Chapter 258: Taiji Rule, Cosmic Power?

"Master's parents and family members haven't broken through to the Dao Integration Stage," Li Qing hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice.

Without breaking through to the Dao Integration Stage, relying on the Lifespan of the Refining Void Stage, it would be at most one or two hundred thousand years.

It was impossible for them to live until now, which meant they had passed away long ago in the past.

"Have they all passed away?" Hearing this, Lin Yuan wasn't surprised, and sighed inwardly.

This was the most normal situation. Breaking through from the sixth tier of martial arts to the seventh tier was extremely difficult, and breaking through from the Refining Void Stage to the Dao Integration Stage was equally extremely difficult.

Although Jun Dongjin was a mutated Heavenly Spiritual Root, one of the rarest Aptitudes in the Central Earth Divine Continent World, he wasn't so prominent once he reached the Spirit Realm.

In the Spirit Realm, besides judging Aptitude by Spiritual Roots, there were also many Dao Physiques in existence.

Jun Dongjin cultivated to the Peak of the Refining Void Stage, and finally failed his assault on the Dao Integration Stage, suffering heavy injuries.

Mu Lianer hadn't cultivated to the Peak of the Refining Void Stage, and the same was true for Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhilan.

With the help of the trump card Lin Yuan left behind back then, they successfully stepped into the Refining Void Stage and ascended to the Spirit Realm, but their subsequent cultivation progress was slow.

"How are they doing?"

Lin Yuan asked.

"They are doing pretty well, and the Moral Immortal Sect hasn't treated them unfairly."

Li Qing said immediately. Before knowing Lin Yuan's whereabouts, the Moral Immortal Sect wouldn't dare to have any ideas about Jun Dongjin and the others.

Anyway, providing for Jun Dongjin and the others was not even considered a burden to the vast Moral Immortal Sect, and Cangqing Immortal even summoned Jun Dongjin and the others multiple times to lecture on the Dao for them.

However, going from the Refining Void Stage to the Dao Integration Stage couldn't be achieved just by lecturing on the Dao a couple of times and bestowing enough cultivation resources.

Otherwise, everyone in the Moral Immortal Sect should be a True Immortal, rather than having only dozens of True Immortals holding down the fort.

"Before Master's parents passed away, they also told me not to give up searching for you." Li Qing's voice was somewhat low.

"What a pity." Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. If he had traveled through time a little earlier, perhaps it would have been a different result.

"In the future, if I can become a Supreme Powerhouse, I can try to resurrect them."

Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart.

Supreme Powerhouses mastered complete time and Space Rules, capable of reversing time, swimming against the current, pulling out the living beings who died in the past, and resurrecting them.

Before Jun Dongjin, Jun Zhilan, and the others died, they were at the Refining Void Stage, equivalent to the sixth-tier level. Their life essence was powerful; even if they hadn't deliberately integrated their life essence into the Spirit Realm, having lived for so long, their essence had long been recorded by the Spirit Realm.

As long as Lin Yuan became a Supreme Powerhouse, descended to this realm, and swam against the current, he should be able to resurrect them.

As for them passing away due to exhausted Lifespans, even if resurrected, they would face the Lifespan limit again a few breaths later.

However, Lin Yuan could completely extend their Lifespan within those few breaths.

The Lifespan-extension methods of the Spirit Realm were useless, but the Lifespan-extension methods of the Main World were simply too numerous.

As for the world backlash to be endured after resurrecting life,

the backlash caused by resurrecting a mere few sixth-tier lives was far too insignificant for a Supreme Powerhouse.

"Also, the descendants of Master's eldest brother and second sister are doing quite well in the Moral Immortal Sect." Li Qing seemed to recall something and spoke immediately.

Relying on Lin Yuan's relationship, Li Qing, a seventh-tier martial artist comparable to a True Immortal, was definitely the backing and trump card of the Jun family's descendants.

As long as Li Qing lived, the Jun family's descendants could not possibly have a bad time, and Cangqing Immortal was still watching over them.

"Is that so?" Lin Yuan glanced at Li Qing.

"Does Master want me to have those few outstanding younger generations of the Jun family come over to pay you a visit?" Li Qing probed.

