Chapter 256: This is the peerless talent you spoke of?

"Gourd."

Lin Yuan looked at the grayish-yellow gourd on his palm.

The moment it touched Lin Yuan's palm, the grayish-yellow colors of the gourd instantly faded, turning it into a seemingly ordinary gray gourd.

"It can actually sense whether I have absorbed the liquid inside?"

Lin Yuan was slightly surprised.

According to his experience using the gourd, the color of its surface depended on the user's degree of absorption of the liquid inside.

For example, when he was in the Main World, Lin Yuan absorbed the orange-yellow liquid, so the color of the gourd's surface also changed from gray to grayish-yellow.

"Let's begin."

Lin Yuan's expression was solemn.

The liquid inside the gray gourd provided far too great an enhancement to his combat power.

Especially for the enhancement of the Internal World. Lin Yuan's current Internal World had reached four million miles in radius, as long as Lin Yuan recovered to the enhancement level he had in the Main World.

The Internal World would skyrocket to twenty million miles in radius.

This was merely the enhancement from the orange-yellow liquid; there were still five other differently colored liquid enhancements afterward.

Lin Yuan hardly dared to imagine to what extent the Internal World would grow once he completely absorbed the seven colored liquids.

"First, drop blood to confirm eligibility."

Lin Yuan reined in his thoughts and offered a drop of fresh blood, which landed on the surface of the gourd.

Only living beings whose Bloodlines contained the 'Power of Rebirth' could activate the gourd.

And for Lin Yuan, the so-called 'Power of Rebirth' was the aura of the Divine Ability 'Rebirth from a Drop of Blood'.

Lin Yuan had long since thoroughly comprehended the Divine Ability mark of this Divine Ability, and over the past century, he had likewise replicated it onto this Physical Body.

Swish, swish.

The Bloodline verification passed.

Lin Yuan immediately noticed the gourd begin to change.

"Crimson liquid."

Turning the spout of the gourd downward, he soon saw crimson liquid condensing.

Lin Yuan began absorbing it without the slightest hesitation.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, several years passed.

Compared to the previous century, a few years flashed by in an instant.

Martial Temple Immortal Cave.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his Internal World vast and mighty, having already reached twenty-six million miles in radius.

You must know, the upper limit shackles for a Human Evolver of Human Civilization was only ten million miles in radius; this was a racial restriction, with almost no possibility of Breakthrough.

Yet Lin Yuan's current Internal World easily reached twenty-six million miles in radius. If word of this reached the Human Civilization Alliance in the Main World, it would likely provoke a Supreme Powerhouse into action.

Such a method to raise a higher racial upper limit, even for a Supreme Powerhouse, would require paying a disastrous price, yet the liquid inside the gourd could achieve it so easily?

Internal World.

Lin Yuan's figure condensed.

"Such a massive World Power……"

For a moment, Lin Yuan was somewhat intoxicated. In the Main World, Lin Yuan's Internal World had barely reached ten million miles in radius, still within the upper limit shackles of the Human Evolver's Internal World.

But now, the twenty-six million-mile-radius Internal World contained surging World Power that even made Lin Yuan's heart tremble slightly.

Ten million miles in radius and twenty million miles in radius differed by far more than a simple twofold amount.

"Eighth Order Invincibles. With my current strength, even without using the 'Reinforcement' Divine Ability, I should have reached the level of Eighth Order Invincibles," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Theoretically speaking, only an Internal World tens of millions of miles in radius would have the possibility of rivaling Eighth Order Invincibles.

But that was only under the condition of an Internal World tens of millions of miles in radius, where relying solely on the Ultimate magnitude of World Power was enough to contend with the Cosmic Power comprehended by Eighth Order Invincibles.

Although Lin Yuan's current Internal World was only over twenty million miles in radius, he possessed many other methods.

His comprehensive combat power was already no weaker than a normal Eighth Order Invincible.

"It's just that……"

Lin Yuan raised his head slightly and looked toward the firmament above.

