Chapter 173: Return (Seeking Subscriptions)
Moral Immortal Sect.
The sect master, Mu Qingliu, stood at the highest point.
"The current Moral Immortal Sect..."
Mu Qingliu silently gazed at the many disciples below.
Since accepting martial cultivators, the disciples of the sect had noticeably relaxed. After all, the existence behind the martial cultivation system was too terrifying, and many disciples were unaware of Lin Yuan's current strength.
Merely three hundred years ago, Lin Yuan, in his triple-transformed state, had joined forces to shake the foundations of the Moral Immortal Mountain.
That terrifying scene remained a nightmare for many disciples.
And now, the Dao and martial paths had already reached a semi-integrated state. Jun Xiaoyao, the elder brother of Jun Wuji, was being groomed as the future sect master.
"A stroke of luck in misfortune."
Mu Qingliu sighed.
At least, in the current situation, it was much better than provoking Jun Wuji and standing completely against him.
At least, Mu Qingliu dared not imagine the consequences of such a confrontation.
"However, why hasn't Wuji come over yet? The Ascension Platform is ready at any time."
Mu Qingliu was somewhat puzzled.
According to all indications, two hundred years ago, Jun Wuji's strength had already reached the limit of the world. According to the opinions of the sect's ancestors in the spirit world, under the world's suppression in the Divine Land of Central Shenzhou, at most, one could only approach the Combining Dao Realm limit.
As for entering the Combining Dao Realm, it was basically impossible.
This was unrelated to aptitude but rather the limitations imposed by heaven and earth.
Just as Mu Qingliu was puzzled.
A distant aura came from the eastern end of the East Sea.
"Hmm?"
"What is this?"
Mu Qingliu's pupils contracted.
This aura, though far less powerful than Lin Yuan's breakthrough two hundred years ago, made cultivators with a bit of strength between heaven and earth sense it.
But at this moment, Mu Qingliu, trembling from the depths of his soul, as if the source of this aura was an existence comparable to the entire heaven and earth.
"Is it Wuji?"
Mu Qingliu focused, immediately rushing to the deepest part of the sect's territory, where the secret realm containing the Ascension Platform was located.
Mu Qingliu didn't hesitate to activate the Ascension Platform, contacting the sect's ancestors in the spirit world.
"What exactly is the matter?"
"Do I need to pay a price for an old man to come down?"
A somewhat irritable voice came, obviously not the previous Moral Immortal.
As the strongest in the Moral Immortal Sect in the spirit world, Cangqing Immortal, in the later stage of the Combining Dao Realm, spent most of his time in seclusion.
Only when the Moral Immortal Sect in the Divine Land of Central Shenzhou faced a life-and-death crisis would he be informed.
And after reaching an agreement with Lin Yuan, the Moral Immortal Sect had almost no worries of annihilation, so Cangqing Immortal did not continue paying attention.
Following Cangqing Immortal's instructions, the next time to contact him would be when Jun Wuji ascended to the spirit world.
"Could it be True Flame Ancestor?"
Mu Qingliu's heart trembled again.
Among the various ancestral immortals of the Moral Immortal Sect, True Flame Ancestor had the most explosive personality. Throughout generations, the sect masters were all very afraid of dealing with this ancestor. After all, being punished by True Flame Ancestor was no small matter. Although the punishment didn't harm the foundation, as they were all juniors of the sect, they would undoubtedly have to endure some hardship.
"Ancestor, it's about Jun Wuji," Mu Qingliu immediately said.
"Jun Wuji?"
True Flame Ancestor frowned. "The junior recommended by Cangqing? "
Although True Flame Ancestor's strength was not as great as Cangqing's, it was still very close. Two hundred years ago, when Cangqing Immortal gathered them together to discuss Jun Wuji and revealed the oath he had sworn, True Flame Ancestor was somewhat disapproving. He didn't believe that in the lower realm of Central Divine Land, there could be a top-tier genius with the potential to ascend to Immortal King. Immortal King—it wasn't that True Flame Ancestor questioned Cangqing Immortal's judgment; he just felt that perhaps Cangqing Immortal had overlooked certain things. Jun Wuji was not the kind of genius he imagined, someone who could easily ascend to the Spirit Realm and enter the Combining Dao Realm as effortlessly as eating and drinking.
Especially having the potential to touch the Immortal King realm—forget about the Immortal King; even in the Spirit Realm, they were overlords. As for the Combining Dao Realm, also known as the Immortal Realm, was it so easy to step into?
True Flame Ancestor disagreed.
"Hmm?"
True Flame Ancestor was about to speak and inquire about Jun Wuji's situation when he sensed the distant aura from the eastern end of the East Sea.
"This is the integration of the divine and the earthly; someone has entered the Combining Dao Realm?"
True Flame Ancestor widened his eyes.
A Combining Dao Realm immortal was considered a powerful being in the Spirit Realm and belonged to the ruling class. True Flame Ancestor felt familiar with the aura when many cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage entered the Combining Dao Realm. So, if it were in the Spirit Realm, True Flame Ancestor wouldn't find it strange.
But where was this?
It was the lower realm.
It was Central Divine Land.
Tens of thousands of years ago, this group of beings that surpassed the limits of Nascent Soul was already very certain that the Combining Dao Realm could not be born in this realm. At most, one could only approach it indefinitely.
"Is it Jun Wuji?"
True Flame Ancestor turned his head and stared at Mu Qingliu.
"It should be," Mu Qingliu nodded.
The distant aura had traces of Jun Wuji's aura from the past. Within this realm, who else could have such an aura other than Jun Wuji?
"Monster."
True Flame Ancestor swallowed his saliva.
He had just entered the Combining Dao Realm?
Back then, when he ascended to the Spirit Realm, it also took countless efforts to advance to the Combining Dao Realm. Yet, a junior from later generations accomplished it so easily? Moreover, it happened in Central Divine Land, theoretically incapable of producing a Combining Dao Realm, lower realm?
"Such talent... Could that old guy Cangqing have underestimated it?"
True Flame Ancestor's thoughts surged.
