Chapter 229: Guidance and Plan (Seeking Subscriptions)
"What does Lord Mo Li mean?"
Feng Yu, seeing Mo Li leaving without hesitation, felt a vague sense of unease.
In terms of background, he was far inferior to Mo Li, coming from a force that once produced a sixth-tier Falling Star. However, Feng Yu was not foolish; he understood that the Thirteen Peaks' Master had the strongest talent and was most favored by the Lord of the Crimson Kun Star.
After all, he was a junior disciple.
But what did that matter? The strength of talent and the ability to teach disciples were not directly connected. Many star alliances in human civilization had many invincible eighth-tier existences, but the Lord of the Crimson Kun Star was unique because of his expertise in teaching disciples.
The Grand Peak Master's talent was not as great as the Thirteen Peaks Master's, but he had followed the Star Master the longest and had already reached the eighth tier. Soon, he would be presiding over the star region, becoming the new Star Master.
The Grand Peak Master he chose might be surpassed by the Thirteen Peaks Master in the long years to come, but at least for now, Feng Yu's choice was absolutely correct.
However, when Feng Yu saw Mo Li's inquisitive tone and the astonishment he revealed when learning of his choice of the Grand Peak Master, his thoughts began to waver.
Mo Li, being a Crimson Stripe, with a mysterious background and immense knowledge, should know many things Feng Yu was unaware of. Did he make the wrong choice?
Doubts began to creep into Feng Yu's mind.
He looked at the number 'One' on the cuff of his sleeve. This number was the mark of the Thirteen Peaks Master, unchangeable once it appeared. Perhaps the Crimson Stripe candidates could change it, but he, a Golden Stripe, had no possibility.
After all, it involved the face of the Thirteen Peaks Masters.
Before entering the thirteen great gates, the candidates could make their own choices. But once inside, the decision was final.
"I don't believe I made the wrong choice."
"Even if the Thirteen Peaks Master has exceptional talent, to advance to the eighth tier will still take a considerable amount of time, perhaps thousands or even tens of thousands of years."
"My choice is correct until then."
"Even the strongest seventh tier is still a seventh tier, unable to compare with the eighth tier."
Feng Yu calmed down and felt that Mo Li deliberately did this to shake his mentality.
After a while, Feng Yu and many other candidates entered the first peak together to meet the Grand Peak Master.
"Greetings, Peak Master."
Dozens of evolutionaries respectfully bowed to the Grand Peak Master.
"Get up."
The Grand Peak Master was indifferent.
Among these candidates, only the Crimson Stripe could get him to look more than once. As for the Golden Stripes, those chosen to join the first peak were all Golden Stripes.
In the outside world, a Golden Stripe was an unparalleled genius on a single planet, but here, they were just starting.
"Grand Peak Master?"
Feng Yu glanced at the Grand Peak Master.
"I gave up on the Thirteen Peaks Master and chose the Grand Peak Master. Maybe I'll be treated differently?" Feng Yu thought secretly, with a hint of anticipation in his heart.
However, to his disappointment, the Grand Peak Master never looked at him more than once from beginning to end. Like other candidates, after listening to the Grand Peak Master's advice, he was taken outside.
"Is there no other treatment?"
Feng Yu's heart was not feeling good.
"Well, it's not a problem."
"The Grand Peak Master is an eighth-tier evolutionary. There are many days ahead."
"Definitely better than choosing the Thirteen Peaks Master."
Feng Yu consoled himself.
Virtual world of the Thirteen Peaks.
Mo Li and Wu Lan nervously entered the main hall. Upon seeing Lin Yuan, they respectfully bowed and said, "Greetings, Peak Master."
Lin Yuan sat on the high seat, overlooking these two young candidates.
One was eighty-seven years old, and the other was sixty-nine.
Evolutionaries participating in the arena matches were all under a hundred years old, with many being ninety-eight or ninety-nine, trying their luck with their last chance.
Although Lin Yuan was younger than these two candidates, his real age was much older due to the time spent traversing worlds.
"There aren't many people in the Thirteen Peaks. Since you can be chosen by me, you are now part of the Thirteen Peaks." Lin Yuan looked at the two and began to speak.
"Yes."
Mo Li and Wu Lan were excited and quickly replied.
Especially Wu Lan, she hadn't expected herself, a Silver Stripe candidate, to be directly chosen by the Peak Master, and that too, the renowned Thirteen Peaks Master.
"Upon joining the Thirteen Peaks, I will give you guidance."
Lin Yuan looked at Mo Li and said, "Mo Li, condense the 'Heart of Battle.' You have a talent for combat and fighting, don't resist it."
"Alright."
Mo Li immediately let go of all defenses.
Hum.
Lin Yuan's consciousness immediately began to explore Mo Li's body.
Although Mo Li's body at this moment was not his true body, the virtual world's one-to-one replication made no difference from the real body.
Lin Yuan carefully observed Mo Li's physical and spiritual body and began to comprehend it based on Mo Li's expertise in the aspect of combat.
[Your comprehension is extraordinary, and you've comprehended an unknown evolutionary technique corresponding to the physical and spiritual body.]
In just over a dozen breaths, Lin Yuan created an evolutionary technique entirely tailored to Mo Li.
This evolutionary technique, specifically for Mo Li, might not have much effect on other evolutionaries, but for Mo Li, it was a guiding light for the present and the future.
It could correct Mo Li's path and even help him go further in the future.
Lin Yuan withdrew his consciousness and looked at Mo Li.
"Peak Master?"
Mo Li opened his eyes, somewhat uneasy, and asked.
"I have a technique that is quite suitable for you."
Lin Yuan, with a slight movement of his mind, transmitted the evolutionary technique he had just comprehended to Mo Li's mind.
Comprehending this technique did not consume much of Lin Yuan's energy, as it did not need widespread dissemination. It could be tailored based on Mo Li's circumstances.
Moreover, Lin Yuan was currently at the pinnacle of the seventh tier, while Mo Li was only at the fourth tier. In this grand scheme of things, it was relatively simple and effortless.
"This technique?"
Mo Li browsed through the evolutionary techniques flooding out of Lin Yuan's mind and was instantly amazed.
He could feel that this technique was extremely compatible with him, as if it were tailor-made.
This is simply unbelievable.
You should know that evolutionary techniques, while not as crucial to evolution as evolutionary paths, have a significant impact on evolutionists. However, choosing the right evolutionary technique that suits oneself can often have a multiplier effect on results.
Yet, with countless evolutionary techniques available, selecting one that perfectly fits oneself is a massive challenge. Each evolutionist's situation is different, with varying experiences and physical constitutions. Even for an eighth-tier invincible figure like Star Master Chikun, selecting a suitable evolutionary technique for disciples requires time for observation.
Even so, the ultimately chosen evolutionary technique may not completely align with oneself. Finding an evolutionary technique that perfectly fits oneself often requires luck.
However, Mo Li felt that the evolutionary technique bestowed upon him by the Thirteen Peaks Master was a perfect match.
This left him utterly incredulous.
"I was wrong. The outside world thinks that the Thirteen Peaks Master is only a freak with extraordinary talent, but now, seeing the methods of teaching disciples, it's... "
Mo Li was excited internally, but couldn't find the words to describe it. To observe him for a while and then select an evolutionary technique that perfectly suits him exceeds common sense.
