Chapter 154 Century-Long Planning

Yunwu Blessed Land.

Immortal Qi drifted mistily.

At the pavilion on the mountain Peak, Lin Yuan lay on a reclining chair, leisurely inhaling and exhaling the 'Congenital Purple Qi' that only appeared in the early morning.

Congenital Purple Qi was a type of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, capable of eliminating hidden injuries and nourishing the Physical Body, providing immense help to the Body Cultivator lineage.

Compared to twenty years ago, Lin Yuan's complexion was much better, and his body had also grown a lot stronger.

"Young Master, this is the freshly brewed Yunwu Immortal Tea."

Chunhua and Qiuyue, two Golden Core Stage female Cultivators, respectfully stepped forward.

Placing the Yunwu Immortal Tea in front of Lin Yuan, the two women familiarly came to his side and stretched out their slender hands to massage him.

"Young Master, cultivating the body Cultivation Technique is too hard for you. Do you need to take a rest?" Qiuyue said softly.

"No need."

"Both of you, step down."

Lin Yuan said casually without lifting his eyelids.

"Yes."

Qiuyue's expression was somewhat disappointed. After respectfully bowing, she left the mountain Peak pavilion.

On the mountain path.

Chunhua and Qiuyue whispered to each other.

"Young Master has such strong perseverance, actually cultivating the Body Cultivator lineage to the Golden Core Stage. Just how much pain must one endure for that?"

Chunhua exclaimed in a tone of amazement.

Although the Body Cultivator lineage did not rely on Spiritual Roots,

during cultivation, one needed to endure endless pain.

Moreover, its consumption of resources was much higher than that of Cultivators of the same period.

As a famous Immortal Third Generation of the Moral Immortal Sect, Lin Yuan certainly wouldn't lack resources.

But growing up in luxury and being able to endure the pain when cultivating the body Cultivation Technique also shocked everyone else.

"A Golden Core Stage Body Cultivator has vast blood and Qi, a powerful physique, and an unmatched Physical Body. Who knows how many female Cultivators outside are eager to have a Dao Companion with profound attainments in body cultivation."

Qiuyue couldn't help saying in a low voice.

"Stop acting so coquettish." Chunhua glanced at Qiuyue. "What kind of person is the Young Master? Even without Spiritual Root Aptitude, he is not someone you can fantasize about."

"Sister Chunhua, I only revere the Young Master and absolutely do not have that kind of intention." Qiuyue said immediately.

"What kind of intention it is, just keep it clear in your own heart." Chunhua shook her head.

Even though they were sent to serve Jun Wuji with the preparation of sacrificing themselves,

that required Jun Wuji to be willing. As for forcing it? Chunhua and Qiuyue naturally wouldn't dare.

"However, once the Young Master Cultivates the body Cultivation Technique to the Golden Core Stage, it's pretty much at the limit. As for the remaining Nascent Soul Stage Body Cultivators, not many have ever appeared in our Central Earth Divine Continent."

Qiuyue said in a low voice.

Although the Body Cultivator lineage possessed peerless combat strength, its cost-effectiveness was too low. Not only did it require massive amounts of resources, but it also could not prolong life.

Most importantly, the extreme pain that needed to be borne when breaking through from the Golden Core Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage was something no Cultivator could withstand.

"Hard to say."

"After all, before this, who could have imagined that the Young Master would achieve such accomplishments on the body cultivation path?"

"Perhaps in the future, the Young Master will step into the Nascent Soul Stage body cultivation."

Chunhua said.

A Nascent Soul Stage Body Cultivator was not considered weak even in the Moral Immortal Sect, and placed anywhere in the Central Earth Divine Continent, they would be an unfettered veteran monster dominating a region.

"The Body Cultivator lineage has been cultivated to the Soul Transformation Stage, and still hasn't given birth to a Physical Body Divine Ability?"

At the mountain Peak pavilion, Lin Yuan finished inhaling and exhaling the 'Congenital Purple Qi' and thought, shaking his head slightly.

"The body Cultivation Technique I Cultivate was comprehended and synthesized from seventy-three top-tier body Cultivation Techniques. Could it be that the so-called Physical Body Divine Ability is truly just a legend?"

Lin Yuan frowned.