Beneath the Spirit Realm were millions of lower realms, such as the lower realm like Central Divine Land. However, since ancient times, no lower realm had ever produced someone who ascended to the Combining Dao Realm. This was too unimaginable.
"Ancestor, what should we do now?" Mu Qingliu asked in a low voice.
"What should we do?" True Flame Ancestor glanced at Mu Qingliu. "What else can we do?"
If it were before Lin Yuan broke through to the Combining Dao Realm, True Flame Ancestor would still have confidence. With this projection, he could deal with Lin Yuan cautiously.
But now?
The opponent's strength was almost catching up to his true self in the Spirit Realm. Why bother being cautious? Wasn't that asking for humiliation?
"However, breaking through to the Combining Dao Realm gives the ability to survive in the chaotic flow of void. Central Divine Land is a lower realm in the Spirit Realm. As long as we break through this realm, with the strength of the Combining Dao Realm, we can completely follow the chaotic flow of void and enter the Spirit Realm."
True Flame Ancestor thought silently in his heart.
Nascent Soul-stage ancient saints did not have the ability to survive in the chaotic flow of void. Therefore, to enter the Spirit Realm, they could only use the 'Ascension Platform' to fly along a stable spatial channel and ascend to the Spirit Realm.
However, for Combining Dao Realm immortals, this was unnecessary.
With the strength of a Combining Dao Realm immortal, they could actively go to the Spirit Realm. The Spirit Realm, located above Central Divine Land in the world, was easily sensed by a Combining Dao Realm immortal.
"This is the Seventh Order."
At the eastern end of the East Sea, on the calm sea surface, Lin Yuan's face revealed a smile.
At this moment, he concealed his aura, but he could easily tear open space fissures.
"The suppression of heaven and earth is just like that."
Lin Yuan felt pleased. In this world, the suppression for a Nascent Soul breakthrough to the Combining Dao Realm, or breaking from the Sixth to the Seventh Order, was such. Even the strongest individuals could only infinitely approach the Combining Dao Realm. However, with Lin Yuan's extraordinary comprehension, he quickly thought of a method to step into the Combining Dao Realm.
That was to separate the true self from the Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit.
The true self, Yin Spirit, and Yang Spirit all cultivated to be infinitely close to the Combining Dao Realm. Then, the three would merge again, and their powers would combine and multiply.
Quantity would cause a qualitative change, ultimately forcibly breaking into the Seventh Order.
"Such a wonderful feeling."
Lin Yuan closed his eyes, sinking into a kind of immersion.
After entering the Seventh Order, Lin Yuan's realm soared, and everything he perceived surpassed the time when he was in the Sixth Order. Watching the same falling leaves at the Sixth Order and the Seventh Order brought completely different feelings, not to mention the myriad things of heaven and earth. The extraordinary comprehension was the same, depending on the height where Lin Yuan stood.
If Lin Yuan were just an ordinary person, the most he could comprehend would be martial arts of the first or second order.
But now, Lin Yuan was already considered the Seventh Order, equivalent to an immortal in the Spirit Realm, and the essence of all things in the world was slowly unfolding before him.
Continuing the immersion for a moment, Lin Yuan opened his eyes.
"This time, I choose the direction to break through to the Seventh Order, leaning towards the path of immortality."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
The Morality Immortal Scripture had been of great help, revealing four additional paths to the Seventh Order, all influenced by the immortal path cultivation system.
"As expected, it's not the Seventh Order I desire."
Upon reaching the Seventh Order, Lin Yuan shook his head slightly, perceiving various details.
For other strong individuals opening up paths, they could only continue to practice forward now. Even if they were dissatisfied, what could they do? Once entering this field, both the physical body and soul transformed in this direction, with no turning back.
However, Lin Yuan had the means to return to the main world, abandoning everything related to traversing worlds and returning to his true self. Only memories and realms would return.
In the past, this method was more disadvantageous than advantageous. After all, toiling for dozens or hundreds of years in the world, only to bring back no strength? However, now, Lin Yuan had the greatest confidence in exploring the path to the Seventh Order.
As long as the path was right, the direction was correct, what did strength matter? The main world was not lacking in treasures for accumulating strength.
No matter how much strength, it had to be controllable.
"I'll temporarily stop continuing the cultivation behind the Seventh Order and focus on comprehending other paths from the Sixth to the Seventh Order."
Lin Yuan stopped his perception. The direction he was currently facing was not the one he was satisfied with. Continuing to cultivate and explore in this direction would be meaningless.
"However."
Lin Yuan seemed to think of something. He raised his right hand and lightly swiped the air in front of him.
Crack.
A gap was torn open.
Revealing the grayish chaotic flow of void inside.
"Breaking the void?"
An unusual color appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
"With my current strength, I can indeed survive in the chaotic flow of void." After pondering for a while, Lin Yuan inserted his hand into the spatial rift he had created.
Soon after, he withdrew it and found that there were no injuries on his arm.
"The aura of the Spirit Realm."
Lin Yuan continued to sense the spatial rift he had torn open.
He discovered that in the infinite heights, a vast world resembling a huge sun was releasing boundless aura.
Lin Yuan had seen the Ascension Platforms passing through the Spirit Realm, confirming that this aura was consistent with the aura on the Ascension Platforms.
"Forty years left of residence time."
Lin Yuan glanced at the illusory characters below.
White Jade Island.
Two hundred years had passed.
Most of the White Jade Pavilion had already moved to Central Divine Land. After all, the cultivation environment there was more favorable, and cultivation sanctuaries like the Seventy-Two Earthly Paradises and One Hundred and Eight Fortunate Lands were all in Central Divine Land.
Now, there weren't many White Jade Pavilion disciples remaining on White Jade Island.
In the core area of White Jade Island, Lin Yuan's figure appeared.
"No-jiu?"
"How did you come back?"
Mu Lian'er was sitting there chatting with Jun Dongjin when she suddenly saw Lin Yuan and immediately stood up.
"No-jiu."
Jun Dongjin also stood up, looking at Lin Yuan with some emotion.
He never expected that his youngest son would achieve such great success, actually making the Spirit Realm ancestor of the Morality Immortal Sect give in.
