Chapter 252: I Am the Martial Ancestor, What Divine Radiance Is There to Experience

A few days later.

Lin Yuan was still cultivating.

He was dragged out of his room by his mother, Shen Zhen.

"Chang'er, I'm taking you to a good place."

Mother Shen Zhen said with a mysterious tone.

"A good place?"

Lin Yuan felt quite helpless inside.

Soon.

The two of them arrived outside.

His father, Lin Jianping, had been waiting for a long time.

His expression was full of solemnity.

"The place we are going this time is the Martial Temple."

"Chang'er, once you get there, you are definitely not allowed to fool around."

Lin Jianping exhorted.

Although the martial Dao cultivation system was far from having as huge an impact as the immortal Dao cultivation system,

in Xiaoyao City, the Martial Temple was the only heaven, controlling everything and commanding everything.

Even looking across the Profound King Domain, the Martial Temple was one of the most powerful factions under the Moral Immortal Sect, and several Seventh-Stage martial artists were in no way inferior in combat power to ordinary Dao Integration Stage True Immortals.

"The Martial Temple?"

Lin Yuan's heart stirred slightly.

He had long guessed that the Martial Temple should have been established by those Disciples he had once accepted, such as Li Qing and others.

The purpose was to ensure the Legacy of the martial Dao cultivation system.

The center of Xiaoyao City.

That towering Xiaoyao Mountain.

This was the location of the Martial Temple, the most core place in the entire Xiaoyao City.

Those several Seventh-Stage martial artists who established the Martial Temple fought for the Moral Immortal Sect year-round; the strongest person within the Martial Temple was only at the Sixth Stage of martial Dao, but that was enough to overlook the entire Xiaoyao City.

Among hundreds of thousands of cities in the Profound King Domain, Xiaoyao City could rank in the top hundred.

Precisely because of the existence of the Martial Temple.

At this moment.

A spirit boat flew close.

Lin Jianping, Lin Yuan, and the others walked out from it.

"Adults of the Martial Temple, my son wants to go in and experience the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance." Lin Jianping took out a token.

It presented a bronze color with the word 'Wu' written on it.

"Go in."

At the entrance of Xiaoyao Mountain, a few guards glanced at the token and opened the Formation.

Seeing this, Lin Jianping thanked them a few more times before leading Lin Yuan and Shen Zhen inside.

"Another one going through the back door."

The guards sneered after Lin Jianping and the three disappeared.

Ever since the establishment of Xiaoyao City, every once in a while, many people would come over to experience the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance.

Among these people, a very small fraction came because their own martial Dao Aptitude was astonishing, receiving an invitation from the Martial Temple to experience the divine radiance.

However, most of them came to 'freeload' the divine radiance.

The upper echelons of the Martial Temple did not interfere with this; firstly, it could add a sum of income to the Martial Temple, and secondly, it had no impact on themselves.

After activating the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance, the divine radiance enveloped the area for a fixed time, giving priority to those Disciples with heaven-shaking martial Dao Aptitude to experience it.

Only after they finished experiencing it would it be the turn of the others behind.

"Even to go through the back door, you need strength to do so." Another guard sighed.

"Experiencing the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance and indirectly receiving guidance from martial Dao Experts comparable to True Immortals—if it were you, wouldn't you be willing?"

This guard shook his head and said.

"I am naturally willing."

The guard who spoke first was silent for a moment before speaking the truth.

The guidance of Experts was too important.

Especially the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance; it not only had a guiding function, but could also determine which aspect of the martial Dao the experiencer excelled in.

Xiaoyao Mountain.

Lin Yuan looked out at a glance; this was an incomparably huge Mountain Peak, with wisps of aura pervading every inch of the air. Clearly, if outsiders dared to trespass, they would be suppressed in the first instance by power coming from all directions.

"Using martial Dao methods combined with immortal Dao Formations, it is quite interesting."

With just a glance, Lin Yuan saw through the essence of Xiaoyao Mountain more or less.

"Chang'er, don't look around." Lin Jianping glanced at Lin Yuan and hurriedly reminded him.

Inside Xiaoyao Mountain, big figures of the Martial Temple would pass by from time to time. If Lin Yuan's gaze offended any big figure, wouldn't that be an undeserved disaster?

Following the path, the few of them quickly came before a teleportation array.

Xiaoyao Mountain was too vast; wanting to reach the Martial Temple located at the top of the mountain would take at least half a day, so at the foot of the mountain, there were generally teleportation arrays.

Hum.

At the signal of the Martial Temple Disciple,

the three of Lin Yuan walked into the teleportation array, and in an instant, they arrived at the top of the mountain.

"There are quite a few people."

Shen Zhen curiously looked around.

She discovered that many people were gathered in groups of twos and threes, talking in low voices.

Not far away, a huge wall stood tall; that was the place where the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance was activated.

However, it was currently in a closed state, and no one was allowed to enter.