"However, even without the birth of a Physical Body Divine Ability, the body Cultivation Technique has brought me a lot of help. In terms of combat strength, a Soul Transformation Stage Body Cultivator can almost sweep across the same Realm."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Over the years, Lin Yuan intentionally revealed his talent in the Body Cultivator lineage, and some time ago, he even made public his strength as a Golden Core Stage Body Cultivator.

This was precisely to ask his eldest brother, second sister, and parents for cultivation resources.

If Lin Yuan were just an ordinary person with a massive demand for cultivation resources, it would most likely attract the attention of others.

But if Lin Yuan was infatuated with the Body Cultivator lineage,

it was well known that the cultivation of the Body Cultivator lineage consumed resources far exceeding Cultivators of the same Realm.

Coupled with Lin Yuan's identity as an Immortal Third Generation, for a Realm that could be broken through with one portion of resources, for safety's sake, he would ask for ten or a hundred portions to prevent accidents.

As well as occasionally going out to scrounge resources.

Combined together,

nowadays, besides the Body Cultivator lineage reaching the Soul Transformation Stage, his Martial Dao Realm had even recovered to the fifth-order Peak.

He had already begun Soul compatibility transformation, and stepping into the sixth order to return to his Peak was just a matter of the near future.

Lin Yuan chose to disclose his body cultivation talent, besides acquiring resources,

was more importantly to cover up his own Martial Dao aura.

Martial Dao.

Unlike the Immortal Dao.

The two belonged to completely different cultivation systems.

It was similar to the Yao Dao of the west, the Demonic Path of the north, and the Ghost Dao of the south.

For the Moral Immortal Sect, whether it was Martial Dao, the Demonic Path, Ghost Dao, or Yao Dao, they all belonged to heterodox and Demonic Paths.

Once discovered, they could be directly suppressed.

This was a struggle of the Great Dao, unrelated to right or wrong, unrelated to good or bad.

Taking Jun Wuji as an example, without Spiritual Roots he could not Cultivate immortality, but he could walk the Ghost Dao or Cultivate the Demonic Path.

Both could avoid the problem of Spiritual Roots.

But from beginning to end, whether it was Jun Wuji's maternal grandfather or his parents, they would rather think of using the 'Nine Heavens Glazed Water'

than ever consider letting Jun Wuji switch to cultivating the Ghost Dao.

The Moral Immortal Sect had suppressed the Central Earth Divine Continent for hundreds of thousands of years. If word got out that its own Disciple was a Ghost Dao or Demonic Path Cultivator, his ancestors would probably be angered back to life.

Furthermore, Jun Wuji himself had never thought of switching to Cultivate the Ghost Dao or Demonic Path.

Disciples of the Moral Immortal Sect were proud and had always looked down upon the Ghost Dao, Yao Dao, and Demonic Path. Even though Jun Wuji lacked Spiritual Roots, he disdained taking a cultivation path outside of the Immortal Dao.

"This is the struggle of the Great Dao."

Lin Yuan's expression was slightly solemn.

This world was an Immortal World; immortal Cultivators were the mainstream. As for other Yao Dao, Demonic Path, and Ghost Dao, they were all scattered, and if they dared to riot, they would be directly suppressed.

For hundreds of thousands of years, it had always been like this.

If Lin Yuan's Martial Dao strength was discovered, there was only one possibility.

That was being beaten to death.

Of course, with Lin Yuan's background,

he might survive, but his Martial Dao cultivation would also be crippled,

kept in captivity to await death.

Wanting Martial Dao and Immortal Dao to coexist?

It was possible.

But this wasn't something achieved just by talking.

Nor was it bestowed out of familial affection.

Rather, it required absolute strength.

If one day Martial Dao could barely resist the Immortal Dao,

at least under the suppression of the Moral Immortal Sect, its Legacy would not be cut off.

then it could manage to linger on like the Yao Dao, Ghost Dao, and Demonic Path.

If it could contend with the Moral Immortal Sect without falling into a disadvantage,

then it could share the resource-rich Central Earth Divine Continent with the Moral Immortal Sect.

But the latter was very difficult.

For hundreds of thousands of years, the Yao Dao, Demonic Path, and Ghost Dao had joined forces more than once, only to be crushed by the Moral Immortal Sect with absolute power.

"I want to spread the Martial Dao Evolution Path."

