Chapter 253: He was born for the Martial Dao

On the other side of the mountain peak.

The figures that were originally lacking in interest were all chatting amongst themselves.

Their attention was basically not on those sensing the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance.

There was no help for it; following the initial batch of invited martial geniuses, the numerous sensors who had come through the back door performed really poorly.

Their affinity for the Martial Dao basically did not exceed ten percent.

If not for the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance being of utmost importance, which had to be activated right under their noses,

the few of them would have likely turned and left long ago.

"It is almost over."

The leading figure was the Great Elder of the Martial Temple, whose status was second only to the three Martial Dao Seventh Realm Experts fighting outside.

He casually glanced down at the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance location.

The next moment.

The pupils of the Great Elder of the Martial Temple violently constricted.

Within his line of sight, wisps of Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance boiled, and one divine statue after another began to bloom with twelve-tenths radiance.

For a time, inside the walls, within the place where the seven divine statues were placed, the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance was almost overflowing.

"This is?"

The Great Elder of the Martial Temple was shocked in his heart; there was only one possibility for something that could actively attract the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance.

That was that the sensor's Martial Dao Aptitude was too powerful, causing the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance to fully recover.

This matter had happened several times over the past hundred thousand-odd years, but the attracted Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance was far from being on the scale of today.

"The divine statues blooming with twelve-tenths radiance, and all seven divine statues blooming together? Am I dreaming?" Another Great Elder of the Martial Temple muttered to himself.

The seven divine statues represented seven different directions of the Martial Dao.

For example, excelling in killing power, excelling in defense, excelling in Domain, and so on.

Since the establishment of the Martial Temple, testers who caused several divine statues to fully bloom with radiance had indeed been seen, but that was at most three or four, and the radiance bloomed by each divine statue did not exceed seventy percent.

Like now?

Twelve-tenths radiance?

And all seven divine statues were like this?

"Genius."

"The Genius with the strongest Aptitude since the establishment of my Martial Temple."

Several Great Elders of the Martial Temple quickly reacted. As Martial Dao Sixth Realm Experts, they shouldn't have lost their composure like this.

It was simply because the scene happening before them was too unbelievable.

In front of the seven divine statues.

Lin Yuan quietly felt the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance emanating a sense of submission.

The so-called Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance was merely borrowing the traces and Dao rhymes left by Lin Yuan on the seven divine statues, and then stimulating them with external power.

It could sense the Physique and Aptitude most suitable to Cultivate the Martial Dao.

During these few days since his consciousness descended, while recovering his strength, Lin Yuan was also slowly transforming this Physical Body.

As the former Martial Dao Ancestor, the direction towards which Lin Yuan transformed his Physical Body was definitely the direction most suitable for the Martial Dao.

The performance of the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance was nothing more than sensing the aura of the Ultimate Physique of the Martial Dao Cultivation Technique system.

This kind of Physique was basically impossible to be born naturally; it would only appear through the Acquired guidance of Lin Yuan, the Martial Dao Ancestor.

Of course, outsiders did not know about such matters, and even the three Martial Dao Seventh Realm Old Ancestors were unaware.

Beside them.

The old man dressed in black robes was still plunged into unbelievable shock.

He had activated the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance so many times, but had never felt this scene within the divine radiance.

Moreover, the seven divine statues simultaneously bursting forth with twelve-tenths radiance also left this black-robed old man somewhat dazed.

A tester who could make a single divine statue bloom with twelve-tenths radiance could be called a once-in-ten-thousand-years or tens-of-thousands-of-years rarity, yet you made all seven divine statues bloom with twelve-tenths radiance?

Just when the black-robed old man didn't know what to do next,

several figures quietly appeared beside him, all staring at Lin Yuan with burning gazes.

An unprecedented Martial Dao Genius.

Heaven blesses my Martial Temple.

Heaven blesses my Martial Dao.

These figures were precisely the Grand Elders of the Martial Temple.

"Grand Elder."

The black-robed old man was startled in his heart.

Following that, he reacted.

Even he could perceive the abnormal change in the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance, let alone several Grand Elders?

"Step down."

The Great Elder of the Martial Temple glanced at the black-robed old man.

"Yes."

The black-robed old man immediately bowed and quickly retreated.

"Little friend."

The Great Elder of the Martial Temple squeezed out a gentle smile, greeted Lin Yuan, and then solemnly said, "I wonder if Little Friend is willing to join my Martial Temple?"

After these words were spoken,

including the Great Elder of the Martial Temple,

a trace of nervousness appeared on all of their faces.

With the influence of the Martial Temple, it could naturally force Lin Yuan to join.

As the 'Heaven' of Xiaoyao City, who dared to refuse the will of the Martial Temple.

But that was done to outsiders. With the terrifying Aptitude currently displayed by Lin Yuan, there was a high probability that he would be able to take charge of the Martial Temple in the future.

Under such circumstances, who dared to force him? Weren't they afraid of future reckoning?

For a peerless Martial Dao Genius with hopes of revitalizing the Martial Temple, using coercive methods was the most stupid way.