"Those coming to experience the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance are naturally not just us. Xiaoyao City is so big; many factions and families will send their younger generations over when the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance is activated."

Lin Jianping said in a low voice.

The Lin Family was only moderately famous in Xiaoyao City; compared to those true local tyrants, they were far inferior.

Allowing Lin Yuan to experience the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance once required exhausting most of the Lin Family's wealth, but for those local tyrants, every activation would send a batch of clansmen over to experience it.

Lin Yuan listened from the side.

Most of his mind was gathered behind that wall.

"Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance?"

Lin Yuan had a faint guess in his heart. Before leaving the Central Earth Divine Continent World, he had left behind seven statues, engraved with his brief summaries of the martial Dao.

Just as Lin Yuan was pondering,

the great doors in the center of the distant huge wall slowly opened.

An old man wearing black robes walked out.

"The Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance is about to envelop the area. Those whose names are called, go in and experience it."

The black-robed old man's words were concise and he spoke directly.

"Ouyang Song."

The black-robed old man continued to speak.

"It is me."

A youth stood up and strode through the doors.

"Experience it well." A look of appreciation appeared on the face of the black-robed old man as he reminded him.

"Ouyang Song?"

"That is the Genius of Xiaoyao City whose martial Dao Aptitude can be called the number one in the past fifty years?"

"It is said that this Ouyang Song comprehended the power of thunder, which is a power renowned for its killing force." The rest of the crowd discussed in low voices.

Most of them brought their own offspring through the back door, and their martial Dao Aptitude was far from comparable to Ouyang Song's.

The peak of Xiaoyao Mountain.

At another place.

Several figures were sitting cross-legged, gazing at the location enveloped by the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance.

"I hope that this activation of the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance can add a few talents to our Martial Temple."

The leading figure sighed and slowly said.

"The Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance contains three Old Ancestors' understanding of the martial Dao, and even more so, that Martial Ancestor's elucidation. Any cultivator, as long as they Cultivate the martial Dao and experience the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance, will certainly not gain nothing."

The second figure spoke.

"That Martial Ancestor."

Hearing these few words, the expressions of the rest became slightly gloomy.

Regarding the title of the Martial Ancestor, they had learned of it from the mouths of the three Seventh-Stage martial Dao Old Ancestors.

The reason the martial Dao cultivation system could reach its current scale today was precisely thanks to that Martial Ancestor, obtained through negotiations with a certain True Immortal big shot of the Moral Immortal Sect.

However——

from beginning to end, all martial Dao cultivators in the Martial Temple had never seen the Martial Ancestor.

On the plaza below.

Many people who came through the back door to experience the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance began to communicate with each other during the waiting period.

"This Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance was left behind by those three martial Dao Experts of the Martial Temple comparable to True Immortals, but in reality, the divine radiance originates from the Martial Ancestor."

"Indeed, otherwise why would it be called the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance?"

"The Martial Ancestor? I've heard this name, but I've never heard of any specific deeds. I thought it was fabricated. Could such a person really exist?"

"Hhahahaha, I do know a bit about this. Those three Experts of the current Martial Temple comparable to True Immortals ascended from the Lower Realm."

"And that Martial Ancestor is the master of these three Seventh-Stage martial Dao Experts in the Lower Realm."

"The master of three True Immortals? Then what kind of Realm is the Martial Ancestor in now?"

"Not clear. After those three seventh-stage members of the Martial Temple ascended, they once searched for the Martial Ancestor, but in the end, it all came to nothing."

"Perhaps that Martial Ancestor didn't ascend at all, or perhaps he did ascend, but got trapped in some location. The Spirit Realm is boundless, and all kinds of dangerous places are scattered everywhere; that's too normal."

Many people discussed animatedly.

Lin Jianping remained silent.

"The Martial Ancestor is an extraordinary existence." After a long time, Lin Jianping said.

"You don't even know the Martial Ancestor, how do you know the other party is extraordinary?" Shen Zhen gave Lin Jianping a sideways glance.

"This is what you don't understand." Lin Jianping shook his head.

"The Martial Ancestor?" Lin Yuan listened from the side.

"Three Seventh-Stage martial Daoists? Is it Li Qing? And other Disciples?"

Lin Yuan thought in his heart. The White Jade Pavilion he established had accepted hundreds of Disciples, personally teaching them the martial Dao.

However, speaking of those expected to step into the Seventh Stage, the number was not large—just those few.

At another place on the Mountain Peak.

Several upper echelons of the Martial Temple were observing the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance.

The martial Dao Genius Ouyang Song sat cross-legged, experiencing up close the divine radiance emitted by the seven statues in front of him, his expression changing unpredictably.

A moment later.

Among the seven statues, the first statue on the left emitted thirty percent radiance.

The martial Dao Genius Ouyang Song suddenly opened his eyes, panting heavily.

