Chapter 169
🕑 Added 2024-05-19 04:03:00 +0000 UTCAt that moment.
The heavens and earth collapsed.
It seemed as if all things were being destroyed.
Lin Yuan gathered his two great primordial spirits, as well as his own full strength, for a single strike.
Completely surpassing the limits of the sixth rank, purely in terms of power, perhaps approaching the seventh rank?
After a moment.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth gradually calmed down.
Lin Yuan looked down.
"What a pity."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
Even with his full force, he still hadn't broken through the Daoist Immortal Sect's mountain.
"Oh well."
Lin Yuan didn't mind much.
The Daoist Immortal Sect, with its inheritance of tens of thousands of years, had profound foundations that were immeasurable. Unless facing Dao Fusion true immortals or seventh-rank evolvers, it was difficult to completely break through their protective array. (Dao Fusion, the rank above the Void Refinement Realm)
Lin Yuan didn't intend to permanently resolve the Daoist Immortal Sect's matter this time. Instead, he wanted to test his own strength, using the entire Daoist Immortal Sect as a measure.
"Although I can't break through, it's close enough."
"As long as I cultivate to the peak of the sixth rank and twelfth stage, my full-force attack should be able to touch the seventh rank."
"By then, I should have a chance to completely break through the Daoist Immortal Sect's mountain."
Lin Yuan looked down at the Daoist Immortal Sect's mountain, silently contemplating.
Of course.
The premise of Lin Yuan's prediction was the rumored 'Spiritual Realm' not intervening. (Spirit Realm)
The Daoist Immortal Sect controlled the 'Ascension Platform'. After the sect masters of generations managed the sect for ten or twenty thousand years, they would ascend to the 'Spiritual Realm' using the Ascension Platform.
Countless powerful individuals from that era, many of whom surpassed the limits of Void Refinement, had long since ascended to higher levels of the Spiritual Realm using the Ascension Platform.
In the Spiritual Realm, it was almost certain that there were Dao Fusion true immortals.
However.
The Ascension Platform was a one-way passage.
Once those predecessors of the Daoist Immortal Sect ascended to the 'Spiritual Realm', they couldn't come back.
This was the key reason why Lin Yuan dared to take action against the Daoist Immortal Sect.
Even if the two realms were separated, and even if intervention were possible, the forces involved would be very limited. As the invincible one in this realm, Lin Yuan had no fear of these.
"Let's go back."
Lin Yuan glanced at the Daoist Immortal Sect below his feet.
Then his figure disappeared.
Actually.
Lin Yuan could have left his Yang Spirit or Yin Spirit behind to continue suppressing the Daoist Immortal Sect.
But it wasn't necessary.
With the display of his just-now strength, even if he didn't leave behind an avatar to suppress them, the disciples of the Daoist Immortal Sect would probably not dare to venture out for a long time.
Especially those Nascent Soul True Monarchs and Divine Transformation Celestial Lords.
Even if they were given ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to leave the range of the Daoist Immortal Sect.
In that case.
It was better for his primordial spirit to return with him. By cultivating his primordial spirit, Lin Yuan's comprehension efficiency could also be improved.
As Lin Yuan left.
Countless disciples of the Daoist Immortal Sect within the mountain shed tears of relief.
Just now, they had truly felt the threat of death, wondering if the Daoist Immortal Sect, with its inheritance of tens of thousands of years, could really withstand the grinding of the Yin and Yang wheels?
But now.
The Daoist Immortal Sect had not been breached.
And that figure standing high in the sky, overlooking them like a true immortal, Jun Wuji, also disappeared, indicating that he had left.
"We're alive."
"Hahaha, I knew my fate wasn't over."
"We're alive, truly alive."
Countless disciples of the sect couldn't help but celebrate.
From life to death, and then from death to life, such ups and downs, even for cultivators, inevitably caused fluctuations in their state of mind.
"We're alive?"
In the sky, Mu Mengting watched the disciples of the sect celebrating, feeling a bit bitter.
When did the disciples of the Daoist Immortal Sect, who used to be high and mighty, become so emotional?
"Go find the sect master."
Mu Mengting steadied his mind and immediately flew towards the peak of the Daoist Immortal Sect's mountain.
For ordinary disciples, indeed, they had survived.
But for the higher-ups of the sect, this was just the beginning.
What the sect should do next was crucial.
Jun Wuji had just left; he hadn't died, so it wasn't time to celebrate yet.
At the main hall of the Daoist Immortal Sect's peak.
The sect master, Mu Qingliu, sat in the main seat.
