Chapter 255 Lin Yuan’s Strength

In an underground world spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, only Lin Yuan sat cross-legged. The terrifying aura emanating from his body caused the space around him to twist slightly.

"The Martial Dao Eighth Order Chapter has already reached the second stage." Lin Yuan reined in his aura and nodded with satisfaction. "Immortal Dao Cultivation Techniques still have a pretty good effect on improving the Eighth Order Chapter."

"It's just that starting from the second stage of the Eighth Order Chapter, the difficulty of pioneering begins to soar, but with Heaven-Defying Comprehension, it is nothing more than grinding effort."

In Lin Yuan's vision, the Martial Dao Eighth Order Chapter had a total of four stages, similar to the Eighth Order Chapter of most Evolution Paths in the Main World.

However, regarding the specific Cultivation content, Lin Yuan had achieved the absolute limit of what he could currently do. If he were just creating an ordinary Eighth Order Evolution Path, it simply wouldn't require spending so much effort.

However, the Martial Dao Eighth Order Chapter was a critical stage in Lin Yuan's cultivation, so naturally, it was impossible to perfunctorily slack off.

"My current Realm has also smoothly stepped into the second stage of the Eighth Order."

If it weren't for contacting the Spirit Realm's Immortal Dao Cultivation system and other Cultivation systems, which allowed Lin Yuan to reshape the Martial Dao Evolution Path multiple times, he would probably have entered this level decades earlier.

"However, when I returned to the Eighth Order, I did not re-experience the Heart Demon Tribulation, nor did I experience the Physical Body Tribulation that Tribulation Transcending Immortal Kings need to go through during this tribulation."

Lin Yuan rubbed his chin, falling into deep thought.

As for why the Physical Body Tribulation did not descend, Lin Yuan had deduced the reason: this kind of tribulation was targeted at Immortal Dao Cultivation practitioners.

Although Lin Yuan drew upon the essence of many Immortal Dao Cultivation systems, his Foundation remained the Martial Dao Evolution Path, so he did not need to face the Physical Body Tribulation that Immortal Dao Cultivation practitioners would experience.

As for the Heart Demon Tribulation, Lin Yuan felt that his mental will had long undergone transformation, and similarly, he did not need to experience it again.

"With a residency time of over nine hundred years, and only a hundred years having passed now, I still have plenty of time to improve the remaining three stages of the Eighth Order Chapter."

Lin Yuan was quite confident about this.

"Once the Eighth Order Chapter is completed, the Martial Dao Evolution Path will become an Eighth Order Evolution Path, and it is estimated that it can rank high among all Eighth Order Evolution Paths in human history."

Lin Yuan stood up, walked out of the underground world, and came to the surface.

This underground world was accidentally discovered by Lin Yuan more than ninety years ago, and it was estimated to be the ruins of some ancient sect.

Later, it was remodeled by Lin Yuan into a place for his usual Cultivation.

"Space."

Lin Yuan stepped in, following the spatial fluctuations, and arrived outside Xiaoyao City almost in an instant.

The underground world where Lin Yuan practiced was at least tens of millions of miles away from Xiaoyao City, but relying on his mastery of Space Rules, it was just a matter of a single step.

Over the past century, in addition to recovering his strength and improving the Martial Dao Eighth Order Chapter, Lin Yuan had never given up on his comprehension of Space Rules.

Currently, the core space models comprehended by Lin Yuan exceeded four thousand types, and his Internal World had accordingly expanded to a size of four million miles in radius.

The four-million-mile radius size here was purely the size of the Internal World, entirely supported by Space Rules.

It had not been amplified by that Mysterious Gourd from the Main World.

If it were based on the fivefold baseline amplification before shuttling, Lin Yuan's current Internal World size should be twenty million miles in radius.

An Internal World with a radius of twenty million miles far exceeded the upper limit of the ten-million-mile Internal World shackles for a Human Evolver.

The World Power born from such a massive Internal World could probably go toe-to-toe with Eighth Order Invincibles for a few moves.

"When I have time, I can bring that Mysterious Gourd over." Lin Yuan walked into Xiaoyao City, thinking silently in his heart.