"That works too." Lin Yuan thought for a moment. After all, there was some Karma with the Jun family. Now that he had descended once again, seeing them wasn't out of the question.

"Alright." Li Qing closed her eyes and immediately began to contact them.

As a general of the Moral Immortal Sect for external conquests, Li Qing naturally had means to directly contact the Moral Immortal Sect.

"Regarding Master's news, should it be concealed?"

After sending the message, Li Qing asked cautiously, "Cangqing Immortal once told me that once there is news of Master, I must inform him immediately."

"Cangqing Immortal… is still alive?" Lin Yuan became interested.

This old fellow's performance made him quite satisfied; at least he hadn't kicked him while he was down during his absence.

According to the information Lin Yuan knew, back when he was still in the Central Earth Divine Continent World, Cangqing Immortal had already lived for hundreds of thousands of years.

Now, hundreds of thousands of years had passed; even a Peak Dao Integration Stage True Immortal should be running out of Lifespan by now, right?

"Cangqing Immortal survived the Mind Tribulation, so his Lifespan is much longer than that of a normal True Immortal."

Li Qing said immediately.

To step from the Dao Integration Stage into the Tribulation Transcending Stage, Immortal dao cultivators needed to overcome two major tribulations.

The first was the Physical Body Tribulation.

The second was the Mind Tribulation.

The latter was similar to the Heart Demon Tribulation.

For Immortal dao cultivators, the hardest tribulation to overcome was the Physical Body Tribulation.

Most of an Immortal dao cultivator's methods were not in their Physical Body. Faced with the Five Decays of Heaven and Man in the Physical Body Tribulation, their Physical Body would decay.

It was difficult to have any means of resistance.

"Is that so?" Lin Yuan nodded.

Dao Integration Stage True Immortals who had survived the Mind Tribulation were still far inferior to Tribulation Transcending Immortal Kings, but their Soul will had undergone a transformation.

Their Soul Lifespan was extended to a certain extent.

And for True Immortals, if the Physical Body decayed, they could just change into a new one.

As long as the Soul endured, they could be considered Immortal.

"There is no need to conceal it," Lin Yuan said calmly.

Conceal?

Why conceal it?

Now that Lin Yuan had recovered his full strength and even advanced further, he could be considered an peerless expert even among Tribulation Transcending Immortal Kings, no weaker than a Supreme Immortal King.

Under such circumstances, there was completely no need to conceal it.

"Yes."

Li Qing replied.

After chatting with Li Qing for a few more sentences.

Lin Yuan then looked towards the other two sitting upright, Nie Yun and Dan Yang.

These two seventh-tier martial artists were rising stars of the martial arts cultivation system. Being able to step into the seventh tier through the guidance left behind by Lin Yuan, their martial arts Aptitude went without saying.

"You have never received my guidance, which is not easy. Inside the Jade Slip are the insights I've organized regarding seventh-tier cultivation; they should be helpful to you."

Lin Yuan's thought moved slightly, and two white Jade Slips appeared in front of Nie Yun and Dan Yang.

These two martial arts cultivators had not delved deeply into seventh-tier cultivation, although stepping onto the seventh-tier path was considered a wrong path by Lin Yuan.

However, there was still a chance to reshape it.

"As for you—" Lin Yuan looked towards Li Qing.

Li Qing was already at the seventh-tier Peak. Wanting to reshape her martial arts Foundation was not such a simple matter.

It was just that Lin Yuan already had an idea. After merely observing Li Qing for a short while, his Heaven-Defying Comprehension created a Cultivation Technique for reshaping suitable for Li Qing.

Heaven-Defying Comprehension depended on the height where Lin Yuan stood. Now that Lin Yuan was at the Middle Stage of the eighth order, creating a mere seventh-tier reshaping Cultivation Technique didn't require much energy at all.

"Thank you, Master."

Li Qing said with incomparable gratitude.

After cultivating to the seventh-tier Peak, she vaguely sensed that there were no more paths ahead. If nothing unexpected happened, her life would probably stop right here.

She was not the Martial Ancestor, who possessed earth-shaking talents and could create possibilities within the impossible.