His eyes closed, his brows furrowed in contemplation.
"Sect Master."
Mu Mengting appeared in the main hall and bowed slightly to Mu Qingliu.
"Mu Mengting."
Mù Qīngliú opened his eyes and looked at Mù Méngtíng.
Looking at the respectful posture of Mù Méngtíng, Mù Qīngliú unconsciously compared him to Jun Wuji.
The result was that the two couldn't be compared at all.
"Did I make the wrong choice?" Mù Qīngliú silently thought.
If he hadn't chosen Mù Méngtíng as the next generation Sect Master of Daoist Immortal Sect, but had chosen Jun Dongjin instead.
Would there have been the scene just now, which could be described as a catastrophe for Daoist Immortal Sect?
Although it is said that Lin Yuan wants to spread martial arts, this is something he absolutely cannot compromise on, and Daoist Immortal Sect cannot compromise on it either.
But if Jun Dongjin had been chosen as the Sect Master, there would have been at least some room for easing between the two, and they wouldn't have directly clashed like they did just now.
"Sect Master, what should we do now?" Mù Méngtíng asked tentatively.
"What should we do?" Mù Qīngliú's thoughts converged, "We can't deal with Jun Wuji's strength now. We can only ask for the opinions of our ancestors."
"The opinions of our ancestors?" Mù Méngtíng's eyes lit up.
Daoist Immortal Sect has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, yet there have been thirty generations of Sect Masters.
On average, each Sect Master has only held the position for one or two thousand years.
Why is this?
It's because of the "Spiritual Realm".
Daoist Immortal Sect controls the "Ascension Platform", which is the passage to the "Spiritual Realm". Each generation of Sect Masters has gone to the Spiritual Realm through the "Ascension Platform".
It is said that the cultivation environment in the Spiritual Realm is far superior to that of the Central Divine Continent. In the Spiritual Realm, the ancestors of Daoist Immortal Sect, there may even be True Immortals in the Dao Fusion Stage.
"Don't hold too much hope for our ancestors."
"Our ancestors are in the Spiritual Realm, and it's difficult for them to interfere with the mortal world."
Mù Qīngliú shook his head. If their ancestors could intervene in the Central Divine Continent, then the Beast Saint's Nest, the Ghost Palace, and the Blood Demon Sea would have been wiped out long ago, how could they still exist to this day?
White Jade Island.
Jun Dongjin, Mù Lian'er, Jun Xiaoyao, and Jun Zhilan.
They are all waiting anxiously.
"Is this White Jade Island?"
"Is it related to the Lord of White Jade Island? Is Wuji still related to the Lord of White Jade Island?"
Jun Dongjin's shock hasn't stopped.
Although he vaguely inferred from the "Pocket Universe" displayed by Lin Yuan's Yin Elemental Spirit just now that his son Jun Wuji's strength might far exceed their imagination.
But without Jun Wuji's own admission, nothing is certain.
Just then.
Lin Yuan appeared not far away.
"Wuji."
"Brother."
Mù Lian'er, Jun Zhilan, Jun Xiaoyao, and Jun Dongjin rushed over first.
"What exactly happened?"
"The person who received us just now, why does he look exactly like you?"
Jun Zhilan couldn't help asking.
"That's one of my avatars. You could say it's a clone."
Lin Yuan thought for a moment and explained.
The Martial Dao Elemental Spirit in the pathway of Martial Dao evolution is indeed similar to a "clone", but it doesn't require nearly as much effort as cultivating a "clone".
Next.
Lin Yuan explained some things truthfully.
For example, his true strength, the so-called Lord of White Jade Island, and the Yin Elemental Saint, are all his avatars.
As for why he has so much strength, Lin Yuan's explanation is that when he was young, he suddenly gained some memories in his mind.
Among those memories are some incomplete cultivation methods.
It's just nine parts true and one part false.
"I read in an ancient book that before the appearance of the Ascension Platform, those who exceeded the limit of Void Refinement faced the limit of their lifespan and would try reincarnation."
"Wuji, you are probably the reincarnation of a powerful being. But the idea of reincarnation is elusive, and you have to face the confusion of being in the womb. The 'true self' of that powerful being may have passed away, leaving only some memories for you to accept."
Jun Dongjin pondered for a moment and said.
Although the idea of reincarnation is elusive, it does exist.
In the history of Daoist Immortal Sect, there have been some extremely precocious disciples.
These disciples were born with knowledge and often saw scenes of life in another world flashing through their minds.
"Brother, are you saying that you went to Daoist Immortal Mountain just now and almost broke through it?"
