of his time in seclusion, indifferent to external affairs. He belonged to the second category of special life forms and alien loners as ssified by Lin Yuan.


    "Lord Beifeng is very strong. The Milky Way Star Lord probably wouldn''t dare to act recklessly against him, right?"


    "Strong? Is he stronger than the Red Kun Star Lord? Is he stronger than human civilization?"


    "Whatever the case, this is a matter between the Milky Way Star Lord and Lord Beifeng. We can only go with the flow."


    The special life forms and alien loners discussed many things before dispersing. Regardless of the oue of the ''negotiation'' between the Milky Way Star Lord and Lord Beifeng, it had nothing to do with them. This star domain was destined to be ruled by the Milky Way Star Lord.


    "I didn''t expect to hide here and still can''t quietly cultivate." A burly old man with golden hair sat cross-legged in the void, his aura merging with the starry sky, spreading out for millions of miles.


    "A human peerless genius, entering the eighth rank before the age of a hundred, and now possessing eighth-rank peakbat power?"


    This burly old man with golden hair was Lord Beifeng, at the pinnacle of the eighth rank.


    "I can''t afford to provoke, can''t afford to provoke. Better find another ce."


    The burly old man with golden hair sighed, took a step, and disappeared millions of miles away with a ripple in space.


    Although the Golden Lion n did not belong to the human civilization alliance, they had no major hatred against human civilization. Lord Beifeng had no reason to have any conflict with the Milky Way Star Lord.


    The fact that the strongest being in this star domain, Lord Beifeng, chose to leave voluntarily shocked the special life forms and alien loners. They had initially thought that with Lord Beifeng''s strength, he would at least negotiate with the Milky Way Star Lord and leave only after gaining some benefits. But he left without a second thought.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    "The Golden Lion n, Beifeng?"


    Lin Yuan immediately learned of the news of an eighth-rank peak powerhouse leaving voluntarily.


    "Quite cautious."


    Lin Yuan smiled slightly. Although Lord Beifeng was strong, he was mostly in seclusion and had little influence on the outside world. Lin Yuan had not intended to act against him, but the fact that Beifeng cooperated so willingly pleased him.


    "Now the entire Milky Way Star Domain has basically been cleared. There''s no need for me to intervene further."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    As the Milky Way Star Lord Star Domain, Lin Yuan''s primary role was to act as a deterrent, sitting at the main star and intimidating all directions. Managing the development of the main star and the star domain was not the star lord''s job; it could be delegated to subordinates.


    The Red Kun Star Lord spent most of his time either in seclusion or sleeping, yet the Red Kun Star Domain was fine with the three goddesses overseeing it. There were no major issues.


    The two eighth-rank aliens given to Lin Yuan by the Red Kun Star Lord were meant to manage the main star and the star domain.


    "Continue to cultivate andprehend the Tao."


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes. Whether on the main star of the Red Kun or the current main star of the Milky Way, there was no significant difference. Most of his time was spent in cultivation.


    In another pce.


    Red Skin, Green Eyes, Chun Bo, and Jia Li gathered together.


    "Those aliens are so obedient. Theye over when called without making any demands?"


    Jia Li looked at the responses from the aliens and couldn''t help but express his amazement.


    For the Milky Way Star Domain to develop, stable trade channels had to be established, especially on the main star, which required various ''merchants'' to settle.


    And the first choice for these ''merchants'' was naturally the indigenous aliens of the star domain. These aliens generally had their own skills and methods, like the Flower God Tribe''s ''Flower God Wine,'' which was quite famous in the nearby star domains.


    Originally, to invite these aliens to settle, some concessions, like ''rent-free'' promises, had to be made. But before they could even make these offers, the aliens cooperated proactively without daring to ask for any conditions.


    "Hmph, after the star lord''s cleansing, how could those aliens dare to disobey?" Red Skin and Green Eyes didn''t find it surprising.


    The Red Kun Star Lord had been even more domineering than Lin Yuan. Those indigenous aliens had to obey to survive.


    However, Red Skin and Green Eyes, the two eighth-rank aliens, exchanged nces, still showing a hint of shock in their eyes. They were not surprised by the obedience of the aliens but by Lin Yuan''s strength.


    To assist Lin Yuan in controlling the Milky Way Star Domain as much as possible, they had prepared dozens of ns before arriving, including wooing and offering great benefits to quickly grasp the Milky Way Star Domain.


    But now, none of their ns were needed. Lin Yuan''s absolute strength had scared the aliens into submission.


    Even though they knew that Lin Yuan had an internal world spanning 700k miles, withbat power almost reaching the eighth-rank peak, having suchbat power didn''t mean he could wantonly ughter eighth-rank aliens. Eighth-rank aliens were not fools. Knowing they couldn''t win, would they stay and be killed?


    Lin Yuan easily subdued those eighth-rank aliens not just by hisbat power but by his nearly wless overall strength.


    Time passed.


    Two months went by in a sh.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, slowly perfecting his martial evolution path.


    Suddenly.


    Everyone on the main star of the Milky Way felt a wave of scorching heat, like a zing sun.


    "Hmm?"


    Chun Bo and Jia Li''s expressions changed slightly.


    They looked towards the source of the wave, which was the pce where the Milky Way Star Lord cultivated.


    The void was filled with light and heat as if a mini-sun had appeared, and the pce seemed to transform into a small star.


    "It''s the manifestation of a fire rule!"


    Red Skin and Green Eyes were excited. They knew very well what this scene meant.


    "A fire rule manifesting, has the star lordprehended a fire rule?" Chun Bo and Jia Li''s eyes widened.


    Comprehending a rule, even an ordinary one, was the domain of eighth-rank peak powerhouses.


    Lin Yuan had entered the eighth rank not long ago, and although hisbat power was not weaker than the eighth-rank peak,bat power and realm were two different things.


    Having eighth-rank peakbat power might be due to a powerful evolution path, mastering a killing secret technique, or having other opportunities. Butprehending a rule could only be done by oneself. The Milky Way Star Lordprehending a fire rule meant he had thoroughly mastered that aspect of power.


    "Star lord..."


    Red Skin and Green Eyes remained silent. Having spent a long time in Lin Yuan''s internal world, they knew that the Milky Way Star Lord had reached an extremely deep level of understanding of space rules. But now, he had silentlyprehended a fire rule as well?


    Could it be that there really were beings in the universe who could grow from a day to a century or a millennium?


    In the depths of the pce.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes, showing a satisfied expression.


    "The rule of the yang."


    Lin Yuan slightly raised his head, and the endless light and heat converged towards him, forming a thumb-sized ''yang'' mark that finally merged into his forehead and disappeared.


    "Unexpectedly, Iprehended the rule of the yang without realizing it."


    Lin Yuan was delighted.


    He had never intentionally studied the rule of the yang. But while perfecting his martial evolution path, his understanding of the yang rule and the yin rule deepened.


    Lin Yuan''s martial evolution path used the yin and yang of Tai Chi as its framework. As he perfected this path, his understanding of the yang and yin rules improved.


    "This earlyprehension of the yang rule is also rted to the Red Kun Lineage''s collection of many fire evolution paths."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    As the thirteenth peak master of the Red Kun Lineage, Lin Yuan had longprehended the evolution paths collected by his lineage.


    The Red Kun Lineage was most adept at the paths of fire and space rules, as their star lord, the Red Kun Star Lord, followed these two paths.


    Therefore, most of the evolution paths they collected focused on fire and space.


    This led to Lin Yuan being much more advanced in the yang rule than in the yin rule, and now he had evenprehended the yang rule first.


    The rule of the yang is an advanced fire rule, symbolizing endless light and heat.


    The invincible eighth-rank Lord of the Wan Yang Star Domain from the Human Civilization Alliance built his invincible path on the rule of the yang.


    His signature killing move, ''Wan Yang Together in the Sky,'' was something Lin Yuan still remembered and had used to create a series of yang rule-based killing moves.


    "Comprehending the rule of the yang greatly enhances mybat power and the perfection of my martial evolution path."


    Lin Yuan was satisfied.


    "And since my path involves merging the rules of the yang and the yin, now that I''veprehended the rule of the yang, I''m not far fromprehending the rule of the yin."


    Lin Yuan thought silently.


    The so-called Tao of Tai Chi is about theplementarity of yin and yang. A strong yang wouldpensate for yin, and a strong yin wouldpensate for the yang.


    Thispensation was not just in terms of power but also in ruleprehension.


    "Unfortunately, even if Iprehend both the yang and yin rules, thepleteprehension of the space rule is still a long way off."


    Lin Yuan turned to study the space rule again. He hadprehended just over two thousand core space models.


    ording to human civilization''s interpretation,prehending seven thousand seven hundred and eighty-two core space models would meanprehending the space rule.


    Butprehending seven thousand seven hundred and eighty-two core space models was incredibly difficult. As a pir rule, it almost represented the essence of the universe.


    Even the Red Kun Star Lord, as a Star Sea Kun, a favorite of the cosmic space source, had not fullyprehended the space rule.


    "Take it slow."


    "I''m still young and have plenty of time toprehend."


    Lin Yuan reined in his thoughts. With his Unrivaled Insight, he had hardly encountered any significant bottlenecks on the path of ruleprehension.


    Even the vast space rule would eventually beprehended, given time.


    If not for his current low realm, Lin Yuan would even want to study the time rule.


    "I wonder what will happen if Iprehend the yin rule and then merge it with the yang rule?" Lin Yuan frowned slightly.


    Pir rules like space, time, and life required merging with ordinary rules as a prerequisite for advancing from the eighth to the ninth rank.


    But since the yin and yang rules were not pir rules, their merger would create the Tao of Tai Chi? Tai Chi rule?


    So far, Lin Yuan had never heard of the Tai Chi rule.


    Tai Chi was just his definition of the fusion of the yin and yang rules.


    To form the final Tai Chi, the yin and yang had to merge in a fixed proportion, with no room for deviation.


    Beforeprehending theplete yin and yang rules, their fusion was not thorough, and the rule contact was notprehensive, so it appeared to have no effect.


    "There''s no point in thinking about this now. I''ll understand it once Iprehend the yin rule."


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes and continued his cultivation.


    With theplete yang rule, Lin Yuan''s understanding of the yin rule elerated significantly.


    While Lin Yuan was immersed in his cultivation and the Milky Way Star Domain was developing rapidly, two figures silently appeared in the cosmic void outside the Milky Way Main Star.


    "The main star of the Milky Way Star Domain."


    The two figures, a man and a woman, appeared side by side, looking down at the vast below.

 Chapter 243

    Chapter 243


    The man and woman had powerful auras, both being eighth-rank evolvers.


    The man was tall with sky-blue pupils, clearly indicating an extraordinary bloodline.


    The woman wore a pale white robe, exuding a profound aura, with faint silver patterns on her forehead.


    "This used to be a strategic for the Shadow n. It was a central hub controlling this star domain, but now, it has be the main star of our human civilization," the man marveled.


    "To be precise, it is the main star of the Milky Way Star Domain. The Milky Way Star Lord is known for his wealth and directly carried out a B-level transformation on this," the woman said with a smile.


    It was a well-known fact that the Milky Way Star Lord was incredibly wealthy. After all, one hundred thousand universe crystals were no small amount, even an eighth-rank peak evolver couldn''t gather that much.


    If Lin Yuan wasn''t a top genius of human civilization, an eighth-rank evolver under a hundred years old, even if he held an eighth-rank celebration, it wouldn''t be possible to gather more than ten thousand universe crystals.


    The major powers and lone evolvers were not fools. If Lin Yuan were just an ordinary evolver, they probably wouldn''t even bother celebrating, even out of respect for the Red Kun Star Lord, they might only make a token gesture.


    How could they possibly spend sovishly on gifts?"This Milky Way Star Lord is indeed remarkable, not only wealthy but also incredibly powerful. Shortly after taking office, he wiped out the special lifeforms and rogue aliens in the star domain, with at least six or seven eighth-rank alien heads under his belt," the male evolver hesitated, "I wonder if he would allow us to follow him."


    "And this Milky Way Star Lord is very young, not even a hundred years old yet. If we choose to follow him now..." the male evolver expressed his true thoughts.


    In the universe, it''s normal for the weak to follow the strong. But for them, who are tens of thousands of years old, to follow a ''youngster'' under a hundred?


    In the Human Civilization Alliance, and even among other races, once you decide to follow someone, you arepletely tied to them. No matter what happens in the future, this bond cannot be broken.


    "Lu Ran, you care too much about face, and miss out on opportunities," the female evolver shook her head slightly, "The Milky Way Star Lord is very young now, which is the perfect time for us to follow him. Otherwise, with his cultivation speed, when he reaches thousands or tens of thousands of years old, bing an invincible eighth-rank or even a ninth-rank evolver, he wouldn''t ept followers then."


    "If we follow him now while others are still hesitating, we won''t get any immediate benefits, but our status will be higher than those who followter," the female evolver thoughtprehensively.


    Face? The weak have no face.


    "That''s true," the male evolver nodded slightly, knowing the difference between giving timely help and adding to the cake.


    Now that the Milky Way Star Lord had just entered the eighth rank and taken over a star domain, following him now could still be seen as offering timely help.


    "Bing followers means we must obey the Milky Way Star Lord''s orders. If not, even if he kills us, the Three Goddesses won''t intervene," the male evolver stated.


    "If you want to gain, you must give. You can''t avoid risks and expect benefits. Where is such a thing?" the female evolver flew towards the main star of the Milky Way.


    Seeing this, the male evolver immediately followed.


    The two quickly descended to the star tform of the main star of the Milky Way.


    Rumble.


    Theary defense system of the main star of the Milky Way emitted vast fluctuations, enveloping them.


    The defense system of a B-levelary transformation could suppress most eighth-rank powerhouses in an instant.


    "What business do you two eighth-ranks have here?" A dark red-skinned alien flew out, cautiously scrutinizing the two.


    "Eighth-ranks?" The two were startled. They had thought they were the first eighth-ranks to follow the Milky Way Star Lord. Unexpectedly, there was already an eighth-rank follower, and it was an alien?


    "We have long admired the Milky Way Star Lord and havee specifically to seek an audience," the female eighth-rank quickly exined.


    "Seek an audience with the Star Lord? You two?" The red-skinned alien thought for a moment and said, "I''ll go ask the Star Lord."


    Seeking an audience required the Star Lord''s consent, and the red-skinned alien couldn''t make the decision.


    A momentter.


    The red-skinned alien looked at the two and nodded, "The Star Lord has agreed. Follow me."


    Soon.


    The two entered the pce.


    Lin Yuan, wearing a blue eighth-rank armor, sat cross-legged,prehending a space rule model. He slowly opened his eyes when they entered.


    Buzz.


    It was as if a great sun had risen.


    Lu Ran and the woman felt their mouths go dry and immediately showed great respect, "Greetings, Milky Way Star Lord."


    "Lu Ran, Ruan Wei." Lin Yuan spoke calmly. All eighth-rank evolvers of the Human Civilization Alliance were registered. With Lin Yuan''s memory, he naturally remembered them clearly.


    This pair had stepped into the eighth rank thousands of years ago. Afterpleting their duty of guarding a star domain, they had voluntarily stepped down to travel the universe.


    Guarding a star domain and bing a star lord was a lucrative position but also a prison. A star lord had to remain in their domain, with either a true self or a clone stationed there.


    This was uneptable to some evolvers, so they didn''t always serve as star lords.


    "We have heard of the Milky Way Star Lord''s achievements in clearing out all the unruly aliens in the star domain, and we are in awe. We havee specifically to follow you," the female evolver Ruan Wei said.


    "Follow me?" Lin Yuan''s expression remained unchanged.


    His teacher, the Red Kun Star Lord, had many followers.


    "What do you want?" Lin Yuan asked directly.


    Once they decided to follow, Lin Yuan would have control over their lives and deaths, even the Three Goddesses couldn''t intervene.


    Thus, followers always had their demands.


    When the ck Prison family''s head followed the Red Kun Star Lord, his condition was to establish a family lineage, leading to the prominent ck Prison family in the Red Kun Star Domain.


    "After stepping into the eighth rank, we have found cultivation increasingly difficult. We hope that when the Star Lord reaches the ninth rank, you could give us some guidance," Lu Ran said respectfully.


    Although the virtual world of human civilization had some cultivation experiences of ninth-rank evolvers, these were personal experiences and not very helpful to them.


    But obtaining direct guidance from a ninth-rank evolver was extremely difficult.


    "No problem," Lin Yuan agreed after a moment''s thought.


    Giving some guidance was simple enough.


    Now that he had just taken over the Milky Way Star Domain, he urgently needed many subordinates. Two eighth-rank evolvers could help a lot.


    Moreover, Lu Ran and Ruan Wei had clear backgrounds and were human evolvers, making them somewhat trustworthy. Lin Yuan agreed to ept them.


    "Thank you, Star Lord," Lu Ran and Ruan Wei felt relieved.


    They had thought it wouldn''t be a problem to follow the Milky Way Star Lord, but when they saw him, they realized they had underestimated him. His understanding of the rules far exceeded their expectations. Just sitting there, his gaze made them tremble.


    So they doubted themselves again until Lin Yuan agreed, and they felt relieved.


    "Stay on the main star for now. If anythinges up, you will handle it, and I won''t let you work for nothing," Lin Yuan said.


    While he could exploit followers to the fullest, Lin Yuan chose not to.


    A star domain, if well-developed, could generate significant benefits, and Lin Yuan was willing to share some of these.


    Red Kun Main Star.


    Thirteenth Peak.


    The Yang Spirit sat cross-legged in the depths of the hall.


    With Lin Yuan''s understanding of the Yang rule, the Yang Spirit''s aura surged.


    The Yin Spirit, formed from the power of the Yang, was closely rted to the Yang rule. Understanding the Yang rule significantly boosted the Yang Spirit.


    "My current strength..." Lin Yuan smiled, as the world of mes within him began to expand wildly, reaching a size of 400,000 miles.


    He had reached the normal standard for an eighth-rank peak evolver''s inner world.


    "No weaker than an average eighth-rank peak," Lin Yuan''s Yang Spirit assessed.


    Comprehending theplete Yang rule meant the Yang Spirit was at the eighth-rank peak, as the Yang Spirit didn''t follow a martial cultivation system.


    Essentially, he was just a primordial spirit, and the rule''s limit was his limit.


    "I''m now at the eighth-rank peak. If I understand the Yin rule and the Yin Spirit also reaches the eighth-rank peak, what would happen if the twobined into the Tai Chi Spirit?" Lin Yuan''s Yang Spirit was curious.


    The Yin and Yang Spirits, formed from Lin Yuan''s martial evolution path, originated from the Tai Chi Spirit.


    They could also merge.


    Whenbined, their power would soar, possibly rivaling his true self.


    At the seventh rank, merging the Yin and Yang Spirits could even forcefully create a second Tai Chi mini-world.


    "Speaking of the Yin Spirit, he can now go to the medium-sized alien battlefield," Lin Yuan''s Yang Spirit thought.


    The permanent spatial rifts in medium-sized alien battlefields were muchrger than those in smaller ones.


    Lin Yuan spected that being in suchrge permanent spatial rifts might greatly increase the umtion of boundary-breaking power.


    However, at the seventh rank, the Wisdom Goddess did not rmend Lin Yuan go to a medium-sized alien battlefield, even as a clone.


    Clones weren''t invincible, and some eighth-rank invincibles and ninth-rank evolvers had ways to deal with them.


    As a peerless genius of human civilization and the founder of the martial evolution path, the Wisdom Goddess prioritized Lin Yuan''s safety.


    Now that he had reached the eighth rank, there should be no problem going to a medium-sized alien battlefield.


    In theory, the strongest in a medium-sized alien battlefield were eighth-rank invincibles, with a small chance of encountering ninth-rank powerhouses.


    Lin Yuan''s primordial spirit, hidden and disguised, could mix in. In an extreme situation, he could abandon his primordial spirit.


    Although medium-sized alien battlefields were much more dangerous than the Milky Way Star Domain, Lin Yuan wouldn''t reveal his identity. Who would know he was a peerless genius of human civilization?


    "Wisdom Goddess," Lin Yuan immediately applied to the Wisdom Goddess.


    Any human evolver heading to an alien battlefield had to apply to the Three Goddesses; otherwise, they couldn''t get a battlefield pass and would be attacked by both humans and aliens.


    "Respected seventh-level citizen Lin Yuan, your application is approved," the Wisdom Goddess''s solemn and cold voice came.


    "Approved as expected," Lin Yuan smiled.


    At the eighth rank, with his identity hidden, going to a medium-sized alien battlefield posed little risk, evident from the Wisdom Goddess''s approval.


    Moreover, with the Divine Sealing Pearl given by Strongest One, there was no risk at all.


    The Divine Sealing Pearl was with his true self, but if his clone suffered memory pollution or other effects that impacted his true self, the pearl would activate, freeing both instantly, allowing him to control the clone''s self-destruction.


    Small-sized alien battlefield.


    The Yin Spirit left the permanent spatial rift, exited the battlefield, and headed for the chosen medium-sized alien battlefield.


    The most efficient way to save boundary-breaking power would be for the Yin Spirit to stay put while the Yang Spirit went to the medium-sized battlefield. When the Yang Spirit arrived, the Yin Spirit could leave and return to the Red Kun Main Star.


    But this would expose both the Yang and Yin Spirits simultaneously in space.


    Lin Yuan preferred wasting some boundary-breaking power over taking any risk.


    Main Star of the Milky Way.


    Lin Yuan ended his cultivation.


    He nced at the scenes on the main star.


    "Developing well," Lin Yuan nodded slightly. Under the management of four eighth-rank and two seventh-rank subordinates, the main star was thriving, withrgemercial organizations and other forces beginning to settle in the surrounding star domain.


    "Let''s take stock again," Lin Yuan thought, starting to inventory his spoils.


    Hunting those special lifeforms and rogue aliens had made Lin Yuan much wealthier, especially the contributions of the special lifeforms ''Shang Shan'' and ''Aodu,'' which brought in nearly 100k universe crystals.


    Additionally, other special lifeforms and rogue aliens provided significant gains.


    After collecting all recognizable treasures in a unified space ring, Lin Yuan began sorting through the remaining misceneous items.


    These special lifeforms and rogue aliens, living for ages, would asionally acquire some unrecognizable treasures and collect them.


    Now they were all in Lin Yuan''s possession, these unknown items piled up like a mountain range.


    "Let''s take a look," Lin Yuan had a simple method for dealing with unknown items: crush them.


    Anything that could withstand his strike without shattering was likely valuable.


    Rumble.


    With a thought, hundreds of misceneous items began to deform and turn to powder.


    "Hmm?" Lin Yuan was about to look away when he noticed something, his gaze falling on the powder.


    Amidst the powder was a gray gourd, falling along with the dust.


    "This gourd withstood my strike?" Lin Yuan smiled.


    Whatever its use, the material was good, worth a few universe crystals.


    "Let''s see what''s different," Lin Yuan grasped the gourd, applying some force, finding it unmoved, his expression changing.


    With his current strength, even a slight force could causeary-scale destruction.


    "Hmm?" Lin Yuan extended his consciousness to the gray gourd, his expression shifting slightly.

 Chapter 244

    "My consciousness can''t prate this gourd..."


    Lin Yuan''s expression grew slightly serious as he carefully observed the palm-sized gray gourd.


    In the vast universe, many materials are extremely hard and difficult to destroy, but few can block an evolver''s consciousness.


    Consciousness power is harder to detect than world power and soul power, as it is a derivation of spiritual/mental willpower.


    Given Lin Yuan''s current level of mental willpower, unless it was an eighth-rank treasure or rare item, he could at least get a rough understanding, if not a detailed one.


    "Eighth-rank treasure or rare item?"


    Lin Yuan stroked the surface of the gray gourd, feeling its cold, almost frictionless texture, simr to some advanced alloy.


    "How was this formed?"


    For a moment, Lin Yuan couldn''t discern if the gray gourd was manufactured or naturally formed."Wisdom Goddess, do you know what this gourd is?"


    After thinking for a while, Lin Yuan decisively connected to the Wisdom Goddess.


    As one of the three ultimate intelligent deities of human civilization, the Wisdom Goddess contained records of all known human materials.


    Treasures and rare items, as long as they had been uploaded by human evolvers, were recorded by the Wisdom Goddess.


    So, when in doubt, consult the goddess.


    This was not just a saying in human civilization.


    "Honorable Milky Way Star Lord, there is no item simr to this in the database."


    The Wisdom Goddess''s solemn and cold voice came through.


    "No simr item?"


    Lin Yuan was slightly taken aback.


    The Wisdom Goddess had only conducted a preliminary scan. To perform a more in-depth ''identification'', the gray gourd would need to be sent to the central star domain.


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness couldn''t prate it, but that didn''t mean human civilization couldn''t do it.


    However¡ª


    Even with just a preliminary scan, for the Wisdom Goddess to conclude there was no simr item was extremely rare.


    In over two million years of Star Sea history, had countless human evolvers seen everything?


    Even if there wasn''t an exact match, there should be many simr items, right?


    But the Wisdom Goddess concluded there were none.


    "This must be a treasure."


    Lin Yuan collected his thoughts and looked at the gray gourd.


    For an ordinary item, even if the Wisdom Goddess hadn''t seen it, there should be information on simr items.


    "This gray gourd, I got it from a rogue alien?"


    Lin Yuan began to recall that the gourd''s previous owner was a seventh-rank rogue alien.


    Compared to special lifeforms, rogue aliens liked to travel across the universe, and over time, they collected many odd items.


    This gray gourd was in the space ring of that seventh-rank rogue alien, mixed with other misceneous items of unclear origin.


    Clearly, that seventh-rank rogue alien hadn''t discovered the gourd''s uniqueness either.


    Perhaps the alien only noticed the gourd''s hardness and its ability to block consciousness power.


    Those rogue aliens didn''t have the Wisdom Goddess''s ''identification'' methods.


    In a vast universe, finding a hard object wasn''t unusual.


    Initially, Lin Yuan didn''t pay much attention to the gray gourd, thinking it might be worth a few universe crystals.


    "Hard?"


    "Let''s see how hard you are."


    Lin Yuan grasped the gray gourd and began to squeeze it.


    Buzz.


    Terrifying power began to affect the surrounding void.


    Lin Yuan''s awakened the physical divine ability ''Moving Mountain'' rted to the rule of strength.


    With his current martial eighth-rank body, enhanced by the ''Mountain Moving'' power, he could easily crush a high-life.


    Even ordinary eighth-rank evolvers couldn''t withstand such a squeeze.


    This was the suppression brought by absolute strength. Among the nine strongest humans, one followed the ultimate path of strength, capable of tearing space in the main world with mere gestures.


    This ultimate strength powerhouse and Xia Qin were known as the two strongest killers in the Human Civilization Alliance.


    "Hmm?"


    "Still intact?"


    After squeezing for a while, Lin Yuan released his grip and found that the gray gourd hadn''t even a scratch, his expression changing once again.


    Even the eighth-rank armor he wore would have shown marks under such force.


    And this gray gourd, which clearly wasn''t a defensive weapon, was harder than eighth-rank armor?


    "I don''t believe this."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts moved.


    He took the gray gourd into his inner world.


    Swish.


    His inner world, now over 700,000 miles in radius, had merged with three universe rare items and,bined with Lin Yuan''s understanding of the rules, was bing increasingly simr to the real world.


    "Go."


    Lin Yuan threw the gray gourd.


    Instantly.


    The power of the inner world surged and swept over the gray gourd.


    The terrifying world power, as if recreating the heavens and earth, attacked the gray gourd from all directions.


    However.


    No matter how Lin Yuan mobilized the world power.


    The gray gourd remained unmoved, floating in the overwhelming world power.


    "Even world power can''t do anything?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression grew serious. In his inner world, he could exert powerparable to an eighth-rank invincible who had mastered some cosmic force.


    Yet even so.


    He still couldn''t shake the gray gourd.


    Lin Yuan even felt that even if he became an eighth-rank invincible or advanced to the ninth rank.


    He still wouldn''t be able to deal with this gray gourd.


    "This gourd..."


    Lin Yuan felt a bit troubled.


    "I''ll study it for a while longer."


    "If I still can''t figure it out, I''ll give it to the Wisdom Goddess for rewards."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. Even if this gray gourd was an incredible treasure.


    But if he couldn''t use it, it was as good as useless, just like its previous owner, and it ended up in his hands.


    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.


    Not to mention, just the fact that the gray gourd could withstand his world power crush might make it worth a lot, perhaps one or two universe rare items?


    In the following days.


    Whenever Lin Yuan had time, he tried various methods.


    Since force didn''t work, Lin Yuan tried a gentler approach.


    For example, using his soul power to get close to the gray gourd.


    But it was useless.


    He also tried cing the gray gourd in the source ocean of his inner world.


    Some treasures, like primal fine gold, craved world source power.


    But it was still useless.


    The precious world source power couldn''t touch the gray gourd.


    Several dayster.


    Lin Yuan finally gave up.


    "It seems we''re not fated."


    Lin Yuan stared at the gray gourd with some regret.


    He knew the gray gourd held great secrets.


    But he didn''t know how to unlock them.


    Having a treasure mountain but unable to enter it was a frustrating feeling.


    "Should I try dripping blood?"


    Lin Yuan suddenly thought, though he didn''t have high hopes.


    The so-called ''blood recognition'' method was a very outdated technique.


    In the Human Alliance and among other races, soul transfers weremon. Many evolvers would even cultivate and integrate special life bloodlines into replicated bodies for a higher starting point for their offspring.


    So.


    Bodies were not fixed.


    Bloodlines were not fixed.


    The soul and mental will were fundamental.


    Blood recognition was eliminated by human civilization ages ago.


    Recognition methods were based on the soul and mental will.


    But now.


    Lin Yuan had no other choice but to try.


    Even if it didn''t work, he wouldn''t be surprised.


    Whew.


    Lin Yuan exhaled softly.


    He raised his right hand, squeezed out a drop of blood.


    With Lin Yuan''s current body strength, blood wouldn''t flow out unless he intentionally squeezed it.


    Drip.


    A viscous drop of blood fell onto the gray gourd.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression changed slightly.


    Due to the ''Blood Rebirth'' divine ability.


    Lin Yuan had absolute control over every drop of his blood.


    No matter how far, he could sense its specific condition.


    But just now.


    When the blood touched the gray gourd''s surface.


    Lin Yuan instantly lost sensation of the drop of blood.


    Not only that.


    The blood on the gray gourd''s surface quickly fused into the gourd.


    "So, it requires blood?"


    Lin Yuan''s eyes brightened as he carefully observed the gray gourd''s changes.


    Buzz.


    A slight vibration began emanating from the gray gourd.


    The moment Lin Yuan sensed the vibration, his mind left his body, as if entering an endless crimson ocean.


    "The power of rebirth in the bloodline matches the activation condition..."


    In a trance, Lin Yuan heard a mental fluctuation with a meaning easily understood.


    After a long while.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes again.


    "This gourd?"


    Lin Yuan examined the gray gourd again.


    Now, the gray gourd''s color was changing slightly.


    No longer purely gray, it had traces of crimson.


    Through the brief contact earlier, Lin Yuan learned that the gourd contained some special liquid.


    This special liquid had incredible effects on the evolution of life, but the side effects were severe, and only those with ''Rebirth Power'' in their bloodline could try to absorb it.


    "Rebirth Power?"


    "It should refer to my ''Blood Rebirth'' physical divine ability."


    Lin Yuan thought silently.


    At the seventh-rank evolver level, even if the body was shattered, as long as the soul remained, it could recover.


    But that recovery was merely healing, not true rebirth.


    Rebirth from a drop of blood didn''t mean just a drop of blood; it meant as long as there was a trace of life essence, rebirth could ur.


    Blood was just the ''medium'' for carrying life essence.


    "What kind of transformation requires such preconditions?"


    Lin Yuan marveled. He had never seen another evolver with a simr ''Blood Rebirth'' ability.


    Even Lin Yuan''s physical power wasn''t from the main world but from the Immortal World.


    He hadprehended this power in the Immortal World, formed a divine imprint, and ''brought'' it back to the main world.


    "Let''s see what the effect is."


    Lin Yuan picked up the gourd, gently shook it, then turned it upside down.


    After the gourd recognized him, Lin Yuan had the initial qualification to use it. Soon, a drop of liquid formed at the gourd''s mouth.


    The liquid was crystal clear, crimson, as if containing a vast crimson ocean.


    "So beautiful."


    Lin Yuan gazed at the liquid, his mind almost entranced, feeling as if the liquid held the entire universe.


    "ording to the information I received, I just need to drink it?"


    His consciousness returned to the gray and crimson gourd.


    The crimson liquid still hung at the gourd''s mouth.


    "The liquid in the gourd has seven colors, from red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, to purple."


    "Only by fully absorbing the red liquid and transforming the bodypletely will the second color liquid appear..."


    Lin Yuan thought.


    "Let''s try."


    Lin Yuan''s thought moved, and a drop of blood floated out of his body.


    ording to the information from the gourd, absorbing the liquid required great risk.


    With a drop of blood outside, even if something went wrong, he could quickly regenerate.


    Although Lin Yuan had left blood on the Red Kun Main Star, it was too far away.


    "Begin."


    Lin Yuan steadied himself and swallowed the red liquid from the gourd''s mouth.


    Rumble.


    In an instant.


    Lin Yuan felt his body ignite like mes.


    His flesh burned, his organs burned, his bones burned, everything burned.


    Then.


    Under the ''Blood Rebirth'' power, everything that burned in Lin Yuan''s body quickly regenerated.


    So, the burning power of the red liquid and Lin Yuan''s rebirth power began to stalemate.


    After half a day.


    Lin Yuan''s body couldn''t hold on and turned to ashes.


    The red liquid''s effect vanished, and the scattered ''ashes'' quickly regenerated, re-forming Lin Yuan''s figure.


    "What is this stuff..."


    Before Lin Yuan couldment.


    He was shocked to find his regenerated body had doubled in vitality.


    It had doubled.


    Not just increased by a small margin.


    Even a small increase was incredible.


    At Lin Yuan''s level, body and soul approached their limits. Further transformation and evolution required breaking through the current realm.


    Or consuming precious universe rare items.


    But even then, the improvement wasn''t huge, at most a small margin, not a doubling... Lin Yuan couldn''t even imagine it.


    "No."


    "Not just the body."


    "My inner world..."


    Lin Yuan''s expression turned to shock, his mind quickly entering his inner world.


    Rumble.


    The inner world surged.


    Originally 700,000 miles in radius, it had now expanded to 1,500,000 miles.


    The world power operated like heaven and earth copsing, and the sun formed by the universe rare item ''Primal me'' had ''shrunk'' significantly, clearly not keeping up with the inner world''s expansion.


    "My inner world? It also doubled?"


    Lin Yuan murmured, incredulous.

 Chapter 245

    Chapter 245


    The size of the internal world.


    It is influenced by two aspects.


    One is internal.


    The other is external.


    The internal factors include the strength of the body, the degree ofprehension of space rules, and so on.


    Normally, the deeper theprehension of space rules, the more core space models one understands, and therger the internal world bes.


    As for physical strength? Significantly increasing physical strength in a short time is difficult.


    But gradually enhancing physical strength over a long period until reaching the limit is not a problem.


    Therefore.For human eighth-rank evolvers, there is generally no issue with the body.


    The external factors are some rare treasures rted to space.


    For instance, the extremely precious ''World Fruit'' can forcibly erge the internal world when it is being developed.


    However, this ergement is one-time. If a peak seventh-rank evolver uses the ''World Fruit'' for the first time, they can develop an internal world with a radius of several thousand miles.


    For this internal world to continue expanding, the evolver''sprehension of space rules must improve to a corresponding level.


    That is, surpassing the level of an internal world with a radius of several thousand miles.


    But now¡ª


    Lin Yuan''sprehension of space rules has not significantly improved.


    Nor has he used such rare treasures as the ''World Fruit.''


    Yet his internal world has doubled out of nowhere. This is simply astonishing.


    "What?!"


    Lin Yuan took a deep breath.


    The internal world is the foundation of an eighth-rank evolver, even rted to the ninth and tenth ranks.


    When two eighth-rank evolvers fight, if one has an internal world of one hundred thousand miles and the other fifty thousand miles, if no other factors influence the battle, the oue will be overwhelmingly one-sided.


    The red liquid inside the gourd instantly doubled Lin Yuan''s internal world, far more than just doubling hisbat power.


    "And¡ª"


    Lin Yuan felt carefully for a while and discovered an even more shocking fact.


    This enhancement is not just a simple increase but a fundamental one.


    What is a fundamental increase?


    A normal eighth-rank evolver''s initial internal world is about one hundred miles in radius.


    Then, they constantlyprehend spacews and enhance their physical strength. In theory, if they fullyprehend the spacews at the eighth rank, the internal world size will reach ten million miles in radius.


    This is the theoretical limit for eighth-rank evolvers.


    Few eighth-rank evolvers can expand their internal world to this extent. Fullyprehending space rules? Even some ninth-rank evolvers haven''t done so, let alone eighth-rank ones. Lin Yuan''s fundamental increase is not adding 700k miles on top of a ten million miles radius.


    Instead, the theoretical limit for eighth-rank evolvers, in Lin Yuan''s case, directly bes twenty million miles in radius.


    This effect will definitely not be limited to the eighth rank. When Lin Yuan reaches the ninth or even the tenth rank, he will gain a huge advantage over those of the same level.


    "Incredible."


    "Truly incredible."


    Lin Yuan''s heart did not calm down for a long time.


    Even he had never imagined that such a method to break racial shackles existed in the universe.


    A ten million miles radius internal world is the shackle for human eighth-rank evolvers.


    But for some special beings, the maximum size of their internal world exceeds ten million miles in radius.


    For example, peak bloodline special beings like the Star Sea Kun. Such beings have a much higher upper limit for their internal world than humans.


    But there''s nothing that can be done about it.


    Different species have different limits.


    "This is only the first drop of the red liquid, and I haven''t even fully absorbed it. There are six more levels of liquid. If I absorb them all, howrge will my internal world''s upper limit be? Tens of millions of miles? Or even billions?"


    Lin Yuan''s eyes shifted back to the grey-red gourd in front of him.


    If the size of the internal world reaches tens of millions or even billions of miles.


    Then even if Lin Yuan hasn''t mastered any cosmic power, he could easily crush those invincible eighth-rank evolvers.


    The so-called cosmic power merely greatly enhances an eighth-rank evolver''s means, and a vast internal world does the same.


    "This is an opportunity."


    "This is an extremely precious opportunity. Even for the Strongest ones, it is very difficult to break racial shackles, let alone far exceed them."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The Strongest ones are high above, transcending the universe, capable of causing permanent damage to the main world.


    But that is for the Strongest themselves. If they were to break the limitations for other evolvers, it would definitelye at a huge cost.


    "This gourd must not be disclosed." Lin Yuan made a decision in his heart.


    He could inform human civilization about bing a regr member of the Devil Jade Tower because it didn''t affect him.


    Whether it''s one or ten members of the Devil Jade Tower, it makes no difference.


    Moreover, it''s impossible toprehend three thousand three hundred and thirty-three evolution paths in a short time.


    But Lin Yuan only has one gourd. If he tells the Goddess of Wisdom, and a Strongest one steps in to borrow it, should he agree or not?


    "Continue."


    Lin Yuan shook the grey-red gourd.


    Then turned the mouth of the gourd downwards.


    Soon.


    Another drop of red liquid gathered at the mouth of the gourd.


    The previous drop of red liquid Lin Yuan consumed wasn''t fully absorbed before his body turned to ashes.


    To fully absorb the liquid, one must persist until the burning me is extinguished.


    Time passed.


    In the blink of an eye, six months had passed.


    On the main star of the Milky Way Star Domain, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    Inside him, faint red mes burned.


    Terrifying power almost overflowed, capable of easily burning his blood, flesh, organs, and bones, forcing him to constantly use the ''rebirth from a drop of blood'' divine ability. How could the power of that red me be underestimated?


    No one knew how much time had passed.


    With a bang.


    Lin Yuan''s body turned to ashes.


    In an instant, from the countless ashes, Lin Yuan''s body quickly condensed, reborn.


    "No wonder one must have the ''Blood Rebirth'' ability to open the gourd. Without such an ability, daring to absorb the liquid from the gourd would cost countless lives."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Even with the rebirth from a drop of blood, Lin Yuan was now a bit tired. The ability is not infinitely usable; each use consumes some of his strength. Although it recovers quickly, frequent use is still taxing.


    "However."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    Over the past six months, most of his time had been spent absorbing the red liquid from the gourd. He didn''t know how many times he had used Blood Rebirth.


    But the effect was obvious.


    Now, Lin Yuan''s internal world had reached two million miles in radius.


    It was three times the original 700k miles radius.


    Normally, expanding the internal world to two million miles in radius would requireprehending three thousand core space models.


    This is a necessary prerequisite.


    But now, Lin Yuan had onlyprehended just over two thousand core space models, corresponding to an internal world size of 700k miles in radius.


    "I wonder howrge my teacher''s internal world is."


    Lin Yuan thought silently. The Red Kun Star Lord''s true form is the Star Sea Kun, and its internal world''s upper limit should exceed tens of millions of miles.


    But that''s just the upper limit. Even for the Star Sea Kun, reaching the upper limit is rare.


    Human evolvers need to fullyprehend space rules to touch the upper limit, and it''s not much easier for the Star Sea Kun.


    "Let''s rest for a while."


    Lin Yuan stopped cultivating, nning to go out for a walk.


    At this moment.


    The voice of the Goddess of Wisdom suddenly sounded.


    "Respected Milky Way Star Lord, the Milky Way Star Domain has now stabilized. Shall we begin interster migration?"


    "Interster migration?"


    Lin Yuan was not surprised.


    This star domain, the Milky Way Star Domain, was seized from the Shadow n by humans. Originally, it was the territory of the Shadow n.


    Since it was the Shadow n''s domain, naturally, it was popted by Shadow n beings, with no human citizens.


    Lin Yuan came early to get familiar with the environment and resolve some unstable factors.


    To fully transform this star domain into the territory of human civilization, arge-scale interster migration is necessary.


    In the star domain, there are over 1.5 million habitables. Without arge human poption residing on them, theses hold little significance.


    Resources also require many human citizens to manage, as frequent maic field fluctuations on some resources may cause issues with intelligent life forms.


    Human presence is necessary to ensure no major problems arise.


    "Begin."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    The Milky Way Star Domain now desperately needed arge human poption.


    Red Kun Star Domain.


    On an ordinary medium-level life.


    A young man was bidding farewell to his parents.


    "Son, our family can live peacefully here. Why must you migrate to such a distant star domain?"


    The father looked helplessly at his youngest son.


    For ordinary citizens, they might never leave their star system in a lifetime, let alone a star domain. The son''s voluntary migration to the frontier star domain meant they might never see each other again in their lifetimes.


    Ordinary citizens do not enjoy virtual world privileges.


    "Dad, Mom, the universe is vast, and I don''t want to be stuck on this forever."


    "The star domain I''m migrating to is the Milky Way Star Domain, governed by our Thirteenth Peak Master."


    "As a first-batch immigrant, I will have more opportunities, and maybe I can be an evolver."


    "Then, I will definitelye back to see you."


    The young man''s eyes sparkled, not noticing his parents'' sadness.


    "Alright, alright, the boy has grown up. If he has his own ideas, let him go." The mother sighed.


    "Remember to video call us when you get there."


    The mother touched the young man''s head and reminded him.


    "I know, I know."


    "The migration ship ising."


    "I have to go. Take care of yourselves."


    The young man checked the time, turned around, and walked away quickly.


    The two parents stood still for a long time, only looking away when the young man waspletely out of sight.


    Human civilization''s territory expands every moment, so immigration is verymon.


    Migrating to a newly developed star domain has its pros and cons.


    The downside is the living andary environment is not as stable and safe as in the rear star domains.


    Some new star domains even face threats from alien beings.


    But the benefits are clear.


    The upward mobility channels are fully open.


    In mature and stable rear star domains, human citizens can live well even without working, thanks to abundant social welfare.


    But social sses are almost fixed. Unless one bes an evolver or high-level citizen, crossing sses is difficult.


    But is bing an evolver easy? Not to mention a high-level citizen.


    But these are rtively easier to achieve in newly developed star domains.


    Various evolutionary paths to be an evolver and merit points for upgrading citizen levels will be made avable to immigrants to encourage them.


    Although not much, at least there''s a way to obtain them.


    Therefore, many ambitious human citizens are not opposed to immigration.


    Red Kun Main Star.


    Lin Yuan nced at the immigration situation.


    "Many citizens from the Red Kun Star Domain have moved over?"


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    The Milky Way Star Domain is under the jurisdiction of the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Star Domain. If they must migrate, it''s better to move to the Milky Way Star Domain than to an unknown one.


    Not to mention the possible care from the Thirteenth Peak Master, at least they wouldn''t be mistreated.


    "Human civilization''s foundation in the universe lies in its vast poption."


    Lin Yuan thought silently.


    Peak species like the Insect have very few true members. Most are Insect warriors produced by the Insect mother nests.


    In battles between humans and the Insect, it''s often one Insect mother nest against countless human evolvers.


    The most terrifying aspect of the Insect mother nest is its ability to continuously produce Insect warriors, though it consumes a lot of energy and has no clear limits.


    Even so.


    In the wars between humans and the Insect, leaving out the top-levelbat power of the Strongest ones, humans are merely suppressed by the Insect, far from being defeated.


    What supports this? It''s therge number of human evolvers.


    And where do these human evolverse from?


    From an evenrger poption base.


    Designation B520 Alien Battlefield.


    The Yin primordial spirit disguised as an ordinary human eighth-rank evolver entered the human-controlled area of the battlefield.


    On a medium-sized alien battlefield, eighth-rank powerhouses are verymon. Even among eighth-rank powerhouses, there are significant differences between early, mid,te, and extreme stages.


    Not to mention the near-invincible eighth-rank.


    An invincible eighth-rank can dominate a medium-sized alien battlefield. Even if they are unlucky enough to encounter a ninth-rank powerhouse, they have a chance to survive.


    "The permanent space crack on this battlefield reaches ten thousand meters, caused by the aftermath of a Strongest one''s action 1.5 million years ago."


    Lin Yuan''s Yin primordial spirit eagerly followed the other human evolvers to the permanent space crack.


    Soon.


    Lin Yuan saw the permanent space crack emitting terrifying spatial fluctuations.


    "Let''s see how much the breaking boundary source power can I umte."


    Lin Yuan immediately focused his mind, carefully sensing the magnificent, towering Gate of Myriad Realms in his mind.


    The space cracks on the previous small alien battlefields were between ten to dozens of meters.


    After a while.


    Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, a look of joy on his face.

 Chapter 246

    Chapter 246


    B520 Alien Battlefield.


    The Yin primordial spirit stood still, looking at the permanent space crack that was ten thousand meters wide.


    "The umtion speed of the boundary-breaking source power is much faster than in small alien battlefields. Does the umtion of boundary-breaking source power depend on the size of the permanent space crack rather than the number?"


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    He had previously tried sending the Yin primordial spirit and the Yang primordial spirit to different small alien battlefields, approaching the permanent space cracks simultaneously.


    However, this did not enhance the umtion of boundary-breaking source power.


    But now, after approaching the ten thousand meters wide permanent space crack in this medium-sized alien battlefield, Lin Yuan clearly felt the difference.


    "The initial umtion speed of the boundary-breaking source power for the Gate of Myriad Realms is one wisp every three hundred and thirty-three days. In small alien battlefields, the space cracks reduced this to one wisp every two hundred and ny days."


    "Now..."Lin Yuan closed his eyes to confirm again.


    "It''s two hundred days for one wisp!"


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face. umting one wisp of boundary-breaking source power every two hundred days means he could umte two wisps in just over a year.


    Compared to the initial umtion speed, this was almost a doubling of the speed.


    "I currently have seventeen wisps of boundary-breaking source power."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. Seventeen wisps of boundary-breaking source power theoretically allowed him to transmigrate continuously seventeen times.


    But that would be the most basic form of transmigration, which is random transmigration.


    When Lin Yuan was not very strong, even random transmigration could yield significant improvements.


    After all,cking strength means there is still a long way to go to reach the upper limit. The endless dimensions and endless worlds, even randomly transmigrating, are likely to help him.


    However, now... Lin Yuan was already an eighth-rank evolver. In many worlds, even if he transmigrated over, the help they could provide would be very limited.


    For instance, if Lin Yuan transmigrated to the worlds of his third or fourth transmigration worlds now, not to mention breaking through limitations, it would be questionable whether he could even recover his full strength.


    The key point is¡ª


    After Lin Yuan''s seventh transmigration, which was undertaken to ovee the heart demon tribtion, he came to a conclusion.


    The time Lin Yuan spent in the world after transmigrating is rted to the world''s level.


    Simply put, the higher the world''s level, the longer Lin Yuan could stay, and vice versa.


    Soon.


    The Yin primordial spirit found the optimal position near the ten thousand meters wide permanent space crack.


    This position maximized the umtion of boundary-breaking source power, ultimately reducing the time to one hundred and ny-eight days per wisp.


    "My internal world now..."


    Lin Yuan sensed the Yin world in his qi sea and dantian.


    After advancing to the eighth rank, even the primordial spirit could develop an internal world.


    The Yang primordial spirit developed a ''Yang World'' filled with mes, while the Yin primordial spirit developed a ''Yin World''.


    However, due to various influences, the internal worlds developed by the main body, the Yang primordial spirit, and the Yin primordial spirit differed.


    The main body simultaneously mastered the Yin-Yang Tai Chi, withplete and perfect rules, currently developing an internal world over seven hundred thousand miles in radius.


    With the enhancement and transformation by the mysterious gourd''s liquid, the internal world had expanded to two million miles in radius.


    The Yang primordial spirit, havingprehended the Yang rules, developed an internal world that also reached four hundred thousand miles in radius, stepping into the peak of the eighth rank.


    As for the Yin primordial spirit, its current internal world was only two hundred thousand miles in radius. It was foreseeable that when Lin Yuanprehended the Yin rules, his ''Yin World'' would also reach four hundred thousand miles in radius.


    "Unfortunately, the liquid in that gourd only works on flesh-and-blood life forms. As for energy life forms? It has no effect."


    The Yin primordial spirit shook his head slightly.


    The vast universe has birthed countless life forms, with flesh-and-blood life forms being the mainstream. However, besides flesh-and-blood life forms, there are energy life forms.


    Energy life forms are those without flesh and blood, with their essence being souls or other intangible forces. Strictly speaking, Lin Yuan''s two primordial spirits could be considered energy life forms.


    Compared to flesh-and-blood life forms, energy life forms have many advantages, such as immunity to most physical attacks.


    In human civilization, certain special physiques and bloodline methods can achieve temporary energy embodiment of the body.


    But these are far from true energy life forms.


    "From now on, this primordial spirit of mine will need to stay here." Lin Yuan nced around.


    He specifically chose this medium-sized alien battlefield not only because of the permanent space crack but also because high-intensity wars rarely ur here.


    This satisfied Lin Yuan. In the event of high-intensity wars, it could lead to a situation simr to that in the initial small alien battlefield, where human evolvers had to flee.


    Of course, in most high-intensity war zones, human civilization evolvers hold the advantage, actively pursuing and killing the aliens.


    Milky Way main star.


    Lin Yuan was still in secluded cultivation.


    The various affairs of the main star and the Milky Way Star Domain were mostly delegated to his subordinates, with the Goddess of Wisdom keeping a close watch.


    There were generally no issues.


    After his body turned to dust once again and he was reborn through the divine ability ''Blood Rebirth''.


    Lin Yuan began to sense the changes in his body and internal world.


    "The improvement speed is getting slower..."


    Lin Yuan thought.


    After absorbing the first drop of red liquid, Lin Yuan''s internal world had doubled instantly.


    But with each subsequent absorption, the rate of improvement slowed.


    Lin Yuan was not surprised. The liquid in the gourd could forcibly enhance the basic size of the internal world, which was already extraordinary.


    Moreover, Lin Yuan was currently absorbing only the first type of red liquid.


    There were six more different colored liquids waiting for him.


    "Now my internal world has reached two million two hundred thousand miles in radius, 3.1 times the initial 700k miles."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The further he progressed, the smaller the increments of improvement.


    Lin Yuan estimated that the first type of red liquid would stop enhancing his internal world at 3.33 times the initial size.


    At this point, Lin Yuan would have fully absorbed this type of red liquid and would start absorbing the next type, the orange liquid.


    "Three point three times?"


    Lin Yuan pondered. He was very familiar with this number.


    One of the prerequisites for bing a regr member of the Devil Jade Tower is toprehend three thousand three hundred and thirty-three evolution paths.


    The initial umtion speed of boundary-breaking source power for the Gate of Myriad Realms is three hundred and thirty-three days.


    Whether it''s the Devil Jade Tower or the Gate of Myriad Realms, both have mysterious origins. Especially the Gate of Myriad Realms, which can easily send Lin Yuan to other dimensional worlds.


    When he was weak, Lin Yuan didn''t think much about it.


    But as his strength grew and his understanding of space rules deepened, he realized how terrifying this method was. Even the Strongest ones couldn''t create a passage to other dimensional worlds, right?


    "Keep going."


    "After fully absorbing this red liquid, let''s see what the orange liquid does."


    Lin Yuan rested for a while and then resumed absorbing the red liquid.


    Besides that, Lin Yuan also focused on perfecting the martial evolution path andprehending the space rule models.


    Everything was progressing in an orderly manner. Almost every day, Lin Yuan''s strength increased a bit.


    Each mile the internal world expanded could significantly enhance an eighth-rank evolver. How much more so when Lin Yuan''s internal world was expanding by far more than one mile each day? Several monthster.


    A guest arrived at the Milky Way main star.


    "Hahaha, so you are Red Kun''s little disciple? Remarkable." In the pce, Lin Yuan sat facing a bald man in a white robe.


    The bald man in the white robe exuded an aura of light and holiness with every gesture, naturally making people feel close and favorable.


    "Star Lord White Light, you say that, I feel a bit embarrassed." Lin Yuan said with a smile.


    The Star Lord White Light in front of him was an old eighth-rank peak powerhouse of human civilization and a friend of Red Kun Star Lord.


    Although Star Lord White Light was not an invincible eighth-rank, his strength was at the absolute peak within the eighth rank.


    In terms of space ruleprehension, he was almost on par with Red Kun Star Lord.


    He just hadn''tprehended a certain cosmic power, thus falling short of Red Kun Star Lord.


    Invincible eighth-rank powerhouses are still essentially at the fourth stage of the eighth rank.


    But theprehension of a certain cosmic power greatly boosts theirbat strength, cing them above the eighth rank, even capable of survival against ninth-rank evolvers.


    "This is the Thunder Heart you wanted." Star Lord White Light smiled at Lin Yuan, then threw out a mass of thunder that looked like a beating heart.


    The Thunder Heart is an eight-rank cosmic treasure, and it can be considered top-grade.


    Lin Yuan''s rapidly expanding internal world needed such cosmic treasures for perfection. Learning from his teacher, Red Kun Star Lord, that Star Lord White Light recently obtained this ''Thunder Heart,'' Lin Yuan contacted him for a trade.


    Recently returning from an alien battlefield and passing through the Milky Way Star Domain, Star Lord White Light decided to deliver it personally.


    "Thank you, Star Lord White Light."


    Lin Yuan immediately handed over twelve thousand universe crystals.


    As a top-grade eight-rank cosmic treasure, the Thunder Heart is always in demand, typically priced between ten thousand to twenty thousand universe crystals.


    Star Lord White Light was obviously giving Lin Yuan a discount out of respect for Red Kun Star Lord.


    "The transaction isplete."


    Star Lord White Light epted the universe crystals, then looked at Lin Yuan again, "What''s your next n? Will youprehend a cosmic power to be invincible in the eighth rank?"


    "Invincible in the eighth rank?"


    "That''s too difficult." Lin Yuan was slightly stunned and shook his head.


    Whether in human civilization or among other peak and strong races, there are invincible eighth-rank powerhouses.


    But so far, no race has summarized a specific method to be invincible in the eighth rank.


    Each invincible eighth-rank is unique, with differentprehended cosmic powers.


    "Invincible in the eighth rank is indeed very difficult."


    "Many eighth-rank evolvers advance to the ninth rank withoutprehending a cosmic power."


    Star Lord White Light nodded.


    In human civilization, it might take thousands of eighth-rank evolvers to produce one invincible eighth-rank.


    Bing invincible in the eighth rank also requires luck.


    "But for others, it''s difficult. For you..."


    A strange expression appeared on Star Lord White Light''s face. Lin Yuan''s talent and aptitude were the most terrifying he had ever seen.


    Bing an eighth-rank under a hundred years old was one thing.


    But to single-handedly cleanse the Milky Way Star Domain, wiping out all powerful special life forms and alien lone wanderers? Achieving this required at least eighth-rank peakbat strength.


    This was simply monstrous.


    Star Lord White Light didn''t know how to describe Lin Yuan.


    But one thing was certain.


    What''s difficult for other evolvers.


    For Lin Yuan, perhaps it was only a matter of time?


    After sending off Star Lord White Light.


    Lin Yuan fell into deep thought.


    Recently, he had also been pondering how to be invincible in the eighth rank.


    But to no avail, each invincible eighth-rank hadprehended a unique cosmic power, and it couldn''t be replicated.


    Lin Yuan mustprehend a cosmic power himself to be invincible in the eighth rank.


    But this wasn''t easy.


    "Take it slow."


    "There''s no need to set invincibility in the eighth rank as a goal."


    "Bing invincible in the eighth rank is good, but if not, then just advance to the ninth rank."


    Lin Yuan was clear in his thoughts.


    No matter how strong an invincible eighth-rank is, they are only capable of survival in front of a ninth-rank, clearly inferior to thetter.


    Besides.


    Lin Yuan''s failure toprehend a cosmic power didn''t mean he couldn''t be invincible in the eighth rank.


    ording to Lin Yuan''s estimation, as long as his internal world expanded beyond tens of millions of miles in radius, his realbat power would not be lower than that of an invincible eighth-rank, even without cosmic power.


    Outside the Milky Way Star Domain.


    On a deste.


    Five figures stood quietly.


    Their auras werepletely restrained, but they vaguely resonated with the surrounding starry sky and universe, revealing them as five invincible eighth-rank powerhouses.


    Buzz.


    A consciousness projection descended.


    A shadow of a Insect hive,rger than a, appeared faintly.


    "Envoy."


    Seeing this, the five invincible eighth-rank powerhouses slightly bowed to the Insect hive shadow.


    As invincible eighth-ranks, even in front of ninth-rank powerhouses, there''s no need to be so respectful, as invincible eighth-ranks generally have life-saving means against ninth-rank powerhouses.


    But this Insect hive shadow represented a great existence of the Insect race, above the ninth rank.


    "Your target this time is the Milky Way Star Lord, that human civilization''s peerless genius."


    The Insect hive shadow emitted a spiritual wave, sweeping over the five invincible eighth-rank powerhouses.


    There''s a tacit understanding among the major peak races, whether on the battlefield or elsewhere, to avoid deploying ninth-rank and above powerhouses.


    Even to assassinate a peerless genius like the Milky Way Star Lord, they wouldn''t break this tacit understanding.


    Previously, the Insect broke the tacit understanding because of the body of a Strongest one that drifted in from outside the world.


    It contained an endless Strongest evolution path.


    There was hope of adding a Strongest one (Queen) to the Insect race.


    Thus, the Insect race turned the tables.


    But the Milky Way Star Lord? While indeed a peerless genius of human civilization, the likelihood of bing a Strongest one? Highly unlikely.


    For the Insect race, assassinating the Milky Way Star Lord was merely to reduce future battlefield losses.


    "Envoy, the Milky Way Star Lord has just entered the eighth rank. Even with invincible eighth-rankbat strength, wouldn''t one of us be enough? Why send five?"


    The leftmost invincible eighth-rank asked.


    "Just entered the eighth rank?"


    The Insect hive shadow nced at this invincible eighth-rank, a hint of mockery in its eyes.

 Chapter 247

    Chapter 247


    The other four invincible rank-eight individuals witnessed this.


    They immediately realized that the Insect Race must know more crucial information or have deeper ns.


    "Milky Way Star Lord is ranked seventh in the evaluation list of human geniuses under ten thousand years old, ording to my n."


    The Hive''s shadow spoke calmly.


    "Seventh?"


    The five invincible rank-eight individuals were shocked.


    The Insect Race, as such a pinnacle race, have extremely stringent definitions of genius, and the list theypiled for human civilization considers many aspects.


    For the Milky Way Star Lord to be ranked seventh, his capabilities in all aspects must be terrifying.


    It should be known that for an invincible rank-eight under a hundred years old, it''s difficult to achieve this ranking."The growth rate of the Milky Way Star Lord is too fast."


    The Hive''s shadow did not borate further.


    Although the Insect Race do not have a virtual world or three ultimate intelligent goddesses, they do have the top divination masters.


    By coting various pieces of information, they deduced the potential of the Milky Way Star Lord, which is no less than the offspring of the strongest, those with special inheritances, and other human evolvers.


    Ultimately, he was ranked seventh.


    In fact, the Insect Race divination masters were unaware that the martial arts evolution path was created by Lin Yuan.


    Strongest one Xia Qin knew about this and directly stated that Lin Yuan''s talent could be ranked in the top twenty or top ten in the history of human civilization.


    This is a historical ranking of humans, whereas the Insect Race list is only for this generation under ten thousand years old.


    The two are notparable at all.


    If the Insect Race knew about Xia Qin''s evaluation of Lin Yuan, they might break the truce again and use higher-level means to kill Lin Yuan.


    A human genius ranked seventh in the current generation has little chance of bing the strongest.


    But a genius ranked in the top twenty or top ten in human history has a much greater chance of bing the strongest.


    Human civilization does not allow other pinnacle races to have an additional strongest, and the Insect Race do not want human civilization to have an additional strongest either.


    In fact, even Strongest one Xia Qin underestimated Lin Yuan''s talent.


    In Xia Qin''s view, Lin Yuan obtained an inheritance from a force outside the main world, which is how he knew about Devil Jade Tower.


    That inheritance from outside the main world must include a lot of cultivation resources and encounters.


    This is what made Lin Yuan what he is today.


    But in reality, from the time Lin Yuan became an evolver to before he took charge of the Milky Way Star Domain, apart from the Gate of the Myriad Realms, he never had any unknown encounters.


    "This assassination, I want you topletely kill the Milky Way Star Lord, so he cannot be resurrected."


    The Hive''s shadow sent out a mental wave.


    "Cannot be resurrected?"


    "Completely kill?"


    The five invincible rank-eight individuals looked at each other.


    Their expressions showed helplessness.


    Given Lin Yuan''s identity and strength, it''s highly likely that the one stationed on the main star of the Milky Way is a clone.


    The true body is probably in an extremely safe ce.


    Even if they join forces, the Milky Way Star Lord won''t be able to resist, but topletely kill him, including his true body, is almost impossible.


    No matter what, Lin Yuan is also rank-eight, on the same level as these invincible rank-eight individuals.


    Some special methods, like curse killing, won''t work at all.


    Complete killing is impossible.


    Not to mention making sure he can''t be resurrected.


    "Rest assured."


    The Hive''s shadow moved its mind slightly.


    A cubic container appeared.


    The cube was transparent, with mist swirling inside.


    "This is the Poison of Memory."


    "You five, join forces to control the Milky Way Star Lord''s clone and inject this Poison of Memory into him."


    "Then you don''t need to worry about anything else."


    The Hive''s shadow sent out a mental wave.


    "Poison of Memory?"


    The five invincible rank-eight individuals were immediately startled.


    The Poison of Memory is a very special rare item that can destroy and distort a creature on the memory level.


    As everyone knows, with the clone technique, the true body and the clone share memories. If the clone is injected with the Poison of Memory, then the true body''s memories will also be polluted and distorted.


    At that time, even if the strongest intervene and reverse the flow of time to resurrect him, it will be meaningless.


    The principle of resurrection is that the strongest use the time rules to reverse time and pull the deceased from the past to the present.


    Thus achieving ''resurrection''.


    But no matter which time period is returned to, the moment the deceased is resurrected, they will sync with the universe and receive all their memories up to their moment of death.


    This means that even if the strongest go back to a time before the memory was polluted, when the resurrected person syncs with the universe, their memories will still be polluted again.


    "To deal with a mere human rank-eight, even a super genius, using the Poison of Memory¡­"


    An invincible rank-eight muttered.


    The Poison of Memory is extremely precious, requiring the strongest to put in effort and pay a price to create it.


    Even with the Insect Race''s resources, they likely don''t have much of the Poison of Memory.


    "As long as one is in the top ten of the list our n created, they qualify to use the Poison of Memory."


    The Hive''s shadow said.


    "However, given the Milky Way Star Lord''s potential, he must have a life-saving item. You five must go all out and not give him any chance."


    The Hive''s shadow reminded them.


    The Poison of Memory is indeed terrifying, but it only targets memories.


    Any other power, even a trace, can destroy the Poison of Memory.


    Therefore, only if the five invincible rank-eight individualspletely subdue the Milky Way Star Lord, cutting off all resistance, can they use the Poison of Memory.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    Lin Yuan entered his inner world.


    "The Heart of Thunder."


    Lin Yuan slowly integrated the eight-rank top-grade cosmic treasure he acquired for twelve thousand universe crystals into his inner world.


    Whoosh.


    Strands of purple lightning began to fill the vast inner world, spanning over two million miles.


    The purple lightning was filled with destructive intent, yet also brimmed with vibrant life, making the entire inner world suddenly feel much more real.


    "Worthy of the Heart of Thunder."


    Lin Yuan felt the changes in his inner world.


    A look of satisfaction appeared on his face.


    Even among cosmic treasures, there are significant differences.


    Cosmic treasures like the Heart of Thunder clearly surpass those like the Primal Fire.


    This can be seen from their value.


    "My current strength should be in the first tier below invincible rank-eight." Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    "But still, the Yin rule is a bit behind in understanding."


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged in his inner world, his thoughts churning.


    Since the fourth rank, Lin Yuan has beenprehending the Yin and Yang rules.


    In the fifth, sixth, seventh, and now the eighth rank, the Yang rule has always been far ahead.


    Furthermore, the Yin and Yang rules forming Tai Chi areplementary, so even if his understanding of the Yin rule is slightly weaker, it has little impact on Lin Yuan.


    This led to Lin Yuan''s understanding of the Yin rulegging behind the Yang rule significantly.


    Even after fullyprehending the Yang rule, the conversion between Yin and Yang through Tai Chi still couldn''t quickly grasp the Yin rule.


    "No rush."


    "I can feel it''s close."


    "Soon, within a few years, maybe a decade."


    Lin Yuan knew.


    Other evolvers need to break through countless bottlenecks toprehend the Yin rule.


    But he has the Yang rule conversion, facing almost no bottlenecks, making it smooth sailing.


    "Divine Sealing Bead."


    Lin Yuan nced at the life-saving item given by Xia Qin.


    The Divine Sealing Bead guards the mind and will, epassing one''s memories. Xia Qin''s intention was that even if the strongest attacked, the Divine Sealing Bead could block them for an instant, giving Lin Yuan a chance to self-destruct.


    But it doesn''t mean the Divine Sealing Bead only activates when the strongest attacks.


    Any threat to Lin Yuan''s mind, will, or memory would be blocked by the Divine Sealing Bead.


    Of course, heart demons during tribtions are not included.


    Milky Way Main Star Pce.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, red mes burning wildly within him.


    It''s unknown how much time passed.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes.


    "My body hasn''t copsed?"


    ording to the information from the mysterious gourd.


    The prerequisite for fully absorbing the liquid from the gourd is that the body must remain intact until the end.


    Many times before, Lin Yuan''s body constantly turned to dust, finally relying on the "Blood Rebirth" ability to return.


    But now.


    Lin Yuan''s body held up.


    "Indeed, a 3.33 times enhancement."


    Lin Yuan carefully sensed his body and inner world, drawing a conclusion.


    Now, his inner world was vast, nearly 2.7 million miles in circumference.


    This was because, during this period, Lin Yuanprehended more space models, leading to the basic size of his inner world exceeding 800,000 miles.


    Then it expanded by 3.33 times, resulting in the current nearly 2.7 million miles size.


    "I can now crush ordinary rank-eight peaks with just my inner world."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    The normal inner world of a rank-eight peak is about 400,000 miles in circumference.


    400,000 miles?


    2.7 million miles?


    Not just crushing.


    "Continue."


    "Let''s see the orange liquid."


    Lin Yuan''s eyes brightened as he looked at the gray-red gourd before him.


    The gray-red gourd can condense seven kinds of liquid, divided by color into red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple.


    Lin Yuan hadpletely absorbed the red liquid.


    Next, it was the turn of the orange liquid.


    Thinking of this, Lin Yuan immediately reached out, holding the gray-red gourd, and tilted the spout down.


    Perhaps because Lin Yuan''s right hand touched it, the originally gray-red gourd slowly changed.


    The red faded, reced by yellow.


    Gray-yellow gourd.


    Drip.


    An orange liquid gathered at the spout.


    "Beautiful."


    Lin Yuan watched the orange liquid, feeling like it was a miniature universe.


    After observing for a while.


    Lin Yuan directly swallowed the orange liquid.


    Rumble.


    The orange liquid turned into mes, quickly spreading throughout Lin Yuan''s body.


    Hiss.


    In an instant, Lin Yuan''s body turned to ashes.


    After several breaths.


    The "Blood Rebirth" ability activated, and Lin Yuan returned from the ashes.


    "This?"


    Lin Yuan was confused.


    "The enhancement is too great for me to handle?"


    After thinking for a while, Lin Yuan came to a conclusion.


    "It seems I need at least a five-million-mile inner world to withstand the enhancement from the orange liquid?"


    Lin Yuan thought.


    Unlike the enhancement fromprehending space rules.


    The liquid from the mysterious gourd forcibly enhances, breaking some limits to do so.


    Therefore, the progress cannot be too fast.


    Lin Yuan must have a sufficient foundation to bear the enhancement.


    "A five-million-mile inner world isn''t difficult for me."


    Outside the Milky Way Main Star.


    Five figures were hidden in the depths of space.


    "This has undergone B-level transformation. Even if we take action, it can block for a few breaths."


    The leading invincible rank-eight said.


    These few breaths might alert the Milky Way Star Lord, causing him to self-destruct his clone.


    If that happens, their mission will fail.


    Though they won''t be punished by the Insect Race, the rewards will certainly have nothing to do with them.


    "What do we do now?"


    The second invincible rank-eight frowned, The Milky Way Star Lord is inside the, though billions of miles away, for invincible rank-eight, it''s like being right next door.


    Of course, the B-level transformation of the Milky Way Main Star can block teleportation. They can only teleport outside the.


    "Wait."


    "Wait for the Milky Way Star Lord toe out on his own."


    The leading invincible rank-eight continued: "We only have one chance. If the Milky Way Star Lord senses something is wrong, it''s over."


    Hearing this.


    The four invincible rank-eight slightly nodded.


    The Milky Way Star Lord''s strength isn''t as great as any of them.


    But the Milky Way Star Lord doesn''t need to fight them, just sessfully self-destructing his clone would leave them helpless.


    Although the Milky Way Star Lord is young, he isn''t foolish. Realizing that five invincible rank-eight are ambushing him, he would deduce they have a means to affect his true body.


    If it were only to kill a clone, why deploy five invincible rank-eight?


    Even on the frontier, deploying invincible rank-eight is far less costly than in the human civilization hearnd.


    In the frontier, invincible rank-eight can retreat safely after an assassination.


    But in the human civilization hearnd, even rank-nine experts are doomed if their presence is exposed.


    But what status do invincible rank-eight have? Deploying five at once? Even pinnacle races wouldn''t waste resources this way. The only possibility is to kill both clone and true body.


    "Yes, we only have one chance."


    "We must seize it."


    The five invincible rank-eight exchanged nces.


    They began to wait patiently.


    As long as the Milky Way Star Lord doesn''t realize they''re ambushing him.


    Eventually, he''lle out.


    Then, their opportunity wille.


    Thinking this, the five invincible rank-eight felt slightly heated inside.


    If the mission seeds, the Insect Race rewards might help them take the next step.


    Thus.


    The five invincible rank-eight waited outside the Milky Way Main Star for ten years.

 Chapter 248

    Chapter 248


    Outside the Milky Way Main Star.


    Five aliens merged into the depths of space.


    As invincible rank-eight individuals, they hadprehended five to six thousand core space models.


    They could easily merge intoyers of space.


    The space of the main world is vast and boundless, with countlessyers.


    Many secret realms are hidden within theseyers, remaining undiscovered for tens of thousands of years.


    "What is this Milky Way Star Lord doing? He hasn''te out for ten fucking years!" The five invincible rank-eight aliens were puzzled.


    For rank-eight powerhouses, closing themselves off for decades or even centuries is not unusual, but the Milky Way Star Lord had just taken over the Milky Way Star Domain. Normally, he would need to move around within the star domain frequently.


    What kind of new star lord stays hidden in the main star without showing up? Certainly, as a star lord, he wouldn''t handle everything personally, but he should at least make an appearance."It doesn''t matter."


    "We just need to wait."


    "If ten years isn''t enough, we''ll wait fifty years."


    "If fifty years isn''t enough, we''ll wait five hundred years."


    The leading invincible rank-eight spoke. It came from the powerful Dark Lin n and was named Sara.


    The Dark Lin n is a member of the Insect Race Alliance, and the other four invincible rank-eight also came from several major alien races in the Insect Race Alliance.


    The Insect Race itself doesn''t have the concept of invincible rank-eight. Each Insect Race mother nest can produce countless warriors. As long as there are enough rank-eight insect warriors, even invincible rank-eight would be fearful.


    Therefore¡ª


    The strength of an Insect Race mother nest is measured by its rank and how many ranked insect warriors it can produce.


    An eighth-rank Insect Race mother nest is the strongest existence among the eighth rank. Given enough time and resources, it can continuously produce eighth-rank insect warriors.


    Even if these insect warriors don''t have basic ruleprehension, their sheer numbers can lead to qualitative changes, allowing them to sweep through everything.


    This is the ''insect sea tactic'' with which the Insect Race sweeps through the universe.


    "Yes."


    "It''s just a matter of time."


    "For us, even if we wait for thousands of years, what does it matter?"


    The third invincible rank-eight spoke. They also desired to reach rank-nine, but facing the threshold of rule fusion, closing themselves off for cultivation was useless.


    Rule fusion, especially involving certain pir rules, requires not only enough background but also a critical ''sh of insight.''


    "Wait for thousands of years?"


    The fourth invincible rank-eight frowned slightly, sensing something wrong.


    "This Milky Way Star Lord, with such terrifying talent and being ranked seventh on the listpiled by the Insect Race, if we let him cultivate for thousands of years, he might reach rank-nine, or at least be invincible rank-eight."


    This invincible rank-eight spoke with concern.


    Hearing this.


    The other four invincible rank-eight immediately fell silent.


    If it were any other evolver, saying they couldprehend some cosmic power within thousands of years and be invincible rank-eight, they would scoff.


    Is cosmic power that easy toprehend?


    As invincible rank-eight, they knew the difficulty ofprehending cosmic power, having gone through countless life-and-death situations and countless opportunities.


    No matter how talented or monstrous one is, can theyprehend cosmic power just by sitting still?


    But if it''s the Milky Way Star Lord?


    The Milky Way Star Lord has performed enough miracles.


    If he closed himself off for hundreds or thousands of years andprehended some cosmic power, it''s indeed possible.


    "Now we have no choice."


    Sara of the Dark Lin n spoke: "We only have one chance. If the Milky Way Star Lord stays hidden on the main star, we can only wait."


    "If we wait for thousands of years and the Milky Way Star Lord trulyprehends some cosmic power, then the Insect Race''s mission is considered a failure."


    Among invincible rank-eight, there are strong and weak, but the difference isn''trge. When two invincible rank-eight fight, it usually ends in a stalemate. Under normal circumstances, it''s difficult for one to defeat the other.


    This is why powerhouses at this level are called ''invincible rank-eight.''


    Even if several invincible rank-eight besiege one invincible rank-eight, thetter can easily retreat.


    So.


    In Sara''s view, if the Milky Way Star Lord can trulyprehend some cosmic power and be invincible rank-eight, their assassination mission would be considered a failure.


    The Poison of Memory only targets the mind and memory, requiring the Milky Way Star Lord to lose all resistance for it to be effective.


    Even a rank-nine powerhouse would find it difficult to make an invincible rank-eight lose all resistance, let alone them.


    Of course, in the view of these invincible rank-eight, the Milky Way Star Lord bing invincible rank-eight is only hopeful, not certain.


    They still have a good chance of sess while waiting outside the main star.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    In the pce, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    "The talent I show is reaching rank-eight before a hundred years old and an incredible growth speed."


    Lin Yuan thought silently.


    "Before I took this position, my teacher warned me that the Insect Race might assassinate me."


    Lin Yuan nced in the direction of the starry sky.


    He spent 100,000 universe crystals to upgrade the main star to B-level, not only because it''s the economic and political center of the star domain, but also to make hisir impregnable.


    A B-level modification can easily suppress most rank-eight powerhouses, with incredible defensive strength. Even a rank-nine powerhouse would take a moment to break through.


    If invincible rank-eight attack, even a group of them can be held off for several breaths.


    For a powerhouse, even a fraction of a second can mean a lot, Lin Yuan can self-destruct his true body to avoid direct confrontation with a rank-nine powerhouse.


    Furthermore, Lin Yuan doesn''t believe the Insect Race would send rank-nine power to assassinate him.


    Sending rank-ninebat power would mean tearing up the truce with human civilization.


    If the benefits are significant enough, the Insect Race wouldn''t mind doing it, but with Lin Yuan''s current talent, he''s far from worth that.


    So.


    Lin Yuan mainly guards against invincible rank-eight assassinations.


    Facing invincible rank-eight, Lin Yuan only needs to stay in the main star.


    When Lin Yuan first arrived in the Milky Way Star Domain, he quickly cleared the biggest instability factor in the star domain.


    This was to reduce the frequency of his outings.


    "In human civilization, evolvers reaching rank-eight must guard the frontier star domain. This is tradition, a rule, and even the offspring of the strongest are no exception."


    Lin Yuan thought.


    Evolvers below rank-eight are protected and invested in by human civilization.


    Upon reaching rank-eight, they must give back and guard the frontier star domain, which isn''t very dangerous.


    Geniuses like Lin Yuan, who may be targeted by alien assassins, are usually given many life-saving cards before going to the frontier star domain.


    The Divine Sealing Bead given to Lin Yuan by Xia Qin is such a card. Even if an alien strongest attacks, it can give Lin Yuan a chance for resurrection.


    Of course, if an evolver makes a significant contribution to human civilization, such as bing an evolution schr or nearing that level, they can apply to be exempt from guarding the frontier star domain.


    However, this is extremely rare.


    Given Lin Yuan''s potential, he could actually apply for exemption.


    But if new rank-eight evolvers go to the frontier star domain while Lin Yuan does not, it''s like announcing to the aliens that the Milky Way Star Lord has a bigger secret.


    In that case, even hiding in the human civilization hearnd wouldn''t be absolutely safe.


    "These ten years¡­"


    Lin Yuan thought, a smile appearing on his face.


    The past ten years in the main world saw Lin Yuan making great progress in all aspects.


    Firstly, in ruleprehension, Lin Yuan hasprehended 2,932 core space models.


    It should be noted that ten years ago, Lin Yuan''sprehension of core space models was just over 2,000.


    Over ten years, Lin Yuanprehended 932 core space models.


    These 932 core space models were far more difficult than the initial 900.


    Of the 7,782 core space models, the further theprehension, the greater the difficulty, increasing geometrically.


    Comprehending the 2,000th core space model is far harder than the first.


    Thus, the further the space modelprehension, the greater the expansion of the inner world.


    The 2,932 core space models elevated Lin Yuan''s inner world to two million miles in circumference.


    This two million miles is the normal inner world size.


    With the enhancement of the red liquid, Lin Yuan''s inner world reached 6.66 million miles in circumference.


    After the enhancement of the orange liquid, Lin Yuan''s inner world size has exceeded ten million miles.


    "Orange liquid¡­"


    Lin Yuan took out the mysterious gourd. The gourd had turned gray-yellow, emitting a mysterious aura.


    Whether it''s the initial red liquid or the orange liquid, the enhancements to the body and inner world are foundational.


    Compared to the red liquid, Lin Yuan''s absorption of the orange liquid was much slower, and after ten years, he had only absorbed half of it.


    "My current foundational enhancement is about five times."


    Lin Yuan estimated.


    The red liquid''s enhancement was 3.33 times, and the orange-yellow liquid''s was nearly twice that.


    Thetter wasn''t as effective as the former because Lin Yuan hadn''t fully absorbed the orange-yellow liquid.


    Theoretically, if Lin Yuanpletely absorbed the orange-yellow liquid, the enhancement would reach 6.66 times.


    "So terrifying¡­"


    Even after more than a decade, Lin Yuan was still shocked by the mysterious gourd''s effects.


    These are foundational enhancements, not ordinary additions. Now, Lin Yuan''s inner world size reached ten million miles.


    A ten million miles inner world.


    That''s the limit for human evolvers, achievable only byprehending theplete space rules at rank-eight.


    Butprehending theplete space rules at rank-eight is almost impossible; some rank-nine powerhouses haven''t even done it.


    Yet Lin Yuan, in some ways, had achieved it.


    Although he hadn''tprehended theplete space rules, he had one of its greatest benefits.


    A ten million miles inner world.


    And this ten million miles inner world isn''t Lin Yuan''s limit; he can still expand it significantly.


    "With a ten million miles inner world, my currentbat power is almost on par with invincible rank-eight."


    Lin Yuan assessed himself.


    He estimated that with an inner world reaching tens of millions of miles, even withoutprehending cosmic power, he could match invincible rank-eight.


    With an inner world reaching hundreds of millions of miles, he could crush invincible rank-eight.


    Throughout history, invincible rank-eight have been unbeaten at the rank-eight level; this is their myth.


    But if Lin Yuan continues to cultivate, he can break this myth.


    "Unfortunately, the Yin rule is still slightly behind."


    Lin Yuan sighed. Over the past ten years, part of his energy was spent on absorbing the orange liquid andprehending space rules.


    This dyed hisprehension of the Yin rule.


    Even so, Lin Yuan felt he was close. Even if he did nothing, the Yin rule would be naturallyprehended in two to three years.


    This is the essence of the Tao of Tai Chi, theplementary nature of Yin and Yang.


    When one side improves, the other naturally follows.


    "Thirty-six threads of Breaking Boundary Source Power¡­"


    Lin Yuan''s mind focused on the towering and magnificent Gate of Myriad Realms.


    Ten years ago, Lin Yuan had only seventeen threads of Breaking Realm Power; now, it had increased to thirty-six.


    "The Milky Way Star Domain is stable and doesn''t need my intervention, so I can proceed with the eighth transmigration."


    Lin Yuan thought.


    However, he was still undecided on how to choose the eighth transmigration.


    "Hm?"


    Lin Yuan''s gaze shifted to a direction on the main star.


    There was a mountain peak where Ruan Wei, an eighth-rank evolver who had voluntarilye to follow Lin Yuan ten years ago, resided.


    At this moment, Ruan Wei stood on the mountain top, with the surrounding space slightly distorted, clearlyprehending core space models.


    "Wrong."


    "Your direction is wrong."


    Lin Yuan immediately saw Ruan Wei''s problem.


    Space rules are vast and infinite. The 7,782 core space models summarized by the predecessors of human civilization only exin certain aspects of space rules.


    Each person''sprehension of core space models may differ.


    "Well then."


    Lin Yuan thought for a moment and disappeared from the pce.


    "What is space? What exactly is space?"


    Ruan Wei''s brow was tightly knit, her aura bing unstable.


    At this moment.


    Lin Yuan appeared.


    He touched Ruan Wei''s forehead with a finger.


    In an instant, the surrounding space fluctuations gradually disappeared, and the unstable aura in Ruan Wei''s body gradually stabilized.


    "Star Lord."


    Ruan Wei woke up and immediately saluted Lin Yuan.


    "Space is everything."


    Lin Yuan shook his head and said.


    Havingprehended nearly 3,000 core space models, Lin Yuan was fully qualified to correct Ruan Wei''s wrong path.


    "Space is everything?"


    Ruan Wei looked slightly confused.


    "Space epasses everything. The space you see is just a tiny part. The universe,yer uponyer of space, is almost endless."


    "Whenprehending space rules, never concretize space, or you''ll easily go astray."


    Lin Yuan reminded.


    Evolversprehending space rules are like blind men feeling an elephant, without specific guidelines. If they grasp an elephant''s leg and think space is the leg, it''s a big mistake.


    "Thank you, Star Lord."


    Ruan Wei was touched, immediately bowing excitedly.


    She had been trying to perceive the space rules, attempting to visualize what space looked like, not knowing she made a big mistake.


    If she had concretized the space''s image, she would find it challenging to advance in space rules.


    Lin Yuan''s casual reminder undoubtedly brought Ruan Wei back to the broadest path.


    This is why many evolvers are willing to follow strong individuals. Often, a word from a strong person can guide them out of a dead end.


    A single sentence can change a lifetime.

 Chapter 249

    Chapter 249


    Pointing out Ruan Wei''s mistake was an effortless act for Lin Yuan.


    For more than ten years, Ruan Wei had been running around for the affairs of the Milky Way Star Domain.


    Lin Yuan saw all of this. Now that he noticed Ruan Wei going astray, he didn''t mind pulling her back.


    After all, for Lin Yuan, it was just a matter of a few words, with no cost to himself.


    Just as he was tired from cultivation, it was a simple effort.


    After wandering outside for a while, Lin Yuan returned to the pce once again.


    Buzz.


    Lin Yuan connected his consciousness to the virtual world and arrived at the top of a mountain.


    Under the sky, that piece of body still existed, as if it had not changed for eternity."Continue toprehend."


    Lin Yuan nced around. Many evolvers began to try not to cultivate but toprehend more evolutionary paths.


    But this group of evolvers was very few. They had to bear enormous mental pressure while trying toprehend various evolutionary paths.


    Even though Lin Yuan possessed Unrivaled Insight, it took him quite a long time to achieve this back then. It was not impossible for other talented evolvers to follow this path.


    However, it was a matter for the distant future.


    This was also the reason why Lin Yuan informed the Goddess of Wisdom about thisprehension method and only received 1.5 million merit points in the end.


    It was too difficult, like handing a blueprint for a nuclear nt to an emperor during the feudal era.


    To be honest, Lin Yuan still felt that choosing a specific evolutionary path, perfecting andpensating it to the final stage to be a regr member of the Devil Jade Tower, was more reliable.


    "This evolutionary path''s life rules have such an aspect? Wonderful, wonderful!"


    Lin Yuan continued toprehend, analyzing and absorbing the beneficial parts afterprehending an evolutionary path.


    In ten years, Lin Yuan hadprehended more than twenty thousand evolutionary paths from this piece of the body, each bringing him considerable benefit.


    "Just a part of the body contains almost countless evolutionary paths. Is this what it means to be the Strongest one?"


    "I wonder when I, Lin Yuan, will be such an existence?"


    In the continuous process ofprehension, Lin Yuan vaguely felt the height at which the Strongest one stood.


    It was incredible.


    What kind of scenery would it be to master an ultimate path, an eternal existence, which even time couldn''t erode?


    Lin Yuan had also seen Xia Qin, the Strongest one, but the other party did not release any useful aura.


    Lin Yuan did notprehend anything from it.


    "This piece of body is just a projection through the virtual world. The real body''s influence on the outside world is very sinister."


    Lin Yuan thought as he continued toprehend.


    "How many evolutionary paths must beprehended to be the next stage member of the Devil Jade Tower? I haveprehended more than twenty thousand paths now and still haven''t triggered it. Could it be necessary toprehend thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three paths?"


    Lin Yuan slightly narrowed his eyes.


    Comprehending three thousand three hundred and thirty-three evolutionary paths automatically made one a regr member of the Devil Jade Tower.


    Currently, havingprehended more than twenty thousand evolutionary paths, Lin Yuan had reason to specte that the next stage member of the Devil Jade Tower requiredprehending thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three paths.


    Thirty thousand evolutionary paths, though ten times more than three thousand three hundred and thirty-three paths, the difficulty definitely increased exponentially.


    Lin Yuan even suspected that being a regr member of the Devil Jade Tower was already the limit, and there was no next stage member rank at all.


    "Whatever."


    "Whether it''s thirty thousand or three hundred thousand."


    "As long as it helps me, I will continue toprehend."


    Lin Yuan focused his thoughts and entered a deep state ofprehension.


    In the virtual world of Cann Star.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared, with his parents and sister already sitting there.


    "Little Yuan."


    His mother, Lin Qiong, greeted him with a smile.


    "Brother." His sister, Lin Yi, looked full of admiration.


    Ten years had passed, and Lin Yi had grown up. With the help of Lin Yuan, she hade into contact with many things in the upper echelons of human civilization.


    Because of this, Lin Yi realized what kind of existence her brother was.


    He was a super geniuspeting with the descendants of the Strongest ones, a shining star in the entire human civilization alliance.


    Due to Lin Yuan, the insignificant medium life Cann Star had be a hot spot in the Red Kun Star Domain and even the Annan Star Alliance.


    Many major powers and families from various star domains sent their people to Cann Star to reproduce.


    Since Cann Star could produce a super genius like Lin Yuan, it must have something special. Otherwise, why hadn''t higher lifes produced a super genius like Lin Yuan?


    For this reason, the most popr industry on Cann Star turned out to be the reproduction industry.


    Having their descendants born on Cann Star, even if there was only a one in a billion chance, was worth it if they could have a descendant with a fraction of Lin Yuan''s talent.


    "How''s your cultivation recently?"


    Lin Yuan casually chatted with his parents.


    After reaching the eighth rank, Lin Yuan began to pay attention to his parents and sister''s cultivation.


    He even asionally offered guidance.


    The purpose of doing this was naturally to hope his parents and sister could live longer.


    Human civilization had advanced technology. Even without bing evolvers, there were many ways to extend life.


    But among all life-extending methods, the most perfect and risk-free was still the path of evolution.


    That is, bing an evolver.


    "Our talent might not be very good. The analysis videos you gave us, Little Yuan, take us a long time toprehend."


    Father Lin Shoucheng shook his head.


    At first, he was ambitious about the path of evolution, thinking that since he could father a super genius like Lin Yuan, the Lin family genes should be pretty good?


    But when he really stepped onto the path of evolution, he was undoubtedly dealt a fatal blow.


    Seeing that Lin Qiong was also struggling in cultivation, Lin Shoucheng inexplicably felt a slight relief.


    "We still have to try harder."


    Lin Yuan said.


    Unless it was absolutely necessary, Lin Yuan would not let his parents undergo those life-extending modifications.


    "We will definitely try hard."


    "We will work hard."


    Lin Shoucheng nodded. Who wouldn''t want to be a powerful evolver roaming the stars?


    Now that their son was a Star Lord, their cultivation conditions made many evolvers envious. Naturally, they would work hard in their cultivation.


    "Little Yuan, you should also rest more."


    "Don''t work too hard. The border star domains are also dangerous."


    After chatting for a while, Lin Qiong expressed her concern.


    "Yes, Little Yuan, do you really have to go to the border star domain?"


    Lin Shoucheng muttered.


    He still hoped his son would stay in the Red Kun Star Domain.


    The border star domains were so dangerous. Those brutal alien races...


    "It''s a must."


    Lin Yuan smiled and nodded.


    In fact, with Lin Yuan''s current status, especially as the founder of Martial Dao, he was eligible to apply for exemption from the task of guarding the border star domain.


    Although the Martial Dao evolutionary path was currently seventh-rank, its potential evaluation had surpassed some eighth-rank evolutionary paths.


    Lin Yuan was not an evolution schr, but he was even better than one.


    If he really applied to the Goddess of Wisdom, it would definitely be approved.


    But that would be too conspicuous.


    Lin Yuan obediently going to guard the border star domain might at most face eighth-rank invincible alien assassins.


    But if Lin Yuan did not go, who knows what might happen? The top divination masters of the alien races would likely catch some clues from the details.


    At that time, Lin Yuan would probably face an even more dangerous situation.


    Even the Red Kun Star Lord might not be able to protect him.


    After chatting with his parents for a while,


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness returned to reality.


    "The Gate of Myriad Realms."


    Lin Yuan''s mind sank deep into his consciousness again.


    He looked at the majestic Gate of Myriad Realms.


    "Actually, after reaching the eighth rank, the Gate of Myriad Realms is not without change."


    Lin Yuan carefully observed the Gate of Myriad Realms. At the eighth rank, his mental will had greatly improved.


    He faintly felt that even if he traveled, descending into other dimensions and worlds, he could still establish a connection with the main world through the Gate of Myriad Realms, perceiving everything happening around his physical body in real-time.


    This was simr to how Lin Yuan could receive information from the Primordial Demon Tree in the Azure World through the coordinates.


    If relying on Lin Yuan alone, it would be impossible to sense the other side across dimensions.


    Not even the Strongest ones could do that.


    But with the Gate of Myriad Realms as a ''medium,'' it could be achieved.


    "This is good."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    During the transmigration, being able to sense everything around his physical body in the main world was definitely a good thing for him.


    In low-level worlds, the time flow was huge, with decades passing there while only a few minutes passed in the main world.


    But as the number of transmigrations increased, the world levels Lin Yuan descended into became higher, and the time flow rate gap with the main world gradually narrowed.


    This made the transmigration duration increasingly long. If a crisis urred in the main world during Lin Yuan''s transmigration, he would be powerless to resist.


    But being able to sense the surroundings of his physical body allowed Lin Yuan to make choices.


    If a significant crisis urred in the main world that might damage his physical body, Lin Yuan would definitely forcefully end the transmigration and return his mental will to his body.


    Compared to the loss of a transmigration, Lin Yuan valued his physical body more.


    Not to mention how much Lin Yuan had invested in this physical body, the fact that it served as the ndmark'' for his mental will''s return made it uneptable for Lin Yuan to let anything happen to it.


    "I wonder if I can take the gourd for transmigration."


    Lin Yuan had a thought and began tomunicate with the Gate of Myriad Realms.


    The Gate of Myriad Realms could carry the physical body for transmigration, naturally allowing the transportation of items.


    It was just a matter of how much breaking boundary source power it would consume.


    During his seventh transmigration, Lin Yuan brought primordial essence gold to the Azure World and ced it in the world''s essence, saving him hundreds of years.


    The gourd was also an external object, theoretically able to be taken into the transmigrated world.


    "Hmm, it''s possible, just a wisp of breaking boundary source power?"


    Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He didn''t doubt whether he could take the gourd into the transmigrated world, but he worried that the Gate of Myriad Realms would demand arge amount of source power, like ten or dozens of wisps.


    "A wisp of breaking boundary source power it is."


    Lin Yuan smiled slightly. Now, his reserve of breaking boundary source power was close to forty wisps, making him quite wealthy.


    "All matters are almost handled."


    "Time for the eighth transmigration."


    Lin Yuan focused his thoughts and made up his mind.


    Each transmigration significantly boosted his strength.


    Being in the border star domain, Lin Yuan felt the need for urgent strength improvement.


    "Which transmigration method to choose?"


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    Firstly, the random transmigration method was somewhat unstable for him now, better avoided if possible.


    Excluding random transmigration, only targeted transmigration remained.


    Targeted transmigration had two options: the first was to spend a hundred wisps of breaking boundary source power to choose a world for transmigration ording to his requirements.


    The one hundred wisps of source power were just the starting point. If the chosen world''s level was too high, the consumption would be even greater.


    The second option was to spend ten wisps of source power to descend into a world for which he had coordinates.


    Currently, among the world coordinates Lin Yuan had, only two were worth revisiting.


    One was the Azure World.


    The other was the Spirit Realm.


    The Azure World was the seventh transmigration world, its boundless void still unexplored.


    The Spirit Realm, on the other hand, was the ''upper world'' of the Immortal World.


    "This time, let''s go to the Spirit Realm."


    Lin Yuan made up his mind. The Immortal Dao cultivation system significantly helped the Martial Dao evolutionary path, andpared to the void filled with outer evil gods, the Immortal Dao system offered greater benefits.


    With this thought, Lin Yuan split a part of his mind, merging the Spirit World''s coordinate at the base of the Gate of Myriad Realms.


    Through the Gate of Myriad Realms, Lin Yuan arrived outside an incredibly vast world.


    This world was very familiar to Lin Yuan. During his time in the Immortal World, he had repeatedly broken through the void, looking up at this giant.


    Butpared to the vague view back then, the current scene was much clearer, with the overwhelming world force seeming to crush everything.


    "Are those the millions of lower worlds under the Spirit Realm?"


    Lin Yuan looked down and found countless light spots, estimated to be lower worlds simr to the Immortal World.


    It was said there were more than a million such lower worlds.


    "Hmm?"


    "Above?"


    After observing the Spirit Realm, Lin Yuan instinctively looked up.


    Sure enough, he found a corner of an even vaster world.


    "There''s another world?"


    "Is it the real legendary Immortal Realm?"


    Lin Yuan was startled. In the various secret books of the Daoist Immortal Sect in the Immortal World, there was mention of a world above the Spirit Realm.


    "Let''s go with the Spirit Realm."


    Lin Yuan''s thought shattered.


    Outside the Gate of Myriad Realms.


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness opened his eyes again.


    "Immortal Realm?"


    "Could that be the ultimate ce of the Immortal Dao cultivation system?"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. He didn''t know much about the Immortal Realm. To be precise, the Daoist Immortal Sect didn''t have much record of the Immortal Realm.


    If it weren''t for the asional visits andmunications from Immortals of the Daoist Immortal Sect, there probably wouldn''t be any record of the Immortal Realm.


    "This time in the Spirit Realm willst about nine hundred years."


    "With the time flow rate, it''s roughly several hundred to one. After staying the full duration, only one or two years will have passed in the main world."


    Lin Yuan had a rough idea.


    "Let''s begin."


    Lin Yuanmunicated with the Gate of Myriad Realms without hesitation, activating the Spirit Realm coordinate, and his mental will surged into the Gate of Myriad Realms.

 Chapter 250

    Chapter 250


    Confused and disoriented.


    When Lin Yuan''s consciousness awakened, he found himself lying on a bed.


    "I''m human." Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.


    With the experience of his sixth transmigration, Lin Yuan realized¡ª


    The body he transmigrated into might not necessarily be human; it could be of another race.


    Although other forms of life aren''t necessarily bad, a human body provided Lin Yuan with more opportunities.


    If he had transmigrated into certain special life forms, he might not have been able to practice martial arts.


    "My current situation..."


    Lin Yuan began to browse through the memories of his ''original body.''He had sessfully descended into the Spirit Realm and was currently in Xiaoyao City, Xuan King Domain, Dongyun State.


    "Dongyun State, Xuan King Domain?"


    Information about the Spirit Realm emerged in Lin Yuan''s mind.


    It was all learned from the Daoist Immortal Sect. The Spirit Realm was vast and endless, with its most prosperous regionprising three thousand Dao States.


    Dongyun Dao State was one of these three thousand Dao States.


    Dongyun Dao State epassed more than twenty thousandrge domains, with Xuan King Domain being one of them.


    "Xuan King Domain."


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    If he remembered correctly, the Daoist Immortal Sect was located in the Xuan King Domain and was one of the three major forces in this domain.


    "I didn''t expect this kind of beginning."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. The Daoist Immortal Sect here was naturally the force established by the true immortal ancestors of the Daoist Immortal Sect from the Immortal World.


    "Xiaoyao City."


    Lin Yuan''s expression turned strange. In the original body''s memories, Xiaoyao City was also known by another name¡ª


    Martial Ancestor City.


    It was a city designated by an important figure from the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    The numerous cultivators in Martial Ancestor City practiced not the Immortal Dao cultivation system but the Martial Dao cultivation system.


    "Martial Dao?"


    Lin Yuan was almost certain that the Martial Dao here was the same one he had spread in the Immortal World.


    In his deal with the Cangqing Immortal, Lin Yuan had proposed that if future Martial Dao practitioners in the Zhongtu World could reach the sixth rank, they could use the Ascension tform to ascend to the Spirit Realm.


    Now it seemed that the Cangqing Immortal had kept his promise.


    "At least hundreds of thousands of years have passed."


    Lin Yuan thought silently.


    After the sixth transmigration, he had undergone the seventh transmigration and cultivated in the main world for some time.


    Although it added up to less than thirty years,


    this was thirty years in the main world. With the significant time flow difference between the two worlds, at least hundreds of thousands of years had passed in the Immortal World.


    Otherwise, it wouldn''t have been possible for sixth-rank Martial Dao practitioners to emerge, ascend to the Spirit Realm, and establish Xiaoyao City.


    "Xiaoyao City... Martial Ancestor City."


    Lin Yuan''s expression turned strange. During the sixth transmigration, he had spread the Martial Dao and was known as the Ancestor of Martial Dao. His name was Jun Wuji.


    Lin Yuan guessed that this Xiaoyao City might have been established by the disciples he had epted back then.


    Otherwise, it wouldn''t be such a coincidence.


    "I wonder if I can still meet those old acquaintances." Lin Yuan''s thoughts wandered. ording to the arrangements he had made before leaving, his parents, elder brother, and second sister wouldn''t have difficulty reaching the sixth rank.


    They were likely to have ascended to the Spirit Realm too.


    But he didn''t know if they were still alive. Being only at the sixth rank, equivalent to the Void Refinement stage, they might not have survived for hundreds of thousands of years.


    "My current identity is that of the eldest young master of the Lin family, a somewhat notable family in Xiaoyao City."


    Lin Yuan sat up from the bed and took a deep breath.


    "Such abundant spiritual power."


    Lin Yuan was slightly amazed. There were no spiritual veins near Xiaoyao City. After all, most cultivators in the city practiced Martial Dao.


    The demand for spiritual veins wasn''t as critical as for Immortal Dao practitioners.


    But even so, the concentration of spiritual energy Lin Yuan felt was no less than that of the Daoist Immortal Mountain, which upied thergest spiritual vein in the Immortal World.


    "No wonder those ancient Void Refinement saints all longed to ascend to the Spirit Realm with such a cultivation environment..."


    Lin Yuan couldn''t help but shake his head.


    This was just Xiaoyao City. If he were in one of the sacred cultivation grounds, the concentration of spiritual energy would be even higher.


    It might even transform into a higher-level energy, known as ''Immortal Qi'' in the legends of the Immortal Realm.


    "Does this body also practice Martial Dao?" Lin Yuan carefully sensed his own body and concluded.


    To enter the Immortal Dao cultivation system, one must have spiritual roots. This was a rule.


    But even in the Spirit Realm, the majority of beings still didn''t have spiritual roots, and most of those who did had low-quality spiritual roots.


    Even if they barely entered the Qi Refinement stage, they would most likely stop at the Foundation Establishment stage.


    This gave Xiaoyao City its footing.


    The Martial Dao cultivation system didn''t require spiritual roots.


    As long as one had sufficient vitality, they could cultivate.


    This gave hope to arge number of ordinary people without spiritual roots.


    Even some cultivators with low-quality spiritual roots would switch to cultivating Martial Dao if they found they had talent in it.


    Overall, the Martial Dao cultivation system was still a rtively niche practice, mostly spreading within the Xuan King Domain. Outside of it, almost no one knew about it.


    This was understandable.


    Although the Martial Dao didn''t require spiritual roots, its upper limit was far below that of the Immortal Dao.


    Potential cultivators would certainly choose the Immortal Dao first. Only when they were sure they had no hope in the Immortal Dao would they consider Martial Dao.


    Who would practice martial arts if they could cultivate immortality?


    "Before I left, I left behind twelve paths to break through to the seventh rank of Martial Dao. These paths were not perfect and could hardlypete with the Dao Fusion stage of the Immortal Dao."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Currently, his seventh rank was the perfect seventh rank he had integrated and perfected in the main world.


    It was far superior to the twelve seventh-rank paths he left behind in the Immortal World.


    Even so, the seventh rank was the upper limit of Martial Dao. Compared to the infinitely potential Immortal Dao cultivation system, it was naturally far inferior.


    "Xiaoyao City is under the protection of the Daoist Immortal Sect. There are many families in the city, but the most powerful is still the ''Martial Temple.''"


    Lin Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly.


    The Martial Temple was a sacred ce in Xiaoyao City, said to be rted to the Martial Ancestor.


    When Xiaoyao City was first established, several seventh-rank Martial Dao practitioners joined forces to create the Martial Temple, promoting the Martial Dao cultivation system to this day.


    Without the Martial Temple as a foundation, constantly producing Martial Dao practitioners, the existence of the Martial Dao cultivation system would be uncertain.


    "My primary task now is to improve my strength." Lin Yuan focused his thoughts.


    Although this body also practiced Martial Dao, its realm was too low. It hadn''t even reached the Grandmaster realm, let alone the second rank; it was far frompleting the first rank.


    After a brief cultivation, correcting many mistakes in the original body''s practice, Lin Yuan left the room.


    Unlike the Immortal Dao, Martial Dao didn''t have an insatiable thirst for spiritual energy, but it still required resources.


    In fact, Martial Dao required a lot of resources, especially at the sixth rank, where opening the internal world demanded a mountain of resources.


    Of course, the perfect seventh-rank path Lin Yuan created required even more resources. The Martial Dao system in the Spirit Realm had only reached the seventh rank without his further input. Maintaining its existence was already good.


    The Spirit Realm was vast, with the Immortal Dao cultivation system dominating, while many other cultivation systems coexisted. Martial Dao''s presence was not prominent.


    As Lin Yuan walked out of the courtyard, a maid soon noticed him.


    "Young Master, you''re awake?" This maid, who was at the Foundation Establishment stage, had been nurtured by the Lin family since childhood.


    Even for a family like the Lin family, which was rooted in Xiaoyao City, the Immortal Dao cultivation system was more valued.


    Soon, Lin Yuan''s parents arrived.


    "Chang''er, are you alright?" A beautiful woman walked over, looked at Lin Yuan carefully, and smiled, "How do you feel now?"


    "Not bad." Lin Yuan nodded.


    ording to the memories, the original body loved the Martial Dao system but, due to impatience, encountered problems during cultivation and fell into aa.


    This allowed Lin Yuan''s consciousness to awaken.


    "Chang''er, you have spiritual roots. Even though they are three spiritual roots, you can still cultivate the Immortal Dao. Why focus on Martial Dao?"


    The original body''s father, Lin Jianping, had built the Lin family from scratch, making it a model of sess in Xiaoyao City.


    The Lin family had over ten branches in Xiaoyao City. Lin Jianping was well-informed and knew that the Immortal Dao system was far superior to Martial Dao.


    Beyond the Xuan King Domain, in the three thousand Dao States, the real stage belonged to those heavenly prodigies practicing the Immortal Dao.


    Lin Jianping didn''t have high expectations for his son but didn''t want him to suffer the hardships of Martial Dao.


    Cultivating Martial Dao required body refinement, which was more torturous than cultivating the Immortal Dao.


    "I like Martial Dao."


    Lin Yuan said casually.


    This was also the original body''s thought.


    With Lin Yuan''s consciousness revived, he had no doubts about practicing Martial Dao.


    As for the Immortal Dao? He might borrow from itter, but his foundation would certainly be in Martial Dao.


    "Like Martial Dao?"


    Lin Jianping was a bit troubled.


    His son was perfect in every way, very sensible since childhood, but very stubborn. Once he made up his mind, no one could change it.


    Most Martial Dao practitioners either had no spiritual roots or had low-quality spiritual roots, so they had no choice but to practice Martial Dao.


    But Lin Yuan? With three spiritual roots, although not the best, he had a fair chance of reaching the Golden Core stage with some luck.


    "A''Da."


    Lin Jianping raised his right hand, and a figure emerged from the shadows.


    "Take some of the century-old and millennium-old Blood Ganoderma and Jade Ginseng from the various branches and give them to Chang''er for cultivation."


    Martial Dao practitioners initially focused on physical refinement, which could be elerated with external items.


    "Yes."


    The figure named ''A''Da'' bowed slightly.


    "A''Da?"


    Lin Yuan nced at the figure behind Lin Jianping.


    "A third-rank Martial Dao practitioner?"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    In Xiaoyao City, Martial Dao practitioners were the majority. Despite Lin Jianping''s reluctance for his son to practice Martial Dao, in reality, the Martial Dao system had considerable influence in the Xuan King Domain.


    After all, several seventh-rank Martial Dao practitionersparable to Dao Fusion stage true immortals had emerged.


    Lin Jianping was worried that his son wouldn''t properly understand Martial Dao and end up ruining his body.


    "Son, you should focus on your Martial Dao. I''ll find a master for you in the next few days." Lin Jianping patted Lin Yuan''s shoulder and then left with the beautiful woman.


    "Find a master?"


    Lin Yuan thought for a moment and didn''t refuse.


    Given the previous incident of fainting while practicing Martial Dao, refusing now might cause his parents more concern.


    Lin Jianping and the beautiful woman went to a hall.


    The beautiful woman, Shen Zhen, gave Lin Jianping a sideways nce, "What kind of master do you want to find for Chang''er?"


    In Xiaoyao City, Martial Dao practitioners were as numerous as the carp in the river, but true Martial Dao experts were few. Fourth-rank and above were rare.


    "My son, Lin Jianping''s son, deserves the best if he wants to practice Martial Dao."


    Lin Jianping thought for a while and made up his mind, "I n to let Chang''er go to the Martial Temple to experience the ''Martial Ancestor''s Divine Radiance.''"


    "Martial Ancestor''s Divine Radiance?"


    Shen Zhen blinked, then understood, "You''re really willing to go that far, Old Lin?"


    In Xiaoyao City, the ce with the highest concentration of Martial Dao practitioners was undoubtedly the Martial Temple.


    As the foundation of Martial Dao, the seventh-rank Martial Dao practitioners who founded the Martial Temple left behind several Divine Radiances to ensure the inheritance of the Martial Dao system.


    These Divine Radiances illustrated the essence of Martial Dao as understood by those seventh-rank practitioners and were also rted to the mysterious Martial Ancestor.


    Hence, they were called the Martial Ancestor''s Divine Radiance.


    The Divine Radiance had two functions. One was to let the perceiver understand the essence of Martial Dao as understood by those seventh-rank practitioners.


    The second was to determine the perceiver''s strength in the Martial Dao system.


    Especially the first function, which was akin to indirect guidance from those seventh-rank practitioners.


    Seventh-rank Martial Dao practitioners,parable to Dao Fusion stage true immortals, were significant figures overseeing the Xuan King Domain.


    Of course, to enter the Martial Temple and perceive the Martial Ancestor''s Divine Radiance, unless one had remarkable talent and was valued by the Martial Temple, one could only take the back door.


    Taking the back door meant paying an extra cost to follow talented disciples of the Martial Temple and perceive some of the remaining Divine Radiance.


    Even so, for the Lin family, letting Lin Yuan perceive the Martial Ancestor''s Divine Radiance once would cost nearly half their family fortune.


    This was despite the Lin family being rooted in Xiaoyao City for many years. Otherwise, outsiders wouldn''t even have the chance to take the back door.


    [Name: Lin Chang (Lin Yuan)]


    [Identity: Master of the Gate of Myriad Realms]


    [Bound Talent: Unrivaled Insight]


    [Divine Power: Blood Rebirth, Moving Mountain]


    [Current Status: Consciousness Descended]


    [Remaining Stay Time: 920 years]


    In the room, Lin Yuan nced at the phantom text in the lower left corner of his vision.


    "The stay time this time is 920 years?"


    Lin Yuan was quite satisfied. With such a long time, the eighth rank of Martial Dao could almost certainly be developed.


    "I''m currently too weak. To recover to the eighth rank, a lot of resources are needed."


    Lin Yuan grabbed arge portion of millennium-old Blood Ganoderma and swallowed it, absorbing the surging energy quickly.


    "The first to sixth ranks are not a problem, but the peak of the sixth rank and the seventh rank? Opening the internal world requires a vast amount of resources."


    In the main world, Lin Yuan consumed tons of ''Red Spirit Liquid'' to open his internal world.


    "Forget it."


    "Let''s take it one step at a time."


    Lin Yuan focused his thoughts and continued to cultivate.

 Chapter 251

    Chapter 251


    A few dayster.


    Lin Yuan was still cultivating.


    He was dragged out of his room by his mother, Shen Zhen.


    "Chang''er, I''m taking you to a good ce."


    Mother Shen Zhen said mysteriously.


    "A good ce?"


    Lin Yuan felt quite helpless in his heart.


    Soon.


    The two of them came outside.His father, Lin Jianping, had been waiting for a long time.


    His expression was full of seriousness.


    "This time, we are going to the Martial Temple."


    "Chang''er, when you get there, you must not fool around."


    Lin Jianping cautioned.


    Although the martial cultivation system does not have as much influence as the immortal cultivation system, in Xiaoyao City, the Martial Temple is the supreme authority, overseeing everything andmanding all.


    Even in the entire Xuan King Domain, the Martial Temple is one of the most powerful forces under the Daoist Immortal Sect. Several martial seventh rank experts havebat strengthparable to ordinary true immortals in the Dao Fusion rank.


    "Martial Temple?"


    Lin Yuan''s heart stirred slightly.


    He had long spected that the Martial Temple was probably established by his former disciples, like Li Qing and others.


    The purpose was to ensure the inheritance of the martial cultivation system.


    In the center of Xiaoyao City.


    There stood the majestic Xiaoyao Mountain.


    This was the location of the Martial Temple, the most central ce in the entire Xiaoyao City.


    The few martial seventh rank experts who founded the Martial Temple often fought for the Daoist Immortal Sect. The strongest within the temple was only a martial sixth rank expert, but that was enough to overlook the entire Xiaoyao City.


    Xiaoyao City was among the top hundred out of tens of thousands of cities in the Xuan King Domain.


    This was due to the existence of the Martial Temple.


    At this moment.


    A spirit ship flew near.


    Lin Jianping, Lin Yuan, and others stepped out.


    "Sir of the Martial Temple, my son wants to go in and experience the Martial Ancestor''s divine radiance." Lin Jianping took out a token.


    It was bronze in color, with the word ''Martial'' inscribed on it.


    "Go in."


    At the entrance of Xiaoyao Mountain, several guards nced at the token and opened the formation.


    Seeing this, Lin Jianping thanked them again and led Lin Yuan and Shen Zhen inside.


    "Another one using connections."


    The guards sneered after Lin Jianping and the other two disappeared.


    Since the establishment of Xiaoyao City, many people hade to experience the Martial Ancestor''s divine radiance at intervals.


    Among these people, very few were invited by the Martial Temple due to their outstanding martial talents to experience the divine radiance.


    But most came to ''benefit'' from the divine radiance.


    The higher-ups of the Martial Temple did not intervene because, firstly, it could bring some ie to the temple, and secondly, it did not affect them.


    After the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor was activated, it enveloped the area for a fixed time, prioritizing those with outstanding martial talents.


    After they had finished, it was the turn of the others.


    "Using connections also requires some strength." Another guard sighed.


    "Experiencing the Martial Ancestor''s divine radiance and indirectly receiving guidance from a martial expert on par with true immortals¡ªwouldn''t you want that?"


    The guard shook his head and said.


    "Of course, I would."


    The first guard who spoke was silent for a moment but then spoke honestly.


    Guidance from a powerful figure was too important.


    Especially the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor, which not only provided guidance but also determined which aspect of martial arts the experiencer excelled in.


    Xiaoyao Mountain.


    As far as Lin Yuan could see, this was an extremely vast mountain, with traces of aura filling every inch of the air. It was clear that any outsider daring to intrude would be suppressed by the forces from all directions in the first instant.


    "Using martial arts methodsbined with immortal formations is interesting."


    Lin Yuan only took a nce and saw through the essence of Xiaoyao Mountain.


    "Chang''er, don''t look around." Lin Jianping nced at Lin Yuan and quickly reminded him.


    Inside Xiaoyao Mountain, Martial Temple big shots could pass by at any moment. If any of them were offended by Lin Yuan''s gaze, wouldn''t it be a disaster?


    The few of them followed the path and soon arrived at a teleportation array.


    Xiaoyao Mountain was too vast, and to reach the Martial Temple at the top, it would take at least half a day, so there were usually teleportation arrays at the foot of the mountain.


    Buzz.


    Under the guidance of a Martial Temple disciple.


    The three of them stepped into the teleportation array and instantly reached the top of the mountain.


    "There are quite a few people."


    Shen Zhen curiously looked around.


    She found that many people were gathered in small groups, talking in low voices.


    Not far away, a huge wall stood; this was the ce where the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor would be activated.


    But it was currently closed, and no one was allowed to enter.


    "Many peoplee to experience the Martial Ancestor''s divine radiance. Xiaoyao City is sorge, and many ns and forces send their children over when it is activated."


    Lin Jianping said in a low voice.


    The Lin family was only somewhat famous in Xiaoyao City and far from beingparable to the real big yers.


    Letting Lin Yuan experience the Martial Ancestor''s divine radiance cost the Lin family most of its wealth, but for those big yers, every time it was activated, they would send a group of people to experience it.


    Lin Yuan listened from the side.


    Most of his attention was on the huge wall.


    "Martial Ancestor''s divine radiance?"


    Lin Yuan had a guess. Before he left the Central Divine State, he had left seven statues, each inscribed with his insights into martial arts.


    While Lin Yuan was contemting.


    Therge door in the center of the huge wall in the distance slowly opened.


    An old man in a ck robe walked out.


    "The divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor is about to envelop. Those whose names are called, go in and experience it."


    The ck-robed old man said sinctly.


    "Ouyang Song."


    The ck-robed old man continued.


    "It''s me."


    A young man stood up and walked into the door.


    "Feel it well." The ck-robed old man showed an appreciative look and reminded him.


    "Ouyang Song?"


    "Is he the one known as the greatest martial talent in Xiaoyao City in the past fifty years?"


    "I heard that Ouyang Song hasprehended the power of thunder, which is known for its killing strength." The crowd murmured in low voices.


    Most of them hade through connections, their martial talents far inferior to Ouyang Song''s.


    At the top of Xiaoyao Mountain.


    In another ce.


    Several figures were sitting cross-legged, watching the area covered by the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor.


    "I hope this time the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor can add a few talents to our Martial Temple."


    The leading figure sighed and said slowly.


    "The divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor contains the understanding of martial arts from three ancestors and the interpretation of the Martial Ancestor. Any cultivator who practices martial arts will gain something from experiencing it."


    Another figure said.


    "The Martial Ancestor..."


    The other figures'' expressions became slightly solemn at these words.


    They had heard of the Martial Ancestor''s name from the three martial seventh rank ancestors.


    The current scale of the martial cultivation system was due to the negotiations between the Martial Ancestor and a true immortal from the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    However¡ª


    None of the martial cultivators in the Martial Temple had ever seen the Martial Ancestor.


    In the square below.


    Those who hade through connections to experience the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor began to chat while waiting.


    "This divine radiance is left by the three martial experts on par with true immortals from the Martial Temple, but actually, it originates from the Martial Ancestor."


    "That''s right, otherwise why call it the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor?"


    "The Martial Ancestor? I''ve heard the name but never any specific deeds. I thought it was made up. Is there really such a person?"


    "Hahaha, I know a bit. The three martial experts on par with true immortals in the current Martial Temple ascended from the lower realm."


    "And the Martial Ancestor is their master in the lower realm."


    "The master of three true immortals? Then what level is the Martial Ancestor now?"


    "Not sure. After ascending, the three martial seventh rank experts searched for the Martial Ancestor but found nothing."


    "Maybe the Martial Ancestor didn''t ascend, or perhaps he did but is trapped somewhere. The spirit realm is vast with many dangerous ces; it''s too normal."


    Many discussions ensued.


    Lin Jianping remained silent.


    "The Martial Ancestor is an extraordinary being." After a long while, Lin Jianping spoke.


    "You don''t know the Martial Ancestor. How do you know they are extraordinary?" Shen Zhen rolled her eyes at Lin Jianping.


    "You don''t understand." Lin Jianping shook his head.


    "The Martial Ancestor?" Lin Yuan listened from the side.


    "Three martial seventh rank experts? Is it Li Qing? And other disciples?"


    Lin Yuan thought. He had established the White Jade Pavilion and taken in hundreds of disciples, personally teaching martial arts.


    But those with the potential to reach the seventh rank were few.


    At another ce on the mountaintop.


    Several high-ranking members of the Martial Temple were watching the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor.


    The martial genius Ouyang Song sat cross-legged, experiencing the divine radiance emanating from the seven statues, his expression constantly changing.


    After a while.


    The leftmost statue emitted three parts of its radiance.


    The martial genius Ouyang Song suddenly opened his eyes, gasping for breath.


    "Not bad. This statue represents the Dao of ughter. Three parts radiance is excellent. Xiaoyao City hasn''t seen such talent in a hundred years."


    The leading figure nodded andmented.


    The seven statues represented different martial paths and could help the experiencers choose their future path.


    The emitted radiance tested the experiencer''spatibility with martial arts. Three parts radiance was considered rare.


    "Ouyang Song can be epted as an inner disciple and given focused training."


    Another figure spoke.


    "An inner disciple? That''s eptable."


    "If he had reached four parts radiance, he could have been made a core disciple."


    "What a pity."


    "An inner disciple is still good, with the potential to reach the fourth rank of martial arts in the future."


    After some discussion, they made a decision.


    Next.


    One by one, martial talents experienced the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor.


    In the end, three were epted as inner disciples of the Martial Temple, one became a core disciple, and six became ordinary disciples.


    With that.


    The divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor came to an end.


    As for the rest waiting in line to experience it? They were mostly those who came through connections and whose talents did not meet the criteria to join the Martial Temple.


    However, the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor was unique; even those without martial talent could benefit from it.


    There were no barriers to experiencing the divine radiance; even immortal cultivators could experience it.


    "It''s my turn, it''s my turn."


    "Hurry up in front; the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor is about to extinguish."


    Those who came through connections began to urge.


    They did not dare to speak when the martial talents were experiencing the divine radiance, as even a word could get them expelled from the Martial Temple.


    But now, with only those using connections left, they wanted the process to go faster.


    On the other side of the mountaintop.


    Several high-ranking members of the Martial Temple watched patiently for a while.


    Then they lost interest.


    Those using connections to experience the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor rarely hadpatibility above one part.


    "The ancestor said that all living beings have the qualification to cultivate martial arts." A figure muttered to himself.


    This was why they allowed those using connections to experience the divine radiance.


    Just because you were not a martial talent did not mean you should be deprived of the Martial Ancestor''s guidance.


    In the square below.


    Soon it was Lin Yuan''s turn to experience the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor.


    "Son, don''t feel pressured, just experience it casually." Shen Zhen encouraged Lin Yuan.


    "Experience it casually?"


    Lin Jianping''s mouth twitched. This was a chance he had spent most of their wealth to obtain.


    But to avoid making Lin Yuan nervous, Lin Jianping still said, "Your mother is right, don''t feel any pressure."


    "Got it."


    Lin Yuan nodded and walked into the door.


    Buzz.


    The seven statues emitted a faint divine radiance.


    The ck-robed old man stood beside them.


    "Sit here and close your eyes to feel it." The ck-robed old man said calmly, his tone showing no fluctuation, obviously having said it countless times.


    "Sit here?"


    Lin Yuan nced at the seven statues, his brow furrowing slightly.


    Because he had no idea how to feel it.


    Others would find the divine radiance full of mysteries.


    But to Lin Yuan, the divine radiance was something he had yed with centuries ago.


    It was like a PhD student solving elementary school problems¡ªthey could see the answer at a nce, what was there to ponder?


    "How to feel it?"


    Lin Yuan thought for a moment and still asked.


    "Just close your eyes, and the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor will naturally resonate with you."


    The ck-robed old man patiently exined.


    "Alright then."


    Lin Yuan followed the instructions and sat before the statues.


    Buzz.


    The omnipresent divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor quickly enveloped Lin Yuan and began to resonate with him.


    However.


    The next moment.


    The seven statues simultaneously halted.


    Even the omnipresent divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor abruptly solidified.


    "What?"


    The ck-robed old man, who was thinking Lin Yuan should finish quickly so the next person coulde, suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief.


    Rumble.


    With the initial halt, the seven statues emitted radiance together, twelve parts radiance from each statue.


    Strands of the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor continuously swirled around Lin Yuan, as ifmanded, converging at his feet.


    "You, which divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor did you feel?"


    The ck-robed old man trembled, looking at Lin Yuan like a deity, and instinctively asked.


    "Which divine radiance?"


    Lin Yuan nced at the ck-robed old man.


    He did not speak.


    I am the Martial Ancestor.


    What divine radiance is there to feel?

 Chapter 252

    Chapter 252


    On the other side of the mountaintop.


    Several figures who were initially uninterested were chatting among themselves.


    Their attention was not on those experiencing the Martial Ancestor''s divine radiance.


    It couldn''t be helped; after the first batch of invited martial talents, the numerous backdoor entrants who followed performed poorly.


    Theirpatibility with martial arts barely exceeded ten percent.


    If it weren''t for the critical importance of the Martial Ancestor''s divine radiance, which had to be observed under their watchful eyes.


    They would have turned and left long ago.


    "It''s almost over."


    The leading figure, the Supreme Elder of the Martial Temple, held a position second only to the three martial seventh rank experts fighting outside.He nced casually at the location of the Martial Ancestor''s divine radiance below.


    The next moment.


    The Supreme Elder of the Martial Temple''s pupils contracted sharply.


    In his sight, strands of the Martial Ancestor''s divine radiance boiled, and the statues began to emit twelve parts of radiance.


    In an instant, the area within the wall, where the seven statues were ced, was nearly overflowing with the Martial Ancestor''s divine radiance.


    "What is this?"


    The Supreme Elder of the Martial Temple was shocked. There was only one possibility for actively attracting the Martial Ancestor''s divine radiance.


    That the experiencer''s martial talent was too powerful, causing the Martial Ancestor''s divine radiance to fully revive.


    This had happened several times in the past hundred thousand years, but the radiance attracted was far less than today.


    "Twelve parts of radiance from each of the seven statues... Am I dreaming?" Another Supreme Elder of the Martial Temple muttered to himself.


    The seven statues represented seven different directions of martial arts.


    For example, specializing in killing power, defense, domains, etc.


    Since the establishment of the Martial Temple, they had indeed seen challengers who caused several statues to shine, but that was at most three or four statues, and each statue''s radiance did not exceed seven parts.


    But now?


    Twelve parts of radiance?


    And all seven statues were like this?


    "A genius."


    "The most talented genius since the establishment of the Martial Temple."


    The Supreme Elders of the Martial Temple quickly reacted. As sixth-rank martial experts, they should not have been so dismayed.


    But the scene before them was too incredible.


    In front of the seven statues.


    Lin Yuan quietly felt the submissive intent of the Martial Ancestor''s divine radiance.


    The so-called Martial Ancestor''s divine radiance was nothing more than the traces of Dao left by Lin Yuan on the seven statues, activated by external forces.


    It could sense the most suitable physique and talent for martial arts.


    In the past few days since his consciousness descended, while Lin Yuan was restoring his strength, he was also slowly transforming this body.


    As the former Martial Ancestor, the direction Lin Yuan guided this body''s transformation was undoubtedly the most suitable for martial arts.


    The performance of the Martial Ancestor''s divine radiance was merely sensing the ultimate martial physique.


    This physique was almost impossible to be born naturally and would only appear with the guidance of Lin Yuan, the Martial Ancestor.


    Of course, outsiders wouldn''t know this, not even the three seventh-rank martial ancestors.


    Nearby.


    The ck-robed elder was still in a state of unbelievable shock.


    He had initiated the Martial Ancestor''s divine radiance countless times but had never experienced such a scene.


    And seeing the seven statues emitting twelve parts of radiance simultaneously left the ck-robed elder bewildered.


    To make one statue emit twelve parts of radiance was a once-in-a-lifetime event. But all seven?


    While the ck-robed elder was unsure of what to do next.


    Several figures appeared silently beside him, all eyes fixed on Lin Yuan.


    An unprecedented martial genius.


    Heaven blesses our Martial Temple.


    Heaven blesses our martial way.


    These figures were none other than the Supreme Elders of the Martial Temple.


    "Supreme Elders."


    The ck-robed elder was startled.


    Then he quickly realized.


    If he had noticed the anomaly in the Martial Ancestor''s divine radiance, how could the Supreme Elders not?


    "Step down."


    The leading Supreme Elder nced at the ck-robed elder.


    "Yes."


    The ck-robed elder immediately bowed and quickly retreated.


    "Young friend."


    The Supreme Elder of the Martial Temple squeezed out a warm smile and greeted Lin Yuan, then solemnly asked, "Would you be willing to join our Martial Temple?"


    After speaking.


    All the Supreme Elders present showed a hint of nervousness.


    With the influence of the Martial Temple, they could naturally force Lin Yuan to join.


    As the ''Heaven'' of Xiaoyao City, who would dare defy the Martial Temple''s will?


    But that was for outsiders. Given Lin Yuan''s terrifying talent, he would likely lead the Martial Temple in the future.


    Who would dare to force him? Who would not fear future retribution?


    Using coercion on a martial genius who could revive the Martial Temple was the most foolish method.


    "Join the Martial Temple?"


    Lin Yuan looked at the Supreme Elders.


    In fact, with his control over his power, he could have blocked the Martial Ancestor''s divine radiance from sensing him.


    But he didn''t.


    The goal was to attract the Martial Temple''s attention and join them, using their vast resources to quickly restore his strength.


    The Martial Temple was established to inherit the martial cultivation system, inherently Lin Yuan''s subordinate force.


    It even aligned with some of Lin Yuan''s future ns. This time, Lin Yuan also nned to spread the path of martial evolution.


    With the Martial Temple, Lin Yuan could avoid many detours and didn''t need to build a force from scratch to spread martial arts.


    "I am willing."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    "Willing?"


    The Supreme Elder of the Martial Temple and the other Supreme Elders exchanged nces, breathing a sigh of relief.


    Outside the wall.


    Everyone was waiting anxiously.


    The duration of the Martial Ancestor''s divine radiance was limited. The more time wasted in the front, the less time for those in the back.


    By now, the previous experiencer had been inside for more than half an hour. If it dragged on, the divine radiance might cease.


    "Could Chang''er have caused trouble?"


    Lin Jianping felt a pang of anxiety and could only hope in his heart.


    Outside, with the Lin family''s influence, as long as Lin Yuan didn''t cause too much trouble, they could handle it.


    But this was the Martial Temple. Anyone caught here had more background and status than the Lin family.


    If Lin Yuan caused trouble here, Lin Jianping''s scalp tingled just thinking about it.


    "He won''t, he won''t."


    Shen Zhenforted in a low voice.


    But she too felt the same worry.


    Lin Yuan was taking too long to experience the divine radiance.


    It was hard not to think along those lines.


    Before long.


    The ck-robed elder walked out.


    He addressed everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Martial Ancestor''s divine radiance has concluded. Please go back."


    "Concluded?"


    "So quickly?"


    "It wasn''t this fast in previous years."


    Although the waiting crowd was unwilling.


    They didn''t dare to question it.


    What a joke.


    Questioning the Martial Temple?


    Did they want to live?


    "Concluded?"


    Lin Jianping was dumbfounded, "What about my son?"


    He hadn''t seen Lin Yuane out.


    Lin Yuan hadn''te out.


    And it was over?


    Lin Jianping wanted to ask but didn''t dare.


    He could only stand and continue waiting.


    Soon.


    The others gradually left.


    "It''s over. Chang''er must have gotten into trouble."


    Lin Jianping felt cold inside, and Shen Zhen''s face also looked bad.


    If nothing had happened, their son should havee out by now.


    Just as they mustered the courage to ask what had happened.


    The ck-robed elder walked quickly to Lin Jianping and Shen Zhen, slightly bowing, "Are you Lin Chang''s parents? Pleasee inside."


    The ck-robed elder''s tone was gentle,pletely different from the high-handed attitude he showed to others.


    He knew very well that based on Lin Yuan''s performance during the divine radiance experience, his future position in the Martial Temple was beyond measure.


    So, his attitude towards Lin Yuan''s parents had to be impable, lest he nt the seeds of trouble for himself.


    "We are."


    Lin Jianping quickly said.


    This ck-robed elder was a steward of the Martial Temple. Elders and heads of prominent families in Xiaoyao City treated him with the utmost respect.


    But now, such a figure was speaking to him so gently.


    It felt like a dream to Lin Jianping.


    After a brief conversation.


    The ck-robed elder said directly, "Lin Chang is a martial genius. You need not worry."


    The ck-robed elder couldn''t reveal too much and only shared some minor information to reassure them.


    "My son is a martial genius?"


    Lin Jianping blinked, unable to react for a long time.


    Shen Zhen felt the same. They knew their son well, didn''t they?


    Deep in the Martial Temple.


    The Supreme Elders gathered again.


    After personally escorting Lin Yuan to the finest cultivation cave.


    They gathered here.


    "Lin Chang, father Lin Jianping..."


    Information about Lin Yuan appeared before the Supreme Elders.


    Although they couldn''t get over Lin Yuan''s extraordinary martial talent, they had to conduct basic background checks.


    Even if they thought this background check was meaningless, no matter what potential issues Lin Yuan''s identity had, they had decided to keep this unprecedented martial genius at any cost.


    "Currently, everything appears clear. Born and raised in Xiaoyao City..."


    The second Supreme Elder looked pleased. They had prepared for the worst, such as Lin Yuan having identity issues or enemies.


    No matter what, the Martial Temple would protect him.


    But it was better if there were no such problems.


    "What do we do next?"


    The third Supreme Elder asked.


    As a ce of martial inheritance, the Martial Temple had aplete process for cultivating disciples.


    What to do at each rank, which techniques to practice, etc.


    There were detailed guidelines.


    But given Lin Yuan''s talent, the usual methods felt like a waste to the Supreme Elders.


    "How about this?"


    "We old folks will personally guide him. What do you think?"


    The leading Supreme Elder suggested.


    "Personally guide him?"


    "Sounds good."


    "I want to see what makes a martial genius who can make seven statues emit twelve parts of radiance different."


    The Supreme Elders agreed.


    In an upper-level cave.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    "The cultivation environment here is very suitable for martial cultivators." Lin Yuan sensed and smiled.


    Xiaoyao City wasn''t built on a spiritual vein, so it wasn''t very rich in spiritual energy, but it had a nourishing blood energy for martial cultivators.


    Especially in this cave, if Lin Yuan absorbed freely, he could easily reach the seventh rank in less than fifty years.


    "This time, choosing to descend directly to the spirit realm was the right choice."


    "The cultivation environment here far surpasses the lower realm''s Immortal World."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    He could have descended first to the lower realm''s Immortal World and taken over the body of ''Jun Wuji'' gaining seventh-rank power directly.


    Then ascend to the upper realm.


    But that had significant drawbacks. Jun Wuji''s body was at a wed seventh rank.


    It couldn''tpare to Lin Yuan''s perfected seventh rank in the main world.


    Also, ascending through the tform involved risks, as did breaking through space to ''smuggle'' into the spirit realm.


    After considering, descending directly to the spirit realm was best. Although starting lower, with the Martial Temple''s support, reaching the eighth rank wouldn''t take long.


    The next day.


    The Supreme Elder came to see Lin Yuan.


    "How do you feel?"


    The Supreme Elder asked kindly.


    Other disciples who joined the Martial Temple, even core disciples, had to stay in the martial academy and undergo many tests.


    But Lin Yuan didn''t need that. Even his teachers were the Supreme Elders.


    Now, the Supreme Elder intended to personally guide Lin Yuan, giving him aprehensive understanding of the martial cultivation system.


    "Not bad."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    The environment was indeed good.


    "Have you read those books?"


    The Supreme Elder nced at a bookshelf not far away, filled with jade slips containing martial arts information.


    By aligning the jade slips with the forehead, one could browse and read.


    "Yes."


    Lin Yuan replied.


    The information in those jade slips helped him get familiar with current martial arts.


    "What did you gain?"


    The Supreme Elder wanted to test Lin Yuan.


    "Some descriptions of martial arts are one-sided."


    Lin Yuan said.


    "Oh? One-sided?"


    The Supreme Elder became interested.


    "Martial arts should be about the birth andpletion of all things. This is the true martial way." Lin Yuan said calmly.


    "The birth andpletion of all things?"


    The Supreme Elder''s eyes sparkled.


    In the spirit realm, apart from the high and mighty immortal way, who daredment on their own way like this?


    "What is the birth of all things?"


    The Supreme Elder continued to ask.


    "Time and space, Yin and Yang, the five elements..."


    Lin Yuan spoke slowly.


    An hourter.


    The Supreme Elder left the cave, looking somewhat dazed.


    "How did it go?"


    "How was the teaching?"


    "What''s his understanding of martial arts?"


    The other Supreme Elders were curious.


    "Understanding of martial arts?"


    The Supreme Elder looked around at the others and finally said in a strange tone:


    "He was born for martial arts."

 Chapter 253

    Chapter 253


    "Born for the Martial Way?"


    The few Supreme Elders were all shocked.


    This evaluation couldn''t be higher. In the Immortal Dao, it would equate to a dazzling, peerless genius, a seed of an Immortal King! Though the Martial Way doesn''t quitepare to the Immortal Dao, not just anyone could bear such an evaluation.


    "Don''t believe it?"


    The Grand Supreme Elder nced at them and sighed softly.


    To be honest, before ''teaching'' Lin Yuan, he didn''t think any Martial Way practitioner in the world could be evaluated this highly.


    But after that, the Grand Supreme Elder indeed realized Lin Yuan was such a person.


    "Wait until tomorrow, and you''ll know after you teach him."


    The Grand Supreme Elder shook his head slightly and left with big strides.In the following time.


    The few Supreme Elders of the Martial Temple all tried to ''teach'' Lin Yuan in turn.


    But the results often made people feel a bit heartbroken. The questions they posed to Lin Yuan were answered after a brief contemtion.


    But whenever Lin Yuan casually asked a question back, the Supreme Elders would think for a long time, unable toe up with an exnation, and finally, it was Lin Yuan who gave the answer.


    As for the Martial Way cultivation, Lin Yuan''s progress was even more rapid. With the Martial Temple fully providing resources, Lin Yuan''s advancement speed was astonishing.


    In less than a year, he had covered a path that ordinary Martial Way geniuses might not walk in decades.


    In fact, the Supreme Elders didn''t know that Lin Yuan was intentionally disying his cultivation speed.


    The actual speed of his cultivation was far more terrifying than they imagined.


    In the guest hall of the Martial Temple.


    Lin Yuan sat casually, while Lin Jianping and Shen Zhen were full of excitement.


    "Chang''er, you don''t know how good the Zhao family patriarch''s attitude towards me was. It''s all because of you, Chang''er."


    Lin Jianping looked at his son with an indescribable joy.


    The best decision he made in his life was to send Lin Yuan to feel the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor.


    Although until now, he didn''t know Lin Yuan''s status in the Martial Temple or what level of disciple he had be.


    But as time passed, under Lin Yuan''s casual instructions, the Martial Temple began to show a subtle closeness to the Lin family.


    This made the powerful families and forces in Xiaoyao City, who previously looked down on the Lin family, immediately treat them well.


    "Is that so?"


    Lin Yuan smiled and said.


    Now his position in the Martial Temple was very special.


    He was not a disciple but was personally taught by several Supreme Elders of the Martial Temple.


    In theory, Lin Yuan''s qualifications and seniority should be on par with the current Temple Master of the Martial Temple.


    With a single word from Lin Yuan, even the Temple Master of the Martial Temple wouldn''t dare to refute.


    After chatting for a while.


    Shen Zhen pulled Lin Jianping up and left.


    "Chang''er, make sure to protect yourself well in the Martial Temple." Shen Zhen was still a bit worried about Lin Yuan.


    She had heard that thepetition within the Martial Temple was fierce. Even core disciples had to pay a great price to get what they wanted.


    Now her son could influence the Martial Temple, and the price he paid was unimaginable.


    "Don''t worry, I am doing very well in there."


    Lin Yuan said.


    However, as Lin Yuan said this, Shen Zhen''s eyes reddened, thinking that Lin Yuan was just putting on a brave front.


    After sending off his parents.


    Lin Yuan returned to his cultivation cave.


    "This world, after tens of thousands of years of development, has explored many directions in the Martial Way." Lin Yuan fell into contemtion.


    During his half-year in the Martial Temple, apart from his daily cultivation to restore his strength, he had been observing the current changes in the Martial Way cultivation system.


    Although Lin Yuan was the founder of the Martial Way, he initially only left behind chapters for ranks one to seven.


    The seventh-rank chapter was just a beginning, and the seventh-rank chapter created back then was not perfect. It was only after returning to the main world that Lin Yuan perfected the seventh-rank chapter to his satisfaction.


    "Unfortunately, after all these years, no one has moved beyond the seventh-rank chapter."


    Lin Yuan thought silently.


    To Lin Yuan''s knowledge, the strongest in the current Martial Way were only three seventh-rank Martial practitioners.


    Among these three, the strongest was named ''Li Qing,'' who was Lin Yuan''s personal disciple in the lower realm.


    As for the other two, they were juniors taught after ascending to the Spirit Realm.


    Of the three seventh ranks, ''Li Qing'' was at the peak of the seventh rank, while the other two were hovering around the mid tote seventh rank.


    "Seventh rank peak..." Lin Yuan pondered.


    The Martial Way path that ''Li Qing'' followed was the one Lin Yuan left behind. Although it was just the beginning of the seventh rank, Lin Yuan had left his guesses and spections about the subsequent stages of the seventh rank.


    As long as Li Qing followed Lin Yuan''s ideas, reaching the peak of the seventh rank wasn''t too difficult.


    It was certainly easier than creating the seventh-rank chapter from scratch.


    However, because the seventh-rank chapter Lin Yuan left behind wasn''t perfect, ''Li Qing'' almost had no chance of stepping into the eighth rank.


    Even in the main world, the eighth rank was a crucial stage, and the eighth-rank evolution path was a prerequisite for bing a great evolution schr.


    "Indeed."


    "Although tens of thousands of years have passed in this world, the Martial Way ultimately isn''t a strong path. Without enough beings investing in it, plus the seventh-rank chapter going astray, it''s not surprising that no eighth-rank chapter was developed."


    Lin Yuan thought silently.


    He could step into the eighth rank because his seventh rank was perfect,bined with his Unrivaled Insight, the many cultivation conditions of the main world, and countless evolution paths from the body of the strongest one.


    With all these factorsbined, Lin Yuan achieved his current sess.


    As for the Martial Way in the Spirit Realm, without Lin Yuan''s conscious presence, it would probably take another million years to see an eighth-rank practitioner.


    "Martial Way eighth rank, could it correspond to the Tribtion Stage in the Immortal Dao cultivation system?"


    Lin Yuan thought about the Immortal Dao cultivation system.


    The Tribtion Stage was also known as the Immortal King.


    Tribtion Immortal King.


    Even in the Spirit Realm''s three thousand states, a Tribtion Immortal King stood at the absolute top.


    "To step into the Tribtion Stage, one must ovee the mind and body tribtions to break through to the Tribtion Stage and be an Immortal King."


    "This is simr to the seventh rank stepping into the eighth rank, requiring a Heart Demon tribtion."


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    The difference was that the seventh rank needed to experience the Heart Demon tribtion to step into the eighth rank, while the True Immortals of the Spirit Realm also needed to experience a body tribtion.


    "Tribtion Immortal King, wielding the power of creation, overlooking the Spirit Realm, even able to travel through millions of lower realms?"


    Lin Yuan thought about the descriptions of the Tribtion Immortal King he had read.


    These were all collected by the Martial Temple. Although the Martial Way cultivation system differed from the Immortal Dao cultivation system, thetter still held a reverence for the top Immortal Dao practitioners.


    "I wonder what differences there are between a Tribtion Immortal King and an eighth-rank evolver." Lin Yuan was curious.


    Different cultivation systems exhibit different abilities at each stage.


    The Tribtion Immortal King corresponds to the eighth rank mainly in overall power. The specifics would need a direct confrontation to understand.


    "The power of creation?"


    Lin Yuan touched his chin. This power, the core strength of a Tribtion Immortal King, was the greatest confidence of Immortal Kings.


    "Is it another name for the power of the world? Or is it simply another type of energy? Have Tribtion Immortal Kings not developed internal worlds?"


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts fluctuated.


    The greatest means of an eighth-rank evolver was the power of the world nurtured within their internal world.


    As for the Tribtion Immortal King''s power of creation, it wasn''t clear what kind of power it was.


    The Martial Temple''s level was ultimately not high enough to collect detailed information on Immortal King-level practitioners.


    Deep within the Martial Temple.


    A few Supreme Elders gathered once again.


    "Chang''er''s talent is too strong. We can no longer teach him."


    The Second Supreme Elder fell silent for a moment and said truthfully.


    They were all sixth-rank Martial practitioners, equivalent to Ancient Saints in the Void Refinement Stage.


    In the Spirit Realm, Void Refinement Stage Ancient Saints could dominate one side, at least in a city like Xiaoyao, where Ancient Saint-levelbat power was the pinnacle.


    But facing Lin Yuan, they felt a bit overwhelmed.


    Lin Yuan''s learning ability and cultivation speed were too fast.


    So fast that it made them question how they had spent their years.


    "What should we do then?"


    The Third Supreme Elder asked.


    "Now, the only way is to ask the three ancestors. Perhaps only the three ancestors are qualified to teach Chang''er."


    The Grand Supreme Elder said.


    "The three ancestors?"


    The remaining Supreme Elders were slightly startled.


    The three ancestors referred to the three seventh-rank Martial practitioners.


    The founders of the Martial Temple.


    However.


    These three seventh-rank Martial practitioners were currently fighting for the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    The Daoist Immortal Sect had protected Xiaoyao City for so many years, not only because a certain True Immortal master in the Daoist Immortal Sect negotiated an agreement with the mysterious Martial Ancestor.


    But also because of the merits the three ancestors had umted for the Daoist Immortal Sect over the years.


    "Now, it seems only the three ancestors can teach him."


    The Third Supreme Elder sighed. They didn''t dare to continue teaching; otherwise, their mental state would definitely be damaged.


    Too exaggerated.


    If it weren''t confirmed that Lin Chang''s soul and body were perfectly aligned.


    They would suspect if Lin Chang had been possessed by some ancient monster.


    In the Spirit Realm, possession wasn''t umon.


    "I''ll contact the three ancestors immediately."


    Seeing no objections from the Supreme Elders, the Grand Supreme Elder stood up and said.


    The three ancestors were on an external campaign and couldn''t be disturbed unless it was a significant matter. However, regarding Lin Yuan, the Supreme Elders all deemed it a major issue.


    Inside the cave mansion.


    Besides his cultivation, Lin Yuan was also sensing the great Dao rules of the Spirit Realm.


    "The rule of Yin."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts moved, and a pure and extreme Yin power gathered in his pupils, merging with the Yang power to form the power of Tai Chi.


    "Unexpectedly, Iprehended the rule of Yin shortly after arriving."


    Lin Yuan was pleased. He hadn''tprehended the rule of Yin even after nearly twenty years of seclusion in the main world but did so shortly after transmigrating over.


    "However, my strength is too weak now to condense the rule. Otherwise, I could see if the fusion of the Yin and Yang rules would create a new rule, the Tai Chi rule?"


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    The rules of the great Dao were ethereal. To condense a rule, one must firstprehend it and have a physique and soul that could bear it.


    Of course, Lin Yuan just couldn''t condense the rule of Yin but could still use it.


    Once a rule isprehended, even an ordinary person could exhibit power far beyond their limits in every move.


    "This transmigration might allow me to awaken a physical divine ability."


    Lin Yuan seemed to think of something, and his eyes brightened slightly.


    The sixth rank chapter of the Martial Way absorbed the essence of the body cultivation lineage and could condense a physical divine ability for Martial Way practitioners.


    So far, Lin Yuan had condensed two physical divine abilities.


    One was ''Blood Rebirth.''


    The other was ''Moving Mountains.''


    The former had greatly helped Lin Yuan, even enabling him to open the mysterious gourd with it.


    "And that gourd."


    Lin Yuan''s mind sank into the depths of his consciousness, looking at the majestic Gate of the Myriad Realms.


    As long as Lin Yuan wished, he could use a strand of Boundary-Breaking Source Power to bring that mysterious gourd over at any time.


    But Lin Yuan thought for a while and decided to wait.


    His current strength was too weak. The mysterious gourd was too precious, and he would consider it once he had enough power to protect himself in this world.


    "Time to cultivate."


    Lin Yuan collected his thoughts and began to cultivate again.


    Although he was now protected by the Martial Temple and had no safety concerns.


    There were still many things waiting for Lin Yuan to do, and all these required strength.


    On the edge of the Xuan King Domain.


    Inside a pce.


    Three figures sat cross-legged, their blood flowing and faintly shaking the surroundings.


    "Mm?"


    "The Martial Temple sent me a message."


    The first figure on the left opened his eyes and spoke.


    "The Martial Temple?"


    "What major event happened?"


    The first figure on the right also opened his eyes.


    They had long told the Martial Temple only to contact them in case of major events.


    "What is it?"


    At this moment, the figure in the middle opened her eyes and spoke slowly.


    This figure was a beautiful woman, ''Li Qing,'' Lin Yuan''s personal disciple from back then.


    "They say the Martial Temple has received a peerless genius, who caused seven statues to tremble and all emit their full radiance when feeling the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor."


    The figure on the left said.


    "Seven statues, all emitting full radiance?"


    The figure on the right''s tone showed some fluctuation.


    Even he only caused one statue to tremble and emit its full radiance back then.


    "Indeed a peerless genius."


    ''Li Qing'' nodded and said, "What does the Martial Temple want us to do?"


    "They want one of us to return and personally teach that genius." The figure on the left said.


    "One of us to return?" Li Qing frowned slightly.


    "Now the battle with the other major domains is at a critical moment. We can''t leave, not even with our primordial spirits."


    "In that case, you reply to the Martial Temple, and say I will personally return to teach the peerless genius in a hundred years."


    Li Qing said.


    She valued Martial Way geniuses, possibly influenced by Lin Yuan back then. Li Qing was willing to give every Martial Way practitioner a chance to progress further.


    "A hundred years?"


    "True, the battle will likely cease by then, and we can all return."


    "In these hundred years, let the peerless genius cultivate on his own. When we return, we will personally guide him."


    The figure on the right said.


    "No problem."


    The figure on the left nodded.


    A hundred years was nothing. The peerless genius might have just begun to understand the Martial Way, and their return would be timely for guidance.


    Time passed by.


    In the blink of an eye, a hundred years had passed since Lin Yuan descended into this world.

 Chapter 254

    Chapter 254


    In an underground world spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, exuding a terrifying aura that caused the space around him to distort slightly.


    "The Martial Way''s eighth-rank chapter has reached the second stage," Lin Yuan restrained his aura and nodded in satisfaction. "The Immortal Dao techniques indeed y a good role in perfecting the eighth-rank chapter."


    "However, starting from the second stage of the eighth-rank chapter, the difficulty of development begins to soar. But with Unrivaled Insight, it''s just a matter of time and effort."


    In Lin Yuan''s n, the eighth-rank chapter of the Martial Way consisted of four stages, simr to the eighth-rank chapters of most evolution paths in the main world.


    But in terms of specific cultivation content, Lin Yuan had done his utmost with his current capabilities. If it were just to create an ordinary eighth-rank evolution path, it wouldn''t have required such painstaking effort.


    But the eighth-rank chapter of the Martial Way was a crucial stage in Lin Yuan''s cultivation, so he couldn''t afford to be careless.


    "My current realm has also naturally advanced to the second stage of the eighth rank."


    If it weren''t for his exposure to the Immortal Dao cultivation system and other cultivation systems in the Spirit Realm, which allowed Lin Yuan to repeatedly reshape the Martial Way''s evolution path, he would have reached this level decades earlier.


    "However, when I returned to the eighth rank, I didn''t re-experience the Heart Demon tribtion, nor did I undergo the body tribtion that Tribtion Immortal Kings need to face."Lin Yuan stroked his chin, deep in thought.


    He spected that the absence of the body tribtion was because it targeted Immortal Dao practitioners.


    Although Lin Yuan had borrowed a lot from the essence of the Immortal Dao cultivation system, his foundation remained the Martial Way''s evolution path, so he didn''t need to face the body tribtion that Immortal Dao practitioners did.


    As for the Heart Demon tribtion, Lin Yuan believed his mind and will had long since transformed and no longer needed to experience it again.


    "I have over nine hundred years of residence time, and only a hundred years have passed so far. I still have ample time to perfect the next three stages of the eighth-rank chapter."


    Lin Yuan was quite confident about this.


    "Once the eighth-rank chapter is perfected, the Martial Way''s evolution path will be an eighth-rank evolution path. It will probably rank highly among all eighth-rank evolution paths in human history."


    Lin Yuan stood up, walked out of the underground world, and came to the surface.


    This underground world was discovered by Lin Yuan by chance over ny years ago, probably a relic of some ancient sect.


    Later, Lin Yuan transformed it into a ce for his regr cultivation.


    "Space."


    Lin Yuan took a step, following the fluctuations of space, and almost instantly arrived outside Xiaoyao City.


    The underground world where Lin Yuan cultivated was at least tens of millions of miles away from Xiaoyao City, but with his mastery of spatial rules, it was just a single step away.


    Over the past century, besides restoring his strength and perfecting the eighth-rank chapter of the Martial Way, Lin Yuan had never given up onprehending the rules of space.


    Currently, Lin Yuan hadprehended over four thousand core spatial models, and his internal world had expanded to a size of four million miles in diameter.


    This four million miles in diameter was purely the size of his internal world, fully supported by spatial rules.


    It had not been amplified by that mysterious gourd from the main world.


    Based on the fivefold basic amplification before transmigrating, Lin Yuan''s internal world should now be twenty million miles in diameter.


    A twenty million miles in diameter internal world far exceeded the human evolvers'' upper limit of ten million miles for internal worlds.


    The world power born from such a vast internal world could probably rival the power of an invincible eighth-rank for several moves.


    "I can bring that mysterious gourd over now." Lin Yuan thought silently as he walked into Xiaoyao City.


    A hundred years ago, Lin Yuan''s strength was insufficient, so he didn''t bring that mysterious gourd over, fearing any unforeseen incidents.


    But now? Even when facing the Tribtion Immortal Kings overlooking the Spirit Realm, Lin Yuan was fearless.


    "This time, the reformed physical divine ability..."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts turned to the sixth-rank chapter of the Martial Way, which condenses physical divine abilities from the bloodline.


    Different physiques and bloodlines naturally produce different physical divine abilities.


    In the Immortal World, Lin Yuan''s physical divine ability was ''Blood Rebirth.''


    On his true body in the main world, Lin Yuan''s physical divine ability was ''Moving Mountains.''


    And now, on his physical body in the Spirit Realm after the eighth transmigration, Lin Yuan''s condensed physical divine ability was ''Enhancement.''


    Once the ''Enhancement'' divine ability was activated, everything about Lin Yuan¡ªhis physical body, blood, soul, mind, and will¡ªwould increase tenfold.


    Even the world power within his internal world would be amplified tenfold.


    Although the ''Enhancement'' divine ability didn''tst long, only for ten breaths, and Lin Yuan''s strength would weaken by about two or three tenths after the divine ability ended.


    But undoubtedly, this divine ability was definitely a trump card.


    In a battle between strong opponents, an instant could decide victory or defeat, let alone ten breaths?


    Moreover, the tenfold increase in physical body, blood, soul, mind, and will would affect his strength far more than just tenfold.


    With this divine ability, even an ordinary peak eighth-rank evolver could challenge an invincible eighth-rank.


    Of course, it could only challenge an invincible eighth-rank during the divine ability''s duration, but it was still remarkable, almost like a substitute for the power of the universe.


    The most crucial point was that the ''Enhancement'' divine ability would be more useful as his strength grew. An eighth-rank peak could use this divine ability to match an invincible eighth-rank for ten breaths.


    What about a ninth-rank evolver?


    "In the uing time, besides perfecting the Martial Way''s evolution path, the primary task is toprehend this divine ability and condense the divine ability mark."


    Lin Yuan had a n in mind.


    Only by condensing the divine ability mark could he bring this divine ability back to the main world. He remembered it took him fifty years toprehend the ''Blood Rebirth'' divine ability mark.


    As for the ''Moving Mountains'' divine ability, the time in the main world was too short, and Lin Yuan had yet toprehend the ''Moving Mountains'' divine ability mark.


    Returning to the Martial Temple.


    Shortly after.


    Several Supreme Elders came over.


    "Elders."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    Over the past century, the Supreme Elders of the Martial Temple had treated Lin Yuan well, almost grooming him as the future of the Martial Temple.


    If it weren''t for the Martial Temple''s support in the early stages, Lin Yuan would have reached his current level eventually, but it would have taken much more time.


    Immortal Dao practitioners need resources.


    Martial Way practitioners also need resources.


    Especially at the sixth and seventh ranks, opening up the internal world consumes resources like mountains and seas.


    "Chang''er, this is the Immortal Dao technique you wanted." The Grand Supreme Elder took out several jade slips, and a trace of involuntary awe appeared in his eyes as he looked at Lin Yuan.


    As early as seventy or eighty years ago, the Supreme Elders could no longer see through Lin Yuan.


    Lin Yuan had already browsed through all the countless Martial Way books collected by the Martial Temple. Although they hadn''t directly fought, every time they interacted closely with Lin Yuan, they felt an inexplicable sense of trepidation.


    This feeling disappeared sixty years ago, but they didn''t dare to underestimate Lin Yuan.


    They only felt that Lin Yuan might have reached the level of returning to simplicity. The seventh-rank Martial Ancestors were like this.


    Unless they intentionally revealed their aura, they looked no different from ordinary people.


    "The Supreme Jade Purity Immortal Scripture, the core technique of the Supreme Immortal Sect?" Lin Yuan became interested.


    In recent decades, Lin Yuan had asked the Supreme Elders to collect Immortal Dao techniques as much as possible.


    Although the Supreme Elders didn''t understand why a Martial Way practitioner like Lin Yuan needed Immortal Dao techniques.


    But Lin Yuan''s disyed talent was so terrifying that they had no doubts.


    Lin Yuan quickly browsed through the ''Supreme Jade Purity Immortal Scripture'' and nodded slightly.


    "Although it ends after the Divine Transformation Stage (5th rank), the Supreme Immortal King, who created this scripture, did indeed produce something valuable."


    Lin Yuan''s tone was slightly admiring.


    Even among Tribtion Immortal Kings, there are levels, and Supreme Immortal Kings are top-tier among them. Lin Yuan guessed that Supreme Immortal Kings might correspond to the invincible eighth-rank in the main world.


    "The Supreme Immortal Sect had intended to spread the Supreme Jade Purity Immortal Scripture and allow other cultivators to practice it. Otherwise, we wouldn''t have obtained it."


    The Grand Supreme Elder nodded.


    The Supreme Immortal Sect''s purpose was clear¡ªto search the three thousand states for suitable Immortal Dao talents to practice the Supreme Jade Purity Immortal Scripture.


    The scattered Immortal Scripture only included the Qi Refining Stage to the Divine Transformation Stage.


    Even if a free Immortal Dao practitioner managed to get started, the only way to progress further was to go to the Supreme Immortal Sect.


    "Chang''er..."


    The Grand Supreme Elder hesitated for a while but finally asked.


    "What is your current realm? The seventh rank of the Martial Way?"


    The Grand Supreme Elder asked cautiously.


    Reaching the seventh rank of the Martial Way in just a hundred years was something the Grand Supreme Elder couldn''t believe before.


    But Lin Yuan''s performance over the past century had made the Supreme Elders consider this possibility.


    They were all at the sixth rank of the Martial Way, and to give them such an oppressive feeling, Lin Yuan was likely at the seventh rank.


    "My current realm?"


    Lin Yuan smiled slightly.


    The other Supreme Elders also instinctively pricked up their ears.


    They were also curious about Lin Yuan''s current strength.


    "No."


    Lin Yuan shook his head.


    Sixty years ago, he was no longer at the seventh rank of the Martial Way.


    "Not the seventh rank?" The Grand Supreme Elder breathed a sigh of relief, feeling aplex mix of emotions.


    He hoped Lin Yuan was at the seventh rank because it would mean the Martial Way''s evolution path had produced another seventh-rank ancestor, and the Martial Temple''s influence would further expand.


    But rationally, the Grand Supreme Elder didn''t believe that Lin Yuan could reach the seventh rank in just a hundred years; it was too unbelievable.


    Now, with Lin Yuan''s confirmation, the Supreme Elders had no more doubts.


    From beginning to end.


    Neither the Grand Supreme Elder nor the other Supreme Elders had considered that Lin Yuan might be at the eighth rank of the Martial Way.


    Because it was simply absurd. Since the Martial Way''s evolution path was created, the strongest had been at the seventh rank, equivalent to the Dao Fusion level of the Immortal Dao.


    The eighth rank of the Martial Way? Even the legendary Martial Ancestor had never reached it, let alone someone like Lin Yuan, who had only cultivated for a hundred years.


    "Not the seventh rank, then it''s the sixth rank."


    "Reaching the sixth rank in a hundred years, such cultivation speed is unprecedented in our Martial Temple''s history." The Grand Supreme Elder thought silently.


    In hundreds of thousands of years, countless Martial Way geniuses had shed across the sky, but none had reached the sixth rank in just a hundred years.


    The sixth rank of the Martial Way corresponds to the Ancient Saint of the Void Refinement stage in the Immortal Dao. A hundred-year Void Refinement Ancient Saint is only something that those monstrous talents and Immortal King seeds in the Immortal Dao could hope to achieve.


    After the Supreme Elders left.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged in his cave.


    "My current strength..." Lin Yuan began to examine himself. With his various means, even without the amplification of an internal world exceeding ten million miles, hisbat power was close to invincible at the eighth rank.


    If he used the ''Enhancement'' divine ability, for ten breaths, Lin Yuan''sbat power would likely surpass the invincible eighth rank by a considerable margin.


    "I still don''t know what the power of creation wielded by Immortal King-level experts is exactly." Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Through years of understanding, Lin Yuan roughly determined that Tribtion Immortal Kings didn''t have an internal world.


    They relied on the power of creation. Ordinary Immortals wield part of the power of creation, while Supreme Immortal Kings wield theplete power of creation.


    "Unfortunately, there are no Immortal King-level experts in Dongyun Dao State."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. Even among the three thousand Dao states, Immortal King-level experts were extremely rare. At least, there were none in Dongyun Dao State.


    Otherwise, Lin Yuan would likely seek out one or two Immortal Kings for a test.


    As for beyond Dongyun Dao State, the distance was too great. Even with Lin Yuan''s mastery of spatial rules, allowing him to traverse millions or tens of millions of miles in one step, reaching the next Dao state would still take a considerable amount of time.


    With that time, Lin Yuan might as well spend more time in seclusion.


    As for finding Tribtion Immortal Kings in other Dao states, it was uncertain whether he could even find them.


    "I can bring that gourd over now."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. With his current strength, he was invincible within the Dongyun Dao State. Even if there were hidden Tribtion Immortal Kings, they would probably be no match for Lin Yuan.


    So he now had the power to protect that mysterious gourd.


    Buzz.


    With this in mind.


    Lin Yuan''s mind sank into the depths of his consciousness.


    Looking at the majestic and grand Gate of the Myriad Realms.


    "Transmigrating dimensions, crossingtitudes, it''s unimaginable."


    Even after watching the Gate of the Myriad Realms more than once, Lin Yuan still felt a sense of awe.


    When he first became an evolver, Lin Yuan looked at the Gate of the Myriad Realms and felt its grandeur and vastness. But now, he saw it as a colossal entity spanning infinite worlds.


    "In the past hundred years, everything in the main world has been normal, with nothing significant happening."


    Lin Yuan sensed the environment of his true body in the main world through the Gate of the Myriad Realms.


    "Let''s begin."


    Lin Yuan''s mind moved, consuming a strand of Boundary-Breaking Source Power to start transporting the mysterious gourd from the main world to this ce.


    tter.


    At the center of the Gate of the Myriad Realms, spatial fluctuations faintly appeared.


    These spatial fluctuations were profound and far-reaching, exuding endless mystery.


    Lin Yuan carefully sensed this method of trans-dimensional transmission. With his Unrivaled Insight, he mightprehend something new by sensing it a bit longer.


    Momentster.


    The spatial fluctuations gradually subsided.


    A gray-yellow gourd slowly emerged.


    Landing in Lin Yuan''s hand.

 Chapter 255

    Chapter 255


    "Gourd."


    Lin Yuan looked at the gray-yellow gourd in his palm.


    The moment it touched Lin Yuan''s palm, the originally gray-yellow gourd instantly turnedpletely gray, looking like an ordinary gourd.


    "It can actually sense whether I''ve absorbed the liquid inside."


    Lin Yuan was slightly surprised.


    Based on his experience using the gourd, the color on its surface depended on the user''s absorption of the liquid inside.


    For example, in the main world, when Lin Yuan absorbed the orange liquid, the gourd''s surface color changed from gray to gray-yellow.


    "Let''s begin."


    Lin Yuan''s expression became solemn.The liquid inside the gray gourd greatly increased hisbat power.


    Especially for the enhancement of his inner world. Currently, Lin Yuan''s inner world had reached four million miles in radius. If he could restore the enhancement to the level of the main world.


    His inner world would expand to twenty million miles in radius.


    And this was just the enhancement from the orange liquid. There were still five different colored liquids for further enhancement.


    Lin Yuan couldn''t imagine how his inner world would grow once hepletely absorbed all seven colored liquids.


    "First, a blood drop to confirm qualification."


    Lin Yuan focused his thoughts and dropped a bit of blood onto the gourd''s surface.


    Only creatures whose blood contained the ''power of rebirth'' could activate the gourd.


    For Lin Yuan, this ''power of rebirth'' was the aura of the divine ability ''Blood Rebirth.''


    Lin Yuan had alreadyprehended the divine ability mark of this skill and had replicated it onto his current body over the past century.


    Swoosh.


    The bloodline verification passed.


    Lin Yuan immediately noticed the gourd beginning to change.


    "Red liquid."


    He tilted the gourd, and soon, red liquid gathered.


    Lin Yuan started absorbing it without hesitation.


    Time passed.


    Several years went by in the blink of an eye.


    Compared to the previous hundred years, a few years passed almost instantaneously.


    In the Martial Temple''s cave mansion.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his inner world vast and mighty, reaching twenty-six million miles in radius.


    It should be known that the limit for human civilization evolvers was about ten million miles in radius. This was a racial limitation, with almost no possibility of breaking through.


    Yet Lin Yuan''s inner world had easily reached twenty-six million miles in radius. If this were known to the Human Civilization Alliance in the main world, it might prompt action from the strongest ones.


    Such a method to achieve a higher racial limit, even for the strongest ones, would require a tremendous price. But the liquid in the gourd could easily aplish this?


    Inner world.


    Lin Yuan''s form condensed.


    "Such immense world power..."


    Lin Yuan was somewhat mesmerized. In the main world, his inner world barely reached ten million miles in radius, still within the upper limit for human evolvers'' inner worlds.


    But now, the inner world of twenty-six million miles in radius contained such abundant world power that it made Lin Yuan''s heart tremble.


    The difference between ten million miles and twenty million miles in radius was far more than just double.


    "Eighth Rank Invincible. With my current strength, even without using the ''Enhancement'' divine ability, I should have reached the level of Eighth Rank Invincible." Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Theoretically, an inner world of tens of millions of miles in radius could possibly rival the Eighth Rank Invincible.


    But that was only with an inner world of tens of millions of miles in radius. The sheer magnitude of world power alone would be enough to contend with the cosmic powerprehended by the Eighth Rank Invincible.


    Although Lin Yuan''s current inner world was only over twenty million miles in radius, he had many other methods.


    His overallbat power was already no less than a normal Eighth Rank Invincible.


    "But..."


    Lin Yuan looked up slightly, gazing towards the sky.


    There, a sphereposed entirely of Yin and Yang power was suspended.


    Since Lin Yuan re-entered the Seventh Rank and developed his inner world, theplete Yin and Yang rules had manifested in his inner world and began to merge.


    This was the scene before him.


    Forming a sphere entirelyposed of Yin and Yang, suspended there.


    Lin Yuan could feel that within the sphere, as the Yin and Yang rules merged, they began to transform and leap.


    So he did not interfere much.


    "It should be almostplete."


    Lin Yuan carefully sensed it. Inside the sphere, every transformation of the Yin and Yang rules waspleted naturally. Lin Yuan could interfere, but he knew that it was best to observe quietly at this moment.


    "Could it really be birthing a new rule ¨C the Tai Chi rule?"


    Lin Yuan spected in his mind.


    The Tao of Tai Chi was a path Lin Yuan created. Unlike the rules of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, light, and thunder that already existed in the universe, the Tao of Tai Chi and its rule had never appeared before in the main world or any other worlds.


    In Xiaoyao City.


    A luxurious manor.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared there.


    "Chang''er, you''re here?" Shen Zhen was watering flowers in the manor. Seeing Lin Yuan, she immediately called out joyfully.


    Lin Jianping was cultivating. Hearing Shen Zhen''s joyful call, he immediately came out, opening the door to see Lin Yuan as well.


    "Chang''er, you haven''te by for a long time." Lin Jianping said with a smile, "What''s the matter? Is there a lot to do at the Martial Temple?"


    "Not much." Lin Yuan shook his head.


    The matters of the Martial Temple were not managed by him. Even the elders would not interfere in the trivial matters of the temple.


    But during cultivation, it was normal to be in seclusion for a few years asionally.


    Lin Yuan usually visited his parents after each seclusion.


    "Chang''er, you work too hard. Whether it''s cultivation or anything else, you should take breaks. It might yield better results." Shen Zhen said quickly.


    Lin Jianping alsoughed, "Yes, son. Look at us, we''re already enjoying life. The affairs of the trade association are all handled by our subordinates. With you backing us, who would dare not to work diligently?"


    In recent years, Lin Jianping had livedfortably. His son had be a prominent figure in the Martial Temple, and the influential families in Xiaoyao City were eager to give him money and gifts.


    "Did you eat the two fruits I sentst time?" Lin Yuan asked casually.


    Those two fruits could extend life and improve constitution. They had no effect on Lin Yuan but could almost transform his low-level cultivator parents.


    "I ate one and felt decades younger. Son, do you have more of those fruits?" Lin Jianping asked, interested.


    "What nonsense. Such immortal fruits are treasures even in the Martial Temple. Do you want to put your son in a difficult position? Isn''t one enough?" Shen Zhen immediately protested.


    They still didn''t know Lin Yuan''s exact position in the Martial Temple, only that it was significant.


    This was because the elders had deliberately hidden Lin Yuan''s identity. For the Martial Temple, having an unparalleled genius was not good news for other forces.


    So until Lin Yuan fully matured, his information would be sealed.


    "I''m just asking."


    Lin Jianping knew the value of such immortal fruits.


    "If you want more, I''ll bring some next time." Lin Yuan smiled slightly.


    With his near Eighth Rank Invincible strength, picking a few life-extending fruits was a trivial task.


    At the edge of the Xuan King Domain.


    Three Martial Dao Seventh Rank experts gathered again.


    "This campaign is almost over. We can finally go back." One of the Seventh Rank Martial Dao experts said.


    His name was Shan Yang, born in the Spirit Realm, who fortunately joined the Martial Temple. With the temple''s cultivation, he spent nearly ten thousand years to reach the Seventh Rank in Martial Dao.


    Shan Yang was very grateful to the Martial Temple. With his talent, without the temple, he would have lived no more than a hundred years like ordinary people.


    There was no way he could have the terrifying strength he had now,parable to true immortals.


    "This time we can have a good rest." Another Seventh Rank Martial Dao expert said with emotion.


    During the campaign for the Daoist Immortal Sect, they had to fight against Dao Fusion experts frequently. Even for Seventh Rank experts, this was exhausting.


    "I heard the Martial Temple epted an unparalleled genius? When we return, we should spend some time guiding him, hoping to nurture another Seventh Rank for our Martial Dao."


    Li Qing said.


    As a being who ascended from the lower realm and received guidance from the legendary Martial Ancestor.


    Li Qing had reached the peak of the Seventh Rank. If there was no further path, she would have attempted the ultimate Eighth Rank long ago.


    "Haha, I won''t forget that."


    Shan Yangughed, "When we return to the Martial Temple, I n to take that kid to roam the Nine Heavens of the Spirit Realm and sense its vast aura."


    "Learning from the Spirit Realm."


    "A good method."


    Li Qing nodded.


    Although she didn''t know much about the unparalleled genius of the Martial Temple, learning from the Spirit Realm was never wrong. The vast Spirit Realm had nurtured countless strong beings.


    Roaming the Nine Heavens of the Spirit Realm, even for their Seventh Rank Martial Dao experts, could sometimes bring insights.


    "I just hope that kid can handle it. The aura of the Nine Heavens is not something ordinary people can endure."


    Shan Yang thought again.


    "If he can''t handle it, take it slowly."


    "Don''t push him too hard."


    Li Qing reminded.


    "Don''t worry, Li Ancestor, I know my limits."


    Shan Yang said with a smile.


    Once he saw that the kid couldn''t bear it, he would stop immediately.


    "I have prepared three Azure Sky Elixirs." Another Seventh Rank Martial Dao expert said.


    His name was Nie Yun, also born in the Spirit Realm, who entered the Seventh Rank of Martial Dao two thousand years ago.


    "Azure Sky Elixirs? These are foundational divine elixirs for those below the Sixth Rank. It must not have been easy to refine them." Shan Yang was slightly surprised.


    "Difficult or not, they must be refined."


    "For the prosperity of our Martial Dao."


    Nie Yun said solemnly.


    Although the Martial Dao cultivation system currently had three Seventh Rank ancestors.


    Compared to the ancient sects that had been around for millions of years, it was still far behind.


    For instance, the Daoist Immortal Sect could easily crush the current Martial Temple.


    The Daoist Immortal Sect had dozens of Dao Fusion experts, with more than five at the peak of the Dao Fusion experts.


    More importantly, the Daoist Immortal Sect''s Immortal Path cultivation had the potential to advance to the Tribtion Stage.


    Just this potential made the Martial Dao cultivation system weak.


    "For the prosperity of our Martial Dao."


    Li Qing became solemn and said each word carefully.


    She vaguely remembered it was Lin Yuan who saved her in the East Sea and taught her Martial Dao.


    So Li Qing had long made Lin Yuan''s aspirations her own, which was to spread the Martial Dao cultivation system.


    It was the same in the Immortal World.


    Now in the vast Spirit Realm, Li Qing still made it her lifelong goal.


    Martial Temple.


    Inside the cave mansion.


    Lin Yuan continued trying to absorb the orange liquid.


    Boom.


    Terrifying mes burned within his body, counteracting the power of rebirth generated by the ''Blood Rebirth,'' and eventually, Lin Yuan''s body copsed.


    Soon after.


    Lin Yuan was reborn from a drop of blood and returned.


    "It will still take some time topletely absorb the orange liquid."


    Lin Yuan steadied himself and slowly calmed the pain from absorbing the orange liquid.


    So far, his inner world had received a 5.2 times increase. Once hepletely absorbed the orange liquid, it would reach a 6.66 times increase.


    By then, his inner world would be nearly twenty-six million miles.


    "Let''s take a break first."


    Lin Yuan did not immediately resume absorbing the orange liquid.


    Although the mysterious gourd''s liquid could continuously enhance his physical strength and inner world.


    It also increasingly wore down his spirit and will. Each time Lin Yuan absorbed it, he had to rest for several hours.


    "Hmm?"


    "The Grand Elder is looking for me?"


    "The three ancestors have returned?"


    Lin Yuan suddenly received a message from the Grand Elder.


    "The three Martial Dao Seventh Rank, Li Qing..." Lin Yuan recalled Li Qing''s appearance.


    When his Sun Primordial Spirit roamed the East Sea, he saw a vige on an ind being ughtered by beasts and saved it.


    Li Qing came from that vige.


    Later, Lin Yuan discovered Li Qing had a good aptitude for Martial Dao and took her to White Jade Ind.


    "Let''s go have a look."


    Lin Yuan got up and walked out of the cave mansion, heading towards the Martial Temple''s main hall.


    At this moment in the main hall.


    Several elders stood respectfully.


    Three figures sat in the main seats.


    They were the three Seventh Rank ancestors of the Martial Temple.


    They were Li Qing, Shan Yang, and Nie Yun.


    "Ancestors, we have informed Lin Chang." The Grand Elder said respectfully.


    "Hmm, understood."


    Shan Yang nodded, "When we meet, I will take him to roam the Nine Heavens immediately."


    The Nine Heavens of the Spirit Realm, strictly speaking, were in different spatialyers, each with incredible scenes, either manifesting external rules or revealing the essence of the world.


    For lower-level cultivators, going to the Nine Heavens was a great opportunity.


    However, the Nine Heavens were not easy to enter. Generally, only Dao Fusion experts could roam there.


    As for bringing someone along? Whether it was a Dao Fusion expert or a Seventh Rank, taking a junior to the Nine Heavens required a significant price.


    And the time was limited.


    Soon.


    As the three Seventh Rank ancestors waited.


    Lin Yuan appeared and walked into the main hall.


    "Goodd."


    Shan Yang scrutinized Lin Yuan andughed, "Ancestor will give you a great opportunity now,e roam the Nine Heavens with me."


    After saying this, Shan Yang''s figure disappeared from the spot.


    When he reappeared, he stood beside Lin Yuan.


    Immediately.


    Shan Yang grabbed Lin Yuan''s shoulder, intending to soar into the Nine Heavens.


    However.


    The next moment.


    Shan Yang''s expression froze.


    His right hand, which was on Lin Yuan''s shoulder, trembled slightly.


    He looked at Lin Yuan as if he had seen a ghost.


    Why is he so heavy?

 Chapter 256

    Chapter 256


    As a Martial Dao Seventh Rank with a powerful physique, Shan Yang could easily lift a towering divine mountain tens of thousands of feet high.


    And this was purely physical strength. If he used other means, Shan Yang''s power would increase even more.


    This was the difference between Martial Dao and Immortal Dao. Immortal Dao cultivators focused on the "spirit." From the Golden Core stage, Nascent Soul stage, and Divine Transformation stage, most of their cultivation centered on the "spirit."


    Martial Dao was different. Although Martial Dao could condense a primordial spirit, it still took the physical body as its foundation, with vast and boundless energy and blood.


    However, at this moment, Shan Yang was astonished.


    He grabbed Lin Yuan''s right hand but couldn''t lift him at all.


    Heavy! Heavy! Incredibly heavy! It was as if he was not holding a person but an entire world.


    But how was this possible?


    Could a person be as heavy as a world?Shan Yang''s thoughts were muddled, and he couldn''t react for a while.


    He even wondered if his strength had declined.


    "Want to lift me?"


    Lin Yuan nced at Shan Yang.


    His expression was slightly peculiar.


    How heavy was he?


    Not to mention his physical body.


    As a Martial Dao Eighth Rank, his body had been enhanced five or six times by the mysterious gourd.


    Every drop of his blood, every hair, by the main world''s standards, weighed more than ten thousand tons.


    The weight of his body was actually the smaller part.


    The key was the world inside Lin Yuan, spanning twenty-six million miles in radius.


    This world existed within Lin Yuan. Although it didn''t show on the surface, it didn''t mean it wasn''t there.


    Normally, Lin Yuan bnced the world''s power within him with the gravity of the spirit world.


    But it was just a bnce.


    If someone wanted to lift Lin Yuan, they would need the strength to lift a world spanning twenty-six million miles in radius.


    And how heavy was a world of twenty-six million miles in radius? Probably heavier than several starsbined.


    Compared to Lin Yuan''s peculiar expression, Shan Yang quickly realized.


    It wasn''t that his strength had declined, but that the person he considered a "youngster," Lin Yuan, was too heavy.


    Too heavy to believe.


    Too heavy to exceed his strength limits.


    So even with all his strength, he couldn''t budge Lin Yuan at all.


    Not far away,


    Li Qing and Nie Yun looked at Lin Yuan and Shan Yang, who were stuck in a stalemate.


    From their perspective, Lin Yuan stood quietly while Shan Yang''s right hand grasped Lin Yuan''s shoulder, initially trying to soar but suddenly stopped.


    The next moment, Shan Yang abruptly retreated, like a frightened rabbit, stopping beside Li Qing and Nie Yun, staring at Lin Yuan with intense seriousness.


    "Who exactly are you?"


    This scene left Li Qing and Nie Yun baffled.


    Then they quickly understood.


    Li Qing observed Lin Yuan carefully, realizing she couldn''t see through him. The aura Lin Yuan emitted was wless, revealing nothing to her.


    For a moment, the two Martial Dao Seventh Ranks sensed the gravity of the situation.


    The power of blood and energy began to spread, instantly enveloping the entire Martial Temple and Xiaoyao City.


    "Who am I?"


    Lin Yuan chuckled softly, then said, "You don''t need to take me to the Nine Heavens. Over the years, my Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit have been cultivating there."


    The Nine Heavens of the Immortal World was the battleground for ancient saints in the Void Refining stage.


    In the spirit realm, there was also a Nine Heavens, more mysterious than that of the Immortal World, containing numerous "treasures" that guided the understanding of the world''s essence.


    So, decades ago, Lin Yuan sent his Yang Spirit and Yin Spirit to the Nine Heavens toprehend it.


    "Cultivating in the Nine Heavens?"


    Shan Yang and Nie Yun exchanged nces, feeling even more pressured.


    Only Seventh Ranks or Dao Fusion Immortals could enter the Nine Heavens, and even then, only briefly.


    Staying too long, the pressure from the Nine Heavens would be unbearable for Seventh Ranks or Dao Fusion Immortals.


    As for cultivating there? Only Tribtion Stage Immortal Kings could use the Nine Heavens as a cultivation ground.


    Of course, if it was just a short-term cultivation, like a few months or years, peak Dao Fusion Immortals might manage.


    At this moment, the two Martial Dao Seventh Ranks couldn''t gauge Lin Yuan''s strength or his purpose in infiltrating the Martial Temple.


    "Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit?"


    Li Qing looked at Lin Yuan, somewhat dazed.


    Over hundreds of thousands of years, countless Martial Dao practitioners had emerged.


    And those who reached the Fifth Rank and condensed the Martial Dao primordial spirit were numerous.


    However, among the Fifth Rank practitioners, those who condensed Yin and Yang Spirits were rare, and in Li Qing''s memory, only one person did.


    Yin and Yang Spirits signified the simultaneous cultivation of two opposite forces, with any mistake leading to eternal doom.


    To fuse Yin and Yang and then condense Yin and Yang Spirits, only Li Qing''s master, the Martial Ancestor, had ever done it.


    Beside them, Nie Yun and Shan Yang were indecisive, unsure whether to act.


    If they did, they were not confident. Shan Yang couldn''t move Lin Yuan despite his full strength, indicating Lin Yuan''s power was nearly at the Tribtion Stage.


    With theirbined strength, even with Li Qing at her peak, they wouldn''t gain much and might evenpletely antagonize Lin Yuan.


    But if they didn''t act...


    Nie Yun and Shan Yang looked at Li Qing, deciding to let her decide.


    However, as they looked at Li Qing, they saw her expression constantly changing, staring at Lin Yuan with a look of hesitation.


    "What''s going on?"


    Nie Yun and Shan Yang were puzzled.


    "Little Li, you haven''t changed after all these years." Lin Yuan smiled slightly, looking at Li Qing.


    Upon hearing this, Li Qing''s eyes reddened, nearly losing control of her emotions, instinctively uttering two words, "Master."


    Hundreds of thousands of years had passed, and only Lin Yuan had ever called her that.


    Li Qing almost forgot she had such a "nickname."


    "Tell me"


    "What has happened over these years."


    Lin Yuan casually found a seat and sat down. In the past century, he had mostly been cultivating, learning much about the spirit world and the Daoist Immortal Sect through the Martial Temple.


    But Li Qing, as a peak Seventh Rank, knew more details.


    "Ah?"


    Nie Yun and Shan Yang were even more confused.


    What happened? Why did Li Qing call Lin Yuan "Master"? Master? In an instant, an inconceivable thought emerged in the minds of the two Martial Dao Seventh Ranks.


    Li Qing''s master was the legendary Martial Ancestor.


    Could this young man be the Martial Ancestor?


    But how was this possible?


    Wasn''t the Martial Ancestor said to have disappeared long ago?


    "Don''t just stand there, sit down." Lin Yuan nced at Li Qing, Nie Yun, and Shan Yang, and said casually.


    Immediately, an invisible force appeared.


    Nie Yun and Shan Yang instinctively sat down.


    Li Qing also gently sat down.


    "This power?" Nie Yun and Shan Yang were shocked.


    Facing this invisible force, they had no ability to resist, and their proud Martial Dao energy and blood seemed ineffective.


    "Martial Ancestor."


    "This is the Martial Ancestor."


    Nie Yun and Shan Yang were shaken. Lin Yuan''s presence felt far more powerful than the Daoist Immortal Sect''s Cang Qing Immortal, who was half a step away from the Tribtion Stage.


    "Master."


    "You''re finally back." Li Qing''s eyes were moist. For hundreds of thousands of years, she had never stopped searching for Lin Yuan.


    The Daoist Immortal Sect imed Lin Yuan had never ascended to the Spirit Realm through the Ascension tform and might have entered the Spirit Realm through the chaotic void flows.


    But this method was highly uncertain and would rarelynd in Dongyun State, or even within the Three Thousand States.


    The Spirit Realm was vast and boundless, with the Three Thousand States being just a part, and much more was deste.


    "Master?"


    "Li Qing calls him Master?"


    The elders standing respectfully were in turmoil.


    Even though they had highly regarded Lin Yuan, they never thought he would be Li Qing''s Master. How was this possible?


    "Martial Ancestor, Chang''er is the Martial Ancestor."


    The Grand Elder''s mind trembled.


    Although the current scene seemed unbelievable, how could Lin Chang be rted to the Martial Ancestor? But Li Qing would not lie.


    As the personal disciple of the legendary Martial Ancestor, Li Qing knew him well and wouldn''t mistake him.


    "I once thought Chang''er was born for Martial Dao"


    The Grand Elder''s scalp tingled. Such praise for any Martial Dao practitioner was a heartfelt recognition.


    But if it was for the Martial Ancestor, it was not praise but sphemy.


    Born for Martial Dao?


    Totally wrong.


    The entire Martial Dao existed because of the Martial Ancestor.


    "I encountered some things, so I came now." Lin Yuan exined briefly.


    Li Qing and the others didn''t doubt much. The Spirit Realm was vast and mysterious, even a Tribtion Stage Immortal King could be trapped for thousands or hundreds of thousands of years in certain traps.


    As for why the Martial Ancestor returned as Lin Chang, Li Qing didn''t doubt it. True Immortals at the Dao Fusion Stage had the means for reincarnation, a powerful life-saving method.


    However, no matter how many times one reincarnated, the soul''s lifespan wouldn''t increase. True Immortals lived for hundreds of thousands of years, but once the soul''s lifespan limit was reached, reincarnation was useless.


    To extend their lifespan, they had to attempt the Tribtion and be an Immortal King.


    "It''s good that Master is back."


    "Nothing else matters." Li Qing was joyful. Through this brief exchange, she was certain that Lin Yuan was her Master, the Martial Ancestor of the Immortal World.


    His manner of speaking confirmed it. Li Qing rarely shared information about Lin Yuan, and many habits and details were known only to her.


    "Master, six thousand years after you disappeared, I followed your guidance and reached the Martial Dao Sixth Rank."


    "Soon after, I ascended to the spirit world through the Daoist Immortal Sect''s Ascension tform."


    Li Qing began recounting her experiences.


    "After ascending to the spirit realm, Immortal Cang Qing kept his promise and even designated a city for spreading Martial Dao."


    Li Qing spoke of Immortal Cang Qing with gratitude.


    Without Immortal Cang Qing and the Daoist Immortal Sect''s protection, she, a Sixth Rank Martial Dao practitioner equivalent to the Void Refining stage, would have struggled to gain a foothold in the spirit realm without serving a power for thousands of years.


    To repay Immortal Cang Qing, Li Qing joined the Daoist Immortal Sect and fought for them.


    Of course, the Daoist Immortal Sect provided ample rewards, allowing Li Qing to grow quickly during the wars in the Xuan King Domain and other regions.


    Finally, she followed one of the twelve paths left by Lin Yuan and advanced to the Seventh Rank.


    After reaching the Seventh Rank, Li Qing gained the right to advance or retreat. As a peer of True Immortal, she became a high-ranking member of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    Thus, Li Qing led the Xiaoyao City Martial Temple in a cooperative rtionship with the Daoist Immortal Sect,sting until today.


    Li Qing fought for the Daoist Immortal Sect, and the sect protected Xiaoyao City and provided ample rewards. Her progress to the peak of the Seventh Rank was partly due to the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    "Were you the only one to reach the Seventh Rank among the disciples?"


    Lin Yuan asked.


    He remembered having hundreds of direct disciples.


    Several had the potential to reach the Seventh Rank.


    "Only me. Those junior brothers and sisters fell during their breakthroughs." Li Qing said sadly.


    Advancing to the Seventh Rank was not smooth sailing, especially since Lin Yuan hadn''t perfected the Seventh Rank at the time, leaving only a hypothesis.


    Lin Yuan''s breakthrough was due to his strong foundation and Unrivaled Insight, making it as easy as eating or drinking.


    But others? Li Qing was rtively lucky.


    Supported by the Daoist Immortal Sect, she managed to advance to the Seventh Rank.


    Others weren''t as fortunate.


    Even in the main world, evolvers advancing from the Sixth to the Seventh Rank faced great risks.


    This was withplete evolutionary paths and guidance from higher-level evolvers.


    In other worlds, it was even more so.


    "These two are disciples I valued in the spirit realm. Theyter advanced to the Seventh Rank." Li Qing introduced Nie Yun and Shan Yang.


    "Greetings, Martial Ancestor."


    "Greetings, Martial Ancestor."


    Nie Yun and Shan Yang were a bit reserved. Since childhood, they had heard many legends about the Martial Ancestor from Li Qing.


    To them, the Martial Ancestor was almost mythical, creating the Martial Dao evolution path, making the Daoist Immortal Sect submit, and negotiating with Immortal Cang Qing.


    But now, the revered Martial Ancestor was before them, filling their hearts with awe and respect.


    Especially Shan Yang, who nearly fought the Martial Ancestor earlier, feeling somewhat fearful.


    "Hmm."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    He didn''t view these two Martial Dao juniors differently. As long as they practiced Martial Dao, they could be considered his disciples.


    "What about my elder brother, elder sister, and parents?"


    Lin Yuan asked Li Qing.


    Li Qing had a high status in the Daoist Immortal Sect and likely knew about Jun Dongjin, Mu Lian''er, and others.

 Chapter 257

    Chapter 257


    "Master''s parents and rtives have not broken through to the Dao Fusion Stage" Li Qing hesitated for a moment before saying softly.


    Without breaking through to the Dao Fusion Stage, relying on the longevity of the Void Refinement Stage, at most, they could live for only a hundred or two hundred thousand years.


    It''s impossible for them to be alive now, which means they passed away long ago.


    "Have they all gone?" Lin Yuan was not surprised by the news and sighed inwardly.


    This is the most normal situation. Breaking through from the sixth rank of martial arts to the seventh rank is extremely difficult, as is breaking through from the Void Refinement Stage to the Dao Fusion Stage.


    Although Jun Dongjin had a mutated heavenly root, one of the rarest qualifications in the Immortal World, it was not so outstanding in the Spirit Realm.


    In the Spirit Realm, apart from spiritual roots determining one''s qualifications, there are also many Dao bodies.


    Jun Dongjin cultivated to the peak of the Void Refinement Stage but ultimately failed to break through to the Dao Fusion Stage and was severely injured.


    Mu Lian''er did not reach the peak of the Void Refinement Stage, and neither did Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zn.With the help of the means left by Lin Yuan, they smoothly stepped into the Void Refinement Stage and ascended to the Spirit Realm, but their subsequent cultivation progress was slow.


    "How have they been doing?"


    Lin Yuan asked.


    "They have been doing well. The Daoist Immortal Sect has not mistreated them," Li Qing immediately said. Before knowing Lin Yuan''s whereabouts, the Daoist Immortal Sect did not dare to have any designs on Jun Dongjin and the others.


    Taking care of Jun Dongjin and the others was not even a burden for the vast Daoist Immortal Sect. Immortal Cang Qing even summoned Jun Dongjin and the others several times to preach to them.


    But breaking through from the Void Refinement Stage to the Dao Fusion Stage is not something that can be achieved by a few sermons or ample resources.


    Otherwise, the Daoist Immortal Sect would have had everyone be True Immortals, not just a few dozen True Immortals holding the fort.


    "Before his passing, Master''s father asked me not to give up on finding you," Li Qing''s voice was somewhat somber.


    "Such a pity." Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. If he had transmigrated earlier, the oue might have been different.


    "In the future, if I be the strongest one, I can try to revive them," Lin Yuan thought silently.


    The strongest one controls theplete rules of time and space, can reverse time, go against the current, and retrieve the past deceased beings to revive them.


    Before their deaths, Jun Dongjin and Jun Zn were at the Void Refinement Stage, equivalent to the sixth rank. Their life essence was strong, and even if their life essence hadn''t intentionally merged with the Spirit Realm, living so long had already recorded their essence in the Spirit Realm.


    As long as Lin Yuan bes the strongest one, he should be able to descend to this realm, reverse time, and revive them.


    As for dying again due to their longevity being exhausted, Lin Yuan can extend their longevity within those few breaths.


    The methods to extend longevity in the Spirit Realm may be useless, but in the Main World, there are plenty.


    As for the world''s bacsh from reviving beings, reviving a few sixth-rank beings would be negligible for the strongest one.


    "Also, Master''s elder brother and second sister''s descendants are doing well in the Daoist Immortal Sect," Li Qing added, seemingly remembering something.


    With Lin Yuan''s connection, Li Qing, a martial arts seventh rankparable to a True Immortal, was certainly a pir for the Jun family''s descendants.


    As long as Li Qing lived, the Jun family''s descendants wouldn''t have a bad life, and Immortal Cang Qing was watching over them.


    "Is that so?" Lin Yuan looked at Li Qing.


    "Master, do you want me to bring some of the outstanding descendants of the Jun family to visit you?" Li Qing asked tentatively.


    "That would be fine," Lin Yuan thought for a moment. Since he had some ties with the Jun family, it wouldn''t hurt to see them now that he had returned.


    "Good." Li Qing closed her eyes and immediately began to make contact.


    As a general who fought for the Daoist Immortal Sect, Li Qing naturally had means to directly contact them.


    "Should I keep Master''s news hidden?"


    After sending the message, Li Qing cautiously asked, "Immortal Cang Qing once told me to inform him immediately if there was any news about Master."


    "Immortal Cang Qing is still alive?" Lin Yuan was interested.


    This old guy''s performance was quite satisfactory, at least he didn''t kick them while they were down during Lin Yuan''s absence.


    From what Lin Yuan knew, back in the Immortal World, Immortal Cang Qing had already lived for hundreds of thousands of years.


    Now, after hundreds of thousands of years, even a Dao Fusion Stage peak True Immortal should have almost reached the end of his life span, right?


    "Immortal Cang Qing passed the Mind Tribtion, so his life span is much longer than that of a normal True Immortal," Li Qing immediately said.


    To advance from the Dao Fusion Stage to the Tribtion Stage, immortal cultivators need to pass two major tribtions.


    One is the Physical Tribtion.


    The other is the Mind Tribtion.


    Thetter is simr to the Heart Demon Tribtion.


    For immortal cultivators, the most difficult tribtion to pass is the Physical Tribtion.


    Most of their techniques do not focus on the physical body, and facing the five decays of heaven and man in the Physical Tribtion, the body decays.


    There are hardly any means of resistance.


    "I see," Lin Yuan nodded.


    A Dao Fusion Stage True Immortal who has passed the Mind Tribtion, though still far from a Tribtion Stage Immortal King, has transformed in soul and will.


    The soul''s life span is extended to a certain extent.


    For a True Immortal, if the body decays, they can simply get a new one.


    As long as the soul exists, they can be considered immortal.


    "No need to hide it," Lin Yuan said calmly.


    Hide it?


    Why should it be hidden?


    Now that Lin Yuan had regained all his strength and advanced further, he was a peerless powerhouse even among Tribtion Stage Immortal Kings, no weaker than the supreme Immortal Kings.


    In such a situation, there was no need to hide.


    "Understood."


    Li Qing responded.


    After chatting a bit more with Li Qing, Lin Yuan looked at the other two who were sitting upright, Nie Yun and Shan Yang.


    These two seventh-rank martial artists were rising stars in the martial arts cultivation system. They reached the seventh rank by following Li Qing''s guidance, which showed their remarkable martial arts aptitude.


    "You have never received my guidance, which is quite an aplishment. The jade slips contain my insights into the seventh-rank cultivation, which should be helpful to you."


    With a thought, Lin Yuan produced two white jade slips that appeared in front of Nie Yun and Shan Yang.


    These two martial artists had not delved deeply into the seventh-rank cultivation. Although they embarked on the seventh-rank path, which Lin Yuan considered incorrect, they still had the opportunity for reconstruction.


    "As for you," Lin Yuan looked at Li Qing.


    Li Qing had already reached the peak of the seventh rank. Reconstructing her martial foundation wouldn''t be easy.


    But Lin Yuan had already devised a n. With his Unrivaled Insight, he quickly created a method suitable for Li Qing''s reconstruction.


    Unrivaled Insight depended on Lin Yuan''s level. Now, as a mid-eighth-rank, creating a seventh-rank reconstruction method required little effort.


    "Thank you, Master."


    Li Qing expressed her gratitude.


    Upon reaching the peak of the seventh rank, she sensed that there was no path ahead. If nothing unexpected happened, she would remain at this level for the rest of her life.


    She wasn''t the Martial Ancestor, who could create possibilities out of impossibilities.


    Li Qing had reached the seventh rankrgely due to luck and Lin Yuan''s guidance.


    Shan Yang and Nie Yun, filled with excitement, left the Martial Temple Hall.


    The Martial Ancestor.


    They had seen the legendary Martial Ancestor today.


    Moreover, the Martial Ancestor''s strength, if notparable to a Tribtion Stage Immortal King, was at least much stronger than Immortal Cang Qing of the Daoist Immortal Sect, who had one foot in the Tribtion Stage.


    "Can our martial arts produce such a powerful figure?"


    Shan Yang was exhrated. Returning to the cave with Nie Yun, they couldn''t calm down.


    The existence of the Martial Ancestor showed them that martial arts were not a dead end but a heavenly path simr to immortality.


    "Oh right."


    "The jade slip from the Martial Ancestor."


    Nie Yun reminded.


    In the Martial Temple Hall, the Martial Ancestor had given each of them a jade slip.


    He said it would help with their martial cultivation.


    "Right."


    "The jade slip?"


    Shan Yang immediately took out the white jade slip.


    The jade slip looked ordinary.


    It was almost the same as the jade slips used by low-level cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages.


    However, Shan Yang, a seventh-rank martial artist, treated it as a sacred artifact and respectfully ced it before him.


    Shan Yang and Nie Yun exchanged a nce and examined the contents of the jade slips together.


    After just a moment, their expressions changed, their hearts surging with waves.


    So, this is how the seventh-rank martial arts should be cultivated.


    So, the seventh-rank martial arts can be cultivated this way?


    So, the seventh-rank martial arts should be cultivated this way.


    The jade slips'' content wasn''t extensive, but the two seventh-rank martial artists spent an entire day studying it.


    Every word was pondered repeatedly, each time revealing new meanings.


    A dayter.


    Shan Yang suddenly regained his senses, looking at the jade slip in his hand, he muttered to himself, "Our martial arts are also a heavenly path."


    Nie Yun''s eyes gleamed with divine light, "The Martial Ancestor is truly a divine figure. From nothing, he created martial arts and now has provided so much exnation on the seventh-rank."


    The two exchanged a nce, stood up, and bowed respectfully towards the Martial Temple Hall.


    Thank you, Martial Ancestor, for your guidance.


    Thank you, Martial Ancestor, for your guidance.


    Thank you, Martial Ancestor, for your guidance.


    In the Martial Temple Hall.


    Lin Yuan sat there, deep in thought.


    Guiding the three seventh-rank martial artists was just a small effort.


    At this moment, Lin Yuan was pondering another matter.


    "Huai Dragon Pce?"


    Lin Yuan murmured to himself.


    The Huai Dragon Pce was a Dao Fusion-level force in the Nine Rivers Domain. For hundreds of thousands of years, the Daoist Immortal Sect had been at war with the Huai Dragon Pce.


    The two forces were at odds over a heavenly water essence and had been enemies for ages.


    Every few hundred to a thousand years, a war would break out, involving nearly ten Dao Fusion Stage True Immortals.


    Li Qing and the other three seventh-rank martial artists were mostly on the battlefield against the Huai Dragon Pce.


    When Jun Dongjin ascended to the Spirit Realm, he was severely injured by an ancient dragon saint from the Huai Dragon Pce during the peak of the Void Refinement Stage.


    Without that injury, Jun Dongjin might have had a chance to break through to the Dao Fusion Stage.


    Of course, it was just a possibility. In reality, he would probably still fail to break through.


    But at least the bacsh would be lighter, and he could live a few hundred years longer.


    Above the Spirit Realm.


    From top to bottom, there are nine heavens.


    Each heaven contains certain phenomena, or the manifestation of the essence of the Dao, or some kind of "wonder" involving the essence of the world.


    In the Fourth Heaven.


    A figure burning like a great sun stood with its back facing.


    It was Lin Yuan''s Yang Primordial Spirit.


    "With my current strength, I can only reach the Fourth Heaven. As for the Fifth Heaven..."


    Lin Yuan looked up at the sky, where dark clouds gathered, interwoven with countless pale purple lightning.


    To enter the Fifth Heaven, one must pass the Ninefold Lightning Tribtion, which is far more terrifying than the Physical Tribtion of breaking through to the Tribtion Stage.


    Although Dao Fusion Stage True Immortals can roam the nine heavens of the Spirit Realm, such powerhouses mostly stay in the First and Second Heavens.


    As for the Third Heaven, they can hardly enter, and the Fourth Heaven is the realm of Tribtion Stage Immortal Kings.


    The Fifth Heaven? Probably only the strongest among the Immortal Kings could withstand the Ninefold Lightning Tribtion.


    The Yang Primordial Spirit, after all, is just a primordial spirit, itsbat power far less than the true body. Unless the Yin and Yang merge into the Tai Chi Primordial Spirit, there is a risk of the primordial spirit copsing if it undergoes the Ninefold Lightning Tribtion.


    "Forget it."


    "Let''s wait a bit longer."


    "I can feel that the fusion of the Yin and Yang rules is almostplete."


    "When the timees, my primordial spirit will surely increase in power."


    Lin Yuan''s heart was filled with anticipation.


    Since recreating the world within his body, the Yin rule had been merging with the Yang rule, forming a light sphere, hanging above the sky of the internal world, and slowly transforming.


    Lin Yuan had a feeling that once the transformation wasplete, the fusion of the Yin and Yang rules would produce an incredible change.


    In the cave.


    Lin Yuan was meditating.


    At this moment, he quietly opened his eyes.


    Swoosh! In the internal world.


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness avatar appeared.


    He looked up at the light sphereposed entirely of Yin and Yang energy.


    At this moment, Lin Yuan felt a sense of unease, vaguely sensing that the transformation within the light sphere had reached its final stage.


    Crack. A sound of breaking, only Lin Yuan could hear, suddenly rang in his ears.


    The light sphere in the sky began to crack gradually.


    Buzz.


    Strands of new power, or rather rules, slowly emerged.


    This power was ck and white, seemingly no different from before, even in the infinitely microscopic realm.


    This signified aplete fusion. The newly born power or rule was no longer abination of Yin and Yang but inherently so.


    The wless ck and white power transformed into perfect Tai Chi power and quickly integrated into the internal world.


    "This..."


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness returned to reality.


    He raised his right hand, and the pure ck and white Yin-Yang power emitted a dreamy glow, slowly influencing the surroundings.


    At this moment.


    Lin Yuan felt an absolute sense of control.


    Within his perception range, he could control everything.


    "This feeling is so simr to the cosmic power of an invincible eighth rank in the Main World?"


    Lin Yuan''s eyes brightened. Although the invincible eighth rank in the Main World cannot be replicated, its characteristics are well documented.


    Among them is the description of cosmic powerprehended by invincible eighth ranks.


    Almost all invincible eighth ranks have amon feature in their cosmic power.


    That is control.


    Control everything.


    Absolute control.


    "The fusion of Yin and Yang into Tai Chi is actually a form of cosmic power?"


    Lin Yuan was overjoyed. Now, even without relying on the 26-million-mile internal world or various innate divine powers and secret techniques, he could still contend with other invincible eighth ranks.


    Because he himself was now invincible at the eighth rank.

    "Unexpectedly, the cosmic power that countless eighth-rank powerhouses in the main world yearn for, I actually grasped its rudiments when I am at the third and fourth stages."


    In Lin Yuan''s heart, there was inevitably some emotion. The so-called cosmic power, for the advancement of eighth-rank powerhouses, is not just aboutbat power.


    In the future, if he can advance to the ninth rank or even higher, the transformation of cosmic power will be even greater.


    For eighth-rank evolvers, wanting toprehend cosmic power, regardless of whether they can seed, will definitely consume a lot of time, possibly tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.


    But the cosmic powerprehended at the eighth rank, besides the enhancement inbat power, does not provide much help in breaking through to the ninth rank.


    But there are still many strong individuals of various races in the main world who want to walk the path of being invincible at the eighth rank.


    This seems quite incredible, after all, using this time for integrating rules might have a better chance of reaching the ninth rank.


    In fact, being able toprehend cosmic power at the eighth rank will allow for even further progress on the path to the ninth rank in the future.


    But unfortunately, among eighth-rank powerhouses, there are very few who canprehend cosmic power.And even among the eighth-rank powerhouses whoprehend cosmic power, the number who eventually advance to the ninth rank is extremely rare.


    Among hundreds of thousands of eighth-rank powerhouses, it is considered extremely lucky for one eighth-rank powerhouse whoprehended cosmic power to advance to the ninth rank.


    "My Tai Chi Power."


    Lin Yuan carefully sensed his own cosmic power, and the transformed Tai Chi Power no longer distinguished between Yin and Yang. It seemed innate, perfect and wless.


    "It is said that cosmic power cannot be replicated, but my Tai Chi Power," Lin Yuan pondered in his heart, and finally shook his head.


    This statement is basically correct.


    Lin Yuan''s Tai Chi Power is formed by the fusion of Yin and Yang.


    Even if inter generations, there is a martial artist with extraordinary talent in Yin and Yang like Lin Yuan, who simultaneously controls Yin and Yang.


    But whether they can fuse Yin and Yang is another matter, even if they really do fuse Yin and Yang, the power formed in the end is probably not Tai Chi Power.


    Lin Yuan''s Tai Chi Power does not have a consistent ratio of Yin and Yang, but adjusts ording to his own adaptability.


    Finally, a brand-new Tai Chi Power is born.


    In future generations, even if martial artists fuse Yin and Yang, the power formed will not be Lin Yuan''s Tai Chi Power.


    "With my current strength, under full eruption, I should be able to easily suppress other eighth-rank invincibles, but to say defeat or even kill them..."


    Lin Yuan thought for a moment, feeling unrealistic.


    After mastering Tai Chi Power, Lin Yuan''s understanding of such cosmic power became even deeper.


    Even if Lin Yuan uses all his cards, at most, it would be suppression; killing the opponent would be difficult.


    Taking Lin Yuan''s Tai Chi Power as an example, once in full defense, it''s nearly impervious to attack, and even ten eighth-rank invincibles might not be able to break through the defense.


    This is why eighth-rank powerhouses whoprehend some form of cosmic power in the main world are called ''invincible''.


    This is the myth of the eighth-rank invincibles.


    "Take it slow."


    "I feel that there is still much room for improvement in Tai Chi Power."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts converged. In the main world, those eighth-rank invincibles whoprehend cosmic power basically will not continue to delve into cosmic power, but will focus all their energy on integrating rules.


    Originally,prehending cosmic power already consumed a lot of time, and continuing to waste time makes the hope of breaking through to the ninth rank even more slim.


    Without breaking through to the ninth rank, even if one is an eighth-rank invincible, their lifespan will not be longer than those at the peak of the eighth rank.


    Nine Heavens, Fourth Heaven.


    Lin Yuan''s Yang Divine Spirit and Yin Divine Spirit appeared simultaneously.


    Immediately, they began to merge.


    Hum.


    The wless Tai Chi Divine Spirit appeared once again.


    Compared to the previous Tai Chi Divine Spirit, this Tai Chi Divine Spirit was more pure at this moment, and its influence on space was more stable.


    Lin Yuan even vaguely felt that even time was faintly affected.


    "This feeling?"


    Lin Yuan looked around.


    In the Xiaoyao City, even if Lin Yuan mastered the Tai Chi Power, this cosmic power, he would not attempt anything, fearing that with a slight mistake, he would shatter the entire Xiaoyao City.


    But there were no such concerns within the Nine Heavens.


    The Nine Heavens was vast and endless. The size of each heaven wasparable to the Spirit Realm. Here, the Spirit Realm referred not to the three thousand Dao provinces, but to the entire Spirit Realm.


    Coupled with environmental reasons, only true immortal-level powerhouses had the hope of ascending to the Nine Heavens, and even then, it was difficult to encounter others unless they agreed beforehand.


    So Lin Yuan could act recklessly here.


    Rumble.


    The terrifying power began to spread wildly in all directions, and the erupted Tai Chi Power, like a prehistoric behemoth, wantonly stirred everything in the Fourth Heaven.


    "Exhrating."


    Lin Yuanughed heartily. At this moment, he finally understood the confidence of those eighth-rank invincibles in the main world.


    This kind of power that surpasses the eighth rank is very easy to make people addicted.


    "The strength of my current Tai Chi Divine Spirit is no weaker than that of an eighth-rank invincible, and because of the energy soul body, it is much more difficult to deal with than ordinary eighth-rank invincibles."


    Lin Yuan had a precise understanding of his own Divine Spirit.


    The Divine Spirit is not a physical body and cannot be blessed by mysterious gourds to enhance the inner world, but the Divine Spirit also has its own advantages, that is, it can be immune to most physical damage.


    And the Divine Spirit is an illusory body, unpredictable and mysterious.


    In the main world, those eighth-rank invincibles with energy lives are even more daunting than ordinary eighth-rank invincibles.


    "Let''s continue to explore the true upper limit of Tai Chi Power."


    Lin Yuan acted recklessly, and the terrifying power''s aftermath began to shake the entire Fourth Heaven, even beginning to affect the Third Heaven and the Second Heaven below.


    Nine Heavens, Second Heaven.


    A peak True Immortal in the Dao Fusion Stage was currently traveling thisyer of heaven with a promising disciple he valued highly.


    The Nine Heavens of the Spirit Realm were exceptionally unique. True Immortal-level powerhouses frequently ascended here, asionally bringing their disciples along. For beings below the True Immortal level, being able to experience the mysteries of the Nine Heavens was considered a great opportunity.


    "In the Second Heaven, there are often ''wonders'' and ''phenomena'' urring. Tomorrow, pay close attention and remember everything. It will be greatly beneficial for your future cultivation path," the peak Dao Fusion Stage True Immortal, a white-browed elder, advised with a smile as he stroked his beard.


    "Yes, Elder." A young man beside him swallowed hard, trying hard to observe his surroundings and memorize everything he saw.


    After a while.


    "Elder, this Nine Heavens is so vast, isn''t it?" the young man couldn''t help but remark.


    "My Nine Heavens in the Spirit Realm are boundless. This is only the Second Heaven; there are still the Third Heaven, Fourth Heaven..." the peak Dao Fusion Stage True Immortal patiently exined.


    "But only those in the Half-Step Tribtion Stage can attempt to ascend the Third Heaven. As for the Fourth Heaven, that is the domain of Tribtion Stage Immortal Kings," the white-browed elder sighed. Although he had reached the peak of the Dao Fusion Stage, the Tribtion Stage was still beyond his reach.


    Just the Mind and Physical Tribtions alone were two major obstacles that blocked countless True Immortals.


    Aftermenting for a while, the white-browed elder was about to continue speaking when suddenly his expression changed.


    "What''s that?"


    The white-browed elder looked up at the area of the Third Heaven. At this moment, a terrifying fluctuation was traveling through the Third Heaven, spreading to the Second Heaven as if it were the pounding of divine drums, causing ripples in the ocean of clouds in the Second Heaven and creating ripples in space.


    "This?" The white-browed elder''s expression turned shocked. In the Nine Heavens, a True Immortal powerhouse like him, even if exerting full force, would only affect a range of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of miles at most. But now? Even just the residual waves of power had pierced through to the Second Heaven?


    "Is there a Half-Step Immortal King acting in the Third Heaven?" The young man beside him shivered with fear. If it weren''t for the protection of the white-browed elder, he would probably be sitting paralyzed on the ground right now.


    The residual waves of power from a higher heaven descended like divine might.


    "It''s not the Third Heaven, it''s a higher heaven than the Third Heaven!"


    The white-browed elder carefully sensed for a moment, his face slightly pale.


    As a peak True Immortal, although he couldn''t ascend to the Third Heaven, he could still make judgments about the source of the residual waves of power.


    "A higher heaven than the Third Heaven?"


    The young man was momentarily confused. Wouldn''t that mean...


    "An Immortal King, at least a Tribtion Immortal King, is acting."


    The white-browed elder said with difficulty. He had another spection in his heart: being able to extend the residual waves of power to other heavens was something ordinary Immortal Kings couldn''t do.


    Maybe it was the legendary Supreme Immortal King!!


    "In my lifetime, I actually witnessed the hands of a Supreme Immortal King?"


    The white-browed elder''s mind was stirred. As a peak True Immortal like him, he had traveled through the Three Thousand Dao Provinces over countless ages, with hopes of seeing a Tribtion Immortal King.


    But a Supreme Immortal King? That was the supreme powerhouse among Tribtion Immortal Kings. The vast majority of True Immortals would never see one in their entire lives.


    Xuan King Domain.


    Daoist Immortal Sect.


    "Did Patriarch Li send a message to me?" A in-faced, capable woman''s expression changed slightly as she looked towards two peers beside her.


    "Patriarch Li?"


    "Patriarch Li rarely contacts us unless it''s something significant."


    "Quickly, let''s see. Could it be that something unexpected has happened in the war with the Huai Dragon Pce?"


    The two peers realized the seriousness of the situation.


    The three of them were the most outstanding among the descendants of ''Jun Xiaoyao'' from the beginning. They were Jun Haiqiu, Jun Nangong, and Jun Yunxun.


    The Daoist Immortal Sect in the Spirit Realm was rtively powerful, but at least before Jun Dongjin and others ascended, there was no Jun family.


    After tens of thousands of years of effort by sessive generations of the Jun family and the support of Li Qing, the Jun family finally established itself in the Immortal Sect.


    "I''ll check it now."


    Jun Haiqiu immediately opened the message sent by Li Qing.


    After quickly browsing through it.


    "Patriarch Li said..." Jun Haiqiu was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to say it.


    "Take a look, both of you."


    Jun Haiqiu unfolded the message.


    Jun Nangong and Jun Yunxun quickly read it.


    "One of our ancestors from the Jun family has returned?"


    "This ancestor is the youngest son of Jun Dongjin, the founder of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the founder of the martial arts cultivation system?"


    Jun Haiqiu and the others were stunned.


    Since childhood, they had heard many rumors about this ancestor named ''Wuji.''


    It was said that this ''Wuji'' ancestor had extraordinary talent and even negotiated with the Cangqing Immortal. The position of the Jun family in the Immortal Sect was basically obtained through the efforts of the Wuji ancestor.


    Without the Wuji ancestor, the Jun family would not have the status it has today. Perhaps they couldn''t even ascend in the Immortal world.


    "Wuji ancestor, back?"


    Jun Nangong''s face was somewhat excited. It had been tens of thousands of years, and the ancestors of the Jun family had never given up on finding the Wuji ancestor.


    Even the Daoist Immortal Sect was searching for him, but there had been no news all along.


    Many ancestors of the Jun family even thought that the Wuji ancestor had died long ago. Otherwise, how could there be no news for so many years?


    "Let''s go."


    "Let''s go see Wuji ancestor now."


    "My father, my mother, my grandfather, my great-grandfather, and the ancestors of my Jun family have all had this desire, and it has finally been realized in us."


    Jun Yunxun''s mind was also stirred. Li Qing''s search for the Wuji ancestor was to find his own master. The Cangqing Immortal''s search for the Wuji ancestor was for other purposes.


