Chapter 170: Ascension Platform (Seeking Subscriptions)
[Name: Jun WujI (Lin Yuan)]
[Identity: Overseer of the Gates of the Myriad Realms]
[Bound Talent: Heaven-Defying Insight]
[Divine Ability: Blood-Drop Rebirth]
[Current Status: Consciousness Descended]
[Remaining Residency Time: Two Hundred and Twenty Years]
White Jade Island's Core Cave Mansion.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, a terrifying aura spread through the void like ripples on a calm water surface, extending in all directions.
"This world."
Lin Yuan opened his eyes, looking towards the direction of Moral Immortal Sect in the Central Divine Continent.
With his current spatial perception, even if the distance was far, he could sense that, in the depths of Moral Immortal Sect, space seemed to have been torn open, revealing a sense of incompleteness.
It was like a blank piece of paper suddenly having a black dot, making it exceptionally 'prominent' in Lin Yuan's vision.
"Is that the 'Ascension Platform' controlled by Moral Immortal Sect?"
Lin Yuan looked contemplative.
Compared to the final spatial crack in the Divine Realm, the spatial channel connected by this Ascension Platform seemed much more orderly and stable.
It was similar to the crystal magic array that Senior Brother used sixty years ago to directly reach the Red Kun Main Star when Lin Yuan just broke through the Sixth Stage. Lin Yuan sat in the East Sea, carefully observing the Ascension Platform far in the Moral Immortal Sect, then shifted his gaze away.
For Lin Yuan now, the Ascension Platform held no secrets, merely a stable spatial channel leading to a certain world.
Of course, even if it's stable, it was still filled with a certain spatial oppression. At least, one had to be at the Sixth Stage or the level of a Refining Virtual Ancient Saint to pass through.
"Two hundred and eighty years."
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged. It had been almost three hundred years since he descended to this world. With only a little less than half the remaining residency time of five hundred years.
"Sixty years ago, I entered the Sixth Stage, Level Twelve. Fifty years ago, I reached the peak of the Sixth Stage, Level Twelve. Just now, I even reluctantly took a half-step beyond the Sixth Stage, Level Twelve. But the Seventh Stage, I still haven't figured it out."
In a hundred years, apart from Moral Immortal Sect's Moral Immortal Scripture, Lin Yuan comprehended all the techniques and secrets of this world. He condensed their essence as nourishment, filling the path of martial arts evolution.
But Lin Yuan understood that he was still a bit short of truly opening the Seventh Stage of the martial arts evolution path for himself.
Although there were many Seventh Stage paths for inspiration, Lin Yuan wanted the Seventh Stage section he opened up for the martial arts evolution path to be unique and perfectly suited to him.
"The Seventh Stage."
Lin Yuan pondered.
In this world's immortal path cultivation system, the corresponding realm for the Seventh Stage was the Harmony Dao Realm.
What was the Harmony Dao Realm? It meant being in harmony with the Dao, I am the Dao, and the Dao is me.
The Harmony Dao Realm was also called 'True Immortal,' which was truly the realm of immortals.
"Harmony Dao?"
"If I could watch the Moral Immortal Scripture, maybe it would help with my Seventh Stage section?"
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
It had to be said that the immortal cultivation system did have its merits. The further you went, the more terrifying the powers the true immortals wielded.
"Unfortunately, the end of this cultivation system should have been occupied by someone."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
This world's cultivation system was prevalent, and coincidentally, a teleportation platform that was also suitable for the immortal cultivation system, connecting to the spirit realm, appeared?
How could such a coincidence happen?
In the Dragon and Tiger World, there were powerful beings from the upper realms making arrangements, leaving behind the True Martial Sword and the original demonic spirits.
And in this world, Lin Yuan still felt traces of higher-level intervention.
"It's just that the two realms are separated. Even the strongest cannot cross freely; there will be heavy restrictions, at most, descending with some means."
Lin Yuan increasingly felt the terror of the 'Gates of the Myriad Realms,' this means of ignoring space and even time, forcibly projecting oneself into a certain world, was truly inconceivable.
You should know that the Gates of the Myriad Realms can not only bring down consciousness but also allow physical traversal. With enough boundary-breaking source power, it can even accurately lock onto a specific world for traversal.
After some contemplation, Lin Yuan stood up and walked out of the cave mansion. His strength and realm had reached a certain limit. Even if he continued to seclude himself for decades or even a hundred years, there might not necessarily be significant gains.
It's not that his Heaven-Defying Insight is inadequate. If Lin Yuan didn't care about the potential of the Seventh Stage, he could have already opened up the Seventh Stage path. However, there are differences between Seventh Stages.
Some Seventh Stage evolution paths have the potential to advance to the Ninth Stage evolution path, while for some, advancing to the Eighth Stage is impossible.
White Jade Island was surrounded by spiritual energy, layers of array light protecting the entire island. "Wuji."
Jun Dongjin, Mu Linger, Jun Xiaoyao, Jun Zhilan, and others greeted Lin Yuan as he walked out. The disturbance caused by Lin Yuan's breakthrough just now was not small; practitioners with some strength across the entire world felt it.
"Parents."
Lin Yuan went over. "How is the situation on the island now?"
Lin Yuan casually asked. Most of his time was spent in seclusion, so he entrusted the matters of White Jade Pavilion mostly to his disciples, as well as his parents and eldest brother and sister.
However, Jun Dongjin and Mu Linger were not too willing to intervene in White Jade Pavilion, but Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhilan were somewhat interested.
