Creating Heavenly Laws

Chapter 309

Restoring the depleted essence energy wasn't as simple as just consuming a lot of spiritual fruits and supplements.

At least, not by Lin Yuan's standards.

But it wasn't extremely difficult either.

By Lin Yuan's estimate, with the current resources, it would take three to four days to fully recover.

Once his essence energy was restored, Lin Yuan's cultivation speed would enter a period of rapid growth.

However, this wasn't really cultivation.

It was more about systematically returning to his peak.

"The beings of this world have an unimaginable potential hidden in their bodies," Lin Yuan thought as he sat cross-legged.

He had noticed this when his consciousness first awakened. The original owner, Longshan Yuan, indulged in women daily, yet no matter how weak he appeared, a few days of rest would almost fully restore him. This hinted at the robustness of his physique.

Lin Yuan half-closed his eyes, carefully sensing.

Even with a rough scan, he detected dozens of bloodlines within Longshan Yuan. Some were faint, indicating they had been diluted over many generations, but over ten of these bloodlines were of the seventh rank.

"This is somewhat similar to the bloodline evolution families in the main universe," Lin Yuan pondered.

The 'knight' cultivation system in this world essentially involved tapping into the power of one's bloodline. For instance, the Longshan Cultivation Method stimulated the 'Mountain Dragon' bloodline within the Longshan family to continuously enhance their strength.

"Too many and too varied bloodlines. Just how promiscuous was the Longshan family's ancestor?" Lin Yuan shook his head.

The 'Mountain Dragon' bloodline of the Longshan family originated from a dragon beast resembling a mountain. How this dragon beast's bloodline was integrated into the Longshan family remained a mystery. (Yeah... a mystery... :D)

In the main universe, bloodline evolution families typically extracted blood from special beings to create bloodline potions, which were then integrated into their own bloodline.

But the methods used by the Longshan family and other families, including the imperial family, were unknown to him.

So far, Lin Yuan hadn't heard of 'bloodline potions' in this world.

"By tapping into their bloodline, knights in this world cultivate quickly but have very short lifespans," Lin Yuan thought.

In the main universe, while bloodline evolution families also tapped into their bloodlines, they also practiced other evolutionary paths.

Unlike the knights in this world, who relied solely on their bloodlines.

This resulted in short lifespans unless they became seventh-rank demigods who ignited their divine flames. Even sixth-rank legendary knights rarely lived over a thousand years.

Fourth and fifth-rank knights rarely lived past two hundred years.

"It's not just reliance on bloodlines; it's also the world's rules restricting them," Lin Yuan concluded.

No matter how much one relied on bloodlines, reaching the sixth rank meant one's life essence was at a level where living past a thousand years should be feasible.

The only explanation was the world's rules.

For example, during his eighth transmigration, the supreme immortal kings in the spirit realm could live through epochs unless they died by accident, far outliving the eighth-rank evolvers in the main world.

The same was true for this world.

Unless they ignited their divine flames, lifespans were very short.

"However, the lifespans of eighth-rank gods seem terrifyingly long, in stark contrast to those below the seventh rank."

Lin Yuan glanced at the sky again.

While there was a chance that the divine flames of seventh-rank demigods could extinguish, eighth-rank gods truly lived eternally, residing in the Sea of Light or the Abyss of Darkness, overseeing the mortal realm.

The twenty-four main gods, especially those who held dominion over certain rules, posed a threat greater than Huny, the strongest ninth-rank life form of the Tianyu Clan who had opened over thirty million space layers.

"Take it slow."

"This time, I have 1,110 years to stay."

Lin Yuan wasn't in a hurry. With the full support of the Longshan family, once he recovered some of his strength, his power would grow exponentially.

"However."

"This world places great importance on bloodlines. The ancient and mysterious origins of the bloodlines in my body should yield powerful physical divine abilities."

Lin Yuan looked forward to it.

Physical divine abilities were unique to the martial evolution path, awakened at the sixth rank based on one's bloodline.