What Mo Li didn't know was that this technique was not selected by Lin Yuan. It was spontaneously comprehended based on the state of his physical and spiritual body.
"This technique is my secret transmission within the Thirteen Peaks. Do not spread it." Lin Yuan reminded Mo Li when he saw him in a daze.
"Yes."
"Thank you for the great kindness, Peak Master."
Mo Li immediately realized and knelt down to kowtow. The most important aspect of a teacher guiding a disciple is guidance, and Lin Yuan selecting an evolutionary technique perfectly suited to his own situation is a great favor.
Mo Li was well aware of the favor bestowed upon him by Lin Yuan.
"Good."
Lin Yuan nodded and looked at Wu Lan beside him.
"Peak Master." Wu Lan immediately called out nervously.
Mo Li's performance made her feel uneasy. As the most ordinary Silver Stripe candidate, facing someone like Mo Li, who was a Crimson Stripe, was already under great pressure. Now, seeing the other's excited expression, looking like he had achieved great insight, Wu Lan was even more puzzled.
"Are you cultivating the martial path evolutionary path?" Lin Yuan asked Wu Lan, opening his mouth.
By watching the video of Wu Lan's trials in the Seven-Star Cave world, Lin Yuan knew the path she had taken.
Of course, Wu Lan's ultimate choice of the rule direction was not Yin and Yang but the water rule within the basic five elements.
"Yes."
Wu Lan immediately responded.
The martial path evolutionary path was popular in the Star Region of Chikun, although there weren't many powerful practitioners, as it had only emerged recently.
"Water moistens all things without making a sound. Your future path should be based on the water rule, comprehend the other four forms: metal, wood, fire, and earth."
After some thought, Lin Yuan, as the founder of the martial path, probably understood martial arts better than any other evolutionist. He immediately formulated a follow-up training plan for Wu Lan.
At the same time, Lin Yuan pointed his right finger and transmitted an evolutionary technique guiding Wu Lan's cultivation to her mind. If Wu Lan could reach a certain depth in comprehending the rules of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and also make progress in spatial rules and comprehend basic spatial models by the time she reached the sixth tier, she would have a chance to open a small world of the five elements at the sixth-tier pinnacle. However, Lin Yuan felt that, given Wu Lan's displayed talent and qualifications, achieving this would be challenging.
If not the sixth tier, then the seventh tier with the five elements and spatial rules would probably be more feasible. Lin Yuan believed that there should be no major issues with Wu Lan's future path.
"This..."
Wu Lan widened her eyes. The evolutionary technique that Lin Yuan transmitted to her mind was like a pearl, full of profound evolutionary principles.
At this moment, Wu Lan finally understood why Mo Li, as a Crimson Stripe candidate, had that kind of expression. It was the excitement of seeing his future path, akin to the sentiment of "hearing the Dao in the morning and dying contentedly in the evening."
"Thank you for guiding, Peak Master."
Wu Lan also knelt down without hesitation, kowtowing.
"Alright."
"Both of you, practice well."
Lin Yuan waved his hand, instructing the two to leave.
Only after Mo Li and Wu Lan left did Lin Yuan retract his gaze.
"I hope you two don't disappoint me," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Red Kun Main Star.
Deep within the Thirteen Peaks' grand hall.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, observing the 'Demon Jade Mark' imprinted on his soul.
"This Demon Jade Mark connects to that mysterious space."
Lin Yuan's thoughts expanded, vaguely discovering the existence of a vast and mysterious space through the 'Demon Jade Mark.'
This mysterious space was completely sealed, and even perceivers couldn't enter it. Only those with the Demon Jade Mark as the key could explore it.
"In fact, the many evolutionaries of the current human civilization, comprehending the evolution paths contained within the body, this method is not wrong."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
To condense the Demon Jade Mark, there were two ways.
One was like Lin Yuan, comprehending 3,333 evolution paths.
The second was to choose one evolution path for cultivation, continually perfecting and supplementing it. Eventually, this would also lead to condensing the Demon Jade Mark.
Currently, most evolutionaries in human civilization were following the second method.
However, so far, no one had succeeded. Most evolutionaries ended up failing completely.
As for the first method, Lin Yuan had extraordinary comprehension abilities, something challenging for the evolutionaries of the Human Alliance to replicate.
"Better tell the Goddess of Wisdom, at least to provide an additional option."
Lin Yuan made a decision after some contemplation.
According to the rules set by the three goddesses, any contribution to the Human Alliance would be rewarded with merit points.
The Human Alliance would not mistreat any evolutionary who made a contribution.
"Goddess of Wisdom."
Lin Yuan directly connected to the Goddess of Wisdom.
"Respected Level-7 citizen Lin Yuan, the Goddess of Wisdom is delighted to serve you."
The solemn and cool voice of the Goddess of Wisdom came through.
"I have information about the body from the large extraterrestrial battlefield," Lin Yuan immediately said.
At this, there was a noticeable silence from the Goddess of Wisdom.
Evidently, she hadn't anticipated Lin Yuan mentioning this. Moreover, it involved information about the body of an outsider powerhouse?
"Level-7 citizen Lin Yuan, please continue."
The Goddess of Wisdom responded.
Lin Yuan could sense the seriousness in the Goddess of Wisdom's tone. He even had a feeling that her primary consciousness had descended at this moment.
"I don't know the specifics."
"I only know that there are two ways to comprehend the secrets within that body. One is to cultivate and comprehend the evolution paths and follow them to the end."
"The second is not to cultivate any specific evolution path but to comprehend all 3,333 evolution paths within that body."
Lin Yuan concealed the information about the Demon Jade Mark and the Demon Jade Tower.
Before confirming which force the Demon Jade Tower belonged to, Lin Yuan felt it was better not to reveal this information.
Anyway, he had already given the method, which was sufficient for his identity as a human.
"Level-7 citizen Lin Yuan, please wait."
After the Goddess of Wisdom responded, she fell silent.
Lin Yuan understood that the Goddess of Wisdom was verifying the authenticity of the information he provided.
The three goddesses were not fools. Lin Yuan couldn't just say anything and expect them to believe it. They would surely conduct a preliminary verification.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 230: Eighth Level (Seeking Subscriptions)
"I wonder how many merit points this piece of information is worth."
Lin Yuan was somewhat hopeful. Ever since he tasted the privileges of a Level-7 citizen, Lin Yuan wanted to advance to a Level-8 citizen as quickly as possible.
In this era, there was only one Level-8 citizen in the entire Annan Star Alliance, and that was the Speaker of the Star Alliance.
Facing a Level-8 citizen, even powerhouses like the Red Kun Star Lord and the Nine Dragons Star Lord, both eighth-level invincibles, had to show respect.
Unfortunately, promoting from a Level-6 citizen to a Level-7 citizen was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Promoting from a Level-7 citizen to a Level-8 citizen was even more challenging.
At least, the Red Kun Star Lord had killed countless extraterrestrial powerhouses, but still hadn't accumulated enough merit points to advance to a Level-8 citizen. Even many evolutionary scholars who opened up a complete eighth-level evolution path were not Level-8 citizens.
Lin Yuan knew that the information he provided wouldn't be enough to fill the merit points required for him to advance to a Level-8 citizen.
But it could, to some extent, reduce the difficulty of his future promotion to Level 8.