"And I am bound to face the Moral Immortal Sect."

Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart.

For the Martial Dao Evolution Path to gain a foothold in this world, the Moral Immortal Sect was an insurmountable hurdle.

Furthermore, the Moral Immortal Sect Sect Leader was a Refining Void Ancient Saint, holding the sect-protecting Immortal Artifact, capable of exerting the combat strength of the sixth-order Peak or even half-step seventh-order.

Such terrifying strength also brought quite a bit of pressure to Lin Yuan.

"Take it slow."

"There are still four hundred and eighty years of stay time remaining."

"As long as I can Cultivate to the sixth-order Peak, I will be able to contend with the strongest combat power of the Moral Immortal Sect."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

As for breaking through to the seventh order, Lin Yuan was unsure. In five hundred years, wanting to pioneer the Martial Dao Evolution Path to the seventh-order level was no simple matter.

This wasn't just cultivating to the seventh order, but rather pioneering the evolution path to the seventh order.

The difference in difficulty between the two was unknown by how many folds. Even with Lin Yuan's Heaven-Defying Comprehension, he didn't have much certainty.

Which of those seventh-order evolution paths in the Main World hadn't been created over thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years?

Moreover, most of the founders who created seventh-order Evolver paths were Eighth-Order Evolvers or ninth-order Evolvers. With such a commanding overview, the difficulty would plummet significantly.

"Never mind the Moral Immortal Sect for now."

Lin Yuan reined in his thoughts. He wanted to spread the Martial Dao in this world and prepare for the future 'Ultimate Leap'.

First, he had to lay the Foundation for the spread of the Martial Dao Evolution Path.

The rise and prosperity of a cultivation system could definitely not happen in a short time.

If Lin Yuan waited until his strength reached the sixth-order Peak, it would probably be several hundred years later.

By then, even if he could contend with the strongest combat power of the Moral Immortal Sect, what would he use to spread the Martial Dao in the remaining one or two hundred years?

In a hundred or two years, I'm afraid not even a single third-order or fourth-order Martial Dao practitioner could be born.

By the time Lin Yuan left, facing the counterattack of the Moral Immortal Sect, the Martial Dao would probably not even have the qualification to resist and would be easily crushed to pieces.

Therefore,

if he wanted to spread the Martial Dao,

he had to lay out his plans in advance.

Develop over four to five hundred years.

In this way, even if Lin Yuan left,

the Martial Dao could still survive.

As for how long it could actually survive,

that was not something Lin Yuan could interfere with.

Lin Yuan could only do everything he could within the five-hundred-year stay in this world.

"The World Consciousness of this Realm…" Lin Yuan sensed carefully for a moment.

"The suppression of other cultivation systems is not very severe," Lin Yuan deduced in his heart.

World Consciousnesses differed from one another.

The World Consciousness of the Realm Lin Yuan traversed in his fourth time was extremely 'stingy' and could not tolerate other cultivation systems.

Meanwhile, the Immortal World Lin Yuan was currently in was quite alright; otherwise, the Yao Dao, Ghost Dao, and Demonic Path wouldn't coexist.

"Twenty years of hibernation…"

"Now we can begin laying out the chess pieces and planning."

Lin Yuan's gaze was calm.

Laying chess pieces and planning also depended on strength.

If Lin Yuan had only recovered to the second or third-order strength, equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Stage and Golden Core Stage of this world,

facing a group of Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation Stage bigshots, preserving his life would be enough, so what talk of planning?

But right now,

Lin Yuan was already at the fifth-order Peak.

Equivalent to the Soul Transformation Peak, relying on his many personal means, he could probably lock horns with a Refining Void Ancient Saint.

naturally he had the qualification to lay out plans.

"To spread the Martial Dao Evolution Path, one must first establish a faction, a faction purely consisting of Martial Dao practitioners."

"And to establish a faction, the prerequisite is having territory."

Lin Yuan's thoughts stirred slightly.

A map appeared before his eyes.

At the center of the map was the Central Earth Divine Continent, which was the sphere of influence of the Moral Immortal Sect.

The northern side presented a blood-red and black color, which was the territory of the Blood Demon Lord and also the Holy Land for Demonic Cultivators.