    Only their Jun family''s search for the Wuji ancestor was entirely heartfelt. Since the founder Jun Dongjin, the Jun family had never treated finding the Wuji ancestor as anything less than the ultimate goal.


    "The Martial Temple is starting to recruit disciples on arge scale?"


    "As long as they are human, they can join the Martial Temple?"


    "After joining the Martial Temple, one can obtain the martial arts cultivation system''s techniques? Even immortal cultivators can join the Martial Temple?"


    In the city of Xiaoyao, a message swept through like a hurricane. In the past, the Martial Temple had strict requirements for epting disciples, but now, they seemed to have rxed those restrictions.


    "Hurry, hurry."


    "There are free martial arts techniques being given away."


    "It is said that the Seventh Rank of the martial path is no weaker than the Dao Fusion Stage of True Immortality. The martial arts cultivation system must have exceptional qualities."


    Figures quickly lined up outside the Martial Temple, quietly discussing.


    "Why do you think the Martial Temple is doing this?"


    "Not long ago, the three Patriarchs of the Martial Temple returned. Could it be their decision?"


    "I don''t think so. For such a long time, with the three Patriarchs present, the rules of the Martial Temple have hardly changed. Now, suddenly opening up like this, there must be something we don''t know about."


    "Who cares, as long as there are martial arts techniques to be given away, it''s no loss for me."


    Inside the Martial Temple''s main hall.


    Lin Yuan sat in the main seat, casting a nce that epassed the entire city of Xiaoyao.


    "Master, is it appropriate to open up the martial arts techniques like this?" Li Qing asked respectfully from the side, careful with her words.


    "It''s fine," Lin Yuan said nonchntly.


    Topletely spread the martial arts evolution system in this realm, relying solely on the Martial Temple''s limited influence, would take millions of years.


    So Lin Yuan decided to open up the martial arts techniques.


    Of course, these Martial Temple techniques that were being opened up had been modified by Lin Yuan to provide short-term boosts to one''s own strength.


    For lower-level cultivators, whether it was immortal cultivation, martial cultivation, or other cultivation systems, what mattered most was short-term effectiveness. Even the Supreme Dao, if one couldn''t grasp it, wouldn''t bring any improvement and would be meaningless.


    As for the consequences of opening up martial arts techniques like this, leading to a mixture of martial cultivators in the future, and even disloyalty to the Martial Temple, Lin Yuan didn''t care at all.


    In the myriad realms, as long as one embraced the martial path, regardless of their thoughts and intentions, they were all future "ingredients" for the "ultimate leap."

 Chapter 259

    Chapter 259


    Nine Rivers Domain.


    Huai Dragon Pce.


    As a Dao Fusion-level force, Huai Dragon Pce was no weaker than the Daoist Immortal Sect, and even stronger due to being descended from aquatic dragons.


    The true immortal-levelbat power of Huai Dragon Pce was even stronger than that of the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    Huai Dragon Hall.


    Dozens of figures gathered here.


    Huai Dragon Pce was not a human force, but one ruled by aquatic dragon descendants. The entire Nine Rivers Domain was basically the territory of the aquatic race.


    "Everyone, our pce lord has decided that we will once againunch arge-scale war against the Daoist Immortal Sect. The essence of the celestial water is bound to belong to our Huai Dragon Pce."


    The pce lord of Huai Dragon Pce was a middle-aged woman, whose true form was that of a true dragon. Although her bloodline had not reached the level of a true spirit, her strength was so great that she had hardly any opponents within the Dao Fusion stage."The essence of celestial water is the treasure of our dragon race, but it has been seized by the Daoist Immortal Sect. This time, we must reim it."


    "Pce Lord, I also want to participate in thisrge-scale decisive battle and must kill several true immortals of the Daoist Immortal Sect."


    "If not for the support of the Xuan King Pce, how could the Daoist Immortal Sect be a match for our Huai Dong Pce?"


    Dozens of figures on the scene spoke one after another.


    The so-calledrge-scale war was the fierce battle between Huai Dragon Pce and the Daoist Immortal Sect, where true immortals would take the field, and there would be no holding back from either side.


    Suchrge-scale battles often did not ur for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years because the cost was too high.


    Regardless of which side won, it would be a pyrrhic victory. The Xuan King Pce could not sit idly by and watch the Daoist Immortal Sect be defeated and would certainly intervene.


    "The Xuan King Pce?"


    "Humph!!!"


    The pce lord of Huai Dragon Pce snorted coldly.


    In the past fewrge-scale wars, she had never been able to defeat the Daoist Immortal Sect due to the intervention of the Xuan King Pce.


    But now, the pce lord of Huai Dragon Pce had already transcended the tribtion of the flesh, and her strength had greatly increased. Ordinary half-step Immortal Kings were not even worth her consideration.


    Before transcending the tribtion of the flesh, she could rival half-step Immortal Kings with the help of her true dragon bloodline.


    Now that she had be a half-step Immortal King, it would probably take three or four half-step Immortal Kings to contend with her.


    This time, Huai Dragon Pce was determined to obtain the essence of celestial water.


    The essence of celestial water had a significant effect on the transformation of dragon descendants into dragons.


    If Huai Dragon Pce could obtain the essence of celestial water, its power would rise to a new level within at most ten thousand years.


    It would even have certain benefits for the pce lord of Huai Dragon Pce to transcend the tribtion of the mind.


    Normal Dao Fusion stage true immortals had a greater chance of transcending the tribtion of the mind than the tribtion of the flesh.


    As a dragon descendant, the pce lord of Huai Dragon Pce had a strong physical body and was more likely to transcend the tribtion of the flesh. As for the tribtion of the mind, she needed to be more cautious.


    Daoist Immortal Sect.


    Cangqing Immortal sat on the high tform.


    "What is Huai Dragon Pce plotting again?"


    Cangqing Immortal frowned. He received intelligence from the battlefield that the true immortal-levelbat power of Huai Dragon Pce was gathering towards the battlefield.


    "Are they nning anotherrge-scale decisive battle?"


    Cangqing Immortal felt somewhat troubled. Even with the support of the Xuan King Pce, the Daoist Immortal Sect was already finding it difficult to cope with Huai Dragon Pce''s repeated decisive battles.


    The Xuan King Pce was the most powerful force in the Xuan King Domain, and the Daoist Immortal Sect, along with another major force, were known as the three giants of the Xuan King Domain.


    "The essence of celestial water."


    Cangqing Immortal thought of the culprit that had caused the endless warfare between the Daoist Immortal Sect and Huai Dragon Pce.


    In fact, the essence of celestial water was not of much use to human cultivators.


    But even if it had no effect, it absolutely could not be handed over to Huai Dragon Pce.


    Cangqing Immortal could imagine that once Huai Dragon Pce obtained the essence of celestial water, its power would definitely increase substantially within ten thousand years, surpassing the Xuan King Domain directly and bing the most powerful force in the dozens of nearby domains.


    By then, the Daoist Immortal Sect would have no resistance against Huai Dragon Pce.


    "The essence of celestial water is rooted in the earth''s veins and cannot be moved or destroyed."


    Cangqing Immortal sighed lightly. Even if he used treasures to forcibly shatter the essence of celestial water, as long as the earth''s veins remained, a new essence of celestial water would be born within thousands of years.


    "Huai Dragon Pce dares tounch arge-scale decisive battle this time, there must be new cards in hand. Has the pce lord of Huai Dragon Pce transcended the tribtion of the flesh?"


    Cangqing Immortal spected.


    After countless years of warfare between the Daoist Immortal Sect and Huai Dragon Pce, he was very familiar with thetter. Thest time the pce lord of Huai Dragon Pce fought against Cangqing Immortal, she disyed a physical strength that was not far from transcending the tribtion of the flesh.


    "I can''t deal with a true dragon who has transcended the tribtion of the flesh alone. It''s better to ask the opinion of the Xuan King Pce."


    Cangqing Immortal was not stupid, and he naturally would not shoulder the pressure of blocking Huai Dragon Pce alone.


    A momentter.


    Cangqing Immortal, who had contacted the Xuan King Pce, frowned again.


    "The Lord of the Xuan King Pce is in seclusion and cannot act for a short time?"


    "How am I supposed to deal with that sinful dragon?"


    Cangqing Immortal suddenly felt tricky.


    "I still need to contact the Dao Fusion-level forces of other major domains."


    Cangqing Immortal''s thoughts converged as he looked at another piece of information.


    "Oh?"


    "Has that little fellow Jun Wuji returned?"


    Cangqing Immortal''s eyes lit up.


    He had been waiting for Jun Wuji for a long time. Originally, he thought that at most a few thousand years, Jun Wuji could ascend to the Spirit Realm, but hundreds of thousands of years had passed with no sign of him.


    But Cangqing Immortal did not vite his promise because of this. After all, they had made a Dao oath.


    Although viting a Dao oath was not impossible, it would alsoe at a great cost. For the sake of such a promise, making Cangqing Immortal vite his Dao oath would definitely be a losing deal.


    "Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and that little fellow is still alive. He is at least at the peak of the Dao Fusion stage. Perhaps he has be a half-step Immortal King?"


    Cangqing Immortal thought to himself.


    He was well aware of Lin Yuan''s talent. Being able to enter such a ce in the mortal realm and forcibly reach the Dao Fusion stage could at least be called a seedling of an Immortal King.


    Of course, even if one is a seedling of an Immortal King, crossing into an Immortal King is extremely difficult. It''s just a possibility. Cangqing Immortal, no matter how highly he regards Lin Yuan, doesn''t think thetter has be an Immortal King.


    The transition from the Dao Fusion stage to the Tribtion stage is like a heavenly chasm. Cangqing Immortal knows this well. Despite transcending the Tribtion of the Mind and ranking as a half-step Immortal King, he understands that it''s virtually impossible for him to be an Immortal King in this lifetime.


    At most, before reaching the end of his lifespan, Cangqing Immortal might attempt to transcend the Tribtion of the Flesh. Even if he fails, it''s within his expectations.


    "However, if this kid has already be a half-step Immortal King, it might ease the pressure from Huai Dragon Pce this time" Cangqing Immortal suddenly had a thought.


    When he negotiated with Lin Yuan, Cangqing Immortal agreed to allow martial arts to spread in the mortal realm and provide protection for martial practitioners to ascend to the Spirit Realm using the Ascension tform after reaching the Sixth Rank.


    In return, Lin Yuan promised to assist the Daoist Immortal Sect when possible in the future. Of course, Lin Yuan could choose to refuse. Cangqing Immortal was quite rxed about this matter, as he hadn''t invested much.


    "So be it. It''s been a while since I went out."


    "This time, I''ll go and see that kid from back then."


    Cangqing Immortal rose slowly and disappeared from his original location.


    As for therge-scale decisive battle that Huai Dragon Pce wanted tounch, preparing for such a level of battlefield would require a lot of time. At least ten years would pass before it could start.


    Xiaoyao City, Martial Temple.


    Cangqing Immortal''s figure appeared silently.


    "Lifting the restriction on martial arts?" Cangqing Immortal nced at the recent events in Xiaoyao City.


    Step by step, Cangqing Immortal walked towards the depths of the Martial Temple, surrounded by a faint illusionary domain as a half-step Immortal King who had transcended the Tribtion of the Mind.


    As long as he wished, even someone as powerful as Li Qing, at the peak of the Seventh Rank of martial arts, would find it difficult to detect his presence.


    After transcending the Tribtion of the Mind, Cangqing Immortal''s soul had greatly improved, enabling him to easily deceive and manipte the perceptions of others in the realm of the soul.


    "There haven''t been any changes."


    "Has that kid reallye back?"


    Cangqing Immortal arrived at the main hall of the Martial Temple and took a casual nce around, finding nothing unusual.


    Just as Cangqing Immortal was wondering whether to reveal himself and ask Li Qing, the guardian of the temple, about it, suddenly...


    Buzz...


    The surrounding void began to blur.


    Scenes began to unfold one after another. Cangqing Immortal found himself outside Xiaoyao City again, as if everything he had just experienced was an illusion.


    "This?!"


    Cangqing Immortal''s pupils contracted, and his heart surged with immense waves.


    An illusion?


    Even he, a half-step Immortal King who had transcended the Tribtion of the Mind, could be silently plunged into an illusion?


    Although in terms of strength, a half-step Immortal King who had transcended the Tribtion of the Mind was not as powerful as one who had transcended the Tribtion of the Flesh, when it came to mastery of soul illusions, a half-step Immortal King who had transcended the Tribtion of the Mind was far superior.


    Yet now, Cangqing Immortal had silently experienced an illusion. If the other party had not intentionally dispersed the illusion, Cangqing Immortal would probably still be immersed in it.


    "Too terrifying."


    "What kind of illusion is this?"


    Cangqing Immortal''s mind trembled. Someone who could freely manipte him, a half-step Immortal King, in the realm of soul illusions... Cangqing Immortal already had a guess.


    "Could it be..." Cangqing Immortal calmed his mind and walked into Xiaoyao City again.


    This time, Cangqing Immortal didn''t use any means and simply walked on the streets, finally arriving at the gate of the Martial Temple.


    After hesitating for a moment, Cangqing Immortal said to the guardian, "I am Cangqing, here to visit the Martial Ancestor."


    "Come in."


    As if having received prior instructions, the guardian led Cangqing Immortal to stop in front of the main hall of the Martial Temple.


    Cangqing Immortal paused for a moment, but eventually entered the main hall of the Martial Temple.


    The current main hall of the Martial Temple was no different from the one Cangqing Immortal had experienced before.


    The only difference was that there was a figure sitting in the main seat.


    The figure was a young man. Although he was just sitting there, Cangqing Immortal had an illusion that he was facing the vast Spirit Realm.


    "Long time no see," Lin Yuan looked at Cangqing Immortal and smiled slightly.


    "Are you really Jun Wuji?" Cangqing Immortal was stunned for a moment. If he had only spected earlier that there was a Tribtion Immortal King in the Martial Temple, as only an Immortal King with a high status could casually immerse him in an illusion without his knowledge...


    Then now, upon seeing Lin Yuan, Cangqing Immortal could almost confirm his earlier spection. Moreover, this Tribtion Immortal King was none other than the kid from back then¡ªJun Wuji.


    "More or less."


    Lin Yuan nodded with a smile. Although he had changed his physical body, his true spirit consciousness remained the same, simr to a reincarnation of a Dao Fusion True Immortal.


    "Jun Wuji..." Cangqing Immortal was shocked.


    Even though he had long believed that Jun Wuji was a genius at the level of a seedling of an Immortal King, facing the real Tribtion Immortal King Jun Wuji still stirred immense waves in Cangqing Immortal''s heart.


    Immortal King!


    This is a Tribtion Immortal King! Even though there are geniuses who are expected to be Immortal Kings, there are probably only a few out of tens of thousands of Immortal King seedlings who can truly be Immortal Kings, right?


    "Please sit."


    "No, I''ll just stand."


    Cangqing Immortal immediately realized and didn''t dare to sit down.


    What kind of joke was this? Sitting together with a Tribtion Immortal King? Cangqing Immortal was well aware of his own identity. He was not Lin Yuan''s junior, nor had he bestowed any great favors upon Lin Yuan.


    The only thing he had done right was to keep his promises over the years, but that was what he was supposed to do.


    Cangqing Immortal was extremely grateful at this moment. Years ago, when Jun Dongjin and others ascended to the Spirit Realm, some members of the sect had objected, hoping to stop favoring the Jun family with resources.


    At that time, Cangqing Immortal directly refused.


    Firstly, providing resources to the Jun family was like a drop in the ocean for the Daoist Immortal Sect at the time. Those short-sighted people in the sect cared about it, but Cangqing Immortal didn''t.


    Secondly, Cangqing Immortal was still looking forward to Jun Wuji''s ascension to the Spirit Realm.


    As time passed, and after Cangqing Immortal''s resolute refusal, no one else in the sect dared to bring up the matter.


    "You''ve done well these years."


    Lin Yuan nodded. At least he hadn''t mistreated the Jun family and had also protected the martial arts cultivation system.


    "It''s nothing, it''s nothing."


    Cangqing Immortal immediately replied. Through Lin Yuan''s words, he realized that the other party knew everything he had done over the years.


    Therefore, Cangqing Immortal felt even more terrified. If he had made some mistakes back then, he would probably be facing the wrath of a Tribtion Immortal King right now. That was something that the entire Xuan King Domain, and even the Dongyun State, couldn''t bear.


    "Speak."


    "What do you want me to help with?"


    Lin Yuan said directly. The Daoist Immortal Sect treated the Jun family well and sheltered the martial arts evolution path. As part of the negotiation conditions, Cangqing Immortal needed help with something within Lin Yuan''s capabilities.


    "Help with what?"


    Cangqing Immortal''s spirit shook suddenly. Almost immediately, he wanted to ask Lin Yuan to help him transcend the Tribtion of the Flesh. But this thought was quickly dismissed by Cangqing Immortal.


    Whether it was the Tribtion of the Mind or the Tribtion of the Flesh, external forces had almost no effect. It could only rely on oneself.


    Otherwise, why were Tribtion Immortal Kings so rare in the Spirit Realm? Leaving aside others, shouldn''t the friends and offspring of those Tribtion Immortal Kings be able to cross the Tribtion?


    From this, it could be inferred that even Immortal Kings found it difficult to interfere with the Tribtion of the Flesh or the Tribtion of the Mind.


    Even if they could intervene, they would pay a heavy price, which was not in line with the "within one''s capabilities" that he had promised.


    "I hope..."


    Countless thoughts shed through Cangqing Immortal''s mind. Apart from himself, the thing he cared most about in his life was the Daoist Immortal Sect. At present, the biggest crisis facing the Daoist Immortal Sect was the Huai Dragon Pce.


    Cangqing Immortal couldn''t think of any means to deal with the Huai Dragon Pce''s master, who had transcended the Tribtion of the Flesh.


    "I hope the Martial Ancestor can intervene and resolve the Huai Dragon Pce issue."


    Cangqing Immortal steadied his mind and respectfully said.


    "Huai Dragon Pce, huh."


    Lin Yuan nodded. Even if Cangqing Immortal hadn''t mentioned it, he wouldn''t let Huai Dragon Pce off the hook. ording to Li Qing''s meaning, Jun Dongjin had been heavily injured by the experts of Huai Dragon Pce at the time, which led to his subsequent breakthrough failure.


    Lin Yuan stood up and walked out of the Martial Temple.


    Cangqing Immortal immediately followed.


    "Martial Ancestor, Huai Dragon Pce is a water race dragon descendant, and its master is said to have true dragon bloodline. He should have transcended the Tribtion of the Flesh by now."


    "There is also the Nine Rivers Domain, which is said to be rted to a Dragon King Tribtion expert."


    Cangqing Immortal quickly introduced the strength of Huai Dragon Pce to Lin Yuan.


    But before he could finish speaking, Lin Yuan interrupted him.


    He said directly, "Where is Huai Dragon Pce? Give me a direction."

 Chapter 260

    Chapter 260


    "Where is the Huai Dragon Pce?"


    Cangqing Immortal was stunned, not understanding the meaning behind Lin Yuan''s question.


    Was he nning to personally visit the Huai Dragon Pce?


    Indeed.


    As the esteemed Immortal King, once he personally arrived at the Huai Dragon Pce, even if the pce lord was unruly, she would have to obediently submit.


    In the vast Spirit Realm, there was no true immortal who dared to defy the will of an Immortal King.


    Though Cangqing Immortal and the Huai Dragon Pce Lord were both titled as half-step Immortal Kings, the distance between them and true Immortal Kings was immeasurable.


    Cangqing Immortal had undergone the Trial of the Mind, possessing a powerful soul and will, yet he was easily toyed with by Lin Yuan, falling unknowingly into an illusion.


    Of course, this was also because Lin Yuan was not an ordinary Immortal King.However, even an ordinary Immortal King could deal with a half-step Immortal King with just a thought.


    "It''s over there."


    Cangqing Immortal immediately pointed out a location. As a longtime rival of the Huai Dragon Pce, he naturally knew the location of theirir.


    However, the Huai Dragon Pce relied on the core waterways of the Nine Rivers Domain.


    Even if a group of half-step Immortal Kings besieged them, they would be unable to do anything. They were practically impregnable.


    So, even though Cangqing Immortal knew the location of theirir, there wasn''t much he could do about it.


    In the pastrge-scale battles between the Huai Dragon Pce and the Daoist Immortal Sect, even with the help of the Xuan King Pce, it was difficult to inflict significant damage on the Huai Dragon Pce.


    Once the dragon n immortals realized they couldn''t win, they would simply retreat into the Huai Dragon Pce.


    It was tantamount to standing on invincible ground.


    "Wuji, actually, you don''t need to go there in person. You only need to issue a decree, and I can take it to the Huai Dragon Pce."


    Cangqing Immortal hesitated for a moment and said softly.


    The aura of an Immortal King was contained within the decree, impossible to imitate. It symbolized the will of a certain Immortal King.


    Even if there was indeed a Dragon King who underwent the Trial of the Flesh in the Nine Rivers Domain tens of thousands of years ago, and all the dragon descendants in the Nine Rivers Domain were theoretically his descendants, it was unclear whether this was true or false.


    Even if that Dragon King really existed, he wouldn''t dare to offend another Immortal King for such a trivial matter.


    "No need for such trouble."


    Lin Yuan nced at Cangqing Immortal and said indifferently, "Just capture them directly."


    After speaking, Lin Yuan raised his right hand.


    The ck and white Tai Chi force intertwined at his fingertips, causing the space to distort slightly. Cangqing Immortal felt a splitting headache just from looking at it.


    It was too profound.


    Tooplicated.


    Just from Lin Yuan''s gesture, Cangqing Immortal felt that all the spatial mysteries he hadprehended in most of his life were contained within it, even if it only upied one ten-thousandth or one-hundred-thousandth of the whole.


    The remaining spatial mysteries were realms that Cangqing Immortal could not reach remotely.


    "Wuji''s mastery of spatial mysteries has actually reached such a level?"


    Cangqing Immortal was shocked, but even though he felt a splitting headache, he still stared closely at Lin Yuan''s raised right hand.


    Perhaps if he watched for a while longer, he would have a chance to attain enlightenment?


    Under Cangqing Immortal''s gaze, Lin Yuan''s raised right hand, pointing in the direction he had indicated earlier, palm facing downwards, lightly grasped.


    The Nine Rivers Domain.


    Huai Dragon Pce.


    The entire Nine Rivers Domain wasposed of nine major rivers, each of which ran through dozens of major domains, all finally converging in the Nine Rivers Domain.


    It was precisely because of this that the Nine Rivers Domain was uniquely blessed, being the sacrednd of the aquatic race. The Huai Dragon Pce was an influence formed by the dragon descendants and connected to the core waterways of the entire Nine Rivers Domain.


    To break into the Huai Dragon Pce, one must break through the core waterways of the entire Nine Rivers Domain.


    Taking advantage of this, the Huai Dragon Pce had prospered for millions of years. Even if there were periods of decline, it did not affect the overall situation, and it had always been one of the dominant forces in the Nine Rivers Domain.


    Inside the Huai Dragon Pce.


    The Huai Dragon Pce Lord, who had undergone the Trial of the Flesh, looked at the horned man in front of him and said coldly, "Your Dragon''s Nest also wants the essence of the Celestial Water?"


    The Dragon''s Nest was also a dominant-level force in the Nine Rivers Domain, on par with the Huai Dragon Pce.


    To be precise, it was on par with the current Huai Dragon Pce. Before the Huai Dragon Pce Lord underwent the Trial of the Flesh, the Huai Dragon Pce was inferior to the Dragon''s Nest.


    "That''s right."


    "The Dragon Lord promises to help you obtain that Celestial Water with all his might, but my Dragon''s Nest wants half of it," the horned man said.


    "Half of it."


    The Huai Dragon Pce Lord''s expression was unchanged.


    However, she was contemting. After undergoing the Trial of the Flesh, her strength had greatly increased, and she was confident she could repel the Daoist Immortal Sect, and even the Xuan King Pce behind them.


    But it didn''t hurt to be cautious.


    The importance of the Celestial Water was known to both the Huai Dragon Pce and the Daoist Immortal Sect, and even the Xuan King Pce knew about it.


    The three major powers in the Xuan King Domain would definitely stop her at all costs.


    They might even call for reinforcements and gather other half-step Immortal Kings from different domains.


    Under such circumstances, she felt some pressure.


    If she could join forces with the Dragon''s Nest...


    The decision had already been made in the Huai Dragon Pce Lord''s heart.


    The Dragon''s Nest had also sought cooperation with her in the past, simrly proposing to share half of the Celestial Water, but she had directly refused back then.


    Because at that time, she had not yet undergone the Trial of the Flesh, and herbat power was inferior to the Dragon Lord of the Dragon''s Nest.


    Rash cooperation might end up with the Huai Dragon Pce being swallowed by the other party.


    But now, it''s different. After undergoing the Trial of the Flesh, she is not weaker than the Dragon Lord of the Dragon''s Nest.


    The cooperation between the two parties is almost on equal footing.


    "Twenty percent."


    The Huai Dragon Pce Lord stated directly.


    "Twenty percent is too low." The horned man''s face darkened.


    In the end, they decided to split the Celestial Water in a sixty-forty ratio, with the Huai Dragon Pce taking sixty percent and the Dragon''s Nest taking forty percent.


    "With our two major forces joining hands, the Daoist Immortal Sect, and the Xuan King Domain, are just insignificant." A smile appeared on the horned man''s face.


    The mood of the Huai Dragon Pce Lord was simrly good.


    Although giving away forty percent of the Celestial Water for nothing was a big deal, with the promise of the Dragon''s Nest''s full assistance, the confidence of the Huai Dragon Pce greatly increased, enough to withstand the pressure from the half-step Immortal Kings in the surrounding domains.


    Just as the horned man was about to return to the Dragon''s Nest and inform the Dragon Lord of the matter, his expression suddenly changed.


    Simrly, the Huai Dragon Pce Lord raised her head abruptly, looking towards the sky.


    In the vast and boundless sky, it was unclear when it began to dim.


    It wasn''t dimming; it was a huge hand covered in ck and white, enveloping the entire Huai Dragon Pce.


    "Who dares to be so presumptuous in front of my Huai Dragon Pce?"


    Countless dragon n immortals ascended into the sky, wanting to shatter the oppressive giant palm.


    But all the formidable techniques of the true immortals, when theynded on the giant palm, didn''t even create a ripple.


    Boom!


    The giant palm slowly descended, the five fingers beginning to close, seemingly intending to grab the entire Huai Dragon Pce, covering millions of miles in all directions.


    Crash!


    The Huai Dragon Pce Lord directly transformed into a giant dragon, the terrifying power of her bloodline suppressing all directions as she attacked the giant palm.


    A half-step Immortal King who had undergone the Trial of the Flesh was already proficient inbat, not to mention possessing the bloodline of a true dragon. Even if Cangqing Immortal, such a half-step Immortal King, saw this, he wouldn''t dare to confront it head-on, only to retreat far away.


    However.


    Faced with the slowly descending giant palm, the Huai Dragon Pce Lord''s full force attack had no effect at all, not even dying the descent of the giant palm.


    If one looked from an extremely distant ce, they would see that the entire Huai Dragon Pce didn''t even upy one-tenth of the giant palm. In front of the giant palm, the Huai Dragon Pce Lord, this half-step Immortal King, was like a tiny insect.


    "Not good."


    The Huai Dragon Pce Lord''s face changed drastically, transforming back into her human form, wanting to retreat violently and leave the range of the giant palm.


    From her full force attack, which couldn''t shake the giant palm in the slightest, she realized that there was no possibility of blocking the giant palm.


    Boom!


    The Huai Dragon Pce Lord wanted to use the power of space to teleport, but found that within the range of the giant palm, space was solidified. Not to mention teleportation, even normal flight was extremely difficult.


    Swoosh!


    Sensing this scene, the Huai Dragon Pce Lord hesitated for a moment and then decisively returned to the Huai Dragon Pce below.


    At this point, she could only rely on the Huai Dragon Pce connected to the core waterways of the Nine Rivers Domain to resist the giant hand.


    Scratch!


    The giant hand continued to tighten, relying on the power of the waterways, one by one shattered, unable to resist at all.


    In the end, the entire Huai Dragon Pce was directly grabbed by the giant palm.


    Hum!


    The fluctuation of spatial power.


    The giant palm and the captured Huai Dragon Pce disappeared without a trace.


    Only a giant pit remained in the original ce, a million miles in diameter, where the Huai Dragon Pce, one of the dominant forces in the Nine Rivers Domain, used to be.


    After a moment.


    A man dressed in a golden dragon robe appeared outside the giant pit.


    He stared nkly at everything before him.


    What happened? Why did the Huai Dragon Pce disappear?


    This man in the golden dragon robe was the Dragon Lord of the Dragon''s Nest.


    The moment the oppressive giant palm appeared, the aftermath it caused was first noticed by him.


    So he was the first to arrive.


    But upon arriving, he witnessed a scene he would never forget in his life.


    Such arge Huai Dragon Pce, actually disappeared under the nose of the Nine Rivers Domain?


    How is that possible?!


    The man in the golden robe couldn''t believe it. The Huai Dragon Pce was integrated with the waterways. Attacking the Huai Dragon Pce was equivalent to attacking the core waterways of the Nine Rivers Domain.


    Just on this point alone, it was something that most True Immortals could not achieve, let alone Half-Step Immortal Kings.


    Moreover, in such a short period, to uproot the entire Huai Dragon Pce, it was too unbelievable.


    "Immortal King." The man in the golden robe''s thoughts trembled. Only a high and mighty Immortal King could aplish such a scene.


    The core domains of the Eastern Cloud Dao Prefecture had Immortal King artifacts suppressing them, but while the Immortal King artifacts could indeed break through the Huai Dragon Pce, they couldn''t do it so cleanly and easily.


    "The Huai Dragon Pce has offended an Immortal King?"


    The man in the golden robe''s heart was filled with fear. If the Huai Dragon Pce, as one of the dominant forces in the Nine Rivers Domain, had offended an Immortal King, would it lead to trouble for the Nine Rivers Domain? Would it involve his Dragon''s Nest?


    Since that mysterious Immortal King could make such arge Huai Dragon Pce disappear, it meant that they could make the Dragon''s Nest disappear as well.


    In essence, the Huai Dragon Pce and the Dragon''s Nest were no different; they were just in different locations.


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    One by one, True Immortals from the Nine Rivers Domain appeared before the giant pit, looking at the dark pit, feeling a chill in their hearts.


    The conclusion that the man in the golden robe could draw, most of the True Immortals could also specte. Only someone who overlooked the Spirit Realm, an Immortal King, could make the Huai Dragon Pce so powerless, unable to even struggle, let alone resist.


    "What should we do?"


    "Which Immortal King did the Huai Dragon Pce offend?"


    "This Huai Dragon Pce is really damned. Even if they offend an Immortal King, what if it implicates us?"


    "No, no, I''ve decided to migrate to another domain. The Nine Rivers Domain is too dangerous now, under the gaze of some Immortal King."


    "I''m migrating too. Let''s go together."


    The True Immortals of the Nine Rivers Domainmunicated, many of them nning to abandon their nests they had been operating in the Nine Rivers Domain for so many years.


    Although living in the Nine Rivers Domain was veryfortable,pared to their own lives, what didfort matter?


    They didn''t want to suddenly disappear one day like the Huai Dragon Pce did.


    Outside the Martial Temple.


    Cangqing Immortal tightly watched Lin Yuan''s outstretched right hand.


    With his palm facing downwards, he gently lifted it.


    The next moment.


    Lin Yuan retracted his right hand, and the palm that had been facing downwards was now facing upwards.


    Cangqing Immortal blinked, suddenly realizing that Lin Yuan''s palm, which had been empty, now had a pce in it.


    The pce was extremely exquisite, and faintly, terrifying power circted between its walls.


    "Why does this pce look so familiar?"


    Cangqing Immortal''s head was spinning, feeling that the pce that had suddenly appeared in Lin Yuan''s palm was exceptionally familiar.


    He must have seen it somewhere before.


    Roar!


    Faint roars emanated from inside the pce.


    Inside the pce, numerous long creatures were trapped, as if bound by invisible forces, unable to break out of the pce''s confines.


    The more Cangqing Immortal looked, the wider his eyes became.


    If this pce were magnified billions of times, and those tiny long creatures were also magnified billions of times, it would be discovered that this pce was exactly the same as the Huai Dragon Pce.


    And those tiny long creatures were none other than the dragon n True Immortals of the Huai Dragon Pce, especially the white "long creature", whether in terms of size or power, exceeded the other "long creatures" by arge margin, precisely the Huai Dragon Pce Lord who had undergone the Trial of the Flesh.


    Once the source of headaches for Cangqing Immortal, and even considered a major threat by the Xuan King Pce, the Half-Step Immortal King, was now trapped inside the pce, like an ant.


    "This..."


    Cangqing Immortal''s gaze was dull.


    Suddenly, he remembered the sentence Lin Yuan had just said¡ª


    "Just grab it directly."


    At that time, Cangqing Immortal thought that Lin Yuan intended to send his subordinates to capture the legitimate heirs of the Huai Dragon Pce and question them.


    As an Immortal King who had undergone the Trial of the Flesh, Lin Yuan must have some loyal subordinates.


    Coupled with some Immortal King artifacts and other means, threatening the numerous dragon n True Immortals of the Huai Dragon Pce to surrender should not be a problem.


    But Cangqing Immortal also had doubts in his heart. This action was not as effective as him bringing Lin Yuan''s Immortal King decree tomand the Huai Dragon Pce toe quickly.


    But since it was the will of the Martial Ancestor, Cangqing Immortal dared not ask too much.


    However.


    When he saw the "miniature" Huai Dragon Pce in Lin Yuan''s hand, Cangqing Immortal realized that what Lin Yuan meant by "just grab it directly" was meant literally, without any metaphor or analogy.


    To capture the entire Huai Dragon Pce, numerous True Immortal dragon n members¡ª


    With just one palm.

 Chapter 261

    Chapter 261


    Inside the Huai Dragon Pce, many true immortal dragon descendants were filled with fear.


    After oveing their initial confusion, these dragon descendants also realized that the being attacking them was very likely a Tribtion Immortal King.


    If not a Tribtion Immortal King, who could effortlessly suppress dozens of true immortal dragon descendants and the pce master of Huai Dragon Pce, a half-step Immortal King who had passed the tribtion of the physical body?


    If not a Tribtion Immortal King, who could ignore the core water veins of the Nine Rivers Domain, treat the Huai Dragon Pce, which spanned a million miles, as a toy, and hold it in their palm?


    "Pce Master, when did we offend an Immortal King?"


    "Yeah, Pce Master, what exactly happened?"


    "A Tribtion Immortal King, such an existence, why would they attack ants like us?"


    One by one, the true immortal dragon descendants looked at the Pce Master of Huai Dragon Pce in fear and asked.


    Although they were all trapped inside the Huai Dragon Pce and couldn''t get out, basicmunication was still possible.The Pce Master''s face was gloomy, scanning the many panic-stricken true immortal dragon descendants.


    Her brows couldn''t help but furrow tightly.


    How could she know when the Huai Dragon Pce offended a Tribtion Immortal King?


    Although the Huai Dragon Pce acted domineeringly, they knew who not to offend. Those who might have an Immortal King backing them or influential forces, they would never offend, and would even serve well.


    "Which Immortal King is it?"


    Although the Pce Master of Huai Dragon Pce was also terrified, she realized that fear was meaningless. If the Immortal King really wanted to kill them, none of the dragon descendants could survive.


    "Hmm?"


    The Pce Master of Huai Dragon Pce looked up outside the Huai Dragon Pce.


    At a nce, she saw the massive figure overlooking them.


    The Huai Dragon Pce, spanning a million miles, was only one-tenth the size of the opponent''s palm. Compared to this huge figure, the Pce Master of Huai Dragon Pce was insignificantly small, unable to even see the full picture of Lin Yuan.


    "This should be the Immortal King who attacked my Huai Dragon Pce." The Pce Master of Huai Dragon Pce was certain.


    Other true immortal dragon descendants also saw Lin Yuan, but due to the close distance, they couldn''t see the full picture, only confirming that this Immortal King had a human form.


    Having a human form didn''t necessarily mean he was human.


    "Great Immortal King, all beings of my Huai Dragon Pce are willing to submit." The Pce Master of Huai Dragon Pce immediately said respectfully.


    She understood that the fate of the entire Huai Dragon Pce depended on the whim of this mysterious Immortal King.


    "Submit?"


    Lin Yuan smiled slightly.


    Then he looked at Cangqing Immortal beside him, "What do you think?"


    "What do I think?" Cangqing Immortal trembled, not knowing why Lin Yuan was asking him at this moment.


    "Is that¡­"


    The Pce Master of Huai Dragon Pce looked aside and immediately saw Cangqing Immortal.


    Although in their eyes at this moment, Cangqing Immortal was also a giant, the distance was much farther, and they could roughly see his appearance.


    "It''s Cangqing?"


    The Pce Master''s heart turned cold.


    The Huai Dragon Pce had been fighting with the Daoist Immortal Sect for so many years, and Cangqing Immortal knew her very well. Naturally, she was also very familiar with Cangqing Immortal.


    However, the more familiar she was, the more despair she felt.


    The enmity between the Huai Dragon Pce and the Daoist Immortal Sect was too great. They had been killing each other for hundreds of thousands of years, with countless subordinates dying.


    Now that the Huai Dragon Pce had fallen into the hands of Cangqing Immortal, how could there be any good oue?


    "Forget it."


    "I''ll decide."


    Lin Yuan noticed that Cangqing Immortal didn''t dare to make a decision and moved his mind slightly.


    The Huai Dragon Pce in his palm immediately began to copse. All matter, whether living or non-living, was turned into the most primal essence.


    Finally, it formed a thumb-sized essence pill.


    The essence pill refined from all the dragon descendants, including the Pce Master, a half-step Immortal King who had passed the physical body tribtion, and the Huai Dragon Pce itself, even had a negligible effect on Lin Yuan.


    Although Cangqing Immortal didn''t dare to make a decision, Lin Yuan could sense his thoughts.


    That was to eliminate future troublespletely.


    Moreover, the Huai Dragon Pce had a significant causal connection with Jun Dongjin. The former had severely injured thetter, reducing his chances of breaking through to the Dao Fusion Stage.


    Therefore, Lin Yuan had no intention of sparing the Huai Dragon Pce.


    "The Huai Dragon Pce is gone."


    Cangqing Immortal was stunned, not out of pity or sympathy, but because a lineage that had been passed down for millions of years had ended in such a dramatic scene.


    "The strength of the Martial Ancestor..." Cangqing Immortal cautiously nced at Lin Yuan''s back, his heart trembling even more.


    A Tribtion Immortal King is supreme. If an Immortal King attacked the Huai Dragon Pce, they could indeed do what Lin Yuan did.


    Breaking through heavy barriers and grabbing the entire Huai Dragon Pce.


    Many descriptions collected by the Daoist Immortal Sect about Tribtion Immortal Kings could confirm this point.


    But the premise was that the Tribtion Immortal King was near the Huai Dragon Pce, not too far away. Only at close range could the Immortal King''s strength be fully exerted.


    The farther the distance, the more the power of the same strike would dissipate. Not to mention that Lin Yuan, separated by two major domains, easily captured the entire Huai Dragon Pce, which involved not just the problem of distance.


    But also the insight into the essence of heaven and earth and the mastery of spatial mysteries.


    In short, Lin Yuan''s strength seemed to exceed the normal limits of what a Tribtion Immortal King could do.


    The Pce Master of Huai Dragon Pce never knew that she and the entire Huai Dragon Pce had instantly crossed billions of miles to reach the Martial Temple, so she thought Lin Yuan was a Tribtion Immortal King.


    But Cangqing Immortal saw it clearly. The Huai Dragon Pce, originally located in the Nine Rivers Domain, was easily captured by Lin Yuan.


    "The little guy from back then, seeing him again, not only has he be an Immortal King, but also among the Immortal Kings, he can be considered..."


    Cangqing Immortal was filled with emotion, not knowing how to describe Lin Yuan.


    Whether ordinary Immortal Kings or supreme Immortal Kings, for him, there wasn''t much difference, as they were all unattainable beings.


    "Regarding the destruction of the Huai Dragon Pce, just report it truthfully." Lin Yuan said calmly.


    This meant there was no need to hide that the mysterious Immortal King who destroyed the Huai Dragon Pce was the Martial Ancestor.


    Lin Yuan decided this after careful consideration. With his current strength, there was no need to hide his identity.


    Showing some of his strength had many benefits.


    First, it could greatly promote the martial arts cultivation system.


    Encouraging more cultivators to embark on the path of martial arts.


    A cultivation system whose topbat power was true immortals was entirely different from one whose topbat power was Immortal Kings.


    Lin Yuan, as the Martial Ancestor, standing shoulder to shoulder with Tribtion Immortal Kings, proved that martial arts was also a path to heaven.


    Secondly, Lin Yuan had always wanted to connect with other Tribtion Immortal Kings in the Spirit Realm, but these Immortal Kings were either nowhere to be found or too far away.


    Since that was the case, Lin Yuan disyed his strength to attract those Immortal Kings.


    "Yes." Cangqing Immortal replied respectfully.


    Spreading the word was not difficult for the Daoist Immortal Sect.


    The destruction of the Huai Dragon Pce caused a huge uproar throughout the entire Dongyun Dao State, and even nearby Dao States were shaken by this event.


    It wasn''t that the Huai Dragon Pce had great influence. In fact, even if the Huai Dragon Pce obtained the Celestial Water, it would still be difficult topete with the core forces of a Dao State.


    The reason the destruction of the Huai Dragon Pce caused such a stir was entirely because the being who destroyed it was almost certainly a Tribtion Immortal King.


    The appearance of a Tribtion Immortal King could indeed shake multiple Dao States, triggering discussions like a tsunami.


    "Which Immortal King did it?"


    "I''m also curious. It''s just the Huai Dragon Pce. An Immortal King could have just given the order, and I would have personally destroyed it. Why would an Immortal King do it themselves?"


    "Finally, our Dongyun Dao State has another Immortal King."


    In the Xuan King Domain, the Dongyun Dao State, and even other Dao States, countless true immortals were abuzz.


    This was an Immortal King.


    At the peak of the Dao Fusion Stage, a true immortal might hope to see one or two Immortal Kings after traveling through the three thousand Dao States for a long time.


    As countless forces discussed the mysterious Immortal King''s origin, a force named the Daoist Immortal Sect from the Xuan King Domain announced that the mysterious Immortal King who destroyed the Huai Dragon Pce was the Martial Ancestor of the Martial Temple.


    This news spread like a hurricane.


    The true identity of a Tribtion Immortal King was incredibly important information.


    "The Martial Ancestor of the Martial Temple? I have some impression of the Martial Temple. It''s a cultivation system focusing on forging the physical body. The strongest should beparable to true immortals. Can this cultivation system produce an Immortal King?"


    "Is this true? A Martial Temple confined to a city can have an Immortal King?"


    "It shouldn''t be fake. No matter how bold the Daoist Immortal Sect is, they wouldn''t dare to lie about an Immortal King''s identity, right?"


    Although many true immortals doubted the information that the mysterious Immortal King came from the Martial Temple, they didn''t dare to publicly refute it.


    Are you kidding?


    You might challenge other forces, and they wouldn''t care much because of the distance, but challenging an Immortal King¡­ no matter how far you run, you can''t escape an Immortal King''s wrath.


    "I must go to the Xuan King Domain to visit the Martial Ancestor. This is an existenceparable to an Immortal King."


    "I''m going too. If the Martial Ancestor agrees to take me as a disciple, I''m willing to abandon my current cultivation and follow the path of martial arts."


    "Taking you as a disciple? Look at yourself in the mirror. That''s an Immortal King-level figure, and you think they would take you as a disciple?"


    Many true immortals from dozens of nearby Dao States started heading towards the Dongyun Dao State.


    At the peak of the Dao Fusion Stage, a true immortal hoping to see an Immortal King might do so through this kind of opportunity when an Immortal King shows themselves in a certain ce.


    Compared to these true immortals, countless lower-level cultivators were even more excited.


    "The martial arts cultivation system can also produce Immortal King-level figures?"


    "Just as I suspected, my spiritual roots are not great, and my potential in the immortal path is limited. I''ve decided to go to the Martial Temple to seek a master."


    "Yes, with an Immortal King in the martial arts system, bing a martial arts cultivator is much better than joining those other forces. Most of them have never produced an Immortal King."


    Martial Temple.


    Many martial arts cultivators were bewildered.


    "What? Our Martial Ancestor not only returned but also became an Immortal King and destroyed the Huai Dragon Pce effortlessly?"


    "This... this¡­"


    Many newly joined cultivators felt like happiness had fallen from the sky.


    Initially, joining the Martial Temple meant they couldn''tpete with disciples from the Daoist Immortal Sect or the Xuan King Pce, but now, those disciples mighte to fawn over them instead.


    Outside Xiaoyao City.


    Jun Haiqiu, Jun Nangong, and Jun Yunxun, three outstanding juniors of the Jun family, finally arrived at Xiaoyao City.


    "Our ancestor Wujie has be an Immortal King?"


    The three of them looked at each other. They were not like Cangqing Immortal, who hade from the Daoist Immortal Sect to Xiaoyao City in a short time.


    They heard the news that the Martial Ancestor had be an Immortal King on the way.


    "Our ancestor Wujie disappeared for hundreds of thousands of years, and upon reappearing, he is an Immortal King? It feels like a dream."


    The three Jun family juniors felt the sudden and intense happiness was overwhelming.


    They had thought their ancestor would be strong, given the legends they had grown up hearing, but they only imagined he would be simr to Cangqing Immortal.


    An Immortal King?


    They hadn''t even considered it.


    If bing an Immortal King was so easy, the three thousand Dao States wouldn''t have so few Immortal Kings.


    "Will our ancestor Wujie, now an Immortal King, not want to see us?" Jun Haiqiu hesitated.


    That was an Immortal King.


    High above.


    Overlooking the three thousand Dao States.


    "No matter what, he is still our ancestor. Let''s go visit him first." Jun Nangong hesitated for a moment, then decided. They were already at Xiaoyao City, even if they couldn''t see him, they had to try.


    In the Fourth Heaven.


    An old man in a purple robe suddenly stopped.


    He nced at the location of the Dongyun Dao State below.


    "I didn''t expect a fellow Daoist to be born in such a remote Dao State¡­" The purple-robed old man was also a Tribtion Immortal King.


    The Spirit Realm was vast, and Tribtion Immortal Kings were extremely rare. It was hard to meet a fellow Daoist, so the purple-robed old man naturally wanted to visit.


    "The Martial Ancestor¡­ never heard of this title. I guess it''s a newly ascended Immortal King?"


    The purple-robed old man spected.


    Those powerful Immortal Kings, like the Supreme Immortal Kings, were known throughout the three thousand Dao States, and even other Immortal Kings had to show enough respect.


    The Martial Ancestor?


    The purple-robed old man considered himself well-informed and well-connected, but he had never heard of such an Immortal King.


    So he reasonably assumed this Martial Ancestor had recently ascended to the Tribtion stage.


    Swish.


    The purple-robed old man instantly arrived outside Xiaoyao City, stopping on a distant mountaintop.


    "Let me see what the demeanor of this newly ascended Immortal King is like?" The purple-robed old man''s eyes faintly gleamed with purple light.


    After entering the Tribtion stage, an Immortal King''s presence begins to affect the surroundings, even connecting with the Spirit Realm, revealing some "aura."


    This kind of aura has no specific form and is hard to observe, but the purple-robed old man practiced a secret technique that allowed him to somewhat capture this Immortal King''s aura.


    "If it''s a newly ascended Immortal King, the aura shouldn''t be significant. Those veteran Immortal Kings, even the Supreme Immortal Kings, their mere aura can stir the Nine Heavens¡­"


    The purple-robed old man thought while observing the location of Xiaoyao City.


    In the Tribtion stage, the longer one cultivates and the stronger they be, the more they unconsciously influence their surroundings, resulting in a more terrifying Immortal King''s aura.


    Nearly resembling some "wonders" or "visions" in the Nine Heavens.


    Through the Immortal King''s aura, one can also judge the strength of the Immortal King to some extent.


    "What?!!"


    The more the purple-robed old man observed, the more his expression changed, ultimately showing shock.

 Chapter 262

    Chapter 262


    "Such an Immortal King''s aura¡­"


    The purple-robed elder gazed towards the direction of Xiaoyao City, or more urately, at the vast area beneath the sky above Xiaoyao City.


    To the eyes of true immortals, it appeared empty, and even ordinary Tribtion Immortal Kings wouldn''t sense anything.


    But in the vision of the purple-robed elder, a grand world was evolving there, vast and unparalleled. Just a wisp of its aura was no weaker than the aura of an ordinary Immortal King.


    "The aura is actually a world¡­"


    The purple-robed elder trembled. The auras of most Immortal Kings usually took the form of an object, such as a heavenly pir or an ocean.


    But this grand world''s aura was more than just an aura; it epassed countless other auras.


    "The Martial Ancestor is definitely not a newly ascended Immortal King."


    The purple-robed elder steadied himself. How could a newly ascended Immortal King have such a grand aura? Although an Immortal King''s aura is not directly proportional to their power, this grand aura could not be disyed by an ordinary Immortal King.A world containing many phenomena, even those peak Tribtion Immortal Kings who had cultivated for millions of years couldn''t achieve this.


    "An Supreme Immortal King. Only an Supreme Immortal King who has masteredplete creation force could possibly condense such an aura."


    The purple-robed elder took a deep breath. Tribtion Immortal Kings are divided into two types.


    First are the normal Immortal Kings, including newly ascended, ordinary, veteran, and peak Immortal Kings. While there are differences in power among these four levels, mainly due to their mastery of creation force, the differences aren''t vast. Even a peak Immortal King would find it hard to kill a newly ascended Immortal King.


    At the Tribtion stage, after oveing the physical and mind tribtions and mastering creation force, their survival abilities be exceptionally strong. If they couldn''t win, they could still escape.


    The second type of Tribtion Immortal King is the Supreme Immortal King.


    Supreme Immortal Kings have masteredplete creation force, and some even more than one type of creation force. Their power has virtually no limits. Some ancient Supreme Immortal Kings could easily kill a peak Immortal King.


    Thus, even among Tribtion Immortal Kings, Supreme Immortal Kings are beings to be feared and respected.


    Of course, the number of Supreme Immortal Kings is exceedingly small, with only a few known.


    "I never expected the Martial Ancestor to be an Supreme Immortal King..."


    The purple-robed elder felt a chill down his spine but couldn''t help feeling curious.


    Every existence leaves traces, especially an Supreme Immortal King. Bing an Supreme Immortal King requires more than just seclusion; it requires interaction with the outside world and exploring numerous secret realms. The growth trajectory of any Supreme Immortal King cannot bepletely secret.


    But the Martial Ancestor¡­


    The purple-robed elder, considering himself knowledgeable, had never heard of any Supreme Immortal King rted to "Martial."


    "Could it be an old one from the prehistoric era who has resurfaced?" the purple-robed elder spected.


    A long time ago, there was a historical break in the Spirit Realm, and before this break was the prehistoric era. It''s said that the Spirit Realm in the prehistoric era was extremely glorious, with Immortal Kings traveling the universe. But due to a cataclysmic event, many Immortal Kings fell, leading to the current era of the three thousand Dao States.


    The purple-robed elder could only attribute Lin Yuan''s sudden appearance as an Supreme Immortal King to the prehistoric era. Otherwise, there was no other exnation.


    "Time to leave. Whether it''s an Supreme Immortal King from the prehistoric era or not, it''s best not to approach."


    Before understanding this Supreme Immortal King''s character, the purple-robed elder decided to stay away.


    If Lin Yuan were merely a newly ascended Immortal King or even a veteran or peak Immortal King, he wouldn''t mind interacting.


    But an Supreme Immortal King from the prehistoric era? The purple-robed elder dared not approach without caution.


    The stronger one is, the more they understand the terror of an Supreme Immortal King, especially one from a glorious prehistoric era.


    "Go." The purple-robed elder turned to leave.


    But the next moment, he froze.


    A figure had appeared nearby, with hands behind their back, facing away from him.


    "It''s the Martial Ancestor¡­"


    The purple-robed elder''s scalp tingled. To appear beside him without him noticing, not even a peak Immortal King could do that¡ªonly the Martial Ancestor could.


    "Greetings to the Martial Ancestor."


    In a sh, the purple-robed elder slightly bowed with respect.


    Since the Martial Ancestor had appeared here, it meant he had been discovered. Running now was clearly toote.


    "Hmm." Lin Yuan nced at the purple-robed elder, feeling quite satisfied.


    He had revealed part of his strength not only to promote the martial arts cultivation system but also to attract other Tribtion Immortal Kings.


    This would allow him to obtain the true upperyer information of the Spirit Realm.


    The Spirit Realm was vast, and the three thousand Dao States were only a small part. If Lin Yuan had to find those Tribtion Immortal Kings himself, it would take a lot of time.


    So, he opted for waiting for them toe to him.


    The moment the purple-robed elder approached Xiaoyao City, Lin Yuan had sensed him.


    As the purple-robed elder observed the Martial Ancestor''s aura, Lin Yuan was also observing him.


    Though he didn''t know what method the purple-robed elder used, Lin Yuan had felt a faint sense of being watched in that moment.


    This observation was only superficial and couldn''t detect Lin Yuan''s essence, but it was still impressive.


    "Is there something the Martial Ancestor needs me to do? I will obey," the purple-robed elder volunteered.


    Although he didn''t know the Martial Ancestor''s purpose, since he appeared, it wouldn''t be just for a meeting.


    "I have a few questions for you," Lin Yuan said casually.


    "Please ask, Martial Ancestor."


    "As long as I know, I will speak without reservation."


    The purple-robed elder breathed a slight sigh of relief.


    It didn''t matter if it was a few questions or hundreds; he would answer without hesitation.


    "Where do most Tribtion Immortal Kings stay?" Lin Yuan asked directly.


    So far, there were few traces of Tribtion Immortal Kings in the three thousand Dao States. Not only in the Dongyun Dao State but even in the core Dao States, there were only legacies left by Immortal Kings.


    Other Dao States asionally had rumors of Immortal Kings, but they were just rumors.


    For example, in the Nine Rivers Domain, there were rumors of it being the nd of transformation" for a Tribtion Dragon King.


    As for the Immortal Kings themselves, they remained unseen.


    This puzzled Lin Yuan. Though Tribtion Immortal Kings were rare, they had long lifespans. Even if one didn''t emerge in a single era, umtions over multiple eras should yield a few.


    "Where are the Immortal Kings?"


    Lin Yuan''s question made the purple-robed elder''s heart skip a beat.


    He was more certain that Lin Yuan was an Supreme Immortal King from the prehistoric era.


    Otherwise, how could he not know suchmon knowledge?


    Generally, only newly ascended Immortal Kings, especially those without background, would ask this question.


    If they had Immortal King elders, how could they not know?


    But clearly, Lin Yuan wasn''t a newly ascended Immortal King. The purple-robed elder had never seen Lin Yuan in action, but he already regarded him as an Supreme Immortal King.


    Having the power of an Supreme Immortal King but being ignorant of this era''s affairs¡ªit had to be a relic from the prehistoric era.


    Thinking this, the purple-robed elder grew more respectful. He knew little about the prehistoric era, only that a catastrophe urred, leading to the fall of even some Supreme Immortal Kings.


    Surviving Supreme Immortal Kings from that era were undoubtedly the elite among the elite.


    "Replying to the Martial Ancestor, in this era, most Tribtion Immortal Kings are found in two ces."


    "One is the destends beyond the three thousand Dao States. Although deste and far inferior to the three thousand Dao States, they bear traces of the prehistoric era, which greatly aids us ordinary Immortal Kings."


    The purple-robed elder paused slightly on the words "prehistoric era" and nced at Lin Yuan, who remained calm and unmoved, making the elder''s heart tremble again.


    "Destends beyond the three thousand Dao States?" Lin Yuan pondered. He had once explored the destends with his primordial spirit but found nothing and lost interest.


    "The second is the Nine Heavens. But for us Immortal Kings, the first four heavens are unremarkable. The real significance starts from the Fifth Heaven. Usually, only peak Immortal Kings or Supreme Immortal Kings can reach it."


    The purple-robed elder continued.


    "I see." Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    Since the transformation of his Tai Chi power, and the fusion of his Yin and Yang primordial spirits into the Tai Chi primordial spirit, he had reached thebat power of an eighth-rank invincible, or Supreme Immortal King.


    He had long ascended to the Fifth Heaven but had yet to encounter another Immortal King.


    After all, the Fifth Heaven was vast, and even Supreme Immortal Kings were like drops in the ocean.


    Moreover, Lin Yuan''s Tai Chi primordial spirit was observing the "wonders" and "phenomena" of the Fifth Heaven, using his Unrivaled Insight toprehend them, rather than seeking out other Immortal Kings.


    Not encountering them was normal.


    "It''s said that the Ninth Heaven holds great secrets rted to the end of the prehistoric era. All Supreme Immortal Kings aim to enter the Ninth Heaven¡­"


    The purple-robed elder suddenly said.


    Lin Yuan''s expression remained unchanged.


    He had heard of the legends about the Ninth Heaven.


    The Nine Heavens of the Spirit Realm, essible to true immortals at the Dao Fusion Stage, were not a secret.


    There was an ancient saying rted to the Nine Heavens of the Spirit Realm:


    "There are always people better than you, and skies beyond skies. In the Ninth Heaven, there are celestial beings."


    Here, the Ninth Heaven was the Ninth Heaven, but what celestial beings were had no clear exnation.


    Next, Lin Yuan asked a few more questions.


    Mostly aboutmon knowledge.


    Such as how many Supreme Immortal Kings exist in this era, and so on.


    The more the purple-robed elder answered, the more frightened he became, but he truthfully shared everything he knew.


    "Onest thing."


    Lin Yuan looked at the purple-robed elder and spoke.


    "Please speak, Martial Ancestor," the purple-robed elder responded immediately, without hesitation.


    "I''ve heard that Tribtion Immortal Kings master some form of creation force. What creation force do you possess?"


    Lin Yuan asked.


    From his close observation of the purple-robed elder, he was sure the elder had not opened an inner world.


    But the elder''s power, as Lin Yuan sensed, was not weaker than an eighth-rank evolver in the main world.


    Without relying on an inner world yetparable to an eighth-rank evolver, the key likelyy in the "creation force" mastered by Immortal Kings.


    "Martial Ancestor, the creation force I possess is called Innate Purple Qi." The purple-robed elder extended his right hand, showing wisps of purple gas swirling around his fingers.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan observed closely. "Could you give me a wisp?"


    "If the Martial Ancestor wants it, of course." The purple-robed elder was puzzled but, as a Tribtion Immortal King, it was simple to share a bit of his creation force.


    "Alright."


    "You may go now."


    "If I need you, I''ll contact you."


    Lin Yuan stored the wisp of Innate Purple Qi, speaking calmly.


    "Yes."


    The purple-robed elder sighed in relief, bowed to Lin Yuan again, and quickly turned to leave.


    In a ce countless miles away from Xiaoyao City.


    The purple-robed elder revealed himself, finally rxing.


    "Seems like the Martial Ancestor isn''t a bloodthirsty Supreme Immortal King." The elder was still shaken. The prehistoric era supposedly had some Supreme Immortal Kings who enjoyed hunting Immortal Kings.


    "The Martial Ancestor asked many questions about the Supreme Immortal Kings of this era. Does he have another purpose?"


    After settling down, the purple-robed elder began to ponder.


    He spected that perhaps the Martial Ancestor aimed to restore the glory of the prehistoric era?


    "No matter what the Martial Ancestor''s goal is, I must seize this opportunity." The purple-robed elder decided. He had obtained the Martial Ancestor''s contact information.


    This meant the Martial Ancestor allowed him to stay in touch.


    Being able to contact an Supreme Immortal King at any time, especially one from the prehistoric era, was an enormous opportunity.


    Initially, the purple-robed elder intended to stay away from the Martial Ancestor due to uncertainty about his character.


    Fearing he might encounter a bloodthirsty Supreme Immortal King, he hesitated to approach.


    But now, after a brief interaction, the purple-robed elder felt he had some understanding of the Martial Ancestor. Although limited, he sensed the Martial Ancestor wasn''t a reckless killer.


    Martial Temple.


    Lin Yuan returned to his cave.


    "Prehistoric era?"


    "And the Ninth Heaven?"


    The purple-robed elder''s answers showed the greatest reaction to these terms, revealing emotions of reverence and fear.


    "Forget it."


    "These matters can wait."


    Lin Yuan stopped pondering.


    Whether the prehistoric era or the Ninth Heaven, these were not his current priorities.


    What Lin Yuan truly wanted to confirm now was the creation force possessed by the purple-robed elder.


    Innate Purple Qi.


    Lin Yuan raised his right hand, and a wisp of purple gas appeared¡ªthe Innate Purple Qi left by the purple-robed elder.


    "This aura¡­"


    Lin Yuan observed carefully and concluded.


    This Innate Purple Qi was simr to the cosmic power he mastered¡ªthe Tai Chi force.

 Chapter 263

    Chapter 263


    "Is this actually a kind of cosmic power?"


    Lin Yuan observed repeatedly and finally came to a conclusion.


    The innate purple energy mastered by the old man in purple robes, when ced in the main world, could only be mastered by an invincible entity at the eighth rank, which is a form of cosmic power.


    "I see."


    Lin Yuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly realized.


    No wonder the Immortal Kings of the Spirit Realm could rival eighth-rank Evolvers from the main world without the support of an internal world.


    The internal worlds of eighth-rank Evolvers extend a force known as world power, which allows human Evolvers to catch up with those innately powerful special life forms.


    Very few forces at the same level can match the enhancement that world power brings to Evolvers.


    But cosmic power is definitely one of them.In fact, the increase inbat power caused by cosmic power surpasses that of world power.


    The innate purple energy mastered by the old man in purple robes is only a partial power, and once fully mastered, it can rival the peak eighth-rank Evolvers even without world power.


    "Those supreme Immortal Kings, without an internal world, can still rival the invincible eighth rank, and the power they master must belong to higher cosmic power."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The invincible entities of the eighth rank in the main world are also divided into strong and weak. Although the strongest cannot defeat the weakest, they can suppress them. The difference lies in the variation of cosmic power.


    Some cosmic powers are simply stronger than others, and the former are referred to as higher cosmic powers.


    "Opportunity."


    "This is my greatest opportunity from this journey!"


    Lin Yuan''s eyes lit up. What was the greatest help brought to him by this eighth journey? Was it developing the eighth rank of martial arts?


    No.


    The eighth rank can be developed and perfected anywhere.


    Even without the journey, in the main world, as long as Lin Yuan had time, he could develop it just the same.


    Understanding the model of space rules?


    It''s not much different from developing the eighth rank of martial arts.


    It wasn''t necessarily tied to the Spirit Realm.


    Before knowing that the power mastered by the Immortal Kings was equivalent to cosmic power.


    The greatest help that the journey to the Spirit Realm provided Lin Yuan was saving time and referencing the Immortal Dao cultivation system and other cultivation systems.


    But now.


    After confirming the essence of the power of creation.


    Lin Yuan was extremely certain that the power of creation was his greatest gain.


    An irreceable, unparalleled gain.


    In the universe of the main world, each cosmic power is unique, cannot be replicated or simted.


    Once a strong individualprehends a certain cosmic power, subsequent beings cannotprehend it.


    This is a rule of the main world.


    The "rules" here are not the rules of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder, and light.


    But the "limitations" from the main world.


    For instance, all life below the strongest one has a lifespan limit.


    This is also a rule of the main world.


    There is also the speed limit in the universe, the speed of light. Once you exceed the speed of light, you enter a wormhole.


    These are also rules of the main world.


    "The ''limitations'' of the main world do not apply in the Spirit Realm, at least not regarding cosmic power. The Spirit Realm is much more lenient, without the rule that a certain power of creation can only be mastered by one Immortal King."


    Lin Yuan''s heart was slightly excited. This meant that in the Spirit Realm, he could fullyprehend arge number of powers of creation.


    Then return to the main world, where these powers of creation would collectively transform into cosmic powers.


    In the long history of the main world''s starry sky, many invincible eighth ranks have been born, but the vast majority of them only master one cosmic power.


    A very few, due to various idents, mastered two cosmic powers, which is already the limit.


    For a normal eighth-rank powerhouse, there are two goals: to step into the ninth rank or to master a certain cosmic power.


    But for an invincible eighth-rank, there is only one goal, and that is to step into the ninth rank.


    Only by breaking through to the ninth rank can their lifespan be extended, and continuing toprehend other cosmic powers is not only foolish but also uncertain to seed.


    Theprehension of each cosmic power involves a degree of luck without a fixed direction. How can you be sure that the direction you choose toprehend will lead to a cosmic power?


    This was the key to Lin Yuan''s excitement.


    Without discovering the essence of the power of creation, even if he knew the Spirit Realm had fewer restrictions on cosmic power.


    He wouldn''t have had any other thoughts.


    Comprehending more cosmic powers? One must know that before understanding the rules of Yang and Yin, Lin Yuan himself didn''t know that the power of Tai Chi would be a cosmic power.


    Even with unrivaled insight, attempting toprehend another cosmic power would waste a lot of time, slowing down or even halting Lin Yuan''sprehension in other areas.


    But now.


    With a clear path ofprehending the power of creation, Lin Yuan only needed to spend timeprehending and feeling it, just like the path of evolution.


    In the Spirit Realm,prehending a power of creation, when returned to the main world, would be a unique cosmic power.


    "Innate purple energy. Human civilization''s records of many invincible eighth ranks do not show anyone mastering this cosmic power."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself, although it''s possible there might be unrecorded invincible eighth ranks who mastered the innate purple energy, the probability is low. Moreover, Lin Yuan''s goal was not just this cosmic power, but also the other powers of creation mastered by the Immortal Kings.


    "Human civilization''s exnation of cosmic power is that it greatly aids stepping into the ninth rank in the future. Theoretically, the more cosmic powers one masters, the greater this aid, but it''s ultimately just a theory."


    Lin Yuan silently thought.


    A normal eighth-rank Evolver, no matter how extraordinarily talented, can at most master one cosmic power, at best two. As for more?


    It has never happened.


    Because it''s unrealistic.


    "Comprehending a power of creation is very difficult for other Immortal Kings. With that time, it''s better to deepen their understanding of the already mastered power of creation, but I have unrivaled insight. It''s just a matter of time."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    He could already imagine, once he returned to the main world, mastering dozens of cosmic powers,bined with his internal world that far surpasses the constraints of human Evolvers.


    He might even hope topete with ninth-rank powerhouses.


    Historically, even the most powerful invincible eighth ranks could only survive against ninth-rank powerhouses, let alonepete.


    Because the method for invincible eighth ranks to survive against ninth-rank powerhouses is to hold on for a while and then wait for the aid of their ninth-rank peers.


    Normally, invincible eighth ranks have no means of resisting against ninth-rank powerhouses.


    "First, I need to fullyprehend this strand of innate purple energy."


    Lin Yuan gathered his thoughts and began to seriously observe the strand of purple energy in front of him.


    [Your insight is unrivaled. You start to try toprehend the mysterious aura.]


    [Your insight is unrivaled. You start to try toprehend the mysterious aura.]


    [Your insight is unrivaled. You start to try toprehend the mysterious aura.]


    ording to Lin Yuan''s perception of the innate purple energy, this cosmic power is just an ordinary cosmic power, iparable to higher cosmic powers.


    The power he mastered, the power of Tai Chi, should be considered a higher cosmic power, amodating two extreme rules simultaneously. Whether attacking or defending, it is nearly perfect.


    Xiaoyao City.


    As an ordinary city in the Xuan King Domain, it recently attracted numerous True Immortal level powerhouses, even some half-step Immortal Kings, alling to seek an audience with Martial Ancestor.


    Whenever there are signs of a Tribtion Immortal King, many strong individuals gather, whether or not they can meet the Immortal King, they approach first.


    Many peak True Immortals and half-step Immortal Kings, stuck at their current bottleneck for tens of thousands of years, find closed-door cultivation meaningless.


    Rather than wandering aimlessly, it''s better to try to find traces of Immortal Kings.


    There''s no loss. If it benefits them, everyone is happy. If not, it''s expected.


    For this reason.


    Xiaoyao City is now full of True Immortals and half-step Immortal Kings. Ordinary cultivators walking on the streets might encounter a famous half-step Immortal King.


    And these True Immortals and half-step Immortal Kings are extremely low-key in Xiaoyao City, not daring to cause trouble under the eyes of an Immortal King.


    At the entrance of the Martial Temple.


    Three figures walked out.


    "So many True Immortals."


    "I''ve never seen so many True Immortals in my life."


    Jun Haiqiu and two other juniors of the Jun family widened their eyes, looking at the profound auras in Xiaoyao City.


    As one of the three giants of the Xuan King Domain, the Daoist Immortal Sect has only a few dozen True Immortals, but now, there are estimated to be hundreds of thousands of True Immortals in Xiaoyao City.


    This doesn''t include the half-step Immortal Kings.


    And as time goes on, more True Immortals and half-step Immortal Kings continue to arrive.


    "The Xuan King Domain, as arge domain, generally has hundreds of True Immortal level powerhouses. The Xuan King Domain is just one of the thousands ofrge domains in the Dongyun Dao State. Martial Ancestor, as an Immortal King, attracts the attention of True Immortals from dozens or even hundreds of Dao States."


    "Hundreds of thousands of True Immortals is nothing. The number will likely exceed a million."


    Jun Nangong said in a low voice.


    "A million True Immortals."


    Jun Yunxun swallowed hard.


    "If not for Martial Ancestor, we wouldn''t be standing here now," Jun Haiqiu sighed.


    They visited Martial Ancestor and quickly met Lin Yuan.


    Lin Yuan allowed them to stay in the Martial Temple for a while and promised to guide them when he had time.


    This treatment would make those half-step Immortal Kings outside envious.


    Being able to freely enter and exit the Martial Temple is akin to experiencing the aura of Martial Ancestor up close, a great honor. For those half-step Immortal Kings, being close to an Immortal King is a huge opportunity.


    In the cave mansion.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    Inside him, orange mes burned continuously.


    After a long time, Lin Yuan''s body began to copse, turning to ashes.


    In an instant, his blood rebirth technique operated, and his body rapidly recovered, returning anew.


    "I can feel that I am almost done absorbing the orange liquid," Lin Yuan murmured, sensing the enhancement of his body and internal world.


    Now, Lin Yuan''s internal world is 6.5 timesrger than that of a normal eighth-rank Evolver.


    Aside from the 3.33 times increase from the red liquid, the orange liquid improved Lin Yuan by 3.2 times.


    This is very close to the maximum increase limit of 3.33 times forpletely absorbing the orange liquid.


    "It''s almost time for the third liquid."


    Lin Yuan thought silently.


    "Moreover, the process of absorbing the first two liquids also enhances my blood rebirth ability"


    Lin Yuan smiled.


    The blood rebirth technique, as a body technique, also strengthens, though slowly. However, thousands of times absorbing the mysterious gourd liquid, causing the body to copse and recover, naturally enhances the blood rebirth technique.


    "This is a good thing, saving me from redoing it when I return to the main world."


    Lin Yuan was in a good mood.


    In the Spirit Realm, Lin Yuan spent a hundred yearspletely absorbing the orange liquid.


    But with this hundred years of strengthening his blood rebirth technique, when he returns to the main world, it will take only a few days or at most tens of days topletely absorb the orange liquid.


    Because Lin Yuan''s understanding of the blood rebirth technique greatly improved, allowing him to endure the burning of the orange mes longer, which will also apply in the main world.


    Nine Heaven.


    Seventh Heaven.


    The Tai Chi primordial spirit ascended, scanning the surroundings.


    "First, let''s check the Seventh Heaven to see if there are any Immortal Kings."


    After learning that the power mastered by the Immortal Kings is equivalent to cosmic power.


    Lin Yuan had a great interest in finding other Immortal Kings.


    Especially those at the level of supreme Immortal Kings, the power of creation they master might be equivalent to higher cosmic powers.


    Comprehending a higher cosmic power will greatly aid Lin Yuan after stepping into the ninth rank, much more than an ordinary cosmic power.


    With limited time, Lin Yuan naturally prioritizedprehending higher cosmic powers.


    "This level of Heaven."


    Lin Yuan released his perception, trying to extend it in all directions.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan''s eyes lit up as he sensed an Immortal King''s aura.


    Whoosh.


    Lin Yuan flew towards that Immortal King.


    Momentster.


    Lin Yuan stopped.


    Looking ahead.


    There stood a towering figure, observing a phenomenon resembling a ck hole.


    "What is this?"


    Lin Yuan observed the towering figure, who carried a huge axe. Just by sitting there, the aura from the axe seemed capable of cleaving infinite worlds.


    "Is this the Opening Heaven Immortal King? The power of creation he masters is the ''Power of Opening Heaven''?" (Hmm, who is he? :D )


    Lin Yuan''s spirit trembled slightly. ording to the information from the old man in purple robes, the killing power of the Opening Heaven Immortal King is among the top three in this era of supreme Immortal Kings, with his Power of Opening Heaven almost capable of cleaving anything.


    "Hmm?"


    As if sensing someone watching, the towering Opening Heaven Immortal King nced at Lin Yuan.


    "Opening Heaven Immortal King." Lin Yuan smiled and approached.


    Momentster.


    Lin Yuan received a strand of Power of Opening Heaven and left satisfied.


    As supreme Immortal Kings, under the premise of goodwill, it wasn''t difficult to ask for a strand of Power of Opening Heaven for research.


    Of course, Lin Yuan also gave his Tai Chi power to the other as an exchange.


    The Tai Chi power, never seen before in the Spirit Realm, intrigued the Opening Heaven Immortal King, who agreed readily.


    Thus.


    Lin Yuan''s Tai Chi primordial spirit resided in the Seventh Heaven, studying various powers of creation of the Immortal Kings.


    Three hundred years passed in a sh.

 Chapter 264

    Chapter 264


    The Seventh Heaven was filled with ''wonders'' as a figure descended.


    "Finally I''m here" Lin Yuan smiled as he looked at an Immortal King sitting cross-legged in the distance. This Immortal King sat quietly, and the surrounding void was affected by an invisible force, making it extremely stable so that even ordinary people could survive there.


    It''s important to know that even in the First Heaven, one would need at least True Immortal-level strength to enter.


    Life forms below the True Immortal level who recklessly tried to ascend without the protection of a True Immortal would be unable to withstand the pressure between the heavens.


    This is true for the First Heaven.


    Not to mention the Seventh Heaven.


    Normally, only supreme Immortal Kings could reside in the Seventh Heaven.


    "Great Immortal King." Lin Yuan carefully observed the Immortal King, "One of the most famous Immortal Kings in the Three Thousand Dao States."


    The Great Immortal King was a Supreme Immortal King, and one of the Dao States among the Three Thousand Dao States was named after him, the Taishang Dao State, which was the ce of his legacy.Lin Yuan had once had the people of the Martial Temple collect many Immortal Dao techniques, including the ''Taishang Yuqing Immortal Canon'', which was created and deliberately spread by the Great Immortal King.


    "In terms of killing power, the Great Immortal King is not as strong as the Opening Heaven Immortal King, but in overall strength, they should be on the same level," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    There are also strong and weak among the supreme Immortal Kings; some who masterplete powers of creation are inherently stronger than others, and some even master multipleplete powers of creation.


    Compared to the invincible eighth-rank entities of the main world who have lifespan limitations, the supreme Immortal Kings of the Spirit Realm almost coexist with it and have plenty of time toprehend various powers of creation.


    "Martial Ancestor," the Great Immortal King opened his eyes, looked at Lin Yuan, and greeted him with a smile.


    In the past three hundred years, although Lin Yuan had never made an official move, all supreme Immortal Kings sensed the depth of Lin Yuan''s strength.


    Therefore, whether it was the Opening Heaven Immortal King, the Great Immortal King, or other supreme Immortal Kings, they were all willing to befriend Lin Yuan.


    Over the years, Lin Yuan had made many friends among the supreme Immortal Kings. Those who could reside in the Seventh Heaven were all supreme Immortal Kings, and Lin Yuan would approach andmunicate with each one he met.


    He would try to trade for the powers of creation they mastered.


    "Are you ready?" Lin Yuan looked at the Great Immortal King and said.


    "I am ready," the Great Immortal King''s expression turned solemn, and he said seriously, "Those old guys from the prehistoric era have upied the Eighth Heaven for too long. It''s about time they made room."


    For an ordinary Tribtion Immortal King like the old man in the purple robe, it was difficult toe into contact with matters rted to the prehistoric era.


    But for the supreme Immortal Kings, the prehistoric era was not a secret.


    Since the end of the prehistoric era and the beginning of the Three Thousand Dao States Era, those supreme Immortal Kings who survived from the prehistoric era had upied the Eighth Heaven.


    And they prohibited the supreme Immortal Kings born in the Three Thousand Dao States Era from ascending.


    So, for millions of years, the supreme Immortal Kings like the Opening Heaven Immortal King and the Great Immortal King had been trying to attack the Eighth Heaven.


    To explore the Ninth Heaven.


    Whether it was the prehistoric era or the Three Thousand Dao States Era, all supreme Immortal Kings were aware of one thing.


    That the Ninth Heaven held great secrets.


    There are always stronger beings and greater heavens, and beyond the Nine Heavens, there are Celestial Beings.


    This saying was not just a rumor.


    The ''Celestial Beings'' mentioned were rumored to possibly be beings beyond the level of Immortal Kings.


    The end of the prehistoric era was also rted to the Ninth Heaven.


    All supreme Immortal Kings had an immense desire for the Ninth Heaven.


    However, the Eighth Heaven, which led to the Ninth Heaven, was upied by the supreme Immortal Kings of the prehistoric era, and those born in the Three Thousand Dao States Era could not just watch this happen.


    Thus, every few hundred thousand years, the supreme Immortal Kings like the Opening Heaven Immortal King would try to attack the Eighth Heaven.


    And the ''preparation'' Lin Yuan mentioned earlier was the preparation for these supreme Immortal Kings to attack the Eighth Heaven once again.


    Of course, so far, it was still the supreme Immortal Kings of the prehistoric era who held the upper hand. The ns of the supreme Immortal Kings like the Opening Heaven Immortal King to attack the Eighth Heaven had all failed.


    "The prehistoric era..."


    Lin Yuan squinted slightly. The reason he joined the supreme Immortal Kings like the Opening Heaven Immortal King and the Great Immortal King was not just for the Ninth Heaven.


    It was more about the powers of creation mastered by the supreme Immortal Kings of the prehistoric era.


    In the past three hundred years, Lin Yuan had almost collected strands of the powers of creation mastered by all the supreme Immortal Kings of the current era.


    But he had not had much contact with the supreme Immortal Kings of the prehistoric era.


    After leaving the Great Immortal King, Lin Yuan returned to his ''residence'' in the Seventh Heaven.


    "In these three hundred years, I have made great progress," Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, especially in theprehension of cosmic power, with the powers of creation from various supreme Immortal Kings for reference.


    In just three hundred years, Lin Yuan hadprehended more than thirty kinds of cosmic power.


    Among them, four could be considered higher cosmic powers.


    The Power of Opening Heaven, the Power of Destruction, the Power of Immeasurability, and the Power of Bnce.


    As for ordinary cosmic powers, there were nearly thirty, including innate purple energy, infinite cutting, the domain of waves, supreme thunder, and so on.


    Of course, Lin Yuan had only initiallyprehended these cosmic powers and had not delved deeply into them.


    ording to the ssification of the supreme Immortal Kings of the Spirit Realm, each power of creation can be divided into three levels: First Realm, Second Realm, and Third Realm.


    Lin Yuan had onlyprehended them to the First Realm before stopping and moving on toprehend new powers of creation.


    This was also the most efficient method, to firstprehend these powers of creation, bring them back to the main world, and let them transform into cosmic powers.


    Although he could return to this world at any time with the world coordinates of the Spirit Realm, it required paying ten strands of Breaking Boundary Source Power, so he had to be cautious.


    "In fact, ordinary powers of creation are just parts of higher powers of creation," Lin Yuan thought thoughtfully.


    Although he hadprehended dozens of powers of creation, they were all at the First Realm, but they involved four higher powers of creation.


    Take the Power of Immeasurability as an example; it includes many ordinary powers of creation, such as innate purple energy and the domain of waves.


    Infinite cutting is also a facet of the higher power of creation, the Power of Opening Heaven.


    "Unfortunately, not all supreme Immortal Kings master higher powers of creation. Ordinary powers of creation, if cultivated to the Third Realm, are also close to the Second Realm of higher powers of creation."


    Lin Yuan thought silently. Most Supreme Immortal Kings, mastering several ordinary powers of creation to the Third Realm, are not much weaker inbat power than the Opening Heaven Immortal King.


    Mainly because cultivating higher powers of creation to the Third Realm is too difficult, even the Opening Heaven Immortal King and the Great Immortal King stop at the Second Realm.


    "The dozens of powers of creation I have mastered, even if they are all at the First Realm, whenbined, should not be much weaker than the Third Realm of a higher power of creation"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    If he were to onlyprehend one or two higher powers of creation, with his Unrivaled Insight, he might be able to cultivate them to the Third Realm within three hundred years.


    But that wouldn''t meet Lin Yuan''s expectations. The powers of creation in the Spirit Realm, once brought to the main world, would transform into cosmic powers, so quantity was more important than quality.


    Quality could be improved after returning to the main world, but if the quantity was not satisfactory, he would have to pay ten strands of Breaking Boundary Source Power to return to the Spirit Realm.


    Comprehending dozens of powers of creation was just part of Lin Yuan''s achievements in three hundred years of cultivation.


    Lin Yuan also made significant progress in perfecting the eighth rank of martial arts, having moved past the third stage and entered the fourth stage.


    In Lin Yuan''s conception, the eighth rank is divided into four stages, and reaching the fourth stage is almost the final step.


    This is simr to the eighth rank of many evolutionary paths in the main world, which is also divided into four stages.


    As for the invincible eighth rank, which is above the eighth rank, it is essentially in the fourth stage but has mastered a certain cosmic power, making it an unreplicable case.


    "Unfortunately, the main world has significant restrictions on cosmic power. My power of Tai Chi is a cosmic power, and future martial arts practitioners, even if they follow my path step by step, cannot transform it into this cosmic power again."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    Of course, if the power of Tai Chi doesn''t work, one can try other powers.


    For example, the power of the Five Elements, where the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth generate and restrain each other.


    Once these five basic rules areprehended and fused, it would likely be another cosmic power.


    Martial arts epass all paths, theoretically having the potential to give birth to many cosmic powers.


    "And the spatial rule model."


    There was a faint spatial fluctuation in Lin Yuan''s eyes.


    In three hundred years, Lin Yuan hadprehended 4,600 core spatial models. Excluding the 3,000 he hadprehended three hundred years ago, he hadprehended over 1,600 in these three hundred years.


    It should be known that the more core spatial models oneprehends, the harder it bes toprehend more. Under such circumstances, Lin Yuan still managed toprehend more than 1,600, which was incredible.


    "With 4,600 core spatial models, using the eighth-rank Evolvers of the main world as a temte, the size of the internal world should be about 6.8 million miles in diameter."


    The more spatial models oneprehends, therger the internal world. Theoretically, if an eighth-rank Evolverprehends 7,782 core spatial models, the size of their internal world would reach ten million miles in diameter.


    "But that''s the size of a normal eighth-rank Evolver''s internal world. My internal world..." A hint of peculiarity appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    With the mysterious gourd''s support, Lin Yuan''s internal world had reached nearly 70 million miles in diameter.


    Such a vast internal world was far beyond the reach of human eighth-rank Evolvers and even the peak bloodlines of special life forms like the Star Sea Kun.


    Theoretically, the upper limit for the Star Sea Kun''s internal world is 50 million miles in diameter, which is why the Star Sea Kun is considered a peak bloodline, with its species limit being five times that of humans.


    But now, Lin Yuan''s internal world far exceeded the Star Sea Kun''s upper limit, which was simply unbelievable.


    The key point is that a 70 million-mile diameter internal world is still far from Lin Yuan''s limit.


    "The gourd."


    The fact that Lin Yuan''s internal world size exceeds that of the same level of eighth-rank Evolvers by ten times is naturally due to his absorption of the mysterious liquid from the gourd, which has now reached the fourth type.


    Among the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet liquids, Lin Yuan had started absorbing the green liquid.


    The mysterious gourd had also transformed into a gray-green color.


    "The difficulty of absorbing the green liquid is far greater than the previous three types. Twenty years ago, I started absorbing this liquid, but so far, the increase in my internal world and body is less than double."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. He could foresee that the absorption would slow down even more in the future, especially with thest three types of liquid¡ªblue, indigo, and violet. Lin Yuan even suspected they might not be intended for eighth-rank beings.


    "No matter what, I have already gained immensely. An internal world ten timesrger out of nowhere would even astonish the Strongest one, right?"


    Lin Yuan didn''t know if the Strongest one could achieve this, but at least with his multiple identities as a seventh-level citizen, star lord, and founder of the martial arts evolutionary path, he had never heard of such a thing.


    "Now, the strength of my Tai Chi primordial spirit is far weaker than my true body."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Without the mysterious gourd, the strength of the Tai Chi primordial spirit and the true body would not differ much.


    The true body, mastering the power of Tai Chi, the power of Opening Heaven, and other cosmic powers, could also be mastered by the Tai Chi primordial spirit.


    In fact, due to being a soul energy body, the Tai Chi primordial spirit might be even more troublesome.


    But now.


    Due to the difference in the internal world.


    The internal world developed by the Tai Chi primordial spirit was only 6.8 million miles in diameter.


    While the internal world developed by the true body had reached 70 million miles in diameter.


    With a tenfold difference, the true body and the primordial spirit were not on the same level.


    Three Thousand Dao States.


    Xuan King Domain.


    Martial Temple.


    In the three hundred years of development, the Martial Temple had be a giant entity in the Dongyun Dao State.


    Its influence extended beyond the Dongyun Dao State, spreading to dozens and even hundreds of nearby Dao States.


    The influence of the martial arts cultivation system, while perhaps not as great as the Immortal Dao in the entire Three Thousand Dao States, was unparalleled in the Dongyun Dao State and the surrounding Dao States.


    Even the Immortal Dao could not suppress the martial arts in the slightest.


    The reason is that Martial Ancestor personally resided in the Martial Temple.


    In three hundred years, Martial Ancestor had appeared several times to give lectures, exining the essence of martial arts to countless talents, leading many to the path of martial arts.


    In the cave mansion.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    "Now, the martial arts..." Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes. After three hundred years of promoting martial arts, the martial arts cultivation system had be the strongest cultivation system below the Immortal Dao, without a doubt.


    Mainly because, in the past three hundred years, some Tribtion Immortal Kings who wanted to visit Lin Yuan had, like the old man in the purple robe, sensed part of Lin Yuan''s strength and then ordered their disciples and juniors not to be enemies of the Martial Temple.


    Over time, the influence of martial arts grew stronger.


    It can be predicted that, with the passage of time, martial arts might indeed reach the heights of the Immortal Dao.


    The only thing Lin Yuan was not satisfied with was that, so far, martial arts had not produced a single eighth-rank powerhouse.


    Several lectures had only resulted in arge number of fifth and sixth-rank martial artists.


    But an eighth-rank martial artist, equivalent to a Tribtion Immortal King, had yet to be born.

 Chapter 265

    "Eight ranks of Martial Dao."


    Lin Yuan slightly shook his head. The reason why the Martial Dao cultivation system is so powerful is entirely because of him, the Martial Ancestor.


    Essentially, the foundation of Martial Dao is still too shallow.


    Although it has a history of hundreds of thousands of years, except for the three to four hundred years Lin Yuan has been overseeing it, there hasn''t been much significant achievement during the other times.


    To nurture an eighth-rank Martial Dao practitioner from scratch in just a few hundred years is nothing short of a fool''s dream.


    Even if Lin Yuan exhausts his own origin to nurture someone, when they reach the seventh rank and attempt to break through to the eighth rank, if they encounter the Heart Demon Tribtion and their mindset is slightlycking, all the nurturing would be in vain.


    "As long as I can cultivate an eighth-rank Martial Dao practitioner before my time here is up, the Martial Dao cultivation system will stabilizepletely," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    In Lin Yuan''s mind, the few Martial Dao practitioners who might possibly advance to the eighth rank were naturally Li Qing, Shan Yang, and Nie Yun, the three veteran seventh ranks.


    As for the practitioners who have embarked on the path of Martial Dao in recent centuries, their umtion is far from enough.The Seventh Heaven.


    Including Lin Yuan, more than twenty Supreme Immortal Kings gathered, their terrifying auras shaking the surrounding billions of miles.


    Since the epoch of the Three Thousand Dao States, in millions of years, the number of Supreme Immortal Kings born is no more than thirty, and now, most of them are gathered here.


    "The Eighth Heaven."


    The figure of the Opening Heaven Immortal King was towering, carrying a pitch-ck giant axe on his back, his gaze sharp as he looked towards the entrance of the Eighth Heaven.


    Clouds and mist filled the area, with terrifying auras flowing faintly, evidently methods left by those Supreme Immortal Kings from the prehistoric era.


    To preventters from entering the Eighth Heaven and sharing the opportunity of the Ninth Heaven with them.


    "Last time, during the Battle to Ascend Heaven, my strength had not broken through. This time, I am certain I can seed," the Opening Heaven Immortal King nced at the other Supreme Immortal Kings, his tone full of confidence.


    The power of creation he mastered, the Power of Opening Heaven, was a high-level creation force, proficient in attack. Every time they attacked the Eighth Heaven, he was the main force.


    The attack on the Eighth Heaven was referred to by the Opening Heaven Immortal King and other Supreme Immortal Kings as the "Battle to Ascend Heaven."


    "Opening Heaven, we believe in you."


    "Indeed, those old guys from the prehistoric era are too greedy, wanting to monopolize the opportunity of the Ninth Heaven."


    "Later, I will deal with that Mist Immortal King."


    Through multiple Battles to Ascend Heaven, the Supreme Immortal Kings present were quite familiar with those old guys in the Eighth Heaven.


    As Supreme Immortal Kings, even if they failed to ascend, they would at most be severely injured, almost impossible to fall, so the Supreme Immortal Kings in the Eighth Heaven never descended to the Seventh Heaven to chase them.


    In fact, even if they did chase, it would be very difficult topletely kill a Supreme Immortal King.


    Lin Yuan stood aside, quietly listening to the conversations of the Supreme Immortal Kings around him.


    Among the more than twenty Supreme Immortal Kings present, Lin Yuan was the only neer who had never participated in the Battle to Ascend Heaven, so he kept silent as much as possible.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan slightly raised his head, looking towards the entrance of the Eighth Heaven.


    With his perception, he sensed the continuous gathering of Supreme Immortal King auras, indicating that the Supreme Immortal Kings in the Eighth Heaven were also aware that the Opening Heaven Immortal King and others were about to initiate the Battle to Ascend Heaven.


    "The Ninth Heaven."


    Lin Yuan was also curious about the Ninth Heaven. What exactly was it that made the Supreme Immortal Kings from the prehistoric era gather in the Eighth Heaven and jointly block theter Supreme Immortal Kings from joining?


    "Soon, I will find out," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The Eighth Heaven.


    Vast and boundless, with terrifying auras gathering at the exit connecting to the Seventh Heaven.


    "Those little fellows down there want toe up again. With their strength, even if they doe up, what use would it be?"


    A figure shrouded in clouds and mist sneered. As a Supreme Immortal King from the prehistoric era, he was fully qualified to call the Opening Heaven Immortal King, Great Immortal King, and other Supreme Immortal Kings "little fellows."


    "Do not underestimate them. The Opening Heaven Immortal King has mastered the Power of Opening Heaven, and the Great Immortal King has mastered the Power of Infinity. If theyprehend these to the Third Realm, they will be a trouble for us."


    Another figure spoke slowly.


    The Power of Opening Heaven.


    The Power of Infinity.


    Both were high-level creation forces.


    In previous Battles to Ascend Heaven, the Opening Heaven Immortal King and Great Immortal King had onlyprehended these high-level creation forces to the second realm.


    So they were easily repelled.


    "It''s just a trouble, nothing more."


    A third figure said calmly.


    Even if theyprehended the high-level creation forces to the Third Realm, so what? They, who had lived through long ages, had simr methods.


    In terms of aptitude, as Supreme Immortal Kings of the prehistoric era, they were not inferior to the Supreme Immortal Kings of the Three Thousand Dao States epoch.


    In terms of cultivation years, they spanned two epochs, far surpassing the Opening Heaven Immortal King and others.


    Although longer cultivation years do not necessarily mean stronger strength.


    They certainly wouldn''t be weak.


    "I''ll handle that Opening Heaven Immortal King. I also cultivate the Power of Opening Heaven," said another towering figure.


    The forces of creation in the Spirit Realm were not unique and could beprehended by multiple Immortal Kings.


    The Power of Opening Heaven, being a high-level creation force proficient in killing, naturally attracted the attention of many Supreme Immortal Kings.


    As the Supreme Immortal Kings discussed.


    Boom.


    A terrifying axe light shed from the Seventh Heaven, tearing through the void, and struck the mist at the entrance of the Eighth Heaven.


    Arge amount of mist was cleaved apart, though it quickly recovered, only to be cleaved again by sessive axe lights.


    "That little fellow Opening Heaven."


    The figure shrouded in mist frowned, "Let''s take action. Don''t let them really break through."


    "Opening Heaven''s Power of Opening Heaven seems to have made another breakthrough." The Great Immortal King watched the continuous axe lights from Opening Heaven Immortal King, speaking softly.


    The other Supreme Immortal Kings agreed.


    At this moment, the Opening Heaven Immortal King''s power was terrifying. Each axe light exceeded the full strength of a normal Supreme Immortal King. Such relentless strikes made even the Great Immortal King wary.


    Crash.


    Suddenly.


    At the entrance to the Eighth Heaven.


    Several figures emerged.


    Among them was a towering figure, also wielding a giant axe, but this one was entirely blue, its axe light blocking the Opening Heaven Immortal King''s attacks.


    "Little fellows, will you leave on your own, or do we need to make you?" The leading figure spoke, his voice resounding through the Seventh Heaven.


    "It''s Lingxu Immortal King, that old undying." The Great Immortal King''s tone carried a hint of dread.


    The Lingxu Immortal King mastered one high-level creation force and six ordinary creation forces, all cultivated to the Third Realm, making his strength extremely formidable.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan''s gaze was slightly heated as he looked at Lingxu Immortal King.


    The creation forces emanating from Lingxu Immortal King included three that Lin Yuan had never encountered, one of which was a high-level creation force.


    "Let''s go."


    "Charge together."


    The Great Immortal King soared into the sky, followed by the other Supreme Immortal Kings.


    Boom.


    In an instant, dozens of Supreme Immortal Kings were engaged in battle.


    The aftermath of each Supreme Immortal King''s attack affected millions of miles. If this battlefield were not in the Nine Heavens but in the Three Thousand Dao States.


    The aftermath alone would be enough to destroy the Three Thousand Dao States multiple times.


    Countless True Immortals and Half-step Immortal Kings would perish.


    But in the Nine Heavens, especially in the Seventh Heaven, these aftershocks did not cause much impact.


    Or rather, the impact, such as the torn space, would quickly recover.


    Lin Yuan followed behind, taking the time to observe the battle.


    The Opening Heaven Immortal King was being held off by another Supreme Immortal King who alsoprehended the Power of Opening Heaven. Their fighting styles were simr, exchanging axe strikes, but the power of Opening Heaven in each strike was heart-stopping.


    The Great Immortal King, on the other hand, was fighting two Supreme Immortal Kings simultaneously, his Power of Infinity overwhelming them despite being outnumbered.


    Lin Yuan, with a nce, sensed someone was watching him.


    "It''s been a while since I''ve fought."


    "Little fellow, as your elder, I''ll allow you to make the first move, or you might not have the chanceter." A slender male Immortal King stood in the distance, smiling as he stared at Lin Yuan.


    "You will let me make the first move?" Lin Yuan smiled.


    Considering how much strength to use, though the power of his Tai Chi primordial spirit was far less than his true form.


    But with the mastery of the high-level creation force of Tai Chi, and four other high-level creation forces, along with dozens of ordinary creation forces.


    Even if thetter were only at the first realm.


    Plus the support of his internal world spanning millions of miles.


    Combined, Lin Yuan believed his strength was no weaker than a Supreme Immortal King who had mastered a high-level creation force at the Third Realm.


    Perhaps even stronger.


    "Indeed."


    The slender male Immortal King nodded slightly.


    Suddenly.


    His expression changed.


    Because he found that Lin Yuan had disappeared.


    This disappearance was not a movement or teleportation but a literal vanishing from this world.


    "Not good."


    The slender male Immortal King''s expression changed drastically.


    Instinctively, he started to retreat.


    But it was toote. Lin Yuan''s figure appeared beside him, without him knowing when.


    Then lightly punched.


    This punch had no external force, but to the slender male Immortal King, it felt like his scalp was exploding, sensing a mortal danger.


    "Split."


    The slender male Immortal King''s body erupted with a surge of blood energy, but the next moment, his figure exploded.


    Under Lin Yuan''s punch, his physical body was shattered.


    Swoosh.


    A phantom-like soul appeared.


    Rushing madly towards the entrance of the Eighth Heaven.


    The speed of this soul was so fast that even Lin Yuan felt he couldn''t intercept it, so he didn''t try.


    "How unfortunate."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    The creation force mastered by the slender male Immortal King had already beenprehended by Lin Yuan, so killing him wouldn''t have provided any real benefit.


    The shattering of the slender male Immortal King''s physical body immediately drew the attention of the surrounding Supreme Immortal Kings.


    The Supreme Immortal Kings from the prehistoric era looked at Lin Yuan with incredulity.


    Though the slender male Immortal King''s strength wasn''t top-notch, he wasn''t weak either. To be shattered with a single punch¡ªcould it be that Lin Yuan hadprehended a high-level creation force to the Third Realm? And one simr to the Power of Opening Heaven, an offensive creation force?


    Only in this way, taking him by surprise, could the slender male Immortal King, unprepared, fall so quickly.


    "Hahaha, Martial Ancestor, I didn''t expect you to have such strength." The Opening Heaven Immortal Kingughed heartily. Though the slender male Immortal King wasn''t dead, having his physical body shattered meant he couldn''t effectively participate in the Battle to Ascend Heaven anymore.


    "Martial Ancestor?"


    At the entrance to the Eighth Heaven, the Lingxu Immortal King did not join the battle. His task was to guard the entrance, preventing the lower Supreme Immortal Kings from sneaking into the Eighth Heaven.


    "When did such a strong figure appear in this era?" The Lingxu Immortal King''s expression changed slightly.


    His attention was always on the battlefield. The battle between Lin Yuan and the slender male Immortal King was under his observation, sensing that Lin Yuan''s strength might be above even the Opening Heaven Immortal King and the Great Immortal King.


    "No, the bnce is broken."


    "Martial Ancestor cannot stay."


    The Lingxu Immortal King made a decision.


    He hadn''t anticipated that this Battle to Ascend Heaven would see the emergence of an outlier like the Martial Ancestor. Such strength, participating in the Battle to Ascend Heaven for the first time, was unbelievable.


    Under these circumstances, no one could withstand the Martial Ancestor, and the battle might turn against them.


    "I must act."


    "At least heavily injure the Martial Ancestor."


    The Lingxu Immortal King focused on Lin Yuan.


    At this moment, several more prehistoric Supreme Immortal Kings teamed up, trying to stop the Martial Ancestor.


    But with every move Lin Yuan made, those Supreme Immortal Kings couldn''t hold on for long.


    Whoosh.


    The Lingxu Immortal King remained in ce.


    But his true body hid in the depths of the void, approaching Lin Yuan.


    As the strongest Supreme Immortal King present, the Lingxu Immortal King believed that with his methods, he could severely injure, if not kill, the Martial Ancestor through a sneak attack.


    "You are too weak."


    "Too weak, and the creation forces you master are also ordinary."


    Lin Yuan looked at the few Supreme Immortal Kings surrounding him. With each attack, their auras weakened.


    At this moment.


    A figure shrouded in gray appeared above Lin Yuan.


    "Destruction."


    The Lingxu Immortal King raised his right hand, gray aura enveloping Lin Yuan.


    High-level creation force.


    Great Destruction Force.


    This was a killing creation force,parable to the Power of Opening Heaven.


    The difference was that the Power of Opening Heaven attacked points or lines.


    While the Great Destruction Force attacked areas.


    Overwhelming, destroying everything in its path.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression changed slightly.


    Such Great Destruction Force was the nemesis of energy, soul, and life.


    "Disperse!"


    Lin Yuan''s mind moved.


    Trying to disperse his primordial spirit body.


    But immediately, a binding force suppressed him.


    "I have cultivated the Great Destruction Force to the Third Realm, along with six ordinary creation forces to the Third Realm."


    "Thebination of six Third Realm ordinary creation forces is almost as strong as a Third Realm high-level creation force."


    "Equivalent to me mastering two Third Realm high-level creation forces."


    The Lingxu Immortal King was confident. Even the Opening Heaven Immortal King could only defend against him.


    By lowering himself to sneak attack the Martial Ancestor, he might shatter his body,pletely disabling him from continuing the battle.


    "Not good, Martial Ancestor!" The Opening Heaven Immortal King noticed this scene, bing anxious, swinging his axe desperately to restrain the Lingxu Immortal King.


    But was immediately entangled by his opponent.


    The Great Immortal King faced the same situation, his Power of Infinity vast and mighty, but hindered by two equal Supreme Immortal Kings.


    Crash.


    Lin Yuan frowned.


    Under the suppression of six Third Realm creation forces, he couldn''t move in a short time and had to take the full brunt of the Great Destruction Force.


    Buzz.


    The terrifying Great Destruction Force fell, Lin Yuan''s primordial spirit body rapidly copsing, finally dissipating into nothingness.


    "Hmm?"


    "So easy?"


    The Lingxu Immortal King was surprised. He had expected the Martial Ancestor''s soul to escape.


    "Martial Ancestor!!!" The Opening Heaven Immortal King roared in anger. He hadn''t expected the Martial Ancestor to die. In the Battle to Ascend Heaven, it was rare for a Supreme Immortal King to fall.


    "Despicable Lingxu Immortal King." The Great Immortal King stared coldly at the Lingxu Immortal King.


    The Lingxu Immortal King''s sneak attack was clear in his eyes.


    "Humph."


    The Lingxu Immortal King snorted coldly, unconcerned.


    Suddenly.


    At this moment.


    The Lingxu Immortal King sensed something, his expression changing slightly.


    "What is that?"


    The Lingxu Immortal King looked down towards the Sixth Heaven, Fifth Heaven, Fourth Heaven. In his perception, he faintly detected a terrifying presence, like a colossal being, trampling throughyers of wonders at an incredible speed.


    Piercing throughyer afteryer of heaven, heading towards the Seventh Heaven.


    The Lingxu Immortal King could almost imagine the various restrictions and suppressions in the Nine Heavens, as fragile as paper before that colossal being.


    Even the barriers between the heavens were easily torn apart by that being.


    Boom!


    The next moment.


    The ground of the Seventh Heaven copsed, a figure exuding boundless blood energy appeared above the Lingxu Immortal King, looking down with a cold gaze.


    The oppressive feeling, like the copse of heaven and earth, made the Lingxu Immortal King almost suffocate, nearly forcing him to kneel.

 Chapter 266

    Chapter 266


    The Seventh Heaven was silent.


    All the Supreme Immortal King who were fighting, whether born in the epoch of the Three Thousand Dao States or the prehistoric era, all stopped.


    Instinctively, they looked at the figure that had torn through the barrier from the Seventh Heaven to the Eighth Heaven with absolute dominance and power.


    In the Nine Heavens of the Spirit Realm, from the First Heaven to the Second Heaven, the Second Heaven to the Third Heaven... from the Seventh Heaven to the Eighth Heaven... there are two ways to ascend.


    One is to follow the fixed entrance between each heaven to enter the next.


    However, at these fixed entrances, there are various tribtions, such as the Endless Wind Tribtion, the Ninefold Thunder Tribtion, and so on.


    The other way is to directly tear through the barrier between the heavens to ascend.


    But¡ª


    The barriers between the heavens are not easily torn.Even for a Supreme Immortal King, tearing the barrier from the First Heaven to the Second Heaven takes considerable effort and is far less convenient than entering through the fixed entrance.


    Moreover, each barrier between the heavens is more solid than thest. A normal Supreme Immortal King might manage to tear through from the First Heaven to the Second Heaven with some effort.


    But the barrier from the Second Heaven to the Third Heaven would require the full strength of a Supreme Immortal King.


    As for the barrier from the Third Heaven to the Fourth Heaven? Ordinary Supreme Immortal King are powerless.


    In this Battle to Ascend Heaven, the reason the Opening Heaven Immortal King and the Great Immortal King of the Three Thousand Dao States epoch chose the entrance to the Eighth Heaven is because it is the simplest.


    As for forcibly tearing through the barrier from the Seventh Heaven to the Eighth Heaven, even with more than twenty Supreme Immortal King working together, it would take at least several days and nights.


    By that time, the Supreme Immortal King of the prehistoric era in the Eighth Heaven would have long noticed and would be waiting above the barrier, ready to fight, making it no different from starting the battle at the entrance.


    It would take thebined effort of more than twenty Supreme Immortal King, including the Opening Heaven Immortal King and the Great Immortal King, several days and nights to barely tear through the barrier from the Seventh Heaven to the Eighth Heaven.


    The barrier from the Sixth Heaven to the Seventh Heaven, though not as tough as the former, would still require the full effort of more than twenty Supreme Immortal King, taking at least half a day or even a day or two to tear through.


    But just now.


    The figure that suddenly appeared tore through the barrier from the Sixth Heaven to the Seventh Heaven in what time? A single breath? Or an instant?


    Moreover, this figure seemed to have torn through not just the barrier from the Sixth Heaven to the Seventh Heaven, but the barriers of the five heavens below, without pausing for an instant.


    Such power was terrifying. Even the strongest Supreme Immortal King like the Opening Heaven Immortal King and the Great Immortal King felt a chill.


    Additionally, the moment that figure appeared, an invisible and terrifying field of blood energy covered one-tenth of the Seventh Heaven, enveloping all the Supreme Immortal King.


    Compared to the shock of the other Supreme Immortal King, the Lingxu Immortal King was nearly suffocated. Just being close to that figure made the high-level creation force within him fall silent, not to mention the other six ordinary creation forces.


    "Who... who are you?"


    "Which epoch are you from?"


    The Lingxu Immortal King asked, his voice trembling. As a Supreme Immortal King of the prehistoric era, he knew that the Spirit Realm had gone through countless epochs.


    The prehistoric era? The epoch of the Three Thousand Dao States? These were just the two most recent epochs.


    Before these two epochs, there were even more ancient and unfathomable epochs.


    "Who am I?"


    "Weren''t you the one who ambushed me earlier?"


    Lin Yuan nced at the Lingxu Immortal King, his tone calm.


    The Tai Chi primordial spirit had dissipated under the Lingxu Immortal King''s Third Realm Great Destruction Force, partly due to Lin Yuan dispersing it himself, but it was indeed because of the Lingxu Immortal King.


    The moment the Tai Chi primordial spirit was ambushed, Lin Yuan''s true body had left the Martial Temple, heading straight to the Nine Heavens, following the principle of the shortest distance between two points, tearing through one wonder, anomaly, and heavenly barrier after another to arrive here.


    "Ambushed you?"


    The Lingxu Immortal King was slightly stunned.


    Then his face showed an expression of disbelief.


    The Martial Ancestor from earlier was this person? The Lingxu Immortal King found it hard to believe. The Martial Ancestor''s strength was indeed formidable, almost surpassing the Opening Heaven Immortal King and the Great Immortal King.


    But that was all.


    One on one, even without an ambush, the Lingxu Immortal King was confident he could suppress the Martial Ancestor.


    He had ambushed only to resolve the battle quickly, to eliminate the unstable factor of the Martial Ancestor as soon as possible.


    For the Lingxu Immortal King, having lived through long ages, he no longer cared about ambushing or not.


    The other Supreme Immortal King around were also closely watching Lin Yuan.


    They couldn''t help it. Lin Yuan''s way of appearing was too frightening. To him, even the strong barriers between the heavens were like thin paper.


    It was simply incredible.


    "Martial Ancestor, is he really the Martial Ancestor?"


    "How is that possible? No, their auras are simr, it could indeed be the same person."


    Many Supreme Immortal King, especially those of the Three Thousand Dao States epoch, were initially dumbfounded, but after careful sensing, they vaguely found that the Martial Ancestor they knew indeed had a simr aura to this figure.


    The simrity was essential, stemming from mastering the same creation force and that vast power resembling the world force of the Spirit Realm.


    The difference was that the former Martial Ancestor, if his world force was akin to a Dao State in the lower realm, now, the world force casually released by the Martial Ancestor was as vast as the Three Thousand Dao States.


    "Impossible, how could you be so strong? Even if it''s a clone or incarnation, the gap with the true body can''t be this big."


    The Lingxu Immortal King muttered, voicing the doubts of all the Supreme Immortal King.


    The difference in strength between the former and current Martial Ancestor was too vast. Even knowing such a strong figure wouldn''t lie, the Lingxu Immortal King still couldn''t believe it.


    "That''s something you don''t need to know."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    Under normal circumstances, Lin Yuan''s Tai Chi primordial spirit was not much weaker than his true body.


    But the mysterious gourd had brought a tenfold increase to his true body''s internal world and physical body.


    What does a tenfold increase mean? His internal world expanded from 6.8 million miles in radius to nearly 70 million miles. The enhancement in world force was beyond hundreds of times. It was by relying on his vast internal world that Lin Yuan could crush his way directly to the Seventh Heaven.


    Of course, besides his physical body and internal world, Lin Yuan''s mastery of the divine ability ''Enhancement'' also widened the gap between his true body and the Tai Chi primordial spirit.


    ''Enhancement'' was a physical divine ability. Although it could enhance the soul, mind, and will, its foundation was the physical body. The Tai Chi primordial spirit, being only a primordial spirit, couldn''t use this divine ability.


    However, the ''Enhancement'' divine ability had side effects, and Lin Yuan wouldn''t use this trump card unless absolutely necessary.


    Buzz.


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts moved.


    The terrifying world force, following the space of the Seventh Heaven, directly crushed the Lingxu Immortal King.


    The Lingxu Immortal King''s body turned to dust. The high-level creation force¡ªDestruction Force, condensed into a ball, falling into Lin Yuan''s hand.


    The other ordinary creation forces were also absorbed by Lin Yuan.


    These creation forces, especially the high-level creation forces, were extremely valuable to Lin Yuan. Bringing them back to the main world would transform them into high-level cosmic forces, greatly benefiting his path to the ninth rank.


    Swoosh.


    After the Lingxu Immortal King''s body was crushed.


    A phantom-like soul escaped. As a Supreme Immortal King in the immortal cultivation system, most of his means were centered on the soul. Battles between Supreme Immortal King rarely resulted in death, because at most, they would abandon their bodies.


    As long as they were willing to escape with their soul, they could usually get away.


    "Too terrifying," the Lingxu Immortal King''s soul shuddered. Under the crushing world force just now, he barely managed to escape with his soul.


    "This Martial Ancestor, his origins must be extraordinary, definitely one of those terrifying beings from the earliest epochs." The Lingxu Immortal King''s soul tore through the void, fleeing towards the entrance of the Eighth Heaven.


    "You think you can escape?"


    Lin Yuan''s figure disappeared from his original spot.


    The next moment.


    Beside the Lingxu Immortal King''s soul, a hand reached out.


    "Ahhhh!!"


    The Lingxu Immortal King''s soul let out a sharp cry, then was caught by Lin Yuan, directly undergoing soul search, and then refined into the purest soul power.


    The Eighth Heaven.


    In a winding pce, within a side hall.


    A man who looked strikingly simr to the Lingxu Immortal King opened his eyes.


    As a Supreme Immortal King and one who had survived from the prehistoric era, the Lingxu Immortal King had many life-saving means. Even if his true body and soul perished, he could still ''revive'' in this prepared body.


    But at this moment, the Lingxu Immortal King felt no joy in reviving. His eyes showed worry and unease.


    "That Martial Ancestor is too terrifying. I have already cultivated the Destruction Force to the Third Realm, supplemented by six other Third Realm ordinary creation forces, yet I couldn''t even struggle before him."


    The Lingxu Immortal King was terrified.


    After living through the long ages from the prehistoric era to now, he finally felt the breath of death.


    Complete death.


    "With the Martial Ancestor''s strength, he will soon enter the Eighth Heaven," the Lingxu Immortal Kingposed himself.


    "I must inform the Chaos Immortal King and the others."


    In the prehistoric era, although the Lingxu Immortal King was a top-tier Supreme Immortal King, he wasn''t the strongest.


    The truly strongest immortal King were the Chaos Immortal King who led them into the Eighth Heaven.


    These Supreme Immortal King had mastered several high-level creation forces, all cultivated to the Third Realm, their strength immeasurable.


    Of course.


    In the Lingxu Immortal King''s view, evenbining the strength of the Chaos Immortal King wouldn''t be enough to face the Martial Ancestor.


    At least in front of the Chaos Immortal King, he could still contend for a while, but the Martial Ancestor didn''t even allow him to have the thought of resistance.


    But now the Lingxu Immortal King had no choice. With the Martial Ancestor about to enter the Eighth Heaven, his only reliance was the Chaos Immortal King.


    "The Chaos Immortal King has been studying the Ninth Heaven for so many years, maybe he has discovered some killing move that can block the Martial Ancestor."


    Having felt the Martial Ancestor''s strength, the Lingxu Immortal King didn''t hope for the Chaos Immortal King to repel or defeat him.


    He would be grateful if he could just barely hold him off.


    After searching the Lingxu Immortal King''s soul, Lin Yuan learned many secrets about the Eighth Heaven and the prehistoric era.


    "So, the Supreme Immortal Kings of the prehistoric era were led by the Chaos Immortal King, who hasprehended four high-level creation forces, all cultivated to the Third Realm."


    "After the end of the prehistoric era, the Chaos Immortal King led a group of Supreme Immortal King to the Eighth Heaven, always trying to ascend to the Ninth Heaven but never seeding."


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    The Chaos Immortal Kingprehended four high-level creation forces and cultivated them to the Third Realm, which was beyond Lin Yuan.


    Although Lin Yuan alsoprehended four high-level creation forces, they were only at the First Realm.


    But Lin Yuan also mastered an internal world spanning seventy million miles. With such a vast internal world, he didn''t consider the Chaos Immortal King a threat.


    "It''s been so long, and they haven''t ascended to the Ninth Heaven?" Lin Yuan was very interested in the Chaos Immortal King. The forces he mastered probably included one or two that Lin Yuan had yet toprehend.


    "What about them?"


    Lin Yuan looked towards the battlefield, at the other Supreme Immortal King.


    "Run."


    "Quickly return to the Eighth Heaven."


    The Supreme Immortal King of the prehistoric era fled towards the entrance of the Eighth Heaven without hesitation.


    What a joke.


    If they didn''t run now, were they waiting to follow the Lingxu Immortal King''s fate? Although they didn''t know Lin Yuan''s exact strength, his method of killing the Lingxu Immortal King was far beyond their ability to handle.


    As for joining forces to resist, when the strength gap reaches a certain level, numbers are no longer an advantage, unless it''s the ''insect swarm tactic'' from the main world.


    Otherwise, dozens of Supreme Immortal King would be like toys before Lin Yuan, to be yed with at will.


    Lin Yuan didn''t stop the massive escape of these Supreme Immortal King.


    Mainly because it wasn''t necessary. The next level was the Eighth Heaven, where could they run to?


    For a time.


    The Seventh Heaven was left with only Lin Yuan and the Opening Heaven Immortal King, the Great Immortal King, and the other more than twenty immortal King.


    "Martial Ancestor."


    After a moment, the Opening Heaven Immortal King mustered his courage, approached Lin Yuan, and tentatively spoke.


    "Opening Heaven." Lin Yuan smiled slightly, restraining his aura and greeting casually.


    In the three hundred years, Lin Yuan had a pleasant rtionship with the Opening Heaven Immortal King, the Great Immortal King, and the other Supreme Immortal King, and he didn''t n to oppress them with his strength now.


    Lin Yuan''s response made the Opening Heaven Immortal King slightly relieved. At least with Lin Yuan speaking this way, he considered him one of his own.


    He didn''t have to fear like the Supreme Immortal Kings of the prehistoric era.


    "Martial Ancestor, what kind of creation force did you master?" The Great Immortal King came closer, unable to suppress his curiosity.


    Lin Yuan''s revealed strength was too terrifying. If not forcking certain features of the legends beyond the immortal King, they would have thought Lin Yuan had already taken that step.


    "What kind of creation force?"


    "It should be considered the ''world force''?"


    The world force born from the internal world was entirely different from creation force and cosmic force. By opening the internal world, one could master it withoutprehension.

 Chapter 267

    "The Power of the World?"


    The Supreme Immortal Kings, including Opening Heaven Immortal King and Great Immortal King, exchanged nces. They had never heard of such a power of creation before.


    But since Martial Ancestor mentioned it, this power must exist.


    "Let''s go."


    "Let''s take a look at the Eighth Heaven."


    After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he headed towards the entrance of the Eighth Heaven.


    At this time, the entrance to the Eighth Heaven was no longer guarded by the Supreme Immortal Kings of the prehistoric era. It was empty, with wisps of illusory power drifting about.


    This was the cmity from the Seventh Heaven to the Eighth Heaven, a natural phenomenon within the Nine Heavens. Even if destroyed, it would recover.


    Just like the barriers between the heavens that Lin Yuan tore open, they were now quickly restoring themselves."Let''s just go through the entrance."


    Lin Yuan nced around.


    Earlier, when his Tai Chi Primordial Spirit was ambushed by Lingxu Immortal King, Lin Yuan''s true body was in a hurry, so he rushed through aggressively. Now, there was no need for that.


    The entrance was right in front of them, so they could just go through it directly.


    The cmity from the Seventh Heaven to the Eighth Heaven was simr to a soul illusion,parable to the Heart Demon Tribtion and the Mind Tribtion, but much stronger.


    However, the many Supreme Immortal Kings present had strong minds due to their long years of cultivation. Even if they hadn''t intentionally trained their minds, they were not weak, and could pass through easily.


    Although Lin Yuan''s years were rtively short, his mental and spiritual strength had been tempered by the body of the strongest one, and nurtured by the vast internal world.


    He was stronger than the Supreme Immortal Kings present.


    Swoosh.


    Lin Yuan easily arrived at the Eighth Heaven.


    The environment here was simr to the Seventh Heaven.


    The only difference was a faint, mysterious aura, emanating from the Ninth Heaven above.


    There are always people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens, with celestial beings in the Ninth Heaven.


    This was the legend of the Ninth Heaven in the Spirit Realm since ancient times.


    The so-called celestial beings, ording to many Supreme Immortal Kings, might be an invincible strong one, sitting in the Ninth Heaven overlooking the vast Spirit Realm.


    The Supreme Immortal Kings of the prehistoric era and the Three Thousand Dao States era were so eager to enter the Ninth Heaven because they hoped to receive guidance from this invincible strong one.


    "Is this the Eighth Heaven?"


    "It''s indeed different from the Seventh Heaven."


    Opening Heaven Immortal King and Great Immortal King, along with other Supreme Immortal Kings, followed.


    This was their first time ascending to the Eighth Heaven, as they were always repelled by Lingxu Immortal King in previous battles.


    Now, following Lin Yuan, they finally fulfilled their long-cherished wish.


    "The Ninth Heaven?"


    Lin Yuan looked up.


    Compared to the barriers of the previous eight heavens, the barrier of the Ninth Heaven faintly glowed with a golden hue. Even Lin Yuan wasn''t sure he could break it.


    Or rather, he could tear it apart, but it would take a lot of time because the barriers between the Nine Heavens would quickly restore any damage.


    Lin Yuan''s speed in tearing had to far exceed the speed of the barrier''s restoration.


    "Let''s head to the entrance of the Ninth Heaven."


    Lin Yuan decided. After soul-searching Lingxu Immortal King, he had a thorough understanding of the Eighth Heaven and flew directly to the entrance of the Ninth Heaven.


    At the entrance of the Ninth Heaven.


    Dozens of figures stood there.


    These dozens of figures were the most powerful Supreme Immortal Kings of the prehistoric era. Each had at least cultivated a high-level creation power to the third realm.


    Most had mastered two or more high-level creation powers at the third realm. Lingxu Immortal King had suppressed the Supreme Immortal Kings of the Three Thousand Dao States era like Opening Heaven Immortal King.


    But among this group of Supreme Immortal Kings, Lingxu was among the weakest.


    The prehistoric era had aplete era, and with the long years experienced by the Three Thousand Dao States era, the number of Supreme Immortal Kings was far more and much stronger than the rtively young Three Thousand Dao States era.


    Swoosh swoosh swoosh.


    Lin Yuan appeared not far away.


    Opening Heaven Immortal King, Great Immortal King, and other Supreme Immortal Kings followed behind Lin Yuan.


    "So many strong ones?"


    Opening Heaven Immortal King felt a chill down his spine. Only now did they realize howughable their ascension battles were.


    Any of the Supreme Immortal Kings standing at the entrance of the Ninth Heaven could suppress their group of more than twenty Supreme Immortal Kings.


    Great Immortal King was also nervous. If it weren''t for Lin Yuan standing in front of them, they might have considered fleeing.


    Among the Supreme Immortal Kings of the prehistoric era, the leading one was tall and had a chaotic aura. He stood at the forefront, clearly the leader of the Supreme Immortal Kings of the prehistoric era.


    "Chaos Immortal King."


    Lin Yuan looked calmly.


    After soul-searching Lingxu Immortal King, Lin Yuan naturally knew that Chaos Immortal King was the strongest Immortal King of the prehistoric era.


    "Martial Ancestor."


    Chaos Immortal King turned around, looking at Lin Yuan solemnly, "Lingxu has already told me."


    "Martial Ancestor, your strength far surpasses mine."


    "Whatever you want, just say it, and I will agree."


    Chaos Immortal King said frankly, as if yielding was not shameful.


    Indeed, Lingxu Immortal King had already shown the events of the Seventh Heaven to Chaos Immortal King and other Supreme Immortal Kings.


    Even Chaos Immortal King and all the Supreme Immortal Kings of the prehistoric era admitted they couldn''t achieve what Martial Ancestor did.


    In Chaos Immortal King''s numerous calctions, even if all the Supreme Immortal Kings joined forces against Martial Ancestor, they could only dy their defeat.


    Knowing the oue, Chaos Immortal King naturally chose to yield.


    "Oh?"


    Lin Yuan looked at Chaos Immortal King again.


    This was good, saving him some effort.


    "Separate your soul for me to soul-search." Lin Yuan said directly.


    He chose not to directly soul-search as a response to Chaos Immortal King''s cooperation.


    Separating a soul for Lin Yuan to soul-search was different from being subdued and then soul-searched, it was better for their dignity.


    "No problem."


    Chaos Immortal King separated part of his soul.


    This part contained all his memories. Lin Yuan only needed to soul-search this soul to know everything he wanted.


    Buzz.


    Lin Yuan took the part of Chaos Immortal King''s soul.


    In a few breaths, he finished the soul-searching.


    "So that''s it."


    Lin Yuan felt enlightened.


    In Chaos Immortal King''s memory, there was the reason for the end of the prehistoric era.


    At the end of the prehistoric era, a treasure fell from the Nine Heavens.


    This treasure caused many Supreme Immortal Kings to engage in a fierce battle.


    That battle almost led the Spirit Realm to apocalypse, with many Tribtion-stage Immortal Kings falling.


    In the end, Chaos Immortal King, as the victor, obtained the treasure and led his followers into the Eighth Heaven.


    After the prehistoric era.


    The Spirit Realm took a long time to recover and gradually entered the next era.


    The Three Thousand Dao States era.


    To this day, the Three Thousand Dao States era is still in its early stages, not even a fraction of the time experienced by the prehistoric era.


    "Give me the treasure."


    Lin Yuan looked at Chaos Immortal King.


    In the prehistoric era, Chaos Immortal King was one of the strongest. There were a few Supreme Immortal Kings who could match him. The treasure must be of great importance to make Chaos Immortal King risk fighting his peers.


    "This is the treasure."


    Chaos Immortal King hesitated but then handed over the treasure.


    Lin Yuan''s soul-searching of his soul fragment meant he had no reason to hide anything.


    The treasure Chaos Immortal King gave was an irregr stone, emitting wisps of mysterious power and a primordial aura.


    "This stone contains the aura of some kind of creation power, surpassing high-level creation power. If understood, even without taking that step, one can advance significantly in the domain of Supreme Immortal Kings."


    Chaos Immortal King exined, looking at the irregr stone in Lin Yuan''s hand.


    "Unfortunately, after all these years, I haven''t understood it. Even though I''m very close to the Ninth Heaven, I haven''t grasped it."


    Chaos Immortal King spoke with a hint of sadness.


    The mysterious aura from the Ninth Heaven was simr to the stone, leading Chaos Immortal King to believe that long-term proximity to the Ninth Heaven would help understand the stone.


    But over the years, his understanding of the stone had not advanced, and he had gained nothing from the mysterious creation power surpassing high-level creation power.


    This was also why he handed over the stone so readily.


    Chaos Immortal King felt that even if given another era, or ten eras, he would almost never understand the creation power within the stone.


    "Creation power surpassing high-level creation power?" Lin Yuan carefully observed the irregr stone.


    Compared to Chaos Immortal King''s limited understanding, Lin Yuan, from the main world, knew the essence of cosmic power and that the power surpassing high-level cosmic power was the power mastered by a ninth-rank evolver.


    Lin Yuan studied the irregr stone.


    [Your Unrivaled Insight is helping you understand the mysterious origin, deepening your grasp of its power.]


    [Your Unrivaled Insight is helping you understand the mysterious origin, deepening your grasp of its power.]


    [Your Unrivaled Insight is helping you understand the mysterious origin, deepening your grasp of its power.]


    "Mysterious origin." Lin Yuan pondered.


    One thing was certain, the aura within the stone did surpass high-level creation power.


    Lin Yuan watched for a while. If it were other high-level creation powers, he would have gained some insights, but facing this irregr stone, he had no significant gains.


    Of course, this ''no significant gains'' meant the gains were too small to notice.


    "The Ninth Heaven."


    Lin Yuan put away the irregr stone and looked towards the entrance of the Ninth Heaven.


    Compared to the entrances of the previous eight heavens, the entrance to the Ninth Heaven was vast, seemingly weing the Supreme Immortal Kings.


    But in fact, after soul-searching Chaos Immortal King''s memory, Lin Yuan knew that the tribtion leading to the Ninth Heaven was terrifyingly strong.


    The entrance to the Ninth Heaven contained the life imprints of the ten strongest Supreme Immortal Kings in the history of the Spirit Realm.


    In other words, to enter the Ninth Heaven, one must defeat the ten strongest Supreme Immortal Kings since the birth of the Spirit Realm.


    Actually, calling them the ten strongest Supreme Immortal Kings wasn''t entirely urate.


    They were the ten strongest beings.


    Because some of these Supreme Immortal Kings might have taken a half step further.


    The prehistoric era, the Three Thousand Dao States era.


    These were just the most recent two eras.


    Before these eras, there were even more ancient eras.


    No one knows when the Spirit Realm was born. Although the Supreme Immortal Kings exist with the Spirit Realm, it doesn''t mean they won''t die.


    For instance, the end of the prehistoric era saw the fall of many Supreme Immortal Kings.


    "With Martial Ancestor''s strength, he can definitely try to break through the entrance of the Ninth Heaven." Chaos Immortal King said softly.


    He had tried but couldn''t even defeat the life imprint of the first Supreme Immortal King, almost being crushed and barely retreating.


    "You want to watch me break through?"


    Lin Yuan nced at Chaos Immortal King, "No rush."


    Even Lin Yuan wouldn''t underestimate the ten strongest beings in the history of the Spirit Realm.


    That''s not just one era, but since the birth of the Spirit Realm.


    Lin Yuan would indeed try to break through the entrance of the Ninth Heaven, but not now. He would wait until his strength peaked.


    Currently, Lin Yuan surpassed Chaos Immortal King, the strongest Immortal King of an era, but he hadn''t reached his own limit.


    The green liquid in the mysterious gourd could still be absorbed.


    The eighth rank of the martial evolution system had not been fully developed.


    Theplete core space model had not beenprehended.


    The cultivation of Tai Chi power had not reached the third realm.


    Several other high-level creation powers and many ordinary creation powers were only at the first realm.


    There was also the irregr stone from Chaos Immortal King, containing mysterious creation power surpassing high-level creation power.


    Chaos Immortal King couldn''t understand it, but that didn''t mean Lin Yuan couldn''t. It was just a matter of time.


    There was still a long way to go before Lin Yuan reached his limit.


    And this time, Lin Yuan had a stay limit of over nine hundred years, with only four hundred years passed.


    Before knowing what unexpected events might ur after breaking through the entrance of the Ninth Heaven, Lin Yuan naturally wouldn''t rush in.


    Chaos Immortal King tried but quickly retreated because he faced the first life imprint.


    So, he had room to retreat.


    Lin Yuan wasn''t sure if he could retreat after facing deeper life imprints if he failed.


    In this case, Lin Yuan would be cautious.


    Other Supreme Immortal Kings yearned to ascend to the Ninth Heaven to take that step.


    Lin Yuan didn''t have that desire. The main world had manyplete evolution paths, giving Lin Yuan many ways to reach the ninth rank.


    What he needed to do now was to steadily pass the remaining stay time, turning it into gains to take back to the main world.


    "By the way."


    "All of you Supreme Immortal Kings, separate a wisp of your creation power and give it to me."


    Lin Yuan looked at Chaos Immortal King and the other Supreme Immortal Kings of the prehistoric era,manding them.


    "Yes."


    Chaos Immortal King was stunned. Although he didn''t know why Lin Yuan needed so many creation powers, he didn''t dare to ask and obediently separated a wisp of his creation power.


    "Very good."


    Lin Yuan looked at the dozens of wisps of creation power, including several high-level creation powers he had never seen, feeling quite satisfied.


    Thus.


    Lin Yuan''s true body remained stationed at the entrance to the Ninth Heaven, starting to meditate andprehend again.


    Time passed.


    Five hundred years flowed by like water.

 Chapter 268

    Chapter 268


    Xiaoyao City, Lin Mansion.


    Lin Yuan sat opposite Lin Jianping and Shen Zhen, chatting while eating spiritual delicacies.


    Over the past five hundred years, the name of Martial Ancestor had spread throughout the Three Thousand Dao States, even the strongest Immortal King of the prehistoric era, Chaos Immortal King, had willingly submitted to him.


    However, very few people knew about the parents of Martial Ancestor, which was deliberately suppressed by Lin Yuan.


    His time in the Spirit Realm was limited, and he couldn''t always protect Lin Jianping and Shen Zhen, so he tried to separate them from his identity as Martial Ancestor as much as possible.


    "Chang''er, try this spiritual delicacy," Shen Zhen said with a smile, and Lin Jianping was also in high spirits.


    After the three finished eating, Lin Yuan was silent for a moment and then said, "For a long time ahead, I may not being back."


    With only a few years left until his stay limit, ording to Lin Yuan''s n, this would be thest time he saw Lin Jianping and Shen Zhen.


    "A long time?"Lin Jianping and Shen Zhen looked a bit disappointed but also somewhat expected it. Lin Yuan was truly dazzling, overlooking the Three Thousand Dao States, hailed as the strongest of the era.


    Such a great existence was bound to have more important things to do.


    "Chang''er, go and do what you need to do. We are very satisfied with our current life," Lin Jianping said.


    Without Lin Yuan, their Lin family would still be a small family in Xiaoyao City, iparable to their current lofty status.


    "If you need any help, look for Li Qing. She will arrange everything," Lin Yuan nodded.


    Leaving the Lin Mansion, Lin Yuan walked along the streets of Xiaoyao City.


    Five hundred years had passed, and Xiaoyao City had already be the most prosperous center of Dongyun Dao States.


    The city had expanded dozens of times, covering an area of millions of miles.


    Every day, arge number of True Immortals and Half-Step Immortal Kings came and went, and even traces of Tribtion Immortal Kings could be seen.


    The martial arts cultivation system had spread throughout the Three Thousand Dao States, not losing to the immortal cultivation system at all.


    In fact, in the dozens of Dao States centered around Xiaoyao City, the martial arts cultivation system even overshadowed the immortal cultivation system.


    One could say that the prosperity of the martial arts cultivation system had reached its peak, and even those Tribtion Immortal Kings and Supreme Immortal Kings did not dare to shake it.


    "My current strength has reached a certain limit," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    As early as more than two hundred years ago, Lin Yuan hadpletely perfected the fourth stage of the eighth rank of the martial arts evolution system.


    Thus, the eighth rank was established. As for the ninth rank, Lin Yuan had also begun to try integrating the Tai Chi rules into the space rules, making some progress. Currently, the integration had reached about twenty to thirty percent.


    Additionally, Lin Yuan hadprehended over 5,500 core space models in the study of core space rules.


    In five hundred years, Lin Yuan hadprehended over nine hundred core space models, though the efficiency was notparable to the previous three hundred years when he hadprehended 1,600 core space models.


    But it must be noted that among the 7,782 core space models, the difficulty ofprehension increased as one progressed. Many eighth-rank peak evolvers were stuck on a single space model for thousands or tens of thousands of years.


    Lin Yuanprehended over nine hundred core space models in just five hundred years, with almost no bottlenecks, truly a monstrous talent.


    "Just over two thousand core space models remain to fully master theplete space rules," Lin Yuan thought.


    Space rules were the pir rules of the main world, and many ninth-rank strong ones had not mastered them. Although it was theoretically possible for eighth-rank evolvers to master theplete space rules, it was just theory.


    In the long history of the universe of the main world, no eighth-rank strong one had achieved this.


    Breaking through from the eighth to the ninth rank required rule integration, but space rules, as a pir rule, did not need to be fully mastered for integration.


    At the eighth rank, attempting toprehend space rules, likeprehending more cosmic powers, was extremely time-consuming and could dy the breakthrough to the ninth rank.


    "Five thousand five hundred core space rules are enough to support an internal world of 7.5 million miles in radius, plus the thirteenfold basic boost from absorbing the liquid in the mysterious gourd."


    "Now my internal world size has exceeded 97.5 million miles in radius, approaching 100 million miles."


    The green liquid in the mysterious gourd was far more difficult to absorb than the previous three types. In five hundred years, Lin Yuan had only absorbed about ny-nine percent of it.


    Theoretically, fully absorbing the four types of liquid in the mysterious gourd would increase the internal world''s size by 13.32 times.


    Now Lin Yuan had reached thirteen times, nearing theplete absorption of the green liquid.


    "Creation power," Lin Yuan thought about the greatest gain of this journey.


    The many other gains could be achieved anywhere, not necessarily in the Spirit Realm.


    But the creation power, only in the Spirit Realm could the suppression of such cosmic power be lifted, with the cooperation of various Immortal Kings, allowing Lin Yuan''s understanding of creation power to advance by leaps and bounds.


    "Currently, I have mastered twelve types of high-level creation power and over sixty types of ordinary creation power."


    In fact, in the past three to four hundred years, Lin Yuan had almost given up onprehending ordinary creation power.


    Because high-level creation power more or less epassed the essence of ordinary creation power,prehending one type of high-level creation power was equivalent toprehending several or a dozen types of ordinary creation power.


    "Twelve types of high-level creation power."


    Lin Yuan''s gaze heated up, focusing not on the twelve types of high-level creation power, but on the wisp of creation power with primordial aura in his internal world.


    This creation power was what Lin Yuan hadprehended from the treasure that fell from the Ninth Heaven, obtained from Chaos Immortal King.


    The end of the prehistoric era was rted to this stone-like treasure.


    Chaos Immortal King spected that this treasure contained mysterious power surpassing high-level creation power. However, despite spending an unknown amount of time and even upying the Eighth Heaven, he had notprehended anything.


    "Primordial Power," Lin Yuan thought passionately. With his Unrivaled Insight, it still took him over four hundred years toprehend it from the treasure.


    Lin Yuan named this creation power Primordial Power, symbolizing the power of the beginning of all things.


    Primordial Power at the first realm could suppress high-level creation power at the third stage. Even Lin Yuan was amazed by the power of this creation power.


    "Only a dozen years left... it''s time to venture into the Ninth Heaven," Lin Yuan decided, which was also the reason for bidding farewell to his parents.


    In a dozen years, even if he continued to cultivate in seclusion, it would not help much. Instead, it would be better to explore the legendary Ninth Heaven.


    Martial Temple Pce.


    Lin Yuan sat at the main seat, with dozens of strong ones from the Martial Temple standing respectfully below.


    In five hundred years, plus the previous three hundred years, under Lin Yuan''s deliberate cultivation, the martial arts cultivation system had produced eight seventh-rank warriors.


    And as Lin Yuan''s personal disciple in the lower realms, Li Qing had even established an internal world, stepping into the eighth rank of martial arts.


    "Martial Ancestor."


    The dozens of strong ones from the Martial Temple spoke fervently, bowing to Lin Yuan.


    "Over the centuries, martial arts cultivators have emerged inrge numbers, often suppressing immortal cultivators, but after today, you need to restrain yourselves," Lin Yuan said calmly, ncing at everyone.


    "Martial Ancestor is the strongest in the Three Thousand Dao States. Even those Tribtion Immortal Kings are respectful to you. Why should we restrain ourselves?" a young seventh-rank martial artist asked softly.


    Lin Yuan nced at him.


    This seventh-rank martial artist, with rare martial talent, followed the path of thunder,prehending the way of world-destroying thunder, excelling in attack.


    "After today, I will not return to the Three Thousand Dao States. You will have to rely on yourselves. If you don''t restrain, you will suffer," Lin Yuan said indifferently.


    With Li Qing, an eighth-rank martial artist, in charge, and the power Lin Yuan left behind, even if he disappeared, the martial arts cultivation system would remain unshaken for millions of years.


    Lin Yuan''s words were a reminder to the strong ones of the Martial Temple.


    "Where is Martial Ancestor going?"


    The other strong ones from the Martial Temple were shocked. What did Martial Ancestor mean by saying he wouldn''t return to the Three Thousand Dao States?


    "In any case, take care of yourselves." Lin Yuan didn''t exin much. Although consuming ten strands of Boundary-Breaking Source Power could bring him back to the Spirit Realm, he wouldn''t do it unless absolutely necessary.


    Even if the Martial Temple were to be destroyed in the future, as long as the martial arts cultivation system continued to spread, Lin Yuan wouldn''t bother to intervene.


    The Eighth Heaven.


    Chaos Immortal King, Opening Heaven Immortal King, and Great Immortal King gathered at the entrance to the Ninth Heaven.


    "Martial Ancestor summoned us here, but for what reason?"


    "Could it be that he wants to break into the Ninth Heaven?"


    "Martial Ancestor''s strength is unparalleled. He might indeed have the ability to enter the Ninth Heaven."


    "The entrance to the Ninth Heaven holds the life imprints of the ten strongest beings in the history of the Spirit Realm. Martial Ancestor is indeed powerful, butpared to the strongest beings throughout history..."


    The Supreme Immortal Kings discussed quietly. The history of the Spirit Realm was unfathomable, and in the earliest eras, there were terrifying beings born with the heavens and earth.


    No matter how great Martial Ancestor was,pared to those beings born with the heavens and earth, he might still fall short.


    At this moment, Lin Yuan appeared silently.


    "Martial Ancestor."


    "Martial Ancestor."


    "Martial Ancestor."


    Chaos Immortal King and other Supreme Immortal Kings immediately stopped talking and bowed slightly to Martial Ancestor.


    "I am entering the Ninth Heaven. If you want to watch, stay here," Lin Yuan said, ncing at the Supreme Immortal Kings.


    After saying this, Lin Yuan disappeared.


    He appeared at the entrance to the Ninth Heaven.


    "Is Martial Ancestor really going to break into the Ninth Heaven?"


    "Let''s watch. This is something that might not happen even once in an era."


    "I wonder how far Martial Ancestor can go."


    The Supreme Immortal Kings were excited, discussing quickly.


    The passage to the Ninth Heaven was divided into tenyers.


    Eachyer had a life imprint, a total of ten life imprints.


    These ten life imprints came from the ten strongest beings in the history of the Spirit Realm.


    "Although I have the strength of the strongest Immortal King of the prehistoric era, I had no resistance against the life imprint of the firstyer. Can Martial Ancestor defeat the firstyer''s life imprint?" Chaos Immortal King was expectant.


    Five hundred years ago, facing Martial Ancestor, he knew he was no match and willingly submitted.


    Chaos Immortal King knew Martial Ancestor was strong, but just how strong was a mystery. Now, he could find out by watching Martial Ancestor break into the Ninth Heaven.


    "The firstyer''s life imprint."


    Lin Yuan entered the passage, with mist swirling around him, quickly forming a humanoid figure.


    This figure wore red armor, standing there like the sun of the Spirit Realm, filled with endless light and heat.


    The life imprint of the firstyer of the Ninth Heaven''s passage, although the weakest of the tenyers, was still among the top ten strongest beings in the history of the Spirit Realm.


    Even the strongest of an era, like Chaos Immortal King, had no resistance against it and was crushed.


    "You."


    The figure in red armor looked down at Lin Yuan, with only the instinct to fight, no emotions.


    Outside the passage.


    Chaos Immortal King and other Supreme Immortal Kings widened their eyes.


    From Martial Ancestor''s battle with the firstyer''s life imprint, they could see Martial Ancestor''s truebat strength.


    "I wonder how many moves Martial Ancestor can withstand," Chaos Immortal King observed closely. He expected a drawn-out battle, and even if Martial Ancestor won, it would be a hard-fought victory. Moreover, there was a high chance he wouldn''t win.


    Inside the passage.


    Lin Yuan also looked at his opponent.


    "Don''t recognize you." Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. The Spirit Realm had gone through countless eras, with many strong ones lost in history.


    Lin Yuan knew most about the Three Thousand Dao States era and some about the prehistoric era. As for the even more ancient eras, he knew very little.


    "I haveprehended all the creation powers you possess." Lin Yuan lost interest and nned to end the battle quickly.


    Boom.


    Lin Yuan raised his right hand and pressed forward.


    Terrifying world power surged out, and the figure in red armor was instantly crushed by the immense world power.


    With Lin Yuan''s internal world of nearly 100 million miles in radius, the extended world power, and the amplification from various creation powers, it was terrifying to the extreme. No techniques or secrets were needed, just sheer force.


    "What?"


    "It''s over already?"


    "Martial Ancestor is too strong."


    Outside the passage, the Supreme Immortal Kings were stunned.


    They had spected on how many moves Martial Ancestor could withstand without falling, but the reality was the opposite. The being ranked tenth in the history of the Spirit Realm couldn''t even withstand one move from Martial Ancestor.


    "Martial Ancestor..." Chaos Immortal King couldn''t believe it. He had tried to break through the firstyer and knew its terror.


    But the strong one formed from this life imprint was as fragile as a baby before Martial Ancestor.


    Inside the passage, Lin Yuan quickly reached the secondyer after breaking through the first.


    Then came the third, fourth, and fifthyers.


    These life imprints transformed into various beings, not limited to humans, including true dragons, sky phoenixes, qilins, and other terrifying beings.


    These beingspletely surpassed Supreme Immortal Kings, but they were still as fragile as ants before Lin Yuan, just like the red-armored figure of the firstyer.


    One move was enough.


    Quickly, Lin Yuan reached the tenthyer.


    Thisyer''s life imprint was the strongest being since the birth of the Spirit Realm.


    Amid the swirling mist, Lin Yuan stood waiting.


    Soon, a tall figure emerged from the depths of the mist.


    This tall figure had a youthful face, with boundless energy and blood coursing through his body, vast and unending.

 Chapter 269

    Chapter 269


    Outside the passageway.


    The Supreme Immortal Kings, including the Chaos Immortal King, were all stunned.


    They initially thought that after Martial Ancestor defeated the firstyer opponent with one move, he would need to struggle and collide with the opponents in the subsequentyers.


    But to their surprise, for Martial Ancestor, the firstyer opponent was just the beginning.


    All the opponents in the second and thirdyers were also defeated with a single blow.


    How could this be possible?


    Could it be that all the opponents in the first, second, and thirdyers had the same strength? A little thought from the many Immortal Kings made it clear that this was impossible.


    The only possibility was that Martial Ancestor was too powerful.


    For example, the Chaos Immortal King, a Supreme Immortal King, would defeat an ordinary Tribtion Immortal King, whether at the beginning or peak, with a single move."My heavens, that''s the Dragon Ancestor, the progenitor of the True Dragons in the Spirit Realm, born at the opening of the Spirit Realm and disappeared countless ages ago."


    A Supreme Immortal King saw that Martial Ancestor''s seventhyer opponent was a million-foot-long True Dragon, with golden dragon horns exuding a noble aura.


    The Dragon Ancestor was the progenitor of all True Dragons in the Spirit Realm. It is said that the Dragon Ancestor intentionally integrated his bloodline into all living beings.


    Even though the Dragon Ancestor had disappeared countless millennia ago, the True Dragon bloodline still circted.


    In the Three Thousand Dao States, the Nine Rivers Region is a ''Dragon Rising Land,'' where a Tribtion Stage Dragon King was born.


    Of course, that Dragon King couldn''tpare to the Dragon Ancestor. The former would be suppressed by the natural bloodline gap without needing to make a move when facing thetter.


    The Dragon Ancestor was too famous, with his bloodline still circting in the Spirit Realm and not vanishing into history, so the Supreme Immortal Kings recognized him at a nce.


    In fact, the Dragon Ancestor''s strength was terrifying, located at the entrance of the ninth heaven''s seventhyer.


    This means that, ording to the Spirit Realm''s judgment, the Dragon Ancestor is the fourth strongest being since the Spirit Realm''s creation.


    However, in front of Lin Yuan, the Dragon Ancestor, considered invincible by many Supreme Immortal Kings, was defeated with a single punch, shattering his dragon body with the residual power.


    The many Immortal Kings remained silent.


    The Chaos Immortal King was dazed.


    "That''s the Phoenix Ancestor. I didn''t expect the Phoenix Ancestor to be stronger than the Dragon Ancestor, being in the thirdyer."


    When Lin Yuan entered the eighthyer, the Supreme Immortal Kings once again perked up, looking at the opponent of thisyer and began to discuss.


    The Phoenix Ancestor, like the Dragon Ancestor, was a powerful being born at the beginning of the Spirit Realm and also integrated her bloodline into all living beings.


    In many ces within the Three Thousand Dao States, there are numerous Phoenix nests, nurturing many beings with the Phoenix bloodline.


    Although the Phoenix Ancestor sparked much discussion among the Supreme Immortal Kings, thinking of the Dragon Ancestor''s earlier fate, everyone sighed inwardly.


    As expected.


    Facing the awe-inspiring Phoenix Ancestor, Lin Yuan once again delivered a single punch, tearing apart the Phoenix body and entering the ninthyer.


    Soon.


    He entered the tenthyer.


    Until thisyer, all the Supreme Immortal Kings, including the self-doubting Chaos Immortal King, were suddenly shocked.


    The tenthyer.


    It was the finalyer leading to the ninth heaven''s passage.


    It was also theyer containing the life imprint of the strongest being since the Spirit Realm''s creation.


    To pass thisyer, one must defeat the strongest being since the Spirit Realm''s creation.


    How difficult could this be? This isn''t the strongest being of an era, nor the strongest being of a generation.


    It is the strongest being since the Spirit Realm''s creation. It can be inferred that the strongest being since the Spirit Realm''s creation would be vastly superior to the second and third strongest beings.


    "I wonder what the strongest being since the Spirit Realm''s creation looks like?"


    The many Supreme Immortal Kings closely watched the tenthyer while conversing.


    "Is it a human?"


    "It shouldn''t be. Look at the seventh, eighth, and ninthyers. Those beings aren''t human. Compared to the Dragon and Phoenix Ancestors, humans have no advantage."


    The Supreme Immortal Kings voiced their opinions.


    If it weren''t for the passage of eras and the disappearance of those powerful bloodline progenitors, the recent eras'' rulers wouldn''t necessarily be human Immortal Kings.


    "Probably a powerful being born at the beginning of the world, like the Dragon and Phoenix Ancestors."


    An Immortal King spoke, prompting others to nod in agreement.


    As the Supreme Immortal Kings conversed.


    From the tenthyer''s entrance passage, a figure emerged from the depths of the clouds and mist.


    This figure was humanoid, with fluttering sleeves, exuding a terrifying aura that covered the Three Thousand Dao States.


    "Martial Ancestor. Is this Martial Ancestor?"


    "The life imprint of the tenthyer is actually Martial Ancestor?"


    "Martial Ancestor is...the strongest being since the Spirit Realm''s creation?"


    The Supreme Immortal Kings were in an uproar.


    The strongest being since the Spirit Realm''s creation, what an exalted evaluation? They never imagined that this strongest being would be Martial Ancestor, who lived in the same era as them.


    "Indeed, easily piercing through the previous nineyers, Martial Ancestor..."


    The Chaos Immortal King murmured.


    The previous nineyers'' opponents were not Martial Ancestor''s match for even one punch.


    If Martial Ancestor isn''t the strongest being since the Spirit Realm''s creation, then who is?


    "The strongest being since the Spirit Realm''s creation...I didn''t expect to have the honor of witnessing such a strong one."


    "Yes, surpassing the Dragon and Phoenix Ancestors, Martial Ancestor is truly extraordinary."


    The Supreme Immortal Kings were full of emotion.


    But then.


    The Supreme Immortal Kings realized.


    Martial Ancestor is the strongest being since the Spirit Realm''s creation, with undeniable supremebat power and killing ability.


    But can suchbat power and killing ability defeat Martial Ancestor himself?


    "Unfair, there''s no way to pass the ninth heaven''s entrance."


    "Indeed, without being one of the ten strongest beings since the Spirit Realm''s creation, one can''t even pass the firstyer."


    "Being the strongest being since the Spirit Realm''s creation, yet having to fight against one''s own life imprint?"


    "How can this be won?"


    The Supreme Immortal Kings conversed fervently.


    The opponent formed by the life imprint wouldn''t suffer anybat power loss. All the original''s methods, abilities, talents, and divine powers could be used.


    So the Supreme Immortal Kings reacted strongly. For any strong person, there are ways to defeat enemies, but to defeat oneself?


    How to win?


    Moreover, the opponent formed by the life imprint has no emotions, only battle instincts, making it even more challenging.


    Of course, since both have the same methods and abilities, the opponent defeating Martial Ancestor is almost impossible, but Martial Ancestor defeating the opponent is also almost impossible.


    "This ninth heaven clearly doesn''t want us to pass." The Chaos Immortal King sighed, looking at Martial Ancestor standing on the tenthyer.


    The tenthyer.


    Lin Yuan looked at his opponent on thisyer.


    Identical to himself, with the same aura, the same blood and qi fluctuations, and even a faint world breath emanating from within.


    The only difference was the opponent''s cold, mechanical eyes. "This Spirit Realm..."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. Although he didn''t actively integrate his life imprint into the Spirit Realm, as long as one exists in the Spirit Realm and has fought, if their strength reaches a certain level, their life imprint will be automatically recorded by the Spirit Realm.


    As Lin Yuan stood for a while, the condensed ''Martial Ancestor'' took the initiative to strike.


    These strong opponents condensed by life imprints have no emotions or thoughts, only one purpose, to defeat Lin Yuan.


    Boom!!


    The terrifying aura directly prated the entrance passages of the previous nineyers, spreading and covering the eighth heaven.


    "So strong?"


    "Martial Ancestor didn''t use much strength in the previous eightyers..."


    The Supreme Immortal Kings felt their scalps tingle and immediately began to resist with all their might.


    At the tenthyer, Martial Ancestor and the ''Martial Ancestor'' exchanged hundreds of blows in an instant.


    The martial cultivation system, various forces of creation, even the primordial force that surpasses higher creation forces, the power of the internal world spanning nearly a 100M miles, etc. Everything Lin Yuan possesses, the opponent also possesses.


    "It''s troublesome" Lin Yuan''s brows slightly furrowed.


    The opponent ''Martial Ancestor'' is both strong and not strong.


    Lin Yuan felt it wasn''t strong because the opponent replicated himself, and who understands oneself better than oneself?


    In such circumstances, the opponent ''Martial Ancestor'' has no chance of defeating Lin Yuan, but Lin Yuan also finds it difficult to defeat the opponent.


    "Unfortunately, my strength is still too low." Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    The life imprint replication at the ninth heaven''s entrance also has its limits.


    For instance, it can''t replicate aplete Strongest one.


    However, Lin Yuan''s current strength cannotpare to the entire Spirit Realm''s mass. His internal world spans nearly 100M miles, not evenparable to arge domain of the Spirit Realm, so replicating all of Lin Yuan''s abilities is easy.


    "Should I try the physical divine power ''Enhancement''?"


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    The physical divine power ''Enhancement'' is an ability that his physical body awakened upon his descent.


    Once used, everything about himself, including his body, qi, blood, soul, and mind, will be enhanced tenfold.


    Of course, it can onlyst for ten breaths, after which Lin Yuan will experience a period of weakness.


    Since awakening this divine power, Lin Yuan has never tried it because there was no need; no opponent he encountered ever forced him to use this divine power.


    Due to the side effects of the divine power ''Enhancement,'' it can only be used as ast resort.


    "What if the opponent also replicates the divine power ''Enhancement''?" Lin Yuan looked at the opponent ''Martial Ancestor.''


    Then he suddenly exploded, sacrificing his left arm to destroy the opponent''s right arm.


    Swoosh. The physical divine power ''Blood Rebirth'' operated automatically, and Lin Yuan''s left arm quickly recovered.


    Lin Yuan looked at the opponent ''Martial Ancestor'' and found that the opponent''s right arm was also rapidly recovering.


    "Blood Rebirth is also replicated. Presumably, ''Enhancement'' is also replicated." Lin Yuan immediately understood.


    He realized that if he used the divine power ''Enhancement,'' the opponent would likely use the ''Enhancement'' divine power as well.


    Although this divine power has the effect of tenfold enhancement, if both sides enhance, it''s equivalent to no enhancement.


    At the eighth heaven, at the entrance to the ninth heaven.


    Although the battle''s aftermath between the two ''Martial Ancestor'' spread to the eighth heaven, the Supreme Immortal Kings on the scene joined forces to resist, still managing to hold on, unwilling to give up watching the tenthyer''s battle.


    The battle of the strongest being since the Spirit Realm''s creation might never have another chance after today. The Supreme Immortal Kings were determined to watch, even at the cost of their physical bodies.


    "Lord Martial Ancestor isn''t at a disadvantage, but he hasn''t gained an advantage either. If this drags on, the battle will be a stalemate."


    The Chaos Immortal King whispered. Although the battle level between the two Martial Ancestor was too high, he could still judge the basic advantage and disadvantage.


    "There are always stronger beings, higher heavens, but this ninth heaven can''t be reached. Even the strongest being in history, Martial Ancestor, struggles so much. Who else can reach it?"


    A Supreme Immortal King spoke with a tone of disappointment, feeling that the pursuit of the ninth heaven was a mere illusion.


    "There are always stronger beings, higher heavens." The Chaos Immortal King remained silent.


    This saying had existed for an unknown period, even extending to another meaning in the Three Thousand Dao States.


    That is, beyond the strong, there are stronger ones. Even Supreme Immortal Kings aren''t invincible.


    At this moment, this saying seemed appropriate. Even the strongest being in history, Martial Ancestor, was blocked on the tenthyer.


    Even if Martial Ancestor passed the tenthyer and entered the ninth heaven, he might encounter even stronger opponents.


    The tenthyer.


    Lin Yuan continued to battle the opponent ''Martial Ancestor.''


    "The only way to defeat the opponent is to use methods he can''t replicate," Lin Yuan thought calmly, his eyes brightening.


    "Unreplicable..."


    Lin Yuan looked at the opponent ''Martial Ancestor,'' "You have everything of mine, but can you possess my Insight?"


    Lin Yuan''s unrivaled Insight came from the Gate of Myriad Realms, a power beyond the Strongest one. The Spirit Realm couldn''t replicate a Strongest one, let alone the Gate of Myriad Realms.


    [Your unrivaled Insight allows you to perceive the opponent''s weaknesses during the battle]


    In an instant, numerous ws in the opponent ''Martial Ancestor'' appeared in Lin Yuan''s vision.


    "Primordial force."


    Lin Yuan activated the world force, merging it with the primordial force that surpasses higher creation forces, delivering a terrifying blow that instantly prated the opponent ''Martial Ancestor.''


    The battle ended.


    The opponent ''Martial Ancestor'' stood there, dazed.


    His internal world began to copse, disintegrating into powder under Lin Yuan''s strike.


    Swish.


    The tenthyer opponent disappeared.


    Lin Yuan stepped forward, disappearing from the tenthyer.


    The ninth heaven.


    The clouds rolled.


    Boundless.


    Lin Yuan stood alone on the mountain peak.


    "They say there are higher heavens, stronger beings, but in the ninth heaven, where are the people?"


    Lin Yuan looked around, seeing all beings beneath him, standing alone on the peak, looking down from above, as if only he existed in the vast world.


    "I''m alone"

 Chapter 270

    Chapter 270


    Eighth Heaven.


    A group of Supreme Immortal Kings fell into silence.


    "Martial Ancestor¡­ Did Martial Ancestor ascend to the Ninth Heaven?" After a long pause, the voice of the Supreme Immortal King trembled slightly.


    As Supreme Immortal Kings, even those born in the Three Thousand Dao States era, who wielded the power of the universe, had long since lost the capacity for shock.


    But in the past few hundred years, due to the emergence of Martial Ancestor, their understanding had been repeatedly refreshed.


    Now, he had ascended to the Ninth Heaven, achieving the ultimate goal of all Immortal Kings for countless eras.


    "He should have ascended," the Opening Heaven Immortal King took a deep breath. "After the tenthyer is the Ninth Heaven. Martial Ancestor is already there."


    The many Immortal Kings exchanged nces, their minds racing with thoughts.


    Although Martial Ancestor''s ascent to the Ninth Heaven had nothing to do with them, they felt a strange sense of participation, having witnessed his ascent firsthand."I wonder what''s in the Ninth Heaven? Is it filled with wonders and phenomena like the previous eight heavens?"


    "I don''t know, but it''s said that there are ''Celestial Beings'' in the Ninth Heaven. I wonder if Martial Ancestor encountered them?"


    "We''ve witnessed a monumental event in the history of the Spirit Realm; our lives are not in vain."


    The Supreme Immortal Kings discussed among themselves. In the past, they were divided into factions based on their eras, the Prehistoric Immortal Kings and the Three Thousand Dao States Immortal Kings.


    But now, in the face of Martial Ancestor''s ascension to the Ninth Heaven, all Supreme Immortal Kings discarded their differences. As beings of the Spirit Realm, they were all the same.


    "The Ninth Heaven¡­ No one will likely ever ascend it again," the Chaos Immortal King sighed, looking at the entrance to the Ninth Heaven.


    The other Supreme Immortal Kings felt a resonance with his words.


    Ascending to the Ninth Heaven was the goal of all powerful beings in the Spirit Realm. In the ancient eras, which none of the present Immortal Kings knew of, perhaps some strong beings had ascended to the Ninth Heaven.


    For instance, the Dragon Ancestor, whose life imprint was in the seventhyer, mysteriously disappeared. Perhaps he had entered the Ninth Heaven.


    And the Phoenix Ancestor, among others.


    The older the era, the fewer life imprints remained in the Spirit Realm, leading to the weaker strength of the ten strongest beings in the Ninth Heaven entrance passage.


    Thus, the difficulty of passing was also lower.


    Of course, all this was the Chaos Immortal King''s spection.


    He didn''t know whether the Dragon Ancestor or the Phoenix Ancestor had truly ascended to the Ninth Heaven.


    But at least there was that possibility, that hope.


    But now.


    The Chaos Immortal King was certain.


    No one would ever ascend to the Ninth Heaven again; there was no hope of doing so.


    With Martial Ancestor present, with his life imprint guarding the tenthyer, the Chaos Immortal King couldn''t imagine how future Supreme Immortal Kings, who aimed for the Ninth Heaven, would feel the cruelty of this reality.


    Martial Ancestor''s strength was aplete disparitypared to the previous nineyers'' nine strongest beings of the Spirit Realm.


    Even if the strength of the nine beings were multiplied tenfold or a hundredfold, it would still be a matter of a punch or a few punches for Martial Ancestor.


    Imagine a future Supreme Immortal King, who hadprehended all high-level and ordinary creation forces and had been invincible for countless eras.


    Then, with full confidence, attempts to ascend to the Ninth Heaven.


    After brutal battles, finally reaching the tenthyer, only to be killed by Martial Ancestor''s life imprint in one strike¡­ How despairing would that be?


    From the firstyer to the ninthyer, the difficulty of defeating opponents increased gradually, from one to nine.


    Then, at the tenthyer, the difficulty suddenly skyrocketed to ten thousand. So, to the Chaos Immortal King and other Supreme Immortal Kings, the ascension to the Ninth Heaven was a feat that would never be repeated.


    In countless future eras, the strongest of the Spirit Realm would live in the shadow of Martial Ancestor''s terrifying presence.


    Ninth Heaven.


    Lin Yuan stood alone on the mountain peak, lost in thought.


    "This Ninth Heaven has no other beings. Could it be that I am the so-called ''Celestial Being''?" Lin Yuan''s expression was somewhat peculiar.


    It was said that the ''Celestial Being'' in the Ninth Heaven overlooked the Spirit Realm, immortal for all ages. If Lin Yuan wanted, he could seemingly do the same.


    Even with the limit on his stay, with Lin Yuan''s current physical strength, he could indeed achieve eternal existence.


    It must be known that Lin Yuan''s body was not an ordinary peak eighth-rank martial body. Enhanced thirteen times by the mysterious gourd, Lin Yuan''s physical strength was also significantly amplified.


    "However, the mysterious aura here is indeed much denser, greatly beneficial forprehending creation forces."


    Lin Yuan sensed the surroundings for a while and concluded.


    The Ninth Heavencked the myriad wonders and phenomena of the previous eight heavens, with only an endless sea of clouds rolling and a mysterious aura permeating the void.


    This mysterious aura was present in the Eighth Heaven but was much thinner. ording to Lin Yuan''s ''tests,'' the mysterious aura allowed one to perceive the essence of various creation forces more clearly.


    "Primordial Stones." Lin Yuan nced at the mountain peak beneath his feet, which was simr to the stone treasure he had obtained from the Chaos Immortal King.


    It contained the aura of primordial force, which surpassed high-level creation forces.


    Lin Yuan called this stone the ''Primordial Stone.''


    "What is that?"


    Lin Yuan looked up towards the direction above the Ninth Heaven.


    At the highest point of the space, in the highest sense of the word, a vast world far surpassing the Spirit Realm revealed itself.


    "The Immortal Realm."


    "This is the legendary Immortal Realm."


    Lin Yuan''s expression turned contemtive. Legends of the Immortal Realm had always existed in the Spirit Realm.


    It was said to be the true upper realm, the residence of the Dao Ancestor.


    The Dao Ancestor, also known as the progenitor of the Immortal Dao, was the source of the Immortal Dao cultivation system. In the main world''s terms, it represented the ultimate of an evolution system.


    In other words, a Strongest one.


    Back in the Immortal World, Lin Yuan had vaguely sensed the terrifying nature of the Immortal Dao cultivation system, almostparable to the nine ultimate evolution systems of the main world.


    Thus, Lin Yuan spected that the Immortal Dao cultivation system might have an ultimate existence, and the flourishing of the Immortal Dao in the Immortal World might be due to that ultimate will.


    For this reason, Lin Yuan did not spread the Immortal Dao cultivation system in the main world.


    To the ultimate Strongest ones, they could clearly sense all beings cultivating their system.


    The Spirit Realm and even the Immortal Realm existed in a different dimensionalyer from the main world.


    Even the Strongest ones couldn''t traverse different dimensionalyers to descend into another time-space.


    But with a ''beacon,'' it would be different, akin to apass in the vast ocean.


    And beings cultivating the Immortal Dao would serve as beacons to the Dao Ancestor.


    Spreading the Immortal Dao in the main world would not only increase the Dao Ancestor''s intangible foundation but also possibly allow them to locate the main world''s time-space.


    Such a hidden danger was something Lin Yuan naturally wouldn''t do.


    Moreover, doing so would have another drawback. If Lin Yuan could detect the ultimate existence of the Immortal Dao, so could the Strongest ones of the main world''s human civilization.


    At that time, how would Lin Yuan exin to the Strongest ones of human civilization? Spreading the martial evolution path was different because Lin Yuan created it, and it had never birthed an ultimate existence.


    The first world Lin Yuan traveled to provided the initial inspiration for the martial evolution system, but subsequent developments followed his own path.


    "Since the Immortal Realm can birth such ultimate existences as the Dao Ancestor, it might not be much weaker than the main world. Even if there is a difference, they''re probably on the same level."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself, his gaze still fixed on the highest point of space where the Immortal Realm''s edge appeared.


    This was Lin Yuan''s second time seeing the ''Immortal Realm.''


    The first time was before his travels when he infused a sliver of his mind into the Gate of Myriad Realms, observing the Spirit Realm from its perspective and noticing the vast world above the Spirit Realm.


    The second time was now. In the past few hundred years, Lin Yuan had perfected his cultivation, tearing through the Spirit Realm''s space and entering the void currents outside the world.


    But he did not sense the Immortal Realm''s aura.


    It seemed that the Immortal Realm''s location was in a different spaceyer from the Spirit Realm, only perceivable after ascending to the Ninth Heaven.


    Of course, the Gate of Myriad Realms could also sense the Immortal Realm due to its high nature.


    From the perspective of the Gate of Myriad Realms, the Immortal Realm and the Spirit Realm, no matter how many spaceyers apart, were visible.


    "The Immortal Realm¡­"


    Lin Yuan carefully observed the vast world at the highest point of space.


    At this moment¡ª


    In the depths of Lin Yuan''s mind, the majestic and grand Gate of Myriad Realms suddenly began to shine.


    An invisible wave spread instantly towards the Immortal Realm.


    Momentster.


    A stream of information flowed from the Gate of Myriad Realms.


    "The Immortal Realm¡­ The world coordinates of the Immortal Realm." A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    The Ninth Heaven of the Spirit Realm and the Immortal Realm existed in the same spaceyer, which is why one could see a corner of the Immortal Realm.


    Under such circumstances, observing the Immortal Realm from the Ninth Heaven would likely allow one to deduce the coordinates of the Immortal Realm.


    The Gate of Myriad Realms could replicate world coordinates, a function Lin Yuan had known since the Immortal World. He had once replicated the Spirit Realm''s coordinates through the Ascension tform.


    Now, being so close to the Immortal Realm, locking onto its coordinates wasn''t surprising.


    "By flying upward from the Ninth Heaven, one can eventually approach and even enter the Immortal Realm¡­"


    Lin Yuan thought.


    If one were to break through the Spirit Realm''s space and enter the void outside, approaching the Immortal Realm would be almost impossible, as the Spirit Realm and the Immortal Realm were in different spaceyers.


    But the Ninth Heaven area was in the same spaceyer as the Immortal Realm. By continuously flying towards the target, one could get closer and closer to the Immortal Realm.


    "Forget it; time is running out."


    Lin Yuan thought and abandoned the idea of entering the Immortal Realm.


    Firstly, he only had a little over ten years left in his stay.


    Even if he flew upwards from the Ninth Heaven, he would likely have to return to the main world midway.


    Secondly, since he had the coordinates of the Immortal Realm, deciding whether to descend into the Immortal Realm and when was entirely up to Lin Yuan.


    "The next ten years or so will be spent cultivating in the Ninth Heaven."


    Lin Yuan nced at the boundless rolling sea of clouds beneath him and made a decision.


    The Ninth Heaven''s dense mysterious aura was highly suitable forprehending creation forces. Despite Lin Yuan''s unrivaled insight, he wouldn''t refuse such assistance.


    Time passed slowly.


    Seventeen years flew by in the blink of an eye.


    [Name: Lin Chang (Lin Yuan)]


    [Identity: Master of the Gate of Myriad Realms]


    [Bound Talent: Unrivaled Insight]


    [Divine Ability: Blood Rebirth, Moving Mountains, Enhancement]


    [Current Status: Consciousness Descended]


    [Remaining Stay Time: One Day]


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes and nced at the ethereal text below.


    "It''s about time to go back."


    Lin Yuan rose, overlooking the boundless sea of clouds below.


    In the past few years, Lin Yuan had mostly spent his timeprehending creation forces, reaching the third realm in his understanding of the Tai Chi Force.


    In addition, he had also reached the second realm inprehending seven high-level creation forces.


    For the Supreme Immortal Kings of the Spirit Realm, it could take tens of thousands of years to make such progress in creation forces.


    In just a few years, Lin Yuan had achieved such results, thanks to his unrivaled insight and the conducive environment of the Ninth Heaven.


    "Lastly, how should I deal with this physical body?"


    Lin Yuan pondered. After nearly a thousand years of tempering, this body was akin to his blood and sweat.


    However, once Lin Yuan returned, his mind and consciousness would return to the main world, leaving his body behind.


    This seemed wasteful.


    "Well, it will be to your advantage."


    Lin Yuan''s thought flickered, and a palm-sized ''bell-shaped'' treasure appeared before him.


    It was the Primordial Essence Gold.


    Shortly after summoning the mysterious gourd to the Spirit Realm, Lin Yuan had also brought this Primordial Essence Gold to nurture within his body.


    Primordial Essence Gold had tremendous growth potential but required constant nurturing.


    In the main world, Lin Yuan''s rapid increase in strength left no time to nurture the Primordial Essence Gold.


    So, during his sixth and eighth transmigrations, Lin Yuan had taken the Primordial Essence Gold to the transmigrated worlds for nurturing.


    After all, it only cost an extra sliver of breaking boundary source power, which Lin Yuan could afford.


    Buzz.


    The Primordial Essence Gold floated before Lin Yuan.


    Simultaneously.


    Within Lin Yuan''s body, the primordial force that surpassed high-level creation forces began circting through his limbs and bones.


    The primordial force, known as the most primitive and original power, could transform anything into the most fundamental essence and energy.


    It could return things to their original state.


    At this moment, as the primordial force continuously circted, Lin Yuan''s physical body and blood energy were transformed into the most fundamental energy.


    Then, this energy flowed into the Primordial Essence Gold, continually enhancing its essence.


    Lin Yuan couldn''t directly bring his body back to the main world, but he could convert it into resources to enhance the Primordial Essence Gold.


    Then, bringing the significantly enhanced Primordial Essence Gold back to the main world wouldn''t be a loss.


    Swoosh.


    As Lin Yuan''s physical body continually transformed into fundamental essence and energy, merging into the Primordial Essence Metal, the ''bell-shaped'' treasure emitted a soul-stirring wave.


    Half a dayter.


    Lin Yuan''s physical body fully merged into the Primordial Essence Gold, and his internal world disintegrated into the most primitive source force, merging into the Primordial Essence Gold.


    Immediately.


    The Primordial Essence Gold, the mysterious gourd, and Lin Yuan''s mind and consciousness all flowed into the Gate of Myriad Realms, returning to the main world.

 Chapter 271

    Chapter 271


    Main World.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    Lin Yuan sat deep in the great hall and slowly opened his eyes.


    "Finally back."


    Lin Yuan looked around; this time, he had spent 920 years in the Spirit Realm.


    In the Main World, only less than two years had passed.


    The time flow rate was equivalent to 1:500.


    One year in the Main World equaled 500 years in the Spirit Realm.


    "If it''s the Immortal Realm above the Spirit Realm, the time flow rate might decrease to 1:100? Or even 1:50."Lin Yuan spected silently.


    This was already very close to the time flow rate of the Main World. Although the Immortal Realm might have ultimate immortal beings like Dao Ancestors, it definitely did not match the scale of the Main World.


    How many beings at the level of Dao Ancestors could the entire Immortal Realm have? But the Main World had quite a few strongest ones, with nine strongest ones just within human civilization alone.


    "Primordial Essence Gold."


    Lin Yuan raised his right hand, and a palm-sized ''bell-shaped'' treasure appeared.


    After Lin Yuan nurtured it in the Spirit Realm for hundreds of years and finally used his original power to transform his physical body and everything into primordial force, merging it into the Primordial Essence Gold.


    This ''bell-shaped'' treasure underwent significant transformation. The body that Lin Yuan had refined for nearly a thousand years in the Spirit Realm was so terrifying that the primordial force it transformed into almost ''burst'' the Primordial Essence Gold.


    This was the only ''trick'' Lin Yuan could think of to utilize the body from the transmigrated world.


    Since the body from the transmigrated world couldn''t be brought back, or rather bringing it back required an unbearable cost for Lin Yuan, he decided to transform it into part of the Primordial Essence Gold.


    Then bring back the Primordial Essence Gold instead.


    After all, the Primordial Essence Gold only needed a wisp of breaking boundary source power, which wouldn''t increase as it grew stronger.


    "The current Primordial Essence Gold is already no less than a rank nine weapon. As long as I break through to rank nine and nurture it for a while, it can be a rank nine weapon."


    Lin Yuan carefully sensed it and nodded slightly.


    The body he had refined in the Spirit Realm, and the primordial power formed within it, was not much weaker than a real rank nine being.


    The gap between him and a rank nine being was mainly in the understanding of rules, which did not affect the enhancement of the Primordial Essence Gold.


    "It saved me a lot of effort."


    Lin Yuan was quite satisfied. Although the Gate of Myriad Realms could bring back items from the transmigrated world, the body was also considered an ''item''.


    But the cost in breaking boundary source power was something Lin Yuan couldn''t afford.


    The current solution was perfect, at least it didn''t waste the body from the transmigrated world.


    "This transmigration has yielded unimaginable gains."


    Lin Yuan put away the Primordial Essence Gold and checked the mysterious gourd.


    He began to take stock of his harvest.


    The first was the understanding of the core space model.


    Before transmigrating, Lin Yuan hadprehended only 2,932 core space models.


    Now, Lin Yuan''sprehension of the core space model had reached over 5,500.


    This was a doubling in number, and the difficulty was exponentially greater, not just twice as hard.


    There were 7,782 core space models in total. Theoretically, as long as oneprehended 3,000 core space models, one could attempt to fuse other rules.


    Lin Yuanprehending over 5,500 core space models made him extremely dazzling even among the many peak eighth-rank beings in the Main World.


    The only ones who could surpass Lin Yuan were probably those favored by the universe''s space origin, such as the Red Kun Star Lord, a Star-Sea Kun.


    The Red Kun Star Lord hadprehended over 6,000 core space models, but this was due to the racial talent of the Star-Sea Kun.


    Lin Yuan relied entirely on himself and Unrivaled Insights.


    And how many years had the Red Kun Star Lord been cultivating? How many years had Lin Yuan been cultivating?


    The most crucial point was thatprehending space rules was just one of the many things Lin Yuan was focusing on. The time and effort spent on this were probably less than one-tenth of his total time and effort.


    "Inner World."


    Lin Yuan''s mind entered his Inner World.


    At this moment, the size of the Inner World was still the same as before the transmigration¡ª


    Ten million miles in diameter.


    As Lin Yuan''s spiritual will returned, his understanding of space quickly synchronized with the Inner World.


    This caused the Inner World to start expanding crazily.


    The 5,550 core space models were enough to support an Inner World of 7.5 million miles in diameter.


    Additionally, before the transmigration, Lin Yuan had absorbed the liquid from the mysterious gourd, achieving a fivefold increase.


    Under normal circumstances, Lin Yuan''s Inner World would expand to 37.5 million miles in diameter before stopping.


    Given the existing ten million miles in diameter, it still needed to expand by 27.5 million miles.


    Woosh.


    The expansion of the Inner World required a massive intake of energy.


    Lin Yuan''s expression changed slightly and he immediately began to suppress the Inner World to stop it from expanding.


    If he allowed the Inner World to expand, it wouldn''t take long for Lin Yuan to bepletely drained.


    The energy required for an expansion of 27.5 million miles in diameter was terrifying. In the Spirit Realm, Lin Yuan had spent two to three hundred years slowly growing.


    Now,pressing two to three hundred years into a short time, Lin Yuan could barely handle it.


    "Unfortunately, this time I can''t rely on my teacher." Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    In the previous expansions of his Inner World, Lin Yuan relied on the ''Red Spirit Liquid'' he had applied for.


    This was also a benefit of being one of the thirteen peak masters of the Red Kun Lineage, with unlimited ess to ''Red Spirit Liquid''.


    But now¡­


    It wasn''t that Lin Yuan lost this benefit.


    But to expand the Inner World to 37.5 million miles in diameter, the amount of ''Red Spirit Liquid'' needed would probably outweigh the entire Red Kun Star.


    Even if the Red Kun Star Lord could provide it, he''d have to sell everything he owned.


    And Lin Yuan couldn''t possibly ask the Red Kun Star Lord to pay such a high price.


    "I have to rely on myself." Lin Yuan thought silently.


    To support the expansion of the Inner World, Lin Yuan did have a resource: universe crystals.


    But universe crystals were too precious, and using them to expand the Inner World was too extravagant.


    Lin Yuan nned to use universe crystals to buy another type of energy simr to Red Spirit Liquid.


    One universe crystal could buy hundreds of tons of this pure energy, which could achieve the same effect as hundreds of universe crystals when used to expand the Inner World.


    The reason universe crystals were expensive was due to their extremely pure high-level universe energy, but for expanding the Inner World, only energy was needed, not purity.


    Therefore, using universe crystals for the Inner World expansion was ast resort. Normally, no evolver would do this.


    Moreover, Lin Yuan''s Inner World expansion wasn''t just ten or a hundred miles in diameter but several million miles.


    "Power of Creation¡­ No, it''s the cosmic power."


    Lin Yuan looked towards the sky of his Inner World. The Tai Chi force formed by the ck and white Yin and Yang upied a region, while twelve types of high-level creation forces each upied another region.


    Lastly, more than sixty types of ordinary creation forces upied the third region.


    In the center of all creation forces, the Primordial force held the center stage. With only the First Realm, the Primordial force suppressed the ten-plus high-level creation forces, and the sixty-plus ordinary creation forces did not dare to approach.


    The Tai Chi force had reached the Third Realm.


    Buzz.


    Lin Yuan watched one wave of creation forces after another.


    Vaguely, an indescribable fluctuation began to gather towards Lin Yuan''s body from the outer universe.


    Lin Yuan felt that as long as he opened the istion between the Inner World and the outer universe, these creation forces would leave their marks in the universe, transforming into the cosmic power and belonging solely to Lin Yuan.


    "Am I considered an invincible eighth rank now?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression was peculiar.


    Theoretically,prehending one cosmic power made one invincible at the eighth rank.


    But now, the cosmic power Lin Yuanprehended was close to a hundred types, including more than ten high-level cosmic powers, and even the unfathomable Primordial force that surpassed high-level cosmic powers.


    In the Spirit Realm, supreme immortal kings who masteredplete creation forces at least reached the First Realm,parable to invincible eighth-rank beings in the Main World.


    With Lin Yuan''s strength in the Spirit Realm, he could easily kill as many invincible eighth-rank beings as he encountered.


    Here, killing meant not just suppressing or repelling.


    Even now, with Lin Yuan''s strength not fully recovered, the dozens of cosmic powers he mastered made it easy to kill invincible eighth-rank beings.


    Even just mastering one cosmic power, with an Inner World of ten million miles in diameter, Lin Yuan would be considered a strong invincible eighth rank. Not to mention mastering dozens of cosmic powers.


    Among them was the Tai Chi force, a high-level cosmic power, cultivated to the Third Realm.


    "I can feel the impact of the cosmic power on the Inner World." Lin Yuan sensed deeply. In the Spirit Realm, he had already found that the cosmic power could make the Inner World more stable.


    Comparable to top-notch cosmic treasures like the Thunder Star.


    This was just ordinary cosmic power. High-level cosmic power was even more so, and the mysterious Primordial force directly enhanced the stability of Lin Yuan''s Inner World significantly.


    This was a qualitative change.


    The more stable the Inner World, the stronger the extended world power. When two eighth-rank beings fought, the collision of world powers meant their Inner Worlds were also shing.


    With the current stability of Lin Yuan''s Inner World, a slight touch would cause the Inner World of other eighth-rank beings to copse.


    "My currentbat power, if fully unleashed, is at least not weaker than a ninth rank." Lin Yuan assessed himself.


    Even invincible eighth-rank beings could just run in front of ninth-rank beings, and Lin Yuan believed he couldpete with true ninth-rank beings.


    "Right."


    "There is also the imprint of the body''s divine power ''Enhancement''."


    Lin Yuan thought, and aplex imprint condensed.


    The divine power ''Enhancement'' was a power awakened by Lin Yuan''s body in the Spirit Realm. Although it wasn''t a passive power like blood rebirth, it could still be considered one of Lin Yuan''s trump cards.


    Once the divine power ''Enhancement'' was activated, Lin Yuan would gain a tenfold increase, which was terrifying for boostingbat power.


    The only drawback was that it could onlyst for ten breaths, and after activation, there would be a short period of weakness.


    Despite this, Lin Yuan valued this divine power greatly and spent nearly thirty yearsprehending it, using his body in the Main World as a temte to form the imprint of the divine power and bring it back.


    "The seventh transmigration, the world descended into was too low-level, otherwise, another divine power might have awakened." Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    The seventh transmigration was specifically done to deal with the Heart Demon Tribtion.


    "Currently, I have three divine body powers: Blood Rebirth, Mountain Moving, and Enhancement. I have yet toprehend the imprint of the Mountain Moving power."


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    The main reason was that he spent too little time in the Main World and had too many things toprehend, so he didn''t spend much time on analyzing the Mountain Moving power.


    "Next, it''s time for the Martial Dao evolution path." Lin Yuan''s mind returned to his body, and his expression became solemn.


    In the 920 years in the Spirit Realm, Lin Yuan had alreadypleted the eighth-rank chapter of the Martial Dao and even startedprehending the fusion of rules.


    "Eighth-rank chapter." Lin Yuan''s mind was slightly excited.


    In the Main World, the eighth rank was a crucial stage. Creating a stable eighth-rank evolution path was considered an important mark of bing a great evolution schr.


    "First, sort out the eighth-rank chapter and then upload it to the Wisdom Goddess."


    Lin Yuan thought silently. The main part of the eighth-rank chapter was already perfected by Lin Yuan, with only some minor adjustments left.


    It wouldn''t take much time.


    After half a day.


    Lin Yuan directly linked to the Wisdom Goddess.


    "Honorable Milky Way Star Lord, the Wisdom Goddess is honored to serve you."


    A dignified and cold voice came.


    "I want to upload the eighth-rank chapter of the Martial Dao." Lin Yuan said directly.


    As soon as he spoke.


    The Wisdom Goddess fell into a brief silence.


    Then immediately responded: "Milky Way Star Lord, you can upload it anytime."


    Momentster.


    Lin Yuan uploaded theplete eighth-rank chapter to the Wisdom Goddess.


    The eighth-rank chapter of the Martial Dao, Lin Yuan borrowed the essence of the creation force from the Spirit Realm.


    Martial Dao practitioners entering the eighth rank found it easier toprehend a certain cosmic power than other evolution paths.


    Of course, this ''easier'' just meant a slight reduction in difficulty. In fact, in Lin Yuan''s vision, most eighth-rank martial artists would still fail toprehend a cosmic power.


    Even so, Lin Yuan believed the eighth-rank chapter of the Martial Dao was very valuable because it involved the cosmic power.


    Among the many eighth-rank and higher evolution paths recorded by human civilization, how many touched on the cosmic power?


    In human civilization and other peak races'' descriptions of the cosmic power, it was generally considered unreplicable andpletely random.


    The moment Lin Yuan uploaded the eighth-rank chapter of the Martial Dao.


    On a mysterious far away from the Milky Way Star Lord.


    Numerous giant screens shed crazily, starting to deduce the potential and details of the eighth-rank chapter of the Martial Dao.


    "Detected ''eighth-rank chapter'' involving multiple unknown cosmic powers, potential depth greatly enhanced, overall evaluation of the Martial Dao evolution path rising."


    "Found ''eighth-rank chapter'' enhancing fundamental understanding of rules, overall evaluation of the Martial Dao evolution path rising."


    "Found¡­"


    "Triggered core human civilization protocol, contacting the Freedom Goddess and Justice Goddess."


    "Triggered core human civilization protocol, contacting Strongest One Xia Qin and Supreme Being Yu Die." (Strongest One can also be called Supreme Being)


    The three goddesses, regardless of the massiveputational cost, deduced the various extensions of the eighth-rank chapter of the Martial Dao again and again.


    "I wonder how the three goddesses will evaluate the eighth-rank chapter?"


    On the Milky Way Main Star, Lin Yuan had some anticipation.


    He had invested a lot of effort to develop the eighth-rank chapter.


    Outside the Milky Way Main Star.


    Deep inyers of space.


    Five invincible eighth-rank beings, led by the Dark Lin n''s Sara, were still patiently waiting.


    They were like cunning hunters lurking in the dark, waiting for their prey to appear.

    The five invincible eighth-rank beings were very patient.


    Their goal was not to kill the Milky Way Star Lord''s avatar.


    Instead, they aimed to make the Milky Way Star Lordpletely fall, beyond the possibility of resurrection even by a Strongest One.


    If it were just about killing the avatar, they could have attacked outside the Milky Way Main Star more than ten years ago.


    Five invincible eighth-rank beings could simultaneously lock the space. Even with space-shifting techniques, the Milky Way Star Lord would be trapped within the.


    Then, if the five of them joined forces to attack the Milky Way Main Star, even with a B-grade modifiedary defense system, it could only hold out for a few breaths.


    At that point, the Milky Way Star Lord would have no way to escape.


    The five invincible eighth-rank beingsunching an assassination against a peak eighth-rank Milky Way Star Lord was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito. If not for the importance given by the Insect Race''s emissary, the Dark Lin n''s Sara and the other invincible eighth-rank beings wouldn''t even bother to join forces.


    No matter how talented the Milky Way Star Lord was, he was just at the beginning of the eighth rank. Even if he had thebat power of a peak eighth-rank, what did it matter?To an invincible eighth-rank being who had mastered a cosmic power, a peak eighth-rank was just a slightlyrger ant, not much different from a new eighth-rank.


    Although this ant might grow into a giant in the future, for now, it was still just an ant.


    "When we kill the Milky Way Star Lord, we should avoid appearing on the battlefield andy low. The human civilization''s retaliation won''t be easy to handle."


    Dark Lin n''s Sara looked at the other four invincible eighth-rank beings and said in a low voice.


    Over the past ten years, besides monitoring the movements of the Milky Way Main Star, they asionally interacted with each other and developed some camaraderie.


    "Of course."


    "The humans are crazy. If we kill their top genius, even if we don''t openly break the rules, they will secretly retaliate."


    Another invincible eighth-rank being immediately responded.


    Normally, the battles between the peak alliances of the main world were limited to below the ninth rank.


    Except forrge-scale alien battlefields where ninth-rank and abovebatants were allowed, medium-sized alien battlefields rarely saw ninth-rank beings.


    This was an unspoken rule among the peak alliances to keep the intensity of warfare at a manageable level.


    Without this unspoken rule, the conflicts among the peak alliances would be chaotic, with even Strongest Ones frequently getting involved.


    This would be disastrous for all the peak alliances.


    Of course, an unspoken rule is still just that. Even if these five invincible eighth-rank alien beings didn''t break it, if theypletely killed the Milky Way Star Lord, the human civilization would still be furious.


    Their retaliation would likely be targeted at the five of them or their respective races on alien battlefields, even increasing the intensity of the war against the Insect Race.


    While the Insect Race could withstand the malicious intent of the human civilization alliance, the races behind these five invincible eighth-rank beings would suffer heavy losses, possibly even face extinction.


    Tens of thousand years ago, when the Red Kun Star Lord''s youngest disciple died, the Red Kun Star Lord gathered friends and stormed several medium-sized alien battlefields, almost wiping them out.


    The Red Kun Star Lord''s youngest disciple had high potential, but he couldn''tpare to the Milky Way Star Lord. Even so, it caused such a massive impact.


    Imagine the chaos if the Milky Way Star Lord were to diepletely.


    Nevertheless, the Insect Race promised significant rewards to these five invincible eighth-rank beings, enough for them to take the risk.


    Virtual World.


    In a mysterious space, nine grand thrones stood.


    Suddenly, three of the nine thrones had towering figures appearing on them.


    One of these towering figures was the Strongest One Xia Qin.


    "Wisdom Goddess." Xia Qin nced around, "and Freedom Goddess, Justice Goddess."


    The three goddesses were the ultimate intelligences of human civilization, their status equal to the nine Strongest Ones.


    "Strongest One Xia Qin, Strongest One Yu Die, and Strongest One Gu Li¡­" The solemn, cold voice of the Wisdom Goddess echoed in the mysterious space.


    Human civilization had nine Strongest Ones, each overseeing different areas. When the three goddesses contacted the Strongest Ones, two or three responding was typical.


    "Our human civilization has developed another eighth-rank evolution path. We need you to confirm it." The Wisdom Goddess continued.


    "Oh?"


    "A brand new eighth-rank evolution path?" Xia Qin raised an eyebrow.


    Creating an eighth-rank evolution path was entirely different from producing an eighth-rank evolver.


    Thetter was not noteworthy, but the former¡ªthe eighth-rank evolution path¡ªmeant a continuous source of eighth-rank evolvers.


    Its importance could be considered foundational for the race.


    Especially if it warranted the attention of the three goddesses and a special notification to the Strongest Ones, it had to be extraordinary, possibly having potential for further advancement.


    "Let me see."


    Xia Qin received the eighth-rank chapter of Martial Dao from the Wisdom Goddess.


    "Is it that young one?" Xia Qin was slightly surprised. He had a favorable impression of Lin Yuan, having personally met him and bestowed upon him the Divine Sealing Bead.


    In Xia Qin''s view, Lin Yuan was not only an eighth-rank evolver under a hundred years old but also the creator of the highly potential Martial Dao evolution path.


    His talent and qualifications were enough to rank in the top twenty, even top ten, in human history.


    "He created the eighth-rank chapter so quickly?" Xia Qin found it hard to believe. Creating the eighth-rank chapter meant Lin Yuan had fully entered the eighth rank.


    But how long had it been since Lin Yuan reached the eighth rank? The difficulty of creating the eighth-rank chapter was deeply understood by Xia Qin.


    Reaching the peak of the eighth rank in such a short time was hard enough, let alone creating the eighth-rank chapter from scratch.


    Xia Qin had witnessed countless geniuses in the universe. When he first met Lin Yuan and ranked his talent in the top ten or twenty in human history, he didn''t feel much emotional fluctuation.


    While the top ten or twenty in human history were exceptionally talented, without bing a Strongest One, they would eventually fade into history.


    However, Lin Yuan creating the eighth-rank chapter so quickly genuinely astonished Xia Qin.


    It was incredibly fast.


    But the three goddesses wouldn''t lie. If Lin Yuan''s eighth-rank chapter didn''t meet the standards, it would have been rejected outright.


    The fact they notified the Strongest Ones for confirmation meant the three goddesses saw no issue with the eighth-rank chapter.


    "Let me take a look." Xia Qin immediately reviewed the content of the Martial Dao eighth-rank chapter.


    At their level, reading through the eighth-rank chapter was effortless. In no time, the three Strongest Ones finished reviewing it.


    "This eighth-rank chapter¡­" Xia Qin fell into thought. Even at his level, he could see the potential of the Martial Dao eighth-rank chapter.


    Epassing myriad paths, it included all kinds of power routes. Xia Qin even noticed that the Martial Dao evolution system''s eighth-rank chapter could lead to various cosmic powers.


    "Have you confirmed the identity of the creator of this evolution path? Is he not an alien pawn?" Gu Li, another Strongest One, directly asked the Wisdom Goddess after reviewing the chapter.


    He recognized the potential of the Martial Dao evolution system and needed to ensure its creator was human.


    Otherwise, human civilization would go all out to assassinate him.


    "He is human."


    "Confirmed personally by Strongest One Xia Qin."


    The Wisdom Goddess responded.


    "Confirmed by Xia Qin¡­" Gu Li nodded slightly, no longer questioning, nor giving any additionalments.


    However, by directly asking the Wisdom Goddess to confirm the creator''s identity, it showed the importance this Strongest One ced on it.


    Non-human? Kill.


    Human? Good.


    "Xia Qin, you have a good eye." Strongest One Yu Die, a graceful woman, nced at Xia Qin.


    Among the nine Strongest Ones of human civilization, Yu Die was very unique. She cultivated the Illusory Dream evolution path and was not adept at directbat.


    But her importance to human civilization was not less than any other Strongest One because the virtual world that enveloped human civilization''s territory was born from her ''authority.''


    "Hehe." Xia Qin smiled slightly.


    Not long ago, he had seen Lin Yuan, and after giving him the Divine Sealing Bead, he still felt insecure and asked Yu Die to keep an eye on Lin Yuan.


    As the source of the virtual world, Yu Die''s perception range covered the entire virtual worldwork.


    Having Yu Die watch over Lin Yuan virtually eliminated the chance of aliens sending ninth-rank or higher beings to assassinate him.


    Of course, Yu Die would only keep an eye on Lin Yuan, not act as a ''babysitter.''


    Unless Lin Yuan faced aplete demise, with all avatars and the main body dead and beyond resurrection, Yu Die would not intervene.


    As for other dangers?


    Yu Die believed that facing moderate danger and life-and-death crises was beneficial.


    "Strongest Ones Xia Qin, Yu Die, and Gu Li, since none of you have objections, the evaluation of this eighth-rank chapter is determined to be worth 22 million merit points. Do you agree?"


    The Wisdom Goddess spoke again.


    "22 million merit points?"


    Xia Qin remained calm.


    Normally, eighth-rank chapters of evolution paths were worth 8 million to 10 million merit points.


    Exceptionally good eighth-rank chapters might reach 15 to 18 million merit points.


    Exceeding 22 million merit points meant not just excellence but also unique special qualities.


    "I agree."


    Xia Qin nodded.


    "I agree."


    "I also agree."


    Yu Die and Gu Li also nodded in agreement.


    The various cosmic powers possibilities in the Martial Dao eighth-rank chapter fully justified its value.


    After all, mastering even one cosmic power was extremely beneficial for advancing to the ninth rank.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    Lin Yuan connected his consciousness to the virtual world, entering the store interface to select suitable energy crystals.


    With over 20 million miles of the Inner World needing expansion, Lin Yuan urgently required arge amount of energy to support the virtual world.


    As for slowly absorbing energy from the universe? That would be too inefficient, and absorbingrge amounts of energy from the universe would cause irreparable damage to the Milky Way Main Star.


    "This will do."


    Lin Yuan finally made a choice.


    Taiwei Pure Crystals.


    Core energy from the Taiwei Secret Realm.


    Though not as pure as the Red Spirit Liquid from the Red Kun Lineage.


    But for expanding the Inner World, it was more than sufficient.


    "80,000 units of universe crystals." Lin Yuan estimated the cost to expand the Inner World to 37.5 million miles in diameter and felt his heart bleed.


    He had used thunderous means to scour special lives and alien loners in the Milky Way Star Domain, amassing treasures worth more than 100,000 units of universe crystals.


    Now, before he could even warm them up, he had to spend a significant portion.


    "No matter, as long as I be stronger, I can easily kill some alien strong beings and get it all back. 80,000 units of universe crystals? Just a small portion of an invincible eighth-rank being''s worth."


    Lin Yuan consoled himself while painfully spending the universe crystals.


    "They will arrive soon?"


    Lin Yuan checked the delivery time. The Taiwei Pure Crystals worth 80,000 units of universe crystals would arrive at the Milky Way Main Star in about half a month.


    "Next, I''ll let all the creation forces in the Inner World transform into the cosmic power." Lin Yuan began to lift the istion of the Inner World from the outside world.


    In an instant.


    Dozens of creation forces began to adapt to the main world, especially that trace of primordial force, whose vibrations almost shook the ten million miles of the Inner World.


    "Once the Inner World expands to 37.5 million miles, I''ll start absorbing the liquid from the mysterious gourd again to restore it to nearly 100 million miles."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    With the continuous absorption of the mysterious gourd liquid in the Spirit Realm, enhancing the ''Blood Rebirth'' divine power of his body.


    Next, reabsorbing it wouldn''t take long, just over ten days to recover.


    Half a dayter.


    The voice of the Wisdom Goddess suddenly came.


    "Honorable Milky Way Star Lord, the evaluation of your uploaded eighth-rank chapter isplete."


    "Complete?" Lin Yuan''s eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "How many merit points is it worth?"


    "Honorable Milky Way Star Lord, your eighth-rank chapter is valued at 22 million merit points."


    The Wisdom Goddess''s tone was solemn and cold.


    "22 million merit points." Lin Yuan took a deep breath.


    He remembered the seventh-rank chapter was valued at only 3 million merit points.


    Now, the eighth-rank chapter was worth 22 million merit points, an increase of eight to nine times.


    "The three goddesses gave a high evaluation of the eighth-rank chapter?" Lin Yuan thought silently, "Or perhaps it''s not just the three goddesses?"


    This time, the evaluation by the three goddesses took much longer than before.


    "22 million merit points." A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face. This was equivalent to the merit points earned bypletely killing more than twenty eighth-rank beings.


    Not just killing an avatar or the like.


    On the alien battlefield, killing over twenty eighth-rank aliens was as difficult as climbing to the sky.


    This wasn''t a matter of strength; once an evolver killed three or four eighth-rank aliens, they would attract the attention of all alien strong beings. After that, those eighth-rank aliens would run upon seeing you.


    A human evolver who killed over ten eighth-rank aliens would be met with same-level or even invincible eighth-rank opponents wherever they went.


    "Right."


    "Check the ranking."


    Lin Yuan thought and looked at thetest ranking of the Martial Dao evolution path.

 Chapter 273

    Chapter 273


    At the moment when the three goddessespleted their evaluation of the Martial Dao''s Eighth Rank chapter.


    The real-time ranking of the Martial Dao evolution paths would be ''updated''.


    Of course, only Lin Yuan could view this update. As for outsiders?


    They would have to wait until midnight when all the evolution rankings updated simultaneously.


    "Martial Dao Evolution Path ranks first in the Red Kun Star Domain," Lin Yuan nced at the ranking on the Red Kun evolution list without any surprise.


    When the Martial Dao Evolution Path was still at the seventh rank, it already surpassed two eighth-rank evolution paths and was second on the Red Kun evolution list.


    Now that the Eighth Rank chapter had been uploaded, the evaluation had greatly improved, making it the number one on the Red Kun evolution list, which was only natural.


    "Hmm? It''s also ranked first on the Annan evolution list?" Lin Yuan looked at the higher-level ranking.


    The Annan evolution list is the evolution list of the Annan Star Alliance, which includes the top 100 strongest evolution paths within a star alliance.The Red Kun Star Domain belongs to the Annan Star Alliance, which epasses hundreds or even thousands of star domains.


    Lin Yuan remembered that when the Martial Dao Evolution Path was at the seventh rank, its ranking on the Annan evolution list was exactly the hundredth.


    The top 100 evolution paths recorded by the Annan Star Alliance included five ninth-rank evolution paths.


    Even so, the Martial Dao Evolution Path still managed to be the top of the evolution list, showing the importance ced by the three goddesses.


    "This exposure will definitely cause a surge in evolvers of the Martial Dao Evolution Path," Lin Yuan felt quite pleased.


    The evolution lists of various star domains and star alliances not only recognized the evolution paths listed but also provided significant exposure.


    In any public virtual world, the central za area was always the core location.


    And the evolution list would be at the very center of the central za area.


    As long as one is an evolver, the first time they enter the virtual world, they would almost be half-forced to view the evolution paths on the evolution list.


    "Let''s see the Southern Star District evolution list. Hmm, didn''t make it to the top 100," Lin Yuan continued to look up and slightly shook his head.


    The Southern Star District is one of the five major star districts of human civilization.


    In addition to the Southern Star District, there are also the Eastern Star District, Western Star District, Northern Star District, and Central Star District.


    Currently, the territory of human civilization is basicallyposed of these five major star districts.


    Even the smallest Central Star District includes nearly 100,000 star alliances.


    As for the other four star districts, they are constantly expanding, with thergest one already having over 200,000 star alliances.


    The Milky Way Star Domain, where Lin Yuan is currently located, along with the previous Red Kun Star Domain and Annan Star Alliance, all belong to the Southern Star District.


    The Southern Star District currently has 180,000 star alliances, and its star district-level evolution list is extremelypetitive. At least the current Martial Dao Evolution Path cannot enter the top 100.


    "That''s right. No matter how great the potential of the Martial Dao Evolution Path is, it''s still just an eighth-rank evolution path. Surpassing some ninth-rank evolution paths is already impressive, how could itpare to the evolution paths on the star district-level evolution list?"


    Lin Yuan understood well.


    Ranking on the list is not determined by potential alone. Moreover, any evolution path that can make it to the star district-level evolution list has great potential.


    Lin Yuan had never underestimated the geniuses in human civilization history. Many geniuses did not grow to the end due to various idents, but that does not mean their path was wrong.


    "By the way."


    "Wisdom Goddess."


    "Am I now an Advanced Evolution Schr?"


    Lin Yuan suddenly asked. Bing an Advanced Evolution Schr has many restrictive conditions, the hardest of which is to develop a stable, entirely new eighth-rank evolution path.


    And Lin Yuan had already achieved this.


    "Currently determining the qualification of the Milky Way Star Lord. Congrattions, Milky Way Star Lord, on bing a new Advanced Evolution Schr of human civilization."


    The solemn and cold voice of the Wisdom Goddess sounded.


    At the same time.


    Emails from the Central Star Domain flooded Lin Yuan''s mailbox.


    The Central Star Domain is the core star domain of the Central Star District of human civilization, belonging to the hearnd of human civilization, where countless important resources are gathered.


    Any citizen able to reside in the Central Star Domain for long periods is someone of great background and importance.


    Many eighth-rank evolvers aspire to be governors on an ordinary in the Central Star Domain.


    But it is often difficult to achieve, as even the most ordinary living in the Central Star Domain holds immense value.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan nced at the numerous emails.


    Simr to the promotion of citizen levels, these emails mostly exined the status and privileges of being an Advanced Evolution Schr.


    Firstly, every Advanced Evolution Schr automatically owns a research in the Central Star Domain.


    This research belongs entirely to the Advanced Evolution Schr for developing their own results.


    It''s known that bing a research means its value far exceeds that of an ordinary living, and even some primarys of star systems.


    Just this research is invaluable, worth more than hundreds of thousands of universe crystals.


    Some ninth-rank evolvers do not have the right to own a research.


    Here, it''s not about universe crystals but about rights. In the Central Star Domain, bing a lord is not a matter of universe crystals.


    "And the ability to ess numerous ssified materials collected by human civilization, as well as joining the Academy of Sciences and the Evolution Institute."


    Lin Yuan had a good understanding of the status of an Advanced Evolution Schr.


    To sum it up, they are treasures.


    Treasures of the Human Alliance.


    For the entire human civilization, the loss of a whole star domain''s ordinary citizens does notpare to the loss of one Advanced Evolution Schr.


    "Respected Schr Lin Yuan, with your current status, you can apply to leave the Milky Way Star Domain and move to the safer interior of human territory."


    The Wisdom Goddess suggested.


    "Leave now?" Lin Yuan pondered.


    He had already invested a lot in the Milky Way Star Domain, including the B-level modification worth ten thousand universe crystals.


    "Forget it."


    Lin Yuan refused.


    The Wisdom Goddess suggested moving to the interior of human territory out of concern for his safety.


    But safety concerns?


    Before his eighth transmigration, Lin Yuan indeed had such concerns.


    But now?


    Havingprehended the power of dozens of cosmic powers, even though his internal world had not fully recovered, he could still crush those invincible at the eighth rank.


    Even without recovering all his strength, Lin Yuan could exchange blows with a ninth-rank expert.


    There was no safety issue at all.


    It''s the aliens who should be worried.


    "Respected Schr Lin Yuan, as long as your schr status is not exposed, you can stay in the Milky Way Star Domain. But if your schr status is revealed, please move to the interior of human territory."


    The Wisdom Goddess replied after a moment of silence.


    Given Lin Yuan''s demonstrated talent and aptitude, he is considered a top-level prodigy of human civilization. Even if he attracts the attention of aliens, they would not tantly attack.


    But if his status as an Advanced Evolution Schr is exposed, the aliens might break their tacit agreement.


    A top-level prodigy of human civilization alone might not attract peak ns'' full efforts, and an Advanced Evolution Schr alone might not either. But thebination of both...


    "Understood."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    In the virtual world of the Red Kun Star Domain.


    Central za Area. Many evolvers were chatting softly.


    "It''s been almost twenty years, and the Martial Dao Evolution Path still hasn''t released the Eighth Rank chapter?"


    An evolver spoke. The Martial Dao Evolution Path still held the second rank on the Red Kun evolution list, showing no signs of being shaken.


    "Eighth Rank chapter?"


    "Is the Eighth Rank chapter so easy to produce?"


    A green-eyed evolver sneered. Even for high-ranking Advanced Evolution Schrs, developing aplete eighth-rank evolution path is not easy.


    Otherwise, why are there so few eighth-rank evolution paths in human civilization?


    Moreover, the Eighth Rank chapter of the Martial Dao Evolution Path is far from ordinary.


    Given the potential ranking disyed by the Martial Dao Evolution Path, developing an Eighth Rank chapter matching it is far more difficult than other Eighth Rank chapters.


    "I feel that even if the founder of Martial Dao can develop the Eighth Rank chapter, it would take hundreds or even thousands of years, or more."


    The green-eyed evolver kept a thought to himself, which was that it might never be possible to develop the Eighth Rank chapter of the Martial Dao.


    "I don''t care."


    "The founder of Martial Dao will definitely develop the Eighth Rank chapter."


    Many of Lin Yuan''s ''fans'' immediately expressed their views.


    The Martial Dao Evolution Path was so popr that it naturally umted arge number of enthusiasts, making Lin Yuan, the founder, have many ''fans'' too.


    "Yes, yes, yes."


    The green-eyed evolver didn''t bother to argue.


    This wasn''t just his opinion, but the consensus among many high-rank evolvers and high-level citizens.


    It was easy for the founder of Martial Dao to develop stages one to seven, but developing the Eighth Rank chapter to match the previous stages was just hopeful thinking.


    Suddenly¡ª¡ª


    It was midnight.


    The Red Kun evolution list began to ''refresh''.


    After a few breaths.


    In the central za area, all the evolvers looked up at the evolution list.


    The green-eyed evolver also looked. When he saw the name at the top of the list, he was stunned.


    "The Martial Dao Evolution Path is first?" The green-eyed evolver''s heart trembled. Although the ranking only advanced by one ce.


    But that was the top.


    And it could mean something even more terrifying.


    That is, the Martial Dao Evolution Path had updated, uploading the Eighth Rank chapter.


    Although the Martial Dao Evolution Path had previously experienced a significant rise in ranking without uploading a new chapter, that possibility was low.


    Thinking of this, the green-eyed evolver immediately opened the detailed page of the Martial Dao Evolution Path and saw the words ''Eighth Rank chapter'' after the seventh rank chapter.


    "Really developed the Eighth Rank chapter?"


    The green-eyed evolver felt like he was dreaming. He witnessed the birth of an eighth-rank evolution path?


    And it was such a monstrous evolution path as the Martial Dao Evolution Path?


    "Check the Annan Star Alliance''s evolution list ranking." The Red Kun Star Domain evolution list alone could not indicate whether the Eighth Rank chapter of the Martial Dao matched the previous stages.


    After all, the Martial Dao Evolution Path with just the seventh rank was already near the limit of the Red Kun evolution list.


    Even if the Eighth Rank chapter of the Martial Dao Evolution Path only improved a bit, it could still top the Red Kun evolution list.


    This wasn''t the credit of the Eighth Rank chapter of the Martial Dao but because the previous ranks one to seven were too unrivaled.


    "Annan Star Alliance evolution list," the green-eyed evolver was about to look up from the bottom.


    He remembered that the Martial Dao Evolution Path was ranked hundredth on the Annan Star Alliance evolution list previously.


    Even if it improved, it likely wouldn''t reach the top fifty.


    However.


    When the green-eyed evolver nced from the top down.


    He was stunned.


    Because the current first name on the Annan Star Alliance evolution list was...


    "The Martial Dao Evolution Path topped the Annan evolution list?"


    The green-eyed evolver swallowed hard, his mind in a whirl.


    Milky Way Star Domain.


    A fleet was rapidly traversing a wormhole.


    "This mission''s target is the main star of the Milky Way Star Domain."


    Captain Nn was responsible for adjusting the fleet''s position to ensure the correct direction.


    "Captain, this many Taiwei Pure Crystals almost emptied our group''s inventory. Was it bought by the Milky Way Star Lord?"


    The vice-captain beside him asked curiously.


    A total of eighty thousand universe crystals worth of Taiwei Pure Crystals, even with space equipment, almost filled half the fleet.


    Taiwei Pure Crystals contain pure energy, but their unit price is not high. Eighty thousand universe crystals worth of Taiwei Pure Crystals, when piled together, would be asrge as hundreds ofs.


    "Not sure."


    Captain Nn remained expressionless.


    The fleet members were specting that the buyer was the Milky Way Star Lord because who else on the Milky Way main star could afford so many Taiwei Pure Crystals with such background and wealth?


    Eighty thousand universe crystals... such vast wealth, more than many eighth-rank evolvers could earn in a lifetime.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord is such a being. Is it for you to discuss what he buys?"


    Captain Nn nced at the vice-captain, warning, "Our group''s most important task now is to deliver these Taiwei Pure Crystals to the Milky Way main star. As for whom to deliver them to, it''s not your concern."


    "Yes, yes."


    The vice-captain responded immediately, feeling a bit scared.


    Everything in the fleet was monitored by the Wisdom Goddess. If they rashly discussed the Milky Way Star Lord and it was recorded by the goddess, they would be in serious trouble.


    "We''ve arrived."


    Captain Nn performed the final wormhole traversal, arriving outside the Milky Way main star.


    "The Taiwei Pure Crystals have arrived?"


    Lin Yuan looked up, seeing the fleet outside the main star.


    "Coming one by one is too slow, I''ll go get them directly."


    Lin Yuan''s figure disappeared and reappeared outside the Milky Way main star.


    "Milky Way Star Lord."


    Captain Nn knew who had purchased the Taiwei Pure Crystals and greeted Lin Yuan respectfully.


    As Lin Yuan appeared outside the Milky Way main star.


    Five eighth-rank invincibles hidden deep within spaceyers brightened their eyes.


    They had been lurking for over a decade, waiting for this moment, for the Milky Way Star Lord to leave the main star, to lose its protection.


    Without the main star''s defense system, the Milky Way Star Lord, an eighth-rank evolver, appeared as harmless as a little white rabbit in their eyes.


    "Our chance hase."


    "Attack immediately!"


    Leading the Dark Lin n, Sara was excited, taking the initiative to leave the spaceyer.


    The other four eighth-rank invincibles did the same, charging eagerly towards Lin Yuan.

    ...


    The moment when five Eighth Rank Invincible aliens emerged from the depths of the spatialyers.


    Centered around them, the surrounding space began to solidify,


    like a flowing river suddenly freezing, and the creatures in the river seemed to be trapped in amber.


    To capture Lin Yuan alive, the first thing to do was to prevent him from escaping.And in this regard, blocking the space was the most suitable. Once the surrounding void was sealed, all teleportation methods would be unusable.


    With the abilities of the five Eighth Rank Invincibles and their understanding of spatial rules, if Lin Yuan wanted to break their spatial blockade...


    There were only two possibilities: one was toprehend theplete spatial rules and leave with absolute control over them.


    The second was to possess power far beyond thebined force of the five of them, breaking the blockade with sheer strength. Even space could be shattered by absolute power.


    "It worked."


    The Dark Lin n''s Sara felt relieved.


    Before they acted, Lin Yuan''s only chance of survival was to escape before the space was sealed.


    As the disciple of Red Kun Star Lord, who had a deep understanding of spatial rules, Lin Yuan might have been granted some instantaneous teleportation method to send him away in advance.


    But now?


    The spatial blockade had already formed, and Lin Yuan had not left. Sara of the Dark Lin n felt confident.


    Under thebined blockade of the five Eighth Rank Invincibles, even the Red Kun Star Lord would be suppressed if he didn''t escape in advance.


    "Quicksand."


    Sara''s gaze turned icy.


    A misty yellow sand began to gather, sweeping in from all directions, rapidly umting, and its power kept soaring.


    The power of Quicksand, which Sara of the Dark Lin n mastered, was a kind of cosmic power. This cosmic power was neither an offensive nor defensive type.


    Instead, it was a domain-like cosmic power, possessing endless suppression and control abilities.


    This time, the five Eighth Rank Invincibles were led by him because of this cosmic power.


    The Insect Race wanted to kill the Milky Way Star Lord with the poison of memory, and the premise was to suppress and control the opponent.


    The cosmic power that Sara of the Dark Lin n mastered was very suitable for this. With the power of Quicksand, he could dominate the battlefield. The other four Eighth Rank Invincibles took action, essentially locking down any resistance from the Milky Way Star Lord.


    Of course, the resistance referred to was thebat power the Milky Way Star Lord had previously disyed.


    The moment the power of Quicksand swept over, the other four Eighth Rank Invincibles also acted simultaneously.


    The cosmic power mastered by the Eighth Rank Invincibles trembled, and they also held back their strength. Their goal was to control the Milky Way Star Lord.


    Not to kill him directly.


    Outside the Milky Way Star.


    Captain Nn was about to greet Lin Yuan. To say the least, the Milky Way Star Lord had once bought goods worth 80,000 universe crystals from them, making him their most esteemed guest.


    Suddenly.


    The space solidified.


    Captain Nn''s expression changed drastically. Before he could react, the heavy power of Quicksand enveloped him.


    Captain Nn was also a Eighth Rank Evolver, close to the peak of Eighth Rank, but at this moment, he couldn''t even move. He could only sense four unparalleled auras descending.


    "Four Eighth Rank Invincibles, no, five Eighth Rank Invincibles." Captain Nn''s scalp tingled. It was rare to see even one Eighth Rank Invincible on a normal day.


    Now there were directly five.


    And the killing intent from these five Eighth Rank Invincibles was undisguised. Even though it wasn''t directed at him, Captain Nn felt his soul trembling.


    "Milky Way Star Lord!"


    Captain Nn looked towards Lin Yuan, realizing that the five Eighth Rank Invincibles were targeting the Milky Way Star Lord. Apart from the Milky Way Star Lord, who else could be worth the joint effort of five Eighth Rank Invincibles?


    "So there were five bugs hiding outside?"


    Lin Yuan nced at the five Eighth Rank Invincibles including Sara of the Dark Lin n.


    Before Lin Yuan walked out of the Milky Way Star, these five Eighth Rank Invincibles had been hidden in the deepyers of space, extremely secretive. Unless checked deliberately, it was hard to discover them.


    After all, Lin Yuan was also at Eighth Rank now, and considered to be in the same realm as Eighth Rank Invincibles.


    Buzz.


    The next moment.


    Centered on Lin Yuan, a force of ck and white Yin Yang spread out in all directions.


    Whenever the ck and white Yin Yang force spread, the solidified space returned to normal, and the five types of cosmic power, including the power of Quicksand, were all shattered. The four Eighth Rank Invincibles who charged forward began to retreat, their eyes showing fear as they looked at Lin Yuan.


    "This power..." Sara of the Dark Lin n''s face was heavy, "Cosmic power, it''s definitely cosmic power. Milky Way Star Lord, you''veprehended cosmic power!!"


    Sara of the Dark Lin n found it hard to believe.


    More than twenty years ago, Lin Yuan had just entered Eighth Rank, and now he hadprehended some cosmic power, bing an Invincible at Eighth Rank?


    What kind of monster was this?


    Although Lin Yuan had recently entered Eighth Rank and had shown peak Eighth Rankbat power while cleansing the Milky Way Star Domain, the peak of Eighth Rank and Eighth Rank Invincibles werepletely different concepts.


    Moreover¡ª¡ª


    Sara of the Dark Lin n could sense that the cosmic powerprehended by the Milky Way Star Lord was definitely not simple. It belonged to the high-level cosmic power tier, even much stronger than normal high-level cosmic powers.


    Otherwise, it would be impossible to easily crush thebined efforts of the five Eighth Rank Invincibles.


    The moment the five Eighth Rank Invincible aliens appeared, billions of miles away from the Milky Way Star.