"Join the Martial Temple?"

Lin Yuan looked towards the several Grand Elders of the Martial Temple.

In fact, with Lin Yuan's mastery over his own power, he could completely isolate the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance from sensing himself.

But Lin Yuan did not.

His purpose was precisely to attract the attention of the Martial Temple, thereby joining the Martial Temple and utilizing its massive Cultivation resources to quickly recover his strength.

The Martial Temple inherently existed for the inheritance of the Martial Dao Cultivation Technique system, and was Lin Yuan's natural subordinate force.

It even fit with a part of Lin Yuan's future plans. During this traversal, Lin Yuan also listed spreading the Martial Dao Evolution Path as one of his plans.

And with the Martial Temple, Lin Yuan was equivalent to bypassing many detours, without needing to build a force from scratch and then spread the Martial Dao.

"I am willing."

Lin Yuan nodded and said.

"Willing?"

The Great Elder of the Martial Temple and the several Grand Elders beside him looked at each other, and their hearts breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Outside the wall.

Everyone was anxiously waiting.

The duration of the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance was limited; the more was wasted in the front, the less those behind them would get to feel.

Now more than half an hour had passed since the previous sensor entered. If they dragged it out any longer, the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance would likely stop.

"Chang'er wouldn't have caused any trouble, right?"

Lin Jianping's heart skipped a beat, and he could only hope in his heart.

Outside, relying on the Lin Family's methods, as long as the trouble Lin Yuan caused wasn't big, it could basically be smoothed over.

But this was the Martial Temple; casually grabbing someone would have a better background and higher status than the Lin Family.

If Lin Yuan caused trouble here, Lin Jianping's scalp tinged just thinking about it.

"It won't, it won't."

Shen Zhen softly comforted by the side.

Her heart similarly welled up with this kind of worry.

The time Lin Yuan spent comprehending the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance was simply too long.

It was hard for people not to think in this direction.

Not long after,

the old man dressed in black robes walked out

and said to everyone, "Everyone, the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance has ended. Everyone, go back."

"Ended?"

"So fast?"

"It wasn't this fast in previous years?"

Although the waiting crowd had ten thousand kinds of reluctance in their hearts,

they did not dare to question it.

What a joke.

Question the Martial Temple?

Did they still want to live or not?

"It ended?"

Hearing this, Lin Jianping looked dumbfounded, "Where is my son?"

From beginning to end, he hadn't seen Lin Yuan come out.

Lin Yuan hadn't come out yet,

and it ended?

Lin Jianping wanted to ask but didn't dare to.

He could only stand in place and continue waiting.

Soon,

the others left one after another.

"It's over. Chang'er has probably really met with an accident."

Lin Jianping's heart turned cold, and Shen Zhen's expression did not look good either.

If nothing had happened, their son should have come out long ago.

Just when the two decided to muster up the courage to ask what had happened,

the old man in black robes hurried over to the front of Lin Jianping and Shen Zhen, and said with a slightly respectful posture, "The two of you must be Lin Yuan's parents, please come in."

The black-robed old man's tone was gentle, without the slightest bit of aloofness he had towards those people just now.

He was very clear that, judging by Lin Yuan's performance when sensing the Wu Ancestor Divine Radiance just now, his future status in the Martial Temple could not be described as anything less than boundless.

Therefore, at this moment, his attitude towards his parents must not have any transgression, otherwise it would be burying the seeds of disaster for himself.

"We are—"

Lin Jianping hurriedly said.

This black-robed old man was a deacon of the Martial Temple. The Elders and Clan Chiefs of those big families in Xiaoyao City were as restrained when meeting him as a grandson seeing his grandfather.

Yet right now, such a big figure was actually speaking to them in such a gentle tone.

This made Lin Jianping feel as if he were dreaming.

After exchanging pleasantries for a short while,

the black-robed old man directly said, "Lin Yuan is a Martial Dao Genius; you do not need to worry."

The black-robed old man was not in a position to reveal too much, and only stated some insignificant information to stabilize the couple's mindset.

"My son is a Martial Dao Genius?"

Lin Jianping blinked his eyes, failing to react for a long time.

Shen Zhen by the side was the same; didn't they know what kind of person their own son was?

Deep within the Martial Temple.

Several Grand Elders gathered here once again.

After personally leading Lin Yuan to the highest-grade Immortal Cave for Cultivation in the Martial Temple,

several of them came here.

"Lin Yuan, father Lin Jianping."

Information regarding Lin Yuan completely appeared before the several Grand Elders.

Although Lin Yuan's Martial Dao Aptitude and talent left them unable to calm down for a long time, the most basic background check still needed to be done.

Even if this background information investigation, in the eyes of the several Grand Elders, was meaningless,

no matter what hidden dangers Lin Yuan's identity had, they decided at all costs to keep this unprecedented Martial Dao Genius in the Martial Temple.

"At present, it looks like his background is clean, born and raised in Xiaoyao City."

