Chapter 157
🕑 Added 2024-05-10 04:00:01 +0000 UTC"Fully restored my strength."
Lin Yuan's smile receded, his eyes calm.
The sixth rank, equivalent to the Void Refinement Stage in this realm.
He could almost be considered the strongest in the current era, even against the Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect holding the Town-Protector Immortal Mirror.
It was difficult to completely kill a Void Refinement Stage Cultivator, even for him. At most, he could only restrain or suppress them. The methods of these Cultivators were already beyond comprehension.
"From the first to the sixth rank, it's nothing to me, just revisiting the path. The focus lies in the cultivation journey of the sixth rank ahead."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
To establish the sixth rank section of the martial path, even with the Unrivaled Insight, was not an overnight task. It required continuous experimentation from various directions to find the most suitable one.
During this journey, Lin Yuan had two goals in mind.
Firstly, to establish as much as possible the sixth rank section of the martial path of evolution.
At least, to cultivate to the utmost level of the sixth rank.
With five hundred years of residence, Lin Yuan didn't see any issues.
Secondly, to propagate the martial path of evolution system, to firmly establish his own path in this world.
Facilitating the future 'ultimate leap'.
"The cultivation system of this realm's Immortal Dao can be used for reference."
Lin Yuan pondered in his heart. The martial path of evolution he established was nourished by many other evolutionary paths.
Now, borrowing from the cultivation system of the Immortal Dao was naturally within his grasp.
Of course, Lin Yuan was also aware of the importance of balance. His borrowing from the Immortal Dao's cultivation system was just that - borrowing. Regardless of how many cultivation systems and evolutionary paths he borrowed from, the martial cultivation system still had its core. There was a distinction between primary and secondary, otherwise, could it still be called the martial path of evolution in the future?
The martial path of evolution was created by Lin Yuan with great effort and contained his strong personal life imprint.
It was like a towering tree; you could trim its branches and leaves, but the trunk and roots were untouchable.
"Next, I can allocate some energy to elevate my body cultivation realm to the Void Refinement level."
Lin Yuan made a decision in his heart.
Body cultivation was an extension of the Immortal Dao's cultivation system but was more compatible with the martial path of evolution.
Both focused on exploring the physical body.
Of course, in the millions of years of the Central Divine Continent, there had never been a body cultivator at the Void Refinement level.
But Lin Yuan was different. He believed he could accomplish what countless geniuses of this realm couldn't.
Moreover, Lin Yuan had already restored his strength to the sixth rank in martial cultivation. With his unparalleled physique, the cultivation of body techniques would undoubtedly progress rapidly.
Coupled with the control of Unrivaled Insight, paving the way forward, becoming an unprecedented body cultivator at the Void Refinement level should only be a matter of time.
The reason for focusing on body cultivation was that, through deduction, Lin Yuan believed that body cultivation at the Void Refinement level would inevitably give birth to divine abilities of the physical body.
Lin Yuan was quite curious about such means that could greatly enhance one's abilities.
Moreover, it was like sharpening a knife before cutting wood. Understanding body cultivation techniques would also greatly benefit Lin Yuan's own martial path of evolution.
While Lin Yuan was secluded in the Cloud Mist Blessed Land, contemplating his cultivation...
In the Eastern Sea Islands, a storm was brewing.
There were two main events. Firstly, the imminent emergence of the White Jade Island.
After two thousand years of gestation in the depths of the sea, the emergence of the White Jade Island would not only bring about a cultivation paradise comparable to the paradises of the Central Divine Continent.
The spirit medicine and immortal roots grown on the island had also fully matured.
The sinking and rising of White Jade Island over two thousand years had formed a pattern. Therefore, when White Jade Island sank two thousand years ago, many cultivators had already planted spirit medicine and immortal roots on the island in advance.
After two thousand years of growth, most of them had matured, thriving undisturbed at the bottom of the deep sea.
Soβ
For cultivators of the Eastern Sea, whether from the eight hundred side gates (sects), the three thousand left paths, or other wandering cultivators, White Jade Island represented a great opportunity.
There wasn't a single person who wasn't paying attention.
Even the Blood Demon Lord in the north and the Ghost King of the south had their eyes set on White Jade Island.
Apart from the imminent emergence of White Jade Island, the other event that garnered the highest discussion among the Eastern Sea Island cultivators was the destruction of the Black Veil Islands.
This event had two aspects.
Firstly, the mysterious expert who used fire-based Dao techniques to burn the Black Veil Islands to nothingness.
The outside world almost unanimously believed that this mysterious expert was just a hair's breadth away from the level of Void Refinement Stage, or perhaps had already reached an infinite proximity to that level.