He saw a sphere of light composed entirely of Taiyin Power and Taiyang power suspended right there.

Ever since Lin Yuan re-stepped into the seventh order, opened up the Internal World, and the complete Tai Yin Rule and Sun Rule manifested within the Internal World and began to fuse.

This was the scene before him now.

It had transformed into a sphere of light composed entirely of Tai Yin and Sun hanging there.

Lin Yuan could sense that within the light sphere, after the Fusion of the Tai Yin Rule and Sun Rule, they were beginning to undergo a transformation and leap.

Therefore, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

"The transformation should be finishing soon."

Lin Yuan carefully sensed it. Every trace of transformation in the Tai Yin Rule and Sun Rule within the light sphere was completed naturally. While Lin Yuan could certainly step in and interfere, he also knew that it was best to wait and see what happened at this moment.

"Could it be that a brand-new rule—the Taiji Rule—is truly about to be born?"

Lin Yuan speculated in his heart.

The Dao of Taiji was a Dao created by Lin Yuan. Unlike metal, wood, water, fire, earth, light, and lightning, which had power rules within the Universe and world long ago.

The Dao of Taiji and the Taiji Rule had never appeared before Lin Yuan created them, whether in the Main World or in other shuttle worlds.

Xiaoyao City.

A luxurious manor.

Lin Yuan's figure appeared here.

"Chang'er, you're here?" Shen Zhen was watering flowers in the manor. Seeing Lin Yuan, she immediately shouted in pleasant surprise.

Lin Jianping was cultivating. Hearing Shen Zhen's joyful cries, he immediately came out of seclusion, pushed open the door, and likewise saw Lin Yuan.

"Chang'er, you haven't come over in a long time," Lin Jianping said with a smile. "What's wrong? Are there many matters in the Martial Temple?"

"It's alright," Lin Yuan shook his head.

The affairs of the Martial Temple were not managed by him; not even the few Grand Elders would interfere in those trivial matters of the Martial Temple.

But during cultivation, occasionally going into seclusion for several years was completely normal.

Lin Yuan generally came to visit his parents every time he finished a seclusion.

"Chang'er, you work too hard. Whether cultivating or doing other things, you must pay attention to rest; who knows, it might have even better effects."

Shen Zhen hurriedly said.

Lin Jianping also said with a chuckle, "That's right, son. Look at us; we've been enjoying life for a long time. All those matters in the chamber of commerce have been handed over to our subordinates. With you, our son, backing us up, who would dare not work earnestly?"

Over these years, Lin Jianping had been living exceptionally comfortably. His son had become a big figure in the Martial Temple, and almost all the aristocratic clans in Xiaoyao City were scrambling to send him money and gifts.

"Did you eat those two fruits I sent you last time?" Lin Yuan asked casually.

Those two fruits could prolong life and improve Physique. Naturally, they had no effect on Lin Yuan, but for low-level practitioners like his parents, they had an almost transformative effect.

"I ate that fruit and felt decades younger. Son, do you still have that kind of fruit now?" Lin Jianping became interested.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Such an immortal fruit is a treasure even in the Martial Temple. You old fellow, are you trying to put our son in a difficult spot? You've already eaten one, isn't that enough?"

Shen Zhen immediately became displeased.

To this day, they did not know Lin Yuan's specific identity within the Martial Temple, only knowing that his status was not low.

This was also because several Grand Elders of the Martial Temple deliberately concealed Lin Yuan's identity. The emergence of a peerless talent in the Martial Temple was by no means a good thing for other factions.

Therefore, before Lin Yuan completely matured, news regarding him would be sealed off.

"I was just asking."

Lin Jianping also knew the preciousness of that kind of immortal fruit.

"If you want to eat them, I'll bring some more next time," Lin Yuan smiled slightly.

With his current strength, which was close to Eighth Order Invincibles, mere spirit fruits that prolonged life and consolidated foundations could be picked with a casual wave of his hand.

Edge of the Profound King Domain.

Three Seventh Order Martial Dao practitioners gathered together once again.