Li Qing being able to step into the seventh tier, besides luck, was more importantly due to the guidance Lin Yuan left behind back then.

Dan Yang and Nie Yun walked out of the Martial Temple grand hall with churning emotions.

Martial Ancestor.

They had actually seen the legendary Martial Ancestor today.

And the Martial Ancestor's strength, not to mention comparable to a Tribulation Transcending Immortal King, was at least much stronger than Cangqing Immortal of the Moral Immortal Sect who had one foot across the threshold into the Tribulation Transcending Stage.

"Can my martial arts also give birth to such an expert?"

Dan Yang's mind was thrilled. Together with Nie Yun, he returned to the Immortal Cave, failing to calm down for a long time.

The existence of the Martial Ancestor told them that martial arts were not a dead end; just like Immortal dao, it was equally a supreme grand avenue.

"Right."

"The Jade Slip given to us by the Martial Ancestor."

Nie Yun seemed to recall something and reminded him.

Just now in the Martial Temple grand hall, the Martial Ancestor had given each of the two of them a Jade Slip.

Saying it would be helpful for their subsequent martial arts cultivation.

"Right."

"Jade Slip?"

Dan Yang immediately reacted.

Directly taking out that white Jade Slip.

The Jade Slip was very ordinary.

There was almost no difference from the Jade Slips used by low-tier Immortal cultivators of the Qi Refinement Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage.

Yet Dan Yang, a seventh-tier martial arts powerhouse, respectfully placed it before his eyes as if facing a sacred object.

Dan Yang and Nie Yun finally looked at each other and simultaneously viewed the contents inside the Jade Slip.

In merely a moment, the expressions of Dan Yang and Nie Yun shook, and stormy waves churned in their hearts.

So the cultivation of the seventh-tier chapter of martial arts was like this.

So the cultivation of the seventh-tier chapter of martial arts could still be like this?

So the cultivation of the seventh-tier chapter of martial arts should be like this.

The contents inside the Jade Slip were not much, but the two seventh-tier martial arts Experts looked at it for a full day.

Every single character was repeatedly pondered in their hearts, and every time they pondered, they could comprehend a different meaning.

A day later.

Dan Yang suddenly snapped back to his senses, looked at the Jade Slip in his hand, and muttered to himself, "My martial arts is also a supreme grand avenue."

Nie Yun was spirited, his eyes surging with divine light, "The Martial Ancestor is truly a Divine Being, creating martial arts from nothing, and now providing so much interpretation for the seventh-tier chapter."

The two looked at each other again, stood up, dusted their sleeves, faced the Martial Temple grand hall, and bowed respectfully three times.

"Thank you, Martial Ancestor, for the grace of imparting the Dao."

"Thank you, Martial Ancestor, for the grace of imparting the Dao."

"Thank you, Martial Ancestor, for the grace of imparting the Dao."

Martial Temple grand hall.

Lin Yuan sat there, his expression contemplative.

Giving guidance to the three seventh-tier martial artists was merely a flick of his hand for him.

At this moment, what Lin Yuan was pondering in his heart was another matter.

"Huai Dragon Palace?"

Lin Yuan muttered to himself in his heart.

Huai Dragon Palace was a Dao Integration Stage power of the Nine Rivers Domain. For hundreds of thousands of years, the Moral Immortal Sect had basically been battling and killing with Huai Dragon Palace.

For that essence of heavenly water, the two major forces were already like fire and water.

Every few hundred to a thousand years, a war would be launched, and nearly ten Dao Integration Stage True Immortals would enter the fray.

Li Qing and the other three seventh-tier martial artists were mostly situated on the battlefield against Huai Dragon Palace.

Back then when Jun Dongjin ascended to the Spirit Realm, at the Peak of the Refining Void Stage, he was severely injured by a dragon-descended ancient sage of Huai Dragon Palace.

If not for that severe injury, Jun Dongjin might have had a chance to step into the Dao Integration Stage.

Of course, it was only a chance; in reality, it was estimated that he still would have failed the Breakthrough.

But at least it would have made the backlash a bit lighter, allowing him to live for several hundred more years.

Above the Spirit Realm.

Distributed from high to low were the Nine Heavens.

