Chapter 106 Continuous Breakthroughs

The Chi Kun lineage, the twelve Peak Lords are high above, overlooking the entire Chi Kun Star Region.

Even among the many surrounding Star Domains, the Chi Kun lineage is extremely formidable, and the strength of the Red Kun Star Lord is also extremely strong among star lords.

As long as Fang Qing can become a Disciple under a certain Peak Lord, he can walk unhindered at least within the Chi Kun Star Region.

What Fang Qing does not know is that the Peak Lords of the Chi Kun lineage are no longer twelve, but thirteen.

It is just that the matter of Lin Yuan becoming the thirteenth Disciple of the Red Kun Star Lord has not yet been made public, and currently only the Star Lord and the twelve Peak Lords know about it.

Lin Yuan estimates that before Tier 6, even if it is made public,

it will not be made public under the identity of 'Lin Yuan'.

"That's right."

"Brother Lin, how is your examination going?"

Fang Qing asked curiously.

He had been too busy pouring out his excitement just now, and actually forgot to ask about Lin Yuan's examination progress.

"Me? I didn't pass." Lin Yuan said calmly.

He joined the Chi Kun lineage in the identity of the Thirteenth Peak Lord, and in the early stage, it was destined to be impossible to recognize each other with Fang Qing.

It's not that Lin Yuan doesn't trust Fang Qing.

Well, actually, Lin Yuan really doesn't trust Fang Qing that much.

This is not suspecting that Fang Qing will betray him, but rather that for some information, it's not that you don't want to say it, and outsiders won't know it.

A Tier 6 Soul-illusion-type Evolver can browse your general memories just by taking a glance at you.

Therefore, one must be cautious.

Even the Red Kun Star Lord had repeatedly urged him about this matter, so Lin Yuan naturally knew what to do.

Not only would he not inform Fang Qing, but he wouldn't reveal a single bit even to his parents.

However, Lin Yuan was merely hiding this identity; as for the many treatments of a Peak Lord, he could enjoy everything he was supposed to enjoy.

The many evolution paths collected by the Chi Kun lineage? Members of the Chi Kun lineage needed to pay a price if they wanted to browse these evolution paths.

But as a Peak Lord, one can browse them at will.

"Tier 6?"

Lin Yuan's gaze was calm. If it were before participating in the Seven Stars Cave examination,

Lin Yuan would have doubts about stepping into Tier 6.

But now, Lin Yuan is almost certain that he can step into Tier 6.

More than one hundred Tier 6 evolution paths, sixteen evolution paths surpassing Tier 6, and that 'Profound Yellow' evolution path which had never been comprehended by any examinee in ten thousand years—

These were of too great help to Lin Yuan.

Fang Qing chatted with Lin Yuan for a few sentences, then got up and left.

On the way back to his own manor, Fang Qing wore a puzzled look on his face.

"How could Brother Lin not pass the examination?" To be honest, Fang Qing would rather believe that he himself hadn't passed the examination than doubt that Lin Yuan could pass it.

After all, through the contact and sparring these past few days, Fang Qing felt that even if he cultivated hard for another hundred years, he might not necessarily catch up with the current Lin Yuan.

Such a Genius, even placed in the entire Chi Kun Star Region, is dazzling enough. How could he possibly fail to pass the Seven Stars Cave examination?

"It is indeed a bit strange."

The voice of the White-bearded old man sounded.

"However, it is not entirely impossible."

The White-bearded old man analyzed seriously, "In past Seven Stars Cave examinations, apart from Red Mark geniuses and a very small number of special examinees, even Golden Mark ones have individual cases of being eliminated."

Of course, the possibility of a Golden Mark examinee being eliminated halfway is extremely low, but it is not non-existent.

If one's luck is too poor and they die in the first few star caves, they are naturally out.

"There is another possibility."

The White-bearded old man continued, "That is, this Lin Yuan deliberately chose not to pass the Seven Stars Cave examination."

"Deliberately not passing the examination?"

Fang Qing widened his eyes.

Is there really someone who doesn't want such a good thing?

"Lad Fang."

The White-bearded old man glanced at Fang Qing, "Becoming a Disciple under a Peak Lord of the Chi Kun lineage has benefits, but naturally, it also has drawbacks."

"While gaining the protection of the Peak Lord, one must serve the Chi Kun lineage, obey the Peak Lord's orders, and might even be sent to the Alien Race Battlefield."

The White-bearded old man spoke.

Generally speaking, the Red Kun Star Lord has been in secluded cultivation year-round and pays no attention to worldly affairs. The entire Chi Kun lineage basically serves the twelve Peak Lords.

Central Continent Manor.

The underground training ground of the main building.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged and began to continue comprehending the 'Profound Yellow' evolution path.

This evolution path was far too profound and vast. Even after comprehending it for nearly ten days, Lin Yuan had only grasped one percent of the Rank 1 Chapter.

It far surpassed all the evolution paths Lin Yuan had ever contacted.

"Profound Yellow?"

Lin Yuan immersed his entire mind into it.