"This military campaign is almost over; the three of us can finally return," one of the Seventh Order Martial Dao practitioners said.

His name was Dan Yang. Born in the Spirit Realm, he was fortunate enough to join the Martial Temple. Later, under the cultivation of the Martial Temple, he spent nearly a hundred thousand years stepping into the Seventh Order Martial Dao.

Dan Yang was very grateful to the Martial Temple. With his Aptitude, without the Martial Temple, he likely would have only been able to live like those Mortals, passing away and returning to dust after a hundred years.

How could he possess such terrifying strength capable of rivaling the methods of True Immortals as he did now?

"Returning this time, we can have a good rest for a while," another Seventh Order Martial Dao practitioner said with emotion.

During the campaigns for the Moral Immortal Sect, almost every interval of time required them to fight and kill against those True Immortals of the Dao Integration Stage. Even for Seventh Order Martial Dao practitioners, such frequent combat and bloodshed consumed a great deal of energy.

"Didn't they say the Martial Temple took in a peerless talent? This time when we return, the three of us should carve out some time to guide him, striving to Cultivate another seventh order for our Martial Dao."

Li Qing spoke up.

As a living being who ascended from the Lower Realm, she had received personal guidance from the legendary Martial Ancestor.

Li Qing's strength had already reached the Peak of the seventh order. If not for having no path forward, she likely would have already begun attempting the Ultimate Eighth Order.

"Hahaha, I certainly dare not forget this matter,"

Dan Yang said with a smile, "Returning to the Martial Temple this time, I plan to take that little fellow to soar through the Nine Heavens of the Spirit Realm, comprehending the aura of the vast Spirit Realm."

"Taking the Spirit Realm as a teacher."

"A good method."

Li Qing nodded.

Although she was unsure what kind of person that peerless talent of the Martial Temple was, taking the Spirit Realm as a teacher certainly wouldn't be wrong. The vast Spirit Realm had nurtured goodness knows how many Experts.

Soaring through the Nine Heavens of the Spirit Realm, even for them as Seventh Order Martial Dao practitioners, occasionally brought subtle epiphanies.

"It's just that I don't know if that little fellow can withstand it; the aura on the Nine Heavens is not something ordinary people can bear."

Dan Yang thought again.

"If he can't withstand it, take it slow."

"Don't disregard his feelings either."

Li Qing reminded him.

"Rest assured, Old Ancestor Li, I know my limits."

Dan Yang said with a smile.

Once he discovered that little fellow showing signs of being unable to withstand it.

He would immediately stop the journey.

"I have prepared three Azure Heaven Spirit Pills," another Seventh Order Martial Dao practitioner spoke.

His name was Nie Yun, also a living being born in the Spirit Realm, who had first entered the Seventh Order Martial Dao twenty thousand years ago.

"Azure Heaven Spirit Pills? This is a Foundation Establishment Divine Pill below the sixth order. Refining a furnace of them shouldn't be easy, right?" Dan Yang said with slight surprise.

"Even if it's not easy, it must be refined."

"For the prosperity of our Martial Dao."

Nie Yun said with a solemn expression.

Although the current Martial Dao cultivation system already had three seventh order Old Ancestors holding down the fort.

Compared to those behemoths with legacies spanning tens of millions of years, it was still far inferior.

Not to mention anything else, the Moral Immortal Sect alone could crush the current Martial Temple.

The Moral Immortal Sect had dozens of Dao Integration True Immortals holding down the fort, with more than five True Immortals at the Peak of Dao Integration.

More importantly, the immortal cultivation path taken by the Moral Immortal Sect had the potential to promote to the Tribulation Transcending Stage.

Just this point alone was something the Martial Dao cultivation system could never match.

"For the prosperity of the Martial Dao."

Li Qing's expression turned solemn as she said word by word.

She vaguely remembered that it was Lin Yuan who had saved her back in the East Sea and taught her the Martial Dao.