One hour later, the voice of the Goddess of Wisdom rang out again.
"Respected Level-7 citizen Lin Yuan, after evaluating the information you provided, it is valued at 1.5 million merit points. Would you like to receive it now?"
"1.5 million merit points?" A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
For creating the Seventh-Level Path of Martial Arts, Lin Yuan had earned only three million merit points. Now, a single piece of information was worth half of the Seventh-Level Path of Martial Arts?
"Proceed," Lin Yuan said, satisfied.
It's important to note that the information Lin Yuan provided sounded like it helped human civilization's evolutionaries discover another way to comprehend the body. However, it was just a facade. How many evolutionaries could achieve comprehending 3,333 evolution paths? The difficulty of this method far exceeded that of directly cultivating a specific evolution path.
Therefore, the Goddess of Wisdom's evaluation of this piece of information at 1.5 million merit points exceeded Lin Yuan's expectations.
This was similar to evolution paths. If an evolution path reached the ninth or tenth level, or even higher, its value would be immeasurable. However, if the prerequisite was added that it couldn't be cultivated, its value would undoubtedly plummet. Lin Yuan's provided information was similar. At least for now, there was no evolutionary who could comprehend all 3,333 evolution paths. Even if someone achieved it in the future, it would take a long time.
With Lin Yuan's agreement, 1.5 million merit points were deposited into his account.
"However, if merely perfecting and completing one evolution path, and reaching the end of it, can be achieved by powerhouses, logically, these powerhouses should have already condensed the Demon Jade Mark and know the method I mentioned."
Lin Yuan suddenly realized.
"Perhaps the conditions for powerhouses to condense the Demon Jade Mark are different from ours?"
Lin Yuan speculated. The existence of powerhouses at such a level should find it relatively easy to perfect and complete an incorrect evolution path. Based on the difficulty of becoming an ordinary member of the Demon Jade Tower, the test for powerhouses should be higher. Or perhaps, the starting point for powerhouses upon joining the Demon Jade Tower is not that of an ordinary member.
Several days later, Lin Yuan opened the cosmic starmap of the current territory of human civilization.
"The senior brother's chosen star region to preside over is located at the southeast edge of the territory of human civilization, where it connects with other powerful groups."
Chapter 230: Eighth Tier (Seeking Subscriptions)
"I wonder how many merit points this information is worth."
Lin Yuan was somewhat hopeful, especially since experiencing the privileges of a Level-7 citizen. He wanted to advance to a Level-8 citizen as soon as possible. In the entire Annan Star Alliance, the only Level-8 citizen in this era was the Chief Parliamentarian.
Facing a Level-8 citizen, even invincible beings like the Red Kun Star Lord and the Nine Dragon Star Lord had to show respect. Unfortunately, advancing from a Level-6 citizen to a Level-7 citizen was incredibly challenging, and advancing from a Level-7 citizen to a Level-8 citizen was even more formidable.
At least, the Red Kun Star Lord, who had killed countless extraterrestrial powerhouses, had not accumulated enough merit points to advance to a Level-8 citizen. Even the evolutionary scholars who opened up a complete eighth-tier evolutionary path did not necessarily become Level-8 citizens.
Lin Yuan knew that the information he provided wouldn't be enough to fill the merit points required for his promotion to Level-8 citizen. However, it could somewhat reduce the difficulty of his future advancement.
One hour later, the voice of the Goddess of Wisdom echoed again.
"Respected Level-7 citizen Lin Yuan, after evaluating the information you provided, its value is 1.5 million merit points. Would you like them to be disbursed now?"
"1.5 million merit points?" A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face. Creating the Seventh Tier of Martial Arts had only earned him three million merit points. Now, a single piece of information was worth half of the Seventh Tier of Martial Arts?
"Disburse," Lin Yuan said, satisfied. This information, seemingly helpful for human civilization evolutionaries to find another way to comprehend the body, was, after all, just a concept. How many evolutionaries could actually achieve it? Comprehending 3,333 evolution paths was a daunting task, much more challenging than directly cultivating a single evolution path.
Therefore, the Goddess of Wisdom's evaluation of the information at 1.5 million merit points exceeded Lin Yuan's expectations. It was similar to the evaluation of evolutionary paths. If an evolutionary path reached the ninth or tenth tier or even higher, its value would be immeasurable. However, with the premise of 'impossible to cultivate' before this evolutionary path, its value would inevitably drop. Lin Yuan's provided information was the same. At least, at the current stage, no evolutionary could comprehend all 3,333 evolution paths. Even if someone managed it in the future, it would take a long time.
With Lin Yuan's approval, 1.5 million merit points were credited to his account.
"However, if merely cultivating a specific evolutionary path to perfection and reaching the end can be done by powerhouses, logically, the powerhouses should have already condensed the Demon Jade Mark and known the method I mentioned."
Lin Yuan suddenly realized. "Perhaps the conditions for powerhouses to condense the Demon Jade Mark are different from ours?"
Lin Yuan speculated that powerhouses, given their existence, might find it easier than comprehending and perfecting a single flawed evolutionary path. Based on the difficulty of becoming a regular member of the Demon Jade Tower, the test for powerhouses should be higher. Or perhaps, powerhouses, once joining the Demon Jade Tower, didn't start as regular members.
Several days later, Lin Yuan opened the cosmic star map of the current human civilization territory.
"The senior brother's chosen territory to preside over is located at the southeastern edge of the human civilization territory, adjacent to other powerful factions."
Lin Yuan had long learned from the senior brother where the upcoming presiding territory was.
The newly opened territory of human civilization was not like the Red Kun Star Domain, which had been operating for hundreds of thousands of years and was considered an old nest with little danger. The border territories were just opened, and due to their proximity to the extraterrestrial, many places were still uncleared. Various special life forms and cosmic mysteries lurked there, waiting for the star lords to handle.
A newly promoted eighth-tier evolutionary needed to preside over a star territory for five hundred years. It wasn't about enjoying luxury; it was genuinely required for fighting for human civilization.
"The senior brother's choice is good, at least not bordering peak factions."
Lin Yuan thought to himself. Just bordering a few powerful factions made it highly secure, as powerful factions rarely dared to antagonize human civilization. Not to mention targeting a star lord; if they attacked today, the next day, the nest of that powerful faction would be wiped out by human civilization.
But peak factions were different.
Of course, normally, the various peak factions of human civilization showed a lot of restraint towards each other. The turmoil in the last extraterrestrial battlefield was due to the insect race seeking a powerful evolutionary path.
So, it almost flipped the table. A powerful evolutionary path that had produced a fallen powerhouse could birth a new powerhouse. A new powerhouse could completely change the overall situation of the alliance of many peak factions.
The insect race, naturally, ignored everything.
Even so, after the incident, the insect race alliance faced retribution from human civilization. Many powerful factions within the alliance suffered heavy losses, and the ancestral nest of the Black Abyss clan was even obliterated by a tenth.
When it came to the birth of powerhouses, insect races and other peak factions dared to face off against human civilization. Still, concerning other aspects, there was no need.
Although they infiltrated each other, assassinations of geniuses from opposing factions generally remained within a certain range.
"When I reach the eighth tier, I'll also need to choose a star territory to preside over."