The Second Grand Elder looked very satisfied. Admittedly, they had already prepared for the worst-case scenario, such as Lin Yuan's identity having problems or having some enemies, etc.

Regardless of what, the Martial Temple would protect him.

But without these troublesome hidden dangers, it was naturally better.

"What should we do next?"

The Third Grand Elder asked.

As a place for Martial Dao Legacy, the Martial Temple already had a complete set of procedures for how to nurture Disciples.

When to do what, which Cultivation Technique to go Cultivate, and so on,

all had detailed guidance.

But given the Aptitude displayed by Lin Yuan, following those past sets of Disciple cultivation process methods, the several Grand Elders felt it would just be a waste.

"How about this."

"How about a few of us old fellows personally teach him?"

The Great Elder of the Martial Temple suddenly spoke and said.

"Personally teach?"

"No problem."

"I also want to see what is so different about a Martial Dao Genius who can make seven divine statues simultaneously bloom with twelve-tenths radiance."

The several Grand Elders readily agreed.

At a high-grade Immortal Cave.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged here.

"The Cultivation environment here is very suitable for Martial Dao cultivators."

Lin Yuan felt it carefully for a while, and a smile appeared on his face.

Xiaoyao City was not built on a Spiritual Vein, so the Spiritual Qi was not very abundant, but it possessed a power of blood and qi that was extremely nourishing for Martial Dao cultivators.

Especially in this Immortal Cave, if Lin Yuan opened up to absorb it, not to mention recovering to the eighth realm, at least reaching the seventh realm would be as easy as turning over his hand, absolutely taking no more than fifty years.

"Choosing to have my consciousness directly descend into the Spirit Realm this time seems to be correct."

"The Cultivation environment of this world far exceeds the Lower Realm Central Earth Divine Continent."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

In fact, Lin Yuan's consciousness could also first descend into the Lower Realm Central Earth Divine Continent, and then take over the Physical Body of 'Jun Wuji', directly obtaining seventh-realm strength.

And then Ascend to the Upper Realm.

But the drawbacks of doing so were also very large: that was, the seventh-realm Domain where the Physical Body of Jun Wuji stood was an erroneous seventh-realm Domain.

It was far inferior to the perfect seventh realm perfected by Lin Yuan in the Main World.

Secondly, ascending to the Spirit Realm from the Ascension Platform ultimately required bearing risks. As for tearing through space and directly 'smuggling' into the Spirit Realm from the Void Realm, it likewise required bearing risks.

Thinking about it over and over, having consciousness directly descend into the Spirit Realm was still the best. Although the starting point was a bit lower, with the assistance of the Martial Temple now, it wouldn't take long to recover to the eighth-realm strength.

On the second day.

The Great Elder of the Martial Temple actively came to see Lin Yuan.

"How do you feel?"

The Great Elder of the Martial Temple asked gently.

Other Disciples joining the Martial Temple, even Core Disciples, needed to live in the Martial Academy and undergo layers of trials.

But Lin Yuan naturally didn't need to do those; even his masters were personally served by the several Grand Elders.

Now, the Great Elder of the Martial Temple coming over was intended to personally teach Lin Yuan, allowing him to have a complete impression of the Martial Dao Cultivation Technique system.

"Not bad."

Lin Yuan nodded.

The environment here was indeed not bad.

"Those ancient texts, have you read them all?"

The Great Elder of the Martial Temple swept his gaze and glanced at the bookshelf not far away, on which were placed one Jade Slip after another, recording a large amount of information related to the Martial Dao.

One only needed to aim the Jade Slip at the forehead to browse and read.

"Mm."

Lin Yuan said.

The information inside those Jade Slips helped Lin Yuan roughly familiarize himself with the current Martial Dao.

"Then tell me, what insights do you have?"

The Great Elder of the Martial Temple intended to test Lin Yuan and asked.

"The exposition on the Martial Dao is somewhat one-sided."

Lin Yuan said.

"Oh? One-sided?"

The Great Elder of the Martial Temple became interested.

"The Martial Dao should be that all things are born by it, and all things are completed by it; this is the Martial Dao." Lin Yuan said calmly.

"All things are born by it, all things are completed by it?"

A brilliant light welled up in the eyes of the Great Elder of the Martial Temple.

Among the various Daos of the Spirit Realm, apart from the aloof Immortal Dao, who dared to comment on their own Dao like this?

"What is meant by 'all things are born by it'?"

The Great Elder of the Martial Temple continued to ask.

"Time and space, Yin and Yang, Five Elements—"

Lin Yuan's speaking speed had no fluctuations, and he said leisurely.

More than an hour later,

the Great Elder of the Martial Temple walked out of the Immortal Cave somewhat absent-mindedly.

"How is it, how is it?"

"How was the teaching?"

"What is his understanding of the Martial Dao?"

The several Grand Elders were quite curious.

"What is his understanding of the Martial Dao?"

The Great Elder of the Martial Temple looked around, glanced at the several Grand Elders, and finally said in a somewhat inexplicable tone:

"He was born for the Martial Dao."