"I just came back for a visit."
Lin Yuan nodded. This should be his last time returning to White Jade Island. With only forty years of residency remaining, Lin Yuan's plan was to continue traveling the world for the initial ten years and then attempt to leave this realm, heading into the chaotic flow of void beyond the world for enlightenment.
During the God Weapon World, Lin Yuan faced space fissures, and even with his extraordinary comprehension, the insight gained wasn't very profound. But now, being at the Seventh Order, when he looked again at the chaotic flow of void within the space fissure, many insights emerged. This demonstrated the difference in strength and the disparity brought about by the vantage point.
Next, Lin Yuan chatted with his parents.
"Wuji."
Mu Linger seemed somewhat melancholic, vaguely feeling that she might not see Jun Wuji many more times.
"These are two sets of cultivation resources for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage."
With a slight thought, Lin Yuan presented two storage rings.
Over the years, as Lin Yuan traveled the world, he naturally found many good things. Those treasures and resources, of no use to Lin Yuan, were kept aside and now happened to be given to his parents.
"With these resources, breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage shouldn't be a problem."
"At that time, you both can use the Ascension Platform of the Moral Sect to enter the Spirit Realm."
Lin Yuan spoke.
His elder brother, Jun Xiaoyao, had already been cultivated as the next sect master of the Moral Sect. Breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage shouldn't be a problem. Lin Yuan had also left resources for his second sister to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. This was the last thing Lin Yuan could do.
"Wuji."
Jun Dongjin hesitated.
He always felt that his youngest son was preparing for something. Still, with Jun Wuji's strength, who could make him prepare for the future?
"Wuji, are you planning to ascend to the Spirit Realm?"
Jun Dongjin asked tentatively.
"More or less."
Lin Yuan nodded.
What he was 'ascending' was not the Spirit Realm but the vast main world beyond the Spirit Realm.
Time passed.
Another ten years went by.
At the northernmost peak.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
"Wandered a few more times."
"Nothing else to see."
Lin Yuan raised his right hand and gently swept it toward the air in front.
Rip.
A space fissure several meters long appeared.
Lin Yuan gazed at the space fissure.
[Your comprehension is extraordinary. Watching the chaotic flow of void deepens your understanding of spatial essence.]
[Your comprehension is extraordinary. Watching the chaotic flow of void deepens your understanding of spatial essence.]
[Your comprehension is extraordinary. Watching the chaotic flow of void begins to perfect the martial evolution system.]
Beyond the world of Central Divine Land.
Lin Yuan's figure appeared.
Crackling.
Terrifying chaotic flows dissipated as they approached Lin Yuan within a few meters.
"Is this space? Violent, sharp? Destroying everything?"
Lin Yuan was somewhat shocked.
Inside the world, space was stable, orderly, and the cradle that could nurture countless lives.
But outside the world, space was filled with extreme destructive power.
This contrast deepened Lin Yuan's understanding of the power of space.
Like this, Lin Yuan drifted alone in the chaotic flow of void outside the world.
Until thirty years later.
Hum!
In the depths of his mind, the Gate of Myriad Worlds emitted a brilliant light.
Chapter 174: Harvest, Transmission, and the Conclusion of the Dark Prison Family (Seeking Subscriptions)
Chikun Main Star.
Within the depths of the thirteen mountain peaks, within the palace.
Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
"I'm finally back."
Looking at the familiar scene around him, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
The five hundred years in the Central Divine Land had a significant impact on Lin Yuan, especially after stepping into the Seventh Order, even if it wasn't the Seventh Order he desired. It allowed Lin Yuan to witness scenes he couldn't touch before.
The higher one stood, the farther and broader one could see.
"I hope I won't need to use this trump card in the future."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Before leaving, Lin Yuan deliberately returned to the Central Divine Land, securely placing his physical body in a hidden location, and only then did he consciously return.
The purpose of this action was so that, someday in the future, if he returned to the Central Divine Land, he could directly take control of the preserved physical body and quickly master the strongest power in that realm.
After breaking through to the Sixth Order, more 'functions' of the Gate of Myriad Worlds appeared, including the ability to return to previously traversed worlds.
But even if he returned, Lin Yuan would choose to consciously descend.
As for the physical body traveling, it was both dangerous and consumed more 'boundary-breaking source power.'
If he consciously descended, he could only start cultivating from scratch, even if he possessed a high realm; it would still take time step by step.
But with his preserved physical body, everything became simple.
He just needed to detach his consciousness, take control of the body, and restore the strongest power in the Central Divine Land.
Of course.
Even though he left this trump card, Lin Yuan didn't want it to be used passively.
Because that would mean—
Unexpected changes occurred in the Central Divine Land, risking the overturning of the martial cultivation system.
Returning to the Central Divine Land again required the consumption of ten strands of 'boundary-breaking source power.'
Unless absolutely necessary, Lin Yuan wouldn't choose to do so.
"Spirit Realm."
Lin Yuan's face fell into brief contemplation.
In the last thirty years of residency time.
Lin Yuan wandered alone in the chaotic flow of void outside the world and had also gazed from afar at the massive Spirit Realm located in a high position.
It was a behemoth far surpassing the Central Divine Land,
Radiating numerous auras like radiation, firmly locking millions of lower realms, including the Central Divine Land.
"Unfortunately, directly ascending to the Spirit Realm is still a bit risky. There's no need to do that."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
The world hierarchy in the Spirit Realm is undoubtedly high.
There are Immortal King-level powerhouses comparable to the Eighth Order of the main world, and even existences surpassing the Immortal King level.
If Lin Yuan enters the Spirit Realm as a Transcendent at the Integration Stage, it will inevitably attract many eyes.
In such a situation, even if Lin Yuan only consciously descends and is fearless of death, there is no guarantee of absolute safety.
In front of those true powerhouses, Lin Yuan might not die even if he wanted to. He might be subjected to 'soul searching,' exposing information about the main world.
Furthermore, Lin Yuan did not enter the Spirit Realm through the Ascension Platform for similar reasons.