    A white-robed bald man appeared, looking towards the Milky Way Star, "Those aliens have indeed made a move."


    This white-robed bald man was the White Light Star Lord, a friend of the Red Kun Star Lord. Not long ago, he had traded the cosmic treasure ''Heart of Thunder'' with Lin Yuan.


    The White Light Star Lord was a veteran peak Eighth Rank, with aprehension of spatial rules not inferior to the Red Kun Star Lord.


    Thus, the White Light Star Lord had strong survival abilities. The deeper one''s understanding of spatial rules, the easier it was to cross billions of miles in a step, and also hide inyers of space, essentially standing in an invincible position.


    Therefore, while the White Light Star Lord''sbat power was notparable to Eighth Rank Invincibles, in terms of escape methods, even Eighth Rank Invincibles couldn''t match him.


    The most powerful aspect of Eighth Rank Invincibles was their cosmic power, but cosmic power was just one type of power. Unless it was a cosmic power specialized in escape, it was not better than the White Light Star Lord.


    After trading the Heart of Thunder with Lin Yuan, the White Light Star Lord mentioned it to the Red Kun Star Lord, who then requested him to stay outside the Milky Way Star for a while to protect Lin Yuan''s safety.


    "Five Eighth Rank Invincibles?"


    The White Light Star Lord''s expression changed slightly. If it were just one or two Eighth Rank Invincibles assassinating Lin Yuan, he could intervene to save him, as long as Lin Yuan could hold on for a moment.


    But five Eighth Rank Invincibles...


    Even if these five Eighth Rank Invincibles had a lesser understanding of spatial rules than he did, quantity leads to qualitative change. His task was not to escape, but to save Lin Yuan and then escape.


    "It seems I have to use that treasure." The White Light Star Lord raised his right hand, and a cluster of white mes began to burn.


    As the pinnacle of human civilization, humans had countless treasures. As a veteran peak Eighth Rank, the White Light Star Lord naturally had many trump cards.


    The white me burning in his hand was a one-time treasure. Once activated, it would unleash basic power close to the ninth rank.


    Enough to temporarily repel the five Eighth Rank Invincibles.


    However, the next moment.


    With just a thought, Lin Yuan shattered thebined killing move of the five Eighth Rank Invincibles and easily repelled four of them, leaving the White Light Star Lord somewhat stunned.


    What just happened?


    Wasn''t the Milky Way Star Lord in a desperate situation?


    Before he even made a move to rescue him, how had the situation changed?


    "Eighth Rank Invincible..."


    Outside the Milky Way Star, having confirmed that Lin Yuan hadprehended some kind of cosmic power, Sara of the Dark Lin n decided to leave immediately.


    Not to mention that Lin Yuan''sprehended cosmic power was beyond normal high-level cosmic power, even if it were just ordinary cosmic power, their n had already failed.


    Even ordinary cosmic power was still cosmic power. The Milky Way Star Lord, mastering such power, was now on the same level as them, Eighth Rank Invincibles.


    The five of them could certainly suppress one Eighth Rank Invincible by joining forces, but it was just suppression. Topletely strip a Eighth Rank Invincible of any resistance and inject them with ''memory poison'' was a dream.


    Therefore, dragging it out any longer would be a waste of time. If other powerful figures of human civilization arrived, leaving woulde at a cost.


    "Did I allow you to leave?"


    Lin Yuan stood under the starry sky, looking at the five retreating Eighth Rank Invincibles.


    At the same time.


    A misty ck and white Yin Yang Tai Chi force silently spread and extended.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, do you intend to keep us?" Sara of the Dark Lin n was slightly taken aback, finding it absurd.


    The Milky Way Star Lord''sprehension of cosmic power exceeded his expectations, but at most, it just meant the mission failed, and she and the other four Eighth Rank Invincible aliens could retreat unharmed.


    They were all Eighth Rank Invincibles. Even if the Milky Way Star Lord''s cosmic power was stronger, it was almost impossible to keep them.


    While there were indeed differences in strength among Eighth Rank Invincibles, the gap wasn''t thatrge. One side couldn''t evenpletely defeat the other, let alone kill or capture them.


    If not for fearing the arrival of other powerful figures of human civilization, Sara would have continued to probe the Milky Way Star Lord with the other four Eighth Rank Invincibles.


    "Forget it."


    "He''s probably just saying it."


    "No need to argue with the Milky Way Star Lord."


    Sara''s thoughts settled, and she began to leave the Milky Way Star Domain faster.


    Swish.


    Before they had escaped far, Sara felt the ck and white Yin Yang Tai Chi force filling all directions.


    "The cosmic power mastered by the Milky Way Star Lord?"


    Sara immediately activated the power of Quicksand to resist.


    Clearly.


    The Milky Way Star Lord had pursued them.


    However, Sara wasn''t afraid. Even if she was not as strong as the Milky Way Star Lord, she would at most be suppressed and couldn''t be stopped from escaping.


    However.


    Not long after.


    In Sara''s perception, besides the ck and white Yin Yang Tai Chi force, a new force emerged.


    This force was infinite and boundless.


    "Anothercosmic power? And it''s also a high-level cosmic power?"


    Sara was shocked, a sense of crisis rising in him heart.


    "This Milky Way Star Lord has mastered two types of cosmic power, and both are high-level cosmic powers?" Sara felt a deep fear.


    The next moment.


    An aura of annihtion swept over, and Sara was horrified.


    "A third high-level cosmic power?"


    "This Milky Way Star Lord..."


    Fear shed in Sara''s eyes, and him body began to dissolve, him consciousness falling into darkness.


    Lin Yuan stood where Sara''s body dissolved, catching him space ring and incorporating it into his inner world.


    With the Tai Chi force, the boundless force, and the annihtion force¡ªthree types of high-level cosmic powers that couldplement andpensate for each other, and with the addition of the world force extending from his inner world covering millions of miles...


    Lin Yuan''sbat power had already opened a considerable gap with normal Eighth Rank Invincibles. Killing Sara was not difficult.


    And this was Lin Yuan holding back, merely showing three types of cosmic power, while dozens of other cosmic powers remained unused, not to mention the primordial power surpassing high-level cosmic powers.


    In a certain star domain deep in the universe.


    The true body of Sara of the Dark Lin n suddenly opened his eyes.


    "That Milky Way Star Lord?!"


    Sara''s expression was filled with terror. As a Eighth Rank Invincible, she naturally had clones, and the one wandering outside was one of them.


    After all, even Eighth Rank Invincibles weren''t absolutely safe. Encountering some powerful ninth rank experts, even Eighth Rank Invincibles could die.


    Sara had considered that his clone might fall, but he never thought it would die at the hands of a human evolver of the same stage.


    "That Milky Way Star Lord, how could he be so strong? He actuallyprehended three types of high-level cosmic power?"


    Sara''s heart trembled, feeling something was amiss. If it were just three types of high-level cosmic power, even if he could kill him, it shouldn''t have been that instantaneous. Clearly, besides those three types of cosmic power, the Milky Way Star Lord must have mastered another formidable force.


    "Milky Way Star Lord... the Insect Race is in trouble now," Sara thought silently.


    Although he had lost a clone, which was a significant loss, with the Milky Way Star Lord''s performance just now, he would likely be a major threat to the Insect Race.


    "Moreover... the myth of Eighth Rank Invincibles has been broken..."


    Sara''s face wasplex.


    Milky Way Star Lord.


    Lin Yuan enveloped the surroundings with Tai Chi force, supplemented by boundless force and annihtion force, quickly killing another Eighth Rank Invincible alien.


    "Three ran away."


    Lin Yuan nced at threepletely different directions.


    The escape directions of the five Eighth Rank Invincibles were naturally not the same, but scattered.


    After killing two, the remaining three had already fled far.


    Given Lin Yuan''s current strength, even though he hadn''t fully recovered to his peak, he could have stopped those five Eighth Rank Invincibles.


    However, this would undoubtedly expose more cosmic powers.


    Mastering dozens of cosmic powers, including primordial power that surpassed high-level cosmic powers, should be kept as a trump card.


    Exposing them just to kill a few Eighth Rank Invincibles was not worth it to Lin Yuan.


    Moreover, it wasn''t even a real kill. Lin Yuan could sense that the two Eighth Rank Invincibles he had already killed were still causally linked to him, meaning their true bodies were still alive.


    "Eighth Rank Invincibles, although on the same level ofbat power as Supreme Immortal Kings of the Spirit Realm, have far superior escape methods."


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    The reason was not hard to understand. In the Spirit Realm, Supreme Immortal Kings were almost at the top, but in the main world, Eighth Rank Invincibles were not even at the peak.


    Thus, Eighth Rank Invincibles ced great importance on escape methods, and most had backgrounds that granted them stronger endowments.


    This was far beyond what Supreme Immortal Kings of the Spirit Realm couldpare to.

 Chapter 275

    Chapter 275


    Outside the Milky Way Star Domain.


    Three figures converge.


    These three figures are the same three rank-eight invincible ones who previously attempted to assassinate Lin Yuan.


    At this moment, these three rank-eight invincible ones are filled with fear and their auras are weak. They paid a terrible price to escape the pursuit of the Milky Way Star Lord.


    "How can the Milky Way Star Lord be so strong?" one figure trembled as he spoke. Originally, they were five rank-eight invincible ones, thinking the task was simple: to assassinate a newly advanced rank-eight evolver.


    Wasn''t this supposed to be an easy task? How could that Milky Way Star Lord, even if a genius, pose a problem? But reality pped them hard. If they hadn''t run quickly, they would have beenpletely left in the Milky Way Star Domain.


    Although the three rank-eight invincible ones had avatars, they had invested countless resources to condense each avatar, and losing one would be painful for a long time.


    "How does the Insect Race conduct their operations? They didn''t even investigate the background of the Milky Way Star Lord before sending us to assassinate him," the second rank-eight invincible one couldn''t help but say.


    The Milky Way Star Lord was too strong.Strong enough to make rank-eight invincible ones tremble with fear.


    Under such circumstances, it was undoubtedly the Insect Race''s fault.


    "Yes, how does the Insect Race gather intelligence?" the third rank-eight invincible one alsoined.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    Countless evolvers were in shock at the scene they had just witnessed.


    What did they see? Five rank-eight invincible aliens were easily repelled by the Milky Way Star Lord.


    Ordinary evolvers couldn''t see more, only knowing that the five rank-eight invincible ones voluntarily retreated.


    But rank-eight evolvers could roughly see that the Milky Way Star Lord chased two rank-eight invincible ones and easily killed them.


    Killed?


    Rank-eight invincible ones?


    These two terms shouldn''t appear together at all.


    Even if a rank-eight invincible one is killed, it would be by a rank-nine powerhouse or some war weapon.


    Killed by the newly advanced rank-eight Milky Way Star Lord?


    Is this world crazy?


    "When did the Lord of the Stars be so powerful?"


    "Why do I feel that those rank-eight invincible ones are very weak?"


    "How can rank-eight invincible ones be weak? Did you forget the space oppression they caused the moment they appeared?"


    "It''s not that the rank-eight invincible ones are weak, it''s that the Lord is too strong."


    Chun Bo and Jia Li, two rank-seven evolvers, were on the Milky Way Main Star, discussing excitedly.


    Red Skin and Green Eyes were the same, looking at the Milky Way Star Lord with shock as he effortlessly disyed his strength in killing rank-eight invincible ones.


    They had followed the Red Kun Star Lord and knew the power of rank-eight invincible ones. Even the Red Kun Star Lord couldn''t kill a rank-eight invincible one.


    Suppressing a rank-eight invincible one might be possible, but defeating or even killing one was as hard as climbing to the sky.


    The Milky Way Star Lord.


    Outside the Milky Way Main Star, Captain Nn''s mouth was dry. He had seen more than those rank-eight evolvers on the main star.


    He had witnessed the appearance of the five rank-eight invincible aliens and their panicked escape.


    "The myth of the rank-eight invincible ones has been shattered by the Milky Way Star Lord."


    Captain Nn quickly thought.


    The so-called myth of the rank-eight invincible ones is that they absolutely cannot be killed by same-level powerhouses.


    Rank-eight invincible ones are at the absolute peak of the rank-eight level.


    To kill a rank-eight invincible one, there are only two ways: either a higher-level powerhouse takes action, or one uses some powerful ''external force''.


    The external force refers to weapons, treasures, and so on.


    On the alien battlefield, it asionally happens that some strong individuals wield powerful weapons.


    That is considered ''external force''.


    But the Milky Way Star Lord just now did not use any external force.


    This was clear to the five rank-eight invincible ones, and to Captain Nn as well.


    Not using external force yet easily killing rank-eight invincible ones, isn''t this shattering the myth?


    Whoosh.


    While Captain Nn was still in shock.


    A figure suddenly appeared before him.


    It was the Milky Way Star Lord.


    "I''ll take these Taiwei Pure Crystals," Lin Yuan said.


    Just now, when he was about to collect the Taiwei Pure Crystals, he was interrupted by the five rank-eight invincible ones. Now that he had dealt with them, he naturally intended to finish the business.


    "Okay."


    "Please sign for the Taiwei Pure Crystals, Milky Way Star Lord."


    Captain Nn immediately responded.


    He then respectfully spoke.


    At this moment, Captain Nn''s respect was entirely from the heart, without any other factors.


    Before today, Captain Nn''s respect for Lin Yuan was due to his background, talent, and other factors.


    But now, it was entirely due to his strength.


    Just like countless evolvers of human civilization, they revered and respected the nine strongest ones.


    Buzz.


    As Lin Yuan confirmed his identity and signed for the crystals.


    With a thought, he stored the spatial devices from the warship into his internal world.


    The Taiwei Pure Crystals purchased with eighty thousand universe crystals, piled together, were enough to form severals.


    Captain Nn, near the peak of rank-eight, had an internal world only a few thousand miles in diameter and couldn''t hold all the Taiwei Pure Crystals.


    As for putting the spatial devices containing arge amount of Taiwei Pure Crystals into the internal world, it depended on the carrying capacity of the internal world.


    A spatial device holding materials the size of a cannot be stored in an internal world only a few hundred miles in diameter.


    But for Lin Yuan, these Taiwei Pure Crystals were not a problem.


    Even without expansion, Lin Yuan''s current internal world was millions of miles in diameter.


    Not to mention eighty thousand universe crystals worth of Taiwei Pure Crystals, even eight hundred thousand universe crystals worth could be easily stored.


    Milky Way Main Star, inside the pce.


    After storing all the Taiwei Pure Crystals in his internal world, Lin Yuan returned here directly.


    "Let''s look at the spoils of war," Lin Yuan thought, and two spatial wristbands appeared before him.


    These two spatial wristbands came from the two rank-eight invincible ones Lin Yuan had killed. In addition, the essence and blood from their dissolving bodies and their weapons and treasures were also collected.


    "So wealthy."


    Lin Yuan roughly explored them, a smile appearing on his face.


    Inside the two spatial wristbands, just the universe crystals alone exceeded two hundred thousand.


    Not to mention other treasures and weapons.


    If converted to universe crystals, it was a huge ie.


    Lin Yuan roughly calcted that the total value of the spoils from killing two rank-eight invincible ones was close to five hundred thousand universe crystals.


    In other words, one rank-eight invincible one contributed an average of two hundred fifty thousand universe crystals to Lin Yuan.


    This was actually the normal value of a rank-eight invincible one.


    Whether it was the Dark Lin n''s Sara or another rank-eight invincible one, they didn''t expect any issues with this assassination of the Milky Way Star Lord.


    The Milky Way Star Domain is at the edge of human civilization territory, and the worst oue they considered was a failed assassination, expecting to retreat intact. They never imagined beingpletely trapped by Lin Yuan.


    So these two rank-eight invincible ones'' avatars carried arge number of universe crystals and treasures, not expecting any risk in the assassination mission.


    "This is... Memory Poison?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression slightly changed.


    In the Dark Lin n''s Sara''s spatial wristband, he discovered this strange item.


    "The aliens intended topletely kill me..." Lin Yuan naturally knew the effect of Memory Poison, a strange item targeting the memory level, even the strongest ''resurrection'' couldn''t save from it.


    "Unfortunately, Memory Poison is ineffective against me." Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    Even without his strength surging to a levelparable to a rank-nine powerhouse after the eighth traversal, the Divine Sealing Bead given by the strongest Xia Qin could resist the invasion of Memory Poison.


    "Although useless to me, such a strange item is priceless." Lin Yuan carefully put away the Memory Poison.


    "In a sh, I''ve made back my investment." Lin Yuan felt joyful.


    Earlier, he was distressed about purchasing eighty thousand universe crystals worth of Taiwei Pure Crystals, but unexpectedly, he had now gained treasures worth five hundred thousand universe crystals.


    Not only did he make back his investment, but he also made a huge profit.


    And this was excluding the value of Memory Poison.


    Lin Yuan didn''t know the exact value of Memory Poison, but he was sure it was far more than tens of thousands of universe crystals.


    "With this Memory Poison, I canpletely kill a peerless genius of the aliens," Lin Yuan thought.


    Not only the Insect Race and other peak races collect and list human peerless geniuses for assassination, but human civilization also collects lists of peerless geniuses from other peak races. Killing one equals removing a threat to human civilization and earns significant merit points.


    "If only I had also captured those three rank-eight invincible ones."


    "At least I should have chased them."


    Lin Yuan felt some regret. He didn''t know that these rank-eight invincible aliens, when entering human civilization territory for assassination, would carry so many treasures and universe crystals.


    Virtual World.


    Personal Space.


    Red Kun Star Lord and White Light Star Lord sat facing each other.


    "What did you say? The aliens sent five rank-eight invincible ones to assassinate my disciple?" Red Kun Star Lord was shocked.


    The moment White Light Star Lord discovered the five rank-eight invincible aliens outside the Milky Way Main Star, he split a part of his consciousness into the virtual world to contact Red Kun Star Lord.


    "Don''t worry, I will use the secret treasure White Heart me." White Light Star Lord''s expression was solemn.


    "White Heart me..." Red Kun Star Lord wasn''t reassured.


    Once activated, the White Heart me could indeed unleash nearly rank-nine basic power, but the opponents were five rank-eight invincible ones.


    If they were willing to pay the price, they couldpletely endure the damage of White Heart me for a short time.


    Since the aliens had dispatched five rank-eight invincible ones, they must have been determined to seed.


    "No, I have to contact the strongest ones."


    Red Kun Star Lord abruptly stood up.


    "Wait."


    Suddenly, White Light Star Lord stopped Red Kun Star Lord.


    "Wait for what?" Red Kun Star Lord frowned.


    "They have retreated; those five rank-eight invincible aliens have retreated." White Light Star Lord was silent for a moment and said with disbelief.


    "Retreated?"


    Red Kun Star Lord was also stunned.


    Although this oue was unexpected, it made him slightly relieved.


    "Did one of our rank-nine evolvers pass by and save my disciple?" Red Kun Star Lord sat down again.


    "I must thank them in person."


    In Red Kun Star Lord''s view, only a rank-nine evolver could make five rank-eight invincible ones voluntarily retreat.


    As for human rank-eight invincible evolvers? One or two rank-eight invincible evolvers couldn''t make five rank-eight invincible aliens retreat.


    As for five or six human evolvers? How could there be such a coincidence? Rank-eight invincible evolvers mostly stationed in medium-sized alien battlefields, wouldn''t gather without the three goddesses''mand.


    So Red Kun Star Lord believed it was a passing human rank-nine evolver who saved Lin Yuan.


    "It wasn''t a rank-nine evolver." White Light Star Lord was silent for a moment and shook his head.


    "It wasn''t a rank-nine evolver?" Red Kun Star Lord was surprised. "Then who were the rank-eight invincible ones? I must thank them personally."


    If not a rank-nine evolver, then it must have been several passing rank-eight invincible ones. Although this scene was unbelievable, since it happened, Red Kun Star Lord wouldn''t say anything.


    "No passing rank-eight invincible ones." White Light Star Lord was silent for a moment before speaking again.


    These words made Red Kun Star Lord also fall silent.


    "Old man, what do you mean?" Red Kun Star Lord grew impatient.


    Denying his guesses but not revealing the truth, what was he trying to hide?


    "Your disciple himself repelled those five rank-eight invincible aliens." White Light Star Lord looked at Red Kun Star Lord with aplicated expression.


    "My disciple... um... who did you say?" Red Kun Star Lord was stunned, not reacting.


    He understood every word White Light Star Lord said, but together they made Red Kun Star Lord a bit confused.


    "I said, your disciple, with his own power, made the five rank-eight invincible aliens retreat voluntarily." White Light Star Lord repeated.


    Now, Red Kun Star Lord fully understood.


    He blinked, not knowing what to say.


    Making five rank-eight invincible ones voluntarily retreat could mean many things, but the most likely reason was that those five rank-eight invincible ones felt they couldn''t deal with Lin Yuan, so they retreated.


    Entering human territory for an assassination, even on the edge, those five rank-eight invincible ones wouldn''t dare stay long. Once they realized they couldn''t seed, they would retreat decisively.


    To avoid being intercepted by human powerhouses.


    But to achieve this, Lin Yuan must also be a rank-eight invincible one.


    Thinking of this, Red Kun Star Lord felt emotional. How long had it been since he epted his little disciple, who now had grown to stand shoulder to shoulder with him?


    "Red Kun, there''s one more thing I don''t know if I should say." White Light Star Lord nced at the emotional Red Kun Star Lord, hesitating.


    "What can''t you say now?" Red Kun Star Lordughed. "I should be happy that my disciple has caught up with me."


    "Your disciple not only made those five rank-eight invincible ones retreat but also chased and killed two of them."


    White Light Star Lord said softly.


    "Killed two rank-eight invincible ones?"


    Red Kun Star Lord fell silent again. Even with his strength, he couldn''t kill two rank-eight invincible ones, let alone while being surrounded by five.


    "Did you see it clearly?"


    Red Kun Star Lord''s expression grew serious.


    Killing rank-eight invincible ones isn''t inconceivable; onrge alien battlefields, rank-eight invincible ones fall from time to time.


    But Lin Yuan...


    "I confirm."


    White Light Star Lord affirmed.


    Though not a rank-eight invincible one himself, his deep understanding of space rules allowed him to see clearly the death of those two rank-eight invincible aliens at the hands of the Milky Way Star Lord.


    "My disciple..."


    Red Kun Star Lord, hearing this, didn''t doubt but showed a helpless look.


    He had misspoken earlier.


    His disciple hadn''t caught up to him.


    He had surpassed him.

 Chapter 276

    Chapter 276


    "Red Kun, you''ve taken in a good disciple."


    White Light Star Lord looked at Red Kun Star Lord and spoke.


    In human civilization of the universe, it is not umon for a disciple to surpass their teacher.


    Perhaps among those other races, there exists suppression, control, and envement of geniuses within the race.


    This leads to the strong bing stronger, with those in high positions consolidating their status by limiting the advancement paths of those below them.


    But this phenomenon is almost non-existent in human civilization today.


    Under the rule of the three Ultimate Intelligent Goddesses, as long as you can exhibit talent in some aspect, you will be protected.


    Even if you have no talent at all, you can live a stable life, as long as you do not break thew, there won''t be any problems.


    Therefore, even though the average individual of human civilization is rtively weakpared to other peak races, they can steadily and continuously produce arge number of strong individuals.Thus, sweeping across the universe, even when facing peak races like the Insect Race, they canpete and even gain the upper hand.


    "Yes."


    "A disciple too outstanding can be a headache for the teacher."


    Red Kun Star Lord sighed, causing White Light Star Lord to roll his eyes beside him.


    At the level of Red Kun Star Lord, it is very difficult to advance further in a short time, so much of his usual conversations andparisons with friends revolve around his disciples.


    The more exceptional Lin Yuan is, the prouder Red Kun Star Lord feels as a teacher.


    ''I can teach such a powerful disciple, can you?''


    ''Even if I didn''t personally teach him, it was my discerning eye that recognized his talent.''


    In short, ever since taking in Lin Yuan, Red Kun Star Lord has been living veryfortably, never losing inparisons with friends.


    Especially just now, upon learning about Lin Yuan''s formidable achievements from White Light Star Lord, Red Kun Star Lord felt even more satisfied. Even if in the future some of his friends reach rank-nine, they would still be overshadowed by him in terms of taking disciples.


    "What are you showing off, old man?"


    White Light Star Lord nced at Red Kun Star Lord.


    "Don''t let your disciple reach rank-nine while you are still stuck at rank-eight."


    White Light Star Lord teased.


    Rank-nine powerhouses begin to merge with the great universe, so even though White Light Star Lord found Lin Yuan''s disyed strength incredible, he was certain that Lin Yuan was still at rank-eight.


    "I don''t mind."


    Red Kun Star Lord didn''t care at all.


    The battle outside the Milky Way Main Star, as time passed, spread like a hurricane throughout human territory.


    Human territory is vast, and even the affairs of rank-nine or rank-ten evolvers do not necessarily spread widely, very few can cross star zones.


    But Lin Yuan''s battle with the five rank-eight invincible aliens, killing two of them, caused a massive shock throughout human civilization.


    No matter which star zone, there are definitely rank-eight invincible ones.


    As rank-eight invincible ones, they understand the difficulty of killing another rank-eight invincible one at the same level.


    This is killing.


    Not defeating or suppressing.


    "Little Junior Brother," in another marginal star domain, the Grand Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage looked at the information before him, somewhat stunned.


    He had long known about his little junior brother''s terrifying talent, When he first entered rank-eight, he could easily suppress an evolver like him, who had adapted to rank-eight for some time.


    Teacher Red Kun Star Lord even said Lin Yuan was ''holding back''.


    From that moment, the Grand Peak Master knew that the gap between him and his little junior brother would only grow wider.


    But the Grand Peak Master didn''t expect that it hadn''t been long since then, while he was still busy bncing the various forces within his star domain, his little junior brother was already ughtering invincible rank-eights.


    "Thirteenth Peak Master, he killed two rank-eight invincible ones?"


    In the Wan Yang Star Domain, Wan Yang Holy Son, upon learning this information, sighed inwardly.


    "I once thought of challenging the Thirteenth Peak Master, now it seems ridiculous."


    Although Wan Yang Holy Son was also shocked by Lin Yuan''s means of killing rank-eight invincible ones, he once considered the Thirteenth Peak Master as a goal to chase.


    He deeply understood the growth speed of the Thirteenth Peak Master, breaking the myth of the invincible rank-eight being undefeated. While other strong ones couldn''t achieve it, the Thirteenth Peak Master did, and Wan Yang Holy Son quickly epted this.


    "I didn''t expect that I once sparred with the Thirteenth Peak Master." Wan Yang Holy Son felt calm but also a hint of pride.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his consciousness descending into his internal world.


    "Taiwei Pure Crystals."


    Massive Taiwei Pure Crystals, the size of dozens ofs, were piled up in a region of his internal world, pure energy aura spreading.


    "Begin the expansion."


    With a thought, Lin Yuan released the suppression on his internal world.


    In an instant, tens of thousands of tons of Taiwei Pure Crystals shattered, turning into pure energy, merging into the internal world, supporting its frantic expansion.


    "First, expand the internal world to its limit, then absorb the liquid from the mysterious gourd to enhance the basic multiplier."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself, this was the most efficient method.


    Since ending the transmigration half a month ago, Lin Yuan hadn''t directly started absorbing the liquid from the mysterious gourd, waiting for the Taiwei Pure Crystals to arrive.


    If he first absorbed the liquid from the mysterious gourd, increasing the basic multiplier of his internal world to thirteen times, the energy needed to expand the internal world to the extent of his space ruleprehension would far exceed the current amount.


    Increasing from one to three consumes two, but increasing from ten to thirty consumes twenty.


    By then, the universe crystals needed for Lin Yuan would not be eighty thousand, but eight hundred thousand or even more than a million.


    "At the current rate of expansion, it will take five or six days to expand to 37.5 million miles, then absorb the liquid from the mysterious gourd. In half a month at most, I can restore my internal world to nearly a 100M miles."


    Lin Yuan observed for a while, estimating in his mind.


    In the spirit realm for nearly a thousand years, he spent a lot of time absorbing several kinds of liquid from the mysterious gourd, greatly enhancing his physical divine ability ''Blood Rebirth''.


    Next, re-absorbing wouldn''t take long.


    After observing for a while longer, Lin Yuan''s consciousness returned to the outside world.


    The expansion of the internal world was an instinctive behavior, not requiring Lin Yuan to constantly monitor it.


    As long as there was sufficient energy supply.


    "I now have 26 million merit points?"


    Lin Yuan nced, pondering.


    The value of the Martial Dao rank-eight chapter was 22 million merit points.


    The remaining four million merit points, 1.5 million were from Lin Yuan informing the Wisdom Goddess aboutprehending 3333 evolutionary paths from the strongest one''s body.


    Another one million merit points were rewards for killing those two rank-eight invincible ones.


    Normally,pletely killing a rank-eight alien is worth one million merit points, and killing a rank-eight invincible one yields more.


    But Lin Yuan hadn''tpletely killed those two rank-eight invincible ones, their true bodies still lived, so together it was only one million merit points.


    But Lin Yuan was already satisfied. Not to mention, those two rank-eight invincible aliens contributed treasures worth nearly 500,000 universe crystals, making him a big profit.


    And the extra million merit points were entirely a bonus.


    As for the remaining one million merit points, it was what Lin Yuan had umted before.


    "Upgrading from a rank-seven citizen to a rank-eight citizen... requires 50 million merit points?" Lin Yuan checked the merit points for the next citizen level, shaking his head slightly.


    Fifty million merit points is an astronomical figure, even for those rank-eight invincible evolvers, it is out of reach.


    "No wonder many evolutionary schrs are not rank-eight citizens." Lin Yuan thought.


    Evolutionary schrs at least open up a new rank-eight evolutionary path, worth at least several million merit points.


    In addition, each evolutionary schr has a research in the central star region, constantly deducing various results, which is also a significant merit point ie over time.


    Finally, evolutionary schrs can join the human civilization''s academy and evolution institute, earning a steady stream of merit points over time.


    Compared to most evolvers, evolutionary schrs have many more ways to earn merit points.


    Even so, a considerable number of evolutionary schrs have not be rank-eight citizens.


    "Take it slow."


    "As long as I can open up the Martial Dao rank-nine chapter, it should be enough to be a rank-eight citizen."


    Lin Yuan thought silently. The Martial Dao rank-eight chapter was worth 22 million merit points, the rank-nine chapter couldn''t be less than this, more than enough for the rank-eight citizen upgrade.


    "Rank-eight citizen." Lin Yuan looked forward to it.


    This level of citizen is no longer just a citizen, but a decision-maker of human civilization, capable of influencing star alliances.


    Currently, the head of the Annam Star Alliance is a rank-eight citizen, whose influence is so great that the surrounding dozens of star alliances cannot underestimate him.


    Outside human territory.


    In a deste star domain.


    The colossal shadow of an Insect Race emissary descended, along with several towering figures.


    "What is the matter with the Milky Way Star Lord? How long has it been since he crossed into rank-eight, and he already has the strength to kill rank-eight invincible ones?" one towering figure spoke, his tone somewhat doubtful.


    For them, rank-eight invincible ones are nothing, but the Milky Way Star Lord is so young and has grown to this point so quickly. What will he be in the future?


    "Kann, you know best about the assassination of the Milky Way Star Lord. What exactly happened?" the second towering figure looked at the shadow of the Insect Race emissary, frowning.


    "The facts are just as you know." The Insect Race emissary said.


    She hadn''t expected the assassination to end this way. That Milky Way Star Lord had just stepped into rank-eight, and soon after became invincible at rank-eight, with astonishing strength.


    "Did he use external force?"


    The third towering figure asked.


    This was important. If the Milky Way Star Lord used external force to kill two rank-eight invincible ones, it wouldn''t matter much, as external force is limited.


    "This is the battle footage."


    Before the Insect Race emissary, scenes of Lin Yuan confronting the five rank-eight invincible aliens appeared.


    Momentster.


    All the existences watched the footage.


    "No external force was used."


    "That Milky Way Star Lord has at least mastered three types of cosmic power, and they are all high-level cosmic powers."


    "One of the cosmic powers should have reached the third realm."


    The towering figures whispered, with surprise in their tones.


    Comprehending cosmic power is not easy, and high-level cosmic power is even more challenging.


    The Milky Way Star Lordprehended three types of high-level cosmic power, which is more astonishing than killing two rank-eight invincible ones.


    "No wonder he could kill two rank-eight invincible ones."


    "These three high-level cosmic powers, whenbined, barely touch the threshold of rank-nine, but in other aspects, they are much more advanced than ordinary rank-nine."


    The towering figures looked at each other.


    Rank-nine powerhouses find it difficult to kill rank-eight invincible ones because rank-eight invincible ones can escape, using their cosmic power to hold off rank-nine powerhouses for a moment.


    Of course, here the rank-nine powerhouses refer to the most ordinary ones. In the face of stronger rank-nine powerhouses, it is hard for rank-eight invincible ones to survive.


    But although the Milky Way Star Lord is not a rank-nine powerhouse, his methods have no weaknesses, and the cosmic power of rank-eight invincible ones cannot affect him.


    On the contrary, the three high-level cosmic powers mastered by the Milky Way Star Lord greatly limit the rank-eight invincible ones.


    Simply put, it is not that the Milky Way Star Lord''s strength surpasses ordinary rank-nine powerhouses, but those rank-eight invincible ones are restrained by him.


    "With three high-level cosmic powers, once the Milky Way Star Lord crosses into rank-nine, he will advance by leaps and bounds, with a high sess rate of reaching rank-ten in the future."


    "If I had known the Milky Way Star Lord had such potential, our race should have dispatched rank-nine power to assassinate him."


    "Tearing faces is just tearing faces, at most facing human civilization''s counterattack, but letting the Milky Way Star Lord grow, the losses on therge battlefield in the future will be greater."


    The towering figures discussed among themselves.


    Their killing intent towards the Milky Way Star Lord was strong, but they also knew that with the Milky Way Star Lord showing such strength, he must have attracted the attention of human civilization.


    Sending a rank-nine powerhouse to assassinate the Milky Way Star Lord now was toote.


    It might fail and even get ambushed by human civilization''s powerhouses, losing their own forces.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    In his internal world, the Taiwei Pure Crystals piled up to the size of fiftys were almost exhausted.


    Lin Yuan''s internal world smoothly expanded to 37.5 million miles in diameter.


    This was the internal world with a fivefold increase, so the basic size should be 7.5 million miles in diameter.


    "Now I can absorb the liquid from the mysterious gourd." Lin Yuan immediately took out the gourd.


    The main world''s body had stopped at the second orange liquid, while in the spirit realm, it was about to finish absorbing the fourth green liquid, with an increase of thirteen times.


    Inhale.


    Exhale.


    Lin Yuan immediately began absorbing the liquid from the mysterious gourd.


    The physical divine ability ''Blood Rebirth'' had greatly improved, easily withstanding the burning of the orange liquid.


    In just over ten days.


    Lin Yuan''s absorption of the liquid from the mysterious gourd caught up with the progress in the spirit realm.


    Rumble.


    The internal world expanded madly, and if Lin Yuan hadn''t prepared in advance, the spatial fluctuations caused by the expansion would have swept across the Milky Way Main Star.


    "Finally."


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness descended into the internal world.


    At this moment, the internal world had reached its expansion limit, nearly 100M miles in diameter.


    Vast, boundless and endless.

 Chapter 277

    Chapter 277


    "My current strength."


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes. The inner world within him, spanning nearly a hundred million miles, had reached a qualitative change with the power it extended, plus the dozens of types of cosmic power he mastered.


    Lin Yuan had finally regained his peak strength.


    To be precise, he was even stronger than during his time in the Spirit Realm, as his main world''s physical body had integrated many cosmic treasures.


    The Spirit Realm''s physical body did not have this treatment.


    "If those five eighth-rank invincible aliens were to assassinate me now..."


    The restoration of his inner world to nearly a hundred million miles in size provided a transformative boost to Lin Yuan''sbat power.


    The difference between an inner world spanning tens of millions of miles and one spanning nearly a hundred million miles was far greater than tenfold.


    "Currently, the absorption of the green liquid from the mysterious gourd has temporarily reached its limit."Lin Yuan''s consciousness returned to the outside world as he pondered.


    The augmentation of the inner world by the liquid from the mysterious gourd depended on two aspects.


    One was the fundamental size of the inner world, which rted to theprehension of space rules.


    The other was the physical body''s divine ability, ''Blood Rebirth'' and its resistance to the mes transformed from the gourd''s liquid.


    "I still need toprehend the space rules as much as possible."


    "With my Unrivaled Insight, I can fullyprehend theplete space rules at the eighth rank," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    For other strong beings, whether they were human evolvers or alien beings, it was almost impossible to fullyprehend theplete space rules at the eighth rank.


    Because the difficulty was too high.


    But Lin Yuan didn''t find it difficult, it was just a matter of how much time he needed to invest.


    Eighth-rank evolvers had long lifespans, and Lin Yuan was still young. He had plenty of time to attempt it.


    "Forget it, let''s focus on rule fusion and continueprehending the core space models. That can be a secondary goal."


    After a moment of contemtion, Lin Yuan followed the current human civilization''s exnation of the eighth and ninth ranks. Comprehending cosmic power at the eighth rank was very beneficial for cultivation at the ninth rank.


    But whether or not heprehended the space rules had little impact on the ninth rank, as many initial ninth-rank strong beings had not yetprehended the space rules.


    Given this¡ª


    Lin Yuan thought it was more practical to quickly step into the ninth rank.


    Unrivaled Insight was rted to Lin Yuan''s level. Comprehending space rules at the eighth rank and at the ninth rank was apletely different level of difficulty.


    Therefore¡ª


    Unless this matter affected his foundational base, Lin Yuan would prioritize raising his own realm.


    "The ninth rank..."


    Lin Yuan pondered deeply.


    The biggest bottleneck and shackle to stepping into the ninth rank was rule fusion.


    To merge an ordinary rule he had mastered into a pir rule.


    The pir rule could be time rules, space rules, life rules, and so on.


    Given his current conditions, Lin Yuan naturally chose to merge into the space rules.


    "Rule fusion is not new to me."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts diverged. Afterprehending the Yin rules, the Yang rules began to merge with the Yin rules, giving rise to the higher cosmic power of Tai Chi.


    However, both Yang rules and Yin rules were ordinary rules, and their fusion was far easier than the fusion of pir rules.


    "In the Spirit Realm, I had already started merging the Tai Chi rules into the space rules, reaching one-tenth progress. Now I just need to continue."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The fusion of different rules was much more difficult than simplyprehending a single rule. How could it be easy to merge twopletely different rules?


    The fusion of Lin Yuan''s Yin rules and Yang rules was entirely because he had started merging them since the second and third ranks, graduallyprehending these two rules and then proceeding to merge them, making it a natural process.


    But merging space rules and Tai Chi rules? Even with Lin Yuan''s Unrivaled Insight, he asionally hit a roadblock.


    After several days of continuousprehension.


    Lin Yuan stopped, rubbed his temples, and nned to rest for a while.


    Trying to merge Tai Chi rules with space rules required not only enough insight but also great mental effort from Lin Yuan.


    So after cultivating for a while, Lin Yuan had to take a break.


    Forcing continuedprehension would only lead to mental exhaustion, decreasing the efficiency of fusion.


    "Let''s see how many evolvers are following the martial arts evolution path."


    Whether in the main world or in the traversal worlds, Lin Yuan attached great importance to the spread of the martial arts evolution path.


    This rted to his ''Ultimate Leap.''


    Many strong beings below the strongest, like those ''ancient gods'' in the depths of the universe, liked to spread their own evolution paths to prepare for the Ultimate Leap.


    Although Lin Yuan''s current strength had not reached the level of an ancient god, there was no harm inying out ns for the Ultimate Leap in advance.


    The key point was that the martial arts evolution path in the main world could bring Lin Yuan substantial benefits.


    Over the years, Lin Yuan had earned tens of thousands of universe crystals just from the revenue shares of the martial arts evolution path.


    These universe crystals weren''t as fast to obtain as killing several eighth-rank invincibles, but they were continuous and without any hidden risks.


    Killing an eighth-rank invincible, even for Lin Yuan, came with dangers, such as preventing alien strong beings from using the eighth-rank invincibles as bait.


    But the revenue share from the martial arts evolution path was steady and secure.


    "Rank One: 6,263,897."


    "Rank Two: 1,125,600."


    "Rank Three: 32,421."


    "Rank Four: 7,307."


    "Rank Five: 1,038 people."


    "Not bad, not bad."


    "Even Rank Five has over a thousand people."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    Although in the Spirit Realm, Lin Yuan had nurtured several seventh-rank martial arts strong beings.


    That took nearly a thousand years. The main world produced so many martial arts evolvers in just a few decades, which was extremely rare.


    In terms of efficiency, it surpassed the Spirit Realm''s cultivation of martial arts practitioners within the same time frame.


    "I priced the Rank Eight chapter at five hundred billion civilization coins, and it sold over ten thousand copies?" Lin Yuan nced at the sales numbers for the Rank Eight chapter.


    At this time, the evolvers purchasing the Rank Eight chapter were mostly not following the martial arts evolution path.


    Currently, there were no Rank Six martial arts evolvers, making the purchase of the Rank Eight chapter meaningless.


    It was likely bought by those eighth-rank evolvers, or even ninth-rank or tenth-rank evolvers.


    After all, the current martial arts evolution path ranked first on the Annan Star Alliance''s evolution list, and its rapid ascent made even ninth-rank and tenth-rank evolvers curious enough to purchase it.


    Five hundred billion civilization coins was a vast fortune for sixth-rank and seventh-rank evolvers, but for ninth-rank and tenth-rank evolvers, it wasn''t much.


    Ninth-rank and tenth-rank evolvers were already strategic forces within human civilization. A single venture into a cosmic secret realm would yield far more than that amount.


    "With over ten thousand copies of the Rank Eight chapter sold, even after deducting the civilization''s share and taxes, it still brings in thousands of universe crystals."


    Lin Yuan was pleased. This was just shortly after uploading the Rank Eight chapter. The revenue from the martial arts evolution path would only increase.


    Red Kun Main Star''s virtual world.


    Lin Yuan and the Red Kun Star Lord sat across from each other, enjoying fine wine.


    "It''s been a long time since I''ve enjoyed such a leisurely drink." Lin Yuan took a sip, the intense vor warming his throat.


    The wine in the virtual world, although not beneficial to the physical body, tasted just as good as real wine.


    "This wine costs a universe crystal per cup in the outside world. It''s much cheaper in the virtual world but still costs millions of universe coins."


    The Red Kun Star Lord said, even he was reluctant to buy such wine in reality. Not because he couldn''t afford it, but because he found it painful to spend that much.


    "You used three types of cosmic power to kill those two eighth-rank invincibles. Are they all higher cosmic powers?" The Red Kun Star Lord asked curiously.


    "I''m not sure if they are higher cosmic powers," Lin Yuan shook his head.


    He only spected that Tai Chi Power, Annihtion Power, and Boundless Power were higher cosmic powers, but he wasn''t certain.


    "Teacher, take a look." Lin Yuan raised his right hand, and three wisps of energy swirled around his fingers.


    "They are indeed higher cosmic powers. You have at least reached the third realm with this wisp of cosmic power." The Red Kun Star Lord eximed.


    He had already watched the video of Lin Yuan''s battle, seeing his disciple wielding three types of cosmic power. But seeing them firsthand swirling obediently around his disciple''s fingers was still shocking.


    These were higher cosmic powers.


    Not roadside vegetables.


    "People are iparable. When Iprehended a cosmic power, I was so proud, but you, my disciple, haveprehended three higher cosmic powers at once..."


    The Red Kun Star Lord sighed.


    "My luck was good, and the three powers Iprehended happened to be cosmic powers," Lin Yuan smiled.


    In the main world''s cosmic void, cosmic powers couldn''t be simted or replicated, so luck was essential inprehending a cosmic power.


    Some eighth-rank strong beings took tens of thousands of years toprehend one cosmic power, while others mightprehend one in a few decades.


    There was a random factor involved.


    "Comprehending one might be luck, butprehending three, can that still be called luck?" The Red Kun Star Lord sighed.


    His disciple was good in every way, except being too modest.


    If it were him, he would have boasted to all his old friends.


    "With three higher cosmic powers, how solid will your foundation be when you step into the ninth rank?" The Red Kun Star Lord clicked his tongue.


    What he didn''t know was that his disciple hadprehended not just three cosmic powers but dozens.


    Including the primordial power that surpassed higher cosmic powers.


    Red Kun Lineage''s virtual world.


    Countless members of the Red Kun Lineage whispered among themselves, asionally ncing toward the central main peak.


    Those in the know were aware that the Thirteenth Peak Lord, also known as the Milky Way Star Lord, was currently meeting with the Red Kun Star Lord.


    The Milky Way Star Lord''s visit wouldn''t have caused such a stir in the past, but the news of him killing two eighth-rank invincible aliens had electrified the Red Kun Lineage.


    What the Red Kun Star Lord hadn''t achieved, the Milky Way Star Lord had done, thrilling the members of the Red Kun Lineage.


    Even a fool could see that the Milky Way Star Lord''s future was limitless. Killing eighth-rank invincibles at such a young age made stepping into the ninth rank a certainty.


    "How is the Thirteenth Peak Lord so powerful?"


    "Haha, hasn''t he created enough miracles over the years?"


    "I should have done everything to join the Thirteenth Mountain Peak and be the Thirteenth Peak Lord''s subordinate."


    "The Thirteenth Mountain Peak has strict recruitment. Do you think you could join just by trying hard?"


    The members of the Red Kun Lineage discussed eagerly, spreading the fame of the Milky Way Star Lord and, by extension, the Red Kun Lineage.


    In a corner of the Red Kun Lineage.


    Feng Yu looked at the distant central main peak, his expressionplex.


    During the Seven Star Cave trial, the Thirteenth Peak Lord had invited him to join the Thirteenth Mountain Peak.


    But he had declined, choosing the Great Peak Lord, who had already stepped into the eighth rank.


    Soon after, Feng Yu regretted his decision as the Thirteenth Peak Lord also stepped into the eighth rank.


    Compared to the Great Peak Lord, who took nearly a hundred thousand years to reach the eighth rank, the Thirteenth Peak Lord surpassed him in every way.


    Feng Yu chose the Great Peak Lord because he was already an eighth-rank strong being, but the Thirteenth Peak Lord soon reached the eighth rank too.


    This made Feng Yu feel like a clown.


    Over the years, Feng Yu had barely recovered.


    He thought it didn''t matter whether he joined the Thirteenth Mountain Peak or the Great Peak Lord.


    Until recently, when he heard that the Thirteenth Peak Lord had killed two eighth-rank invincible aliens.


    Those were eighth-rank invincible aliens.


    And they were killed by the Thirteenth Peak Lord?


    Feng Yu regretted deeply. If he had chosen the Thirteenth Mountain Peak, he would be a prominent figure now.


    During that Seven Star Cave trial, among the two evolvers who chose the Thirteenth Mountain Peak, Mo Li was already stronger than Feng Yu as a Crimson mark examiner.


    But Wu Lan?


    Just an ordinary silver mark.


    No background.


    No patron.


    Just because she epted the Thirteenth Peak Lord''s invitation.


    Now, she stood high in the Red Kun Lineage, even respected by the peak lords.


    "One wrong step, every step wrong."


    Feng Yu sighed inwardly.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    After chatting with his teacher, the Red Kun Star Lord, Lin Yuan disconnected from the virtual world.


    "Now, I should be at the peak of the eighth rank."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. Afterpleting the eighth-rank martial arts chapter, he had reached the end of the eighth rank. The next step was to break through to the ninth rank.


    "I should try exploring the Devil Jade Space..."


    Lin Yuan suddenly thought.


    Afterprehending 3,333 evolutionary paths from a piece of the strongest being''s body outside the universe.


    Lin Yuan''s soul automatically condensed the Devil Jade Mark, making him an ordinary member of the Devil Jade Tower.


    The Devil Jade Mark symbolized his membership in the Devil Jade Tower, stabilized his soul, mind, and will.


    It also connected to a mysterious space, the Devil Jade Space, created by the Devil Jade Tower''s owner.


    This space was the greatest opportunity within that strongest being''s corpse.


    Lin Yuan knew from the Devil Jade Mark that it was best to reach the peak of the eighth rank before considering exploring the Devil Jade Space.


    So he waited until today.


    "Now it''s time."


    Lin Yuan''s mind probed his soul, locking onto the ''nine-story ck tower'' shaped Devil Jade Mark.


    "Time to explore."


    Lin Yuan activated the nine-story ck tower mark, and in an instant, his will soared, descending into a mysterious space.

 Chapter 278

    Chapter 278


    The Devil Jade Tower is a mysterious force from outside the universe.


    ording to the strongest one, Xia Qin, the owner of the Devil Jade Tower disappeared suddenly in the distant past.


    Many members of the Devil Jade Tower also went missing.


    The strongest one''s body that drifted in from outside the universe this time should be one of the members of the Devil Jade Tower.


    Otherwise, it would not contain evolutionary paths rted to the Devil Jade Tower.


    From the information Lin Yuan received from the Devil Jade Mark, the space connected to it was specially created by the owner of the Devil Jade Tower for training its members.


    Since it was for training, there must be risks. Without reaching the peak of the eighth rank, unexpected incidents might happen.


    Whoosh.


    A strand of Lin Yuan''s mental will descended into a mysterious space through the Devil Jade Mark."Is this the Devil Jade Space?"


    Lin Yuan cautiously observed his surroundings.


    "Am I here with just my mental will? My physical body is still on the Milky Way Main Star?"


    Lin Yuan quickly assessed his state.


    With multiple experiences of traversing the Gate of Myriad Realms, Lin Yuan was familiar with this feeling.


    The difference was that when he first descended into the transmigrated worlds through the Gate of Myriad Realms, he couldn''t feel his main world''s physical body at all.


    During the eighth transmigration, he could sense every detail around his physical body, thanks to the Gate of Myriad Realms acting as a ''medium.''


    But now.


    Lin Yuan could perceive the existence of his physical body, although it was incredibly distant, it was undeniably real.


    "This Devil Jade Space is certainly not in the main world, but it should be on the sametitude and dimension as the main world," Lin Yuan spected.


    If it were in a differenttitude and dimension, he shouldn''t be able to sense his physical body.


    "If I want to return now, I only need to disperse this strand of mental will." Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The Devil Jade Mark only brought a strand of mental will here, while the main body of the mental will was still within the physical body. Currently, Lin Yuan was simr to a consciousness projection.


    "With just a consciousness projection... I can only use ruleprehension and cosmic power?"


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts expanded as he looked around.


    All he could see was a vast expanse of white clouds and mist. Lin Yuan''s mind was subtly attracted to a point ahead on the left.


    "Is it directing me there?"


    Lin Yuan thought for a moment. This attraction came from the Devil Jade Mark.


    Without the Devil Jade Mark, even if he forcibly descended into this space, he wouldn''t know which direction to go in, as the white clouds and mist covered everything.


    "Let''s go."


    Lin Yuan didn''t n to wander randomly. Instead, he followed the direction indicated by the Devil Jade Mark, heading forward.


    Although he didn''t know the level of the owner of the Devil Jade Tower, they were certainly not weaker than the strongest ones. Being in a space created by such a being.


    Obeying their rules was the safest approach, while trying to find a new path was the most foolish thing to do.


    As soon as a strand of Lin Yuan''s mental will descended.


    In the core of the Devil Jade Space, in front of apletely pitch-ck nine-story tower.


    A humanoid stone statue suddenly opened its eyes, looking at Lin Yuan, who was cautiously approaching.


    "How many tens of thousands of years has it been? Finally, another member of the Devil Jade Tower has entered this training ground?"


    The stone statue looked at Lin Yuan with a nostalgic expression. "Back when the Devil Jade Tower was at its peak, members came to train here constantly. Now it takes ages for one toe."


    The humanoid stone statue sighed, "Master, where did you go? Without you, does the Devil Jade Tower even have a purpose?"


    Milky Way Main Star.


    Lin Yuan frowned slightly. He could sense everything experienced by the strand of mental will entering the Devil Jade Space.


    Even as that strand of mental will explored the Devil Jade Space, Lin Yuan could continue to train andprehend the Dao on his end.


    As an eighth-rank evolver, multitasking was perfectly normal.


    Unless something overly significant happened to that strand of mental will, most of his attention remained on his true body.


    "I wonder if any human evolvers have be ordinary members of the Devil Jade Tower so far," Lin Yuan pondered silently.


    Comprehending 3,333 evolutionary paths was one thing, butpleting and perfecting a single evolutionary path might have been achieved by some human evolver over the years.


    Bing an ordinary member of the Devil Jade Tower this way was much easier thanprehending 3,333 evolutionary paths.


    "What about alien races?"


    Lin Yuan frowned slightly.


    Even peak alien races didn''t have the means of the human virtual world to iste most of the powers from that piece of the strongest one''s body.


    Therefore, peak races faced significant risks inprehending that body.


    But simrly, the greater the risk, the greater the variability. Perhaps some alien perfectly suited to that bodyprehended much faster?


    "Forget it."


    "I need toprehend 33,333 evolutionary paths as quickly as possible."


    Lin Yuan split off another strand of consciousness, connecting to the virtual world, sitting atop a mountain peak, looking up at the piece of the strongest one''s body in the sky.


    Comprehending 3,333 evolutionary paths made one an ordinary member of the Devil Jade Tower.


    Lin Yuan spected that if he couldprehend 33,333 evolutionary paths, his rank as an ordinary member would likely increase.


    Although Lin Yuan didn''t know what he would encounter in the Devil Jade Space, having a higher rank as a member of the Devil Jade Tower couldn''t be a bad thing.


    Of course, Lin Yuan''s main effort was focused on rule fusion.


    Devil Jade Space.


    Lin Yuan followed the Devil Jade Mark''s guidance, passing throughyers of clouds and mist, finally arriving in front of a huge pitch-ck nine-story tower.


    The nine-story tower was grand and towering,pletely ck, and the faint aura it emitted prated through multipleyers of space.


    "This tower?" Lin Yuan felt the pressure on his mental will.


    This nine-story tower''s shape was identical to the ''nine-story ck tower'' of the Devil Jade Mark.


    However, the former was countless timesrger and emitted a pressure so strong that it gave Lin Yuan the illusion of facing the strongest one, Xia Qin, again.


    "Pressureparable to the strongest one? Could this tower be on par with a strongest one?" Lin Yuan felt incredulous.


    In the main world, the strongest ones were the epitome of invincibility, roaming the vast star seas.


    While Lin Yuan was repeatedly examining the nine-story tower.


    A gigantic humanoid stone statue slowly walked out.


    "Little one, don''t stare at the ck tower for too long. It will have adverse effects on you," the humanoid stone statue said.


    Although Lin Yuan had never heard thenguage before, he inexplicably understood its meaning.


    "Greetings, senior." Lin Yuan immediately showed respect.


    The gigantic humanoid stone statue appeared outside the ck tower, and its aura matched the tower''s, clearly a guardian or overseer.


    Likely closely rted to the Devil Jade Tower, calling him senior was appropriate.


    "Hahaha." The humanoid stone statueughed, "It''s been so many years since I saw a member of the Devil Jade Tower. Finally, someone to talk to."


    "Hmm?" Lin Yuan''s heart stirred.


    From the stone statue''s words, he could infer much information.


    For instance, thest member of the Devil Jade Tower to enter the Devil Jade Space before Lin Yuan was a long time ago.


    In other words.


    Currently, neither human civilization nor other peak alien races had any member bing an ordinary member of the Devil Jade Tower.


    Although it''s possible some members didn''t dare to enter the Devil Jade Space due to not being at the peak of the eighth rank.


    But the probability was low. Not everyone had Lin Yuan''s Unrivaled Insight.


    "My name is Shen Ji. Little one, you can call me by my name directly," the humanoid stone statue said with a smile, also carefully observing Lin Yuan.


    "Oh? You became an ordinary member of the Devil Jade Tower byprehending 3,333 evolutionary paths? Your insight is impressive."


    Shen Ji''s tone carried a hint of surprise. Comprehending 3,333 evolutionary paths was no easy feat and took far more time than perfecting a single path.


    Unless one had very strong insight, few chose this method to join the Devil Jade Tower.


    Simrly, such ordinary members were more highly regarded by the Devil Jade Tower than those who perfected a single evolutionary path.


    "By luck," Lin Yuan replied immediately.


    He instinctively felt that directly cultivating andprehending evolutionary paths was too dangerous. Besides,prehending multiple evolutionary paths also increased his foundation.


    "Alright, if you have any questions, feel free to ask," Shen Ji said.


    He was quite satisfied with Lin Yuan, mainly because it had been so long since a trainee came, giving him someone to chat with and relieve his boredom.


    Moreover, Lin Yuan''s insight was quite good. No matter how long it took, a million years or tens of millions of years, as long as he couldprehend 3,333 evolutionary paths, his insight was certainly top-notch.


    Without sufficient insight, no matter how much time was spent, it would be impossible toprehend so many evolutionary paths.


    "Senior Shen Ji," Lin Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "How do I undergo this training?"


    Lin Yuan only received basic information from the Devil Jade Mark. Entering the Devil Jade Space, he could gain corresponding rewards through training.


    As for how to train and what rewards to get, it was unclear.


    "It''s simple."


    "Do you see this nine-story tower?" Shen Ji exined patiently, "Each floor you pass grants you a reward left by the great owner of the Devil Jade Tower."


    "Rewards left by the owner of the Devil Jade Tower?" Lin Yuan''s heart moved.


    "The higher the floor, the greater the rewards," Shen Ji added. "But don''t get your hopes up too high. Normally, life at the eighth rank would find it incredibly hard to pass the first floor. From the seventh floor onwards, only life at the twelfth rank can attempt it."


    "Twelfth rank?" Lin Yuan''s heart skipped a beat.


    In the main world''s universe, the twelfth rank had many names.


    Ultimate existence, Supreme Beings or the strongest ones.


    ording to Shen Ji, even the strongest ones only had a chance to pass the seventh floor, with the eighth and ninth floors still beyond.


    "What specific rewards?" Lin Yuan was curious.


    "I don''t know. The rewards left by the owner are confidential, even I don''t know," Shen Ji exined patiently.


    Over countless years, he had been too lonely. Now, facing an eighth-rank youngster, he was almost ''answering every question.''


    In front of the towering nine-story ck tower.


    Shen Ji led Lin Yuan to the entrance.


    Further in would be the first floor of the nine-story ck tower.


    "Little one, just keep walking forward. Reach the ck stairs, and you will have passed the first floor. Beyond that is the second floor."


    Shen Ji instructed.


    The entrance of the nine-story ck tower was hundreds of miles wide. Lin Yuan nced around and turned back to ask Shen Ji, "Senior Shen Ji, what strength is needed to pass the first floor?"


    "Generally, only ninth-rank beings have a chance to pass the first floor. For eighth-rank beings? Comprehending theplete space rules also makes it possible."


    Shen Ji spoke gently.


    To him, Lin Yuan had no hope of passing the first floor, but having someone to chat with was enough.


    Lin Yuan was an ordinary member of the Devil Jade Tower, holding the Devil Jade Mark, and could enter the Devil Jade Space at any time.


    "Comprehending theplete space rules?"


    Lin Yuan was shocked.


    An eighth-rank beingprehending theplete space rules... was far more difficult than bing an eighth-rank invincible.


    In the main world''s cosmic void, there were some eighth-rank invincibles. Human civilization, other peak races, even powerful races and ordinary races.


    All had eighth-rank invincibles.


    But an eighth-rank beingprehending theplete space rules? It had happened.


    But only one would be born over long ages.


    "Of course, if you haveprehended some cosmic power, and it''s powerful enough, you also have a chance to pass the first floor."


    Shen Ji added.


    Implying that ordinary cosmic power had no chance of passing the first floor.


    "That''s good."


    Lin Yuan was slightly relieved.


    If hecked anything, it wasn''t cosmic power.


    In fact, during the eighth traversal, he stayed in the Spirit Realm for 920 years.


    If Lin Yuan hadn''t spent so much timeprehending the power of creation.


    He might haveprehended 7,782 core space models, mastering theplete space rules.


    But Lin Yuan never regretted his decision. Complete space rules? With Lin Yuan''s insight, he couldprehend them given enough time.


    But the power of creation? After leaving the Spirit Realm, who knew how long it would be before encountering another world unrestricted by cosmic power.


    "Go on in." Shen Ji stood at the entrance.


    "Alright." Lin Yuan didn''t hesitate and entered the first floor of the nine-story ck tower.


    Shen Ji watched Lin Yuan enter the tower.


    "I wonder how long he canst. But joining the Devil Jade Pavilion byprehending 3,333 evolutionary paths, even at the eighth rank, there''s hope of passing the first floor."


    Shen Ji thought, seeing the first floor''s scene in front of him.


    As the guardian of the nine-story ck tower, Shen Ji had many rights to prevent cheating during the training.


    Such as using ''external forces.''


    The owner of the Devil Jade Tower created this space for training members.


    Using external forces would lose the training effect, resulting in Shen Ji expelling them, never to return.

 Chapter 279

    Chapter 279


    Nine-story ck Tower.


    First floor.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared.


    The surroundings were incredibly spacious, with only the ck staircase in the center standing out.


    Lin Yuan understood that only by reaching that ck staircase could he be considered to have passed the first floor of the ck Tower.


    Following the ck staircase, one could also enter the second floor of the ck Tower.


    Buzz.


    After thinking for a while, Lin Yuan strode towards the ck staircase in the center.


    The next moment, a heavy pressure enveloped him from all directions.Lin Yuan felt his mental will start to copse; the intangible and immaterial pressure almost tore him apart.


    "Right now, I don''t have a physical body or even soul power. To withstand the pressure, I can only rely onwprehension or cosmic power."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself as he tried to operate the spatialws,pressing the space around him, but unfortunately, Lin Yuan''sprehension of the spatialws was limited, and the intangible pressure soon prated through space, descending upon him once again.


    "No wonder Senior Shen Ji said that at leastplete mastery of spatialws is required to pass the first floor."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself, realizing that only withplete mastery of space could one stretch and shorten the length of space at will, making it difficult for any external attack tond on oneself.


    "An eighth-Rank life form trying to pass the first floor is too difficult." Outside the nine-story ck Tower, a humanoid statue watched Lin Yuan''s every move inside the tower.


    "Master initially set the requirement that those at the peak of the eighth Rank can enter here to train."


    "But out of tens of thousands or even millions of eighth-Rank peaks, perhaps only one might pass the first floor."


    The humanoid statue Shen Ji thought to himself. When Lin Yuan operated the spatialws, he knew that the other party had not mastered theplete spatialws.


    Under such circumstances, the probability of passing the first floor of the ck Tower decreased again.


    "Hmm?"


    "Cosmic power? This little guy indeed mastered a type of cosmic power."


    The humanoid statue Shen Ji watched with great interest, "This cosmic power, Yin and Yang merging into one, is advanced cosmic power? And it has been cultivated to the third realm?"


    "Interesting, but just relying on these, it''s still very difficult to pass the first floor."


    The humanoid statue Shen Ji spected, but at this moment, his interest was already piqued. Having mastered an advanced cosmic power cultivated to the third realm, Lin Yuan could at least hold out on the first floor for a long time.


    First floor of the ck Tower.


    Lin Yuan noticed that the spatialws could not block the heavy pressure enveloping him.


    Without hesitation, he activated the power of Tai Chi.


    The ck and white Yin-Yang Tai Chi power formed a barrier on his body surface, blocking all the pressure outside.


    "Finally stabilized."


    Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.


    He was really afraid he couldn''t even pass the first floor.


    Although with the Devil Jade Mark, Lin Yuan had unlimited chances to try again.


    But if he couldn''t pass the first floor at the beginning, the difficulty of the subsequent floors could be imagined.


    "The training in the ck Tower relies only on oneself. Either masterplete spatialws or other pirws, or master powerful enough cosmic power."


    Lin Yuan concluded.


    What he didn''t know was that there was a third way, which was to use external power.


    Some special treasures could be brought into the mind, but the Devil Jade Tower''s master disliked relying on external power during training, specifically having the humanoid statue Shen Ji supervise the training process.


    Lin Yuan continued walking towards the ck staircase in the center.


    As he approached the target, the pressure enveloping him grew heavier.


    But Lin Yuan could barely resist it with the power of Tai Chi.


    Until¡ª


    Whoosh.


    The intangible pressure almost solidified, forming terrifying creatures that charged at Lin Yuan, eventually crashing into the Tai Chi barrier and turning into dust.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan frowned.


    As a terrifying creature collided with the Tai Chi barrier, he clearly felt the barrier shake.


    "This won''t work."


    Lin Yuan realized that he couldn''t let those terrifying creatures touch the Tai Chi barrier.


    "Limitless power."


    "And the power of destruction."


    Lin Yuan used four or five kinds of advanced cosmic power in session, actively hunting those terrifying creatures formed by the intangible pressure.


    Rumble.


    The vast limitless power spread around, and the power of destruction began to cleanse.


    During this time, Lin Yuan interspersed the use of other cosmic powers, asionally using dozens of ordinary cosmic powers.


    "This is much easier." A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face. Thebination of various cosmic powers often produced greater effects.


    The Immortal King Lingxu of the spirit realm had onlyprehended one advanced creation power and six ordinary creation powers, but thetter, whenbined, was no less effective than the advanced creation power.


    Lin Yuan mastered more ordinary cosmic powers, and theirbination was even more perfect. Along the way, he almost crushed his way to the ck staircase in the center.


    "Senior Shen Ji said that the faster you pass the first floor, the richer the rewards."


    Lin Yuan quickened his pace. The intangible pressure around him grew heavier, and more and more illusory creatures condensed, but under the sweeping cooperation of the active cosmic powers, Lin Yuan didn''t even stop his steps.


    Soon.


    When he was a hundred meters away from the ck staircase in the center.


    A nearly substantial ck eight-legged creature condensed, and its terrifying aura covered the sky.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan finally stopped his steps.


    He felt a faint threat from the ck eight-legged creature.


    "Quick battle, no holding back."


    Lin Yuan didn''t want to waste time on the ck eight-legged creature and just wanted to pass the first floor quickly to see what rewards there would be.


    So he went all out without hesitation.


    Rumble.


    Dozens of cosmic powers mixed.


    Among them, a trace of cosmic power was incredibly profound, vaguely exuding a primordial aura, which was the primordial power that surpassed advanced cosmic power.


    In the spirit realm, for over nine hundred years, if it weren''t for the help of the primordial stone that fell from the Ninth Heaven, even with Unrivaled Insight, it would have been difficult for Lin Yuan toprehend this mysterious power that surpassed advanced cosmic power.


    The first realm of primordial power, its might almost surpassed the third realm of advanced cosmic power.


    Whoosh.


    The nearly substantial ck eight-legged creature, in itsst moment of life, let out a furious roar, and then under the crushing of various cosmic powers, turned into dust.


    "Quickly go."


    Lin Yuan continued to stride towards the ck staircase in the center.


    The first floor of the ck Tower had spatial restrictions, making teleportation or spacepression impossible, and even flying was not feasible. Lin Yuan could only walk to reach the target.


    "There shouldn''t be any more blocking creatures, right?" Lin Yuan kept walking, but he was a bit worried.


    Now, he had revealed all his cards, even using primordial power. At least in terms of mental will, he had no stronger means.


    In fact, thinking carefully, there was still one.


    That was the physical divine ability ''enhancement''.


    Once Lin Yuan activated this divine ability, his physical body, soul, mental will, and everything else would be enhanced tenfold.


    At this moment, even with only mental will, it would be enhanced by ''enhancement''.


    But this divine ability was ast-resort card, and after using it, there would be a short period of weakness. Lin Yuan wouldn''t use it unless absolutely necessary.


    Outside the nine-story ck Tower.


    The humanoid statue Shen Ji, who had been watching Lin Yuan''s training with great interest, had fallen silent at some point.


    He watched Lin Yuan, who was charging towards the ck staircase in the center like a hot knife through butter, and his just-awakened brain turned into mush again.


    What did he see? An eighth-Rank life form charging through the training of the tower?


    This was unbelievable to the humanoid statue Shen Ji. He had guarded the nine-story ck Tower for countless years, witnessing the most brilliant geniuses during the peak of the Devil Jade Tower.


    But even the strongest geniuses in the eighth-Rank life form, when trying to pass the first floor of the ck Tower, had to be extremely cautious and progress slowly.


    Even those who masteredplete spatialws were no exception.


    As for ''charging''? Indeed.


    The faster one passed the training, the richer the rewards.


    The humanoid statue Shen Ji would inform each trainee.


    But it was just a notification.


    It was like saying ''If you work hard, you might be the strongest one someday.''


    Just words of encouragement.


    Passing the first floor as an eighth-Rank life form was already very difficult.


    Who cared about ''speed''?


    "One cosmic power, two cosmic powers, three cosmic powers..."


    The humanoid statue Shen Ji was numb from counting. The cosmic powers that Lin Yuan used fell into his eyes one by one.


    But the more he saw, the more shocked he was.


    Where had there ever been an eighth-Rank life form that mastered dozens of cosmic powers at the same time? Was this even reasonable?


    Was this still an eighth-Rank life form?


    The humanoid statue Shen Ji fell into self-doubt.


    He even spected whether some earth-shattering changes had urred in the outside world while he was asleep, making theprehension of cosmic power easier?


    But no matter how much easier, it was still cosmic power!


    "Hmm?"


    "That cosmic power?"


    The humanoid statue Shen Ji''s pupils contracted slightly, his eyes fixed on a certain floating cosmic power.


    This cosmic power exuded a primordial aura, precisely the primordial power.


    "Advanced cosmic power? No, this is not advanced cosmic power!" The humanoid statue Shen Ji was stunned.


    Cosmic power is divided into two types.


    One is ordinary cosmic power.


    The other is advanced cosmic power.


    In fact, even within ordinary cosmic powers and advanced cosmic powers, there are strengths and weaknesses.


    Some ordinary and advanced cosmic powers are simply stronger than others of the same level.


    But the difference is limited.


    Now, the primordial power that the humanoid statue was watching was fundamentally above all advanced cosmic powers.


    "Primordial cosmic power, this is Primordial cosmic power."


    The humanoid statue Shen Ji''s mind was nk.


    Primordial cosmic power is legendary for eighth-Rank life forms.


    Eighth-Rank life forms mightprehend cosmic power, but it generally referred to ordinary or advanced cosmic power.


    Even advanced cosmic power is rare.


    As for an eighth-Rank life formprehending Primordial cosmic power, even though the humanoid statue had followed the Devil Jade Tower''s master, he had only heard of it.


    Such a monstrous talent, even in the peak period of the Devil Jade Tower, would immediately be taken as a personal disciple by the master and cultivated with utmost effort.


    But Lin Yuan not only did it, but alsoprehended dozens of other cosmic powers, including more than ten advanced cosmic powers.


    "Master, if only you had disappearedter..." The humanoid statue Shen Ji trembled inside. A being whoprehended Primordial power at the eighth-Rank life form, with a bit of cultivation, would probably be able to dominate a region in less than a million years.


    First floor of the ck Tower.


    The worries Lin Yuan had didn''t happen.


    After crushing the ck eight-legged creature, there were no more substantial obstacles.


    Lin Yuan easily arrived at the central staircase.


    Whoosh.


    The humanoid statue Shen Ji appeared there.


    He stared straight at Lin Yuan as if looking at a rare treasure.


    "Senior Shen Ji," Lin Yuan tentatively asked, "Did I pass the first floor quickly?"


    Knowing that the faster one passed the tower, the richer the rewards, Lin Yuan had almost given his all just now.


    Except for the physical divine ability ''enhancement,'' he had gone all out.


    "Quick?" The humanoid statue Shen Ji fell silent again.


    This wasn''t just quick; among eighth-Rank life forms, Lin Yuan''s speed on the first floor was indisputably the fastest, with a gap as vast as the sky between him and the second.


    "Very fast."


    The humanoid statue Shen Ji took a deep breath, calming his inner shock.


    "That''s good."


    Lin Yuan felt relieved. Going all out, he believed no eighth-Rank powerhouse in the main world universe could match him.


    But the Devil Jade Tower wasn''t a force of the main world but came from outside the universe, so Lin Yuan was still humble.


    "With your potential, you can choose three rewards from all the rewards on the first floor." The humanoid statue Shen Ji said.


    Normally, passing the first floor of the ck Tower would grant one treasure, with the value determined by the speed and potential shown.


    Lin Yuan''s mastery of Primordial cosmic power, along with over ten advanced cosmic powers and dozens of ordinary cosmic powers, far exceeded Shen Ji''s limits.


    So he simply listed all the treasures on the first floor for Lin Yuan to choose from, increasing the quantity from one to three.


    This was the maximum authority Shen Ji had.


    "Alright."


    Lin Yuan was expectant.


    "But before choosing the treasures, there''s one more process." The humanoid statue took out a ck mirror.


    "This mirror can sense the traces of time and roughly estimate your true age."


    The humanoid statue said.


    This was also a measure of potential. The same passing speed, the younger the age, the higher the potential.


    "But don''t worry, it''s just a formality. With your mastery of cosmic power, even if you''re five million years old, it won''t affect the final rewards."


    The humanoid statue said.


    The lifespan limit for eighth-Rank life forms is five million years.


    This five million years is the maximum lifespan after all kinds of life-extending methods.


    Ordinary eighth-Rank life forms would live about a million years before reaching the end of their life.


    What Shen Ji meant was that no matter how old Lin Yuan was, just mastering Primordial cosmic power was enough to overlook everything else.


    After speaking, the humanoid statue activated the ck mirror.


    Immediately, a hazy light enveloped Lin Yuan, and some ancient characters appeared on the mirror.


    The humanoid statue nced casually, to him, determining Lin Yuan''s age was meaningless.


    If it weren''t for the rules set by the Devil Jade Tower''s master, he would have already listed the rewards for Lin Yuan to choose from.


    While Shen Ji was thinking about which three rewards Lin Yuan would choose,


    He nced casually at the ancient characters on the ck mirror.


    In an instant, his expression froze again.


    He carefully examined the characters on the mirror, then turned to Lin Yuan with disbelief.


    "You''re only two thousand years old? An eighth-Rank life form at two thousand years old? Comprehending dozens of cosmic powers at two thousand years old? Comprehending Primordial cosmic power at two thousand years old?"


    The humanoid statue Shen Ji felt his understanding of the world copsing.

 Chapter 280

    Chapter 280


    "Over two thousand years old?" Lin Yuan also carefully observed the ck mirror.


    He had experienced eight transmigrations of the Gate of Myriad Realms, staying each time for twenty years, eighty years, one hundred sixty years, three hundred years, five hundred years, six hundred years, thirty years, and nine hundred twenty years.


    The total time spent was two thousand six hundred ten years. If you add the time in the main world, Lin Yuan''s precise age was two thousand six hundred thirty years.


    This precise age refers to the age of his mental will, which is the fundamental measure of a being''s true age.


    As for the age of the physical body or the soul? These cannot fundamentally measure the true years a being has lived.


    After all, the physical body can be reced, and the soul can be discarded. Only the mental will and true spirit are the core of life.


    "It actually calctes my real age so precisely?" Lin Yuan was a bit surprised.


    Previously, when he met the Strongest one Xia Qin, thetter also sensed Lin Yuan''s true age, but it was far less precise than this mirror.


    Xia Qin, the Strongest one, mastered theplete timews, so it was not surprising that he could perceive the true time Lin Yuan had experienced.But this mirror?


    "It must be a treasure rted to timews." Lin Yuan spected.


    Time treasures contain the power of time, and only those who fully master timews can refine them.


    "How did you cultivate? In just over two thousand years, not only did you reach the eighth rank? You alsoprehended so many cosmic powers?" The humanoid statue Shen Ji couldn''t understand, "Have you never encountered bottlenecks?"


    The humanoid statue Shen Ji felt it was a bit absurd.


    With the talent Lin Yuan had shown, even at four million or five million years old, it would be incredible. But at just over two thousand years old? What can one aplish in two thousand years? Can oneprehend even a single cosmic power?


    At this moment, the humanoid statue had many spections in his mind.


    For example, was there a problem with the ck mirror?


    Or was Lin Yuan a legendary time lifeform?


    The former was almost impossible. The ck mirror was refined by the master of Devil Jade Tower, containingplete timews. Even if there was an issue with this training space, it would not have a problem.


    As for thetter, time lifeforms are born within the river of time. They exist in the past, present, and future, with time leaving no marks on them. Could this have allowed Lin Yuan to escape the ck mirror''s detection?


    But even for someone as great as the master of Devil Jade Tower, time lifeforms were only heard of, never seen.


    The more the humanoid statue Shen Ji thought about it, the more he found it hard to understand.


    Even the most abnormal genius should at least conform to basic logic, right? But Lin Yuan shattered his worldview.


    What the humanoid statue Shen Ji didn''t know was that eighth-rank strength and dozens of cosmic powers were only part of Lin Yuan''s achievements over two thousand years.


    Lin Yuan''s greatest achievement was developing the martial evolution path, which was his true heart and soul.


    The martial evolution path is Lin Yuan''s strongest confidence in bing the Strongest one in the future. Whether it''s the spatialws or otherws, or various cosmic powers, they all serve the martial evolution path.


    "Maybe my insight is a bit higher than others?" Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said.


    "A bit higher?" The humanoid statue Shen Ji was silent. Is this a bit?


    "Alright, I don''t care how you did it. The talent and potential you''ve shown allow you to choose three treasures from the rewards of the first floor and second floor of the ck Tower."


    The humanoid statue Shen Ji said.


    Normally, those who passed the first floor of Devil Jade Tower''s training would randomly receive a treasure from the first floor. This treasure would typically be of mid to low value among all the rewards on the first floor.


    But Lin Yuan had used dozens of cosmic powers, including a primordial cosmic power. His potential was beyond the humanoid statue''s imagination, so he decided to let Lin Yuan choose any three treasures from the first floor.


    Choosing at will, and three at that.


    It''s much better than being randomly given a reward.


    But now.


    After learning that Lin Yuan was only just over two thousand years old, the humanoid statue extended the selection range to include the rewards of both the first and second floors.


    The master of Devil Jade Tower had set up a separate reward pool for each floor when creating this training space. The higher the floor, the richer and rarer the rewards.


    The second floor''s reward pool was naturally much higher than the first floor''s.


    Lin Yuan had only passed the first floor but could choose rewards from the second floor''s pool, showing the humanoid statue''s immense shock.


    If the rewards on the second floor weren''t mostly unsuitable for Lin Yuan, the humanoid statue would have likely opened the third floor''s pool for him.


    After the humanoid statue Shen Ji finished speaking, he raised his right hand, and multipleyers of light screens appeared before Lin Yuan.


    They recorded many treasures and rare items.


    "So many treasures?"


    Lin Yuan''s heartbeat elerated. Most of the treasures listed were ones he had never heard of, but the annotations confirmed their immense value.


    In the main world, they would be enough for ninth or tenth-rank powerhouses to fight over.


    For example, the essence gold that the Red Kun Star Lord obtained at great cost was ranked at the bottom of this reward list.


    "Too many, too many."


    Lin Yuan looked through it several times, finding it difficult to choose. Most of the treasures he had never heard of, and while the annotations provided basic exnations, it was hard to fully understand them and determine their suitability.


    "Senior Shen Ji." Lin Yuan looked away from the reward list and nced at the humanoid statue beside him. "Which three treasures should I choose?"


    Lin Yuan found it hard to choose because he didn''t understand these rewards.


    But the humanoid statue Shen Ji, as the guardian of this training space and in charge of the rewards, must be clear about the value of each treasure.


    "You want me to choose for you?" The humanoid statue Shen Ji''s face showed an unusual expression.


    Normally, he wouldn''t bother with such matters, but he had been lonely for so long and was intrigued by Lin Yuan''s unbelievable talent.


    The humanoid statue Shen Ji was willing to offer his suggestions.


    "Are you looking to choose the most valuable treasures, or the ones most suitable for you?"


    The humanoid statue Shen Ji asked, needing to understand Lin Yuan''s needs to provide specific advice.


    "The ones suitable for me," Lin Yuan said without hesitation.


    Most of the treasures on the list Lin Yuan had never heard of, meaning they were likely hard to obtain even in the main world.


    So he wanted to choose the ones most suitable for him, as even the most valuable treasures must be usable to be worthwhile.


    "Then I do have some ideas." The humanoid statue Shen Ji looked at Lin Yuan, thought for a moment, and said seriously, "The most important thing for you now is toprehend theplete spatialws."


    "Comprehend theplete spatialws?" Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.


    "A normal eighth-rank life form indeed does not need toprehend theplete spatialws to break through to the ninth rank." The humanoid statue Shen Ji nced at Lin Yuan.


    "Because of the vastness of spatialws, only a small part needs to beprehended to amodate and integrate otherws."


    The humanoid statue Shen Ji said.


    "Yes." Lin Yuan nodded.


    The Yinws and Yangws need to be fullyprehended before they can be integrated because they are on the same level.


    But spatialws are pirws, vastly more profound than ordinaryws. Integrating ordinaryws with spatialws does not require fullprehension.


    "But this is the normal situation." The humanoid statue Shen Ji sighed, "Even some eighth-rank life forms whoprehend several cosmic powers can break through to the ninth rank, with cosmic powers integrating with ordinaryws into spatialws."


    "Generally, it has little impact."


    The humanoid statue Shen Ji paused, "But you haveprehended too many cosmic powers, including a primordial cosmic power."


    "To step into the ninth rank, you mustprehend theplete spatialws."


    "Onlyplete spatialws can amodate the dozens of cosmic powers you haveprehended."


    The humanoid statue Shen Ji stopped speaking.


    "I see." Lin Yuan suddenly understood.


    No wonder he had recently felt it was strenuous toprehend and integratews. It turned out that his currentprehension of spatialws was insufficient.


    This was not Lin Yuan''s fault. The description of how to step into the ninth rank by the human alliance in the main world did not mention how to integrate dozens of cosmic powers.


    Moreover, Lin Yuan had not exposed the fact that he hadprehended dozens of cosmic powers, so others couldn''t offer advice.


    "So I suggest you choose the first treasure, ''Interpretation of the Void.''" The humanoid statue Shen Ji said slowly.


    "''Interpretation of the Void''?" Lin Yuan''s eyes lit up. He immediately found the introduction of this treasure on the reward list.


    ''Interpretation of the Void'': The Devil Jade Tower master''s interpretation of space.


    The introduction was short. The only thing that caught Lin Yuan''s attention was that it came from the Devil Jade Tower master.


    "Spatialws are vast and infinite. What is calledplete mastery of spatialws is only mastering a part of it. This ''Interpretation of the Void'' written by the master interprets spatialws from another perspective."


    "It should be very useful to you. Even afterprehending theplete spatialws, it will still be effective."


    The humanoid statue looked at Lin Yuan seriously.


    "Alright."


    "I''ll choose this."


    Lin Yuan immediately said.


    The Devil Jade Tower master was such an extraordinary being. Even a few words from him would be invaluable, let alone aplete ''Interpretation of the Void.''


    So after hearing the humanoid statue Shen Ji''s suggestion, Lin Yuan made up his mind.


    "Great."


    The humanoid statue Shen Ji smiled.


    Although Lin Yuan''s talent and aptitude were rare, possibly even surpassing the Devil Jade Tower master at the eighth rank, talent alone needed the right path to be effective.


    There were many treasures in the reward pools of the first and second floors that could greatly enhancebat power.


    But in the path of life''s evolution,bat power was far less important than the evolution of life itself.


    "This is ''Interpretation of the Void,'' the master''s painstaking work. I hope you canprehend it well." The humanoid statue waved his right hand.


    A silver-white book appeared in the air, over a meter high, emitting a faint spatial fluctuation. Lin Yuan gazed at the book, as if seeing the vast spatialws.


    "This..."


    Lin Yuan stared at the silver-white book. Silver-white characters began to leave the book and approach Lin Yuan, all merging into his forehead.


    One by one, the silver-white characters followed. Each character contained vast amounts of information, far beyond what millions of words in humannguage could express.


    When all three thousand three hundred thirty-three silver-white characters merged into Lin Yuan''s forehead, the entire silver-white book began to copse and disappear.


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes.


    Meanwhile.


    On the main star of the Milky Way, Lin Yuan''s true self also closed his eyes.


    In the depths of his mind, the three thousand three hundred thirty-three silver-white characters glowed. Lin Yuan carefully examined each character, realizing the vast amount of deep information they conveyed.


    [Your Unrivaled Insight rapidly enhances your understanding of spatialws as you observe the mysterious characters.]


    [Your Unrivaled Insight rapidly enhances your understanding of spatialws as you observe the mysterious characters.]


    [Your Unrivaled Insight rapidly enhances your understanding of spatialws as you observe the mysterious characters.]


    In every moment, a massive amount of inspiration about space flooded Lin Yuan''s mind. He had never thought that space could beprehended this way. It was not just pure spatialprehension but also involvedprehending the five elements, thunder, light, etc., and then understanding space from the surface to the deep.


    Buzz.


    In just a moment.


    Lin Yuan felt that he hadprehended four core spatial models in session.


    "I''ve hit the jackpot."


    Lin Yuan calmed himself, forcing his attention away from the silver-white characters in his mind.


    "No wonder the Devil Jade Tower master''s interpretation of space is so profound." Lin Yuan was excited.


    "Each character contains endless depth. This is a perspective different from the human civilization''s interpretation of space."


    Lin Yuan took a deep breath.


    He had a feeling that even the Strongest one would be greatly moved by this ''Interpretation of the Void.''


    The Strongest ones haveprehended theplete timews and spatialws, but each one understands them differently.


    Nine-story ck Tower.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes.


    ''Interpretation of the Void'' was currently beingprehended by his true self, who even paused the integration ofws for it. After all, withoutprehending theplete spatialws, the integration of the Tai Chiws and various cosmic powers would be greatly hindered.


    "Alright."


    The humanoid statue Shen Ji looked at Lin Yuan warmly, "As for the second treasure, I suggest you choose this one."


    With a thought, an image appeared before them.


    In the image, a sapling swayed, emanating the power of endless vast worlds.

    ...


    "World Tree sapling?"


    Lin Yuan also found this treasure on the reward list.


    In fact, Lin Yuan had been paying attention to the World Tree sapling for a long time because it was one of the few treasures he knew about.


    In the Main World Universe, the World Tree is a rare and priceless treasure. The World Fruit it bears can help evolvers create an internal world ahead of others of the same rank.


    Even with Lin Yuan''s Unrivaled Insight, he struggled to condense his internal world only when he was at the peak of Rank 6 and about to break through to Rank 7. The World Fruit, however, can directly achieve this, showing the preciousness of the World Tree.


    "Your foundation is terrifyingly deep, having fused dozens of cosmic powers with spatial rules. Your internal world must have a treasure of sufficient weight to stabilize it."


    "The World Tree is perfect for this," said the humanoid statue, Shen Ji.The World Tree has many uses, one of which is to stabilize all energy rules within an internal world. A single World Tree is more valuable than thousands or even tens of thousands of other cosmic treasures. It can even expand the internal world beyond the limit of a million miles, which is usually the maximum for human evolvers.


    "In terms of value, the World Tree sapling ranks in the top three, if not the first, in the reward vaults of both the first and second floors," the humanoid statue said.


    The reason for this "feeling" is that at the level of the World Tree sapling, it''s hard to distinguish the first from the second; it entirely depends on what suits you.


    "Then it''s the World Tree sapling," Lin Yuan nodded.


    Even without Shen Ji''s suggestion, Lin Yuan would most likely have chosen the World Tree sapling in the end. Given human civilization''s understanding of the World Tree, Lin Yuan was eager to own one himself.


    "nting the World Tree sapling in the internal world will generally allow it to grow faster the more profound the internal world''s foundation," said Shen Ji.


    "I understand," Lin Yuan nodded.


    Once the World Tree matures and bears the World Fruit, it will be an incredibly precious treasure. Even if Lin Yuan doesn''t use it himself, he could easily sell it. It''s estimated that even the strongest ones would be willing to pay a price for the World Fruit toy a foundation for their descendants.


    With the World Fruit, even a Rank 6 evolver could create an internal world, simr to a weaker version of the Star Sea Kun.


    "As for the third treasure, I don''t have any suggestions at the moment," Shen Ji said.


    "No suggestions?" Lin Yuan looked at the reward list again.


    Currently, he didn''tck anything and didn''t know which reward to choose. If he chose the wrong one, he might regret it for a long time.


    "Senior Shen Ji, can I save thest reward choice forter?" Lin Yuan asked tentatively.


    Once a reward is chosen, it cannot be exchanged, so Lin Yuan nned to save the choice forter.


    "No problem," Shen Ji nodded.


    If it were during the peak period of the Devil Jade Tower, where practitioners entered the ck Tower constantly, it would be best to choose rewards as early as possible.


    But now, for countless millennia, Lin Yuan has been the only practitioner. It can be predicted that for a long time toe, Lin Yuan will still be the only one. So, there''s no chance of the rewards being chosen by someone else.


    "Do you n to try the second floor?" Shen Ji asked with a smile.


    The first floor of the ck Tower can only be passed byprehendingplete spatial rules or by an eighth-rank life with several powerful cosmic powers. The second floor? It has nothing to do with eighth-rank life; only the very strong among ninth-rank life have a chance of passing it.


    Even though Lin Yuan hadprehended dozens of cosmic powers, including origin-level cosmic powers, he couldn''t pass the second floor of the ck Tower.


    The nature of life matters, and while primordial-level cosmic powers have unlimited potential, Lin Yuan is currently only at Rank 8. Even with primordial-level cosmic powers, it''s impossible to pass the second floor.


    Shen Ji asked if Lin Yuan wanted to try the second floor purely out of boredom, wanting Lin Yuan to stay in this training space a little longer.


    "Yes," Lin Yuan nodded.


    He followed the ck stairs to the second floor of the ck Tower.


    Seeing this, Shen Ji disappeared into the distance and reappeared outside the nine-story ck Tower.


    Scenes from the second floor of the ck Tower appeared before Shen Ji.


    "The pressure has increased significantly."


    In the second floor, Lin Yuan immediately felt the terrifying pressure from all directions. Various cosmic powers operated around him, even the primordial-level cosmic power, primordial Power, circted around him. Lin Yuan took difficult steps toward the ck stairs in the center of the second level.


    Time passed.


    Lin Yuan walked a third of the distance in the blink of an eye.


    But at the next moment, dozens of cosmic powers shattered, including the primordial Power, turning into nothingness.


    Without the protection of these cosmic powers, Lin Yuan''s figure also vanished.


    "Failed?"


    Outside the nine-story ck Tower, Shen Ji showed no surprise. In fact, Lin Yuan walking a third of the distance on the second floor was already remarkable. The second floor is designed for ninth-rank life forms, and many of them can''t do what Lin Yuan did.


    Some strong ninth-rank life forms are even weaker than Lin Yuan in this aspect. Of course, this is only in terms of mental will and cosmic power. Ninth-rank life forms have far more power, but the nine-story ck Tower specifically tests these aspects.


    "It''s a pity you appeared toote. If it were during the time of the master, you would have received far more than these few treasures," Shen Ji sighed.


    With Lin Yuan''s talent, the Devil Jade Tower''s master would have nurtured him like a treasure. But now, they could only use these treasures to help him temporarily.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes again.


    "The second floor is too difficult," Lin Yuan thought. Based on his experience on the first floor, after walking a third of the distance, he would encounter illusory creatures. But Lin Yuan didn''t even see the creatures before being crushed by the omnipresent pressure.


    "If Iprehend the spatial rules, could I pass the second floor?" Lin Yuan wondered.


    Comprehendingplete spatial rules wouldn''t allow him to move or teleport in the second floor. But mastering spatial rules would enable him to greatly reduce the heavy pressure.


    Spatial rules are mysterious, and with them, Lin Yuan could stretch the space around him, significantly reducing the pressure.


    "Even if Iprehendplete spatial rules, the hope of passing the second floor is still slim," Lin Yuan shook his head.


    ording to Shen Ji, the second floor is designed for ninth-rank life forms, and only the very strong among them can pass. This means most ninth-rank life forms have no hope of passing the second floor.


    Many ninth-rank life forms who masterplete spatial rules still can''t pass the second level.


    "I have another trump card, the divine ability ''Enhancement''," Lin Yuan thought.


    He didn''t use ''Enhancement'' during his attempt because it would have been meaningless. He was only a third of the way through, and ''Enhancement''sts only ten breaths, not enough to cover the remaining distance.


    "I''ll try againter," Lin Yuan gathered his thoughts.


    The rewards of the nine-story ck Tower are too valuable for Lin Yuan to pass up. Even if he can''t pass the second floor at Rank 8, he will try again at Rank 9.


    "World Tree," Lin Yuan focused, looking at the sapling in front of him with burning eyes.


    "The Devil Jade Tower''s master has reached an incredible level in spatial abilities, directly sending the World Tree sapling through the Devil Jade Mark," Lin Yuan marveled.


    Only a sliver of Lin Yuan''s mental will entered the Devil Jade Space, unable to bring back physical objects. Even though the Devil Jade Space is far from the Main World, this feat amazed Lin Yuan.


    It was like the Gate of Myriad Realms. The Gate of Myriad Realms can transport objects between the Main World and other worlds with enough Boundary Breaking source Energy, surpassing the Devil Jade Tower''s master.


    However, the Devil Jade Space and the Main World are in the same dimension, unlike the Gate of Myriad Realms, which transcends dimensions and surpasses spatial concepts.


    "Quickly nt the World Tree in the internal world," Lin Yuan thought, bringing the World Tree sapling into his internal world.


    In the center of his vast internal world of billions of miles, Lin Yuan ced the half-meter-tall sapling on the ground.


    The World Tree''s roots began to burrow into the soil, slowly absorbing the world''s power.


    "Interesting feeling," Lin Yuan noticed.


    When the World Tree rooted in the internal world, Lin Yuan felt a strange sensation, as if the sapling was his own blood descendant.


    "It''s absorbing the world''s power," Lin Yuan sensed the sapling slowly absorbing the power into its trunk.


    As the world''s power entered the sapling, Lin Yuan felt he was quickly refining the World Tree sapling.


    "No changes," Lin Yuan observed his internal world, finding the sapling had no immediate effect.


    "Take it slow," Lin Yuan understood that the sapling was too small to impact his vast internal world immediately.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    After settling the World Tree sapling, Lin Yuan began studying "Interpretation of the Void."


    Human civilization''s evolution schrs dividedplete spatial rules into basic and core spatial models. Comprehending these models allows mastery of spatial rules.


    However, space rules are vast, and thousands or tens of thousands of models can''t epass the true spatial rules. The basic and core models are just attempts by human evolvers to understand space.


    The Devil Jade Tower''s master wrote "Interpretation of the Void" from a different perspective, interpreting spatial rules as the origin of all things, including various rules like the Five Elements, Thunder, and Light.


    "Spatial rules can be understood this way?" Lin Yuan was fascinated, constantly having insights.


    His understanding of spatial models deepened, quicklyprehending the 6000th core spatial model and progressing toward the 7000th.


    Battlefield B0001.


    This medium-sized battlefield is the oldest, where human civilization fought the peak race, the Tianyu n. The Tianyu n resembles humans, typically five to ten meters tall, with white wings symbolizing their status and potential.


    For two million years, human evolvers and the Tianyu n fought fiercely, with more intense wars than those against the Insect Race. Daily, many human evolvers and Tianyu n warriors die in battle.


    Currently, dozens of invincible Rank 8 evolvers gathered, discussing strategies against the Tianyu n.


    "In a few years, the Tianyu n willunch a full-scale war to im that star domain," said a short, stout Rank 8 invincible, speaking gravely.


    Human civilization created battlefields to contain the war''s impact. Fighting in space would destroy manys, and even if they won, they would inherit a devastated star domain.


    Previously, Lin Yuan went to the Milky Way Star Domain to take over as star lord, a domain previously belonging to the Shadow n. The Shadow n lost the war and ceded the domain, as agreed by the major alliances.


    Now, the uing war between human civilization and the Tianyu n will decide the ownership of a vast star domain.


    "The Tianyu n is well-prepared and determined to take that star domain, mobilizing many invincible Rank 8s. Our chances are slim," said a woman in green.


    It''s not that human civilization is weaker, but many evolvers were recently mobilized for another war, leaving fewer for this one.


    "I have a suggestion," an invincible Rank 8 spoke up.


    "Go ahead," the stout elder said, troubled by the uing war.


    "Recently, the Milky Way Star Lord defeated five invincible Rank 8s, repelling three and killing two, earning great fame," said the third invincible Rank 8.


    "My suggestion is to invite the Milky Way Star Lord, no matter the cost," he continued, looking around at the others.

 Chapter 282

    Chapter 282


    "Invite the Milky Way Star Lord."


    The other invincible Rank 8 evolvers exchanged nces.


    The B0001 battlefield is the oldest medium-sized battlefield, gathering many evolvers from human civilization and powerful members of the Tianyu n. In terms of war intensity, the B0001 battlefield is second only to therge-scale alien battlefields.


    It frequently sees battles involving invincible Rank 8 beings. Human civilization has deployed dozens of invincible Rank 8 evolvers on this battlefield.


    Even beyond the invincible Rank 8s, there are Rank 9 powerhouses who keep an eye on it. However, whether on the human side or the Tianyu n side, Rank 9 powerhouses rarely intervene.


    Once a Rank 9 enters the field, the nature of the battle changes, and the entire battlefield could be torn apart. The major alliances of peak races in the cosmic space generally restrain Rank 9 powerhouses from taking action, except onrge-scale battlefields.


    Previously, human civilization deployed several Rank 9 evolvers to clean out powerful groups within the Insect Race Alliance because the Insect Race had openly broken their truce.


    "Inviting the Milky Way Star Lord might work," the invincible Rank 8 evolvers agreed.


    As invincible Rank 8s, they naturally held immense pride, but none doubted the Milky Way Star Lord''s prowess. In the battle for the Milky Way Star Domain, the Milky Way Star Lord had faced five invincible Rank 8 aliens, killing two.Such ferocity left no room for doubt. The Milky Way Star Lord had raised the power ceiling for invincible Rank 8s and shattered the myth of their invincibility. He was vaguely regarded as the first Rank 8 evolver in human civilization''s history.


    "But what price should we pay to invite the Milky Way Star Lord?" a woman in green asked.


    Given the Milky Way Star Lord''s strength, he could indeed turn the tide of the battlefield, at least by holding off a significant portion of the Tianyu n''s invincible Rank 8s.


    This would put human civilization in an unassable position. The question was the cost. If it was too low, the Milky Way Star Lord wouldn''t bother. If too high, it would be unreasonable. They didn''t know what price would be sufficient to invite him.


    "I propose we offer one-tenth of the total merits for the uing war on this battlefield," the stout figure said solemnly.


    "One-tenth of the total merits?" The other invincible Rank 8 evolvers were shocked.


    The total merits on a battlefield involve a vast number of merit points. Why do star lords constantly open and take over alien battlefields? Is it purely for the service of human civilization?


    Naturally, it''s because taking over an alien battlefield brings immense benefits, with merit points being the most crucial.


    "As long as we don''t lose to the Tianyu n, it''s worth it," the invincible Rank 8 evolvers agreed after some thought. Losing to the Tianyu n would require them to pay a huge price, possibly losing even their avatars.


    "In that case, I''ll contact the Goddess of Freedom to ry the offer to the Milky Way Star Lord," the stout figure said.


    Mobilizing an invincible Rank 8, especially a legendary one like Lin Yuan, required the Goddess of Freedom''s consent. The agreed price also needed her to notarize it, showing their sincerity to the Milky Way Star Lord.


    Devil Jade Space.


    Second floor of the ck Tower.


    Lin Yuan appeared again, with invisible, oppressive pressure assaulting from all directions.


    "Using multiple cosmic powers to counteract the pressure can help me develop more techniques for cosmic power," Lin Yuan thought.


    Since hisst failure in the second floor, he asionally returned to the nine-story ck Tower via the Devil Jade Mark. He used the pressure from the second floor to hone his use of various cosmic powers.


    In the main world, cosmic power is unique to Rank 8 life forms, so there''s no technique for its use. But in the spirit realm, many supreme Immortal Kings mastered multiple creation powers, and theirbinations often produced greater power.


    The nine-story ck Tower''s environment was specifically designed forprehending cosmic powers and spatial rules. With his Unrivaled Insight, Lin Yuan could continuously adapt and better understand the techniques for using cosmic powers.


    Of course, Lin Yuan treated this as a pastime whileprehending spatial rules, a way to rx.


    Outside the nine-story ck Tower.


    The humanoid statue Shen Ji watched Lin Yuan''s performance in the second floor.


    "This little guy is using the master''s training ground as a stepping stone?" Shen Ji shook his head.


    "But that''s good. I''m looking forward to seeing what he will achieve in the future," Shen Ji said, watching Lin Yuan in the screen.


    Momentster, Lin Yuan voluntarily withdrew, being expelled from the nine-story ck Tower.


    "How was it, kid?" Shen Ji asked with a smile.


    "I''ve made some gains," Lin Yuan said, understating his progress. In reality, he had justprehended techniques for using six cosmic powers, including three high-floor cosmic powers.


    "Experiencing the essence of cosmic power more deeply will greatly benefit your future transformation of your internal world into an internal universe," Shen Ji said.


    "Internal universe," Lin Yuan''s expression became serious.


    Why is it that the cosmic powersprehended by invincible Rank 8s are so beneficial for Rank 9 cultivation? It''s because cosmic power is the fundamental force of the main world universe.


    Comprehending it at Rank 8 and integrating it into one''s core rules can transform the internal world to contain a trace of the universe''s fundamental power. This will aid in the future sublimation of the internal world into an internal universe.


    "With the cosmic powers you have mastered, plus the World Tree''s suppression, sublimating your internal world into an internal universe should be easy. The only question is what kind of internal universe it will be," Shen Ji said, looking at Lin Yuan.


    Even internal universes vary in strength. Shen Ji was curious about the level of Lin Yuan''s future internal universe, given his dozens of ordinary cosmic powers, more than ten high-level cosmic powers, and one primordial-level cosmic power. What kind of internal universe would it form?


    "It''s a pity your species'' limit isn''t high. Even if youprehend theplete spatial rules, your internal world will be at most a million miles in radius. If it could be a bitrger..." Shen Jiughed, realizing his thoughts were unnecessary.


    Even with a million-mile radius, integrating so many cosmic powers could turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.


    Lin Yuan was about to speak when his expression changed slightly.


    "The Goddess of Freedom is looking for me?" Lin Yuan thought.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    The voice of the Goddess of Freedom suddenly sounded in Lin Yuan''s ear.


    "Honorable Schr Lin Yuan."


    Compared to the solemn and cool voice of the Goddess of Wisdom, the Goddess of Freedom''s voice was filled with coldness and killing intent, making it very recognizable.


    "Goddess of Freedom" Lin Yuan responded respectfully.


    In human civilization, the status of the three goddesses is no less than that of the nine strongest ones. Over two million years, the three ultimate intelligent goddesses have made indelible contributions.


    Soon, the Goddess of Freedom conveyed the invitation from the B0001 alien battlefield to Lin Yuan.


    "You want me to go to this alien battlefield to fight against the many powerhouses of the Tianyu n?" Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.


    "As long as I agree, I will receive one-tenth of the total merits for the uing war?" Lin Yuan was intrigued.


    The B0001 alien battlefield had numerous powerful human civilization and Tianyu n members, involving a vast amount of merits. Even one-tenth would likely be in the millions.


    "Just one action, and I could earn millions of merit points?" Lin Yuan thought.


    With his strength, he would naturally act at the most critical moment to turn the tide, so he would likely only need to act once.


    "Goddess of Freedom, will there be Rank 9 or higher powerhouses on this battlefield?" Lin Yuan asked.


    "Medium-sized alien battlefields rarely see Rank 9 or higher powerhouses. Even if they appear, human civilization''s Rank 9 or higher evolvers will step in," the Goddess of Freedom replied coldly.


    "Will there be any unexpected dangers, like alien powerhouses cursing all my avatars?" Lin Yuan continued to ask.


    Personal safety is paramount. If he had to risk his life for some merit points, Lin Yuan wouldn''t agree. He had stable ways to earn merit points and didn''t need to take unnecessary risks.


    "As the first medium-sized alien battlefield, it will have the attention of the strongest ones. Schr Lin Yuan only needs to focus on dealing with the Rank 8 aliens," the Goddess of Freedom assured him.


    Given Lin Yuan''s importance to human civilization, the Goddess of Freedom had thoroughly evaluated the risks before agreeing to his participation, ensuring no real danger to his life.


    Previously, when Lin Yuan hadn''t reached Rank 7, the Goddess of Wisdom had prevented him from going to medium-sized alien battlefields because of potential dangers.


    "Only Rank 8 aliens" Lin Yuan smiled.


    "I agree" he nodded.


    With his current strength, he was not only the strongest Rank 8 in human civilization''s history but also possibly unmatched by any Rank 8 in the cosmic races'' history.


    In the Milky Way Star Domain battle, Lin Yuan hadn''t been at full strength and hadn''t shown his full power. Even so, it had shocked human civilization and the surrounding alien races even more.


    Lin Yuan''s truebat power had long surpassed the Rank 9 threshold. His exact level within Rank 9 would only be known after a real battle.


    Upon Lin Yuan''s agreement, the Goddess of Freedom immediately contacted the invincible Rank 8 evolvers on the B0001 battlefield. They were to meet in the virtual world soon to discuss the specific requirements for his action.


    "Interpretation of the Void."


    Lin Yuan resumed studying the book left by the master of the Devil Jade Tower.


    "It''s truly profound," Lin Yuan was fascinated. "Interpretation of the Void" contained 3,333 characters, each seemingly holding endless information. Each time he studied it, he found new spatial essences in the same character.


    Lin Yuan spent several days studying.


    "The 7,132nd spatial model."


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes and moved his mind, gathering strands of spatial power to form an incrediblyplex spatial model before him.


    "Just over 500 spatial models left to fullyprehend spatial rules," Lin Yuan exhaled, feeling the mental fatigue. The level of "Interpretation of the Void" was too high for Lin Yuan to study for long periods without significant mental strain. This wasn''t due to his Unrivaled Insight but his own mental capacity.


    "Let''s check the virtual world," Lin Yuan decided to rx by connecting to the virtual world.


    "Creator Virtual World" Lin Yuan entered the special virtual world designed for the creators of various evolutionary paths in human civilization to interact.


    Soon after Lin Yuan entered the creator world, Grand Schr Tai Ah appeared beside him.


    The public area of the creator world was open to every creator.


    "Kid, haven''t seen you online for a long time," Grand Schr Tai Ah looked at Lin Yuan curiously.


    Grand Schr Tai Ah was very curious about Lin Yuan. If not for the Goddess of Wisdom''s prevention and warnings, he might have used some means to find out Lin Yuan''s real identity.


    "I''ve been busytely," Lin Yuan replied truthfully. He had been swamped with "Interpretation of the Void," merging rules, the nine-story ck Tower, and more.


    "Being busy is good," Grand Schr Tai Ah nodded.


    "By the way, Grand Schr Mo Lang ns to open a virtual world to discuss the essence of spatial and temporal rules. Are you interested?" Tai Ah asked, ncing at Lin Yuan.


    Grand Schr Mo Lang was one of the few Grand Schrs in the creator virtual world who openly revealed his identity. He was among the most elite and ancient schrs in human civilization. His identity being public had little impact.


    "Essence of spatial and temporal rules?" Lin Yuan''s eyes lit up. He wasn''t currently interested in temporal rules, but spatial rules? Even with "Interpretation of the Void," he weed more insights and perspectives on space.


    "Interested?"


    "I have an invitation," Tai Ah asked again.


    Listening to Grand Schr Mo Lang wasn''t something just anyone could do; only evolutionary schrs received invitations. If a schr didn''t want to participate, they could pass the invitation to another creator. Tai Ah was willing to give his invitation to Lin Yuan if he asked.


    "Invitation?" Lin Yuan was puzzled.


    A virtual screen appeared before him, showing an email with an invitation from Grand Schr Mo Lang.


    "Is this the invitation you''re talking about?" Lin Yuan turned to Tai Ah.


    "You?" Tai Ah blinked, repeatedly checking the invitation, then looked at Lin Yuan in disbelief.


    "Since when did you be a Grand Schr?"

 Chapter 283

    Chapter 283


    The reason why Grand Schr Mo Lang only sends invitation letters to Grand Schr-level Evolvers is because the essence of time and space he discusses is difficult for Founders below the Grand Schr level toprehend.


    Listening for too long might even cause them to develop cognitive barriers, affecting their understanding of time and space.


    Forcing oneself to know information beyond one''s level often has the opposite effect.


    Grand Schr Tai Ah intended to send the invitation to Lin Yuan because, through their interactions over this period, he had determined that Lin Yuan''s talent and insight were exceptionally terrifying. If Lin Yuan had the chance to listen to Grand Schr Mo Lang''s exnations, it would undoubtedly be more beneficial than harmful.


    This led to the previous conversation.


    After all, Tai Ah himself had no interest in Grand Schr Mo Lang''s lectures, having heard them many times before; missing one wouldn''t matter.


    But Lin Yuan was different.


    In Tai Ah''s eyes, Lin Yuan was a neer, a junior who had never interacted with Grand Schr Mo Lang before.


    As a Grand Schr of human civilization and a senior among the Founders, Tai Ah felt it was his duty to look after Lin Yuan.However, when Grand Schr Tai Ah saw that Lin Yuan had an invitation identical to his own, he was momentarily stunned.


    An invitation that only Grand Schr-level Evolvers could receive appeared in Lin Yuan''s possession? What was going on?


    Grand Schr Tai Ah quickly thought of the only possibility.


    That Lin Yuan was also a Grand Schr-level Evolver.


    This led to his earlier remark, "Since when did you be a Grand Schr?"


    After all, in Tai Ah''s eyes, Lin Yuan was definitely not a Grand Schr-level Evolver before.


    Otherwise, the Goddess of Wisdom would not have so vehemently prevented him from retrieving Lin Yuan''s information.


    After casually dealing with Grand Schr Tai Ah for a while, Lin Yuan disconnected from the virtual world.


    He felt nothing about Tai Ah discovering his true identity.


    Every Grand Schr-level Evolver of human civilization was absolutely trustworthy. Bing a Grand Schr-level Evolver required more than just establishing a stable eighth-rank evolution path.


    "Grand Schr Mo Lang." Lin Yuan looked again at the golden invitation.


    When he first received it not long ago, he didn''t think much of it. After all, Lin Yuan was still very young and had not experienced many things, unaware of what Grand Schr Mo Lang''s exnations entailed. The three Goddesses couldn''t always remind him.


    Moreover, the invitation did not mention anything about rules of time or space.


    If it weren''t from Grand Schr Mo Lang, Lin Yuan wouldn''t have given it a second look.


    "I''ll go listen when the timees."


    Lin Yuan made up his mind. After all, it wouldn''t waste much time. Grand Schr-level Evolvers of human civilization were dedicated to specific fields of study. If the Strongest Ones represented the height of human civilization, then the Grand Schrs represented its depth.


    "Hmm? The Goddess of Freedom hasmunicated; now the invincible eighth-rank Evolvers on battlefield B0001 want to meet me to discuss details?"


    Notified by the Goddess of Freedom, Lin Yuan immediately agreed.


    The discussion would naturally take ce in the virtual world and would involve coordinating with Lin Yuan on action ns, timing, and which powerful Tianyu n members to target.


    These needed to be confirmed through priormunication.


    As the invited party, Lin Yuan received a significant amount of merit points aspensation and naturally needed to cooperate proactively.


    In a virtual world.


    A majestic and grand pce.


    Short and stout elders and other invincible eighth-rank beings on battlefield B0001 had been waiting here for a long time.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord should be here soon."


    "I wonder if the Milky Way Star Lord is easy to talk to."


    "I have some connections with the Milky Way Star Lord''s teacher, the Red Kun Star Lord. The Red Kun Star Lord is straightforward; the Milky Way Star Lord shouldn''t be too difficult."


    The invincible eighth-rank beings in the pce whispered among themselves.


    The Milky Way Star Lord was indeed powerful, capable of killing two invincible eighth-rank beings, but this time they were facing numerous strong Tianyu n members, a peak race.


    One or two invincible eighth-rank beings might not be a match for the Milky Way Star Lord, but what about ten? The Milky Way Star Lord would inevitably have to pay a price to hold them off.


    If the Milky Way Star Lord was unwilling to pay the price, doing the work half-heartedly, it would be their headache.


    After all, they couldn''t demand that the Milky Way Star Lord block all the strong Tianyu n members; that would be unreasonable. Who knew how many invincible eighth-rank beings the Tianyu n would mobilize?


    As a peak race, the Tianyu n could easily bring in hundreds of invincible eighth-rank beings.


    Moreover, each invincible eighth-rank being would cooperate, wielding various secret treasures, unleashing terrifying power.


    Suddenly¡ª


    A figure appeared out of thin air in the pce, looking calmly at the invincible eighth-rank Evolvers, smiling, "Hello everyone, I am the Milky Way Star Lord."


    "Milky Way Star Lord."


    "Greetings, Milky Way Star Lord."


    "Please, Milky Way Star Lord, have a seat."


    The invincible eighth-rank beings immediately disyed enthusiasm, as the uing war depended on Lin Yuan; they couldn''t afford to be negligent.


    "Milky Way Star Lord."


    The short and stout elder spoke, looking at Lin Yuan solemnly.


    "Star Lord Baiyun." Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    This short and stout elder, named Baiyun, was the Star Lord of the Baiyun Star Domain. His cosmic power, though not high-level, was strong among ordinary cosmic powers.


    The invincible eighth-rank beings on battlefield B0001 were mostly led by Star Lord Baiyun.


    "Let me brief you on the battlefield situation," said Star Lord Baiyun.


    "Please," Lin Yuan nodded.


    "Currently on the battlefield, the Tianyu n holds the advantage with sixty-seven invincible eighth-rank beings, two hundred and twelve A-grade war machines, and two thousand three hundred regr eighth-rank beings."


    "So far, we human Evolvers can barely resist the Tianyu n''s offensive, but in the uing all-out war, if nothing changes, we are likely to lose."


    Star Lord Baiyun''s voice was heavy. If the Tianyu n won, human civilization''s Evolvers would face a great escape, and even invincible eighth-rank beings couldn''t guarantee survival.


    Invincible eighth-rank beings were almost impossible to defeat by another invincible eighth-rank being, but in the alien battlefield, with obvious spatial fluctuations, they couldn''t use teleportation.


    Once surrounded by multiple strong opponents of the same level, even invincible eighth-rank beings could fall.


    Of course, those daring to enter the battlefield were mostly avatars, but nurturing an avatar close to the original''s strength was no easy task.


    The loss of an avatar was a huge blow to the original.


    After all, to maintain an avatar''sbat power, it needed to carry weapons of the same level.


    These weapons were not cheap.


    "I see," Lin Yuan nodded.


    The situation was as he expected. If human civilization had the upper hand, they wouldn''t need to pay him so many merit points.


    "How long until the all-out war?"


    Lin Yuan asked.


    "About five to ten years," Star Lord Baiyun thought for a moment.


    The Tianyu n needed significant time to mobilize for an all-out war, which Star Lord Baiyun estimated to be at least five years.


    If there were any unexpected events, it could be ten years.


    "I understand."


    Lin Yuan nodded. "I will reach the battlefield within five years."


    Of course, Lin Yuan meant his avatar, while his original would remain at the Milky Way main star.


    Though Lin Yuan''s original could revive within his Primordial Spirit even if it fell, his original had too many tasks to handle and couldn''t afford to go to the battlefield.


    With his current strength, even his avatar could crush all invincible eighth-rank beings without the aid of a 100M-mile internal world.


    "Thank you, Milky Way Star Lord," Star Lord Baiyun immediately expressed gratitude.


    "But Milky Way Star Lord, which Tianyu n strong members do you n to deal with?" Star Lord Baiyun asked.


    The strength of the Tianyu n''s invincible eighth-rank beings varied, and Star Lord Baiyun needed to determine Lin Yuan''s scope of engagement.


    "How many can you handle?"


    Lin Yuan asked.


    "We can handle about fifty of the Tianyu n''s invincible eighth-rank beings," Star Lord Baiyun pondered and said.


    "No problem."


    "I''ll handle the remaining invincible eighth-rank beings," Lin Yuan nodded.


    "There are nearly twenty left," Star Lord Baiyun was surprised.


    He expected Lin Yuan to be somewhat troubled, as dealing with nearly twenty invincible eighth-rank beings, even just holding them off, was incredible.


    If Lin Yuan hadn''t killed two invincible eighth-rank beings before, Star Lord Baiyun would find it absurd.


    "Don''t worry, I have it under control," Lin Yuan said.


    Even his avatar, mastering dozens of cosmic powers, could surpass thebined might of twenty invincible eighth-rank beings.


    Moreover, Lin Yuan estimated that in five years, with the help of "Interpretation of the Void," he would fullyprehend the rules of space.


    By then, his strength would surge again.


    Eighth-rank beingsprehending theplete rules of space were much harder than understanding a cosmic power.


    At the same time, those whoprehended theplete rules of space at the eighth rank were much stronger than invincible eighth-rank beings.


    Historically, every eighth-rank being whoprehended theplete rules of space caused other invincible eighth-rank beings to shudder.


    Red Kun Main Star.


    Lin Yuan''s Yang Primordial Spirit left the Thirteenth Peak, heading towards battlefield B0001.


    Leaving his Yang Primordial Spirit at the Red Kun Main Star was to ensure quick revival if his original fell.


    Even without the Yang Primordial Spirit at the Red Kun Main Star, Lin Yuan could still revive.


    Besides the Yang Primordial Spirit, Lin Yuan left a drop of blood at the Red Kun Main Star.


    Using the body divine technique "Blood Rebirth", Lin Yuan could still revive, though without the Yang Primordial Spirit, it would take longer.


    Lin Yuan also left drops of his blood in many hidden ces as backups for revival.


    "It will take about three years to reach battlefield B0001," the Yang Primordial Spirit rode a spaceship, quickly moving through wormholes towards the target.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness entered his internal world.


    "World Tree"


    Lin Yuan looked at a sapling rooted in the world''s center.


    Compared to before, the World Tree was no longer a sapling, standing nearly ten meters tall, its branches swaying, emitting gentle world power, harmonizing various energies and rules within the internal world.


    "No wonder it''s rated as an eleventh-star supreme cosmic wonder by human civilization."


    Lin Yuan smiled at the World Tree.


    In human civilization''s rating of treasures, the World Tree was not only eleven-star, but a supreme eleven-star wonder.


    Previously, Lin Yuan had spent over ten thousand universe crystals on the Thunder Heart, which was only an eight-star wonder. An eleven-star wonder, especially a supreme one, would even make the Strongest Ones envious.


    "With the World Tree in my internal world, I no longer need to buy cosmic treasures." Lin Yuan thought.


    Integrating various cosmic treasures into the internal world aimed to make it resemble a real world. With the World Tree, his internal world was practically a real world.


    Time passed.


    Three yearster.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, with silver-white characters shing in his mind.


    "Space."


    The more Lin Yuanprehended, the more he realized the vastness of space. The main universe and space beyond still belonged to space.


    Even if heprehended theplete rules of space, it was only one aspect of the vast space.


    "The Devil Jade Tower Master''s understanding of space transcends any one aspect. Although not as simple as space models, ''Interpretation of the Void'' helps me more at higher levels."


    Lin Yuan felt he had grasped an aspect of space''s essence.


    Human civilization''s space models were widespread and easier for Evolvers to understand,


    While the Devil Jade Tower Master''s "Interpretation of the Void" required a high level of talent and insight into space, otherwise, one couldn''t even grasp the basics.


    "The 7,779th space model"


    "The 7,780th space model."


    "The 7,781st space model."


    Lin Yuan felt his understanding and control of space rapidly increasing. Three years ofprehension, "Interpretation of the Void" had greatly helped him grasp the essence of space rules.


    Even with intermittentprehension and rest, it significantly impacted Lin Yuan''s understanding of space rules.


    Time passed.


    Five dayster.


    "Hahahaha."


    Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, looking into the depths of the cosmic starry sky. At this moment, all space before him unfolded like paper.


    Lin Yuan could even tear one sheet and appear before another distant sheet.


    "Great Teleportation Technique, this is the Great Teleportation Technique."


    Lin Yuan chuckled. Afterprehending theplete rules of space, he could travel hundreds of light-years in one step, the Great Teleportation Technique.


    "Marvelous, truly marvelous."


    He had thoroughly grasped one aspect of the space, theplete rules of space.

 Chapter 284

    Chapter 284


    The rules of space are one of the fundamental pirs of the universe''s operation.


    What is a pir rule? It means that without the rules of space, the universe would be imperfect or even copse.


    Everything that exists, all things, depend on space; it is the foundation of all things.


    Lin Yuan''splete mastery of the rules of space, even if only one aspect of it, has changed his perception of the outside world entirely.


    Before understanding the rules of space, Lin Yuan was like a fish in water, seeing and feeling only his immediate surroundings. But after understanding the rules of space, it was as if he had leapt out of the water and could see more and further.


    "The rules of space may not be as mysterious as the rules of time, unable to reverse the flow and resurrect the dead, but they permeate all things more deeply," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    At this moment, he had fully reached the ninth rank. Without mastering the rules of space, even if hisbat power exceeded the threshold of the ninth rank, if he were to fight a ninth-rank expert, the opponent coulde and go as they pleased, using space to toy with Lin Yuan at a higher level.


    It''s like a whale living in the deep sea; no matter how powerful it is, it cannot threaten life onnd.


    "Mastering space is just the beginning. Next, I need to integrate the Tao of Tai Chi and various cosmic powers with theplete rules of space, forging my own path."Lin Yuan''s heart surged with excitement. The path to the ninth rank was within reach; he just needed toplete the final integration of rules to step into the ninth rank.


    In the myriad races of the universe''s starry sky, the ninth rank is considered a fundamental existence. Many weaker and ordinary races have their strongest ancestors at this level.


    "My internal world?"


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness descended into his internal world, discovering that the originally 100M-mile-plus internal world had begun to expand massively again.


    Fortunately, Lin Yuan had anticipated this, taking out the prepared Taiwei Pure Crystals and integrating them into his internal world.


    In no time, the internal world expanded to a size of 131M miles in radius.


    The heavy power of the world operated, and ordinary invincible eighth-rank beings would be crushed under such immense world power, unable to resist.


    "With the support of my current internal world,pletely absorbing the mysterious green liquid from the gourd shouldn''t be difficult."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. In recent years, he had tried to absorb the green liquid but had always been stuck at the final bit. Now, he estimated he could easily pass through.


    "First, absorb the green liquid."


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness returned to the outside world, taking out the gray-green gourd, tilting it down to begin absorbing.


    Several thousand light-years away from the B0001 Alien Battlefield.


    A ck spaceship ended its wormhole traversal, revealing itself.


    "Is that the B0001 Alien Battlefield?" Lin Yuan, inside the spaceship, looked at the colossal object thousands of light-years away.


    The B0001 Alien Battlefield was the first medium-sized alien battlefield opened by human civilization, about twelve light-years in size.


    Even invincible eighth-rank beings could fight freely on this battlefield without holding back.


    "Forget it, I''ll just use Great Teleportation for the remaining distance."


    Lin Yuan exited the spaceship. Afterprehending theplete rules of space, a single Great Teleportation could span hundreds of light-years without any "cooldown time," much more efficient than the spaceship''s wormhole traversal.


    Of course, using Great Teleportation for long distances consumed a lot of energy. If not in a hurry, using the spaceship for wormhole traversal was better.


    Lin Yuan decided to try traveling by Great Teleportation for the remaining thousands of light-years, just to experience the feeling.


    Swish.


    On the edge of Battlefield 0001.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared, looking at the battlefield before him.


    "The spatial fluctuations are significant, far denser than those at the Yin Primordial Spirit''s medium-sized alien battlefield," Lin Yuan thought.


    The spatial fluctuations in alien battlefields stem from the constant fighting of countless strong beings and the presence of permanent spatial rifts.


    As the oldest alien battlefield, B0001 had frequent esctions of war intensity in the distant past, with tenth-rank Evolvers wielding ultimate weapons tearing permanent spatial rifts much wider and longer than other medium-sized battlefields.


    Small alien battlefields typically have spatial rifts ranging from tens of meters to several hundred meters, while medium-sized battlefields often have rifts over ten thousand meters, between ten to twenty thousand meters.


    Thergest permanent spatial rift on Battlefield 0001 reached thirty thousand meters.


    These are not ordinary spatial rifts but permanent ones, "wounds" that even the universe''s inherent operations cannot heal.


    "I should first check out the thirty-thousand-meter-long permanent spatial rift."


    Lin Yuan concealed his aura and headed towards the target location. In an alien battlefield, spatial fluctuations are significant. Even if one masters theplete rules of space, it''s best not to use Great Teleportation.


    The fluctuations can easily affect the teleportation, causing deviations or even temporary disorientation in theyers of space.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, with green mes burning wildly inside him, finally calming down.


    "I''ve finally absorbed itpletely."


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness descended into his internal world again, looking at the massive world that had silently reached 133.2M miles in radius, with a satisfied expression.


    For human Evolvers who master theplete rules of space, the limit of their internal world is around ten million miles in radius. Special life forms with peak bloodlines, like the Star Sea Kun, or other special space beings, have an internal world limit of several tens of millions of miles.


    Having an internal world exceeding a hundred million miles at the eighth rank is likely only achievable by rare special life forms that can''t even form a proper race.


    The universe is fair, nurturing all living things. The stronger the innate talent and bloodline of a life form, the harder it is to reproduce.


    Human civilization has a terrifying reproductive ability, but most have mediocre talents.


    Star Sea Kun have powerful innate talents and bloodlines, but their reproduction is extremely difficult. They can barely form a race.


    Some special life forms are so rare they can''t even form a race. The innate talent of these special life forms is beyond ordinary understanding.


    Many ancient gods who dominate regions of the universe are born from such origins.


    "Next is... the blue liquid."


    Lin Yuan flipped his right hand, revealing the mysterious gourd.


    At this moment, the color on the gourd''s surface began to slowly change, from gray-green to gray-blue.


    "Absorb."


    Lin Yuan tilted the gourd, and a drop of deep blue liquid dripped out.


    Boom.


    The blue liquid entered his throat, transforming into pure blue mes, burning through Lin Yuan''s internal organs.


    In a few days.


    Lin Yuan tried several times, and his internal world expanded to 145M miles in radius.


    "Further expansion will not be as quick as before." In such a short time, the foundation size increased by more than double, entirely due to Lin Yuan''s internal world reaching its basic limit.


    Subsequent growth would have to be gradual, slowly adapting to the burning of the blue mes.


    "In these years, I''ve finally umted thirty strands of Breaking Boundary Source Energy."


    Lin Yuan''s mind sank into his consciousness, sensing the quantity of Breaking Boundary Source Energy.


    Before the eighth transmigration, Lin Yuan had umted thirty-six strands of Breaking Boundary Source Energy.


    Descending into the Spirit Realm consumed ten strands, and bringing the mysterious gourd and Primordial Essence Gold consumed two strands.


    After the eighth transmigration, twenty-four strands remained.


    In recent years, Lin Yuan''s Breaking Boundary Source Energy reached thirty strands again.


    "The ninth transmigration is not urgent."


    Lin Yuan pondered. He was currently at a critical stage of integrating the rules, and traversing now would only affect his progress to the ninth rank.


    After breaking through to the ninth rank, when his cultivation reaches a temporary bottleneck, he could consider transmigrating again.


    For Lin Yuan, cultivation was possible anywhere, whether transmigrating other worlds or in the main world. Both could rapidly enhance his strength.


    Transmigrating other worlds primarily allowed Lin Yuan to understand cultivation systems outside the main world and gain benefits from different dimensions.


    For instance, the Spirit Realm had no suppression on cosmic power, enabling Lin Yuan toprehend dozens of cosmic powers, including over ten high-level ones and one primordial-level cosmic power.


    In the main world, this would have been nearly impossible. Even with Unrivaled Insight, it would have wasted a lot of time and hindered future cultivation.


    In the Spirit Realm, the myriad creative forces presented to Lin Yuan provided the correct direction, naturally speeding up hisprehension.


    In the main world, where cosmic power couldn''t be replicated, Lin Yuan would have had to start from scratch, potentially taking wrong paths.


    "Havingprehended the rules of space, I can now try to challenge the second floor of the ck Tower."


    Lin Yuan''s heart stirred. In recent years, his attempts on the second floor of the ck Tower were merely to hone his use of cosmic power.


    He hadn''t seriously tried to pass through.


    But now, he wanted to give it a shot.


    Comprehending theplete rules of space brought a qualitative transformation in all aspects, including offense, defense, and survival.


    An eighth-rank being whoprehends theplete rules of space could cause great trouble for invincible eighth-rank beings. Even if surrounded, they couldn''t be harmed.


    Such a being could travel through numerousyers of space with a single thought, making it nearly impossible for invincible eighth-rank beings to even touch them.


    Buzz.


    A strand of Lin Yuan''s consciousness descended into the Devil Jade Space through the Devil Jade Mark.


    In front of the majestic nine-story ck Tower, the humanoid statue Shen Ji looked at Lin Yuan with a smile, saying, "Here to challenge the second floor again?"


    Over the years, whenever Lin Yuan took a break, he woulde to challenge the second floor of the ck Tower, and the humanoid statue Shen Ji had gotten used to it.


    Watching Lin Yuan''s attempts at the second floor was one of the few entertainments in its long, tedious existence.


    Better than near-eternal slumber.


    "Yes," Lin Yuan nodded.


    The next moment.


    Lin Yuan appeared on the second floor of the ck Tower.


    The humanoid statue Shen Ji remained outside the ck Tower, observing the scenes on the second floor.


    "I wonder how long this little guy ns to hone his cosmic power."


    Shen Ji thought silently.


    It had long noticed that Lin Yuan was using the second floor to hone his cosmic power.


    Boom! As soon as Lin Yuan appeared on the second floor, a heavy pressure assaulted from all directions.


    Previously, Lin Yuan would immediately counter with various cosmic powers. The pressure from the second floor couldn''t be resisted by a mere strand of consciousness.


    But now?


    After mastering theplete rules of space.


    With a thought, an "absolute space" formed around Lin Yuan.


    Absolute space was an advanced application of spatial power, dissipating the iing pressure from the spatial level. Though Lin Yuan''s surrounding space seemed to be only ten feet wide, it was essentially separated by numerousyers of space.


    Ordinary eighth-rank Evolvers couldn''t even get close to the absolute space, and all their attacks would be trapped in theyers of space.


    An eighth-rank being who mastered theplete rules of space might not be able to kill invincible eighth-rank beings, but they could certainly make their lives difficult.


    For instance, they could exile invincible eighth-rank beings into the depths of spaceyers.


    There, with no up or down, left or right, it wouldn''t be easy for invincible eighth-rank beings to escape, possibly being trapped for decades.


    "Not even needing to use cosmic power?"


    Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow. Standing on the second floor, the surrounding space subtly distorted, dissipating all the pressure.


    However, Lin Yuan knew this was just the initial stage. As he moved closer to the central staircase, the pressure would increase.


    Eventually, relying solely on absolute space wouldn''t be enough to perfectly resist all the pressure.


    Especially in the middle area, the infinite pressure would condense into phantom creatures attacking Lin Yuan.


    "Let''s see how far I can go."


    Lin Yuan wasn''t confident about passing the second floor, but with his increased strength afterprehending theplete rules of space, he wanted to try.


    Sess would be great, but even failure wouldn''t matter.


    Lin Yuan considered the second floor of the ck Tower a benchmark for testing his strength.


    ording to the humanoid statue Shen Ji, those who passed the second floor were generally strong among ninth-rank beings.


    Although the ninth rank''s numerous methods involved more than rule and cosmic power mastery, these were crucial aspects.


    If Lin Yuan could pass the second floor, he might not be the strongest among the ninth rank, but he would be stronger than more than half of them.


    Outside the nine-story ck Tower.


    The humanoid statue Shen Ji watched Lin Yuan''s performance with great interest.


    Whenever Lin Yuan came to challenge the second floor, Shen Ji paid close attention, enjoying the diversion from boredom.


    However, seeing Lin Yuan effortlessly withstand the heavy pressure of the second floor without using cosmic power this time, Shen Ji was stunned.


    "This..." Shen Ji carefully observed Lin Yuan, especially the slightly distorted space around him.


    "Has this little guyprehended theplete rules of space?"


    Shen Ji was bewildered. A few years ago, Lin Yuan''s understanding of the rules of space was decent but far fromplete mastery.


    How did heprehend it so suddenly?

 Chapter 285

    Chapter 285


    The humanoid stone statue had already estimated Lin Yuan highly enough.


    At just over two thousand years old¡ª


    He had cultivated to the eighth rank.


    He hadprehended dozens of cosmic powers.


    As well as more than ten high-level cosmic powers.


    And even a primordial-level cosmic power.


    Such a monstrous genius, no matter where in the universe, would be considered unparalleled and unprecedented.


    But even so, how could heprehend the rules of space so quickly?


    That wasn''t an ordinary rule; it was a pir rule! The humanoid stone statue found it unbelievable. It knew that the "Interpretation of the Void" left by the master of the Devil Jade Tower would surely help Lin Yuan greatly.But it was merely an aid, not the master himselfprehending the rules of space; it still depended mainly on Lin Yuan himself.


    The "Interpretation of the Void" was obscure and difficult to understand. If one couldn''t grasp it, not only would it be unhelpful, but it could also be counterproductive.


    "How could there be such a¡­"


    The humanoid stone statue Shen Ji murmured to itself, seemingly unable to find words to describe Lin Yuan.


    On the second floor of the ck Tower.


    Lin Yuan used absolute space to iste himself from the outside, dispersing all the pressure.


    He quickly covered one-third of the distance.


    As he delved deeper, the pressure around him grew increasingly heavy and terrifying.


    Faintly, phantom creatures began to form, baring their teeth and ws as they lunged at Lin Yuan.


    "I can''t hold back."


    Lin Yuan''s heart sank, and he immediately began to activate cosmic power.


    The endless pressure swept over him, and even with absolute space, it was difficult topletely iste it; stronger measures were necessary.


    Hoo...


    Various cosmic powers continuallybined, with more than ten high-level cosmic powers as the mainstay and the primordial-level cosmic power as the core. All the cosmic powers perfectly fused together.


    Over the years, Lin Yuan had often used the pressure of the second floor of the ck Tower to hone himself, especially in the use of cosmic powers, so it wasn''t without gains.


    The current method of fusing all cosmic powers was Lin Yuan''s greatest achievement, allowing the power of each cosmic force to nearly double.


    Rumble.


    Lin Yuan, braving the attacks of phantom creatures, strode towards the center.


    Outside the nine-story ck Tower.


    The humanoid stone statue Shen Ji closely monitored the situation on the second floor.


    "If he only relies on this, it will be very difficult to pass the second floor¡­"


    The humanoid stone statue Shen Ji muttered, using the phrase "very difficult" to express its view.


    Very difficult, but not impossible.


    After witnessing Lin Yuan''sprehension of the rules of space in just a few short years, the humanoid stone statue Shen Ji no longer dared to be too certain about anything, fearing it might be proven wrongter.


    There was no way around it; Lin Yuan had already created too many miracles.


    So now, it left some room for any view it held.


    "The pressure at thetter part of the second floor will be increasingly intense."


    The humanoid stone statue Shen Ji thought silently. Many ninth-rank beings often managed to traverse the first two-thirds of the path.


    But in thest third, they were crushed, leading to a failed trial.


    Based on Lin Yuan''s current performance, it was highly likely he would end up like those ninth-rank beings who failed the trial.


    After all, those who could pass the second floor of the ck Tower were often rxed for the first two-thirds of the journey.


    On the second floor of the ck Tower.


    Lin Yuan''s steps gradually slowed. When he reached thest third of the path, the terrifying pressure became almost tangible, filling every inch of space.


    "If I don''t use the ''Enhancement'' divine power, it will be very difficult to rely solely on my strength to pass the second floor."


    Lin Yuan sighed inwardly. The second floor of the ck Tower was indeed designed for ninth-rank beings. Even though he hadprehended theplete rules of space and mastered so many cosmic powers, there was no hope of passing.


    "Let''s see."


    "Take a few more steps."


    "If the time is right, use the ''Enhancement'' divine power."


    Lin Yuan collected his thoughts. This divine power could only be maintained for ten breaths, so he had to get as close as possible. Otherwise, if the divine power''s duration ended and he still hadn''t passed, it would be a great loss.


    The ''Enhancement'' divine power wasn''t like absolute space or cosmic power; it required Lin Yuan to pay a significant short-term cost.


    He couldn''t afford to fail the second floor and end up weakened.


    Boom boom boom.


    Lin Yuan walked with difficulty.


    Half an hourter, he was within fifty meters of the central area.


    At this point, Lin Yuan was almost unable to move. The extreme pressure had locked him in ce.


    Without absolute space and thebined cosmic powers to iste him, Lin Yuan would have been crushed instantly.


    "Fifty meters left."


    "That''s enough."


    Lin Yuan steadied himself and slowly closed his eyes.


    At the same time.


    On the Milky Way Main Star.


    Lin Yuan''s true body opened its eyes.


    Buzz.


    Strands of blood-colored energy intertwined, forming aplex divine power mark.


    As soon as this divine power mark appeared, it quickly merged into Lin Yuan''s body, causing his physical strength to surge tenfold.


    His physical body drove his soul, and his soul drove his will. In an instant, everything about Lin Yuan increased tenfold.


    In the Devil Jade Space.


    On the second floor of the ck Tower.


    The moment he activated the ''Enhancement'' divine power.


    This wisp of Lin Yuan''s will also increased tenfold.


    As a result, the power of absolute space and dozens of cosmic powers all skyrocketed.


    The ''Enhancement'' divine power only affected Lin Yuan''s physical body, soul, and will, not theprehension of rules or cosmic power.


    But the surge in will also influenced these aspects.


    The will is fundamental. For example, the same level ofprehension of the rules of space would exhibit different levels of power when mastered by an eighth-rank being versus a ninth-rank being.


    Rumble.


    After the tenfold increase in his will, Lin Yuan immediately felt the oppressive feeling vanish.


    It was as if he had broken free from his shackles, bing incredibly free.


    "Make the most of it."


    Lin Yuan immediately tookrge strides forward.


    At this moment, the pressure on the second floor of the ck Tower no longer hindered Lin Yuan.


    Only in thest five meters did he pause for a moment. He finally passed the second floor with only four breaths left of the divine power''s duration.


    "He really made it?"


    Outside the nine-story ck Tower, the humanoid stone statue Shen Ji fell into silence again.


    Even though it had anticipated this possibility, given Lin Yuan''sprehension of the rules of space, it seemed possible that he could pass the second floor with his eighth-rank body.


    But witnessing it actually happen still caused a storm in Shen Ji''s heart.


    "Did his aura surge at the end due to using some explosive secret technique?"


    The humanoid stone statue Shen Ji spected. The master of the Devil Jade Tower had left rules prohibiting the use of any ''external forces'' during the trial.


    But explosive secret techniques that originated from oneself were not considered external forces.


    Thus, Lin Yuan''s passing of the second floor was within the rules.


    Whoosh.


    The humanoid stone statue Shen Ji disappeared and reappeared in the central area of the second floor of the ck Tower.


    Lin Yuan was already standing there. He had taken only four breaths toplete the final stretch of the second floor, leaving six breaths of the ''Enhancement'' divine power''s duration.


    "Senior Shen Ji, can I challenge the third floor?"


    Lin Yuan didn''t want to waste thest six breaths. Currently, he felt unprecedentedly powerful.


    "Hmm? Go ahead."


    The humanoid stone statue Shen Ji saw Lin Yuan''s state and nodded.


    "Then I''m going up."


    Lin Yuan immediately ascended the ck staircase to the third floor.


    With four breaths remaining.


    Boom.


    As soon as Lin Yuan entered the third floor, he felt an omnipresent, terrifying pressure.


    The pressure was immense, like an entire universe copsing down. Even Lin Yuan, with his tenfold increase in power, felt his absolute space and dozens of cosmic powers quickly copsing.


    "How do I withstand this?"


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts raced.


    Even during the ''Enhancement'' divine power''s duration, it was extremely strenuous. Once the divine power ended, and he became weakened, the oue was predictable.


    "Forget it."


    Seeing the difficulty of the third floor, Lin Yuan decisively retreated.


    This time, entering the third floor, he hadn''t intended to pass it. He didn''t want to waste the ''Enhancement'' divine power''s duration and just wanted to see the third floor.


    "The third floor of the ck Tower is designed for extremely powerful ninth-rank beings and tenth-rank beings. It''s only normal that you can''t pass it."


    The humanoid stone statue Shen Ji said as Lin Yuan retreated.


    Extremely powerful ninth-rank beings are akin to invincible eighth-rank beings, possessingbat power that surpasses their rank.


    "I see."


    Lin Yuan nodded. He couldn''t even withstand the pressure on the third floor, let alone pass it.


    The gap was too great.


    "Alright."


    "Since you''ve passed the second floor, ording to the rules set by my master, you are entitled to one treasure from the second floor''s reward vault."


    "The value of the treasure depends on your performance in passing the second floor."


    The humanoid stone statue looked at Lin Yuan and spoke.


    "A treasure?"


    Lin Yuan was delighted.


    He had seen many treasures in the second floor''s reward vault, many of which were rare and unheard of in the main world.


    "In terms of speed, your performance in passing the second floor is considered average among those who have passed it."


    The humanoid stone statue Shen Ji said.


    "The speed wasn''t fast."


    Lin Yuan nodded. Apart from thest fifty meters when he activated the ''Enhancement'' divine power, he didn''t stop much, but overall, his speed wasn''t fast, which matched Shen Ji''s evaluation.


    "But in terms of strength¡­"


    The humanoid stone statue''s tone wasplex.


    Eighth rank.


    Lin Yuan was only at the eighth rank.


    Yet, he had passed the second floor. This had never happened even during the peak period of the Devil Jade Tower.


    Indeed, there were eighth-rank beings who had attempted the second floor and even made it halfway, but none had seeded like Lin Yuan.


    "Therefore, the overall evaluation is that you can choose one treasure from the reward vault of the second and third floors of the ck Tower."


    The humanoid stone statue said solemnly.


    Compared to the first floor, where Lin Yuan could choose three treasures from the first and second floors, this time he could only choose one. But the range included the third floor.


    A single treasure from the third floor''s reward vault far surpassed any from the first and second floors. Allowing Lin Yuan ess to the third floor''s reward vault was somewhat beyond the rules.


    But the humanoid stone statue believed that even if the master of the Devil Jade Tower returned, they wouldn''t object to this decision. Lin Yuan''s talent was too extraordinary.


    "Here is the list of rewards. Take your time to choose."


    The humanoid stone statue Shen Ji waved his hand, and numerous treasure projections appeared in front of them.


    In the B0001 Alien Battlefield.


    Lin Yuan''s Yang Primordial Spirit finally arrived near thergest permanent spatial rift.


    "That rift¡­"


    Lin Yuan looked at the terrifying rift stretching across the sky, over thirty thousand meters long, exuding a profound and awe-inspiring aura.


    "Let''s see how it affects the umtion of boundary-breaking source power."


    Lin Yuan approached and carefully felt the rift. The permanent spatial rift in the medium-sized alien battlefield where his Yin Primordial Spirit was located was only ten thousand meters long.


    It was far inferior to the thirty-thousand-meter-long permanent spatial rift before him.


    Momentster.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes.


    "Now, the umtion speed of boundary-breaking source power is...one hundred and fifty days per strand?"


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    The initial umtion speed for boundary-breaking source power was three hundred and thirty-three days per strand.


    With the permanent spatial rift on the small battlefield, it reduced to about two hundred and ny days per strand.


    Finally, in the medium-sized alien battlefield, with a ten-thousand-meter-long permanent spatial rift, it only took two hundred days to umte a strand of boundary-breaking source power.


    Now it only took one hundred and fifty days.


    "Even if the war with the Tianyu n ends, I must station a Primordial Spirit avatar in this battlefield permanently."


    Lin Yuan made a decision.


    With his current strength, even in the always-intense B0001 battlefield, there would be no threat to him.


    Time passed slowly.


    In the blink of an eye, two more years went by.


    At the center of the B0001 battlefield, the Tianyu n and human civilization had stationed vast armies of strong individuals on both sides.


    Lord Baiyun and other eighth-rank invincible evolvers stood under the sky, watching the Tianyu n''s side with serious expressions.


    "Baiyun, the Tianyu n seems determined to win this time. Starting a full-scale battle in such a short time shows they are confident in their victory."


    An eighth-rank invincible whispered.


    If the strength were evenly matched, or if there was no overwhelming advantage, the Tianyu n wouldn''t start the final battle so quickly. They would umte strength to increase their chances of victory.


    Now that they were so eager, they were clearly confident they could defeat the human civilization''s forces on this battlefield.


    As a peak race, the Tianyu n, even if slightly weaker than human civilization, wasn''t much behind and often held the upper hand on the battlefield.


    "Damn it, if it weren''t for our human civilization being restrained by the Insect Race Alliance and the Starry Sky Alliance, we wouldn''t be caught off guard by these birdmen."


    Another eighth-rank invincible said angrily.


    Human civilization, while generally dominant in the external battlefields, asionally faced disadvantages.


    For instance, when human civilization decided to support other battlefields, it couldn''t cover all fronts, leading to insufficient support in some areas.


    "It''s alright."


    Lord Baiyun remained calm. "Milky Way Star Lord has already arrived at the battlefield and is probably watching us right now. You just wait and fight freely."

 Chapter 286

    Chapter 286


    "The Milky Way Star Lord is paying attention to us?"


    The hearts of the eighth-Rank invincibles on the human side were certain.


    For a battlefield like B0001, every moment would be under the watch of ninth-Rank or even tenth-Rank evolvers from the human side.


    But these observations were just that¡ªobservations.


    To maintain the intensity of the war, even if the human side was greatly defeated, the ninth and tenth-Rank evolvers would not intervene.


    The same was true for the Tianyu n; there would be designated ninth and tenth-Rank experts watching here.


    The wins and losses on a medium-sized battlefield had little to do with the ninth Rank, as they would not personally interfere with the battle.


    But the attention of the Milky Way Star Lord¡­


    The Milky Way Star Lord was not ninth Rank; his attention was a real boost for the human side.With the strength of the Milky Way Star Lord, once involved, it would definitely have the effect of turning the tide.


    "Where is the Milky Way Star Lord?"


    "When did the Milky Way Star Lord arrive at the battlefield? How did I not know?"


    "Nonsense, the Milky Way Star Lord is our human side''s stabilizing force; only the Baiyun Star Lord probably knows his whereabouts."


    Dozens of eighth-Rank invincibles whispered, visibly rxed.


    Until today, the Baiyun Star Lord had never disclosed information about the Milky Way Star Lord, making them almost think there was a problem with the invitation.


    "Even if the Milky Way Star Lord is here, we should not let our guard down."


    The Baiyun Star Lord nced at the many eighth-Rank invincible evolvers and reminded them.


    The Milky Way Star Lord was a trump card, a killing weapon.


    But not everything could be pinned on the Milky Way Star Lord.


    If in this war, the human side was crushed from the beginning by the Tianyu n.


    Then no matter how strong the Milky Way Star Lord was, it would be useless, right? Could he alone fight against all the eighth-Rank invincibles of the Tianyu n in this battlefield?


    After reminding the eighth-Rank invincible evolvers, the Baiyun Star Lord thought to himself: "I wonder where the Milky Way Star Lord is now."


    In fact, he knew very little about the Milky Way Star Lord, only receiving a message from him two years ago.


    Saying he had arrived and would act at a critical moment.


    As for more, there was nothing.


    The Baiyun Star Lord did not dare to disturb Lin Yuan.


    On the other side of the B0001 battlefield.


    The invincible eighth-Rank members of the Tianyu n stood in the void.


    The leader was an old man with six pairs of wings behind him, his eyes cold and his aura terrifying.


    Within the Tianyu n, the ranks were clear, and future potential and height were determined almost from birth.


    Those with one pair of wings were mediocre, reaching at most first or second Rank in their life.


    With two pairs of wings, their future achievements were at least third Rank.


    Three pairs of wings, their potential would not be lower than the fifth Rank.


    Four pairs of wings had the hope of reaching the seventh Rank.


    The wings of the Tianyu n contained many incredible abilities, with methods akin to some special life forms'' innate talents.


    It was precisely because of this that the Tianyu n could rank among the peak groups in the universe. In terms of poption, the Tianyu n was far less than human civilization.


    In terms of average level, the Tianyu n was also far inferior to the Insect Race.


    The Insect Race''s numbers were actually very few, most being mass-produced insect warriors.


    Each Insect Race hive was a war machine, as long as there were enough resources, they were truly invincible at the same Rank.


    "Leader, the number of eighth-Rank invincibles on the human side has not increased," a five-winged Tianyu n member said in a low voice.


    "Oh?"


    The leader with six wings raised an eyebrow.


    "It seems human civilization has other cards up their sleeve," the six-winged elder said.


    The Tianyu n had fought human civilization for many years, knowing thetter would not be unprepared.


    Even though the Tianyu n took advantage of human civilization''s distractions,unching aprehensive attack when they couldn''t provide timely support.


    But if they truly believed they had no chance of winning, they would certainly retreat to avoid more losses.


    After all, the oue of a mere medium-sized battlefield didn''t matter much to human civilization''s overall strength.


    Since the human side dared to take the initiative, it meant they had a key trump card, strong enough to make them believe they wouldn''t necessarily lose.


    "Indeed, ording to our n''s think tank analysis of this war, human civilization''s behavior now has three possibilities."


    The five-winged Tianyu n expert continued: "First, the evolvers of human civilization have obtained a ninth-Rank or tenth-Rank secret treasure that can change the battlefield."


    "Ninth-Rank, tenth-Rank secret treasure?" The six-winged elder shook his head slightly.


    Normally, the eighth-Rank invincibles appearing on the battlefield, whether human evolvers or Tianyu n experts, wouldn''t carry too precious treasures.


    Eighth-Rank invincibles rarely die elsewhere, but on alien battlefields, especially ancient ones like B0001, the death rate was still high.


    The environment of alien battlefields was special, and with many strong opponents, even eighth-Rank invincibles could easily fall.


    If their avatars died, it was a significant loss, let alone if they carried important treasures¡ªwouldn''t that be catastrophic?


    Ninth-Rank, tenth-Rank secret treasures? Their value was very high and could greatly enhance an eighth-Rank invincible''sbat power, but if an eighth-Rank invincible with such a treasure died, it would fall into the enemy''s hands.


    So unless absolutely necessary, neither human evolvers nor Tianyu n experts would use such secret treasures.


    However, since human civilization was at an absolute disadvantage this time, the Tianyu n think tank considered it possible.


    After all, facing a huge gap in the number of eighth-Rank invincibles, only ninth-Rank, tenth-Rank secret treasures could hope to bridge it.


    "If human civilization can use high-level secret treasures, why can''t our Tianyu n?" The six-winged elder said calmly.


    "Second, the human side has invited a group of eighth-Rank invincibles for support, but they are all hidden."


    The five-winged Tianyu n expert continued.


    "Meaningless." The six-winged elder''s tone was indifferent.


    In the face of absolute strength, there was no such thing as ambush or hidden attacks.


    "Third."


    The five-winged Tianyu n expert paused before saying slowly: "The Milky Way Star Lord may have been invited and arrived at this battlefield."


    These words caused the six-winged elder to show a slightly serious expression.


    Even he had heard of the Milky Way Star Lord''s fame.


    After all, he had broken the myth of eighth-Rank invincibility, killing two eighth-Rank invincibles with his bare hands without any external aid.


    Although those two eighth-Rank invincibles were not from peak groups, eighth-Rank invincibles were still eighth-Rank invincibles.


    In the six-winged elder''s heart, with his strength, suppressing an eighth-Rank invincible was not a problem, but killing one required high-level secret treasures.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord...is indeed a problem."


    The six-winged elder thought, "But he cannot change the overall situation, merely restrain some of our eighth-Rank invincibles."


    With the Milky Way Star Lord''s strength not yet fully exposed, if he suddenly attacked them, it would indeed cause some Tianyu n eighth-Rank invincibles to die.


    But now they were prepared for the Milky Way Star Lord''s strength, knowing he could kill eighth-Rank invincibles, they would not suffer major losses with precautions.


    At worst, they wouldn''t confront the Milky Way Star Lord head-on, focusing on restraint. As long as human civilization was overall defeated, the Milky Way Star Lord wouldn''t make waves.


    Under the 30,000-meter-long permanent space rift.


    Lin Yuan''s Yang Spirit suddenly opened its eyes.


    "Five strands of boundary-breaking source power in two years, it was worthing here."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face. This permanent space rift on the B0001 battlefield allowed the umtion of universal source power to reach one strand every 150 days.


    Basically, within half a year, he could umte aplete strand of boundary-breaking source power.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan nced into the distance.


    A wisp of Yin power gathered to form a figure.


    It was Lin Yuan''s Yin Spirit.


    Determining that the permanent space rift on this battlefield increased the efficiency of umting boundary-breaking source power more than the medium-sized alien battlefield where the Yin Spirit was located.


    Lin Yuan had the Yin Spirit leave that battlefield ande to B0001 to join the Yang Spirit.


    No matter how many permanent space rifts Lin Yuan was under, only one could effectively absorb boundary-breaking source power.


    "To be safe,bining the two Spirits into the Tai Chi Spirit should be enough."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself, since he had promised the Baiyun Star Lord to deal with the Tianyu n experts, he had to ensure stability.


    Combining the Yin and Yang into the Tai Chi Spirit, though not as powerful as his true self.


    But it also surpassed the strength of a newly entered ninth-Rank expert. After mastering theplete space rules, Lin Yuan''s strength had greatly increased, and so did the Spirits.


    Complete space rules,bined with dozens of cosmic powers, meant a dimensional strike against other eighth-Rank invincibles.


    "For the past two years, I''ve beenprehending fusion rules,bining space rules with Tai Chi rules and other cosmic powers, making significant progress. I can now use the new power of fusion rules."


    Lin Yuan thought silently.


    There were two benefits to this.


    First, the power of fusion rules, even if not fully integrated, far exceeded single means.


    Second, the fusion of cosmic power with space rules formed a new power,pletely covering up Lin Yuan''s mastery of dozens of cosmic powers.


    At most, people would think his fused power was abnormally strong.


    But in this aspect, unless they captured Lin Yuan for detailed study, they wouldn''t reach any useful conclusions.


    "Has the war not started yet?"


    Lin Yuan nced at the central position of the battlefield, where human civilization and the Tianyu n were confronting each other.


    "It''s about time to go."


    Lin Yuan stood up; on an alien battlefield, teleportation was difficult, so he had to go early.


    As for dying the absorption of boundary-breaking source power? He didn''t mind that little time.


    As long as he sessfully dealt with the Tianyu n, Lin Yuan would have plenty of time to absorb boundary-breaking source power here.


    The Milky Way main star.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    In front of him floated a crystalline, irregr shard.


    If an eighth-Rank or even ninth-Rank evolver were here, they would notice the shard contained many rule auras.


    Various rules flickered, perfectly merging together, then separating, repeating endlessly.


    "This Chaos Crystal is truly wonderful, how can it perfectly merge so many rules..."


    Lin Yuan was captivated.


    The Chaos Crystal was the name of this crystalline, irregr shard.


    It was a treasure Lin Yuan carefully selected from the reward pool of the humanoid statue Sheng Ji after passing the second floor of the ck Tower.


    The origin of this Chaos Crystal was a mysterious ce the Devil Jade Tower master identally found, always in a chaotic state, with many rules constantly merging and separating.


    The Chaos Crystal replicated that scene, with gold, wood, water, fire, earth, light, thunder, yin, cold, life, space, even time¡ªrules merging and separating.


    After watching the reward pools for the second and third floors for a long time, Lin Yuan chose this Chaos Crystal on Sheng Ji''s advice.


    Watching and understanding this Chaos Crystal greatly helped Lin Yuan''s uing fusion of Tai Chi rules and cosmic powers with space rules.


    Ordinary evolvers, even eighth or ninth-Rank ones, would find it hard toprehend much from this crystal.


    But Lin Yuan, with his Unrivaled Insight, found the crystal''s effects far beyond imagination.


    In just two years, Lin Yuan''s progress in rule fusion went from one-tenth to half.


    Thanks to this Chaos Crystal.


    In the Spirit Realm, Lin Yuan spent centuries toplete the first tenth of the fusion rule Rank.


    "You have Unrivaled Insight,prehending the mysterious crystal deepens your understanding of fusion rules..."


    "You have Unrivaled Insight,prehending the mysterious crystal deepens your understanding of fusion rules..."


    "You have Unrivaled Insight,prehending the mysterious crystal deepens your understanding of fusion rules..."


    Lin Yuan focused most of his energy onprehending the Chaos Crystal.


    Choosing this crystal was not only to guide his fusion of rules but also because Lin Yuan sensed that even when he reached the ninth or tenth Rank.


    This Chaos Crystal would still be highly effective.


    After all, the rules merging in the Chaos Crystal included not only space rules and ordinary rules but also life and time rules.


    Time rules, mastered by tenth or even eleventh-Rank experts, could grant near-immortality.


    "How wonderful."


    "Integrating space rules leads to such changes." Lin Yuan raised his right hand, intertwining strands of space power and Tai Chi power, slowly merging them.


    When the fusion reached halfway, it suddenly shattered, returning to space and Tai Chi power.


    However, Lin Yuan was not disappointed. Through brief fusion, he had no bottlenecks on the path ahead.


    "And other cosmic powers."


    Lin Yuan was about to try each one.


    Suddenly.


    Lin Yuan''s expression changed slightly.


    "Hmm!"


    He looked up in a certain direction.

 Chapter 287

    Chapter 287


    "Have the Tianyu n started a war?"


    Lin Yuan''s gaze turned towards the direction of the B0001 alien battlefield.


    At this moment, his Tai Chi primordial spirit was about to reach the center of the battlefield, faintly sensing the battle fluctuations among the eighth-rank invincibles.


    "As long as I can block or repel the Tianyu n, I can at least earn tens of millions of merit points," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Such arge sum of merit points, even for an eighth-rank invincible, is difficult to gather through long years of battle on the alien battlefield.


    Even Lin Yuan, an evolved schr, can only rely on the development of the Martial Dao Nine-Rank Chapter to obtain equivalent merit points.


    As for other means? They are too slow, taking tens of thousands to millions of years.


    Moreover¡ª


    Merit points are just Lin Yuan''s baseline gain.During the confrontation with the many powerhouses of the Tianyu n, as long as he can kill their eighth-rank invincible, the spoils of war will naturally belong to Lin Yuan.


    Not long ago in the Milky Way Star Domain, Lin Yuan killed two eighth-rank invincible aliens, obtaining spoils worth nearly five hundred thousand universe crystals.


    Indeed, those two eighth-rank invincible aliens didn''t expect to die, so they carried many treasures, resulting in a higher yield for Lin Yuan.


    But the eighth-rank invincibles of the Tianyu n on the battlefield are far more than just two, and if the quality isn''t enough, quantity will make up for it.


    In short, Lin Yuan eagerly anticipated the uing harvest.


    In the center of the B0001 battlefield.


    Baiyun Star Lord and the six-winged elder of the Tianyu n stood opposite each other, hovering in the void, with two distinctly different cosmic powers surging like oceans, constantly colliding.


    "Baiyun, you haven''t changed a bit; your moves are still the same. Fighting you is actually quite boring," the six-winged elder sneered.


    "Is that so?" Baiyun Star Lord''s expression remained unchanged. In terms of mastery of cosmic power, he was not as skilled as the six-winged elder.


    Thetter''s cosmic power was a higher-level cosmic power. However, the cosmic power of Baiyun Star Lord was special, enough to hold off the six-winged elder.


    "sh." The six-winged elder raised his right hand and pressed towards Baiyun Star Lord.


    Immediately, the violent cosmic power gathered, resembling a sharp divine weapon, shing towards Baiyun Star Lord.


    The cosmic power mastered by the six-winged elder originated from the space storm produced when the void shattered, turning infinite space into des, destroying everything.


    "You haven''t changed either, still using those few moves," Baiyun Star Lord snorted coldly. Within a radius of millions of miles, Baiyuns appeared.


    The clouds continuously merged and intertwined, colliding with the cosmic power shed by the six-winged elder, annihting each other.


    Within a few breaths, the two cosmic powers dissipated by more than half, and the remaining quickly copsed into the void.


    "Baiyun blocked it."


    "At least he wasn''t injured."


    Below, dozens of human eighth-rank invincible evolvers sighed in relief.


    Baiyun Star Lord was the strongest eighth-rank invincible on their side. Even with the Milky Way Star Lord watching, they couldn''t just rely on him to save them.


    "Hahahahaha, since that''s the case, let me show you my new technique," the six-winged elder chuckled, "This move is something I recentlyprehended from the depths of my n''s bloodline. Enjoy."


    The six-winged elder finished speaking, and the six pairs of wings on his back gently unfolded. The white wings seemed to pluck the strings of a harp, causing the surrounding space to ripple like flowing water.


    "Hmm?" Baiyun Star Lord frowned. The rippling space began to impact his surrounding cosmic power.


    The cosmic power resembling Baiyuns slowly disintegrated under the invisible spatial ripples, rapidly spreading towards his body.


    "What kind of move is this?" Baiyun Star Lord''s expression changed. He immediately retracted his cosmic power, condensing it within a few miles around him, barely blocking the enveloping spatial ripples.


    "Troublesome." Baiyun Star Lord felt a sinking feeling.


    Under the spatial ripples stirred up by the six-winged elder, he was forcibly confined within a few miles.


    Although confident in blocking the six-winged elder''s next attack, he clearlycked the ability to intervene externally.


    This meant¡ª


    The six-winged elder had already restricted him and could spare some energy to deal with the human eighth-rank invincible evolvers.


    "Up until now, you haven''t used any secret treasures. It seems that your trump card this time isn''t an external object but reinforcements, isn''t it?"


    The six-winged elder looked down at Baiyun Star Lord and said indifferently.


    "If you have any reinforcements, let theme out now, or it will be toote."


    The six-winged elder raised his left hand and pressed towards the other human eighth-rank invincible evolvers.


    Buzz.


    Ripples of space, like flowing water, rapidly spread over millions of miles. The space at this moment resembled an iron box. The speed of the human evolvers, even the eighth-rank invincible, plummeted.


    "Everyone, make your move."


    As soon as the six-winged elder finished speaking, dozens of eighth-rank invincible powerhouses from the Tianyu n began approaching.


    Various cosmic powers exploded, forming deep currents, spreading towards the human evolvers.


    "Not good."


    Baiyun Star Lord, confined by the six-winged elder, changed his expression drastically.


    The six-winged elder had extra energy to suppress the speed of all human eighth-rank invincible evolvers on the battlefield, forcing them into direct confrontation with the eighth-rank invincibles of the Tianyu n.


    This was not good news.


    Not to mention the Tianyu n''s eighth-rank invincibles outnumbered the human eighth-rank invincible evolvers.


    Just the six-winged elder watching from the sidelines, ready to strike at any moment, was enough.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, Milky Way Star Lord, please make a move quickly."


    At this moment, Baiyun Star Lord could only pin all his hopes on Lin Yuan.


    "The reinforcements haven''t appeared yet?" The six-winged elder also carefully observed the battlefield, preventing any sudden appearance of a human eighth-rank invincible.


    Hoo¡ª


    An invisible aura descended, gathering above the battlefield. The ck and white Yin-Yang Tai Chi power condensed into the towering figure of Lin Yuan. His deep, indifferent gaze alone influenced the surrounding space.


    "Hmm?"


    The six-winged elder was the first to notice the anomaly. He looked up at Lin Yuan, his expression extremely solemn.


    "Milky Way Star Lord."


    "Milky Way Star Lord, you''ve finally made a move."


    Baiyun Star Lord also looked at Lin Yuan, finally feeling relieved.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord has arrived?"


    "The Milky Way Star Lord is finally here."


    "We are so useless. We didn''t even force out the Tianyu n''s trump card, making the Milky Way Star Lord step in."


    One by one, the human eighth-rank invincible evolvers were excited. The Milky Way Star Lord was too powerful, bing an eighth-rank invincible before the age of one hundred,prehending three types of advanced cosmic power, and even killing two eighth-rank invincible aliens.


    In the history of human civilization, no eighth-rank evolver was as powerful as Lin Yuan. The offspring of the strongest ones could kill other eighth-rank invincibles at the eighth rank.


    But that relied on the gifts of the strongest!


    What about the Milky Way Star Lord?


    He only had one eighth-rank invincible teacher, the Red Kun Star Lord.


    The Red Kun Star Lord''s disciple might be considered a background for other seventh-rank and eighth-rank evolvers, but what did it mean to the equally eighth-rank invincible human evolvers?


    The Milky Way Star Lord reached where he was mostly on his own.


    "Milky Way Star Lord?!"


    The six-winged elder was equally tense. Even though the Tianyu n''s think tank had predicted the possibility of the Milky Way Star Lord''s appearance.


    But when truly facing this legendary eighth-rank invincible, the six-winged elder felt immense pressure.


    This was the Milky Way Star Lord.


    Breaking the myth of the eighth-rank invincible, raising the upper limit of the eighth-rank invincible.


    In the Tianyu n''s analysis of the Milky Way Star Lord, they concluded that his chances of stepping into the ninth rank exceeded ny percent.


    What does ny percent mean? It was almost as if saying, "Milky Way Star Lord, you will definitely step into the ninth rank."


    Human civilization had a vast poption, and their average individual quality was far inferior to the Tianyu n, yet they produced such a monstrous talent, making even the top geniuses of the Tianyu n look dim.


    "Why can''t I lock onto the Milky Way Star Lord''s position? Although he stands there, it''s as if he''s deep within infiniteyers of space, visible but untouchable?"


    The six-winged elder''s eyebrows twitched. He stared tightly at Lin Yuan but found that Lin Yuan seemed like an illusion.


    Buzz.


    The moment Lin Yuan appeared, vast spatial ripples covered all directions.


    Under these spatial ripples, the spatial ripples unleashed by the six-winged elder began to disintegrate, and the human eighth-rank invincible evolvers who were suppressed in speed found themselves breaking free.


    Whoosh.


    Baiyun Star Lord also broke free from his constraints and turned back to join the human eighth-rank invincible evolvers.


    With the Milky Way Star Lord''s arrival, the highestmand of the human civilization evolvers on this battlefield shifted from Baiyun Star Lord to the Milky Way Star Lord.


    "So easily dispelled my killing move?"


    The six-winged elder''s expression was solemn. His spatial ripple killing move wasprehended from deep within his bloodline,bined with his advanced cosmic power, with terrifying might.


    Just a slight disy had suppressed Baiyun Star Lord, an experienced eighth-rank invincible. Yet, in front of the Milky Way Star Lord, it was as fragile as paper.


    "Milky Way Star Lord."


    The six-winged elder did not retreat. Even if he wasn''t a match for the Milky Way Star Lord, he wouldn''t be easily killed.


    Compared to those two eighth-rank invincibles killed by the Milky Way Star Lord, the six-winged elder came from a peak race, with more life-saving methods and an advanced cosmic power.


    Lin Yuan smiled at the six-winged elder: "It''s been a long time since I''ve fought. I hope the treasures you carry are valuable; otherwise, killing you would be boring."


    Upon hearing this, the six-winged elder''s expression turned ugly. "Milky Way Star Lord, are you so confident you can kill me?"


    Both being eighth-rank invincibles, even if the Milky Way Star Lord mastered three types of advanced cosmic power, he mastered one type of advanced cosmic power as well.


    Furthermore, he had deeply explored his bloodline,prehending many killing moves.


    Did the Milky Way Star Lord really think of him as those ordinary eighth-rank invincibles?


    The Milky Way Star Lord''s appearance not only attracted the attention of the human eighth-rank invincible evolvers.


    Many powerhouses from the Tianyu n also became secretly tense.


    "Milky Way Star Lord? He''s known as the most powerful eighth-rank invincible in the history of human civilization?"


    "I wonder what mysteries lie within the three types of advanced cosmic power he mastered."


    "Should we make a move now?"


    "Didn''t you see that themander hasn''t given the order?"


    "Themander is likely testing the Milky Way Star Lord''s strength before deciding on a n and determining how many eighth-rank invincibles are needed to hold him off."


    The eighth-rank invincibles of the Tianyu n stopped their actions, standing and watching.


    Even knowing the Milky Way Star Lord had the power to kill eighth-rank invincibles, they didn''t believe the six-winged elder would fall under his hands.


    At most, he would suffer and be suppressed for a while.


    This would better reveal the Milky Way Star Lord''s strength.


    The six-winged elder felt aggrieved. He stared at Lin Yuan: "Since the Milky Way Star Lord is so confident, I won''t hold back. This spatial treasure containsplete spatial rules and was crafted by a powerful ninth-rank expert of my n."


    "I''d like to see how you, Milky Way Star Lord, will kill me with this treasure protecting me."


    The six-winged elder raised his right hand, a silver-white cube floating and slowly rotating.


    He was ready to risk it all. Such a spatial treasure was usually a trump card, but facing the Milky Way Star Lord, he didn''t bother hiding it, as it would be used immediately anyway.


    "Not bad."


    "Your Tianyu n is quite generous."


    Lin Yuan observed the silver-white cube in the six-winged elder''s hand and nodded slightly.


    This treasure, although not a ninth-rank treasure, was just as valuable, containingplete spatial rules. It could serve as both a weapon and an object forprehension.


    "Go."


    The six-winged elder activated the silver-white cube, and the surrounding space began to ripple again. Strands of spatial power transformed into spatial storms, sweeping towards Lin Yuan.


    Lin Yuan quietly watched everything.


    With the silver-white cube, the six-winged elder''s strength was enough to suppress ordinary eighth-rank invincibles. The silver-white cube was an "external force," equivalent to a ninth-rank treasure.


    Lin Yuan looked at the rapidly approaching spatial ripples and slightly moved his mind. Instantly, the violent spatial power began to calm down, and the silver-white cube stopped rotating, falling silent.


    "What?" The six-winged elder couldn''t believe it. The Milky Way Star Lord''s mastery of space surpassed his control of the silver-white cube?


    "With myprehension of space and this spatial treasure, how could anyone suppress me so thoroughly in space?"


    The six-winged elder couldn''t ept what he was seeing.


    "Unless..."


    The six-winged elder looked at Lin Yuan, a thought suddenly popping into his mind.


    Unless Lin Yuan hadpletelyprehended theplete spatial rules. Only then could he be so overwhelmingly dominant in the spatial domain.


    The silver-white cube indeed containedplete spatial rules, but it was ultimately a weapon, a dead object. When encountering someone who had fullyprehended theplete spatial rules, it was naturally suppressed.


    "Die."


    Lin Yuan looked at the six-winged elder, whose face showed fear, and waved his hand.


    An invisible force pierced through the void, and the six-winged elder''s body stiffened, quickly turning to dust.


    The silver-white cube and the spatial bracelet fell, appearing in Lin Yuan''s hand.


    The power ofplete spatial rules fused with various cosmic powers was something the six-winged elder couldn''t resist.


    The Tianyu n''s side fell silent. They originally intended to see how much the six-winged elder could force the Milky Way Star Lord to reveal his moves.


    But the result was the Milky Way Star Lord merely waving his sleeve, turning the six-winged elder into dust?


    "This power..."


    High above the battlefield, in another spatialyer, a ninth-rank powerhouse from the Tianyu n was originally watching the battle casually.


    But seeing Lin Yuan''s move, his expression changed slightly, showing shock.

    Chapter 288


    "Spatial rules?"


    "Mastered theplete spatial rules?"


    This ninth-rank powerhouse of the Tianyu n stared at Lin Yuan with a look of astonishment.


    Even the six-winged elder could guess and sense it in the end, so he naturally could see it as well.


    The only possibility for the Milky Way Star Lord to instantly dispel the silver-white cube containingplete spatial rules was absolute control over space.


    One thought creates space.


    And this can only be achieved by mastering theplete spatial rules.


    "Not even a hundred years old, and alreadyprehended theplete spatial rules?"


    The ninth-rank powerhouse of the Tianyu n was somewhat stunned. The name of the Milky Way Star Lord had also spread among their ranks. Comprehending three types of advanced cosmic power almost guaranteed reaching the ninth rank.It''s important to know that all of their ninth-rank powerhouses had to go through countless difficulties to reach this level.


    Originally, this ninth-rank powerhouse of the Tianyu n thought Lin Yuan''s achievements had some luck involved. After all,prehending cosmic power does have random factors.


    Cosmic power cannot be replicated, simted, nor does it have a specific path.


    Some brilliant powerhouses might notprehend cosmic power in their entire lifetime at the eighth rank, while some rtively mediocre eighth ranks might stumble upon a cosmic power.


    But now, with the Milky Way Star Lordprehending theplete spatial rules, it was different.


    Whileprehending cosmic power might involve randomness and luck,prehending theplete spatial rules could only be achieved through one''s own effort.


    Moreover, among all the races in the cosmic starry sky, those who couldprehend theplete spatial rules at the eighth rank were extremely rare, far fewer than the number of ninth or tenth-rank powerhouses.


    "This is troublesome." The ninth-rank powerhouse of the Tianyu n frowned. A being who hadprehended theplete spatial rules was far more troublesome than an eighth-rank invincible.


    With a higher understanding of space, a being who hadprehended theplete spatial rules could easily toy with a group of eighth-rank invincibles, banishing them to the depths of the void throughyers of space.


    Moreover, the Milky Way Star Lord had not onlyprehended theplete spatial rules.


    "We must win this war."


    The ninth-rank powerhouse of the Tianyu n immediately began contacting their powerhouses.


    "Soranth, you hold a ninth-rank defensive treasure,e over here." Using himself as a coordinate, the ninth-rank powerhouse summoned a Tianyu n powerhouse from their homnd star domain.


    Soranth, one of the top ten geniuses of the current era in the Tianyu n, had a fifty percent chance of reaching the ninth rank.


    He hadprehended an advanced cosmic power within just ten thousand years and had deeply explored his bloodline, mastering three bloodline talents.


    The ninth-rank powerhouse of the Tianyu n did not expect Soranth to defeat the Milky Way Star Lord. He only needed to hold off or distract part of the Milky Way Star Lord''s attention.


    As long as the Milky Way Star Lord could not unrestrainedly attack the eighth-rank invincibles of the Tianyu n, they still had a chance to win this war.


    On the side of human civilization.


    In theyers of space, a ninth-rank evolver also looked at Lin Yuan in shock.


    His name was ''Xn,'' the ninth-rank evolver stationed in this battlefield for human civilization.


    "He actuallyprehended theplete spatial rules?"


    ''Xn'' blinked. Back when heprehended theplete spatial rules, it took him several thousand years.


    These thousands of years were after he had already reached the ninth rank.


    ''Xn,'' being at a high level, found it much easier toprehend the spatial rules than an eighth-rank evolver.


    "This little guy..."


    ''Xn'' didn''t know how to describe it for a moment.


    To be a ninth rank, one must be a prodigy of their time, but nowpared to the Milky Way Star Lord, he felt like he had wasted all those years.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord''s talent and aptitude far exceed the rumors. Such a treasure must be protected."


    ''Xn'' immediately focused, preventing the ninth-rank powerhouses of the Tianyu n from making desperate moves.


    Even if the Milky Way Star Lord was just an avatar now, there were ways to influence the main body through the avatar.


    In ''Xn''s'' heart, the importance of the Milky Way Star Lord now outweighed the victory or defeat of the war.


    The war with the Tianyu n could be lost, but the Milky Way Star Lord must not be harmed. If necessary, he would break the unspoken rules to ensure the Milky Way Star Lord''s safety.


    In the center of the battlefield.


    Lin Yuan was inventorying the spatial bracelet of the six-winged elder.


    "So poor."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. There were no valuable treasures in the bracelet, totaling roughly the value of a few thousand universe crystals.


    This was normal. Any eighth-rank invincible who dared toe to the battlefield was prepared for death and naturally wouldn''t carry precious treasures on them.


    "However, this spatial treasure should be quite valuable." Lin Yuan nced at the silver-white cube nearby.


    This treasure was the trump card the Tianyu n used for this war, to prevent human civilization from deploying ninth-rank treasures.


    And now it had fallen into Lin Yuan''s hands.


    At this moment.


    A Tianyu n powerhouse with eight pairs of wings and wearing purple armor appeared on the battlefield, following the spatial ripples.


    "My name is Soranth. Milky Way Star Lord, your opponent is me." As soon as Soranth appeared, the originally panicked eighth-rank invincibles of the Tianyu n calmed down slightly.


    Soranth was one of the top ten geniuses of the Tianyu n below the ninth rank, far surpassing the previous six-winged elder in strength.


    Moreover, the purple armor Soranth wore emitted deep, fluctuating auras, clearly a ninth-rank defensive treasure.


    With Soranth''s strength and a ninth-rank defensive treasure, even though the Milky Way Star Lord hadprehended theplete spatial rules, dealing with him wouldn''t be easy.


    Why did the six-winged elder fall so easily to the Milky Way Star Lord? It was entirely because that spatial treasure was utterly countered!


    Who knew beforehand that the Milky Way Star Lord hadprehended theplete spatial rules?


    If the six-winged elder had known, he would never have used that silver-white cube.


    On the battlefield, Lin Yuan looked at the eight-winged Soranth.


    "A ninth-rank defensive treasure?" Lin Yuan''s eyes brightened slightly. This was a good item, no less valuable than the spatial treasure, a weapon crafted by a ninth-rank powerhouse.


    "Milky Way Star Lord."


    Soranth felt immense pressure.


    ''I have eight-wing qualifications, one of the top ten eighth-rank powerhouses of the Tianyu n, mastering three bloodline talents, and now holding a ninth-rank treasure, I feel I have the power to kill an eighth-rank invincible...''


    Soranth''s thoughts spun, gradually regaining confidence.


    No matter how powerful the Milky Way Star Lord was, so what? His goal wasn''t to defeat the Milky Way Star Lord.


    Holding him off! That''s enough!


    "Make your move."


    "Otherwise, you won''t have a chanceter."


    Lin Yuan nced at Soranth and said.


    Allowing the opponent to attack first wasn''t out of arrogance but a desire to see what techniques the opponent had and to see if they could be integrated into his martial arts system.


    Getting stronger through battles described someone like Lin Yuan, who had unrivaled insight. Even enemies could be his nourishment.


    "Alright."


    Soranth''s mind moved slightly, and endless thunder appeared within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles around him.


    The thunder moved extremely fast, prating throughyers of space, mighty and vast. Most of the thunder formed a thunder defense barrier around him.


    A small portion of the thunder struck towards the Milky Way Star Lord.


    With the previous six-winged elder as a warning, Soranth focused mainly on defense, not expecting his attack to affect the Milky Way Star Lord.


    "Good use of thunder rules." Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    Thunder rules, while not fundamental rules, were excellent for killing power.


    "Go."


    Lin Yuan activated the power of destruction, entangling with Soranth''s thunder power.


    The two forces were in a stalemate. Although Lin Yuan had the upper hand, it was clear that he couldn''t take down Soranth in a short time based on the collision.


    With the ninth-rank defensive treasure, the Milky Way Star Lord''s attacks couldn''t injure Soranth.


    "I... I''ve held off the Milky Way Star Lord?"


    Soranth felt joy and worked even harder.


    "Finally restricted the Milky Way Star Lord." The ninth-rank powerhouse of the Tianyu n also watched, "But the Milky Way Star Lord''s growth speed will surely be a major threat to our n."


    The ninth-rank powerhouse''s gaze was grim. The current Milky Way Star Lord could already influence the oue of a medium-sized battlefield.


    In the future, once fully grown, wouldn''t he influencerge-scale battlefields?


    "Hahaha, as expected of one of our top ten eighth-rank geniuses. What can the Milky Way Star Lord do?"


    "But the Milky Way Star Lord is still too strong, suppressing Soranth. If it weren''t for that ninth-rank treasure..."


    "Regardless, at least we don''t have to face the Milky Way Star Lord ourselves."


    One by one, the eighth-rank invincibles of the Tianyu n breathed a sigh of relief and began to converse.


    "That''s enough."


    After entangling with Soranth for a while, Lin Yuan finally shattered his soul with a slightly superior soul attack.


    With Soranth dead, the ninth-rank defensive treasure naturally fell into Lin Yuan''s hands.


    "What!?"


    "I didn''t expect the Milky Way Star Lord to be proficient in soul attacks too.."


    The ninth-rank powerhouse of the Tianyu n pondered for a moment and then contacted his n, "Bch, you hold a ninth-rank soul defensive treasure,e to the battlefield."


    Bch was also one of the top ten eighth-rank powerhouses of the current era in the Tianyu n. In terms ofbat strength, he was even stronger than Soranth.


    Even Soranth could hold off the Milky Way Star Lord for so long. With a ninth-rank soul defensive treasure, Bch, specifically targeting the Milky Way Star Lord, should be able to fully entangle him.


    Giving the Tianyu n more time in the war.


    "Milky Way Star Lord."


    Bch, burly and unlike the slender members of the Tianyu n, exuded an extremely terrifying aura.


    "I have a ninth-rank soul defensive treasure. Your soul attacks are useless against me."


    Bch was more talking to himself than Lin Yuan, boosting his confidence.


    Half an hourter.


    Lin Yuan and Bch fought for a long time, eventually crushing him on a physical level.


    With Bch''s death, the ninth-rank soul defensive treasure naturally fell into Lin Yuan''s hands.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord''s physical attacks are also terrifying?" The ninth-rank powerhouse of the Tianyu n fell into deep thought.


    "Azura, you carry..."


    The ninth-rank powerhouse continued to contact his n, dispatching another one of the top ten eighth-rank geniuses.


    Two or three hours passed quickly.


    Six of the top ten geniuses of the Tianyu n had already fallen at Lin Yuan''s hands.


    These six eighth-rank invincible geniuses, each carrying a ninth-rank treasure specifically targeting the Milky Way Star Lord, all eventually died difficultly to him.


    "Something''s wrong."


    The ninth-rank powerhouse of the Tianyu n narrowed his eyes.


    The eighth-rank genius of the Tianyu n were holding a ninth-rank treasure, how could they be killed by the Milky Way Star Lord every time?


    If it happened once or twice, it could be a coincidence.


    But this situation happening six times in a row?


    "Is this Milky Way Star Lord deliberately hiding his strength?"


    The ninth-rank powerhouse of the Tianyu n came to his senses.


    "Is he shamelessly trying to stole our ninth-rank treasures?"


    Anger surged within him. For the Tianyu n''s overall foundation, seven or eight ninth-rank treasures weren''t much.


    But for an individual, even a ninth-rank powerhouse like him, seven or eight ninth-rank treasures exceeded his entire worth.


    And now, all these treasures, enough to make an ordinary ninth-rank powerhouse envious, had been given to the Milky Way Star Lord?


    "Stop sending people to entangle the Milky Way Star Lord. Abandon the B0001 battlefield and retreat with full force." At this moment, a voice rang in the ninth-rank powerhouse''s ear.


    "The think tank of our n..." The ninth-rank powerhouse''s expression changed slightly.


    The voice came from a member of the Tianyu n''s think tank.


    For the think tank to make such a decision, there was only one possibility.


    In their analysis and predictions, the Tianyu n no longer had any chance of winning the war.


    "Milky Way Star Lord."


    The ninth-rank powerhouse of the Tianyu n looked again at the Milky Way Star Lord.


    At the start of the war, the think tank''s prediction was an eighty percent chance of victory.


    But now, directly retreating meant acknowledging defeat.


    The only difference during this time was the addition of the Milky Way Star Lord to the battlefield.


    "Everyone, retreat."


    The ninth-rank powerhouse of the Tianyu n immediately issued hismand.


    On a medium-sized battlefield, ninth-rank powerhouses were not allowed to intervene in the war directly.


    They could only give retreat orders, which was still within the rules.


    On the battlefield, the eighth-rank invincibles of the Tianyu n, watching their geniuses fall to the Milky Way Star Lord, felt a surge of unwillingness.


    "If we had one more ninth-rank treasure, we could have held out a bit longer."


    "Indeed, I saw the Milky Way Star Lord struggling to cope."


    "Just a little more."


    The eighth-rank invincibles whispered their opinions.


    Suddenly¡ª


    A cold voice echoed in their ears.


    "Retreat immediately!"


    Themand shocked the eighth-rank invincibles.


    They recognized the voice, belonging to the ninth-rank powerhouse overseeing the war for the Tianyu n!


    "Retreat."


    "We are all retreating?"


    "Does our n think we have no chance of winning?"


    Although puzzled, the eighth-rank invincibles adhered strictly to orders, especially from their ninth-rank powerhouse.


    In an instant.


    The eighth-rank invincibles began retreating frantically.


    High in the sky.


    Lin Yuan waited for a moment but didn''t see another Tianyu n powerhouse with a ninth-rank treasure.


    At the same time, he noticed the frenzied retreat of the eighth-rank invincibles.


    "Hmm?"


    "Have they realized?"


    Lin Yuan sighed inwardly. Since the Tianyu n sent the second genius with a ninth-rank treasure.


    Lin Yuan had an idea to deliberately suppress his strength, leading the Tianyu n to believe they had a chance to hold him off.


    Thus, they would send one powerhouse after another with ninth-rank treasures.


    Just pretending for a while, wasting half an hour, could yield a treasure worth tens of thousands of universe crystals.


    This deal was too lucrative.


    But unfortunately.


    The Tianyu n''s reaction was swift.


    Upon realizing something was wrong, they abandoned the war and ordered all the eighth-rank invincibles to retreat.


    "In that case..."


    Lin Yuan looked at the fleeing eighth-rank invincibles of the Tianyu n.


    "Let the massacre begin!"

 Chapter 289

    Chapter 289


    For Lin Yuan, spending more than half an hour to kill the ten strongest eighth-Rank geniuses of the Tianyu Race, each holding a ninth-rank secret treasure, was the result of holding back his full strength.


    During the battle, he even had to be extremely cautious, fearing that he might identally crush them prematurely.


    However, the eighth-Rank invincible evolvers among the human observers were deeply shocked.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord killed another invincible eighth-Rank wielder of a ninth-rank secret treasure?"


    "And this invincible eighth-Rank being is one of the ten strongest eighth-Rank lives of the Tianyu Race?"


    The eighth-Rank invincible evolvers were astonished. Even among invincible eighth-Rank beings, there are differences in strength.


    The invincible eighth-Rank beings sent by the Tianyu Race were undoubtedly the very top tier, and they were equipped with ninth-rank secret treasures?


    Yet, they were killed one by one by the Milky Way Star Lord?


    How unbelievable is this?"As expected of the Milky Way Star Lord!" The Baiyun Star Lord was excited. Lin Yuan, with his own strength, hadpletely dominated the Tianyu Race''s topbat power.


    This greatly boosted the morale of the humans.


    In this situation, the Baiyun Star Lord was confident they would not lose this war.


    "Take advantage of this moment andunch a counterattack immediately."


    The Baiyun Star Lord was about tomand the numerous eighth-Rank invincible evolvers.


    Then, he saw an incredible sight.


    In the distance, the invincible eighth-Rank beings of the Tianyu Race, as if frightened, began to retreat.


    "What?"


    The Baiyun Star Lord was stunned.


    He could not understand why the Tianyu Race would retreatpletely.


    This meant they were giving up on this battlefield and this war.


    Why?


    Although the Milky Way Star Lord was strong, it wasn''t too outrageous. After all, it took him more than half an hour; the Tianyu Race could have sent more invincible eighth-Rank strong beings to hold him off.


    Why retreat directly?


    The Baiyun Star Lord couldn''t understand.


    Neither could the invincible eighth-Rank evolvers of human civilization.


    However.


    At this moment.


    Lin Yuan, who was standing in the sky above the battlefield, silently disappeared.


    Deep within multipleyers of space, a ninth-rank strong being of the Tianyu Race''s expression suddenly changed dramatically.


    "This is bad."


    This ninth-rank strong being wanted to make a move but ultimately held back.


    Buzz.


    The next moment.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared above the heads of the numerous fleeing invincible eighth-Rank beings of the Tianyu Race.


    "Die!"


    Lin Yuan moved his mind, unleashing the power of space rules and the cosmic power.


    This power was not fully formed, only halfway merged, but it was barely usable.


    Boom.


    The invisible fusion power swept in all directions, turning the invincible eighth-Rank beings of the Tianyu Race into powder, as fragile as thin paper.


    "No"


    A few invincible eighth-Rank beings who had already fled far away showed expressions of terror, but they were also turned to powder by the sweeping invisible fusion power.


    In just a few breaths, dozens of invincible eighth-Rank beings of the Tianyu Race, who had scattered and fled, all fell to their deaths.


    Although these invincible eighth-Rank beings still had their true bodies and were notpletely dead, forming an avatar with strength close to the true body is not an easy task.


    It can be predicted that for a long time toe, these invincible eighth-Rank beings of the Tianyu Race will be unable to support other battlefields.


    "Space rings and bracelets..."


    Lin Yuan raised his right hand, and dozens of space storage treasures from those invincible eighth-Rank beings of the Tianyu Race fell into his hand.


    Although these invincible eighth-Rank beings wouldn''t carry overly precious treasures on them, to ensure thebat power of their avatars, they would at least carry eighth-rank level weapon secret treasures.


    These weapon secret treasures, while individually not highly valuable, collectively amounted to a considerable fortune, not less than 200,000 universe crystals.


    "This, this..."


    In the territory of the Tianyu Race, the true bodies of the invincible eighth-Rank beings opened their eyes. They had just lost their avatars, and their expressions were filled with horror.


    "How could this be?"


    "The Milky Way Star Lord''s strength is terrifying."


    "Ninth-rank, this must be ninth-rank. The human civilization has vited the rules by deploying a ninth-rank evolver."


    "It shouldn''t be ninth-rank; otherwise, our ninth-rank beings would have intervened long ago. But even if the Milky Way Star Lord is not ninth-rank, hisbat power exceeds the threshold of ninth-rank, otherwise, he couldn''t crush us like this."


    The hearts of the invincible eighth-Rank beings of the Tianyu Race trembled.


    A newly ascended ninth-rank being, who hasn''tprehendedplete space rules, would find it difficult to kill an invincible eighth-Rank being.


    But the Milky Way Star Lord could sweep through invincible eighth-Rank beings and kill them with ease. Hisbat power was beyond that of ordinary ninth-rank beings.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord was hiding his strength all along."


    "Now I understand why our ninth-rank being ordered a retreat."


    "Human civilization is truly favored by the cosmos, to have birthed such a monstrous talent like the Milky Way Star Lord."


    The invincible eighth-Rank beings of the Tianyu Race spoke withplex emotions, feeling fear, dread, reverence, and a bit of admiration for Lin Yuan.


    To unleash ninth-rankbat power while being at the eighth Rank, though it''s unclear how the Milky Way Star Lord did it, from an evolutionary perspective, he was undoubtedly ahead of them.


    Not just ahead, far beyond any eighth-Rank life of this generation across the cosmic starry sky and all species, including those from peak races, all appeared insignificant before the Milky Way Star Lord.


    On the human side.


    All evolvers watched as the invincible eighth-Rank beings of the Tianyu Race were turned to powder under Lin Yuan''s feet.


    They fell into a stunned silence.


    The scene before them was too stimting. Originally, Lin Yuan spending over half an hour to kill those Tianyu Race geniuses with ninth-rank secret treasures had already excited many human evolvers. But now, the Milky Way Star Lord killed those invincible eighth-Rank beings as easily as killing chickens.


    No, easier than killing chickens, as chickens would struggle, but those invincible eighth-Rank beings of the Tianyu Race couldn''t even struggle and were just gone.


    The human evolvers had imagined winning the war against the Tianyu Race under the Milky Way Star Lord''s leadership, but that would inevitably involve hard-fought battles and even the loss of some invincible eighth-Rank humans.


    But now?


    The Milky Way Star Lord solved it all?


    From beginning to end, aside from the Baiyun Star Lord making a move, the rest of the invincible eighth-Rank evolvers were like ornaments, just watching.


    "Milky Way Star Lord!"


    "Invincible Milky Way Star Lord!"


    All the invincible eighth-Rank beings werepletely fervent. They had never seen an eighth-Rank life form so strong that it could reverse-kill ninth-Rank beings. This was exceedingly rare for the evolvers of human civilization.


    Human civilization had arge poption, but the average aptitude of individuals was at the bottom among peak races, though they asionally produced genius prodigies.


    However, the strong members of peak races also produced prodigious geniuses.


    Over the 2.4 million years of the Star Sea Calendar, the strongest geniuses at each rank from human civilization had slight differencespared to the strongest geniuses of other peak races, with few matching their strength.


    But now.


    The Milky Way Star Lord, despite being at the eighth Rank, was far ahead of the eighth-Rank beings from other peak races.


    Deep within multipleyers of space.


    The ninth-rank strong being of the Tianyu Race stared at Lin Yuan with murderous intent almost spilling out.


    The strength Lin Yuan disyed now was so overwhelming that it made even him nervous. Such an extraordinary talent, the longer he lived, the more losses the Tianyu Race would face in the future.


    "Ancestor..."


    The ninth-rank strong being of the Tianyu Race immediately contacted the ancestral being of the Race.


    The Tianyu Race, like human civilization and the Insect Race, belonged to peak races, standing at the top of the universe, overlooking all races.


    The Tianyu Race had seven ancestors, each a strongest one. In most cases, the seven ancestors did not intervene in matters.


    But now, the ninth-rank strong being of the Tianyu Race thought it necessary to report about the Milky Way Star Lord to the ancestors.


    Soon.


    The ancestor''s reply came to his mind.


    "There is a strongest one of human civilization observing here."


    The ninth-rank strong being of the Tianyu Race was slightly stunned, knowing he couldn''t do anything to the Milky Way Star Lord.


    Even if the ancestor intervened, the strongest one from the human side would also act, making it impossible to kill the Milky Way Star Lord and would escte the war.


    On the other side, deep within multipleyers of space.


    The ninth-rank evolver ''Xn'' from the human side was equally tense, having contacted the strongest one in advance.


    After Lin Yuan killed dozens of invincible eighth-Rank beings of the Tianyu Race within a few breaths, he realized the severity of the situation.


    The Milky Way Star Lord''s aptitude far exceeded expectations.


    He alone could not stop the Tianyu Race''s murderous intent, so he directly contacted the strongest one.


    The result of the reply from the strongest one...


    They were already observing here, so there was no need to panic.


    "It seems the incredible talent of the Milky Way Star Lord had long caught the eyes of several strongest ones from human civilization," Xn thought to himself.


    Under normal circumstances, even if the strongest ones were observing this ancient alien battlefield, they would only split a negligible part of their consciousness.


    But the reply from the strongest one seemed to suggest they were watching?


    Swoosh.


    Lin Yuan''s figure disappeared again.


    He reappeared next to the invincible eighth-Rank beings of the human side.


    "I''ll leave the cleanup to you now." Lin Yuan looked at the Baiyun Star Lord, "I''ll be off now."


    "Thank you, Milky Way Star Lord." The Baiyun Star Lord and the invincible eighth-Rank beings were excited and thrilled. Even the youngest among them was nearly ten thousand years old, but at this moment, they were filled with admiration and even pride for Lin Yuan.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, your strength must have surpassed many ninth-Rank beings." The Baiyun Star Lord couldn''t help but exim.


    "Surpassed ninth-Rank?"


    Lin Yuan smiled faintly.


    The Tai Chi Primordial Spirit indeed possessed strength beyond ordinary ninth-Rank beings, but Lin Yuan''s strongestbat power still resided in his true body.


    The inner world spanning over a hundred million miles provided a substantial boost to his strength, making it a qualitative change.


    "Get to the cleanup."


    Lin Yuan said casually.


    With the loss of dozens of invincible eighth-Rank beings, the Tianyu Race would certainly not continue to reinforce this battlefield.


    Reinforce?


    Reinforce so Lin Yuan could kill more?


    The Tianyu Race, though with profound resources, losing dozens of invincible eighth-Rank beings was no small matter. They were not foolish.


    With Lin Yuan disying such over-the-topbat power, no matter how many eighth-Rank beings they sent, they would only face death.


    Given this, it was better to abandon battlefield B0001 and minimize the losses.


    "Swish!"


    Lin Yuan lingered for a moment, watching as the human evolvers quickly took control of the situation, confirming that the Tianyu Race had no further interest in this battlefield, and then silently disappeared.


    Lin Yuan''s rampage on the alien battlefield B0001, killing dozens of invincible eighth-Rank beings, including six of the strongest eighth-Rank lives of the Tianyu Race, spread like a storm to other battlefields.


    In numerous medium-sized battlefields, aliens began to fear. Since Lin Yuan could appear on battlefield B0001, he could naturally descend on their battlefields.


    Given the Milky Way Star Lord''s strength to kill dozens of invincible eighth-Rank beings, wouldn''t he dominate other alien battlefields as well?


    Who could stop the Milky Way Star Lord?


    For a while, major races felt immense pressure, leading to a strategic contraction on battlefields. They avoided stepping out of their ''strongholds'' unless absolutely necessary.


    The pressure on human civilization''s evolvers on various battlefields suddenly reduced, and the situation reversed.


    Even several peak races secretly bestowed tenth-rank secret treasures to prevent the Milky Way Star Lord''s descent.


    Since human civilization began its outward expansion, no eighth-Rank life had ever single-handedly influenced all medium-sized and small alien battlefields, causing aliens on those battlefields to tremble and change their strategies.


    This was something only a strongest one could achieve.


    After acting, Lin Yuan returned to the 30,000-meter-long permanent space rift to continue umting boundary-breaking source power.


    "Unfortunately, such a battlefield sweep can only be done once; the risk would increase rapidly the second time."


    Lin Yuan sighed.


    This time, he managed to sweep battlefield B0001 because he caught the Tianyu Race off guard.


    The Tianyu Race never anticipated Lin Yuan''s terrifying strength, where invincible eighth-Rank beings were casually killed by him.


    But after this experience, other aliens on battlefields would be wary and certainly have countermeasures against Lin Yuan.


    For instance, tenth-rank secret treasures?


    Or other once-off treasures with terrifying power?


    Even if an invincible eighth-Rank being couldn''t fully utilize a tenth-rank secret treasure''s power, it could still threaten Lin Yuan. After all, it was a weapon for tenth-rank beings.


    "That''s about enough."


    "Because of precautions against me, aliens on those battlefields will be cautious, which will alleviate some pressure for human evolvers."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    He single-handedly influenced other battlefields by exploiting the rule that only eighth-Rank beings could act in medium-sized alien battlefields.


    But to truly influence the bigger picture and other peak races.


    One had to be a strongest one.


    Milky Way Home Star.


    Lin Yuan''s Yin Primordial Spirit arrived, bringing the spoils from battlefield 0001.


    The Yang Primordial Spirit was stationed at the 30,000-meter-long permanent space rift to maintain the efficiency of umting a strand of boundary-breaking source power every 150 days.


    As for the Yin Primordial Spirit, it was free to deliver the spoils to Lin Yuan.


    "Big gain."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face; only he knew the extent of this gain.


    "Hmm? The Goddess of Freedom has already settled one-tenth of the total merits? The merit points are already credited to my ount?"


    Lin Yuan hadn''t yet counted the spoils when he received more good news.


    "I wonder how many merit points..." Lin Yuan looked expectantly and began checking immediately.


    ...

 Chapter 290

    Chapter 290


    Battlefield B0001 is the battlefield where the two peak races, human civilization and the Tianyu n, sh.


    Although the scale of forces involved from both sides isn''trgepared torge-scale battlefields, the total merit points obtained from a single war on this battlefield, even if only a tenth, is a huge number.


    It''s enough to make high-ranking evolvers ''dedicate'' themselves for tens of thousands of years, even a hundred thousand years.


    "Twenty-seven million merit points."


    Lin Yuan confirmed thetest merit points in his ount, smiling.


    This number met Lin Yuan''s expectations and even exceeded them.


    To put it in perspective, Lin Yuan received only twenty-two million merit points for creating theplete eighth-rank martial arts chapter, judged by the three goddesses.


    Indeed, whether it was the eighth-rank martial arts chapter or the first and second-rank martial arts chapters...


    Even though Lin Yuan uploaded them, the ownership remained his.The human civilization''s official role is more like a ''mediator'', ultimately still requiring them to give Lin Yuan a share.


    But an ie close to thirty million merit points is definitely a huge profit.


    "This is the fortune of war."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. In peacetime, umting so many merit points would have been a massive effort.


    But now, it was achieved in just one war.


    Of course, Lin Yuan also knew that even on alien battlefields, earning so many merit points was notmon.


    First, it requires a sufficiently intense war and a victory.


    If the humans had lost or tied in the war against the Tianyu n, Lin Yuan''s share of merit points would have been far less than twenty-seven million.


    Secondly, someone like Lin Yuan, who receives a direct share from the total merit points, is rare.


    Lin Yuan had this privilege, but other invincible eighth-rank beings didn''t qualify for it. Most invincible eighth-rank beings could earn only about a hundred or two hundred thousand merit points in this war.


    A sufficiently intense war usuallysts for decades or even centuries. The Tianyu n had been fighting human evolvers for over a hundred years beforeunching a full-scale war when they realized human civilization was struggling.


    "Besides merit points, there are also those eight ninth-rank secret treasures and one space secret treasure." Lin Yuan raised his right hand.


    Nine palm-sized weapons floated in front of him, slowly rotating and exuding a terrifying aura.


    Lin Yuan had deliberately suppressed his strength, inducing the Tianyu n to send one eighth-rank being after another holding ninth-rank secret treasures. It made the Tianyu n look foolish.


    But in reality, this was based on theirck of understanding of Lin Yuan''s true strength.


    Before Lin Yuan broke through the battlefield, even the peak races wouldn''t have expected such a powerful eighth-rank being.


    Killing invincible eighth-rank beings like killing chickens.


    Havingbat power beyond ordinary ninth-rank beings.


    With strong beings from both peak races watching the battlefield, they couldn''t directly determine Lin Yuan''s true strength and could only send their strong beings to test him.


    As for why they didn''t send all at once? Each time Lin Yuan made a move, he didn''t show overwhelming superiority, so why would they reveal all their cards from the start?


    Actually, even if they had sent them all at once, it wouldn''t have changed the oue. With Lin Yuan''s current strength, even just an avatar, he was an invincible existence at the eighth rank.


    "These nine secret treasures, each worth between fifty thousand to one hundred thousand universe crystals,bined are worth at least four hundred fifty thousand universe crystals, and at most nine hundred thousand universe crystals."


    Lin Yuan made a quick estimate, unable to suppress the smile on his face.


    Having just finished his eighth transmigration, Lin Yuan had been distressed over the eighty thousand universe crystals spent on the Taiwei Clear Crystal. But shortly after, he had millions, even tens of millions of universe crystals in wealth.


    Such a fortune in universe crystals would be considered wealthy even among ninth-rank strong beings.


    "My merit points should now be enough to upgrade to an eighth-level citizen."


    Lin Yuan suddenly thought.


    Upgrading from a seventh-level citizen to an eighth-level citizen requires fifty million merit points.


    Lin Yuan earned twenty-two million merit points for uploading the eighth-rank martial arts chapter. Adding the previous remaining points, he had twenty-six million merit points.


    Now, with the newly received twenty-seven million merit points.


    Lin Yuan''s total merit points reached a staggering fifty-three million.


    "Let''s upgrade to an eighth-level citizen directly."


    Lin Yuan didn''t hesitate and contacted the Goddess of Wisdom to upgrade his citizen level.


    Every upgrade in citizen level required the Goddess of Wisdom''s attention, mainly to ensure the legality andpliance of the channels through which the merit points were obtained.


    "Honorable Schr Lin Yuan, your citizen level has been upgraded to level eight."


    The solemn and cold voice of the Goddess of Wisdom came.


    "An eighth-level citizen."


    Lin Yuan nced at the citizen level section, which had changed from ''seven'' to ''eight''.


    The eighth-level citizen is a qualitative leap. Often, in a Star Alliance governing hundreds or thousands of star domains, there are only three or four eighth-level citizens in one era.


    Even many evolver schrs have never reached the eighth rank in citizen level. Fifty million merit points are extremely difficult to obtain, requiring evolver schrs to continuously develop results that advance human civilization.


    Although not limited to evolutionary paths, after millions of years of effort by numerous evolver schrs, this method of obtaining merit points has be increasingly difficult.


    "The privileges of an eighth-level citizen..."


    As Lin Yuan upgraded to an eighth-level citizen.


    Emails from the Central Star Domain of human civilization poured in.


    Besides congrattions, they introduced the benefits and privileges of an eighth-level citizen.


    Compared to a seventh-level citizen, the benefits and privileges of an eighth-level citizen are greatly enhanced.


    First is the eighth-rank evolution potion, which can forcibly elevate a seventh-rank evolver to the eighth rank. Although only with the basic destructive power of the eighth rank, far from the perfection of an eighth-rank evolver who has developed an internal world and undergone the heart demon tribtion.


    Such forcibly elevated eighth-rank evolvers may even be weaker than some peak seventh-rank evolvers.


    But at least in terms of lifespan, they are no less than regr eighth-rank evolvers.


    This is also something human civilization hopes for; as long as eighth-level citizens are alive, they have the potential to create great value for human civilization.


    As forbat power? Human civilization hasn''t fallen to the point where they need eighth-level citizens to defend the continuity of the race.


    There are plenty of evolvers and Star Lords for that.


    "Automatically bing the Grand Chancellor of the Beihan Star Alliance?"


    Lin Yuan nced at one of the eighth-level citizen privileges.


    The Beihan Star Alliance is where the Milky Way Star Domain is located, a newly developed Star Alliance epassing 1,335 star domains.


    The Grand Chancellor is the highest position in a Star Alliance. Although unable to directlymand all Star Lords within the alliance, they have significant influence over the star domains.


    They can even dismiss or reassign a Star Lord based on their actions.


    Currently, the Beihan Star Alliance, being newly established, has no Grand Chancellor. Lin Yuan is now effectively the first Grand Chancellor.


    In other words, Lin Yuan is now the undisputed highest authority in the Beihan Star Alliance.


    Especially in this edge star domain alliance, where the boundaries of star domains are not yet stabilized, the power of the Grand Chancellor is immensely significant.


    "Honorable Eighth-level Citizen Schr Lin Yuan, would you like to conceal your identity as the Grand Chancellor?"


    The solemn and cold voice of the Goddess of Wisdom came.


    The names of legitors in various Star Alliances are listed, and the Grand Chancellor''s name appears on a higher-level list.


    "Conceal it."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    Revealing the Grand Chancellor''s identity would bring him no benefits, only disadvantages. He could still enjoy the powers of the Grand Chancellor without exposing his identity.


    "Eighth-level citizens can establish an evolver family with the ''Human'' prefix?"


    Lin Yuan continued browsing the privileges of an eighth-level citizen and was suddenly astonished by this.


    Evolver families in human civilization are countless, with many established and dissolved daily.


    But an evolver family with the ''Human'' prefix is extremely rare and almost never dissolves.


    Such a family is protected by all of human civilization. Unless theymit acts of treason, these families coexist with human civilization.


    All evolver families aim to have the ''Human'' prefix, which is an unprecedented honor.


    "Unexpectedly, bing an eighth-rank citizen grants this qualification."


    Lin Yuan marveled at this. Many high-level citizen privileges and benefits are confidential and protected, unknown until reaching that level.


    "A human-prefixed evolver family."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts wandered.


    For example, if he established an evolver family now, it could be called the ''Human Lin Family.''


    Members of a human-prefixed evolver family enjoy the favor of the three goddesses and some resource tilts.


    "Other privileges."


    Lin Yuan calmed himself and continued reading.


    Many of the eighth-level citizen privileges and benefits are upgraded versions of those for seventh-level citizens. For example, a seventh-level citizen enjoys a guard teamposed entirely of seventh-rank evolvers.


    An eighth-level citizen enjoys a guard teamposed of eighth-rank evolvers.


    But this aspect is meaningless to Lin Yuan.


    A guard team of eighth-rank evolvers? With Lin Yuan''s current strength, he can easily kill invincible eighth-rank beings, let alone ordinary eighth-rank evolvers.


    In the virtual world, in a mysterious space.


    Five towering figures, including the Strongest One Xia Qin, the Strongest One Gu Li, and the Strongest One Yu Die, appeared, sitting on high thrones.


    "Hehe, those fools from the Tianyu n, thinking they could take advantage of us," the Strongest One Xia Qin sneered.


    Human civilization and the Tianyu n are both peak races, and their strongest ones and ancestors have shed before. Xia Qin despises the ancestors of the Tianyu n.


    Those bird people never dare to confront him directly, always using their evolutionary ''authority'' to fight sneakily.


    "The Tianyu n did suffer a loss this time," the Strongest One Yu Die chuckled.


    They had observed everything happening on Battlefield B0001, even specting whether the ancestors of the Tianyu n would lose their temper and personally intervene, regardless of the consequences.


    Lin Yuan deliberately showed weakness, luring the Tianyu n geniuses to their deaths. Even though these geniuses were only avatars, the n lost face.


    Especially for the strongest ones, who overlook the cosmic starry sky, being invincible and fearless, their reputation is paramount.


    Having their young ones crushed by a human counterpart is a severe blow to their pride.


    "But speaking of which, the Milky Way Star Lord, that kid, is unbelievably strong. Besides those rare and unique special beings, can our human civilization evolvers also suppress ninth-rank beings at the eighth Rank?"


    The Strongest One Gu Li couldn''t help but say.


    Although he is a strongest one, he knew that when he was at the eighth Rank, he was nowhere near Lin Yuan''s terrifyingbat power.


    "Let me take a look."


    The Strongest One Xia Qin looked ahead, where scenes of Lin Yuan fighting on the battlefield appeared.


    "Fullyprehended space rules, halfway through merging rules, yet the merged power is excessively strong."


    The Strongest One Xia Qin nodded slightly.


    Even knowing that Lin Yuan hadprehended three high-level cosmic powers and theplete space rules, merging them, the power was still beyond expectation.


    "Maybe this kid''s evolutionary path is special?" The Strongest One Yu Die smiled.


    "But the stronger he is, isn''t it better? Our human civilization can only grow stronger with such geniuses."


    "Indeed."


    The Strongest One Xia Qin and the Strongest One Gu Li nodded slightly.


    Only with this can human civilization continue to prosper.


    "By the way."


    "Isn''t it about time for that cosmic secret realm to open?" the Strongest One Yu Die suddenly said.


    "That cosmic secret realm..." The Strongest One Xia Qin frowned.


    The so-called cosmic secret realms are small worlds attached to the main world.


    They are originally hidden deep withinyers of space but, for some reason, connect with the main spatialyer.


    The ck Abyss n in the Insect Race Alliance originates from the ck Abyss Secret Realm.


    The spatialyer where the ck Abyss Secret Realm resides formed a passage with the main spatialyer, and the strongest ones of the Insect Race forcibly pulled the ck Abyss Secret Realm into the main space.


    Thus, the ck Abyss n was born.


    "Thest time that cosmic secret realm opened was two hundred thousand years ago. I remember our human civilization suffered significant losses."


    The Strongest One Gu Li said.


    "But we also gained a lot."


    The Strongest One Yu Die replied.


    Milky Way Star.


    Lin Yuan was fullyprehending the ''Chaos Crystal.''


    This treasure, which the owner of the Devil Jade Tower identally obtained, had great significance for Lin Yuan''s rule fusion.


    Although the Chaos Crystal did not contain specific ''demonstrations'' of fusing space rules and the Tao of Tai Chi with various cosmic powers.


    Observing the fusion of other rules, especially between basic and pir rules, profoundly impacted Lin Yuan.


    Drawing one from ten.


    Drawing one from a hundred.


    "Once the space rules and the Tao of Tai Chi, along with various cosmic powers, are fully fused, there will be a major transformation. At that point, the power of the fused rules will be vastly superior to just being halfway merged."


    Lin Yuan thought as he continuedprehending.


    After surpassing the halfway mark in fusion progress, Lin Yuan clearly felt it bing increasingly difficult.


    However, with Unrivaled Insight, the ''Chaos Crystal,'' and asionally revisiting the ''Interpretation of the Void'', Lin Yuan''s fusion speed still progressed at a pace unimaginable for ordinary peak eighth-rank evolvers.


    One day.


    Lin Yuan was continuously attempting to fuse the rules.


    Suddenly.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes.


    "Teacher is looking for me?"


    Lin Yuan thought for a moment, then split a strand of consciousness to connect to the virtual world to meet the Red Kun Star Lord.

    Help me buy a newputer :D /DavidLord


    ...


    Virtual world, personal space.


    Lin Yuan tasted the wine in front of him, smiling at the Red Kun Star Lord.


    Despite Lin Yuan''s current strength far surpassing the Red Kun Star Lord, he still held deep respect for him. Before reaching the eighth rank, if it weren''t for the Red Kun Star Lord''s protection and support, Lin Yuan''s cultivation journey would not have been so smooth.


    The three goddesses could ensure Lin Yuan wouldn''t be oppressed or troubled, but to gain more cultivation resources, many efforts were needed. This included signing personal contracts, joining the Human Evolution Institute, and serving for many years.


    However, the Red Kun Star Lord supported Lin Yuan without expecting anything in return. When he took Lin Yuan as his disciple, he probably never imagined this little disciple would grow so quickly.


    "I didn''t expect the little one back then to grow to this extent now," the Red Kun Star Lord sighed.


    Not long ago, Lin Yuan, on the battlefield against the Tianyu n, crushed and killed many eighth-rank invincibles, a feat the Red Kun Star Lord had heard about.This matter spread wildly in human civilization and was confirmed by ninth-rank evolvers, leaving no doubt about its authenticity. The Red Kun Star Lord was utterly shocked.


    It was unbelievable.


    How did Lin Yuan achieve this?


    "Because the teacher taught well," Lin Yuan said with a smile.


    "My teaching?" The Red Kun Star Lord couldn''t help but roll his eyes. Since Lin Yuan became the Thirteenth Peak Lord, they hadn''t met often, let alone had much teaching.


    Lin Yuan''s growth was too fast. The Red Kun Star Lord often found that by the time he designed a growth path for Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan had already advanced to the next level.


    The Red Kun Star Lord barely had time to teach. He wasn''t sure if he should feel aplished by such a self-taught disciple.


    After chatting for a while, the Red Kun Star Lord brought up the main topic.


    "My disciple, the ''Mysterious Yellow'' secret realm is about to open," the Red Kun Star Lord said solemnly.


    "The Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm?" Lin Yuan pondered.


    "The Mysterious Yellow Evolution Path?" Lin Yuan asked.


    When Lin Yuan faced the first Seven-Star Cave test, it was in the seventh star cave that heprehended the Mysterious Yellow Evolution Path, leading the Red Kun Star Lord to take him as a disciple.


    Lin Yuan was deeply familiar with this evolution path and had longprehended it.


    However, he realized that this path was iplete and only reached the eighth rank. Lin Yuan sensed that the Mysterious Yellow Evolution Path was not a pure evolution path but more like a ''trigger'' or ''key.''


    "Correct. The Mysterious Yellow Evolution Path is something I risked my life to obtain from the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm. I didn''t know its name, so I named it after the secret realm," the Red Kun Star Lord exined.


    "When I got this evolution path, I knew it wasn''t simple, but unfortunately, I didn''t have the talent to cultivate it," he shook his head.


    Because of this, he sought a sessor for this path.


    "I see," Lin Yuan mused.


    "My disciple, if possible, you should try to explore the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm. I suspect the Mysterious Yellow Evolution Path is rted to a certain relic within it," the Red Kun Star Lord said earnestly.


    The Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm was a rare,rge secret realm. Only invincible eighth ranks could pass through its portal, and it couldn''t amodate tenth-rank lifeforms. Only invincible eighth ranks and ninth ranks could enter.


    Twenty thousand years ago, the Red Kun Star Lord, full of vigor, used his Star Sea Kun talent to dominate among the invincible eighth ranks.


    However, he nearly died in the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm. His Star Sea Kun had a source heart, and as long as it remained intact, he wasn''t considered dead.


    He left his source heart outside the secret realm, but if he fell inside, regenerating his body would cost an astronomical amount of energy, bankrupting him.


    "I''ll check it out when the timees," Lin Yuan nodded.


    The Red Kun Star Lord had been to the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm and knew more about it than Lin Yuan. He must have had his reasons for suggesting Lin Yuan explore it.


    "This time, I won''t join the excitement," the Red Kun Star Lord shook his head. The Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm contained secrets that even the strongest ones frequently monitored, but it had nothing to do with the Red Kun Star Lord.


    His current priority was reaching the ninth rank. Without achieving the ninth rank, obtaining the secret realm''s greatest secret was meaningless.


