Chapter 253
"Born for the Martial Way?"
The few Supreme Elders were all shocked.
This evaluation couldn't be higher. In the Immortal Dao, it would equate to a dazzling, peerless genius, a seed of an Immortal King! Though the Martial Way doesn't quite compare to the Immortal Dao, not just anyone could bear such an evaluation.
"Don't believe it?"
The Grand Supreme Elder glanced at them and sighed softly.
To be honest, before 'teaching' Lin Yuan, he didn't think any Martial Way practitioner in the world could be evaluated this highly.
But after that, the Grand Supreme Elder indeed realized Lin Yuan was such a person.
"Wait until tomorrow, and you'll know after you teach him."
The Grand Supreme Elder shook his head slightly and left with big strides.
In the following time.The few Supreme Elders of the Martial Temple all tried to 'teach' Lin Yuan in turn.
But the results often made people feel a bit heartbroken. The questions they posed to Lin Yuan were answered after a brief contemplation.
But whenever Lin Yuan casually asked a question back, the Supreme Elders would think for a long time, unable to come up with an explanation, and finally, it was Lin Yuan who gave the answer.
As for the Martial Way cultivation, Lin Yuan's progress was even more rapid. With the Martial Temple fully providing resources, Lin Yuan's advancement speed was astonishing.
In less than a year, he had covered a path that ordinary Martial Way geniuses might not walk in decades.
In fact, the Supreme Elders didn't know that Lin Yuan was intentionally displaying his cultivation speed.
The actual speed of his cultivation was far more terrifying than they imagined.
In the guest hall of the Martial Temple.
Lin Yuan sat casually, while Lin Jianping and Shen Zhen were full of excitement.
"Chang'er, you don't know how good the Zhao family patriarch's attitude towards me was. It's all because of you, Chang'er."
Lin Jianping looked at his son with an indescribable joy.
The best decision he made in his life was to send Lin Yuan to feel the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor.
Although until now, he didn't know Lin Yuan's status in the Martial Temple or what level of disciple he had become.
But as time passed, under Lin Yuan's casual instructions, the Martial Temple began to show a subtle closeness to the Lin family.
This made the powerful families and forces in Xiaoyao City, who previously looked down on the Lin family, immediately treat them well.
"Is that so?"
Lin Yuan smiled and said.
Now his position in the Martial Temple was very special.
He was not a disciple but was personally taught by several Supreme Elders of the Martial Temple.
In theory, Lin Yuan's qualifications and seniority should be on par with the current Temple Master of the Martial Temple.
With a single word from Lin Yuan, even the Temple Master of the Martial Temple wouldn't dare to refute.
After chatting for a while.
Shen Zhen pulled Lin Jianping up and left.
"Chang'er, make sure to protect yourself well in the Martial Temple." Shen Zhen was still a bit worried about Lin Yuan.
She had heard that the competition within the Martial Temple was fierce. Even core disciples had to pay a great price to get what they wanted.
Now her son could influence the Martial Temple, and the price he paid was unimaginable.
"Don't worry, I am doing very well in there."
Lin Yuan said.
However, as Lin Yuan said this, Shen Zhen's eyes reddened, thinking that Lin Yuan was just putting on a brave front.
After sending off his parents.
Lin Yuan returned to his cultivation cave.
"This world, after tens of thousands of years of development, has explored many directions in the Martial Way." Lin Yuan fell into contemplation.
During his half-year in the Martial Temple, apart from his daily cultivation to restore his strength, he had been observing the current changes in the Martial Way cultivation system.
Although Lin Yuan was the founder of the Martial Way, he initially only left behind chapters for ranks one to seven.
The seventh-rank chapter was just a beginning, and the seventh-rank chapter created back then was not perfect. It was only after returning to the main world that Lin Yuan perfected the seventh-rank chapter to his satisfaction.
"Unfortunately, after all these years, no one has moved beyond the seventh-rank chapter."
Lin Yuan thought silently.
To Lin Yuan's knowledge, the strongest in the current Martial Way were only three seventh-rank Martial practitioners.
Among these three, the strongest was named 'Li Qing,' who was Lin Yuan's personal disciple in the lower realm.
As for the other two, they were juniors taught after ascending to the Spirit Realm.
Of the three seventh ranks, 'Li Qing' was at the peak of the seventh rank, while the other two were hovering around the mid to late seventh rank.
"Seventh rank peak..." Lin Yuan pondered.
The Martial Way path that 'Li Qing' followed was the one Lin Yuan left behind. Although it was just the beginning of the seventh rank, Lin Yuan had left his guesses and speculations about the subsequent stages of the seventh rank.