"Master."
Li Qing stepped forward. As Lin Yuan's disciple, she was mainly responsible for everything in White Jade Pavilion, even assisting Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhilan. "Currently, in White Jade Pavilion, there are 16 million first-stage martial disciples, 890,000 second-stage martial disciples, 11,000 third-stage martial disciples, 2,421 fourth-stage martial disciples, and 24 fifth-stage martial disciples."
Li Qing paused for a moment and whispered, "No disciples have reached the sixth stage of martial arts yet."
"Correct."
Lin Yuan nodded slightly. The martial arts evolution path had only been spreading for over two hundred years, and having so many cultivators born was already considered rapid development.
In fact, the fastest development time for the martial arts evolution path was in the past hundred years. A hundred years ago, Lin Yuan attacked the gates of the Moral Immortal Sect with absolute dominance. Although he didn't break through the Moral Immortal Mountain in the end, the invincible momentum was well-known.
So, the martial arts evolution path Lin Yuan spread naturally attracted countless people, especially those in the Eastern Sea Islands who were eager to join White Jade Pavilion.
"Martial arts sixth stage."
Even with Lin Yuan's guidance, there hasn't been a Martial Dao Sixth Stage cultivator born in White Jade Pavilion until now.
Lin Yuan is not surprised by this.
The Martial Dao Sixth Stage corresponds to the Refinement Ancient Sage. Even in the main world, advancing from the fifth stage to the sixth stage is a significant threshold.
Evolution at the sixth stage transforms the essence of life, allowing one to imprint their life mark into the cosmic void. In this world, the Refinement Ancient Sages serve as the ceiling for combat power. Even in the Moral Immortal Sect, which is formidable, there is usually only one Ancient Sage present.
If it weren't for Lin Yuan's enlightenment in the main world, breaking the limitations of the Martial Dao Evolution Path, making it inclusive of everything, there might not be many cultivators even at the Martial Dao Fourth or Fifth Stage.
Not everyone has innate talent in the aspects of Taiyin, Taiyang, and Taiji.
"Next, I'm going to leave for a while," Lin Yuan said after chatting with his family and disciples.
"Leave?" Mu Linger speculated and asked, "Wuji, are you planning to go to the Moral Immortal Mountain?"
A hundred years ago, Lin Yuan didn't forcefully attack the Moral Immortal Mountain. Now, after several breakthroughs, his purpose in leaving White Jade Island is self-evident.
"Yes," Lin Yuan nodded.
The Moral Immortal Mountain is indeed one of his objectives.
"Wuji." Mu Linger sighed, hesitated, then said nothing.
"Mother, don't worry. I handle things with discretion," Lin Yuan reassured.
This time, he was heading to the Moral Immortal Sect with the intention of "negotiation." Of course, the only qualified negotiators would be the ancestors of the Moral Immortal Sect in the Spirit Realm.
Outside White Jade Island, Lin Yuan's figure appeared.
"Moral Immortal Sect," Lin Yuan glanced in the direction of the Central Divine Continent.
Before heading to the Moral Immortal Sect, Lin Yuan had one more thing to do.
That was the White Jade Island beneath his feet.
To be precise, it was the bottom of the deep sea below White Jade Island.
White Jade Island's location is not fixed; every two thousand years, it sinks into the bottom of the deep sea and resurfaces two thousand years later.
Now, White Jade Island has become a sacred place for martial cultivators. Even if the center of the martial arts system shifts to the Central Divine Continent in the future, the position of White Jade Island is irreplaceable.
Just like the mother star, the progenitor star, symbolically significant for the Human Civilization Alliance in the main world.
In this situation, if White Jade Island continues to follow the pattern of sinking and floating every two thousand years, it would be somewhat inappropriate.
At the bottom of the deep sea, it's almost completely dark.
Terrifying water pressure comes from all directions.
Even Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation stage cultivators would not dare to stay in this environment for an extended period.
What's more,
In the depths of the sea, the most terrifying aspect isn't the extreme environment, but the ancient monstrous beasts that have existed for hundreds of thousands of years.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan followed beneath White Jade Island to the deep sea.
"This is a deep-sea eye. Every two thousand years, when the seawater circulates, a huge suction force is generated, devouring a large amount of seawater and sending it to the other end of the East Sea. It repeats every two thousand years," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
And White Jade Island is located above the eye of the sea. When the suction force occurs, it will uncontrollably sink until it reaches the bottom of the deep sea. The plugged sea eye stops it. When the suction force disappears, White Jade Island naturally floats up again.
"Resisting this suction force isn't difficult. Simply sealing this sea eye would suffice. Even Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation stage Tianjuns can do it, let alone Refinement Ancient Sages."
"However," Lin Yuan glanced around.
With his perception, he naturally sensed many terrifying deep-sea behemoths nearby.
If he were to seal this sea eye, it would definitely alert those deep-sea behemoths. These creatures are enormous in size, and coupled with being in their home territory, even a Refinement Ancient Sage would probably only be able to escape in embarrassment if surrounded by a group of deep-sea behemoths.
However, these concerns mean little to Lin Yuan.
"Seal."
Lin Yuan looked at the deep-sea eye, his thoughts gently moving, and a stream of breath surged out, beginning to seal the enormous sea eye.
Hum.
Many deep-sea behemoths in the distance sensed the movement here.
They immediately swam towards this location.