Otherwise, how could they possess such transcendent means, causing over a dozen Celestial Lords and tens of True Monarchs of Black Veil Islands to perish without even resisting, directly vanishing without a trace?
On the other hand, it was a mysterious figure, who after incinerating the Black Veil Islands, witnessed the majestic light of the Town-Protector Immortal Artifact from the Daoist Immortal Sect of the Central Divine Continent, descending upon the Black Veil Islands.
The Taihao Mirror was the only immortal artifact in this realm, its light representing boundless epochs and immeasurable power. It was difficult to conceal the movement from the Immortal Sect to the Eastern Sea.
As soon as the mysterious figure destroyed the Black Veil Islands, the majestic light from the Daoist Immortal Sect arrived. It was hard not to link the two.
"What is the origin of that mysterious figure?"
"No matter where they come from, they must have a poor relationship with the Daoist Immortal Sect."
"Indeed, otherwise the Daoist Immortal Sect wouldn't resort to using the Town-Protector Immortal Artifact. Even for Void Refinement Stage Cultivators, it's a significant depletion."
"Such a formidable figure, about to reach the level of Void Refinement Stage, shouldn't just appear out of thin air, right? Could it be someone nurtured by the Ghost King in the south?"
"The Ghost King? The Ghost King is powerful, a Void Refinement Stage Cultivator, but nurturing someone to master the ultimate Yang, wielding the True Sun Fire, that's quite a challenge."
"True, the mysterious figure specializes in True Sun Fire, the nemesis of Ghost Cultivators and Blood Demons. It's unlikely they're from the south or the north."
"Could it be the work of the Savage Wilderness Demon Saints in the west? But it doesn't seem likely. Besides, the demonic path in the west is separated from the Eastern Sea by the Daoist Immortal Sect. It's hard to cross, let alone what would they want after coming here?"
Numerous cultivators in the Eastern Sea were discussing heatedly.
Continuously discussing the origin of that mysterious figure.
After all, in the Eastern Sea Islands, although there was a mix of all kinds, someone so close to the level of Void Refinement Stage Cultivator was extremely rare. Each additional figure like this could influence the current situation in the Eastern Sea Islands.
Blood Demon Sea.
The sea water was as red as blood.
In the depths of the Blood Demon Sea, on a small island, a man dressed in a blood-red robe sat cross-legged.
In front of him, there were illusory images suspended, depicting the recent scene where Lin Yuan's divine spirit destroyed the Black Veil Islands.
"True Sun Fire?"
"How long has it been since a Celestial Lord who mastered True Sun Fire has appeared?"
A faint smile appeared on the man's lips as he pondered.
The True Sun Fire was the most masculine and fierce fire in the world, capable of burning everything to ashes.
"It seems he's not from the Daoist Immortal Sect."
The man in the blood-red robe pondered. Then he spoke, "You there."
"Master."
The blood sea around him rolled, forming a figure that bowed respectfully to the man in the blood-red robe.
"Go and find out about this person for me. Don't offend him. The enemies of the Immortal Sect are our friends. Understand?"
The man in the blood-red robe said lightly.
Yin and Yang Ghost Palace.
On a dark and obscure throne, sat a man with a thin face.
"This level of True Sun Fire..."
The thin-faced man frowned slightly.
As a Ghost Cultivator, even though he had reached the Void Refinement Stage, there was still an instinctual aversion to the True Sun Fire.
But the thin-faced man also knew that this mysterious figure who mastered True Sun Fire should have a grudge against the Daoist Immortal Sect.
In that case.
Regardless of what powers they possessed.
They were allies of the Yin and Yang Ghost Palace.
"Xiao Liu."
The thin-faced man spoke.
A gentle and weak woman appeared.
If one observed carefully, they would notice that this seemingly weak woman's figure was somewhat transparent, indicating she was a Ghost Cultivator.
"Go to the Eastern Sea."
"As much as possible, gather information about this person."
After the thin-faced man finished speaking, he added, "Remember, he may be our ally. Don't act recklessly."
Time passed.
Five years had passed in the blink of an eye.
Cloud Mist Blessed Land.
In a secluded cultivation chamber.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged alone, his blood flowing like rivers and the hot blood, raising the temperature of the entire chamber, distorting the air.
"I've reached the peak of body cultivation and almost ready to attempt a breakthrough to the Void Refinement stage."
Lin Yuan opened his eyes, calming his blood.
"Now, I faintly sense that some power is awakening deep within my bloodline. Is that the divine ability of the physical body?"
An expression of anticipation appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
The divine ability of the physical body varied from person to person, coming from the hidden power within the bloodline.
Before the divine ability of the physical body completely awakened, no one knew what kind of divine ability they would possess.
Of course, regardless of the type of divine ability of the physical body, it was of great use to cultivators, as it was a power independent of the Immortal Dao system.