A hundred years ago, Lin Yuan's strength was not yet sufficient, so he didn't bring that Mysterious Gourd over, worrying that some accident might occur.

Only now? Even facing the Tribulation Transcending Immortal Kings overlooking the Spirit Realm, Lin Yuan looked up and down without any fear.

"This time's re-cultivated Physical Body Divine Ability."

Lin Yuan's thoughts churned. The Martial Dao Sixth Order Chapter would condense Physical Body Divine Abilities originating from the Bloodline.

Different physical bodies and different Bloodlines would naturally condense different Physical Body Divine Abilities.

In the Central Earth Divine Continent World, the Physical Body Divine Ability condensed by Lin Yuan was 'Rebirth from a Drop of Blood'.

On the Main World true form, the Physical Body Divine Ability condensed by Lin Yuan was 'Mountain Moving'.

And now, on the Physical Body of the Spirit Realm during the eighth shuttle, the Physical Body Divine Ability condensed by Lin Yuan was 'Reinforcement'.

Once the 'Reinforcement' Divine Ability was activated, everything including Lin Yuan's Physical Body, Qi, Soul, mental will, etc., would skyrocket tenfold.

Even the World Power of the Internal World would receive a tenfold amplification.

Although the duration of the 'Reinforcement' Divine Ability was short, only ten breaths, and after the Divine Ability ended, Lin Yuan's strength would probably briefly weaken by twenty to thirty percent.

But without a doubt, this Divine Ability definitely belonged to the trump card category.

In fights between Experts, a split second could decide victory or defeat, let alone ten breaths?

And with the Physical Body, Qi, Soul, mental will, and others simultaneously amplified tenfold, the impact on strength was definitely far more than simply tenfold.

Possessing this kind of Divine Ability, even ordinary Eighth Order Peak Evolvers could challenge Eighth Order Invincibles.

Of course, it was only challenging Eighth Order Invincibles within the duration of the Divine Ability, but that was already incredible, worthy of being called a flat replacement for Cosmic Power.

The most crucial thing was that the 'Reinforcement' Divine Ability would become even more useful as strength grew. An Eighth Order Peak activating this Divine Ability could rival Eighth Order Invincibles within ten breaths.

What about Ninth Order Evolvers?

"In the following time, besides improving the Martial Dao Evolution Path, the primary task is to thoroughly comprehend this Divine Ability and condense the Divine Ability Mark."

Lin Yuan had a plan in mind.

Only by condensing the Divine Ability Mark could this Divine Ability be brought back to the Main World. Lin Yuan remembered that back then, it took him a full fifty years to thoroughly comprehend the 'Rebirth from a Drop of Blood' Divine Ability Mark.

As for the 'Mountain Moving' Divine Ability, the time elapsed in the Main World was too short, and Lin Yuan still hadn't comprehended the Divine Ability Mark of 'Mountain Moving' to this day.

Returning to the Martial Temple.

Not long after.

Several Grand Elders walked over.

"Elder."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

Over the past century, the Grand Elders of the Martial Temple had indeed treated Lin Yuan very well, almost grooming him as the future of the Martial Temple.

Without the early support of the Martial Temple, Lin Yuan definitely would have reached this step today as well, but it would have surely required spending much more time.

Immortal Dao Cultivation practitioners needed resources.

Martial Dao Cultivation practitioners similarly needed resources.

Especially at the Sixth and Seventh Orders, pioneering the Internal World consumed resources like mountains and seas.

"Chang'er, these are the Immortal Dao Cultivation Techniques you wanted." The Great Elder of the Martial Temple took out several Jade Slips, his gaze toward Lin Yuan uncontrollably revealing a trace of inner trembling.

As early as seventy or eighty years ago, these several Grand Elders could already no longer see through Lin Yuan.

Countless Martial Dao classics collected by the entire Martial Temple had already been completely browsed by Lin Yuan. Although they hadn't directly clashed in terms of strength,

Every time they came into close contact with Lin Yuan, several of them felt an inexplicable palpitations.

This feeling disappeared sixty years ago, but they didn't mean to underestimate him in the slightest.

They only felt that perhaps Lin Yuan had reached the level of returning to simplicity and truth? The several Martial Dao Seventh Order Old Ancestors were like this.