"Mhm, not bad. This statue symbolizes the Dao of slaughter and warfare, and thirty percent radiance can be considered very good. Xiaoyao City hasn't seen such talent in a hundred years."

The leading figure nodded and evaluated.

These seven statues contained different directions of the martial Dao, which could choose a future path for the experiencer.

As for the emitted radiance, it was testing the compatibility between the experiencer and the martial Dao. Thirty percent radiance could be called rare.

"Ouyang Song can be admitted as an Inner Sect Disciple to be nurtured with focus."

Another figure spoke.

"An Inner Sect Disciple? Can do."

"Actually, if he reached forty percent radiance, he could completely be included as a Core Disciple."

"What a pity."

"An Inner Sect Disciple is also considered not bad; in the future, he has hopes of stepping into the Fourth Stage of martial Dao."

Several figures discussed for a while and finally made a decision.

Next.

One martial Dao Genius after another experienced the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance.

In the end, three became Inner Sect Disciples of the Martial Temple, one became a Core Disciple of the Martial Temple, and six became ordinary Disciples of the Martial Temple.

At this point.

The Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance had basically drawn to a close.

As for the remaining ones queuing up to experience the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance? They were basically all going through the back door, and their Aptitude was far from reaching the qualification to join the Martial Temple.

However, the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance was extremely special; even without martial Dao Aptitude, experiencing it slightly would still have a not-low improvement effect on oneself.

Experiencing the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance had no real threshold; even immortal Dao cultivators could experience it.

"It's my turn, it's my turn."

"Hurry up in front, the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance is about to extinguish."

The people who came through the back door to experience the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance suddenly began to urge.

When those martial Dao geniuses experienced the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance, they didn't dare say half a word, because as long as they interrupted with a single sentence, they would be expelled from the Martial Temple.

But now, those going in to comprehend were all backdoor-goers. Under the condition that the enveloping time of the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance was fixed, naturally the faster the front ones went, the better.

On the other side of the Mountain Peak.

Several upper echelons of the Martial Temple patiently watched for a while.

And immediately lost interest.

Those who experienced the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance through the back door basically had a martial Dao compatibility of no higher than ten percent.

"The Old Ancestor once said that all living beings in the world have the qualification to Cultivate the martial Dao." A figure muttered to themselves.

This was also the reason they allowed these people to experience the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance through the back door.

Just because you were not a martial Dao Genius didn't mean you couldn't receive guidance from the Martial Ancestor's Dao.

On the plaza below.

Very soon it was Lin Yuan's turn to enter and experience the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance.

"Son, don't have pressure, just experience it casually." Shen Zhen cheered Lin Yuan on.

"Just experience it casually?"

Lin Jianping's mouth twitched. This was an opportunity he had exchanged with most of his wealth.

Just so that Lin Yuan wouldn't be nervous, Lin Jianping still said, "Your mother is right, don't have any pressure."

"Mhm, I know."

Lin Yuan nodded and walked into the doors.

Hum hum hum.

The seven statues emitted a faint divine radiance.

The old man wearing black robes stood to the side.

"Sit here and close your eyes to experience it," the black-robed old man said calmly, his tone without the slightest fluctuation, clearly not knowing how many times he had said it.

"Sit there?"

Lin Yuan glanced at the seven statues, his brows slightly furrowed.

Because he simply didn't know how to experience it.

Other people coming here would only feel that the divine radiance was filled with countless profound mysteries.

But for Lin Yuan, those Wu Ancestor Divine Radiances were things he had grown tired of playing with hundreds of years ago.

Just like primary school students doing junior high school questions, needing to rack their brains and concentrate on thinking.

However, when a PhD student does junior high school questions, they see the answer at a glance—what thinking is there to speak of?

"How to experience it?"

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and asked one more question.

"Just close your eyes, and the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance will naturally echo with you."

The black-robed old man explained patiently.

"Alright then."

Lin Yuan followed the rules and sat in front of the statues.

Hum.

The ubiquitous Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance quickly enveloped Lin Yuan and gradually began to echo.

However.

The next moment.

The seven statues simultaneously stalled.

Even the originally ubiquitous Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance suddenly froze.

"This?"

The black-robed old man, who was originally thinking about Lin Yuan finishing quickly so the next experiencer could come over, suddenly widened his eyes, looking at the scene before him in disbelief.

Rumble.

Accompanied by the initial stagnation, the seven statues simultaneously emitted radiance, and twelve percent radiance filled each and every statue.

Wisps of Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance continuously lingered around Lin Yuan's body, as if receiving an imperial decree, and all gathered at his feet.

"You, what kind of Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance did you actually experience?"

The black-robed old man trembled in mind, looking at Lin Yuan who resembled a Divine Being, and asked subconsciously.

"What kind of divine radiance?"

Lin Yuan glanced at the black-robed old man.

Without speaking.

I am the Martial Ancestor.

What divine radiance is there to experience?