Although Cangqing Patriarch of the Morality Immortal Sect, who is in the Upper Realm, has sworn an oath in front of him, if Lin Yuan truly ascends to the Spirit Realm and falls into the hands of those Integration Stage Immortals, accidents are inevitable.
Lin Yuan would never let himself be in a passive situation.
Moreover, having mastered the coordinates of the Spirit Realm, Lin Yuan could enter the Spirit Realm unnoticed, without the need to take unnecessary risks.
At least, as long as he does not enter the Spirit Realm through the Ascension Platform.
The martial cultivation system in the Central Divine Land will not be suppressed.
At least, the Upper Realm Patriarchs of the Immortal Sect will be wary—
Whether Lin Yuan might suddenly appear.
"Stop thinking about this."
Lin Yuan collected his thoughts and stopped caring about the Central Divine Land world.
Since he has already left, thinking more about it is meaningless.
"The gains from this shuttle."
Lin Yuan felt good. In the five hundred years of the Central Divine Land, Lin Yuan not only reached the pinnacle of the Sixth Order but also explored a path to the Seventh Order.
It should be noted that Sixth Order evolutionists in the main world want to step into the Seventh Order. The cost is unknown, involving their own evolutionary paths, the perfection of their physical and spiritual bodies, and so on.
The nine disciples of the Red Kun lineage, Fourth Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother, Sixth Senior Brother, and Twelfth Senior Brother, are all true geniuses of evolution. They are guided by the Star Master but are still trapped in the Sixth Order.
Is it because the Senior Brothers are incapable? Not really, but the difficulty of advancing from the Sixth to the Seventh Order is too great.
It is a transformation of the essence of life, surpassing the transition from the Fifth to the Sixth Order.
Lin Yuan has a deep understanding of this, as he forcibly entered the Seventh Order and felt the gap in realms.
"Space."
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
In the last few decades of the fifth shuttle, Lin Yuan's perception of space rocketed, like a rocket.
In the chaotic flow of void, the other side of space that Lin Yuan observed was filled with another aspect of destruction. In contrast to the calm, stable, and orderly space of the main world, with his reverse comprehension, Lin Yuan directly reached the essence of space.
It can be said that the gains Lin Yuan made in terms of space rules during this shuttle are greater than stepping into the Seventh Order.
"I can feel that the Seventh Order of martial arts I want is related to space rules. However, I still haven't opened up a satisfactory Seventh Order chapter because my comprehension of space rules is still insufficient."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Space rules are vast; they are the main rules that support the world. The more Lin Yuan comprehends, the more he feels how small he is within the space rules.
If, in the past, Lin Yuan was in a well, with only the vast starry sky as the mouth of the well, that would be the space rules.
Now, Lin Yuan has climbed out of the well, seeing a more vast and boundless starry sky.
"Comprehend slowly."
"I'm not in a hurry."
Lin Yuan pondered for a while.
"Although I haven't comprehended the perfect Seventh Order martial arts chapter, the Sixth Order chapter is close enough. I should organize it and upload it to the Wisdom Goddess."
Lin Yuan rubbed his forehead. The Sixth Order martial arts chapter included a profound exploration of the physical body by the Body Cultivation lineage.
In theory, an evolutionist who reaches the Sixth Order in martial arts has the possibility of awakening physical body divine abilities.
Of course, the specific divine ability depends entirely on the fragments of divine abilities in their bloodline.
However, regardless, even if it's just an auxiliary divine ability for the physical body, it is highly beneficial to the evolutionist.
Unlike secret techniques, activating divine abilities does not require any restrictive conditions; they can be invoked instantly.
"Bloody Rebirth."
The aura within Lin Yuan's body began to change, intertwining and colliding, faintly forming a mysterious pattern.
This was the "Bloody Divine Ability" that Lin Yuan comprehended in the Central Divine Land. He deduced this divine ability based on the main world's physical body after expending a huge cost.
This technique is only suitable for Lin Yuan, and even if others get it, they cannot form the imprint of the technique.
"Strictly speaking, can my current physical body also condense a new physical body divine ability?"
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
After all, his current physical and spiritual body had just entered the Sixth Order. If he completes the Sixth Order chapter, a new physical body divine ability would naturally be born.
"I'll try it later."
"First, organize the Sixth Order chapter and upload it."
Lin Yuan was not in a hurry.
A day or two later, Lin Yuan roughly organized the Sixth Order martial arts chapter to make it more suitable for the human race in the main world.
Then, he connected to the 'Wisdom Goddess.'
"Respected citizen Lin Yuan, the Wisdom Goddess is pleased to serve you."
The solemn and cold voice of the Wisdom Goddess came.
"I want to upload the Sixth Order martial arts evolution path."
Lin Yuan said and began uploading the content of the Sixth Order chapter.
"Citizen Lin Yuan, please wait. The Wisdom Goddess is currently making a comprehensive assessment."
After receiving the Sixth Order martial arts chapter, the Wisdom Goddess immediately started the assessment.
"In fact, the Immortal Dao cultivation system has not appeared in the main world before," Lin Yuan seemed to think of something.
He could completely upload the Immortal Dao cultivation system to the Wisdom Goddess to obtain rewards.
However, after contemplating for a while, Lin Yuan abandoned this idea.
The Immortal Dao cultivation system was definitely created by a certain existence. If he let it spread in the main world, wouldn't he be helping the creator of the Immortal Dao?
Furthermore, the Immortal Dao cultivation system, although having a high upper limit, reaching the Seventh, Eighth, or even Ninth Order, had significant limitations. For example, it requires spiritual energy and spiritual roots. The main world's universe is filled with various energies, but there is not much energy similar to spiritual energy.
The most critical point is spiritual roots. According to Lin Yuan's knowledge, the human race in the main world does not have the concept of spiritual roots.
If Lin Yuan were to upload the Immortal Dao cultivation system, the first thing he would need to do is modify it to make it suitable for the human race in the main world.
In other words, he would have to deduce an alternative to spiritual roots.
This kind of cost is too great. With this time and energy, Lin Yuan would rather continue to comprehend the martial arts evolution system, making it more advanced. It would be much more cost-effective than the former.