In a trance, Lin Yuan arrived on a boundless continent.

A thick, ancient, and vast aura rushed toward his face.

[Your Heaven-Defying Comprehension allows you to comprehend the 'Profound Yellow' evolution path, and your understanding of this evolution path deepens continuously.]

[Your Heaven-Defying Comprehension allows you to comprehend the 'Profound Yellow' evolution path, and your understanding of this evolution path deepens continuously.]

[Your Heaven-Defying Comprehension allows you to comprehend the 'Profound Yellow' evolution path, and your understanding of this evolution path deepens continuously.]

The more Lin Yuan comprehended, the more shocked he became. Under his Heaven-Defying Comprehension, various essences were continuously analyzed.

"What kind of existence could possibly create such an evolution path? Can my Martial Dao Evolution Path and my Taiji reach this level one day?"

Lin Yuan pondered upon the 'Profound Yellow' evolution path.

Two days later.

Lin Yuan suspended his comprehension.

"Not even two percent?"

Lin Yuan roughly sensed his comprehension progress.

The two percent here was not two percent of the entire Profound Yellow Evolution Path.

Rather, it was two percent of the Rank 1 Chapter of the Profound Yellow Evolution Path.

"It's fine, take it slow. What I have the most right now is time," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

A Tier 4 Evolver can live for six thousand years, while a Tier 6 Evolver can live from twenty thousand to fifty thousand years.

Lin Yuan is still young now, only twenty years old. In front of such a long Lifespan, he doesn't even count as a cub.

Furthermore——

Lin Yuan's time far exceeds the numbers on the surface.

The shuttles performed by the Gate of Myriad Realms and the passage of time in different worlds had not been factored in at all.

"Tier 4, Eleventh Stage."

Several days later, Lin Yuan opened his eyes again, and his body's aura rose by another notch.

This Breakthrough in strength did not exceed Lin Yuan's expectations. Under the premise of comprehending such an evolution path, if he still couldn't break through his Realm, he might as well crash his head into a wall and die.

Inhale.

Exhale.

After the Breakthrough, Lin Yuan's Realm improved, and his body naturally began to devour the energy in the air, slowly undergoing transformation.

"Calculated by time, in a little over a month, the guard team should arrive."

Lin Yuan did not rush to purchase cosmic rare treasures and spiritual objects to promote the transformation of his Physical Body.

As a Disciple of the Red Kun Star Lord and the Thirteenth Peak Lord of the Chi Kun lineage, Lin Yuan had the authority to apply for 'scarlet spirit liquid'.

This time, when the guard team set out from the Crimson Kun Main Star, Lin Yuan had applied for a pot of scarlet spirit liquid in advance, having the guard team bring it along.

One or two months later.

Outside Canglan Star.

A dark-colored spaceship stopped.

"We have finally reached our destination."

Inside the spaceship's cockpit sat thirteen figures.

The auras of these thirteen figures were profound, especially the leading one; merely sitting there caused the surrounding space to faintly solidify.

"This time we came here to protect the Thirteenth Peak Lord."

"If anything happens to the Thirteenth Peak Lord, there is no need for us to continue existing either, understand?"

The leading figure was a bald middle-aged man. Gazing at Canglan Star in the distance, he slowly said.

"Understood."

The twelve figures standing behind said in unison.

They had been carefully selected by the Red Kun Star Lord and were absolutely loyal; otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to serve as the personal guards of the Thirteenth Peak Lord.

Central Continent Manor.

Lin Yuan had just finished cultivating.

He received the message that the guard team had arrived.

"Goddess of Wisdom, I have subordinates who want to enter Canglan Star."

Lin Yuan connected to the Goddess of Wisdom and said directly.

Medium-level life planets like Canglan Star strictly prohibited Tier 6 life forms from entering.

After all, Tier 6 life forms are also called 'Star-Falling Class'. If such an existence harbors malicious intent and enters the interior of a planet, erupting suddenly, even the planet's defense System would not have time to react.

It would directly lead to devastation of all living creatures.

Therefore, every Tier 6 life form needs to report before descending upon a planet; otherwise, once discovered, it would lead directly to a Star Domain-level wanted order.

Through layer upon layer of authorization from the Goddess of Wisdom,

Lin Yuan's guard team finally passed the checkpoint and arrived outside the Central Continent Manor.

The main building's reception hall.

The thirteen members of the guard team stood respectfully in front of Lin Yuan.

"Peak Lord."

The leading bald middle-aged man bowed and saluted.

"Peak Lord."

The twelve Tier 5 guards behind also respectfully saluted.

"Rise."

Lin Yuan curiously looked at the bald middle-aged man.

This person should be the captain of the guard team, a Tier 6 Evolver.

To be honest, this was the first time Lin Yuan had seen a Tier-6-level existence with his own eyes.

"What is your name?"

Lin Yuan asked.

"Peak Lord, my name is Hou Ming."

The bald middle-aged man said in a low voice.

Next,

Lin Yuan inquired about the names of the other twelve guards one by one.

"From now on, you will be the bodyguards of this manor."

