Chapter 158: Establishing a Dao Tradition, Ultimate Physical Body

Above White Jade Island, Lin Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm.

Led by White Bone Heavenly Lord, dozens of Soul Transformation Stage heavenly lords bowed deeply, their postures respectful.

"Rise."

Lin Yuan was in a good mood.

Earlier, he took a stroll inside White Jade Island and found the environment quite good, making it very suitable as a starting point for spreading Martial Dao.

Treating White Jade Island as the origin of Martial Dao was already the best choice, at least in the initial stage.

"Yes."

White Bone Heavenly Lord and the other Soul Transformation Stage heavenly lords breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

Compared to Lin Yuan's good mood, the shock in the hearts of these Soul Transformation Stage heavenly lords could only be described as earth-shattering.

Especially White Bone Heavenly Lord at the head, whose heart was stirred with towering waves.

Just when Lin Yuan uttered the four words 'Whether it is or not, it is' a moment ago, White Bone Heavenly Lord had already prepared to strike.

What a joke?

White Jade Island was a once-in-several-thousand-years great Opportunity in the East China Sea, on what grounds should Lin Yuan's single sentence, 'I am the Lord of White Jade Island', make them hand over this treasure island on a platter?

However, before White Bone Heavenly Lord could make a move, he felt an ocean-like pressure descending upon him.

At that instant, White Bone Heavenly Lord felt as if he had returned to his Foundation Establishment Stage days, witnessing two Nascent Soul Stage true monarchs fighting and killing each other.

That overwhelming coercion made White Bone Heavenly Lord's mind tremble, and he unhesitatingly chose to acknowledge Lin Yuan's identity as the master of White Jade Island.

Because White Bone Heavenly Lord realized that if he didn't do so, his end would be miserable, extremely miserable.

He might even suffer complete destruction of body and Soul.

Compared to his own little life, what was a mere White Jade Island?

White Bone Heavenly Lord glanced at the other pale-faced Soul Transformation Stage heavenly lords, knowing that their encounters were probably the same as his.

"This mysterious expert is definitely not at the Peak of Soul Transformation. He has at least, at least touched the threshold of Refining Void, perhaps he is a half-step Refining Void Ancient Saint."

White Bone Heavenly Lord felt helpless in his heart.

From the Soul Transformation Stage to the Refining Void Stage, one needed to cross many major stages.

The Peak of Soul Transformation only meant reaching the Peak and the extreme of the Soul Transformation Stage.

As for the distance to the Refining Void Realm, it was still far out of reach.

This was also why Refining Void Ancient Saints were so rare in this realm.

Specifically speaking.

After the Peak of Soul Transformation, there were still three or four stages to walk.

They were respectively touching the threshold of Refining Void, stepping half a foot into Refining Void, stepping one foot into Refining Void, and squeezing most of the body into Refining Void, and so on.

In fact, in the Main World, Tier 5 to Tier 6 was similar, requiring Soul compatibility transformation.

Every extra point of transformation increased one's strength by a notch.

When Lin Yuan's Soul Transformation compatibility reached one hundred percent, his combat power even reached the Tier 6 threshold.

Of course.

This saying was of little significance to the vast majority of Cultivators.

In the eyes of Nascent Soul Stage true monarchs, the Peak of Soul Transformation and having most of the body squeezed into Refining Void were about the same.

And at this moment.

For White Bone Heavenly Lord, who deeply felt the coercion emitted by Lin Yuan, he felt that Lin Yuan at least possessed the strength of a half-step Refining Void Ancient Saint.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to give such a feeling of irresistible oppression purely based on his aura.

"Return from whence you came."

Lin Yuan glanced at the dozens of trembling Soul Transformation Stage heavenly lords who didn't know whether to leave or stay, and said indifferently.

"Then, Lord of White Jade Island, we shall take our leave first."

The dozens of Soul Transformation Stage heavenly lords felt as if they had been granted amnesty, and they all turned into escape lights and fled far away, just like mice seeing a cat.

Lin Yuan watched as the many Soul Transformation Stage heavenly lords left.

He did not make a move.

With his strength, he could certainly keep all these dozens of Soul Transformation Stage heavenly lords behind.