While waiting for the Wisdom Goddess's final judgment, Lin Yuan began to check other information.
In the five hundred years of the Central Divine Land, the time flow in the main world had only been less than four months.
Lin Yuan opened the information records and roughly browsed through them.
"Sun Yang Saint Son."
Lin Yuan saw a message from Sun Yang Saint Son sent about a month ago.
The general idea was that he had already broken through to the Sixth Order and hoped to have another exchange with Lin Yuan.
Sun Yang Saint Son possessed the rare 'Nine Yang Divine Veins' and, after a century of deep sleep in the depths of the stars, had profound strength. Only at the Sixth Order could he truly unleash his potential.
When Lin Yuan reached the peak of the Fifth Order, he had fought against Sun Yang Saint Son, ultimately overwhelming him.
Sun Yang Saint Son still remembered this incident, understanding that Lin Yuan's unique evolutionary path and perfect soul fusion significantly enhanced his combat power.
But at the Sixth Order, the competition was not only about the evolutionary path; the inherent foundation of one's physical constitution also played a role.
After breaking through to the Sixth Order, Sun Yang Saint Son felt a qualitative change in his strength, rekindling his confidence. He wanted to challenge Lin Yuan again to redeem his previous defeat.
Although he had never won against Lin Yuan, at least he didn't want to be crushed as before, letting Lin Yuan force him into submission with a few slaps.
"Let's have a sparring match."
Lin Yuan fell silent for a moment.
In Sun Yang Saint Son's eyes, Lin Yuan was just entering the Sixth Order, giving him the confidence to challenge.
However, in reality, Lin Yuan was already at the peak of the Sixth Order and had even embarked on a certain path toward the Seventh Order. The gap between him and Sun Yang Saint Son was far greater than when they were both at the peak of the Fifth Order.
At the peak of the Fifth Order, Sun Yang Saint Son could still resist Lin Yuan for a few moves.
But now…
"Never mind."
"No need to waste time."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. With his current strength, sparring with Sun Yang Saint Son would be a case of a large fish bullying a small one.
Previously, Lin Yuan sparred with Sun Yang Saint Son because he could gain insights from the exchange.
Now, the difference between them was too significant, making any comparison irrelevant.
Replying to Sun Yang Saint Son with a brief 'I have no time recently,' Lin Yuan continued to browse through the following information.
"Black Prison Family."
Lin Yuan saw messages from several senior brothers.
Due to his instructions to seclude himself before traveling, the senior brothers had only left messages for him.
"Is the Black Prison Family colluding with the foreign tribes?"
Lin Yuan's expression became strange.
Before the identity of the Thirteenth Peak Master was publicly revealed, Lin Yuan had some conflicts with Heiyu Family's Heiyu Pincers.
Subsequently, Heiyu Pincers utilized the influence of the Heiyu Family to suppress Lin Yuan.
After Lin Yuan broke through to the Sixth Order and publicly revealed his identity, Heiyu Family became uneasy. Heiyu Mo, along with Heiyu Pincers, even came to the Red Kun Main Star personally to seek an audience with him, hoping to apologize.
However, at that time, Lin Yuan was busy imprinting his life marks into the cosmic starry sky, so he didn't pay attention to them.
Later, when Lin Yuan's senior brothers asked for his opinion, Lin Yuan stated that he had no intention of reconciling with Heiyu Family.
With Lin Yuan's words, his senior brothers understood his stance and planned to use various means to suppress Heiyu Family, making it decline completely.
This was the consequence of offending the Peak Master of the Red Kun lineage.
Even though the five major forces in the Red Kun Star Region were powerful, they were essentially dogs raised by the Red Kun lineage. Others might be negotiable, but if they dared to defy the master, there was no need for their existence.
Originally, according to the Second Senior Brother's intention, it was to make things difficult for Heiyu Family and thoroughly investigate various aspects.
After all, a force like Heiyu Family, which had operated for hundreds of thousands of years, could not withstand detailed scrutiny.
By then, they could find any excuse.
In order to please Lin Yuan, Second Senior Brother personally took charge of investigating Heiyu Family this time.
However, to his surprise, this investigation led Second Senior Brother to discover a problem.
Heiyu Family seemed to have connections with an alien race.
Second Senior Brother did not find specific evidence of Heiyu Family's connection with the alien race.
But some things simply didn't need evidence. After Second Senior Brother discovered this, he immediately planned to control Heiyu Mo.
Regardless, it was better to take away Heiyu Mo, the highest authority figure in Heiyu Family, first.
To be safe, Second Senior Brother secretly contacted the Red Kun Main Master.
Under the watchful eyes of the Red Kun Main Master, Heiyu Mo had no room for resistance at all.
After being taken away, he was 'soul-searched' by a special Eighth-Order evolutionist in the Human Alliance.
Powerful beings like Heiyu Mo could already control their own memories, and ordinary soul-searching was useless.
However, an Eighth-Order evolutionist specializing in souls could construct a vast illusory world. The memories of Heiyu Mo from childhood to adulthood would unfold in that illusory world.
Such methods could only be done by Eighth-Order evolutionists, and such powerful beings were extremely rare.
"Heiyu Family... it's over."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
If he had only offended him, Heiyu Family would at most 'decline' and could exit gracefully.
After all, human alliance laws were still in place, and such a massive family couldn't encounter any significant issues.
Lin Yuan's senior brothers' methods against Heiyu Family were only investigations, which complied with alliance legal regulations.
However, conspiring with an alien race was a betrayal to the Human Alliance. Whether other members of Heiyu Family knew or not, it spelled doom for them.
Just as Lin Yuan was sighing.
A dignified and cold voice sounded.
"Respected Level Six Citizen Lin Yuan, the Sixth Order chapter you uploaded has been judged completed."
The voice of the Wisdom Goddess resonated.
Chapter 175 Red Kun Main Master: Good disciple, your question is a bit beyond the scope (Seeking Subscriptions)
"Judgment completed?"
Lin Yuan's face lit up with a smile.
Every time he returned, he immediately uploaded the subsequent stages of the newly opened martial evolution path to the Wisdom Goddess.