"Take it slow."
"I'm not in a hurry."
Lin Yuan ceased his cultivation.
In these five years, apart from advancing from the early stage of Divine Transformation to the peak, he had also progressed from the first stage of the sixth rank to the third stage of the sixth rank in the martial cultivation system.
According to this realm's cultivation system, Lin Yuan was now at the pinnacle of the Divine Transformation stage. (Body Cultivation Realm)
"Let's see... it should be time for White Jade Island to emerge."
Lin Yuan's thoughts stirred as he gazed towards the direction of the Eastern Sea.
Rumors had circulated five to six years ago about the imminent emergence of White Jade Island. However, the actual process from its emergence to its complete appearance would take some time.
After all, rising from the depths of the sea to the surface was not an instantaneous process.
But even if it were slow, it was probably floating up by now.
"Perfect. If I want to propagate the martial path and establish influence, I need territory."
"The Daoist Immortal Sect has Mount Daoist Immortal, the Blood Demon Lord controls the north, the Ghost King dominates the south, and the Savage Wilderness Demon Saints hold the west. So, I'll start with White Jade Island for my martial path."
Lin Yuan pondered.
First, he would take control of White Jade Island, then recruit disciples and cultivate the martial path. According to Lin Yuan's plan, within two hundred years, he would dominate the Eastern Sea Islands, and within three hundred years, the martial path would stand alongside the other paths like the demonic, ghostly, and beast/evil paths, as well as the Daoist Immortal Sect.
As for how far the martial path would ultimately go, it depended on Lin Yuan's cultivation level.
Eastern Sea Islands.
Lin Yuan stood tall in the clouds.
"White Jade Island."
Lin Yuan looked into the distance where the spiritual energy surged, resembling the origin of the spiritual energy in the Eastern Sea, continuously spraying vast spiritual energy in all directions.
It was a sign that White Jade Island was about to emerge completely.
"Let's go."
Lin Yuan vanished.
Deep in the Eastern Sea.
Vast spiritual energy pressure enveloped the surroundings.
A massive island slowly rose from below the sea surface.
It was said to be an "island," but in reality, the area of this island was several times larger than Canglan Star, yet compared to the vast ocean and Central Divine Continent, it was indeed just an "island."
"White Jade Island has emerged."
"Hurry, or else we'll miss out on opportunities."
"Yes, let's move quickly."
Tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of Eastern Sea cultivators had long been waiting. The moment White Jade Island appeared, they would rush over.
However, at this moment...
Layers of celestial might shrouded the area.
Dozens of Divine Transformation Stage Celestial Lords stood proudly in the sky.
"It's the Celestial Lords."
"Damn it, the Celestial Lords from the eight hundred side gates and three thousand left paths have actually joined forces. They want to seize White Jade Island."
"This is infuriating. Why don't we have a Celestial Lord backing us?"
Countless Eastern Sea rogue cultivators were both angry and helpless.
In the Eastern Sea Islands, strength was paramount.
This was the rule, the iron law.
"Fellow cultivators."
"We won't let anyone leave empty-handed."
"The peripheral areas of White Jade Island will be open to everyone later."
Under the sky, a female Celestial Lord spoke, her voice resounding in the ears of every cultivator.
"Peripheral areas?"
"That's fine. Although the spiritual energy there is not as abundant as in the inner regions of White Jade Island, it's still better than outside."
"We're weak, after all."
Many Eastern Sea rogue cultivators felt relieved.
At least this time, their trip wouldn't be in vain.
Above White Jade Island.
Under the sky.
Dozens of Divine Transformation Stage Celestial Lords confronted each other.
"This time, as White Bone Sect, we'll take fifty percent of the core area."
A Celestial Lord, whose body resembled white bones, spoke slowly.
This Celestial Lord was known as White Bone Celestial Lord and was the leader of White Bone Sect among the eight hundred side gates.
"The core area's fifty percent? White Bone Celestial Lord, are you out of your mind?"
Another Celestial Lord, exuding a gloomy aura, furrowed his brows.
He was Yin Mountain Celestial Lord, the leader of Yin Mountain Sect among the eight hundred side gates.
Although Yin Mountain Celestial Lord's strength was not as great as White Bone Celestial Lord's, he had dozens of Celestial Lords on his side. No matter how strong White Bone Celestial Lord was, he wouldn't dare to oppose everyone, would he?
"That's right."
"White Bone, you're too greedy."
"The most you can have is one-tenth of the core area."
The first one to speak was the female Celestial Lord, known as Divination Celestial Lord, the leader of Divination Gate among the eight hundred side gates.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha."