Lin Yuan had communicated multiple times with his senior brother, appearing to be caring but mainly for himself. After all, Lin Yuan was just a hair's breadth away from the eighth tier. Since condensing the Demon Jade Mark, his spiritual will index had soared to over nine thousand eight hundred.
Just a step away from the ten thousand points milestone.
As soon as the spiritual will index reached ten thousand points, Lin Yuan could directly step into the eighth tier.
"When the time comes, my main body will go to preside over a star territory, and the Yin God will stay on the extraterrestrial battlefield to comprehend the permanent spatial rifts. The Yang God will stay on the Red Kun Main Star, leaving behind a drop of essence."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
The main body had the strongest strength, and going to preside over a star territory required sweeping all forces. Even if there were accidents and the main body fell, relying on the divine ability 'Blood Drop Rebirth,' the drop of essence left on the Red Kun Main Star could rapidly grow, 'returning' in the most perfect state.
There was simply no need for the Yin and Yang Gods to develop physical means.
Of course, to minimize losses, the main body going to preside over the star territory couldn't carry any treasures. If the main body died and lost treasures, Lin Yuan would still feel regretful.
The physical body could be reborn, but treasures couldn't.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it."
Lin Yuan pondered for a while, shaking his head slightly.
According to the data of the Human Civilization Alliance, the mortality rate of newly promoted eighth-tier evolutionaries presiding over border star territories was very low. Ordinary eighth-tier evolutionaries were generally like this, not to mention Lin Yuan,
who could crush most eighth-tier evolutionaries when he was at the seventh tier. When he advanced to the eighth tier, his strength would undergo a significant transformation. By then, he would probably be comparable to those peak eighth-tier powerhouses.
Virtual world.
Inside a tavern.
This tavern was only open to evolutionaries of Level-7 or higher, serving as a relatively high-level communication place for advanced evolutionaries within human civilization.
Lin Yuan sat in a corner, chatting casually with Gao Wufeng.
Recently, Gao Wufeng had almost fallen into devilish cultivation while comprehending the evolutionary path he had derived from that body. He was nearly consumed by it. Luckily, the teacher, the Nine Sword Star Lord, promptly suppressed him, and he had barely recovered recently.
"I finally understand why you, the Thirteenth Peak Lord, didn't cultivate the evolutionary path within that body initially. It turns out you were taking the second approach."
Gao Wufeng suddenly realized.
Not long ago, the Goddess of Wisdom announced again that besides directly cultivating, there was another way to comprehend that body, which involved understanding a certain number of evolutionary paths.
The Goddess of Wisdom specifically emphasized that this method was too difficult, so it wasn't disclosed immediately. Only a few talented evolutionaries were selected for 'testing.'
Now that there are no issues confirmed, the information is publicly announced.
"Hahaha," Lin Yuan shook his head with a smile. The Goddess of Wisdom did think quite considerately. This way, she unintentionally hid Lin Yuan's identity.
"I understand. When it comes to such secrets, Master Thirteen, you can't casually talk to outsiders," Gao Wufeng immediately expressed understanding.
"But this method is too outrageous. Comprehending a certain number of evolutionary paths? Under that spiritual will pressure, maintaining rationality is challenging, let alone comprehending one evolutionary path after another?" Gao Wufeng shook his head, expressing helplessness.
Indeed, this method is extremely safe.
At least, the spiritual will won't be affected by the wrong evolutionary path. But it's practically impossible. If you don't cultivate and comprehend the evolutionary paths, you'll continue to be suppressed by the spiritual will.
This suppression doesn't increase gradually but depends on the strength of the evolutionary's spiritual will. Even if your spiritual will index reaches twenty thousand points, it will quickly reach the limit under that spiritual will pressure.
Then, it depends on how long you can hold on.
Before Lin Yuan comprehended that body, his spiritual will index was only a bit over seven thousand points. After a few years of comprehension, it was almost close to ten thousand points.
Under the seemingly endless spiritual will pressure, it was also a kind of tempering for his own spiritual will.
"I haven't comprehended many paths."
Lin Yuan nodded. The evolutionary paths contained in that body, he hasn't seen the end until now. Just comprehending over three thousand kinds is like a drop in the bucket.
"Master Thirteen, you're being modest again."
Gao Wufeng looked at Lin Yuan with some helplessness.
At the same time, he was also thinking, how many kinds? Saying this implies that Master Thirteen has comprehended at least five or six kinds of evolutionary paths, maybe even close to ten?
After chatting with Gao Wufeng for a while, Lin Yuan returned to the virtual world to comprehend that body again.
"The Goddess of Wisdom actually made the second method public?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Just thinking about it, Lin Yuan understood. Even if this method is made public, what can be done? As long as the specific number of evolutionary paths needed to reach the goal is not revealed, even if the extraterrestrials know, it's meaningless.
Sometimes, the goal is crucial. If you don't know how many evolutionary paths you need to comprehend, those extraterrestrial powerhouses will hardly persist. After all, the spiritual will pressure from the body is a kind of extreme torture. In unfavorable conditions, the speed of comprehension will significantly decrease.
Lin Yuan stumbled upon it. Originally, he didn't intend to comprehend the ultimate evolutionary path; he just wanted to hone his spiritual will.
And with the blessing of the extraordinary comprehension, he quickly comprehended over three thousand three hundred thirty-three kinds and finally condensed the Demon Jade Mark, understanding everything.
Others? Almost couldn't hold on.
"Continue to comprehend."
Lin Yuan's thoughts converged as he looked again at that body under the sky.
Although Lin Yuan is now an ordinary member of the Demon Jade Tower, since there are ordinary members, there are also core and even higher-level members.
If more evolutionary paths are comprehended, can it lead to an increase in status within the Demon Jade Tower?
Most importantly, comprehending the evolutionary paths within the body is greatly beneficial to Lin Yuan. After analysis, he can integrate the essence part into himself.
Moreover, it can continue to enhance his own spiritual will.
It's like hitting three birds with one stone.
Lin Yuan naturally doesn't want to give up.
Even if he advances to the eighth tier soon, he won't abandon this place.
And so it goes.
Lin Yuan immersed himself in contemplation once again.
One day, two days.
One month, two months.
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.
Buzz.
Under the endless pressure of mental will, Lin Yuan's resolve seemed to reach its limit, and the outer edges began to crumble.
"Hold on, hold on."
Lin Yuan persisted.
After an unknown amount of time passed, it felt like he entered a certain confinement.
Lin Yuan's mental will began to undergo a transformation. Originally a mere illusion, it now emitted a profound light, resembling something tangible.
"Exhale."
Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
In that brief moment, he almost couldn't hold on.
Fortunately, he didn't give up in the end.
"My current mental will."
Lin Yuan noticed that his mental will had significantly improved compared to before, taking an important step from illusion to reality.
"Let's see how much my mental will index has increased now."
Lin Yuan disconnected from the virtual world, took a half-day break in reality, and entered his personal space in the most perfect state.
"Wisdom Goddess, I request a measurement of my mental will index."
Lin Yuan connected directly to the Wisdom Goddess.
"Respected Level-7 citizen Lin Yuan, without using any bodily or soul power, just rely on your own mental consciousness to impact the surroundings."
The solemn and cold voice of the Wisdom Goddess echoed.
Lin Yuan complied, and a massive mental will pressure swept over the surroundings. Distortions occurred even in the air.
After a moment.
The voice of the Wisdom Goddess echoed once again.