Apart from gaining a large number of meritorious points as rewards and better dissemination of the martial evolution path, it was also to leverage the vast computing power of the Wisdom Goddess to assess the potential of the uploaded stages.
The potential of a martial evolution path involved various aspects and was extremely difficult to estimate. The Wisdom Goddess and the other two goddesses could only deduce a rough approximation.
But that was enough.
In short, if the Wisdom Goddess judged the potential of a certain evolution path to be low, it might not be accurate.
However, if the Wisdom Goddess judged the potential to be high, it would undoubtedly be correct.
"Respected Level Six Citizen Lin Yuan, according to the final judgment, the Sixth Order chapter of the martial evolution path you uploaded is worth four hundred thousand merit points."
"Four hundred thousand merit points?"
Lin Yuan felt quite satisfied.
Last time, when he 'updated' the martial evolution path by refining and re-uploading the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Order chapters, he received only fifty thousand merit points.
This time, with only the Sixth Order chapter uploaded, being worth four hundred thousand merit points was already quite high.
It's worth noting that four hundred thousand merit points were equivalent to the value of killing more than half of an Eighth-Order alien.
On the alien battlefield, killing an Eighth-Order alien usually yielded a reward of around a million merit points.
And were Eighth-Order alien powerhouses easy to kill? It might be possible to defeat one, but killing them was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Eighth-Order aliens were the foundation of various ethnic groups, and most of them had life-saving cards. Even the mighty Red Kun Main Master would find it challenging to kill an Eighth-Order alien when venturing into the alien battlefield.
Eighth-Order alien powerhouses were not fools; if they realized they couldn't win, they would definitely run.
"A Level Six Citizen requires two million merit points to advance to Level Seven Citizen."
Lin Yuan glanced at the merit points required for the next level of citizen advancement, shaking his head.
Two million merit points were simply astronomical, and even Lin Yuan felt a tingling scalp. For most Seventh-Order evolutionists, it might take tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years squatting on the alien battlefield to accumulate such a massive number of merit points.
The alien battlefield was extremely dangerous, and human evolutionists fighting against alien powerhouses faced the constant danger of losing their lives.
Although Sixth-Order and higher evolutionists had the qualification to be resurrected, without potential, who would resurrect you? Most Sixth- and Seventh-Order evolutionists would truly die if they died.
"Never mind."
Lin Yuan didn't have much thought about advancing to Level Seven Citizen in the short term. He estimated that he might need to create the Seventh Order chapter of the martial evolution path to have a chance of meeting the requirements for advancing to Level Seven Citizen.
"Let's see the latest evaluation of the martial evolution system."
Lin Yuan began to browse information about the martial evolution path.
Every time the Wisdom Goddess re-evaluated the martial evolution path, she would promptly update the information in Lin Yuan's profile.
As for other citizens or evolutionists, they could only see the 'updates' to the martial evolution path after the Evolution Ranking refreshed at dawn.
"The possibility of advancing to the Seventh Order is sixty percent."
"The possibility of advancing to the Eighth Order martial evolution path is twenty percent."
"Not bad."
Chapter 175: Red Kun Main Master: Good disciple, your question is a bit beyond the scope (Seeking Subscriptions)
"Judged completed?"
Lin Yuan smiled.
Each time he returned, he immediately uploaded the subsequent stages of the newly developed martial evolution path to the Wisdom Goddess.
Apart from gaining a large number of merit points as rewards and better spreading the martial evolution path, it was also to use the immense computing power of the Wisdom Goddess to evaluate the potential of the uploaded stages.
The potential of a martial evolution path involves various aspects and is extremely difficult to estimate. The three goddesses, including the Wisdom Goddess, can only make rough calculations.
But that was sufficient.
Among the myriad evolution paths recorded by the Cosmic Human Alliance, the final judgment of the three goddesses had significant reference value.
In simple terms, if the Wisdom Goddess judged a martial evolution path to have low potential, it might not be accurate. However, if she judged it to have high potential, it was almost certainly correct.
"Respected Level Six Citizen Lin Yuan, based on the final judgment, the Sixth Order chapter of the martial evolution path you uploaded is worth four hundred thousand merit points."
"Four hundred thousand merit points?"
Lin Yuan was quite satisfied.
Last time, after 'updating' the martial evolution path and perfecting the Second Order, Third Order, Fourth Order, and Fifth Order chapters, he only received a reward of five hundred thousand merit points.
This time, with just the upload of the Sixth Order chapter, it was worth four hundred thousand merit points, which was already quite high.
It's worth noting that four hundred thousand merit points were equivalent to the value of killing more than half of an Eighth Order alien in the alien battlefield.
In the alien battlefield, killing an Eighth Order alien would typically yield a reward of only one million merit points.
And were Eighth Order alien experts so easy to kill? It was possible to defeat one, but killing one was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
When Lin Yuan scanned the merit points required for a Level Six Citizen to advance to Level Seven Citizen, he shook his head.
Two million merit points were exorbitant. Even Lin Yuan, not to mention other evolutionists, felt a bit overwhelmed.
Most Seven Order evolutionists probably couldn't accumulate such a massive amount of merit points even if they spent tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years in the alien battlefield.
The alien battlefield was extremely dangerous, and evolutionists of the human race could face life-threatening situations at any moment while fighting against alien powerhouses.
Although Level Six and higher evolutionists had the qualification for resurrection, without potential, who would resurrect you? Most Level Six and Seven evolutionists, if they died, were truly dead.
"Never mind."
Lin Yuan didn't have much thought about advancing to Level Seven Citizen in the short term. He estimated that it would be possible only after he created the Seventh Order chapter of the martial evolution path.
"Let's see the latest evaluation of the martial evolution system."
Lin Yuan began to browse the information on the martial evolution path.
Every time the Wisdom Goddess re-evaluated the martial evolution path, she would promptly update Lin Yuan's data on the martial evolution path.
As for other citizens or evolutionists, they could only see the 'updated' changes to the martial evolution path after the evolution rankings refreshed at dawn.