While other martial evolvers could only awaken one physical divine ability in their lifetime, Lin Yuan, with his ability to descend into other worlds through the Gate of Myriad Realms, could awaken multiple divine abilities.

However, not all physical divine abilities were equal in strength.

Of the three physical divine abilities Lin Yuan currently possessed—Blood Rebirth, Moving Mountains, and Enhancement—

Blood Rebirth and Enhancement were very beneficial, but Moving Mountains, a pure strength ability, was somewhat less useful.

It was weaker in both range and intensity compared to the other two.

Given the multiple bloodline origins in his current body, Lin Yuan hoped the physical abilities he would eventually awaken here wouldn't disappoint.

Longshan Territory.

Longshan City.

Today was a significant day for the Longshan family, marking the anniversary of the founding of the Longshan family by the first viscount, establishing their absolute rule over Longshan Territory for over two thousand years.

As the third heir of the Longshan family, Lin Yuan naturally wouldn't miss such a grand occasion.

"Brother Yuan, the sun is so hot today... It's making me dizzy. What should I do?" A young girl from the Longshan family, with a flushed face, leaned towards Lin Yuan.

"The sun is hot?" Lin Yuan looked up at the sky.

It was indeed a bit hot, but for the robust Longshan family, this was nothing. They could stand in the heat for three days and nights without issue.

"Are you having trouble with your cultivation?" Lin Yuan glanced at the girl. Her name was Longshan Ling, a distant cousin.

To maintain the purity of their bloodline, the Longshan family often married within the family, as long as they weren't close relatives.

"I don't know. I just feel very hot under the sun," Longshan Ling continued leaning on Lin Yuan, acting coquettishly.

"I think the heat you feel isn't from the sun but from yourself," another girl nearby couldn't help but scoff.

"Longshan Lan, would it kill you not to speak?" Longshan Ling glared at her.

"Heh, what's wrong? You can speak, but I can't? Since when did our family have such a rule?" Longshan Lan retorted.

"If you're tired, rest for a bit. I need to return to my training," Lin Yuan said, turning to leave.

As the third heir of the Longshan family, after 'mending his ways' and sensing the Qi Sea in five hours, Lin Yuan became the target of many girls in the family.

First, Lin Yuan was quite handsome, with a more androgynous beauty compared to the ruggedness of the Longshan family. Second, he was likely to become a fourth-rank knight and inherit the viscount title.

This made him the most desirable male in the family.

Countless eligible girls were eyeing him.

Even those slightly older or younger than the suitable age were also interested.

Who doesn't like an outstanding man? Moreover, Lin Yuan wasn't just outstanding; he was practically perfect.

"Almost had it. Longshan Lan, you ruined my chance," Longshan Ling fumed as Lin Yuan walked away.

"Ruined your chance? Can't you see Brother Yuan has no interest in you?" Longshan Lan said.

She had also pursued Lin Yuan but was directly rejected. Seeing Longshan Ling getting close to Lin Yuan, she couldn't help but intervene.

"I think Brother Yuan likes gentler girls. You're all too forward; you'll scare him," a younger girl chimed in.

"Scare him?" Longshan Lan rolled her eyes.

Had everyone forgotten about Longshan Yuan's past?

However, the girls in the Longshan family didn't care about a man's romantic history as long as he was strong and excellent.

"Anyway, I still think Brother Yuan has some feelings for me. At least he didn't reject me just now."

Longshan Ling had a dreamy look on her face, but then she glared at Longshan Lan. "Next time, if you ruin my chance again, I'll be your enemy!"

"Afraid of you?" Longshan Lan sneered.

"Hmph, Brother Yuan will be a fourth-rank knight and inherit the viscount title. He will only be with a woman who can help him. My name is Longshan Yao, and my grandfather is a fourth-rank great knight. I can help Brother Yuan manage the family. I'm the most suitable for him."

Another young girl walked over and declared.