"Respected Level-7 citizen Lin Yuan, after the test, your current mental will index is approximately around eleven thousand two hundred."
"This much increase?" Lin Yuan's spirit was invigorated.
Ten thousand was the threshold for smoothly overcoming the mental tribulation. Similarly, after reaching ten thousand, the difficulty of further improvement would skyrocket.
For Lin Yuan to achieve over eleven thousand mental will index as a Level-7 evolutionary was truly unimaginable in the history of human civilization.
"Mental will index surpassing ten thousand."
Lin Yuan's thoughts focused, and he made a decision.
"With everything ready, let's directly start breaking through to the eighth tier."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 231: Heart Demon Tribulation (Seeking Subscriptions)
Lin Yuan's mental will index reached over eleven thousand points.
Overcoming the Heart Demon Tribulation was relatively easy.
However, for the sake of caution and to prevent extreme situations, Lin Yuan decided to face the Heart Demon Tribulation while traveling through the worlds.
For over two million years in the Star Sea calendar, various evolutionary scholars of human civilization had conducted detailed research on the Heart Demon Tribulation.
Some scholars believed that the 'Heart Demon' faced when breaking through the eighth tier came from external sources, the condensed negative emotions of countless beings.
Other scholars believed that the so-called 'Heart Demon' originated from the obsessions of the evolutionary individual.
The specific cause remained inconclusive.
Lin Yuan's choice to face the Heart Demon while traversing the worlds was aimed at the first scenario, where the Heart Demon came from external sources. If he sensed something amiss and couldn't overcome it, he could use the Door of Myriad Realms to escape back to the main world. Even with a powerful Heart Demon, it couldn't cross dimensional boundaries to pursue him in the main world.
Of course, with Lin Yuan's current mental will index exceeding eleven thousand points, he didn't think such a situation would occur. However, it was always wise to have a backup plan.
"Let's begin."
Lin Yuan immersed his consciousness deep into his mind, gazing at the majestic Door of Myriad Realms.
"The current Boundary Breaking Source Power has accumulated to seven strands."
Lin Yuan checked the quantity of Boundary Breaking Source Power. With the constant accumulation during Yin Shen's presence on the battlefield of the foreign races near the permanent spatial crack, it only took two hundred and ninety days to gather one strand of Boundary Breaking Source Power.
"Spending one strand of Boundary Breaking Source Power for peace of mind isn't a loss."
Lin Yuan thought to himself. This time, his primary goal for traversing was to overcome the Heart Demon Tribulation. As for continuing cultivation, understanding the rules, perfecting the martial evolution path—all of that could wait.
"Traverse."
Lin Yuan directly consumed one strand of Boundary Breaking Source Power, and his will surged into the Door of Myriad Realms.
"This old man doesn't weigh much altogether."
"At least we have something, enough to make soup."
"Well, that's it. But the girl I saw today is really pure and lively."
"What's the use of being pure? In this world, a pound of grain is more valuable than pureness."
Lin Yuan faintly heard some voices. Although he didn't understand the language, he instinctively comprehended.
However, having just awakened, not fully adapting yet, he could only quietly listen to the conversation outside.
After more than ten breaths, Lin Yuan's consciousness finally stabilized.
"Hmm?"
"Great Yan Empire? The end of the dynasty, warlord chaos? Hardship for the people?"
Lin Yuan quickly accepted the memories of the original body and learned about his current situation.
The hierarchy of this world wasn't very high. In the memories of the original body, even experts capable of single-handedly facing hundreds were extremely rare.
The Great Yan Empire ruled the world for nearly five hundred years. Now, it was thoroughly decadent. With various 'righteous' uprisings, the entire empire was on the verge of collapse.
The reason for this was that the common people couldn't survive, facing consecutive disasters and heavy taxes imposed by the court each year.
Now, it had reached the point of people resorting to cannibalism.
For example, Lin Yuan, who was currently treated as meat, was still looked down upon for having too little flesh.
"My current body."
Lin Yuan sensed his body, frowned slightly, and first noticed his age. The original body was already over sixty years old, with severely degraded physical functions, aggravated by prolonged periods of hunger.
At this moment, even standing up was somewhat challenging.
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Yuan recalled that the original owner was a small wealthy landowner. However, due to the chaos in the world and the invasion of warlords, the original owner had no choice but to migrate with the household servants.
But shortly after escaping, they encountered a group of refugees who robbed them of all their possessions. Barely escaping, Lin Yuan soon found himself here.
Taking a short rest, Lin Yuan, relying on his powerful mental will, mobilized his blood and energy, managing to recover somewhat.
"This world?"
Lin Yuan looked around. Since awakening, he hadn't sensed any spiritual or vital energy.
"The era of decline?"
Lin Yuan judged.
At the same time,
[Name: Chen Jun (Lin Yuan)]
[Identity: Controller of the Gateway to the Myriad Realms]
[Bound Talent: Heaven-Defying Comprehension]
[Divine Ability: Blood-Infused Rebirth]
[Current Status: Consciousness Descended]
[Remaining Residency Time: Thirty Years]
"Only thirty years of residency time?"
"So, the residency world depends on the world's level, not my own realm?"
Lin Yuan pondered with a thoughtful expression.
In the previous six travels, the residency time increased with each journey, leading Lin Yuan to believe that the residency time was related to his own realm. However, it seemed to be more connected to the level of the traversed world.
"Consuming a strand of Boundary Breaking Source Power for this traversal is entirely random. In the previous six times, I was lucky, and each world I traversed was beneficial to me. However, this time, luck might not be on my side."
Lin Yuan thought silently.
Yet, the level of the traversed world had no significant impact on Lin Yuan's main goal. In fact, he felt more content when traversing weaker worlds, as the demons during the Heart Devil Tribulation, arising from the collective negative emotions of countless beings, would be far less potent in such low martial worlds, making the tribulation easier to overcome.
"Facing the Heart Devil Tribulation has nothing to do with the physical body or soul. The devil targets the mind and will."
"As long as the realm is reached, the Heart Devil can be summoned at any time."
"No need for the simultaneous advancement of the physical and soul to the seventh-tier limit."
Lin Yuan pondered silently.
To advance to the eighth tier, the physical and soul must reach the limit. Still, this requirement is absent during the Heart Devil Tribulation, where only the realm matters.
Even now, Lin Yuan could summon the Heart Devil.
"Although the residency time this time is not long, it's thirty years. There's no need to rush."
Lin Yuan glanced around, realizing that his current situation wasn't ideal. It wouldn't be wise to face the Heart Devil Tribulation while being disturbed by external interruptions.
"Hmm?"
"Old man, why are you trying to stand up?"
"Are you thinking of escaping? Where can you escape to?"
Just as Lin Yuan adjusted his blood and rose to move, two burly men not far away looked over as well. They were surrounded by slaughtering tools, giving Lin Yuan an unfriendly look.
It was as if they were looking at a pig or sheep about to be slaughtered.
"Get lost."
Lin Yuan glanced at the two men.
Without using any force, which, in fact, he couldn't at the moment, as Lin Yuan had just regained consciousness. The only means at his disposal were related to his mental will.
Boom.
The two burly men, glared at by Lin Yuan, felt as if the heavens were collapsing. Their minds seemed to be crushed dozens of times, causing their wills to collapse, and they convulsed on the ground.