But it was meaningless.

The East China Sea was vast; although the cultivation environment was far inferior to the Central Earth Divine Continent, its area was not much inferior.

If Lin Yuan killed all the Soul Transformation Stage heavenly lords, the entire East China Sea Islands would inevitably fall into even greater chaos.

Moreover, it would attract the attention of the Moral Immortal Sect, and the Blood Demon Sea and Nether Ghost Palace might also take the Opportunity to reach their hands into the East China Sea.

For Lin Yuan, these Soul Transformation Stage heavenly lords in the East China Sea living would not affect him, and dying would make the situation even more chaotic, which was why he didn't have the intent to kill.

Above the sea surface, countless East China Sea Loose Cultivators watched helplessly as the dozens of heavenly lords, who originally looked like heavenly might, discussed how to carve up White Jade Island.

Then, a figure walked out from within White Jade Island, and before saying a few words, claimed to be the Lord of White Jade Island.

What was even more incredible was that White Bone Heavenly Lord and the other heavenly lords had no objections at all and directly bowed down.

This was simply a fantasy.

And now, White Bone Heavenly Lord and that group of Soul Transformation Stage beings left White Jade Island without any hesitation, as if the current White Jade Island was no longer some sweet pastry, but a land of nightmares.

"What on earth happened?"

"Why did the heavenly lords all leave?"

"What is the background of that person who walked out from White Jade Island? Just because he says he is the Lord of White Jade Island, he is the Lord of White Jade Island?"

Countless East China Sea Loose Cultivators whispered among themselves. This scene was too incredible. The sky-like Soul Transformation Stage heavenly lords were actually so 'amiable'?

"I remember now. This person should be the mysterious expert who burned down the Black Veil Islands a few years ago. I once went to the Black Veil Islands, and I still cannot forget the aura of that utmost-yang Sun True Fire."

"So it turns out to be that expert."

"That shouldn't be right. Didn't they say that expert was only at the Peak of Soul Transformation? Why could he make White Bone Heavenly Lord and the other heavenly lords retreat?"

"Isn't that very simple? In the East China Sea Islands, the strong are respected."

"White Bone Heavenly Lord, who is also at the Peak of Soul Transformation, only dared to ask for fifty percent of White Jade Island's core area."

"As for this expert, he directly took the entire White Jade Island as his own. One can only say that his strength far exceeds the Peak of Soul Transformation."

The many East China Sea Loose Cultivators chimed in one after another, and actually deduced most of the matter.

In fact, it wasn't hard to think about. Whether in the East China Sea or the Central Earth Divine Continent, strength decided everything.

White Bone Heavenly Lord and the other Soul Transformation Stage beings retreating seemed unimaginable, but upon careful thought, the reasons behind it became clear.

Beneath the vault of heaven, Lin Yuan cast his gaze down at the countless Loose Cultivators of the East China Sea Islands.

"I am Yuanyang, the Lord of White Jade Island. Today, I establish the White Jade Pavilion to widely recruit Disciples. Anyone who passes the test and enters the White Jade Pavilion will be qualified to enter the inner and core regions of White Jade Island to Cultivate."

Lin Yuan spoke, his voice gentle, yet it resounded in the ears of every Cultivator.

Yuanyang was the name Lin Yuan gave to this Yang God Clone, and the White Jade Pavilion was the force Lin Yuan intended to establish to spread the Martial Dao Evolution Path.

After saying this sentence, Lin Yuan disappeared above White Jade Island.

And the countless East China Sea Cultivators below exploded with excitement.

"Yuanyang? So this mysterious expert is named Yuanyang?"

"Did you hear? As long as you pass the test and enter the White Jade Pavilion, you can enter the inner region of White Jade Island to Cultivate."

"I want to apply to join the White Jade Pavilion. It's good to enjoy the shade under a big tree. Lord of Yuanyang Island suppressed dozens of heavenly lords by himself, following him is definitely not wrong."

Many Loose Cultivators were quite tempted.

Of course, everyone was also very clear that since Yuanyang mentioned 'passing the test', it meant that not everyone could join the White Jade Pavilion.

But anyway, trying it out could never be wrong, and there was nothing to lose.