Unless they deliberately revealed their aura, from the outside appearance, they were no different from ordinary people.

"The Supreme Yuqing Immortal Scripture, is this the bottom-of-the-box Cultivation Technique of the Supreme Immortal Gate?" Lin Yuan became interested.

In recent decades, Lin Yuan had asked the several Grand Elders to collect as many Immortal Dao Cultivation Techniques as possible.

Although the Grand Elders did not know what intention a Martial Dao Cultivation practitioner like Lin Yuan had in collecting Immortal Dao Cultivation Techniques,

Lin Yuan's currently displayed Aptitude and talent were too terrifying; they didn't have any thoughts of questioning.

Lin Yuan quickly browsed through the 'Supreme Yuqing Immortal Scripture' and finally nodded slightly, saying, "Although it cuts off after the Soul Transformation Stage, as a Supreme Immortal King who shakes Three Thousand Dao Provinces, the Immortal Scripture created by the Supreme Immortal King indeed has its merits."

Lin Yuan's tone was slightly filled with praise.

Even among Tribulation Transcending Immortal Kings, there were distinctions of high and low. Among them, Supreme Immortal Kings were top-tier Experts in the Tribulation Transcending Stage. Lin Yuan guessed that Supreme Immortal Kings might correspond to the Eighth Order Invincibles of the Main World.

"The Supreme Immortal Gate once intentionally disseminated the Supreme Yuqing Immortal Scripture and allowed other Immortal Cultivators to practice this Immortal Scripture, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get it either."

The Great Elder of the Martial Temple nodded and said.

The intention of the Supreme Immortal Gate in doing this was also very easy to guess: it was nothing more than scouring the Three Thousand Dao Provinces for Immortal Dao Geniuses suitable for practicing the Supreme Yuqing Immortal Scripture.

The Immortal Scriptures disseminated outside by the Supreme Immortal Gate only ranged from the Qi Refinement Chapter to the Soul Transformation Chapter.

Even if there were really casual Immortal Dao Cultivation practitioners who luckily entered the sect, as long as they wanted to go deeper, the only way was to head to the Supreme Immortal Gate.

"Chang'er."

The Great Elder of the Martial Temple hesitated for a moment, but finally asked,

"What Realm are you currently at, exactly? Martial Dao Seventh Order?"

The Great Elder of the Martial Temple asked cautiously.

Cultivating to the Martial Dao Seventh Order in a mere hundred years—put in the past, the Great Elder of the Martial Temple would never have believed it no matter what.

However, Lin Yuan's performance over the past hundred years made the Grand Elders generate thoughts in this direction.

The several Grand Elders themselves were already at the Martial Dao Sixth Order. Being able to cause them a sense of oppression meant it was most likely the Martial Dao Seventh Order.

"My current Realm?"

Lin Yuan smiled slightly.

Hearing this, the other Grand Elders also subconsciously pricked up their ears to listen.

They were also curious about what kind of strength Lin Yuan currently possessed.

"No."

Lin Yuan shook his head.

As early as sixty years ago, he was no longer at the Martial Dao Seventh Order.

"Not the Martial Dao Seventh Order?" The Great Elder of the Martial Temple breathed a slight sigh of relief, complex and unspeakable emotions welling up in his heart.

He both hoped Lin Yuan was at the Martial Dao Seventh Order, because that way, the Martial Dao Evolution Path would give birth to another Seventh Order Old Ancestor, and the Martial Temple's influence would further expand.

But rationally, the Great Elder of the Martial Temple did not believe that Lin Yuan could step into the Seventh Order in a mere hundred years; that was simply too unimaginable.

Now having obtained Lin Yuan's confirmation, the several Grand Elders no longer had any doubts in their hearts.

From beginning to end,

whether it was the Great Elder of the Martial Temple,

or the other Grand Elders, none of them had ever thought that Lin Yuan would be at the Martial Dao Eighth Order.

Because that was simply a fantasy. Since the birth of the Martial Dao Evolution Path, the strongest had been the Seventh Order, stopping at the Immortal Dao True Immortal level.