Their bodies were still alive.
But their mental wills had collapsed.
This was the advantage of having a powerful mental will. A mere glance could completely crush the opponent.
Of course, these two burly men were too weak. Even if their mental wills were far inferior to Lin Yuan's, a six or seven-tier evolved individual, with the protection of their physical and soul strength, would not be so vulnerable.
"Leave."
Lin Yuan swaggered out.
Along the way, some tried to stop him, but all crumbled under Lin Yuan's gaze.
With Lin Yuan's current strength of mental will, even if surrounded by millions of troops, he could casually walk out.
This was still with a fragile body, greatly limiting the expression of Lin Yuan's mental will.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, ten years went by.
During these ten years, Lin Yuan didn't choose to immediately face the Heart Devil Tribulation. Instead, he traveled far and wide, observing all living beings with the stance of a spectator.
In the fourth year after Lin Yuan's arrival, the Great Yan Dynasty's capital was breached by rebel forces, leading to the complete collapse of the nation.
At this moment, the situation in the world was chaotic. Various warlords took turns in power, creating turmoil. In the end, a newly emerged warlord waving the banner of 'Da Chu' took six years to end the chaos, establishing the Da Chu Empire.
In a sunny valley,
A middle-aged man with a noble temperament stood respectfully outside.
It seemed like he was waiting for something.
If there were outsiders present, they would discover that this middle-aged man was none other than the founding emperor of the Da Chu Empire, the most esteemed person in the world.
However, at this moment, the founding emperor stood extremely respectfully outside the valley, not daring to overstep any boundaries.
At this moment, a young boy walked out of the valley.
"Sage, does the Sage want to see me?" The middle-aged man asked in a low voice upon seeing this.
"You can go."
"Master said there is no great debt between you and him, and there's no need to worry." The young boy said seriously.
"No great debt."
The middle-aged man looked lost. If it weren't for the master's intervention back then, he would have died at the hands of the rebel forces, and how could he have built such a foundation?
Although he had only followed the master for a few years, the middle-aged man deeply understood that the master was truly an immortal. In the eyes of the master, all worldly matters were inconsequential.
Even his position as the founding emperor of the Da Chu Empire was just something casually cultivated by the master.
"Yes."
The middle-aged man took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Tell the master that I will have the Da Chu Empire offer daily worship to the master's tablet."
Inside the valley,
Lin Yuan glanced at the departing middle-aged man, not paying much attention.
He was not a native of this world, and everything he did was simply spontaneous.
The Great Yan Dynasty had fallen, and the world was in chaos, which Lin Yuan found tiresome. Therefore, he cultivated a new emperor to stabilize the situation, making it more pleasing to the eye.
That was all.
"Now, my mental will index should be over twelve thousand?"
Lin Yuan secretly thought that in these ten years, he had traveled the world, pondering over various matters, and his mental will had improved.
"Just that, I can't sense the 'Demon Jade Space' here?"
Lin Yuan suddenly thought of this.
As soon as Lin Yuan's consciousness descended, memories synchronized, comprehending 3,333 evolutionary paths, naturally condensing the 'Demon Jade Mark.'
In the main world, the moment the Demon Jade Mark condensed, Lin Yuan could sense the vast and mysterious Demon Jade Space.
But here, there was nothing.
From this, it could be inferred that even the owner of the Demon Jade Tower was far inferior to the Door of Ten Thousand Realms. At least the casual traversal of the Door of Ten Thousand Realms exceeded the perception limit of the Demon Jade Tower's owner.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, another fifteen years went by.
In these fifteen years, the Da Chu Empire entered a period of prosperity, with a significant increase in population. The founding emperor of Da Chu was hailed by the people.
The founding emperor of Da Chu openly stated that everything he did now was guided by the Sage.
Without the Sage, there would be no him, and there would be no Da Chu Empire as it was now.
The entire empire, from top to bottom, worshipped the Sage's tablet day and night.
On top of a mountain peak,
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
"Unfortunately, this world is too weak. It's not even necessary to spread the path of martial evolution."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Under the suppression of this world, almost in an apocalyptic era, even if Lin Yuan spread the path of martial evolution, future martial cultivators would at most cultivate to the Innate Realm, equivalent to not advancing to a higher tier. They would be unable to touch the core essence of the martial evolution path.
Therefore, it was challenging for Lin Yuan to provide any 'benefit.'
Of course, Lin Yuan did not give up on this world.
In these twenty-five years, he traveled across the land, replicated the martial evolution paths onto special metals, and scattered them throughout the world.
Someday, when this world lifted its suppression and ended the apocalyptic era, the path of martial evolution would undoubtedly rise first.
"I can face the Heart Devil Tribulation now."
Lin Yuan made a decision.
Although there were still five years until the end of his stay.
But in the past twenty-five years, Lin Yuan's mental will had undergone the ultimate training.
Dragging it out further would be meaningless.
With this thought, Lin Yuan actively attracted the Heart Devil.
Heart Devil Tribulation, arrived.
In a daze,
Lin Yuan opened his eyes again.
He found himself in a room.
"What is this?"
Lin Yuan hadn't carefully examined it yet.
His mother, Lu Qiong, walked in. "Xiaoyuan, I've asked your uncle. He said he could remove your name from the mandatory conscription quota."
Lu Qiong said with joy.
"Mandatory conscription quota?"
Lin Yuan looked somewhat surprised. Vaguely, he felt there was something wrong with this statement.
Who would dare to conscript him forcefully?
"Yes, your uncle also said he found you a job in the government. Tomorrow, go see your uncle, and he will arrange everything for you."
"Xiaoyuan, your uncle is our benefactor. You must be polite when the time comes."
Lu Qiong kept advising on the side.
"When Xiaoyuan's job is stable, it's time to find a girlfriend. By then, you can get married, have children early, and your father and I can help take care. Those robots won't be able to raise children. Let us handle it."
Lu Qiong started thinking about the future.
"Marriage?"
"Having children?"
In Lin Yuan's eyes, faintly, there were vortexes of the starry sky.
"My journey is in the vast starry sky. How can I be trapped on an ordinary planet?"
Lin Yuan stretched lazily, stood up, and laughed heartily.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 232: Stepping into the Eighth Tier (Seeking Subscriptions)
At this moment,
A vast mental will condensed within Lin Yuan.
Making him feel that everything he saw at the moment was like a dream, easily punctured with a touch.
Swoosh.
In the instant Lin Yuan became aware,
His consciousness began to sink again.
When Lin Yuan opened his eyes again, he was already in the cosmic starry sky.
A powerful aura of an alien race came from behind, and Lin Yuan was evidently being pursued by the aliens.
"Hahaha, even if you are the unparalleled genius of human civilization, so what? You still have to die." The pursuing alien laughed maniacally.
"I'm being chased?" Lin Yuan frowned, instinctively wanting to continue fleeing.
The next moment,
A vast mental will once again condensed within him.
Lin Yuan instantly understood his situation.
"A mere Heart Devil." Lin Yuan stopped fleeing, and the illusions around him began to collapse again.
The essence of the Heart Devil Tribulation is the Heart Devil. When an evolutionist faces the Heart Devil Tribulation, they will experience scenes they least want to experience or most want to experience.
For example, what Lin Yuan worried most about was being prematurely killed by aliens before he grew up.
