And—
Lin Yuan’s time was far more than just the numbers on the surface.
The shuttling through the Door to the Myriad Realms, the passage of time in different worlds, none of these were accounted for.
“Fourth Rank, eleven segments…”
Days later, Lin Yuan opened his eyes again, his bodily aura having increased once more.
The breakthrough in strength hadn’t surprised Lin Yuan, who, under the premise of comprehending this multi-evolution path, had thought it better to hit his head against the wall if he couldn’t advance.
Inhale.
Exhale.
After the breakthrough, Lin Yuan’s realm improved, and his body naturally began to absorb energy from the air, slowly transforming.
“Calculating the time, in just over a month, the guard troops should be here.”
Lin Yuan was not in a hurry to purchase cosmic rare treasures and spiritual objects to promote bodily transformation.
As a disciple of the Chikun Star Lord and one of the thirteen Peak Masters of the Red Kun Lineage, Lin Yuan had the privilege to apply for ‘Scarlet Spirit Liquid’.
This time, as the guard squad departed from the Chikun Main Star, Lin Yuan had applied for a pot of Scarlet Spirit Liquid in advance and had it brought along by the guard squad.
…
One to two months later.
Outside Canglan Star.
A dark spacecraft stopped.
“Finally reached the destination.”
Inside the cockpit of the spaceship, sat thirteen silhouettes.
These thirteen silhouettes had profound auras, especially the leading one, who, merely sitting there, subtly solidified the surroundings.
“This time we come to protect the Peak Master of the Thirteen Peaks.”
“If anything happens to the Peak Master, there is no need for us to continue existing, understand?”
The leading silhouette, a bald middle-aged man, stared at the distant Canglan Star and slowly spoke.
“Understood.”
The twelve silhouettes standing behind him said in unison.
They were carefully selected by the Chikun Star Lord, absolutely loyal; otherwise, they couldn’t possibly serve as personal guards for the Peak Master of the Thirteen Peaks.
…
Central Continent Manor.
Lin Yuan had just finished his cultivation.
He then received the information that the guard troops had arrived.
“Goddess of Wisdom, I have subordinates entering Canglan Star.”
Lin Yuan connected with the Goddess of Wisdom and directly spoke.
For a middle-grade life planet like Canglan Star, the entrance of Sixth Rank life forms is strictly prohibited.
After all, a Sixth Rank life form, also known as ‘Fallen Star Level’, could cause calamity if they harbored ill intent when entering a planet, and even the Planetary Defense System wouldn’t react quickly enough.
It would be a complete disaster.
Therefore, every Sixth Rank life form, before descending onto a planet, needs to register, otherwise, once discovered, it would lead to a star domain level manhunt.
After layers of authorization by the Goddess of Wisdom.
Lin Yuan’s guard squad finally passed through the checkpoints and arrived outside Central Continent Manor.
…
Main building reception hall.
The thirteen members of the guard squad stood respectfully in front of Lin Yuan.
“Peak Master.”
The bald middle-aged man bowed in greeting.
“Peak Master.”
The other twelve Fifth Rank guards also respectfully saluted.
“Rise.”
Lin Yuan curiously eyed the bald middle-aged man.
This person should be the head of the guard squad, a Sixth Rank Evolver.
To be honest, this was the first time Lin Yuan had seen a being of the Sixth Rank up close.
“What’s your name?”
Lin Yuan asked.
“Peak Master, I am called Hou Ming.”
The bald middle-aged man spoke in a low voice.
Following this.
Lin Yuan asked the names of the other twelve guards in turn.
“From now on, you all will be the bodyguards of this manor.”
“Unless absolutely necessary, do not reveal your strength,” Lin Yuan instructed after a moment’s thought.
With his current identity, even if he wasn’t openly known as a disciple of the Chikun Star Lord, he was still a tournament champion and Fourth Rank Evolver.
Hiring some bodyguards was only natural.
Of course, this was limited to ordinary bodyguards.
If others knew that Lin Yuan’s bodyguards were of the Fifth and Sixth Ranks…
You should know that the strongest Evolvers on Canglan Star were only at the Fifth Rank, and their numbers didn’t exceed five.
These few Fifth Rank Evolvers could only be fully mobilized by the Goddess of Wisdom.
As for the Sixth Rank Evolvers… Canglan Star, being a middle-grade life planet, could not attract Evolvers of this level.
Most Sixth Rank Evolvers resided on high-grade life planets or even at star system and star domain main stars.