Martial Dao Eighth Order? Even the legendary Martial Ancestor had never touched upon it, let alone a little fellow like Lin Yuan who had only cultivated for a hundred years.

"If it's not the Seventh Order, then it's the Sixth Order."

"Stepping into the Sixth Order in a hundred years—since the establishment of our Martial Temple, this kind of Cultivation speed can be called number one." The Great Elder of the Martial Temple thought silently in his heart.

Over hundreds of thousands of years, countless Martial Dao Geniuses streaked across the sky, but there had never been a Martial Dao Cultivator who stepped into the Sixth Order within a hundred years.

The Martial Dao Sixth Order corresponded to the Immortal Dao Refining Void Ancient Saint. A hundred-year Refining Void Ancient Saint was something only those Immortal Dao Prodigies and Immortal King seeds had hopes of achieving.

After the several Grand Elders left,

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged in the Immortal Cave.

"My current strength." Lin Yuan began to review himself. Relying on numerous methods, even without the Internal World amplification exceeding ten million miles in radius, Lin Yuan's combat power was close to Eighth Order Invincibles.

If he used the 'Reinforcement' Divine Ability, within ten breaths, Lin Yuan's combat power would probably exceed Eighth Order Invincibles by quite a bit.

"It's just that I don't know what the Creation Power mastered by Immortal King-level Experts is all about?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.

After these years of understanding, Lin Yuan roughly determined that Tribulation Transcending Immortal Kings probably didn't have the concept of an Internal World.

What they relied on was the Creation Power they mastered. Ordinary immortals mastered a portion of the might of Creation Power, while Supreme Immortal Kings mastered complete Creation Power.

"Pity that East Cloud Dao Province has no Immortal King-level Experts."

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. Even looking at the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, Immortal King-level Experts were extremely rare. At least East Cloud Dao Province did not have such Experts holding down the fort.

Otherwise, Lin Yuan would probably have found one or two Immortal Kings to test his hands.

As for outside East Cloud Dao Province, the distance was too far. Even though Lin Yuan's mastery of Space Rules could achieve stepping millions or tens of millions of miles in a single step, wanting to reach the next Dao Province still required a significant amount of time.

With this traveling effort, Lin Yuan might as well stay in seclusion for a while longer.

As for Tribulation Transcending Immortal Kings, even if he went to another Dao Province, whether he could find a Tribulation Transcending Immortal King was another matter.

"I can bring that gourd over."

Lin Yuan thought to himself. Now his strength was sufficient; at least within the scope of East Cloud Dao Province, he belonged to the invincible level. Even if there were hidden Tribulation Transcending Immortal Kings, they probably couldn't beat Lin Yuan.

So currently he completely had the strength to protect that Mysterious Gourd.

Hum.

Thinking of this,

Lin Yuan's mind began to sink deep into his brain.

Looking at that towering and magnificent Gate of Myriad Realms.

"Crossing dimensions, crossing latitudes—it's unimaginable."

Even though he had looked at the Gate of Myriad Realms more than once, Lin Yuan still felt a sense of emotion rising in his heart at this moment.

When he first became an Evolver, when Lin Yuan looked at the Gate of Myriad Realms, he only felt that it was magnificent and vast, but now, he found that this light gate seemed like a behemoth straddling across infinite worlds.

"Over the past century, the Main World has been completely normal, with nothing happening."

Through the Gate of Myriad Realms, Lin Yuan vaguely sensed the environment on the side of the Main World true form.

"Let's begin."

With a slight movement of Lin Yuan's mind, consuming a wisp of Boundary-Breaking Source Power, he began to teleport that Mysterious Gourd from the Main World to this place.

Swish swish.

In the center of the Gate of Myriad Realms, spatial fluctuations faintly emerged.

This spatial fluctuation was deep and distant, as if exuding endless mystery.

Lin Yuan felt it carefully. This method of teleporting items across dimensional latitudes far exceeded his current cognition. Feeling it for a little longer, relying on Heaven-Defying Comprehension, he might just be able to comprehend something.

After a moment,

the spatial fluctuations gradually subsided.

A grayish-yellow gourd slowly emerged,

landing in Lin Yuan's palm.