Originally, if one's own mental will did not meet the standard, an evolutionist would easily get lost in the illusions in front of them, meaning the failure of the Heart Devil Tribulation.
A powerful mental will could quickly awaken the evolutionist.
Or make the evolutionist realize that everything around them is an illusion, all fabricated.
The probability of passing the Heart Devil Tribulation naturally increased significantly.
In the blink of an eye,
Lin Yuan broke through hundreds of Heart Devil illusions.
The scene changed.
A nest of insect-like creatures comparable to a galaxy appeared in the distance.
Seven-tier, eight-tier, and even nine-tier insect warriors created by the nest emerged one after another.
"Is this an insect queen of the insect race?" Lin Yuan was surprised.
The insect queen corresponded to the powerhouse of human civilization.
An insect queen could continuously produce a large number of seven-tier, eight-tier, and nine-tier insect warriors.
These insect warriors, one-on-one, were definitely not opponents of human evolutionists of the same tier.
But it was overwhelming in terms of quantity, endless. Even if a million ordinary eight-tier insect warriors appeared, it would make the head of a star lord feel numb.
Precisely because of this, in the war between human civilization and the insect race, they had no advantage on the middle and lower-tier battlefields but were at a disadvantage.
Only in the battles among powerhouses, the insect queens were suppressed by human powerhouses.
Because insect queens couldn't produce insect warriors at the level of powerhouses.
"The insect queen personally making a move against me seems too fake."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. Even without a powerful mental will, he found the current scene somewhat absurd. The queens were such formidable beings that they could contend with powerhouses.
Even a peerless genius evolutionary of humanity, who crowned an era, wasn't worth the queen's intervention. Their identity and status spoke for themselves.
Boom!
Accompanied by the convergence of a massive mental will,
Lin Yuan once again shattered this layer of Heart Devil illusion.
On top of a towering Evolution Tower,
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged. At this moment, Lin Yuan's aura was profound, akin to the cosmic starry sky. Wherever his gaze reached, it was within his own domain.
"Great powerhouses, under your leadership, human civilization has become an unprecedented force in the cosmic starry sky. Peak tribes like the insect race are surrendering."
A senior figure below spoke loudly, his tone filled with deep admiration.
"Becoming a powerhouse, leading human civilization to its peak, is something every human evolutionary aspires to achieve."
At this moment, Lin Yuan was being worshipped by countless humans, overseeing everything as if a deity.
"Unfortunately, it's all fake. All of it is fake."
Lin Yuan sighed, and the scenes from all directions began to collapse, along with the invincible power within Lin Yuan's body dissipating.
On a high mountain,
Lin Yuan quietly opened his eyes.
"The Heart Devil Tribulation has ended."
Lin Yuan's gaze was profound, as if breaking through some kind of shackle. His spiritual realm suddenly began to elevate.
"My current realm is already at the Eighth Tier."
Becoming an Eighth Tier evolutionary required three prerequisites.
One was the Heart Devil Tribulation, the second was an internal world, and the third was the perfection of the physical body and soul.
If the Heart Devil Tribulation couldn't be overcome, one would forever be at the peak of the Seventh Tier, even if the internal world and the physical body and soul met the requirements.
Because the realm couldn't be elevated.
Only by overcoming the Heart Devil Tribulation could one smoothly advance to the Eighth Tier.
Next, if the internal world was expanded, and the physical body and soul reached perfection, one could officially step into the Eighth Tier.
"Let's end the travels."
Lin Yuan glanced at the remaining residency time.
Five years were still left.
The countless layers of Heart Devil illusions Lin Yuan experienced during the Heart Devil Tribulation were but a moment in reality.
As for the remaining five years of world-hopping, there was no need to waste time here.
Now, the most important thing for Lin Yuan was to completely step into the Eighth Tier.
Red Kun Main Star,
Lin Yuan opened his eyes.
Swoosh.
A large amount of Scarlet Spirit Fluid appeared in front of him.
Years ago, Lin Yuan had started preparing for the advancement to the Eighth Tier, and he hadn't forgotten about the Scarlet Spirit Fluid.
"Breakthrough."
Lin Yuan closed his eyes.
Boom!
Firstly, the internal world within Lin Yuan's body began to crazily expand again.
Originally, the internal world was only a hundred and thirty thousand miles in diameter, but in the blink of an eye, it soared to two hundred and fifty thousand miles in diameter.
The violent expansion of the internal world didn't cause much commotion.
When Lin Yuan expanded his internal world previously, it had skyrocketed from a dozen miles in diameter to a hundred and twenty thousand miles. With a ten-thousand-fold increase, Lin Yuan couldn't control it perfectly, so he had sought the help of the Red Kun Star Lord to conceal it.
But now, from a hundred and thirty thousand miles in diameter, it had increased to two hundred and fifty thousand miles in diameter. Although the increment exceeded the former, the base value was much stronger.
Lin Yuan had the ability to contain it entirely on his own.
In the crimson palace,
Red Kun Star Lord was advising the Grand Peak Master.
As the Grand Peak Master broke through to the Eighth Tier and was about to preside over the star domain, Red Kun Star Lord, as his teacher, naturally would bestow some bottom-line cards.
"Teacher, rest assured, I will be cautious."
The Grand Peak Master nodded, understanding that Red Kun Star Lord was expressing concern for him.
"I wonder, among my disciples, who will be the next to break through to the Eighth Tier?" Red Kun Star Lord sighed, expressing some emotion.
"Second Junior Brother? Third Junior Brother? Or maybe the youngest Junior Brother?"
The Grand Peak Master tentatively speculated.
Among Red Kun Star Lord's disciples, only these three were at the Seventh Tier.
"Who do you think it is?" Red Kun Star Lord asked with interest.
"In terms of talent, the youngest Junior Brother is undoubtedly the strongest. However, to break through to the Eighth Tier, mental will is crucial, and it requires accumulating experiences over a long period. Second Junior Brother has accumulated enough in this regard. As long as he breaks through to the King Level, he should be able to try to develop an internal world and then advance to the Eighth Tier."
The Grand Peak Master calmly analyzed.
He wasn't belittling the youngest Junior Brother; it was just that the improvement in the index of mental will indeed required a considerable amount of time. The youngest Junior Brother was still quite young, not even a hundred years old.
"You're right."
Upon hearing this, Red Kun Star Lord carefully thought for a moment and nodded.
"Just..."
Red Kun Star Lord hadn't finished speaking when he seemed to sense something.
He looked in a certain direction with an expression of astonishment.
"Someone has broken through to the Eighth Tier?"
The Grand Peak Master also sensed something and followed the direction of the breakthrough.
Although Lin Yuan could conceal the disturbance caused by the expansion of the internal world,
the breakthrough from the Seventh Tier to the Eighth Tier itself couldn't be hidden. It involved fluctuations in the fundamental rules.
"Younger Junior Brother?"
The Grand Peak Master widened his eyes. The location of the breakthrough was on the Thirteenth Peak. Currently, only the youngest Junior Brother had the ability to break through to the Eighth Tier.
As for those Seventh Tier guards? If any of them were about to break through to the Eighth Tier, they would definitely report to the Star Lord in advance.
"Oh my god."
The eldest senior brother exclaimed, gaping. He had just analyzed with the teacher which ordinary Eighth Tier disciple would be the next to break through, and now, the youngest Junior Brother immediately broke through to the Eighth Tier?