The matter of Lin Yuan occupying White Jade Island, establishing the force White Jade Pavilion, and widely recruiting Disciples caused shockwaves not only in the East China Sea Islands, but also caught the attention of the Moral Immortal Sect entrenched in the Central Earth Divine Continent.

Moral Immortal Mountain.

The highest main hall.

The high-level Cultivators of the Immortal Sect gathered together.

Hum.

On the high main seat within the hall, the figure of Sect Leader Mu Qingliu appeared.

"Sect Leader."

Everyone stood up and bowed.

"Speak directly."

Sect Leader Mu Qingliu spoke.

"That mysterious expert who made a move against the Black Veil Islands has appeared again, calling himself 'Yuanyang'. He has occupied White Jade Island, established the force White Jade Pavilion, and is widely recruiting Disciples."

Mu Mengting said immediately.

Over the years, he paid the most attention to this matter. After all, the Black Veil Islands were his hard work of many years. Once destroyed, the blow was imaginable.

"Oh?"

"Those Soul Transformation beings in the East China Sea just let him do as he pleases?"

Sect Leader Mu Qingliu frowned.

"It's not that they didn't try."

Mu Mengting hesitated for a moment, "When White Jade Island was born, the heavenly lords of the eight hundred heterodox paths and three thousand unorthodox paths of the East China Sea also had ideas about White Jade Island, but in the end, they all voluntarily gave up."

"Sect Leader, the strength of that Yuanyang is probably not as simple as the Peak of Soul Transformation; it is estimated to be at the half-step Refining Void level."

An elderly man with curly golden lion hair stood up and spoke.

"Half-step Refining Void?"

Sect Leader Mu Qingliu fell into contemplation.

"What do you all think?"

"How should we treat this Yuanyang and the White Jade Pavilion?"

Mu Qingliu asked.

"Sect Leader, against such an expert, unless a Refining Void Ancient Saint makes a move, it is very difficult to do anything to him."

Jun Dongjin said.

A half-step Refining Void Ancient Saint's strength had almost exceeded the Soul Transformation level; without Ancient Saints stepping out, they were fearless wherever they went.

Even with the help of the sect-镇ing Immortal Artifact, Taihao Immortal Mirror, descending an Incarnation of the immortal mirror from hundreds of miles away could not deal with a half-step Ancient Saint.

The immortal mirror's Incarnation was far inferior in strength to the main body, at most possessing power close to an Ancient Saint.

It's just that Lord of Yuanyang Island was a half-step Ancient Saint; only a true Ancient Saint could pose a threat to him.

However, the Moral Immortal Sect only had the Sect Leader as a Refining Void Ancient Saint. Although there were many backhands and foundations, they were biased towards defense and protection.

Unless that Lord of Yuanyang Island actively stepped into the Central Earth Divine Continent, staying in the vast East China Sea meant the Moral Immortal Sect could do nothing to him.

As for letting Sect Leader Mu Qingliu hold the sect-镇ing Immortal Artifact and go to the East China Sea to suppress and kill the other party—the Moral Immortal Sect was not without enemies.

The Blood Demon Sea to the north of the Divine Continent, the Nether Ghost Palace to the south of the Divine Continent, the Demon Saint Nest to the west of the Divine Continent.

As long as Sect Leader Mu Qingliu dared to leave the Immortal Sect with the sect-镇ing Immortal Artifact, the Moral Immortal Mountain would face the risk of a sneak attack.

To place one's own immortal mountain in a dangerous place for a mere half-step Refining Void, even if the probability was very low, it was completely not worth it.

"Let's wait and see for now."

Sect Leader Mu Qingliu said.

In fact, with the foundation of the Moral Immortal Sect, even if Mu Qingliu left with the sect-镇ing Immortal Artifact, the Nether Ghost Palace, Blood Demon Sea, and Demon Saint Nest exerting all their efforts would not be able to break through the Moral Immortal Mountain in a short time, but there was no such necessity.

Resisting the siege of three Refining Void Ancient Saints without an Ancient Saint of the same level presiding over it would require the Moral Immortal Sect to pay a not-insignificant price.