"Probability of advancing to the Seventh Order: 60%"
"Probability of advancing to the Eighth Order martial evolution path: 20%"
"Not bad."
Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
The probability of advancing to the Seventh Order martial evolution path was only 30% before uploading the Sixth Order chapter. The probability of advancing to the Eighth Order martial evolution path was only 10%.
Now, both had doubled.
Especially the probability of advancing to the Eighth Order martial evolution path, which was now at 20%. It was noteworthy that whether a new Eighth Order evolution path was opened up was a key factor judged by the Cosmic Human Alliance to become an evolution scholar.
Now, the martial evolution path had a 20% chance even for the Eighth Order, indicating its terrifying potential.
"Ninth Order evolution path."
Lin Yuan's thoughts diverged. So far, there was no possibility of advancing to the Ninth Order in the martial evolution path.
"Now, where does the martial evolution path rank on the Red Kun Evolution Rankings?"
Lin Yuan continued to watch the updated martial evolution path and clicked on the ranking section.
"Canglan Evolution Rankings: First"
"Red Kun Evolution Rankings: Sixth?"
"Sixth?"
Lin Yuan's heart moved.
Last time, after improving the martial evolution path, making it no longer limited to Taiyin and Taiyang, the martial evolution path's ranking entered the top twelve on the Red Kun Evolution Rankings.
Now, with the upload of the Sixth Order chapter, it directly jumped to the sixth position.
It's worth noting that all the evolution paths in the top ten of the Red Kun Evolution Rankings were Seventh Order evolution paths, with the hope of advancing to the Eighth Order.
And the top three evolution paths in the Red Kun Evolution Rankings were all Eighth Order evolution paths.
In the hundreds of thousands to millions of years of history in the Red Kun Star Region, only three evolution scholars had been born. And these three Eighth Order evolution paths were created by the hands of these three evolution scholars.
The number of evolution scholars was much rarer than Eighth Order evolutionists.
After learning about the ranking of the martial evolution path.
Lin Yuan glanced at the approximate number of martial evolutionists.
"First Order: 97,323 people."
"Second Order: 32,600 people."
"Third Order: 136 people."
"Fourth Order: 0 people."
"Not bad."
"In just over a year, the number of First Order and Second Order evolutionists has increased two to three times."
"Over a hundred evolutionists have started practicing the Third Order."
Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
In the Middle Earth Divine Continent world, after several hundred years of development and his personal guidance, there were only so many martial cultivators.
In the main world, in just a few years, the number of martial evolutionists had reached such a scale.
In terms of growth rate, the main world far exceeded the Middle Earth Divine Continent.
Lin Yuan wasn't surprised by this. Considering external cultivation conditions, the main world was undoubtedly superior to the Middle Earth world.
After all, various high technologies and the existence of high-level evolutionists made cultivation a straightforward matter.
Additionally.
Lin Yuan perfecting the martial evolution path and reaching the twelfth position on the Red Kun Evolution Rankings were also significant factors in the surge of martial evolutionists.
"Still too few."
"I need to speed up a bit."
Lin Yuan considered for a moment, preparing to record a video specifically explaining issues related to martial cultivation.
He had wanted to do this for a long time but never found the time. With the current shuttle concluded, it was a good opportunity to start.
As the founder of the martial evolution path, Lin Yuan's understanding of martial arts was unparalleled in the main world. The instructional videos he recorded on cultivation analysis were as enlightening as divine guidance for other martial evolutionists.
In the virtual world of the Red Kun Main Star, in the central square area, numerous evolutionists gathered. In the Human Alliance, most evolutionists and high-level citizens led quite leisurely lives.
The strength of human civilization and the victories in external wars benefited all members of the human race.
"Ranked twelfth on the Red Kun Evolution Rankings. Just a Fifth Order evolution path, and it can reach twelfth place. What if it advances to the Sixth Order evolution path?"
Since the martial evolution path appeared on the Red Kun Evolution Rankings, discussions in the central square were mainly centered around it. Compared to other evolution paths that had been motionless for hundreds of years, the martial evolution path was too sensational to ignore.
"Sixth Order evolution path? It shouldn't be that easy, right? Even for an Evolution Scholar, it would take some serious contemplation to create the Sixth Order chapter of the current martial evolution path."
Some evolutionists couldn't help but speak up.
The potential of the martial evolution path was too high, and consequently, opening the Sixth Order chapter was exceptionally difficult.
The higher one went, the greater the difficulty became.
For Evolution Scholars, creating a Sixth Order chapter for a common Fifth Order evolution path was not a difficult task. But was the current martial evolution path considered a common Fifth Order evolution path?
Opening a Sixth Order chapter for the martial evolution path, maintaining its standards, was likely much more challenging than creating a Seventh Order chapter for other evolution paths.
"That's not necessarily true."
Another evolutionist spoke.
He had witnessed the martial evolution path's rapid rise in the rankings. Every time the ranking improved, many people would loudly declare it impossible.
But in the end? Weren't these people harshly slapped in the face?
So now, many evolutionists had become wise and refrained from expressing their opinions in advance.
To avoid being embarrassed.
"But to be honest, opening a Sixth Order chapter is not an easy task. The martial path is starting too high now."
After observing for a while, a few evolutionists couldn't help but speak up.
Just then, it was dawn.
The rankings on the Red Kun Evolution Rankings began to 'update.'
The names of a hundred evolution paths were blurry for a moment.
Then quickly became clear.
"Oh my god." Some evolutionists lost control of their emotions.
Others looked up with extremely complex expressions—shock, confirmation, disbelief, and how could this be?
Because the martial evolution path, originally in twelfth place, had disappeared.
In its place was the evolution path that had been eleventh.
As for the martial evolution path, it had entered the top ten, specifically ranking sixth.
"Surging into the top ten?"
"Still sixth?"
"This is too fast."
"Did they update the Sixth Order chapter?"
Numerous evolutionists murmured to each other.
Most evolutionists, having experienced several 'transitions' of the martial evolution path before, were somewhat immune to surprises.
However, there were still some newcomers among the evolutionists who were extremely shocked. After all, this was a change in the top ten rankings of the Red Kun Evolution Rankings.