    After advising Lin Yuan, the Red Kun Star Lord left. His purpose was to inform Lin Yuan about the origins of the Mysterious Yellow Evolution Path and its connection to the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm.


    Main Star of the Milky Way Star Domain.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes, deep in thought.


    "The Mysterious Yellow Evolution Path..."


    His expression showed a trace of peculiarity. Lin Yuan had the Martial Evolution Path as his core path but also practiced other evolution paths.


    The Mysterious Yellow Evolution Path was one he practiced. Unlike other paths with numerous hidden dangers, this one was perfect except for being iplete.


    Most evolvers practiced multiple evolution paths. Each had its strengths and weaknesses, and sticking to one made it easy for enemies to exploit.


    However, the core evolution path, perfectly matching the soul before reaching the sixth rank, was paramount. Other paths served as auxiliary methods, enhancing abilities to face unexpected situations.


    "I''ll see what secrets the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm holds."


    Lin Yuan, an eighth-level citizen and an evolution schr, had high permissions. In no time, he found an introduction to the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm in human civilization records.


    "The Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm, located deep within multiple spatialyers, is suspected to be a relic from another cosmic era."


    The simple description shocked Lin Yuan.


    "Another cosmic era?"


    His expression grew serious.


    The universe has a lifespan. Though incredibly long, it will inevitably face destruction and rebirth, with each cycle forming aplete cosmic era.


    The Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm, suspected to be a relic from another era, surviving cosmic cycles, naturally drew the attention of the strongest ones.


    While interested, Lin Yuan knew his current strength might not suffice to secure great opportunities even if he entered the realm.


    Facing eighth-rank lifeforms was easy, but the realm also contained ninth-rank lifeforms. Though hisbat power rivaled strong ninth ranks, it wasn''t enough.


    "I need to reach the ninth rank before considering the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm," Lin Yuan decided.


    He hadpleted 80% of his rule fusion process, with the remaining 20% being a matter of time.


    Once fully fused, he could break through to the ninth rank. Given his eighth-rank foundation, his strength would undergo a qualitative transformation upon reaching the ninth rank.


    In his inner world, Lin Yuan, overlooking the vast 150 million miles expanse, thought about the changes his inner world would undergo upon reaching the ninth rank.


    The transformation involved quality rather than size, with the fusion of space, basic rules, and cosmic power leading his inner world towards bing an inner universe.


    The ultimate goal of developing an inner world was its evolution into an inner universe.


    Various races in the main world researched methods for developing inner worlds. Lin Yuan anticipated expanding his inner world to 160 million miles before reaching the ninth rank.


    Absorbing the mysterious liquid from the gourd, which enhanced his base, continued even after reaching the ninth rank.


    Lin Yuan also noted the hundred-meter-tall world tree in his inner world, significantly impacting the surrounding area. As the tree grew to kilometers and beyond, it would cover the entire inner world.


    With the passage of time, Lin Yuan dedicated himself to absorbing the mysterious liquid and understanding the evolution paths. Four years passed, and two of his disciples, Wu Lan and Mo Li, arrived at the Milky Way Star Domain''s main star.


    They were greeted by Chun Bo, who had been waiting. Lin Yuan aimed to develop the Milky Way Star Domain by absorbing numerous evolvers, starting with his former followers from the Red Kun Lineage.


    Lin Yuan, deep in rule fusion, ceased his enlightenment.


    He had understood 33,331 evolution paths and aimed to reach 33,333 to advance his status in the Devil Jade Tower.


    He had obtained significant intelligence about the Devil Jade Tower and the requirements for various membership levels.


    Understanding the additional paths would make him an ordinary member, even as his abilities approached a critical point.


    Lin Yuan focused onprehending the remaining evolution paths, eager to see the changes after understanding 33,333 evolution paths.

 Chapter 292

    Chapter 292


    Virtual World.


    Many evolvers appeared at the mountain tops, seriously contemting the floating body fragment under the sky.


    This fragment, from a Strongest One outside the realm, was weakened by the virtual world and became a ''training ground'' for human civilization''s seventh and eighth-rank evolvers.


    Despite some hidden dangers during theprehension process, many evolvers who had previously attempted it summarized their experiences, reducing the risks to a certain extent.


    The hidden dangers were minor, but the benefits were numerous.


    For example, it could temper the mind and will, and provide insights into countless demonic evolution paths within the body fragment.


    These factors led to the semi-public nature of this virtual world. Any human evolver who met the strength and condition requirements could apply to enter, rather than just talented evolvers as before.


    "Look, that''s the Milky Way Star Lord."


    "Yes, it''s the Milky Way Star Lord.""Wow, after watching so many videos of the Milky Way Star Lord, I finally see him in person."


    Evolvers on other peaks looked at Lin Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged at the mountaintop, and discussed excitedly.


    Lin Yuan''s numerous achievements had spread across the five major star regions of human civilization, and countless evolvers were passionate and even worshipful towards this Milky Way Star Lord who continuously created miracles.


    "If the Milky Way Star Lord is hereprehending, and I''m hereprehending too, doesn''t that mean I''ve trained with the Milky Way Star Lord?"


    "The Milky Way Star Lord is so strong, yet he''s still so devoted to cultivation. I shouldn''t continue to ck off."


    Many evolvers exchanged quickly, their tone excited, and a few even felt motivated to train harder.


    Lin Yuan had long sensed the gazes of other evolvers on the mountaintops but did not pay attention. His primary focus was onprehending the demonic evolution paths within the body fragment.


    The demonic evolution paths were named by the humanoid statue, Shen Ji, referring to the numerous evolution paths within the body fragment. Indeed, the evolution paths within that body were ''demonic''¡ªnone were perfect orplete, but the profundities contained within were undeniably real.


    "You possess unrivaled insight and areprehending an unknown body, understanding the 33,325th demonic evolution path."


    "You possess unrivaled insight and areprehending an unknown body, understanding the 33,326th demonic evolution path."


    "You possess unrivaled insight and areprehending an unknown body, understanding the 33,327th demonic evolution path."


    Lin Yuan quicklyprehended. Other evolvers spent months or years to understand one demonic evolution path, while Lin Yuan only needed half an hour to fullyprehend it.


    It''sprehending, not just understanding.


    Unrivaled Insight depended on Lin Yuan''s level. Initially, when he encountered this body fragment, he was only at the seventh rank and found it quiteborious toprehend.


    But now, as an eighth-rank invincible, just a step away from the ninth rank, his speed and efficiency inprehension naturally improved greatly.


    "The 33,333rd demonic evolution path."


    Soon, Lin Yuan began toprehend the final demonic evolution path.


    "This demonic evolution path is about emotions."


    Lin Yuan carefully felt it.


    Every life has emotions, it''s just a matter of degree.


    Controlling emotions means controlling oneself, and possibly even those who can''t control their own emotions and desires.


    "Unexpectedly, emotions of life can be used this way?"


    Lin Yuan was amazed. He had always focused on vast rules and hadn''t noticed that the emotions from life itself could be so useful.


    Human civilization had countless evolution paths rted to emotions and desires, but none were as detailed and specific as this demonic evolution path.


    "Emotions and desires are part of me, no need to discard them."


    Lin Yuan quietly opened his eyes. Simultaneously, the demonic evolution path was fullyprehended.


    At the moment Lin Yuanprehended the 33,333rd demonic evolution path, a rumble urred.


    Deep in his soul, the ''nine-story ck building'' shaped Devil Jade Mark began to deepen in color, bing more realistic, almost like a real ''nine-story ck building'' instead of just a mark.


    The next moment, the mind-will pressure from the body fragment, and the murmurs in his ears, suddenly became clear, as if a low, hoarse male voice spoke:


    "Comprehending 33,333 demonic evolution paths at the eighth-rank automatically makes you a core member of the Devil Jade Tower."


    "Core member of the Devil Jade Tower!"


    Lin Yuan''s mind settled. Core members of the Devil Jade Tower held a status far above ordinary members, representing the true elite of the Tower.


    In the heyday of the Devil Jade Tower, core members would be personally summoned by the Tower''s owner. Even now, with the owner''s disappearance, they could still receive the legacy secret arts left by the owner.


    This is why Lin Yuan dyed stepping into the ninth rank, toprehend 33,333 demonic evolution paths at the eighth rank and be a core member of the Devil Jade Tower.


    Different levels of life have different standards for bing a core member.


    Lin Yuan had informed the Wisdom Goddess aboutprehending 3,333 demonic evolution paths long ago, but no human evolver had be an ordinary member of the Devil Jade Tower yet. Was it because those ninth, tenth, or eleventh-rank evolvers were foolish? Of course not.


    Anyone who reached that level of evolution was extraordinary. Even if their insight wasn''t as great as Lin Yuan''s, over time, they would haveprehended 3,333 demonic evolution paths.


    But it was useless.


    Higher-level evolvers had higher requirements for bing ordinary members.


    As for the Strongest Ones, the tests for joining the Devil Jade Tower disappeared with the Tower''s owner.


    In other words, even if the Strongest Onesprehended all demonic evolution paths in the body fragment, they couldn''t be ordinary members of the Devil Jade Tower.


    "It''s time to leave."


    Lin Yuan got up and left the virtual world.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes.


    "Now, directly to the Devil Jade Space."


    Lin Yuan directed a part of his consciousness, following the Devil Jade Mark, to the Devil Jade Space.


    Bing a core member of the Devil Jade Tower entitled him to one of the Tower''s owner''s legacy secret arts, located in the Devil Jade Space.


    Amidst the misty clouds.


    After arriving in the Devil Jade Space, Lin Yuan went straight towards the nine-story ck building.


    Soon.


    Lin Yuan stood before the nine-story ck building.


    "You''re here?"


    The humanoid statue Shen Ji walked out, smiling at Lin Yuan.


    "Hmm?"


    Shen Ji looked at Lin Yuan for a while and suddenly his expression changed, as if seeing a ghost:


    "You became a core member?"


    Shen Ji couldn''t believe it.


    As the guardian of the nine-story ck building, he could see every member''s level¡ªordinary, core, and higher.


    There were more than ten ways to be a core member of the Devil Jade Tower.


    These methods had different focuses, but the most difficult was purely based onprehension.


    An eighth-rank lifeform bing a core member requiredprehending 33,333 demonic evolution paths.


    Lin Yuan, at over two thousand years old, hadprehended theplete space rules and numerous cosmic powers, including a primordial-level cosmic power.


    Such talent and potential had never been seen even during the Devil Jade Tower''s prime.


    Shen Ji never doubted Lin Yuan could pass the core member test based purely onprehension, but this was too fast.


    He had seen Lin Yuan''s progress over the years in space rules, fusion rules, and more. How could he have time toprehend so many demonic evolution paths?


    Or was Lin Yuan''s insight far beyond his imagination, needing very little time toprehend these paths?


    Shen Ji''s shock was hard to calm.


    Since Lin Yuan entered the Devil Jade Space, his emotional fluctuations had surpassed those of countless millennia.


    "Just lucky," Lin Yuan smiled.


    This is called luck? Shen Ji was speechless. If this was luck, then the top talents of the Devil Jade Tower''s past must have all relied on luck too.


    "Alright, let''s not talk about this."


    Shen Ji steadied himself and said, "Since you became a core member, by the rules, you can meet the owner and receive one of the owner''s legacy secret arts."


    "But the owner disappeared long ago, so you can''t meet him."


    Shen Ji looked at Lin Yuan, a bit regretful.


    He could imagine how happy the Devil Jade Tower''s owner would be to see such a monstrous talent like Lin Yuan.


    "So, you can only receive one of the owner''s legacy secret arts."


    Shen Ji said.


    "The Devil Jade Tower owner''s legacy secret arts?"


    Lin Yuan''s eyes lit up.


    The Devil Jade Tower owner was an extraordinary existence, likely stronger than the usual Strongest Ones. The legacy secret arts left by such a being couldn''t be simple.


    Lin Yuan had dyed bing a core member at the eighth rank just for these legacy secret arts.


    "Here are seven legacy secret arts, choose one."


    Shen Ji waved his right hand.


    A light curtain appeared before Lin Yuan.


    One: Devil Jade Undying Body.


    Body like devil jade, eternal and indestructible. Once perfected, it''s unbreakable through countless tribtions.


    Two: Soul Demon Bell.


    A soul defense secret art that forms a bell on the soul''s surface, absorbing soul attacks to temporarily enhance soul strength.


    Three: Great Luo Combat Technique.


    A killing secret art.


    One by one, the legacy secret arts appeared before Lin Yuan.


    The Devil Jade Tower owner''s legacy secret arts were considerate, allowing seventh and eighth-rank lifeforms to try cultivating them.


    There were no entry barriers. They were legacy secret arts, not evolution paths, meaning any being could cultivate them.


    Moreover, each secret art, when perfected, had immense power. Especially the Devil Jade Undying Body, described as ''eternal and indestructible,'' clearly formidable.


    Unfortunately, Lin Yuan already had the blood rebirth divine ability, ovepping with this legacy secret art.


    And to perfect this legacy secret art to ''eternal and indestructible'' might require bing a Strongest One.


    "The seven legacy secret arts left by the owner have their strengths, covering offense, defense, survival, etc. Choose one."


    Shen Ji looked at Lin Yuan.


    "Which one should I choose?"


    Lin Yuan hesitated.


    He could rule out the defensive secret arts since he had Origin Essence Gold guarding his body, soul, and mind, maxing out his defense.


    Against same-level evolvers, Lin Yuan could stand still without them breaking his defense.


    With the blood rebirth divine ability, even if his defense was breached, he could instantly recover.


    As for high-level evolvers, if Lin Yuan couldn''t withstand them, an extra secret art wouldn''t make a big difference.


    No matter how strong a secret art, it depended on the user''s strength.


    Even a baby holding dragon-ying techniques couldn''t y a real dragon.


    Moreover, Lin Yuan had ess to various secret arts from human civilization, though inferior to the Devil Jade Tower''s owner''s, they were usable.


    Thus, his choice should prioritize what he currentlycked most.


    He didn''tck defensive, survival, or offensive secret arts.


    "I choose this one."


    Lin Yuan decided.


    "This legacy secret art?"


    Shen Ji was slightly surprised.


    "Illusion to Reality?"


    Shen Ji''s expression turned odd.


    "Illusion to Reality" was one of the seven legacy secret arts, leaning towards support.


    It allowed the physical body to freely switch between reality and illusion, or between energy and soul forms.


    This legacy secret art could change the basic structure of life, involving higher-level essence.


    But it seemed pointless.


    Even if one cultivated this secret art, transforming from flesh to energy or vice versa, it wouldn''t greatly enhancebat power.


    It wasn''t as impactful as choosing an offensive legacy secret art.


    Shen Ji had predicted Lin Yuan''s potential choices, but "Illusion to Reality" wasn''t one of them, as it seemed less practicalpared to the other six.


    "Are you sure?" Shen Ji asked.


    He hoped Lin Yuan would reconsider and not waste this opportunity.


    The seven legacy secret arts, except for "Illusion to Reality," were top-tier in their fields.


    Even after bing a Strongest One, they would be greatly beneficial.


    "Yes, this one." Lin Yuan said seriously.


    Choosing this legacy secret art, Lin Yuan had thought it through.


    For other strong beings, this secret art might not be very usefulpared to the others.


    But to Lin Yuan, it was the most suitable legacy secret art.

 Chapter 293

    Chapter 293


    The legacy secret art "Illusion to Reality" can transform the essence of life.


    It seems it doesn''t significantly enhancebat power.


    But it''s important to know that Lin Yuan has two primordial spirits.


    Since awakening various physical divine abilities and continually absorbing the liquid from the mysterious gourd, the strength gap between Lin Yuan''s true body and his Yang Primordial Spirit and Yin Primordial Spirit has widened significantly.


    His true body can almost crush the primordial spirit.


    Not to mention the physical divine abilities, the internal world of over 100 million miles alone is enough to surpass the two primordial spirits by several orders.


    The reason for this is that the primordial spiritsck flesh and cannot benefit from the enhancements brought by the physical divine abilities and the liquid from the mysterious gourd.


    This gap will only growrger in the future.


    With more transmigrations, Lin Yuan will gain more physical divine abilities and the final two types of liquid from the mysterious gourd, which enhance his body and internal world.But what if the two primordial spirits could transform from soul bodies into flesh bodies?


    Once the two primordial spirits transform into flesh bodies, they can share Lin Yuan''s true body''s "Blood Rebirth" divine ability and absorb the mysterious liquid from the gourd to enhance themselves.


    Strictly speaking, any of Lin Yuan''s primordial spirits, once transformed into flesh, would be nearly as powerful in purebat as his true body.


    Of course, this refers to purebat power. The true body, possessing numerous treasures and weapons, would still surpass the two primordial spirits significantly.


    Before bing a core member of the Devil Jade Tower, Lin Yuan considered this issue and sought ways to enhance thebat power of his primordial spirit.


    But there was no effective method.


    Many evolvers in human civilization have the talent to convert between flesh and energy.


    For example, in the Cann Star tournament, the top ten contestant "Thunder God" could temporarily transform his body into thunder.


    But this is flesh to energy conversion, as human civilization''s evolvers naturally possess flesh bodies, considering only flesh to energy transformation.


    Not the reverse.


    Even then, flesh to energy conversion has many hidden dangers, with short durations and higher difficulty for stronger bodies.


    Lin Yuan''s desired energy to flesh conversion is even more difficult, involving more fundamental aspects.


    Even with Unrivaled Insight, starting from scratch to deduce the method of energy to flesh conversion would likely take an enormous amount of time, beyond what Lin Yuan''s current level of life could handle.


    But now.


    The Devil Jade Tower owner''s "Illusion to Reality" legacy secret art perfectly meets Lin Yuan''s requirements.


    This secret art allows the body to switch freely between reality and illusion, with no restrictions or energy loss.


    This is simply...


    Lin Yuan couldn''t fathom how the Devil Jade Tower owner achieved this.


    Switching between reality and illusion, which arepletely different essences of life, without energy consumption, and with unlimited transformation?


    "This is ''Illusion to Reality.''"


    The humanoid statue Shen Ji confirmed Lin Yuan''s choice without further persuasion.


    To him, even if Lin Yuan chose wrongly, it wouldn''t be a big problem. With his talent, missing one of the owner''s legacy secret arts wouldn''t matter much.


    Buzz.


    Shen Ji raised his hand, pointing his index finger at Lin Yuan''s forehead.


    Instantly, Lin Yuan felt his consciousness falling, arriving in an infinite space.


    In the center of the space stood a majestic figure.


    Dressed in ck robes, with indifferent eyes seemingly containing the rules of the Dao, the figure shifted between illusion and reality under Lin Yuan''s gaze.


    Reality to illusion.


    Illusion to reality.


    Many details poured into Lin Yuan''s mind.


    "You possess unrivaled insight, receiving mysterious information, deepening your understanding of reality-illusion transformation."


    "You possess unrivaled insight, receiving mysterious information, deepening your understanding of reality-illusion transformation."


    "You possess unrivaled insight, receiving mysterious information, deepening your understanding of reality-illusion transformation."


    "So that''s how it is."


    "Using this method for reality-illusion transformation?"


    "Remarkable, the Devil Jade Tower owner is truly remarkable."


    On the Milky Way Main Star, Lin Yuan''s true body opened his eyes, smiling.


    The "Illusion to Reality" legacy secret art wasn''t like "Interpretation of the Void", which was recorded in text forterprehension and study.


    It was directly instilled in Lin Yuan''s mind, almost like personal guidance from the Devil Jade Tower owner.


    "No wonder bing a core member of the Devil Jade Tower grants only one legacy secret art; the cost of this transmission method is too high."


    Lin Yuan thought.


    This method requires splitting a part of the soul essence to record the legacy secret art, achieving a visceral understanding.


    The recorded legacy secret art also has a limit on transmission times. Lin Yuan even suspected that after transmitting "Illusion to Reality" to him, it might disappear.


    Shen Ji''s repository of legacy secret arts might reduce from seven to six.


    "I''ve almostpletelyprehended the ''Illusion to Reality'' legacy secret art."


    Lin Yuan thought.


    If "Interpretation of the Void" had been transmitted this way, Lin Yuan might haveprehended theplete space rules instantly, rather than taking years to finally understand it.


    "For now, I shouldn''t transform the primordial spirits. First,prehend the final bit of fusion rules."


    Lin Yuan focused his thoughts, continuing toprehend the fusion rules.


    Transforming the primordial spirits into flesh bodies, even with the "Illusion to Reality" legacy secret art, would take several days. Lin Yuan wasn''t sure if this transformation would affect his breakthrough to the ninth rank.


    To be safe, he decided to break through to the ninth rank first.


    There would be plenty of time after reaching the ninth rank.


    "Fusion rules."


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, seriously attempting toprehend.


    He had alreadypleted 99% of the fusion rules; thest bit was just a final leap.


    Complete space rules are vast and endless, and Lin Yuan''s mastery, even if just one aspect, epassing Tai Chi rules, dozens of cosmic powers, and a primordial-level cosmic power, was more than sufficient.


    Lin Yuan concentrated, continuously attempting to fuse the rules.


    Fusion rules aren''t sessful on the first try; they require repeated failures to eventually find the correct fusion method.


    With countless previous attempts and Unrivaled Insight, Lin Yuan soon sessfully fused the final bit.


    Buzz.


    The power of the fully fused space rules, Tai Chi rules, and dozens of cosmic powers emerged before Lin Yuan.


    This power was far superior to the previously semi-fused power, immensely stable and exuding a chilling aura.


    "Fully fused?"


    Lin Yuan was delighted, immediately sensing the changes in himself post-fusion.


    Complete fusion of rules is a prerequisite for reaching the ninth rank.


    Only with the new power from the fused rules can one transform the body, soul, mind-will, and internal world.


    Transitioning from the eighth to the ninth rank is a gradual process. Once the prerequisites are met, there''s virtually no risk.


    "Now?"


    Lin Yuan sensed himself, the fused rules'' power rapidly spreading, integrating into every inch of his flesh, soul, and mind-will.


    "The biggest change is in the internal world."


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness descended into his internal world.


    Whoosh.


    The vast, ocean-like world power surged.


    Lin Yuan overlooked the immense world of over 100 million miles, squinting his eyes.


    Compared to before the fusion of rules, the internal world''s size hadn''t changed.


    But Lin Yuan clearly sensed the internal world undergoing a certain sublimation.


    "Spatialyers, the internal world is generating spatialyers!"


    Lin Yuan murmured.


    The main world universe has nearly infinite spatialyers, each nurturing numerous secret realms and worlds.


    Spatialyers represent the true foundation of a world; moreyers mean a stronger foundation, like aplex maze.


    Previously, Lin Yuan''s internal world had only the main space, no matter how vast, it was exceptionally ''thin''.


    But now, this ''thinness'' was being filled.


    "I can feel it, already starting to step into the ninth rank."


    With each new spatialyer in the internal world, Lin Yuan''s perception heightened.


    "Typically, an eighth-rank peak evolver, after fully fusing rules, takes several months or years to transition, depending on the new power''s strength post-fusion."


    "The stronger the new power, the faster the transformation, and the quicker the transition to the ninth rank."


    "I just fused the rules and am already transitioning to the ninth rank. Is it because my fused power is too strong?"


    Lin Yuan thought, not dying or suppressing the breakthrough but naturally elerating the transformation.


    "Can''t break through on a."


    Lin Yuan''s figure disappeared from the Milky Way Main Star.


    During the ninth-rank breakthrough, the internal world''s creation of spatialyers would pull on the external universe. Staying on the Milky Way Main Star could affect the main star.


    The main star''s B-level modification couldn''t withstand the breakthrough''s aftershocks, especially since Lin Yuan''s breakthrough wasn''t typical.


    In terms of internal world foundation, Lin Yuan''s ninth-rank breakthrough would be dozens or hundreds of times more impactful than normal.


    Whoosh.


    A deste area in the Milky Way Star Domain.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared.


    He fully released his aura, spreading out like a giant celestial body.


    Within millions, even billions of miles, or several light-years, everything was affected.


    Hourster.


    Lin Yuan''s surging aura began to stabilize.


    "Have I crossed into the ninth rank?"


    Lin Yuan stood in the starry sky, marveling at his power.


    "My strength now is vastly superior to before the breakthrough."


    Lin Yuan sent a part of his consciousness into his internal world.


    "Creating tens of thousands of spatialyers... The records of newly advanced ninth-rank evolvers in human civilization usually mention seven or eightyers initially."


    Lin Yuan thought.


    Not to mention the internal world''s size.


    Comparing the number of spatialyers alone:


    A world with tens of thousands ofyers.


    A world with only a fewyers.


    Thetter would inevitably be crushed by the former.


    No, it''s beyond crushing.


    They aren''t even on the same level.


    The foundational difference is too vast.


    "Unfortunately, whether it''s an eighth-rank''s ''thin'' internal world or a ninth or tenth-rank''s multiyered internal world, both rely on the main universe because theyck an independent ''time'' rule."


    Lin Yuan thought.


    Only byprehending the time rules and integrating them into the internal world can the world be independent, controlling the flow of time within it.


    An internal world without time rules relies on the main universe, sharing the same time flow.


    Human Civilization, Central Star Domain.


    On arge, the 3600th substation of the Observation Bureau was located.


    The Human Observation Bureau is responsible for monitoring all abnormal energy fluctuations within human territory, a significant task.


    Most of the universe''s regions are deste starry skies, hard to monitor specifically. The Observation Bureau deduces what happens in these areas by observing general energy fluctuations to prepare ordingly.


    "Sector 201376 shows no abnormal fluctuations."


    "Sector 309123 shows no abnormal fluctuations."


    "Sector 402371 shows no abnormal fluctuations."


    "Sector 812344 shows no abnormal fluctuations."


    In the Observation Bureau, staff were attentively receiving information from various star regions.


    Team leader Wang Xin was also monitoring the virtual screen before him.


    "Ten minutes left before off-duty."


    Wang Xin nced at the time, rxing slightly.


    Suddenly.


    At that moment.


    The virtual screen shed red warning text.


    "Detected A-level energy fluctuation in Sector 723142."


    "Detected A-level energy fluctuation in Sector 723142."


    The warning sound caused a sudden shift in the Observation Bureau''s atmosphere.


    Staff members became serious, intensifying their observations to locate the energy fluctuation''s source.


    An A-level energy fluctuation is no joke; it could lead to severe disasters.


    "Sector 723142 is the Milky Way Star Domain."


    Information about the star domain popped into Wang Xin''s mind.


    "A-level energy fluctuation?" Wang Xin tensed.


    An A-level energy fluctuation affects over ten light-years.


    If it''s a natural phenomenon, it involves the collision of over a hundred massive celestial bodies.


    If not natural, it indicates the arrival of dozens of ninth-rank alien invaders.


    "Report immediately."


    "Enter Level 1 alert."


    Wang Xin looked grave.


    Massive celestial collisions were manageable with proper post-event measures.


    But if dozens of ninth-rank alien invaders...


    Dozens of ninth-rank aliens could devastate dozens of star domains, even a star alliance.


    "Trouble."


    Just as Wang Xin was about to contact the higher-ups for support, a solemn, clear voice spoke.


    It was the Wisdom Goddess.


    "Wang Xin, no need for alert."


    "No need for alert?" Wang Xin was puzzled.


    An A-level energy fluctuation, and no alert?


    Even if not an invasion, hundreds of massive celestial collisions still require alert and rapid assessment of the impact.


    "The energy fluctuation is from a human evolver breaking through to the ninth rank, with no significant damage yet. No need for alert."


    The Wisdom Goddess exined.


    "What?"


    Wang Xin was stunned.


    Eighth-rank to ninth-rank breakthrough?


    As the team leader of the Central Star Domain Observation Substation, Wang Xin, though not very powerful, had a high perspective. An eighth-rank evolver breaking through to the ninth would, at most, cause fluctuations equivalent to a few stars.


    Now the Wisdom Goddess told him¡ª


    The energy fluctuation equivalent to hundreds of massive celestial collisions.


    Or the arrival of dozens of ninth-rank aliens.


    Was merely the result of a breakthrough to the ninth rank?


    Is this a breakthrough to the ninth rank?

 Chapter 294

    Chapter 294


    With the Wisdom Goddess''s reminder, the observation division gradually lifted the alert.


    The rxed staff couldn''t help but discuss in low voices.


    "The Wisdom Goddess said that the energy fluctuation in that star domain was caused by an evolver breaking through to the ninth rank?"


    "A breakthrough to the ninth rank causing such a bigmotion?"


    Many staff members were curious, as they had never seen an evolver break through to the ninth rank.


    But they vaguely sensed something was off. Even if an eighth-rank peak evolver fully fused their rules, their internal world would be at most a few million miles in diameter.


    Adding the body, soul, and mind-will to that, even if all aspects underwent ''qualitative change'' during the breakthrough, the energy fluctuation would reach at most ten times or a hundred times, equivalent to seven or eight stars.


    But the energy fluctuation they observed just now affected over ten light-years. Even if a hundred or a thousand eighth-rank evolvers broke through to the ninth rank simultaneously, it wouldn''t cause such a wide-ranging fluctuation, right?


    "An eighth-rank breakthrough to the ninth rank shouldn''t have such a big impact.""But since the Wisdom Goddess said so, there must be a reason."


    Though many staff members didn''t understand, they didn''t doubt the Wisdom Goddess.


    "Who do you think this eighth-rank evolver breaking through to the ninth rank is?"


    "It''s hard to guess. Our human civilization has many eighth-rank peak evolvers. Many of them travel through different regions of the universe seeking breakthroughs, so it could happen anywhere."


    "Regardless, our human civilization has gained another ninth-rank evolver. Judging by the magnitude of their breakthrough, it definitely isn''t an ordinary ninth rank. Eternal glory to humanity!"


    The staff members were excited. Although they weren''t the ones breaking through, being part of human civilization made them proud, as a stronger civilization meant a better life for them.


    Thepetition among the myriad races in the cosmic starry sky is cruel. If a race isn''t strong, its members often face dire fates.


    For example, rare special lifeforms are often captured for their blood essence to make bloodline potions.


    Is this because those special lifeforms are willing to sacrifice themselves?


    Of course not.


    It''s because they are too weak.


    Here, weak is rtive to human civilization as a whole.


    Special lifeforms are usually very powerful individually, starting on par with human geniuses.


    Compared to the discussions among the staff, team leader Wang Xin was much calmer.


    "The Milky Way Star Domain..."


    For some reason, Wang Xin immediately thought of the Milky Way Star Lord who had created countless miracles.


    Although the outside world believed that the Milky Way Star Lord would almost certainly step into the ninth rank, they thought it would take at least another hundred years.


    Theter stages of rule fusion are not easy to pass through. The Milky Way Star Lordprehended theplete space rules, so fusing the rules should be even more difficult.


    After all, controlling partial space rules for fusion is less challenging than fusingplete space rules.


    But Wang Xin had a strange intuition that the evolver who broke through to the ninth rank, as mentioned by the Wisdom Goddess, was the Milky Way Star Lord.


    Because the Milky Way Star Lord had created so many miracles, breaking through to the ninth rank within a century seemed normal.


    "Every human civilization''s ninth-rank evolver announces their breakthrough to deter the myriad races, showcasing their foundation. There''s no need to hide."


    "Whether it''s the Milky Way Star Lord or not, we''ll know from the announcement soon."


    Wang Xin thought silently, a hint of expectation on his face.


    Deste Starry Sky.


    Lin Yuan was still sensing his changes.


    The leap from the eighth rank to the ninth rank was a major transition. His internal world became more substantial and filled, generating multiple spatialyers, and his life''s essence was also elevated.


    "Now, I can vaguely sense the flow of time."


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes slightly. At the ninth rank, his essence was strong enough to perceive subtle time fluctuations.


    Time, one of the universe''s foundational rules, is more elusive and mysteriouspared to space rules.


    Lifeforms below the ninth rank can''t sense time rules, let aloneprehend them.


    With Unrivaled Insight, Lin Yuan could forcefullyprehend some time-rted evolution paths, but that would be tooborious.


    "If Iprehend time rules to a certain extent, controlling the time flow on my body, making a thousand years outside pass in a year or ten years inside, is that another form of extending lifespan?"


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    This exins why beings whoprehend time rules, though not Strongest Ones, can achieve a form of ''eternity''.


    Of course, this ''eternity'' is rtive. No matter how much they control the time flow, they will eventually exhaust their lifespan.


    "Training at the ninth rank mainly involves two aspects."


    "One is developing multiple spatialyers in the internal world, which is the foundation of a ninth-rank powerhouse''sbat strength. The various stages of ninth-rank cultivation are named after this."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts expanded.


    The ninth rank has five stages.


    Tenyer realm.


    Ten-thousandyer realm.


    Hundred-thousandyer realm.


    Millionyer realm.


    Ten-millionyer realm.


    Theseyers refer to the number of spatialyers in the internal world.


    Tenyer means ten spatialyers.


    Ten-thousandyer means ten thousand spatialyers.


    And so on, ten-millionyer means ten million spatialyers.


    The spatialyers represent the depth of the internal world''s foundation, and the internal world is the evolver''s essence.


    The stronger the internal world, the stronger the world power, enhancing the nurturing effect on the evolver''s body, soul, and mind-will.


    "My internal world''s spatialyers are about thirty-nine thousand, so I''m at the ninth-rank ten-thousandyer realm? And not weak within this realm?"


    Lin Yuan smiled.


    Newly advanced ninth-rank evolvers usually develop just a few spatialyers, not even reaching the tenyer realm.


    "No wonder it''s said that invincible eighth-rank evolvers, after breaking through to the ninth rank, progress quickly. Cosmic power greatly aids in developing spatialyers."


    Lin Yuanprehended dozens of ordinary cosmic powers, more than ten advanced cosmic powers, and one primordial-level cosmic power.


    Just entering the ninth rank, he developed nearly forty thousand spatialyers.


    This alone set him ahead of newly advanced ninth-rank evolvers by tens or hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation.


    "The key is that cosmic power''s effect on developing spatialyers isn''t one-time but continuous."


    Lin Yuan sensed this again, concluding that it would always be easier for him to develop spatialyerspared to other ninth-rank evolvers.


    "The second aspect of ninth-rank cultivation isprehending time rules."


    "But this isn''t very impactful, at least not before reaching the ten-millionyer realm."


    Lin Yuan thought.


    Ninth-rank evolvers, even if they can sense time rules, can only barely do so, making it difficult to even get started.


    "Almost done."


    "Time to go back."


    Lin Yuan finished sensing his changes and disappeared, returning to the Milky Way Main Star.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    Chaos reigned.


    Even the Central Star Region''s observation division detected the A-level energy fluctuation in the Milky Way Star Domain.


    As the core of the Milky Way Star Domain, the Milky Way Main Star naturally detected it too.


    Compared to the Central Star Region''s observation division, the evolvers on the Milky Way Main Star felt it more concretely, more detailedly.


    And more terrifyingly.


    In the face of such massive energy fluctuations, even powerful eighth-rank evolvers felt as fragile as dust.


    "What''s going on?"


    "How can there be such a powerful energy fluctuation?"


    The eighth-rank alien leaders, Red Skin and Green Eyes, frowned. With experience managing the Red Kun Main Star, they had been diligently managing the Milky Way Main Star for Lin Yuan.


    Discovering such an event in the Milky Way Star Domain, they immediately took it seriously.


    "Not sure."


    "However, the energy fluctuation erupted in the deste area of the star domain, with no immediate losses."


    Chun Bo and Jia Li shook their heads, feeling uneasy.


    They predicted many possibilities, including an alien invasion.


    If that were true, given the level of the energy fluctuation, it would involve at least ninth-rank aliens, no, at least dozens of ninth-rank aliens working together.


    Oh, my.


    Dozens of ninth-rank aliens?


    Many eighth-rank evolvers had never seen so many ninth-rank powerhouses in their lifetimes.


    "Have you reported this to the Star Lord?"


    Chun Bo steadied himself and asked immediately.


    Whether it was an alien invasion or not, this matter should first be reported to Lin Yuan. He was the pir of the Milky Way Main Star and the entire Milky Way Star Domain.


    "I did."


    "The Star Lord hasn''t replied."


    Red Skin hesitated.


    "No reply?"


    Jia Li was puzzled, then spoke sternly, "Contact him again."


    At that moment.


    A figure appeared in the hall.


    "No need to worry."


    Lin Yuan nced at the crowd, speaking warmly.


    Breaking through to the ninth rank had put him in a good mood, making his tone softer.


    "Star Lord."


    "Star Lord, you''re here."


    All the evolvers in the hall felt their anxious hearts calm down quickly.


    "Star Lord."


    Mo Li and Wu Lan were equally excited to see Lin Yuan.


    They had been on the Milky Way Main Star for some time but hadn''t met Lin Yuan yet.


    "Star Lord, you said no need to worry?" Chun Bo asked tentatively after a moment.


    The others immediately perked up their ears.


    The energy fluctuation was so massive and urred in the Milky Way Star Domain. How could they not worry?


    "The energy fluctuation was caused by my breakthrough to the ninth rank. It only affected the deste area and won''t impact lifes or resources."


    Lin Yuan said calmly.


    He had carefully chosen the breakthrough star region to minimize the impact of his breakthrough.


    "So it was the Star Lord''s doing..."


    Chun Bo nodded, then realized something was wrong, his voice trembling, "Star Lord, what did you say? Breakthrough to the ninth rank?"


    The others were equally stunned, looking at Lin Yuan in shock.


    A breakthrough to the ninth rank?


    "Yes."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    His breakthrough to the ninth rank would be publicly announced by human civilization soon, to deter the myriad races. There was no need to keep it a secret.


    Why not keep it hidden as a trump card?


    Human civilization indeed secretly nurtured evolvers, but these evolvers were unknown from the first rank.


    As the strongest talent of his generation in human civilization, Lin Yuan had no need to hide.


    Human civilization isn''t a weak race that needs to bide its time. As one of the strongest races in the cosmic starry sky, other races already feared them.


    The more monstrous human civilization''s talents were, the greater the deterrence to other races.


    "The Star Lord has reached the ninth rank?"


    Red Skin and Green Eyes were stunned.


    They had once been given to Lin Yuan by the Red Kun Star Lord as reliable subordinates.


    From the prosperous Red Kun Star Domain to the barren Milky Way Star Domain, from the invincible eighth-rank Red Kun Star Lord to the newly advanced eighth-rank Milky Way Star Lord.


    Red Skin and Green Eyes, though not daring to have other thoughts, felt a sense of disparity.


    But now?


    Lin Yuan had reached the ninth rank?


    Surpassing their former master, the Red Kun Star Lord?


    "Star Lord..."


    Mo Li was bewildered.


    When he was selected into the Thirteenth Mountain by the Thirteenth Peak Lord as a Crimson Mark tester.


    Mo Li had been overjoyed because his family''s analysis suggested that the Thirteenth Peak Lord of the Red Kun Lineage had great potential.


    Joining the Thirteenth Mountain was like holding onto a future powerful ally.


    But now?


    The future came too quickly!!


    And this ally was too powerful!!


    The ninth rank.


    How long had it been?


    Already reached the ninth rank?


    Mo Li swallowed, suddenly feeling anxious.


    Could he really hold onto this falling surprise from the sky?


    "Congrattions to the Star Lord for reaching the ninth rank."


    Wu Lan was the first to react, mainly because she didn''t fully understand the significance and impact of Lin Yuan reaching the ninth rank.


    Ignorance is bliss isn''t without reason.


    "Congrattions to the Star Lord for reaching the ninth rank."


    The others quickly regained theirposure and congratted in unison.


    "Rise."


    Lin Yuan waved his hand casually.


    "Star Lord," Jia Li cautiously said, "I heard that ninth-rank evolvers can merge with the grand universe. Is that true?"


    Even without personal experience, they''ve seen it in videos.


    Human civilization''s virtual world has many videos introducing ninth-rank evolvers.


    "Merging with the grand universe?"


    Lin Yuan smiled, "It''s just a method of integrating deeper into spatialyers."


    Ninth-rank evolvers'' internal worlds generate multiple spatialyers, allowing them to explore deeper into the main universe''s spatialyers.


    Using the spatialyers of the internal world to resonate with those of the main universe, they can integrate into it. This is what the outside world refers to as ninth-rank evolvers merging with the grand universe.


    In this state, unless the spatialyer they''re in is locked, any attack from the outside is useless.


    Physical attacks.


    Soul attacks.


    Even more mystical attacks.


    If they aren''t in the same spatialyer, they can''t be touched, let alone attacked.


    This merging with the grand universe is amon method used by ninth-rank evolvers.


    For evolvers below the eighth rank, battles are straightforwardparisons of attack strength.


    For ninth-rank and stronger evolvers, the battles are about finding the opponent''s spatialyer.

 Chapter 295

    Chapter 295


    The battle at the ninth rank level is akin to apetition in the realm of spatial significance.


    In this regard, ninth-rank evolvers who can develop and derive more spatialyers have a greater advantage.


    It''s not just the foundation and power brought by multiple spatialyers.


    They can also merge and upy more spatialyers.


    Just like now.


    Lin Yuan seemed to be standing in front of the blue-eyed and red-skinned ones.


    But his true body was unknown in which spatialyer.


    Ninth-rank powerhouses, strictly speaking, already belong to multi-space life forms.


    They won''t be limited to a single spatialyer like most life forms.Next.


    Lin Yuan gave a few more instructions.


    He ordered his subordinates to immediately appease the other evolvers on the Milky Way main star.


    Themotion caused when he broke through to the ninth rank, even without relying on observation equipment, would have induced an indescribable sense of palpitations in some of the main star''s evolvers.


    It was as if some animals within the faced disasters in other regions; even if they weren''t directly affected, they would still tremble with fear.


    In the Star Lord''s hall.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    In front of him, his Yin primordial spirit also sat there, looking calm.


    "Now we can try the ''Illusion to Reality'' heritage secret technique."


    Lin Yuan moved his thoughts slightly.


    ''Illusion to Reality'' transforms the essence of life, turning illusion into reality and reality into illusion.


    The Yin primordial spirit is a soul body, inherently illusory. Using ''Illusion to Reality,'' it can gain a flesh-and-blood body, thereby sharing many of Lin Yuan''s divine abilities and treasures.


    "Begin."


    Lin Yuan looked at the Yin primordial spirit in front of him.


    At this moment, the Yin primordial spirit had already begun activating ''Illusion to Reality,'' and its originally illusory body started to boil, with particles at the most microscopic level slowly transforming.


    "Everything is going smoothly."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    Even if the activation of ''Illusion to Reality'' by the primordial spirit body failed, it was just a primordial spirit that could be re-condensed in the blink of an eye.


    "It will probably take about half a month toplete the transformation."


    After careful observation, Lin Yuan concluded.


    The transformation of the essence of life requires a lot of time to adapt; it cannot be done in one fell swoop, especially when transitioning from illusion to reality.


    "Let the Yin primordial spirit transform first and see the effect. If it works, then let the Yang primordial spirit transform."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. So far, he didn''t know if the transformed Yin primordial spirit could function like his true body, but he spected that it probably wouldn''t be a problem.


    "Come in."


    Lin Yuan brought the Yin primordial spirit into his inner world, while his consciousness also descended.


    "The inner world now looks much more pleasing." Lin Yuan once again scrutinized the vast world before him. After developing and deriving multiple spatialyers, his inner world had be significantly more substantial.


    This truly seemed like a real world.


    Of course, currently, his inner worldcked time rules and could only rely on the time rules of the main universe, making it an iplete world.


    "Huh!"


    Lin Yuan nced around his inner world and suddenly stopped at the world tree.


    Now that he was a ninth-rank being, he could see through multiple spatialyers with a single nce, especially in his own developed world, where he was intimately familiar with over thirty thousand spatialyers.


    At this moment, the world tree, although its main body was in the primary space, its roots extended into numerous spatialyers, continuously absorbing the powers from differentyers.


    "I didn''t expect this world tree to have such capabilities?"


    Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised. Exploring and upying other spatialyers was a skill mastered by ninth-rank beings. Although some eighth-rank beings could also achieve this, it was extremely crude.


    The capabilities exhibited by the world tree far surpassed those of an eighth-rank evolver.


    "No wonder it''s one of the eleven-star universe wonders."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    Without the identity of a Devil Jade Tower member, Lin Yuan would never havee into contact with the world tree, even if he reached the ninth or tenth rank.


    In the main universe, world trees are exceedingly rare.


    The Devil Jade Tower is a force beyond the world, and in the distant past, it was incredibly prosperous, which is why a world tree seedling appeared on the reward list of the Nine Layer ck Tower.


    Time passed.


    In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed.


    The news of Lin Yuan''s breakthrough to the ninth rank was officially announced to the public under the name of human civilization, confirmed by the three goddesses and with Lin Yuan''s consent.


    As soon as the announcement was made, it quickly spread across the five major star domains of human civilization and to many neighboring alien races, with several peak races receiving the news immediately.


    Less than a hundred years old.


    To be precise, less than sixty years old, he stepped into the ninth rank.


    And he did so as the strongest eighth rank in history.


    Numerous halos.


    Numerous honors.


    All gathered on Lin Yuan.


    In the Insect Race territory.


    A massive Insect Race mother nest emitted a terrifying aura, sweeping in all directions.


    "Who was it?"


    "Who was responsible for the assassination of the Milky Way Star Lord?"


    "The Milky Way Star Lord was still less than the sixth rank at the time, so easy to assassinate, yet he was allowed to grow to today? Grow to the ninth rank? He will very likely grow to the tenth or even the eleventh rank in the future!!"


    The spiritual fluctuations emanating from the Insect Race mother nest were extremely furious.


    If they hadn''t discovered the Milky Way Star Lord before, it would have been fine.


    But the Milky Way Star Lord had clearly been noticed by the Insect Race and other allied races, even targeted for assassination with the most unsolvable curse-kill techniques.


    And yet, they gave up because they chose the wrong target?


    Chose the wrong target and couldn''t continue choosing?


    At worst, they should have cursed all the candidates with golden marks from that session of the Seven Star Cave trial one by one.


    How much would it have cost?


    "Your Excellency."


    "The general responsible for this matter, Panyong, has alreadymitted suicide out of guilt."


    Someone immediately reported.


    "Suicide out of guilt?"


    The Insect Race mother nest immediately fell silent.


    ...


    "My son reached the ninth rank?"


    Lin Shoucheng looked at the outside world in Cann Star, which had fallen into a frenzy, feeling a bit bewildered.


    In recent years, news about Lin Yuan hade one after another, each more outrageous than thest, and now he had even stepped into the ninth rank?


    Even though Lin Shoucheng did not fully understand the significance of the ninth rank, he knew it was the true pir of human civilization. Generally, ninth-rank beings would never appear before ordinary citizens.


    "It''s absolutely true, Mr. Lin. You have a great son."


    Governor Song Wuyang also had traces of shock on his face. He had previously talked with Lin Yuan face to face.


    The talented evolver he had once admired had now suddenly be a ninth-rank evolver?


    Because Lin Yuan became a ninth-rank evolver, the entire Cann Star fell into a frenzy again.


    It didn''t mean much; they simply celebrated the birth of a ninth-rank evolver on their.


    Human civilization''s territory is vast, and there are countless high-level lifes. Throughout history, many have never birthed a ninth-rank evolver.


    And Cann Star did it?


    Not only Cann Star was celebrating, but the entire Dawn Star System was also in jubtion, as Lin Yuan, the ninth-rank evolver, hailed from there.


    "Brother is so amazing."


    Lin Yi, upon hearing the news, showed a look of disbelief.


    Compared to her brother, she felt incredibly ordinary, but Lin Yi never thought of chasing after her brother.


    How could she chase?


    With what could she chase?


    "Our junior disciple has reached the ninth rank?"


    In a virtual world, the peak masters of the Red Kun Lineage were chatting together.


    Then they received this shocking news, leaving the originally rxed peak masters dumbfounded.


    "I never thought I, Zuo Ge, would one day be fortunate enough to be the senior brother of a ninth-rank evolver."


    The fourth peak master, Zuo Ge, sighed. He still remembered Lin Yuan''s appearance when he first became the thirteenth peak master.


    "He''s a monster, an absolute monster."


    "We are still at the sixth rank, but our former junior brother is already at the ninth rank."


    The fifth peak master couldn''t help but speak. He had no feelings of jealousy. If the difference was slight, one might feel jealous, but when the gap was as vast as an abyss, one only feels awe and admiration.


    And now, the gap between the ninth-rank Lin Yuan and them was more than an abyss.


    "I almost epted him as my disciple."


    The twelfth peak master sighed. He remembered considering taking Lin Yuan as a disciple because of his research on the Yang path, which aligned with his own path. However, seeing Lin Yuan''s ''ineffectiveness'' in the seventh star cave, he didn''t proceed.


    But in reality, Lin Yuan wasprehending the ultimate evolution path of the seventh star cave.


    He was truly blind, not understanding what Lin Yuan was doing.


    "My disciple reached the ninth rank?"


    The Red Kun Star Lord received the news as well, but he wasn''t surprised.


    Over the years, he had be ustomed to Lin Yuan''s series of astonishing performances.


    He wouldn''t be too shocked even if Lin Yuan reached the tenth rank now.


    His disciple was best at breaking existing perceptions and creating miracles.


    "I originally thought I could break through to the ninth rank before him."


    The Red Kun Star Lord sighed. He was also close to the ninth rank, with only the final step of rule fusion remaining.


    If lucky, he couldplete the final step in a few days and transform towards the ninth rank.


    If unlucky, it might take decades or even centuries.


    The Red Kun Star Lord once thought he might reach the ninth rank before Lin Yuan.


    After all, he was just one step away and could break through at any time.


    "No way."


    "This retreat must result in a breakthrough to the ninth rank."


    "Otherwise, I''ll be too embarrassed to face my disciple."


    Although there were cases where students surpassed their teachers in human civilization.


    The Red Kun Star Lord still had his pride. Originally, he felt fine meeting Lin Yuan, as both were in the same major realm.


    But now.


    Lin Yuan had clearly stepped into the ninth rank.


    It would be too shameful for him to remain at the eighth rank.


    "This retreat willst twenty years."


    "In twenty years, I must reach the ninth rank."


    "Then, I won''t be too embarrassed in front of my disciple."


    The Red Kun Star Lord nned his retreat meticulously.


    He then informed everyone that unless something catastrophic happened, he shouldn''t be disturbed for the next twenty years.


    "Ninth rank."


    "I, Red Kun, aming."


    The Red Kun Star Lord closed his eyes.


    In the Wan Yang Star Domain.


    Wan Yang Holy Son was lying leisurely, resting.


    Since he removed the thirteenth peak master from his list of targets, he felt incredibly rxed.


    That''s how it should be.


    Why should hepare himself with that freakish thirteenth peak master?


    Wasn''t it self-torment?


    Wan Yang Holy Son thought of the news of the thirteenth peak master''s massacre on the alien battlefield, and his scalp tingled.


    To this day, the news still made his scalp tingle. How could eighth-rank invincible beings be ughtered by a peer?


    "Huh?"


    "Central Star Domain issued an announcement?"


    Wan Yang Holy Son nced at the announcement, "Thirteenth peak master has reached the ninth rank?"


    He blinked, feeling it was only natural.


    "Good thing I didn''t continuepeting with this monster."


    "Otherwise, how desperate would I be now?"


    "Competing as a sixth rank with a ninth rank?"


    Wan Yang Holy Son felt fortunate.


    Sometimes, giving up appropriately is a wise choice.


    The news of Lin Yuan''s breakthrough to the ninth rank had a profound impact on human civilization and other races. Everyone knew Lin Yuan had truly grown.


    Next time Lin Yuan acted, it wouldn''t affect local battlefields like the medium-sized alien battlefield, but major battlefields involving all major races.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    Lin Yuan moved his thoughts.


    The Yin primordial spirit instantly emerged from his inner world.


    Sitting before Lin Yuan.


    "The transformation isplete?"


    Lin Yuan carefully examined the Yin primordial spirit.


    The Yin primordial spirit was also examining itself.


    "Indeed, it has a flesh-and-blood body."


    "No longer a soul body."


    Lin Yuan concluded.


    "The divine power imprint of blood rebirth."


    The Yin primordial spirit quickly condensed this divine power imprint within itself.


    This is also the key to absorbing the liquid from the mysterious gourd.


    Swish.


    Theplex divine power imprint quickly formed.


    In an instant, the divine power of blood rebirth was synchronized to the Yin primordial spirit.


    Currently, Lin Yuan''s divine power imprints were only suitable for his true body. Even if other evolvers obtained andprehended them, it would be useless.


    However, the Yin primordial spirit''s body was transformed ording to Lin Yuan''s true body, almost identical, allowing the divine power imprints to be shared.


    "Absorb it."


    Lin Yuan handed the mysterious gourd to the Yin primordial spirit, allowing it to start absorbing the first color liquid.


    At this moment.


    Lin Yuan suddenly received a message from human civilization''s officials.


    "Respected ninth-rank evolver and Milky Way Star Lord Lin Yuan, as you have just entered the ninth rank, you need toe to the Central Star Domain as soon as possible."


    "Go to the Central Star Domain?" Lin Yuan had been aware of this matter for a long time.


    Every newly entered ninth-rank evolver had to visit the Central Star Domain and soak in the universe treasure ''Eternal Spring'' once.


    The ''Eternal Spring'' is one of the twelve-star universe treasure/wonders, a rank higher than the world tree, belonging to the strongest one''s level of treasure.


    The spring water of the ''Eternal Spring'' greatly benefits newly entered ninth-rank evolvers, especially regarding their bodies. While the inner world is crucial for ninth-rank evolvers, the physical body is equally important.


    Particrly for ninth-rank evolvers who excel in physical evolution.


    The ''Eternal Spring'' is an unparalleled opportunity.


    "Alright, let''s go to the Central Star Domain."


    Lin Yuan''s true body rose, leaving the Milky Way Main Star. With just one step, he traversed thousands of light years.

 Chapter 296

    Chapter 296


    The Cosmic Starry Sky.


    Lin Yuan stood amidstyers uponyers of space, with each step leaving a gxy behind.


    "The main universe is truly vast," Lin Yuan marveled, feeling it carefully as he traveled.


    The "vastness" he spoke of wasn''t in a superficial sense, but in the endless spatialyers, a vastness in the depth of space.


    Even for a ninth-rank evolver who has reached millions of spatialyers, the spatialyers they develop within their inner world are just in the millions.


    But the main universe?


    A million spatialyers wouldn''t evenpare to a single hair of the main universe.


    "No wonder over the years, with countless battles among the various races'' powerhouses, the damage to the main universe has been minimal. With such terrifying foundations, who cares about the attacks of ants?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Humans and other races confined wars to fixed battlefields not because they could destroy the main universe, but to prevent the aftermath from affecting thoses and secret realms.The essence of war is resource contention; without resources, what''s the point of fighting?


    As for the permanent spatial rifts caused by attacks at the strongest one''s level? Measuring them in meters would be insignificant to the main universe, perhaps not evenparable to the gaps between cells.


    "Hmm?"


    While upying thousands of spatialyers simultaneously, Lin Yuan noticed some spatialyers containing fragments of weapons.


    "They''re worthless," Lin Yuan nced at them, uninterested.


    Over countless millennia, as strong individuals fought across countless spatialyers, the victorious, the mutually injured, or those perishing together left their items scattered in various spatialyers.


    This exined the origin of those weapon fragments.


    Most were waste, though there might be some valuable items, they were extremely rare.


    Many ninth-rank powerhouses traveled through multiple spatialyers with the idea of ''picking up scraps,'' hoping to find some treasure left in an unknown spatialyer.


    Besides these, the depths of the main universe''s multiple spatialyers also birthed cosmic secret realms.


    These cosmic secret realms would, during certain periods, establish brief connections with the outside world, such as the ''Mysterious Yellow'' secret realm that the Red Kun Star Lord had visited, whichy deep within the spatialyers.


    Whoosh.


    Lin Yuan took several consecutive steps, covering tens of thousands of light years in five or six breaths.


    "My spirit is a bit exhausted."


    Lin Yuan immediately noticed the change in his state. Afterprehending theplete spatial rules, he could perform the Great Teleportation technique.


    But using the Great Teleportation technique consumed his spirit.


    Lin Yuan estimated that at his current rate of spirit consumption, he might feel fatigued after taking several tens of thousands of steps.


    Normally, ninth and tenth-rank evolvers wouldn''t easily let themselves be fatigued, as it would affect their performance.


    Previously, Vice Tower Master Nn had used the Great Teleportation technique repeatedly, crossing star domains to deliver the ''Soul Calming Bell'' to Lin Yuan.


    That was because it was an order from the strongest one.


    And it also rted to Vice Tower Master Nn''s own strength.


    The stronger the power, the weaker the feeling of fatigue.


    "I should obediently take the spaceship, even though it''s slower."


    With a thought, Lin Yuan summoned the A-grade spaceship he had purchased.


    At this moment, Lin Yuan''s expression suddenly changed.


    "My spirit is recovering quickly?"


    Spirit consumption naturally recovers, but Lin Yuan could clearly feel that his recovery speed exceeded the natural rate.


    "Hmm?"


    "From the inner world... the world tree?"


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness descended into his inner world, discovering that the hundred-meter-high world tree was swaying, with a faint green energy merging into the inner world along with the tree''s aura.


    Then, the inner world operated its world power, nourishing Lin Yuan''s body, soul, mind, and will, with that faint green energy restoring his spirit.


    "It turns out the world tree has this function too?"


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face. Physical and soul consumption were easy to recover, merely at some cost.


    But spirit consumption... so far, known human treasures for recovering spirit consumption were extremely valuable.


    Even if Lin Yuan could afford them, he wouldn''t use them just for travel.


    "With this, I can continue using the Great Teleportation for travel. I''ll just reduce the step distance each time."


    If he continued traveling thousands of light years per step, even with the world tree''s help, his recovery speed would still fall short of the consumption rate.


    But Lin Yuan couldpletely reduce his traveling speed, say, from a thousand light years per step to eight hundred? Five hundred light years?


    Smaller steps naturally meant lower consumption.


    But even so, the traveling speed would still far exceed that of a spaceship. Wormhole travel required cooldown time; even the best spaceships only reduced the cooldown, still needing to wait after each transit.


    But the Great Teleportation technique required no cooldown time.


    "Nine hundred light years per step... no."


    "Eight hundred light years per step... still no."


    "Seven hundred light years per step... no, no."


    Lin Yuan began experimenting, trying to find a bnce between consumption and recovery.


    Eventually.


    Lin Yuan determined that traveling five hundred and thirty light years per step bnced his spirit consumption and recovery speed, including the world tree''s aid.


    In other words, maintaining five hundred and thirty light years per step, no matter how long, would cause no fatigue.


    Because as soon as a bit of spirit was consumed, it would be immediately restored.


    "Let''s do this."


    Lin Yuan continued stepping across star domains and rivers, heading toward the Central Star Domain.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    The Yin primordial spirit was rapidly absorbing the liquid from the mysterious gourd.


    Due to synchronizing the ''Blood Rebirth'' divine ability, the Yin primordial spirit''s attainment in this divine ability was at the same level as the true body.


    Thus, the absorption speed of the previous liquids was very fast, reaching the progress of the true body within half a month, absorbing up to the fifth green liquid.


    "My strength..."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face. The inner world of the primordial spirit had also reached a size of one to two hundred million miles in circumference, almost indistinguishable from the true body.


    Beforeprehending theplete spatial rules, the two primordial spirits, due to their iplete mastery of their paths, had smaller inner worldspared to the true body''s basic inner world.


    They needed to merge into the Taiji Primordial Spirit to match the true body''s basic inner world size.


    Here, the basic inner world refers to the one not enhanced by the mysterious gourd.


    But afterprehending theplete spatial rules, this distinction disappeared, with all inner worlds capable of expanding to the upper limit of ten million miles in circumference.


    "Now, my true body, Yin primordial spirit, and Yang primordial spirit have the same strength, with no distinction between true body and avatars."


    Lin Yuan muttered to himself.


    Now, all three bodies could be considered true bodies.


    Human civilization''s ''avatar'' techniques were called avatars because the condensed avatars generally had less power than the true body.


    And while the avatar''s death wouldn''t kill the true body, the true body''s death would mean the avatar''s end too.


    Lin Yuan''s true body and the two primordial spirits, regardless of which two perished, could be re-condensed by the remaining one.


    This alone was far superior to typical avatar techniques.


    At the edge of the Central Star Domain.


    Above a.


    Lin Yuan''s figure silently appeared.


    "Finally arrived."


    The human civilization''s territory was vast. Traveling from the Milky Way Star Domain to the Central Star Domain didn''t even count as crossing the entire human territory. Even so, Lin Yuan spent nearly a year.


    It must be noted that during this year, Lin Yuan hardly stopped, continuously traveling at five hundred and thirty light years per step.


    "In the Central Star Domain, the Great Teleportation technique can''t be used."


    Lin Yuan silently thought.


    To be precise, no spatial travel techniques were allowed.


    The Central Star Domain was the hearnd of human civilization. If spatial travel were permitted, it would cause chaos.


    Just as Lin Yuan arrived.


    A figure swiftly flew from the below.


    "Hahaha, Milky Way Star Lord, I''ve been waiting for you." This figure was also a ninth-rank evolver, specifically responsible for weing and guiding Lin Yuan.


    "In fact, not long ago, I saw you, Milky Way Star Lord." This ninth-rank evolver was a purple-haired man, smiling at Lin Yuan.


    "Saw me?" Lin Yuan was puzzled.


    "My name is ''Xi Lan.'' I was the overseer of battlefield B0001." Xi Lan briefly exined.


    Xi Lan looked at Lin Yuan, thinking:


    ''The Milky Way Star Lord arrived much faster than estimated. Has he been using the Great Teleportation technique?''


    Typically, new ninth-rank evolvers would be extremely excited, especially after mastering theplete spatial rules, they''d use the Great Teleportation technique for travel, despite the fatigue.


    It''s like getting a new toy; one would y with it constantly.


    As for the side effect of the Great Teleportation technique¡ªfatigue due to spirit consumption?


    It wasn''t a significant hazard; rest would restore it.


    "I see."


    Lin Yuan realized that ancient mid-sized alien battlefields like B0001 always had ninth-rank evolvers overseeing them.


    Not to intervene, but to prevent ninth-rank alien powerhouses from acting.


    Of course, they could intervene if necessary, such as if a peerless geniusparable to the Milky Way Star Lord from the Tianyu race appeared.


    ''Xi Lan'' might take action to kill them.


    Even if they could be revived, it would suppress their growth speed.


    The strongest ones typically revived their kin after amassingrge numbers, not individually.


    After all, whether reviving one or a hundred, it only required reversing time once.


    Of course, reviving one person versus a hundred involved different bacshes.


    To have the strongest one reverse time for a single life, they''d have to be exceptionally valued, otherwise it was unlikely.


    As for bullying the weak? Inter-racepetition had no such thing as bullying; otherwise, how would weaker, ordinary, and strong races stay obedient under peak races?


    "Come, follow me. We''ve prepared a special wee ceremony for you."


    Xi Lan smiled.


    The beneath them acted as a transit hub. To enter the Central Star Domain, one had to pass through suchs.


    The Central Star Domain allowed no spatial travel but had fixed spatial channels.


    This reduced travel time for visitors.


    The transit below housed a spatial channel leading deep into the Central Star Domain.


    Whoosh.


    Lin Yuan and Xi Lan appeared inside the transit.


    "Congrattions to the Milky Way Star Lord on reaching the ninth rank." On the''s surface, countless beings stood, both human and other races, with thetter making up half.


    "Congrattions to the Milky Way Star Lord on reaching the ninth rank."


    "Congrattions to the Milky Way Star Lord on reaching the ninth rank."


    "Congrattions to the Milky Way Star Lord on reaching the ninth rank."


    Deafening congrattory voices echoed, celebrating Lin Yuan.


    "So many other races?" Lin Yuan nced around, slightly surprised.


    "These other races are either subjugated by our human civilization or members of our human civilization alliance." Xi Lan exined.


    The cosmos had several peak race alliances, like the Tianyu Grand Alliance, the Insect Race Grand Alliance, etc., centered around peak races.


    Their purpose was to unite all forces topete with other races.


    Human civilization, as a peak race, naturally had its grand alliance, known as the Human Civilization Alliance.


    The Human Civilization Alliance, led by humans,prised one hundred eighty-two strong races and six thousand three hundred thirteen ordinary races.


    "Let''s go."


    "We''ll head to the spatial channel directly."


    "The Eternal Spring is on the home, requiring transfer through several spatial channels." Xi Lan didn''t pause, leading Lin Yuan to the spatial channel on the transit.


    Whoosh.


    In an instant.


    Lin Yuan and Xi Lan followed the spatial channel, leaving the.


    "Is it over?"


    On the transit, the congrattory crowd, including many other races, finally dared to speak softly.


    Months ago, they had been brought here, rehearsing for this moment to shout, "Congrattions to the Milky Way Star Lord on reaching the ninth rank."


    "Sister Luo Qin, the Milky Way Star Lord must be an extraordinary human, right?" A small statured alien cautiously asked a human woman beside him.


    As an alien, even fully dependent on humans, there were many restrictions. Without certain years, they couldn''t use the virtual worldwork, so news was scarce, and they hadn''t heard of the Milky Way Star Lord.


    But even if they hadn''t heard of him, they knew from the grand scale of this event on the that the Milky Way Star Lord was extraordinary.


    It should be noted that this transit handledrge numbers of humans and aliens entering the Central Star Domain daily.


    Yet, months ago, it closed to prepare exclusively for the Milky Way Star Lord.


    Though there were many such transits at the edge of the Central Star Domain, reserving one specifically wasn''t something ordinary ninth-rank evolvers could arrange.


    The small alien had seen other new ninth-rank human evolverse without such treatment.


    "Of course!"


    The human woman, called ''Sister Luo Qin,'' showed a proud expression.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord is the pride of our human civilization."

 Chapter 297

    Chapter 297


    Whoosh!


    In an instant.


    Lin Yuan and Xi Lan arrived at the second transit.


    "This spatial channel..."


    Lin Yuan looked back and said in surprise, "Establishing such a stable spatial channel must require a considerable cost."


    Creating spatial channels is easy.


    An ordinary eighth-rank peak can open one.


    When Lin Yuan broke through to the sixth rank, his senior brother appeared, intending to take him back to the Red Kun main star, and shattered a crystal cube to immediately open a spatial channel to the Red Kun main star.


    The real difficulty with spatial channels lies in their stability and maintenance.Especially thetter. The crystal cube created by the Red Kun Star Lord consumed considerable effort, yet the resulting spatial channel onlysted two minutes?


    The main universe itself has a restorative ability. Unless it''s a permanent spatial rift caused by the strongest ones, other spatial fluctuations will slowly restore to their original state.


    Therefore¡ª


    Maintaining a stable spatial channel for an extended period requires constant energy support.


    This is why spatial channels are only prevalent in the Central Star Domain. To maintain them across the entire human civilization''s territory would be too costly.


    Of course, in emergencies, such as a battlefield situation where alien races have invaded human territory, human civilization has the means to instantly establish stable spatial channels throughout its domain.


    "Yes, since no fees are charged, the cost of maintaining the spatial channels is borne by human civilization."


    Xi Lan said.


    Apart from the Central Star Domain, other star domains or star alliances might have private spatial channels. If one doesn''t want to travel, they can pay a high civilization coin fee to use these spatial channels.


    Whoosh!


    Whoosh!


    Whoosh!


    After passing through dozens of transits.


    Lin Yuan and Xi Lan finally arrived at the home.


    "Is this the home?"


    Lin Yuan carefully observed his surroundings.


    The home was very small, not evenparable to an ordinary medium life, but it held special status as the origin of human civilization and was now, in a certain sense, the political center.


    Many special treasures, such as the twelve-star universe wonder ''Eternal Spring,'' were ced on the home.


    Due to the small size of the home, strict checks were required for entry.


    On the home, anyone you randomly brush past could be a ninth or tenth-rank evolver.


    Of course, regardless of the rank, when on the home, all evolvers must refrain from releasing any aura. Even an eleventh-rank evolver must walk properly when required.


    "The location of the Eternal Spring is on the second continent, ''Green Mountain Summit.'' I don''t have the authority to go further; you''ll have to proceed alone, Milky Way Star Lord."


    Xi Lan escorted Lin Yuan for a while and then stopped.


    "Alright."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    On the way, Xi Lan had already provided a detailed map of the home and informed him of some taboos. As a ninth-rank evolver, understanding and absorbing this information was instantaneous.


    Now, Lin Yuan was as familiar with the home as with the Milky Way main star.


    Before parting.


    Xi Lan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Milky Way Star Lord, the ''Mysterious Yellow'' secret realm is about to open. Are you interested in exploring it?"


    "The Mysterious Yellow secret realm?"


    Lin Yuan had heard of the ''Mysterious Yellow'' secret realm before. His teacher, the Red Kun Star Lord, had mentioned it.


    Moreover, the ''Mysterious Yellow'' evolution path that Lin Yuan practiced was closely linked to the Mysterious Yellow secret realm.


    "When will it open approximately?"


    Lin Yuan asked.


    "In about half a year." Xi Lan replied.


    "At that time, many of our human evolvers will go in to explore, and so will other alien races."


    Xi Lan said.


    The ''Mysterious Yellow'' secret realm was not a cosmic secret realm controlled by humans.


    Other alien powerhouses could also enter.


    This meant... the greatest danger inside was not the secret realm itself but other alien races.


    Humans and those alien races had been fighting for countless years, with deep-seated enmity. Meeting in the secret realm, unless faced with a greater threat, would most likely lead to conflict.


    "Understood."


    "I''ll decide then."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    He was indeed interested in the ''Mysterious Yellow'' secret realm since the ''Mysterious Yellow'' evolution path he practiced originated from there.


    Though the ''Mysterious Yellow'' evolution path was only halfplete, stopping at the eighth rank, byprehending the first half, Lin Yuan determined its immense potential.


    It was almost as good as the immortal cultivation system from the Spirit Realm, which, ording to the main world''s terminology, was a supreme evolution path with ultimate potential.


    Soon.


    Lin Yuan followed the fixed path and reached ''Green Mountain'' on the home.


    "The top of Green Mountain."


    Lin Yuan climbed the mountain path.


    "This Green Mountain is also a treasure?"


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    At the top of Green Mountain.


    After passing numerous identity verifications, Lin Yuan finally arrived at the ''Eternal Spring.''


    This twelve-star universe wonder appeared as a white pool about ten meters in size.


    Milky white spring water continuously gushed from the center of the pool.


    Even just looking at it, Lin Yuan felt a pure, gentle force approaching.


    "The Eternal Spring contains an eternal aura. Any life that bathes in it can extend their lifespan by at least five hundred thousand years."


    Information about the ''Eternal Spring'' shed through Lin Yuan''s mind.


    Extending life by five hundred thousand years! Under the strongest ones, all evolvers have limited lifespans, even those who master time rules, altering surface time flow¡ªthousands of years outside would be like a day for them.


    But lifespan inevitably depletes.


    Five hundred thousand years¡ªwhile it might not mean much for an eleventh-rank evolver, it could make a significant difference for ninth and tenth-rank evolvers, potentially allowing them to advance further.


    Additionally, besides extending life, the Eternal Spring had numerous miraculous effects on the physical body, enhancing its foundation and potential.


    This was a unique foundation of human civilization. Human evolvers above the ninth rank had lifespans extended by five hundred thousand yearspared to other races.


    The difference might not show in the short term, but over a long timeline, the effect was significant.


    However, activating the Eternal Spring was costly. Human civilization had two ways for their own to bathe in it.


    One was reaching the ninth rank.


    The other was spending five million merit points.


    There were no exceptions.


    A long time ago, a supreme one (Strongest One) from another race sought to use the Eternal Spring to enhance the foundation of a valued junior.


    For this, the supreme one was willing to offer an eleven-star supreme universe wonder.


    An eleven-star supreme wonder! Equivalent to the world tree, each one invaluable, capable of being a race''s foundation for generations.


    But it was rejected by human civilization.


    Not because they didn''t value the eleven-star wonder, but because they wouldn''t ''assist the enemy.''


    The junior favored by that supreme one had immense potential, with the hope of bing a supreme one. With an additional five hundred thousand years of lifespan, the likelihood of taking that step increased.


    For an eleven-star supreme universe wonder, allowing another race to potentially gain a supreme one, human civilization wasn''t foolish.


    Even if that race hadn''t shed with human civilization, they wouldn''t allow it.


    Human civilization was wary of even the aliens who had submitted to them or joined their alliance, let alone others?


    Non-my-kind, their hearts are different.


    "Begin, begin."


    Lin Yuan removed his eighth-rank armor and stepped into the pool naked.


    As soon as he soaked in the milky white spring water, he felt a cool force merging into his body through his skin, quickly spreading throughout his limbs and bones.


    "This feeling?"


    Lin Yuan carefully observed his changes, noticing that every cell was frantically absorbing the spring water. In just a moment, his body''s potential began to increase.


    What is body potential?


    Whether an eighth-rank or ninth-rank evolver, the body has a limit and won''t endlessly strengthen. As it nears the limit, the rate of improvement slows and eventually stops.


    This is body potential.


    Increasing potential means the body''s strength can continue to grow, effectively breaking through the limits and further enhancing power.


    Lin Yuan''s body strength was already far beyond normal humans, enhanced by the mysterious gourd''s liquid, up to ten times the original.


    Such a high limit made improvement more difficult, yet soaking in the Eternal Spring, he began to slowly enhance again.


    "And lifespan."


    Lin Yuan squinted slightly, sensing his lifespan extending.


    Ten years.


    Hundred years.


    Thousand years.


    Ten thousand years.


    Every evolver''s lifespan extension from the Eternal Spring varied, depending on their absorption and adaptation, but the minimum was an additional five hundred thousand years.


    "No wonder it''s a twelve-star universe wonder."


    Lin Yuan smiled. This wonder, capable of extending every evolver''s foundation and lifespan, was why human civilization had thrived in just over two million years.


    The world tree had many uses; its fruits could help evolvers pre-open their inner worlds.


    But in value, it was far inferior to the Eternal Spring.


    The world tree benefited only one evolver, and its fruits merely aided sixth and seventh-rank evolvers in opening their inner worlds.


    But the Eternal Spring greatly aided ninth and tenth-rank evolvers.


    "I wonder, between the Eternal Spring and my gourd, which is more valuable?"


    Lin Yuan pondered while soaking in the Eternal Spring.


    Since obtaining the mysterious gourd, he hadn''t figured out its details, unable to find simr information even in the vast human civilization archives.


    "It''s far beyond."


    Lin Yuan''s expression turned serious.


    Here, the ''far beyond'' referred to the Eternal Spring being far inferior to the mysterious gourd.


    The Eternal Spring could enhance body potential and extend life by five hundred thousand years.


    But these were nothingpared to the gourd''s effects.


    The Eternal Spring could only enhance body potential, but the mysterious gourd could directly increase the body''s limit. Theoretically, after absorbing all seven liquids, the body''s enhancement could reach twenty-three times.


    And this enhancement was a fundamental increase, not just a fixed strength addition.


    While lifespan extension was valuable,pared to a twenty-threefold increase in inner world size, it was insignificant.


    The size of the inner world was crucial for eighth-rank powerhouses, increasing by just a hundred miles could boost strength significantly, let alone a twenty-threefold increase?


    As for ninth and tenth ranks.


    While they began expanding the depth of their inner worlds¡ªopening multiple spatialyers.


    The original size of the inner world remained a foundation.


    A hundred million miles inner world, even with just ten spatialyers, could crush a ninth-rank with thousands ofyers.


    "I must protect my gourd."


    Lin Yuan felt tense.


    If the Eternal Spring was a twelve-star universe wonder, what level was the gourd that surpassed it? Thirteen stars?


    Time passed.


    In a blink, half a year had gone by.


    The bathing time in the Eternal Spring for any new ninth-rank evolver was limited to half a year.


    Beyond that, the spring''s effect would rapidly diminish, making it meaningless.


    "Almost done."


    Lin Yuan stood up and stepped out of the white pool.


    "My body potential has increased by about eighty percent. As for lifespan? seven hundred thousand years?"


    Lin Yuan was in a good mood.


    Although lifespan didn''t matter much to him, given his Unrivaled Insight, he wouldn''t need to break through at thest moment.


    But no one wouldin about having more lifespan.


    After leaving the Eternal Spring, Lin Yuan was taken to a room.


    New ninth-rank evolvers could not only soak in the Eternal Spring but also stay one night near it on Green Mountain.


    In the room.


    Lin Yuan rarely didn''t practice orprehend.


    Instead, he sat quietly, feeling the mysterious aura flowing through the home.


    This mysterious aura was vast and profound. Even Lin Yuan, who could now treat stars as toys, felt like returning to his mother''s embrace.


    "I''ve heard that the human civilization''s race-protecting weapon is on the home. That''s why, over the years, neither the home nor the entire Central Star Domain has been invaded by aliens."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    With that race-protecting weapon, even if the supreme ones joined forces, they wouldn''t gain much within the Central Star Domain.


    They would only suffer defeat.


    This race-protecting weapon was the absolute foundation of human civilization.


    Every peak race''s stronghold had the means to restrict supreme ones.


    Otherwise, if supreme ones coulde and go at will, could it still be called a peak race?


    "It feels so good."


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes, casually feeling the bits and pieces of the home.


    Suddenly.


    At a certain moment.


    From the depths of the distant starry sky, a faint call crossed countless light-years, connecting with Lin Yuan in a mysterious way.


    Only Lin Yuan could sense this call, not even the home of human civilization detected it.


    The race-protecting weapon that monitored all changes on the home also didn''t sense it.


    Numerous powerful evolvers on the home, from ninth to eleventh ranks, noticed nothing unusual.


    Even the supreme ones'' constant perception over the home failed to detect it.


    Everything remained unchanged.


    Only Lin Yuan.


    Only Lin Yuan felt the faint yet unwavering call.


    "Who is it?"


    Lin Yuan quietly opened his eyes, looking toward the source of the call in the depths of the starry sky.


    "Who is calling me?"

 Chapter 298

    Chapter 298


    Lin Yuan was surprised. The calling sensation was faint, as if it could disconnect at any moment, but it also felt indestructible.


    Extremely contradictory.


    "That direction?"


    Lin Yuan looked toward the depths of the starry sky. He could feel that the call wasing from there.


    "Is it the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression was serious. The direction he was looking at included many star domains and star alliances.


    The Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm was just one of them.


    But Lin Yuan instinctively felt that it was the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm calling him.


    "Is it because I practiced the ''Mysterious Yellow'' evolution path?"Thoughts surged in Lin Yuan''s mind.


    Since the discovery of the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm, countless human evolvers and alien powerhouses had explored it.


    But no one had ever been called by the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm.


    Lin Yuan didn''t think he was particrly special. The only possibility was the ''Mysterious Yellow'' evolution path.


    This was his only connection to the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm.


    Although Lin Yuan hadn''t made the ''Mysterious Yellow'' evolution path his core evolution path, it was one of the many evolution paths he practiced, and his body had the ''Mysterious Yellow'' power running through it.


    "The evolution path my teacher obtained is more closely linked to the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm than I thought."


    Lin Yuan thought.


    Just because he practiced the ''Mysterious Yellow'' evolution path, a call from countless light-years away reached him?


    And this call could ignore all istion measures on the home, an astonishing feat.


    Of course, it might just be a faint calling sensation without any substantial power, but it was still incredible.


    "Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm?"


    Lin Yuan squinted his eyes.


    He had some interest in this cosmic secret realm, and now, feeling its call, Lin Yuan wanted to know the source of the call.


    Was it the secret realm itself? Or something within it?


    "It seems I need to enter the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm and take a look."


    Lin Yuan made up his mind.


    In fact, even sixth-rank evolvers with the ability to travel through space would explore various secret realms.


    There were many semi-public secret realms within human civilization''s territory. These secret realms existed in rtively shallow spatialyers, reinforced by powerful evolvers to maintain long-term ess channels to the main universe.


    Evolvers could enter these realms by paying a certain price.


    This was something almost all evolvers would do.


    Lin Yuan had reached the ninth rank without ever exploring a secret realm, making him an exception.


    But now, the faint calling from the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm made Lin Yuan want to explore it.


    Regardless of the oue, it wouldn''t cost Lin Yuan much. There was no real risk of death; at worst, his primordial spirit could perish within the realm.


    Given Lin Yuan''s foundation, recondensing a new primordial spirit wouldn''t be difficult.


    "Every time the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm opens, it remains essible for a hundred years. When the time is up, it closes, and any external beings still inside will instantly die."


    "As for the cause of death? It''s unknown. Even those who leave avatars inside while keeping their true bodies outside don''t know how their avatars die."


    "So, the first rule of entering the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm is to leave before it closes."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    If the time limit was exceeded, the avatar''s death was one thing, but others couldn''t easily recondense a primordial spirit like Lin Yuan.


    The key was that any gains within the realm would be left behind.


    That would be a double loss.


    Information about the ''Mysterious Yellow'' Secret Realm shed through Lin Yuan''s mind. This was the advantage of being backed by a peak race.


    If a strong individual from a weak or ordinary race entered the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm, their chances of gaining and returning safely were slim.


    They wouldn''t know the many secrets and taboos of the realm, and might die in some corner.


    Of course, human civilization''s detailed information about the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm was obtained through the sacrifices of countless predecessors.


    The next day.


    Lin Yuan left the Green Mountain summit, ending his journey to the Eternal Spring.


    "If it weren''t so costly to soak in the spring, I would have brought my two primordial spirits to soak too." Lin Yuan shook his head.


    Although the Eternal Spring''s effects were not as good as the mysterious gourd, the enhancement of body potential was rare.


    But the cost was too high, requiring five million merit points? That was the internal price for human civilization.


    "In the Human Civilization Alliance, merit points can achieve almost anything."


    Lin Yuan realized the importance of merit points again. Increasing citizenship levels was just the most cost-effective use.


    Many resources within human civilization couldn''t be obtained with civilization coins or universe coins. Even bartering was useless; only merit points were the currency.


    With enough merit points, one could even buy the twelve-star universe wonder, the Eternal Spring.


    But that required an astronomical amount of merit points.


    "Time to go."


    Lin Yuan entered the spatial channel to leave the home, arriving at the transit in an instant.


    "Come to think of it, I have a property in the Central Star Domain?"


    Lin Yuan seemed to remember something, ncing in a certain direction.


    Calling it a property wasn''t urate; it was more of a.


    A research.


    After bing an advanced schr, Lin Yuan automatically gained a research in the Central Star Domain.


    The value of a research far exceeded that of a high-level, especially in a ce as valuable as the Central Star Domain.


    Moreover, the research came equipped with various facilities,putational machines, and a team of professors and experts.


    Lin Yuan''s orders for this research were to tackle various difficult problems published by human civilization, using the''sputational power to slowly solve them.


    To earn corresponding merit points.


    If Lin Yuan personally oversaw the research and solved human civilization''s various problems, he would earn even more merit points.


    But it wasn''t necessary. Researching human civilization''s numerous problems? That would be a waste of Lin Yuan''s Unrivaled Insight.


    Ten monthster.


    Lin Yuan traversed a significant portion of human civilization''s territory, returning to the Milky Way Star Domain.


    "Finally back."


    Lin Yuan took steps of five to six hundred light-years, arriving at the Milky Way main star in no time.


    "This trip to the Central Star Domain took nearly two years." Lin Yuan appeared silently in the Star Lord''s hall, exchanging nces with the Yin primordial spirit, and sat cross-legged.


    This was despite Lin Yuan continuously using the Great Teleportation technique.


    If he had traveled by spaceship, it would have taken five or six years to return.


    "Spatialyers."


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes slightly, sensing the spatialyers within his inner world.


    Although most of the past two years were spent traveling, Lin Yuan hadn''t neglected his cultivation. In these two years, he had developed forty-three thousand spatialyers.


    When Lin Yuan first entered the ninth rank, he had only developed thirty-nine thousand spatialyers.


    In less than two years, he had developed an additional four thousand spatialyers. If other newly ascended ninth-rank evolvers knew this, they would be insanely jealous.


    "Using dozens of ordinary cosmic powers, over ten advanced cosmic powers, and one origin/primordial-level cosmic power to reach the ninth rank, developing spatialyers is almost like ying."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. He estimated that within ten years, he could reach the nine-rank, hundred-thousandyer stage, maybe even sooner.


    Other ordinary ninth-rank evolvers initially develop only a few spatialyers. Later, each additional spatialyer is hard-earned, taking tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years to reach ten thousandyers.


    "While my cultivation is easy, other martial evolvers will still need to develop spatialyers slowly when they reach the ninth rank."


    Lin Yuan suddenly thought.


    Even though he hadn''t reached the peak of the ninth rank, he needed to consider the martial path''s ninth-rank chapter for future generations. Most martial evolvers couldn''t replicate Lin Yuan''s path ofprehending dozens of cosmic powers.


    In fact, most eighth-rank martial evolvers couldn''t evenprehend a cosmic power.


    Without the boost from cosmic power, martial ninth-rank evolvers had no significant advantage in developing spatialyerspared to other ninth-rank evolvers.


    To reach the ninth rank, an evolver''s path must be incredibly refined. The martial path''s ninth rank isn''t vastly superior to other paths.


    Except in potential.


    The three goddesses rated the martial path''s eighth rank highly due to its potential and the higher number of eighth-rank evolvers mastering cosmic powerpared to other paths.


    "And the time rule, I''ve beenprehending it for the past two years, and I think I''m close to entry." Lin Yuan thought.


    Comprehending the time rule at the eighth rank and the ninth rank was vastly different.


    Now, Lin Yuan could sense the fluctuations of the time rule, deepening his understanding with each passing moment.


    "Entering the time rule will allow some control over time eleration, enhancingbat capabilities."


    Lin Yuan thought.


    Reversing time and moving against the current is an ability gained after fullyprehending the time rule.


    Time eleration and other methods can be used with a certain understanding of the time rule.


    "Over the years, I''ve umted sixty strands of boundary-breaking power."


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness dived into his mind, looking at the Gate of Myriad Realms, and sensed it briefly.


    The thirty-thousand-meter-long permanent spatial rift on battlefield B0001 had boosted his umtion rate of boundary-breaking power to one strand every one hundred fifty days.


    Over the years, Lin Yuan had broken through to the ninth rank, and including the time for adjustment, it had been twenty years, giving him thirty strands.


    Together, he barely had over sixty strands.


    "Sixty strands of boundary-breaking power can support one physical transmigration."


    Lin Yuan smiled.


    Physical transmigration is not just different from consciousness descent but is almost an unbeatable escape method.


    Even against the strongest ones, who can upy multiple spatialyers in the main universe, they can''t chase across dimensions.


    So far, the only method capable of transcending dimensions Lin Yuan had seen was through the Gate of Myriad Realms.


    "Go to battlefield B0001 and swap the Yin primordial spirit with the Yang primordial spirit."


    Lin Yuan looked at the Yin primordial spirit and instructed.


    Now, the Yin primordial spirit had caught up with the true body in terms of absorbing the liquid from the mysterious gourd, so it was time for the Yang primordial spirit.


    Battlefield B0001.


    The Yang primordial spirit of Lin Yuan disappeared silently.


    The Yin primordial spirit took its ce, looking at the thirty-thousand-meter-long permanent spatial rift not far away.


    "It''s incredible."


    "Is this the level of an attack from the strongest ones?"


    Lin Yuan marveled at the permanent spatial rift.


    Before the ninth rank, Lin Yuan could only see the surface of this permanent spatial rift.


    But now, as a ninth-rank being, he could see through multiple spatialyers and discovered that this permanent spatial rift not only tore through the main universe but also the spatialyers within.


    Countless spatialyers were affected.


    At least the forty-three thousand spatialyers Lin Yuan observed were like this.


    Lin Yuan imagined a long-ago moment when an evolver wielding a supreme weapon casuallyunched an attack.


    That attack was overwhelmingly powerful, without any technique, tearing through all spatialyers regardless of where one hid.


    This was the power of the strongest ones!


    Milky Way Main Star.


    The Yang primordial spirit returned smoothly.


    After breaking through to the ninth rank, Lin Yuan''s travel speed greatly improved. Although the two primordial spirits didn''t have the world tree to offset spirit consumption, they were still far superior to before.


    The distance from battlefield B0001 to the Milky Way Star Domain was much shorter than from the Milky Way Star Domain to the Central Star Domain.


    "Begin absorbing."


    Lin Yuan handed the mysterious gourd to the Yang primordial spirit.


    He himself closed his eyes and meditated.


    In half a month.


    The Yang primordial spirit had absorbed the liquid in the mysterious gourd up to the fifth type, the green liquid, catching up with Lin Yuan''s progress.


    Rumble.


    Within the Yang primordial spirit, the me world expanded, developingyer uponyer of spatial dimensions, reaching over a hundred million miles in size.


    "Not bad."


    Lin Yuan nced at the Yang primordial spirit.


    Although afterprehending theplete spatial rules, the size of the inner world was no longer limited by the rules mastered, each would still reach a diameter of ten million miles.


    However, the type of rule mastered still affected the ''nature'' of the inner world. The Yang primordial spirit''s inner world was a me world, while the Yin primordial spirit''s inner world was a cold world.


    As for Lin Yuan''s true body, its inner world was like a normal world.


    "I wonder if transforming the Yang primordial spirit back to an illusory state, returning to the primordial spirit form, would retain the inner world''s size?"


    Lin Yuan thought.


    "Never mind, I''ll try thatter."


    Lin Yuan refocused his thoughts.


    "Let''s check out the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm."


    The Yang primordial spirit''s body was condensed exactly like Lin Yuan''s true body, practicing numerous evolution paths, including the ''Mysterious Yellow'' evolution path.


    Now, the call from the ''Mysterious Yellow'' Secret Realm was felt not only by Lin Yuan''s true body but also by the two primordial spirits.


    Whoosh.


    The Yang primordial spirit stood up.


    It disappeared from where it stood.

 Chapter 299

    Chapter 299


    In the southern star region of human civilization''s territory.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared in a starry sky emitting spatial fluctuations, carefully observing the front.


    "Is this one of the three hundred thirty-three entrances to the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The reason human civilization had not taken over the ''Mysterious Yellow'' Secret Realm was that it had too many entrances.


    Over three hundred of them.


    And they were scattered across the universe.


    For instance, within human civilization''s territory, there were neen entrances to the ''Mysterious Yellow'' Secret Realm.


    "The main universe is vast and boundless. This ''vast and boundless'' refers not only to its size but also to theyers of space it contains."


    "Countlessyers of space can give birth to small worlds dependent on the main universe, which is the origin of cosmic secret realms.""Generally, if a cosmic secret realm is highly valuable, the strongest ones will actively act, delving deep into the spatialyers to ''pull'' that small world into the main space of the main universe."


    "Or they will establish stable channels to this secret realm."


    Lin Yuan thought silently.


    A secret realm might contain rare resources unseen in the main universe, and the more, the better.


    Evenrge cosmic secret realms can''t withstand the ''pull'' of the strongest ones; if one can''t do it, then two or three can.


    But the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm¡ª


    Even the strongest ones couldn''t locate the exact spatialyer of this secret realm, which was unbelievable.


    If the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm had not yet emerged, it might be possible, as even the strongest ones couldn''t traverse all the spatialyers of the main universe.


    But the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm had opened many times, with channels connecting to the outside, yet the strongest ones still couldn''t pinpoint the exact spatialyer, which was baffling.


    Not only could the strongest human beings not do it, but the strongest of the alien races couldn''t either.


    This was one reason human civilization believed the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm came from another cosmic epoch; this secret realm was not a normal cosmic secret realm, and some being had deliberately hidden its coordinates.


    Moreover, strong individuals who had explored the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm asionally found secret techniques and treasurespletely different from the current universe''s style.


    "The calling sensation is incredibly strong now." Lin Yuan stood in the starry sky, and as he approached the entrance to the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm, the calling sensation grew stronger.


    He could even hear some indistinct voices.


    "This time, I brought three ninth-rank secret treasures for protection."


    Lin Yuan thought silently.


    The three ninth-rank secret treasures were for attack, physical defense, and soul defense.


    Although battles at the ninth rank are like contests across multiple spatialyers, it doesn''t mean weapons and treasures are useless.


    With defensive treasures, even if the enemy finds your spatialyer, they can''t kill you.


    Of course, these three ninth-rank secret treasures came from the contributions of the strongest eighth-rank geniuses of the Tianyu race.


    "The main goal of entering the secret realm this time is to find the source of the call. As for the treasures within the secret realm? I''ll take them if it''s convenient; otherwise, I''ll abandon them."


    Lin Yuan set his basic strategy for the secret realm journey.


    That was to avoid conflict with other strong individuals as much as possible.


    Lin Yuan''s purpose was different from theirs.


    The reason he came now, instead of when the secret realm opened, was to avoid the ''peak period'' of alien powerhouses entering the secret realm.


    The Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm could only remain open for a hundred years after it opened.


    So the earlier one entered, the more likely they were to gain.


    Lin Yuan entered a few yearster, making it less likely to encounter the first wave of alien powerhouses.


    "Let''s go."


    After thinking for a while, Lin Yuan stepped into the starry sky emitting spatial fluctuations.


    Buzz.


    As Lin Yuan continued to walk into this starry sky, he felt the twisted spatial changes.


    "ording to the information, any strong individual entering the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm will randomly enter the outer region of the secret realm."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    This was why he didn''t team up with other evolvers from human civilization.


    No matter how they teamed up, they would be separated upon entering the secret realm, making it pointless.


    The spatial fluctuations grew more twisted.


    When the space stabilized a bit, Lin Yuan had already left the main spatialyer of the main universe and entered the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan immediately and cautiously observed his surroundings.


    His physical defense and soul defense treasures were fully operational.


    "I didn''t enter any dangerous area." Lin Yuan looked at the surrounding yellow continent, slightly relieved.


    Entering the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm, one would randomly appear in the outer region of the secret realm.


    The key here is ''random,'' which means you might appear in some dangerous ce.


    Although the outer region of the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm poses no threat to ninth-rank beings, those few forbidden areas are exceptions.


    Even a ninth-rank powerhouse could be severely injured if they identally entered those forbidden areas.


    "Looks like my luck is good."


    Lin Yuan smiled. The initial position was quite safe for now.


    "Spatialyers."


    Lin Yuan carefully sensed the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm as aplete world, which naturally had multiple spatialyers.


    "This secret realm has far more than forty thousand spatialyers." Lin Yuan''s inner world had developed forty-five thousand spatialyers, so he could roughly sense the number of external spatialyers.


    "Can''t use teleportation or instant movement."


    Lin Yuan tried it out, confirming a piece of information provided by human civilization.


    The Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm had an invisible spatial suppression. Ninth-rank beings could merge into multiple spatialyers but couldn''t use spatial rules to teleport or move instantly.


    In the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm, the only way to travel was by flying.


    "The call ising from the core region?" Lin Yuan''s expression changed slightly.


    The Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm was vast, divided into the outer region, inner region, and core region.


    The closer to the core region, the more opportunities and treasures there were, but thepetition was also fiercer.


    Besidespeting with other alien races, there were the indigenous beings of the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm. The indigenous beings in the core region were much stronger than those in the inner and outer regions.


    Some could even suppress ninth-rank millionyer powerhouses.


    "I need to be careful."


    Lin Yuan''s expression was serious.


    However, even in the core region, not all ces were dangerous. The treasurends and opportunity spots were dangerous, but if there were no such spots, it would be rtively safe.


    Lin Yuan had no interest in those treasurends. He just needed to enter the core region and find out the source of the call.


    "Let''s go."


    Lin Yuan immediately moved, turning into a stream of light and flying toward the source of the call.


    A few dayster.


    Lin Yuan merged into multiple spatialyers, flying rapidly.


    At this moment, a thousand-meter-long giant snake on the ''yellow'' continent below suddenly opened its eyes.


    "An outsider?"


    This thousand-meter-long giant snake was an indigenous being of the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm. Every time the secret realm opened, these indigenous beings would frantically attack the entering strong individuals.


    Even the weakest indigenous beings were born in the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm, with a keen sense of the many spatialyers within the secret realm.


    The techniques of ninth-rank powerhouses in the main universe to merge into spatialyers were hard to hide from these indigenous beings.


    Because this was their home ground.


    Boom!


    The thousand-meter-long giant snake opened its huge mouth, emitting a yellow light beam.


    The light beam instantly cut through the space, heading toward Lin Yuan''s spatialyer.


    The key to ninth-rank powerhouses'' battles was to lock onto the opponent''s spatialyer, as only then could they attack the true body.


    And this was the most difficult part.


    Every ninth-rank powerhouse would carefully hide their true body.


    They might even change their spatialyer at any time.


    But these tricks were useless against the indigenous beings of the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm.


    "Hmm?"


    Flying and traveling, Lin Yuan''s expression changed slightly.


    Swish.


    Lin Yuan raised his right hand, summoning a turquoise shield in front of him, blocking the iing light beam.


    "An indigenous being?"


    Lin Yuan was already aware of the abilities of the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm''s indigenous beings, and his expression turned serious.


    "That attack just now was roughly equivalent to an attack from a ninth-rank powerhouse who had developed several hundred spatialyers." Lin Yuan roughly estimated.


    "In that case, don''t me me."


    Lin Yuan looked at the thousand-meter-long giant snake below, a murderous intent shing in his eyes.


    Lin Yuan''s inner world currently had forty-three thousand spatialyers.


    But this didn''t mean Lin Yuan''s strength was only at the forty-three-thousandyer level.


    Other ninth-rank powerhouses, afterprehending theplete spatial rules, had their inner world size at the upper limit.


    Unless they were of a high-bloodline special life form, their inner world upper limit was not much different.


    So, the strength of a ninth-rank being was mainly measured by the number of spatialyers they developed.


    The more spatialyers developed, the stronger the strength, in direct proportion.


    But Lin Yuan was different. His inner world was over a 100M miles in size.


    The strength of forty-three thousand spatialyers, in Lin Yuan''s case, was at leastparable to those ninth-rank powerhouses who had developed hundreds of thousands of spatialyers.


    After all, his foundation was solid.


    So, facing this indigenous being with only ten spatialyers of ninth-rank strength, Lin Yuan nned to end the fight quickly.


    Being targeted by an indigenous being meant that even if you escaped, it would keep chasing you, making you too conspicuous.


    Swish.


    Lin Yuan took a step, actively emerging from the spatialyers. The power of the world operated, and the power of multiple spatialyers converged.


    Directly piercing through the thousand-meter-long giant snake.


    "An outsider!!"


    The thousand-meter-long giant snake let out an angry roar, then its eyes dimmed, and its massive body fell to the ground.


    "Dead?"


    Lin Yuan approached and began examining the corpse of this indigenous being.


    The indigenous beings of the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm couldn''t leave the secret realm alive.


    Even if forcibly taken out, they would turn to dust the moment they left the secret realm.


    So human civilization''s research on these indigenous beings was not very deep.


    "This should be the ''Mysterious Yellow'' crystal." Lin Yuan extracted a fist-sized yellow crystal from the heart of the thousand-meter-long giant snake.


    The Mysterious Yellow crystal was a specialty of the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm and the core of the indigenous beings in the secret realm.


    Such a fist-sized Mysterious Yellow crystal could easily be exchanged for a hundred thousand universe crystals in the main world.


    The special power contained within the Mysterious Yellow crystal had a significant effect on certain systems of evolvers and alien powerhouses.


    Indigenous beings of the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm turned to dust when leaving the secret realm.


    Only the Mysterious Yellow crystal could be preserved.


    This was the only thing Lin Yuan could take from the indigenous beings.


    "A hundred thousand universe crystals?"


    Lin Yuan was pleased. The worth of an ordinary ninth-rank powerhouse ranged from two million to three hundred million universe crystals.


    A hundred thousand universe crystals might not be much for a ninth-rank powerhouse, but getting it now was easy.


    "Keep moving."


    Lin Yuan had set a strategy for entering the secret realm.


    Absolutely no fighting for opportunities and treasures.


    But if the indigenous beings came to him, it didn''t vite his strategy.


    Time passed.


    In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.


    Lin Yuan had traveled through nearly half of the outer region.


    In these one or two months, Lin Yuan encountered five indigenous being attacks. These indigenous beings had varying strengths, someparable to ninth-rank millionyer powerhouses, and some only at the early ninth rank, not even tenyers.


    "In less than two months, I''ve obtained six Mysterious Yellow crystals, worth nearly a million universe crystals."


    Lin Yuan was amazed.


    A million universe crystals? Even for a ninth-rank powerhouse, earning that much wasn''t easy, equating to half the wealth of an ordinary ninth-rank tenyer powerhouse.


    This was with Lin Yuan actively avoiding opportunity spots.


    If he deliberately sought out opportunities, his gains might increase several times.


    "No wonder those alien powerhouses are so interested in this secret realm. Even my teacher, when he was an invincible eighth rank, riskeding here for gains."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    It was foreseeable that as long as one left the secret realm alive, they would certainly gain immense wealth.


    "Hmm?"


    "Another indigenous being has discovered me?"


    Lin Yuan nced at the yellow continent below, where a hundred-meter-tall giant bear stared at him with fury. Although separated by multiple spatialyers, Lin Yuan knew it was looking at him.


    "One of the weakest indigenous beings."


    "Equivalent to an early ninth rank."


    Lin Yuan roughly sensed its aura, gaining some experience from killing six indigenous beings.


    "Take the initiative."


    Lin Yuan immediately emerged from the spatialyers, activating a ninth-rank attack treasure, and sted the hundred-meter-tall giant bear.


    In a distant ce far from Lin Yuan''s position.


    A three-headed alien sensed something when Lin Yuan emerged from the spatialyers, looking in his direction.


    "That ninth-rank attack treasure belongs to the Tianyu race? Is this human evolver the famous Milky Way Star Lord?"


    The three-headed alien was also hidden in multiple spatialyers, observing Lin Yuan quickly kill the hundred-meter-tall giant bear, with a hint of surprise in its eyes.


    "I didn''t expect that dying for other matters and entering the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realmter would bring such a surprise?"


    The three-headed alien was intrigued.


    His race was part of the Insect Race Grand Alliance, a mortal enemy of humanity.


    Within the Insect Race Grand Alliance, there had long been a bounty on the Milky Way Star Lord. Even killing one of his avatars would bring rich rewards.


    "The giant bear that the Milky Way Star Lord killed had early ninth-rank strength. The Milky Way Star Lord, who has just entered the ninth rank, can achieve this, so his true strength is probablyparable to a ninth-rank powerhouse with several thousandyers."


    The three-headed alien analyzed, "I have developed twenty-six thousand spatialyers. If I attack the Milky Way Star Lord, I should have a ten-to-one chance."


    The three-headed alien was tempted. The Insect Race offered too much, and after analyzing, he felt that dealing with the Milky Way Star Lord should be easy.


    "Maybe I should give it a try?"

 Chapter 300

    Chapter 300


    The three-headed alien considered attacking the Milky Way Star Lord for three reasons.


    Firstly, the Milky Way Star Lord had only recently reached the ninth rank. No matter how powerful he was, how strong could he be? The alien was a ninth-rank ten-thousandyer powerhouse.


    Even if the Milky Way Star Lord was incredibly talented, he couldn''t kill the alien, who had every confidence of being able to retreat safely.


    The Insect Race Grand Alliance and the Human Alliance were mortal enemies anyway, so attacking the Milky Way Star Lord wouldn''t change their animosity. If the Milky Way Star Lord had the chance, he wouldn''t hesitate to kill the alien.


    Secondly, the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm was primarily entered by avatars of powerful beings. The Milky Way Star Lord likely did the same. If it was just an avatar, he wouldn''t have any heavy treasures or ultimate defenses.


    The alien wouldn''t risk attacking the true body of the Milky Way Star Lord, knowing human civilization would have many safeguards in ce. But in the secret realm, dealing with an avatar seemed manageable.


    Thirdly, the Insect Race''s rewards were highly tempting. They were willing to go to great lengths to slow the growth of the Milky Way Star Lord.


    Meanwhile, Lin Yuan easily killed the hundred-meter-tall giant bear, taking the ''Mysterious Yellow'' crystal.


    The giant bear was only at the entry-level of the ninth rank, and its core ''Mysterious Yellow'' crystal was only the size of a thumb, worth less than a few thousand universe crystals.But even small amounts added up, and Lin Yuan wasn''t picky about easy gains.


    "This venture into the ''Mysterious Yellow'' Secret Realm is profitable whether I solve the mystery of the ''calling sensation'' or not," Lin Yuan thought, pleased.


    This was all money, after all.


    Just as Lin Yuan was about to merge into the spatialyers and continue his journey.


    Buzz.


    A ck mist began to spread from all directions, permeating through the many spatialyers, forming a ck cage epassing over twenty thousand spatialyers around Lin Yuan.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression changed slightly.


    "Is this an alien?" Lin Yuan thought, also entering the spatialyers.


    The indigenous beings of the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm, though powerful, had straightforward attack methods. They wouldn''t create a sophisticated trap like this ck mist.


    "Milky Way Star Lord!"


    As the ck mist formed a cage, a three-headed alien emerged, smiling at Lin Yuan. "I didn''t expect to run into the renowned Milky Way Star Lord here."


    "You are?"


    "Olyphant!"


    Lin Yuan had been preparing to break free from the ck cage.


    The ck cage covered over twenty thousand spatialyers, making it hard for a ninth-rank powerhouse with fewer than twenty thousandyers to escape easily.


    But Lin Yuan had developed forty-three thousand spatialyers, far surpassing the twenty thousandyers of depth.


    So breaking free was easy.


    However, seeing that it was a three-headed alien, Lin Yuan had other thoughts.


    The three-headed alien, named ''Olyphant,'' was a ninth-rank powerhouse of some renown within the Insect Race Grand Alliance, having developed twenty-six thousand spatialyers.


    In terms of spatialyers alone, Lin Yuan could easily overpower Olyphant.


    Moreover, Lin Yuan''s true strength far exceeded the number of spatialyers; his inner world was over a 100M miles wide, giving him strengthparable to a powerhouse with hundreds of thousands of spatialyers.


    Facing Olyphant, a notorious killer of human evolvers inrge-scale alien battles, Lin Yuan felt his killing intent rise.


    The alien hade to him, was significantly weaker, and had no support from other ninth-rank Insect Race powerhouses nearby.


    "Die."


    The three-headed alien wasted no words, thinking he had the advantage and should kill the Milky Way Star Lord quickly to avoid unforeseenplications.


    Boom.


    The ck mist around began to shrink, and the three-headed alien''s figure dissipated, merging into the ck mist and forming part of the cage.


    This was the alien''s ultimate move, utilizing his race''s innate talent topletely merge with the space.


    This wasplete integration, not just hiding within the spatialyers.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, don''t me me."


    The three-headed alien smiled, as if seeing the Milky Way Star Lord being ground to dust by the ck mist.


    Killing a human genius, even an avatar, would bring great satisfaction to the three-headed alien.


    However.


    In the next moment.


    Lin Yuan raised his right hand and gently grasped forward.


    This grasp was not limited to the main space but epassed the many spatialyers, gathering all the ck mist into Lin Yuan''s palm.


    The three-headed alien, having merged with the ck mist, thought he was invincible but found himself caught in Lin Yuan''s grasp.


    "What is this¡ª?" The three-headed alien''s expression changed dramatically. As he tried to escape to deeper spatialyers, he realized that no matter where he fled, he still faced Lin Yuan''s grasp.


    "You''re not just newly ascended to the ninth rank?"


    The three-headed alien was filled with terror and unwillingness. He could only shout this before seeing Lin Yuan''s right hand clench tightly, turning all the ck mist and the three-headed alien himself to dust.


    The ninth-rank ten-thousandyer three-headed alien was dead.


    "With such strength, you wanted to kill me?" Lin Yuan sneered.


    If the three-headed alien had fled upon seeing Lin Yuan, he might have survived. After all, Lin Yuan didn''t want to cause too muchmotion in the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm.


    But since the alien attacked, Lin Yuan had no mercy.


    "Let''s check the space ring." Lin Yuan retrieved the space ring from the three-headed alien.


    When he crushed the alien, Lin Yuan was careful not to destroy the space ring.


    If the space ring was shattered, the treasures inside would scatter across the spatialyers.


    Even if Lin Yuan could find them, it would be a waste of time.


    "So poor, a ninth-rank ten-thousandyer powerhouse, with just two ninth-rank treasures?"


    "And a few ''Mysterious Yellow'' crystals worth a total of just over two hundred thousand universe crystals?"


    Lin Yuan nced at the contents and sighed.


    But he understood. The Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm was dangerous, and no one could guarantee their survival, so they wouldn''t carry many treasures.


    Like Lin Yuan, besides three ninth-rank treasures, he carried no other treasures. The most precious items, like the Origin Essence Gold, were kept with his true body for safety.


    The three-headed alien''s goal was likely the inner or even core regions of the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm, not targeting the indigenous beings of the outer region, so the ''Mysterious Yellow'' crystals were few.


    "Continue."


    Lin Yuan re-entered the deep spatialyers, following the increasingly clear ''calling sensation'' and quickly heading toward the core region of the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm.


    In a remote, deste star region.


    The true body of the three-headed alien emerged from a star.


    "That Milky Way Star Lord isn''t newly ascended to the ninth rank?" The three-headed alien was furious.


    "This is called newly ascended?"


    Although he had no idea what means the Milky Way Star Lord used to kill him, everything happened too quickly.


    But from the ease with which Lin Yuan sealed the many spatialyers he fled to, it was clear that Lin Yuan''s number of spatialyers far exceeded his own.


    The three-headed alien had been in the ninth rank for hundreds of thousands of years. What about the Milky Way Star Lord? Had he been a ninth rank for more than ten years?


    "How is the Milky Way Star Lord so monstrous?" The three-headed alien was trembling. Not only did the Milky Way Star Lord sweep through other invincible eighth ranks when he was an eighth rank, but now, as a ninth rank, his power had soared rapidly.


    "Milky Way Star Lord!"


    The three-headed alien was filled with unwillingness. If he had known the Milky Way Star Lord had such strength, he wouldn''t have approached even if it killed him.


    "Now I''ve lost big."


    The three-headed alien took a deep breath. Losing an avatar wasn''t a huge loss for him. As for the two ninth-rank treasures, Olyphant could ept that.


    With his strength, he could re-condense an avatar in at most a few decades. Raising the avatar''s strength close to the true body''s level would take another ten or twenty years.


    Together, it would take at most a hundred years.


    A hundred years in the long life of a ninth-rank powerhouse was like a nap.


    But now, it was during the opening of the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm.


    And the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm opened and closed in a span of a hundred years.


    In other words, losing this avatar meant missing out on this opening of the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm.


    Unless he was willing to send his true body into the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm.


    But the three-headed alien Olyphant didn''t have that kind of courage. An avatar dying was one thing; he could re-condense it.


    But if his true body died, that was the end. Olyphant''s race was only a powerful race without a supreme being.


    Waiting for a supreme being from the Insect Race to ''resurrect'' him was uncertain, and whether he would be resurrected was another matter.


    "The Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm."


    The three-headed alien Olyphant''s heart was bleeding. He had nned to profit greatly from this opening of the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm. With his strength, he would be safe as long as he avoided the core region and critical spots in the inner region.


    As long as he didn''t die, leaving the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm would bring him treasures worth hundreds of thousands to millions of universe crystals.


    But now, it was all gone.


    Time passed.


    Five yearster.


    "I''m almost at the inner region."


    Within the multiple spatialyers, Lin Yuan carefully made his way.


    The Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm was vast and boundless, with the outer region being the smallest. The inner region was muchrger.


    As for the core region? No one had yet mapped out its exact extent.


    "My teacher obtained the Mysterious Yellow evolution path in the inner region," Lin Yuan thought.


    Although invincible eighth-rank evolvers had the qualifications to enter the secret realm, they struggled to survive.


    Even the weakest indigenous beings were equivalent to early ninth-rank powerhouses, meaning invincible eighth ranks would be outmatched everywhere.


    Encountering slightly stronger indigenous beings meant they couldn''t even escape.


    This was just the threat from the secret realm itself. What about other alien powerhouses?


    In the main space of the main universe, ninth-rank powerhouses were restrained by the major peak races and couldn''t act freely.


    But in the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm? There were no such restrictions. If ninth-rank powerhouses encountered invincible eighth ranks, unless they were from the same faction, they would likely kill them on sight.


    Despite these dangers, many invincible eighth ranks still flocked to the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm.


    The worst oue was losing an avatar, but any gains would significantly boost their foundation.


    Lin Yuan nced at the location where his teacher, the Red Kun Star Lord, had obtained the Mysterious Yellow evolution path.


    If not for the ''calling sensation'' from the core region, Lin Yuan would have gone there to see if he could find any rted information.


    But now the ''calling sensation'' was so strong, Lin Yuan focused on it.


    Swish.


    Lin Yuan continued to move quickly.


    At this moment.


    In the distant yellow mountains, a powerful aura erupted.


    This aura was so vast it affected an area of billions of miles.


    "A treasure is emerging?"


    Lin Yuan immediately understood.


    The Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm hid many treasures, including extremely rare ones.


    These treasures would cause celestial phenomena when they emerged.


    Other strong beings sensing this would rush to the location.


    "Stay away."


    Lin Yuan knew his purpose and role.


    His upper limit strength was close to that of a ninth-rank powerhouse with a millionyers. But against a true millionyer powerhouse, he would likely lose.


    Not to mention ten-millionyer ninth-rank powerhouses.


    This opening of the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm had a few ninth-rank ten-millionyer powerhouses, but certainly not many. They all sought breakthroughs.


    The treasure causing this phenomenon was at least a ten-star cosmic wonder.


    It would definitely attract many ninth-rank powerhouses with hundreds of thousands and millions ofyers.


    Sure enough.


    Soon.


    Lin Yuan felt terrifying fluctuations from the direction of the yellow mountains.


    The energy waves prated tens of millions of spatialyers, vast and seemingly endless.


    "A nearly ten-millionyer ninth-rank powerhouse must be fighting."


    Lin Yuan thought.


    A ten-millionyer ninth-rank powerhouse could dominate millions of spatialyers, their power terrifying. If you were within thoseyers, you couldn''t escape their attacks and suppression.


    "But it has nothing to do with me."


    Lin Yuan continued toward the core region.


    The appearance of such a treasure in the inner region was good for Lin Yuan.


    It attracted many ninth-rank powerhouses with hundreds of thousands and millions ofyers.


    His journey would be smoother, and he would less likely encounter aliens he couldn''t handle.


    On the Milky Way Star.


    Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes.


    "Everything is going smoothly in the Mysterious Yellow Secret Realm."


    Lin Yuan thought, as his Yang Primordial Spirit merged into the multiple spatialyers, speeding toward the core region.


    But the inner region was vast, and crossing it without teleportation would take at least ten or twenty years.


    "Since reaching the ninth rank, I haven''t tried the third floor of the ck Tower."


    Lin Yuan had an idea, splitting a trace of consciousness and entering the Devil Jade space via the Devil Jade Mark.

    ...


    Inside the Devil Jade Space''s Nine-Layer ck Tower, passing through eachyer grants rewards left by the master of Devil Jade Tower.


    Lin Yuan''s World Tree, "Interpretation of the Void," "Illusion to Reality," Chaos Crystal, and so on were all obtained from the Nine-Layer ck Tower. These treasures have greatly aided him.


    Even after advancing to the ninth rank, Lin Yuan still frequentlyprehended these items.


    Especially "Interpretation of the Void," which exins the rules of space from a perspective different from human civilization.


    Every time Lin Yuanprehends it, he gains deeper insights into the essence of space rules.


    Devil Jade Space.


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness incarnation appeared."This space?"


    Lin Yuan carefully observed his surroundings. This was his first time descending here after advancing to the ninth rank.


    Compared to when he was at the eighth rank, Lin Yuan, now in the ninth rank domain, immediately noticed the subtle essence of the Devil Jade Space.


    "Completely independent of many spatialyers, how did the master of Devil Jade Tower achieve this?"


    Lin Yuan was somewhat amazed.


    Lin Yuan knew that Devil Jade Space was not in the main universe.


    After all, the master of Devil Jade Tower was not a being from the main universe, but the space opened here did not rely on any spatialyers, which was quite incredible.


    "Let''s see how far I can get on the thirdyer/floor."


    After observing for a while, Lin Yuan headed towards the Nine-Layer ck Tower.


    ording to Shen Ji, the thirdyer of the Nine-Layer ck Tower is specifically prepared for some extremely powerful and special ninth-rank beings, as well as tenth-rank beings.


    When Lin Yuan was at the eighth rank, let alone breaking through the thirdyer, he couldn''t even sustain himself in the thirdyer.


    Now, having advanced to the ninth rank, he didn''t expect to pass through the thirdyer but was curious about the test on the thirdyer of the ck tower.


    Lin Yuan knew the tests on the first and secondyers, which were about resistance to pressure from all directions.


    However, even though Lin Yuan''s mind and will, nurtured by the power of his internal world''sndmass, were not much weaker than that of ninth-rank beings, he still couldn''t sustain himself in the thirdyer.


    Lin Yuan vaguely sensed that the thirdyer''s test might be different from the first and secondyers.


    In front of the Nine-Layer ck Tower.


    The humanoid statue Shen Ji emerged.


    "You''ve been away for a long time." The humanoid statue was about to ask Lin Yuan why he hadn''te for so long.


    Then he noticed that Lin Yuan''s mind and will had undergone a qualitative changepared to before. His will incarnation naturally integrated into multiple spatialyers.


    What Shen Ji saw now was just a projection of Lin Yuan.


    "You''ve advanced to the ninth rank?"


    Shen Ji''s tone wasplex. Even though he knew that advancing to the ninth rank was not difficult for a monster like Lin Yuan, discovering that Lin Yuan had reached this level in such a short time still made him feel inexplicably emotional.


    Why didn''t such a monster appear during the time of the master of Devil Jade Tower?


    "Just lucky," Lin Yuan said with a smile.


    Again with the luck, Shen Ji felt a bit helpless. Looking at Lin Yuan, he asked, "Are you here to try breaking through the thirdyer?"


    If Lin Yuan were still at the eighth rank, Shen Ji would not suggest trying the thirdyer as it would be meaningless and wouldn''t even serve as training.


    But since he was now at the ninth rank, given Lin Yuan''s talent, it was natural to try the thirdyer.


    "Go ahead."


    Shen Ji stepped aside.


    Lin Yuan walked straight into the ck tower.


    The thirdyer.


    As soon as Lin Yuan appeared, invisible and terrifying pressure swept over him from all directions.


    However, it seemed to hit nothing, as all the pressure passed through Lin Yuan.


    Because Lin Yuan''s true self was not in the main space.


    "Uh?"


    Lin Yuan tried to take a step.


    The pressure from all directions increased, starting to prate dozens of spatialyers.


    Taking another step.


    It prated hundreds of spatialyers.


    After ten more steps.


    It prated nearly ten thousand spatialyers.


    At this moment, the invisible and intangible pressure swept through nearly ten thousand spatialyers.


    Even though Lin Yuan''s will incarnation was in over eighty thousand spatialyers, he still vaguely felt the pressure.


    Taking a hundred steps forward.


    The heavy pressure seemed to materialize, osciting back and forth within eighty thousand spatialyers.


    Seeing this, Lin Yuan decisively stopped moving forward.


    "The true test of the thirdyer of the ck tower is not about resisting pressure because this pressure cannot be resisted. Even a tenth-rank strong one, with just a trace of will, would copse if touched by the pressure from all directions."


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    The true test of the thirdyer of the ck tower was to upy spatialyers.


    The more spatialyers one upied, the better one could avoid being covered by the pressure.


    In Lin Yuan''s understanding, upying more spatialyers meant opening up more spatialyers within one''s own world.


    Only by opening up more spatialyers within one''s internal world could one correspondingly enhance mastery over the main world''s spatialyers.


    Currently, Lin Yuan''s internal world had opened up over eighty-seven thousand spatialyers, theoretically allowing him to upy eighty-seven thousand spatialyers of the main world.


    "I''m now at only one percent of the total length of the thirdyer."


    "The pressure here sweeps over more than eighty thousand spatialyers. To walk through the thirdyerpletely, wouldn''t I need to upy tens of millions, even nearly 100M spatialyers?"


    Lin Yuan was astonished.


    upying tens of millions or nearly 100M spatialyers means opening up tens of millions or nearly 100M spatialyers within one''s internal world.


    It is known that the highest realm of the ninth rank, thest stage, is only about opening up a million spatialyers.


    But now, to pass the thirdyer of the ck tower, one needs to open up tens of millions or nearly 100M spatialyers?


    "No wonder only the special beings among the ninth rank have a chance to pass thisyer," Lin Yuan thought.


    The millionyer realm is the final stage of the ninth rank, but that doesn''t mean the millionyer realm is the strongest.


    In theory, after opening up a million spatialyers, one can still open up more.


    But it is too difficult. Any ninth-rank strong one who has opened up a million spatialyers would have spent countless years and effort to reach this point, and now they have to continue?


    The reason why the millionyer realm is set as the final stage of the ninth rank is that once the spatialyers reach a million, one can try to advance to the tenth rank.


    "I am still far from the millionyer realm."


    After thinking for a while, Lin Yuan directly exited the Devil Jade Space.


    Outside the Nine-Layer ck Tower.


    The humanoid statue Shen Ji silently observed Lin Yuan''s movements.


    "Walked one percent of the journey, nearly upying ny thousand spatialyers," Shen Ji thought.


    "How long has it been since he advanced to the ninth rank? He has already upied nearly ny thousand spatialyers?"


    Shen Ji didn''t know what to say. He had never seen such a thing.


    He had heard of innate multi-spatial beings who mastered many spatialyers at birth, but someone like Lin Yuan, who grew strong step by step from weakness, upying ny thousand spatialyers at such an unbelievable speed...


    "No matter how monstrous, passing the thirdyer is not easy. This is a test set by the master."


    "Either advance to the tenth rank beforeing back or deeply cultivate the ninth rank, and thetter is much more difficult than the former."


    Shen Ji silently thought.


    Milky Way main star.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes.


    "It seems there''s no hope of passing the thirdyer in a short time."


    Lin Yuan sighed inwardly.


    Over the past five years of traversing the periphery of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, Lin Yuan''s number of opened spatialyers increased from forty-three thousand to eighty-seven thousand. (From now on "Mysterious Yellow" will be "Mysterious Emperor")


    This progress was terrifying, but the tens of millions or nearly 100M spatialyers were not something Lin Yuan could achieve in the short term.


    "In these five years, I could feel that the time rule could be mastered at any moment," Lin Yuan thought.


    Five years ago, Lin Yuan already felt that he was about to master the time rule, but until now, he still hadn''t. This shows the difficulty and obscurity of the time rule.


    Even with Lin Yuan''s Unrivaled Insight, it was so difficult. For other ninth-rank evolvers, it would be almost impossible to master the time rule even in tens of thousands or millions of years.


    In a sense, the time rule is a foundational rule for tenth-rank beings toprehend, and the ninth rank is just a formality.


    "Time."


    Lin Yuan raised his right hand. Faintly, the time flow on his right hand began to distort.


    This time, Lin Yuan truly felt that his time rule was about to be mastered.


    It could be a few days or a few months.


    "I have umted seventy-one strands of Boundary-Breaking Source Power," Lin Yuan felt the amount of Boundary-Breaking Source Power and was pleased.


    Boundary-Breaking Source Power was his greatest reliance, allowing him to descend into any world across dimensional boundaries.


    Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    After five years of journeying, Lin Yuan finally entered the inner area.


    "The atmosphere of the world has changed?"


    Lin Yuan carefully sensed his surroundings.


    If the outer area of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm was almost indistinguishable from the main universe, then the inner area carried an ancient and oppressive atmosphere.


    "The calling is also stronger."


    Lin Yuan slightly closed his eyes and began to listen.


    Now he could vaguely hear the content of the calling.


    "Mysterious Emperor... Mysterious Emperor, great Mysterious Emperor, you have finally returned..."


    The calling seemed toe from the distant ancient past, crossing time and space, reaching Lin Yuan''s ears.


    "Mysterious Emperor?" Lin Yuan slightly frowned.


    "Is Mysterious Emperor a name?" Lin Yuan guessed.


    Thenguage of the calling was not one Lin Yuan had ever encountered, yet magically, he could understand its meaning just by hearing it.


    "Let''s keep moving."


    After thinking for a while, Lin Yuan decided to continue. So far, the understanding of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, even by the peak human civilization and other top groups, was only superficial.


    The connection between the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm and other cosmic eras was just spection, not confirmed.


    The main reason was that the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm repelled tenth-rank and higher beings from entering, so the strongest couldn''t explore deeply and had limited knowledge.


    After entering the inner area, Lin Yuan deliberately slowed his pace.


    "Uh?"


    "Over there?"


    Lin Yuan seemed to sense something and looked in a certain direction.


    Over there, the aura was boiling. A native lifeform tens of thousands of metersrge was fighting with a slender-tailed alien.


    Their fight shook tens of thousands or millions of spatialyers.


    "That alien has at least opened up over a million spatialyers...," Lin Yuan observed from afar, "That native lifeform is also very strong, not much weaker than the alien."


    "Let''s move on."


    Lin Yuan only watched for a moment before moving away, heading in another direction.


    He recognized the alien as Moruo, a rare special lifeform from the Universe Alliance.


    The rtionship between the Human Civilization Alliance and the Universe Alliance was not good. After all, many bloodline evolution potions in human civilization were derived from special lifeforms.


    If the strongest beings among special lifeforms had not united to form the Universe Alliance and officially participated in the peak groups'' battles in the universe, the special lifeforms might have been nearly wiped out by human civilization.


    Special lifeforms were individually strong but had difficulty reproducing, though not impossible.


    Apart from extremely rare special lifeforms that couldn''t form groups, most special lifeforms had reproductive abilities.


    Lin Yuan wasn''t afraid of Moruo, who had opened a million spatialyers. Five years ago, Lin Yuan''sbat power was not much weaker than a ninth-rank being with a millionyers, let alone now.


    He just didn''t want any trouble.


    Whoosh!


    Lin Yuan took another path towards the core area of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    A few dayster.


    Lin Yuan slightly raised his eyebrows.


    "There''s a human evolver nearby?"


    Lin Yuan raised his right hand, and a ck disc appeared in his palm.


    Any lifeform entering the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm would be randomly ced in the outer area.


    This prevented forming alliances from the start.


    But after entering, human evolvers could use the ck disc provided by human civilization to sense other human evolvers within a certain range.


    In the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, strong beings from all over the starry sky could enter. Human evolvers had to unite and help each other to seize the greatest opportunities and treasures.


    "It''s Xi Lan?"


    Lin Yuan recognized the human evolver''s identity.


    Not long ago, Lin Yuan went to the Central Star Domain''s Eternal Spring, and it was Xi Lan who received him.


    Also, in Battlefield B0001, where Lin Yuan massacred the undefeated eighth-rank beings of the Tianyu n, the ninth-rank evolver overseeing the battlefield was Xi Lan.


    "Xi Lan... seems to be being chased..."


    Based on the ck disc''s sensing, Lin Yuan looked in a certain direction.


    Within numerous spatialyers.


    A purple-haired Xi Lan was fleeing frantically.


    "Human, hand over the treasure, and I will let your avatar leave," a huge figure was chasing behind. "Otherwise, your avatar will die, and the treasure will still be mine."


    Xi Lan didn''t respond and continued to flee.


    "I found the opportunity first, but you humans are so shameless?" The huge figure was furious. "Hand over the treasure now, and I promise to let you leave."


    The huge figure was burning with anger.


    As a ninth-rank strong one at the peak of a hundred thousandyers realm, having opened nine hundred thousand spatialyers, he was close to the millionyer realm.


    Originally, the huge figure discovered an opportunity site about to emerge and was guarding it. Unexpectedly, as soon as the site opened, Xi Lan rushed in, took the treasure, and ran.


    "Catch me if you can."


    Xi Lan transmitted back.


    He still didn''t know what the treasure was, but the phenomena when the opportunity site opened were extraordinary.


    So no matter what the huge figure said, Xi Lan wouldn''t agree.


    What a joke.


    Why would he return the treasure he had just obtained?


    "But it''s also a problem."


    "Chasing like this might cause changes."


    Xi Lan was slightly anxious.


    With his speed, it was unlikely for the huge figure to catch up.


    But their chase would definitely attract the attention of other strong beings nearby.


    If it were strong beings from hostile groups to human civilization, Xi Lan might really fall here.


    While Xi Lan was pondering a way to break the deadlock.


    The ck disc in his internal world suddenly transmitted a voice.


    "Xi Lan, need help?"


    "The Milky Way Star Lord is nearby?" Xi Lan was slightly stunned and immediately knew Lin Yuan''s identity through the ck disc.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, you should flee. The enemy is not someone you can handle."


    Xi Lan''s expression changed slightly and immediately responded through the ck disc.


    "An enemy I can''t handle?"


    Lin Yuan was silent for a while, looking around.


    "Where?"


    ...

 Chapter 302

    "Where is the enemy?"


    Xi Lan was a bit confused. The enormous figure behind him, with such a massive body disturbing multipleyers of space, couldn''t be seen?


    The chase between Xi Lan and the enormous figure, without restraining their aura, could still be felt even from a great distance and in differentyers of space.


    This was also why Xi Lan was worried about unexpected changes.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, the ''Maduo'' walker chasing me is immensely powerful, close to the ninth-rank millionyer realm. Even if we join forces, we cannotpete."


    Xi Lan quickly said.


    The fact that he had managed to escape from the ''Maduo'' walker was entirely due to his unique evolutionary path and mastering a secret escape method.


    But Lin Yuan did not have such means.


    Once targeted by the ''Maduo'' walker, the consequences would be unimaginable."Milky Way Star Lord, please do note near us."


    Xi Lan reminded once again.


    Although there had been news five years ago about Lin Yuan killing the three-headed alien ''Olyphant'', ''Olyphant'' was only a ninth-rank ten thousandyer realm strongman, having opened only a little over twenty thousandyers of space. He was not on the same level as the ''Maduo'' walker who had opened over ny thousandyers of space.


    "It doesn''t matter,e towards me."


    Lin Yuanmunicated through the ck disc.


    "Come over there?"


    Xi Lan immediately realized.


    Lin Yuan hadn''t missed seeing the ferocious ''Maduo'' walker, but had his own confidence.


    Although Xi Lan didn''t know what Lin Yuan had to counter the ''Maduo'' walker, who was close to the millionyer realm, he understood the Milky Way Star Lord''s personality from the time they spent together ¡ª absolutely not a reckless evolver.


    Since the Milky Way Star Lord had asked him toe over, he must have a way to deal with the ''Maduo'' walker.


    "Alright."


    Without hesitation, Xi Lan started to turn towards Lin Yuan.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, while the ''Maduo'' walker wasn''t paying attention, I took a treasure he had been guarding for a long time."


    As he approached Lin Yuan, Xi Lan exined the situation clearly.


    The ''Maduo'' walker was the offspring of a powerful ancient god in the depths of the cosmic starry sky.


    That ancient god did not participate in the cosmic race wars, and the ''Maduo'' walker had no significant hatred towards human civilization.


    The ''Maduo'' walker had been chasing Xi Lan for so long, purely out of anger.


    Moreover, the treasure was indeed extraordinary, even if it wasn''t at the level of a ten-star rare treasure, it was close.


    Swoosh.


    Lin Yuan and Xi Lan sessfully met.


    Following closely was the massive ''Maduo'' walker.


    "Milky Way Star Lord!" The ''Maduo'' walker quickly recognized Lin Yuan. There was no way not to; the Milky Way Star Lord was too dazzling and famous, even the strongest ones had heard of him.


    "''Maduo'' walker," Lin Yuan''s tone was calm, "There are countless opportunities in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm. With the time you spend chasing, you could have already found another opportunity."


    "Milky Way Star Lord, are you so biased towards your people?" The ''Maduo'' walker was annoyed, "But if you don''t hand over that treasure today, I won''t even give you, Milky Way Star Lord, any face."


    Under normal circumstances, the ''Maduo'' walker would be very willing to give face to the Milky Way Star Lord.


    With the potential of the Milky Way Star Lord, reaching the ninth-rank ten millionyer realm in the future was almost certain. Offending such a terrifying future strongman, the ''Maduo'' walker wasn''t stupid.


    The Insect Race and the Tianyu Race had no room for reconciliation with human civilization, but the ''Maduo'' walker had no significant direct enmity with humans or the Milky Way Star Lord.


    In the cosmic starry sky, having more friends meant more paths.


    But now, the ''Maduo'' walker couldn''t swallow this anger.


    "If that''s the case, then let''s fight." Lin Yuan said directly.


    Boom.


    In an instant, the two entered deeperyers of space and started fighting.


    Not far away.


    Xi Lan cautiously sensed the terrifying fluctuationsing from the deeperyers of space.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord is fighting with the ''Maduo'' walker?" Xi Lan murmured, "And the fighting fluctuations, he''s not immediately defeated?"


    Xi Lan didn''t dare to approach the spaceyer where Lin Yuan and the ''Maduo'' walker were fighting, but from the fluctuations caused by their battle, he could roughly judge the situation.


    Xi Lan''s eyes were somewhat dazed. The growth speed of the Milky Way Star Lord was too fast. He still remembered not long ago when he took the Milky Way Star Lord to his home.


    At that time, the Milky Way Star Lord had just entered the ninth rank, looking clueless.


    And now, he was already able to contend with the ''Maduo'' walker?


    "Too terrifying."


    "As expected of the most brilliant genius in human civilization history."


    Xi Lan swallowed. Back on the alien battlefield, he was thinking about how to protect Lin Yuan from being attacked by the ninth-rank strongman of the Tianyu Race.


    Now, it was Lin Yuan''s turn to protect him.


    The roles had reversed in such a short time.


    In the deeperyers of space.


    Lin Yuan and the ''Maduo'' walker faced each other across dozens ofyers of space.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, I didn''t expect your strength to be so strong? Almost able to seriously injure me?" The ''Maduo'' walker stared at Lin Yuan, feeling a bit trembled inside.


    Just now, when they collided deeply within theyers of space, the ''Maduo'' walker felt an incredible force prating him.


    If not for his ancient god''s innate talent and timely withdrawal, he might have been seriously injured.


    Innate talent?


    Secret method?


    Treasure?


    Or something else?


    The ''Maduo'' walker was uncertain.


    Originally, he thought he could suppress the Milky Way Star Lord. Even if the other party could surpass him in the future, for now, he still believed he was stronger than the Milky Way Star Lord.


    But after the sh, the ''Maduo'' walker quickly concluded that he couldn''t do anything to the Milky Way Star Lord.


    Not only couldn''t he do anything, but if he continued, he might get caught off guard by the Milky Way Star Lord.


    "What a pity."


    Lin Yuan''s expression was calm, but he felt a bit regretful inside.


    In terms of spaceyer opening, Lin Yuan wasn''t as proficient as the ''Maduo'' walker.


    But Lin Yuan''s internal world was vast, over a 100M miles in diameter. The explosive power surpassed the might of a millionyer realm.


    However, the ''Maduo'' walker was cautious. Despite his anger, he hadn''tpletely lost his reason and didn''t underestimate Lin Yuan.


    Otherwise, with their previous encounter, Lin Yuan was confident he could have inflicted significant damage.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, let''s end this here." The ''Maduo'' walker immediately backed down. He realized with the strength Lin Yuan disyed, there was no hope of retrieving that treasure.


    "I''ll give you a heads up, the Tianyu Race''s ''Huny'' is searching everywhere for you, intending to kill this avatar of yours to avenge the battlefield defeat."


    "''Huny'' is the strongest ninth-rank being of the Tianyu Race, having opened over thirty millionyers of space. Your strength is great, but against ''Huny'', even escaping would be impossible."


    The ''Maduo'' walker said, actively providing a piece of secret information to ease the tension with the Milky Way Star Lord.


    Since he confirmed he couldn''t get the treasure, he didn''t want topletely offend the Milky Way Star Lord.


    After saying this, the ''Maduo'' walker blended into deeperyers of space and flew in another direction.


    Lin Yuan stood still, not chasing after him.


    He mainly couldn''t catch up.


    The moreyers of space one had opened, the moreyers one could upy in an instant, appearing across multipleyers in a single thought.


    In directbat, Lin Yuan could overpower a millionyer strongman, but in other aspects, he was inferior.


    Typically, using some special secret methods and treasures, a loweryer being might escape from a higheryer being.


    Like Xi Lan had just escaped from the ''Maduo'' walker.


    But a loweryer being wanting to chase a higheryer being... it just wasn''t possible.


    Ninth-rank beings'' chases in spaceyers weren''t directly rted to speed.


    "Tianyu Race''s ''Huny''?" Lin Yuan pondered the ''Maduo'' walker''s reminder, looking slightly serious.


    Normally, a ninth-rank being only needed to open ten millionyers to reach the threshold for the tenth rank. But ''Huny'' had opened up to thirty millionyers.


    His strength definitely surpassed typical ninth-rank beings, likely the strongest among the ninth-rank beings entering the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm this time.


    "But the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm is so vast, finding me won''t be easy."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. He wasn''t ''Huny''s'' match, but this Tianyu Race''s strongest ninth-rank also couldn''t directly locate him.


    In the deeperyers of space.


    The ''Maduo'' walker, who had gone far, still felt some fear.


    "I got carried away."


    "Had I known the Milky Way Star Lord was this strong, I should have given up on the treasure immediately." The ''Maduo'' walker reflected.


    His ancient god progenitor wasn''t the strongest among ancient gods, but livedfortably, maintaining good rtionships with all major races.


    That''s how he avoided offending anyone.


    But now, he had offended the Milky Way Star Lord.


    "At least, I provided some valuable information, hopefully mending things somewhat." The ''Maduo'' walker sighed with relief.


    Not many strong beings knew about ''Huny'' searching for the Milky Way Star Lord. The ''Maduo'' walker knew because of his ancient god progenitor''s connections.


    ''Huny'' promised rewards for information on the Milky Way Star Lord''s whereabouts.


    But now, the ''Maduo'' walker didn''t care about the reward, only about mending his impression with the Milky Way Star Lord.


    After the ''Maduo'' walker retreated.


    Lin Yuan returned to Xi Lan.


    "Alright, it''s safe now," Lin Yuan said with a smile.


    "The ''Maduo'' walker retreated?" Xi Lan couldn''t help but ask.


    "Yes." Lin Yuan nodded.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, your strength..." Even with his expectations, Xi Lan was still shocked.


    The ''Maduo'' walker was impulsive, unlike his diplomatic ancient god progenitor.


    For him to retreat, the Milky Way Star Lord''s strength must have been superior.


    The ''Maduo'' walker had opened over 900 thousandyers, close to the ninth-rank millionyer realm. Lin Yuan was stronger, meaning...


    Xi Lan felt his understanding of reality shatter.


    He had been at the ninth rank for nearly a million years, having opened only over sixty thousandyers, far weaker than the ''Maduo'' walker.


    But now, Lin Yuan, who had only recently entered the ninth rank, was already stronger than the ''Maduo'' walker?


    "Let''s not dwell on this."


    "We should move to another ce."


    Lin Yuan led Xi Lan into deeperyers of space.


    A few dayster.


    They finally stopped.


    "The ''Maduo'' walker said ''Huny'' from the Tianyu Race is searching for me," Lin Yuan said directly.


    "''Huny''?" Xi Lan''s face changed slightly.


    He was extremely wary and even fearful of the Tianyu Race''s strongest ninth-rank.


    On therge alien battlefield, ''Huny'' had suppressed dozens of millionyer ninth-rank beings with his thirty millionyers.


    Such a strongman was now looking for Lin Yuan?


    Xi Lan''s face turned ugly.


    How shameless.


    Though Lin Yuan had embarrassed the Tianyu Race on the battlefield, this was too much.


    "We must be very careful," Xi Lan said seriously after calming down.


    "Of course," Lin Yuan replied.


    Even without ''Huny'', he would be cautious in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    "By the way."


    "Tell me about that opportunity ce. What made the ''Maduo'' walker so furious?" Lin Yuan asked, curious.


    The ''Maduo'' walker always tried to emte his diplomatic ancient god progenitor, avoiding offending any faction.


    For him to chase Xi Lan so relentlessly, he must have been truly angered.


    "Hahaha."


    Xi Lanughed.


    "That opportunity ce was left by a follower of ''His Majesty''," Xi Lan exined.


    He had no secrets from Lin Yuan.


    Without Lin Yuan, he would still be chased by the ''Maduo'' walker, possibly with his avatar already dead.


    "''His Majesty''?"


    Lin Yuan nodded, listening.


    In the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, many opportunity ces mentioned ''His Majesty''.


    Most treasures'' owners were followers of the great ''His Majesty''.


    "This follower had a mysterious origin, identally entering a dimensional gap, falling into our dimension, and being saved by ''His Majesty''."


    Xi Lan spoke with some awe. The concept of dimensional gaps wasn''t a secret.


    Dimensional gaps transcended spatial rules. Even twelfth-rank beings, strongest ones, and ultimate path existences couldn''t break through dimensions.


    But asionally, gaps between dimensions might form, allowing entry to another dimension if one survived.


    However, this probability was extremely low, untraceable even by the strongest ones. And the gaps closed within a few breaths.


    "The item I got is the most precious treasure of that opportunity ce''s owner."


    Xi Lan stretched out his right hand, revealing a ck sphere.


    The ck sphere floated, rotating slowly, emitting a mysterious aura.


    "But after studying it for a long time, I couldn''t find anything special about it," Xi Lan said, puzzled.


    "Hah?"


    Lin Yuan, initially just curious, became serious when the ck sphere appeared.


    Because simultaneously, the majestic ''Gate of Myriad Realms'' deep in his mind began to tremble slightly.

 Chapter 303

    Chapter 303


    "Gate of Myriad Realms."


    Lin Yuan''s mind focused.


    The Gate of Myriad Realms was Lin Yuan''s greatest trump card, without exception, even more so than the mysterious gourd.


    The change in the Gate of Myriad Realms captured Lin Yuan''s full attention.


    "This ck sphere, causing the Gate of Myriad Realms to react on its own, does it contain a world coordinate?"


    Lin Yuan spected. In the past, it was only when approaching coordinates of other worlds that the Gate of Myriad Realms would react.


    Of course, other possibilities couldn''t be ruled out either.


    Lin Yuan knew too little about the true nature of the Gate of Myriad Realms.


    Mainly because his strength was too weak to make the Gate of Myriad Realms recognize him as its master.Faced with changes in the Gate of Myriad Realms, all he could rely on were guesses.


    "Can I take a look?" Lin Yuan asked Xi Lan.


    "Of course," Xi Lan said, directly tossing the ck sphere to Lin Yuan.


    Buzz.


    The moment Lin Yuan''s right hand touched the ck sphere, a stream of information flowed through his skin into his body, finally merging into the Gate of Myriad Realms.


    At the bottom of the Gate of Myriad Realms, behind the nine world coordinate imprints, a new world coordinate began to appear.


    "It really is a world coordinate."


    Lin Yuan''s spirit lifted.


    "And it''s from another dimension?"


    Lin Yuan was even more delighted.


    With the Gate of Myriad Realms, world coordinates were like unguarded treasure troves to Lin Yuan.


    "The most precious treasure is a world coordinate? Perhaps it''s the home world of the opportunity ce''s owner?"


    Lin Yuan spected.


    ording to Xi Lan, the owner of the opportunity ce was a being from another dimension who identally fell into this one andter became a follower of the great ''His Majesty''.


    In a strange dimension, the opportunity ce''s owner must have deeply missed his home world. But different dimensions were like insurmountable chasms, even the strongest couldn''t cross them.


    Even with the world coordinate, it was meaningless.


    The opportunity ce''s owner was a follower of the great ''His Majesty'' of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, who was at least a strongest one ording to current information.


    Lin Yuan didn''t believe the opportunity ce''s owner hadn''t asked the great ''His Majesty'' for help.


    With the world coordinate, the strongest one could lock onto any world in the same dimension, but not across dimensions.


    "Did you find anything?" Xi Lan asked expectantly.


    By now, Xi Lan almost blindly admired Lin Yuan. He had studied the ck sphere for a long time without understanding it, hoping Lin Yuan could see through it with a nce.


    "No." Lin Yuan shook his head.


    In reality, he already knew what the ck sphere was and had copied the most precious world coordinate into the Gate of Myriad Realms.


    But he couldn''t say this openly.


    He would never reveal any information about the Gate of Myriad Realms.


    "Is that so." Xi Lan sighed. He had taken what he thought was the most precious treasure from the opportunity ce while being chased by the ''Maduo'' walker.


    Originally, he thought it was a great opportunity, but now it seemed useless.


    This made Xi Lan a bit depressed. He had risked his avatar being destroyed and was chased by the ''Maduo'' walker for so long, only to find it was all for nothing?


    "Once we return, I''ll hand it over to the three goddesses. Maybe they can identify it?" Lin Yuan handed the ck sphere back to Xi Lan.


    The ck sphere was now meaningless to Lin Yuan; its most important content had already been copied.


    "You''re right."


    "Just because I can''t recognize it doesn''t mean the three goddesses can''t."


    Xi Lan nodded. Many treasures and curiosities in the opportunity ces of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm had rare origins.


    It was normal for him not to recognize it now.


    After examining the ck sphere for a while longer, the two of them got down to business.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, what are your ns next?" Xi Lan asked.


    "I''m nning to check out the core area," Lin Yuan replied.


    Many strong beings were curious about the core area of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm and wanted to explore it.


    Lin Yuan''s n to head to the core area was not unusual.


    "The core area, huh." Xi Lan thought for a while, "Coincidentally, I was nning to enter the core area this time too."


    "Why don''t we go together?"


    Xi Lan suggested.


    The Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm had been opened many times.


    Xi Lan had entered several times, exploring many ces in the outer and inner areas.


    Only the core area remained unexplored.


    Now, it was a good time to check it out.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, although mybat strength isn''t as great as yours, I''m quite good at escaping and survival," Xi Lan said proactively.


    Just now, he had easily escaped from the ''Maduo'' walker, who was close to the millionyer realm, proving his words.


    At least, Lin Yuan didn''t have the same confidence.


    Facing the ''Maduo'' walker''s chase, Lin Yuan could stand his ground and drive him away.


    But escaping through numerousyers of space without being caught was difficult.


    "Alright."


    After thinking it over, Lin Yuan agreed.


    It was still a long way to the core area, requiring at least ten to twenty years to cross the vast inner area.


    Having apanion during this time wouldn''t be bad.


    As for separating from Xi Lan once they reached the core area, Lin Yuan could easily find a reason.


    On the main of the Milky Way.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes, a look of joy on his face.


    "A great harvest," Lin Yuan thought, his mind sinking into the depths of his consciousness to gaze at the new world coordinate imprint at the bottom of the Gate of Myriad Realms, smiling.


    This entry into the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm was to investigate the calling sensation.


    But unexpectedly, he also obtained a world coordinate from another dimension?


    For any strong being, world coordinates from other dimensions were useless, even for the strongest ones.


    They were of no use.


    Without the ability to break through dimensional barriers, a world coordinate was meaningless.


    But for Lin Yuan, with the Gate of Myriad Realms, it was different. He could easily descend to any world, no matter how many dimensions or realms away.


    The strongest ones couldn''t do it, but Lin Yuan could with just a wisp of source power.


    Of course, a wisp of source power could only allow random transmigration. As Lin Yuan''s strength grew, the drawbacks of random transmigration became more significant.


    When Lin Yuan was at the first or second rank, any world he descended to could greatly aid him.


    Because his strength was low, the potential for growth was high.


    But at the fifth, sixth, eighth, and ninth ranks, fewer worlds could provide significant help.


    This was why, during his eighth transmigration, Lin Yuan chose the ''Spirit Realm'' instead of randomly traversing.


    If he ended up in a low-level martial world like during his seventh transmigration, unable to even restore to the sixth rank or develop supernatural abilities, it would be a waste of source power.


    "Let''s see what level this world connected by the coordinate is at."


    Lin Yuan stared at the world coordinate at the bottom of the Gate of Myriad Realms.


    He was quite hopeful about the world behind this coordinate. The owner of the opportunity ce in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm was a follower of the great ''His Majesty''.


    And a follower of the strongest one couldn''t be weak.


    Thus, the home world of the opportunity ce''s owner couldn''t be too low-level either.


    If it were too low-level, it would have been crushed by the pressure of the dimensional gap.


    Buzz!


    Lin Yuan split a part of his mind, following the world coordinate, crossing dimensions, and arriving near a vast great world.


    "This world..."


    Lin Yuan carefully observed. At this moment, his perspective was through the Gate of Myriad Realms, allowing him to see many things he couldn''t normally see.


    Before thest transmigration, when observing the Spirit Realm, he saw the ''Immortal Realm'' above it. (Immortal World is the lower world under the Spirit Realm, Immortal Realm is the one above the Spirit Realm)


    It was known that the Immortal Realm and the Spirit Realm were not in the same spatialyer, only the ninth heaven of the Spirit Realm was connected to the spatialyer of the Immortal Realm.


    Momentster.


    Lin Yuan''s mind dissipated.


    "This world... its time flowpared to the main world is about one to two hundred or three hundred?"


    Lin Yuan spected.


    From the time flow, he inferred that this world was likely much stronger than the Spirit Realm. The time flowparison between the Spirit Realm and the main universe was five hundred to one.


    Although using time flow alone to determine a world''s strength was somewhat arbitrary, itrgely reflected the world''s foundation.


    "And this world seems a bit special." Lin Yuan thought.


    "My ninth transmigration can prioritize descending to this world." Lin Yuan decided.


    Although he had the world coordinate of the Immortal Realm, the Immortal Realm had ''Dao Ancestors''parable to the strongest ones.


    Aside from the ''Dao Ancestor'', Lin Yuan didn''t know if there were other Dao ancestors.


    The level of the Immortal Realm was too high for Lin Yuan. If he reached the tenth or eleventh rank in the future, he might consider descending to the Immortal Realm.


    But at his current ninth rank? The newly discovered world was more suitable.


    In the Tianyu n territory.


    On a huge.


    The Tianyu n''s strongest ninth-rank being, ''Huny'', opened his eyes.


    "Where exactly is the Milky Way Star Lord in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm?"


    Huny frowned. Upon learning that the Milky Way Star Lord had entered the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, he immediately began searching for his whereabouts.


    On battlefield B0001, the Milky Way Star Lord had ughtered the Tianyu n''s invincible eighth ranks like chickens, an insult that angered many Tianyu n strongmen.


    Huny was no exception.


    In the main universe, the Milky Way Star Lord was within human territory, under the eyes of the strongest ones, leaving Huny no opportunity to act.


    Even in futurerge alien battlefields, whether human civilization would let the Milky Way Star Lord participate was uncertain.


    Even if they did, they would certainly prepare many trump cards for him.


    Huny also wasn''t confident he could handle the Milky Way Star Lord.


    But in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, Huny believed he could deal with the Milky Way Star Lord.


    "Hmm?"


    "A strongman saw the Milky Way Star Lord shing with the ''Maduo'' walker?"


    Huny immediately contacted the ''Maduo'' walker.


    The Tianyu n had a good rtionship with the ''Maduo'' walker''s ancient god ancestor, and several n lords were close friends.


    Soon.


    The virtual image of the ''Maduo'' walker appeared before Huny.


    "''Maduo''."


    Huny looked at the ''Maduo'' walker, "I heard you shed with the Milky Way Star Lord?"


    "Recently, I did have contact with the Milky Way Star Lord over a treasure," the ''Maduo'' walker admitted.


    "Since you had contact, with your methods, using thew of causality, you should be able to roughly locate the Milky Way Star Lord''s position, right?"


    Huny continued.


    The ''Maduo'' walker''s direct sh with the Milky Way Star Lord created a significant causal link. Using this link, he could roughly locate the opponent''s position.


    Of course, this method required equivalent strength levels.


    If an eighth-rank of the Tianyu n tried to use causality to locate a ninth-rank, it might not work and could even result in a bacsh.


    "Well..."


    The ''Maduo'' walker hesitated.


    "Rest assured, if you tell me the Milky Way Star Lord''s position, I, Huny, will greatly reward you."


    Huny said seriously.


    "Huny, it''s not that I don''t want to tell you."


    "It''s just that I really don''t know. The Milky Way Star Lord is also highly skilled in thew of causality, I can''t lock onto him."


    The ''Maduo'' walker shook his head.


    "More skilled in causality than you?" Huny was surprised.


    "Yes."


    The ''Maduo'' walker nodded.


    "In that case, never mind."


    Huny didn''t suspect anything.


    He disconnected from the ''Maduo'' walker.


    Elsewhere in the universe.


    The ''Maduo'' walker, seeing Huny''s virtual image disappear, breathed a sigh of relief.


    "Ancestor."


    "Is it really alright to deceive Huny like this?"


    The ''Maduo'' walker looked at the enormous figure beside him.


    It was his ancient god ancestor.


    After shing with Lin Yuan, the ''Maduo'' walker had told his ancestor everything.


    He found Lin Yuan''s talent too terrifying, and even after revealing information about Huny, he was still uncertain and needed his ancestor''s advice.


    When Huny contacted him just now, the ''Maduo'' walker was considering whether to agree.


    After all, Huny was from the Tianyu n, the strongest ninth-rank being of the era, potentially bing a n lord.


    But before the ''Maduo'' walker could decide, his ancestor signaled him not to reveal the Milky Way Star Lord''s position.


    "Deceive? What do you mean by deceive?"


    The ancient god ancestor red at the ''Maduo'' walker, "How do you think your ancestor has navigated the universe for so long?"


    "By using foresight!"


    The ancient god ancestor said seriously, "If the Milky Way Star Lord''s strength is as you described, his talent is even greater than rumored. How long has it been since he entered the ninth rank, and he already has the strength to repel you?"


    "But Huny..."


    The ''Maduo'' walker was still worried.


    He had used the excuse that the Milky Way Star Lord was skilled in causality to refuse Huny, but this could be easily verified by another ninth-rank strongman skilled in causality.


    They could use causality sensing to verify if the Milky Way Star Lord was skilled in it.


    The ''Maduo'' walker worried that Huny would find out he was stalling.


    "But what?"


    The ancient god ancestor rolled his eyes, "Huny might reach the tenth rank, but the Milky Way Star Lord will likely reach the eleventh rank. With human civilization''s attention on him, he might even reach the ultimate rank of the Strongest One."


    "Offending Huny, your ancestor can protect you."


    The ancient god ancestor nced at the ''Maduo'' walker.


    "But if you offend the Milky Way Star Lord, even I might be implicated... so you better behave yourself!!"

 Chapter 304

    Chapter 304


    Time passed, and fifteen years went by in the blink of an eye.


    Milky Way Star, Star Lord''s Hall.


    Lin Yuan''s true body sat cross-legged. In the small area in front of him, space faintly trembled, and time gradually twisted.


    Buzzing sounds filled the area as the time flow asionally increased and sometimes slowed.


    "Since I started grasping the rules of time nine years ago, my subsequent insights have be slower and slower," Lin Yuan said, observing the area with different time flows before him. "It seems unlikely that I can fullyprehend the rules of time at the ninth rank."


    "Even if I forcefullyprehend it with Unrivaled Insight, it would take tens of thousands of years. By then, I could have already advanced to the strongest one." Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The rules of time don''t help in breaking through from the ninth to the tenth rank,


    nor do they improve one''s foundation significantly.


    Normally, a ninth-rank strongman wouldn''t devote much time and energy to understanding the rules of time, as it''s a bottomless pit.Only Lin Yuan, with his Unrivaled Insight, attempted it for a few years, concluding that it would take tens of thousands of years to fully understand the rules of time.


    Of course, this refers to time spent at the ninth rank.


    Once Lin Yuan reaches the tenth or even eleventh rank, understanding time will likely be much faster.


    "Inparison to the rules of space, the rules of time are somewhat redundant. They are tied to one''s essence, and without a high level of life essence, they are essentially useless."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    For example, some ancient eleventh-rank beings, few of whom haveprehended the rules of time.


    Even if they could enter the river of time and revive those who have died in the past, would they dare to do so?


    No.


    Even if they could revive the weakest sixth-rank beings, they wouldn''t dare.


    They have the ability to do so, but they wouldn''t.


    Because it vites the operating rules of the main universe, and doing so would result in bacsh from the main universe.


    The essence of the strongest ones is so profound that they can withstand the bacsh from ''reviving,'' but eleventh-rank beings can''t.


    Lin Yuan, who has just started with the rules of time, can only achieve time eleration and deceleration, and even then, the most he can manage is three times the normal speed.


    Whether elerating or decelerating time, he can only maintain it for twenty breaths, and if the area exceeds three meters around him, the duration will sharply decrease.


    If the area covered includes a strongman with a higher essence than Lin Yuan, the effect might copse prematurely.


    It''s like trying to trap a whale with a small fishing.


    As for slowing down his body''s time flow to achieve a type of ''longevity,'' it only results in extended lifespan.


    When time flow differs from the main universe, the perception of many cosmic rules bes vague.


    Time is a pir rule, and it''s through the power of time that life can perceive the fluctuations of many cosmic rules.


    When time rules differ from the main universe, it''s equivalent to cutting off the perception of cosmic rules.


    Unless new rules of operation are rebuilt within the time flow area.


    Lin Yuan''s eight transmigrations each led to worlds with different time flows from the main universe, but he could stillprehend cosmic rules there.


    This is because each world had rules of operation suited to its time flow.


    "Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm."


    Lin Yuan nced at the depths of the starry sky. Fifteen years had passed, and the Yang Primordial Spirit had covered most of the inner area.


    In five or six more years, it would enter the core area.


    Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    Deep within multipleyers of space.


    Lin Yuan and Xi Lan were on their way.


    Traveling with Xi Lan had significantly increased Lin Yuan''s travel efficiency.


    Although Xi Lan''sbat power was average, he excelled at ''leaping'' between spaceyers, saving Lin Yuan a lot of trouble.


    For instance, when encountering a tough native creature, they could often escape before it even noticed the fluctuations in the spaceyers.


    The native creature wouldn''t have time to chase them.


    "The Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm has been open for over twenty years," Xi Lan said while traveling, his tone slightly heavy.


    "Many of my friends who entered the Secret Realm have died."


    Xi Lan sighed. "If I hadn''t listened to you, Milky Way Star Lord, and stayed away from those opportunity ces, I might not be here now."


    Opportunity ces contain treasures and are great opportunities, but also great risks.


    Because many alien strongmen would flock there, trying topete for treasures could easily get you killed by an alien strongman.


    Xi Lan had already gained a lot from this trip to the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, aside from the mysterious ck sphere. He had also luckily entered another opportunity ce earlier.


    Now, for Xi Lan, the most important thing was a safe return.


    "Indeed." Lin Yuan nodded.


    Over the past twenty years, he had made some friends among the ninth-rank human evolvers and learned some information about this trip to the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    "Currently, the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm is unsafe everywhere. Some strong alien beings in the outer area, likely with substantial gains, are starting to sweep the outer regions."


    Xi Lan''s face showed a hint of sarcasm. "Now, there are millionyer and ten-millionyer ninth-rank alien strongmen sweeping the outer area."


    Lin Yuan was not surprised by this.


    The Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm had been open for over twenty years, and the ninth-rank beings who had survived this long had likely gained something, bing targets for those millionyer and ten-millionyer alien hunters.


    Instead of painstakingly exploring opportunity ces, these hunters found it easier to target those who had already found them.


    In the main universe, hunting a ninth-rank being, even a newly advanced one, requires considering many factors, such as whether their faction would provide support.


    More importantly, even if they killed a ninth-rank being, it was likely just an avatar, carrying few valuable treasures.


    But in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, it was different.


    Those who survived until now were like walking treasure troves to the millionyer and ten-millionyer strongmen, with even the weakest having significant gains.


    Lin Yuan himself had umted quite a bit, even though he avoided opportunity ces as much as possible. Other strongmen must have even more.


    With the outer area being the smallest, it was the first to be swept.


    Lin Yuan and Xi Lan moving towards the core area actually helped them avoid the first wave of hunters.


    "To leave the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, one must be in the outer area when it closes, to be expelled."


    Lin Yuan sighed slightly.


    The Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm had 333 entrances in the main universe, but they were only entrances, not exits.


    If one wasn''t in the outer area when it closed, they would be left inside and eventually killed by the realm''s power.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, have you made any breakthroughs in these fifteen years?" Xi Lan asked curiously.


    If it were any other ninth-rank strongman, Xi Lan wouldn''t ask this question. Fifteen years for a ninth-rank strongman is like a blink of an eye.


    But this was Lin Yuan.


    Xi Lan had witnessed Lin Yuan''s rapid growth firsthand.


    Just decades ago, Lin Yuan was still fighting eighth-rank beings in the mid-sized alien battlefield.


    And in such a short time, he could repel a ninth-rank strongman like the ''Maduo'' walker, who was close to the millionyer realm.


    That happened fifteen years ago.


    Now, fifteen yearster.


    Lin Yuan could only be stronger.


    "Indeed, I have made some breakthroughs."


    Lin Yuan smiled and didn''t deny it.


    "That''s insane," Xi Lan sighed.


    Watching a once little guy catch up, surpass, and quickly leave him behind was aplex feeling for Xi Lan.


    Living in the same era as the Milky Way Star Lord, he wasn''t sure if it was fortunate or unfortunate.


    Xi Lan didn''t ask further, as detailed inquiries would be presumptuous.


    But Lin Yuan''s mind shed through many breakthroughs of the past fifteen years.


    First was entering the rules of time. Most ninth-rank beings wouldn''t achieve this.


    Even if a ninth-rank being lucked into it, it would be after reaching the peak of the ninth rank, with no room to advance, coupled with good luck and umted experience.


    For Lin Yuan, entering the rules of time within twenty to thirty years of reaching the ninth rank was almost unbelievable.


    Entering the rules of time didn''t significantly boost directbat power, but its auxiliary effects were rare and valuable.


    Next was the development of spaceyers. In fifteen years, Lin Yuan had developed his spaceyers to 198,000.


    From the perspective of spaceyers, Lin Yuan wasn''t weak even among ten-millionyer beings.


    198,000 spaceyersbined with his over 100M miles of internal world could boost Lin Yuan''s directbat power to the level of a two-millionyer being.


    Of course, this was only in terms of directbat power. In other aspects, Lin Yuan stillgged far behind a two-millionyer being.


    Such as mastery over numerous spaceyers and the ability to upy multipleyers instantly.


    Additionally, Lin Yuan asionally continued to study the body of the strongest one, seeking to understand more about the path of demonic evolution.


    These demonic evolution paths benefited Lin Yuan, even at the ninth rank.


    Moreover, Lin Yuan aimed to further elevate his rank within the Devil Jade Tower.


    After bing a core member of the Devil Jade Tower, the next level was a sequence member.


    Compared to ordinary and core members, sequence members truly wielded power in the Devil Jade Tower.


    If Lin Yuan became a sequence member, he would likely gain partial control over the Devil Jade Space.


    In this way.


    Even if an alien strongman condensed a Devil Jade Mark and became an ordinary member, using the mark to enter the Devil Jade Space, Lin Yuan could use his sequence member authority to expel them.


    This would prevent aliens from gaining benefits from the Devil Jade Space. Lin Yuan knew the treasures in the reward vault of the nine-story ck building were incredibly precious.


    Lin Yuan even spected that if he continued to raise his rank in the Devil Jade Tower, he might one day be the new master of the Devil Jade Tower.


    Although the Devil Jade Tower had declined after its master''s disappearance and many members had scattered and hidden, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse.


    The treasures in just one floor of the nine-story ck building''s reward vault were enough to make Lin Yuan''s eyes shine, let alone the entire Devil Jade Tower.


    Finally, there was the absorption of the mysterious liquid from the gourd.


    Lin Yuan had now absorbed the sixth type of blue liquid, and was halfway through it, expanding his internal world to 180M miles in diameter.


    It should be noted... every expansion of the internal world after developing spaceyers increased the power of each spaceyer.


    This greatly influenced Lin Yuan''s strength.


    Of course, only Lin Yuan''s true body reached 180M miles in diameter. The Yang Primordial Spirit in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm still had the same internal world size as before entering.


    After all, Lin Yuan couldn''t send the mysterious gourd to the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm for the Yang Primordial Spirit to absorb.


    Actually, he could send it through the Gate of Myriad Realms.


    In the transmigrated world, he could use a wisp of source power to send items from the main world to the transmigrated world.


    Simrly, in the main world, Lin Yuan''s true body and Primordial Spirit could instantly transfer items through the Gate of Myriad Realms.


    It would just cost source power.


    As for the istion of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm? If he could cross dimensional barriers, the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm was nothing.


    But Lin Yuan didn''t do this because the mysterious gourd would be at risk in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    If the Yang Primordial Spirit, holding the mysterious gourd, encountered a strongman Lin Yuan couldn''t resist or danger within the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, losing the gourd would be devastating.


    "Source power?"


    Lin Yuan sighed softly. Fifteen years ago, he had umted seventy-one wisps of source power.


    Now, he had reached 120 wisps.


    Thisrge amount of source power allowed Lin Yuan to ''customize'' a transmigration.


    Spending a hundred wisps of source power, the Gate of Myriad Realms could select a world for transmigration based on his conditions.


    "If it weren''t for the need to conserve energy for transmigrations, I''d want to transmigrate now." Lin Yuan shook his head.


    Before breaking through a bottleneck, Lin Yuan avoided transmigrating to not hinder his progress.


    But now? He needed to umte time to develop spaceyers, a perfect time for transmigration.


    Unfortunately, he was in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm and wanted to uncover the cause of the ''calling sensation,'' so he decided to dy the transmigration.


    It wouldn''t make much difference.


    No loss of source power either.


    "Only five or six years left to reach the core area."


    Xi Lan couldn''t help but whisper. He also wanted to see the core area of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    "Yes."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    As they hurried along.


    Boom!


    A terrifying celestial phenomenon ripple came from afar, affecting multiple spaceyers.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression changed slightly as he looked towards the source of the ripple.


    ...

 Chapter 305

    Chapter 305


    "Another ce of opportunity has emerged?"


    Xi Lan looked shocked. "This celestial phenomenon is the strongest I have ever seen. The treasures inside must at least rival ten-star cosmic rarities, perhaps even reaching the ten-star supreme level."


    Xi Lan had experienced entering the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm multiple times and had witnessed many ces of opportunity emerge, so he had a good understanding of their value.


    The moment he sensed the celestial fluctuation, he roughly judged its worth.


    "Ten-star, maybe even ten-star supreme cosmic rarities?" Lin Yuan was also tempted.


    The World Tree was an eleven-star supreme treasure, and now the treasures in this distant ce of opportunity might reach ten-star supreme?


    Such high-level treasures are extremely rare even in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, and they don''t emerge every time the secret realm opens.


    While Lin Yuan and Xi Lan were observing fromyers of space, two powerful auras instantly pierced through numerousyers of space.


    Boom!!!Boom!!!!!


    "Hahahaha, this ce of opportunity is mine."


    With terrifyingughter, a tall figure in a ck robe appeared above the ce of opportunity.


    He gently extended his right hand and retrieved a treasure emitting a hazy gray aura.


    Lin Yuan and Xi Lan felt a tremor in their hearts at this sight. The aura of this tall figure in ck robes far exceeded the ninth rank''s millionfold boundary, and the spaceyers he had opened were at least more than twenty millionyers.


    "I think I saw a gxy being nurtured within that treasure," Xi Lan murmured.


    Such treasures do not exist in the main universe, but the fact that they attracted a powerhouse capable of opening more than twenty millionyers of space means they must be priceless.


    "We should leave quickly."


    Lin Yuan had a stronger resistance to treasures than Xi Lan.


    Once he confirmed the treasure was taken, he immediately prepared to leave.


    Now that the strong man''s attention should still be on that treasure, leaving now should be fine.


    "Yes."


    "We need to go quickly."


    Xi Lan also realized this.


    Although he didn''t know the identity of the strong man in ck robes, he was sure he wasn''t a human evolver.


    If he were a human evolver, the ck disc would have reacted by now.


    This disc is a treasure given to every human evolver by human civilization to confirm each other''s identity and location in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    Since he wasn''t a human evolver, if he discovered Lin Yuan and Xi Lan nearby, he likely wouldn''t mind gaining some extra ie.


    "Go, go, go."


    Xi Lan tried to calm the spatial fluctuations as much as possible and quickly led Lin Yuan away in another direction.


    At that moment, another aura erupted.


    In the distance, another figure bathed in a milky white aura appeared, looking somewhat dissatisfied at the figure in ck robes.


    "Still a step toote."


    The milky white figure frowned but did not make a move to snatch it.


    The strength of the figure in ck robes was not inferior to his, and even if he tried, he wouldn''t seed. It would only vent his anger, which was meaningless.


    "Hahahaha, Huny, I''m leaving first. The most valuable treasure in this Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm is probably mine."


    The figure in ck robesughed heartily and disappeared again.


    Only Huny, who was bathed in a milky white aura with twelve pairs of wings on his back, was left standing there.


    As the strongest ninth-rank of the Tianyu n in this generation, Huny hadn''t gained much from this trip to the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    He was still searching for the Milky Way Star Lord, who was hiding like a mouse somewhere.


    "Hmm?"


    Huny''s senses spread in all directions, permeating throughyers of space, nning to catch a few ants to vent his anger.


    Suddenly, Huny''s expression changed slightly, looking in one direction.


    It was the direction in which Xi Lan and Lin Yuan were escaping.


    "A human aura? The Milky Way Star Lord?"


    Huny''s spirit was lifted. The twelve pairs of pure white wings on his back gently spread, and his figure disappeared from where he stood.


    "Hurry up."


    "The strong maning after us should be ''Huny'' from the Tianyu n."


    Xi Lan''s expression was solemn. He didn''t recognize the figure in ck robes, but the one bathed in a milky white aura that appearedter was very likely from the Tianyu n.


    And among the many strong individuals of the Tianyu n who entered the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm this time, someone with such strength was most likely Huny.


    "Huny?"


    Lin Yuan also felt the pressure.


    He had already heard from the ''Maduo'' walker that Huny was searching for him everywhere to avenge the humiliation on the battlefield of the alien races.


    However, the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm was vast, and Lin Yuan had no interest in those ces of opportunity. Huny trying to lock onto his location was like finding a needle in a haystack.


    He didn''t expect his luck to be so bad, running into a ce of opportunity on the way to the core area.


    The celestial phenomenon caused by this ce of opportunity drew Huny over.


    Even Lin Yuan found this coincidence somewhat unbelievable.


    Was he really that unlucky?


    "Hahahaha."


    "Milky Way Star Lord, do you think you can escape?"


    Suddenly, a voice echoed in their ears, and at the same time, a vast, holy aura began approaching rapidly.


    "Huny is chasing us?"


    Xi Lan''s heart trembled. He had hoped Huny hadn''t noticed them.


    They had hidden in the depths ofyers of space all along. As long as Huny didn''t actively probe the spaceyers, he wouldn''t discover their lingering aura.


    In a few breaths, the aura would dissipate. Even someone as strong as Huny wouldn''t know where they had fled.


    But unfortunately, Huny didn''t do as he had hoped.


    "He''s catching up?"


    Lin Yuan nced back.


    His brows furrowed.


    With his current strength, he could withstand a powerhouse of several million spaceyers, but Huny had opened over thirty millionyers.


    Not only was he the strongest ninth-rank life form of the Tianyu n, but even in the entire cosmic starry sky, there were few who could suppress Huny at the ninth-rank level.


    No matter how confident Lin Yuan was, he didn''t think he could stop Huny.


    At least not within the next fifty years.


    "This is trouble."


    Lin Yuan''s expression was heavy.


    Even though this was just a spirit body, death wouldn''t be a significant loss to his true self. He could recondense it in a short time.


    But the three ninth-rank treasures he carried and all the gains from entering the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm would be wasted.


    The most critical thing was the wasted time.


    The Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm only opens for a hundred years. To ensure he had enough time to return, Lin Yuan had to reach the core area within fifty years.


    Then use the remaining fifty years to return to the outer area before the secret realm closed, to be expelled back to the main universe.


    If he wasn''t in the outer area when the secret realm closed, he would be left inside, where he would die.


    The Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm had already been open for more than twenty years. If Lin Yuan''s spirit body died at Huny''s hands, his exploration of the ''call sensation'' from the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm would fail.


    Unless he didn''t n to return from the core area.


    But if he obtained a significant treasure from the call sensation in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, staying there would mean waiting until the next opening.


    Given the frequency of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm''s opening¡ªevery two hundred thousand years¡ªby then, with Lin Yuan''s growth rate, even the strongest weapon would be practically useless.


    Behind him, Huny was in an extremely good mood.


    After searching for so long, he found the Milky Way Star Lord without any effort.


    He had been distressed over the treasure being taken by the figure in ck robes, but now he had discovered the Milky Way Star Lord.


    Milky Way Star Lord!


    He was an absolute nightmare for eighth-rank life forms of the Tianyu n.


    On the battlefield of alien races, the Milky Way Star Lord ughtered the invincible eighth-ranks of the Tianyu n like chickens, causing some eighth-rank lives to break down.


    Dying at the hands of ninth-rank powerhouses or due to some ''external force'' wasn''t unusual.


    But dying at the hands of a fellow eighth-rank like the Milky Way Star Lord, especially in such a manner, caused a significant morale drop in the Tianyu n.


    So for this trip to the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, Huny prioritized killing the Milky Way Star Lord over seeking opportunities.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, if you stop now, I''ll give you a quick death."


    Huny transmitted his voice while closing the distance.


    The stronger you are in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, the greater the limitations.


    For example, in the main universe, with Huny''s strength, he could catch up to Xi Lan and Lin Yuan with just a few teleports.


    But in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, teleportation wasn''t possible, and even extreme speeds were limited to ''light speed''.


    This meant Huny had to maintain a close distance and use his dominance over spaceyers to slowly close in.


    During this time, they couldn''t slip away from his upied spaceyers, or he''d have to start over.


    But Huny didn''t mind because he was confident he could catch up to Xi Lan and Lin Yuan, no matter the time spent.


    "Stop?"


    Of course, Lin Yuan wouldn''t give up. He raised his right hand and unleashed the power of the world and numerous spaceyers,unching an attack at Huny.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, even if I stand still and let you attack..."


    Huny grinned, unconcerned.


    As a ninth-rank powerhouse who had opened over thirty million spaceyers, Huny was supremely confident. His life force was vast.


    Any attack would be dispersed and weakened by the millions of spaceyers, leaving little impact when it finally reached him.


    However¡ª


    When Lin Yuan''s attack hit Huny, thetter''s expression changed slightly.


    "An attack equivalent to at least two million spaceyers at full strength?" Huny was incredulous. He wasn''t hurt.


    But the power of Lin Yuan''s full-strength strike was astonishing. How long had he been at the ninth rank? Most newly ascended ninth-rank beings were still mastering many spaceyers. Yet Lin Yuan could unleash such a powerful strike?


    Huny was full of disbelief, and his determination to kill Lin Yuan grew stronger.


    Such a monstrous talent would cause untold losses to the Tianyu n in the future. He had to kill this clone to slow Lin Yuan''s growth.


    "It''s useless."


    Lin Yuan realized his full-strength strike had no effect on Huny and immediately understood that he couldn''t stop him alone.


    "What do we do?" Xi Lan was also anxious.


    He was carrying many treasures.


    "Should we split up? Huny''s target is me." Lin Yuan suggested.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, what do you mean?" Xi Lan frowned immediately. "It''s just a clone. Do you think I can''t bear the loss?"


    "Right."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    Even if they split up, Xi Lan couldn''t escape.


    Being chased by a powerhouse like Huny, who had seen and pursued them, their aura was locked, making escape impossible within the secret realm.


    "I''ve contacted many friends. Among the human evolvers who entered the secret realm this time, two can hold Huny."


    "But they are far away, and it might take twenty to thirty years to get here."


    Xi Lan whispered.


    The Tianyu n had Huny, a unique ninth-rank who had opened over thirty millionyers. Human civilization naturally had ninth-rank powerhouses of the same level.


    But they were too far away. In the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, without teleportation, it would take too long to reach here.


    Twenty to thirty years?


    The clone might be reformed by then.


    "Brother Xi Lan, how long can you hold out against Huny''s pursuit?" Lin Yuan suddenly asked.


    "Hold out?"


    Xi Lan was slightly stunned.


    In the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, facing the pursuit of a terrifying powerhouse like Huny, holding out for a few days would be considered impressive at the ninth rank below a millionyers.


    But Xi Lan was different. He had strong escape methods and was adept at jumping throughyers of space. He could hold out longer.


    But it wouldn''t matter.


    No matter how long he held out, he couldn''tst twenty to thirty years.


    Eventually, he would still die at Huny''s hands.


    Rather than that, it was better to self-destruct and reform the clone.


    "I have an elder who cane to save us in three years." Lin Yuan thought for a moment and made up a reason.


    "An elder?"


    "Three years?"


    Xi Lan''s eyes lit up.


    He didn''t doubt Lin Yuan''s words. As the strongest genius in human civilization''s history, having a powerful elder was not unusual.


    "Three years. If I burn everything in this clone, including my mind and will, I can hold out."


    Xi Lan thought for a moment and said seriously.


    This was due to the special environment of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm and his evolutionary path.


    In the outside world, he wouldn''tst three seconds, let alone three years.


    "Are you sure your elder wille within three years?"


    Xi Lan asked nervously again.


    Burning the clone was nothing, but burning the mind and will would significantly impact the true self.


    Of course, the strength gained would be terrifying, enough for Xi Lan to survive Huny''s pursuit for three years.


    Xi Lan could hold out but feared Lin Yuan''s elder wouldn''t arrive in three years.


    If that happened, he would have burned his mind and will and lost the treasures carried by the clone¡ªa massive loss.


    "Don''t worry."


    "Three years is more than enough."


    Lin Yuan continued, "Take me into your inner world, and I''ll contact my elder."


    "Okay."


    Xi Lan nodded.


    Lin Yuan''s figure disappeared.


    In the inner world, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged in a corner.


    "Three years..."


    "With the current time flow, the main world will pass no more than two and a half years."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The ''three years for the elder to save them'' he told Xi Lan wasn''t true.


    Lin Yuan nned to use these three years for his ninth transmigration.


    With the information from the new world imprint coordinates, including the time flow between the two worlds and the duration of the transmigration, he calcted the exact time the main world would pass during his ninth transmigration.


    "Brother Xi Lan."


    "Hold on..."


    Lin Yuan slowly closed his eyes as the Gate of Myriad Realms in his mind began to shine.

 Chapter 306

    Chapter 306


    Milky Way Main Star.


    Lin Yuan also closed his eyes.


    His mind sank deep into his consciousness, before the grand and majestic Gate of Myriad Realms.


    At this moment, the Gate of Myriad Realms shone brightly, and thest world imprint at the ''threshold'' below was also glowing.


    "For this transmigration, I must always keep an eye on the situation in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm. If Xi Lan can''t hold on, I''ll immediately obliterate my Yang Spirit."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Although Xi Lan said he couldst three years, Lin Yuan would not ce all his hopes on him.


    After all, the opponent was Huny, the strongest ninth-rank life form of the Tianyu n. Who knew what cards he might still have up his sleeve?


    Lin Yuan would never let his Yang Spirit fall into the enemy''s hands, even if it was just an empty shell, with the core will long having entered the Gate of Myriad Realms to descend into other dimensional worlds.As for how to obliterate the Yang Spirit? Lin Yuan had already set up measures around the Yang Spirit. Once triggered, the Yang Spirit would copse quickly.


    Of course, this meant he likely wouldn''t uncover the secret of the ''call sensation'' in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm during this opening.


    However, for Lin Yuan, this was a loss he could bear.


    Even without the opportunities in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, Lin Yuan could still reach the peak of the universe, it would just take a bit longer.


    "This transmigration willst approximately 1,100 years, with a time flow ratio of over 300 to 1, meaning more than two years will pass in the main world."


    "In the 1,100 years in the transmigrated world, I must at least cultivate to the level of ten millionyers, opening up ten millionyers of space."


    Lin Yuan set a n for himself.


    With his internal world spanning nearly two hundred million miles, even opening just ten millionyers of space would be enough to crush someone like Huny, who had opened over thirty millionyers of space.


    This was the intrinsic advantage of the internal world itself.


    "Let''s begin."


    Lin Yuan watched as the Gate of Myriad Realms before him grew ever more radiant, with space and time gently rippling. His mind and will were fully absorbed into it.


    Lin Yuan felt his consciousness blur and his thoughts waver. When he finally managed to open his eyes, he felt a pervasive weakness throughout his body.


    "Where am I?"


    Lin Yuan sat up but could barely take a deep breath.


    This body was incredibly weak, almost entirely decayed at the root.


    "I can feel many spatial fluctuations..."


    Lin Yuan looked at the surrounding void.


    At his level, even without any strength, his realm would not fall, allowing him to easily see the subtle changes between spaces.


    Of course, he could only see them. To manipte or use them would require a strong enough body and soul.


    No matter the world, the body and soul are the foundations.


    "My identity is the grandson of Viscount Longshan? The third heir of the Longshan family? My favorite pastime is indulging in maids? The maids here are not limited to human girls?" (Hehe, surprised? Can you guess what type of world is it?)


    Lin Yuan quickly absorbed the memories, understanding why this body was so weak.


    Indulgence in women, losing one''s essence. If not for frequent consumption of supplements, this body would have likely ''died from exhaustion'' long ago.


    "This world I''ve descended into..."


    Lin Yuan''s expression grew slightly serious.


    Although the original owner was ignorant and ipetent, he had basic knowledge about the world.


    This world was boundless, divided into three parts: the ''Human Realm'' where Lin Yuan currently was, the Sea of Light, and the Abyss of Darkness.


    Both the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness were said to be the dwellings of gods, each with twelve supreme main gods.


    Twenty-four main gods looked down upon the human realm and all other gods.


    "Gods..."


    Lin Yuan recalled information about the gods.


    To be a god, one must spread faith and then elevate their divine kingdom to enter the Sea of Light or the Abyss of Darkness.


    "Gods need to elevate their divine kingdoms... somewhat akin to eighth-rank beings opening up their internal worlds?" Lin Yuan spected.


    So far, he didn''t know the exact power of the gods in this world, but he guessed they were roughly equivalent to the eighth rank in his main world due to their divine kingdoms.


    "The powerful in this world follow the path of spreading faith?"


    Lin Yuan mused. Faith was the purest form of emotions and desires in living beings'' hearts.


    Evolutionary schrs of human civilization in the main universe had long discovered this type of power and even created evolutionary paths using it.


    However, relying purely on the faith of living beings as the source of one''s power had significant hidden dangers, often leading to the evolver losing themselves in the desires of the masses.


    Sess through faith, and downfall through faith.


    But in this world, the path of faith seemed very smooth.


    At least many gods had elevated their divine kingdoms and ascended to the divine thrones using the faith of all beings.


    Even the twenty-four main gods of the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness wielded power through faith?


    "Faith..."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts drifted.


    Spreading faith and spreading one''s evolutionary path were entirely different concepts.


    Faith is about fervent worship, unreserved devotion, while spreading an evolutionary path is not.


    For instance, those who practice Lin Yuan''s martial evolution path do not need to know about Lin Yuan himself.


    "The Longshan family was granted the viscount title by the empire. The first Viscount Longshan made great contributions to the empire."


    "The territory of the Longshan family, named Longshan Territory, spans about sixty million miles. This world is evenrger than I anticipated..."


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    A viscount''s territory alone covered sixty million miles, so howrge was the entire empire? And the empire where Longshan Territory was located was only one of many in the ''teau of Nations''.


    Lin Yuan rubbed his temples. Even a rough estimate suggested this world was at least over five hundred light-years in size.


    And that was just the human realm, not including the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness.


    "This world''s cultivation system primarily follows the ''knight'' cultivation system, ranked from level one to level seven."


    Lin Yuan thought silently.


    A fifth-level knight is also known as a great knight. The first Viscount Longshan of the past possessed such power, establishing the Longshan family.


    A sixth-level knight is a ''legendary'' knight. As for a seventh-level knight? No such powerhouse had emerged in the empire, though traces of them asionally appeared on the teau of Nations.


    A seventh-level knight is also called a ''demigod,'' and such beings have the qualification to create their ''divine names'' and spread faith to attempt the next step.


    "The knight cultivation system..." Lin Yuan''s mind conjured up a knight cultivation method.


    It was the Longshan family''s Longshan Cultivation Method, which the first Viscount Longshan used to achieve prominence.


    However, Lin Yuan only had the basic parts of the Longshan Cultivation Method.


    "Average, equivalent to a fifth-rank evolutionary path in the main world," Lin Yuan concluded after a nce.


    The Longshan Cultivation Method was the foundation for a fifth-level great knight, something many knights yearned to study.


    Even just the basic parts.


    But for Lin Yuan,ing from a main universe with a vast array of evolutionary paths, and as a ninth-rank powerhouse himself, it was unimpressive.


    [Name: Longshan Yuan (Lin Yuan)]


    [Identity: Master of the Gate of Myriad Realms]


    [Bound Talent: Unrivaled Insight]


    [Divine Power: Blood Rebirth]


    [Divine Power: Moving Mountains]


    [Divine Power: Enhancement]


    [Current Status: Consciousness Descent]


    [Remaining Duration: 1,110 years]


    Lin Yuan refocused his thoughts and looked at the phantom text below his vision.


    "Over a thousand years of stay time, not bad." Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    He had sensed the duration of this transmigration , but only after descending could he confirm the exact length.


    With over a thousand years, Lin Yuan was confident that with his Unrivaled Insight, as long as he didn''t die prematurely, opening up ten millionyers of space was assured.


    "Premature death?"


    Lin Yuan frowned slightly.


    Images ofst night shed through his mind; he had attended avish party at a friend''s invitation.


    The party was extremely extravagant, with many beauties appearing. Eventually, Lin Yuan took a fancy to a charming fox girl, and they spent the night together.


    He couldn''t remember much after that, only a feeling of ecstasy. But upon awakening, he found his essence significantly depleted.


    Had Lin Yuan not entered this body in time to instinctively lock his essence, he would have been much weaker, perhaps unable to even get out of bed.


    "Coincidence?"


    "Or intentional?"


    Lin Yuan squinted his eyes. He was not in Longshan Territory but in Anpu City.


    Anpu City was a prosperous trading hub at the intersection of Longshan Territory and several other territories, known for its various pleasure venues from the empire and beyond.


    It was also the favorite ce for viscount heirs like Longshan Yuan.


    More than half a month ago, Longshan Yuan hade to Anpu City with his guards and a few disreputable friends and had been indulging ever since.


    In a dark pce, a woman in a ck veil, with a seductive silhouette faintly visible, stood before a statue.


    "Goddess," a charming fox girl knelt reverently below.


    "How is Longshan Yuan?" the veiled woman asked coldly.


    "Goddess, I drained Longshan Yuan''s essence all night. Even if he isn''t dead, his essence is greatly damaged," the fox girl reported immediately.


    "Be careful, Longshan Yuan must die naturally," the veiled woman frowned.


    Longshan Yuan was the grandson of Viscount Longshan. If his death had any suspicious elements, Viscount Longshan would be furious.


    A thorough investigation would cause significant trouble.


    Not that they feared Viscount Longshan; he was old and frail.


    The first and second heirs were also aging. Even if they became the new viscount, they wouldn''t live long.


    Their church had already secretly controlled the fourth heir of the Longshan family.


    As long as Longshan Yuan died ''naturally,'' without arousing suspicion, they could control the entire Longshan Territory in a few decades.


    "Rest assured, Goddess, I know my limits," the fox girl promised.


    "I only drained a little each time, so no one will notice. After seven times, Longshan Yuan''s death will be attributed to overindulgence."


    Given Longshan Yuan''s prior indulgence, death from overindulgence would be perfectly normal, and even Viscount Longshan himself wouldn''t suspect anything.


    Although Longshan Yuan''s parents and Viscount Longshan had warned him many times, even cing him under house arrest, it was ineffective. Longshan Yuan remained incorrigible.


    "Good."


    The veiled woman nodded in satisfaction.


    Securing Longshan Territory would greatly benefit their church''s god''s faith propagation.


    The territory spanned over sixty million miles with a poption exceeding a hundred billion, a vast source of faith that, if secured, would earn divine rewards.


    Of course.


    All of this had to be done secretly, especially spreading faith. If leaked, they would face the empire''s purge.


    In the empire, only one god was worshipped, the God of Order, one of the twelve main gods of the Sea of Light, with boundless divine power.


    All other faith churches were considered evil and needed to be eradicated.


    In the room, having suspected he was being targeted, Lin Yuan began checking himself, circting his blood and assessing the loss of his essence.


    "There''s indeed an issue."


    Lin Yuan''s expression grew solemn.


    Normally, even with indulgence, the body wouldn''t deteriorate so quickly, especially as the grandson of Viscount Longshan, who often consumed supplements to replenish his essence.


    "That fox girl?"


    Lin Yuan thought of the charming fox girl he had been withst night, who had enchanted Longshan Yuan.


    In hindsight, she seemed suspicious.


    However, the fox girl was unlikely to be the mastermind. There was no way the mastermind would act personally. There must be someone behind her.


    "Who''s trying to harm me?"


    Lin Yuan felt a headache. Longshan Yuan had many enemies due to his arrogant behavior, making finding the culprit like looking for a needle in a haystack.


    And the use of a seductive trap and a subtle method to drain Longshan Yuan indicated a formidable enemy.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression changed. He raised his right hand, pressing his brow, and then slowly moved it away.


    A wisp of pale pink aura coiled around his fingertips, slowly dissipating.


    "Divine power?"


    Lin Yuan was startled and then became serious.


    To be precise, it was a wisp of semi-divine power, the aura of a seventh-rank knight, which, with sufficient faith, could transform into full divine power.


    "Am I being targeted by a demigod?"


    "No, a demigod wouldn''t be interested in me. It must be a church founded to spread a demigod''s faith that has targeted me."


    In a sh, Lin Yuan''s mind raced with thoughts.


    In the empire and across the teau of Nations, the Sea of Light''s twelve main gods were the sole deities worshipped.


    Any demigod attempting to spread faith was a heretic.


    Even the twelve main gods of the Abyss of Darkness were not exempt.


    However, demigods had secretly spread their faith on the teau of Nations throughout history.


    They couldn''t resist the abundant faith avable in this region, tempting many seventh-rank demigods.

 Chapter 307

    Chapter 307


    "Demigods."


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed.


    In this world, seventh-rank powerhouses are also known as demigods.


    In the main world, seventh-rank evolvers must open their internal world to advance to the eighth rank.


    In this world, seventh-rank powerhouses must elevate their divine kingdom to be gods.


    Thetter requires the power of massive faith, which is why these demigods risk being discovered by the main gods to secretly spread their faith in the teau of Nations.


    Without sufficient faith, they cannot be immortal gods, and their bodies and souls will quickly decay.


    Of course, many seventh-rank demigods also submit to a main god, bing their subordinate gods.


    However, most demigods are too proud to ept this. Bing a subordinate god means giving up everything to the main god, including their own consciousness.Many demigods have cultivated from weakness to strength and are unwilling to pay such a price.


    "What should I do now?"


    Lin Yuan calmly analyzed the situation.


    Being targeted by a church founded by a demigod is a troublesome matter.


    Reporting directly to the empire or the Church of Light might be effective, but it doesn''t guarantee the demigod will be killed.


    If the demigod survives, they might retaliate, and Longshan Territory cannot withstand a demigod''s massacre.


    The strongest in Longshan Territory is the first Viscount Longshan, a fifth-rank great knight. Although he can dominate the empire, he is still far from matching a seventh-rank demigod.


    "I should return to Longshan Territory."


    After some contemtion, Lin Yuan made a decision.


    Although Anpu City is prosperous, it is filled with all sorts of people. Without absolute strength, Lin Yuan didn''t want to stay in such a ce.


    Longshan Territory is his family''snd, officially granted by the empire. The demigod church, already persecuted in the teau of Nations, wouldn''t dare to act openly.


    "Dashan."


    Lin Yuan walked out of the room. The warm sunlight bathed him as he called softly.


    "Young master." A burly man over three meters tall strode over.


    "What can I do for you, young master?" The burly man, Dashan, spoke in a deep voice, exuding a heavy aura.


    "I want to return to Longshan Territory."


    Lin Yuan looked at the massive figure before him.


    Dashan was Lin Yuan''s guard, and even within Longshan Territory, his strength ranked in the top twenty. He had dragon blood in his veins.


    Although only at the third level, when fully unleashing his bloodline, he could hold his own against a fourth-level knight for a short time.


    The only downside was hisck of intelligence, but as a guard, his strength was sufficient.


    "Return to Longshan Territory?"


    Dashan was slightly puzzled. The young master usually stayed in Anpu City for three or four months. Why leave after only a month this time?


    "Young master, was it that girlst night who didn''t serve you well?" Dashan grumbled. "I knew she wasn''t any good, so skinny."


    "Young master, let me introduce you to some more robust ones next time. They''ll definitely make youfortable..."


    Dashan immediately suggested, believing women should be strong, ideally over three meters tall and with a waist over a meter wide.


    He thought it was sad that the young master only enjoyed thin women and didn''t know the joy of strong women. Dashan felt great sympathy for Lin Yuan.


    "Grandfather wants me back."


    Lin Yuan gave a random excuse, not mentioning the fox girl much.


    Dashan was not smart and would likely b about everything. If the fox girl was indeed connected to a demigod church, it would alert them.


    Lin Yuan just wanted to return quietly to Longshan Territory and cultivate slowly. Time was on his side.


    Once he regained his full strength, he would fear no demigod church, nor any god from the Sea of Light or Abyss of Darkness.


    "Viscount..." Dashan''s expression turned serious.


    There were few people he respected, but Viscount Longshan was definitely one of them.


    "Let''s leave now." Dashan immediately said.


    "Alright." Lin Yuan nodded.


    Such things had happened before. While Lin Yuan was enjoying himself, he suddenly received orders to return.


    Now, using Viscount Longshan''s orders as an excuse to leave Anpu City and return to Longshan Territory was perfectly reasonable.


    Lin Yuan led his guards out of Anpu City.


    The deputy city lord of Anpu City personally came to see him off. "Young Master Longshan, leaving so soon? Was our hospitalitycking?"


    The deputy city lord, slightly bald, smiled as he asked Lin Yuan.


    "Family matters." Lin Yuan didn''t exin much, showing impatience, perfectly fitting the usual behavior of Young Master Longshan.


    "If it''s family business, then safe travels, Young Master Longshan. We have a gift prepared for your next visit."


    The deputy city lord spoke kindly. Despite looking down on Lin Yuan as a yboy, he had to respect the Longshan family''s power.


    Anpu City, located at the intersection of several viscount territories, needed to stay on good terms with these families.


    With a rumbling noise, the deputy city lord watched as Lin Yuan sat in his pnquin, carried quickly by seven or eight guards toward Longshan Territory.


    Lin Yuan''s departure was watched not only by the deputy city lord.


    In a nearby pavilion, the veiled woman also observed Lin Yuan''s departure.


    "Why did Longshan Yuan leave so suddenly? Our efforts were wasted," the charming fox girl beside her sighed.


    ording to their n, she would slowly drain Longshan Yuan''s essence over three months, causing his death from overindulgence on thest day.


    There would be no trace of foul y, even for the most skilled investigators.


    After a month of effort, with only two months left to sess, Longshan Yuan suddenly left?


    Once back, given his pampered status in the Longshan family, he would surely consume many supplements to replenish his essence.


    "No matter. He''ll return to Anpu City soon enough," the veiled woman said calmly.


    She saw no reason for suspicion. The excuse for leaving was Viscount Longshan''s orders, just bad luck for them.


    A single instance of bad luck wouldn''t persist indefinitely.


    The veiled woman believed that when Longshan Yuan returned to Anpu City, their n would seed.


    Once Longshan Yuan was dead, they would wait for the first and second heirs of Longshan Territory to die naturally.


    The entire Longshan Territory would be a nurturing ground for their demigod''s faith, potentially extending to other territories.


    Longshan Territory.


    Longshan City.


    Not long after returning, Lin Yuan met the original body''s parents.


    "Yuan, why did youe back so soon this time?" Longshan Fang, a middle-aged man, nced at Lin Yuan, slightly curious.


    Although he had no high hopes for his son, he was surprised to see him return from Anpu City early.


    He hadn''t heard of Viscount Longshan ordering Lin Yuan''s return.


    Could Lin Yuan havee back voluntarily?


    "Is there anything wrong withing back early?" The woman beside Longshan Fang, a young-lookingdy, red at him.


    "Son, what do you want to do this time? Longshan City might not be as lively as Anpu City, but it''s not bad either. You''ll find something interesting."


    She looked at her son affectionately.


    Lin Yuan nced at his parents but said nothing.


    The inheritance of the viscount title in the Longshan family didn''t follow a strict father-to-son pattern.


    It depended on the current viscount''s decision. For instance, when Lin Yuan was born, Viscount Longshan had just reached the fourth level and, in his joy, saw it as a good omen.


    Lin Yuan''s birth symbolized the continuous inheritance of the family''s fourth-level strength.


    Thus, he skipped over Lin Yuan''s father and made Lin Yuan the third heir.


    No one expected Lin Yuan to be so ipetent, indulging in women and showing no interest in inheriting the family legacy.


    "I came back this time to do something," Lin Yuan said seriously to his parents.


    "Important thing?" Longshan Fang pondered. "Did you fall for some girl?"


    "Son, don''t listen to your father. Just tell us what you want to do. I''ll always support you," the woman smiled.


    "I want to cultivate," Lin Yuan said.


    As the third heir of the Longshan family, if Lin Yuan wanted to cultivate, the family''s umted resources would be at his disposal.


    That was why Lin Yuan said it openly.


    Cultivating secretly to amaze everyer was too exhausting. Gathering resources would take too much time.


    "Cultivate?"


    Lin Yuan''s parents exchanged nces.


    They had imagined various outrageous requests from Lin Yuan but never expected this.


    To them, hearing ''cultivate'' from Lin Yuan was more astonishing and unbelievable.


    "Why the sudden interest in cultivation?" Longshan Fang stared at Lin Yuan, asking.


    "Because I find everything now meaningless. How long can I enjoy life? A hundred years? Two hundred at most."


    "And then wait for death?"


    "But cultivation is different. Bing a fifth-level great knight extends one''s lifespan and transforms the essence of life. That''s what I want to do."


    Lin Yuan exined his prepared reasons.


    "Alright."


    Longshan Fang thought for a moment and nodded. "I''ll inform the patriarch about your desire to cultivate. I hope this isn''t just a passing interest."


    Longshan Fang felt good about this.


    Lin Yuan''s words boiled down to one thing.


    He was bored of ying.


    The desire for longevity was universal, but bing a fifth-level great knight was not easy.


    However, it was a positive shift from indulgence to cultivation.


    Even if Longshan Fang doubted Lin Yuan''s potential, given his weakened state from indulgence, he might not even be a first-level knight.


    But overall, it was a healthy pursuit.


    "Son, cultivation is hard work," the woman said, concerned.


    "It''s okay. I want to try," Lin Yuan smiled.


    That afternoon.


    In the underground training grounds of the Longshan family.


    The vast area, spanning hundreds of miles, was where family members trained in seclusion.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, opposite an elderly man with white hair and beard.


    The old man looked frail but had a hidden strength capable of moving mountains.


    "Cultivation and bing a knight are not easy tasks," the old man said calmly.


    He was one of the few fourth-level knights in the Longshan family. Since the family''s founding by the first Viscount Longshan two thousand years ago, fifth-level great knights were rare.


    Typically, the highest power was a fourth-level knight, and the family relied on the initial viscount''s legacy to survive.


    For a viscount family, a fourth-level knight was usually enough to maintain dominance. A fifth-level great knight was a rarity during peak times.


    "I know," Lin Yuan nodded.


    "Good." The old man didn''t waste words and took out two items.


    One was a book, and the other was an orange fruit.


    "This is theplete Longshan Cultivation Method, and this is a Longshan Fruit, rich in energy."


    "Every descendant of the Longshan family must learn the Longshan Cultivation Method on their own."


    The old man said, "You have a month. If you can sense ''qi'' within this time, it means you have the potential to continue cultivating."


    "How do I know if I''ve sensed ''qi''?" Lin Yuan asked.


    "You will feel the sensation of ''qi''," the old man replied.


    He was about to exin the details of sensing ''qi''.


    Although every family member had to learn the cultivation method themselves, Lin Yuan, as the third heir, had special treatment.


    For instance, the detailed exnation of sensing ''qi''¡ªan opportunity other family members wouldn''t have.


    Many family members didn''t even know the concept of ''qi''. Hearing a detailed exnation was crucial.


    However, before the old man could speak, Lin Yuan nced at the Longshan Cultivation Method and then closed and reopened his eyes.


    "I''ve already sensed ''qi''," Lin Yuan said.


    The old man stared at him.


    Deep within the Longshan family, the current Viscount Longshan rubbed his temples. As the highest ruler of Longshan Territory, he had many responsibilities.


    From negotiating with other viscount territories to addressing the concerns of numerous subjects.


    "I wonder how Yuan is doing."


    Viscount Longshan recalled being told by Longshan Fang that Yuan wanted to cultivate.


    He had sent a fourth-level knight to instruct him. It should be finished by now.


    Just then, an elderly man hurried in.


    "Patriarch, Patriarch!"


    The elderly man, still in shock, hadn''t calmed down.


    "Oh? I was about to ask about you," Viscount Longshan''s eyes brightened, though he felt a slight chill seeing the old man''s expression.


    Could it be that Yuancked any talent for cultivation and angered the instructor?

 Chapter 308

    Chapter 308


    "Patriarch."


    The old man named Longshan Zhu had been a fourth-level knight for many years, serving as a pir of the Longshan family.


    How many fourth-level knights are there in the entire Longshan Territory?


    If not for Viscount Longshan''s personal request, Longshan Zhu wouldn''t have bothered to tutor a junior of the Longshan family.


    Yet, what he initially intended to handle casually turned into an incredible, almost dreamlike experience.


    So much so that he was still in disbelief, constantly needing to verify if he was dreaming.


    "What happened?"


    Viscount Longshan sensed something was wrong when Longshan Zhu didn''t speak.


    "Could it be that Yuan really is hopeless?"Viscount Longshan''s tone carried disappointment. The Longshan family had an extraordinary bloodline and practiced the family''s Longshan Cultivation Method.


    With Longshan Zhu''s guidance, even if Longshan Yuan was inept, he should at least be able to sense his Qi Sea within a month.


    "Hopeless?"


    Longshan Zhu was startled by Viscount Longshan''s words and quickly exined, "Patriarch, Young Master Yuan is not hopeless. He has already sensed his Qi Sea."


    "Not hopeless."


    Viscount Longshan was relieved for a moment, then his eyes widened. "You said he already sensed his Qi Sea?"


    Whether it''s the Longshan Cultivation Method or other knight cultivation methods, the first step is to sense the Qi Sea.


    This is the prerequisite for bing a first-level knight. Any being who senses their Qi Sea can use its power to transform themselves and then choose a suitable knight cultivation method.


    However, sensing the Qi Sea is difficult, testing the knight''s aptitude.


    The Longshan family allowed one month for their members to sense the Qi Sea.


    As long as they sensed the Qi Sea within this month, they had hope of bing an official knight and would receive the family''s support.


    But now?


    How long had Longshan Zhu been guiding Longshan Yuan?


    An hour?


    Or two?


    "Are you saying Yuan sensed his Qi Sea within two hours?" Viscount Longshan''s voice trembled.


    In the Longshan family''s history, since the first viscount settled in Longshan Territory, only three people had sensed their Qi Sea within two hours.


    Two of them became fifth-level great knights, leaving a significant mark in the family''s history.


    The third one, unfortunately, perished prematurely.


    The Longshan family didn''t always have a fifth-level great knight. Currently, the strongest in Longshan Territory was a fourth-level knight.


    The emergence of a fifth-level great knight would return the family to its peak, akin to the first viscount''s era,manding submission from surrounding viscounts.


    Even the empire would bestow rewards, congratting the Longshan family for producing another great knight.


    Such honors and benefits all stem from a fifth-level great knight.


    "Sensing the Qi Sea within two hours..." Longshan Zhu fell silent again.


    If it were true, he would be ted, not unsure of how to speak, tinged with a bit of trepidation.


    "Patriarch, Young Master Yuan sensed his Qi Sea in... two breaths." Longshan Zhu steadied himself and spoke with difficulty.


    In fact, he wasn''t sure if it even took two breaths. He only remembered Longshan Yuan ncing at the Longshan Cultivation Method and then iming to sense the Qi Sea.


    If Longshan Zhu hadn''t clearly felt the Qi Sea fluctuations in Longshan Yuan, he would have reprimanded him.


    "You said... two breaths?" Viscount Longshan was stunned.


    Sensing the Qi Sea in two hours was barely believable, but two breaths?


    Two breaths weren''t even enough to calm oneself, yet he sensed the Qi Sea?


    "Are you sure?"


    Viscount Longshan took a deep breath, stood up, and asked solemnly.


    He knew Longshan Zhu well, an elder who disliked joking, especially on family matters, never hiding or lying.


    But sensing the Qi Sea in two breaths was too unbelievable.


    "I''m sure."


    Longshan Zhu affirmed.


    He was certain that Longshan Yuan''s Qi Sea was sensed after meeting him and reading the Longshan Cultivation Method.


    "Sensing the Qi Sea in two breaths... Is our Longshan family really about to soar?" Viscount Longshan was initially shocked but then overjoyed.


    Sensing the Qi Sea in two hours suggested a potential fifth-level great knight.


    But sensing it in two breaths? A sixth-level legendary knight? Or a seventh-level demigod?


    In the teau of Nations, seventh-level demigods who didn''t secretly spread their faith could join any empire, gaining immense glory, even receiving praise from the gods of the Sea of Light.


    A seventh-level demigod could establish a new empire if they wished, negotiating with the gods of the Sea of Light.


    "Who else knows about this?"


    Viscount Longshan''s eyes turned deep.


    "Patriarch, only the two of us know."


    Longshan Zhu understood the gravity and spoke seriously.


    "Good."


    Viscount Longshan nodded.


    Neighboring viscounts and distant forces might tolerate a future great knight sensed in two hours.


    But two breaths? If leaked, it would be bad news.


    Viscount Longshan was sure the empire would intervene, possibly forcing Longshan Yuan to the imperial capital.


    "From now on, Yuan sensed his Qi Sea in five hours, not two breaths."


    Viscount Longshan thought for a while and seriously told Longshan Zhu.


    Sensing the Qi Sea in two hours suggested a future great knight, still somewhat eye-catching.


    Five hours was ideal, indicating potential for a fourth-level knight, without attracting too much attention.


    "Understood."


    Longshan Zhu responded immediately.


    He realized this was an unprecedented opportunity for the Longshan family. With patience, Longshan Yuan''s growth would herald the family''s rise.


    "Yuan is the hope of our Longshan family. We mustn''t let anyone threaten him," Viscount Longshan murmured.


    After leaving the family''s underground training ground, Lin Yuan sensed he was being watched.


    "Are they sending someone to protect me?" Lin Yuan thought.


    He showcased part of his talent to receive the family''s full resource support, improving his cultivation efficiency.


    This was based on his experience from eight previous transmigrations. He wasn''t worried about arousing family suspicion.


    As the pure-blooded third heir of the Longshan family, the stronger his talent, the better for the family.


    Moreover, Lin Yuan''s disyed talent was restrained, just instantly sensing the Qi Sea, which wasn''t much.


    Boom boom boom.


    Just then, the towering Dashan approached.


    "Young master, I heard you sensed your Qi Sea in five hours," Dashan asked naively.


    "Yes," Lin Yuan nodded.


    Shortly after sensing the Qi Sea, Longshan Zhu returned, repeatedly urging him not to reveal the true speed.


    Lin Yuan understood the intention and agreed.


    "Sensing the Qi Sea in five hours, young master, you must have high knight talent," Dashan said in his deep voice.


    It had taken him almost a day to sense his Qi Sea.


    "Let''s go."


    Lin Yuan said.


    "Alright."


    Dashan immediately knelt, letting Lin Yuan sit on his shoulder.


    Standing over three meters tall, Dashan resembled a small giant, with Lin Yuan on his shoulder without any sense of discord.


    "The starry sky is so beautiful," Dashan said, looking up as he ran.


    Night had fallen, and numerous deep, vast ''stars'' appeared. Even across space and time, one could sense their immense power.


    "Indeed, it is beautiful," Lin Yuan agreed.


    He recalled information about the ''stars'' above the sky.


    In this world, after reaching the seventh-rank demigod, one needed to gather faith and elevate their divine kingdom to enter the Sea of Light or the Abyss of Darkness.


    Why ''elevate the divine kingdom''?


    Because the gods'' divine kingdoms ascended to the sky, bing eternal ''stars''.


    Thus, every ''star'' Lin Yuan saw was a god''s divine kingdom, with the stronger gods corresponding to more terrifying ''stars''.


    The ''stars'' representing the twenty-four main gods exuded such a powerful aura that it shook most of the starry sky.


    Even from a vast distance, Lin Yuan felt a bit of trepidation when observing those twenty-four stars.


    By sensing the divine kingdoms of the main gods, Lin Yuan vaguely perceived their true power.


    Each main god was not weaker than Huny, a unique ninth-rank. They were close to the tenth rank.


    "The cultivation system here ces the internal world outside... This allows for rapid growth of the internal world by relying on the main world."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    In the main universe, eighth-rank beings keep their internal worlds inside, hence called internal worlds, allowing them absolute control.


    The internal world is the foundation of eighth-rank beings. Keeping it outside is too dangerous.


    But this also creates a separation from the main universe, hindering growth, hence the strenuous effort to develop multipleyers of space.


    To maximize the depth and thickness of the internal world.


    "It''s a good cultivation system. Interesting"


    Lin Yuan nodded. cing the internal world outside has many benefits, such as elerating growth and reducing personal burden.


    However, the downside is that enemies could target the ''stars'' in the sky, directly hitting the gods'' weak points.


    Both the gods'' divine kingdoms and the eighth-rank beings'' internal worlds are their core foundations. Their copse would have unimaginable consequences.


    "Dashan, do you think those stars will ever fall?" Lin Yuan asked casually.


    "Fall?"


    "Stars?"


    Dashan widened his eyes, confused.


    Each star represented a god. A star falling meant a god''s death.


    In Dashan''s understanding, gods were eternal, high above in the Sea of Light, overseeing all beings.


    Gods falling? Unthinkable.


    "Young master, how could stars fall?" Dashan said.


    He had never considered this. Since birth, he had seen the stars in the sky, unchanged for years.


    "True."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    ''But many of them will fall in the future''


    ...


    Soon, under Dashan''s running, Lin Yuan arrived home.


    His parents were already waiting, having received the news.


    In this world, one of the twenty-four main gods of the Sea of Light is the ''Net Goddess'', whose divine power constructs a magical covering the human realm.


    Any news could be transmitted through this ''magic,'' makingmunication very convenient.


    "Son, your knight talent surpasses mine. As expected of my son, Longshan Fang, hahahaha."


    Longshan Fang eximed, excited.


    Sensing the Qi Sea in five hours¡ªa clear sign of a future fourth-level knight.


    In all of Longshan Territory, there were fewer than twenty fourth-level knights. Each one was a pir of the Longshan family, the strongest deterrent against other viscount territories.


    "You have the nerve to brag?" The young woman beside him couldn''t help but say, "I remember it took you almost half a month to sense your Qi Sea."


    "Isn''t he better than me?"


    Longshan Fang was unfazed.


    Better by a bit or by a lot, still better.


    If another family member sensed the Qi Sea in five hours, Longshan Fang might mock them, but this was his son.


    He felt only pride.


    After chatting with his parents for a while, Lin Yuan returned to his training room.


    "So many Longshan Fruits?" Lin Yuan looked at the dozens of fruits.


    Longshan Fruits, produced in Longshan Territory, are spiritual fruits containing vast energy, aiding knights in training.


    When Lin Yuan first sensed the Qi Sea, Longshan Zhu had a spiritual fruit ready to help him lock onto the Qi Sea''s fluctuations with its abundant energy.


    The energy in Longshan Fruits is not only vast but also gentle. Even if not absorbed, it remains dormant in the flesh, to be absorbed slowlyter.


    Thus¡ª


    Longshan Fruits are precious. Normally, a family member receives one a month, if they have knight potential.


    But now, Lin Yuan''s training room had dozens of Longshan Fruits.


    Most Longshan family members had never seen so many in their lifetime.


    "I can''t start training yet."


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, casually picking a Longshan Fruit and eating it, feeling the gentle energy flow through his body.


    His priority was to replenish the lost essence from Longshan Yuan''s years of indulgence.

 Chapter 309

    Restoring the depleted essence energy wasn''t as simple as just consuming a lot of spiritual fruits and supplements.


    At least, not by Lin Yuan''s standards.


    But it wasn''t extremely difficult either.


    By Lin Yuan''s estimate, with the current resources, it would take three to four days to fully recover.


    Once his essence energy was restored, Lin Yuan''s cultivation speed would enter a period of rapid growth.


    However, this wasn''t really cultivation.


    It was more about systematically returning to his peak.


    "The beings of this world have an unimaginable potential hidden in their bodies," Lin Yuan thought as he sat cross-legged.


    He had noticed this when his consciousness first awakened. The original owner, Longshan Yuan, indulged in women daily, yet no matter how weak he appeared, a few days of rest would almost fully restore him. This hinted at the robustness of his physique."Potential,ing from bloodlines? Hehe, good stuff."


    Lin Yuan half-closed his eyes, carefully sensing.


    Even with a rough scan, he detected dozens of bloodlines within Longshan Yuan. Some were faint, indicating they had been diluted over many generations, but over ten of these bloodlines were of the seventh rank.


    "This is somewhat simr to the bloodline evolution families in the main universe," Lin Yuan pondered.


    The ''knight'' cultivation system in this world essentially involved tapping into the power of one''s bloodline. For instance, the Longshan Cultivation Method stimted the ''Mountain Dragon'' bloodline within the Longshan family to continuously enhance their strength.


    "Too many and too varied bloodlines. Just how promiscuous was the Longshan family''s ancestor?" Lin Yuan shook his head.


    The ''Mountain Dragon'' bloodline of the Longshan family originated from a dragon beast resembling a mountain. How this dragon beast''s bloodline was integrated into the Longshan family remained a mystery. (Yeah... a mystery... :D)


    In the main universe, bloodline evolution families typically extracted blood from special beings to create bloodline potions, which were then integrated into their own bloodline.


    But the methods used by the Longshan family and other families, including the imperial family, were unknown to him.


    So far, Lin Yuan hadn''t heard of ''bloodline potions'' in this world.


    "By tapping into their bloodline, knights in this world cultivate quickly but have very short lifespans," Lin Yuan thought.


    In the main universe, while bloodline evolution families also tapped into their bloodlines, they also practiced other evolutionary paths.


    Unlike the knights in this world, who relied solely on their bloodlines.


    This resulted in short lifespans unless they became seventh-rank demigods who ignited their divine mes. Even sixth-rank legendary knights rarely lived over a thousand years.


    Fourth and fifth-rank knights rarely lived past two hundred years.


    "It''s not just reliance on bloodlines; it''s also the world''s rules restricting them," Lin Yuan concluded.


    No matter how much one relied on bloodlines, reaching the sixth rank meant one''s life essence was at a level where living past a thousand years should be feasible.


    The only exnation was the world''s rules.


    For example, during his eighth transmigration, the supreme immortal kings in the spirit realm could live through epochs unless they died by ident, far outliving the eighth-rank evolvers in the main world.


    The same was true for this world.


    Unless they ignited their divine mes, lifespans were very short.


    "However, the lifespans of eighth-rank gods seem terrifyingly long, in stark contrast to those below the seventh rank."


    Lin Yuan nced at the sky again.


    While there was a chance that the divine mes of seventh-rank demigods could extinguish, eighth-rank gods truly lived eternally, residing in the Sea of Light or the Abyss of Darkness, overseeing the mortal realm.


    The twenty-four main gods, especially those who held dominion over certain rules, posed a threat greater than Huny, the strongest ninth-rank life form of the Tianyu n who had opened over thirty million spaceyers.


    "Take it slow."


    "This time, I have 1,110 years to stay."


    Lin Yuan wasn''t in a hurry. With the full support of the Longshan family, once he recovered some of his strength, his power would grow exponentially.


    "However."


    "This world ces great importance on bloodlines. The ancient and mysterious origins of the bloodlines in my body should yield powerful physical divine abilities."


    Lin Yuan looked forward to it.


    Physical divine abilities were unique to the martial evolution path, awakened at the sixth rank based on one''s bloodline.


    While other martial evolvers could only awaken one physical divine ability in their lifetime, Lin Yuan, with his ability to descend into other worlds through the Gate of Myriad Realms, could awaken multiple divine abilities.


    However, not all physical divine abilities were equal in strength.