In the next moment, these deep-sea behemoths, as if sensing something, fled at a speed ten times or even dozens of times faster than when they were roaming.
"Quite intelligent," Lin Yuan glanced at those deep-sea behemoths fleeing frantically. He intentionally leaked a bit of his aura just now, almost frightening those deep-sea behemoths out of their wits.
Although deep-sea behemoths have low intelligence, they aren't fools. Faced with an aura far beyond their own, who would dare to approach?
An hour later,
Lin Yuan completely sealed the eye of the deep sea.
Then, he left the seabed and headed towards the direction of the Central Divine Continent.
Moral Immortal Mountain.
Lin Yuan's figure appeared silently.
A hundred years have passed, and there haven't been any significant changes in Moral Immortal Mountain.
However, the disciples of the sect have noticeably kept a lower profile. Unless there is something important, they almost never leave Moral Immortal Mountain.
"You two stay outside."
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, and with a subtle thought, the Yin and Yang Spirits emerged and stood on both sides.
Although with Lin Yuan's current strength, even if the Moral Immortal Sect did summon the ancestors from the Spirit Realm, it probably wouldn't pose any threat to him.
However, one should be cautious. Lin Yuan still intended to keep the Yin and Yang Spirits outside just in case.
The original Lin Yuan and the Yin and Yang Spirits form a trinity. As long as one of them remains, even if the other two perish, it does not count as death and they can be reborn.
Taiyin gives birth to Taiyang, or Taiyang gives birth to Taiyin. Finally, Taiji gives birth to all things, where "all things" refers to Lin Yuan's physical body.
"Leave a drop of blood outside."
Lin Yuan raised his right hand, and a drop of crimson blood appeared, falling into the Yang Spirit.
Even though Taiyin and Taiyang merge into Taiji, and Taiji then gives rise to the physical body, this process takes a considerable amount of time and consumes some primordial essence. Using a drop of blood as a substitute is much more efficient.
Lin Yuan's mastered fleshly divine ability—Blood Rebirth. With just a drop of blood, rapid rebirth is possible; this is the power of divine ability.
"Now it's about right."
Lin Yuan looked at the arrangement he left behind, a smile appearing on his face.
With this backup plan, even in the most unlikely scenario, he could recover at the fastest speed.
"Moral Immortal Sect."
Lin Yuan turned his head, looking towards the nearby Immortal Mountain.
Numerous protective sect arrays flashed through Lin Yuan's eyes.
If this were a hundred years ago, facing these protective arrays, Lin Yuan might have forcibly broken through many of them.
But after a hundred years, Lin Yuan not only cultivated but also, with his exceptional understanding, thoroughly grasped and comprehended all the protective arrays of the Moral Immortal Sect.
A hundred years ago, the original Lin Yuan and the Yin and Yang Spirits collaborated to deliver a blow, intending to observe the operation of these arrays.
Under the tremendous pressure caused by Lin Yuan's intervention, many protective sect arrays of the Moral Immortal Sect were overloaded. This allowed Lin Yuan to see some of the essence of these protective sect arrays.
With his exceptional understanding, Lin Yuan had thoroughly comprehended the essence of these arrays associated with the Moral Immortal Sect. After a hundred years, he has become the top-notch array master in the Central Divine Continent.
Especially for the various protective sect arrays of the Moral Immortal Sect, he knew them like the back of his hand, allowing him to easily enter and exit.
Chapter 171: The 'Coordinates' in the Spirit Realm (Will return tomorrow, seeking subscriptions)
Moral Immortal Mountain.
At the highest hall.
Mu Qingliu and Mu Mengting had heavy expressions.
Not long ago, the aura that came from the East China Sea made them somewhat uneasy.
If, in the past, Mu Qingliu had great confidence in the sect's protective arrays, thinking that no one could break in, after the scene a hundred years ago when Jun Wuji was like a true immortal, shaking the Moral Immortal Mountain, Mu Qingliu no longer had such great confidence.
At that time, he realized that Moral Immortal Mountain could be continuously shaken by others?
In the past hundred years, he had felt the breaking through aura from the East China Sea at least three times.
Mu Qingliu was even more uneasy.
A hundred years ago, Jun Wuji almost broke through Moral Immortal Mountain. Now, after another hundred years, if the other side continues to attack the Moral Immortal Sect, can Moral Immortal Mountain still hold?
Mu Qingliu's expression was heavy.
He already had an answer in his heart.
It couldn't hold.
Even a hundred years ago, if Jun Wuji had been willing to stay and suppress Moral Immortal Mountain, with the power of his original body and two avatars, he could completely slowly dissolve the sect's protective arrays over the course of several hundred years. After a few hundred years, the protective arrays of Moral Immortal Mountain might even break on their own without the need for an attack.
"Master."
"How did the ancestors in the Spirit Realm respond?"
Mu Mengting was equally uneasy. Compared to Mu Qingliu, he felt even greater pressure. Who didn't know that he and Jun Dongjin were competitors?
He even secretly sent people to carry symbols of the Refinement Void Stage, wanting to kill Jun Dongjin?
Now that Jun Dongjin's son has such great ability, once Moral Immortal Mountain is breached, will he have a good end?
"I have already talked to the ancestor."
"The ancestor said that if Jun Wuji attacks the mountain next time, we can contact him anytime."
Mu Qingliu whispered.
A hundred years ago, when he witnessed Jun Wuji's threatening power to the Moral Immortal Sect, he had already contacted the ancestors in the Spirit Realm.