Therefore, Li Qing had long regarded what Lin Yuan wanted to do as what she wanted to do, which was to spread the Martial Dao cultivation system.

It was the same back in the Central Earth Divine Continent World.

Now situated in the vast Spirit Realm, Li Qing still regarded this as her lifelong goal.

Martial Temple.

Inside the Immortal Cave.

Lin Yuan continued to try absorbing the orange-yellow liquid.

Rumble.

Terrifying flames burned within his body, canceling out each other with the Power of Rebirth generated by Rebirth from a Drop of Blood, until finally Lin Yuan's figure collapsed.

Not long after.

Lin Yuan used Rebirth from a Drop of Blood to return once more.

"From completely absorbing the orange-yellow liquid, I estimate there is still some time."

Lin Yuan steadied his mind, slowly calming the pain he had experienced while absorbing the orange-yellow liquid just now.

Up to now, Lin Yuan's Internal World had received a 5.2-fold baseline enhancement. If the orange-yellow liquid was completely absorbed, it would reach a 6.66-fold enhancement.

By then, the size of the Internal World would approach twenty-six million miles.

"Take a break first."

Lin Yuan did not immediately re-absorb the orange-yellow liquid.

Although the liquid inside the Mysterious Gourd could continuously enhance physical strength and the Internal World.

But the devastation and suppression on the mental will were also becoming heavier and heavier. Every time Lin Yuan finished absorbing it, he had to rest for at least a few hours.

"Hmm?"

"The Grand Elder is looking for me?"

"The three Old Ancestors are back?"

Lin Yuan suddenly received a transmission from the Great Elder of the Martial Temple.

"Three Seventh Order Martial Dao… Li Qing…" Li Qing's appearance surfaced in Lin Yuan's mind.

Back then, when his Solar Nascent Soul was traveling through the East Sea, seeing a village on a small island being massacred by a Yao Beast, Lin Yuan had casually saved it.

And Li Qing came from that village.

Later, discovering that Li Qing possessed a non-low Aptitude for Martial Dao cultivation, Lin Yuan casually brought her back to White Jade Island.

"Let's go take a look."

Lin Yuan stood up, walked out of the Immortal Cave, and headed toward the Martial Temple main hall.

At this moment, inside the Martial Temple main hall.

Several Grand Elders stood there respectfully.

Three figures sat on the main seats.

They were precisely the three seventh order Old Ancestors of the Martial Temple.

They were—Li Qing, Dan Yang, and Nie Yun.

"Old Ancestor, we have already notified Lin Yuan to come over," the Great Elder of the Martial Temple said respectfully.

"Mhm, understood."

Dan Yang nodded, "After we meet in a moment, I will directly take him up to soar through the Nine Heavens."

Strictly speaking, the Nine Heavens of the Spirit Realm were located in different spatial layers. Every heaven possessed unimaginable scenes, either the manifestation of external rules or the revelation of the world's essence.

For low-tier practitioners, going to the Nine Heavens to observe was equivalent to a great Opportunity.

However, the Nine Heavens were not so easy to enter. Generally speaking, only True Immortals of the Dao Integration Stage could enter and soar through them.

As for bringing people along? Whether it was a True Immortal or a seventh order practitioner, wanting to bring a junior into the Nine Heavens required paying a considerable price.

And the duration was limited.

Soon.

Under the waiting of the three seventh order Old Ancestors.

Lin Yuan's figure appeared and walked into the main hall.

"Good lad."

Dan Yang carefully sized Lin Yuan up a few times and laughed loudly, "This Old Ancestor will give you a great Opportunity right now. Come soar through the Nine Heavens with me."

Finished speaking, Dan Yang's figure disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already standing beside Lin Yuan.

Immediately afterward.

Dan Yang grabbed Lin Yuan's shoulder, intending to soar straight up into the Nine Heavens.

However.

The next moment.

Dan Yang's expression froze.

His right hand pressing on Lin Yuan's shoulder trembled slightly.

Looking at Lin Yuan as if looking at a ghost.

Why is he so heavy?