    Of the three physical divine abilities Lin Yuan currently possessed¡ªBlood Rebirth, Moving Mountains, and Enhancement¡ª


    Blood Rebirth and Enhancement were very beneficial, but Moving Mountains, a pure strength ability, was somewhat less useful.


    It was weaker in both range and intensitypared to the other two.


    Given the multiple bloodline origins in his current body, Lin Yuan hoped the physical abilities he would eventually awaken here wouldn''t disappoint.


    Longshan Territory.


    Longshan City.


    Today was a significant day for the Longshan family, marking the anniversary of the founding of the Longshan family by the first viscount, establishing their absolute rule over Longshan Territory for over two thousand years.


    As the third heir of the Longshan family, Lin Yuan naturally wouldn''t miss such a grand asion.


    "Brother Yuan, the sun is so hot today... It''s making me dizzy. What should I do?" A young girl from the Longshan family, with a flushed face, leaned towards Lin Yuan.


    "The sun is hot?" Lin Yuan looked up at the sky.


    It was indeed a bit hot, but for the robust Longshan family, this was nothing. They could stand in the heat for three days and nights without issue.


    "Are you having trouble with your cultivation?" Lin Yuan nced at the girl. Her name was Longshan Ling, a distant cousin.


    To maintain the purity of their bloodline, the Longshan family often married within the family, as long as they weren''t close rtives.


    "I don''t know. I just feel very hot under the sun," Longshan Ling continued leaning on Lin Yuan, acting coquettishly.


    "I think the heat you feel isn''t from the sun but from yourself," another girl nearby couldn''t help but scoff.


    "Longshan Lan, would it kill you not to speak?" Longshan Ling red at her.


    "Heh, what''s wrong? You can speak, but I can''t? Since when did our family have such a rule?" Longshan Lan retorted.


    "If you''re tired, rest for a bit. I need to return to my training," Lin Yuan said, turning to leave.


    As the third heir of the Longshan family, after ''mending his ways'' and sensing the Qi Sea in five hours, Lin Yuan became the target of many girls in the family.


    First, Lin Yuan was quite handsome, with a more androgynous beautypared to the ruggedness of the Longshan family. Second, he was likely to be a fourth-rank knight and inherit the viscount title.


    This made him the most desirable male in the family.


    Countless eligible girls were eyeing him.


    Even those slightly older or younger than the suitable age were also interested.


    Who doesn''t like an outstanding man? Moreover, Lin Yuan wasn''t just outstanding; he was practically perfect.


    "Almost had it. Longshan Lan, you ruined my chance," Longshan Ling fumed as Lin Yuan walked away.


    "Ruined your chance? Can''t you see Brother Yuan has no interest in you?" Longshan Lan said.


    She had also pursued Lin Yuan but was directly rejected. Seeing Longshan Ling getting close to Lin Yuan, she couldn''t help but intervene.


    "I think Brother Yuan likes gentler girls. You''re all too forward; you''ll scare him," a younger girl chimed in.


    "Scare him?" Longshan Lan rolled her eyes.


    Had everyone forgotten about Longshan Yuan''s past?


    However, the girls in the Longshan family didn''t care about a man''s romantic history as long as he was strong and excellent.


    "Anyway, I still think Brother Yuan has some feelings for me. At least he didn''t reject me just now."


    Longshan Ling had a dreamy look on her face, but then she red at Longshan Lan. "Next time, if you ruin my chance again, I''ll be your enemy!"


    "Afraid of you?" Longshan Lan sneered.


    "Hmph, Brother Yuan will be a fourth-rank knight and inherit the viscount title. He will only be with a woman who can help him. My name is Longshan Yao, and my grandfather is a fourth-rank great knight. I can help Brother Yuan manage the family. I''m the most suitable for him."


    Another young girl walked over and dered.


    Her grandfather was Longshan Zhu. Although Viscount Longshan and Longshan Zhu had decided not to reveal Lin Yuan''s true talent and potential, Longshan Zhu hinted to his granddaughter to pursue Lin Yuan, knowing Lin Yuan''s real potential was far beyond what was shown.


    While he didn''t dare say Lin Yuan could be a seventh-rank demigod because the Longshan familycked detailed information about seventh-rank demigods, he was confident that Lin Yuan could at least be a sixth-rank legendary knight.


    That would mean bing a legendary knight, and if he submitted to the empire, he would at least be granted an ''earl'' title, ruling a territory several timesrger than Longshan Territory.


    Bing the wife of an earl would be a rare honor throughout the empire.


    Lin Yuan quickly returned to his training room.


    "My essence energy is almost restored. Now I can start cultivating." Lin Yuan sat cross-legged and picked up a Longshan Fruit, swallowing it.


    As for the women outside? Who cares about them? When he was an emperor in one of his previous transmigrations, he already yed with many women, that was enough for him right now.


    Maybe in the future when he will be a Strongest One, then he will consider a real partner. Right now? Cultivationes first!


    The immense energy flowed through his body and was quickly absorbed by Lin Yuan.


    "Hmm?"


    "The situation in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm is still stable. Xi Lan has not been caught by Huny yet." Lin Yuan briefly sensed through the Gate of Myriad Realms and sighed in relief.


    He had been in this world for nearly a week, and only half an hour had passed in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    In such a short time, Huny hadn''t caught up with Xi Lan, so there shouldn''t be any unexpected events for now.


    If Xi Lan dared to assure Lin Yuan that he could hold out for three years, he must be confident.


    "The Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm."


    Lin Yuan''s eyes narrowed. The calling from the core area of the secret realm still intrigued him.


    "This world should be the homnd of one of the followers of that ''Your Majesty'' from the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The follower longed to return to his homnd, even regarding its coordinates as the most precious of his treasures.


    Yet, the homnd this follower yearned for before his death was now right before Lin Yuan.


    Anpu City.


    In a dark pce, the veiled woman stood with a furrowed brow. "Longshan Yuan returned to Longshan City and became interested in cultivation, sensing the Qi Sea within five hours?"


    The veiled woman was bewildered.


    The previously unmotivated Longshan Yuan had the potential to be a fourth-rank knight?


    No, it was no longer just potential.


    Sensing the Qi Sea within five hours,bined with being the third heir of the Longshan family and receiving all the family''s resources, barring any idents, he was sure to be a fourth-rank knight.


    "What should we do now?" the fox girl below asked, equally puzzled, knowing Longshan Yuan''s past. They had spent considerable time together.


    "Longshan Yuan is now under heavy protection by the family, whichplicates matters," the veiled woman said, feeling troubled.


    If Longshan Yuan were still the same as before, even as the third heir, without the potential to be a knight, the family wouldn''t have paid much attention.


    But now?


    The veiled woman even suspected that fourth-rank knights might be secretly protecting Longshan Yuan.


    "The most important thing now is to see Longshan Yuan."


    "Talent is predetermined, but Longshan Yuan loves indulgence. If he sees you, he won''t be able to resist."


    The veiled woman looked at the fox girl. "Go to Longshan City and try to meet Longshan Yuan. Only then can we regain control over him."


    After restoring his essence energy, Lin Yuan spent most of his time cultivating.


    He only asionally visited his parents, and even Dashan rarely saw him.


    During this time, several fourth-rank knights of the Longshan family tried to guide Lin Yuan, hoping to help the family''s future star avoid detours.


    But unfortunately, this led to another shocking realization among the fourth-rank knights.


    Their guidance had no effect on Lin Yuan. It seemed he was naturally born to be a knight.


    He understood all the knight theories and techniques even before they fully exined them.


    Eventually, these fourth-rank knights gave up trying to help, realizing they couldn''t guide Lin Yuan.


    Instead, through conversations with Lin Yuan, these knights began questioning if their own paths were wrong, if the Longshan Cultivation Method was no longer the correct way.


    With the fourth-rank knights out of the way, Lin Yuan''s cultivation skyrocketed.


    With ample resources, Lin Yuan made constant progress after the initial stages.


    And so, time passed silently.


    In the blink of an eye, a hundred years had gone by.

 Chapter 310

    Longshan territory spans sixty million miles, most of which are uninhabited.


    Atop a peak thousands of feet high, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, with the space around him faintly distorted. The terrifying aura was confined within a radius of a few dozen feet. If released, it would likely sweep across hundreds of millions of miles in an instant.


    "The ''Mountain Dragon'' bloodline is the most obvious among the many bloodlines of the Longshan family and the easiest to sense."


    "So, the people of the Longshan family mainly focus on excavating the Mountain Dragon bloodline."


    "Two thousand years ago, the first Viscount of the Longshan family excavated the Mountain Dragon bloodline to the fifth rank."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts wandered as he continued to ponder.


    "But the easiest to sense doesn''t mean the strongest. Over the years, I''ve nearly dissected all my bloodlines and discovered an extremely faint one."


    "This bloodline is at least ninth-rank, possibly even a peak ninth-rank close to tenth."


    For the past century, besides regaining his strength, Lin Yuan has been studying the cultivation system of this world.The so-called knight cultivation method essentially involves tapping into the deep potential of one''s bloodline, ultimately achieving a ''return to ancestry.''


    Under the constraints of the world''s rules, even sixth-rank legendary knights rarely live beyond a thousand years. The slow cultivation method of the main universe is evidently unsuitable here.


    Excavating one''s bloodline and following the path of the ancestors to break through quickly aligns with the trend of this world.


    In the main world of human civilization, bing a fourth or fifth rank before the age of 100 is rare even in a star domain.


    But in this world, bing a fourth or fifth rank knight before the age of 100 is umon but not unheard of.


    Tapping into bloodline potential means there are almost no bottlenecks until the bloodline limit is reached. The only question is how much bloodline potential one can excavate.


    "If I want to spread the martial evolution path in this world, I must adapt it. The original cultivation method won''tpare to the native knight cultivation methods."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. The martial evolution path involvesprehending external rules, but the beings of this world have corresponding rule essences hidden deep within their bloodlines.


    Comprehending external rules can''tpare toprehending the rule essences within their bloodlines, especially under the drastically shortened lifespan constraints of this world. Lin Yuan also began studying bloodlines, adapting the martial evolution path to local conditions.


    "The faint ninth-rank bloodline within me, though thin, has been continuously purified over the years. I roughly know where ites from."


    Lin Yuan raised his right hand, revealing a seven-colored stream of light. A terrifying pressure emanated from it.


    The Seven-Colored Dragon n.


    The most powerful beings in this world, born at the beginning of creation. One of the twenty-four main gods residing in the Sea of Light is a Seven-Colored Dragon, known as the Seven-Colored Dragon God, the ultimate faith of dragon-rted bloodlines.


    Whether Rock Dragon, Mountain Dragon, or even sub-dragons, their bloodline source is the Seven-Colored Dragon n.


    "I''ve studied many knight cultivation methods, including the imperial family''s top-secret methods. With my unrivaled insight at the ninth-rank level, I''ve maintained the core of the martial evolution system while adapting it to focus on excavating internal bloodlines."


    "The adapted martial evolution path prioritizes excavating the bloodline with the greatest potential and suitability, rather than being confined to specific knight cultivation methods."


    Lin Yuan thought.


    The knight cultivation methods of this world target specific bloodlines.


    For example, the Longshan Cultivation Method only excavates the ''Mountain Dragon'' bloodline. Other bloodlines can''t be excavated using the Longshan Cultivation Method.


    But Lin Yuan''s ''localized'' martial cultivation method has no such limitation. While it may not surpass the specialized knight cultivation methods in specific aspects, it suits every knight or potential knight.


    This adaptability ensures the rapid spread of the martial cultivation method in this world.


    Of course, the ''localized'' martial cultivation method is only suitable for dissemination in this world. In the main universe, without the constraints of drastically shortened lifespans,prehending external rules is better.


    This is evident from how this world''s powerful beings need the faith of the masses to elevate their divine kingdoms.


    In the main universe, human civilization evolvers open up internal worlds without relying on external forces, leading to a further path with fewer hidden dangers.


    "However, excavating the Seven-Colored Dragon bloodline has indeed enhanced my physical strength by sixty percent. The bloodline cultivation path has its merits."


    Lin Yuan touched his chin. The sixty percent increase referred to the fundamental strength of his body, not considering various amplifications, akin to soaking in the Eternal Spring.


    Furthermore, Lin Yuan sensed that he hadn''t reached the end of excavating the Seven-Colored Dragon bloodline. The deeper he excavated, the stronger his body would be.


    "In the past century, I''ve also reopened my internal world, reaching the eighth rank. I only need to umte enough to reach the peak of the eighth rank to smoothly transition to the ninth rank."


    Lin Yuan withdrew his aura and stood up from the mountaintop.


    ording to the world''s rankingparison, the eighth rank corresponds to the divine spirits who elevate their divine kingdoms.


    Once a divine spirit elevates their divine kingdom, they must enter the Sea of Light or the Abyss of Darkness.


    ording to the agreement of the twenty-four main gods, divine spirits are not allowed to remain in the mortal world, as their presence would impact the masses, which is a cost the gods relying on the faith of the masses cannot bear.


    This means that with his current strength, Lin Yuan is virtually invincible in the mortal world.


    "Not yet. Although the gods won''t appear in the mortal world, they can still descend upon it. The most powerful twenty-four main gods are limited, so I still need to cultivate discreetly until I return to the ninth rank and fear nothing."


    Lin Yuan thought.


    This return to the eighth rank was without any suspense for Lin Yuan, the only surprise was the newly awakened physical ability.


    Elemental Body.


    It could immunize ny percent of all elemental attacks of the same rank.


    In this world, elements are the equivalent of rules in the main universe.


    Elemental attacks are rule attacks.


    For seventh, eighth, and stronger evolvers, the main method of attack is using rule power. Even the world power within internal worlds is a convergence of various rule powers.


    The same attack, with a power level of ten, but with rule augmentation, the power level could reach ten thousand or a million.


    Immunizing ny percent of rule attacks of the same rank makes Lin Yuan nearly invincible among ninth-rank evolvers.


    Unless using external power, which ninth-rank evolver could kill Lin Yuan?


    Not just kill, even injuring Lin Yuan would be an enormous challenge, especially since Lin Yuan also had the Blood Rebirth ability, instantly healing any wounds.


    The immunity of the Elemental Body to rule attacks doesn''t ovep with defensive treasures, meaning the two can bebined.


    Most importantly, this ability can grow with Lin Yuan.


    At the ninth rank, Lin Yuan can immunize ny percent of all ninth-rank rule attacks.


    At the tenth rank, he can immunize ny percent of all tenth-rank rule attacks.


    "Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous."


    Lin Yuan marveled. Combined with Blood Rebirth, this ability was the ultimate defensivebination.


    After finishing his cultivation for the day,


    Lin Yuan returned to Longshan City.


    In the Longshan family hall, several powerful knights stood guard.


    "Patriarch," a knight respectfully greeted upon seeing Lin Yuan.


    In the past hundred years, the original Viscount Longshan had long passed the title of viscount and patriarch to Lin Yuan. Despite Lin Yuan concealing his strength, he was publicly known to have reached the fourth rank over eighty years ago, making him one of the top powers in Longshan territory and the surrounding viscount territories.


    The transition of power in the family went smoothly, mainly because Lin Yuan''s strength was sufficient. Many past viscounts and patriarchs of the Longshan family hadn''t reached the fourth rank before their session.


    They had to rely on the family''s vast resources to barely reach the fourth rank after bing patriarch.


    Lin Yuan, with his absolute fourth-rank strength before session, and his potential to be a fifth-rank great knight,manded respect from the family.


    "Ling, have the family members started training with that cultivation method?" Lin Yuan asked softly from his seat on the viscount''s throne.


    The ''Ling'' he referred to was Longshan Ling, who had once fervently pursued Lin Yuan.


    Eventually realizing there was no hope, she shifted her focus to family affairs and became highly valued by Lin Yuan.


    "Patriarch, the cultivation method is working well. It doesn''t seem to be limited to specific bloodlines. Our family''s prospective knights are even discovering bloodline power other than the ''Mountain Dragon'' bloodline."


    Longshan Ling''s tone was slightly excited. She knew very well what this cultivation method meant.


    Many family members had the potential to be knights but couldn''t cultivate the Longshan Method due to their thin ''Mountain Dragon'' bloodline.


    But the method Lin Yuan gave her would automatically excavate the most suitable bloodline, not limited to ''Mountain Dragon.''


    Once this method was widespread, the number of knights in the Longshan family would surge.


    And the more knights, the stronger the Longshan family. The stronger the family, the more resources they could obtain, creating a positive cycle.


    "If that''s the case, then spread it," Lin Yuan said calmly.


    The martial cultivation method he gave to Longshan Ling was the ''localized'' martial evolution path.


    During this transmigration, besides strengthening himself, Lin Yuan hadn''t forgotten to ''spread the way''.


    Before reaching the strongest level, one needs an ultimate leap. The more beings cultivating the martial evolution path, the more it would benefit Lin Yuan.


    The beings of this world were the source of faith for the gods, and Lin Yuan wanted a share.


    There wasn''t a strict conflict between the two. Lin Yuan didn''t need the faith of the masses; he just needed them to cultivate the martial evolution path.


    "Spread it." Longshan Ling shivered inwardly. She knew the value of the method Lin Yuan gave her.


    While spreading it would significantly enhance the family''s strength, it couldn''t prevent the method from leaking out.


    Other territories'' knights would also obtain this method, leveling the ying field and diminishing the Longshan family''s advantage.


    "Don''t worry. Do as I say. There won''t be any problems."


    Lin Yuan gave Longshan Ling a reassuring look.


    His goal was to spread the localized martial evolution path as widely as possible, starting with the Longshan family and then beyond.


    As for the family being overshadowed? With Lin Yuan as the viscount, the family''s future glory would far exceed Longshan Ling''s imagination.


    "Are the people from the ''Lust'' Church still in Longshan City?" Lin Yuan asked about the second matter.


    The ''Lust'' Church was one of the demigod churches severely suppressed by the empire. Over a hundred years ago, they had fled to the vicinity of Anpu City.


    The original Longshan Yuan''s depletion of essence energy was closely linked to the ''Lust'' Church.


    Over the past century, Lin Yuan had mostly figured out that the ''Lust'' Church aimed to secretly control the Longshan family to collect faith for the ''Lust'' Mother Goddess.


    ording to the information Lin Yuan had, the ''Lust'' Mother Goddess was a powerful demigod who had escaped the Order Church''s clutches several times.


    Although the gods couldn''t directly intervene in the mortal world, powerful main gods like the Order God could descend in avatars with near-god-levelbat power.


    A century ago, the ''Lust'' Church targeted Longshan Yuan. But after Lin Yuan''s consciousness descended and he returned to Longshan City, he showed no intention of returning to Anpu City, thwarting the ''Lust'' Church''s ns.


    Reluctantly, the ''Lust'' Church sent someone to infiltrate Longshan City, hoping to reconnect with Longshan Yuan.


    Unfortunately, the charming fox girl who infiltrated Longshan City waited fifty years, aging and fading, without seeing Lin Yuan again.


    In fact, this fox girl had seen Lin Yuan several times up close, but Lin Yuan ignored her.


    Fifty yearster, the now aged fox girl left in disappointment, but the ''Lust'' Church didn''t give up on Longshan territory. They sent a young girl instead.


    This time, the ''Lust'' Church didn''t target Lin Yuan but the current heirs of the Longshan family.


    Lin Yuan immediately saw through their ns.


    For an organization like the ''Lust'' Church, which was wanted by the empire, they wouldn''t act unless necessary. Any clues would attract the Order Church''s attention.


    Realizing they couldn''t deal with Lin Yuan, the ''Lust'' Church decided to wait for him to die and then proceed with their ns.


    "Trying to oust me?"


    Lin Yuan found this amusing. In this world''s rules, even fourth and fifth-rank knights rarely lived past two hundred years.


    The ''Lust'' Church''s n wasn''t wed for ordinary knights.


    But for Lin Yuan? Even without mentioning his true lifespan, he had over a thousand years left here. Could the ''Lust'' Church oust him and face Lin Yuan at his peak, capable of ying true gods?

 Chapter 311

    Chapter 311


    Lin Yuan sat on the throne, deep in thought.


    For the past hundred years, he had intentionally allowed the ''Lust'' Church to operate, knowing that behind it stood the Mother Goddess of Lust, a formidable demigod.


    In theory, even if Lin Yuan uprooted the ''Lust'' Church from Longshan City, it would hardly provoke the Mother Goddess of Lust to act.


    But better safe than sorry.


    After all, the people of the ''Lust'' Church hiding in Longshan City wouldn''t affect Lin Yuan in any way. With the passage of time, Lin Yuan had never feared anyone.


    "It''s time to deal with the ''Lust'' Church."


    Lin Yuan had made up his mind.


    Whether it was due to the grudges of the original Longshan Yuan or the little tricks the ''Lust'' Church had yed against the Longshan family over the past century.


    Lin Yuan had no reason to let the ''Lust'' Church go.Previously, when Lin Yuan hadn''t regained enough strength, he was cautious about shing with the Mother Goddess of Lust, a demigod, as it might draw the attention of the Order Church.


    But now.


    At least in the human world, Lin Yuan was invincible. Even if the divine incarnations of the twenty-four main gods descended, they would be no match for Lin Yuan.


    Underneath Ampu City.


    Here was a luxurious pce where beautiful women in light gauze walked together.


    A short, plump man followed behind a group of people, his vast senses capturing every detail within the pce.


    "This should be thergest new stronghold established by the ''Lust'' Church, right?" The short, plump man was naturally Lin Yuan, or more urately, Lin Yuan''s Yang Spirit.


    The Martial Spirit was ever-changing, and Lin Yuan had casually transformed into this appearance.


    To deal with the insignificant ''Lust'' Church, there was no need for his true body to appear.


    "In the past hundred years, the ''Lust'' Church seems to have done well." Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    The demigod behind the ''Lust'' Church, although not a true god, had mastered some abilities rted to ''Lust,'' making people feel ecstatic.


    Using these abilities, the ''Lust'' Church had sessfully ''controlled'' some of the upper echelons of Ampu City and key members of several viscount territories around it.


    At this moment, the group of people Lin Yuan followed were some of the second-generation members of Ampu City,ing here specifically for pleasure.


    "If the demigod behind the ''Lust'' Church could gather faith and ascend to the divine throne, bing a true god, then all the lust generated by humans would be the source of her faith."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    For example, the God of War, one of the twelve main gods of the Abyss of Darkness, grew stronger the more intense the wars in the human world.


    Therefore, the God of War always tried to incite various wars among humans, while the twelve main gods of the Sea of Light were rtively peaceful. The God of Order, in particr, had to maintain order in the human world, standing in stark contrast to the God of War.


    The standard for dividing the gods of the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness was not based on good or evil, but on the type of faith and power they mastered.


    The demigod behind the ''Lust'' Church advocated for indulgence in lust, leaning towards the Abyss of Darkness.


    But whether it was the main gods of the Sea of Light or the Abyss of Darkness, all their foundations were in humanity and faith.


    If humanity disappeared and faith was cut off, the fate of these main gods would also be to fall.


    "Young masters, next, I will take you inside to enjoy true ecstasy, so I will ask for your names and identities one by one."


    A seemingly frail woman, who easily aroused a man''s protective instincts, said.


    The second-generation members of Ampu City in front of Lin Yuan all nodded in agreement, some of them already impatient, clearly not their first time here.


    Very quickly.


    The frail woman came before Lin Yuan.


    "You, young master..." The frail woman carefully examined Lin Yuan, her expression changing slightly.


    As the manager of the ''Lust'' Church, she knew almost all the young masters of Ampu City, and asking for names was just a formality.


    But now?


    The frail woman realized she didn''t recognize this short, plump man at all.


    With such a unique appearance, if she had seen him before, she would definitely remember him, not feel this unfamiliarity.


    "You, young master, who are you, and what are you here for?" The frail woman felt a sense of alertness, though her expression remained unchanged as she tried to steady Lin Yuan.


    Entering the underground pce had strict audits; following the crowd was not enough to get in.


    Lin Yuan''s sudden appearance here was definitely not simple.


    "There''s no need for you to know who I am."


    Lin Yuan grinned, showing his white teeth. "As for what I''m here for?"


    "I''m here..."


    Lin Yuan paused for a moment and then said calmly, "To kill your god!"


    As soon as he finished speaking.


    The frail woman''s head was the first to explode. Centered on Lin Yuan, the heads of all the beautiful women in the luxurious underground pce within hundreds of miles exploded.


    The second-generation members of Ampu City and the members of surrounding viscount territories who came for pleasure met the same fate.


    In less than a breath, the entire luxurious underground pce was almost devoid of life. Among them, twelve fourth-level knights and four fifth-level great knights all died.


    "Only the deepest part remains." Lin Yuan did not stop and continued walking towards the deepest part of the pce.


    There was a special divine power there, resisting Lin Yuan''s world''s power.


    In fact, with Lin Yuan''s current strength, even just a Spirit, a mere seventh-level demigod could not withstand it.


    However, in this human world, there was the ''Magic Net'' Goddess of the Sea of Light who hadid multipleyers of magics.


    If Lin Yuan''s power exploded too strongly, it would be detected by the ''Magic Net'' Goddess.


    The ''Magic Net'' Goddess was one of the twenty-four main gods, with ninth-level peak power, close to the tenth level. Before regaining his peak strength, Lin Yuan did not want to attract the attention of such a strong entity.


    Besides.


    Once the ''Magic Net'' Goddess was aware, the other twenty-three main gods would also be aware.


    The twenty-four main gods of this world, although divided into the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness camps, would stand together from the perspective of the gods and could join forces if necessary.


    The deepest hall.


    The divine envoy of the ''Lust'' Church and several high priests gathered together.


    "The youngest son of the city lord of Ampu City has beenpletely controlled by us. Once we deal with the other heirs, the entire Ampu City will be our church''s backyard."


    "And the fifth heir of the Qingluan Viscount is also under our control. In at most two hundred years, the fifty million square miles of Qingluan Viscount''s territory will also belong to our church..."


    "Two hundred years ago, those mad dogs of the Order Church drove us from the most prosperous imperial capital to this ce. One day, we will kill our way back, and our god will ascend the divine throne, bing one of the eternal stars in the sky."


    The high priests of the ''Lust'' Church spoke with excitement, all of them possessing the strength of sixth-level legendary knights, the church''s core strength.


    Over the years, the ''Lust'' Church had taken root in Ampu City, and its influence had been growing, seen by the high priests.


    Although Ampu City was far less prosperous than the imperial capital, it was much safer.


    In the imperial capital, under the Order Church''s influence, the ''Lust'' Church was like a rat in the street, always in danger of being hunted down.


    But in Ampu City, as long as they were careful and did not act directly, it was difficult to attract the attention of the Order Church.


    "It''s a pity that a hundred years ago, we failed to take Longshan Ridge. Otherwise, now, Ampu City and many surrounding territories would be ours."


    A high priest sighed.


    When the ''Lust'' Church fled to Ampu City, their initial target was Longshan Ridge.


    The ''Lust'' Church had painstakingly controlled the fourth heir of the Longshan family, nning to eliminate the then Longshan Yuan, causing an ''idental'' death.


    In at most a few decades, they could have controlled all of Longshan Ridge.


    Then, leveraging Longshan Ridge''s power to radiate outwards, the other viscount territories and Ampu City would not be able to resist.


    But unfortunately.


    Longshan Yuan, that yboy, unexpectedly turned around and became a knight genius of the Longshan family, causing all the initial investments of the ''Lust'' Church to go to waste.


    One mistake led to another, and despite the ''Lust'' Church''s efforts to win back Longshan Yuan, there was no return.


    If it weren''t for Longshan Yuan, with the ''Lust'' Church''s strength capable of stirring up storms in the imperial capital, how could it have taken nearly two hundred years and still not fully control Ampu City?


    "That Longshan Yuan, blocking our god''s path, deserves to die. When our god''s light covers Longshan Ridge, we will make him wish for death."


    A high priest said.


    The divine envoy under the statue nced at the high priests below without speaking.


    She also loathed Longshan Yuan, who had dyed the church''s precious development time.


    At this moment.


    The hall suddenly began to tremble.


    Strands of pink divine power began to boil, trying to protect the people inside the hall.


    However, under the crushing force of an unknown power, all the pink divine power rapidly evaporated.


    "What is happening?"


    "The divine power shield of our god has activated automatically?"


    "Did we just get attacked?"


    The high priests were shocked, and the divine envoy, who had remained calm, was also in disbelief.


    This hall was a crucial location for the ''Lust'' Church, a ce covered by the power of the Mother Goddess of Lust. Even facing a group of demigods, it should be able to hold out for a while.


    The Mother Goddess of Lust, even among other demigods, was undeniably a formidable force.


    But now, in just an instant, all the pink divine power had evaporated by sixty percent, which was terrifying.


    "What?"


    "The church members are all dead?"


    The divine envoy, dressed in ck gauze, seemed to realize something, her expression changing dramatically once more.


    As the divine envoy, she could sense the life force of all church members and even the faith power they generated.


    So, when everyone in the luxurious pce died from Lin Yuan''s single thought, she immediately sensed it.


    "How is this possible?"


    The divine envoy was full of disbelief. The church members in the luxurious pce exceeded one hundred thousand, including many fourth and fifth-level knights. Even facing a siege from the Order Church, they wouldn''t all die one by one. Now, how could they all die simultaneously in an instant?


    Boom.


    At this moment.


    The door to the hall suddenly exploded.


    A short, plump man walked in leisurely.


    "Who?"


    "Who is it?"


    The high priests were both angry and shocked, staring at Lin Yuan. But in the next moment, their heads exploded without any warning. Even the sixth-level legendary knights had no ability to resist.


    "Honorable demigod, what brings you here?" The divine envoy, dressed in ck gauze, calmed herself and spoke respectfully.


    To kill their way in so easily and to kill sixth-level legendary high priests like chickens, only a demigod as powerful as the Mother Goddess of Lust could do so.


    And it wasn''t just any demigod, but one at least as powerful as the Mother Goddess of Lust.


    Facing such a strong entity, even the main gods of the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness would need to descend in their divine incarnations to suppress them, let alone others.


    "Where is the god of your church?" Lin Yuan scanned the surroundings and asked directly.


    This time, he acted to eliminate the hidden danger of the ''Lust'' Church, and topletely destroy it, he needed to kill the Mother Goddess of Lust behind it.


    If the Mother Goddess of Lust didn''t die, the ''Lust'' Church could always be rebuilt.


    "I do not know the whereabouts of our god," the divine envoy in ck gauze hesitated and then continued, "but if you wish to meet our god, I can contact her for you."


    "No need."


    "Too troublesome."


    Lin Yuan looked at the divine envoy in ck gauze, his thoughts moved, and her head exploded as well.


    "Karma."


    Lin Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly. Following the threads of karma in the void, he locked onto the approximate location of the Mother Goddess of Lust.


    Lin Yuan had destroyed the ''Lust'' Church and killed arge number of her believers. Although he hadn''t interacted with her directly, there was now karma between them.


    Using this thread of karma, Lin Yuan could faintly lock onto the location of the Mother Goddess of Lust.


    Somewhere billions of miles away from the teau of Nations.


    A woman in a pink dress was heading towards the teau of Nations but suddenly stopped in her tracks.


    "Who is it? Who is ughtering my believers like this?"


    This woman was the Mother Goddess of Lust. As a demigod, as long as she wasn''t surrounded by the divine incarnations of main gods, she could stand tall without fear.


    "My painstakingly cultivated believers..." The Mother Goddess of Lust felt her heart bleed. Those extremely devout believers were not easy to cultivate.


    She could feel that the stronghold in Ampu City had been almostpletely wiped out.


    "I want to see who did this."


    The Mother Goddess of Lust followed a certain connection to receive thest images seen by her believers before they died.


    This was also an ability after establishing a faith connection. A god could easily ess everything of their believers, including viewing their memories.


    Boom, boom, boom.


    The Mother Goddess of Lust frowned slightly.


    In just a few breaths, she looked through the final moments of many believers, finding that they died without even seeing the enemy.


    "What?"


    The Mother Goddess of Lust immediately checked the final memory of the divine envoy.


    To be a divine envoy of the ''Lust'' Church, one must be extremelypatible with the Mother Goddess of Lust and could even serve as a vessel for her incarnation if necessary.


    Whoosh.


    The Mother Goddess of Lust watched the memory of the divine envoy.


    Seeing the core hall tremble, her expression became serious.


    To shake the core hall she had arranged so easily, it must be a powerful demigod.


    Finally, from the divine envoy''s perspective, she saw a short, plump man walk in.


    Then several sixth-level high priests died. After asking the divine envoy a few questions, the short, plump man killed her too.


    "This way of attacking?"


    The Mother Goddess of Lust''s eyes widened. Through the divine envoy''s perspective, she finally saw the short, plump man in action, the few dead sixth-level high priests, and the divine envoy who diedst.


    "The power of a divine kingdom!"


    "This is the power of a divine kingdom!"


    "This person is not a demigod; he is a true god!"


    "No, true gods cannot descend to the human world. Is he a main god? Overlooking mortals and gods alike?"


    The Mother Goddess of Lust was scared out of her wits. She immediately changed direction, fleeing madly away from the teau of Nations.

 Chapter 312

    "How did I, of all beings, attract the descent of a main god?"


    In the high sky, the Mother Goddess of Lust''s soul trembled. The twenty-four main gods of the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness had not intervened in countless millennia.


    The demigods who secretly spread their faith among humans were like parasites hiding in dark corners to the main gods, who periodically cleansed them.


    The Mother Goddess of Lust had evaded multiple sieges by the Order Church not because she was exceptionally powerful, but because the God of Order simply did not consider her worth noticing.


    Of course, luck also yed a part.


    "Which one of the twenty-four main gods is it?"


    The Mother Goddess of Lust maintained her frantic escape speed while barely calming her mind.


    She felt that the main god who acted wasn''t specifically targeting her but merely eliminated the Lust Church along the way.


    "Luckily, I wasn''t in the church."The Mother Goddess of Lust''s face showed a look of relief. Staying in the church and facing that short, plump man? The Mother Goddess of Lust felt she would be no different from the other church members and believers.


    "I can''t go back to the teau of Nations."


    The Mother Goddess of Lust seemed like a frightened bird. "Although the price was high, at least I survived."


    The Mother Goddess of Lust looked exhrated. "As long as I survive, I have hope of regathering faith and elevating my divine kingdom."


    In the underground pce of Ampu City.


    Lin Yuan stood under the statue and suddenly opened his eyes. "Found you."


    Through the karmic connection with the Mother Goddess of Lust, Lin Yuan had locked onto her approximate location, even from billions of miles away.


    "Not in the teau of Nations?"


    Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow. "No problem."


    As long as he could lock onto the Mother Goddess of Lust''s position through karma, it would be easy to deal with her.


    "Curse-kill."


    Lin Yuan''s expression grew slightly serious. Following the rules of karma, he traced the effect back to the cause. A terrifying power instantly crossed billions of miles.


    The technique of curse-kill was a way of utilizing karmic rules.


    To curse-kill someone, a ''medium'' was needed. This medium could be an object or the karma between the two individuals.


    Additionally, the curse-killer''s level must be at least two major tiers higher than the target. The Mother Goddess of Lust was a seventh-level demigod, and Lin Yuan''s true level was the ninth, meeting the conditions for curse-kill.


    Lastly, once a curse-kill was sessful, the curse-killer had to endure the bacsh from the karmic rules, paying with a significant amount of lifespan.


    The curse-kill technique had many restrictions and was rarely seen in the main universe''s main world, mainly due to its high cost and the fact that it wasn''t a permanent kill. The target, if talented enough, could still be ''resurrected'' by the strongest beings.


    In the high sky.


    The Mother Goddess of Lust, who had just felt lucky to survive under the hand of a main god, suddenly changed her expression dramatically.


    In her perception, an invisible, intangible force that she could not resist was descending upon her.


    "This..."


    Before the Mother Goddess of Lust could form any thoughts, her body and soul were simultaneously pulverized, permanently disappearing from this world.


    "Dead?"


    Lin Yuan sensed that his karmic connection with the Mother Goddess of Lust hadpletely vanished, confirming that she was thoroughly dead.


    If the Mother Goddess of Lust had any other means of survival, their karmic connection would still exist. Determining death through karma was a mainstream method among the strong in the main universe''s main world.


    "Hmm?"


    "The bacsh is here?"


    Lin Yuan slightly frowned, sensing that his lifespan had inexplicably shortened by a small amount.


    Approximately equivalent to a thousand years.


    "Cursing a mere seventh-level life costs me a thousand years of lifespan?" Lin Yuan shook his head slightly; it was indeed not worth it.


    Unless there was a deep-seated vendetta... but for a ninth-rank strong being, there were many ways to kill a seventh-rank being, with curse-kill being the least cost-effective.


    "A thousand years of lifespan is nothing."


    Lin Yuan didn''t care. If he were in the main world, he might regret losing a thousand years of lifespan, but in the transmigrated world?


    With the known remaining stay time being only a thousand one hundred and ten years, lifespan was the least valuable thing to Lin Yuan.


    Even with a billion years of lifespan, he would still have to return to the main world when the stay time limit was reached.


    It was for this reason that Lin Yuan used the curse-kill technique on the Mother Goddess of Lust without hesitation. The lifespan in this world was essentially free.


    "However, the eighth-level gods of this world, who are integrated with the faith of all beings, seem to have no concept of lifespan?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Under the rules of this world, fourth and fifth-level knights could hardly live past two hundred years, and sixth-level legendary knights could hardly live past a thousand years.


    A thousand years was the upper limit of lifespan in this world.


    As for seventh-level demigods? Once the divine fire was ignited, the essence of life began to change. As long as the divine fire didn''t extinguish, seventh-level demigods wouldn''t die. Normally, seventh-level demigods could easily live for tens of thousands of years.


    Although still far inferior to the seventh-rank evolvers of the main world,pared to the masses, they could be considered long-lived.


    Seventh-level demigods could easily live for tens of thousands of years, but without elevating their divine kingdom, they would still die.


    However, eighth-level true gods and ninth-level main gods, from ancient times to now, unless involved in divine wars, were never heard of dying from old age.


    "The Lust Church is resolved."


    "It''s time to return."


    Lin Yuan nced around the hall before turning to leave.


    He acted against the Lust Church partly because of Longshan Yuan''s grievances with them and partly because Longshan Ridge was the foundation of Lin Yuan''s operations in this transmigration.


    Allowing such an unstable factor like the Lust Church to remain nearby was unwise. Who knew what trouble they might cause, potentially drawing the attention of the Order Church again?


    The Order Church was a church of the main god, and Lin Yuan was reluctant to engage with main god-level entities before regaining his ninth-rank strength.


    Now that Lin Yuan had the power to resolve it, he naturally wiped out the Lust Church.


    "Clean up those corpses."


    With a thought, all the corpses and bloodstains in the pce vanished.


    If it weren''t for the fact that the pce was beneath Ampu City and any disturbance would affect the bustling city above, Lin Yuan would have made the entire pce disappear.


    "That should do it."


    "Even if someone investigates afterward, they will most likely think the Lust Church relocated."


    Lin Yuan stood at the exit of the pce, taking onest look back.


    The Lust Church had moved secretly in Ampu City but certainly left traces. Although Lin Yuan had wiped them out, an investigation would surely follow.


    But the scene was now well-prepared. Outsiders would not suspect that the entire Lust Church and its Mother Goddess had vanished from the world.


    "Magic Net."


    Lin Yuan faintly sensed the strands of power enveloping the world, belonging to the Magic Net Goddess, one of the twenty-four main gods.


    Constructing a magic covering the entire human world, the more lives using the magic, the more faith power it would provide to the Magic Net Goddess.


    In Lin Yuan''s view, the magic was not just formunication; it was the Magic Net Goddess''s ''eyes.''


    If it weren''t for the fear of the magic''s perception and the inability to use too much power, Lin Yuan wouldn''t have needed to enter the underground pce personally.


    He could have wiped out the entire Lust Church from the outside.


    Longshan City.


    Lin Yuan was chatting with his parents.


    A hundred years had passed, and Longshan Fang and his wife were still in good health, without any signs of aging, thanks to Lin Yuan secretly nurturing them with the power of the world.


    This world''s rules were harsh on lifespan, but with the power of the world, Lin Yuan was confident his parents would live to the lifespan limit.


    That is, the thousand-year lifespan that only sixth-level legendary knights could hope to reach.


    As for more? ording to this world''s rules, they would need to ignite divine fire and change their life form.


    But given Longshan Fang and his wife''s talents, that was impossible. Alternatively, they could achieve longevity by advancing to the seventh or eighth rank in martial arts like Lin Yuan.


    But that was obviously even harder.


    At this moment.


    The Yang Spirit returned to Lin Yuan in strands of yang power.


    Lin Yuan nced toward Ampu City.


    "Son, what''s wrong?" Longshan Fang asked, looking at Lin Yuan.


    "Nothing, just resolved a small issue."


    Lin Yuan replied casually. By wiping out the Lust Church, there would be no trouble in Longshan Ridge in the future, giving him peace of mind.


    After chatting with his parents for a while longer.


    Lin Yuan returned to the cultivation room.


    Whoosh.


    The Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit appeared simultaneously, sitting opposite Lin Yuan.


    Due to not having regained peak strength, Lin Yuan had not brought the mysterious gourd, and the two Spirit were still in soul form, not converted to flesh with the secret method "Illusion to Reality."


    "The current cultivation speed is still too slow. I need to quickly return to the ninth rank and then open more spaceyers."


    Lin Yuan felt pressured. In the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, he and Xi Lan were still being pursued by Huny. Although the special environment of the secret realm provided temporary safety, who knew what unexpected changes might ur?


    If possible, Lin Yuan did not want his Yang Spirit to perish. The call of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm still tempted him.


    "The transition from the eighth to the ninth rank is just a matter of umting energy. As long as I have enough energy, I can quickly return to the ninth rank."


    Lin Yuan nced at the eternal stars in the sky, which were the divine kingdoms of true gods, theoretically containing infinite energy.


    But now was not the time to stand directly against the gods.


    "It seems I''ll have to rely on those churches." Lin Yuan thought silently.


    Churches were the human representatives of the gods, spreading their faith.


    Although seventh-level demigods also established churches, they were insignificantpared to true god churches.


    True god churches had means to connect with true gods and could summon divine incarnations if necessary.


    Although divine incarnations couldn''t use the power of divine kingdoms, they far surpassed seventh-level demigods and could dominate the human world.


    However, sustaining divine incarnations required massive energy, so each true god church storedrge amounts of ''divine crystals'' to summon divine incarnations when needed.


    Topete for faith, conflicts asionally arose between the gods, even leading to battles between divine incarnations.


    Lin Yuan''s target was the ''divine crystals'' stored by the churches, extremely pure energy even more pristine than ''Taiwei Pure Crystals'' of the main world.


    "Next, I will search for ''divine crystals.''"


    With a single thought, the two Spirit understood his intention. After all, they were of one mind, sharing the same consciousness, requiring nomunication.


    The two Spirit incarnations, being soul bodies, were most suitable for this kind of action.


    In the underground pce of Ampu City.


    At this moment, members of the Order Church stood at the entrance.


    "This pce should be one of the strongholds of the Lust Cult, but for some reason, it has been abandoned."


    An Order Church bishop frowned. The Lust Cult had caused significant disturbances in the imperial capital, with many royal nobles indulging in the cult''s pleasures.


    Later, the Order Church discovered a demigod behind the Lust Cult secretly collecting faith and decisively exterminated them.


    The remnants of the Lust Cult fled the imperial capital, and the Order Church had been tracking them ever since. Recently, the activities in Ampu City had caught the Order Church''s attention.


    When the Order Church investigated, they confirmed that the Lust Cult had been active in Ampu City.


    "Bishop, we have checked. There are no clues inside the pce; it seems the cult meticulously cleared all traces." A member of the Order Church reported quietly.


    "It seems..."


    "The Lust Cult indeed retreated voluntarily."


    The Order Church bishop nodded slightly. The pce was too clean, and from the murals and ritual remnants on the walls, he determined it was a stronghold of the Lust Cult.


    "However."


    Bishop Lyon of the Order Church frowned slightly.


    All clues pointed to the Lust Cult voluntarily retreating.


    But why would the Lust Cult retreat?


    The Order Church had not discovered them yet. The Lust Cult could safely hide here and slowly develop. Why retreat suddenly?


    Bishop Lyon had dealt with the Lust Cult many times, even leading the siege against them back then.


    Therefore, Bishop Lyon had a deep understanding of the Lust Cult. It was a powerful cult that controlled beings through lust.


    During this process, it worked silently, corroding even the most steadfast wills.


    Once assimted by ''lust,'' they would provide faith to the Mother Goddess of Lust behind the cult.


    If left unchecked, the Lust Cult and the Mother Goddess of Lust would eventually be a powerful true god in the Abyss of Darkness.


    "What is it?"


    "Would the Lust Cult, like rats, not run but wait to be sieged?" Another bishop shook his head.


    "Maybe."


    Bishop Lyon pondered. Although he didn''t understand why the Lust Cult retreated so cleanly, these cults always acted unpredictably.


    "However, the Lust Cult abandoning Ampu City means they will hide elsewhere. We must explore all regions of the empire to find their new stronghold."


    Bishop Lyon ordered.

 Chapter 313

    Chapter 313


    After the entire ''Lust'' Church "withdrew," the Order Church conducted inquiries in Ampu City and the surrounding viscount territories as a formality.


    And with that, the matter was consideredpletely resolved.


    Lin Yuan''s life returned to tranquility.


    In Longshan City, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged in the center of the training ground.


    "The rules of time... The great schrs of my human civilization''s evolutionary university summarized 2,173 models of time rules based on the essence of time rules..."


    Lin Yuan pondered. Compared to nearly ten thousand spatial rule models, time rule models were much fewer, but the difficulty ofprehending thetter was far greater than the former.


    Even if oneprehended all 2,173 time rule models, it did not mean they had fullyprehended theplete time rules.


    To fullyprehend theplete time rules, one needed to discover the final step themselves.


    The 2,173 time rule models only provided a direction for evolvers toprehend time rules."Although I haven''t yet regained my ninth rank and cannot open spatialyers, I have made significant progress in understanding the rules of time..."


    Lin Yuan felt a strange sense. Over the past hundred years, he hadprehended more than a hundred time rule models, nearing a ''minor achievement'' in understanding time.


    This level of understanding required a tenth-rank evolver.


    Additionally, Lin Yuan had gained deeper insights into the rules of space.


    Comprehending theplete rules of space didn''t mean one had reached the limit in spatial rules. The rules of space were vast and endless, with different aspects.


    The spatial rulesprehended by the strongest beings werepletely different from those understood by ordinary ninth-rank evolvers.


    The master of Devil Jade Tower left behind "Interpretation of the Void," which exined the essence of spatial rules from another perspective, greatly benefiting Lin Yuan. Each viewing brought new insights.


    "Hmm?"


    "Everyone''s here?"


    Lin Yuan nced around and saw many members of the Longshan family gathered at the edge of the training ground, watching him with fervent eyes.


    Invisible and illusory forces began to gather towards Lin Yuan.


    "This world is indeed suitable for following the path of faith." Lin Yuan understood that the gathered forces came from the faith of the Longshan family members in him.


    This would be unimaginable in the main universe.


    In the main world of human civilization, some evolvers had tried to follow the path of faith but found it difficult to gather the power of faith. In this world, it was much easier.


    "Unfortunately, the power of faith relies too heavily on living beings. If they disappear or die, the gods who base their power on faith will lose their source of strength."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    Compared to the path of faith, he preferred to umte power within himself. Even spreading evolutionary paths was only to make his ultimate leap easier.


    But that didn''t mean he couldn''t cross into the twelfth rank without spreading evolutionary paths.


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts scattered as he looked at the growing number of Longshan family members.


    To better spread the martial cultivation method, Lin Yuan periodically exined the key points and essence of the martial cultivation method within the Longshan family.


    "Patriarch, that''s the patriarch."


    "The patriarch is so powerful. Just looking at him makes my heart race."


    "Of course. Our Longshan family''s patriarch is known as the number one fourth-level knight in the nearby viscount territories and is expected to be a fifth-level great knight in the future."


    The members of the Longshan family discussed excitedly. Many of them did not practice the martial cultivation method, but they came specifically to see Lin Yuan.


    Over the past century, Longshan Ridge had developed increasingly well, attracting the attention of the surrounding viscount territories. These viscount territories joined forces and sent more than ten fourth-level peak knights to Longshan City to pressure the new Viscount Longshan.


    As a result, those fourth-level peak knights were each defeated by a single punch from Lin Yuan, without any chance to fight back.


    Since then, the viscount territories had no further thoughts about Longshan Ridge. In their view, Viscount Longshan''s strength was infinitely close to that of a fifth-level great knight, making it only a matter of time before he crossed that threshold.


    The fourth-level peak knights of the viscount territories did not know that the Viscount Longshan they faced was a terrifying existenceparable to a true god.


    Time passed.


    Two hours quickly went by.


    Lin Yuan''s lecture came to an end, and the surrounding Longshan family members listened intently, as if entranced.


    Given Lin Yuan''s understanding of the essence of power, even though he wasn''t adept at teaching disciples, his descriptions and exnations of the martial cultivation method were direct and to the point.


    Even if the Longshan family members didn''t fully understand it on the spot, they would have gained some insights and could make progress after thinking it over.


    Above Longshan City.


    In a slightly twisted space.


    Several figures stood, carefully watching Lin Yuan below as he lectured.


    The three leading figures had restrained auras and were all sixth-level legendary knights, thest line of defense and the empire''s hidden strength.


    On the teau of Nations, perhaps the most powerful empires had seventh-level demigods, but most did not, with the sixth level being the upper limit.


    Seventh-level demigods generally had two choices: serve a true god or secretly spread their faith and attempt to be gods themselves.


    "Lord Fabian, the martial cultivation method was spread by that Viscount Longshan." A young man with golden hair said respectfully to the elder standing at the forefront.


    Fabian was a legend of the empire, a sixth-level peak legendary knight, and was even expected to ignite the divine fire and step into the seventh-level demigod realm.


    "In my opinion, the martial cultivation method is nothing special. While it can include most bloodlines, it can''tpare to our royal cultivation method for specific bloodlines."


    Another young man couldn''t help but speak.


    The Longshan family publicly shared the martial cultivation method, which quickly spread and even reached the imperial family.


    Fabian immediately recognized the importance of the martial cultivation method, possibly triggering a revolution in all knight cultivation methods. He brought his people to Longshan City to observe Viscount Longshan secretly.


    "You should say that our royal cultivation method can''tpare to the martial cultivation method." Fabian nced at the young man and shook his head. "This Viscount Longshan has unlimited potential and is very likely to reach the seventh level."


    With these words.


    The others were stunned.


    They had never heard Fabian give such high praise to any knight. Unlimited potential? Very likely to reach the seventh level?


    My god.


    These words came from the usually aloof Fabian?


    "You don''t believe it?"


    Fabian''s tone was calm as he continued to listen carefully to Lin Yuan''s lecture below.


    He couldn''t see through Lin Yuan''s strength or sense anything unusual, but just from Lin Yuan''s precise descriptions of the essence of power and cultivation, he felt that Viscount Longshan''s future achievements would far surpass his own.


    At least, when Fabian was Lin Yuan''s age, he only knew how to manipte power. His understanding of the essence of power was far inferior to the current Viscount Longshan.


    The higher Fabian climbed in his cultivation, the more he realized how important understanding the essence of power was.


    "Lord, it''s not that we don''t believe it; it''s just too unbelievable..."


    The others nced at each other and spoke cautiously.


    What a joke? Which seventh-level demigod didn''t have a powerful and profound bloodline? The ''Mountain Dragon'' bloodline of the Longshan family was indeed extraordinary, but its upper limit was the fifth level. Reaching the seventh-level demigod was as difficult as climbing to the heavens.


    "No matter."


    "If you don''t believe it, just wait five hundred years and see."


    Fabian said indifferently. If he dared to make such a statement, he was certain that Viscount Longshan would undoubtedly reach the sixth level within five hundred years.


    Only sixth-level legendary knights could live past five hundred years.


    "Immediately implement the martial cultivation method in our royal family. If we wait any longer, the surrounding empires will catch up."


    Fabian thought for a moment and said.


    In recent years, the imperial family had been debating how to treat the martial cultivation method. Now that Fabian had personally seen Viscount Longshan, he had reached a conclusion.


    As for blocking the spread of the martial cultivation method and keeping it exclusive to the royal family? That was unrealistic. Too many knights in the empire already knew about it, and so did other empires.


    The reason there hadn''t been much action was that they were still studying the martial cultivation method.


    "Understood."


    The other knights immediately responded.


    In the royal family, Fabian''s authority was second only to the Order Church, and he had the final say in internal decisions.


    "Also, immediately win over Viscount Longshan and elevate his title to Count. All nearby territories, including those of the viscounts, will belong to the Longshan family."


    Fabian continued after a moment of thought.


    "Yes."


    The others exchanged nces and responded immediately.


    It was clear that Fabian valued Viscount Longshan unprecedentedly. Elevating him directly to Count? There had never been such a significant promotion in the empire''s history.


    Moreover, Viscount Longshan had not yet made any notable contributions.


    It should be noted that any count in the empire could inherit their title permanently, and their control over their territory was even higher than that of the empire itself.


    "Let''s go."


    "It''s time to return."


    Fabian took onest look at Longshan City below and then led his people back to the imperial capital.


    What the sixth-level peak legendary knight Fabian didn''t know was that as soon as he left, Viscount Longshan below nced casually at the spot where Fabian had stood.


    "Quite perceptive."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Fabian and his group couldn''t escape Lin Yuan''s perception.


    Not only that, but every word they said was heard by Lin Yuan.


    Lin Yuan had long anticipated that the spread of the martial cultivation method would attract the empire''s attention.


    After all,pared to many knight cultivation methods, the martial cultivation method was too unique and couldpletely rece most knight cultivation methods.


    Originally, Lin Yuan thought the empire might take some measures, such as controlling him, the one who spread the martial cultivation method.


    But clearly, the empire''s high-ranking officials were not short-sighted. Realizing that the martial cultivation method couldn''t be suppressed, they immediately chose to join in.


    They even sought to win over and reward Lin Yuan, the one who spread the martial cultivation method.


    All these actions made Lin Yuan not hold any ill feelings towards the imperial family.


    "My two Spirit have already started infiltrating the churches." Lin Yuan nced into the distance.


    Although the teau of Nations were named ''Ten Thousand Nations,'' the number of existing empires far exceeded ten thousand.


    Lin Yuan had the two Spirit collect ''divine crystals,'' targeting the churches of distant empires.


    Even a rabbit doesn''t eat the grass near its nest. Lin Yuan''s current empire, named the ''Sn'' Empire, was thend of faith for the God of Order.


    Facing a main god-level entity, Lin Yuan was still cautious and would not easily provoke a main god.


    In a distant empire far from the ''Sn'' Empire.


    Here was thend of faith for the ''Starry Sky'' true god, and the ''Starry Sky'' Church held the highest status in this empire.


    Starry Sky Church.


    Many believers were worshipping devoutly, and strands of illusory faith power were gathering towards the statue of the Starry Sky true god and then transmitted through the statue to the true god in the Sea of Light.


    Deep in the church.


    The Pope watched the continuously forming divine crystals with a satisfied smile.


    "It seems my god is very pleased this time, bestowing so many divine crystals." The Pope was delighted.


    Divine crystals contained extremely pure energy. Besides supporting divine incarnations, they were also highly beneficial for cultivation.


    The divine crystals bestowed by the Starry Sky true god this time were enough for all strong members above the fifth level in the church to cultivate for hundreds of years.


    "If I could consume these divine crystals, perhaps I could step into the seventh level, elevate my divine kingdom, and enter the Sea of Light, existing eternally like my god?"


    The Pope stared at the divine crystals before him, a hint of greed rising in his heart.


    At this moment.


    A figure appeared silently beside the Pope.


    The figure''s face was blurred, shrouded in mysterious energy.


    "Hmm?"


    The Pope nced over without reacting immediately, then his face changed dramatically. "You are..."


    Before the Pope could finish speaking, his consciousness plunged into darkness. When he woke up, he found that the church''s divine crystals umted over a thousand years were gone.


    "Who did this?!"


    The Pope of the Starry Sky Church''s eyes were bloodshot. So many divine crystals had disappeared just like that?


    Outside the church.


    Lin Yuan''s form reconstituted.


    "Not bad." Lin Yuan nced at the number of newly acquired divine crystals and nodded slightly.


    Although the quantity wasn''t much, he had made many such acquisitions. Along the way, dozens of churches'' umted divine crystals had fallen into his hands.


    "Continue, continue."


    Lin Yuan understood the need for speed.


    He needed to gather enough divine crystals to advance to the ninth rank before the gods noticed.


    Time passed.


    In the blink of an eye, ten years went by.


    During these ten years, Lin Yuan''s two Spirit traversed half of the teau of Nations, with countless true god churches being looted by Lin Yuan.


    Of course, Lin Yuan was only interested in divine crystals, sparing the believers.


    He aimed to minimize the scope of the issue. Killing the believers and high-level church members would be a direct deration of war against the gods, which would be detrimental to his efforts to collect divine crystals.


    Longshan Ridge.


    In an underground cave.


    Lin Yuan looked at the pile of divine crystals before him.


    Taking a deep breath, he absorbed the divine crystals, which shattered and merged into his body. Instantly, his internal world began to expand, and the spatialyers grew heavier and more vast.


    Having experienced advancing to the ninth rank in the main universe''s main world.


    Lin Yuan''s re-entry into the ninth rank was smooth, with even the breakthrough movements suppressed.


    Hoo...


    A faint, indescribable aura emerged briefly.


    No one knew that in this small ce of Longshan Ridge in the Sn Empire, a being equal to the twenty-four main gods was born.

 Chapter 314

    The sky was dark, and the stars hung high.


    Lin Yuan walked out of the cave, feeling pleased.


    Returning to the ninth rank not only meant more time to develop additional spatialyers but also symbolized his qualification and confidence to roam this world fearlessly.


    Compared to the gods, Lin Yuan was unburdened by faith. As long as he remained in the human realm.


    Even the powerful main gods wouldn''t dare to make a move against Lin Yuan.


    How could they?


    With Lin Yuan''sbination of the two defensive divine abilities, "Blood Rebirth" and "Elemental Body," even if he faced an assault from all twenty-four main gods, he could hold out for a very long time.


    In fact, he might not die at all; at worst, he could be sealed.


    The ensuing ripple effects would cover at least half of the human realm, if not more.Countless lives would be lost during this time.


    For Lin Yuan, this was not a significant loss. At most, he would give up spreading his teachings in this world.


    But for the gods, these lives were the foundation of their faith.


    Before Lin Yuan''s arrival, the main gods of the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness, even if they initiated divine wars, would never let the conflicts spill over into the human realm.


    All of them relied on the faith of the masses and would not do anything to destroy their own foundations.


    But Lin Yuan was different.


    He didn''t care about the lives of the masses.


    This was also the downside of the path of faith.


    By relying on the power of faith, seventh-level demigods could more easily elevate their divine kingdoms. The seventh-rank peak evolvers in the main world had to expend great effort to develop their internal worlds.


    But in this realm, it only required gathering enough faith from the masses.


    However, sess in faith also meant failure in faith.


    The shorings of the path of faith were evident: being elevated by the masses meant being constrained by them as well.


    Of course, waging war against the twenty-four main gods was an extreme scenario. Lin Yuan wouldn''t do it unless absolutely necessary.


    But regaining his ninth-rank strength gave Lin Yuan the qualification to negotiate with the twenty-four main gods.


    Lin Yuan preferred that the twenty-four main gods never even knew of his existence before he reached his peak.


    "In these years of madly collecting divine crystals from various churches, I''ve surely caught the attention of those true gods in the Sea of Light."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    There was no other way. No matter how crazy a demigod was, they wouldn''t dare to rob the churches of true gods.


    Demigods just wanted to quietly collect faith, not stand against true gods. They weren''t that foolish.


    But Lin Yuan had no regrets. Without those divine crystals, it would have taken him at least another fifty to sixty years to regain his ninth rank.


    Moreover, the churches Lin Yuan targeted were backed by less dominant true gods. As long as he didn''t attract the attention of a main god, it was fine.


    "The number of spatialyers has exceeded two hundred thousand." Lin Yuan''s consciousness entered his internal world, sensing the fluctuations of the numerous spatialyers.


    Although the spatialyers required Lin Yuan to develop one by one, simr to realms, once a spatialyer was developed, it meantpletely mastering its mysteries.


    For example, Lin Yuan''s slightest mental will could descend into the Devil Jade space. Even without the support of the numerous spatialyers in his internal world, he could easily upy one spatialyer after another.


    "This world also has abundant depth, with the number of spatialyers exceeding a trillion."


    After reaching the ninth rank, Lin Yuan''s perception of spatialyers became clearer. He could even vaguely sense the existence of two extremely powerful spatialyers.


    Those were likely theyers where the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness resided.


    The Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness were where the gods lived, existing outside the main space.


    For countless years, many powerful demigods had tried to find out where the gods'' Sea of Light and Abyss of Darkness were located.


    Many demigods searched half the human realm without sess.


    In reality, the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness were not in the human realm at all.


    With Lin Yuan''s current perception of spatialyers, he could enter the spatialyers where the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness resided whenever he wished.


    "At my current rate of developing spatialyers, barring any idents, I should be able to reach ten millionyers before the time limit for staying here."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The Huny of the Tianyu n developed over thirty million spatialyers, but how much time and resources did he consume?


    "As long as I reach the ninth rank with ten millionyers, Huny won''t be a threat." Lin Yuan was confident. In this transmigration, he also awakened the body divine ability "Elemental Body".


    The most terrifying aspect of the "Elemental Body" was its growth potential.


    Theoretically, once Lin Yuan reached the twelfth rank, he could simrly be immune to ny percent of the strongest attacks.


    "The Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm." Through the Gate of Myriad Worlds, Lin Yuan faintly sensed his Yang Spirit in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    Xi Lan was still fleeing under Huny''s attacks, and Lin Yuan sensed that Xi Lan''s aura had weakened. This kind of weakening wasn''t physical or spiritual.


    It was a weakening of the mental will, affecting other main bodies and avatars.


    "Brother Xi Lan, hold on for another two years. Even if this avatar of yours perishes, I''ll bring the treasures back to you."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Although he had deceived Xi Lan about being a ''senior,'' as long as Xi Lan could hold on until Lin Yuan finished his transmigration.


    Lin Yuan himself was the ''senior'' and fully capable of dealing with Huny.


    The Sea of Light.


    In a vast, winding pce.


    Many true gods were gathered.


    In the Sea of Light, the twelve main gods of light were supreme, holding parts of the rules and authority.


    The rest of the gods were ranked as lower, middle, and upper gods based on their power and type of faith.


    At this moment, eighteen lower gods and one middle god were gathered here.


    "Outrageous, absolutely outrageous."


    "Someone dared to rob even the ''divine crystals'' we bestowed!"


    "It seems those evil gods in the human realm have forgotten our divine authority."


    The true gods were filled with anger. In recent years, the churches they had established had been repeatedly robbed of their umted divine crystals.


    Although their churches weren''t as strong as the main god churches, which had demigod-level forces guarding them, they weren''t so easily robbed.


    To achieve this, at least a demigod-level existence, and a very powerful one at that, was needed.


    The churches being robbed were far more than just theirs. They were simply the first to gather.


    Many more true gods were still in slumber, unaware of these events.


    "What should we do now?"


    "The one robbing the divine crystals is very cautious, leaving no clues."


    "And why would those evil gods rob divine crystals? What benefit do they gain?"


    One true god spoke with a hint of confusion. The seventh-level demigods should be gathering faith, not robbing divine crystals.


    Divine crystals were pure energy aggregates condensed over long periods in the divine kingdoms of the true gods.


    They were used to support their divine incarnations in the human realm or to maintain the operation of their divine kingdoms.


    Those demigods were already in the human realm and didn''t have divine kingdoms to support. What was the point of robbing so many divine crystals?


    "No matter the reason, openly robbing our churches is a provocation. I suggest a full-scale investigation."


    "Yes, we must find out which evil god did this. I''ll pull out his soul and burn it in my divine kingdom for ten thousand years."


    The true gods spoke coldly. Since ascending to their divine kingdoms in the Sea of Light, their dignity had not been challenged like this. When had they ever faced such humiliation?


    "I''ll have my believers and other demigods investigate this matter."


    At that moment, the only middle god present spoke. Under the constraints of the twenty-four main gods, these true gods couldn''t personally descend to the human realm.


    As for descending divine incarnations? Maintaining them required a lot of divine crystals, and such long-term investigations couldn''t be carried out by the incarnations.


    The incarnations were meant for decisive actions. For example, once the culprit behind the church robberies was found, they could descend their incarnations to suppress them directly.


    So, sending demigods to investigate was the best choice.


    Many demigods in the human realm had allied with the churches, although they only allied with the stronger ones.


    Longshan Ridge.


    In the underground training room.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    In his mind, the Gate of Myriad Worlds faintly glowed.


    A gray-green gourd slowly emerged from the Gate of Myriad Worlds, crossing endless dimensions and descending into this world.


    Additionally, a ''bell-shaped'' weapon was also transmitted through the Gate of Myriad Worlds, falling into Lin Yuan''s hands along with the gray-green gourd.


    Since he had regained his peak strength and had the ability to protect himself in this world, Lin Yuan naturally summoned the mysterious gourd.


    Absorbing the liquid in the mysterious gourd would continuously enhance the size and strength of his internal world and body.


    Moreover, it could improve the body divine ability "Blood Rebirth."


    A higher level of "Blood Rebirth" meant that Lin Yuan''s absorption of the liquid in the mysterious gourd wouldn''t start from scratch but would quickly catch up to thetest progress.


    For example, in the main universe, Lin Yuan had nearly absorbed all the green liquid in the mysterious gourd.


    In this world, Lin Yuan could reach the level ofpletely absorbing the green liquid in a short time, within half a month to a few months.


    Simrly, if Lin Yuan absorbed all the blue liquid, the sixth liquid in the gourd, in this world, then his main body in the main world could quickly reach this progress.


    The two were essentially synchronized in terms of realms.


    Besides the mysterious gourd, the ''bell-shaped'' treasure was also brought along, which was the Origin Essence Gold.


    The Origin Essence Gold had incredible growth potential but required a lot of time to nurture.


    In the main world, Lin Yuan''s cultivation speed was too fast to spend much time nurturing it, so he had to make an effort in the transmigration world.


    Bringing these two treasures into the transmigration world only consumed two strands of the Boundary-breaking Source Energy. With over a hundred strands in his possession, Lin Yuan could easily afford it.


    Time passed.


    Two or three more years went by in the blink of an eye.


    "Finally..."


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness descended into his internal world, now vast and nearly two hundred million miles in circumference.


    To be precise, it was 166,5 million miles in circumference.


    Compared to the initial ten million miles, it had increased by 16.65 times.


    This was the total increase brought by fully absorbing the green liquid.


    The mysterious gourd contained seven types of liquid, with the green being the fifth. There were still the blue and purple liquids left.


    "Blue liquid."


    Lin Yuan inverted the mysterious gourd, and a drop of blue liquid slowly gathered at the spout.


    "How is this liquid formed?" Lin Yuan carefully observed. At his current level, he could see through many spatialyers with a single nce.


    However, the essence of the blue liquid still puzzled him. Even when magnified a billion times, it remained the same blue liquid.


    There was no change.


    This was very strange. Any substance magnified a billion times would show different microscopic forms and finer structures.


    But the blue liquid seemed to have no micro or macro structure.


    It wasn''t just the blue liquid; even the red liquid at the beginning had the same property.


    "Never mind, as long as it benefits me, I''ll understand the principleter." Lin Yuan thought for a moment and began to absorb the blue liquid.


    Boom.


    As soon as the blue liquid entered his body, terrifying blue mes ignited. With the "Blood Rebirth" divine ability, Lin Yuan barely endured for a while before his body turned to ashes and reformed again.


    Unknowingly, Lin Yuan had been the head of the Longshan family for a hundred years.


    During these hundred years, the Longshan family had developed rapidly, especially twenty years ago when the Sn Empire''s royal family publicly rewarded the Longshan family, directly elevating their title to Count.


    In non-war times, elevating a title was extremely difficult. The imperial family wasn''t foolish; the more counts there were, the less power and territory they had.


    The territory of Count Longshan included several nearby viscount territories and unimednds, totaling five hundred million square miles, nearly ten times the original sixty million square miles.


    Additionally, the martial cultivation method had spread widely. With the Sn Empire being the first to implement it,


    Other surrounding empires quickly followed. After thoroughly studying the martial cultivation method, they found no hidden dangers.


    Without hidden dangers, and with a single cultivation method achieving the effects of most knight cultivation methods, why not implement it?


    Dying implementation only allowed other empires to produce more knights, affecting national power.


    Naturally, the rise of the martial cultivation method made countless strong individuals on the teau of Nations curious about its origin, Count Longshan of Longshan Ridge.


    Many demigods'' eyes were on Longshan Ridge.


    Outside Longshan Ridge, from the shadows, an emaciated old man emerged.


    This old man, with a hooked nose and sinister eyes, looked towards Longshan Ridge.


    As a demigod-level being who had ignited the divine fire, he had lived for nearly a hundred thousand years and experienced countless events. Few things could pique his interest anymore.


    "Count Longshan, full name Longshan Yuan, the spreader of the martial cultivation method. I''ve seen that martial cultivation method. Its sophistication far exceeds what a mere fourth or fifth-level knight could create."


    "This Count Longshan has a great secret!"


    The emaciated old man''s figure quickly blurred, transforming into an almost invisible shadow and sneaking into Longshan Ridge.

 Chapter 315

    The Great Hall of the Longshan Family.


    Lin Yuan was listening to a report from Longshan Ling.


    Now, all the mundane affairs of the Longshan Family were handled by his trusted subordinates, among whom Longshan Ling was one. Lin Yuan only needed to hear periodic reports to grasp the overall direction.


    This world was extraordinary, where individual power surpassed organizations. As long as Lin Yuan maintained absolute strength, he didn''t need to worry about being "marginalized" due to delegation.


    On the contrary, the members of the Longshan Family knew that their current glory was entirely due to Lin Yuan. Without him, the Longshan Family would still be a mere viscount-level force in a corner, instead of dominating the southeastern region of the empire as the Count of Longshan.


    "Patriarch, in recent years, more and more powerful individuals have been staying in Longshan City. Fourth-level knights, fifth-level great knights, and even sixth-level legendary knights have appeared in the city," Longshan Ling reported, her heart in turmoil.


    A hundred years ago, the Longshan Ridge and its surrounding areas couldn''t produce a fifth-level great knight in centuries.


    Now, they appeared frequently, along with sixth-level legendary knights? This was something Longshan Ling could hardly believe, even in his dreams. In the Sn Empire, such figures were deeply influential.


    "I understand," Lin Yuan nodded calmly.In fact, with the continuous spread of the martial cultivation method, this phenomenon would be more apparent. Those rare experts would want to understand the origin of the martial cultivation method and whether there were even more profound cultivation methods.


    People were greedy. Some could suppress their desires, while others could not.


    "What should we do?" Longshan Ling hesitated.


    "Don''t worry about them," Lin Yuan shook his head.


    With the deterrence of the Sn Empire, no one below the seventh-level demigod would dare act recklessly. The Sn Empire''s public bestowal of the Count title to the Longshan Family was equivalent to supporting them.


    As for seventh-level demigods? If they had any ideas, Lin Yuan could crush them with a thought.


    "Understood," Longshan Ling responded respectfully.


    To her, the Count of Longshan, who was about her age, inspired a near-reliance type of trust. It felt like no matter what happened, even if the sky fell, Lin Yuan could hold it up.


    Outside Longshan City


    Several hidden aurasmunicated with each other.


    "What are you old guys doing here?"


    "What you''re here for, I''m here for."


    "Hahaha, in the end, it''s all about the secret behind the Count of Longshan."


    The owners of these auras were all demigods. By the seventh level, demigods lost interest in most worldly matters. Their only obsessions were bing gods and growing stronger.


    The emergence of the martial cultivation method sparked hope in these demigods'' hearts. The method''s intricacy suggested it couldn''t have been created by mere demigods. Therefore, many demigods spected whether the Count of Longshan had stumbled upon divine fortune.


    Divine fortune referred to divine-level opportunities. To most beings, gods were immortal, but long-lived demigods knew better. Gods could die. For instance, if a god fell in divine warfare, their divine kingdom, transformed into a star, would fall from the heavens.


    If lucky enough to enter the remnants of such a star, one might obtain the deceased god''s treasures. This was why so many demigods gathered here.


    Though divine fortune couldn''t make them gods, it could reveal more secrets. If they were lucky enough to acquire a true divine artifact, they could be invincible below true gods.


    A true divine artifact could protect a demigod, helping them gather more faith and possibly raise their divine kingdom to enter the Sea of Light or the Abyss of Darkness.


    "If this Count of Longshan truly obtained divine fortune, we can split it," said a gray-robed figure, a well-known demigod.


    "Of course."


    "We''re all peers; there''s no need for conflict."


    "Agreed. Let''s promise to share the secrets of the Count of Longshan."


    Though the demigods spoke of sharing, each had their own thoughts. Secrets could be shared, but what about a true divine artifact? Only one existed; how could it be divided?


    These demigods were cunning enough not to fight now, speaking amicably without turning on each other.


    "Let''s quietly sneak in, capture the Count of Longshan, and directly read his soul," suggested a thin old man hidden in the shadows.


    "Agreed."


    "Sounds good."


    The demigods nodded.


    To them, the Count of Longshan was already a dead man. Besides the true gods in the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness, who could resist thebined attack of several demigods?


    These weren''t just any demigods; they were strong even among their kind. Lin Yuan, being targeted by them, had no chance of survival.


    "Let''s go."


    "Move in."


    The eight demigods cautiously infiltrated Longshan City.


    They were strong but not foolish, aware that many other demigods had their eyes on the Count of Longshan. No one had acted yet due to mutual apprehension.


    Even when acting, they aimed to keep things quiet, lest they attract other demigods.


    Soon, the eight demigods entered Longshan City and sneaked into the Great Hall of the Longshan Family.


    "Is that the Count of Longshan?"


    "A kid just over a hundred years old?"


    The demigods hid, observing Lin Yuan without making a move.


    They spected that Lin Yuan might have divine fortune, so they had to consider if he had any hidden cards.


    Divine fortune could contain more than just divine artifacts; it could include other means that could harm demigods even after countless years.


    Thus, the demigods were cautious.


    The closer to sess, the more they had to stay calm, amon-sense known to all demigods.


    "There shouldn''t be any issues."


    "I don''t sense any danger."


    "Right, I don''t feel any eighth-level true god aura."


    The demigods exchanged nces, disappointment showing on their faces.


    This meant the divine fortune Lin Yuan had obtained might be ordinary, without even a treasure carrying true god aura.


    But any benefit was still worth it. Havinge this far, they couldn''t leave empty-handed.


    "Wait."


    Suddenly, the thin old man in the shadows changed his expression, looking gravely at the other seven demigods.


    "What is the strength of the Count of Longshan?" he asked via spiritualmunication.


    "What strength?"


    "Fourth level, I think?"


    "No, fifth level."


    The seven demigods answered.


    After all, Lin Yuan was right in front of them; they weren''t in a rush. A sure prey wouldn''t escape.


    "Regardless of fourth or fifth level, can you sense the Count''s strength now?" The thin old man sounded uneasy.


    This question made the seven demigods'' expressions change.


    To seventh-level demigods, there was little difference between fourth, fifth, or even lower levels. But no difference didn''t mean the same.


    Yet in their perception, the Count of Longshan''s aura was so restrained he seemed like an ordinary person. This was unusual. For ordinary knights, this might suggest unfathomable depth, but for demigods, it meant something was wrong.


    "This feels off."


    The thin old man frowned. Though their divine senses didn''t warn them, something felt wrong.


    "I agree."


    "Should we retreat for now?"


    The other demigods hesitated.


    The Count of Longshan felt too strange, unsettling them.


    Just as the eight demigods were about to leave and reconsider, a gentle voice rang in their ears.


    "As guests, you should stay."


    To their horror, Lin Yuan looked at them.


    "Fuck"


    The demigods were on high alert, preparing to defend themselves.


    Lin Yuan''s words meant he had noticed them long ago.


    But how was that possible? They had been cautious, and even other demigods might not detect them. Could it be that the Count of Longshan was also a demigod?


    Before the demigods could figure it out, a terrifying force from the void crushed them.


    In the Great Hall.


    Under Lin Yuan''s gaze.


    The eight demigods were reduced to dust without resistance.


    "You thought you could kill me for my fortune?"


    Lin Yuan shook his head. He had anticipated this when he made the martial cultivation method public. Without sufficient strength, he wouldn''t have stayed in the Great Hall.


    "Is this the first time I''ve directly killed demigods?"


    Lin Yuan mused. He had killed the Mother Goddess of Lust before, but that was through a curse from billions of miles away without meeting in person.


    "Hmm?"


    "These must be demigod cores."


    Lin Yuan looked at the original positions of the demigods. After their bodies and souls turned to dust, eight round crystals fell.


    These were likely demigod cores.


    In this world, knights at the seventh level ignited divine fire to form demigod cores. When they raised their divine kingdoms, these cores would transform into god cores.


    Whether demigod or god cores, they were the absolute essence of these beings.


    Eight crystals floated before Lin Yuan, spinning.


    Each crystal was a different color, emitting different auras. For instance, the thin old man''s core was shadow-colored with a faint spatial fluctuation.


    Another, from a gray-robed figure, was gray with a toxic aura.


    Lin Yuan examined them, holding the shadowy spatial core and slightly probing it with his mind.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression changed.


    When his mind entered the demigod core, he gained the perspective of the core.


    Suddenly, the world appeared different.


    The originally rule-filled world now contained only space and shadows.


    With only these two elements, Lin Yuan''s perception became incredibly clear.


    Even in the main universe, aided by the dense spatial fluctuations of the alien battlefield, his understanding of space was still vague. But now, it was crystal clear.


    In this world''s myriad spatial and shadow mysteries, especially the countless spatialyers, everything unfolded before Lin Yuan.


    "Your insight is unparalleled. Observing the world''s fundamental rules, your understanding of space and shadows continues to rise."


    "Your insight is unparalleled. Observing the world''s fundamental rules, your understanding of space and shadows continues to rise."


    "Your insight is unparalleled. Observing the world''s fundamental rules, your understanding of space and shadows continues to rise."


    Boom.


    Inside his inner world.


    Vast, nearly 200 million miles in circumference, with spatialyers nearing 300,000.


    Moreover, the number of spatialyers was increasing by dozens daily.


    However, using the demigod core''s perspective to observe this world and its spatialyers.


    The development of spatialyers in his inner world took a fixed direction, skyrocketing.


    Dozens a day.


    Hundreds a day.


    Thousands a day.


    Boom.


    Layers of spatial development made the inner world''s earth heavier and the sky deeper.


    "This?" Lin Yuan''s eyes snapped open, exiting the perceptual insights.


    "In this world, demigods'' cores condense world rules, allowing them to perceive the most fundamental rules of the world?" Lin Yuan was astonished.


    In simple terms, this world''s demigods'' rule-based attacks relied entirely on their cores.


    Using the core''s power, they could unleash rule-based attacks.


    "This shadowy spatial core could help me develop a million spatialyers." Lin Yuan refocused.


    This wasn''t because the core contained a millionyers of spatial mysteries but because the spatial essence the core could perceive was so vast.


    Seeing and having were different.


    Lin Yuan, being a ninth-rank with Unrivale Insight, could utilize an ordinary demigod core to such an extent.


    "Unbelievable," Lin Yuan marveled, "Truly unbelievable."


    "If demigod cores are like this, what about god cores?" Lin Yuan''s eyes burned with desire and greed.


    This shadowy spatial core was dual-attribute. Of the other seven cores, two involved space.


    Threebined could add two million spatialyers.


    Since reaching the ninth rank, Lin Yuan had developed just under 300,000yers.


    Now he could directly add two millionyers?


    "Demigods?"


    "Those with spatial attributes?"


    Lin Yuan took a deep breath. Each spatial-attribute demigod core could reveal parts of space''s essence, aiding his spatial development.


    "Next, my two Spirits will focus on seeking these demigods."


    Lin Yuan decided. He didn''t necessarily wish to kill spatial demigods. If they cooperated and allowed him to sense their cores, he would only seal them until his thousand-year limit passed.


    A thousand years was nothing to a demigod''s long life.


    Time Flew By...

 Chapter 316

    Three hundred years had passed, bringing remarkable changes to Longshan Ridge.


    The Longshan Family''s territory had expanded repeatedly, upying a fifth of the Sn Empire''snd. If the legendary patriarch of the Longshan Family had not explicitly rejected the Order Church''s request to settle in theirnd, the Longshan Family might have already established the Longshan Empire.


    In the teau of Nations, the founding of any empire required permission from the gods'' churches. This was a rule set by the gods of the Sea of Light.


    However, even without establishing an empire, the influence of the Longshan Family wasparable to that of any empire.


    The legendary patriarch of the Longshan Family had been confirmed as a demigod-rank strongman a hundred years ago, bringing endless glory to the family.


    As long as a demigod didn''t oppose the church and quietly gathered faith, they could live extraordinarily well. When the pope of the Order Church first learned that the patriarch of the Longshan Family had reached the seventh-rank demigod status, he was concerned about the potential gathering of faith in the Longshan territory.


    However, after a period of observation and using the church''s unique methods to detect faith, it was confirmed that there was no trace of faith gathering in Longshan Ridge, putting the pope''s mind at ease.


    A demigod who didn''t cause trouble and had no interest in faith was a relief for the church.


    With the Order Church''s tacit approval, the Longshan Family''s development proceeded smoothly.On this day, numerous members of the Longshan Family gathered at the training ground within the family estate.


    "Today should be the day the patriarch discusses the martial cultivation method."


    "I''ve finally got a chance to see the patriarch. Such an opportunity onlyes once every ten years."


    "Our patriarch is incredibly talented. He became a seventh-rank demigod before the age of five hundred. That must be a record among the neighboring empires."


    The members of the Longshan Family spoke with pride, their voices filled with fervor.


    This wasn''t surprising. Before Longshan Yuan took over as patriarch, the Longshan Family was just a minor force huddled in the southeastern corner of the empire.


    "I heard that the pope of the Order Church has invited the patriarch to join the church multiple times and has promised to request a subordinate god position from the Order Lord."


    "A subordinate god! Being a subordinate god of a main god is a high honor, much more esteemed than those who independently ascend to godhood."


    "Too bad the patriarch hasn''t agreed yet and said he needed to think about it."


    "As expected of our patriarch. If a main god invited me to be a subordinate god, I wouldn''t need to think about it. I''dugh myself awake from dreaming."


    The family members chatted quietly, all eyes on the patriarch. As a demigod invited by a main god, the patriarch''s honor was unparalleled.


    The teau of Nations were vast, and there were quite a few demigods, but it was rare for demigods to be invited by gods.


    The Longshan patriarch not only received such an invitation, but it was also from one of the twelve main gods of the Sea of Light, making many demigods envious.


    Though bing a subordinate god meant losing freedom, it was under one of the twelve main gods of the Sea of Light. The number of true gods fluctuated, but the number of main gods was fixed at twenty-four.


    Amidst the quiet discussions, a figure suddenly appeared on the high tform at the center of the training ground.


    "The patriarch is here."


    "He''s arrived."


    The family members fell silent, their gazes fervent as they looked at the figure on the tform.


    In the Longshan Family, the Sn Empire, and even the Order Church, the patriarch was the sole ''heaven.''


    Lin Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, scanning the crowd of Longshan Family members at the edge of the training ground.


    "Three hundred years have passed," Lin Yuan thought to himself, feeling nostalgic. Over these three centuries, he asionally guided his family members in the martial cultivation method, which was part of his effort to propagate the method.


    Due to his asional guidance, the number of family members practicing the martial cultivation method had rapidly increased. Over ten thousand members had reached the third rank, over two thousand had reached the fourth rank, and more than fifty had reached the fifth rank. There was even one sixth-rank practitioner, equivalent to a legendary knight.


    This was just within the Longshan Family. Outside, even more practitioners had reached various ranks, although theycked Lin Yuan''s personal guidance. Nevertheless, the sheer number meant the martial cultivation method flourished.


    In just three hundred years, such achievements were primarily due to the ''localization'' of the martial cultivation method, focusing on tapping into the deep power of one''s bloodline. Though this approach sacrificed future potential, the early cultivation speed was remarkable.


    Spreading the martial cultivation method was one of Lin Yuan''s least significant achievements over these three centuries.


    One of Lin Yuan''s most significant achievements was reaching an astounding ny million spatialyers.


    Ny millionyers were beyond Lin Yuan''s wildest dreams before starting this transmigration. Even with unrivaled insight, numerous cosmic powers, high-rank cosmic powers, and a primordial-rank cosmic power aiding him, he had only dared to set his goal at ten millionyers within the thousand-year stay.


    Achieving this would have meant developing ten thousandyers per year, an unattainable feat for other ninth-rank powerhouses.


    However, due to the appearance of ''god cores,'' especially those with spatial attributes, Lin Yuan''s development speed skyrocketed.


    In simple terms, the ninth-rank powerhouses in the main universe needed to understand each spatialyer from scratch and slowly develop it. But Lin Yuan could use the spatialyers of this world as a temte, instantlyprehending the essence of eachyer as he developed it.


    For example, while other ninth-rank powerhouses had to derive a profound ''form'' without any direction, Lin Yuan already had the form and just needed to deduce the process, making it exponentially easier.


    "Ny million spatialyers?" Lin Yuan closed his eyes, feeling the ''immense'' power emanating from his inner world.


    In the main universe, ninth-rank powerhouses were ssified into five ranks, with ten millionyers being the peak. Ny millionyers would ce Lin Yuan among the strongest, even including unique ''special life forms'' in the main universe.


    Even considering these special life forms, whose talents were terrifying, developing ny millionyers was a monumental task.


    Moreover, Lin Yuan sensed that ny millionyers were not his limit. He still had much time left before his stay ended, allowing for further growth.


    "Unfortunately, demigod cores are no longer of much use to me," Lin Yuan shook his head.


    Over the past three hundred years, he had sought out demigods with spatial attributes, but the lower-rank cores only revealed a third of the spatial essence. The upper two-thirds were beyond their reach.


    As Lin Yuan mastered the lower third, other spatial cores became redundant.


    "God cores should help me advance further," Lin Yuan thought, looking skyward towards the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness.


    "No rush. Take it slow."


    Though current demigod cores had limited use, they were still somewhat helpful. Lin Yuan nned to fullyprehend the lower third of the spatial essence before considering gods.


    "My inner world has reached 183M miles in circumference."


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness descended into his inner world. Over the past three hundred years, he had absorbed most of the sixth liquid in the mysterious gourd¡ªthe blue liquid.


    In theory, fully absorbing the first six liquids would expand Lin Yuan''s inner world to 199.8M miles in circumference.


    "With an inner world nearly 200M miles in size and ny million spatialyers, I should be invincible at the ninth rank," Lin Yuan mused.


    Unlike the eighth rank, the ninth rank had no concept of invincibility. Ninth-rank powerhouses didn''t just rely on raw power;bat involved navigating countless spatialyers.


    For instance, in specific environments, a ninth-rank powerhouse like Xi Lan, with less than a millionyers, could evade a top-tier powerhouse like Huny, who had over thirty millionyers.


    But that was before. Now, with Lin Yuan''s inner world''s size and depth, he could suppress other ninth-rank powerhouses with ease, including Huny.


    If this wasn''t invincibility, what was?


    "Once I finish this transmigration, the predicament in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm will be nothing," Lin Yuan thought.


    However, ending the transmigration now would waste the opportunity. Though he had the world coordinates and could return, it would cost ten strands of Boundary-breaking Source Energy.


    "Time."


    In his inner world, Lin Yuan''s manifestation raised his right hand, causing time to ripple and fluctuate¡ªelerating, pausing.


    "Time pause?"


    Lin Yuan was intrigued. Over the past three hundred years, he hadprehended over two hundred time rule models, gaining some understanding of time pause.


    "Can''t maintain it for long?"


    He found that the longer he paused time, the greater the bacsh from time rules. It was like blocking a flood; the longer it was held back, the more devastating the eventual break.


    With his current foundation, he could pause time in a small area for twenty breaths. Any longer would cause irreversible damage.


    The area couldn''t contain overly powerful beings. Pausing time for a stone was different from pausing time for a ninth-rank life form.


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts returned to the present, where he saw the fervent gazes of his family members. He began his lecture on the martial cultivation method.


    After several hours, Lin Yuan concluded his teaching. The Longshan Family members were deeply engrossed as he disappeared from the training ground.


    Lin Yuan reappeared in his underground training room.


    "Over the past three hundred years, I''ve captured numerous demigods, including many from true god churches, likely causing a significant impact," Lin Yuan pondered.


    To better understand this world''s spatial essence and develop spatialyers, he had targeted true god churches'' demigods, except for the main god churches.


    This was more severe than his earlier raids on true god churches for ''divine crystals.''


    With true gods unable to intervene directly, demigods were the strongest forces of the churches. The divine avatars werest resorts, usually reserved for major conflicts.


    "No problem."


    Lin Yuan dismissed his concerns. Three hundred years ago, he had been wary of the gods of the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness, but now, with ny million spatialyers and an inner world nearing 200M miles, he was truly fearless in this world.

 Chapter 317

    "Continue opening spatialyers," Lin Yuan gathered his thoughts.


    In fact, when he had already opened up to tens of millions of spatialyers, Lin Yuan could have attempted to break through to the tenth rank.


    ording to the experiences of countless ninth-rank evolvers breaking through to the tenth rank in the main world, the threshold is met when one has opened tens of millions of spatialyers.


    However, Lin Yuan was unwilling to give up the greatest opportunity from this transmigration.


    After breaking through to the tenth rank, the internal world would continue to transform, beginning a certain degree of ''solidification''.


    At that time, it would no longer be as easy to open spatialyers as it was at the ninth rank.


    Rather than this, it would be better to open as many spatialyers as possible while at the ninth rank.


    Why did the strongest ninth-rank life form of the Tianyu tribe, Huny, open up more than thirty million spatialyers and still not want to break through to the tenth rank?


    Was he foolish? Of course not.Spatialyers are the thickness and depth of a world, a more subtle foundation beyond its apparent size.


    The more spatialyers one opens at the ninth rank, the greater the help for stepping into the tenth rank, and even the eleventh rank, transforming the internal world into an internal universe.


    This is also why Lin Yuan is currently frantically opening spatialyers.


    Opportunities must be seized.


    Additionally.


    Lin Yuan did not attempt to break through to the tenth rank because of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    The Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm does not allow entry for those at the tenth rank or above; this has been the rule since the secret realm''s inception.


    Not even the Strongest Ones can force their way in, and Lin Yuan worries that if he crosses into the world during transmigration, his mind and will might undergo a transformation, being detected by the secret realm and thus ''repelled''.


    Of course.


    This possibility is not very high.


    Lin Yuan''s will descended, even if he really broke through to the tenth rank, it would not be rted to his true self.


    The descent of his will has a ''trial and error'' function for Lin Yuan.


    But to be safe, considering various factors, Lin Yuan temporarily focuses on opening spatialyers.


    Anyway, with his current umtion, he can break through to the tenth rank whenever he wants, there is no need to rush.


    Those ninth-rank peak powerhouses who have just opened millions of spatialyers are eager to break through to the tenth rank because their lifespans are nearing the end.


    They have no other choice but to do so.


    Lin Yuan''s lifespan is still ample, there is no need to rush.


    "Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm," Lin Yuan once again used the Gate of Myriad Realms to perceive the situation on the other side of the Yang Primordial Spirit.


    "Brother Xi Lan''s aura has already weakened by nearly a quarter," Lin Yuan knew, understanding that Xi Lan could still hold on for a while longer.


    As for the damage caused to the main body and avatar by burning mind and will? It''s not irreparable, at worst, after Lin Yuan finishes the transmigration, he can give Xi Lan some opportunities once he returns to the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    Lin Yuan can foresee that after this transmigration ends, with his strength, he should be able to sweep away all ninth-rank powerhouses in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    By then, all the resources within the secret realm will be his to take.


    In fact, Lin Yuan doesn''t need toplete the entire transmigration, he can now sweep through the entire Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm if he returns.


    The Sea of Light.


    Hundreds of true gods sat in a spacious hall.


    The long-term abduction of arge number of demigods by Lin Yuan''s two primordial spirits hadpletely enraged the gods of the Sea of Light, especially after arge number of divine crystals were looted three hundred years ago.


    Old grudges and new hatreds made the gods gnash their teeth in anger.


    "My most devout believer, the seventh-rank demigod Yin Mosi, has been missing for more than two hundred years. I can sense that they are still alive, but I don''t know where they are."


    A true god with a single horn scanned the surrounding true gods and spoke.


    "My two demigod believers are the same. Who could possibly iste our senses?" another true god with white wings said.


    "My believers are the same."


    "Isting our senses, could it be that they fell into another divine kingdom?"


    "Was it the gods of the Abyss of Darkness?"


    "No, the Abyss of Darkness also has a main god constraint, they wouldn''t do such a thing."


    Hundreds of true gods continued to discuss, finally concluding that their believers were likely in another divine kingdom, otherwise, it would be impossible to iste the gods'' senses.


    However, this divine kingdom might not belong to a living god, but to a remnant divine kingdom of a fallen god from the distant past, which also had simr abilities.


    "In other words, someone abducted our demigod believers and hid them in a remnant divine kingdom?"


    "What is the purpose of this? Why not just kill them? Just doing this for no reason?"


    The true gods were puzzled, although this conclusion was incredible, there was no other exnation for what they had experienced.


    "A group of powerful demigods in the mortal world, who identally obtained a divine opportunity and a remnant divine kingdom, then started targeting our church''s demigods, abducting them for some purpose, and cing them in that remnant divine kingdom?"


    Soon, a true god spected the cause of the matter.


    Although there were still many inexplicable elements, the gist of it was clear.


    "So, what should we do now? Where exactly are our demigod believers, and who is the culprit behind all this? Is there any clue?"


    A true god asked.


    "Don''t worry."


    At this moment, a true god sitting at the head of the hall spoke.


    He was a high god, one of the highest-ranking gods below the main gods. He scanned the hall and slowly said, "I already sent the aura of your believers to the God of Divination a hundred years ago, asking him to deduce thest ce the aura existed."


    Upon hearing this.


    The gods in the hall were reassured.


    The God of Divination is one of the twelve main gods of the Sea of Light.


    The God of Divination possesses a very special ability: prophecy and divination.


    The God of Divination can merge with the heavens and earth, observing the changes and evolutions of all things from a special perspective.


    Simply put, as long as the God of Divination is willing to pay the price, he can know anything in the world.


    However, asking the God of Divination to take action requires a huge price. If it weren''t for the severe loss of their demigod believers, the high god wouldn''t have asked for his help.


    "The God of Divination told me that he would give us the result during this time," the high god sitting at the head of the hall slowly said.


    "Good."


    "Then let''s wait."


    "We can share some of the cost for asking the God of Divination."


    The gods looked at each other and spoke one after another.


    Hearing this, the high god''s expression improved slightly.


    Time passed slowly.


    Several months went by in the blink of an eye.


    The expression of the high god sitting at the head of the hall suddenly changed.


    Seeing this, the other true gods turned their eyes towards him.


    Momentster.


    The high god''s expression gradually returned to normal.


    Then he looked at the gods and slowly said, "The God of Divination has given the result."


    "As expected of the God of Divination."


    "This is the source of the aura that we couldn''t find no matter what!"


    "Where is thest ce the auras of our demigod believers disappeared?"


    The gods looked expectantly at the high god.


    "The God of Divination said that the ce where all the believers'' aurasst disappeared is located in the Longshan Range of the Sn Empire on the teau of Nations."


    The high god directly said.


    "Sn Empire, that''s the territory of the God of Order."


    "Longshan Range? I remember, the lord of Longshan Range has good qualifications and talent. It''s spected that he might have obtained divine opportunity."


    "Divine opportunity? I understand, the culprit who abducted our demigod believers is the lord of Longshan Range. This matches our previous spection that all the believers were hidden in a remnant divine kingdom."


    "The lord of Longshan Range, the patriarch of the Longshan family, a demigod under five hundred years old, he truly deserves death for daring to act against us in secret."


    "If it weren''t for the God of Divination, we would still be in the dark. This patriarch of the Longshan family truly deserves death."


    The gods spoke angrily but did not act rashly.


    After all, Longshan Range was within the territory of the Church of Order, which was under the God of Order.


    Without knowing whether this matter involved the God of Order or whether he was aware of it, the gods, despite their anger, had to remain rational.


    "Let''s go."


    "We should descend with divine power incarnations to Longshan Range and see if the great God of Order will address this matter."


    "Yes, the great God of Order upholds order, and the actions of the patriarch of the Longshan family are equivalent to creating chaos. I don''t believe the God of Order is aware of this."


    The gods looked at each other and quickly made a decision.


    The twelve main gods of the Sea of Light are highly revered, and the God of Order is no exception. With his rank, how could he care about those demigods in the mortal world?


    This matter was likely done by the patriarch of the Longshan family and had nothing to do with the God of Order.


    But no matter what, the people of the Longshan family were in the territory of the Church of Order. Even if they were justified, they had to inform the God of Order.


    "I have had contact with the Pope of the Church of Order in the Sn Empire. Let me first ask him if he knows about this."


    A true god spoke, immediately sending a wisp of divine power to make contact.


    Any pope of a true god''s church has an extremely special connection with the true god, often being direct descendants.


    The pope of a main god''s church, such as the Church of Order, is directly an incarnation of a subordinate god of the God of Order.


    Only in this way can the entire church be better controlled.


    Although the subordinate gods do not have freedom, they are still gods. Being in the Sea of Light, it was quite normal for the true gods to have contact with each other.


    "Let''s go now."


    "To Longshan Range to demand an exnation."


    Hundreds of true gods in the hall, one after another, descended with divine power incarnations, heading towards Longshan Range in the Sn Empire.


    Sn Empire.


    Church of Order.


    The Pope suddenly opened his eyes.


    "The patriarch of the Longshan family is the culprit behind the abduction of many church demigod powerhouses over the past few hundred years?"


    "And now arge number of divine power incarnations of true gods areing this way?"


    The Pope of Order frowned. His true form was a god in the Sea of Light, tasked by the God of Order to manage the church in the mortal world.


    The God of Order''s task for him, besides managing the church well, was to find demigods with enough potential to lead to the Sea of Light and be subordinate gods of the main god.


    Over the years, the Pope of Order''s most favored candidate was the patriarch of the Longshan family.


    The patriarch was young, had great potential, and showed little interest in faith, making him a prime target for the Pope of Order''s recruitment efforts.


    And over the years, the Pope had been working towards this goal.


    "Ridiculous!"


    "So many true gods, without regard for face, descending with divine power incarnations, this is absurd!" The Pope of Order immediately got up and headed to Longshan Range.


    He was also uncertain. If the true gods dared to make such a big move, they must have evidence. If this matter esctes, it would not bode well for Longshan Yuan.


    The God of Order values order, and order includes both rewards and punishments.


    If Lin Yuan is indeed the culprit behind the disappearance of many church demigod powerhouses over the past few hundred years, the God of Order will certainly act ording to the rules, showing no favoritism.


    Cold and impartial are words that describe the God of Order.


    "I absolutely cannot let Longshan Yuan meet those gods." The Pope of Order decided to protect Lin Yuan.


    As long as the two sides did not meet and confront each other, there would be room for negotiation, and it would be easier to exin to the main godter.


    Whoosh.


    In the blink of an eye, the Pope of Order arrived at Longshan Range.


    "I want to see the patriarch of the Longshan family." The Pope of Order went straight to the front of the Longshan Hall.


    "See the patriarch?" Longshan Ling and several others immediately stepped forward to greet him. They also knew the Pope of Order''s identity and status, not daring to show any neglect.


    "Yes."


    "The patriarch of the Longshan family is suspected of being involved in the disappearance of demigods over the past few hundred years. Now, many true gods have descended with divine power incarnations,ing to demand an exnation from the patriarch."


    The Pope of Order briefly exined the situation.


    "What?"


    "Your Holiness, there must be some misunderstanding."


    Longshan Ling and the others trembled. Hundreds of divine power incarnations of true gods? Those are divine power incarnations of true gods. Even a hint of their aura could sweep through Longshan Range.


    Longshan Ling and the others quickly realized that the true gods were willing toe and demand an exnation, likely out of respect for the Church of Order.


    Otherwise, with the domineering nature of the true gods, they would have directly wiped out Longshan Range instead of demanding an exnation.


    "The most important thing now is to get the patriarch into our church to hide before those true gods arrive."


    The Pope of Order quickly said.


    The true gods might dare toe to Longshan Range to demand an exnation, but they definitely wouldn''t dare to do so in front of the Church of Order.


    That would be the God of Order''s authority.


    "Right."


    "Let''s ask the church to hide."


    Longshan Ling and the others immediately found their backbone.


    They quickly led the Pope of Order into the Longshan Hall, arriving at the door of the training room.


    "Patriarch, something big has happened."


    Longshan Ling immediately used themunication method to contact Lin Yuan, who was in seclusion.


    "Hmm?"


    Inside the training room, Lin Yuan silently opened his eyes.


    Rustle.


    The door opened.


    Lin Yuan walked out calmly.


    "Patriarch."


    Longshan Ling quickly exined the situation.


    "Patriarch, you need to go to the church to hide quickly." Longshan Ling said anxiously.


    No matter how much she admired her patriarch, she didn''t believe Lin Yuan could survive in front of the divine power incarnations of hundreds of true gods.


    Faced with a life-and-death crisis for the pir of the Longshan family, how could Longshan Ling not be anxious and panic?


    "Patriarch of the Longshan family, as long as you hide in the church, I guarantee those gods won''t dare to act recklessly." The Pope of Order also hurriedly said.


    "Hide?"


    Lin Yuan''s gaze was calm and distant as he walked out of the Longshan Hall, looking towards the end of the sky.


    Faintly, terrifying and majestic auras were rapidly approaching from a distance, like a mighty heavenly power descending.


    "I..."


    Lin Yuan raised his right hand, his sleeve fluttering, and gently grabbed forward. When he retracted it, his palm inexplicably held hundreds of ''subatomic'' figures.


    "Why do I need to hide? In this world, no one can make me submit."

 Chapter 318

    The world was vast and boundless.


    Hundreds of powerful figures rushed towards Longshan Ridge.


    As embodiments of divine power descending from the Sea of Light, each figure on the scene represented a true god.


    Even though they were just avatars, their strength far surpassed the peak of demigods, nearing the rank of eighth-rank true gods.


    Especially the dozen or so figures at the forefront, who were avatars of higher gods, their aura fluctuations reaching the threshold of true gods.


    Even at the same rank of eighth-rank true gods, their strength varied greatly, depending on the rules their divine personas controlled and the purity of their divine power.


    Of course, the most important factor was the amount of faith they gathered.


    Faith was the foundation of every true god. With the power of the masses, a seventh-rank demigod could gather divine kingdoms and elevate them.


    In the distant past, divine wars broke out, with true gods from the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness fighting, fundamentally for faith."Wait a moment."


    After flying for a while, the hundreds of divine avatars sensed something amiss.


    Especially those avatars of higher gods; they frowned and kept examining their surroundings.


    As true gods, their realms were beyond ordinary. Even as avatars of divine power, they had a keen sense of space. At this moment, some true gods felt something.


    "The space has changed."


    "The human world''s space is not like this."


    "Indeed, I feel it''s strange too."


    "Could it be that we are not in the human world?"


    "Impossible. The ''anchor points'' of the divine avatars are in various churches of the human world. How could it not be the human world?"


    The true gods quicklymunicated with each other, looking at the environment around them, feeling unprecedentedly unfamiliar.


    "Stop arguing."


    A higher god thought for a moment and then spoke, "At our speed, we should have reached Longshan Ridge by now, but where is Longshan Ridge?"


    Upon hearing this, all the other true gods became serious.


    Indeed.


    The speed of true gods was incredibly fast. Even though the teau of Nations was vast, a group of true gods flying for such a long time should have reached it.


    The flight of true gods was not just physical flight but a ''shift'' thatpressed spatial distances.


    "What does this mean?"


    "Has Longshan Ridge been moved?"


    Some true gods hadn''t realized yet; mostly lower gods whocked much perception of spatial essence.


    "It''s not Longshan Ridge that was moved."


    "We have been moved."


    "Somehow, without us noticing, we were moved into a sealed space."


    A higher god voiced their suspicion.


    Although this suspicion seemed incredible, moving so many true gods in front of each other seemed like a fantasy.


    But aside from this possibility, the higher god couldn''t think of any other exnation.


    "If you don''t believe it, you can try to return to the Sea of Light."


    The higher god nced at the other gods who were filled with disbelief and added.


    The Sea of Light was not in any part of the human world but in another spatialyer.


    Therefore, no matter how much the demigods of the human world searched, they could not find the Sea of Light or the Abyss of Darkness where the gods resided.


    For demigods, the Sea of Light might seem far away, but for the true gods present, it was within reach.


    With their true selves as ''coordinates,'' the many avatars of divine power could easily locate the spatialyer of the Sea of Light.


    They only needed to break through the space to enter.


    "I don''t believe it. Is there a stronger being in the human world who could easily move us?"


    "Right, I will now return to the Sea of Light."


    "Except for the great main god, it''s absolutely impossible for anyone to move us all at once!"


    A significant portion of the divine avatars immediately broke through space, intending to enter the Sea of Light and reunite with their true selves.


    However.


    The space indeed broke open.


    But momentster.


    All the divine avatars reappeared in the main space with pale faces.


    From their attempts, these divine avatars shockingly discovered that while they could vaguely sense the location of the Sea of Light, they couldn''t reach it.


    It was as if an invisible barrier separated the two.


    Or, all their divine avatars were trapped in a spatial cage.


    This spection made the divine avatars look grim, even with a hint of fear.


    If the spection was true, then who could be capable of this act? The main god? Would the main god be so bored to specifically tease them?


    If not the main god, then who?


    Outside the Longshan Hall.


    Under the watchful eyes of the Order Pope and several core members of the Longshan family, Lin Yuan stretched his right hand towards the void, and in his palm appeared hundreds of figures resembling headless flies.


    "Patriarch, if what the pope said is true, and many divine avatars are about to descend, hiding in the Order Church is the most urgent matter."


    "Patriarch, the disappearance of many demigods is full of doubts. We should focus on preserving ourselves now."


    The core members of the Longshan family continued to persuade.


    They knew how important Lin Yuan was to the Longshan family. Anyone else could have an incident, even the family could be destroyed.


    But nothing must happen to Lin Yuan. With him, the Longshan family could be rebuilt in an instant, but without him, even if everyone survived, they would be divided by other forces.


    As for Lin Yuan''s earlier statement, ''Why do I need to hide?'', the core members interpreted it as denying any involvement in the disappearance of the demigods.


    But now, whether Lin Yuan did it or not was no longer relevant. With so many divine avatars descending, there was a real risk they might identally kill Lin Yuan.


    The core members of the Longshan family also noticed the hundreds of figures in Lin Yuan''s palm but didn''t pay much attention. The priority was to hide in the Order Church before those divine avatars arrived.


    Only the great Order god could deter those divine avatars.


    The Order Pope beside them was also anxious. The descent of hundreds of divine avatars was a pressure even for him.


    Although, as an affiliated god of the Order, he was confident those divine avatars wouldn''t dare to attack him.


    But Lin Yuan.


    Firstly, Lin Yuan wasn''t a believer of the Order god. If he was indeed involved in the demigods'' disappearance, the Order Pope had no reason to protect him.


    Only by entering the Order Church could they leverage the Order god''s unchallengeable authority to fend off the divine avatars.


    "Patriarch Longshan, there''s no time to lose," the Order Pope looked at Lin Yuan, already considering forcibly taking him into the church.


    Lin Yuan''s public strength was that of a demigod, but the Order Pope, a true god of the Sea of Light, was a little stronger than a lower god.


    Even though his current body was just a vessel in the human world, forcibly taking a demigod was no problem.


    "Patriarch Longshan, forgive me."


    The Order Pope took a deep breath. Before acting, he nced at Lin Yuan''s right hand.


    "Huh?"


    He nced again.


    And a third time.


    A fourth.


    A fifth.


    Finally, he stared at Lin Yuan''s right palm.


    Inside the palm, hundreds of figures resembling headless flies scrambled but never escaped the confines of the hand.


    To a demigod, this was not strange. Catching flies and trapping them in the palm was simple.


    But the Order Pope was sweating.


    If Lin Yuan''s palm was magnified billions of times, and the figures within magnified billions of times, it would be evident that these figures were powerful divine avatars, far surpassing demigods.


    "Divine avatars?"


    The Order Pope felt absurd.


    Divine avatars were the extension of a true god''s will, even those of lower gods nearing the eighth-rank true god''s threshold.


    But now, these divine avatars struggled like ants in Lin Yuan''s palm?


    How could that be?


    "Something''s wrong."


    The Order Pope looked to the sky.


    Just before, precisely when Lin Yuan raised his hand and those figures appeared in his palm, he had felt the terrifying auras rapidly approaching Longshan Ridge.


    They must have been those divine avatars seeking retribution.


    But now, all those auras had vanished.


    The Order Pope initially thought those divine avatars had restrained their auras out of fear of the Order Church.


    But now, staring at the struggling figures in Lin Yuan''s palm and the sudden disappearance of those divine auras, a terrifying thought surfaced in his mind.


    Simultaneously.


    In the Sea of Light, the true form of the Order Pope began contacting the gods seeking retribution.


    These divine avatars, although trapped in Lin Yuan''s palm, their true forms were free, albeit in chaos.


    "All divine avatars are trapped in an unknown, vast space, unable to escape or return to the Sea of Light."


    "Some gods wonder if the main god of the Abyss of Darkness acted."


    The Order Pope swallowed, still staring at Lin Yuan''s palm.


    Trapped in an unknown, vast space?


    Could it be the patriarch''s palm?


    The Order Pope''s heart surged with waves, unable to maintain a calm facade.


    It was unbelievable.


    The patriarch, a mere demigod, just by raising and retracting his right hand, trapped hundreds of divine avatars?


    This wasn''t something a true god could do. Even the strongest higher god couldn''t perform such feats.


    This was a main god''s domain.


    Even the Order Pope felt that while killing hundreds of divine avatars might not be difficult for a ninth-rank main god, manipting them in such a manner might not be easy for a non-space-specialized main god.


    Defeating and killing were different matters.


    Killing and manipting were also different.


    "Patriarch Longshan, you¡­you¡­" The Order Pope''s voice trembled, looking at Lin Yuan''s back, eyes reflecting spatialplexities.


    "It''s over."


    "The divine avatars won''te."


    Lin Yuan nced at the Order Pope, then at the confused core members of the Longshan family.


    He then raised his right hand slightly, bringing his face closer to his palm, and gently inhaled.


    Within the palm world.


    After initial panic and disorder, the hundreds of divine avatars tried to unite, hoping to break the cage and return to the human world.


    Space had limits, even the vast human world could be torn apart by divine battles.


    They thought this spatial cage might be simr.


    Hundreds of divine avatars, united, could release power reaching higher god ranks.


    Even if they couldn''t break the cage, they could shake it, which would be their chance.


    But after numerous attempts, tearing through millions ofyers of spatial cage, they still couldn''t see the end.


    "Such a heavy spatial cage, which main god of the Abyss of Darkness did this?"


    A divine avatar couldn''t help but speak. Initially, they didn''t think it was a main god''s doing, as they wouldn''t be so idle.


    But with continued probing and understanding of the space, their horror grew. Besides a main god, who else could create such a cage?


    "What now?"


    "Ask our main god of the Sea of Light for help?"


    The divine avatars were helpless.


    Suddenly.


    In the sky above, a face upying half the sky appeared.


    An eye on the face was asrge as the sun, causing the divine avatars'' souls to tremble even without releasing any aura.


    Before the divine avatars could react, the immense face lightly inhaled.


    A terrifying force filled every inch of space, causing all divine avatars to disintegrate instantly, not even a higher god''s avatarsting a second.


    Divine avatars, made of pure divine power, reverted to pure energy, flooding into the mouth of the immense face.


    Outside.


    Lin Yuan devoured all the divine avatars. Given his current power, the energy they contained was merely a snack, hardly a dessert, just a taste.


    "It''s over."


    Lin Yuan patted his right hand, ncing at the stiff Order Pope and the still confused core members of the Longshan family.


    "There''s no danger now."


    "Do what you need to do."


    With that, Lin Yuan walked into the Longshan Hall. Handling hundreds of divine avatars was no difficulty for him.


    As a ninth rank who had opened ny millionyers of space, Lin Yuan''s spatial expertise was unmatched, even tenth-rank powerhouses of the main world might not dare im superiority. Especially not in this world.


    "Patriarch¡­"


    The core members of the Longshan family blinked, still not processing. What did he mean by no danger? Weren''t there many divine avatars seeking retribution?


    "Pope, what''s going on?"


    Longshan Ling looked at the Order Pope, still anxious.


    ...

 Chapter 319

    "Yes, Pope, what is going on?"


    The other members of the Longshan family were also confused.


    They had absolute trust in Lin Yuan, but just now, hundreds of divine avatars were about to arrive, and the destruction of the Longshan family seemed imminent.


    Now there was no danger?


    The change was too quick.


    "What is going on?"


    The Order Pope remained silent.


    He kept reying the scene in his mind where Lin Yuan lightly inhaled, causing all the figures in his palm to copse and be absorbed into his mouth.


    It must be noted, those figures were divine avatars. Some of them were avatars of higher gods, not weaker than ordinary true gods.Yet they ended up like this.


    The Order Pope was trembling internally, even feeling fortunate that he hadn''t acted earlier. Otherwise, he might not be dead, but he would have been easily swept aside by Lin Yuan.


    "How could the patriarch of Longshan be so powerful?" The Order Pope looked up at the sky.


    Those stars hanging there represented the divine kingdoms of gods from the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness.


    The number of gods was limited, so the divine kingdoms were also limited, and the stars in the sky were finite.


    In this world, some demigods cautiously and secretly collected faith, perhaps evading the gods'' perception.


    But if one stepped further and achieved true godhood, elevating their divine kingdom, it couldn''t be hidden.


    The divine kingdom was too conspicuous, transforming into a star and hanging in the sky. The number was fixed, and any addition would attract the gods'' attention.


    However, in the past few centuries, or even a thousand years, there had been no new stars in the sky.


    This meant no new gods had been born.


    From this, it could be inferred that the patriarch of Longshan had not yet be a god, at least had not elevated a divine kingdom.


    But without a divine kingdom, without the power of a divine kingdom, how could the patriarch of Longshan be so strong?


    The Order Pope felt his understanding shattering. How could the patriarch of Longshan, who was not a god, kill gods as if they were ants?


    The Order Pope calmed himself, collected his thoughts, and looked at the puzzled Longshan Ling and other core members of the Longshan family.


    "The patriarch of Longshan is right."


    "There is no longer any danger."


    The Order Pope said with difficulty.


    Danger?


    All the danger had been consumed by the patriarch of Longshan.


    "What?"


    "Really no danger?"


    Longshan Ling and the others breathed a sigh of relief but grew even more curious.


    "Those divine avatars have all been dealt with by the patriarch of Longshan. Those figures in the patriarch''s palm were the divine avatars."


    The Order Pope remained silent for a moment, then patiently exined.


    He had a premonition that after today, the name of the patriarch of Longshan would resound throughout the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness.


    "Those things were divine avatars?"


    Longshan Ling and the others were dumbfounded. "Divine avatars are that weak?"


    They quickly realized.


    It wasn''t that the divine avatars were weak, but that their patriarch was too strong. Compared to their patriarch, the powerful divine avatars seemed weak and insignificant.


    "I''m leaving now."


    The Order Pope took onest deep look at the Longshan Hall and then turned to leave.


    What he had witnessed was too unbelievable, and he needed to report it to the Order god immediately.


    Actually, there was no need for him to report it. This matter couldn''t be concealed. The true gods whose avatars were swallowed by Lin Yuan were already in an uproar.


    This matter would spread among the gods at a terrifying speed, not limited to the Sea of Light.


    Sea of Light.


    In the winding pce.


    Hundreds of true gods looked at each other, their hearts overflowing with shock.


    "My divine avatar is dead."


    "Mine too, I can''t sense it anymore."


    "The enormous face that appearedst, doesn''t it resemble the patriarch of the Longshan family?"


    "It isn''t just simr, it must be the patriarch of the Longshan family."


    The true gods felt chills. As eighth-rank true gods, their memories wouldn''t be wrong. That enormous face, if shrunk billions of times, was the patriarch of the Longshan family.


    Furthermore, their divine avatars were moved into a spatial cage on the way to hold the patriarch ountable at Longshan Ridge.


    All clues pointed to one possibility.


    The one who acted against them was the patriarch of the Longshan family.


    The one they regarded as an ant, intending to burn his soul in the divine kingdom for ten thousand years, was just a demigod.


    Honestly, the gods never took the patriarch of Longshan seriously, even if he was behind the disappearance of the demigods.


    But a demigod was just a demigod.


    No matter how powerful a demigod, without gathering faith and elevating a divine kingdom, was still an ant.


    But now.


    The ant in the gods'' eyes had transformed into a celestial dragon?


    "Impossible."


    "Not a god yet, how could he be so strong?"


    "Right, the patriarch of Longshan isn''t even a true god. How could he be so powerful?"


    Even with the evidence before them, some gods found it hard to believe.


    They had endured countless trials and tribtions to elevate their divine kingdoms, enter the Sea of Light, and be gods revered by all.


    And now this?


    "I want to see the main god, to understand why the patriarch of Longshan is so powerful."


    "Right, which main god should we see?"


    "The god of Divination. There is nothing in the world he doesn''t know. The god of Divination must know the origin of the patriarch of Longshan."


    The true gods immediately set off.


    Among the twelve main gods of the Sea of Light, the god of Divination was the most unique and the most amiable.


    Other main gods, like the god of order, the Magic Net Goddess, the rainbow dragon god, etc., were almost perfectly rational, either in slumber or in seclusion.


    Only the god of Divination asionally provided guidance.


    The gods had previously asked the god of Divination to trace thest known locations of the missing demigods.


    Now it seemed this tracing was urate. Given the patriarch of Longshan''s strength, it was easy for him to abduct some demigods.


    "The patriarch of Longshan must be a god who nearly fell in the distant past, whose divine kingdom fell to the human world."


    A true god spected.


    In the distant past, many divine wars urred, many gods fell, and their divine kingdoms fell to the human world.


    But a fallen divine kingdom didn''t necessarily mean death. As long as there were believers in the human world, the fallen god had a chance to return.


    Of course, this chance was extremely slim, a mere theoretical possibility that had never actually happened.


    But the patriarch of Longshan was so powerful that some gods couldn''t help but think along these lines.


    "Whether he is a fallen god or not, once we see the god of Divination, everything will be clear."


    One true god responded.


    They had absolute trust in the god of Divination.


    Longshan Hall.


    In the cultivation chamber.


    Lin Yuan resumed his meditative posture.


    "The taste of divine avatars is slightly better than pure ''divine crystals.''"


    "Unfortunately, they are just avatars. If they were the true gods themselves, I could at least test the effect of the true god''s core."


    Lin Yuan felt a bit regretful.


    With his current strength, there was no difference between divine avatars and true gods. The absolute spatial control brought by nearly 100Myers of space allowed Lin Yuan to crush any true god or even a main god at the spatial rank.


    "But it won''t be long."


    "Once Iprehend thest bit of spatial essence in the demigod''s core."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. To him, the spatial essence in the demigod''s core was a reflection of the spatial essence of this world.


    For example, a TV. Demigods only knew how to watch shows through this TV.


    But Lin Yuan used the TV itself to deduce aplete modern industrial chain and thusprehend modern industry.


    Of course, the spatial essence of a world was infinitely moreplex than an industrial chain, just an analogy.


    The spatial essence corresponding to the demigod''s core was foundational. Lin Yuan needed to fullyprehend it to more efficiently understand the spatial essence of the true god''s core.


    "Space."


    In Lin Yuan''s eyes, countless spatialyers appeared.


    In his internal world, countless spatialyers rapidly unfolded, with newyers being born every moment.


    "Hmm?"


    Suddenly, Lin Yuan stoppedprehending and looked in a certain direction.


    "Have you seen enough?" Lin Yuan muttered.


    A gathering of invisible forces.


    A tall, cold-eyed beautiful woman appeared.


    The moment this woman appeared, the rules of the world seemed to retreat, and an aura surpassing true gods spread.


    "The Magic Net Goddess?"


    Lin Yuan looked at the beautiful woman without any surprise.


    Who was the first to know about Lin Yuan''s actions against the divine avatars?


    Was it the true forms of the divine avatars in the Sea of Light? Or the Order Pope beside Lin Yuan?


    Neither.


    The first to sense the anomaly was the Magic Net Goddess, who enveloped the entire human world and was one of the twelve main gods of the Sea of Light.


    Where the weave covered, was within the goddess''s perception.


    Lin Yuan acted against the church of lust and descended corelly because he was wary of the Magic Net Goddess, fearing that too strong a force would attract her attention.


    "Patriarch of Longshan, what is your background?" The Magic Net Goddess looked at Lin Yuan with a hint of curiosity.


    As a main god, overlooking all beings and gods, there were few things that could stir their emotions.


    But Lin Yuan was undoubtedly one of them.


    "You will know my background soon."


    "I will corelly enter the Sea of Light, and I hope you main gods will not disappoint me."


    Lin Yuan didn''t bothermunicating with these main gods. He raised his right hand, gathering the terrifying power of the world, sweeping everything away with multiple spatialyers.


    The Magic Net Goddess before him, just an avatar condensed by the Magic Net in the human world, naturally couldn''t withstand Lin Yuan''s casual strike.


    "Magic Net?"


    Lin Yuan looked around, and with a slight thought, his own power spread in all directions, expelling the omnipresent Magic Net. As for the Longshan family members''munication without the Magic Net?


    With Lin Yuan''s strength, he could easily construct a new municationwork'' to rece the original Magic Net.


    Sea of Light.


    Numerous true gods gathered in front of the towering temple of the god of Divination.


    The events they had just experienced had already spread among the gods. The emergence of a being in the human worldparable to a main god was hard to ignore.


    So the true gods gathered here numbered far more than hundreds. At least eighty percent of the true gods in the Sea of Light had been drawn here.


    Even from afar, the wills of main gods were observing.


    At this moment, the temple doors opened.


    The god of Divination, dressed in white robes, walked out.


    "I already know your intentions." The god of Divination, an old man with white hair, spoke gently, his eyes kind.


    "To uncover the origin of the patriarch of Longshan is not difficult." The god of Divination''s tone was calm, but he too was curious.


    Previously, he had only divined thest known location of the missing demigods, which was Longshan Ridge, and had not continued further.


    He hadn''t expected this matter to cause such a stir.


    "Thank you, god of Divination."


    "The god of Divination knows everything. The origin of the patriarch of Longshan will soon be clear to us."


    The true gods were excited. The power disyed by the patriarch of Longshan,parable to a main god, made them very curious about why he was in the human world.


    "Then I will begin."


    The god of Divination smiled slightly and silently recited the name of the patriarch of Longshan and the specific location of Longshan Ridge.


    He then activated the divination power of the main god''s core within him, using the world''s rules to trace the true origin of the patriarch of Longshan.


    Scenes began to appear before the god of Divination.


    These were events that had urred in Longshan Ridge in the past.


    These events were disyed to the god of Divination in reverse chronological order.


    A hundred years.


    Two hundred years.


    Three hundred years.


    Four hundred years.


    In an instant, the timeline reached four to five hundred years ago.


    "What is his origin?" The god of Divination''s expression showed slight anticipation.


    Divination, in essence, was time. Using the main god''s core of time within him, he could trace the past.


    Thus, the god of Divination had the title of knowing everything.


    After all, with enough time reversal, there were no secrets for the god of Divination.


    Among the twelve main gods of the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness, the god of Divination might not have the strongestbat power, but he was undoubtedly the hardest to kill.


    By observing the past, the god of Divination had mastered countless life-saving methods.


    Buzz.


    Time continued to reverse.


    When it reached a certain point.


    The slowly reversing time came to a halt.


    "Hmm?"


    The god of Divination''s expression changed slightly. He had never encountered such a situation before.


    Someone could actually resist his time reversal.


    The god of Divination quickly looked at the scene. The young patriarch of Longshan was lying on a bed, suddenly opening his eyes.


    The next moment.


    The reversing time seemed to touch something unfathomable.


    The entire river of time began to ripple, and the god of Divination''s face changed drastically. He clearly felt a bacsh from the river of time, almost engulfing him.


    Pfft.


    The god of Divination''s face turned as white as paper, his aura plummeting, and cracks appeared on the main god''s core of time within him.


    In the sky.


    The giant star representing the god of Divination, which illuminated one-tenth of the sky, began to shake violently.


    Wobbling.

 Chapter 320

    Longshan Hall.


    Lin Yuan wasprehending the essence of space within the demigod persona.


    Suddenly¡ª


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes.


    "Someone is stalking me?"


    Lin Yuan sensed a subtle andtent feeling of being watched.


    This feeling was not a spatial observation, but a temporal one.


    If it weren''t for Lin Yuan''s profound understanding of time rules over the years, he probably wouldn''t have noticed anything unusual.


    Even for ninth or tenth-rank beings, it was difficult to counteract in the domain of time.Simply put, someone was tracing back through the river of time, trying to understand Lin Yuan''s true origin.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan delved into his mind, where the grand and majestic Gate of Myriad Realms stood. A trace of insignificant bacsh casually emanated from the projection of the Gate of Myriad Realms.


    "He spied on the aura of the Gate of Myriad Realms, no, it should be a look, then encountered bacsh?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression turned a bit peculiar.


    The Gate of Myriad Realms, whose exact rank Lin Yuan still couldn''t determine, far surpassed the rank of twelfth-tier supreme beings.


    A supreme being couldn''t cross dimensions that easily, but the Gate of Myriad Realms could do it effortlessly, as simple as eating or drinking.


    Such an existence had the traits of being ''unviewable'' and ''unspiable,'' akin to a burning sun that constantly radiated energy.


    Beings without enough strength and rank, if they dared to view or spy, would suffer terrifying bacsh, regardless of the distance or dimensional barriers.


    This was just a projection of the Gate of Myriad Realms. If it were the main body... actually, there was no such possibility because the moment the main body of the Gate of Myriad Realms descended into this world, everything would copse.


    Lin Yuan couldn''t bear the Gate of Myriad Realms'' main body, and this world couldn''t either.


    "Was it a main god from the Sea of Light? Or a main god from the Abyss of Darkness?"


    Lin Yuan spected as he looked up at the sky.


    The stars representing the gods hung there, seemingly eternal. Among the twenty-fourrgest stars, one of them began to show intense fluctuations, as if it might fall.


    "The god of Divination?" Lin Yuan observed carefully and concluded.


    The many stars hanging high in the sky corresponded to various true gods, especially the twenty-fourrgest stars, which were the divine kingdoms of main gods.


    As soon as the bacsh from the Gate of Myriad Realms passed, one of the main god''s divine kingdoms trembled. Lin Yuan was almost certain that the one who spied on him at the time was that god.


    "There is actually a main god with time attributes," Lin Yuan thought with some excitement.


    Time rules, though a pir rule like space rules, were much harder toprehend and master.


    In this world, the cores of demigods, true gods, and even main gods were like ''keys'' that opened the essence of rules.


    For instance, a demigod core with space attributes allowed Lin Yuan to see the true spatial essence of this world, greatly benefiting his creation of spatialyers.


    What about a core with time attributes? Especially a main god core?


    "It depends on the extent of the time essence contained within the core of that main god," Lin Yuan thought.


    If the time essence was too high, Lin Yuan might have a headache because it would mean that the main god had advanced usage of time rules, such as reversing time directly and hiding in the past.


    In such a case, even if Lin Yuan had absolute strength, he couldn''t do anything to the main god.


    But this probability was low. To reverse time with one''s true body required aplete understanding of time rules. If that main god had such strength, he wouldn''t have been detected when spying on Lin Yuan at the time rank.


    So far, Lin Yuan''s understanding of time rules was just at the beginner rank, far from mastery.


    "Shouldn''t have been bacshed to death, right?"


    Lin Yuan carefully observed therge star in the sky.


    Knowing that the other party had a rare time attribute persona, Lin Yuan instead worried about the other party''s safety.


    Sea of Light.


    In front of the temple.


    The gods eagerly watched the god of Divination.


    They hoped to use the power of this great main god to understand the origin of the patriarch of Longshan.


    However, what happened next made the faces of the gods change drastically.


    The once unfathomable god of Divination suddenly had his aura be chaotic, and it plummeted endlessly.


    In the sky above the human world, therge star belonging to the god of Divination also changed rapidly, noticed by all the gods.


    "What is happening?"


    "What happened?"


    "Why is the great god of Divination like this?"


    The gods were in disbelief. If they hadn''t seen it with their own eyes, they would never have thought that a high and mighty main god could be in such a state.


    The divine power, divine body, and even the divine kingdom were all decaying.


    This was a main god!


    Since ancient times, even in brutal divine wars, main gods stood high above. There had indeed been cases of main gods disappearing mysteriously in history, but it was never because of battles with other main gods.


    "Bacsh, this is bacsh."


    "The god of Divination encountered bacsh."


    An ancient higher god seemed to think of something and muttered.


    Theoretically, the ''divination'' authority mastered by the god of Divination required a price for each divination.


    The price depended on both the diviner and the one being divined.


    But the god of Divination was too powerful, being one of the twenty-four strongest main gods. Even divining the secrets of a main god of the same rank would not cost much.


    Thus, most true gods forgot that the ''divination'' authority required a price.


    "What kind of origin does the patriarch of Longshan have to make the god of Divination pay such a price?"


    "Is it rted to the ''supreme god'' in the legends?"


    "Supreme god?"


    The gods'' expressions became serious.


    Since the creation of the world and the birth of the first main god, the Lord of Light, there had been legends of a ''supreme god.''


    It was said that the supreme god created everything, even the ''main god cores'' possessed by the main gods were granted by the supreme god.


    Why were there only twenty-four main gods? Because to be a main god, one must possess a main god core.


    And there were only twenty-four main god cores.


    Theoretically, only when a main god fell could a new main god be born.


    There had been several instances of main gods disappearing in history, and not long after, the world condensed a new main god core corresponding to the fallen main god.


    While the gods were discussing, the god of Divination, whose aura and divine body had plummeted, barely held on.


    "What is that?"


    The god of Divination''s eyes showed a trace of fear.


    He had used the method of time reversal to try to lock onto the origin of the patriarch of Longshan. In the end, without seeing any useful images, he was overwhelmed by the bacsh and only now recovered.


    "Supreme god?"


    The god of Divination immediately thought of the supreme god.


    He had never seen the supreme god, but with the current rank of bacsh, the only exnation was the legendary ''supreme god.''


    "The patriarch of Longshan has obtained an opportunity rted to the supreme god?"


    The god of Divination took a deep breath. He didn''t believe the patriarch of Longshan was the supreme god, because if that were the case, none of these things would have happened.


    With the status of the supreme god, even main gods like them would have to obey with just a word. How could the supreme god be in the human world abducting demigods?


    "An opportunity from the supreme god." The god of Divination''s eyes showed a hint of longing.


    Longshan Ridge.


    Many members of the Longshan family had received the news. Over the years, the Longshan family, starting from Longshan Ridge, had expanded its influence over the entire teau of Nations.


    Naturally, they had befriended many demigods.


    Many of these demigods had connections with true gods in the Sea of Light.


    Thus, the news that the patriarch of Longshan had killed hundreds of divine avatars quickly spread to the Longshan family.


    "The patriarch killed hundreds of divine avatars?"


    Many elders of the Longshan family were shocked. They had witnessed the rise of the Longshan family from a viscount power to its current status.


    These elders'' long lives were due to the grace of the patriarch of Longshan.


    However, despite their high regard for their patriarch, they were stunned to learn that divine avatars were like ants before Lin Yuan.


    How could this be?


    Wasn''t it said that below true gods, all were ants?


    How had true gods be ants now?


    "My son, has he be a god?" Longshan Fang said dumbfoundedly. His rank was not high enough to understand that bing a god and elevating a divine kingdom couldn''t be hidden.


    But given that Longshan Yuan could easily kill hundreds of divine avatars, the only possibility was that he had be a god himself.


    "Yuan." Longshan Fang''s wife was equally incredulous. She remembered Lin Yuan as a wastrel, and now he had reached such heights.


    "The patriarch hasn''t be a god."


    Longshan Ling stepped forward.


    This information came from the Order Pope and should be true.


    Any newly ascended god had to enter the Sea of Light or the Abyss of Darkness immediately, ording to the ironw among the gods.


    Yet the patriarch of Longshan remained in the hall''s cultivation room.


    "Not a god?"


    The members of the Longshan family exchanged nces.


    Most of them didn''t understand the significance of this event, but their reverence and admiration for the patriarch of Longshan deepened significantly.


    Sea of Light.


    Main hall of the main gods.


    Twenty-four thrones appeared, each upied by a figure.


    These figures were all main gods, including not only those from the Sea of Light but also from the Abyss of Darkness.


    The Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness, although different factions, had fought several divine wars in the long past.


    But that was among the true gods below the main gods. To main gods, the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness were essentially the same.


    The twenty-four main gods were fundamentally beings of the same rank, with no irreconcble hatred among them.


    At this moment, facing an opportunity rted to the supreme god, they had all gathered.


    "Prophet, is the patriarch of Longshan really rted to the supreme god?" A figure shrouded in darkness asked. He was the Dark Lord.


    He was the second main god born in the world. The Lord of Light created the Sea of Light, and the Abyss of Darkness was created by him.


    "If not rted to the supreme god, how could I end up like this?" The god of Divination''s aura was weak.


    Even though he barely withstood the bacsh, the god of Divination had exhausted his foundation, and even his divine kingdom was on the verge of copse.


    Such damage would take a million years to recover.


    "Indeed."


    The Dark Lord''s eyes flickered but said nothing more.


    "What rank is the patriarch of Longshan at now?" A figure shrouded in endless light spoke.


    "I can confirm that the patriarch of Longshan is still a ninth-rank being. The bacsh I suffered did note from the patriarch of Longshan."


    The god of Divination immediately answered.


    "The patriarch of Longshan''s strength surpasses any of us," the Magic Net Goddess said coldly.


    Not long ago, she had descended an avatar tomunicate with the patriarch of Longshan, but he had erased it with a mere wave of his hand.


    From this brief exchange, the Magic Net Goddess had roughly gauged the strength of the patriarch of Longshan.


    "As long as he hasn''tpletely surpassed the ninth rank, it''s manageable," a phantom-like main god said, ncing at the other twenty-three main gods.


    "So, how should we deal with this patriarch of Longshan?"


    Upon hearing this, the other twenty-three main gods looked at each other but said nothing.


    The twenty-four main gods had lived for countless ages, and even their emotions had mostly worn away, but now they felt a renewed desire.


    A desire for the opportunity rted to the supreme god.


    This could potentially help them advance further, surpassing the other main gods.


    At that point, there would be no distinction between the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness.


    "You all want to deal with the patriarch of Longshan and seize the opportunity rted to the supreme god?" The god of Divination understood the main gods'' intentions.


    He also had this thought. Who wouldn''t want to advance further? But in his current state, it was just wishful thinking.


    "Dealing with the patriarch of Longshan requires utmost caution. Remember, he is in the human world. Even if we join forces, we might destroy the human world while failing to seize the opportunity."


    Another main god spoke.


    Whether it was the supreme god''s opportunity or the possibility of advancing, the human world was the foundation of the main gods.


    "Right."


    "We need to find an excuse to lure the patriarch of Longshan to the Sea of Light or the Abyss of Darkness."


    The other main gods nodded slightly. Only in the depths of these multiyered spaces could they act without restraint.


    Longshan Ridge.


    Longshan Hall.


    Lin Yuan was still in seclusion,prehending the demigod persona.


    [Your unrivaled insight allows you to observe the world''s fundamental rules, enhancing your understanding of space continuously.]


    [Your unrivaled insight allows you to observe the world''s fundamental rules, enhancing your understanding of space continuously.]


    [Your unrivaled insight allows you to observe the world''s fundamental rules, enhancing your understanding of space continuously.]


    As a vast amount ofprehension flowed into his mind, it finally caused a qualitative change. Lin Yuan suddenly gained enlightenment, fully understanding the basic essence of space in this world.


    "So that''s how it is."


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes, his gaze deep.


    Simultaneously.


    The internal world within him also began to undergo earth-shattering changes.


    ...

 Chapter 321

    Chapter 321


    The internal world was vast and mighty.


    Layers uponyers of space were rapidly opened and expanded.


    Lin Yuan sensed slightly and figured out the number of spatialyers his internal world currently upied.


    120 millionyers of space.


    In the main world and main universe, ninth-rank beings were also known as multi-space beings and needed to upy as many spatialyers as possible.


    However, Lin Yuan didn''t know if any ninth-rank beings in the long history of the main world had ever created such a number of spatialyers.


    But Lin Yuan had never heard of such a being.


    Most ninth-rank beings struggled immensely to open up tens of millions ofyers of space, with only a few reaching twenty or thirty millionyers.


    Some unique special beings might manage to open seventy or eighty millionyers of space?But exceeding one hundred millionyers? Even reaching one hundred and twenty million? It wasn''t that it was impossible to create suchyers, but normal ninth-rank beings simply didn''t have the lifespan to achieve it.


    Even Lin Yuan had reached this height in a short time by leveraging the unique properties of the ''god core'' in this world.


    "It''s almost time."


    "It''s time to try the true god core and the main god core."


    Lin Yuan looked into the void as if he could see through theyers of space, his gaze falling on the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness, these two vast spatialyers.


    With this thought, Lin Yuan walked out of Longshan Hall.


    "Patriarch."


    "The patriarch hase out."


    Many members of the Longshan family had been waiting outside. Upon hearing the incredible news, they immediately gathered outside Longshan Hall.


    "Yuan." Longshan Fang and his wife looked at Lin Yuan, wanting to say something but unsure of how to begin.


    The current Lin Yuan seemed no different from before, making it hard for them to associate him with the Longshan patriarch who could kill true gods as easily as ants.


    "Patriarch, did you really kill those divine avatars?" Longshan Ling couldn''t help but ask.


    "Was the Order Pope right?"


    "Indeed, it was me who killed them." Lin Yuan nodded. With his internal world reaching 120 millionyers of space, he even had confidence in contending with tenth-rank beings.


    In this world, he was invincible.


    "It really was the patriarch."


    "If the patriarch can kill so many divine avatars, he must also have the strength to kill true gods."


    Other members of the Longshan family trembled upon hearing this. Learning about it from others and hearing it directly from their patriarch werepletely different experiences.


    "Is our Longshan family going to be a family of gods?" Many elders of the Longshan family were moved to tears.


    There existed some transcendent forces on the teau of Nations, surpassing even empires, which were families that had given birth to true gods.


    These families were second only to the major churches, often receiving attention from true gods who had ascended to the Sea of Light.


    Now.


    The Longshan family was about to join their ranks.


    This was far more shocking than Lin Yuan publicly revealing his demigod strength. In this world, true gods meant eternal glory.


    Lin Yuan nced at the excited and exhrated members of the Longshan family and smiled, "I''m going to the Sea of Light now."


    "To the Sea of Light?" Longshan Ling realized that her patriarch was different from normal true gods.


    ording to the Order Pope, the Longshan patriarch had not yet elevated a divine kingdom but possessed near-invincible true god strength.


    "Patriarch, why are you going to the Sea of Light?" Longshan Ling hesitated for a moment before summoning the courage to ask.


    "To negotiate a deal with the gods." Lin Yuan didn''t hide anything and spoke directly.


    Lin Yuan''s deal with the gods was for them to voluntarily offer their divine cores, which he would return afterprehending each one.


    In fact, if the gods cooperated, Lin Yuan could give them some dignity.


    "A deal?" Longshan Ling swallowed hard, noticing that Lin Yuan wasn''t referring to a single true god, but to all the gods!


    What did this mean?


    Longshan Ling didn''t dare think further.


    Other members of the Longshan family didn''t delve deeper. They were still immersed in the joy of their family bing a family of gods.


    Tear.


    Lin Yuan took a step forward.


    The stable space in front of him suddenly ''tore'' open a crack, revealing a vast world filled with endless light.


    It was the Sea of Light.


    Lin Yuan continued stepping forward into the Sea of Light.


    The crack rapidly healed, leaving the shocked members of the Longshan family.


    This was their first time seeing the real scene of the Sea of Light, the dwelling ce of the gods, something countless demigods had longed to see.


    Sea of Light.


    Vast and expansive, filled with endless light.


    "Light?"


    Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. It was said that the first main god in this world was the Lord of Light, who controlled all light.


    As soon as Lin Yuan entered the Sea of Light.


    In the temple where the twenty-four main gods had gathered, the Lord of Light''s expression changed slightly.


    "The patriarch of Longshan has already arrived in the Sea of Light," the Lord of Light immediately said.


    The Sea of Light was created by him, and he was aware of every slight change within it.


    "What?"


    "The patriarch of Longshan dared toe in voluntarily?"


    "We were just thinking about how to lure the patriarch of Longshan here, and he came by himself?"


    The other twenty-three main gods were incredulous but quickly realized this was an unprecedented opportunity.


    The patriarch of Longshan didn''t know theirbined strength, so he dared toe alone.


    "I have sealed off the Sea of Light. Now all the gods, including us main gods, cannot leave for a short time."


    The Lord of Light looked around.


    "Let''s see what the patriarch of Longshan has to say. If he is willing to share the supreme god''s opportunity with us, we can let him join us."


    This statement immediately gained the approval of the other main gods.


    If they could ''peacefully'' obtain the supreme god''s opportunity, they naturally wouldn''t want to risk their lives.


    Who knew what trump card the patriarch of Longshan had? For him toe so boldly, he must have confidence.


    Even if the twenty-four main gods were confident they could suppress the patriarch of Longshan, they might be ''exchanged'' for a few of their own.


    No main god could guarantee they wouldn''t be the one ''exchanged.''


    "This spatialyer is sealed?" Lin Yuan had been in the Sea of Light for only a short time before noticing the change in the spatialyer.


    "What a weak seal."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. With his strength, he could easily tear it apart.


    However, his purpose here was the divine cores of the gods. The Sea of Light being sealed was just what he wanted.


    As Lin Yuan pondered.


    Figures began to appear in the distance.


    These were the many true gods summoned by the main gods.


    "Is that the patriarch of Longshan?"


    "Lucky to get the supreme god''s opportunity?"


    "Supreme god, a being we true gods can only look up to."


    "I always thought the supreme god was fictional. Didn''t expect it to be real."


    The true gods looked at Lin Yuan with various emotions¡ªreverence, greed, excitement, curiosity, and more.


    Whoosh.


    Whoosh.


    Whoosh.


    At that moment.


    Above the many true gods, twenty-four figures appeared silently.


    These twenty-four figures seemed to exist eternally, exuding nearly immortal auras.


    "Twenty-four main gods? The twelve main gods of the Abyss of Darkness are here too?"


    "Looks like the patriarch of Longshan is in big trouble today."


    "The main gods can fight for the supreme god''s opportunity, and so can I."


    The true gods had different thoughts. To them, Lin Yuan was just a mere viscount''s heir who had gained the supreme god''s opportunity and suddenly reached his current rank of power.


    If they had the supreme god''s opportunity, wouldn''t they have a chance to surpass the main gods?


    "Patriarch of Longshan."


    At that moment, a tall main god with golden dragon horns spoke.


    He was the Rainbow Dragon God, the source of faith for all dragon beings. Strictly speaking, the rainbow dragon bloodline within Lin Yuan came from this main god.


    "Why have youe here today?" the Rainbow Dragon God asked, his eyes fixed on Lin Yuan.


    Although he was extremely eager for the supreme god''s opportunity, he couldn''t show any impatience at this moment.


    "I''vee to discuss a deal with you," Lin Yuan said with a smile.


    He looked at the many true gods and the twenty-four main gods, filled with anticipation. What kind of spatialyers would these divine cores and main god cores create for him?


    "A deal?"


    "A deal with us?"


    The Rainbow Dragon God was slightly stunned, and so were the other twenty-three main gods.


    "What deal?"


    The Lord of Light asked directly.


    "I want to borrow your divine cores," Lin Yuan said.


    Upon hearing this.


    Not only the twenty-four main gods fell silent.


    Even the many true gods below were silent.


    The divine core was the absolute core of a god. Handing over the divine core was akin to handing over their life.


    Especially for main gods, their main god status was based on the main god core.


    Handing over the main god core would plunge them into an abyss of despair if Lin Yuan harbored any ill intent.


    "Patriarch of Longshan, you are too arrogant," the Dark Lord said coldly. "Asking us to hand over our divine cores? What do you intend to exchange for them?"


    Although he didn''t intend to agree, the Dark Lord was curious about Lin Yuan''s terms.


    "If you hand over your divine cores, I will spare your lives," Lin Yuan said honestly.


    "Hahaha, you seem very confident in dealing with us, don''t you, patriarch of Longshan?"


    "Sparing our lives? Today, you will stay in the Sea of Light."


    The main gods and true godsughed, angered by Lin Yuan''s arrogance. Despite Lin Yuan''s extraordinary spatial mastery, they had twenty-four main gods and numerous true gods. No matter how strong Lin Yuan was, he couldn''t stand against them all.


    The twenty-four main gods held powers corresponding to the world''s source. This was why they were confident in suppressing Lin Yuan.


    If they joined forces, no one but the true supreme god could stop them.


    "It seems the deal is off." Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. Getting the gods to voluntarily hand over their divine cores was indeed difficult.


    But for Lin Yuan, it wasn''t a big problem. He could just take them himself.


    "Patriarch of Longshan, hand over the supreme god''s opportunity, and we will let you go."


    The Order God said. His subsidiary deity had intended to recruit Lin Yuan, so he still had somepassion for him.


    "Yes, hand over the supreme god''s opportunity, and everything will be fine."


    "The supreme god''s opportunity is not something you can enjoy alone."


    The other main gods immediately said, staring at Lin Yuan with eager eyes.


    They no longer concealed their intentions, directly demanding the supreme god''s opportunity. As for angering the supreme god?


    If the supreme god didn''t want them to have the opportunity, they wouldn''t have any contact with Lin Yuan in the first ce.


    Since the supreme god had not given any hint so far, it meant that the supreme god''s opportunity in Lin Yuan''s hands could be seized.


    "Supreme god''s opportunity?"


    Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Forget it, arguing with you is pointless."


    "Since you all want to die, I will oblige."


    "Today, countless stars will fall"


    Upon hearing this.


    All the true gods were stunned, and the twenty-four main gods tensed up.


    While they were greedy, they were still rational. Lin Yuan''s continued confidence meant he must have something up his sleeve.


    But before the true gods and twenty-four main gods could react.


    Lin Yuan raised his right hand, instantly upying 120 millionyers of space. The terrifying power swept over all the true gods and main gods.


    "This¡ª"


    The first to feel despair were the true gods. They immediately sensed that everything about them, body and soul, was disintegrating.


    "No¡ª"


    Masses of true gods turned to dust. Even the oldest higher gods couldn''t resist Lin Yuan''s attack, their wills falling into darkness in an instant, leaving only bright divine cores in ce.


    Whoosh.


    Whoosh.


    120 millionyers of space trembled back and forth, soon enveloping the twenty-four main gods. Each main god''s expression was filled with fear. They tried to hide in the depths of the spaceyers but found that everyyer they could upy was covered by Lin Yuan''s attack.


    Longshan Ridge.


    Outside Longshan Hall.


    The members of the Longshan family were still excitedly discussing.


    "Was that just now the Sea of Light?"


    "The dwelling ce of the gods, the holiest world, and our patriarch could enter as he wished."


    "Of course, with the patriarch''s strength, he must be among the strongest gods under the main gods even in the Sea of Light."


    The members of the Longshan family were filled with pride.


    "By the way, the patriarch mentioned negotiating a deal with the gods. What does that mean?"


    A family member seemed to realize something and couldn''t help but ask.


    "It should just mean a normal deal?"


    "Not sure, but since it''s a deal, there''s a possibility of sess or failure."


    "Yes, what if the patriarch can''t negotiate a deal with the gods?"


    The family members thought for a moment, and their faces showed concern.


    Could it be that the patriarch would immediately have a conflict with the gods upon entering the Sea of Light?


    At that moment.


    A family member seemed to notice something, his voice trembling, "Look at the sky."


    "The sky?"


    Although puzzled, the members of the Longshan family looked up at the sky.


    What they saw was an unforgettable sight.


    In the sky, the once eternal stars were hanging high.


    But now, under everyone''s incredulous eyes¡ª


    One star began to fall, followed by a region of stars, and then the entire sky''s stars.


    Dense and countless stars that had hung in the sky for countless millennia began to fall, like meteors.


    Stars fell like rain to the human world.

 Chapter 322

    Outside Longshan Hall.


    The members of the Longshan family looked up at the sky, trembling.


    There, one by one, enormous stars fell to the ground like rain.


    Not just one or two stars fell, but entire regions, even the entire sky, were filled with falling stars.


    This was unbelievable.


    Everyone''s mind was in a haze, dumbfounded by the shocking scene before them.


    It was known in this world that the stars in the sky were not merely stars; they were the divine kingdoms of gods, symbols of their immortality.


    Even those without any faith held the highest reverence for the stars in the sky, seeing them as the pinnacle of life''s reach.


    Over the long ages, almost everyone believed the stars in the sky were eternal. From birth to death, and from their descendants'' birth to death, they always saw the same stars.Therefore, for many people, the stars in the sky were as eternal as the heavens themselves.


    But now, the understanding of the Longshan family members began to shatter as countless stars started to fall simultaneously.


    "What is happening?"


    "The stars are the divine kingdoms of the gods, how can they fall?"


    "A divine kingdom falling means a god is falling, but how is that possible?"


    "Gods are immortal, how can they fall?"


    The members of the Longshan family were incredulous. Some even thought they were dreaming, but after pping themselves and feeling the pain, their fear almost overflowed.


    "No, the patriarch just entered the Sea of Light."


    "The divine kingdoms are falling quickly, clearly something major has happened in the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness. Could something have happened to the patriarch?"


    Some members of the Longshan family thought further. Lin Yuan was the pir of the Longshan family, set to lead the family to the pinnacle of the teau of Nations, but now this had happened?


    "Let''s hope the patriarch is alright."


    Some of the elders of the Longshan family thought silently.


    The stars falling from the sky, seen by the members of the Longshan family, were not exclusive to them.


    At that moment, in the vast human world, in ces where countless beings gathered, people also noticed the changes in the sky.


    "The stars are falling?"


    "Are gods falling?"


    "How is this possible? How can so many gods fall at once?"


    In many hidden corners, ancient demigod monsters who had lived for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years were also dumbfounded.


    They lived longer and knew the history, understanding the existence of ''god wars.''


    Gods were not incapable of falling; they lived so long that almost all beings believed gods were eternal.


    But in reality, gods could die, especially during ''god wars.''


    During ''god wars,'' true gods from the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness would kill each other, leading to the fall of gods.


    But even in the most brutal god wars, at most dozens or hundreds of gods would die. But now? The falling stars numbered in the thousands.


    The hearts of many ancient demigod monsters began to slow because the scene before them shocked their souls. Some even wondered if the gods of the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness had been wiped out in one go.


    Otherwise, how could so many stars fall at once?


    "What is happening?"


    "What happened in the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness?"


    "Could it be the twenty-four main gods ughtering the true gods?"


    Many ancient demigod monsters couldn''t help but specte, their faces showing fear.


    Only the main gods could cause such a mass fall of true gods, and not just one main god, but twenty-four main gods working together in a massacre.


    If even one main god disagreed and resisted, the frequency of the falling stars would not be so high.


    The ancient demigod monsters could deduce from the area and range of the falling stars that a massacre of true gods was happening in the Sea of Light or the Abyss of Darkness.


    This massacre was one-sided, with the true gods being ughtered having no ability to resist.


    This realization left many ancient demigod monsters disheartened. They didn''t know how much they had sacrificed to ignite their divine fire and step into the seventh rank, then hide and secretly gather faith, hoping to condense a divine kingdom and elevate it.


    But now they saw the true gods, who they had set as their ultimate goal, being ughtered like pigs and dogs in the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness.


    So, the gods they revered so highly could also be this weak? Unable to decide their own fate and only able to wait for death?


    For a moment, many ancient demigod monsters'' mental states wavered, and their ignited divine fire began to flicker.


    What''s the point of gathering faith? Of elevating a divine kingdom? Even if they became true gods and entered the Sea of Light, what then?


    It might not be as safe or free as the human world.


    "Why are the main gods ughtering the true gods?"


    "For faith? It can''t be. The twenty-four main gods already control most of the faith in the human world. Even if they clean out all the true gods, their faith won''t change qualitatively."


    "Are they worried about their status being threatened? That''s not possible either. Leaving aside the strength difference between main gods and true gods, the number of main gods is fixed. No matter how talented a true god is, without a main god core, they can''t be a main god, let alone threaten a main god''s status."


    The ancient demigod monsters quickly exchanged thoughts.


    "The noble twenty-four main gods, actually entering to massacre ordinary true gods." A younger demigod said resentfully, wanting to criticize the twenty-four main gods.


    At that moment.


    Higher in the sky, above all the stars, in the highest region where twenty-four enormous stars hung, the divine kingdoms of the main gods.


    Now, following the fall of one star after another, the twenty-four enormous stars also began to fall.


    One.


    Two.


    Five.


    Ten.


    In just a few breaths, more than ten main god divine kingdoms had fallen to the human world.


    This left the demigods who were criticizing the twenty-four main godspletely silent, and then they fell into confusion.


    So, it wasn''t just true gods falling.


    Main gods were also falling?


    This scene filled all demigods with unprecedented terror.


    Main gods were falling.


    And inrge numbers.


    So, who was doing the ughtering?


    If it were the twenty-four main gods ughtering the true gods, how could the main gods also be falling?


    It should be known that battles between main gods were long and arduous. Even the strongest Lord of Light and Dark Lord would struggle to kill the weakest main god.


    Let alone a one-sided massacre like this?


    "What exactly happened in the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness?" An ancient demigod with their life nearing its end and divine fire about to burn out muttered.


    The fall of main gods was something even ''god wars'' had never seen.


    "Ragnarok, this is Ragnarok." Another demigod thought silently.


    "This is bad. The fall of divine kingdoms will cause unimaginable effects on the human world." A demigod seemed to realize something.


    Even powerful demigods were shocked by the falling stars. A few, however, thought about what the falling stars would mean for the human world.


    In the long ages past, god wars had caused several stars to fall to the human world, resulting in irreversible destructive impacts.


    Tens of thousands of years had not seen recovery, and the forbidden ces were the final resting ces of fallen divine kingdoms.


    After all, what fell were not just stars but divine kingdoms containing vast amounts of energy.


    A few fallen stars had caused such severe consequences. Now, with so many stars falling, including the enormous main god divine kingdoms, if they trulynded, perhaps the human world would survive, but the beings living there would be wiped out.


    Even the ancient demigod monsters might not survive.


    "This is not Ragnarok; this is the end of all beings." A demigod appeared, no longer caring about hiding. After all, hiding wouldn''t matter if they were going to die.


    As for running? With the speed of the falling stars, where could they run? And with so many stars falling, running would still leave them within the range of the divine kingdoms.


    Buzz!!!


    As the many demigods looked pale and realized their imminent death, a ck and white yin-yang light screen appeared, crossing the vast human world. It formed a ''giant'' that caught all the falling stars.


    At both ends of the human world.


    Lin Yuan''s two primordial spirits, the Yin Spirit and the Yang Spirit, stood in mid-air.


    The ''giant'' of yin-yang Tai Chi that spanned the entire human world was Lin Yuan''s creation.


    Long ago, Lin Yuan had ns for the divine kingdoms. These divine kingdoms, existing for tens of thousands of years, absorbed countless amounts of faith and contained massive amounts of pure energy.


    Now, with Lin Yuan''s main body going to the Sea of Light to negotiate with the gods, if the negotiations failed and a fight began, Lin Yuan would not waste the falling stars.


    Even if he didn''t need them, he could use ''primordial power'' to restore the divine kingdoms to pure energy and have the essence gold absorb it.


    Using an ''indirect'' method to bring it back to the main world.


    Rustle.


    As the ck and white yin-yang Tai Chi opened, one by one, the divine kingdoms appeared in Lin Yuan''s internal world.


    To other ninth-rank powerhouses, their internal worlds would burst from amodating so many divine kingdoms, including the main god divine kingdoms.


    But Lin Yuan''s internal world was nearly 200M miles in circumference, with 120 millionyers of space.


    Most importantly, Lin Yuan had three such internal worlds.


    One with his main body, one with the Yang Spirit, and one with the Yin Spirit.


    Over three hundred years, Lin Yuan''s two primordial spirits had long since be flesh and blood through the ''Illusion to Reality'' secret method. Using the mysterious gourd, they had expanded their bodies and internal worlds to their current limits.


    "Too many, too many."


    Lin Yuan felt joyful. Each divine kingdom entering his internal world would quickly be ''dissolved,'' ''divided,'' and then refined into the ''bell-shaped'' essence gold.


    In the vast human world.


    The demigods who had been preparing to close their eyes and wait for death suddenly saw a ck and white yin-yang Tai Chi ''giant'' appear under the sky.


    The stars that fell toward the human world vanished as soon as they touched the ''giant,'' as if they had never existed.


    "What is this? It can stop the falling divine kingdoms?"


    The ancient demigod monsters were incredulous. The divine kingdoms falling from the sky carried terrifying energy and impact, far exceeding the power of a true god burning their divine body and power in a final strike.


    The falling stars were like the gods burning everything in one final act. Even main gods couldn''t withstand it.


    But now, under the ck and white ''giant,'' all the falling stars were easily neutralized, including the massive main god divine kingdoms.


    "The owner of this ''giant''..."


    Some ancient demigod monsters felt a shiver. They guessed that the ''giant''s'' owner was likely the source of the fall of the gods and main gods.


    Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental?


    As soon as the stars began to fall, the ''giant'' caught them?


    And to lightly block the impact of so many falling stars, killing gods and main gods seemed not impossible.


    In the Sea of Light.


    Under Lin Yuan''s attack, terrifying power crushed everything it touched throughyer uponyer of space.


    In an instant, over eighty percent of the true gods fell. The remaining twenty percent were peak higher gods with sturdy divine bodies. Even if reduced to dust, they could reform.


    In this world, gods had changed their life forms, abandoning their original flesh. Their divine bodies were made of the purest faith.


    There were no ws.


    But unfortunately, under the repeated tremors of spaceyers, these higher gods, no matter how many times they reformed, would turn to dust again.


    Even the high and mighty main gods, caught off guard, had their divine bodies destroyed many times. Lin Yuan''s attack targeted the main gods, while the true gods only faced the aftermath.


    Thus, a few true gods hadn''t perished yet, but some main gods had already fallen.


    "What is this power?"


    "Magic Net Goddess, didn''t you say the Longshan patriarch hadn''t surpassed the ninth rank?"


    "This is the supreme god; this is the power of the supreme god."


    One by one, the main gods roared, using all their means to resist the attack prating through spaceyers, but to no avail. Their divine bodies shattered again and again.


    Even with deep reserves, the main gods couldn''t withstand their bodies being destroyed repeatedly.


    "Run."


    The main gods of the Abyss of Darkness tried to escape without hesitation, but quickly encountered the space barriers sealed by the Light God.


    "Light God, you deserve to die."


    The Abyss of Darkness main gods cursed the Light God. The space barrier sealing the Sea of Light was challenging to break for main gods, but only challenging.


    It would take time.


    But now, there was no time.


    Boom, boom, boom.


    One by one, the Abyss of Darkness main gods tried to escape but couldn''t.


    Today, more than 80% of the stars have fallen.

 Chapter 323

    "Chief Longshan, we are willing to submit."


    "Yes, we are willing to offer our divine core, as long as Chief Longshan spares our lives, we will obey yourmands henceforth."


    "Please, Chief Longshan, have mercy."


    Upon witnessing theplete demise of many true gods and even the main gods, the remaining gods were immediately terrified and began to beg for mercy.


    Even gods who have lived for countless ages still shudder in fear when faced with life and death.


    Compared toplete death, offering their divine core was not something uneptable, especially since Lin Yuan''s current disy of strength had clearly surpassed that of the main gods, reaching the level of the Supreme God.


    Begging for mercy from a Supreme God was not very disgraceful.


    "Submit?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression remained calm, unmoved.If Lin Yuan had just entered the Sea of Light and intended to negotiate with the gods, and they agreed to his terms, offering their divine core voluntarily, Lin Yuan indeed would not have exterminated thempletely.


    But now?


    They had already made their move, and Lin Yuan had killed so many true gods and main gods. epting the submission of the remaining gods at this point would clearly be redundant.


    After all, Lin Yuan''s time in this world was only 1,110 years. The submission of these gods and main gods now would surely be half-hearted.


    When Lin Yuan finished transmigrating back to the main world, without Lin Yuan''s deterrence, it would be hard to predict what actions these gods and main gods might take.


    Therefore¡ª


    With the intention of eliminating the roots, since Lin Yuan had chosen to act, there was no need to hold back.


    Voluntarily offer their divine core?


    Even if they didn''t offer it voluntarily, Lin Yuan could take it himself.


    And he could also acquire a vast divine kingdom brimming with tremendous energy as a resource for enhancing his primal essence.


    Lin Yuan naturally knew how to choose.


    Boom boom boom.


    Apanied by terrifying energy,yers of space trembled.


    Within the Sea of Light, all the true gods werepletely dead. Even the oldest true gods couldn''t withstand such crushing power.


    Only eight main gods survived.


    Even so, these eight main gods had paid a heavy price, with their auras severely depleted.


    In fact, from the time Lin Yuan started to act until now, less than ten breaths had passed.


    "Open!"


    The Lord of Light burned his divine power, finally unlocking the spaceyer of the Sea of Light.


    "Run."


    "Quickly run."


    The remaining eight main gods didn''t dare to hesitate for a moment, immediately upying deeperyers of space, swiftly distancing themselves from the Sea of Light.


    Lin Yuan stood still, his gaze deep.


    The main gods were the ''darlings'' of this world, and the main god core contained a portion of this world''s ''authority.''


    When the main gods fully exerted themselves to escape, even if Lin Yuan had opened 120 millionyers of space, it would be difficult to stop them in a short time.


    After all, in essence, Lin Yuan and the ninth-level main gods were still on the same level of life, just with slightly more profound ''foundations.''


    As long as they were in this world, the main gods'' means of escape were far superior to those of ordinary ninth-rank peak powerhouses.


    Originally, Lin Yuan didn''t expect to be able to kill so many main gods in one go when he entered the Sea of Light.


    Lin Yuan''s expectation was to deal with all the true gods, and as for the remaining main gods, he would hunt them down one by one.


    The escape methods of the main gods were indeed strong, but if he dragged it out, once Lin Yuan upied more, deeper, and broader spaceyers, these main gods would still be like birds in a cage, still within his grasp.


    However, what Lin Yuan didn''t expect was that the Lord of Light was so cooperative, actually sealing off the spaceyer of the Sea of Light, turning the gods'' abode into aplete cage, giving Lin Yuan the opportunity to directly eliminate sixteen main gods.


    Before Lin Yuan descended, the strongest beings in this world were the main gods, and many of the killing moves in the Sea of Light were targeted at the main gods.


    The initial purpose of sealing the spaceyer of the Sea of Light was also to temporarily trap the other main gods here.


    Unexpectedly, it became a death warrant for all the main gods now.


    Actually, in such an opportunity just now, with Lin Yuan''s full strength explosion, both true gods and main gods would bepletely dead within five breaths.


    However, the full strength of such an explosion was too terrifying. Lin Yuan was worried about damaging the true god core and main god core inside the true gods and main gods.


    The divine core was not indestructible. At least, Lin Yuan could easily destroy half of it if he wished.


    The true god core might be far more robust than the half-divine core, but it still couldn''t withstand Lin Yuan''s full-strength attack. As for the main god core? It might hold up, or it might not.


    But Lin Yuan didn''t want to gamble.


    After all, each divine core and main god core was a shortcut for Lin Yuan, its value far exceeding that of the true gods and main gods.


    Therefore, when he acted just now, Lin Yuan was cautious, carefully controlling his strength to avoid affecting any divine core or main god core.


    "The main god core of the God of Divination?"


    Lin Yuan raised his right hand, and a bright white essence slowly floated, from the God of Divination among the twenty-four main gods.


    In the first wave of crushing just now, the God of Divination was the first main god to fall. The main reason was not that the God of Divination had the weakest survival ability.


    In fact, the survival ability of the God of Divination waspletely in the top three among the twenty-four main gods.


    The God of Divination fell so easily because he had suffered bacsh from the Gate of Myriad Realms, with his strength reduced by nine-tenths.


    Actually, given the character of the God of Divination, he should have hidden in his divine kingdom after such a severe injury.


    But the opportunity rted to the Supreme God was too tempting. Even knowing he was seriously injured, the God of Divination wanted to join the fun.


    What if? What if he got lucky and obtained the opportunity of the Supreme God?


    So, with this thought, the God of Divination became the first main god to fall.


    "The main god core of Time?"


    Lin Yuan carefully examined the bright white crystal in his hand.


    During the confrontation with the main gods just now, Lin Yuan was particrly cautious. As soon as a main god''s divine body waspletely obliterated, Lin Yuan immediately stepped in to protect the fallen main god core.


    "It''s cracked in some parts."


    Lin Yuan observed for a while, noting the cracks on the essence.


    It was precisely these cracks that greatly weakened the God of Divination''s power, causing him to fall after enduring only a few waves of crushing, in addition to the spaceyer sealing by the Lord of Light.


    "These cracks must have been caused by the bacsh from the Gate of Myriad Realms," Lin Yuan thought to himself. He could see that the cracks had been there for some time.


    "The impact should be minimal."


    Lin Yuan gazed at the time main god core, and through this ''key,'' he faintly glimpsed the vast and mysterious essence of the time rules of this world.


    "I''llprehend itter."


    Lin Yuan gathered his thoughts and solemnly stored the time main god core in his inner world.


    During this time, Lin Yuan nced at a nearby small mountain.


    It wasposed of numerous true god cores, representing all the true gods existing in the Sea of Light for countless ages.


    More urately, all the divine cores were there.


    "The myriad rules," Lin Yuan''s gaze was slightly heated as he looked at the small mountain of true god cores, with countless insights flooding his mind.


    "Hold back, hold back."


    Lin Yuan withdrew his consciousness from his inner world.


    "What about thest eight main gods?" Lin Yuan looked towards other spaceyers. Earlier, when he made his move, Lin Yuan had marked all the main gods, making it impossible for them to escape his perception.


    In fact, there was no need for a mark. By locking onto the cause and effect rules, he could know the positions of those main gods.


    Lin Yuan''s direct attack on the main gods generated the strongest cause and effect between them, making it a beacon in the eyes of those proficient in cause and effect rules.


    "Let them flee for now. I''ll first deal with the true gods of the Abyss of Darkness."


    Lin Yuan casually tore through the spaceyer, stepping into the spaceyer where the Abyss of Darkness resided.


    This world was only sorge. No matter how much the eight main gods escaped, they couldn''t leave the world''s range.


    The main gods, holding the authority of the world, also couldn''t leave the world. Once they did, their main god core would copse.


    And somewhere in this world, a new main god core would recondense.


    This was why the number of main gods in this world had always been twenty-four, no more, no less.


    Even if a main god inexplicably disappeared in history, their main god core would reappear in this world.


    This was also why Lin Yuan allowed the eight main gods to escape.


    Firstly, it was troublesome to stop them, and he might not be able to do it. If he used too much force, he might damage the main god core.


    Secondly, the main god core he desired most wouldn''t leave this world.


    Deep in the spaceyers.


    The Dark Lord was fleeing quickly, filled with fear and unease.


    "I shouldn''t have gotten involved in this mess. What opportunities rted to the Supreme God? It''s all nonsense!" The Dark Lord''s mind was still trembling.


    What he experienced in the Sea of Light hadpletely frightened him. His previously indestructible divine body was so fragile before Chief Longshan.


    The Dark Lord felt that if the Lord of Light had been a bit slower in unlocking the spaceyer, he might have ended up like the true gods, left in the Sea of Light.


    "Terrifying, too terrifying."


    The Dark Lord''s scalp tingled, "But now that I''m hiding in such deepyers of space and still moving, Chief Longshan shouldn''t easily find me, right?"


    "Hmm?"


    "The true gods of the Abyss of Darkness are now being ughtered by Chief Longshan and are calling for my help?" The Dark Lord sensed something, his heart stirred.


    As the second main god to emerge in this world, the Dark Lord had a deep connection with the Abyss of Darkness, able to sense the calls of many true gods within.


    But at this moment¡ª


    "I can''t even protect myself, how can I help you?" The Dark Lord thought silently, "You can still call for my help, but who can I call for help?"


    The Dark Lord felt a bit helpless.


    Since bing a main god, he had never experienced such a desperate escape. Even when fighting his archenemy, the Lord of Light, for countless ages, he had never felt so hopeless.


    Momentster.


    Lin Yuan left the Abyss of Darkness.


    "It''s you."


    Lin Yuan gazed into a certain spaceyer, where a main god from the Sea of Light was fleeing.


    "Seven-colored Dragon God?"


    Lin Yuan''s figure disappeared again, pursuing.


    Deep in the spaceyers.


    A seven-colored dragon, millions of feet long, was frantically fleeing.


    Every swing of its body crossed a vast number of spaceyers.


    At this moment.


    The spaceyer where the million-foot-long seven-colored dragon resided was instantly upied, and a figure appeared in front of the Seven-colored Dragon God¡ªit was Lin Yuan.


    "Chief Longshan."


    The Seven-colored Dragon God was somewhat desperate, "How is your speed so fast?"


    As the main god of the Seven-colored Dragon n, the Seven-colored Dragon God was very adept at space maniption, but he hadn''t expected Lin Yuan to catch up so quickly.


    "Do you have anyst words?" Lin Yuan asked indifferently.


    In reality, he was taking the opportunity to upy more spaceyers. The battle between ninth-rank beings was essentially a pursuit through countless spaceyers.


    No matter how many spaceyers Lin Yuan opened, he had to fully upy them to gain an absolute advantage.


    Before fully upying them, the Seven-colored Dragon God, who was adept at space rules, still had a chance to escape.


    "Chief Longshan, I can sense that your blood carries the bloodline of my Seven-colored Dragon n," the Seven-colored Dragon God said, looking at Lin Yuan. "In a way, we are family."


    The Seven-colored Dragon God started to im kinship with Lin Yuan.


    At this moment, as long as he could survive, he was willing to do anything.


    "Family?"


    Lin Yuan smiled slightly. Just now, when he was asked to give up the opportunity rted to the Supreme God, there was no mention of family. Now, facing death, he talked about family?


    "I can see that you are also trying to move deeper into the spaceyers through the gaps between the spaceyers," Lin Yuan said directly.


    While taking the opportunity to upy more spaceyers, the Seven-colored Dragon God naturally wouldn''t sit still and was also trying various efforts.


    In a direct fight, based on thebat power Lin Yuan disyed in the Sea of Light, the Seven-colored Dragon God knew he couldn''t possibly match up.


    So he tried to use his natural talent to instantly move through the spaceyers.


    But clearly, the Seven-colored Dragon God''s n couldn''t escape Lin Yuan''s notice.


    With Lin Yuan upying 120 millionyers of space, his perception of the subtleties of space had reached a terrifying level.


    "Die."


    Momentster, Lin Yuan had upied 120 millionyers of space here. With a slight thought, a vast force crushed toward the Seven-colored Dragon God.


    "No."


    The Seven-colored Dragon God watched helplessly. He tried to continue fleeing into deeper spaceyers, but couldn''t. The surrounding space waspletely sealed.


    "To think I would have a day ofplete demise? To die under the power of the Supreme God is worth it." The Seven-colored Dragon God''s divine body disintegrated.


    At the same time, a main god core emitting seven-colored light fell into Lin Yuan''s hand.


    "This main god core?" Lin Yuan carefully observed.


    Compared to the other main god cores Lin Yuan had acquired, the Seven-colored Dragon God''s essence was special, containing seven powers, or more precisely, seven rules.


    Unfortunately, facing Lin Yuan''s absolute advantage, the Seven-colored Dragon God couldn''t even use the seven rules before dying.


    "There are still seven left." Lin Yuan stored the main god core.


    His figure disappeared again.


    Time passed slowly.


    At this moment, all the demigods in the vast human realm were focused on the sky.


    The previously star-studded sky had dimmed, with only five or six colossal stars, representing the main gods, still shining.


    But clearly, the remaining five or six stars wouldn''tst long. Soon, two more stars fell.


    All beings in the human realm were silent with fear, witnessing this unprecedented, shocking scene.

 Chapter 324

    Outside Longshan Hall.


    Many members of the Longshan family were also watching the darkened sky.


    That ce used to be where the eternal and indestructible divine kingdoms of the gods were, worshipped by all beings.


    "Why do I feel that the Chief is still alive? The bloodline remains?" A core member of the Longshan family couldn''t help but say.


    In this world, many knight cultivation methods, and even Lin Yuan''s native martial arts cultivation methods, were centered on the bloodline.


    In essence, they all continuously dug into the limits of the bloodline''s potential.


    With the drastically shortened lifespan,prehending external rules? The efficiency was too slow.


    Only by relying on the potential of one''s own bloodline could one hope to ignite the divine fire before a thousand years, bing a seventh-level demigod, and then striving to elevate the divine kingdom.


    So¡ªThe strong ones in this world are very sensitive to the bloodline, especially to family members who share the same bloodline.


    As the chief of the Longshan family, the strongest person, although many family members could not perceive Lin Yuan''s bloodline specifically, once such an existence fell, and the bloodline perished, all Longshan family members would feel it, experiencing a deep grief from the bloodline.


    But until now, none of the Longshan family members felt this, especially the Chief''s parents, Longshan Fang and his wife.


    They also did not sense the death of their son.


    "The Chief isn''t dead?" Many members of the Longshan family widened their eyes, somewhat unable to react.


    They had seen the Chief enter the Sea of Light with their own eyes, and now such a big incident happened in the gods'' abode, where the gods were almost all dead, and their Chief was still alive?


    It''s not that everyone wanted the Chief to die, but with almost all gods dead, the main gods soon to follow, and the Chief being in the Ocean of Light, how could nothing have happened to him?


    Although many members of the Longshan family had nearly blind faith in their Chief, they never arrogantly believed that the Chief''s strength surpassed that of all the gods and main godsbined.


    "Unless..." Some elderly members of the Longshan family had a slight change in expression, with a terrifying guess forming in their minds.


    This guess was incredibly unbelievable, but with everything happening now, it seemed that only this incredible guess could exin it.


    Longshan Ling and other close followers of the Chief exchanged nces, with the same spection arising in their hearts.


    Could the terrifying scene of this dusk of the gods be rted to their Chief?


    Or, was it directly caused by their Chief?


    This spection was supported by two pieces of evidence.


    First, the rapid fall of the gods happened right after the Chief entered the Sea of Light.


    Such an event that hadn''t urred in ages happened as soon as the Chief entered?


    If it were only this, everyone would just think their Chief had bad luck.


    But up to now, the Chief''s bloodline hadn''t perished and was still well and alive, which starkly contrasted with the dark and deste sky.


    "Is the Chief ughtering the gods?" Longshan Ling and other close followers were trembling in their souls. Many of them had watched Lin Yuan grow up.


    Over hundreds of years, Lin Yuan had created countless legends, even breaking the bloodline shackles of the first Viscount Longshan, bing the first seventh-level demigod in the history of the Longshan family.


    But even so, how could he single-handedly overthrow the gods?


    "Let''s wait for the Chief to return and then ask him."


    Longshan Ling took a deep breath. Although eliminating all possibilities left only the incredible truth, they still dared not believe it without the Chief''s confirmation.


    In the depths of countless spaceyers.


    Lin Yuan was leisurely walking, quickly closing the distance in the spaceyers with the figure frantically fleeing ahead.


    "Lord of Light."


    Lin Yuan looked at thest remaining main god.


    The first main god born in this world and the strongest among the twenty-four main gods.


    For ages, the Dark Lord had fought against him and mostly lost.


    "Chief Longshan, you are not a Supreme God, you absolutely are not a Supreme God." The Lord of Light was in despair, constantly breaking throughyers of space, trying to reach the deepest part of this world''s space.


    "Whether or not I am a Supreme God doesn''t matter to whether you can survive." Lin Yuan''s expression was calm.


    Earlier, the Lord of Light had summoned the other twenty-three main gods and many true gods to suppress Lin Yuan and seize the so-called Supreme God opportunity without mercy.


    If Lin Yuan''s strength wasn''t strong enough and he had faced the encirclement of the Lord of Light during his seventh and eighth ranks, it would have been him fleeing for his life now.


    When dealing with enemies, Lin Yuan always believed in eliminating them entirely. As for the innocent? Any true god had trampled over countless mortals to rise, doing whatever it took to gather faith.


    The Goddess of Lust established the Church of Lust, using carnal pleasure to tempt high officials and nobles, but were the beautiful girls used to tempt them deserving of such fate?


    In the eyes of the gods and main gods, all beings were just resources to elevate them, ants, dust. As long as they didn''t kill too many at once to affect the faith supply, they were utterly indifferent.


    Now, Lin Yuan viewed the gods and main gods as ants, and there was nothing wrong with that.


    "Chief Longshan, if you spare me, I have secrets about the Supreme God to tell." The Lord of Light, sensing Lin Yuan getting closer, immediately shouted.


    He was the first main god born in this world, knowing many secrets. It was said no being had ever seen the Supreme God, but the Lord of Light did know a secret about the Supreme God.


    "Are you talking about the pce in the deepest part of the space?" Lin Yuan said casually.


    While quickly upying many spaceyers, Lin Yuan had vaguely noticed an ancient pce in the deepest part of this world''s space.


    But Lin Yuan had been busy hunting down the remaining main gods, so he didn''t immediately check it out, nning to explore it after dealing with everything.


    Now, the direction of the Lord of Light''s escape was exactly towards the ancient pce in the deepest part of the space.


    "You know?" The Lord of Light was in disbelief. He had discovered the mysterious pce early on and spected it was rted to the Supreme God but never found more useful information.


    "You''re too weak."


    "At my level, there''s hardly any secret in this world." Lin Yuan shook his head slightly, closing the distance in the spaceyers significantly.


    Now, Lin Yuan had opened 120 millionyers of space, while this world''s spaceyers numbered around a trillion.


    This meant, if Lin Yuan wanted, he could explore all the spaceyers in this world by spending some time due to his spatial capacity.


    Many secrets hidden in theyers of space weren''t secrets to Lin Yuan.


    "Die."


    Lin Yuan had now approached the Lord of Light closely.


    "So this is the feeling of death?" The Lord of Light suddenly stopped, his divine body and soulpletely disintegrating.


    "The divine core of light?"


    Lin Yuan reached out, and a divine core radiating infinite light appeared in his palm.


    "Hmm?"


    "It contains the essence of endless light and part of the essence of time?" Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, pleasantly surprised.


    As the first main god, the Lord of Light was undoubtedly the strongest among the twenty-four main gods, with his divine core containing two rule essences.


    Although it couldn''tpare to the Seven-colored Dragon God''s seven rule essences, both endless light and time were powerful rule essences.


    "However, during the escape just now, the Lord of Light didn''t use any time essence abilities," Lin Yuan thought for a moment and figured out the reason.


    Time rules, though mysterious and profound, also depended on the strengthparison between the two parties.


    For example, the most basic time stop ability was useful in situations with simr strengths, whether for fighting or escaping, it was a divine skill.


    But in cases of vast strength and life essence differences, it was useless.


    It might even have a negative effect.


    If time were a river, time stop would be like setting up a '' in a segment.


    It would trap the life moving with the river, stopping it.


    But if the life to be trapped was a massive whale far exceeding the''s capacity.


    The only result would be the breaking, and the whale continuing unhindered.


    The Lord of Light probably sensed Lin Yuan''s overwhelming life essence and, even at the end, didn''t use any time-rted abilities.


    Because it was meaningless.


    Not only time rules but any rule ability or innate talent, even divine powers, would be useless in the face of sufficient strength differences.


    For example, Lin Yuan now, without using any methods, relying solely on his internal world of 120 million spaceyers, could crush any ninth-rank life.


    Even uniquely talented and terrifying special life forms had no chance of resisting Lin Yuan.


    Under absolute power, any methods were just fancy tricks.


    "Since I''m already here." Lin Yuan stored the divine core of light and looked towards the ancient pce in the deepest part of the space.


    Originally, Lin Yuan nned to explore it after finishing everything, but now that he was here, he might as well check it out.


    Swoosh.


    The Yang primordial spirit appeared beside him.


    Lin Yuan transferred all the divine cores in his internal world to the Yang primordial spirit''s internal world, then stepped into the deepest part of the space.


    Even though Lin Yuan considered himself invincible in this world, he wouldn''t be arrogant.


    With two primordial spirits outside and leaving behind much blood essence, even if Lin Yuan perished in the mysterious pce, he wouldn''t lose much.


    Buzz.


    The mysterious pce was grand and majestic, with a faint terrifying pressure. Even a strong main god could only barely resist under such pressure.


    This was why the Lord of Light thought the pce was rted to the Supreme God. Who else but the Supreme God could build such a pce?


    "Supreme God?"


    Lin Yuan walked slowly on the main path of the pce, his mind slightly cautious.


    With his strength, he could ignore the pressure, but this space was clearly not the work of a main god. If there was indeed a Supreme God, it might be their doing.


    Half a dayter.


    Lin Yuan had explored most of the pce.


    "Just a pce?" Lin Yuan carefully observed, even prating deeper spaceyers, finding nothing of value.


    "No use to me." Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. He had observed the pce for half a day without gaining any insights, far less valuable than divine essences.


    "Perhaps this pcees from a more ancient past." Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The era of the gods began with the Lord of Light, but what about before the Lord of Light? It was too ancient.


    As for the Supreme God? At Lin Yuan''s current level, he had seen the upper limit of this world.


    That was level nine.


    The Supreme God was an existence that all gods agreed surpassed level nine.


    Although Lin Yuan''s strength far exceeded the main gods, with a life essence terrifyingly profound, he was still considered at level nine, not reaching level ten.


    To surpass level nine, only the world''s consciousness might achieve that.


    Lin Yuan was not unfamiliar with the world''s consciousness, an almost selfless instinct born from the world itself.


    Also called the ''Heavenly Dao.''


    During his previous transmigrations, Lin Yuan had encountered the world''s consciousness several times.


    Since the era of the gods, the world''s consciousness in this world had been subtly guiding the trend.


    Lin Yuan had no fear or apprehension towards the world''s consciousness because it wasn''t a life form with specific emotions.


    As long as Lin Yuan didn''t intend to destroy the world, the world''s consciousness wouldn''t target him excessively.


    In his fourth transmigration to the Five Domains World, where Lin Yuan became the demon lord Xiahou Yuan, the world''s consciousness noticed him but did nothing directly.


    "Time to go back."


    Lin Yuan took onest look at the pce and then left.


    Swoosh.


    Lin Yuan returned to the human realm.


    "I need to restrain my aura."


    Lin Yuan began to suppress his aura. At his level of life, even a slight leakage could influence his surroundings, turning everything into his ''domain.''


    Moreover, the human realm''s space subtly gave Lin Yuan a sense of restriction, like a beached whale.


    This applied not only to Lin Yuan but even to lower gods. When they descended, they felt simr restrictions.


    Why did the gods reside in the Sea of Light or the Dark Abyss? Besides worrying that their unconscious aura leakage would ''mutate'' the beings, it was also because the human realm restricted them.


    In contrast, the Sea of Light and the Dark Abyss had no such restrictions. Relying on many spaceyers, even the main gods could act freely.


    "It seems I need to open my spaceyer."


    Lin Yuan nned. Although he could suppress his aura, now that he was invincible, there was no need to continue suppressing and worrying about attracting the gods'' attention.


    "Opening a spaceyer."


    Lin Yuan looked up. If the Lord of Light could open the Sea of Light, and the Dark Lord could open the Dark Abyss, he could naturally open a vast world.


    urately, it wasn''t opening butpleting and modifying the existing spaceyers.


    To truly open aplete, independent world, one must understand theplete rules of space and time.


    The internal worlds of eighth-rank powerhouses in the main world relied on the main world, not independent worlds.


    "What should I call the world I open?"


    Lin Yuan pondered, quickly finding the answer, "It will be called the Martial World."


    ...

 Chapter 325

    Lin Yuan did not regard the Martial World as merely a training ground. It was to be the future home of martial cultivators who would elevate their divine kingdoms.


    These martial cultivators would be those who, through martial cultivation methods, reached the rank of eighth-level true gods.


    The Martial World,pared to martial cultivators, was simr to how the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness were to the gods.


    "Unfortunately, this world suppresses lifespan too harshly. Trying toprehend the essence of external rules normally and then breaking through to the seventh rank within a thousand years is as hard as climbing to the sky."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The path of martial evolution, after being localized by Lin Yuan, emphasized the extraction of one''s bloodline potential.


    While this allowed for rapid progress in the early stages, neglecting theprehension of external rules made it difficult to independently develop an internal world.


    Did the gods elevate their divine kingdoms because they didn''t want to internalize them? They couldn''t; divine kingdoms formed through faith couldn''t be controlled absolutely like the internal worlds of eighth-rank evolvers in the main world.


    Despite this world''s suppression, Lin Yuan had still included methods in the martial cultivation system toprehend external rules and thus open an internal world without relying on faith.Even if future martial cultivators in this world might never use this method, Lin Yuan still left it behind.


    "However, the advantage of the bloodline cultivation path is clear: by leveraging the power of the bloodline, there are almost no bottlenecks in the early stages of cultivation."


    Lin Yuan thought silently.


    Every time he transmigrated to a world, Lin Yuan tried to absorb the essence of its cultivation system and integrate it into his martial evolution path.


    "The structure of the divine kingdoms of the gods in this world is more stable than the internal worlds of normal eighth and ninth-rank powerhouses."


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes. In the internal worlds of his two primordial spirits, the divine kingdoms of countless gods were being analyzed, especially those of the main gods, whoseplexity far surpassed the ten millionyer realms of ninth-rank powerhouses.


    If Lin Yuan hadn''t been an exception, developing a 120 millionyer internal world that crushed ninth-rank main gods,


    With just ten millionyers, it would have been difficult to deal with those main gods.


    Even if he could win, he wouldn''t be able topletely kill them. As long as the main gods hid in their divine kingdoms, ten millionyers might not be enough to deal with them.


    Lin Yuan could cut off the faith from the human realm to weaken the main gods, but it would be too slow.


    The main gods had harvested faith from the human realm for countless years, and the umted faith power could sustain them for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years.


    "The structure of the divine kingdoms."


    Lin Yuan carefully observed the details of the divine kingdoms of the twenty-four main gods.


    [Your Unrivaled Insight, observing the structure of numerous unique worlds, continuously enhances your understanding of the essence of worlds.]


    [Your Unrivaled Insight, observing the structure of numerous unique worlds, continuously enhances your understanding of the essence of worlds.]


    [Your Unrivaled Insight, observing the structure of numerous unique worlds, continuously enhances your understanding of the essence of worlds.]


    For a moment, a flood of insights surged into Lin Yuan''s mind, and he instinctively adjusted the fine structure of his internal world.


    "My martial ninth-rank chapter involves more than just developing more spaceyers; it also includes fine-tuning the internal world''s structure."


    Lin Yuan''s eyes shone brightly. He had been hesitant to systematically perfect the martial ninth-rank chapter.


    Because the martial ninth-rank path he walked waspletely unrepeatable. Could the martial evolvers in the main worldprehend divine cores? Could theyprehend the rules within divine cores?


    Without Lin Yuan''s Unrivaled Insight, even cing a divine core in front of them would yield no results.


    The gods in this world had possessed divine cores for incredibly long periods but neverprehended the corresponding rules like Lin Yuan did.


    Moreover, divine cores were unique to this world; the main world had no such concept, so martial evolvers couldn''t follow Lin Yuan''s path.


    Thus, if it couldn''t be widely applied, even if Lin Yuan forcibly opened the martial ninth-rank chapter, it wouldn''t be anything special.


    But now, by understanding the divine kingdoms of numerous gods and main gods, Lin Yuan keenly grasped the key to opening the martial ninth-rank chapter.


    Whether for the eighth, ninth, or even tenth and eleventh ranks, the internal world was the foundation, the source of one''s power.


    The structure of the internal world, constantly improved by the great evolutionary schrs of human civilization in the main world, had reached a limit.


    Simr to the racial shackle of ten thousand miles in diameter, it was hard to improve further.


    But the divine kingdoms of the gods in this world showed Lin Yuan apletely different direction from internal worlds.


    Under these circumstances, Lin Yuan used his Unrivaled Insight toprehend parts of the divine kingdom concept and then integrate them into the martial ninth-rank chapter.


    "If sessful, the internal world of martial ninth-rank evolvers will be more stable and perfect than those of same-level ninth-rank powerhouses, making the future transformation into an internal universe easier."


    Lin Yuan was excited.


    Simply put, this meant future martial ninth-rank evolvers would each have a world tree.


    The world tree, as a top-notch cosmic treasure of eleven stars, had the effect of stabilizing the internal world. After Lin Yuan''s improvements, the stability of the internal world would be on par with that of the world tree.


    The key point was that this stability came from the internal world itself, not external forces, making the final transformation of the internal world easier.


    Of course, the world tree had more effects than just stabilizing the internal world, but even so, martial ninth-rank evolvers would have an innate advantage over other same-level powerhouses.


    Simr to how special life forms had advantages over normal same-level powerhouses.


    This was a difference in foundation.


    No way, with the same attack, your internal world is about to copse, teetering on the brink of destruction.


    But the internal world of a martial ninth-rank evolver just wobbles and then stabilizes.


    "Divine cores, world structures, and the bloodline evolution path are my three greatest gains from this transmigration."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The importance of the first two was self-evident. As for the bloodline evolution path, although it had many drawbacks, it depended on the specific situation.


    Many citizens of the main world had lowprehension and were insensitive to external rule fluctuations, making the bloodline evolution path suitable for them.


    Of course, the premise was having a sufficiently strong bloodline.


    But in any case, it was a path, much better than never bing an evolver in one''s lifetime.


    "Perhaps I can integrate the bloodline evolution path into martial cultivation? Simr to how the physical cultivation lineage was integrated into martial cultivation before?"


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    The bloodline evolution path was not a specific evolutionary path; it was more like a method or way to use the power of one''s bloodline to enhance strength.


    There were many bloodline evolution families in the main world, but their exploration of bloodlines was not as perfect as in this world.


    After all, in the human civilization of the main world, the bloodline evolution path was a niche evolutionary path, its upper limit easily locked. To be a true powerhouse, the path of ruleprehension was still the key.


    "Take it slow."


    "There is still more than half of the stay time left, and plenty of time remains."


    Lin Yuan collected his thoughts and looked down.


    Longshan Ridge had arrived.


    Outside Longshan Hall.


    Many members of the Longshan family were still waiting patiently.


    They could feel that the great Chief Longshan Yuan was still alive, well and truly alive.


    At this moment, a figure silently appeared in front of the hall.


    "Chief."


    "Chief, you''re back?"


    Longshan Ling and several close followers were the first to react, quickly bowing respectfully.


    "Mm."


    Lin Yuan nced at the many excited members of the Longshan family.


    "Chief, the matter in the sky..." Longshan Ling mustered up the courage to cautiously ask.


    "I did it," Lin Yuan answered directly. There was no need to hide it anymore. He was already invincible in this world; why conceal or keep a low profile?


    "It''s true?" Hearing Lin Yuan''s confirmation, Longshan Ling and the others were stunned.


    Even though they had guessed this possibility, the actual confirmation still felt unbelievable.


    The Chief was that powerful?


    "There''s something else." Lin Yuan''s mind moved, and a figure was teleported out.


    It was the Pope of the Church of Order.


    In this massacre of the gods, this affiliated divine spirit was the only survivor.


    The reason, of course, was that Lin Yuan had a good rtionship with him over the years.


    Secondly, this Pope only had the strength of a lower god. With the death of the Order Lord, his strength had plummeted to barely the threshold of a true god.


    As an affiliated divine spirit, his power was permanently fixed, with no potential for further improvement.


    Had it not been for Lin Yuan''s deliberate rescue, the Pope would have been killed by the bacsh the moment the Order Lord died.


    "Chief Longshan..." The Pope of Order looked at Lin Yuan with aplicated expression.


    He had witnessed Lin Yuan''s ughter of the gods in the Sea of Light. At this moment, the Pope felt no fear.


    Because fear was meaningless. If Lin Yuan wanted to kill him, the Pope had no chance of survival.


    "Now you can leave." Lin Yuan had no intention of killing the Pope.


    A mere affiliated divine spirit, his divine core held no attraction for Lin Yuan and would pose no threat to the Longshan family in the future.


    "Thank you, Chief Longshan, for sparing my life." The Pope took a deep breath, feeling inexplicably emotional.


    In this dusk of the gods, all gods had perished, even the so-called strongest main gods. Who would have thought that as the weakest affiliated divine spirit, he would survive?


    The strongest were dead.


    The weakest survived.


    The Pope''s thoughts wereplicated.


    "Chief Longshan." The Pope silently mouthed, knowing that his survival was entirely due to Chief Longshan''s mercy.


    "In the future, it will be the era of Chief Longshan." The Pope left Longshan Ridge, a sudden thought rising in his mind.


    Since the Lord of Light opened the Sea of Light, the era of the gods had officially begun.


    Even the strongest, like the Lord of Light and the Dark Lord, did not dare to put their names before the era.


    But in the future, the name of Chief Longshan would reign supreme over the era. Even after millions, tens of millions, or hundreds of millions of years, future beings and gods would fear the might of Chief Longshan.


    Outside Longshan Hall.


    Lin Yuan looked at Longshan Ling and the others.


    "I will leave the human realm next," Lin Yuan said.


    "Leave the human realm?" Longshan Ling and other key members of the Longshan family exchanged nces. Now, standing before Lin Yuan, they felt a pressure from the essence of life.


    "Chief, where do you n to go? The Sea of Light, or the Abyss of Darkness?" Longshan Ling asked softly.


    "I will go to the Martial World." Lin Yuan smiled.


    "Martial World?" The Longshan family members looked puzzled, hearing this ce for the first time.


    "Where is the Martial World?" Longshan Ling asked cautiously.


    "There." Lin Yuan raised his right hand and tore the space, revealing aplete spaceyer.


    Lin Yuan stepped in, and under the shocked gaze of Longshan Ling and the many Longshan family members, he began to stabilize the spatial turbulence.


    Where Lin Yuan stood, everything stabilized, energy became gentle, space became stable, and a vast earth and sky emerged.


    Boom boom boom.


    A world far surpassing the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness was created, its impact so great that it began to cast reflections in the human realm.


    "Who is that...?"


    "Someone is opening a new world, like the Lord of Light and the Dark Lord did with the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness."


    "This must be the one who ended the era of the gods. Now, opening a world, it should be for their residence."


    The ancient demigods of the human realm, still reeling from the fall of the gods, now witnessed this shocking scene.


    Lin Yuan spent over four hours stabilizing the spaceyer and nodded in satisfaction. "The foundation is roughlyid; this will do for now."


    In his self-created world, Lin Yuan finally felt much morefortable. Under the influence of numerous spaceyers, he felt a long-lost freedom.


    "Let''s announce it to the world." Lin Yuan nced at the vast human realm and manifested a towering figure, "From today, the Martial World is opened. Any who achieve divinity through martial cultivation may enter the Martial World."


    After dering to the human realm, Lin Yuan ignored the ensuingmotion and returned to the Martial World, sitting in its center.


    "Finally, I can quietly cultivate andprehend."


    Lin Yuan took out many divine cores.


    "Twenty-four main god cores, 3,063 upper god cores, 29,642 middle god cores, and 123,242 lower god cores..."


    Lin Yuan was delighted. Just looking at this pile of divine essences, he felt inspired, not to mention when he began to seriouslyprehend them.


    "I wonder how much strength these divine cores can add to me," Lin Yuan thought. By relying on the demigod essences of the human realm, he had developed 120 millionyers of space.


    What about true god cores?


    What about main god cores?


    "Time toprehend." Lin Yuan picked up a divine core. This one had spatial attributes, a ''key'' to the high-level spatial essence of this world.


    And so, time swiftly passed.


    In the blink of an eye, six hundred years had gone by.

 Chapter 326

    The Vast Martial World


    Since the first martial deity ascended a hundred years ago, the originally quiet and lifeless Martial World has gradually be lively.


    The Martial World, created by Lin Yuan, is vastlyrger than the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness. Even the martial deities have not explored its entirety.


    Over the past century, with each martial deity that ascended, the Martial World gradually formed three main regions.


    One region is the gathering ce for martial deities of the Longshan family, centered around Longshan City.


    Another region is where martial deities outside the Longshan family gather, centered around Wanxiang City.


    The third region is the cultivation ce of the great Chief Longshan, upying the central part of the Martial World, where the essence is most concentrated.


    The spread of martial cultivation methods and the establishment of the Martial World all originated from Chief Longshan. Every martial deity ascending from the human realm to the Martial World holds immense respect for Chief Longshan.


    He is the unparalleled strongman who ended the era of the gods and started the Martial Era.Nowadays, although the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness still exist and new gods continue to be born, they cannotpare in power to the Martial World.


    <strong>Name:</strong> Longshan Yuan (Lin Yuan)


    <strong>Identity:</strong> Master of the Gate of Myriad Realms


    <strong>Bound Talent:</strong> Unrivaled Insight


    <strong>Divine Abilities:</strong> Blood Rebirth, Moving Mountains, Enhancement, Elemental Body


    <strong>Current Status:</strong> Consciousness Descended


    <strong>Remaining Stay Time:</strong> Three Years


    Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes, ncing at the lines of illusory text below his vision.


    "The time for my stay is almost up."


    Lin Yuan looked ahead, and the details of everything happening in the vast Martial World entered his eyes.


    As the creator of this world, nothing in the Martial World could be hidden from him, making it almost like a second internal world.


    "When I killed the gods, it caused a significant overflow of faith in the human realm. Along with the spread of martial cultivation methods, in just five hundred years, the first martial deity was born."


    Lin Yuan reflected. Martial deities correspond to the eighth rank in martial cultivation, although there are significant differences.


    The advantage of martial deities lies in leveraging their bloodline power, allowing for rapid progress before the seventh rank. As long as the bloodline''s potential is high enough, there are almost no bottlenecks.


    After the seventh rank, igniting the divine fire should theoretically require a long period of seclusion to gather faith. However, with the fall of the gods, there was no need for such secrecy.


    Additionally, with Lin Yuan''s presence, martial cultivators felt confident. After the first martial deity entered the Martial World, many other martial deities quickly followed.


    In just a hundred years, the number of martial deities in the Martial World exceeded a thousand.


    "Out of the thousand martial deities, only less than a hundred belong to the Longshan family?"


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. Despite his clear favoritism towards the Longshan family, frequently sending his primordial spirits back to the human realm to solve problems for the family''s ''martial talents,'' the family members did not measure uppared to other talents in the human realm.


    This was quite natural. Even with Lin Yuan, the Longshan family was just a single family with limited numbers, iparable to the entire human poption.


    Nevertheless, even with only a few dozen martial deities, the Longshan family still held a dominant position in the Martial World. Martial deities outside the family dared not offend those from the Longshan family.


    All of this, naturally, was because of Chief Longshan Yuan.


    "A few hundred years ago, a young member of the Longshan family prayed for me to suppress martial deities outside the family and curb the rise of martial talents from the source of faith."


    Lin Yuan''s gaze was calm; he naturally did not agree to this request.


    His goal was always to spread martial cultivation as widely as possible. The rise and fall of the Longshan family itself were of little concern, as long as martial cultivation continued to spread in this world, meeting his expectations.


    Restricting the development of martial cultivation for the sake of the Longshan family''s dominance was something Lin Yuan would never do.


    Moreover, he was gradually letting go of the Longshan family, not having his primordial spirits return to Longshan Ridge in the human realm for the past few decades.


    "Their lifespan should be nearing its limit." Lin Yuan looked down, observing everything in the human realm.


    With Lin Yuan''s help, Longshan Fang and his wife reached the most perfect physical state allowed in this world, equivalent to the sixth-level legendary knight, granting them a millennium lifespan.


    However, after a thousand years, if they had not ignited the divine fire, they would still face old age and death.


    Here, old age does not mean physical decay but the decline of the soul and mental will.


    With Lin Yuan''s strength, he could sustain them for several thousand years by maintaining the nourishment of his internal world.


    But once he returned to the main world, and the nourishment ceased, their souls and wills would quickly wither.


    "Igniting the divine fire."


    Lin Yuan''s eyes deepened. In this world, igniting the divine fire is crucial, marking the boundary between mortals and demigods.


    To ignite the divine fire, one must rely on an unmatched will and spirit, something external help cannot achieve, simr to the ''inner demon tribtion'' from the seventh to the eighth rank in the main world.


    Although there were over a hundred thousand martial demigods in the human realm over six hundred years, considering the vast poption, the ratio was still incredibly low.


    On average, there might not be a single martial demigod among a trillion people.


    Longshan Yuan''s parents were ordinary people who had not faced significant hardships. Since Lin Yuan''s rise, they had livedfortably, making the possibility of igniting the divine fire almost nonexistent.


    "Without bing the Strongest One, one must ultimately face the limit of lifespan." Lin Yuan had a realization.


    The supreme immortal kings of the Spirit Realm and the gods of this world seemed to have eternal lifespans, but that eternity was only physical or divine.


    Weaker beings, over eternal time, would have their minds gradually twisted and decayed. Their understanding and perception of all things would be affected by time.


    The same event might be viewed entirely differently by a being who lived a thousand yearspared to one who lived a hundred years.


    The supreme immortal kings and the gods had not lived long enough. If they lived for billions or hundreds of billions of years, they might go mad or even consider suicide, unable to bear the passage of time.


    Only the Strongest Ones, the ultimate beings of an evolutionary path, the twelfth-rank beings, had eternal and unbroken wills and spirits, representing true eternity.


    Of course, the Strongest Ones could die, but never from age.


    "I possess the Gate of Myriad Realms and many means of self-preservation. As long as I do not court death, I will not die. But unless I be the Strongest One, there will be a day when I perish, and no one can save me."


    Lin Yuan pondered. Even the Strongest Ones in the main world had rtives and parents, but without bing the Strongest Ones, they would face old age and death.


    Strong beings whoprehended theplete rules of time could slow their time flow, achieving ''alternative eternity,'' essentially reducing the impact of time on their will and spirit.


    When a thousand years pass in the outside world, it feels like just one day to them, experiencing only a day''s worth of time.


    "Now, my strength..." Lin Yuan closed his eyes, his consciousness descending into his internal world.


    His internal world, spanning 200M billion miles, was vast and mighty. The seven-colored liquids in the mysterious gourd could each enhance Lin Yuan''s physical body and internal world by 3.33 times.


    After fully absorbing the first six colors, the final enhancement would reach 200M billion miles.


    A 200M billion-mile internal world indicated that Lin Yuan had nearly perfected the absorption of the sixth blue liquid, approaching the final purple liquid.


    "To fully absorb the purple liquid, I might need to reach the tenth rank?" Lin Yuan spected.


    The enhancement of the internal world depended on the base strength of the physical body and soul. Each time he transmigrated, Lin Yuan waited until he recovered to his peak before summoning the mysterious gourd, ensuring sufficient self-preservation.


    Low strength would mean the physical body and soul might not bear such a vast internal world, even with high-level ''Blood Rebirth.''


    "Spaceyers." Lin Yuan''s gaze shifted to the deeper parts of his internal world.


    He had expected the internal world''s size and the enhancement of each colored liquid before this transmigration, estimating the final size afterpleting this journey.


    But the spaceyers were a pleasant surprise.


    The divine essences of this world had surpassed Lin Yuan''s expectations for developing spaceyers.


    Initially, he aimed to develop ten million spaceyers during this transmigration, achieving the ninth-rank peak andpleting his goal.


    But ten million spaceyers?


    Six hundred years ago, Lin Yuan''s internal world reached 120 million spaceyers afterprehending the essence of the world''s space through demigod cores.


    In the following six hundred years,prehending various spatial divine cores from true gods and main gods, he further developed the spaceyers to¡ª


    "2.331 billion."


    Lin Yuan''s gaze prated countless spaceyers, his internal world''s depth reaching an astonishing level.


    In the main world, many ninth-rank powerhouses considered ten million spaceyers the peak of the ninth rank. But Lin Yuan had developed 2.331 billion spaceyers?


    In terms of numbers, this was 233.1 times the normal ninth-rank peak, but the actual power was more than ten thousand times stronger.


    "This transmigration has yielded immense gains."


    Lin Yuan couldn''t help but marvel at the unprecedented number of spaceyers¡ª2.331 billion, an amount that would leave any ninth-rank life in the main world in despair.


    Lin Yuan couldn''t im his spaceyers were the highest in the main world, but they were undoubtedly unparalleled.


    This ''unparalleled'' included all beings, not just human civilization but all star races and peak groups, including unique life forms, none of which could have this number of spaceyers at the ninth rank.


    "I wonder what my internal world will be like when it transforms into an internal universe?" Lin Yuan anticipated.


    Transforming the internal world into an internal universe was the ultimate sublimation, breaking all shackles and limitations.


    Then, the internal universe''s size wouldn''t be limited to millions of miles, and spaceyers would naturally evolve, bing broader and deeper.


    The extent of this sublimation depended on the original size and depth of the internal world.


    The strongest ninth-rank life of the Tianyu race, Huny, developed over thirty million spaceyers. Was that just for fun?


    Given the time to develop over thirty million spaceyers, Huny could have crossed into the tenth rank, significantly enhancingbat power beyond millions to tens of millions of spaceyers.


    Other ninth-rank powerhouses of various races also developed as many spaceyers as possible within the ninth rank, with ten million spaceyers as the minimum threshold.


    Developing so many spaceyers at the ninth rank was to prepare for the internal world''s transformation into an internal universe, breaking all shackles and limitations.


    "The Martial Ninth Rank Chapter," Lin Yuan shifted his attention from the internal world to his perfected Martial Ninth Rank Chapter.


    Unlike the seventh and eighth chapters, the ninth chapter focused on adjusting the internal world''s structure, making it more stable and powerful.


    With the same size, spaceyers, and foundation, martial ninth-rank powerhouses would hold an advantage.


    Additionally, based on the bloodline cultivation path of this world, Lin Yuan developed a bloodline purification method for the martial evolution system.


    Martial evolvers could extract their bloodline potential whileprehending the grand rules, enhancing their strength faster than through ruleprehension alone.


    This method was suitable for citizens with high-level, dense bloodlines, with the limit being the seventh rank.


    Human rights in the main world prevented gathering faith, making it impossible to independently develop a divine kingdom and thus reach the eighth rank through this method.


    Lin Yuan envisioned that high-bloodline martial evolvers could fully extract their bloodline potential, reaching the fifth, sixth, and seventh ranks quickly, then transitioning to ruleprehension.


    "The bloodline evolution path is not the grand path." Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    None of the nine supreme powerhouses of human civilization or the strongest of other peak races achieved their ultimate form through bloodlines alone.


    The Ster Union, a league of unique life forms, had supreme powerhouses with noble bloodlines, but reaching the twelfth rank relied on more than bloodlines.


    In some sense, bloodlines became a constraint in reaching the peak.


    "By perfecting the Martial Ninth Rank Chapter and adding a branch for bloodline evolution, I have enhanced the overall foundation and strength of martial evolvers."


    Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction.


    Then, he raised his right hand, and with a thought, the time flow on his skin began to distort, slowing or stopping, bing out of sync with the main time flow.


    "Time rules."


    Lin Yuan''s eyes gleamed. Over the past six hundred years, he had invested significant effort inprehending the time rules.

 Chapter 327

    Time rules are the foundational pirs of the world, and among all pir rules, they are the highest. Comprehending rules like life and space can be done at the sixth or seventh rank.


    But time rules? Without reaching the ninth rank and bing a multi-space life form, one cannot even sense the fluctuations of time rules, let aloneprehend them.


    Even with Unrivaled Insight, Lin Yuan did not attempt to forciblyprehend time rules at the eighth rank. The efficiency would have been too low, making it not worthwhile.


    "Out of the 2,173 time rule models, I have nowprehended 851."


    Lin Yuan thought. Typically, ninth-rank powerhouses do not spend much energy onprehending time rules, often not even getting started on them at the peak of ten millionyers.


    Tenth-rank powerhouses have a deeper understanding of time rules, but they onlyprehend between 200 and 500 time rule models.


    As forprehending 851 time rule models? That is something only extremely powerful and special tenth-rank powerhouses or eleventh-rank powerhouses can achieve.


    To fullyprehend time rules, one must be an eleventh-rank peak powerhouse preparing to attempt a breakthrough to the Strongest One.


    One of the prerequisites for attempting to reach the Strongest One is to fullyprehend time rules and then integrate them with space rules, mastering spacetime for the ultimate leap.During this process, spreading one''s evolutionary path and having more beings cultivate it increases the power for the ultimate leap.


    "Unfortunately, there are too few divine essences with time attributes. Among the main god essences, only the God of Divination and the Lord of Light possess time attributes, and among the true god essences, there is only one."


    Lin Yuan sighed inwardly. If there were more divine essences with time attributes, he could haveprehended a thousand time rule models.


    Comprehending a thousand time rule models at the ninth rank would not be as unprecedented as developing over 2.3 billion spaceyers, but it would still be extraordinary and unparalleled.


    Generally, only those with unique time talents, or one-of-a-kind special life forms, could achieve this.


    "Time slows down."


    With a thought, the time flow around Lin Yuan''s body began to slow, rapidly decelerating so that while a day passed outside, only an hour passed for Lin Yuan, achieving a 12:1 time flow ratio.


    This is the maximum time flow rate Lin Yuan can currently control, primarily due to his life essence being too heavy. Slowing his own time flowes at a significant cost.


    For an ordinary ninth-rank life form, Lin Yuan could easily achieve a 1,000:1 time flow ratio.


    In the river of time, slowing down a whale requires far more energy than slowing down a small fish.


    "Time slowing down makes perceiving the grand rules fuzzy." Even with a 12:1 time flow ratio, Lin Yuan found his perception of the grand rules significantly diminished.


    It can be inferred that in an environment with a time flow ratio of thousands or tens of thousands to one,prehending the grand rules would be nearly impossible.


    "No wonder ninth and tenth-rank powerhouses are reluctant to use time treasure chambers for cultivation." Lin Yuan pondered.


    The Strongest Ones in the main world have the ability to slow down the time flow in a certain area, even refining simr treasures.


    However, in such environments with slowed time flow, it is difficult to make much progress in cultivation, and the time spent still counts against one''s lifespan.


    "Time flow variations in a specific area make perceiving the grand rules fuzzy because the grand rules themselves naturally fluctuate with the main time flow."


    "But when I transmigrate using the Gate of Myriad Realms, the dimensions and nes I reside in have the same time flow, so even if the time flow differs from the main world, it does not affectprehending the grand rules."


    Lin Yuan realized another benefit of using the Gate of Myriad Realms to traverse dimensions and nes.


    Over the six hundred years, aside from time rules, Lin Yuan alsoprehended the essences of other rules, such as life rules.


    The divine essences of the gods and main gods have undoubtedly been of immense help to Lin Yuan, saving a lot of time.


    Without these divine essences, Lin Yuan could still reach his current height, but it would take significantly longer.


    Not utilizing the divine essences as ''keys'' would greatly reduce Lin Yuan''s efficiency.


    Time passed.


    Two more years went by.


    Longshan Fang and his wife eventually died of old age. Having reached the lifespan limit of this world, unless they ignited the divine fire and changed their life essence, they would die naturally.


    This time, Lin Yuan did not use the world''s power within his internal world to dy his parents'' deaths because it was meaningless. A yearter, when he returned, they would still be dead.


    Living one more year or one less year did not make much difference.


    Moreover, Longshan Fang and his wife had no fear before their deaths. They were proud of having a son who established an era, which was a tremendous honor.


    In the Human Realm.


    The ruins of Longshan City.


    In front of the Longshan family cemetery.


    Lin Yuan appeared, this time not as his two primordial spirits but as his true self.


    Standing in front of Longshan Fang and his wife''s tombstone, Lin Yuan''s expression was calm, showing no joy or sorrow, just standing quietly.


    Around the cemetery, important members of the Longshan family came and went. Given that Longshan Fang and his wife were the parents of Longshan Yuan, their status in the family was unshakable.


    Their deaths even brought divine avatars of martial gods from the Martial World to pay their respects.


    However, no one saw Lin Yuan standing in front of the tombstone, as if they were in different dimensions.


    Lin Yuan looked at the tombstone. Though he was not truly Longshan Yuan, he had developed feelings over the years.


    "You have left, and in a year, I will leave too." Lin Yuan murmured. In a year, his stay in this transmigration would end.


    Unless Lin Yuan was willing to spend ten threads of boundary-breaking source power to descend again, he would not have the opportunity to return.


    "I should prepare my final arrangements." Lin Yuan stood in front of his parents'' tombstone for a long time before silently disappearing.


    In the Martial World.


    Longshan City.


    Although there were fewer than a hundred martial gods in the Longshan family, the construction of Longshan City was extremely luxurious, far surpassing Wanxiang City.


    The first member of the Longshan family to be a martial god was named Longshan Quan. As for the likes of Longshan Ling and others, they had not yet ignited the divine fire.


    Though not yet dead, they did not have many years left and were spending their remaining time in the human realm.


    In the Martial World, the many martial gods of the Longshan family were led by Longshan Quan, who had a significant influence as the first martial god of the family.


    In the Longshan Hall.


    Longshan Quan and several other martial gods of the Longshan family gathered to discuss.


    "Ancestor is too benevolent, giving so many opportunities to outsiders." Longshan Quan''s expression showed dissatisfaction. Over the years, his dislike for the martial gods of Wanxiang City had grown.


    The Martial World was created by their ancestor and should have been the private domain of the Longshan family. Yet, it was overrun by outsiders.


    Several other martial gods nodded in agreement. They had long considered the Martial World their backyard. How could the martial gods of Wanxiang City be worthy of sharing the same space?


    Suddenly.


    A figure silently appeared beside them.


    "Ancestor."


    "Ancestor Longshan."


    Seeing this, Longshan Quan and the other martial gods of the Longshan family immediately bowed respectfully.


    "Ancestor, you are finally willing to see us." Longshan Quan said excitedly.


    Since ascending to the Martial World a hundred years ago, he had only seen Lin Yuan once. Despite several attempts to visit, he received no response.


    Lin Yuan gazed at Longshan Hall and Longshan City, speaking calmly, "The Longshan family flourished because of me. I do not want it to decline because of me."


    "Ancestor, how could the Longshan family decline because of you? Your power is the greatest in history. You created the Martial World and weed martial gods. The reverence for you among human beings surpasses even that for the gods."


    Longshan Quan was puzzled.


    As long as Lin Yuan existed, the Longshan family''s status was unquestionable, almost an ironw.


    "But I will also leave," Lin Yuan continued.


    "Leave?" Longshan Quan was stunned. "Where are you going, Ancestor? When will you return?"


    The other martial gods exchanged confused looks.


    "I will not return." Lin Yuan said softly.


    "Not return?" Longshan Quan was shocked. Lin Yuan was the pir of the Longshan family and this world. His sudden disappearance would cause unimaginable upheaval.


    The impact on the Longshan family would be devastating.


    "Yes, I will not return." Lin Yuan looked at the martial gods of the Longshan family. "So, from now on, the Longshan family must not be too harsh on the martial gods from other ns."


    Though Lin Yuan cared only about the spread of martial cultivation, he had never been concerned with the rise and fall of the Longshan family.


    Before leaving, he still gave a few reminders.


    "Ancestor..." Longshan Quan''s face turned pale, looking at Lin Yuan with pleading eyes.


    He realized that Lin Yuan''s words might be true, that the Longshan family would lose its greatest support.


    "Since I am leaving, I will leave something behind." Lin Yuan extended his right hand, and three crystals emitting profound auras floated in the air.


    "What is this?"


    Longshan Quan was stunned, then his body began to tremble uncontrobly.


    Main god cores.


    These were main god cores.


    Since Lin Yuan killed the twenty-four main gods, the twenty-four main god cores had not been seen again.