At that time, the ancestor responded like this.
In recent decades, every time Lin Yuan broke through, he would contact the ancestor in the Spirit Realm, and each time he received the same reply.
"That's good."
Mu Mengting breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, the only ones who can give him a sense of security are the lofty ancestors in the Spirit Realm.
Speaking of which, Mu Mengting was quite bitter.
Each generation of Moral Immortal Sect's Refinement Void Saints has overlooked the world and held control over everything.
Even the previous generation Sect Master was still alive, and the newly born Refinement Void Saints also had many honors, overshadowing all directions.
But he...
Just after breaking through to the Refinement Void Stage and becoming a Refinement Void Saint, he attracted the darkest period that Moral Immortal Sect had experienced in tens of thousands of years.
Almost lost his own mountain gate, all sect disciples were trembling, and this Refinement Void Saint dared not go out, afraid of being seized upon and killed by Jun Wuji.
"With the ancestors in the Spirit Realm, Jun Wuji..."
Just as Mu Mengting was about to say a few harsh words, suddenly, a voice came.
"What about me?"
As soon as this statement came out, Mu Mengting was stunned, as if trying to figure out who said this.
But in the next moment, Mu Mengting trembled all over.
Because when he turned his head, he saw a figure that appeared on the seat on the side of the hall at some point.
This figure had a calm expression, without the slightest aura of a powerful being. However, just standing there made Mu Mengting, this Refinement Void Saint, almost breathless.
Jun Wuji.
It was Jun Wuji.
How did he come in?
How did he appear here?
Many thoughts flashed through Mu Mengting's mind.
At this moment, he was extremely puzzled. Clearly, there was no warning or breach in the protective array outside, so how could Jun Wuji just come in?
"Jun Wuji?"
Mu Qingliu also saw Jun Wuji.
At this moment, his face turned slightly pale.
However, regardless of how uneasy Mu Qingliu and Mu Mengting were in their hearts, they did not think about running.
What a joke.
Run?
Where could they run to?
This is the safest place in the Moral Immortal Sect.
Even Jun Wuji could silently enter here.
Equivalent to between heaven and earth, there was nothing to stop Jun Wuji.
"All right."
"Let's do the right thing."
Lin Yuan looked at Mu Qingliu, "Take me to the Ascension Platform."
In this realm, the Sect Master of the Moral Immortal Sect has no say in the spread of martial arts. It mainly depends on the opinions of the moral immortal ancestors in the Spirit Realm.
This time, Lin Yuan came to the Moral Immortal Sect to negotiate.
"Okay."
Mu Qingliu remained silent for a moment and immediately agreed.
With Lin Yuan's strength, if he had murderous intentions the moment he appeared in the hall, none of them would survive.
Since that's the case.
Mu Qingliu knew what to do.
"Follow me."
Mu Qingliu looked deeply at Lin Yuan.
He looked at his former grandson.
"Master, the Ascension Platform is my..." Mu Mengting, seeing the situation, became somewhat anxious.
The Ascension Platform is the key to contacting the ancestors in the Spirit Realm, the last trump card of the Moral Immortal Sect. Is he really going to bring Jun Wuji there?
"Noisy."
Lin Yuan glanced at Mu Mengting.
In an instant.
Mu Mengting's gaze dimmed, and vitality faded away.
Dead.
"Mengting."
Seeing this, Mu Qingliu sighed inwardly.
Originally, Mu Mengting had a feud with the Jun family, and he had sent people to kill Jun Dongjin's entire family.
In this situation, if Mu Mengting had been more obedient and tried to keep a low profile, he might have survived.
But unfortunately...
Mu Qingliu didn't know what to say.
Didn't he see that everyone was cooperating so well, yet still thinking about saving the Ascension Platform?
In the deepest part of the Moral Immortal Sect.
In a hidden place.
Mu Qingliu stopped.
"This is the place where the Ascension Platform is located."
Mu Qingliu looked at Lin Yuan and said in a low voice.
"Open it."
Lin Yuan nodded.
This was consistent with the location where he felt the space rift being torn open.
Mu Qingliu was still sensible and didn't have any ulterior motives in this matter.
"Good."
Mu Qingliu had no idea.
If he had any other thoughts just now, he couldn't have hidden it from Lin Yuan.
At Lin Yuan's current level, space unfolded before him like paper, and any fluctuations could be clearly sensed.
With a whoosh.
Under Mu Qingliu's control.
The entrance to the secret realm in front gradually opened.
The internal space was revealed.
In the deepest part of the space.
A stone portal, only half a meter high, came into view.
"That's the Ascension Platform?"
Lin Yuan looked over.
This stone portal was faintly surrounded by spatial fluctuations, and the interior of the portal appeared 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 glow.
As if there were invisible ripples, sweeping towards the distant Ascension Platform.
After a moment.
A piece of information transmitted from the Gate of the Myriad Realms to Lin Yuan's mind.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan's spirit shook slightly.
He glanced at Mu Qingliu beside him.
He found that he hadn't noticed the changes just now at all.
It was as if the power emanating from the Gate of the Myriad Realms was in another dimension, imperceptible by anyone.
"The 'coordinates' of the Spirit Realm."
Lin Yuan rubbed his forehead. The information that came from the Gate of the Myriad Realms was indeed the 'coordinates' of the Spirit Realm.
At this moment.
Part of Lin Yuan's consciousness sank into his mind.
He looked at the magnificent and vast Gate of the Myriad Realms.