“Also, from now on, don’t call me Peak Master; just call me Mr. Lin,” Lin Yuan said.
Although the title ‘Peak Master’ was unlikely to be associated with the Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage as long as the strengths of these thirteen bodyguards were not exposed, it would still be better to avoid leaving any traces.
“Yes, Mr. Lin.”
The bald middle-aged man Hou Ming immediately responded.
“From now on, I will be stationed in the main building, and everyone else will patrol the manor,”
Hou Ming asked.
“No problem.”
Lin Yuan nodded.
Since the Chikun Star Lord had appointed them as Lin Yuan’s guard troops, he clearly trusted them. Therefore, Lin Yuan tried not to intervene in their protective arrangements as much as possible.
“This is the ‘Scarlet Spirit Liquid’ that Mr. Lin requested.”
The bald middle-aged man Hou Ming took out a pot-shaped container.
“This is a life-saving token that the Star Lord asked me to give to Mr. Lin,”
Hou Ming said reverently, taking out three crimson tokens.
“Good.”
Lin Yuan put them away.
“Then we’ll be leaving first.”
The bald middle-aged man Hou Ming promptly led twelve guards out of the main building.
…
The underground training ground.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
In front of him was the pot-shaped container containing the ‘Scarlet Spirit Liquid.’
“‘Scarlet Spirit Liquid’?”
Lin Yuan looked forward with anticipation.
His third senior brother had highly praised this spirit liquid,
but since the Scarlet Spirit Liquid was exclusive to the Red Kun lineage, Lin Yuan had never tried it before.
“Let’s test it first.”
Lin Yuan opened the pot, and a drop of Scarlet Spirit Liquid floated out.
This drop of Scarlet Spirit Liquid emitted a red glow, and merely by gazing at it, Lin Yuan could feel the vast energy contained within.
“Come.”
Lin Yuan’s mind flickered slightly.
The drop of Scarlet Spirit Liquid then flew into his mouth.
Boom.
As the spirit liquid entered his throat, it immediately transformed into a blazing energy, starting to be absorbed by every cell in Lin Yuan’s body.
Although named after the word ‘red,’ the energy contained in the Scarlet Spirit Liquid was extremely gentle and didn’t possess the fierce heat like that of the Fire System.
Not to mention that Lin Yuan’s own Dao of Taiji, which included the Way of the Taiyang, could easily absorb this drop of Scarlet Spirit Liquid even without it.
“Transformation completed…”
Moments later, Lin Yuan opened his eyes, his face showing a look of satisfaction.
“This pot of Scarlet Spirit Liquid will be enough for me to reach the Sixth Rank.”
Lin Yuan looked at the pot-shaped container in front of him and solemnly put it away.
“Three life-saving tokens?”
Lin Yuan took out three entirely crimson tokens and began to carefully inspect them.
These three life-saving tokens were unique to Lin Yuan. The previous twelve disciples, or even the young disciples who had realized the ‘Mysterious Yellow’ evolution path thousands of years ago just like Lin Yuan, had never had them.
“Three tokens, though all are meant for saving life, have three different uses,”
Lin Yuan thought inwardly as he probed into the nature of the tokens.
The first token was a teleportation token.
If Lin Yuan were to face an irresistible attack,
this token would automatically activate, forcibly tearing through space and teleporting him randomly.
The second token was an attack token.
It was to be activated by Lin Yuan himself.
Just crush it, and it would unleash a terrifying blow, one that a Sixth Rank Evolver could hardly withstand.
Even those surpassing the Sixth Rank would need to tread carefully, lest they be severely injured.
The third token was a defense token.
It could form a protective barrier around Lin Yuan,
blocking all attacks, including mental and physical ones.
This token was the most important because as soon as it was activated,
the Chikun Star Lord would instantly be notified and would come at full speed.
“The mentor thought of everything…”
Lin Yuan thought silently to himself.
With a guard troop of Sixth Rank Evolvers and these three life-saving tokens,
it would be difficult for Lin Yuan to die even if he wanted to.
Of course,
it would be best to avoid using these measures if possible.
Currently, Lin Yuan’s public identity was merely that of a champion in a tournament,
hardly worth the effort for different species to incur great costs.
At most, they would secretly influence matters, just like what had happened with ‘Yao Qingqing’ before.
…
Time passed.
Another month went by.
The underground training ground.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
The aura around him began to rise once more.