    Despite longing for the main god cores, no one dared to seek them, knowing they were in the hands of the Longshan family chief.


    "These three main god cores will remain with the Longshan family. When you reach the peak of the upper god, you can attempt to refine them."


    Lin Yuan said.


    Havingprehended all twenty-four main god cores, they were no longer of much use to Lin Yuan.


    Main god cores are the ''keys'' to the rules of this world. If taken out of this world, they would automatically copse, and new main god cores would reform somewhere within the world.


    Therefore, Before returning to the main world, Lin Yuan naturally had to arrange the main god cores'' cements.


    "With these three main god cores, the Longshan family can prosper for millions, even tens of millions of years."


    Lin Yuan looked at the excited Longshan Quan.


    With these three main god cores, the Longshan family would have the equivalent of three main god-level powerhouses in the future.


    This foundation would make it extremely difficult for anyone to shake the Longshan family, unless another person like Lin Yuan appeared.


    As long as the Longshan family did not self-destruct and remained cautious and humble, their glory would not diminish.


    "Thank you, Ancestor."


    "Thank you, Ancestor."


    Longshan Quan immediately knelt, and the other martial gods followed suit.


    "As for the remaining twenty-one main god cores, I will release one periodically for the other martial gods topete for."


    "The Longshan family should not involve itself in thispetition."


    Lin Yuan continued.


    He did not n to leave all twenty-four main god cores with the Longshan family, as that would make their status unchallengeable and create a monopolistic situation among martial cultivators.


    This would not benefit the development of martial cultivation.


    To truly advance martial cultivation, it required the flourishing of multiple schools, not a single dominant family. Without Lin Yuan''s restraint, the Longshan family would undoubtedly suppress other martial talents.


    "Understood."


    Although the martial gods of the Longshan family were reluctant, they had no choice but toply with the Ancestor''s decision.


    "Ancestor..." Longshan Quan started to speak but realized the figure before him had vanished, leaving only three main god cores floating quietly.


    "Ancestor has left." Longshan Quan stood in a daze.


    "Ancestor is too benevolent." The other martial gods looked longingly at the three main god cores but dared not make a move.


    Who knew if the Ancestor was still watching them from the shadows?


    "Indeed, Ancestor is benevolent." Longshan Quan sighed. "But since the Ancestor has decided, the Longshan family will follow his words, restrain our members, andpletely abandon thepetition for the other main god cores."


    "Understood."


    The martial gods of the Longshan family nodded in agreement.


    In the depths of countless spaceyers.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    "I have done everything I needed to do." Lin Yuan looked down, gazing at the Martial World, the Sea of Light, the Abyss of Darkness, and the human realm.


    "Now, it is time to return to the source."


    Beside Lin Yuan, two figures appeared¡ªthe Yin Primordial Spirit and the Yang Primordial Spirit.


    Simultaneously,


    The ''bell-shaped'' original fine gold floated before him, slowly rising and falling, emitting a mysterious aura.


    Swish.


    The forms of the Yang Primordial Spirit and the Yin Primordial Spirit began to disintegrate, turning into the purest energy and merging into the original fine gold, and so did Lin Yuan''s true body.


    Because the true body and the two primordial spirits were so powerful, even the process of disintegration was slow.


    A yearter.


    As the physical body, soul, and internal world turned into the final energy and merged into the Essence gold, the projection of the Gate of Myriad Realms in Lin Yuan''s mind began to shine brightly.


    "It''s time to go back."


    Lin Yuan''s mind and will poured into the Gate of Myriad Realms, disappearing from this world.

 Chapter 328

    Mysterious Realm of Mysterious Emperor


    Deep within multipleyers of space, two presences were engaged in a chase. It was evident that the pursuer was far stronger than the one fleeing. As time passed, the escapee''s aura gradually weakened.


    However, each time the pursuer closed in, the escapee managed to slip through the cracks between theyers of space.


    This scenario resembled a hundred-meter giant chasing an ant, with thetter using the terrain to its advantage to evade capture to some extent. However, the pursuit and escape between ninth-rank powerhouses, traversing multipleyers of space, were far moreplex than a singleyer chase.


    Even in the unique environment of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, the longer the chase, the more spaceyers the stronger party upied, narrowing the space the escapee could maneuver in.


    Eventually, the escapee would be like a bird in a cage,pletely trapped, and capture would be inevitable.


    "It''s been two and a half years."


    Xi Lan seized an opportunity, crossing from one spaceyer to another, temporarily widening the gap between himself and Huny. But it was only temporary; within half an hour, Huny would catch up again.


    "I can feel it¡ªmore and more spaceyers are being upied. My room to maneuver is getting smaller."Xi Lan sighed inwardly. This was the disparity brought about by absolute strength. He had developed fewer than a million spaceyers, while Huny, the strongest ninth-rank life form of the pinnacle race Tianyu, had developed over thirty million!


    If it weren''t for the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm suppressing any teleportation techniques, and Xi Lan burning everything, including his mind and will, to achieve a significant power boost, he would have been captured by Huny long ago.


    Even so, Xi Lan felt he might not hold out much longer. Huny was about topletely upy all the nearby spaceyers, and Xi Lan''s mind and will were nearly exhausted.


    "Just half a year more."


    Xi Lan steadied himself, ncing at the corner of his internal world where Lin Yuan sat with eyes closed. He trusted Lin Yuan implicitly. Since the Milky Way Lord had said that as long as they held out for three years, reinforcements from his ''senior'' would arrive, Xi Lan had never doubted it.


    "I wonder which powerhouse from our human civilization is the senior of the Milky Way Lord?" Xi Lan was curious. The Milky Way Lord''s teacher was the Red Kun Star Lord, but the Red Kun Star Lord was only invincible at the eighth rank.


    Even if he broke through to the ninth rank, he wouldn''t be able to provide the needed support. For a newly ascended ninth-rank evolver, facing someone like Huny, the strongest ninth-rank life form of a pinnacle race, would be a death sentence.


    Xi Lan himself had managed to hold on by burning everything and using escape techniques from a supreme evolutionary path of human civilization, along with the unique environment of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    "If not the Red Kun Star Lord, then it should be one of our human civilization''s ninth-rank powerhouses who have developed over twenty million spaceyers," Xi Lan thought, musing on the possible identity of the mysterious senior. This spection was his only entertainment during the chase.


    To rescue them from Huny, ordinary ninth-rank evolvers at the ten-millionyer level would not suffice. They needed someone with at least twenty million spaceyers to hold Huny off and buy time for their safe retreat.


    "Twenty million spaceyers¡­" Xi Lan sighed. The further one advanced in the ninth rank, the more difficult it became to develop additional spaceyers.


    Developing spaceyers was just the surface; the real challengey in understanding the essence of space. Without sufficientprehension, maintaining theyers would be impossible, and they would copse even if forcefully created.


    Truthfully, Xi Lan had a certain respect for Huny, who had developed far more than ten million spaceyers, because he understood the difficulty involved.


    Just then, Huny''s voice transmitted from behind.


    "Xi Lan, I know you''re desperately escaping to buy time, hoping to keep the treasures you''ve obtained in the secret realm."


    "I can promise you this: hand over the Milky Way Lord, and I''ll let you leave. You can keep all the treasures you''ve found in the secret realm."


    Huny continued, "You know what my promise means. Even though we are on opposing sides, I will keep my word."


    Huny was growing impatient with the chase. If this dragged on, he might waste another three to five months. His sole target had always been to kill the Milky Way Lord''s avatar, to exact some revenge for recent battlefield grudges. Xi Lan was never his main concern.


    "Ha ha ha ha! You birdmen think you can sow discord between me and the Milky Way Lord?" Xi Lan was unmoved.


    As an evolver of human civilization, Xi Lan was well aware of his roots. His biggest crisis was merely losing this avatar and the treasures he''d gained in the secret realm.


    Betraying the Milky Way Lord? Not only would that mean betraying human civilization, but given the Milky Way Lord''s current potential and talent, Xi Lan would have to be a fool to do so.


    On the contrary, fighting alongside the Milky Way Lord and dying in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm would only deepen their bond.


    "Very well, then prepare to lose this avatar," Huny said, giving up on persuasion. Throughout the two-year chase, he had transmitted his voice many times, only to be met with mockery from Xi Lan.


    "The escape techniques of the Void Evolution Path are indeed formidable," Huny''s expression grew solemn as he elerated his upation of the spaceyers.


    The Void Evolution Path was Xi Lan''s chosen evolutionary path, one of the nine supreme evolutionary paths of human civilization. The ultimate existence of this path was the Void God, one of human civilization''s nine Strongest Ones.


    The Void God might not be as formidable inbat as the Supreme War God or the Supreme Ancient One, but his mastery of the void was unmatched among the nine Strongest Ones.


    In human civilization, the paths with the most cultivators were those of the nine Strongest Ones. Despite these paths having reached their ultimate form, most human evolvers had no intention or ability to challenge the ultimate level.


    To them, the supreme evolutionary paths were mature, perfect, and if they had the talent, they would naturally choose one of these paths.


    Xi Lan had a natural talent for space, with a special spatial attribute physique, allowing him to utilize numerous escape techniques from the Void Evolution Path, thus surviving Huny''s pursuit until now.


    "It''s almost over."


    Huny refocused. No matter how exquisite the Void Evolution Path''s escape techniques were, they still required space to maneuver. After two or three years of continuous upation of spaceyers, Huny was close to trapping Xi Lanpletely.


    Huny''s pursuit also attracted the attention of other nearby ninth-rank powerhouses.


    "Isn''t that Huny of the Tianyu n, reputed to be their strongest ninth-rank of this era? Who is he chasing?"


    "Don''t you know? The one being chased is Xi Lan, a ninth-rank evolver from human civilization. But Huny''s real target is the Milky Way Lord, who is with Xi Lan."


    "The Milky Way Lord? The youngest ninth-rank in human civilization''s history, who recently caused the Tianyu n to lose face on the battlefield?"


    "Indeed."


    Ninth-rank powerhouses in the vicinity watched from a distance, observing the spatial fluctuations. Huny''s pursuit was not concealed, and the spatial waves were easily detectable.


    "The Milky Way Lord is being chased?"


    Some ninth-rank powerhouses with amicable rtions to human civilization considered intervening. Saving the Milky Way Lord could win them favor with this prodigious talent.


    But they knew Huny''s strength was overwhelming. Those who wanted to curry favor with Lin Yuan and human civilizationcked the power to hold Huny at bay.


    In the cosmic starfield, human civilization was one of the few pinnacle races, a colossal entity with both enemies and allies. Beyond their established grand alliance, many other races sought to avoid offending or even wished to befriend human civilization.


    "Ha ha ha, Huny has been chasing Xi Lan for over two years. The Milky Way Lord must be hiding in Xi Lan''s internal world. I''ve heard Xi Lan cultivates the Void Evolution Path¡ªtruly impressive."


    "Being chased for over two years, the Milky Way Lord is truly pitiful!"


    "I wonder what the Milky Way Lord is holding out for. Xi Lan must have used secret techniques affecting his true self to hold on this long. Could it be that a special ninth-rank from human civilization ising to their aid?"


    "I haven''t heard of any nearby human ninth-rank close to Huny''s level."


    Various ninth-rank powerhouses, across different spaceyers, discussed with interest. Both the pursuer and the pursued were well-known, making the spectacle all the more engaging.


    Huny''s reputation was widespread among ninth-rank circles, while the Milky Way Lord, though newly ascended to the ninth rank, was highly regarded due to his prodigious talent and the prestige of human civilization.


    On the other side of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    A human evolver in a purple robe traversed the spaceyers rapidly. His name was Doko, the strongest ninth-rank life form of human civilization in this era, having developed 39 million spaceyers.


    "Hold on a bit longer. Once I arrive, Huny will pay the price!"


    Doko was heading toward Huny''s location. As the strongest ninth-rank of their respective pinnacle races, Doko and Huny often shed. Doko, having developed more spaceyers, usually held the upper hand.


    Upon learning of Huny''s pursuit of the Milky Way Lord two years ago, Doko had rushed to help. Normally, the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm suppressed all teleportation, forcing any powerhouse to fly slowly.


    Doko was far from Huny''s location when he received the news, making it nearly impossible to reach in three years.


    Nevertheless, Doko did not hesitate to go.


    "Huny, if you dare kill the Milky Way Lord''s avatar, the Tianyu n''s ninth-ranks won''t survive the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm."


    Doko thought grimly. Typically, special ninth-rank powerhouses in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm wouldn''t waste time hunting each other, as it consumed too much time and effort. The realm was vast, with limited opportunities, and the chase could take months or years.


    But Huny daring to hunt down human civilization''s prodigy couldn''t be tolerated. Doko would rather forsake the realm''s opportunities than allow such an affront.


    Deep within the spaceyers.


    Mado, another observer, watched the chase from afar.


    Huny had been pursuing Xi Lan and the Milky Way Lord for over two years. Upon hearing the news, ''Maduo'' walker had also rushed over.


    "The Milky Way Lord is really unlucky."


    ''Maduo'' walker thought. He had warned the Milky Way Lord, who should have tried to avoid Huny. The Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm''s unique environment meant that even if Huny found the Milky Way Lord''s location one moment, the Lord could likely disappear the next, unless they happened to meet directly.


    "But... the Old Ancestor values the Milky Way Lord so much that he gave me a trump card to block Huny and save the Milky Way Lord."


    ''Maduo'' walker shook his head slightly. As the most favored offspring of the Ancient God Old Ancestor, ''Maduo'' walker was highly cherished. He had been given a life-saving trump card upon entering the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    Once activated, this trump card could trap even special ninth-ranks who had developed 50 million or 80 million spaceyers.


    "The Old Ancestor said not to use the trump card directly but to wait until the critical moment when the Milky Way Lord is about to be captured by Huny. Only then would it earn the greatest gratitude from the Milky Way Lord."


    ''Maduo'' walker recalled the Old Ancestor''s instructions, finding them quite reasonable.


    "It''s almost time." ''Maduo'' walker observed for a while longer, noting that Xi Lan''s escape was slowing. He readied himself to use the trump card at the decisive moment.


    Inside Xi Lan''s Internal World.


    Lin Yuan silently opened his eyes.


    "I''m back."


    His gaze deep, memories of a thousand years in the world of the gods shed through his mind like a dream.


    Swish.


    Sensing Lin Yuan''s movement, Xi Lan immediately sent down his consciousness avatar to appear nearby.


    "Xi Lan." Lin Yuan smiled. Sessfullypleting this transmigration relied heavily on Xi Lan''s perseverance. Without him, Lin Yuan would have had to prematurely end the transmigration or abandon his avatar in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    Both options would have resulted in significant losses.


    "Milky Way Lord." Xi Lan''s aura was weak, but he mustered his strength to respond.


    They exchanged a few words before Xi Lan cautiously asked, "Milky Way Lord, has your senior arrived?"


    "Senior?" Lin Yuan nced at Xi Lan.


    ...

 Chapter 329

    Before Lin Yuan attempted his ninth transmigration, he mentioned that a senior was on the way to give Xi Lan hope. This wasn''t entirely fabricated since the term ''senior'' implied someone capable of opposing Huny.


    As long as Lin Yuan safely passed his ninth transmigration and significantly increased his power, he himself would be that ''senior.''


    In Lin Yuan''s initial expectations before transmigration, even without the aid of divinity, he could potentially cultivate to the ninth rank and ten million spaceyers within the thousand years of transmigration.


    With his inner world''s vast size of over a 100M miles, he might still match Huny in overall strength despite any gaps in spaceyer development.


    Moreover, the actual gains from this transmigration far exceeded Lin Yuan''s pre-transmigration expectations.


    "Inner world."


    Lin Yuan also observed his inner world.


    Upon returning, his inner world''s size hadn''t changed, as it required fully absorbing the liquid from the mysterious gourd to restore it to nearly 200M miles. However, the depth of the inner world, or the spaceyers, expanded at a terrifying speed, reaching millions and tens of millions ofyers.


    Developing spaceyers required profound understanding of spatial essence. With Lin Yuan''s currentprehension, he could rapidly restore to 2.331 billionyers."Let''s go outside."


    Lin Yuan nced up, and with his mastery over spaceyers, he could easily see the outside world, even if isted within Xi Lan''s inner world.


    "Go outside?"


    Xi Lan was confused. Could it be that Lin Yuan''s ''senior'' had arrived? Yet, Xi Lan sensed no approaching aura of a ninth-rank powerhouse. Although many ninth-rank aliens were observing from a distance, their auras didn''t seem capable of restraining Huny.


    In the next moment, under Xi Lan''s watchful eyes, Lin Yuan''s figure vanished from the original spot.


    "Has the Milky Way Star Lord gone out?"


    Seeing this, Xi Lan was taken aback. In his inner world, without his permission, how could the Milky Way Star Lord have left?


    Xi Lan, as the creator of his inner world, was akin to a god within it, controlling all its power.


    Even a ninth-rank like Huny, with over 30 million spaceyers, would need to shatter the inner world to escape if Xi Lan disapproved. Leaving silently?


    Perhaps a tenth or eleventh-rank could, as their understanding of spatial essence was unfathomable, bypassing Xi Lan''s control.


    But how did Lin Yuan leave? Xi Lan was baffled but quickly realized the Milky Way Star Lord had left, and Huny was hunting outside. Without Xi Lan helping Lin Yuan escape, he would be captured instantly by Huny.


    "Not good."


    Xi Lan''s consciousness dissipated within the inner world.


    Outside, Xi Lan was evading Huny using various void evolution techniques, slipping through the gaps between spaceyers.


    Suddenly¡ª


    Swoosh.


    Lin Yuan appeared beside Xi Lan.


    Huny, who was in pursuit, was momentarily stunned, then overjoyed. If Lin Yuan had stayed in Xi Lan''s inner world, he might have survived a bit longer under Huny''s pursuit. But now,ing out and standing still?


    Swoosh.


    Xi Lan, who had fled far away, returned to Lin Yuan''s side.


    "Milky Way Star Lord." Xi Lan''s expression was grave. He could keenly sense that the moment they stopped, Huny had seized the opportunity topletely lock all surrounding spaceyers. Now, Xi Lan and the Milky Way Star Lord were like fish in a barrel, at Huny''s mercy.


    Simultaneously, many ninth-rank aliens watching from afar noticed the Milky Way Star Lord revealing himself without any intention of escaping.


    "Has the Milky Way Star Lord given up hope, not even trying to escape?"


    "It seems so. He should have known earlier that escaping Huny''s pursuit was futile if no same-tier human evolvers were nearby, just a waste of time."


    "Yes, if he had self-destructed his clone at the start, by now he might have half-consolidated his second clone."


    The ninth-rank aliens continued to discuss, still unwilling to disperse. Witnessing the fall of a peerless genius from human civilization, even just a clone, was a rare event. Human civilization cherished their geniuses, often heavily protecting them.


    Even in alien battlefields, high-ranking evolvers would specifically watch over them. But in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, no tenth-rank or higher could enter, not even the strongest ones could spy.


    Here, human civilization''s geniuses faced many dangers alone, like now, with the Milky Way Star Lord against Huny''s pursuit.


    "It''s almost the critical moment." Deep within the spaceyers, Maduo Walker also grew tense, raising his right hand as a vortex resembling a ck hole slowly rotated.


    This life-saving trump card came from his Ancient God ancestor, containing part of the essence of time rules. His Ancient God ancestor was immensely old, having longprehended theplete time rules.


    Even so, creating this life-saving trump card came at a significant cost. Compared to human civilization''s reproductive abilities, those Ancient Gods in the depths of the universe were mostly born as special beings.


    Their innate talents were terrifyingly strong, but their reproductive abilities were exceedingly weak. Some unique life forms couldn''t reproduce at all, having no kin across the vast universe.


    Thus, Maduo Walker''s Ancient God ancestor highly valued this descendant, willing to pay the price to create this trump card.


    In the deep space of the universe, Maduo Walker''s true body immediately informed the ancestor of the situation in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord revealed himself?" The Ancient God ancestor''s massive body affected surrounding time and space as he stroked his chin, saying, "When the Milky Way Star Lord is on the brink of life and death, activate the ''Time ck Hole'' I gave you."


    "I understand"


    "Don''t hesitate for a moment."


    The Ancient God ancestor reminded, as acting toote would waste the effort if the Milky Way Star Lord was killed by Huny. Acting too early, the Milky Way Star Lord wouldn''t feel desperate, making the assistance less impactful.


    "Understood, ancestor."


    "I''m ready at all times."


    Maduo Walker nodded. Although he didn''t understand why the ancestor valued the Milky Way Star Lord so much, willing to offend the Tianyu n, the ancestor had long navigated among several top ns, thriving due to his insight. Even two strongest ones had been aided by him before their rise.


    "Hahaha, Milky Way Star Lord, seems you know your fate."


    Huny quickly sealed the surrounding spaceyers, rxing as he faced the calm Lin Yuan. In the space he locked, even a same-tier human couldn''t help. He could easily move Lin Yuan into his inner world.


    Now, Huny, ready to humiliate the Milky Way Star Lord, didn''t kill immediately. He knew the Milky Way Star Lord could self-destruct his clone in a moment, so he savored the situation.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, still not self-destructing? Still defiant?" Huny mocked.


    Knowing the Milky Way Star Lord''s talent could surpass him one day, Huny didn''t care now, as he could crush him.


    "Huny." Lin Yuan looked at Huny, shaking his head, "You''re too weak now."


    "Too weak?" Hunyughed, thinking Lin Yuan vented before death.


    Even tenth-rank experts wouldn''t call him weak. To reach over 30 million spaceyers at ninth rank wasn''tmon.


    "I don''t even want to talk to you." Lin Yuan sighed.


    Initially, he thought of mocking Huny after transmigration, but now, their gap was so vast, he lost interest.


    "No interest in talking?!" Huny chuckled, about to respond.


    Next moment, Huny''s expression changed dramatically.


    In an instant, the spaceyers he controlled were forcibly expelled by a near-brutal force. Fear crossed his face.


    Within a breath, he lost control over all surrounding spaceyers, which were now upied by a power far exceeding his 30 millionyers.


    "You?" Huny sweated coldly, staring at Lin Yuan in disbelief as that power came from the Milky Way Star Lord.


    "Die." Lin Yuan''s expression was calm, and with a thought, countless spaceyers pressed down.


    "How?" Huny felt immense fear, immediately self-destructing his clone.


    If he didn''t, he felt he''d be captured by the Milky Way Star Lord, and if taken back to human territory, he''d face a real death through curse-killing techniques or memory poisons.


    In the Tianyu n''s territory, Huny''s true body opened his eyes, filled with disbelief.


    "What happened?"


    "How could the Milky Way Star Lord have such power?"


    "I sensed he upied far more than 30 millionyers. No, at least 100 millionyers. Otherwise, he couldn''t suppress me with spaceyers alone?"


    Huny couldn''t believe it. 100 millionyers? Even in Tianyu n''s history, no ninth-rank life could reach such a level.


    In the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, Xi Lan, initially in despair, watched Huny forced to self-destruct by Lin Yuan and was stunned.


    What happened?


    What just happened?


    Xi Lan''s mind was nk.


    "Milky Way Star Lord." Xi Lan instinctively looked at Lin Yuan, knowing Huny''s self-destruction was rted to him.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord upied all surrounding spaceyers?" Xi Lan sensed the overwhelming spaceyers under Lin Yuan''s control, feeling pressure far beyond Huny''s pursuit.


    "It''s over."


    "Huny is dealt with."


    Lin Yuan summoned Huny''s space ring into his hand.


    "Dealt with?"


    Xi Lan felt like dreaming. He had imagined many scenarios: both dying by Huny''s hands, Lin Yuan''s ''senior'' arriving, a friendly ninth-rank alien intervening, or a terrifying native life form appearing to distract Huny. But he never thought Lin Yuan would force Huny''s self-destruction so effortlessly.


    Far away, the observing ninth-rank aliens were equally shocked.


    "Huny self-destructed?"


    "What happened? Why self-destruct?"


    "Of course, it''s the Milky Way Star Lord. All nearby spaceyers are under his control. His power far surpasses Huny, forcing self-destruction."


    The watching ninth-rank aliens buzzed with discussion, not expecting such a turn of events. The seemingly dominant Huny was forced to self-destruct, while the Milky Way Star Lord showed near-unbelievable power.


    In the deep space of the universe, Maduo Walker''s true body was stunned, witnessing the scene in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    "What happened?"


    "Did you use the ''Time ck Hole'' I gave you?"


    The nearby Ancient God ancestor immediately asked, expecting Huny to shame and quickly kill the Milky Way Star Lord. At that moment, Maduo Walker was supposed to use the ''Time ck Hole'' to trap Huny and save the Milky Way Star Lord, earning his favor.


    "No." Maduo Walker, silent for a moment, replied.


    "No?" The Ancient God ancestor, annoyed, said, "Why not use the ''Time ck Hole''? Was it too precious?"


    "Foolish!"


    "I can create more such items, but missing the Milky Way Star Lord''s favor after this realm, will you have another chance?"


    The Ancient God ancestor, frustrated, scolded Maduo Walker.


    "Ancestor," Maduo Walker shrunk back, "I intended to use it."


    "Then why didn''t you?" The Ancient God ancestor raised his voice, ready to scold further.


    "Because Huny died, killed by the Milky Way Star Lord." Maduo Walker, regainingposure, said, "I didn''t have time."


    "The Milky Way Star Lord killed Huny?"


    The Ancient God ancestor fell silent, staring at Maduo Walker, filled with uncertainty.


    ...

 Chapter 330

    "Ancestor, I''m telling the truth," Maduo Walker quickly added when he saw the look on his Ancient God Ancestor''s face. "I saw it with my own eyes."


    Maduo Walker could see his Ancestor''s skepticism.


    In fact, not only the Ancestor, even Maduo Walker himself found it hard to believe when he witnessed Huny self-destructing in front of the Milky Way Star Lord. He instinctively doubted that the cause of Huny''s death was anything but Lin Yuan''s doing.


    Perhaps some hidden expert had intervened, or maybe the Milky Way Star Lord had used some powerful weapon? But after ruling out all other possibilities, he reluctantly epted that it was indeed Lin Yuan who had forced Huny to self-destruct.


    Although Huny died by his own self-destruction, it was clear that without the pressure from the Milky Way Star Lord, Huny wouldn''t have done so. Therefore, it was fair to say that Lin Yuan killed Huny.


    This act only highlighted the Milky Way Star Lord''s terrifying power. Huny, the strongest ninth-rank life form of the Tianyu n, didn''t even dare to engage inbat and chose to self-destruct, indicating he felt he could be thoroughly suppressed at any moment.


    To avoid letting his clone fall into human hands, he decisively chose self-destruction.


    In battles between powerful beings, the easiest oue is to defeat the opponent, the next is to kill them, and the hardest is to suppress them.


    Suppression means capturing alive, rendering the opponent unable to resist or evenmit suicide, a scenario rarely seen among beings of equal rank. Even when Huny chased Xi Lan, he aimed to kill the clone rather than suppress it."I understand now," said the Ancient God Ancestor, nodding. Just a few breaths ago, he had confirmed with several Tianyu n lords that Huny indeed died in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm at the hands of the Milky Way Star Lord.


    "Show me the scene," the Ancestor ordered.


    The Tianyu n lords only confirmed the fact but didn''t provide details about what exactly Huny faced. The Ancestor sensed that this incident caused a significant stir within the Tianyu n, rming even the tenth and eleventh-rank lords and several ancestral beings.


    Huny''s death alone wouldn''t cause such amotion. The key was how he died and what the Milky Way Star Lord used.


    Originally, the Milky Way Star Lord was already on the assassination lists of various alien races as the youngest ninth-rank in human history. His current disy of overwhelming power even worried the Tianyu n.


    When he advances to the tenth or even eleventh rank, who could suppress him on the battlefield without intervention from the strongest ones?


    "Okay," Maduo Walker nodded, aware of the gravity of the situation. The Milky Way Star Lord''s power was so extraordinary that it seemed he intended to break the myth of the ''special ninth-rank'' as he did at the eighth rank.


    Special ninth-ranks are those who have developed over 20 million spaceyers, possessing the ability to advance to the tenth rank but choosing to continue expanding their spaceyers instead.


    These beings are much stronger than ordinary ninth-ranks with ten millionyers, thus earning the title ''special ninth-ranks.''


    Maduo Walker moved his hands, showing the scene in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm where the Milky Way Star Lord revealed himself and forced Huny to self-destruct.


    Although these scenes only reflected Maduo Walker''s perspective, the Ancestor could still glean some truth from them.


    "Hmm?" The Ancient God Ancestor''s expression grew heavier as he watched, especially before Huny''s self-destruction.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord must have upied at least 100 million spaceyers," the Ancestor concluded. The exact number was unclear due to Maduo Walker''s limited perception, but it was clear the spaceyer fluctuations were immense.


    "100 millionyers? At least?" Maduo Walker took a deep breath. As a ninth-rank himself, even though his talent wasn''t as terrifying as the Ancestor''s, he had developed nearly a millionyers.


    He knew the difficulty of developing spaceyers deeply. The essence of space often left him with a headache. If even a millionyers were that challenging, how much more so were 100 millionyers?


    Developing spaceyers isn''t a simple one-plus-one equation. Expanding a millionyers might take ten thousand years, but expanding to 100 millionyers doesn''t just proportionally extend the time needed. The difficulty rises exponentially.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord''s talent is the strongest I''ve ever seen among all beings," the Ancestor sighed.


    As an eleventh-rank peak being whoprehended theplete time rules, the Ancestor could deduce that the Milky Way Star Lord must have had a great opportunity, otherwise, he wouldn''t have turned the tables so quickly.


    Such opportunities often rte to time, like ''Great Dream of Eternity'' or ''Outside the World,'' utilizing exaggerated time flow to achieve rapid power leaps.


    These methods are known in the circles of tenth and eleventh ranks, especially among peak ns. Otherwise, how could human civilization, which left its home only 2.4 million years ago, produce so many terrifying powerhouses?


    Two million years is just the time flow of the main universe. The actual time experienced by those tenth and eleventh-rank human powerhouses is another story. But regardless of the time experienced, some things aren''t achievable just by having more time.


    Developing a billion spaceyers isn''t something even a genius like Huny could achieve, even given a billion or ten billion years. The essence of space rules bes infinitely obscure when the time flow differs from the main universe.


    Withoutprehension of the main universe''s space rules, it''s practically impossible to develop spaceyers out of nothing.


    "Ancestor," Maduo Walker was also profoundly shaken. The Ancient God Ancestor had lived for countless ages, even aiding two yet-to-be strongest ones.


    He had seen many exceptional talents and unique beings. Yet now, he imed that the Milky Way Star Lord was the most talented and gifted being he had ever encountered?


    "Ancestor, are you saying the Milky Way Star Lord could be a strongest one?" Maduo Walker trembled. The strongest? He had just recently interacted with the Milky Way Star Lord.


    "Not necessarily," the Ancestor shook his head. Bing the strongest one requires more than talent. It involves numerous factors and crucially, luck. The two strongest ones the Ancestor aided didn''t have exceptionally superior talentspared to many unique beings, yet they stood at the universe''s peak.


    "But at least, the Milky Way Star Lord''s chances of bing the strongest are greater than most beings," the Ancestor added.


    While talent alone doesn''t guarantee bing the strongest, it provides powerful strength that can secure more resources and opportunities, aiding the journey to bing the strongest.


    "However," the Ancestor''s expression showed a hint of regret, "You missed such a great opportunity?"


    Maduo Walker, with the ''Time ck Hole'' that could trap a special ninth-rank, could have proactively saved the Milky Way Star Lord before he acted. Even if the Milky Way Star Lord didn''t need saving, it would still have earned a favor.


    "Ancestor, you told me to act only at the crucial moment," Maduo Walker felt wronged.


    "Can''t you judge some things for yourself?" The Ancestor gave him a stern look.


    Human civilization, virtual world.


    In a private virtual world, several ninth-rank evolvers were chatting.


    Ninth-rank evolvers have extremely strong mental wills, easily multitasking, and entering the virtual world to rx doesn''t interfere with their activities.


    "Huny from the Tianyu n is so despicable, chasing the Milky Way Star Lord after cultivating for countless millennia," one ninth-rank said. Most of their clones were in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, discussing its events.


    "Unfortunately, our human civilization''s special ninth-ranks are too far away to help in time," another ninth-rank sighed.


    The Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm was vast and suppressed any teleportation, making rescue efforts slow.


    "Doko has already announced that if the Milky Way Star Lord faces any problems, he will spend the rest of the Secret Realm''s duration hunting down the Tianyu n''s ninth-ranks," the third ninth-rank added.


    Doko was the strongest ninth-rank evolver of this era in human civilization, having developed nearly 40 million spaceyers, stronger than Huny.


    If Doko focused on hunting Tianyu n''s ninth-ranks, it would be significant, making them fear for their lives. But the others doubted Huny would relent, considering it a fair trade to sacrifice ordinary ninth-ranks to kill the Milky Way Star Lord once.


    "But even if the Milky Way Star Lord dies, he''ll only lose a clone and miss the Secret Realm''s opportunities. It''s not unbearable," the first ninth-rank noted.


    These elders sought the Secret Realm''s opportunities to progress further. But the young Milky Way Star Lord didn''t desperately need it.


    "I''m worried this incident might affect the Milky Way Star Lord''s state of mind," another ninth-rank said gravely.


    At this, the others frowned slightly. Indeed, if it were them, losing a clone to Huny wouldn''t matter much. But the Milky Way Star Lord was too young, having faced little adversity.


    Such a setback might significantly impact him. There were historical examples of such rare cases in human civilization, though the probability was low, but the Milky Way Star Lord was too important to human civilization.


    "Hopefully, the Milky Way Star Lord won''t be affected by this clone''s death..."


    Thest ninth-rank was about to continue when suddenly, they all received a message simultaneously.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord killed Huny?"


    "And with absolute dominance? Huny didn''t even dare to fight, directly self-destructing his clone?"


    "How is this possible?"


    The ninth-ranks were stunned. If they hadn''t received the message simultaneously and confirmed it multiple times, they would have thought it was a joke.


    "Milky Way Star Lord..."


    After a long pause, they exchanged amazed nces, unable to hide their shock.


    It was unbelievable. How did the Milky Way Star Lord do it?


    In the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, Doko, the strongest ninth-rank life form of this era in human civilization, had stopped moving. He had been trying to save the Milky Way Star Lord, though with little hope. But now?


    Doko was stunned.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord doesn''t need my help?"


    "Huny died at his hands?"


    Doko was dumbfounded. As a special ninth-rank, he had fought Huny many times and knew his strength. Defeating Huny was possible, but killing or forcing Huny to self-destruct? In Doko''s knowledge, no ninth-rank could achieve that without a tenth-rank''s help.


    "Did the Milky Way Star Lord break through to the tenth rank?" Doko spected, but quickly dismissed it. This was the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, repelling any life above the ninth rank.


    If the Milky Way Star Lord became a tenth-rank, he would be immediately expelled. "He''s not a tenth rank..." Doko was incredulous, unable to fathom how the Milky Way Star Lord aplished it.


    The events in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm couldn''t be hidden. Major races across the universe soon learned of it.


    "Again, the Milky Way Star Lord. He could y those invincible at the eighth rank, and now at the ninth rank, he''s targeting special ninth-ranks?"


    "Could the Milky Way Star Lord be a direct descendant of some strongest human? No, even a strongest one''s descendant shouldn''t be this monstrous."


    "He''s incredible. The Milky Way Star Lord is only about a hundred years old."


    Various races were astonished. The Milky Way Star Lord had already created numerous miracles, but now, shortly after advancing to the ninth rank, he shattered the myth of the special ninth-rank.


    Many races realized that in the long future, the shadow of the Milky Way Star Lord would loom over every ninth-rank.


    At the Milky Way''s main star, Lin Yuan was aware of the significant impact his killing of Huny would have on the universe''s races. But backed by human civilization, he had no need to hide his power.


    Besides, his killing of Huny was far from his full strength, merely using less than 200Myers, a far cry from his over 2 billion spaceyers.


    Swoosh.


    With a thought, a ''bell-shaped'' treasure appeared before Lin Yuan, emitting a mysterious aura.

 Chapter 331

    "Essence Gold." Lin Yuan carefully observed.


    After absorbing the main body and two primordial spirits in the world of gods, this treasure had undergone several transformations.


    The aura it now exuded was nearly on par with that of a tenth-rank treasure.


    "By activating the Soul Calming Bell along with the ''Elemental Body'' and ''Blood Rebirth'' protective techniques, my defense should beparable to a tenth rank, right?" Lin Yuan smiled.


    With over 2 billion spaceyers, Lin Yuan''s full-power eruption exceeded that of an ordinary tenth rank. In terms of spatial essenceprehension, he surpassed most tenth-rank experts. Regarding defense, using the Soul Calming Bell and two divine techniques, Lin Yuan feared no tenth-rank.


    In terms of direct defense, with Lin Yuan upying over 2 billion spaceyers, even a strong tenth rank would struggle to locate his true body, let alone attack it.


    "After this trip to the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, I''ll start preparing to break through to the tenth rank," Lin Yuan decided. He believed he had achieved the utmost in the ninth rank. Further developing spaceyers seemed unnecessary.


    With over 2 billion spaceyers, adding a few thousand more would make little difference. Additionally, the difficulty of developing spaceyers beyond 2 billion increased exponentially.


    "Huny had quite a few good things." Lin Yuan''s thoughts moved, and after killing Huny in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, he seized Huny''s spatial ring and nced at its contents.There were treasures, some ''Mysterious Emperor Crystals,'' and some opportunities obtained from the secret realm itself. The total value was around two million universe crystals. This was less than the typical value of a special ninth-rank, but considering it was a clone of Huny in the secret realm, it was normal not to carry too many precious treasures.


    Though strong beings with tens of millions of spaceyers had few rivals in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, it didn''t mean they were invincible. The core area held many dangers that could severely wound even special ninth-rank beings.


    In the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    With a thought, Lin Yuan took Xi Lan deep into the spaceyers.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, I don''t think I can make it." Xi Lan''s aura was waning, having burned his body, soul, and will for two and a half years.


    At this point, Xi Lan''s life signs had reached a nadir.


    "I''ll take your treasures back for you," Lin Yuan understood Xi Lan''s condition. In the outside world, with various universe wonders, he might be saved, but not in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    Even with such wonders, Xi Lan wouldn''t use them, as it was just a clone that could be reformed upon destruction. Wasting precious life-saving wonders was unnecessary.


    "Thank you, Milky Way Star Lord." Xi Lan nodded, his body quickly disintegrating.


    He could sustain a few more months, but there was no need. The sooner he disintegrated, the sooner he could form a new clone.


    "Brother Xi Lan," Lin Yuan put away Xi Lan''s spatial ring, deciding to share a portion of his gains from the core area with him.


    Without Xi Lan, Lin Yuan wouldn''t havested this long, and he had to acknowledge this debt.


    "The calling?" Lin Yuan looked towards the core area. With the exponential increase in his spaceyers, he better understood the calling.


    If Lin Yuan''s perception was correct, the calling came from a spaceyer in the core area.


    "Let''s go see."


    Lin Yuan quickly headed to the core area, not hiding his aura but rather deliberately showing it to attract the attention of native life forms.


    Under the calling, Lin Yuan had no time to hunt native life forms but could draw them to him for easy kills. With his current strength, he could sweep through the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, killing any native life forms that came his way.


    Boom, boom, boom.


    The agitation of the spaceyers even alerted nearby ninth-rank aliens.


    "Not good, that''s the Milky Way Star Lord."


    "Get away quickly. Even Huny died at his hands, forced to self-destruct."


    "Run, run, don''t let the Milky Way Star Lord spot us."


    "He''s heading to the core area?"


    "During this exploration, stay as far from the core area as possible."


    Countless ninth-rank aliens were terrified, especially those with strained rtions with human civilization, fearing discovery by the Milky Way Star Lord.


    Even some special ninth-ranks, upon sensing his aura, fled quickly, not daring to linger.


    What a joke.


    Huny died at the Milky Way Star Lord''s hands. Even if some special ninth-ranks were slightly stronger than Huny, the Milky Way Star Lord killed Huny without much effort.


    If he could easily kill Huny, killing them would be no trouble.


    Under such circumstances, those special ninth-ranks naturally fled as far as possible. Even those without major grievances with human civilization avoided getting too close to the Milky Way Star Lord.


    No one wanted to stay near someone who could kill them at any moment¡ªit was too risky.


    Moreover, every special ninth-rank that survived to this point had significant gains. To the Milky Way Star Lord, they were walking treasure troves.


    At the Milky Way''s main star.


    Lin Yuan was satisfied as he stored the Soul Calming Bell within himself, continuing to nurture it with world power.


    "Martial Path Ninth-Rank Chapter," Lin Yuan''s smile faded as he prepared to upload the Martial Path Ninth-Rank Chapter.


    This was something he needed to do after every transmigration, continuously updating the Martial Path evolution method to attract more evolvers to cultivate, aiding the ultimate leap forward.


    Of course, earning massive merit points and wealth was also a considerable gain.


    Uploading the Martial Path evolution method to the Wisdom Goddess didn''t mean selling its ownership. Lin Yuan remained the founder of the Martial Path evolution method, earning thirty percent of the proceeds from each sale.


    "Wisdom Goddess."


    Lin Yuan connected to the Wisdom Goddess.


    "Honored ninth-rank evolver, Milky Way Star Lord Lin Yuan, the Wisdom Goddess is pleased to serve you," a solemn, cold voice sounded in Lin Yuan''s ears almost instantly.


    "I want to upload the Martial Path Ninth-Rank Chapter," Lin Yuan said, then uploaded all the organized content of the Ninth-Rank Chapter.


    In addition, Lin Yuan also uploaded his summarized bloodline cultivation path as a branch of the Martial Path evolution method.


    "Honored ninth-rank evolver, Milky Way Star Lord Lin Yuan, please wait a moment. The uploaded Ninth-Rank Chapter and bloodline cultivation path are being evaluated," the Wisdom Goddess said, then fell silent.


    Lin Yuan expected this and waited patiently.


    In a mysterious virtual world.


    Nine majestic thrones stood tall.


    At this moment, several figures appeared out of thin air.


    Supreme Being Xia Qin.


    Supreme Being Yu Die.


    Supreme Being Gu Li.


    Supreme Being Xu Shen.


    A total of four Evolution Tower Masters'' consciousnesses descended.


    "Wisdom Goddess, why have you summoned us?" Supreme Being Xu Shen frowned slightly. As the ultimate of the Void evolution path, he spent most of his time immersed in the vast spatial essence.


    Having just emerged, being summoned by the Wisdom Goddess annoyed him.


    "Xu Shen, don''t be so irritable. The goddesses are also working for human civilization," Supreme Being Gu Li said.


    Human civilization''s nine Supreme Beings had different personalities. Supreme Being Gu Li, who was decisive against aliens, was gentle with his own kind. (Supreme Beings = Strongest Ones)


    "Four Supreme Beings, the Ninth-Rank Chapter of the Martial Path evolution method requires your evaluation," the Wisdom Goddess''s voice came.


    "The Ninth-Rank Chapter of the Martial Path evolution method? The path founded by our civilization''s most talented genius?" Supreme Being Xu Shen''s eyes brightened.


    "Yes."


    "This young one has grown too quickly. Just recently, he killed Huny of the Tianyu n in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, with at least 100 million spaceyers developed," Supreme Being Yu Die said in amazement.


    As Supreme Beings, they could witness the past of the universe and observe all kinds of incredible geniuses. Even so, Lin Yuan''s feats were surprising.


    100 million spaceyers? Even with time treasures, developing that manyyers was extraordinarily difficult.


    Human civilization''s nine Supreme Beings had nurtured many descendants with immense resources, yet none could develop over 100 millionyers at the ninth rank.


    "Indeed, I''ve never seen or heard of such talent," Supreme Being Gu Li was also amazed, feeling fortunate that Lin Yuan was human.


    "Hopefully, this young one can go all the way," Supreme Being Xia Qin sighed.


    Going all the way meant reaching the twelfth rank, bing the ultimate of an evolution path, and joining the ten Supreme Beings of human civilization.


    "Alright."


    "Wisdom Goddess, show us the Ninth-Rank Chapter of the Martial Path," Supreme Being Xu Shen was intrigued.


    Seeing the other three Supreme Beings'' high evaluation of Lin Yuan, his curiosity was piqued.


    Especially Supreme Being Xia Qin, who hoped the young one could go all the way. Supreme Being Xu Shen knew how difficult it was to be a Supreme Being. It wasn''t just about talent but all-around umtion and a bit of luck.


    "Four Supreme Beings, please see," the Wisdom Goddess sent the Ninth-Rank Chapter and bloodline cultivation path to the four Supreme Beings.


    With theputational power of the three goddesses, they could independently evaluate a ninth-rank evolution method. However, the potential of the Martial Path evolution method was so great that they needed the Supreme Beings to ensure uracy.


    Soon, the Supreme Beings finished their review.


    "Interesting, this Ninth-Rank Chapter involves transforming the inner world? I can deduce that the transformed inner world is indeed much more stable."


    "Amazing. This direction of transformation has never appeared in the universe before. How did this young one think of it?"


    "Incredible. The Martial Path Ninth-Rank Chapter will make future Martial Path ninth-rank evolvers much stronger than their peers."


    The four Supreme Beings discussed quietly, easily understanding the essence of the Martial Path Ninth-Rank Chapter and its method for stabilizing and perfecting the inner world.


    World transformation isn''t easy. A stable world is in perfect bnce, and any slight change could cause copse.


    "This bloodline cultivation path is much more mature than the current methods used by bloodline evolution families in our civilization."


    Supreme Being Xu Shen reviewed the bloodline cultivation path and gave his assessment.


    "Indeed."


    "Even if the Martial Path evolution method doesn''t evolve into an ultimate path, it will be a foundational path for our civilization."


    "Our civilization has truly found a treasure this time."


    The four Supreme Beings exchanged smiles.


    "Four Supreme Beings, the final evaluation of the Martial Path Ninth-Rank Chapter is 80 million merit points, and the bloodline cultivation path is 50 million merit points. Any objections?" the Wisdom Goddess asked.


    "80 million merit points is a bit low, let''s round it up to 100 million."


    "And the bloodline cultivation path, although mainly suitable for the Martial Path, can be referenced by other evolvers too. Let''s also set it at 100 million."


    Supreme Being Xia Qin thought for a while and spoke.


    "We agree." Supreme Beings Gu Li and the others nodded.


    The three goddesses had many bases for their evaluations, which were neither excessive nor stingy. However, the Supreme Beings felt that rewarding an exceptional genius like Lin Yuan with extra merit points benefited the entire civilization.


    "Evaluation approved," the Wisdom Goddess responded.


    At the Milky Way''s main star.


    Lin Yuan was resting with his eyes closed.


    "Honored ninth-rank evolver, Milky Way Star Lord Lin Yuan, the evaluation of your uploaded Martial Path Ninth-Rank Chapter and bloodline cultivation path isplete," the Wisdom Goddess''s solemn, cold voice came.


    "Complete?" Lin Yuan opened his eyes and listened.


    "After evaluation, the Martial Path Ninth-Rank Chapter is worth 100 million merit points, and the bloodline cultivation path is worth 100 million merit points, totaling 200 million merit points. Should they be issued now?" the Wisdom Goddess said quickly.


    "200 million merit points?" Lin Yuan took a deep breath.


    What is the most precious in the Human Civilization Alliance? Civilization currency? Universe currency? Universe crystals? Countless treasures?


    None of these.


    The most precious is merit points.


    Lin Yuan once didn''t understand this until he bathed in the Eternal Spring and realized the value of merit points.


    To put it simply, many strategic treasures in human civilization aren''t avable to outsiders, no matter the price. But if you''re human and have the required permissions, you can obtain them with merit points.


    In human civilization, merit points can aplish anything.


    Even enlisting a Supreme Being is possible with enough merit points.

 Chapter 332

    "Two hundred million merit points, with one hundred million from the bloodline cultivation path?" Lin Yuan was a bit surprised. The value of the Martial Path Ninth-Rank Chapter being one hundred million merit points, although unexpected, was still within reason.


    But the bloodline cultivation path? This type of cultivation was limited by the bloodline ceiling, and its practitioners could only reach the seventh rank, unable to develop their inner world independently.


    It was valued the same as the Martial Path Ninth-Rank Chapter?


    "Is it because of its universality?" Lin Yuan guessed. The Martial Path Ninth-Rank Chapter was aimed at those following the Martial Path cultivation system and was useful only to those who had reached the ninth rank.


    How many ninth-rank evolvers were there in human civilization? Although there were many ninth ranks in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, that included all life forms from across the universe.


    Among the major peak ns, powerful races, special beings, and lone wanderers, ninth-rank evolvers were rare when spread across individual ns. Even in the entire universe, there were only a few.


    But the bloodline cultivation path, though a branch of the Martial Path system, could be practiced independently.


    Just like the body refinement lineage in the Immortal World, not only could the disciples of the Daoist Immortal Sect practice it, but so could demonic cultivators and evil cultivators.


    "Even with such universality, it shouldn''t be worth a hundred million," Lin Yuan was still puzzled, considering he didn''t create the bloodline cultivation path from scratch.Human civilization had long had bloodline evolution families, but their methods of refining and using bloodlines were less perfect than Lin Yuan''s summarized bloodline cultivation path.


    One hundred million merit points are nearly equivalent to the total merit points required by two eighth-level citizens. Eighth-level citizens were far rarer than ninth-rank evolvers in human civilization.


    "It must be influenced by other factors," Lin Yuan spected.


    He didn''t know that the three goddesses initially valued the bloodline cultivation path at fifty million merit points, but the Supreme Beings had insisted on raising it to one hundred million, to support Lin Yuan''s growth.


    As long as Lin Yuan remained a human evolver, giving him more merit points was no loss to the civilization.


    "I now have a total of two hundred million and eight hundred thousand merit points?" Lin Yuan was pleased. Two hundred million were from his recent gains.


    The remaining eight hundred thousand came from three hundred thousand left over after advancing to an eighth-level citizen and five hundred thousand from killing many ninth-rank aliens in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    Though he only killed their clones, those were still ninth-rank alien clones, nearly as valuable aspletely killing an eighth-rank alien, especially with one being Huny, a special ninth rank.


    "Unfortunately, after I killed Huny, the enemy ninth-rank aliens of human civilization gave up many opportunities in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm and hid in some corner," Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    The Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm was vast, muchrger than the world of gods, with spaceyers far exceeding a trillion. If those ninth-rank aliens intended to hide, Lin Yuan would have to conduct a thorough search to find them, which would be a huge waste of time.


    Even with over 2 billion spaceyers, Lin Yuan''s full-scale search during the century-long opening of the secret realm would cover only about one ten-thousandth of its area.


    "Forget it. Finding the source of that calling is more important," Lin Yuan shifted his focus back to the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    At this moment, his Sun Primordial Spirit was rapidly heading towards the core area, making a significantmotion and asionally attracting native life forms, which he dealt with while collecting ''Mysterious Emperor Crystals.''


    In the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, apart from human civilization evolvers and allies, no ninth-rank dared approach Lin Yuan due to his overwhelming power.


    No other ninth-rank had ever caused such a stir in the secret realm, making peak ns'' ninth ranks retreat without a fight and abandon many opportunities.


    "Let''s check the current ranking of the Martial Path evolution method," Lin Yuan thought.


    When the Martial Path evolution method was still at the eighth rank, it topped the Red Kun Star Domain evolution list, the Annan Star Alliance evolution list, and outperformed numerous ninth-rank evolution methods in the Annan Star Alliance.


    Now that the Martial Path evolution method had reached the ninth rank, with just the Martial Path Ninth-Rank Chapter valued at one hundred million merit points by the three goddesses, and with the bloodline cultivation path as a branch, Lin Yuan was eager to see its ranking.


    "The first in Cann Star, first in Red Kun Star Domain, first in Annan Star Alliance, and fifty-third in the Southern Star Region?" Lin Yuan nced at thetest ranking information for the Martial Path evolution method.


    "Fifty-third in the Southern Star Region evolution list?" Lin Yuan saw a virtual screen before him, listing the Southern Star Region evolution method rankings from top to bottom.


    The Southern Star Region, one of human civilization''s five major star regions, spanned light-years and had birthed countless evolution schrs, ninth-rank evolvers, tenth-rank evolvers, and eleventh-rank evolvers.


    Ranking in the Southern Star Region evolution list meant the Martial Path evolution method was among the top human evolution methods with immense influence. When it was at the eighth rank, it didn''t qualify for the Southern Star Region evolution list.


    "Some eleventh-rank evolution methods are ranked below the Martial Path evolution method?" Lin Yuan marveled.


    He had underestimated the true potential of the Martial Path evolution method. Ranking above eleventh-rank evolution methods was extraordinary, given that eleventh-rank evolution methods typically offered a stable path to the eleventh rank, even if they had no further potential.


    "It seems the three goddesses determined the Martial Path evolution method has potential to evolve into a supreme evolution method," Lin Yuan thought.


    This alone could exin the high ranking of the Martial Path evolution method. Many eleventh-rank methods had exhausted their potential, with no hope of evolving into supreme methods, making this the only way for the Martial Path to surpass them.


    "Supreme evolution method," Lin Yuan''s heart raced.


    This was the ultimate aspiration for countless beings. Decades ago, a supreme being''s corpse from an alien battlefield caused a massive struggle among the strongest beings of the main universe, all for the potential it held.


    This illustrated the rarity of supreme evolution methods.


    Lin Yuan continued to scan the human civilization evolution list.


    The human civilization evolution list was the most authoritative, recording the top 100 evolution methods in human history, including nine supreme methods.


    "Not in the top 100," Lin Yuan wasn''t surprised.


    The human civilization evolution list included only methods with immense potential, many of which had hope of evolving into supreme methods. Despite its vast potential, the Martial Path evolution method was still a ninth-rank method, and it would be unusual for it to be on the list.


    After uploading the Martial Path evolution method and earning a significant number of merit points, Lin Yuan took out the mysterious gourd.


    "Next, I need to quickly restore my inner world to nearly 200M miles in radius," Lin Yuan nned.


    Before his ninth transmigration, Lin Yuan had absorbed only up to the fifth drop of liquid from the mysterious gourd, making his inner world about 160M miles in size.


    Now, his inner world was close to 200M miles in radius.


    Though it seemed only an increase of about thirty million miles in size,bined with over 2 billion spaceyers, the increase was enormous.


    Each spaceyer in his inner world, theoretically no smaller than the main space, added thirty million miles. Multiplied by over 2 billion spaceyers, even if a single spaceyer''s power was far less than the main space, the sheer number made up for it.


    "The inner worlds of my two primordial spirits can wait until the Sun Primordial Spirit returns," Lin Yuan prioritized restoring his true body''s full strength first.


    Whether the Sun Primordial Spirit fully recovered its strength made little difference, as the ninth-rank experts in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm had known upper limits.


    Whether the Sun Primordial Spirit had one billion or eight hundred million in power, there was no significant difference.


    In the virtual world of the Annan Star Alliance, at the central square.


    Evolvers and high-level citizens continually appeared, looking at the towering evolution list and the Martial Path evolution method at the top, still showing awe.


    Decades ago, when the Martial Path evolution method first appeared on the Annan evolution list, it shocked many strong individuals by directly topping the list.


    Other evolution methods struggled to rise even one or two ranks, but the Martial Path evolution method jumped over a hundred ranks to top the Annan evolution list.


    Such an incredible rise had never urred since the Annan Star Alliance was established.


    "I heard the Martial Path evolution methodes from the Red Kun Star Domain, where it also topped the evolution list quickly."


    "Can the Red Kun Star Domainpare to our Annan Star Alliance? But indeed, the Martial Path evolution method is formidable. None of our many ninth-rank evolution methods could surpass it?"


    "While you doubted the Martial Path evolution method, I had my descendants start practicing it. Given its potential, it might evolve into a ninth-rank evolution method."


    Evolvers and high-level citizens discussed, focusing on the Martial Path evolution method. It shone so brightly that other methods seemed dim inparison.


    Fortunately, the method''s creator was a mysterious human evolution schr, making it eptable.


    After all, evolution schrs represented the depth of human civilization, with a minimum requirement of being an eighth-rank evolver. Many had reached the tenth or eleventh rank.


    "I wonder when the mysterious evolution schr will update the ninth-rank chapter of the Martial Path evolution method?" A high-level citizen spoke with anticipation.


    "I think it''s unlikely."


    "Many said it was unlikely before the sixth, seventh, and eighth chapters were updated."


    "It''s different. The ninth chapter isn''t like the previous ones."


    Opinions varied among the evolvers and high-level citizens.


    "Fools, still doubting the Martial Path evolution method''s update speed?" In a corner of the central square sat a small man.


    He came from the Red Kun Star Domain and had witnessed the rise of the Martial Path evolution method firsthand, knowing it defied conventional logic.


    "The Martial Path evolution method... it''s a pity I''ve already set my foundation. Switching to the Martial Path evolution method would cost too much," the small manmented.


    He refreshed the detailed information of the Martial Path evolution method to review the seventh and eighth chapters. Though he didn''t practice the Martial Path, he bought all chapters from the first to the eighth.


    Even if it wasn''t his core evolution method, he could still use it for supplementary practice.


    "Hmm?"


    As the small man refreshed the detailed information, he was stunned to see an addition after the eighth chapter.


    The ninth chapter.


    "The Martial Path evolution method has updated to the ninth chapter?" The small man was shocked. Looking around, he saw many still debating, while a few others had also noticed the update, showing varied reactions.


    "The ninth-rank evolution method." The small man''s thoughts raced. With the ninth chapter update, the Martial Path evolution method officially entered the ninth-rank category.


    "The Annan evolution list is still topped by the Martial Path evolution method," the small man looked at the evolution list, noting its unchanged position.


    The Martial Path topped the list even at the eighth rank, and now with the ninth chapter, the Annan list couldn''t reflect its enhanced potential.


    "Southern Star Region evolution list," the small man opened the Southern Star Region list with a mix of emotions.


    "Fifty-third?" The small man was silent. The Southern Star Region included numerous areas like the Annan Star Alliance, with its list featuring the top evolution methods, mostly at the tenth and eleventh ranks.


    For the Martial Path to jump to fifty-third?


    Despite his high regard for the Martial Path, the small man wondered if there was an error in the ranking.


    Meanwhile, as time passed, other evolvers and high-level citizens also discovered the update and the final ranking of the Martial Path evolution method.

 Chapter 333

    Chapter 333


    Milky Way Main Star


    In just three days, Lin Yuan''s inner world had expanded to nearly 200M miles in radius.


    The vast power of his world,bined with the strength of over 2 billion spaceyers, could instill fear in even ordinary tenth-rank experts.


    "The stability of the primary universe''s space is unparalleled, with countless spaceyers equally stable," Lin Yuan mused.


    In the world of gods, Lin Yuan could easily carve out stable ''Martial Worlds'' between spaceyers for all Martial Dao deities to ascend. However, in the primary universe, this was impossible.


    The space was too stable; even tenth-rank experts couldn''t forcefully create a world within it, requiring at least an eleventh-rank to do so. Furthermore, any world created by an eleventh-rank expert wouldn''t be permanent and would gradually be restored by the primary universe''s inherent repair capabilities.


    Unless one reached the level of a Supreme Being (Strongest One), possessing the power to create permanent spatial rifts, establishing a stable ''Martial World'' in the primary universe was almost impossible.


    "However, the hottest topic in human civilization these days should be the Martial Path evolution method," Lin Yuan connected to the virtualwork, where headlines on major media outlets were all about the Martial Path evolution method.


    Before the upload of the ninth chapter, the Martial Path, even though it topped the Annan Star Alliance list, was considered a localized evolution method in the grand scheme of human civilization.The Annan Star Alliance was just one of countless star alliances within human civilization. Even with the Martial Path''s rapid rise, the majority of human evolvers and citizens hadn''t heard of it.


    But when the ninth-rank Martial Path evolution method entered the Southern Star Region evolution list, it ''broke out.''


    The human alliance had many areas like the Annan Star Alliance, but only five major star regions. The evolution lists of these star regions were closely watched by countless human evolvers daily.


    Changes in the Southern Star Region evolution list, even in the fifty-third position, would trigger widespread discussion across human civilization.


    "This is a good thing."


    "The ''breakout'' of the Martial Path evolution method will likely increase the number of evolvers practicing it," Lin Yuan thought happily, checking the number of Martial Path evolvers.


    Human civilization required every new evolver to register with the local evolver association, as Lin Yuan had done in the Cann Star.


    Through these registrations, detailed information waspiled, allowing for the counting of Martial Path evolvers at each level.


    "First chapter: 695,634 billion."


    "Second chapter: 92.54 billion."


    "Third chapter: 1,965 billion."


    "Fourth chapter: 54.2 million."


    "Fifth chapter: 8.12 million."


    "Sixth chapter: 980,000."


    "Seventh chapter: 2,673."


    "Eighth chapter: Zero."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly, noting the sharp drop in numbers from the second to the third chapter.


    This wasn''t because the breakthrough from the second to the third chapter of the Martial Path was particrly difficult, but because at least half of the first and second chapter practitioners had started only recently.


    The exposure from the Southern Star Region evolution list, ranked fifty-third, attracted countless citizens to the Martial Path. The first and second chapters could be quickly mastered through energy umtion, but the transition to the third chapter was much harder.


    "Following a stable evolution path, the efficiency and speed are indeed high," Lin Yuan nodded.


    It had been only a hundred years since the Martial Path evolution method was uploaded, yet 2,000 evolvers had already reached the seventh chapter.


    When Lin Yuan initially developed the first to seventh chapters, it took about a thousand years, including time spent in transmigrated worlds.


    However, those who had reached the seventh chapter in a century were mostly high-ranking evolvers who had switched to the Martial Path, seeing its potential early and at great cost.


    For high-ranking evolvers, re-cultivating in the Martial Path allowed them to progress quickly through the early and mid-stages without much additional insight.


    "Ie from these years," Lin Yuan nced at his ount bnce, seeing about nine million universe crystals.


    This was universe crystals, not civilization currency or universe currency, but a universal currency among countless races in the cosmos.


    An eighth-rank expert''s worth ranged from several thousand to ten thousand universe crystals. Lin Yuan''s ie from the Martial Path evolution method over the past few decades was equivalent to what a thousand eighth-rank experts might earn over half their lives.


    "Four million of the nine million universe crystals are from recent ie. The ninth chapter is priced at five trillion civilization currency, equivalent to five universe crystals."


    "Four million universe crystals in royalties mean total sales of about twelve million universe crystals, indicating the ninth chapter has been purchased two to three million times," Lin Yuan marveled at the wealth of high-ranking evolvers, who had vast means of acquiring wealth.


    "The ie from royalties will only increase," Lin Yuan realized the earning potential of a high-level evolution method founder.


    While the process of developing an evolution method was arduous, once sessful, it became a golden goose.


    Although universe crystals weren''t as valuable as merit points in human civilization, with sufficient quantity, they could purchase most universe treasures and wonders.


    "However, royalties are secondary," Lin Yuan dismissed the ie interface, looking toward the stars.


    "The real benefit will be the support I receive when I make the ultimate leap," Lin Yuan mused.


    Human civilization''s expansion and wars with other races aimed to secure more territory and increase the poption base.


    Arger poption not only produced more talented evolvers but also allowed more people to practice various evolution methods, increasing the chances of elevating a peak eleventh-rank existence to a Supreme Being.


    Among the peak civilizations, human civilization had the most Supreme Beings, nine in total, partly due to itsrge poption.


    Unique beings could easily reach the eleventh rank but often hesitated to challenge the Supreme Being level due to theck of certainty.


    Thus, many ''Ancient Gods'' in the deep space continually propagated evolution methods based on their characteristics, like the ''Ancient God'' evolution methods circting within human civilization, preparing for that crucial step.


    Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm


    Lin Yuan raced through various spaceyers.


    "I''m nearing the core area," Lin Yuan sensed, calcting that he was close to the source of the calling.


    "About half a month to go," Lin Yuan estimated, growing more expectant as the calling grew clearer.


    "Mysterious Emperor?" Lin Yuan tranted the calling into human words, thinking it referred to the master of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, an existence of Supreme Being level.


    "A calling rted to a Supreme Being."


    As Lin Yuan pondered, his expression changed slightly.


    "There?"


    He sensed a hidden presence in the area.


    "Boom!"


    A massive Insect mother nest, millions of feet in size, rose and fled frantically.


    "Insect?" Lin Yuan smiled. Despite most ninth-rank aliens avoiding him, he was pleasantly surprised to encounter a Insect.


    The Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm was vast, and running into a ninth-rank Insect was a stroke of luck.


    "Stay," Lin Yuan raised his right hand, spreading the power of two billion spaceyers. Though the Insect mother nest hadprehended nearly 30 million spaceyers, it was no match for Lin Yuan.


    "Milky Way Star Lord!" The Insect mother nest''s voice was filled with anger and sorrow before it self-destructed, its massive body exploding.


    "So decisive?" Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    Insect mother nests were huge, and losing a clone was a far greater loss for them than for smaller ninth-ranks like Xi Lan.


    "Is it because they know I have a ''Memory Poison''?" Lin Yuan spected.


    Other ninth-rank aliens feared being captured and taken to human territory for interrogation by human experts, but the Insect knew Lin Yuan didn''t need to do that.


    Previously, the Insect had sent four eighth-rank invincibles to ambush Lin Yuan, using a ''Memory Poison'' that could annihte a strong being''s memories, making resurrection impossible. After those four fell, the Insect knew the Memory Poison had fallen into Lin Yuan''s hands.


    "Good loot, worth about four million universe crystals," Lin Yuan nodded, noting the Insect''s substantial gains from the secret realm, now his.


    Milky Way Main Star


    Lin Yuan finished his day''s cultivation.


    "Right."


    "I should visit the Devil Jade Space and attempt the third level of the ck Tower," Lin Yuan decided.


    He was eager for the rewards from passing the levels of the ck Tower. The ''Chaos Crystal'' he received from the second level still provided insights, and the secret methods like ''Interpretation of the Void'' and ''Virtual Reality,'' created by the owner of the Devil Jade Tower, were invaluable.


    "Let''s go."


    Lin Yuan sensed the ''Devil Jade Mark'' in his soul and sent a sliver of his will into the Devil Jade Space.


    "It''s been a while."


    Looking at the gray mist around him, Lin Yuan felt nostalgic.


    This ''while'' included the thousand years he spent in the world of gods.


    In the primary universe, not much time had passed.


    Swoosh.


    Soon, Lin Yuan arrived before the towering nine-level ck Tower.


    "You''re here?" The humanoid statue, Shen Ji, emerged, smiling at Lin Yuan.


    "Here to try the third level again?" Shen Ji saw Lin Yuan''s intent, knowing that besides attempting the third level, there wasn''t much else for Lin Yuan to do in the Devil Jade Space.


    "Yes," Lin Yuan nodded.


    Previous attempts at the third level had ended in failure, far from passing it. But now, Lin Yuan was confident.


    "Go ahead," Shen Ji opened the entrance to the ck Tower and stepped aside.


    Swish!


    Lin Yuan stepped in.


    ck Tower Third Level


    Every inch of space was filled with omnipresent pressure.


    From previous attempts, Lin Yuan knew what the third level tested.


    The first and second levels tested resistance to invisible pressure, requiring challengers to withstand it.


    The third level''s pressure was insurmountable; the real test was to upy more spaceyers to evade the pressure from all directions.


    The key to the third level was to dodge.


    "Last time, I had developed less than 100,000 spaceyers and couldn''t even get through one percent of the level," Lin Yuan recalled.


    He estimated that to pass the third level, one needed to develop nearly a billion spaceyers.


    Such a number was unattainable for most ninth-rank beings in this era.


    "But for me now..."


    Lin Yuan upied countless spaceyers instantly and took a step forward.


    Outside the ck Tower.


    Shen Ji watched the third level''s screen with interest.


    "Last time, this kid spent half an hour to cover one percent of the distance, probably quite a blow," Shen Ji thought.


    Geniuses like Lin Yuan were proud, and seeing themselves so weak in the third level must have stung, even with Shen Ji''s exnation that it required a special ninth-rank or a tenth-rank being to pass.


    "For him to attempt the third level again, he must have made a breakthrough, perhaps covering two or even five percent this time?"


    Shen Ji assumed Lin Yuan had made significant progress.


    Covering two to five percent required a ninth-rank being with nearly a million spaceyers.


    Lin Yuan previously had less than 100,000.


    "Truly a genius whoprehended dozens of cosmic powers at the eighth rank. Such rapid progress in a short time..."


    Shen Ji watched with a smile as Lin Yuan took a step.


    Swish!


    Lin Yuan disappeared.


    "Huh?"


    Shen Ji was stunned, seeing Lin Yuan appear at the third level''s endpoint.


    "What?!" Shen Ji was dumbfounded.


    ...

 Chapter 334

    "Did he really pass?"


    The humanoid statue, Shen Ji, nced from the starting point of the third level of the ck Tower to where Lin Yuan now stood at the ''end'' point and finally realized what had happened.


    "How did he do it so quickly?"


    Shen Ji found it hard to believe. He had anticipated that Lin Yuan had made significant progress before daring to challenge the third level again.


    Unlike the first two levels, which tested a challenger''s ability to withstand omnipresent pressure and allowed them to use that pressure to temper themselves, the third level tested their ability to upy spaceyers. It was a strict requirement¡ªeither you could do it, or you couldn''t.


    So, Shen Ji was confident that Lin Yuan had made an important breakthrough before attempting the third level again. If his strength had remained the same, there was no reason for him to try again. But this breakthrough was astonishing.


    Even though Shen Ji had experienced the peak periods of the Devil Jade Tower, he was shocked by Lin Yuan''s speed in passing the level. He could confirm that Lin Yuan''s mental essence was still at the ninth rank.


    Yet, to pass the third level, the standard left by the Devil Jade Tower''s owner required an advanced ninth-rank lifeform who had developed eight to nine millionyers of space, or even a tenth-rank lifeform.


    Ninth-rank beings who had developed nearly a 100M spaceyers might carefully maneuver through theyers to avoid the pervasive pressure, but Lin Yuan?Shen Ji reviewed the footage, slowing down the moment Lin Yuan took his step. In the main space, Lin Yuan had simply taken a step, but in that instant, he had upied countless spaceyers, controlling at least 500Myers simultaneously.


    Because of this, Lin Yuan could easily cross from the starting point to the end of the third level.


    "This monster," Shen Ji shook his head repeatedly.


    Freakish. Absolutely freakish.


    Had he not witnessed it himself, Shen Ji would never have believed that such a freakish talent could emerge from a mere universe.


    Developing more than 500M spaceyers¡ªShen Ji had heard of it during the glorious days of the Devil Jade Tower¡ªbut how much time had passed since Lin Yuan reached the ninth rank?


    Swish.


    Shen Ji appeared at the ''end'' of the third level. As the keeper of the nine-level ck Tower, he had the authority to appear on any level.


    "Young one, you are the fastest ninth-rank being to pass the third level," Shen Ji managed a smile.


    He limited hisparison to ninth-rank beings because those who had passed the third level also included tenth, eleventh, and even twelfth-rank beings.


    "Would you like to try the fourth level?" Shen Ji suddenly asked.


    For other ninth-rank beings, he wouldn''t even consider asking this question after they passed the third level. The third level mostly targeted tenth-rank beings, with a few advanced ninth-rank beings capable of passing.


    The fourth level was designed for peak tenth-rank and eleventh-rank beings, while the fifth level was for those who hadprehended theplete time rule, and the sixth level for those who had begun integrating time and space rules.


    The seventh, eighth, and ninth levels were for twelfth-rank beings, or Supreme Beings.


    The jump from the ninth to the tenth rank was a qualitative change. No matter how many spaceyers a ninth-rank being developed, they couldn''t pass the fourth level because it tested something other than the control of spaceyers.


    "Sure," Lin Yuan nodded, curious to see what the fourth level entailed.


    Passing it would be great, but failing wouldn''t be a loss.


    Swish.


    Lin Yuan appeared on the fourth level.


    "This test is..." Lin Yuan''s expression grew serious. "Time?"


    With his current understanding of the time rule, he immediately noticed that different areas of the fourth level had varying time flows. Some areas were elerated, some slowed, some paused, and in rare cases, time flowed backward.


    "Let''s see."


    Lin Yuan observed for a while and then took his first step.


    Outside the ck Tower, Shen Ji''s expression changed slightly.


    "This young one also has high attainments in the time rule?" Shen Ji was stunned. While ninth-rank beings could perceive time fluctuations,prehending them was a different matter.


    Generally, only tenth-rank beings started to grasp the time rule. Yet, Lin Yuan was stepping across regions of distorted time as if his understanding of the time rule was on par with peak tenth-rank beings.


    "How did this monster cultivate?" Shen Ji wondered, puzzled by Lin Yuan''s rapid progress even if he had ess to ces with exaggerated time flows.


    After half an hour, Lin Yuan, looking serious, stepped past the final region where time flowed backward and reached the ''end'' of the fourth level.


    "I did it," Lin Yuan smiled.


    Passing the fourth level was entirely due to the two main gods with time attributes from the world of gods. These allowed him to observe the essence of time rules in the world of gods, significantly advancing his understanding of time rules.


    Although far fromprehending theplete time rule,pared to other ninth or even tenth-rank beings, Lin Yuan was ahead in the field of time rules.


    "Want to try the fifth level?" Shen Ji reappeared.


    "Sure," Lin Yuan nodded.


    He didn''t expect to pass the fifth level, especially since the fourth level had been a challenge. But it was worth a try.


    Buzz.


    Momentster, Lin Yuan voluntarily exited the fifth level.


    "One mustprehend theplete time rule to pass the fifth level," Lin Yuan marveled. Even at the starting point, the time-reversing flow was daunting.


    Shen Ji felt a bit relieved, having judged from Lin Yuan''s disy on the fourth level that he wouldn''t pass the fifth. But it was reassuring to see that judgment confirmed.


    "ording to the rules left by the master, you can choose one treasure each from the third and fourth level treasure vaults," Shen Ji said after some thought. "However, you can choose to select just one item from the fifth level treasure vault instead."


    "Of course, you can refuse and still pick two items from the third and fourth level vaults."


    The higher the level, the more precious the treasures.


    "I''ll choose from the fifth level vault," Lin Yuan said without hesitation.


    The fifth level requiredprehending theplete time rule, and the corresponding vault likely held at least eleven-star treasures, possibly even top-tier eleven-star treasures like the World Tree.


    A single top-tier eleven-star treasure was worth far more than several regr eleven-star treasuresbined.


    "Alright," Shen Ji nodded, waving his hand.


    Three images appeared before him.


    The first was a crystal-clear jade stone. Though it looked ordinary, its presence in the fifth level vault meant it was anything but.


    "This jade contains a broken evolution path," Shen Ji smiled. "A broken Supreme evolution path."


    "The ultimate existence of this path perished long ago."


    "A Supreme evolution path?" Lin Yuan was shocked. Such a path was invaluable, driving many eleventh-rank beings mad. Even broken, it marked a road to the Supreme level. Restoring it would just be a matter of time and effort.


    Lin Yuan felt that if the peak races of the universe knew about a broken Supreme evolution path, it could trigger a full-scale war.


    "The second item is a special treasure, slightly stronger than ordinary eleventh-rank treasures."


    Shen Ji turned to the second image, a gray spear. Though weathered, it emitted a chilling killing intent.


    "Stronger than eleventh-rank treasures?" Lin Yuan''s interest was piqued. Such a weapon could boost hisbat power significantly.


    On small and medium battlefields, those permanent spatial rifts were created not by Supreme Beings directly but by powerful tenth or eleventh-rank beings wielding Supreme weapons, delivering Supreme-level strikes.


    In certain special periods, full-scale wars involving human civilization and other races had seen traces of tenth-rank beings even on small battlefields. So this gray spear, theoretically usable by Lin Yuan, would enhance his power even if he couldn''t fully unleash its potential.


    "The third item," Shen Ji looked at the final image, "is a microcosm, apletely independent andplete microcosm created by the master during a million-year seclusion."


    The third image was a gray sphere, resembling the Chaos Crystal but much more profound.


    "A microcosm? Apletely independent microcosm?" Lin Yuan''s eyes lit up. What didplete independence mean? In the primary universe, the inner worlds of eighth, ninth, tenth, and even eleventh-rank beings weren''t truly independent. They relied on the primary universe, sharing its time rule.


    To be truly independent, one had to merge time and space, transforming the inner world into an inner universe.


    A truly independent world had its own time flow, unaffected by external factors.


    "This microcosm allows you to deeply experience its rules once refined," Shen Ji exined.


    In some ways, this microcosm surpassed the category of eleventh-rank treasures, requiring a Supreme Being to create, and not just any Supreme Being.


    "You may choose one of these three items," Shen Ji looked at Lin Yuan.


    "Choose one?"


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts raced. The first item, a broken Supreme evolution path, was tempting. If not for his Unrivaled Insight, he might have chosen it. But with ns to elevate the Martial Path evolution method to the Supreme level, the Supreme evolution path held less allure. He wouldn''t abandon the Martial Path for apletely different path.


    As for the second item, the gray spear stronger than eleventh-rank treasures, Lin Yuan dismissed it. He couldn''t risk giving such a precious weapon to his avatars, and his main body was usually in safe locations, making it less useful.


    "I choose the microcosm," Lin Yuan decided.


    "Very well, take it," Shen Ji smiled, waving his hand.


    The gray mist-enveloped microcosm flew to Lin Yuan.


    Reaching out, Lin Yuan sensed its space, only a few hundred light-years across, but withplete time and space rules.


    "Go and refine it quickly," Shen Ji smiled. "You will find it very beneficial."


    "Okay," Lin Yuan nodded.


    Before leaving the Devil Jade Space, Lin Yuan thought of something and asked, "Senior Shen Ji, have you heard of the ''Mysterious Emperor'' or ''Yellow Emperor''?" (The names of these two are simr so MC is confused)


    The origin of the Mysterious Secret Realm was unknown to the peak races'' Supreme Beings, who only knew it wasn''t from the current cosmic epoch.


    Though Shen Ji wasn''t a Supreme Being, he had served the mysterious owner of the Devil Jade Tower. His knowledge might include information about the Mysterious Secret Realm.


    "''Yellow Emperor'' ''Mysterious Emperor''?" Shen Ji was puzzled. After a moment of thought, he said, "You mean ''Mysterious Sovereign,'' right?"


    ...

 Chapter 335

    "Your Majesty, the Mysterious Sovereign?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression was one of shock. All along, whether it was the ''Mysterious Emperor'' evolution path obtained from his teacher, the Red Kun Star Lord, or the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm itself, everything pointed to ''Mysterious Emperor.''


    "Yes," the humanoid statue, Shen Ji, nodded. "You guessed correctly. Since we''re talking about ''Your Majesty,'' and the Mysterious Emperor, I am indeed referring to the ''Mysterious Sovereign.''"


    "What is the origin of the ''Mysterious Sovereign''?" Lin Yuan immediately asked.


    Whether it was the Mysterious Emperor or the Mysterious Sovereign, both were ultimate-level Strongest Ones. The Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm has yet to have its exact coordinates located by any of the strongest beings.


    "The ''Mysterious Sovereign'' was a title that my master asionally heard in some cosmic ruins. It is said that the lineage founded by the Mysterious Sovereign was once extremely famous, and the Sovereign himself had ventured far into the ultimate domain."


    Shen Ji seemed to be lost in memory.


    "A long time ago?" Lin Yuan contemted.


    "Indeed. In my master''s era, almost no one knew about the ''Mysterious Sovereign.'' My master only learned snippets about him from some ruins.""In the end, the ''Mysterious Sovereign'' suddenly disappeared for unknown reasons, and his lineage fell into decline. By the time my master rose to power, it had almost vanished without a trace."


    Shen Ji said.


    He was not truly alive, but rather a spirit-like entity, imbued with a vast amount of knowledge by the Devil Jade Tower''s master. This made him quite knowledgeable.


    "The ''Mysterious Sovereign'' vanished mysteriously too?" Lin Yuan was slightly stunned. The master of the Devil Jade Tower also vanished suddenly, leading to the tower''s decline. And now, it seemed that the Mysterious Sovereign met a simr fate.


    "Do you know why the master of the Devil Jade Tower disappeared?" Lin Yuan pondered for a moment before asking directly.


    "Why the master disappeared..." Shen Ji fell silent for a while. "Now that you''re a core member of the Devil Jade Tower, there are some things you have the right to know."


    "Before the master disappeared, he mentioned to me that he wanted to go to a certain ce." Shen Ji shook his head as he spoke.


    "After that, the master was never seen again." Shen Ji''s tone wasplex.


    "A certain ce..." Lin Yuan''s heart was stirred.


    The master of the Devil Jade Tower was most proficient in space, a boundless and profound path. A rank-nine evolver canprehend theplete rules of space, but that is only one aspect of the true spatial rules.


    To fully transform the spatial rules into one''s own spatial Dao is the domain of the Strongest Ones. And even within the spatial Dao, no two paths are identical, not even simr.


    However, there was no doubt that the master of the Devil Jade Tower had terrifying aplishments in the domain of space. Just the mere fact that he could silently send the World Tree and the Chaos Crystal to Lin Yuan''s side in the main universe was already astonishing.


    This was inconceivable.


    It should be noted that when the Strongest One, Xia Qin, wanted to send the Divine Sealing Bead to Lin Yuan, he had to specifically order Deputy Tower Master Nn to run an errand.


    And that was just within the same universe.


    From this alone, it was clear that Xia Qin was not as proficient in space as the master of the Devil Jade Tower.


    "Did the ''Mysterious Sovereign'' also go to that ce?" Lin Yuan asked.


    "I don''t know," Shen Ji shook his head. "The master didn''t leave any memories rted to that."


    Hearing this, Lin Yuan didn''t press further. The reason behind the Devil Jade Tower master''s disappearance was far too distant from his current concerns.


    Even if he knew, what could he do about it? It was meaningless.


    He had better use his time to figure out the source of the summoning sensation in the core region of the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm.


    Main Star of the Milky Way.


    A faint and subtle spatial fluctuation, guided by the Devil Jade Mark, descended in front of Lin Yuan.


    "A micro-universe."


    Lin Yuan looked at the grayish sphere floating in front of him, his eyes gleaming slightly.


    This was a fully independent micro-universe, existing outside the main universe, with its own time rules.


    Most importantly, this micro-universe could be refined by Lin Yuan, allowing him to observe the operation of its time rules from the most fundamental perspective.


    Although the main universe also had time rules, Lin Yuan could only observe and study them from the outside. But with this micro-universe, Lin Yuan could enter and observe from within.


    The difference between the two was immense.


    "Refine it now." Lin Yuan immediately began the process of refining it.


    Several dayster.


    Lin Yuan hadpletely refined the micro-universe.


    This treasure was specifically provided by the master of the Devil Jade Tower for its members, so there were no hidden traps. Lin Yuan found the refinement process very easy.


    Buzz.


    As soon as he refined the micro-universe, Lin Yuan''s consciousness plunged into it.


    Vast time rules, spatial rules, life rules, and other fundamental rules were all reflected in his mind.


    All the rules formed a stable bnce, supporting the operation of this micro-universe.


    "Is this aplete universe?" Lin Yuan was somewhat awed. Although he had once be a presence akin to the Heavenly Dao in the Azure World, the Azure World was just a small world in the boundless void. How could itpare to a micro-universe?


    Moreover, when Lin Yuan became the Heavenly Dao in the Azure World, he was still weak. Even if the essence of the Great Dao was ced before him, he wouldn''t have been able toprehend much.


    But now, after refining this micro-universe, all the rules were reflected in his mind.


    This micro-universe, though it appeared to be a small sphere half a meter in size, contained space spanning hundreds of light-years. Although it was far smaller than the main universe, its core essence was simr.


    "Time..." Lin Yuan was nearly entranced, carefully sensing the operation of the time rules within the micro-universe.


    [Your unrivaled insight grants you rapidprehension of the time rules as you observe the essence of time.]


    After several hours, Lin Yuan reluctantly pulled himself out of his state of enlightenment.


    "This micro-universe is more valuable to me than any secret treasure or weapon," Lin Yuan muttered to himself.


    The micro-universe had almost no offensive or defensive capabilities, but it allowed various rules to form a certain bnce.


    This would be extremely helpful in the future when transforming his inner world into an inner universe, fully independent of the main universe.


    Transforming one''s inner world into an inner universe was one of the thresholds to bing a Strongest One.


    The reason the Strongest Ones could exist eternally was because of their inner universe.


    An inner universe exists independently, with its own river of time, enabling a Strongest One to transcend the river of time in the main universe, achieving the eternity of body, soul, mind, and will.


    "The master of the Devil Jade Tower..." Lin Yuan''s admiration for the master of the Devil Jade Tower grew.


    Although this micro-universe was far inferior to the inner universe of a Strongest One, it was a perfect replica of an inner universe.


    It allowed beings below the level of Strongest Ones to glimpse some aspects of the ultimate domain.


    "Continue studying."


    After a short rest, Lin Yuan took out the micro-universe again and began observing it carefully.


    Time passed.


    Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm.


    The Yang Primordial Spirit finally reached the core area.


    Rumble.


    Layers of space shook, and eventually, a figure appeared.


    It was Lin Yuan.


    "Finally arrived." A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face. From entering the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm to reaching the core area, it had taken nearly thirty years.


    This didn''t include the time after Lin Yuanpleted his ninth transmigration, when his strength greatly increased, and his traveling speed soared.


    It took over twenty years just to reach the core area from the outer region of the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm. Then, it would take another twenty years to return to the outer region and wait to be expelled from the secret realm.


    All in all, the round trip would take fifty years.


    "The rewards from this journey..."


    Lin Yuan nced at his inner world, where a pile of ''Mysterious Emperor Crystals'' and numerous treasures and weapons were stored.


    Although Lin Yuan didn''t deliberately seek out hostile rank-nine alien races along the way, he asionally encountered some. And once he did, they rarely escaped, not even the special rank-nines.


    In addition to some indigenous beings who weren''t afraid of death, Lin Yuan''s gains exceeded eight million universe crystals.


    "Only in the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm could such an opportunity arise," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    First, only rank-nine beings were allowed into the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm.


    If this were in the outside world, on the battlefield against alien races, beings like Lin Yuan would definitely be targeted by rank-ten beings or rank-nine beings wielding rank-eleven secret treasures. There was no way they would allow Lin Yuan to kill freely.


    Second, most of the powerful alien beings on the battlefield wouldn''t carry valuable treasures. Although the rank-nine alien beings in the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm also didn''t carry anything too valuable, they had many resources like Mysterious Emperor Crystals.


    Although most of the Mysterious Emperor Crystals Lin Yuan obtained came from the indigenous beings, he also got quite a few from the powerful beings who had been summoned.


    The efforts previously made by the Ninth-Rank alien beings who died at Lin Yuan''s hands were all for Lin Yuan.


    "The sense of calling is getting stronger."


    Lin Yuan carefully sensed it. After entering the core area, the sense of calling increased significantly.


    However, apart from some indistinct tones of "Mysterious Emperor," Lin Yuan couldn''t make out the rest.


    "That direction."


    Lin Yuan pinpointed the location based on the sense of calling and immediately headed towards the source.


    In the core area of the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm.


    In front of an ancient and mysterious pce.


    Several figures with concealed auras were standing there.


    These figures were all Ninth-Rank experts who had arrived early. Being able to enter the core area directly after the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm opened meant they were special Ninth-Rank experts who had opened millions ofyers of spatial realms.


    "This pce appeared suddenly; it was never here before," said a Ninth-Rank alien with dark golden scales, his gaze fiery.


    In the core area of the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm, every chance ce contains the most precious treasures, generally surpassing those in the inner and outer regions. This pce had never appeared before.


    The sudden appearance of a pce that had never been seen before made the special Ninth-Rank experts on the scene realize that it contained great opportunities.


    "Our n''s records indeed have no mention of this pce," another special Ninth-Rank expert observed and spoke.


    He came from a peak n with detailed information about the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm. Many chance ces were recorded, but this pce was seen for the first time.


    "But how do we get inside?" asked the third special Ninth-Rank expert.


    It was obvious to anyone with a discerning eye that this pce contained great opportunities, but no matter how great the opportunity, one must enter to obtain it. Being blocked outside and watching was worse than never having seen it.


    "This pce seems topletely block our attacks; breaking in directly doesn''t seem hopeful." The special Ninth-Rank expert with golden scales frowned.


    From the moment he discovered the pce, he had attempted to forcefully break in, but it was futile. His full-power strike had no effect on the pce.


    "Could it be that there are specific conditions to enter this pce?" Another special Ninth-Rank expert spoke. In the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm, some chance ces indeed had specific conditions.


    However, these conditions were generallymon and often indicated outside the pce.


    As the special Ninth-Rank experts continued to observe the pce, a fluctuation came from deep within the spatialyers.


    "Mm?"


    The expressions of the special Ninth-Rank experts changed.


    "Who is it?"


    The special Ninth-Rank expert with golden scales looked grave.


    "Milky Way Star Lord."


    "The Milky Way Star Lord ising."


    Some special Ninth-Rank experts'' faces darkened.


    The intelligence about the Milky Way Star Lord had be almost universally known among Ninth-Rank experts in the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm during this period.


    These special Ninth-Rank experts had naturally heard of it.


    The Milky Way Star Lord was a monster with the ability to kill special Ninth-Rank experts.


    This was extremely rare in any era.


    "What should we do?"


    "The Milky Way Star Lord is obviouslying for this pce."


    The special Ninth-Rank experts exchanged nces, their expressions hesitant.


    "Leave."


    "We can''t stay."


    After a brief psychological struggle, the special Ninth-Rank experts quickly departed.


    They were very eager for the opportunities within the mysterious ancient pce, but they were even more fearful of the Milky Way Star Lord.


    Even without this mysterious pce, they could still gain a lot within the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm. But if they were to die at the hands of the Milky Way Star Lord because of this pce, everything would be in vain.


    Especially for those special Ninth-Rank experts with poor rtions with human civilization, they left without hesitation.


    The fate of other special Ninth-Rank experts encountering the Milky Way Star Lord depended on luck; if the Milky Way Star Lord was in a good mood, they might survive.


    But as soon as they dared to approach the Milky Way Star Lord, they were essentially doomed.


    Soon.


    Outside the mysterious ancient pce.


    There was no one left.


    Whoosh.


    The next moment.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared silently.


    "They''ve all run away?"


    Lin Yuan nced at the direction the special Ninth-Rank experts had fled.


    If it were before, he might have pursued them, as each special Ninth-Rank expert was like a mobile opportunity in Lin Yuan''s eyes.


    But now, "Is the sense of callinging from this pce?" Lin Yuan carefully observed the pce before him.


    The pce had a mysterious and ancient aura, spanning multiple spatialyers. Its main body should be in a certain spatialyer, and the pce before him was likely just the entrance to the real pce.


    "How to get in?" Lin Yuan didn''t act immediately but continued to observe.


    Based on the behavior of the special Ninth-Rank experts outside the pce, Lin Yuan could deduce that they couldn''t forcibly enter.


    As Lin Yuan stood outside the pce.


    Deep within the pce, a certain consciousness began to awaken. It gazed from afar at Lin Yuan standing outside the pce, with an excited expression.


    "I have waited for several cosmic epochs, and finally, a little fellow capable of inheriting His Majesty''s legacy has arrived."

 Chapter 336

    Outside the Pce.


    Lin Yuan was carefully observing the grand structure in front of him, which spanned across multiple spatialyers¡ªan incredible sight.


    "ording to the intelligence from human civilization regarding the core area of the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm, no simr pce has ever appeared in past openings of the secret realm?"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    It hadn''t appeared before.


    So why is it here now?


    Lin Yuan couldn''t help but suspect that it was rted to him.


    The calling sensation he felt wasing from deep within this pce.


    Boom.At that moment, the entrance of the pce, which had been sealed, slowly began to open.


    "Hmm?"


    "The door opened?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression became serious. If he had merely suspected that the pce''s appearance was due to him before, he was now almost certain of it.


    The special Ninth Rank individuals had been loitering outside the pce for quite some time without entering, yet the door opened on its own after he had only been there for a short while?


    "So be it."


    "I''ll go in and take a look."


    After a moment of contemtion, Lin Yuan made up his mind.


    For him, the worst-case scenario would be the loss of this body, but it wouldn''t affect his true body. With the Divine Sealing Bead bestowed by the strongest one, Xia Qin, even a Twelfth Rank individual wouldn''t be able topletely kill Lin Yuan.


    The origins of the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm were unknown, and even ultimate beings couldn''t lock onto its coordinates, but that didn''t necessarily mean it was more terrifying than the strongest one.


    If the humanoid statue Shen Ji was correct, the ''Mysterious Sovereign'' of the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm had disappeared ages ago, almost forgotten by the time of the Devil Jade Tower master''s era.


    How much could possibly remain now?


    But before entering the pce, Lin Yuan took out a drop of essence blood and ced the treasures he had acquired in the secret realm into a spatial ring. He then sent both deep into multiple spatialyers.


    This way, even if the worst-case scenario urred and his divine soul perished inside the pce, the drop of essence blood could quickly perform a ''Blood Rebirth'' and leave the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm with the spatial ring''s contents.


    It wouldn''t be a wasted trip.


    "Let''s go in."


    Lin Yuan collected his thoughts and stepped into the pce.


    As soon as Lin Yuan fully entered the pce, the previously open door slowly closed, and the grand pce began to rapidly fade, eventually disappearing from its original location.


    If those special Ninth Rank individuals who had fled earlier were to return, they would find that the mysterious pce hadpletely vanished as if it had never existed.


    However, given the reputation of the Milky Way Star Lord, even those special Ninth Rank individuals wouldn''t dare approach the location where Lin Yuan had once appeared, no matter how brave they were.


    Lin Yuan entered the pce.


    He vaguely sensed obscure spatial fluctuations and thought to himself, "I should be far from the main spatialyer of the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm now, but I don''t know which spatialyer I''m in."


    The number of spatialyers in the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm far exceeded those in the world of the gods. Even after traversing more than two billion spatialyers, Lin Yuan still couldn''t see the end.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan looked around. He found himself on a vast in, silent and still. In the center of the in stood another pce, simr to the one outside, but its aura was much more peaceful.


    "The Mysterious Sovereign''s Pce?"


    Lin Yuan noticed the threeplex characters engraved on the pirs of the pce. Although he had never encountered these characters before, they seemed to represent the very foundation of the Great Dao, and he understood their meaning at a nce.


    "So, it''s indeed the Mysterious Sovereign''s lineage."


    Lin Yuan''s mind settled slightly. The humanoid statue Shen Ji had shared some information about the Mysterious Sovereign''s lineage with him.


    Though the information was limited, it was enough for Lin Yuan to confirm that the Mysterious Sovereign''s lineage wasn''t an extreme evil sect.


    In fact, through the ''Mysterious Emperor'' evolution path, Lin Yuan could sense that the creator of this evolution path had a magnanimous and profound nature¡ªcertainly not the kind of being who would set traps for future generations. Such a powerful being would likely scorn the idea.


    Soon, Lin Yuan reached the front of the Mysterious Sovereign''s Pce.


    At this moment, the pce did not exert any oppressive aura on Lin Yuan; it felt like an ordinary pce.


    Standing before it, the calling sensation Lin Yuan had been feeling nearly became tangible.


    "Child,e in." At that moment, an old voice echoed from within the pce.


    Without hesitation, Lin Yuan strode into the pce.


    Deep inside the pce, a figure several dozen meters tall was seated cross-legged.


    "Child, you must have many questions in your mind right now." The figure, though humanoid, had six arms, wrinkled skin, and a smile on its face as it looked at Lin Yuan.


    "I can''t sense any aura from him?" Lin Yuan''s expression became more serious.


    Even an Eleventh Rank individual wouldn''t give Lin Yuan such a feeling; at most, they''d be unbeatable, impossible to resist.


    "Could he be a Twelfth Rank?" Lin Yuan looked gravely at the figure. He had encountered the strongest one, Xia Qin, but that was in the virtual world.


    As for meeting one in reality¡ªhe never had.


    "Child, don''t worry. Since you''ve cultivated His Majesty''s evolution path, you are considered a disciple of His Majesty. I won''t harm you."


    The six-armed figure smiled and said.


    "His Majesty''s evolution path?"


    Lin Yuan had already anticipated this. The calling sensation he felt originated from the Mysterious Emperor evolution path he had been cultivating, which was connected to the Mysterious Sovereign of the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm.


    When Lin Yuan first learned about the Mysterious Sovereign from the humanoid statue Shen Ji, he had already spected that the ''Mysterious Emperor'' evolution path was the same path that the Mysterious Sovereign had taken.


    "Indeed."


    "Throughout the ages, I''ve left the first half of the ''Mysterious Emperor'' evolution path in various locations within the secret realm. But unfortunately, no living being has ever fullyprehended the first half and entered the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm."


    The six-armed figure spoke with a tone of regret.


    "No living being?" Lin Yuan was puzzled.


    The ''Mysterious Emperor'' evolution path was indeed obscure and difficult to understand, but if a Ninth Rank individual forcefully tried toprehend it, there was a chance they could grasp it, even if it took a lot of time.


    When Lin Yuan firstprehended the ''Mysterious Emperor'' evolution path in the Seven Star Cave World, it didn''t take him very long.


    "Indeed."


    "The ''Mysterious Emperor'' evolution path was created by His Majesty. Only those whose foundation has not been set have a chance toprehend it."


    "Once the foundation is set, even an ultimate being won''t be able toprehend it."


    The six-armed figure slowly exined.


    What does it mean for a foundation to be set? ording to the definition of human civilization, it means reaching the Sixth Rank.


    To step into the Sixth Rank, one must confirm their core evolution path and achieve a 100% fusion with their soul.


    So, theoretically speaking, every Sixth Rank individual has confirmed their foundation.


    Of course, even if the foundation has been set, it can be changed at a cost. Some Sixth Rank and Seventh Rank evolvers in human civilization have attempted to switch to other evolution paths.


    But ording to the six-armed figure, the prerequisites forprehending the Mysterious Emperor evolution path were extraordinarily strict. As long as the foundation was set,prehension was impossible.


    "I see."


    Lin Yuan understood. No wonder the Red Kun Star Lord had made no progress in tens of thousands of years after obtaining the Mysterious Emperor evolution path¡ªthe problemy in this.


    "I can sense that there are some beings outside the secret realm who have cultivated the Mysterious Emperor evolution path to the entry level, but they are too weak to even qualify for the calling sensation."


    The six-armed figure sighed.


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    He wasn''t the first toprehend the Mysterious Emperor evolution path. Ten thousand years ago, the Red Kun Star Lord''s disciple had alsoprehended it.


    But¡ª


    The growth of a strong one is fraught with difficulties.


    To qualify to enter the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm, one must be at least an invincible Eighth Rank, and most of the strong ones who enter the secret realm are at the Ninth Rank.


    And how many lives does it take to produce a Ninth Rank? A hundred million? Ten billion? A hundred billion? A trillion? Ten trillion?


    Far more than that.


    The Red Kun Star Domain has more than a million lifes. With a poption of around 50 billion per.


    In reality, the actual poption of the Red Kun Star Domain is far more than this, and the citizens on some high-level lifes far exceed this number.


    Moreover, citizens don''t only live on lifes; many resources and specials also haverge poptions.


    But since the opening of the Red Kun Star Domain, not a single Ninth Rank individual has emerged.


    To enter the Mysterious Emperor evolution path, the most important factor is thepatibility with this path.


    This alone filters out the vast majority of people, and even those who manage toprehend it find it extremely difficult to continue cultivating it to the Seventh, Eighth, or Ninth Rank.


    It''s no exaggeration to say it''s as difficult as climbing the heavens.


    The fact is, most strong ones, upon finding out they can''tprehend the Mysterious Emperor evolution path, stop paying attention to it. Only a few, like the Red Kun Star Lord, ce great importance on it.


    But even if they value it, it''s useless; they must cultivate to the invincible Eighth Rank or even the Ninth Rank.


    These restrictions might not seem impossible individually, but together¡ªthey''re almost insurmountable, as the six-armed figure''s tone indicated.


    Since the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm opened, Lin Yuan is the first.


    "But it''s fortunate that I waited for you." The six-armed figure looked at Lin Yuan and slowly said.


    "Are you a strongest one?" Lin Yuan thought for a moment and asked his question.


    "I''m not a strongest one." The six-armed figure was slightly taken aback, then shook its head. "I am merely a consciousness formed by this secret realm."


    "A consciousness formed by the secret realm?" Lin Yuan quickly understood.


    The Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm might be called a secret realm, but it could be considered a world, and the so-called consciousness formed by the secret realm is akin to a world consciousness or a Heavenly Dao.


    In the Azure World, Lin Yuan had reced the world consciousness with the consciousness of the Primordial Demon Tree, making it the Heavenly Dao of that world.


    Over the years, the consciousness of the Primordial Demon Tree had been carrying out themands Lin Yuan left behind.


    The six-armed figure before him was probably simr, carrying out the instructions left by the Mysterious Sovereign over countless ages.


    "Back then, His Majesty established 33,333 Mysterious Emperor secret realms, leaving behind corresponding legacies. I wonder how many of them still remain now."


    The six-armed figure spoke with a tone of nostalgia.


    Lin Yuan couldn''t help but be astonished at this revtion.


    The Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm, whose coordinates couldn''t even be locked onto by the strongest ones, had 33,333 counterparts?


    Lin Yuan was well aware of the profound foundation of the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm. Calling it a secret realm was an understatement¡ªit was more like the Mysterious Emperor''s world.


    "But all of that is in the past. After His Majesty disappeared, the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm lost its source of power and has been gradually declining. If you hadn''t appeared, it would have taken only a few billion to several hundred billion years for me to fall into a deep sleep with the secret realm."


    The six-armed figure exined.


    Billions of years?


    Lin Yuan looked at the six-armed figure.


    But for the strongest ones, billions of years weren''t a long time.


    The Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm was created by His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign and should have remained eternal as long as the Mysterious Sovereign existed.


    In fact, it''s not just worlds¡ªentire universes can eventually decay, which is why the concept of cosmic epochs exists.


    The internal universe of the strongest ones can remain eternal because they constantly intervene and adjust.


    "If I fall into a deep sleep or even perish, it doesn''t matter, but His Majesty''s legacy, His Majesty''s efforts, cannot be lost."


    The six-armed figure spoke with a determined tone.


    Lin Yuan quietly listened. He knew that he didn''t need to ask; the six-armed figure would voluntarily exin why he had been called here.


    Lin Yuan didn''t believe that the call from the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm, which had crossed countless light-years, was merely to have him listen to someone''s ints.''


    "You may have guessed it already¡ªthe call you felt from your cultivation of the Mysterious Emperor''s evolution path is because anyone who sessfully enters the Mysterious Emperor evolution path is considered His Majesty''s disciple."


    "But to inherit His Majesty''s true legacy, being a disciple isn''t enough."


    The six-armed figure looked at Lin Yuan. "One must pass the numerous trials set by His Majesty."


    "I understand."


    Lin Yuan responded.


    The Devil Jade Tower master had also left nineyers of trials, and only those who passed eachyer could receive the corresponding rewards.


    Lin Yuan was already familiar with this concept.


    In human civilization and among the major peak races, the same principle applied¡ªif you wanted something, you had to pass the tests.


    "What trials do I need to pass?" Lin Yuan immediately asked.


    "What trials?" The six-armed figure fell silent, its expression turning strange as it looked at Lin Yuan.


    "His Majesty established 68 lower trials, 25 intermediate trials, and 6 advanced trials."


    "Only those who pass all the trials can inherit everything from the Mysterious Sovereign''s lineage within this secret realm."


    The six-armed figure paused for a moment before continuing, "But for you, there''s no need to go through all that trouble."


    The six-armed figure gazed at Lin Yuan. As the ''Heavenly Dao'' of this secret realm, it knew everything Lin Yuan had done within the realm.


    There was no need to mention anything else¡ªjust the number of spatialyers Lin Yuan had traversed was enough to shock the six-armed figure.


    This Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm only allowed invincible Eighth Rank and Ninth Rank beings to enter, so all the trials set by the Mysterious Sovereign were targeted at Ninth Rank beings.


    But Lin Yuan?


    How could he be tested?


    How could he be trialed?


    "No need for all that trouble?"


    Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.


    "Indeed."


    The six-armed figure waved its right hand, and a yellow crystal appeared in front of Lin Yuan.


    The aura of this yellow crystal was exceptionally pure, faintly connected to the entire Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm.


    The six-armed figure looked at Lin Yuan and said, "All you need to do is refine this secret realm core, and you will be the new master of this secret realm. Everything within the secret realm, including the treasures and legacy of the Mysterious Sovereign''s lineage, will be yours."

 Chapter 337

    "Is it really that simple?" Lin Yuan was somewhat astonished. He could sense the unique nature of the earthy-yellow crystal before him.


    The faint connection it had with the entire Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm made Lin Yuan certain that the six-armed figure wasn''t lying.


    As long as he refined this earthy-yellow crystal, he would be able to inherit the entire Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm.


    By then, the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm, which even the Strongest ones couldn''t pinpoint, would be Lin Yuan''s private garden.


    However¡ª


    Was it really this easy?


    No battles fought.


    No trials experienced.


    No obstacles encountered.He had just entered the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm, reached the core area, and obtained all of this?


    "Simple?" The six-armed figure thought for a moment, "It is indeed simple."


    In fact, His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign had left behind many trials and numerous obstacles.


    But the six-armed figure had observed part of Lin Yuan''s strength and knew that those trials and obstacles would be meaningless.


    So he simply didn''t bother with them and directly handed everything over to Lin Yuan.


    "Your aptitude, your talent, they are worthy of the gift from my Mysterious Emperor lineage," the six-armed figure said directly.


    He was just short of writing "I have high hopes for Lin Yuan" on his face.


    "I can sense that the real years you have lived through are not long, definitely not more than four thousand years."


    "In such a short time, you''ve developed so manyyers of space. I''ve never seen such a foundation. I believe you have a great chance of bing a Twelfth-Rank Lifeform."


    The six-armed figure looked at Lin Yuan. "His Majesty would be pleased to have a sessor like you."


    "I understand now." Lin Yuan suddenly realized that the six-armed figure had been watching him all along.


    Indeed, as the ''Heavenly Dao'' of the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm, nothing within the secret realm could be hidden from him.


    "What can I do for His Majesty?" Lin Yuan put away the earthy-yellow crystal and asked.


    "There''s nothing you need to do," the six-armed figure said meaningfully. "You just need to remember the name of ''His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign'' and, in the future, spread the Mysterious Emperor''s Evolution Path."


    "I know that cultivating the Mysterious Emperor''s Evolution Path has a high threshold, but that''s okay. With your talent and aptitude, you will live a very long time in the future, so you can do it as you see fit."


    The six-armed figure said.


    "Remember the name of His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign."


    "And spread the Mysterious Emperor''s Evolution Path?"


    Lin Yuan didn''t find this hard to aplish, especially since the six-armed figure hadn''t set any standards, like specifying how many years it must be done within.


    This left very flexible standards, and even if Lin Yuan didn''t actively pursue it in the future, it wouldn''t be a problem.


    "Correct."


    "At His Majesty''s level, the concept of life and death no longer exists. As long as future generations still remember his name, as long as his cultivation method continues to be passed down in the world, perhaps in an unimaginably distant future, there will be a day when he returns."


    A trace of hope appeared in the six-armed figure''s tone.


    "Return?"


    Lin Yuan was startled.


    Although the six-armed figure hadn''t said it explicitly, and the humanoid statue in the Devil Jade Space, Shen Ji, had not made a conclusion, Lin Yuan subconsciously believed that His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign had already fallen, and the owner of the Devil Jade Tower had also fallen.


    After all, if they weren''t dead, how could they have remained missing for so long? Even if they were trapped, they should have had some means of contacting the outside world.


    But from what the six-armed figure was implying, even if His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign had indeed died, could he still return?


    Returning would mean resurrection.


    The Strongest ones could resurrect others, but how could the Strongest ones themselves be resurrected?


    The essence of resurrection is reversing the river of time, pulling out the fallen beings from the past and bringing them back to the present moment.


    But the Strongest ones?


    They have long since transcended the river of time, with the past, present, and future being one. If a Strongest one dies, it''s impossible to resurrect them because their life imprint cannot be found in the past.


    And even if it could be found, who could bear the cost of resurrecting a Strongest one?


    Resurrecting a lifeform as strong as a Strongest one is not without cost. The cost is borne by the Strongest one performing the resurrection, and the more powerful the resurrected lifeform, the greater the bacsh.


    Normally, resurrecting a Rank Eleven powerhouse is enough to have a significant impact on a Strongest one. But resurrecting another Strongest one of the same level?


    The Strongest one would fall because of it.


    Strongest ones have eternal lifespans, but that doesn''t mean they cannot die.


    "It''s just a possibility. His Majesty, after all, didn''t take that final step." The six-armed figure shook his head and said.


    "The final step?"


    Lin Yuan looked at the six-armed figure.


    Such secrets are only known to those at the ultimate level.


    "You should know that the Evolution Path contains the Dao of its creator," the six-armed figure said.


    "As long as His Majesty''s ''Dao'' remains, it means that His Majesty has notpletely died."


    "And His Majesty''s name is unique as well. Remembering His Majesty''s name can also assist in his return."


    "So that''s how it is."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. The significance of an ultimate existence surpasses his imagination.


    Of course, His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign must have gone very far in the ultimate field and possesses some characteristics that transcend the ultimate, which is why there''s hope of returning after death.


    It''s just unknown whether the owner of the Devil Jade Tower has reached this level. The Devil Jade Space is merely a training ground left behind by the owner of the Devil Jade Tower, different from a true legacy like the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm.


    "Alright."


    "If you want to refine the core of the secret realm, it might take some time. Now, let me introduce you to the treasures and legacies within the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm."


    The six-armed figure was in a good mood. Having found such an outstanding sessor for His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign, even though this sessor seemed very weak now, there was finally hope for the future.


    Perhaps before this secret realm perished, he might witness Lin Yuan stepping into the ultimate field?


    "Treasures and legacies?"


    Lin Yuan was slightly curious, and his expression showed anticipation.


    The earthy-yellow crystal was stored in his internal world, where it was being refined with the power of the world. Lin Yuan realized that it wouldn''t be refined in a short time.


    However, it probably wouldn''t take too long.


    Based on the sensation this crystal gave Lin Yuan, once it was fully refined, Lin Yuan would be the ''Master'' of the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm, possessing all ''permissions.''


    "First is the ''Source of Mysterious Emperor,'' also known externally as the ''Mysterious Emperor Crystal.''" The six-armed figure moved with a thought, and the surroundings shifted, bringing Lin Yuan to a vast space.


    "That mountain?"


    The first thing Lin Yuan noticed was a small mountain in the distance.


    The small mountain was earthy-yellow in color, only a few hundred meters high, and looked utterly unremarkable.


    However¡ª


    "Is that mountain made entirely of Mysterious Emperor Crystals?"


    Lin Yuan was somewhat shocked. In the outside world, a Mysterious Emperor Crystal the size of a fist could sell for a sky-high price of ten thousand Universe Crystals.


    But right now, this small mountain in front of him, several hundred meters high, was made entirely of Mysterious Emperor Crystals?


    How many Universe Crystals was this worth? Lin Yuan''s mind moved rapidly, and he quickly calcted that the value of this mountain, in terms of Universe Crystals, would be measured in trillions upon trillions.


    Trillions upon trillions of what? Not civilization coins, not Universe coins, but Universe Crystals.


    The entire wealth of an eighth-rank powerhouse might be around ten thousand Universe Crystals, and a ninth-rank powerhouse might have no more than 300M.


    And here, the value of the Mysterious Emperor Crystals reached trillions upon trillions?


    "In fact, these Mysterious Emperor Crystals were collected after the indigenous life forms in the secret realm died of old age," the six-armed figure shook his head and said. "And as time passed, a significant portion of the Mysterious Emperor Crystals naturally dissipated."


    "Died of old age?"


    Lin Yuan was amazed.


    Below the Strongest ones, unless they were like Shen Ji, the humanoid statue, a ''puppet'' or ''artifact spirit,'' every living being had a lifespan limit.


    Only by achieving the ultimate could one attain eternity.


    "Are all these mine?" Lin Yuan asked.


    "They are all yours," the six-armed figure smiled and said.


    Although Lin Yuan hadn''t yet refined the core of the secret realm and wasn''t technically the master of the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm, in the eyes of the six-armed figure, Lin Yuan had already been chosen.


    "I have a suggestion," the six-armed figure hesitated for a moment before speaking.


    "Please go ahead," Lin Yuan responded immediately.


    "It''s best not to take all these Mysterious Emperor Crystals out at once," the six-armed figure said.


    "Each time the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm opens, there are always more than one Strongest ones trying to lock down its specific location."


    "But how could they break the means left by His Majesty?" The six-armed figure scoffed. "Those Strongest ones want to obtain the legacy left by His Majesty, but they have never seeded."


    The six-armed figure was implying something.


    Lin Yuan immediately understood.


    The Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm had opened many times.


    Each time it opened, how much of the Mysterious Emperor Crystals would be released? The amount would vary, but not too much.


    If Lin Yuan took this mountain of Mysterious Emperor Crystals out into the world and spread them around in a short period, it would undoubtedly attract the attention of the major peak ns. Why had so many Mysterious Emperor Crystals been released this time?


    While the possibility was small, it was still likely that some peak ns would suspect that a ninth-rank powerhouse had gained recognition from the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm, which is why they were able to acquire so many Mysterious Emperor Crystals at once.


    If this suspicion arose, all the ninth-rank powerhouses who entered during this opening of the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm would be scrutinized, and Lin Yuan, as one of the most outstanding among them, would be a focal point.


    Even if the Human Civilization protected him and other peak ns couldn''t intervene, there was a small chance that someone within the Human Civilization would ask Lin Yuan about this matter.


    At that point, how would Lin Yuan respond?


    Lie? The Human Civilization''s leaders might not believe him.


    Tell the truth? What if the Human Civilization asked Lin Yuan to open the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm to let human evolvers in for training?


    Or what if they requested Lin Yuan hand over the treasures and legacies from the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm?


    Lin Yuan''s strength was still too weak. Holding onto a treasure coveted by even the Strongest ones, like the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm, was a case ofcking the virtue to match the power.


    Of course.


    These were just remote possibilities.


    The greater likelihood was that the Human Civilization would still value Lin Yuan''s potential and wouldn''t risk alienating the most talented genius in human history over something as trivial as the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm.


    But Lin Yuan wasn''t going to allow himself to face such moral dilemmas.


    "You could take out a portion of the Mysterious Emperor Crystals every hundred thousand years. If you spread it out over hundreds or even a thousand times, it shouldn''t attract too much attention."


    The six-armed figure said.


    Every time the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm opened, some Mysterious Emperor Crystals would be released. The amount would fluctuate, but as long as it didn''t increase too much at once, it wouldn''t cause a significant impact.


    "Understood."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    At that moment, a strong desire for power surged within him. If he were a Strongest one, he wouldn''t have to hide anything. Even if he announced to the entire universe that the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm was his, what could others do?


    Without a Strongest one overseeing it, the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm could already prevent other Strongest ones from prying into it. If it had a Strongest one watching over it, who would dare to have an opinion?


    "There are also some weapons, secret treasures, minerals, nts, blood, and the corpses of special life forms, among other things," the six-armed figure said. "These were all left behind by ninth-rank powerhouses who tried to stay in the secret realm."


    The Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm opens once every two hundred thousand years, and when it does, it stays open for a hundred years.


    The secret realm contains many ces of opportunity, as well as the Mysterious Emperor Crystals found within the indigenous life forms.


    For many ninth-rank lifeforms across the universe, the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm is an absolute treasure trove. The opportunities in a hundred years are worth more than tens of thousands of years of umtion.


    What if one could remain in the secret realm after it closed and only leave when it opened again?


    What would the harvest be like then?


    Two hundred thousand years is not too long for ninth-rank lifeforms.


    So, during the first few times the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm opened, a significant number of ninth-rank lifeforms tried to stay in the secret realm after it closed.


    Even now, some ninth-rank powerhouses still refuse to give up, trying all kinds of ways to stay in the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm.


    After all, the rewards are too great. Just a hundred years is worth tens of thousands of years of umtion. What about two hundred thousand years?


    "So many?" Lin Yuan''s eyes brightened.


    With just one nce, Lin Yuan saw that there were about two hundred and forty-eight ninth-rank secret treasures, along with some special life form corpses and other items.


    The corpses of special life forms are extremely valuable, as their bloodlines can be extracted to create bloodline potions. When Lin Yuan was previously sweeping through the Milky Way Star Domain, he killed some special life forms and turned them into bloodline potions.


    Lin Yuan could predict that, as the bloodline cultivation branch of the Martial Dao Evolution Path developed, it would significantly advance human civilization''s understanding of bloodlines.


    By then, bloodline potions from rted special life forms would be priceless.


    "Lastly."


    "It is the legacy left by His Majesty."


    The six-armed figure looked at Lin Yuan, and the surroundings shifted once again, bringing them to a space only a few miles in radius.


    "His Majesty''s legacy is divided into two categories."


    "One is the Evolution Path."


    "The other is secret techniques."


    The six-armed figure said.


    "Evolution Path?" Lin Yuan''s spirit was slightly stirred.


    "Yes."


    "The Mysterious Emperor''s Evolution Path you are cultivating is the preliminary stage of the Evolution Path left by His Majesty."


    The six-armed figure raised his right hand and pointed at Lin Yuan. Instantly, a vast amount of information surged into him.


    Theplete Mysterious Emperor''s Evolution Path, from the first stage to the twelfth stage.


    Information from the first stage to the twelfth stage was rapidly absorbed by Lin Yuan.


    "It truly is a Strongest one''s Evolution Path," Lin Yuan thought with delight after briefly reviewing it.


    This was the first time Lin Yuan had encountered an Evolution Path of the Strongest ones outside of the nine Strongest Evolution Paths of Human Civilization.


    In the Devil Jade Tower, after clearing the third and fourthyers, there was a reward that included a partial Strongest Evolution Path, but Lin Yuan ultimately chose the ''Microcosm.''


    "The Evolution Path left by His Majesty has a high threshold. No ultimate existence has yet emerged from it," the six-armed figure said.


    "No ultimate existence has emerged?" Lin Yuan''s eyes brightened. This meant that this Evolution Path was far more valuable than he had imagined.


    Strongest Evolution Pathse in two types.


    One is those that have produced ultimate existences.


    The other is those that have not.


    The former is moremon, such as the nine Strongest Evolution Paths of Human Civilization, while thetter is exceedingly rare.


    So rare, in fact, that it defies description.


    This represents a slot for an ultimate existence.


    "But don''t get your hopes up too high. I can sense that in other universes, there are beings who have cultivated the Mysterious Emperor''s Evolution Path to the eleventh rank," the six-armed figure added.


    "Other universes?"


    Lin Yuan nodded lightly.


    When His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign first created the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm, he established a total of 33,333 secret realms.


    Even if most of these secret realms had perished, some still remained.


    The principle of not putting all your eggs in one basket was something His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign clearly understood. Just as Lin Yuan received the legacy of this Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm, other secret realms might also have sessors who met the requirements.


    "Here are the secret techniques."


    The six-armed figure pointed once more.


    In an instant, a vast amount of information surged into Lin Yuan''s mind again.


    After a long time.


    Lin Yuan finally absorbed it.


    His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign had left behind three secret techniques.


    To be precise, three categories.


    Attack.


    Defense.


    Escape.


    The attack secret technique was ''Mysterious Emperor Strike.''


    The defense secret technique was ''Mysterious Emperor''s Body.''


    The escape secret technique was ''Steps Through Time and Space.''


    "This?"


    Lin Yuan slightly pondered and understood the general effects of the three secret techniques, feeling quite shocked.


    When Lin Yuan became a core disciple of the Devil Jade Tower, he had also seen several secret techniques left by the owner of the Devil Jade Tower.


    After careful consideration, he chose ''Illusion to Reality,'' which had the greatest effect on him. It could fully utilize the mysterious gourd and greatly enhance thebat power of his two Primordial Spirits, taking them out of their awkward position.


    Lin Yuan''s choice of "Illusion to Reality" didn''t mean the other secret techniques were not effective.


    And now, the three secret techniques left by His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign showed Lin Yuan just how terrifying a secret technique created by a Strongest one could be.


    First, there was the Mysterious Emperor Strike, which gathered all one''s power to deliver a blow that exceeded one''s limits.


    This secret technique had four levels. The first level allowed a strike with twice one''s strength.


    The second level allowed a strike with three times one''s strength.


    The third level allowed a strike with four times one''s strength.


    The fourth level allowed a strike with five times one''s strength.


    Lin Yuan''s physical body ability, ''Enhancement,'' could instantly explode with ten times his strength.


    This seemed far beyond the secret technique ''Mysterious Emperor Strike.''


    But that wasn''t sustainable and required a price¡ªbriefly weakening him afterward.


    But the Mysterious Emperor Strike, once mastered at the corresponding level, could be fully integrated into any casual strike without any cost.

 Chapter 338

    In a way, the ''Mysterious Emperor Strike'' feels more like a ''passive'' secret technique. Of course, activating the ''Mysterious Emperor Strike'' consumes a lot of energy, but right now, thest thing Lin Yuan fears is consumption.


    With such a vast internal world, both in sheer size and depth, it''s countless timesrger than an ordinary Ninth-Rank.


    "If Ibine the ''Mysterious Emperor Strike'' with the ''Enhancement'' divine power, my burst attack..." Lin Yuan''s heart raced.


    So far, Lin Yuan''s defensive methods far surpassed his offensive capabilities. After all, the ''Enhancement'' divine power couldn''t be used recklessly.


    But with the ''Mysterious Emperor Strike,'' it would greatly make up for Lin Yuan''s offensive shorings.


    As for the defensive secret technique ''Mysterious Emperor''s Body,'' it is a body-refining technique.


    The body bes like the Mysterious Emperor, unyielding and immortal.


    This secret technique is also divided into four stages.


    Once fully mastered, the physical body and vitality would span millions of light-years, making it extremely difficult to destroy, even for an ultimate existence.Lin Yuan recalled that among the secret techniques left by the owner of the Devil Jade Tower, there was one called the ''Devil Jade Indestructible Body,'' which was also an extremely terrifying body-refining technique.


    He wasn''t sure how itpared to the ''Mysterious Emperor''s Body.''


    "Excellent, excellent, excellent."


    Lin Yuan was overjoyed.


    Although he had two major body-rted divine powers protecting him, along with the Divine Sealing Bead guarding his physical body, soul, and mind, the Blood Rebirth only enhanced his rebirth ability, not his physical strength. Meanwhile, the Elemental Body only granted immunity effects, not increased physical strength.


    The liquid in the mysterious gourd did enhance physical strength, but it wasn''t a secret technique.


    Most importantly, secret techniques could be universally practiced, by both the main body and the Primordial Spirit.


    For instance, the Divine Sealing Bead could only be used as a trump card by the main body, and Lin Yuan wasn''t willing to give the Divine Sealing Bead to his Primordial Spirit.


    If the Primordial Spirit died, so be it, Lin Yuan wouldn''t care. But if he lost the Divine Sealing Bead, he would definitely feel the pain.


    "Remember, there''s nothing taboo about ''Mysterious Emperor Strike'' and ''Mysterious Emperor''s Body.'' You should cultivate them ording to your situation. But even if you master ''Steps Through Time and Space,'' you must use it cautiously."


    The six-armed figure suddenly said.


    "''Steps Through Time and Space''?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression grew serious as the information about this secret technique surged into his mind.


    This was an escape technique, and what made it rare was that itbined the rules of time and space into one secret technique.


    The rules of time and space are the two foundational pirs of the universe, with time being particrly abstruse and difficult to understand, let alonebining these two rules to create a secret technique.


    "''Steps Through Time and Space'' allows you to traverse vast distances in an instant, but be aware that you can only take nine steps at most. Even a Strongest one can only take nine steps."


    The six-armed figure solemnly exined.


    "Even a Strongest one can only take nine steps?"


    Lin Yuan took note.


    If ''Mysterious Emperor Strike'' consumed energy based on ''quantity,'' then ''Steps Through Time and Space'' consumed energy based on ''proportion.''


    Regardless of the strength level, activating this secret technique to take one step would consume one-ninth of one''s vitality, soul, mind, and all other energies.


    Taking nine consecutive steps would exhaust everything.


    If you took one more step after that, it would cause irreversible damage to yourself.


    Of course.


    The price is steep.


    But the effect is astonishing.


    With Lin Yuan''s current realm and strength, activating ''Steps Through Time and Space,'' each step could cross millions of light-years.


    Millions of light-years.


    One step?


    Bear in mind that with ordinary great teleportation techniques, Lin Yuan could only cross thousands of light-years with all his might.


    Millions of light-years?


    Lin Yuan would need to take a thousand continuous steps.


    Even if each step took one breath, a thousand steps would take a thousand breaths.


    With this secret technique, even against a Rank Eleven powerhouse, as long as Lin Yuan hadn''t taken all nine steps, the opponent wouldn''t be able to catch up.


    By the time Lin Yuan had taken nine steps, he would probably have already reached a safe ce¡ªmillions of light-years per step, nine steps equating to tens of millions of light-years.


    Even in the vastness of the universe, tens of millions of light-years is not a short distance.


    "If a Strongest one were to use this secret technique, they could arrive at any location in the universe with just a single step." Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The stronger and higher the realm, the greater the distance covered by each step of this secret technique. If Lin Yuan could cover millions of light-years in one step, a Strongest one might cover half the universe in one step.


    No matter how far the destination, two steps would suffice.


    However, for a Strongest one, consuming one-ninth or two-ninths of their energy was not insignificant.


    "You have obtained all of His Majesty''s legacy," the six-armed figure looked at Lin Yuan. "Now, there is one more thing you need to do."


    "What is it?" Lin Yuan immediately asked.


    "Swear an oath," the six-armed figure said. "You may spread the Mysterious Emperor''s Evolution Path as you see fit, but the three secret techniques left by His Majesty must not be known by anyone other than His Majesty''s sessors."


    The three secret techniques¡ªfor attack, defense, and escape¡ªif known by many, could be exploited for their weaknesses.


    No secret technique is perfect. For example, ''Steps Through Time and Space'' seems unparalleled and unstoppable, but its w is clear: it can only take nine steps.


    After nine steps, one would fall into extreme weakness.


    If the enemy is unaware, it''s fine. But if they know and wait until you''ve taken nine steps before pursuing, what then?


    ''Mysterious Emperor Strike'' and ''Mysterious Emperor''s Body'' also have weaknesses, though not as significant as ''Steps Through Time and Space,'' so they absolutely must not be shared.


    This is not just about Lin Yuan as a sessor of the Mysterious Emperor but concerns other sessors in other universes as well.


    "No problem." Lin Yuan agreed without hesitation.


    Keeping it secret wasn''t an issue.


    Lin Yuan hadn''t nned on sharing it anyway.


    Such personal life-saving secret techniques¡ªif shared, wouldn''t that be like exposing your own weaknesses?


    "Good." The six-armed figure nodded. "Repeat after me."


    "I, disciple of His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign, swear by the Mysterious Emperor''s Mark that I will never reveal the Mysterious Emperor lineage''s protective secret techniques. If I vite this oath, my soul shall be obliterated."


    The six-armed figure looked at Lin Yuan.


    "I, disciple of His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign, swear by the Mysterious Emperor''s Mark that I will never reveal the Mysterious Emperor lineage''s protective secret techniques. If I vite this oath, my soul shall be obliterated."


    Lin Yuan thought for a moment and then repeated the words.


    As soon as Lin Yuan finished speaking, a mark resembling a towering earthy-yellow mountain formed deep within his soul and then quickly disappeared.


    "Mysterious Emperor''s Mark?" Lin Yuan felt a stir in his heart.


    Besides the Mysterious Emperor''s Mark, his soul also bore the Devil Jade Mark.


    "Alright." The six-armed figure let out a slight sigh of relief.


    "Since you are cultivating the Mysterious Emperor''s Evolution Path, you will naturally condense the Mysterious Emperor''s Mark. I know you are a lifeform within the universe and can be resurrected by an ultimate existence, but this oath is rooted in your memory.


    If you die because of this oath, even if you are resurrected, as long as your memory remains, you will continue to die, endlessly."


    "Don''t worry." Lin Yuan nodded.


    "But rest assured, as long as you don''t share the secret techniques, nothing will happen," the six-armed figure added.


    "Understood." Lin Yuan knew this well.


    The moment he made the oath, a surge of information filled his mind, and every word was clear and unmistakable, leaving no room for doubt.


    "This is the safest ce in the secret realm. You can stay here and refine the core of the secret realm," the six-armed figure said and then disappeared.


    "Refining the core of the secret realm."


    Lin Yuan exhaled softly.


    He then sat cross-legged, took out the earthy-yellow crystal, and began to infiltrate it with the power of his world, slowly refining it.


    "Hmm?"


    "So, this is the true form of the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm?" Through the core of the secret realm, Lin Yuan saw the full picture of the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm.


    The full picture of the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm consisted of three vast continents. The many Ninth-Rank powerhouses from the cosmic starry sky had only entered one of these continents.


    As for the other two continents, they remained closed off, shrouded in dense fog. Besides Lin Yuan and the six-armed figure, no one had detected their existence.


    "This Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm is truly incredible. No wonder it has eluded the Strongest ones'' attempts to lock onto it." As Lin Yuan continued to refine the core of the secret realm, he gained more and more insight into the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm.


    The Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm doesn''t exist in any single spatialyer but in the gaps betweenyers, constantly shifting its position with the flow of the universe''s countless spatialyers.


    In other words.


    The position of the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm changes every moment, which is why the Strongest ones cannot precisely lock onto it.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    In the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm, his Yang Primordial Spirit was fully focused on refining the core of the secret realm, striving to gain control over the entire Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm as soon as possible.


    Meanwhile, Lin Yuan''s true self was studying the three protective secret techniques of the Mysterious Emperor lineage.


    As for the rules of time? Those could wait. Breaking through from Ninth to Tenth Rank doesn''t require mastery of time rules.


    But with each stage mastered in these three secret techniques, Lin Yuan''s strength would see a substantial increase.


    "To master the ''Mysterious Emperor''s Body,'' I need arge amount of the ''Source of the Mysterious Emperor,'' also known as ''Mysterious Emperor Crystals.''" A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    Right now, he had more than enough Mysterious Emperor Crystals. The Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm had umted so many over the years that they formed a mountain.


    "Once I fully control the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm, I''ll have the Yang Primordial Spirit bring out a portion of the Mysterious Emperor Crystals." Lin Yuan made up his mind.


    As long as these Mysterious Emperor Crystals weren''t circted, there wouldn''t be any problems. If he used them just for his own cultivation, how would anyone else know?


    Time passed.


    Two years went by in the blink of an eye.


    In the virtual world.


    Inside his personal space.


    Lin Yuan and Xi Lan sat across from each other, enjoying a meal.


    "This meat of the Scorching Dragon, even in the virtual world, isn''t cheap, right? It must cost at least a few Universe Crystals to have a taste." Xi Lan said, looking at the half-meter-long leg of meat in front of him.


    The Scorching Dragon is a special life form from the depths of the cosmic starry sky, reaching Rank Five upon maturity.


    The most famous thing about the Scorching Dragon is its meat, which is incredibly delicious. When prepared with specific methods, its vor is unmatched in all of human civilization.


    Unfortunately, Scorching Dragons cannot be bred in captivity, so every pound of Scorching Dragon meates from a battle.


    This makes the price of Scorching Dragon meat remain high.


    Even in the virtual world, where the meat retains only its vor and none of its real effects, it still costs several Universe Crystals per head.


    "Hahaha." Lin Yuan took a bite of the Scorching Dragon meat, showing a satisfied expression.


    In fact, the Scorching Dragon meat in front of him wasn''t purchased by Lin Yuan but was a gift from the virtual world.


    It was one of the hidden benefits of being an Eighth-Rank citizen. It was given every month, and sometimes, even real Scorching Dragon meat was delivered.


    Although the amount was much smaller.


    "Star Lord, your reputation among Ninth-Ranks is now unparalleled. Those special Ninth-Ranks look pretty grim whenever they see you, and the Ninth-Rank aliens in the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm don''t dare to show their faces anymore."


    Xi Lan smiled as he spoke.


    The Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm had opened many times, and while the Ninth-Rank evolvers of human civilization had not suffered many losses, they hadn''t gained much either.


    Even when a powerful Ninth-Rank evolver emerged during special periods in human civilization, they would be met with joint resistance from other special Ninth-Ranks in the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm.


    But Lin Yuan?


    Did those special Ninth-Ranks even have the courage?


    "By the way, I should tell you something," Xi Lan suddenly remembered. "Doko and some of our civilization''s special Ninth-Ranks asked me to tell you that they want to know if you''d like to join forces topletely sweep the other aliens out of the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm."


    Xi Lan spoke with a hint of emotion.


    In the past, an ordinary Ninth-Rank evolver like himself wouldn''t even catch the eye of those special Ninth-Ranks in human civilization, let alone Doko, who was once the strongest Ninth-Rank of the human civilization era.


    But now, because of Lin Yuan, Doko personally contacted Xi Lan and spoke kindly and as equals.


    At this moment, Xi Lan had no regrets about taking the Milky Way Star Lord into hiding from the pursuit of the Huny for those two or three years in the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm.


    "Sweep the aliens out of the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm?" Lin Yuan fell into contemtion.


    "No problem." Lin Yuan nodded.


    As a member of human civilization, he naturally stood opposed to those hostile alien races. Lin Yuan had no qualms about doing this.


    "But not in the next few years," Lin Yuan said.


    His Yang Primordial Spirit was fully focused on refining the core of the secret realm and had no time for other tasks.


    "No problem."


    "Doko and the others also said that anytime within the next twenty years would be fine."


    Xi Lan smiled. The Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm would remain open for another forty years, so starting to clear out the Ninth-Rank aliens within twenty years would give them just enough time.


    It wasn''t difficult for the Ninth-Rank powerhouses of human civilization and its allied races to join forces and locate the Ninth-Rank aliens.


    In the past, they hadn''t done so because it would have provoked the other Ninth-Rank aliens to unite. But now, with the Lin Yuan present, the more those Ninth-Rank aliens banded together, the greater their losses would be.


    Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    The core of the secret realm, floating in front of him, had already been mostly refined.


    "I now..."


    While refining, Lin Yuan opened his eyes to assess his own condition.


    Although he hadn''t fully refined the core of the secret realm yet, Lin Yuan already possessed many privileges within it.


    For instance, teleportation.


    The Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm suppresses all forms of teleportation. Even someone like Lin Yuan, who had opened over two billionyers of space, had to fly slowly to reach his destination.


    It wasn''t that Lin Yuan''s spatialprehension wascking, but the rules were set this way.


    For example, in the main universe, the maximum flight speed is the speed of light. To go faster, one must enter a wormhole.


    These are the world''s rules.


    But now, as his control over the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm increased.


    Many of the restrictions from the world had disappeared, which was the ''privilege'' of being the master of the secret realm.


    Virtual World.


    Dozens of Ninth-Rank evolvers gathered.


    These Ninth-Rank evolvers had powerful auras, each of them at least a powerhouse who had opened millions ofyers of space.


    "Do you think the Milky Way Star Lord will agree to our n?" A Ninth-Rank evolver with millions ofyers couldn''t help but ask.


    Although the Milky Way Star Lord was also a Ninth-Rank, the many Ninth-Rank evolvers present were already treating Lin Yuan as a Tenth-Rank powerhouse.


    Such overwhelming strength, capable of instantly killing special Ninth-Ranks, could only be achieved by someone truly at the Tenth-Rank.


    "I''m not sure," Doko shook his head slightly. His request for Xi Lan to convey their message, asking to join forces to sweep out the Ninth-Rank aliens, was just his own n, not something set by human civilization.


    So, the Milky Way Star Lord could agree or refuse.


    Whoosh.


    At that moment.


    In this personal space.


    Xi Lan appeared.


    "Brother Xi Lan, how did it go?"


    "What did the Milky Way Star Lord say?"


    One by one, the Ninth-Rank evolvers, each at least with millions ofyers of space, looked at Xi Lan.


    "This..." Xi Lan had never been the focus of such strong individuals, and for a moment, he felt pressured. After a pause, he said in a deep voice, "The Milky Way Star Lord agreed, but it will take a few years."


    "Agreed?"


    "The Milky Way Star Lord agreed?"


    "A few years? No problem."


    The many Ninth-Rank evolvers breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Milky Way Star Lord was far younger than any of them, strength was what mattered among evolvers, and the Milky Way Star Lord had earned the respect of all the evolvers present with his power.


    "However, let me make this clear: when the Milky Way Star Lord takes action, he must receive ny percent of the spoils." Xi Lan added.


    Xi Lan hadn''t discussed the division of spoils in detail with Lin Yuan, but he couldn''t back down on this.


    "Ny percent?"


    "Fine."


    "No problem. Ny percent, even ny-five percent, is eptable."


    The many Ninth-Rank evolvers had no objections. Without the Milky Way Star Lord, their n would be impossible. How could they hope to sweep out the Ninth-Rank aliens from the secret realm on their own? It would be nothing but a pipe dream.


    So, no matter what conditions the Milky Way Star Lord put forward, they would agree.


    Sweeping out the Ninth-Rank aliens was primarily about preserving their dignity. As for the spoils? That could take a back seat.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    Lin Yuan quietly opened his eyes.


    "The ''Mysterious Emperor Strike''... I''ve mastered the first stage."


    Lin Yuan raised his right hand, and a misty light flickered as a casual strike unleashed double his full strength.


    The Mysterious Emperor''s secret technique, ''Mysterious Emperor Strike,'' had four stages. Mastering the first stage allowed him to double his strength with a casual strike, and mastering the fourth stage would allow him to unleash five times his strength.


    "So powerful."


    Lin Yuan continued to practice the ''Mysterious Emperor Strike.'' The same strike, when driven by the secret technique ''Mysterious Emperor Strike,'' could unleash power far beyond his limits. Thisplex and mysterious amplification left Lin Yuan amazed.


    Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm.


    The Yang Primordial Spirit, still refining the core of the secret realm, also opened its eyes.


    "''Mysterious Emperor Strike''..." While refining, Lin Yuan also experimented with the secret technique.


    Refining the core of the secret realm wasn''t particrly difficult, but it required time. While refining, Lin Yuan asionally did other things.


    Buzz, buzz, buzz.


    Terrifying energy fluctuations rippled across Lin Yuan''s body.


    "Hmm?"


    "The ''Mysterious Emperor Strike'' even aids in refining the core of the secret realm?" Lin Yuan''s eyes brightened.


    Meanwhile.


    Not far away.


    The six-armed figure was observing Lin Yuan.


    When the yellowish glow appeared on Lin Yuan''s body, the six-armed figure looked astonished, "The ''Mysterious Emperor Strike''... this little guy has already mastered the first stage of the ''Mysterious Emperor Strike''?"


    "Only a few years have passed? When did the protective secret techniques of the Mysterious Emperor lineage be so simple?"


    The six-armed figure couldn''t believe it.

 Chapter 339

    The Three Great Guardian Secret Arts of the Mysterious Sovereign Lineage epassing attack, defense, and escape, they seem wless.


    But the prerequisite is being able to master them.


    Master them? Is it that easy?


    Everything in the world maintains a subtle bnce.


    Special lifeforms have terrifying innate abilities but low reproductive capacity.


    Those unique and unparalleled special lifeforms have no reproductive capacity at all.


    The countless citizens of human civilization have average aptitude, ranking among the lowest of the peak races.


    Yet their reproductive ability can be described as unparalleled.


    This is a kind of bnce.Or rather, a ''restriction.''


    The secret arts are the same. The three great Guardian Secret Arts of the Mysterious Sovereign Lineage are each considered incredible.


    However, to master them, or even to get started, is far more difficult than imagined.


    If Lin Yuan were an eleventh-rank lifeform who hadprehended theplete rules of space and time, it would barely make sense for him to enter the secret arts so quickly.


    After all, standing at a high vantage point, with a high level of understanding, learning anything is faster.


    But Lin Yuan is only a ninth-rank lifeform. How could he master the first stage of the "Mysterious Emperor''s Strike" within a few years?


    "This little guy has not experienced more than four thousand years of real time, and after opening so manyyers of space, now?"


    The six-armed figure fell silent.


    At Lin Yuan''s current cultivation speed, it would take no more than five thousand years to cultivate "Mysterious Emperor''s Strike" to the third stage.


    By then, with just a casual strike, Lin Yuan would unleash four times his own maximum power, and maintain this state ''permanently.''


    "When His Majesty was still around, the fastest time to cultivate the ''Mysterious Emperor''s Strike'' to the third stage within our Mysterious Sovereign Lineage was seven thousand three hundred and ny-four years, and that was by an eleventh-rank lifeform."


    The six-armed figure thought to himself, a ninth-rank lifeform cultivating a secret art faster than an eleventh-rank lifeform? This was beyond his imagination.


    Ninth-rank and eleventh-rank lifeforms are almost not even considered the same species.


    The gap between them is like a chasm. What an eleventh-rank lifeform can see through at a nce, a ninth-rank lifeform might not understand even in ten thousand years.


    "But maybe not."


    "Just because the first stage was mastered so smoothly doesn''t guarantee that the second or third stages will be just as easy."


    The six-armed figure let out a sigh of relief and suddenlyughed, "What am I worried about? The sessor of His Majesty should naturally have an extraordinary talent. Without such, how could they keep up with His Majesty''s footsteps?"


    The six-armed figure shook his head slightly. At this point, he was toozy to understand why Lin Yuan was cultivating the secret art so quickly because it was meaningless.


    At this moment.


    Countlessyers of space outside the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm suddenly began to ripple.


    "Hmm?"


    "Are those twelfth-rank lifeforms trying to locate the secret realm again?"


    The six-armed figure nced over and sneered, "Even though His Majesty has been gone for several cosmic eras, you twelfth-rank lifeforms who have never experienced theplete extinction of a universe think you can break through His Majesty''s methods? It''s nothing but a fool''s dream."


    Deep within the vastyers of space.


    Several enormous figures of powerful beings stood there.


    Just by standing there, they made the manyyers of space retreat, forming an area entirely belonging to themselves. In this domain, space and time were ythings, to be manipted at will.


    "Where exactly is this Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm? I''m bing increasingly curious about its former owner, ''His Majesty''."


    An existence with twenty-four pairs of wings on its back spoke with a grand voice,ced with curiosity.


    "What now? We still haven''t locked onto the secret realm''s location," said another colossal figure, its voice traveling through space and time, disturbing the time-space continuum in this area.


    "What can we do? We go back the way we came!" A third towering figure turned and took a step, disappearing into the distance.


    "Hmph!" The second towering figure remained calm. Every time the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm opened, some Strongest Ones would try to lock its coordinates.


    But without exception, they all failed.


    At the level of the Strongest Ones, most treasures, weapons, and secret arts in the world were of little use to them. But the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm was different.


    Not to mention anything else, the mere method of hiding it left many of the Strongest Ones in awe.


    Moreover, all the Strongest Ones shared amon belief: the secret realm must contain a great secret or a great treasure.


    Otherwise, what was the point of going to such lengths to hide it?


    Before long.


    The few Strongest Ones standing here disappeared, and this area of space-time returned to stability.


    Within the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm.


    Lin Yuan operated the "Mysterious Emperor''s Strike" and found that the speed of refining the core of the secret realm had greatly increased, filling him with joy.


    Among the three great Guardian Secret Arts of the Mysterious Sovereign Lineage, "Mysterious Emperor''s Strike" is ssified as an offensive secret art, but that''s not entirely urate. It''s more like a ''passive'' secret art that can be applied in any situation.


    For example, right now, Lin Yuan was using the "Mysterious Emperor''s Strike" to speed up the refinement of the core of the secret realm, which had nothing to do with attack.


    "Is this the feeling of control?"


    As Lin Yuan refined more of the secret realm''s core, his control over the secret realm also increased.


    Now Lin Yuan could clearly sense every detail in the outer area of the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm, including the hidden ninth-rank aliens and their interactions.


    None of it escaped Lin Yuan''s perception.


    Of course, the ''outer area'' here refers to the outer area of the continent where these outsidersnded.


    As for the other two continents, they wille under Lin Yuan''splete control as he continues to refine the core of the secret realm.


    "These ninth-rank aliens... I could kill them anytime I want." Lin Yuan''s heart was stirred.


    In the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm, all outsiders are suppressed. The inability to teleport is just one aspect; their perception is also significantly reduced.


    So normally, a ninth-rank alien who stays hidden in a corner would not be in much danger.


    "Forget it, better to act ordinary," Lin Yuan gave up on this tempting idea.


    His control over the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm and his position as its new master must leave no trace.


    Precisely tracking the location of every ninth-rank alien and hunting them down? That would not simply be a matter of power.


    The six-armed figure had long warned Lin Yuan that every time the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm opens, it attracts the attention of the Strongest Ones.


    In such a situation, it would be wise to keep a low profile. If Lin Yuan can be a Strongest One in the future, then he could openly dere himself as the master of the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm.


    "At the current pace of refinement, it will take about five more years toplete the process."


    Lin Yuan continued to gaze at the core of the secret realm in front of him. Without the help of "Mysterious Emperor''s Strike," refining the core would take at least twenty years.


    With the help of "Mysterious Emperor''s Strike," the time required was greatly reduced.


    However, the time taken to refine the core was not particrly significant to Lin Yuan.


    As the sessor to ''His Majesty,'' Lin Yuan had already gained the ''privilege'' of entering the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm at any time.


    There was no need to wait for the secret realm to open to enter.


    As soon as Lin Yuan willed it, he could use the Mysterious Emperor Mark to enter the secret realm.


    "Although I can''t take action against those ninth-rank aliens directly, the human civilization''s ninth-rank evolvers will soon begin clearing out and driving away all enemy ninth-rank aliens in the secret realm. When that happens, it won''t be a problem for me to take action."


    Lin Yuan thought silently.


    Using human civilization as a cover, as long as Lin Yuan was careful, he should not be exposed.


    As for showing some power that exceedsmon sense? Compared to the entire Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm, what''s that worth?


    In fact, even with Lin Yuan''s current talent and potential as the number one genius evolver in the history of human civilization, he still wasn''t taken too seriously by the Strongest Ones of the alien races.


    For these Strongest Ones, as long as Lin Yuan doesn''t reach the twelfth rank, he''s just a ''pathetic worm'' in the river of time, destined to face the end of his lifespan and the brink of death.


    Milky Way''s Main Star.


    Lin Yuan was fully immersed in understanding the "Mysterious Emperor''s Strike."


    The three great Guardian Secret Arts of the Mysterious Sovereign Lineage, "Mysterious Emperor''s Body" requires arge number of universe crystals and cannot be practiced for now.


    "Steps of Time and Space" is a secret escape art, but Lin Yuan currently has no pressure to escape. His true body is stationed on the Milky Way''s main star, within the territory of human civilization, under the gaze of the Strongest Ones. It can be said that he is absolutely safe.


    The Yin Primal Spirit is in Battlefield B0001, absorbing the boundary-breaking source force spilling from the permanent space rift, and no one knows the true identity of Lin Yuan''s Yin Primal Spirit.


    And with the power of the Yin Primal Spirit, hiding in a medium-sized alien battlefield is as stable as can be.


    As for the Yang Primal Spirit, it has now be the half-master of the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm, which to some extent, even the Strongest Ones cannot interfere with.


    So there is no urgent need for "Steps of Time and Space."


    "No wonder it''s one of the three great Guardian Secret Arts of the Mysterious Sovereign Lineage. At my current pace of understanding, it will take decades to perfect."


    Lin Yuan was amazed. He had no idea that even for an eleventh-rank lifeform, it took over seven thousand years to master this secret art to its third stage.


    As for fully mastering the fourth stage? It would take tens of thousands of years to achieve.


    "However, if I can reach the tenth rank within ten years, it might not take much longer to perfect it," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Lin Yuan''s Unrivaled Insightpletely depends on the height he has reached. The Unrivaled Insight at the ninth rank is entirely different from that at the tenth rank.


    When Lin Yuan is at the ninth rank, it may take decades or centuries to perfect the "Mysterious Emperor''s Strike," but once he reaches the tenth rank, it may only take years or even months.


    And if he reaches the eleventh rank, it might take only days to master the "Mysterious Emperor''s Strike."


    "Take it slow."


    "I still have plenty of time."


    Lin Yuan''s mind was filled with the details of the "Mysterious Emperor''s Strike," and he continued to immerse himself in cultivation.


    Time passed.


    In the blink of an eye, four years had gone by.


    On another continent within the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm, Lin Yuan appeared out of thin air, unnoticed by the countless native lifeforms below.


    "There''s only about a year left until the core of the secret realm ispletely refined." A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    Although he had no time restrictions in the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm, there was no need for him, unlike the other ninth-rank aliens, to leave after a certain time. If they didn''t leave, the secret realm itself would ''erase'' them.


    But the sooner he refined the core of the secret realm, the better.


    "In these four years, I''ve almost mastered the second stage of the ''Mysterious Emperor''s Strike,''" Lin Yuan shook his head slightly, somewhat dissatisfied.


    In reality, this cultivation speed was already extremely impressive, even terrifying.


    It''s estimated that in the history of the Mysterious Sovereign Lineage, no sessor has ever taken less than ten years to master the second stage of this secret art.


    Did they really think that achieving three times their maximum power with a casual strike was as easy as picking cabbage by the roadside?


    But for Lin Yuan, it still felt a bit slow¡ªit''s just a secret art, after all.


    "Hmm?"


    "The ninth-rank evolvers of human civilization have already begun to seal off the outer area?" Lin Yuan nced up, his gaze prating throughyers of void,nding on another continent.


    As soon as Lin Yuan disyed his absolute power by killing the strongest ninth-rank of the Tianyu n, Huny, the ninth-rank evolvers of human civilization, led by Doko, began nning to clear out the other enemy ninth-rank aliens.


    After all, such an opportunity was rare. In the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm, higher-levelbat power couldn''t intervene, and humanity had Lin Yuan, a freakishly powerful individual.


    They naturally had to seize the opportunity.


    "Those ninth-rank aliens aren''t going to just surrender," Lin Yuan spected.


    The human civilization''s ninth-rank evolvers'' n is to eliminate these enemy alien races, or at the very least, drive them into the inner area, where they will be obliterated when the secret realm''s opening time ends.


    Any lifeform not in the outer area when the time is up will be ''erased'' by the secret realm itself.


    Those in the outer area will be expelled by the secret realm.


    So¡ª


    For these enemy ninth-rank aliens, even if they don''t want to face Lin Yuan, they are sure to resist desperately. After all, the final oue is death.


    "I''m just not sure if they''ll bring in more reinforcements..." Lin Yuan pondered.


    The alien ninth-rank lifeforms in the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm must have sensed the human civilization''s n.


    And if they sensed it, they would certainly respond.


    Ninth-rank strong beings who enter the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm can only leave after a hundred years when the realm closes.


    But during this time, outsiders can still enter, and bymunicating with the ninth-rank beings inside, they can send in special treasures.


    Or simply invite powerful special ninth-rank beings to assist.


    Whenever the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm opens, it attracts arge number of ninth-rank lifeforms, but not every ninth-rank being participates.


    Virtual World.


    Personal Space.


    Dozens of human ninth-rank evolvers at the myriadyer realm gathered here.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord is here."


    "Milky Way Star Lord." The dozens of ninth-rank myriadyer evolvers stood up, looking toward a young man who appeared out of thin air.


    Milky Way Star Lord.


    The numerous ninth-rank strong beings present were all dominant figures. Even onrge alien battlefields, they weren''t weak. Some special ninth-rank beings even had a good chance of advancing to the tenth rank.


    But now, even if all of them werebined, or even if all the ninth-rank evolvers of human civilization in this era were added together, they would still be overshadowed by the Milky Way Star Lord.


    "Milky Way Star Lord." Doko greeted Lin Yuan.


    Before Lin Yuan, he was the strongest ninth-rank in human civilization of this era, having opened nearly forty millionyers of space.


    But now, the title of the strongest ninth-rank in human civilization naturally belonged to the Milky Way Star Lord. If it were anyone else, Doko might have felt some resentment.


    But the Milky Way Star Lord?


    After watching the ''video footage'' of the Milky Way Star Lord killing Huny, how could Doko dare to feel any dissatisfaction?


    "Everyone, sit down." Lin Yuan smiled and casually took the main seat.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, the blockade of the outer area of the secret realm is almostplete. We may soon face a counterattack from those ninth-rank aliens."


    Doko immediately said, "At that time, we''ll need the Milky Way Star Lord to take action. Otherwise, we won''t be able to hold off those ninth-rank aliens."


    The human civilization''s ninth-rank evolvers hadid down a blockade in the outer area of the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm, and those ninth-rank aliens didn''t dare to resist.


    Why?


    Because they were afraid of the Milky Way Star Lord, who could appear at any moment.


    So those ninth-rank aliens could only keep fleeing, keep hiding.


    But the outer area is the smallest part of the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm. No matter how much those ninth-rank aliens run, they will eventually be cornered.


    At that moment, they will all resist fiercely.


    Among these ninth-rank aliens are the ninth-rank beings of the Insect Race Grand Alliance, the ninth-rank beings of the Tianyu n Grand Alliance, and so on. If they weren''t wary of the Milky Way Star Lord, they would have torn apart the blockade set up by human civilization long ago.


    "No problem."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    "Then we''ll trouble the Milky Way Star Lord at that time." Doko smiled.


    "May I ask where the Milky Way Star Lord is currently located?" Doko hesitated, then asked.


    "I''m in the outer area, ready to take action at any time," Lin Yuan replied casually.


    In fact, he was still in the deepest part of the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm, but with his current level of control over the secret realm, he could appear anywhere in the realm with just a thought.


    So saying he could ''take action at any time'' was no exaggeration.


    "That''s good."


    "With the Milky Way Star Lord here, those aliens are as good as dead."


    "Hahaha, I''ve never felt so exhrated before. Thanks to the Milky Way Star Lord."


    One by one, the ninth-rank evolvers expressed their joy.


    In the past, when the secret realm opened, the ninth-rank evolvers of human civilization would do their best to avoid those ninth-rank aliens. After all, fighting inside the secret realm had no meaning. The important thing was to bring the gains out.


    But now, the ninth-rank evolvers of human civilization were proactively hunting down those ninth-rank aliens.


    Although these ninth-rank aliens couldn''t represent their entire race, and some were just avatars, the morale was soaring.


    On the other side.


    In a dark space.


    Hundreds of wills descended. Human civilization had a virtual world, where all evolvers couldmunicate in real-time.


    Although the other alien races couldn''t build a virtual world like human civilization, they had created some spaces for temporary information exchange.


    At this moment, the hundreds of wills descending into this space were the ninth-rank aliens in the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm.


    These aliens came from various major races, mainly the strong ones who were enemies of human civilization.


    As for the ninth-rank aliens from races with no significant conflict with human civilization, as well as some special lifeform ninth-ranks who acted alone, they weren''t included in the human civilization''s current extermination n.


    Compared to the cheerful atmosphere on the human side, the atmosphere here was rather gloomy.


    All the ninth-rank aliens were filled with fear. They had all seen the ''video'' of the Milky Way Star Lord killing Huny. Faced with the Milky Way Star Lord, they didn''t believe they stood a chance of victory.


    "What are you all worried about?"


    "No matter how strong that Milky Way Star Lord is, do you really think he can kill us all?"


    After a long silence, the leader of the group frowned and looked around, speaking sternly.


    ...

 Chapter 340

    As soon as these words were spoken, many of the ninth-rank strong ones present felt slightly relieved.


    Even though there were only a few hundred ninth-rank strong ones gathered here at this moment, in reality, the number of ninth-rank strong ones in the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm being hunted by human civilization easily numbered in the thousands.


    The total number even approached ten thousand.


    The majority were from the grand alliances of the peak races,


    The rest were lone individuals who bore grudges against human civilization.


    With thousands or nearly ten thousand ninth-rank strong ones, even if pursued by tenth-rank beings, a few would survive by scattering and fleeing. Let alone when faced with the Milky Way Star Lord?


    Moreover, the environment in the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm is unique, suppressing many spatial techniques, making teleportation and instant movement impossible.


    Previously, that human civilization member Xn, who had only opened several hundred thousandyers of space, managed to hold out for three years against Huny, a special ninth-rank being who had opened over thirty millionyers of space.


    This is quite telling.Indeed, Xn''s evolutionary path was special, particrly suited for escaping.


    But did the many ninth-rank strong ones hereck such means? Strongest evolutionary paths? Which peak race doesn''t have such paths?


    "Everyone, the Milky Way Star Lord is indeed unbeatable, but that doesn''t mean we have to let the humans ughter us."


    A ninth-rank Insect Race member stood up and said, "Our race has paid the price to invite the Son of the Tree World into the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm to counter the Milky Way Star Lord."


    "My race has also paid the price to invite the Dragon Scale King into the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm to counter the Milky Way Star Lord."


    "My race has also..."


    One after another, ninth-rank strong ones from the peak races spoke up.


    The announcements greatly boosted the morale of the gathered ninth-rank strong ones.


    The Son of the Tree World, hailing from the mysterious cosmic secret realm ''Tree World,'' the Tree World is ruled by a being known as the Mother of the Tree World.


    The Mother of the Tree World is a rare special lifeform, an eleventh-rank peak existence, and the entire Tree World is, in strict terms, her body.


    The Mother of the Tree World has a child named the Son of the Tree World. In the vast cosmos, the Mother and Son of the Tree World are the only ones of their kind.


    Thus, both the Mother and Son of the Tree World are extremely powerful, with terrifying innate abilities.


    The Mother of the Tree World guards the Tree World, and even the Strongest Ones are reluctant to attack, as it would be pointless.


    With her strength, although the Mother of the Tree World isn''t a match for the Strongest Ones, she has some means of resistance, at least enough to threaten the copse of the Tree World before the Strongest Ones.


    Thus, even if the Strongest Ones were to strike, they would gain nothing.


    Moreover, the Mother of the Tree World voluntarily submitted to the Insect Race, offering a pound of Tree World Liquid every ten thousand years, which is why she has survived until now.


    The Son of the Tree World is currently a ninth-rank being, and given the Mother of the Tree World''s terrifyingly long lifespan, the Son has remained at the ninth rank for tens of millions of years.


    So normally, the major cosmic races wouldn''t even consider the Son of the Tree World as a ninth-rank being because they simply don''t belong in the normal ninth-rank category.


    As for the Dragon Scale King, it is a simr existence to the Son of the Tree World.


    "The Mother of the Tree World?"


    "And the Dragon Scale King?"


    "These are legendary ninth-rank beings, not within the realm of normal ninth-rank life."


    The ninth-rank strong ones began whispering to each other, their confidence growing.


    Whether it was the Mother of the Tree World, the Dragon Scale King, or others, their lifespans were terrifyingly long. The entire lifetime of a normal ninth-rank being might notpare to just a few of their periods of closed-door cultivation.


    So if they were considered in the same category as normal ninth-rank lifeforms, it would be unfair to the others.


    "With these reinforcements, what threat does the Milky Way Star Lord pose?" The ninth-rank Insect Race member looked at the many strong ones, sending out a heavy mental wave.


    He exchanged nces with the other strong ones from the peak races.


    The reason their races paid such a high price this time was partly to ensure they gained something from this venture into the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm and partly to preserve their avatars.


    While avatar techniques are semi-public secret arts among the major races, the cost of recreating an avatar after its death is not insignificant.


    If so many ninth-rank strong ones were to perish in the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm, even if only their avatars, it would still have a considerable impact on the major races.


    Finally, the peak races wanted to test the true strength of the Milky Way Star Lord.


    When the Milky Way Star Lord killed Huny earlier, it was aplete instant kill, and apart from knowing that the Milky Way Star Lord was very strong and had opened at least a 100Myers of space, they knew nothing.


    Inviting these legendary ninth-rank beings to take action this time was to determine the Milky Way Star Lord''s limits.


    While the Strongest Ones might not care much about the Milky Way Star Lord, the tenth and eleventh-rank strong ones were very interested.


    Because in the distant future, they might face the Milky Way Star Lord in battle on arge alien battlefield.


    Since they were destined to fight the Milky Way Star Lord one day, they naturally wanted more information about him.


    Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm.


    Outer Area.


    Within a wide canyon, thousands of ninth-rank aliens had already been forced into this ce.


    As for outside, hundreds of human civilization evolvers were maintaining the blockade.


    To have hundreds of ninth-rank strong ones blockading thousands or tens of thousands of ninth-rank strong ones? It seemed like a fantasy. The individual strength of the two sides wasn''t much different, and in terms of numbers, the blockading side was outnumbered by ten times.


    But this was the reality.


    Because of the deterrence of the Milky Way Star Lord, no ninth-rank alien dared to resist or hesitate.


    What if resisting led to the Milky Way Star Lord''s arrival? Wouldn''t that be a death sentence? Indeed, in the minds of all the ninth-rank aliens, the Milky Way Star Lord couldn''t possibly kill all of their thousands or tens of thousands of members.


    But if the Milky Way Star Lord was determined to kill, he might not be able to kill them all, but he could definitely kill a few hundred.


    No ninth-rank alien wanted to be among those few hundred.


    So, faced with the human evolvers'' siege, even if the other side was weaker, the ninth-rank aliens would flee if they could, not daring to fight back.


    Outside the canyon.


    Doko and several other special ninth-rank members of human civilization were also observing the distant canyon.


    "We can only suppress them to this point. If we press further, it will force these aliens to resist," said a special ninth-rank member of human civilization.


    These ninth-rank aliens had been hunted to this point without daring to fight back.


    This wasn''t just because they feared the Milky Way Star Lord but also because they had a way out.


    But now?


    All the aliens had been cornered in the canyon, and the manyyers of space were also sealed.


    These ninth-rank aliens had no way out. If they were pressed further, it would only incite them to resist.


    "Milky Way Star Lord."


    "Where is the Milky Way Star Lord?"


    The tone of several special ninth-rank members of human civilization was tinged with concern.


    They had already forced all the ninth-rank aliens into this spot. If the Milky Way Star Lord didn''t show up, it would be the human civilization''s evolvers'' turn to run for their lives.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord said he woulde, so he will definitelye," Doko said calmly.


    The other special ninth-rank members felt slightly reassured.


    At this moment, above the canyon, a figure suddenly appeared.


    The figure resembled a young man, dressed in a long robe, standing there as if connected to countlessyers of space.


    "Milky Way Star Lord."


    "The Milky Way Star Lord has arrived."


    On the human civilization''s side, spirits were lifted when they saw Lin Yuan appear.


    In contrast, the many ninth-rank aliens in the canyon looked grim, some even showing fear.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord?"


    "It''s said that the Milky Way Star Lord has opened at least a 100Myers of space."


    "A 100Myers of space? I wonder if the Son of the Tree World and the Dragon Scale King can match the Milky Way Star Lord."


    The ninth-rank aliens wore solemn expressions, feeling immense pressure.


    Even though they had their own trump cards and backup ns, when facing the Milky Way Star Lord, they still couldn''t maintain theirposure.


    The Son of the Tree World and the Dragon Scale King were indeed powerful, but they hadn''t killed any special ninth-rank beings. But the Milky Way Star Lord had, and he had killed Huny, a ninth-rank being who had opened over thirty millionyers of space.


    Who wouldn''t be afraid?


    In the canyon below, many ninth-rank aliens were observing Lin Yuan.


    At that moment, as all the ninth-rank aliens watched in shock, the Milky Way Star Lord, standing in the void, raised his right hand and pressed down on them.


    Boom!


    The force of 200Myers of space crashed down, aiming to obliterate everything before him.


    "Not good!"


    The ninth-rank Insect Race being''s expression changed drastically as he roared, "Everyone, aren''t you going to take action?"


    Crash!


    Four powerful presences suddenly converged from all directions. One was a tree-like lifeform whose swaying branches caused the vast power of space to tremble.


    Another presence belonged to an elder with golden dragon scales in a humanoid form. With every move, a terrifying aura of blood and qi spread out.


    These four powerful beings joined forces to confront the Milky Way Star Lord, each of them far surpassing Huny, having developed 80 to 90 millionyers of space, nearing 100Myers.


    At a distant location, numerous ninth-rank beings were watching the scene.


    These ninth-rank beings generally had no grievances with human civilization and were not on the list of those surrounding the Milky Way Star Lord, so they could leisurely stay there and watch.


    "Tsk tsk, the Milky Way Star Lord has finally appeared."


    "So that''s the Milky Way Star Lord? The cosmic will truly favors humanity. Whenpared to that Milky Way Star Lord, we, as special lifeforms with extraordinary talents, are..."


    "Being able to witness the Milky Way Star Lord in action makes this trip to the Secret Realm worthwhile."


    The ninth-rank beings conversed casually, feeling utterly rxed.


    Rxed? Of course, they were rxed¡ªafter all, they weren''t the ones facing the danger.


    "Hmm?"


    "Who are those four powerful beings that suddenly appeared?"


    "The Son of the Tree Realm? And the Dragon Scale King? The peak races really went all out, even inviting these individuals."


    The ninth-rank beings who were watching the fight were all wide-eyed in surprise.


    They had originally thought it would be a one-sided massacre, with the Milky Way Star Lord overwhelming the ninth-rank aliens. After all, those ninth-rank aliens came from different races and couldn''t truly unite. Facing the unmatched Milky Way Star Lord, their first thought would likely be to run faster than the others rather than stay and fight.


    Who would stick around and risk their lives to hold off the Milky Way Star Lord?


    But the appearance of the Son of the Tree Realm and the Dragon Scale King, along with the other two special ninth-rank beings, showed them another scenario.


    As long as these four special ninth-rank beings could hold back the Milky Way Star Lord, the remaining human civilization evolvers would have a hard time dealing with the counterattack from the thousands of ninth-rank aliens.


    Lin Yuan nced at a few inconspicuous spots where he sensed several subtle presences far stronger than the ordinary ninth-rank aliens present.


    "The Son of the Tree World?"


    "The Dragon Scale King?"


    Lin Yuan whispered these names to himself.


    He had heard of these beings, whose names were known across the vast universe.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord," a calm voice echoed from within the canyon. "I have always heard of your name and have always wanted to meet you."


    "Milky Way Star Lord, I didn''t expect that in this era, a peerless genius like you would appear." The Son of the Tree Realm, maintaining his ancient tree form, emitted a mental wave filled with fighting intent as he looked at Lin Yuan.


    The other three were the same.


    The reason they agreed to support the ninth-rank aliens in the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm was not only because of the hefty price paid by the peak races.


    They also wanted to test themselves against an opponent like the Milky Way Star Lord.


    "You''vee to die too?" Lin Yuan continued to exert the power of the spaceyers. He knew the aliens'' intentions, he naturally wouldn''t reveal more of his strength.


    Along with this calm voice, a slender figure appeared in the sky. This figure''s body was wrapped in ayer of green light, as if radiating endless vitality, and its back carried something resembling a small tree.


    It was the Son of the Tree World, the child of the Mother of the Tree World.


    At the same time, another colossal figure, nearly ten thousand meters long, emerged, exuding an aura of supreme strength.


    This was the Dragon Scale King.


    The presence of the two instantly overshadowed the countless ninth-rank aliens in the canyon.


    At this moment, Doko and the other human civilization''s ninth-rank evolvers felt immense pressure.


    But then...


    Lin Yuan smiled, "I''ve heard of you two."


    "You two are somewhat interesting."


    "As I expected, this trip to the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm has be even more interesting."


    Lin Yuan took a step forward, his figure stretching acrossyers of space as if spanning the entire canyon.


    The expressions of the Son of the Tree World and the Dragon Scale King changed slightly.


    "Even after seeing you in person, I''m still disappointed," Lin Yuan said casually, "Because even with you two here, the end result won''t change."


    "All of you, prepare to die."


    Lin Yuan''s tone was calm, but his words carried an air of certainty, like an irondw.


    "None of you will be able to escape"


    He kept the number of spaceyers around 200M.


    The number of spaceyers couldn''t increase, but that didn''t mean Lin Yuan couldn''t use other means.


    For example, the Mysterious Emperor Strike.


    Having mastered the first stage of the Mysterious Emperor Strike, Lin Yuan could double the power of each strike.


    This power didn''te from the spaceyers but was specially augmented, and only doubled¡ªnot too exaggerated.


    The truly abnormal aspect of the <em>Mysterious Emperor Strike</em> wasn''t the magnitude of the increase. Even in its most perfected state, the increase was only fivefold.


    It was the ability to maintain a "constant" state.


    Any strike could maintain the corresponding multiplier, which was the most precious aspect of the <em>Mysterious Emperor Strike</em>.


    But to confirm this, one would have to battle Lin Yuan for several years, even decades, otherwise, it would be impossible to notice.


    If it were just one or two strikes, the most one could deduce was that he used some kind of explosive power secret technique.


    Boom!


    With the <em>Mysterious Emperor Strike</em> augmenting his attacks, Lin Yuan''s strikes underwent a qualitative change. The Son of the Tree Realm and the other three special ninth-rank beings were immediately overwhelmed and began to retreat.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord wasn''t even going all out when he killed Huny?"


    "This is terrifying. The Son of the Tree Realm and the others are being forced back by the Milky Way Star Lord!"


    "It''s over. We probably won''t make it out alive."


    In the canyon, the numerous ninth-rank aliens suddenly realized the dire situation.


    "200Myers of space, and he''s mastered a secret technique that doubles his power?" The leading ninth-rank Insect Race being observed carefully.


    Finally, he came to a conclusion.


    "This must be the true strength of the Milky Way Star Lord. As long as we can determine his strength, no matter the cost, it will be worth it."


    The ninth-rank Insect Race being thought silently.


    Only by determining the opponent''s specific strength could they make targeted preparations in the future.


    Otherwise, they might repeat the scene on the alien battlefield, where the Tianyu Race kept sending their undefeated eighth-rank beings, one after another, to deliver ninth-rank treasures to the Milky Way Star Lord.


    Far away from the canyon.


    The numerous ninth-rank beings watching were stunned.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord¡­ The Milky Way Star Lord is incredibly strong."


    "He''s pushing back the Son of the Tree Realm and the Dragon Scale King so severely"


    "It''s unimaginable."


    One by one, the ninth-rank beings trembled. Even from a great distance, they asionally felt the terrifying aftermath of the battle that made their scalps tingle.


    One could imagine the immense pressure on those near the battlefield or facing the Milky Way Star Lord.


    Boom!


    Theyered power of space, further enhanced by the <em>Mysterious Emperor Strike</em>, turned into one terrifying blow after another, forcing the Son of the Tree Realm and the other three beings into a miserable retreat.


    Bang!


    At that moment, one of the beings'' bodies exploded and perished on the spot.


    Of course, the one who perished was just an avatar entering the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm. Whether it was the Son of the Tree Realm or the Dragon Scale King, they had only sent their avatars.


    "We can''t escape."


    The Son of the Tree Realm sighed inwardly. Even with theirbined strength, they were barely holding on against the Milky Way Star Lord. Now that one of them had died, there was no hope left.


    In the canyon below, the ninth-rank Insect Race being saw that the situation had no chance of turning around.


    So he turned to the numerous ninth-rank aliens behind him and said, "Everyone, the Milky Way Star Lord is ruthless. If we stay here, we''ll eventually die at his hands."


    After seeing the expressions on the faces of the numerous ninth-rank aliens, the ninth-rank Insect Race being continued:


    "In that case, why don''t we directly enter the inner and core areas? Those areas are muchrger than the outer region, and it''s basically impossible for the human evolvers to set up a blockade in the inner and core areas."


    Upon hearing this, the numerous ninth-rank aliens present immediately understood.


    Rather than die at the hands of the Milky Way Star Lord or the human evolvers...


    It was better to hide in the inner and core areas. Those areas were farrger than the outer area, and it would be impossible for human civilization''s evolvers to establish another blockade.


    Even if the Secret Realm eventually closed and they were killed by the Secret Realm''s power, it would still be better than having their treasures fall into the hands of human evolvers.


    Since they were going to die anyway.


    Why "aid the enemy"?


    "Go, go, go."


    "Let''s head to the inner area now."


    "Yes, even if we die, we can''t let human civilization gain anything."


    The numerous ninth-rank aliens in the canyon immediately flew towards the inner and core areas.


    In the sky above, Lin Yuan crushed thest of the Son of the Tree Realm into pieces, then saw therge number of ninth-rank aliens fleeing towards the inner and core areas.


    "The Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm will kill all outsiders in the inner and core areas once it closes. They would rather leave their treasures behind in the Secret Realm than let human evolvers have them?"


    Lin Yuan immediately understood the intentions of those ninth-rank aliens.

 Chapter 341

    Arge number of ninth-rank aliens were fleeing towards the inner area of the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm.


    The main continent of the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm is divided into three areas: the outer area, the inner area, and the core area.


    The outer area is the smallest, which is why the ninth-rank evolvers of human civilization were able to form a blockade and force all the ninth-rank aliens into that distant canyon.


    Compared to the outer area, the inner area is much more vast.


    With the current number of human civilization evolvers, it''s impossible to cover the entire inner area.


    Those ninth-rank aliens who flee to the inner area will quickly escape the pursuit of human civilization.


    Of course, the safety of the inner area is only temporary.


    Once a hundred years pass and the secret realm begins to close, any strong being not in the outer area will be eradicated by the secret realm.


    Lin Yuan stood in the void, watching as the many aliens frantically fled, but he did not pursue them.With tens of thousands of ninth-rank aliens scattering in all directions, even if Lin Yuan maintained his power of two billionyers of space, it would be difficult to kill them all.


    Moreover, the fact that these alien strong beings were actively fleeing to the inner area was exactly what Lin Yuan wanted, saving him the trouble of having to take action.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, those ninth-rank aliens have hidden in the inner area. We probably can''t do much now," Doko said as he approached and stood behind Lin Yuan, his tone filled with shame.


    The vastness of the inner area was one factor.


    Another was that the many native life forms scattered throughout the area were extremely powerful.


    If human civilization were to form a blockade in the inner area as they did in the outer area, they might not even find the ninth-rank aliens before being overwhelmed by the native life forms.


    "It doesn''t matter," Lin Yuan shook his head.


    Hearing this, Doko felt slightly relieved.


    He was worried that the Milky Way Star Lord might harbor resentment.


    After all, their previous n involved the Milky Way Star Lord taking 90% of the rewards for each ninth-rank alien killed.


    But now, with all the aliens fleeing to the inner area, the number of ninth-rank aliens killed would be very few, which would result in fewer rewards for the Milky Way Star Lord.


    "But with the Milky Way Star Lord''s strength, he could easily chase them down and leave at least a few hundred ninth-rank aliens behind," Doko thought to himself, though he dared not ask more questions. He had his own suspicions.


    The Milky Way Star Lord had taken on four opponents, including the Son of the Tree World and the Dragon Scale King, and had used some sort of explosive secret art.


    And such secret arts usuallye with a price, such as a period of weakness afterward.


    Perhaps this was why the Milky Way Star Lord didn''t pursue the fleeing aliens? Could it be that after suppressing the Son of the Tree World and the other three legendary ninth-rank beings, the Milky Way Star Lord had indeed paid some price?


    With this thought, Doko found it much more reasonable.


    "Since these aliens have fled to the inner area, let''s make sure they don''te out again," Lin Yuan said quietly, hands behind his back.


    "Of course!" Doko nodded.


    He looked at the fleeing ninth-rank aliens, his eyes filled with killing intent.


    In truth, Doko could fully understand the actions of these ninth-rank aliens.


    Even if they were to die, they didn''t want to make it easy for human civilization.


    If Doko were in their position, he would likely make the same choice.


    But understanding is one thing; actually doing it is another.


    Since these aliens are so eager to die in the secret realm, then let them die.


    Although hiding in the inner area reduced the ie of the ninth-rank evolvers of human civilization, it also meant a significant loss for the aliens.


    Not only would they gain nothing from this venture into the secret realm, but they would also lose an avatar.


    In the distance beyond the canyon, many ninth-rank strong beings who had been watching the battle were now filled with mixed emotions.


    When the Son of the Tree World, the Dragon Scale King, and the other legendary ninth-rank beings appeared, they had thought that the situation would change.


    At the very least, the invincible Milky Way Star Lord would be restrained.


    But now it seemed that these four legendary ninth-rank beings could not even hold out for long against the Milky Way Star Lord.


    "How exactly did the Milky Way Star Lord cultivate?"


    "So terrifying. Fortunately, our race has no major conflicts with human civilization."


    "Those peak races must be feeling heartache now."


    The emotions of the various ninth-rank strong beings varied¡ªsome were amazed, some were shocked, some found it unbelievable, and others were gloating.


    Deep within the vast universe, in a certainyer of space.


    This was also a cosmic secret realm, incredibly vast, with an ancient dark green tree towering in the center.


    The ancient tree reached the sky, its roots covering the entire cosmic secret realm.


    Next to this towering ancient tree, a much shorter tree swayed gently.


    Upon closer inspection, one would notice that the flow of time on the surface of the towering ancient tree was vastly different from that of the main universe.


    In the main universe, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or even a million years might pass, but for this towering ancient tree, it might have only been a day or a month.


    Suddenly, the aura of the smaller ancient tree subtly changed.


    "Child, what''s wrong?" The towering ancient tree immediately noticed, its surface time flow returning to normal. It sent out a faint mental wave, asking the smaller tree with great affection.


    This was the Mother of the Tree World, an eleventh-rank lifeform capable of negotiating with the Strongest Ones.


    In the vast universe, there were indeed some eleventh-rank lifeforms, but those who could make the Strongest Ones hesitate to force their will were rare. The Strongest Ones were incredibly domineering.


    Perhaps they might act as gentle elders to their kin, but towards other races, they generally took a stance of "submit or perish."


    This was true for human civilization, the Insect Race, and the Tianyu n.


    The Mother of the Tree World looked at the smaller ancient tree with warmth. It was a unique lifeform in the universe. After growing to the eleventh rank, it had no concept of kin.


    Until the birth of this smaller ancient tree.


    The smaller ancient tree was not born from the Mother of the Tree World but was instead nurtured from the Tree World itself, just as the Mother of the Tree World had been.


    "Mother," the smaller tree also sent out a mental wave, tinged with doubt. "Do you think our Tree World race''s talent truly surpasses that of all other beings in the universe?"


    "Of course," the massive Mother of the Tree World replied with a smile. "The universe is vast and full of countless lifeforms, but our Tree World race is unique. Our talent and potential naturally surpass all others."


    "But what about the Strongest Ones?" the smaller tree immediately asked.


    The Strongest Ones refrained from forcing the Mother of the Tree World because she possessed the ability to ensure they would gain nothing from it. However, in terms of strength and other aspects, the Mother of the Tree World was far inferior to the Strongest Ones.


    "The Strongest Ones..." The Mother of the Tree World was momentarily speechless.


    There were many Strongest Ones in the universe, and some of them had experienced far less time than she had.


    "The Strongest Ones are an exception," the Mother of the Tree World finally said after some thought. "Bing a Strongest One has little to do with talent."


    "But below the level of the Strongest Ones, our Tree World race certainly stands above all. Perhaps there are other special lifeforms in the universe whose talent rivals ours, maybe even slightly surpasses it, but they''re still on the same level."


    The Mother of the Tree World spoke with confidence.


    "But Mother, not long ago, an emissary from the Insect Race asked me to send an avatar to the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm to deal with the Milky Way Star Lord of human civilization..."


    The smaller tree began to exin.


    "Yes," the Mother of the Tree World nodded. She knew little about the Milky Way Star Lord, as his rise had been too recent¡ªless than a century.


    And the Mother of the Tree World, most of the time, maintained a vastly different time flow from the outside world to extend her life as long as possible.


    The Tree World race indeed had an extraordinarily long lifespan, but without bing a Strongest One, they were still just beings within the river of time, unable to achieve eternity.


    Thest time she woke up was over a million years ago.


    "My avatar was killed by the Milky Way Star Lord, and he did it without relying on any external power," the smaller tree said, a trace of confusion in its tone.


    Even after watching the video of the Milky Way Star Lord in action, when it finally faced him, it began to doubt itself.


    Which of us is the real special lifeform¡ªme, or the Milky Way Star Lord?


    "Killed by the Milky Way Star Lord?"


    The Mother of the Tree World fell silent. "And he didn''t use any external power?"


    The ''external power'' referred to here means higher-level treasures or life-saving items.


    For example, the ''Time ck Hole'' of the ''Maduo'' Walker.


    "Milky Way Star Lord..." The Mother of the Tree World extended her awareness beyond the Tree World, starting to receive all the information that had urred during her slumber, including many details about the Milky Way Star Lord.


    Breaking the myth of the eighth rank.


    The youngest ninth-rank being in the history of human civilization...


    "Child..."


    After a long time, the Mother of the Tree World finally sent out another mental wave. "Don''t worry about the Milky Way Star Lord."


    "No matter how talented or powerful he is, if he doesn''t be a Strongest One, he definitely won''t outlive you."


    The Mother of the Tree World thought for a long time before finallying up with a reason tofort her child.


    The Tree World race had an unimaginably long lifespan. The years experienced by the small tree at the ninth rank already exceeded a hundred or a thousand times those of a normal eleventh-rank lifeform.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord won''t outlive me..." The small tree felt somewhat unsettled by these words.


    Tianyu n.


    Numerous tenth-rank and eleventh-rank Celestial Lords were watching the ''video footage'' in front of them.


    The footage showed Lin Yuan in the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm, killing the ''Son of the Tree World,'' the ''Dragon Scale King,'' and other legendary ninth-rank beings.


    "In this battle, the number of spaceyers opened by the Milky Way Star Lord is indeed around 200M, consistent with the power he disyed when killing Huny."


    "Furthermore, the Milky Way Star Lord has mastered a type of explosive secret art, allowing him to temporarily unleash more than double his own strength."


    "This type of explosive secret art muste with significant drawbacks. Otherwise, with the Milky Way Star Lord''s strength, he should have continued to pursue the enemies, but instead, he watched as our strong ones fled into the inner area."


    One by one, the tenth and eleventh-rank Celestial Lords of the Tianyu n analyzed the information from the ''video footage,'' trying to deduce the exact capabilities of the Milky Way Star Lord.


    They had paid a high price to invite a legendary ninth-rank being into the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm specifically to probe the limits of the Milky Way Star Lord.


    The goal was to better counter the Milky Way Star Lord in futurerge-scale battles.


    In the eyes of the Tianyu n''s tenth and eleventh-rank Celestial Lords, the Milky Way Star Lord was destined to be a significant force on therge battlefield in the future.


    If they did not understand the Milky Way Star Lord''s true limits now, they might end up sending tenth-rank beings of lesser strength, only to have them sacrificed. Wouldn''t that be a waste?


    Even at the tenth rank, the weakest level beings are the core strength of their race and cannot be casually sacrificed.


    This is especially true for the peak races. For the strong races, tenth-rank beings are the pirs of their race.


    Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm.


    Lin Yuan''s figure vanished, reappearing in the deepest part of the secret realm.


    At the same time, he was sensing every detail within the secret realm, particrly in the inner area where the many alien strong beings had fled.


    To avoid revealing too much of his strength and to keep his status as the master of the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm a secret, Lin Yuan couldn''t directly kill these ninth-rank aliens.


    He had to wait until the secret realm closed and they were all eradicated by the realm itself, at which point he could collect their remains.


    "Eight thousand seven hundred and ny-two ninth-rank aliens..." Through his control of the secret realm, Lin Yuan easily identified all the aliens in the inner area.


    "How much can I gain from so many ninth-rank aliens?" A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    Since the Mysterious Emperor''s secret realm first opened, over two hundred ninth-rank secret treasures had been obtained from those who attempted to remain in the secret realm and were eradicated.


    It doesn''t seem like much, but the ninth-rank beings who tried to stay in the secret realm were prepared to die, so most of their treasures were taken out through various means.


    That''s why the total number of ninth-rank secret treasures doesn''t exceed three hundred.


    But now, the situation is different for the eight thousand or so ninth-rank aliens hiding in the inner area.


    They had no such preparations, and their secret treasures and weapons were still with them. While not all of them were extremely valuable, the sheer quantity made up for it.


    "Perfect."


    "What I need most for cultivating the ''Mysterious Emperor''s Body'' are various resources, whether secret treasures or weapons. They can all serve as nourishment for the ''Mysterious Emperor''s Body''."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The three great Guardian Secret Arts of the Mysterious Sovereign Lineage include the so-called indestructible "Mysterious Emperor''s Body," which requires arge number of universe crystals for cultivation, as well as various other resources.


    Secret treasures, weapons, and the like can all be devoured and transformed into the foundation of the "Mysterious Emperor''s Body."


    With "Mysterious Emperor''s Strike" and "Steps of Time and Space," Lin Yuan could rely on his unparalleled insight to quickly master and perfect them.


    But the "Mysterious Emperor''s Body" is fundamentally about umting resources. This is something that cannot be achieved through insight alone; it requires a massive investment of real resources.


    Lin Yuan''s true body was not the only one cultivating the "Mysterious Emperor''s Body"; his two Primal Spirits also needed to cultivate it, so the demand for resources was immense.


    But with nearly ten thousand aliens'' contributions, Lin Yuan was confident that his progress in cultivating the "Mysterious Emperor''s Body" would be rapid.


    In fact, even if Lin Yuan obtained those secret treasures and weapons, he couldn''t easily take them out, as they could be easily recognized.


    So he might as well use them all as nourishment for the "Mysterious Emperor''s Body," saving himself the trouble of acquiring other resources for cultivating this secret art.


    "The priority now is to quickly refine the core of the secret realm."


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, and a yellow crystal appeared in front of him.


    Even when he had fought the "Son of the Tree World" and the other legendary ninth-rank beings, Lin Yuan had continued to refine the core of the secret realm.


    The strong beings watching the battle all believed that Lin Yuan had gone all out to suppress the "Son of the Tree World" and the other three legendary ninth-rank beings, even resorting to using explosive secret arts.


    Little did they know that Lin Yuan had merely been toying with them. Of the 2 billionyers of space hemanded, he had only used 200M.


    As for the so-called explosive secret art? Once "Mysterious Emperor''s Strike" is mastered, it can be a ''permanent state,'' with each strike exceeding his own limits.


    Apart from the high consumption, there was no price to pay.


    As for why he didn''t pursue them, it was merely a matter of letting things take their course.


    Those ninth-rank aliens who fled into the inner area would eventually be eradicated by the secret realm, and their treasures, weapons, and even bodies would fall into Lin Yuan''s hands.


    Time passed.


    In the blink of an eye, a year had gone by.


    Lin Yuan''s refinement of the core of the secret realm had also reached its final stage.

 Chapter 342

    Deep within the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, a mysterious yellow crystal slowly floating in front of him.


    At this moment, Lin Yuan was only a tiny step away from fully refining the core of this secret realm.


    It could take as little as half an hour or as long as a few days, but soon it would bepletely refined.


    By then, Lin Yuan would have control over the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm, achieving something even the Strongest Ones had longed for but could never obtain.


    The Strongest Ones of the peak races in the main universe, along with lone Strongest Ones, all Twelfth Rank beings, had their eyes set on the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm.


    Every time the secret realm opened, several Strongest Ones would attempt to lock onto its coordinates.


    Even those who didn''t make a move would observe in the shadows.


    If anything changed, they could arrive in an instant.The importance that the Strongest Ones ced on the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm was obvious.


    This included the nine Strongest Ones of human civilization.


    This was also why Lin Yuan didn''t want to reveal that he was the new master of the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm.


    Even to human civilization, he didn''t want to say too much.


    It wasn''t that he was wary of human civilization, but some things are better left unsaid to avoid unnecessary trouble.


    When Lin Yuan stepped into the Twelfth Rank, he would announce it to the world without any concerns.


    "This Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm is not a separate,plete world." As he was on the verge of fully refining the core of the secret realm, Lin Yuan could already sense the essence of the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm.


    The Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm exists by relying on the main universe, sharing the time rules of the main universe.


    "His Majesty, the Mysterious Sovereign, truly had unfathomable methods."


    Lin Yuan felt it carefully for a moment, marveling in awe.


    The Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm was hidden deep within the gaps of countless spaceyers in the main universe, even the Strongest Ones couldn''t lock onto it.


    What did it rely on?


    It relied on the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm being almost fused with the main universe.


    It was by borrowing the vastness of the main universe that those Strongest Ones returned empty-handed.


    With the Mysterious Sovereign''s methods, he could certainly create aplete, independent world.


    But if he did that, it wouldn''t be able to fuse with the main universe, and it would be only a matter of time before the Strongest Ones locked onto its coordinates.


    It''s like a white sheet of paper suddenly appearing with a ck dot; it would be quickly noticed, no matter how small the ck dot was, the contrast with the surrounding white was too great.


    But if a white dot appeared on a white sheet of paper, it would be hard to notice under the same light and dust.


    In front of a Twelfth Rank being like the Strongest Ones, once the coordinates were locked, it wouldn''t matter whether the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm was an independent,plete world or not.


    "Huh?"


    "I can sense that in other extremely distant locations, there are also Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realms?" Using the core of the secret realm, Lin Yuan gained some insight.


    The Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realms had a certain connection with each other.


    But it was just a connection; each secret realm was in a different universe, too far apart.


    Unless one was a Strongest One, even an Eleventh Rank being couldn''t cross over.


    And once they reached the level of a Strongest One, after mastering one Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm, the others wouldn''t be of much use to them.


    The most attractive thing about the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm to the Strongest Ones was the legacy left by His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign, the three great guardian secret techniques.


    As for the others? Some mysterious emperor crystals, or Ninth and Tenth Rank secret treasures? They weren''t worth a Strongest One crossing one universe after another.


    "The Mysterious Emperor''s evolutionary path has not produced an ultimate being since His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign disappeared," Lin Yuan stroked his chin, his thoughts fluctuating.


    The Mysterious Emperor''s evolutionary path had too high a threshold, making it impossible to spread. To make the ultimate leap, one could only rely on oneself.


    In the era of His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign, there was no concept of spreading one''s evolutionary path.


    The idea of using the power of all beings to aid in the ultimate leap was born in the era after His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign disappeared.


    Whether or not the Mysterious Emperor''s evolutionary path produced an ultimate being didn''t matter much to Lin Yuan.


    He had no intention of bing a Strongest One through the Mysterious Emperor''s evolutionary path.


    To Lin Yuan, the Mysterious Emperor''s evolutionary path was at most something to study and learn from.


    He would extract its essence and integrate it into himself.


    In Lin Yuan''s view, the Mysterious Emperor''s evolutionary path had many uncertainties.


    For example, what if one became a Strongest One through this evolutionary path and then His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign suddenly ''returned''? What would happen if there were two ultimate beings on the same evolutionary path?


    Would there be a conflict of the ultimate principles between the two ultimate beings?


    Would one ultimate being be the nourishment of the other?


    Of course, this possibility was very small, almost negligible.


    The hope of His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign ''returning'' was nearly nonexistent.


    But a hidden danger was still a hidden danger.


    Lin Yuan had his own martial evolutionary path that he had created from nothing, so naturally, he wouldn''t choose the former.


    Although the martial evolutionary path was currently only at the Ninth Rank, Lin Yuan, with his Unrivaled Insight, was confident he could deduce it to the Twelfth Rank.


    Or even higher.


    "Continue cultivating the ''Mysterious Emperor''s Body.''" Lin Yuan flipped his right hand, and a fist-sized mysterious emperor crystal appeared, then disintegrated into powder and fused into his body.


    Cultivating the secret technique ''Mysterious Emperor''s Body'' didn''t consume much mental power.


    Lin Yuan only needed to keep running the secret technique, absorbing the mysterious emperor crystal and various secret treasures and weapons.


    Momentster, the fist-sized mysterious emperor crystal waspletely absorbed.


    Lin Yuan flipped his hand and took out another piece.


    "This ''Mysterious Emperor''s Body'' really consumes a lot." Lin Yuan sighed inwardly.


    In the past five years, just the amount of mysterious emperor crystals Lin Yuan had consumed to cultivate this secret technique exceeded a million square units if converted into universe crystals.


    A million square universe crystals were equivalent to the entire wealth of a Ninth Rank expert at the peak of their level.


    Yet, in front of Lin Yuan, it had onlysted for five years.


    Of course.


    He consumed so much.


    But the results were extremely gratifying.


    Now, although Lin Yuan''s ''Mysterious Emperor''s Body'' had not yet reached minorpletion, his physical strength had directly doubled.


    It must be known that Lin Yuan''s physical body, after being enhanced by the mysterious gourd, was already nearly twenty times stronger than a normal expert of the same rank.


    On top of that twentyfold, his physical strength had doubled again. Lin Yuan had a feeling that just relying on the immense power of his physical body''s blood and qi, he could prate numerous spaceyers, suppress and open up several million heavy spaceyers of special Ninth Rank beings.


    The martial evolutionary path was originally better suited for physical strength, making the body stronger than other evolvers of the same rank, not to mention the enhancement from the mysterious gourd.


    Additionally.


    The increase in physical strength was just one aspect.


    After cultivating the ''Mysterious Emperor''s Body,'' an instinctive field called the ''Mysterious Sovereign''s Protective Light'' would extend from the physical body.


    Although this field couldn''t directly immunize ny percent of attacks from the same rank like the ''Elemental Body,'' as long as the Mysterious Sovereign''s Protective Light remained unbroken, Lin Yuan wouldn''t be harmed by anything, whether physical attacks, rule-based attacks, or even other more mysterious attacks.


    They would all be blocked by the Mysterious Sovereign''s Protective Light.


    Mysterious Sovereign''s Protective Light, blood rebirth, Elemental Body, Divine Sealing Bead.


    These were Lin Yuan''s four main defensive methods at the moment.


    Of course, the Divine Sealing Bead was with his true body, but even relying on the other three, Lin Yuan''s defense had almost reached the peak of the Ninth Rank.


    Even ordinary Tenth Rank beings probably couldn''t break Lin Yuan''s defense.


    In the virtual world.


    Lin Yuan was chatting with his parents.


    "Oh, right, Little Yuan, Yiyi is nning to get married." His mother, Lin Qiong, immediately shared this good news with Lin Yuan. (Yiyi is mc''s little sister''s nickname)


    "Lin Yi is nning to get married?" Lin Yuan was slightly taken aback. "So soon?"


    He had indeed heard before that his younger sister had found a boyfriend and that they got along well, but he hadn''t expected things to progress so quickly to the point of discussing marriage.


    "Soon?"


    "She''s already in her nies."


    "And you, Little Yuan, are already over a hundred."


    His mother, Lin Qiong, rolled her eyes and mentioned Lin Yuan.


    "Over a hundred years old," Lin Yuan felt a moment of daze.


    Evolvers had long lifespans; even a First or Second Rank evolver, with the help of biological technology, could easily live for several hundred or even thousands of years.


    But his parents had been ordinary people, and in human civilization, ordinary citizens generally lived over two hundred years. Getting married at ny-something was considered a te marriage.''


    "Is Lin Yi''s boyfriend that boy from the Xia family?" Lin Yuan asked.


    "Yes, Little Xia is honest and reliable. Yiyi will surely have a good life," his mother, Lin Qiong, said cheerfully.


    "Honest?"


    "Reliable?"


    Lin Yuan remained silent.


    The Xia family was a prominent family in human civilization, officially known as the ''Human Xia Family,'' with a history of producing citizens of the Eighth Rank and above, and this generation had an Eleventh Rank expert.


    A family like that couldn''t really be associated with being honest and reliable.


    It was possible that the marriage was a ''political marriage'' meant to benefit from Lin Yi''s brother, Lin Yuan himself.


    However, Lin Yuan didn''t care about these things. At his level, with countless forces watching him, finding a peaceful rtionship was almost impossible.


    Moreover, the Xia family had always had a good reputation, and marrying Lin Yi meant that even if something happened to Lin Yuan, his parents would have a strong backing.


    "Let Lin Yi''s boyfriende and see me," Lin Yuan thought for a moment before speaking.


    Generally, he didn''t bother meeting people from other forces; it was too troublesome andplicated.


    But since it concerned his sister''s marriage, Lin Yuan decided to take an interest.


    Soon.


    In less than ten minutes.


    A handsome young man appeared alongside Lin Yi.


    "Brother." Lin Yi smiled brightly, calling out.


    "Xia Keran, greetings, Milky Way Star Lord." The handsome young man beside her greeted him respectfully, with some nervousness.


    As a member of the Xia family, Xia Keran had always been confident, even in front of Seventh and Eighth Rank evolvers. But facing the Milky Way Star Lord?


    Before approaching Lin Yi, Xia Keran had been personally summoned by the Eleventh Rank elder of the Xia family, who had repeatedly warned him: "If it''s just for fun, don''t even fucking think about getting involved with the Milky Way Star Lord''s sister."


    With so many women in human civilization, and even many female aliens to choose from, the Xia family wouldn''t care.


    But if it involved the Milky Way Star Lord''s sister, there must be no negative consequences.


    Otherwise, it could bring catastrophic consequences to the Xia family.


    The Eleventh Rank elder of the family had been so cautious that Xia Keran understood the true weight of the Milky Way Star Lord.


    "Xia Keran?" Lin Yuan smiled slightly. "Your Xia family has made great contributions to human civilization."


    "That''s all in the past," Xia Keran quickly replied, without any hint of boasting.


    Although Xia Keran was from the Xia family, he had received a good education since childhood and didn''t give off any impression of arrogance or pride.


    "Lin Yi may not be as refined as the children of your big evolver families, but after you get married...


    Surely she won''t be wronged. Right?" Lin Yuan smiled at Xia Keran, his thoughts unknown.


    Facing Lin Yuan''s gaze, Xia Keran felt an invisible pressure, and even through the virtual world, his heart trembled.


    "I will treat Yiyi well," Xia Keran immediately promised.


    At the same time, he couldn''t help but think: "Why does the Milky Way Star Lord give me the same feeling as our family elder? No wonder the elder told me to be cautious with Yiyi."


    When he pursued Lin Yi, he did consider the Milky Way Star Lord, but most of it was because he genuinely liked Lin Yi.


    If it wasn''t pure affection, the Eleventh Rank elder of the Xia family would never have allowed Xia Keran to continue seeing Lin Yi.


    A powerhouse like the Milky Way Star Lord didn''t have ''mind-reading'' abilities, but seeing through a person''s heart was very easy.


    Not genuinely liking Lin Yi but still marrying her would immediately incur the Milky Way Star Lord''s wrath.


    So, even if the Xia family wanted to form ties with the Milky Way Star Lord, they would carefully consider the choice, not making any mistakes.


    "Brother, Keran really likes me," Lin Yi quickly said.


    "I know." Lin Yuan nodded.


    Through the brief interaction, Lin Yuan could tell that Xia Keran had true feelings for Lin Yi.


    But feelings were destined to be fleeting. As Lin Yi''s brother, it was necessary to give a little warning and reminder.


    The Xia family likely understood this as well.


    Lin Yi and Xia Keran''s wedding was held the next day.


    The venue was in the virtual world, and many forces of human civilization, countless guests, all came to attend.


    It wasn''t just because one side was the sister of the Milky Way Star Lord. The human Xia family was deeply rooted, and both sides were strong, making their union highly influential.


    "The Xia family really struck gold, didn''t they? They actually managed to form ties with the Milky Way Star Lord."


    Guests at the wedding discussed endlessly.


    As the news of the Milky Way Star Lord in the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm spread, even a fool could see that the Milky Way Star Lord had potential, at the very least, to reach the Eleventh Rank.


    The greatest genius in the history of human civilization, killing the invincible Eighth Rank as easily as killing chickens when at the Eighth Rank, and ughtering special Ninth Rank beings just as easily when at the Ninth Rank.


    Such an extraordinary person would undoubtedly receive the full support of human civilization, and would likely have the chance to challenge bing a Strongest One.


    If he sessfully became a Strongest One, the Xia family, as his inws, would rise to unimaginable heights.


    Of course, bing a Strongest One was no easy feat, but even if he couldn''t reach the Twelfth Rank, he was still likely to be an Eleventh Rank pinnacle expert.


    For the Xia family, there was no downside.


    Because of this, many guests felt that the Xia family had hit the jackpot.


    On the surface, the Milky Way Star Lord was only at the Ninth Rank, while the Xia family had an Eleventh Rank expert.


    But in reality, many forces with the ''Human'' prefix in their names wanted to form ties with the Milky Way Star Lord, but it was the Xia family that ultimately seeded.


    Lin Yuan chatted casually with the senior brothers of the Red Kun Lineage.


    "Master is in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Ninth Rank?" Lin Yuan nodded.


    This time, Lin Yi''s wedding had been without the presence of the Red Kun Lord because he was in seclusion.


    Seclusion for a critical breakthrough was crucial and couldn''t be interrupted.


    In fact, the Red Kun Lord had entered seclusion more than twenty years ago. It was normal for an Eighth Rank evolver to stay in seclusion for decades or even a century, especially when it involved a breakthrough to a higher realm.


    "I wonder if Master will sessfully break through to the Ninth Rank." The peak masters of the Red Kun Lineage spoke with some concern.


    The Eighth to Ninth Rank transition was a leap from a single-space life form to a multi-space life form. Although Lin Yuan had made it look easy, in reality,pleting this transition was not simple.


    If one sessfully integrated the pir rule with ordinary rules and broke through to the Ninth Rank, it would be a gradual process, but the Red Kun Lord''s seclusion was forpleting the final step of rule fusion.


    As for the final step of breaking through from the Eighth to the Ninth Rank, once the prerequisites were met, it was the least risky and least likely to have any surprises.


    "It''ll definitely be fine," Lin Yuan said.


    The Red Kun Lord''s true form was a Star Sea Kun, a ''favored child'' of the main universe''s space origin, with deep insight into space rules. There should be no major bottlenecks in the integration of space rules and fire rules.


    "That''s the Milky Way Star Lord."


    "The Milky Way Star Lord rarely shows up, always staying on the Milky Way main star."


    "Finally, we get to see the Milky Way Star Lord in person."


    Many guests focused their attention on Lin Yuan, with little interest in the Xia family.


    The Xia family had great influence, and its prominent figures frequently appeared in public, so those who wanted to meet them had mostly done so.


    But the Milky Way Star Lord had risen so quickly and so legendarily that many evolvers wanted to meet him but couldn''t.


    "This time, the Milky Way Star Lord''s performance in the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm was so impressive that my family''s elder said that when the Milky Way Star Lord reaches the Tenth Rank, he''ll likely reach the ''Beta'' level within a few centuries, and the ''Alpha'' level within five thousand years."


    "My goodness, that''s terrifying!"


    A few guests widened their eyes. They knew how formidable the ''Beta'' level at the Tenth Rank was, let alone the ''Alpha'' level. Many Tenth Rank evolvers spent hundreds of thousands or even millions of years stuck at the ''Delta'' and ''Gamma'' levels.


    And yet, the Milky Way Star Lord could reach the ''Alpha'' level so easily?


    The ''Alpha'' level at the Tenth Rank. Even on arge alien battlefield, such a strong person could significantly influence the oue of a localized battle, without the need for an Eleventh Rank being to intervene.


    "I don''t even know when I''ll reach the Seventh Rank, and you''re already discussing when the Milky Way Star Lord will reach the Alpha level at the Tenth Rank."


    "Sigh, we''re all human, so why is the Milky Way Star Lord so much more talented? I heard that the Milky Way Star Lord''s bloodline is quite ordinary?"


    More evolvers felt a bit disheartened. At the Milky Way Star Lord''s age, they were probably still stumbling through the First or Second Rank, while the Milky Way Star Lord was already at his peak.


    At the wedding.


    Lin Yuan was casually chatting.


    At that moment.


    Lin Yuan''s expression changed slightly.


    He looked up in a certain direction.


    Because at this moment, in the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm, the Yang Essence hadpletely refined the core of the secret realm.


    Buzz, buzz, buzz.


    In the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, with the earth-yellow core of the secret realm spinning before him, merging into his brow.


    In an instant.


    Lin Yuan''s mind soared infinitely, viewing every aspect of the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm from a higher perspective.


    At this moment, Lin Yuan was like the creator of the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm, overseeing everything happening within it.


    The Ninth Rank alien races and human Ninth Rank evolvers within the secret realm were unaware, but the native life forms in the secret realm vaguely sensed something.


    "Awoooo¡«¡«¡«"


    "Roarrr¡«¡«¡«"


    On the three continents, countless powerful native life forms knelt down, their expressions full of reverence, showing their submission.


    The Mysterious Sovereign reigns above!

 Chapter 343

    "So this is what it feels like topletely control the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm?"


    Lin Yuan''s mind and will were elevated as he gazed down upon the entire secret realm.


    Whether they were native life forms or Ninth Rank aliens, with just a thought, he could activate the power of the secret realm and annihte them.


    Within the secret realm, even Tenth and Eleventh Rank beings would be unable to resist Lin Yuan''s killing intent.


    Of course, the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm only allowed Eighth Rank invincible and Ninth Rank beings to enter, so there was no threat of Tenth or Eleventh Rank beings.


    "I can leave the secret realm anytime I want now," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm had an entrance but no exit. To leave, one would have to wait until the realm closed a hundred years after its opening and be near the periphery at that specific time.


    But now, as the master of the secret realm, Lin Yuan was no longer bound by this rule.


    He could leave whenever he wished.He could enter whenever he desired.


    "Better to leave the secret realm with the others," Lin Yuan decided without haste.


    He was unsure if any Strongest Ones were watching outside the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm. Even though he could leave the realm quietly, it was still wise to be cautious when dealing with Strongest Ones.


    Whoosh.


    As Lin Yuan was carefully observing every detail of the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm, a six-armed figure appeared beside him, bowing slightly toward Lin Yuan and saying:


    "Master."


    This figure was the ''consciousness'' of the secret realm, and with Lin Yuan having refined the realm, he had be its master.


    With his current authority, Lin Yuan could easily erase the six-armed figure and then restart the secret realm to birth a new consciousness.


    But there was no need for that.


    "Master is cultivating the ''Mysterious Emperor''s Body,'' which requires arge amount of mysterious emperor crystals," the six-armed figure immediately said.


    Before Lin Yuan had fully refined the core of the secret realm, the figure had some control over it and knew how many mysterious emperor crystals Lin Yuan had used.


    "There are many mysterious emperor beasts kept in the secret realm. They are condensed by the power of the entire realm. Master can obtain mysterious emperor crystals by harvesting these beasts, but please be careful not to harvest too many at once."


    The six-armed figure hesitated for a moment before speaking cautiously.


    If not for replenishing the realm''s origin, the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm would have umted far more mysterious emperor crystals over countless millennia¡ªfar more than just a small mountain''s worth.


    The reason for this was that most of the mysterious emperor crystals would dissipate on their own, returning to the realm''s origin.


    "I understand," Lin Yuan nodded.


    The so-called mysterious emperor beasts were the native life forms within the secret realm.


    Lin Yuan understood the six-armed figure''s concern.


    With his current control over the realm, killing those mysterious emperor beasts and extracting the mysterious emperor crystals was as easy as eating and drinking.


    Even if he were to ughter all the native life forms in the entire secret realm, it wouldn''t take long.


    But doing so would inevitably lead to the realm''s decline, and it could even start to copse within a million years.


    The copse of the realm wouldn''t be an irrecoverable loss for Lin Yuan as the master.


    But for the six-armed figure, it would meanplete and utter death.


    Therefore, Lin Yuan naturally wouldn''t do such a thing.


    Sustainable development of the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm was far more important than exhausting its resources.


    The most crucial aspect was that the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm would be Lin Yuan''s second most vital means of survival, second only to the Gate of Myriad Realms.


    Even in the future, should Lin Yuan find himself in an extreme situation where he was being pursued by a group of Strongest Ones, with all other escape methods proving futile, he could still hide within the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm.


    Over countless millennia, the Strongest Ones of the main universe had watched the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm open many times, yet they could do nothing to it.


    Hiding in the secret realm would be absolutely safe.


    Compared to the ''physical transmigration'' across dimensions through the Gate of Myriad Realms, hiding in the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm didn''t require the expenditure of boundary-breaking origin power. Lin Yuan could enter with just a thought.


    Moreover, the ''physical transmigration'' of the Gate of Myriad Realms had too many risks. Disying such a power in front of a Strongest One? That kind of dimensional power could drive them mad.


    Additionally, the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm could iste internal and external causalities.


    As long as Lin Yuan was inside the secret realm, those outside wouldn''t be able to sense any rted causalities; only those within the realm could feel them.


    When the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm opened and the Tianyu n''s strongest being, Huny, was chasing Lin Yuan, he had asked the ''Maduo'' walker to sense Lin Yuan''s causality and lock onto his location.


    This was because the ''Maduo'' walker was also inside the secret realm.


    What did this mean?


    As long as Lin Yuan left behind a clone, or more urately, a drop of blood in the secret realm, the istion of causality would prevent any curse-killing techniques frompletely killing Lin Yuan¡ªnot even a Strongest One could do it.


    So¡ª


    In Lin Yuan''s eyes, the value of the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm far exceeded that of the mysterious emperor crystals.


    Especially from a force''s perspective, it was an absolutely safe ''stronghold.''


    "I could establish a force now if I wanted to," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    He had so many bloodline evolution potions at his disposal, and once this secret realm closed, he could harvest anotherrge batch. Moreover, after bing an Eighth Rank citizen, he would gain the right to establish a ''human'' family with the prefix.


    And with the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm as a backyard, Lin Yuan had all the prerequisites to establish a deeply rooted and terrifying force.


    The only w was theck of trusted subordinates, which was mainly because Lin Yuan''s time in the main world had been too short.


    Furthermore, Lin Yuan wasn''t interested in having offspring, which is why the Lin family still had only a few members.


    "Take it slow."


    "My lifespan is long."


    Lin Yuan reined in his thoughts. He wasn''t very interested in establishing a force, but bing stronger would inevitably require him to do so.


    For example, as the Milky Way Star Lord, Lin Yuan already had many followers, which could be considered the embryonic form of a force.


    "Master should be attempting to reach the Tenth Rank next?" the six-armed figure asked cautiously.


    Lin Yuan had already reached the peak of the Ninth Rank in every aspect, far surpassing the peak set by the myriad races of the main universe.


    Now, to significantly increase his strength, he would need to step into the Tenth Rank.


    "Yes." Lin Yuan nodded.


    With the current period in the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realming to an end, advancing to the Tenth Rank was indeed Lin Yuan''s primary goal moving forward.


    "His Majesty once said that to be an ultimate being, one must fuse as many rules as possible during the Tenth and Eleventh Ranks. If one canprehend the chaos rule before attempting to break through to the ultimate level, it would greatly benefit the process."


    The six-armed figure pondered for a moment before speaking.


    "Chaos rule?" Lin Yuan''s expression turned serious.


    The so-called chaos rule was the fusion of all rules, returning to the origin, which was chaos.


    In His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign''s era, there was no concept of spreading one''s evolutionary path. So, to reach the level of a Strongest One, one had to rely on oneself, using all avable means.


    Typically, fusing the time and space rules was the threshold for bing an ultimate being.


    But that was already extremely difficult and had trapped countless Eleventh Rank beings. As for fusing all the rules and reverting to chaos?


    Even in the Mysterious Sovereign''s era, it was just a legend. No one had ever heard of a being achieving it; it was merely a theoretical method.


    Of course, whether it wasprehending the chaos rule or spreading one''s evolutionary path, both could assist in achieving the ultimate level. Even without these, it was still possible to attempt the breakthrough, though the sess rate would be lower.


    His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign had be an ultimate being and a Strongest One by exhausting everything and with some good fortune.


    "Thank you." Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    Just because others couldn''t do it didn''t mean Lin Yuan couldn''t. With his Unrivaled Insight, evenprehending the chaos rule wasn''t hopeless.


    At least this was the only method Lin Yuan had heard of that could greatly assist in achieving the ultimate level.


    After all, even spreading one''s evolutionary path only offered some benefit for the ultimate leap, not a significant one.


    Of course, the difficulty level of the two wasn''t the same. Spreading one''s evolutionary path? That was clearly less difficult.


    "However, spreading one''s evolutionary path not only helps with the ultimate leap but also aids in cultivation after reaching the Twelfth Rank, helping to stabilize one''s existence mark."


    Lin Yuan thought silently.


    In any case, he wouldn''t give up on spreading his path. He intended to spread his evolutionary path not only in the main universe but also in other dimensional worlds.


    This dissemination of his ''Dao'' across the myriad worlds seemed to hold infinite benefits for Lin Yuan''s future.


    In the virtual world.


    Lin Yi and Xia Keran''s wedding came to a close.


    With the influence of the Xia family and the Milky Way Star Lord, the wedding had a significant impact on human civilization. Countless virtual world ''celebrities'' and ''streamers'' had paid a high price just to participate.


    Once the wedding ended, Lin Yuan held a private gathering with some of the Tenth Rank evolvers who attended.


    "Hahaha, I''ve long heard of the Milky Way Star Lord''s name, and today I finally get to meet you,"ughed a one-armed man.


    His left sleeve fluttered, leaving only his right arm. With human civilization''s technology, it wasn''t a problem to regenerate a left arm, let alone a Tenth Rank evolver like him¡ªit would be easy.


    But the one-armed man''s left arm had been severed by a powerful enemy from the Insect Race.


    Since then, the one-armed man had not allowed his arm to regenerate, using it as a reminder to himself.


    At the Tenth Rank, thepetition was in the fusion of rules, and the presence or absence of an arm didn''t matter.


    Otherwise, wouldn''t the multi-armed races of the universe have a significant advantage?


    "I''ve heard of the ck Star Lord''s reputation as well," Lin Yuan replied.


    The one-armed man was known as the ck Star Lord.


    The ck Star Lord was an extremely terrifying Tenth Rank expert who had long been on the ''Alpha'' level threat list.


    Additionally, the ck Star Lord came from the Hei Yuan Tower, one of the nine evolutionary towers.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, it''s a pleasure to meet you," a green-haired woman said with a smile.


    "Liuli Star Lord, when you were the top genius of human civilization, I hadn''t even been born," Lin Yuan said, with a touch of emotion. "I once looked up to you as a goal."


    The Liuli Star Lord was also a peerless genius of human civilization from a certain era, possessing a rare special constitution and a bloodline of unparalleled potential. Many factors made the Liuli Star Lord shine from the First Rank to the Ninth Rank.


    When the Liuli Star Lord was at the Ninth Rank, she had opened nearly sixty millionyers of space, making her the strongest Ninth Rank being in that era among the myriad races of the universe.


    After stepping into the Tenth Rank, it took her less than a million years to reach the ''Alpha'' level.


    "You looked up to me as a goal?" The Liuli Star Lord sighed. "The Milky Way Star Lord certainly knows how to joke."


    "Hahaha, the spaceyers opened by the Milky Way Star Lord are several times more than Liuli''s. If you say that, Liuli might feel ashamed," a thin, skeletal elder said with a smile.


    He, too, was an Alpha-level Tenth Rank, once a luminary in human civilization during his era.


    Lin Yuan looked around at the dozens of Tenth Rank beings present, with the lowest being at the Beta level. All of them were significant figures in human civilization, and all had a chance to reach the Eleventh Rank.


    Among everyone present, Lin Yuan was undoubtedly the weakest, only at the Ninth Rank.


    But none of the Tenth Rank beings dared to underestimate Lin Yuan. With the strength he had disyed in the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm, it was only a matter of time before the Milky Way Star Lord stepped into the Tenth Rank.


    He would quickly rise to the Alpha level, bing the most powerful being under the Eleventh Rank.


    So all the Tenth Rank evolvers present were very friendly toward Lin Yuan.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord''s talent is truly enviable," the skeletal elder said with a tinge of admiration.


    Geniuses like the Liuli Star Lord, with their special constitutions, powerful bloodlines, and sometimes even the offspring of a Strongest One, didn''t evoke much envy from him. But the Milky Way Star Lord? So far, he hadn''t disyed any special bloodline or constitution.


    Even his teacher was just the Eighth Rank invincible Red Kun Lord.


    The Milky Way Lord had reached this point entirely on his own.


    "Talent is only temporary. When ites to pursuing the ultimate level, even the greatest talent won''t be of much use," Lin Yuan said, shaking his head.


    The Tenth Rank beings present were all hopeful of reaching the Eleventh Rank.


    And once at the Eleventh Rank, they naturally aspired to be ultimate beings.


    Of course, this was just an aspiration.


    The vast majority of Eleventh Rank beings couldn''t even attempt the ultimate leap, let alone seed.


    Breaking into that realm was incredibly difficult; no matter how deep one''s foundation was, without crucial luck, one would still fail.


    An Eleventh Rank being who failed to break through to the ultimate would faceplete and utter death, even beyond the power of a Strongest One to resurrect.


    After chatting for a while, the ck Star Lord turned to Lin Yuan and smiled, saying, "Once the Milky Way Star Lord reaches the Tenth Rank, you''ll consider entering the ''Outer Land,'' won''t you?"