If one observed carefully, they would find that under the Gate of the Myriad Realms, close to the threshold, there were five marks.
These five marks were the coordinates of the Martial World, Dragon and Tiger World, Divine Weapon World, Five Regions World, and the current Immortal Dao World.
These five worlds were all worlds that Lin Yuan had traversed, so they were all locked in by the Gate of the Myriad Realms, capturing their world coordinates.
Because of this, with the world coordinates, Lin Yuan could spend ten strands of 'Breaking Realm Source Power' to descend into these worlds again.
But now.
After the coordinates of these five worlds.
The sixth set of coordinates reformed.
It was the world coordinates of the 'Spirit Realm.'
Although Lin Yuan had never descended into the Spirit Realm.
The Ascension Platform was connected to the Spirit Realm, and its interior undoubtedly contained the world coordinates of the Spirit Realm.
Just now, the power of the Gate of the Myriad Realms invisibly swept over the Ascension Platform, replicating its internal 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 spend ten strands of 'Breaking Realm Source Power' to descend again to the Spirit Realm.
Seeing Lin Yuan gazing at the Ascension Platform, Mu Qingliu, who was next to him, did not dare to urge. He could only continue to wait.
"Summon your sect's ancestors."
After patiently waiting for a while and confirming that there were no other world coordinates inside the Ascension Platform, Lin Yuan spoke.
"Ah?"
Mu Qingliu, upon hearing this, was slightly shocked.
He didn't expect Lin Yuan to be so calm, giving him time to summon the Spirit Realm ancestors.
"Alright."
Mu Qingliu hesitated for a moment but agreed.
After all, this was all arranged by Lin Yuan, and no matter what happened later, it had nothing to do with him.
Mu Qingliu entered the secret realm and approached the Ascension Platform with a respectful attitude. He performed a certain secret technique, and his lips moved as if saying something.
After a moment.
The Ascension Platform began to glow.
Space fluctuations intensified, as if a terrifying force pierced through the two realms, descending along the fixed spatial channel.
In front of the Ascension Platform.
A figure of a Taoist priest, dressed in Daoist robes, slowly condensed.
"I am Cangqing Immortal. Is it me you wish to see?"
The Taoist priest looked at Lin Yuan, smiling.
"A projection of a True Immortal in the Harmonization Period?"
Lin Yuan observed as well.
The Spirit Realm and the Central Divine Continent were separated by two realms. Powerful beings from the upper realm could not descend in their true form. They could only send a projection.
Moreover, this projection couldn't stray too far from the Ascension Platform; otherwise, it might lose contact with the upper realm and collapse.
"Hmm?"
Cangqing Immortal looked at Lin Yuan, and the more he looked, the more shocked he became.
Mu Qingliu had long informed him of various information about Lin Yuan.
For instance, Lin Yuan had surpassed the peak of Refinement for several hundred years and simultaneously created a cultivation system comparable to the Immortal Dao.
Cangqing Immortal had also shared this information with the other ancestors of the Moral Dao Sect.
All the ancestors unanimously believed that Lin Yuan must have been possessed by a powerful being tens of thousands of years ago.
Otherwise.
In the Central Divine Continent, without relying on the cultivation of the Moral Dao Sect, reaching such a level on his own was almost impossible.
Especially the martial cultivation system, with such concepts and potential, not inferior to the Immortal Dao cultivation system. How could it be created within a few hundred years?
Certainly, it must be those powerful beings who reincarnated, lived through countless ages, gained this martial cultivation system, and now began spreading it, causing various movements in the Central Divine Continent.
This was the 'truth' speculated by the ancestors of the Spirit Realm's Immortal Sects.
The reason Cangqing Immortal descended with a projection this time was that among the ancestors of the Moral Dao Sect throughout history, Cangqing Immortal had lived the longest and knew the most old monsters. Perhaps he could figure out Lin Yuan's origin and which powerful being possessed him.
As long as the origin of Lin Yuan was known, everything would be easy.
However, now.
Cangqing Immortal was somewhat dumbfounded.
Because according to his observation.
Lin Yuan's soul and body were perfectly integrated.
It didn't look like he had been possessed. It should be noted that even if a True Immortal in the Harmonization Period possessed someone, there would be subtle rejection due to the different sources of the soul and body.
By relying on this rejection, it was easy to discover the identity of the possessor.
But now.
There was no such rejection on Lin Yuan.
There were two possibilities.
One was that the projection he descended with was too weak to perceive the rejection caused by possession.
The second was that Lin Yuan was not possessed.
Cangqing Immortal thought the former was unlikely.
Even if the projection he descended with was weak, it was still a projection of a True Immortal in the Harmonization Period. With his vision, he could naturally see that Lin Yuan had not entered the Harmonization Period.
Given the disparity in realms, Cangqing Immortal did not think he would fail to notice the rejection caused by possession.
Since the first possibility was ruled out.
The second possibility remained.
Lin Yuan had reached this point, growing into the strongest in this realm over several hundred years and establishing a cultivation system not inferior to the Immortal Dao.
Completely relying on himself.
"I didn't expect such a monstrous talent to be born in this barren lower realm."
Cangqing Immortal silently looked at Lin Yuan, "Even in the Spirit Realm, such aptitude can only be achieved by the core disciples of those Immortal King-level forces. He has even established a cultivation system different from the Immortal Dao, such potential."
Cangqing Immortal's thoughts surged.
There was no doubt.