As for the western side, it was the region of wild Yao Beasts. It was said that the 'Demon Saint Nest' protected by the wild Yao Beasts could nurture a Yao Saint comparable to a Refining Void Ancient Saint.

In the southern side, ghost Qi was gloomy and eerie, belonging to the nether ghost Cultivators. Rumor had it that nether ghost Cultivators originated from the mysterious Nether Ghost Palace, which connected to the netherworld of the underworld.

Lin Yuan's gaze continuously swept across the map.

Whether it was the Central Earth Divine Continent, or the northern, western, and southern sides,

factions were already entrenched in them. If Martial Dao wanted to develop, choosing any of these three places would be very difficult.

"The east."

Lin Yuan looked toward the eastern region of the map.

That place bordered the East Sea and was a place for heterodox and unorthodox paths.

Simply put, it belonged to a 'three-no' zone, filled with numerous Cultivators of unknown identities.

Many Cultivators who offended the Moral Immortal Sect would flee to the East Sea Islands. As long as they didn't court death, they lived quite freely.

"We can start from the East Sea."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

At least in the East Sea Islands, the sources of factions were complex, and Martial Dao mixed in would not appear prominent.

"You go to the East Sea, spread the Martial Dao, and establish a faction."

Lin Yuan's thoughts stirred slightly, and an illusory figure walked out from within his body.

As soon as this illusory figure made contact with the outside world, it rapidly solidified, exuding Taiyang power all over its body with bright eyes, standing there quietly.

It was precisely Lin Yuan's 'Yang God'.

Which was the Solar Nascent Soul.

At the fifth order of Martial Dao, one could give birth to a corresponding Martial Dao Primordial Spirit.

The Martial Dao Primordial Spirit was equivalent to a 'Clone', sharing the same consciousness with the main body.

And its strength would not be much weaker than the main body.

Currently, when Lin Yuan's 'Yang God' erupted with full force, there should be hardly any opponents below the Refining Void Ancient Saint level.

Swoosh.

The Yang God's figure disappeared.

According to Lin Yuan's instructions, it headed toward the distant East Sea.

In fact, Lin Yuan and the Yang God shared consciousness. The perspective seen by the Yang God could also be seen by Lin Yuan; chatting with the Yang God was much like talking to oneself.

Hum.

Lin Yuan's Yang God transformed from solid to virtual, easily passing through the numerous Restrictions of the Yunwu Blessed Land and arriving at the outside world.

"This time, it will probably take a while before I can come back."

Lin Yuan muttered a sentence and turned to fly toward the east.

Cloud Mist Mountain Peak pavilion.

Lin Yuan still sat cross-legged.

Dispatching the Yang God was originally one of Lin Yuan's plans.

Even later on, Lin Yuan would continue to dispatch the Yin God.

The two great Martial Dao Primordial Spirits were equivalent to Lin Yuan's two major 'Clones'.

One body divided into three, sharing consciousness.

In addition,

having the Primordial Spirit outside

had another benefit.

That was even if Lin Yuan's main body perished,

it would not be a complete death.

Taiyin gave birth to Taiyang.

Taiyang gave birth to Taiyin.

Yin and Yang gave birth to Taiji.

Taiji gave birth to all things.

As long as the Yin God and Yang God were present, they could regenerate a Physical Body.

By the same logic, as long as the Physical Body was present, even if the Yin God and Yang God perished outside,

they could condense a new Yin God and Yang God using the Physical Body.

Main body, Yin God, Yang God.

As long as one of them survived, Lin Yuan could not die.

Therefore,

Lin Yuan dispatching the Yang God and Yin God was also to increase his own self-preservation ability.

Half a month later.

"I'm about to recover to the sixth-order strength."

Lin Yuan sensed carefully for a moment and thought in his heart.

"Body Cultivator."

Lin Yuan's expression was pensive.

For the Body Cultivator lineage, wanting to break through to the Void Refining Realm was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

It was almost impossible to achieve.

For hundreds of thousands of years in the Central Earth Divine Continent,

not a single Void Refining Body Cultivator had ever been born.

Just as Lin Yuan was pondering the Void Refining Realm of the Body Cultivator lineage, attempting to deduce it with his Heaven-Defying Comprehension,

his expression suddenly changed slightly.

He raised his head and looked outside the Yunwu Blessed Land.