    "The Outer Land," Lin Yuan repeated, his expression slightly serious.


    The Outer Land didn''t exist within the main universe. It was one of human civilization''s most important foundations.


    Human civilization had only existed for over two million years, yet it had produced so many Tenth and even Eleventh Rank experts. Why was that?


    It was important to note that even Eighth Rank beings could easily live two to three million years, and the confirmed maximum lifespan for an Eighth Rank being was five million years ording to the Devil Jade Tower.


    Of course, this maximum lifespan referred to what could be universally applied. Certain special life forms in the universe, like the ''Son of the Tree Realm,'' had much longer lifespans.


    Even so, Eighth Rank evolvers could live two to three million years, and Ninth and Tenth Rank beings even longer. Eleventh Rank beings, afterprehending theplete time rule, could achieve a form of ''alternative'' immortality.


    So why had human civilization, with only two million years of history, produced so many powerful beings?


    One of the reasons was the ''Outer Land.''


    The time flow in the Outer Land was vastly different from that of the main universe.


    One year in the main universe could be equivalent to ten thousand years in the Outer Land.


    Although such a significant time difference could lead to blurred perceptions of the Dao rules, the nine Strongest Ones of human civilization used another ultimate foundation¡ªthe Void Realm¡ªto reconstruct the Dao rules of the Outer Land.


    Although still far from the perfection of the infinite rules of the main universe, this reconstruction alleviated the issue of blurred Dao rules to some extent.


    The blurring of Dao rules was due to the time flow difference, making it difficult to perceive the Dao rules of the main universe clearly.


    But reconstructing the Dao rules in the Outer Land partially solved this problem.


    However, it was only a partial solution. The Dao rules in the Outer Land could never match those of the main universe.


    Ultimately, the rulesprehended in the Outer Land would ''shrink'' by about two-thirds when one returned to the main universe.


    But even so, the existence of so many Tenth and Eleventh Rank evolvers in human civilization was closely linked to the Outer Land.


    "I''ll think about it when the timees," Lin Yuan said, showing some interest in the Outer Land.


    While the Outer Land was inferior to the main universe in terms ofprehending the Dao rules, its exaggerated time flow was ideal for rule fusion.


    For example, afterprehending the rules of life and death, one could then proceed to fuse them, which didn''t require understanding the Dao rules.


    This was why human civilization had a rule that only Tenth Rank evolvers could enter the Outer Land.


    Tenth Rank evolvers had a much weaker dependence on perfect Dao rulespared to those at the Eighth and Ninth Ranks.


    Moreover, the most crucial point was that the drawbacks of the Outer Land could be mitigated for Lin Yuan.


    This could be achieved through the ''Chaos Crystal'' and the ''Miniature Universe'' from the Devil Jade Space.


    The Chaos Crystal contained the fusion and differentiation of countless rules, while the Miniature Universe had aprehensive bnce of rules.


    Lin Yuan needed only to bring these two into the Outer Land andprehend the essence of the Dao rules within them. While there would be some differencespared to the outside world, they wouldn''t be too significant.


    During his gathering with the Tenth Rank evolvers, Lin Yuan gained many pieces of hidden information.


    These were insights from the personal experiences of these Tenth Rank beings, which were not documented in human civilization''s records.


    Soon.


    The gathering ended.


    Lin Yuan disconnected from the virtual world and sat on the Milky Way main star.


    "These Tenth Rank evolvers are all very friendly," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    He knew that this friendliness from the Beta and Alpha level Tenth Rank beings was directed at the infinitely potential Milky Way Star Lord.


    If he were just an ordinary person, it would be impossible for these Tenth Rank evolvers to be so close to him.


    For almost all ordinary citizens of human civilization, they would never have the chance to see a Tenth Rank evolver in their lifetime.


    Whoosh.


    Inside his inner world.


    The vast world was slowly expanding.


    It finally stopped at 1.998 billion square miles.


    "The blue liquid has finally beenpletely absorbed." Lin Yuan exhaled softly. The sixth color liquid from the mysterious gourd was especially difficult to absorb.


    But this was normal. As his inner world expanded beyond one billion square miles, Lin Yuan could faintly feel the pressure from the universe.


    An inner world of one billion square miles exceeded the universe''s permitted limits. Even unique special life forms wouldn''t have an inner world surpassing a billion square miles.


    "Continue."


    Lin Yuan flipped his right hand, and a gray-blue gourd appeared.


    Lin Yuan inverted the gourd, with the mouth facing downward.


    After a long while, a drop of deep purple liquid condensed. Just by looking at it, Lin Yuan could sense the awe-inspiring perfection contained within the purple liquid.


    ...

 Chapter 344

    The perfect, profound purple liquid captivated Lin Yuan, making him feel slightly entranced. He attempted to carefully observe it, using his Unrivaled Insight toprehend its essence.


    But after a long time, he realized it had no effect.


    There were two possibilities for something that could render Unrivaled Insight useless.


    One was that the purple liquid held no secrets worthprehending.


    The second was that the essence contained within the purple liquid was too profound, beyond what Lin Yuan''s current Ninth Rank Unrivaled Insight could decipher.


    The first possibility was clearly unreasonable. How could something that allowed Lin Yuan''s inner world to break its shackles and surpass its limits not contain something worthprehending?


    "I''m already at the Ninth Rank and still can''tprehend it. This mysterious gourd''s origin is far more significant than I imagined," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    It wasn''t that he couldn''tprehend it¡ªit was that he couldn''t grasp even a single bit of it.


    If it were merely difficult toprehend, he could still try and understand it, even if he couldn''t fully grasp it. But being unable toprehend even a fraction of it meant he couldn''t even get a foothold."Forget it."


    "The gourd is in my hands, so it''s mine."


    "One day, I''ll understand it."


    If he couldn''tprehend it at the Ninth Rank, Lin Yuan didn''t believe he''d be unable to do so at the Tenth or Eleventh Rank.


    Even if, by then, he still couldn''tprehend it, Lin Yuan thought he should be pleased, as it would mean the mysterious gourd''s origins were even more extraordinary.


    "Let''s continue."


    "If I wait any longer, I feel like this drop of liquid might dissipate."


    Lin Yuan focused on the purple liquid.


    Ever since this drop of liquid condensed from the gourd''s mouth, Lin Yuan had felt a pressure from the universe, as if it wanted to erase the existence of the purple liquid.


    "Is it because my inner world will break through two billion square miles due to this purple liquid?"


    Lin Yuan had a guess.


    An inner world of one billion miles was the limit for all life forms in the universe, including those with unique abilities. The fact that Lin Yuan had easily surpassed it already meant he had broken a certain rule.


    But two billion miles? That was the limit of limits.


    The seven types of liquid in the mysterious gourd¡ªred, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple¡ªseemed simr, but thetter drops were undoubtedly more precious and rarer than the earlier ones.


    The blue liquid had increased Lin Yuan''s inner world from 1.665 billion miles to 1.998 billion miles.


    The purple liquid could increase it from 1.998 billion miles to 2.331 billion miles.


    Both increased the size by 1.333 times.


    But in reality, the purple liquid''s enhancement was based on the extreme limit reached by the blue liquid.


    Going further from perfection is not something that can be easilypared to the blue liquid.


    It''s like how athletes from lower civilizations, who haven''t even ventured into space, can run a hundred meters in nine seconds.


    Running a hundred meters in nine seconds,pared to running it in eight seconds or seven seconds, the difficulty doesn''t increase proportionally but exponentially.


    The growth of the inner world is simr.


    "Absorb."


    Lin Yuan swallowed the purple liquid in one gulp.


    Boom!


    A terrifying purple me instantly ignited within Lin Yuan''s body.


    This me wasn''t a rule-based attack, so the Elemental Body was useless, and the Blood Rebirth ability was immediately shattered. Lin Yuan''s body quickly turned to ashes.


    Buzz.


    A momentter.


    Lin Yuan''s physical body reformed, a trace of shock on his face.


    "The absorption of this purple liquid is much more difficult than the previous six drops." Lin Yuan steadied himself, thinking.


    Usually, when absorbing thetest liquid, it starts rtively smoothly, but with the purple liquid, Lin Yuan felt an unprecedented level of difficulty from the beginning.


    "Let''s try again."


    Lin Yuan took out the mysterious gourd once more. At this point, the gourd''s surface had turned a grayish-purple, both mottled and radiant.


    Alien Battlefield.


    Beneath a massive permanent spatial rift.


    Lin Yuan''s Yin Spirit sat cross-legged, asionally sensing other strong beings passing by, yet they couldn''t detect his presence.


    Absorbing the boundary-breaking origin power from a permanent spatial rift didn''t require being in the main space; it could be absorbed from within the multiple spatialyers.


    This permanent spatial rift resulted from an attack at the Strongest One level, tearing through numerous spatialyers. No matter which spatialyer Lin Yuan was in, he could absorb the boundary-breaking origin power.


    "I''ve umted 148 strands of boundary-breaking origin power," Lin Yuan smiled.


    Before his ninth transmigration, Lin Yuan had umted 120 strands of boundary-breaking origin power, with ten strands consumed during the ninth transmigration, leaving him with 110 strands.


    Since the end of the ninth transmigration to the present day, more than a decade had passed, allowing him to gather an additional 38 strands of boundary-breaking origin power.


    "Boundary-breaking origin poweres from permanently torn space. This suggests that the power source of the Gate of Myriad Realms must continuously tear space at its root. This doesn''t seem like a good thing."


    Lin Yuan stroked his chin.


    Constantly tearing space at its root to a certain extent could potentially lead to the destruction of the main universe.


    Of course, the main universe possesses a will that wouldn''t allow a Strongest One to do such a thing. Causing permanent spatial rifts within a certain range wouldn''t provoke a reaction from the universe''s will.


    But if a Strongest One dared to do this on arge scale, the universe''s will would certainly intervene.


    "However, once I reach the Tenth Rank, I can choose to head to arge alien battlefield and absorb the permanent spatial rifts there."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    In medium and small alien battlefields, these spatial rifts were often created by evolvers wielding Strongest One-level weapons over long periods.


    But inrge alien battlefields, the spatial rifts were caused by the direct actions of Strongest Ones.


    Large alien battlefields were primarily arenas where peak races engaged in strategic games, with Strongest Ones confronting each other and asionally shing.


    These were the ces where the strongest beings of the universe and countless star races gathered, where Ninth and Tenth Rank beings, who were usually extremely rare, would converge.


    Even Eleventh Rank beings asionally appeared there.


    However, unless absolutely necessary, Eleventh Rank beings wouldn''t engage inbat, and shes between Strongest Ones were rare, urring perhaps once every tens of thousands of years.


    The most recent battle between Strongest Ones, as far as anyone knew, was decades ago, involving a corpse from a Strongest One from outside the universe.


    "After I step into the Tenth Rank, I''ll have enough self-protection power even in arge battlefield," Lin Yuan thought.


    If he were still at the Ninth Rank, it would be less secure. Certain special Eleventh Rank beings couldpletely perform curse-killing techniques.


    Once he reached the Tenth Rank, he''d be much safer. ording to the principle that it takes at least two great realms of difference to curse-kill someone, it would require a Strongest One to curse-kill a Tenth Rank being.


    If an alien Strongest One were to make a move, a human Strongest One would surely respond.


    Under such bnce, Lin Yuan might lose a Spirit, but his true self would remain unaffected.


    "I wonder how much the permanent spatial rifts inrge alien battlefields will enhance my efficiency in gathering boundary-breaking origin power?"


    Lin Yuan was somewhat eager.


    Virtual World.


    Lin Yuan met with Doko and other special Ninth Rank beings.


    "Milky Way Lord, some Ninth Rank aliens, who have been driven into the inner regions, are willing to offer all their gains from this secret realm in exchange for allowing their avatars to leave the secret realm," Doko said.


    The Ninth Rank aliens surrounded by the evolvers of human civilization mainly belonged to peak races like the Insect Race and the Tianyu n, but there were also powerful races and strong beings from special life forms.


    These Ninth Rank aliens had fallen into the human civilization''s encirclement list, entirely because of their association with peak races.


    But now that the situation in the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm hadpletely rified, with the Milky Way Lord suppressing them, those Ninth Rank aliens had no chance.


    Under such circumstances, a few of the Ninth Rank aliens naturally wanted to bow to human civilization, at least to ensure their avatars could leave alive.


    For many races, a Ninth Rank expert is a pir of strength. Losing an avatar would have a significant impact on the race.


    "If they chose to ally with the Insect Race and the Tianyu n, they should have known the consequences," Lin Yuan said calmly.


    Offer all their gains from this secret realm?


    Even if they didn''t offer them, once the secret realm closed, it would all belong to Lin Yuan anyway.


    He could even obtain their physical essence and blood, which were alreadyparable to many cosmic treasures.


    "Understood."


    Doko was visibly excited.


    This was the Milky Way Lord, the strongest genius in human civilization''s history.


    He wouldn''tpromise in the face of aliens and would rather forgo any gains than let those aliens feelfortable.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    Lin Yuan stopped absorbing the purple liquid from the mysterious gourd.


    Firstly, having his body continuously turn to ashes was a form of self-harm.


    Secondly, the liquid in the mysterious gourd wasn''t infinite, and it took time for new liquid to condense.


    "I''ll shift my focus toprehending the Mysterious Emperor''s evolutionary path."


    Lin Yuan turned to the Mysterious Emperor''s evolutionary path.


    In the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm, his Yang Essence was cultivating the ''Mysterious Emperor''s Strike'' and the ''Mysterious Emperor''s Body.''


    On the alien battlefield, his Yin Essence wasprehending the time rule and cultivating the ''Step of Time and Space.''


    And his true self on the Milky Way Main Star was focused onprehending various evolutionary paths,paring them with the Chaos Crystal and the Miniature Universe for mutual validation.


    Each of Lin Yuan''s three bodies had a specific focus.


    "The Mysterious Emperor''s evolution is indeed marvelous. The chapters on the Tenth and Eleventh Ranks are entirely different from the nine great Strongest One evolutionary paths in current human civilization."


    Lin Yuan was deeply immersed in hisprehension of the Mysterious Emperor''s evolutionary path. The deeper his understanding, the more it promoted his cultivation of the ''Mysterious Emperor''s Strike'' and the ''Mysterious Emperor''s Body.''


    Meanwhile, hisprehension of the ''Step of Time and Space'' was enhancing his understanding of the time and space rules.


    Various shes of insight intertwined and merged, and under the influence of Unrivaled Insight, Lin Yuan was progressing at an unimaginable speed.


    "The transition from the Ninth to the Tenth Rank is a gradual process of transformation, and it cannot be aplished in a short time." Whileprehending, Lin Yuan also monitored his transformation.


    Ninth Rank experts have opened up at least tens of millions ofyers of space. Transforming all theseyers together is not something that can be done quickly.


    "In my current situation, once the transformation begins, it will take about a hundred years toplete." Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Other Ninth Rank experts, when breaking through to the Tenth Rank, would be extremely cautious during the transformation period, monitoring the changes in their inner world and the countlessyers of space.


    They would need to make adjustments from time to time.


    But Lin Yuan didn''t need to pay attention to these things. With his vast inner world and deep spatialyers, once his foundation reached a certain level, the transformation would happen naturally.


    "A hundred years¡­" Lin Yuan sighed slightly.


    He had spent just over a hundred years in the main universe, and now this one breakthrough would take a hundred years.


    "In this hundred years, I won''t be doing any transmigration." Lin Yuan made up his mind.


    At his current level, blind transmigration wouldn''t be very useful. It was better to step into the Tenth Rank first before considering how to proceed with transmigration.


    This hundred-year period would be ideal for umting arge amount of boundary-breaking origin power. Lin Yuan was curious about the ''customized'' transmigration option offered by the Gate of Myriad Realms.


    With sufficient boundary-breaking origin power, Lin Yuan wouldn''t mind trying a ''customized'' transmigration.


    Of course, the precondition would be that it provided significant benefits, at least something unattainable in the main world.


    After all, a ''customized'' transmigration would require at least a hundred strands of boundary-breaking origin power. Without the prospect of great rewards, Lin Yuan wouldn''t even consider it.


    "The Tenth Rank chapter of the Mysterious Emperor''s evolutionary path mainly discusses the essence of the time rule."


    "And the Tenth Rank chapter of the Xiayou evolutionary path also focuses on the essence of the time rule."


    "Both discuss the essence of the time rule, but inpletely different ways."


    Lin Yuan was amazed.


    The Xiayou evolutionary path was one of the nine great Strongest One evolutionary paths in human civilization, with its ultimate existence being the Strongest One, Xia Qin.


    With Lin Yuan''s current wealth, even without counting the gains from the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm, he had enough to buy all nine great Strongest One evolutionary paths of human civilization.


    For Lin Yuan, the primary use of these Strongest One evolutionary paths was forprehension and reference.


    He would understand their interpretation of the rules and then integrate that understanding into his martial evolutionary path.


    "Time¡­"


    Lin Yuan''s gaze was calm as he simultaneously took out the Miniature Universe, feeling theplete time rule operating within it.


    "I''ve alreadyprehended 1,823 time rule models, but the more I understand, the more confused I be."


    Lin Yuan sighed with emotion.


    If he hadn''t yet begun to understand the time rule, he would still think of it as just that.


    But as he delved deeper into the time rule, he became increasingly aware of his own insignificance.


    In the vast, eternal river of time, what was he? Even an Eleventh Rank being, no matter how strong, was just a bigger fish.


    Only a Strongest One couldpletely transcend the river of time, existing eternally.


    "The 1,823rd time model¡­ I''m still far from fully understanding theplete time rule." Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Currently, human civilization''s evolutionary schrs had summarized a total of 2,173 time rule models.


    But that didn''t meanprehending these 2,173 models would lead to an understanding of theplete time rule.


    Unlike the space rule, human civilization''s numerous evolutionary schrs had developed a rtively mature understanding of the space rule.


    Comprehending all the core space models would lead to an understanding of theplete space rule.


    But as for the time rule? Even if oneprehended all the currently known time rule models, it wouldn''t be enough to grasp theplete time rule.


    Understanding theplete time rule could only be achieved by oneself.


    No matter how many time rule models there were, they were only aids. The final step could only be taken by oneself.


    "I''ve finally hit a bottleneck in myprehension of the time rule¡­" Lin Yuan stopped his efforts.


    Even with Unrivaled Insight and theplete time rule operating within the Miniature Universe, Lin Yuan had reached a standstill in hisprehension of the next time rule model.


    This was perfectly normal; hitting a bottleneck whileprehending the time rule was almost inevitable.


    As for the Miniature Universe? It merely made it easier for its owner toprehend the time rule; it didn''t grant direct mastery of the rule.


    If the Miniature Universe could do that, it wouldn''t have just appeared as a reward in the third or fourthyer of the Nine-Tier ck Tower.


    "Maybe I should consult a Strongest One?" Lin Yuan suddenly thought.


    This feeling of hitting a bottleneck was temporary, and it shouldn''t hold Lin Yuan back for long.


    But if there was a shortcut, why waste time?


    During hisst meeting with Xia Qin, the Strongest One had explicitly said that Lin Yuan could reach out to him anytime if he had questions about cultivation.


    "Let''s ask."


    Lin Yuan immediately began contacting Xia Qin, the Strongest One.


    He also had some doubts about the Xiayou evolutionary path, which he nned to ask about during this meeting.


    On top of the Majestic Evolutionary Tower.


    Xia Qin, the Strongest One, suddenly opened his eyes.


    "Hm?"


    "That little guy is reaching out to me?"


    Xia Qin received Lin Yuan''s message and smiled.


    He almost thought Lin Yuan had forgotten about him, a Strongest One.


    "Is it a cultivation question?" Xia Qin was in a good mood.


    A genius like Lin Yuan was unprecedented in human history.


    Although it was still uncertain whether he would be a Strongest One, guiding such a unique genius gave Xia Qin a sense of aplishment.


    "Come over."


    Xia Qin agreed to meet with Lin Yuan.


    Instantly, Lin Yuan appeared below.


    "Greetings, Strongest One Xia Qin." Lin Yuan bowed slightly.


    This was still the virtual world, but it was the personal world of a Strongest One. Without their permission, outsiders couldn''t enter.


    Even a peerless genius like Lin Yuan had to notify the Strongest One before entering.


    "Rise."


    "Tell me your question."


    Xia Qin, the Strongest One, looked at Lin Yuan with interest.


    He was curious about what kind of cultivation question Lin Yuan had.


    Was it a question about cultivation at the Ninth Rank?


    Or a question about the breakthrough from the Ninth to the Tenth Rank?


    Or perhaps a misunderstanding about some aspect of space?


    Xia Qin''s thoughts drifted, wondering what kind of question Lin Yuan would ask.


    He guessed that Lin Yuan''s confusion was likely rted to space. After all, he was only at the Ninth Rank, and no matter how manyyers of space he had opened, he was still at the Ninth Rank, and the issues he faced were at that level.


    "Strongest One Xia Qin," Lin Yuan thought for a moment before solemnly asking, "I''m having some trouble understanding the Tri-Yu Time Index in the Xiayou evolutionary path¡­ Is it three different states of time? Or a time vortex entangled with the Tri-Yu form?"


    The Tri-Yu Time Index in the Xiayou evolutionary path involved different states of time regions. Lin Yuan had beenparing it with time rule models and found some details puzzling.


    "The Xiayou evolutionary path?"


    Xia Qin''s eyebrows lifted slightly. This was his foundational evolutionary path.


    But then Xia Qin froze.


    The Tri-Yu Time Index wasn''t that part of the Xiayou evolutionary path only discussed in the Eleventh Rank chapter?


    ...

 Chapter 345

    "Three Nether Time Index?" (I changed the name)


    The strongest one, Xia Qin, was somewhat shocked. As the ultimate being of the Xia You evolution path, he was well aware of what the Three Nether Time Index signified.


    At the very least, one had to have an extremely high understanding of the rules of time to even hope to grasp the Three Nether Time Index.


    In this regard, the fact that this time index is included in the eleventh rank of the Xia You evolution path speaks volumes.


    Most evolvers who have just entered the eleventh rank have not yetprehended this time index. And now, Lin Yuan, a ninth-rank lifeform, has understood it?


    "Are you sure it''s the Three Nether Time Index?" Xia Qin, the strongest one, looked at Lin Yuan and asked.


    In truth, the strongest one, Xia Qin, already had the answer in his heart. How could someone of his stature forget what was just said?


    "Yes, it''s the Three Nether Time Index," Lin Yuan nodded.


    The nine strongest ones of human civilization were absolutely trustworthy. Apart from a few secrets like the Gate of Myriad Realms, the Mysterious Gourd, and the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm, there was no need to hide anything else.Especially when it came to understanding the rules of time, which were not something to be plundered. The more Lin Yuan revealed, the more attention he would receive.


    The most crucial point was that if he didn''t directly state where he was confused, how could he get guidance from the strongest ones?


    "The Three Nether Time Index is a kind of measurement of time flow," Xia Qin, the strongest one, stared at Lin Yuan for a moment before starting to exin.


    Upon hearing this, countless insights surged in Lin Yuan''s mind, and numerous doubts regarding the rules of time were resolved.


    [Your Unrivaled Insight allows you to perceive the essence of the time rules, deepening your understanding of the 1,823rd time model.]


    [Your Unrivaled Insight allows you to perceive the essence of the time rules, deepening your understanding of the 1,823rd time model.]


    [Your Unrivaled Insight allows you to perceive the essence of the time rules,prehending the 1,823rd time model.]


    After just listening for half an hour, Lin Yuanpletely understood the time model that had been troubling him and gained a new understanding of the rules of time.


    "Time, this is time."


    Lin Yuan was ted. Xia Qin''s exnation of the Three Nether Time Index had shown him another aspect of time, rather than just being limited to this particr time index.


    This was truly a case of "understanding one to infer ten, or even a hundred."


    On his throne, Xia Qin, the strongest one, noticed Lin Yuan was silent and waited for a while before asking, "How is it? Did you understand? Should I exin it again?"


    Generally, even an eleventh-rank evolver would be extremely confused when first encountering the concept of the Three Nether Time Index, and even after his dedicated exnation, they would remain perplexed for some time.


    It required constant verification with the time rules of the main universe to gradually understand.


    "Thank you, strongest one, I''ve already understood," Lin Yuan quickly said.


    At this moment, Lin Yuan hadpletely understood the Three Nether Time Index, and he had alsoprehended all 1,823 time models.


    In the short term, Lin Yuan would not encounter any bottlenecks in the rules of time.


    "Huh?"


    "You already understand?"


    Xia Qin, the strongest one, fell silent once again.


    ''I just exined it once, and you already understand?''


    Xia Qin observed Lin Yuan closely, somewhat incredulous.


    "Yes." Lin Yuan raised his right hand, instantly constructing the 1,823rd time model, with threads of time power weaving around his fingertips.


    Whether it was a space model or a time model, they were both expressions of understanding the essence of space and time by the pioneering schrs of human civilization, presented in a form that was easier for the public to understand.


    "Hmm," Xia Qin, the strongest one, nced at the time model Lin Yuan had constructed and knew immediately that he truly understood.


    If you don''t understand, you can''t construct such a time model.


    Even copying wouldn''t work.


    In terms of understanding the rules, either you get it, or you don''t.


    "Lin Yuan..." Xia Qin, the strongest one, looked at Lin Yuan withplex emotions. "You''ve really surprised me."


    He had long been aware of everything that happened in the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm. Originally, he thought Lin Yuan had a profound understanding of the essence of space, but he didn''t expect that his understanding in the domain of time rules was just as deep.


    Comprehending the 1,823rd time model? When did he achieve this?


    And Lin Yuanprehended it at the ninth rank?


    Doesn''t this mean that his aptitude in the rules of time surpasses that of the strongest ones of the same period?


    If Lin Yuan were a special lifeform, it would be understandable. Some special lifeforms with time attributes find it easy toprehend time rules.


    Just like how the Star-Sea Kun easilyprehends space rules.


    But Lin Yuan isn''t even a special lifeform, let alone having the bloodline of one.


    "Luck, just luck. I happened to have been understanding it quite smoothly recently," Lin Yuan humbly said.


    "Understanding it quite smoothly?" Xia Qin, the strongest one, felt that something didn''t sound quite right.


    "The rules of time are very important." Xia Qin, the strongest one, pondered for a moment before saying, "The earlier you fullyprehend the rules of time, the more beneficial it will be for your future."


    "If you canprehend all the time models before stepping into the tenth rank,e find me again," said Xia Qin, the strongest one.


    So far, human civilization has constructed 2,173 time models.


    Comprehending all the time rule models would only mean that one''s understanding of the time rules had reached a certain height, but there was still a distance to fullyprehending time rules.


    Toplete this journey, the evolver has to rely on their own insights and understanding.


    Of course, certain external forces could also have a catalytic effect in this regard.


    "Understood." Lin Yuan nodded. "Then I''ll take my leave now."


    As Lin Yuan finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared beside him.


    It was also someoneing to pay respects to Xia Qin, the strongest one.


    "Vice Tower Master Nn?" Lin Yuan was slightly taken aback, recognizing the other person.


    Vice Tower Master Nn was the vice master of the Xiayou Evolution Tower, presided over by Xia Qin, the strongest one.


    Earlier, when humanity was dealing with the Insect Race''s actions on the alien battlefield, and when they were settling ounts with the ck Abyss n, it was Vice Tower Master Nn who took action.


    Vice Tower Master Nn single-handedly suppressed several tenth-rank ancestors of the ck Abyss n, forcing them to hide in the ck Abyss Secret Realm and eventually copsing the entire edge region of the ck Abyss n before leaving.


    Moreover, when Xia Qin, the strongest one, bestowed the Divine Sealing Bead, it was Vice Tower Master Nn who personally traveled a great distance to deliver it to Lin Yuan.


    Now, Lin Yuan had some understanding of Vice Tower Master Nn''s strength¡ªtenth rank, ss A, and a formidable presence even among ss A.


    Currently, the nine evolution towers of human civilization all have vice masters who are tenth rank. As for why they are not eleventh rank?


    Every eleventh rank existence is preparing for the ultimate breakthrough. Even if there is little hope, they would not give up easily.


    The vice master position in the evolution towers primarily handles various affairs outside the evolution path, which are matters the strongest ones have no interest in, and the eleventh-rank evolvers don''t have time for.


    Therefore, the vice masters are usually tenth-rank evolvers.


    However, to maintain the dignity of the position, those who be vice masters are at least ss A of the tenth rank, and Vice Tower Master Nn is one of the top in ss A.


    "Milky Way Star Lord," Vice Tower Master Nn nodded slightly, recognizing Lin Yuan.


    Nowadays, the name of the Milky Way Star Lord is extremely prominent within human civilization. It''s hard not to notice with all the various achievements attached to his name.


    However, Vice Tower Master Nn didn''t have any particr emotions about it because the Milky Way Star Lord indeed had earned that reputation. At least, Vice Tower Master Nn couldn''t have reached such heights at the ninth rank.


    Whoosh.


    Lin Yuan withdrew from the personal world of the strongest one.


    "Strongest one," Vice Tower Master Nn raised his head, looking up at Xia Qin, the strongest one, seated on the high throne.


    "The strongest one seems to be in a good mood?" Vice Tower Master Nn was curious. It was rare to see the strongest one exhibit any emotion.


    At their level, eternal and enduring, few things could truly interest them.


    "I''ve glimpsed the future of human civilization," Xia Qin, the strongest one, said with a smile. Lin Yuan, at the ninth rank, had such an understanding of the time rules.


    Combined with his establishment of the Martial Dao Evolution System, Xia Qin, the strongest one, believed that Lin Yuan had a much better chance of reaching the ultimate level than other eleventh-rank evolvers of human civilization.


    "The future of human civilization?" Vice Tower Master Nn was puzzled. Only the most exalted of the strongest ones could bear such a title.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    "The guidance from the strongest one indeed saved me from taking some detours," Lin Yuan smiled.


    Without Xia Qin''s exnation, it might have taken him several months or even a year or two toprehend the Three Nether Time Index.


    "However, this guidance''s effectiveness is entirely based on my umted knowledge."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Before seeking advice from the strongest one, Lin Yuan had already been stuck on this bottleneck for some time and had made various attempts.


    Because of this, Xia Qin''s exnation immediately made sense to Lin Yuan.


    If he had not made those prior attempts and sought advice from the strongest one at the first sign of a bottleneck, the result would not have been as effective.


    "Xia Qin, the strongest one, said that after Iprehended all the time models, I should visit him again..." Lin Yuan recalled the strongest one''s instruction before leaving.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    Chun Bo, Jia Li, and other administrators, including Red Skin and Green Eyes, came to visit Lin Yuan.


    Normally, the affairs of the Milky Way Main Star and even the entire Milky Way Star Domain were decided by them, and then the results were reported to Lin Yuan.


    They would only visit Lin Yuan if they encountered matters they couldn''t resolve or didn''t have the authority to decide.


    "Star Lord," Chun Bo, Jia Li, and the others were all very respectful. Just by looking at the young man sitting cross-legged on the ground, they felt a trembling in their hearts, unable to muster even a thought of resistance.


    It was as if ordinary citizens or first-rank evolvers were facing a Star-Sea Kun asrge as a, with the oppression of life essence leaving them with no desire to oppose.


    "The Star Lord has already been restraining his aura as much as possible, but we still feel immense pressure. How strong is the Star Lord?" The administrators spected.


    "Nowadays, the Star Lord''s reputation in human civilization surpasses that of many tenth-rank evolvers. The events in the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm have made many alien races both fear and hate the Star Lord."


    As eighth-rank evolvers, the administrators were well-informed and aware of the recent events in the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm.


    "The Star Lord''s strength now must far exceed that of the former master," Red Skin and Green Eyes, the two eighth-rank aliens, marveled.


    "The former master was worried that the Star Lord would be bullied when he first entered the eighth rank and took charge of the Star Domain. Now, who would dare to bully the Star Lord?"


    Red Skin and Green Eyes were filled with emotion. They were considered Lin Yuan''s loyal followers, from being the Red Kun Star Lord to the current Milky Way Star Lord.


    As aliens, Red Skin and Green Eyes were destined not to achieve much within human civilization. Their only support was the Milky Way Star Lord.


    "What''s the matter?"


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes, with most of his mind still focused on cultivation, and looked at the people before him.


    He had long left orders that he should not be disturbed unless it was a matter that could not be decided or would affect the entire Star Domain.


    This was also the norm for most Star Lords in charge of a Star Domain, spending most of their time in seclusion.


    "Star Lord," Red Skin respectfully said, "Recently, the Shadow Race contacted us, hoping to establish a trade route with the Milky Way Star Domain."


    "The Shadow Race?"


    "A trade route?"


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts moved, and he immediately understood the details of the matter.


    The territory of the Milky Way Star Domain originally belonged to the Shadow Race.


    However, they were forced to retreat after losing to the Human Civilization Alliance on the alien battlefield.


    So, in reality, the Milky Way Star Domain borders the territory of the Shadow Race.


    "I see."


    Lin Yuan''s expression was thoughtful.


    No wonder Chun Bo, Jia Li, and the other administrators made a special visit to Lin Yuan.


    This was indeed a decision they couldn''t make.


    Establishing a trade route with an alien race was always a sensitive issue, especially when the race in question was an enemy of human civilization.


    "Some of the Shadow Race''s resources are indeed quite useful to human civilization," Lin Yuan thought silently.


    For example, the Shadow Stone, a specialty of the Shadow Race, is a necessary material for building high-level warships, enhancing their stealth capabilities.


    "Agreed."


    Lin Yuan considered for a moment and decided to agree.


    Engaging in moderate trade with alien races could elerate the development of the Star Domain.


    If Lin Yuan were still at the eighth rank, he would certainly avoid getting involved with the Shadow Race. But now, he was already at the ninth rank and was progressing towards the tenth rank.


    The threat from the Shadow Race was no longer something he worried about.


    As long as the trade was controlled and certain trade resources on the human civilization side were regted, there would be no problems.


    Of course.


    The most important point was.


    The initiative in establishing the trade route with the Shadow Race was entirely in Lin Yuan''s hands, and he could stop it at any time.


    "Understood."


    Chun Bo, Jia Li, and the other administrators exchanged nces, knowing exactly what to do.


    In fact, trading with the Shadow Race was definitely more beneficial than harmful, but no one dared to make that decision except the Star Lord.


    "Any major events in the Star Domain recently?" Lin Yuan asked.


    "No major events," Green Eyes replied carefully, "With the Star Lord''s reputation spreading, more and more business groups are willing to establish branches on the Main Star. The development of the Main Star is far faster than anticipated."


    For the rapid development of a fringe Star Domain in human civilization, the first key consideration was stability and security.


    A fringe Star Domain that borders alien races often encounters conflicts and contacts, making the strength of the Star Lord crucial.


    A strong Star Lord can protect the Star Domain, bringing a great sense of security to all the citizens within it.


    In such a situation,rge corporations and groups are naturally willing to establish themselves there.


    After all, fringe Star Domains are not only fully open but also represent untapped potential, with endless wealth for those who seize it.


    After discussing with Chun Bo, Jia Li, and the other administrators to understand the current situation of the Milky Way Star Domain, Lin Yuan waved them away.


    "Now, the Milky Way Star Domain has started to turn a profit."


    "The taxes alone from the past two years have reached eight thousand cubic universe crystals."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. Eight thousand cubic universe crystals are roughly equivalent to the entire fortune of an eighth-rank evolver.


    Of course, the Milky Way Star Domain''s revenue is not unrted to Lin Yuan''s influence. An ordinary eighth-rank Star Lord, no matter how well they manage their Star Domain, could never reach this level of ie.


    Deep within the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his internal energy fluctuating before finally settling, permeating every inch of his flesh.


    "The <em>Mysterious Emperor''s Body</em> has finally reached minor aplishment." Lin Yuan smiled.


    Simultaneously, an invisible field spread ten feet around him, centered on his body.


    This was the Mysterious Emperor''s Light of Protection.


    Only after the <em>Mysterious Emperor''s Body</em> reaches minor aplishment does this ability emerge, capable of blocking all attacks.


    Be it physical attacks, soul attacks, or even rule-based attacks, all are within the defense range of the Mysterious Emperor''s Light of Protection.


    As long as the Mysterious Emperor''s Light of Protection isn''t broken, no cmity can harm Lin Yuan.


    This is the power of the Mysterious Emperor Lineage''s three great protective secret methods, symbolizing the terrifying defense of this secret art.


    "The <em>Mysterious Emperor''s Body</em> at minor aplishment..." Lin Yuan thought of the consumed Mysterious Emperor Crystals and felt a bit of heartache.


    At least a billion cubic universe crystals'' worth of Mysterious Emperor Crystals were spent just to push this secret method to minor aplishment, not counting the weapons and secret treasures Lin Yuan had devoured.


    "My current defense capability, relying solely on the Mysterious Emperor''s Light of Protection, can''t be broken by those special ninth-rank beings," Lin Yuan looked slightly more pleased. Though he had paid a lot, the return was equally gratifying.


    "And then there''s the <em>Mysterious Emperor Strike</em>." Lin Yuan raised his right hand, with threads of energy gathering.


    Besides the improvement in the <em>Mysterious Emperor''s Body</em>, Lin Yuan had also advanced the <em>Mysterious Emperor Strike</em> to the second stage.


    With every move, he could maintain a ''constant'' state that exceeds his own power by three times.


    This explosive secret method, despite consuming more energy, had no hidden dangers and could maintain a ''constant'' state.


    In simple terms, once activated, there was no cooldown time.


    "Let''s continue cultivating." Lin Yuan briefly examined himself before resuming his training.


    With his current strength, he could certainly be considered formidable within the ninth and tenth ranks, but he was still far from reaching the pinnacle of the universe.


    Even with the protection of the strongest ones of human civilization, Lin Yuan still believed that holding power in his own hands was the safest.


    Relying on the protection of the strongest ones? It''s better to be the strongest one himself.


    Time passed slowly.


    The various races of the cosmic starry sky were secretly stirring.


    Lin Yuan was also continuously enhancing his strength through relentless cultivation.


    In the blink of an eye, twenty years had passed.

 Chapter 346

    Milky Way Main Star.


    "Twenty years have passed." Lin Yuan opened his eyes and looked at the vast and boundless cosmic starry sky.


    The stronger a being is in the main universe, the less sensitive they are to the passage of time. It''s not umon for a strong being to spend hundreds or even thousands of years in seclusion. Twenty years is hardly considered a blink of an eye.


    But the changes that these twenty years had brought to Lin Yuan were extraordinarily significant.


    First, in terms of his cultivation of the Mysterious Emperor Strike and the Mysterious Emperor Body, both had reached the third stage.


    By utilizing the Mysterious Emperor Strike, Lin Yuan could constantly maintain a strength that was four times beyond his own limits. Every move he made, the power he unleashed, would even cause a typical tenth-rank being to be cautious.


    Of course, Lin Yuan had yet to face any tenth-rank beings. He had only roughly gauged his own power by reviewing human civilization''s recorded videos of tenth-rank battles.


    But to challenge a tenth-rank being as a ninth-rank, and not just an early tenth-rank ss E, was beyond astonishing.


    The leap from ninth to tenth rank is a major breakthrough, not something that can bepensated for by merely opening a few million moreyers of space.Of course, Lin Yuan hadn''t just opened a few millionyers; he had opened more than 2 billion.


    "Inner World."


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness descended into his inner world.


    After twenty years of continuously absorbing the purple liquid from the mysterious gourd, Lin Yuan''s inner world had finally expanded to over 200M miles in radius.


    "It seems that only by reaching the tenth rank will I be able to fully absorb the purple liquid," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The difficulty of absorbing the purple liquid exceeded his expectations. Now, Lin Yuan was only about fifty years away frompleting his transformation and stepping into the tenth rank.


    In fifty years, at the current rate of absorption, it was practically impossible to fully absorb it.


    "I wonder, what changes will the mysterious gourd undergo once all the purple liquid is absorbed?" Lin Yuan''s thoughts stirred, and a grayish-purple gourd appeared before him.


    Through the gourd''s "verification," Lin Yuan had obtained some information, including details about the seven types of liquid contained within the gourd.


    But what changes the gourd would undergo after absorbing all seven types of liquid remained unknown.


    "Take it slow," Lin Yuan decided not to dwell on his inner world.


    "Space-Time Step." Lin Yuan thought of the escape secret technique within the three great protective secret methods of the Mysterious Emperor Lineage.


    Compared to the rapid progress of the previous two secret techniques, his progress in this one had been much slower.


    However, despite the slow progress, Lin Yuan had still managed to reach the point where he could traverse tens of millions of light-years in a single step. ?


    Of course, this "step" had significant limitations¡ªit could only be taken a total of nine times.


    After taking nine steps, Lin Yuan would have crossed ny million light-years, at which point much of the energy within him would be exhausted, a cost far more severe than using the physical enhancement technique.


    Energy depletion meant Lin Yuan would have no ability to resist, so this escape secret technique was generally not used to take all nine steps, as the cost was too great.


    "The ''Steps Through Time and Space'' technique is a fusion of time and space rules. For me, perhaps only after fullyprehending the rules of time will it be easier to understand?"


    Lin Yuan''s eyes brightened slightly.


    For an eleventh-rank being to aim for the ultimate breakthrough, one of the prerequisites is the fusion of time and space rules.


    Normally, an eleventh-rank being would have no clue how to fuse space-time, but Lin Yuan saw traces of space-time fusion within this secret technique.


    "His Majesty, the Mysterious Sovereign, was actually able to reveal the essence of space-time fusion in the form of a secret technique. It''s terrifying."


    Lin Yuan sighed with admiration.


    "Steps Through Time and Space" is more like a "shortcut" for fusing space-time than an escape secret technique.


    It''s important to note that although the strongest ones have all fused space-time, aplishing this and exining it are twopletely different concepts.


    The space-time that the strongest ones have fused is their own space-time. Unless one has an incredible understanding of the essence of space-time, it''s impossible to exin it to others.


    Yet, the Mysterious Sovereign managed to do just that.


    "Could such a powerful being also disappear? Also die?" Lin Yuan found it difficult toprehend. The strongest ones have transcended the river of time¡ªif they are careful, it''s almost impossible for them to die.


    Especially someone as powerful as the Mysterious Sovereign, a being among the strongest.


    "In these twenty years, my understanding of time models has reached the 2,173rd model." Lin Yuan raised his hands, and threads of time power swirled and intertwined at his fingertips.


    To date, the pioneering schrs of human civilization have summarized a total of 2,173 time rule models.


    In other words, Lin Yuan had essentiallypleted the understanding and expression of time rules as summarized by those pioneering schrs of human civilization.


    The reason he says "essentially" is because he has yet to fullyprehend the final time rule model.


    "This time rule model involves time reversal, time stop, time eleration... All states of time gathered into one?"


    Lin Yuan carefully contemted, and inspiration continued to flood his mind.


    "If I can fullyprehend the rules of time while still at the ninth rank, allowing my inner world to be independent of the main universe, then during my final transformation into the tenth rank..."


    Lin Yuan continued to contemte while also thinking in his mind.


    For human civilization''s eighth-rank evolvers, they develop an inner world, but this inner world is not apletely independent world; many of its rules, especially the time rules, are shared with the main universe.


    To break away from this shared state, one must fullyprehend the rules of time and then integrate them into their inner world.


    Theoretically, the earlier oneprehends the rules of time and integrates them into their inner world, the greater the benefits when making major breakthroughs.


    A major breakthrough will cause the inner world to transform, and the transformation of apletely independent inner world is far greater than that of one still dependent on the main universe.


    If Lin Yuan were to fullyprehend the rules of time at the ninth rank and make his inner world "independent," he would have two opportunities for transformation when breaking through to the tenth rank and then to the eleventh rank.


    In this aspect, he would leave those who onlyprehended the rules of time at the eleventh rank far behind.


    An eleventh-rank being whoprehends the rules of time and integrates them into their inner world achieves "independence," but their inner world has not undergone the previous transformations, so its foundation is much weaker.


    When they attempt to ascend to the twelfth rank, striving for the ultimate refinement of their inner universe, the difficulty will naturally be much higher.


    "I should try my best."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. Human civilization''s records include examples of tenth-rank evolvers who fullyprehended the rules of time and then enhanced the foundation of their inner world when ascending to the eleventh rank.


    But a ninth-rank evolverprehending the rules of time? At least Lin Yuan hadn''t heard of such a case yet.


    A ninth-rank evolver can barely perceive slight time fluctuations. Expecting them to fullyprehend the rules of time might be too much to ask.


    "Just a little more, and I''ll be able toprehend this time model." Lin Yuan continued his contemtion.


    After a while, Lin Yuan stopped his contemtion.


    "I''ll make a trip to the Devil Jade Space and challenge the fifth level again." Lin Yuan used the Devil Jade Mark to descend into the Devil Jade Space.


    The fifth level of the ck Tower tests one''s understanding of the rules of time. ording to the humanoid stone statue Shen Ji, one must fullyprehend theplete rules of time to pass through.


    Lin Yuan was still some distance away from fullyprehending the rules of time, but attempting to challenge the fifth level, using the various time environments there, might help him fullyprehend the final time rule model.


    Although Xia Qin, the strongest one, told Lin Yuan to seek him out if he had any cultivation issues, Lin Yuan was still reluctant to bother the strongest one unless he was truly stuck at a bottleneck.


    Right now, Lin Yuan didn''t believe that the final time model was a bottleneck that would stop him for long.


    Whoosh.


    Before the Nine-Level ck Tower.


    The humanoid stone statue Shen Ji looked at Lin Yuan and asked tentatively, "Are you challenging the fifth level?"


    "Yes," Lin Yuan nodded.


    "Go on in." The humanoid stone statue Shen Ji thought for a moment before opening the ck Tower door to let Lin Yuan enter.


    Buzz.


    The fifth level of the ck Tower.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared.


    Crash!


    Time ripples spread, and various extreme time flows surged forward.


    If this had been thirty years ago, Lin Yuan wouldn''t have been able tost long. When he previously challenged the third and fourth levels, he tried the fifth level but withdrew instantly.


    But now?


    Having nearlyprehended all the time rule models, Lin Yuan might not yet have the hope of passing the fifth level, but at least he could walk halfway through.


    If he didn''t try to advance, he could evenst indefinitely.


    "Hmm, my understanding of the rules of time has advanced rapidly once again. I''m not far from fullyprehending them."


    Outside the ck Tower, the humanoid stone statue Shen Ji carefully observed, yet there was no trace of surprise in his heart.


    In just twenty or thirty years, Lin Yuan had reached such a height in the field of time rules. This would be astonishing even for an eleventh-rank being, let alone Lin Yuan, who was still a ninth-rank being.


    But having been in contact with Lin Yuan for so long, the humanoid stone statue Shen Ji had almost be ustomed to Lin Yuan constantly breaking various records and achieving miracles.


    Just as the humanoid stone statue Shen Ji was watching the events on the fifth level.


    Suddenly.


    The stone statue seemed to sense something.


    A trace of surprise appeared on his face.


    At the same time, he looked in another direction within the Devil Jade Space.


    In the misty haze.


    A trace of spiritual will descended.


    "I..." This trace of spiritual will manifested as a burly man, over three meters tall, who looked around excitedly.


    "Is this the Devil Jade Space?" The burly man carefully examined the surrounding mist.


    He came from arge evolutionary family in the northern star region of human civilization, an extraordinary genius renowned across dozens of star domains.


    Nearly a hundred years ago, human civilization had publicly revealed a portion of that body to certain geniuses. Since then, the burly man had begun toprehend an evolutionary path from that body.


    After countless efforts and a great deal of luck, the burly man finally managed toplete that evolutionary path, and a Devil Jade Mark was condensed in the depths of his soul.


    "The Goddess of Wisdom told me thatpleting the evolutionary path Iprehended would bring me to a mysterious space, where great opportunities await."


    The burly man was excited, and he soon walked deeper into the surrounding mist.


    Before long.


    The burly man arrived in front of a towering Nine-Level ck Tower.


    "Another one hase?" The humanoid stone statue Shen Ji nced at the burly man. In an instant, he knew everything about how the man had be an ordinary member of the Devil Jade Tower.


    "Just an ordinarypletion of some magic-based evolutionary path?" The humanoid stone statue Shen Ji shook his head internally.


    The gap between this and Lin Yuan''sprehension of 3,333 types of magic-based evolutionary paths was vast, like a chasm.


    Moreover, Lin Yuan was no longer just an ordinary member of the Devil Jade Tower; he was now a core member.


    "Senior." The burly man cautiously greeted the humanoid stone statue Shen Ji.


    "Here is some information about this ce," the humanoid stone statue Shen Ji raised his right hand and transmitted a vast amount of information into the burly man''s mind.


    "Ugh..." The burly man frowned, taking a moment to process the information before gradually rxing.


    "The Nine-Level ck Tower, first level, second level, third level..." The burly man looked up at the towering ck Tower before him, a trace of shock on his face.


    "Wait a moment, someone else is ahead of you," the humanoid stone statue Shen Ji nced at the burly man and casually said.


    "Someone else is ahead?" The burly man felt a bit disheartened. So he wasn''t the first to enter the Devil Jade Space?


    "Are they on the first or second level?" The burly man, having received the information from Shen Ji, knew the difficulty of passing each level.


    "Hmm?"


    "The fifth level?"


    The burly man looked up and noticed that the fifth level of the ck Tower was glowing faintly. He immediately realized that the person ahead of him was challenging that level.


    "The fifth level?" The burly man''s eyes widened. From the information Shen Ji had provided, he knew that to pass the fifth level, one must fullyprehend the rules of time.


    Fullyprehending the rules of time? In the burly man''s eyes, this was a domain that only ancient eleventh-rank beings could hope to master.


    "Which eleventh-rank being is challenging it?" The burly man was shaken. If not for the fact that only a trace of his spiritual will had descended here, he might have fled far away without hesitation.


    An eleventh-rank being... If this were the real world, just one thought from such a being could obliterate him billions of times. Who wouldn''t be terrified of being near such power?


    The Fifth Level of the ck Tower.


    Lin Yuan stood near the center, feeling the immense power of time surging around him.


    [Your Unrivaled Insight allows you to perceive various time fluctuations,prehending the 2,173rd time model.]


    In a trance, an illusory time rule model formed before Lin Yuan.


    This time rule model had a sense of perfection, seemingly epassing various changes in the rules of time.


    "So this is the final time rule model?"


    Lin Yuan closed his eyes. Afterprehending this critical point, Lin Yuan''s understanding of the rules of time had reached a certain height. From here on, he would need to forge his own path.


    Every strong being whoprehends the rules of time has a unique understanding of them.


    The rules of space are vast and boundless, epassing many "facets." Fullyprehending the rules of space means fully understanding only one of these facets.


    The same is true for the rules of time.


    "It''s time to leave."


    Lin Yuan looked at the remaining distance. He had not yet fullyprehended the rules of time, so he had no hope of passing through.


    Whoosh.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared outside the ck Tower.


    "Hmm?"


    "Someone else is here?"


    Lin Yuan immediately noticed the burly man''s presence.


    The spiritual will that had descended into the Devil Jade Space was shaped with a deliberately nondescript appearance, intending to conceal his true identity.


    "Greetings... Greetings, Senior," the burly man said respectfully, his scalp tingling. To him, the young man before him was an ancient eleventh-rank being, and he didn''t even dare look directly at him.


    "Hmm."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    He could tell that the burly man was human.


    That was good. If the burly man had been from another alien race, or even from a hostile group, Lin Yuan might have used his core member privileges to temporarily expel him.


    But since the burly man was human? As a fellow member of his race, Lin Yuan didn''t mind him attempting to challenge the Nine-Level ck Tower.


    The rewards obtained from the Nine-Level ck Tower depended entirely on the talent one disyed, and the rewards most trial participants received were not particrly valuable.


    "Senior."


    The burly man kept his head down, not daring to release even a trace of his perception, fearing it might displease the eleventh-rank being who had just challenged the fifth level.


    After a long time, the burly man finally gathered the courage to look up, only to find that the person in front of him had long since disappeared, leaving only the humanoid stone statue Shen Ji watching him.


    "Senior has left?" The burly man breathed a heavy sigh of relief. "Was Senior also human?"


    From the brief glimpse earlier, the burly man had also realized that Lin Yuan was human.


    "I wonder which eleventh-rank evolver from our human alliance that was?" The burly man''s shock hadn''tpletely subsided.


    Had he just been fortunate enough to see an eleventh-rank evolver today?


    Milky Way Main Star.


    Lin Yuan was in a good mood afterprehending all the time rule models.


    "Right."


    "Xia Qin, the strongest one, told me to find him afterprehending all the time rule models." Lin Yuan recalled Xia Qin''s instructions.


    He immediately connected to the virtual world.


    The Towering Evolution High Tower World.


    Xia Qin, the strongest one, was sitting on his throne when his expression suddenly changed slightly.


    "That little guy wants to see me. Could it be..." Xia Qin''s thoughts wereplex. How long has it been, and he''s alreadyprehended all the time rule models?


    Momentster.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared.


    "Strongest one." Lin Yuan bowed slightly.


    "You''veprehended all the time models?" Even though he had expected it, Xia Qin, the strongest one, still asked to confirm.


    "Yes," Lin Yuan nodded. "So I came to see you."


    "I see." Xia Qin nodded. On the surface, he appeared calm, but internally, he was quite unsettled.


    "Comprehending all the time models still leaves a gap before fully understanding the rules of time. I need to figure out exactly where you are in that gap."


    Xia Qinposed himself and spoke.


    "Alright," Lin Yuan nodded. He, too, wanted to know how far he was from fully understanding the rules of time.


    "In that case, I''ll have Nn spar with you, focusing solely on your understanding of the rules of time," Xia Qin suggested.


    The simplest way to gauge Lin Yuan''s position would be to spar, but Xia Qin, being a strongest one, naturally wouldn''t engage inbat with Lin Yuan.


    Instead, he intended to have Vice Tower Master Nn test Lin Yuan.


    As a tenth-rank ss A being who was close to fullyprehending all the time models, Vice Tower Master Nn was a suitable opponent to gauge Lin Yuan''s depth.


    Soon.


    Vice Tower Master Nn appeared next to Lin Yuan.


    "Strongest one." Vice Tower Master Nn bowed slightly to Xia Qin, the strongest one, a look of puzzlement on his face.


    "Nn, I want you to spar with the Milky Way Star Lord, focusing solely on your understanding of the rules of time," Xia Qin, the strongest one, instructed directly.


    "Spar?"


    "With the Milky Way Star Lord?"


    Vice Tower Master Nn was taken aback.


    He was a ss A tenth-rank being, and he was being asked to spar with the ninth-rank Milky Way Star Lord?


    Isn''t this bullying? No matter how powerful the Milky Way Star Lord is, no matter how exceptional he is at the ninth rank, he''s still a ninth-rank being. What difference does it make if he''s developed a few millionyers of space?


    And the strongest one''s instructions were to spar purely based on their understanding of the rules of time, meaning the Milky Way Star Lord wouldn''t even be able to use his most proficient spaceyers.


    This... This is too much!


    Vice Tower Master Nn almost felt sorry for Lin Yuan.


    "What is the strongest one thinking?" Vice Tower Master Nn wondered. "Could it be that he thinks the Milky Way Star Lord''s cultivation has been too smooth, so he wants to give him some setbacks and hardships, and he''s asking me to toughen him up?"


    ...

 Chapter 347

    "Tower Master, how about we choose someone else?" Deputy Tower Master Nn nced at Lin Yuan, who was standing aside, hesitated for a moment, and spoke in a low voice.


    He still couldn''t bring himself to act.


    Moreover, Deputy Tower Master Nn felt that there was no need for Strongest One Xia Qin to specifically give the Milky Way Star Lord an additional setback.


    As the strongest genius in the history of human civilization, it was only natural to be unstoppable.


    "It will be you."


    "None of the others are suitable."


    Strongest One Xia Qin shook his head.


    "Alright."


    Deputy Tower Master Nn nodded.The will of the Strongest One cannot be disobeyed, even if he believed that the Strongest One''s decision was wed.


    But when it needs to be followed, it must be followed.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, if you can''t hold onter, remember to surrender," Deputy Tower Master Nn kindly reminded.


    Although Strongest One Xia Qin limited the two to only spar within the rules of time, Deputy Tower Master Nn believed that he was only one step away fromprehending all time models.


    The Milky Way Star Lord, merely at the ninth rank, even found it difficult to perceive the fluctuations of time. What could he achieve in the rules of time?


    Under the crushing weight of the rules, if the Milky Way Star Lord surrendered in time, he could at least suffer less torment.


    "I understand." Lin Yuan''s expression grew slightly serious.


    Deputy Tower Master Nn''s words put some pressure on Lin Yuan.


    After all, it was the first time Lin Yuan had seen Deputy Tower Master Nn take action, back when he was still at the seventh rank.


    At that time, Deputy Tower Master Nn stood outside the ck Abyss Secret Realm and, with his own power, suppressed the entire ck Abyss n so that they dared not resist.


    If it weren''t for the arrival of the strong members of the Insect Race in the end, the entire ck Abyss n would have been wiped out by Deputy Tower Master Nn.


    "Let''s begin."


    Strongest One Xia Qin waved his right hand.


    Lin Yuan and Deputy Tower Master Nn immediately felt the world shift around them.


    The next moment, they found themselves beneath a deste starry sky.


    For Strongest One Xia Qin, relocating the two to a virtual ''arena'' world was merely a thought.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, you make the first move," Deputy Tower Master Nn offered graciously.


    If it were a battle against an alien race, he would naturally strike first, taking no chances.


    But with Lin Yuan?


    First, this was just a sparring match, far from a life-and-death struggle, so it was only proper for him, as a senior, to give way a bit.


    Second, Deputy Tower Master Nn was confident of his victory.


    How could a tenth-rank lose to a ninth-rank? Especially when he was an A-grade tenth-rank, and a strong one at that.


    With such a significant gap in strength, it would feel almost shameful for Deputy Tower Master Nn to strike first.


    If he was going to ''bully the weak,'' at least let the other side have a chance to fight back.


    "Remember, use all your strength."


    "This may be your only chance to strike," Deputy Tower Master Nn reminded calmly.


    A battle within the realm of time rules oftensted only a moment, as the collision of different time rules often left the weaker side with no chance to resist.


    Of course, realbat has many variables, such as using other means.


    Being weaker in time rules didn''t mean being weaker in other areas.


    But Strongest One Xia Qin had set the rule that only time rules could be used in this sparring match.


    This meant the fight would notst long; a simple sh of time domains rarely resulted in a stalemate.


    This was why Deputy Tower Master Nn felt that Strongest One Xia Qin intentionally wanted to give the Milky Way Star Lord a setback.


    The rules were so strict that it seemed almost as if they were tailor-made for him.


    "Alright," Lin Yuan nodded, "I will go all out."


    "Hmm," Deputy Tower Master Nn nodded in satisfaction.


    Only when the Milky Way Star Lord went all out and realized he was no match, as if ying with toys in the realm of time rules, would the intended lesson be learned.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, I may not be as good as you in spatial domain creation, but in time?" Deputy Tower Master Nn thought leisurely.


    Suddenly, he noticed that Lin Yuan, who had been standing in the distance, had disappeared.


    "Hmm?"


    Deputy Tower Master Nn immediately sensed something was wrong.


    "Has the flow of time... changed?" His expression turned serious.


    With a swift motion, Deputy Tower Master Nn released a surge of time fluctuations, attempting to disrupt the surrounding time waves.


    "Break it!"


    Deputy Tower Master Nn, realizing something, fully activated his understanding of time rules to break free from the various time traps that had enveloped him.


    Outside.


    Lin Yuan stood quietly, a half-meter-sized crystal ball made entirely of time fluctuations floating before him.


    Inside the crystal ball, Deputy Tower Master Nn struggled continuously, but ultimately, like being trapped in a swamp, he was enveloped byyers of time traps and couldn''t break free.


    Afterprehending all the time models, Lin Yuan had developed several secret techniques in the realm of time rules through continuousbination of various time models.


    One of these was the Time Prison, one of Lin Yuan''s proudest creations. It involved the fusion of 1,337 time models, creating an endless time corridor.


    These time corridors then formed a Time Prison.


    Any life trapped in the Time Prison, if theirprehension of time rules was not superior to Lin Yuan''s, would be unable to perceive their own flow of time, bingpletely at his mercy.


    After all, the amount of time experienced by a life trapped in the Time Prison was entirely controlled by Lin Yuan.


    With a single thought, he could make the other party experience a day while the outside world experienced a year, or a year while the outside world experienced a day.


    If that''s not being yed with, what is?


    Of course, there were ways to break it by force.


    Even if Deputy Tower Master Nn''s understanding of time was inferior to Lin Yuan''s, if he used other means besides time rules, he could still break free.


    Time rules are not invincible; it ultimately depends on the overall foundation of both sides.


    But there is no doubt that the higher one''sprehension of time rules, the more control they have. For example, if Lin Yuan were to engage in a full battle with Deputy Tower Master Nn, not limited to the realm of time rules, even if he couldn''t win, he could at least retreat safely with the help of time rules.


    "Time Prison?"


    High above the virtual ''arena'' world, Strongest One Xia Qin was also observing the time crystal ball floating before Lin Yuan.


    Inside the crystal ball, Deputy Tower Master Nn was struggling desperately to break free, but from start to finish, the crystal ball remained as stable as a mountain, without a single shake.


    "This kind of time technique,bining over a thousand time models, has a solid effect of trapping and stabilizing the opponent. It''s quite profound, even at the tenth rank."


    Strongest One Xia Qin thought to himself, at the same time roughly gauging Lin Yuan''s understanding of time rules.


    Without Deputy Tower Master Nn, merely using this time technique wouldn''t have allowed the full disy of the Time Prison''s capabilities against an opponent.


    But with Deputy Tower Master Nn continuously testing within the Time Prison, Strongest One Xia Qin could see much more of the essence.


    "Alright."


    "That''s enough, stop now."


    Strongest One Xia Qin observed for a while longer before speaking.


    Immediately.


    The world changed again, and Lin Yuan returned to Strongest One Xia Qin''s personal world.


    In front of him, the time crystal ball was still floating, and inside, Deputy Tower Master Nn had stopped struggling, likely realizing that with just his understanding of time rules, he couldn''t break free.


    With a thought.


    The time crystal ball in front of Lin Yuan copsed.


    Deputy Tower Master Nn''s figure grewrger and finally reappeared in the outside world.


    "Am I out?"


    Deputy Tower Master Nn felt as if a lifetime had passed, though the battle hadsted only a few dozen breaths.


    But within the Time Prison, he had spent over ten minutes.


    And in those ten minutes, Deputy Tower Master Nn finally understood that falling into therge Time Prison was most likely the work of the Milky Way Star Lord.


    Since Strongest One Xia Qin had him spar with the Milky Way Star Lord, during the spar, his opponent could only be the Milky Way Star Lord.


    No matter how unbelievable it was, Deputy Tower Master Nn could not question the Strongest One.


    "Milky Way Star Lord..." Deputy Tower Master Nn looked at Lin Yuan, his gazeplex.


    After spending over ten minutes in the Time Prison, Deputy Tower Master Nn had fully witnessed Lin Yuan''s methods in the realm of time rules.


    They absolutely surpassed his own. Even if he hadn''t fullyprehended the time rules, he had at least understood all the time rule models summarized by human civilization.


    This Milky Way Star Lord, with only ninth-rank strength, had already surpassed him, a veteran A-grade tenth-rank, in the realm of time rules.


    Deputy Tower Master Nn nced at the Strongest One and suddenly realized that Strongest One Xia Qin hadn''t arranged the spar to temper the Milky Way Star Lord.


    Instead, he had used Nn as a test subject to gauge the Milky Way Star Lord''s standing in the realm of time rules.


    "Thank you for letting me win," Lin Yuan cupped his hands and smiled.


    He had no idea that Deputy Tower Master Nn hadn''t evenprehended the time rule models. In Lin Yuan''s mind, Nn had a ''very strong'' filter.


    And because Deputy Tower Master Nn had repeatedly urged him to go all out before the match, Lin Yuan hadn''t given him any chance to resist, directly suppressing him with the Time Prison.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, to have such a deep understanding of time rules at the ninth rank, I ampletely convinced of my defeat." Deputy Tower Master Nn sighed.


    He understood that with Lin Yuan''s rapid growth, the gap between them in time rules would only widen in the future.


    "Alright."


    "Nn, you may leave now."


    On his throne, Strongest One Xia Qin spoke, ncing at Deputy Tower Master Nn.


    "Yes."


    Deputy Tower Master Nn immediately bowed and disappeared from the spot.


    Having been defeated by this junior Lin Yuan, even though he could face the difference in their abilities, Deputy Tower Master Nn still felt a bit embarrassed to stay any longer.


    After Nn left, only Lin Yuan and Strongest One Xia Qin remained.


    "Strongest One," Lin Yuan slightly bowed.


    "You monster," Strongest One Xia Qin shook his head slightly.


    Lin Yuan''sprehension of time rules was nothing to him.


    But it depends on who we''re talking about. In the case of an eleventh-rank lifeform, it would be considered normal; half of the eleventh-rank evolvers of human civilization hadprehended all time rule models.


    However, for a tenth-rank lifeform, it was extremely rare, as Deputy Tower Master Nn, an A-grade tenth-rank, had not achieved it.


    But for a ninth-rank lifeform? Strongest One Xia Qin had never heard of such a case, especially when Lin Yuan''s understanding of time rules wasn''t just limited toprehending all the time models.


    "Monster?"


    Lin Yuan blinked. To be called a monster by a Strongest One could be considered an ''honor,'' right?


    "Strongest One, you asked me toe here after Iprehended the time rule models. Is there some secret behind this?" Lin Yuan directly voiced his doubts.


    There was no need to be coy with a Strongest One; if he wanted to know something, he should just ask.


    "Indeed, there is a secret," Strongest One Xia Qin nodded.


    If Lin Yuan had notprehended all the time models, or if he was still far from fully understanding time rules afterprehending all the models, Strongest One Xia Qin wouldn''t have said anything more.


    But at this moment, Lin Yuan''s performance had given Strongest One Xia Qin hope¡ª


    The hope that Lin Yuan couldprehend time rules at the ninth rank.


    "You should know that the earlier youprehend time rules and allow your inner world to be ''independent,'' the greater the benefits."


    Strongest One Xia Qin began.


    "Yes."


    "I am aware of this."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    In the history of human civilization, there had asionally been geniuses whoprehended time rules at the tenth rank.


    This was how Lin Yuan knew thatprehending time rules at the tenth rank, before advancing to the eleventh rank, brought significantly greater benefits, and that the inner world would undergo a transformation.


    As forprehending time rules at the ninth rank? There were no historical cases in human civilization, but that didn''t stop Lin Yuan from specting.


    Ifprehending time rules at the tenth rank could allow for an additional transformation of the inner world when advancing to the eleventh rank, thenprehending them at the ninth rank would mean an additional two transformations upon advancing to the tenth and eleventh ranks, right?


    "But do you know what specific benefits there are? Why does the inner world undergo a transformation?"


    Strongest One Xia Qin smiled and asked.


    "I don''t know," Lin Yuan shook his head.


    He only knew that there were benefits, but not what they were specifically.


    The information he had seen didn''t detail it, likely because it was a ssified secret of human civilization.


    Even with eighth-level citizen ess, he couldn''t view it all.


    "This requires an exnation of the differences when a tenth-rank evolver makes a major breakthrough to the eleventh rank, depending on whether their inner world is ''independent'' or not."


    Strongest One Xia Qin paused for a moment before continuing:


    "If a tenth-rank evolver has notprehended time rules, their inner worldcks the pir of time and must rely on the main universe, effectively bing a subsidiary world of the main universe."


    "When a subsidiary world undergoes a major breakthrough, itmunicates with the origin ocean of the main universe. At that time, the main universe will actively open the entrance to the origin ocean, pouring in arge amount of origin power to help the inner world grow rapidly."


    "But if the inner world has already be ''independent,'' with both time and space pirs, it can be considered an ''independent'' world."


    "Even if this ''independent'' world is insignificantpared to the main universe, it is still an ''independent'' world, theoretically on the same level as the main universe."


    "It has its own separate pirs of time and space."


    "Therefore, when such an ''independent'' world undergoes a major breakthrough, it no longer receives the origin power of the main universe but rather the origin power of the chaotic void."


    Strongest One Xia Qin looked at Lin Yuan.


    "I see," Lin Yuan''s expression showed that he was deep in thought.


    The chaotic void is undoubtedly far vaster than the universe, and its origin power is naturally more precious.


    If ranked from high to low, it would certainly be chaotic void > universe > subsidiary world.


    Once a subsidiary world bes independent in terms of time and space, it would be on par with the universe, jointly receiving the gifts of the chaotic void.


    Typically, most strong individuals can only receive the gifts of the chaotic void when advancing to the eleventh rank and beyond.


    Becauseprehending time rules generally happens at this level.


    Receiving the gifts and transformations that are usually only avable to those advancing to the ultimate level, but doing so at the tenth rank, how significant would the benefit be?


    Moreover, if Lin Yuanprehended time rules at the ninth rank, he would receive the gifts of the chaotic void at the ninth rank.


    "The origin power infused by the chaotic void will greatly stabilize the inner world and enhance its essence, pushing it toward the transformation into an inner universe."


    "Of course, even if youprehend time rules and make your inner world independent, when you break through to the eleventh rank, due to your own level and strength, you won''t be able to fully transform your inner world into an inner universe in one go."


    "But the foundation will be there, and when you eventually break through to the ultimate level, the difficulty in the inner world''s transformation will be significantly reduced."


    Strongest One Xia Qin exined slowly.


    This essentially spreads out the pressure of future breakthroughs to the ultimate level, increasing the chances of advancing to the twelfth rank.


    So far, Lin Yuan had only heard of two methods to increase the probability of advancing to the ultimate level.


    One was to spread one''s own evolutionary path.


    The other was toprehend chaotic rules.


    As for the fusion of time and space rules? That''s just the prerequisite for advancing to the ultimate level.


    Without achieving time-space fusion, one couldn''t even reach the threshold for the ultimate level.


    "Strongest One Xia Qin, I may not necessarily be able toprehend time rules at the ninth rank," Lin Yuan thought for a moment before speaking.


    Even with Unrivaled Insight and treasures like the microcosm for reference, Lin Yuan was only somewhat confident in his ability toprehend time rules at the ninth rank.


    As for certainty? He didn''t have much.


    Lin Yuan had even prepared himself toprehend time rules at the tenth rank.


    It should be noted thatprehending time rules is even more difficult than advancing to the eleventh rank.


    Many eleventh-rank evolvers have notprehended time rules.


    Lin Yuan dared not guarantee that he could do so at the ninth rank.


    If he failed, wouldn''t he be pping himself in the face?


    "I know you''re not certain ofprehending them," Strongest One Xia Qin wasn''t surprised at all.


    Unless they are innate time beings, who could guarantee they couldprehend time rules?


    "That''s why I asked you to find me afterprehending all the time rule models. Besides gauging your general understanding of time rules, I also wanted to give you a push."


    Strongest One Xia Qin smiled as he looked at Lin Yuan.


    "A push?" Lin Yuan was taken aback.


    Comprehending time rules is an extremely personal matter.


    Everyone''s understanding of time rules is different, and it cannot be forcibly taught.


    Even a wondrous object like a microcosm could only reduce the difficulty ofprehending time rules.


    As for pushing someone forward? Lin Yuan had never considered that possibility.


    The various treasures and techniques left behind by the Devil Jade Tower Master and His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign had never mentioned pushing someone toprehend time rules.


    "Yes."


    "Next, I''m going to take you to see something..."


    Strongest One Xia Qin''s tone was calm as he continued:


    "The full view of the River of Time."

 Chapter 348

    "Full view of the River of Time?"


    Lin Yuan looked at Strongest One Xia Qin, who was seated on the throne.


    The chaotic void, where universes float, and the vast power of time surges like a river, sweeping through everything.


    Everything is within the River of Time, and except for the Strongest Ones who can step out of it, all life forms must endure the ''washing'' of the River of Time.


    This ''washing'' refers to the lifespan limit; even those who haveprehended the rules of time can only temporarily leap out of the River of Time, but they will eventually fall back in and still face death from old age.


    Lin Yuan had always thought that the River of Time was a conceptual metaphor, but now that Strongest One Xia Qin mentioned taking him to see the full view of the River of Time, he was somewhat astonished.


    The River of Time? Is there really a full view?


    "Everyone''s understanding of the rules of time is different. My understanding of the rules of time may not apply to you."


    "Given that, I''ll take you to see the River of Time with your own eyes, and whatever you gain from it will be up to you."Strongest One Xia Qin smiled faintly.


    The next moment.


    Before Lin Yuan could respond, he felt a part of his soul suddenly break free from some kind of shackle, arriving in a mysterious space.


    "This isn''t the main universe anymore?"


    Lin Yuan, who had a deep understanding of the rules of time, was very sure that this mysterious space he had arrived in was significantly different from the main universe, like a small fish leaving a river. In this space, his spiritual sense could no longer feel any fluctuations of time rules.


    Lin Yuan barely managed to look around and noticed countless ''streams'' flowing below.


    These ''streams'' were formed by an extremely pure concentration of time energy, surging from the past to the future, as if nothing could stop them.


    "Is this the River of Time?"


    Lin Yuan was shocked. He could vaguely see different ''fish'' swimming deep within the river.


    Some of the fish were veryrge, almost spanning half the width of the river, while others were very small, barely noticeable.


    But all these ''fish'' were within Lin Yuan''s observation, while the fish themselves didn''t seem to notice Lin Yuan''s gaze at all.


    It was as if beings in a two-dimensional world were unable to perceive the observation of beings outside their world, and the ''fish'' in the river were the same.


    "The River of Time."


    "This is the River of Time."


    Lin Yuan was extremely excited, frantically watching the scenes before him.


    [Your insight is unrivaled; observing the River of Time has rapidly enhanced your understanding of time rules.]


    [Your insight is unrivaled; observing the River of Time has rapidly enhanced your understanding of time rules.]


    [Your insight is unrivaled; observing the River of Time has rapidly enhanced your understanding of time rules.]


    For a moment, arge amount of inspiration rted to time rules flooded his mind.


    Compared to the time rules within the microcosm, this River of Time was immeasurably more vast and epassed countless lives.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan attempted to look upstream along the River of Time and saw that asionally, a few ''big fish'' would leap from the surging surface.


    These ''big fish'' only maintained themselves above the river for a few moments before falling back in, far less impressive than Lin Yuan''s observation from an overlooking perspective.


    "Those ''big fish'' should be the beings who haveprehended the rules of time. They can leap out of the water temporarily, but only briefly."


    Lin Yuan silently thought to himself.


    After watching the past flow of the River of Time for a while, Lin Yuan turned his gaze to the direction in which the river was flowing¡ªthe future.


    "Can''t see clearly." Lin Yuan wasn''t surprised.


    The past is set; the future is uncertain.


    Every moment can give rise to different futures.


    Even the Strongest Ones, who can travel upstream to past times, cannot travel downstream to the distant future.


    If a Strongest One dared to do so, they would likely get lost in the infinite timelines, never able to return to the present.


    Lin Yuan continued to observe the River of Time.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan noticed the towering figure standing beside him.


    At this moment, he was standing on the riverbank of the River of Time, relying on the protection of this towering figure.


    And this towering figure was Strongest One Xia Qin.


    No one below the level of a Strongest One can step out of the River of Time and onto the ''riverbank.'' This is aw, just like how those who have died in the past are gone forever.


    To break thisw, even a Strongest One must pay a price.


    If a Strongest One wants to resurrect a life from the past, they must resist the bacsh from the universe.


    Now that Strongest One Xia Qin had brought him to the ''riverbank,'' he must have paid a simr price.


    Lin Yuan had a feeling that the price Strongest One Xia Qin had to pay might be far more severe than resurrecting a deceased life.


    Otherwise, why had he never heard of a Strongest One being able to take others out of the River of Time? After all, the fact that Strongest Ones can resurrect the dead is known to almost all powerful evolvers.


    But bringing someone out of the River of Time? Lin Yuan had never heard of it until now.


    Moreover, Strongest One Xia Qin had repeatedly tested Lin Yuan, even going so far as to have Deputy Tower Master Nn test the general level of Lin Yuan''s mastery of time rules.


    All of this indicated that taking someone out of the River of Time required even a Strongest One to consider it carefully.


    Lin Yuan continued observing everything about the River of Time, shifting his gaze to other positions along the ''riverbank.''


    Soon, Lin Yuan saw another towering figure. This figure was burly, and just by standing there, he seemed to radiate endless power, a force so great it could shatter everything.


    "Strongest One Gu Li?" Lin Yuan had never seen this Strongest One of human civilization in person, but he had a strong feeling that this was indeed Strongest One Gu Li.


    And this towering, burly figure seemed to sense Lin Yuan''s gaze, lowering his head and looking back with a hint of goodwill.


    Lin Yuan continued to look further away.


    The towering figures of one Strongest One after another from human civilization appeared.


    Strongest One Yu Die, Strongest One Xu Shen, and others.


    All of these Strongest Ones were incredibly majestic as they stood on the riverbank of the River of Time.


    Soon.


    Lin Yuan saw a tenth Strongest One.


    This Strongest One wasn''t from human civilization, his entire body shrouded in a dark mist. Lin Yuan had only observed him for a moment before this Strongest One noticed him.


    "Hmph!"


    A faint, disdainful snort echoed, and Lin Yuan''s expression changed slightly. At that moment, the Strongest One Xia Qin beside him raised his right hand, and the snort disappearedpletely.


    "That Strongest One harbors a great deal of malice towards me."


    Lin Yuan didn''t dare continue observing and instead turned his gaze to other ces.


    The towering figure shrouded in the dark mist stood on the riverbank of the River of Time, coldly staring at Strongest One Xia Qin in the distance.


    "Paying such a high price to forcibly take an ant who hasn''t evenprehended the time rules out of the River of Time, utterly foolish." The towering figure thought silently.


    The price for such an action was terrifying.


    Almost every moment of it wasparable to the bacsh from the universe that would be incurred by resurrecting ten or even dozens of eleventh-rank beings.


    Strongest One Xia Qin was doing this at the risk of being unable to maintain his peakbat power for a significant time in the future.


    "Human civilization..." The towering figure''s thoughts fluctuated.


    The rise of human civilization is the fastest among all peak races.


    The primary reason for this is the unity among their people, to the point that even Strongest Ones are willing to pay some price to help a talented junior.


    This is something unimaginable for other Strongest Ones, risking a price just to help a life below the ultimate level?


    Is it worth it?


    For the vast majority of Strongest Ones, the race is just a subsidiary, and the self is everything.


    Lin Yuan''s spiritual sense continued to observe further away.


    Naturally, he saw one towering figure after another, symbolizing the Strongest Ones.


    Some of these figures were indifferent to Lin Yuan''s gaze, some showed goodwill, while most were dissatisfied, but all were blocked by Strongest One Xia Qin.


    As Lin Yuan continued to observe, hisprehension of time rules rapidly increased at an rming rate. Here, at the River of Time, the rules of time were at their most direct.


    Ordinarily, a lifeform qualified to overlook the River of Time would have alreadyprehended the rules of time, and those unqualified to step out of the River of Time would neverprehend them.


    But with Strongest One Xia Qin''s help, Lin Yuan had broken this iron rule.


    Time slowly passed.


    He didn''t know how much time had passed.


    "It''s about time. You should return."


    Strongest One Xia Qin''s voice echoed, and Lin Yuan felt his spiritual sense quickly begin to fade.


    "Hmm?"


    On the Milky Way Main Star, Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.


    "I''m back?"


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.


    Who would have thought that he had just overlooked the full view of the River of Time, and with the body of a ninth-rank being, he had broken free from the River of Time''s constraints. Even if it was only temporary, it was an unprecedented opportunity.


    "I also saw the true forms of many Strongest Ones"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. He had never clearly understood what a Strongest One really was before. Even with the scenes of Strongest Ones fighting onrge battlefields, Lin Yuan had always found it difficult toprehend.


    The level involved in the battles between Strongest Ones was too high, and without reaching that level, it was impossible to fully understand.


    "Strongest One Xia Qin''s voice seemed a bit weak when he sent me back?" Lin Yuan didn''t know how much of a price the Strongest One had paid to take him out of the River of Time.


    But judging by that slightly weary tone, Lin Yuan knew the price must have been significant.


    "I wonder if I''ll be able to be a Strongest One." Lin Yuan reflected on the feeling of breaking free from the River of Time, experiencing an unprecedented sense of freedom.


    Even with Lin Yuan''s substantial foundation, there was no guarantee that he could be a Strongest One.


    Evenprehending the legendary chaotic rules would only greatly aid in bing a Strongest One.


    Whether he could ultimately be one was another matter.


    The birth of every Strongest One is not a certain event.


    "Now, my understanding of the rules of time..." Lin Yuan carefully felt the changes within himself.


    After taking a trip to the ''riverbank'' of the River of Time, Lin Yuan gained a new understanding of the rules of time, an understandingpletely different from before, one that only those who had personally seen the full view of the River of Time could possibly have.


    "Time."


    "How wonderful."


    Lin Yuan extended his hands, and subtle fluctuations of time seemed to ripple as he lightly stirred them, creating faint time ripples.


    "I''m not far from fullyprehending the rules of time now." Lin Yuan took a deep breath, thinking to himself.


    Normally, no evolver would dare say they were certain toprehend the rules of time before they actually did so.


    Because the rules of time are too vast, and until one reaches that point, no one can be sure if they can fullyprehend them.


    But Lin Yuan was different; he had seen the full view of the River of Time and had a concrete understanding of both the past and future of the River of Time.


    Thus, hisprehension of the rules of time was much clearer than that of other beings who were also working on understanding them.


    He knew exactly where he was and approximately where the endpoint was.


    "Comprehending the rules of time at the ninth rank and making my inner world ''independent,'' so that when I break through to the tenth rank, I can receive the origin infusion from the chaotic void..."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts surged.


    The reason Strongest One Xia Qin paid the price to take Lin Yuan out of the River of Time and give him a push inprehending the rules of time was to help Lin Yuan fullyprehend the rules of time before advancing to the tenth rank so that he could draw the origin of the chaotic void into his inner world.


    The fact that a Strongest One would go to such lengths made Lin Yuan even more eager.


    "Now, the most important task is to fullyprehend the rules of time."


    Lin Yuan focused his thoughts. With Strongest One Xia Qin giving him such a push, if he still couldn''t fullyprehend the rules of time at the ninth rank, Lin Yuan would indeed feel a bit ashamed.


    "At my current speed ofprehending the rules of time, I should be able to fullyprehend them within thirty years."


    Lin Yuan evaluated himself and gained an extremely urate understanding.


    "Thirty years at most."


    Lin Yuan assessed the transformation level of his inner world and immediately had a clear sense of it.


    For any ninth- or tenth-rank evolver, thirty years is almost nothing. The fact that Lin Yuan could fullyprehend the rules of time in such a short period was truly astonishing.


    It should be noted that before seeing the full view of the River of Time, Lin Yuan had already nned to wait until the tenth rank to fullyprehend the rules of time.


    Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    The Yang Primordial Spirit was cultivating one of the three major protective secret techniques of the Mysterious Emperor Lineage, <em>Steps of Space and Time.</em>


    Lin Yuan''s true form and primordial spirit had different focuses. Currently, his true form mainly focused onprehending the rules of time.


    As for the other two primordial spirits, they focused onprehending various secret techniques, evolution paths, and more.


    Why not have the two primordial spirits join the true form inprehending the rules of time?


    Lin Yuan had tried that, but it didn''t help much, and the efficiency wasn''t significantly improved.


    The true formprehended the rules of time, while the two primordial spiritsprehended various secret techniques and evolution paths. The two could influence each other.


    For example, whenprehending the <em>Steps of Space and Time,</em> it wasmon to suddenly gain insight into the essence of the rules of time, which would then feed back into theprehension of time rules.


    Conversely, the deeper the understanding of the essence of time rules, the more it would help inprehending the <em>Steps of Space and Time.</em>


    "After seeing the full view of the River of Time, I''ve gained a deeper understanding of this secret technique." Lin Yuan took a step forward and instantly appeared on the other side of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, his expression thoughtful.


    <em>Steps of Space and Time</em> is named after ''space and time,'' so it naturally involves the rules of time.


    In fact, the reason why <em>Steps of Space and Time</em> allowed Lin Yuan to reach millions of light-years in a single step is due to the incredible application of time rules. The power unleashed by the fusion of space and time exceeds Lin Yuan''s imagination.


    In the deepest part of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    A six-armed figure sat cross-legged.


    As the consciousness of the secret realm, nothing within the secret realm could escape his control. However, Lin Yuan had now refined the core of the secret realm, giving him life and death power over the six-armed figure.


    "How has the master advanced so much in the <em>Steps of Space and Time</em>?" The six-armed figure was dumbfounded as he watched Lin Yuan repeatedly appear in different ces within the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    He clearly sensed that Lin Yuan''s crossing of vast distances wasn''t relying on his ''authority'' within the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm but rather the instantaneous teleportation achieved through <em>Steps of Space and Time.</em>


    But this was too incredible, wasn''t it?


    To reach such a level with <em>Steps of Space and Time,</em> even without fullyprehending the rules of time, he must be very close.


    But the new master of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm was only at the ninth-rank life level.


    A ninth-rank life, so close to fullyprehending the rules of time.


    How would those tenth- and eleventh-rank beings react?


    The six-armed figure found it all unfathomable.


    Lin Yuan''s rapid progress in the secret technique Mysterious Emperor <em>Strike</em> was already remarkable.


    After all, some people are particrly good at cultivating certain secret techniques, but with <em>Steps of Space and Time?</em>


    Advancement in this secret technique relies on solid ruleprehension, with no shortcuts or tricks.


    "His Majesty once said that the earlier the rules of time areprehended, the better. Comprehending the rules of time at the tenth rank is already an extremely rare feat in the chaotic void."


    "But judging by the master''s current progress, he is very likely toprehend the rules of time at the ninth rank."


    The six-armed figure suddenly recalled some of the things that His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign had said.


    ording to His Majesty, aside from a few innate time beings,prehending the rules of time at the tenth rank is already a remarkable achievement for postnatal beings.


    As for the ninth rank? The six-armed figure had never heard His Majesty mention such a possibility, and he wasn''t sure if it was simply impossible or if even His Majesty hadn''t predicted it.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    Lin Yuan held the microcosm in his hand, continuouslyprehending the time rules operating within it.


    The time rules in the microcosm were far from forming a River of Time, merely a rtivelyplete segment of the rules.


    However, it still significantly reduced the difficulty of Lin Yuan''sprehension of the rules of time.


    "In this microcosm, all the rules, including time rules and space rules, form a stable bnce, which is the most precious aspect."


    Lin Yuan observed every detail within the microcosm, silently thinking to himself.


    As Lin Yuan prepared to continueparing the time rules within the microcosm with his understanding of time rules,


    Suddenly.


    At that moment.


    Lin Yuan''s brow furrowed slightly.


    "Someone is looking for me?"


    Lin Yuan did not stop his cultivation but instead diverted a portion of his mind to connect to the virtual world.

    Lin Yuan sat there, and an old man with a white beard appeared out of thin air.


    "Greetings, Milky Way Star Lord."


    A trace of urgency shed across the old man''s face, but he still respectfully greeted Lin Yuan.


    He knew very well that the young man in front of him was the legendary Milky Way Star Lord.


    Ordinary ninth- or tenth-rank evolvers might not even be able to meet him if they sought an audience.


    As a mere intelligent life form, the fact that he had requested to see the Milky Way Star Lord and had been granted permission was already a favor from past associations.


    But favors only go so far, and if he didn''t understand his ce, this might be the end of it."Aren''t you the intelligent life form that followed Fang Qing?" Lin Yuan nced at the old man with a calm tone.


    Fang Qing was a friend Lin Yuan had made when he was still on Cann Star.


    Before breaking through the sixth rank, Lin Yuan had to hide his identity while facing the public pressure.


    Fang Qing had decisively stood by Lin Yuan''s side.


    Although, in the grand scheme of things, whether or not Fang Qing had stood up didn''t make much difference to Lin Yuan.


    But in the end, Fang Qing had helped him.


    Later, when Lin Yuan revealed his identity and became the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage, he summoned Fang Qing to the Thirteenth Mountain and entrusted him with important responsibilities, repaying the favor.


    It''s worth noting that under normal circumstances, with Fang Qing''s development, serving the Red Kun Lineage for thousands or even tens of thousands of years would at most make him a core member.


    However, bing Lin Yuan''s trusted aide and managing the Thirteenth Mountain put him in a position of power and influence, making him the highest-ranking member of the Red Kun Lineage besides the Star Lord and the Thirteen Peak Masters.


    Moreover, as Lin Yuan''s strength increased, the status of the Thirteenth Mountain in the Red Kun Lineage rose ordingly.


    Especially for Fang Qing, who had stood up for the Milky Way Star Lord¡ªthis alone made the Peak Masters treat him with great respect.


    After Lin Yuan took charge of the Milky Way Star Domain, he paid little attention to the Red Kun main star.


    He had only recently heard that Fang Qing had crossed into the sixth rank, bing a well-known evolver.


    Fang Qing''s evolution path was the ''Ancient God'' path.


    This path was highly risky, with even the slightest mistake leading to ''Ancient God'' corruption.


    But simrly, if one could sessfully cultivate it, the speed of cultivation would be very fast,parable to those with bloodline-based evolution paths. ?


    After all, the essence of the Ancient God evolution path was to simte an Ancient God, and most Ancient Gods in the depths of the universe were eleventh-rank beings.


    With such powerful beings as the model, there were hardly any bottlenecks in the early stages of cultivation.


    As long as one could withstand the corruption of the Ancient God, it would be smooth sailing.


    As the steward of the Thirteenth Mountain of the Red Kun Lineage, Fang Qing enjoyed excellent treatment and benefits.


    Coupled with the unique nature of the Ancient God evolution path, he had reached the sixth rank in less than a hundred years.


    "Yes, Milky Way Star Lord."


    "My master is indeed Fang Qing."


    The old man with the white beard quickly said, "Fang Qing... something has happened to him."


    The old man spoke quickly.


    "Something happened to Fang Qing?"


    Lin Yuan frowned.


    Anyone who inquired even slightly within human civilization would know about Fang Qing''s rtionship with him.


    Even if Fang Qing had offended someone andmitted an unforgivable crime, they would contact Lin Yuan first.


    So the reason for Fang Qing''s predicament likely didn''te from within human civilization.


    As for external threats? Alien races? What would they gain from targeting Fang Qing? To threaten Lin Yuan?


    While it''s true that Fang Qing had a good rtionship with Lin Yuan, it was just that¡ªa good rtionship. If they wanted to threaten Lin Yuan, it would be more reliable to target Lin Yuan''s parents or close rtives.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, an hour ago, while Fang Qing was cultivating, he suddenly passed out."


    "His vital signs are stable, and his soul fluctuations are normal, but his spiritual will has vanished."


    The old man quickly exined Fang Qing''s situation.


    "His spiritual will has vanished?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression grew slightly serious.


    For a living being, what''s most important?


    The physical body? The soul?


    No.


    The most important thing is the spiritual will.


    The spiritual will carries the true spirit of a being, the most fundamental essence.


    Every time Lin Yuan used the Gate of Myriad Realms to transmigrate, it was his spiritual will that left.


    Normally, the way to determine whether a being is dead relies on the state of their spiritual will.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, do you think Fang Qing is dead?" The old man''s voice trembled slightly.


    He had worked hard to nurture Fang Qing, and the old grudge of his previous master had not yet been avenged. If Fang Qing was dead now...


    Moreover, after so many years together, the old man had developed feelings for Fang Qing. If Fang Qing truly died, it would be a heavy blow to him.


    Even intelligent life forms can develop emotions.


    "Fang Qing is not dead."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    When he heard that something had happened to Fang Qing, he immediately used the ''causal connection'' between him and Fang Qing to sense the situation.


    The causal line connecting him to Fang Qing was still present, indicating that Fang Qing had not died.


    Lin Yuan continued to sense the causal line rted to Fang Qing, trying to pinpoint his location, only to find that the other end of the line was deep in the universe''s starry expanse.


    It wasn''t within the territory of human civilization.


    "Was it an Ancient God who intervened?"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. The only beings he could think of that could instantly move Fang Qing''s spiritual will from the territory of human civilization to the depths of the universe were the eleventh-rank Ancient Gods.


    And even Ancient Gods would need certain conditions to aplish this.


    For example, the Ancient God that Fang Qing''s evolution path ultimately aimed to simte?


    Everything Fang Qing cultivated was to mimic that Ancient God, so the causal connection between them was strong.


    That Ancient God could instantly ''take away'' Fang Qing''s spiritual will, which was within the realm of possibility.


    "An Ancient God?"


    "Could it be the Ancient God tied to his evolution path?"


    The old man''s face turned pale. Human civilization suppresses the spread of the Ancient God evolution paths for this very reason.


    Any evolver who cultivates the Ancient God evolution path could potentially be a ''vessel'' for the corresponding Ancient God.


    Or fall under their control.


    But under normal circumstances, Ancient Gods wouldn''t have any interest in beings cultivating the Ancient God evolution path.


    Because they didn''t care.


    Those who could be called Ancient Gods were essentially special life forms, almost uniquely so.


    These special beings were incredibly proud, and they spread their evolution paths to prepare for the ultimate leap to the Strongest One level.


    Why would they intervene before attempting the ultimate leap?


    While human civilization suppresses various Ancient God evolution paths, it doesn''t do so entirely, in part because it has ns for the Ancient Gods themselves.


    If an Ancient God fails in the ultimate leap, they will diepletely, at which point those who cultivate the corresponding evolution path may inherit everything from that Ancient God.


    "Don''t worry."


    "I''ll go inquire about it."


    Lin Yuan nced at the old man and said.


    "Yes." The old man was anxious, but he knew that being more anxious wouldn''t help.


    After the old man disappeared, Lin Yuan fell into deep thought.


    "Fang Qing''s Ancient God evolution path..." Lin Yuan immediately used his authority to investigate.


    As an eighth-level citizen and an Evolutionary Schr, there were very few things in human civilization that Lin Yuan couldn''t ess, except for top-secret information.


    Soon.


    Lin Yuan discovered the background of Fang Qing''s Ancient God evolution path.


    "This Ancient God evolution path originated from ''Tuoba Ancient God''?" Lin Yuan stroked his chin.


    At the same time, based on his sense of Fang Qing''s causal connection, he confirmed that Fang Qing''s spiritual will was indeed located in Tuoba Ancient God''s domain.


    "It seems likely that Tuoba Ancient God was the one who acted."


    Lin Yuan thought silently.


    "But what significance does a mere sixth-rank being''s spiritual will have for an Ancient God like Tuoba?" Lin Yuan was puzzled.


    Tuoba Ancient God was an ancient and mysterious special being who hadprehended the rules of time long ago and had reached the final stages of time-space fusion.


    Even among Ancient Gods, Tuoba Ancient God was not considered weak.


    For such a being, a sixth-rank life form was no different from an ant or a speck of dust. Why would he specifically take away Fang Qing''s spiritual will?


    Lin Yuan couldn''t think of a reason for it at the moment.


    "First, let''s see if we can contact Tuoba Ancient God." Lin Yuan thought this matter could be resolved peacefully.


    So far, Tuoba Ancient God hadn''t had any conflicts or grudges with human civilization, and as long as Lin Yuan was willing to pay a price, there was a good chance he could retrieve Fang Qing''s spiritual will from Tuoba Ancient God.


    With this in mind.


    Lin Yuan immediately began contacting his friends.


    At his sister Lin Yi''s wedding, Lin Yuan had met arge number of tenth-rank evolvers.


    As the strongest genius in the history of human civilization, many powerful beings were willing to give Lin Yuan some respect.


    "What?"


    "The Milky Way Star Lord wants to contact Tuoba Ancient God?"


    "Tuoba Ancient God is said to have a rather bad temper."


    "I don''t know Tuoba Ancient God personally, but I know other Ancient Gods. Ancient Gods should have connections with each other."


    As a peak race in the universe, human civilization had vast influence, and most of the tenth-rank evolvers had some connections. They quickly brought results for Lin Yuan.


    In his personal space.


    A chubby figure appeared.


    "Milky Way Star Lord."


    This chubby figure spoke with a ratherplex tone.


    "It''s you?"


    Lin Yuan was a bit surprised.


    This chubby figure was none other than the ''Maduo'' walker from the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    The ''Maduo'' walker was also a special life form, the descendant of an Ancient God from the depths of the universe.


    As a rule, the virtualwork of human civilization was not open to alien races.


    However, high-level evolvers could temporarily apply for permission to set up a temporary virtualwork to allow aliens to connect.


    But during the connection period, all actions of the alien race would be monitored and recorded.


    "My ancestor knows Tuoba Ancient God and said he could help introduce you," the ''Maduo'' walker said directly.


    The ''Maduo'' walker''s Ancient God ancestor had regretted not acting in time during the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm incident.


    It was such a great opportunity.


    Completely wasted.


    Now, upon hearing that the Milky Way Star Lord wanted to contact Tuoba Ancient God, the ''Maduo'' walker''s Ancient God ancestor immediately recognized another opportunity.


    Although he didn''t know what Lin Yuan wanted with Tuoba Ancient God, given how openly Lin Yuan sought the meeting, it was clearly important.


    If he could help the Milky Way Star Lord at this time...


    Even if it didn''t create a bond of friendship, at the very least, it would make the Milky Way Star Lord think more highly of him.


    Rtionships aren''t built in a day, after all. They umte over time.


    "I see."


    Lin Yuan nodded, "Thank you, Sigu Ancient God."


    The ''Maduo'' walker''s Ancient God ancestor was known as the Sigu Ancient God, renowned for his extensive connections. It wasn''t surprising that he knew Tuoba Ancient God.


    "But my ancestor says that Tuoba Ancient God has a terrible temper, and before meeting him, my ancestor would like to meet with you, Milky Way Star Lord."


    The ''Maduo'' walker said.


    "No problem." Lin Yuan nodded.


    The meeting would naturally take ce in a temporarily constructed virtual world, so there was no concern for Lin Yuan''s safety.


    Soon.


    Another chubby figure appeared.


    Compared to the ''Maduo'' walker, this figure gave Lin Yuan a much stronger sense of pressure.


    This was the most powerful presence Lin Yuan had encountered so far, second only to Strongest One Xia Qin.


    "Sigu Ancient God."


    Lin Yuan said.


    "Milky Way Star Lord."


    Sigu Ancient God replied with a smile, showing no trace of arrogance despite being an eleventh-rank Ancient God.


    After some brief pleasantries, they got straight to the point.


    "May I ask why the Milky Way Star Lord wishes to meet Tuoba?" Sigu Ancient God inquired.


    "I have a friend who is cultivating the Tuoba Ancient God evolution path. Recently, his spiritual will vanished, and through my sense of causality, I confirmed that it''s in Tuoba Ancient God''s domain."


    Lin Yuan did not hide anything and exined directly.


    "I see." Sigu Ancient God nodded in understanding.


    He then frowned slightly, "Tuoba, that old guy, probably doesn''t have much lifespan left. I estimate that he''ll have to forcibly attempt the ultimate leap within 100M years."


    Eleventh-rank beings can slow down their time flow to achieve a form of ''pseudo-eternity,'' but it''s only a pseudo-eternity.


    In reality, the lifespan of eleventh-rank beings continues to diminish slowly. Tuoba Ancient God was born at the dawn of the universe and had lived through countless eras.


    Even with his ability to slow down the time flow of his physical body, his remaining lifespan couldn''t be much.


    To continue living, he would have to attempt the leap to the twelfth rank before his lifespan reached its limit.


    "Forcibly attempting the ultimate leap?" Lin Yuan was a bit surprised.


    "But why would Tuoba Ancient God take my friend''s spiritual will? He''s only at the sixth rank," Lin Yuan voiced his inner doubts.


    "Hahaha, Milky Way Star Lord, you may not know this." Sigu Ancient Godughed, "We Ancient Gods are innately powerful, which makes our spiritual will a weak point."


    "I suspect that Tuoba took your friend''s spiritual will to immerse himself in your friend''s memories, to experience a weak life, thereby tempering his own spiritual will."


    "But usually, this kind of immersion would be done with a being that has a high degree of simrity to oneself. Your friend was likely chosen by Tuoba for this reason."


    Sigu Ancient God exined.


    "I see." Lin Yuan nodded.


    For an Ancient God to make the ultimate leap, the spiritual will must not be a weak point. And for ancient eleventh-rank beings, asionally immersing themselves in an incredibly weak, powerless life could be a unique experience that benefits the transformation of their spiritual will.


    "This matter should not be difficult."


    "With me mediating, it shouldn''t be a problem."


    Sigu Ancient God said. For an eleventh-rank Ancient God, this kind of spiritual will wasn''t irreceable.


    If this one is gone, just choose another one.


    "Thank you, Sigu Ancient God." Lin Yuan said earnestly.


    "You''re wee."


    Sigu Ancient God was pleased¡ªthis was exactly what he had been hoping for.


    "I''ll contact Tuoba Ancient God right away."


    Sigu Ancient God didn''t forget to handle the main task.


    A momentter.


    In the temporary virtualwork space, a withered figure appeared.


    This withered figure exuded an indescribable aura, and his face was blurred, making it impossible to see his specific features.


    "Tuoba, you''re here." Sigu Ancient God looked at the withered figure and immediately introduced him, "This is the Milky Way Star Lord."


    "I''ve exined the situation to you. The spiritual will you took belongs to a friend of the Milky Way Star Lord. In my opinion, it''s not irreceable, right?"


    Sigu Ancient God said.


    "Milky Way Star Lord." Tuoba Ancient God ignored Sigu Ancient God and instead looked at Lin Yuan, smiling as he spoke, "Even an old guy like me has heard of the Milky Way Star Lord''s reputation. Impressive, truly impressive."


    "It''s just a reputation," Lin Yuan replied, shaking his head.


    If one does not be a Strongest One and break free from the River of Time, no matter how brilliant they are, it''s ultimately meaningless.


    "It''s different. Milky Way Star Lord, you have the support of human civilization, with nine Strongest Ones backing you. Your chances of making the ultimate leap in the future are far greater than those of us old-timers."


    Tuoba Ancient God continued, "With your talent and potential, Milky Way Star Lord, you will surely receive the highest attention from human civilization. The resources and training you''ll receive are something those of us without a race to back us can only envy."


    "Attempting the ultimate leap? That''s far off for me." Lin Yuan frowned slightly.


    Currently, he was only at the ninth rank. Beyond that was the tenth rank, and beyond that, the eleventh rank.


    Two major realm breakthroughs stood between Lin Yuan and the ultimate leap¡ªit was still a long way off.


    "Tuoba Ancient God."


    "I''ll get straight to the point."


    Lin Yuan thought for a moment and then spoke directly, "The spiritual will you took belongs to my friend. If you return it to me, we can negotiate the terms."


    Lin Yuan never intended to ask Tuoba Ancient God to return Fang Qing''s spiritual will unconditionally.


    But he also didn''t think the cost would be too high¡ªit was just the spiritual will of a sixth-rank being, after all, and Sigu Ancient God was there to mediate.


    Plus, there was the deterrence of human civilization.


    Lin Yuan wasn''t just an extraordinary genius¡ªhe also had human civilization behind him.


    "Terms? Alright, let''s talk terms." Tuoba Ancient God looked at Lin Yuan and said, "You''ve probably heard from Sigu that I don''t have much lifespan left."


    "If I keep waiting, I''ll probably have to forcibly attempt the ultimate leap."


    Tuoba Ancient God said slowly.


    "But I''m not very confident about the leap."


    Tuoba Ancient God shook his head, "So my condition is this: if the Milky Way Star Lord can offer me an item that would increase my chances of sessfully making the ultimate leap, I''ll return the spiritual will."


    "An item to increase the chances of making the ultimate leap?" Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.


    ''What the fuck? Did this old thing really asked me something like this?''


    Tuoba Ancient God was indeed asking for a lot¡ªhow could he even dare to make such a demand?


    The ultimate leap? That''s the highest goal of all evolved beings. An item that could increase the chances of sessfully making the leap would be incredibly precious.


    "Tuoba, are you crazy?" Sigu Ancient God was dumbfounded. He never expected Tuoba Ancient God to actually say such a thing.


    "Well, that''s my condition. If the Milky Way Star Lord can meet it, we''ll make the deal." Tuoba Ancient God smiled and said, "I believe in the Milky Way Star Lord''s abilities¡ªyou''ll surely make me an offer I''ll be satisfied with."

 Chapter 350

    "I don''t have it," Lin Yuan directly shook his head and said.


    In fact, Lin Yuan did possess an item that could increase the probability of making the ultimate leap¡ªan item that could break through the shackles of the inner world. This mysterious gourd, after absorbing the seven-colored liquid within it, could expand the size of one''s inner world by more than twenty times.


    For an eleventh-rank being attempting the ultimate leap, their inner world would undergo a transformation into an inner universe. At that point, the greater the foundation of the inner world, the smoother the transformation, effectively increasing the likelihood of a sessful ultimate leap.


    But there was no way Lin Yuan would use this mysterious gourd for a transaction. He had even kept it hidden from human civilization, let alone revealing it to Tuoba Ancient God.


    Lin Yuan could easily foresee that if he dared to reveal even the slightest information about the mysterious gourd, it would immediately attract the direct intervention of a Strongest One.


    To the Strongest Ones, no matter how talented Lin Yuan was, he was still just a being within the River of Time. Unable to escape it, he would eventually die of old age, so such a genius would not hold much significance to the Strongest Ones.


    But the mysterious gourd? It was absolutely a treasure surpassing even twelve-star cosmic wonders like the Spring of Eternity. Lin Yuan had no doubt that the Strongest Ones would fight to the death over it.


    "I knew you wouldn''t have it," Tuoba Ancient God said, "but human civilization definitely does."


    "The spiritual will I took belongs to your close friend. Are you really going to watch as his memories arepletely overwritten by my experience?"Tuoba Ancient God continued.


    Once Fang Qing''s spiritual will was fully assimted by Tuoba Ancient God, it would be utterly erased.


    ''This old fossil is threatening me'' Lin Yuan was furious inside.


    "I''ll think about it," Lin Yuan didn''t outright refuse but said these words before standing up and disappearing.


    After Lin Yuan left, only Tuoba Ancient God and Sigu Ancient God remained in the temporarily constructed virtualwork world.


    "Tuoba!" Sigu Ancient God red at Tuoba Ancient God, his face extremely grim, with mes flickering in his eyes. Sigu Ancient God had always maintained a reputation as a mediator, forming connections with all sides, but now he was genuinely furious.


    "A mere sixth-rank being''s spiritual will, and you think it''s worth a treasure that could increase the probability of an ultimate leap?"


    "Even if you have a grudge against human civilization, since I''ve stepped in, you shouldn''t have made such an unreasonable demand."


    Sigu Ancient God''s gaze was icy.


    "A mere sixth-rank being?" Tuoba Ancient God smiled slightly, "To us, yes, it''s just a sixth-rank being, but I also found out that Fang Qing has done a great favor for the Milky Way Star Lord."


    "The Milky Way Star Lord is too young. He probably values this kind of favor very highly. I''m just making a suggestion¡ªif the negotiations fall through, it doesn''t matter."


    Tuoba Ancient God seemed indifferent. Although he knew the likelihood of the Milky Way Star Lord producing a treasure that could increase the probability of an ultimate leap was slim, what if he did? If the Milky Way Star Lord was willing to go to great lengths, it would be an enormous opportunity for him.


    And even if, in the end, the Milky Way Star Lord couldn''t produce such a treasure, Tuoba Ancient God could always propose other conditions. After all, Fang Qing''s spiritual will was in his hands, and he could manipte the Milky Way Star Lord at any time.


    "Aren''t you afraid of offending the Milky Way Star Lord and, by extension, human civilization?" Sigu Ancient God was silent for a moment before speaking.


    No matter the oue, Tuoba Ancient God had thoroughly antagonized the Milky Way Star Lord, which equated to antagonizing human civilization.


    "I don''t have much lifespan left; what do I have to be afraid of?" Tuoba Ancient God said calmly, "Within a few million years, I will attempt the ultimate leap." ??


    "If I fail, everything about me will be erased. What difference does it make if I offend ten Milky Way Star Lords? And if I seed, I''ll be a Strongest One¡ªwhat can the Milky Way Star Lord do then?"


    Tuoba Ancient God shook his head, "Sigu, all these years you''ve spent making connections with various geniuses seem meaningless to me. If they don''t be Strongest Ones, what use are those connections?"


    "How I conduct my affairs is none of your concern," Sigu Ancient God retorted, "But Tuoba, let me ask you onest time: do you really want to stand against the Milky Way Star Lord?"


    "I wouldn''t advise it. The Milky Way Star Lord''s potential is the greatest I''ve ever seen, and your actions could have serious repercussions."


    Sigu Ancient God spoke earnestly.


    "The greatest potential?" Tuoba Ancient God sneered, "I''ll be attempting the ultimate leap within a few million years. Do you think the Milky Way Star Lord will be able to achieve the ultimate leap within that time?"


    "Stop trying to mediate, Sigu. I''ve got the Milky Way Star Lord figured out."


    "We special life forms are far above others. Why should I care about the Milky Way Star Lord?"


    "Even if the Milky Way Star Lord seeks out a Strongest One from human civilization, I can always turn to the Insect Race''s Tianyu n¡ªthey can protect me."


    Tuoba Ancient God had thought things through thoroughly. No matter how extraordinary the Milky Way Star Lord''s talent was, he wasn''t a Strongest One. The nine Strongest Ones of human civilization wouldn''t go to war with the Tianyu n of the Insect Race over the Milky Way Star Lord''s friend.


    After all, nothing had happened to the Milky Way Star Lord himself. As for his friend''s death? The Strongest Ones of human civilization wouldn''t care about that.


    Sigu Ancient God fell silent at those words.


    "Now, I''ll just wait for the Milky Way Star Lord''s reply."


    "Hopefully, there will be a pleasant surprise," Tuoba Ancient God said, eyes gleaming with anticipation.


    "Tuoba, why don''t you propose a different condition? I''ll negotiate on behalf of the Milky Way Star Lord," Sigu Ancient God suggested after some thought.


    "Sigu, just stay out of this," Tuoba Ancient God replied dismissively, "At this point, no treasure is valuable to me unless it helps with the ultimate leap."


    "Unless you can provide something that increases the probability of an ultimate leap."


    "Of course I don''t have that," Sigu Ancient God sighed, even if he did, he wouldn''t give it up.


    Lin Yuan, having left the temporary virtualwork world, returned to his personal space.


    "Tuoba Ancient God sees me as an easy target, trying to squeeze me for everything I''ve got," Lin Yuan thought as he sat down.


    Anyone could see that Tuoba Ancient God''s demand was excessive, but he was holding Fang Qing''s spiritual will over Lin Yuan as leverage.


    "Information suggests that Tuoba Ancient God is proud and has a bad temper. Now I see he''s also quite bold," Lin Yuan thought to himself. To threaten him so tantly was something he had rarely encountered.


    "Then again, Tuoba Ancient God has no reason to fear me. In the eyes of most strong beings, my limit is the eleventh rank. As for the ultimate leap? Achieving it has little to do with talent."


    Lin Yuan reflected. As an eleventh-rank special life form, Tuoba Ancient God had no reason to fear an eleventh-rank human.


    As for the myths Lin Yuan had shattered and the miracles he had created at the eighth and ninth ranks? The higher the level, the exponentially harder it would be to replicate such feats.


    While Lin Yuan had been able to kill beings of the same rank with ease at the eighth and ninth ranks, could he really do the same after advancing to the eleventh rank?


    Killing eleventh-rank beings as easily as ughtering chickens? That was a feat reserved for the Strongest Ones, and even some special eleventh-rank life forms could resist the Strongest Ones to some extent.


    Take the ''Mother of the Tree Realm,'' for example¡ªshe was undoubtedly one of the strongest eleventh-rank beings.


    A momentter, Sigu Ancient God reached out to Lin Yuan.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, I''m sorry I couldn''t convince Tuoba," Sigu Ancient God said with some shame. He hadn''t expected Tuoba Ancient God to be so reckless as to demand such outrageous terms.


    "Tuoba has little lifespan left and is on the brink of a forced ultimate leap. He''ll cling to any hope of increasing his chances. At this point, Milky Way Star Lord, meeting him..."


    Sigu Ancient God sighed.


    If this had been tens of billions of years ago, he was confident he could have persuaded Tuoba Ancient God, but now? Tuoba Ancient God''s focus was entirely on the ultimate leap, and he didn''t care about offending even one or two Strongest Ones to achieve it.


    "I''ll continue to negotiate. Based on my understanding of Tuoba, he might lower his conditions a bit," Sigu Ancient God offered.


    "Understood."


    "Thank you, Sigu Ancient God."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    After Sigu Ancient God left, Lin Yuan remained seated.


    "Lower his conditions?" Lin Yuan sneered. Based on his brief interaction with Tuoba Ancient God, he didn''t think it was very likely.


    Besides, if he started by demanding a treasure that could increase the probability of the ultimate leap, how much could he really lower his price?


    Red Kun Main Star.


    Lin Yuan silently appeared.


    In the past, traveling from the Milky Way Star to the Red Kun Main Star would have taken Lin Yuan one or two years at the eighth rank.


    But now, with his mastery of <em>Nine Steps of Space-Time,</em> it was merely a matter of two or three steps.


    The space around Lin Yuan twisted, and he easily evaded the Red Kun Main Star''sary defense system. No one on the Red Kun Main Star was aware that the Milky Way Star Lord had returned.


    Soon, Lin Yuan arrived at the Thirteenth Mountain and quickly entered Fang Qing''s cultivation chamber.


    The news of Fang Qing''s sudden copse had not yet spread. Lin Yuan had not exined the reason for contacting Tuoba Ancient God; apart from Sigu Ancient God, no one else knew.


    "Fang Qing."


    Lin Yuan looked at Fang Qing lying in the nutrient chamber.


    Swoosh.


    The white-bearded old man''s projection appeared. As an intelligent life form, he could only manifest as a projection in the real world, without a physical body.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, why have you returned?" The old man was shocked. He had just seen the Milky Way Star Lord not long ago and was still waiting for news, yet Lin Yuan had personally returned.


    "No need to make a fuss."


    Lin Yuan nced at the old man, "Regarding Fang Qing, I''ll ask a Strongest One to revive himter."


    The next moment.


    Lin Yuan focused his thoughts and, using Fang Qing''s physical body as a ''medium,'' followed the causal connection to curse and kill his spiritual will.


    Fang Qing had just reached the sixth rank, while Lin Yuan was already a ninth-rank evolver, three major levels higher. Moreover, he was using the body with the deepest connection as the ''medium.''


    In other words, Fang Qing was doomed.


    The rules of causality are among the most mysterious and obscure in the universe, and after reaching the ninth rank, Lin Yuan had spent some time specifically studying these rules.


    If Fang Qing''s spiritual will were to be assimted by Tuoba Ancient God, his memories would bepletely corrupted by the Ancient God, simr to being trapped in a poisonous memory loop.


    Even if he were resurrected, with his memories unchanged, he would still die in madness.


    Rather than let that happen, Lin Yuan decided it was better to kill Fang Qing outright.


    By dying in this way, Fang Qing still had a chance to be resurrected by a Strongest One.


    To maximize the chances ofpletely killing Fang Qing, Lin Yuan had deliberately told Tuoba Ancient God that he would ''consider it.''


    This kept Tuoba Ancient God hopeful, while Lin Yuan secretly returned to the Red Kun Main Star in his true form, thus ensuring the highest sess rate for the curse.


    "The causal connection is gone"


    Once the curse waspleted, Lin Yuan sensed that the causal line connected to Fang Qing had disappeared.


    The difference in their levels was so vast that Lin Yuan hadn''t even paid any price for this curse.


    In fact, Lin Yuan had prepared for the worst-case scenario, where the curse might fail, especially since Fang Qing''s spiritual will was in Tuoba Ancient God''s possession.


    What kind of tricks didn''t an ancient being like Tuoba Ancient God have? Perhaps he had the ability to block causal connections.


    The causal curse is formless and intangible, but it''s not omnipotent¡ªthere are ways to counteract it. For example, the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm could iste causal connections.


    So¡ª


    In Lin Yuan''s n, if Tuoba Ancient God managed to block the curse, he would immediately ask Strongest One Xia Qin to intervene and curse Fang Qing.


    With the power of a Strongest One, cursing a sixth-rank being would be impossible to block unless Tuoba Ancient God had a Strongest One''s legacy ce like the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    But as it turned out.


    Tuoba Ancient God seemed unprepared for this or perhaps never expected that Lin Yuan wouldn''t be swayed by his threats and would instead curse his friend outright without even negotiating.


    "Revived...ter?" The old man, though saddened, also felt a sense of relief.


    When he learned from Lin Yuan that Fang Qing''s copse was rted to an Ancient God, he had already braced himself for the worst.


    What kind of being is an Ancient God?


    Now it seemed that Fang Qing was indeed dead.


    However, the Milky Way Star Lord did intend to ask a Strongest One to revive him in the future.


    It''s worth noting that while a sixth-rank being does leave a mark on the universe, forming a ''beacon'' that makes resurrection possible, the number of sixth-rank evolvers in human civilization is in the billions upon billions.


    If every deceased sixth-rank evolver required a Strongest One to revive them, the Strongest Ones would never have a moment''s rest, dedicating all their time to reviving sixth-rank evolvers.


    Only sixth-rank evolvers with extraordinary talent and potential have a chance to be resurrected by a Strongest One.


    Fang Qing obviously didn''t meet that criteria. Cultivating the Ancient God evolution path was inherently risky and could easily turn one into a vessel for an Ancient God.


    Strongest Ones generally wouldn''t revive such evolvers.


    But since Lin Yuan said so, the old man immediately believed it.


    Deep in the universe.


    In a certain secret realm.


    Tuoba Ancient God sat cross-legged. His body was asrge as a star, and as a rare special life form, if Tuoba Ancient God fully extended his body, he would be as vast as a star system.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord said he''d think about it."


    "I wonder how that''s going."


    Tuoba Ancient God thought to himself.


    His true goal wasn''t actually a treasure that could increase the probability of the ultimate leap.


    Even if human civilization possessed such an item, they wouldn''t let the Milky Way Star Lord do as he pleased with it.


    That was just a random condition Tuoba Ancient God proposed, expecting the Milky Way Star Lord to negotiate.


    His ultimate goal was to have human civilization promote his evolution path.


    The probability of making the ultimate leap isn''t just influenced by treasures¡ªthere are various methods.


    For example, spreading one''s evolution path more widely and having more practitioners cultivate it could have a simr effect.


    But human civilization had been suppressing the spread of Ancient God evolution paths, leaving Tuoba Ancient God frustrated with no solution.


    Now, however, the Milky Way Star Lord gave him hope.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, if you intervene, I believe you could get human civilization to back off and allow the spread of my evolution path. It wouldn''t be too difficult."


    Tuoba Ancient God thought to himself while waiting for the Milky Way Star Lord to contact him again.


    Just then.


    Buzz.


    A wave of invisible energy swept through.


    "Hmm?"


    Tuoba Ancient God was momentarily stunned.


    "Causality?"


    Tuoba Ancient God''s expression changed.


    "This isn''t good."


    Tuoba Ancient God immediately sensed that the spiritual will of Fang Qing within him was rapidly disintegrating.


    "A curse?"


    "Someone cursed this spiritual will?"


    Tuoba Ancient God was incredulous, "The secret realm I''m in has a weakening effect on causality."


    "To sessfully curse, one would need the closest connected item, like using the physical body as the ''medium.''"


    "Was the Milky Way Star Lord the one who cursed it?"


    Tuoba Ancient God quickly realized and immediately understood that he had underestimated the Milky Way Star Lord''s attachment to Fang Qing.


    If the Milky Way Star Lord truly valued Fang Qing, he would at least have negotiated. But to curse outright? That carried significant risks.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord doesn''t want to be threatened at all?"


    Tuoba Ancient God was silent for a moment before understanding the Milky Way Star Lord''s mindset.


    He had a feeling that even if he had taken the Milky Way Star Lord''s parents or close rtives instead of Fang Qing, the result would have been the same.


    After eliminating the threat to Fang Qing.


    Lin Yuan quickly returned to the Milky Way Main Star.


    As the Milky Way Star Lord, it wasn''t an issue for him to leave the main star for a short time, but being away for too long would be a bit unwise.


    "The Strongest One''s next scheduled resurrection will likely be in about two thousand years."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself. The Strongest Ones typically resurrect a batch of beings at once after umting a set number of targets, which is the most convenient and efficient method.


    "In two thousand years, after two thousand years in the main world, I should have already reached the eleventh rank, and then I can ask the Strongest One to resurrect Fang Qing."


    Lin Yuan silently reflected.


    If things go smoothly, in two thousand years in the main world, Lin Yuan might already be attempting the ultimate leap, or perhaps he would already have achieved it.


    Two thousand years in the main world doesn''t mean Lin Yuan will only experience two thousand years; with the Gate of Myriad Realm, Lin Yuan''s actual time experienced might be more than twenty thousand years.


    With all the resources and foundations Lin Yuan possessed,bined with his unrivaled insight, two more millennia might be enough for him to attempt the ultimate leap or even achieve it.


    Time passed slowly.


    In the blink of an eye, another twenty years went by.


    Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.


    "A hundred years... are almost up."


    "The Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm is about to close." Lin Yuan looked toward the outer region of the secret realm.


    He saw that arge number of ninth-rank alien beings and ninth-rank human evolvers had gathered in the outer region. As for the inner region, there were also many ninth-rank aliens.


    These were aliens who had been forced into this area by the human evolvers.


    "The secret realm is closing... it''s almost time for me to reap the rewards."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face as he looked at the despairing ninth-rank aliens in the inner region, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction.

 Chapter 351

    The Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm opens once every 200,000 years. Each time it opens, it remains active for a hundred years.


    Lin Yuan did not enter the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm right when it opened. Instead, he deliberately waited 30 to 40 years to avoid the influx of other strong individuals, then sent his Yang Primordial Spirit.


    At that time, Lin Yuan had just entered the ninth rank. Although he had stabilized his level by utilizing dozens of types of cosmic power, he was still far behind the pinnacle of other ninth-rank beings in the universe.


    Moreover, Lin Yuan''s purpose in entering the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm was not for treasures or opportunities, but to uncover the source of a certain calling he felt. Thus, he chose to avoid the "peak" time when most would enter the realm.


    "This Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm has witnessed my growth during the ninth rank," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    When the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm first opened, Lin Yuan was merely at the ninth-rank''s ten-thousandfold level. Although he wasn''t at the bottom, he wasn''t particrly strong either. However, now that the realm was about to close, Lin Yuan had redefined the value of the ninth rank in the eyes of the many races of the universe.


    So, a ninth-rank being could be this powerful?


    Could it be that an ordinary ninth-rank being could overpower even those unique and special ninth-rank beings?


    "In the past twenty years, myprehension of thews of time has progressed so much that I am very close to fully understanding them." Lin Yuan shifted his attention away from the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.Thanks to the guidance of the Strongest One, Xia Qin, who had helped him escape the long river of time and briefly step onto the "shore," Lin Yuan had made rapid progress in his understanding of timews over the past twenty years.


    Specifically, Lin Yuan had built 1,953 new models of timews, based on the 2,173 known models of timews.


    Compared to the nearly ten thousand models of spacews, where understanding them all leads to mastery of spacews, the models of timews that humanity had summarized still left a long way to go before fully understanding thews of time.


    At least, judging by the majority of life in the universe, the difficulty ofprehending timews far exceeds that of spacews.


    Of course, the threshold for spacews is lower, but their true upper limit is not much weaker than that of timews.


    Even the Strongest Ones have deeply delved into the vast domain of space, such as the Void God Strongest One, one of the nine Strongest Ones of human civilization, and the master of the Devil Jade Tower, both of whom are highly skilled in spacews.


    For the Strongest Ones, spacews have transcended mere rules and be a path¡ªThe Tao of Space.


    "The 1,953 new models of timews I constructed are merely applicable to my understanding of timews. They cannot be generalized like the earlier 2,173 models."


    Lin Yuan pondered to himself.


    Almost all the great schrs of human civilization who have specialized in timews are at the eleventh rank; they have long since fully understood timews.


    Could it be that they only constructed 2,173 timew models?


    Of course not.


    The 2,173 timew models were designed to help most evolvers understand them in the simplest way possible.


    As for more profound timew models, they certainly exist, but the difficulty ofprehending them is extremely high.


    Moreover, they may not be applicable to every evolver, which is why they have not been fully disclosed.


    For example, the 1,953 new timew models that Lin Yuan constructed contain his most fundamental understanding of timews.


    Other evolvers might as well be reading ancient texts; it would be more reliable for them to simply feel the time fluctuations honestly.


    "I have a feeling that when I construct the 2,050th new model of timews, that will be the moment I fullyprehend timews."


    In other words, Lin Yuan is just under a hundred models away from fully understanding timews.


    The time needed might be as short as three or four years or as long as seven or eight years.


    It won''t differ much from the thirty years he initially anticipated to fullyprehend timews.


    Boom!


    Within the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    A dim, mysterious light shone from the ground to the sky, covering the core and inner areas of the secret realm.


    All foreign beings in this area would be obliterated by the power of the secret realm.


    In an unremarkable valley within the inner area, a special ninth-rank being, who had hidden their aura and had nearly 30 millionyers of space opened up, stood there.


    At that moment, the mysterious light from the deepest part of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, stretching from the ground to the sky, was about to envelop the valley where he was.


    "With my strength, as long as I break through the human civilization''s blockade before the realm closes and enter the outer area, I have at least a 30% chance of sessfully leaving the realm."


    The special ninth-rank being silently calcted.


    The ninth-rank evolvers of human civilization, who maintained the blockade from the inner to the outer area, were already struggling with their task.


    Moreover, as a special ninth-rank, he had the confidence to sweep away the vast majority of ninth-rank beings.


    If it weren''t for the possibility of the Milky Way Star Lord appearing at any moment, this special ninth-rank being believed that his chances of leaving the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm would exceed 90%.


    But even so, a 30% chance wasn''t low.


    It was certainly better than waiting in the inner area to die.


    However, the peak race alliance of the Insect Race, the Tianyu Race, and other peak races wouldn''t allow him to do so.


    A 30% chance of leaving the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm meant a 70% chance of dying at the hands of human civilization.


    If he died, the many treasures and weapons on his body would fall into the hands of human civilization.


    Moreover, if even a special ninth-rank being only had a 30% chance of escaping, ordinary ninth-rank beings of other races might not even have a 10% chance.


    Thus, even if a few managed to escape, the vast majority of ninth-rank beings would still die at the hands of the human civilization''s evolvers.


    From the perspective of the peak race alliance of the Insect Race, Tianyu Race, and others, while they might salvage some losses and some strong individuals might preserve their avatars, the gains for human civilization would be even greater.


    In that case, they might as well go all the way.


    They would rather bear the losses themselves than let human civilization gain any benefit.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, it''s all because of the Milky Way Star Lord!"


    This special ninth-rank being thought of that towering figure, and his heart trembled.


    If not for the absolute power of the Milky Way Star Lord, how could so many ninth-rank beings be forced to this extent by a mere ninth-rank evolver of human civilization?


    "However, I''ve hidden all my weapons, treasures, and opportunities in a secret corner of the secret realm. I hope they''ll still be there the next time the realm opens."


    The special ninth-rank being thought to himself. Without his weapons and treasures, hisbat strength would drop significantly, and if he forcibly broke through the human civilization''s blockade, his chances of leaving would be slim.


    The main issue was that the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm''s suppression of space was too extreme. The teleportation and instant movement techniques that the special ninth-rank beings were most skilled at were severely hindered.


    And once he entered the outer area, to be repelled out of the secret realm, the surrounding space had to be stable.


    As for hiding the treasures and weapons in the inner area and then trying to force his way through the human civilization''s blockade...


    Even the corpse of a ninth-rank being is a valuable resource, especially those of special beings, whose value is calcted in tens of thousands of universe crystals.


    Time passed.


    After another six months.


    In the outer area of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    Lin Yuan, along with several other ninth-rank evolvers of human civilization, was repelled out of the secret realm just before it closed.


    Whoosh.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared under the starry sky.


    Nearby, other ninth-rank evolvers of human civilization were also appearing one after another.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, I''m heading off first."


    "Thanks to the Milky Way Star Lord, our human civilization was able to suppress those other races during this trip to the secret realm."


    "Hahaha, that was truly satisfying!"


    One by one, the ninth-rank evolvers of human civilization greeted Lin Yuan before leaving.


    Lin Yuan also merged into the deepyers of space, heading toward the Milky Way''s main star.


    At the same time, a wisp of Lin Yuan''s consciousness descended into the deepest part of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm through the Mysterious Emperor Mark.


    As the master of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, even if his physical body did not enter, he could send a wisp of his consciousness there through the power of the mark.


    "Master."


    A six-armed figure stood respectfully.


    "How did it go?" Lin Yuan asked directly.


    Lin Yuan had naturally entrusted the task of wiping out the ninth-rank beings in the core and inner areas of the secret realm to the six-armed figure. After all, this was something the figure was familiar with and had done countless times.


    "Master, there are no more foreign beings left in the secret realm," the six-armed figure reported immediately.


    "No more foreign beings," implying that all those ninth-rank beings who did not reach the outer area and were not repelled back to the main universe had perished.


    "These are the bodies of the foreign beings."


    The six-armed figure waved his hand, and over 8,000 bodies appeared before them.


    The Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm''s killing power had two forms: one thatpletely obliterated, annihting both body and soul, and one that only erased the soul while preserving the body.


    In the past, the six-armed figure would opt forplete obliteration since the bodies of foreign beings were of no use to him.


    But this time, under Lin Yuan''s instructions, the six-armed figure chose the soul-erasing method.


    "These¡­" Lin Yuan looked at the more than 8,000 ninth-rank alien bodies. These were all universe crystals.


    The bodies of ninth-rank beings, having undergone countless refinements, had their flesh and bones transformed into rare treasures of the nine-star universe.


    And this was just among ordinary ninth-rank beings. For those special ninth-rank beings, their value would be ten or even a hundred times higher.


    "These bodies cannot be exposed. I''ll use them as resources to cultivate the ''Mysterious Emperor''s body,''" Lin Yuan thought.


    He had no qualms about devouring these bodies; after all, they were beings from other races in the universe.


    Human civilization frequently hunted down special beings and made delicacies from them, which were highly sought after.


    Cultivating the "Mysterious Emperor''s body" required a vast amount of external resources. The resources weren''t limited to the Mysterious Emperor Crystals; anything containing energy could be absorbed by the Mysterious Emperor''s body.


    "And then there are the weapons and treasures."


    The six-armed figure waved his hand again, and over 10,000 weapons and treasures appeared.


    Although the ninth-rank beings entering the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm wouldn''t bring their most valuable weapons and treasures, they would certainly carry one or two decent items to maintain theirbat strength.


    While one or two weapons or treasures per individual might not seem like much, whenbined from over 8,000 ninth-rank beings, it amounted to nearly 20,000 weapons and treasures, all at the ninth-rank level.


    The value was so great that even Lin Yuan was somewhat amazed.


    "Luckily, both my true form and my primordial spirits can cultivate the ''Mysterious Emperor''s body.'' Otherwise, who knows how long it would take to use up all these weapons and treasures."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Like the bodies of the ninth-rank aliens, the nearly 20,000 weapons and treasures before Lin Yuan couldn''t be taken out, as each one had unique characteristics. If they were brought out, there would be a risk of them being recognized, which could expose Lin Yuan''s identity as the master of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    Aside from being used to cultivate the "Mysterious Emperor''s body," Lin Yuan had another way to utilize these bodies and treasures.


    He could use the "Primordial Power" he mastered to continuously revert everything to its most basic source power.


    During his previous transmigrations, Lin Yuan had fully integrated the power of bodies from other worlds into the Original Essence Gold by using "Primordial Power."


    Of course, Lin Yuan thought he might not need this method.


    Cultivating the "Mysterious Emperor''s body" required a terrifying amount of resources, and Lin Yuan was cultivating three Mysterious Emperor''s bodys at once.


    "Lastly, there are the Mysterious Emperor Crystals and some of the treasures in the secret realm."


    The six-armed figure waved his hand onest time, and arge number of items appeared in front of them.


    "Not bad at all," Lin Yuan thought, pleased with the tremendous harvest from the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    At least for the foreseeable future, Lin Yuan wouldn''t need to worry about resources or universe crystals.


    Under the vast starry sky.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared, and with a single step, space rippled, and he reappeared thousands of light-years away.


    While returning ordinarily, Lin Yuan used teleportation techniques. As for the "Nine Steps of Space and Time"? He wouldn''t consider using that unless something important arose.


    "This time, the Mysterious Emperor Crystals I brought back, along with the various weapons and treasures umted in the secret realm, should be enough to sustain the cultivation of my true form and Yin Primordial Spirit for a while."


    As Lin Yuan traveled, he began nning for the future.


    The "Mysterious Emperor''s body" was a life-saving and defensive secret technique, and it was definitely worth cultivating if he could. Even his primordial spirit avatars needed to cultivate it, as he had invested heavily in them as well.


    If possible, Lin Yuan didn''t want his two primordial spirits to be too weak.


    Whoosh.


    Lin Yuan continued to traverse thousands of light-years with each step. His Yang Primordial Spirit, without the World Tree, moved slightly slower in normal travel, butpared to other ninth-rank evolvers, it was still many times faster due to the number of spaceyers he upied.


    "Hm?"


    After anotherrge teleportation of several thousand light-years, Lin Yuan nced at the deste starry sky before him, intending to continue his journey, but he suddenly noticed a ck.


    In the vast universe, most star domains are barren and deste, withs being rare, and even fewer of those being life-bearings suitable for habitation.


    This ck looked extremely ordinary, likely one of those worthless dead stars. Lin Yuan initially thought so too, but after a closer look, he realized he couldn''t see through this ck.


    "What is that?"


    Lin Yuan observed more closely and even peered through multipleyers of space, discovering that the ck could influence the spaceyers.


    "A that can influence spaceyers? What secrets does this ck hold?" Lin Yuan didn''t approach immediately but kept his distance, continuing to observe.


    "It can block my senses. If I hadn''t coincidentallye near this ck, I wouldn''t have noticed it if I were even a little farther away."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    At this moment, he realized the peculiarity of this ck. Although he wasn''t sure of its origin, anything capable of evading his detection couldn''t be simple.


    "Is this a stroke of luck just from traveling normally?" Lin Yuan suddenly thought.


    Once human civilization''s evolvers reached the sixth rank, they loved exploring more star domains in search of so-called "adventures." Even evolvers below the sixth rank enjoyed flying their spaceships around.


    In fact, when Lin Yuan swept through the Milky Way Star Domain and found a mysterious gourd, it was also considered an adventure.


    "Let''s test it out first."


    Lin Yuan observed for a while longer before suddenly striking with a palm toward the distant ck.


    Boom!


    Terrifying power descended upon the ck through multipleyers of space.


    Lin Yuan held back as much as he could with that strike, but it was still enough to easily destroy a high-level life-bearing. However, when itnded on the ck, it felt as if it had sunk into a quagmire, having no effect at all.


    "Hm?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression changed slightly.


    On the fringes of human civilization''s territory, the Xiayou Evolution Tower stood tall and imposing.


    As one of the nine great evolution towers of human civilization, the Xiayou Evolution Tower represented the Strongest One, Xia Qin, who held the line at the edge of the territory, deterring the two peak race groups bordering human civilization.


    Within the evolution tower, in a certain cultivation world, Deputy Tower Master Nn sat cross-legged.


    "I never expected that I, a peak tenth-rank being, listed among the top 100 A-rank threats by other races, would be surpassed by the Milky Way Star Lord in my understanding of thews of time."


    Deputy Tower Master Nn felt a mix of emotions. How old was the Milky Way Star Lord? And how old was he?


    Moreover, the Milky Way Star Lord''s understanding of thews of time didn''t just slightly surpass his; it far exceeded his own.


    The casually deployed time prison alone was enough to trap him. Though it was true that he hadn''t used his full strength, the Milky Way Star Lord was still only at the ninth rank!


    Deputy Tower Master Nn knew that he had lost.


    "I''ve always been the one surpassing my predecessors, but this time I''ve been surpassed by a junior. It''s an odd feeling." Deputy Tower Master Nn harbored no resentment toward the Milky Way Star Lord.


    The Milky Way Star Lord had surpassed him in understanding thews of time simply because he wasn''t strong enough.


    As Deputy Tower Master Nn sat cross-legged, his state of mind subtly shifted.


    In the midst of his thoughts, a long-standing bottleneck that had been holding him back began to crumble and dissolve.


    "Mh?"


    Deputy Tower Master Nn''s aura began to change, subtly evolving toward a higher level.


    "Have Iprehended the key to the fusion rule?"


    "Can I now attempt to reach the eleventh rank?"


    Deputy Tower Master Nn was momentarily stunned, unable to believe it.


    For a tenth-rank evolver to advance to the eleventh rank, they primarily needed toprehend a qualifying fusion rule.


    Deputy Tower Master Nn had been stuck at this stage for a long time, having entered several otherworldly ces and lived through millions to tens of millions of years, yet he still hadn''t been able to ovee this obstacle.


    He never expected that this time, thanks to the Milky Way Star Lord, he would thoroughly examine himself, discard his past pride, and break through this bottleneck.


    "Milky Way Star Lord..." Deputy Tower Master Nn''s expression wasplex.


    In a certain sense, the Milky Way Star Lord was his benefactor.

 Chapter 352

    Under the deste starry sky of the universe, Lin Yuan solemnly observed the distant ck.


    Although he had just used a minimal amount of power in that strike, it was still enough to annihte a high-level life-bearing, and even a star would have been knocked out of its orbit. Yet, the ck hadn''t moved at all?


    Not only did it not move, but it also seemedpletely unaffected, as if the attack had never happened.


    This was truly astonishing.


    Next, Lin Yuan began to gradually increase his power, continually testing the ck.


    But still, there was no effect.


    Even when Lin Yuan elevated his power to the level of a billion spaceyers, there was still no impact.


    Seeing this, Lin Yuan decided to stop his tests.


    He was confident that he could perfectly conceal the energy fluctuations at the level of a billion spaceyers. However, if he were to push further, he would no longer be able to guarantee that his actions would go unnoticed, possibly attracting the attention of passing ninth-rank evolvers or even triggering a detection by the Human Civilization Monitoring Bureau."This has a significant background," Lin Yuan''s heartbeat quickened.


    The power at the level of a billion spaceyers was already at the upper limit for ninth-rank experts in the main universe. Furthermore, the size of the internal world within Lin Yuan far exceeded that of other ninth-rank beings at the same level. Yet, it had no effect on this ck.


    This realization made Lin Yuan aware that the value of this ck was beyond his initial expectations.


    "Should I descend and take a closer look?"


    Lin Yuan gazed at the ck.


    Theoretically, given Lin Yuan''s strength, there was virtually no danger he could encounter within the boundaries of human civilization. Even a ck hole would be nothing more than a toy to him, posing no threat.


    But this ck made Lin Yuan feel a bit uncertain.


    The fact that it could so easily withstand a strike from Lin Yuan''s billion spaceyers of power wasparable to some small secret realms.


    "Anyway, it''s just a Primordial Spirit."


    After contemting for a moment, Lin Yuan carefully stored all the treasures he was carrying in a particr spaceyer. He also hid a drop of his own blood in a different location.


    This way, even if the worst-case scenario urred and his Yang Primordial Spirit perished on the ck, he could quickly regenerate through the drop of blood, ensuring that the numerous treasures he brought from the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm would not be lost.


    With all preparations in ce, Lin Yuan slowly approached the ck.


    Buzz.


    As Lin Yuan drew closer, he faintly sensed the shifting of time and space.


    The ck, which appeared only about a million miles in size from a distance, suddenly seemed towering and vast.


    "It contains such profound applications of spacews?" Lin Yuan was astonished; this level of maniption of spacews was far beyond his capability.


    "Is time also changing?" Lin Yuan also sensed a difference in the flow of time.


    However,pared to the external flow of time, the difference wasn''t significant, possibly because Lin Yuan had not yet entered a key area within the. R


    Boom.


    After a moment, Lin Yuan finally descended onto the ck.


    The surroundings were mostlyposed of ck rocks, with asional clusters of ancient buildings, all of which had been abandoned. Lin Yuan explored them carefully but found nothing of value.


    After more than half a day, Lin Yuan arrived at the center of the.


    Here, a ck valley was situated, and a mysterious, ancient aura began to permeate the air.


    Lin Yuan walked into the valley and discovered twelverge ck doors standing tall within.


    The doors were tightly shut, their surfaces etched with intricate patterns.


    Lin Yuan focused on the pattern on the first ck door to his left.


    Before long, a cryptic message entered Lin Yuan''s mind.


    "Only those whoprehend thews of life and death can enter."


    "Hmm?" Lin Yuan''s expression became serious.


    Thews of life and death? This is one of the fusionws, born from the fusion of thews of life and thews of death.


    Thew of life is one of the pirs of the universe, as is thew of death.


    When these two pirws are sessfully fused, the resultingw of life and death immediately grants the individual peak tenth-rank power.


    In other words, A-level tenth rank.


    "Only peak tenth-rank beings can enter this ck door?" Lin Yuan frowned.


    Then he looked at the second ck door on his left.


    A momentter, another cryptic message entered his mind.


    "Only those whoprehend thews of great destruction can enter."


    "Thews of great destruction?" Lin Yuan sighed inwardly.


    This is also a type of fusionw, and one particrly skilled in ughter, born from the fusion of two pirws that lean toward destructive power.


    Comprehending this fusionw would also make one an A-level tenth rank, and a powerful one at that.


    Lin Yuan continued to observe the remaining ten ck doors.


    Without exception, the conditions for entering each of these doors were based onprehending a specific fusionw.


    "Even for an A-level tenth rank, this only qualifies them to enter the ck door. Whether or not they can actually enter depends on the specific fusionw they''veprehended."


    Lin Yuan mused to himself.


    There was no doubt that the twelve ck doors corresponded to extremely high-level fusionws. Comprehending any one of them would allow someone to be an A-level tenth rank.


    But not all A-level tenth-rank experts necessarilyprehend one of these twelve fusionws.


    "Forcing my way in won''t work..."


    Lin Yuan took another look. Since the information on the ck doors indicated that one mustprehend the corresponding fusionw to enter, it was clear that without thisprehension, entry was impossible.


    This was a restriction even for A-level tenth ranks, let alone for someone of Lin Yuan''s current strength, which was still below that level.


    Lin Yuan could surpass Deputy Tower Master Nn, who was also an A-level tenth rank, only because they wereparing their understanding of thews of time. If it came to a full-on battle, where all means were allowed, Lin Yuan would certainly be no match for Nn.


    Of course, while Lin Yuan couldn''t defeat Nn, it would also be difficult for Nn to kill Lin Yuan. With the "Steps of Space and Time" technique, Lin Yuan was confident that even an eleventh-rank expert would not be able to kill him. At most, Nn could defeat him.


    After wandering around the ck a few more times without making any other discoveries, Lin Yuan decided to leave the and return to the starry sky.


    "Let''s see if I can bring it into my internal world."


    Lin Yuan looked at the distant ck. He knew that, based on his findings so far, the value of this ck was no less than that of a supreme eleven-star cosmic treasure like the World Tree.


    The twelve ck doors, which required A-level tenth-rankprehension just to qualify for entry, undoubtedly contained some kind of opportunity within.


    Buzzing.


    Spatial fluctuations slowly rippled through the area.


    Even with Lin Yuan exerting all his power to activate his internal world, he was unable to bring the ck into it.


    The ck seemed to act like an "anchor," tightly connected to countlessyers of space.


    For Lin Yuan to bring the ck into his internal world, it would be equivalent to incorporating this entire star domain and countlessyers of space along with it.


    The difficulty was too great.


    Even if Lin Yuan could do it, he wouldn''t. The disturbance it would cause would be impossible to conceal. Taking away arge section of a star domain and spaceyers in one go would likely prompt the three goddesses to question what Lin Yuan was up to.


    "Can''t bring it into my internal world?"


    Lin Yuan found this situation troublesome. This meant that the ck would have to remain where it was.


    Although it hadn''t been discovered by other powerful beings for many years, that didn''t mean it would remain hidden forever.


    "I could ''rent'' this nearby star domain."


    "In doing so, I would gain the usage rights to all thes in this star domain."


    After thinking for a moment, Lin Yuan came up with apromise.


    As long as it was within the boundaries of human civilization, one had to follow the charterws, which even eleventh-rank experts couldn''t vite.


    Once Lin Yuan became the temporary owner of this star domain, in theory, the ck would also belong to him. No one else would be allowed to encroach on it, as that would mean going against human civilization.


    "Let''s see if this star domain has an ''owner'' already." Lin Yuan immediately connected to the virtual world to check the information on this star domain.


    This star domain was incredibly barren and deste, so it was unlikely that anyone would have an interest in it. After all, renting a star domain wasn''t cheap.


    If this star domain had already been rented, it would indicate that someone else had discovered the uniqueness of the ck long ago. In that case, obtaining ownership of the ck would be much more troublesome for Lin Yuan.


    Soon, Lin Yuan input the coordinates of this star domain and waited for the virtual worldwork to respond.


    "Honorable Milky Way Star Lord, this star domain does not currently have an ''owner.'' Would you like to ''rent'' it?"


    An electronic voice asked.


    "Rent it," Lin Yuan sighed in relief and immediately responded.


    "This star domain has a diameter of 12.35 light-years. Please select the rental duration."


    "One thousand years," Lin Yuan thought for a moment.


    A thousand years in the main universe would be enough time for him to fully uncover the secrets of the ck.


    Even if he hadn''t uncovered everything by then, Lin Yuan could always extend the rental period.


    "The rental fee is 8,000 universe crystals. Would you like to proceed with the payment?" the electronic voice asked again.


    "Pay," Lin Yuan responded quickly.


    Soon, 8,000 universe crystals were deducted from his ount, and the ownership of this deste star domain was transferred to Lin Yuan.


    Ownership changes of star domains were verymon in human civilization, with numerous transactions happening every second. Lin Yuan also chose to keep his information hidden, so his name wouldn''t appear on the public list.


    Therefore, outsiders would have no idea that this star domain now belonged to Lin Yuan.


    "Done," Lin Yuan smiled.


    From now on, he would be the owner of this star domain for the next thousand years.


    In other words, he was now the owner of the ck.


    "8,000 universe crystals for this ck? Definitely worth it," Lin Yuan was delighted.


    8,000 universe crystals were merely the worth of an ordinary eighth-rank evolver, whereas the ck required an A-level tenth rank just to begin exploration.


    Standing under the starry sky, Lin Yuan looked at the distant ck.


    "Actually, discovering this ck is incredibly difficult. At the very least, it would require a tenth-rank evolver passing through this star domain, happening to be near the ck, and scanning it closely to notice anything unusual."


    Lin Yuan pondered.


    He was not an ordinary ninth-rank; his perception was on par with that of a tenth-rank evolver.


    And as for tenth-rank evolvers? How many tenth-rank evolvers did human civilization have? Moreover, human civilization''s territory was vast, spanning billions of light-years. Most tenth-rank experts traveled by teleporting across thousands of light-years at a time.


    Landing nearby by chance was incredibly unlikely.


    Lin Yuan''s discovery of the anomaly in the ck owed much to luck.


    This was why Lin Yuan was grateful for the "chance encounter" he had stumbled upon.


    As everyone knows, "chance encounters" require a lot of luck.


    Without luck, even if a "chance encounter" were right in front of you, you wouldn''t recognize it.


    After confirming the ownership of this star domain, Lin Yuan left a monitoring measure near the ck.


    If any life forms approached, Lin Yuan would be immediately alerted.


    Given the ck''s uniqueness, even Lin Yuan couldn''t forcefully move it, so other ninth- or tenth-rank experts would have no chance of secretly relocating it. That would be nothing short of a fool''s dream.


    The monitoring measure Lin Yuan left behind was mainly for early warning.


    Besides preventing other life forms from getting close, it was also crucial to track the position of the ck.


    The universe as a whole is in constant motion, and countlesss are no exception. Lin Yuan was concerned that if he wasn''t paying attention, the ck might move on its own.


    Of course, this was unlikely. Whiles are constantly moving, Lin Yuan had already rented the surrounding star domain.


    Given the ck''s slow movement speed, it would take millions or even tens of millions of years to move even one light-year.


    Soon, Lin Yuan''s Yang Primordial Spirit returned to the Milky Way''s main star.


    In the Star Lord''s Hall, Lin Yuan''s true body and Yang Primordial Spirit sat facing each other.


    Whoosh.


    The numerous Mysterious Emperor Crystals and treasure weapons were handed over by the Yang Primordial Spirit to the true body.


    At the same time, the mysterious gourd fell into the hands of the Yang Primordial Spirit.


    After the ninth transmigration ended, Lin Yuan made significant progress in absorbing the liquid inside the mysterious gourd while in the transmigration world.


    The Yang Primordial Spirit and the other two Primordial Spirits had yet to absorb the liquid within the gourd to increase the size of their internal worlds to their limits.


    Over the past twenty years, Lin Yuan''s internal world had grown to a size of 212 million miles in radius, and the absorption of the seventh drop of purple liquid had reached halfway.


    A monthter, the internal world of the Yang Primordial Spirit reached its limit.


    He then headed to the alien battlefield, swapping ces with the Yin Primordial Spirit for further enhancement.


    In the virtual world.


    Aside from cultivating andprehending the Dao, Lin Yuan asionally rxed by connecting to the virtual world.


    One day, while Lin Yuan was enjoying some food in his personal space, the ck Star Lord invited him to another personal space.


    Lin Yuan epted the invitation.


    Soon, he arrived at a courtyard with a traditional, ancient aesthetic.


    The ck Star Lord, the zed Star Lord, and the Skull Elder, along with a few other A-level tenth ranks, were chatting there.


    The ck Star Lord and the others formed a small circle that only A-level tenth ranks could join. Although Lin Yuan was still only at the ninth rank, his future advancement to A-level tenth rank was almost certain.


    The ck Star Lord and the others were happy to invite Lin Yuan to join them.


    "Hahaha, the Milky Way Star Lord is here," the ck Star Lord smiled as he saw Lin Yuan.


    The ck Star Lord belonged to the Hei Yuan Evolution Tower, while the zed Star Lord came from another evolution tower. Strictly speaking, Lin Yuan should be part of the Xiayou Evolution Tower.


    However, since they were all human evolvers, there were no barriers between them.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, I heard that Deputy Tower Master Nn has stepped down," the zed Star Lord said, looking at Lin Yuan with a gentle gaze.


    Deputy Tower Master Nn was the deputy tower master of the Xiayou Evolution Tower and held significant influence in the circle of tenth-rank experts within human civilization.


    This was mainly because Deputy Tower Master Nn was incredibly powerful, ranking among the top 100 on the A-level threat listpiled by alien races.


    "Deputy Tower Master Nn stepped down?" Lin Yuan was surprised.


    He had met Deputy Tower Master Nn not long ago, and they had even sparred in their understanding of the timews.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, you should know that once someone takes on the position of deputy tower master, it''s rare for them to be reced in the middle of their tenure," the ck Star Lord smiled.


    "What do you mean?" Lin Yuan asked, somewhat puzzled.


    "Deputy Tower Master Nn is likely on the verge of advancing to the eleventh rank," the Skull Elder sighed, his expression showing envy.


    The deputy tower master positions of the nine evolution towers were all held by tenth-rank evolvers.


    Once a deputy tower master advanced to the eleventh rank, they would automatically step down, as eleventh-rank evolvers had more important responsibilities, such as preparing to reach the ultimate rank or guardingrge-scale alien battlefields.


    Deputy Tower Master Nn still had a long time before reaching the end of his lifespan and hadn''t made any major mistakes.


    If he had suddenly stepped down for no reason, and the Strongest One had agreed, it could only mean that he was about to advance to the eleventh rank.


    "The eleventh rank..." the ck Star Lord sighed.


    As A-level tenth ranks, they all had the potential to advance to the eleventh rank, but having the potential was one thing; the timing of the breakthrough was another.


    Seeing Deputy Tower Master Nn take the lead naturally stirred mixed feelings among the group.


    "Deputy Tower Master Nn had been stuck at the bottleneck of the key fusion rule for many years. How did he suddenly break through?" the zed Star Lord couldn''t help but ask.


    "Who knows?" the Skull Elder shook his head. "Maybe he was stimted by something."


    "When you get a chance, Milky Way Star Lord, could you ask Deputy Tower Master Nn how he managed to break through that bottleneck?" the zed Star Lord said softly, looking at Lin Yuan.


    Lin Yuan belonged to the Xiayou Evolution Tower, and Deputy Tower Master Nn was the deputy tower master of the Xiayou Evolution Tower. Their rtionship was naturally closer than that of the others.


    "Sure."


    "If I meet Deputy Tower Master Nn, I''ll definitely ask."


    Lin Yuan nodded. He was curious to know how Deputy Tower Master Nn had broken through as well.


    Although he didn''t need the information now, it wouldn''t hurt to learn more.


    "By the way, Milky Way Star Lord, you''re about to reach the tenth rank soon, right?" the ck Star Lord suddenly asked.


    Given the foundation Lin Yuan had shown in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, with the development of two billionyers of space, reaching the tenth rank would probably be as easy as eating or drinking for him.


    "Yes, with the Milky Way Star Lord''s talent, you might even reach the eleventh rank ahead of us," the Skull Elder joked.


    It was just a casual remark. Among the A-level tenth ranks present, any one of them could, like Deputy Tower Master Nn, suddenly break through to the eleventh rank after a period of seclusion.


    Although Lin Yuan was currently only at the ninth rank, even if he advanced to the tenth rank, there was still a long way to go.


    After chatting with his friends for a while, Lin Yuan disconnected from the virtual world and resumed his cultivation and Daoprehension.


    The news of Deputy Tower Master Nn''s breakthrough greatly motivated Lin Yuan.


    "The two-thousandth new model of the timew... Is it a loop? A serpent ring?"


    In Lin Yuan''s mind, theplete image of the long river of time kept appearing. Overall, the river of time flows continuously, from the ancient past to the distant future.


    But in reality, within certain sections of the river, time takes the form of a serpent ring, where the head meets the tail.


    "In other words, time is a closed loop. No matter where you start, you eventually return to the same point?" Lin Yuan pondered, his mind filled with a flood of insights.


    As he continued to meditate, Lin Yuan''s understanding of the timews rapidly deepened.


    ...

 Chapter 353

    Whoosh!


    In front of Lin Yuan, a gray, hazy sphere hovered in mid-air. It was the "Microcosm" he had obtained from the Devil Jade Tower.


    While revisiting the many profound aspects of the long river of time, Lin Yuan would often meditate on this "Microcosm."


    Although theplete time rules within the "Microcosm" were far less vast than those of the true long river of time, the advantage was that Lin Yuan could observe them at any moment.


    As for the long river of time? No matter how much Lin Yuan tried to revisit it, he could only catch brief fragments of it. The countless subtle changes derived from the long river of time were beyond his understanding.


    "If I could visit the ''shore'' again, I could probablyprehend the time rules even faster," Lin Yuan thought to himself. However, he was also aware that the Strongest One, Xia Qin, had likely paid a high price to help him escape the long river of time''s constraints. It wouldn''t be appropriate to ask for such a favor again now.


    Whether or not the Strongest One could maintain peakbat strength was of great importance to human civilization. The state of Xia Qin, the Strongest One, was directly tied to the stability of the human civilization''s border regions, especially near the territories of the two great peak races.


    Buzz.


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness seeped into the Microcosm, observing the specific operation of the time rules within it.Inside the gray, hazy sphere, there were several hundred light-years of space, resembling the main universe in some ways. There were stars, normals, and, moremonly, deste starry skies.


    "Time rules also have this aspect?" The more Lin Yuan observed, the more insights he gained.


    Having seen theplete long river of time, Lin Yuan''s understanding of the essence of time rules had greatly deepened.


    It was as if he had found a direction; Lin Yuan now knew which direction was the most urate target forprehending time rules.


    The questions he couldn''t understand or found confusing when observing the Microcosm before were now quickly resolved.


    "Time and space, and thebination of many fundamental rules, together maintain a certain bnce, which prevents this Microcosm from copsing?"


    Lin Yuan was deeply shaken.


    Although eighth-rank evolvers could open up an internal world, that world was entirely dependent on the main universe. Even the creator of the internal world didn''t fully understand its principles.


    It''s like using a high-tech product¡ªyou might know how to use it, but you wouldn''t understand the underlying principles or the numerous scientific fields involved in its creation.


    This Microcosm, however, was something that the master of the Devil Jade Tower had spent a million years perfecting.


    Though it was far smaller and less powerful than the internal universes of the Strongest Ones, its essence was simr.


    That''s why the humanoid statue, Shen Ji, decided to present this treasure.


    In Shen Ji''s view, the Microcosm couldn''t strictly be considered an eleven-star treasure anymore.


    It was entirely independent, with many rules operating on their own, unaffected by external factors.


    In contrast, the internal worlds of eighth, ninth, tenth, and even eleventh-rank experts were still subsidiary worlds of the main universe. If the main universe were destroyed, all these subsidiary worlds would be destroyed as well.


    "The Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm?"


    Lin Yuan suddenly thought of the inheritance secret realm left behind by His Majesty, the Mysterious Sovereign.


    The Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm was entirely dependent on the main universe, but it seemed capable of avoiding the effects of the main universe.


    At least, Lin Yuan had learned from the six-armed figure that the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm had existed for several cosmic eras.


    What is a cosmic era? Each cycle of the universe from birth to destruction is one cosmic era.


    But even though the main universe had been destroyed several times, the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm still existed.


    "Perhaps this is also one of His Majesty''s methods?"


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts paused for just a moment before he immersed himself again in observing and understanding the Microcosm.


    Matters like the destruction and rebirth of the universe were still far too distant for Lin Yuan; these were issues only the Strongest Ones were qualified to face.


    "The 2,001st new model of the time rule."


    "The 2,002nd new model of the time rule..."


    Lin Yuan''sprehension of time rules skyrocketed, quickly developing five new time rule models, bringing him significantly closer to fully understanding time rules.


    "Time... Space..."


    Lin Yuan continued to observe the Microcosm, simultaneouslyprehending both time and space rules.


    As his understanding deepened, Lin Yuan vaguely noticed that the foundational rules of the Microcosm heavily relied on space rules as well.


    "Space... Space..."


    Lin Yuan''s eyes grew brighter. Over the years, he had never stopped contemting space rules and frequently revisited the "Void Interpretation" left by the master of the Devil Jade Tower.


    "Space rules... Gold rules..." Lin Yuan''s mind was filled with a flood of insights regarding these two rules.


    Space rules were pir rules, while gold rules were fundamental rules.


    [Your Unrivaled Insight allows you to gradually understand the essence of both rules and begin to merge them.]


    [Your Unrivaled Insight allows you to gradually understand the essence of both rules and begin to merge them.]


    [Your Unrivaled Insight allows you to gradually understand the essence of both rules and sessfully merge them.]


    In an instant, a brand new rule power was born within Lin Yuan, sharp and intense, as if it could tear through endless space.


    "Hmm?"


    "I wasprehending time rules, but I ended up understanding a fusion rule instead, and it''s a fusion rule based on a pir rule?"


    Lin Yuan was momentarily stunned but soon filled with joy.


    Fusion rules are the domain explored by tenth-rank beings.


    Fusion rules generallye in three tiers:


    From weakest to strongest, they are: fusion of fundamental rules, fusion of pir rules with fundamental rules, fusion of pir rules with other pir rules.


    The strongest fusion rules, those merging two pir rules, only requireprehension of one to ce a being among the A-level tenth ranks.


    A fusion of a pir rule with a fundamental rule would ce someone at least in the C-level of the tenth rank, with some being strong enough to enter the B-level.


    Normally, a ninth-rank expert would not be able toprehend fusion rules.


    This is because their realm isn''t high enough; the main focus of a ninth-rank being is to continually open up spaceyers, making their internal world increasingly vast. This is the foundation for breaking through to the tenth rank.


    But Lin Yuan''s foundation was incredibly deep. Although he was in the ninth rank, his understanding of space rules and many fundamental rules was no weaker than that of tenth-rank experts.


    "The rule formed by the fusion of space rules and gold rules is the ''Space Disintegration'' rule?" Lin Yuan quickly found the corresponding fusion rule in the human civilization''s database.


    Even when the same rules are merged, different fusion rules can be created.


    For example, the fusion of space rules and gold rules can produce not only the "Space Disintegration" rule but also the "Space Fragmentation" rule, the "Space Gold de" rule, and others.


    "Space Disintegration is a fusion rule in the domain of attack, with terrifying destructive power, and is considered one of the top rules in the second tier of fusion rules."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Comprehending the Space Disintegration rule greatly enhanced Lin Yuan''sbat power. When fully unleashed, it wouldn''t be much weaker than that of a B-level tenth rank.


    It''s important to remember that Lin Yuan was still at the ninth rank, with a significant gap to the tenth rank. Even though heprehended the Space Disintegration rule, he theoretically shouldn''t be anywhere near a B-level tenth rank''s power.


    It''s like the difference between a sharp de in the hands of a child versus an adult¡ªthe potential is vastly different.


    However, Lin Yuan''s umtion in other areas was also immense.


    Taking everything into ount, he was roughly on par with an average B-level tenth rank.


    "If I can reach the tenth rank, with my body, soul, mind, will, and internal world all undergoing transformation, wouldn''t I be able to match an A-level tenth rank?"


    The thought excited Lin Yuan.


    Breaking through to the tenth rank and immediately possessing A-level tenth rankbat power?


    This had never been recorded in the history of the universe.


    Comprehending the Space Disintegration rule was a pleasant surprise for Lin Yuan.


    He had been focused on understanding time rules, but unexpectedly, he had stumbled upon this fusion rule. It was something he hadn''t anticipated at all.


    But since he hadprehended it, it was naturally a good thing.


    Just as Lin Yuan was about to continue his meditation...


    "Hmm?"


    "The information about that ck has been found?"


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts shifted, and he immediately contacted the Goddess of Wisdom.


    After confirming that he had the ''rental rights'' to that star domain, Lin Yuan had reached out to the Goddess of Wisdom, hoping to leverage the vast database of human civilization to uncover the ck''s origins.


    This was something Lin Yuan would do whenever he encountered an unknown treasure or item.


    When Lin Yuan had swept through the Milky Way Star Domain and obtained the mysterious gourd, he had immediately uploaded its image to the Goddess of Wisdom.


    However, the database of human civilization had no records of the mysterious gourd.


    But this ck had apparently yielded some relevant information from the Goddess of Wisdom.


    "Honorable Eighth-Level Citizen and Great Schr Lin Yuan, the ck you inquired about is suspected to be one of the treasures that fell into the universe from beyond, predating the birth of human civilization."


    The voice of the Goddess of Wisdom was solemn and cold.


    "A treasure that fell into the universe from beyond, before the birth of human civilization?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression grew serious.


    The permanent space rifts in the main universe connect to the outside of the universe, and asionally, objects would drift in.


    Just over a hundred years ago, the remains of a Strongest One had entered this way, leading to a battle among the Strongest Ones from various peak race alliances.


    Soon, the Goddess of Wisdom transmitted all the information rted to the ck to Lin Yuan.


    "So that''s how it is," Lin Yuan muttered in realization.


    Human civilization had only existed for a little over two million years, but before that, the universe had already been teeming withpetition among various races, each led by their respective Strongest Ones.


    Then came the event where numerous treasures from beyond the universe began to fall through the permanent space rifts.


    Countless treasures, someparable to eleven-star and even twelve-star treasures, continuously fell into the universe, driving the Strongest Ones of that time into a frenzy.


    An eleven-star treasure might not be enough to entice a Strongest One, but a twelve-star or a top-tier twelve-star treasure could definitely stir their greed.


    This event triggered a series of catastrophic battles among all the Strongest Ones in the universe.


    The battles were incredibly brutal, leading to the annihtion of entire powerful races and severely injuring many Strongest Ones. The treasures that fell during the battles were scattered across the universe.


    Many historical schrs within human civilization had repeatedly studied that great battle and drawn some conclusions. One such conclusion was that human civilization''s rise had been facilitated by that very conflict.


    Without that battle, where the Strongest Ones fought with all their might and half of the universe''s races were wiped out, human civilization''s rise would have been much slower, even if it still managed to emerge.


    In simple terms, human civilization''s current prosperity was, in a way, a "dividend" from that great war.


    The architectural style on the ck bore simrities to the style of many of the treasures that had fallen into the universe from beyond during that period.


    "A battle where even the Strongest Ones were severely injured..." Lin Yuan felt a shiver run through him.


    Having briefly escaped the constraints of the long river of time and seen the true forms of those Strongest Ones on the "shore," Lin Yuan had a clear understanding of the immense power of twelfth-rank beings.


    The idea of a battle so fierce that it could severely injure the Strongest Ones was unimaginable.


    However, it also highlighted the incredible value of those treasures that had fallen from beyond the universe.


    If not for the real benefits and rewards at stake, why would the Strongest Ones engage in such an all-out fight?


    "The ck... it should be one of those many treasures that fell. The fighting among the Strongest Ones scattered the treasures across the universe."


    "And these treasures naturally have the ability to conceal their presence. Even a Strongest One might not notice them unless they got close."


    Lin Yuan thought silently, feeling a bit lucky.


    After such a long time, most of those scattered treasures had already been discovered. Even if some had slipped through the cracks, they would be incredibly rare and likely hidden in extremely inconspicuous ces.


    Yet, he had managed to find one.


    "Honorable Eighth-Level Citizen and Great Schr Lin Yuan, this ck is rted to secrets that predate the birth of human civilization. Would you like to offer it to human civilization for exploration in exchange for arge number of merit points?"


    The voice of the Goddess of Wisdom spoke again.


    This was a standard procedure. Whenever an evolver of human civilization discovered a special or relic while exploring an unknown star domain, the Goddess of Wisdom would offer this option.


    The discoverer could agree or decline.


    "How many merit points could I exchange for?" Lin Yuan asked, intrigued.


    If the merit points were sufficient, he wouldn''t mind offering the ck to human civilization.


    After all, it was just a matter of the right price.


    "A rough estimate ces the value at five hundred million merit points," the Goddess of Wisdom replied.


    "Five hundred million merit points?" Lin Yuan was slightly astonished.


    That was indeed a massive sum of merit points. The Martial Dao Ninth Rank Chapter he had created was worth how many merit points?


    Only one hundred million merit points.


    Combined with the bloodline cultivation path, he had ultimately earned two hundred million merit points.


    And now, this ck alone was worth five hundred million merit points.


    To put this in perspective, even a top-tier eleven-star cosmic treasure like the World Tree wasn''t valued at five hundred million merit points.


    "Five hundred million merit points might be a lot, but they don''t hold much meaning for me," Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    To advance from an eighth-level citizen to a ninth-level citizen required a total of one billion merit points.


    Even if Lin Yuan gained an extra five hundred million merit points, he would still be far from reaching the ninth-level citizen status.


    As for using the merit points to exchange for the cosmic treasures cataloged by human civilization? Lin Yuan''s cultivation was currently progressing smoothly, and he wasn''t particrly in need of any treasures.


    Moreover, most of these treasures could be purchased with universe crystals, thanks to Lin Yuan''s status and privileges, without having to spend merit points.


    There was no need to waste merit points.


    "I''ll think about it," Lin Yuan casually responded to the Goddess of Wisdom.


    He nned to wait until he reached the tenth rank andprehended the corresponding fusion rules. After personally exploring the ck, he would decide whether to sell it to human civilization.


    After all, the ck wasn''t going anywhere.


    Given the Goddess of Wisdom''s appraisal, it wouldn''t lose value no matter when he decided to sell it¡ªunless Lin Yuan took the important treasures from within, causing its value to plummet.


    A monthter.


    While Lin Yuan was cultivating, he received news that the former Deputy Tower Master of the Xiayou Evolution Tower, Nn, had advanced to the eleventh rank.


    Eleventh-rank evolvers were the strongestbatants in human civilization, second only to the Strongest Ones.


    The emergence of each new eleventh-rank evolver was a grand event for human civilization, increasing the likelihood of a tenth Strongest One emerging in the future.


    Therefore, every new eleventh-rank evolver would hold a celebratory event.


    At that time, many forces within human civilization woulde to offer their congrattions, and even powerful figures from alien races that were not particrly hostile to human civilization would attend.


    In the virtual world, Lin Yuan was naturally invited to attend Deputy Tower Master Nn''s celebration.


    "So many people?" Lin Yuan appeared in a specially created virtual world, a gxy where countless guests who came to offer their congrattions were seated on differents. Given Lin Yuan''s status and strength, he was naturally seated on one of the most centrals.


    "Milky Way Star Lord."


    "Milky Way Star Lord, you''re here too?"


    When the ck Star Lord, zed Star Lord, and other A-level tenth ranks saw Lin Yuan, they immediately waved him over.


    "See? Was my prediction urate? Deputy Tower Master Nn really broke through to the eleventh rank," the ck Star Lord immediately said.


    Not long ago, after hearing that Deputy Tower Master Nn had stepped down, he had spected with Lin Yuan and others that human civilization might soon have a new eleventh-rank evolver.


    With a smile on his face, Lin Yuan casually chatted with the ck Star Lord and the others.


    After a while, the ck Star Lord nced at the center of the and said, "It''s about time we go congratte Deputy Tower Master Nn."


    As the main focus of the celebration, Deputy Tower Master Nn was at the center of the, chatting with important guests who hade to offer their congrattions.


    Whoosh.


    Lin Yuan and the others immediately stood up and flew toward the center.


    "Congrattions, Nn, on reaching the eleventh rank," the ck Star Lord, zed Star Lord, and others immediately offered their congrattions.


    As members of the small circle of A-level tenth ranks, the ck Star Lord and zed Star Lord were among those closest to reaching the eleventh rank.


    Before Deputy Tower Master Nn broke through, they had been on equal footing with him.


    But now, having advanced to the eleventh rank, Deputy Tower Master Nn had thoroughly surpassed them.


    "Hahaha, I look forward to seeing you all join me in the eleventh rank," Deputy Tower Master Nn said with a smile, clearly in a good mood.


    "Milky Way Star Lord." Deputy Tower Master Nn greeted Lin Yuan warmly as soon as he saw him. "After my breakthrough, the person I wanted to see most was the Milky Way Star Lord, but I''ve been too busy."


    Deputy Tower Master Nn smiled broadly at Lin Yuan, treating him with a level of respect very different from that shown to the ck Star Lord and other A-level tenth ranks.


    "Hmm?"


    The ck Star Lord and zed Star Lord exchanged nces. They could sense that Deputy Tower Master Nn held Lin Yuan in high regard, even seeing him as an equal.

 Chapter 354

    Within the upper echelons of human civilization, it was widely recognized that the Milky Way Star Lord had a strong chance of reaching the eleventh rank.


    However, a strong chance was still just a possibility¡ªafter all, the Milky Way Star Lord had not yet reached the eleventh rank, nor even the tenth rank.


    Given these circumstances, how could Deputy Tower Master Nn, who had just ascended to the eleventh rank, show such regard for the Milky Way Star Lord?


    The ck Star Lord and others were quietly astonished.


    It was no secret that the Milky Way Star Lord was highly valued by the Strongest One, Xia Qin. But in human civilization, strength was everything. Even if someone was the offspring of a Strongest One, without significant achievements, they wouldn''t be highly regarded by other evolvers.


    Now that Deputy Tower Master Nn had ascended to the eleventh rank, he had essentially reached the pinnacle of human civilization. He had no need to be overly concerned with the potential of the Milky Way Star Lord.


    Even if everything went smoothly in the future, the Milky Way Star Lord would only be at the same level as him.


    As for bing a Strongest One? Outsiders merely believed that the Milky Way Star Lord had the potential to challenge that rank, but no one could guarantee that he would actually seed.


    As the ck Star Lord and zed Star Lord watched Lin Yuan chatting pleasantly with Deputy Tower Master Nn, a thought crossed their minds.For the Milky Way Star Lord to be so highly regarded by a newly ascended eleventh-rank evolver, there must be some secret they were unaware of.


    On the other side, Deputy Tower Master Nn secretly transmitted a message, "Milky Way Star Lord, if it weren''t for you defeating me in that time rule sparring match, I wouldn''t have broken through so quickly."


    Deputy Tower Master Nn was deeply grateful to Lin Yuan. His recent breakthrough was indeed closely tied to the Milky Way Star Lord.


    Furthermore, that sparring match made Deputy Tower Master Nn realize Lin Yuan''s true potential.


    To reach such a level of understanding in time rules while only at the ninth rank¡ªwhat would the future hold for him?


    While others might think that the Milky Way Star Lord had a strong chance of reaching the eleventh rank, Deputy Tower Master Nn was convinced that, barring any unforeseen idents, the Milky Way Star Lord was certain to ascend to the eleventh rank.


    Moreover, even at the eleventh rank, the Milky Way Star Lord could swiftly rise to its peak.


    Even within the eleventh rank, there were significant differences. Some eleventh-rank beings had not fullyprehended the time rules, while others not only mastered time rules but also merged them with space rules. Some even possessed special techniques that allowed them to resist the Strongest Ones.


    "Even without me, with your foundation, you would have broken through soon enough," Lin Yuan replied immediately.


    Deputy Tower Master Nn''s breakthrough was partly due to the motivation from Lin Yuan, but more importantly, it was because of his own deep foundation. ?


    Thetter was the primary reason.


    "It''s different," Deputy Tower Master Nn shook his head.


    With his pride, if he hadn''t been defeated by someone at the ninth rank like Lin Yuan, he wouldn''t have undergone such a shift in mindset.


    "Regardless, I, Nn, owe you a favor, Milky Way Star Lord. If you ever need anything, just say the word," Deputy Tower Master Nn said solemnly.


    A favor from an eleventh-rank being was priceless. Eleventh-rank beings had incredibly long lifespans, and after mastering time rules, they could achieve a form of alternative immortality. With such a favor, who in human civilization would dare to provoke Lin Yuan in the future?


    After exchanging a few more pleasantries, other guests came to congratte Deputy Tower Master Nn.


    "I''ll let you attend to your guests," Lin Yuan said tactfully, then returned to his seat with the ck Star Lord and others.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, you and Deputy Tower Master Nn seem to have a good rtionship?" The ck Star Lord couldn''t help but ask.


    Deputy Tower Master Nn''s attitude toward Lin Yuan had been so unusual that the ck Star Lord was intensely curious.


    The zed Star Lord, sitting nearby, also looked at Lin Yuan with interest, wanting to understand why Deputy Tower Master Nn treated him that way.


    "Not bad. We''ve met a few times," Lin Yuan said after thinking for a moment. He had indeed only met Deputy Tower Master Nn a few times.


    "Just a few meetings, and he treats you like that?" The ck Star Lord shook his head in disbelief.


    When interacting with someone like him, an A-level tenth rank, Deputy Tower Master Nn had merely smiled and casually exchanged a few words. But with Lin Yuan, his enthusiasm was unmistakable¡ªit was obvious even to a fool.


    The difference in treatment was too stark.


    "I really don''t know why," Lin Yuan said, shaking his head. He didn''t mention the sparring match he had with Deputy Tower Master Nn.


    Firstly, it concerned Deputy Tower Master Nn''s pride.


    Secondly, Lin Yuan didn''t want to expose the depth of his understanding of time rules.


    Seeing Lin Yuan''s response, the ck Star Lord didn''t press further.


    The conversation quickly shifted to another topic.


    "A celebration for an eleventh-rank evolver¡ªit''s hard to say how many years it''ll be before the next one in human civilization."


    "There really are a lot of strong figures here today," the ck Star Lord remarked, chatting with Lin Yuan and others while surveying the guests around them.


    Lin Yuan nodded in agreement.


    Not long ago, his sister Lin Yi''s wedding had also attracted many powerful figures.


    Butpared to this celebration, it was clearly on a different scale.


    At least at the wedding, aside from the eleventh-rank elder of the Xia family, most eleventh-rank evolvers hadn''t attended in person, sending representatives instead.


    Now, however, many eleventh-rank evolvers, who were only known through legends, were present.


    "Milky Way Star Lord," a white-haired elder approached with a smile.


    "Vice President Luo," the ck Star Lord and others straightened up and immediately greeted him.


    This white-haired elder, surnamed Luo, was the Vice President of the Biluo Association and an A-level tenth-rank evolver.


    The Biluo Association was an incredibly powerful force within human civilization, second only to the nine Evolution Towers. The President of the Biluo Association was an eleventh-rank evolver, and a very powerful one at that.


    "Vice President Luo," Lin Yuan greeted as well.


    "I''ve long heard of the Milky Way Star Lord," Vice President Luo said kindly, "In this era of human civilization, your emergence has made it incredibly dazzling."


    No matter what achievements Lin Yuan would reach in the future, the series of myths he had created at the eighth and ninth ranks would ensure his ce in the history of human civilization, revered by countless future generations.


    "I''ve just been lucky," Lin Yuan said with a slight shake of his head.


    But Vice President Luo wasn''t wrong. At least in this era, within the next hundred thousand years, Lin Yuan''s fame would undoubtedly be among the greatest.


    Elsewhere on the, guests were seated ording to their status.


    Anyone allowed to sit on the central was no ordinary person, with both status and background ying a role.


    "Who is that, sitting with a group of A-level tenth-rank experts? Even the Vice President of the Biluo Association approached to chat with him?"


    "You don''t know who that is? That''s the Milky Way Star Lord, the greatest genius in the history of human civilization. Today, we''re celebrating Deputy Tower Master Nn''s advancement to the eleventh rank, but one day, it might be the Milky Way Star Lord''s turn."


    "But the Milky Way Star Lord is still at the ninth rank. The eleventh rank is still far away."


    "I believe that with his talent, reaching the eleventh rank is just a matter of time."


    "Indeed, the Milky Way Star Lord is so young, and with such achievements already, he''s destined to stand at the pinnacle of human civilization."


    Many guests were very optimistic about the Milky Way Star Lord, believing he had a great chance of reaching the eleventh rank. After all, how long had it been since the Milky Way Star Lord first rose to prominence?


    "Milky Way Star Lord, if you ever have time, you''re wee to visit the Biluo Association. Our President has mentioned you several times," Vice President Luo said as he prepared to leave.


    "I''ll be sure to visit if I get the chance," Lin Yuan nodded.


    The Biluo Association was most famous for controlling a medium-sized secret realm called the "Biluo Secret Realm."


    This secret realm was home to some unique indigenous life forms and had many resources beneficial to evolvers.


    Countless evolvers in human civilization longed to visit the Biluo Secret Realm, but very few had the opportunity.


    Now, the Vice President of the Biluo Association had personally invited Lin Yuan, a clear sign that the President of the Biluo Association held the Milky Way Star Lord in high regard.


    On the central, ninth-rank evolvers weremon, and only tenth-rank evolvers drew much attention.


    Just then, amotion arose in the distance.


    "The Patriarch of the Xuanyuan family has arrived."


    The ck Star Lord and zed Star Lord looked up.


    They saw a ck-haired man, dressed in a white robe, calmly descend onto the.


    "The Patriarch of the Xuanyuan family?"


    "The patriarch of the Xuanyuan family?"


    "One of the most powerful evolution families in human civilization?"


    "And a family directly descended from one of the Strongest Ones of human civilization?"


    Countless guests whispered among themselves. The few Strongest Ones in human civilization not only guarded the nine Evolution Towers but also had their own families.


    The Xuanyuan family was one of the most powerful and deeply rooted families in human civilization, with their founder being one of the Strongest Ones.


    "Patriarch Xuanyuan." Deputy Tower Master Nn personally greeted him.


    Patriarch Xuanyuan was himself an eleventh-rank evolver who had longprehended the time rules. Combined with his power, even Deputy Tower Master Nn didn''t dare show any disregard.


    Lin Yuan observed Patriarch Xuanyuan closely, as did the ck Star Lord.


    It was rare to have the opportunity to closely observe an eleventh-rank being who had mastered the time rules.


    After all, many eleventh-rank beings hadn''t fullyprehended the time rules.


    "When will I be able to master the time rules..." the ck Star Lord couldn''t help but mutter.


    As an A-level tenth rank, he was somewhat confident about reaching the eleventh rank, but mastering the time rules? That was far more uncertain.


    Not every eleventh-rank being could fullyprehend the time rules.


    Mastering the time rules had profound significance for any being, allowing them to slow down their own time flow and live much longer.


    It''s worth noting that for eleventh-rank beings aiming to reach the ultimate rank, timing and opportunity were crucial.


    This era might not offer a chance to reach the ultimate rank, but if they lived long enough, the next era might.


    So, living long enough meant infinite possibilities.


    "Indeed," Lin Yuan echoed.


    "Mastering the time rules is still quite difficult for us at the moment," the zed Star Lord added, speaking pragmatically.


    "True," the ck Star Lord said after thinking for a while, nodding in agreement.


    They weren''t even at the eleventh rank yet¡ªhow could they talk about mastering the time rules?


    They hadn''t even learned to walk, and they were thinking about running? It seemed a bit too ambitious.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, let''s not overthink it," the ck Star Lord said, looking at Lin Yuan.


    What he didn''t know was that Lin Yuan, sitting beside him, was only one step away from fully mastering the time rules.

 Chapter 355

    The celebration for Deputy Tower Master Nn''s advancement to the eleventh ranksted for more than half a month. The emergence of a new eleventh-rank evolver was a major event for all of human civilization, so it was naturally celebrated with great pomp and circumstance.


    Since the event was held in the virtual world, there was no concern about extravagance or waste¡ªit simplysted a bit longer than usual.


    For the evolvers of human civilization, this celebration was a rare opportunity to meet many high-ranking evolvers, making it an incredibly valuable experience.


    Lin Yuan only made an appearance on the first day of the celebration and then kept a low profile for the rest of the half-month event.


    With his understanding of the time rules nearingpletion, Lin Yuan was focused on spending all his time in deep meditation.


    "Milky Way Star Lord," Deputy Tower Master Nn approached Lin Yuan as soon as the celebration ended.


    "I was just too busy earlier," Nn apologized sincerely.


    After breaking through to the eleventh rank, most of his energy had been spent getting ustomed to his newfound power. The rest of his attention was taken up by the various responsibilities and changes that came with his new status as an eleventh-rank evolver.


    Had it not been for these obligations, Deputy Tower Master Nn would have sought out Lin Yuan immediately to personally express his gratitude."Congrattions again on reaching the eleventh rank, Deputy Tower Master Nn," Lin Yuan said with a smile.


    "The eleventh rank? For you, Milky Way Star Lord, it''s just a matter of time," Nn replied, unconcerned.


    There were some things he couldn''t say in front of others, as the Strongest One, Xia Qin, had specifically asked him to keep certain things confidential. But now, in the privacy of his personal space, Nn could speak freely.


    As a newly ascended eleventh-rank evolver, Nn carried a certain pride when dealing with others. Even when interacting with the A-level tenth ranks with whom he had once been equals, he now spoke to them from a position of superiority.


    But with the Milky Way Star Lord, Nn couldn''t muster that same pride.


    Pride in what? Pride in the fact that the Milky Way Star Lord had nearly mastered the time rules while still at the ninth rank? Pride that his understanding of time rules surpassed that of many eleventh-rank evolvers?


    In fact, when facing the Milky Way Star Lord, Nn felt a certain pressure¡ªan ever-present sense that he could be surpassed at any moment.


    "But at least within the next ten thousand years, the Milky Way Star Lord probably won''t reach the eleventh rank," Nn thought to himself.


    "Hopefully," Lin Yuan said with a smile.


    For him, reaching the eleventh rank was indeed not difficult. It was just a matter of following the necessary steps.


    The real challenge was bing a Strongest One, reaching the twelfth rank, and ultimately attaining the final, ultimate realm.


    "Seeing you, Milky Way Star Lord, I feel like I''m witnessing the future strength of human civilization," Nn said with some emotion. "It hasn''t been easy for our civilization to reach this point." ?


    "Indeed, it hasn''t," Lin Yuan agreed.


    After bing a Great Schr and advancing to an eighth-level citizen, many of the secrets of human civilization had been revealed to him.


    Even before Lin Yuan became an evolver, he knew that human civilization had taken only two million years to rise from its home, sweeping across the cosmos and bing one of the universe''s most powerful peak races.


    At first, Lin Yuan didn''t find anything strange about this. After all, to him at that time, two million years seemed like an incredibly long period.


    But as his strength and understanding grew, he realized the true significance behind that timeframe.


    Two million years might seem long to ordinary humans or second- and third-rank evolvers, but for high-ranking evolvers, it wasn''t an insurmountable span of time.


    An eighth-rank evolver could live for two or three million years, long enough to cover the entire history of humanity''s rise.


    Ninth-rank evolvers would live even longer.


    And tenth- and eleventh-rank evolvers? Especially thetter, who, after mastering time rules, could easily live for billions, trillions, or even longer spans of years.


    Some of the "ancient gods" in the depths of the cosmos had been born at the dawn of the universe and had lived through incredibly long epochs, yet they remained stuck at the eleventh rank.


    Of course, some of these powerful "ancient gods" were stuck at the eleventh rank not because they couldn''t attempt the final breakthrough but because they didn''t dare to.


    Attempting the final breakthrough and failing would result inplete annihtion, with no chance of resurrection by even the Strongest Ones.


    The first step in attempting the final breakthrough is to leap out of the river of timepletely. This leap includes erasing even the life imprint etched into the universe''s origin.


    If the attempt fails, everything will be utterly destroyed, including the life imprint.


    The Strongest Ones can only resurrect past lives by using life imprints as "waypoints."


    This is also why beings below the sixth rank cannot be resurrected¡ªtheir life imprints are too weak to form a "waypoint."


    For an eleventh-rank being to attempt the final breakthrough, the first step is to erase their own waypoint; only then can they make the ultimate leap to try and enter the realm of the Strongest Ones.


    As Lin Yuan''s strength grew, he encountered and understood more, which deepened his appreciation of how remarkable it was for human civilization to be a peak race and produce nine Strongest Ones in just over two million years.


    Other peak races in the universe, such as the Insect Race and the Tianyu Race, had histories spanning countless millions of years.


    But human civilization had achieved all this in just over two million years?


    ording to internal exnations within human civilization, this incredible achievement was due to an unprecedented opportunity that urred long ago.


    This opportunity had led to a great transformation among the life forms on the home¡ªthe early ancestors of what would be human civilization.


    It wasn''t until the first year of the Star Era that the first Strongest One was born, marking the beginning of humanity''s outward expansion.


    That''s right¡ªbefore the birth of the first Strongest One, human civilization didn''t even dare to make contact with the outside universe.


    The opportunity was so enormous that even the slightest leak would have led to their annihtion by every life form in the universe.


    In the first year of the Star Era, human civilization produced its first Strongest One.


    In the 1,300th year, the second Strongest One was born.


    In the 5,700th year, the third Strongest One was born.


    In the 11,000th year, the fourth Strongest One was born.


    In the 18,000th year, the fifth Strongest One was born.


    In the 20,000th year, the sixth Strongest One was born.


    In the 25,000th year, the seventh Strongest One was born.


    In the 38,000th year, the eighth Strongest One was born.


    In the 120,000th year, the ninth Strongest One was born.


    Due to that unprecedented opportunity, human civilization rapidly produced nine Strongest Ones in a short period.


    Of course, this was the peak period of human civilization.


    But before the first year of the Star Era, there had been a period of hibernation thatsted far longer than two million years.


    The two million years of the Star Era didn''t represent the entirety of human civilization''s history.


    In fact, the history of the home spanned over several billion years.


    "During the hibernation period, our civilization''s strong ones had to secretly leave the home, posing as wandering entities or even working for other alien races to earn cultivation resources. Even if they died, they couldn''t reveal their origins..."


    Lin Yuan said softly.


    "Yes," Deputy Tower Master Nn nodded.


    In those times, the geniuses of human civilization had to remain low-key, desperately hiding their talents, or else they risked being captured and enved by more powerful races.


    Unlike today, where countless human geniuses can emerge and thrive despite asional assassination attempts by alien races. Most attempts fail, and as long as one reaches the sixth rank, they have a chance of being resurrected by having their life imprint recorded.


    "I wonder what it was like when those countless treasures fell into the universe, bringing that extraordinary opportunity to human civilization," Deputy Tower Master Nn mused.


    "Countless treasures falling into the universe?" Lin Yuan''s mind stirred as he remembered the results from the Goddess of Wisdom''s investigation into the ck.


    "Are you referring to the event that wiped out ny percent of the universe''s races?" Lin Yuan asked.


    "You know about that, Milky Way Star Lord?" Nn was slightly surprised.


    He had only learned of these secrets after reaching the eleventh rank when his status and strength met the necessary threshold. He didn''t expect the Milky Way Star Lord to also know about it.


    But considering how much the Strongest One, Xia Qin, valued Lin Yuan, Nn understood.


    "Indeed."


    "I believe the unprecedented opportunity that our civilization received during the hibernation period came from that event," Nn said.


    It was just his spection, based on the various pieces of information he had learned.


    "I see," Lin Yuan thought, realizing why the Goddess of Wisdom had quickly identified the origins of the ck and immediately offered five hundred million merit points for it.


    "So my gourd..." Lin Yuan suddenly thought of the mysterious gourd he had obtained from sweeping through the Milky Way Star Domain.


    Although human civilization couldn''t find any information about the mysterious gourd, Lin Yuan instinctively felt that it might also be one of the countless treasures that fell into the universe.


    After all, Lin Yuan had been unable to find any information about the mysterious gourd, as if it didn''t belong to this universe at all.


    After Deputy Tower Master Nn left, Lin Yuan''s thoughts were slightly stirred.


    Nowadays, most citizens of human civilization only focus on the glorious achievements of the past two million years, where humanity swept through alien races and became a dominant force.


    But in reality, the much longer and more arduous hibernation period before the Star Era was just as significant.


    Even if they had been fortunate enough to receive an unprecedented opportunity, without enduring that difficult hibernation period, any precious opportunity would have been seized by stronger beings.


    "I must cherish the current environment for cultivation," Lin Yuan thought as he closed his eyes and resumed his meditation.


    Three years passed in the blink of an eye.


    Lin Yuan had now developed the 2,040th new time rule model.


    Only ten more models were needed for him to fullyprehend the time rules as he had anticipated.


    "The 2,041st time rule model... a well? A well of time?" Lin Yuan furrowed his brow as he attempted to construct this time rule model.


    But each attempt ended in failure.


    "The Well of Time..." Lin Yuan pondered deeply.


    "I should visit the fifth floor of the Devil Jade Tower again," Lin Yuan decided, letting his consciousness descend into the Devil Jade Space through the Devil Jade Mark.


    The fifth floor of the Devil Jade Tower required one to have mastered time rules to pass through.


    In other words, the time-rted challenges on the fifth floor were specifically designed for various stages of mastery over the time rules.


    By working backward from effect to cause andbining what he had learned from the Microcosm and the full view of the long river of time, Lin Yuan often gained significant insights.


    Soon, Lin Yuan arrived at the Devil Jade Tower.


    At that moment, the humanoid statue, Shen Ji, was chatting with a muscr man.


    The muscr man was named Yuan Jin, the second person in this universe to enter the Devil Jade Space. He had be a regr member of the Devil Jade Tower by perfecting a certain demonic evolution pathway.


    But even that couldn''tpare to someone like Lin Yuan, who had mastered 3,333 demonic evolution pathways.


    Even in the chaotic void, perfecting a demonic evolution pathway was a primary way to join the Devil Jade Tower.


    But to master 3,333 demonic evolution pathways? Among the 100,000 members of the Devil Jade Tower, not even one might achieve this.


    "You''re here?"


    Seeing Lin Yuan, the humanoid statue, Shen Ji, immediately stopped talking to the muscr man, Yuan Jin, and greeted Lin Yuan with a smile.


    Yuan Jin didn''t dare show any dissatisfaction. To him, Lin Yuan appeared to be an unfathomable eleventh-rank being¡ªsomeone he could only meet in this ce. Outside, not even his Yuan family would easily get the chance to meet an eleventh-rank evolver.


    So far, the number of publicly known eleventh-rank evolvers in human civilization didn''t exceed a thousand.


    A thousand might sound like a lot, but given the vast territory of human civilization, it''s difficult to say how many star alliances would have just one.


    Moreover, most of human civilization''s eleventh-rank evolvers were stationed onrge alien battlefields, with the rest mainly in the Central Star Region.


    In the four surrounding star regions, the eleventh-rank evolvers were mostly centered around the nine Evolution Towers.


    "I want to challenge the fifth floor again," Lin Yuan said directly.


    Now that he was familiar with the humanoid statue, Shen Ji, he could speak his mind freely.


    "Alright."


    "Go ahead," the humanoid statue, Shen Ji, nodded.


    The entrance to the Devil Jade Tower opened.


    As Yuan Jin watched cautiously, Lin Yuan walked into the Devil Jade Tower.


    At that moment, the humanoid statue, Shen Ji, watched the screen showing the fifth floor of the Devil Jade Tower.


    Yuan Jin stood beside him, unable to see what was happening on the fifth floor. He could only stand quietly in ce, gazing up at the faint light emanating from the fifth floor.


    Before long, the humanoid statue, Shen Ji, shook his head with some regret, "Just a little bit more."


    "Just a little bit?" Yuan Jin''s heart trembled.


    Just a little bit more, and he would have cleared the fifth floor?


    ording to the information about the Devil Jade Tower, clearing the fifth floor required mastering time rules.


    And mastering time rules made one a strong presence even among eleventh-rank evolvers.


    Was that man just now only a tiny step away from mastering the time rules?


    "I had just broken through to the ninth rank when I barely cleared the first floor..." Yuan Jin swallowed hard.


    To be able to perfect a demonic evolution pathway, his talent was naturally notcking, but even he had only barely cleared the first floor of the Devil Jade Tower after reaching the ninth rank.


    Whoosh.


    At that moment, Lin Yuan appeared outside the Devil Jade Tower.


    "In a little more time, it should be done," the humanoid statue, Shen Ji, said.


    If it were any other eleventh-rank being, he wouldn''t be so optimistic. The final bottleneck in mastering time rules had stumped countless powerful beings.


    But for Lin Yuan... The humanoid statue, Shen Ji, had no doubts.


    "Indeed."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    Suddenly, Lin Yuan nced at the muscr man, Yuan Jin, standing respectfully nearby.


    This man had been in the Devil Jade Space for quite some time, yet Lin Yuan hadn''t spoken to him much.


    Lin Yuan thought for a moment. Yuan Jin was, after all, a fellow human evolver, and as the only other person undergoing the trial in the Devil Jade Space, he decided to greet him.


    Of course, Lin Yuan knew that Yuan Jin was human and from human civilization.


    But Yuan Jin knew nothing about Lin Yuan, not even whether Lin Yuan was from the same universe as him.


    After all, as long as one could condense a Devil Jade Mark, their consciousness could descend here, regardless of which universe they were in, as long as they were on the same ne of existence.


    "Sir..."


    Yuan Jin was filled with both reverence and fear. What had he done to deserve being addressed by such a high-ranking eleventh-rank being?


    "You don''t have to be so formal," Lin Yuan said with a slight shake of his head. "We are both at the ninth rank. We canmunicate normally in the future."


    "Thank you, sir," Yuan Jin was about to respond in fear when his mind suddenly went nk.


    What did the man just say? You don''t have to be so formal? No, that wasn''t it.


    He said, "We are both at the ninth rank"?


    "We are both at the ninth rank"?


    "We are both at the ninth rank"?


    Yuan Jin was stunned.


    Ninth rank?


    Almost cleared the fifth floor of the ck Tower? Nearly mastered the time rules? Yuan Jin stood there, dazed, unable to process what he had just heard.


    This man was only at the ninth rank?


    Yuan Jin gathered the courage to voice his doubts.


    But when he looked up, Lin Yuan had already left, leaving only the humanoid statue, Shen Ji, smiling at him.


    "Was I just in an illusion?" Yuan Jin couldn''t help but ask the humanoid statue.


    As a ninth-rank evolver, even though he had just entered the ninth rank, he had a strong grasp of his soul, mind, and will.


    But what he had just heard was so unbelievable that he wondered if he had fallen into an illusion without realizing it.


    "No need to doubt," the humanoid statue, Shen Ji, said with a slight smile. "That man is indeed a ninth-rank being, but he is also the strongest ninth-rank being I''ve ever seen."


    "The strongest ninth-rank being?" Yuan Jin muttered to himself.


    So everything he had heard was true? Yuan Jin was overwhelmed with shock.


    A ninth-rank being about to master the time rules?


    What kind of monster was this? Even the Milky Way Star Lord, known as the greatest genius in the history of human civilization, couldn''t achieve that, right?


    Even though Yuan Jin was only a newly ascended ninth-rank, he knew that a ninth-rank being nearing mastery of the time rules was on apletely different level from an eleventh-rank being doing the same.


    The former was exponentially more difficult than thetter.


    Milky Way Main Star


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged in meditation.


    After challenging the fifth floor of the Devil Jade Tower again, his understanding of time rules had advanced rapidly once more.


    [Your Unrivaled Insight has allowed you toprehend the 2,041st new time rule model.]


    [Your Unrivaled Insight has allowed you toprehend the 2,043rd new time rule model.]

    [Your Unrivaled Insight has allowed you toprehend the 2,050th new time rule model.]


    [Your Unrivaled Insight has allowed you to fullyprehend the time rules.]


    In a moment of rity, Lin Yuan''s perception of the world changed.

 Chapter 356

    "Finally... I''ve fullyprehended the time rules."


    Lin Yuan was radiant with energy. To be able toprehend the time rules while still at the ninth rank was something unprecedented in the vast main universe.


    It was nearly impossible to achieve.


    Even in the records of the Devil Jade Tower and the Mysterious Emperor lineage, only the legendary innate time beings or a very few unique creatures had managed to do this.


    The so-called time beings are mysterious entities that can move back and forth along various timelines.


    The ultimate goal of a twelfth-rank Strongest One''s cultivation is to transform into a time being.


    "Time rules..." Lin Yuan closed his eyes.


    Afterprehending the time rules, Lin Yuan''s physical body and soul didn''t undergo any changes. However, he could distinctly sense the existence of the vast river of time.


    Beforeprehending the time rules, even an eleventh-rank evolver couldn''t perceive the river of time."Now, I can significantly slow down the flow of time for myself," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Before fullyprehending the time rules, Lin Yuan could already slow down time, but it was far from being significant.


    But now, Lin Yuan could slow down the passage of time he experienced by a thousandfold, ten-thousandfold, or even hundreds of thousands of times.


    While hundreds of thousands of years might pass in the outside world, Lin Yuan would only experience one year.


    This is the main way those ancient gods in the depths of the universe extend their lifespans.


    Some of these ancient gods have the conditions to attempt the final breakthrough but dare not try for fear of failure.


    So, they keep waiting for the right opportunity, using the technique of slowing down their personal time flow to survive eons.


    Of course, to these ancient gods, the time they experience might be just ten or dozens of years, while millions or billions of years pass in the main universe.


    "Slowing down time is useless for me," Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    He still had plenty of lifespan left, so there was no need for him to prolong it through such means.


    "The river of time?" Lin Yuan looked around and vaguely saw a mighty river flowing.


    After fullyprehending the time rules, the most crucial point was to realize that he was struggling within the river of time.


    Compared to when the Strongest One Xia Qin had helped him escape the constraints of the river of time and view it from the "shore," Lin Yuan''s current perspective was from within the river itself.


    The two perspectives were entirely different.


    Thetter offered much less depth and breadth than the former.


    "My form in the river of time is too small," Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    The stronger one''s power, therger their form in the river of time. Although Lin Yuan hadprehended the time rules, he was still just a ninth-rank being. ?


    Even though his life essence wasparable to that of an A-level tenth rank, he was still insignificant in the river of time.


    In the river of time, an ordinary eleventh-rank being could only be considered a "small fish." Only an eleventh-rank being who hadprehended the time rules could be called a "big fish."


    As for Lin Yuan? Although he hadprehended the time rules, his life essence was still too weak. He was probably just a tiny speck of dust in the river.


    "Earlier, when I observed the river from the ''shore,'' I saw a ''big fish'' that covered almost half the riverbed. I wonder what level of eleventh-rank being that was?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Since it was within the river of time, it was still an eleventh-rank being.


    However, to cover almost half the riverbed? That indicated a terrifyingly strong life essence.


    "The shore?" Lin Yuan tried to look toward the shore but found it blurry. Beings within the river couldn''t see the scene on the shore.


    "I could leap out briefly, but it''s not worth it," Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    A being who hasprehended the time rules can, with all their might, briefly leap out of the river of time, but doing so would draw the attention of the Strongest Ones on the shore.


    Lin Yuan wasn''t worried about the nine Strongest Ones of human civilization, but in this universe, there were other Strongest Ones... Some of whom harbored deep malice toward human civilization.


    "Reverse the flow?"


    Lin Yuan turned his gaze toward the distant past.


    Countless beings who had died in the past appeared before Lin Yuan, and the further back he looked, the more life shadows appeared.


    These beings all started from the sixth rank. Lin Yuan couldn''t see the shadows of those below the sixth rank.


    "In theory, I now have the ability to ''retrieve'' someone," Lin Yuan thought.


    However, in theory, even if Lin Yuan managed to "retrieve" a sixth-rank being, they would be instantly crushed by the bacsh from the main universe and the river of time.


    Even an eleventh-rank being can''t withstand the bacsh of reviving a sixth-rank being. So far, only the Strongest Ones can easily retrieve dead beings and bring them back to life in the current timeline.


    The Strongest Ones are immensely powerful. Only reviving an eleventh-rank being might make them exercise a little caution, and only if it''s a particrly terrifying eleventh-rank being.


    In the river of time.


    On the shore.


    The nine Strongest Ones of human civilization stood one after another.


    In the distance, the Strongest One Xia Qin did the same, quietly overlooking the river.


    Suddenly, Xia Qin''s expression shifted slightly.


    A faint ripple from the depths of the river of time made him aware that a certain being was trying to peer toward the shore.


    Typically, this ripple signified that a being hadprehended the time rules, realized they were just a "fish" in the river of time, and was attempting to look toward the shore.


    "Someone hasprehended the time rules?" Xia Qin''s thoughts spread out.


    In the past, he wouldn''t have thought much of it. The river of time is vast and boundless, epassing not only the present but also the countless beings of the past.


    An asional appearance of a being who hasprehended the time rules was not unusual.


    The fact that the other Strongest Ones hadn''t even bothered to react was evidence of that.


    But Xia Qin had a faint suspicion in his heart.


    Could it be that the being whoprehended the time rules this time was that little guy?


    Xia Qin''s heart began to feel a subtle sense of anticipation.


    Milky Way Main Star


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, sending a sliver of his consciousness into his inner world.


    As the time rules were fullyprehended, the inner world now had the time rules as a pir, joining the space rules and various other rules to support the inner world.


    Rumble.


    A special transformation urred within the inner world.


    From Lin Yuan''s direct perception, the inner world hadn''t grownrger, nor had the spaceyers increased.


    But with the integration of the time rules, Lin Yuan faintly sensed that the inner world was bing plete."


    It was as if the inner world had been "iplete" before, and only now had it finally been pleted," bing "whole."


    "So, this is the ''independence'' of the inner world?" Lin Yuan pondered.


    With the integration of time and space rules, the inner world''s space-time no longer depended on the main universe. In a strict sense, the inner world now existed on the same level as the main universe.


    Both were worlds with their own space-time.


    The difference was merely one of scale¡ªthe main universe being millions of timesrger than the inner world, but both were still worlds.


    Both were direct descendants of the chaotic void.


    "How wonderful, to have an independent inner world," Lin Yuan murmured. At this moment, his inner world could now iste itself from the perception of the main universe.


    It''s important to know that the main universe could previously sense everything in the inner world.


    For instance, when Lin Yuan returned from transmigration to the spirit realm, havingprehended dozens of cosmic powers, the main universe sensed it immediately, with the source power of the universe lingering outside the inner world.


    It was just waiting for Lin Yuan to open his inner world and allow those cosmic powers to adapt to the main universe.


    But now... Lin Yuan felt that even if his inner world contained treasures coveted by the main universe, they would no longer be detected.


    Because the inner world and the main universe were nowpletely isted¡ªboth "independent" and plete."


    "Although this doesn''t directly enhance mybat power, it gives me much more ''freedom,''" Lin Yuan smiled.


    Actually, saying that it didn''t enhance hisbat power wasn''t entirely urate. Afterprehending the time rules, Lin Yuan''s expertise in time had increased by leaps and bounds.


    Even if he couldn''t match an A-level tenth rank in directbat, he could toy with them using his understanding of the time rules.


    For example, now, if Lin Yuan used the time rules to create a time prison, those A-level tenth ranks, even if they struggled with all their might, would need at least half an hour to break free.


    Half an hour? By then, it would be toote to do anything.


    "Hmm?"


    "Afterprehending the time rules, the integration of time and space in my inner world has sped up the evolution process?" Lin Yuan''s expression changed slightly.


    The transition from the ninth to the tenth rank is a slow evolution process. By Lin Yuan''s own estimation, it would take about a hundred years toplete.


    But now, Lin Yuan estimated that it would only take sixty to seventy years.


    "Comprehending the time rules has this benefit too?" Lin Yuan was in a good mood.


    While his deep foundation meant that there was no doubt about his ability to advance to the tenth rank, the sooner he reached it, the better.


    "The Strongest One Xia Qin once told me that when an independent inner world undergoes a major rank transition, it will receive a source infusion from the chaotic void. At that time, it will be a great opportunity."


    Lin Yuan''s expression was one of anticipation.


    A source infusion from the chaotic void? In theory, this is a privilege reserved for eleventh-rank beings attempting the final breakthrough.


    Yet Lin Yuan, while still in the ninth rank and transitioning to the tenth, would experience it. If this news got out, it would drive countless eleventh-rank beings insane with envy.


    "Right."


    "I should go see the Strongest One Xia Qin."


    Lin Yuan gathered his thoughts and immediately connected his consciousness to the virtual world.


    The Strongest One Xia Qin had instructed Lin Yuan that if he managed toprehend the time rules at the ninth rank, he muste see him again.


    Lin Yuan owed much of his sess inprehending the time rules to the Strongest One Xia Qin. Without his help in escaping the river of time, Lin Yuan might have been dyed in fully grasping the time rules, possibly even into the tenth rank.


    Virtual World


    Personal World of the Strongest One


    The Strongest One Xia Qin sat on his throne.


    "Hmm?"


    "That little guy is here to see me?"


    Xia Qin''s heart stirred as he recalled the faint ripple he had sensed earlier on the "shore" of the river of time.


    "Could it be that the ripple really came from Lin Yuan?"


    Xia Qin felt a twinge of excitement, though he had only been specting before.


    Soon, Lin Yuan''s figure appeared below.


    "Strongest One."


    Lin Yuan bowed slightly.


    "Did youprehend the time rules?" Xia Qin asked directly, with a rare hint of tension in his voice.


    Lin Yuan wondered how Xia Qin knew, but he still answered, "Yes."


    "You''veprehended the time rules..."


    Xia Qin''s tone was uncharacteristically excited. "Good, good, good!"


    ...

 Chapter 357

    "Good, good, good!" The Strongest one, Xia Qin, spoke with excitement, growing more satisfied the more he observed Lin Yuan.


    Over the long years, he had nurtured several descendants, pouring his heart and soul into their development.


    These descendants possessed the bloodline of a twelve-rank life form, andbined with the personal cultivation by the Strongest one, they achieved quite remarkable aplishments.


    Butpared to Lin Yuan? Xia Qin felt a bit ashamed.


    So far, the only thing Xia Qin, the Strongest one, had done to nurture the Master of the Milky Way Star Domain was to take him to the banks of the River of Time once.


    As for anything more?


    There was none.


    That Divine Sealing Bead, capable of fending off ultimate attacks of the same rank, was something that every human genius of supreme talent received upon being summoned by the Strongest one.


    The only difference in how Xia Qin treated Lin Yuanpared to other supreme human geniuses was allowing the Master of the Milky Way Star Domain to witness the full extent of the River of Time while still at the ninth rank.This kind of opportunity could be considered significant, or perhaps not that significant.


    For the mediocre, there was no difference between seeing it or not.


    Even for supreme evolutionary geniuses, it would at most smooth the path inprehending thews of time.


    But Lin Yuan?


    He only watched for a moment, and within less than thirty years, heprehended thews of time?


    Such a result left even Xia Qin, the Strongest one, somewhat dumbfounded.


    He indeed hoped that Lin Yuan wouldprehend thews of time while still at the ninth rank.


    But he hadn''t expected it to happen so quickly!


    Lin Yuan looked toward Xia Qin, who was seated on the throne.


    In the past, when Lin Yuan was first summoned by Xia Qin, even after learning that Lin Yuan was the founder of the martial evolution path, Xia Qin had only shown a few signs of approval. But to be this excited now, uttering three consecutive "goods"?


    Before today, Lin Yuan had never expected the Strongest one to disy such an emotional response.


    "It seems that the gains fromprehending thews of time at the ninth rank and then breaking through to the tenth rank are even greater than I imagined," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    "When will the transformation bepleted?"


    Xia Qin, the Strongest one, observed Lin Yuan for a while before asking.


    As for the many details of breaking through from the ninth rank to the tenth rank, he was naturally well aware.


    The body, soul, mind, will, and even the internal world would undergo a slow transformation.


    Once the transformation reached a critical point, the final breakthrough could be made, fully stepping into the tenth rank.


    During this period, it''s best for the evolver not to exert themselves fully, as it could affect the progress of the transformation.


    Afterpleting the full ninth level of transmigration, the reason Lin Yuan chose to wait until after the end of the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm to break through was due to concerns that something unexpected might happen during the transformation. ?


    When breaking through from the ninth rank to the tenth rank, not only would Lin Yuan''s true form undergo transformation, but his two other primordial spirits would also undergo transformation.


    "Originally, it would have taken sixty years."


    "Now, at most, it will take twenty years to reach the peak of the transformation, and then I can break through."


    Lin Yuan immediately replied.


    Why does a ninth-rank evolver need to open up at least ten million spatialyers to reach the threshold for breaking through to the tenth rank?


    Because only with this number of spatialyers could the transformation be barely conducted, eventually leading to the tenth rank.


    But "barely" is the keyword here. The more spatialyers opened, the easier the transformation process bes.


    "You''veprehended thews of time and mastered both space and time. With aplete and independent internal world, the speed of transformation will naturally skyrocket," Xia Qin, the Strongest one, nodded.


    It''s likeparing the speed of two wheels to that of four or even eight wheels.


    With an internal world fused with thews of time, it''s far more than just adding a few wheelspared to an internal world supported only by spatialws. It''s a qualitative change, a great leap forward.


    "Breaking through from the ninth to the tenth rank, even an ordinary evolver must endure the infusion of the universe''s origin, during which they cannot be disturbed."


    Xia Qin, the Strongest one, looked at Lin Yuan.


    Ordinary evolvers needed to endure the infusion of the universe''s origin.


    But Lin Yuan had to endure the infusion of the origin of the chaotic void.


    He absolutely could not be disturbed.


    "Where do you n for me to break through?" Lin Yuan took the initiative to ask.


    The Strongest one would certainly know best about these matters.


    "You should break through within the Milky Way Star Domain."


    "Also, recall as many of your external avatars as possible during the breakthrough."


    After some thought, Xia Qin, the Strongest one, spoke.


    Breaking through from the ninth to the tenth rank should be done in the safest possible ce.


    The safest regions in human civilization are just a few.


    One is the Central Star Domain, the heart of human civilization, suppressed by numerous n-guarding weapons.


    Even if an alien Strongest onees, they wouldn''t gain anything.


    The second is in the various evolutionary towers.


    Evolutionary towers are ces where the Strongest ones reside.


    Being inside the tower is equivalent to having the protection of the Strongest ones.


    It''s incredibly safe.


    However.


    The speed of transformation in Lin Yuan''s internal world was simply too fast.


    It was less than twenty years away from the peak of transformation.


    Whether it''s the nearest evolution tower or the Central Star Domain, they are countless light-years away from the Milky Way Star Domain.


    If Lin Yuan wanted to go there, he would inevitably spend a lot of time traveling.


    This made Xia Qin, the Strongest one, feel that it wasn''t ideal.


    Lin Yuan is, after all, the only being in human civilization so far toprehend thews of time while still at the ninth rank.


    He might even be the only one in this entire universe, from its birth to its destruction, throughout an entire cosmic epoch.


    So there was no need to waste precious time before the breakthrough on traveling.


    "I will send an avatar to the Milky Way Star Domain. You just focus on your breakthrough," Xia Qin, the Strongest one, said.


    Although the Milky Way Star Domain is covered by the virtual worldwork, and Yu Die, the Strongest one, can descend with an avatar at any time.


    But Lin Yuan is someone Xia Qin values.


    Usually relying on Yu Die, the Strongest one, for care is fine.


    But now, at such a critical moment as breaking through from the ninth to the tenth rank, still relying on Yu Die? He felt it was a bit inappropriate.


    Since Lin Yuan''s breakthrough wouldn''t take long, sending an avatar wouldn''t be too much effort.


    "Thank you, Strongest one," Lin Yuan expressed his gratitude.


    To have a Strongest one personally protect him during his breakthrough? In human civilization, this is probably a treatment only avable for those breaking through from the eleventh to the twelfth rank.


    Lin Yuan enjoyed this treatment when breaking through from the ninth to the tenth rank, which shows how much Xia Qin, the Strongest one, values him.


    However, with the potential Lin Yuan has currently disyed, his importance is in no way inferior to that of the peak eleventh-rank evolvers in human civilization.


    He might even be considered much stronger in the heart of the Strongest one.


    To the Strongest ones, the difference between the ninth and eleventh ranks is not significant.


    What matters is the potential and possibility of breaking into the twelfth rank.


    So far, Lin Yuan has performed better in this regard than those peak eleventh-rank evolvers.


    Breaking through from the ninth to the tenth rank, and then from the tenth to the eleventh rank, to enjoy the chaotic void origin infusion twice, a treatment only avable when breaking through from the eleventh to the twelfth rank?


    This means that when Lin Yuan reaches the peak of the eleventh rank, his body, soul, mind, will, internal world, and so on will surpass most eleventh-rank powerhouses.


    Even if he doesn''t match those peak eleventh-rankers in ruleprehension, his foundational strength will allow him to survive and even fight back.


    And once Lin Yuan reaches the peak of the eleventh rank, his chances of ultimately reaching the twelfth rank will be much higher than other peak eleventh-rankers.


    This increased probabilityes entirely from Lin Yuan himself, not external factors.


    And if you add the support of human civilization, including the use of key treasures?


    At least Lin Yuan is the most likely evolver to reach the ultimate rank in thest two million years of human civilization.


    Such an unparalleled genius, what else is there to do but to prioritize him? "During your breakthrough, try to enter the deeperyers of the space," Xia Qin, the Strongest one, reminded onest time.


    "Alright."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    When he broke through from the eighth to the ninth rank, he had not yet opened any spaceyers.


    So he chose a deste star domain to break through, which minimized the impact.


    Xia Qin''s suggestion to break through in the deeper spaceyers was along the same lines.


    When Lin Yuan broke through from the eighth to the ninth rank, the impact only spanned tens to hundreds of light-years.


    But the breakthrough from the ninth to the tenth rank¡ªjust the internal world''s increase in foundation alone is over ten million times greater.


    If he doesn''t break through in the deeper spaceyers, the impact could be immense.


    And the main source of the impact is the infusion of the chaotic void origin, which Xia Qin, the Strongest one, could not intervene to stop.


    Stop it? Stop the infusion of the chaotic void''s origin?


    Such a foolish thing would never cross Xia Qin''s mind.


    Whoosh.


    Lin Yuan''s figure disappeared.


    Xia Qin, the Strongest one, sat on his throne, a thought crossing his mind. An avatar appeared outside the Evolution Tower and took a step toward the Milky Way Star Domain.


    The Xia You Evolution Tower and the Milky Way Star Domain are separated by an unimaginably long distance of light-years.


    But for the Strongest one, such distances are insignificant.


    Milky Way''s main star.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, with most of his mind focused on his slow transformation.


    The transformation starts with the internal world, gradually affecting the body, soul, mind, and will.


    So,prehending thews of time and making the internal world independent andplete yed a crucial role in the entire transformation process.


    "Twenty years."


    Even with only twenty years left until the tenth rank, Lin Yuan did not want to waste any time.


    Instead, he revisited the Martial Evolution Path in his mind, from the first stage to the ninth stage.


    Every detail flooded his mind.


    Although Xia Qin, the Strongest one, valued hisprehension of thews of time more, Lin Yuan knew deep down.