As long as Li Qing followed Lin Yuan's ideas, reaching the peak of the seventh rank wasn't too difficult.
It was certainly easier than creating the seventh-rank chapter from scratch.
However, because the seventh-rank chapter Lin Yuan left behind wasn't perfect, 'Li Qing' almost had no chance of stepping into the eighth rank.
Even in the main world, the eighth rank was a crucial stage, and the eighth-rank evolution path was a prerequisite for becoming a great evolution scholar.
"Indeed."
"Although tens of thousands of years have passed in this world, the Martial Way ultimately isn't a strong path. Without enough beings investing in it, plus the seventh-rank chapter going astray, it's not surprising that no eighth-rank chapter was developed."
Lin Yuan thought silently.
He could step into the eighth rank because his seventh rank was perfect, combined with his Unrivaled Insight, the many cultivation conditions of the main world, and countless evolution paths from the body of the strongest one.
With all these factors combined, Lin Yuan achieved his current success.
As for the Martial Way in the Spirit Realm, without Lin Yuan's conscious presence, it would probably take another million years to see an eighth-rank practitioner.
"Martial Way eighth rank, could it correspond to the Tribulation Stage in the Immortal Dao cultivation system?"
Lin Yuan thought about the Immortal Dao cultivation system.
The Tribulation Stage was also known as the Immortal King.
Tribulation Immortal King.
Even in the Spirit Realm's three thousand states, a Tribulation Immortal King stood at the absolute top.
"To step into the Tribulation Stage, one must overcome the mind and body tribulations to break through to the Tribulation Stage and become an Immortal King."
"This is similar to the seventh rank stepping into the eighth rank, requiring a Heart Demon tribulation."
Lin Yuan pondered.
The difference was that the seventh rank needed to experience the Heart Demon tribulation to step into the eighth rank, while the True Immortals of the Spirit Realm also needed to experience a body tribulation.
"Tribulation Immortal King, wielding the power of creation, overlooking the Spirit Realm, even able to travel through millions of lower realms?"
Lin Yuan thought about the descriptions of the Tribulation Immortal King he had read.
These were all collected by the Martial Temple. Although the Martial Way cultivation system differed from the Immortal Dao cultivation system, the latter still held a reverence for the top Immortal Dao practitioners.
"I wonder what differences there are between a Tribulation Immortal King and an eighth-rank evolver." Lin Yuan was curious.
Different cultivation systems exhibit different abilities at each stage.
The Tribulation Immortal King corresponds to the eighth rank mainly in overall power. The specifics would need a direct confrontation to understand.
"The power of creation?"
Lin Yuan touched his chin. This power, the core strength of a Tribulation Immortal King, was the greatest confidence of Immortal Kings.
"Is it another name for the power of the world? Or is it simply another type of energy? Have Tribulation Immortal Kings not developed internal worlds?"
Lin Yuan's thoughts fluctuated.
The greatest means of an eighth-rank evolver was the power of the world nurtured within their internal world.
As for the Tribulation Immortal King's power of creation, it wasn't clear what kind of power it was.
The Martial Temple's level was ultimately not high enough to collect detailed information on Immortal King-level practitioners.
Deep within the Martial Temple.
A few Supreme Elders gathered once again.
"Chang'er's talent is too strong. We can no longer teach him."
The Second Supreme Elder fell silent for a moment and said truthfully.
They were all sixth-rank Martial practitioners, equivalent to Ancient Saints in the Void Refinement Stage.
In the Spirit Realm, Void Refinement Stage Ancient Saints could dominate one side, at least in a city like Xiaoyao, where Ancient Saint-level combat power was the pinnacle.
But facing Lin Yuan, they felt a bit overwhelmed.
Lin Yuan's learning ability and cultivation speed were too fast.
So fast that it made them question how they had spent their years.
"What should we do then?"
The Third Supreme Elder asked.
"Now, the only way is to ask the three ancestors. Perhaps only the three ancestors are qualified to teach Chang'er."
The Grand Supreme Elder said.
"The three ancestors?"
The remaining Supreme Elders were slightly startled.
The three ancestors referred to the three seventh-rank Martial practitioners.
The founders of the Martial Temple.
However.
These three seventh-rank Martial practitioners were currently fighting for the Daoist Immortal Sect.
The Daoist Immortal Sect had protected Xiaoyao City for so many years, not only because a certain True Immortal master in the Daoist Immortal Sect negotiated an agreement with the mysterious Martial Ancestor.
But also because of the merits the three ancestors had accumulated for the Daoist Immortal Sect over the years.
"Now, it seems only the three ancestors can teach him."