Lin Yuan's potential was definitely the most abnormal one he had ever seen. Even those descendants of Immortal Kings, or even the youthful period of some Immortal Kings, might not surpass him. After all, Lin Yuan achieved his current accomplishments in the lower realm, whereas those descendants of Immortal Kings, youthful Immortal Kings, grew up in the vast Spirit Realm, making the two incomparable.
"Do you want to spread the martial cultivation system in the Central Divine Continent?"
Cangqing Immortal looked at Lin Yuan and slowly said.
Beside him, Mu Qingliu, upon hearing his sect master say these words, immediately became nervous.
He clearly remembered when he first informed the sect masters about Lin Yuan's information and his intentions.
The reactions of the sect masters were overwhelming.
"What audacity."
"Dreaming of spreading another cultivation system in our Central Divine Continent."
"Central Divine Continent is enveloped by the brilliance of the Immortal Dao. Only the Immortal Dao can dominate. Other cultivation systems may survive reluctantly, but attempting to overturn the main system is impossible."
The above were the attitudes of the sect masters.
This time, Cangqing Immortal descended with power to the lower realm, not only because Cangqing Immortal had lived the longest and was most likely to recognize Lin Yuan's background but also because Cangqing Immortal had the strongest strength.
Even if it was just a projection, it could exert a combat power close to the Harmonization Period.
"Is it going to start a fight?"
"I don't know if Wuji is a match for the sect master."
Mu Qingliu subconsciously stepped back a few steps, seemingly anticipating the imminent tension.
However, the next words from Cangqing Immortal left Mu Qingliu stunned.
"It's not impossible."
After pondering for a while, Cangqing Immortal said seriously.
Chapter 172: Dao Oath, Two Hundred Years Later, Stepping into the Seventh Stage (Seeking Subscriptions)
"The junior wishes to spread the martial cultivation system."
"It's not impossible."
Cangqing Immortal observed Lin Yuan for a while and said seriously.
With Cangqing Immortal's late Harmonization Period insight, he naturally could see the immense potential in Lin Yuan. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that such a person, once in the Spirit Realm, could easily step into the Harmonization Period. He might even have the chance to reach beyond the Harmonization Period, overlooking the Immortal King realm in the Spirit Realm.
Facing such a seed of an Immortal King, suppressing or killing him would be the most foolish choice. It would be meaningless because success brought no benefits, and failure would be catastrophic.
Therefore, making friends was the best choice. Even if it couldn't be achieved, one must not offend.
Lin Yuan wanted to spread the martial cultivation system in the Central Divine Continent. This would undoubtedly have an impact on the Immortal Dao cultivation system. That's why Mu Qingliu dared not agree, no matter what.
If he agreed, how could he explain it to the sect masters when they entered the Spirit Realm through the Ascension Platform?
However, Cangqing Immortal, as the strongest in the Spirit Realm among the Moral Dao Immortal Sect, had the qualifications to make this decision.
"Hmm?"
"You can spread the martial cultivation system?"
Hearing Cangqing Immortal's words, Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised.
Originally, he thought that at least they would have to have a showdown, showcasing his strength, and finally threatening to extinguish the Moral Dao Immortal Sect's lineage in the Central Divine Continent to negotiate an agreement. As for what happens if the Moral Dao Immortal Sect reneges later? As long as Lin Yuan doesn't ascend to the Spirit Realm, the Moral Dao Immortal Sect wouldn't dare to renege.
Even the Lord of Blood Demon could live for hundreds of thousands of years, and Lin Yuan, as an existence far beyond the Lord of Blood Demon, could possibly live for millions or even tens of millions of years, according to external beliefs.
Of course, this was an external belief.
In fact, Lin Yuan would return to the main world in a little over two hundred years. However, only Lin Yuan was aware of this, and the Moral Dao Immortal Sect and even those ancestors in the Spirit Realm were not aware.
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, on the side, was a bit dumbfounded.
Did Senior Cangqing compromise?
What about those 'grandiose words' he said before?
Mu Qingliu couldn't understand, but he knew that every move his senior master made had profound meaning. Since he said so, he must have discovered something.
"That's right."
"Central Divine Continent is just one of the millions of lower realms in the Spirit Realm, nothing special. For talents like the junior, the true stage is the Spirit Realm."
Cangqing Immortal said gently.
For a moment, Mu Qingliu felt a bit uncomfortable.
"Spirit Realm."
Lin Yuan glanced at the Spirit Realm world 'coordinates' on the World Door.
In the future, if he encounters any bottlenecks that cannot be overcome through ordinary traversals, he can go to the Spirit Realm.
"What do I need to pay?"
Lin Yuan said directly.
Although Cangqing Immortal appeared amiable, Lin Yuan was clear that the other party couldn't be a good person.
"It's very simple."
"In the future, when the junior ascends to the Spirit Realm, help the Immortal Sect once if it's within your capabilities."
Cangqing Immortal said.
This was not an excessive request. Firstly, the phrase 'within your capabilities' provided a lot of leeway. It mainly depended on whether Lin Yuan wanted to help or not.
Cangqing Immortal knew that when dealing with a genius like Lin Yuan, one should never set overly strict commitments.
"No problem."
Lin Yuan nodded.
He vaguely felt that Cangqing Immortal was 'pleasing' and 'investing' in him, without even basic restrictions. Lin Yuan completely belonged to the category of "help if willing."
But no matter what, his goal was achieved.