No, that wasn't the main point.
The main point was how young the youngest Junior Brother was. He had just stepped into the Seventh Tier not long ago, and now he was already at the Eighth Tier?
"My disciple."
Red Kun Star Lord's thoughts were also in turmoil, and he didn't agree with the Grand Peak Master's view that the next ordinary Eighth Tier disciple would be the Second Peak Master.
Compared to the Grand Peak Master, Red Kun Star Lord was aware of Lin Yuan's cultivation progress and the nearly Eighth-Tier pinnacle internal world.
With such a vast internal world, even if Lin Yuan did nothing, his physical body, soul, and mental will would slowly become stronger.
Until it approached the pinnacle of the Eighth Tier.
Here, the pinnacle of the Eighth Tier referred to the physical body and soul, while the realm would still be at the Seventh Tier.
However, in Red Kun Star Lord's view, even if Lin Yuan entered the Eighth Tier, it would still be a matter of decades or even centuries.
But now, the results were achieved?
At the same time, the commotion caused by Lin Yuan's breakthrough to the Eighth Tier began to influence the entire Red Kun Main Star.
Not long ago, when the eldest senior brother broke through to the Eighth Tier, Lin Yuan sensed it from a considerable distance away. Crossing from the Seventh to the Eighth Tier caused a disturbance in the fundamental rules that was challenging to conceal.
Almost in an instant,
on Red Kun Main Star, numerous Sixth and Seventh Tier evolutionaries were in uproar.
"Another Peak Master has reached the Eighth Tier?"
"The Grand Peak Master just became the Eighth Tier not long ago, and now another Peak Master follows suit?"
"In our Red Kun Star Territory, powerful individuals are truly emerging one after another lately."
Countless evolutionaries on Red Kun Main Star were dumbfounded.
"Not right, I recently met with the Second Peak Master and the Third Peak Master. They are supposed to be going out for a trip soon and shouldn't be on Red Kun Main Star now."
"Meaning, among the Peak Masters currently on the main star, only the Thirteenth Peak Master is at the Seventh Tier?"
"The one who broke through to the Eighth Tier is the Thirteenth Peak Master?"
This speculation left all evolutionaries a bit bewildered.
Any evolutionaries with common sense could understand that the Thirteenth Peak Master had just announced stepping into the Seventh Tier not long ago. How could he so quickly advance to the Eighth Tier?
Do they think cultivation is as simple as eating and drinking?
However, currently, the Second and Third Peak Masters weren't on the main star, leaving only the Thirteenth Peak Master with the conditions to break through to the Eighth Tier.
Perhaps some of the Seventh Tier King-level guards also had the conditions to break through to the Eighth Tier. However, if a King-level guard broke through, the Star Lord would send them to a specialized breakthrough planet, and they wouldn't break through on the main star.
After careful consideration, only the Thirteenth Peak Master met the criteria.
"I've just contacted the Second and Third Peak Masters. They are indeed not on the main star now," said a Seventh Tier King-level evolutionary.
This statement stirred up a huge wave.
Because this meant that the current evolutionary breaking into the Eighth Tier could only be the Thirteenth Peak Master.
If not the Thirteenth Peak Master, could it be those Peak Masters who were only at the Sixth Tier?
"The breakthrough went very smoothly."
"Now, I have completely entered the Eighth Tier."
The Seventh Tier evolutionaries carefully sensed it. Breaking from the Seventh to the Eighth Tier had several challenges, such as not overcoming the heart demon or not opening an internal world. Any failure in these aspects would halt the breakthrough signs abruptly.
But now, the breakthrough aura they felt was extremely smooth, as if it flowed effortlessly, without any pauses.
"If it's really the Thirteenth Peak Master entering the Eighth Tier, then his potential is terrifying."
"In the future, even if he can't break through to the Ninth Tier, at least he will be invincible at the Eighth Tier, like the Star Lord."
Seventh Tier evolutionaries with a discerning eye could already see that the Thirteenth Peak Master's minimum potential in the future would be invincibility at the Eighth Tier, just like the Star Lord.
As for the upper limit, that is unclear.
Perhaps it's the Ninth Tier, or maybe the Tenth Tier.
While countless evolutionists on various main stars were discussing and conversing,
news spread like a hurricane that the Red Kun lineage was about to have another Eighth Tier evolutionist.
Especially since this newly promoted Eighth Tier evolutionist was most likely the youngest of the Thirteen Peak Masters, it sparked almost frenzied discussions.
In the Wan Yang Starfield,
on the surface of a constant star,
an old man with black hair appeared.
"Your Highness, Your Highness."
The old man with black hair began to call out.
Nearly ten years ago, the Wan Yang Crown Prince made a determined decision to risk his life and venture into the depths of the star to cultivate.
Because only by doing so could he fully exploit his potential, swiftly advance to the Seventh Tier, and catch up with the Thirteen Peak Masters of the Red Kun lineage.
How proud was the Wan Yang Crown Prince? Struck twice in a row by the Thirteen Peak Masters, his suppressed frustration was almost overflowing.
At the call of the black-haired old man,
a blazing red crystal flew out from the depths of the star.
The crystal stopped in front of the black-haired old man, beginning to melt, and the Wan Yang Crown Prince walked out from inside.
"What's the matter?"
"I said, unless it's something earth-shattering, don't disturb me, right?"
The Wan Yang Crown Prince frowned; he had planned to continue his seclusion for two hundred years.
But now, in less than ten years, he was called out, making him very dissatisfied.
"Your Highness, good news, especially good news."
A smile appeared on the face of the black-haired old man, and he quickly revealed the news about the part of the body from a powerhouse from another world.
"The body of a powerhouse?"
"Let us comprehend it. As long as we understand the path of powerhouse evolution, we have a chance to become a powerhouse?"
Flames flickered in the Wan Yang Crown Prince's eyes.
If that were the case, comprehending that part of the body would be superior to delving into the depths of the star.
"I don't expect to comprehend the path of powerhouse evolution, but as long as I comprehend even a fraction of the mystery of this body, it shouldn't be a problem for me to advance to the Seventh Tier."
The Wan Yang Crown Prince's heart burned.
According to his estimation, by delving into the depths of the star and experiencing life-threatening dangers, he would have a chance to reach the Seventh Tier in two hundred years.
But by comprehending the body of a powerhouse, he might reach the Seventh Tier in maybe a hundred years.
Just a hundred years. How far could the Thirteen Peak Masters advance in the Seventh Tier during that time?
He had more hope of catching up with them.
At that time,
the Wan Yang Crown Prince felt excited in his heart. Once he reached the Seventh Tier, he would be in the same major realm as the Thirteen Peak Masters, and with the 'Nine Yang Divine Veins' physique, he estimated he wouldn't fall too far behind.
Just as the Wan Yang Crown Prince was full of hope and ready to eagerly apply to comprehend that body part,
the black-haired old man beside him had a slight change in his expression. He was always connected to the virtual world, ensuring he could be aware of any latest information.
"Your Highness."
The black-haired old man glanced cautiously at the Wan Yang Crown Prince, who was full of enthusiasm, and whispered, "There's bad news now."
"Bad news?"
The Wan Yang Crown Prince glanced at the black-haired old man, completely indifferent. "What bad news?"