That Lord of Yuanyang Island was merely a half-step Refining Void Ancient Saint, not enough to make the Moral Immortal Sect pay a price to deal with him.

Over hundreds of thousands of years, the Central Earth Divine Continent had not failed to produce such figures; without the Immortal Sect taking action, the other party would have disappeared into history.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, another ten years passed.

East China Sea, White Jade Island.

Inside the core Immortal Cave, Lin Yuan's Yang God sat cross-legged.

By Tier 6, Lin Yuan's Yang God and Yin God had almost condensed into physical entities; unless he made a full-strength move, one couldn't tell at all that this was a Primordial Spirit.

After a short half-day, Lin Yuan finished his cultivation.

He walked out of the Immortal Cave and looked at the entire White Jade Island.

In ten years, the White Jade Pavilion had grown considerably. With such an expert as Lin Yuan presiding over it, many Loose Cultivators in the East China Sea were extremely eager to join the White Jade Pavilion.

Of course, the requirement to enter the White Jade Pavilion was that regardless of what Cultivation Technique one practiced before joining, after joining, it must be discarded and one must switch to cultivating Martial Dao.

This requirement dissuaded quite a few Loose Cultivators, but there were still many Cultivators who willingly switched to cultivating Martial Dao.

As of today, the Martial Dao practitioners of White Jade Capital had already exceeded one hundred thousand.

Among them, there were twelve people at Martial Dao Tier 3, five thousand seven hundred and thirty people at Martial Dao Tier 2, and over ninety thousand people at Martial Dao Tier 1.

White Jade Island was rich in Spiritual Qi, comparable to the blessed lands of caves in the Central Earth Divine Continent. Although Martial Dao did not rely on Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, having it was better than not having it.

"Master."

Just as Lin Yuan walked out of the Immortal Cave, a young girl with delicate features walked over and bowed respectfully toward Lin Yuan.

This young girl, named Li Qing, was a Disciple taken in by Lin Yuan over the past ten years. Her Martial Dao Aptitude was quite good, and she had now stepped into Martial Dao Tier 3.

"How is the spread of the Martial Dao Cultivation Technique?" Lin Yuan asked.

Li Qing not only had good Aptitude, but she was also reliable in handling matters, with mature and sophisticated methods. When Lin Yuan was in seclusion, most matters of the White Jade Pavilion were handed over to her.

"Master, the Martial Dao Initial Chapter Cultivation Technique has already spread across the East China Sea Islands, and some has flowed into the Central Earth Divine Continent. It has also spread to the Blood Demon Sea and Nether Ghost Domain."

Li Qing replied.

"Not bad."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Wanting to spread the Martial Dao Evolution Path relying solely on a single White Jade Island and White Jade Pavilion was naturally far from enough.

Instead, he wanted the Cultivation Techniques of the Martial Dao system to circulate in this world, so that even if White Jade Island and White Jade Pavilion were destroyed and disappeared in the future, the Martial Dao system would still exist.

This was Lin Yuan's purpose.

The World Consciousness of this realm was different from the World Consciousness of the Five Regions world; it would not target a certain cultivation system.

Yunwu Blessed Land.

Cultivation secret room.

Lin Yuan sat quietly there, the aura within his body circulating.

Suddenly, the aura emitted by Lin Yuan suddenly increased by a notch.

"Tier 6 Stage 5."

Lin Yuan opened his eyes, and the aura he emitted quickly converged, just like an ordinary person.

After ten years of cultivation, Lin Yuan had developed the Tier 6 chapter of the Martial Dao Evolution System to the Stage 5 level.

But Lin Yuan also felt that the further along it went, the greater the difficulty of development, because the path Lin Yuan opened up for the Martial Dao Evolution Path was as perfect as possible.

If he were just to create an ordinary Tier 6 evolution path, Lin Yuan wouldn't need to put in such great effort.

"However,"

"the body cultivation side can finally break through to the Refining Void level."

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face. Over the past ten years, apart from developing the Martial Dao Evolution Path, Lin Yuan's research into the body cultivation lineage had never stopped.

Now, Lin Yuan's attainments in the body cultivation lineage had reached the point where there was no further progress to be made; he was only one step away from taking the final step.