"How can it be ensured?" Lin Yuan asked the crucial question.
How to ensure that the Moral Dao Immortal Sect would always allow the spread of the martial cultivation system.
"I can make a Dao Oath," Cangqing Immortal said without hesitation.
"Dao Oath?" Lin Yuan was slightly puzzled.
"Junior may not be aware; a Dao Oath is a vow made in the name of the vast Spirit Realm. Even Immortal Kings dare not violate it," Cangqing Immortal explained with a smile.
"Later, I will make a Dao Oath, attracting the attention of the Spirit Realm consciousness. You will know by then," Cangqing Immortal said.
After saying this, Cangqing Immortal's expression became slightly solemn.
"I, Cangqing, swear in the presence of the great Spirit Realm consciousness," Cangqing Immortal roughly repeated the related commitments on how to ensure the spread of the martial cultivation system.
Lin Yuan listened and did not find any problems. At least, Cangqing Immortal did not play any word games. In fact, the other party couldn't tamper with it. Since they wanted to befriend Lin Yuan and saw potential in him, there was sincerity at least.
"Dao Oath."
Just as Cangqing Immortal finished taking the oath, Lin Yuan faintly felt a distant and majestic ripple.
This ripple did not follow the Ascension Platform but descended from outside the world.
Hum.
The ripple revolved around Cangqing Immortal, and Lin Yuan felt that as long as Cangqing Immortal violated the oath, this ripple would reappear.
"The consciousness of the Spirit Realm can be used like this?" Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised.
Compared to the worlds Lin Yuan traversed before, the consciousness of the Spirit Realm was already in an extremely mature state, almost no different from the Heavenly Dao.
"You can rest assured now, right?" Cangqing Immortal sensed the ripple moving away and looked at Lin Yuan with a smile.
"I have one more request." Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and continued.
Mu Qingliu on the side twitched his mouth slightly.
Lin Yuan was the first to dare to negotiate conditions with their senior master.
"Please speak, junior." Cangqing Immortal didn't mind.
Since the Dao Oath had been made, the remaining requests were inconsequential.
"I hope that in the future, if the martial cultivation system can produce a Sixth Stage, it can also ascend to the Spirit Realm through the Ascension Platform," Lin Yuan said.
The Spirit Realm was a vast world far superior to the Central Divine Continent. Allowing practitioners of the martial cultivation evolutionary system to go to the Spirit Realm and establish themselves there would be greatly beneficial for Lin Yuan to spread martial arts.
Of course, without Lin Yuan's protection, the spread of the martial cultivation evolutionary system in the Spirit Realm might not be so smooth.
But this was just Lin Yuan's casual move, and success or failure would not have much impact.
And for the martial cultivators of this realm, obtaining an opportunity to ascend to the Spirit Realm was already quite good.
"No problem."
Cangqing Immortal nodded.
Allowing the spread of the martial cultivation system and ascending through the Ascension Platform would naturally not be difficult.
Next.
Under Lin Yuan's gaze.
Cangqing Immortal once again made a Dao Oath.
After Lin Yuan left.
Cangqing Immortal's smile faded.
"Ancestral Master."
Mu Qingliu hesitated on the side.
Just now, even he could see the issues in the conversation between the Ancestral Master and Jun Wuji.
Cangqing Immortal was basically letting Jun Wuji benefit for free.
"You don't understand," Cangqing Immortal glanced at Mu Qingliu, shaking his head, "A talent like him, even in the Spirit Realm, can shine brilliantly. He can make demands on me now, and in a thousand or ten thousand years, I won't even be able to make demands on him."
Cangqing Immortal's gaze remained calm.
For him, there was no significant loss. Even if martial arts were allowed to spread, the immortal path would still exist.
"The next sect master of the sect can be selected from the direct bloodline of this junior."
Cangqing Immortal pondered for a moment and continued.
Generally, he wouldn't bother with the selection of the next sect master of the Central Divine Continent Immortal Sect.
Because such matters were beneath his notice, but now, it involved Jun Wuji, so he had to intervene.
"Yes."
Mu Qingliu respectfully agreed.
At this moment, he also felt the importance Cangqing Ancestor placed on Jun Wuji.
After sending away Cangqing Immortal.
Mu Qingliu returned to the highest hall of the Immortal Mountain with complex thoughts.
"You?"
Mu Qingliu saw Jun Wuji standing outside the hall at a glance.
"I want to borrow the Moral Dao Scripture for a look."
Lin Yuan stated his purpose.
The essential descriptions of the Harmony Realm in the Moral Dao Scripture were still quite interesting to Lin Yuan.
Mu Qingliu remained silent for a while, thinking about Cangqing Immortal's attitude, and straightforwardly handed over the Moral Dao Scripture, which only past sect masters could cultivate.
On the Ninth Heaven.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
Various descriptions of the 'Moral Dao Scripture' kept appearing in his mind.
[Your comprehension is heaven-defying, and understanding the 'Moral Dao Scripture' deepens your understanding of the Essence of the Harmony Realm.]
[Your comprehension is heaven-defying, and understanding the 'Moral Dao Scripture' deepens your understanding of the Essence of the Harmony Realm.]
[Your comprehension is heaven-defying, and understanding the 'Moral Dao Scripture' deepens your understanding of the Essence of the Harmony Realm.]
"Harmony Realm."
"Seventh Stage."
Lin Yuan looked contemplative.
After comprehending the 'Moral Dao Scripture,' it indeed helped him greatly in opening up the seventh-stage section of the martial cultivation evolutionary path.