Jun Zhilan blinked.
She understood every word Lin Yuan said, but when combined together, why did it feel so strange?
"I intervened with the Daoist Immortal Sect not with any ulterior motive, but merely to demonstrate my strength, in preparation for spreading the martial way in the future," Lin Yuan stated truthfully.
To spread the martial way, mere words and familial ties wouldn't suffice. The Daoist Immortal Sect had the backing of the 'Spiritual Realm' ancestors, and Lin Yuan had no intention of annihilating the sect. After all, he could only stay in this world for five hundred years. Even if he did destroy the Daoist Immortal Sect, they could easily resurface once he left. The separation between the two realms made it difficult for even Dao Fusion Stage True Immortals to interfere in the mortal realm. They could only use limited methods, none of which would have any effect on Lin Yuan.
However, Lin Yuan had another reason for his actions: to give his parents justice.
"Who told you to choose the wrong person for the Daoist Immortal Sect?" he thought.
"Do as you wish, No worries," Jun Dongjing said to his son, looking at him.
After explaining everything to his parents and siblings, Lin Yuan arranged a special cave on White Jade Island for them.
White Jade Island was rich in spiritual energy, comparable to the immortal lands of the Central Divine Continent, if not the Daoist Immortal Sect itself. With his parents cultivating here, Lin Yuan felt reassured.
Months passed, and Lin Yuan sat cross-legged in the cave, while a man in blood robes respectfully greeted him nearby.
"Seen the Great One."
This man was the Lord of the Blood Demon, who, after months of anxiety in the Blood Demon Sea, decided to visit Lin Yuan personally. After all, with Lin Yuan's displayed strength, wiping out his Blood Demon Sea would be an easy task. Faced with such a powerful figure, the Lord of the Blood Demon naturally knew what to do.
"Is this your incarnation?" Lin Yuan asked, interestedly observing the Lord of the Blood Demon.
This was not the first Ancient Saint to visit Lin Yuan. Before, the King of Ghost Cultivation from the Ghost Palace and the Beast Saint of Beast from the Saint's Nest had also visited him, offering their core martial arts secrets in exchange for Lin Yuan's protection.
Lin Yuan naturally accepted them all. These Ancient Saints, who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, had many valuable insights into martial cultivation.
"Master, I cannot leave the Blood Demon Sea, so I had to send this incarnation," the Lord of the Blood Demon said anxiously, afraid that Lin Yuan would reprimand him for his lack of manners.
"It's all right," Lin Yuan waved his hand.
After sending off the Lord of the Blood Demon, Lin Yuan began to browse through the core technique of the 'Unending Blood Sea.'
"Fusing with the blood sea, immortal and indestructible. No wonder the Daoist Immortal Sect hasn't been able to suppress it for hundreds of thousands of years; this already involves certain methods of Dao Fusion Stage," Lin Yuan said with a slightly grave expression.
The inherent danger of the Unending Blood Sea technique was the inability to leave the merged object. For example, the Lord of the Blood Demon could not leave the Blood Demon Sea because he was the Blood Demon Sea, and the Blood Demon Sea was him.
With Lin Yuan's extraordinary insight, it was not impossible to eliminate this danger; it was only a matter of weakening the 'immortal and indestructible' aspect of the technique slightly.
Years passed.
White Jade Island became more prosperous, and the number of martial cultivators increased significantly. Jun Dongjing, Mu Lian'er, Jun Xiaoyao, and Jun Zhilan lived happily on White Jade Island, free from pressure.
Moreover, the reputation of White Jade Island surpassed that of the Daoist Immortal Sect, elevating Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhilan's status.
Just then, a terrifying aura rose from the core area of White Jade Island. This aura was so majestic that it seemed to suppress all beings. The entire East Sea, spanning billions of miles, began to tremble with spiritual energy.
The Saintly Nest.
The Saint looked at the direction of the East Sea with shock. "Did that person... break through?"
Years ago, that person could already lift the Daoist Immortal Sect. Now, with another breakthrough, what level would he reach?
Ghost Palace.
The King of Ghost Cultivation sighed. He also looked towards the East Sea, unsure of what to think.
Blood Demon Sea.
The Lord of the Blood Demon did the same.
Daoist Immortal Sect.
Mu Qingliu and Mu Mengting felt the aura from the East Sea and stood up, looking towards it.
As the aura grew stronger, countless beings subconsciously turned their gaze towards the East Sea.
It was as if...
All living beings, spontaneously and unanimously, looked towards one person.