The Third Supreme Elder sighed. They didn't dare to continue teaching; otherwise, their mental state would definitely be damaged.
Too exaggerated.
If it weren't confirmed that Lin Chang's soul and body were perfectly aligned.
They would suspect if Lin Chang had been possessed by some ancient monster.
In the Spirit Realm, possession wasn't uncommon.
"I'll contact the three ancestors immediately."
Seeing no objections from the Supreme Elders, the Grand Supreme Elder stood up and said.
The three ancestors were on an external campaign and couldn't be disturbed unless it was a significant matter. However, regarding Lin Yuan, the Supreme Elders all deemed it a major issue.
Inside the cave mansion.
Besides his cultivation, Lin Yuan was also sensing the great Dao rules of the Spirit Realm.
"The rule of Yin."
Lin Yuan's thoughts moved, and a pure and extreme Yin power gathered in his pupils, merging with the Yang power to form the power of Tai Chi.
"Unexpectedly, I comprehended the rule of Yin shortly after arriving."
Lin Yuan was pleased. He hadn't comprehended the rule of Yin even after nearly twenty years of seclusion in the main world but did so shortly after transmigrating over.
"However, my strength is too weak now to condense the rule. Otherwise, I could see if the fusion of the Yin and Yang rules would create a new rule, the Tai Chi rule?"
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
The rules of the great Dao were ethereal. To condense a rule, one must first comprehend it and have a physique and soul that could bear it.
Of course, Lin Yuan just couldn't condense the rule of Yin but could still use it.
Once a rule is comprehended, even an ordinary person could exhibit power far beyond their limits in every move.
"This transmigration might allow me to awaken a physical divine ability."
Lin Yuan seemed to think of something, and his eyes brightened slightly.
The sixth rank chapter of the Martial Way absorbed the essence of the body cultivation lineage and could condense a physical divine ability for Martial Way practitioners.
So far, Lin Yuan had condensed two physical divine abilities.
One was 'Blood Rebirth.'
The other was 'Moving Mountains.'
The former had greatly helped Lin Yuan, even enabling him to open the mysterious gourd with it.
"And that gourd."
Lin Yuan's mind sank into the depths of his consciousness, looking at the majestic Gate of the Myriad Realms.
As long as Lin Yuan wished, he could use a strand of Boundary-Breaking Source Power to bring that mysterious gourd over at any time.
But Lin Yuan thought for a while and decided to wait.
His current strength was too weak. The mysterious gourd was too precious, and he would consider it once he had enough power to protect himself in this world.
"Time to cultivate."
Lin Yuan collected his thoughts and began to cultivate again.
Although he was now protected by the Martial Temple and had no safety concerns.
There were still many things waiting for Lin Yuan to do, and all these required strength.
On the edge of the Xuan King Domain.
Inside a palace.
Three figures sat cross-legged, their blood flowing and faintly shaking the surroundings.
"Mm?"
"The Martial Temple sent me a message."
The first figure on the left opened his eyes and spoke.
"The Martial Temple?"
"What major event happened?"
The first figure on the right also opened his eyes.
They had long told the Martial Temple only to contact them in case of major events.
"What is it?"
At this moment, the figure in the middle opened her eyes and spoke slowly.
This figure was a beautiful woman, 'Li Qing,' Lin Yuan's personal disciple from back then.
"They say the Martial Temple has received a peerless genius, who caused seven statues to tremble and all emit their full radiance when feeling the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor."
The figure on the left said.
"Seven statues, all emitting full radiance?"
The figure on the right's tone showed some fluctuation.
Even he only caused one statue to tremble and emit its full radiance back then.
"Indeed a peerless genius."
'Li Qing' nodded and said, "What does the Martial Temple want us to do?"
"They want one of us to return and personally teach that genius." The figure on the left said.
"One of us to return?" Li Qing frowned slightly.
"Now the battle with the other major domains is at a critical moment. We can't leave, not even with our primordial spirits."
"In that case, you reply to the Martial Temple, and say I will personally return to teach the peerless genius in a hundred years."
Li Qing said.
She valued Martial Way geniuses, possibly influenced by Lin Yuan back then. Li Qing was willing to give every Martial Way practitioner a chance to progress further.
"A hundred years?"
"True, the battle will likely cease by then, and we can all return."
"In these hundred years, let the peerless genius cultivate on his own. When we return, we will personally guide him."
The figure on the right said.
"No problem."
The figure on the left nodded.
A hundred years was nothing. The peerless genius might have just begun to understand the Martial Way, and their return would be timely for guidance.
Time passed by.
In the blink of an eye, a hundred years had passed since Lin Yuan descended into this world.