Each of the Nine Heavens contained a certain type of phenomenon, either the manifestation of Dao Origin Rules, or a certain 'wonder' related to the essence of the world.

The Fourth Heaven.

A figure resembling a burning Great Sun stood with hands behind its back.

It was precisely Lin Yuan's Solar Nascent Soul.

"With my current strength, I can at most stop at the Fourth Heaven. As for the Fifth Heaven…"

Lin Yuan looked up at the sky, where dark clouds rolled, and countless pale purple lightning bolts coiled and intertwined.

To enter the Fifth Heaven, one must break through the Ninefold Lightning Tribulation. That was a heaven and earth tribulation countless times more terrifying than the Physical Body Tribulation in breaking through from Dao Integration to Tribulation Transcending.

Although it was said that Dao Integration Stage True Immortals could roam the Nine Heavens of the Spirit Realm, Experts of this level at most just strolled around the First Heaven and Second Heaven.

As for the Third Heaven, they basically couldn't enter, and the Fourth Heaven was even the Domain of Tribulation Transcending Immortal Kings.

The Fifth Heaven? Probably only the powerhouses among Immortal Kings could withstand the Ninefold Lightning Tribulation and enter.

The Solar Nascent Soul was ultimately just a Nascent Soul, and its combat power was far inferior to the main body. Unless Taiyin and Taiyang fused and transformed into the Taiji Primordial Spirit, rashly experiencing the Ninefold Lightning Tribulation carried the risk of the Nascent Soul collapsing.

"Forget it."

"Wait a little longer."

"I can feel that the Fusion and transformation of the Tai Yin Rule and Sun Rule are almost over."

"By then, this Nascent Soul body of mine will definitely see a massive increase in combat power."

Expectation surfaced in Lin Yuan's heart.

Ever since reopening the Internal World, the Tai Yin Rule had fused with the Sun Rule, forming a ball of light that hung above the firmament of the Internal World, slowly transforming.

Lin Yuan had a feeling that once the transformation ended, the Tai Yin Rule and Sun Rule would undergo incredible changes.

Inside the Immortal Cave.

Lin Yuan was cultivating.

At this moment, Lin Yuan silently opened his eyes.

Whoosh!

Internal World.

Lin Yuan's consciousness Incarnation appeared.

Looking up at that ball of light composed entirely of Taiyin Power and Taiyang power.

At this moment, a sense of palpitation arose in Lin Yuan's heart, vaguely sensing that the transformation inside the light ball had reached its final stage.

Crack—

The cracking sound that only Lin Yuan could hear suddenly rang in his ears.

He saw that ball of light above the firmament begin to split apart gradually.

Hum.

Wisps of brand new power, or rather rules, slowly revealed themselves.

This power presented two colors, black and white. On the surface, it looked no different from before, and the same was true in the infinite microscopic realm.

This meant a complete Fusion. The newly born power, or rules, was no longer a combination of Taiyin and Taiyang, but was inherently like this from the beginning.

The flawless black and white power transformed into the complete Taiji Power, rapidly integrating into the Internal World.

"This—"

Lin Yuan's consciousness returned to reality.

Raising his right hand, the pure black and white Yin and Yang power emitted a dreamlike halo, slowly affecting the surroundings.

At this moment.

Lin Yuan had an absolute sense of control.

Within his perception range, he could control everything.

"Why does this feeling look so much like the Cosmic Power of Eighth Order Invincibles?"

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up. Although the Eighth Order Invincibles of the Main World could not be replicated, some characteristics of Eighth Order Invincibles were all recorded.

Among them were descriptions related to the Cosmic Power comprehended by Eighth Order Invincibles.

Almost all Cosmic Power comprehended by Eighth Order Invincibles had one common feature.

That was control.

Control everything.

Absolute control.

"The Fusion of Taiyin and Taiyang transforming into Taiji is actually the prototype of some kind of Cosmic Power?"

Joy filled Lin Yuan's heart. At this moment, even without relying on the Internal World with a radius of twenty-six million li, and without relying on his numerous innate divine abilities, secret techniques, and methods, he could still go toe-to-toe with other Eighth Order Invincibles.

Because he was now an Eighth Order Invincible.