"Let me see what breakthroughs the Sixth Order chapter uploaded by Master Yuan involves."
Some evolutionists didn't hesitate to purchase the content of the Sixth Order chapter of the martial evolution path.
Before Lin Yuan uploaded the Sixth Order chapter, the pricing for this chapter was fifty billion.
However, in the eyes of many powerful evolutionists, fifty billion was nothing. Considering the immense potential of the martial evolution path, spending fifty billion to purchase the Sixth Order chapter was entirely worthwhile.
Perhaps through this Sixth Order chapter, they could have a breakthrough in their practiced evolution path, leading to further advancements. This was something that couldn't be bought with any amount of civilization coins.
"The Sixth Order chapter not only involves a significant improvement in life transformation, physical, spiritual, and soul aspects but also delves deeper into the physical body. There is a possibility of giving birth to a physical body divine ability?"
"Physical body divine ability? Can we humans have such innate talents like those aliens?"
"I see. Deep within the human bloodline, there are many hidden pieces of information and abilities."
"These pieces of information and abilities are extremely rare. Normally, they should never manifest."
"But the Sixth Order chapter of the martial evolution path uses some special means to amplify the information and abilities hidden deep within the bloodline."
"It's unbelievable."
"I remember several evolution scholars specifically researching the power inherited from the depths of the human bloodline."
"At that time, the conclusion was that it could only be stimulated through blood density potions. However, blood density potions have significant risks and are highly valuable, making them impractical for widespread use."
"But the Sixth Order chapter of the martial evolution path."
Many evolutionists discussed animatedly.
Clearly, they were very interested in physical body divine abilities.
These were powers originating from the depths of the flesh and blood.
Each person's physical body divine ability was unique, with significant randomness.
"I've decided. I'm going to switch to the martial evolution path, if for nothing else, just for this physical body divine ability."
A Fifth Order evolutionist stood up and spoke seriously.
As long as they weren't at the Sixth Order, with some cost, they could transfer to other evolution paths.
Of course.
The cost here was substantial, perhaps the wealth accumulated over hundreds or thousands of years for a Fourth or Fifth Order evolutionist.
But still, many evolutionists decided to switch to the martial evolution path.
After all, considering the potential demonstrated by the current martial evolution path, joining wouldn't be a mistake.
Not long after Lin Yuan came out.
After adjusting for a while, he applied for the Red Spirit Liquid to restore his strength.
Although Lin Yuan still had doubts about the Seventh Order, restoring to the peak of the Sixth Order first and seeing which kind of physical body divine ability would be born was still feasible.
"Thirteenth Peak Master."
"The Red Spirit Liquid will be delivered to you in an hour."
"Good disciple, you've been in seclusion for four months. You should have stabilized at the Sixth Order realm by now. Come over now, and you can talk about any issues you encountered during your cultivation. Master can still help with some advice."
At this moment, the Red Kun Star Master sent Lin Yuan a message.
During Lin Yuan's travels, he had been staying deep within the Thirteenth Peak Palace, openly publicizing his seclusion. This was not a secret, and the Red Kun Star Master was naturally aware.
Now that Lin Yuan had come out, even chatting with a few senior brothers for a while, the Red Kun Star Master was equally informed.
"Yes."
Lin Yuan immediately responded.
He held great respect for the Red Kun Star Master, not only due to the latter's strength but also because of the genuine care the Star Master showed him.
Soon after, Lin Yuan arrived at the crimson palace where the Red Kun Star Master resided.
The Red Kun Star Master sat high on the main seat, his gaze towards Lin Yuan filled with praise.
When Lin Yuan first arrived at the Red Kun Main Star, he did nothing but seclude himself for half a year. Such enthusiastic cultivation actions had caught the attention of the Red Kun Star Master.
"Teacher."
Lin Yuan slightly bowed towards the Red Kun Star Master.
"Get up, get up."
The Red Kun Star Master quickly said.
"Have you encountered any problems in your cultivation?"
The Red Kun Star Master eagerly inquired.
"Cultivation issues." Lin Yuan's mind stirred.
He was indeed facing a bottleneck in comprehending the rules of space.
In this regard, he could seek guidance from the Red Kun Star Master.
The Red Kun Star Master's main body was the Star Sea Roaming Kun.
Star Sea Roaming Kuns could devour all things and were the darlings of the universe's spatial rules.
Each Star Sea Roaming Kun could reach a highly advanced realm in the comprehension of spatial rules, a natural talent they possessed.
The Red Kun Star Master presumably had high attainments in spatial rules.
"Teacher."
"I do have some issues in my cultivation."
Lin Yuan immediately spoke.
"Good."
"Disciple, speak quickly."
The Red Kun Star Master, upon hearing this, was actually delighted.
Lin Yuan had excellent aptitude. From the time he became a disciple until now, the Red Kun Star Master hadn't earnestly given him any guidance.
Finally, the opportunity had come.
"It's like this."
Lin Yuan thought for a moment. "I've been contemplating the 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, forming various model patterns.
There were cube shapes, two-dimensional spatial shapes, strange black hole shapes, and infinitely thin paper shapes.
Strands of spatial power interwove continuously in front of Lin Yuan, finally coming to a stop when the eight hundred and seventy-sixth model was formed.
"Teacher, I'm a bit confused about the eight hundred and seventy-sixth model of the space rules."
Lin Yuan looked towards the Red Kun Star Master on the high seat.
"The nine hundred and sixty-five models of space rules?"
The Red Kun Star Master's mouth twitched slightly.
Wasn't this something that Seventh Order evolutionists started comprehending? Lin Yuan, who just reached the Sixth Order, was already contemplating them? Moreover, he had comprehended over half, a level that many Seventh Order evolutionists couldn't reach.
The Red Kun Star Master carefully observed the continuous interweaving of spatial power in front of Lin Yuan, then looked at Lin Yuan, back to the continuously interweaving spatial power, and again at Lin Yuan.
"Good disciple, your confusion about this."
The Red Kun Star Master thought for a moment, hesitated, and then stopped speaking.