    His foundation would always be the Martial Evolution Path.


    This is the basis of everything for Lin Yuan.


    Reviewing the Martial Evolution Path is like revisiting the path of evolution he has walked.


    "Can the Martial Evolution Path be further refined? Can it be made even better?" Lin Yuan began examining each word from the beginning.


    Compared to when he had justpleted the ninth transmigration, Lin Yuan had made significant progress, even though he was still at the ninth rank.


    But afterprehending thews of time and mastering space-time, Lin Yuan''s understanding of the essence of power and the essence of rules had undergone substantial changes.


    Now, as he reviewed the Martial Evolution Path, he naturally had new insights and realizations.


    "The first rank should ce more emphasis on the foundation. The body is the beginning of martial arts. Without a strong physique, martial arts will struggle to reach the end."


    "The second rank."


    "The third rank."


    Lin Yuan began to make subtle ''changes'' to the Martial Evolution Path.


    These changes didn''t involve major shifts, only minute adjustments to make the Martial Evolution Path more refined and perfect.


    At the very least, it would help many martial practitioners face fewer challenges in cultivating the Martial Evolution Path.


    Time passed.


    In the blink of an eye, half a year had gone by.


    Lin Yuan finally finished reorganizing the Martial Evolution Path from start to finish.


    From the first rank to the ninth rank.


    "The current Martial Evolution Path makes it easier for evolvers to understand, and the essence is exined more clearly." A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    The Martial Evolution Path was something he had created from scratch, drawing from countless cultivation systems and evolutionary paths, and ultimately establishing it.


    As for the martial arts from the first transmigration world? Lin Yuan''s Martial Evolution Path now was entirely different from the martial arts of that world.


    The martial arts of that world were just a rough application of physical strength and vitality, with an upper limit barely reaching the first stage.


    But the Martial Evolution Path? It had the potential to be the strongest evolutionary path.


    "Let''s update it directly." Lin Yuan selected the refined Martial Evolution Path and re-uploaded it, recing the original Martial Evolution Path.


    In the virtual world of the southern star region.


    In the central square area.


    Countless evolvers and high-level citizens were chatting casually.


    At that moment...


    "Look, the evolution rankings have been updated."


    "The Martial Evolution Path has risen to forty-second ce."


    "That''s incredible, a ninth-rank evolution path breaking into the top forty-two of the star region rankings?"


    "The founder behind the Martial Evolution Path must be one of the top evolutionary schrs of our human civilization, with an unimaginable level of exploration in the field of evolution."


    "At this rate, when he uploads the tenth stage, and it bes a tenth-rank evolution path, won''t it break into the top ten of the evolution rankings?"


    The many evolvers and high-level citizens discussed fervently. The Martial Evolution Path had now be the most legendary evolution path in the southern star region.


    Its influence was even greater than some of the eleventh-rank evolutionary paths in the top ten of the star region''s evolution rankings.


    Most of the peak eleventh-rank evolutionary paths had histories spanning one or two million years, and their potential had reached its limits.


    But the Martial Evolution Path was only at the ninth rank. What will its ranking be when it reaches the tenth or even the eleventh rank?


    Milky Way''s main star.


    Lin Yuan nced at thetest ranking of the Martial Evolution Path.


    "It rose eleven ranks."


    Lin Yuan nodded slightly.


    This time, he had only made subtle adjustments to the Martial Evolution Path, yet it had jumped from fifty-third to forty-second ce.


    It perfectly met Lin Yuan''s expectations.


    The rise in the ranking of the Martial Evolution Path also earned Lin Yuan a reward of eight million merit points.


    This was the joint assessment of the three goddesses. Although the potential of the updated Martial Evolution Path hadn''t increased significantly, its adaptability had improved greatly, and each stage was nearly perfect.


    "The Martial Evolution Path has developed well over the past few decades."


    Lin Yuan pulled up thetest cultivation data for the Martial Evolution Path, which covered the number of evolvers at each stage.


    "Rank one: eight trillion."


    "Rank two: nine hundred and twenty billion."


    "Rank three: nine hundred million."


    "Rank four: eighty million."


    "Rank five: twelve million."


    "Rank six: one hundred and three thousand."


    "Rank seven: five thousand six hundred."


    "Rank eight: zero."


    "The number of evolvers from Rank one to Rank three has skyrocketed by several tens of times, but from Rank four onwards, the growth rate has slowed significantly."


    Lin Yuan wasn''t surprised.


    No matter the evolutionary path, in the early ranks, that is, from Rank one to Rank three, progress could be ''elerated.''


    Before involving theprehension of the essence of rules, evolution was just a matter of umting energy.


    And umting energy, as long as there were enough resources, wasn''t a big issue.


    But from Rank four of the Martial Evolution Path onwards, it involved theprehension of rules.


    This aspect cannot be ''elerated,'' and external forces can only makeprehension slightly easier.


    But it definitely can''t rece the need forprehension to directly advance.


    Compared to the past few decades, the number of evolvers at Rank six and seven had hardly changed.


    "Over these years, about ten million universe crystals have been umted." Lin Yuan nced at the ie from the Martial Evolution Path.


    Ten million universe crystals are a considerable sum, even for a tenth-rank evolver.


    It''s more than enough for a typical ninth-rank evolver with ten million spatialyers.


    But this was just the umtion from the Martial Evolution Path over thest thirty years.


    Thirty years, let alone for ninth or tenth-rank evolvers, is an exceptionally short time even for eighth-rank evolvers.


    Milky Way Star Domain.


    Xia Qin, the Strongest one, stood quietly, surveying the entirety of the Milky Way Star Domain, as well as the surrounding star domains and star alliances.


    Even with just an avatar, he possessed the fundamentalbat power of a twelfth-rank powerhouse. Moreover, with this avatar as a ''beacon,'' Xia Qin''s true form could descend in an instant.


    "Toprehend thews of time at the ninth rank is truly remarkable," a figure condensed from illusory power appeared beside him, revealing Yu Die, the Strongest one.


    Among the nine Strongest ones of human civilization, Yu Die''sbat strength wasn''t the highest, but she was equally indispensable. The virtual worldwork that covered all of human civilization originated from Yu Die, the Strongest one.


    The so-called virtual world that nearly perfectly replicates reality was meticulously crafted by Yu Die, and it operates with nearly ny percent of the essence of the main universe.


    Through the virtual world, Yu Die, the Strongest one, can descend upon any location within human civilization with just a thought.


    "Indeed," Xia Qin, the Strongest one, responded with pride.


    For a Strongest one to utter a simple ''remarkable'' was an extremely rare urrence.


    Yu Die, the Strongest one, specialized in the domain of illusory dreams, so her standards were higher than those of ordinary Strongest ones. Her ''remarkable'' was enough to astonish those of the same rank.


    "When the Master of the Milky Way Star Domain breaks through, it will attract the infusion of the chaotic void''s origin. At that time, we will need to work together to iste the spatial-temporal perception."


    Xia Qin, the Strongest one, said.


    Isting spatial-temporal perception refers to concealing the exact location where the chaotic void''s origin is being infused into the main universe.


    Even if other alien Strongest ones be aware, they will only know that someone in human civilization is undergoing the chaotic void''s origin infusion.


    As for the specific location, they won''t be able to pinpoint it.


    Isting spatial-temporal perception is amon technique used by the Strongest ones.


    The purpose is to confuse the eyes of other alien Strongest ones.


    "No problem," Yu Die, the Strongest one, nodded.


    Actually, Xia Qin, the Strongest one, could handle the spatial-temporal istion alone.


    But for the sake of caution, he still called upon Yu Die, the Strongest one.

 Chapter 358

    While they waited, the two Strongest ones began to chat casually.


    "The Master of the Milky Way Star Domain, as the first lifeform in our human civilization to receive the infusion of the chaotic void''s origin while still at the ninth rank, I wonder howrge the tear will be when he breaks through," Yu Die, the Strongest one, couldn''t help but feel curious.


    She had witnessed several eleventh-rank powerhouses attempt the ultimate breakthrough and receive the infusion of the chaotic void''s origin.


    But a ninth rank?


    Throughout history.


    It had never happened before.


    Even the ultimate beings were quite eager to see it.


    "Normally, a ninth-rank evolver breaking through to the tenth rank will tear a gap of about a million miles to receive the origin infusion."


    "The Master of the Milky Way Star Domain has opened more than two hundred millionyers of space, and the amount of origin infusion required is twenty times greater than that of a regr ninth-rank evolver.However, the chaotic void''s origin is much stronger than the universe''s origin, so the final tear is estimated to be around ten million miles," Xia Qin, the Strongest one, spected.


    Whether it is the infusion of the universe''s origin or the chaotic void''s origin.


    The essence is the same: filling the evolver''s body with origin power.


    The more origin power the evolver''s body and internal world can contain, therger the tear that will be made to amodate the excess origin power.


    "That sounds about right," Yu Die, the Strongest one, nodded.


    Even though they had never seen a ninth-rank lifeform receive the infusion of the chaotic void''s origin, they could fully estimate the scale of the infusion byparing it to a normal ninth-rank evolver receiving the universe''s origin infusion.


    Typically, the quality of the chaotic void''s origin is a hundred times greater than that of the universe''s origin.


    When the Master of the Milky Way Star Domain breaks through and tears a gap of ten million miles, the amount of chaotic void origin being infused will be ten times that of the universe''s origin.


    Adding the difference in quality, the benefits the Master of the Milky Way Star Domain will receive will be a thousand times greater than what a regr ninth-rank evolver would receive when breaking through to the tenth rank.


    Time passed.


    Eighteen or neen years went by in the blink of an eye.


    On the main star of the Milky Way.


    Lin Yuan quietly opened his eyes.


    "The transformation has reached its peak."


    Lin Yuan observed himself. Whether it was his internal world, physical body, soul, or even mind and will, they had all seemingly reached some kind of limit.


    To improve further, he had to break through the bottleneck and step into the tenth rank.


    Whoosh.


    Whoosh.


    Two figures appeared beside him.


    They were none other than Lin Yuan''s Yang and Yin Primordial Spirits.


    Buzz.


    Lin Yuan''s mind moved, and the two Primordial Spirits activated the secret technique "Illusion to Reality," reverting from physical bodies to soul forms. ???


    This secret technique, created by the master of the Devil Jade Tower, allowed lifeforms to freely switch between illusion and reality. It was truly extraordinary.


    All along, Lin Yuan had maintained the physical form of his two Primordial Spirits.


    This was because only through physical bodies could he fully unleash the power of the various divine abilities rted to the body.


    As for the soul form? While the soul had the effect of gathering and dispersing, relying on the "Blood Rebirth" technique wasn''t much different from the soul form.


    Moreover, the other body-rted divine abilities provided Lin Yuan with much greater benefits in maintaining a physical form than in a soul form.


    But now.


    To ensure a stable breakthrough.


    Lin Yuan decided to revert his two Primordial Spirits back to their original forms.


    Although the two Primordial Spirits had reverted to soul forms, the size of his internal world did not reduce to millions of miles in area.


    The effect of the mysterious gourd would not disappear just because his physical body reverted to a soul form.


    "Let''s begin the breakthrough." Lin Yuan''s two Primordial Spirits merged into his body, and now within his body, three internal worlds, each spanning over two hundred million miles, were stabilized.


    "Go." Lin Yuan''s figure vanished, entering the deeperyers of space.


    "Hmm?"


    "That little guy is about to start his breakthrough."


    The two Strongest ones, who were constantly monitoring the main star of the Milky Way, immediately sensed Lin Yuan''s aura disappearing from the Milky Way Star and reappearing in the deeperyers of space.


    "Let''s begin as well."


    "Iste the space-time."


    Xia Qin, the Strongest one, and Yu Die, the Strongest one, exchanged nces and took action.


    In an instant.


    Strands of mysterious energy began to spread throughout the entire Milky Way Star Domain and the surrounding dozens of star domains.


    In this vast region, space-time was temporarily isted. No matter how significant themotion might be, even if the outside world could sense something unusual, they wouldn''t be able to pinpoint the exact location.


    In the depths of the spaceyer.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    As his transformation reached its peak, Lin Yuan felt a certain urge within him.


    An urge to break through.


    To break the bottleneck.


    Rumble.


    As Lin Yuan let go of his suppression.


    He began to fully impact the bottleneck.


    It seemed that the external universe sensed something.


    A terrifying rift tore through theyers of space, and a massive amount of origin power from the chaotic void beyond the universe began to pour into Lin Yuan.


    Whoosh.


    An endless stream of chaotic void origin poured down as if it were limitless, flooding into Lin Yuan.


    A typical ninth-rank evolver breaking through to the tenth rank only needed a small amount of origin power infusion.


    After all, for a ninth-rank evolver attempting the tenth rank, their internal world was only about a ten million miles in size, and their spaceyer only had about a ten millionyers.


    With such limited size and depth, how much origin power could it hold?


    Some special ninth-rank evolvers who had opened up tens of millions of spaceyers might need more origin power.


    But even then, it was very limited.


    At most, it would tear open a gap of two to three million miles to allow the origin infusion.


    But Lin Yuan? Just the sheer size of his internal world alone, which exceeded two hundred million miles, meant that the amount of origin power it could hold was thousands or even tens of thousands of times greater than that of a regr evolver with ten million-mile internal world.


    Furthermore, the two hundred million miles of internal world had over 2.3 billion spaceyers.


    Combining the two factors, the amount of origin power Lin Yuan could ultimately contain was millions or hundreds of millions of times that of a regr ninth-rank evolver.


    It was likeparing a fish tank to ake¡ªboth could hold water, but the difference in quantity was like night and day.


    Rip.


    The tear in the spaceyers, through which a vast amount of chaotic void origin began to pour in, started at over a billion miles wide and continued to expand as time passed and Lin Yuan absorbed more origin power.


    One light-year.


    Two light-years.


    Five light-years.


    For a regr ninth-rank evolver breaking through to the tenth rank, as long as they hid in the deeper spaceyers, themotion wouldn''t be toorge, and the tear would only be about a million or a few million miles wide.


    Compared to the vastness of the universe and the void, it was insignificant.


    However¡ª


    The amount of origin power Lin Yuan needed was so immense.


    Even though the quality of the chaotic void origin was a hundred times stronger than the universe''s origin, the tear quickly expanded to ten light-years wide.


    The energy waves that burst out during this time far exceeded the usualmotion caused by a ninth-rank breakthrough to the tenth rank. They even surpassed themotion typically caused by a tenth-rank breakthrough to the eleventh rank.


    "What''s going on?"


    "A tear has appeared in the universe?"


    "The chaotic void''s origin is pouring in?"


    At the same time, in the depths of the starry sky, many eleventh-rank beings sensed it.


    The universe''s space had beenpletely torn apart, connecting to the chaotic void outside. If it was just a brief tear or a small one, it wouldn''t cause such a significant reaction.


    But with a tear over ten light-years wide, and a massive amount of chaotic void origin pouring in, even distant eleventh-rank beings could sense it.


    After all, the chaotic void''s origin is the power needed when eleventh-rank powerhouses attempt to break through to the ultimate level, and many eleventh-rank beings crave this type of energy.


    "Is someone attempting the ultimate breakthrough?"


    "Which peak eleventh-rank being is choosing this moment to attempt the ultimate breakthrough?"


    "No, I''ve witnessed an eleventh-rank being attempt the ultimate breakthrough before, and themotion was muchrger than this."


    "Yes, when an eleventh-rank being attempts the ultimate breakthrough, the chaotic void origin infusion is just one of the phenomena; there are even grander manifestations."


    Many powerful ancient gods exchanged thoughts. Some ancient gods, who were in deep sleep to maintain a significant time flow differential with the outside world, were awakened by the chaotic void origin energy, canceling the time flow difference to sense the energy from beyond the universe.


    "It should be a tenth-rank being who hasprehended thews of time, trying to break through to the eleventh rank."


    One of the ancient gods spected.


    Since the universe''s inception.


    There had never been a ninth-rank being whoprehended thews of time.


    But a tenth-rank being whoprehended thews of time? That had happened before.


    When a tenth-rank beingprehended thews of time, making their internal worldplete and independent, they would receive the chaotic void origin infusion when breaking through to the eleventh rank.


    "Comprehending thews of time at the tenth rank, that would be a great benefit for the ultimate leap in the future, wouldn''t it?"


    "I''m envious. Why didn''t I stay at the tenth rank a few more years back then? Comprehending thews of time would have given me an extra chance to receive the chaotic void origin infusion, benefiting me endlessly."


    "But I can''t sense where the tear is located; it''s as if space-time has been isted."


    "Heh, the Strongest ones must have intervened, isting space-time. If they didn''t, enemy Strongest ones might have tried to eliminate the one breaking through."


    In the depths of the starry sky, the eleventh-rank beings and ancient gods engaged in lively discussions.


    Usually, only events like attempting the ultimate breakthrough could provoke such exchanges among these powerful beings, most of whom remained in deep sleep.


    The Tianyu n.


    "The tear is in the territory of human civilization."


    An ancestor of the Tianyu n opened his eyes and looked toward the human civilization''s direction.


    While the eleventh-rank beings and ancient gods werepletely blocked by the istion of space-time and couldn''t perceive the location of the tear pouring in the chaotic void origin, the ultimate beings could vaguely pinpoint the general area.


    This ancestor of the Tianyu n determined that it was within the territory of human civilization.


    "Is human civilization about to produce a tenth-rank evolver who hasprehended thews of time and is about to break through to the eleventh rank?"


    One by one, the other ancestors looked toward the direction of human civilization. For the twelfth-rank beings, they rarely paid attention to matters below the ultimate level.


    Some ultimate beings didn''t even care about the affairs of their own race.


    But now, a being who hadprehended thews of time at the tenth rank caught the attention of many ultimate beings.


    At the very least, this being had a better chance of making the ultimate leap in the future than other eleventh-rank beings.


    "The universe''s origin will is too biased towards human civilization."


    "That event where countless treasures fell from the heavens gave human civilization the most crucial part of those treasures."


    "And now, they have a tenth-rank evolver whoprehended thews of time? What about the Master of the Milky Way Star Domain?"


    The ultimate beings thought quietly to themselves.


    They wanted to strike down the being who hadprehended thews of time, but they couldn''t pinpoint the exact location in a short amount of time.


    They only knew it was within the territory of human civilization.


    And the territory of human civilization was vast and expansive. Even if the Strongest ones tried to search inch by inch, it would take a considerable amount of time, not to mention that the ultimate beings of human civilization wouldn''t allow enemy Strongest ones to search freely.


    Lin Yuan''s breakthrough attracted the attention of many eleventh-rank beings and ultimate beings.


    However, even the ultimate beings merely assumed that this was a tenth-rank breakthrough to the eleventh rank.


    They thought it was just a tenth-rank being who hadprehended thews of time and was receiving the chaotic void origin infusion early.


    Although it was a bit surprising, it had happened before, so it wasn''t too shocking.


    However, within the Milky Way Star Domain.


    Xia Qin, the Strongest one, and Yu Die, the Strongest one, looked at the tear in the depths of the spaceyer, which had now reached twelve light-years, and the endless chaotic void origin pouring down.


    The energy from beyond the universe spread, deep and mysterious.


    The two Strongest ones faintly saw that outside the chaotic void, arge amount of chaotic energy was surging.


    The overwhelming chaotic void origin was pouring down like a waterfall, and Lin Yuan was absorbing it all.


    The chaotic void origin, which would have been enough to burst a ninth or even tenth-rank evolver, entered Lin Yuan''s body like a bottomless abyss, without causing any reaction.


    Lin Yuan was like a ck hole, crazily absorbing the infusion of chaotic void origin.


    Xia Qin and Yu Die were both stunned, standing there in shock for a long time.


    ...

 Chapter 359

    The eleventh-rank beings in the depths of the universe, whether ancient gods or even ultimate beings, were all certain that it was a tenth-rank being who hadprehended thews of time and was now breaking through to the eleventh rank.


    This conclusion was based on the tear in the universe and the influx of chaotic void origin, which were both much smaller than those that ur when a peak eleventh-rank being attempts to reach the ultimate level.


    However, Xia Qin and Yu Die knew that this was not the case.


    What was causing such a significantmotion was simply the Master of the Milky Way Star Domain breaking through to the tenth rank.


    Breaking through from the ninth rank to the tenth rank.


    This left the two Strongest ones somewhat stunned.


    Even though they had high expectations for Lin Yuan and believed that the tear caused by his breakthrough would be around ten million miles wide, which was already an overestimation, they never expected this. A normal ninth-rank being breaking through to the tenth rank would typically cause a tear of only about a million miles.


    Some exceptional ninth-rank beings might manage a tear of two to three million miles, but that would be the limit.


    And the tears caused by these breakthroughs were within the universe, with the infusion of universe origin.However, a being who hadprehended thews of time and whose internal world waspletely independent would tear a gap connecting to the chaotic void.


    The quality of the chaotic void''s origin is far superior to that of the universe''s origin. If the Master of the Milky Way Star Domain hadn''t opened more than two hundred millionyers of space, Xia Qin would have thought that the tear during the breakthrough would be less than a million miles.


    "A tear in the universe over twelve light-years wide, with the chaotic void''s origin pouring in, such a phenomenon shouldn''t be happening during a ninth-rank breakthrough to the tenth rank, should it?"


    Xia Qin and Yu Die were perplexed.


    They weren''t doubting Lin Yuan, but rather found the current situation somewhat unbelievable.


    A tenth-rank being who hadprehended thews of time might tear a gap in the universe ten light-years wide during their breakthrough to the eleventh rank.


    But that''s at the tenth rank, after a major transformation from the ninth rank, even if only the universe''s origin was infused. This transformation enhances everything¡ªbody, soul, mind, will, and internal world.


    Moreover, at the tenth rank, various fusion rules are constantly beingprehended and integrated into the internal world, greatly enhancing its foundation.


    These enhancements far exceed what can be achieved by simply opening an extra billion or two spaceyers.


    For a ninth-rank being, opening more spaceyers indeed adds to the foundation for stepping into the tenth rank, but only to some extent. The fusion of various rules, especially pir rules, at the tenth rank contributes much more.


    The Master of the Milky Way Star Domain had onlyprehended thews of time and hadn''t even grasped a single pir-level fusion rule. How could he bear so much of the chaotic void''s origin infusion?


    Xia Qin and Yu Die were full of doubts, but themotion caused by the breakthrough was undeniably real, with an endless influx of chaotic void origin pouring down.


    "This little guy."


    "He must have some major secrets," Xia Qin and Yu Die exchanged nces, "I guess the power he disyed in the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm was just for show."


    Given the amount of chaotic void origin Lin Yuan was bearing, the foundation he umted at the ninth rank must be astonishing.


    If he had only opened two hundred millionyers of space, how could he have withstood so much chaotic void origin infusion?


    "Good, good, good!" Xia Qin looked bright-eyed.


    Originally, he thought that Lin Yuanprehending thews of time at the ninth rank was already a huge surprise.


    He didn''t expect an even greater surprise to be waiting.


    Based on themotion caused by Lin Yuan''s breakthrough, it''s likely that upon reaching the tenth rank, he could rival those at the peak of the A-rank list. ??


    Yu Die also smiled.


    Neither of the two Strongest ones med Lin Yuan for hiding things from them.


    It''s necessary to keep some things hidden to grow.


    Before the Star Era, during the long years of human civilization''s dormancy, humanity also tried to hide itself as much as possible.


    If they hadn''t hidden, the weak human civilization would have long been divided and devoured by numerous alien races and Strongest ones.


    As for the big secrets and opportunities surrounding Lin Yuan?


    Xia Qin and Yu Die, the Strongest ones, didn''t mind.


    No secret couldpare to the ones humanity had already discovered.


    No opportunity could be greater than those humanity had already obtained.


    In the depths of the spaceyers.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged. The twelve light-year-wide tear connecting to the chaotic void above his head was rapidly closing.


    The time for receiving the origin infusion when breaking through from the ninth to the tenth rank is fixed at 333 seconds.


    So the more robust the foundation of the ninth rank, therger the tear will be. In the same amount of time, to amodate the origin infusion required for different ninth-rank breakthroughs, the only variable is the size of the tear.


    Therger the tear, the more origin can be infused in those 333 seconds.


    The tear in the universe caused by Lin Yuan''s breakthrough reached twelve light-years, so even though the duration was still 333 seconds, the amount of origin he received was immeasurable.


    At this moment, Lin Yuan felt as if he was "filled to the brim."


    His true body and the two primordial spirits were all pletely full."


    "I''ve finally stepped into the tenth rank," Lin Yuan opened his eyes, his mind filled with excitement.


    Even the most ordinary tenth-rank being experiences a hundred or thousandfold increase in power after receiving the universe''s origin infusion,pared to their ninth-rank state.


    And Lin Yuan, having received the chaotic void''s origin infusion, saw an even greater increase. His body, soul, mind, will, and internal world all reached new heights.


    "But... themotion during my breakthrough must have been quite substantial, right?" Lin Yuan nced at the void above, where the tear hadpletely "healed."


    Normally, a ninth-rank being breaking through to the tenth rank wouldn''t cause such arge disturbance.


    The universe origin infusion, which only opens a tear of about a million miles, wouldn''t even be detected by eleventh-rank beings, let alone the Strongest ones.


    When a tenth-rank being breaks through to the eleventh rank, if it still results in a universe origin infusion, the disturbance isn''t that significant either.


    Choosing a remote star domain to break through can easily go unnoticed.


    But a tenth-rank being who hasprehended thews of time breaking through to the eleventh rank? Since the beginning of this cosmic epoch, such urrences have been rare. These tenth-rank beings usually seek the protection of a Strongest one before breaking through.


    Just as Xia Qin and Yu Die isted the space-time for Lin Yuan''s breakthrough.


    The peak ns like human civilization, the Insect Race, and the Tianyu n don''t want to see an ultimate being emerge outside their own race, but the Star Alliance''s twelfth-rank beings are different.


    The Star Alliance is a force formed by many special lifeforms in the universe to resist the oppression of the peak ns. Its Strongest ones are very willing to protect powerful lifeforms with great potential but no significant background.


    The disturbance caused by an eleventh-rank being attempting the ultimate leap is much greater than the one caused by Lin Yuan''s breakthrough.


    But during the ultimate leap, no external force can interfere; at that point, the eleventh-rank being will attempt topletely free themselves from the constraints of the River of Time.


    If a Strongest one were to intervene during this process, it would be equivalent to opposing the entire River of Time.


    The bacsh from such an act would be unbearable, even for a Strongest one.


    And once the ultimate leap begins, there are only two oues:


    Sess.


    Or death.


    "Strongest one..."


    Lin Yuan walked out of the spaceyer on his own initiative.


    Over ten years ago, when Xia Qin arrived in the Milky Way Star Domain, he had informed Lin Yuan to focus on his transformation.


    Before the breakthrough, Lin Yuan was entirely focused.


    But now that he had sessfully reached the tenth rank, it was naturally time to meet with Xia Qin.


    After all, this Strongest one had protected the Milky Way Star Domain for nearly twenty years, showing his immense regard for Lin Yuan.


    Whoosh.


    Lin Yuan took a step and appeared outside the Milky Way Star Domain.


    At this moment, two figures were standing there quietly.


    "Xia Qin... and Yu Die" Lin Yuan was slightly surprised.


    Among the nine Strongest ones of human civilization, even if he hadn''t seen all of them in person, he was naturally familiar with their appearances.


    "Master Xia Qin, Master Yu Die," Lin Yuan bowed slightly.


    The nine Strongest ones of human civilization each resided in one of the nine Evolution Towers and could also be referred to as "Tower Masters."


    The two Strongest ones smiled as they looked at Lin Yuan and observed him for a moment.


    "Lin Yuan, you''ve really surprised me," Xia Qin remarked with some emotion.


    Yu Die also nodded slightly.


    As Strongest ones, beings who had broken free from the River of Time at the twelfth rank, what scenes and events hadn''t they witnessed?


    But with this little guy, Lin Yuan, they had been "shocked" time and again.


    "Strongest one, I..." Lin Yuan hesitated, nning to reveal a bit about the number of spaceyers he had opened.


    As for the mysterious gourd? Lin Yuan vaguely felt that it was too significant, and no matter the circumstances, he should never admit to possessing it.


    "No need to exin."


    Xia Qin waved his hand, "It''s normal to have secrets. I have secrets, and so does Yu Die."


    Xia Qin looked at Lin Yuan with a smile.


    At his level, he wasn''t interested in digging into everything. As long as Lin Yuan was a human evolver, that was enough.


    "Understood." Lin Yuan responded immediately.


    "I can''t even gauge your current strength," Xia Qin said, examining Lin Yuan thoughtfully before speaking, "But you should beparable to an A-rank tenth-rank, right?"


    The standard for an A-rank tenth-rank being is theprehension of a new rule formed by the fusion of two pir rules.


    Although Lin Yuan hadn''t yetprehended such a fusion rule, his foundation was too strong, almost like overwhelming force.


    "More or less," Lin Yuan nodded.


    In fact, Lin Yuan felt that his current strength surpassed that of an ordinary A-rank tenth-rank being.


    Afterprehending thews of time, his internal world becamepletely independent, and the infusion of chaotic void origin brought far greater improvements than he had anticipated.


    "Very good."


    A smile appeared on Xia Qin''s face.


    Given the scale of human civilization, gaining another A-rank tenth-rank being wasn''t earth-shattering.


    At most, it would influence local battles onrge battlefields, and that''s all.


    But Lin Yuan''s A-rank tenth-rank strength was different from that of a normal A-rank tenth-rank.


    In human civilization, as well as among other alien races, all A-rank tenth-rank beings have reached the peak of their strength and potential.


    There is no room for further improvement unless they break through to the eleventh rank.


    But Lin Yuan?


    Upon first reaching the tenth rank, he was alreadyparable to an A-rank tenth-rank being.


    Once he mastered various fusion rules, and even a pir-level fusion rule, what then? Without an eleventh-rank being intervening, who could be Lin Yuan''s opponent?


    "However, don''t getcent," Xia Qin changed his tone, his voice bing slightly more serious, "Our expectations for you are not the tenth rank, nor the eleventh rank."


    "We expect you to reach the ultimate, the twelfth rank."


    Xia Qin looked at Lin Yuan, and Yu Die also restrained her smile.


    In the vast universe, the true measure of a peak n''s strength lies solely in thebat power of its Strongest ones.


    Without bing a Strongest one, one is merely a lifeform within the River of Time, destined to eventually die of old age.


    No matter how unprecedented Lin Yuan''s talent and potential might be, only by reaching the twelfth rank can he achieve eternity.


    "Understood."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    He, too, longed to be an ultimate being.


    First, only by reaching that level could he have the power to protect himself. As for now? He could rely on the power of human civilization to ensure his safety.


    But relying on external forces and relying on oneself were two different things, and Lin Yuan preferred thetter.


    "After reaching the tenth rank, your internal world will establish a connection with the universe''s origin and will naturally undergo a slow transformation."


    "So what you need to do now isprehend as many fusion rules as possible, then integrate them into your internal world to enhance its foundation."


    Xia Qin exined.


    "Comprehend more fusion rules..."


    Lin Yuan suddenly understood.


    The more fusion rules a tenth-rank beingprehends, the stronger they be.


    Theoretically, even among A-rank tenth-rank beings, there are significant differences in strength.


    A tenth-rank being who hasprehended one pir-level fusion rulepared to one who hasprehended two pir-level fusion rules¡ªthere''s an obvious difference in strength.


    And there''s also a clear distinction between a being who hasprehended a new rule formed by the fusion of three pir rules and one who hasprehended a new rule formed by the fusion of two pir rules.


    Furthermore, if the time rule is fused with a basic rule, it can greatly enhance the abilities of an A-rank tenth-rank being.


    "Exactly."


    "Even at the eleventh rank, it''s primarily about fusing more rules."


    "But an eleventh-rank being fuses the time rule with the space rule, and if possible, the more pir rules that are fused, the greater the benefits."


    Xia Qin nodded.


    "The chaos rule?" Lin Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    "You actually know about the chaos rule?" Xia Qin was surprised. If human civilization hadn''t obtained that great opportunity from beyond the universe, they wouldn''t even know about the chaos rule.


    "I obtained some information about the chaos rule from a ce of opportunity within the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm," Lin Yuan said, half-truthfully.


    The information about the chaos rule dide from the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm.


    But it wasn''t from a ce of opportunity; it was something the six-armed figure, the spirit of the secret realm, had told him.


    It came from the Mysterious Sovereign, who had vanished countless eons ago.


    "The Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm was indeed left behind by an extraordinary powerhouse. It''s normal for him to know some information about the chaos rule." Xia Qin didn''t think much of it.


    Reflecting on the past, Xia Qin knew that Lin Yuan had greatly held back his strength within the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm.


    Given this, it wasn''t strange for Lin Yuan to have entered some extraordinary ces of opportunity and obtained some high-level information.


    "If an eleventh-rank being canprehend the chaos rule, it would indeed be extremely beneficial for attempting the ultimate leap."


    Xia Qin said with a slightly emotional tone, "But don''t pursue this too much. It''s almost impossible for an eleventh-rank being toprehend the chaos rule."


    "So that''s how it is," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Themotion caused by his breakthrough had already validated his talent and potential.


    Even so, Xia Qin still didn''t think Lin Yuan couldprehend the chaos rule, which clearly indicated its extreme difficulty.


    "By the way."


    "Let''s keep your breakthrough to the tenth rank under wraps for a few more years," Xia Qin said, "The disturbance caused by your breakthrough was so great that those alien powerhouses all think that our human civilization has produced an eleventh-rank evolver whoprehended the time rule at the tenth rank."


    "So I n to go along with this misunderstanding and first announce to the public that a reclusive evolver from human civilization hasprehended the time rule and then broke through to the eleventh rank in the Central Star Domain."


    Xia Qin looked at Lin Yuan.


    Comprehending the time rule at the tenth rank, though astonishing, had precedents.


    The alien powerhouses wouldn''t react too strongly to this.


    But if they learned that someone hadprehended the time rule at the ninth rank and caused such a massivemotion during the breakthrough?


    Those alien Strongest ones would be restless, trying every possible means to attack Lin Yuan.


    Although the human Strongest ones would pay more attention to Lin Yuan and wouldn''t let those alien Strongest ones seed, it was better to avoid such events if possible.


    "Can it be hidden?" Lin Yuan was quite curious.


    "If I hadn''t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn''t believe that a ninth-rank breakthrough to the tenth rank could cause such a hugemotion and phenomenon," Xia Qin nced at Lin Yuan.


    Yu Die also looked at Lin Yuan with a hint of surprise in her eyes.


    Compared to the "illusion" that human civilization was about to present to the alien races, the real truth was far more incredible.


    "Alright."


    "Now that you''ve stepped into the tenth rank, it''s time for me to return."


    "Take your time getting familiar with the power you''ve gained at the tenth rank."


    After saying this, Xia Qin disappeared.


    When breaking through from the ninth to the tenth rank, even with an ordinary breakthrough, one would receive the universe''s origin infusion.


    Everything about oneself would be significantly enhanced, so the first thing a new tenth-rank powerhouse does is adapt to their surge in power.


    Lin Yuan had received an infusion of chaotic void origin, which is a hundred times stronger than the universe''s origin, and the quantity he absorbed was unknown. The magnitude of his power increase was far beyond that of a normal ninth-to-tenth-rank breakthrough.


    Yu Die nced at Lin Yuan and then disappeared as well.


    Seeing this, Lin Yuan turned and returned to the main star of the Milky Way.


    Due to the Strongest ones'' actions isting space-time, none of the evolvers in the Milky Way Star Domain had noticed anything,


    Not even the eighth-rank managers on the main star of the Milky Way knew¡ª


    That their Star Lord had now be a tenth-rank evolver.


    Whoosh.


    Inside the Star Lord''s Hall.


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared.


    Then he sat down cross-legged.


    After breaking through to the tenth rank, Lin Yuan had immediately gone to meet with Xia Qin and Yu Die, and hadn''t had a chance to carefullypare the changes in his strength. Now he finally had time to slowly feel and assess them.


    ...

 Chapter 360

    "My physical body and soul have increased a thousandfold," Lin Yuan carefully felt the immense control brought by his powerful body and soul.


    At this moment, he was like a colossal celestial body, and if he were to release his suppression, everything within several light-years around him would be reduced to dust and revolve around him.


    "Now, even if I only use the strength of my physical body, a single punch is enough to shatter multipleyers of space," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The thousandfold increase in Lin Yuan''s physical body and soul wasn''t based on the foundation of an ordinary peak ninth-rank evolver. Instead, it was built upon a terrifying physical body that had been strengthened over twentyfold by the mysterious gourd.


    Additionally, the vast internal world that had developed was constantly nurturing Lin Yuan''s physical body and soul with the power of the world.


    Moreover, the martial cultivation system is inherently good at refining the physical body.


    In other words, before breaking through to the tenth rank, Lin Yuan''s physical strength was already hundreds or even thousands of times greater than that of other ninth-rank evolvers of the same level.


    "No wonder I''ve heard of eighth-rank invincibles managing to survive against ninth-rank evolvers, but never of a ninth-rank evolver surviving against a tenth-rank one," Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    The gap in power was just too vast.Even if other tenth-rank evolvers only received the universe''s origin infusion, they would still be far above ninth-rank lifeforms. Even special ninth-rank evolvers would stand no chance against a newly ascended tenth-rank powerhouse.


    "The higher you go, the greater the gap between different levels bes. The difference between the ninth and tenth ranks is just like the difference between the tenth and eleventh ranks, or between the eleventh rank and the ultimate level," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Especially the gap between the eleventh rank and the ultimate level, which represents the chasm of whether or not one can break free from the constraints of the River of Time.


    Although there are some extremely powerful and ancient eleventh-rank beings in the universe who can deter ultimate beings from taking action¡ªlike the "Mother of the Tree World"¡ªthis reluctance isn''t because these ancient and powerful eleventh-rank beings can resist the methods of an ultimate being, but because they have the potential to destroy themselves before the ultimate being can kill thempletely, leaving the ultimate being empty-handed.


    "My internal world..." Lin Yuan sent a sliver of his consciousness into his internal world.


    After receiving the immense chaotic void origin, Lin Yuan''s internal world didn''t change much in size, but it underwent significant transformation in every other aspect.


    Simply put, it was like the difference between Immortal World and the Spirit Realm.


    The space was more stable, the rules more bnced.


    The same level of attack that could carve a canyon thousands of miles long in the internal world at the ninth rank might now only split a single rock.


    "I can feel that after epting the infusion of chaotic void origin, my internal world has established a connection with the chaotic void, and it''s continuously improving every moment," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    For instance, even without Lin Yuan''s intervention, theyers of space in his internal world were slowly being opened up.


    Lin Yuan''s internal world, beingpletely independent, could slowly absorb the power of the chaotic void.


    Other tenth-rank evolvers were slightly inferior, as they could only absorb power from the main universe, but their progress was likely simr to Lin Yuan''s.


    The spaceyers were being slowly opened up on their own, though at a much slower rate.


    This is why tenth-rank powerhouses don''t concern themselves with the number of spaceyers in their internal world.


    Because at the tenth rank, the internal world naturally syncs with the main universe (or the chaotic void) and will open spaceyers on its own.


    Some ancient enough tenth-rank beings have internal worlds with billions or tens of billions of spaceyers.


    Under such circumstances, the reason some ninth-rank evolvers voluntarily open more spaceyers is to ept more of the universe''s origin infusion.


    A normal ninth-rank evolver with ten million spaceyers would tear a gap a million miles wide to receive the universe''s origin infusion when breaking through to the tenth rank. ?


    However, special ninth-rank evolvers who have opened tens of millions of spaceyers will tear a gap two to three million miles wide.


    Given that the duration of the breakthrough is always 333 seconds, the amount of universe origin infusion received by the two will naturally differ greatly.


    This is the biggest benefit of opening more spaceyers at the ninth rank.


    Lin Yuan opened more than 2.3 billion spaceyers.


    The size of his internal world also exceeded two hundred million miles.


    Thebination of these factors led to a tear in the universe that stretched twelve light-years, allowing him to receive an immeasurable amount of chaotic void origin, causing his strength to far exceed expectations.


    "My current truebat power is equivalent to about three to five Lords of ck Star," Lin Yuan assessed himself objectively.


    The ck Star Lord is an old and experienced A-rank tenth-rank being who hasprehended two pir-level fusion rules.


    If the ck Star Lord were to actually face Lin Yuan, the oue would be...


    The ck Star Lord''s full-force attacks wouldn''t be able to break Lin Yuan''s defense.


    Meanwhile, a casual strike from Lin Yuan would cause the ck Star Lord to cough up blood and suffer severe injuries if it even grazed him.


    "The Elemental Body..." Lin Yuan thought of this divine body technique from the world of the gods.


    Battles between tenth-rank powerhouses are primarily about the strength of their fusion rules.


    And fusion rules are, after all, rules, which the Elemental Body counters extremely well.


    After familiarizing himself with the changes in his power, Lin Yuan moved his mind, and his two primordial spirits appeared before him.


    During the infusion of chaotic void origin, the two primordial spirits also benefited and gained strength almost equal to Lin Yuan''s true body.


    "You go to therge-scale alien battlefield," Lin Yuan said to his Yang Primordial Spirit.


    Now that he had reached the tenth rank, Lin Yuan naturally nned to head to therge-scale alien battlefield.


    If nothing else, at least the speed at which he could umte boundary-breaking source power there would be much faster than on a medium-scale alien battlefield.


    After breaking through to the tenth rank, thest bit of threat posed by therge-scale alien battlefield to Lin Yuan had gradually disappeared. As long as the alien Strongest ones didn''t intervene, he would have nothing to fear.


    Time passed.


    In the blink of an eye, five years had gone by.


    During this time, the news of Lin Yuan''s breakthrough to the tenth rank was officially made public, thanks to the efforts of Xia Qin and other ultimate beings.


    In fact, if it hadn''t been made public soon, the outside world would have started specting whether the Master of the Milky Way Star Domain had reached the tenth rank.


    Given the power Lin Yuan disyed in the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm, breaking through to the tenth rank wouldn''t have been difficult.


    "Tenth rank, Lord Lin Yuan has reached the tenth rank?"


    "Two hundred years, less than two hundred years to be a tenth-rank evolver."


    "Our Cann Star actually produced someone like Lord Lin Yuan."


    Cann Star, after years of development, was no less than the main star of some star systems, but learning that Lin Yuan had be a tenth-rank evolver still caused a great celebration.


    Many young citizens of Cann Star didn''t even understand what it meant to be a tenth-rank evolver, but knowing that their had produced such a prominent figure was exhrating.


    In the virtual world.


    Lin Yuan was chatting with the ck Star Lord, the Lord of zed Star, and several other A-rank tenth-rank beings.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, how did it feel to experience the universe''s origin infusion during your breakthrough to the tenth rank?" the ck Star Lord couldn''t help but ask.


    This was the biggest difference from previous breakthroughs.


    Tenth-rank evolvers, who already have one foot on the peak just below the Strongest ones, could receive the main universe''s origin as a gift.


    This is an unprecedented opportunity, one that even the most extraordinary evolvers would only experience two or three times in their lifetime at most.


    "It was amazing," Lin Yuan said with a smile.


    Even though it had been five years since he broke through to the tenth rank, the sensation of the chaotic void origin infusion still left Lin Yuan deeply captivated.


    That feeling of everything about oneself being rapidly enhanced under the origin infusion was incredibly addictive.


    "Hahaha."


    The ck Star Lord smiled.


    The Lord of zed Star, standing nearby, also smiled.


    Before Lin Yuan reached the tenth rank, these A-rank tenth-rank beings were only interested in befriending him because of his potential.


    But now, with Lin Yuan having broken through to the tenth rank, he was standing at the same level as them.


    Given Lin Yuan''s talent and aptitude, reaching A-rank status was only a matter of time.


    The major powers outside spected that in a few thousand years at most, human civilization would produce another A-rank tenth-rank being.


    What the ck Star Lord and the Lord of zed Star didn''t know was that Lin Yuan''s current strength had already surpassed that of A-rank tenth-rank beings. In a few thousand years?


    Lin Yuan would likely have reached the eleventh rank by then.


    Red Kun Star Domain.


    The Peak Lord of the Red Kun Lineage sat in the grand hall, where various pieces of information about the Master of the Milky Way Star Domain''s breakthrough to the tenth rank shed on the screen before him.


    "Junior Brother has reached the tenth rank," the Peak Lord touched his nose and shook his head, saying, "I remember when I broke through to the eighth rank a step ahead of Junior Brother."


    "Now I''m still stuck at the early stage of the eighth rank, and Junior Brother is already at the tenth rank?"


    The Peak Lord felt a sense of suffocation.


    The little guy who needed his protection to break through to the sixth rank had now grown into the pir of human civilization? And would continue to grow in the future?


    "Fortunately, I maintained a good rtionship with Junior Brother back then," the Peak Lord smiled.


    After reaching the eighth rank, he was stationed in a star domain, and the other Star Lords in the area were eager to befriend him, naturally because of his connection with the Master of the Milky Way Star Domain.


    Wan Yang Star Domain.


    The Holy Son / Prince of Wan Yang looked at the news in front of him, his mindset havingpletely changed.


    "The Thirteenth Peak Lord has reached the tenth rank," the Holy Son of Wan Yang rubbed his forehead. The Thirteenth Peak Lord, who he once viewed as a rival, had now grown into a giant even his teacher had to look up to?


    No, the Wan Yang Star Lord was only an invincible eighth rank. Facing a tenth-rank evolver, he couldn''t even look up to them if he tried.


    "But... no matter how much of a prodigy the Thirteenth Peak Lord is, so what? In the arena, I did beat him once," the Holy Son of Wan Yang thought to himself smugly.


    Just that one incident would give him bragging rights for the rest of his life, something even the Wan Yang Star Lord could only watch.


    Time passed.


    Another two years went by in the blink of an eye.


    Red Kun Star Domain, Red Kun Main Star.


    A vast spatial fluctuation began to spread, and outside the main star, a massive star sea kun slowly swam between theyers of space.


    In the next moment.


    The star sea kun began to rapidly shrink, transforming into an old man wearing a crimson robe.


    "Ninth rank, this is the ninth rank!!"


    The Red Kun Star Lord wept tears of joy, feeling the power from countlessyers of space.


    After more than a hundred years of seclusion, he had finally taken that step and entered the ninth rank.


    "Three hundred thousand years... I, Red Kun, have finally reached the ninth rank."


    The Red Kun Star Lord wept with joy. Given the star sea kun''s affinity for space, he had just entered the ninth rank and had already opened nearly a thousandyers of space.


    "Now... I can finally hold my head up in front of my disciple."


    The Red Kun Star Lord retracted his aura. After Lin Yuan broke through to the ninth rank, this master was still at the eighth rank.


    This put a lot of pressure on the Red Kun Star Lord. Although it wasn''t umon in human civilization for a disciple to surpass their master, the Red Kun Star Lord still had his pride.


    Now that he had reached the ninth rank, he finally had some confidence.


    With this thought, the Red Kun Star Lord connected to the virtual world, intending to announce his sessful breakthrough.


    He also wanted to catch up on what had happened in human civilization over the past hundred years during his seclusion.


    But the more he learned, the more confused the Red Kun Star Lord became.


    "Hmm?"


    ...


    20 chapters ahead on patreon: /David_Lord

 Chapter 361

    Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.


    Themotion caused by the sessful breakthrough of the Red Kun Star Lord immediately drew the attention of many powerful beings on the main star.


    The various Peak Lords noticed it right away and all rushed toward the location of the Red Kun Star Lord.


    There are a total of thirteen Peak Lords in the Red Kun Lineage. The Grand Peak Lord and the Thirteenth Peak Lord are stationed in other star domains.


    The remaining eleven Peak Lords were still on the main star.


    At this moment, as the powerful aura of the Red Kun Star Lord spread, ten of the Peak Lords quickly approached.


    "Teacher."


    "Teacher, have you broken through?"


    "Congrattions, Teacher, for advancing to the Ninth Rank!"One by one, the Peak Lords congratted the Red Kun Star Lord, who was standing with his hands behind his back, eyes closed.


    As disciples of the Red Kun Star Lord, the stronger their teacher became, the more they, as his disciples, would naturally benefit.


    In human civilization, the bond between master and disciple is even closer than that of blood rtives. After all, to be a master and disciple, their levels of life are usually not far apart.


    They can experience the long years together.


    But blood rtives? How many blood rtives of those at the Tenth Rank or Eleventh Rank are still alive?


    Even the Strongest Ones'' blood rtives have mostly perished. Although the Strongest Ones can defy the natural order and resurrect beings from the past, if someone dies due to the limit of their lifespan, even if they are forcibly resurrected, they will quickly die again.


    To achieve eternity, one must be a Twelfth Rank lifeform, stepping out of the river of time.


    "You''ve arrived," the Red Kun Star Lord nced at the many Peak Lords and nodded slightly.


    At this moment, his mind was in turmoil. Just now, his consciousness connected to the virtual world and received much information that had urred over the past hundred years.


    The most dazzling among them was naturally the Milky Way Star Lord.


    Within the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, he went on a killing spree, forcing Ninth Rank experts of several peak hostile races of human civilization to the point where nearly ten thousand Ninth Rank beings voluntarily died within the secret realm. ?


    Afterward, a few years ago, he advanced to the Tenth Rank, standing with one foot at the pinnacle, just below the 11th Rank evolvers and the Strongest Ones.


    "My disciple..." The Red Kun Star Lord remained silent.


    At first, he merely suggested that Lin Yuan explore the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm to see if he could figure out any connection between the Mysterious Emperor evolution path and the secret realm itself.


    Who would have expected Lin Yuan to cause such a hugemotion?


    When the Red Kun Star Lord entered the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, he was cautious. After all, being an invincible Eighth Rank, he was at the bottomyer of the secret realm.


    But Lin Yuan''s performance in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm was so domineering and powerful that even those special Ninth Rank beings had to flee with their heads down; if they were too slow, they would die.


    As for Lin Yuan advancing to the Tenth Rank? Although the Red Kun Star Lord had mixed feelings, there was a hint of relief.


    When Lin Yuan reached the Ninth Rank, the Red Kun Star Lord was still an invincible Eighth Rank, with the hope of breaking through to the Ninth Rank and bing an evolver at the same level as his junior disciple.


    This was also the reason why the Red Kun Star Lord went into seclusion for over a hundred years.


    If not for Lin Yuan''s stimulus, the Red Kun Star Lord might have taken thousands of years to prepare.


    He would have waited until he naturally reached the limit before considering advancing to the Ninth Rank.


    After all, he had a long lifespan. As a star sea kun with peak bloodline, the Red Kun Star Lord''s lifespan far exceeded that of evolvers of the same level.


    But now?


    Lin Yuan had reached the Tenth Rank.


    The Red Kun Star Lord actually felt a sense of relief because the Tenth Rank was not something he could reach by simply closing his eyes and going into seclusion.


    Even though the star sea kun had significant advantages in cultivating at the Ninth Rank, easily opening multipleyers of space due to their affinity with spatial origin,pleting all the stages of the Ninth Rank and opening millions ofyers of space?


    He didn''t even want to think about it without at least 100,000 years.


    And that''s assuming everything goes smoothly.


    If there are any bottlenecks, the time would be greatly extended.


    The Red Kun Star Lord''s thoughts fluctuated, and for a moment, he felt a sense of resignation.


    When the gap wasn''t too wide, there was still the desire to catch up.


    But when the gap was like a chasm, the Red Kun Star Lordpletely lost this desire.


    "Teacher, Junior Brother... Junior Brother has reached the Tenth Rank," the Tenth Peak Lord immediately spoke, sharing the good news with the Red Kun Star Lord.


    "Hmm."


    "I already know."


    The Red Kun Star Lord nced at the Tenth Peak Lord, "You should all learn more from Thirteen in the future."


    As soon as these words were spoken.


    The ten Peak Lords looked at each other in confusion.


    Learn from Junior Brother?


    How could they possibly learn from Junior Brother?


    In the depths of the cosmic void.


    Within a certain secret realm.


    Tuoba Ancient God was sitting cross-legged, his terrifying aura affecting the surrounding time and space.


    "The Milky Way Star Lord, that young one, has reached the Tenth Rank?" Tuoba Ancient God had just finished a short seclusion and received this news from human civilization.


    "Tuoba," a powerful consciousness descended, condensing into a massive phantom, it was none other than the Ancient God Sigu.


    "I told you to return the Milky Way Star Lord''s friend back then. Now look, not only did you gain nothing, but you also offended the Milky Way Star Lord."


    Ancient God Sigu looked at Tuoba Ancient God and shook his head slightly.


    "So what if I offended him?"


    Tuoba Ancient God didn''t care at all.


    Given the Milky Way Star Lord''s disyed talent and potential, advancing to the Tenth Rank was only to be expected.


    Tuoba Ancient God wasn''t worried about this matter. Even if the Milky Way Star Lord advances to the Eleventh Rank in the future, so what?


    As an Ancient God at the pinnacle of the Eleventh Rank, Tuoba Ancient God wasn''t concerned unless the Milky Way Star Lord became a Strongest One. Otherwise, he couldn''t do anything to him.


    But bing a Strongest One, is it that easy?


    "You may not care about the Milky Way Star Lord, but what about the Eleventh Rank evolver in human civilization whoprehended the rules of time? Do you think he won''t care?"


    "This human evolver has a high chance of bing a Strongest One, and when that happens, human civilization will have its tenth Strongest One, which will have profound implications for the power dynamics among the major forces in the universe."


    "You still won''t care?"


    Ancient God Sigu said.


    A few years ago, when the phenomenon of chaotic void origin infusion urred, it was revealed by the Strongest Ones of the alien races that the source came from human civilization.


    Afterward, human civilization publicly announced that a certain hidden Tenth Rank evolver had broken through to the Eleventh Rank.


    This matched the predictions of the alien Strongest Ones.


    "Comprehending the rules of time at the Tenth Rank..." Tuoba Ancient God fell silent.


    He might not care about the Milky Way Star Lord, for even the most unrivaled talent has no direct impact on reaching the ultimate level.


    Butprehending the rules of time at the Tenth Rank? This would significantly aid in the ultimate breakthrough, providing an additional opportunity to withstand the infusion of chaotic void origin.


    The internal world would benefit greatly, making the ultimate leap towards the transformation of the internal universe much easier.


    "It doesn''t affect me either." Tuoba Ancient God nced at Ancient God Sigu, "Even if human civilization gains another Strongest One, it will only influence the power dynamics among the major forces. At worst, I''ll side with the Insect Race."


    Human civilization gaining another Strongest One would only slightly enhance their foundational strength, far from giving them free rein.


    "You n to attempt the ultimate breakthrough within millions of years, and you think siding with the Insect Race won''t have any impact during that time?" Ancient God Sigu chuckled.


    Tuoba Ancient God didn''t respond.


    At this moment, he also felt a twinge of regret. Who could have predicted that the Milky Way Star Lord would be so unyielding?


    And human civilization''s foundation is terrifyingly strong. How long has it been since they produced nine Strongest Ones, and now they have hopes for a tenth?


    Had he known, he would have decisively handed over the Milky Way Star Lord''s friend; it would indeed have been the best choice.


    At least it wouldn''t havepletely offended the Milky Way Star Lord and human civilization.


    Milky Way Star Domain.


    Lin Yuan opened his eyes.


    "Teacher has advanced to the Ninth Rank?" Lin Yuan received the news, a smile appearing on his face.


    Although advancing to the Ninth Rank might not mean much to Lin Yuan now, it was a long-cherished wish for the Red Kun Star Lord.


    "Time to congratte Teacher."


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness connected to the virtual world.


    Personal space.


    Lin Yuan and the Red Kun Star Lord sat facing each other.


    "Congrattions, Teacher, on advancing to the Ninth Rank," Lin Yuan said with a smile.


    "Are you mocking me?" The Red Kun Star Lord rolled his eyes. He hadn''t even mentioned Lin Yuan''s breakthrough to the Tenth Rank.


    Compared to the birth of a Tenth Rank evolver, what does an Eighth Rank breakthrough to the Ninth Rank count for?


    The master and disciple chatted for a while.


    The Red Kun Star Lord could feel that even though his disciple hadpletely surpassed him, there was no trace of the demeanor of a Tenth Rank evolver. It felt as if he was still the same young disciple from before.


    This warmed the Red Kun Star Lord''s heart.


    "By the way, about the connection between the Mysterious Emperor evolution path and the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm..." The Red Kun Star Lord cautiously asked.


    He was quite curious about the rtionship between the two.


    "This time exploring the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm didn''t reveal any connection to the Mysterious Emperor evolution path," Lin Yuan didn''t tell the whole truth.


    Mainly because the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm was too important. Lin Yuan might make it public when he bes a Strongest One, fearless of anything.


    But for now?


    It was better to keep it secret.


    "No connection, huh?" The Red Kun Star Lord felt a bit disappointed, "Well, it makes sense. If I could obtain the evolution path, what would the secret realm matter?"


    The Red Kun Star Lord quickly figured it out.


    It hadn''t been too difficult for him to obtain the Mysterious Emperor evolution path.


    If the Mysterious Emperor evolution path had a crucial connection to the secret realm, how could an invincible Eighth Rank like him have brought it out?


    What the Red Kun Star Lord didn''t know was that the spirit of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm had practically given away the evolution path, hoping to spread it outside.


    However, most powerful beings who obtained this evolution path tried repeatedly and found they couldn''t cultivate it, so they gradually gave up and stopped paying attention.


    asionally, some who could meet the requirements for the Mysterious Emperor evolution path would often fall in the process, unable to reach the threshold needed for the secret realm''s call.


    "Teacher, I n to make the Mysterious Emperor evolution path public and find a few evolvers in human civilization who can cultivate this path."


    Lin Yuan thought for a while and said.


    This was also something he had promised the spirit of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    As for whether other evolvers cultivating the Mysterious Emperor evolution path would threaten Lin Yuan''s control over the secret realm?


    That was no longer possible. Lin Yuan had already refined the secret realm''s core, bing the undisputed master of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm. Even if someone cultivated the Mysterious Emperor evolution path to the Tenth, Eleventh Rank, it wouldn''t affect the secret realm in the slightest.


    "No problem."


    The Red Kun Star Lord nodded.


    "Thank you, Teacher."


    Lin Yuan immediately said.


    Milky Way Star Domain.


    Lin Yuan sessfully uploaded the first to the seventh stage of the Mysterious Emperor evolution path.


    As for the stages from the Eighth to the Twelfth Rank? If one couldn''t even master the first to the seventh stages, there was no need to attempt theter stages.


    "The three goddesses don''t hold the Mysterious Emperor evolution path in high regard," Lin Yuan received the judgment from the Wisdom Goddess regarding the Mysterious Emperor evolution path.


    The most important criterion for human civilization in evaluating an evolution path is its essibility.


    In other words, the number of people who can cultivate this path.


    Even if it''s a path to bing the Strongest One, if the threshold is extremely high and no one can enter, its value won''t be that significant.


    While the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm isn''t inessible, cultivating this evolution path is no easy task.


    Battlefield A098.


    Battlefields designated with an ''A'' arerge-scale alien battlefields.


    Human civilization has established over two million alien battlefields, the vast majority of which are small-scale.


    There are 860,000 medium-scale alien battlefields.


    As forrge-scale alien battlefields? So far, there are only 135.


    Eachrge-scale battlefield is a ughterhouse for the peak races of the universe, where the strongest beings gather.


    The Strongest Ones keep their eyes on them at all times.


    In the central area of Battlefield A098.


    Lin Yuan''s Yang Primordial Spirit was cautiously flying.


    Whether it''s a small-scale, medium-scale, orrge-scale alien battlefield, the space is extremely unstable, and teleportation techniques can cause significant ''errors.''


    These errors might not be dangerous in the vast cosmic void, but on the battlefield?


    If you identally teleport into the enemy''sir, wouldn''t that be seeking death?


    So normally, no strong being dares to use teleportation on the battlefield.


    Lin Yuan was no exception.


    Even though Lin Yuan could minimize errors using the "Nine Steps of Time and Space," the consumption was too great, and themotion caused by using this secret technique was also substantial.


    It would triggeryers of spatial ripples.


    After all, this secret technique is meant as ast-resort ''escape'' method.


    If you''re already in such a dire situation, why care about themotion?


    "Thisrge-scale alien battlefield... is just too vast," Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    It only took him half a year to travel from the Milky Way Star Domain to this battlefield.


    For the next few years, he had been ''slowly'' flying across the battlefield, heading toward the permanent spatial rift.


    Based on Lin Yuan''s understanding of Battlefield A098, thisrge-scale alien battlefield has a diameter of over 500 light-years, which is massive even in the vast cosmic void.


    It is said that the 135rge-scale battlefields established by human civilization were created by the Strongest Ones themselves, capable of withstanding the battles between Eleventh Rank beings.


    "However... Even upon entering the battlefield, I could smell the aura of boundary-breaking power," a smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    Previously, in small-scale and medium-scale battlefields, only near the permanent spatial rift would the umtion of boundary-breaking power elerate.


    But inrge-scale alien battlefields? Even on the edge of the battlefield, Lin Yuan noticed a slight increase in the umtion speed of boundary-breaking power.


    Even a slight increase is an increase, andpared to small-scale and medium-scale battlefields, this is a qualitative change.


    "I wonder, once I get close to that permanent spatial rift, how much will the umtion speed of boundary-breaking power increase?"


    Lin Yuan was a bit excited.


    Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    Lin Yuan''s Yin Primordial Spirit floated in mid-air.


    Since breaking through to the Tenth Rank, Lin Yuan asionally entered the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm to familiarize himself with his greatly enhanced power.


    The Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm could block even the prying eyes of the Strongest Ones, allowing Lin Yuan to unleash his power without any reservations.


    Boom, boom, boom.


    Terrifying energy waves swept across one-tenth of the secret realm. Compared to ordinary Tenth Rank beings, Lin Yuan''s power was immeasurably stronger.


    After enduring a chaotic void infusion from a rift over 12 light-years wide for 333 seconds, Lin Yuan''s entire being underwent a massive transformation from inside out.


    Compared to when he was at the Ninth Rank, Lin Yuan was now much stronger.


    It was like a tiny ant turning into a divine dragon.


    Crash, crash.


    Layer uponyer of space was torn apart. The power Lin Yuan unleashed with a simple gesture was enough to annihte Tenth Rank beings at the C or B level.


    Only Tenth Rank beings who hadprehended pir-level fusion rules at the A level could withstand the aftershocks of Lin Yuan''s power.


    But even then, it was like a small boat floating in a vast ocean, always on the verge of sinking.


    "Master, your current power, even without the support of any rules, has already surpassed the Tenth Rank limit," said the spirit of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, a six-armed figure appearing in the distance, gazing in awe at the center of the vast power emanating from Lin Yuan.


    The main cultivation method for Tenth Rank beings is to continuously fuse various rules.


    And fusion rules are the most crucial means of attack for Tenth Rank beings.


    But now?


    Without borrowing any rules, Lin Yuan''s power had already surpassed the limits of the Tenth Rank; it was simply unbelievable.


    "Just surpassing the Tenth Rank limit?" Lin Yuan withdrew his aura, feeling a bit disappointed.


    Compared to when he first reached the Tenth Rank, Lin Yuan''s strength had increased significantly. He had initially thought he might barely reach the threshold of the Eleventh Rank.


    "Master..." The six-armed figure was at a loss for words.


    The Tenth Rank and Eleventh Rank arepletely different realms.


    Just surpassing the Tenth Rank limit doesn''t mean one has reached the Eleventh Rank.


    If the Tenth Rank limit is a hundred, then the Eleventh Rank is a thousand, a million.


    Surpassing the Tenth Rank limit by reaching a hundred and ten or a hundred and twenty still leaves a vast distance from the Eleventh Rank.


    During the peak period of the Mysterious Emperor Lineage, there were indeed some exceptionally powerful Tenth Rank beings who, with the help of secret techniques and weapons, could briefly confront Eleventh Rank beings.


    But now, Lin Yuan wanted to rely solely on his pure strength to reach the threshold of the Eleventh Rank.


    This left the six-armed figure unsure of what to say.


    If one could rely solely on their pure strength to match the Eleventh Rank, would they still be a Tenth Rank being?


    After multiple attempts within the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    Lin Yuan had roughly gauged his current strength.


    He was basically invincible at the Tenth Rank. Normal Tenth Rank A-level beings wouldn''tst long against him.


    If Lin Yuan were to go all out, paying a huge price, he might be able to temporarily elevate his strength to the threshold of the Eleventh Rank.


    For example, by using the divine power ''Enhancement.''


    Enhancing his physical body, soul, mind, will, and internal world by tenfold, the boost to his strength would likely be a hundredfold, a thousandfold, allowing him to break into the Eleventh Rank realm.


    "Fusion rules..."


    After reflecting for a while, Lin Yuan resumed his cultivation and enlightenment.


    "Life rules... Death rules." Lin Yuan raised his hands, his left hand filled with warm vitality, while his right hand was enveloped in cold death.


    "Life and death, an endless cycle?"


    A flood of inspiration surged through Lin Yuan''s mind, and the forces of life and death between his hands began to slowly merge together.

 Chapter 362

    Breaking through to the Tenth Rank brought Lin Yuan not only a significant boost in raw power but also an additional benefit:prehending rules became much easier.


    The perspective from the Ninth Rank is different from that of the Tenth Rank, and naturally, the view changes as well.


    Lin Yuan''s Unrivaled Insight was the same. When he was at the Ninth Rank,prehending the fusion of pir-level rules felt obscure and difficult.


    But at the Tenth Rank?


    While it couldn''t be called easy, it certainly wasn''t as obscure anymore.


    In the years since stepping into the Tenth Rank, Lin Yuan first focused on deeply understanding the fusion between the rules of life and death, two pir rules.


    At this moment, all of his insights transformed into inspiration, pushing Lin Yuan to take that final step.


    [Your Unrivaled Insight allows you toprehend the fusion of the rules of life and death.]


    [Your Unrivaled Insight allows you toprehend the fusion of the rules of life and death.][Your Unrivaled Insight allows you to sessfully fuse the rules of life and death.]


    Boom.


    Lin Yuan''s mind resonated as the rules of life and death fully fused, forming a brand-new rule power.


    This new rule power epassed both life and death, allowing the two to cycle endlessly, seemingly without end.


    "I''ve finallyprehended a pir-level fusion rule."


    A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    Normally, when a Tenth Rank evolverprehends a pir-level fusion rule, which is a new rule formed by the fusion of at least two pir-level rules, they can then be ssified as Tenth Rank A-level.


    However, this step takes a very long time for most Tenth Rank evolvers.


    But Lin Yuan had two significant advantages. First, he had an extremely deep foundation, having fullyprehended the various pir-level rules even before reaching the Tenth Rank.


    Secondly, his Unrivaled Insight was extraordinary.


    Most Tenth Rank evolvers, when they first enter this level, haven''t even fullyprehended several pir-level rules, let alone fused them into a pir-level fusion rule.


    They simply aren''t on the same level.


    "The fusion of the rules of life and death... the rule I''veprehended should be the Samsara of Life and Death Rule," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The Samsara of Life and Death Rule is a very powerful fusion rule among the various pir-level rules. The two pir rules it epasses¡ªlife and death¡ªarepletely opposite extremes.


    The difficulty of fusing the rules of life and death is greater than the fusion of other pir rules, but once sessfully fused, the power of the Samsara of Life and Death Rule is extraordinarily terrifying.


    "My current strength should now reach the threshold of the Eleventh Rank, right?" Lin Yuan pondered.


    For a typical Tenth Rank expert,prehending a pir-level fusion rule significantly enhances their strength, creating a qualitative change.


    There are different types of pir-level fusion rules, each with its own focus, but no matter which type, they all elevate a Tenth Rank expert to the A-level threat list.


    So¡ª


    Afterprehending the Samsara of Life and Death Rule, Lin Yuan''s strength also saw a significant increase.


    Simply put¡ª


    If the pir-level fusion rule is likened to a sharp de, it can cause tremendous damage in the hands of amon person and even greater damage in the hands of an evolver.


    The same Samsara of Life and Death Rule, when wielded by Lin Yuan, would naturally unleash vastly different powerpared to a normal Tenth Rank A-level expert.


    "Let''s try it out again."


    Lin Yuan''s mind stirred.


    His Yin Primordial Spirit immediately descended into the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    After bing the master of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, Lin Yuan could use the Mysterious Emperor Mark to enter the secret realm from any location in the universe.


    As for leaving?


    Apart from the fixed 333 exits from the secret realm, he could also establish ''waymarks'' to serve as connections and guidance to exit.


    Lin Yuan had long since established these, using his true form as the ''waymark'' for leaving.


    Earlier, when the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm was closing, he exited alongside other Ninth Rank evolvers to create the impression that he too was leaving the secret realm.


    Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    Lin Yuan''s Yin Primordial Spirit descended once more.


    "Master."


    The six-armed figure appeared, looking at Lin Yuan with a slight hint of confusion.


    "I''m going to test my strength again," Lin Yuan said directly.


    "Very well," the six-armed figure nodded.


    Although it wasn''t clear why Lin Yuan wanted to repeat the test, the six-armed figure would obey anymand from its master.


    "What is the limit of this secret realm''s endurance?" Lin Yuan asked before making his move.


    "The limit of its endurance?" The six-armed figure pondered for a moment, "Attacks below the ultimate level are generally not a problem."


    The Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm could avoid detection by the Strongest Ones by merging into the countlessyers of space within the main universe.


    However, the secret realm itself didn''t have the ability to withstand the attacks of the Strongest Ones.


    But while it couldn''t resist the Strongest Ones, it could easily handle the attacks of Eleventh Rank beings.


    "That''s good to know," Lin Yuan nodded.


    "I''ve justprehended a fusion rule and want to test it out."


    "Help me assess whether its power has reached the threshold of the Eleventh Rank."


    After speaking, Lin Yuan raised his right hand and gently pressed forward.


    Buzz.


    The terrifying power of the fused rules of life and death began to erupt, with the aura of these two extreme rules permeating theyers of space, subtly affecting the stability of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    "This...?" The six-armed figure''s expression changed slightly.


    "Master, you can''t continue attacking," the six-armed figure quickly said.


    "Hmm?"


    Lin Yuan also noticed the change in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    His use of the Samsara of Life and Death Rule hadn''t shaken the secret realm, but it had continuously affected the core essence of the secret realm.


    "No wonder it''s the Samsara of Life and Death Rule," Lin Yuan marveled.


    With his profound foundation and strength, the destructive power unleashed by the Samsara of Life and Death Rule had indeed reached the threshold of the Eleventh Rank.


    "Master, thatst strike did indeed reach the threshold of the Eleventh Rank," the six-armed figure immediately confirmed.


    At the same time, there was a hint of awe in its expression. How could someone just entering the Tenth Rank produce such a terrifying strike? Is this even a Tenth Rank being?


    "I know," Lin Yuan said, feeling pleased. "But even though that strike reached the Eleventh Rank threshold, it''s still somewhat weaker than a true Eleventh Rank expert."


    The so-called Eleventh Rank threshold refers to a casual strike from someone who has just entered the Eleventh Rank.


    However, Lin Yuan wasn''t discouraged. After all, how long had it been since he reached the Tenth Rank? To be able to achieve this level already, it was entirely possible that he could challenge Eleventh Rank experts in another few decades or centuries.


    Virtual World.


    Afterprehending the Samsara of Life and Death Rule, Lin Yuan gathered with the ck Star Lord and the Lord of zed Star for a chat.


    "Hahaha, Milky Way Star Lord, your Tenth Rank celebration is almost as grand as Deputy Tower Master Nn''s Eleventh Rank celebration," the ck Star Lordughed.


    "I didn''t expect everyone to be so enthusiastic either," Lin Yuan smiled.


    After reaching the Tenth Rank, Lin Yuan held a Tenth Rank celebration, and he received numerous congrattions and celebrations from Tenth and Eleventh Rank evolvers of human civilization, as well as many other forces.


    Of course, besides the congrattory messages, the gifts were naturally generous.


    Even the ck Star Lord and the Lord of zed Star had sent substantial gifts.


    After the celebration, Lin Yuan had received seven or eight million cosmic crystals just in gift money.


    "This is because the celebration was held by the Milky Way Star Lord."


    "When I broke through to the Tenth Rank and held a celebration, it wasn''t nearly this grand."


    The ck Star Lord shook his head. The Milky Way Star Lord''s potential was limitless, and with the talent and aptitude he had shown, his advancement to the Eleventh Rank was practically certain.


    So it was only natural that many evolvers and forces would want to send gifts.


    When the ck Star Lord first entered the Tenth Rank, his celebration was only slightly more lively than a typical Tenth Rank celebration. At that time, his potential was far from reaching the level that Lin Yuan had now disyed.


    "When you hold your Eleventh Rank celebration, it will definitely be even grander than mine," Lin Yuan immediately said.


    "Let''s hope so," the ck Star Lord smiled.


    He also longed to reach the Eleventh Rank, but taking that step required more than just umtion.


    If it hadn''t been for Lin Yuan''s stimulus leading to a change in mentality, Deputy Tower Master Nn might have taken another tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years to break through.


    Even so, it was only a possibility, not a certainty.


    After chatting with the ck Star Lord and the Lord of zed Star for a while longer, Lin Yuan disconnected from the virtual world.


    "Now that I''veprehended the Samsara of Life and Death Rule, I can finally explore the ck."


    Lin Yuan''s mind shifted slightly.


    The ck was a mysterious that Lin Yuan''s Yin Primordial Spirit had discovered by chance on his return from the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    In the center of the were twelverge gates, and the prerequisite for entering any of them wasprehending a pir-level fusion rule.


    Lin Yuan recalled that one of the gates required the Samsara of Life and Death Rule to enter.


    "The ck..." Lin Yuan''s expression turned serious.


    ording to the Wisdom Goddess, the ck originated from an ancient era when countless treasures descended from outside the universe.


    Human civilization''s rise was closely rted to this event, and it''s said that they obtained some key treasure inheritances.


    So Lin Yuan ced great importance on the ck.


    "Time to take a look."


    Lin Yuan''s Yin Primordial Spirit appeared and then vanished, heading toward the star domain where the ck was located.


    Deste Star Domain.


    Outside a seemingly ordinary ck.


    Lin Yuan''s figure emerged.


    As per his habit, he left a drop of blood outside as a safeguard.


    Then, Lin Yuan descended onto the ck.


    In the center of the.


    Twelve ck gates stood tall, faintly emitting an ancient and mysterious aura.


    Lin Yuan observed for a while and finally stood before one of the ck gates.


    This gate corresponded to the Samsara of Life and Death Rule.


    Only those who hadprehended this pir-level fusion rule could enter.


    "What should I do now?"


    Lin Yuan stood outside the ck gate, frowning slightly.


    He then extended his hand, attempting to push open the ck gate.


    But the ck gate remained motionless.


    "Samsara of Life and Death Rule..." Lin Yuan nced at the intricate pattern engraved on the ck gate.


    The pattern wasplex, but Lin Yuan could understand its meaning at a nce.


    "Comprehending the Samsara of Life and Death Rule grants entry!"


    After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan tried to infuse the power of the Samsara of Life and Death Rule into the ck gate.


    Before long¡ª


    As Lin Yuan watched, a deep voice echoed in his ear.


    "Entry conditions met."


    In the next moment, the ck gate began to tremble and slowly opened with a rumbling sound.


    Lin Yuan didn''t hesitate and stepped inside.


    "What is this ce?"


    Upon entering the ck gate, Lin Yuan''s expression changed slightly as he looked around.


    ...


    20 chapters ahead on patreon: /David_Lord

 Chapter 363

    Inside the ck gate was a vast expanse of space.


    "Is this a contained space?" Lin Yuan looked around cautiously.


    The ck wasn''trge, yet the space within the gate was so expansive. Lin Yuan didn''t find this surprising. It was just a deeper application of space rules.


    Lin Yuan''s internal world spanned more than two hundred million miles, yet it was contained within a sea of qi the size of a fist. It was a simr principle.


    "The suppression in this space is incredibly strong," Lin Yuan thought to himself, shocked.


    The pressure here far surpassed that of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, to the point where Lin Yuan couldn''t even merge with the spatialyers.


    "There."


    Lin Yuan looked ahead and saw a narrow path made of ck stones, surrounded by a vast white area.


    "The only safe way forward is along this ck stone path," Lin Yuan thought as his forehead twitched. The white areas filled him with an instinctive fear, while the narrow ck stone path offered a sense of safety."What?"


    "I can''t go back?"


    Lin Yuan turned to look and found that the gate behind him had already disappeared.


    There was only one path ahead for Lin Yuan now¡ªcontinuing forward.


    "Oh well."


    "At worst, I''ll lose this Primordial Spirit."


    "It''s not something I can''t ept."


    After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan began walking along the ck stone path.


    Lin Yuan had already informed the Wisdom Goddess about this ck, so the three goddesses were likely aware of it by now.


    If the three goddesses knew, then Supreme Xia Qin and other ultimate beings must also be aware.


    Given that Supreme Xia Qin hadn''t specifically warned him, it indicated that this ck probably wasn''t overly dangerous.


    The ck was rted to an ancient event where countless treasures fell into the universe, and since human civilization had inherited key treasures from that event, Supreme Xia Qin should have a good understanding of the ck.


    The fact that Supreme Xia Qin didn''t warn Lin Yuan suggested that there was no insurmountable danger here.


    Time passed.


    In the blink of an eye, half an hour had gone by.


    "Hm?"


    "I can feel the fluctuations of other rules fading, while only the rules of life and death are bing clearer?" Lin Yuan noticed the change around him.


    "Rules of life and death? Could this ce be rted to the Samsara of Life and Death Rule?"


    Many spections crossed Lin Yuan''s mind, but they were just that¡ªspections. The only way to find out was to keep moving forward.


    At the Xiayou Evolution Tower.


    Supreme Xia Qin seemed to sense something, lifting his head slightly to look toward a specific area.


    If Lin Yuan were present, he would have realized that the area Supreme Xia Qin was looking at was the star domain where the ck was located.


    "That little guy has entered," Supreme Xia Qin said with a smile.


    Buzz.


    A figure quickly condensed beside him¡ªit was Supreme Yu Die.


    "That inheritance star must be a remnant from that ancient event. We''ve been unaware of it for so many years, and that little guy just stumbled upon it. It''s luck," Supreme Yu Die smiled faintly.


    The ck''s aura was entirely concealed, even to the point where Supreme beings wouldn''t notice it unless they were within a certain proximity.


    Otherwise, with the perception of Supreme beings, who could see across millions and billions of light-years and scan the entire universe, they wouldn''t have taken so long to find it.


    Some treasures hide themselves. If you don''t get close, you won''t notice anything unusual.


    In fact, some treasures are so well-hidden that even if you do get close, you might not notice anything unless you meet specific conditions.


    For example, Lin Yuan''s mysterious gourd¡ªif it weren''t for his mastery of the physical divine ability "Blood Rebirth," he might never have figured out its use.


    "The inheritance star contains various paths of pir-level fusion rules. Only Tenth Rank beings can enter. If that little guy can pass three or four of these paths, he might be able to break through to the Eleventh Rank," Supreme Xia Qin said.


    "Pass three or four paths?" Supreme Yu Die pondered for a moment.


    Normally, a Tenth Rank evolver only needs to pass one path to reach the Eleventh Rank, but considering Lin Yuan''s impressive track record, it wasn''t impossible for him to pass three or four.


    "But I wonder what level of fusion rule paths this inheritance star contains?"


    Supreme Xia Qin murmured to himself.


    ording to the highest secrets held by human civilization, inheritance stars that came from outside the universe also had different levels of quality.


    The higher the level of fusion rule paths contained within, the more precious the inheritance star, but the more difficult it was to pass.


    However, to know the level of the fusion rule paths, one must first sessfully pass a path.


    If you don''t pass it, even a Supreme being wouldn''t be able to know.


    Supreme beings could destroy the ck, but if the inheritance star sensed an unstoppable threat, it would initiate self-destruction.


    Inside the ck gate.


    In the vast space, Lin Yuan walked step by step along the narrow ck stone path.


    He didn''t know how much time had passed.


    Eventually, Lin Yuan arrived at a ck altar.


    "Here..."


    Lin Yuan stopped and began to carefully sense his surroundings.


    He could no longer perceive the fluctuations of other rules. Only the rules of life and death had be incredibly clear.


    Theck of other rule fluctuations meant that Lin Yuan couldn''t rely on the power of those rules.


    For instance, the fusion rule "Spatial Disintegration," which Lin Yuan hadprehended, was abination of the space rule and the gold rule.


    But in this space, the power of that fusion rule would be greatly weakened because he couldn''t sense the space rule or the gold rule.


    He could only rely on his mastery of the "Spatial Disintegration" fusion rule.


    "But where do I go now?"


    Lin Yuan studied the altar before him.


    After waiting cautiously for a while and seeing no change, he stepped onto the altar.


    As soon as Lin Yuan stepped onto the altar, it began to tremble slightly.


    Buzz.


    Arge amount of ck light quickly gathered, condensing into a stern-faced man in a ck robe.


    "Who are you?" Lin Yuan looked at the man in the ck robe with a serious expression.


    "Greetings."


    "I am the spirit of this altar. I''m here to test you."


    "If you pass, you''ll receive the final reward of this fusion rule path."


    The ck-robed man spoke calmly as he looked at Lin Yuan.


    "Spirit of the altar?"


    Lin Yuan quickly understood the ck-robed man''s "role," simr to Shen Ji, the human-shaped stone statue in the Devil Jade Space, or the six-armed figure in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    "May I ask, Senior, what is the final reward?" Lin Yuan immediately inquired.


    "You''ll find out once you pass," the ck-robed man shook his head. "Only those who pass the test will know what the final reward is, but I can give you a hint¡ªthe final reward is rted to the Samsara of Life and Death Rule."


    "I see."


    Lin Yuan seemed to understand, though inwardly he was a bit exasperated.


    Of course, he could guess that the final reward was rted to the Samsara of Life and Death Rule.


    Would the final reward on a path that requires the Samsara of Life and Death Rule be something rted to the Great Destruction Rule instead?


    "What is the test?" Lin Yuan asked again.


    "The test is about your mastery of the Samsara of Life and Death Rule," the ck-robed man said sinctly.


    "You''ve probably already noticed that in this space, only the fluctuations of the life and death rules are present, while the other rules cannot be sensed."


    The ck-robed man exined.


    "Yes."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    Simply put, the most powerful rule Lin Yuan could use right now was the Samsara of Life and Death Rule.


    "Now."


    The ck-robed man waved his hand, and several dozen ck stone walls descended, standing in the distance.


    The ck stone walls were arranged in a sequence from front to back.


    "The Samsara of Life and Death Rule is a rule of ughter, and the test of this rule is based on the level of destruction you can cause."


    "Now, I want you to fully activate the Samsara of Life and Death Rule and attack these ck stone walls. The more walls you prate, the greater your chance of passing the test."


    The ck-robed man didn''t waste words and spoke directly.


    "Fully activate?"


    Lin Yuan asked for rification.


    "That''s right."


    "Fully activate."


    "Let me see the limits of your destructive power."


    The ck-robed man nced at Lin Yuan, seemingly puzzled by why he would ask such a question.


    "Don''t worry. I can tell that you''ve only recently mastered the Samsara of Life and Death Rule."


    "In this situation, even if you fully activate the Samsara of Life and Death Rule, it will be challenging just to prate the first ck stone wall, let alone all of them."


    The ck-robed man patiently exined.


    Although he had already estimated the scope of destruction Lin Yuan''s Samsara of Life and Death Rule could cause, he still needed Lin Yuan to take the test to confirm it.


    "Very well."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    Sinceprehending the Samsara of Life and Death Rule, he had never fully unleashed it.


    Even in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, he had only used it sparingly, stopping as soon as he noticed its impact on the secret realm.


    "Begin."


    The ck-robed man fell silent after speaking.


    From the moment Lin Yuan used a trace of the Samsara of Life and Death Rule to open the outer gate and enter, the ck-robed man had already made a rough assessment of Lin Yuan''s mastery of the rule.


    "Samsara of Life and Death."


    Lin Yuan raised his right hand and extended his index finger, carefully pointing toward the row of ck stone walls.


    The ck-robed man initially maintained a neutral expression, but his demeanor suddenly changed dramatically. He looked at Lin Yuan''s simple point with disbelief.


    "What?"


    The ck-robed man''s pupils contracted sharply.


    In the next instant¡ª


    The power of the Samsara of Life and Death Rule instantly prated through billions ofyers of space, tearing open a hole. The ck stone walls were crushed without resistance.


    Even after shattering all the ck stone walls, the force continued to extend far beyond, piercing through the entire space and pushing even deeper.


    It wasn''t until a faint, obscure vibration was felt that everything calmed down.


    Even so, the gray area that the force had prated was still distorted and disintegrating under the endless cycle of the Samsara of Life and Death.


    At the Xiayou Evolution Tower.


    Supreme Xia Qin and Supreme Yu Die continued to observe the ck while casually chatting.


    At that moment¡ª


    A peculiar look appeared on Supreme Xia Qin''s face.


    He then carefully observed the ck from countless light-years away.


    Momentster¡ª


    Supreme Xia Qin narrowed his eyes and spoke:


    "Yu Die."


    "Did you notice that the inheritance star..."


    "...seemed to tremble just now?"


    ...


    20 chapters ahead on patreon: /David_Lord

 Chapter 364

    "Did it tremble?"


    Yu Die was surprised. These types of inheritance stars are divided into three types.


    There are ninth-rank space inheritance stars, tenth-rank fusion rule inheritance stars, and eleventh-rank fusion rule inheritance stars.


    The ck belongs to the tenth-rank fusion rule inheritance star, only allowing tenth-rank beings to enter.


    Besidesprehending the corresponding pir-level fusion rule, there''s also an implicit requirement for the level of life: a higher eleventh-rank being or a lower ninth-rank being would not meet the conditions.


    Given the "weight" of a tenth-rank fusion rule inheritance star, if it were outside, even an eleventh-rank powerhouse would not be able to shake it in the slightest.


    If it were inside? An attack at the eleventh-rank level might cause an impact, but this involves a paradox.


    That is, a tenth-rank fusion rule inheritance star does not allow eleventh-rank beings to enter.


    An eleventh-rank being can''t enter, and a tenth-rank being is too far from an eleventh-rank being.In addition, the inheritance space within the inheritance star suppresses other rule fluctuations, only allowing the corresponding fusion rule to operate, rendering all external secret treasures and other means useless¡ª


    Which makes each inheritance star extremely stable, not subject to changes due to external forces.


    That''s why Xia Qin was somewhat surprised.


    "Let me take a look."


    Yu Die moved her thoughts slightly.


    A projection of herself descended outside the ck.


    At the same time.


    The time in the region millions of miles around the ck suddenly began to "reverse."


    It was as if a scene originally ying at "normal speed" suddenly began to "rewind."


    Time reversal.


    A secret technique that any being who hasprehended the time rule can perform.


    But even Lin Yuan, when performing time reversal, could only cover an area of tens to hundreds of miles at most.


    Anything more would be exhausting, while the time reversal area of Yu Die directly covered millions of miles.


    And this was just a negligible projection of Yu Die. As long as she was within the territory of human civilization, under the coverage of the virtualwork, she could create as many such projections as she wanted. ??


    "It indeed trembled."


    Yu Die nodded slightly. Through time reversal, she also discovered that the ck had undergone a minor tremor.


    "Why is that?"


    Xia Qin was a bit surprised.


    There are only two possibilities.


    One is that something went wrong or unexpectedly within the ck itself.


    The second is that a powerhouse within the inheritance space of the ck unleashed an eleventh-rank attack, exceeding the ck''s internal tolerance limit, causing the earlier scene.


    Let''s set aside the first possibility for now.


    The second possibility? Currently, there''s only Lin Yuan in the inheritance space of the ck.


    In other words, if it''s this possibility, then the one who unleashed the eleventh-rank attack was Lin Yuan.


    But how is that possible?


    If the gap between the eighth and ninth ranks is one, then the gap between the ninth and tenth ranks is a hundred, and between the tenth and eleventh ranks is ten thousand.


    To fight across ranks?


    At the third, fourth, and fifth ranks, it might be possible by relying on one''s bloodline, physique, and secret techniques.


    But the higher the rank, the less likely such things happen, until it bes impossible.


    The two strongest ones knew that when Lin Yuan broke through to the tenth rank, he endured the infusion of vast primordial chaos, gaining immense benefits.


    But no matter how great the benefits, it doesn''t change the fact that Lin Yuan is a tenth-rank being.


    Perhaps with Lin Yuan''s talent and potential, coupled with the infusion of so much primordial chaos, he could cultivate to the peak of the tenth rank and hope to raise his attack power to the threshold of the eleventh rank.


    But how long has it been? Normally, a newly promoted tenth-rank evolver wouldn''t have fully familiarized themselves with their massively increased power, yet Lin Yuan''s attack power has already reached the threshold of the eleventh rank?


    "This little guy..." Yu Die shook her head slightly.


    Since the two of them started paying attention to Lin Yuan, the frequency of their astonishment almost matched that of the past millions to tens of millions of yearsbined.


    Human civilization''s Star Sea Calendar spans only over two million years, but before the Star Sea Calendar, there were long years of dormancy.


    Xia Qin and Yu Die are far more than two million years old; they were born before those long years of dormancy.


    Inside the ck.


    In the vast world.


    A man in ck robes stared nkly at the terrifying scene Lin Yuan had created with one strike.


    The power of life and death reincarnation, emitting a terrifying aura, continuously spread out through the holes, distorting and annihting even space.


    "Is this the life and death reincarnation rule you justprehended?"


    The man in ck robes was silent for a long time, "At least it''sparable to the second or even third realm of the life and death reincarnation rule."


    The man in ck robes turned his gaze toward Lin Yuan, who had just unleashed that strike, reying countless scenes in his mind.


    As the spirit of the altar, he had absolute control over this space.


    The life and death reincarnation rule that Lin Yuan operated was indeed something he had justprehended, only at the initial stage of the first realm.


    Whether it''s a new rule formed by ordinary rule fusion or a new rule formed by pir-level rule fusion, they are divided into realms from the first to the ninth based on the level ofprehension.


    A tenth-rank evolver needs toprehend at least one pir-level fusion rule and cultivate it to the second realm to break through to the eleventh rank.


    Comprehending rules is extremely difficult, let alone the fusion of rules. If it''s a rule originally existing in the universe, one only needs to quietlyprehend the rule fluctuations.


    It''s like having a path to follow. Although difficult, there''s at least an end in sight.


    But fusion rules? Fusion rules are created by the strong based on their understanding and the characteristics of different rules.


    In the cultivation of fusion rules, each realm is vastly different.


    "Why does a first-realm life and death reincarnation rule have such great power?" The man in ck robes carefully observed Lin Yuan.


    "He hasn''t relied on any external force, nor was there any fluctuation of secret treasures or weapons; is it because of his own strength? His physical body and blood are far beyond those of a normal tenth-rank being."


    The man in ck robes faintly realized something.


    The trial in this world doesn''t allow the use of any external forces.


    But external forces refer to weapons, secret treasures, or higher-level trump cards.


    What about one''s own strength, like the physical body, soul, heart, and will¡ªis that considered external force?


    In the initial rules of the ck, these weren''t considered external forces.


    Although Lin Yuan''s life and death reincarnation rule was just newlyprehended, at the initial stage of the first realm, his foundation was extraordinarily strong.


    It''s like the difference between wielding the same de with a strength of one hundred pounds versus one hundred tons.


    The power unleashed is evidently different.


    Here, the "de" refers to the life and death reincarnation rule.


    The level ofprehension of the life and death reincarnation rule indeed affects the power of such fusion rules.


    But it''s also rted to the strength of the one who masters this rule.


    "Senior, have I passed the trial?" Lin Yuan, after unleashing his full power with one strike, looked at the man in ck robes standing not far away and asked.


    The man in ck robes had instructed him not to hold back, so Lin Yuan naturally didn''t hold back. That strike was a full-force effort, pouring all his internal world power, physical strength, and soul power, as well as the third stage of the "Mysterious Emperor Strike," into it.


    As for the divine ability "Enhancement"? Lin Yuan didn''t use it. If he had activated that divine ability, it wouldn''t have been a full-force strike but rather a desperate one.


    "ording to the rules, you''ve passed the trial." The man in ck robes said in a wooden tone.


    The original trial set by the ck was that Lin Yuan only needed to possess the power of the life and death reincarnation rule at the peak of the first realm to pass.


    This is basically the peak a tenth-rank being can reach.


    As for the second realm of the life and death reincarnation rule? Once a pir-level fusion rule is cultivated to the second realm, it quickly crosses into the eleventh rank.


    Lin Yuan''s life and death reincarnation rule, though only at the initial stage of the first realm in terms ofprehension, had reached the threshold of the third realm in power.


    "That''s good." A smile appeared on Lin Yuan''s face.


    The trial inside the ck wasn''t too troublesome; it only required unleashing one strike.


    "Through that door lies the ultimate reward on this path." The man in ck robes looked at Lin Yuan for a moment before speaking.


    Not far away.


    A ck door appeared at some point.


    Compared to the twelve great doors outside, this ck door was only five meters high, rather small in size.


    "But let me remind you of one thing."


    "Any being has only one chance to enter this door. If youe out halfway, even if you pass the trial again, you won''t be able to enter."


    The man in ck robes reminded him.


    "Is there any danger inside the door?" Lin Yuan asked tentatively.


    "There''s no danger." The man in ck robes shook his head. He didn''t know what was inside the door, but there was indeed no danger.


    "Will there be any need for strength inside the door?" Lin Yuan continued to ask.


    "Since you''ve already passed the trial, there''s no need for further testing." The man in ck robes replied.


    "Can I send a projection inside?" Lin Yuan thought for a moment and asked.


    A projection is different from a clone. A projection is a vessel formed by a trace of spiritual will gathering cosmic power.


    Its strength is far lower than that of the true self or a clone.


    Since the man in ck robes reminded him that once inside the door, he couldn''te out and then re-enter, Lin Yuan had to be cautious.


    "You can." The man in ck robes nodded.


    "Good." Lin Yuan moved his mind slightly.


    A phantom figure condensed in front of him.


    Then, after exchanging a nce with Lin Yuan, it stepped into the ck door.


    "What is this ce?" After briefly experiencing darkness, Lin Yuan''s projection felt like a fish leaping out of water, finally reaching its destination.


    It was a space about several miles in radius.


    The left half was filled with the fluctuations of life rules, while the right half was filled with the fluctuations of death rules.


    The two rules intertwined, converting into each other, and merging.


    The end of life is death; the end of death is life.


    The cycle of life and death, unending.


    "A guide path for fusion rules?" Lin Yuan''s heart surged.


    Fusion rules are not like the inherent rules of the universe, which have a general direction.


    Theprehension of fusion rules mainly depends on oneself.


    But nothing is absolute.


    If a being with aprehension of a fusion rule at the seventh realm is willing to "strip away" their understanding, they can create a guide path like this.


    However, a fusion rule at the seventh realm? Even if it''s a fusion rule of ordinary rules, the seventh realm is the limit for eleventh-rank beings.


    If it''s a pir-level fusion rule at the seventh realm, that''s the domain of the strongest ones.


    The life and death reincarnation rule in front of him is a pir-level rule, meaning that the guide path for the life and death reincarnation rule formed here originates from a strongest one who stripped away their understanding of this fusion rule.


    This stripping is a permanent one, even for the strongest ones, a considerable sacrifice.


    "A guide path for the life and death reincarnation rule up to the fourth realm¡­" Lin Yuan meditated briefly and came to a conclusion.


    A guide path to the fourth realm, meaning Lin Yuan could obtain specific guidance from this path inprehending the life and death reincarnation rule from the first to the fourth realm.


    Depending on the extent of stripping the strongest one underwent, the final guide path would differ.


    If it''s just a guide path to the second realm, it wouldn''t have much impact on the strongest one, who could regain the lost understanding after several thousand years of meditation.


    But a guide path to the third realm would significantly impact the strongest one, requiring at least tens of thousands of years to recover.


    A guide path to the fourth realm is the limit that a strongest one can recover from. If it''s a guide path to the fifth realm, the strongest one who stripped their understanding might have to give up this fusion rule altogether.


    "What is the origin of this ck, that it can make a strongest one pay such a price?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    No, it''s not just one strongest one.


    Maybe twelve strongest ones.


    Because there are twelve ck doors on the ck.


    Each ck door corresponds to a different pir-level fusion rule. Based on the life and death reincarnation rule''s guide path that Lin Yuan was currently observing, the final reward behind the other eleven ck doors was likely simr.


    "Never mind."


    "I''ll focus onprehending first."


    Lin Yuan gathered his thoughts and immediately began to observe the life and death rules and death rules around him.


    After only a brief period of meditation, Lin Yuan felt the bottleneck that had trapped him before dissolve. The life and death reincarnation rule now seemed to him as if it were in a simple mode.


    "At my current rate ofprehension, I''ll need at most fifty years to elevate the life and death reincarnation rule to the second realm."


    Lin Yuan''s eyes lit up.


    Fifty years? For a tenth-rank evolver, fifty years is fleeting.


    A tenth-rank evolver trying to reach the peak of the tenth rank,prehending a pir-level fusion rule, might spend countless millennia. Finally, raising the pir-level fusion rule to the second realm¡ªthis bottleneck has trapped many peak tenth-rank evolvers.


    Even with Lin Yuan''s unrivaled insight, it would have taken him several centuries to elevate the life and death reincarnation rule to the second realm.


    But now, it only takes fifty years?


    In other words, if Lin Yuan wishes, he could attempt to break through to the eleventh rank in fifty years.


    "A great opportunity indeed." Lin Yuan was excited.


    The formation of such a guide path for fusion rules involves the realm of the strongest ones. Up to now, Lin Yuan had only heard of such things but had never seen them.


    There might be simr opportunities within human civilization, but they would surely require waiting in line.


    Take the ck, for instance; only one being can be in a ck door at any given time.


    For example, now that Lin Yuan''s projection wasprehending the guide path of the life and death reincarnation rule, even if another tenth-rank evolver passed the trial behind the life and death reincarnation rule door, they would have to wait until Lin Yuan finishedprehending before entering.


    Milky Way''s main star.


    Lin Yuan also smiled.


    "Fortunately, I sent in a projection."


    "Otherwise, if it were a clone, it might be trapped there for quite some time."


    Lin Yuan was in a good mood. Even with aplete guide path, it would still take considerable time to elevate the life and death reincarnation rule to the fourth realm.


    If it were the Primordial Spirit that entered the door, Lin Yuan reckoned that he wouldn''t be able to use this Primordial Spirit''sbat power for a long time.


    After all, during the period ofprehending the guide path, once one exits, they cannot re-enter. This was a price Lin Yuan couldn''t ept.


    "Now, with a projectionprehending the life and death reincarnation rule there."


    "Both Primordial Spirits can still be used, which is the best oue."


    Lin Yuan pondered for a while and then took out the mysterious gourd, tilting its mouth downward, condensing a drop of purple liquid.


    Since stepping into the tenth rank and enduring the infusion of massive primordial chaos, Lin Yuan''s physical body, internal world, and soul had all skyrocketed several levels.


    As a result, his absorption of the purple liquid inside the mysterious gourd was also rapidly increasing.


    It wouldn''t be long before he fully absorbed the purple liquid, at which point Lin Yuan''s internal world would reach an unprecedented size of 233 million miles in radius.


    "Hmm?"


    "The Yang Primordial Spirit has already reached the bottom of that permanent space rift?"


    While absorbing the purple liquid, Lin Yuan''s mind suddenly stirred, and he looked toward arge alien battlefield.


    Alien Battlefield No. A098.


    Near the central northern region, a thousand-mile-wide permanent space rift stretched across.


    At this moment.


    A figure silently appeared.


    "Permanent space rift?" Lin Yuan looked up at the thousand-mile-wide rift in the sky.


    Grayish mist asionally drifted in, emanating a fluctuation that made Lin Yuan''s heart tremble.


    The biggest difference between the permanent space rift on a small alien battlefield and the one on a medium-sized alien battlefield is that the permanent space rift on arge alien battlefield, due to its vast tear, can already allow certain things from outside the universe to squeeze in.


    For example, the remains of a strongest one that drifted in a hundred years ago did so through such a rift.


    Over the long years, many "things" have drifted in through the permanent space rifts onrge battlefields, though most are extremely dangerous.


    For instance, during the dormancy years recorded in human civilization, an eerie creature squeezed through the permanent space rift on arge battlefield developed by the Insect Race and the Tianyu Race.


    This eerie creature nearly brought an irreversible catastrophe to the cosmic starry sky. It took more than ten strongest ones working together to barely banish the eerie creature back outside the universe.


    There are many such examples, where nine out of ten times, the "things" that drift through permanent space rifts cause varying degrees of disaster.


    "I must be even more careful on arge alien battlefield."


    "Besides facing those alien powerhouses, I must constantly be on guard against changes in the permanent space rift."


    Lin Yuan''s expression was grave.


    Then a smile appeared on his face.


    Because after arriving at this thousand-mile-wide permanent space rift.


    Lin Yuan could already feel the absurdly fast umtion of boundary-breaking source power.


    ...

 Chapter 365

    Without any external support, the natural operation of the Gate of Myriad Realms umtes Boundary-breaking Source Power at a rate of one strand every 333 days.


    The permanent spatial rift on the Alien Battlefield No. B0001 has increased the umtion speed to one strand every 150 days.


    But now¡ª


    Lin Yuan clearly felt the absorption speed of the Boundary-breaking Source Power increase by another level.


    It has reached an unprecedented speed of one strand every 90 days.


    This means that every 90 days in the main world, one strand of Boundary-breaking Source Power can be umted.


    In a year, four strands can be umted; in ten years, forty strands; in a hundred years, four hundred strands.


    "I currently have over two hundred strands of Boundary-breaking Source Power. If I stay in thisrge Alien Battlefield for a while, wouldn''t I easily surpass a thousand strands?"


    Lin Yuan''s heart was filled with joy.Boundary-breaking Source Power is crucial for the operation of the Gate of Myriad Realms, so the more, the better.


    "I''ll wait until I hit a bottleneck in my strength before performing the tenth transmigration." Lin Yuan''s consciousness sank deep into his mind, looking at the towering, majestic Gate of Myriad Realms.


    Lin Yuan had just entered the tenth rank and wasprehending and merging the rules in the ck, so his strength was currently in its fastest growth phase.


    To transmigrate now? It would be a waste.


    Wherever he trains, it''s still training. For Lin Yuan, there''s no difference between transmigrating to another world or staying in the main world.


    "Let''s continue cultivating." Lin Yuan closed his eyes.


    The increase in the speed of umting Boundary-breaking Source Power only required Lin Yuan to stay under the permanent spatial rift.


    There was no need for mental effort, so Lin Yuan could focus onprehending the rules and secret techniques.


    Milky Way''s Main Star.


    Lin Yuan was in the midst of cultivating and seeking enlightenment.


    Suddenly.


    "Supreme One Xia Qin is looking for me?" Lin Yuan diverted a portion of his consciousness, connected to the virtual world, and entered the Supreme One''s personal world. (Remember Supreme One or Strongest One, same thing)


    "Supreme One," Lin Yuan slightly bowed.


    Supreme One Xia Qin had helped him many times, and it was only natural to maintain respect when facing a twelfth-rank ultimate existence.


    "Lin Yuan," Supreme One Xia Qin looked at Lin Yuan with a smile and asked, "Did you pass the test of the Inheritance Star and see the path to the merging rules?"


    "Inheritance Star?" Lin Yuan immediately understood that the ''Inheritance Star'' Supreme One Xia Qin referred to was the ck.


    It was no surprise to Lin Yuan that Supreme One Xia Qin knew about the ck. If the three Goddesses could know about it, so could Supreme One Xia Qin.


    Lin Yuan had uploaded information about the ck to the Goddess of Wisdom, so he had anticipated this day.


    "I''ve seen it."


    "I''m currentlyprehending it," Lin Yuan answered truthfully.


    Through the information provided by the Goddess of Wisdom regarding the ck, Lin Yuan could easily infer that human civilization also had a simr Inheritance Star.


    "How is it?"


    "And the merging rules? How many levels have you reached?" Supreme One Xia Qin asked with slight curiosity.


    "Four levels," Lin Yuan directly responded.


    "It''s actually the path to the fourth level of merging rules?" Supreme One Xia Qin looked surprised. (In this case level = realm)


    He had originally thought it was just the path to the second or third level of merging rules, which is why the final reward from the Goddess of Wisdom was only 500M merits.


    But the fourth level? That meant the ck''s value was ten to a hundred times greater than 500M merits.


    "You''re really lucky," Supreme One Xia Qin couldn''t help but praise.


    He found a star worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of merit points just by traveling.


    Lin Yuan nodded in agreement.


    Indeed.


    In over a hundred years, after experiencing nine transmigrations, opening up the path of martial evolution, the total number of merit points he finally umted was only in the billions.


    It wasn''t even a fraction of the true value of the ck.


    This is the nature of opportunities; most Evolvers are keen on venturing out because one crucial opportunity can significantly increase their foundation.


    Of course.


    No matter how great the opportunity, it must be built upon one''s own strength.


    If the one who discovered the ck had not been Lin Yuan, but an ordinary human citizen, they wouldn''t have been able to conduct fair trade with human civilization.


    Only Lin Yuan, the strongest genius in human civilization''s history, would have the qualification to negotiate.


    "What do you n to do with this Inheritance Star?" Supreme One Xia Qin asked.


    "Please advise me, Supreme One," Lin Yuan immediately replied.


    "My suggestion is to rent it out," Supreme One Xia Qin said with a smile.


    "The path to the fourth level of merging rules is enough to make those tenth-rank Evolvers in our human civilization go crazy. They would be willing to pay a huge price toe in andprehend it."


    Supreme One Xia Qin exined.


    He had no personal interest in this suggestion, but rather, he was considering how to maximize Lin Yuan''s benefits.


    There are twelve ck gates on the ck; Lin Yuan can only enter twelve times at most.


    What about after twelve times? The ck won''t be destroyed; renting it out to generate more profits is the best option.


    "How much should the ''rent'' be set at?" Lin Yuan didn''t mind renting out the ck. The main concern was whether the price would satisfy him.


    "100M," Supreme One Xia Qin calmly said.


    "100M?" Lin Yuan was slightly taken aback.


    "100M merit points for the opportunity to enter andprehend," Supreme One Xia Qin said.


    "100M merit points?" Lin Yuan took a deep breath.


    Just now, he had been wondering what unit Supreme One Xia Qin meant by ''100M''¡ªcosmic coins or something else.


    It turned out to be merit points?


    Human civilization''s merit points are one of the most stable currencies in the cosmic starry sky, even more so than universe crystals. They can be used to purchase many restricted resources within human civilization.


    Charging 100M merit points for just one opportunity toprehend was an exorbitant price that even Lin Yuan felt a little hesitant about.


    "100M merit points forprehension isn''t too high," Supreme One Xia Qin exined. "You have to understand, the path to the fourth level of merging rules within that Inheritance Star is extremely valuable."


    "Every Evolver who enters will stay until they''ve fully grasped the fourth level of merging rules before leaving."


    "This will take up a lot of time, and the final gain is a merging rule of the fourth level, which isn''t weak even at the eleventh-rank level."


    "Yes," Lin Yuan nodded.


    However, even so, the ck has twelve ck gates in total, which theoretically can amodate twelve Evolvers at the same time.


    100M merit points per person, twelve people would be 1.2 billion merit points.


    This massive amount of merit points would be enough to easily elevate an ordinary citizen to the status of a ninth-rank citizen.


    And this is just the first round of ''rent.''


    After this batch of Evolvers leaves, wouldn''t the rent for the next batche again?


    "However, Supreme One, I think I''ll wait until I reach the eleventh rank before renting it out," Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said.


    Although the rent is tempting, Lin Yuan also values his own improvement.


    Even if other Evolvers have ess to this ck, their energy is limited, and they can at mostprehend one or two rules.


    But Lin Yuan, with his Unrivaled Insight, can fullyprehend all twelve major merging rules.


    And during this period, Lin Yuan won''t allow other Evolvers to enter forprehension; otherwise, he would have to wait for them to finish if he wanted toprehend the merging rules they were studying.


    "No problem," Supreme One Xia Qin said nonchntly.


    What does it matter?


    In Supreme One Xia Qin''s view, with Lin Yuan''s talent, it wouldn''t take long for him to reach the eleventh rank.


    Moreover, suggesting Lin Yuan rent out the ck also helps to enhance the overall strength of human civilization.


    Each additional Evolver who reaches the fourth level of merging rules adds to the foundation of human civilization.


    And Lin Yuan can also gain enough benefits.


    It''s a win-win situation.


    After leaving Supreme One Xia Qin''s personal space.


    Lin Yuan disconnected from the virtual world and sat in the Star Lord Hall of the Milky Way''s main star.


    "1.2 billion merit points?"


    Lin Yuan''s heart was filled with joy.


    As long as he finishesprehending all twelve merging rules paths within the ck, he can rent out the twelve opportunities forprehension.


    Then he''ll have 1.2 billion merit pointsing in.


    Even without opening the tenth-rank martial chapter, he could steadily advance to the status of a ninth-rank citizen.


    "But, after reaching the tenth rank for so long, which treasure should I choose?"


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts shifted, feeling somewhat indecisive.


    The treasure in question refers to the reward avable after passing through the fifth level in the Devil Jade Tower.


    Back when he was in the ninth rank, after mastering the rules of time, Lin Yuan found time to pass through the fifth level of the Devil Jade Tower.


    After all, passing through the fifth level at the ninth rank is not the same as passing through it at the tenth or eleventh rank.


    The rewards from the Devil Jade Tower''s levels also depend on the potential of the challenger.


    Clearing the fifth level at the ninth rank¡ªwhat kind of potential does that imply?


    Therefore.


    The reward list given by the humanoid statue, Shen Ji, left Lin Yuan indecisive and hesitant until now.


    The reward list includes five treasures.


    Lin Yuan could only choose one of the five.


    And these five treasures, ording to the standards of the main universe, are all twelve-star treasures, corresponding to the level of Supreme Ones.


    The Eternal Spring that Lin Yuan once soaked in was a twelve-star treasure.


    Because of this, Lin Yuan had been dying the decision.


    After all, the reward was there, so there was no rush to choose.


    "I''ll wait and see."


    After thinking for a moment, Lin Yuan decided not to act impulsively.


    He would train for a while longer, determine his needs, and then make the most beneficial choice.


    Six monthster.


    Inner World.


    Lin Yuan looked down.


    At this moment, the edge of the inner world had once again begun to expand.


    The visible size of the inner world had reached 233 million miles in circumference.


    This is the maximum size that the inner world could reach after fully absorbing the seven types of liquid from the mysterious gourd.


    That''s right.


    Just now.


    Lin Yuan hadpletely absorbed that drop of purple liquid.


    "I can feel that the inner world has now reached a certain limit," Lin Yuan thought silently to himself.


    Before long.


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness left the inner world.


    He returned to the outside world.


    Then, with great solemnity, he looked at the gray-purple gourd in front of him.


    Now that he had absorbed all seven types of liquid, what would happen next with this mysterious gourd?


    With this thought, Lin Yuan grasped the gourd with his right hand.


    As Lin Yuan''s physical body made contact with the gourd, it seemed to sense the change in Lin Yuan.


    Streams of information emerged from the gourd, exploding in Lin Yuan''s mind.


    ...

 Chapter 366

    The gray-purple gourd shook. A stream of information flooded into Lin Yuan''s mind.


    "So, it turns out that after absorbing the seven types of liquid, there''s actually more to it," Lin Yuan rubbed his temples, processing the information the gray-purple gourd had transmitted to him.


    To summarize:


    There is an eighth type of liquid that follows the seventh purple liquid. However, to condense this eighth liquid, specific requirements for both the physical body and the internal space must be met.


    The physical body must reach the level of the twelfth rank, and the internal space must evolve into the state of an internal universe.


    Only with such a physical body and internal space can the augmentation from the eighth liquid be supported.


    "Twelfth rank?"


    "Internal universe?"


    Lin Yuan was astonished. An existence that meets both of these conditions likely only applies to the Strongest Ones.ording to the information from the Mysterious Emperor Lineage, there is a slight hope of raising the physical body of an eleventh-rank life form to the threshold of the twelfth rank by relying on various external secret techniques and specific merging rules.


    However, an internal universe? That can only be formed during the ultimate breakthrough, a process of extreme sublimation.


    Even Lin Yuan''s current internal world is far from meeting the minimum standard of an internal universe.


    Even if he were to undergo another infusion of chaotic void origin, which would greatly boost the foundation of his internal world by several levels, it still wouldn''tpare to an internal universe.


    The internal universe of the Strongest Ones is the source of their power, their reliance to transcend the river of time, akin to a weakened version of the main universe.


    "What is the origin of this gourd?" Lin Yuan''s expression grew serious as he studied the gray-purple gourd floating in front of him.


    Although he didn''t know what use the eighth liquid from the gourd would have for an internal universe, judging by the effects the previous seven liquids had on Lin Yuan''s internal world, it''s easy to predict that even a Strongest One would undergo some form of transformation because of it.


    And that''s truly remarkable.


    What level are the Strongest Ones at? Certain treasures and rare items might significantly impact the lives of tenth and eleventh-rank beings, but when ites to the Strongest Ones, they''re virtually useless.


    Not to mention causing transformation.


    Lin Yuan had never heard of a treasure that could transform a Strongest One.


    "I must keep this gourd safe," Lin Yuan focused his thoughts.


    Previously, Lin Yuan believed that the mysterious gourd only affected life forms below the twelfth rank, but even so, its value far exceeded that of the Eternal Spring.


    But now? Even the Strongest Ones could experience transformation because of it.


    The value of the mysterious gourd is immeasurable.


    "Where should I store it?"


    With a thought, Lin Yuan connected with the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, cing the mysterious gourd inside a spatial ring and then sending it to the deepest part of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.


    Although Lin Yuan''s true body resided on the main star of the Milky Way, within the human civilization''s territory and under the watchful eyes of the Strongest Ones, it still wasn''t entirely foolproof.


    For example, if several ultimate alien beings joined forces, they might take advantage of the human civilization''s Strongest Ones not reacting in time to kill Lin Yuan and then seize the mysterious gourd.


    Of course, such a possibility is slim. How likely is it that ultimate beings would coborate to attack a mere tenth-rank life form?


    Moreover, with the presence of the Divine Sealing Bead, even ultimate alien beings wouldn''t be able topletely kill Lin Yuan.


    But the possibility exists, and Lin Yuan had to be cautious.


    Storing the mysterious gourd in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm would be almost foolproof.


    Since the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm''s inception, no Strongest One has ever entered it.


    The mysterious gourd would be much safer in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm than near Lin Yuan.


    It would only be slightly more inconvenient to useter, but Lin Yuan didn''t mind.


    The ck.


    The space of the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule Guidance Path.


    One of Lin Yuan''s avatars sat there, continuously observing the alternation and merging of life and death.


    Every second, Lin Yuan gained new insights into the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule. With Unrivaled Insight and the guidance path, Lin Yuan''s cultivation in this merging rule was almost soaring.


    "Marvelous, marvelous, marvelous."


    "To think that life and death could merge in this way?"


    Lin Yuan immersed himself in it, with inspiration constantly shing in his mind.


    For a typical tenth-rank life form, understanding a pir-level merging rule could require countless efforts and experiences.


    But for Lin Yuan now, it had almost be ''routine.''


    "Life is not just life."


    "Death is not just death."


    As Lin Yuan continued toprehend, his understanding of these two rules deepened, and so did his grasp of the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule.


    If considered individually, the life rule and the death rule are not particrly strong pir rules.


    But when the two merge, the power of life and death reincarnation bursts forth, making it one of the most lethal among the many merging rules.


    Alien Battlefield No. A076.


    Compared to therge alien battlefield where Lin Yuan was, this battlefield had a higher intensity of warfare, with four peak races gathered: human civilization, the Tianyu n, the Infernal n, and the Insect Race.


    The entire battlefield was like a meat grinder, with eighth and ninth-rank experts dying every day.


    Even tenth-rank experts, unless they were at the A-grade level, could easily fall if they lost control in the heat of battle.


    Of course, those who dared toe to therge alien battlefield were usually just avatars, but the loss of an avatar still significantly impacted the true body.


    Raising an avatar to near the strength of the true body requires resources no less than those for the true body itself.


    If a tenth-rank expert loses an avatar, it might take thousands or even tens of thousands of years to recover.


    Whoosh.


    At the center of Battlefield No. A076, deep within a thousand-mile-wide permanent spatial rift, gray misty gas slowly seeped out.


    The permanent spatial rift was filled with this gray misty gas.


    This was the chaotic void, the source of countless universes.


    And just outside this permanent spatial rift, a radiant seven-colored ''aurora'' swiftly pierced through the void.


    Wherever the ''aurora'' passed, all the gray misty gas evaporated.


    Buzz.


    In just a few breaths, the radiant seven-colored aurora plunged into the permanent spatial rift.


    On Battlefield No. A076, many strong beings were engaged in fiercebat.


    Even tenth-rank A-grade and eleventh-rank experts asionally entered the fray, tipping the bnce of the local battle.


    At that moment, a radiant seven-colored aurora shot out from the permanent spatial rift above the battlefield.


    Boom!


    The aurora tore through everything. The incredibly stable space on therge battlefield was as fragile as thin paper, and even the battlefield itself seemed weak.


    "Ahhhh!"


    "What is that?"


    On the battlefield, many eleventh-rank beings hadn''t even reacted before being reduced to dust by the aurora.


    In an instant, the entire Battlefield No. A076, with a diameter of hundreds or even thousands of light-years, copsed rapidly. Countless lives, including eleventh-rank experts, perished.


    Moreover, an invisible ripple spread from each dead life, extending throughout the universe.


    "This?"


    "That aurora?"


    Around the battlefield, towering figures appeared, gravely observing the shatteredrge alien battlefield and the nearly undiminished radiant aurora.


    "Stop it."


    More than ten towering figures quickly acted, spreading powers that transcended time and space, eventually restraining the aurora.


    "This aurora carries the power of a causal curse. Every life that perished under it will suffer corresponding causal curse effects."


    "Lives below the tenth rank probably can''t withstand it."


    "Another technique from some relic?"


    The more than ten towering figures, all Strongest Ones, exchanged a few words and began studying the aurora.


    Over the long ages, various anomalies had often emerged from within permanent spatial rifts, such as the Strongest One''s corpse over a hundred years ago and the radiant aurora just now.


    Both had clearly reached the twelfth rank level, especially the aurora, which still possessed terrifying power after crossing infinite distances.


    The events on Battlefield No. A076 quickly spread throughout the universe''s various races.


    "What?"


    "Arge alien battlefield is gone?"


    Lin Yuan blinked in surprise, looking at Vice Tower Master Nn.


    Large alien battlefields, each with a diameter of hundreds of light-years, were immense even in the vast cosmic expanse.


    How could one just disappear like that?


    "It''s said to have been destroyed by an aurora from beyond the universe," Vice Tower Master Nn said, his tone also filled with astonishment.


    Generally,rge alien battlefields are personally crafted by Strongest Ones, making them extremely difficult to destroy.


    Even in battles between Strongest Ones, they might only shatter a part of the battlefield, as they try to avoid damaging it as much as possible.


    "Aurora from beyond the universe?" Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.


    "Yes," Vice Tower Master Nn said. "An aurora from beyond the universe shattered the entirerge alien battlefield. If not for the intervention of the Strongest Ones, the aurora''s power would have likely spread much further."


    This wasn''t a secret; the entire universe was buzzing about it.


    "Terrifying," Lin Yuan remained silent for a while.


    Although he had long known that the dangers onrge alien battlefields went far beyond alien races, the many dangers in the chaotic void beyond the permanent spatial rift also threatened all the strong beings on the battlefield.


    "What happened to that aurora?" Lin Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    "Not sure," Vice Tower Master Nn shook his head. "It''s probably in the hands of the Strongest Ones by now."


    "The aurora carries the power of a causal curse. Every ninth and eighth-rank life that perished under it had both their avatar and true body destroyed. More than a million ninth and eighth-rank lives from our human civilization perishedpletely because of it."


    Vice Tower Master Nn added.


    "Causal curse power¡­" Lin Yuan''s expression grew serious.


    A curse power capable of such widespread destruction of ninth and eighth-rank lives would be a burden even for the Strongest Ones.


    "So, the resurrection date for our human civilization should be moved up," Vice Tower Master Nn said.


    ording to previous patterns, the next resurrection by the Strongest Ones would have been in about two thousand years.


    But after the copse of thisrge alien battlefield, the number of human civilization''s Evolvers who perished suddenly surged, filling the resurrection list for the next two thousand years in one go.


    In such cases, the Strongest Ones usually resurrect earlier.


    "The resurrection date will be moved up?" Lin Yuan nodded slightly, having some understanding of this process.


    The Strongest Ones don''t resurrect the dead based on a set interval but based on the number of dead lives, i.e., the number of Evolvers on the resurrection list.


    Once the resurrection list is full, the Strongest Ones will perform a mass resurrection.


    Supreme One Xia Qin''s Personal Virtual World.


    "Supreme One."


    Lin Yuan''s figure appeared, slightly bowing to the Supreme One Xia Qin, who sat on a throne.


    "How is it?"


    "How is yourprehension of the merging rules within the Inheritance Star progressing?" Supreme One Xia Qin asked with a smile.


    "Not bad." Lin Yuan nodded. With the guidance of the merging rule path and his Unrivaled Insight, hisprehension of the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule was progressing by leaps and bounds.


    "I came to see you because I have a favor to ask," Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment before speaking.


    "Oh?"


    "What is it?" Supreme One Xia Qin''s expression remained unchanged, but he was actually quite pleased. He wasn''t afraid of Lin Yuan having requests; he was more concerned about Lin Yuan having no desires.


    "I heard that the resurrection date has been moved up," Lin Yuan asked.


    "Yes."


    "The next resurrection will be scheduled for a year from now."


    Supreme One Xia Qin nodded. With the resurrection list full, it was better to resurrect sooner rather thanter.


    For ultimate beings, going against the flow of timees with a cost, but that cost is fixed.


    Resurrecting one life or tens of thousands of lives carries the same cost of reversing time.


    The bacsh suffered afterward depends on the strength and number of the lives resurrected.


    "I have a friend who just reached the sixth rank and is not on the resurrection list¡­" Lin Yuan said.


    There are two ways to get on the resurrection list.


    One is to have extraordinary talent and potential.


    Such Evolvers, if they die unexpectedly, will be ced on the resurrection list by the Goddess of Wisdom.


    The second is to die in battle on the battlefield. Every Evolver who fights on the battlefield is fighting for humanity, and those who die at the hands of alien races are typically resurrected by their civilization''s Strongest Ones.


    Of course, whether in the first or second category, the resurrected Evolvers need to bear part of the ''cost.''


    Butpared to being able to live again, this cost is negligible.


    "You want me to resurrect your friend along with the others?" Supreme One Xia Qin asked.


    "Yes," Lin Yuan nodded.


    Previously, Fang Qing had his mind and will taken by the Ancient God Tuoba due to the evolution path of the Ancient God, using it to threaten Lin Yuan.


    Lin Yuan naturally didn''t yield to the threat.


    He acted preemptively, killing the wisp of Fang Qing''s mind and will.


    This seemed ruthless, but it was Fang Qing''s best hope for survival.


    If Lin Yuan hadn''t acted, allowing Tuoba Ancient God to rece Fang Qing, his own memories would have been polluted, making even resurrection impossible.


    However, with Fang Qing''s talent, he had not yet reached the conditions required for resurrection.


    So he wasn''t on the Strongest Ones'' resurrection list, and Lin Yuan had to personally ask Supreme One Xia Qin for help.


    "No problem."


    "Just send me the citizen ID of the one to be resurrectedter."


    Supreme One Xia Qin said nonchntly.


    For an ultimate being, resurrecting a newly advanced sixth-rank Evolver is a simple matter, especially when done alongside the mass resurrection of other Evolvers.


    "Thank you, Supreme One." Lin Yuan expressed his gratitude more solemnly.


    What might seem like a trivial matter to the Strongest Ones was something that those below the ultimate level couldn''t even dream of.


    A Year Later.


    Summer Yu Evolution Tower.


    Lin Yuan stood alongside many tenth and eleventh-rank Evolvers.


    Every time the Strongest Ones performed a resurrection, many high-level Evolvers would be present to witness it.


    The operation of the time-space rules involved in such an event is highly beneficial for any Evolver studying the rules of time and space.


    "Milky Way Star Lord, this must be your first time witnessing a resurrection by a Strongest One, right?" Vice Tower Master Nn stood next to Lin Yuan, asking in a low voice.


    "Yes," Lin Yuan nodded.


    Based on the rate at which human civilization''s Evolvers fall in battle, it takes about ten thousand to fifty thousand years to fill the resurrection list.


    This means the Strongest Ones typically perform a resurrection every ten thousand to fifty thousand years.


    "Then make sure you watch closely."


    Vice Tower Master Nn quickly added, "When a Strongest One reverses time, part of the river of time will be revealed. Observing it closely will greatly benefit your understanding of the time rules."


    "I understand," Lin Yuan immediately replied.


    In fact, Lin Yuan had already seen the full view of the river of time, so this wouldn''t be anything new to him.


    But he didn''t mention this to Vice Tower Master Nn.


    Soon.


    Under the watchful eyes of all the Evolvers, the figure of Supreme One Xia Qin silently appeared.


    Although he didn''t emit any aura, just by standing there, Lin Yuan could feel the rules of the cosmic starry sky retreating before him.


    The Strongest Ones possess internal universes, containing numerousplete rules, with a life essence that transcends the main universe''s starry sky.


    "Supreme One¡­" This was the first time Lin Yuan had seen a Strongest One''s true form in the universe.


    Although he had previously been taken out of the river of time by a Strongest One, at that time, Lin Yuan was just a wisp of mind and will.


    "It''s starting."


    Vice Tower Master Nn suddenly whispered.


    He had witnessed many resurrection scenes by the Strongest Ones and was very experienced in such matters.


    As soon as Vice Tower Master Nn spoke, a strong surge of time-space energy began to flow.


    A vast, illusory river appeared before Supreme One Xia Qin.


    Lin Yuan also sensed the overwhelming power of the time rules, far surpassing anything he had previously experienced whileprehending time rules.


    Supreme One Xia Qin continued to move against the flow of the river of time, reaching specific points and then extending his enormous hands to fish out amber-like figures from the illusory river.


    With each movement, thousands or even tens of thousands of amber figures were fished out. At the same time, an invisible bacsh from the universe and the river of time began to fall upon Supreme One Xia Qin.


    But Supreme One Xia Qin effortlessly blocked the bacsh.


    Unless resurrectingrge numbers of eleventh-rank experts or extremely special beings at the eleventh rank, this level of bacsh was insignificant to the Strongest Ones.


    "The river of time."


    "Except for ultimate beings, all creatures and spirits exist within the river of time."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself, understanding that although all beings below the twelfth rank exist within the river of time, their presence within it varies in size depending on their strength.


    When Lin Yuan first grasped the time rules as a ninth-rank Evolver, his presence in the river of time was as small as a subatomic particle.


    "But now that I''ve been a tenth-rank for a while¡­"


    "I wonder what my presence in the river of time looks like now?"


    Lin Yuan''s mind stirred as he began to sense the true river of time and gauge the size of his presence deep within it.

 Chapter 367

    The river of time flows endlessly, from the distant past to the infinite future.


    In the river of time, a life form at the tenth rank barely counts as a small fish, just slightly stronger than a "subatomic particle."


    At the eleventh rank, one can be considered a big fish.


    Some extremely special existences at the eleventh rank manifest in the river of time as colossal beings, covering almost half of the riverbed.


    "Am I now considered a big fish too?"


    Lin Yuan examined himself. Although he was only a tenth-rank life form, his foundation was so strong that his presence in the river of time was not inferior to those of the eleventh-rank beings.


    "I wonder what my form in the river of time will look like when I reach the eleventh rank or even the peak of the eleventh rank?" Lin Yuan thought silently.


    The form of every living being in the river of time is only rted to the essence of life itself, unaffected by external forces.


    As Lin Yuan was feeling the strong fluctuations of the time rules and examining himself, Supreme One Xia Qin had already fished out all the Evolvers on the resurrection list.These Evolvers, upon returning to the current space-time, immediately began to "synchronize" their memories, right up to the moment before their deaths.


    The river of time is vast and endless; even just a small tributary contains countless lives. Thus, for a Strongest One to resurrect a particr being, they must lock onto that being''s life imprint, using it as a "beacon."


    Without a life imprint to serve as a beacon, even a Strongest One would be unable to precisely locate the life they wish to resurrect in the vast river of time.


    A Strongest One may transcend the river of time, but that does not mean they control it.


    "Where is this?"


    "Have I been resurrected?"


    "I remember fighting against a strong Infernal n warrior on Battlefield No. A076, and then suddenly, I died¡­"


    Countless resurrected Evolvers first disyed confusion in their eyes, but they soon became clear-minded.


    In human civilization, the fact that Strongest Ones can perform resurrections is no secret, especially among those Evolvers who know they have the potential to be resurrected.


    Afterpleting the resurrection task, Supreme One Xia Qin nced at the many resurrected Evolvers and then disappeared.


    Immediately, Evolvers from the Yu Die Evolution Tower stepped forward to guide those who had just been resurrected.


    Many of the resurrected Evolvers had died tens of thousands of years ago and were unfamiliar with the current era, requiring time to adjust.


    "I... I''ve been resurrected too?"


    Among the many resurrected Evolvers, different groups formed based on their strength. Sixth-rank Evolvers were in one group, seventh-rank in another, eighth-rank in another, and ninth-rank in yet another.


    As a newly advanced sixth-rank, Fang Qing naturally found himself in the group of sixth-rank Evolvers. Around him were other sixth-rank Evolvers who had also been resurrected.


    "I follow the Ancient God evolution path. By all rights, I shouldn''t have been resurrected," Fang Qing thought, puzzled.


    He recognized many of the other sixth-rank Evolvers around him¡ªthey were all genius Evolvers, renowned across entire star domains.


    As for himself?


    Although he had reached the sixth rank in just a few hundred years, he had done so through the Ancient God evolution path, which is essentially a shortcut.


    Compared to other normal evolution paths, the Ancient God evolution path doesn''t require much talent or insight¡ªone simply needs to be simr enough to the corresponding Ancient God.


    Human civilization doesn''t allocate many resources to those following the Ancient God evolution path, nor do they typically have spots on the resurrection list.


    So Fang Qing was baffled as to how he had also been resurrected.


    At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside him.


    "Star Lord."


    Fang Qing looked over, and his spirit immediately lifted as he respectfully greeted Lin Yuan.


    "Not bad."


    "How does it feel to be resurrected?"


    Lin Yuan asked, looking at Fang Qing.


    "I''m not sure. It just feels like I''ve been dreaming for a long time," Fang Qing replied honestly.


    "Star Lord, was I resurrected because¡­?" Fang Qing couldn''t help but ask.


    "I asked the Strongest One to include you on the resurrection list," Lin Yuan replied.


    "I thought the resurrection list couldn''t be changed¡­" Fang Qing was secretly shocked. As far as he knew, every life on the resurrection list is determined by the three Goddesses after repeated evaluation before being handed over to the Strongest One for resurrection.


    During this process, no one can alter the decisions made by the three Goddesses, which is considered an ironw of human civilization.


    Yet Lin Yuan had managed to force him onto the resurrection list?


    What Fang Qing didn''t know was that Lin Yuan had added him to the resurrection list without going through the three Goddesses at all. Instead, he had gone directly to Supreme One Xia Qin.


    As the ultimate being in charge of the resurrection, Supreme One Xia Qin could resurrect one more sixth-rank Evolver with just a thought.


    It was a simple task.


    "Thank you, Star Lord." Fang Qing took a deep breath.


    Although he didn''t know exactly how Lin Yuan had managed to get him on the resurrection list, he assumed it must havee at a great cost. His life was essentially given back to him by Lin Yuan.


    "No need to thank me yet."


    "Next, I will take action to cleanse your body of the traces left by your original evolution path," Lin Yuan said, waving his hand.


    Although Fang Qing had been resurrected, he was still following the Ancient God evolution path. As long as Tuoba Ancient God desired, he could still seize Fang Qing''s mind and will at any time.


    What Lin Yuan wanted to do was topletely erase all traces of Fang Qing''s cultivation of the Ancient God evolution path.


    Only by doing this could he sever the connection with Tuoba Ancient God.


    "Please, Star Lord, proceed," Fang Qing replied without hesitation.


    In hisst memory, his evolution path had suddenly started to riot, dragging his mind and will towards an unknown area. Now, thinking back, it was likely due to the influence of the Ancient God evolution path.


    Whoosh.


    Under Lin Yuan''s efforts, the traces of the Ancient God evolution path quickly vanished from Fang Qing''s body. This was possible because Fang Qing was only a newly advanced sixth-rank, and Lin Yuan''s strength was powerful,parable to an ordinary eleventh-rank Evolver, making it easy to eliminate the influence of the Ancient God evolution path.


    In the depths of the cosmic starry sky.


    Tuoba Ancient God''s mind stirred as he gazed in the direction of human civilization.


    "Has the Milky Way Star Lord''s friend been resurrected?" Tuoba Ancient God thought silently.


    Just moments ago, Tuoba Ancient God sensed the presence of the Milky Way Star Lord''s friend. But shortly after, that presence disappeared, likely because the traces of the Ancient God evolution path had been erased.


    Tuoba Ancient God wasn''t surprised by this, nor did he have any intention of taking action.


    First, it would be difficult to take action again in such a short time.


    Moreover, the Strongest One from human civilization had just resurrected the Milky Way Star Lord''s friend and was probably nearby. Even if Tuoba Ancient God acted, he couldn''t escape the notice of the Strongest One.


    Second, it wouldn''t be meaningful.


    After the Milky Way Star Lord had killed his friend''s mind and will to avoid being threatened, Tuoba Ancient God realized that the Milky Way Star Lord would not yield to any threats.


    Even if he managed to take Fang Qing''s mind and will again, what would it aplish? It would only lead to another killing by the Milky Way Star Lord.


    If the killing failed, the Milky Way Star Lord wouldn''t bow his head. It would only deepen the hostility between human civilization and Tuoba Ancient God.


    "Hmm?"


    "The Insect Race invited me to Battlefield No. A098?"


    Tuoba Ancient God frowned slightly. As an eleventh-rank peak special life form, he often received invitations from the allied forces of the peak races to assist in battles onrge alien battlefields.


    But Tuoba Ancient God usually declined these invitations, as he couldn''t be bothered with the affairs between the peak races.


    However, now that he had confirmed his enmity with the Milky Way Star Lord, Tuoba Ancient God began to pay more attention to his rtionships with other peak races.


    Especially the Insect Race, which was already a mortal enemy of human civilization. If Tuoba Ancient God continued to ignore them, his future options would be very limited.


    "Fine."


    "I''ll go this time."


    Tuoba Ancient God made his decision.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    "Death Rule¡­ Destruction Rule¡­"


    "Great Destruction Rule?"


    Lin Yuan merged the pir rules of death and destruction, forming the Great Destruction Rule.


    The Great Destruction Rule is a purely offensive rule, even more so than the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule.


    It''s one of the pir-level merging rules with greater killing power than the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule.


    In the years since he broke through to the tenth rank, Lin Yuan had not only beenprehending the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule but also other pir-level merging rules.


    Now, the Great Destruction Rule was the result.


    "The Great Destruction Rule¡­ among the twelve gates on the ck, one corresponds to the Great Destruction Rule."


    Lin Yuan had a thought, and his Yin Primordial Spirit immediately descended upon the ck.


    "Great Destruction¡­"


    Lin Yuan stood before the gate symbolizing the Great Destruction Rule, then activated the aura of the Great Destruction Rule, pushing open the gate and walking inside.


    Soon, he arrived at an altar simr to the one in the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule path.


    "You again?"


    ck mist surged, coalescing into a ck-robed man. He nced at Lin Yuan and shook his head slightly.


    "Senior¡­"


    Lin Yuan greeted the ck-robed man.


    "When will the trial begin?" Lin Yuan got straight to the point, not wanting to waste time.


    "Trial?"


    The ck-robed man was silent.


    He could sense that Lin Yuan had only recentlyprehended the Great Destruction Rule.


    But given the previous trial for the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule, the ck-robed man knew that the trials set by the ck were essentially non-existent in the face of Lin Yuan.


    "Forget it."


    "Just go inside."


    The ck-robed man, not wanting to waste time, waved his right hand, and a five-meter-wide ck door appeared.


    Rather than have Lin Yuan unleash his full power again, shaking the ck''s interior, it was better to let him go inside andprehend the rule quickly.


    Out of sight, out of mind.


    "Thank you, Senior." Seeing this, Lin Yuan didn''t hesitate.


    He immediately formed an avatar and entered the ck door.


    He found himself in a small space only a few miles in diameter.


    However, it was filled with the infinite aura of the Great Destruction Rule.


    "Great Destruction¡­"


    Lin Yuan carefully observed the changes in the aura of the Great Destruction Rule, and with the support of his Unrivaled Insight, terrifyingprehension and inspiration continuously flooded his mind.


    And so, Lin Yuan''s two avatars quicklyprehended the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule and the Great Destruction Rule.


    Meanwhile, his true body and his Yang and Yin Primordial Spirits continued toprehend and cultivate other rules, secret techniques, and so on.


    In the blink of an eye, fifty years had passed.

 Chapter 368

    Chapter 368


    (Samsara of Life and Death Rule changed to Life and Death Reincarnation Rule)


    ck.


    Life and Death Reincarnation Rule Guidance Space.


    The cycle of life and death, endlessly repeating, seemed to have no end.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, deeply immersed in hisprehension. Compared to directly understanding the universe''s original rules of life and death, the continuous intertwining and merging of the life and death rules before him gave Lin Yuan a feeling of observing the "standard answer" directly.


    Every moment, his understanding of the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule deepened.


    "The life rule is filled with endless vitality, while the death rule is permeated with infinite death energy. The most fundamental aspect of the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule, formed by their fusion, lies in the word ''reincarnation,''" Lin Yuan thought as he raised his right hand, causing the life and death rules to simrly intertwine and merge in his palm.


    "So, to create a stable reincarnation model within the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule, one must allow the life and death rules to freely interchange and merge," Lin Yuan analyzed the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule using the rule model of human civilization.


    Even the most basic five-element rules manifest differently for different people, and this is even more true for fusion rules. The final form of a fusion rule can vary greatly depending on the slight differences in the rules being merged."A stable and perfect reincarnation model!"


    Before Lin Yuan, the life and death rules constantly shifted and eventually formed a structure resembling a dark vortex, subtly beginning to affect time and space.


    Lin Yuan remained oblivious, still deeply engrossed in hisprehension.


    [Your unrivaled insight has allowed you to observe the fusion of life and death, leading to the understanding of the first stable reincarnation model.]


    Lin Yuan, still seated cross-legged, felt his mind buzz as the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule advanced to the second level.


    "I finally managed to cultivate this fusion rule to the second level," Lin Yuan said with a smile.


    Comprehending fusion rules is far more difficult than one might imagine, especially when advancing from the first to the second level. Countless tenth-rank beings have been stuck at this level for their entire lifespans without progressing.


    Vice Tower Master Nn, ck Star Lord, and zed Lord were all examples of such beings. While they might have had the hope of advancing to the eleventh rank, it was only hope, with a much greater likelihood that they would not make it.


    Even Lin Yuan, when he firstprehended the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule and felt the vastness of life and death energy, thought it would take him five to six hundred years to cultivate this fusion rule to the second level.


    But now, only fifty years had passed, and he had already reached the second level.


    Theoretically, Lin Yuan could now use the second-level Life and Death Reincarnation Rule to attempt to break through to the eleventh rank.


    "The Life and Death Reincarnation Rule¡­ at the second level,bined with my physical body, soul, internal world, mind, will, Mysterious Emperor Strike, and other foundations, might allow me to unleash power reaching the peak of the third level, or even close to the fourth level of the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule," Lin Yuan spected.


    When he firstprehended the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule, Lin Yuan had relied on his many umted foundations to forcibly elevate the rule from the early first level to the second level, or even the early third level.


    Now, having reached the second level in his understanding of the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule, Lin Yuan felt that his regr maximum attack power should be close to the fourth level.


    It is worth noting that a pir-level fusion rule at the fourth level is considered strong even among eleventh-rank beings, with the seventh and eighth levels typically being the domain of the Strongest Ones.


    Of course, the methods of eleventh-rank beings are far moreplex than just fusion rules, but this at least indicates that Lin Yuan has reached the normal level of an eleventh-rank being in some aspects.


    He was no longer in that awkward initial level.


    "Second-level Life and Death Reincarnation Rule," Lin Yuan muttered as he activated the now "constructed" reincarnation model, attempting to influence the surrounding bnce of life and death.


    Rumble.


    In the guidance space, the vast life and death rules continued to intertwine, and the faint shadow of arge, stable reincarnation model emerged.


    However, under the influence of Lin Yuan''s smaller reincarnation model, an insignificant local area of therger model began to show slight disturbances, but it quickly returned to normal.


    Lin Yuan was not surprised by this. Therge reincarnation model in the guidance space represented the fourth-level Life and Death Reincarnation Rule, while he was only at the second level, making it difficult to shake.


    This attempt was merely to gauge how far he still had to go to reach the fourth level.


    Outside the Guidance Space.


    The ck-robed man suddenly appeared.


    "Hmm?"


    "Has the bnce of life and death within the space been affected by an external force?" The ck-robed man''s expression changed slightly. As the spirit of the altar and the ck, he was aware of all changes within the guidance space.


    "The bnce of life and death in the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule Guidance Space can only be affected by the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule itself. Has that little guy cultivated the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule to the second level?" The ck-robed man quickly deduced the cause.


    "Second level?"


    "In such a short time?"


    The ck-robed man was stunned. The second-level Life and Death Reincarnation Rule might not have impressed him¡ªit''s just the entry level for an eleventh-rank being¡ªbut what shocked him was that, fifty years ago, Lin Yuan''s understanding of the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule had only been at the beginning level.


    Yet now, in just fifty years, he had skyrocketed to the second level?


    "The flow of time hasn''t changed." The ck-robed man confirmed that the time Lin Yuan spentprehending the rule was consistent with the main time flow.


    "The guidance space alone couldn''t have had such a dramatic effect," the ck-robed man thought gravely.


    The essence manifestation of the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule in the guidance space was meant to make it a bit easier for those who came after toprehend the fusion rule. A bottleneck that could take ten thousand years to break might be reduced to seven or eight thousand years.


    It was only supposed to make things a little easier, not to lower the difficulty to zero.


    Even so, such guidance spaces made countless tenth-rank beings fervent. At a critical moment, a little bit easier could make a world of difference, not to mention something being a lot easier.


    For instance, byprehending a pir-level fusion rule to the second level a bit earlier, one might break through to the eleventh rank before the end of their lifespan.


    This isn''t just the difference between the eleventh and tenth ranks; it''s the difference between life and death.


    However, Lin Yuan''s current performance left the ck-robed man somewhat puzzled.


    Over the past fifty years, Lin Yuan had sessivelyprehended other pir-level fusion rules, sending his avatars into other guidance spaces behind several of the ck''s gates.


    In other words, the time Lin Yuan had actually spent on the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule might only have been a portion of those fifty years.


    "Are the beings in the outside world these days really this unreasonable?" The ck-robed man remained silent for a long time, suddenly harboring this thought.


    He hadrge gaps in his memory but vaguely remembered that Lin Yuan''sprehension speed was absurdly fast.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    "I can attempt to break through to the eleventh rank now," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The biggest hurdle in advancing from the tenth to the eleventh rank is raising a pir-level rule to the second level.


    In addition, there are other requirements rted to the physical body, soul, internal world, and so on, but with Lin Yuan''s umted foundation, he naturally met all these conditions.


    In other words, as long as Lin Yuan wanted to break through to the eleventh rank, he could do so.


    To go from just entering the tenth rank to stepping into the eleventh rank in just fifty years¡ªif word got out, it would drive countless tenth-rank beings crazy, and even eleventh-rank beings wouldn''t believe it.


    Crossing from the tenth to the eleventh rank is a major leap, a fundamental transformation of life. It is not umon for tenth-rank beings to remain at that level for millions or tens of millions of years.


    "But there''s no need to rush."


    "I''ve only explored six of the twelve guidance spaces behind the ck''s gates," Lin Yuan thought, suppressing the urge to break through to the eleventh rank.


    The main reason is that there wouldn''t be much benefit.


    Currently, Lin Yuan felt no pressure. Human civilization was incredibly powerful, so he could afford to dy his breakthrough to the eleventh rank.


    Because once he broke through to the eleventh rank, he would no longer be able to enter the remaining six gates on the ck.


    The ck is a tenth-rank Inheritance Star and only allows tenth-rank beings to enter¡ªninth or eleventh ranks are not permitted.


    The best course of action for Lin Yuan was toprehend all the fusion rules corresponding to the twelve gates on the ck and then send avatars into the guidance spaces to upy the slots for enlightenment.


    As long as the avatars upied the guidance spaces, even if Lin Yuan broke through to the eleventh rank, he wouldn''t be expelled.


    Moreover, the more fusion rules Lin Yuanprehended at the tenth rank and the higher the level of these rules, the greater the benefits to himself.


    From any perspective, Lin Yuan had no reason to rush to the eleventh rank.


    Other peak tenth-rank beings, upon raising a pir-level fusion rule to the second level, would immediately attempt to break through to the eleventh rank.


    This is because they have exhausted their potential at the tenth rank, and dying further would be pointless.


    But Lin Yuan was different¡ªhe still had plenty of room to grow.


    "In fifty years, besides the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule and the Great Destruction Rule, I''veprehended four other pir-level rules, all of which correspond to the twelve gates on the ck," Lin Yuan thought.


    Pir-level fusion rules are far more numerous than just twelve, but after realizing the effectiveness of the guidance spaces behind the twelve gates on the ck, Lin Yuan naturally focused hisprehension on those twelve pir-level rules.


    "Of the six pir-level fusion rules I''veprehended so far, they''re all rtively simple, involving the fusion of two pir rules."


    "The remaining six pir-level fusion rules are much more difficult, involving the fusion of three, four, or even five pir rules."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    Even among pir-level fusion rules, there are distinctions in power.


    Setting aside the inherent properties of the pir rules themselves, the number of pir rules being fused also determines the ultimate height of the fusion rule.


    For example, a fusion rule involving the pirs of space, life, and destruction would naturally be stronger than one involving just space and life.


    "Take it slow."


    "I have plenty of time," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    A tenth-rank Evolver can easily live for hundreds of millions of years; he was still in the early levels.


    "The fusion of time and space rules is particrly challenging," Lin Yuan reflected on his attempts to merge the time and space rules over the years.


    The time rule is a pir-level rule but also transcends other pir-level rules. Trying to merge time and space? So far, Lin Yuan''s progress in this area has been slow.


    With the mighty power of the time rule, even fusing it with an ordinary rule would result in a fusion rule far stronger than a typical pir-level fusion rule.


    "To merge time and space, and then elevate the time-space rule to the fifth level, is one of the thresholds for eleventh-rank beings attempting to reach the ultimate level."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts spread out. At his level, once highly ssified information was now known to him, including intelligence about eleventh-rank beings attempting to break through to the ultimate level.


    The most critical aspect of bing an ultimate being is breaking free from the constraints of the river of time, which requires mastery over time and space.


    Of course, the more rules one can merge, the greater the benefits. If one canprehend the legendary chaos rule, it would provide an enormous advantage in reaching the ultimate level.


    "This Chaos Crystal¡­" Lin Yuan thought, taking out a gray crystal infused with many dispersed rule auras.


    "If it were ten or a hundred timesrger, its help might surpass even that of the ck." The Chaos Crystal was too small, and the depth of the rules it contained wasn''t high.


    Of course, if the Chaos Crystal were ten or a hundred timesrger, Lin Yuan likely wouldn''t have obtained it.


    In the Devil Jade Tower''s judgment, the Chaos Crystal is ssified as an eleven-star rare item. If it were ten or a hundred timesrger, it would undoubtedly be a twelve-star rare item, or even a top-grade twelve-star rare item.


    Battlefield No. A098.


    The Yang Primordial Spirit sat cross-legged under the thousand-mile-wide permanent spatial rift.


    "Recently, the Insect Race has been making moves, inviting several eleventh-rank special beings to join. It seems they''re nning to escte the intensity of the war."


    Although Lin Yuan had never left the range of the permanent spatial rift above his head, his true body remained highly attuned to the intelligence and information about thisrge alien battlefield.


    So far, he was very satisfied with the rate at which he was umting Boundary-breaking Source Power on this battlefield.


    Unless absolutely necessary, Lin Yuan had no intention of leaving.


    "I now have nearly five hundred strands of Boundary-breaking Source Power, most of which I''ve umted on this battlefield," Lin Yuan thought with satisfaction. Nearly five hundred strands of Boundary-breaking Source Power¡ªit was the richest he had ever felt.


    "I hope the increase in the intensity of the war won''t be too drastic," Lin Yuan mused. In the highest-intensity battles in history,rge battlefields were almostpletely devastated, with even the Strongest Ones personally intervening.


    If things reached that level, Lin Yuan naturally wouldn''t have the time to peacefully umte Boundary-breaking Source Power here.


    "But what did the Strongest Ones do with that aurora from fifty years ago?" Lin Yuan suddenly wondered.


    The power of that aurora had reached an unimaginable level, easily shattering arge alien battlefield. If not for thebined efforts of more than ten ultimate beings, the impact would have been even greater.


    The more powerful the aurora, the more valuable it is. The Strongest Ones who intercepted it surely gained a substantial reward.


    "Did the Strongest Ones leave the permanent spatial rift unsealed for this moment?" Lin Yuan thought, his expression contemtive.


    Permanent spatial rifts contain extreme destructive power. The main universe''s self-repair mechanisms can''t heal them.


    But if the Strongest Ones were willing, they could easily dissipate the destructive power within the rift.


    Once the destructive power is gone, the main universe''s strong self-healing abilities could easily repair the rift.


    Milky Way Main Star.


    After resting briefly, Lin Yuan resumed his cultivation.


    "Great Destruction Rule," he whispered as strands of destructive energy appeared before him. In terms of pure killing power, the Great Destruction Rule surpasses even the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule.


    Among the six pir-level fusion rules Lin Yuan currently masters, the Life and Death Reincarnation Rule is the most advanced, having reached the second level.


    The Great Destruction Rule follows closely, just a step away from the second level. Lin Yuan estimated that it would take anywhere from a few days to a few months to elevate this fusion rule to the second level.


    At that point, Lin Yuan would possess two fusion rules at the second level, significantly boosting hisbat power.


    Great Destruction Rule.


    In the Great Destruction Rule Guidance Space on the ck, Lin Yuan was deeply immersed in understanding the essence of the Great Destruction Rule.


    At the same time, in addition toprehending the Great Destruction Rule, Lin Yuan was also studying other fusion rules, drawing on their insights and mutually influencing them.


    In the depths of the cosmic starry sky.


    In a twisted region of space-time, more than ten towering figures stood in all directions. In the center of them floated a radiant, hundred-mile-long aurora.


    "This aurora is a rare twelfth-rank material and can serve as the main ingredient for crafting an ultimate weapon. How should we divide it now?" A figure with a single horn on its forehead spoke up. All the beings present were Strongest Ones.


    Fifty years ago, more than ten Strongest Ones had worked together to intercept this aurora from beyond the universe. After fifty years of suppression, they had finally removed the alien aura from it.


    Now it was time to divide the aurora.


    In truth, each of the Strongest Ones present wanted to im the aurora for themselves.


    But if any of them tried, it would undoubtedly provoke the others into action.


    Under such circumstances, the more than ten Strongest Ones were wary of each other and ultimately proposed a rtively peaceful division of the aurora.


    There was no other choice.


    At the level of the Strongest Ones, it wasn''t worth fighting to the death over a single external item.


    The aurora was indeed precious, a top-grade twelfth-rank material, but it wouldn''t significantly enhance thebat power of a Strongest One until it was forged into an ultimate weapon.


    "Battlefield No. A076 was one of the main battlefields for human civilization, and it was pierced by this aurora. Our human civilization suffered heavy losses, so¡­"


    Among the more than ten Evolvers, a Strongest One from human civilization named Gu Li spoke, his gaze sweeping across the others. "We demand one-fifth of this aurora."


    "One-fifth?"


    The other Strongest Ones'' expressions darkened.


    There were more than ten of them present, and even dividing it evenly wouldn''t give each of them a tenth. Yet Gu Li wanted one-fifth?


    "Gu Li, you''re going too far," the single-horned Strongest One who had first spoken said.


    "Too far?"


    "What about the heavy losses my human civilization suffered?" Gu Li narrowed his eyes.


    "Those lost were the elite of my human civilization, our future. Without one-fifth, I can''t persuade the others."


    As soon as he finished speaking, eight more auras belonging to Strongest Ones tore through the barriers of time and space, forcibly joining the fray.


    (We humans are badass!! :D)

 Chapter 369

    "How about it?"


    "Our human civilization only needs one-fifth of the Aurora; this isn''t too much to ask."


    The strongest one Gu Li spoke calmly, but within this twisted space-time, the aura of the other eight strongest ones was unmistakably present.


    The other more than ten strongest ones nced at each other.


    Behind them also stood other ultimate beings, but the nine strongest ones from human civilization were indeed difficult to deal with.


    "Fine."


    The strongest one with a single horn finallypromised.


    There was no other choice.


    If they didn''t first satisfy the demands of human civilization, the subsequent division of the spoils couldn''t proceed.Swoosh.


    The strongest one Gu Li raised his hand and took one-fifth of the Aurora, then disappeared from this space-time.


    Once Gu Li left, the auras of the eight strongest ones from human civilization quickly withdrew as well.


    "The Tianyu n also suffered heavy losses," the ancestor of the Tianyu n slowly spoke, attempting to replicate human civilization''s earlier actions by iming a portion of the Aurora first.


    In the domain of human civilization.


    The minds and wills of the nine strongest ones rapidlymunicated.


    "This segment of Aurora contains a deep power of causal curse and killing. Before refining it into an ultimate weapon, we could let those talented evolversprehend it for a while."


    "Indeed, although thew of causality isn''t a pirw, it is one of the most mysterious and uniquews. The more one understands it, the more benefits there are."


    "Then let me be the one to refine this segment of Aurora."


    The nine strongest ones quickly decided on the use of the Aurora.


    Refine it into an ultimate weapon.


    However, before refining, they could allow some of the talented younger generation from human civilization to experience the essence of the Aurora up close.


    In the personal world of the strongest one, Xia Qin.


    Xia Qin sat high on his throne, as if pondering something.


    After a while.


    Lin Yuan appeared.


    "Strongest one," Lin Yuan bowed slightly.


    The more Lin Yuan cultivated, the more he felt the greatness of the strongest ones.


    This greatness far exceeded mere strength; their very essence of life, the height at which they existed, was beyond theprehension of beings bound to the river of time.


    "How have your recent cultivation efforts been? Have you encountered any bottlenecks?" Xia Qin asked with concern.


    Xia Qin cared deeply for Lin Yuan because, in his eyes, Lin Yuan was the most likely evolver of this era in human civilization to reach the ultimate level.


    If human civilization could produce a tenth strongest one, the pressure they bore would naturally lessen.


    "Everything is going well," Lin Yuan nodded.


    "Going well" was an understatement.


    Fifty years ago, Lin Yuan had onlyprehended two types of pir-level fusionws.


    But now, Lin Yuan had mastered six types of pir-level fusionws, among which thews of life and death reincarnation had reached the second realm, and the great destructionw was also nearing the second realm.


    Achievements that ordinary tenth-rank evolvers couldn''t attain in tens of millions of years, Lin Yuan had aplished in just fifty years.


    Moreover, aside fromprehending fusionws, Lin Yuan had made significant progress in thews of space, time, and the three protective secret arts of the Mysterious Emperor lineage.


    "As long as things are going well."


    Xia Qin did not inquire further.


    The path of evolution was an extremely personal matter.


    With Lin Yuan''s talent and aptitude, he had already forged his own path.


    If Xia Qin were to intervene forcefully, it would not be a good thing.


    What Xia Qin could do now was to solve any worries Lin Yuan might have.


    "In a while, there will be an opportunity toprehend that segment of the Aurora''s essence, and I will ensure that you get to go," Xia Qin said directly.


    "The essence of the Aurora?"


    "Is it the Aurora that shattered therge alien battlefield numbered A076?"


    Lin Yuan''s eyes lit up, and he immediately asked.


    "That''s correct," Xia Qin nodded.


    There was no need to hide this matter.


    "Through negotiations between our human civilization and those alien strongest ones, we finally secured one-fifth of the entire Aurora."


    Xia Qin briefly exined.


    "Negotiation?"


    "One-fifth?"


    Lin Yuan blinked.


    Among peak civilizations, strength is always paramount¡ªnegotiate? What negotiation?


    And one-fifth? ording to what Lin Yuan knew, there were ten strongest ones who participated in blocking that Aurora.


    This doesn''t even include the strongest ones who wanted to im a share afterward.


    For human civilization to directly im one-fifth¡ªthat was truly domineering.


    "Strongest one, where did this Aurorae from?" Lin Yuan asked.


    He knew that the Aurora came from beyond the permanent space rift, in the chaotic void.


    But exactly where, and why something like the ''Aurora'' would be born, he did not know.


    "This Aurora likelyes from the ''Taiyuan Ruins,''" Xia Qin pondered for a moment before speaking.


    "Taiyuan Ruins?" Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.


    "That''s right. Among the dangerous areas detected within the chaotic void, the Taiyuan Ruins are one of the nine major perilous ces," Xia Qin, the strongest one, said.


    Lin Yuan listened obediently.


    Xia Qin''s words clearly referred to things beyond the universe.


    "Is the Taiyuan Ruins this dangerous?" Lin Yuan noticed that Xia Qin used the term ''perilous ce'' to describe the Taiyuan Ruins.


    "Naturally, very dangerous," Xia Qin nodded. "Even a twelfth-rank lifeform, with one careless mistake, could bepletely trapped within the Taiyuan Ruins," Xia Qin exined.


    Moreover, the dangers of the Taiyuan Ruins are not limited to within the ruins; sometimes, various forbidden items are ejected from the depths of the ruins.


    These forbidden items vary in impact, ranging from negligible to immeasurable.


    "In the universe, twelfth-rank lifeforms are invincible and can at most be severely injured," Xia Qin said with a sigh, "But outside the universe, in the chaotic void, twelfth-rank lifeforms still face the possibility of death."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    A century or two ago, the corpse of a strongest one that drifted in from outside the universe made Lin Yuan realize that even the strongest ones could die.


    Strongest ones have merely transcended the river of time, without the limitation of lifespan, but that doesn''t mean they are immortal.


    "Of course, the chaotic void holds great opportunities as well. For us twelfth-rank beings to progress further and transform into perfect time lifeforms, there is only a slim chance to achieve it within the chaotic void," Xia Qin said.


    "Perfect time lifeforms?" Lin Yuan''s thoughts wandered.


    Ninth-rank lifeforms are also known as multi-dimensional lifeforms.


    From ninth-rank to eleventh-rank lifeforms, the transformation is from multi-dimensional lifeforms towards time lifeforms.


    Until reaching the twelfth rank.


    The twelfth-rank ultimate beings are barely considered half-time lifeforms.


    They upy the past and present, roaming along the ''banks'' of the river of time.


    But ultimate beings still have goals to pursue: to transform into perfect time lifeforms.


    Simply put, the goal of twelfth-rank ultimate beings is to attempt to upy the future.


    Only lifeforms that simultaneously upy the past, present, and future can be called perfect time lifeforms.


    It is said that perfect time lifeforms can see infinitely far into the future with a nce, and can also return to the ancient past.


    Theoretically, if perfect time lifeforms wish, they couldpletely alter past history and shape the future as they desire.


    However.


    Lin Yuan had never heard of the existence of a perfect time lifeform.


    Even His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign and the master of the Devil Jade Tower are far from being perfect time lifeforms; they are simply much stronger than most twelfth-rank ultimate beings.


    "The chaotic void holds great opportunities, but unfortunately, we lifeforms within the universe, even at the twelfth rank, cannot leave," Xia Qin, the strongest one, sighed, as if thinking of something.


    "Cannot leave?"


    Lin Yuan was puzzled.


    The permanent space rift is right there.


    Why can''t they leave?


    "The universe has its own will. Beings like us at the twelfth rank have consumed an enormous amount of cosmic energy. If we try to break free and enter the chaotic void, we will inevitably be met with the universe''s will, which will do everything to stop us," Xia Qin exined.


    "I see."


    Lin Yuan immediately understood.


    "So, the only way for us to enter the chaotic void is to wait until the end of this cosmic epoch, when all things perish," Xia Qin said, his tone carrying a hint of emotion.


    It was clear that the situation wasn''t as simple as he made it seem.


    When the cosmic epoch ends and all things copse, the strongest ones must survive topletely break free from the universe''s constraints.


    If they cannot survive, they will naturally perish along with the universe.


    However, the universe will be reborn after its destruction, but the strongest ones do not have that capability.


    If a strongest one perishes along with the universe, everything they are will be reduced to the most chaotic force, supporting the birth of the next cosmic epoch.


    Normally, among ten twelfth-rank ultimate beings, at most half would survive the end of a cosmic epoch.


    Only the twelfth-rank ultimate beings who survive the end of the cosmic epoch have the confidence to venture into the chaotic void.


    After leaving the strongest one''s personal world.


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts were slightly stirred.


    From Xia Qin he had learned much about higher-level information.


    For example, the nine great perilous ces of the chaotic void? Or the limitations the strongest ones face within the universe?


    "These things are still too far away from me."


    Lin Yuan thought for a while, then stopped dwelling on it.


    He was only at the tenth rank now, still a long way from the twelfth rank.


    And the end of the cosmic epoch? ording to Xia Qin only one-tenth of this cosmic epoch had passed since the universe''s birth.


    This meant that there were still nine-tenths of a cosmic epoch left, which wouldst more than trillions of years.


    So far, Lin Yuan had spent less than two hundred years in the main universe.


    Meanwhile.


    Outside the universe where Lin Yuan was located.


    In the chaotic void filled with gray mist.


    A ''white paper'' was speeding in a certain direction.


    Upon closer inspection, one would find that this ''white paper'' seemed tock the concept of ''thickness,'' having only length and width.


    Within the ''white paper,'' mist filled the space, vaguely epassing a vast world.


    The entire ''white paper'' resembled a painting scroll, graceful and mysterious.


    However, what was unimaginable was that...


    Wherever the ''white paper'' passed, the space in the chaotic void began to copse slightly, quickly losing the concept of spatial thickness, and even time became extremelypressed, as if suddenly dropping from three dimensions to two dimensions.


    Swoosh.


    In an instant.


    The ''white paper'' vanished into the dense chaotic airflow.

 Chapter 370

    "The Second Realm of the Great Destruction Law... it''s done."


    Shortly after parting ways with Xia Qin, Lin Yuanprehended the Great Destruction Law to the Second Realm.


    For other tenth-rank A-tier beings, once theyprehend a Second Realm Pir-level Fusion Law, who wouldn''t be ecstatic? This means they can step into the eleventh rank.


    In the universe''s starry sky, among all races, the eleventh-rank beings are the most powerful below the strongest ones.


    This "most powerful" refers to all aspects, not just strength.


    For example,prehending the Law of Time? For a tenth-rank being, the threshold toprehend the Law of Time is so high that it has scarcely been achieved since the universe''s inception.


    However, for an eleventh-rank being, while still difficult, it''s at least easier than for a tenth-rank being.


    Once theyprehend the Law of Time, it means a significant extension of their lifespan.


    By slowing down their own time flow, one year for an eleventh-rank being can equate to thousands or even tens of thousands of years for a tenth-rank being.But...


    These things didn''t mean much to Lin Yuan.


    The Law of Time? Lin Yuan had alreadyprehended it back when he was at the ninth rank.


    And even if he hadn''t, Lin Yuan wouldn''t have cared much about his lifespan.


    How old is he now? He has plenty of lifespan, something that those ancient eleventh-rank beings crave.


    As for refining the Great Destruction Law to the Second Realm, mastering another Second Realm Fusion Law doesn''t significantly increase Lin Yuan''s strength as one might imagine.


    After all, Lin Yuan is nowpared to the eleventh-rank beings. With his current foundation and methods, even withoutprehending any Second Realm Fusion Law, he could still be considered invincible among the tenth-rank.


    And at the eleventh-rank level,prehending a Second Realm Pir-level Fusion Law is just a minor breakthrough.


    "Next, the remaining four Pir-level Fusion Laws will also be refined to the Second Realm," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    "And the Third Realm?" Lin Yuan pondered.


    Currently, the most likely to reach the Third Realm is the Law of Life and Death Reincarnation.


    However, even with the guidance from the ck and the space forprehension, Lin Yuan estimated it would take him between one hundred to two hundred years to reach the Third Realm.


    As for the Fourth Realm? Without first reaching the Third Realm, Lin Yuan couldn''t predict the difficulty of stepping into the Fourth Realm, but it shouldn''t take more than five hundred years.


    "To cultivate from the First to the Fourth Realm in just over seven hundred years... that''s eptable."


    Lin Yuan did some quick calctions and nodded slightly.


    Seven hundred years is nothing for a tenth-rank evolver¡ªblink, and it''s gone¡ªbut Lin Yuan could use this time to refine a Pir-level Fusion Law to the Fourth Realm.


    Lin Yuan was quite satisfied with this.


    Moreover, during these seven hundred years, Lin Yuan wouldn''t be refining just one Pir-level Fusion Law, but six.


    Additionally, new Pir-level Fusion Laws could beprehended at any time, as well as furtherprehension of the Laws of Time and Space.


    "What level of the eleventh rank does my strength currently equate to?"


    Lin Yuan suddenly thought.


    So far, the various races across the universe divide the eleventh-rank beings into six levels.


    The first level of the eleventh rank refers to those who have just entered the eleventh rank and have not yetprehended the Law of Time.


    The second level refers to eleventh-rank beings who haveprehended the Law of Time.


    The third level involves refining a Pir-level Law to the Fifth Realm.


    The fourth level involvesbining the Laws of Time and Space,prehending the Law of Spacetime.


    The fifth level is reaching the Fifth Realm in the Law of Spacetime.


    The sixth level is when all aspects have reached their peak, ready to challenge the ultimate.


    Theoretically, an eleventh-rank being at the fifth level has the potential to challenge the ultimate, but the chances are slim, hence the sixth level.


    Even those at the sixth level of the eleventh rank have a very low sess rate in stepping into the ultimate.


    Bing the ultimate, transcending the river of time and achieving immortality, involves many factors.


    Historically, many eleventh-rank peak beings who were highly regarded by all parties failed in their ultimate challenge, resulting in death and theplete annihtion of their existence. ???


    Therefore, the major races concluded that to challenge the ultimate, a certain amount of "luck" is required.


    Without "luck," no matter how prepared or well-founded, it''s futile.


    "I''m probably at the second level."


    Lin Yuan repeatedlypared himself and ced his current strength at the second level of the eleventh rank.


    The third level of the eleventh rank requires refining a Pir-level Fusion Law to the Fifth Realm, which is a level Lin Yuan cannot reach in the short term.


    "If I can refine all twelve Pir-level Fusion Laws within the ck to the Fourth Realm, I should be able to match the third level of the eleventh rank."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The third level of the eleventh rank typically requires refining a Pir-level Fusion Law to the Fifth Realm.


    However, twelve Fourth Realm Pir-level Fusion Laws could result in a qualitative change due to the quantity. Moreover, the six remaining Pir-level Fusion Laws are not ordinary.


    They should beparable to a Fifth Realm Pir-level Fusion Law.


    Of course.


    The difference between a tenth-rank and an eleventh-rank being is not only in theprehension of Fusion Laws.


    There are also differences in physical body, soul, mental will, and the inner world, among other aspects.


    Normally, an eleventh-rank being receives an additional infusion of cosmic origin, creating a chasm between them and tenth-rank beings.


    However, Lin Yuan received an infusion of chaotic void origin, which significantly bridged this gap, giving him the potential to rival an eleventh-rank being.


    Virtual World.


    Lin Yuan was casually chatting with Vice Tower Master Nn.


    "The war at the A098 alien battlefield is expected to intensify. The Goddess of Freedom has already begun mobilizing, asking me to send a clone there."


    Vice Tower Master Nn sighed.


    As an eleventh-rank evolver, each one is extremely crucial. Even onrge alien battlefields, eleventh-rank beings are pivotal forces.


    As for the strongest ones? Unless a true fury breaks out or other factorse into y, the strongest ones usually don''t get involved.


    Below the strongest ones, the eleventh rank is the strongest, and even a first-level eleventh-rank evolver like Vice Tower Master Nn can significantly influence the oue ofrge-scale battles.


    "I''ve heard about it," Lin Yuan nodded.


    In fact, the A098 alien battlefield is precisely where Lin Yuan''s Yang Primordial Spirit is located.


    A while ago, Lin Yuan vaguely sensed changes in the situation on therge alien battlefield, realizing that a more intense war might be on the horizon.


    "As long as the war doesn''t escte to a level where the strongest ones intervene, it shouldn''t affect me."


    At the A098 battlefield, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged beneath the permanent space rift. Given hisprehension of Space and Time Laws, it was difficult for other tenth or eleventh-rank beings to detect him here.


    Milky Way''s main star.


    Lin Yuan sat in a deep spaceyer.


    A majestic force of blood energy circted around him, spreading out in a field of profound yellow energy within a hundred miles.


    One of the three protective secret arts of the Mysterious Emperor lineage¡ª"Mysterious Emperor''s Body."


    No matter which lineage it is, survival is always the most crucial¡ªonly by staying alive can one hope.


    This is the principle of the Mysterious Emperor lineage. In terms of survival, they have the "Mysterious Emperor''s Body" and "Steps of Space and Time."


    "The thirdyer..." Lin Yuan opened his eyes and sighed slightly.


    The "Mysterious Emperor''s Body" is divided into fouryers, with the fourthyer being the perfect realm.


    A perfected "Mysterious Emperor''s Body" in a twelfth-rank being is said to be indestructible, capable of easily withstanding the damage of the universe''s destruction at the end of an epoch.


    However.


    As he continued to cultivate.


    Lin Yuan increasingly realized the difficulty of this secret art.


    The cultivation of the "Mysterious Emperor''s Body" demands an enormous amount of resources.


    Initially, Lin Yuan thought that with therge amount of mysterious crystals within the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, along with the corpses and treasures of nearly ten thousand ninth-rank alien beings, he could at least cultivate this secret art to a deep level.


    This was Lin Yuan''s assumption based on the vast information about this secret art.


    However, he overlooked a critical factor.


    He was not like an ordinary tenth-rank being.


    If it were an ordinary tenth-rank being, the immense resources of the secret realm could naturally satisfy their cultivation needs.


    But Lin Yuan?


    Before stepping into the tenth rank, his physical body was already hundreds of times stronger than others of the same level.


    After stepping into the tenth rank and receiving the chaotic void origin infusion, the difference had grown to thousands of times.


    And this was just his physical body.


    There was also the soul and the inner world.


    Normally, to advance the "Mysterious Emperor''s Body" to the next level, one would need a certain amount of resources.


    But Lin Yuan needed millions or even billions of times that amount.


    While the final boost to his own power was satisfying to Lin Yuan, the resources required were simply too vast.


    And this was just for his true body. His two Primordial Spirits were also watching from the sidelines.


    Since stepping into the tenth rank and realizing the surge in his resource needs, Lin Yuan had decisively halted the cultivation of the "Mysterious Emperor''s Body" secret art for his two Primordial Spirits.


    Such a defensive secret art must prioritize the true body''s cultivation; the two Primordial Spirits would just have to wait for now.


    A098 alien battlefield.


    Lin Yuan continued to cultivate beneath the permanent space rift.


    "In recent months, the number of eleventh-rank beings on the battlefield has increased by at least a hundred," Lin Yuan observed during his cultivation, ncing at the distant region.


    The total number of eleventh-rank evolvers in human civilization was less than a thousand.


    Now, on this battlefield alone, there were over a hundred eleventh-rank beings, not including those who were originally stationed here.


    And those who came secretly, avoiding Lin Yuan''s detection.


    "Tuoba Ancient God..."


    Lin Yuan''s gaze deepened. On this battlefield, he had heard intelligence about Tuoba Ancient God.


    Tuoba Ancient God had been invited by the Insect Race to support them.


    Tuoba Ancient God was the ancient god corresponding to the ancient god evolution path that Fang Qing initially cultivated.


    Due to the incident with Fang Qing, Lin Yuan had a significant grudge against this ancient god.


    Since bing an evolver, Tuoba Ancient God was the first being to tantly threaten him.


    ording to the information Lin Yuan had on the Tuoba Ancient God.


    This ancient god was a fifth-level eleventh-rank being, extremely powerful, and highly ranked among all ancient gods. Otherwise, he would not have dared to ignore the authority of Sigu Ancient God and n to challenge the ultimate within millions of years.


    Sigu Ancient God had mentioned that Tuoba Ancient God''s lifespan was hundreds of millions of years.


    But for an eleventh-rank being, hundreds of millions of years lifespan is not measured by the time flow in the main world.


    With the Tuoba Ancient God''s control over the time flow, it could survive in the main world for hundreds of billions or even trillions of years.


    But the Tuoba Ancient God had the ambition to challenge the ultimate, indicating that it wouldn''t continue to prolong its life by slowing time.


    In fact, many ancient and special beings born at the universe''s inception had lived long enough. Prolonging their time flow to achieve a form of alternative immortality held little meaning.


    Even if they survive through one era after another, can they really be ultimate beings? But every eleventh-rank being has different views.


    Some believe that in the distant future, there is hope for them to be ultimate beings. Others think that since death is inevitable, it''s better to challenge the ultimate sooner rather thanter.


    Of course, those who hold thetter view are usually unique, solitary beings.


    If one has ties to a n, it''s definitely better to live longer and protect the n for as long as possible.


    The Tuoba Ancient God, with no rtives or attachments, is a unique being in the universe''s starry sky, which is why it dared to extort Lin Yuan so boldly.


    "My current strength is far from Tuoba Ancient God''s."


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Tuoba Ancient God is a fifth-level eleventh-rank being, while Lin Yuan is currently onlyparable to a second-level eleventh-rank being. The gap between their strengths is simply iparable.


    The strength gap between each of the six levels of the eleventh rank is significant.


    "Give me a thousand years," Lin Yuan harbored a killing intent towards Tuoba Ancient God but knew it was unrealistic.


    However, with his growth rate, Lin Yuan estimated that in a thousand or two thousand years, he would have a chance.


    Of course, it would still be just a chance. Given Tuoba Ancient God''s strength, Lin Yuan estimated that he would need to be a strongest one to confidently defeat it.


    Xiayou Evolution Tower.


    Lin Yuan''s Yin Primordial Spirit arrived in person.


    At the same time, other tenth-rank A-tier evolvers were also present.


    "You only have a hundred years."


    "In these hundred years, try toprehend this segment of the Aurora as much as possible."


    Xia Qin appeared without any preamble, and a segment of colorful, radiant Aurora floated in the air.


    ording to the agreement with the other eight strongest ones in human civilization, this segment of Aurora would stay in each Evolution Tower for a hundred years.


    After nine hundred years, it would be refined into an ultimate weapon.


    By then, its power would be contained, making it difficult toprehend.


    "So this is the Aurora from beyond the universe that easily shattered arge battlefield?" Lin Yuan''s gaze immediately focused on the Aurora.


    [Your Unrivaled Insight allows you toprehend the Laws of Light more deeply by observing the unknown Aurora.]


    [Your Unrivaled Insight allows you toprehend the Laws of Causality more deeply by observing the unknown Aurora.]


    [Your Unrivaled Insight allows you toprehend the Laws of Space more deeply by observing the unknown Aurora.]


    In just a single breath.


    Lin Yuan sensed dozens ofw fluctuations from this segment of Aurora, with the Laws of Light and Causality being the most intense.


    "The Laws of Light..."


    Lin Yuan faintly felt that the Light Law within the Aurora was not normal. It must have fused with otherws, otherwise, it couldn''t be this powerful.


    And the Law of Causality, while easy to start with, is extremely difficult to master. Without fully immersing himself in it, Lin Yuan''sprehension of the Law of Causality wasn''t very deep.


    "The remaining six Pir-level Laws within the ck involve two rted to the Law of Causality. Perhaps by leveraging this Aurora, I can achieve the necessary level of understanding?"


    Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    The Law of Causality, although not a Pir Law, is more difficult toprehend than most Pir Laws.


    And the Pir-level Fusion Laws that epass the Law of Causality are extremely special and elusive, making them difficult to counter.


    A098 alien battlefield.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged beneath the thousand-mile permanent space rift, where slow space fluctuations emanated.


    At that moment¡ª


    Lin Yuan''s expression changed slightly.


    "This feeling?"


    Lin Yuan suddenly looked up at the permanent space rift above him.


    Vaguely, he sensed an unknown change urring within the rift.


    The next moment.


    Under Lin Yuan''s watchful eyes.


    A "white paper" squeezed through.


    The "white paper" had only length and width,cking the concept of "thickness," giving off a contradictory feeling.


    "White paper?" Lin Yuan stared intently at the white paper, and vaguely, it made his scalp tingle.


    Rustle.


    The white paper, once inside the universe, instantly pierced through the entirerge battlefield.


    However, therge battlefield didn''t shatter; instead, a kind of dimensional copse urred, losing the concept of spatial volume. In just a moment, therge alien battlefield, nearly a thousand light-years in size, waspressed into a scroll, then absorbed into the "white paper."


    Buzz.


    The white paper continued to fly through the starry sky.


    Wherever it went, all matter waspressed, and even space itself was absorbed into the scroll, which then merged into the white paper.


    "What is that?"


    A towering figure staggered back a few steps, incredulous as he watched the rapidly departing "white paper."


    He was a twelfth-rank ultimate being, and just a moment ago, he was almost caught up in the white paper. But as a being that transcends the river of time, the white paper''s dimensional reduction couldn''t fully suppress him, allowing him to escape.


    However.


    He escaped.


    But countless lives on the A098 battlefield, including the eleventh-rank beings, were all drawn into the white paper.


    Even space itself rapidly copsed, as if a portion had been cut away.


    "The Taiyuan Ruins... that direction leads to the Taiyuan Ruins."


    One after another, the strongest ones appeared, staring grimly at the departing white paper.


    "What has happened at the Taiyuan Ruins?" The strongest one with the single horn had a heavy expression. Fifty or sixty years ago, the Aurora also came from the Taiyuan Ruins.


    Now, this strange white paper was alsoing from the direction of the Taiyuan Ruins.


    This made them specte that something unpredictable might have happened at the Taiyuan Ruins.


    "Everyone, let''s not worry about the Taiyuan Ruins for now."


    "If we let that white paper continue, one ten-thousandth of our universe''s area will be reduced to a lower dimension."


    One of the strongest ones spoke.


    Although the white paper''s dimensional reduction effect was ineffective against the strongest ones, their ns, and the countless lives within them, were all within the range of dimensional reduction.


    "Let''s join forces."


    "Let''s join forces to stop that white paper."


    "Yes, we can''t let it keep flying around."


    The strongest ones quickly made a decision and began to take action, using their great power over time and space to slowly restrict the white paper''s movement.


    Soon.


    The white paper''s flight speed slowed.


    Finally, it stopped under a certain starry sky.


    The white paper slowly unfolded, revealing a scroll radiating a mysterious aura before the strongest ones.

 Chapter 371

    Christmas Day!! Double chapters for you guys :D


    ...


    In a daze, Lin Yuan finally regained consciousness.


    "Where is this?"


    Lin Yuan observed his surroundings and found himself lying in a narrow room.


    Lin Yuan rubbed his temples. Before his consciousness hadpsed into unconsciousness, he had seen a ''white paper.''


    A piece of ''white paper'' that had squeezed through a permanent spatial rift from the outside.


    And then...


    Lin Yuan felt a dramatic change in space and time, as if some kind of support was copsing."What exactly happened?"


    Lin Yuan reestablished his connection with his true self, and he let out a slight sigh of relief.


    "No, something''s wrong."


    Lin Yuan''s expression suddenly became serious.


    "Where is the spatialyer?"


    "And where are the various rule fluctuations?"


    Lin Yuan could hardly believe it. At this moment, he couldn''t sense even the slightest rule fluctuations.


    And the spatialyer? Not only could he not detect any spatial rules, but there was also no trace of the spatialyer.


    It was as if this world had only an extremely thinyer of space.


    But how could that be possible?


    If there were no spatialyers, it would mean the world was iplete.


    An iplete world couldn''t possibly bear the descent of a tenth-rank life form like him. Even if it could barely contain him, he should be able to tear everything apart with just a thought. But now, Lin Yuan didn''t feel any such capability.


    Milky Way''s main star.


    Lin Yuan frowned deeply.


    "All the spatial fluctuations are still there, and so is the spatialyer."


    Lin Yuan was puzzled. How could there be no spatial rule fluctuations where the Yang Primordial Spirit was located?


    It''s well known that time and space are the fundamental pirs of any spatial world. Other rule fluctuations could be suppressed or shielded.


    But time and space cannot be suppressed or shielded.


    For example, in the space of a ck, you could only feel the corresponding fusion rule fluctuations, but aside from that, there would still be slight spatial fluctuations.


    "The Strongest One."


    Lin Yuan immediately contacted the Strongest One.


    "You, along with all the life forms on the battlefield, have fallen into that piece of white paper," the Strongest One, Xia Qin, said as soon as he saw Lin Yuan.


    "Everything near that white paper will be automatically ''degraded.'' Only twelfth-rank life forms can resist it," Xia Qin, added. "But don''t worry, I''m working on a way to see if I can pull you out."


    "Thank you, Strongest One."


    Lin Yuan roughly understood the situation of the Yang Primordial Spirit.


    Inside the white paper scroll.


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts spread out.


    "I''m currently inside that white paper, forcibly downgraded. No wonder I can''t sense any rule fluctuations," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    "Even my internal world has beenpressed into a t ne," Lin Yuan examined himself and found that his internal world hadpletely disappeared, leaving only a faint trace.


    "My physical body, my power, my soul, they''ve all been forcibly reduced to an extremely low level." Lin Yuan carefully sensed his condition, and his expression grew grave.


    "But...the Gate of Myriad Realms is still here." Lin Yuan''s consciousness sank into his mind, looking at the still majestic and grand Gate of Myriad Realms.


    Even in this two-dimensional world inside the white paper, the Gate of Myriad Realms still exuded a supreme aura, unaffected in any way.


    "A two-dimensional world?"


    This was the first time Lin Yuan had encountered such a world.


    Previously, in his nine transmigrations through the Gate of Myriad Realms, he had always traveled to other dimensional nes.


    But the dimensions he had traversed were all on the same level as the main universe''s dimension. As for lower dimensions, Lin Yuan had never encountered them.


    "That piece of white paper can actually reduce everything nearby to two dimensions. The chaotic void is truly mysterious, even containing such strange objects."


    Lin Yuan wasn''t panicked but waited for a reply from the Strongest One.


    In fact, if he hadn''t invested a great deal of resources in this Yang Primordial Spirit body, Lin Yuan would have already considered extinguishing this clone and leaving.


    But being rescued by the Strongest One would naturally be a better oue.


    Milky Way''s main star.


    Lin Yuan waited for a moment.


    He saw the Strongest One, Xia Qin, again.


    Compared to his earlier calmness, the Strongest One''s expression was now solemn.


    "There''s a bit of a problem."


    Xia Qin, looked at Lin Yuan and said in a deep voice, "That ''white paper'' is of too high a level. We can''t refine it, nor can we interfere with it."


    The implication was clear.


    They couldn''t pull Lin Yuan out.


    "Then I''ll just abandon that clone," Lin Yuan immediately said.


    Although he was quite curious about the two-dimensional world inside the white paper, without specific information, Lin Yuan dared not stay in it for long.


    What if he encountered the curse-killing power of that cosmic outer light? Wouldn''t that be even more troublesome? Though that cosmic outer light could only curse-kill life forms below the tenth rank, and Lin Yuan had left a lot of his blood in the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm.


    With the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm''s ability to iste cause and effect, even a curse from the Strongest One could be easily blocked.


    But who could say for sure when it came to the chaotic void? So, it was better to leave as soon as possible.


    A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall.


    "Absolutely not,"Xia Qin, shook his head.


    "An alien race has already tried to self-destruct a clone that fell into the white paper."


    "But the result..."


    The Strongest One paused for a moment before continuing, "It was discovered that the self-destructed clone could never recover."


    "Never recover?"


    Lin Yuan was shocked.


    The essence of the clone technique is to cut off a part of one''s own spiritual will, and then with that will as the core, derive a second body. For any life form, the spiritual will is the most crucial part. Only through the same spiritual will can memorymunication and consciousness sharing be achieved.


    And to maintain the connection between the split spiritual will and the true self.


    The total amount of spiritual will is fixed.


    For example, if a tenth-rank strong being''s spiritual will is ten points.


    If two points of spiritual will are split off to form a clone.


    Then the true self''s spiritual will would be eight points.


    The clone''s spiritual will would be two points.


    If another two points of spiritual will were split off to form a second clone.


    Then the true self''s spiritual will would be six points.


    The spiritual will of the two clones would each be two points.


    This is also why most strong beings only have one clone.


    The more clones are formed, the weaker the true self''s spiritual will bes.


    And the weakening of spiritual will has aprehensive impact, including on the understanding of rules, the exertion of one''s own strength, and so on.


    If a clone perishes outside.


    Then the true self''s spiritual will would recover.


    And then you could continue to split your spiritual will to form a new clone.


    But what the Strongest One, Xia Qin, meant was that in the two-dimensional world within the white paper, a self-destructed clone would be permanently lost? In other words, the spiritual will carried by the clone could not recover, and the true self would permanently lose part of its spiritual will?


    In a sh.


    Lin Yuan immediately realized what that meant.


    The consequences were dire.


    The price was too severe.


    Permanently losing part of his spiritual will could almost make his potential and strength drop by several levels.


    Creating a clone does require splitting off a part of one''s spiritual will, but as long as the clone is recovered, that part of the spiritual will can be restored.


    But now?


    Permanently unable to recover?


    "I..."


    Lin Yuan thought of himself.


    If the Yang Primordial Spirit were to perish in the two-dimensional world inside the white paper.


    Would that mean he could no longer re-condense this Primordial Spirit?


    And the Yin Primordial Spirit and Yang Primordial Spirit were the foundation of Lin Yuan''s martial path, supporting his grand martial arts.


    Permanently losing the Yang Primordial Spirit would severely impact Lin Yuan''s martial evolution system.


    With only the Yin Primordial Spirit, his martial path would lose the bnce of Yin and Yang and could potentially copse.


    "The Gate of Myriad Realms."


    In the two-dimensional world inside the white paper, Lin Yuan''s consciousness immediately sank into his mind, looking at the grand Gate of Myriad Realms.


    If his spiritual will entered the Gate of Myriad Realms, descending into other dimensional worlds, and waited for the Yang Primordial Spirit to die in the two-dimensional world, could the spiritual will of the Yang Primordial Spirit then return to the true self?


    Could this avoid the permanent loss of the Yang Primordial Spirit?


    Lin Yuan wasn''t sure; this method could only be used as ast resort.


    "The best choice, of course, is to escape from this two-dimensional world, but how do I do that?" Lin Yuan''s thoughts were racing.


    Human civilization''s strongest beings knew nothing about that ''white paper,'' the only certainty was that it was rted to the Taiyuan Ruins.


    "Wait."


    "Ask them."


    Lin Yuan''s thoughts shifted.


    Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm.


    Lin Yuan''s consciousness avatar descended.


    "Master," a six-armed figure bowed slightly to Lin Yuan, showing respect.


    "Do you know anything about this ''white paper''?" Lin Yuan didn''t waste time and directly revealed the appearance of the ''white paper.''


    The six-armed figure was the spirit of the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm, created by the Mysterious Sovereign himself, so it certainly knew far more than the nine strongest beings of human civilization.


    After all, the Mysterious Sovereign was a formidable being with great renown even in the chaotic void.


    "This ''white paper'' contains a two-dimensional world where everything nearby is forcibly degraded and falls into the white paper," Lin Yuan exined everything he knew.


    "A two-dimensional world?"


    "White paper?"


    The six-armed figure was slightly stunned.


    "Master, do you mean ''low-dimensional space''?" the six-armed figure quickly asked.


    "Low-dimensional space?" Lin Yuan''s spirit lifted. "Exin it in detail."


    "Yes." The six-armed figure didn''t dare to hesitate, realizing how important this was to Lin Yuan.


    "The so-called low-dimensional space originated from a small amount of information that His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign obtained from a dangerous ce."


    The six-armed figure quickly exined: "Low-dimensional space was created by beings approaching the perfection of time-life to explore other dimensional spaces."


    "However,ter on, some strong beings discovered that low-dimensional space could allow two beings of different strengths to stand on the same starting point, each splitting a part of their spiritual will to descend into the low-dimensional space, where they would both have to start from scratch."


    "Abandoning everything, starting anew, with no influence from bloodlines, no influence from secret techniques, and no influence from ruleprehension, the greatest use of low-dimensional space was to test ''insight.''"


    "Under the same starting point and environment, within a fixed time, the one who improved their strength the fastest would be the one with the strongest insight."


    "Later, low-dimensional space gradually became a form of entertainment, where beings of different levels would often split off a part of their spiritual will to enter the low-dimensional space and engage in a round of battle."


    The six-armed figure paused for a moment, seeming to recall something. "Of course, there are two types of low-dimensional space."


    "One is purely for entertainment, without any restrictions."


    "The other is a gamble-type low-dimensional space, where there are many rules, and leaving in the middle will result in severe punishment. However, if you defeat your opponent in the end, you will also receive generous rewards."


    The six-armed figure''s tone took on a hint of nostalgia: "His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign once said that the final winner of a low-dimensional space would take everything."


    ...

 Chapter 372

    "Low-dimensional space?"


    Lin Yuan''s expression became serious.


    Based on the six-armed figure''s description of ''low-dimensional space,'' Lin Yuan was almost certain that the ''white paper'' was indeed a ''low-dimensional space.''


    "Master, have you encountered a ''low-dimensional space''?" the six-armed figure asked curiously.


    ''Low-dimensional space'' involves exploration of lower dimensions. Even the Mysterious Sovereign hadn''t obtained aplete low-dimensional space in the past.


    The chaotic void has seen countless cosmic epochs, with too many strange and precious items lost over time.


    A treasure like ''low-dimensional space'' might only be found deep withinrge, dangerous regions. But even that is uncertain¡ªwhen the Mysterious Sovereign explored many such dangerous regions, all he obtained was some information about ''low-dimensional space.''


    As for actually seeing a true low-dimensional space, that remained elusive.


    "Not only have I seen it," Lin Yuan replied, "but one of my clones has also fallen into it."Lin Yuan briefly exined what had happened. There was no need to hide anything from the six-armed figure, as it could be fully trusted.


    "Master, are you saying that along with you, many other strong beings have fallen into the low-dimensional space?" The six-armed figure''s eyes widened.


    "Yes," Lin Yuan nodded. "The number should exceed one hundred million."


    The A098 alien battlefield was arge-scale alien battlefield, with arge number of strong beings stationed there regrly.


    Especially before the ''white paper'' descended, various forces were preparing for a high-intensity battlefield, continuously gathering strong beings from all sides.


    Lin Yuan roughly estimated that there were likely more than three hundred eleventh-rank strong beings on this battlefield.


    About two hundred thousand tenth-rank beings.


    And nearly one hundred million eighth and ninth-rank beingsbined.


    This was just the number of strong beings themselves, not including things like puppets.


    For example, the Insect Race''s strong beings are skilled at breedingrge numbers of insect warriors, which don''t have independent thought and are not counted among the strong beings.


    "One hundred million?"


    "Low-dimensional space is just a simplified space; how could it possibly amodate one hundred million lives instantly?"


    The six-armed figure was somewhat stunned.


    In the information the Mysterious Sovereign had about ''low-dimensional space,'' whether it was for entertainment or gambling, the number of lives that could be amodated simultaneously was extremely limited.


    At most, it wouldn''t exceed one hundred.


    As for one hundred million? The foundation of low-dimensional space was far weaker than that of the normal chaotic void; it simply couldn''t bear that many lives.


    Unless...


    The six-armed figure''s expression turned serious. "Master, I suspect that the low-dimensional space you fell into is one of the original low-dimensional spaces, created by those near-perfect time-life beings at great cost and with infinite resources."


    Low-dimensional space was originally created by near-perfect time-life beings to explore other dimensions.


    The ''low-dimensional spaces'' spreadter were all imitations and reproductions of the original ones.


    "The original low-dimensional space?" Lin Yuan asked, slightly puzzled.


    "Yes," the six-armed figure continued. "His Majesty didn''t know much about the original low-dimensional spaces, only that they contained opportunities granted by those near-perfect time-life beings."


    "Any life that falls into such a low-dimensional space and meets the conditions can receive a reward."


    The six-armed figure exined.


    "How do I leave?" Lin Yuan asked the crucial question.


    "Finding a way to leave shouldn''t be too difficult, Master. You just need to explore the low-dimensional space more, and you''ll probably find out," the six-armed figure replied, hesitating slightly.


    Inside the white paper.


    Lin Yuan still sat cross-legged in that narrow room.


    Through conversations with the Strongest One, Xia Qin, the spirit of the Mysterious Emperor''s Secret Realm, and the humanoid statue Shen Ji, Lin Yuan had made some basic judgments about his current situation.


    First, if the Yang Primordial Spirit were to die in this two-dimensional world, he would lose this Primordial Spirit from its very root.


    Second, there should be a way to leave, but leaving sessfully wouldn''t be easy.


    In this low-dimensional space, leaving midway would result in severe punishment, and it was very likely that defeating other beings who had fallen into this world would be necessary to escape.


    Third, as long as certain conditions were met, one could receive a reward from the creator of this two-dimensional world, who was a near-perfect time-life being.


    Fourth, the flow of time was different from the main universe, with a ratio of about one hundred to one.


    Simply put, one year in the main universe would equal one hundred years in this two-dimensional world.


    Lin Yuan''s primary focus now was on leaving this two-dimensional world. Whether he could receive any rewards was not a priority.


    "In this two-dimensional world, ny-nine percent of the ways to increase strength in the main universe are useless," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    In the main universe, for all the races, whether it was human civilization or others, strength was primarily increased by understanding the many rules.


    Using the power of the rules, one could easily unleash power far beyond their own limits.


    Moreover, when ruleprehension reached a certain level, one could open up an internal world, leveraging the power of that world to exponentially increase their strength.


    But here?


    Rules?


    There are no rules.


    Internal world?


    Without the support of spatial dimensions, there''s no concept of opening up an internal world; Lin Yuan''s internal world had beenpressed into a mere sheet of paper.


    Therefore.


    In this world, there are only two ways to increase strength.


    The first is the physical body.


    The stronger the physical body, the stronger the overall power.


    This is the most primal contest of strength.


    The second is technique.


    In the face of absolute power, technique doesn''t matter much.


    But if the power levels are simr, or if the gap is small, the side with better technique will have aprehensive advantage.


    Currently, Lin Yuan didn''t know what the conditions for leaving this two-dimensional world were.


    But increasing his strength couldn''t be wrong.


    "The martial path of evolution is already good at enhancing the physical body, but in this two-dimensional world, the method to strengthen the body ispletely different from that of the main universe."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.


    Since near-perfect time-life beings created ''low-dimensional space,'' it has been widely spread, used as a form of entertainment or gambling topare ''insight.''


    This is because the life forms within ''low-dimensional space'' find their previous cultivation methods mostly useless. To grow stronger, they must create new methods that are adapted to the ''low-dimensional space.''


    "I have Unrivaled Insight; creating a cultivation method suitable for this world shouldn''t be difficult," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    However, he didn''t underestimate the other strong beings who had fallen into this two-dimensional world.


    Especially those eleventh-rank beings; Lin Yuan believed that no one at the same level could match his insight.


    Butpared to higher-level life forms, the gap would inevitably narrow.


    Moreover, without the support of rule power, the upper limit of this two-dimensional world was likely not very high.


    "Take it slow."


    Lin Yuan reined in his thoughts.


    Since he had fallen into this two-dimensional world, he could only take things one step at a time.


    "Let''s see what''s outside the room," Lin Yuan decided, standing up and pushing open the wooden door.


    Outside was lush greenery, and in the distance, a stream flowed. A dark-skinned middle-aged man was fishing by the stream.


    "Whoa-ha-ha."


    When the middle-aged man saw Lin Yuan step out of the room, he immediately walked over withrge strides, speaking anguage that Lin Yuan didn''t understand.


    "A newnguage?"


    Lin Yuan listened carefully, observing the changes in the man''s expression with each syble.


    After a moment''s pause, Lin Yuan tried saying a few words, continuing to observe the man''s reaction. After three or four minutes, Lin Yuan could roughlymunicate with the middle-aged man.


    Although everything about Lin Yuan was suppressed in this two-dimensional world, his true self in the main universe could share memories with him.


    With the ''thought speed'' of a tenth-rank life form and Unrivaled Insight, learning thenguage of this world was a breeze for Lin Yuan.


    In fact, if he were not in this two-dimensional world, Lin Yuan could have silently read all of the man''s memories, a far more efficient method than learning throughnguage.


    "So you''re saying that two days ago, countless ''meteors'' fell from the sky, and one of themnded nearby. You went to investigate and found me?" Lin Yuan asked aftermunicating with the middle-aged man for a while, his expression thoughtful.


    The so-called ''meteors'' were likely strong beings like him who had been drawn into the white paper from the battlefield.


    After a moment.


    By continuously guiding the middle-aged man, Lin Yuan roughly gathered some basic information about this two-dimensional world.


    From the man''s perspective, he lived on an endless, vast continent.


    Life on this continent was extremely primitive, with most people living in tribes.


    asionally, there would be a city, and a city was considered an incredibly powerful force, supposedly under the protection of a great ''Witch King.''


    The ''Witch King'' was the strongest being the middle-aged man had ever heard of, capable of easily splitting mountains and rocks, a figure of immense power.


    "My luck isn''t too bad," Lin Yuan thought to himself, ncing at the middle-aged man.


    At least when the man found him, he hadn''t harbored any ill intentions.


    And ording to the information Lin Yuan had received from the Strongest One, Xia Qin, many strong beings who fell into this two-dimensional world were in dire situations.


    Some unlucky ones fell into the hands of ''cannibal tribes'' and were directly ced on a spit.


    It''s important to know that ninth, tenth, and eleventh-rank strong beings lose all their power and abilities when they fall into this world, rendered as powerless as ordinary people in this two-dimensional world.


    The only thing they retain is their memory.


    But memories alone are useless, especially when dealing with ''cannibal tribes'' where thenguage barrier leads to obvious consequences.


    Some strong beings who fell into cannibal tribes, unable to endure the humiliation, chose to self-destruct or erase their consciousness from this two-dimensional world.


    And that led to the discovery that ''the clone that dies in this two-dimensional world will result in a permanent loss of its source.''


    Besides those who fell into ''cannibal tribes,'' others ended up in the dens of fierce beasts, bing a feast for the beasts.


    Still, others fell into bustling cities, where local strong beings were intrigued and imprisoned them for slow study.


    From what Lin Yuan knew, a significant number of strong beings who fell into this two-dimensional world were in unfavorable situations.


    Of course, some were fortunate, such as those who were treated as ''divine beings'' fallen from the sky by certain tribes, or those who caught the attention of local strong beings.


    Lin Yuan''s situation wasn''t great, but it wasn''t bad either. At least he was satisfied.


    "Pa Duo, where''s the nearest gathering ce?" Lin Yuan asked the middle-aged man before him.


    Through their conversation, Lin Yuan learned that the man''s name was ''Pa Duo,'' and he made a living by fishing and hunting. After finding Lin Yuan, he had brought him back.


    "That direction," Pa Duo pointed to a certain spot. "But it''s best to go with a group; otherwise, if we encounter a fierce beast on the way, it could be fatal."


    There were other natives around Pa Duo''s dwelling, about a few dozen people in total.


    On this continent, fierce beasts were everywhere. Humans could only survive by banding together in this world.


    Of course, those strong gathering ces and cities could hunt fierce beasts with impunity, ensuring their safety.


    But living in such ces required a high price, one that someone like Pa Duo couldn''t even dream of affording.


    That night.


    Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.


    At this moment, every bone in his body was trembling, and ck impurities were continuously seeping out of his skin.


    As a tenth-rank evolver, even in this two-dimensional world, he could undergo a transformation simr to ''cleansing the tendons and washing the marrow'' through his control over his body.


    "Now, at least, I have the power to protect myself."


    Lin Yuan let out a small sigh of relief. The most dangerous time for strong beings from the main universe who fell into this two-dimensional world was the first three days.


    The first two days were spent in a state of slumber, and the third day was spent adapting.


    Once these three days were over, they could gradually regain some ability to protect themselves based on their own capabilities.


    "My physical body now is probably equivalent to a ''Witch'' in this world," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Cultivation in this two-dimensional world was extremely simple; it was all about constantly strengthening the physical body, from weak to strong, progressing through the stages of Witch, Witch King, Witch Emperor, and Witch Sovereign.


    It was said that above the Witch Sovereign, there was a being known as the Witch Ancestor, but such beings were extremely rare. Each time one appeared, all the living beings on the continent would worship them.


    Based on the information Lin Yuan had gathered from Pa Duo and other natives, a Witch Ancestor was born only once every several thousand to ten thousand years in this world.


    "A Witch Ancestor?"


    "That''s just someone who has pushed their physical body to its limit."


    "Even an eighth-rank life form could easily achieve that with enough time."


    Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. It was easy to predict that as time passed and the strong beings from the main universe gradually adapted, this continent would give rise to a group of extremely terrifying strong beings.


    "A Witch Ancestor is just the beginning," Lin Yuan thought calmly.


    A level that even eighth-rank beings could easily reach, let alone ninth, tenth, or even eleventh-rank beings.


    In the days that followed.


    Lin Yuan rested during the day and secretly left at night to hunt those terrifying fierce beasts.


    After his body underwent its first transformation, Lin Yuan realized that to continue unlocking his physical potential, he needed to consume enough energy.


    And where would that energye from? The power of heaven and earth?


    In this two-dimensional world, there was no concept of the power of heaven and earth.


    All energy absorption had to be done in the most primitive way.


    That is, by devouring other powerful fierce beasts.


    Boom!


    A giant elephant, ten meters tall, fell to the ground. Lin Yuan sat cross-legged in front of it, taking the most vital part of its flesh and blood and eating it raw.


    Whoosh.


    Arge amount of blood and energy surged into his body, quickly absorbed and refined by Lin Yuan, slowly increasing his physical strength.


    Time passed.


    In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had gone by.


    "Witch King."


    Lin Yuan''s body underwent a second transformation.


    His strength and speed both saw a substantial increase, far surpassing that of a ''Witch.''


    Based on the limited information from Pa Duo and others, Lin Yuan had now be a Witch King.


    A Witch King-level strong being could already dominate an area. The strongest individuals in ordinary gathering ces were at most Witch Kings.


    Even in a city-level force, a Witch King was considered a high-ranking figure, standing at the top of the hierarchy.


    "Huff, huff." Lin Yuan took a deep breath. The price of bing a Witch King was that every fierce beast within ten thousand miles,rger than ten meters, had been hunted and eaten by him.


    As for those smaller than ten meters? They didn''t contain enough blood energy for Lin Yuan to bother with, and he also needed to leave some for Pa Duo and the others.


    If all the fierce beasts in the area were wiped out, Pa Duo and the other natives would likely have to migrate elsewhere to survive.


    And on this continent, migration was extremely dangerous.


    "But tomorrow, we can head to the nearest gathering ce," Lin Yuan thought to himself.


    Every two months, Pa Duo and the others would team up to visit the gathering ce to trade the materials they had gathered.


    Main Universe.


    Virtual World.


    While more than half a month had passed in the two-dimensional world, only about an hour had passed in the main universe.


    Personal Space.


    Lin Yuan and Deputy Tower Master Nn sat across from each other.


    When the white paper descended, one of Deputy Tower Master Nn''s clones was also on the A098 battlefield.


    So, naturally, it was also drawn into the two-dimensional world inside the white paper.


    However, Deputy Tower Master Nn had better luck than Lin Yuan,nding in a city and being discovered by the city lord''s daughter.


    The city lord''s daughter immediately took Deputy Tower Master Nn back for treatment.


    "Here are the cultivation methods I''ve collected from that two-dimensional world. Take a look," Deputy Tower Master Nn immediately handed over several dozen cultivation methods to Lin Yuan.


    Because Deputy Tower Master Nn had been favored by the city lord''s daughter, he had ess to high-level resources, especially cultivation methods. In that two-dimensional world, cultivation methods were nearly monopolized, and ordinary people had to pay a high price to ess them.


    "Thank you."


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    Through these cultivation methods, Lin Yuan could directly observe the essence of power in that world.


    When Lin Yuan established the martial evolution system, he had studied numerous other evolution systems, as well as cultivation systems from other dimensional worlds.


    Therefore¡ª


    Studying the cultivation methods of the two-dimensional world would greatly benefit Lin Yuan.


    "By the way, I heard some news," Deputy Tower Master Nn suddenly whispered.


    "What news?" Lin Yuan asked immediately.


    "The Heavenly Gate," Deputy Tower Master Nn said briefly.


    "The Heavenly Gate?" Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.


    "ording to the records in the city where I''m staying, every ten thousand years, the Heavenly Gate manifests in the world. At that time, only Witch Emperor and Witch Ancestor-level strong beings can approach the ''Heavenly Gate.''"


    "And in the end, only one person can reach the front of the Heavenly Gate."


    "If you can push open the ''Heavenly Gate,'' you will leave this world and enter a higher-level world."


    Deputy Tower Master Nn''s tone was serious.


    Although he couldn''t be certain that opening the Heavenly Gate would mean returning to the main universe, it was the only method he had found so far that clearly mentioned leaving this world.

 Chapter 373

    "Only one person can reach the ''Heavenly Gate''?" Lin Yuan asked.


    "That''s correct," Deputy Tower Master Nn confirmed with a nod.


    ording to the information he had gathered, every time the Heavenly Gate opens, it marks the bloodiest and most violent period on the entire continent.


    During this time, even Witch Emperor-level beings fall like rain, as everyone desires to enter the Heavenly Gate.


    As for the Witch Ancestor? Not every era produces a Witch Ancestor.


    However, if there is a Witch Ancestor alive during the time when the Heavenly Gate opens, there is no doubt that the one who will ultimately stand before the gate will be the Witch Ancestor.


    Before the many strong beings from the main universe descended into this two-dimensional world, the Witch Ancestor was the most powerful being on the continent.


    "When was thest time the Heavenly Gate opened?" Lin Yuan immediately inquired.


    "Nine thousand eight hundred years ago," Deputy Tower Master Nn replied. When he first heard about the ''Heavenly Gate,'' he had paid close attention to this information and had already thoroughly investigated it."So, the next time the Heavenly Gate opens will be in three hundred years?" Lin Yuan frowned.


    This was not good news.


    If there were no other strong beings from the main universe, Lin Yuan was confident that he would be the one to stand before the Heavenly Gate.


    But in reality, in this two-dimensional world, there were more than three hundred eleventh-rank beings from the main universe alone.


    Eleventh-rank beings have extremely fast ''thought processing'' speeds, and even if their insight isn''t as great as Lin Yuan''s, given only three hundred years, Lin Yuan wasn''t certain he could outss all the eleventh-rank beings.


    Especially those who had reached the sixth tier of eleventh-rank pinnacle life, beings on the verge of bing ultimate beings¡ªthey were already perfect in every aspect.


    Insight is an ability that gives a greater advantage the more time one has.


    Judging by the time the Heavenly Gate is expected to open, the next time after that will be in ten thousand three hundred years.


    In the two-dimensional world, without the ability toprehend rules or open up an internal world, lifespan is very limited.


    Lin Yuan was not confident that he couldst ten thousand three hundred years.


    And if he died in the two-dimensional world, whether by being killed or dying of old age, it would result in a fundamental loss.


    "Does the Strongest One know about this?" Lin Yuan asked immediately.


    "I''ve already informed the Strongest One," Deputy Tower Master Nn nodded.


    The matter of the Heavenly Gate wasn''t exactly a secret, and even if Deputy Tower Master Nn hadn''t mentioned it, Lin Yuan would have learned about it soon enough.


    "The Strongest One''s advice is to do our best," Deputy Tower Master Nn said.


    Lin Yuan remained silent.


    In just a few words, he could sense a certain brutalpetition.


    The opponents of human civilization''s evolvers were actually those special life forms.


    Especially those eleventh-rank pinnacle beings who had reached the sixth tier. As special life forms, they were terrifyingly gifted and talented, making it difficult for others topete with them under the same starting conditions.


    Inside the world of the white paper.


    Lin Yuan''s mind recalled the cultivation methods that Deputy Tower Master Nn had provided.


    "There are thirteen sets of cultivation methods in total, with six of them having the potential to be cultivated to the Witch Emperor level, while the remaining seven can be cultivated to the Witch King level."


    Lin Yuan carefully read through them.


    Although he had already reached the Witch King level using a cultivation method he had temporarily created with his Unrivaled Insight based on his body''s needs,pared to these methods, which had been passed down for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, his method inevitably had some shorings.


    It wasn''t that Lin Yuan''s temporarily created method was inferior to these ancient ones, but that itcked the thorough consideration of finer details.


    As he read through the thirteen cultivation methods, Lin Yuan''s body began to tremble slightly, making slight adjustments based on these methods.


    "Witch King-level beings can split mountains and rocks, Witch Emperor-level beings can punch through mountain ranges, and Witch Sovereign-level beings can tear apart hundreds of miles ofnd with a single step. As for Witch Ancestor-level beings, there are no clear records."


    "This is because Witch Ancestor-level beings have never fought with their full strength."


    Lin Yuan pondered the cultivation system of this world as he continued to study the methods.


    "I wonder how those eleventh-rank beings are doing now?"


    Lin Yuan looked off into the distance, lost in thought.


    In a primeval forest.


    A three-meter-tall figure stood on the treetops, emitting an aura that made the fierce beasts within a radius of dozens of miles tremble.


    "I''ve finally cultivated to the Witch King level," the three-meter-tall figure said coldly. "I am a mighty eleventh-rank ancient god, destined to be an ultimate being in the future."


    "If this clone were to die here, causing a fundamental loss in my spiritual will, the time to reach the ultimate rank would be indefinitely dyed."


    The three-meter-tall figure couldn''t ept such a consequence. "Three hundred years until the Heavenly Gate opens? Only one person can stand before the gate and leave this world?"


    The figure narrowed its eyes slightly.


    "Three hundred years. For the next three hundred years, I will immerse myself in this world and do everything possible to maximize my strength."


    In the next instant, the three-meter-tall figure disappeared into the distance.


    In an ordinary gathering ce.


    The ancient god Tuoba disguised himself as an ordinary human, walking through the streets.


    "I should never have agreed to the Insect Race''s request," Tuoba Ancient God thought regretfully.


    Ever since he had offended the Milky Way Star Lord, his luck had turned sour. First, he hadpletely opposed human civilization.


    And now, he had fallen into this two-dimensional world.


    If it weren''t for considering his escape route, how could he have agreed to the Insect Race''s invitation toe to the battlefield? If he hadn''t been on the battlefield, he wouldn''t have been sucked into this two-dimensional world.


    "But there''s no point in regretting now."


    "The most important thing now is to increase my strength as much as possible before the Heavenly Gate opens in three hundred years," Tuoba Ancient God thought to himself, steadying his resolve.


    Originally, he had nned to attempt the ultimate breakthrough within ten million years, but if he perished in this two-dimensional world, causing a decline in his spiritual will, there would be no hope of seeding.


    "I''m just one step away from advancing to the Witch Emperor level," a four-armed man stood on a calm sea, his aura spreading like a deep abyss in all directions.


    "Even the Strongest One would have difficulty killing me. There''s no way I''ll perish in this two-dimensional world," the four-armed man thought with bright eyes. He was a powerful special life form,parable to the ''Mother of the Tree Realm.''


    Long ago, he had met all the requirements for the ultimate breakthrough. If it weren''t for the fear of failure, he would have already attempted it.


    "This two-dimensional world might not be a bad thing for me. If I can sessfully leave, I have a feeling that my state of mind will improve significantly."


    The four-armed man thought silently to himself.


    Even he felt a certain pressure at this moment, which was a rare urrence.


    Luo Chuan Gathering ce.


    Lin Yuan and Pa Duo entered thisrge gathering ce.


    As far as Lin Yuan could see, there were many peopleing and going, some even emitting the aura of a Witch.


    However, Witch Kings were still rare. At least for now, apart from sensing a Witch King lurking in the depths of the gathering ce, Lin Yuan hadn''t encountered another Witch King.


    "Pa Duo, I need to leave for a while," Lin Yuan said as he bid farewell to Pa Duo.


    He didn''t n to return aftering here this time.


    Settling down in the gathering ce had many advantages for Lin Yuan, especially in terms of acquiring various cultivation resources, which were easy to obtain here.


    Moreover, in such gathering ces, information was often very well-connected, something Lin Yuan desperately needed.


    As for the cost of settling down? Now that Lin Yuan was a Witch King, it was no problem at all.


    "Alright," Pa Duo nodded.


    They hade here to trade for resources and buy some daily necessities.


    After parting ways with Pa Duo.


    Lin Yuan quickly made his way to a shop.


    "Sir," a charming woman greeted him.


    Although Lin Yuan was dressed inly, his aura was something that could not be ignored.


    "I''d like to sell something," Lin Yuan said calmly.


    "Sir, our shop offers very fair prices. Please feel free to sell your items," the charming woman immediately replied.


    "Okay," Lin Yuan nodded, then took out a piece of soft white fur.


    "This is?" The woman''s expression changed slightly. "White Sky Fox fur? And it''s from the most valuable part?"


    The woman was shocked.


    The White Sky Fox was a Witch-level fierce beast, extremely fast, and even Witch Kings found it difficult to capture, let alone catch alive and skin.


    White Sky Fox fur was very popr inrge cities, not only because it was warm and soft but also because it had nourishing effects for women.


    "How much is it worth?" Lin Yuan asked directly.


    "Sir, I can''t make that decision. I''ll go get the shopkeeper," the woman replied cautiously.


    "Go ahead," Lin Yuan said calmly. Ordinary Witch Kings couldn''t capture a White Sky Fox, but Lin Yuan was no ordinary Witch King.


    It wasn''t long before a bearded man hurried over.


    "Sir."


    "For this White Sky Fox fur, our shop is willing to offer three thousand Witch Crystals," the bearded man said after some thought.


    "That''s eptable," Lin Yuan nodded.


    Three thousand Witch Crystals was a considerable amount of wealth, and it matched the normal market price for White Sky Fox fur.


    The transaction was quicklypleted.


    The bearded man watched Lin Yuan leave.


    "Shopkeeper, why didn''t you negotiate the price down a bit?" the charming woman asked, puzzled.


    She could tell that Lin Yuan was eager to sell the White Sky Fox fur, so lowering the price should have been a priority.


    "Negotiate the price?" The bearded shopkeeper nced at the woman. "Do you think you can haggle with a Witch King capable of capturing a White Sky Fox?"


    "Witch King?" The woman was shocked.


    That young man was a Witch King? The strongest person in Luo Chuan Gathering ce was only a Witch King.


    "I don''t know for sure," the bearded shopkeeper shook his head, "but since he could bring in White Sky Fox fur, I treated him as a Witch King."


    After leaving the shop.


    Lin Yuan visited several other shops.


    He sold off most of the spoils from his hunts during this period, gaining a total of twenty-three thousand Witch Crystals.


    "Pa Duo, I''m noting back."


    "If you ever need anything, you can find me at this ce anytime," Lin Yuan said, meeting Pa Duo onest time.


    After saying his goodbyes, Lin Yuan went to the residence he had purchased.


    It was an estate that had cost him over twenty thousand Witch Crystals.


    Owning property was one of the conditions for settling in a gathering ce.


    "Now it''s time to focus on cultivation," Lin Yuan thought, determined to make the most of every moment. He knew very well that once the timing of the Heavenly Gate''s opening became known, every strong being from the main universe who had descended into this two-dimensional world would stop at nothing to enhance their strength.


    If the Heavenly Gate were to open in two thousand years, Lin Yuan was confident he could sweep aside all the strong beings from the main universe.


    But with only three hundred years... time was too short.


    Soon, twenty years passed in the blink of an eye.