Her grandfather was Longshan Zhu. Although Viscount Longshan and Longshan Zhu had decided not to reveal Lin Yuan's true talent and potential, Longshan Zhu hinted to his granddaughter to pursue Lin Yuan, knowing Lin Yuan's real potential was far beyond what was shown.

While he didn't dare say Lin Yuan could become a seventh-rank demigod because the Longshan family lacked detailed information about seventh-rank demigods, he was confident that Lin Yuan could at least become a sixth-rank legendary knight.

That would mean becoming a legendary knight, and if he submitted to the empire, he would at least be granted an 'earl' title, ruling a territory several times larger than Longshan Territory.

Becoming the wife of an earl would be a rare honor throughout the empire.

Lin Yuan quickly returned to his training room.

"My essence energy is almost restored. Now I can start cultivating." Lin Yuan sat cross-legged and picked up a Longshan Fruit, swallowing it.

As for the women outside? Who cares about them? When he was an emperor in one of his previous transmigrations, he already played with many women, that was enough for him right now.

Maybe in the future when he will become a Strongest One, then he will consider a real partner. Right now? Cultivation comes first!

The immense energy flowed through his body and was quickly absorbed by Lin Yuan.

"Hmm?"

"The situation in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm is still stable. Xi Lan has not been caught by Huny yet." Lin Yuan briefly sensed through the Gate of Myriad Realms and sighed in relief.

He had been in this world for nearly a week, and only half an hour had passed in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.

In such a short time, Huny hadn't caught up with Xi Lan, so there shouldn't be any unexpected events for now.

If Xi Lan dared to assure Lin Yuan that he could hold out for three years, he must be confident.

"The Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm."

Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed. The calling from the core area of the secret realm still intrigued him.

"This world should be the homeland of one of the followers of that 'Your Majesty' from the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

The follower longed to return to his homeland, even regarding its coordinates as the most precious of his treasures.

Yet, the homeland this follower yearned for before his death was now right before Lin Yuan.

Anpu City.

In a dark palace, the veiled woman stood with a furrowed brow. "Longshan Yuan returned to Longshan City and became interested in cultivation, sensing the Qi Sea within five hours?"

The veiled woman was bewildered.

The previously unmotivated Longshan Yuan had the potential to become a fourth-rank knight?

No, it was no longer just potential.

Sensing the Qi Sea within five hours, combined with being the third heir of the Longshan family and receiving all the family's resources, barring any accidents, he was sure to become a fourth-rank knight.

"What should we do now?" the fox girl below asked, equally puzzled, knowing Longshan Yuan's past. They had spent considerable time together.

"Longshan Yuan is now under heavy protection by the family, which complicates matters," the veiled woman said, feeling troubled.

If Longshan Yuan were still the same as before, even as the third heir, without the potential to become a knight, the family wouldn't have paid much attention.

But now?

The veiled woman even suspected that fourth-rank knights might be secretly protecting Longshan Yuan.

"The most important thing now is to see Longshan Yuan."

"Talent is predetermined, but Longshan Yuan loves indulgence. If he sees you, he won't be able to resist."

The veiled woman looked at the fox girl. "Go to Longshan City and try to meet Longshan Yuan. Only then can we regain control over him."

After restoring his essence energy, Lin Yuan spent most of his time cultivating.

He only occasionally visited his parents, and even Dashan rarely saw him.

During this time, several fourth-rank knights of the Longshan family tried to guide Lin Yuan, hoping to help the family's future star avoid detours.

But unfortunately, this led to another shocking realization among the fourth-rank knights.

Their guidance had no effect on Lin Yuan. It seemed he was naturally born to be a knight.

He understood all the knight theories and techniques even before they fully explained them.

Eventually, these fourth-rank knights gave up trying to help, realizing they couldn't guide Lin Yuan.

Instead, through conversations with Lin Yuan, these knights began questioning if their own paths were wrong, if the Longshan Cultivation Method was no longer the correct way.

With the fourth-rank knights out of the way, Lin Yuan's cultivation skyrocketed.

With ample resources, Lin Yuan made constant progress after the initial stages.

And so, time passed silently.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred years had gone by.