"Now, the beginning of the seventh-stage section of the martial cultivation evolutionary path has twelve directions."
"These twelve directions have their own essence and advantages, but I'm still somewhat dissatisfied."
Lin Yuan frowned slightly.
After grasping the 'Moral Dao Scripture,' Lin Yuan opened the beginning of the seventh-stage section in four directions again. However, it still fell short of his expectations for the seventh-stage section of the martial cultivation evolutionary path.
"Should I continue to wait?"
"Better to break through to the seventh stage first."
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and decided to choose the latter.
If it were in the main world, he would definitely plan to take it slow and continue contemplating.
After all, the physical body in the main world was his true body. After reaching the sixth stage, it would be difficult to turn back, especially in the critical stage from the sixth stage to the seventh stage.
However, in the world traversal. Even if he took the wrong path, it wouldn't affect Lin Yuan's true body.
After the sixth stage, it was challenging to turn back because the evolved path that was cultivated had already affected the soul.
In such a situation, changing to another replicated body or taking spiritual treasures that could cleanse the body would be of no use.
Because the influence on the soul would not disappear.
As for cleansing the soul, it was extremely mysterious, and who would dare to easily cleanse their own soul?
Aren't you afraid of facing an irreversible disaster?
However, for Lin Yuan at present, these were not restrictions.
Every time he traversed worlds, his consciousness descended.
What is consciousness? It is the core essence that is even more fundamental than the soul.
Whether it's the sixth stage or the seventh stage, or even the eighth stage, they all involve the soul, but it's challenging to have any effect on consciousness.
Although Lin Yuan was dissatisfied with all twelve directions of the seventh-stage section, he still chose to forcefully break through.
Apart from the fact that it had no effect on his true body.
It was more because the sixth stage and the seventh stage had a qualitative difference.
Even if it was a seventh stage that seemed ordinary, it was still a seventh stage. In this realm, what he saw, thought, knew, and contemplated were all superior to the sixth stage.
If Lin Yuan entered the seventh stage, he could completely have a broad view and re-contemplate the sixth-stage section to the seventh-stage section of the martial cultivation evolutionary path.
In the main world, those evolutionary scholars with eighth or even ninth stage strength had such high levels, establishing a third, fourth, or fifth stage evolutionary path with enormous potential was not difficult.
Time slowly passed.
A hundred years flashed by.
Since Lin Yuan had a good conversation with Cangqing Immortal, the Spirit Realm ancestor of the Moral Dao Immortal Sect.
Bai Yu Ge experienced unprecedented development and even began complementary cooperation with the Moral Dao Immortal Sect.
The sect master of the sect, Mu Qingliu, even personally came to Bai Yu Island and discussed many matters with Jun Dongjin and Mu Linger.
Mu Qingliu's intention was to invite Jun Dongjin to become the next sect master of the sect.
Jun Dongjin wasn't interested in this at all. Since spending a hundred years on Mangya Mountain, Jun Dongjin had seen through the so-called struggle for power. He liked the environment on Bai Yu Island very much now, so he rejected Mu Qingliu's invitation.
In the end, after the final discussion, Jun Xiaoyao succeeded to be the next sect master of the sect.
Jun Xiaoyao was Jun Wuji's elder brother, and their bloodline was very close, meeting Cangqing Immortal's requirements for the next generation sect master.
In the westernmost part.
This place was even deeper than the Barbaric Wasteland, with almost no spiritual energy in the heaven and earth. Therefore, it was rarely visited, and even resilient demon beasts, which had strong vitality, had never settled here.
And now.
On a giant rock.
There was indeed a figure lying down.
"Seventh stage."
"I didn't expect there to be suppression from the world?"
Lin Yuan felt a bit helpless. Several decades ago, he had approached the seventh stage limit limitlessly. However, after attempting a breakthrough, he did feel the suppression from the heavens and earth.
"No wonder tens of thousands of years ago, there were many mighty beings who surpassed the limits of Refinement but none of them reached the Harmony Realm."
"Until the Ascension Platform appeared, those mighty beings who ascended to the Spirit Realm successively entered the Harmony Realm."
Lin Yuan sighed.
"What to do."
"I don't want to enter the Spirit Realm through the Ascension Platform."
Lin Yuan fell into contemplation.
Without knowing the situation on the other side of the Ascension Platform, Lin Yuan did not want to take risks.
Moreover.
Even if he wanted to enter the Spirit Realm.
Lin Yuan would still enter the Spirit Realm through the World Gate, using the method of descending with consciousness.
This method could seamlessly 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 stage."
Lin Yuan thought to himself that over the past few decades, he had been trying to comprehend methods to evade the suppression of the world, and now he had some clues.
"Take it slow."
"There's still more than a hundred years."
Lin Yuan was not in a hurry; as long as he broke through to the seventh stage within the remaining time limit, it would be sufficient.
Time slowly passed.
In the blink of an eye, another hundred years had passed.
At the eastern end of the East Sea, it was still an endless expanse of ocean.
In theory, there shouldn't be anyone coming to this place. After all, there was no spiritual energy here, and cultivators wouldn't spare a glance. As for ordinary people? They couldn't even reach this place.
Above the ocean, various threats like tsunamis and giant beasts were things ordinary people couldn't withstand.
However, at this moment, a small boat was drifting on the calm sea.
Hum!
An inexplicable aura began to spread in all directions from within the small boat.