"I have reached the pinnacle of Divine Transformation, only a step away from breaking through to the Ancient Saint Realm." (Another way to say Void Refinement Realm)
"Even if I say I want fifty percent of the core area, what can you do to me?"
White Bone Celestial Lord sneered, and an almost perfected Divine Transformation aura began to permeate.
The dozens of Celestial Lords present all felt a slight pressure.
Although they were all Divine Transformation Stage Celestial Lords, most of them were in the early stage, with only a few reaching the middle stage, and there were hardly any in the later stage.
As for White Bone Celestial Lord, he had reached the peak of the Divine Transformation stage, a level that none of them had achieved.
"Eastern Sea Islands, strength is paramount. Since I am the strongest, I naturally deserve the best resources. What objections do you have?"
White Bone Celestial Lord's tone was extremely domineering as he looked at the other Celestial Lords.
"Strongest?"
"White Bone Celestial Lord, you are not the strongest in the Eastern Sea. Have you forgotten about the mysterious powerhouse who incinerated the Black Veil Islands several years ago?"
A Celestial Lord expressed disbelief.
"That person..."
White Bone Celestial Lord remained proud, "With my strength, even if that mysterious powerhouse appears, what can he do?"
White Bone Celestial Lord exuded confidence.
According to the residual aura left behind by the Black Veil Islands, the outside world judged that the mysterious powerhouse was at the peak of the Divine Transformation stage, definitely not reaching the realm of the Ancient Saint.
Given this, White Bone Celestial Lord was fearless.
You are at the peak of Divine Transformation.
So am I.
Who's afraid of whom?
Even if I can't beat you,
You won't win against me either.
"Alright."
"Does anyone else have any objections?"
White Bone Celestial Lord didn't want to waste time.
He was already planning to descend and enjoy the rich spiritual energy of White Jade Island.
The Divine Transformation Celestial Lords around looked at each other and ultimately did not have the courage to oppose White Bone Celestial Lord.
After all, he was a powerhouse at the peak of Divine Transformation.
"Hmph."
White Bone Celestial Lord glanced at everyone and snorted coldly, about to enter White Jade Island.
At that moment, a figure slowly flew out from below White Jade Island.
"Someone went into White Jade Island first?"
The Celestial Lords on the scene were a bit confused.
They had been guarding outside White Jade Island all along.
How could someone enter right under their noses?
Yin Mountain Celestial Lord sensed the aura of the newcomer and his expression changed suddenly.
"It's that mysterious powerhouse."
"Yes, the aura is unmistakable."
Many Celestial Lords were on guard. As the figure emerged from White Jade Island, there was solar power circulating around it.
Observing this figure was like staring directly at the sun overhead.
"Mysterious powerhouse?"
White Bone Celestial Lord's expression turned solemn.
Although he had considered that one day he would confront this fellow Divine Transformation powerhouse, he hadn't expected it to be so soon.
Under the gaze of dozens of Divine Transformation Celestial Lords, Lin Yuan ascended into the sky, reaching the same height as them.
White Bone Celestial Lord's expression changed, finally suppressing the urge to take action.
Before understanding the purpose of this mysterious powerhouse, it was better to seek peace.
Seeing that White Bone Celestial Lord restrained himself, the other Celestial Lords naturally dared not act either.
Lin Yuan looked at the many Divine Transformation Celestial Lords, appearing calm.
"The eight hundred side gates, the three thousand left paths, I am the owner of White Jade Island."
Lin Yuan smiled faintly and said softly, "Yes or no?"
His voice was not loud, but it reached the ears of every Celestial Lord, and even the many Eastern Sea rogue cultivators watching from below heard these two sentences.
Dozens of Celestial Lords looked at each other, silent. Although they didn't speak, their gazes shifted towards White Bone Celestial Lord.
White Bone Celestial Lord wanted fifty percent of the core area of White Jade Island.
This mysterious powerhouse was bold, directly intending to take over the entire White Jade Island.
White Bone Celestial Lord looked at Lin Yuan, his face showing signs of anger. What audacity! Did this mysterious powerhouse think White Bone Celestial Lord was just an ordinary Divine Transformation Celestial Lord?
Did he ever ask White Bone Celestial Lord if he agreed to him becoming the owner of White Jade Island?
Seeing no response from anyone, Lin Yuan's gaze swept over them again, and his expression gradually turned cold.
"Whether you agree or not is not important!"
Boom! As soon as these words were uttered, it was as if an imperial decree had been issued.
White Bone Celestial Lord's expression changed drastically, and the other Celestial Lords around him also showed fear.
"We have seen the owner of White Jade Island."
White Bone Celestial Lord immediately bowed deeply towards Lin Yuan.
The other dozens of Celestial Lords did the same, all bowing deeply towards Lin Yuan.
"We have seen the owner of White Jade Island."