"Unless it is a last resort, do not display your strength."

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and instructed.

With his current identity, even if it wasn't made public that he was a Disciple of the Red Kun Star Lord, he was still the arena tournament champion and a Tier 4 Evolver.

Hiring a few bodyguards couldn't be more normal.

Of course, it was limited to normal bodyguards.

If others knew that the bodyguards Lin Yuan hired were Tier 5 and Tier 6,

You must know that currently, the strongest Evolver on Canglan Star was only Tier 5, and the number did not exceed five.

These few Tier 5 Evolvers could only be fully mobilized by the Goddess of Wisdom.

As for Tier 6 Evolvers—Canglan Star was merely a medium-level life planet and could not attract Evolvers of this level.

Most Tier 6 Evolvers were permanently stationed on high-level life planets, or simply on the main stars of star Systems and Star Domains.

"Also, do not address me as Peak Lord in the future; just call me Mr. Lin."

Lin Yuan said.

Although the title Peak Lord made it difficult for people to associate it with the Peak Lords of the Chi Kun lineage, as long as the strength of these thirteen bodyguards was not exposed, there shouldn't be any problem.

But for some matters, it was naturally best not to leave any loose ends if possible.

"Yes, Mr. Lin."

The bald middle-aged man, Hou Ming, immediately said.

"From now on, I will hold down the fort in the main building, while the others patrol the manor."

Hou Ming asked.

"No problem."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Since the Red Kun Star Lord had them serve as Lin Yuan's guard team, he definitely trusted them quite a bit. Therefore, regarding how to protect and how to arrange things, Lin Yuan tried his best not to interfere.

"This is the 'scarlet spirit liquid' requested by Mr. Lin."

The bald middle-aged man, Hou Ming, took out a pot-shaped container.

"This is the life-saving token that the Star Lord asked me to hand over to Mr. Lin."

With a solemn expression, Hou Ming took out three crimson tokens.

"Alright."

Lin Yuan put them away.

"Then we will head out first."

The bald middle-aged man, Hou Ming, immediately led the 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 filled with the 'scarlet spirit liquid'.

"scarlet spirit liquid?"

Lin Yuan's face was filled with anticipation.

Senior Brother had a rather high evaluation of this kind of spiritual liquid,

however, because the scarlet spirit liquid was unique to the Chi Kun lineage, Lin Yuan had never tried its effects before.

"Let's try it first."

Lin Yuan opened the pot's mouth, and a drop of scarlet spirit liquid floated out.

This drop of scarlet spirit liquid radiated a red light. Just by gazing at it, Lin Yuan could feel the massive energy contained within.

"Come on."

Lin Yuan's thoughts stirred slightly.

That drop of scarlet spirit liquid flew into his mouth.

Boom.

As the spiritual liquid entered his throat, it instantly turned into scorching energy, beginning to be absorbed by every single cell of Lin Yuan's body.

Although the scarlet spirit liquid was named with the word 'scarlet', the energy attribute it contained was extremely gentle, not as scorching and irritable as fire-type energy.

Not to mention that the Taiji created by Lin Yuan already included the Dao of the Sun; even if it didn't, he could easily absorb this drop of scarlet spirit liquid.

"The transformation is complete."

A moment later, Lin Yuan opened his eyes, a look of satisfaction appearing on his face.

"This pot of scarlet spirit liquid is enough for me to use until Tier 6."

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 completely crimson tokens and began to observe them carefully.

These three life-saving tokens were completely unique to Lin Yuan; the previous twelve Disciples, or even the junior Disciple from ten thousand years ago who, just like Lin Yuan, comprehended the 'Profound Yellow' evolution path, had never possessed them.

"Although all three tokens are life-saving tokens, they have three different uses."

Lin Yuan probed his mind into the tokens and thought to himself.

The first token belongs to the shifting token.

Once Lin Yuan suffers an unstoppable attack,

this token will automatically activate, forcibly tearing apart space for a random teleportation.

The second token is an attack token.

It is actively activated by Lin Yuan.

As long as it is crushed, it will form a terrifying strike that Tier 6 Evolvers basically cannot block.

Evolvers surpassing Tier 6 must also treat it with caution; a slight carelessness will result in severe injury.

As for the third token, it is a defense token.

It can form a defensive barrier around Lin Yuan's body,

blocking all attacks, including spiritual attacks and physical attacks.

This token is also the most important because as long as it is activated,

the Red Kun Star Lord will immediately know and rush over at the fastest speed.

"Teacher is truly thoughtful."

Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart.

A guard team of Tier 6 Evolvers, plus these three life-saving tokens—

even if Lin Yuan wanted to die, it would be difficult.

Of course,

such life-saving methods

are best left unused if possible.

Nowadays, Lin Yuan's public identity is merely that of an arena tournament champion.

It is simply not worth it for alien races to mobilize a huge price.

At most, they would secretly send people to exert influence, just like the previous 'Yao Qingqing'.

Time flowed by.

Another month passed.

The underground training ground.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.

The aura on his body began to rise once again.
